[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
I discovered this as I was following someone else instructions that didn't quite work and then messing up my phone to where my "com.android.phone" was failing but I was able to find the way for it to so I do not take full credit for this at all and if this has been known I do apologize. This mod does require root explorer (or similar app) and you need to be rooted.

1a. open root explorer and go to system/etc/motorola/com.android.phone/defaults.xml

1b. Long old "open in text editor" change "" to true

2a. Back out to root of phone then data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs and repeat step "1b" on "_has_set_default_values.xml" and " Settings.xml"

2b. Make a copy of " com.android.phone_preferences.xml" within that same folder

2c. Open copy file in text editor and repeat step "1b"

2d. Change file name of copy to " com.android.phone_preferences.xml.bak"

3a. Reboot phone

Now when you go into settings>wireless & networks>mobile networks you will be able to select whether you want 2G, 3G, or automatic which selects 4G. If anyone has trouble or anything PM me and I'd be more than happy to walk you through.

Oh and this should work on froyo and GB

*********************************

Looks like this does open the ability to select 2G or 3G selecting either or does nothing. I will continue to look into these files to see if I can make this work

*********************************

I got this far but now Im stuck. The selection can be made but the actual band change isn't occurring. If anyone much have some insight let me know and I'll update the OP.

But does this give you options in your power control widget?

Sent from the coolest voided warranty phone ever.
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Since the power control widget is a built in app this tweak unfortunately does not affect it. And since my knowledge is nowhere near a devs I wouldn't be able to make a rom with a widget that supports this mod.

[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
tried it twice but for some reason each time i reboot it reverts to default and deletes the backups
[Atrix 4G General] dream5hift:
How do I know if I'm really on 2G?
[Atrix 4G General] mirageromeo:
Hi, I have already changed its. But when I reboot the phone. All file in data/data/com.android.phone/shared_prefs are return to the original.

Can you suggest to me for solve this?

Thanks,
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Sorry guys I just edited my instructions. You need to edit the .bak file for "com.android.phone_preferences.xml" because the system auto resets to the .bak file for this one so you're tricking it into reseting into the modded file

From unlocked/rooted GB Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] mirageromeo:
Thanks, I'll try it.
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
Once done correctly (instructions were w bit off sorry) you will be able to select 2G as seen in my screen shots

[Atrix 4G General] Jonous:
I too struggled a lot to find how to enable this and i installed navalynt's πCRUST v0.3 rom couple of days ago which had this feature enabled, so maybe it has been mentioned somewhere. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
[Atrix 4G General] kojitabe:
It works on atrix 2.

Does this has permanent effect?

but isn't rooting android illegal (okay so it isn't illegal and it was my friend who wanted to know this I told him its not possible but he won't agree I also yolks him it would be illegal anyways)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cdub5:
There's nothing illegal about rooting or modifying your phone. Doing either of these does not make you benefit financially in any way. Trying to get a paid service, illegally for free is, well, illegal. I don't think your post has much of a life left on this forum. Just an fyi. good luck to ya though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sword_of_a_1000_truths:
if jailbreaking isnt illegal, rooting is far from being illegal also. rooting only voids a phones warranty and voiding warranties isnt illegal

Is there a way to update cm7 nighty's and stable mods without having to reinstall and re register kindle? they only allow me to register 12 times before I have to buy the books again.
[Nook Color General] ShutterPeep:
When updating to the latest nightly or rom, wipe Dalvik Cache only. There shouldn't be a need to re-install your apps nor re-register anything. But of course, it is best to back-up with Titanium backup just in case.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
I guess that tells up Amazon allows up to 12 devices under one account, B&N only allows 6 or 7...... Good to know! :)

What advantage is there to deleting the stuff as opposed to simply freezing it?

[Thunderbolt General] a1exus:
I don't get it, really so many phones came out with 2.3.4 already why is Thunderbolt is so behind?!
[Thunderbolt General] Greywolf66:
From what I've seen in the developer forums, the Dev's are really having to rework the leaked kernels pretty heavily to get them stable; normally striping out all the garbage HTC is trying to cram into it. So I'm thinking between HTC and verizon trying to cram so much crap in, they can't get it stable enough to release.

just my thought.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
im thinking we will get 2.3.5 not 2.3.4. and it should come by the end of the month or in september.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
no offense but you would probably be wrong. most of us knew we wouldn't get it until august or so.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not aware they are even using a base derived from Tbolt ROMs for kernels.
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
2.3.5 i think comes from the nexus s update to fix the signal issues. im sure at the least the tbolt will get OTA 2.3.4.
[Thunderbolt General] Greywolf66:
Nope your probably right. Thought I read that they were using a leaked kernel from HTC, for some of the ROMs/kernels but probably my misunderstanding
[Thunderbolt General] ProTekkFZS:
Wouldn't hold my breath for the update tbh. With what we're cranking out, people should be content with what's available. If you guys got an OTA 2.3.4 update you'd want it customized anyway so....
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
Surprise its August where's that update I have been reading about.

#$%& my kid has the dinc 2,its been out since April,what's the big deal about GB.HTC should hire all the outstanding developer's here and get this BULL@#$% over with what the hell strip the s*** and push it out after that support with updates, The t-bolt is one big science experiment that escaped it creator's.
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
They are using leaked RUUs for the base on Gingerbread Sense ROMs, but any custom GB kernels are frankensteined together from different sources I believe. They have to do that because even with an RUU leak we don't have the kernel source from HTC for Gingerbread.

[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
If you are that upset, Verizon now offers the iPhone in white, which may suit your needs better.
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:

[Thunderbolt General] a1exus:
so annoying that we have to wait for so long, i bought that phone with a hope that new phone will be well supported it yet as usual no one really know what's going on and we are at least one major release away... i wonder if we ever going to be current at one point of time...
[Thunderbolt General] chucks1967:
no phone is ever current... the moment it is released another OS/hardware set is going to be announced within a week and that hardware that is not yet on the shelf is already out dated.. it’s just the way things work. And it’s a good thing to. if we had the most current device it would take years for the next generation device to come out and we would slip behind the curve even faster. All that said... it is extremely ridiculous that we are not on the newest OS version given the amount of time this one has been on the shelf.
[Thunderbolt General] 00negative:
Nexus phones are pretty well updated.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
If you want to blame anything, blame HTC for putting sense on the phone, since they can't keep it updated quickly enough to follow google's software rollout.

Also, there seems to be one of these threads every week. Please go complain to verizon or HTC, not to XDA where most are already running gingerbread, it's far more useful.
[Thunderbolt General] s0low1ng:
I saw this asked on another forum, but couldn't the 4g radio cause any issue? Doesn't make sense since the developers here already have it working, but it seems like the only reasonable explaination..if there was one. Maybe the sensation, dinc 2 or evo3D are the new flagships and therefore thunderbolt is put farther down the ladder?
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Most likely the LTE Radio is/was the issue. However, no other LTE phone has GB either so people just complain to complain.
[Thunderbolt General] ScoobarSTI:
new cm7 is 2.3.5
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I've used froyo and gingerbread both. I could be missing something, but does gingerbread bring something to the table that is just so remarkable that we MUST have it? It doesn't seem any faster. I'm not seeing features that are much more than pretty fluff. Some of the features I STILL miss from my Blackberry aren't there in 2.3. It's nice, but I'm pretty much indifferent to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey121215:

My girlfriend needs a good music download app but i dont see any on the market. The one on my phone (free music download) isnt on the market anymore. How can i make a copy and send it to her
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Use Root Explorer (or another file explorer) to upload the .apk to your dropbox account. Then just dropbox it over to her phone. The app you're looking for will probably be in /data/app
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Or you could just blu toot it right over with root explore. Of your not rooted you can still blu tooth it as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
The app bump works pretty well if the phones are in proximity.

[HTC EVO 3D] navymoss35:
You don't even need root, use astro or es file manager back up that app, upload it to dropbox and share or just email the backup boom
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
Wouldn't work. Bump just sends the app's market link to the other phone. There's a appshare app that you can download that will work. You have to find it on the internet because it's not, and never will, be in the market because it'll be too easy to share paid apps.

Here's some info on AppShare by DamagedApps:

http://apps.talkandroid.com/apps/social/149819-com+damagedapps+appshare/

There's also this one that sends the apk directly to whomever you want to share with:

What I've done is use Astro to find the app, then press and hold and press send. Ive sent one through Gmail.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorMD:
Good question. Being new to WP7 I would like to do more with my new device like I could with my previous Android phones.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] day2die:
First of, what you are calling "unlock" is developer unlock as oppose to a carrier unlock.

You can achieve developer unlock by 1) buying a developer account and 2) developer unlock via unofficial means

Unfortunately, "developer unlock via unofficial means" is not available for the CDMA variation of the HTC Trophy because it ship with NoDo which already blocks this method. (I am not aware of any method at this moment).

In the near future, however, Rafael Rivera, Chris Walsh, Long Zheng will launch ChevronWP7 Labs which allow sideloading with permission from Microsoft.

any suggestions on a fast and stable rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INDIANAJONNY:
You should be able to usb together with the built-in usb tether on cm7.

I do it all the time. I get up to 10 mbps on usb tether. I never get more then 3 on wifi.

I did notice that I can only usb tether using cm7's default kernel. Any other custom kernal I'Ve tried doesnt let me usb tether.

Hey all, i'm new to android and have some quick questions. I have rooted and obtained S-Off on my evo 3d and am ready to start flashing some roms. However, I don't want to lose my contacts/apps/game save data.. what is the best way to back this up and restore after flashing.. I apologize if this has been asked before and thanks in advance!
[HTC EVO 3D] hockeyfamily737:
Your contacts should be backed up in google. Use titanium backup to backup and restore all of your user apps & data. Don't back up system apps or data with it, because it could cause instability on future roms that you use.

MODS PLEASE DELETE THIS IF YOU WANT ONCE VERIFIED

Basically i had 90 percent BAttery

I switched off the phone, Took out the battery to be sure it is completely turned off.

Plugged in my charger (im charging via PC at the moment, will test with wall charger later)

The LED Came on and then went out after 2 seconds

After ten minutes i took out the battery again and reinserted and powered on

My battery was 100 PERCENT

use battery indicator from market to check your current level or you can check it using *#*#4636#*#* and clicking battery information

Can you please check this. and post here ASAP.

Make sure your battery isnt fully charged (between 20 and 80 percent ideal), Turn off completely (pull the battery out and reinsert if you want to be sure)

Plug in your charger now

After 15 minutes

Take out battery and reinsert.

POWER ON

What is you battery now?

please post your before and after percentage here. THANKS
[HTC Sensation] hmoroni:
Mine too.

After CMW and S-Off it is not charging, same behavior. And my battery if fully discharged, which means I bricked my device since I just can't turn it on nor charge it...

:/
[HTC Sensation] durps:
You can either let a friend charge your battery for you in his phone

Or

You can get a usb cable, any kind really, chop off the end that goes into the phone. There will be 4 wires exposed, you only need the red and black ones, pay no attention to the green or white wires or whatever color they are. Connect the exposed wire to the battery (to part that touches the prongs on the phone) and it will charge. All you have to do is find out on the web which of the 4 slots on the battery do what, and connect the positive (red) cable to the positive slot on the battery, and the black cable to the neg part of the battery.
[HTC Sensation] kwaille:
In the worst case,you could charge your battery outside the phone with a power supply...

Root and use wireless tether

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidJoe:
two options really...

First... If you are STOCK, then pay VZW to add the Mobile Broadband Connect feature (aka Mobile Hot Spot) to your account, and use the Built in Mobile Hot Spot app.

Why do this? you don't have to root or anything.. and you wan to abide by VZW's Terms of Service (TOS).

Second.. If you are rooted and/or using a custom rom, then use the link that Deltaechoe posted to install "Wifi Tether for Root"

Why do this? You just want to tether and don't care about VZW's TOS, or you accept any possible consequences for violating VZW's TOS should they decide to take action (I'm not saying VZW will do anything, but there is always that chance so use at your own risk... And I'm not going to debate if its right, wrong, ok, not ok, etc).
