[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I'd try doing a full wipe and restoring/reflashing the rom without using titanium to restore. While it is convenient, it seems like it causes more issues than its worth. Are you restoring any app or system data? And did you wipe everything before going back to the stock rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
I've had this issue before. I did a PRL update (*22899) and after my phone rebooted it was working. Give that a try.
[Galaxy 3 General] Dharam_Maniar:
the change in bootscreen is because you flashed a ROM with I5800 bootloader.

Dont worry, it wont harm your phone

Softbrick is that state, in which you cant boot up the ROM, but can go into the download mode to flash a new ROM :)

Hello all...rarely post, been here for years though...since this is a relatively new thing, figured I'd post and see what people have to say or if anyone else has the same issue...

I have multiple gmail accounts...pretty sure most people do...I have been invited to google +..woot! but the mobile version of the program only shows one of my gmail accounts....not the one I have an active google + account with. I do have 2 step verification active with my main account...wondering if anyone else has seen this yet or has fixed it? Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Legion09:
Ok..so..I found the solution here. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=0b4b96e720c902a8&hl=en

If you have multiple accounts on your phone, remove them, join google +, then re-add the accounts afterwards...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hyaenidae:
they cant be serious....I have 7 accounts (say nothing!) and not sure if laziness trumps curiosity :3
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Legion09:
lol, I hear ya...not quite 7 here...but close..(5..>.>...)..my curiosity always trumps laziness...lol
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] hyaenidae:
here's what I did, after I encountered the same issue:

erased everything from the app, uninstalled it, reinstalled it and suddenly I can choose from my (7) accounts

works perfectly fine
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] krohnjw:
The app was updated today to properly support multiple accounts (according to the release notes)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Legion09:
yup...just several hours too late for when I needed it..lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3laras:
I just bought the i9020A model Nexus S, and after research I found out that its meant to be used for ATT. I have T-Mobile and I am not getting 3G Network because the bands are different. Now people are telling me that if I unlock/root it, I might be able to get T-Mobile bands. Is this true? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Nope - it does not have the hardware to support the AWS HSPA frequencies. It has quad band GSM (So you'll get Edge service fine), but not HSPA.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3laras:
=[ ok so I shouldn't waste the time rooting/unlocking my phone then. I am getting Edge just fine but no 3G at all. I'm just going to but the T-Mobile version then and send this back.. Thanks for the reply :D

Theres alot of new droid tabs hitting the market soon so i would wait for a dual core with ffc and a nice manageable size to it. Thats my .02 tho
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
personally, i dont see any point on getting a tablet, because the smartphones now are

powerfull enough to do almost anything a tablet can do, and tablets arnt powerfull enough

to run, lets a say a full linux distro with gnome or kde (or windows 7) ,and they are not any more portable than a laptop really.especially the ones with large screens like ipad or xoom. and

i dont care how good the on screen keyboards are ,i still WANT a proper keyboard (thats why i got a desire z) you can also have a look at Lenovo thinkpads they are kind of like a laptop and

tablet merge togher and you will have proper device that can run any os you wish which also

comes with multitouch screen. but they are not cheap. so to sum up i think tablets are so underpower so locked down

and arnt any more portable than a laptop and you will end up with a java machine (android) or apple ios which is even worse ,instead of a proper OS. sorry about the long post guy.

tablets make me angry :mad:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Like the guy above, I wasn't sold on the idea of tablets until recently. It depends on what you use your smartphone and home computer for. But since having a baby recently, my wife and I have found ourselves at home more than before, and wanting to be able to do things like check email or lookup things on the internet without being stuck at a desk, or having a big laptop weighing you down while sitting on the couch. We found ourselves using our smartphones a lot, such as resting on the couch while the baby was sleeping. Which works just fine. But having a tablet gives you a much larger screen, which makes for more more pleasurable experience due to a larger screen to browse websites, watch video, etc. Its also makes the touch interface for many tasks much more usable. Using a tablet as an e-reader also makes much more sense than on a phone. Its closer to the experience of reading a "real" paper book, where you see a whole page, instead of just a fraction of one (forcing you to flip to the next screen really frequently).

Some people like to tote their tablets around everywhere. That isn't me, so far. I mostly use it at home. And when I'm at home, I use it more than either my smartphone or my desktop/laptop computers (although some people have been going this route). You probably would not find a tablet a suitable replacement for a desktop/laptop computer. As mentioned, they just aren't as powerful or versatile, and a more limited software selection. A tablet does what your smartphone does, just with a bigger screen. So if you find yourself using your smartphone and frequently wishing that you had a much larger screen, then a tablet might be fore you.

The tablet I have is the HTC Flyer, since I love the build quality of HTC's products. Its a 7" screen tablet, with Gingerbread (supposedly to be updated to HOneycomb "soon"). Not dual core, but its got a snappy 1.5 GHz single core Snapdragon. Its a great device, but HTC will also coming out with a 10" tablet later this year, so that one will be worth checking out, also. The ideal size for a tablet is a topic of much debate. The common tablet sizes now are 7" and 10", with the debate being primarily about having a larger screen versus the portability of a 7". Again, it mostly comes down to personal preference, and your intended usage.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
The posters above me have very valid points. I too would like a tablet simply because, as stated above, I find myself not wanting to lug around my laptop. I'm not doing anything that warrants using a laptop like writing long emails, gaming, etc. I'm mostly sitting on the couch or lying in bed playing around on XDA or reading blogs or the like. I don't need this giant thing sitting on my lap heating my junk and lowering my sperm count! I love it, but I would like something else for this purpose. That being said I would wait for at least the holiday season or next year to see what's coming out. There are some good ones on the way, but I'd like to see them either come down in price or when they do come out, seeing the current ones come down in price.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
Yeah everyone makes a good point here, if it a tablet had everything like sd card slot headphone jack etc plus a hardrive(or at least a port to connect an external hard drive) so you could say burn discs or download stuff that you couldn't on your phone and connect your phone to the tablet and transfer via usb. That'd be a nice tablet
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If you mean a CD/DVD burner/reader, that's an optical drive, not a hard drive. Which are starting to become pretty irrelevant. With online distribution of games and movies, I hardly ever find myself using my optical drive.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
oh **** hahah thats what I meant but I wasnt sure
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
@heybobitsme ,redpoint73

You both have valid points ,but firstly not all laptops are giant, i have a 13" laptop

which is pretty light and i use it when in front of tv as well ,and it doesnt heat up if

i am doing the tasks that you do on your tablets.I take it with me everywhere and it has a very good battery life but at the same time, i play Crysis 2 on it when i am on the train. could i do that with a tablet?

however i do get your point. what i dont like is some poeple keep saying

tablets are the way forward and you dont need a pc anymore. lets face it

none of the mobile OSs around are good . i use android on my phone because the only other

options are win7 or ios, well at least android is opensource (usually).

But yeah they are just giant phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
I don't see how they are useful or innovative at all, but that is largely dependent upon your needs as a user, and I do realize that there are situations where a tablet might come in more handy than a phone or laptop... I just don't think those few situations warrant toting around another $500+ device.

I have a company-provided iPad, my G2, a 15" laptop and a desktop... the iPad sees use maybe once every month. there are VERY few instances, for me, where a tablet has a specific advantage over one of my other devices that warrants busting it out... for instance:

-if I'm working on my car, it's nice to have the iPad laying around with a shop manual loaded... can't do that on my G2 because it's too small and I have to scroll too often. could do it on the laptop, but the touchscreen on the iPad is pretty slick for swiping through pages and whatnot.

-it's decent for taking notes in meetings/at school IF you have an external keyboard. I still don't think touchscreens are viable replacements for physical keyboards at this point if you're going to be typing a lot. even still, I prefer using my laptop for this.

and, on a side note, completely unrelated to the function of a tablet... how much of a tool do you look like walking around with a 10" glorified smartphone? I just think it's a silly fad that will die out. I mean, come on, I don't even have a usb port on my iPad... what good does that do me? :rolleyes:

for me to seriously consider purchasing a tablet, they would need:

-sd card reader

-full-size usb ports (at least 2); usb host [of course]

-better printing capability (I know there have been some strides made here, but it's still not seamless enough for it to be useful in a professional setting)

-a few other things would be nice, but the above are most important to me

also, a "sliding" tablet with a physical keyboard built in would be killer.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickyiswhite:
Yeah I hate when htc and such puts out really good phones with no physical keyboard....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Sure, not all laptops are giant, but they are still much bigger and heavier than tablets, especially 7" tablets. I can be laying in bed, or on the couch, and have my Flyer sitting on my chest, reading an e-book, web browsing, or whatever. But of course, that situation, if it even applies to you, may not be reason enough to buy an additional electronic device.

I don't look at the tablet as being a replacement for a desktop or laptop computer, but as an additional device. I love me some PC gaming, and I do that on my desktop PC. I have a work provided laptop also. All these different computer devices get used for different things.

As I mentioned before, it all depends on your personal preference, lifestyle, and how you use your devices. In your case, if you have a smartphone, and a smaller laptop, I can easily see how those satisfy all the situations you encounter in your life. But for those looking for a device to fill the gaps, a tablet can be just that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
You are absolutely right, using the tablet for the things you said make sense .

but in my case it would just make me mad .because i have this habit that i always have

10-15 applications and lots of tabs open in different work spaces, even when i am not doing anything special.

and the other thing is now all this new tablets are coming out with dual-core and more rams and everyone going crazy over them ,the problem is they dont bring new functionalities because the software on them are basically the same ,they just do the same thing a little

faster and smoother. the only points that i see in tables now are some of the things the things you mentioned and all them can be done on a cheap $100 tablet ,so now what is the point of very expensive tablets with dual-core?, i still wont be able to multi task properly with android,ios,etc (HPs web os looked a bit better though) id rather use the $500-600 on upgrading my laptop or desktop.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, I can see how a tablet is probably not for you. Desktop or laptop PCs will not be replaced by tablets anytime soon. You simply can't use a tablet to do things like composing long emails or other documents, playing higher powered games, and utilizing complex software (like in my case, AutoCAD). Basically, tablets are good for web browsing and consuming media via a touch interface, and using simple apps. And that's really about it.

Hi,

Does anyone have a stock nandroid backup for the nexus s from mobilicity? stock 2.3.3 GRI54. I want to return my phone to factory settings due to some complications with some of the roms. If anyone has one a nandroid backup or stock zip file, can you please send it this way!

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] m1k30rz:
SO I want to go from the stock 2.2 Android software to the "Virtuous Unity Sense"

My main reasoning for this is,

- I want HTC's gingerbread sense, but it's still not yet released with no word on when it will be.

- Why not upgrade to version 3 if I am going to run a custom rom :)

Now I have my phone setup EXACTLY how I like it, all the apps took a long time to find and configure, everything works flawlessly and does everything I want it to do.

I assume to upgrade to unity sense I will have to format the phone's memory, what is the best way to backup all the apps and their configurations without loosing any performance or causing problems for the apps?

Also if I one day wanted to load the official HTC 2.3 update is it possible to "un-do" everything and go back to official software?

cheers
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
The general concensus on backing up is titanium backup. If you are willing to pay for the premium version, it will also do multiple level backup of your apps + data and on restoration, offers a silent installer (ie no need to tap install and done for every app) and it also give suggestions on what to back up at the system level. Hope that helps
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesstrail:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it'll depend on what version of the HTC ROM you're using.

If it's 1.32, it shouldn't be an issue. root your phone, install titanium backup and let it work it's magic.

If you're using 1.74 (Froyo 2.2.1), in order to root your phone to flash a custom rom, you'll need to downgrade to 1.34 . This means you'll need to format it and flash the original HTC ROM, in which case all your apps would already be gone by the time you get root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] niai_mack:
i use QTADB its a program for the computer(Linux/Windows/OSX) will back up to you sdcard it works well and easy to use best of all its free(or though if you use it a lot you should donate)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Barton82:
I would assume he has the latest official 1.82 Froyo 2.2.1 ROM. At least this is what I have for many months now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
I see what you're saying, but you should be fine either way, because even in the downgrade process you have to obtain temproot prior to downgrading. so you obtain temp root, download tibu, create your backups, then continue the downgrade process.

once you're done with everything, download tibu again and restore backups. voila.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AreOh:
Titanium Backup > My Backup?
[G2 and Desire Z General] nonione:
yup, by miles
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Never used My Backup. Ti backup was perfect for my use the first time i used it so i had no need to try other backups
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I will throw another recommendation for Titanium Backup Pro. Worth the few $$ and its easy to use. Remember, don't backup the 'System Data' unless you plan to restore it to the SAME type of ROM (aka wipe and reinstall the same ROM to fix a problem). Just backup 'Apps + Data'. And restore them on the new ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chocohagelslagje:
Thanks for the tips in this thread, just thinking about rooting my phone. I already worked with titanium backup (free version) on my hero and that worked very well. But it has to be rooted and like pmcqueen said I can make the titanium backup before downgrading and after temproot :D Did not think of that yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] itm:
I've repeatedly had problems when switching ROMs and restoring an apps-only backup made using Titanium Backup Pro. For example, I was running CM7 and decided to try out Virtuous G-Lite to see if the battery life was any better. Shortly after I restored the apps (but NOT data or system data) I repeatedly got errors like "the application *** has stopped unexpectedly". For example, this time the app was Gallery - process.com.cooliris.media, but I've had the same problem with other apps.

Does anyone have a definitive, clean way of restoring apps after switching to a different ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] veritasaequita:
I always thought it was titanium backup also, and used it for a long time....I finally tried the app called mybackup pro and I'm standing firm that this is the best way to restore after switching roms with full wipe. Titanium is still good and has other great features but the mybackup is so good for full restores.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Titanium Backup is a definitive way. Your problem with the Gallery app (and similar apps) is that you're trying to restore an integrated ROM-level app to a new ROM. Don't restore apps like Gallery, Clock, etc. that already come with the new ROM, even if you restore without data. Its unnecessary, and can cause issues.

You also have to just keep in mind that not all apps play nice with every ROM. You're going to run into issues. and if you do, just restore to your nandroid backup that you made before restoring apps (you should always do this as a precaution) and deselect the app next time you restore.

Have you had issues with Titanium Backup? I use Titanium Backup frequently and have never had a single issue. Even doing dozens of full restores, restoring apps+data, and even restoring system data when wiping and reinstalling CM7 nightlies, all with no problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] itm:
Is there an easy way of distinguishing between ROM-level apps and others? I have a list of about 150 apps so picking out individual apps can be a bit of a chore!
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Same, I have over 100 apps to restore on a batch restore. Just gotta think smart about it. If you didn't install it from the market, then it probably came with the ROM... And things like Gallery and Clock are already in the ROM, so don't replace those.

Also, you should be running a ROM manager 'fix permissions' after batch restoring apps to fix any little problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] taob:
Apps that are stored in the "ROM" (i.e., in /system/app, which is normally mounted read-only) are shown in red in Titanium Backup. Apps that are installed by the user (i.e., in /data/app, which is mounted read-write) are shown in white. System settings are shown in green. You can use TB's filters to show only system apps or only user apps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] taob:
One major consideration is that Titanium Backup requires root. It will not run without root, even though some of the tasks it performs does not require root. MyBackup Pro will run without root, though it does not have all the features of TB. So if you are running a firmware release where you cannot even get temp root without first wiping the phone, you should use MyBackup Pro first. Or even if you can get temp root, you might feel safer having a backup first anyway.
