[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dork6243:
T-Mobile will throttle down your data after you hit the 2GB ceiling, get Verizon before the 7th of July and you're locked in with unltd data with no cap or throttle, be it 3G or LTE. Even if you don't have LTE yet, you will eventually. The majority of features on a smartphone use network data, so all the memory and processing power technology has to offer means absolutely **** when your data stinks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wool02:
If you don't get LTE in your area, download LTE On/Off or a similar program and switch to CDMA Auto. This will greatly improve your battery life.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskmk:
I would take a not-so-hot device on Verizon's 4G any day over a "hot device" on a non Verizon carrier any day!!

Plus, the TB is definitely hot :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamSPD:
Verizon + Unlimited 4G LTE on the Thunderbolt can't be beat. ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoulderGeek:
Thank you very much for taking the time to write that up, RunNGun!

You've hit upon many of my concerns and observations. I was actually thinking that the Sensation's aspect ratio difference and smaller size would be a positive for me. the Thunderbolt with a silicone bumper case feels as massive as the old Apple Newton I had in 1994.

But, I'm a relatively substantial guy at six feet and 215lbs, so it's not overwhelmingly large. I think that the 4" AMOLED of the Samsung Galaxy S line is the sweet spot for me. but, when I had one on AT&T, I returned it within three weeks. And I am glad that I did.

I'm getting about the same battery that you are. I also have USB at work and chargers all over the house, cars and motorcycles so I'm quite covered for applying power. I might get 8 hours on the stock battery, with wifi off and green power on.

I'm holding off the root and flash until I am out of return period and whatever upgrade that may come has been seen. I did port over my TMobile number that I've had since 1998, so I am pretty much sold on the Tbolt. i did a Speedtest in the car at a stoplight the other day and got 30mbit! And, I've already burned through 5+ Gigs of data just letting the bloatware do its thing and playing some Pandora.

I had a very good experience with Tmobile on my old Nokia 5800. But that sucked so badly for data services, that i only had text and voice on it. However, i could always make a call, where my GF on iPhone 4 has about a 50/50 chance of getting service or an inbound call.

I've also had good experiences with VZW in the past, but CDMA is such dead tech, it is hard to buy into it in 2011. I'd prefer a true world phone for my travels.

Cheers again for a great synopsis.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
So you got the TB then? I have to agree with you about CDMA, but with a carrier as big and powerful as VZW I guess it doesnt really matter, they've certainly proven that it is a reliable platform and they can do great things with it. I wish I could use my phone overseas too, but at least I'll always have my wife's HD2 which is GSM for those occasions.

BTW I forgot to mention that my battery life is stifled from use of bluetooth a lot. I basically leave bluetooth on 24/7, GPS too, even though I'm not really using GPS that much. I dont actually shut off the radio. WiFi is always off. The first day I actually got 12 hours out of it before charging, because I was just too busy to play with it. Hard to say what my ultimate average will really be.
[Epic 4G Themes] ZiggSVO:
Halo

ZiggSeVO and Paul627g bring to you a theme based on the popular XBOX videogame series, Halo.

ONLY TESTED SO FAR ON BONSAI. But it should work on SRF as well. This was made using the same framework as our last theme so it should be fine :D

If not...I'm not responsible ;)

I guess I did most of the graphics work and Paul handled most of the arrangement of the theme and working with the files. Team effort :D

Bought my son an Epic for his upcoming birthday and he really thought it was cool how Paul and I did the Gears of War theme. So I asked him..."Call of Duty or Halo" And Halo is what he picked. So first and foremost this is for my son we are just sharing it with all of you as well :) However...constructive criticism is still very expected and appreciated :)

Please note this is a wip (work in progress) with updates planned as we design and finish other aspects of the theme.​

Thanks qbking!

I have found best results if coming from a fresh flash of a new ROM. If you have any FC's from different apps then try going into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and clear cache/data on the app of question.

[Epic 4G Themes] Paul627g:
On the subject of the notification/status bar icons I've always had mixed feelings about theming those. If they aren't done just right they can be very tacky and have no appeal. This is just my views...

We could consider coloring the existing icons a shade of blue to match the Halo colors... Otherwise were open to suggestions.

Nice now only if I had interent and/or better service . Damn the whole moving process aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! But looks goood cant wait to try
[Epic 4G Themes] Falstafff:
My daily theme, thx

Like this theme a lot, have been using it for the last month or so. Pretty used to the 'shield' looking icons now, for pretty much everything on the launcher.

The Cortana gallery icon is top notch guys, awesome.

My suggestion might be a color battery icon, sometimes the gray is hard to see, IE "am I at 15 or 45 percent?"

Or, maybe the Halo circle, which would show blue for the charged percentage of the circle, sort of the like the gingerbread circle icon, except it would be the frickin halo icon baby.

thanks again !
[Epic 4G Themes] Paul627g:
Zigg and I talked a bit earlier about things and once we throw out the Captain America theme we have in progress we will be doubling back to work on some more Halo stuff.

I have a few things sitting on the files already made and I think Zigg does too, so we will have to gather them up for a much needed update.

OFF Topic a bit, but I hope official GB drops soon and we can port to GB because I'm really excited about at least one more update to Gears of War theme to flow right into Gears of War 3 release on September 20th... ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] Art2Fly:
Looks good, you should put some notification sounds to go with it though.
[Epic 4G Themes] Paul627g:
We can look into it... Notification sounds and ringtones have never been high on the priority list for any themes so its usually overlooked.
[Epic 4G Themes] Art2Fly:
Yeah, I realized that, and personally any kind of notification sound would make the theme just that much better, i mean, look at themes for windows 7, most of them come with notification sounds, or presets, why not android?
[Epic 4G Themes] Paul627g:
I will see what Zigg thinks about this. I have mentioned it in the past and we rolled the idea around a bit before. Probably another consideration is some people really value their device onboard available memory and loading it up with more notifications and ringtones starts to eat up space. There are many factors to consider to try and please the overall audience.

But there is hope, we could look into offering an optional ringtone/notification package if we feel its worth getting involved in.
[Epic 4G Themes] xxampdxfatalxx:
Now do you do any work with stuff for the samsung galaxy S? I am running Cynogenmod 7 and would be interested if possible of throwing a request out there if you would beable to make something like this of that phone and ROM.
[Epic 4G Themes] ZiggSVO:
Well as I nor my partner have it you would have to ask in your phones section for someone to port it. Considering they are both galaxy devices it should be painless
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivenward:
The first touch button [menu] is being activated on its own at random times, and the problem is aggravated whenever the CPU seems to be working harder. This started happening about a month ago, after more than a year of perfect operation.

I thought that it could be a software issue, so I upgraded the Froyo to GB, but the problem persists. It is worth noting that even during bootup the menu button is activating multiple times on its own, when the CPU is loaded.

As you can imagine, this is fairly irritating, so if you could think of a possible remedy I'd appreciate it. Thx.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yalkowni:
have you tried to ODIN back to stock?? once i had a similar problem and that solved it

thanks button if i helped
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivenward:
Ok, I've Heimdalled to stock JFD:

heimdall flash --repartition --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --modem modem.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage

Flash succeeded just fine, but after multiple reboots the Menu button auto-activation problem persists.

Previously, before I upgraded my Froyo to GB, I loaded the GB-compliant bootloaders. Booting up, I can now see both the I9000 and Vibrant boot screens, and CWM is still on the device. This makes me think that the ROM is still not purely stock, but riddled with left-overs from previous ROMs.

I will now reflash the Froyo bootloaders in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117990 , and format the sdcard to see if the problem goes away.

Could I get the stock bootloader that came with JFD, or is the Froyo bootloader my only choice?

Thx for the help, it is appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laylovj:
JFD doesn't flash bootloaders...try using the JFD file in the original Bootloader topic.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivenward:
Stock JFD is flashed and working.

GB bootloader has been replaced with Froyo bootloader, and it seems like the phone is on stock recovery, NOT CWM.

I have previously unlocked the phone, and that is still intact. So I'm thinking that there are still some residuals messing up my system, and making my Menu button misbehave.

My question is:

What else can I do to make the phone as fresh and stock as possible?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivenward:
It is worth noting that the menu button misbehaves even when the phone is turned off, and the USB-battery charging icon is shown. This makes me think that the problem has more to do with the underlying boot/system firmware than the ROM.

Is it possible for me to somehow deactivate the Menu button and remap its primary single-click function to say the Search button long-click?

Even by changing the system files or hacking something?

This problem is ridiculously annoying, just imagine trying to type an email or SMS when the Send button keeps popping up in front of the keyboard. I'm amazed that I have not yet accidentally sent an incomplete message.

yalkowni, could you perhaps give more details of how exactly you went back to stock? I've gone back to stock, but the problem remains.

Your help is very much appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yalkowni:
i use odin not heimdall
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivenward:
I just have to mention that after a couple of months of usage, the misbehaving menu button problem went away on its own.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cindy Miller:
misbehaving menu button

I have the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy SII Epic 4g Touch (Sprint). The menu button pops up on it's own in all applications. But it happens for me when I'm out of my house. In a public place or outside. Made me think it's being activated by light or movement. I'm not a developer and don't understand technical talk, but no one can help me and has even heard of this problem outside of this forum.

I've done a hard reset, a factory reset, taken it to Sprint and Radio Shack (who holds my insurance). Thanks for any help.
[LG Optimus Black] takumi24:
Hey guys, i dont know if i posted in the right place but here it goes......

Ok so i jus got the lg optimus black p970 and first thing was first to upgrade as told by t-mobile i could upgrade to 2.3.....

Ok so i use the lg updating software on pc and it says i was being updated from 1.6 -2.1 although in (about phone) it says 2.2.2 bfore and after the s/w upgrade :s

So to cut it short i want to upgrade to 2.3 and i hear i need custom rom and root (only ever used super one click for galaxy tab) meaning lack of exp rooting lg....

will the gingerbreak root work for the lg thats not on 2.3 and is there a solid walkthrough about that you guys can link me too so i can fully understand what i am doing......what i have found doesnt explain much and i dare not risk it....

Thanks in advance

there are no custom ROMS for the black..... yet
[LG Optimus Black] takumi24:
thanks man
[LG Optimus Black] nunogil:
If you want to root your LG P970 than u should use gingerbreak. There is a really nice topic made by Noejn explaining how to do it in the android development section of Black forum. There are no custom rom's yet but I think that they will appear in a short period.
[LG Optimus Black] rey031:
Gingerbread update still hasn't been released by LG for the Optimus Black. What the T-mobile rep might have meant is that the LG Optimus Black is upgradeable to 2.3, which it is. It's just that the Android 2.3 update still isn't available yet for the OB.

Once custom ROMs are made based on AOSP 2.3 or CyanogenMod, then you can have Gingerbread for your OB.

LG might be releasing the official Gingerbread update on September based on this thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-black-black-modaco-com/342281/2-3-gigerbread-official-release/

hello, im trying to modify the boot animations of a few roms i downloaded but im unable to find exactly where the already installed bootanimation.zips are placed so perhaps if anyone knows that can help me or if the Dev's of these ROM's can help me i would most appreciate it. here are the ROM's i am trying to change the boot animation on..

- [ROM]-[MikRoms]-Optimized Shift-[UPDATED][6-22-11]

- [ROM] Kingdom Stock GingerSense 3.0 [Android 2.3.3] [RLS2] [6/8/11]

- [ROM] Nils' Business GingerSense - (6/20/11 V2.1) Android 2.3.3 - Sense 2.1/ Some 3.0

The boot animation for Nils Business Gingersense (versions 2.1 & 2.2 to be specific) are in data/local. I should know, I just pushed a new boot animation there.

This has happened to me with different builds ( of all of the different gingerbread roms) since the switch from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and .4.

When this happens, I will either try a different Rom, or use something called Fix Flash that is in the development section for the CDMA Hero. My phone currently is liking the Jaybob build. Also, as silly as this might sound, but formatting the partitions 3x can actually help too ( boot, system, data, and cache).good luck, I've been there.

Can't get past the HTC screen...

I got a new HERO200 as a replacement for a damaged one and am able to root it with confirmed SU permissions. I have tried clockwork 2.5.0.7 and RA 1.6.2 for the heroc. I tried flashing Cyanogenmod 7 (7.0.2 / 7.0.3 / 7.1.0 / and even a 6), AOSP and it keeps hanging at the HTC screen when I reboot the device out of recovery. The first reboot after flashing a ROM will briefly display the HTC screen and then go black. I have to remove the battery to reset the phone. When I power it up again, it will display the HTC screen and just hang, even after multiple restarts via a battery removal. I have wiped all the data/cache/etc. multiple times as from a previous post in this thread, but without luck. I'm getting very frustrated to say the least and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi , im suffering one big problem... My phone suddenly disconnects from the 3g or hsdpa signal at the point that Im not able to receive or make phone calls , to resolve that I need to go to airplane mode or wait 2 -3 minutes . Its not an operator problem becuase I had the exact same settings (apn) with my captivate and I never faced that.

Ive tried many roms , many modems , and even disable Fast dormancy without no luck.

So , is anyone suffering the same problem? , is there any way to fix it!

[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Because everyone that's posting is from the far corners of the world, there's no stock answer to radio issues. Some of the problems have been carrier specific and even down to a certain city on that carrier.

1) The phone's designed to drop from "H" to "3G" when data's not in use to save battery. When working properly it picks back up immediately when needed.

2) By default, "fast dormancy" is enabled on the phone. It too is to save battery and works well on carriers that support it. Not so well on carriers that don't.

Dig around on the forum and you'll find tons of discussion on every flavor of radio issue.

I was able to get rid of that problem by wiping data/restoring stock settings and then NOT installing any configs from the configuration messages my operator sent me.
