[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbowens:
There seems to be several people, previously including myself, who were or are having great difficulty flashing either custom kernels or roms that include custom kernel's. Some can't flash anything with a custom kernel in it, while others can flash one or two, but not all. The failed attempts often result in either freezing at or right after the LG screen at boot. I had previously had no trouble on my droid eris with custom kernels, so I found it hard to believe that it was simply due to me not following the correct procedure. Nonetheless, I sought help from various sources, and tried any number of methods to get a kernel to flash correctly. None of these methods worked, and I began to suspect that those of us having difficulties may have a hardware issue. I have since acquired a replacement g2x from t-mobile, and attempted to flash a kernel using the exact same methods I had done in the past. The kernel booted up perfectly, and I am able to flash any kernel I want with relative ease, using the same exact methods that failed on my previous handset.

I'm not going to say that everyone who can't successfully flash a kernel has a hardware issue; there's a good chance some are just incorrectly flashing it. However, if you have read up on the correct process, and are still unable to get a custom kernel to flash, you may be having the same issue I had, in which case you'll need to decide how important custom kernels are for you. If you decide you really need them, you may need to consider swapping your current handset for a new one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
When flashing kernals, the phone may or may not support it due to the chip that's inside. Although everybody has a 1ghz dual core Tegra2 chip, all are not 100% the same. At stock settings everybody's chip will be able to handle the 1ghz, some that could OC to 1.5, maybe even more. Sorta just comes down to if you are lucky enough to get a chip that can handle all the stuff you throw at it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbowens:
The problem isn't in regards to not being able to handle a higher clockspeed, its in flashing a custom kernel in the first place. Some of the custom kernels and roms still come originally set at the normal clockspeed of 1ghz, yet those suffering from this problem, including myself, are still unable to load them. If it were a problem with the chip just not being able to handle being oc'd, then it should still be able to load, just not be oc'd with whatever program you're using (ie pimpmycpu).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
I got a replacement as well, this one flashes correctly.

Odd how we both had the same issues and folks kept insisting it was us not wiping and/or installing these roms and kernels correctly ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
So the only fix for this issue is doing a replacement?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
For me it was. I flashed every possible combo, nothing worked on my old g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Drakon911:
My vote is for hardware issue. I was unable to flash any of the AOSP ROMs or kernels until I got my phone exchanged for the many other problems.

Now I have flashed them with no problem at all.

Still not happy with the phone overall but it's too late to return it.
[Defy General] mat7bit:
ok my defy needs a wipe, I have too many crash with too many app. Now I running cm7 rc0, great rom but I'm having problems with gallery and camera (green lens). What you recommend? Keep cm7 (I love the extra function of this rom) or try miui? I never try the last one, so I don't know if it give me the same addon of cm7... and also, with miui I should have the same problem with camera? I didn't read anything like camera bugs on miui...

(ok many grammar errors but I wrote too fast and I hadn't time to think, sorry :) )

thanks to all

I just bought this DROID x and left the htc incredible I had. I had the incredible rooted and used titanium backup. I copied the titanium file to my computer and fat32 ed my sd card. Im now using that card in my X. If I root could I load that file onto the sdcard and get my apps back without having issues? Or should I turn on my old phone and just redownload everything. Also im on the offical gingerbread release.

Alright, so this has been bothering me first some time now.

When I go to my music app, I've noticed a bunch of my songs being labeled under "Unknown Artists".

Now, it never use to do this so I don't really understand how it happened.

I checked my SD card and everything in Root Explorer to see if there was any data corruption, but everything looks normal.

Has anyone had this problem before? What would you guys recommend? Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Another weird thing: I try to go to change the tags so I can put in the correct artist, but the Tag already shows the correct artist. The library just displays it as "Unknown Artists"

This has appeared on multiple music apps btw
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
The tags on the song aren't done correctly. Happens a lot on torrented music.

Download any of the countless album art/ artist finder apps and fix it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] || Acer ||:
Well, I don't know. The tags USED to work, and app finders are led to believe the tags are correct except in any Music App.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr8o3st:
I'm having the same problems. I spent a few hours making sure all the tags were right using media monkey and still, my epic does not pick up the artists. picks up album art, albums, song names just fine. I think it may have something to do with iTunes. I used iTunes and converted all my music to m4a's (iTunes AAC format) and I read somewhere else that the android uses ID3v2 tags? Correct me if I'm wrong but thats the next step for me... converting everything to ID3v2 tags (if they aren't the same that is).

EDIT: Yes. I just converted one artist from .m4a (aac) to a .mp3 using iTunes and that solved it for me; that band now shows up under the Artists and not under Unknown. Hope this helps others.

If you need help I can post more.

[Omnia 7 General] sirfergy:
I have an Omnia 7 on US AT&T and my data connection is really slow, I suspect because it's constantly switching from 3G to 3G+. I had a Focus before that only had 3G connections and I didn't notice the slow data issues.

Is there anything I can do?
[Omnia 7 General] RapDj93:
You download this xap (it work only if you have unlock your phone with Chevron)

In the screen you scroll in the way down e click on "Enable 3G Toggle".
[Omnia 7 General] RapDj93:
Then restart your phone. After the restart you go to Settings-->Data network. Scroll down and you discover a new tab : 3G Connection . Shout down this and your connection should work correctly.

;)
[Omnia 7 General] sirfergy:
Thanks, but will that disable all 3G or just 3G+?
[Omnia 7 General] sirfergy:
It doesn't seem to do anything, I toggle the Enable 3G and the 3G icon stays on.
[Omnia 7 General] RapDj93:
I think that it will disable only 3G but i'm not sure :/

You try this and then you let us know ;)

Has anyone got the music beta working on their hd2? I can access it just fine from my computer and my xoom but not from my phone. Is there something I'm missing?

music sync from phone

hi Same here

i've just received acceptation for music beta invitation, and I've been able to upload music from my laptop to my google music account.

I can now listen to music through my google account via web browser (laptop and phone)

The only probleme is that I can't manage to get access to this cloud from the music app (the new one) on my HD2.

note : There's no option in my google account manager for google music (like picasa, mail or contacts)

note 2 : would that trouble come from the fact that I'm in france ?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] phouse1025:
I haven't tried to access through the browser, will give that a shot now. I'm guessing that we will have app access after the beta. I hope anyways
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] beergenius:
I uninstalled the music app from my hd2 then installed app from music beta website(directed me to google web app site). Music app on phone then worked. Hit menu settings to access music on computer. Hope this helps.

I have it on my HD2 it took like 36 hrs after being invited for the app on my phone to actually connect with the cloud servers, now works great!!

Heed Beergenius

Try what beergenius suggested. I installed the Music Beta app to my phone prior to getting the invitation. Once I received the invitation and uploaded all my music I was still unable to access it from phone. I looked under my account sync and there was no music option. Uninstalled Music app and reinstalled. All my music instantly appeared and when looking under account sync, music checkbox was now available.

But there a lots of Great 2.2 Froyo Roms for vibrant

Hope that Helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
If you're a true noob who's not flashed a lot before I would suggest any of the 2.2.1 roms. They are all functional and a bit better than 2.2. The only thing you'll lose is wifi calling which is a huge battery drain anyway.

Right now the gingerbread roms don't have working GPS and require a little bit more experience with flashing.

My teammate and I have the Simply Galaxy/Honey series. 2.8 is very fast and stable and its 2.2.1. Team EDT also puts out quality work and you can always count on their roms to be fast and stable as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
yah stick with 2.2 or 2.2.1 until u get experienced enough for cm7 or other gb roms! So id listen to explodingboy70

One more thing, will Samsung update the vibrant with an official GB rom?

I read that some said it could be done through Kies?

Simply honey 2.3.3 gb.By far the best gb for the vibrant.flawless, and easy install.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabeatz:
At this point we don't know when and if we're getting an official gingerbread from T-mobile. Samsung released gingerbread for the international version only - the GT-I9000. It is not completely identical to the Vibrant. It's up to the carriers when and if they release it and put their touches on it. Once Samsung releases some source code for Gingerbread, you'll see a huge jump in gingerbread development and improvements in those roms. Until then, stick to 2.2.1 like the others have said. I stick to team whiskey's roms, and every month or so I flash to a gingerbread rom for like a week to get a feel for it, then go back to 2.2.1 since I can't deal with the bugs in our GB roms for too long at once :-P

Hi,

Finally my phone has arrived. Its already on Official 2.2 (I guessed) with Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 with build number FROYO.UVKA6.

If I want to remain like this for now (awaiting the official GB), what are the improvement that I can or should make to the phone with the current config?

eg. Voodoo , Other kernel, modem, rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kero4:
I would give it a few days before you starting flashing etc etc. Get used to the phone with froyo, learns the ins and out of all the settings and stuff, will come in handy when you are ready to start playing.

If you haven't already, you should read the myriad of info in the vibrant bible, focusing on rooting, flashing and the things needed. I def would get a good handle on understanding programs like titanium, busy box and rom manager as all will eventually need to be used in one way shape or form.

To be honest, after my few days of learning the ropes, you should consider after learning the phones ins and outs, using ODIN to get back to 2.1 that normally comes with the vibrant (I am not 100% sure that all vibrants came with 2.1 stock, not sure if yours is the new model or outgoing model), rooting, installing titanium backup, busybox and rom manager and make a NANDROID backup of a nice clean OS so that should you run into issues flashing, you have an emergency back up to fall back on. I just did this over the past 2 days and it was a great learning experience.

I did my first rom flash today and was pretty cool, not as hard as I thought but really teaches you the ins and outs of all this cool stuff.

The ppl here were great in helping me and answering my questions, truly a great community.

My phone came with 2.1, then upgraded to 2.2, rooted and removed all the bloatware and never backed anything up. I then realized after help here, it was better to go back to 2.1, do all the right steps to root, install the right apps above, then make a nice clean emergency backup. It def will save your ass sooner or later.

With regards to changes, with my phone when it was at 2.2, I did alot to help improve battery life, I use a black wallpaper, I only turn on wifi when needed, I don't enable GPS at all. I set brightest via power widget to lowest unless in bright sun at which time, you can easily brighten it, you can change how quickly the screen goes dark, etc etc. There's alot of things you can do but since you just got the phone, you need to see how you're going to use it, in order to customize it.

Just my 2 from a beginner :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savkhetan:
I have been looking for a while and as usual with Samsung/T-Mobile the official word on GB is very deliberately vague.

I've been trying different ROMs and between my wife's Vibrant and mine, I have tried 5 ROMs so far.

Flashing some of the simpler Froyo ROMs is definitely easier and safer then jumping straight to CM7 or MIUI.

I would go with the earlier advice of getting familiar with your phone first and making sure you are comfortable with rebooting in recovery, wipe cache, etc.

One click root, back-up and re-install some apps so you are comfortable with all that.

Once you feel good, then try the simpler ROMs. TeamWhiskey - Nero is the first one I tried and it was easy to install and quite fast.

After that, went with Bionix.

Now I'm running SimpleHoney and on my wife's phone we are running DarkyRom 9.5.

All of these can be flashed through CWM which makes them simpler and safer.

Hope this helps! Enjoy your phone.

Thank you all for the replies. The advice and guidance are really much appreciated.

After one whole day fooling around, I finally managed to Root it and to install Simple Galaxy 2.8. I had some problems initially with the new 3e recovery from froyo causing unable to root problem. But I googled it and managed to workaround it.

I will play with the phone for a few more days before I decide if I want to go for the next level, GB :)

[Desire HD General] jakeythesnake:
Okay, so I want to rebrand my Orange DHD for warranty purposes and I happen to know somebody who's got one with an Orange 2.2.1 ROM on it.

Anyway, using the GingerBreak method I could get into a root shell on the device (temp, of course). Now what I need to do from there is install ROM Manager so that I can reboot into recovery and create a backup of the Orange ROM, which I could then use on my own DHD.

But what are the install commands? I mean is it just "install package.apk", and then I'd have to run ROM Manager via the shell as well...

If it's possible though this would help a *LOT* of people; an Orange ROM hasn't been leaked yet and loads are asking for it.

It's not just comfort, its usability. I'm sure I'm in the minority by using my phone to log into network equipment (switches, routers, firewalls, etc...) but it's next to impossible to get anything done using the software keyboard. Try typing something like "sh run | beg int gi12/25" or "crypto key gen rsa usag label key" or "sh ip rou 172.16.2.0" on a software keyboard vs the Epic hardware keyboard and tell me how usable the software keyboard is.

[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
