[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
I've had my patriot class 10 for a month and had zero issues with it. It's not a class 10 thing, it's a bad card thing. I read a lot of bad card reviews on newegg when I bought mine and only bought it after reading that buyers that had a bad card had no problem with returns or exchanges.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthBelan:
I'm receiving a Patriot 32gb sdcard today and moving to the Synergy 3.0 rom. The only files and folders I want to move over are the files needed for my phone and my nandroid backup. Is there a list of essential files and folders? I'm not worried about saving my apps, just want a base sdcard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untruestory:
If you're switching to a new ROM you probably aren't concerned with saving app settings and such. If that is the case then you don't need to do anything other than copying over your nandroid.

I'd suggest formatting the new card from recovery to include swap and ext in case you ever want to use those partitions then mount the card from recovery, copy the files over and flash your new ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpilcher:
I have a Patriot and a PNY branded 16G C10 and they have performed well. Transcend doesn't like the ext-ext3 from reviews and same with the one I had.

Your questions seem to have been answered already, but on a side note: If you can remember to treat the phone as any other external storage device you want to keep error free (or at least help prevent errors). Try to disable/disconnect from the computer first, before switching modes on your phone. Otherwise its just like taking the usb cable out of the computer while the external device still has communication. I know...it will usually be OK...usually..just sayin...have fun with the new card.

Also recommend doing the partition so that its there from the start, you don't want to have to copy all your stuff down the road with that size of a card!

Hey can someone tell me how I can install Google maps. On my desire ... when I try to update from market it says file not found
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiSHARK:
Probably you can't find it because its not available in you'r region. I also can't. There are 2 solutions:

1) This is the easy way: download apk from the web (search in google "google maps apk 5.3.1" or try this http://software2tech.com/tag/google-maps-5-3-1-apk-download/) then install the apk on the phone (you should enable Settings->Aplications->Unknown sources).

2) You neet rooted device. Install MarketAccess and fake your provider to T-Mobile US. Now you will be able to download it from Android Market.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] oglop:
i know this has been asked a thousand times, but i can't find the answer after 2 days searching...

i'm using milestone 1, i flashed latest cm7 rom following a tutorial here, version number CyanogenMod 7.0.1 0.08-11.04.24 (Android 2.3.3) , yes i know that i need ext2/3/4 partition on my sdcard. so i createdd one fat32 5gig primary partition and one 2gig ext3 primary partition.

later i installed around 80 apps , if i open root explorer, i see in /sd-ext folder, 251mb used, 1.60g free , i know this indicates that app2ext is working (according to some reply in that really long cm7 thread)

but if i come to the manage applications menu which comes with android, on the downloaded tab, it stills shows that 96mb used, 101mb free for the internal storage. is this normal ? will i get the low storage space warning in the future if i install more apps ? ( all the apps are in internal storage, the on sdcard tab shows all app is not in sdcard. i set default installation path to internal storage in cw setting , some apps still install themself to sdcard however, but i manually move them back by pressing the move to phone button.)

oh and i saw some tutorials saying i need to type some mysterious command in console in OR, so i can move and link some folders to ext partition, say /data/dalvik_cache and some other folders. do i need to do this for cm7 mod i'm using?

thanks if someone could show me the correct direction. I'm totally confused by the massive amount tutorials.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
I believe that CM7 does not send the dalvik-cache of each app you install to the ext2 partition. So you still take up space on your phone, just much less.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] CronusStrife:
I have this problem too. And after I cleaned chache and dalvik cache, my internal storage is almost full
[Thunderbolt General] ShaneCroughan:
So I don't know whats going on but for some reason I'm able to send texts, and people are receiving them, but I'm not receiving their texts. I don't think I've done anything accept a Hot Restart yesterday, which I'm not sure what hat changes? Any Idea what this problem might be?
[Thunderbolt General] Richpopski123:
Wipe, and re install. Do you have the new radio installed?

The Rom is not the cause unless you didn't wipe...

Verizon is still having issues, mostly with text messages.
[Thunderbolt General] ShaneCroughan:
I actually ended up fixing the problem. I think it was the Hot Restart I did. I just rebooted my phone normally and I got 19 text messages lol. I wonder why the hot restart did that?

Hey I have a question - I'm pretty sure I downloaded the new radio when I flashed the new ROM but I don't think I ever installed it. Is there a way to check to see if I have the new one? I'm not really sure how to install the radio anyways, am I supposed to flash it through ROM manager like I did with the ROM? I remember downloading both files and I flashed the ROM but I don't think I ever went through with the Radio file because everything seemed to be working fine.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
You can flash the radios independent of the ROM and you flash them through HBOOT (Bootloader.) You can download the radios from the Bamf 1.6 thread (non-remix) as there is a link to download in the OP. Then put the PG zip file on the root of your SD Card and restart into bootloader (you can get there from the Bamf restart screen.) It will detect the zip file on the SD Card and then ask you if you want to update. Press the volume up button to say yes and let it upgrade. When it's done it'll tell you to press POWER to reboot. Then you should be good to go.

Make sure you move the radio zip file off of the root of your SD card into a folder when you're done or you can have issues down the road.

Good luck.
[Thunderbolt General] capflya:
If you didn't boot in to hboot you didn't flash the new radio...

You can verify this by going in to menu > settings > About Phone and the baseband version should be 1.16.00.402w_1

If you don't have that version you need to update the radio. Make sure the radio (P05IMG.zip) is on the root of your SD CARD. Reboot phone and choose the bootloader option from the reboot menu. That will boot in to hboot, follow the directions to install the zip and you should be gtg.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Hi guys,

I wanted to use the "Back Light Notification" which I understand requires a kernel that is supported.

I have not rooted my phone ... just updated manually to 2.3.4. Would it therefore be possible to change my kernel without rooting?

I'm on a NS from the US ... that's a i9020 I presume. The about screen shows baseband as I9020XXKD1 and the kernel version as 2.6.35.7-ge382d80
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maggotboy:
been trying all the ones from kernel manager just for grins, found nothing would really like to know as well :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
root is required to change your kernel because you are overwriting system files. by default, it is set to "read-only" and the only way to make it "overwritable" is to get root access to your phone.

why not root your phones? its a lot better than stock. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stanlehh:
I doubt so, you'll probably need to root your phone anyway.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
No, you don't have to be rooted to flash a kernel but you need a custom recovery e.g. clockworkmod. Just make a nandroid backup of your current ROM, copy it to your PC just in case, then experiment away!

[Droid X General] thecontrolm7cl:
I know this question has been answered somewhere i am just hoping someone can either give me a short answer or direct me to the answer.

Why can't i just back up with ROM manager? I ask because my camera button is broken and make any commands (thats what i get for getting a preowned phone)

thanks in advance
[Droid X General] thecontrolm7cl:
Second question

is there a way to give an enter command without the camera button
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Here's a short answer: no.

However you may be able to take it to Verizon to get it fixed. Sometimes they don't care if it was preowned. You might as well give it a shot
[Droid X General] thecontrolm7cl:
the only reason i can't is because i'm rooted running 2.3.3 liberty so i don't think they will be too friendly... but its okay i think i can live until summer for a new phone
[Droid X General] snwagner:
It's a hardware problem.. u can always try :) Or get insurance and wait... then pay your $100 deductible, or find a cell phone repair shop. Next time buy that squaretrade insurance.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
That is why I said you should try. If an employee knows how to tell if you're rooted there is a good chance they do it themself and will be sympathetic towards you
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mtmerrick:
So, on my LG Vortex (aka Optimis One Verizon Edition) the apps "Facebook for LG" and "Twitter for LG" are wrapped up into one apparently, called SNS. I hate twitter with a passion (no offense to any tweeters on the forum) and I only go on FB once in a while to look at my fiancée's posts, which I normally do thru the browser anyways. I would like to remove this app, but I am hesitant as I have no way of knowing what it'll affect on my phone. The apps are tied together into a cryptically named system app, and I'm worried they might be tied to something else, or worse, something I use. So, does anyone know what else (if anything) is included in the SNS app? Or if it is safe to remove this app? Any success or horror stories?

Thanks in advance guys.

Um, hello? anyone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
You can remove it buddy. Don't worry. You just have to do it the right way. It is better to use an uninstaller than doing it manually.

I use Uninstaller for Root from the market. It can backup the app and remove it. Or you can use Titanium Backup as everybody else does.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mtmerrick:
Alright, awesome. I actually already have the Uninstaller For Root app, so I'll use that ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragmentttt:
Not all my installed apps are visible on the "my apps"section on the market. Why is that? It was visible for the other roms. Something is wrong because when I restore apps, they are out of date so I update them whenever I'm done flashing. But for this one, it told me updates were available but none of the apps said "Update" next to them when I looked at the list.

I have tried reinstalling my apps, using appbrain, clearing cache/data with the market and google services, rebooted, uninstalling/reinstalling free app, NOTHING.

Im running Malice III ROM.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
Hi everyone, just a few minutes ago i was looking for a completely black wallpaper and it came to my mind to just put my finger over the camera and take a pic, as soon as i put my finger over the lens i saw a few red and blue spots on the screen...i then put it over a black cloth and i could still see the red and blue dots(look like dead pixels but on the sensor?) its best visible when camera is set to 8mp. I am just wondering if this is normal or if i have a faulty camera..the dots dissapear as soon as there is some light i will post a pic in a sec. Please can anyone test it out by turning on the cam set to 8mp and put your finger over the lens so its completely dark wait a bit ( 30-40sec) and look at the screen.

Edit: Also when you put the exposure to max you can see it even better.

Did a little research and it is called a hot pixels.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alefthau:
Hi,

At 1st excuse my english please! :D

You dont need to be afraid of this, this is totaly normal an youre camera is ok! ;)

The sensor generate colors from RGB (red, green and blue) and what you see there is no more then the try of the sensor to put colors in the dark! ;)

Greetings

Alef
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
Yes but they are on the same spot every time and they are flickering, the only way you can notice it is in a dark room and when you put somthing over the lens so its completely dark then i get flickering hot pixels on the same spots. Please can anyone else try this and let me know if you see it on the display/viewfinder.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtechfan:
A lot of sensors can suffer from that, that's why normal cameras offer pixel mapping to disable hot pixels. Unless you see those spots show up in final images I would say don't worry about.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
It does show on the final picture. That is why im asking people to check if they have same thing.. if every one has it i wouldnt worry about it but if not i will go exchange it while i can. Its bright flickering white, red and blue dots. Looks exactly like a stuck pixel and not the rgb noise ones that are visible on the whole screen.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alefthau:
Hi,

I found an explanation for this:

The CCD-Sensor interprets residual voltage (<----Hope the right word! :D) as brightness information what results in those colored spots!

As I said, its totaly normal! ;)

Greetings

Alef
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
If you take a picture in a dark room, the camera will boost the gain in order to try to take a decent picture. It will boost the gain until it sees enough content in the image. The darker the room, the more the gain will be boosted.

By covering the lens youve removed all of the light. The camera is therefore boosting the gain as much as it can until it's picking up what is effectively noise in a few of the pixels (some will always be more noisy than others). This wont have any noticable effect on a picture taken at normal light levels.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
Thank you everyone for the explanation :-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCast_XArc:
I actually noticed this, too. I thought I had a dead/hot pixel on the screen, but it only appears when it's on viewfinder mode. It doesn't really appear in the image taken itself (or maybe I just don't notice) so I never really minded it after the initial discovery. :) Glad to know this is just normal

[Captivate General] LiarInGlass:
Hi,

I'm a new member and owner of an Android device. I've tried many different ROMs, and have found the GR-11 ROM to be the one I like the most because it feels close to Stock.

My problem that I'm desperately hoping to find a solution for is that the Stock ROM had Samsung Widgets like "Feeds and Updates" where you could easily see Facebook News Feed and post easily. I really loved that widget.

I'm using the GR-11 ROM and it states about using TouchWiz 4. I thought the Samsung Widgets were part of the TouchWiz interface, but the widget I'm desperately wanting is not there.

I found one link that someone posted of a .zip file with the widgets, but I'm unable to install it and unable to install the specific .apk for the widget I'm wanting.

I really don't know if this is even possible as I'm just trying to learn, but this widget is one of the ones I am badly wanting to have and would love to have any information on how to possibly be able to use it.

Thanks.
[Captivate General] echelonMCRhartgrenade:

I havent tried it myself but I believe tweetdeck will do the same thing. Give it a try, never know :)
[Captivate General] 1tontomato:
Is it possible that the apk you are looking for is in a zip for CWM 2.5, and not CWM 3.0 if that'd the case just unzip on your desk top and copy to your sd card then just install the apk in to the sys/app folder with root explorer or another root file manager. Give that a try.
