[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samisthebest:
I have looked everywhere and i can't seem to find a solution!? I have recently installed JVK firmware on my galaxy s and after the update the data connection randomly cuts out for a while (im not sure whether its random or timed) and the 3g symbol stays on the screen but doesn't change to the 'H' symbol or have the orange and green arrow symbols lighting up!?. I have manually entered the CSC and still no dice! *NOTE* Data sometimes works and also I have had this problem in the past and ended up flashing back to a stock ROM so it's not a hardware problem!?. Do I need to install my providers modem again? if so I'm with Optus.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
In Settings, check under Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode and make sure it is set for GSM/WCDMA Auto Mode.

Also check to be sure your APNs are correct.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samisthebest:
Yes, both of these are correct as for the APN's as far as my resources have shown me they're correct but if they weren't i wouldn't be able to connect in the first place? thanks BTW if it helps the same thing happened when i used Darky's ROM

I installed an app from the market but can't uninstall it. The program is PressReader. Does anyone have trouble with this app. And how do I go about deleting it off the device completely?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] stuntdouble:
Pressreader is a pre-installed app so it sounds like you have mistaken updating it from the market as installing a fresh version. You can't uninstall /remove pre-installed apps in the rom unless you have rooted your device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nxp3:
Really...ypu possitive it's preinstalled on the transformer? Cause I swore I downloaded it. It had the install button when I went to the market. It also had an uninstall button after it's been installed, but doesn't do anything. Uninstalling will show the "install" button back when you visit the pressreader page. Oh well...may have to root it later at some point :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vodrin:
100% sure. It comes with a trial of 5 downloads or something. Not removable without root.

noob question : what is root means?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] KitsuneKnight:
The root account is the highest privileged account on unix-like operating systems, such as Linux, which Android is based on (well, it is). It's equivalent to (an elevated) Administrator on Windows/OS X.

Having root access means you can do (for the most part) whatever the hell you want to the device. You can delete any file you want, you can write files anywhere, you can mess with the configuration in ways not normally allowed (such as tethering), backup installed apps with their configuration, etc.

Cannot uninstall Any Rom App

Im running the Prime 1.4 Rom and cannot uninstall any of the apps that are pre-installed. And there are several that I would and this is one of them. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
Use Titanium backup, uninstall that way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Q.Entity:
With Ti Backup, you can just freeze the app. That way you can always bring it back if you change your mind ...

Some people have been asking me why my Inspire ROM based on RUU 2.36.405.8 feels smoother than other ROMs using this base (when scrolling through home screens in particular). I again thought I should share with the community to improve all Desire HD ROMs.

It's as simple as dropping in a few libs from the 2.31 leak (libsurfaceflinger.so, libsurfaceflinger_client.so, and libpagemap.so to be exact). Hopefully HTC takes notice of both this and the wifi issue and fixes them both in future builds.

This will help both RUU 2.36.405.8 and Saga based ROMs.

Just flash through Clockwork Recovery.

It may seem simple, but it actually took me a long time to narrow down which exact files are required to fix the issue, so if you appreciate my work, donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

also tried mdj's kernel v8. everything seemed fine at first. only problem was gps, wich couldn't find any satelites. now i'm on 6.0.1 with stock kernel and i just love all the working stuff. i trust, the few not working things can and will be fixed.

It's funny, I mentioned this scrolling lag quite a few times and people said things like "I have zero lag, the ROM is flying!" and stuff like that. I thought the lag was just targeting me haha. Nice to know I'm not alone ;).

Thanks for the fix man, I really appreciate it. I was about to give up on the laggyness on the new ROM's until I tried this out. It works like a charm and makes them as fast, or faster than the S ports.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schick79:
I'm officially over my WinMo TP2. I am going to get a new Android phone through Verizon. Was looking at the Droid X, but open to suggestions.

1) What phones have you all been able to successfully tether to the Xoom Wifi WITHOUT it being rooted? Also, I do NOT plan on paying Verizon for their mobile broadband option. If that means I have to root the phone, I'm fine with that. Please let me know if that's the case.

2) What Android/Verizon phones do you recommend in general?

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I am currently tethered to my Droid Incredible. Running Cyanogenmod 7. I know you were looking for solutions without root, but you also stated that you didn't want to pay Verizon for tethering. Not sure that you can do that without rooting. The native, built in tether with CM7 works great. Based on my personal experience, if I were in the market for a new VZW phone I would probably look at the Incredible 2.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Codespeare:
The Xoom doesn't have support for ad-hoc tethering without being rooted. If you can find a phone that will tether wifi in infrastructure mode, the Xoom should work without issue.

I've got both my DroidX and Xoom rooted and I tether my Xoom to it without issue after installing the tethering mod for ad-hoc support.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:

I know you asked for vzw feedback but fwiw I've been tethering flawlessly with my evo.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karel2010:
Hi guys,

I've a very strange issue with my phone. l'll try to explain it precisely despite my awful english !...

I'm under revolution rom since the beginning and everything worked fine until I tried to use my phone as a modem (for a mac) during my hollidays.

when I go back to "normal" use, the phone started but the screen remained very very dark. I could see that the phone was turned on but it was like if the brightness has been set to minimum. I try to reboot into recovery, Re-flash the rom, restore a backup,etc.

One day, without any reason, the phone turned on normally and worked fine for two weeks. But, during the last night, I put my phone in plane mode and in the morning this ****ing bug was here again !

Any idea or solution ? Note that manipulations are limited because of the darkness of the screen...

hope also that my problem is understandable !!!...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Hi, your English is perfectly understandable.:)

Is your brightness set manually or automatically?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karel2010:
thank you,

the brightness is set automatically but I would be very surprised if my problem only deals with the brightness setting !....

I must add that sometimes the phone starts on normally but the screen freezes very quickly (at the code pin entering screen)...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I'm guessing you've tried switching to manual and turning it all the way up?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karel2010:
No I didn't...but the problem for now is that I can not access to the settings because the phone doesn't start normally !...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
How does it start? Where do you get stuck?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karel2010:
Sometimes I can the HTC logo very dark and sometimes, as I said, the brightness is normal but the screen freezes when I have to tape my pin code.

I can also access the recovery mode, sometimes, by doing power button + vol. down button. By this way, I tried to reflash the rom, do a factory reset, but nothing works....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Whilst in the bootloader does the screen look darker there? Should be bright white, with text.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karel2010:
No, in the bootloader, I can see the text but it's also trough a darkened screen !...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
If your screen is dark in the bootloader, which should be bright white then you have a hardware fault. Reflash a stock PD98IMG.zip or RUU and contact your network/HTC for a repair.
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
I recently updated my Galaxy 3 to android 2.2 via kies (official update). Now, there is a icon for Task Manager showing which is inbuilt in 2.2

Galaxy 3 has 256 MB RAM. On the RAM Manager tab of Task Manager, it is written that 150 MB/246 MB. As far as I understand this, it means that 150 MB RAM is currently used out of total 246 MB.

My queries:

1) As per specs, it must be 256 MB but 246 MB is written in RAM Manager tab

2) On Active Apps tab of Task Manager tab, there are two apps listed with 12.23 MB and 6.53 MB RAM usage respectively, that means a total of 18.76 MB but at the same time, RAM Manager tab shows 150 MB usage. How is this possible...a bug or am i construing something wrong?

3) On RAM Manager tab, there are 2 buttons for Level 1 and Level 2 and a bar of Level 1 and Level 2. why there are 2 buttons for Level 1 and Level 2?

4) On Package tab, there is a line that says: Package Size: code + data. Program: 161 MB/194 MB. What is the meaning of this?

Note: I have not installed any app in SD card so all the memory here is phone memory
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Well, level 1 is for closing inactive apps and level 2 is for closing inactive and background apps to free space

Sent from Lestatious 1.8 Alpha 10 1.3GHz
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
thanks for the reply. What are background apps? Can they be active apps?
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Can anyone please answer this?
[Galaxy 3 General] jaskiratsingh:
I can answer 2

2) The apps displayed are the running apps. There are many apps and services that run in the background and eventually consume memory. You can check that by going to setting > services and setting > manage applications> running apps. All these are running in background and will always use RAM.

4) This means that you have used 161 MB of your internal memory. It displays the total apps size
[Galaxy 3 General] Giosiken:
Also before you say somenthing about the low free ram space, in android phones it doesnt matter as hard as windows, here the common trend is "free ram memory is wasted memory" this because the andrioid system manage correctly the apps loaded to ram and terminates them when its needed (almost all the time), and loads.all the services you need to run, just when you feel that an app is consuming too.much or the phone.gets slow you can. Use the.inbuilt.ram.sweep, level 1 is soft sweep, it just close the active applications, for example music player if you are running music. Level 2 its a deep sweep, closing all.backgroud apps like sync, launcher etc
[Galaxy 3 General] ygerg:
Answer to the 1st question:

The task manager shows "incorrect" amount of RAM because of the different calculation method. Manufacturers use an approximate value of 1000kb for 1mb, but software counts 1048kb=1mb (1024*1024 bytes). Thus 246mb*1,048=~257mb. Check wikipedia for more reference.
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks all for the valuable information and clearing up the air

I was checking my phone specs on

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2392&c=samsung_gt-i5801_galaxy_3__gt-i5800_galaxy_spica_2

There is a line there:

ROM_capacity:	512 MiB (accessible: 170 MiB)

I know that it has 512 MiB ROM but what is the meaning of 170 MiB accessible here?

I assume that 512 MiB is only for Android OS?
[Galaxy 3 General] Einril:
ROM is different from RAM

I assume these 170 MiB are the free space dedicated to install apps. Am I wrong ?
[Galaxy 3 General] Giosiken:
Yes, thats right, if im not wrong, the 512mib ROM space is used to install All the android system, leaving only 172 mb to install apps
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks. That means:

Total Internal Storage (ROM) = 512 MiB out of which

Storage available for android OS = 342 MiB

Storage available to install apps = 170 MiB
[Galaxy 3 General] ka'cipeder:
Total Internal Storage (ROM) = 512 MiB

It's kinda dumb to call it ROM, as it stands for Read Only Memmory. U can write/delete your ROM, including those 170MB for apps and those 342MB of OS memory with root access. Even Samsung calls it ROM...
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
That's what I was confused about when I first visited this forum...basically here the terminology is wrong....nothing is ROM here...and they are calling phone internal memory as ROM...
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hinks:
Hi all,

I've put CM7 on my HTC Legend and also upgraded the Radio as per instructions on some other thread here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=841932). All is fine, but I have some weird issues with not getting IP address from an AP

(NOTE: The wifi connecting problem was there before the radio upgrade, too - I upgraded radio to solve the GPS problems on CM7)

What happens (not always) is that Legend does not get an IP address from my local AP, while my notebook does, and internet access works (tested on several wifi clients). :confused:

The issue is fixed by restarting the AP - which is what I do not want to do anymore - like I said other wifi clients work fine and killing the AP for my Legend disturbs others that use the AP at that moment.

One thing I wanted to try was to change the MAC on the Legend to fool the AP.

I tried:

- busybox ip command that comes with CM7,

- busybox ifconfig command that comes with CM7,

- compiled 1.18.x busybox and tried ip and ifconfig

- tried with macchanger

all to have something like this printed:

# /data/local/download/busybox ifconfig tiwlan0 hw ether 00:23:76:dc:51:6e

ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Operation not supported

tiwlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:23:76:DC:51:6F

inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:100

RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

AFAIK, both ip and ifconfig should be able to do it.

Is there any other way to change the MAC? It does not need to be permanent (for now)..

OTOH, how can I get more information on wifi operation to see why it does not work?

Hi for all ..

I have an idea and I want to discuss it with you , If I could replace the memory chip in the phone

p-500 Will you work with the device, I mean in other words you will recognize the software and will operate with it or is there a specific amendment to the software even works , Of course, the slide will be compatible with existing hardware device will be about mostly from the same manufacturer " Qualcomm "

Of course, I have not research yet, but I am almost sure that technically, forsooth, Electronics Technician and unable to make the amendment to the hardware, but do not guarantee the work of software with the new memory, what do you think the topic Is it logical or not? Thank you very much.

To replace a hardware is on hell of a job.

Somehow you did that then you need to write a firmware according to its own personal instruction set for it to work properly that'll take months to do so.

you need to decode each and every instruction for each and every component of the phone.

you need to write every instruction of even smallest possible thing it can do in a program then make that program compatible with the firmware.then maybe it'll work.

I'll suggest you replacing the processor only put a tegra2 on the o1...:-)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] renskoenraadt:
Hi guys,

I have got a seriouw problem with the upgrade of my HTC Desire HD to the new leaked official ROM 2.36 etc. 'Gingerbread'. when I have downloaded the .exe from this website (by mirror) and would like to upgrade my phone, the first steps all go flawless.

Immediately when the upgrade program restarts my phone to access the bootloader, the HTC logo appears in my screen and stays there. After about two minutes, the program says that my phone is not properly connected with the usb cable to my computer and it ends the upgrade procedure. when I disconnect the phone, it won't restart itself and I should pull out the battery to restart the phone...

Does anybody have the same problem? How have you fixed this? Or does anybody has any idea how I can fix this?

Many thanks!
