Is kies really that bad? The 1st time I updated my phone, I used kies mini to go to stock froyo, had no issues at all
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
kies WILL NOT WORK to undo voodoo lagfix and kies WILL NOT WORK to go back to a Samsung rom from an mtd rom.

YOU MUST ODIN JFD! There is NO OTHER WAY. Period!
[Vibrant General] Woody:
CAPITAL LETTERS aside, Geo is right. Kies is notorious for bricking phoned. Don't use it.

Odin is what you need and should be one of your basic programs that you would use regularly if you intend to flash ROMs.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
Kies also won't get you to jfd, which is required.

Also, the capital words are for emphasis, because the same thing is being said over and over in this thread, and the same questions are being asked over and over again.
[Vibrant General] Woody:
No worries man. I agree wholeheartedly.

There should be a thread that just says "Don't use Kies". Sticky and lock it.
[Vibrant General] lipomoje:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coppo:
I am looking for a way to keep my video recorder and or qik recording if I hit the top button to lock the phone or home button to go back to the main screen to activate another application. I know it can be done with the voice recorder.

If I remember right qik used to do this but now when the top button is pushed the recording is stopped, saved and uploaded.

Also is there a way to make the side camera button start the video camera in stead of the regular camera? I know it's minor but I like my phones to do what I want them to and appriciate any suggestions or help.:)

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pteri498:
Someone answer this. I consider this bug to be nearly a deal breaker for me to use qik.

Tl;dr: *bump*
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coppo:
Not sure why this never received an answer as to if it's even possible. I am running Cynagoen 7.0.2 with the camera that came with it and basically stock MT4G.

While I have no clue when it comes to writing code, would this be a simple command like "video off" when certain buttons are pressed somewhere in the programming?

Again all i'm looking to do is to keep the video recording when the phone goes into standby. Actually I would like Qik to stay running so there is no possible way for someone to delete the footage but will settle for just the base camera.

Thanks if your able to help.
[Atrix 4G General] MKVFTW:
I am out of the atrix game but there is something that i came up with during some research about editing the build.prop file. This is in reguards to the problem with the Name display feature not working for rogers atrix users.

I have found a string that is in reference to CNAP (Caller Name Presentation). If someone with the name display wants to add this line to thier build.prop file and check it out. It might solve the problem....it also may not. I know its not specific to android in general as i had a captivate that name display worked perfectly on. So it has to be enabled somewhere within the software. Anyways, someone give it a shot and see what happens.

#1=enable, 0=disable
ro.ril.enable.cnap=1
[Atrix 4G General] ytwytw:
Just tried on my Prepaid Fido and doesnt work

I am Bell Atrix

it could be no name display on Prepaid plan
[Atrix 4G General] MKVFTW:
You WILL have to have name display activated on your carrier...
[Atrix 4G General] scorneil:
I would try this but no way I'm calling those Rogers ass-hats to get name display re-enabled.

But I am curious to see if it works.
[Atrix 4G General] creativedevil:
I would love to try this if I get some step by step guide on how to change the code...

Can someone please let me know and I will try it out this weekend... I have the same ****yass problem with Rogers... and those bastards would just say "Oh if the phone is not a Rogers phone, we are sorry but can't help you in anyways"...
[Atrix 4G General] androidfusion:
I don't mind calling those guys if this fix potentially works. I would also like to try this for you but I'm not too familiar with editing the Build.prop file. If some basic instructions could be provided I would definitely try it out.
[Atrix 4G General] scorneil:
can't help you with build.prop but if you call rogers, get tech support and say "I need to disable the name display on my account" they should know what you're talking about. If not keep calling until you get someone who does. Maybe I got lucky the first guy I talked to knew exactly what I was getting at. no more payphone
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
Can someone help this guy please.

When I get my hands on an Atrix again I will try it.
[Atrix 4G General] D_one:
Install root explorer, you must be rooted, navigate to /system/ mount rw, open build.prop. that's the simple way. You can aLao do this through adb if needed.

Stock Bell Atrix on Rogers with updated radio, Rooted, deodexed, Honeycomb theme, and frozen!
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
so does it work?
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
Can someone please check if this works.
[Atrix 4G General] helifixer:
Did not work for me. Changed build.prop via root explorer and rebooted.....still shows from payphone.
[Atrix 4G General] androidfusion:
Did you call Rogers to enable name id back before you tested it?
[Atrix 4G General] helifixer:
Never disabled it, I've only had the phone for 4days. Guess I might have to now, although on the motorola support forums they say it may get fixed in a "future" update.....
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
can you please provide the link?

I like to see tests tried twice before I say it works or doesn't.

And in this case it doesn't. I tried editing it via adb (used sed to insert the value in the prop file). Rebooted. Called, there was the ubiquidous Pay phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Deleted member 2488575:
Is this problem only for AT&T Atrix unlocked for Rogers or the Bell on as well?

Anyone with a Bell Atrix on rogers can you try this.
[Atrix 4G General] Aaron_gumba:
I just attempted to insert the code as instructed using root explorer. restarted the phone and called from a friends phone and the caller id came up as 'pay phone'.

I am using a bell atrix, rooted and unlocked, on Fido monthly plan.

Is it possible to just download the update over hspa? I have unlimited data, and won't be anywhere near a wifi point for the next few days

Swyped from my Motorola Atrix 4g using XDA Premium App
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entry Wounds:
The way I've always understood it and applied it was, the update has to be started with a wifi connection but can be finished on the carrier data plan. There is no way to start the download on the carrier data plan.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jnewell05:
I ran into this problem too. Seems like there needs to be an app to fake wifi. Iphone had this app, think it was called my 3g.

You have a laptop on u? I guess if u have unlimited data, use it to tether to ur laptop, download ur update n way to go...

the first two days my battery life was incredible. for the last 3-4 i've been trying to figure out why its become terrible again. today i basically uninstalled all apps from my phone and am going to run it dry to see if it lasts any longer than the 6 1/2hrs with mild usage from yesterday.

Thanks for pointing it out, modified. :D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
1) What is your software version?

2.2.2

2) Are you freezing apps?

Appack, browser (done yesterday), 2 - car homes, 2 - com.logmeins (done yesterday), email, maps, 2 - my accounts, tmo tv, tegrazone, videochat, zhino & zprovider (both done yesterday)

3) Are you using a task killer?

I was, ATK. Killing apps 20+ times a day. Removed ATK yesterday.

4) Are you using juice defender, or a similar app?

Just Watchdog to watch for things actually using up the battery. All is well.

5) Did you do google setup after a factory reset or right out of the box?

No. Purchased at TMO store. She took it out of the box and turned it on to get everything swtiched over. She handed me the phone at the google setup, I hit skip. I set it up later when I got home.. and then I charged the phone.

6) WCDMA preferred or WCDMA/GSM auto?

I thought it was on auto. It was on GSM only. Will switch to auto tomorrow after a fresh charge.

7) How is your battery life?

Been watching closely.. Pulled the charger at 8a (EST) yesterday. I just hit 32hrs. 24% remaining. A cpl web browsings, cpl txts, a handful of lengthy calls, messing around w/ uninstalling/installing apps, rebooted a couple of times while dealing w/ tmo on the phone.. minimal usage.

Wifi is on 95% of the time, with wifi calling.

Something interesting changed yesterday and I'm not sure specifically what app/service I froze that did it (I listed all that I did yesterday). Cell standby and wifi were always the top 2 dogs in battery usage.. this has been the case every single day since I've had the phone.

Today, phone idle is the top dog for the first time.. 35%. Cell standby 25%, wifi 24%. Cell stndby and wifi have been mainly up in the 35-40s. But then again, my usage hasn't been that high in the last 32hrs either.

I uninstalled all tmobile apps.

I also had a problem last time I charged my phone. I charged it with the phone off for about 6 hours. I cut it on this morning and it was only at 94%. I also have the wifi bug that causes wifi to not work properly. I'm not sure if all of this is tied together somehow.

[Vibrant General] dale5671:
Using Malice with the Bullet overclock. Everything working great and very happy with it, battery life is best I've ever had. But it's not the rom as I've had this issue with all the Axura builds as well...using dolphin bookmarks to sd, used it for a long time and hundreds maybe a few thousand saved bookmarks. When restoring them after a new rom flash, not all of them work. None of the recent saved files can be restored. A few of the oldest ones come back for me though. I'd really like to get them back as like I said there are many. Anything anybody can think of to make this work? Thanks.

[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
Okay, I know some people think it's redundant to Have backups of my contacts in both Google AND Verizon Backup Assistant, but I'm OCD and like having backups of everything. Also, at some point in time in the future I may not have an Android phone (God forbid) and I would need Verizon Backup Assistant to port all my contacts over to my new phone. Anyway, I'm running Liberty 1.5 which doesn't have BA. I have a folder on my SD card where I've saved all the stock Droid X apps, so I went there and copied both the apk and odex files to system/app and I changed the permissions to rw-r-r. Then I rebooted hoping that it would work, but it didn't. I did a bit of Google searching and found out that BA needs additional Blur components to run. Obviously I have those too, but I don't know which Blur components I need to install to make BA run. Does anyone know the Blur files I need to install in order for Liberty 1.5 to run Backup Assistant? Thanks in advance!
[Droid X General] mrdroidx:
i believe its buacontactadapter.apk
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
I tried copying the apk and odex for that just now in addition to the backup assistant apk and odex (and I still changed the permissions to rw-r-r). It still didn't work. Do you think there are more files I need to copy? Or is blur stuff just NOT compatible with Liberty 1.5?
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
It is designed to be blurless. However, if you keep installing files you may get it to work. Also, when you are in /system/app mount it as rw and install the app. You may have to do that as well
[Droid X General] mj23kb08:
So you're saying I need to just keep randomly installing blur files and hope for the best? I'd rather not. I'm hoping someone knows exactly what files to install. Anyone?

You've already got the tablet part almost half the price we paid for it. I doubt they will do the same deal for you but I suppose it's worth a try.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] computerpro3:
While I feel your pain on the pricing, it's not our fault you have insane taxes. Perhaps more importantly, since taxes are a large part of the UK price difference vs. the US, it shouldn't cost ASUS that much to offer a similar deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] human_error:
Our taxes are at 20% and yet the tablet is more than 20% more expensive. Also the Asus uk offer needed people to buy it before the 22nd, before the us release. Still, good luck getting the offer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
Hey don't get me wrong I hope you DO get the offer. I'm just saying I doubt you will. Like I said there's no harm in trying though. ... And yes our taxes suck but then unfortunately we're used to it nowadays.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
I received my invoice for the dock and paid before the 22nd, being one of the early adopters- but I can't get any confirmation they received payment. I doubt I'll get it soon if it is being spammed by guys in the US looking for a cheap dock :(

Seriously though, those in the States are getting a fantastic deal on the tablet, but I guess that isn't good enough. For once we get a relatively good deal in the UK and everyone else wants in! :D Maybe they are giving us a good deal as they know the tablet itself is overpriced compared to elsewhere.

Asus US Keyboard Dock

Asus, Listen up.

Major points to be had here and encourage accessory sales

What an amazing Tablet and not so amazing launch. Project Manager should be canned for this one. This is such a fine product and yet no one knows about it from the company that invented the netbook mass hysteria....

I purchased my tab at Best buy with ship to store option. They haven't even given me a courtesy email or anything at this point as to why it still shows “in process” I wish Asus and their employee families god speed with the recent Tsunami /Earthquake in japan. The imagery is surreal and devastating. Please extend a reasonable price on the docking accessory to the US . $149.99 is steep compared to $90 that they paid across the pond as a purchase promotion.

What would jump start accessory sales in the US is to do the following: Sell the dock for $99.99 shipped. Asus then will take $20 from each unit sold and donate to Japan Tsunami Relief. Everyone wins. I bet asus still makes a profit on these and helps in a big big way to make the world a better place for all.

Sincerely,
