[HTC Inspire 4G] ampsonic:
Hello All,

Thanks for the fantastic info on this forum. I got my first android device last week (coming from an iPhone 4), and I'm having a blast.

I've already rooted and I have been trying some custom mods.

I was using LeeDroid last week, including a custom kernel. Today I decided to give CM7 a try.

When you flash a new custom rom, is the kernel replaced as well? I'm assuming it is, but wanted to be sure I'm not running a kernel designed for LeeDroid on CM7.

Thanks again!
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
When you switch roms, you need to do a full erase prior to flashing a new Rom. This also removes the kernel. The new Rom should include the kernel. Or some roms allow you to flash different kernels.

Hello, has anyone seen an TTS app that runs in the background, where you can long press or open a menu option to speak whatever is on your screen. Would also like one that will read all my gReader feeds, one after another. The only thing I have been able to find is PDF or cut and past. Maybe I'm being too wishful.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] foethalove:
I shattered the glass that covers the camera. All it took was a little drop and it was over. I looked on ebay for a replacement but the seller wants $39. I think that is a little ridiculous. Does anyone know if I can contact LG about getting a new one or does anyone have/know of a source to procure one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] meljobin:
go to the contact up portion of LGus sight sorry cant post the link dont have enough posts to have that privelage yet

chat option works great already had to have them fix the glass on my fiance's phone.... great price kinda slow service
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:
What?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BlackAccord:
go to a store and see if you can have one from one of their returns, depending on the rep they should be able to give it to you for free dollhairs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
Yes, they will give you a replacement. I got one. They will only give you one through the life of the phone. I forget what number I called. I saw it on a thread at the LG site.

There is a post here by me where I asked if anyone was going in on an order of five. NJo one replied. I checked recently, they're still on backorder
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:
Bump, anyone know any other way to get a replacement back?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] foethalove:
Went to tmobile and asked if they.could give me a back cover from a return. They gave me one no problem. Thanks again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonnyboyca:
thanks for the info.. yeah all it took was the 1st drop and the camera plastic piece shattered... sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
I would just go and purchase the Mugen 4500mah extended battery since it comes with a battery cover and then you also get to benefit from the extra juice. I'm definitey gonna take the plunge when they get the new stock on june 6. The way I browse and play games the battery dies in about 4 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:
T-Moble wouldn't give/sell me one, can't fnd it in sock anywhere, anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I read a thread recently where someone had some probs w/ their back cover.. they called LG and LG shipped them one for free.. try that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deadeye0908:
I was also in need of a back cover.. I contacted LG via customer service IM and she was more then happy to send me a new one free of charge.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aladar42:
So, about two weeks ago my phone started acting kind of strange - in the sense that battery started discharging a lot faster than usual - back then I just kind of shrugged it off as probably a radio/ROM/kernel problem, and kind of forgot about it. Then, it got worse.. to the point where I now get about 3-4 hours of life out of the phone in standby mode, with only WiFi being turned on, CPU underclocked to 729Mhz max. Furthermore, the phone gets really hot after a while of using it.. I tried flashing differnent kernel, different radio and ROM (clean wipe, battery calibration), but nothing helped..

If that helps, SetCPU indicates values around 40°C battery temp.

Do you think it can be battery dying? I have it only for a little more than a year.. if not, any idea what can that be?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lconquistador:
Ok so this may seem strange but it's the only thing I can come up with. I have CM7 on my phone now and I've tried a few times to get this to work. Every time I install swype on my phone after a hour or two I no longer get a lock screen and my home and search keys don't work. I've done a full reset a few times and I only run into a problem after getting swype back on. I've gone so far as to backup everything except swype and then reset and load everything back and it's been working fine for a full day now. Swype is the only thing different. Has anyone else had an issue like this? I've searched forums and everywhere for days trying to find an answer.

Ok nevermind, It finally did it without swype also.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garak0410:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CliveEP:
Hiya. Trying to wade through all the information on the tab to select the parts relevant to the device I own can be difficult. What with the subtle hardware differences between the tab P1010 WIFI and the P1000 would it be worthwhile to open up a subforum? Also it may increase awareness of the device to stop the foolhardy rushing into flashing an incompatible ROM.

Its a fantastic bit of kit really, and at a comparably competitive price point. The only thing thats holding it back is a lack of custom roms and whatnot!

Much love.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stockhomer:
Yea it ' ll be great to have a subforum :O
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CliveEP:
Self sympathy bump. Just seeing if there's much interest in this...am probably flogging a dead horse but cest la vie, always good to convass opinion.

Lots of love, me.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravage2k:
P1010 Subforum would be very helpful.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
I very much doubt that this is going to happen. The forum was split once into GSM/CMDA and it doesnt work because then we get clone topics and other fragmentation.

The best way to split the GTab forum is with topic tagging and by the end user READING wtf he/she is flashing. If a user bricks their tab its 99.9% of the the time because they didnt read correctly which is their own fault and nobody else's.

Dont read, Dont flash. Simple!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Yeah, but the hardware is pretty similar with the GSM/CDMA Tabs. With the wifi Tab, it's completely different hardware.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CliveEP:
I totally agree with the last comment. But like the honorable gentleman says, the device has subtle hardware differences which makes it perhaps a little more worthwhile.

In hindsight I wish I would have perhaps purchased the P1000 instead as I miss the flashing element (and am far too thick to cook my own ROMs), but such is life. At the moment I have a (slightly lesser powered) Tab with oodles of potential, maybe a sub forum would increase awareness, maybe it would increase random attacks of spastic-threads, but I guess we shall never know.

I love you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediWing:
Hey,

My and my wife's Epics are having issues seemingly with the SD card. Latest Froyo stock, rooted for both phones.

The issue presents itself in 3 places:

-A "format not supported" or something like that in music player whenever I try to play any music (regular MP3, no DRM issues)

-An "unable to record video" message in the stock video recorder

-Ringtones stored on the SD card not playing.

These issues are all temporarily solved by unmounting and re-mounting the SD card, but reappear randomly (even without rebooting)

Is this a known issue with a known solution? I've been lurking General and dev and did a quick search and have yet to see anybody reporting this issue.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Most of these issues usually get resolved by backing up your sd card to a computer then formatting it in the phone then restore everything.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Just a couple things, and then hopefully I, or another member will be able to help you:

1. Don't use words like "latest". Be specific. Either now, or later, that description may or will be inaccurate. What version of Froyo are you using listed under Settings>About Phone.

2. What are you rooted by? Was it a one click? An Odin flash? And what version of CWM?

There are no "known" regular issues with sd cards that I am aware of, and the fact that you have the same issue with both of your Epics says to me that this is a direct result of something you have changed on both. The odds are stacked against a hardware issue, which is a good thing. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediWing:
Sorry for the lack of specifics.

My phone is ec05, one click root.

I've odin'd my phone back from a DK28 (the later of the two DK builds, apologies if 24 is the wrong #) build, and have used titanium to restore apps & data from that.

Actually, after thinking about it I was incorrect.

My wife's phone is still on DK28 and I have not Odin'd or restored via Titanium for her, though I have installed and backed up her apps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediWing:
wife's phone is also one click rooted
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Well it may be a bit of effort, but try a totally clean start. Follow kennys directions to format your sd card. Then odin the pre-rooted cwm in my signature.

-Sent from my custom Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediWing:
I have unfortunately not had time to try either of these suggestions (will as soon as i am able,as they are a bit time intensive), but I thought I would add that my two friends who got the epic recently (a month or so ago) and are running clean ec05

also are experiencing the same issue...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cspariah:
I've been experiencing similar issues on my stock Froyo Epic, resolving this is actually what brought me to this community to find a new ROM or other solution.

What's happening, in my experience, is that the device periodically loses the ability to stream audio and video. Anything that does streaming -- either over the air or off memory -- stops working. This includes MP3 and video playback, MP3 ring tones (but not the built-in ones interestingly), YouTube, Pandora, etc. This doesn't seem to be specifically related to the SD card.

In the short term, rebooting your phone will probably fix it for a short time.

In the long term...? I'm not sure yet. I can tell you this... on Monday I rooted my phone, backed it up in CW, did a factory reset, and then restored it in CW. Since then, the issue has not reoccurred, which is unusual as it used to be a daily problem.

So, what I did might be worth a shot even though I can't tell you what it actually changed internally.

(Incidentally this issue isn't exclusive to the Epic -- searching on the error messages led me to some HTC Froyo users complaining about the same thing.)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cspariah:
Following up on this... the issues are still occurring a couple days post-reset and restore. I wonder if some temp cache is filling up or something. Anyways my next fix attempt is to try a custom ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcm5025:
Similar Problems

I've been having some similar issues. I was running pretty much stock for a while, I just had used odin and the samsung update to upgrade to Froyo when it came out. Didn't really have any issues for awhile til a few weeks ago the sound stopped working for all apps.

I rooted it the other day and the problem seemed to be solved. Then after running into some problems while trying to flash roms, I had to run the samsung update through odin to save the phone. Rooted it again since then and no sound problems, but now all of the apps that are on the sd card aren't showing up in the app list sometimes.

If they are on my home screens, their icon isn't showing but the app will still open. After messing with it for a little bit or rebooting and stuff, they come back into the app list and icons come back and everything. Can't figure it out yet... After going through everything with reflashing the stock rom and rerooting and everything, I'm hesitant to flash a new rom right now and spend more time on it. Maybe it's a problem with my SD card? It's the same one it came with and I never did anything with it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OniKyanAE86:
I am running the stock EC05 firmware, rooted with One Click Root, and a Lexar 32GB class 10 memory card. I did not have this issue before this started to happen. I too have been experiencing these issues for the past couple weeks and I can not find a solution to this problem. I have formatted my memory card, reinstalled applications, etc. and still having these issues. Another problem is that applications will not install or delete which led to investigate further and found that my ".android_secure" folder on my SD card keeps corrupting. This is where android stores the info/apps that are installed to the SD card. it keeps corrupting and all the info keeps deleting itself so apps that have been installed to the memory card are not showing up. Luckly I made a backup of my SD card before it got corrupted and I copy over the ".android_secure" folder and my apps appear again, but that does not last long as within the same day or two the folder gets corrupted again.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfahrenheit94:
Hello,

Well, I was having this really really weird problem where all of the sounds emanating from my phone were running at 8x speed, like music, system notifications, ringtones, applications, games, everything but voice calls between two people. My phone is unrooted 4.1.83. The way I know it's 8x speed is because i listened to a song and the time counter at the bottom of the player is normal speed, so when the song ended, I just did original duration of song over the actual duration to get how many times it was sped up. Point being, after I rebooted my phone, it was fine, but has anyone else had this problem and do you know what caused it?

[Desire General] jagdipa:
When I receive a new sms message, I open the notification bar and 'click' on the message. This opens the messaging app with the message at the bottom.

My problem is that, sometimes, when I click on the message, the messaging app opens in landscape (even when I am holding it in portrait). It then resets to portrait, but now I am at the top of the message thread instead of the bottom. This is very annoying as I now have two options - either scroll down to the bottom (painful as I could have hundreds of messages in the thread), or press back and then select the message thread again.

I there anyway of stopping this behaviour, or setting the messaging app so that it always opens the newest message?

does this mean Google will be clamping down on rooted phones? opinions please
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mlin:
Google only has so much power. If they want yo offer some of these services they news to cooperate with Netflix, MPAA, etc. I think some of these blogs/people are blowing this out of proportion.

Tapa tapa tapa
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
The article sounds a bit hysterical to me, going for fearmongering which surprises me coming from Kendrick who I usually agree with. This feels like those Apple commissioned "Android is tracking you too!" articles that came out during the recent iPhone privacy problems.

The fact that both Netflix and Google are doing this only with videos makes very clear what is inspiring it...they are afraid of getting sued by some deep-pocketed movie studio in an RIAA style vendetta because some wizkid found a way around DRM on a rooted device and passed 100 copies of Avatar 5 or something. At the very least that possibility could make the studios deny their content to Android while still suppling it to tight-as-a-drum iPhones and ipads. That would be bad.

This seems like an altogether healthy and intelligent step for Google to take to protect android's future growth. I can't see Andy "Privacy? Where?" Rubin fighting an all out campaign against rooted Android devices...and the carriers won't since they they know rooted phones are a big draw against the iPhone.

This is definetly bloggers just looking for negative android stories to please Cupertino.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jinsoku3g:
I think it protects copyrights more than anything ATM. Even with music, stealing is stealing. I think its nothing to worry about.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
i dont think anything will happen for rooted users.

its what makes android / google so unique, Free from the closed source community.

if they where to clamp down on rooted users it would put off a lot of users, maybe making them switch to another OS.. google dont want that.

Anyway, its our device so its upto us what we do with it, we know that rooting voids our warranty / improves chances of bricking, but we do it still...

android is for the experienced phone user, if it wasnt hackable, i dont think we would like it so much
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fallenguru:
I sure hope not and I pray that this doesn't catch on. With HTC doing their best to make rooting custom ROMs impossible and app vendors deciding they don't want to run on rooted phones at all that might give others ideas ... When all's said and done jailbroken iPhone users might have more freedom than we do. :(

Well, is it true or not? Should be easy enough to check for someone in the US.

Say what?

Just because I've always wanted to know, where does it actually say that?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rschenck:
First, I know that it is true, but it is not the first step in an antirooting war that Kendrick tries to present it as. Therefore, it is fearmongering.

Second, since all such downloads go through Apple's proprietary money spinner called iTunes, it is a much more controllable environment than android with the market. Apple has pledged itself from the first iPod to be all about DRM....Google not so much.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzelick:
Ok so I have a rooted incredible, I just wiped all the data using the option in the settings>storage>factory data reset and then since some email accounts and all of my app icons were still there I wiped all the data using the clockworkmod tool that is on my phone from rooting.

Now for my questions:

If i look under "all" in the manage applications utility there are a bunch of HTC/Android apps that are listed in there but only as 0.0b in size. Is that unusual?

Some of these apps include:

3g mobile hotspot

android live wallpapers

android system

app sharing

bluetooth share

calculator

car panel

"copyright"

etc.

Some of these like car panel are ones that I moved into a different folder when I rooted so the incredible wouldn't see them. Is it normal for all these to be listed at 0.0b?

I also seem to have a lot more processes running than before, some processes that appear to be new that are running now are:

EPST

Google Partner Setup

HTC Message Uploader

MCC_OTA

Media Container Service

My Uploads

Pico TTS

Updater

Open Sense Plugin Manager

I don't think most of these were running before I wiped the phone, which ones of these are excessive and how do I get them to stop running?

Would I just be better off looking for a stock 2.2 ROM that has all the bloatware removed ahead of time? If so do you guys know where I could find one?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpeMTBR:
Version

Are you currently running stock android 2.2?

I've never heard of apps showing up as 0 bytes. Maybe the data their storing is 0 bytes but not the app istelf.

If you're already rooted I would go for some of the newer ROMs. You can jump on plenty of good froyo 2.2 roms (incredible list, Rom Mananger, XDA, etc), however you might consider some of the new Gingerbread roms that are coming out.

I ran stock 2.2 for a while and I'm telling you, almost ANY ROM out there is better than stock (bye bye bloatware!)
