[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squick:
That has happened to me several times. Usually it's a bad usb cable. If it's not allowing data to cross, the phone will not give you the option to change. If the phonedoesn't see a data connection than it acts just like it would if it was plugged into a wall outlet.

I use retractable cables and they usually start to do that when the cable is bad or going bad.

Try wiggling the wire in various spots to see if you can get a connection. If not than I can almost bet that your cable is going bad. Just replace the cable and you should be fine.

I always keep backups for this reason. You can get cheap ones off Ebay. I like the retractable ones because they're less hassle and track free. I never take it out of the computer. I use the Quadrimax retractable cable. You can get them for about 10 dollars. If you buy the cheap ones you never know if they're going to work or not.

Let me know if this was the issue, I'd like to know. Good Luck!

I am getting ready to deploy to afghanistan and I wanted to pick up a sim card that would work out there, http://www.telestial.com/view_product.php?ID=LSIM-AF01, seemed like the best bet. It says I need a GSM 900 unlocked cell phone. I know the G1 supports GSM 900, and currently I am running CM4 on it (its old and ive since upgraded phones and switched to verizon.) Is there anything else I would need to do to my g1 to get it working in afghanistan? I cant really test it until I get out there. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maave:
You'll need to get the phone unlocked. Get in contact with T-Mobile and tell them you want to unlock your old out-of-contract phone. If they give you crap then tell them your situation or ask to be put through to a supervisor (or both, but one supervisor threat can go a long way). They'll give instructions on how to get your IMEI number. You give that number to them, they send it to HTC, HTC sends them an unlock code, then T-Mobile to emails the unlock code to you and instructions on how to use it.

Yeah, it's a lot of junk but it's better than spending $30 at a shifty SIM-unlocker website.

You can get the IMEI number ahead of time if you want. Go to the phone app and type in *#06# (no need to press anything, a window will pop up once you type that last #)

OR go to Settings > About Phone > Status and scroll down to IMEI.

Good luck man.

[General Questions and Answers] tinookoo:
I have recently unwillingly upgraded from my Samsung Mesmerize I500.01 to the newer Samsung Mesmerize I500.04 in the process of reinstalling my OpenVPN client (the whole reason my company pays for me to have the phone). I discovered that the version of the tun.ko module i have will not work with the newer phone.

I have scoured the internet trying as many different versions of the tun.ko as i could and none will work they all fail with "failed (exec format error)".

After realizing there may not be a pre-compiled one available i moved on to trying to compile my own (which I've never done) . Now it seems as though not only is my directory layout a bit different but I'm missing key files that are referenced in the process ( config.gz ) and cannot find any how-to's that take into account the unique obstacles of this particular version of phone. Of course if someone has this exact same phone and a working module that would be great otherwise I'd love to get help compiling my own.

The Phone is Samsung Mesmerize SCH-I500.EC10 Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 (no additional subversion) Firmware Version 2.2.1

I downloaded a couple source versions off of the Samsung site that seem to be for this phone but I'm not sure exactly which one i should use.

I have experience in Linux but none in development/compiling.

Help would be very much appreciated. And i did search for 4 full work days before posting this thread.

Here's the thing,just post the best/top ranking phones of your choice (

they have to be Smarthpones that run the Android OS!

).You can name/list as many phones you like (but i would really appreciate it if the list was between 5 and 10) and that's it.And remember to number your choices/list where 1 would be your preferred choice ,and an explanation isn't necessary but i wouldn't mind (keep it short ;) )

Kinda to long to explain why i'm asking this,so i'll be brief,it's for a Uni survey and report.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] LukeSP:
I really think the vibration is pretty weak and I hardly feel it in crowed area. I once used Darky's ROM (about 9.X) which had a modified Phone.apk to have a strong vibration. So, is there anyone who can mod JVP Phone.apk or at least tech me how to do it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dannybuoy:
I can't help you with that, but have you tried adjusting the strength in the menu? It's a bit of a bug in my view, but you have to enable haptic feedback to get access the the vibration amount settings, then disable haptic feedback and those settings stay for calls and notifications.

[LG Revolution] Networkgamer:
So I've been trying to use wireless tether, both Wireless Tether for Root 3.0.7 and Barnacle, but lately its been hit or miss on their success, and hardly at all if its more than one device.

My main issue is with the verizon 4g hotspot app, Im unable to start it, and it causes wifi errors. When I start it, it goes through the provision and doesnt give an error itself, but then the hotspot checkbox to turn it on/off will be checked and greyed out, and never return to normal. If I go into wireless settings, wifi just reads Error, and I have to reboot to get it back to normal.

Anyone have any expertise on fixing or reinstalling the app? I think the main issue is when I was a bit callous after rooting it and trying to remove bloatware and I did something to break it, and through factory resets it doesnt do anything. Any help is much appreciated!

P.s. I wasnt sure where this should go, so I thought this might be a fair starting point. Mods: Feel free to move as you see fit
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I received my refurb and I noticed that while on a call, the proximity sensor I think it's called, the one that turns the screen off while on call, I can literally see the red light, and it turn off when phone call is over.. did I miss this on my first phone, can anyone else see it, are my eyes special?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spike82:
in my case, it is blue... :-D

if you pay attention to che mic on the top of the dinc2, you can see that it is perfectly up the sensor so, if you point the mic to a direct light source and look at the phone, you can see the red lens.

in y case it is blue because i have a transparent blue cover ... i noticed it in my car when , after a call, i have it in my hand and the light of the car is on....

i wish it can help :-D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I haven't noticed it with the DINC2 yet, but my D2G had the same thing. Never noticed the correlation, but it makes sense. The light is probably used with the prox sensor.

EDIT: Used Elixir just now, and best I can figure, it's used to as part of the prox sensor. I did see it when I turned the sensor on, so the sensor is likely only activated normally during a phone call.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ACD168:
I only see it when on a call, once hitting end button it turns off. I don't know if it's normal, or my eyes are special or something, but I had it on two refurbs, and I might go to the store to see if this is something that is normal, otherwise hopefully new phone:cool:

I have the Super E rom in my G1. I did full wipe it. The problem I have is when I take 2-3 pictures, the camera freezes and then I have to restart the camera application again. When I use the focus button in the bottom corner or the camera button to take pictures, it freezes the application.

Is this a bug? In Super D or FroyobyLazlo it never happens. Some eclair roms I think have this issue.

Has anyone find a way to fix it and stop freezing the app?

Manufacturing a product for mass consumption takes a LONG time. Ergo, rumors this early are COMPLETELY reasonable. The iPhone 5/4g/4gs/whatever has been reported as being produced already as a final product; it is due to shelves around the same time.

And to those who just post the idiotic "FAKE!!!" posts:

All of these specs are available to manufacturers. Qualcomm has the processor ready to go, Toshiba has the screen ready to go, etc. These are all 100% do-able for a manufacturer.

Bottom line:

Rumors now are just as reliable as rumors the night before launch.

Who has the battery ready to go that will power a screen with 2.4 times as many pixels as our phone? Oh, thats right, a battery like that doesn't exist unless they are including a 3000mah stock.

Its just not true that rumors six months out are as unreliable as rumors the night before, I mean seriously that doesn't even make sense. Do you know how many rumors there were for the iPad2 months before launch? And iOS5? Soooo wrong. The night before launch the specs were completely leaked and were spot on.

There is zero reason to believe that these specs are accurate. I hope they are though.

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:

I thought that the iPhone 4 had around the same battery life as our phones. IDK why but I looked up the anandtech review of it the other day and it DESTROYS all Android phones. How can they pull that off when we can't? I mean its like double what Android phones get. And its thin as ****.
[Epic 4G General] Jasonhunterx:
Where the android phones tested have custom roms which improve battery greatly an android battery's are small iPhone battery are like almost the whole phone
[Epic 4G General] professoroak:
But iPhone users get that amazing battery life out of the box, whereas we have to do some tinkering to our phones to get it relatively the same. Apple just has some uber optimized software for their hardware, especially since they really only have one phone to worry about.

Also, I think the iPhone only uses a 1420maH battery. Epics use a 1500maH battery.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
UH, the iPhone4 has a 1420 mAh battery. We have a 5.6% larger battery and we get destroyed in battery life. Seriously, go look at the numbers here:

[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
and?

Are you saying that OEM's couldn't do the same with Android? The battery life tests I posted have nothing to do with multitasking. The entire point of where this comparison began is that someone said that OEM's need to focus more on battery life than on other things. Its obvious they have a LOT of room to improve on with regards to battery life.

[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
That is exactly what I am saying. Apple is free to work on things like battery at an OS level because they code the entire OS, Android is handled by Google then provided to OEMs to add their skins to it. They don't have the kind of control necessary to make serious optimizations.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Simply put it like this Android is a Power Pack Battery Consuming Amazingness (PPBCA), so the thing is Android is open source were Apple isn't. Apple makes one phone product, Android has several companies making their versions that overlay a Universal Software, so when hardware reacts to software Sh*t Goes Down!

Basically Android is open to everything not literally but you get the point, For Android to be like Apples iPhone, we would simply drop the Android's IQ & Ability. If this makes any sense.

Plus Android Needs More Battery Power Than Apple Does, You'll Understand If You Know How Everything Works In The Tech World. If We Put A 1800-2400 mAh Battery In Our Phones It Would Last Like The iPhone Does, Without Multi-Tasking, etc.... And If Android Were To Multi-Task It Would Obliterate iPhones Into an Oblivion
