[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
Basically, I want to know if i can flash a new radio when i rooted using visionary method. I dont know if a radio s-off is required or whatever, or whether or not i have it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
I think permroot and S-OFF is enough, but if you wanna have radio S-OFF, then you need to use gfree. It's not yet clear that the other radios are any better than the one you have already, but if you're up for experimenting, do as you please.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
any chance you could explain what radio S-OFF means?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
According to this page:

I think radio S-OFF also is what allows you to unlock the SIM and Carrier ID, which is what gfree does.
[EVO Shift 4G General] corybucher:
Not sure if many people know about this or not but Bestbuy has a trade in program you can use for your older phone to upgrade to new phones such as the Nexus S or Evo 3D. No I'm not talking about the Buy Back Program because that you have to pay for. I looked at the price that they would give me for my Shift and turns out I can get $145.00 for it so yeah My upgrade is on June 1st So I think I might get the Nexus S which will only cost me about $65 bucks. Just wanted to share my findings with all of you. Pretty sweet deal considering The Nexus S is pure Android or I might wait for the Evo 3D because I'm sure they will be announcing it here soon.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
I'm pretty sure you have to pay for the TradeIn program when you purchase your phone from Best Buy to be eligible for it....could be wrong though.
[EVO Shift 4G General] pwrmedia:
Yep, wrong. :D

Trade-in's @ BB are free, but be prepared to take a pretty lowball offer if the phone is older than 6mo and not in mint condition. Also, all "cash" is given in Best Buy store credit or $ off your new phone through them.

Additionally, anyone who purchased a new phone prior to the last week in Feb is grandfathered into their Buyback program, no charge.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rob_ec:
Just put your phone on craigs.bb offered me 20 for my hero trade in towards the shift.helll no! I sold a broken one for 35 lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
you're right i was thinking of the buyback program - http://goo.gl/wO0yz

I was also under the impression, you had to purchase your phone from BB to get them to offer any trade in value.

the no charge thing is not true. i purchased this phone in january and they were charging for it then. they did run a promotion for a week or two but when it was offered to me, it was $$ and not free.

do you have any links that say it will be free if purchased before end of Feb? That would be great.
[EVO Shift 4G General] pwrmedia:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2380337,00.asp (states that the program was extended for phones and tabs until 2/26/11)

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/07/best-buy-buy-back-becomes-official-free-through-february-12th/

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/0...ck-program-for-smartphones-tablets-until-226/

Here's the updated BB BB FAQ link.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/null/null/pcmcat232000050000.c?id=pcmcat232000050000&h=488

The important takeaways are:

1) Going forward, 50% off buying into the BB plan if you combine w/ the Geek Squad Black Tie protection plan (it's $10/month, and blows Sprint's insurance away - I've used this for the past 3 years and love it. So, it's an extra $20 upfront to get into the BB program.)

2) For mobile phones only, they'll give you a % of the RETAIL, not purchase cost. So, for example, you bought the Shift in Jan/Feb w/ your upgrade for $149, and you want to return it in July for the 3D. Provided your phone is in good shape, you'll get around $250 or so off the new phone regardless of upgrade. And if you're eligible for upgrade and in the BB program, you'll get your new phone for free, plus an extra $40 or so in store credits to purchase a case or larger SD card, etc..

From their website:

"How does the Buy Back Program work for mobile phones?

For mobile phones, the Buy Back provides exceptional value when you want to get the latest and greatest. The Buy Back Program for post paid mobile phones is based on the full retail price of the phone, not the discounted price of the phone. Your phone is typically discounted in price when you renew or sign up for a new contract. If the retail (non-contract) price is $600, your buy back value would be based on that amount, even if you purchased the phone for a lower price if the phone price was subsidized by the carrier.

For example: you pay $199 for a mobile phone which normally retails for $600 and also purchase the Buy Back Program. If you decide to redeem your buy back within 6-12 months of purchase, you will receive a Best Buy Gift Card in the amount of $240 (40% of the original retail price) to put toward your next purchase. "

again - it was free from superbowl week to feb 26th.

it wasn't free before that date completely.

From pcmag link:
[EVO Shift 4G General] pwrmedia:
Eh...:rolleyes:

Me thinks if you still have your receipt, you've got a fairly good shot of getting BB to honor it when/if you decide to get your next phone from them. I'd imagine they would like to keep a customer in this case. Worth a shot!
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
oh i'll try :)

lol although i could probably just get $250-275 on ebay/craigslist easy for when the evo3d comes out.
[EVO Shift 4G General] pwrmedia:
Right on, lol.....

Hell, if the Hero's are still selling for $100 on CL, then these phones can definitely command a price of $250 eaaaaaaaaaaasy. :D

Made this thread on androidforums, but figure i'd get a faster response here.

I'm trying to fix an issue with CM7, where my phone is constantly in 1x mode instead of 3g.

Is there a ## code that will allow me to change my Preferred mode to automatic?

I loaded up a sense rom, and tried to use ##3282# code as mentioned in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898882, but it seems to just give information about the txt messages sent and data usage.

Is there a different number for the incredible?

ok so im leaving the country and i dont want to be charged roaming charges how do i turn roaming off?

also if anyone has ATT is there anything i can do to possibly get some minutes in case of emergency?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm not sure Roaming is something you can turn on and off. Like if your roaming, you can't say "no im not" and hit a button, or can you? I've never heard of that at least. And I don't think you can just get minutes without paying extra..then if your roaming, you might want to think about just getting one of those pre-pay jobbies:rolleyes:

Anyway, just my 2cents:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] drutt7:
i bought a Optus my tab (ZTE v9) yesterday due to the cheap price.

and updated to Froyo 2.2.

and I'm having a few problems rooting it.

nothing seems to work.

i first tried Universal Android (as whirlpool said it worked)

nothing at all, constantly failed.

i tried superoneclick it said it was successful, but when i try to use Titanium Backup, it says i do not have root, but Superuser is installed.

tried Z4Root as it apparently worked, after clicking permanent root, it would do a few things than go to a white screen and reset. and was still not rooted.

any suggestions to what i can do?

i really want to get the bloatware junk off it.

also, are there any roms for it?

It's part of aosp gingerbread, not cm7 specifically.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpa2727:
I know there are effect transitions you were able to apply, Otherwise take it from someone who spent 10 hours on research when i had my Incredible. NO, the screen animation is apart of CM7 due to GingerBread. It's built into Gingerbreads Structure. So in short you can't just apply it. you can look up effects and mimic it. it will be close but not perfect. I'd say wait for Gingerbread or CM7 to pickup.

Titanium is definitely the way to go!! Easy and restores all app and app data, just don't backup system app it data, u may run into corruption so pretty much backup everything that's highlighted green and not red..

Hey all,

I am able to flash new roms, and after it does its looping i can get everything up and running, service, 3g, etc. Once i do a reboot and it loads up the rom again, i get no service, and a FC error saying "Process system is not responding"

Does anyone know the cause or how to fix this?

More info: i started on bb55 CM6.1.3 v4.5.7, upgraded to v06 and got this error

THEN i had to repair via sony pc companion, back to Rogers rom. then installed tripnmiui final, everything worked. once i rebooted i got no signal and fc msg.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aval1392:
Only thing i can possibly think of is your making some kind of error in the installation process of your ROMs. Repair your phone once again and follow the steps carefully on flashing new ROMs. Sounds like it could be a possible basebrand problem as well because Tripnmiui runs on basebrand .49 and .52. Should have a clean installation if you follow the steps carefully =)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevwo:

for the installation of tripnmiui i installed the rom and then changed the bb to 52. The rom was up and running, and i was able to get all services, but once i rebooted, nada...

Does this program drain battery? Had it on, and my battery was draining. Just want to make sure. I really like it to replacement stock launcher, but if it's going to kill the battery, might as well not keep it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I use go launcher on both my phones and it doesn't use any more power than any of the other launchers do
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Damnit, eerywhere I go Reg, your there to tell me that nothing I use is effecting my battery:/ this is my 3rd phone, I have no idea what I should do, factory reset?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
my battery life sucked too when i first got the phone. i had been lurking this section since day one before i got the phone so i was aware of all the battery issues and possible fixes. so when i finally brought the phone home the first thing i did was made sure i did the setup wizard and immediately after i did a factory reset. then after doing the wizard again i restored all my apps and started using the phone. quickly noticed my battery life wasnt great so i downloaded the battery monitor widget and saw that the phone was constantly using 100+mA at all times. It was then that I decided to factory reset AGAIN. After doing that and reloading all my apps everything was fine. my phone uses 2mA at idle and fluctuates sometimes into the hundred but it always goes back down as it should. I also charged my phone to 100% then booted into clockworkrecoverymod and deleted the battery stats to insure the phone is reading the battery capacity accurately. No need to drain the battery and recharge it, thats just a waste of time. Now my battery is awesome. I lose 2-3% per hour idling and 1% every 10 minutes or so in actual use (assuming im not doing anything thats constantly using data connection).

Moral of the story... You prolly need to factory reset more than once because it didnt work for me till the second one.

Just for the sake of comparison.. My Vibrant loses 10% per hour idle and 1% every 2-3 minutes in use. So the battery like on the G2x is double if not more. Unless you have a defective phone or battery I dont see why the factory reset would only work for some people.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Okay, I think I'm going to do the factory reset, I won't lose my superuser functionalities or root right? Or BloatFreezer apps etc.?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
You wont lose root. All your apps will be gone though so make sure you back them up with either titanium backup or mybackup pro. if i were you id install battery monitor widget and monitor that for an hour or 2 letting it idle to see if its still sucking juice for no reason and also use it for a good amount of time to make sure the mA go back down when you let it idle. that way you dont restore your stuff only to find the reset didnt work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Sounds good, thanks for the advice man, will try this tomorrow!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
So far it's not bad, it's at 1ma really when I'm idle, but as soon as I walked into my school building, I got 20ma, wtf? Is it maybe because my connection in school sucks? The cell standby went from 48% to 78%, can this be why?!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
Yes. Weaker signals will make your phone poll for a better signal more often. It'll be searching for other towers more frequently.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Correct. So dont pay it too much mind. The phones power useage will fluctuate. What's important is that it's not consistantly using 100+ mA. All the time. I've seen my mA usage go up to 40-50 while idle yet when I checked back moments later it was back down to 1. This is normal behavior.

via LG G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Okay, good well right now it's constant at around 10-15 ma, woke up at around 9 with 97% and now at 93% at 11:30 with a few text messages and browsing, I actually think that's a lot better than the past few days. Let's hope it stays that way
