[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
All phones come with the .86.xxxx bootloader, you cannot load the .85.xxxx bootloader to the phone till after one has rooted and s-off'd the phone. ;)

as quoted from here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14573409&postcount=15

there are two ways to root our phones.

1) root.sh, regardless of what VISIONary or root.sh package you use. This will only root phones with good eMMCs. If your phone doesn't root via this method, then you have a bad eMMC and shouldn't root your phone.

2) ./gfree, regardless of what VISIONary or ./gfree package you use. This will root your phone regardless if you have a good or bad chip. you are setting yourself up to be royally screwed down the road, if you use root.sh it fails multiple times. Then use ./gfree to root it.

you are correct in the assumption that ./gfree will root your phone no matter what. But it will brick you phone if you have a bad eMMC. It might not happen right away, it might not happen in a week, or a month. But it's coming. There are thousands of threads all over the webs of people with bricked phone who use ./gfree to root their devices with a bad eMMC. there are significantly less threads of people who use root.sh and have bricked their phones.

advising someone to use ./gfree after they've admitted that root.sh didn't work, multiple times, w/o a fair warning is ignorant and not really helping anyone. a rooted phone is nice, a bricked device is totally different....

Yes I do and s off, but no root access and visionary wont root it after I successfully temp rooted, then booted did terminal emulator, wen I went to perm root it said I had to temp root first
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
settings > applications > all > search for super user > delete the icon > reboot the phone > try visionary again.

Try that, it should help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepza:
Not true. Visionary doesn't permaroot for all of the good eMMCs. Verify which eMMC you have. If you don't have ADB set up, then temp root (although you're having problems with that currently) and then in Terminal Emulator:

cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name

That will report out the name of the chip you have. SEM=good.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King350z:
delete the icon or uninstall the program, then try to temp root again with visionary and go through the steps?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
delete Super User from the Application menu, via the settings. Then try to temp root / perma root again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
you have no clue what i'm saying.

VISIONary will not perma root a phone at all. You must manually turn s-off. You need to do that one of two ways. Either with the root.sh or the ./gfree method. both of which use VISIONary in their independent process. root.sh will not root bad eMMC phones. ./gfree will root either or without a problem.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King350z:
will try it thanks, I don't know if it makes a diff but wheni open visionary now while temp rooting it just flashes for a few minutes?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
That's why i said earlier to reboot after you delete the superuser.apk. It will clean all of the current cache out.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King350z:
Thank you for the help, will try it out when i get a chance later tonight or tomorrow, hope it works
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtab_11:
Could someone help me make informative choice? It looks like cm 7.03 is the best as of now (2 weeks of forum reading ).

Please confirm some questions about cm 7.03 ?

Do both speakers work correct and support stereo as original build?

Does light sensor worked appropriately?

Does camera work?

Volume and soft home buttons fully supported?

G sensor fully supported?

Does anyone tried Skype videocall / voice call? Doest work?

Does YouTube works well?

I know about HD decoding issue but what it means for video playback? Does it play 1080p? Does it playback 720p? Max video file size? Does it play video files at all?

camera is pixelated
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace7196:
Everything you mention above is fine EXCEPT video/picture taking. You can take pictures with the "camera fun free", and video is okay with Oovoo and Yahoo (Skype doesn't support video, and probably never will now that M$ bought it).

They above "work", but are always rotated 90%. ALWAYS. I tried some fixes (sensor fix, etc), but nothing worked (or it broke something else). Since the girlfriend needs this tablet for her trip to Europe (so she can call home), I settled (after MANY roms) on Calkulin's G-Tab v1.1 and pershoot's latest kernel. I have usable video and picture taking abilities, and it's damn snappy. Sure it's no CM (I have it on my G1 and Nook Color and love it!), but for someone who needs things just to work, that's the best bet.

I know, why doesn't Sprint advertise that fact? I've found myself surprised when I get a call while doing interweb things and everything continues as is. By the way, I think HBO GO thinks 4g=wifi.

I have googled something while on a phone call without 4G or wifi. Heavy traffic stops or crawls so much you may think it doesn't work or timeouts.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Censura_Umbra:
Okay everyone, let me teach you a little something. AT&T and T-Mobile both allow you to use data while on a call, why is that? It is actually because, back in the days before data, AT&T used ONLY GSM radio frequencies. These were perfect for phone calls and texting, but once data connections were required, their network couldn't handle it.

However, Sprint and Verizon were fine, because they used CDMA, a network that allows them to handle voice and data on the same frequency.

GSM providers were sad, so to fix it, they added a CDMA frequency to their arsenal. This means, they use two frequencies at the same time a GSM frequency to handle calls and text, and a CDMA frequency to handle data. So while you are on a call, the CDMA frequency is still free, hence the talk and web simultaneously.

Sprint and Verizon, however use CDMA for everything, so when you make a phone call, the network is being used. So data can't also get through. But 4G is yet another frequency so that can be used at the same time as a phone call.

Does this make sense?

Also, while GSM can penetrate buildings better, it is also much less reliable. It's large wavelengths allow it to travel through walls better, but also cause the dredded dropped calls that AT&T experience so much. I'll take CDMA over GSM everyday of the week. Besides, other then the rare occasion in which we are downloading (though we should never download something that big over 3G) we don't NEED talk and data at the same time.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbadboy2007:
Why would sprint advertise a flaw. That's why att advertises that they can talk and surf with the iphone duh
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsosmrtgeek:
i know it doesnt work and it takes forever. but i am a flashaholic and damn it sucks when i go to work and the rom i have been waiting for gets released :mad:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePrime:
There are a bunch of errors here.

CDMA can do Voice and data at the same time. Verison did not want that, and as the largest CDMA company, every one stopped developing new and better protocols and by default standardized on the Verizon way.

But not all Dev stopped. Outside North America there are several CDMA carriers that use EVDV? and other protocols that allow simultaneous Voice data connections on their frequencies. I believe Russia does on their 450MHz system. In fact these protocols are built in to any newer phone and all new tower equipment, but has not been implemented. Some have suggested when Sprint finishes their soft radio upgrade, they may offer it on a new phone.

Censura_Umbra had much good info, but it is not NECESSARY, from a tech point of view to have two different frequencies to do voice and data. It has been suggested that ATT wanted TWO separate systems for voice and data, as that is how big telcos are. I find this accurate.

One should also note that there are SIM CDMA phones. SIM is a separate tech entirely. North American Vendors do not use SIM cards to protect there handset hardware revenue streams. It is also why they lobbied so hard to try to get ESN modification illegal.

Final point. There are plenty who complain about frequency penetration.

1) While lower frequencies do penetrate things better, and thus may have more cancer risk

2) They also take more power to create. Thus reducing phone life.

3) Frequency attenuation do to penetration is predictable. With modern protocols, data rates can be unaffected. These things are not being implemented do to the FAT revenue streamed on handsets.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atlienzz:
I'm not sure what everyone is talking about, I use 3G a lot while on calls.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kal*El:
I'm very well versed in gsm cdma and tdma networks....voice and data at the same time will depend on a personal preference. I enjoyed using it bc I do meetings on the go. Sprint's network will allow that.

Ppl are getting confused with 3G...bc they assume since ATT has this that all carriers should have it..4G allows this.....

has anyone noticed that the media volume automatically lowers (if its on high/max) when the headphones are disconnected?

this is kinda of annoying for me as i only really use the headphones jack to connect to my car stereo so i would prefer it to be a bit louder than normal.

ive tried it on PowerAMP, Meridian and the stock music player

Is there a way to stop this from happening?

Hi

It is my first post in forum.

I have SGS2 with 2.3.5 of Android.

I have the same problem, even when I don't use headphones.

Media volume (sms, email) is reduced at its lowest automatically when I receive an SMS or email notification. Then I have to kill all programs by (clear memory).

Any solution yet?

[General Topics] vbetts:
While I don't agree with Apple suing the Teenager and targeting him first, the parts were also obtained illegally, and he had no permission to sell apples products. His parents also were in on it too, so it was more a family matter than just him. What they're suing him for is basically what he made, that seems pretty fair to me.

Also haters gonna hate. If Apple didn't bring out the ipad, the tablet market would still be tiny and almost non-existent. Same with the smart phone market, and same with the mp3 market. They don't create the markets, but they easily have a hand in shaping them to something bigger.

Read other articles too that explain the situation more.

http://www.cultofmac.com/teen-who-s...d-a-laywer-to-defend-himself-from-apple/97469

Like I said, I don't agree with Apple targeting him like that, but the kits weren't his to sell.

[General Topics] SynisterWolf:
i feel a simple cease and desist letter would have been good enough. i dont consider myself as a fanboy but this. i dont think the need to sue him:

1. he was just trying to pay for school

2. all the clients that bought the kits had to take apart there phones thus voiding there warranty. so if they broke it then apple will charge full price to anyone who needed to get a replacement. more money for Steve.

they are makings him give all his money he made back to apple and shut down the site. if i were apple i would congratulate him and maybe make him a distributor. :D

[General Topics] BenKranged:

[General Topics] vbetts:
1. Doesn't matter, he is still selling an illegal product. That being okay, then it must be okay for me to sell a product that's also illegal to put myself through school! Thinking heroine might fetch me a good amount.

2. That's on the client then, since they decided to buy the kit.

I don't think some of you realize that what he did was illegal. I will say it again, even though I've said it a couple of times. The way Apple went after this kid I'm against, but the kid should not be protected or above the law and should have known what he was getting himself into. Intel does the same thing when people leak pre production cpus. It's one thing if it's just the kid, but it's his kid and his parents and his parents are responsible for him. Even if they weren't in on it, they could have easily just have said no to this but didn't.

Hello.

Wow. See - U.S. "intellectual property" law has become a burden impossible to bear, which is being exported worldwide - like the ACTA crap. Retarded patents being granted by USPTO without any prior review, RIAA, MPAA etc. lobbying their laws thru to force virtually unlimited copyright duration, strip all fair use right from people etc.

This idiocy is harming progress. Who profits? Lawyers? Sure. Jobbers? Definitely. Lawmakers that take money from these lobbyists? You bet. Consumers? Hell no way.

Wow. White iPhone 4, wheeeeeeeee. I must have it NOW, 111!!!!!!111!!

The only thing being wrong here is Apple not realizing they have succeeded in brainwashing people so incredibly that they are willing to fork out $300 for a piece of useless plastic (the "conversion" kit.) - what a missed business opportunity. They could have spared loads of cash selling just the useless plastic instead of the whole phone. Buy a black iPhone and get a white skin for only $300 - wow, what a bargain.

Disliking one brand does not automatically make you a fanboy of another rival brand. Your generalisation fails.
[General Topics] Dratini:

[General Topics] LiquidSolstice:
Obviously you don't know the difference between "disliking" a brand and having irrational hate for it. The majority of people posting in here have no real rational reason for their Apple hate, it's just all about how Android owners are "required by unwritten code of law" to hate all things Apple.

Apple's not perfect, but much of the reasoning I keep seeing for hating them is downright immature and retarded.
[General Topics] hungry81:
Even irrational hatered of something does not automatically equal fanboisim for a rival brand, although it is equally as pointless as irrational devotion.

I can like several products and dislike others for many reasons without being a fanboy for any one of them.

Irrational devotion and defensiveness for a brand is a sign of fanboisim. Not bothering to research and just purchasing on company marketing or brand loyalty can be a result fanboisim.

I am glad you can tell people what they think and why they think it. People like and dislike apple for a number of reasons. Conversely many of the reasons I see people telling me I should like apple I consider immature and retarded, and until I see features that appeal to me I shall not consider buying apple products.
[General Topics] LiquidSolstice:
It does when you supplement said irrational hate with further irrational/generalized/generic points about your preferred brand.

Yes, because I've said somewhere in my post that I hate Apple or that you should like Apple. /s

Are you even reading the thread title? It's something a 10 year-old would say. If it was Google suing a minor, you can be damn sure the title would haven't been phrased the way it is. I'm not telling ANYONE what to think, I'm asking people to think about what they're saying. If you still want to **** on Apple, at least use mature reasoning, that's all I'm saying.It's like watching the console wars (360 vs PS3) and the combatants are all screaming tweens who play Modern Warfare and whose mothers just bought them their consoles

Please don't play stupid. The Android fanboyism is here, and rampant. Each line of the irrational insults and hate that iOS and Apple get on here further confirms to me that there are complete idiots who exist on this forum who don't understand what impact Apple has had on the mobile landscape.

You respect your rivals, you don't hate them. Even if you don't want to be remotely polite about them, the least you can do is ignore what doesn't affect you, especially when you use retarded childish tactics to make your opinion vocal.

I think the biggest issue people see here is that people try to push the idea that because Android gives us choice, it must instantly be better. Where is the logic in that? I have the CHOICE to say **** the law and start shooting people at random, rather than stick with the law that says doing so is not allowed. Exaggerated? Yes. Retains the point? Very much so; Apple's strategy is not to be the mind-controlling Orwellian bull**** that most Android fanboys seem to think it is, they simply try to eliminate the need for choice by making all the elements of the phone and its OS as perfect, functional, and good looking as they can.

That doesn't make them worse, that just makes them different. You don't have to agree with it, but it doesn't make for a poor product, it just makes for a product that doesn't do what you want.
[General Topics] mnbrennan:
Although the kid shouldn't have sold the conversion kits, that was clearly wrong, there is something else here.

If he was able to sell these kits at $300 a piece, then there was obviously some moron willing to pay that price. Simple supply and demand. They are clinically insane.

Apple is also trying to send out a message here and declare that anyone willing to sell their product illegally will be held accountable. They are just trying to protect their intellectual property. I feel a little bit of sympathy for the kid, but he will know never to do it again!

I've never updated a ROM and was wondering exactly how to go about it. I have Coredroid 6.7 and want to update to 6.8, but not exactly sure of the steps to do it. I've got most of this ROM and rooting thing down, but not sure about the updates.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
The best place to ask this would be the core droid thread.

Usually when they release a new one, the release an update and a full flash. With the up date you do not have to do a full wipe, but you should always clear the cache and dalvik.

Keep in mind this is not always the case, and some updates do require a full wipe, which is why the core droid thread would be a better place to ask the question.
