[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndstrctbl:
Now after a few days running this rom battery life seems to be decreasing even though nothing changes with the battery use. Keep in mind I I only got 13 hours with 8 hours of my phone being completely idle(gotta sleep sometime lol). I ran Pandora for an hour then sent texts here and there throughout the day until it died. Never used GPS. For some reason it doesn't matter what rom I use, battery usually drains at the same rate as described. No matter what tweaks I make to try and increase it

[Acer Iconia A500] v.p.please:
My Acer a500 is in a "unique" boot loop. When I power it on I get ACER, ANDROID, it boots to the regular interface, then freezes after 2 seconds and restarts. I've already tried Hard Reset. Power plus volume down I get a friendly android with a yellow triangle and an exclamation point. Please help...
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
There's nothing unique about your bootloop at all. There are dozens of threads about virtually the same thing, and the solution is ALWAYS the same so use the search function.

Download an FOTA ROM from the clearly labelled thread and follow the instructions to flash it. If you get the exclamation mark, the problem is your SD card. Reformat it or try another one.
[Acer Iconia A500] v.p.please:
N.O.K

I need a detailed description with what I need to do.

I have an sd card.

I have the acer update decrypter.

I may have to reformat my sd card.

If I do need to reformat my sd card, how do i do that?
[Acer Iconia A500] v.p.please:
FOTA

I downloaded the FOTA ROM, uploaded to sd card, tried to flash, no good. I need a bullet.
[Acer Iconia A500] phoenixbennu:
yeah, recovery image is bad. I used to get the exclamation mark myself but then I had to use the acer recovery image and install the cwm recovery image. When it tried to identify my old one it couldnt because it was bad. I even tried a master reset and had it rooted and all that. Its possible that rooting the device caused the issue, but i am not sure. The best thing to do would be to try the reset button on the side. The truth is that you wont be able to enter recovery mode it seems.

I may be completely wrong here. I am no expert on this particular problem, just a lowly computer specialist that is more about smartphones than tablets haha. Try and search around as well and follow some of the steps listed in some of the other threads. The contributors here at XDA are awesome, and definitely worth being mine and many others primary landing page for modding, roms, etc.

Since the new ota root this forum is like it was a year ago...how do I tether, how do I root, whats a good rom, how do I flash, I think I bricked my phone, I'm stuck at bootloader..etc
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
Yup. That's pretty much in a nutshell how these things work around here. No sense in getting particularly agitated about it, if nothing else this may be a good chance to take a breather from the site for a bit while things settle down. At the very least just stick to the development forum to keep tabs on the latest roms and kernels.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
What is root?

And why do I need it?
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Even in the week leading up to the root being released I couldn't believe how many newbies we were getting in the forum. I guess they come in waves, and now that you can get the EVO free on contract I guess you'll just see more.

Ok to start off... Hi im new here and to rooting in general so if I ask something stupid please forgive me... So here goes, I have gained perm s-off root for my Sensation using revolutionary and im attempting to install a rom/kernel but I keep getting the same error while trying to flash it "write_raw_image ("/tmp/newboot.img" , "boot"... I got the rom/kernel from this site and placed the file in my root directory as well as download directory and went into clockwork recovery to install from sdcard and this error keeps popping up? Ive tried searching but all I can find is something about an evo for sprint... PLEASE HELP im trying to overclock this thing to see what its really capable of and I cant get past this part... Thanks in advance, Travis :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
what ver of CWM are you running? also, which rom/kernel?
[HTC Sensation] tkemp:
not sure how to tell the version of clockwork but the LeeDrOiD kernels and also the RCmix kernels... getting the same error msg. Thanks for your quick responce ive been messing with this since 5am this morning
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
when u load CWM, it will say the ver @ the top...

also, try re-downloading the kernel or match the MD5's to make sure they are complete...also try unity kernel and see if it happens with that one
[HTC Sensation] tkemp:
ahh got it... ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.5 match the md5's? like i said im new to this so im not really sure what that is
[HTC Sensation] tkemp:
same error using the unity kernel
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
chances are its either a bad sd card, or you might have to update your radio, most of the new roms require the latest one...

THERE IS A GREAT RISK IF IT FAILS, BUT THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM WHEN FLASHING FROM SD

EDIT* are you rooted?

before you try this, try using another SD card to eliminate the possibility of a faulty/corrupt sd card!

instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178143

Recommended Radio: 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01

the easiest way to flash a new radio is to copy the PG58IMG.zip to root of sd card, go into recovery, it will load automatically, say yes to update, and when it reboots, and asks to update onse more (its automatic), pull the battery and then remove the file PG58IMG.zip from the sd card.

boot back into CWM and try flashing again

hopefully that helps

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
Hey all, unfortunately I havent been keeping current backups like i should and after i installed cynogen 7 I think it formatted my external SD card... what is the best tool or way to get my data back? So far ive used Search and recover by iolo for alot of my pictures ( for some reason i have like 1300 but it recovered like 9500. yay awesome duplicates :P ) and now im using this other tool to get some of the videos back and iolo also got a few zips, but my question is, is that common to happen occasionally? and is there a program specifically targeted for this problem? Like does our phones use the FAT32 format or is it some linux specific format? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Nero:
That's why you should remove your external SD card and Sim card before flashing a ROM, weird **** happens sometimes with them in.

As for the FAT32 thing I'm more then pretty sure it is.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannb:
Don't mean to resurrect a dead thread or anything, but something similar just happened to me, except it didn't happen during a flash.

I've been running CM7 for a week now, and flashed it with the SD card out, but for some reason today my external card ended up formatted and replaced with 4 files with indecipherable file names and a folder called LOST.DIR, which is empty. I haven't even run CWM recovery in the last couple of days. I guess from my limited research this indicates some corrupted data or something, but it's the first time this has happened. I have no idea. Any thoughts?

What do u exactly mean?..I dont get it..Please explain. I use the ace hack kit, then root, s-radio off and unlock etc etc etc...then r u telling me during the installation of stock ROM I can install GB rooted!!!!!!What do u mean exactly when you say

"Attn1 ace hack kit v12.3 works on gb"

..What do u mean dude??!?!..Please clarify....not clear...If u rooted att 2.3 Gb please can u specify the steps using hack kitv12.3...Please more clarity pleaseee!!!!...I really want to do this

Thank you

-D
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
What he means is the new version of the hack kit will root stock phones that have already been upgraded to Gingerbread. The hack kit is straight up and really easy to use. The key is making sure you have done everything required to run it beforehand. No outdated MS framework and Java, good USB drivers with Sync uninstalled, good gold card, antivirus and malware protection completely disabled or uninstalled, phone in debugging and charge only mode. From there it is just a matter of making selections in the menu. The hack kit will leave you with the downgrade rom, so you will want to immediately flash a rom. It would be a good idea to already have it downloaded and ready to go.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Zaiaku:
My freind was about to flash his own milestone with a new rom. Decided to do a nandroid baccup first. The progress never went bass "boot: dumping..." even after 30 min. So he took the battery out. Now the phone will not turn on. Tried plugging it into a charger, reseting the battery... still nothing.

Tried searching first and everyone was doing something different then him so trying to help him out there.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
Try turning the phone on by plugging it into the wall charger without the battery on. Then put the battery back in once it's booted.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Zaiaku:
Tried that too and still nothing.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Zaiaku:
Also tried switch to another battery and still not working. I can not get the phone to turn on at all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
So I removed the stock swype from the Photon because well it just isnt the one I like. So I got the new 3.0 and installed it. It worked perfectly until I restarted. Then I got force close after force close until I disabled swype. Not sure why this is happeneing I did this when we just had root and it did this originally but I reinstalled and got it to work fine after reboots. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] eibbojtir:
Same thing happened to me. The new 3.0 worked great until a reboot, then I got a ton of force closes. I uninstalled 3.0, trashed the new lib, and reinstalled. She's been solid through several reboots since.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Prob not what you want to hear but on the Swype site on the 3.0 download page it says that if your phone came with Sywpe 3.0 beta will not work on your device.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jwischka:
You have to delete the Swype that came with it before it will even install 3.0.

I had similar problems. My solution was to disable Swype 3.0, uninstall (using manage applications), then reinstall. As stated before, I've been solid through several reboots since.
[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
When you remove the included swype you also need to remove /system/lib/lib Swype forensic
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Thats the one I missed and now all is good. If you install the new one and then uninstall it, then reinstall it it works perfect. lol

thanks all
[Motorola Photon 4G] Outer Marker:
Will this be removed correctly if you use Titanium Backup to perform the removal of Swype?
[Motorola Photon 4G] atomb:
Nope, I already tried that and it didn't remove the lib file
[Motorola Photon 4G] Outer Marker:
Where are you guys getting the new swype from? The official website says the beta won't work if your device came pre-installed with swype. Is there a non-beta version available?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jwischka:
the beta will work if your remove the older version first.
[Motorola Photon 4G] caffeiNater:
Has anyone been able to find a hacked version of the new Nexus-exclusive Swype? I've searched without success...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Trying to delete /system/lib/libSwypecore.so but it says insufficiant privleges or can not be deleted, or that its a read only file in root explorer. I am rooted, but a semi novice at this. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikel719:
on the top of root explorer you need to clock on r/w to make the system rewritable
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Just figured that out before your post, but thanks anyway for the help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rancherochido:
I froze Swype with TB and installed the beta. now it says its updated and works fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sidewinder7:
Night and day between Swype 3.25 beta and the one that was installed 2.7. Loving 3.25.

At this point my phone went to a black HTC screen and stopped there. It never restarted just froze. I left it alone for about 10 min. but nothing happened. Did I do something wrong??

[G2 and Desire Z General] Deleted member 2758866:
I'm looking at getting a G2, long story short, its a T mobile version and I have att. They told me if I unlock it, I can get att 3g. However, I had read somewhere that you have to have a bell desire z to get att 3g. I really like the phone but I also don't want to give up my 3g. Is it true I just have to unlock it to get att 3g?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
whoever told you the g2 will be able to get 3G from at&t has no idea what they're talking about.

You need to get the bell canada Desire Z (A7275) since its hardware 3G uses the same one as AT&T. Tmo uses a completely different set of spectrum for their 3G.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Deleted member 2758866:
Thank you. I've looked and looked. I knew the frequencies were different and I searched and searched with no luck on finding a method. I really want a G2 and have for a long time. I just can't give up anymore than 3G. I get H+ on my Captivate. :-)

Looks like I'll be sticking with the Captivate, I don't want to pay the inflated price for a Desire-Z with AT&T 3G.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
does ATT not have H+? i coulda sworn when i was in florida i had H+ on my DZ with ATT. :s

edit: i can get u a pretty much new dz for 200-300cdn. theres lots of em for sale on kijiji in edmonton.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
The T-mobile G2 won't work on AT&T for 3G. You can get EDGE and that's it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
Yes, I also get H+ on my DZ in Northern California on ATT.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
You do pay a premium for a DZ with the 3G bands but you can also use a 'Media Net' data plan in place of the smart phone plan (as long as you aren't tethering) I pay $10/month for unlimited data right now. Compared to the $30 they charge for unlimited (if you were grandfathered in) or $25 for 2GB, you will make your money back over the course of the typical two year contract we'd have to sign to get a subsidized phone from ATT.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Deleted member 2758866:
On the Captivate, you can get H+ but it has to have a ROM that supports it. It doesn't come with support out of the box.

A person offered me a G2, a sidekick, and a mytouch 3g for my Dell streak 7 tablet. I really like the G2 and I'm thinking about it, however, I probably wont due to the 3G issue unless I just resell the stuff.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
i personally wouldnt. if u want a g2 that bad find someone on here whos selling. honestly no more than $300 will get u a pretty much brand new canadian DZ. even though they still sell at bell for 499.99.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Deleted member 2758866:
You're right, I decided not to. I'm just going to save my cash and wait for the SGSII.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joe_kenda11:
gbarayah,

I have an HTC Desire Z (a7275) unlocked from Bell Mobile, and I'm currently on AT&T's $10/month unlimited plan. Only problem is I'm stuck on Edge like the G2. Are there special MEdia Net APN settings which give you access to AT&T 3g?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
Its probably the plan, I was on a pay as u go plan when I was in florida and I had H+ , id say its unlimited because they restrict u to edge lol. I dunno tho I'm a canuck and only use att when I'm down for spring break :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] arsonist63086:
Its not the plan ... its the hardware . If the phones radio does no support the carriers 3g frequency it will always be on 2g/edge no matter wat apn u use
[G2 and Desire Z General] joe_kenda11:
That'll explain why the G2 doesn't get 3g on ATT's network. But as for my Desire Z

a7275, looks like there's something wrong with my Phone's hardware. It's supposed to pull in 3g 850mhz and 1900mhz bands, which my area is smothered in (I live right outside Philadelphia).

I shouldn't complain because I'm still on a &10/month unlimited plan and I've already surpassed my previous 200mb cap just on EDGE and WiFi.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Its not his hardware. The A7275 (Bell Canada version) of the DZ has the exact bands (850/1900) to work on AT&T's network nationwide. Its the phone I have, and AT&T is my carrier. Bell Canada and AT&T use the same 3G bands.

I use the APN settings below. If that doesn't work, its the plan. Pretty sure its the plan, as I seem to recall other folks on here on the $10/month plan mention that they are limited to EDGE.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
Precisely what I tried to explain. Its not your device. As like I said I've used my canadian DZ on att 3g before.

If u look at it from the carriers point of view...10 dollar unlimited data?? For sure it'd have to be locked to edge....at least that's how it works up here in the great white north. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!

I would say everything is working normally, but on the bright side you'd get a lot better battery life on edge only...at least I do when I go edge only :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
it's the plan. 10 buck plans are limited to edge. you dont get 3g with that. as long as you do not have the g2, you can get 3G on the bell canada DZ
[G2 and Desire Z General] joe_kenda11:
ehh I'll take it

I'd pay $10/month for dial-up speeds, let-alone 2.5g unlimited. 100kbs/s is what I'll settle for when I'm not on WiFi.

Thanks for the help, guys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
I am on a $10/month media net plan and I get H+ speeds on AT&T. I have had the feature on my plan since they first switched to 3G in my area.

I get comparable speeds on my Bell XT860 as I did on my desire z. See speed test results in my signature.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kaijura:
That's rather interesting, I didn't know you could force an "EDGE Plan" on a Desire Z/A7275.

I'm currently on the A7275 with AT&T, using $10/month dumbphone plan with the unlimited messaging feature (select that first to get unlimited dumbphone data). I get HSDPA/UTMS without issues, EGDE is only when I'm in a bad area.

And yeah, generally I get anywhere from 1, 2-4Mbits/sec depending on the day and time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
yeah, you can enforce an edge plan on any phone. that' is carrier dependent. when i was in thailand back when 3G was just starting up, you have to actually call them for 3G service otherwise you're stuck on edge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joe_kenda11:
I'm tempted to call them and see if they'll turn 3g on for me, but I'm a little nervous that they'll catch me using a smartphone when they pull up my cellular information. Last time they dinged me for using an ATT branded HTC tilt 2 (probably recognized by the IMEI number) and automatically added the data plan.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
they will ding you for it.

stick with what you've got unless you want to pay, what was it? 20 a month for 2gb of data?.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joe_kenda11:
$25 actually. Guess I'll just play it safe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joe_kenda11:
Now I get H+ speeds

I learned something from the last place I thought I'd look, the ATT help forums. Apparently, my phone was set to "GSM" only instead of "WCDMA," which I suppose controls what bands your phone will pull in for data connectivity. I was able to change this setting in the mobile networks section of my phone, but I also found that it may be forced by using the following commands:

dial *#1546792*#

don't press the call button, it will automatically take you to the Admin Settings.

select '3 Network & Call Settings'

select 'Network Order'

select 'WCDMA first'

press Done

press the End Call Button

I haven't tried this yet, but maybe somebody in a similar situation might find it useful.

And as for playing it safe, I'll ditch my condom and just pull out before I use too much data.

Thanks for all the help, fellas.
