[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
how is google a competitor ? they both sell android based devices. will microsoft be any less a competitor (nokia) in your theory ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Microsoft doesn't own Nokia. Google does (or soon will) own Motorola Mobility. As such, they will have a vested interest (and to a large extent, a fiduciary responsibility) regarding MotoMobile's financial success. Providing them a competitive advantage in the Android market is one way they could accomplish that.

If Microsoft were to do that for Nokia, my guess is that there would be antitrust lawsuits filed in pretty much every major country on Earth.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
understood about owned vs not owned by in the partnerships. the advantage of google branding so far has been vanilla roms. unless google starts subsidising handset costs, I don't see how motorolamobile will directly benefit...

or wait...

patent lawsuits. yes, patent lawsuits are the new rage. if oems fold to them (like we've seen recently) and continue to support a broken system of extortion, there is a need for a bigger partner.

how about everyone pay $1 per handset into a general fund, and when/if a company sues, they get $11 per violation, until its gone ? that might makes things sensible again.

I don't see having Motorola's patents being any kind of protection against patent wars after all MS is suing Motorola over Patent Infringement on their Android handsets. The only way this could help is if Google uses these patents to "upgrade" their OS with new techniques from those patents.

I recently tried out the Tiamat 1.1 kernel on MIUI 1.8.5 to see if it would alleviate the low in-call volume issue that is prevalent on AOSP roms. When i did, my wifi would only return an "error" status when i turned it on. I remember vaguely seeing where someone referenced that the iptables might be causing issues, but the problem doesn't seem to be widespread. Reflashing after wiping dalvik vm cache and system cache didn't help. Anyone else having this issue?

In my incredible s mobile gps fix is taking more time & sometime it wont fix at all...i have compared my mobile with my frds mobile (incredible s) in hes mobile it fix very quick.. but in my mobile its taking time to fix and most of time it wont fix the gps...

plz somebody solve these problem.....
[HTC Incredible S] DesGehtDiNixO:
Do you have a rooted device? Then you have some solutions for that problem. :)

Try FasterFix, manage & check your GPS with GPS Status & Fix

This is probably the best solution: Wipe efs cache
[HTC Incredible S] gliliumho:
Had some problem connecting to the satellite just now. It was cloudy.

Then I tried FasterFix and it DID solved my problem. Location fixed under 2 minutes. Thanks a lot. =)
[HTC Incredible S] docaneesh:
Mine didn't connect even after the device detected 12 satellites... even after keeping it on for 5 minutes, downloaded apps to monitor the progress of the gps fix... no luck..

I then downloaded an app called gps status and downloaded A-gps data for my area...

didn't really help,

then I turned off fast boot and restarted the phone and believe it or not I've been getting 4 second fixes now... I don't really know what did the job, but it works... just try it once, doesn't hurt to try :)
[HTC Incredible S] DesGehtDiNixO:

Because my charger keeps stopping (and the freezer trick works), I have to pretty much keep my charger in the freezer all the time when I'm not using it. This is really annoying!! Besides buying the Dynex universal charger or soldering my own charger, are there any other fixes yet for this awful charging issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashbrown:
I have trouble with the charger also, the cable is fine though. The one thing that has worked for me is running it on my car charger. its a 12v power converter and works everytime. ofcourse, you try this and bring it back to the wall charger. I would try that before going out and buying another charger.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxq TZ pxX:
Do you mean a power inverter? Is the only place you can reliably charge your TF in your car?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Can you RMA your charger? Asus sells the charger and cable on their site, so they are available. If you want to buy one in a store they are available. I don't know where you are, but here in the US Office Depot sells the pair for $30.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxq TZ pxX:
Yes, but the concern is that so many people are having this problem. Who's to say that if I RMA the charger, the replacement charger I get won't start doing the same thing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
No guarantee, but there are plenty of people like me that have never had an issue (other than the USB 3 cable is too short).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xxq TZ pxX:
Well that's good to hear... That is the first time ever hearing that someones charger is working properly!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosscobley:
Hi guys

I have a desire bravo that i updated to the new gingerbread ruu when it came out.

Sorry but i have a few questions. Im on holiday at the moment and im using my desire wifi hotspot to use the internet at the moment so i really dont want to mess it up.

1) I used the clockwork mod to S-off and install a custom recovery this morning.

I know that the S-Off worked and i manged to install the custom recovery as the superuser app has shown up in my menu and the hboot menu shows S-Off.

First thing i did was to do a back up that i have saved to my computer..

I then moved on to Root the rom and it showed as being complete

When i installed root check from the market i get some problems. The first is : Application superuser has stopped unexpectedly. I have to force close the app to continue. Root check then tells me that "Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted"

Anyone have any ideas about what i did wrong ???

2) if i cant root the rom should i just install a new custom rom. Does anyone know what is the best GB rom with a new sense (not bothered about what one) i should install. Not worried about App to sd yet as i thought if i start small with a stable rom then i can always change to a rom with app to sd built in at a later time once i get used to changing roms

Thanks for your help as i said i really dont want to brick the phone as i will lost internet access and will be stuck till i get home.

Thanks Guys

BTW big thanks to the clockwork guys for all there hard work :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
When your phone is s-off, you don't have to root it (or rather the os). So if the s-off process finishes (you cannot s-off with a recovery, so I assume you did it with revolutionary), just flash a rom with root access and you're done.

There is no "best rom". It depends on personal preferences. Just try. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosscobley:
yes i used the revolutionary way to s-off and install the recovery files and i have to say it works very very well very easy to understand

Thanks for the info about rooting the rom. I think i understand now :)

so can i install any rom now as i updated to the offical gingerbread ruu when it came out ?

If so can you recommend a good gingerbread rom with a newish sense on ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
After you run the revolutionary process successful, flash a custom recovery with fastboot (how to use fastboot -> see my sig). I recommend 4ext or rmd. Now boot into recovery, make a full wipe and flash any rom you want (save important first). Just follow the given instructions in the corresponding thread.

For the sense rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=809328
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosscobley:
thanks guys. I think im going to give the AceSMod007-Lite (Sense2.1+3.0 GB ) a go as a lot of people recommend it. 1 quick question.

Can i install this rom even though i installed the offical RUU Gingerbread update and s-off'ed using revolutionary??

Thanks Guys
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosscobley:
sorry one more question.

I did a backup of my rom via recovery. If i dont like the new Rom can i just restore to my standard rom via retore in recovery mode?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Yes, you can. Just wipe everything and restore. If you cannot to this, a backup would be senseless, don't you think? :D

Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosscobley:
Thank you soooooooo much. I just flashed the rom and eveything is working perfect :)

my phone now shows that i have :

34.27 MB on /data

3.97 MB on /System

hey

do anybody know a rom for daily use. i tried this rom but gps is not working. i need a fast stable and working rom.

greets from germany
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] catapult1234:
I use CodeROM v2x-2b for daily use. Stable and fast and stock look (which i like).

But in the end its always a matter of personal preference.

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] techvish81:
U can flash plain xwkpn, it,s fast and stable. And very good battery life compared to custom roms and its official Samsung multi csc firmware so there will be least issues in performance.

U will find a tutorial to flash it. (Xwkpn Spain) ..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tamhaeda:
Use original stock ROM

In my opinion, if you want to use your phone as a daily use phone, just leave it as is. Simply use the original ROM, less problems. In case of something happen, service center will take care of it and if it is covered by the warranty, You will probably be free of charge (condition apply).

But it depends on how the "daily use" requirements, Back to the personal preference.

For me, eventhough I use the phone for daily use but I want to explore how my SGA does with some custom ROMs. Just to get a feeling of "WOW" when I get something more from my phone.

Again, it back to your preferences.

Regards,

Tamhaeda
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] llvllaster:
If you absolutely want a custom rom, i can strongly recommend coderom v2-2b.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] (noob):
Just try different Versions. Otherwise you wont find the ROM you want to find.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 53ty4:
From my experience, u must decide how u prefer using your ace. If u want fast it may cost your ace battery life, on the other hand if u want your phone to last longer it will cost u decreasing your performance or killing running background app event just using only 2g network.

I'ts all about how u configure your phone to meet your needs, roms just a way to get better operating system for your ace, different people, different needs.. So they will offer u different roms.. :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eray62:
hi

thanks for so many answers, now i´m trying some different roms.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] er.davinder:
what better than Stock??? i support Stock :D

if you have any trouble you can straight go to the service center unlike custom roms
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WorldOfJohnboy:
So my wife's Inc2 has been rooted for a few weeks and I installed a 2.3 Sense ROM for her shortly thereafter.

All of the sudden, her phone keeps rebooting and then "freezes" on a screen that has the Exclamation Point inside a triangle with a little green droid character under it. (My wife put a fresh battery in, it boots up into the ROM for about 10 seconds, then says "Powering off: Shutting down..." and goes into the error screen.)

So far, I have tried the following:

Turned airplane mode on.

Booted into safe mode.

Booted into CW Recovery, backed up, then re-flashed the ROM.

Ran a restore from a backup from a couple of weeks ago, which was pre-custom ROM.

Flashed the 2.3 Radio

Flashed a new Kernel

No matter what, I always get it to boot for a split-second and then it boots into Exclamation Point error.

Anyone think of what is causing this to do this after running for two weeks + in the current condition with no issues? What does this mysterious screen mean that it boots into? Any fix I can run via HBoot, Fastboot or Recovery?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WorldOfJohnboy:
Bumping, no one seems to be able to tell me a thing on what this means, what can be done to fix, etc. Any help is appreciated.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dalamar1320:
Wipe cache, dalvik, and system, then flash a different ROM.

If it continues after that then its likely the phone. And nothing to do with root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
Any chance you can take a picture of said screen?

What's weird, it sounds like you're describing the stock recovery screen. But you're still able to access CWM?

You probably want to update CWM on the phone and see if that helps out, one thing you want to do instead of changing kernels is re flash the rom again. Once it reflashes wipe data/cache (Do a factory reset basically) as well as the dalvik cache and boot into the ROM without restoring anything.

Just sign into google and see if it stays up and stable at this point, if it does something that's being restored is probably the culprit or a bad app that continuously tries to run.

By the way, the phone comes with stock sense 2.1, above that is sense 3.0

2.3 is the version of android that runs behind sense. Either 2.3.3/2.3.4/2.3.5 are all versions of gingerbread.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
Try a different rom, if it continues, it's probably a hardware problem. My wife's first Incredible rebooted constantly, probably upwards of 2 dozen times a day. We had it replaced and the new one has been fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WorldOfJohnboy:
Update: I restored a backup of a previous CWR backup back in July. Shortly after I booted into the restored ROM (it was Stock rooted), it automatically tried to download the OTA software update.

Anyone think that perhaps the phone is automatically DLing the OTA and then rebooting and failing upon doing so? That is the only thing I can come up with at this point. (Though, back when this first started happening, I was on a GB ROM with Sense 3.0, so I wouldn't think the OTA would try to push over that ROM.)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jtseidner:
I thought I read some where that other INC2 users were having similiar issues and it was due to the new android market OTA update.

Edit: Nevermind the other thread here in the forum suggests it could be some kind of HTC OTA update that is messing things up.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klarson:
Weird. OTAs are usually disabled. Did you wipe dalvik/cache and flash a new rom?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WorldOfJohnboy:
I am in the process now, but I have had a GB/Sense 3.0 ROM as well as stock GB Rooted, both have ended up doing the same thing. I think I am going to manually cancel the OTA after flashing a new ROM to see if that will stop it from automatically doing so (if that is the issue).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Conduitz:
Pretty sure its the market new market push. I had the same issue, I set the phone to airplane, shut it down before the automated shutdown to retain the airplane mode, then cleared dalvik cache and system cache, and then rebooted. I got some BS message about a failed OTA because no network was detected, told it to cancel, dl'ed the new market APK installed it, not an issue since.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
It's not the new market. It has something to do with the OTA's on your phone. Regardless if the OTA was actually downloaded onto your phone or not it's going to fail because the stock recovery is no longer the default recovery which is one of the prerequisites it needs to install.

A wipe is needed to keep this from happening, at least load up the gingersense ROM and that should get rid of the temp OTA file that was downloaded to your phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WorldOfJohnboy:
jrizk07: I would agree with you, but this will be the 3rd time I have wiped the phone, the 2nd time loading a Gingerbread based ROM.

I wiped all items twice, and flashed this ROM: [ROM] RMK Gingerbread Sense r1 :: 2.18.605.3 (Rooted/Deodexed/Debloated)

Will let you know the results.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jrizk07:
What i'm hoping is that the OTA files are on the phone and will get wiped with a new ROM. However if they're stored on the SD card all the wiping in the world won't help.

I'm not sure where the OTA files are stored and would like someone to verify for certain if that's the case. I'm just speculating right now on where it's stored but I know the market update is done just like the apps not an OTA.

I also know that the OTA will prompt you for the download. You know the whole download and install now or install later deal?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] WorldOfJohnboy:
Well, did a wipe of all things (twice) and installed my fresh ROM. This time after installing all my Apps and doing my restores, etc, I went into the Settings under Software Update and did a check new, it says "No New Software Update Available." Also, under status, it just says the Source is Verizon Wireless, the rest are blank. (I believe at one time, all the fields were populated.)

I am holding out hope that this will work for us. Anyone know of a piece of software, etc. that will log all of the phone's operations? I am curious to see if it is trying to auto-update with OTA software updates.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spyraling:
I'm having the same problem. I can't even get it to wipe because when I start in recovery it goes straight to do you want to start update and if I try to start the phone it restarts and I get the exclamation point. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] spyraling:
Update

I took the sd card out and was able to boot to recovery and do a wipe. Phone is working normally for now, how would I go about disabling the OTA's so it doesn't happen again?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] maniac2k:
I can confirm this is being caused by an ota update. Have 2 inc 2's and both locked up. Both running rmk gingersense. Fixed by clearing cache and davlik. Rebooted phone and saw failed ota update error. Renamed otacerts.zip until rom is fixed. Otacerts is located in /system/etc/security.
