[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljbrenes:
So I need to have a Live Messenger client so I can keep in touch with family that lives abroad. I have MSN Droid X which I believe was a port from the Droid X phone.

Ever since I moved to comrom, even 1.3, the OS kills the app, sometimes within 5 minutes, sometimes more. I dont have any task killers installed, so this has to be the OS killing the process.

Does anybody have a recomendation for a Live MSN chat client? Or maybe a way to tell the OS not to kill Live Messenger?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Hi,

let me thank you for all the help you may give me.

The problem is i get stuck on obtaining ip address or the cell doesn't even try to connect automatically so i have to manually start the wifi connection to the network after turning on wifi. :mad:

The problem of my SGS not connecting automatically is rare, the first is not, it's actually quite often.

I looked through all the guides and sugestions but i couldn't find any permanent solution for this problem.

Note: I've used the AllShare app but sometimes even that doesn't work.:confused:

Thank you for all help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortexmak:
The same problem kept happening with me. Some of the fixes which I tried were

Change channel on router - didnt work for me

Use the allshare app first - worked

Set up a static ip in advanced settings - almost always worked

But I have found that I didnt have this problem with other routers, only mine, maybe because of a power problem with the router.

Many of baffling errors are usually caused by bad input power to devices.

Hope it helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i use it alot on my university, where i can't do any changes to their router (or use static IP).

Also the AllShare app is indeed a fix, but only if used every time i think. I'll do some more testing, this problem is really annoying and that's a shame because it complicates the use of most of the smartphone capabilities.

So if anyone else as another solution i would be glad to hear it.

Also i'm on stock rom installed by my operator Vodafone (had the same problem on JPY).

Edit: After a very quick test, it seems that using Allshare once does work, but i had the impression that sometimes it would be needed more than once (even without rebooting). TY for the tip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Update:

After some more tests i came to the conclusion that at home i need to use AllShare every time i want to connect to my network.

This seems to be a problem affecting several users of SGS, does anyone know the answer to this problem? Or at least an app that minimizes it?

It's quite bad and very frustrating. Thanks, for any and all help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qobok:
I had the same problem with stock Android 2.2.1 on 3 phones all Galaxy S. Dropping the packages on voip calling, internet was slow most of the time. I use a linksys wrt54g with dd-wrt, I never had problems with any other devices.

My problem was solved when I installed GingerReal. Also on Miui I didn't had any problems with the wifi connection.

Maybe is just the stock driver incompatibility with some devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solid_Snake.Pt:
Thanks for the reply,

I've only had bad experiences with flashing, last time i did everytime right and Odin just hanged, i almost had a serious problem in my hands.

Since this is probably the first and last good phone i'll ever have, i would really like not to kill it (also some people in my family would be very disappointed, it was a gift).

So any workaround? Sorry i'm so insistent but i think that are a lot more people interested in this. TY.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
I have a Xoom 3g (USA) that I'm about to put on craigslist; anyone know how to reset it so that it's stock (no personal info). I know that there's files on there that are not deleted if you reset it, I'm looking for something that will reset ALL of the files back to stock (like you can do with an iPhone...).

***edit: Sorry, probably should have put this into Q+A... If an admin wants to do so, that would be OK...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seven2099:
Technically you should have put it lol..

but before you get flamed... this is how:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kippui:
factory reset and hook it up to the computer then delete every folder/file off it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
I don't think I can delete "every file and folder" can I? Won't that mess up the Xoom?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
Just reflash the stock images and erase userdata
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kippui:
no, you dont have access to files that are crucial to the xoom functioning correctly through the pc. If u dont want to mess with adb and img files then do my method. It's the same way like cellphones, you can delele everything off your sd card and the phone will still function.

I just checked nothing of importance is on the /sdcard folder so u can delete away. You don't have access to /sys or folders like that.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwizardtx:
Yea thats another simple way to do it. Just remove all synced accounts and user installed apps, go into the sdcard folder and clean up the cache and program data folders there.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icey34:
Hey guys first time posting here, wanted to know if this one was safe? I know that the first gb radio was bricking, but is this new one safe?

I was really hoping to run bamf 2.0 safely.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes_s:
I haven't bricked in the 52 minutes since flashing......

But I didn't brick during the two weeks I was running the other one either. It's sort of wait or flash at your own risk (which it always is really) at this point. I don't remember seeing a definitive diagnosis on why the other radio was causing bricks. There wouldn't be a way to verify if that problem is fixed if they didn't know what the problem was to begin with...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icey34:
Yeah, I know there's always a risk.

But like you see the radios in the obligatory radio thread of the tbolt? All the froyo ones are safe I think I'll wait till the gb ones are like that.

So after all that chaos that happened a few days ago here it finally is. I would personally like to thank all of you guys that were sensitive to the situation and refrained from downloading, flashing, and or distributing this radio when it was stolen and pre-maturely leaked. Good things always come for those who wait.

Was chingy trying to say, that this was significantly safer?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouroborus2012:
I'm glad you asked that, Icey.. I was getting ready to start something with the same question.. I just rooted my bolt yesterday and I really don't wanna brick it on day 2! hehe

That being said, if this is a little safer, i'll try it!

If anybody is reading this who is smarter than me, AND THAT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH, can you give me any insight on what my procedure needs to be to get from my current Das BAMF 1.7 over to a gingerbread rom with the new radio??? Like I said, i just rooted yesterday and i'm a little more nervous, hesitant and unsure on this bolt than I was on my old Evo.. Especially since i'm brand spankin' new on ADB... Any insight from you geniuses would be GREATLY much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoPower:
Anyone know what these colours means?

I'm sure that the red colour means no coverage, so is possible that green means good coverage and the yellow regular. And the grey?

The black is for airplane mode.

What do you think?

Here I read about it: rascarlo.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/android-monitor-your-battery-power-usage-in-gingerbread

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robsso:
http://www.forceclose.com/questions...-in-the-android-2-3-battery-use-settings-scre

This color-coded bar represents the strength of the signal from the cell tower. Green means the signal was strong, yellow - weak, and red - no signal at all. When the signal is absent or weak, the phone is seeking connectivity more aggressively. Basically the weaker the cell signal - the harder the phone will try to keep itself connected, which in turn means that it spends more battery power during that period.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
I thanked the OP for the excellent question that always bothered me :)

So we so far have

Green - great signal

Yellow - weak signal

Gray - ???????

Red - no signal

Black - Airplane mode

If people can explain Gray we can close this topic. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qorron:
Solution

Hi there (and hello, this is my first post here, so please don't eat me.. I liked the noob video :))

I was asking myself the same questen since I got my nexus S, googling was unsuccessful (apart from finding this thread) so I decided to look for the answer myself. I downloaded the Android source code.

Having a look in the appropriate file:

vim packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/fuelgauge/BatteryHistoryChart.java

At line 195 there are the colors:

mPhoneSignalChart.setColors(new int[] {
0x00000000, 0xffa00000, 0xffa0a000, 0xff808020,
0xff808040, 0xff808060, 0xff008000
});

Here at line 617 is where all the magic happens:

int bin;
if (((rec.states&HistoryItem.STATE_PHONE_STATE_MASK)
>> HistoryItem.STATE_PHONE_STATE_SHIFT)
== ServiceState.STATE_POWER_OFF) {
bin = 0;
} else if ((rec.states&HistoryItem.STATE_PHONE_SCANNING_FLAG) != 0) {
bin = 1;
} else {
bin = (rec.states&HistoryItem.STATE_SIGNAL_STRENGTH_MASK)
>> HistoryItem.STATE_SIGNAL_STRENGTH_SHIFT;
bin += 2;
}

And this is my interpretation:

0, 0x00000000, black/transparent, Power off
1, 0xffa00000, red, Phone is trying to find a signal
2, 0xffa0a000, yellow, signal strength 0 (min)
3, 0xff808020, dirty yellow, signal strength 1
4, 0xff808040, even more dirty yellow, signal strength 2
5, 0xff808060, somewhat yellowish gray, signal strength 3
6, 0xff008000, green, signal strength 4 (max)

imho, the color choice is not very intuitive.

perceiving "somewhat yellowish gray" as 3 on a scale from 0 = yellow to 4 = green is not the first solution that jumps into my mind.

I would have used something like that:

0, 0xffa0a000
1, 0xff779700
2, 0xff509000
3, 0xff278700
4, 0xff008000

Here every color is perceived intuitively as something between green and yellow. Well, these are by numbers the exact "in between" colors.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_herrero:
Awesome answer, and thanks for taking the time to do the right research.

Unfortunately, my Galaxy Note doesn't seem to use any logic for this, having yellow and grey in the same places.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rustyx3:
Soo... to visualize this better, here's the color table:

████████ : radio off

████████ : no signal

████████ : signal strenth 0

████████ : signal strenth 1

████████ : signal strenth 2

████████ : signal strenth 3

████████ : signal strenth 4
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havocgb:
From my battery stats graph I can see that the battery usage increased once the phone signal became green. Why would this happen? I thought battery usage will be lower if signal strength is high. BTW the phone was beside my bed all the while and I don't know why suddenly the signal strength quality changed. And no one used the phone till the alarm rang (denoted by the single line in 'screen on') and I snoozed it and slept again :D

[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Am I missing something? Isn't the EVO 3D a model specific to Sprint in the US only?
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
Your missing something because they made a Vodafone version. I probably butchered that name, too lazy to look it up and its something I remember reading earlier so don't take my word for it exactly, but just go to HTC's sight as they have both versions there. You may have a harder time finding it now but it used to be available really easy.
[HTC EVO 3D] JDR0iD:
Any idea when the vodafone version will be out in UK?
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Yeah but I'm pretty sure the EVO name is a Sprint thing. Like there wasn't a European EVO but they had the Desire HD.
[Droid X General] jshizzy:
Just curios. Theres a lot smarter people here than I, and I figured somebody could figure it out
[Droid X General] joebob296:
I highly doubt it. But who knows with the devs on here they have pulled off some amazing stuff.
[Droid X General] KB3MMX:
4G LTE uses the 700Mhz frequency band, not possible for the Droid X radio.

Although, if Verizon supported HSPA+, high speed 3G, it might be posssible to get much better 3G speeds.
[Droid X General] firefly2004:
No 4G hardware

No 4G hardware in the phone,so it is impossible.

3G can support much higher speed that we ussually get.

All the carriers are overloaded now with their data service and trying to charge extra anyway they can to push the upgrade cost to us.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
It might be able to be accomplished with a hardware mod. It would not be worth it, and probably incredibly difficult though
[Droid X General] DarkestSpawn:
I think he is meaning hardware wise by replacing the radio chip itself, like how the Xoom situation is to be played out.

Official support from Motorola for an upgraded radio chip to the DX would be a definite no, but Im sure it would be possible to upgrade the chip (As long as it would fit correctly and is able to be solder to the board correctly) and firmware wise to be configured for the 4G LTE radio. Of course thats alot of work, time, research, and the possibility of hard bricking the device.

If motorola continues the way they have physically with the OG Droid and the DX we might get a DX3 or a Droid4 that are 4G LTE with almost mirror physical looks and feel (And hopefully some much better CPUs and GPUs along with some good RAM), but hey, how many times has Moto listened to us in the past?
[Droid X General] nagalman:
Not Likely

As stated before, 4G LTE access for the Droid X would need an alteration in the cellular radio. Although it is possible, it would require some soldering and probably quite a bit of risk for damaging the original Droid X hardware.

Probably the only other option is to wait for a Moto Droid with 4G built in such as:

Revolution™ by LG

DROID CHARGE by Samsung

ThunderBolt™ by HTC

There is also the Motorola Droid Bionic (not yet released) which has s dual core processor.

I would probably wait for a dual core HTC based 4G/LTE phone since LG has stated they will not lock their bootloaders. Unlocked bootloaders makes it much easier for the dev community to modify Android.
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
It wouldn't work even if you could solder it in. The kernel would have to support it.

Just got myself the Thunderbolt a few weeks back and loving it. Battery life is spotty because of 4G but I'm able to get through my day with just 3G just fine.

Just had a few things to ask you guys.

1) Has anyone had problems having their Contacts/People link to Facebook properly? I've tried unlinking FB, FB for Sense, and then redoing it. I have told both accounts to sync to contacts and in the Facebook application it is set to sync contacts. If I go to my online directoy all my facebook friends show up but it seems that the only contacts that get linked in my contacts is the people who have their phone listed online or something. Only like 5 out of a 100 and some change have it. But then under messages different people will have a picture next to their name but not in contacts :confused: :confused: I'm not sure what's going on here.

2) I'm also thinking of rooting my phone. I hear das bamf 1.7 is the way to go. What's the best/easiest way to root the TB? I've never rooted a phone before but I'm pretty competant with technology I think I could handle it.
