Hi I'm posting this to inform xda users I am in the process of creating a website for app reviews for iOS, Android, and WP7. I will also include video reviews on all the apps I write about. There will also be a tutorial page for those platforms for hacks found on this website and sister site iphone-developers. I also want to get affiliated with xda (waiting for approval) to create video tutorials for roots and reviews of custom roms.

The website is http://appsreview.webs.com once the website goes and up and starts doing good I will transform it into my own url. So when you get the chance to check it out. Right now there is only and introduction page and a test iphone review page. So bookmark it and check it out within the next month.

Thanks.

hi,if i use z4root to root my x5 to remove some apps i dont need ,will a factory reset return the phone to stock condition if something goes wrong?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
you can unroot anytime with z4root, also nothing can go wrong. just be sure to download the superuser application
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sgtabuser:
i tried. factory reset will not remove superuser right. need to unroot with z4root.

btw, would like to know what does factory reset (the one bundled with phone) wipe from the phone?

I deleted them in the cust_backup folder using root explorer. I needed to set permissions to r/w in terminal
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sakis_the_fraud:
i think something is going on with z4root...

the thread is locked, i can't find the app on the market and when i download the attached file, my antivirus (Kaspersky) tells me that it contains a virus and deletes it.

any other app to root my X5?
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
Hi guys i've been noticing since last night that my home screen keeps foreclosing on me and whenever a message comes in it comes in slow. At first I thought it was my launcherpro acting so I decided to go back using the stock launcher but then the foreclosings kept occurring and even when opening Apps it would seem slow to open them. Can anyone help or tell me how to fix this? Thanks
[Nexus S General] gmap516:
I'm really sorry, but I couldn't help this...

Blame the bad economy if you're foreclosing!
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
Lol nice one
[Nexus S General] vulcanrav3n:
Whenever i get forces closes i usually solve it by clearing the data in the app manager or uninstalling and reinstalling.

Are you using a stock rom?
[Nexus S General] cabstrak:
Are you using stock ROM or custom?

Try reflashing the custom ROM if you are. Remember to wipe data / cache / dalvik. This usually solves most problem
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
My phone is not rooted its stock everything
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
Also when I flip through my home screens the contact is very delayed
[Nexus S General] vulcanrav3n:
Did the forcecloses start after you installed launcherpro?
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
Ive had launcher pro for about 2 months and it would fore close once in a while but nothing too bad. I uninstalled the app and it then the stock launcher started foreclosing on me
[Nexus S General] cabstrak:
I think one of the system file is messed up. I'm not sure though. Maybe you can try to unroot it and flash a stock rom (or hell, just go with a custom rom) to see if it's fixed.
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
I ended up doing a factory reset on my phone and everything is back to normal thanks for the help guys :)
[Nexus S General] bunilla:
usually FC are cured by fixing permissions.
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
I don't think you told anyone if you are rooted or not? I'm curious
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:

On a good note I noticed after doing the factory reset my battery life has improved greatly
[Nook Color General] shipkiller:
I have a four year old Blackberry Storm. I like the phone but it will not tether to my NC so I can use the phones internet.

Now I am looking for a new phone.

4G is not a required but it would be nice.

Suggestions?
[Nook Color General] martian21:
Please tell us who your carrier is.
[Nook Color General] shipkiller:
Sorry, That would be a big help....

Verizon
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
The Samsung Galaxy S II

is rather sexy.

But there are alot of great choices out there.

4G would be a good choice in general. Tether it to your Nook and you can easily stream all the media you want to your Nook and enjoy media on the 7" screen.

The Galaxy S II is coming to Version in July

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/08/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-said-to-be-verizon-bound-in-july/

Edit:

Oops, read the article closer, I guess Galaxy S II in July is not confirmed. read the update at the bottom of the article. Sorry.
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Definitely...

The 3 best verizon phones out there are the:

Thunderbolt (HTC) Good speeds, android 2.3.4 with gingeritis (a rom) root, sense 3.0 on that rom, but bad battery life. 4G though.

Droid Incredible 2 (HTC) I believe its Froyo, but sense 2.1 on stock rom with good battery. 3g though.

Droid CHarge (Samsung) Bad UI, bad manufacture. Android is OK with the customizations. But 4G + Extremely good battery + tethering = awesome time with the Nook
[Nook Color General] shipkiller:
Good battery life is a lot higher than streaming video. I almost never use my phone for this.

My phone is primarily for work. Email, phone, data.

I am a Submarine Combat Systems Electronic/Computer Engineer and I upload ton of Word/Excel files, PDF ect along with technical manuals and cheat sheets that I have developed myself to aid with any repairs that I have to do, in any part of the world. Having world phone coverage is NOT an issue. But the issue with that, is up until now 99% of all phone screens were too damn small.

The NC has fixed that issue.

I use Documents to Go on the Storm and now have it on the NC along with a bunch of other apps. I want to start to use my NC for email and such in conjunction with my new phone. Sometimes I get new schematics, PDF's etc emailed to me when I am out on some boat.

My long term goal is to make the phone and NC one integrated system. Transmitter/receiver on my belt, and NC in my hands.

Does this help?

Oh, rooting my new phone will have to be a must....:D

Thanks to all who have already responded.
[Nook Color General] ph00ny:
bad manufacturer? how so?

From the verizon porfolio, i would wait for more LTE phones to roll out. There is really nothing attractive coming out from them.
[Nook Color General] Landara:
I have never owned one, but the general consensus on this and most every other forum seems to be that Samsung is the worst manufacturer by a very large margin. I have heard various reasons why such as a horrible UI, bad build quality and extremely slow updates to current models. Having never owned one I can't confirm any of this but the XDA community as a whole seems to feel that Samsung phones are not a wise choice and I've learned never argue with them so I went HTC :)

Edit: Also do keep in mind that many newer phones are expected to have locked bootloaders. This means no custom ROMS or possibly no rooting... and that means that if you want tethering you will have to buy Verizons tethering plan. So, if you are wanting to do the free tethering provided by rooting your phone then you will want to make sure that whichever phone you buy can in fact be rooted! And in the case of many newer phones coming out this summer, that is very much in doubt I'm sad to say. :( But then again all these rumors may be just sky-is-falling panicky behavior by us newbs, the Chefs may be able to root and flash boot-locked phones in a month flat for all we know!
[Nook Color General] ph00ny:
Outside of the whole brand bias, general consensus including professional reviews are usually favorable for samsung's high end phones.

They did have some issues just like every other manufacturer and it may have seemed worse partially based on the fact that they had the single largest successful line up out of all the android handsets last year

Btw, galaxy s2 came with unlocked bootloader and received at least two updates since early may and 2.3.4 is supposedly under way. As for the carrier delayed roms, there is a real issue there when two identical devices on two different carriers ended up getting the froyo updates months apart.

Btw samsung released the gingerbread update before anyone else.
[Nook Color General] Drachen808:
They also just sent free Samsung Galaxy S II's to many of the Cyanogenmod developers. Also, it seems that the trend NOW is that the manufacturers will be unlocking their bootloaders. (samsung has never locked theirs if I remember correctly)
[Nook Color General] Landara:
Well that is good news. Maybe they are trying to buy their way back onto the XDA peoples good graces :P Hey as long as they have learned from their mistakes and are building quality phones now, nothing wrong with that! And I have no doubt that no matter what they buy the Devs, it won't get them any good press here that they don't deserve. Like I mentioned I never bought one. I've just heard hundreds of people posting about how "bad" they were for one reason or another. But I'm always glad to see another Android manufacturer step up their game, it's good for the community as a whole!
[Nook Color General] deboyz1014:
I have the Droid X and it play well with my NC using Wireless Tether.
[Nook Color General] shipkiller:
I picked up a LG Revolution. Seems ok, but battery life is not great. Better than the Thunderbolt but still not great.

Using wireless tether on the phone, I was able to get my NC to the internet using Wi-Fi. Attempted Bluetooth tethering but that was a no go.

Thank to all for the recommendations.
[Nook Color General] iolinux333:
my samsung galaxy s gt-i9000m is a fantastic bit of hardware that had lots of software issues that made out seem as though it was bad hardware. I found software fixes for everything that was wrong, e.g., microphone distortion, gps failure to lock, etc. & now it is a perfect device. Maybe HTC is better out of the box, but if you are a tweaker the galaxy is rewarding.

[Nook Color General] Eddog4DROID:
Thunderbolt, Droid Charge are the best options. If 4G is not a must, the Droid X2 has a dual core.

They all will do what you want. Just different styles which is up to your personal tastes.

I have now had htc samsung and moto phones (all Android) and there are pros and cons. Just go to a store and see what feels best when you hold it.

[Nook Color General] life64x:
There really is no "best android" phone IMO. There are different needs for different reasons and people. You mention that you want to make them work seamlessly, blue tooth or tethering both will work. As long as the phone is rootable and a selection is there for apps to work together from phone to NC, then the simple answer is with phone do you prefer? I always make sure my phones have a battery that can be removed..screen is easy on eyes and I have a good feel for it. Currently using my EVO which is sprint for both my nook, transformer and when also my netbook. I might upgrade to the 3d and even thought about samsung galaxy 2..from what a friend of mine told me who has a samsung...flash CM in it becuase of the update issues..he is TMobile..
[Nook Color General] dgozalie:
4g

Well

i use evo 4g with cm7 latest nightly to tether to my nc... it compliment each other....

[Nook Color General] hololight:
I owned a galaxy s on tmo before. I liked it a lot. Very light, great screen, decent power. No build issues other than flaky GPS (vibrant version only?) Hard to brick for those who flash a lot. Problem with file system early on(due to proprietary fs), solved by roms. I actually unlocked it and still switch to it from my inspire4g. No locked bootloader.

But really, any android (that is unlocked bootloader) will work... its all about preferences.

Sent from my Apple IIe
[Nook Color General] shipkiller:
Do you really still have a IIe? (yea, right) That would be awesome. I had two of them at one time...
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Well, a someone said that the Thunderbolt is the best. Not really. The battery life on that thing STINKS! I've experienced it first hand. Battery dead in 3-4 hours, and all I as doing was checking my mail, browsing, downloading small files. Dead. Droid Charge it probably the best bet, as it has good battery life and LTE. But if you don't care about the UI and that stuff, go for it.
[Nook Color General] tech_head:
Hi,

If you on Verizon the DroidX/X2 are nice because there is a firmware flash that will skip the "You Need a Tethering Plan" crap. If you will be using a a NookColor (like me) there is no way to look at the traffic a detect tethering because the traffic looks like that of the phone, Android browser and such.

Not to be nit picky but ..

Storm is 2.5 years old. Storm II is 1.7 years old.

[Nook Color General] The Flying Penguin:
Battery life does stink at first but seems to improve over time. Between doing the battery removal trick after a full charge a few times and running the Cyanogen pre-alpha rom, I am getting pretty decent battery life. I managed to get around 19 hours (my personal best) just yesterday although this was with virtually no use but I did have data turned on. I probably get around 5-10 hours with heavy use consisting of music and video playback, streaming music, web surfing, mobile hotspot, and Bluetooth headset use. That is all on 3g though. I'm not in a 4g area long enough at a given time to give an accurate assessment of battery life under such conditions.

So yeah, I'm going to recommend the TB. If you are willing to put a little effort into getting good battery life then it is a great phone. I use it as a mobile hotspot for my NC all the time and it works pretty well. I haven't got Bluetooth tether to work yet but I'm running Cyanogen pre-alpha on my TB and Cyanogen nightly build on my NC so it may have something to do with that. I imagine it will work with the propper builds or a future build.
[Nook Color General] jasoraso:
I second the TB.

The ONLY downside is the battery life. I've worked around this by buying 2 chinese batteries and an external charger for $12. just keep an extra battery in my car. or bag. or pocket. isn't a big deal.

running sense 3.0, Gingerbread ROM is awesome.

phone comes w/ a 1ghz processor, that is easily clockable daily to 1.4; or if you want to push it to 1.9 ghz.

32gb micro sd included is a bonus.
[Nook Color General] advocate2:
I just picked up my NC and rooted to CM7. It's a blast. I have been on ATT with Blackberry for years and my contract is up in August.

Is the current list Android phones for ATT the only choice, or will the TMobile phones migrate over to ATT? If so, am I better off with one of the TMobile phones?

I tried the P__IMG.zip method as recommended above, but it always say "No image or wrong image!". I tried at least 6 difference radios from the list with available radios , always verifying the md5 . I tried flashing zip from sd card with CW Recovery with pretty much the same success: It says:

CloclworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.8

-- Installing: /sdcard/PD98IMG.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

Please, help - Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
If you are trying to flash a radio from cwr, it won't work.

This is how I've done it, which is pretty standard:

Turn fastboot off, reboot into hboot, with the PD98IMG.zip in the root of the SD card. Let it find the zip, confirm, wait for it to finish, and reboot.

Have you followed the instructions in the inspire only radio thread in the dev section?
[HTC Inspire 4G] azzieo:
Problem solved after using different SD card.. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ribcage:
I have an HD2 that I purchased from O2 Ireland. I switched to 3 Ireland about two months ago due to an unlimited data deal. I just changed sim cards and everything worked; phone, data, wifi.

I flashed the latest stock rom 3.14.206.1(04666)WWE that would work with my phone. It's the stock rom for the O2 HD2. Since flashing, I cannot get a data connection. The phone works fine so I know the phone isn't locked to O2, but when I go to Connection Settings, the only choice in the drop down menu is O2!

Is there any way to bypass this so that I can set the phone up automatically to three? Is there perhaps some other work around. Imagine, an unlimited data plan and I can't use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has pretty much all the networks in it. You can uninstal it after its done its thing to save 12 or so meg.

Install it, reboot, it will auto run, uninstal it.

flash clockwork recovery for vibrant not vibrant mtd. then after that download the update package and insert it on ur sd card. Go into ur rom manager and go into recovery from there and reinstall packages and do it twice.

Have u done this before? make sure ur phone isnt hardware locked??

downgrade with odin to 2.1 with the proper tar file and pit file. Then when ur on 2.1 its alot easier. Put the update package on ur internal sd card and turn ur phone off. Then hold down both volume buttons then power it back on and when u see vibrant come on let go of the power button. U will then see recovery then all u have to do is reinstall package and u may have to do that once or twice but then after that u will have the green recovery and ur phone will be rooted and ready to rock with some roms.
