[Thunderbolt Android Development] cmhfdisker:
My phone developed a nasty habit of locking up hard since installing the rooted RUU (also known as plainjane v3). It usually happened when coming off the charger or switching on/off wifi using the power control widget. I haven't seen this reported elsewhere so I'm guessing it's just me. Going through the wipe/reinstall process now to see if it fixes it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Character Zero:
Nope it doesn't.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Farva0412:
Is this the rooted version
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Namolas:
Not at all. the 3D carousel absolutely screams on my Bolt. There is a little bit of lag on first boot and then its silky smooth from there on out....

[Thunderbolt Android Development] David522d:
I installed this and now i have no service running Gingeritus 1.0 PLEASE HELP ASAP
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nate14:
Try reflashing. If that doesn't work I'd say flash the radio.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] David522d:
I just re flashed both.... Any i still dont ?!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] coliny59:
So even though battery life isn't much better, my uptime is 36.5 hours. I'm in a fringe 4g/3g area and not a single reboot yet. In addition, I was plugged in tethering all day and just last week I had 4-5 reboots in one day, today NONE. I also noticed that the phone didn't nearly get as hot as it did before. Just this alone made it worth it. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cyates:
Me too, me too, only in a bad way. First reboot was today after 3 days of uptime. MR2 plainjane rom.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] azbryan3:
There's no way to root this version yet?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] droidfanatic:
I just got one from work but the user who had it already installed mr2 without root...anyway to root safely?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xstahsie:
Same here. I have PlainJane v3 MR2.

It worked for about 1 week, without any reboot. And yesterday, the phone did its first reboot, and today it rebooted again.

Now, prior to the MR2 install w/PlainJane, I had MR1 with stock Sense (rooted) and my phone would restart at least 2 times a day. Sometimes 3 times a day.

So, is the leaked MR2 still plague with problems? Anyone else having this problem?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jett2314:
Running the same set up. I had a reboot on day three and none others that I know of. I usually leave my email app open so I will know if the phone has rebooted or not. Before MR2 I would get about four reboots over the coarse of a week. Sucks, but is something I can live with.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] xstahsie:
Yeah, I'm starting to think that this leaked MR2 is not ready for prime time. Probably this is the reason why Verizon hasn't release it to the public, yet. :confused:

Yeah, sometimes I'm at the home screen or in an app such as Engadget, it'll just reboot. I'm now somewhat disappointed with this MR2 leak build...

Anyone else having this reboot with MR2?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ajftl:
network speed..thats the reason.. gb radio slow..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] boythatkills:
Anyone else have thier 3g/4g randomly come on for a few seconds every once and a while even while on Wifi with the Mobile Network toggled off?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RashAPu:
Been using the radio since the day iit was leaked. Using perfect storm 1.5 with NO reboots, ever.

I was running MR2 Planejane v3 since it's release and just started having reboots on Friday.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Kc0r8y:
Ditto

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Noremacam:
Using ruu as well and never rebooted once.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
This reboot behavior might not have anything to do with your bolt. Rather, this might be due to local lte tower signals being tweaked by verizon. reboot, toggle airplane mode off, on and wait for a day more. See if you are still getting reboots.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dms76:
I hadn't heard of airplane mode toggle yet, but I was in two different states of the union when it happened. Wouldn't the reboot reset everything like the airplane mode? I installed MR2.5 and upgraded to dasbamf 2.1 so lets see what happens
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jmin9012:
No. Boot into hboot. Hold the down volume button during power on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
420.34 MB, doesn't that seem rather large for a radio? This is the correct one to use though on Das BAMF Sense 3.0 right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dms76:
No I believe this is the full rom for MR2.5 check out

[HTC Inspire 4G] volumnus:
I have downloaded the radio I want from the radio thread. I am putting the zip in the romzip folder and renaming it rom.zip. What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
What error are you receiving? Make sure USB debugging is on.

An alternative is to name it PD98IMG.zip and flash the radio through hboot.

Make sure to verify the md5sum before flashing
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
So you're saying you dispossessed one of the radios from the inspire radio thread in the dev section, correct?

If so, it sounds like you are going through some unnecessary steps.

Once you download one of the radios from the above-mentioned thread, you put that file, which is already named correctly, PD98IMG.zip, into the root of your SD card.

Verify the MD5 of that PD98IMG.zip file, checking it against that posted for the radio.

If it is identical, proceed...

I have fastboot unchecked, reboot the phone and get into hboot.

Select bootloader (I think. I don't do it THAT often. :p )

After a second or two, it should look for the file, and scan it.

Push the corresponding volume button to confirm applying the update, let it do its thing.

Reboot.

Confirm baseband reflects the newly flashed radio.

Flash appropriate RIL for the radio, if necessary, via cwr.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
WHAT'S MD5? Is it important for us? Im just flashing many radios to test which one works best for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Johnn_ares:
MD5 checksum is a way to verify if the file has been corrupted in either download or transfer and yes it is important, especially with the radio if you flash a radio; at the least you will not be able to flash the radio, at worst with a bad file you have the opportunity to

Brick you phone

! When loading roms patches ect. using md5 ensures a proper file for install. If your in the us I would suggest sticking with the latest stock AT&T radio until you settle on a rom and then only change if you don't have the performance you think you should have.

Droid x 2!
[General Questions and Answers] noesilva:
Ive tried all three i recommend the droid charge
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
I'm on Sprint but I work at a Verizon retail store. I've used all the phones. The Droid X2 is not much of any upgrade from the Droid X. It's basically a Droid X without a camera button, and with a dual core CPU. Not really worth it, especially since it has an encrypted bootloader. I really like the Thunderbolt (I have an Evo), but if you're going to play a lot of games, get the Droid Charge. It has the same (or slightly better) CPU that's in the Epic, and the Thunderbolt doesn't quite compare in terms of speed. There's also the LG Revolution, which is Bing'd out, but is still a great phone. Personally, if you're going to be gaming, I say go for the Droid Charge.
[General Questions and Answers] icebear8:
i saw that the droid x2 has a duel core and well my epic has the same cpu as the charge is there a BIG speed difference in these phones? even after root and everything clean from crapware?

i saw the charge is 299$ where the droid x2 is 199$ is it rly worth the 100$ to get a single core cpu? i know the screen is bad ass on the charge but i heard the x2 is pretty darn good
[General Questions and Answers] PharmCAT:
Don't forget that there is more to the phone than fancy hardware. Droid X2 might be nice, but it still runs moto blur, a UI that often is rated as one of the worst ones of Android. I personally remember playing around with the original Droid X at the VZW store months back and the model on display was lagging from menu to menu.

Software > Hardware, at least in most cases.
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
I won't lie, the latest version of Motoblur on the Droid X / Droid X2 is not bad at all (though a little laggy on the home screen). But the thing has an encrypted bootloader, which means you can't flash custom kernels, which means your ROM selection will be very limited. Also, the Gingerbread update also introduced something retarded: If you root and try to tether without a tethering plan, you will be redirected to a Verizon page to buy the plan every time you try to load a website.

I haven't used the Droid Charge enough to see differences from the Epic other than they use an orange/brown theme instead of blue on the Epic. Also, the Charge has 4G, so you'll be future-proof. On the other hand, the Droid X2 is dual-core so you'll be future-proofed in terms of performance (Android 2.3 and under don't make use of both cores). I'm really not sure how well it compares, or rather WILL compare against the GPU of the Charge, which is hard to beat.

In terms of price, I think the Droid X2 is priced pretty fairly. The Charge on the other hand is a $100 more and, besides HDMI output and 4G LTE, doesn't really add much to your Epic. In the end it's really up to you. You always have 30 days to change the phone. Drop into a Verizon store and try them out. But keep in mind that Quadrant Standard isn't optimized for dual cores and Neocore is optimized for Qualcomm (ie Snapdragon) chipsets.
[General Questions and Answers] icebear8:
i did forget to add a phone.... the sony xperia play i do play a ALOT of ps1 emualtor on my epic.... how is the xperia play? i mean i forgot it was even out lol im use to the 4inch screen but if its bad ass for games and then that maybe be the phone to get
[General Questions and Answers] feralicious:
Would someone mind explaining to a n00b what the above means? I too am considering the Thunderbolt (or maybe the Evo 3D).

TIA
[General Questions and Answers] icebear8:
he is talkin about benchmarkn its nothing really just a score on how fast is the phone and stuff but some programs are more into other CPUS then others so give more points to the slower cpu
[General Questions and Answers] Product F(RED):
I've played with the Xperia play. The good thing about it is that it's mainly stock Android (no skin, but it does have extra Sony Widgets and some crapware). It comes with Crash Bandicoot (the PS1 version) and some Bruce Lee game, among other games. It played pretty smooth, but it only has a 1GHz Snapdragon, so nothing too impressive. If you want a video with a good benchmark, watch this one. It even compares it to other phones (ps the Optimus 2X has a Tegra 2):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_SyXQtcTmQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=102s

If you can hold off, the Galaxy S II, which is the most powerful Android phone out right now, will be coming to Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T anywhere from July to August. It's all unofficial as of now, but they're definitely coming because they've been named (AT&T Attain, Sprint Within, Verizon Function).

Quadrant Standard and Neocore are benchmarking apps used to show the CPU and GPU capablities of a phone. The issue is that neither will give you an accurate result of the raw power of a phone.

Avoid Moto ATM

I used to be a staunch supporter of Motorola phones, but in the last couple years, especially with Android OS, they've been very lackluster to me. I support the phones in our office, and we've got several versions of Motos here that give us all sorts of issues. Its amazing what features that Moto manages to turn off natively that all other phones seem to have, plus they go out of their way to make it difficult to update to custom ROMs, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] bejahnel:
I would definitely go with the TBolt, I've had mine for a couple months now and came from a N1 i was using with iWireless and love the TBolt, Rooted and running Gingerbread, everything works great
[General Questions and Answers] sublimaze:
I have a Tbolt & I love it. Mainly because (1) it has 4G and (2) the *very* active dev community here. You may not be concerned with 4G now, but it may come to your area before you are allowed to upgrade phones, so that may be worth considering. Also, some of the TB kernels allow overclocking up to 1.92ghz. The DX2 will proly still give better emulator performance, but I'd bet an overclocked Tbolt would emulate better than a stock Droid Charge (an o/c'd Charge would be a different story. Idk if you can even o/c a Charge, I don't follow the Charge threads). The last time I checked the Charge rom dev section, it was pretty sparse. That will change as more devs get their hands on it, but for the moment you can't get flash happy with a Charge. The Charge's amoled screen is freaking gorgeous. There is nothing else like a Samsung amoled. Colors are really vivid & bright and black is *black*, not dark grey like on a lcd. The Charge's battery life is better than the Tbolt too. I don't know much about the DX2 but I do know that if you like playing with custom roms & kernels, the DX2's bootloader will be very frustrating. I have never messed with Moto Blur but the majority of comments I've read about it are not positive. Ultimately it's a matter of tradeoffs & what is most important to you. If you want the best emulator performance & don't mind giving up custom roms, go for DX2. If you want an awesome screen & can wait a few weeks for rom development to pan out, get the Charge. If you've gotta have custom roms/kernels *right now* & don't mind lackluster battery life, check out the Tbolt.
[General Questions and Answers] feralicious:
Thunderbolt now or wait for Galaxy S II or Evo 3D?

Will the Bolt be outdated soon with dual processors out now? I'm in no real hurry and can wait a few months so I'm thinking of waiting for Galaxy S II since I've read it is going to be open source now.

In Los Angeles will it matter whether I'm on Sprint or Verizon as far as 4G performance goes? The speed tests I've found are outdated and one listed Verizon as the very worst performing network but they tested in Columbus, OH and people posted that it wasn't an accurate test because of that.
[General Questions and Answers] muerteman:
I would go with the thunderbolt, and i just did a few days ago actually. It has the most dev support on here and I hate moto with a passion so the choice was easy for me.

Hey guys,

I'm on a i9020a with CM7 and Netarchy OC kernel.

My pics get blurry when I send them out via stock MMS app. I receive pics fine though. I've tried changing the user agents but that's not working.

I can't recall if the phone did it on the stock ROM/kernel.

Anyone have any ideas? My N1 did MMS just fine. I searched but couldn't find anything helpful (ppl seem to be receiving blurry though, but that's not my issue).

Thanks in advance.

I'm confused about how he's trying to flash an unrooted version. How would you flash an unrooted rom in recovery? I would just flash a rooted stock rom. Or better yet, try mikG or synergy betas if you want Sense. They're better than the ota update IMO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshpdavis80:

[Vibrant General] tording99z28:
So I have one of the original Vibrants from last summer when they first came out. It doesn't matter what I do to the phone, update, root, rom, the gps signal always sucks and never works very well when using it as a gps to navigate somewhere as it always loses signal and the gps stops working.

My question is do you think its worth it to put it back to stock and call Tmobile and complain and see if they will send me a new one? Do the new ones still have the GPS problems? Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant General] brian4292:
I did that a few weeks ago. They said it was a known problem and that they wouldn't give me a new one. I told them that my volume buttons was loose and then they sent me a refurbished one. Don't tell them your phone is rooted.
[Vibrant General] tording99z28:
No I won't tell them it was rooted at all. I just want the damn GPS to work, it was sold to me on the basis that it had gps and it doesn't even work so it pisses me off.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Tell me if it works then I might do the same.
[Vibrant General] kmandel:
I had the same issue with GPS on an early Vibrant. I don't have a T-mobile contract, I just use a prepaid T-mobile voice sim with data via wifi (I have a CLEAR hotspot).

I expected T-mobile not to do anything without a contract, but to my surprise they easily agreed to an exchange. The rep went through a check list asking me if I had upgraded to the latest firmware and tried the Samsung app that resets the GPS. I said yes, and the next thing on his checklist was authorize the exchange.

It took 3 weeks for them to process my return and get the replacement to me. I don't know if its new or refurb. I had to send it in without battery, cell sim. ,memory sim or back, and they sent me back the same thing in a non-descript packing.

Again, I don't know if its new or not, it looks mint. The tag inside lists "STA 11.05" which I assume means its manufactured in May 2011, which again would indicate new. (There is also a bar code that says 10.08 on the tag, so I could be wrong).

Now to the bottom line. After a day of testing I only see a marginal improvement in the GPS sync time, but I may not have tested enough yet to know. I'm running stock 2.2 KB5. Besides taking a long time to sync, my old one would occasionally hang when the gps was in use. Too soon to know about that with the replacement.

My experience tracking the replacement through T-mobile was dismal. Eager to get it back I sent it fedex overnight. They promised 7 business day replacement and I "chat"ed with them every other day for status. They basically had no information including confirmation that they received it . All they could do was have me refer to my fedex delivery receipt. As they missed deadlines they made up stories, and unabashedly contradicted promises I could paste in from the earlier "chats". Escalating to supervisors was no better. Basically, until they actually shipped the return after 3 weeks they had no information that it even had arrived.

If you have a contract they may have better return processing options. I had to deal with the pre-paid rules.

Right now I'm not sure what I'm going to do. If the 11.05 date is real, I would hope that it doesn't have the bad solder connection that people have been hacking. I suppose I could try one of the other rom's that some people say work better with gps.

I'm also tempted to try and bypass customer support and write to some higher management at T-mobile to complain. I paid $500 for the Vibrant without a contract. If anyone has a contact I would like to hear about it.
[Vibrant General] xxcaponexx:
But do the new vibrants have the gps fixed?????
[Vibrant General] murse:
My guess is that the phone was originally built in Aug 2010 and refurbed in May 2011.
