[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnahc79:
Anyone else experiencing this ever since the 1.6.1 facebook update? I still see it with 1.6.2.

Prior to 1.6.1 youtube video links would always prompt which video player/browser you wanted to play the video until you set one as the default. I would select the youtube app and set it as default. Whenever I selected a youtube video link it would just start playing. I no longer see that prompt. I uninstalled/reinstalled facebook, cleared the data/cache on youtube...nothing.

edit: went to applications->manage applications->browser and selected clear defaults. now when I launch a video from fb I get a prompt...except youtube is not an option.

after clearing defaults, uninstall fb, reinstall fb...got youtube listed in the complete action list, set it as default, video launched in youtube. exited, tried the same video again and got a complete action prompt...youtube is not listed in the complete action prompt.

edit2: seems like a fb 1.6.1/1.6.2 issue. When I select Videos in the news feed, no youtube video links appear. Seems like the fb app does not recognize the youtube links as videos, only as a traditional link. As a result the youtube app is not listed in the complete action list. I could be wrong :).

edit3: ok, if anyone cares, lol....at the 'main' facebook app screen, the one with the news feed, profile, etc icons and a set of posted pics/videos near the bottom, if I select a video there, it brings up the person's post sharing the youtube video and when I select it the video launches through the youtube app. every time. Again, only when I select the video in a news feed does it never launch through the youtube app or list the youtube app in the complete action list.

Very minor drawback with the video not just playing right away, just wondering if anyone else is getting this behavior.

I'm going to into rom manager and downloading a kernal. (Tried many different ones) I download it and it boots into clockworkmod. It shows the motorola symbol then has a triangle with a yellow exclamtion point in it above the android guy. If i click the power button on the top it exits that and goes into reovery where it says:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
Finding update package....
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted

I checked the kernal, still the same.

I've tried this many times, all ending in the same way.

I tried flashing a different cwm, but it does the same thing.

I also tried downloading a kernal from the internet, and putting it on my sd card, then flashing that, but it fails.

I'm not sure what to do.

Any ideas?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandale:
The service in my phone has been going off & on lately like my bars would be all gone. so ive tried pretty much everything to do to fix it & now I just dont have service now. Is this because of the ATT & T-mobile merger? I live in Roswell GA if that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
1) no its not the merger

2) What rom/radio? Have you tried another? ("Tried everything" doesn't help us diagnose)

3) Did you simply call T-mobile and ask about a service outage in your area? Those do happen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandale:
My service is randomly back on now. & the funny thing is my other friend who has a G2 he is having the problem. Might just be something around the area. Have no clue what rom I'm on right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
It is more than likely just the area. Call T-mobile and ask about outages. And how do you not know what ROM is on your phone?? /headscratch
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandale:

I've been having that same issue on and off in The Bay area. Happens more often in San Francisco than East Bay. Sometimes I'll have to reboot my phone to get service again. Or the bars will turn white and sit there.

I'm running CM7 Nightly 153.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylar.sutton:
I updated to CM 7.1 RC1 last week and I've noticed a few times where the device has locked up after "going to sleep". Essentially, if I leave it on the coffee table with WiFi on and let the screen turn itself off, it won't respond when I return to it 20-30 minutes later. I have to force reboot via the power button + nook button.

Just curious if anyone else has noticed it or if it's just me. If it's a common issue I'll escalate to the CM folks, if it looks like just me I'll start the long and tedious process of uninstalling apps one by one. =)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkavanagh:
I have at least one every day. I figure its just a price I pay. Over all its the best rom I have used.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Only once have I had the issue you described. I leave WiFi on some of the times, but majority of the time I have it off when I am done using it. I know some people have mentioned using Tasker or something similar to turn WiFi off when screen goes off so that it can perhaps be prevented.

EDIT: I don't believe I can link yet on my account, but search General for the post "NC, CM7, Dalingrin OC kernel.. Sleep of Death" and start about post #6.

I'm facing random freezes when I open an application like tweetdeck or mercury and leave it updating from the internet. After some time, I'm not using it, it just stucks. To get it back to life I have to press for a few seconds the power button to shutdown it and then again to power it on. I have used different nightlies, voltages or governors but it is still here.

Now, I don't have freezes since yesterday that I really reduced the voltages but I'm not sure if my problem is solved.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
not sure if anyone has told you that what you describes is called:

Sleep of death.

Felt to be possibly related to wifi being on all the time. In wifi settings, go to advanced change it wifi to off when screen off.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkavanagh:
I'm sorry. I use the white list feature and only check mark the current application that I want to use and allow to access the internet. It keeps everything else from using background data.

For example right now I selected xda and updated rules.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anapospastos:
It seems that I solved it reducing the voltages. When sod occurs a black screen appears right? I never had sod, only random freezes.

Im not sure if you're familiar with vmware fusion, but i used that. It allows you to boot up windows on your mac. I did that, booted it up, switched all my usb's to my windows, then download superoneclickroot. That did the trick.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] k2b6s9j:
Actually you can use a executable called sbf_flash that works on both Mac OS X and Linux. All you have to do is download the file, put your phone into Recovery/Boot-Loader, and point the executable at the sbf file. I would recommend being familiar with the Terminal and SUDO commands before doing this though.

Just Google SBF_flash and open the link to a blog called OPTICAL ILLUSION.

I need to know how to roll back or undo the newest Gmail update. It's screwing up notification stuff I have for Gmail. I had a widget to show me unread emails (SMS Unread count) but now it keeps force closing if I try to make a widget for Gmail. I know its not an issue with the SMS Unread conut app because it works fine for making widgets for phone calls and text messages. Also, with the latest Gmail update, GoLauncher no longer shows me unread count in the dock, even though the setting is checked to do so.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scottthreet32:
Uninstall from marketplace.ah my apps

Or menu settings applications manage applications downloaded push gmail app clear data cache force stop restart
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
But then where would I get the previous version
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
It's already there. Once you uninstall the update, the old version will be there. You may need to reboot.

Is this due to the latest G-Mail app locking the mail database to outside apps? I just ran into this as well and had to uninstall the update too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
ohhh.. is that what they did??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Also doesn't support zip attachments. Cant save em or view em. Don't like the update.

Once I change .zip to .bin it shows up fine

I'd recommend Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.0.1 Manta Ray [UPDATED 07/25/2011] it works great as long as you read the instructions and install it correctly. You must use the correct version of CWM (ClockworkMod).

[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I'm experiencing serious battery drain on my ROM'd phone. When I go into Spare Parts under the "network" pulldown menu, the object using the most amount of data is "Dialer." This doesn't make any sense since I've only made about 15 minutes of phone calls all day. My hypothesis is that the dialer is pinging the network all day, draining the battery. Why is it doing this and how do I fix the issue?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
spare parts doesnt display an accurate amount of usage.....thats what I have read in the past from others
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
The data in Spare Parts is accurate. I can say with great certainty that the Dialer showing up as the number one user of the network is indicative of a problem.

Does anyone have a real solution?
[Verizon Droid Charge] sonami:
Its from assisted dialing, tell HTC and phone finder, turn them off

[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I have a droid charge, not an htc phone.

Anyone with a real solution?
[Verizon Droid Charge] futurejohn:
Not sure if this is related, but according to My Data Manager, dialer has used about 75MB of data over the two weeks I've been using it. Kind of odd as I've made/received about 5 calls the whole time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
I also can confirm this. I dont know why that is though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Samsuck:
Interesting, are you running the latest version of Eclipse?

I have the same exact problem , and coincidentally i use Touchdown as well for Work and that's also the second highest thing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I am, indeed, running Froyo Eclipse, but not the version that came out yesterday, the version before that. How much data is your dialer using?
[Verizon Droid Charge] piperat:
Im running humble 1.42 with same issue
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
I am in the same situation. My dialer is also using the most network resources. I use Go Dialer. I wonder if that could be the cause. I'll delete it and see if it makes a difference.

I'm on Humble 1.42
[Verizon Droid Charge] bgorrell:
If you click on dialer in spare parts it gives you more details. What do you have under "packages sharing this UID"? Perhaps that will give a clue.

For reference, I have seven shared UIDs (on Humble 1.42) and not experiencing this problem. 2.5MB used in 12 hours with numerous calls.

I also noticed an app named "0" using some data. Anyone know what that is? If I click on it I get a force close of "settings".
[Verizon Droid Charge] mintcookies:
also running Humble 1.42 and have 7 UIDs linked to Dialer yet it still is taking up the most Network Usage.

I'm at 9.6MB after 6 hours with only 5 short (less that 1 min) phone calls.
[Verizon Droid Charge] siphyn:
I'm also seeing dialer as having the most network usage. However, I'm running stock deodexed ee4 with the latest pb&j kernel.

beamed from my SCH-I510
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I just looked at my friend's Charge, which is completely stock and loaded up Spare Parts. His phone has Dialer as the #1 user of network, but after 10 hours off the charger (but only 30 minutes of 'display on' time), he still had about 45% of his battery left.

His dialer said that he had used 28 MB of data.

My conclusion is that if his stock phone is using as much data as my ROM'd phone under "Dialer," then the battery drain issue must have more to do with the amount of time my screen is on rather than with the "dialer" being the #1 network consumer.

I assume that "dialer" consumes a ton of data for everyone. Maybe some people could report how many MB their phone has used along with the amount of time their phone has been unplugged. This will give us an idea if there is an error or not.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Stockmoose16:
I also have 7 UIDs sharing, but have the problem on Eclipse ROM. My guess is it's normal for dialer to use this data.

So then, this begs the question "what is 'dialer'" and why is it consuming data? By the way, it consumes data even if mobile networks are off (it just does so at a slower rate).
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
I froze 'Phone' and use RocketDial as my primary dialer now and I've still got the same problem, guess it's just how the phone apps work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
I'm on eclipse 1.3 froyo and I have the dialer drain too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] schnablebg:
I am having this same problem. Overnight, Dialer used 60MB! Something is definitely not right here.

The programs sharing the same UID are:

DataCreate

Dialer

Dialer Storage

PhoneCrashNotifier

SIM Toolkit

SimDetachNotifier

Stealth functionality test

Maybe the issue is not the dialer app itself? Anyone have any ideas for apps to try freezing? I thought I had froze all the BS but missed Stealth functionality test, I froze that so we'll see if it helps.

I'm running PeanutButta Jelly Time Voodoo on stock ROM, but I had major battery drain issues before I installed the new kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] schnablebg:
I'm still having big battery drain problems, and Dialer is still showing massive amounts of data usage all of the time.

Looking at the Dialer log using OS Monitor, I see a series if message like the following showing up every minute or so, in bunches:

[ERROR] TrafficStats(2915)
Tx(pdpbr1) 21490

[ERROR] TrafficStats(2915)
Rx(pdpbr1) 21272

[ERROR] TrafficStats(2915)
dpram_stat: pending UL 0 (@331) pending DL 0 (@1390)

What does this mean? Is the Dialer misbehaving somehow?
[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
I wonder what the permissions are when using the dialer? Could it be someone has their hand in the cookie jar?
[Verizon Droid Charge] schnablebg:
Interesting. How would I find that out?

[Omnia 7 General] battleangel:
I'm thinking about getting an Omnia 7 and I have a few questions about the device that I was hoping you could help me with:

(1) How is the call quality? I saw a review that made this out to be the biggest gripe with the phone.

(2) How good is the (A)GPS? I recall seeing complaints about it. It is pretty important for me that the GPS is fast and accurate. At least not worse than my current $100 nokia symbian s60v5 handset, which has in fact been very reliable.

(3) How annoying is the amoled screen? I know it looks great in terms of color, contrast and viewing angles, but I've seen some seriously angry threads elsewhere regarding the faux resolution issue with pentile matrix. 653x392 is it?

(4) Also, can you view the screen with polarized sunglasses in both portrait and landscape? I reckon it would go black at some angle, but is it a clever 45 degrees like the Iphone or 90 degrees like for instance the ipad? (youtube.com/watch?v=78GdcXCM9nk&feature=related)?

(5) I've seen a lot of 720p video recording samples and they all seem a bit jerky? From what I understand it is a CPU limitation? I also recall SonyEricsson had a similar problem with the same CPU on one of their handsets and they improved it slightly by tweaking the codec to dynamically lower recording quality? Anything like that happening on WP7 or Omnia 7? Any other fixes?
[Omnia 7 General] dada051:
I'm thinking about getting an Omnia 7 and I have a few questions about the device that I was hoping you could help me with:

(1) How is the call quality? I saw a review that made this out to be the biggest gripe with the phone.

Wait for a Super AMOLED

PLUS

(the "plus" is the big difference : http://www.oled-info.com/super-amoled-plus-resolution-explained

(4) Also, can you view the screen with polarized sunglasses in both portrait and landscape? I reckon it would go black at some angle, but is it a clever 45 degrees like the Iphone or 90 degrees like for instance the ipad? (youtube.com/watch?v=78GdcXCM9nk&feature=related)?

720p is a litte laggy, new devices (with new processor like the MSM8255) will not have any problem
[Omnia 7 General] battleangel:
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions. And yes, I am waiting for the specs (and prices) of the new phones before I act. But I doubt that any of the new phones, like the Sea Ray, will be anywhere near €200 like the Omnia 7 is now on Ebay. Hence my ambivalence.
[Omnia 7 General] titus1:
Is it still wise to get the Omnia 7? Or just wait for the Mango devices?
[Omnia 7 General] BiG K:
(1) In the UK on Three, the call quality is just fine, its better than my friends Blackberry Torch. Apparently there is a new Radio software that should improve it for everyone.

(2) The AGPS is ok I suppose, It works. GPS initially takes a minute or two (the VERY first time its used but afterwards, it gets a lock within 15 seconds) Accuracy is fine.

(3) The AMOLED screen has amazing quality but when looking at the screen VERY closely, the straight lines are very slightly jaggy. All AMOLED screens are arranged in the pentile pattern. The Super AMOLED Plus screens have the pixels arranged in a more traditional manner. However its not much of an issue for me, its probably wise to have a look at a Super AMOLED screen and judge for yourself!

(4) Not sure really, I can view the phone fine with 3D cinema glasses to pretty much most angles as without.

(5) I've shot a 720p video and it seemed fine to me! I doubt its a CPU limitation, its most likely the software which needs tweaking. Again, its probably wise to test one of these devices out to see how it performs. I think only one WP7 device has the MSM Snapdragon (which has an Adreno 205 GPU instead of our Adreno 200. Also its a die shrink which would use slightly less power)
