[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
so I just did:

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/basebands/i9100/mmcblk0p8.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

after it completed I pulled the battery and restarted the phone

MY PHONE HAS IN FACT REVERTED BASEBANDS BY DOING THIS ACTION!!!!!

SOOOO... my buddy (who still isn't here yet...) who still has the docomo baseband... I'll be extracting his and posting it for you all. hopefully soon.

We'll see if this fixes my ****ty reception and GPS not working. I know it won't fix 1seg though.

CHEERS MOFOS!!!
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
or is there anybody out there with a rooted SC02C still showing an SC02C baseband who feels like doing this:

su -
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p8.img

then send me the mmcblk0p8.img file that's on your SD card?

I'd be forever grateful!!
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
I'll try to do that tonight or tomorrow morning (I have only rooted, not changed CSC or for that matter even the rest of PDA). PM me an address to send to you at.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
PM Sent, thanks man!
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
IT WORKED, I'm back on

Baseband: SC02COMKF2

THANKS.

Will post the file in a few.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
reception went up 2 or 3 bars at the same battery level and location in my house. Still no GPS on my ROM though, reverting back to stock backup and will see if I get GPS back...
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
GPS is still not working with the new baseband, but the reception is soooooooooooo much better.

Any chance I could get someone on a rooted, stock image to grab these:

su -
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p2.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p4.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p5.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.img

and send them to me? I'll figure out which one is GPS.

I'm gonna go to litening rom now and put the docomo baseband on.
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
battery life has been amazing on this baseband!
[Galaxy S II General] ManInCamo:
Any way to package this solution into something flashable for the rest of us? still having the GPS problem?
[Galaxy S II General] nakagusukumike:
sure thing! I'm gonna work on making this whole thing into a flashable zip as soon as I figure out where the GPS is.

I'm just waiting on someone with a working GPS to send me their partitions 2-6 ;););)

Does the EVO 3D have Swype on it? I love Swype and would miss it!
[HTC EVO 3D] Clipt:
indeed it does
[HTC EVO 3D] napalm5479:
cool cause my wife and I are getting the phone probably next week or whenever Sprint gets ours in and she can't live without swipe.
[HTC EVO 3D] stacktrace:
It does but it's not enabled by default. You have to long press a text field... Choose "Input Method" and select swype keyboard and then you should be good to go!
[HTC EVO 3D] tehkingo:
And unfortunately, the older version of swype is preinstalled, so you can't even install the newer one.
[HTC EVO 3D] wburbage:
I just tried to uninstall the preinstalled version and it doesn't even look like that's an option. I really want to update it to 3.0
[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:

Read the last paragraph. Will require root, though.
[HTC EVO 3D] getimmaaw:
The original keyboard included with the 3d also can act like swype and I actually prefer it, just enable it on the setting its called tracing
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
The trace option isn't working for me. Doesn't matter, I'm use Shapewriter anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] vilasman:
Whats the big difference between shape writer and swipe?
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
So how does race trace work?

I enabled trace just to check it out. It works okay. But I would like to compare it to Swype 3.0. I do like the number layout on Swype more though. But trace is working okay for me.

Swyped from my Atari 2600 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
To me, there is no BIG major difference. Swype has the swype key which makes it pretty easier to change words, add words, and get instant help. It's just as easy to add words using shapewriter, just tap add after typing the word.

Swype has that annoying pop up, that covers the screen, when predicting words. Shapewriter has the predicted words layed out horizontally above the keyboard.

Swype looks better, imo, and if you like sound when you type, Swype has that as well.

Other than that, they're pretty much the same. The Swype that is on our phones can't predict words as easily as 1.60 could.
[HTC EVO 3D] neodarksaver:
hmm im gonna try this shape writer thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] kegacide:
swype 3.0 is much better, doesn't have that annoying popup in the middle of the screen, it has a bar above the keyboard... but apparently we cant just update swype when its pre-installed, which is very annoying... ran into the same problem with my wife's droid X
[HTC EVO 3D] corythered:
The recent OTA update helps here. Went from Android 2.3.3 to 2.3.4; and Swype went from whatever it was to 3.21.87.28626.28659

Good morning community,

Anyone else still experiencing 4G problems in NYC? It will stay on 4G for about ten seconds,then I will lose connection all together, before it reconnects to 3G.

My radio settings are correctly selected at CDMA+LTE/EVDO auto and I am on the MR2.0 radio.

This has been happening for me since yesterday.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeager:
I'm having the same problem and it's been like that for about 3 days now. I'm on CM7 so it can't be the radio.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turdbogls:
not sure what is going on. the first 3 days with my bolt were great. i was on the OTA update (MR1 i am guessing) and had 4G singal at work and everywhere else i went, pulling about 20mp/s downloads all day long. but, for the last 5 days i have had spotty 4G, zero 4G at work. when i can connect to 4G i am getting like 5mp/s downloads. and that is IF 4G doesnt hang and not load anything. starting to get frustrated....not to mention, my buddy who sits right next to me at work has a droid Charge witth 4G and pulling just under 20mb/s here.

wondering if it is a LTE/ thunderbolt issue. the TB and LTE are not playing nicely together. not sure why that would be, but i dont have any other explanation.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil28:
hi all

once i charged my battery after its 15% low battery alarm (it took about 2.5 hours) i started to play angry birds seasons! paired with my mw600 for the sound

after 75 minutes i checked my battery and it said 62%!!!!:confused:

damn! one hour gaming and 40% battery loss? was it due too Bluetooth?

next morning. after i got up (9 hours later), i saw the low battery alert!!!!

i saw "battery use" and it said that there was an angry bird consuming 22% !!!

but neither my advanced task killer nor "running services" showed any angry birds program running!

today after recharging my phone, i played the same angry bird seasons with the speakers of the phone (middle sound volume) and after 30 minutes, i lost 15% loss of the battery and again after closing the game, in battery use section, i say angry birds consuming 16% of battery when again it wasn't listed in "running services" section!

i even restarted my phone and to my utter surprise, i saw this program running in battery use section again!

I'm really disappointed about this issue

all this time my wifi has been switched off!

i have 2 questions!

1. from where does this running service come? why isn't it listed under runing services?

2. is this rate of battery use normal? :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devil28:
thanks mate

but what caused my battery to drain like hell?

2-3% in every 10 minutes!!!!

the only way i could make sure if it had anything to do with angry birds was uninstalling it...and everything went OK again!

i have no experience with angry birds,could it be a bug?

i saw the same problem in other forums...without any specific answer!

do u know what caused my battery to drain from 60% to 15% in 9 hours? with Bluetooth off, wifi off,system complete standby! isn't it just too weird? :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTBlack:
I did noticed some " zombie" games/apps will keep re-start even after you had exited and/or killed them, I had to kill them a number of times before they stop re-starting. This is where apps like task killer becomes usefull. I use advance task killer to automatically kill unwanted apps, just make sure you config it to ignore all the "system" and any apps you want to run in the the background. FYI My battery usually lasts more than 24 hr, but I charge it just before going to bed every night.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
A few pointers.

1. Using anything which keeps the massive 4.2" display on will use a lot of battery. You could reduce the screen brightness as far as you can stand for gaming. That will help

2. Gaming uses the processor and the GPU and 3D processing a lot.. which also drains the battery fast.

3. The Battery stats show what has USED the battery so far.. it bares no relation to currently running processes.

4. Something else is causing your battery to drain whilst in standby mode - if you're not seeing it in battery stats then it's probably the 2G/3G data connection.. There's 2 things you could do about this.. A) Switch mobile data off when you go to bed B) Download something like Green Power Free or Juice Defender to manage your data connection more efficiently.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popfan:
I am just trying to figure out if I totally bricked my phone or not. :mad: I can only get in to download mode using the removed battery and usb cable trick. Odin sometimes starts to work and then other times it fails at file recognition. my Windows 7 64 bit laptop recognized it only sometimes, mostly device unrecognized. My Windows 7 64 desktop never recognized it (front or back ports).

Can one think of a trick to reboot the system that I have not tried?

I cannot get anything other than a blank screen or download mode.

I don't have a different USB cable to try, but I think I will buy one since my factory one has small bit of damage to it.

I have tried drivers from Samsung and from a few different
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hairlesshobo:
These are very hard to brick, so I kinda doubt that you have. At least not to the point that it cannot be fixed :)

I bricked my captivate yesterday and was having similar issues that you were. There are two things I recommend trying..

1) Use a different USB cable, NOT the one that came with the phone. I tried 4 times to use Odin3 to restore using the Samsung cable and it failed every time. I pulled out a Motorola cable that I had laying around and it worked perfectly.

2) Make sure that you are using the Samsung drivers and not the ones that Windows 7 installs automatically. You can find the correct drivers on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Let me know if that helps you at all.

Hello all, sorry for my bad english.

Do to the unlocking atrix bootlaoder i have 2 qestions...

1) Do you think our aging phone will ever be ulocked?

2) What can we do with an unlocked bootlaoder? could we have a 720P video recording and no more restarts on our device?

Thanks and again sorry for my english. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] devwithzachary:
1) I really hope so, if not by Motorola then perhaps working out a way our selves (sadly looking less likely as time goes on)

2) the big thing we could do is load a custom kernel, so we could sort out the restart errors, also enable swap memory so we can have virtual RAM so ROMS like HTC Sence would run with far less lag. Plus many other kernel mods that other phones have
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Vidati:
Thanka for the explanation, i have been reading here that maybe with Atrix bootloader we would be able somehow free our own bootloader (milestone) is it any true?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] devwithzachary:
Well it is my hope that this is true ( i was the one that started the topic in the development forum) but until some of the developers get a look at the stuff we can not be sure, but even if it dosnt right away it might atleast help us free our own bootloader
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Vidati:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rs.saunders:
I had trouble with a note that crashed while recording and since then it wouldn't let me back into it. It just continually had the syncing icon in the middle of the note and when I tap on it to open, a toast message appears saying saving.

I have seen posts from others where they fixed a broken note by opening the note on another device that you sync your Evernote with, rename the tile or move the note and that fixed it.

Unfortunately for me though, my broken note was not synced to Evernote so I could not open it on another device.

Thank's to kool2zero who posted this reply from HTC because that helped me fix the problem.

This is is a guide how to do it the way I did:

I basically went to the .data/HtcNotes folder on SD Card, found the files for my broken note, created a new temporary note, and overwrote that new note with my broken one.

* Create a new blank note on your flyer

* Record a few seconds of voice on that note (optional) only needed if your broken note has a recording on it you need to recover too (this is so it creates the.amr file to replace)

* Plug Flyer into a PC in Disk Mode (or use a file explorer app like htc suggest)

* Browse to .data/HtcNotes directory (see attached screenshot)

* Find the folder and files related to the broken note (tip: the folder should have the same 'modified date' as your broken note)

* Copy the folder to a temporary location

* Find the folder and files related to the new blank note

* Overwrite the blank note files with your broken note files, Note: make sure the filenames of your broken note are renamed to the blank note's filename

* Disconnect from PC and open notes app on Flyer

* You should now be able to open your note and sync it to Evernote.

It worked for me but I accept no responsibility if you loose your notes, any loss of data or any other problems at all if you try this. :-)

Hope this helps anyone else who has trouble with notes
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vividhaditya:
Thanks very much for the tip. Had been struggling for quite long. I had recorded a couple of interviews and as the recordings were quite heavy, the HTC Notes app was crashing. The note wasn't even syncing with Evernote too. :)

after some research unrevoked3 seems to be the easiest way to root my HTC Desire.

but there are no instructions on how to use it... i know you just download the software and install the drivers etc... but i mean what state does it leave my phone in?

will it have all of its text messages saved, settings saved, etc...

will my sd card be wiped completely should i back it up? should i buy a cheap one to root it with etc...

i know 2.3 is coming out soon for HTC Desire but my phones branded with vodafone. should i just debrand it and wait for an offical update?

ive been wanting to root my phone for a while but ive got no idea which roms are best or anything.

how do i back up my sd card? how do i save my texts to the sd card for back up?

I have seen other posts related to these programs. However, none address the ideas/question I have.

chroot = full linux on android = "daddy likes" or in my terms, "awesome, i can convert, compile and port android applications on a bus, plane, work break/lunch etc. But, hmm... I rather would like to attempt to do more... for absolutely no other reason than 'because i can'" So brainstorm with me people.

1st: What settings would be the absolute least CPU intensive to encode/decode on Xvfb?

2: How does one change the refresh(fps)

3: Can it be encoded to mp4, perhaps invoking hardware decoding on an android device? If so, do any *droid* happen to have a hardware encoding option (perhaps because of camera) that can be made use of to improve Xvfb(or clone) performance?

4: What about Kill-android video processes ; link -> chroot or startx?

5: how about a virtualized application container? Something more efficient than vnc, which could execute a process, with hardware supporting inside a "window" that knows what to do with it, rather than emulate a complete frame buffer?
