[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizdog23:
Sorry to post again lol but i looked up some more about the radio issues and apparently there is an app on the market called network that allows you to choose the cdma radio instead of the gsm radio when you boot (although you gotta do it every time you boot) otherwise the phone would always look for gsm radio service and it would kill your battery. Other then that though this should be possible.

I am correct in saying that you are talking about Sensible Test Build, Gingersense, etc? Because if so i can never boot that rom lol no matter what i try that is the only rom i can not load up. I will try some other stuff to try and get it going but will you post screenshots so i can see what it looks like? Im sure it looks great although i do have a few questions; A, does it have htc hub; B, does it play nice with firerats partitions; and C, does it smooth or does it seem laggy at times? Thanks

Not a huge issue but for some reason when I turn ON my TF from a long sleep/hybernation (1hr+), it will lose it's wifi connection to my house but the icon says that it is connected (but with no internet access). The only way I can fix this is by turning off and on the wifi. I would rather not have to do this. Is there a way/fix for this issue so that the wifi will reconnect once the tablet wakes?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ilesal:
This is one of several bugs that I am starting to fined annoying. I have to leave wifi as always on rather than disconnect on sleep.

The other issue is browser closing...still no fix for that either.
[Acer Iconia A500] DFWGringo:
I would greatly appropriate any help that can be offered! I have the previously leaked 3.1 on my A500, and I was going to install the new one that is posted on the Development area, but like a dummy I did a factory reset via the Android OS and not the CWM. By doing this I have lost Root and CWM, and this version of 3.1 has a bug where you have to delete dhcpd-wlan0.lease, which I can't do because I don't have root, to get WiFi access. I cannot use ADB because I don't have root. Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to get root again without file manager or WiFi to download the root application?

I know this is probably simple, but it's one of those things that you can see a clear answer until someone tells you how stupid you are so you can embrace it! :D:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Use a static IP. That way you won't need DHCP to get the IP because you'll assign one yourself. This will get your Wifi up and the rest is up to you. :)

Thanks for the help! I was able to finally load CWM and factory reset+wipe cache+wipe dalvik. Then loaded the update_3.1.zip. Next did a restart, and now my Tablet is sitting with the Acer logo and will not load. Can anyone recommend a way to get it up again?

Thanks again for your help!

Disregard

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
Mine started freezing at the acer logo, but I have not modified my unit at all. I was able to recover by holding the down volume as I turned it on. It showed some text on the screen, stating it cleared the cache, but froze again loading the recovery image. I restarted my tablet again and then it was fine.

[Acer Iconia A500] dj898:
I also had an issue where the A500 would sit at Android screen.

I turned off and enter the CWM again and wipe cache+dalvik+battery before install the official 3.1. And then to be sure wipe cache+dalvik+battery again and then install the official 3.1 second time.

Upon rebooting it seems rather longer than usual but eventually I got the lock screen!

p.s. didn't do the factory reset 'coz I wasn't keen on d/l all the apps and etc.

Can't Connect to A500 wifi tethering thru Galaxy S (rooted)

Hello I am a noob to threads but not to XDA

I got my Acer Iconia Tab A500 a few days ago and can't connect the wifi tethering using my Samsung Epic 4G SPH-D700 (rooted)

Which has been rooted and update with Gingerbread 2.3.3. :confused:

I was able to connect my laptop HP vista with no problems. :rolleyes:

I am unable to root the A500 at the moment due to its a rent to own product. But if need be I would root the A500 to fix the wifi issue. Because I know it could always unroot like with my Sprint Samsung Epic 4G (rooted).

My issue is how do I get the A500 to see the Galaxy S using 3G wifi tethering USB? :D

I see alot of posts (threads) but is there a clear set of instructions that I could follow in order to get connection.

I am not looking to purchase a mifi or any other kind of modem due to the Samsung Epic 4G (rooted) should be enough.

Any help would most appreciative.

[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Never had this problem on the Evo 4G but now that my wife and I are both using Our Groceries on our Evo 3D's, after a while using it (mostly adding items to the list and maybe creating/changing categories), the entire app becomes unresponsive. When you flick to scroll a list for example, it'll scroll a few pixels at a time for maybe 10 seconds and then stop. It's as if it is almost locked up but not quite, but it is unusable. Have to force closed and restart.

Anyone else use this app and notice this?

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I've tried a few. Closest looked like it would be "Mr. Number" but it doesn't really look anything up. Basically all numbers show either the city only or nothing. With all the free reverse phone lookups out there, seems like there would be an app that could do a quick lookup and display the info as the phone is ringing. Most of the apps I found (including Mr. Number), want like a dollar a call to do the lookup. Ridiculous!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] CPerkins.RS:
I've had this phone since release and have loved it. I have only one issue with it. I'll be trying to use my internet on the phone and it will show the upload arrow but the download will never do anything. I have full signal so this is not the problem. This happends a lot and in the middle of browsing it will do it... It will load a page and I'll click a link and it wont load and then it will work again after awhile. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know a fix or the reason its doing this. Also I have full 4G coverage where I am.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rsalina9:
It happens to me a lot too! Its very inconvenient and I know its not the area where I reside because I also have a g2 on my spare line and the g2s data works perfectly fine when the g2xs is stalling. :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CPerkins.RS:
Did you get yours at release? If so it may just be the first batch or something...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Could be lots of things. Have you activated and are using the SIM that came with the phone. Supposedly the G2x uses a new SIM format.

What OS are you running? Are you on WiFi? 2G, 3G, 4G? Where does this occur?

I surf my with my phone a lot and I don't get that intermittent data problem you are describing. I am running the latest CM7 (#70) and in a 3G area with average signal quality.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CPerkins.RS:
I'm using the SIM that came with the phone and this is only on 4G I reverted back to stock ROM unrooted and still has the problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rsalina9:
I've never rooted my phone. I've actually swapped the sim twice already thinking it was the problem. Hard reset has been done. I've pretty much tried every trick in the book and the problem still persists. Its my 2nd replacement(1st one had the same issue)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rsalina9:
P.s I got the first one at release then had it exchanged(buyers remorse period) for a new one towards the end of may so I doubt the 2nd one was from the first batch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Like Player said, could be alot of things. For a sim, the G2x does not require a brand new sim, but it does require a newer sim. If your sim is older than 18 months, put in the one that came with the phone. Last years TMOBILE sim will work with the G2x.

Also, data plan. Didn't happen to me, but did happen to my son, the plan was not enabled for 4g Android. He got signal, rarely 4g...but did get 2g.3g. Walked back in the store..asked what was up...they checked...1 mouse click and finished. Funny thing was, he bought the phone from them, earlier in the day. You would have thought they would have covered that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Your sons phone was showing 3g? Hmm... I thought on tmo 4g was a fast version of 3g and that the g2x only showed 2g or 4g. I am probably misunderstanding something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CPerkins.RS:
So I went to T-Mobile just now and they gave me a new SIM and it fixed all the problems so if anyone else is having trouble try getting a new SIM first....its free :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
Hi,

firstly, let me introduce myself:

My name is Tony and from my signature and amount of posts, you can see, I am a very active XDA user and used to do a lot of first and second level support for the blueangel and the blackstone and today my SGS2 arrived, which is my first native android phone. As soon, as i figured out all the tiny beginner's questions, i will start supporting this awesome device for all you fellow users out there.

But for now, excuse me, that I have to ask a few stupid questions that I encountered while setting up the device:

1. My phone is set to English (US) and my keyboard and voice input options are set to German (so that writing or voice inputting sms and german addresses are easier). However, Vlingo does not exactly support the dual language and sometimes produces problems when reading out english information, anybody else experiencing mixed language problems there? any advice?

2. i decided to set my up contacts from scratch. i put in all the correct formal names for my contacts, but when i connect these users to their respective facebook accounts (who are sometimes based on nicknames), the display name automatically changes to the facebook name, while i prefer the formal name. is there a way to change it?

3. contacts allow me to add several im accounts, e.g. ICQ. when i click the icq# of a user, it opens up im and states that only windows live, google talk and yahoo are supported. is there a way to either connect that to the official icq for android, or add other messengers to the stock im? if not, why bother inputting all the information, if one cannot use it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
i wonder why nobody else seems to experience problem #2.

i found it again here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6067

apparently, when you connect contacts through one or more platforms, like facebook, twitter, last.fm, skype... and there names vary, your contacts app will always prefer the last name with the latest letter in the alphabet. in my case, there is one contact first name r. last name b., but one facebook, he goes by another variation of his name, "zu b.", so contacts prefers the facebook name, as z is greater than b. there is no logical reason why facebook names should be preferred to the phone's own stored name. after all, i entered those names because i wanted to find the contacts by that name. why does the phone tell me, my choices are no good and facebook's are better? ;)

strike issue #1 and #3, i will find a workaround some time, but it would be extremely nice, if someone could check if this contacts issue is present in their device and firmware?

i have ke7 dbt (latest german stock rom).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
My nexus one does the same thing. If I sync contacts with Facebook it changes to their Facebook displayed name. I'm still not clear on exactly how it does it too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
i tried several ways of bypassing the issue, starting by assuming the sorting of contacts would be determined by the regular ascii order of letters, or linux's, so i tried renaming every contact to minuscules, so R.B. -> r.b. which didn't help and i wouldn't even bother starting any contact with z or any symbol, as that would render the letter navigation bar on the right useless.

so the only way i could bypass the issue was to sort and display contacts by first name. after many years of windows mobile use i'm having trouble getting used to it but apparently, there is no other way so far.

if anyone else has trouble with this, please go to http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6067 and star the issue and post your experiences.

When the Atrix was first released, it was plagued by poor outgoing voice quality until software and hardware updates were made.

Now that I have 2.3.4 on my Atrix, I can barely have a conversation on my phone without more or less yelling and talking like I'm trying to explain something very simple to someone that doesn't speak english.

Not having a go just putting my view forward.

I don't really care how many days the battery lasts as long as it lasts me a day! It can charge when I sleep. I take it as a given that the battery won't be lasting days between charges considering that our phones are basically the same as pcs were from a not too distant past.
[XPERIA X10 General] The Gingerbread Man:
I dont know if thats device specific but I do know you can get an app called juice defender free off the market which turns off 3g when your phone enters deep sleep. Really helps save battery :-)

the 3G eats away at the battery like a pig.

It does not matter what the signal quality is like or what BB you use.

It eats and eats.

SE is aware of the issue but some people act like the issue is not even existent.

I get 2 to 3 hours and then i need to charge and the worst is how hot the phone gets while using it on 3G.

However, I don't use 3G, there is no good coverage in my area. I've set the network to "2G only" and I turn on data only when needed.

The problem lies in the mobile radio management, be it phone or internet.
