If you are in an area that supports AT&T's 1900MHz frequency for 3G, you may me able to get 3G speeds on AT&T with an unlocked Sensation 4G. At least according to the box the phone supports the 1900MHz frequency. No one has reported using an unlocked Sensation 4G on AT&T's network yet, as far as I know.
[HTC Sensation] pwnMAN9903:
Yes it

The vibrant definitely gets 3g on at&t. I have an unlocked vibrant in loui

sville and it almost never goes to edge. Google it and see the bands for the vibrant. Its a well known fact.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] naplesbill:
I downloaded the 30-day trial of the app CarHome Ultra. This app is excellent and it functions automatically when using the Motorola Car Dock.

The main reason I have chosen this over the built-in car dock is the way it shows the speed, location, compass, and weather from the main screen. These items display in a green font on a black background.

With the built-in car dock app, you have to select the map icon, and then it only shows speed and direction in an overlay on the map. The overlay is hard to read because the font is very light gray over the whitish background of the map.

I have decided to purchase the full app for $1.99. There are also a ton of customization options. Finally, it has performed flawlessly for me and seems to start up faster than the built-in option.

Has anyone else tried this app out?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bongd:
Thanks for the review!

I've purchased it as well but recently uninstalled it. Go Contacts didn't support landscape mode and I'm a stickler for aesthetics (aka a big whiney ***** LOL). But now they've updated it and I thought about installing it again.

The developer is great too. I don't have a bluetooth device to use but I asked that he put in an option for automatic speaker phone mode when CarHome Ultra is in use. He added it within a couple of days and has always been very good with supporting the program.

It does look a little ugly but I'm actually going to reinstall it today. Travelling to the US again and it'll definitely come in handy. I like that you can set the GPS intervals and other very handy options as well! :cool:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I was having issues with my transformer powering down while using outside in a tent last week - I had since been monitoring the temps and concluded that it was because the unit was overheating (the shutdowns would happen when the temps reached over 34C).

Now it seems to be happening regardless of the temperatures as it happend just now and the other night - when the system temps were 23C to 29C (max).

Has anyone else been having this issue? To clarify, it doesn't reboot on it's own, the "Powering down" message comes up and the unit turns off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dam:
Random Shutdown here too

Hi there,

I just had a random shut down this morning. It was not funny at all because I set the alarm yesterday night and because it shut itself down, the whole system was off, and the alarm too...

It did not reboot automatically, just complete shutdown. I was using the tablet without the dock. There was still battery (55% in the morning). By complete shut down, I mean that I had to long press the power button to power the device and got the ASUS logo at the start.

Very ennoying...

Best,

dam

Hi all I am running gummy & peanut...when I turn on my wifi and it connects....I still see the 4g icon and the wifi icon on on the status bar..it says my wifi is connected to my network..but I think the wifi is not working...just the 4g.

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I've had the 3G/4G icon show up randomly with Wifi on, and also take a little bit to disappear after turning wifi on. Not sure what causes it. One way to see what you're using is to go to http://myresolver.info in the browser and it will display your IP and DNS info. If they're both from VZW, your phone is going through mobile data, otherwise, you're going through wifi.

Is there a way to upgrade Kindle on the Revolution to the newest version? I've tried upgrading in the market and off of a sd, both rooted and un-rooted. Every time it comes back with an installation failed error. Is it just my phone?

It's not too big of a deal but it would be nice if I could upgrade the apps that come pre-installed on the phone.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
If you are rooted, you could use root explorer to go to \system\apps and delete (or add .bak to the name) the kindle.apk from in there, and start over by downloading it from the market. This may remove all your current settings so prepare for that.

Just remember to mount r/w before going and deleting it in root explorer (upper right hand corner).
[LG Revolution] minus36:
Alright, using root explorer I've mounted as r/w, gone into system/apps and removed the kindle.apk (backed it up first) and tried to install it from the market but I still get the same error.

But, now when I try to sideload the newer Kindle apk I get an "Unknown Error -8".

Would there be other files that need to be removed or edited other than just the apk?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
did you rename kindle.odex as well? This should have been easy, but I've been testing it out and it's obviously not.

I believe we might be running into an issue where there are other applications that rely on this program, as well as a signature being required for this system app. It may require deodexing of the system in order to get this one replaced.

So far I had tried renaming kindle.odex, kindle.apk, the com folder in data/data, unmounting the sdcard (per a recommendation I received), and it gives me an installation error -8 when trying to install from the market.

I haven't tried side copying it into the system folder yet as I don't have the apk lying around at the moment.... Still looking into it, though. Since you have the apk, can you rename kindle.odex, side load your new kindle.apk and let me know if that works?

You may have to reboot if sticking it in the system apps folder
[LG Revolution] deland78:
Progress?

Any solution to this? I'm having the same problem on my Motorola Defy. 2.2 rooted phone. Also could not upgrade Kindle. Have deleted all Kindle files and still getting -8 error. I moved the Kindle_3.0.1.70.apk to /system/app and tried to install it there but got "Application not installed" result.
[LG Revolution] minus36:
I renamed the odex and side loaded the apk. Rebooted. And nothing. If I run the APK i get the same -8 Error.

I remember reading about unmouting the sd card like you mentioned. So I hooked the phone up to my computer in Mass Storage mode so that both of the sd cards would unmount from the phone... and I still got the same -8 error.

I did notice something though, the Kindle version number is 2.0.5. I've searched and searched online for 2.0.5 and I can only find up to 2.0.4 then it jumps to 3.0. Is it possible that this is a tweaked version of Kindle and that's somehow messing things up?

Unfortunatly I don't know enough about android/programming...
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
You can add removing the references in packages.xml and packages.list. This is a tough one. I'm starting to believe that it's possible that Kindle only installs on certain devices (as in it does a check)? That would be crazy, but where the heck else would it be embedded that it wouldn't install from the market?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
quick update on this issue:

I was able to catch Cubed tonight, and he worked with me on this issue, and we actually got the market one installed! (more like "continued for me" using my phone and Linux box)

The Amazon packages on this phone are using a shared key. The key to getting around this was to eliminate everything Amazon, including the non-kindle, but Amazon-related references within packages.xml

The problem is, I'm not positive what the final fix was, but I suspect it had to do with packages.xml. Cubed removed amazon mp3 from the phone, removed the remaining amazon references in packages.xml (completely stripped it from all amazon references and the user as well as the signed tag, not just kindle specific). I'd make sure you know a bit about xml if you want to give that a try as you want to make sure your open and close tags match. Don't want to remove partial tags.

Finally, there was one more file in system/etc called amazon-kindle.properties and it contained two keys. That was renamed as well. You can try renaming that one and report back if that was the fix if you don't want to get into the xml bit.

After this sweeping removal, it required a reboot to finally install from the market. This turned out to be why we didn't pinpoint the issue, because without the reboot, nothing worked.

Sorry for being vague, but I'm tired and heading off to bed. I suspect Cubed will release this fix in his future ROMs, but I just wanted to give a heads up that it has been done! Thanks Cubed for going the extra mile as usual with me on this one.

If anyone wants to get into the dirty specifics on this one, we can go there, but it might have to either come from Cubed, or wait until I come back from my vacation next week (Friday)

:D
[LG Revolution] xcbxcbx:
Hey, guys. I've been living without a Kindle app on this phone for a while now. Is this still on your radar?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
It hasn't fallen off the radar, and all new development has been done without the locked Kindle. The problem has been that Cubed's focus has been on CM7 - and that's massive development (he has to write drivers for everything and the kitchen sink), so he hasn't deployed a 1.2 version of his ROM.

If I get some time around here, I'll look into creating a CWR zip that will hopefully take care of this issue once and for all.
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
That would be great, I just noticed the Kindle issue last night, and just discovered this thread before posting a new one. I will watch for further updates on the issue. thanks again guys, you seem to be putting more work into making this phone great than lg and verizon did into making it a mediocre phone... There's a real gem here, once you strip away everything that verizon and lg did to it!
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
I am not a Kindle user, but I just downloaded it from the market and it works perfect. Don't know why. Just searched Kindle, downloaded, and read.
[LG Revolution] ozymandiaz:
I searched for kindle on the market, downloaded, and install failed with unknown error -8.
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
Yeah... Me too... Thats weird. I'm a big time Kindle user. Big disappointment.... My fingers are crossed, but I have all the time in the world.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
The word is that if you do:

pm uninstall com.amazon.amazonmp3

pm uninstall com.amazon.kindle

from a shell and reboot, this should fix the kindle/amazon issue.

but I restored back to stock and was able to install kindle - has anyone tried it lately?
[LG Revolution] thermal_tim:
I tried to install last night. No luck. I'm on decrapped. Right now I'm just using my archos tablet... It'll do for now... Lol
[LG Revolution] xcbxcbx:
I finally got it installed and working from the market. I can say for certain that I was unable to get it to install immediately before removing the Amazon reference in the packages.xml file, then after removing it and rebooting, it installed just fine. There may be other things that I did that are also necessary, I don't know. I can only say that this one thing appears to be necessary.

It is in /data/system/packages.xml

For me it was the last entry. This is what I removed:

It looks like the update from Verizon also fixed this problem. Kindle 3.0.1.5 is installed with the VW-update and today I was able to update Kindle to 3.0.1.70 from the market with no problems
[LG Revolution] baadon:
Thanks xcb! This did the trick for me too. Even tho I went from Decrap1.1 rom (no Kindle) to RevoltRom1.2 which includes the latest OTA update I still couldn't re-install the Kindle app until I made the changes to packages.xml. It was a bit of a pain to make the edits but well worth it!

Cannot install Kindle app after telco unlock

Hi majorpay

Any update on your "....I'll look into creating a CWR zip that will hopefully take care of this issue once and for all"? I am having the same problem.

It started after I unlocked my Android device from my telco provider. The Kindle app was never included but I could go to the market and install. Now it does not appear in the market, and even if I try accessing the app in the market through my browser it does not recognize my hardware as a supported device.

Thx!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] orangekid:
So I am trying to flash WP7 for a dual-boot on a 16gb card. I wanted to use the 1-card method because I have one card...

When I do a hard-reset then set the partition (before reboot) to keep the 200mb, then split the rest into unformatted and unpartitioned, no matter what I do it ALWAYS uses the larger partition for the WP7 raid-zero. This would be fine if I wanted my card split 8gb WP7/8gb Android. But i want a 4GB partition for WP7 and 12 for Android, because I want my movies and music on Android and I am not using WP7 for that, only apps and stuff. I want a 4gb partition so I don't run out of space with apps and stuff, but I really don't need 8.

So is it possible to set a 4gb partition as part of the WP7 raid-zero? No matter how I partition it after hard-reset (before reboot) it always always always just uses the 12gb partition and leaves the 4gb one alone. I don't get it. I do 12gb unformatted, is uses it. I try 12gb unallocated, it uses that. No matter how I do this it grabs the bigger one.

Any way to do this or am I going to have to find a 4gb card to flash then copy the partition?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] reeg420:
Has to be the largest partition. Your gonna have to use two cards. Just get one at WalMart or something then return it when your done.

I actually just swapped my 8gb that had gotten messed up after a while for a new one right in the parking lot.

That's what I was afraid of...

[Xperia Play General] letmedanz:
Well peeps...

I am quite unhappy with the Xperia Play...

let me explain..

The xperia x10i was my first Android smart phone & it brought me a lot of joy simply bcos it was an amazing phone, especially after jumping from the Symbian pary.

the first few months were really great, but then the SE antics began..

Really ruined the party for me with super slo-mo update releases and stuff.

Being a fan of the PlayStation series, i really wanted to get my hands on the Xperia Play hoping that the problems with SE are sorted what with bootloaders unlocked & on time updates etc etc.

BUT, the phone itself fails to deliver...

at least am not satisfied with its performance.

i picked up the play & the incredible on the same day... handed the play to the wife so she too can jump on the android bandwagon...

the phone is super sluggish, keeps hanging, apps freeze ending with the phone having no solution but a restart.

i have reinstalled the firmware at least 3 times using repair option AND fresh installs.. also had one update from sony...

the problems just don't go

i was really hopeful of a better phone matching the specs on paper with regular updates...

thoroughly disappointed with the Play & SE...

just wanted to check if am the only user with these concerns & frustrations or am part of a larger 'never SE again' group

:mad:
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
You may have a cheap SD card. Mine runs great. I picked up a 16gb card and move all the games and apps to the card through Apps2SD app.

If you have a different brand of SD card to try then try that.
[Xperia Play General] letmedanz:
lol.. so the problem could be that Sony gives off crappy memory cards with their devices?

Am currently using the standard box 8gb MMC...

To add, there isn't much of on the card or phone anyways.

Stock apps such as messaging and dialer freeze up...
[Xperia Play General] gwaine:
I have the U.S. version that runs stock Gingerbread and the phone flies...you probably have a bad phone...I'd bring it back or send it back and get a replacement (or as has been suggested), try a new SD card.
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
My guess is a lot of the instability is due to the sony launcher. You could try something like launcher pro or adw launcher and see how that goes. My Xplay runs smooth, with no crashes or hangs. I don't know if it's because I installed a generic firmware (ie no carrier bloat), or because of the alternate launcher I use.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I had problems with my first play but it wasn't the same problem. After running intensive games the wireless, bluetooth, dual pad and power buttons stops workjng. I have to remove the battery to have it all working again. Rogers replaced my phone yesterday and I am 100percent satisfy with it. It is using the stock memory card. You should try rooting the phone and freezing all the bloatware that is causing all the unnecessary slow downs.
[Xperia Play General] letmedanz:
hmm.. the launcher seems to be a valid point.

Swapping the IS memory card with the play's and check if there is a difference on either phone should be good to see..
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
Haven't had that problem either

Mine is pretty smooth, except for a few rare spots in some games.

Way better than my old OC'd 1.1Ghz Droid running Gingerbread.
[Xperia Play General] mrchewbacca:
Mine was working fine, but started to have problems as i installed a lot of apps. Many of them don't let you move them to the SD.

Now I'm having a problem with the texting/messaging app locking up every time i send one. If i clear off some apps it runs okay. But then I'm forced to get rid of apps I use on a daily basis. This lack of phone storage seems to be the cause of many of the Xperia play's problems.

I might give that app2sd a try, but doesn't that require a rooted phone? I also saw a post here somewhere about moving apps to the sd without root. Might give that a try...

Why the heck did they only put 512MB on the phone? Memory is relatively cheap right now. I don't get it...
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
I downloaded Apps2SD and it works great for Apps that allow you to move them to the SD card. I think root is required to move apps that aren't suppose to allow you to move them

Apps2SD also alerts/prompts you when an app is movable. So say you install a new app it will tell you right away.
[Xperia Play General] -josh-:
The only thing im disappointed about with the phone, apart from the internal storage as

already mentioned, is the lack of development on xda.

I didnt think this would be an issue lol but I previously owned a hd2 and found this great

Site when I first bought that. So I have only used the hd2 forum until now and was used to

alot more development. So maybe I was a little naive.

Im not moaning as I know the devs are great ppl who cook us some great free gear just gutted

and hoping the play hasnt been forgotten about already as I think this phone could be really

spectacular with a decent custom rom
[Xperia Play General] exactor_mortis:
Just picked up my xplay today and your experience is exactly opposite mine. It's just as spiffy and snappy as the Incredible it's replacing.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Since the xperia arc, neo and play are quite similar it is a waste of dev power to develop for those three at the same time. That would cost precious devving time so to speak. Development is now mainly done on the xperia arc, the flagship of SE's current xperia line and if it's working on the arc it'll be ported to the play and the neo. One could see this with rooting or stuff like flashtool.

In the arc section they're busy working on recovrey modes and costum roms are nearly fully functional I believe (not sure) that should be easely ported to the play. If you want to keep track of the developers development you could try to follow this board: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=965
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
My SD card came from my Service provider and not Sony.
[Xperia Play General] neptune:
I agree some of the previous comments, a lot of the lag seems to appear after the internal memory has been used up. Disappointing but there are things you can do as have been previously mentioned.
[Xperia Play General] letmedanz:
Very interesting. Most people seem to be having not too many worries with the phone.

But i have now had the phone for over 3 months i guess, so the issues may show.

hope not for you guys..!
