[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Not to hijack this thread, but I also have a question. Sunday, I purchased the Droid X2. I was at Verizon to get the Thunderbolt, but two sales reps told me that the Thunderbolt only gets 2-4 hours of battery life since there is no option to switch from 3G to 4G....

Just wondering if that's the case after rooting and running a custom rom. I'm pretty used to flashing roms since I originally owned the Droid1, which gives me like 10 hours of battery life...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick607:
You definitely made the right move the Thunderbolt is a great phone and there are a ton of kernels available.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
The reps have no clue. There are apps to switch. I personally get 12+ hours on the stock battery

das BAMF sense 3.0 rocking the bolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparta31:
Yeah the reps have no idea they are more clueless than anyone I have seen. I easily get 12 to 14 hours with my stock battery and im running the new GB with Sense 3.0 im loving it. The battery will def last u at least 12 hours dont trust what they say.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eraursls1984:
There is a way to change to 3g only. With heavy use I got about an hour and a half and with no use at all I got 8 hours tops before rooting and changing roms. Now I get 4 hours of constant use and 24 hours or so with little use.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
So do you guys suggest that I should go back to Verizon and switch? The only downfall is that I was fooled into thinking I would get $50 dollars off due to the loyalty discount, but it turns out that it was only for my mom's line, whose upgrade was already used..-.-

I only paid $176 for the X2, so I'll have to throw in an extra $100 plus the $35 restocking fee..
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C@rn@ge:
I get 12-14 hour battery life on the TB. I will say the 3-4 hour quote they gave you was with 4g and 3g radios both on. Probably with wi-fi, bluetooth, autosync on and with a crapload of auto updating widgets on the homescreens.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootandBoot:
I would get the TB. The amount of time that your going to be stuck with it, you'll be glad you did.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muerteman:
Yea as the other's have said those verizon reps don't know what theyre talking about at all. Hell im running stock atm, I took my phone off the charger at about 1130-1200 today and its now 2350 and I'm still 40 precent charged. Idk what those reps or most of the reviewers are thinking.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLegend:
Thanks for the suggestions, but now there are rumors that the new Nexus phone will be coming out in late fall. Apparently, it is coming to Verizon. I'm not sure how truthful that is, but I think instead of shelling out another $135 for the TB, I'll just keep my X2, and save up for that. Or the Galaxy S 2...whichever is first :P

EDIT: But if I do decide to switch to the Tbolt, what would happen? I'm guessing I would cancel my unlimited data/text plan and get the unlimited 4g plan right? Is there an unlimited 4G and text plan, and is it more than the 3G one?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muerteman:
Atm there is no 4g plans. The data is one and the same. Your current plan should be fine. There is rumor that this may be changing as soon as the end of the month.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C@rn@ge:
If they do change it later you will be grandfathered in. Unless they force the new phones you would upgrade to later to need to change to the tiered ones if it does happen.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satseaker:
From what I understand once they do change the plans if you get a 4g device after that you will not be grandfathered in,they are gonna hang you some how, the next phones are gonna be tied with the tiered plans you watch,"want a new phone got to take a new plan".they underestimated how many would sign up for unlimited and how much data would be used, but then again tmobile running truly unlimited might change big reds mind

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkeingel:
Hey,

I'm on 2.3.3 stock and seems like my power button will fail soon - so I'm asking you guys - what's the simplest method to make my N1 wake by pressing the trackball?

Is there any app?

Is there other method to do this and remain on stock rom?

Thanks for helping me out!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Any unlock?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkeingel:
Sorry?

I want to wake it to the unlock screen (I'm not using an app for that and neither the pattern feature)

I'm rooted, if you mean that :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Any unlock is an app. I used to use it when I was on other ROMs...now I'm back to Enomther's ROM which lets you disable the screen lock so when you hit the volume buttons or trackball the phone wakes up (and it's the only one out of the different ROMs I've tried, including Cyanogen..which doesn't just stop working after 20 minutes).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Every rom I have ever used that has trackball wake it has worked and keeps on working.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
umm just install cyan 7 or similar ROMs. they all have trackball wake. i havent touched my power button in a long time cause i dont feel like it failing on me...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkeingel:
I need to remain stock as possible.

So any suggestion in that way?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
Didn't you try AnyUnlock from the market? It's free, and I think it works on non-rooted phones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
Anyunlock doesn't do trackball wake on gingerbread, only volume buttons.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
No Lock by BoD from Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&feature=search_result
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momomok:
Google has removed the keypress event for trackball when the screen is off, so there is virtually no way to change unless the underlying framework is rewritten.

So, if you really want TB WAKE, you can:

1. wait for Google to add back to keypress event for TB when screen is off, so the app dev can bring back this function

2. switch to ASOP ROMs, most of them has tweaked the framework for TB Wake

3. fall back to Froyo-based ROMs.

I would recommend you to try CM7, it is not perfect.

Yet, it is stable enough for daily use, and it comes with some handy features.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
Wow I just noticed that. I've been using No Lock forever but still used the power button to wake the phone. Using it mainly to avoid the extra swype needed at the lock screen but just tried the track ball. No go. Darn.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
Well although the track ball no longer wakes up the phone using No Lock the volume buttons still do, so at least if the power button fails, you can still wake it up with the volume buttons.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
really the best option is to use cyan 7. it is basically stock, or AOSP rather, and smooth as butter and better battery life and all. and you get trackball wake. no downsides.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
I've heard that cm7 is nit stable and has lots of issues which is why I haven't rooted my nexus yet and have been putting up with volume wake.

[General Questions and Answers] T4ke0ver:
Hey Guys,

First of all i want to say i`ve read many posts in the ..

[GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6 .. thread and i saw that there are some other guys which have the same problem like me.. but i couldn`t find an answer to the Problem till yet..

I elate all the requirements and did the Gingerbread step by step ( Software Version 2.36.207.16)..

My microSD is a Goldcard an i have the PD98IMG in my root directory on my SD Card..

When i follow the cmd steps it runs very well till i get to the part where the '#' should come because of the root access.. but it doesn`t .. instead of the '#', i have a '$'.. although i did all the chmod steps for access and so on.. when i try the next step " ./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak".. my console looks like this(attached) and stands still with the " vold: 1232 GOT start: 0x00014360 GOT end: 0x000143a0" line.. because of this i can`t execute the Step 3 lines while hanging in the loop.. so when i restart my DHD in Bootloader Mode i get the Failure "Main Version Older!" because of not doing the Step 3..

I hope u can help me :).. thx for every comment..

Hey guys

I still did not update to 2.3.3 I was wondering if gingerbreak according to this site can root the play on 2.3.3

http://www.techofweb.com/technology/root-android-gingerbread-gingerbreak.html
[Xperia Play Android Development] thatsupnow:
Well according to what is said around here NO gingerbreak can't root 2.3.3 just the 2.3.2 whatever the apk used to root was patched up in 2.3.3
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
The GingerBreak exploit was patched in the Play version 2.3.3. That site is reffering to versions released earlier, for most vendors that would be 2.3.4 that patched the exploit.

So, no, GingerBreak will not work, and probably never will, on Play.

And, please, there are quite enough threads on this, without having to start another one. Really!
[Xperia Play Android Development] hykhleif:
i am sorry to start a new thread, but i am a newbie, and i find it a little difficult to root my play, i used gingerbreak on 2.3.2 and it worked just fine, so i was hoping for that apl that could spare me ( a non techie ) all the hassle and steps in rooting the 2.3.3

i will wait until there is an app that can do root as I am not experienced enough to follow the rooting steps on this forum
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Being technically oriented or not is irrelevant. The skill needed here is INFORMATION RETRIEVAL, which is available to and improvable by men and women of all ages, races and kinds.
[Xperia Play Android Development] gokuden:
There is no need to flame this guy. You people who throw fits over double posts are ridiculous. leave the guy be answer his question respectfully and be gone.

you all make me sick!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I only adhere to XDA's policy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
[Xperia Play Android Development] sdlaurin:
Your flaming and thats against policy. At least he is adding to a dead section of the forums.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'm not flaming. Flaming would imply a derogatory or vulgar tone in my words which is not present here afaik. And frankly, repeating a question which had been answered multiple times doesn't add any value, it actually detracts as it implies a higher noise to signal radio. In forums where the flow of information can be managed (that is, smaller forums), repeated threads over the same issue are deleted and no one complains.

If this forum is dead, which I don't think it is as we're seeing people curious about the device everyday, it's because Sony has played the old trick they do: releasing devices and forgetting about them. And even if it was dead, netiquette still applies: "search before opening a new thread" is a common rule in most forums. Since XDA is so big, the lack of abiding to that norm has amplified results since it's millions of people acting like this every day.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
+1

Couldn't have said it any better. Part of helping is to inform, also on search and etiquette, forum rules etc.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hykhleif:
well wow just posting a question opened gates of hell on me.

I am sorry but it seems everyone here assumes we can root our devices easily like others here who have tech experience.

Some people like me barely know the terms ( root, bootloader) and what they mean, for me, I only understood one thing that rooting the device will give me the chance to transfer apps to sd card and free memory, besides that I am not interested what rooting will do.

If I found a way or an app that could do that without those long steps explained in some threads I would not ask about gingerbreak. I know that app2sd will not be like having root and being more in control in moving apps to sd.

Also I saw a threat to move that installs apps to sd, and it is all for me complicated to do.

Please you have to respect newbies, for example I am a pharmacist, if I start babbling medical terms to you how would you feel, in the end you would ask me to speak plain English.

Guys I still feel very upset that asking one question did result in those unfriendly replies.
[Xperia Play Android Development] NielDK:
With all respect. I answered your question, but also helped you in how you should use this forum.

Double-posting and such makes it even more difficult for newbs.

Also, if this is your level. Why on earth do you even want to root.
[Xperia Play Android Development] hykhleif:
as I mentioned I want to root so i move installed apps to sd card, and gingerbreak was easy to use, unlike the other method described for rooting on this forum.
[Xperia Play Android Development] soudara:
root gingerbreak

hi, i use gingerbreak on 2.3.3 after applly root my sdcard auto unmount and my phone freeze i wait 20mn and reboot my phone and root is ok

bye
[Xperia Play Android Development] FrAsErTaG:
+ 1
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
But you do not need to root in order to do that, as you can move many apps to the SD card with the inbuilt function.

I happened to write some ideas a fairly long time ago about what is rooting and what it is for. I hope they can be useful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1076720

And again, it is not your technical savvy ( which precious few users actually have) which matters, it's that most times you can retrieve the necessary information without opening new consultations by checking the forums.

Then again, if you're a pharmacist, you're expected to be asked questions about drugs and their effects instead of having people research said topics on the Www, so it makes sense that you take the same approach.

thanks in advance
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmiuc:
not to bust your bubble, i bought mine in China, in Guangzhou, its the real one, and you can't get Chinese language for it... so maybe you bought a fake one? or maybe the HTC Chinese one that has a SD slot? the real one doesn't... the only thing to do is try the Schubert method, or u have to go down to version 2004. hope that gives u info..u can search here for these methods.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oringal:
no its real, i think the chinese have somehow hacked the rom and changed the core apps into chinese (e.g settings, sms, email, people etc.) it syncs with zune and i even got it updated to the 7008 update, but it unfortunately doesnt go any further. but i just need english language on my phone

You can safely remove your SD card". ;( My Galaxy is running MIUI 4.3 Help me, please! What should I do ?

The LOST.DIR directory is normal, it is where corrupted files get dumped. If the Directory is empty that is just fine.

Have you tried inserting a different MicroSD card?

Ever since Android got my attention, I always wondered why SE never incorporated Sony's Sweep Panorama feature into their phones. I've used it in Sony's HX5V with amazing results. It looks like SE answered my prayers and has come out with "Panorama beta" for the X10.
