[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] whitest0rm:
when installing the rom did you do a factory reset?

if you did then try installing a different rom maybe that will work?

if none of them work try using cwm (ClockWorkMod)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sfex3best:
Yeh it worked with a factory reset Thanks guys.

Btw can this phone download the latest flash player?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Connor1:
My phone was working just fine when I went to bed, then I woke up and my phone doesn't want to turn on. When it's plugged in, the LED blinks orange every two-2.5 seconds, no screen flash when trying to turn the phone on or anything. I've cleaned the contacts on the battery, removed it, and reseated it. The phone was plugged into a wall charger all night. Any ideas?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Stuke00:
I got that once when my battery was completely dead. Leaving it plugged in for a few minutes caused the orange light to go solid. Doesn't hurt to take it up to sprint and have them check out the battery.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Connor1:
The problem fixed itself, thanks for the help though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricNotpc:
Solved. Mod please close.

Thanks for the help....

Just got a new Thunderbolt. Rooted. When I wipe Dalvik cache I get a line that says E: invalid directory or file. Is there something I need to do to my internal storage or sdcard first before downloading a new rom, wiping data cache dalvik and then flashing? Recovery doesn't seem to be wiping dalvik cache. Any help is apreciated. Thanks.

Hey! Let me tell you something.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreemanB:
Did you delete the cache partition first? I believe the dalvik cache is often stored there, so if you wipe the partition first, you'll get an error if you attempt to wipe the cache afterwards. Either way, if it isn't there, it shouldn't cause a problem with a new ROM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricNotpc:
I found a file named cache, it had 2 files. One was called download.apk, the other was Recovery.txt. The Recovery.txt file was just a log of my last flash. The download.apk would not open. It was 1kb. In the data dir. there is a David cache file. It has all the data from the user apps. I deleted the cache file but still got the error, then deleted both, and still the same. After reboot, both files were there with the same info. Should I re-root, format sdcard with a ext-3 partition then update to a GB Rom? Thanks

Hey, the Ol' Lady stole my T-bolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsonhistb:
It always says that, for me at least. You have to do two clicks in Recovery for it to work, if you know what I mean. After I click "Clear Dalvik Cache" the first time, I get that "error" and a list of more options, one being Wipe Dalvik Cache, and the other 13 being the same. I click Wipe Dalvik Cache, and the feed at the bottom says Dalvik Cache cleared.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidTh3ory:
That is when.it looks for a EXT partition. If one was not create it will say that. :)

It is typically used for Apps2SD and by having them on the SD there would be a dalvik directory.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EricNotpc:
Solved. Mod please close.

Thanks everyone...

[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
This is my first thread as an OP, and ironically probably my last in the HeroC forums.. I converted over to the 3vo yesterday (and yes the rumors are true, it is amazing), so this is somewhat of a farewell thread but also one last testament to how awesome this little hero is..

i was on vacation last week with my wife's family in the mountains of Tennessee, we get a cabin there every year.. but everybody in the family has a smart phones, there are 2 brand new windows phones on AT&T and the rest are sprint, 2 evos a nexus s, and a random asortment of other phones.. but they all have looked at the hero with disdain, because most had the hero stock (which we all know sucked balls), and only 2 of them actually let me root it, but wouldnt let me optimize it at all.. but they all looked at my little hero like it was a piece of trash, because they had all moved on to "better" phones.. but on to the point, up in this mountain there was hardly a cell signal, the AT&T phones had zero signal, and the others were hit and miss.. but, my hero had signal the whole time.. not only did it have signal, but i wireless tethered to the laptops so we could get on the internet.. so while their condescending "awesome" phones sat lifeless on their night stands, my hero reigned supreme and gave life to their devices..

i know that didnt really have a lot to do with anything, but thought i would throw it out there, this phone despite being left to die by sprint and HTC, continues to conquer where other phones fail.. my hero shall sit in a glass case as it watches over its android kingdom..

and many thanks to all of the people that have helped me around here, and hopefully i have returned the favor at some point.. i will still be floating around here especially until the 3vo forums settle down a bit.. but raise a glass to our hero, heres to the greatest of the phones that was never meant to be great..

[Hero CDMA General] hockeyfamily737:
Well said!!!....Not only did my Hero serve me well for 16 months in the face of all those who scoffed. It's now been put into service teaching my 11 year old the ways of Android.
[Hero CDMA General] cmason1015:
It's amazing how many people revere their Heros. It's just like your first love. I went through the Palm Pilot thing, and this really reminds me of that. People posted about upgrading, but talked about the respect and admiration they had for their first device.

Good luck to you in 3vo land, sounds like that community is really getting going.
[Hero CDMA General] Riff76:
Amen to that! If there ever is a Hero2, I will get it!
[Hero CDMA General] ickwonder:
A great little beast the HERO is...I still got this bad boy for another week but this week will be its finest...
[Hero CDMA General] the kid escobar:
I've been browsing these boards tonight as I have been rooting and flashing my sister's Hero. This phone and its community is a spitting image of the Eris I had. I really am glad to see a diamond in the rough across all carriers to spread the Android love. Sorry to stray off topic, but I know all about having a great community driven phone, and I will never forget my Eris.
[Hero CDMA General] guitardoc64:
I enjoyd mine. I rooted almost immediately when I got it last year and learned the Android trades of hack and mod. It was a great introduction to Android OS and a solid little phone. Now that I have the 3VO, I somewhat miss it for things like the jogball, root, custom ROMs. I sold it to a coworker so I still have visitation,lol.
[Hero CDMA General] pstevep:
my wife and i both had heros and she moved on to an evo a while back, and wanted nothing to do with her hero, so i traded it in, and kept mine so it can have a nice retirement.. if i get bored with the 3d or aosp posts something amazing, i will take him down and give him a fresh flash to keep him up to date.. it is most deff one of the best devices to learn stuff on, there wasnt anything that i couldnt do to that phone.. times that i swore it was bricked and then 15 minutes later he was pumping again.. :tear:
[Hero CDMA General] KyleBryant:
I've had mine for about a year, and I plan to have him for maybe another year... or maybe more, depends I really love this little thing.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] C4NCER:
you need to copy the file as root, which means your file manager should have asked for permission. if you cant get it to work you can just fire up a terminal on your phone and run the following commands

su

cp <path to bootanimation you want to use> /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Lesicnik1:
Or via ADB

(Place the bootanimation.zip to where you have adb)

Open up command prompt

cd (location of your adb)

adb shell

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3

# chmod 777 /system

exit

adb push bootanimation.zip data/local

[Liquid S100 Android Development] SpL3rG3:
Hello all,

I actually have an Acer S120 but I figured I would give it a try anyway as it seems to be an Android issue rather than device specific. I recently tried to update my phone to 2.3.4 using Gingerounay 2.0 (made by Vache over at MoDaCo). Anyway it seems that after flashing, I am no longer able to download apps from the market, which is caused by my Cache folder "thinking" it is 100% full. I have tried to clear this folder through recovery, through fastboot, adb & through ES File explorer on the phone itself but i'm not getting any results. The only folder/file that is showing up is the lost+found folder but there are no files within this directory. I am able to successfully clear out the lost+found directory but still my cache reflects 100% usage.

I am really not sure what to do at this point and I'm hoping someone here has some ideas to help me out.

Thanks in advance.
[Liquid S100 Android Development] hellbringer82:
Are you sure the access rights are correct?

The folder should be r/w and have rwxrwx--- (or 770) new files created there should have access: rw-rw-rw (or 666) or at least; that is the behavior on my Acer Liquid E (Android 2.2)
[Liquid S100 Android Development] SpL3rG3:
Thanks for the reply. I have already sent my phone back for service and they ended up replacing the entire board. I tried everything to clear it and apparently it was a H/W issue...hopefully no one else runs into the same problem.

Oddly enough; only problem I had due to the full/corrupted cache was that I couldn't download apps from the market. I was able to install from my SD card though.
[Liquid S100 Android Development] SpL3rG3:
FYI for this thread. If anyone else experiences this problem; its a hardware problem. My phone was sent back to Acer and they had to replace the board to fix the issue. Hopefully no one else encounters this!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haloman800:
I have a few questions about the GTab:

1. Does it have an accelerometer?

2. Does it have GPS?

3. Does the HDMI out mirror the device & screen?

4. Can you plug a flash drive in the USB port?

5. Do you have to buy a specific keyboard for this, or which ones will work?

6. Are there any keyboard docks, or cases with kickstands?

7. If you flash a Honeycomb ROM, do Tablet-specific apps work?

Thank you!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haloman800:
Thank you! I have a couple more;

1. Does Skype or Netflix work on this?

2. How much RAM does it have?

3. Does it have a dual-core processor?

4. Would you recommend this tablet? I've never owned one before, but this one looks good.

And lastly; what do you use your tablet for the most?

Thank you so much!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
1. Yes audio, no video. Currently, there is no skype video support for android. Spend $800 on a xoom and you still wouldn't have skype video.

2. 512 mb.

3. Dual 1.0 ghz. I've been OCing it to dual 1.2 ghz.

4. I recommend an ipad for new users and whiners.

5. Hand written notes, surfing net, drawing sketches (engineering), email, reading papers and books, etc.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
As far as recommendation goes...

The gtab is a fixer-upper. You'll save some money, but you have to put in time and know-how before it can be a daily driver. If you like to tinker and modify your gadgets then this is a great tablet. However if you want a great out of the box experience then an iPad or newer Honeycomb based android tablet would be your best bet.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joehunni:
Factory reset the phone. If you're referring to the data under the ##data# menu, I don't think that stuff will change until its activated on another account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You may have to get the phone deactivated, because it may still be registered to you. You can delete all the data on it, but like if you call it, it'll still have your account registered to it; so do that, and if your friend has sprint, they'd have to add that phone to their line.

so my 1o digit phone number will be there and my *********@sprintpcs will be there until he activates it on his account? whats the risk in that?

and i cant get into any *#*#menus#*#* with it now. it has the latest rooted stock rom on it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
Once again, you have to deactivate it from your account for that information to go away. You have to call Sprint and remove it from account. They will send the necessary provisioning information to the phone to remove the information.

If I am wrong, please let me know but this is what I had to do for my last two phones when I sold them on Craigslist.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frcollier:
Get the MSL reader out the market. ##RTN# (786)(ReTurN) enter msl. Select reset, and youre done. Don't turn phone back on or it'll reprovision as long as its attached to your account. My preferred method to program if customer doesn't care / new device.

i miss it even though i didn't use it all that much. more of a show-off feature. i went into best buy today and looked at their piece of **** kickstand case. it is 35.00$ the actual kickstand is thin plastic. i will get an htc case with the big metal kickstand once i find a black one.

the one thing i am seeing though is when this phone is on it's kickstand the charging port is going to be sitting on the bottom. not a huge deal for me since i didn't use it for long periods of time, but a really big FAIL for htc. should have left the charging port at the bottom like the 4G

hi,

I've linksys wi-fi router model WRT54GH in my home & it has a good amount of signal strength to cover entire area.

My recently bought galaxy S2 is able to identify linksys wi-fi access point & connects too with the IP assigned to it, also at wi-fi settings connected being displayed.

Now when I try to access Internet (any url google/FB), it doesn't connect at all.

I tried almost everything about router configuration, restart etc. but with no success :(

can someone plz help on this ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexzarin:
In my case the problem was with frozen "WiFi sharing" in combination with juicy defenders "Location" fearure. It seems such combination is dangerous. Solutin (in my case):

4. make WiFi sharing frozen

5. reboot again just for fun

Try to check your router's MAC address restrictions. In my router, as security, I have to add MAC addresses of each device to share internet. They take IP's, connects etc. but does not have accesses to internet
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan@msx:
as above, check that there is no MAC filtering set up.

one other thing it may be is the security settings, if you have a WEP Key to access the router it may need the Hex conversion of your key depending on what level of security you have (64bit or 128bit for example)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OccasionalDroid:
Try setting up a static IP address for your phone, I presume your network is a 192.168.1.0, go into router settings and LAN setup, give your phone the address in a static DHCP assignment of 192.168.1.5, or any other address in the same subnet your in.

I had exactly the same issue on Linksys E4200 with my laptop, could connect to network, even to router's attached storage, but not to internet. Restart helped:(
