[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I would say I am an average user, and my total usage this month I estimate at 2.5GB data/2.5GB WiFi. I could give you accurate numbers, but I wipe my phone so often to try the wonderful things our devs do for us that my counters reset all the time.

My usage on WiFi is primarily downloading and updating applications after a clean wipe. I don't surf a whole lot, but was surprised when I saw how much usage can jump while surfing.

All in all 500MB per month is in my mind for "emergency" use only, as you could very easily hit that limit with what might be considered minimal usage. If I were you I would go with the 1Gb plan at a minimum if it is available.
[Atrix 4G General] T39andcounting:
I use my phone for email, twitter and light Internet when out and about, occasionally teathering to my laptop, and I'm told by orange I've not gone over about 400mb in the last year. If you stream a lot of video or music then I'd say you'd need more than 500. Some plans also come with BT Openzone so might be worth getting that to use on hotspots.
[Atrix 4G General] StickyGeko:
just curious... how do you find the download speed on orange? iv not canx my orange contract yet but have gone to o2... but the signals sooo poor versus orange im looking to upgrade on orange and theres only 2 phones i like... the sgs2 which i have... but very poor battery and drops signal when you pick up the phone or the atrix
[Atrix 4G General] T39andcounting:
Download speed seems fine. Occasionally data drops for no reason, but soon seems to come back. No better or worse than any other network from what I can see, just depends on the reception in your area. Also, I've had really good experiences with Orange phone insurance in the past. Seems cheaper than other networks and is a next day replacement phone service (even after I dropped mine in the sea!).
[Atrix 4G General] CodeMonkey:
I switched from an unlimited internet tariff on O2 (N1) to the Panther 35 (750 mb) last week. I'd been tracking my monthly usage as averaging about 400mb per month for the last 4 / 5 months in expectation of shifting tariffs &/or network this year..
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
500mb is enough for browsing and some social network but i would avoid streaming anything including youtube for the first month or so to see how much you use. download a app call 3G watchdog, it will monitor your data usage.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
First, you should post this on general section, ot developers forum. Just wipe all then reflash your favorite 2.2 SBF, and never try to update bootmenu in CM7 again, since it already have bootmenu.
[Defy Android Development] arthurlage:
eae cara!

sorry for posting at the wrong place.

I wiped all and tried to flash many 2.2 roms as I sayd, but Im unable to flash. Only get. failed flashing process
[Defy Android Development] arthurlage:
OK, I solved my problem! I was not beeing able to flash another room because I was using RSD 4.6 instead RSD4.9.

But when I was flashing the ROM with RSD 4.9, my battery died. And I got code error.

So I Used Mcgyver showed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892026

to solve the baterry problem!

And my defy went back to life. almost perfect. now the touch screen is not working.
[Defy Android Development] antony.ps:
If you are from Brazil, just flash the apropriate 2.2 SBF (there's a SBF for VIVO, TIM, CLARO and a Retail version) and see if the problem persists. If yes, send it to warranty :)
[Defy Android Development] arthurlage:
I wiped all data and my touch it´s back to work!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MordyT:
Well, I get to join the ranks of the stupid. Ah well.

The objective: To "Re-build" a nandroid backup.

The cause: I wanted to use the new Netflix app, so I nandroided my Evil D 0.32 DHD ROM, downloaded Virtuous Fusion, went into recovery, and like the instructions said, wiped everything. In my tired state, I even did the SD card. Once done, I began to try to flash the new ROM, but could not find the zip. Cursing like a drunken sailor for forgetting to copy the zip file, I mounted the SD Card and my horror grew as I saw it was blank. Wiped.

Since then: I swapped my card with a spare, flashed a ROM, and began a recovery on the card. I got all 5 nandroids from the card back (at least I think I did)... but...

The issue: Each of the folder I recovered has 6 files inside: .android_secure, boot, cache, data, nandroid, recovery, and system. I rebooted into recovery, and tryto flash one. OFC, since they are no longer zips, it failed.

So I zipped one, and it fails as well. No error message just:

CWM Recovery .0.2.4

--Installing /sdcard/Nand1.zip

Finding Update Package

Opening update package

Installing Update

Installation aborted.

Root with gfree and eng hboot.

Ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MordyT:
Just a quick bump and a status update...

Not sure why I was trying to flash backup when I needed to restore...

Anyways, I used the correct menu, restored a backup...

Good news is that 2 of the 5 backups restored no issue. Of the 3 dead ones, 1 was a stock backup, so I don't care about it. However, one of the other 2 is what I needed. (Meaning, the 2 that restored were old, and of the three ones that would not for MD5 issues, one I needed.)

So the question changes.

The 5 nandroids: 1 was stock, 4 were the same ROM, just taken at different points in time.

The reason 2 of them won't restore is failed MD5, which just means 1 byte (or more) has changed.

From what I know, the 6 files - .android_secure, boot, cache, data, nandroid, recovery, and system - all point to certain parts of the phone.

.android_secure - has to do with market from what I know.

cache - won't kill the phone if this is corrupt, cache will just rebuild.

data - the all important file. Your personal data is stored here. Apps, settings, etc.

nandroid - related to md5 and such? Not needed for apps/data

recovery - recovery image

system - the rom itself.

Now, if I am correct, if I restore a working nandroid, and then just the data from a dead nandroid, as long as the ROM was the same between the 2 of them, I should be golden?

right? And issues with this?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MordyT:
There are many apps which I no longer have a apk for that version (Soundhound? New version has permissions I don't want to give!) that I had there. And my TB backup was on the card as well...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MordyT:
So, anyone know if/how? In short: If I have a damaged nandroid and working nandroid of the same ROM, can I restore the data from the bad one to the good and how?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbloom:
If you run an md5 of the data img you want, place that in the md5 file (included in the backup folder) it should restore properly. I've been in the same situation as you and that's what I did to fix it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
My mobile data works, but when I went to "quick settings", a freeware apk from the market to adjust settings all on one screen, I can turn mobile data on or off because it's grayed out-- and says "no apn configured".

Well, I turn off wifi and I'm driving around, and wireless data works, so something must be configured. This is a clean flash of RG 1.6 and all I entered was my home wifi data.

But if mobile data works, why does it claim I dont have an APN configured? In RG, I picked T-Mobile as my carrier (havent gone into those settings before since everything just worked after then flash). What else do I need to put in, and where?

Thanks

PS- my wife's MT4G is unrooted--stock 2.2.1. Can I use the APN backup program free on market to back hers up, and then restore the APN to mine Will it know where to put it if I"m running Royal Ginger instead of Stock?

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Just so you know, on the theme you ported from my collection, it is made for Voice Input versions of Swype, and the layout on the keyboard for those versions as opposed to the Non-Voice Input versions is slightly different. There is a slight shift to the side of the keys, which causes a slightly wonky key-press-area in relation to the glow.png that appears when you press a key. There is also a distortion where the Microphone image normally would go for the voice input, but since it is not there in the versions that you use, this also cause a bit of a distortion. the solution is rather annoying, but if you really wanna tweak it, you need to take an original version of the Swype images, and line the current keys up with the original.

Hope that helps.

Been trying to get Unknown Sources on my phone for the better part of 2 weeks. Have tried everything I can find on google, tried SuperOneClick, and tried the guide on here at least 10-15 times. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=867637

There are a few replies in the guide i just linked where people are having the EXACT same errors I am but said it was fixed by manually running the script...

I know NOTHING about scripting and have no clue what it means to manually run a script. Anybody know another way to do it or can anybody explain to me how to manually run the script?

I know this is a highly noob question but i'm out of choices. As I said I've done EVERYTHING i know how. Been working to the point that I now hate this phone.
[Flipside General] terriniak:
When the poster mentioned running it manually they were talking about using adb to push the altered files to the correct location. That's what I had to do to get it working since the script didn't execute properly.

you have to take the settings.db files out of the zip at the end of the first post and put them in the same directory as your adb.exe (depending on your OS this could be in a few locations). Note you don't want to push the same settings.db to both locations, there are 2 files. The file structure of the zip file matches that of the phone so you just need to drill down into the zip file to find the right files.

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/

adb push settings.db

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
What's going wrong?

If you just want the stock rom, but still be rooted you can either a) restore from your nandroid backup, assuming you made one; or b) flash the stock rooted rom.

If you want to unroot, you need to flash the s-on zip in recovery, then run the RUU from your computer or flash a PC36IMG of the RUU through the bootloader.

I'll elaborate more when you tell me what you've done so far and what you're trying to achieve - stock rooted or unrooted.

(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Download the latest stock rom. Can be found at shipped-roms.com, or in the MANY stickies and threads here. Place the zip on your sd card, along with the s-on tool.

Reboot to recovery, flash s-on, then flash stock rom zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Go to here and flash any one of the listed roms. These are all of the roms that came shipped with the HTC EVO. I suggest you download the any of the ones with PC36IMG in the file name because they can be flashed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccp818:
I wouldnt mind being rooted i just want my stock rom back
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Make sure that in your attempts to go back to stock, you didn't go s-on. Boot into the bootloader and see if it says s-on or s-off at the top. You can do this by holding the volume down button and power button simultaneously until the phone turns on (you must have the phone turned off first). You'll see a white screen with skating Androids.

If you're s-on, you'll need to run an RUU from your computer or flash a PC36IMG of the RUU through the bootloader in order to get back to stock.

If you're s-off (still rooted/nand unlocked) then you can flash the rooted stock rom that I'll link you to. Download the rom and put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). Boot into the bootloader using the directions I gave earlier. Then, using the volume buttons to navigate, highlight recovery and then press the power button to select it. Assuming you're using ClockworkMod Recovery, choose wipe cache, factory reset (it may say something else like wipe data, you should know which one though) and then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. After you've done all three of those, choose install zip from SD card. It's fastest to press the volume up button which will take you to the end of the list - all of your zips will be at the bottom. Highlight the file you just downloaded and press power. Choose yes from the list then let it run its course. When it finishes, select reboot and you will be back on stock.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxracinggirl0209:
i took a whole day trying to figure out how to unroot mine, and i finally got it.

you have to download "unrevoked s-on" put it on your sd card and flash it.

then you have to know which radio your running, so you can know which pc36img to put on your sd card, so when you put it into bootloader it will find it, and run through the checking process, then it will let you apply the update and you will be unrooted.

which radio are you running, and i can help you find which pc36img you need to be using.

Hi All,

i would like to customize the "Froyo Optimum v3a for Optimus" ROM for my purposes.

more precisely i would like to throw most of system app out as i did it on "Pro Celestial v2" for my Vodafone 845 (Huawei 8120).

Therefore i nede a ROM with following structure:

META-INF (directory)

system (directory)

boot.img

like update-cm-7.0.3-GT540-MUR4IK-signed.zip

or "Pro Celestial v2"

but all i can find for "Froyo Optimum v3a for Optimus" is:

1. Fastboot

boot.img 5MB

system.img 129,5MB

or

2. Recovery

.android_secure.img ?

boot.img 5MB

cache.img 14.7MB

data.img 2.2MB

nandroid.md5 222 B

recovery.img 5M

system.img 129,5MB

Do i get something wrong? is there any update Version of " "Froyo Optimum v3a for Optimus""
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
No the dev only released versions for recovery as a backup but not as an update signed, but what you what you can do if you really need to unpack the system.img is the assembling tools which i made a how-to posted in my thread FAQ | LG GT540 Reference thread, the link is in my signature.

thx a lot veronica 4 your hint and tut.

unfortunately i cannot post to dev thread as am new one.

do you think it would be to much to ask the devs to release the singed update file?

am i the only one who need it?

i have also tried to re-assemble the system.img with file from your thread with no luck.

then i googled (is it brave?) and found this one:

i took the prebiuld file and it worked fine for me.
[GT540 Optimus General] sugarray21:
plz someone answer my questions:

i need a phone with gsm/umts and wlan with only one app (our product) running on it.

no calling, browsing, sms, mms etc.

so i took: [ROM][Gingerbread] 2.3.4 | CyanogenMod 7 | SwiftDroid (v2.0 M4)| Mur4ik

and removed a lot of apps i think we dont need.

here is the list of remaining apps:

1.My first question is: can i remove more apps, without making the system unstable?

Here the the list of all apps, with my notes:

spreadsheets.google.com/pub?hl=en&hl=en&key=0Avd9U1HjwIbSdHRicHZ3cGJoZEhiU1ZLc2hpNnhZYlE&single=true&gid=0&output=html

2.how to deploy it on more then one phone easy?

now im singing the update, transfer it per usb and update it via recovery modus.

im planning to make a recovery with all changes that i make (from CyanogenMod recovery modus(it has to be installled first) ) and then to recover it on other phones.

is this the only one scenario? how to make it easier like fastboot?

i also tried to make (to assemble) system.img from my update/system folder with mkfs.yaffs2 but after i flashed it on the phone it doesn't boot to the os.
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
Hello if you want a froyo version then Mu4ik's little brother version might be your choice but im not sure if it has update signed format you need.

About what to remove safetly if you want a really light phone with only apps and services that you need, you should pm a dev like Mur4ik or any other because apart of that you see in system/app there are libs and other files that comes with some applications like email.apk that are heavy and you probably wont need, apart of that if you dont want anyone to install any other app then its a bit more complex you can unintall market or beven block it but there is another way to install apps too by copying to the sdcard and installing it so...

About to your second question the best you could deploy it to other phones is by recovery because its directly from the phone , with fastboot you need the phisical machine with fastboot working to flash the rom to the phones. So after you're done modifying the rom make a full backup by recovery and copy the backup folder to your pc, then copy it to sdcard/clockwork/backup/ in another phone, flash it and so and so

[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
if you want to make a fastboot version just take the system.img and boot.img from a recovery backup they work in fastboot mode ;)
