[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyfingers:
After it flashes you need to hit "back", which is the power button or back soft key to go to the first menu then reboot phone. I think after it flashes the option on top is "reboot recovery" which I think you might be selecting. If thats not it I have no clue?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatal187:
No I get past that point.

I dont think the actual flash is going thru

the progess bar goes really fast to the halfway point, then waits a sec, then it goes past the full mark of the progress bar then says its installed successfully. Its all done in under a minute, so I dont think its really installing
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icedvoco:
Im currently on BL 1.1, and now thanks to zyhong releasing HC for BL 1.1 im now using HC.

But im sure there are a few reasons for a lot of people going to BL 1.2.

So im asking why i should switch ?

What is the difference ?

What are the advantages of BL 1.2 over 1.1 ?

And disadvantages of BL 1.2 if any ?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Straight and to the point! Good question.

The actually technical differences are minor - voltage levels were tweaked on 1.2, requiring a new kernel to pair up with it (and thus why 1.1 kernels won't work on 1.2 bl's, and vice versa). But as far as I know, there's no technical advantage to using one over the other - they both seem to work about the same on our devices. I've heard that Clem's 1.2 kernels work differently as far as when CPU #2 kicks in, but that might a custom kernel difference and not necessarily a 1.2 advantage.

But I've been a big supporter of 1.2. Here's the reason why: the Adam, Olipad and Hannspad (and believe the zPad T2) all use it as their standard now. These are all Malata devices like ours, and evidence seems to indicate that the original development branch was 1.1-based. At some point in early 2011, that switched over to 1.2. The Adam seems to have been affected first - they started having those soft-brick issues we were so familiar with back in February, if memory serves. Then the Oilpad / Hannspad, again tmk. The GTAB has been a slower adopter, as it's been around the longest and we STILL don't have an official 1.2 stock firmware that stuck. And Cyanogenmod, being on 1.1, has not adopted it yet.

The main holdouts on 1.2 are the vendor and Cyanogenmod -- once a new stock ROM arrives (IF it ever shows up), it will be 1.2 and that means all stock users will be on 1.2. The reason why I know this is because TapnTap has been on 1.2 for months and has actually released newer revisions for the Hannspad. So if stock finally goes to 1.2 permanently, Cyanogenmod will either soft-brick all new users or they will go with the flow and move to 1.2 as well. And once that happens, 1.2 will be the clear winner. I think it's just a matter of when, not if.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
There is no advantage as long as the Rom you want is available for your bootloader
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlbardelljr:
But I do think for honeycomb more options are available for 1.2 and roebeet must type a lot faster than I. And his was long :)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I also edit as I go. :) Always revising.

We have more options on HC now mainly because more of us use 1.2 because it's more convenient. But if a .36 kernel gets released by Notion Ink, that will likely be 1.2-based and might be the only way to use their HC beta. But, that remains to be seen.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icedvoco:
Thanks to both of you for clearing that up.

So now i (and im assuming others aswell) just need to decide.

To either wait and see which way the whole thing lands.

Or take the plunge and go with BL 1.2.

Id say your right roebeet and we will end up going to 1.2. Thanks for all your efforts and the fast replies.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scyld:
Cyanogen now has versions on the 1.2 kernel; in fact I'm using one on my G Tablet from which I'm typing this ;p

Also, if I may say this, it's not THAT big of an effort to go from the 1.1 kernel to 1.2, and vice-versa, especially with the NVFlash files and instructions provided here from goodintention's EXCELLENT G Tablet supersite:

http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/

To flash a ROM, go to the ROM section and carefully follow the instructions. NOTE THE COMMENT RIGHT BEFORE THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS: if you want to go from one kernel version to another, you HAVE to NVFlash the stock firmware that comes with the kernel version you wish to use.

goodintentions clearly put a great deal of TLC into his site. Thank him if you get the chance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icedvoco:
I decided to go ahead and switch to BL 1.2 as has been said, we will most likly need it when the next lot of HC builds come out with the openGL included, which should mean flash and so on. So i went ahead and did it last night. So thanks guys for the info, always wise to be well informed :)

And let me say thanks yet again for all you guys do here.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkoolj8282:
I think the biggest advantage is that honeycomb will probably be the most stable on 1.2 and i believe that developers should start making more for 1.2 for the same reason.

But a disadvantage of 1.2 is that you cant install a custom kernal.....which doesn't really matter to me but for some i guess it does.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Actually that's not correct. We thought that was the case back in April (the "locked bootloader" comments at the time) until we realized that the zPad T2 bootloader and the 1.2 GTAB bootloader was the same bootloader! Imagine my surprise when I took a T2 pershoot bootloader, loaded it up on my 1.2-based GTAB and it booted up fine. :D I informed Pershoot and shortly afterwards he altered his page to refer to that bootloader as the "new" GTAB / T2 bootloader, since it worked on both.

Tmk, there are zero disadvantages to using either bootloader at this moment. They both have ROM's for Froyo/GB/HC, they both have custom kernels, and both have modder support. I'd argue that they are fairly balanced, at the moment. As far as the future is concerned, my bet's on 1.2 especially if the vendor and Notion Ink get new 1.2 ROMs out.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkoolj8282:
I feel like such a noob now. lol

But do you think the Honeycomb ROms out now will eventually come out of Alpha?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
Some people think it should already be called beta. But I personally think that it's "beta" once hardware acceleration is working - it's too critical a piece to the puzzle to be missing. The camera may never work without source, but I don't see that as critical for a "beta" status.

We're all crossing our fingers that Notion Ink manages full acceleration in their beta.....

[General Questions and Answers] lvnatic:
I am looking for something like pure messenger or launcher pro's modified skins, that has a completely white text and interface, on a fully transparent background.

These are my screenshots, and you can see that the 1st one has a rss reader, I am looking for something similar to that. Pure messenger is good but it has that blue "t" in the right of every tweet, indicating that the message is twitter related, if you know what I mean. Also, I have found mods that add transparency to the official twitter widget, but the blue "t" is there as well, on the left of the "what's happening" text. On pure messenger I was also able to remove "contact names", which was also a great plus. Is there something on the market that would help me?
[General Questions and Answers] lvnatic:
Ok so here's my 1st attempt, if I could get rid of those blue twitter icons in the right of the tweets I would be a happy man. Is there any setting for it? Or any skin that makes them white/black?

edit: its pure messenger widget
[General Questions and Answers] Tomo-L:
Each skin has a folder in the pmw folder on your SD card. Find the Twitter icon PNG in which ever skin you're using and replace it with a transparent png and you should be good to go, theoretically.

[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Well i have not seen a thread on this but coming from the EVO i do not see how to clear the notifications because when i turn the phone on it asks system update avil and i click cancel but it is up top in my notifications and unlike the evo there is no clear button.

So my easy question is how can i clear the notifications so i do not see the system update up there anymore.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] djwhitey:
the "Clear" button appears when there are notifications able to be cleared. system update isn't one of them.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
So until we get root we have to just leave it up there? anyway to reboot the phone and it not show up in notifications? just wondered if everyone else was leaving it up there since not many like me are going to do the ota.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Maybe if you turn it off under the update options and then restart.

Menu > Update > HTC SoftwareUpdate > uncheck scheduled check.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Thank you but i already unchecked that and rebooted before to see if that would work and it don't owell guess it will just sit there i just get picky knowing it is there and i don't want it to be lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] TeknoJnky:
if I recall correctly, you should be able to tap the update notification, the it will ask if you want to install or cancel
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
If anyone has done that click on it in the notifictions at the top of the phone where it says system update is avilable and clicked it and it still asked lmk

Cause it says tap to download the system update and that is the last thing i want to do right now thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] TeknoJnky:
there is a notification to download the update, then there is also a notification/confirmation to actually install the update.

if you downloaded it and don't want want it, just run it and choose to decline/cancel when it asks to continue.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
I have this same issue. I unchecked the system update schedule right away, but the stupid HTC watch thing found the update and now I can't clear the notification. The Green Hornet movie is a trap!

If you hit the "tap to download" notification, can you stop it and will the notification be cleared? Anyone done this? I don't want it to install but the icon on top will drive me nuts until we have root

LOL now if I could just figure out a decent keyboard I'd be all set!

After getting order and chaos to run last night along with everygame I tried by either spoofing the build.prop or using chainfire I've finally come to see that AI owe all the developers and fellow community members a resounding thank you!

There doesn't seem to be anything a tweaked o.ced NC can't pelt won't do and that's all thanks to you guys! DAR, Cm7 team & extra you guys rock. What I'm wondering is what will be the next piece of hardware with a community or developer team like this?

I haven't had this much fun tweaking and hacking a electronic since my PSP DAYS, and honestly that's what the nook color reminds me of.

I Feel the only thing I can contribute at the moment is that I've spent the last three days (yea umployed student ATM) getting all the latest and greatest gameloft games running on cm7 and I've been very succeesful and most of em can be run maxed out with a 1300mhz o.c, with the exception of that space-based mmo. That game seems virtually unsterable. Now I won't tell ya where to get em (you should buy em : )) but pretty much everything I've tested works so much so that I've had to sideload off alot of gameloft SD data and I run a 16gb memory stick that started out unfilled *gasp*

So pretty much the nook color can he anything... a portable android gaming tablet.... a productivity device....entertainment.... communication networking and email.... comic and shook reader....

I dropped my galaxy today from about 3' onto a gravel path, and the screen has cracked across the entire length of the phone. I'm absolutely devastated, has anyone

[Galaxy S II General] sackynuts:
Poor guy.. don't you have insurance? I get my electronics replaced if they get destroyed in my home
[Galaxy S II General] jimsey:
Got home insurance which covers it, but the excess is as much as a new screen.

Not really sure what to do with it at the moment, everything still works but I can't cope with the smallest scratch on a phone, never mind a crack all the way across the screen.

Got to say I'm disappointed with the gorilla glass! it wasnt a big drop
[Galaxy S II General] pukemon:
gorilla glass is better than ordinary but it not crack/shatter proof.
[Galaxy S II General] jimsey:
Can anyone explain how the screen is layered?

The touch digitizer is still working fully and the amoled is still working without issue, so I think just the gorilla glass is broken.

But I had thought the touch digitizer was the top layer?

Has anyone done a teardown and posted pics/how to yet?

I'm coming to terms with my broken screen now, so need to get practical about fixing it
[Galaxy S II General] jimsey:
well just a quick update in case anyone else finds themselves in my shoes.

the glass sits on top of the amoled and digitiser and can be replaced for about £11 (hopefully)

http://www.globaldirectparts.com:80/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-i9100-Glass-Lens-p/smsng6100130.htm

I Just have to wait for the store to get it's stock sorted.

I'm presuming the glass is glued to the digitiser/layer below, so once I get the part and open the case for the repair job i'll post some pics on the process.
[Galaxy S II General] Smufflex:
Hi,

i have the same problem, but main i9100 didn`t fall. I`ve woken up in the morning and after whole night of battery charging, my phone got huge crack from the left to the right side. Everything works, but the gorilla glass is broken ;/ DK what to do ;/

Does the warranty includes that ? How much does it cost to chcange just the glass ?

I wanted to say also that my digitizer is getting really hot while playing 3D games, it`s burning hot. Do You have the same ?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Now that's a first, cracked screen while charging :eek: What's next ? SII going KABOOM while fully discharged ?
[Galaxy S II General] Smufflex:
DK, but I can only say that SGS II is a piece of crap ;/

Gorilla Glass is overrated and the phone is overheating. The thing that happened to me is unbelivable and I`ve never had anything like this before in my life.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Had no problems with mine except for the well-known yellow tint and pink-spot camera, but i gotta agree overheating is a bit annoying, comes with the price of building the thinnest phone. Wish it was as heavy and as thick as my poor old HTC Touch HD. Loved that phone :)
[Galaxy S II General] StupidIdea:
Bad luck for you :(

I dropped mine from 1m on concrete stone floor. It dropped flat on front side. Back cover partially opened. But other than that, not even a scratch.

As for overheating, at first I was afraid even to play games. My thumb was really burning. Now I use tegrak app and undervolted CPU and GPU. It really helped. My phone does not get hot anymore, just warm on more intensive battle scenes in GOF2 THD, and gets completely cool if no battle is going on. I never get temperature warning even when playing and charging at the same time now.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Yeah, but are you really satisfied with undervolting CPU and GPU and turning it into a dumb phone, while you paid a decent amount of money for it and they advertised certain specs ? It's just like driving a Ferrari at 60 km/h being afraid your motor might explode if you drive faster. I use mine as it came out of the box, if it dies, let's hope it dies inside the warranty, even though battery temperature didn't go past 45 C, but i don't play while charging.
[Galaxy S II General] Smufflex:
After reading this I found out that I had the biggest badluck on the World :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] StupidIdea:
Now when talking about raw power, I look at it like at eating left over food after you don't want anymore, but don't want to leave it also. Well, I don't do it. If game does not really need that power, so why throw it at it? You know SGS caps FPS at 60? And it runs without lag any app even at 800Mhz at the moment.

And actually undervolting do not reduce power. Underclocking does.

I do agree that it is Samsung to blame, and they probably should fix overheating. But in the current situation I do what I can instead of just whining. Actually I can undervolt and whin at Samsung at the same time :D
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
I'm not whining, i have plenty of reason to, but i'm satisfied with my phone. I'm just using it at full power, if it breaks down , sure it will happen sooner than warranty expires. Not whining doesn't mean Samsung should have lower standards, but there's a compromise you make when buying any phone. None of them are perfect. It just comes to what bothers you less :)
[Galaxy S II General] StupidIdea:
I'm a bit worried about this "rooting voids warranty" thing. I thinking to get usb jig but i'm lazy and sometimes late with such things.

On topic, just tried to give an advice on overheating problem. And I can just repeat myself, undervolting does not reduce phone performance. if you read tegrak thread you will see, many undervolt to gain more battery life. I was more or less satisfied with mine, so I cant even tell if it helps. I charge every night when I use the phone for gaming, browsing, movies (actually watching Starcraft GSL lol). And every second night if I use it as regular phone. But I bought tegrak app with hope to fix heating and it did. I dont want to sound like advertising, you can probably find some kernel or something that do same thing. Just I find it a bargain in my case.

But keep in mind, that every cpu is different. Some just don't undervolt or overclock a lot. And it looks like every screen glass is different too. Too bad.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Yeah, i don't wanna root my device just yet. First for warranty reasons, second cause I'm still an Android noob, been using WM 6.1/6.5 for 3 years and flashing was way easier. I'll probably end up rooting and flashing custom roms eventually, but for now i'll stay stock for a few months.
[HTC EVO 3D] unknown1205:

[HTC EVO 3D] speedy0339:
Yeah, im pretty sure that its the game and not the phone. The specs are good enough to handle that game no problem
[HTC EVO 3D] Itchiee:
The specs more then cover it, its probably just not optimized as well for such a new phone.

I remember when the first dual core processors came out and some apps ran like crap for awhile until they were updated to take advantage of the new tech.
