[General Questions and Answers] vajorie:
The connection is not dropped anywhere: 3G stays connected on the phone and the wifi signal is strong groing from the nexus/hotspot to the laptop connected to it and is not dropped.

But after a while, the laptop starts to get no data at all from the phone (as in, it requests data but nothing comes back). The laptop is fine as it works with no problems using my home's router via wireless.

I can usually ping the nexus fine when this problem occurs, but pings to the outside do not go through, as you'd expect.

I end up having to restart the hotspot function (a phone reboot fixes it too). Does anyone know what might be the problem? Or how I could troubleshoot it?

The nexus one is running CM 7.0.3. Google did not reveal any results (or I failed to find the correct keywords)...

I've been using Galnet MIUI and i'm very satisfied . I tottally recommend it. It's stable.

I'm also using the V6 supercharger script.
[Defy General] evilinheaven:
Since i bought my Defy i have tried several ROMs. CM7, MS2Ginger, MotoGinger, Leaked stock 2.3.4...

But still looking for one without bugs... MS2Ginger was ok, but couldn't create social account in the moto blur. Now i am with the stock 2.3.4 that i imagine that motoblur should work, but can even login or create de Blur account. Maybe the problem is me, not the ROM. I think i gonna try MIUI once...

There is a good topic in the development section about chosing de best (right for you) ROM, take a look...
[Defy General] Acceleracer:
Until now my favorite ROM is MotoGinger !
[Defy General] ryan8r:
A majority will agree its CyanogenMod , no matter what rom they're on.

what's this v6 supercharger script ? and wht does it do actually ?
[Defy General] ronson3ronson:
used the leaked defy+ 2.3.4-134 ginger on defy for about 2 month, fast and stable.

before flashing you have to look which camera-module/lense (red/green) is build within your defy :o

CM7.....forever
[Defy General] haxabbit:
i think it wouldn't be easy to answer the original poster's question without knowing what he expects from a good rom (why does 2.2 suck for him?)

I personally use the WajkIUI. I like it because it has the pleasant underpinnings of MIUI and it incorporates a lot of things that improve the stability and functionality (e.g. CM7's camera)

I don't particularly think that it's the perfect rom though. Then again, nothing is.

I get FCs on some apps and there is a possibility that CM7 could be faster. However, i have the impression that CM7 consumes life a little bit more quickly.
[Defy General] asn39:
will cm7 Overclock or Underclock my defy ?

i dont wanna OC or UV my defy which rom is good for this ? i wanaa keep it on 800mhz !!!

[Defy General] alaageria:

help me[/QUOTE]

You can still use CM7 as it is a stable rom and keep it at 800 MHz by going to CWM and changing the default back to 800 MHz
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Almost all the custom Roms I know are OC'd to 1ghz or more, if you insist on an untouched basic interface then perhaps a stock 2.2 rom is your only option. But as stated above custom Rom's can also be Underclocked to 800 MHz much to your preference.
[Defy General] asn39:
thats cool

thats cool thanx i will try to either underclock or stay on 2.2...

Totally recommend.
[Defy General] Bleak3993:
When comment, had recently upgraded to the latest version of WajkIUI, had given me no problems at the time, now that I have a few days of use, and the wifi dropping me out all the time, I've tried other roms and I have the same issue, i don't think is my router because with Froyo CEE i had none.

Then, i'm still looking for a rom without bugs, specially wifi kind.
[Defy General] ezantera:
CM7 have leaking battery, and some glitches... stock froyo and mods are ugly and outdated.... miui are closed source, i dont trust them.... i have to many private stuff and internet banking... so, only choice for me considering stability, looks, and speed are stock leaked defy+ rom whick is awesome btw :) i strongly suggest it.
[Defy General] Bleak3993:
Sounds nice, i'll try it, can you post the link to the thread with this rom please?
[Defy General] ezantera:
I had defy with red lens, and 2.2.2 CEE rom which worked just fine but ugly and somehow little slow.

Now I upgraded toleaked german 2.3.4 defy+ rom which walter79 modded just little I guess to adopt to our "old" defys :) My phone is just like new one on this rom. Here is link

I downloaded multilink and followed instructions step by step.

[Defy General] abysstheking:
I really think that people looking for a good, stable rom should try cm7.1...its cynogenmod's official release and trust me, it is good...quite a few people reported bugs with this rom, but almost all of them later admitted they didn't follow the instructions right...so as long as u do everything properly, u shouldn't face any problem atall...also, its super smooth and fast, without any wifi bugs as reported by a few (have been using it for almost two days now with wifi on 24x7,working fine)..

and if "following the steps properly" part freaks anybody out, then hey, i have been using my defy for a month now, and its my first android, and the first handset i am tweaking with..so if i can do it, am sure u can too :D

[Defy General] Aspsusa:
Isn't the consensus now that this isn't necessarily true, that since some time this spring you can't deduce which camera module your phones has from the tint of the lens?

Best to read the stickied thread all about it.

But speaking about cameras, since we are off-topic anyway in this thread (maybe?), anyone else have problems with the camera app (in a non-blur Nordic Froyo (so far unrooted, never flashed)) just quitting on them, or rather suddenly just refusing to open?

And with an annoying, non-informative message of course (can't remember exactly, but something like "oops, something went wrong, must close this app").

Nothing but a boot/power off helps when this starts to happen. (Not what I call stable if your phone requires a reboot every day <=See? OnTopic!)

And if we are talking about ROMs - here's a somewhat silly noob question:

Are basic stuff like phone functions and camera included in all roms?

And if so, are they better than the stock ones?

And if not (and maybe even if they are), are there nicer, cleaner, better, more customizable, more fully featured versions you can install instead?

(Recommendations welcome!)
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Goto Manage Apps and try clearing Camera data. If that doesn't help you can flash the full SBF over, you wont lose apps and settings.

All custom roms based on AOSP (CM7, MIUI) come with a different customised enhanced set of preinstalled apps while the stock roms come with almost the same set of blur apps updated according to the firmware.

[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
i have been using cm7 1.5 now for about a week. i have to say it is one of the best custom roms i have ever used. it beats anything i had on my previous 3 android handsets. to say i am impressed is an understatement. everything just works properly no messing around and the level of thought and detail that has gone into it astounds me.

since i flashed this rom it is like i am using a different phone. it wasnt a slouch before but now it is like the phone has taken a huge shot of speed.

as i say i reckon that you wouldnt go far wrong with this rom. the camera flash is a bit dodgy sometimes but that is the only issue and as the defy has a pretty shoddy camera full stop and i have a very good proper camera for picture duties this aint a major issue anyway.

bottom line cm7 1.5 just works and is what i recommend for long term stable use.
[Defy General] Aspsusa:
Thanks, I'll try that if it happens again. Just force-quitting the application did not help.

Any place to find comparisons and critiques of these?

And with custom roms, are you still stuck with whatever the person/team who developed it thought was a good camera/phonebook/dialler/etc, or can you try to find something else if you don't like their choices? (Easily, I mean.)

Since my phone came without blur, is it still blur apps that I have on it? (Probably mostly a question of semantics?)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obstacle1:
Hi everyone,

I've had a bit of a search on here, and although I can find threads about SD bricking, I can't quite find one that matches my situation.

I tried to root my phone and flash my first ROM today, I thought it'd gone ok, partitioned using GParted and flashed the GingerBurst ROM, and seemed to start up again ok. I was going to add something to my SD cards though, and found my USB connection menu didn't included the usual use as disk option and the SD card is now inaccessible from both my computer and the phone.

Under Settings->SD & Phone Storage, both Total and Available Space fields are 'Unavailable' and Mount SD Card and Erase SD Card are greyed out.

I've tried getting the bootloader up to see if I can do anything by holding down the volume down button and the power button (phone doesn't even turn on and screen remains blank), so I think my phone no longer sees that as a recognised option. I've tried back+power and up vol+power (for fastboot), and I get nothing. All my phone will do is power on if I hit the power button, so now I really have no idea of how to get the SD card back up and functioning.

I haven't tried repartitioning it because if my computer can't see it, and neither can my phone, GParted surely won't... I also don't have a card reader.

Is there anything I can do? Is there another way to get the bootloader up? Did the key combination change with gingerbread? Maybe I went wrong somewhere during my rooting... I don't know. Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Daisy
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidandy:
You need to either get a new spare card, Format in FAT32 then add a 1gb EXT3 partition, or get a card reader and reformat you old card again with FAT32 first then EXT3 second- if it doesnt work, bin it

Dont worry about losing applications you can download these again from market.

Ensure your card is properly formatted if using A2SD

Wipe your phone and caches

Install your ROM from the SD card

re install applications

Enjoy
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You have to press and hold first volume down (for hboot) or back (for fastboot) and then the power button. It seems as if you doing it the other way around.

Otherwise, you can do it so: When running rom, use restart option from shutdown menu. Then press and hold back button.

After you successfully booted your phone into fastboot mode, set up adb / fastboot (for a guide see my sig), connect your phone to computer, open command line on computer and type

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

.

Now reboot into rom. Your desire should now recognize the sd card.

Hi, thanks for the info! I've tried all the instructions here: cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows

I got to 14 - but no drivers were automatically installed, and at 16 what looked like a command prompt style window popped up for a split second and disappeared - no information that I could read on it in that moment anyway, I did try again but same thing, so I continued with the steps to check, and tried it again after step 28 with the same thing happening again.

When I try to boot in fastboot mode my phone looks as though it's just starting normally - should anything be different? I don't know what fastboot is meant to be like! I also tried the piece of code you included in your message there and brought up a window that said it was waiting for the device, but made no progress...

I am correct in thinking I should be entering these prompts by going Start-> and typing 'run' in the search field, and then entering the prompt there? If not then that might explain something!

I just got a Galaxy Tab WiFi myself, but I did my research *before* I bought it. No Gingerbread is available, that I know of. There are not many alternative ROMs for the WiFi only model.

What did you use in your rooting attempt? The only two ways I know are with a Windows app or with z4root, an Android app. I haven't tried either one, here is a link to z4root on this forum.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loserbaby:
EDIT: from other answers here the Sprint GB 2.3.4 ROM stock or rooted sounds the way to go, so it looks like this should work for you as it did for me on my Verizon CDMA tab.

It's hard to say for sure, experimentation is part of the fun, but killing the tab isn't. :) I didn't find any definitive answers on flashing a Sprint CDMA ROM on to a Verizon CDMA Galaxy Tab (for example), so I decided to try for myself:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255339

I suspect doing a FULL ROM flash would be a *very* bad idea (it seems doing that with a GSM ROM on other (non-GSM) tabs KILLS it). However, the technique I used was only to apply the kernel and filesystems, so I would *think* if you had a backup from before (always best to have a backup anyway, right?) you could always revert. You may want to look around and check to see if stock WIFI images are out there (I don't know for sure) but the Voodoo or CwM (ClockworkMod) recovery backups should be fine either way.

Then if you apply the filesystem and kernel files from 2.3.4 and they don't work you should be able to revert (I would assume, I can certainly flash back and forth on mine). I would *think* the kernel supports vanilla hardware + CDMA additionally (i.e. you don't need it, but it doesn't hurt), but may be fine.

But again, unless you're prepared to take the risk, I cannot say for sure, you can wait and see if anyone else chimes in, but that's my take.

I have the P1010 also and from what I've heard, the two models (P1010 and P1000) have different hardware which makes the latter model possible for the ginger update while ours likely will never get it.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
If you've found the stock p1010 firmware (which i know is floating around these forums) then you shouldn't be too worried about trying out the Sprint GB rom. It's true there's no CWM to make a nice easy nandroid backup to restore if things go bad, but there's always download mode and heimdall to restore you back to stock. If you're not willing to TRY, then you're stuck with boring ol stock. If memory serves, the wifi only is closest hardware wise to the CDMA Tabs, not the GSM Tabs, so yes, any GSM rom would be a bad idea. Read about recovering via Heimdall with the stock firmware and be adventurous!

I take what I said back, there apparently is a VERY big difference between the 3g Tabs and the wifi only (difference in CPU's and GPU's) so you can still try if you want, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Not sure where I remembered someone saying they got the Sprint rom to work on the wifi only, but I think they were mistaken which Tab they had.
