[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpeMTBR:
Thought

Since this is a first time go around for you I would reccomend you download Rom Manager from the Market (download the free version and then pay for the donate version. It's a few bucks but well worth it). This will give you Premium Rom Manager. This application has a section where you can download Roms. You'll see a bunch of different Developers so find Ihtfp69. He has a rom called Skyraider Sense 3.5. This is probably my all time favorite Froyo Sense Rom. When you download the Rom and it wants to install make sure you do a full wipe of everything and make a backup of your current Rom (in case you want to go back later).

On a side note if you have apps you want to keep you might consider buying Titanium Backup from the market. After you flash your new ROM you can re-download Titanium Backup and re-install all your old apps with their data in tact!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzelick:
Thanks for the good advice Sharpe. I have 2 questions though.

1) What is the proper way to do a full wipe? I noticed the factory reset doesn't really wipe everything. Does the wipe option in clockworkmod do a sufficient full wipe?

2)It's been a while since I rooted but I'm assuming I use that nandroid thing to make the backup right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharpeMTBR:
If you use Rom Manager it will perform the full wipe and nandroid backup for you (without having to boot into clockwork mod yourself and do it all).

Performing a factory reset only erases all the user data on your current ROM, when you're installing a ROM and you perform a full wipe, it will delete the ROM completely.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bsullivan41:
Do any of the new 2.2 ROM's have Mediascape as well as Timescape installed?

Also, I would like to flash the [MODROM] scamble_v01.2[CM6.1.3] or one like it, with Timescape and Mediascape built in. Reason for this ROM is Astro and Gscript, other things that escape me now.

Thanks for all the hard work on these things.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMoney87:
You can install GScript and Astro for free in any ROM and yes many ROMs have Timescape or Mediscape but many require you to install after as an add-on.

[Galaxy Tab General] solo13:
Samsung is releasing a new Tab under the Model No. P1013

the only confirmed difference from P1010 is the black back cover , nothing else

Hardware is the same , and it using Froyo 2.2.1

so far it is using the same ROM installed on P1010. you can find the model No. P1013 mentioned only on the back cover .
[Galaxy Tab General] NewYorkNewYork:
Where did you get it?

In the US?
[Galaxy Tab General] solo13:
Still under development. the one I got is for testing purposes only.
[Galaxy Tab General] hoss_n2:
i want this back cover i think it can be inistalled on the p1000 model , another question will this be the galaxy tab 2 7" after the development is finished or it will be same hardware
[Galaxy Tab General] solo13:
I have tried 5 or 6 Samsung devices before being released, after release no hardware changes only software.

Last week I tried the galaxy tab 8.9 inches; honeycomb is laggy. But for sure it will much faster after fixing all of the bugs. It will be much better than ipad2.

By the way. You can install the back cover on P1000, not easy but applicable.

Does anybody have a way to stop the random reboots on Gingeritis VIII? I'm running the latest kernal 2.5.4 test4. Other than this and an occasional FC, this is a good ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R_Corbijn:
Try re-flashing the ROM, I've got the same setup and have not had any issues.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Read up before blaming the roms. The leaked radio's are the issue, this has been discussed quite a few times already. Either deal with it or go back to stock.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guardiansnet:
Yep, the radios appear to be the culprit, looks like I'm back to Froyo until they sound the "all clear". Hope its soon.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc42:
Sorry for another thread like this, but what I'm experiencing is really interesting as a lifelong nerd.

My contract has expired, meaning I naturally have the choice of a shiny new phone. I need £20 a month, I'm sticking with T Mobile, and I have a budget of about £200 upfront.

Obviously, as soon as I saw the Arc I wanted immediately. HOWEVER, the Samsung Galaxy S II prices have just been announced for T Mobile. On an identical contract it's only £20 more upfront O.o Dual core, BT3.0, NFC, front facing camera, SAMOLED display. I really should want it. For £20 extra it SHOULD be a no brainer.

But for some reason I'd still rather have the Arc. I wanna just know what you guys think?

What do you love about it? What about it would make you look at the SGSII and think you'd rather keep the £20?

Or wouldn't you? (My guess is you would, but as a confused nerd I want justification for my lack of wanting the most powerful phone around) >.<

Thanks all! :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blomkungen:
No nfc on the SGS2 yet though
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LahiruRD:
I will choose Arc over SGII even though SGII more future proof.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
I owned both and settled with Arc for three reasons

1. AMOLED colors to me are fake even with display set to Movie mode. Arc screen is close to reality

2. Samsung interface, color selections is just toooo ugly for my taste. While Arc's SE interface looks pleasant and very classy.

3. Even if you ignore the style of Arc, GS2 looks like a copycat of iPhones. There is no originality to it in style or design.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarbonX13:
Ignoring the hardware specs, which the Galaxy S II obviously wins in, the Xperia Arc has a far better hardware design. It's sleek, and it looks great. The Galaxy S II looks really cheap, and feels more like a blatant rip-off of Apple's iPhone devices. The TouchWiz interface on the Samsung devices also feels like it deviates from the Android experience, making the entire OS feel like an iOS device, again ripping off Apple's products.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I've not owned a GS2.. however.. for me the Arc runs very well and I don't really think that the performance boost on the GS2 would change my life much (if at all).. however.. when I get my arc out in public, I'm proud to show it off. cos it just so damned gorgeous!.. and Samsung have lost me with their iphone copying game.. sad sad sad.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsVA:
Samsung's TouchWiz UI basically makes Android OS feel like Samsung's feature phones.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
Sounds like you answered your own question.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, if you want the Arc then go for it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cherryfish:
SO agree with that!

Arc was just the first Smartphone that didn't look like an iPhone clone to me; and that's what I love it for.

I don't love it for the camera bug (as a good camera is my #2 requirement for mobile phones), but just everything else... the overall impression is just plain beauty, and that's something a SGSI/II/whatever can never provide.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superutp:
Well I just got rid of my streak...sold it and in the process of paying off my contract...got a SGS II on 32 pound contract....(*free phone*..:D)

and also have the arc (my gf's.:P)...

completely agree with the SGSII being a copy of the iPhone...forget the hardware...even the software and even the computer software for it...everything bloody thing reminds me of the iphone...

thts one thing I really hate about it...

oh and seriously the arc looks gorgeous...thts one thing u can never take away from the arc ..it is probably the best looking phone ever...and its no slouch compared to the SGSII either....

yea the AMOLED screen gave me those shocking colours reaction initially but now after I have got used to it I find the arc's colours plain (however much more natural)...

the biggest difference in performance I feel is in web browsing...the page renders and loads shutter free and super smooth...no lags...however you cant play half the games on the SGSII as of now...wts the point of the dual core processor n mail 400 graphics right now?

probably gonna do a video comparo if anyone's interested..for now I have to run to work..lol..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc42:
Really interesting post! Thanks ^_^ It's the fact its £20 more, thats all. Just wondering, since you have access to both, if you didnt have either, and were offered the SII for £20 more, which would you take?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc42:
Also I think one of my (rather silly) worries is that come Ice Cream Sandwich, it'll only function properly on dual core devices. I know this is unlikely, but it's a lingering thought.

Does everyone here reckon the Arc will be able to stand up to many future updates in terms on power?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Step666:
That's not just unlikely, it's ridiculous.

Sorry.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I second that, blunt, but entirely valid assertion!.. ICS won't only support DC devices.. that would rule out about 95% of the android market!.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
I love the fact that the back key gets stuck, and does not move at all the other push down and come up, but not the back key.

Oh no wait i dont love that.

But i do love the feel of it and the design, but for me the camera was one of the main selling points.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mineralvann:
you know its not supposed to be that way right? All my buttons work perfectly
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rumnyc:
I know I would never buy a samsung phone until they have interesting and original designs.

I would rather have iphone 4 over any samsung sold today and and the arc over the iphone 4 (actually i had the iphone 4 before the arc came out).
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhan86:
The thing i love the most is its design and overall uniqueness. If i wanted an Iphone UI, id get an iphone. So GSII was never an option.

Ive had my arc for over two months now and i still stare at its beauty and congratulate myself for not buying a samsung. Sure its dual core, but so far my arc has been extremely responsive, has never slowed down and has the best looking UI among all the android phones (in my opinion).

Like somebody previously mentioned, if u want design and class, go for the arc. I only have to flash my arc once to get ppl arnd me to ask "Wow which phone is that?". If you want specs, buy a GSII. Ull be spending a lot more time justifying that design by explaining its specs :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc42:
Dont apologize! I know it's ridiculous, and I'm not saying I think it would happen, but because I wasnt sure I wanted to get another opinion. Thank you ^_^
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darks1de:
Hey guys. I have one problem with my GT-p1000's battery. The tab was bought in UK in february and it had XXJK5 (November 2010) rom flashed in, also i haven't flashed any other roms yet.

So the problem is:

I use the wall charger to charge my tab and I usually plug it when I go sleep.

By the 19th of may it kept the charge well about 12 hours of intensive usage (web surfing via 3g/listening to music/playing HD games etc.) and I was satisfied enough.

But 3 days ago it started to claim constantly day by day on 47% that the battery is very low (1%) :confused:. I tried rebooting it time after time, deleting batterystats.bin file using root explorer, even full drain of battery up until it had no power to start and full cycle charging then, but all these attempts gave no result.

In other words, the battery suddenly drops from 47% to 1%.

I have no idea what to do in this case. Any suggestions?

P.S. Don't suggest me to flash newer rom, because it won't help to solve the problem. A friend of mine had the same problem with his tab and he tried a lot of different roms to flash, but it didn't help. He couldn't find any other solution and he finally sold it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwa66:
Sorry mate, i have the same problem. I can't use my Tab longer then 3 hours with very mildly use. From 80% to 3% in a flash, shutdown etc.

I tried lots of roms, resetting/deleting battery stats, touching the screen while turning on the tab, nothing helped.

The only thing i did not try was opening the Tab and remove the battery from the mainboard for a while. Some people say that helped. I could not find the right screwdriver so i just sent it to a repair center. I hope they will find out what's wrong.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpanggy:
Hello,

I had the same problem too, wiping battery stat did not help.

Flashing to Overcome v2.0 rc1 helped some people

but what I did was open up the tab with a tri wing screwdriver and unplugged battery for 30 mins and then plug it back in and it solved the issue.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattymat:
You don't have to use juice defender but by having it, it essentially shuts off your internet when your screen is off and not being used anyway (my intervals for turning it on are in 1/2 hours). I'm currently using KB1 which has excellent battery life and internet speeds. I tried KB5 and didn't notice much difference so I decided to revert back to KB1. Shouldn't make a terrible difference though.

Download the free version of juice defender and see how good of battery it gives you without changing your current configuration. You might be surprised...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Linuxslate:
My father has a Telus Milestone. Never rooted. He's on AT&T, but has gotten at least one OTA update.

The Back and Search Buttons seem to illuminate randomly sometime after the phone is booted.

They go off when the phone sleeps, and may or may not come on again latter. Sometimes seconds or minutes - sometimes hours. They'll even go on and off seemingly randomly while the phone is sitting on a table.

I've looked for any apps that would use these lights, and we've deleted many un-needed apps/widgets, or things that may start at boot.

Even looked at the logs in DDMS. Did not see anything obvious.

The next option is a Factory Reset, but that seems drastic for a nuisance problem like this.

Has anybody seen this? Any options other than the Factory Reset or Worse, a re-load?

Thanks for any help.
[Thunderbolt General] brucipher:
Hello everyone.

I am running the most recent BAMF 2.0.1.4 ROM, and most everything is working fine for me, but I am having one issue. I've searched all over for an answer but I have had no luck finding one.

I cannot sync my google calendar. Not only that, it looks like the stock Android Calendar is not even present. I tried to go into all Apps to clear the calendar storage, but there is no Calendar Storage listed.

When I go into Accounts and Sync, where it would normally list "Sync Calendar" in my google account, it says "Sync com.android.calendar" and if I try to turn it on i get a message that sync is experiencing problems.

Other than that I've had no problems...

Any ideas? I know I could wipe and start over but I would love to avoid that if at all possible.

Thank you!
[Thunderbolt General] taurus92:
No issues here. Synching Google & exchange calendars. Best bet would be to wipe cache / dalvic and reflash the ROM.

Tried clearing cache and dalvik, but still no go.

[Xoom General] funkatiko:
Why don´t we have custom roms yet?? :(

Wasn´t the source code dropped already??
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
When was the source dropped?

This is the last news we had:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/24/google-keeping-honeycomb-source-code-on-ice-says-its-not-ready/
[Xoom General] PaulG1488:
Since you think it dropped already go ahead and make one
[Xoom General] gqstatus0685:
What's the time frame they have to release the HC Source Code? Don't they HAVE to release it?
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
The Honeycomb sources will never be released. Google announced that at Google IO a few weeks ago, they will only release source code for Icecream Sandwich, which will unify phone (2.x) and Tablet (3.x) Android.

The reason they gave is Honeycomb is a hacked together version kinda rushed out for tablets, and they don't want anyone to see what a mess it is. (ok, that is my interpretation, their actual explanation is "this isn't a proper Android release as we took shortcuts to get it shipped ASAP for tablets, and we don't want devs to rely on these").
[Xoom General] funkatiko:
Since ur ass is were ur face should be, u are a freak.
[Xoom General] funkatiko:
So is it for sure that we are not having custom roms for honeycomb 3.0 or 3.1? I remember someone (i believe it was bigrushdog) saying that the custom roms were just around the corner....and that was 1 month ago....
[Xoom General] RMerlin:
I believe some people were able to make some kind of homebrew ROMs based on the SDK. How that works exactly I don't know, someone with better Android technical knowledge than me might know.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
They were able to port for other devices. But ports usually aren't the most stable things around - also no need for us to port...we have HC. We can't deodex and zip align without source. So anything a dev could do right now would be limited to some minor themeing.
