I flashed my phone to gingerbread with odin when it was only 60% charged.. I did notice that my battery drains more quickly now, but is that related to the odin flash?

I installed battery calibration app and hope that solves the issue, but was it "dangerous" flashing with only 60% full? I read somewhere it should be fully charged before flashing

its not odin, people only say flash with a full battery so your phone don't die in the flashing process and brick it.

takes a few attempts to do a battery calibration, try it again, if its still a problem change rom

I've been using my phone to purchase stuffs online lately and my credit card info has been stolen and used by an ass to buy a pair of freaking shoes in different state.

I don't mean disrespect any of the devs here because my card's info might be stolen a long time before it is used. It is just a safety concern.
[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
just a thought, but maybe you shouldnt be purchasing stuff with your credit cards on your phone. And if you absolutely must make sure the website is HTTPS but in either case its not terribly secure doing anything over a large wireless networks, too many relays too many places where data could be mined.

also if you must use your credit cards on your phone set it up through paypal where you have a bit more recourse and more security.

http://www.talkandroid.com/28577-boost-your-4g-wimax-signal-in-samsung-epic-4g/

The signal strength so far in my Nexus S 4g has been horrible!!! Constant wimax drop-offs and many times it stuck between the 3g/4g icons....I've used this method on my Evo and Epic and both worked perfectly but now I'm a Nexus S owner and want to do the same thing. The issue I'm having is on the Nexus once I'm into the data programming area I can't find were to edit the Wimax settings. Maybe someone out there can help me with this????

There has got to be a way to adjust the signal strength like you can do on the epic & evo?????

Thanks in advance

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
I really didn't think i had this issue til yesterday. Where i used to have a bar of 3G with my my epic, i now have a bar or 2 1x with my NS4G. I used to have 1 bar 4G at work with my Epic, now I can't get it to connect from sitting at my desk.

IMPORTANT HERE: My phone died at 6pm yesterday, i left it off and charged it til 8pm. WELL, my boss sent me a text message during those 2 hours telling me to come into work today a couple hours early... never got the message when i turned my phone back on (and i came in late for work today). When my boss didn't believe me, i turned my phone off, had him send me a text, waited a couple mins then turned my phone back on, and what do ya know, didn't get the message. This is a problem, cuz with my Epic I would recieve any messages sent to me when i turned my phone back on.

I really hope these are radio issues that will be released in an update near in the future.

I know we have 30days or something to return our phones, but I'm gunna hold out, i have faith there will be an update coming fixing some of these quirks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thacoolestnerd:
I'm thinking the same thing I'm going to hold out until google updates the radio which I hope is soon. I really wish they hadn't blocked editing the wimax settings boosting the wimax signal really helped on my evo

Normally I use mass storage mode because I don't have Kies installed.

It showed 100%, I disconnected in Kies mode and it shows 97%.

I think that is as close as it can get to 100%?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Getinaf:
You can only get to 97% because the phone's software stops you from overcharging the battery, thus improving the battery life. Don't be silly and try and get to 100%, you'll only be hurting your battery and you'll notice the phone get very hot.

It only loads to 99% if you neither enable mass storage mode nor enable kies mode.

Just plug it in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinx02:
Yes its normal, that you're only at 96%-99% after full charge, this is because of the android battery management!

And after wiping youre battery stats, you need a few charge cycles (charge full and then use youre phone till it goes off and charge again full) to recalibrate the battery!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polarfuchs:
Ok,

but even then I get 85% when mass storage or kies mode is enabled.

I currently have a super-old Blackberry 8900 that I use as a cellphone. I also have a jailbroken iPod Touch 4G.

I am very familiar with jailbreaking Apple products, and am fairly competent at all things electronic, but I have never owned a Android before. I am looking at upgrading my Blackberry to a T-Mobile G2x, but I had a few questions:

1) What is the best way to root a droid, specifically the G2x? Are there differences, advantages, disadvantages of different methods, or do they all lead me to the same place?

2) For jailbroken Apple products, there is Cydia. Is there anything similar for Android?

3) Is there a difference between a jailbroken iPhone and a rooted Android? Are they functionally similar and are simply two different words for the same outcome, or are they completely different?

4) I would like to create a hotspot using the Android, without necessarily going through T-Mobile. I would like to tether my laptop and iPod Touch to the G2x. What is the best way of accomplishing this?

5) Is there anything else that you think I need to know before I begin the process of transitioning to Android? Anything that I should expect, keep an eye on, etc?

Thanks!

1) What is the best way to root a droid, specifically the G2x? Are there differences, advantages, disadvantages of different methods, or do they all lead me to the same place?

Best way to root is to use the superoneclick method. It's beyond easy, it's literally downloading the program, and clicking root. Here is the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039985

2) For jailbroken Apple products, there is Cydia. Is there anything similar for Android?

I've never heard of Cydia, but I'm assuming you are asking can you download pirated games/programs? The answer is yes, there are MANY sites you can find on the web, though I'm against pirated games/apps.

3) Is there a difference between a jailbroken iPhone and a rooted Android? Are they functionally similar and are simply two different words for the same outcome, or are they completely different?

Never had an Iphone, so not exactly sure the exact def of jailbroken. Rooting an Android phone will basically give you superuser ability to change anything on the phone you want. It's similar to logging into Windows as an Administrator. It allows you to customize things you normally wouldn't be able to. Benefits are removing bloatware, installing custom roms, removing ads, etc.

4) I would like to create a hotspot using the Android, without necessarily going through T-Mobile. I would like to tether my laptop and iPod Touch to the G2x. What is the best way of accomplishing this?

Yes, there is a way to do this, I just haven't done this. A simple search will pull this up.

5) Is there anything else that you think I need to know before I begin the process of transitioning to Android? Anything that I should expect, keep an eye on, etc?

Once you get all your programs downloaded, I would def invest in Titanium Backup Pro. It will allow you to save all your programs, and if you have to reload a rom, you can just click a button and have all your programs restored. Also, read up on making a "nandroid". This basically will backup your entire rom/programs so if you screw something up, you can restore everything back to the way they were. Do a lot of reading on NVflash. If you plan on putting custom roms on here (which you will def want to), this is the best method to install clockwork. Link is here

Jailbreaking allows the iPhone to install 3rd party apps besides the app store. Android can do this out the box.

Rooting allows apps that need root access to your phone like overclocking and writing to the system partition. Hope that helps.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
You don't need a Jailbreak because Android is capable of doing those things out of the box without the need for jailbreaking.

The only thing you may need is Root Access (top level access) to do some modifications but most of the stuff you won't. Android is free to customize without 3rd party hacks.

Jailbroken and Root basically are the same thing but not really. You HAVE to jailbreak your iFone to install Cydia, which installs 3rd party apps which some can customize your icons and other stupid stuff.

Android doesn't need to be rooted to accomplish this. There are only a few apps that need Root access like Titanium Backup and Rom Manager, as they need access to core-level files. You don't need root to change the launcher, icons, wallpaper, browsers, etc. You really only need Root if you plan on flashing custom roms.

Rooting is pretty easy. There are multiple ways of doing it but the easiest is to just connect the phone and run a Root app (Similar to Jailbreaking methods). There are other ways but that is the easiest. Nothing changes once you root. It isn't like you'll find a new "special" market or something on your desktop. Again, root is just user-level logon that has access to core-level files that only a handful of apps require.

You can tether out of the box by simply going into Wireless settings and enabling it. Either USB tether or just a WiFi Hotspot (what I use).

For a lot of custom roms, the ability to automatically connect to WPA- and even some WEP-encrypted networks is a challenge, and not many people seem to know the specific reason for it.

A lot of people have been using a free app from the Market called Blade Wifi Fix, which has mixed results (I haven't had it work for me, but it does for other people).

The fix I use is to disable Wifi, then re-enable it, wait for it to show Disabled on my wifi access point, then choose it and press connect. That usually works for me. But again, that's just for me.
