[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.G.:
Probably nothing. Apps and SMS are backed up, not synced. Besides Kies doesn't do it anyway.

I just fired up Kies to see what is synced:

1) Contacts (with Outlook)

2) Calendar (with Outlook)

3) Memos (with Outlook)

4) Music

5) Pictures (automatic resolution may be optimized for phone)

6) Videos (automatic conversion to supported formats possible)

7) Podcasts

You may also import/export these.

Since you have all these covered already, you really miss nothing by not using Kies.

The last remaining reason for using Kies and not just keeping it installed is being able to officially flash your phone with new firmware without forfeiting the warranty. If you would like to flash any custom ROM you want, then there really is no reason to use Kies.

Otherwise you may want to see whether you can make it run.

In any case you will need Kies for flashing with Odin, so you may want to reinstall it, if you are planning to flash new ROMs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /bin/bash:
I have always had random reboots with the phone, however they were mostly infrequent.

Fastforward to yesterday, I was running the latest stable version of CM7 (7.0.3.1 or something to that effect). Everything was working out okay, and so I decided to flash the latest WiMAX and Radio updates. First I did the WiMAX, everything went fine and the phone rebooted and I used it without issue for a couple hours. At this point I flashed the latest radio from Caulkin's thread. After rebooting, the phone makes it through the splash screen, and into the rom splash screen, then once actually booting the rom it boot loops. If I get lucky, and manage to turn the phone into Airplane mode before the boot loop, I can prevent it from occurring.

So I have tried to re-download and reflash this version and the last version of the radio many times, without success in stopping the boot loops. I have reflashed the ROM as well as gone back into old Sense nandroid backups and the problem persists. I have flashed the FORMAT_ALL.zip file and the problem still persists! I have tried to update PRL and Profile, and the problem still persists!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Do the following in order:

1. Download and flash the PC36IMG.zip for amon RA v2.3 from the bootloader screen. You can download it from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

2. After amon RA is flashed, connect your device to your computer, reboot into your new recovery, select the MS-USB option and copy a freshly downloaded radio, PRI and NV over to your SD card. Do not use the combo zip. This is also a good time to transfer a freshly downloaded stock rom. You can get the radio stuff from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485 and the rooted stock odexed rom from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=874251

3. After you've transferred the above items over to your SD card, select the MS-USB option again to unmount your card.

4. Go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it except the SD card itself. Afterwards, do not reboot.

5. Go to the flash menu and flash the PRI. Be patient. When it is complete, you will automatically reboot into recovery and see the words "clearing cache". Go to the wipe menu and wipe the dalvik. Afterwards, flash the radio and NV. Remember to wipe the dalvik between flashes.

6. Flash the rom. Do not flash any kernels, themes or mods. Afterwards, reboot. Be patient because the initial boot will take a while. When you've entered your homescreen, update your profile in the settings menu. If all went well and no reboots, go into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and then create a nandroid backup. After that, if you want to flash CM7, wipe Everything in the wipe menu except the SD card and flash it. Hopefully, this will work for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /bin/bash:
I followed each of your instructions without success. Before I could even set up the phone fully, it rebooted. But this did help lead to a new theory I have. It didn't reboot until I got to the "location" settings, once I hit next allowing Google to use location settings it rebooted. So after 5 or 6 boot loops I managed to get back in to the OS long enough to turn off location settings. For the last 30 minutes or so I haven't had a reboot as long as the GPS and other location methods are off. Just a theory, we'll see if something changes... Meanwhile I wonder what the real issue is. *Edit* Scratch that, just boot looped.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Very interesting, indeed. Good catch, by the way..:)....Since you are using CM7, you may have to apply a GPS fix of some sort. Does the smell thing occur with other AOSP roms like Salvage-Mod? What about Sense-based roms?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You're installing it fresh, with the gapps, correct. And it only reboots when you use the location settings?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /bin/bash:
I haven't put CM back on the device, as directed above I put on a stock rooted rom to "bug track", so gapps is installed, yes, but by default in Sense / HTC.

From the last two hours or so it still reboots after location settings are off, but less frequently than if they are on. Perhaps this is a heat issue? The more radios and things on the quicker it overheats into bootloop?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] /bin/bash:
Also, stressing the phone in any way, such as running linpack, triggers a reboot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
Running Das BAMF 1.6.2, but this occured before the rom, so I know it's not the rom. I set the Update Schedule to "Once a Day", but it syncs more like every hour.

Seems like everytime I wake up my Thunderbolt from screen lock, Facebook for HTC Sense wants to sync. None of the others have this syncig problem (Google, Android Facebook).

Is there a fix for this?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gti3358:
Did you uninstall Friend Stream? I did once and my sync would go on for days. I think I have the .apk around if you need it. Good luck!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontCome2MyHouse:
I need to uninstall Friend Stream? Is it safe to do so?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giantniz:
No, they're saying if you did uninstall Friend Stream that could be causing it to sync too often.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gti3358:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klloyd:
Ok, I have searched high and low, and found nothing, I want my good old android stock keyboard in gingerbread. I have found a hundred ways of putting the gb one on everything, even a psp, but not the other way around. Can someone build an apk, or a zip to do this? I am having such trouble getting use to the gb keyboard.

So, im asking for the old default androind keyboard in the new 2.3.X

Thank you
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
I'm not understanding. Stock is there for me. Imputed method>gingerbread. Keyboard=stock
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I think he means the keyboard that was in 2.1 (or 2.2).

Correct me if I'm wrong OP.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klloyd:
Yes, the one on 2.1 and 2.2. I hate this gb one, space bar is so small!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I'm thinking you could always pull it out of the 2.2 Froyo ROM zip that is around here.

Should be in system/app (I think).

You can use 7zip to pull it directly as a zip instead of unzziping, getting it and rezipping.

Once you got it, just put it on your sd card and install.

I can't promise it will work cause the framework is different on GB ROMs but it's worth a try. The worse you'll get is a "Can't install error".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klloyd:
Oh, I got it. And it even installs. But I don't know where it goes, Or where supposed to go in gb. Cause it didn't show up in the settings section.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
It should install in system/app

I believe you should be able to change it under settings -> local and text.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klloyd:
It's trying to put files in /meta-inf, system/app and system/ lib. it says its installing, but i show no evidence of it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Que?

what is trying to put files where?

meta-inf is in cwm zip files, it's the flashing instructions for cwm? There is no folder on the phone called that.

I'm confused

Lets start over shall we,

What you have to do is open the zip, either unzip with native windows tools or just open the archive in 7zip. Take out the keyboard apk you want out of /system/app and the corresponding lib file in /system/lib. Put those in the same folders on the phone, either push them with adb or drop them in with root explorer, and reboot.

Still no guarantee it'll quirk on gingerbread though...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klloyd:
The above mentioned directory is the folders in the zip file that when opened it will write to on extraction. On earlier roms, 2.2.x, i flashed it via cw as an update.zip. Apparently this doesn't work with 2.3.x. Do i have a file that is really old?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
What, kernel are you using?

talon, has cwm3 and needs an edify script not amend like cwm 2.5

Just try it manually like a described.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klloyd:
Ok, ill give it a shot, see what i can.do with it manually .
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klloyd:
Btw, kernel is talon i think, what ever continuum comes with.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
The hunt continues...

I wanted to take a quick poll to see if perhaps Bluetooth might be causing some of the reboots/freezes we've been experiencing?

If you do use bluetooth can you please reply with what profiles? i.e. Headset, A2DP (stereo), computer, other phones, etc. Also do you leave it on all the time or turn it on/off as needed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Minker17:
I've never used bluetooth on my phone and still get reboots/freezes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I don't understand why people would keep a non-working phone. Swap the thing out. Trust me, you will save yourself a ton of misery. Trying to fix a broken phone through patches and tricks is pointless. Swap it out!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I agree if it was consistent. As I said, I was on a recent trip abroad and used my G2X extensively (same app/software load) and it ran flawlessly for 3 days straight. It only rebooted/froze when I was back home!!

I actually used it even more than normal on this trip including the following:

- Constant wifi calling and low signal wifi APs, jumping from Wifi AP to Wifi AP

- Take about 20 minutes total of 1080p videos

- Tons of pictures including different modes

- Lots of browsing, games, apps use

- Tons of texting

- Quite a bit of phone calls

It handled it perfectly - only thing I didn't turn on during this time was Bluetooth. While when I'm at home I use BT quite extensively.

The point is, if my phone rebooted every few hours or even every day no matter what, I'd swap it in a heartbeat but this inconsistency makes it seem it's a software bug and not so much a hardware bug.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
+1 :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
If it is trully software related, have you made a backup and tried other ROMs? Just a thought.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deymayor:
Transferred an MP3 from my PC to my tablet and the sound is just way off, even with volume at mid level. The distortion is really bad and i tried it on my PC and tablet using different headphones. Is this a known issue and is there an update to resolve this now?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
Yea I don't know if this just me or others r having this issue too, but my speakers are bad too and I don't like the audio fidelity out of them. Also my right speaker is louder than the left:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deymayor:
it's weird that movie sounds are great but somehow MP3 is just bad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
that's one thing i noticed when comparing it with the xoom is that the tf distorts at lower volumes, the treble is set too high and it doesn't get as loud as the xoom... plus the right speaker is louder than the left.

some people said they have no problems so i could be a defect... i had on 2 units i had... quality control is not a strong point with the tf.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ELTinos:
For most users the right speaker seems to be louder, hopefully that'll be fixed in a next fota.

But about the quality, is it really bad/not listenable or is it just low quality? Mine are fine for game-sounds but on such a tablet I don't expect perfect sound that fills the room like you're in a concert hall. Especially not since we always want the tablet to be lighter and thinner, you can't expect great and impressive speakers.

To compare with the iPad2 btw, the sound quality is alike.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Srikar_NBK:
For me the quality is low/bad. I'm playing an online movie trailer on my captivate n transformer. The captivate sound fidelity is way better :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shakib:
I notice this as well, very low volume coming out of them
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
so either the ipad 2 sound is worse than ipad 1 or your tf is better than the 2 tf's i've tested. the xoom was close to the ipad's sound, the tf isn't even close.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
Hmm... I wonder if something is wrong with mine then.

My Transformer sounds okay, but my iPad 2 sounds WAY better.

Much clearer, less muted, more defined sound in games and music.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
could be that he perceives the stereo sound as better vs mono. as sound quality goes, the ipad better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ELTinos:
When I have my friends iPad2 again I'll try to do a more precise comparison with the same 320kbps cbr song playing on both devices and analyze the different levels and distortion, but in my previous experience here was not such a big difference.

Ps. Wow, using the quick reply text area is extremely buggy and laggy with the onscreen keyboard. The text pointer is also a few centimeters before the actual place. Anybody else noticed this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
yeah. typing here is really bad wiht the stock keyboard. i've started using thumb keyboard and it's a bit less laggy. the dock is even better.

i've read that 3.1 takes care of some of the lag problems here. hopefully we'll get it soon... and a fix for the messed up speaker balance.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ELTinos:
FYI, I did a little test with the same song on TF and iPad2 with Spotify Mobile (160kbps ogg vorbis). With iOS i'm not exactly how well the conversion is from mp3 to the needed audio format so that's why the Spotify.

But I have to admit, if you pay close attention you can hear that the sound on the iPad2 has a more realistic display of mid-range and is also a bit heavier on the bass. They both are bad on the higher frequency and as soon as you turn the volume up they immediately start squealing and 'chirping'. To conclude, the speakers on both the devices are no hifi-speakers and the iPad2 is slightly better...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marcmarshall:
Speakers are bad on mine also. Almost inaudible at full volume and bad quality. Sound actually seems better off of my dinc. You know the old joke- the food was terrible but at least the portions were big. Well the sound is bad but at least you can't hear it.

Still love this thing though :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tone503773:
I returned my tf101 because the right speaker just stopped working.
