My father decided to exchange his newly bought Dinc 2 for a X2. Being the phone guro that I am, I rooted it and froze some of the bloat. Is there CWM recover for this phone? What about Roms? I hope cm7 gets ported.

My fiance and I are due for an upgrade on Sunday and we want to get the Xperia play but I did want to ask on here if anyone has gotten it already.

We did play around with it in the store yesterday and fell in love with it.

We still love our eris but my fiance is in need of a new phone and I am ready for something new myself.

Thank you for any help :)

I only have 4MB of internal memory left and TMO can't do anything for me cause it's rooted of course.

So how do I get my memory back exactly? I can't put any roms or anything else on my internal SD card anymore.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tedkunich:
Just got the update to the new market, gotta say that it sucks - impossible to read, too busy... Flat out hate it. So my question is, how do I prevent it from updating if I restore the old version from a nandroid?

1) Change the name of the marketupdater.apk in system/app

or

2) Freeze it using Titanium Backup

I was just wondering if it is possible to get the music player from sense 2.0 to work with with stock 2.3 evo rom. (Gets me the best battery life)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LCL22:
do yourself a favor and download poweramp from the market , best music player out there and works spectacular since their last update

but to answer your question, i may be wrong , but its part of the sense software, youd have to have a custom rom that someone made with updated sense apps (kingdom hybrid rom comes to mind) to have it , but youd need root to flash it in the first place in any case, i dont think its possible ,i could be mistaken though

Finally! I'll make a new thread to alert the masses. Thanks!

edit: I posted a [Q] (question thread) in the Developers section asking if they knew that Netflix is now LIVE LIVE LIVE. There's a poll in there so the devs can give their answer.

Please don't. This thread is more than enough.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrazz:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
I used to be a casual netflix user (3 discs and streamed maybe 5 hours per month). Canceled it today, the upcoming structure doesn't fit my needs anymore. And never mind the ****ers not sending me an email that it went up a dollar in june.

good day.

****. just realized this would have made a great 4th thread.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
I suppose the masses won't truly be informed of this momentous occasion until every thread in the forum is announcing the availability of netflix.

Perhaps we could first create a preliminary thread to plan and discuss how we will notify everyone prior to actually announcing this. Let's get on that.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solido888:
This thread has potential, we should definitely discuss making a thread to discuss further threads about netflix on the fascinate.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
Unfortunately I've had 4 different ns4g's so far. Number 1 looked great. Number two had a washed out/yellowish tint to the display. Number 3 was great but now number four has the same washed out/yellowish hue. I can't find much info and I certainly don't want to exchange for a fifth phone. Having two of the same "normal" looking displays and two "washed out" displays I feel that there may be different panels being used during the manufacturing process. There's zero evidence of anything being defective. The EVO had several different displays which caused a fluctuation in the way colors and such were presented. Any help would be great as I don't mind having a device that looks a little different from the last as long as this ones not damaged.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
What you're seeing is an anomaly of AMOLED screens. No two AMOLED screens are exactly the same, so things like this will happen.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
That's the answer I was hoping for. Thanks so much!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mntbkr:
Remember with voodoo control you can correct the color profile.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nflnfl:
In Europe they sell Nexus S with SLCD display instead of Super AMOLED. These are obviously very different. The Baseband version of the SLCD type starts with "I9023".

The yellow tint issue is a software feature introduced in 2.3.3: "For Nexus S, we have adjusted the color temperature settings to more accurately reflect darker colors at all brightness levels." (Search for it in Google, I'm not permitted to post links yet.)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] donatello88:
Could someone answer these two questions please?

1. How's the battery life after the upgrade?

2. Can it be rooted? Is everything such as bluetooth ADP working fine?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rauelius:
On my 3rd G2x and it has been solid cept for a few things, such as GPS taking up to 20 minutes to lock, apps being unable to be moved to SD-card, whenever adding an app or widget to the homescreen would lock up the phone for a bit and would take up to 5 minutes to pull up a list, eating through a battery down to 40% after a full charge within 3 hours of light use.

Granted I fixed almost all those issues by rooting it and applying fixes I discovered through this wonderful forum. From the GPS fix (it locked within about 20sec-3minutes, much better than before) and the pre-opt-dex patch that was put up here which totally helped when adding apps/widgets to the homescreen(3-10 seconds compared to the 5 minutes). To some battery monitoring apps and charging techniques that helped me get the best out of my battery, which saw a full charge last about 9 hours before it squealed to be plugged back in.

Now with Gingerbread finally installed the GPS lock is virtually instant, the apps/widgets are likewise, almost instant. The battery seems to be a bit better. I took it off the charger at 4pm and its still at 25% at this time (12:49am).

As odd as it seems, I look back and am thankful for the buggy G2X. While I really liked my Nexus One, I never really delved into the community much. It was a solid phone and never had any problem, save for the complete lack of space to put apps on it. The buggy G2x lead me to this wonderful forum which was full of people with helpful opinions and great tips. Through the assistance of everyone here I learned a lot more about the Android system and about phones in general. Coming from a big PC background (I like building and fixing them) I liked that the Android OS provided me with similar work around that I did when working on PC's.

So, while the initial experience with the phone was nightmarish, in retrospect I really learned something, it's good to know that there is a group of people dedicated to making sure we get the best out of our phones and freeing us from the shackles of the providers limitations on the phones (rooting rocks!!)

A note to T-Mobile and LG. Why did you rush this phone?!?! I would have gladly waited till July for a fully functional phone. Without Gingerbread this is one of the most powerful phones in the universe, with Gingerbread it can now take advantage of that power. It's not like the competition was putting out anything much better than the MyTouch4g at that time, yes the Atrix, but that was a buggy nightmare too. So what if the Sensation beat this to market, this has stock android, an arguably better (supported at least) GPU, and is rootable. I would have waited. Look right now, for my criteriahttp://blogs.computerworld.com/16755/android_user_interface for a phone my options are currently the G2X, Nexus S and....can't really think of anything else... So seriously, coming from a Nexus One, the obvious choice is the G2X. I would think that a decent chunk of the people reading this would agree.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ppctester:
same here

I was one of the lucky ones to have a G2x without issues

stock phone not rooted, update went thru without problems and the phone feels snappier; I do miss the original LG camera app though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tq745:
It's good to hear everyone is happy with their phone...now I won't have to read about everyone jumping ship to the sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.johnsexydavis911:
After the update my phone lost signal. For the baseband it says unknown. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tq745:
try doing a factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bspence415:
What's the process to get the Gingerbread? Is everyone updating through LG update then what are you flashing?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
uhhhh try restarting the phone first and see if that fixes it... otherwise you are going to have to throw CWM on there and restore to stock and try doing the update again OR wait until there is a flashable bootloader posted up which is likely to be soon...

Updated mine as i couldn't resist anymore. Only thing now is getting root access again.

[Dell Streak 7] keith.valdez:
Did you flash the newest ROM and are you a tmo custy or an at&t custy? BTW... if you read through the entire 3.2 post you'd have found the solution to your problems was setting the APN under Wireless and Networks.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Did that get fixed? I heard people were still having apn issues even after manually setting them. Guess I'm off to wade through that thread!
[Dell Streak 7] tt350z:
I am with T-Mobile and I did this last night using the 3.2 post nothing more and the phone was already root with the 2.2.2 upate.

I looked over the APN post but doesnt really explain lot or give details. I know T-Mobile has 3 APN's that they use so maybe I should call them and get the information for all 3 ? I am assuming one is for MMS and the other two are phone/Data ?

Need some help.

Just got a new DINC2 that came with GB. I simply wanted to take the initial backup. I tried to go into hboot - Recovery, got a flash saying updating sw from VZW. I then got the phone icon, stuck, pulled the battery. I was able to boot the phone normally, but I get No Service. I can't turn on Mobile Network. Thoughts? I am not rooted. I just wanted to take a backup of my initial system.

---- update -----

False alarm, I just read the antenna was built into the back cover. Dumb!!

So how can I take an initial nand backup of my system out of the box? All the root articles I read thus far are for Froyo units. I have GB.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bradsinram:
Wrong section, you need root to make a nandroid, gb phones can only be rooted with an xtc clip, hope that answered your questions :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
Apparently some people are claiming success with downgrading to froyo through an ruu and then rooting. I don't know though, haven't tried. And questions should always go in general.
[Galaxy S II General] Yajirobe:
I'm wondering if anyone knows the number of digits the unlock code for the GS2 should be.....I received a code from cellunlocker.net and due to poor instructions and myself being uncontrollably impatient to use the phone on telus put in only part of the code..or so i beleive.

They sent the code in this format NETWORK:=48684XXX;PROVIDER:=69599XXX;SUBNET:=85256XXX;DEFREEZE:=05193XXX.

I've used 2 attempts and REALLY want to know its right before i enter it again, so i'm wondering how many of these 4 sets of numbers do I enter?

Sorry for the double post but I wanted to make sure it wasn't overlooked.
[Galaxy S II General] cloneman1:
how much do they charge?
[Galaxy S II General] Yajirobe:
$39.99. cheaper than the $75 bell wants to charge so I dove in.
[Galaxy S II General] gthompson75:
unlock

Which code are you putting in, also did you get from cellunlock.net or was it cellunlocker.net
[Galaxy S II General] Yajirobe:
Oh, it was cellunlocker.net.

I tried putting the first 8 and the second 8 seperately once each...

I'm too afraid to try putting all 4 sets of numbers in now until I know for sure since I only have 1 attempt left. ; ; Stressin' me out lol
[Galaxy S II General] gthompson75:
what code are you putting in, provider, network or what. It is a 8 digit code,
[Galaxy S II General] Yajirobe:
I've tried entering NETWORK:=48684XXX THEN PROVIDER:=69599XXX

Both seperately, making my 2 attempts. I havent tried subnet or unfreeze.

I'm thinking i might have to enter network, provider and subnet together? Or should I include unfreeze as well?
[Galaxy S II General] Mshoss:
I got mine from them to, tariable customer service i called to cancel the order and the their amazing phone dropped my call 3 times, and theirs still charging me for the code, bull****.

Anyways you want the network unlock buy its self, I hate to say if you did not tape you trying to put it in you have just wasted 40 dollars!
[Galaxy S II General] Yajirobe:
Ok... this is my admission of temporary retardation.

I mistook my sim-lock for the network lock key. fml lol

I've figured this out, the network code worked, thanks for the help guys.
[Galaxy S II General] Yajirobe:
I have to admit that everything about that website makes it look like its a very elaborate scam eg: The 800 number goes to an obviously computer generated female voice, rings 5-6 times and disconnects. (this was during business hours) + Many seemingly fake testimonials and my code took 3 hours longer than the longest average time but it turned out ok.
[Galaxy S II General] Slim514:
I seem to have a problem here.

So I entered my IMEI (yes I triple checked, it is the correct one). Selected Samsung manufacturer, then I selected Galaxy SII model and then selected Bell network.

I received the similar email as you, Yajirobe, and I turned the phone off, inserted my Rogers SIM card and then obviously turned on the phone.

I inserted the NETWORK 8 digits values and it still says that what I entered is unsuccessful.

Yajirobe, may I ask what you mean by "I mistook my sim-lock for the network lock key"?
[Galaxy S II General] robbiev80:
You guys actually paid to unlock your phone??? :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] aalna:
Honestly, I have tried cellunlocker.net many times, and it worked flawlessly each time. One thing I dont get is I always got a SIM unlock code, threw it in there and bam wham thank you ma'am.

What are you guys facing exactly. I used the service b4 on 3 mt4g and on sgs vibrant. Just got a Virgin brand sgs2. Please advise.
[Galaxy S II General] miniflight:
Some people don't want to root n flash to void their warranty.

OP, I am glad it worked for you, I was gonna offer to give you the money back if it failed lol...cus I recommended u to use it.

Anyways cellunlocker.net does look like a scam site but they do work. They are posting its business on howardforums.com (good mobile website) and haven't got any troubles yet so I know they are reliable.

Also I would like to know what you mean by " "I mistook my sim-lock for the network lock key"?" too, lol I didn't quite get that either.
[Galaxy S II General] Slim514:
So you're saying you've never get the same format as Yajirobe and I did? (NETWORK:=48684XXX THEN PROVIDER:=69599XXX, etc)?
[Galaxy S II General] miniflight:
I think it is something new they are doing, I never get soo many numbers either before.

[Galaxy S II General] Yajirobe:
I had my telus sim card set with a pin, but the sim lock screen looked different on the galaxy than on my milestone. Pin locks are set up by the user only and are off by default, which makes it even more silly that I didnt catch on for so long. lol

Way to tell the difference for sure is if there is an unlock button and a dismiss or skip option as the sim lock cannot be skipped.
[Galaxy S II General] Slim514:
I'm still unsuccessful to unlock my phone! I emailed and sent videos to cellunlocker.net and they keep giving me alternative insctructions to unlock and none work. I may expect a reimbursement soon.

In the mean time, I just rooted my Android and installed that Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock. It says that it would not find the unlock code!

I don't know what else to do!:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
Try Galaxy_S unlock instead. You'll cry in fear after step 2, but those tears will turn into tears of joy shortly after ;)

[Q] Rooting Bell SG2 Help (Superoneclick hanging)

Hi there guys, i need some serious help, I'm pulling my hear out and im at wits end.

i've rooted the phone using:

CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4

CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG2-v4.1-CWM4

i tried both with similar results.

Loading the PDA is not a problem, when it comes to the rooting using superoneclick this is where the issue happens.

I'm using:

SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse.zip

when i run this application it says:

"running psneuter" and locks up, it does not go through with the root.

can anyone please help me with this issue? ive been trying due diligence to find an answer with little luck.
