[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
eMMC failure of sorts, not BAMF caused bricking. I remember when everyone was like "well the only people bricking are on BAMF," then someone on gingeritis bricked and everyone **** their pants

Not necessarily.. one of the theories was that the alpha GB radio was causing more writes to the eMMC than it was supposed to, which was causing early eMMC failure.. yes stock TB's bricked as well, but that could have been something else writing to eMMC. Not like we'll ever know anyways, pure speculation.

I've been using eclair for a while now and switched to. cyanogen mod 7 which looks pretty and all that. but one problem ,It's slow.your Overclock range should not exceed 710mhz.Reasons:==>1)videos become choppy especially when using mobo player and viewing .VOB ,AVI and other heavy formats.==>2)expect forced closures when running some apps .

==>3)your battery will drain quickly so don't complain to anyone about poor performance.

==>4)overclocking over 748mhz is suicidal and may brick your phone or hang all the time .

=======>remember speed has its limits .When compiling your own kernel map the memory and choose the right architecture I.E ==>ARM v6 .

Hope this guide will help those new to the android world

Trying to wipe battery stats with terminal emulator, get the following:

$ $ rm failed for /data/system/batterystats.bin, no such file or directory

Verified in root explorer that directory is there but not the file. CWm battery stats wipe doesnt work either.

-50 PBJ, UK 2.0 with ec09 radio.

any suggestions on how to wipe the battery stats ? performance has been lacking since the UK upgrade, radio change didnt help.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Two ways: manually wipe in cwm, or download battery calibration from the market. Both do the exact same thing.

Also, from your terminal command, you tried to do it without superuser access. Type "su" first, then hit enter.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archalon:
Thanks, i did try it with su, but it failed to reboot. Just goes back to a prompt, #.

Also tried in cwm, blank response. I do have cwm red if that matters.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
The # sign means the next command will be executed with root access, so try your original command again at the # prompt.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eibbed0001:
I experienced that in Terminal Emulator as well. However, it appeared to work fine in CWM.

I just got an update for the Terminal Emulator software and tried again but still get a return to the # prompt with no reboot. It *used* to work just fine - it was just since loading UKB 2.0 -50 PBJ that it didn't.

---------------

Did some Googling --- Try this:

For Terminal

1. open terminal emulator, press menu button, then preferences

2. scroll down to "shell" and changed initial command to read

"export PATH=/system/xbin: $PATH

3. press back button, Terminal will close, reopen terminal

4. type "su" hit return, grant su when promt pops up

5. type "bstats" and hit return

6. phone will reboot.

Found it here.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archalon:
Yup, I see the same thing........was working fine with the reboot under commavolt, quite working only after the switch to PBJ -50

Tried the instructions above, no reboot. Acts the same as if I copied and pasted the extracted bstats commands like I used to do. ( back to # prompt)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badanoob:
no one is answering in the android post so i'll ask here:

about the part when you need to open 2 terminals:

i didn't quite understand the terminals part.. (this is my first time that i'm using this thing..) can someone write it more spcific to me please?.

when i'm trying to go to my SD card on the terminal it says that there is no such thing... :S

and how to save the terminals on the SD card (if needed, if not what to do with them? (both of the terminals that need to be opened))

hope you'll help me.

thanks
[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
You must first enable root account:

go to terminal and type in: sudo passwd root

then enter a new password you want for Root ac and retype it.

Once done. just log off from normal account and type in 'root' as username and newly created password as Password.

Now all you need to do with terminal is when you are done copying the files. open it up (Terminal) then type: cd media/XXX/

where 'XXX' is the name of your EXT2 partition.

Hit enter

then type in: chmod -R 0777 ./*

Press Enter.

Then Just type in: Sudo Sync

Press Enter.

That's it. done with the Terminal part! EXIT it.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badanoob:
OK thanks alot :)

but who do i save it?

cuz if i just exit it, it says it'll kill the terminal.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
If you are a noob of this level then you should not install android on wave.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] georaldc:
If its your first time using ubuntu, spend like an hour with it first.

Also, I think another alternative to logging in as root is to just type sudo nautilus in a terminal to open up the file manager as root. Then use sudo as well to chmod (sudo chmod -R 0777 ./*), and then finally sudo sync
[Bada Software and Hacking General] NHS2008:
Yeah, do as other guys say. I think I gave you all that it is to it. Now you better be off reading stuff up online and practicing it on Ubuntu. Sorry, I thanked you by mistake. :o

Anybody can help me how to make video call on my infuse?thx
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottyb0721:
Qik is only program I found that worked properly with infuse. It worked good doing a video call with an iPhone 4.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
There is an app called Clearsea in the market that is free for now that works very well. We use it on IPads for video conferencing to our video conference system in the office. But I think it can also do device to device video calls as well. Just has to be a SIP or H323 compliant device for it to function properly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
when we get gingerbread we can use google talk to make video calls. skype was working on a video chat release for android and was waiting verizon to give the ok until microsoft bought it. i think we will now have to wait until skype is fully working on windows phone 7 for a few months before they even consider releasing it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dxtra:
Try Tango. They just updated to work with the infuse 4g. Me personally I like tango better they use Push Notification unlike other that have a process running synchronizing every X time killing battery. With tango I could completely shut it down and still get notified.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
ill have to remove my foot from my mouth as it seems the first thing microsoft did with skpe was release video chat for android. its even been hacked to work with galaxy s and galaxy s2 phones with gingerbread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1148708 prolly would work on our phones too, and is yet another reason we need gingerbread!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
**** as if I didn't want gb before. Does skype work device to computer too?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
yes. thats part of the point. seeing as everyone i know now has a phone with a front facing camera and a skype account, and iphones's facetime and android's google talk dont run on each others platforms, itd be really nice to have skype up and running now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tolkien:
Hello everybody, I'm new to the SII scene, coming from an Acer Liquid background.

I'm having a little problem : i can't access «protected» apps on the market, like Riptide, Livelocker, ...

I don't really now how I'm supposed to unlock this without doing anything dirty.

I think it's not something that could be solved through market enabler, as friends with the same carrier as I don't face this problem.

Thank you for your help !!!

Tolki/Gary
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tolkien:
So, I tried a few things, but can't manage to find a clean solution :/

Does anybody have any clue on the precise origine of this ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sexpest699:
go to market. settings. content filtering.show all apps. thats the only thing i can think of.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
Apps will be filtered depending on your handset. Certain apps are for certain handsets only (E.g. Trackball alert for the Nexus one). You can't see games like Riptide as they're meant for tegra2 devices. The easiest way to view them is to download chainfire 3d and choose the 'Fix market' option, it'll then let you view all tegra2 based apps on the market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tolkien:
Thank you for your help, but I still can't see LiveLocker... And I fail to understand why :/

how to downgrade ?

it would be better if you provide some links how to downgrade from froyo 2.2 - eclair 2.1 (either to 2.51 or 2.59)

and also to gingerbread (2.3.4 or 2.3.3) to froyo 2.2 or else eclair 2.1 (either 2.51 or 2.59)

if someone has flashed with full sbf . as of now not talking about them. but if someone has flashed gingerbread 2.3.3/2.3.4 with nanodroid backup of 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 (shadows rom) ... they arent able to find any solution to downgrade as of now . can you please provide a proper link which works for downgrade in the above mentioned scenario ?

2init will in install CMW Mode which helps in recovery. So what i knw is

"2init in needed to make a recovery option in booting menu which helps to recover from a nanroid backup"..

seems no other method is avaliable as Defy has a locked boot loader and u can edit it easily..

bt u can also try RSDLite to restore from a .SBF file using PC

[Xperia Play General] hate_do:
I bought my X'PLAY (Android 2.3.2 build number .184) when i travelled to HK few weeks ago since it hasn't reached my country till now..

i got problem with my PLAY, everytime after playing games (xperia play ones especially) for about 10 - 15 mins it crash the android system.. the screen freeze, nothing happened when touching it.. touchpad game n the power button as well did not function. Then i flashed my firware using SEUS, still could not solve the problem. I have to remove the battery to make everything normal again.

Few days later I flashed n changed my firmware to UK region via wotanserver.com (android 2.3.2 build number .184).. this time it helped a bit, the screen did not freeze anymore after playing games for about 15 mins but the touchpad game n the power button issues still occur.. i could not shut down my phone but the touch screen could function well.. Also sd-card could not be recognized by computer when i connected it. Again, i have to remove the battery to make everything works normal

After android 2.3.3 released, i updated my PLAY via SEUS hoping it would fix my problems.. but it even get worse, screen freeze.. touchpad game n power button did not function just like the very first time.

No choice, have to remove the battery to make it normal again.

Now i downgrade to 2.3.2 UK region using flashtool.. at least the screen still work after playing games for hours, but have to remove the battery to make the sd card worked when connected to computer.

Anyone with the same issues? i got frustated... Help guys!!
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I had the exact same problem with my old play. You got a defective play... The problem is isolated and few since no one else has that issue. With me it was only when running intense games like rainbow 6 and other hd games. I suggest you return it for another asap... My carrier (rogers) sent me a new one. If you don't have warranty... Since you did get it in hk... I suggest you get a quickboot App from the market so you can reboot it without taking out the battery.
[Xperia Play General] hate_do:
Thanks for the advice.. i installed the quickboot already, but it need root access.. meanwhile my PLAY has not been rooted. I ever tried to root with gingerbreak in the past but always failed.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Root it when it is the generic uk 2.3.2. And then upgrade it to 2.3.3 what problems were you having with rooting
[Xperia Play General] hate_do:
Finally successful rooting my PLAY after much... much effort working on it. I don't think i want to update it to 2.3.3 since my screen will get freeze as a result of playing games too long.. Better use the current 2.3.2, my screen will still work (sometimes it happens to me a thought; is it a firmware issue or faulty device issue why my PLAY screen will get freeze after playing games if i use other firmware exclude 2.3.2).

Anyway really appreciate for the info about quickboot app, now i don't need to remove my battery anymore :) Thanks bro
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
I'm pretty sure it's your device that is faulty.. I'm not 100 percent sure but I believe it is overheating when you run games that require more power. That is why all the functions on the phone stops working. Should really send it to sony to repair or replace if possible.
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
On my new play that they replaced I have not ran into that problem at all... I played rainbow 6 for 6to7 hrs straight with no problems...
[Xperia Play General] hate_do:
Got to be patient to get my PLAY repaired in sony service center for it hasn't been launched in my country yet. Rumor says a month or two later the PLAY will launched here
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
You should contact the person who sold it to you... I don't think it would be under warranty in the country that you are in.
[Droid 2 Global General] FlyingPoo:
Im new to the Droid 2 Global, but not new to the Android platform (I came from the Samsung Vibrant and helped out with TeamWhiskey's ROMs) This is the first I have seen an Android Phone charge in an hour and 15 mins! And hold an Idle charge for 48 hours! Is this normal?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Mine charges in 2 hours or so, and I find it blazing fast compared to my old Nokia 9300 and Motorola V547.

And 48 hours idle seems pretty much normal, considering you're on Verizon. I get up to 80 hours idle on GSM 2G and 40 to 60 on HSPA without placing/receiving calls or using data explicitly (besides the weather widget) and not touching the phone at all.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I know a couple ass holes over in the G2X forum who won't appreciate this. As you know, I have both devices as well and prefer the Sensation over the G2X. There are a couple guys over in the G2X forum that will defend that thing until it blows up. They don't want to admit something else is better than the phone there stuck with for a couple years.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Yes, I do know you have both. Actually your Posts helped me decide to get a sensation. Thanks again. Thank god im rid that G2x. It was nice at first. Just got crappy after a bit. Heated up a lot etc. This is great man. Yes, they will defend it to the end. lmfaoooo hell tegra can run on other devices not using Chainfire 3d so meh. No reason to keep a G2x.

Id love to link this in the g2x forum...lol make em mad.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I would link it there just to show them that there are many people who switched to the Sensation who thinks it's the all around better device.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
hehe should cause a stir... Here we go. :) lol
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
And as JRwin knows I also have the g2x. I havent been able to do a side by side comparison yet because I traded one of my G2x's for the sensation and the other one LG had for repair. It's on the fed ex truck today. I do notice though that the g2x was a lot faster but to be fair it's running vanilla android and it was overclocked. I kind of do miss my G2x though and am looking forward to getting it back from LG today. The only issue I really had with my G2x was screen bleeding. It was acceptable on one (the one I traded) and really bad on the other that I sent to LG for repair. I think they are both great phones(if you get a g2x that doesnt have tons of issues which seems to be rare)

I really do love both phones. The guy from phone dog I think put it best. The G2x is a Ferrari that looks like an ugly car and the sensation is like a BMW 5 series, really nice looking and also a good performer but not as fast as the Ferrari
[HTC Sensation] bluemoon737:
+1 and not looking back...this thing is SO much better.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
Maybe once you go back to the G2x you will realize sensation ftw? or maybe thats just your experience. Either way, great post. I also said to a lot of people before that guy said that, " the g2x is a muscle car with no bells and whistles and the sensation is a luxury car with bells and whistles just not as fast as the muscle car". lol

very true?

Also I think the route you go is great. Send in for repair instead of waist another store device and it will probably have a issue as well. My sensation is issue free other than a couple specs of dust so if I ever get bothered or it gets worse. Im doing that. Sending it in. I want this phone. lol
[HTC Sensation] player911:
Because the G2x + CM7 >>>>>>>>>> Sensation

Once they ship the G2x with GB stock, the Sensation will be old news.
[HTC Sensation] smashpunks:
lol you must have rated that thread a 1 star. lmaoooo

Ive tried cm7 up to build 55 before dumping that DUMP. CM7 was buggy shiznit. Brightness cant even be changed. lol Gps bad, in landscape screen sensitivity crap, and lets not mention the 20% off battery meter even after it was apparently fixed.

GB on the G2x will not be released for a while, and will bring more bugs.

For real, go in landscape, and try and touch the bottom of the bottom letters. lol they dont respond. Something wack with that phone.
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
I've been using the Verizon Fascinate (Galaxy S) since launch. When the G2x came out, I got that on launch day to check out T-Mobile and a potentially awesome phone. The G2x was okay, but it didn't feel like a full step up from my Galaxy S series phone. Then it got a little buggy and I didn't have confidence in it. I returned it and cancelled at the end of the 14-day window, because I felt the Sensation may give me the step up I was looking for.

I received my Sensation in the mail yesterday. Honestly, I'm ready to tell them to port my number NOW and cancel Verizon, but it hasn't even been 24 hours yet. I'll be patient and see what issues arise over the next few days as I know some issues take a while to surface (based on what I've read). Even so, the Sensation really is an awesome phone. As already written, I wish the speaker was somewhere else like on the G2x, but that's a design flaw most phones seem to have nowadays for some reason.

I also didn't imagine all the issues LG/T-Mobile are having with the G2x. Things have been real shady since the phone was launched. I'm real glad I jumped off that boat when I had the chance. There doesn't need to be any hate between any phone users - even if they use an iPhone. You have every right to love your device and dislike another. That being said, the Sensation definitely feels like a winner... but it is too soon to tell for sure. :)
