[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
99/100 Times I find random reboot issues to be a direct result of installing either poorly coded bloatware from the market or a totally good app conflicting with the system.

I may be wrong - but I would recommend uninstalling any crapware you may have added, I find downloading a copy of ATK just to see what apps you have installed are aggressively restarting themselves and consider removing/freezing those user added apps before trying to download a huge ota update package.
[Acer Iconia A500] SamXp:
I haven't had the chance to install very many apps just yet, but the few I did were pretty mainstream apps. I nursed the download last night and managed to get it to update OTA, though. It seemed to download faster when there was web activity so I surfed the web for about 45 minutes and it completed.

MUCH more stable in 3.1 now! I had some keyboard lag that seems to have gone away, as well. It hasn't shut down randomly, either. Time will tell if 3.1 was the answer to that problem for this tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Congrats!

I purchased my a500 shortly after US release and was nothing but disappointed with 3.0.1 - keyboard lag was out of control, web browser was shutting down randomly quite often, and flash performance was pretty bad in browser. Not to mention the sleeps of death and frustration with trying to get the system to wake with a unresponsive screen.

3.1 is much better - i still get an occasional random browser crash, but not with any real frequency.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
i don't know what sites you are navigating to, but i never had a browser crash. don't forget browser crashes can be caused by sever things "java, flash, any other addins or addons)". so if you have a site wich crashes your browser, put the URL in your post so someone can have a look at it.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Could not agree more.

I get a random browser shutdown once in a while (very rare, once every few days) - but with full flash and Java support a random crash once in a while is pretty much expected.

Post the site that is causing your issues so we can take a look at it :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Drakosha:
Hello.

This is a little guide to all (misfortunate) owners of SE LiveView device. With the help of

this topic

, I gathered here all the information needed to solve every connection issue with HD2 Android.

I really think this should be added to the FAQ. This simple guide changes everything about LiveView experience! So, I'd like to summarize here all the steps for correcting issues, which, by the way, SHOULD have been corrected by SonyEricsson much earlier. :(

Below is a small guide for turning LiveView from nerve-bending hell spawn to incredibly useful device. Root is

required

.

(assuming your phone has CM7 or factory Gingerbread - here I'm using HD2 + AmericanAndroid CM7 2.3.4)

1) Update LV firmware to the latest one

2) Install from the market "LiveView Application 1.0.A.0.18" ONLY,

do not install

"LiveWare Manager"

3) Install your favorite plugins

4) Install from the market "Minfree Manager" and set "Secondary server" memory limit to 8 - 10mb (this will help LV App to stay activated all the time)

5) Insert "LiveView Application 1.0.A.0.18" to ignore list of all automatic task killers like "ES Task Manager" or "Auto memory manager"

6) Put LV into discovery mode and pair it to your phone. BT window will say "Paired but not connected", that's correct.

7) Using Root Explorer, apply

the incredible patch

from Fivef (this seems to be needed only for non-Sense 2.3.x ROMs - looks like Sense in 2.2 builds allows LV to connect without confirmation)

8) Find in the market & install the BEST Android program I've seen yet - "AutomateIt!"

9) Create the following rule in this program:

TRIGGER: BLUETOOTH DEVICE CONNECTED (LIVEVEW)

ACTION: START APPLICATION (LIVEVIEW)

Using this incredible program, you can completely control every aspect of your phone's behavior - for example, automatically start PlayerPro and disable WiFi when wired headset is connected, automatically start WiFi when GPS detects that you have entered your home or office (!) and do million other cool things.

By now, LiveView is set to operate completely by itself - no matter, what state is your phone in the moment, just switch the watch "on" and in a second it's connected. No more manual start of LV app, countless disconnects and unnerving connect confirmations. In fact, LV is starting to work better than SE MBW-150 used to work on WM6.5!

I suggest adding this to the FAQ, so that newcomers wouldn't have to search for days (like I had to...)

Best regards,

Draco.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] genie360:
Thanks for this! just tried it and it seems to be working awesome with my Atrix!

Appreciate it! Now my Liveview is somewhat more functional... now if only I could get a full day of bat out of it...

hi, opal cooker ... :)

after trying several times, I could not create a splash screen:)

I would ask if you could post your splash screen, perhaps in the format. cab in order to install them on my phone, because I hate the default splash screen :)

(the orange screen with the windows mobile white logo)

thanks in advance :)

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] zofox:
oh yes, i've already seen it, and i'm currently using one of them. but it isn't what i was searching for :)

I'm trying to find a start up animation (like the animation of windows 7, for an example ).

I remember that in your rom ( i can't remember which) there was something like that :)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] mehulkarate:
ohhhh...

you mean startup animated

see this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=587867
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] zofox:
yess this.... but when I install the custum black animation nothing changes :(
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] zofox:
i found a solution.....

i noticed that before installing the cab, in the registry hklm\software there isn't the folder "windows", but after the installation it appears.

also I've found the directory under hklm\software\microsoft\ the folder is called "splash screen" I tryed to overwrite the files in the "splash screen" with the files conteined in the folder "windows" and it works, now i can see the splash screen, but not the animations....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so i found the folder "htc animations" but before the installation this folder doesn't exists.

I've searched under the folder hklm\software\htc and I found a folder called startup animations which contains 5 files:

(defoult)

Enabled ----> it was setted on "0" and i changed it to "1"

GIFFile ----> there wasn't a locations so i setted it to \windows\animated.gif

volumn ----> i left the defoult setting

wavfile ----> i left the defoult setting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now it works but the animations is too fast how i can change it??

is there a way to eliminate the splash screen and keep only the animation??? :)

What are people using for tethering since root isn't available yet?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Ive used the method described in the following thread. The best part about how it works is that it offers infrastructure mode, so I can tether my Galaxy Tab without any problems.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079340

Note: See post #6
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drewcam888:
I heard that doing the ##778 edit causes a loss of phone data while tethered to the PC. Meaning data on the phone is dead but the pc has data. Is this true? After the edit do you just use the stock 3g mobile hotspot app?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Meltdown03:
Yes it's true, I've tried it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drewcam888:
But do you lose data on the phone while tethering? Also do you use the stock vzw app?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
The answer to both questions is yes. I actually hadn't noticed it before but on my Dinc2 the signal meter only shows 1X instead of 3G when I activate the hotspot option. I guess I don't find that all too terrible as the only time I'm tethered I'm either using my tablet or my laptop.

Once the change is made, the hotspot app functions like it would if you were subscribed to the service.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drewcam888:
What why would you do the hack if you only get 1x when tethering, that would be crazy slow.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
Oops, My mistake. It appears my earlier reply was a load of crap!

3G is still clearly visible with hotspot enabled. Just ran a speed test on my Galaxy Tab. Downloads ranged from 473-329kbps with uploads between 303-193kbps.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drewcam888:
So just to clarify. You did the following edits.

-in edit mode you will open 'security' and 'm.ip default profile' in turn. each time you look for the only entry containing "dun", as in:

<your actual phone number>@dun.vzw3g.com

edit out the "dun." so it looks like

<your actual phone number>@vzw3g.com

And you then use the stock 3g mobile hotspot app. After you enable the hotspot can you browse using the phone also? Or does internet on the phone stop working.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jesand83:
I think you're right, clarification is certainly in order.

Yes I simply removed dun from both of those locations and now use the standard, VZW included, hotspot app.

The phone cannot access the internet while tethering is enabled. Certainly a sacrifice, but from what I've seen so are the apps available with a rooted device which from my understanding cannot create an infrastructure hotspot, only ad-hoc.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drewcam888:
Yeah the phone data loss kinda is a downfall. But I have an infrastructure connection with wireless tether on incredible 1 just for your info. Some apps are lucky and give good connections. well loss of data is probably a sacrifice I will make. thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AliceBToklas:
Seems to me that the only time this would really matter is if you're sharing your connection with friends while still using your phone for data. Is there something I'm missing? I can see it being a minor annoyance but something I'd personally never run into.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brocksdad:
Just so you know...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I'm just amazed it's taken the carriers as long as it has on this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PearlMikeJam:
If the detection is at the app level (unauthorized), like the article suggests, the hack may still be under the radar for the time being since folks are probably using the authorized app pre-installed on their phone.

Forget those MagicCard things.

I even tried a 28th Prototype.

None of them worked.

One bad thing: The battery drainage jumps from 1mA - 5mA to unbelievable 33mA - 37mA (+/-) on idle.

Hi, thanks for your post. I also have MagicSim wich is CRAP.. not working on my DHD, and on older SonyEricsson the phone just reboots infinite.. :(

Im a little afraid of giving this much money for Simore but I hope its working.. have you solved the batery drainage problem maybe with different kernel or rom?

(also be shure to disable auto switching the sim-s :P)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKebapp:
Nope. Battery Drainage still remains.

I've tried CM7 and Sense ROMs and all Kernels that are available.

Different Radios aswell...

No Chance.

I've also written to the Simore Support a few times.

But they always answered with some marketing blubber and never answered to my questions.

I wouldn't recommend them after all, but there is also no alternative...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ookami614:
Would it be possible to run this beast on AT&Ts network?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kirdroid:
Yes, but you won't get 3g speeds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] psn1819:
I heard that it is possible for at&t 3G ..but I think it would be a result if the merger goes through or not
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
As of right now, not possible for 3g data. The phone doesn't have the baseband but there is a group that thinks the phone actually supports Att 3G but is locked down until the merger goes through. Would make sense that Tmo would keep it locked in order to maintain customers as long as possible.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
I am totally hoping that ATT comes in, forces a massive switch to their network, and then allows everyone to update their phones inside of the current contracts.

I would get the G2x, keep it as a wifi machine or sell it on Ebay, and be able to get the Galaxy SII for the low contract price.

I want ATT to take over the towers, and give all the old users new hardware to work within the ATT system. And the T-Mobile data costs locked in. Great deal for everyone.

One thing for sure, if ATT comes in, they have to give the same 4G (3.5G++ or whatever you want to call T-Mobile 4G) service to all the G2x owners...one way or the other.

Heck if ATT is not able to finish the purchase they need to pay up 6 billion in penalties. A bunch of new phones to existing user, going out a new contract prices, is easy. Plus ATT has way more solid coverage in my area.

I went with the G2x hoping that it would become an orphaned phone in the ATT world....gets me a new piece of hardware on the cheep
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sentinel79:
I agree with this. If AT&T forces people into having crippled phones without offering heavily subsidized replacements on their new network then surely there will be an outcry ... with that said we could be getting a great upgrade deal for getting the shaft (but this would be nearly 2 years down the road so its sort of win win)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
Uhhh i guess you want plan costs to go through the roof. No one wants this merger to succeed. Tons of tmobile plans will disappear
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Several upcoming phones for Tmobile support AT&T 3G bands and it is quoted in several sources that "the bandband for AT&T will be locked until the merger goes through".

AT&T is putting up a pretty big wager guaranteeing it would go through. I don't see why it wouldn't. Sure AT&T would be the only major GSM carrier in the US but there is still plenty of competition (Verizon). Plus larger cities have their own local cell carriers.

They probably would also be subject to leasing out their frequencies to companies like Cricket and Boost Mobile, that piggy back off other carriers towers.

I personally think it is a good idea because there is only so much frequency bandwidth for GSM and having to split it up among different groups creates problems. Not all area's have all the frequencies but once the merger goes through, phones would support all and would be able to connect to anything. This means more signal and bandwidth for everyone.

Sure I dislike AT&T but I did like their service (back before the iFone). It then became over crowded and I couldn't use it at my house. For travel, AT&T > Tmobile. At home, where I am most of the time, Tmobile>AT&T. If they combine, it will be the best of both worlds.

My TF started an odd behavior in the last couple of days. For some reason it reboots after it's been asleep for an extended period (maybe an hour or so). Info:

I initially had the sleep screen of death, where it wouldn't wake up from sleep without a hard shutdown and reboot. To fix that, I disabled the lock screen and disabled the screen shut off while idle. I also have the wifi set to off while sleeping. Now, while sleeping after about 30 mins or an hour, it will just reboot. I just happened to look over and catch it rebooting this morning. I did a search about it, no one seems to have reported something like this.

Hopefully 3.1 will fix it.

Had mine for a week. I love it but: it updated to 3.1 pretty well straight away and now some days it will go into a sleep reboot loop. The evidence is clear in the ramdump.log files which are, I guess, generated each time this happens. it will reboot every 3 or 4 minutes.

I did a factory reset. It still happens so I don't think it is related to any particular app. I need to know if there is a solution. Is this 3.1 related and likely to be fixed in 3.2? Do I have a faulty unit? :confused::mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geesamsungs:
Hello to whoever's reading.

I had flashed to a stock 2.3.3 Gingerbread using ODIN a while ago and decided I no longer wanted it due to zero 3G internet connection (mobile phone calls and sms' were fine, had KOR in firmware details, don't know why), so I downloaded the I9000DTJG4 2.1 FW which is the stock Optus firmware provided with the SGS handsets purchased from Optus outlets.

I flashed the I9000DTJG4.tar and the 512.pit using ODIN no problems. I am now trying to upgrade to 2.2 Optus Official Firmware using Kies 2.0 but it said that my phone was up to date, so I uninstalled 2.0 (will explain why in a second) and installed the Kies that came with the handset in the CD (version 1.5.1.10062_7), and this is the following problem I get:

I was following this thread to trick Kies into thinking that my phone was on 2.1 (which it actually is, don't know why Kies won't let me upgrade) - http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1537182 - which is why I installed Kies 1.5.1, however this also doesn't work.

What can I do to get 2.2 Official Optus Firmware on my i9000 through Kies?

Kies 2.0 advices my current firmware information is as follows:

PDA:JG4 / PHONE:JG3 / CSC:JG1

This version of the device cannot be updated.

My phone says the following:

FW: 2.1-update1

Baseband: I9000DTJG3

Kernel Version: 2.6.29 root@SE-S604 #2

Build Number: ECLAIR.DTJG4

Is there no other option but to download Optus' 2.2 FW from samfirmware? (EDIT - I can't find it lol!)

Thanks in advance.
