[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syborg:
Phone is set-up with debinged-debloated ED01 ROM and OTB 1.6 kernel.

Camera occasionally locks-up. At first I popped the battery (and lost all my photos) to re-boot the phone. Got tired of losing all my photos so I just left the phone alone to see what happens and it re-booted itself after a few minutes and saved my photos.

Bummer is I lost some cool photos from my vacation.

Anyone know a fix for this problem?

Thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzon69:
Same here except im on comrom 2.0 i wonder if i gotta do a fresh install hmmm...on a side note you can soft reset the phone by pressing and holding power and volume up for about 5-10 seconds
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FDro:
Try to use PBJ -50 kernel.

If that doesnt work, you need to reformat your SDcard.

If that doesnt work, record videos and try to get an average of when it gets recording failures, then pause 1 second before it reaches that threshold, wait a second and continue recording. Do this in the same interval for a full 3 minute recording.

I had the same problem as you guys, especially with recoding videos and it seems to have gone away after doing all of the steps above.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzon69:
Cool will give this a try thx
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrol:
PBJ -50 will cure it. Did for me anyways. OTB and my camera do not play nice at all.

When i try to get into recovery menu by pressing repeatably the center menu button,phone freezes.Any solution guys.:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CescVicious:
you enter xrecovery by pressing the back button (the one on the right) not the menu button :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockon Stratos:
Actually the left menu and volume buttons will let you get into xrecovery as well. Lately I've noticed that if you press any of these buttons repeatedly, it takes longer to enter xrecovery. Try only pressing the button 2 or 3 times.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Our phones are running on RFS file systems and that isnt the best.. actually its know to be very slow/laggy .. atleast when compared to ext4 filesystem

With a script thats available on xda to convert to ext4 we'd be able to do it, the only problem is ; we'd need our kernel to support the ext4 filesystem.

im not good with kernel building or anything like that but it seems its not too hard to do, as Krylon360 (Dev who built our CWM recovery) said to me

Now im guessing to someone who is familiar with kernels may see thats an easy task, but i just dont know if anyone with this phone has kernel experience atleast enough to get this task done. if someone could do this, our phones would be blazing fast, those conversions are basically like whats known as voodoo lagfix. opening apps are instant and overall experience is much better. also our quadrant scores would be around 2.2k+ (for those that care about quadrant). Hopefully all working together we can achieve this and have our phones 100% lag free

im going to keep doing more reading but i hope someone can chime in who may know more about kernels than myself
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] krylon360:
I dont have the zimage here at work. shoot me the STOCK KD1 zImage and I'll patch it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Man .. your too awsome. its attached in a zip below

Cant thank you enough, but for now.. Thanks again
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I added ext4 into the menuconfig and compiled the kernel from source, test this out and let me know if it works, otherwise you can wait for Krylon's version.

Please make a nandroid before testing this, as I'm not sure if this will work or not.

EDIT: My kernel doesn't work, don't try it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SiL3nTKiLL:
gonna test this out later today :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] gearhead27:
Tried it and got "Installation Aborted." a split second after I selected it. No go
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
tried it with what?

it's not a flashable zip...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] gearhead27:
That's it. I thought we just had to flash it in recovery
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
it worked for me using rm
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
O_o
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] jomarxx:
I flashed it and my phone works just fine.....or maybe I thought I flashed it lol...... no but seriously when I downloaded the file I just press open and use rm to flash... after fhlashing really fast the phone rebooted by itself and is working just fine
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
you've tested it and it failed ?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Yep, tried mine and wouldn't boot, had to flash the stock kernel. I'll look into it when I get home. Krylon will probably beat me to this just like CWM, but i'll keep trying anyways.

I've been trying to compile a stock kernel all day, but can't seem to get anything. It seems that I am using the wrong initramfs, but I can't seem to figure out what the correct initramfs is. hopefully krylon has better luck than me.

I have gotten a correct initramfs, thanks to Epsylon3 on #cyanogenmod-dev. I have successfully built the stock kernel, but still have yet to get ext4 support added.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Sending test kernel to AyoTeddy now, works for me, i'll have him test and then release it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] tweeklulz:
awesome

but why isn't this in development forum?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Because it was originally posted as a question, it'll be posted in the development forum when its released
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
my phone didnt go past the first Sidekick 4G logo with that kernel
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Huh. That's weird, how did you flash it? I just went straight to odin with the pit and kernel tar and it worked no problem

EDIT: PM'ing you another kernel I just rebuilt, let me know how it works out.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Just flashed it, my phone boots up fine.

Edit: i Reflashed the Previous one you sent me before with Ext4 Patch and it Booted .. Now im going to test the ext4 Conversion *Crosses fingers* i gotta hurry i got algebra regents to take in 3 hours lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
No go ..

hmm phone still doesnt boot with filesystems on Ext4 .. Stops at first SK4G screen logo

....*prepares Odin*
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
ayo, what ext4 method were you using?

I bricked myself trying to convert to ext4. we need an ext4 rom, according to every guide I can find. I just don't know what that entails. if you can make an ext4 rom, i'm almost positive it will work?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Supercurio is working on voodoo for our phones according to one of my sources, who also may have our first custom kernel (work in progress) within the next few days.. expect to see it on my updated ROM.

But as for voodoo lagfix, I'm not sure until how long it'd be available but we'll have to wait and see. Gunna see if he mentioned it on twitter or something..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ayoteddy:
Its not the ROM that needs to support ext4 but the kernel of the ROM. And then if your on a ext4 supported kernel your phone will boot if you convert to ext4, and I used a script I found on xda its also on the SGS4G forums.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
I just can't seem to find what's wrong with it, by all accounts it should work fine. I'm not entirely sure, but that script may have been different.

If you can tell me what's needed in the kernel, or what's different, I could build you a custom kernel.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] :
if someone could get me a MBR/partitions layout i could see about getting voodoo working

this post might help with doing that

[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
If you set a security pattern, then the custom rom's show that, instead of showing the lockscreen with data, and show the pattern only when you slide to unlock. That's how Sense does it.

Without that, what's the point of the lockscreen? You have to turn off security to make it useful.

Or does any Rom do it right?
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
The point of a lockscreen is exactly that. To lock the screen. If you set a pattern lock that becomes the lockscreen. Having to slide to unlock and then pattern unlock is redundant.
[EVO 4G General] voredroid:
cm7

In cm7 you can adjust 2 layers of lockscreen settings... for example my Evo is a blank screen when locked.. you can draw on it any way you want but unless you draw the correct shape it does nothing... but that still doesn't unlock it.. I have it set so the gestures only turn on flashlight and sound.. etc... to actually unlock you have to press menu and then your greeted with a full keypad not just numbers...

I have these same 1700 batts and they are good to go. With my Rom combo and running the battsave kernel with juice defender I'm lasting a day and a half with moderate usage.

Sent from Thunderbolt, Liquid Thundersense 1.5
[Thunderbolt Accessories] masri1987:
So your 1700 is actually 1500??

So far charged mine in 2 hours via wall charger. Feels lighter? And it doesn't fill in the back cover.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] fillyo:
Ok... I have cycled both of them once or twice. One lasts a little longer than the other. The good one battery lasts about 6-8 hours, when comparably I could probably get 8-10 hours with my stock battery. The other seems to last 6 hours or so. I can't say my usage pattern has been normal lately so a little hard to be sure on how good they are. Overall, comparable at best to stock, but for 2 batteries, and the external charger, I am satisfied fro $25. So if you were looking to pull the trigger, its worth $25. I always carry a spare with my now, it is kinda nice, because now I just do whatever I want without regard to battery usage.

By the way, I am in Chicago, 4g everywhere, all the time, and am running BAMF Preview 4 on the MR2 radio. I sync an exchange account (push), one comcast account (updates every 2 hours), plus weather syncs every hour. I usually do web browsing, email, couple phone calls, and a bunch of scrabble and XDA browsing.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jonnynov:
Thanks for the info, im definately ordering one today
[Thunderbolt Accessories] jonnynov:
How does the charger work? does it plug directly into the wall?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Beso:
Anyone know if can be the problem to have 2 different batteries (1 original and 1 fake 2000 MaH - Which holds much less than the original) and china battery charger?

So I charge 2000 Mah battery over charger, take original from phone when ran out and put it in charger and put 2000 MaH battery in phone and start the phone... and doing that over and over... Can something get wrong with phone by doing that? Can something get wrong with calibration...?

tnx

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RhynosAndroid:
Long story short, I have a G2x and don't really care for the available model specific dock, but found the dock for the Samsung Infuse 4g was more what I wanted. I've since rcvd it and as far as the fit and the charging, both successful [albeit, there is a small gap on either side, but not enough to be a deal breaker by any means...]

I then found I needed to DL the 'samsung home dock' app from the marketplace. Np, it's free... but wait, what's this, it's not there?!? Oh, turns out it's one of those sneaky apps[not unlike netflix at the moment] that is only visible to phns w/the right build.prop fingerprint. Still, np, I'll get it online from the xda forums, they have EVERY apk... They did and I did, still wouldn't install.

SONUVAB! Yep, buggered by the build.prop yet again!

So, now that the short version of my long story was found out to not be short, I am at a dilemma of sorts. I really want to be able to use the audio line out on the dock as well as the built in speaker [even though it's more of a novelty considering I doubt it is as good as the DTS capable speakers on the G2x] so I need the build.prop lines for a samsung model, the mfg, etc.

If you can help me, there is a big thanks in it for you... Not enough you say. Well, maybe a bought drink if you have that nifty link attached to your post.

Alright ppl, let's get crackin!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] RhynosAndroid:
Gotta bump this up. Any info at all on modifying my build.prop to mimic a samsung [infuse 4g preferably] so I can get the Samsung home dock app to install.

[G2 and Desire Z General] hockeyrcks9901:
Hello all!

Just upgraded my wife from the MyTouch 3G Slide to the G2 as she has to have a keyboard and we were on our 5th replacement Slide. So, as she is not the geek that I am, she will not be constantly flashing new ROMs and such. However, I am going to at least install the latest CM and I am looking for kernel suggestions. I already have root, s-off, new hboot, and all that, I'm just waiting for CM7 to finish downloading.

I started using Android with the G1 and constantly updating Radios, as well as ROMs and I currently use a Samsung Vibrant running a TeamWhiskey ROM. It's stable as anything, I like the theme, and CM7 still has some broken stuff on the Vibrant. I'm glad to see that Eugene recently picked up a G2 as he made some bad ass kernels and ROMs for the Vibrant.

So, let's here those kernel recommendations and why you recommend them.

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
Well am currently using mexdroidmod and their kernel is pretty awesome because its fast and stable. My best advice is to test the diffrent kernel and read through the tread, see what people say about it. All the kernels I have tried are all awesome so you should try them
[G2 and Desire Z General] ihakim:
pershoot's kernel. great batt life and OCing
[G2 and Desire Z General] HAK Devil:
Umaro's kernel has been rock solid for me and has tons of features as well. You can OC all the way to 1.9 Ghz if you so please and it has smartass.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nellmathew:
well considering your wife isn't much of a techie.. i say you should go with pershoots kernel because he's always releasing updates and i've never had a problem with any of them. the battery life is excellent if you use the right radio (.17 and .30 have been good to me), but you need to experiment with this though. the phone runs beautifully, just make sure you use superwipe+ to format/wipe so you don't end up with gps issues like many people have had, good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
I've run umaro, eugene, pershoot, flippy, pyro, etc etc... aaand I've decided that the provided kernel is pretty much good to go. yeah, there are some little trinkety things with a few of the above kernels that the standard CM7 kernel doesn't support... but honestly, they're worthless to a user who just wants to turn the phone on and have it work.

set her up with the stock kernel @ 245-1017 (I haven't found a reason yet to ditch the ondemand governor, it seems to work best with CM7) and a vanilla gingerbread launcher and she'll be blown away.. that's my $.02 ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] AllWin:
Like said above, CM kernel is great. I've tried most or even all available kernels for CM and finaly decided to stick with original one. It's stable and supports OC (up to 1.5GHz) "out of box", so really, I see no single reason to use the other ones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] slapshot30:
I'm also thinking about changing the kernal, but only for smartass. Does smartass offer that much of an increase on battery life or anything else? Also, when you OC, do you use SetCPU or just CyanogenMod Settings?
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
not at all pooping on any of the guys who swear by smartass/other governors, but the change in battery life is almost unnoticable for me.. the change in performance however can be pretty apparent.

here's my problem with "battery saving" governors:

in order to save battery, these governors are supposed to be more intelligent about which frequencies they select once a task is called... well, that's all well and dandy, but the problem is that the majority of battery-hogging apps (ie streaming music/video, gaming, browsing for a long time, being on the phone, etc) are still going to be battery hogs with or without a fancy governor. the governor isn't capable of making an app that needs a lot of processing power run well at a lower frequency, it can only try to be more selective about which frequencies it uses in order to attempt to save battery life.

additionally, most people use their phones like this: phone is idle (ie screen off), and a call arrives. call ends, phone is back to idle. texting a few people, back to idle. playing a game for 15 minutes, back to idle.

is it really logical to assume that these short bursts of activity are going to benefit at all from a fancy shmancy governor? I doubt it.

I still swear by ondemand or interactive (both work well for me) thru built-in settings if possible (ie cyanogen performance settings). second choice would be setcpu with no profiles (unless you're overclocking heavily, then you should at least have a temp warning profile). at this point, screen-off profiles don't do a damn bit of good, because pretty much every kernel we have for the vision is going to scale down during inactivity.

Could anybody help me?"
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Many can, but for best purposes, why? You can have a lovely rooted, stock version that I believe they just updated. Otherwise look at qbking's vidoes on Odin/Heimdall to stock. No real reason to, unless you plan to sell or repair it.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Did you flash a Rom after you rooted? What instructions did you go by? Be aware, it's 12:33 here and your questions may get differred to everyone else until morning. If you're on certain main Roms, you might be able to easily flash to either a new Rom or theme with little effort.
