Mine has never changed back, either.
[Motorola Droid 3] miciic:
hi!

could somone make a good tutorial how to get to that build.prop???

please...

and is it even posible to edit it on original droid3 that is not rooted?

i found a thread with info how to fix bad network on xt862 but cant find how to get to that file!! :(

SO PLEASE help me..

my network connection is realy abd in UK using three... but on previous phone it was exelent...
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I tried setting it to 3 because that's what the XT860 has.. (so I assume its GSM mode)... but I didn't notice any differences. I assume it's just the default value when you first turn on the phone or reset setting
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Use adb(android debugging bridge) google where to find it and then use these.commands

adb pull /system/build.prop (replace this with a chosen directory on your computer)

For example I would put

adb pull /system/build.prop /home/endo/"Android stuff"

You can then edit the build.prop with a text editor. When done restore it with

adb push (your directory) /system/build.prop

If you get an error about /system being read.only use

adb shell

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

Make sure to save a unedited copy on your computer just in cass

[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
3 defaults to GSM/WCDMA indeed. But it only matters after hard reset.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
I've noticed that I have to clear data and cache after pushing a new build.prop sometimes. ro.telephony.default_network= 0 for wdcma only, 3 for gsm/wcdma, 4 for cdma
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I wonder if that's why I couldn't get your.modded build.prop to fix my fc on cm7. Il have to give that a try

xt860, android 2.3.5, Monster rom
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
I made a custom cm7 build.prop for the xt860 using Hashcodes cm7 build.prop as a base and just importing bell specific/umts vars but didn't have any luck with data. It did fix the phone fc loop. I'll dig around and post it when I come across it. If you start importing libs from the stock rom you'll start fcing again so make sure adb is enabled on boot and it's handy to have the cm7 libs extracted somewhere so you can push them back to your phone and get voice/text, easier than reflashing or anything if you want to start over. If you check the radio log (logcat -b radio) you can see data trying to .connect but complaints about HSPA being unsupported. It could be just some little setting we're missing or the libs aren't supporting our connection. I did make a quick edit to enable dual radio operation before posting, lemme know if you have any luck Feel free to repost it in your xt860 roms thread, I'm not going to link it anywhere but this post unless I have a full solution.

Re-uploaded cm7build.prop, edited a few settings and gave it a once over against the build.prop from the brazil retail, I come right online with that. As far as I can tell this version is 100% w/motorolas umts build.props for our phones as far as umts/wcdma

If you install cm7, push this to /system/build.prop (after remounting rw), wipe data/factory reset and then boot you should have no issues with the phone force crashing but still no data.

Guys, ihave found this beautiful launcher on xda and now i have something to ask because i have fear to do this...

have someone flashed the launcher in cmw for optimus black and have success?

other question is, is it possible to extrect the apps of the cmw package and put it manually with file explorer to the system? if i try this, the app says me parsing error :S

Ahh I see. I saw the leaked photo of the US Galaxy S2 family and while they're all nice I can't help but think the International version looks better. Plus I'm not sure whether I'd fancy the bigger screen, 4.3" seems to be the sweet spot for myself.
[Galaxy S II General] David Roosendaal:

...with an iPhone upgrade due any time now too??
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
Its good and bad at the same time I think. Gonna stick it out for a long yime with the sgs2 but the cravings will persisy unfortunately. No cravings yet though, love this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] mystril:
agreed to #15.

1) is there a need for another 0.2" of screen estate?

my take : 4.3" sgs2 is the sweet spot for me. i have trouble swiping my thumb across the whole screen already.

2) is there a need for an extra 0.3mhz of processor or 1850mah battery?

my take : setcpu is the answer.

extended battery pack aren't expensive on ebay.

My opinions

The extra processing power and screen estate will nullify the increase in capacity of batt. furthermore, the perennial dual core issue is still unfixed in 2.3.4. and samsung have the balls to release another "beta" phone.

my hunch

samsung is trying hard to best iphone5 and downplay it's "wow factor" in sept. notice the link? 4.5, dual core 1.5, it's all marketing numbers. like megapixel wars. no doubt, people will start comparing iphone 5 with 4.5" S2 in terms of raw power. that's what sammy wants.

but for what apple did, whoring over patents. go smash iphone5 to pieces man, sammy. we'll love a phone war anytime.

conclusion

4.5" S2 is a marketing gadget.

SGS2 has already covered much that we (a typical consumer) need.

If there's anything to look, go for tablets tegra kai-el releasing in a few months time.

I'm sure 4.5" S2 would look like phone drenched in cat piss in a few months time.

go for 4.5" S2 if...

you want lte.

you want nfc. ironically 4.3" S2 korea has it.

you use gadgets, not the other way around! ^^;
[Galaxy S II General] Dr Tone:
If they improve the sound quality and Supercurio brings voodoo to it, I'll be all over it.
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
Decent analysis and I think I pretty much concur. However, I don't think (and I'm not suggesting that you do either) that Samsung are doing this to piss off early adopters or force us to upgrade - they haven't even changed the name for starters, so there is no real sense of this being something new.

Marketing gimmick? Possibly, but only hardcore techies are going to be influenced by the marginal increase in specs.

So I suspect that the bits they use to make the device have moved on - if you can get a 4.5" screen at the same price as the old 4.3", why not use it...?

This is a gentle evolution in my book, not a massive statement.
[Galaxy S II General] Jabbypants:
If you have a GS2 there is no reason at all to go for that phone, a 4.5" screen imo will make the phone a little on the large side and this phone can be over-clocked if desired, I don't see the point of it.
[Galaxy S II General] varunkumars:
What about SUPER AMOLED HD display that was talked about ??
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
Tmobile version looks so ugly :)
[Galaxy S II General] rumthin:
All of the upcoming upgrades don't wow me all that much tbh. I'll probably stick it out with my current SG2 for at least a couple of years.

The only gripe I have with my phone is the sound quality. I'd love to get rid of my ipod and only carry around my phone, but the difference in sound quality is too noticeable imo.

Hi guys im having issues when using google nav on my tab.

It seems to work on the car dock until the battery is fully charged, then the screen dims so its impossible to see the program.

Ive manually set the screen to max, and put the timeout to 1 hr but it still fades after a few mins making the sat nav useless. Removing the dock plug then re inserting it seems to work for a few mins but it still fades. Ive noticed though it only ever occurs when the battery is fully charged.

Im using the latest overcome kratos - im having to use my dhd to do sat nav at the moment as the tab has become unrelaible.

Anyone had this and fixed it?

ive got a 3 hr car journey on monday and the tab is my perferred unit so please help..

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverZero:
I know it's easy to call my TF a B60 (Bee-Sixty), but when I really looked at the S/N on the device and on the box, that zero looks like an O. I'm pretty sure it's "Bee-Six-Oh" now.

What say you? (And is it "Oh-Ess-X" or "Oh-Ess-Ten"? "Linnux" or "Line-ux"? ;))
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
It is the capital letter "O". Compare it to any 0 in your serial #.

O not Zero

in my opinion, it's Q

A fact is something that is true about a subject and can be tested or proven.

Look for clues such as: " 56% of...., or "The patient experienced..."

An opinion is what someone thinks about that subject.

Look for clues such as: "I believe...", "It's obvious...", or "They should..."

a baseball player with a 56% batting average...hits the ball 56% of the time. this is a tautologically factual statement.

also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_theory

a lot of people misuse statistics, but there's actually a science (or more precisely, math) behind it. you can, with a certain degree of confidence, and in a certain margin of error, generalize a smaller (by properly sampled) sample the general population.

...in my opinion
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
Yep, totally missed that... :p

"There's already a thread that answers your question."
[Eee Pad Transformer General] thebadfrog:
56% of the peopled polled say it is an "0". Doesnt mean it is.

If you can't get to the link somehow, this is what Don.Reisinger@ziffdavisenterprise.com had to say (dated today) about why our Iconia should be on the extinction list. I'll let you spot the multitude of BS. If you get a chance, email him and tell him to do some research before he opens his mouth on the 'net.

"It’s hard to find too many worthwhile features in the Acer Iconia Tablet that can’t be found in other devices. The slate comes with a 2-megapixel camera, a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, and a 10.1-inch display. However, it’s running Android Honeycomb 3.0—an issue for those looking for the more-reliable Android 3.1. Combine that with the fact few people even know about the device, and it might not be long before the $400 tablet fades from the market."

[Acer Iconia A500] smnc:
I've also emailed this assclown (cc'd to his editor). I take issue not only with his options and mis-information regarding the Iconia, but with the article as a whole. I realize that editorials are opinionated, but that doesn't release a journalist from being honest and fair.

For starters, there his blatent opinion that 7" is too small for a tablet. I cannot see how millions in combined sales can possibly be disregarded as "redundant". AFAIK, the Galaxay Tab 7 is still the best selling non-Apple tablet to date. They still seem to be in solid demand now, with even the resale value holding up in the 75% or better range (at least in the Toronto area). As someone in the tech sale industry, at least half of non-Apple tablet sales I see are 7" devices.

Also, dismissing yet to be released products, i.e. the Cisco Cousin, is just rediculous.

Plus, the article is riddled with factual inaccuracies and misleading statements.

Lastly, I take issue with his dismissal of Asus as a non-"mainstream" company. The Eee PC defined the netbook market. You would be hard pressed to find a consumer who has shopped for a netbook who HASN'T heard of Asus.

I expect more journalistic integrity from a Ziff-Davis publication, but perhaps I'm living in the past.

I guess that makes the A500 a sleek sports car to the Ipad's Dodge Neon-like sales numbers.

It's interesting that just last week I was discussing with a colleague how poorly researched and the blatant bias that was become the norm at eweek.

So I felt compelled to send the following:

Mr. Brooks;

In RE: 10-Tablets-That-Should-Join-HP-TouchPad-on-the-Extinction-List-691746

As an owner of a variety of different tablets and charged with supporting an even larger slate of tablets I found the lack of research and blatant product preference of Mr. Reisinger quite disturbing.

The first slide alone has more than four easily verifiable mistakes, which makes me wonder if the author is intentionally misleading readers or just plain lazy.

I have noticed a trend recently of eweek content. High praise for anything Microsoft/Apple and distain for the rest.

Due to the poorly researched content and lack of article unbiased I have been forced to mark all eweek emails as SPAM, as this is what they have become of late.
