[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bush2088:
i recently flashed Simply Galaxy RC3.3 Update 1(JVB GB 2.3.3), and i freekin love it. my only prob is that my Bluetooth doesn't work now. i was just wondering if any of the android gods that frequent the hallowed halls at XDA could help me out with this conundrum. many thanks in advance.

EDIT: thanks anyways y'all, but Simply Galaxy Revolution will be out in a few. gonna flash it as soon as it comes out. Viva La Revolucion!!!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] MrTrip:
Really Sprint? This is retarded. I pay $10 extra for "premium data" and I don't even have 4G in my area, let alone worth while 3G.

But thanks for the $30 credit on my $190 bill I got slapped with this month.

US Cellular customers in the area get blazing fast 3G speeds...

I would have switched but I love my Evo Shift so much :(

Tried the latest radio upgrade, nothing new...

I'm smack dab in Waterloo, IA

WHY WOULD YOU LIE SPRINT?

Sorry, just venting a little bit. Anybody else near me getting the same crap 3G speeds?
[EVO Shift 4G General] koolkid09:
I have the same problems with My phone. I believe it might be cm7. When I was sense I got about .60-.90 mbps upload. Now I can barely get passed .30 mbps upload and sometimes it shows .10mbps upload.

I also noticed on cm7 that i go into 1x a lot now. Places where I would usually get 3g I get 1x signal. It's kind of a pain.

edit: At first I thought the radio update did something, but it really didn't help.

edit 2: added a new picture.

Have you tried the EPST proxy trick yet?

download MslReader from the Market to get your MSL code.

dial ##3282#

Select: Edit Mode

Enter MSL code

Select: Advance

Scroll all the way to the bottom.

Change only the last two lines.

Http Proxy Port to 0 that is a "Zero"

Http Proxy address to 0.0.0.0

Press menu and commit Modifications and exit out. Reboot phone and test the speed again.

Please post back your results.

Goodluck!

I'm not sure if you meant 'Reset' or 'Restore' --- but, there is an issue if you update your data profile and then update PRL that will cause your data profile to get messed up.. I followed the steps in this thread, and now my 3G is perfect... Specifically - the portion dealing with restoring, having the phone reboot, letting it to handsfree activation, and then cancelling the PRL update.

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html

I was only getting a maximum of 90-100kbps before doing this..

I tried all the fixes and the new radio on my Shift and I've just given up. My first month with it I used over 12 gigs of data and now I can't check the weather the signal is so poor. Flashed it back to stock and its going on ebay.
[EVO Shift 4G General] zrmxp95:
Hmmm......I have never had any problem with my shift's data only when its on 1x.....my moms shift had the 1x bug where it wouldn't connect to 3G but the ##DATA# Restore worked for her phone now the 3G works.....
[EVO Shift 4G General] BrandoKC:
Might be a cm7 bug
[EVO Shift 4G General] koolkid09:
I change my mind in my first post. I think it might be a sprint problem with data speeds. Watch phonedogs review of the nexus s 4g, and start at 8:09. The reviewer stays around my area and I have been getting the same as you see in the review.

I compared mine to my wife's hero, her is more than double my speed (100+ vs 39). not sure why, I will think a newer phone should be faster. anyone has any ideas?

100kbps is still horrible 3G speeds, I stayed on sprint's ass about this and my last months bill got a 140 credit and a no charge airave, but i have had this issue for months, and mine were like yours anywhere between 50-100kbps, I told them it was breech of contract and all kinds of things and that they owed me both lines off contract etf free and they offered the airave so i stayed
[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
My experience,wife and i both had other smartphones and both had better signals which made everything liveable. Then purchased 2 shifts signal dropped from 3-4 bars all the time to 1-2 bars and dropped calls. So called Sprint told them that this was unacceptable as my wife uses hers for bussiness and we don't have a land line.2nd day Aired an AirRave to me.We also use our wireless router when at home.
[EVO Shift 4G General] trsix:
vegas

when i got the phone speeds were just ok.

a month and a half ago started to suck bad.

started to think it was the phone. complained to sprint.

said they were updating the system here and gave me a date it'd be done.

sure enough now good again. i don't even bother with the 4g since i use it to watch movies and shows mostly. works great.

probably their network not the phone.
[EVO Shift 4G General] dumper1234:
so I need to contact the sprint local store or just call customer service?

Thanks for all. In omaha, we live in a area full of trees, I don't expect a very strong signal but compared to my wife's hero, she can watch on line video and all that, mind just bad....

I did the ##data# and PRL, it didn't help any...
[EVO Shift 4G General] :
If you are talking about the Air Rave call customer service.
[EVO Shift 4G General] linuxman008:
Yeah, before I had to take my shift back, I would get like 1kb up/down. I think it was because I never did a prl update.

But when I got a new one, the speeds were like 3mb up/down. I knew this couldn't be all prl so I called up sprint, and they said they had added three new towers in my area.

Now, I live in LA, so I've been blessed with 4g and it seems to me that when I got the new device, speeds went through the toilet. After fixing the proxy sprint uses, my 3g went up to 4mb up/down, and my 4g I had previously gotten 9mb down and 5mb up, but now I get 3mb up/down. Has anyone that lives in LA noticed this too?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majj311:
I tried using the Google navigation app in the car and found that it could not load the route/directions. The map showed my current location fine so the GPS works. Is the failure to load route the result of this being a wifi device and the map data is not stored locally?

I'll try loading a search before leaving wifi connection next time and see what happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] human_error:
The maps are not stored locally when you don't have a route planned. If you plan a route while in wifi range or while teathered to a phone then it will work fine as it downloads the map data for the entire journey at the start and keeps it in memory.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Perhaps one of the standalone GPS navigation package would be a better fit. Those have map databases. Unfortunately some are kind of pricy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vadimus_ca:
You can use offline navigation software, like Copilot or Sygic Aura, they will work even without internet access.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpavich:
I'm going to second the suggestion for CoPilot..it's only 4.99 and it's a good piece of software....the ONLY thing that I don't like is that it's a bit blurry at tablet size...they need to optimize it for the TF...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtybar:
I'm reading the reviews. Does the 4.99 come with the North America map or do I need to pay for that separately?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underbolt:
Sorry if these questions are covered (I tried to look). I don't think I would have a problem rooting my phone. I have rooted my nook. That said, this is my first smart phone.

If/when I root my thunderbolt will I be able to keep using Sense? I don't really like any of the roms or whatever you call it. I like Sense, but I feel like I need some more power over it.

How easy is it to 'brick' a phone while performing a root? This is probably the biggest reason why I haven't rooted my phone. Ruining my phone really scares the **** out of me.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headcheese:
You can use sense roms. I like Bamf remix. Pretty similar to stock but has some nice extras and customization. How do you know you don't like any of them when you haven't even tried them?

I haven't seen anyone here saying they bricked their phone. Just read all the threads, read up on adb, get it working, follow all instructions and youre good!

I was hesitant right away because I had only used un revoked in the past, but it was pretty simple. It will take some time though. Just read and make sure you're comfortable with everything before you start rooting.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headcheese:
The toughest part for me was getting adb set up. Once I had that I was good.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
Been rooting since the droid 1 and ive never bricked a phone. just make sure you understand what it is your doing and youll be fine. once you root you can leave everything the same as it is (which would be pointless), overclock for speed, underclock for battery life, keep sense, remove sense, install sense/sense based roms, install senseless (no pun intended) roms, or do pretty much whatever you want on your phone. use the three click s-off method rather than the adb method. its a little easier and as long as you follow the directions its pretty much impossible to brick
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ERIFNOMI:
I would recommend, as would others I'm sure, to actually use ADB yourself over the three click method. It's a good skill to learn a little about and, honestly, I trust putting commands in by hand over using a program like that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] giopas:
Hi dudes,

I wonder to know how can I backup all wifi passwords and config before switching to another Rom. I think it's container in a network manager file...

Would someone just create an app (I think it will require root access) to backup it and restore in a single click? I'd love it, since I'm getting bored to input 64 characters length passwords... :-)

Cheers,

[Optimus One, P500, V General] holymolys:
what about saving it to a QR code and just scan it? then paste haha
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ungaze:
-Get root explorer

-Browse you nand files and look for /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

-Copy it to your SD card

now when you flash a new ROM just place the file back in /data/misc/wifi directory using root explorer.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] giopas:
Wifi key recovery app seems to back up this file (I have still to test it), but it does not restore it back.

Root explorer is a paying app and does much more than needed...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sholimar:
Thank you very much! I didn't know about that file...

Seems like I can't put off buying Root Explorer anymore... it pops up everywhere! :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] giopas:
Yep, it seems so... even if IMHO "Wifi key recovery" app already seems to do the first part of the job: export infos. It would be nice if someone could write the second part: restore.

Any (capable) volunteers???

EDIT: I've just bought root explorer, but I'd like that app..

btw on Galaxy S the file is /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf

Hey Guys,

having an issue getting CM7 Beta 6, after a 2nd attemp to get it installed getting the same issue.

Rom flashes, apply the fix.zip and fixbrightness.zip, reboot the phone, then after the blue led goes off the phone sits with the Moto symbol, left it for a good 15 mins and still just showing the symbol.

going to try flash with out the fix.zips and see whats happening, any one had the same issue?

didnt install the google apps, think that might have been the issue, will try when im more awake

now having an issue with boot looping on the startup animation,

You might want to read this.

That is the definitive guide to bricking. You will probably find all the answers you need to get yourself out of that soft brick and to get back to a place where you can get to 2.2.

In theory, according to the guide, as long as you still have the 2.3 bootloaders in place, you should be able to flash a 2.2 rom
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3thods:
Can someone verify this? I'm possibly thinking of flashing back to FF, and if I don't have to revert to the Froyo bootloaders it'll make my decision easier.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Yes, GB bootloaders work just fine on Froyo based rom. Just make sure you flash a froyo kernel first, get in recovery (don't boot the phone normally) and flash the 2.2 based rom you want (beside cognition as it flashes the sbl.bin)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwiz123:
so if i Flash Serendipity will it still work after because i hard bricked my phone flashing GB -> Froyo roms and i ended up having to get an Rma phone

As long as the froyo rom does not flash a secondary boot loader, you should be fine.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Correct ... To check the rom for a secondary bootloader, open up the zip look in the updates folder if you see "sbl.bin" that would be the secondary bootloader. Don't flash that rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwiz123:
Well since infant use .bin files can I just delete that file form the Rom? Or will it get corrupted
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Yes ... You might also have to go into the script "Meta-inf" and delete the lines about sbl.bin, not sure if it is in the script to flash it individually or just the update folder...but the only rom I know has it is cognition. But I'd still check every rom I was going to flash, better safe than sorry.

Sounds Like a lot of work but ill try

Im no dev but I am sure that the actual 3.0 lockscreen is part of the HTC Sense framework therefore cannot be ported over easily over to CM7 which is built up from stratch.
