I have a SIM unlocked ATT Atrix 4G, there are some problems on my Atrix running in my country, so I would like to flash another SBF other than 1.83, what SBF can be flashed and what must not to be flashed on it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
What problems are you experiencing? You can flash 1.2.6 or 1.5.7 id sY the 1.5.7 is better since its faster and more reliable.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilcdroid:
Ive been running BAMF Gingerbread 2.0.5 for quite some time. I've been around for a while and have never encountered this before. My SD Card has been formatting on it's own. This is been re occurring since yesterday, over and over again. I've been using GingBAMF since it came out and haven't done anything recently for it to act up. I've reflashed the ROM in its entirety to no avail. I can get everything set up and reboot to install kernels and to gain SU permissions (Adfree, quickboot, ect). Everything is fine. I boot into recovery to backup my ROM, no problem. I connected to my computer and backed up my SD Card to my computer (Except the first time it formatted it took everything and I didn't have it saved - DOH!) and it reboots fine. I was running low on battery (30% left) so I rebooted (Using the system prompts - power/reboot/normal) so I could charge it (Using IMO's 2.8.2GBtest4 kernel) and it tried to reboot, then *bam* auto formatted my SD card again. Any suggestions or similar situations?

Have you tried a different card?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilcdroid:
Didn't have a chance yet because I wasn't home but when I get there I will try. The weird thing about it is it leaves all my folders there it just wipes all the files inside. Some of my zip files are there but again they have no data.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3767071:
Hi Guys,

I recently installed Pure messenger widget off the marketplace. It runs fine most of the time but sometimes when I click on one of the updates, it causes the status bar to force close.

Most of the time the status bar will restart itself but sometimes this does not occur. Is there a way to restart the status bar without having to reboot?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
I see this sometimes (but not since I updated to N94). There's an app called "Notification Restart" which doesn't really work like you'd want it to, but it beats rebooting.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFLATLINEI:
If it happens like I've seen it happen then its usually because I haven't rebooted in a couple days. So before I set it down for awhile ill just select reboot and walk away. Then when I come back its ready to go.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyarsulik:
Has anyone found a fix for this? I get a Status Bar FC on startup, and it never fixes itself.

I am using the stock ADW launcher, but I have altered the screen density. Could that be it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
It doesn't look like they gonna fix it at all.

This is a very irritated.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyarsulik:
Darn. I installed CM7.1 and it FC'd a few times... Then after I altered the density it has not made it past the FC at all in the last 10+ restarts. I might try to reflash CM7.1 just to make sure something didn't go wrong. What a pain. :)

Also, I tried the tricks that were mentioned about manually restarting the service, using the Notification Restart app, toggling the status bar hide/show option, nothing seems to bring it back up.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wifflepig:
What worked for me was getting a pure Sandisk class 4 sd card. I had a class 4 by lexmark before, but would get random fc's on systemui which would make my bar go away.

Now I'm on a 16 gb Sandisk Class 4 and haven't had any fc's since.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lasereyes:
Hey guys, I used to have the same issue (happened sometimes with some apps, and always after an LCD density change). What fixed it for me was running "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Run it and restart, and hopefully it'll fix it (it did in my case).

Hope that helps.

I want an SBC kernel for MikG. What do I flash? I know I cant use the AOSP kernels like Tiamat, and Toasty says for froyo only, so...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
Netarchy's kernels would work great, but could potentially mess up the camera (not permanently, just while using the kernel)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
There is no custom kernel for Mik 1.01 or any of the Ginger/Sense ROM's yet, I'm don't believe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
There isn't because source code isn't released yet, however, you can flash older kernels but it may make things like camera not work properly. But weigh your preferences... camera or longer battery life with SBC? I'd rather have better battery life

Swyped from my Raided Evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajoip:
Does anybody know if there are plans to release this source code, and if so, when it might be? Or is that all up in the air at this point...?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamey1010:
I too was thinking about sbc if I switched over to "MikG v1.03" because with decks rom and tiamat along with the vipermod script I no longer even think about the battery it easily holds up all day with normal use, I see for the MikG rom there's a suggestion this kernel [Kernel] - 2.6.35.10-htc-kernal_and18-2 - from the OTA will also work.

Anyone have experiance with how the phones holding up with that combination?

I'm 12 hours 40 mins on battery with 24% left and I used my phone a lot today.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
That's the stock kernel that comes with the OTA.

If you're used to SBC, like I am, you'll be missing it. Remember when your Evo was stock?? It's not that bad, but the immediate 5-10% drop is back.

The drain isn't terrible, but it's not good, either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamey1010:
Yea that sbc is something else, some mornings when I've unplugged my phone but not used it much its still at 100% a half hour later and at noon it might say 96% which is just crazy compared to stock.

Ok thanks for the info on the kernel... I may give it a try but I sure don't want to go back to carrying two batteries around that was ridiculous...

[Droid X General] williams37:
Just curious if it would be possible, or what would prevent this development/ port on the DX. I've read the bootloader could prevent it, and the kernal. Any thoughts?
[Droid X General] hullie10:
I may be wrong, but I thought honeycomb was for tablets... I think what we want after gingerbread is ice cream sandwich which would bring gb and honeycomb together.... but I would say developing by then for the dx may come to a halt because of the bootloader
[Droid X General] bradsinram:
You would need a different kernel. Which with the terrible level of development on the dx plus the encrypted bootloader its not happening
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Honeycomb is for tablets. I've seen a port to the evo4g, that kinda worked. But by kinda I mean it booted, and you could get into settings.

Also, google has yet to release the source for honeycomb, making it nearly impossible to get it on an unlocked device

Hi, im looking to buy a htc phone. and would like some suggestions as to which one?

i have previously owned a htc wildfire which i thought was too slow and not capable to run some games. However, the android software itself was great.

I have heard that the htc desire, is the next upgrade from the wildfire?

Which htc phone would you recommend priced reasonably and has a decent cpu which does not tend to run slow and is capable to run most games and apps?

any suggestions are much appreciated. :)

that can be done by googling

The htc evo has great awsome dev support which allow us tons of different custom roms and themes. most of the devs that are for the evo are going to the evo 3d so the evo 3d is gonna get a bunch of great devolophers so yeah i recommend evo or evo 3d
[General Questions and Answers] pinget_69:

[General Questions and Answers] x1123:
You do gaming. My suggestion bought used HD2 TMOUS with 1024 ROM you can do alot with this dinosaurus. The beast is considered OLD but this is one of Masterpiece of htc released. I hold IncrAPdible S now with (very sad S-ON) upgraded to 2.3.3 by htc via FOTA. But I also hold HD2 wwe version. I loved HD2. I will not buy HTC again unless they confirmed no other locked the boot-loader. I search a lot of web pages no lucks to find how to root my IncrAPdible S.

Go and get HD2, make dual boot then you can play any games you like

have great day

Google maps is keeping my phone awake, I cleaned the cache and forced stop but keeps running, It used 12% of my battery in 2 hours so is a issue, any way to fix it?
[Nexus S General] Ricke77:
Uninstall the Google Maps update. Others have had the same issue.
[Nexus S General] cib2299:
Check if you have Latitude running. It can restart google maps. Also, you might want to do a search on your own, you're not the first one with this problem.
[Nexus S General] herbthehammer:
I ripped out crap I didn't use and it helped with speed and responsiveness. Maps was definitely one to go. I can always install it later if needed.
[Nexus S General] atoy74:
I'm pretty sure it's Latitude that's causing the problem.
[Nexus S General] VisedMonk:
I've had this same problem. For me, Latitude was the problem. I don't use it, so I used Ti Backup to get rid of it.

However, my wife uses Latitude and the way she solved the problem is by going into the Latitude settings and turning off the auto-update location feature, which was waking her phone up every 10 mins or so to update her location. Now she has it set so that she has to manually update her location and the battery use issue has gone away.
[Nexus S General] tmcquake:
Latitude was the problem for me also. I turned off Latitude and it was fixed.
[Nexus S General] calanbalan:
How do you keep it shut off? I have the same problem with Latitude but it just keeps starting up again. Only thing working is unchecking using both wireless networks and gps but then no applications can use that stuff which isn't super cool. Latitude is ofc still running doing this but at least it's not draining my battery.
[Nexus S General] VisedMonk:
This is what worked for my wife:

In Latitude > Settings > make sure "Do not update your location" is checked and "Enable automatic check-ins" is not checked. Then sign out of Latitude and you should be good to go.
[Nexus S General] fallenguru:
That's not a solution, though, is it? FWIW, I made a bug report: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17356
[Nexus S General] ykphuah:
Can I ask what good is latitude without the auto update feature? So your wife keep on manual updating everywhere she go?
[Nexus S General] VisedMonk:
I don't use it, so I can't say. I imagine she uses it to check in places, kind of like foursquare, which would be easy enough to do manually, I suppose.
[Nexus S General] fallenguru:
Not much, really. Well, if you sign out completely you can't even see where your friends are.

Anyway, disabling the updates for my own location in Latitude's settings didn't make any difference for me.
[Nexus S General] heinrich:
As of 4.1.2 Maps is running permanently unless I disable Google Apps Location Access. LAME.
[Nexus S General] hp420:
this has been an issue with me since ICS. I've uninstalled maps several times because I was getting such horrible battery life. I've seen my phone die in 3 hours in standby because maps was constantly running. Couple the map issue with your phone searching for a data signal, and it's easy to kill your battery from a full charge in just a few hours. Something needs to be done, severely!!

You can notice an instant, DRAMATIC increase in battery life after uninstalling/freezing maps, btw....I'd recommend giving it a shot to anyone having battery life problems.
[Nexus S General] ykphuah:
I read that all location requests by all Apps goes through Google Maps, when WiFi and Mobile network location is enabled.

I too have been experimenting with different ways to boost my battery life, trying out disabling:

1. Signing out of Latitude

2. Turning off WiFi and Mobile Network Location

3. Turning off Google Now

4. Manually disabling Wifi and Mobile network etc...

So far I realize that its actually #2 that causes battery issues for me. Keeping latitude signed in doesn't seemed to have much impact if #2 is turned off.
[Nexus S General] littlebigsnafu:
I have ended up just uninstalling it because it was by far the most battery draining app on the phone, on the days where I was barely using it maps kept the phone awake for 3+ plus hours, making me charge the phone every day when I didn't even use it!!

My advice is when you need it, install it OR the day before, input the route/address/location you need and after the use for it ended, uninstall it. It'll be in your play store app list anyway so the above process, wont take too long.
[Nexus S General] polobunny:
You can also freeze it with Titanium Backup or similar. More practical way to do it, IMHO.

By the way, if you freeze it, location services will be in their own process.
[Nexus S General] Ted Mosby:
Just disable Location access.
[Nexus S General] littlebigsnafu:
Good advice! I'll try it that way in the next couple of days when I have a few job interviews coming up. However, I DO wish EL goog sorts this problem out sooner or later, it's only maps in the core Google apps that really has this problem. :(

Agree with you.

[Nexus S General] hp420:
Now that is a GREAT tip!! I never knew that! I clicked thanks here and in the post you linked because that one was so good :)
[Nexus S General] debaj:
If you want to freeze/uninstall Google Maps, you should consider that most of the apps that use maps (for example sport tracker apps, public traffic timetables etc.) will stop working because on Android the Maps app provides the needed API for them.
[Nexus S General] polobunny:
They'll still work if you freeze it, network location can run in it's own process.

Its personal preference

some poeple may not want a ton of folders on the sd card, and prefer to do it on pc where storage is better
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
There are many reasons. First, they use different types of files. The Flash Tool uses sin files to flash Sony Ericsson firmware, where xRecovery uses zip files to flash custom ROMs while still using the stock kernel and baseband. Second, you can still use the Flash Tool when your phone is bricked, or you can't access xRecovery. You can also use the Flash Tool to rebrand.

Dont think you can brick it, it works simple. It just copies stl5 partition with dd command and search unlock code in. You get your simlock code and Voila, you have just saved 20e:) So go ahead.

Don't try it. It bricks phones.

I tried it, and I did get the code. But after the first reset, the phone just went into an endless loop of poweron-poweroff-poweron-poweroff. Not even the Samsung logo showed up.

Neither recovery mode, reflash, etc etc fixed it.

I've unlocked 2 of Ace with this app. Sorry to hear that isnt working for you guys. I've been also trying to brick my Ace (it has warranty, so I could replace it for S) but no luck. This method always helped with unbricking it:

Remove battery, memory card and sim card.

Plug phone to usb cable.

The best is to turn phone face down (I know it sound stupid, but just do it).

Put battery slightly in socket (not completely, you are gonna put it after).

With your right middle finger hold home button, with left hand hold volume down button and power button.

Hold it for 5 seconds and WHILE YOU HOLDING IT, place battery fully into socket using your right thumb.

Screen should be on now, in downloading mode.

Open Odin and flash with FW that actually works:)

PS

Just read again what you wrote, and didnt understand something. How did you ppl brick Ace, with app? Or with "safe" method that #rjtd suggested? Thanks
