I noticed that fast boot on the GB roms gave me issues when booting. Wondering if its a compounding factor of having this turned on. I have not seen a single reboot issue on either Froyo or GB roms and we all seem to be running the same hardware configurations....
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
I really don't think you understand how fast boot works. Fast boot is not bricking anyone.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
All I know is when I have my phone on fast boot and go to shut down, my phone turns off (obviously). However, sometimes the LED light goes completely dark. Upon unplugging and plugging it back in it will come back on but the phone wont turn on when I try. Takes 5-6 attempts and sometimes reboots on the HTC screen.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
That's because you have an app installed that isn't playing nice.

Fast boot is a suspend to RAM like feature. It will not work or function or affect recovery. Bricked phones reboot in recovery.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
So what you are telling me is that fastboot is no longer in the bootloader and cant possibly be a problem?
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
I'm really starting to wonder if alot of these "bricks" are not really bricks and just people not knowing what they are doing?

I know not all, but some of the ones that are bricks maybe were caused by inexperienced users trying to do things they shouldn't be doing without knowing how to do it?

Just my two cents.
[Thunderbolt General] Persiandeity:
I wonder the same thing... I read the post by a very respected Thunderbolt rom maker who made the original 'go back to froyo' post... But I LOOKED and LOOKED through threads trying to find this 'high percent' and couldn't find ones that were people just messing up going to HBOOT and flashing the new baseband/radio... most were trying to flash the new radio through Rom Manager or something else... and eventually found a way out (which isn't a brick) a BRICK is something you cannot get to work ever again, as far as I'm concerned...

so... I'm not sure what the risks are, because I'm not a developer but I have faith in the guy who helps make BAMF rom... I jumped back to froyo (reluctantly) but have a nandroid backup of GB just in case I feel frisky lol

I went to the Pensacola airport, FL yesterday and was super surprised by a sight: "the 3g symbol was showing on my wife's g2"

I've been keeping my n1 using 2g network for over a year now knowing letting the phone looking for an unpresent 3g would kill the battery. I am super super happy to be able to use 3g. Not just 3g, though. H network was on too, well according to T-Mobile, that's their 4g network.

So, the first thing to do when that comes on in front of a techie is testing it lol :

So the average download speed is 976.8 kbps.

The average upload speed is a little bit disappointing : 496.2 kbps.

Average ping is 128.4 Ms.

The host is gridsouth in Pensacola.

Anybody else enjoying their carriers fliiping the 3g switch in their location?

PS: Verizon now does have 4g in Pensacola also!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joel Sjögren:
I have to mod some files in /sbin without root before i can root my phone, since it's currently only booting to cwm without working 'adb root', and since it has got at least one corrupt filesystem.

I've tried searching the mounted filesystems of factoryfs.rfs etc, but without success. Where is it?

Would it be possible to update a non-/system directory through an update.zip file? As said, I currently do not have root.

"What ROM are you on right now.

How come you have CWM but not root?"

I'm currently using XXJP3 without the /media and /app directories(I mounted the factoryfs.rfs on my computer and moved them elsewhere.)

adb root has worked for me earlier, but suddenly, it stopped. Instead i get the

error: device not found

error when issuing adb shell after adb root.

The problem is, I cannot install root or anything else yet because my /system(stl9) partition does not act the way it should.

No factoryfs containing /media and /app can be flashed. I've tried the --repartition flag(with correct .pit-file.)

To work around it, I'm trying to edit a script, located in /sbin, to be run at boot. The script will hopefully allow me to fix the partition with root privileges. In either case, it will be able to write the output to a log file to be read through $-adb shell.

The /sbin boot script would also allow me to use the external sd instead of the internal memory in case the stl9 partition somehow cannot be fixed.

As rooting is no option yet, I need to flash the /sbin directory, but since I can't find it in the rom, I need your help here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Brianps:
I didnt see that this solution had been mentioned, so here's my two cents and sorry if it has already been said.

I've been having this problem of incoming messages with wrong timestamps across a few roms, but only with the stock messaging apps. I've read up on what I could find, and the consensus seems to be that it's a carrier issue. Well I noticed the time on my phone wasn't matching up to the clocks in my house. I took off the option to set the time per carrier, and the messages receive just fine and in the right order now. Looks like the carrier timestamps were correct, and the problem laid in my system clock.

I thought I would let everybody know, just in case you were having the incoming timestamp issue as well.

The problem I see now though is why my clock seems to not keep the right time when the option to update it through the carrier is checked. Is this ROM related?

For a point of reference, I'm running the latest rcmix kingdom ROM, but have seen the issue on others like leedroid and miui.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
This is not an inspire / DHD specific problem. I still haven't heard the cause of this yet, but there are people in North America using Sprint that have confirmed their clocks are wrong also.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smohk:
I'm new to this phone coming from the (facetiously said) jailbroken "God Phone" 3g. I had the option in that phone to switch from 3g to EDGE with a softswitch via SBSettings. I used this quite frequently as 3g coverage in my house is 1 bar and dropped calls. Is there a way to manually switch the Atrix to the EDGE network. I can't figure out the way to do that on this phone. I'm running 1.8.3 jail...errr...rooted with Gingerblur (if any of that makes a difference). I've done searched but I'm not doing it properly I guess so I'm finally asking. Thanx much
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoob8000:
Seems ATT and Motorola don't want us doing that because it's disabled. Every other android I've had has had this ability. And it really annoys me because 3g sucks at my home and office.

I spent an hour on the phone with ATT over this. All I accomplished was wasting my time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
you can unlock that option, go to system\etc\motorola\com.android.phone

open the defaults.xml and change the

<boolean value="false" name="network_select_menu"/> from false to true.

reboot device

you should be able to manually change 2/3g than. I have it working on my att atrix with gingerblur 3.1, however im not on an att network, it still should work for you tho
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoob8000:
Interesting. I made the change and rebooted but that menu is still greyed out. So I looked at defaults.xml again thinking it changed it back, but its still set to true. Hrmm..

sorry for the late reply

in my data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs folder I have 3 files

changed network select menu to "true" on all of them.

also did it under /system/etc/motorola/com.android.phone

defaults.xml

this didn't work for me until I deleted the backup files created by root explorer though. For some reason it was defaulting back to the original files. After I deleted the .bak files (in the data folder) it worked.

It doesn't seem to make a difference I've noticed. (Keep in mind I'm new at this) but I'm pretty sure my icon should change from H to E when I switch to the 2g network (options in network select are 2g, 3g and auto) Am I thinking correctly here? Or does Gingerblur override the icon?

I can confirm this is what it too to unlock the network menu for me as well. Thanks!

FWIW, I believe /system/etc/motorola/com.android.phone/defaults.xml only takes effect with a factory reset. So changing this might not necessarily be needed..

I'm noticing this too without Gingerblur. Setting it to 2G only doesnt seem to change anything. I still show H, and I'm still getting H speeds. :/ I wonder if that setting doesn't make any difference so thats why it was disabled?

I didn't have any luck with this method either, no matter what I set it to, it kept changing back..

Non rooted TF101-B1

I have a PNY class 4 8 gig card. I previously used this in my Nook to boot CM7/HC.

I used Easeus and deleted all of the partitions and created a new one.

I have tried both primary and logical partitions,

I have formatted with Fat32 and I have tried 4k 8k and 32k clusters,

I have turned off my TF and inserted the card,

I have reset my TF to factory,

I can see and read/write to the card from windows with no problems,

The TF does not see it at all!

Since other Micro SD cards are viewable, I can only assume I am missing something with the partition. For the life of me I can not figure out what that is. I'm tired of trial and error. I'm sure it's probably a stupid silly thing I am missing.

Does anyone know what I am missing?

-Expanded Recent Apps list

-Resizeable Home screen widgets

-Support for external keyboards and pointing devices

-Support for joysticks and gamepads

-Robust Wi-Fi networking

-new browser, calendar, contact and email version

etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nlhall:
I just got a brand new Transformer yesterday, turned it on and the first thing it did was ask me to update.

I'm almost certain it was to 3.1, I'll check when I get home tonight, but I have already been using the USB ports on it so it would have to be 3.1 wouldn't it?

I'll let you know once I check the version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] echomatics:
Sweet! That is something to look forward too!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
No - the USB ports on the dock already work with 3.0.1 for many devices, so that isn't an indicator.

Chances are that your update is just the one released earlier this month, because your TF was probably on a boat on its way from China at that point in time! :)

If its a new Transformer, then the update is most likely the Asus Firmware update rather than Honeycomb 3.1 (sorry to bring rain to a parade) :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] newwonder01:
I received mine yesterday, as soon as when I connected to Wifi, I got the update which is 3.0.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
I highly doubt its out next Tuesday. Especially after what Asus stated on Facebook a few days ago about the release schedule.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Could be, actually: there's a French review video showing 3.1 running on a TF. So, if it's far enough along to be sent on a review unit, it could very well be close to release.

I'll say, if they DO release it as early as next week (or even just within the first 10 days or so of June), then I'll be even more impressed with how Asus is supporting the TF so far.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AcidCool2K:
Interesting update notif

This morning when I woke up, the device was kind a slow. I did a reboot. When it came on, I got an triangle icon with ! mark within saying that there is system update avail, click for update kind of thing.

I right away clicked it. It shown as downloading system update something but then it disappeared pretty quick. I went into system info page but not seeing anything news in term of android, firmware, wifi, bluetooth.... Did several force update request but nothing. So that was an interesting event.

Not sure if it was a internal Google update (map, music..) as we have heard several days now or Asus posted the OTA Android 3.1 for a quick test and pulled it out right away or something.

Anyway, leave a note here in case anyone else had it too.

[Epic 4G General] iball8888:
Hey I am going to trade in my evo for an epic 4g. My evo has a crack and I do not really feel like fixing it or trading it in for another Evo, I like trying out new things when I am done with my old one.

My two questions about the Epic:

1. I take my video watching pretty seriously. I take the subway everyday and I spend that time reading rss feeds, reading comics/manga, and watching tv/movies/anime. Lately it seems no matter how hard a try, my evo doesn't like showing movies any more. Any video player I use just lags. I have tried avi and mp4. Especially when playing 720p video it justs lags, didn't do that before. How are people's experiences with video playback? Also the MAIN reason I am choosing the Epic over other Sprint devices is that I heard the Samsung Galaxy phones support mkv natively. Any anime geek would tell you that a large portion of anime being released is in mkv format. It would save me a lot of time if I could transfer them without transcoding. So does the Epic natively support mkv? How does it fare against 720p mkv playback?

2. I just watched a Youtube vid comparison of the Nexus S and the Epic from Phonearena. The video was made in December 2010 and at the time the Epic was still on 2.1. My Evo is on 2.2...I would hate to downgrade. Is there an official OTA for the Epic to go to 2.2...or even 2.3?

Any other comments on the phone?
[Epic 4G General] altimuh:
Yeah there's an official 2.2 update (it's EC05) - 2.3 (latest is EE03) has been leaked from Sprint, and we're hoping that soon we'll get an official 2.3

I really love the phone, and am super happy I got it. My bro has the evo and (call me old school but) I'm happy I have the option to use a physical keyboard. I hardly ever use the touch keyboard - I find it too finicky.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
1. The video playback is superb! The epic has better hardware so you won't experience any lag. Also the epic screen is beautiful. Much more color, and brightness. Your anime won't look like washed colors..

2. There is a leaked 2.3 out (June 20th official?). It's a hit or a miss. But there are 2.2 roms that are ridiculously fast, stable, and battery efficient. Check out the development section.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
*someone correct me if I'm wrong*

Supposedly GB is going to enable GPU acceleration for our processors. I imagine that if there were ever any lag present while watching videos that it would remedy the issue. After rooting and adding a few tweaks the Epic does live up to its name. Out of the box I didn't find it to be anything special however. As a testament to the hardware our phones are actually able to run games that are specially tailored to the dual core Tegra phones.

When you get your phone turn off auto brightness and you can slide your finger along the status bar to manually control it which is a really nice feature. Saves a ton of battery as well.

I watch a lot of fansubs and whatnot on my Epic. Yes, it does natively support MKVs. If your looking to watch them subbed, though, the default Samsung player will not playback softsubs. But thats easily remedied by other apps you can get from the market. Personally, I use an app called mVideoPlayer. It works awesomely.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I am starting to branch out with a friend of mine who has an Evo and studying some on ROM development and app development and since we do a lot of things side by side, I can confirm my Wifi Tether is twice as fast as his on his Evo.

[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I never thought I'd say this, but I love watching video on a cell phone, thanks to the Epic. The screen and internal chips are awesome. HBO go, avi files, YouTube and flash (and Netflix some day officially I hope)--they all work great. This is a cinephile's phone, no doubt.

I'm going to have to agree. I enjoy watching videos of all kinds on my Epic. From MLB to Media Hub and now Netflix. I find myself willing on paying for content thanks to the Epic. I'm guessing its only going to get better when the galaxy s2 comes out.
