[Acer Iconia A500] M..N:
In order to flash a custom rom, you need to flash a custom recovery (in this case cwm) flashing custom roms with the stock Acer recovery isn't possible without out the update.zip being signed by acer.
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
Read through these forms and you'll get the information you need. But, before you can install a custom ROM you need to root(#) your device first. Once you get root then you have to install CWM which is a custom recovery. The Stock Recovery that comes installed will ONLY install updates signed by ACER therefore it is worthless. That's why you need something like CWM.

Hope this helps,

[HTC EVO 3D] matase:
I am just trying to figure out if it is my phones fault or just the general sprint's coverage that is lacking in speed in my area. Using a speedtest, I get speeds as low as 100kbps to as high as 800kbps, never past 1mb. I even tried performing the test not only at my house, but at other places where I work and I never had it perform faster than 1mbps.

Should I go to a sprint store and ask them about this situation?

my phone is rooted and has a custom rom so maybe it's not a good idea, unless I return it to stock? :)
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Find someone else with a sprint phone and run a test side by side. That'll tell you if its your phone or not.
[HTC EVO 3D] matase:
If I went to the sprint store, and they accidentally saw that I am rooted or flashed a custom rom would they do anything?

I would rather just go to a store and talk to the rep directly, maybe compare speeds with whoever works there.
[HTC EVO 3D] madmax2k1:
Those speeds are normal for Sprint's lackluster 3G network; where I work I get full bars and my 3G speeds rarely exceed 600-700 KB/s, 4G on the other hand averages 6MB/s.
[HTC EVO 3D] matase:
when I move back to college, I will have to test out 4g because it is covered in the location of my school.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Yea you should be happy with .8 mbs..u can do just about anything with that speed..I don't expect more more really..best I've gotten is about 1.6 mbs on 3g
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
My 3G speeds are garbage wherever I go. I can't use my phone unless im on Wi-Fi or 4G. Tired of this crap... -_-
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
Same here
[HTC EVO 3D] matase:
well .8 is the best i can get. usually it's around 300kbps. it makes me jealous when my friends verizon or att data speeds exceed 1mb.
[HTC EVO 3D] IAmSixNine:
I have had just over 1 a few times when testing near my apartment. I am close to down town dallas and very close to a tower.

I am sure it has to do with location, loading that sort of thing. I am sure my tower has been suped up to handle the daily work load of all the people in and around down town dallas. But at night when the usage is a lot lower the speeds definately go up.

Dont get me wrong, i have also had speed tests on the same tower being 200k down and 75k up. Then 9 or 10 hours later its sky high.
[HTC EVO 3D] customhdrider:
Get an Airave,,never see less than 1600kbps on it since I got it,,turn it off,,I can't call or use data,,7 miles from tower
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
You can't carry an airrave around with you everywhere you go. Plus you need WiFi for it to work, so why not just connect to WiFi if your at home? You'll get alot more than 1600kbps. Were talking about the extremely poor 3g speeds without the use of an airrave/wifi.
[HTC EVO 3D] Charliehustle:
What i don't understand is how i can have like 4-5 bars and only get 20-80kpbs.
[HTC EVO 3D] di11igaf:
Cause your signal has hardly anything to do with your data speeds.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mbworldz:
Got this new samsung infuse still trying to understand it. According to the specs, the phone is built in 16gb storage? If I download apps to it, it will automatically put that in the phone storage instead of external MircoSim, Somethings I am not sure if really need the external sim for it. Like Rom Manager, if I put the MicroSim, would it install in the External instead of the internal storage. I am confused.

Cause my other HTC inspire has 1 gb memory then the external. This one is little different. Not sure what is store internal and external, should I move things around?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nash2000:
Slightly confused on your post. First off you mean the micro sdcard, not sim. The sim card is what makes your phone work on carrier network. The phone has built in storage and a slot to insert a micro sdcard, it comes with a 2gb which isn't much so I upgraded to a 16gb which gives me a total of 32gb's of storage. As far as where apps and such are placed, I don't worry too much about that, I just leave it where it defaults to.

As far as your inspire with 1gb of memory, that's not actual storage memory, its ram.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] superweapons:
By default, the phone splits the 16GB of "internal" memory into 2 partitions: a 2GB partition for system usage (apps, ROM, data) and 14GB that you can mount and use as a regular SD card for storing music, videos, etc. With an external SD card installed, most apps should still drop themselves in the 2GB internal partition. The rest you can just manually move to phone storage or use TiBu to batch move.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mbworldz:
Sorry my bad, it should be MicroSD. :(

Its just what it says, bad blocks in your device NAND Memory. (Implying it is defective). You can Google for "Bad Blocks MTD" for the more technical aspects of it.

This is what Revolutionary Devs say about the issue (Taken from a Google Search where someone asked the dev about a workaround to this)

[22:52] <@Revolutionary`> badblock is If you get "Not writing bad block at 0xXXXXXXX" errors while running Revolutionary, you have a hardware error on your NAND. We have no workaround for that at the moment, sorry.

After NexusS and SGS2 (plus i gues android 3.* devices)

it is

SGS1

time to take benefits of Talk A/V feature

Package includes:

- script deleting Talk.apk, Talk2.apk(if exists) & libtalk_jni.so(if exists)

- script copying 3 new files

- script setting permissions

- /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk - version 2.3.5 extracted from SGS2 KG3 firmware - safe to use

- /system/app/Talk2.apk - talk app 'touched by' theo (based on SGS2 - KG3 firmware)

- /system/lib/libtalk_jni.so - needed by Talk A/V to work (also from SGS2 - KG3 firmware)

WHAT WORKS?

- audio/video to/from SGS1

- wifi/3g (if your network supports-mine does) calls

- front facing/back cameras - switchable during video call

- portrait/landscape mode

The QUESTION: give as much feedback as possible

Have you spotted any issues? If so please describe in details the problem along with your specs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasterJam882:
what's the difference to talk A/V ver. 1.3?

1.3 worked with all devices who had this version why there should be a difference to 1.33?

will try 1.33 and report!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:
i belive that on earlier versions "SGS Talk client" apeared to the other side (other devices running Talk2 as NexusS, SGS2, GalaxyTab and so on, as a "Speaker"

Therfore video calls to SGS1 was not possible. Now it is corrected and 'You' are displayed as a "Camera", so can recive video calls from other devices running the officialy updated Talk app as well as other 'community updated Talk apps'.

So the question is: are other devices seeing you as a Camera (not PC gmail client, because that always worked) and can You recove vid calls from them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasterJam882:
hmmm strange with version 1.3 posted in these forums some months ago I was indeed listed as speaker but it was possible to get called by other sgs1 and even sgs2 and it was possible to call other devices. I just had to activate "accept audio and video" in menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:
oh ok so that is the icon fix i guess

we had reports that 'other devices' see speaker and can not videocall sgs1,

guess they did not tryed to infact call the person 'with speaker' =)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:
did the app youve mentioned got the both cameras working in portrait/landscape modes ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasterJam882:
lol very nice....^^

1.3b no_wifi_ffc was the older version i talked about.

When u start the app just press on ur name and a pop-up appears where u have to activate audio and video. After that there is still speaker symbol but u can use video and audio par excellence.

Never theless I tried ur app. The function that u have to press on ur name to activate audio/video as described above is gone and audio/video works from the start and symbols are indeed fixed now.

Just to help some ppl here^^

Edit:

Never tried rearfacing camera so I can't tell u and as I remember it only worked in horizontal but if u want I can install older one again to test.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:
no need i would do that by myself =)

btw. it is theos0o's app (the 'tweak the skypeguy') - i just do the testing/marketing
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasterJam882:
And another hint. Just made audio/video with girlfriend who has older 1.3b. She is listed as speaker in the new app but when I press on speaker audio/video works aswell.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:
and you were able to call her on 1.3b version correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasterJam882:
yes I was able to call others when I used 1.3b and I was able call her few minutes ago with new 1.33 version(even if the other device had the older version)

And I was able to get called on 1.3b and 1.33b now.

So I guess the ppl who said that it doesn't work just didn't know that in older version u have to activate audio/video manually and that, even there's a speaker symbol, it works fine
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:
ok, so infact this is the icon tweak for you and for the other side from speaker do camera =)

and what about the landscape mode, was/is working?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MasterJam882:
rotation IS definitely working!

Icon tweak....hmmm not rly my own symbol is shown as camera - yes and opposite sees my symbol as camera - yes but contacts in my list using the older version are stated in the new app as speaker, but nevertheless audio/video to these contacts works.

If rotation WAS working in older version I can't rly tell u cause never used or don't know anymore. As I said I could test it or u just install the app. I can send it to u if u want.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bunklung:
Do you think this would work on the Droid Charge?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bunklung:
Okay, I will try this later tonight.

What permissions would I need to set on those files?

Secondly, does this properly use the ear speaker and not the back external speaker?

I have found (rather frustratingly) that may sip and voice apps simultaneously send sound to both the ear peice and the external speaker, which makes for a very echo laden and non-private call.

Csipsimple has an advanced option that fixes this for galaxy phones, but Groove IP and Sipdroid do not :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bunklung:
I just had a large brain fart. This package assumes I am running a gingerbread kernel and/or rom?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] $omator:
permissions?

- just reboot to cwm recovery and make fix permissions there - should fix all problems with permisions and ownership on files

speaker?

- well when youve got earpiece (at least one that came up with phone) connected the speaker is not working

- while normaly it uses back speaker - as it should - front would be incapable of handling such loud sound, at least for not for long. front is made to conversations 'in the old fashion way' =)

heh but ive found lil buggy, microphone togle is not working =) at least for me

package is not assuming anything =) just deletes files, copies new & sets permisions as they should be seted in i9000 - thats why i am not sure those would be safe on other phones

Hey guys, as the title says my nexus one is telling me something worse than I have just about ever seen on my phone.... I have a 16GB SD card in my phone and I have about 10 gigs worth of photos and so on of my 1yo son that I unfortunately haven't backed up or anything and I can't bare to lose them as they are the only ones I have (Don't tell me,I know I shouldn't of kept them on a SD card in an everyday phone that gets extremely heavy usage. I KNOW!). Has anybody had the same problem as I have? Just to let you know I have 2 ext partitions on the card along with the FAT partition. These consist of a 1gig ext3 partition and a 512mb ext3 partition. So I don't know if that's the reason for the crash. Guys it might seem like a petty problem to you guys that have PC's (mine ended up getting thrown out of a window... Don't ask) to format them and use recovery programs but I just need to know if there is something I can do.

I hate to bother you all on here, it's been so long I forgot my old username! So, I have a developer account with Microsoft and they can't help me with this one. My phone was starting to act unstable and I flashed my ROM back to factory settings... the problem was that I forgot to switch DFRouter back to Zune mode. I changed the DIAG back by using the ##634# function and can connect and sync with Zune perfectly. When I try to use the Windows Phone Developer Registration app it is unable to recognize the device. The only info I was referred to by Microsoft to fix this issue was here: support.microsoftDOTcom/kb/2537993 . I have performed these steps numerous times and it doesn't work! Others who had unlock issues with the Arrive seem to have had luck with this. I have uninstalled both Zune and the SDK and reinstalled. I have even removed the phone from the AppHub site as a registered phone to avoid conflict. If anyone is able to help me on this one I will be eternally grateful!!!!!!!!!!
