[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colmb:
I'm still having the same problem. GE works on my PC and phone on my network wirelessly, but not on the pad. Tried changing the DNS settings onmy router to Google's, but still the same. I did briefly have the chance to try the pad on another wifi network, and GE worked flawlessly.

This still makes me think the fault is with my router or possibly a combination of problems with the pad and the router, rather than with GE but I`ll be damned if I can figure it out.

Workaround: download and install (not from market) Earth 1.2.2.

Not optimized for honeycomb, nor supporting 3d buildings,but it works like a charm (proving yet an other time if necessary that it is not a problem of home network config nor on isp side)

Maybe its an out of the North America issue. The servers outside NA might not support the tablet version of GE. It works fine on my tab here in the US (SF Bay Area) and another poster in Canada said it worked fine.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital.Diablo:
Just wanted to add my tuppence worth - I have the same problem and have done in both 3.0 and 3.1. It just doesn't work on my home network (a 10.x ip range) which gives out the Google DNS servers via DHCP, but does work on others (even using my 3G phone as a hotspot).

I've configured it now to use a squid proxy server on the same lan (with the same settings) and it works perfectly, so I suspect there's a major bug in the network stack within the software which causes it to spaz out. From reading up, its not just our devices which are affected.

Which version is that?

The only Gingerbread friendly swipe version is the one that is in the Double shot port, but it runs SLOW SLOW SLOW.

Anyone have any ideas as how to fix that?

I can attach the APK and Lib File here is someone wants to check it out.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patb8man:
Thanks guys

Thanks for the replies...I am so crippled at typing without swype...its really a shame.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
Dude, You didnt have to take it down, im sure people will still use it.

the problem with the non GB friendly version is you still get the pop up box, which then is blocked by the GB little word grabber things.

For the most part, it is usable, but the correction box is extremely limited in use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawdikrik:
I have like 5 different keyboards on my phone... and i can barely use any of them. I wish i could get the GB swype working better, but right now it is SOOO slow to just come up that it pisses me off.

Might want to invest in a tracext9 or somethign like that. Its in the market. Supposedly better than swype and has a ton of features. I have the earliest version and since it doesnt have an editable dictionary, i cant stand using it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patb8man:
Yeah there is so much bs surrounding swype...I think I will check out tracext9.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
OP,

There are two files you need to just yank out of the original ROM:

1. Swype.apk

2. libSwypeCore.so

Mount /system/lib as r/w, put libSwypeCore.so in it, then change perms back to r/o

Mount /system/app as r/w, put the Swype.apk in there, install it, then change perms back.

OR, you can just signup at http://beta.swype.com/ then download and install their "Installer" and install Swype from it.

EDIT: Honestly, though, I think this one is better: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input

EDIT2: I don't know why others are having problems. I've used Swype on GB (CM7) without any issues at all

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dafunk60:
What do you mean when you say swype isn't working?

What do you mean when you say it isn't working? Does swype FC? Does it not open? Can you type single characters & but not swype a word?

If you can you type single characters & but not swype a word, change your input method to another keyboard and then back to swype. It should work until you reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patb8man:
Nah I am a member and I download the swype installer and it just hangs there at login. I have tried multiple times no luck. I have FlexT9 now its good but not quite swype.

Here is the one from the double shot.

Its made to be used in GB and works well when it does, but it is very slow to pop up sometimes and basically freezes the system when it does that.

Remove the zip extension off the lib file before using it.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MrSkyline:
I have a Beats by dre solo HD with the controlltalk remote in the cable, this also contains a mic, and for some reason it doesn't want to work.

I read that some android phones work with the remote but some don't, the HD2 works with the play/pause button, not with volume and also the mic doesn't work when calling.

I can use the mic in for example google voice search, that works like a charm, but it doesn't work in calls, is there an app that can fix something like that? or is it a simple setting? Or is it simply not possible? :(

I have read through different forums and posts and haven't found a definite way to properly calibrate my battery..i have tried several methods but my battery is still awful...for example, my phone can be at 50% and when i do a normal reboot...my phone is suddenly at 21%??..and it stays at that number for a while...Can i get some suggestions for the best way to calibrate my battery for the epic...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Are you on stock? You are not using quick boot are you? That is a known bug in that app.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
I am on SRF 1.1.1 and when I switched over I did the battery calibration where you charge while on (always to 100%), unplug, charge while off, unplug, charge while on, unplug and then wipe battery stats. I then downloaded and ran the battery calibration tool, ran my battery out and charged to full. It's a monster now. I can really say I'm one of those people who wandered around for an hour randomly doing things and checking my phone as usual and where I would have normally been at 94%, which is fine life after an hour, it just turned to 99% at the 1 hour point. I will keep watching to see if performance is better at first and wanes or what.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Where did you get this battery calibration tool? The market?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I think his issue is the big percentage changes upon reboot which is a bug and not an actual percentage drop. It was especially noted with Quick Boot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Yeah, it's by NeMa and requires root.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Sure, but if he stops using reboot and calibrates his battery settings, won't that fix things?

Edit: poor terminology
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes. But he hasn't come back to confirm or deny this is what he is doing. Not even sure if he is rooted or not. Thanks on the Nema tip. Gonna download it now.

The hardest part is finding what will tun out the battery fastest. I suggest flashlight screen on bright blue with pandora, tunein, and mlb running a live game.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Don't count a reboot and a major change in percentage as horrible battery life. I have been getting that recently because I beta test and when it drops like 40% on a reboot I power down, plug it into a charger, it goes back to where it should be, then I power back on and it is back at the level before the reboot. It is a bug somewhere. As for your normal usage, how many hours do you get on a full charge without any reboots? Users report anywhere from 10 hours to 18 hours with some usage (of course there are a few extraordinary cases out there).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobby2k6:
If I use like the poweruser I am...it lasts about 4 to 5 hours

Are you streaming music or playing mp3s stored on the phone? If you are streaming and the 3G or 4G keeps dropping out it will kill your battery constantly reconnecting.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Does anyone else feel that's it's ridiculous that a "skin" would need 2 cores to run?

I mean really, that's nonsense no skin should need that much power, this is some stupid marketing ploy as usual if you ask me. Phones like the DesireZ, MT4G, DHD,etc can all run 3.0(which has been proven) with no issue. there may be lag here and there, but faux said leaked roms are debugging builds so they tend to be sluggish compared to final versions. I think once the Sensation is released we will have a much faster Sense 3.0 rom for the devs. Gingerbread alone works on all android phones(even armv6) 2 core or not, the issue would be from hTc's bad programming IMHO.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
My general feeling is that HTC's approach to hardware requirements is the same as Microsoft's. If you look at the minimum requirements for Windows 7 and specifically Aero, they're somewhat steep, yet you can run Win7 with Aero with no problem on much lower-powered systems. Of course there's always advantages to more powerful systems, but to say the OS won't run at all or will run poorly on the older stuff is B.S.

I look at HTC's Sense 3.0 requirements the same. No doubt there will be performance advantages on the Sensation compared to the MT4G, but Virtuous Fusion runs so fast and so smooth on the MT4G that I think the performance is well within the range that should be considered "acceptable", and therefore HTC should say the MT4G is Sense 3.0 compatible.

HTC just wants to sell handsets, so it's to their advantage to say the new software won't run on older hardware.

[LG Optimus 2x] Dead Cell:
Hi All

Received my LG 2X today and so far no random reboots or freezes etc except ONE reboot when I tried to install Swype keyboard but that was before I updated to V10D via LG's software update. Hope it stays that way!

Anyway I would like to install a clean Vanila 2.2 or if available a 2.3 ROM but I have never flashed a Android phone before.

I understand I will have to first root my phone which seems easy enough but what do I need to do after that?

And what if I want to go back to the stock LG ROM, is there one availabe or will I have to back it up somehow?

If someone would be please kind enough to provide a step by step guide then I would be most grateful or even just post links to what I need to do/install in the correct order that would be great.

Many thanks. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] eniux:
Hey,

It's actually not that hard :).

First root your phone

Do you have an external sd card in your phone?

If so go to the market and download:

Rom manager> when you open rom manager click the flash button

Make sure you allow superuser :)

When the phone is flashed you can start downloading roms :)

And put them on the external sd card.

Then reboot into recovery via rom manager or reboot the phone during startup using power + vol down

The recovery menu is pretty straightforward.

Make a backup then do a full wipe, on my first install i wiped every thing in the menu with wipe in front of it ;)

After this click install rom from sd card and then find rom on sd card

If something goed wrong you can go back to your backup, so just give it a try

P.s. Damn thats alot of work on the phone to type

@other ppl please tell me if i forgot something ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mjuksel:
About the External SD Card, i could not flash any rom from external..

only from internal SD card..
[LG Optimus 2x] eniux:
I believe thats not possible, if you click something like inatall zip from sd card it should go to ext card?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBAMANIZER:
I have just sold my iPhone and I plan on getting an Android device for under $250 off contract. Two options that caught my eye were the Nexus One and HD2 (not an official Android device I know).

I was wondering if there were any specific advantages of the Nexus One over the HD2? Both seem to have rather enthusiastic developer communities (if I recall correctly, they both received Gingerbread ports on the same day) and the hardware on both are equally as solid IMO. Here are the pro's of each I have gathered so far -

Nexus One

AMOLED display

official Google device (thus more people working on it, faster official updates)

metal construction

notification light trackball

HD2

4.3" display

metal construction

physical buttons

seems to have an enthusiastic modding community in terms of Android ports

can boot Windows Phone 7 as well

Any words of advice?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
HD2 - Better Digitizer and no power button problems.

It really comes down to the screen size and which you prefer. If my Nexus One ever has anything more than the power button fail and an easily hackable 4.3" device has not come out yet and I can get an HD2 for a reasonable price I would get that to hold me over.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBAMANIZER:
So aside from screen size preference and the faulty power button, are there any other advantages/disadvantages of each? I think I would prefer the 4.3" display over the Nexus One's 3.7" given that its LCD is not much worse than the AMOLED.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
The specs are on par with each other, same SOC/GPU, same ram as well, so they are virtually identical spec was.

The only thing I can't speak for is running Android on a non native phone. But judging by the following and the video reviews, I can only conclude it runs the OS just as well as a native device would.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentaaron:
I have both...and love them both. I would say that you could probably end up with a little more in your pocket with the HD2, and if you are here in the USA, you will have a bit more room for app storage with the HD2 without having to resort to using A2SD workarounds

...I have been using the same gingerbread rom on my HD2 now for about 2 months and its super solid.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBAMANIZER:
Indeed. Spec-wise, it is very much the same as its Android and WP7 counterparts. There should be no compatibility issues in that respect. My mindset is that the HD2 is a better phone for me but I've come here to see if there are any real advantages that Nexus One owners have noticed. Perhaps looking forward, the amount of development for it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBAMANIZER:
I couldn't help but notice the phones in your signature. Out of the four, which one would you recommend the most? Those are all in the list of phones I am considering for purchase...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naosuke:
The HD2 has a better touch digitizer, bigger screen, WP7 compatible, more internal memory.

The nexus one has a hardware defect with the touch screen ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsSUqkh8pcI) , it really restricts you from using emulators, or makes playing multi-touch games highly frustrating, and difficult.

I've owned the nexus one since launch, and I really regret not getting an HD2( my friend owns one). Trust me, go with the HD2
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OBAMANIZER:
Thanks for the advice! I believe I will indeed be going with the HD2. I really love the way the hardware looks and feels from a design perspective as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentaaron:
Sorry for the late reply...its hard for me to choose phones, I have more than what is listed in my signature also. I tend to keep going back to my MT4G a lot...it has a good screen size and the phone is not that big...ample storage space for apps and a quick processor. The only thing I hate is the stock rom, but that is easily replaceable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
The HD2 uses the same crappy ass ClearPad 2000 touch sensor used in the N1. So on this point, they are equal.
