Bingo.. agreed 100%

Coming from HTC devices like the 8525, ATT Tilt, and Touch Pro 2, Ive just about had my share of ROMs for a lifetime. I just want something that works. After paying all this money, Im gonna let Verizon and HTC do what they're supposed to do.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I agree with wanting an official update, but the stock rom is far from good. Yes the speed is good but the battery life is horrible. With custom roms I have been able to triple my battery life and limit the random reboots I was getting stock, along with the already good speed being improved. Das BAMF Stripped 1.8
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
agreed. So far only 1 reboot in 2 weeks (apparently that is good) and I get occasional instances where home button doesn't want to work.

I just wish the damn thing rebooted faster. It takes almost 2 minutes to boot, then another couple of minutes before sense is responsive.

Coming from the hd7 and 25 second boot times, this is killer...

I also made/used custom roms on my q9c, tp2 and hd2, but want to give stock a chance. Maybe I will root if I decide I need to tether, but so far, things are looking good stock.
[Thunderbolt General] crazyhtown:
Pushed to mid July

Lol enjoy stock
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
alot of us are. thanks for your concern.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
But I read it on the internet, so that has to make it true.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
mr2.5 is treating me well and ive had zero reboots. i can wait a bit for the new radio.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
#1 how do you know it's been pushed back?

#2 i think most on here and happily enjoying gingerbread but thanks for the concern. :rolleyes:
[Thunderbolt General] tcsfinest:
Some documents state we will be getting a removal of free mobile hotspot via ota July 6th . Maybe it will be attached to the update .
[Thunderbolt General] DoctorZaius68:
Both the MR2 and the MR2.5 have been a good temporary fix for me, until a new radio is released.
[Thunderbolt General] jcase:
"mr2" we leaked on the forums is NOT mr2. 1.66/1.67/1.68/1.69 will not be MR2.

I can confirm OP's comments on the current "mr2" candidate version number, and give a approximate release of july 6th. With verizon things are given to change, the release date can change, so can the version being released.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
His comment was pretty blunt/unhelpful and rude, but there does tend to be some complaining from those that want to have their cake (those that don't want to root) and eat it too (still want updates/workarounds as quick as those that have root).

Those that seem to be frustrated by such things, perhaps android is not the phone for them or at least android phones that are not officially blessed by google (nexus phones).
[Thunderbolt General] :
And you spend time on the XDA ***Developer *** site for what reason????
[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
I'll say this once...

MR2 will come when its ready. We can all speculate on when its coming from dawn til dusk but the fact is that its not officially out. Yes we got a leak version of MR2 and that may or may not be the final version. If you want to root and use the leak radios, RUUs, and the nice ROMs/kernels that the developers have put tons of effort into then awesome sauce. If you decide to stick with stock Froyo Sense 2.0 and not to root then awesome sauce.

BUT STOP FIGHTING OVER IT. ITS A PERSONAL CHOICE TO ROOT OR NOT. NO MORE NO LESS. NOW STOP THE FIGHTING AND BRO HUG AND DRINK SOME BEERS DAMN IT!!!!

;)
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
XDA is an odd "developer's forum." It's one of the few forums or discussion sites focused on programming/development, but yet only a small minority on the site are actually interested or know how to develop. I guess that's just due to the nature of the end device of said development (mobile devices), but it's still an oddity. Renaming it XDA technical support forum would probably be a more generalized description of it.
[Thunderbolt General] animez:
The short answer would be "none of your damn business" or "what's it matter to you?".

The real answer would be that I've been coming to XDA since my WinMo days. Sure most people come to XDA for roms and rooting, but it's also a good source for general device info.

I come for many different reasons, rooting the TBolt just isn't one of them yet. I'm sure I will down the road, but right now the device works great and does everything I need without root (other than screenshots). I'm patient enough to wait for the official GB. Just not worth it right now to me, I know myself, once I open that box I will be tweaking and flashing all the time. Right now I just want to use the thing without random bugs driving me up the wall.

[Thunderbolt General] TheLoonyRebel:
Hehehe... I'm pretty calm. My previous post was meant for laughs so if it seemed like I'm angry I do apologize for that.
[Thunderbolt General] djones680:
I agree as well. I rooted an am running Das BAMF 1.8.6. No reboots and great battery life. You won't get that with stock.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
so "developer" only means custom ROMs now? Not app developing?
[Thunderbolt General] stanlalee:
I love it how people automatically dismiss the information as wrong or a rumor without having ANY clue who or what the OP status with verizon/HTC is. Guys where do you think all these thunderbolt leaks, ruu's, software comes from, out the sky. You dont have GB and all these radio's because nobody knows anything. There are people here who know more than you and what they are talking about. Just because they cant give you a connection/source doesn't mean it aint so and just because verizon does what it always does...push things back doesn't mean that wasn't the plan at the time.
[Thunderbolt General] agdaniels:
Im going to second that, we have people here with very good information/insight on whats coming our way, but all most people in this thread care about is bickering about their rom. Lets focus people...

Thank you to the op and those of you that stopped in to give us more mr2 info.
[Thunderbolt General] patches152:
i was told last night that the testing cycle for this build ends today, and it will be put up on the servers by this weekend, barring failure of the build (which at this point i don't see happening).

the testing cycle was only a week due to the fact that they're testing builds with small changes from the previous ones, implying that there were only a few bugs that caused them to fail. at this point the core functions and stability are no longer in question.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
I believe patches.

The OP, I do not. So, believe what you will.
[Thunderbolt General] patches152:
Just passed, should be on the servers for download by tonight.
[Thunderbolt General] RockyCJC:
People may know this and not care but it is just information. Bamf has been using MR2 since late may (perhaps early June, not sure) with their GB ROM (Bamf 2.0 and later). Bamf 2.0.5 is the most stable I used with Sense 2. I am on Bamf 3.0 now running MR2 and Sense 3 and now that I found a Sirius XM app fix (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153055&page=98) I am elated.
[Thunderbolt General] Schedonnardus:
thanks for the update patches!! I'm currently running the leaked MR2 from a month ago with no problems. Since I am unrooted, will my phone be able to load the update? Either way, I plan on letting the devs get a crack at it before i make any changes, since my phone has been working great on the leaked MR2 this past month.
[Thunderbolt General] dcjamies:
I've been running the leaked MR2, as well. VERY stable. I'm still having radio issues (dropping 3G/1X), though. The only real problem I've found with the leaked MR2 is the the market doesn't recognize my phone, so not all apps are "compatible" with it, including some of my purchased apps.

Like Schedonnardus asked, will I be able to accept this update? Will it fix my market issue? I have not rooted yet, but am getting very close to doing so. I just happen to like the stock ROM. (Although, I do miss the many of the tweaks I had when I was running CM on my Eris.)
[Thunderbolt General] sithdroid2187:
Hope your right patches, I am looking forward to an actual update for the devs to work on.
[Thunderbolt General] EVO'D_OUT:
so patches you are saying the OTA will be avail for OTA DL tonight??
[Thunderbolt General] akanatrix:
Hopefully.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Gosh... I guess I feel a need to point out the obvious because some folks basically show up to the supermarket and exclaim to people the week old bananas are almost there while standing right next to the ripe bananas and peaches and apples. Then there's the folks that show up to this great little supermarket and complain how they're not happy with what they got from Walmart, but defend their choice in the very next breath. 2 things strike me as stupid; complaining about your stock ROM on XDA, and defending your choice claiming you want something solid and reliable, suggesting custom ROMs aren't that. I can promise anyone without any doubt that there are plenty of rock-solid MR2 custom ROMs out there and I've used myself. Rooting your phone isn't that big a deal. Neither is picking a ROM. It's not like my tattoos; a choice I love and live with everyday for the rest of my life.
[Thunderbolt General] BrainfartEris:
The last day or so I have checked for update and the popup window just goes away and I don't even get a "no available update" popup window. Is this normal? I have done a manual reboot and still get the same result.
[Thunderbolt General] cmhfdisker:
I will echo what others have said. I've been running the leaked MR2 (in the form of PlainJane v3) and have had ZERO problems. Battery life is much improved and I don't have 3G/4G/Wifi transition problems. The MR2 radio just works. In short, everything is working and to honest I'm a little hesitant to touch the phone now because it feels so right in its current state.

That being said I happen to be obsessed with tinkering and fixing things that aren't broke. How long before a rooted version of the upcoming official MR2 is available? Would you anticipate the rooted version being available within days of the official release .... or perhaps before the official release ;)

anybody else excited for a camera-wake mod? hopefully we get root soon. and hopefully a fine xda dev will put something together for us.
[HTC EVO 3D] hshshawn:
I was thinking about that too would be real nice but I would hate to lose the ability to launch the camera w it. So if its possible to wake device and still be able to launch camera once in I'm all for it
[HTC EVO 3D] polo79:
well on the original evo i believe they had the ability to use the volume keys to wake and still retain the ability to change the volume as well so hopefully its possible. also, i was just thinking, the camera button has multiple stages. there is a slight press and a full press that could be tinkered with.

Anyone found a good place to find wallpapers of the correct size?
[HTC EVO 3D] tweston1:
I haven't found a site that has the wallpapers tailor made to our resolution but, interfacelift.com has enough resolution options to satisfy me. I love their wallpapers. They have a lot of photography content, which is beautiful stuff.

Check it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
the resolution for the screen is 540x960 right?
[HTC EVO 3D] tweston1:
Yes but that isn't too important because you can crop a selected area. I pick the higher res Android tablet ones and just scale it to fit. Don't worry so much about the resolution because it doesn't mean squat. Pick a higher resolution, set as background, crop the area when it asks, done.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PyBro:
Hi. I was following this guide here wiki.cyanogenmod.<(SPACE)>com/wiki/Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide

(REMOVE <(SPACE)>)

I chose to install the 'update' to internal memory. Upon rebooting while holding the volume up and power buttons, "booting recovery kernel image" is seen but it doesn't progress beyond that point. After pressing the power button the tablet boots normally. I am stuck at Step 3 of the 2nd Method in the guide I had posted. I read somewhere that ROM Manager softbricks the device or something so I avoided it. How can I finish installing Cyanongen or perhaps switch to vegan? I would appreciate any responses

Err. Tap UI says 1.2-4349.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxxve:
I'm having the exact same problem. Just got the tablet and starting from the beginning with CWM. I've tried internalsd, externalsd and nvflash and all three methods result in the same thing. Stuck on the booting recovery kernal image.

I may nvflash the stock recovery and try it again.

EDIT: Go here: http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/nvflash.htm

Follow the instructions to download the stock rom with CWM pre-installed. This did the trick for me! Hope it helps.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
This means your on bootloader 1.2. Cm7 is made around bl 1.1 so it wont install correctly. You can install a modified version of cm7 that was packaged to run on bl 1.2. There is a thread in development by zyhong that has links to the modified cm7.

Here is the thread :-)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123836

There are 2 options for kernels. The roms on the linked thread come pre packaged with either pershoots or clemsyns 1.2 compatible kernel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PyBro:
Okay, thanks. I followed this completely without any errors...how do I know if Cyanogen is installed? Everything looks the same, has the same settings, nothing was wiped (same apps in same places and still have flash). Nothing says cyanogen in the settings. Thanks!

Also, if you'll read the above post, how do I know if I'm on Cyanogen? I followed your guide but everything looks the same :(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
You can't uninstall it. And no you didn't follow my guide. The fact that you put in the wrong cwm says this.

Go to my start here page and impliment code yellow. Make sure you look ahead at the rom page to know which rom you want and what branch its on.

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend the best books/reading materials for Android Development? I've always wanted to have this as a hobby but have no clue where to begin.

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] abats:
Kind of depends on what your background on programming is, to see what you could start with.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Apress Pro Android 3 might be a good choice if you already know the basics, otherwise just follow the online tutorials you're provided with when you install the SDK. Those tutorials are good enough to get you on your feet.
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
The market has some excellent books from O'Reilly that're only 3-5 dollars and have NO DRM, you can export to epub and use on any device you have. Pick up a few of them if you want. For that price and being that open I couldn't resist.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
What market?

EDIT: Nvm, took me a while to find them on Android Market. Such a mess that place is, ugh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devilicus:
Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my Evo for the past couple of weeks that doesn't seem to change no matter which ROM I'm running. Basically what happens is when I'm on a long phone call, as soon as the call timer hits the 30:00 minute mark then the conversation cuts out and all I hear is the busy signal tone and have to hang up the call. I've tried wiping and reflashing and it hasn't changed; it literally happens every time I'm on a call for thirty minutes. For the past few weeks I've been running MikGinger 2.0/2.1 and today changed to Synergy RC1 to see if it corrected the issue but it didn't. I've always done full wipes between ROMs so I'm kind of at a loss. I'm on PRI 2.15 and PRL 60679 if that makes any difference. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devilicus:
Can anyone help me out with this problem? I've searched all over this forum, the General forum, and all over Google. The only things I can think of is that its a Sprint+GV integration problem (not likely since I've been using it for months with no problem) or a PRI/radio issue. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
Maybe your phones trying to tell you to shut up haha jk but if its every rom then maybe android was made to do that? I personally haven't experienced this because i don't talk on the phone for more than like 1 min at a time haha ill test it and get back to you sometime later in the day.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
I recently switched from iphone to android. I'm cool with the slider and the code but doing it every time I want to use the phone has become somewhat tedious.

On my iphone i had the option where I was prompted for the code after 4 hours of inactivity. I don't see that option on my arc. Is there a way i can make it happen or at the very least remove the slider lock screen so i don't have to slide and unlock everey single time?

I have an Xperia arc. Unlocked, rooted.

Thanx
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulskinner:
No ideas?

Damn, I really hope there's a solution to that crap soon....

Cheers!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depulle87:
What code do you mean, you only have to slide unless you changed the settings
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] depulle87:
In that case, loosely translated :

- settings :eek:

- location and security

- Change screen lock

- set to none

- done

you can not change the time it just askes you everytime when enabled,however you can use screen patern this is faster then enterng a code you have to slide in a certain patern of your own choise to unlock
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
Thanx 87 I already use the pattern lock. I just hate doing it every single time.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cholerabob:
Euuhhh im from an iPhone too and had to do it every time, just like the Arc.... What you are probably talking about ( trying to guess here ) is the time out period of the screen , 30 minutes is the max
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
Well Actually on the iphone you had the option to prompt for code everytime but also after set amounts of time like half hour, hour, 4 hours, 12 and 24 hours. I chose 4 hours so basically i entered the code every morning when I woke up. I guess you missed that option.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cholerabob:
Then what's the point ? Isn't the code a security function ? Not quite following the logic here.....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
problem solved

Problem solved I got the new sgs2. It goes directly to the lock pattern screen without a slider screen.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zzzooommm:
sgs2 = Samsung Galaxy S2 or is this an app or setting to disable Slide Lock on your Arc?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
is it possible you accidentally changed some camera settings or camera mode?

Try going to the camera settings menu (bottom left corner of the camera app), scroll that menu all the way out, and pick "reset". This will reset your camera to factory settings. See if the problem still persists.

Or it could be too dark, and auto mode cannot focus. you need to engage night mode. but first try setting reset above.
