Agree. T-Mobile will shrink to the size of a non-factor regional carrier anyways.

Their coverage sucks. I can't wait to get rid of em soon.
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
What the heck are you talking about? It is one... One... ONE SINGLE motive the AT&T have, to get the only bandwidth that's so robust and fast network, which would RELIVE THEM on the very busy network, congested network they have!!!! I know TONS OF PEOPLE switch from AT&T to Verizon (those iPhoney users) just get a decent network and speed from AT&T.

To free up the congested network, they need the near empty network of TMO. If that happens, the known/proven fast network we got will be shared by a million of Iphone app heavy users!!!!

I iz da XDA usah! Vibrant baby!
[Vibrant General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Agreed, T-Mobile has a far faster/better network service than AT&T. I am constantly dealing with people who use AT&T saying they got no service when my T-Mobile device has 3-4 bars. One of the places I worked put steel sheets on the roof to reflect sunlight & heat in the buildings. They also used AT&T for all company phones. They all had to go outside to make a call, I didn't. At that time I had a T-Mobile Dash aka HTC Excalibur. Far from a top end phone.
[Vibrant General] Dattack:
I am not sure why people are fleeing tmobile. But hell it's the best in southern california for me. I have tried At and T and I always get dropped calls.
[Vibrant General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I can tell you why, they don't want to be with AT&T. A lot of T-Mobile's user were AT&T customers. They are jumping ship as their contracts end. AT&T has garbage for CS. T-Mobile's is great. I've hand a couple roommates accidentally get $10 charges by those online surveys things. The Facebook game's free game credit things. Well, one simple call to T-Mobile's CS & more than $40 was credited. I just swapped out my SIM card, it took 5 Mins to do so(my old SIM was 5+ yrs old). Ex AT&T customers never want to be part of AT&T again, so they're fleeing to avoid what seemed to be inevitable.
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
Let them. It makes our network not congested and fast.

Its funny that my coworkers that have Android (that is on AT&T), have tweaked thier build.prop to maximize their network... My buddy was so damn excited that he got 2.6 D 1.5 U, and it was his fastest yet. Tweaked mine, and had a contest with him, I topped at 5.8 D 2.1 U. He was like, "lets download something together, same file. That speedtest isn't accurate anyway..." I said ok, he chose the file, which was a mp3 file he uploaded to his dropbox, and we simultaneously downloaded it. Lets just say, I was done when he was still at 82%. Hahahaha!!!!!

I iz da XDA usah! Vibrant baby!
[Vibrant General] ndwgs:
In my opinion, they should've waited this out, see the outcome. I'm out of contract, but I will wait till the very day TMO changes to AT&T. Since this isn't the case yet, I'll enjoy TMO.

I iz da XDA usah! Vibrant baby!
[Vibrant General] jordonlm1:
I think the big problem here is that T-Mobile wants this to go through they said they are planning on siding with at and t in court to approve it. This is a chance to make some big money. The CEO said they are no longer going to fund and try to improve T-Mobile if this doesn't go through T-Mobile will either stay the same or slowly die off
[Vibrant General] EdWood110:
Exactly.

I like T-Mobile, I think it offers the best service and good pricing at the same time.

I don't know if I should be happy about the non-merger or not...cause like jordon said...T-Mobile Germany does not want to invest any more money, why ever...cause I think they did a great job so far.

Although, selling the business for Billions or not, I cannot imagine they won't invest anything anymore...they will lose everything then.
[Vibrant General] sroach23:
i thought if this did not go through att could still buy the spectrum from tmo.
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I think this deal will probably still go through. As much as I don't want it to. Like someone else already said, it's probably just the DOJ's way of making it look like they conducted a proper investigation. Total BS. The Globalists will win again, and we'll be left with one less choice as consumers.

I do applaud Sprint for fighting this, and doing their due diligence: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/207273/20110901/at-t-t-mobile-sprint-at-t-t-mobile-merger-doj.htm

T-Mobile has already lost me as a customer, for customer service related reasons, so I'll be on my way to Sprint when my contract is up.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
There's nothing really needed to be improved to tmobile. But after they announced this deal they slowly became pain just like at&t.

F*** them both.

[Droid X General] bankai_droid:
Bought a DX thinking I could sbf it to a Milestone X. It worked minus one big problem. I can't manually activate it and is stuck on the Verizon activation method. Is there anyway to bypass the activation step like you can with custom roms? I'd really like to get this to work since I can't seem to find anywhere to buy a Milestone X.

[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
So here is the rundown. I flashed GC 1.9RC2.3 and was getting some force closes. Tried Data/Factory Reset and that still didn't fix the issues. So now I'm trying to reflash GC 1.9 FE to restart over and ODIN has been stuck on cp_modem.bin for the past 20 minutes.

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> Enter CS for MD5..

<ID:0/004> Leave CS..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> Sbl.bin

<ID:0/004> cp_modem.bin

Is this normal? I don't remember it taking this long to flash the previous time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
Are you using the PDA button? Did you reinsert the battery after Odin recognized your phone?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
sounds like slow USB connection...try another usb port.. preferably a rear port...the modem does take a bit to flash and progress shows on device for modem
[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Yes I am using PDA and I have been using ODIN since my Vibrant and never had to take the battery out to flash. As far as moving the USB to a different port, if I cancel out the install right now will I be perma-bricked?

Update: So I switched USB ports and it flashed pretty quickly. I guess the port on the front wasn't cutting it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
let it go if the staus bar is moving on your device...otherwise you dont really have a choice but to turn Odin off and start over...but I guess 'YES" you can brick your device
[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Yeah I was nervous as hell to stop the download. I just closed ODIN out first and then took out the battery. Crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. I'm glad it went through the second time because I would've been pissed if I had to send my phone off.
[Verizon Droid Charge] hazard209:
The only time I've seen bricks is when something happens in odin to interrupt the flashing of boot.bin
[Verizon Droid Charge] WilliamKingX17:
Thanks for the knowledge. Hey Hazard I noticed your name in the credits of GC 1.9RC2.3 when I flash it. Could you check out my other question regarding the G-Talk app and any suggestions you have about it would be great.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] luckydog2006:
When first installed mik's CM7 on my LG P500, it comes with the standard Android System Recovery. I can reach this from holding down the POWER key, and it gives me an option from the drop down menu for (Reboot, Recovery etc.). When you choose Recovery, you get booted to the Android System Recovery menu.

Now, if you launch ROM Manager, and install CWM into your device, you have to launch the CWM recovery from within the ROM Manager app itself. Else, if you use the POWER key, and choose Recovery, you get stuck on the LG logo. There is

no way out

that I know of. I tried removing the battery etc. but to no avail.

So, I tried the only scenario I know, I booted into EMERGENCY MODE, and recovered the device using KDZ with a Telus firmware load for the LG P500, and gingerbreak the device again, and then re-wiped it and put back mik's CM7 OS on it again.

It was a weird scenario. Anyways, I now only use the ROM Manager and access the CWM recovery from the ROM Manager only.

When holding down the POWER button, I still have the Recovery option shown, but I have not tried to see what happens if I choose it. I did not feel like re-installing all the apps all over etc. Now I have backups just in case. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Many people, including me, have faced issues with ROM manager. Some times when booting into recovery or taking a NAND backup, it performs a full wipe of the phone and it has been reported many times on this forum.

Are you saying that you installed Mik's CM for the first time through the Android recovery? The general procedure is to root -> install CWM recovery(either through ROM manager or through the android recovery) -> install the ROM through the CWM recovery. After this, whenever the 'Power' button is held, the 'boot into recovery' option would directly lead to CWM.

I installed CWM through ROM manager. It successfully installed CWM but wiped the phone completely. Stopped using ROM manager from then onwards.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] luckydog2006:
No. I installed it as you mentioned below

-> The general procedure is to root -> install CWM recovery(either through ROM manager or through the android recovery) -> install the ROM through the CWM recovery.

But when I hold down the 'Power' button, instead of 'boot into recovery' option which I thought would directly lead to CWM, it hanged at the LG Logo. I have not tried it since. I now only go into CWM recovery from the ROM Manager.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
If ROM manager works fine for you, then go ahead. It is the easier way to take backup/boot into recovery, but it does not work for me :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] JastaPein:
it is safer to use CWM Recovery than Rom Manager installed on Cm7 :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] luckydog2006:
Ok, what is the difference? Its the same thing isn't it? I am using CWM recovery but to get to CWM recovery, I am launching ROM Manager and choosing the option to boot to CWM recovery. I am not using the POWER button method option to get to the recovery. I am not certain the POWER button won't work but the last time I did that, I was hit with the stuck on LG Logo.

I did not notice that by holding down the POWER button, I have three options:

- reboot

- recovery

- bootloader

Not sure what the bootloader option does.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
Ok

1. Booting to recovery through rom manager sucks because rom manager support for our phone is not correct.

2. Booting to recovery through power menu sucks because reboot in power menu causes an unclean shutdown which can screw with your filesystems.

So, in conclusion, don't use either of these methods, turn off the phone and use the button combination.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] luckydog2006:
Ok. Interesting. Did not know that. I will use the button combination to get into the recovery. It does work for me from the ROM Manager, but who knows how long that might work for if its inconsistent for you guys with the same phone as well?

Thanks guys.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lumsdoni:
Lovely people at Vodafone UK have allowed me to upgrade 6 month early for no extra cost to the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Was going to wait for Nexus Prime but hey, you know. It's waiting isn't it?

Going to run both phones as I love the Nexus.

My question is this, I currently have all my Nexus apps on an ext4 partition running Darktremors a2sd.

If I use titanium backup to do a full backup, can I then install titanium on a rooted Galaxy, transfer the backup files over and restore all missing apps using Titanium?

If not, is there an easy way to move apps without having to redownload them all?

Am currently running latest MIUI ROM.

Many thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npiper05:
Hi all

If you had a choice between the G1 and the Motorola Cliq XT, which would you go with? I bought the Cliq XT a few months ago because my G1 just didn't have the memory or battery life to get me through the day. Then I discovered the world of ROMs and rooting and have switched back and forth between the two and just can't decide.

My G1 is running GingerYoshi 1.4 and my Cliq XT is running CM7. I bought an extended battery for the G1, but it does make it a little bigger. Any suggestions for battery life that don't increase the size of the phone?

I LOVE the keyboard on the G1. That is why I've kept it thus far. I also did a lot of reading on this board and thanks to you guys was able to partition the SD so I can install a lot more apps than previously (another reason why I switched to the Cliq XT).

As you can tell, I like my G1 more, but it seems like the Cliq is faster and a bit more reliable. What would you guys do?

I know it's ultimatley up to me, but appreciate any advice.

Nick
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourM:
I enjoy it better than the G1. It has more RAM so that's a plus. It's essentially the same phone but with bigger nand and RAM.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
If I have to pick between the two, natually it will be the Motorella cliq XT, since it got more memory etc... Still keep you G1 as the backup etc... thou. You can also use your G1 in support for ROM testing for these nice DEV here in G1 community. That is what I am planning to do once I get my new phone (right now I am looking at getting Motorella ATRIX). ;) :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
I have observed lately that most of the ROM's are pretty much the same already, i think the devs has reached the full potential of the device in-terms of speed and performance, they have implemented a great deal of tweaks there is and has done a great job.

i have an idea, in which, the next step is to port the latest version of the APKs being released on higher-end Galaxy line, like SGS and SGS2. Like Phone recording, better Messaging app, brigthness control on home screen etc.

If i could just learn how to code in Java, i tried to read some decompiled APKs like the one in the Camera.smali, it was a nose bleeder :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
It's great with your entusiasm! I my opinion these apks are easily replaceable with the apps that are available in the market, mostly free as well. So to me, this seem to be unnecessary.

offtopic: lol @ your "nose bleed" expression xD It's an expression mostly used by the philippines, so people from other countries wont understand it :D

[Dell Streak 7] Dellstreak7sux:
I bought two of these through T-Mobile. My wife's is still working, but mine is bricked. It happened the first week of August 2011 during trip in the Philippines. I maxed out my internal drive with videos, and was in the process of moving them to the SD Chip, but before I had a chance it bricked on me and is now in a continuous loop at the logo screen. Anyhow, I need newbie help, because I have never dealt with Android issues like this. Is there anyway, I can get my photos without formatting? Is there an update?

I did manage to free up 1.5 gigs internal before it bricked on me. But my videos of the country and my family are what have been lost.

I tried to Factory Reset the (option #1, user data only), but afterword still loops. I really had some nice videos that I do not want to lose in my gallery. I was hoping I could upgrade to a new version in order to save the data. Is there any hope?

I have read other forums, and seems you must format.

This really bites!:confused:

To add to the confusion, after we got back to my wife's parents house I put the SD Card in my wife's laptop to see if any videos or photos were moved over. After shutting down her computer to eat with her family, my wife's computer began doing the same thing my tablet was doing with Windows XP Media Edition. I was lost at this point, because I became suspicious of a virus or trojan. Could this have been a virus? Because now her computer loops into the blue screen of death screen and never boots up. I know this may have nothing to do with or maybe it has everything to do with it, because her laptop is a dell, too! LMAO!

It was a hell of a trip. Experienced an Earthquake and two Typhoons there to add to it! LOL! But I had great time!

You can use nvflash method to restore your ds7. Look through this section for thread "Restoring the Streak 7 using NVFlash".

To keep the content of your internal sd card from being over written, follow the instruction here:

Fastboot into clockwork recovery from your computer ( open command prompt to your tools directory after copying the clockwork recovery image in the android sdk directory and type : fastboot boot streak7cwm.img ,then Mount storage and copy them off

Ps

Streak7cwm.img is what I named the clockwork recovery image as I work with several devices on my computer. If you download the image here it will have a different name. I fastboot all my devices externally into cwm without issues. Hopefully you can still get into fastboot. If so, your data should be recoverable.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfway:
Hello all,

I am receiving a new SD card tomorrow and I'm planning on making a partition on that card to install all my apps on the SD card.

Now I wondered, if you use apps like theft aware ( https://www.theftaware.com ) which I am considering, this does mean that from the moment the thief removes the SD-card, the whole app is gone right?

I read in an old topic that it's not possible to install an app in the phone's real internal memory when you use an external partition, is this still not possible?

The app is factory reset proof etc, only way to remove it is to flash a new ROM, but if removing the SD card also would remove it (in this case), it makes it already less attractive..

If anybody would also happen to have links on guides or more info about the sd-ext process, feel free to add them here, so far I have read http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015532&page=164 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175550 but the more info before first trying it the merrier.

Rooted my G2 in December 2010 but did not install any custom ROMs on it. I have SuperUser and ClockWork Mod on it. The OTA 2.3.3 update finally made its way to my phone, but does not update because of root.

I have seen too many threads explaining how to update the phone, leaving me confused :confused: Can somebody please explain how to or point me to a relevant thread.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
There are pre-rooted versions posted in Development. Just download from there, put on your SD card, and flash from ROM Manager. You are also S-Off?

If you install an official ROM, you lose root. You don't want that.

[G2 and Desire Z General] FullScreen57:
Thanks redpoint73 and martonikaj for your help. I was able to update the ROM.

One last question for the folks here, I performed a Titanium Pro Backup before upgrading the ROM.

Which one of the following restores should I perform now that I have upgraded to 2.3.4?

1. Restore missing apps with data

2. Restore all system data

3. Restore missing apps + all system data

4. Restore newer versions of user apps

5. Restore all apps with data

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I usually do 5. Restore all apps with data when moving to a new ROM. (never restore system data unless you're re-flashing the same ROM). I usually select it, then scroll through the list and uncheck some apps that may cause issues. Things like Clocks, Browsers, etc. often overwrite system-level apps and can cause problems. YMMV.

Its in your best interest to perform a nandroid backup

before

doing a big restore of 100's of apps, as there is a chance that there may be some problems or incompatibilities that cause issues, and you want to be able to go back to a state before installing all those apps to troubleshoot without having to re-flash the entire ROM.

They should work in any version but have not been tested.

This is a port to the Atrix of the original animation made by MagnusRagnarok.

(I will modify the installation script to automate this process, but for now it must be done manually)

Just put the zip file on your internal or external SD card and via CWM install them (that's it).
