[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripalsanghani:
I live in the northwest suburbs outside of downtown Chicago. I work and commute to the city and I experience it the whole ride to and from home. I will be sitting at my desk and randomly go from full 3G to 1x. At home in the suburbs, my signal is terrible in my house already but I do get dropped to 1x as well. Don't really notice any speed changes besides the normal slowdowns from what I am assuming is the congestion.

That sounds like a horrible way to fix their congestion issues! Is this something they just started doing? Like I said in the first post, everything functioned perfect up until a month or two ago. Also, would they apply that to an area as big as Chicago out the suburbs?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
It's not a fix, it's just a way to alleviate some congestion while they work on redoing the towers.

I'm not saying this is what's happening to you but it's likely.

You can try to have the phone reactivate itself. [If I recall correctly that function is in ##yourmsl#]

You can get your MSL here.

You can also try to update your PRL and then Data profile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamXp:
Same thing here. I've complained to Sprint several times so now they want me to bring my phone in to be checked so I need to unroot. Ugh
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripalsanghani:
Thanks for the info. I will give it a shot. I did update my PRL and profile in that order but didn't seem to help. If nothing helps maybe I'll have to get this bad boy replaced or something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Also, and before you ask there is no logical reasoning for this and even the

very knowledgeable

technician that recommended it hasn't figured out why it would do anything, you can try going to ##3282# and clicking "view" and then clicking on EVDO and then backing out and trying the internet.

They don't know why that would do anything and no it doesn't make any sense...but that's exactly why I

refuse

to go into anything related to working on computers...for being logical they aren't logical...at all.

By the way, doesn't hurt to keep your radios updated.

Best of luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripalsanghani:
Haha, I am actually in IT so I know exactly what you mean. I will try that out as well. And my radios were updated and I was actually considering rolling back to see if that caused any issues for me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Let me correct myself, sorry I never run Sense, it's ##786# then you hit menu and hit reset.

You need to have your MSL. Also, please note that this will erase your /data and you will lose all personal information.

Furthermore, be sure to cancel when it tries to do a check for firmware update.

This honestly may be more trouble than it worth though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripalsanghani:
Thanks, yeah I found the reset option in another thread. I reset, hit the prl update, cancelled the firmware check and will run this around town for the day see if I get 1x. I'll post back here later today. thanks again for the help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripalsanghani:
Well used for most of the day and so far so good. Saw it go down 1x once on train compared to everytime I unlocked the phone. Let's hope this isn't temporary . Ill post again after the weekend to test around the suburbs and state to state during a trip to toronto. Thanks again!

Oh and speed still sucks but that's a sprint issue obviously.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Yeah it is. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsitsnamenow:
I had the same problem a month ago. It's the phone. I tried many different combination of radios and roms but no help. Ended up exchanging it. When you bring in the phone just use the android browser to load a heavy graphic webpage which should take forever in 1x mode.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pleach:
Hi xda developers.

I am currently using FreeX10 rom in my X10i.

I was just wondering if it is possible to switch back to original Sony Ericsson 2.1 rom?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realunited123:
Yes it is possible. Use flash tool or SEUS or PC Companion.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walidhiphop:
Hi...you are wrong.....SEUS and PC Companion cant recognize the phone......the only solution is flash tool with the downloaded official rom.......
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realunited123:
They can't? I haven't used them in a while so don't know. So they changed it to detect rooted phones?

Sent from my X10
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
Get your facts right. I had done it a lot of times on my phone, it always recognize my phone no matter what rom I use.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soulfl:
I can agree with both of you.

I am using wolf's tw7.1 and wolf's 4.5 on my phones.

My main phone i have flashed to stock using SEUE many time with no problem but my other phone it just says that it has current firmware.

On that phone i falshed to an older firmware hopping SEUE would detect it with no go.

So in the end one phone flashs perfect and then 2 min later go to do my other phonen nothing so i always have to use flashtools to fix it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdadaven:
Hello i have changed the customization numbers in the BUILD.prop file, to the Spain Generic 1247-1054. The strange thing is that i have take a look to the DEFAULT.prop, and it says ro.semc.version.sw=1241-4324, and that number is Singapore Singtel Branded version...

Is this normal?

Can anyone with spain or global version check the DEFAULT.prop to see if is normal that the numbers don't match with the BUILD.prop?. Thanks

I just got a galaxy tab 10.1 and i have been checking there forum out and its completely dead. Like i saw a couple tuble weeks role threw. Not only that my GT has issues and there is no one there at all that helps out. I guess im just so glad i have i also have a evo and this great forum for support. Yea theres lots of teens that talk smack but hey. I did too when i was 16 haha. Love the evo, love this forum. Mahalo boys ( and ladys )
[EVO 4G General] mskelbel:
you found a Samsung tab 10.1 forum? I couldn't find it myself. I have a new one and was wanting to see what has been done with it.
[EVO 4G General] kennypow3rs:
Because no one was stupid enough to actually buy a 10.1 lol. Rule #1: don't buy Samsung products unless its a TV.
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
Spoken like someone who has been burned by Samsung in the past.

The 10.1 is nice, but the Xoom is nicer.
[EVO 4G General] kennypow3rs:
Agreed! Im getting a Xoom around the holidays. Yes I have been burned by sammie a few times. All they have is pretty screens they can't make a phone/radio for ****. Ask all the iPhone 4 owners. Plus my GF has an epic touch 4G (left a nexus s) and her phone gets **** for service in the same house my photon is always on full bars.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Rule #1: don't buy Samsung products.

Fixed it for ya
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
I have had great experience with the the two Epics I have and teh Transform and Moment.

My Gf's Epic does get better speeds than my Evo gets on 3G.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Sure, if you don't have a Transformer. ;)
[EVO 4G General] neo117:
i have had both the xoom, the transformer, and the 10.1 galaxy.

I like the galaxy the most, it is thinner and lighter and i haven't had even a hint of a problem with it.

I would take the xoom as a close second over the TF. I really didn't like the feel of the TF and had a TON of FC with it
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
That is true. the TF is a great tablet and it is cheaper than the other two. A buddy of mine picked up the ViewSonic gTablet. I was impressed considering how cheap it was. I had it rooted for him within 5 minutes, and now he loves it more.
[EVO 4G General] mskelbel:
Right well I didn't buy my 10.1. I won it. Actually I won the G-Slate from T-Mobile. They sent me $750 worth of gift cards, so I upgraded to the tab. From what I could see in owner reviews, I think it was the better choice. If I was to go out and buy one, I would have purchased the transformer prime.

[Thunderbolt General] jeffreymeyer99:
Okay so here's my issue my thunderbolt has been lagging really bad the past few days and I noticed that the system is loaded with a ton of HTC system apps that are using a lot of the memory...on my infuse I just got has the same amount of Apps and looks the exact same with fewer system apps and runs great like my thunderbolt used to...so I am curious if I go with a senseless rom with no sense at all will it increase my thunderbolts speed or will it just hide the HTC system stuff but still use it?
[Thunderbolt General] blazednova:
some quick questions;

are you running a gingerbread rom on your tbolt,

what kernel are you using,

which radio

any of these things can play a big part in the performance of your phone, you dont really have to get rid of sense to become fast again, you just have to find the right combo of (listed above).
[Thunderbolt General] jeffreymeyer99:
I am running liquid thundersense with imoesyon over clocked kernel clocked at 1.4ghz running froyo I am unsure about my radio its been a while sense I flashed it
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
If sense is done right, there is no lag. The BS that is in the stock ROM... A whole other story.

If you are stock and rooted you can download root explorer...

Make a backup before doing anything!!!!

Under system/app you can remove the things YOU KNOW are not needed. Like, golf, VZ Nav, etc. Delete the things you want gone. I always remove friendstream, HTC Twitter and both their widgets. Market apps are way better and they both are system and battery vampires.

After you clean house... Reboot into clockwork and clear the cache and dalvik to get rid of the bones left behind.
[Thunderbolt General] blazednova:
i agree with droidtheory about if sense is working correctly it will be with out lag. you may want to consider trying a new rom. my phone runs best on anything the bamf team makes( not saying other roms are bad or anything).

i've gotta ask, why are you still running froyo? i have been on gingerbread since the day bamf released their GB rom, i am currently running bamf3.0 RC3, sense 3.0 is amazingly smooth and awesome.

but if you don't want to change the rom your running, you can(all in recovery) wipe data/cache/dalvik/bat-stats three times each and flash thundersense again. and if you restore with TiBu, or what ever you use, do not restore system data/apps. only restore downloaded apps.

-hope that helps ya:D
[Thunderbolt General] sublimaze:
Instead of deleting files/directories, I would suggest grabbing Bloat Freezer from the market. Bloat Freezer hides nonessential apps from the operating system, which serves the same function as deletion. If you freeze something you shouldn't (the phone starts acting weird, new error messages, etc), just unfreeze apps until you get normal function back. You should also check out Autostarts, which prevents apps from launching in the background and sucking battery & network bandwidth.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
CM7, the ultimate senseless ROM.

Runs smooth, and is great if you don't mind a couple radio bugs.

I can not get into download recovery mode anymore .. and

I might be able to fix it if my USB or charger did work.

but no. so the only thing that i could do is to come and ask you forum.

Im never gonna put a "Samsung Captivate ROM" on my Galaxy s.

anymore i promise! Cuz thats wuz just the ****test thing i ever could do.

PLZ HELP!.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
Yup. Today is a huge day for Windows Phone indeed and, to top it off, the official Facebook app just hit 2.0 and finally (finally!) brings Push Notifications (Toast + Live Tile) to the game.

What's really great is just how much you can choose to be notified on: Message, Wall Post, Feed comment, Feed comment reply, Photo tag, Photo comment, Tagged photo comment, Photo comment reply...etc, etc. All of those are optional for notifications, which gives you the user some great control over how the app works.

Overall, the app feels smooth and now, dare we say, is complete?

Needs chat
[Windows Phone 7 General] BellPego:
With Mango the Me Tile as fecebook notifications... And there's tag and so on, so not that great for Mango'ers.. Lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Its nice to have push notifications now, but since I'm on Mango, and Mango has even better Facebook integration and Facebook Chat, it almost makes the Facebook app a bit useless and redundant.

Still great to finally see it though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yeahyeahyeah1981:
Can you view people photo albums and walls in the Mango facebook integration? Or is it all about updates and status? Just wondering how complete the facebook integration is in Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
The profile card contains (and it does pre-Mango) the what's new feed which is the user's wall, except that it only contains Facebook-made (status updates, links, photos, events, etc.) applications and not all that extra stuff (which is perfect for me). It also contains a pictures view where you can view all the person's photos and photos of the person as well.

It's really fast and works perfectly.

You also get all your Facebook notifications in your "me" tile now. So you can go there to see what's going on throughout Facebook, tap it and instantly be able to comment or like it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
I think the previews have shown that is possible in Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] yeahyeahyeah1981:
Couldnt remember from the previews:) There are so many new features in Mango its hard to keep track. Sounds great from what people are saying so far

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Now that Cognition is up to 2.3 (Gingerbread), I was wondering what some thought about the pros and cons between it and Serendipity7. I'm presently on CM7, but like the idea of using stock gingerbread bootloaders and some of the Samsung apps (not so much any of the AT&T apps). But insights into ease of flashing, using CWM or Rom Manager, and merits of each would be great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Every ROM is gonna have pros and cons.. and when you add different users to the picture.. the pros and cons change for each person. Your best bet would be to try them out for yourself and see which one you like. Likes and dislikes are gonna vary from person to person... also is the reason why these threads don't stay around long. This ROM vs. That ROM.. too many opinions. Read the changelogs.. see what this one has vs that one. Try this one for a few days, then try that one.

And since you asked, i prefer CWM over ROMManager for flashing.. but that's just me.:rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTBee:
Thanks, I've been reading up on them both and will probably try them both out. Like you said, what's great for one might be a deal breaker for someone else. Just looking for a shortcut, maybe better that there's not one. ;-)

Hey I'm new to android, I rooted my epic 4g but didn't install any roms yet. I realize that I now want to upgrade my SD card storage. Would this mean I would have to root it again?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] orrimarrko:
Hello,

New here, and purchased my TF101 a few days ago. Loving it so far!

I downloaded nvflash and Prime 1.5 recently.

Followed the instructions for NvFlash from BumbleBee, but got to a part where it said:

failed executing command 2147483647 nVError 0x4

Did some research, and it seems I'm missing the:

recovery.img, boot.img and system.img files

I've looked all through the various different ROMS, and even the official ASUS firmware, and can not find these files?

At the moment, my TF101 is bricked, as nvflasher did not complete because the files wee missing.

Where does someone get these files, and is there an alternate way to use nvflash to get Prime 1.5 on the tablet? Everyone else doesn't seem to be having the issues I'm running into.

I would have posted this in the Development section, but being new here, I'm not permitted as of yet.

Many Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bud77:
Did you download the Nvflash version of prime ?

Then you must decompress the files of the .bz in your nvflash folder (containing the .bat & .sh)

And finally run the .bat/.sh to start it

I just did it 1 hour ago, and all worked fine for me
[Eee Pad Transformer General] orrimarrko:
Thanks Bud77!

I did not have the nvflash version downloaded (had the original version).

Downloading the nvflash version and shall try again.

Hello,

Today I tested out the wipe feature of an anti theft app (was on JVO stock + CF Root Kernel). The external SD was not modified in any way (no speedmod, ext file system or anything).

For some reason, it failed (it did work successfully in the past). It neither wiped the internal nor the external SD card. Now the external SD card is gone (see below).

After the wipe the phone auto rebooted and recovery mode showed this:

Android system recovery <3e>
[i]standard options were listed here, the "reboot system now" option was selected and the system was waiting for input[/i]

Try to make a folder called external_sd on your internal card. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Ok, did that and even created a folder inside external_sd. Now what? :)

It still shows "not available" on the external SD card storage space info. Formatting still does nothing and mounting card via the settings menu just hangs.

edit: copied over a few hundred MB into the external_sd folder. According to the storage space info it consumes space on the internal card so apparently that new folder is not really accessing the external card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
My external sd wasn't recognised too (but with MIUI), after I created this folder everything worked fine. So it would have been possible that it works for you too. ;)

But don't copy anything into the folder, let it empty. ;)
