[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
the way i rooted my g1 was very simple all you have to do is pay close attention to this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR0HpUVv-BY you'll notice in the video description there is another link on how to get your firmware from 1.6 to 1.5 (must do this first:D)

(there's a newer version of AmonRA 1.0.7) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669

if you have any trouble figuring this out i will help you step by step jus send me an e-mail to ldrifta@gmail.com so i can answer your questions faster! but honestly its very simple jus pay close attention.

(Optional) also there is the new radio 2.22.28.25 and hboot 1.33.0013d which makes your phone run much faster and allows you to get an extra 14mb on your ram.

the only thing to be careful with is flashing certain froyo roms you need to flash a 2708/2825 kernel with it for it to flash correctly also with some hero/sense roms.

the link to the kernel (froyo) is: http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=670

and to get your g1 to the new radio and hboot follow this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139 this step is tricky but again if you pay close attention you shouldnt have any issues.

at this point you should be free to start flashing some cool roms!! 2 of my personal favorites are FroyobyLazlo: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929678 and zachattack052 & xillius200's 2.1&1.5Hero: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670414

Happy flashing and good luck! hope this helped you out..

If anything happened and you dont wanna risk bricking your phone you can always Un-Root and get back to stock firmware by following this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=491350

at this point you will be back to original stock 1.0 firmware, from here you can either wait for the normal system update to show up which could take up to 24 hours, or if your impatient like me you can manually install the updates to get back to 1.6, i forget where i got the files for the updates and i dont know how to put file links in these posts so you can also email me and i will send you the zip files via e-mail ldrifta@gmail.com
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
So should everyone be using the 2.15.00.04.08 radio right now or is it only for certain roms/firmware? Is anyone with this radio getting faster speeds? :confused:

I can't get this radio to work in bootloader , all it says is

parsing PC36IMG..

and then throws me back in the bootloader. :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
I'm still using 11.19. should I switch? is there a new pri/nv beyond 1.90 to go with it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evo4gfan:
all I keep hearing is that its for GB leaked rom and some people have gotten slower or faster speeds. lately my 3g speeds are crappy and I was hoping maybe a new radio would help. i mean november 19th is a big diff from april 8.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelfp1:
AFAIK, no new PRI/NV has been released...

I personally haven't noticed better signal nor faster speeds, probably due to the overcrowded network. Haven't seen any adverse effects either, either in CM7 or Myn's Warm 2.2
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
On my device, the radio is performing without a hitch and I've been using it pretty much since it was leaked. Have I noticed any gains or decline in performance? No, not at all. It just works and my device is operating as it should. I'm currently using Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 and I've also used it with the Stock ODEXED 3.70 rom. No problems whatsoever.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I had it from I tried the leak, but I flashed back to 11.19 when I saw no improvement of any kind.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirmx:
Another user with no improvement or the opposite. Both 2.2 and 2.3 roms seemed to be the same.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guih:
Yea, I use the new radio with 2.2 and 2.3 and I don't see a difference in performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefcraig:
First let me apologize if this has already been asked.

Here are my rooted evo specs: Myn's 2.2 rls 5, hardware version 0003, radio 2.15.00.04.08, kernal 2.6.32.15 netarchy-toastmod 4.1.9.1 cfs, PRI 1.90.003 PRL 01115. Also changed both proxy to 0 and 0.0.0.0

I get internet connection when 4g is available. When not in 4g area no internet, not even 3g. The tilebar shows 5 full bars but no icon for 3g. Proir to rooting this was never an issue.

Please help. Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I can assure you it is not the rom. If I had to guess with your device, I would say it is the leaked radio. Downgrade back to 2.15.00.11.19 or 2.15.00.09.01.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefcraig:
had same problem with 11.19 radio.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Download the STOCK 3.70 ODEXED rom (yes, it's rooted and you will NOT lose root) from the link below and flash it. With the exception of it being rooted, it will put your device exactly like it was when you purchased it. After you've flashed it, test your 3G connection and speeds and see if it improves. If it is the same then you can assume that the problem is either hardware related or Sprint related.

[Android Software Development] ChemDroid:
Hey everybody, hope you can help me ;-)

my app creates a playlist of type m3u in the folder /sdcard/playlists/filename.m3u.

I'm trying to add the playlist to the MediaStore using MediaScannerConnection, so the playlist is listed in Android's Stock Music App, but it doesn't work: the playlist doesn't show up in the Music App's Category "Playlists".

Here's my code:

void rescanSD(final File playlistFile) {
msc = new MediaScannerConnection(TracklistActivity.this, new MediaScannerConnectionClient() {

@Override
public void onScanCompleted(String arg0, Uri arg1) {
if (arg0.equals(playlistFile.getAbsolutePath())) {
Log.d("Activity", "File scanned");
msc.disconnect();
}
}

@Override
public void onMediaScannerConnected() {
msc.scanFile(playlistFile.getAbsolutePath(), null);
}
});
msc.connect();
}

The Fileobject File playlistFile is my created m3u-File.

playlistFile.getAbsolutePath() gives: /mnt/sdcard/Music/playlists/filename.m3u

Logcat shows "File scanned", when app has finished, but the playlist doesn't show up in my Music App.

If I initiate a SD-rescan using Tasker the playlist appears in the desired list, so Tasker must be using an other code for realizing that.

Can please anybody tell me where the bug in my code is and give me a suggestion how I can achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance ;-)

You can do it on Dolphin too if you want your browser to support flash.
[EVO Shift 4G General] NavalFluff:
Hello, I'm new to the whole Android thing, but I managed to recently root my Shift, and I can attest to the addictive properties of trying out ROMS/Kernels and all that good stuff. But I was worried about the idea of all this flashing I'm doing, as in the month or so I've been rooted I've flashed about four ROMS, messed up a few times, done a good 5 or 6 Nandroid restores/backups. I was just curios to know if this is excessive, or if this could damage my phone in any way. Thanks for any help guys!

P.S., I apologize if this is either in the wrong thread, or has already been answered >_< I'm still a young'un
[EVO Shift 4G General] kbrn:
As far as I know by flashing a lot you can damage the relationship with your wife or g/f due to spending a lot of time doing it.. besides that I believe that the only way you can damage your phone is due to a bad flash or flashing something that wasn't exactly supported by the Shift.:D
[EVO Shift 4G General] HTCotta:
I recall this discussion back when I had a TouchPro2, I don't know if it applies to the Shift as well but I assume it does. From my understanding it was determined by people far more informed than me that flashing would eventually wear out the NAND memory...but it would take more flashes than even the most fiendish flashaholic could complete in the phones lifetime to do. This is what I know from discussions of a past phone, I'm not claiming anything about the lifetime of the phone and take no responsibility if you flash 5000 ROMS tonight and your NAND burns out. lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] aclearersky:
I think the only way you can actually brick your phone from flashing is if you flash a bad ratio from like a gsm carrier to a cdma phone. Might be wrong. Cause even if you flash a bad rom as long as you have a working recovery you can always just reflash a new rom or ruu
[EVO Shift 4G General] c00ller:
I think his underlying question may have to do with the fact that every NAND flash memory module has a limited number of writes in its lifetime before it can't write another bit and tell whether or not the module is in the 0 or 1 state.

This is also why data2ext/apps2ext etc anything that constantly writes information to your SD card will also degrade the lifetime of the SD card.

Basically yes, in principle the number of times you write new data to the phone's built-in memory, you shave off another write from its life. But I don't think this is significant at all. Just as a reference, I'm sure there are people with the original G1 who have flashed a countless number of times over several years and still have it working.
[EVO Shift 4G General] HTCotta:
^^This.

If it gives you peace of mind, think about how many times a ROM chef's phone gets flashed in its lifetime and usually if the phone dies it's on account of flashing something experimental that bricks the phone (wrong radio, etc.) I've never heard of someones NAND actually burning out. I flashed my TouchPro and TouchPro2 quite literally hundreds of times if that makes you feel better.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
THIS. Main danger.

[EVO Shift 4G General] NavalFluff:

On my HeroC I changed roms two to three times a week. When CM6 came out, it was everyday (with full wipe) thanks to the nightlies. Then aosp started releasing his stuff in IRC yada yada.

[Nexus S General] Smurph82:
I am posting for a friend that has a SNS. The couple of days he has been draining the battery in about 6 hrs. I looked at the battery usage and it said that the display was at 60% and the graph shows a constant fail of power. I checked and he has the screen set to auto brightness and the screen times out at one minute. The only other thing that I cna think of is that he has poor cell coverage but we are using wifi in that location which his phone is connected to. I understand that poor cell coverage causes power drains but with the major of his data going through the wifi one would think that the cell power drain would be minuscule. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] krohnjw:
It depends on how weak. Data is not going to route over the cellular network, but it will try to maintain a connection for things like calls. Thus the phone will attempt to maintain a connection to the tower unless airplane mode is enabled or the cellular radio is otherwise disabled.

If the signal is really weak then the gain is going to be automatically adjusted to try to boost the signal - this is going to cause an increase in power used, sometimes substantially. If you spend most of the day in this situation then you don't have many options currently if you want to receive calls on the phone (you could look at a SIP solution).

If you don't care about receiving calls just turn on airplane mode and then toggle wifi on.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
You need to provide screen on time and awake time. If he just got the phone and is using it a lot.... well then six hours is not bad for an android phone.
[Nexus S General] lambda30:
Not really. Maybe 6 hours continuous use, something like 3 hours display at 20-50% and 3 hours talk time; that would be normal. But 6 hours low-medium use points out that something is indeed wrong.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
But like I said we don't know if it was normal or heavy use without screen on time and awake time.
[Nexus S General] ItsDace:
Set the Phone to GSM Auto (PRL)
[Nexus S General] bfksc:
60% display means the phone was on and actively used for over 3 hours. That's a fair bit but isn't too much really, but it depends on what else is running durng that time. As mentioned, awake time is also important because it means the phone is actively working at something even though the screen is off. He may have a rogue app that he installed sucking power. Or simply leaving the web browser on a webpage with a regular refresh cycle will cause the browser to continue to run in the background keeping the phone awake while the screen is off. I've gotten in the habit of going back to the google home page when I'm done browsing to make sure it's on a "dead" page.

Anywho, more details are needed to figure it out. Just saying it's only using 60% display isn't enough to find out why the phone only lasts 6 hours. Mine lasts between 24-48 hours depending on usage from heavy to moderate. With light usage I figure the battery would last 3-4 days, but I'm not that light of a user and I generally top up every night anyway as it's better to top up a Li-Ion battery than let it run down all the time.
[Nexus S General] bfksc:
My Nexus S on Rogers was already on that setting out of the box. I'm curious, what does that do?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Huh???

When it says "What's been using the battery" and it says "Display........ 60%"

that just means that the display is responsible of 60% of the battery drain that has occurred since last boot.

For example, if you were at 100%, then turned your phone on for 5 minutes and scrolled back and forth on homescreens, lets say your batter went down to 95%. Well, if 2.5% of that 5% loss is from display, and 2.5% is from Android System, then when you check the battery screen it's going to say "What's been using the batter?"....... Display - 50%; Android system - 50%.

If you did the same thing for 4 hours, and the battery drained down to 20%, you might still see...... Display 50%, Android system - 50%.

In other words, the % has nothing to do with how long the phone has been on.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
also if screen on time is 3 to 4 hours, yes the battery will be very low by then.
[Nexus S General] Smurph82:
Thank you all for the advice. As I said this is my friends phone. i don't see him using it a lot we are both programmers so we use a computer for most everything, and we have both our phones on wifi because of the terrible cell signal. I will ask him to try and keep up with everything he does to see his use patterns to see how much he is really using the phone. I will post later on what apps are running and his amount of use. The main reason I am not sure is because this has just started happening with in the last week. We have been in the same location for 6 months and it has just now become a problem.

Hmm...ok that kinda helps, but it doesn't really explain what's happening when it uses that setting. I know that PRL means preferred roaming list, and GSM Auto means it selects automatically, but how it selects and why it uses less battery is what I want to know.

I was on Liberty GB v0.3.

So after installing a ROM via flashing with clockwork recovery (DSPmanager specifically, didn't work obviously). When I rebooted, I got stuck in a boot loop, nothing special... problem was I couldn't even get into recovery, no matter what I tried. The only thing I could get to was the bootloader, so I SBF'd to full 2.3.340. Didn't work. Tried flashing 2.3.340 system only, also didn't work.

This is the bootloader error:

Bootloader
30.04

How screwed am I? Is there any way I can fix this?

Are you using a Windows' machine to SBF the phone, via RSD Lite? If so, try using a Linux (Ubuntu) machine to SBF your phone. I got an error message myself while trying to SBF my phone on a Windows 7 machine. Tried updating drivers like 7 times to no avail. However, when I SBF'd using Ubuntu, BAM!, no issues.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] timafey:
I currently have a Vibrant and I feel like this phone was a total POS until almost 6month later when voodoo lag fix came along and ROMS started to come out that had working GPS, better data, etc etc... If not for the dev community I would have thrown this thing out the window the 2nd time the GPS couldn't find me on google maps...

I love tinkering with a phone, but I also want to start with a phone that doesn't have random reboots, crappy GPS, slow file system lag and all the other crap I had to deal with the Vibrant (and my first android MyTouch 3g)... Althought most issues have been ironed out now, it took almost a year since I first purchased my Vibrant, and I am looking to upgrade either to G2x, Sensation or GSII. Don't want to start a battle which is better, but from what I gathered so far from G2x:

-Screen: hit or miss, some complain about bleed, some say its the best thing ever... seems like the quality control is really a hit or miss with the display

-Data: Won't connect to 4g network, generally seems to be unreliable and signal strength weaker than most phones but has a great GPS

-Battery: Heard there is a battery drain issue, some say its corrected with factory reset?

-Integration: Stock android 2.2? So I am guessing contacts aren't linked together to social network profiles?

-Build Quality: Better than most other phones, rock solid not many complain

-Speed: Looks like its a pretty quick phone for running on an un-optimized OS, will get quicker with updates

Before anyone starts praising and telling me this phones potential and that CM is going to make this awesome, I really don't care... my Vibrant had the potential to not be a total POS either, a year later its somewhat tolerable and right about the time when dual core phones have come out and me starting to look for upgrade. So I guess I just want to know what are some known issues with the phone today that you guys have noticed. I know there is no perfect phone, but I want something that can be tolerable for at least a little while before a custom rom comes out that doesn't breaks more things than it fixes
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moyofalaye:
Me Personnally

I too also came from the vibrants ., and was also fed up with the crappy support from samsung, and that an official cm has still not seen the light of day.

Thats the reason i got the g2x. From what i heard, its completely open. Alot of the top devs for cm have or are getting the phone.

I think the screen bleed is something that everyone is going to have to get used too. I have some bleeds at the corner of my screen too.

Performance wise; without tweaks, just straight out of the box for me, this has destroyed my vibrant with teamweaskys latest rom.

I wont get the sensation because of the locked bootloader, and i am not going to trust or put up with the crap that samsung gave us with the vibrant.

This phone is AWESOME!!!!!!! i am loving it so much.

apart from the screen bleed, all the other issues you see here, are all temporary, i mean real temporary.

Ps

Saw a tweet come in with some peeps already running gingerbread on there gx2
