[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ben805:
Which sense 3.0 rom do you guys prefer and why? just curious ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Taebom:
I'm running sensation right now. I followed newtoroot from the og Inc and he is a great dev. Great features and everything I need works so this is going to be my daily other than Miui.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yoitsbry:
I would consider Virtuous Unity a more complete ROM. I have had no problems at all since installing. For those looking for the global option though they would have to try NEWTs ROM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianMenace:
Was using my Inc as a GPS on the way to work today when it rebooted. Now it won't go past white "htc incredible" screen, it will sit there then vibrates once and reboots. I can get into hboot, but if I select recovery I get the same white HTC screen and more boot loops. Battery pull didn't fix anything.

What are my options?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianMenace:
Ok did a bit of searching and looks like I may be down to 2 options:

1. flash recovery hboot

2. flash stock PB31IMG from dougpiston's site from hboot. (however, would having s-off be an issue? how about leaked radio?)

For now will hold off and see if I can get any other ideas before I start flashing things.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianMenace:
Looks like its time to shop for a new phone, as this one seems to be a gonner. Flashed sock RUU, still same bootloop.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kratz17:
If you got amoled Dinc I have the files
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kratz17:
So first you need access to a SD card. Make sure is formatted to fat32

Download and copy this file to the root of your SD card and rename it to PB31IMG

http://db.tt/6u9pc2n

Reboot into hboot and flash it.

After that's done DO NOT REBOOT DONT TOUCH ANYTHING JUST PULL THE BATTERY WHEN IS DONE FLASHING

Now get access to the SD card again delete the first file (the one you just flashed)

Now Download and copy this file to the root of your SD card and rename it to PB31IMG

http://db.tt/RQkuXlu

Reboot into hboot flash it (it will take like 5 to 6 minutes) when done reboot. You are done my friend:cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sac's Droid:
hey guys I am having a similar problem. I was using cm7 nightly 164 i believe, had just flashed a spash screen and custom boot animation, my sig will say what radio i was using, but my phone was just charging when it happened. I cannot access cmw either. I flashed my oldest PB31IMG that had 1.00.3 radio, hboot .79 i have s-off but even after flashing that it didn't fix. Kratz I hope your stuff works will be reporting in

*Edit* just flashed them both in correct order. still stuck in boot loop
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianMenace:
Same result, no dice. :(

Oh well, already have a dinc on the way from fleabay. Thanks for all the help guys.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vernox701:
Sounds like you you overheated the radio replacement is best had that happen twice
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianMenace:
That's really odd, I've never heard of this happening before, then again I haven't really been looking at overheating issues. Wouldn't really surprise me considering ir died mid GPS guidance, though it didn't really feel any warmer than usual...but sometimes electronics just crap out.

I just wish it had waited until HTC Vigor or at the least, Bionic hit the shelves before it crapped out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJGO23:
This happened to me once, all I had to do was reflash CWM.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sac's Droid:
well brethren, I will be bidding you farewell. I called Assurion for my insurance replacement and they are giving me a new droid incredible 2 instead
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianMenace:
This was the first thing I tried. :(

Good deal. I ended up picking up another DInc from fleabay for $100 shipped...should last me till Vigor (or something better) comes out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sac's Droid:
Nice deal!

I just hope they don't take a look at the hboot seeing as i still have s-off but I'm hoping there is a way I can turn it back on from bootloader

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcorp6:
Hi guys,

I was wondering if there were currently any stable overclock kernels out there compatible with an htc desire z running android 2.3.3 with sense 2.1??

Cheers :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Are you rooted?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcorp6:
yes i am rooted
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Are you just using the stock Desire Z ROM or a custom ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcorp6:
I'm just on the stock ROM. The newest version that htc released.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
I can't say for certain that these will work with the stock ROM, but they are your best bet.

UnityV4

Virtuous Sense a7

Have you conisidered try a custom ROM? if you want to keep it as stock as possible I recommended Virtuous Sense 2.0
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
Try unity v4 kernel, its for all sense based runs. Let's you OC up to 1.7 ghz. Link is in my signature.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcorp6:
Thanks a lot ill try them both...

I don't actually want to try a custom ROM right now, as i really like the stock one as it is. I may well try that one though when im bored of it! Is that sense 2.1 or just 2.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
It is sense 2.1, it is based off the official 2.3.3 DZ update, think of it as what you have all ready but with optimizations.

Oh and welcome to the DZ forums. :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcorp6:
Just took a look at it and it does look pretty good! Might try installing that...

This is actually my first time doing this, do you mind helping me out a bit? From what i understand i need to download ROM manager, flash clockworkrecovery or something? then just install from sd?? is that right?

Thanks for all your help! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
That is correct, download rom manager, flash CWM, boot in to CWM and flash .zip

Easy, but if you need anymore help, hop over to the Virtuous Rom IRC and I will be happy to talk you through it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcorp6:
Ok cool, I'm going to try it now.

Will tell u how it goes!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredcorp6:
Just found out that the OTA update unrooted my phone.. been trying to root it again but can't work out how :/

Do any of u guys know how?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
There is a way but I'm very well versed in how to do it. If you read the DZ/G2 wiki it links you to a guide on to root 2.3.3.

if you need further help head to the 'G2ROOT IRC channel
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosfenix:
Howdy all! I searched at home last night and again this morning on my phone but have been unable to find help on my particular issue.

I just flashed randomrom hawk and randomking replaced the stock clock app (with the gentle wakeup options that I need to prevent a heart attack every morning) with the desk clock app.

I've tried two methods but to no avail:

1. Using root explorer I copied the stock app into /system/app and modified the permissions to match the rest of the folder (rw-r--r-- I think, anyway it matches), then rebooting

2. I added the apk directly to the zip file and reflashed (checking with root explorer, permissions still match

In both cases, all of the functions work EXCEPT creating an alarm (timer, etc are fine) which causes an immediate force close.

Does it have to do with randomrom being deodexed and the app is from a stock rom? Any help would be greatly apprciated!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bryanb82:
I just noticed that the KH1 rom came with some new apps and one of them is SD booster. Does anybody know if this really improves speeds? If so whats the best cache size for our phone? Right know it says current cache is set at 2048 but im not sure what to change it to so any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I had trouble setting cache sizes larger, video recording would fail at 720p using the camcorder app. If you want to test raw read/write speeds for different cache sizes, change them and test with this app:

https://market.android.com/details?id=ales.veluscek.sdtools

I have my card's cache back to the default 128 kb and haven't had camcorder recording problems, plus I don't notice a speed decrease.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
SD Booster definitely improves the read/write speed. Try setting the cache size to 1024. Many people also suggested this speed after conducting tests. If you're interested, you can test it out yourself. Just download AnTuTu Benchmark and run the SD card test.

With the default cache size, my read/write speeds were about 3/10 MB. With the cache at 1024, I get about 5/12 MB.

I didn't experiment with the camera yet, but you can try that.
[Dell Streak 7] festis88:
Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out what wifi module the streak uses without actully opening the tablet. Usually I would go ahead and reference a teardown, but the only teardown I've seen is a foreign youtube video set to music that doesn't provide any info on the internal components.

Has anyone taken their Streak 7 apart, and if so, do you happen to know what wifi module it uses?

Thanks,

[HTC EVO 3D] adempozhari:
I am always confused between CDMA and GSM...

Why a 4 band phone ,Evo 3d will not work in Europe?

BTW I am searching to buy one at Ebay. the search shows only Spirit branded phones. do they work in Europe (GSM)?

What is ESN clean or Bad ESN? Whats is the meaning of "unlocked" and if i buy a locked one can i unlock it by my self?

Thank You :confused: :confused: :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I'm far from the expert so I'll give your questions my best shot and maybe somebody else with more experience on GSM can fill in some of the gaps.

bad/clean ESN only applies to CDMA. CDMA does not use a SIM card. once a CDMA phone has had its ESN marked as bad, it will not operate on that carrier. example, sprint (only CDMA network) evo 3d, the owner doesnt pay his bills, they mark the ESN as Bad for that device. if he sells the evo 3d, it can't be activated on sprint's cdma network. if you want to activate it on another CDMA network, like metropcs, it is doable, but sometimes considered a legally *gray* area.

"unlocked" in regards to the carrier of the device only applies to GSM type devices. on GSM type devices, once they has been "unlocked" they will operate on any GSM carrier.

i'm not about the band count, i.e. 4 band GSM. i would suggest looking at which frequencies are used in those bands and matching them up by frequencies and GSM/CDMA. as your profile is marked albania, i think most of europe uses GSM so CDMA will probably not be useful for you.

hope that helps some of the questions!
[HTC EVO 3D] adempozhari:
:) thank you... you were very clear.

still searching for the last question. If i buy a locked GSM phone, can i unlock it here by myself or i have to buy unlock code?
[HTC EVO 3D] Uchennadi:
Well, doesn't all phones come unlocked in Europe anyway? Locking applies to GSM phones, and I've always thought only north American carriers do that. For example, if you, living in Europe, wanted the infuse 4G which is locked to ATT in America, you would need to unlock it to use it. Moreover, you must make sure the phone's frequencies match your carrier's. If I'm not mistaken, I think unlocking an Android phone is similar to rooting it. It's a different process all together, but its something you would do on your own.

Before Android tho, you simply need to call your carrier, tell them you're traveling overseas and you wanna use your phone there, and they'll give you the unlock code. Use some special commands to bring up the carrier unlock screen, input the unlock code, and bam, you're good to go.

I don't know if you still need an unlock code with Android phones, but if you want it, you would get it from the carrier of the phone.

You won't see any unlocking tutorials for the EVO 3d in the forums for the obvious reason that its cdma phone in America. But I'm sure once its released on Tmo-us, then there'll be a method.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] boesky:
That may be all well and true but remember how Google stated that there wouldn't be a successor to the Nexus One (my beloved)? Well, they kinda went rogue on that promise and came up with the Nexus S (my girlfriend's beloved) out of nowhere.

So.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Never really like any of Moto's Android phones - but now that Google's in charge.. I wonder what the manufacturer of the first ever consumer mobile phone (DynaTek? Startec?) can come up with next year :cool:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Basically it just looks like Motorola MAY make the Nexus 3, but it isn't the exclusive manufacturer. But if you think of it, there aren't many big cell phone manufacturers left who haven't already made a Nexus device, so it might only be a matter of time before Motorola makes a Nexus phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] DannyDroid:
Motorola has been stated to be the next manufacturer way before Google put a bid in so it could still see a Motorola Nexus this year.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
Hey people.

I've installed now MiniCM7 v2.0.5 because of it's stability and lightness comparing to GingerDX (it's my opinion, i'm probably wrong, but for my use MiniCM7 is more stable, light and fast, if you think GingerDX is more stable and light i don't think that). But there is one big problem, the 2d performence is really bad, and scrooling is so laggy that makes my eyes go out of the screen.

So, i'm asking if someone can point me something to improve the 2D performance. GingerDX has a very good 2D performence, so can someone point me the files that i have to copy from GingerDX to "copy" that 2D improvements made by our great developer Doixanh?

Anyone can give me the commands? I forget.
