[Thunderbolt General] Greywolf66:
I'm running Th3ory's GING3R3DTH3ORY V6.2 on mine and my wife's thunderbolt, and haven't had this problem. One thing I've heard mentioned is to make sure you turn off fast boot and then do a reboot. Otherwise try re-flashing after a full wipe.
[Thunderbolt General] Night_Watcher:
I had the issue once and just powered down... Pulled the battery and put back in and rebooted has not happened since...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
I've seen several posters mentioning that their GPS TTFF (time to first fix) is much better with the new V21e ROM. That's not my experience. When I wait a couple of hours after my last fix, it's still taking me around 90 seconds -- which is around the time it generally used to take me with the original ROM (although sometimes it was much worse; I'll be happy if it just always takes 90 seconds or so consistently!).

I've also noticed that the GPS subset of the hidden menu (1809#*999#) is somewhat different from the stock Froyo ROM: "Use Extended Conf File" wasn't there before, there were more choices in the "System Settings" section, etc. I've also not been able to get "Get Position" actually to get a position -- the GPS icon flashes, but nothing seems to happen.

And, finally, GPS Test still shows the ridiculously high S/N numbers and below-the-horizon satellite positions.

Any comments from the people who are getting good GPS performance? What kinds of settings do you have for SLP Server, etc.?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Could one or more of you folks who have apparently seen improvement on your GPS TTFF tell me what your system parameters are set to? I just had a 182-second TTFF, so no improvement at all for me.

Specifically, in the hidden menu GPS test, what are the following values? (My current ones are listed in parens.)

Use Extended Conf File (unchecked)

System Settings => Use XTRAS (unchecked)

System Settings => SUPL Setting => SLP Server Setting (T-mobile)

System Settings => SUPL Setting => APN Setting (T-Mobile US/epc.tmobile.com)

Also, if you go into Get Position and select "Start" from the menu, does anything happen? (With the stock Froyo ROM, it showed the data stream from the GPS radio and eventually got a fix; with the V21e ROM, nothing at all happens for me.)

Finally, in the Get Position screen, if you select "Delete aiding data" from the menu and then try to get a fix (using GPS Status, GPS Test, or the application of your choice), do you still get the near-instantaneous TTFF you had previously seen?

I do get very quick fixes, but only within a short while after having previously used the GPS when the ephemeris data is still fresh in the receiver. Are you getting these near-instantaneous fixes after not using the GPS for several hours?
[Motorola Droid X2] ChrisPappas:
I've been trying to make a couple of modifications to framework-res.apk and I've been having a lot of trouble. I've bootlooped the DX2 more than a few times (and was able to recover with the recently released SBF).

I've tried making one change, I've tried signing the file, I've tried not signing it, I've tried different compression levels on the zip, all with no luck. The one time I got my apk into the phone with my change on board (I verified that it was there) my change was ignored by the phone. (I've been trying to replace /res/drawable-hdp/zz_moto_list_texture_bg.png to change the default list background from the light gray to black.)

Has anyone been successful making modifications to this file in a DX2? If so, how did you do it?

What did program did you zip it with?

What was the compression set to?

Did you sign the file? If so, with what program and key?

What method did you use to drop framework-res.apk back into the phone?

Are there any files that should not be modified? (I've heard to leave the ".9" files alone.)

Thanks,

Chris
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
I've been trying to do the exact same thing and haven't got too far. I'm doing dev stuff thru Ubuntu and it seems to be very friendly along with gimp. I've actually been able to drag and drop replacement files without extracting the apk but haven't been able to flash it inside a theme. I haven't actually tried just replacing the framework.

Staying tuned...
[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
You can make a theme at uot.dakra.lt and flash the .zip file to your phone.. jus upload your framework-res.apk to the site once you make it, but anyway, they modify the file and it worked for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
Yes I've been using this but it's not really set up for blur. we're talking about going deeper than UOT can reach with current software.
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
You can recompile and decompile with apkmanager, but its not without some hiccups. First, it compresses the resources.arsc which unlike the rest of the apk needs to be decompressed. To fix this I pull it out then with 7zip I add it back to the framework-res archive with zip as the format and store as compression. That fixes the boot-loops. Even after that there's been some minor problems with it recompiling certain .xml a little goofy.

But at least it doesnt cause a boot loop.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] emcmurphy:
Is it possible to rotate the screen while the TF is docked? Auto-rotate appears to be disabled, such that even if the setting is enabled, the screen will not rotate when turned. If I lock the screen in anything but the "right-side-up" landscape mode prior to docking, it just reverts when placed in the dock. I am looking for the ability to have the screen locked in "upside-down" landscape mode when docked.

Odd as this may sound, if it is not possible, this may be a deal-breaker with me and my new TF. I am in the Navy on a submarine and I want to mount the TF upside down in my rack (bed) above me so that it turns in to flip-down screen that I can stream movies from my external hd. Any ideas?

I read in one post that the auto-rotate was disabled while docked in the most recent update, can anyone confirm this? I will be willing to revert or run a custom rom if this feature is possible in another version.

I am running the latest stock 3.1 update. Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
auto rotate did used to work for me while docked before the last update. Not a big deal really but one thing I noticed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] emcmurphy:
Thanks, but I can't get the screen to rotate while docked no matter what version I try.

Flashed to Prime 1.5 since it was based on the previous 8.4.4.5 - no go.

Flashed to stock 8.4.4.5 - still a no go.

I ensured auto-rotate was enabled when docked, and it would not rotate.

I locked the screen "upside-down" and then docked, but it still reverted back.

If the previous version allowed this, any ideas on what i m doing wrong?

Can anyone else confirm that their screen rotated while docked?

Is there any mod that can enable this feature?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] maddogxda:
I too would appreciate a way of changing the orientation while docked or while locked to a certain orientation by an application.

You can installe the update and it woun't mess anything up, exept you loose the Root.

You can also flash the whole ROM from here.

But remember to do a Nandroid backup first - just in case if you need to go back ;-)

Thanks for your answer, the problem is that i have tried to install the update, both OTA and with recovery (install zip from sd card), but both attempts failed. The cause could be the root from what i'm reading on other update threads. I already have a recovery backup so i'm OK.

[Galaxy S II General] nit407:
I have a few questions regarding Kies, Contacts, and USB mode to all the pro's out there -

I only get the following option when I connect the phone to the PC Settings --> USB Mode--> USB Mass Storage. Is this normal or should there be more options offered such as - Kies, PC Studio, Mass Storage? The Galaxy S (Captivate) offered a prompt as to which mode you wanted to connect the phone in whenever it was plugged in. I don't get any option like that. As soon as the device is plugged in (in idle mode) a window pops- up --> MTP Application - Connected (Press the home key to quit Samsung Kies)

Is there a specific way I need to connect the phone in to Kies? Kies displays only 2 options to me -

Add file to GT-I9100

Add folder to GT-I9100

I have tried 2 different computers, but its the same on both of them. I am using Kies version 2.0.1.11053_99 (which according to Kies is the latest version)

Display Options under Contacts shows only Phone and Google. it does not display SIM. I have already reset the phone once. Do I need to do something else? Since I am new to the forum, I am unable to add any screenshot links. But if someone can help me, I would gladly PM them the screenshots. Or you could look at photobucket for my album under nit407.

Thanks for your help.

[Galaxy S II General] chestvrg:
Ok OP, in order for Kies to see the GSII you need to be on kies mode.

Make sure first this box is unchecked, go to: Settings=>Applications=>Development=>USB Debugging make sure this box is unchecked and then re connect your GSII into your USB cable and open Samsung Kies, it will recognize it immediately.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] Croak:
And make sure you're using the TWLauncher, not a 3rd party launcher.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
You can not add contacts directly to the SIM card, neither can see them unless you have copied them to Phone memory/Google. But I have heard that the SIM option is now included in latest 2.3.4 firmware, but as I am yet to test it can't confirm.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] nit407:
Thanks dude. Any ideas on my other questions/problems? I am running everything stock including the launcher and the USB Debugging mode is "unchecked". Is there a specific version of Kies that needs to be used?

My KIES doesn't work anymore ive asked the question a few times but no one seems to know why, ive done what you've said (Settings=>Applications=>Development=>USB Debugging), ive tried on 3 different browsers, a couple of different internet connections, turned off firewall,etc,etc but every time it just times out when i try and connect on my laptop, it has only ever worked once for me, im running cognition 1.15.

I don't find KIES a necessity but it would be nice if it worked (and to find out how to get it working!!)
[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
I dont know if it is the rom problem or what,,,but many users with stock rom also had this problem,,,,just uninstall kies,,,then delete the remaining kies files(there are files left even after uninstallation in the kies folder),,then reinstall the latest kies,,,conecct ur phone to ur pc(usb debugging unchecked)it ll reinstall ur phone's drivers,,and all should be fine then.

there are many complaints of kies not working fine on laptops,,,but if u use a desktop it ll definitely work...

Hope that helps.

Thanks guitarmafia. I am trying this on my desktop now. Regarding firmware upgrade, when I click on "Check for Updates", I get a message "Connection to Server Failed".

When you guys are connecting to Kies, do you chose from an option as to how you want the phone to connect?

U should use Odin for the firmware upgrade....Kies alwayz had issues,,,for some it works fine,,while for others it never worked,,,IMO it has something to do with Win7,,,some ppl claimed it works fine on XP SP3....I tried a million times on Win7 to upgrade but it alwayz failed,,,,moreover it may brick ur phone(u cant alwayz be lucky)...u can claim warranty,,,,,but why to take risK??

I have been playing with some of the framework. It is possible to manipulate the resources so that the bar is removed. The issue is doing so programatically. We would have an event handler to remove the bar only when needed. And also, turn the bar back on when needed. I'll say its a PITA experimenting with the sysbar. That 'back' button is a necessity.

Seriously, its absurd that I have to watch videos with that stupid menu bar at the bottom. Even Amazon's stock gallery app does it! Yet somehow their own streaming video does not (and the streaming video appears to use the full screen resolution, not just dim the bar).

All you need to do is have it show up with all of the video controls when you tap the center of the screen - sorta like how amazon's own streaming video app works.

Presumably, any app or video player could be written or modified to allow this capability, I would think.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
http://digitizor.com/2011/07/21/android-malware/

Android has had its fair share of malware problems. Whenever malware are detected, Google reacts swiftly and remove them. However, according to security researcher Neil Daswani, around 8% of the apps on the Android market are leaking private user data.

Neil Daswani, who is also the CTO of security firm Dasient, says that they have studied around 10,000 Android apps and have found that 800 of them are leaking private information of the user to an unauthorized server. Neil Daswani is scheduled to present the full findings at the Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas which starts on July 30th.

The Dasient researchers also found out that 11 of the apps they have examined are sending unwanted SMS messages.

Google needs to take charge

This malware problem on Android has become too much. One of the main reason that we see malicious apps in the market is because of the lack of regulation in the apps that get into the Android Market.

Sure, the lack of regulation can be good. It means that developers can make their apps without worrying if Google will accept their apps or not. It fits into the pre-existing application distribution model where anyone can develop and publish their own apps.

However, this comes at a price - the malware problem. Yes, most of the problems with these malicious apps can be avoided if only users read the permission requirements of the apps. But, what percentage of the users actually read the permission requirements of all the apps they download?

I think that it is time that Google make approval of the apps a requirement before it gets into the Market. They do not need to do it like Apple, but a basic security check before an app gets on the market will be nice.

If nothing is done about and this problem is allowed to grow, it will end up killing the platform.

This article is very true in sense of lacking of control on big G part. My friend developed an app and he was able to get it into market almost instantly. I was very shocked to find that no scanning or checking was done.

Therefore, it's a risk that we take everyday to use these apps, specially, custom ROMs because who knows what it installed really. Users just need to be aware of their action, and don't use bank apps on rooted devices, or corporate email on rooted devices, or email yourself passwords to your online banking from your rooted devices. My thought is that, if it's out there then somebody can get it these days with all the technologies.
