[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerZone1223:
Hmmm...

It probably is the tower. Could be the modem to blame as well. Here in my house, I connect to my Airrave. 98% of the time, I have full bars with a stable connection with relatively consistent fast 3G speeds. The 2%, I get some wonky lag and usually then go and reset the Airrave. Everything works fine after I reset it.

I was just out of town in Vegas over the weekend and I had MAJOR problems sending MMS's, highly erratic data speeds, fluctuating signal, and overall connection problems. That was even when I wasn't holding the phone. Voice data and sending SMS's were very reliable, but forget sending MMS's or having good 4G speeds. I'm starting to think 4G is a drain both battery and money wise. Using 4G is like driving a classic car: It doesn't always start up, they're hard to find, they're finicky; but when it works properly, it's badass!

Random question: Is there an app that has a status bar for sending SMS and MMS's like the iPhone? For example, on the iPhone when you send an SMS or MMS, there's a status bar that shows the status of that message. If it's going out or lagging, etc. Is there an app that does that? I think that's a cool feature. Handcent just has a circular pinwheel, but stops when it goes out.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayzooos:
I would think it has to do with the modem as well. I have an EB13 based ROM, but an EC05 modem. I've noticed similar things, just not very frequently. It's strange...I'll have "great" signal, then for no reason, it'll dorp to 1x coverage and that SUCKS.

I'm thinking of going back to the EB13 modem as most people seem to think it's quite a bit better than the EC05 modem. I do think even that varies from phone to phone though, so I think it's mostly trial and error until you find what works best for you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoulon:
I have a fantastic update. Well it is for me, and might be for all f you also. Last night I decided to odin the EC05 modem again. And guess what? My signals beeen great!! Its always constant! No 4bars then zero in same spot no more!!

I already had the EC05 modem before I decided to do this. I recommmend odin'in you modem again!!

BIG NOTE*** I used the phone location for the modem.tar NOT pda.

Hi,

I wouldn't create this thread if i'm not REALLY REALLY DESPERATE.. :confused::confused:

Basically i'm writing a very simple app (a game) that sends SMS to a particular number every time a button is pressed.

The message from SecurityException is "Users 10036 does not have android.permission.SEND_SMS.ID = 0"

[Atrix 4G General] wishb0n3:
Well ok here is where im at.... no idea what to do....

Rooted my phone with gladroot to .52. and everything was fine.. Then the .83 update came out and someone said to update from my computer instead of phone becuase i was getting the little green guy with !....

So i updated to .83... So now im stuck with no root and it said something failed after the update... but when i look it says im on .83... what am i doing wrong.. i have been waiting days for any help.. i dont have an SD card for my atrix.. just the memory it has. To use gingerbreak do i need a card? please help me
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
I havent tried it without a SD, but it says that you NEED a SD card for it to work.... so im guess thats where the problem is
[Atrix 4G General] franciscojavierleon:
when you make a new thread, please put an appropriate name. "Wow wtf" is a worthless thread name and makes it very hard for users to search appropriately on the forum. A good name would be "No root after updating to 1.8.3" or "Failed update to 1.8.3"

Flash the 1.8.3 SBF and then user gingerbreak (which needs an external sd card, and it WILL format your internal one, so make backups)

There are tons of threads about sbf flashing and gingerbreak use so no need to continue this one.
[Atrix 4G General] wesglbrt:
I had the same problems that you are experiencing. I went and downloaded a stock 1.8.3 sbf and flashed my device using RSD lite. (search forums for RSD and you'll find the download link) Once you get your phone up and running CORRECTLY on 1.8.3, search for and download Gingerbreak and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and it will work beautifully. As far as the SD card goes, I'm not sure why you need one but since it says you do, believe it. I used Gingerbreak WITH a SD card installed and it worked flawlessly. Good luck to you. Don't give up, the Atrix is a wonderful device!! Also, a helpful word of advice... use the search tool for all of the above referenced downloads. They are all over this forum usually in multiple threads so you will find them.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
If you tried to update from .52 to .83 that's your problem.

The update is 4.1.57 to 4.1.83.
[Atrix 4G General] lyon21:
Flash back to stock 1.26, use gladroot, update to 1.57, don't do anything, update to 1.83, run afterupdate.bat. You will then be rooted on 1.83. It takes a little more time than gingerbreak but I find it works a lot easier than backing everything up and formatting your sd card with gingerbreak.
[Atrix 4G General] slayu:
Don't panic. Simply run afterupdate.bat in gladroot while you are on .83 and you'll be fine.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
It's not like a PC, where you can go out and upgrade your video card or buy a higher resolution monitor.

I don't have any complaints about the screen, and I used to have a captivate, which technically has a better screen.

It is what it is, I guess.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ashies7:
I also came from the Captivate and as you said- it is what it is... Also think thats why this phone started out 100 dollars cheaper...
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
The display on this phone is a S-LCD. It's not LED, despite what others have said. If it were AMOLED, then black pixels would be off, not still back-lit. That's why the Captivate screen "technically" is better.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haphim:
I'm still not getting the 1.8.3 update. When I check, it says "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later."

Is this normal, because they're still doling it out? Or is there a problem?

The message makes it sound like the update service itself was not found, not that there was no update found.

I haven't done anything more radical than root my phone, so I wouldn't think there would be an issue.

Not sure where I went wrong, but I have a rooted 2.1 (Z4Root) that the computer WILL NOT recognize. Odin doesn't see it, Kies doesn't see it, and Explorer doesn't see it. Was hoping to revert to absolute stock. The reset to factory option on the phone didn't help. Any thoughts, ideas, etc?

Took it to USCC repair and they couldn't get it to be recognized either. They mentioned restore to factory, but I have already tried that.

[Xoom General] PhxkinMassacre:
Ok so I'm looking into buying an android tablet because I'm going on a road trip to Vegas in July and its a 3 day drive so I wanted to get one to stay entertained on the drive and while we r out there (I can't gamble because I'm only 16 :( ). So I can't decide between the galaxy tab 10.1 and the xoom.

From what I have heard the xoom's display is kinda dim and glary and the speakers r decent but it has stock 3.0 so it get direct updates which is a huge plus.

But I'm guessing the tab will have some kind of super amoled screen since just about all of their phones do so that would be a plus. But this will have a touchwiz overlay on it which is a downside because Samsung f***ing sucks with updates and I hate waiting. But if google releases the source code for 3.0 then it wont matter because I'm sure devs will make some good roms for it.

So what do you guys think will be better?
[Xoom General] scsa20:
Couldn't find the specs for the Tab 10.1 from Samsung's site but I think I found the specs on some other site and it looks to be comparable to the XOOM (The specs for the Tab: (google "samsung galaxy tab 10.1 specifications" and first link, I would post the link itself but the forum won't let me since I don't have enough posts))

Since the Tab 10.1 isn't out yet, it makes it hard to really compare based off of just specs alone (even more so when the specs can changed from now until released date in June, although they probably won't change it much now since it's getting closer to that date).

What I can see, the Tab 10.1 will have support for playback in 1080p and records in 720p. The XOOM playbacks and records in 720p. The Tab's back facing camera is only 3MP while the XOOM's 5MP. The front facing is 2MP for both.

Both tablets are using the same processor so not much to say about that.

Both tablets are using 3.0 Honeycomb but the Tab 10.1 has a few UI changes but not by much (probably by way of an add APK file since Google is not allowing manufacturers to change the core UI from my understanding, but I could be wrong).

Another thing that's different is that the Tab 10.1 will be for 3G/WiFi only while the XOOM will be upgraded to 4G LTE once available.

I, personally, gotten the XOOM because I feel in love with what it can do plus the fact that it's pure Android allows for easy and fast upgrades. Plus the fact that it's upgraded to 4G LTE is awesome for using the faster speeds once available.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Note that Xoom is NOT a Nexus device.

Meaning, it will get update from Motorola, and NOT directly from Google.

TouchWiz on GTab 10.1 is not deeply integrated on OS like in the Samsung phones. It is just apps and Widgets. It does not alter the Android Honeycomb UI.

That's about Android update.
[Xoom General] PhxkinMassacre:
Good points. But I would only get the wifi version of either one because I already have a rooted evo to tether to. So I guess ill just wait it out and see some reviews of the Samsung tab when its out.
[Xoom General] scsa20:
True, but I said it as such due to the fact that the updates will be much faster since there is no core UI changes
[Xoom General] CSGirl:
I do love my Xoom, but play on upgrading to either the 10.1 or 8.9 Galaxy tab when the 3G/4G versions are out. It's significantly lighter and thinner than the Xoom (almost half the weight, and yes, it does matter) and I personally look forward to TouchWiz with resizable widgets and such, though I realize I'm in the minority.

Once it's out, go to the store, try them both, see how they feel. something like a tablet (or ebook reader, I got the original Nook over a Kindle because of this) it really matter how it feels in your hands, and that differs with every person.
[Xoom General] JimmyHACK:
The sexy thin Tab 10.1 for sure, if you can wait until they come out, if you need a tab now thats another debate

im gonna try your advice. but one questions.

is this the same service for sharing contact informations with a bluetooth device?

i have a parrot carkit which asks for something like contact list to sync everytime i reconnect it to get my contacts inside its memory. i hope it wont break this functions as i wont get any better with this problem
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] 2token2:
Hmm...i don know... i would not expect it... but this is why i recommend you to just rename the file... or in your case you should just kill the service and try your parrot.....
