[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
i used to think highly of lte and lowly of hspa+ as 4g. wimax, lte, and hspa+ are actually all rehashes of 3g technology modified enough to be considered 4g. the problem i have with lte is that the phones are very thick and the battery life is horrible. it makes a better phone when you actually turn 4g off, and thats not good on verizon since their 3g maxes out at 1.5mbit if your lucky. lte is the future of cell phone tech but its seems its not ready right now. ill wait for a good 4g phone.

i do have to say i find verizons diversity of lte phones quite peculiar. the htc thunderbolt, samsung charge, and lg revolution all have 4.3" wvga screens, 1.3mp front cameras, 8mp 720p rear cameras, 1ghz snapdragon processors, all very thick and have bad battery life. no smaller screens or slide out keyboards or any real selections are to be found.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
even the bionic specs out exactly the same, they apparrently need to revamp it though. the verizon techs at the store said it had heat issues.

and i head the droid 3 and x2 are not going to be 4g.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bella92108:
LOL... I had an inspire and went back to iPhone after 2 weeks. I HATED the battery. I'd charge it, go to bed, and wake up and it'd have auto powered off, WTF?!!?

I returned it. I just bought an Infuse 4G... haven't set it up yet, hopefully it's nice on batter.

And FYI on LTE: Seriously? AT&T hasn't launched a single market on LTE... by the time they have the top 50 markets covered it'll be Summer 2012... get real, of course the Infuse doesn't have LTE, haha. If they launch LTE handsets by mid 2012 I'd be shocked. This is AT&T we're talking about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrub Life:
I just got my phone back today after it was stolen. During the time i didnt have it i deactivated the service on it. Would it be possible to activate it even though its on a whole other ROM?

Specifically Its on Mik-G RC1

EDIT: I decided to call *2 on my Evo and talked to the customer service rep and I got service back on it. Thanks jesuspgt for suggesting it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
Should be possible to activate it. If not, there's no reason that you couldn't just flash it back to stock, activate it, and then flash back to whatever you prefer.

The more important thing to worry about would be to make sure that you get the Lost/Stolen flag taken off that phone if you called and reported it stolen. To get it taken off you'll have to call customer care and ask them to remove it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markjc12:
you should be able to without any problems. It's still the same phone with all the same S/N's and what ever other numbers they need to activate.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrub Life:
I would do that but the problem is that my SD card was stolen. I'm going to buy a new one in a while and i have a backup of the card on my PC, but I just want to activate it as soon as possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthPhilly:
You most likely will need to flash a Sence based rom. I think if you did it over the phone you would have to enter a few things throgh the dailer app.

And most definitely if you took it to a Sprint store.

Few questions though, when you say "deactivate" do you mean you had your account put on hold or canceled?

Did you report it to Sprint as stolen? I ask this cause if you reported it stolen Sprint would/should have flashed the ESN on the phone. If they did it wont work.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcaneMethods:
When I turn on WiFi from my iPod Touch at San Francisco Airport I connect to the airport's free wifi. When I do the same with my Vibrant I get a T-Mobile Hotspot paywall instead. How can I get rid of that interposition and get the free connection rather than getting a Hotspot account and paying T-Mobile to use it?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longcat14:
You should be able to get it for free as long as you have a T-Mobile account. I guess you don't. That's weird that there's a paywall. Try taking your SIM out and see what happens.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcaneMethods:
I have a T-Mobile phone and data account but it appears that signing up for a Hotspot account so that I can get through the paywall obligates me to pay a usage fee as well. No-Way when a free connection is available and No-Way when I am a T-Mobile subscriber already.

I just cycled the SIM and will see what now happens at SFO later today.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmeden:
Check the SSID you're connecting to.

Maybe your hitting t-mobile's predefined "T-Mobile" hotspot instead of the free one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcaneMethods:
Is there a way undefine this forced paywall predefinition from my phone?

Lousy, spotty T-Mobile 3G coverage in the entire S.F. Bay area and they're greedy on top of it. I can't wait for this contract to run its course. T-Mobile is so self-defeating maybe I won't wait.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmeden:
If you see it in your WifI list, just hold it and select remove..

I got burned by it when trying to pull up my paperless boarding pass at DFW. Wifi linked to it (but required a login) and prevented 3G.

Once I realized what was happening, I turned WiFi off and could get the pass.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetechnogeek:
So here's a question I don't think has been asked/answered... when I'm using non-google/gmail email on the SII (eg a normal exchange account), I don't appear to have any choice on input method- all I get is a standard (Samsung I guess) keyboard, with no correction or spellcheck options, and no apparent way to swap to the gingerbread keyboard I have installed and working for txt messages. There's not even an option to select Swype that I can see.

Anyone else encountered this issue? Am I missing an obvious setting somewhere?

By the way, I'm on KE7, rooted, gingerbread standard keyboard installed, quite a few options frozen. Maybe I froze something I shouldn't have?

Appreciate any help or comments on this :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paalkr:
Hi!

I have encountered the lack of word prediction in the default pop/imap/exchange email client, but I'm still able to change keyboard and use any keyboard already selected when entering the app.

That the text input field in the email client restricts using word prediction is extremely annoying. I guess there is something special about that client, because if you use the HTC IME_MOD keyboard the whole app just hangs and FC after a while.

Regards,

PK
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:

Howdy folks!

I've just bought a Nook Color, and I followed these instructions to the letter:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide

(I've done it before and it worked perfectly)

However, this time after installing CM7 and the GApps zips, I reboot and I cannot see the Market app. It doesn't exist. (see attached image).

I thought maybe it was just a problem where I simply have to add a google account...

I go to menu->settings->accounts and sync->add account

Rather than the normal "choose an account type" dialog, It says "you can configure an exchange account" and I am not given the option to choose a Google account.

I reimaged a different SD card and rebooted into recovery using that card and wiped data, wiped cache, installed CM7, installed gapps, and rebooted.

Once again, the same exact issue.

I reboot to recovery again and this time I just install gapps and reboot... same issue...

Any help would be extremely appreciated, and if you can solve this problem for me, I'll even 'donate' 5 bucks if you have that set up. :-)

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated here.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Could it matter what version of CM7 you're using?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
Thank you for the response.

I've tried CM7.0.3 and the latest nightly [today]
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Google Apps pretty clearly did not install. My best guess is either you somehow grabbed the wrong package or your download just got corrupted. You should scrap the gapps...zip you downloaded and re-download this package:

I just tried it to double-check, and the main download link was flagged malicious by Avast and didn't load, so I used the mirror. Try that.

With CM7 installed, make sure Wi-Fi is set up (sometimes prevents complications), then reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Insert the SD card with the new gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip file in the root directory. Choose "install zip from sd card," then "choose zip from sd card," then "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip," then "Yes."

You should see some text in the bottom half of the display indicating that the install is proceeding, and eventually that it has finished. Click the power button to back out to the main menu, then "reboot system now."

If that doesn't do it, I've about exhausted my knowledge.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
Hello, and thank you for the reply.

I've tried it on two different sytems on 3 different nooks with 3 different SD cards and various different versions of gapps and CM7 including the nightlies.

This problem started when the nooks with the "green stickers" came out.

(Green sticker indicates that it has the new version of Nook software, while a blue sticker indicates that it has the weird new partitioning scheme. These do not have the blue sticker.)

I've tried enabling wifi and whatnot, and then reinstalling the gapps package but no bueno. The apks don't even seem to exist in the system\app directory.

This is a global problem with any new Nooks. I think i just happen to be one of the first ones to experience it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yossarian229:
This has been an ongoing problem for me since I came back to CM7 from HC last week. I don't think it has anything to do with the old or new because I got my NC on launch day.

I had figured that it was just something I had done (I get distracted easily so following directions is....oooooh! A bunny! :D ) but I've reflashed CM7 and GApps 3 seperate times.

It's only really an annoyance for me since I had most of my apps backed up and I've managed to get the Amazon store and AppPlanet up and running. I'd just like to get the Google market running just so I can have the Trifecta.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
I really hope we can figure this out. :( I know this can't be just me.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
What actually happens when you try to install the gapps zip? Does CWM indicate that it is in fact installing the package, and then that it's done?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
indeed it does
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
some added info:

on the "green sticker" nooks, when you try to flash the update OR the gapps, it says it can't mount system or data to make logs, but still seems to work fine. If I manually mount system or data first, it doesn't throw the errors. After flashing CM7, I get fewer errors. CM7 flashes just fine, and the gapps install and CM7 both say install completed, it's just the gapps that don't show up :S
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabiddabird:
I've heard some people were having trouble flashing the latest stable 7.0.3 and getting gapps to install. This worked for me. I flashed cm7.0.2 from cyanogens site and the google apps add on on the same page. I then flashed 7.0.3 without the google apps add on included with 7.0.3 and it worked. Hope that helps some people :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
I'm not really sure what you're saying. The gapps aren't installing is the problem.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
S/He's saying try installing the previous stable build and see if gapps will install with that. If so, you can then upgrade to 7.0.3 and gapps should remain in place. Technically that's what I did, just because the new stable came out after I had 7.0.2 up and running on SD, but I didn't have any problems flashing gapps with the 7.1 beta to eMMC later on.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
ah, I see - I tried that. in fact, I know that on previous versions of the Nook, the gapps installed just fine. I think it's something to do with the 'green sticker nooks'.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CastellFaber:
I hope this gets or has gotten solved as I just bought a "green dot" NC.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
The issue persists, I'm afraid. While it seems I'm not the only one with the problem, there appears to be no solution.

Update: The issue persists on the "blue dot" nooks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Several 'green-dot' owners have reported installing everything just fine, so that may not be the source of your woes. Have you tried the repartitioning thread for blue-dots, even though you don't have a blue-dot? It seems like your best bet is to one way or another get your NC into a state identical to machines that aren't having this issue.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnameissoclever:
yes sir, I've repartitioned as well.

Could it be the fact that I'm using CWM 0.7?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Germwise:
One of the very few downsides to the Asus transformer is the lack of a full-sized USB port on the tablet itself. You can always purchase a dock and Asus has said that they will be selling a miniUSB >USB dongle. However, neither of these solutions is really the same as having a slot within the tablet.

I figured the folks at XDA wouldn't stand for this!

Here is my challenge. Add a full USB slot to the tablet and post instructions.

Here is how I could see this going down:

1) Someone with more hardware know-how, open up your transformer and find a physical spot in which one could place a full female USB connector with a small mounting bracket.

I haven't seen a hardware teardown yet probably due to lack of stock.

2) Figure out wiring from a full USB slot to controller. Perhaps directly splicing with the microUSB cables?

3) Either do it yourself or write up your findings and let the community try.

I think with a small dremmel tool and some pieces from radioshack we could make a pretty good mod.

What do you guys think?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kilmar:
I'd be interested to see someone do this, but I think 99.99% of the population would be too afraid to take a dremel to their TF considering it is about 6 mm in width at the edges. It would have to be a pretty tiny dremel. That's not considering the risk of opening it up. Then, finding the right location to solder the USB port to on the circuit board.

I think I'll wait for the dongle :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gbcue:
The easiest would be a dock connector to USB dongle. That way, it doesn't require opening anything, just scoping the dock and how that works.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyler477:
Just wait for the official solution that's my advice
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capeguyma:
For what it's worth, I bought a usb 3.0 F-F adaptor and attached it to the power cable. I then plugged in a usb memory stick. There was some activity and drivers were loaded on the Transformer, but the memory stick was not recognized.

Anyone else have any luck with this?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
The past few days I've been getting a "Status Bar" force close which means the notifications bar completely disappears, including the main Android buttons in Tablet Tweaks.

Going into the settings and toggling top status bar or bottom status bar doesn't bring it back, nor does going into Manage Applications and clicking Force Stop on the status bar.

Has anyone run into this issue and been able to fix it without rebooting?
[Nook Color General] ace7196:
Haven't had the issue in a while (knock on wood), but it always recovered pretty quick (a few seconds later). Have you tried disabling "disable fullscreen"? That seems to have helped out. I found toggling all the buttons in the Tablet Tweaks area fixed a lot of things...
[Nook Color General] supercooling:
I had the same issue yesterday. After playing with WIFI setting several times, the status bar suddenly force closed and was not able to recover. I had to reboot the Nook.
[Nook Color General] Deleted member 3767071:
Same issue here. My status bar will occasionally force close when playing around with one specific widget (Pure Messenger). Sometimes it will come right back and sometimes it doesn't and nothing outside of rebooting will fix the problem.

Has anyone come up with a solution that doesn't require a reboot?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Same, restarts sometimes, other tines it doesn't come back. You could use Hot Restart rather than reboot but otherwise...
[Nook Color General] moSess:
I have experienced thus as well. what's a hot restart?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
App in the market, it's a widget that you tap and it'll offer to "hot restart", ie: Restart Android. It's a little faster than a full reboot.
[Nook Color General] JT75:
You could try adding the open/close status bar shortcut to your homescreen. Long press on home screen->launcher actions->open /close status bar.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I've started using Taker on my NC and I've found every time I open it, Status Bar crashes, and about half the time doesn't come back... Meh.
[Nook Color General] akenis:
Thanks. Which launcher? I had one fc lastnight, but fixed right away by rotating to landscape.
[Nook Color General] JT75:
Sorry I should been more specific I use the stock ADW launcher that comes with cm7.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Doubt that.. It fixes itself sometimes after a few seconds. Other times a reboot is required.
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
The default ADWLauncher has it, although it interacts very strangely with the double-chevron "allow fullscreen" soft-button control (diddles the same API, perhaps?). Just added it, so I haven't had time for a status bar crash since.

Rotating never worked for me, but the "Notification Restart" app worked maybe a couple of times, but hasn't the last few instances.

Dennis
[Nook Color General] fuul4nook:
Unfortunately the status bar show/hide shortcut trick doesn't work if the status bar itself is well and truly gone. So far only a reboot has brought it back reliably.

In other news though, I've recently removed the Elixir widget from my home screen and gone to manually turning on/off the WiFi and that seems to have improved things for me. YMMV
[Nook Color General] stolenmoment:
I just upgraded to n102, no OC, and almost immediately got three instances of the status bar turning invisible, but still working (the screen space is still reserved but blank, the buttons work, you just can't see them), and rotating the screen fixes that problem. Smells like a missed repaint of some kind.

No complete crashes yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hebbe:
hi!

i've been playing around with my galaxy tab 10.1v for about 3 weeks now. and i have to say i really love it! i'm definetely going to sell my ipad. :D

but one thing makes me wonder: samsung has promised a standby time of about 1000 hours! thats more than 40 days and would've been the same than the ipad has. but to me it seems that i'm losing 1% battery power per hour in standby. that means that the battery would just last for about a little bit more than 100 hours (4 days)! it seems to be just a tenth!

do you notice the same? they say the standby time of 1000 hours is with 3g. i'm currently using wifi, haven't got a sim at the moment. but does wifi cost that much power compared to 3g? my ipad had nearly 30 days of standby with wifi turnded on!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] CorrieM:
I feel sometimes this is misleading, the hours on standby. It all depends on what is running on your tablet, like live wallpaper, twitter feeds, facebook, background monitoring services, etc. this will all affect your standby time. Even wifi will have a battery drain on how far you are away from the AP, I guess?

If the company's like Samsung, Apple will publish excatly how they do the tests, we will never know, we have just to "trust" them on their word. :-)

My 2c worth of oppinion.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hebbe:
thanks for your opinion :)

i'm aware of the meaning of "standby", and that it's depending on your devices configuration.

i don't have any widgets on my homescreen, no apps with a massiv power consumption running in the background.

so, if the battery would last, let's say 700 hours in standby, then you could say: "okay, samsung is talking about 1000 hours, i'm having 700, so there's a slight difference, but must be due to my device configuration, so it's allright".

but between 1000 hours and 100, there's a big difference. you know waht i mean? :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bflex:
I hear ya... I also have an 10.1V and while I find battery life sufficient when the tab is used continuously, I also feel that on standby it drops too fast.

I can play ±10 hours with the tab. That is pretty neat. But just laying there it the battery drops way faster than on my Galaxy S. I do use wifi however. I will try and only use 3g and see if that helps!
