[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfeen809:
As we all G2 went thru @ the beginning of the G2 launch date, tons of reboots plagued us G2 users. However after I have gotten the new replacement phone, they have suddenly disappear never had a reboot since a week, this is very suprising because all the G2s I've have had reboots the first day of using them. Do you really believe reboots are a software issue and that updates can fix them like tmo and htc claim? Because I really thinks its BS the first G2 that I did the update right after I turned it on with the update seconds of navigatin thru the homescreen the phone rebooted!

Hmmm never had a reboot, maybe i'm just lucky :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfeen809:
LOL since I got my last replace almost 2 weeks ago I never had a reboot either and I give my phone heavy use daily so you would expect to notice reboots. To be honest I thinks its the phone with problem if it reboots, because no update or mastereset fixed that on my other previous G2s, I have already 8 replacements and this one is definately worth keeping only one stuck pixel on the very upper left near the corner, you can't notice it. Whereas all my other g2s had 3+ stuck pixels scattered around the screen, the most I saw was on my second replacement with 6 stuck/dead pixels scattered everywhre

[Xperia Play General] magicriggs:
Coming from a thunderbolt, and just wanna say hey! I have my xperia play and i love it.
[Xperia Play General] onveiledwings:
Do you like it as well as your Thunderbolt or previous phones. I have a rooted and flashed Droid X. I am really looking into the Play because I've always loved games and Sony as well. I also cant wait for Minecraft. It is coming to the Play first and I think the hardware buttons would make it easier to play all sorts of games. What is your take on it all
[Vibrant General] bongholio:
I TRIED EVERYTHING the phone will NOT get into download mode... i forgot my got damn password to my gmail and now i cant even activate the phone.. i found out i can use odin3 but the thing is no matter what i do it will NOT go into download mode
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Pull battery. Plug phone and computer using usb cable. Hold both volume up and down. Insert battery. Works everytime unless of course you flashed i9000 boot loaders in which case only hold either up or down.
[Vibrant General] bongholio:
i tried everything and all i can get it into is recovery mode and thats.. this phone is stock and not even rooted..
[Vibrant General] bongholio:
do i need anything else installed other trhan samsung drivers?
[Vibrant General] bongholio:
how come it can boot into recovery mode but not download mode? i have takin the battery off plug it into to my comptuer hold vol + and down and put the battery in and still nothing half the time it will boot into recovery and thats about it...
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Do this + try tapping the menu key and or the home key while holding down the other buttons.......... there is a timing trick to this but one of these will work . Also in Q & A S14274N Noob bible has all the other ways check it out.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
as a last resort u can always get a usb jig to get u into download mode!
[Vibrant General] bongholio:
thanks, but it still wont get into download mode =\
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
as i said before u may need to get a usb jib and order one online to get into dl mode!!
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
If thats red recovery, voodoo, then go down to voodoo and in there should be reboot to download mode.

If its not there or you dont see red then search in recovery as some have dl mode. Also if you have adb set up on your computer and you can get to recovery then in command line type adb reboot download.
[Vibrant General] romitkin:
Try this:

Take the battery out and put it back. Then you should hold both volume keys while plugging the usb cable to the phone. Don't release the keys until download mode appears.
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
maybe ur hardware locked? s thats why u cant get into dl mode!
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
What ROM are you running?

If you are completely stock, then use Kies to update to the latest official stock ROM, this will fix your 3 button issue via a SBL fix.

I love the SBL fix.

my phone(tmo g2,rooted running extrahotsauce rom) is flashing the green and orange lights now that its charging...the battery was fine and i was doing a backup using clockword mod recovery and once that occured i rebooted,then rebooted again into recovery and from then on the phone hasn't turned back on. i put it on charge at first and no light,left it on for a bit and now there's green and orange led lights blinking continuosly,any one know the cause? and more important, the solution? any help would be much appreciated, thanks

someone posted in the evo 4g forums saying the phone was overheating? doubt that was the issue. but now that it isn't working,i am hoping it is
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazy:
Turned on but kept shutting down on its own,somehow got it into clockwork mod recovery,wiped data and cache(after backing it up), wanted to install the mexdroid rom and the phone shut off again at the end of the wipe,now it just turns on at the htc screen.

when i hold volume+power and get to the boot screen,it wont let me scroll up and down using volume,instead it automatically just tries to update.

stuck at htc screen,just wanna try to restore my phone,any help would be great. thanks and sorry for being such a damn noob
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
Do you have a pc10img on your sd card? If so, you need to get that off of there to get into recovery. Also, it sounds like something is seriously wrong with the battery and you should replace it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazy:
found it,its a zip file right? it wont let me delete it though,is there a certain way to do it?

i have a spare battery,just cant seem to locate it at the moment, might need to buy one if i can't find it soon

nvmm figured it out,lets try it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazy:
OMG you are the greatest,its working so far...do i need to put the pc10img back on the sd card in order to install a rom or no?well it wouldn't get to the recovery screen with it on the sd card,sorry i need to get some sleep

NVM,i left pc10img off of the sd card installed the rom,but it wouldn't start,just stayed at the htc screen. I put that file back on the sdcard and it's still just stuck at the white htc screen, know what the issue might be? i have a custom boot animation in there,would that matter?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazy:
when i get to the boot screen,it says, s-on at the top,is that why?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
If you're s-on then you're not rooted or at least truly rooted, like if you did a temp root with visionary. I would suggest finding the tmo post ota ROM in the development section dated from December, it'll be a PC10IMG, and rooting that with gfree from the wiki. When you have done all that, install ROM Manager from the Market. When you open the app click "Flash Recovery"and you'll be ableto install ROM's from ClockworkMod recovery.

I apologize if you already know some of this stuff, but you sound a bit confused. Hope this helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazy:
no need to apologize,you're only helping. i told my friend about the issue, and he reccomended a thread on xda that explains how to turn s-off(and root/unroot). it had been rooted, but yeah like you said it was temp rooted using visionary. ill try these methods and post results. thanks alot
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazy:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=890827&highlight=[Guide]+How+to+Root

so that's the link he sent to me, i was skeptical but still went through with it and yet it still says s-on...i need a guide to show me how to fix just that.

i've never used gfree or wiki,nor do i know how or what of them. is there a thread you can direct me to? ill look for it myself but i think if you were to find it,you'd be able to direct me to the right one since im sure there are multiple threads and you seem to know what's happening and what you're doing
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazy:
ok so i've tried 5 different methods and nothing seems to result with s-off for me. do i need to unroot and reroot?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingpongg:
i know this thread is old but i just got a referb g2 for my wife and it had this same problem. i found this somewhere else and it actually worked:

try taking out the battery and unplug the charger. then press and hold the power button for roughly a min. Then put the battery back in and press the power button. It should work. it worked for me.

i had tried holding the power button for almost a minute with the battery still in with no luck. doing it this way with the battery out worked though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
Hey everyone, I'm new here to the forum and have had my EVO for about 6 months now. First things first, I have searched quite a bit and havent really found problems specific to mine on here or google. Maybe I am just not searching for the right thing so bare with me please. A few months after I got it, I started realizing the 3g would take a long time to respond sometimes. For example, I would type in a web address and hit go and the 3g icon on the status bar would not do anything for sometimes up to 1 minute causing the browser to display (page not found). Other apps that require internet do this as well. One day I decided to do a factory reset and the problem went away. After a few weeks, it came back so i did another reset and fixed it. Now back to the same old problem. Finally got tired of doing resets so I'm trying to find out the real solution to the problem. I constantly clean the cache. Previously I did it manually, but now I use cache cleaner which seems to do a good job. I have also tried speed boost lite which doesnt do a bad job either but uninstalled since i like cache cleaner better. Profile and PRL updates help only for a short time even though it didnt really update after checking software versions. I've taken the phone to sprint, they've checked it out, said its fine, and that 10-30 seconds is normal and nothing to complain about. Maybe that would be the case if it was NORMAL but it is not. Has anyone heard of this or have any ideas to fix it? Sorry for all of the reading but if you have any advice at all, it is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Cameron

Well there 3g service is down the drain right now and the lack of good ping could be the reason so my guess is 3g sucks it happens to my evo a lot so I use wifi and 4g when I can

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
Thanks for your reply. I'm am happy with the 3G most of the time. At my house, it is almost as fast my wifi (no i dont have slow internet at home either lol). I have no problem streaming HQ Pandora, youtube, and netflix in crystal clear quality on 3G. It is not the network, it is an issue with the phone, a setting, or an app that is causing the problem. If I was to factory reset the phone right now, the problem would go away. I just dont want to reset it anymore and have to reinstall everything. Time to try to figure out the real problem and stop taking the lazy way around
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesarcerros31:
That is weird could be your phone you could back up your apps with titanium backup and restore away or try to unroot then reroot

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
i just reset, I did forget to mention in the OP that i am not rooted. Haven't gotten the balls to do it yet. I haven't found a good thread to read up on to root yet. Not that i've been looking that hard. I would like to root very soon though
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesarcerros31:
Best way to root I think is unrevoked you need a computer but its easy as pie there are also guides on YouTube

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
ya i tried that before but every time i try something goes wrong and i cant do it. Even when i follow videos my phone just doesnt do the same thing as theirs for some reason. lol who knows
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
Just for ****s and giggles I gave it another go on rooting with unrevoked. Actually got it this time. I have no clue what happened last time. Went smoothly this time. So just basic root, nothing fancy. All i really wanted out of the root was wireless tether. Still want to figure out the unresponsive 3G issue though before it happens again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesarcerros31:
Glad to hear your on the dark side (rooted) you can learn a lot just by being rooted

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
Ya its nice so far but the reset did not fix the unresponsive 3G. Ugh its so annoying! Nobody has any ideas?!

Flash your first rom and do a nandroid

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] un42N8 0N3:
I'm not having the 3g issue now. Internet seems much faster on this rom
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
Am I the only one who thinks it kinda sucks? Sometimes it's really snappy and fast, and once the page has loaded scrolling is really quick. However a lot of the time it seems worse to me, especially the xda site. Text input is abysmal now (not just xda) so slow, and much worse than 3.0.1. Other bugs include no backspace in text boxes, not being able to click on links, font rendering a bit blurry when not zoomed in, and keyboard randomly getting stuck on caps.

Is it just me? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] acomiskey:
Not just u...it sucks. Such a shame as everything else is great. Text randomly not appearing in text boxes....pages not loading entirely...slow text input from dock...most annoying may be links not highlighting which leaves u guessing where u tapped. Hope a fix comes soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewingr:
I've actually been finding the one on the stock build a but bad too.

How about other browsers?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tone503773:
You can't complain too much because you have to remember that 3.1 isn't officially out yet
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
Yeah, I just noticed my keyboard lags REALLY badly when trying to reply to posts on XDA. That got much worse. Haven't tried any other sites or different keyboards yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
I hate how the page redraws images when you scroll.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tone503773:
Are you using asus' default keyboard? Because I know that keyboard is laggy so I use the Android keyboard

Edit: and I may not know what I am talking about because I have not been on the xda website I just use the xda app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
I was hoping that they improve the speed on the browser in 3.1 but look feels the same like in 3.0. Pages takes a long time to load. Typing is a pain in the ass even with the android keyboard. Surfing and running playerpro is very slow. Opera mobile seems to be the fastest browser ive tested so far, but the font is way tooo small and theres no way to increase it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ravynmagi:
I was using the ASUS keyboard. And I had some lag with it before, but it was never anything as bad as this.

I just switched to the Android keyboard. It's just as bad with that keyboard too.

I tried on another forum and it seemed normal. So it might just be this forum. The browser has never liked it anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
i posted this in the other thread. there are lots of browser issues with this. ill stick with it because there are lots of other improvements, but i doubt this update as is will be released to the public this week.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] howarmat:
i didnt find that many speed issues. i was using flex T9 keyboard though. I will test tomorrow some more but i was thinking the browser had some nice improvements especially with the "quick controls"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewingr:
I've seen that the thumb keyboard is quite popular. Wonder how it is working with this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pacifik:
I like thumb kb a lot, lot of good settings.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mazgaoten:
Thumb keyboard has sped up since 3.1, at least for me, it flies now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilx:
Xda is bad on my PC, so maybe its the website.windows 7 using Firefox. Delay is bad alot of the time
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FletchGeek:
I agree that Thumb keyboard is blazing fast now. There was an update to version 4 a couple of days ago so I'm not sure if that was the reason for the speed increase or Honeycomb 3.1, but it is very responsive now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
I normally use Tapatalk to access XDA, But I'm using thumb keyboard to post this reply on the XDA website directly - there is a little lag, but not too much.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] billownz:
Forums in general suck on honeycomb. I gave up entirely and just use the xda app.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
I wish you folks wouldn't call it 3.1, because the official 'propper' 3.1 isn't released yet.

Whaat you've got is 3.02 or something found by a cleaner at asustech in the garbarge bins on a CD, they then uploaded it to the web and called it '3.1 leak' and you've all fallen for it! you then all come on here and start winging about, your gullibility is laughable :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
Is that supposed to be a joke? It is most certainly 3.1.

In response to other posts, I'm also using thumb keyboard but still get a lot of lag, only in browser though so it's not a keyboard issue. Engadget said the browser took a massive hit in JavaScript performance with this update so maybe that's why. I'm thinking this isn't the final build so I'm looking forward to the official ota.

Like others have said though, even though the browser is worse in some regards the improvements in other areas of the rom make it worth sticking with :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
The forums have always been slow, i switched to classic view on xda web pages, which improves things a lot.

The browser in 3.1 seems quicker, the side touch options have been altered a little, but i have lost the tabs for each open window and dont see an option to get them back, but over all it seems better and so far less FC's are happening, which is good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
I didn't know about the classic view! Just switched to it and it is much faster so thanks for that.

For the quick controls you mentioned, you now have to change tabs through the quick controls instead of the tabs at the top of the browser. I used quick controls in 3.0 but don't really like them in 3.1, I find the improvments made on the rest of the browser UI make up for this though :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
I will get used to selecting the different pages through the quick controls, i like the quick controls, thanks for confirming tabs have been removed :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
I tried 3.1 on the xoom on a demo unit and scrolling with the 2010 theme worked beautifully; it was no longer a slideshow. I didn't try inputting any text though.

is it really still bad on 3.1 on the tf? I wonder if moto did some tweaks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wackadroid:
What u r all experiencing is quite common with android users. Its called a PBCAT error. Problem Between Chair And Tablet. To fix it I would recommend turning off the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tenny:
My biggest problem has been when I click a link... nothing happens. It has been pretty common on 3.1 compared to 3.01. It happens all the time on my Evo 4g also.

I'm using thumb keyboard and from time to time I notice lag, but not too bad.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Itaintrite:
Heh, I wonder if Asus purposely leaked this release to some unknowing guinea pigs (us) ;P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Using the thumb keyboard right npw and there less lag when posting on this site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Thumb keyboard is awesome ...... Really good layout and functionality....... If you don't have it ...... I'd very much recommend it....... Happy typing :b
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Hahahah then I'm happy I got the official release today :b
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
where do you select classic view for xda?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david84us:
On the left corner at bottom of the page, you will see xda 2010, click on he box, then you will have another option which is xda classic view.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fone_fanatic:
I'm pretty sure this is the build they released to media/press/bloggers a couple of days ago to do reviews and generate hype.

They posted a facebook update on Sunday 11PM (CST) with the following

with a link to anandtech.com's review

but seeing as how Asus has requested many people to remove link's to the rom, they could be reading these posts and conducting a few minor fixes (considering they already announced it is set to be rolled out today 5/31).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ivan.volosyuk:
I finally installed Opera (the version with larger package size) and it works nice and text input works fast.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] case0:
Other issues I've noticed..

Sometimes back doesn't work, it just reloads the page.

Sometimes when you press a link it opens in a new tab instead of in the window (links which would normally open in the same window).

Very annoying :(

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genaro:
Hi There!

I have a problem and the problem is that i have a mini keyboard which I think is called freedom bk-600 and I have a Samsung Galaxy tab as my mobile phone.

My big problem is that I want to get connected my Samsung Galaxy tab with this keyboard but it is totally impossible to connect them.

Have searched everywhere on the internet but there are many questions and little answers out there so it seems that there are many who have the same problem.

So now I'm just wondering if there is any possibility that you guys could help me me with my big problem.

It seems like I'm missing a driver because I have paired these two devices but I can not write with the keyboard.

if there is no possibility to help me, I gone threw the keyboard because I have no use for it any more when it can not be used with android

best regards

Genaro
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyveafk:
You've paired it, have you selected to use that keyboard in the settings?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genaro:
yes and that's what I do not understand because I know I'm doing everything right but it's like the keyboard does not speak with galaxy tab.

Now I found a page online that says that this keyboard spoke a language called ssp and not hid.

I tried out 2 driver software for my cell phone with no luck, one called Blue Keyboard JP and the other called keypro speaking (HID language).

I just do not know what to do with this problem anymore ...
