[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.

Edit:

After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in

/sdcard/media/audio/notifications

Not

/system/...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragtag58:
Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.

Thanks again for your interest & reply though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanriver12:
is that where im supposed to place all my ringtones and such? cause i put them in a ringtone folder and sometimes when i restart the phone or lose a full charge my default ringtone changes, it's like the phone couldnt find it anymore...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WiredPirate:
OP its good you figured it out. How did you change the permissions? Never heard of that..?

That is where I keep them and it works great for me, I never have the prob where the default changes. but! You have to put them in their correct folders..

/notifications

/ringtones

First of all, this is not my work. I only compiled it.

This is the usual ClockworkMod recovery, compiled from the CM7 sources with additions/modifications by j_r0dd. What I've done is only to compile it for the HTC Desire HD. For details, check out the link to j_r0dd's original thread for the Nexus S.

The credits go to Koush for the recovery itself and to j_r0dd for the modifications. I haven't been able to test it on the HTC Desire HD, since I don't own one.

Original Nexus S thread with changelog here.

Download:

recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7.111102-j_r0dd_mod-ace.zip

20-Jul-2011 (v4.0.1.4.110720):

Bug fixes

Disclaimer

These recoveries are compiled using the latest commits from koush, j_r0dd and others. That means they haven't been thoroughly tested and might have minor/major issues. I take no responsibility for any damages this thing might cause, but most things should work as intended. If you want something guaranteed to work, I think you should stick with one of the older versions.

Thanks dude,
[Desire HD Android Development] DubelBoom:
if i use sense roms, this will still work fine right?
[Desire HD Android Development] zyonee:
I don't know of any issues when flashing Sense ROMs with ClockworkMod recoveries, but then I'm also not using Sense ROMs. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] p2pjack:
SD card is not recognized any fix for this ?
[Desire HD Android Development] jerrylzy:
Thanks..Flash it at once!
[Desire HD Android Development] zyonee:
Correct, because of a bug in the ClockworkMod 4.0.0.0 source code. Keep an older recovery handy if you're testing this.

You can get around the bug. Each time you get the error, you can "adb shell umount /sdcard" from your computer. It's annoying, and hopefully we can find a solution for it soon.
[Desire HD Android Development] haynesteve:
+1 on this Had to return to 3.2.0.0
[Desire HD Android Development] zyonee:
I edited 4.0.0.2, adding j_r0dd's mods and compiled it. Works well on Nexus One and Nexus S. No more sdcard mounting bug, it's been fixed. Can't test it on any other models myself. Updated first post of this thread.
[Desire HD Android Development] Doo Doo:

[Acer Iconia A500] manuelangelpr:
I was reading a little at the Acer's support website and look at this!!!

"If you set up a PIN or Password lock on the tablet, there is no way to unlock it without using the correct input. If you cannot remember the correct input, the tablet must be sent in for service to remove the password.

Note: All of your personal information, all stored contacts and any programs you have installed on your tablet will be erased during the password reset process."

I think (correct me if I'am wrong) this is the consequence of locking down the freaking bootloader, right?

What do guys think? I would like to hear you opinion.
[Acer Iconia A500] hal752:
Well in there defense you shouldn't really forget the password to a £450 device..

On another note I had this issue with Sony Ericsson. They wanted me to send the device to them because I forgot my Google password. I resolved this by doing a factory reset through a pc.

I don't think acer offer this though.

Edit: This isn't due to the boot loader. Its due to Google.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I use a complicated pattern lock.. and if I forget.. my 3 year old daughter can unlock it for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] manuelangelpr:
You know the human brain, this can happen to anybody. I've seen this happen more time that I can count.

What I 'am saying is, with almost any device (eg Iphone, Ipod, mobile phones, laptops, router) you can just do a factory reset by pressing some buttons during the POST, or in case of a laptop simply call helpdesk, authenticate your identity and they give a master password.

The inability of reinstalling firmware thru a PC makes a password reset (factory default of firmware load) impossible.
[Acer Iconia A500] hal752:
Yes I understand that we can forget the passwords for our device.

But if its a tablet whats stopping you from using a default one you use for devices?

In my opinion not doing a way off resetting the device is quite a smart move. If its stolen its stopping people from getting into your device.

A example off this would be when my dad found a iPod touch. All I did was connect it to a computer and wipe everything.

I like the idea off it being "bricked" makes it worth not stealing.

EDIT: Besides Google offer you away off recovering your password

[Acer Iconia A500] manuelangelpr:
I concur with you "I like the idea off it being "bricked" makes it worth not stealing", but really, will it be a deterrent from getting your tablet stoled....c'mon.

[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
theres probably some file/setting in the data partition that you can overwrite using adb... i dunno what it is, but im sure thats possible
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
wtf ?

I forgot my pattern last time, there is a small icon asking forgot your password...

and then I ve put my email and password and get log in without loosing anything...
[Acer Iconia A500] Fluffbutt:
That's what I heard too - if you forget the password or swipe sequence it asks for your Google/GMail user name and password.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
oh I do confirm that is TRUE

4 days ago, I wanna go eat lunch, let my tablet at office, and put a pattern lock... but like 1 minutes after I forgot my pattern... then that took me only couple of seconds to recover my tablet as i let it without pattern... just with my email and password....

so I am not scare to put a pattern lock, anyway... I will be able to recover it :D

you need to try 5 bad pattern to get the asking recover with email

After flashing an update.zip cos of the recent android update from Acer, I am stuck at a screen asking for password. I remember my google password but it's not working.

Resetting your Iconia Tab A500

How do I fully reset my Iconia Tab A500?

If your Iconia Tab A500 completely fails to respond when you press buttons or tap the screen, you may need to reset the hardware and software to factory default settings.

PRECAUTION

During the process, all data stored on your system will be overwritten. This means all your files, such as email and photos, will be erased. Therefore, we recommend making a backup of all personal data before starting the recovery process.

NOTE

You should perform a hard reset only when all other options have failed to restore your tablet to an operational state.

SOLUTION

To reset the tablet, use a small thin object, such as a paperclip, to press the recessed reset button. This button is located on the bottom side of the tablet, next to the USB connector, as shown in Figure 1.
[Acer Iconia A500] pfc.joker:
I wouldn't have it any other way - just like my phone, if it finds it's way into the wrong hands I want to be inaccessible to who ever got their hands on it - I've got mine set even more secure thanks to an ActiveSync policy from work - 10 bad passwords and the device wipes to default. A) keeps me from losing my data to a thief and B) keeps me from using it when the Irish in me gets me piss ass drunk and I send an email I'll regret in the morning ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
at least you corporate data is secure and nobody can steal it, that is very important.

anyhow if you want to reset you device to manufactory do the following:

power it off

keep the volume+ (volume up) button pushed and the power button, on power up your finger on volume+ (volume up) and release the power button.

you will get a message that cache and data reformatting is starting, and take it from there.

don't forget to put a update.zip on your external sd-card, preferably a stock 3.1 version.

In fact the problem might also occure if you have configured exchange activesync and encrypted your tablet, and if you have done some flashing of thors kernel. your passwords want work anymore. don't use thors kernel if you encrypt your device for whatever reason.

the paper pin thing does not work in this case.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cactus42:
That's a brilliant idea that the only way to unlock it is by sending it in or knowing your reset details. Means all my data is safe - yes the Tab can be used if it's completely reset but they can't get their hands on my accounts and data.

I must be in the minority here - I find it hilarious that people forget passwords. It amuses me no end when I get asked to reset them at work no end of times on a monday morning. I have to change all my passwords on a 30 to 90 day cycle at work, not allowed to reuse the last 10 passwords and there's 12 different accounts. Not forgotten a password in 16 years.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
how do you remember all your other passwords?

I mean, in today's world you have a password for everything.

Give it the same password as your bank card or keep it in a password program.

Oh I forgot, you might forget that password.

Use your daughters name.

"oh man, I forgot my daughter's name, honey, what is your name?"

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypeade:
i tried it and it did not work.only if i am misunderstanding this steps 1)Extract them and go down two levels to the "USB" folder -- and move that into your "NVFlash" directory. The USB folder has the .inf file for installation in it along with two other directories with drivers for the various operating systems. wht i did was put the three foder tht i extracted from the usb fold in the main sd directory folder that i create,i hope tht was correct.the other thing i maybe doin wrong is this 2)Point the Browse (and the USB install) at the "USB" directory under the "NVFlash" folder. When pointed at the "USB" directory, the driver installed and I was ready to nvflash. If you go back to Device Manager after the Windows install has completed, it will show the nVidia USB drivers near the top of the USB device list. What i did was browse to the nvflash folder i created as instructed at the begining of the direction then i clicked next,is this correct?

It is a special half white limited edition, with a perfect screen but some slightly roughed up sides.

Comes with:

Original Box

A case that was $35 new but is broken so it can be disregarded price-wise

A Seidio 3500mA extended battery w/ door ($75 new)

USB with three different wall adapters, including OEM one

A 32gb sandisk micro sd card (? I don't know if I should keep it for the 3d)

[Thunderbolt General] arh2o:
Very odd problem with this new full MR2, probably radio related. When i upgraded it obviously did the full wipe so I know it's not a software interfering. It's pretty much a fresh reset since 1pm.

Anyways i keep losing connectivity to 4g. it flickers to 4g, then 3g, then 1x. Then back to 4g for a second, then it just loses connectivity to the internet totally but shows full bars. Now i'm back at 1x.

I am sitting smack in the middle of NYC where there is always full 4g & 3g bars. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I've done numerous reboots, put my phone in/out of airplane mode, etc but i can't hold a 4g signal for the life of me. Didn't have this problem in the AM before i upgraded. It's now flickering between no internet connectivity and 1x as i type this. I wonder if this is network related or the new firmware?
[Thunderbolt General] flyodd:
I was having that issue before the updates (the first one) when I was in NYC. I honestly think it may be the 4g network. the way I solved it was putting my phone on CDMA(auto) and it just held 3g.

Interesting...I thought I would try this update again this morning with a different ROM (Das BAMF 2.0 - 5) and have had no issues at all. 4G is constantly connected with no drops.

sorry to necro, but this is the first relevant thread i found in search ;)

i am in a similar situation, before rooting (stock thunderbolt), i could exaggerate and say i didn't even know what the 3G icon looked like, constant 4GLTE uptime in washington, DC

i'm using INJ3CT3DTH3ORY (pardon me if i have stylized the name incorrectly) with an OVA MR2, and now i'm constantly 3G. i've tried every setting under "set preferred network." if i do LTE only, it'll show 4GLTE for maybe half a minute, and then fall into 1X. if i do CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto, it'll show 4GLTE for a similarly short amount of time, then fall into 3G. all the other settings deal with 3G only if i remember correctly, so i'm not even bothering to mention those.

thinking it might have been the radio, i tried flashing MR2.5 and MR.627, both giving me the same result.

any ideas?
