Same here, haven't had any need plus I have to have my phone working with emails being synched. All I really need is WiFi tether and to backup my apps and stuff. When my evo gets slow I just hit task killer and back to normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielherrero:
Hi

One week ago I moved my personal phone number to a roaming phone operator, called simyo (belongs to KPN). Several times per day when I try to access internet (I use push mail, always on gtalk, etc) cant do it. It seems is connected the internet. The coverage shows 3G and the uplink arrow shows activity. Of course I ve marked the options "Use on roaming network". I need to reset the device or turn on/off airplane mode. I had a similar problem with windows mobile time ago in other samsung device. Never had this problem with other phone operator or using the roaming operator (simyo) with other android device. Any idea?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mykenyc:
Okay, so Motorola unveiled the Triumph and i'm uber excited about this phone. My question comes from something of my old Thunderbolt, i notice the thunderbolt have the MSM8655 and so does the Triumph where our Droid incredible 2 have the 8255. GSMarena:

Triumph vs Thunderbolt

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3988&idPhone2=3703

Triumph vs incredible 2

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3988&idPhone2=3938

Now, i have read on other sites that the only difference in CPU is network specific. I just can't help that the thunderbolt benchmarks was better than my incredible 2 (this is not a debate about that because i brought this up before). So my 2 question are:

Has anyone here been on virgin mobile and is it any good (loving the 25 dollar price plan)?

and

Do your think this phone is any good? More so opinions since no one have the phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
The core CPU and GPU is the same. However, keep in mind that memory and storage is not part of the SOC, so HTC can use whatever memory and storage they want. As an example, LG uses dual channel memory and a sort of dual channel/raid setup for storage in order to improve performance (in their dual core phones, they call this technology "tri-dual" technology or 3D for short for dual core, dual channel memory and dual channel storage). As a result, with the Revolution having essentially the same SOC as the Tbolt, it blows it away in benchmarks. However, 2D and 3D framerates were the same as my I2 ;)

How this translates to real world performance depends on your real world usage. You might not see better performance for your games. Your light weight apps probably won't improve in performance. Your battery life might improve due to less time required for memory and storage access (the Revolution supposedly destroys the Tbolt in battery life, but I don't have much info on this). You might only see improved performance for your heavy hitting apps that have high memory and storage requirements (ie: Slacker Plus or Premium for the caching feature).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mykenyc:
Cool, thanks for the response.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tyvallely:
The INC2 has the newest processor. (for today that is)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Indeed, it does, but it is the world phone SOC equivalent to the 4G SOC that the 4G phones are using. It's the same core CPU and GPU as other current generation MSM SOCs.

Hi everyone,

as the topic says, my non-sense (non-stock) widgets which i installed separatly get very annoying graphic glichtes.

if i have a stock widget and a custom widget on the same page, only the custom widget has graphic glitches. i can remove all custom widgets from all homescreen and then add them again to get rid of the glitches for a couple of days, but then they'll come again on a random time.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadzunehd:
I tried rooting my phone, but when I flashed CWM my Nexus S stopped booting... it freezes on the Google screen in the intro. I can boot into Fastboot, and cwm, but I cant connect the Internal memory to the computer without it booting like it is supposed to. Does anybody know of anything I can do to fix my phone and bring it back to stock??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
There are guides for returning to stock stickied in the Nexus S 4G Android Development forum.

Before you do that though, try flashing a different recovery, like the one linked to here or here.

Btw, which guide did you use? You're not the first person to have this problem, and it's really bugging me (though probably not as much as it's bugging you :-o).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadzunehd:
Maximilian Mary: I tried to post the link, but since I'm a new member I have to wait 8 posts before I can post a URL.... :/

I will try a different recovery, but how would I flash a rom if I can connect my phone via usb mount?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
What's the title of the thread?

.

I'm a little out of my depth here, but I think it's

fastboot flash system system.img.

You don't need to put the rom image on the sdcard. Just put it in the same folder as fastboot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadzunehd:
It was titled "How to Root Nexus S!"

And I will try to flash recovery and try that rom command, thank you :))
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
Hmmm. I can't find that exact title. Could you pm me the link?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
There's a button for that. ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
I got the link. Thanks. I looks like you flashed a boot image that is incompatible with your phone. That guide was for the T-Mobile Nexus S. (Why they're screwing with the boot.img to begin with, I really don't understand.)

Download the attached file, and unzip it to the same folder as fastboot. The md5 sum is d4a9508f9321eb25df3383f00f571e8b. Then

fastboot flash boot boot.img

You'll probably also want to use one of the recoveries listed above to

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

, but leave system alone for now. Flash that only as a last resort.

same problem with me.

but in my case, the phone not only freeze after the google logo before boot. I tried several times to pull the battery and start the phone again, it took several times until the phone can boot normally again.

After that, my nexus s can work as usual. but it only takes 3-4 hour until it freeze/hangs or reboot automatically and show image of green robot lay down with red alert triangle... :( :confused:

sometimes I noticed all application force closed like gmail, gtalk, etc. (its a basic apps instead of 3rd party app)

History :

- root GB 2.37 using superoneclick

- upgrade OTA to ICS 4.04

- problem happens

- root using guide : nexusshacks.com

- unroot using guide : nexusshacks.com

- back to factory setting on GB 2.34

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dh_sanders:
nexus s won't boot

I had the same problem and read elsewhere that heating the phone with a hairdryer solves the problem.

I must say, indeed it did.

I removed the battery and the SIM card, then heated up the phone (so it really feels warm) put back the battery and sim and simsalebim the phone started again. and is still working since (now already a few day's)

It seems that a component in the phone is heat sensitive, the question in my mind is when will this show again and do I need to consider buying a new phone.

But sofar it works

PS I also tried hard reset factory reset the lot, but in the end only heating up helped.

Good luck, David

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leeris:
Hi

Just bought used desire.

Be4 I start getting to know it, I would like to know if there is a custom ROM flashed.

Software inf:

Android

2.2

Baseband ver.

32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Kernel version

2.6.32.15-g2633d94

Build number

2.33.161.2 CL284358 release keys

Softw. No

2.33.161.2

Is this a stock ROM? When I search for 2.33.161.2 in google it says something about Vodafone. Is it a stock Vodafone ROM?

Do I have custom ROM, was my phone rooted? I have superuser installed.

Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!!!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's the Vodafone ROM, stock is 2.29.405.5

If you've got the Superuser app then yes the phone has been rooted but left on the Vodafone ROM. If you turn the phone off, turn it on holding volume down, select recovery on the menu that comes up and you end up with Clockwork Mod/Amon RA then you're definitely rooted
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leeris:
Thanks a lot for your answer, yes it's rooted according to your G-L

Do I get it right that this Desire was bought in Vodafone UK and it was shipped with 2.29.405.5 stock ROM and this is just an update to 2.33.161.2?

+ Why would somebody ROOT the phone while keeping the stock ROM?

Thank you!!!!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
First question: As far as i know, you got this right.

Second question: With root excess you can run some programs, which you cannot run without root excess (like adfree, root explorer or titanium backup). Furthermore, you can delete system apps. At last, you are able to make a complete backup of your phone. These are the most advantages of root for me. For some users, these advantages are enough. They do not need custom roms, because they are happy with the htc one.

And do not say thank you, use the button. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If the unit is on the Vodafone ROM it'll be a branded unit (unless the seller put the Vodafone ROM on it, which would be a bit strange). The vendor code is how it updates, e.g.

x.xx.405.x - this is the unbranded vendor code and will only get updates including the 405 - such 2.29.405.2, 2.29.405.5, etc

x.xx.161.x - this is the Vodafone UK vendor code and will only get updates including the 161

just some outside readings:

FYI, launcher redraw issue can be fixed using terminal. http://www.droidforu...msonite801.html

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html teaches that by declaring it is "service" or "broadcast", the apps can be excluded from being killed. But how to do this to normal apps that get constantly killed?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
Have you checked the themes section? I am almost sure I have seen them in there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blankrubber:
Try GO Dialer on the market. I'm almost positive it has theme support. Otherwise, take the last poster's suggestion and flash a theme.
[Epic 4G General] Modmyppc:
Ok here is the deal.

The the phone has two esn's. THe one on the back of the phone underneath the battery is a clean esn. The one inside the phone belongs to someone on a different account and she (sprint used she thats how i know its a girl) has her phone activated on her account with no problems.

They can't use the clean esn on the back of the phone to get the msl because the msl to unlock the phone belongs to the girls account. We can't go into the settins and remove her esn and put mine in.

If we try using esn from the back of the phone to get the msl the msl wont unlock the phone.

I have to bring it to a coperate store tomorrow morning. The sprint tech said that they may be able to completly wipe the phone and the esn should return to the one on the back of the phone.

If the coperate store can't do it, is it possible for me to change the esn of the phone to the esn thats on the back of the phone. Im not trying to do anything illegal. The phone is clean the esn is clean, it belongs to me However its just recognizing her esn instead of the one that belongs to the phone.

I flashed the swiss cheese rom if I odin back to stock will coperate know that I rooted the phone?

I dont want to return the phone becuase I got a really great deal. 180$ and its in mint condition. but the seller offered a full return.
[Epic 4G General] debonairone:
First, thnxs for creating a new thread and not hijacking the other... If you Odin back to stock, they shoudln't know anything about you rooting your phone, but fwiw, don't offer any additional information about custom roms or anything... If they ask you anything about it, pretend not to know...

The fact that you got such a great deal on the phone, means the seller probably new there was an issue to begin with... After your trip to Corporate, if you are not satisfied, you can either return the phone for a full refund (if that is what the seller guaranteed) or see if you can get a discount or a new one from Corporate... I've had to take my phone back already and they didn't have any refurbs yet to hand out... I've only had my phone for about 2 months...

Edit: After you Odin back to stock, see what happens... You may clear out whatever issue is on the phone to begin with... Worth a shot...
[Epic 4G General] Modmyppc:
I really didn't want to hold up that rom thread anymore. I figured I would get more attention if I created a thread.

Yeah I was planning on playing stupid.

Do you mean that they will offer of a new epic? I probably need to put 7$ protection on it then huh? I just bought it but I bought it on ebay.

I will odin back to stock tonight. I am waiting for my usb cables. They say they should be in today.

If they wont give me a new phone will it be possible for me to program the esn into the phone?

Im a complete noob when it comes to android but I would be willing to learn and give it a shot.

Giving the phone back is pretty much my last option. I really dont want to. I already spent around 50 dollars on accesories for this phone.
[Epic 4G General] debonairone:
Corporate may or may not make you an offer for a new device, but I would put the insurance on the phone anyway... Purchasing off of eBay may only allow you to take advantage of the typical mfg warranty, and not one offered by your isp... the insurance on the phone (which you will be adding) usually doesn't ask for proof of purchase, but they usually reserve the right to provide a refurb product of equal or greater value...

Again, reprogramming the ESN for the phone is illegal, even if it the correct one (the premise is that if you can do it, then you will do it even when the ESN is incorrect)... Your option there would be to leave it to Corporate, and they may not do it... They may swap out your phone and then fix it and sell it as refurb...

As for the accessories, if the last option becomes the only option, you can probably find the phone at your local Radio Shack with a $100 down and walk out of the store with a new device and a two year shackle (errr contract)...

Good Luck...

Edit: Oh, and any micro usb cable will work... Especially one from a blackberry - nice, thick and sturdy...
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
regardless of your esn...you can get your current msl with a free market app

msl reader

your msl is not tied to the esn

your phone was reprogrammed...there is no mistake

without delving too much on this forum because its not permitted...i will say this

the epic is an easy phone to program

and for the record...the epic is an MEID device...the ESN is calculated from the MEID
[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
It's possible to "repair the ESN" though it, along with the discussion surrounding that topic are both highly frowned upon. It is not for someone who lacks a relatively deep understanding of CDMA (and Google!) so I would suggest looking around local classified ads to see if someone is able to assist with reverting back to stock.

With Epic's being so cheap now through BB/RS/Sprint, it may be wise just to buy it from there and call it a day.
[Epic 4G General] Modmyppc:
ok guys I may have found a way but my first obstacle is that my phone wont go into USB debugging.

I turn it on and connect the usb but it doesn't say usb debuggin in the notification taskbar.

If I try turning it off while the usb is connected it tells me. "Attention Usb is connected. Remove the cable"

When I connect the usb it tells me that usb is connected.

If I turn usb debugging off and connect the cable it tells me the same thing.

The phone wont go into usb debugging mode.

Im on the swiss cheese rom.

I know the cable works because My Optimus S goes into usb debugging mode when I connect the cable.

Can you guys help me.
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
why do you need usb debugging?

just curious

go into your dialer and press ##8778#

then change the usb mode to modem (leave uart alone)

may require doing it twice if it pops out of modem mode

then plug your usb cable in
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
as far as Sprint and their 'system' or network are concerned.. the msl that they have on record that shows up when they enter the MEID, IS the msl that you would need to program back into the phone along with the MEID that's under the battery.

If they run the MEID that's under the battery and it comes back clean, then you're in good shape. .. The corporate store isn't gonna use any software that will write the correct MEID back to the phone.

If you're decent with a computer, and a search engine, I'm willing to bet that you can write the MEID back to the phone that belongs to it and get it activated properly.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have the corporate store write down that msl (that belongs to the "under the battery MEID' for you as well.. you'll need to write that back to it as well.

PM me if you need a little guidance.

Further discussion is frowned upon but I might have a suggestion or two for you :D
[Epic 4G General] Modmyppc:
thank you but it didn't work..

and its Uart is on modem and usb is on modem.

I shut off the phone put in the ##8778# and its both is on modem.

guys Im not trying to break the law or do some magic with the esn...

I just want this phone activated. I payed for it. The esn is clean. SPrint even told me. So i dont understand what the big deal is.

Here is a recommendation from another member. BUt i first have to get my phone to go into usb debugging which its not and its starting to piss me off
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
USB should be set to PDA for normal everyday usage...

set USB mode to PDA

thats probably why you were having usb issues

i thought you were trying to program the phone which needs USB set to modem mode

UART should always be set to modem mode

the fact that it was already in modem mode is your proof the previous owner modified the phone

all phones ship and function in USB PDA mode
[Epic 4G General] Modmyppc:
still having the same problem.

My optimus S goes into usb debugging no problem with this cable.
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
what are you trying to do?

i think is the more relevant question here
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
the big deal is that you're in need of "repairing the MEID" on the phone.. it's jacked up and you need a solution to repair the MEID.. the solution is very easy however, we're not able to discuss exactly how to do it on XDA. It's forbidden according to their rules.

What I suggest is sending any member (myself included) a PM and try to get help that way. It's very easy to do.

USB debugging is not necessary, and Odin won't fix your dilemma.

just sayin'

Im trying to get usb debuggin on. I want to flash back to stock using odin but my phone wont go into usb debugging mode.

If I turn on usb debugging and connect the usb cable nothing is happening. It doesn't say usb debugging up top.

If I go to try to unselect usb debugging while the cable is in it tells me "Attention: USB is connected. Remove the cable"

If I turn usb debuggin off, connect the cable and try turning it back on its giving me the same message. ""Attention: USB is connected. Remove the cable"

So my question is at the moment how do I turn on usb debugging.

PM SENT
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Replied.

To get your phone recognized in order to use Odin, you don't need USB debugging..

1. shut the phone off

2. slide keyboard open

3. hold down '1' while powering on

4. when the yellow triangle shows up you're on 'download' mode.

This is the proper 'mode' to be in to use Odin.

USB debugging is for using 1 click root methods.
[Epic 4G General] ArchangelRenzoku:
This is true. Do what daddymikey says. Once your phone is stock, let us know if your MEID in the phone and the one on the label are the same. A ROM flash before activation could have caused such a simple issue.

By the way, I don't think you can put insurance on a device that has been pre-owned, can you? Only with new devices purchased directly from them, right?... I know when I was working at "The Red-checkmark Network", they wouldn't let you do it. Can you with Sprint?
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
yes, yes you can.
[Epic 4G General] eigerzoom:
this is bs

please shut up and leave this thread immediately

you cannot ever alter your meid/esn with a rom/kernel/recovery

why would you even feel compelled to reply with suck lack of knowledge?
