[Thunderbolt General] Cdoan34:
X2 was outdated before it came out. no 4g.

now if you really want a huge community go with thunderbolt

if you really reallly like touchwiz go for the charge

oh and if your afraid the thunderbolt isnt an update from the incredible? you'd be sorely mistaken. I used to have the incredible and this is so much better. processor is much stronger (can oc to 1.9) and the ram on this makes it run smooth as butter.
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
I personally think the Thunderbolt is a gorgeous phone. Loved it since the moment I got it. 4G everywhere allows me to download any new ROM's (200+ MB) in a matter of minutes. Community is damn near booming. Its a great phone, definitely will be sticking with it for a long time.
[Thunderbolt General] the kid escobar:
I don't show customers my Bolt just the demo one HTC sent, they don't mind as long as I'm not telling a customer about rooting.
[Thunderbolt General] yurdle:
I went with the last week when my girlfriend and I moved to our own plan. Took it back 2 days later and got the thunderbolt... Best Decision Ever.. lol

Charge honestly felt like a downgrade from my Droid X... even with the 4G

Thunderbolt feels sturdy, charge... not so much

Charge screen is definitely more "vivid" but I feel that the thunderbolts screen was a step up from the droid x..

So while the Charges screen was pretty nice.. thunderbolt is still enough for me..

As far as battery life goes.. I know I only really had the charge for a day.. but compared to my first day with the thunderbolt the phones were relatively equal for me

In the end.. i say tbolt... but its all in personal preference.. never played with an X2
[HTC Typhoon] Charliekrad:
hi i am trying to upgrade my Typhoon to 6.1 but i haver got to the point in the upgrading process in which i need to restart and press 0 for the IU the only issue is i do not recive this message and i cannot get any further.

Edit: my SPL is 2.05.0130
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
you must go to the patched SPL 1.09 for Typhoon befor you go any further.
[HTC Typhoon] Hakim Rahman:
yes it is true said tobbie, with 1.09 SPL you can flash any rom like WM6.1 or WM6.5 on your Typhoon

for SPL 1:09 Can you get HERE
[HTC Typhoon] Charliekrad:
oh well ive tried poatching the spl before but i just recive errorr 260 or 240 and i cannont make no progress i have tried using a different computer but to no avail
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
oh well... if the device is still original, then you must follow a sequence of actions to allow such upgrade.

These should be mentioned in any custom rom thread. Essentially you must get the SPL 1.09 on the device then you can load any custom ROM.

1. application unlock the old OS

2. CID unlock the device with lokiwiz toolset

3. load SPL 1.09

4. load custom ROM

good luck!
[HTC Typhoon] Charliekrad:
I belive i have already application unlocked and supercided it with lokiwiz toolset but i have peforemd a hard reset due to that connection issue, would that haver affected it in anyway? thanks
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
If you are back the old WM2k3 and you cannot upgrade the SPL, then lokiwiz probably has not super-CID your device. To check, connect your device in Bootloader mode to mtty (with AS having USB disabled) and enter "info 1" (no quotes) then try "info 2" (no quotes) and report both results.

Not sure about above myself as I have no device at hand today to check right now.

Hard reset does not affect the CID or SIM Unlock - these are stored in the encrpyted area of the ROM (64kb Block) that is not affected by Hard-Rest or OS-flashing.
[HTC Typhoon] Charliekrad:
sorry for my noobiness but it will not show in mtty i have tried the usb drivers? but the phone does not show in mtty
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
You must make sure that Active Sync (Windows XP) or Mobile Device Center is not using the USB port to connect the device. You can disable the use in Active Sync selecting the "Connections" menu and then disabling there.

Reconnect the device and restart mtty. The USB button will be there only if the USB connection is accessible and the device is connected to the USB port.
[HTC Typhoon] Charliekrad:
sorry for the bump but ive came back to my phone and i am having so my trouble superCIDin the phone i have done everything by the book, ive hard reset the phone and tried everything again and now SDA unclokder says "phone is not unlockable" and the lokiwiz.bat will not super cid it.
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
Look at mediafire in my kitchen folder here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?3tt15dyp4mbuu

the "...one time per device" ZIP has all tools inside. There is another (on board application unlock) that will do the trick. It installs a tool on the device, execute it there first and then start SDA Unlock. No need to reboot as the changed security policies are active immediately.
[HTC Typhoon] Charliekrad:
i downloaded your kitchen and i ran the htcunlock the the sda unlocker still says the phone is unlockable
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
So these Orange devices are quite resistant to application unlock. Did you notice that the HTC Unlocker kind of "remote controls" a registry editor? It may be that the changes did not really go through.

It is quite complicated and a lot of trial and error what you will have to do and I cannot advise in detail as I have no such device.

Key is that the application that changes the policy on the device is permitted to do so. Usually as well SDA Unlocker (remotely via the RAPI Policy) or the signed Registry editor controlled via HTC Unlocker can do that. It all goes to the registry keys in HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies where the relevant policy IDs have to assigned the right values (role permissions). You can use the free CE-Command (from ghisler.com) which has a registry tool built in or the same registry editor that HTC Unlcok controls to check if the values that the tools try to write are really written or not. I suspect they are simply NOT written. If you cannot find a tool that can change the policy, then there is another way around this:

The Gold Card method. Get the trial version of "revskills" from www.revskills.com and create a gold card with the device for the "Typhoon". With this card in the device, the SPL will allow ANY (also non Orange) signed ROM to be loaded. Use any non Orange shipped ROM for the Typhoon and load it to the device. This OS should allow to change the application lock and also allow the further steps.

Mind that ROMs for the Feeler or Amadeus have different key-handling (especially for the joystick) - so best you get also a Typhoon ROM for that exercise.

I think in the Tornado Forum was once a description how to unlock a Cingular 2125, possibly similar actions may allow you the first step. Not sure here though.
[HTC Typhoon] Charliekrad:
thanks for your help i beelive that your tool changes the registrey values correctly im nnot sure about this i have tried running it a few times but with the same results
[HTC Typhoon] tobbbie:
Just to reassure that: Your device is not CID unlocked yet after all the trials you did? What does the SPL tell when you enter "info 2" in mtty connected?

Do you know how to work with a PC registry editor and to connect with the device? There are several that can do that, e.g. "Registry Workshop" or "Smartione" or "CE Regeditor". All these can connect to the device via Active Sync and read out the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies branch.

Could you just post the export of that branch here?

You can also do that on board the device with CECmd, get into virtual two window mode, on one side go to the branch above (exactly, on top of the second "\Policies"), on the other in any file-directory, can also be root. Then on the registry side press "5" for copy and confirm to copy the "\Policies" branch to the other side. You get a text file called "policies.reg" - attach or post it here.

Finally you could search for the Microsoft tool "security configuration manager". This allows to select the security model "Security off" - once applied to the device the lokiwiz should run with success.
[HTC Sensation] greengoldmello:
Ok, I don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but for some reason when using any music app that has a equalizer function, when you max out the loudness it slowly lowers the volume back to a predetermined level.

if you wish to recreate this, follow these steps.

1.download poweramp trial or the equalizer app.

2. after installing, play some music. Make sure that your volume level is maxed.

3. while the track playing, if using poweramp, go to the preamp and raise the left slider all the way up. You will hear the volume raise, and it should gradually lower back to the way it was before you raised the slider.

If you are using the equalizer app, go to the custom level screen and click maximum level for all the sliders. The same effect will happen as with poweramp.

4. For further proof, after putting it at the maximum boost that you can, lower it back to the normal levels. The volume will be very low, and then slowly raise back the max that it was before.

This basically makes the equalizers useless. I'm wondering why HTC added this feature, because its very annoying...
[HTC Sensation] greengoldmello:
Bump?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
Hello,

So my phone was working before it got stuck in a boot loop. However, the download mode did not work. Whenever I entered the download command into adb, it would restart as if it was going into download mode, but then it would reboot again.

Ironically, it is able to go into CWM recovery when I enter the command. I tried to do a factory reset on the phone in CWM and reflashed CM7 and now I am stuck in bootloops.

Every loop it displays a quick message in recovery "E: Can't mount sd card".

Someone please help! I am going to get a jig, but is there any other option besides that?

Thanks..

Also, my 3 Button Combo doesn't work...and I am assuming my warranty is voided so I can't send it to Samsung?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
In response to your Samsung question, yes, you cannot send it to Samsung, as the modifications have made it non-warranty. Sorry to have to say that.

On the positive side, a jig should be your best bet. That should kick you into download mode where you can flash back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
Okay, thanks for the quick response

[Eee Pad Transformer General] andyxover:
Dear all,

First I'd like to apologize for opening another thread. As many of you have probably noticed, the thread is getting longer and longer, Its becoming increasingly hard to find answer to some issue, And at the same time harder for Asus to identify the issue. I feel like we need to come up with a better system, so it's not just easier for us, but easier for Asus people to identify and find a solution for our problem. An Idea I have right now is to have poll on every Issue post, so this way we can tell if it’s something common or more of an individual cases. And when creating polls try to be more specific, for example don't just say machine don't charge, try to more specific like don't charge when docked, or charges the tablet but not the dock, etc.

And if it is a more common issue (hardware issue), Asus may need to collect sample and see what the problem is. And this brings to my second idea, creating a emailing list. So now with this email list, asus can answer to everyone with similar issue all at once, and maybe issue a batch return. So they can better identify what the problem is within these similar issued machines.

and for new comers that joins to the email list of a certain issue, maybe there's a way that they automatically receives the email history so they can see if the issue has been resolved or still ongoing.

So there you have it, 2 ideas,

1. Polls on all issue post,

2. Email list for specific problems, RMA

From previous experience we know that Asus is monitoring this forum,

So lets help them to better help us.

Sorry if I'm out of my place for making suggestions like this, it’s probably a forum administrator’s job. I've owned my TF since the first day it released in Taiwan, aside from a little light bleed I really loved it, I really think it’s a great machine and has much potential, let’s make it better together.

I have it downloaded but unsure about trying just yet? Have you ran this rom and how did u like it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
I would suggest Virtuous 1.0.2. It is a Froyo Sense 2.1 ROM that is very stable. The only issue with it is when you use one of the non-standard kernels there are screen-wake issues. This is solved by using SetCPU or CPUTuner and setting a broader range of frequencies in the screen off profile.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DROID76:
I tried virtuous 1.0.2 and it was extremely laggy. I took a while to scroll from screen to screen and open the app drawer. I liked the way insert coin ran but couldn't get past the led problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Did you use CWM or Rom Manager to flast 1.0.2? RM is not a good way to flash roms as it can be alittle tempermental.

Also, when you flash, reboot before you do any configurations. 1.0.2 has scripts that run on first boot which may give you a false first impression.

You'll lose official updates (SEUS, OTA and PCCompanion) and TrackID will not work anymore (the DRM certificates which are needed for the app get wiped). You still can update through Flashtool, and use other apps like Shazam or SoundHound.

im sure what im doing wrong, i literally followed your instructions word for word but it still hangs when i try and flash

im using command prompt on windows 7 32 bit

heres what CP says: c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\fastboot>fastboot flash system GP2Xperia-xda.img

sending 'system' (176302 KB)...

your system image is located in my fastboot folder
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
There is a certain lag between giving the command and starting to get outputs. I was (and still am) scared of that as well but it took a minute until I saw the whole blocks being erased.
[Xperia Play Android Development] silvacrest:
yeah, i no about that lag, it usually takes 30 secs or so to start but on my command prompt its been the same for over 5 minutes, i dont mind waiting longer but im pretty sure nothing will happen

I confirm your issue... This is really weird. I'll start from scratch and see what comes. Maybe I was a bit too eager to post here :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
Hey man, that happened to me with a custom image.

What I did to fix it was, factory reset, reflash a stock image, modify it, then back it up. Then apply the theme and back that up. Try flash that then!

EDIT: Re-read over that, and it sounds kinda retarded :P Basically, you're going to have to rebuild the img!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ammarcool12:
Hey good work but will the gamepad work with the modded kenrel I mean the normal xplay games not emulators
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Good news: the second test build seems to work.

Bad news: I need to hunt for reliable sources for the reliable emulators so it'll take more time. There are some apps called "SNES A.D" and the like in the Market. I was going to use them, but i checked their permission sheet and it made me shiver.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Prozel:
A shame you can't use the "oid" emulators as they are very good!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Well, theoretically I could, as they are still being distributed for free on SlideME. It'd make things MUCH, MUCH easier. But of course, their free status is listed as temporary (even if the famous "2 weeks" are well over-passed). Nevertheless, I wonder about Gearoid (he doesn't sell it anymore).

I guess if I drop a line to Yongzh so that he lets me use his apps I'll get my ass kicked in shame, aye? :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Prozel:
I was thinking the same. I always have a backup of those emulators, thanks to SlideMe.

Yeah it's weird that he forgot Gearoid as it rocks (too) :P
[Xperia Play Android Development] Nhialor:
This was happening to me until I flashed it through CWM!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Actually, what I did was preparing the whole apps, then flashing your theme through CWM before backing up and extracting the system.img file.

Hi, i got my SII 2 weeks ago and the first ROM I flashed is Litening (I got a S1 before and always used custom ROM ^_^). No problem so far, just battery drain but I got same problem with my S1 before they released 2.3.4.

However I have a strange bahaviour with my batterrystats.bin : I plug then phone and let it charge over night, when I unplug it the file is automatically wiped (cheched size before and after unplugging, it goes from 70kb to 3kb !). All stats are cleared and I get new data. On the "old" S1 the stats were never wiped unless I chose to. Is it a bug of this ROM ? Of S2 ? Of my S2 ? Anyone got the same ?

Thanks !
