[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierre1321:
Looked at guide for radio posted by windows 7 , that is mainly for models 9020a,9020T and 9023. I have sprint so i have a D720.

First off, i think if icould make my preferred network type stick that my signal would be better. Still have to look into build.prop

Second, would like some help as to why i can't access wimaxx menu even after i enter my MSL.

rooted through 1 click root

No CWM

Have sprint so it D720

Still stock

Could really use some help, i really think this info would help with the signal issues if i can get info :).

Oh yeah. On windows XP till i get laptop back so ..

..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierre1321:
Anybody looking at this should prolly look at the Build.prop thread in this section. Still need help with wimaxx but there's some good info in there going around. Wimaxx anyone?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lollavid:
I have an unlocked Tab and am currently in Germany where I bought

a sim card. Whenever I try to enter the similar pin, nothing happens. I just hit enter and it tells me I still have one more attempt. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas? The similar card is from Aldo (Medion I think).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Your tab is locked. If you enter a wrong code again you won't be able to unlock it.

Go to the market and get chainfire's unlocking app. search sgs2simunlocker and run it, but it takes about ten minutes. Write the code down.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A.G.:
I assume your Tab is a GSM-model (sorry for stating the obvious, I just want to be on the safe side).

Are you sure, it is unlocked? To find out, enter *#7465625# in the phone app. If Network Lock is shown as [ON], your Tab is locked.

You can use the app suggested by rangercaptain, however it was written for the Galaxy S, not the Tab. So it might work or not (there are even SGS- configurations it doesn't work with, including my own). If the app doesn't help, you might want to try this unlocking guide: http://www.galaxytabnews.com/news/sim-unlock-galaxy-tab/

Any feedback is appreciated.
[Dell Streak 7] fliberdygibits:
I know the Streak 7 requires about 5.4 volts and something well over the normal 500mA to chage so not just any A/C to USB charger will work. Anyone know offhand of a good source for an adapter that will charge the 7 and preferably has a folding plug or the like so it's streamlined and also something that's rugged. I don't want a cheap $1.99 cent no name piece of plastic.

Thanks:)
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
Any 5v 2 AMP charger will work.
[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
I too am looking for an a/c charger and would love an affordable recommendation. Ive looked everywhere and I find chargers that are like $24 (way too much) or like a dollar (don't trust it at that price). Thanks alot.
[Dell Streak 7] farfromuman:
I have one HTC 5V 1A adapter from my old Hero that works (folding plugs), also LG 5V 700ma works as well (from Optimus One). I am sure these are slower at charging but they do work. Would be good for overnight charging.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Any ideas on a good, AA powered USB charger? I know AAs will get eaten pretty quick, but I have some Eneloops sitting around doing nothing and I'd love to get a little more juice on the go.

Juice on the go. Now I have a picture of a white Bronco slowly fleeing the cops down the freeway stuck in my head.
[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
Thanks. I guess as long as they work it doesn't really matter how long they take to charge. Hopefully with all the tablets coming out, a/c to USB 2 amp chargers will become more accessable at lower prices. Until then ill just use a 1 amp charger.
[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
This is the only thing i could find along those lines. But the website looks pretty sketch so Im not sure if i would trust it. just replace the " DOT " in the link with periods, I cant post links cause im a noob :(

[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
Thanks, I went on amazon and ordered a charger for a Palm, it looks really nice and it was less than 4 bucks, Ill post again when I get it with a link if it works.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I got that one, but it only worked for about 20 seconds and then never worked again. I got a replacement, same deal. It seems very cheaply made and heats up very quickly. I made sure my Eneloops had a full charge, too.
[Dell Streak 7] purelywasted:
I use the newest iphone 4 (white phone) usb plug. The printed spec says 1 amp, but it works fine, I am assuming it is the same unit as the ipad, but a different sticker. iphone 3 plug did not work.
[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
Yeah, i thought it looked shady. But hopefully the cheap 1 amp charger i bought will work. There were some promising rechargeable external batteries on amazon, they run like 60 bucks but they put out an amp and look like they are high quality.
[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
The charger that I bought works great! I'm sure its a little slower charge than the original charger but it is much easier to travel with. Link below replace "DOT" with ". "

[Dell Streak 7] d1r3ct1v3:
naw not same as ipad charger that charger is kinda big about 2X2X1 with foldable plugs and also removable plugs to attatch an extension
[Dell Streak 7] dbpaddler:
fyi....1amp is definitely fine. Their car kit includes a 1amp 12v usb charger. Kinda peeved. I was expecting a 2amp one similar to the ac one that comes with the streak. Thankfully I only paid $7 for the car kit which is pretty much what I'd pay for another dock cable.
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Is 1Amp enough to charge with the screen on the brightest setting while using gps and wifi ?

Also, I ordered 3 cables from china for $9 total. Ill let you know if they work properly and if so ill link them. Im planning on a cable mod for usb-otg on one of them. Will report back. Also, anyone have a complete pinout on the dock connector? Trying to find out if the only charging pins are the ones used for usb connection. We are going to need to be able to charge while supplying power via usb to devices. Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] dbpaddler:
I haven't re-downloaded copilot yet since upgrading to DJSteve's 3.2. So I haven't tested everything out yet. Have my hotspot though so I theoretically can. With more 2amp chargers out there, it should be a moot point though. I just picked up a dual one that has both a 1amp and 2amp. With the loaner car at the moment, I'm kinda just dealing with the usb port for charging. Kinda cool it even has usb.

I will say, the viewpad 7x is catching my eye though. And with HC on the Dell, resell should be easy. Just saying.
[Dell Streak 7] asjimene:
Yes 1 amp will charge the device at full brightness with GPS, Wifi, and Bluetooth.
[Dell Streak 7] pyraxiate:
Awesome ty. I was using a 2Amp charger but lost it.

Edit.

I picked up an OEM HTC USB wall charger 5v 1Amp.... it does Not charge it with screen on, wifi on, and gps
[Dell Streak 7] purelywasted:
I assumed it was pad, but I guess it is just an iphone charger. Its a small cube with usb slot. Charges unit with no problems.
[XPERIA X8 General] ale.spinelli:
I have looked for similar posts but I haven't found exactly what I was looking for or I found old posts in the general sections of the forum, so I ask here:

What is the usefulness of an ext3 partition on the SD memory for applications?

Can anyone tell me an accurate guide to follow the procedure?
[XPERIA X8 General] ale.spinelli:
No one knows how to help me? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 General] Blacksony:
I think you will not need it.

ext3 earlier used for app2sd, but now almost all custom roms have native app2sd = means that you don' t have to make a own partition

correct me if im wrong :)

Blacksony
[XPERIA X8 General] ale.spinelli:
I'm starting to think that there is no use to format the SD to ext3..
[XPERIA X8 General] diegoxcore12:
U can make a partition in your SD for example of 1 gb EXT3 only for apps, you can make it with minitool partition wizard home edition (its free)

In ext3 the apps is fully saved in the sd (.apk, dalvik cache and data) and you can liberate more space in the disk than app2sd.

if u don't understand say me jaja my english is poor and i talk like a tarzan ! xD
[XPERIA X8 General] ale.spinelli:
Finally! :D

Thank you very much. I will provide downloading MiniTool Partition Wizard and format the sd by myself. If I find it difficult, I will ask your help here. :p
[XPERIA X8 General] diegoxcore12:
you are welcome, other form of format the SD in ext is with clock work recovery but you'll lose all your data

make a backup of your all data in sd before make a partition !
[EVO Shift 4G General] jes24cap:
I went in to the sprint store to have my wifes shift looked at. The phone would not factory reset/update/ or anything that had to do with system changes. The phone was working but I could not root it or put 2.3 from sprint on it. After sprint Bricked my phone they replaced it. It already had the new 2.3 on it and I know I must wait for the devs to make it rootable. But now to my question.

I can not get easytether pro or any other usb tethering app to work. I have used easytether before with no issues and the drives are installed on my computer. Has any one else have this issue with the sprint 2.3? If you have a usb (non root) tethering app working on your phone that has sprints 2.3 on it, can you let me know what app it is?

Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
Try PDA Net from the market, you will have to install the app on your phone and d/l and install the PDA Net program on your computer. Should work no problem.Installed on my phone and my wife's.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhaase345:
PdaNet works great on 2.3.3. You do need to download version 3.0 of the PdaNet client for windows.
[EVO Shift 4G General] zeroborders:
Does PDAnet add any overhead to the bandwidth? Seems like the only way to tether the phone using gingerbrad. Darn I can't wait for a root of 2.3.3
[EVO Shift 4G General] FdxRider:
Not that I've noticed ,when connected to my laptop it is as fast as when connected to the wireless router(maybe just a tick slower but nothin worth sreamin about.)
[EVO Shift 4G General] retiredhp2200:
I'm lucky to see 56K with PDAnet on my comp.
[EVO Shift 4G General] stormchaser404:
I definitely find PDAnet slower than the wifi tethering I used to have before i screwed up and allowed the OTA to n2.3. Note, the free version of PDAnet blocks all secure sites. If you want secure sites to work, you have to buy the paid ap. Really hope somebody figures out how to root Gingerbread.
[EVO Shift 4G General] rhaase345:
No problems here

Running on the OTA 2.3 update for the last month. Pdanet works fine for me. I consistly get download speeds on a tethered PC between 750KB and 1.5MB using 4G. I never use 3G for tethering so I cannot speak to its speed. On WiFi tether (before I got 2.3 update) I only got between 150KB and 200KB.

[Defy General] Hugo32:
Hi,

I got this very weird results from Quadrant:

@ standard voltage for 300/600/1000 I get 1450 points

@ 22/33/53 voltage for the same clock I get only 1100 points

=> so the performance is directly dependant on voltage, not clock! My system ran stable for days under all circumstances.

to be more precise: Only the voltage for Vsel3 (= 1000mhz in my case) is important

What does that mean ? Can someone explain ?
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
nope..thats now true..try to run the test again..i bet u will get comparable difference in score..

more vsel value does nor give more score..

processor needs some minimum amount of voltage(threshold) to run smoothly..once it crosses the minimum voltage the remaining voltage is the excess voltage..which doesnt affect the performance of the cpu..and excessive voltage produces heat which is not gud for the mobile :)

so do the test again or even lower the vsel value and test again..u will not get less score(if u get less score then do the test again and u may get more score).

btw pls correct me if i m wrong :)
[Defy General] Hugo32:
I ran the test about 5 times with each setting.

@ 55 voltage I always get good results, below 54 I always get bad results.
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
strange...i have 19@300,32@600,52@1000...i get 2200+

btw i m running CM7
[Defy General] Hugo32:
yeah I know that CM7 is very effective but I'm still afraid of the whole flashing process... And I don't know if CM7 can be returned to stock froyo if necessary...

I'm on nordic right now, which I flashed with RSDlite...
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
its very easy to flash CM7..just follow the tutorial..u should try CM7..it is awesome..

All the best :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrei.locic:
hello. i'm faced with a problem: i have my i9000 for about 1 year; never rooted it; only update my operating system 2 times via samsung kies when i got the message that a new firmware was available while connecting my phone to my pc (now i have PDA:JS4 / PHONE:JPY / CSC:JS1 (ORO)); and for some time now the phone discharges very fast; lasts about 8 hours; i use it at a medium pace: making phone calls, writing sms and replying on messenger if someone gives me an instant message and every now and then i listen to some music when i'm going somewhere, besides that i don't use it much; and i don't have programs running in the background except for the accounts sync system for yahoo mail, gmail and yahoo messenger. so i decided to recalibrate my battery to see if it lasts longer. i got android terminal emulator from the market but the problem is i don't have access to delete the batterystats.bin since the phone is not rooted. so here are a few questions:

1. should i root my phone just so i can delete this file ?

2. which of the 2 methods works best for battery recalibration ? the one where you charge your phone till 100% while it's on then switch off and charge some more ? or the one where you let the phone die and the charge completely while it's off ? (i ask this because browsing the forums i see everyone saying a different thing about this topic)

3. if i decide to root my phone to be able to delete the above mentioned file, should i install one of those user made operating systems (i think they are called ROMs) that has a lower battery consumption rate ? (i don't know how to do it but i think i can manage following the tutorials on this forums). i saw in a poll that darkys operating system has the lower battery consumption. is that correct ?

thanks for reading this long threat and taking your time to reply to it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
1.) I would do so. With root access you do much more cool things. ;)

2.) In Darky's forum (darkyrom.com) you can find a good manual for calibrating.

3.) Custom-ROMs have some features stick-ROMs don't have. At the moment you have a branded phone (branded by Orange?). Some ROMs need quite less battery (Juwe's for example).

- Only wipe battery stats once, run a few cycles of full charge / discharge and after that just use your phone as normal (i.e. no need to deplete / charge fully anymore).
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMaki:
I've been searching and seen that AT&T didn't provide unlock codes for new phones, but must give them after 10 month from launch. Since it's about the time frame for the Aria, I was wondering if anyone tried to get the code from AT&T.

Do you have to be an AT&T customer? if I'm buying a used phone can I ask for the code also?

thx
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Here are the official "rules" for unlock codes: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=55002&cv=820#fbid=0yQi8JC0xlj

Even if they won't give you the unlock code, you can get them relatively cheaply online so you've always got options.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMaki:
thanks that I was looking for.

Still don't get from this if they will give the code to a non-customer, but I guess I'll just to call and ask them.

For everyone out there:

I would like your help with testing. I have a crash on start problem with firefox in all the images I tried. Does any of you have the same issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] reida010:
Hi,

i get

Loop device exists

then i did

echo "$kit/arm_ubuntu.img"

and i get

/sdcard/ubuntu/arm_ubuntu.img

but then i get

mount: cannot setup loop device: No such file or directory

any ideas?

Because of firefox.

i read a while ago a tweet about a bug in meego and ubuntu in firefox for arm.

when it is this bug then you should try firefox trunk because it is fixed.

but i cannot refind it :-(

[Acer Iconia A500] neonoafs:
I was searching for that today, thanks mate. Nice Tutorial =D
[Acer Iconia A500] Kh_Shad:
i have the same problem. You should make loop file not in /mnt/sdcard, but in /mnt/external_sd.
[Acer Iconia A500] p-ille:
That would apply only if you put the image file in the external MicroSD, if you have put it in the internal memory (as described in the tutorial) the path is /mnt/sdcard. Also, the speed of the internal memory is better.
[Acer Iconia A500] reida010:
Hi,

i found out how i can make it work :-)

but it's strange.

i don't works when i do

sh ./startubuntu

but with this it works fine:

/system/bin/sh ./startubuntu

Is this maybe because i didn't use adb.

Someone told me that copy paste might change the permissions (what the ****! really?)

on my tablet startubuntu is not executable.

And it doesn't change anything when i do chmod 755 startubuntu

but after moving it to /system/bin chmod works fine.

After then i can always just run

su
startubuntu

and ubuntu is up and running.

(many thanks by the way :-D)
[Acer Iconia A500] tholmewood:
Sorry guys, will this method produce a native Ubuntu install similair to how Wubi works? Or is this like the chroot methods were we have to VNC into the distro from within Android?
[Acer Iconia A500] reida010:
It is native!!!

but you need vnc to access the xserver

On my n900 i used xephyr but i don't think this is working for android because afaik they don't use X. (n900 is so cool for linux geeks ;-D)

edit:

if you mean with 'native' that it will replace android -> no -> it is a chroot
[Acer Iconia A500] tholmewood:
Yeah that answered my question. Thank you :-)

I'm not going to bother until there is a native distro running with full system resources. I guess with the current bootloader situation that day may never come :-(
