[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Happy_Go_Lucky:
Hi

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab and I installed my first overcome rom a month ago. An update has been released (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074759) and I was wondering:

1) To update do I need to go through the entire process as I did when I first installed the rom?

2) Are bugs typical in releases i.e. should I wait a while to see if further bugs are ironed out?

I am just curious if anybody else can feel my pain. I woke up early on launch day to be 9 in line of 13 for my evo. Loved it since day one. Rooted a few eeks later due to the awesome devs and tutorials on this site. That thing was a tank. The only thing it didnt like was being over 1.19GHz. It ran every rom, every kernel with never so much as a flinch. But the only downside was the broken HDMI port. At the time i didnt care because it was useless. But the shinzul released their app and i had to get it fixed. But no they didnt fix it they had to replace it. Damn. So i unrooted turn it in and got a brand new evo. I turned in my dear sweet launch day evo for a red headed step child. Such a finicky lil *****. nothing over 1.15 please. or and only certain kernels work. Solid roms on my other phone rebooted randomly on this one. Damn you cost of repair vs cost of new phone principal. Well i just had to vent sitting here with my phone finally comfortable and running quite smoothly after weeks of training.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I always demand a new device, non-refurbished.

It's not to be an asshole, it's because I've had a 100% failure yet [generally within a month] of every replacement refurbished device I've received.
[EVO 4G General] noname580:
I wished they just fixed the port on my phone. couldnt take more than a half hour with the good tech and proper parts.
[EVO 4G General] bjrmd:
After a broken usb on her original phone my wife had to get a refurb. They refused to give her a new. Went through 2 refurbs for white blotches on screen (obviously no quality control) and the last one acted weird. Would work fine except locked up using our airave for data(not voice). After many hrs on phone and arguing they still would not give her a new phone--just a refurb. I took matters into my own hands and rooted and flashed some new software and it appears to be ok now. So probably was a bad flash from the support center.

My impression: the refurbs are not really brought back to factory standard either hardware or software. Sprint has awful quality control and poor after purchase support. The question is if the others companies are any better.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
ive asked and asked and asked ... even demanded a NEW evo never get one :(

gotta have the screen replaced on the one i have now
[EVO 4G General] ndoggfromhell:
My roommate is on her 5th HTC Droid Eris and they have all been just refurbs. They usually last 5 weeks. Either the trackball fails, the power port stops working, or the mic gives out. She's not gentle with the phone, but she's no worse than I am with the Evo. Never had a problem with mine (knocks on wood) I'm very happy with my beast.
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
The ideas of all these refurbs just sucks. Policy used to be 3 bad refurbs and you could get a new device. But with all the handcuffs put on AS reps, it seems pretty hard to get.

After issues with my TP they sent me a brand new TP2. The guy literally gave it to me. My account was billed $599 and credited back $599, plus I got to keep my original TP. Which I later got exchanged for a refurb TP2. Seems those days are gonzo.
[EVO 4G General] /bin/bash:
This thread is not very encouraging, as I am now waiting for the delivery of my "refurbed" evo from Sprint... Crossing my fingers on this, but I have a feeling its going to be messed up just like my current one (which overheats and boot loops into oblivion.)
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
New ones aren't any better. Mine has a ****ty power, and volume buttons. The power button you need fingernails to push (which I don't have). Sometimes the volume up and/or down will stick causing the phone to turn all the way up or all the way down. I love HTC but their quality control sucks. This phone I have now wouldn't have even made it as a test phone for Apple.
[EVO 4G General] noname580:
Before i rooted it the phone was fine. It has more to do with rooting and the aftermath. Launch day evo flawless on the software after root, new evo finicky about the certain settings and roms

if i put those in to the evo dont that make it 1x settings or will that still be as 3g data

Once you program those codes you then do a complete factory reset with some ## code I don't remember off the top of my head. Once it reboots the phone should provision itself and then you can do an update of prl and whatnot. You should have 3G now. use hxxp://mm.myboostmobile.com for mms functionality.

Don't you think that any reasonable person would have taken the phone back if it came out of box like this?

Did I click on any questionable links in fb or web??? does it make a difference? I still need to get rid of it. It isn't a self replicating virus you dufuss. Its a file.

Wow... this guy is a HUGE BAG OF DICKS!!! I don't post much, and I had a small issue with something that fkn was more than happy to reply with his knowledge and assistance.

This reminds me of many many years ago while working for a call center. Stupid user calls and gives you the worst description possible. Then you wind up having to write a thesis in order to get the information you need because they can't even describe the issue. At least they weren't trying to make changes to the system, they were just using it b/c they were smart enough not to try and modify something they know jack about.

The problem here is ESTO (Equipment Superior To User)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
So before you ask to search, which I have done but cannot come up with anything conclusive. This is perhaps the funky cool openness of Android that there are many solutions out there. If you could please share some of your opinions or experiences, it would be greatly appreciated. I am looking forward to the SGS II quite soon. :)

1) iTunes.... As the iPhone utilizes iTunes for the syncing of Apps, Music, Photos, Books and so on, my question is that what is a solution for Android Devices (SGS II) with Apps? Is there a method of backing up the APK files or apps to the computer that can be used at a later time (ADB is one but would like GUI). iTunes backs up download IPA files from phone to PC, and you can select to install them at any given time. iTunes also updates the purchased IPA's without the need of a handset being available.

I ask this question to limit the need to download each app every time I update a firmware. (Bandwidth in India isnt the best and can take time getting a 200MB Game)

2) DoubleTwist seems like a good solution, but does it sync with the stock Music app or requires the DoubleTwist app to play music? I can only assume that Kies will do the needful, but what about all the playlists already built on iTunes? Any Alternatives?

3) SD Card... So it may seem that this can be utilized for everything which includes backups and storage, while updating firmwares, does it require it to be removed so it does not corrupt any data during the update process?

4) Freezing Apps... Does this basically mean that the app exists but all of the files and dependencies associated with it are ignored and not used? Why not just uninstall or delete?

5) ODIN / Rooting... If you could direct me to any links you may have which give good info on the usage, warnings, requirements... Would appreciate it.

6) iOS SMS DB to Android? Do all the SMS Apps on the Android use the same principles and formats? I have read that the SMS DB (which I have extracted) can be formatted via CSV and imported on Android OS. Any guides please and if I import it, is it a central location that it is stored where any SMS app from the Android Market can use that DB or does it create its own DB.

Thats all I can come up with. Anticipating for some great advice and words of caution.

Thanks All.

No but a removal of sim and sd card means no trouble from them .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slice77:
1) +1 for Titanium Backup. By far the easiest way to backup files. Most file explorers will allow you to manually copy the apk files out of the apps directory.

2) If you want, you can use DoubleTwist for only the wifi syncing. The music that it imports will be accessible by any app, including the stock music player.

4) Freezing an app is a "trial uninstall" of sorts. It will disable it as far as the user is concerned, but leaves the data there if you want to unfreeze it later. It doesn't require a reinstall, and you'll keep your data for the app.

5) There is a quick rundown of Odin and rooting in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076806&page=4
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvmalik:
Thanks Slice.

Let me see if I got this correct. The APK file is like an IPA file consisting of the application data. Backing this up will back up the app?

Upgrading a firmware leaves the app data and app there or deletes it?

Thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Rob116:
To start off: I'm using an Inspire 4g, Android Revolution 5.1.4 with the included kernel and radio. I've looked all over xda, and I've yet to find any decisive, hard evidence that setCPU screenoff and "battery saver" profiles do anything to save battery life. Theoretically, I don't see any reason to think that cranking the cycle rate all the way down will save battery, as this just forces the processor to work harder for longer. Nonetheless, I imagined that some reduction in the form of a screen off profile would be beneficial, and I've been looking for the "sweet spot" for a few days now. However, so far, my anecdotal experience tracking currentwidget logs with screen off and wifi on (using Apache's smartass scaling) has been that, while the "lows" are lower when I set profiles to drop the cycle rate with moderate severity, there is greater variability in current draw, with many more "high extremes" (e.g. in the 100-250 range - even on "powersaver" scaling). When I set it and forget it at or slightly below stock, it doesn't get as low, but the variability is greatly reduced, leading me to imagine that the overall battery savings are greater. So far, all I think I've shown to myself is that cranking it below a certain level is useless, and it may yet be worthwhile to keep screenoff profiles within a higher middle range. However, I do have to wonder if the variability I'm seeing when running profiles (vs. one, manually adjusted flat rate) doesn't have something to do with the way they are implemented in setCPU.

Anyone out there with real, definitive proof that setcpu profiles actually work? I've seen lots of speculation and lots of "recommendation" but no proof as of yet. Not a programmer, just a social scientist with too much time on his hands. Any info/thoughts would be appreciated. I'll keep messing around and see what I find.

Anyone else try out these slide-out browser quick controls?

I 'love' them. I turned them on a few days after getting the tab and havent looked back.

How about you?

To enable this feature for the stock browser go to settings - labs - quick controls and make sure the box it ticked. Now in the browser, slide in from the side and a wheel of sorts will pop out with all your controls.

Very slick feature.

[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Settings in the browser, not general setting on the tablet. Top right corner in the browser.
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
I think it actually comes enabled by default on the Xoom; needless to say it was refreshing to see when I first started using the tablet. Using the menu in the upper right hand corner is not as user friendly.

The only thing I have noticed is that it is difficult to initiate controls with the acer case, because the edge comes right up to the screen. I usually have to attempt the gesture a couple of times in order for the controls to come up.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I've never had that problem. Simply slide your finger 'into' the screen, from the bezel. Works like a charm every time and I love how it appears at the exact position your finger made the sliding motion into the page, rather than a single static location.

If I had one feature request, it would be 1 more button you could use to hold it as a handle to slide the wheel up or down the side, and tap it to pin it or unpin it.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
