[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i never get above edge in my house. i'm on the border of buffalo right by lake erie. i can see canada, so i'm also on the edge of tmo's signal. outside my home, i would sometimes get 4g.. and that is still the same. throughout the city, i get 4g most everywhere. maybe it improves others signal strength. and maybe it improves battery life. but my phone is plugged in alot, so hard to comment on that. all in all, i guess i answered none of your question lol. sorry.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
Lol, thanks anyways!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Just do a Nandroid backup of your current config. Restore a stock Nandroid. Update using the LG updater. Then restore your CM7 backup.

Time consuming process but it'd work. You'd be back using your existing CM7 config and the new Baseband.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodSkin:
so i have 2 cappys. ones fine, ones hard bricked. when updating using kies there is a slight moment when kies is downloading the file from the net. what if i were to swap them out at this time? im not quite sure how the boot loader works and if doing this would hard push a loader to it or if jtag is the only option. any theories on this before i actually try it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I'd assume it would be a no-go, as the hard bricked one can't even reach a download mode state (which it would need to get something from Kies).

Unless I'm completely off base, JTAG is the only option for the hard bricked phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
^^ Yep... There's a protocol called Loke which Odin and Heimdall speak with. If you don't have Loke on the phone and Odin or Heimdall on on the computer, you're not going to establish communications.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodSkin:
ok, i didnt think it would work, but the only dumb question is one that goes unasked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Good news is that jtag only costs about $50. Better than buying a new phone.

If you refer on this, the difference is on the UMTS band frequencies and slightly on the dimensions.

My wife made me get a Status today for her, and it looks exactly the same. Now I need root to get the AT&T crapware off the phone and free up some space. Compared to my Captivate, this phone is severely cramped for storage when accessing the market. Beautiful keyboard HTC, but would it have killed you to throw some more internal memory in there?

[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Do You guys suffer from it? I just noticed it like two days ago, that there's some obvious burning in signs after not so lenghty use... Luckily those go away after some time with screen off, but... Should slcd do that??
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Perhaps it's on the inside of your retina's? :D
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Har har har... :D

No, but seriously... When I was chating on skype for a good hour, skype logo from top left corner got burned in for quite a while, also top bar icons have left a slight shade.

Not too fussied about it, but it is somehow worrying and I hope it won't cause any long term problems.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
:D

I've not noticed it myself (well not yet anyway!) ......although I always choose the black themes for everything in a pathetic attempt to minimize battery use....(are there any theme options within skype?). It should ideally timeout the screen like the phone dialer does using the proximity sensor....

Perhaps as a workaround trying turning your brightness down to minimum possible before any future skype sessions....
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
Hmm... Isn't it that blacks are saving batt only on amoleds? :rolleyes:

Anyway... For now it isn't permanent, so I'm cool...
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yeah you are right having a black background doesn't save any battery,but it does save a lot of battery on AMOLED

but does anyone know if changing the brightness change the battery consumption significantly?i remember reading somewhere that it only has a very small effect

if you see any signs of burn in again(which should be very rare) turn off the screen for a day or two it should go off completely except in extreme cases
[HTC Desire S] Rueben_:
I have this problem as well, the time, battery etc in the status bar could be burnt in for up to 4 minutes. Its a falt with SLCD.

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1090516.html
[HTC Desire S] bronx:
well... so far it is not permanent, so I'm not bothered much, but yeah... the problem is real.
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
Just tried to flash my phone to get rooted 2.3.3 but i can't enter flash mode. I've powered of my phone. Then hold down the "back button" and plug in the USB-cable. The thing is that there is this thing popping up on my PC saying i need drivers for "s1Boot Download", which i can't found (i didn't got a cd with the phone either). What do i do?
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
First off make sure you have Flashtools Version 0.2.9.1. Then install SEUS this should install the required drivers since SEUS needs you to connect your phone in flash mode the same way flashtools does.

Or go into your flashtools folder then in the drivers folder and run ggsetup-2.2.0.10 and i think that will do the same job?

Or install pc companion off your phone, Settings > Sony Ericsson > Connectivity > Tick the install Pc companion box (no disc came in any box). When you connect your phone to the pc it will auto install pc companion. Make sure to untick after it has installed.

Personally i would install SEUS (to get the drivers) plus if you ever semi brick your phone (unlikely to happen) or you want to reinstall the software (back to stock) SEUS is the best.
[Xperia Play General] _terror_:
Thanks for the quick respons, will try that now! I'll get back to yah!
[Xperia Play General] Alexander33:
Or in the Flashtool folder you have drivers folder and install ggsetup this will fix it

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anantshri:
as per my understanding of reading all dev threads in this regard..

bootloader do perform signature check.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
Yeah, the bootloader can be patched as it is software. All phones have bootloaders that signature check whatever they are booting. What I want to know is if the bootloader is signature checked by the hardware.
[General Topics] Phateless:
I've noticed the last few days and it bugs me. I hardly have anything in picasa and nothing had changed so wtf is synchronizing?

This happens on two phones, same google account, both on cm7 nightly builds. One is a Vibrant and the other is my glacier.

Any ideas?
[General Topics] lambomanx1:
Because it has to sync, even if there is nothing there; the point is that they are syncronised, the same, even if they have nothing there.

Just disable it if you don't use it :)
[General Topics] Phateless:
It's not a quick sync that disappears, it's an ongoing sync that lasts hella long.
[General Topics] lambomanx1:
But can't you disable it at all? Through the settings?
[General Topics] Phateless:
Yes but I want to be able to view my picasa albums in the gallery.
[General Topics] lambomanx1:
Ah, I took "hardly anything" as nothing xD My bad...!

Have you tried disabling and re-enabling Picasa from your phone? Basic thing I know, but this has worked for me in the past :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wesley 23:
Okay, so when I had 2.1 I rooted my device, after this I used sqlite to mess with the settings.db and allow me to install 3rd party apps. I then updated to froyo and lost the root privelages but the settings are still the same. Now my hardware is messing up and I'm looking to return this under the warranty. What should I do about my settings?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I'd recommend the one-click Odin back to stock combined with an internal SD card wipe (after you've cleared your stuff to a safe place).

That should put you back in as clean, untouched of a state as you can get.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wesley 23:
How should I go about clearing the internal sd? Sorry, I'm kind of new to this stuff.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wesley 23:
Should I just do the format under the settings on the device?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZBigT:
The three button recovery on the phone has options to format the internal SD card as well. After you've flashed back to stock 2.1 power the phone down. Then power back on and hold down the power button and the vol + and - buttons until the ATT boot screen appears, blinks off and appears again. Then you should be in a screen with blue text. Use the vol buttons to choose and the power button to select. Do the data wipes and format the SD card. It should then be just like new as far as the software is concerned.

I'm using an LG plug for a non-7 LG Optimus phone (3D/C900/7Q), which seems to work ok. It's 5.1V compared to 4.8V on my european charger, but I checked and the device doesn't get too hot and it charges fine AFAICS.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] TheNineZero:
Mine came from Handtec with a 2 pin Euro type charger, they just sent me a travel plug to go with it. Will any micro USB charger not work? I use whatever's lying around (HTC and Nokia) and they seem to do the job fine.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] EnderPsp:
The original charger is called "LG STA-U14UD" and/or "LG STA-U13UD"

Looks like this:

And is available apparently from ebay sellers like this and this.

Here and here are examples. No affiliation.

Also for completeness, there's one on Amazon but it doesn't have a USB cable plug, it's wired:

Mine arrived from Germany to the UK with the LG STA--U13ER European 2 pin charger. The seller had included a two pin to UK adapter. Works OK and saves me taking an adapter when I work in Europe.

thanx
[XPERIA X8 General] Mr. Hat:
Well I've tried xGin 5.4 after doing a full wipe and i got about 800-900, so maybe the "problem" isn't in our ROMs, maybe there are just updated statistics of quadrant, because I haven't noticed any slowdown of my phone.

Standard:~850

Advanced:~1100

Hi,

I am having an extremely annoying problem with my phone.

Whenever Im on calls and i receive a text, it vibrates, while im on call. And whats annoying is, that the person on the other end hears the annoying buzzing sound as well its irritating for me as well.

Is there a way to stop the phone from vibrating for notification while im on calls ?

Im not talking about changing vibrations for profiles, just stop vibrating while im on a call !
[LG Optimus Black] gt4329b:
Another option - also not free, but ridiculously easy: Kill The Duck. (disclosure: I'm the dev)

Monitors phone state and disables vibrate notifications when there's an active call, and restores the prior vibrate notification settings when the call is over. That's it. That's all it does. Period.

After being driven crazy by this "feature" of my HTC Incredible for over a year, I figured it was time I did something about it :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluezio:
Hi everyone,

I'm running Oxygen 2.1.6 (mostly Gingerbread 2.3.4 AOSP with some minor modifications) with a Netarchy 1.3.7 kernel, using the included performance options with the smartass governor set to 400MHz min / 1200MHz max and the suggested undervolt settings from Proton.

It's been pretty stable, but sometimes while the screen is off the SIM is locked, and it asks me to enter the PIN again. I don't really want to disable the PIN check altogether, though.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Did you manage to solve it, and how?

Thanks in advance :-).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
As far as I can tell, the SIM is not disabled or locked or anything. The PIN input screen is a result of the radio software crashing. Therefore, there is nothing to be done except wait for an update. In my case the frequency of crashes was lower after updating radio from kb3 to kd1.

For each time that happened, you will likely find a file named "radio_dump_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.bin" on the sdcard partition.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluezio:
Interesting. I originally had KB1 on this device, but I updated to KB3 when flashing NSCollab.

Yup, there's a couple of them. Well, I'm off to try KD1. Thanks for the help!

What tweaks are there out there for the Arc?

2. There is some cm7 tweaks in freexperia, can you use thoose hacks on rooted stock?

3. On some rom there is tweaked sqllite tricks, oc gpu etc, any use for thoose in the Arc?

4. I've searched but cant find, anyone with some advice?

This is, more or less, the same hardware as Desire HD, why so few tricks (or me not able to find anyone...)?

[Verizon Droid Charge] StoneCold X:
Within the last week, the battery life on my Charge has gone to hell. I used to go a full day plus before my battery died. Now I am lucky to make it through the work day without it dying.

Today, my phone has been unplugged for 3 1/2 hours and already down to 45%, and that has been with light use ( a couple of email and texts and one phone call).

What could cause this drastic change? I am on a stock Charge, and I haven't changed anything recently to affect the battery life.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BigJT6-8:
I had this same thing start happening and from what I can tell looking at Watchdog the gallery is burning up the CPU, 60%+ utilization of the CPU and I hadn't even used it since restarting. I turned off syncing with Picasa to see if that helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] StoneCold X:
I did a factory reset, and it fixed my battery life problem. After 1 day and 1 hour, I am still at 26% battery. Much, much better.
[Networking] socrated13:
Hi all,

I will be studying abroad in Europe this fall, staying in Sweden, and am looking around for a balance mobile plan. I have an unlocked Captivate so I have bands covered for the majority of Europe -- I will be looking for a sim-only plan.

I'm not a heavy user so texting/calling are not my priority. However a decent data plan would be ideal, and be gold if I could use it across the Eurozone.

Does anybody have experience with European mobile carriers? Recommendations? Advice?
[Networking] socrated13:
No one is from Europe? :/
[Networking] floating_point_unit:
You'll need to do research specific to your country yourself, but as far as I know, it's quite good here.

For example in my country (poland) I have pre-paid plan where for 50 PLN I "upload" into my account I get 50 days of unlimited internet. And the 50 PLN is still to use on SMS/calling.

P.S.: I'm afraid there may not be good, affordable data plan that you can use all across euroland.
[Networking] thanatos87:
info on uk

hi!

I live in the uk and here the main carriers are o2, vodafone, orange, t-mobile and 3.

they all have a pay and go sim where you put £5, £10 on and have certain things like 500mb of data with texts/calls etc have a look at their website and see if any are ok for you!

i hope it helps!

cheers

Rob
[Networking] TheMadMoose:
If I were you I would change the title to Sweedish carriers, Europe is not a country it's a bit like me asking for anyone from North America to tell me about Mexican carriers lol!
[Networking] Aymara:
That's it ... something like a flat rate for all over Europe doesn't exist.

You have to get a SIM from a carrier in that country, where you will mainly stay and it's very likely, that a prepaid card will be the best/cheapest choice.

Let's take myself as an example:

I have a prepaid card from T-Mobile in Germany, which is the cheapest choice for my needs. If I need data connections, I have two choices. Standard is, that I pay 1 Euro for a day flatrate. Alternatively I can book a monthly data flatrate for 10 Euro.

If I travel e.g. to the Netherlands I will be connected to T-Mobile Netherlands and have to pay higher roaming fees, e.g. 2 Euro data day flatrate. For day trips this is acceptable, especially when mainly used for navigation, but if I would make holidays, let's say 2 weeks in spain, I would buy a prepaid SIM in Spain, because roaming fees can empty your wallet very quickly :D

So you first have to look for a carrier in Sweden, where you mainly will stay and check their local and roaming conditions. If you stay longer in other Europian countries, it's a good idea to check the carriers and their prepaid offers in that countries too.
[LG Optimus 2x] kruppin:
Just saw on the g2x forum that official gingerbread is avalible for it. That hopefully means we shouldn't be that long after. :) Or, is it T-mobile that's making that firmware? Anyhow, it shouldn't be that hard to make it work on our phone. :) Atleast till LG releases theres.

Anyway, what's your thoughts? Should someone try to fix this for our device? Should be relativity easy. And if it is tmo that's making the FW, then I guess mkv support and such is gone. Pauls Gr1 is probably better in every way except maybe stability, which should interest someone atleast. :)
