mrphil..... really? So you're saying that people should make their voice heard about the bootloader situation.... by filling out a form about ATT's attempt to purchase T-Mobile..... which has been initiated by the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION?! WTF does the FCC have to do with locked bootloaders? Hell, i doubt even people at the FCC would know what the hell a "bootloader" is.

kane: i'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say Motorola was insinuating back in March... but again, if you're trying to say that they remotely close to promised an unlocked bootloader, you can look back and see news articles with quotes stating no such thing.

And if you really think that Facebook is a primary means of advertising for Motorola... Especially one that would cost them a LOT of money due to people complaining on it... I can't help but laugh.

I doubt the "average joe" will know what the bootloader is. I highly doubt they'll consider "this thing called a boot loader is locked" a critical reason to not buy the phone, if not for any more reason that they don't know what it is. And if they do happen to Google it... i highly doubt they're going to say "OMG, there are so many people complaining about this thing being locked. I can't buy that phone, it's a piece of sh*t". They'll probably say "Ok, if this thing is that important, what exactly does it do?" Even computer/tech illiterate aren't completely vexed on the subtle negatives of a device. I love my Atrix, and i love tweaking stuff. The fact is... Yes... i would like to see an unlocked bootloader so custom ROM's can be used. Is that something that would have ever made me think "Sh*t, i'm not buying that phone"? No. Why? Because other than that... there's absolutely nothing wrong with the phone, and it's still one of the most, if not the most powerful phone on the market so far. And it'll only get better once it see's the light of Gingerbread.

People also tend to weigh the options. They're not going to page through all the good things that people say about the phone, and then see that ONE bad thing that a lot of people are complaining about, and say "Yea, no."
[Atrix 4G General] mrphil101:
Read my post and tell me where i said to mention the bootloader issue. I said no voice here whining about it. I stated it wasn't the device manufacturer who initiated it, the service providers wanted it. If your opinion is to be heard, that is a more appropriate format, Yes, the FCC, FTC, and the other commission reviewing att's request. If you are all for them going back to MA Bell type control, well do that there. If there were enough submissions on a topic, then it will get some attention, however that is not the appropriate place to bring up the bootloader issue. Crippling devices, throttling service, misleading advertising, micromanaging how the consumer uses his purchased data, stuff like that would be more appropriate.

And Kane is correct, Motorola did say they would release the unlock for some devices in the last quarter. It would be at the discretion of the service providers to release it from there. Didn't mention any specific devices, and did not say atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Sorry.... but that seems to be saying exactly what you're saying you didn't say.

And no.... YOU are correct in saying that Motorola made the statement about unlocking some devices in the last quarter. Kane has basically said from post #3 that Motorola would have the bootloader unlocked from the get-go, or shortly thereafter.... which was never even remotely the case, not even at CES where he supposedly ordered his phone or something.
[Atrix 4G General] banes:
perhaps it was too subtle, but I already understand that the majority of devices come locked hence why we need devs to unlock our devices and can't just do so on our own, the difference is other companys have not signed their bootloaders the way motorola has and hopefully will not do so, but lets make sure they get the hint by buying their products in the future
[Atrix 4G General] Howler718:
It's honestly a **** phone and the only thing developed for it is a small but fiercely loyal fanbase. I grabbed it thinking it would change the game but instead I got **** build quality, horrible net speed, the finger from motorola, horrific call quality, and a unreliable phone prone to errors that required me to babysit it 24/7. Denial doesn't change anything nor does its benchmarks and begging Motorola has done norhing. And with this I say farewell to the Atrix nightmare.

Last note: flame me all you want I'm entitled to my condescending opinion and its the internet so we can say mean **** and nobody can stop us.
[Atrix 4G General] Blue Puma:
Cool story, bro. You had a defective device.
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
I don't agree. I like the Atrix a ton even with it being locked. You are giving up way to soon. Plus, there is already a method being worked on that will allow you to bypass the bootloader and I believe with this almost complete that within the next couple of months we might be seeing CM7 and MIUI running on the Atrix.

You have to believe, why do you give up so fast? Be more patient...
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Howler: Yea... just as Blue Puma said... that sounds more like a defective device, and a user who'd rather complain than find resolution. Several people have complained about most of the issues you mention, and found that it's more hardware related.
[Atrix 4G General] Howler718:
Two replaced phones, rooted, and ran GingerBlur the phone still was a pain in the ass. And I went one step further in selling for $500 and buying a Thunderbolt with LTE. Is the cool story bro line still being used... Really? This forum is Two replaced phones, rooted, and ran GingerBlur the phone still was a pain in the ass. Is the cool story bro line still being used... Really? This forum is hilarious. If somebody has an issue with the Atrix its assumed it was user error immediately. You've become Apple lol. I've notice after switching the forum I'm in now is all people comparing ROMS, chatting, and not biting heads off.
[Atrix 4G General] banes:
Well given ur most recent glorious trainwreck of a post, is it that hard to believe user error?

:D

Anyway I have alsi had two phones, returned first for bad speakerphone, but neither one had any of the problems uve mentioned, and most have not either so u must understand u are common denominator in all this. Its not impossible to fathom u got two defective devices, its also not impossible to think u used the same two incorrect methods on both phones hence the same problems. Otherwise ud see many, many more people complaining about ur issues.

[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
You're an idiot. Everything is already done except that kernel part.

Kholk even said we wouldn't have to worry about the radio needing a reboot, so kexec should actually be fully functional. GTFO of here if you're going to trash talk such a big project.

It's people like you that make devs give up. Give Kholk some support, or get out. No one needs your negativity, and no one wants it. Go be a pessimist elsewhere.

The HTC Sensation bootloader will most likely be signed according to this article: http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/13/htc-sensation-looks-to-have-signed-bootloader-custom-roms-look/

From the name of it, I assume it's the same type of lock that the Atrix has...?

Why are you still here? We get it by now, you don't like the phone, **** Motorola, etc.
[Atrix 4G General] Howler718:
I'm unsure what happened to my post but it was annihilated lol.

I stand to gain nothing by lying. I had brutal call quality like taking into a tin can and the build was seriously weak. Plastic and creaky is ****. Ahhh the Atrix forum I can feel the hate. Say what you will of user error I know I was not the issue. My girlfriends Atrix was just as terrible and was sold before mine and she was stock. Peace I got a ROM to install you should try it... Oh wait... You can't...
[Atrix 4G General] sifon187:
Obliviously we cant try your Thunderbolt ROM, they dont work on our Atrix. Two different phones there bud :rolleyes: . You must have regret about your desicion, our you would not keep coming back. Its oblivious you are just trying to convince yourself you made the right decision.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Yea.... i think Howler is experiencing that whole sinking feeling inside of buying an electronic device, only to find that it's been surpassed not long after buying it. The only difference is his whole scenario went in reverse of that. He bought a new device that's already running outdated hardware.

Seriously.... you really went from the Atrix to the Thunderbolt? My friend is on Verizon.... he has the original Motorola Droid. Even HE passed up on upgrading to the thunderbolt, because he didn't see any point in "upgrading" to another single core phone with very little extra to offer other than the LTE-capability, when dual-core phones already exist (on AT&T) and are just around the corner for Verizon.

So uuhmm... yeah... say what you will about the Atrix (even though with the evidence provided above, i'd still say it's probably user error).... it's still a fantastic phone to those who know how to not screw it up... or to those who know what's a hardware issue and what's not.

Being right is one thing. Being wrong and trying to cover that up by being a smartass.... TOTALLY different story. And you might call me an Atrix fanboy or some crap.... whatever yo. Let me just say, my last three phones (in order)... were a Motorola Q9, an iPhone 3GS, and an iPhone 4. Yes.... i went from the iPhone 4.... which is pretty much undeniably built like a tank... to the Atrix... which you seem to say is built like Lego. I actually find the quality to be quite nice. Yes.... it may be a little bit creaky..... if you try to TWIST the f*cking thing. But i don't recall any time i had to try to twist or bend my phone. I actually don't notice any kind of creakiness unless i'm INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO. And i've had no complaints about voice quality on the other end... nor have i had any issues with voice quality on my end.

If you have to nitpick about little things like that, that are either a scattered hardware issue which can be corrected with a replacement, or that are just plain f*cking stupid... then i have no idea what to say. You may not necessarily have anything to gain by lying.... but the only thing i can think of is to try to justify your phone hardware downgrade.
[Atrix 4G General] banes:
im happy for you, maybe you should stick to the thunderbolt forums from now on, and maybe even start a "how much you hate atrix and how glad you are that you are on the thunderbolt thread" anything, just dont come back

As you see from the title it is very strange but it is the truth for me . I have both the hd2 and the galaxy tab both running flashplayer 10.3 but when playing 720p videos in the browser it is smooth on hd2 but lags allot on the galaxy tab although the tab has 4times better gpu and more ram .so

1. Is this a compitability issue with the flash player or a hardware limitation on the tab

2. For those who upgraded for the gingerbread can any one test a 720 p video on youtube and tell me if it laggs or not (but with the browser not with the youtube application )

thanks and regards.
[Galaxy Tab General] kevstv:
Have you tired it in Opera Browser? I find Opera handles videos much better than the stock browser..
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
same probemon all browsers in the market (720/1080p flash videos ) lags allot like 5 fbs
[Galaxy Tab General] black_math:
In new Gingerbread ROM I can play 1080p youtube videos fairly smoothly (720p plays perfectly). This was before 10.3 was released as well.

Pre gingerbread I couldn't even play 480p properly.
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
this is a good news :D i though it was hardware limitation , but it sems that it is a problem with 2.2 firmware , more experiencs are welcomed
[Galaxy Tab General] lucian777:
For me 720p and 1080p works with no lag. Check this youtube video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=96WK2LQ4ze8&feature=player_embedded make sure to select 720 or 1080. With the old 2.2 rom there was no way to watch 720p.
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
are you on 2.2 or 2.3
[Galaxy Tab General] lucian777:
Ginger.
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
then the problem is with the froyo only :) , any one with froyo to try this video as falsh player 19.2 and 10.3 adds option to watch 720 /1080 videos
[Galaxy Tab General] lucian777:
Two days ago with froyo and flash 10.2 i was unable to play 720p. With ando 2.3 ive tested both flash 10.2 and 10.3 they are the same regarding hd playback in the browser. One minor issue with flash 10.3 on opera i get some square boxes on the player text. I guess its opera's fault because in the stock browser its ok.
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
thanks for your help , i think i should upgrade to gingerbread now :D
[Galaxy Tab General] lucian777:
Take care with the flashing!
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
After installing gingerbread and flash 10.3 i immediately went to youtube and tested 720p and 1080p videos. Was quite surprised by the smoothness of video playback even at full screen. Samsung browser is also very very smooth now without any lags! I think its the same browser sgs 2 has.
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
the sgs 2 browser supports hardware acceleration , that is why flash videos works good and lag is minimized
[Galaxy Tab General] ryn888:
Really that so cool gingerbread but im kinda scared when it comes to flashing. So im going to wait for kies to upgrade....

Sent via Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
If that's the case then samsung probably enabled hw acceleration on the tab too. I used to have awful lags and slow page rendering on my froyo tabstock browser but 2.3.3 is very different. Smoother and faster. Flash works better too. Plays 1080p and 720p vids smooth and with good framerate.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
I havent had any issues with Flash videos lagging to 5fps. Usually smooth as hell. Both FroYo and Gingerbread.

| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
we are talking about 720/1080 p videos , it seems to lag at most on froyo , if not then you are a luckey man:)
[Galaxy Tab General] peacekeeper05:
yep. when i was on froyo, flash player was very annoying, very low fps and makes my browser lag.

that's why im happy with the gingerbread update. 10.3 made it even better.

1080p sweetness without any framerate drop and does not make the whole browser lag.
[Galaxy Tab General] mauwri37:
I would not say but I think that video in particular has a couple of moments of the problems, but others have no problem in contrast to that video (I have 1080 2.3 gingerbread and everything ok, the video will sometimes maybe
[Galaxy Tab General] lucian777:
Definitely flash is now decoded by gpu, because the browser has no lag what so ever when playing 720 or 1080p videos. Other than that while watching flash videos the cpu is between 600 and 800mhz - this can only prove that the gpu is doing the hard work.

[Blade General] yaku99:
Hi,

I've just reveiced my ZTE Blade yesterday. I have installed some unimportant apps like mortplayer. Today i turned it up with VOL- pressed and my phone is stuck at the white ftm screen(i think everyone know what i mean) and i just can't do anything. Seems like i dont have access to anything. First i tried flashing with clockwork 2.5.1.8 but after typing command in cmd there's just <waiting for device> and thing's going on (no cpu usage by cmd and ram usage is like 'just started'). Then i tried poping out sim card and battery but nothing happend. I think it's probably brick. I digged a little bit and i have posts looking like with the same problem on others board where those people went to Orange and they had replaced their phones. I'll probably do same but first i wanted to ask you. Sry for bad english cause i'm still learning. Please help

Sry for wall of text
[Blade General] badbull99:
Same problem here...

Unfortunately I can't bring it back to Orange because I've ordered my Blade from Orange UK (I am from Austria).

Would be glad if anyone can help :-)
[Blade General] yaku99:
Now screen is discharged i think cause there is no more ftm screen. Now it looks like its turned off and it reacts when i try to switch it on but that's just vibration.
[Blade General] hecatae:
Hold volume - button and connect usb cable you will be back in ftm mode

Hey guys,

could you help me out restoring my settings with titaniumbackup, here's my problem:

I backed up my settings on my previous rom (DHDrom SD), then flashed to cyanogenmod7, but to get rid of all the garbage on my SDcard(like stupid pictures and sounds used in wmapplications that appear in my android gallery and music application) i wiped my SDcard clean (i did backup my SD on my computer). But now is the problem that titaniumbackup obviously can't find the backup file anymore because i wiped my SDcard. So...

Is there a way to fish up my backup file from the SDcardbackup on my computer and get it properly onto my actual SD so that titaniumbackup could use it to restore my settings?

im sorry for being a n:eek:b

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Looking at my own sd card ,I've got a TitaniumBackup folder and a TitaniumBackup-3.7.3.2.zip.

See if you have anything like on your pc backup, restore them to the card,and see if that restores your settings.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xdadJeroen:
nope didnt work:( the only thing i can find with the name titanium in it is an empty folder in the data folder
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tabii:
The default location for Titanium backup is /sdcard/TitaniumBackup. If that folder doesn't exist or is empty, then it seems your backup is lost.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xdadJeroen:
Okay:( and couldn't it be hidden in the root folder somewhere because titaniumbackup always asks for root access? Because I used the free root version of titaniumbackup?

Anyways thanks for answering!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mossywell:
Not sure if this is the best forum (please direct me to the most appropriate one if not), but I am using LeeDroid's GB ROM on HTC desire HD. All lovely expect that I use a pixel density of 160 (cos I like normal not huge icons ;) ). Problem is that in GB this breaks the dialer - the numbers are all on top of each other. With the Froyo ROM it's fine. It's not a LeeDrOid problem. I did try posting over there but it's a more general GB issue.

Third party dialers do work fine, but I prefer the stock one. It's no big deal therefore, just a minor annoyance.

Anyone else noticed this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] precious82:
I upgrade from froyo 2.2 to gingerbread 2.3.3. I used a guide on dkszone (not able to link it on here), but 3/4 of the way it froze and i removed the battery. Big mistake i know, but now i believe even though people say that this phone is unbrickable, I'm starting to believe that i may have a fully bricked my phone.

-The phone does not turn on

-I cannot enter recovery or download mode.

-Tried the 301k resistor, no luck.

-Battery is good, confirmed with digital multimeter.

Basically the phone doesn't respond to any input and odin or keis does not recognize it.

Methods i've tried so far:

1) removed battery, plugged usb to phone, held down volume up/down at the same time and installed battery. Also, tried other variations with no results.

I appreciate any help. i know these topics have been heavily covered. However, i am hoping someone may know a way to force it to turn on.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
From the way you're describing it seems you flashed a .tar without really knowing what you were flashing, so you ended up flashing an i9k boot.bin (primary bootloader) and a sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) which is why your buttons no longer work.

Pretty much, you need to send it in for warranty repair.

[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
As you know, the fact that bootloaders are unlocked leaves an open door for third party firmwares (custom ROMs) to be applied to the phone.

Usually custom ROMs expand the functionalities of the phone and correct some of the software shortcomings. Even though the phone is only recently in the market, there may be some feature wishes and some complaints already.

In short, what features shoud a custom ROM add and what shortcomings should it correct?

I will start:

With the not-so-last gen processor the Play has, it is probably necessary to be able to overclock it.

I would like a minimal ROM (aka without bloatware) as it seems that the booting time of stock ROMs is incredibly high and it is caused by bloatware.

I don't have the phone yet (it's on its way ^^) but I have read things about the brightness setting being too dim and not changeable.

[Xperia Play General] finty:
Doesn't sound right. I usually have over 200 free when the phones idle and no where near full when using FPSE etc.
[Xperia Play General] mastertiti2000:
Disable auto brightness and can set it manual (and increase more brightness).
[Xperia Play General] bitme30:
As mentioned, a bloat free rom. Pure Android port maybe?

There should be another loader than play, something thats able to load psx,snes,mame (single games) and every other games u installed by opening the pad. With the possibility to add/remove stuff after u install it.

Overclock is mentioned. (Only 1500 in quadrant original??) FPS is okay though.

(I hope wolves - sunderland is canceled, so we have something to look forward too.)
