[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
thanks for your reports

_PrEzi_, jetcz,

sorry but I've completely stopped kernel development until at least beginning of October

I might upload a fix to the talon repo for memory management or some minor fixes but that's all

I need to help my parents with house building (mainly house construction)

and in addition to that I take the freedom to take a break from kernel development

having spent way too much time on it (I need to get my mind free for my studies - and according to comment of a friend who's a psychiatrist: [not so accurate translation into english] "you become what you spend most of your time for" - since informatics/kernel-development isn't the field that I will work in the future - the time spent on it will be reduced)

Thanks for your understanding !

P.S.: I haven't forgotten about posting my story on how I got to kernel development - I'll post that in the near future after I've collected my mind about what I went through :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
ok, since I'm using the kernel anyway and the source is available (snail13_t5 <-- in my repo)

there's no reason NOT to share the kernel

changes include:

- RCU fixes & improvements [non-preemptive tree-rcu]

- lots of general-fixes [ARM & performance related]

- powermanagement-related fixes

- autogroup upgrade from v3 (per tty task groups) to v4 (per session task groups), should be more suitable for phones & working fix for memory leak and other fixes

For those quadrant aficionados:

Thank you Zach for all :-)

And good luck - we'll miss you.

Basically, they somehow know that I am rooted and I have never even taken my phone in before for anything. I don't know how this is possible as I rarely even touch the hotspot feature. Not sure what I'm going to do, but they said that I have 72 hours to restore the phone back to store bought conditions or my service will be terminated. :confused: At least there wont be an ETF fee..
[EVO 4G General] sirmx:
No disrespect, but I won't believe this until I hear it myself.

That, or there is more to the story other than just rooting.

I have never heard of such a call...possibly a practical joke. My question is all the phones rooted..ehu not a mass email ....sounds phony...
[EVO 4G General] cg 112358:
I'm with sirmx on this one. It doesn't say anywhere in the contract with sprint that you can't root/hack your own phone. It does say something about excessive data usage and roaming. So if you have been using your Evo as a modem (tethered via either usb or wireless), it's possible that they have caught ya
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
All of the phones in our house are rooted.

Sorry, I just don't believe this and I find it more than convenient that this post comes the same day as this one.

So, if this did happen, it's not because you were rooted...it's because you did something like excessive, abusive data usage or some other contract violation.

Rooting is NOT a contract violation.
[EVO 4G General] anthonyandrews:
Clearly this is not true, as company policy clearly allows 84 Hours, not 72 to return it to stock. This is company policy #100%BS.

Lets not forget that the feds ruled within the last year roughly that it is not illegal to root your device, but your carrier still had the right to deny you services, so they can't force you to unroot, but they can cancel your service.

[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
Whether thay actaully called him or not is wierd.

As far as illegal, rooting is not illegal.

However, SPRINT can reserve the right to terminate your service for any reason, it's their company. Just means that you won't get any criminal penalties.

But, I also call BS on this. I don't think sprint give s hit about root.

But those people that root and play PS3 or xbox or P2P, why do they wonder why their service is disconnected? Don't be stupid and do that.
[EVO 4G General] Berner:
I was told 84 hours, 12 minutes ... the extra 12 minutes on account of being Sprint Premier. True story. This is company policy #100%BSX2.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Exactly. It voids your phone's warranty, but sprint has no right to force you to unroot or cancel your service. There is nothing in the contract that says you cannot root your phone. It's YOUR phone, you bought it, you can do what you want with it.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:

[EVO 4G General] Android.Junkii:
Although it doesn't say we can't it doesn't say we can. They might use the old "we have the right to terminate service without warning for actions that may jeopardize the security of the network and its users" line.

Isnt it against terms to willing or unwillingly modify your device in a way that if may perform actions that circumvent normal practices... eg. Rooting for free tethering?

That's the only line and reason I think of them using. Lol

[HTC Sensation] keetoa7x:
Hii im new to this forum... Just joined as i wanted to see if this has happened to anyone elses sensation.

The other day i had my phone in my pocket at work and i felt it was getting really hot on my leg! Opened up the task killer thinking i must of left something running... But nope, everything was normal! My battery had gone from full to 66% in under a hour and i hadnt even used it!! So knowing that i still had 13hrs left on my shift and no charger with me, i turned it off and put it in my locker.

Couple of hours later i go back to get my phone and im shocked to feel that it was red hot even though it was turned off. My battery was now at 13%.... Whats that about?!

This hasent happened since and hopefully wont again. Anyone else has this problem?

Im also abit worried about the heat my screen gives off when im doing simple things like browsing the web for over half an hour.

Anyway... Essay over:)
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
Turn "fasboot" off. Your phone wasn't off...just in "sleep mode". I assume.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
This same exact thing happened with my G2X when I downloaded the NFL app during draft day. I closed the app and put the phone in my pocket. Ten minutes later I felt my leg getting hot and my phone was burning up. I deleted the NFL app and everything went back to normal. Most of the time it's a poorly written app that causes this issue so I suggest you delete any recently installed apps and see if it happens again.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cchetty:
Hi,

Apologies for the long post.

I have a U8800 X5 on which I face GSM call issues, I am in India and am using a 2G SIM of Vodafone, after I rebooted the U8800 with the ROM - U8800 V100R001C17B160CUSTC17D002 – I can sometimes get the SIM card to be detected and can make & receive calls. After a while – say 3 to 4 hours later – though the phone shows full signal bar – I can’t make any outgoing call(after dial the number it abruptly ends the call) nor can receive from any other mobile – it gives phone not reachable message.

I thought it was a wrong ROM version and hence used the UPDATE.APP from u8800 build - U8800 V100R001C00B136SP03CUSTC151D002(India Channel) but after this version install the phone shows a screen “emergency calls only”.

If I use the UPDATE_CUST.APP – the phone hangs for more than 2 hrs in the updating screen (a black background screen with a progress bar in pink – not the pinky/purple screen).

Can someone help me upgrade everything on this phone including the RADIO, FW, image etc so that I have a brand new phone in terms of SW installed on it ??

I got this phone from someone who was running a very old ROM build.

And also suggest which ROM version suits my use on 2G networks (GSM-900) as well as any settings on the phone such as in mobile networks etc so that I can get a proper working phone, I love the U8800 because of its features but am disappointed that on my network I can’t make this phone camp all the time and make/receive calls…

thanks for ur time..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Have no idea if this would help...

but dial *#*#info#*#*

choose auto (or if your country is there, select that).

thanks ryronz, i tried this option too but to no use.

I saw one strange behavior. the IMEI is shown as 0 on this phone after *#06#.

how can i change this ??

Can someone pls help me update everything on this phone including the baseband s/w.

I am new to Android phones and please send instructions to do the same ?? also where can i download the latest baseband, phone s/w images of this phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
There is only a single baseband firmware for this phone at the moment and its 129005. So I can't imagine its that, maybe its got a defect?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cchetty:
Oh I see, yes i can see the baseband version as 129005 on my phone. Also have seen there are few files like amss.mbn and EMMCboot.mbn etc. maybe something is not right with these on my phone. can i get the latest working ones of these from somewhere ??

Also i dont see the HUAWEI logo when the phone re-starts but i see a GREEN background screen with two blocks of RED and BLUE after which the ANDROID screen comes and the phone boots up to the main screen.. Is something wrong with the boot.img or any such thing which is causing this ??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cchetty:
Hi, can anyone help me here, i am out of all options..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] simplistian:
You can check the AMSS version by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* > ProjectMenu > Veneer information query > S/H version query.

EMMCBOOT.MBN and amss.mbn can be updated by flashing stock ROMs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jtwitkow:
I was using a Motorola Xoom tablet and when I performed a long press on a flash file it would give me an option to run it full screen. When I try the same thing on the galaxy tab 10.1, it doesn't offer the full screen option.

Anyone know if this is an issue with the Tab 10.1 or Honeycomb 3.1? Is there another gesture to get it to go full screen?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sfox8:
I'm having an issue with this too. I'm surprised nobody else has replied here.

It's extremely annoying and kind of ruins the whole experience of playing a flash video when it only shows up as a 3 inch wide video in the middle of a black screen. On the Transformer, flash videos play fullscreen so it has to have something to do with the Galaxy Tab.

Okay, so I know i'll probably get chewed out b/c this has probably been asked before but here goes

I am using Huawei Ascend through metro pcs. I updated last night from 2.1 to 2.2. I've rooted using gingerbreak. However NOTHING I do allows me to remove the pre loaded metro crap. I loaded root explorer per someone on heres advice, and mounted it to r/w however when I click the folder to get to the apps it says it is in r/o. It doesn't matter how many times I click it, it will not change to r/w. :confused:

I also tried deleting them with titanium back up...but it wont let me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tipstir:
Those are temporary mounts of RO to RW. I use SUFBS like RE but does more and you can quickly change your system from RO to RW, but when you close the app it goes back to RO.

I was literally just coming back to update this. I figured it out. You have to use Root Explorer 2.16. Once I loaded that it worked fine with 0 problems! Thanks for the response though ;)

Do any of you have a case for the lapdock to recommend?

[Atrix 4G Accessories] omni_angel7:
I just searched "Atrix Laptop Dock Case" on amazon. I ordered the one at this link because I liked the color scheme (slime green on black). It's your standard neoprene case with a zipper pouch, a bit overpriced, with no handle. It makes me comfortable stuffing the Lapdock into a backpack though (which is all I really wanted). I'd buy it again if I lost it, but not if I could find (a cheaper) one with a handle. Good luck.

[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Maybe you were so excited while activating it. For me it was on the screen that had the $10 Premium Data charge. There were other items you could have added at that time including the Sprint roadside assistance and some other stuff.

I think it's good you pointed this out, as for any high end phone I think it's money well spent.

Plus one advantage to TEP over manufacturer warranty is you never have to hear Sprint say, we need to have HTC take care of this.
[HTC EVO 3D] unknown1205:
i dont understand why anyone would want TEP. i mean the phone is under warranty for 1 year, after 1 year you'll prolly get a new phone anyways. if you wait until your 2 year contract then its a little under $200 and you can get a new phone when your 2 year contract is up.
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the warranty just cover device defect? The TEP covers if you throw the phone into the Pacific. When I find out it can't be rooted, for instance.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
http://shop2.sprint.com/en/services/service_repair/in_store_service.shtml

That shows the difference. You get more service from Sprint themselves if you have TEP, otherwise your warranty is with HTC not Sprint so it takes longer to get taken care of.
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
TEP covers a lot more than warranty items. Warranty is manufacture defects not dropping your phone in the toilet, running it over with your car, dropping it on the pavement, or having it stolen. Good luck getting a new phone under any of those conditions. You will be out $600 bucks. Plus with TEP (@$100.00) I will get a replacement phone the next business day.

I just went to answer a text and suddenly an entire column of pixels just went dead.

Now my Atrix is rooted and deodexed, and when I called my AT&T store, they told me I can get it exchanged at the regional AT&T Warranty/Repair Center.

So my question is this:

Did rooting have anything to do with this problem?

If I go to take it in for a swap, I'm probably going to have to restore to default.

Still not sure if I want to see if I can get a different phone, bootloader unlock seems imminent but I've started to become interested in WP7.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jakplastic:
sorry to make my first ever post a lengthy question, but i haven't been able to find a solution anywhere else on the forums (or google, for that matter). Here's the rundown:

Recently moved over to the Infuse from an iPhone 3GS (jailbroken within one week of purchase) and couldn't be happier. I had it rooted via Superoneclick a few days after i got it and decided to get in on the fun with a different ROM. Tried Infused, Refuse and Bionix but had the same issue each time...after rebooting into the new ROM, everything behaves normally. I can restore my apps via Titanium Backup, re-add my widgets manually, and everything works great. Then i reboot the phone for whatever reason and the Foursquare widget and Tripit widget are gone from the launcher (doesn't matter which launcher i use...tried LP, stock and TW). Not only that, but they also don't appear in the widget selection list if i try to re-add them. The apps are still in the app drawer, and seem to run normally, but the widgets are gone. I have other widgets in use that seem to survive the reboot, but these two vanish every time.

I've followed the instructions for rooting, modded 3e, CWM, and the individual ROMs to the letter. I even tried using Odin to return to stock and wiping cache, etc. before my last attempt, only to get the same result.

Also tried installing the apps fresh from the market without using Titanium Backup at all, but to no avail.

The apps are installed to the phone, not the external SD.

can anyone help shed some light on this? i'd love to be able to take advantage of the features in these ROMs, but if i can't trust the phone to hold on to a couple of widgets, then i don't know what else it could forget.

thanks!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SolusCado:
Try moving Foursquare and Tripit to the internal memory. I had issues where wallpapers installed to my SD card would disappear on every reboot because Android would try to load the wallpaper BEFORE the SD card was mounted, and the wallpaper wasn't available. You may have the same thing happening with your apps and their widgets.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dxtra:
Move all Widget apps to phone. For some reason the infuse move then automatically to the SD card.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Yup. Widgets not working when installed is a known issue with, at the very least, Android System Info. For whatever reason the Infuse defaults to installing to the SD card.

Settings->Applications->Manage Applications

Choose the widget app and move it from SD to internal mem. You may need to reboot after that
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jakplastic:
wow you guys, thanks for the help!

apparently the apps were returning to the external SD after restoring via TiB, even though they were in the right place (on the internal memory) when i originally backed them up. my fault for not checking after the fact, i suppose.

everything is running as it should now, and the extra speed/reduced bloat of the custom ROM are fantastic. XDA rocks, and i'm happy to be a part of it!
