[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sandkorn1978:
Hi Folks,

I have a Pocket Loox as described in title and want to update the rom.

But everytime I try to update with official update-tool, I get the same

error:

The assistant leads me to the point of flashing the BL. The device gets

darf for <1sec and shows the BL-screen with the dolphins (this screen stays

there, until I do a cold reboot). In that moment, when the screen appears,

I hear the disconnect-, then the connect-Sound in Win7. There are no errors

from the host OS but it seems, that the Loox is hanging!? The Update stops

with the message to do a cold reboot. There's no matter, if I try the WM6-ROM

from this forum, or any other official ROM from Fujitsu Siemens.

I've deleted all programs and personal data from the device, because first the

update-tool told me that there isn't enough memory on the Loox...

The device us switched on, the wm5 is booted completely and I'm on the

Today-Screen when I try the Update.

Should I get to a computer with Windows XP on it? Will the update on Windows 7

not work at all? The device has a german ROM on it, so I have to edit the new

ROM-file from ENG to GER, but even when I try another german ROM it doesn't

work...

[Q] Mounting nandroid image file leads to "can't setup loop device: No such file"

Hi,

I am new to the forum and hope to get some more insight on a topic a lot of people seem to be interested in. I connected with my HTC Desire via SSH and tried to mount a Nandroid image file using various approaches. However, when I use

mkdir /mnt/image
mount -t yaffs2 data.img /mnt/image

I always end up in the error message

"mount: can't setup loop device: No such file or directory"

Trying to convert the image into a block device as explained here http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/1141 using

dd if=data.img of=/dev/mdtblock0

and than mounting it seems to have no effect and ends up in the same error message.

I read a lot about this error message and some threads state that Android OS does not support loop devices but a confirmation would be nice. As well as any idea to work around my problem. I would rather mount the images instead of using the yaffs-utils / unyaffs.

These threads are similar to mine ,but do not cover yaffs2 images directly:

I'm also very interested in mounting nandroid image... any suggestion?

If i have a Ubuntu box can i copy the img files and mount them?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] R3s3t@osfight.de:
Ubuntu does not support YAFFS2 images yet. To mount a nandroid image in Android which supports YAFFS2 fs it looks like that you need a KERNEL with loopdevice support enabled.
[General Questions and Answers] programmin:
Ubuntu does support extracting nandroid files using unyaffs tool. I agree it would be useful to be able to mount on Android though.

[XPERIA X8 General] deedii:
Im sorry to hear that your post was deleted. Well it is easy to identify if the post is useful or not. When it is informative and would help somebody to cope up with some matters, it is said to be useful. Regarding with the useless one, well in General forum, you can discuss new things, for information or just for fun like in "Show up your Homescreen", so every post are welcome but keep in mind that if there is an existing thread that will relate to what your going to post, you should not make another thread for that coz your thread will be closed/deleted unnoticed even if there are some valuable post in it. The point is YOU SHOULD POST YOUR CONCERN IN THE RIGHT THREAD, IF THE THREAD DONT EXIST THEN CREATE ONE. SO BEFORE POSTING TRY SEARCHING FIRST. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] af974:
@ OP: i guess i've already answer to your question in the other thread but it seems to me that you are hard to understand, ok here we go:

X person make a "Synaptic" thread at 22 June

Y persone make a "Synaptic" thread at 24 June

You make a "Synaptic" thread at 26 June

I take all relevant posts from 26 and 24 June threads and i copy them to 22 June thread and then i delete the last 2 and then i make 22 June sticky so people don't go on to open again various "Synaptic" threads.

General Forum is made for General purpose and Q&A, it wasn't make for double topics.

There are a lot of Sticky threads where they said about "search before posting, do not spam, post in the right forum", now i'm not here to pm everyone that goes against the rules before delete theyr own thread, i already did in past and replies never came and i have a life too.

See, this is another useless thread since all your answers are in sticky threads, but i'll let this open so, maybe, this will be much clear for everyone.

I hope that now it is clear, though, if you and everyone think that we forum moderators did something wrong, well, you could contact our Administrators.

I just flashed my first gingerbread rom yesterday(asgard from EDT)

My main reason for upgrading to gingerbread was to be able to use netflix and fm radio. I looked in the market but I saw nothing. Oh and I couldnt get GPS to work either.

How do I get FM radio?

How do I get netflix? Is there an app?

How do I get GPS to work?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3skyline:
1) FM radio is a SGSII function. our phones do not have that capability. most custom roms have it in there just to "complete the set"

2) yes there is an app. however, from what i noticed, quite a few roms, for some odd reason, make it so that netflix doesnt show up in the market. only one that ive come across where it does show up, and you can download no problem are MIUI/CM7 roms.

3) GPS will only work with a few custom roms that support the EDT fix. i think. lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
r3skyline said it all. But my vibrant plays netflix fine on cm7
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4r10:
oh so no vibrant roms have working fm radio yet? or ever?

And is there somewhere I can get the netflix apk if not from the market?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
The vibrant is missing key hardware in the FM module to allow FM to work. It's been physically cut out and will never work.

Also, if you search the themes and apps section under the vibrant, you'll find a noob's guide to netfilx on the vibrant.

I'm currently working overseas, I was able to download Apps from Amazon before. But now Amazon detects I'm not in US so a message pops-up "Amazon Appstore is not available in your region".

I've tried several methods posted on XDA and other website but it's not working.

- Anyone knows of a successful work around?

- Can someone start a list of daily Free Apps APK, so I can grab the ones I like? :D

TIA
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
If you have the phone registered to your account you can just go to the amazon app store via your computer and "purchase" it that way.

I don't think anyone can post the apk because it might be considered piracy since you didn't "purchase" it for free and you don't own it.

I'll stay maybe one or maybe two years here, then I'll find myself a place - atleast that's the plan, cause it's not always good to be here, and some day everyone has to go it's own way.

I picked up the dock and really like the remote feature, but I was wondering, is anyone working on developing it to do anything else? Like be able to control apps other than Nemo Player. I'd even settle for allowing it to control Nemo Player the same way Nemo works when it's not on the dock, mainly being able to scroll through folders when choosing videos. When you have 20 videos it's a pain to search through them.

Is any of this possible?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ke3pup:
hi guys

For those that haven't heard of or seen an Sleep of Death (SoD) in action , it is where your phone does not respond to any user input whilst it's in sleep mode thus making the phone unusable since you are unable to wake the phone. The only way to recover is to either force reboot the phone, receive a call or call yourself from another phone.

I have encountered SoD four times til now, on KE2, KE7 and Now KF2 .

I don't think its got anything to do with the ROM, this has happened for me on Cognition, VillainRom , CF-root on stock Roms.

looking around the web it seems it might be a kernel/driver issue and remains unfixed (not sure)?

Anyone knows workarounds? Any Devs that are working on this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
I haven't encountered this yet and I've also tried a bunch of different ROMs. Are you by chance overclocking or underclovking/UVing at all? If so, that could be the culprit. If not, then its hardto say what may be causing it other than an app the phone may not respond well with.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harvin Dhillon:
I had this happen once. I tried many ways to wake it up even charging, the charging sound comes up but the screen wont wake. Had to reboot.

Havent happened again though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ke3pup:
I haven't under/over clocked the CPU at all but from what I understand it has nothing to do with CPU frequency but more so a bug in kernel or in one of the drivers.

Its not easy to reproduce but its definitely there, I'm hoping it'll be addressed in cyanogen rom when its out given the fixed SoD somewhere in 7.0rc I think.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godzilla123:
On my ace this issue occured when the wifi was on. The phone goes into "sleep mode" and needs a reboot (press the power key for 10 seconds).

I was not able to find the exact conditions but it was more promient when 3g was also switched on.

Does your issue occur only when the wifi is on?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkypete:
This has happened 4-5 to me

as well. I have found that a putting the phone on charge can free it. But its a real pain if it happens out and about, I had to take the battery out to get it to work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saar73:
i got it 2-3 times while using "Green Power" app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ke3pup:
Again this has nothing to do with an app/rom..etc. you may think a certain app you installed its causing it but in case of SoD that's highly unlikely. The source of problem is else where.

The above is a quote in response to SoD question (don't know which device, but android < 2.3.4) which to me suggests another bug in 2.3.3 that has been fixed in 2.3.4.

I think I found a way to avoid SoD (Sleep of Death)

I'm new on the forum :) And that SoD problem annoyed me for so long and I kept searching.... But I think I finally found why we kept getting SoD.

Ok so I'M NOT SURE, but Try following those steps and be sure of every single thing and then tell me if you guys keep getting SoDs..

1- "Do not use two governors as screen-on & screen-off govs, if they both have an upper frequency limit for screen-off state." - droidphile

2- I think some of us don't do "clean flash of our ROM", so you guys need to follow those exact steps from that link

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28395322&postcount=3

Or I will just write them again...

1- Reboot into recovery (Turn off your phone then press and hold the keys: Volume Up + Power + Home)

2- Wipe Data / Factory Reset

3- Install the Main ROM file

4- In AROMA installer select "Custom Installation"

5- Choose depending of your taste

6- When AROMA installer finish untick the "Reboot Now" option

7- When you're back on the recovery go to Advanced

8- Wipe Dalvik Cache

9- Fix Permissions

10- Wipe Cache Partition

11- Reboot

12- When you get the step for add your Google Account, if you don't have a WiFi enabled or you can' add it, skip it

13- When you boot into the system, it's probably that you don't have data enabled (3g, H+) just reboot the phone

14- When you boot again into the system, the data will be enabled and you can do the configuration of Google Account (if you don't do this step before)

This is the moment for install all the extras like themes, mods, fixes, kernels, etc.

3- ok and NOW After your "CLEAN Flash of ROM" When you use Titanium backup Root application to restore your applications, DONT restore the things with RED text color. Restore ONLY the things with green text color.

In other words, restore only apps with their data and NOT all system data.

4- Ok and Once you did that. About the Governor you use, I think we push the limits of the CPU and the phone just can't resist the tweaks we did and a SoD appears. So try these settings if you have Siyah Kernel :)

Minimum CPU frequency: 200 Mhz

Maximum Frequency: 1000 Mhz

Governor: luzactive

Default I/O sheduler: SIO

So try THAT and tell me if you guys keep getting SoD ...

lol I didn't get SoD since 2 days :) And I hope it could help. Because installing Wake My Android Pro, or WakeLock or Load Monitor just DIDN'T work for me -__-
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screenager:
i stumble upon this problem whenever i use too harsh UV settings(depends from kernel to kernel). also my device SoDs whenever i use 100mhz as the lowest step- again with some kernels it tolerates it. my guess is: every phone is slighty different, so you just have to experiment with yours and find the best settings for your specific hardware (you dont say xD)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4Mario7:
I understand your point of view, but by the way, I read a lot of that forum, and putting minimum frequency at 100Mhz might be Bad for your phone for 4 reasons:

1) When you receive a call, the call might lag because it needs absolutely a minimum of 200Mhz, so setting your CPU minimum frequency at 100Mhz might cause probs for phone calls.. ( i read that somewhere on XDA but dont remember where...)

2) Moreover, "It seems 100 mhz uses more power than 200 mhz. According to tests, 100 mhz accounted to 1 W / GHz and 200 mhz to 0.7 W / GHz, when both the cores were online."

3) "200 mhz can finish same task faster compared 100 mhz and thus hit deep idle soon."

4) "200 mhz is the 'sweet spot' of frequency in SGS II. ie, the frequency used in the calculations based on the optimal energy to run (Ex: In Milestone it's 550 MHz). So , 'energetically efficient' frequency for our CPU is 200 mhz."

Those 3 last reasons came from droidphile :) I'm not the author of this, but minimum frequency should stay at 200Mhz
