setCPU

ryan4sc: If you haven't checked it out already, you'll want to download and install SetCPU. Now that your phone has a kernel like Twilight Zone, you can save even more battery juice by controlling the speed of the CPU with this app. You can get it from the Android Market or here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silver03wrx:
Yes and you can over clock with set cpu. Mine runs great at 1.3
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan4sc:
Thanks for the heads up on that one. Trying it out now!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
The apps taking time to load in my experience has to do with them being saved on your SD card. I backed up my SD card and then formatted it and the lag went away.

I use juice defender even though most recommend that its not needed. JD always gives me ridiculous numbers saying it doubled my battery life, but in reality it adds about 30 - 40% more time. I typically get 18 hours or so of moderate to heavy usage out of my stock battery.

And this is running genocide 1.1 overclocked to 1.4 and undervolted 25 at each step except 1ghz which is stepped down 50 using voltage control.

Best buy is having a midnight sale and they have posted the G2X free w/ contract.

Typed on my CyanoSavaged SuperEvo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PikkonX:
And Amazon has it for $.01. Sucks for me because I just spent $79 on mine through Amazon yesterday, but at least I'll have it on Friday.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
kind of makes me wish i didnt shell out 200 on opening day :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonnyboyca:
yeah and i bought mine a week ago... and amazon's FAQ says...

Do you have a price guarantee?

If a price changes on an item you have already purchased, we are not able to	refund the difference. We do, however, consistently work to maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonnyboyca:
if it's before 30 days you can return it to tmobile
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boldfacelies:
Paid $333 for mine from T-Mobile.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] magnum_touchpro:
how does upgrades through best buy work? or amazon for that matter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
Best Buy has a price guarantee. 30 day price match. If they didn't you could just return it and get it from Amazon. It's better for best Buy to just match prices.

Anybody know how long that sale is going on for?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jtroye32:
Does the best buy deal apply to upgrades? Just got a new 2 year contract and have an upgrade for my line available. Also, Amazon.com shows 79.99 for new plan and 119.99 for upgrades. How are you getting .01?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] olmrjustin:
i was just about to purchase from costco online for 79.99. amazon wireless shows the same price as costco...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cnpthe3rd:
be happy i paid $500 for mine from T-Mo (but no contract) if you sign a contract your price for service per month is higher and I have found I get much better customer service with out a contract.

Well, im having some problems going into Download Mode...i have tried lots of different combinations, tryed using virtual terminal, toying with the USB Cable and the battery, any suggestions? Is there some kind of bug that affects phones making them unable to go into Download Mode?

I can get to Recovery just fine, the problem is Download Mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
What are you running?

Can you describe what you are doing (rather than me list it out if you are already doing it right)

be detailed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Well, im running latest CM7 Stock.

I have tried pressing both Vol. Up and Down and connecting the USB. Also tried taking the battery out, pressing both buttoms, connecting USB and then insert battery back. Also tried with the Pwr buttom pressed too, but it just goes into a bootloop in the Vibrant screen, and after i release the Pwr buttom, it goes to recovery.

I also tried using Virtual Terminal, and using "reboot download", but it just does a normal reboot, and goes back to the ROM. Am i missing something?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Have you installed the Nexus S drivers?

Here you go, if not.. from the FAQ:

Q: Where can I get the Nexus S drivers?

A: Download and install the Android SDK here then download "Google USB Driver package, revision 4"

Once downloaded, right click on "Computer", "Manage", "Device Manager", "Nexus S", "Update Driver Software", and point it to wherever you isntalled the SDK
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Thanks for that, but even after installing that driver and being able to use ADB (thanks to the driver, now i can use adb), the phone still can't go into Download Mode.

Anymore suggestions? Im not using the stock cable that came with my phone because i bought it from a friend, and he was using a BB charger and usb cable, and he gave me those to me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Bump! Bump! Need some help here!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Now that you have ADB and the drivers... can you now use "adb reboot download" with success?

Do you have odin up and loaded, usb into pc, battery out, plug into phone, holding both volumes insert battery... still nothing?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
I have Odin open...but how do i know if its "up and loaded"?

"adb reboot download" doesn't work, neither "usb into pc, battery out, plug into phone, holding both volumes insert battery"...altough, with the phone not connected to the USB, i pressed Vol UP, the Home Buttom and Power, and i was able to enter into "Unknown Upload Mode"...just to mention it.

Anymore suggestions?

EDIT: When i try to into download mode, when the phone turns on, instead of showing the "Vibrant Samsung" screen, it shows a loading circle, and the goes to directly to the "Galaxy S CyanogenMod" screen...that only happens when i try to go into Download Mode.

I just noticed that i didn't state the purpose of going into Download Mode...i want to flash my phone back to stock to flash some ROMs, im kinda stuck in CM7 now...SOOO, if there are others way to flash others ROMs other than flashing stock....

EDIT2: I have a question: I do have a Nandroid Backup of Bionix V1.3.3, should i use that back up? Or would it mess up the phone because of the file system CM7 uses?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Buump!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
With all the trouble you seem to be having just buy a jigg. You may need it if you plan on flashing and have such a difficult time getting into download mode.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longcat14:
Here, try this.

1. Take out EVERYTHING from your phone (SIM card, MicroSD card, Battery(make sure USB isn't plugged into your phone when you do this))

2. Plug in the USB cable

3. Hold VOL up and VOL down

4. Put the battery in.

This is the ONLY way I can get into download mode from CM7, so it may work for you (sorry if you tried this method already, I skimmed through the thread, but didn't see this posted).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gongshow:
what happens when you run adb with your phone connected.

do you get #

when you are in shell type "adb devices" or devices can't remeber

you should get the name and serial number of your phone

If you do your sdk is installed properly and recognizes your phone.

then try "reboot recovery"

If you have a voodoo lagfix and

if you are in red recovery on the phone

go to voodoo in recovery and the lagfix menu should come up and you will see a selection for reboot download. Select that and you should see download.

But, if your phone is recognized by adb (see above) and you cannot use the reboot download command in the shell then ... I don't know.

I would check your sdk setup and make sure the phone is recognized.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
I just want to point out that I've seen this problem twice and I was able to correct using a full JTAG write to the on board NAND. I'm not saying that's the only way to fix it but in my cases it solved it both times. I spent a few hours before asking the owner if he was ok with giving it a shot and I just made a backup to revert to in case it didn't work, but it worked great. PM me if you are interested in letting me correct yours with JTAG using the same methods...

Otherwise, good luck and please post what solved the problem if you fix it!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Thanks for posting this method, but i had no luck with this one...

I don't the red recovery, i have the orange one, so no voodoo options for me there.

And ADB its working fine, if i type "adb shell" i get the "#", if i type "reboot recovery", the phone reboots and go to recovery, but if i try "reboot download", the phone just reboots like i just said "reboot".

I guess i will have to build a jigg...i was trying to avoid that trip to the electronics store since its really far away from where i live, and i don't have a car right now. If this doesn't work, then i MIGHT give connexion2005 a shot, but i really don't like the idea of JTAGing, but i have seen some cases of JTAGing in wich the phone was succesfully brought back to life.

Im having the same problem.. I cant get into Download mode.. But I can enter recovery mode... How can I go to another rom? or stock?

Im really scared right now :(

Can I go to another rom just by flashing it with the recovery? :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Which ROM are you using?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
all of u guys having the problem getting into download mode, are ur phones hardware locked as in meaning they cant get into dl mode by the 3 button combo?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali1276:
Another option, put a 2.2 rom on your sdcard.

2. Flash a 2.2 kernel in sgs kernel flasher

3. It will reboot and then pull battery

4. Go into recovery with three button method

5. Flash a 2.2 rom

6. It probably will not boot because of the filesystem but from there you can go into download mode without jig. A lot of people have trouble getting into download mode from CM7, but once you are on a normal samsung rom it is easy.

If this does not work do the following:

Download the attached file at the end

Put it on the root of your sd card

Go into CWM and click apply sd card:update.zip

You should be in CWM 2.5.1.2

Now you need to flash a 2.2 rom

Finally, you should be able to get into download mode

Another method if all else fails

Download this 2.2 rom http://www.mediafire.com/?whl91yw8s3bf1jf This is m11, Jellette's rom, I just modded it so you can flash it from CWM 3, CM7's recovery.

Now, reboot it might or might not work, if it does not pull the battery and go to download mode with normal three button method.

IF I helped you click thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
Victory. I found out how to go into download mode! Its not the traditional vol up + vol. down + power + plug the phone into usb...it only goes to download mode when i have the phone UNPLUGGED, turned off and press VOL. DOWN + Power, and then i can connect the USB. I found out by a mistake, trying to go intro recovery and accidentaly only pressed vol. down + power...it was a pleasant surprise to see the phone go into download mode.

This is just in case someone finds this googling about problems going into download mode. Thanks again to everyone who tried to help me, i really apreciate it!!
[Android Software Development] chocoboyo:
Hello guys. I'm making an app, its a kind of alarm scheduler but I have a problem with the code. Thats what im using

ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor scheduler=new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(1);
scheduler.schedule(new Runnable() {
public void run(){
alarm(1);
} }, delay , TimeUnit.SECONDS);

It works for low values of "delay" if I put a high value (11000 for example) and leave the device alone, I think it enters in sleep mode and dont execute the timer.

How can I solve that?

Thanks in advance

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nickles96:
Hello friends.

I have an original VZW droid.

I rooted with EasyRoot many moons ago, then manually updated the stock 2.1 image to 2.2 FRG01B.

Ever since then, when i try to flash a new rom (or even the OTA update.zip to FRG02), i always get the Fail triangle with the exclamation point.

My latest go-round has been with Clockword Mod recovery.

i can successfully flash the recovery image, but when i try install a CM7 signed rom, i get the same fail triangle with a 'Status 7' message..

I have wiped data/cache/facory reset all several times.

in fact, as we speak, i just tried to apply to OTA update, and the error is ->

e:error in /cache/688e.....signed-voles-FRG22D-from-FRG01B.zip.

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

i've just resigned myself to be stuck for months now, but i have the flash bug again since i was able to successfully get CM7 on my nook color and do netflix.

is there any advice ?

thanks!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
If you mean to use a Mac to download the necessary files and what not - I've been there. I'm on a macbook, this drove me crazy when I first tried rooting my old mytouch 3g. Make sure you are using Firefox to download the files. If downloaded through Safari it won't work.

Don't know if that's what you meant lol, but hope it helped.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
nah I meant what you download and run...the instructions in the development section is for windows...I need OSX based
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Well, I rooted my phone with a mac...what exactly are you having trouble with? Aside from downloading the files and putting it on the sd card, I did it all through the phone anyway...

But I'm also not a hardcore tech guy, I don't mess much with ADB and what not, I just used the Unlockr's method...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bballcat03:
really? I could have sworn when I looked at theunlockr, it was windows only

I used to have a MT4G, and it got lost. Just got it replaced, and now I have a mac (had windows before)...so now I'm starting back at square one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Yeah I def just followed their method, using macbook...I don't think the instructions are really for one or the other...the files you need to download can be done via both pc and mac...all you gotta do with the computer is download the files and transfer them to the phone...after that, everything is done just through the phone...the video they show you is with windows, but the idea is the same. Just download the necessary files (use firefox), and then follow instructions, should work, it did for me.

Probably a n00b question, but anyway...

Many thanks.
[G Tablet General] markdemich:
I have a G table currently running to stock rom. I'm thinking of updating it to the CyanogenMod 7. I'm a little concerned with the warranty disclaimer when installing clockworkmod. Is this really true? It seems to me that you can flash your tablet back to the stock rom. If you did, could anyone tell you installed clockworkmod?
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I'm wondering, if anyone would really care. I think Viewsonic has accepted the fact that just about every g-tablet out there has been through some kind of software customization at one point.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Actually they do care not because they think of the world their stock rom but because they need an excuse to not honor their warranty. The goal of every private entity is to make money. That's why they were recommending peeople to use custom rom not too long ago.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I'd challenge anyone that has attempted to return their g-tablet, to post here and let us know if VS didn't honor the warranty because you flubbed with the software...

I haven't heard one case where a return was denied, yet.

I know they want to make money, but their name has already been dragged through the mud...not accepting a return because the tablet was modded will only add fuel to their proverbial fire.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
Unless something massively horrible happens, the worst you can do is soft-brick a gtab, requiring nvflash to recover it.

If you tried to return it soft bricked, VS might have a case to refuse the return. If you bother to take the few minuets needed to nvflash to stock, they would not know or care.

I thought the whole point of buying the gtab was to mod the heck out of it anyway - I happily set aside all cares and flashed a custom rom after the first unwrap/boot :)
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
People who needs to send in their gtab knows better than not nvflash to stock rom.
[G Tablet General] markdemich:
So my basic question was, if you use nvflash to flash it back to the stock rom (which I'm assuming I can download from somewhere), then no one would be the wiser? Is that correct?
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I don't see how they would. I'm running Brilliant Corners, but still have the stock 4349 recovery. If I flashed the original 4349 Rom, then technically, I'm completely stock...there might be a market fix in there somewhere, but other than that, stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Att.Fan1982:
I have read & read & read & want to know what's the benefit or advantages to flashing a recommended radio for a Rom versus using the stock rooted radio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] POPPY SEEDE:
I see you have been asking around about this with no responses, I cant give you the best advice but from my experience i never had any better signal or gps lock on with the recommended radios. some radios will help get better signal and GPS but most of time it's no better then the stock radio.

So the recommended radio isn't necessarily going to be any better.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Well its a personal choice. Like with different roms they recommend certain radios. My advice to you is,try different radios with ril files. But don't flash and say "I see no improvement." Let the radio get settled in and then after 2-3 days, judge for yourself. Keep trying different ones till you find out suitable for you and your area. They affect battery life,data connection,gps,and signal strength for your area. So the only reason they recommend certain radios,is because when tested,they provided the best results. So flash away till your happy
[HTC Inspire 4G] Summett:
I've noticed in many posts, the recommendation is to "let the radio settle in for a couple days", and i'm presuming that is the best way to test battery results with a specific rom.

But, should a person be able to see immediate results regarding signal strength when flashing different radios? I ask because my home is in a location where signal strength can be spotty, and usually that is may reasoning for trying new radios.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Well I've flashed two radios,stock and the newest ota radio. And I've seem 13hrs + while using a DHD ROM. Because its been 1 week and great results. So imo,yes within that first day u may notice more bars and data speeds increased.
[HTC Inspire 4G] david032766:
The reason the ROM's recomend a radio is because that is the RIL files loaded in the ROM, if Im not mistaken.. As long as you flash the matching RIL file to the radio you are using all should be good.

I can't really tell any difference in GPS signal or Internet speed with any of the radios.

I can say that I have been using the radio in my sig for 3 weeks now and i do get better phone reception than any other radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Well I'm using a way different radio for a DHD ROM and getting 4.15mbps down and 1.45mbps upload.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Att.Fan1982:
I'm going to make the attempt of flashing a radio and ril file. Worst case scenario, I don't see an improvement, where do I find the stock radio and ril files to flash back?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Here's the link to the radio. Use the one in the second post.
