[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enhanced:
BLN = Backlight Notifications

This is when the soft keys (Back, Menu, Search, Home) on the front of the phone light up when there is a notification. An invaluable feature if you ask me considering Samsung always skimps out on the notification LED.

As for underclocking, I find that I can underclock less on my Nexus S than with my Captivate. I could underclock my Captivate to almost -150s before a reboot while I can only do -50s with the Nexus. As such, I don't think it's that great of an improvement but every little bit counts right? I can see many people thinking -50 isn't worth the hassle but it could just be my phone that is adverse to UC.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
BLN = BackLight Notification, basically the 4 software buttons below the display will light up/blink on a notification.

Underclocking alone doesn't slice the bread, you need to undervolt to save meaningful amounts of battery life. Using the kernel in my signature compared to stock I'm saving noticable amounts of battery life (no, it won't turn your Android phone into a dumbphone, in terms of battery life). Head over to development section for more kernels.

/EDIT: ok Enhanced is taking care of that now :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acPIZZA:
Awesome. Sounds good and the BLN are a great idea.

Hello,

I'm more than happy with the latest SE update. Mediascape is gone and it's good lol.

Now, I'm using the default gallery application for photos/videos, but there is an issue. When I look at the photo for some time (different every time, but about 3-5 seconds), it seems that the picture "refreshes" and it's really annoying. I cannot zoom into them, because the zoom resets every few seconds.

Do any of you encounter this problem? I'm thinking to.clean my DCIM directory, maybe that would help..
[HTC EVO 3D] lazie0402:
Apparently they're cracking down on roaming. So be careful if you use roam control. Glad I got my Airave yesterday, according to them my roaming usage was 1000 last month, 1200 the month before that, and 1600 before that.

[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
their cracking down can be a bunch of crap though, i can be outside and have outstanding coverage, but god forbid i go into my local wal-mart or hoss's cause then i'm roaming in the building, lol wtf is that other then their weak arse signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
tell them to fix there **** and you wont roam so much

[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
I can't roam, i keep getting a message saying that I can not be verified, by version
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
If their cracking down on roaming by calling customers telling them your using to much roaming then id say They may have an issue with their network and coverage. I myself have seen numerous times inside their coverage area that i go into roaming. All I have to do is drive a block sometimes and I show I go into roaming. All this and we have 4g here in some areas as well. But limited. The roaming issues really got bad a few months ago. In fact I thought I had seen an article on it that they lost some roaming agreement with another company that Verizon had bought out. That Sprint shared tower support with..

Maybe instead of barking at their customers for this issue they need to actually increase and fix the Network they have now to resolve the issue.

Even having said that. If you know your in roaming why the heck would you want to try and push so much data... ??? Its slower.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
I have a buddy that actually WORKED for Sprint but lived outside of the "coverage" map and the seriously kicked him off of the service and canceled his contracts for using too much roaming time.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
that doesn't sound too bad to me... and I'll get hella trade in value for this Evo3D. It's their fault I'm roaming constantly so they give me a way out of my contract which makes moving to another carrier that much easier.

Sounds like a **** move, but, if you can't get a good signal to get off of roaming, well, go to that other carrier.

...I've been thinking about doing this lately, wouldn't be hard...I'm roaming constantly now...but Verizon and ATT's plans completely. fncking. suck.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
Can't wait until they call me on that one. Store rep actually sold me my Evo 4G a year ago saying "Don't worry. Sprint signal is really weak where you live but you can roam freely on Verizon's network." So yeah, if they don't want people to roam, they can get a real network or stop complaining: because that's how they sell their service to customers.

And as far as the Airave, it's not free... you pay at least $4.50/mo in federal fees. May not sound like a lot but it's another fee I don't need on my account due to Sprint's lame network. Plus, it's nothing more than glorified VOIP. If I wanted a cordless VOIP phone that uses my internet bandwidth, I'd pick up my Vonage line and use the cordless on that line! And get better range doing it!

[HTC EVO 3D] lazie0402:
I totally agree and those numbers aren't data usage they're the minutes I've used. I still actually use my phone for voice calls quite a bit.

[HTC EVO 3D] Saleenfiend:
I'm pretty sure most plans have free nationwide roaming included.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
No, you've got it all wrong....we've got:

"Free" Nationwide Roaming and

"Unlimited" Data

....trust us, this is "a thing"

EDIT: Disclaimer - I have used over 10gb a month, going over the invisible 5gb limit, many times and never got a letter or call. Some have. However that's only beating up their own network...but roaming costs Sprint money and they won't take very much abuse(?) of that feature.
[HTC EVO 3D] skelotic:
Just so you know for the everything data family atleast, the contract states that you can roam only for 800 minutes and 300 mb each month. For the data, if you go over that you may be charged .03 per kilobyte.

[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
your missing the point, doesn't matter how long i talk, which is barely ever, i might use a total of maybe 200 minutes in a billing cycle, but again that's not the point, outside i have full bar's, and i step indoors and i have roaming, how would that be my fualt, that's just Sprint's ****ty service;)
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
That sounds like a screwed up phone. Outside I get 3-4 bars out of 6. I step inside of my apartment building (which is a converted 18th century factory. Think brick, brick, brick and more brick...4 feet thick in places) and I drop to 1-2 bars out of 6. I do kick over to roaming far more than ever, and I know it's the phones fault. E4G didn't do this, Moment didn't do this, Lotus didn't do this. Hell, my 13 year old Samsung whatever 1st Sprint-generation Samsung doesn't even falter a single notch....it's the E3D, and yours sounds worse than most.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
With my OG Evo i could go into wal-mart with no issue, hoss's was still a roaming issue though, inside work home and anywhere not a problem, but with the 3d i roam in wal-mart and hoss's both, home and work still ok, mind you i work in a dealership litteraly in the center of a steel and concrete building with a weak signal in general, but never roaming, which confuses me why i'd roam in hoss's, lol, but sure it could be a combo of the phone and their network.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I think it comes down to a flaw in the coding regarding what tower to lock onto. Perhaps they were trying out something new or perhaps the newest PRL's reflect a major change in roaming agreements (which I have not heard of)...but our phones are not locking onto one tower. I don't know if it is a threshold setting or perhaps they are attempting some sort of "intelligent" signal hunting of some sort (intelligent for who? likely Sprint and their roaming partners)....whatever it is the net result for us is ****ty signal, tower hopping and constant roaming...though some phones definitely seem to exhibit this worse than others.

For what it's worth when I took a week off from the E3D and swapped it for an NS4G I did notice that while the NS4G had even worse signal strength that I did not go to roaming nearly as often and it did not exhibit the tower hopping phenomenon...which leads me to believe that it is in fact something (wrong) with the E3D.

...sucks, I love this phone, but, It just might be going back....again....tomorrow
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
I have noticed that since getting the E3D my signal drop to roam a lot more compared to my evo4g

[HTC EVO 3D] heygrl:
The only reason why the Evo 4G's reception seemed better is because of the antenna location. It's at the bottom on the Evo 3D and and the top of the Evo 4G.

[HTC EVO 3D] awenthol:
Funny you bring up the data thing. I have my E3D and Overdrive (both unlimited) and just got a notice that I'm "violating my terms" with my data usage on both lines. WTF? I only use data on 4G, for both. What do they care? Hopefully they do kill my Overdrive line so I can go to Clearwire or something.

Exactly...WTF?? If I'm in a "major" Sprint area and roaming all the time, how is this my fault???
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikedick:
I live in an area where the tower between 2 cities has been shot for over 3 months. The other towers are so spread out you get no signal. I was so happy when root came out so I could roam at work now, where I dont have an Airave. I seriously hope they do give me a call, so I can tell yet another Sprint rep to fix their ****. Im at the point of a few others here. If i'm using someone else's towers, why not just have their service?

Besides, if they put half the effort they put into having some of the better phones out there into making their network not suck, they'd probably be pretty decent.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
That's where I am at. I've already looked at the other 3. I'm torn between Verizon's expensive tiered ****-plans but massive nearly-perfect coverage around here or going to T-mobile and trying to get grandfathered in to an "Unlimited" plan before ATT rapes and pillages...not to mention their 3G and "4G" are really really fast around here...they throttle after whatever you pick to be your "unlimited" plan, but I bet it's still faster than Sprint "wide open", and sure more consistent.

Either way I've set my phone to "Automatic" and don't put it by the window anymore...I keep it on my desk--which is far more reasonable than by a window I'm never near...and sure as **** it's roaming constantly...I'll likely have the same result at work. I await my call or letter.

Edit: Anyone have any luck flashing an E3D to Verizon?

Hi Guys,

Since the time I Flashed the 4Ext Recovery 2.1, I am having very slow Bootloader..

When I power off my Phone and click Power + Menu to enter Bootloader I get this message on HBOOT at statu

This process like takes 30-40 secs now.. at first this screen used to appear for a second or two... but now its taking hell lot time and slow...

There is no .zip file in SDcard...

Whats wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
it always does that "search" for those files so don't worry about it, but never takes THAT long.. if you're S-OFF try flashing a new Hboot, could help.

If you're not S-OFF, then S-OFF using this, get different Hboots from here and check the MD5's with the tool attached - always check md5 of critical files before flashing as you can brick your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
actually I had done S-OFF some 2 months back and it was working fine.. The $Ext recovery i flashed is also working fine... takes atleast 10 secs to show the Recovery screen but still shows...

But it was after flashing this 4Ext recovery I got this error of Slow booting... it never hapened before it..

BTW I had flashed the recovery using Terminal Emulator... At first I tried using .zip file by lacing in SD card but it didnt work so I extracted the recovery.img file and flahed with terminal emulator...

Can it be possible that 4Ext recovery is causing this error...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
not entirely sure... but you could always try flashing a different recovery.. try the one from my signature and put it where in the tools folder of your android sdk for ease..

cd\
cd android-sdk/tools
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0-CM.img

you can use cmd or use fastboot commander.. whichever is easier for you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Maybe when you was trying to flash the recovery with PB99IMG.zip in HBOOT you then forgot to delete the file and it keep detecting it and trying to flash?

Just my 5 cents.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
If i just Place the Stock Hboot PB99IMG_stock.zipfrom alphrev site (after renaming to PB99IMG.zip) and enter Bootloader.. will it flash the Hboot auto?

and after flashing do I loose my ROM and all apps?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yes, just make sure to put it in the root of your sdcard. you "wont" lose all your data but you may be put into a bootloop because of the partition changes so do a nandroid backup
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
Hmmm... Don't think there will be partition changes since its same Stock Hboot I am reflashing...

Got to make backup now...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
oh yeah true, but it's still got practise to have a nandroid backup just in case, so you don't loose your data :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beardymarrow:
SOLVED

Thanks to jjdoctor, this was solved for me (was taking 2 mins plus for each of the 4 checks, totalling aprox 12mins for bootloader to run) by formatting the sdcard in my phone using 4ext recovery. I took a nandroid, copied off the sdcard contents, formatted the card (ext4 and fat32), and then restored the card contents, and then restored the nandroid. Works perfectly now.

jjdoctor fixed his/hers by creating the partitions using gparted on PC and then re-formatting in the phone, but I just formatted it straight on the phone. Hope it help someone else.

Just found an interesting bug.

Galaxy S1

JVP

2.3.4

1. Lock the phone (i have pattern swipe on)

2. Press center button to show lock pattern

3. Press emergency call

4. Press bottom right button (back button a few times)

Watch your phone start to call the last person you called over and over and over and over till you press the center home button.

Replication 70%

I changed my last call to a typed number and it wont do it now lol...

And changed the last call to the person it was before and it wont do it now...

So not sure how to get it back that way but seems to do it often when it's been in my pocket for a while.

Flashing to latest rom now.. Hopefully wont be there.

Just thought I would let people know. If there are rom developers here?
