[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Hey! I have a rooted Thunderbolt (Das BAMF Remix 1.6.3, using Imo's 2.7.0 leanKernel), but I have the LauncherPro app and I have my dock display my calls, messages, GMail, as well as a shortcut to the browser.

When I installed this about three weeks ago, my SMS notifications used to work (when I get a notification, a little red notification bubble came up next to my message icon, which was customized, and so are the rest of my dock icons), and then it stopped working - once I installed SMS Go, it started to work again for a bit, and then stopped.

So for two weeks I sort of just accepted that, and then for some odd reason my GMail notifications stopped working... I would get e-mail, and it would say "Inbox (1)" when I click on the GMail icon to open it up, but to see it I would have to refresh and then it would pop up and then if I went to the home screen, the notification bubble would return. These notifications used to be instantaneous; I sent myself a test e-mail and waited for hours, and after doing several test e-mails, I realized sometimes (not all the time though) the application, even after an hour, was not recognizing I got mail until I refreshed.

I tried changing setting to check mail often, made sure on LauncherPro's preferences I set the notifications to be on... I am just unsure why my notifications would stop working (and my GMail is slowly going to crap - I even uninstalled and reinstalled, did not help).

Does anyone have any advice, opinions, or suggestions for this weird problem? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Bump - does anyone have any suggestions? I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling GMail again with no success.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadStiff:
Check under accounts to make sure that sync is still on for your Gmail account.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Go into Settings > manage apps > all. Open the Gmail icon. Click on "clear cache " and "clear data ". Ignore the warnings. Return to home page, and open Gmail. It will resync, and your problem should be solved.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spursrchamps2007:
I've had gmail bug out on me about three times total dating all the way back to my OG droid. It always happened after flashing a new ROM even with full wipes. My situation was a little different (basically if I "deleted" a email in the gmail app it wouldn't actually delete. It would never resync to my phone but I still would get a x amount of new messages. I would then log into my gmail on the pc and there are all the messages that I had "deleted") I solved this once by just clearing data and cache, but the other two times I had to do a wipe and reinstall. What was interesting though is each time I back upd my current Rom and used that on the restore and bam it was fixed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aup808:
Is there any way I can change the frequency of when the GMail app checks mail/forwards them to my phone?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spursrchamps2007:
through the gmail app itself no. You could use the "mail" provider on the phone and receive gmail that way. In that program you (i think) can set up the frequency that it syncs. A couple of downsides to this though:

1. unless it has changed since I haven't tried it since the OG droid, it won't delete emails off your web based account only your phone.

2. you would need to delete the gmail app on your phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DaywiTT:
I'm currently have a rooted tf with prime 1.4 installed. my question is if I use CWM to backup my data, will I be able to restore all my game data if I install prime 1.5. I would hate to restart all the games I play everytime a new rom comes out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dragonthl:
Use Titanium backup man. Its essential app for every android system.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slapshot30:
Hey guys, just wondering if there are any tips on removing the clutter on the SD card between ROM flashes. There are so many files and data that android creates on there that I don't know what I should and shouldn't get rid of. Do most of you just format it before a flash or what? I just feel like keeping all those old SD files on there from prior ROMs isn't good.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Keep the files you want and delete the rest.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpitnathany:
I delete all the files on the sd card pertaining to android between flashes that includes the following folders

data, android, lost.dir, .android_secure, .data, rosie_scroll, tmp.

Its safe to delete them and I find that i have less problems when doing so.

Hi guys, i've got an S5830 it was an italian TIM phone, i flashed 2.3.3 ad it worked, after that i flashed 2.3.4 S5830XXKPH , from that moment i can't use data connection 2g/3g nor wi-fi... it didn't surf at all... on the display near the signal bar 2g or 3g aren't displayed, wifi is connected, but no internet... i reflashed any of the 2.3.3 firmware on samfirmware but nothing change... it seems that packet data doesn't work at all... someone know some workaround?

And sorry for my english... i find some simil problem on forum, but no one solve my issue...

Hey, all good. Just type by hand your mobile provider APN settings(Settings-Wireless...-Mobile Net..-Access Po..-Then push the menu button-New APN-Then type in Name what ever you want and in APN exactly what it must be). If you dont know the APN, just call your provider and ask the APN.

CHEERS! :cool:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazgor:
I've read different articles.. but what isn't clear the right order to do things.

So i have it right in my head does it go like this?

1. Format SD-Card, 1GB Ext4 ( i want to try RCMIX)

2. install HTC Sync.

3. uninstall HTC Sync but leave USB drivers

4. install Unrevokes modded HBOOT USB Drivers.

5. Root using UnRevoke.

now does at this stage install a new recovery ? ie so a Nandroid backup can be made?

6. Nandroid backup (incase S-OFF fails)? is this installed by UNREVOKE process?

7. S-Off (via boot CD)

8. Nandroid backup again (just incase)

9. install new HBOOT ie CM7r2

10. Install ROM.

11. do i need to install latest Clockwork Recovery, or does that break things that was installed for S-Off.?

12.. pray all went well and hope contacts sync back from Google.

could someone review the above in adjust where needed please.

Much appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Yes that's proper steps, Recovery will be installed with UnRevoked.

Also be sure when you're doing S-OFF to have rooted stock ROM, no "data2ext" ones.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazgor:
Thanks,

what i forgot to make clear in the above, is im coming from STOCK Rom, the SD Card has been preformatted for EXT-4 partition, but there still loads on the SDC for the current stock rom.

at what point in the above do i do a full wipe, and does any the process wipe the SDC FAT+Ext-4 partition.

I would guess its better to have a clean SDC before a new ROM is installed ?

cheers
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Do full wipe after you have done Nandroid backup.

Cleaning SDC before installing ROM is good idea. ;-)

Full Wipe/Factory reset will format your EXT partition.

Sorry if this is COMPLETELY newb, got my flame suit on just in case...

But it would be great if we could have one of those people who got the 3D early to let the devs here borrow the phone to work with the bootloader.

If the certain individual needs to be financially motivated, slap a donate button on either his username or another well respected member's name so the community can send gifts of thanks his way.

How great would it be to have it up and running starting june 24th...?

wow. guess i really needed that suit. with this kinda attitude, i am incredibly grateful that the devs overlook these types of comments and still provide their work to us for use for free.

if the same sentiment is shared by the community, we can just let this thread die.
[HTC EVO 3D] RVDigital:
Donating $10 or $20 is one thing vs. donating a $500 to $600 phone. Even a small donation is appropriate if you find a DEVs efforts worthwhile, show your support!
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
If I use a dev's work because he makes my phone better, I have no issues donating to them.. but I'm not handing cash over to someone so they can get a phone in hopes that they do something great... specially before I have my own.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:
+1 lol good one
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
Trust me, I'm sure one of the devs will have something great for us before we're completely done playing with our phones. The phone will be released in less than a week. We can be patient.
[HTC EVO 3D] pstevep:
agreed.. plus we have several devs that have already said that they are getting it.. some that have reached legendary status around here, so its not like we are going to have a shortage.. you like what they do once they do it, or you have a dev you know is coming, then donate..

I need a good rom for everyday use..but I'm bit confuse
[XPERIA X8 General] cris.sawfish:

Greetings all. Just picked up a 10.1 from a local BB. super excited to open it up in a couple of hours.

As far as accessories, can someone verify that the travel charger and the usb cable that came with the 7" galaxy tablet will work with this 10.1" as well?

Any recommended place to get these two from?

cellphoneshop seems to be the place to get some cheap $3-$5 chargers and usb cables.

any other sites?

I refuse to pay the obscene $20 and $35 that samsung is charging for the cables and chargers....

thanks

I went to my local Best Buy this weekend and saw a space for USB connection kit on the shelf. The sales guy couldn't find it in the internal system or on their website though. The SKU was 2837365 and he said it was an accessory previously discontinued for the 7" tab that is coming back for both. Not sure if anybody else saw this. I think I saw someone else posted they saw the same thing at another website forum too.

Yes it will, one of the features of honeycomb is the ability to do USB hosting. I haven't bought it yet, but I believe the keyboard dock has USB ports. Now I don't have any reports saying that anyone has tried it out yet, but thats what I wouldlook in to
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] cleblanc92:
It does NOT have USB ports but does have a pass-through of the 30-min Samsung Connector they "claim" allows you to use the USB -or- HDMI adapters. I have neither to test this but I have the keyboard dock and there is only the 30-min and a headphone jack.

[Milestone XT720 General] tharan.a:
The way i see it, we're lucky enough for Cincinnati Bell releasing their expected froyo rom. Motorola is the one that has to unlock the bootloader, Cincinnati Bell is a carrier NOT a mobile phone manufacturer.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Sorry MOTOROLA COMFIRMS TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS BUT THE CARRIERS HAVE TO SUPPORT IT THEIR WORDS YOUR WRONG.
[Milestone XT720 General] Knoedelkopf:
Moto talks the talk but they don't walk the walk. How could you be sure that OUR XT720 will be unlocked? I interpret Moto's statement that only phones that get official upgrades in the second half of 2011 will be unlocked.

I think it is better to spam Moto's facebook page with "unlock bootloader" comments.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
II agree wwirh you on that.
[Milestone XT720 General] Vistaus:
Excuse me? You're right that the carriers have to support it, but it's Motorola who has to unlock the thing, NOT Bell. Bell can say "we support it", but they can't unlock the thing.

And even when they say that, Motorola isn't going to do anything. You can't unlock the bootloader for Bell 'cause that means it's unlocked worldwide. And maybe someone like, for example, SK Telecom doesn't want an unlocked bootloader, then Motorola has a problem if they unlock it for Bell, 'cause unlocked worldwide.
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
NO! excuse you before you openyour mouth check the facts frist!
[Milestone XT720 General] tharan.a:
lol, what are the facts? Motorola said "carriers have to support it". Fine, but thats a mere statement, not a fact. I understand your frustration at Motorola though, most people on the forums will probably stay away from them for their next purchase.

Alright I was just wondering if it's safe to download zip files straight onto your phone and then move them to the root of your SD card using a file manager. Zip files as in full roms. I've searched all over but never found a straight forward answer

I do it all the time when I'm at work because my work's firewall blocks sites like megaupload. I just make the download link into a QR code, snap it with my phone and download. If you're running the newest Amon_RA recovery (2.3), you don't even have to put it into the root of your sd card since you can browse folders to look for flashable zips.

Edit: I don't mean to imply that I don't do anything but flash roms all day at work. It's just that when I do, that's the only way that I can do it, and it works just fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
Yes you can click any download link for a ROM and download it straight to your sd card. By default the downloaded files will be in sdcard/download... through recovery, just navigate to the downloaded ROM and flash it.
