My rep said this word..."soon". That's when the fix update is comming out. Didn't say or know anything about 2.3 gb. So I'm going to believe it when I see it.

tmobile reps barely know the phones coming on the 15th, let alone updates and the update thats suppose to be coming is a battery fix and reboot fix. the LG girl told me a few weeks ago, first update won't be gb.

Noticed the G2X is available for ugprade again on t-mobile.com, it was missing for a while. Bets on whether or not the "new" units available have any actual changes such as GB? Guess we'll know soon (though I doubt it)...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caspersfi:
Alright guys...this is what I did. I downloaded the newest radio MR2 for Gingerbread...then downloaded BAMF 2.0-5. I went into hboot...flashed the MR2...then rebooted and went into recovery via Rom Manger and attempted to flash BAMF 2.0...recieved a couple of error messages followed by (bad). Oh and I did wipe data before flashing Rom. So then I did a system restore....I just rooted a couple of days ago and as soon I downloaded Rom Manager I did a nand backup of everything stock.

Now I don't have data..when I go into hboot it goes to the "do you want to update" part. The only thing I have in CWM is the nandroid stock restore and the BAMF Rom I could not flash. I've googled for the past hour and cannot find out how to get out of this. Hope someone can help...thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caspersfi:
Oh and while I was freakin out trying to fix whetever I screwed I lost CWM. No longer have Rom Manager.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patdroid1:
you need to delete the Gingerbread (MR2) PG05IMG from sd card...download one of the froyo radios and flash in bootloader just as you did the Gingerbread radio. then you should be able to boot back up into your restored nandroid rom.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SQFreak:
The reason you don't have data is that you restored down to a Froyo (MR1) based ROM, but that does not restore your radio. Grab the 1.13.605.7 radio combo from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045081 and flash it the same way you did the MR2 radio. You'll have data back. GB-based ROMs won't work, but if you want it back to normal, do that.

Now, redownload and install ROM Manager from the market. From within ROM Manager, you can reflash CWM. Remove or rename the PG05IMG.zip from the SD card then reboot into recovery to verify. Now you're all set.

Next time, keep track of what the errors you got from CWM were when you tried to flash the ROM. It's really hard to diagnose a problem without them.
[Dell Streak 7] alchrisr01:
I just moved from an iPad WiFi to the DS7 for use in my work. The smaller size of the DS7, FLASH, and the camera sold me. I have read everything I can find (untold hours) here and elsewhere trying to solve my issues, with not a lot of luck. I even called Dell Mobile Support. I did get some help from a nice lady in Texas, but my second call was a waste. Anyway, on to the issues at hand.

1. Dell sync sucks! Life with the ipad was wonderful in this regard as iTunes syncs perfectly with outlook and IE9. I have installed MyPhoneExplorer and it does get the job done,except for IE9 bookmarks. Any help on this? Any other sync app that you use to do this better?

2. DS7 will not recognize adhoc WiFi networks without rooting and installing new files. I use my TP2 with the HTC mobile WiFi router app for wireless on the go. Again, no problems with the iPad or laptop just DS7. Anybody know of a Wmo router app that creates a regular network?

3. FroYo 2.2.2 can't be rooted (see above fix needed). I have read this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1084526

If I understand this correctly, this is a way to root 2.2.2? After this is done then can I mod the files to get the adhoc issue fixed?

I would rather change the router app on my phone while the DS7 is still in warranty. I have only had it a week, but I would really like to have WiFi on the go. The lady at Dell told me that these problems were Google mandates for the OS. I guess Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are better friends than Michael Dell and Sergie!

Thanks to those of you with the knowledge to make our devices work better for us.

[Dell Streak 7] alchrisr01:
problems solved, partly

I got brave and rooted the Streak following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1084526

No problems, quick and easy. I downloaded the Super Manager app from the market for making changes. After playing around to figure it out (not at all like Windows) I made changes to the wpa_supplicant and can now connect to my phone's wifi! Hint to those new like me: I downloaded the wpa file to my laptop and unzipped it then copied into the dowload folder on the Streak via USB. I tried to download to the Streak and open/copy/paste with no luck. I also changed the phone files mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123249

I renamed them to .old and left them where they were. I now have a cell signal bar with an "x" over it and no power usage in the status.

One issue that I now have under settings/about/status, I get an error message that process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly with a "force close" button. Is this a product of Clockworkmod?

I installed Task Killer and it works fine, but I thnk I need a start-up manager to keep apps from starting until I need them. Any suggestions?
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I'm running with CWM and I don't get that force close issue, for what it's worth.

Task managers are a mixed bag on FroYo+ devices, but they're generally not needed. I used to use one because I thought that, coming from a Windows world, if an app is under running services it's taking up battery and processor resources. This isn't the case with Android. Try running without your task manager for a while and see if you get better performance and battery life; I certainly did. The only thing I use a TM for now is to kill a bunch of apps prior to running something extremely memory intensive, like Galaxy on Fire 2 or a benchmark test (but this has very little practical value in day to day usage).

You can find a CPU usage monitor instead of a task killer; those are much better. Look for apps that use a lot of processor that you don't want to and uninstall them (products of poor coding). But as for memory management (aka task killers), you're almost always better served just letting Android do its thing.
[Dell Streak 7] alchrisr01:
I found the problem on the status issue. By renaming the phone files it created an issue. I have not tried moving them. Not sure if it really was that important since not much is under the status anyway.

Thanks for the info on the task manager. I installed Super Manger because that was recommended in one of the threads to edit and make changes after root. I installed Advanced Task Killer after much reading as well. I notice that when I kill task the available memory increases a lot. There seems to be too much BS that just starts on its own, thats why I thought a startup manager would help. Again, I am windows oriented I suppose.
[Fascinate General] loki9:
So i noticed since installing custom rom, that my 3g data no longer works, the signal is fine, i can make/receive calls but as for data, market/internet anything requiring a connection it just does not work unless connected to a wifi network, and before you ask! yes i was able to do it before from stock so its not a service provider plan issue lol.
[Fascinate General] Lydar:
First, is the mobile data on the phone itself turned on? I know from using a few different rom they have the ability to turn off just mobile data.

Other than that, I know verizon has had some problems which only required an ESN swap (changing the phone connected to your account to another phone, then back to your current phone is the process to do this), but I also see from your profile that you are on Telus, so I merely offer these two options in hopes that one may help.
[Fascinate General] loki9:
well i haven't checked that actually, lol so i will, but i'm on a telus network if i could make a sig lol id have that info sorry haha. Oh yea it is displayed there haha my bad.
[Fascinate General] loki9:
k just checked, am i in the right place (just to make sure) Settings -> wireless and network -> mobile network ->3g Packet Data ON

and if so, still no luck.
[Fascinate General] loki9:
How do i do this ESN swap?
[Fascinate General] Lydar:
Yeah that's the correct information, if you haven't done it already, I would at least try toggling it off then back on and see if that fixes it.

After that, as I said before, I don't know much about the Telus Fascinate but I'm sure that there are a few developers or people experienced with Telus Fascinate lurking around the forums that may be able to help. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
[Fascinate General] loki9:
That's Okay, lol the ESN swap is it difficult? maybe its the same for telus as verizon..
[Fascinate General] Lydar:
for verizon a person could log into their online account and switch to an older phone, then switch back. I personally had to take my phone to Best Buy and they could do the ESN swap for me there.
[Fascinate General] xactnode:
Again not sure on telus......but you can change the esn by a number up or down and not use another phone. I have completed this process several times when I have lost 3g. You will force repartion of data.
[Fascinate General] Tacticalkiller:
It sounds like your having the same problem iv been having. If your 3G icon is disappearing a dmu reset should fix your problem.the esn swap is a way of resetting your dmu but I find it easier to just call into tech support and tell them to do it. If they refuse make them or hang up and call again. Once you get some one who will do it it takes 2min.
[Fascinate General] s44:
LOL wait... ESN swap is for CDMA phones. Telus is GSM.

OP, you didn't flash a Verizon Fascinate ROM onto your Telus model, did you? If so, you need to do a full stock Odin including GSM modem.
[Fascinate General] xactnode:
Hence not on sure on telus. Obviously esn is of no help with gsm. Thanks for the info.
[Fascinate General] Lydar:
Yes thanks for the info, definitely good to start learning about telus since it's going to show up more and more on these forums

I had a lot of problems with my 3 g going away. There wasn't even a 1x just bars. I was frustrated to the point of getting a different phone. I had verizon put a different phone on my account then out my samsung back on and it fixed it. Hopes this helps.
[Fascinate General] loki9:
i could just tell them my data isn't working and see what they do i just wanna make sure that nothing they do will brick my phone...lol
[Fascinate General] s44:
I'm guessing it's an APN issue. Make sure you have a Telus APN in there.
[Fascinate General] loki9:
LOL i just came to say i solved my problem and thats what it was lol, thanks anyway now i have 1 issue left, my market and internet data works now without wifi thanks to the apn realized it wasn't there. Now i cant send/receive picture msgs...is this a rom defect? or..cuz i know some roms have bugs...i guess that would prob be a question for the rom dev hmm..well this has been solved anyway.

I had the infamous 3g issue with an interesting side note...

The esn swap worked perfectly, however, when I used *228 with option 2 (update roaming capabilities) the next day, my 3g started dropping again. Did another esn swap, and its been fine now for 4 days. I did use the *228 option 1 both times and nothing changed... only when I used option 2 the first time did my 3g start dropping again.
[Fascinate General] godofwar762:

[Fascinate General] xbamf22x:
I had a similar problem were I only had 3g, no 1x. I activated another verizon phone then re-activated my fascinate and that solved everything. Hope that helps.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
I've had many different problems with my Droid Incredible 2 lately. Im not sure if these are normal but my phone is far from fast anymore. its actually extremely laggy on the homescreen, switching from panel to panel takes a few seconds. Opening any app takes a good minute to finally launch, and what is very annoying is my messaging app. For example, i could have 3 new texts. I'll open my messaging app, and after about 30 seconds it will finally open, and i'll see my new texts appear and refresh after another short amount of time, then opening an individual conversation takes another small amount of time, then when i go back to my list of conversations, it still says theres a missed text from that person, and it could take a couple hours for it to refresh itself and display a sent text, and it been like this for a couple weeks now. About a week ago, i did a full factory reset, and i have absolutely zero widgets on my phone, uninstalled every application except for Facebook, i havent touched a single setting. What should i do?

I forgot.. after you get that installed, go ahead and clear the log. restart your phone, go through the things that are causing you problems, and send it. As far as I can tell, this isnt a widespread problem.

I have serious lagging when I try to watch videos I recorded with the phone, after watching one vid its painfully slow to respond.

I haven't noticed any substantial unresponsiveness. I use LauncherPro for my homescreen, though, so I can't speak for Sense home experience. Everything seems pretty stable for me, so it's definitely not widespread.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
I mean i can deal with the sense 2.1 being a little slow, but how slow and unresponsive the messaging app is really bugs me, and i dont get why lately, especially after a factory reset
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] xgunther:
Yeah, the messaging app is really becoming a PITA for me. I've changed all the storage settings and even after I delete all my messages, it's still laggy.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianphanz0r:

tango, fring, yahoo mess, qik, oovoo are some good alternatives
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd6noob:
what do you mean exclusive?? you mean only Gtalk is able to only call Gtalk only?

with the video calling apps, does it work with each other or both parties need the same app?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianphanz0r:
exclusive - : limiting or limited to possession, control, or use by a single individual or group

i believe only phones running android 2.3.4 can use gtalk video. not many phones have that available, thus making it exclusive. both parties need gtalk to do video chat

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaake:
As far as I gleamed, you have to have the correct version of the rom installed before you root. So if you want to root with CF-Roots KE7 kernel package, you have to first install a KE7 Rom.

To get back to your stock version you have to get a hold of the correct carrier branded rom and flash it with Odin. Take a look here.

By the way, you can find out wich version you currently have by entering *#1234# in your dialer.

I do not think that all stock kernels and their CSC and MODEMs are available or even noted. I flashed a custom ROM and would like to get back to the unbranded Netherlands version (likely the same KE2 for Benelux) but its unlisted even on samfirmware.com

I should think that flashing any stock version for your region (EU/USA/ROW) would leave the warranty intact in so far as a Samsung repair centre won't care/tell the difference.
