[Xperia Play General] AtticAtac:
The new update does not work on my phone tryed reflahing from start and nothing.

2.3.3 software radio works but sim locked.

apply patch nothing happens
[Xperia Play General] TehH4rRy:
How did you update? If you had an unlocked bootloader and updated through Sony you've bricked your phone.
[Xperia Play General] badblood_antony:
i flashed play from the x10 flash tool...now i get only a grey screen...what to do now...

[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
Thanks for the heads up. Best Buy dropped the price too, and I went and got my $50 back.
[Nexus S General] Wiley_11:
I was just on Best Buy and the NS4G is $49 with new 2yr contract. :confused:

LINK
[Nexus S General] aronslusa:
How long ago did you buy yours? I got mine 5/26... Going to call and see if I can get the $50 back since I'm a RW Silver member, lol
[Nexus S General] jonnythan:
That's only for new users. Upgraders pay $149.

I got mine 6/7. I called and they said they'd do the price match as long as it's within the return period.
[Nexus S General] fraspas:
If I got mine back in May...when it first came out, would best buy still give me back my $50? This kind of pisses me off that the price dropped that quickly.
[HTC Sensation] mightywonton:
i have pandora widget and couple smaller widgets on my screen, each time i slide to a different screen and make my way back to the screen with smaller widgets. the screen Static,

is there anyway i can screen shot so i can show you guys?
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
I have the same issue with the grapic glitches on the widgets -change my live wallpaper from weather to grass for the night changed it back to the weather today seems ok ---you can use a 3rd party app to take a screen shot drocap/shoot me etc search screen shots in market ---really don't thing there is much you can do if it is an issue with the device maybe get a replacement or hopefully an ota update will fix
[HTC Sensation] mightywonton:
shoot me - requires root right?!
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
just use ur digitial camera.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
there's one or two threads about this already. general consensus is that the widgets don't know what to do with higher resolution. don't know if search is working right now but the threads are out there
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] isolve:
I have a G-Tab running TnT lite 4.4 and a ASUS TF running 3.1.

I have to say that my G-Tab OS is smoother, faster, and more responsive...

WT? Should this be???

I purchased my TF with 8.2.3.9, manually upgraded to 8.2.3.13 then 8.4.4.5-20110527

Can anyone guid me on this should my G-tab perform better or have I missed something?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Your TF stock and your G-Tab is running custom ROM?

Try Prime v1.4 and an OC kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] unknown_owner:
This is the only answer that this post needs: YMMV
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isolve:
What is an OC Kernel?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
I guess easiest way would be to compare putting XP vs windows 7 on a computer. Same hardware, XP is going to fly circles around 7 on speed because the OS is needing less resources. Downside is you don't have the fancy interface.

Most the problems with the 3.x performance is more then likely due to honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
OverClock kernel
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isolve:
I was just researching the prime 1.4 and it seems that theres a bug which causes the reboot when accessing the rear camera. Is there an update to this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
Been on Prime 1.4 since the day out came out. No such problems for me with camera
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicpork:
how can you even compare the GTab with the transformer?...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] isolve:
Not comparing capabilities, simply OS responsiveness, smoothness of movements through screens/scrolling, application launch speed... The G-Tab lacks the quality and screen of the TF (to name just a few factors) but with a good custom ROM it can get it done very nicely.
[Galaxy S II General] sam12521:
Hi, I am noob in Android phone. Previous phone is Nokia N97 and it was broken and unable to repair. Considering to buy Iphone or Android phone. I have the T-mobile USA t-zone plan which cost $5.99. I know Iphone can use this data plan, but some android phones cannot use it. Does anyone know SGS2 can use t-zone plan? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You'll get EDGE/GRPS speeds since the phone doesn't work on T-Mobile's AWS bands (600K down on a good day). The direct answer to your question though is "yes," they won't be able to read the SGS2's IMEI so you can continue with your grandfathered plan.
[Galaxy S II General] sam12521:
Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] be1ieve1111:
I apologize for thread jacking but I am unable to get any 3g on t-mobile and I pay 34.99 for unlimited text and data. I figured be better off asking this thread rather than creating a new one.
[Galaxy S II General] Disfected:
Your problem was already answered in this thread. The GS2 doesn't support T-Mobile USA 3g bands, you'll only get edge service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
My phone rarely reboots (maybe 2-3 days and sometimes longer) and it's livable to say the least. BUT, my phone also after 1-2 days would always slow down like something was getting bogged down and a reboot would clear the problem and it'd be super fast.

This happens like clockwork and so I figured I'd try something for giggles.

I have ROM Manager installed and I have the 'fake' ClockwordMod Recovery installed. I reboot into recovery and went to advanced and then Wipe Dalvik Cache. That's IT.

Reboot into phone.

And you know what? Phone is still super fast after 2 days and overall seems way more stable!! This could explain why those who do a factory reset after they get their phones have less issues - part of a the factory reset is a wipe of Dalvik.

So if you experience slowdowns or reboots or weirdness try this out.

1. Download ROM Manager from market

2. Flash recovery in ROM Manager for G2X (this doesn't actually flash a recovery so your phone can still get updates from LG and be returned,etc.)

3. Reboot into Recovery via ROM Manager

4. Once CWM starts up, go to Advanced

5. Go to Wipe Dalvik Cache

6. Reboot back to the phone.

Done.

Good luck. I love playing with this stuff :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Or just just use root explorer, data/dalvike_,cache and delete it there without rebooting into clockwork..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
That's been known to cause issues and might not delete properly since the fs is in use. Recovery is the best way to guarantee it works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
i usually do it this way with no problem, a lot quicker as well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
or if u have the nvflashed recovery scroll down to advanced then choose dalvik...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea. When I always get a new phone, I always "play" with it. Change all the settings, play with the new apps, etc.... then I wipe and forget about most of it.

I try to get a feel for stock before flashing a custom rom.

I've done this to all of them because I would load up that Racing game to check the backlight bleed... I would skip the initial setup to make it faster. Once it checked out, I would factory reset and set it back up properly.

Always a good thing to do.
[Networking] phliper00:
Hello to all,

I am kind of new here. But after purchasing a new G2 from t-mobile, unlocked it and install Virtuous 1.0.0, I got problem with my signal. It goes constanly from Edge to 3g and I cannot get my wifi connected correctly. it keeps telling me "getting IP address" without connecting to my network.

I updated the radio to 26.08.04.30_m3 but didn't change anything.

Having any idea about this problem?
[Vibrant General] gmoney11:
Hey, I've had an ongoing problem with my notifications randomly not working. I am constantly rebooting to fix it. I am on Next Gen now, but it was happening on bionix-v. Any suggestions or a fix available?
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
Heresy my solution to fix everything odin back to stock
[Vibrant General] gmoney11:
Did that, next?
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
ur back at stock 2.1 and u did everything but wipe data?
[Vibrant General] gmoney11:
I odin'd back to 2.1, then went to next gen. But the issue keeps going on. Might try a different rom altogether, team whiskey's roms keep having the issue for me
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
if that doesnt fix it! do a wipe of everything but before u do backeverything up.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] darius99:
I recently bought a phone that was modified (rooted and ROM'd)from a friend who is currently vacationing abroad for the summer. Therefore it is very hard to contact him about issues about flashing the phone, etc. SORRY to start a new thread, but I'm a noob and I have been searching and trying many different methods on this and other forums to no positive result, and I need my phone to be functional AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WHAT I WANT DIRECTIONS TO DO:

- To flash my mytouch 3g back to stock / default OS and settings.

OR

- To flash CM6.1 onto this device

T-MOBILE MYTOUCH 3G INFO:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ship s-on g

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] phrekn:
Goto Theunlockr .com and look under the How To's Android section.. you'll find a guide for rooting the MT3G which has a stock sapphire.nbh file that will put you back @ stock 1.6 OS and the phone will eventually get the system updates from your service provider.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Richards_234:
Flash CM6.1 Its good rom or flash SMF 1.2 its work great and have android 2.3.3 whit sense 2.1
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stonefox:
Are there any risks associated with buying a non original battery if it says on the website that it can be used for the phone?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
If it's poorly made, be ready for it to leak, buldge or even break your phone. Most are "ok" even though they don't hold the same capacity. But still, to answer your question, yes, there are risks.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
You might as well buy an original samsung. I'm shocked at how cheap they seem to be. Amazon are selling them for less than £6. I remember when phone batteries were like £30 or more.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-GT-...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1308265370&sr=1-1
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Flowlance:
That one is 1800 mAh. Isn't the original samsung ones 1650 mAh?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CommanderThor:
What is wrong with you, that one is clearly not original.

I will say this, for just backup use, thic ceap batteries are okey. Bu for caonstant use in phone there is first problem with much less capacity than original, and also that cheap are not ment to be used 24/7, there are risks.

While there i no risk if you just use it occasionaly.

If you need a real replacement batteriy, there are some quality alternatives to original bateries. Like for example Mugen bateries, they have quality at same level as original.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iamthecosmos:
I contacted Mugen about a SGS2 battery and I got this reply....

"This model is under develop at the moment! Should be release within 2 months."

:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Flowlance:
Exportprive sells original batteries
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
Using the Export Prive original battery and I'm very happy with it. It is original, so charging times and capacity are the same as the original battery that came with the phone. Also got the external battery charger from them, which turned out to be an original Samsung unit!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Flowlance:
That's good info. Which charger are you using? I only found "Anymode Charger for Samsung Galaxy S i9000"
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sleepycat3:
This is the one: http://www.exportprive.com/anymode-charging-dock-with-stand-samsung-galaxy-i9100-p-16205.html

It is actually just an external battery charge with a stand for you to stand the phone on. It does not charge the phone. I thought that I couldn't go wrong for just $12.53 even if it was 3rd party, but when I received it, it was an actual original Samsung item with a proper Samsung part number and not the SHW M250L that is listed on the website.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Roman5:
There's nothing wrong with me.

And get a new keyboard. Yours is clearly broken.
[Galaxy S II General] edwinotten:
So, I wanted to delete my google account in the first place. I found this tutorial with video. It says:

I rooted the phone using the Galaxy S II Root Guide on this forum. I put the XWKDD_insecure.tar on my phone, succesfully. :) After reboot i rooted the the phone using SuperOneClick. Everything went fine, it asked me if i wanted BusyBox > clicked 'Yes'.

I rebooted my phone, left it in USB Debugging (you never know what happens). I launched the application Root Explorer (v2.14.2) > some message asked me if i allowed the app acces to my root > clicked yes.

So, Root Explorer launched, i navigated to /system/framework and clicked "mount R/W" (read/write). I renamed framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.bak. TROUBLE STARTS HERE

All kind of processes started to crash and asked me to do forced close :( the tutorial says this can happen, so i force closed. But the errors kept popping up, and i kept clicking force close. In the end there were 3(i guess) processes which continiously kept crashing one-after-another.

The proces system crashed also, so the creen was black. I was able to slide the top bar (system tray?), the icon of my advanced task killer was there so I tried to launch that but it crashed too. So I gave up, and long pressed the powerbutton.

Big trouble

I tried to reboot, the samsung galaxy s II launch image appeared. That's it.. nothing left. :mad: After a lovely cursing-session i put on the KE2 original kernel. (again, just like the root guide says) Rebooted but it's still stuck at the launch image.

Kernel version:

2.6.35.7-I910XWKE2-CL187606

root@DELL101 #2

I've got this phone handed by the mailman 24hours ago, and i really really want to get this fixed. Whoever helps me to get my phone working again will get a reward, I'm really desperate. :eek:

Anymore information needed? Leave a reply plz
[Galaxy S II General] deanwray:
Just go into download mode and flash again with whatever rom you want (FULL ROM not just kernel). Should be fine I would think as /system is not essential (well, for to use it as a phone/pda yes) but not for flashing again. Should be fine then.
[Galaxy S II General] edwinotten:
Although i'm new to the flashing stuff, i understand what you mean. I'm going to find a full rom and download it to my phone, and be back asap

Thanks already!
[Galaxy S II General] edwinotten:
Phone works again

deanwray, if you have an paypal accoun you may PM your details to me. As i've said:

I guess answering my question was almost easier then picking your nose :p still i want to thank you :)
[Galaxy S II General] deanwray:
I do have a paypal account, but to anyone who would want paying for simple advice, I would have little respect for and even less so for myself, just press the thanks button in xda, im more glad that your sorted than nething else
[Galaxy S II General] edwinotten:
Understood, i already pressed the thanks button. :)

@Admins: If needed, this topic may be closed now.
[Galaxy S II General] renamedresfile:
I too did rename framework-res.apk and bricked my Kindle fire; need help

I too did the same dumb thing.

I already rooted my kindle fire, downloaded android market I loggedin using a google account. After that I was unable to change the google account. Browsed web and I saw the post of the video. I followed the instructions in the video.

steps followed: using root explorer, went to /system/framework and renamed framework-res.apk and and after I completed the renaming, the device crashed (or I clicked something; hence crashed?) and stuck in blank carrousel page.

So, I rebooted and all I get now if boot logo of 'Kindle fire'. It doesnt go any forward.

I connected to PC and I am able to see the device in ADB. But no root access in shell. So, any adb command I give I get back errors like: no permission; read-only folder, etc.

When I use the Kindle fire utility v0.9.3 and try to do temp root or root, I get

Error type 2 android.util.AndroidException: Can't connect to activity manager; is the system running?

adbd cannot run as root in production builds

PC detects the device as 'Android Composite ADB interface'. But cant do anything in adb. I can push files to /data/local/tmp folder. Thats about it.

when I do

adb shell mv /system/framework/framework-res.apk.bak /system/framework/framework-res.apk

I get:

failed on '/system/framework/framework-res.apk.bak' - Read-only file system

Can someone help rename this file back to original framework-res.apk?

Thank you very much;

Hey guys,

Is anyone else having serious problems with data usage? Mine is getting used frivolously fast, and I don't have unlimited? Is there any way that I can upgrade to unlimited, or workaround data reports? I'm screwed if I can't fix this... Any tips would be great.

Thanks,

SCK
[Samsung Infuse 4G] btpd21:
Please guys... its getting ridiculous. I turned off data network, used the number to check my data usage, and it went up. I tried it again later, and it went up again. Are they intentionally faking data usage to force me over the 2gb? Anyone else having problems like this at all?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] locust43:
Unfortunately there is no work around for data plan, my suggestion is use WiFi and turn off cell data network when you're not needing it. I have Verizon Unlimited 4G, but I have a grandfathered AT&T 4G plan as well and my data usage is approaching 20GB this month and I don't even tether!! I just watch a lot of movies and stream things like radio constantly. I don't have WiFi anywhere I go except home.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
If you have sync with facebook and things like that and email runnin youll.have that. I dont have unlimited data but I dont watch mine either so I dunno. Id also turn background data off
[Samsung Infuse 4G] btpd21:
Today, I turned off sync, deactivated data network, and only used wifi. it went up by at least 120mb. Does the iphone 2g thing work or no?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carhigh:
Did you ever think that 120mb data you went up while not on data was just lagging behind in the logs on the system? I mean, i how real time is the data usage logs? Figure that out first
[Samsung Infuse 4G] btpd21:
I've been measuring usage for a while. The data use came out of nowhere. Does anyone have an iphone 2g for sale/rent/loan because I cannot survive on the 2 gb plan
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lonetormenter:
I don't have unlimited... I have the 2GB plan... and I guess I just don't use data at all... I mean I have WiFi turned on most of the day so I think it pops onto WiFi when I am at home or at work. I just tried *3282# and it said I had 364MB out of 2048MB used and I've had the phone for over two weeks now lol... you think it's server lagged?

I sync my gmail accounts, use facebook (a lot) and I stream Pandora everywhere I go... so I don't know...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] boondoc:
get my data manager to see which program is using so much data and then either uninstall it or get droidwall and block it.

droidwall lets you set a list of apps that can access data only over wifi.

both are free in the market
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Evilspawn:
Im an at&t rep and yes the iphone 2g works...if your in miami i can help. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mariusvt:
It's odd that youve got so much phantom data use. I have an unlimited plan and probably use 10-20gb a month because I stream radio and video all day at work. Our other phone has a 2gb plan and I think she has used maybe 200mb of the 2gb in 2 weeks just checking emails/facebook/etc.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Switch to Sprint the true no caps unlimited data. Other than that there is no more tricks to get unlimited.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] knight4led:
Now with Audiogalaxy, Amazon Cloud Player and Google Music I imagine data consumption will jump up. I'm consistently over 2Gb for the last two months.

Right now I don't have any music on my phone, I stream it all.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] btpd21:
Anyone have an iphone 2g that they would be willing to loan or rent. I want to be able to monitor my support thread and PM's, but I can't without wifi or data :/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kleeman7:
Will this work with a 3g or 3gs iPhone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
i just realized why you are asking for a iphone 2g. didn't know you can trick the system like that....i'm interested in borrowing on as well. =D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] btpd21:
If I get one, I would gladly pass it around the community
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bryanb86:
There is a pending lawsuit against at&t for false data usage. I believe i saw this on phonescoop.Com
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
come to think of it, i was told by someone that there is an app that can reset the data usage and fool the data counter on at&t's side....i wonder if that is true? does anyone know?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wint0nic:
That's not true, I work for AT&T and there is no such app. As far as getting unlimited, if you been a customer for a while and call retentions and tell them you will cancel to go to another carrier, they will transfer you and try to get unlimited data. I've called many times for customers and have a 60% success rate, if one says no, call back, someone will appreciate your business and ask for supervisor to please add unlimited data for you. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
wow...this seems too good to be true...what you said are...

1) call in and ask for unlimited. (btw, there is a specific department called 'retentions'?)

2) call again if one person denies you.

3) you get unlimited date?!?!?

sounds pretty awesome.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mailreau:
Hi everyone. My Captivate is (I fear) permanently bricked.

The phone does not even turn on after a ROM flash gone bad. Is there anything I can do to repair it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If you truly are getting no response from the phone (no lights, sound, or anything else, even with battery pulls, etc), then you have 2 options:

1. Look for someone to perform a JTAG reflash for you.

2. Take it to AT&T for a replacement and learn from this experience.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
PM sent I can JTAG this for you and bring it back to life...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foom:
1. Remove your battery and usb cable plug from your phone.

2. Plug in usb cable

3. hold volume down (sometimes it will work with volume up + down)

4. insert battery

That's how I got my captivate to work last time I had a bad flash and would not power on. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjkpkg:
I ended up making a jig from 3 100K resistors from radio shack and a sacrificial car charger...puts me into download mode EVERY time...

although I have read of permanent bricks where the JTAG service is your only hope if you dont get a warranty replacement.
