[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PooN_HeaD:
flash it every boot or every update?

EDIT: scratch that i flashed it. its a little better but it still seems laggy compared to CM 7.0.2. but i needed to upgrade. so could it be that the overclocking isnt sticking or what? and should i install pershoot for better performance?

HTC Vision (G2)

Android 2.3.3

CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
You'd need to flash that every time you upgrade your ROM.

As far as the OC; make sure "set on boot" is checked or you'll lose OC when you reboot.

Personally, I like pershoot; I find it to be a bit snappier and better on the battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PooN_HeaD:
is it easy to flash and is it compatible with cm7 nightlys

HTC Vision (G2)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
It's as easy to flash as anything else, just make sure you download the right one (.35 for any nightly after 78)

Just wondering if there's any good apps that'll let me upload more than one photo to facebook (batch upload) and plays nice with HC 3.2

Bonus points if there's a "folder selection" option so that they're not all in one folder

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to use the pay per mb plan but use as much data as you want without having to pay for every mb you use.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
I wouldn't even think about that.. It's most likely illegal and impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
True. Would this internet plan be fine for me if I'm just gonna occasionally check twitter
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
If your just doing that, yeah, it's more worth it than a monthly data plan.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
"its perfectly possible. Just bloody difficult" - (inception) and its illegal. :p.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
Ok well as long as its enough to just check twitter a few times a day
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
I have three lines on a 5 gig"unlimited"plan. I stream pandora most of the day and so does my wife, My sister in law never gets off facebook, plus skype with my parents on weekends. We have never gone over 3 gigs and not much wifi use involved. I think you have to be tethering our doing some insane downloading to peak out a plan.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
It's not really a plan you just per mb you use
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I think I'm gonna go with the 200 mb plan just so I can use the web more
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zshadez:
I'm on the 2gig 4G plan and thinking about dropping down, actually. Using the net and downloading aps/games/books I've never gone over 400megs in a month even tethering. Unless you're downloading movies or the like you don't really use a ton of bandwidth.

Twitter shouldn't really have much of an impact. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] poopypoo13:
If you have wifi access most or all the time than a 200mb plan is surely enough but if your not but just checking twitter and maybe a couple of other things than your fine. I personally do alot of google maps, pandora, market, netflix, xda, games that require data, and more but im on a 5gig plan and i usually dont ever go over that even if i tether just to check my online mmorpg's hehe
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shenanigans23:
the problem with the 200mb plan is it will no longer be unlimited like the other plans where your speed is throttled. tmobile is going to start charging overage fees on that plan. (i dont know the date that it starts though)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I'm thinking 200 mb should definitely be enough. When I goto add that plan I have to call customer service right??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
Lol people talking about not hitting the cap. I hit my 10 gig everytime but thats becuz i use my phones tethering as my home internet and i have been switching roms all the time. Plus all the skyping and qik chatting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I definitely wont need 10 gigs I'm just gonna be using it to check twitter and maybe go online a bit
[HTC EVO 3D] skaflone721:
So, yeah my line ends September 12th because I took advantage of that ETF thing.

I lost my phone. I had it blocked and everything. The insurance people keep saying its still activated while Sprint says its on the bad ESN list and insurance says no it's not. I'm confused.

So after a bunch of talking, I've come to the conclusion that I have to take that phone off my line. Is that correct? If I put an old EVO, are they gonna send me an EVO? Can I just deactivate it and have no phone attached?

EDIT: Reason I ask is because I've gotten all kinds of different answers, I trust you as customers know better, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
If you called and reported it lost/stolen, then Sprint put blocks on it, but it is still active on your account (not usable) until you get a replacement and activate it on that line. Either way, if you report it as lost to insurance, then they should send you a replacement and you pay the deductible. If you put an old Evo on that line, they should still send you the replacement for the phone you lost.

Second, why would you trust that the customers know better than both Sprint and Assurion? Many people have different experiences with both of them. If I were you, I'd get on the phone with Sprint and have them conference with Assurion to make sure you get it taken care of the proper way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmike:
Hi everyone,

I have recently updated my SGS from Froyo 2.2 to GB 2.3.3 (from Optus firmware JP5 to JVN). I had Speedmod kernel installed when I was using Froyo, and have now tried a few kernels on 2.3.3 and feel that I'm going to stick to Semaphore.

I can't put my finger on when I first noticed it, but after flashing 2.3.3 I had noticed that auto brighness levels had changed (again, probably because I was used to the Speedmod custom levels) and that rather from fading up / down a level, the screen just jumps straight to it.

I'm happy with the levels in Semaphore, but the transition when the level changes is not smooth. I've tried Galaxian as did mention that it has some driver enhancements from the Nexus S which should make it smoother, but it made no difference and I found that my phone would freeze a lot on Galaxian.

Anyone know how I can restore the transitions for autobrightness so that they're smooth? Could it be the CRT animation package I've flashed as well that's causing the issue?

Thanks in advance.

[Atrix 4G General] v-nay:
Hello Everyone,

I have a motorola atrix which was given to me by my friend in usa as a gift, And it has a software version of 1.7.5 , I want to update my phone, but i cannot find the guide for rooting this version of firmware and updating it. Is this version unique? wherever i search i only get guides for other versions.

And one more thing, I live in nepal, and i am using my sim card, but if i update the phone will it be carrier locked?

Thanks in advance.

Oh, and one more thing, i have taken a picture of the phone screen, I've attached it.

Sorry for the crappy photo.
[Atrix 4G General] lilhaiti:
First off, this should go in the Q&A section. Second there is a Sticky Thread at the top of this section geared toward NOOBs...you should go back and read it, it has all the info you need.
[Atrix 4G General] v-nay:
Sorry for posting here. And regarding that N00b guide, i read it all, and from what i know i think the method for rooting different versions of firmware are different right? and there is no mention for the version that i am using. So i just wanted a little guidance.
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
This method works on all phones:

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

p.s. Your screenshot says you have 2.2.2 ATT Atrix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Meaning you can use pretty much any root method - Gingerbreak, Gladroot, preinstall, and CWM root after you unlock the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] JaronBang:
The auto unlock/root method works wonderfully on our US devices

[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
Titanium backup or use es file manager with root access checked off in settings and delete them or any file manager that has root access really but you shouldn't delete them..just move them to a folder on your sd card or rename them to .bak or freeze them with titanium backup..this way if anything goes wrong you will be able to fix it

Hope I helped :)

[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
Im not so sure about removing anything blur or moto related. It was said that com.motorola.android.buacontactadapter was removed, but does anyone know what it does? The main thing I dislike the most is the way the camera handles flash and the way it is linked to gallery. (I hate the moto gallery, QuickPic FTW). If camera360 supported FFCs I would be much more likely to use it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Darksurf:
I removed the VSuiteApp.apk just fine. No issues here. the force close loop is caused because the application was running at the time of deletion. VCast Media Manager is known as NewBayVault_4.2.99.36.Market.apk . this can happen to any of the apps if they are system apps that are running during time of deletion
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
@Darksurf -thanks for that, VCast media manager now removed.

Edited my earlier post to add that APK to the list.

On removing VSuiteApp.apk - what does that app do? It seems to be related to the voice recognition system as far as I can see. Be safe to remove if you don't want voice IO, perhaps?
[Motorola Droid 3] diceroll123:
I removed the DLNA app, it started giving immediate problems with repetitive force close notices. Pulled the battery, restarted, never happened again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Visegrad:
So I used Root Explorer to rename most of the same apps everyone is listing as .bak. I then gave my phone a few hours run to see how everything behaved and that I didn't freeze anything important. Once I was satisfied with that I started actually deleting certain apps (ie. blockbuster, zumo, any vzw app) because all we kept saying was "remove the bloatware." Now I'm seeing everyone say we shouldn't have actually removed anything. All that being said, how can I replace the apps I actually deleted and simply go back and .bak them?
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
Can I delete GlobalNWSwitch.apk? Is this what makes the phone keep on asking whether you want to switch back to Global mode once the signal is lost for a while?
[Motorola Droid 3] estobaughn:
Maybe someone should pull all the apks people are deleting and post them as a zip for easy access if need be, and/or a script to move those apps onto sdcard. I would but i am in front of a torch.

I have an issue with the Data Roaming constantly turning itself off whenever the cellular signal gets interrupted for even a moment.

Would removing the Battery & Data Manager app eliminate this, or would it simply mean that I would have no way to re-enable it when it did shut itself off?

Rename GlobalNWSwitch.apk to GlobalNWSwitch.bak

I was getting tired of this too as I have a weak signal at work and the phone would ask this all the time...

I haven't seen any ill effects from renaming this file, but also since I'm at home and have a good signal, I'm not able to confirm this is the offending application, but it's got to be, right? :)
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Maybe it's wiser to make a list of things NOT to disable, like the yahoo.apk's.
[Motorola Droid 3] djthread:
Be sure not to freeze or uninstall these like I did:

Yahoo Mail Authenticator - it causes the contacts (when you open a particular contact) to force close.

TTS Service - The text-to-speech service is needed when you enter "Navigation" mode from maps. Without it, you get a force close at that point.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
android noob question: I thought .apk were install files.. but if I read the posts here, renaming the .apk actually stops the app from working? So it runs from the .apk all the time? (= it doesn't extract the .apk or anything?)

I performed the bloat-ectomy manually using ES File Explore.

I found the archive, EV0 4G QMAT.rar, right?

I also have the radios, but do I use both radios? I suspect I only need the 2.05.00.06.10 radio.

However, after more seaching and reading, I discovered the QMAT script method does not work on EVO 4G hardware 0004. :mad: I guess I will be forced to use the long method.

2) now on qxdm/options/new/memory viewer ROWS 16/ ADDRESS ?????????????

In this step is where I am kind of lost.....I start putting the addresses that are at the end of the original post and starting with #1 I copy paste it in the address field then press enter and nothing happens.......there are a few numbers on the rows but these are not changing when I input a different address (again, from that attached file at the end of the original post) and these numbers ARE NOT my converted meids - esns.......

Anybody can share a bit of light over here?????? PLEASE!!!

Thank you in advance!!!!!! ;-)
