[Nexus S General] LordLugard:
My peeve is how the battery drops real quick from the 95% to the low 90's and upper 80's in under an hour for me. I would assume that the 5 or 6% i've lost would come in real handy if i was running gout of juice on an important call.

Thankfully i invested in 2 spare batteries and an external charger that actually charges them to 100%. Batteries are cheap and i'd rather Samsung (and by extension Android) focus on battery/power performance and power/battery optimizations than the longevity of said batteries.

For those who say that "all phones do it", the only phones i've ever had/observed in my near 13 years of having cell phones that charge only to 94/95% (for our protection?? :confused:) have been the Epic and now the NS4G.

For those of you perfectionists (I'm one of them, too!). There's an app on the market that fixes the battery charging to 100%. It's called Nexus S charger.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
Am I the only one who has this bug after upgrading?

When other apps try to launch a default app, the screen just dims and the other app doesn't start.

For instance, i click on a link in an app which would normally launch the browser - the screen just dims but the browser doesn't start.

Or in the file browser, if i click in an mp4 the screen just dims and the video player doesn't start?

Very bad.

mx video player doesnt work for me? anyone else using the 3.2 custom rom by gnufabio
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
This has been discussed at length in several threads.

The issue is if you have multiple apps that can provide the service (ex. show an image or play a movie) available the dialog asking which one to use does not show. There is some sort of issue with the geometry preventing this dialog from appearing. There are 2 ways I know of to fix this. One is to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait, or portrait to landscape. This will work until your reboot the device. The second method is do the rotation and select a set app as default on the dialog asking you which app to use. The next time an app is needed to display an image or play a movie it will select this one.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
That's some weird bug, which I would haven't found since i lock rotation.

Also, I had just turned the device on when it happened, so rebooting might not help?

But thanks it worked.

But was it new with 3.2?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike5065:
Yes.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] martin88ca:
Hello,

I recently purchased a LG Optimus One with Koodo branding on it. I have already unlocked it, rooted it, and installed custom recovery on it.

Can someone tell me where I can find stock LG Froyo firmware, and point me to a tutorial on how to install it?

Thanks.

Does this method still work even if I have rooted the phone and installed custom recovery?
[Atrix 4G General] jackdonogy:
My FP scanner stopped working recently...figured it was software related so i went ahead and wiped the stats..restarted, installed new custom rom...no cigar.

I have dropped my phone in water so im assuming its water damage.

Anyone got any ideas where i can get a replacement and get it fixed?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] grave101:
Same here, I can't find a solution at all. Flashing new roms dont fix it neither does wiping data
[Atrix 4G General] Jibraldor:
If water has affected the hardware, i doubt that you can ever fix this problem( if i were you, i would dismantle the phone and try and clean-and completely dry any water off it- the FP scanner and see if it works....but i would not advise you to do such a thing if you are not comfortable with it).

If, however it's a software issue, Flashing a new ROM would have fixed this problem.

The good news here though is that you can use the traditional lock, which many Atrix users prefer over the FP scanner.
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
another option is too look for a bricked phone or one with a cracked screen for parts to replace the FP scanner.
[Atrix 4G General] jackdonogy:
funny thing about water damage....i dropped it in may...literally 3 months ago..and now its causing an issue...guess i have to live with no FP scanner..

cellulardr.com

Just got a replacement from them for about $30 with the back as well for good measure. Friend from the US shipped it up here to save.

my old one actually does work haven't determined why my sensor gives me issues (off balance so it records swipes that aren't happening - not sure what the cause is cause it just goes away after some adjustment). the point being you are in toronto so you can have mine for $10 and i would install it as well.

Great! Let's meet up. I've pm'ed u. Hit me back. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
you might not need both, but to be safe spend the extra $5. I haven't used the one I bought since it appears to be working fine.
[Atrix 4G General] lsxrx7:
This phone is very easy to torn apart.
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
yeah its actually one of the easiest out there

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/1

you won't have to go beyond step 6 for this repair.
[Atrix 4G General] Belgarius:
There is an onlilne outfit that supplies replacement parts for the Atrix, but doing so is not for the faint of heart.. The site is located at www.repairsuniverse.com

I considered going through them to replace my glass when it lost a battle with gravity and a concrete slab, and noticed at the time, they have just about any part that you could need, including the board that contains the FP scanner.
[Atrix 4G General] borgib:
The sticker like cover of my scanner is peeling away. Is this the same as the cover that they have for sale?
[Atrix 4G General] y2whisper:
you mean the black put your finger against? the cover is actually underneath that.
[Atrix 4G General] borgib:
I bought it before I saw your post. You are right. The cover actually rests underneath the FP scanner itself.

In stead of buying the entire scanner, what I did was super glue the sticker back down. It's not exactly pretty, but the scanner still works flawlessly.
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
I'm really on the edge with rooting. I really want to do it, but I'm new to android and this is my first android phone. I'm afraid I might brick my phone or worst. I do plan on doing google search of each step before performing it on the phone.
[HTC Sensation] ssh678:
I am in the same position as you, I am scared to root but I know it will make my phone much better. I decided to wait it out until the bugs on the phone are worked out. This way if anything happens then you still have your warranty.
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
rooting is no big deal! with the revolutionary tool it's completely automated so not possible to brick unless you install the wrong rom on your device. Not to mention once you root you can unroot if you needed to send device back for warranty issues so it's a win-win situation
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Do it. Just read all the how to's on revolutionary. Really, really easy to do.
[HTC Sensation] 2Noob4U:
The only device easier to root than this was my wife's G2x. Very simple root procedure. Just follow the steps. Also there are usually tutorials on YouTube. Watch them and then go for it.
[HTC Sensation] brianvx:
Do it you won't regret it! Just follow the steps carefully and take your time.
[HTC Sensation] SirMario87:
I am in the same boots, but im thinking of rooting it within 48 hours
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
I wish there were some step by step tutorials on youtube. But there's barely any good ones.
[HTC Sensation] SirMario87:
would be cool if someone made one, lots of hits!
[HTC Sensation] matejm1994:
Hi, I am at the same position like you. My sensation is first Android phone, and it is not Rooted yet. Probably I won't root it, becouse for me is enough fast and functionally. I would root it, if i wouldn't lose warranty. Ok, you can unroot it, but what if one day sensation just won't turn on? There is no chance to unroot it than.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
if you follow the guide in the android development section, it's pretty damn hard to brick it :o the guide is noobproof. I looked through the guide, and I think none of the steps are "brickable" even if you mess up, unless you pull the USB cable in the middle of the process for no reason.
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Root the phone and flash these blazing fast roms already
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
I am gonna go ahead and give it a go. I will get back after I am done.
[HTC Sensation] SirMario87:
Bone what kind of roms are you using ?
[HTC Sensation] tfn:
I dont understand. why newbs like you wanna root your phone... you have the latest fastest phone in the market with the latest firmware (almost) and you wanna root.....

I have a SGS2 and dont even feel the need to root it, and besides for customisation there are so many launchers and icon packs and stuff.

on the other hand if you guys really want Titanium back up an the other stuff then I understand :/

But still I would say not worth the rooting atleast yet.. may be when ICECREAM SANDWICH is OUT :D
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
All done and rooted. It was easy as I followed the steps. Just don't make the stupid mistake I made. Don't extract a file unless it tells you. I extracted every file I downloaded with winrar and I couldn't install them on the phone from the sd root, because i extracted them lol
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
That is how you learn the best :cool: just remember don't unrar the .zip's :P they are for the clockwork to install scripts and roms.

So when you open the file and you see something like META-INF/system you gone to far :D
[HTC Sensation] Flashindude:
After rooting my first Desire "I just can´t get enough" :D
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
You are so right. I learned so much just by rooting this phone.
[HTC Sensation] fango_vk:
.. another thing bothers me, as former Desire user I did rooted device with Unrevoked tool, for one reason: use titanium backup and move apps to sd card, but now with Sensation I did not have that problems, all apps I installed had an option "move to sd", and I mean all o them .. so, if I'm still not into changing stock rom, rooting is really not necessary?
[HTC Sensation] nccu_eagles:
You are misinformed...

[Droid Pro General] frombb2droid:
Hi-

I am a full-on newbee to the droid world (came over about two weeks ago from Blackberry). I like many aspects of the droid but can't stand the horrible battery life and the 80 some-odd programs constantly running in the background. My son tells me that rooting will solve this, but I'm finding so many different versions of how to do this, many of which Verizon has found ways to prevent. Anyway, I was just wondering if one of the experts out there can help sort me out.

The Android version I'm running is 2.2.1 (I can provide System, Baseband, Build, ERI and PRL versions if helpful).
[Droid Pro General] youthlu:
Yes super one click can help solve You out with rooting problem, since your system was 2.2
[Droid Pro General] MindController:
I actually have to recommend against using superoneclick. I tried the same method but had the "waiting for device" error consistently.

I used aroot and that worked flawlessly for me.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Same thing happened to me yesterday..the only way I got my phone working again was to odin eb01 with the atlas 2.2..reboot fully...I then tried to go back to cm7 and got the same message and the only way I was about to fix it was to flash the com rom 2.0 obviously wipe everything before..let that boot and tried to flash cm7 with the recovery from com rom....still same message...i had to odin otb3.x.x.recovery... Download times infinity's recovery zip and flash that in otb recovery, then reboot recovery so I had ti's purple recovery...wipe everything and flash cm7...and success! I used the 7/17 build cause I didn't want nightly then rebooted from power button menu and flashed glitch and gapps.

Same here. I'm now stuck in a boot loop. I can't even restore a backup.

Edit: Just tried to do a restore and the MD5 Sums don't match. I've had to do Odin reset three times today.

I think I might do Vodoo and try to restore that way. I will report back.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
No I don't think its omfgb related cause I've never ran that rom but I do think it has something to do with all the different recoveries we have floating around and so many different builds with different formats things are bound to get screwed up...my problem came from forgetting to wipe before flashing a different kernel and got me stuck in a boot loop.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyphnx:
I've had this problem ever since I got my Fascinate and tried to get CM7 on it. (2 days ago) I was always able to flash new builds just fine if I managed to get into the orange recovery and not the CM7 one. I believe the one I used was the one on ROM Manager.

This is kinda upsetting...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Its not the quickest but it should get you back...odin eb01 with the atlas 2.2pit...and reboot. Then odin recovery boot immediately to recovery via 3 finger salute...wipe everything and flash the rom you want...I've had good luck with cwm 3-30 fix all or otb 3x.x.x....if you want to go to cm7 odin the fixed recovery in jt's post and flash cm7 from that recovery....the sticky in the dev section...going from cm7/miui/gb to any other rom should give you some good info and instructions
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyphnx:

Tried CWM-Recovery-All, turned my phone into muffed up phone. UGH!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hyphnx:
Sorry for the double post. I've had to Odin 2 more times which makes it a total of 5 today. I used all the recoveries that are available. One at a time and they all end in the same way.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alemondemon:
".i had to odin otb3.x.x.recovery... Download times infinity's recovery zip and flash that in otb recovery"

can you link to that? Is it the voodoo one form here:

and which is the recovery zip that u flashed from otb recovery? can you link to them, i don't wanna screw this up any more than i already have.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Yup...boot into the otb 3x.x.x recovery and flash the times infinity.zip and then select reboot recovery while in cwm and it should go from the otb one to the times infinity one...at that point wipe everything and flash cm7 build 7/17..not the nightly....once your on the mtd build you can flash the nightly if you wanted

From the power button menu

Edit: I suppose you could just odin times infinity's recovery...I just happened to have the zip on my sd handy so thats why I did it that way...it was that recovery that worked so you could odin it if you wanted it's in the link you posted try flashing it from ti's recovery..I just got there a little differently
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humblewarfare:
Any suggestions if you cant get odin to recognize the phone? Ive tried three Win7 machines both x86 and x64 and three different cables...ALL of them say unknown device. Ive tried pointing to both the Sammy drivers and the nexus ones with no luck.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alemondemon:
My phone was revived by simply doing the atlas odin method. I then flashed a fully rooted image...and from there on it's child's play. With that said, I can't get into download mode now, to odin things. What could be causing that? Not, very urgent, because at the moment the phone is running like it should :D

Thanks so much!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humblewarfare:
OK so I copied infinity times cwm red to phone and applied that. I still got message about cache. I ran the cwm4 from recovery and now Im back to square one again. I can try to install a ROM, but it boot loops everytime. Can my phone be revived w/o odin? Do I need an updated update.zip file?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
unfortunately a boot loop normally requires odin...use the eb01 tar and the atlas 2.2pit and your phone will be back up and running

From there I would flash com rom and reboot then if you wanna take a stab at cm7...try and flash it with the com rom recovery...if it doesn't work you can just try odin'ing different recoveries as long as you don't let the phone boot fully you can simply pull the battery and try to odin a different recovery.try the one from com rom, the 3-30 fix all, ti's recovery, or jt's fixed recovery...I don't know where I got the file but I also have a recovery named fixed 3 x.x for cm7 but I came remember where I got it.it is important that you let eb01 sit for a few minutes after booting and also let com rom sit for a few minutes after flashing also...I just skipped all the setup stuff to get the main screen and then pulled the battery and started flashing
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
I'm running vista home edition...if it matters and I'm using odin v.1.7 try the samsung generic drivers also.but once I'm on cm7 my pc says it doesn't recognize my phone but if I put it in download mode and hook up odin recognizes it...so I'm not sure on that one
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Try holding the down button while you plug into your wall charger then just move it to your pc...if that doesn't work...clean the contacts with rubbing alcohol...with the phone off.at worse case there is a jig you can manually force download mode...you can buy or make them
