[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mgrimmenator:
the new pbj kernel 08/08 is good except for the fact you can't go to recovery from power menu, which sux but oh well. I think my issues stem from swapping kernels out and updates and patches and such, plus installs and updates etc. I think if the EF was ED05 it would be way more stable. I think there are parts of it that may be conflicting since it is not ED05. I realize that you do not have a fascinate anymore so hoping someone can pick it up for you or we can test for you. I along with a lot of others just luv this rom and don't want to change. really appreciate all your work too.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitroglycerine33:
I still have my fascinate. It just isn't activated.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] droidstyle:
Yes the missed call issue I believe is fixed with the pbj ed05 kernal. I have not had a missed call for atleast a month now.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] laureanop:
I have used your ef 3. 6 and 3. 5 as well as comm roms 1. 3-2. 0-2. 1. These are all great roms but after about 10 days of using them things seem to deteriorate quite rapidly, with sporadic freezes and system bogs and slow downs as well as ram freezes. I have tried wiping the dalvik once a week but it doesn't work.

I know that things slow down on all roms on all phones but on the fassy it gets to the point where you have to re install. Is this my experience only? Have you had complaints a.bout this?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] lord dredd:
well the kernek definitely is the key i suppose , but then u never know what was the real issue that was causing fassies all over to miss calls.

but a noteworthy thing is that the ED05 STOCK ROM is a lot snappier than all its predecessors , so i am sure a lot of work has been done on the ROM part as well apart from KERNEL and radio.

all my friends to whom i recommended ED05 have updated me that there are no missed calls whatsoever.

We all would be grateful to you NITRO if you can take out some time and develop something as awesome as EF :)

god bless

regards
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mgrimmenator:
i 2nd this. An ED05 EF would be awesome. It would look the same a be just as snappy. I just rolled back to ED05 stock and I am going to install ef3.6 on top with 8/8 imnuts kernel. Hopefully all goes well with it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] thecoop:
Any new EF updates would be MUCH appreciated, I have been dealing with the issues I have just because I do not want to switch.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie Bombay:
Bro got drunk at some Yahoo Fantasy Football event at his University and did a backflip into the pool with the Atrix I got him on Sunday (to think he's going to be a Doctor some day). ATT sent out a new Atrix and all that jazz, so I'm setting it back up (rerooting, titanium backup, etc).

Before he went to the party I was working on his phone and backed up everything with Titanium Backup and then made a copy of that backed up TB folder and added it to the micro SD card w/ all his media. That day after I punched him out (literally) I checked to see if the SIM card & micro SD card worked although they took major water damage. It turned out the SIM card was fine (tested it on my old Moto Backflip) but the micro SD card stopped working until I added into a micro SD adapter and I found all the files that got backed up.

I dragged all the Titanium Backup files into the new Atrix, but after I hit batch and try to restore everything under the restore tab is at 0. I checked to make sure the files I dragged into the hard drive of the phone after mounting and they are all there. The only thing is I see "?" before the name of the files in the file manager.

Was wondering if someone could help me figure out what the issue with TB is since it's not recognizing those files I backed up from his old Atrix on the new Atrix.

Thanks and yeah what a ****ty week, thank god for phone insurance (although it cost 125$ to get a new one)

Also, is there a way to access the hard drive on the phone also although it won't turn on? Probably not but thought I'd ask.

Edit: Here's the image of the question mark in the Atrix.

Edit x2: Link kinda big here's the url: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/120535/CIMG2157.JPG
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rredlin:
in TB go to preferences and select back up location, then find your files and your done. run back up
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SS2006:
i think he wants to restore, so go to 'restore folder' under settings and choose the folder u copied over
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rredlin:
eh same thing. just gotta tell TB where your files are at in preferences /detect files....

Try putting the phone in rice If you didn't send it away that is. I had the same thing happen to my phone and since the rice fixed it, I was able to send the replacement phone back and save the $125.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSmokingAndroid:
Preferences > backup location > then hit the back button on the phone and it will back the folder up one at a time, then select sd card, then select TB
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eddie Bombay:
Nice that worked but I guess that's an old back up I did. Other then the rice method is there a way I can access the damaged phones folders?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davewuvswaffles:
Sorry to derail, but what case is that?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
I don't understand why people think rice dries things out. Because it doesn't.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
Last time i checked rice doesnt repel water. I wonder where all water goes when i cook it up? Hmmm...

I voided my warranty.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maroon Mushroom:
Rice doesn't magically soak it up either. The rice won't absorb much water unless the phone is literally dripping wet.

Use silica gel packets instead. But them in bulk at a music shop.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
Yes, silica is better for this situation, but rice is handy and often in the cabinet. Silica works better if you dont take your phone apart, but rice is an excellent alternative if you at least open up your phone at the screws. It may not seem like it, but rice does absorb moisture/water better than it appears.

I voided my warranty.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maw269:
Using the "Android Assistant" app, it says I have 372.91 MB of Total Memory. I bought my G-Tab during the big Woot sale a few months ago like so many others. I thought I was getting a 512 MB tablet. What's the deal? Am I missing something?

p.s. Under Settings>Applications>Running Services, I have the following parameters:

Avail: 144MB + 120MB in 15

I can't find any numbers that add up to 512 :-(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
That's because the ram used by the OS isn't available for you to run apps in.

You could look at some low level info via a terminal app or the adb desktop shell...

[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I am trying to help my friend. I was going to root his Nexus S 4G for him (I have Nexus S myself and unlocked/rooted a long time ago). Well when I plug his phone in to the computer, nothing happens except for charging. No USB mount, no USB debugging notification, nothing. No response other than the phone starts charging.

Using another computer and another USB cable, I eliminated those as variables. The problem lies in his phone. Is there way anyone knows that I can help him fix this?
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
If your friend didn't install USB drivers the first time, it may not pop up again.
[Nexus S General] suksit:
Does the phone show up in the Device Manager?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
No, there is no indication the computer sees the phone at all. Tried with phone booted and with phone in bootloader mode.

I would assume his USB connection on the phone was faulty, but it does charge....
[Nexus S General] suksit:
Try looking in Settings > About phone > Status

If Battery status says "Charging (AC)" instead of "Charging (USB)" then there might be a problem with the USB connection/cable.
[Nexus S General] trickyhenry:
I have a belkin USB cable that does this. I plug in the supplied one and the issue is gone
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
The cable is not the problem. Thanks though.
[Nexus S General] liquidblue1985:
Had the same issue.

New cable worked.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
The same cable works with other phones!
[Nexus S General] suksit:
Well I'd do a "Factory data reset" first. If that still doesn't help then there are 4 things I can think of right now:

Uninstall the USB driver in Windows and try to connect the phone again.

Try to plug the phone in an Ubuntu machine.

If wifi is working then I'll try to put the OTA package on the SD card, and flash that via stock recovery.

The last resort is to boot the phone in Download mode and use Odin to flash the stock ROM image.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsquare:
I'm sure everyone knows about the GPS bugs that plague the first generation Galaxy S. I've read the SGS 2 reviews and they said the GPS issues have been fixed, but can I get some opinions on whether anyone experienced any GPS issues? Is the GPS on the SGS 2 as accurate and good as the one on the iPhone 4?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Works fine. Faster lock than my IP4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelugaHval:
Its much faster than the Galaxy S1. I found the GPS to be close to useless on S1. On my S2 its close to perfect
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpsrent:
Works great and picks up signals inside buildings.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodB0Y:
I had the sgs1 for about 6 months and now the sgs2 for about 3 weeks. I was soooo disappointed with the first sgs and like you I was unsure if I wanted to give the 2 a try...

Well I read a bunch and it seems that most people are happy so I bought it...

I can say with out a doubt that the GPS is way better on the 2 than the sgs1. I could not use Google navigation at all with the sgs1... it was useless and could never lock on and would have me blocks away from where I was. I've used my sgs2 GPS with Google navigation on more than a dozen trips /drives and it has always been spot on and never had me in the wrong location.

I will say that lock times are very slow when Im driving
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
I run every other day for an hour or two, I use runkeeper, also when out hiking I use mmtracker to read my o's maps, I can safely say especially with runkeeper the gpx routes recorded through the SGS2 are far more accurate than the iphone4 even managing to stay accurate whilst running through the forest, actual initial cold starting is about the same if not slightly faster with the sgs2. Oh yes and practically every time I recorded a run with the iphone4 through a certain part of my forest run it would create a spike where I was apparently running at 250mph hmm not sure I am that fast, but the sgs2 always keeps an accurate smooth record, hope that helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
for me, flaky. some days i'll get a lock within a minute and then it's fine. this morn and yest - takes ages to get a lock.

basically, ymmv
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
Download FasterFix. You can choose from a list of servers. Choose the country closest to you or, if it is in the list, your own country. This way you'll 'half your fixtime' so it connects faster to GPS-Sat.

It's like using the aiding sensors (e.g. WiFi).

I get a fix in >10sec max.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jankhner:
i think gps on SG2 is far from perfect. It's "OK" but i had much better gps on my previous phone (HTC Hero)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
What is the average time for a fix, for you guys?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
Mine takes between 10 seconds and a minute. Sometimes it just sits there doing nowt lol.

Xperia X10 used to lock in 10 seconds every time, but the rest of that phone was slow lol :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
The only time I have ever had a problem getting a fix, I simply opened up google maps and it seemed to get a fix instantly then returned to my other gps application and all was ok.

First thing in the morning outside fix within a few seconds

Indoors sometimes can take a little longer, but never more than about 10 seconds

I use GPS a lot
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
Have you tried FasterFix?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
I guess you said this to clarify that you've got good statistics, but a very interesting thing is that if you use the GPS often you likely get shorter fix time :-)

The reason is that if you used the GPS recently (within hours) the cached GPS info is more accurate so the GPS doesn't need complete messsages to determine the position (it takes 30 seconds to send one complete position message from a satellite), and if you get interruptions you need to wait even longer, that is why it sometimes takes more than a minute to get a fix.

A-GPS also helps fix time in many cases.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommo123:
already done. still slow
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJayEss:
+1

Same thing happened to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen123:
Absolutely brilliant.

90% of the time it gets a lock within 30 secs , there's been sometimes when it needed a restart to get gps working properly but that's down to an app I was using previously which messed things up a bit, but on the whole I very happy with it.

The seamless integration with google maps is great. The external speaker is plenty loud & clear enough to hear the instructions but would like a less robotic sounding voice, re routing is quick & so far its been 100% reliable.

I have a built in gps system on my Land Rover but I almost always use the SGS2 gps over it. I used to have the SGS1 but the gps on that was a piece of crap. Gps on HTCs, etc, are probably just as good/better/worse, I don't know but one thing I'm sure about is the speaker volume would never be as loud & clear as the SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
I get a lock up to 4m accuracy. My Captivate always had about 1500m accuracy and couldn't use it. Using navigation works perfectly on my sgs2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alpha Trion:
Excellent

Like others here, i suffered from the original SGS gps nightmare :(

SGS2 gps has been great for me, able to use google maps/navigation/RAC app all without problem :)

I didn't realise how much location based services I used untill the problems with SGS gps clearly highlighted this. Now, with my SGS2 all is good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilkin:
Is there an app like the LBStesmode for froyo that I can use to change/check the gps settings?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSopranos16:
Does FasterFix do anything to improve the accuracy or just the time to first fix (ttff)? My GPS locks within 10 seconds every time but accuracy never goes below 10meters and usually fluctuates up to 30 or 50 meters, thats the part of GPS I'd like to improve...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I think its only for the fix, for accuracy I get 10-15meters.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onbacardi:
SGS vs SGS 2

its like a normal phone vs a tom tom real GPS.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
It changes the pool time server to a more local one is all .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjtj4444:
Please note that accuracy reported by the device is an upper estimated limit, this is just a statistical estimate calculated differently in different devices.

In fact an SGS2 reporting 20 m accuracy could very well give a more acurate position than another device reporting 5 meter. In fact a lot of information indicates that SGS2 is very conservative (correct with high probability) with its reported accuracy.

So you can NOT compare actual position accuracy by comparing the reported accuracy!!! The only thing you do then is just comparing the devices reported accuracy and that is pretty useless.

I've said this in many threads: the only way to compare positioning is to log different devices simultaneously with my track (or other app with no positioning filtering) and then compare the tracks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyallo:
I get a fast fix with Data Asssisted GPS (using Data to send your location before GPS locks). Usually under 10 seconds. With just GPS, it will take longer, up to a minute or more if you're driving

First off I want to say thank you to everyone on this team for being able to get S-OFF for the majority of our phones. My question now since S-OFF is only temporary for the recent exploit of HTC Evo 4g 2.16.001, how would we or can we get S-On in case the phone has to be returned in the future for whatever reason. I have not seen RUU or drivers, many inquiring minds do want to know.

Thanks fellas.

Just because Sprint may service the phone might not mean that your warranty will cover it. That's why people would like to turn it back to S-ON before having the phone serviced.

[Xoom General] sandhuxda:
So if a Xoom is encrypted and USB debugging disabled, there is no way someone who got physical possession of my locked Xoom could root and 0wn the data? I know on iOS devices, physical possession is enough to Root and SSH into the device.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Neither of those would stop someone from fastboot oem unlocking.
[Xoom General] sandhuxda:
Don't you need to have USB debugging enabled for fastboot to work? Even with bootloader unlocked, all you can do is flash an image which will wipe the device. Right?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Because fastboot is done outside the system, usb debugging wouldn't stop it. Fastboot unlock will wipe the device anyway.
[Xoom General] sandhuxda:
Ok, thanks. So, back to the same point, you cannot read the filesystem of an encrypted Android device if (1) USB debugging is disabled (2) device is locked, even if you have physical possession of the device. This is excluding any microSD card that you use as external storage.
[Nexus S General] ilovefeces:
So I've been using the Nexus S for about one month now, my very first smartphone. Discaimer: I'm a NOOB to the core. I never rooted my phone, never thought of it.

I'm pulling my hair out at the following long list (and counting) of bugs and glitches I've noticed with my phone:

1) Menu settings randomly change (including ringtones)

2) screen doesn't turn off automatically, even though I have set screen auto off to 30 seconds. (this one is somewhat "dangerous" as I leave my phone in the bag and don't check it for a while, and later notice that my screen has been left on the whole time, draining my battery)

3) cannot make outgoing calls. I don't get outgoing ringing when I try to make outgoing calls. Also, during this time, the phone did not ring when there was an incoming call

4) pictures in the gallery come and go

5) The list of apps I downloaded disappear from "my apps" list in Android market

6) when I select a call from the call log, the phone dials a different contact

7) after using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode does not restore signal and 3G data

What's very frustrating is that all of these bugs seem to come and go randomly, without any "patterns" or "triggers." I've restarted the phone, and the issue I was having seems to go away, only to lead to another one a while later. I am wondering if any of these issues are known problems. Also, are these problems more likely to be software or hardware issues?

I'm running

Android 2.3.4
