[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] driverx125:
I just got my device 2 days ago i was having singal issues so i took it to verizon they exchanged it..When they exchanged it it came with 2.2.1 and i had to pull sd card and put it in airplane mode till i got home and rooted it and have just installed miui
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
I pulled the sd card and the sim card. Went into the HBoot and did a reset. It still pulled the update so Im not really sure what its doing when it says updating software.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
What if you did a hard reset with the battery cover off since that is essentially the antenna?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
It was off. Pulled SD card and SIM. I hit factory reset from the HBOOT white screen and then it boots to the HTC bootlogo. And a black screen that shows the OTA logo going to the phone is up and says updating software. Before the phones even booted.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bangdrum:
I was meaning like get a different phone activated and do it while it's not activated
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
Another idea that may or may not be easy for people is going somewhere that isn't on the Verizon network. I know that the basement of my work doesn't have a signal and when I did a factory reset about a month ago it let my phone boot and skip the activation since it didn't get a signal.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fasinationinmotion:
It does the update before it even boots and prompts me to activate.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
hboot

What hboot version does it show?

Have you tried to clear cash in hboot?

I think if you had a standby phone to swich service to you could get by with getting s-off.

Just make sure the standby phone keeps your data plan, or you might get shoved into a teared plan...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezuk:
Hi there,

I have a T-Mobile Vibrant running CM7 stable. When I try to switch on the WiFi radio, it pauses for a moment, then just writes "error".

This also happened with the stock t-mobile ROM so it's not a CM issue.

Any ideas on what may be the problem? Do you think the actual hardware may be broken?

Cheers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
Reboot?

If that doesn't fix it then reflash
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDcdn:
This happens on mine too. Wifi will take up to 30 seconds to turn on and then fail with Error. Sometimes I have to do it multiple times for it to work.

I also have messages (texts) that fail to send with full bars. Completely stock btw.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
for you, sounds like you need to do an efs clear using odin. First, make a backup of your /efs contents (this will allow you to unlock your phone later and keep you IMEI). Then, odin to whatever build you want, but make sure you select the box "clear efs data". this should fix that.

As for the op, sounds like a hardware issue. You can try the clear efs data, but i doubt that will help. i'd suggest a warranty exchange.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDcdn:
Ive yet to do any rom flashing, ironically to prevent things like this from happening. I figure that an obvious problem such as consistant wifi failure would have been caught in Bell/Samsung testing. Would you stil recommend a reflash? Ive been on the latest froyo update ever since it came out. Maybe the upcoming gb will fix it. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
i had 3 vibrants (tmo-us) that had faulty modems. it got to the point where i couldn't get anything from calls to texts (i don't have a data plan) until i restarted my phone, it would get stuck in between airplane mode on and off, and even after reboot i had usable signal for 3 minutes. it's part of hardware failure, and the best thing to do is use your warranty to get it fixed for free right now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezuk:
Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.

No vendor warranty I'm afraid -- I got the device off ebay (I knew about the issue, but thought it might be software-related).

Is this something I could get fix in a lab, you think? Or only by Samsung?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Rey Odin back to jfd with clear efs checked and try that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezuk:
Oops, lost you there, sorry. I know of Odin, but not where to get it or exactly what it does. I also know what "Clear EFS" means but not sure what JFD is.

I'm not a total noob; I'm familiar with ADB and have reflashed my own kernel using heimindall fronted.

Many thanks, again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Oooohhhh.... heimdall. I don't use it and I don't think heimdall has clear efs option.

But jfd is the stock build with all the basic info needed for your phones to come back from different filesystems. There are a lot of tutorials/links around here to help you out with that though.

I know this is probably not the right place to post this, but I am trying to figure out how to install a boot animation on my vibrant. I have cm7 installed and found a forum that helped but all I get is a black screen or the plain android logo. I used super manager and moved the zip file to /system/media. And set the permissions to what it told me to. When I reboot nothing. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I have become quite savvy with my phone. Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
You didn't exactly say this but, is the file named simply bootanimation.zip? Not talking down but trying to help. Other than that seems good.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttonsmalone:
The original file was named bootanimation.zip and I found a transformers one that I wanted and it was named bootanimation_transformers.zip. I tried leaving the file name, got the android logo. Renamed it and got a black screen.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
search the Vibrant forum on custom boot animations... download a flashable zip boot animation file from one of the great devs on here then swap your images in place of theirs, re-zip it and flash it with CWM... worked for me like a charm!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttonsmalone:
One question, how do I replace images? Super manager won't let me unzip files. Do I need to use the PC for that or is there a simpler way?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
My vote goes to PC
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndhr3d:
I used PC for everything as well...

Unzipped and re-zipped with 7zip and modded images with Gimp...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttonsmalone:
Thanks, I will give that a try when I get home and let you if it worked. Just to maybe clarify. Would I have to unzip both the original file and the new file and replace the new files with the original file and rezip and put back? Cause that is what I am going to try.

I have a PC in the US and a netflix account, currently I'm on (a long) vacation in a different country where netflix doesn't work.

I want to install some VPN solution on my PC there and watch netflix on my transformer, is there an app that can connect to such vpn and direct all/some traffic through there?

What should I install on my PC? OpenVPN? I don't suppose hamachi can work? I already use that...

Thanks

Try strongvpn account. Set it up on your eepad and watch netflix without need for PC. Youll need to install netflix app on your eeepad of course.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sancmat:
I use playon

It works great. A little expensive but you get hulu, netflix, cbs.com, and many others.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galtom:
I use hideipvpn (see below), currently on iPad but as soon as next gen of Android tablets will see the daylight I am moving on to one of them (preferably Transformer 2 - anything but Tegra 2 ;-) ).

Plus I would like to use netflix app like on iPad - without the need for any hocus - pocus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igot6strings:
Proxpn is great. If you subscribe to premium you can use their pptp servers without any extra software. You just add a VPN in honeycombed settings. $10 gets you a bunch of US servers, UK and maybe more.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Long press on the menu button always brings the keyboard back...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Farsquidge:
.

On all Android devices, there are long press shortcuts and key-combination shortcuts.

There are the actual Android shortcuts, and some vendors such as Archos install their own.

I have never found any vendor that gives a full description of their devices shortcuts so I always either search Google (in the case of key-combination shortcuts) for any, other users have found, and long press every button on my device (front and keyboard in all applications...) to find out whats there.

Still working on this new device but seems to be limited to basic Android at mo.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
I tried the long press. Maybe it is that web page's design. I have found that long pressing only lets you get to the keyboard in apps that require some kind of typing input. When I long press on that field, the keyboard never comes up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MartinFick:
Yeah, there are plenty of places where long press does not work.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy X7:
Hi there everyone! I'm looking for an app, which would open multi-rar files such as .r00, .r01, ect. and extract one big file from them.

I've tried several apps found on Android market, but non of them did what I want to do. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W0lfd:
Try AndroZip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
That doesn't even work well with single file .RARs, it's unrar code is too old.

It couldn't extract any of mine, other apps could.

But yeah, there is no good .RAR app at all out there at the moment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stra:
Did you try Unrar Pro (paid) or Unrar (free) ? Description for both of them reads that they can extract multi-part rar archives.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
I tried UnRarPro, the free version adds delay loops into the extraction to make you buy the "full" version, and buying the full version.... I don't, paying to use code that is open source (unrar sources are open source!) I define as total rip-off.

So, both hardly quallify for me as "good" - but for the occasional unraring the delay-looped version might just work fine.

I'll do my own eventually, just need to find some time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxy X7:
So there is actually no good .rar app in the whole Android market?

[Desire HD Accessories] JSLEnterprises:
false capacity like all the others...
[Desire HD Accessories] paul c:
Don't do it - it is literally impossible to stick so much capacity in a battery for the DHD. There are tons of fake batteries on eBay. The easiest way to confirm they're fake is the rating ;)

If you really want high capacity, the only option is the Mugen battery (1500mah), check the threads in this section.

Alternatively, try custom ROMs, since that will reduce battery consumption
[Desire HD Accessories] duynguyenle:
Please try and stay away from those "business" or "gold" battery, I had the misfortune of getting one of those a couple months ago, the battery last quite long initially, but after 3-4 cycles they lost about 80% of their runtime, tried to get a refund but it was some shady ebay vendor, don't bother with any of those batteries, not worth the trouble, not to mention any potential damage they might do to your DHD due to their shoddy construction and circuitry
[Desire HD Accessories] Grant Barker:
Yeah, I agree. If Mugen can't double the capacity without doubling the battery thickness - it probably can't be done. Last time I doubled the battery capacity, the battery was double the thickness.

The battery was excellent though and made by Mugen.(They even sent me 2 battery covers.)

[Desire HD Accessories] ziat007:
Sad and annoying

the battery lasting one day is ferly sad and annoying. I was talking about batteries that claim they have extra amps but unfortunetley they are 99% rip-off's if they are the same size.... the only solution is a external battery case pack...

a bad solution but at least some solution
[Desire HD Accessories] whiperhack:
In my opinion we know very well how we use our phones. The battery consumption varies from user to user, from rom to rom and from location to location. So.... i think only same user with same rom in same location can see and feel the difference.

My experience till now with this battery is very satisfactory. I think is at least 40% better than the stock one. The things i think about now is the life cycle of it.

Unfortunately until a new type of battery is presented the lithium ion batteries can't exceed 1300mAh for this tiny space we have. So anything above 1300mAh is fake

P.S. I wish there was some sort of control so they don't lie SO much and if they went that road someone could sue them according to some law

I am debating to get my first tablet. But having a hard time deciding if I should get the Xoom or the Asus Transformer. Or should I wait to see whats coming in the next few months...

I researched and seems that the negative reviews of the Xooms was when it first came out so wanted some feedbacks from new owners or reviewers.

Please help me decide.
[Xoom General] Kippui:
Rank these if your looking at the 32 gb models

1. Build quality

2. Updates

3. Price

if #2 is price then get the transformer

If you care about 1 + 2 then get the xoom.

If your worried about it being outdated then buy it from a place with a 90 day return policy for electronics
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I don't know how you can do better on price than $399. at Staples for the fabulous Xoom.
[Xoom General] hipertec:
Important to me is features and quality. I'm stuck between the two because I do like motorla products but the features on the TF looks great too. I've heard the TF has a better screen than the Xoom too. Is the correct?

Also, is there a retailer that has 90 return that can match the staples coupon?
[Xoom General] JanetPanic:
The screen quality on the transformer is better. Light bleed on the transformer is a bit of an issue however.
[Xoom General] playya:
Yea I just got the Asus today for a friend and paid $299 for that you really can't go wrong. The screen does look better and you have to ability to get the keyboard to make it a net book.

[Xoom General] Kippui:
:D

my post wasn't very descriptive xD maybe he might want the $399 - $100 transformer.

At Staples you can get the Xoom for $398. If build quality mean's anything to you then Xoom is a No Brainer. This AWESOME device does not feel cheap.
