[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scythe01:
So I recently put Virtuous Unity on my unbranded Desire Z and now I'd like to go back to stock and unroot the phone.

Wiping the system with Clockwork Recovery and flashing my backup stock ROM created by ROM Manager.

After that I'd probably have to replace partitions 7 and 17 with the respective stock versions and finally make it S-ON only since the phone came unlocked anyway. Flashing the recovery image may come last.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that work and once the stock ROM is on there again it should be plain sailing. No?

EDIT: Before anyone mentions using the wiki unrooting guide, I'm probably missing something here but the the PC101IMG.zip files I can get from there may not be of any help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
I would say pc10img it back, then temp root with the included psneuter on the wiki and use gfree to turn s back on. All done.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scythe01:
Isn't there a potentially high chance that I might brick it if the wrong PC101 is used though?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scythe01:
Finally managed to unroot it, temp root just wasn't doing it for some reason so instead of running around in circles I tried this.

Involved

1. Re-flashing the Stock ROM provided in this guide.

2. Following the WHOLE guide linked above.

3. To make it S-ON again we do this:

adb shell
/data/local/tmp/gfree -s on
exit
adb reboot bootloader

Should now say 'S-ON' at the top of the bootloader.

4. (Optional)

Covering up the evidence with one last flash.

The CID still shows up as "super CID" when I run 'fastboot oem boot' via ADB, but its the next best thing if you want to squeeze a free warranty repair out of HTC. :P

Did you do any kind of data restore after updating to gingerbread? Have you tried clearing data and cache on titanium to see if it clears the force close?

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] parter28:
No I don't think they are. However, there are 2 other themes very similar with different apps. I belive one has a cool charging icon, and you can choose Gmail, or Music player.

I'm more interested in knowing if you can somehow port this over to a non MIUI Rom. The browser is very slow/stuttery on Gingerbread, so I can't use the Rom.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] calebv2:
My internet is never slow gingethread I think its just you
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] parter28:
Are you sure? I feel that while I scroll it can get pretty stuttery. On froyo, when I'm using Dolphin Mini it's buttery smooth. It's even smooth whith flash.

I noticed that with the leaked Gingerbread, and with MIUI scrolling on the browser was slow.
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
I recorded a 1-hour 35-minute mountain bike ride this afternoon (101.5 degrees btw, DFW mid-cities area) while listening to tunes on PowerAMP the whole time, and went from 95% battery to 86% during that time. Airplane mode was enabled.

That's only 9% battery over more than an hour and a half ... that equates to nearly 18 hours of battery life while recording a GPS track and listening to tunes the entire time! :cool: I doubt any other phone could brag about even half of that!

I attribute that battery life to both the low-power GPS module AND the low-power audio module on the SoC in this bad boy.

I've only drained the battery once and fully charged again before today. I even expect the battery to get slightly better as the system calibrates itself over the next few charge/drain cycles.

Kirk out!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
hello,

This is a question for android experts :

I'd like (very much) to know where Android puts the informations about app respawn mode.

In Unix/linux it's in /etc/inittab ... but in Android ?

The main app is boring me is MAPS ! It doesn't start at boot neither on connectivity change or whatever because I'm using Autostarts to block it. But when I launch it, use it and kill it ... it appears again and again, using a significant part of the galaxy 3 small ram ... :mad:

So, Maps (and others app too) is configured as a respawn app and I'd like to change this ... it's irritating me ! :D

i've been googling this and didn't find anything about android's respawn functionality.

thanks !

[EDIT: Long tap on Maps in Android Task Manager offer the possibility to open the InstallerManager. Tap on "Force stop" in the InstallerManager stops Maps and it doesn't restarts ... so, perhaps it's not a question of respawn mode ... ] -- This solution is not easy, I'd like to know how this works !
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mpbm23:
Android uses Intents.

If an app or service calls the Intent getLocation it opens maps
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Thanks for this info !

But when this appens I'm running with very few services and no apps and with no connectivity available ... so which service/app is asking for my position and why ? In "settings" the option "get my position by carrier" is set ... it can be that ... I'm going to investigate a little bit more ...

Also, if it works this way, why Maps doesn't restarts after taping "force close" in the InstallerManager ? This means some information is set somewhere to tell the system that Maps is no more available for automatic start (If I tap on maps it starts) ... Strange stuff !

[EDIT : Settings.apk is calling maps: if I run maps then unselect "get my locatin by carrier" and kill maps it doesn't restarts ! But so, is there a way to tell the system "Starts Maps only when I tap on it ??? And one more strange thing : all my maps autostarts events list are off (using autostarts and gemini app manager) : so, why it restarts after getting started once time and do not starts at logon (Settings is running at logon) ?? ]

Pfff ... not easy to understand ...:D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] (•.•):
yeah, that would be interesting where to find this settings.

But in other cases freeze the app with tb and/or use a program specific taskkiller.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] sambastrakan:
Today I launch maps ... "use carrier for location" was disable in Settings ... and maps respawn after killing it ...

Grrrrrr .... :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
Well since both the G2x and the Optimus 2X suffer from reboots, we can only assume that it is hardware and not software. The LCD panel is generally crap, the phone randomly freezes for multiple seconds...

And its sad that an overclocked Nook Color gets better benches than our G2x's.

My Sensation should be here today (Tuesday) or Wednesday at the latest... We'll see how it performs... You know there is something wrong with a high end phone when you call T-Mobile retention and tell them your phone is rebooting and they say it must be a G2x and immediately ask what other model you would like to replace it with...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
oh man, and i was getting all excited about this being a sensation thread! you suck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Ok, not wanting you to suffer any more than necessary....I reached over and grabbed my Sensation off the nightstand. I do have both. After reading all the hype, again, about the Sensation, I put my sim back in...fired that baby up.

I started reading comparisons about how great the qHD screen is. Processing speed....how you can play, almost every game. How internet was great...blazing speed, etc...

Ok....I really need to give this another shot...after all, I paid for it.

So...turned it on....No Wifi....reboot...No Wifi and no bars...hmmm...checking to make sure I removed the cone of silence....switched over to the LG....no wifi...duh...its off...but...2 bars 4g. Ok..maybe I'm holding it wrong...you know..Death Grip...so I grab a pencial and hold the the LG with just a pencil...4g 2 bars....Sensation....0 bars.

I'm sorry...how can I run a comparison when I can't get reception where I need it to get reception?

Ohhh...the sun just came out...so I ran over to the window and compared the screens in the sun....they're right...the Sensation is more viewable in direct sunlight....guess what I saw....nothing...0bars..no reception. Took my LG, made a half turn to my left...and read up in the Sensation forum about how great this phone is.

Test aborted....0 bars...back to the night stand. Its holding down my past due bills....

So, with seemingly so many people who had a love/hate relationship with Asus, I think we should start a support group.

This sucks!

I've rooted and circumvented Sprints Hotspots service for a year now.

Not sure if that's the way to go for me anymore.

This Verizon news really makes me appreciate Sprint's unlimited data scheme now.

But..they are cracking down on data abusers now...tracking big users and even sites visited indicating hacked tethering use and roaming totals...dropping people with excessive data use.

Concerned they'll end up saying screw it and implement data caps.

I value unlimited Sprint plans enough that, out of principle I'm considering just forking over the monthly $...perhaps getting on a favored list lol!
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
u wiggin on us dood?
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Doesn't matter, those who have unlimited will probably be grandfathered into unlimited data.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
no kidding. I checked and will clear 20 gigs this month...lol
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
More importantly, they're still (as of radio ad yesterday) using unlimited data as a selling point for their phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
Lol...maybe! But I have a couple buds who moved to ATT, and I tried a phone out there myself....and that 2G cap is ridiculous! Seriously.
[HTC EVO 3D] RaphB:
I guess the issue is whether you use the tethering abusively or not... I use it to provide wifi to my tablet on the road (it is used in lieu of the phone) and in the car when my kids are in the back with their notebook (once in a while). Overall my usage is consistent with a my phone usage as ...

As far as limiting it the bandwidth, they already are doing it by reducing your connection speed. Less Speed = less debit = less sharing!

So far...
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Its going to happen eventually regardless.
[HTC EVO 3D] napalm5479:
The fact that they don't limit or even slow you down when you reach 5 gigs of services is why I switched back to sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
You sure about that. I've heard varying takes on that.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
It's going to happen cause people are greedy and are gonna continue to do it whether we like it or not. Sprint will eventually make us pay for the tiered data plans, its going to happen. I hate thinking bad ****, but this is one of those things that I really think is inevitable.
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
The few screwing it up for the rest of us...go figure.
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
I won't say it'll never happen.. But, the unlimited data is one of the few perks that brings in/keeps customers for Sprint. I haven't been treated badly by Sprint, but I've got no reason to remain loyal for loyalty's sake.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
I doubt they will. Over time most data will become wireless anyway. Once all is on 4G or LTE, it won't matter the bandwidth as much. Sprint already charges more for premium data anyway. Not to mention their voice coverage sucks and the unlimited plan is what helps them keep customers. I would switch to Verizon as soon as Sprint says the unlimited plan is changing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flash473:
I Don't know alot about it but is there really a differance between using Pandora,Netflix,dishnetwork,ect..... on my tethered gtablet compared to directly on my phone. Not sure......But it does enables me and my kids to enjoy this entertanment in the car without totaly tieing up my phone....Thats just my opion :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
100% agree on all fronts.

Their CS is fantastic, bar none...but without truly unlimited data I no longer give a **** about that. If I have to pick between the big 3.....AT&T would have the fastest 3G and most pervasive 4G...Verizon would have the best "all around" pricing and fastest 4G and Sprint would have....what? The worst coverage AND crappy plans but pleasant customer service? No thanks. I'll take verizon.

...I hate AT&T with a passion. I have them for home internet service. I have never in my life been treated so poorly by a service I pay for....paying a bill over the phone or online is a gigantic pain in the ass...and I have never ever had a service shut off for paying a service IN FULL, EARLY until I had the modern-day incarnation of AT&T....and I am far from alone on that.

This is Sprint's ace in the hole...well, that and Google recently buddying up with them....but...lacking unlimited data they have no compelling reason to stick around.
[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
As far as data usage, not really. However, it increases the potential for additional/more data usage as you might not of loaded it on your phone if that was the only option.

Personally, any reasonable usage is fine. Big difference between checking email on a tethered laptop.. and torrenting.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
This pretty much describes my tethering usage, except the kids part.

I like the leaked plans from AT&T for their LTE pricing. This is based off of what Lulsec stole today, but apparently AT&T is going to go with speed tiers when their LTE is released instead of bandwidth caps, you just pay for how fast you want your internet. To me that makes more sense.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Yeah, umm, unless that torrent download is an absolute emergency (and I actually have been in that situation before...on the road at a trade show....needed a kinda huge file I had hosted at home....) you are just torrenting tethered off your phone to show off...even 4G sucks relative to even a basic cable-modem connection.....
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I think the people who use 10+gb a month tethering illegally should take a step back and think about what they're doing. Just pay the price every month to tether the right way. Because once you guys really piss Sprint off, that 20gb you use every month is going to cost a fortune thanks to the tiered data policy they will enact. Then you'll be paying MORE than you would have if you had paid for the tethering.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
I honestly wonder why sprint even bothers to fight the ATT TM merger.

I can't see it as anything bad for them

cheapest prices, unlimited data, customer service has recovered

LTE rolling out in the next couple years.

all sprint has to do is bump up there coverage a bit and hurry up and roll out 4G and they can have a solid choke on the market, most of the reason TM even stayed alive is because of its broke arse customers, I can promise they will look for something cheaper....oh and of course, keep data unlimited.

(I've sold for all carriers so don't take me as a fanboi to anyone) I just know the clientele at least for my area...and a few others.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
Where's you get this?. I agree. Appreciate a link.
