[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Victor.Moran1:
Hello.

I bought a phone from ebay and it came rooted with ginger yoshi 1.4

The phone is overall fast, but most of the time after being in the apps menu if you go to the home screen it slows, i mean it takes a while (8-12 seconds +/-) to load the home screen (including the weather applet)

Is there anyway to make it a little faster or is it always like that? (your magic does that too?)

The phone its the fender edition or the MyTouch 1.2 the one with a little more ram.

Also is there a GPS issue with this particular yoshi? because i cant seem to connect to sattelites, gmaps says unable to get your location and GPS test shows "Gps On" but with yellow instead of green.

Thanks i appreciate your time and replies.

Edit

I found the reason for the launcher to restart, but i cant seem to find anything about the GPS

No offense meant here, but I think you posted this in the wrong device forum. It might be why you haven't gotten much in the way of response. This is the forum for the MyTouch slide.

Good luck!

Hi, I just wanted to welcome myself to the community. I originally had the samsung vibrant, but it was lost :(. Asurion sent me the sgs4g because they didn't have the vibrant available. I miss the 16gb of storage from the vibrant, but sgs4g sure has its benefits. I know it's nothing new for you guys, but I love the 4g speeds, the larger battery, and a WORKING gps that locks in seconds!!! The front facing camera is a cool added feature, but I am not sure if I would ever use it lol. Also based on the leaks we will eventually get gingerbread, hopefully :). I did notice that rooting and flashing this phone is somewhat different which doesn't bother me. I just have to get used to it :). All in all, I am very happy with this phone!

Oh, btw, most importantly, can't wait to start flashing!!!

[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Ok, so i had posted a thread some time ago where my vibrant was loosing charge on the charger, not only that i cant odin to stock, Ive reinstalled the drivers a million times, tried different usb ports and different ways to get into download mode, whats weird is that when its plugged in and in download mode nothing happens. odin doesnt recognize it or anything, but occasionally if i reboot it odins yellow box lights up and if i click it nothing happens. Also when it looses the charge completly it doesnt charge anymore for a few hours. Im currently running Project V with the gingerbread bootloaders. ANyhelps appreciated thanksss.
[Vibrant General] jedijos:
I have a question, how do you do to charge the battery??? do you use a external third party charger? have you ever charged your battery the regular way (pluggin the phone)?
[Vibrant General] Oxirane:
Sounds to me like the USB port is brokededed. Have you got t-mobile phone insurance?
[Vibrant General] Alex530:
Yea ive charged it the regular way.

... I've been cooking along - installed all the tools & whatnot -- to compile me a kernel -- and I'm sitting here in limbo, waiting to move along.

I grow impatient, awaiting the repository-ressurection!..

Somebody out there: please offer me up a virgin!! - ah, that is - virgin kernel source-tree targzball for "68eeef5" (2.6.32.9-g68eeef5 FRG83G, target is a moto droid 1) - if ya' got it?!

I've looked high & low -- every reference I've found points to the kernel dot org repository!! I always seem to have luck w/ timing -- both good & bad Cooking w/ gas now - but got nothing to cook - "ain't no bread in the breadbox, cause I ain't got enough dough"

I'm really jones-ing for an ext2.ko (or jffs2 or whatever) - & maybe a loop.ko? - so I can get debdroid rolling.

I guess I can go into an existing (closely related? how frequently do such software-interfaces change?) /lib/system/modules/ ext2.ko & "kludge" the elf-file ".modinfo" section's vermagic to match whatever the insmod kernel-ioctl demands?? Think I can use the ndk's arm-eabi- ld or objcopy to accomplish the atrocity, be it necessary...

Anybody got my jimmy-jaun targzball, or the likes?! I'll be your bff - or not!

Does anyone know of a quality gmail widget app? I prefer the gmail app over the mail app stock on my phone but I would like a widget so I can scroll through the messages on ky home screen. Any help would be appreciated.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrauser2:
Which one do you prefer?

A fast, smooth and complete CM6 with Video Recording AV not syncing/Lags

or

a super CM7 with Accelerometer Lags?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eagleeyetom:
CM7 is still in development. This is the main reason why I prefer Gingerbread :P I'm counting days to the Ice Cream Sandwitch. This might be something special ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codfreak:
Definitely CM7 because of the theme chooser and the cool "edge-glow"-overscroll-effect:D

By the way:

I´m using GingerDx 011 right now, and it´s smoother than my old miniCM6 was before.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrauser2:
Well I use CM6: FroyoBread, it also has the theme chooser and the edgeglow. Just like GB. Before, I am using GDX because it has complete camera. But the Accelerometer is lagging.. so I went back to FroyoBread now. FroyoBread has similar features with GDX. So for now, I choose CM6, practically bugless & complete, and CM7 is still in development..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
CM6 FroyoBread or Krauser SROM or MiniCM6

These are my favorite ones. I also like KuyaDROID but it has a lot of bugs already, because CM7 is under development. CM6 is now practicaly bugless (And thanks again to jkrauser2, you solved one of the biggest bugs on CM6, one of the reasons that disapointed me on CM6 and make me went to CM7 a lot of times because i record a lot of videos with my phone xD [No money to buy a VideoCamera, i used the rest of my money to buy my 800€ Home/Gaming computer xD] )
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K3lthuzad:
I chose CM6. I think I might have to go back to Froyobread until later relases of GingerDX. With CM6 I just felt everything was much more polished, and also the accelerometer lag and screen issues are annoying.

I was wondering if there are any go to screen proctectors? Any to avoid, like do any cause issues with the touch screen?

Sent from my Galaxy Tab!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] slack04:
I'd avoid the hard plastic static-type. They're difficult to put on without dust. I've been using the ones from clearprotector (.com). 50% off and free ship with the code iwantultra (have it memorized cause I've gotten several). The corners and edges are kind of a ***** to get on, but they work well and come with a lifetime warranty (or so they say...). This is a wet-application so don't use them unless you're willing to take the time to watch the youtube videos to learn how to install, and then takes about 20 minutes to install.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
I get mine from www.bestskinsever.com. I've had no problems with them. The screen protector is easy to apply and very durable.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Raistlin1:
I have Ghost Armor on mine and like it, it is a bit smoother than Zagg or Bestskinsever.

Be warned if you want the full body protection, adding this to the back of my tab caused me to have the newton ring problem. I never had the problem with just the screen protector on, I should I have just stuck with the screen and not the entire thing but I really wanted the matte back on my tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] mroneeyedboh:
Thanks fellas. I have and used to do/use the wet application ones for a while. Then I got tired of them and just went with the cling ones. I think I'll get the wet app and it should last a longgg time. Especially since Im not going to be using the tab every day.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Step666:
I went with Clarivue on the recommendation of a friend.

It's decent enough, no tackiness or anything like that but it's not the best fitting, could've been a couple of mm wider and taller.

Other than that, whilst I've had a long-standing dislike for them, recently I've found Zagg's InvisibleShield protectors to be pretty decent - they seem to be very well fitted and the tacky feel to them that I remember doesn't seem as noticeable.

Kinda wish I'd gone with them for my Tab
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] sam008:
Which would you guys say offers the smoothest screen experiences of all? I don't care about longevity as I only use my tab about once every 2 weeks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] mroneeyedboh:
Imo the smoothest would be the cling on ones.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MMcCraryNJ:
I purchased these in July from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058NXPLK

I was never a fan of the "wet" applications, to me it just seemed like too much work and I was never comfortable spraying any type of liquid all over my devices, regardless of how harmless they might be.

But anyway, this is a clear, non-matte protector that is the "static cling" kind of application. Once it goes on properly, you cannot see that is even there. The touch feeling is the same as if you had no protector on. I really feel that those matte ones, while they do reduce sun-glare, a lot of them provide a "tacky" feeling that maybe is fine for a smaller screen such as a phone, but can become very annoying for a larger screen if you do a lot of swiping across the larger surface area of a tablet. But that is a personal thing....I usually don't use my tablet outside in the bright sun anyway, so the matte types are useless for me.

I've had it on since the end of July and it's held up very well. You do have to wipe the smudges off the screen occasionally, but you'd have to do that anyway even with no protector. I'm extremely satisfied with these.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Step666:
So I've got an Invisible Shield en route for my Tab, will post back when it arrives.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Valicious:
I just bought the glare-reduction screen protector from BodyGuardz. Has anyone else had any experience with them? I wanted something that would offer a decent amount of protection for the screen (fingerprint and physical pressure), but also not reduce the touch sensitivity at all. (I type with the tip of my nose since I can't use my fingers, and trying to press too hard hurts :p)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rype89:
Not sure where you can get it, but here in Singapore there's a brand called DataFlex and their screen protectors seem really good.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Algorismus:
I bought SGP steinheil shield ultra optics. I liked it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] nuprotocol:
So this newton ring issue is a major problem. What if I just protect the back and leave the screen open? I have the new logitech keyboard case on the way and the front is protected in the case, but the back is exposed. I planned on protecting the back only. But I wont do anything if it'll case the newton rings.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] skeeter123:
Newton Ring?

Yeah. Same here. Just want a more "grippy" back. How does one produce Newton Rings from the back of the device. Methunked it was a display issue resulting from the interaction of the protector and display glass...kinda by definition...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] nuprotocol:
Hopefully we'll find out soon. I just want to protect the back.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Raistlin1:
I blame the install of the rear skin because I had the screen skin installed first and then three weeks later I had the rear done. He turned the tab face down and installed the skin. When he turned it over, bam, Netwon Rings...

I never had them before the front screen protector, during the front screen protector install or after the front protector was on the Tab.

Will it happen to you? I have no idea but from what I have read about the problem it is caused because of the Tab moving/flexing which can be caused by excessive heat and certain handling of the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] skeeter123:
thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to explain the details. Sounds like a warranty kinda thing mebbe. Hope it gets resolved! Mine is on order and I'll watch out for this issue.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pokey9000:
I bought an anti-glare protector from Cellularbuy on eBay and managed to get it on in one go with no dust at all. The protector fits perfectly and the camera and light sensor holes line up spot on. The anti-glare makes the screen look a little grainy, but I hear that even the Steinhell ones that are many times more expensive have the same problem.

This has been gone over millions of times on each forum here, but here's how I did it:

-Wipe the screen down with a soft cloth and glasses cleaner or isopropyl to get any grease off

-Run the shower in a small bathroom on hot until the room is unbearably steamy

-Put on a hat to keep your hair and head funk from falling on the screen

-Line the protector up on the screen before removing the film and tape it on one side with a few pieces of Scotch tape

-Also make a "handle" out of tape to put on the top of the protector opposite the taped-down end. This will help with alignment

-Go into the bathroom and clean the screen with a good microfiber cloth. Also clean the front and back protective sheets on the film so there's no dust to come off when you start peeling them. The steam should be enough to wet it. Take one final look

-Peel the protector back and lay it down pulling the taped edge taut to keep it lined up

-Smooth any bubbles out with a credit card BEFORE peeling the top sheet off

IF you do have any dust, use a piece of tape on a corner to lift up the protector and another piece of tape to pick up the dust. If the room is steamy enough and you did a good job of wiping the screen this shouldn't happen.

Has anyone experienced issues monitoring current with either "Battery Monitor Widget" or "Current Widget"?

I am somewhat noobish. Coming from HTS Inspire running LEEDroid (Awesome! Wish Lee would port to Infuse) and now I have the Infuse running S7 (Awesome!). Between the Inspire and Infuse I have probably flashed about 20 times trying different ROMS or fixing a screwup.

When I run either of the above mentioned battery monitor apps they do not function as I would expect. Sometime it will take 30 minutes before the current updates. Sometimes nothing. I have tried different settings on each app and I have returned to stock, with Ultimate Unbrick (thank you gtg465x) but still no change. I have flashed the Community Kernal with CWM red but no change. I have wiped Dalvik, Battery, sys, cache, SD, my arse:D and anything else I can wipe (except my dog, he looked:eek: and ran).

I have a feeling my problem is related to the fact that I have not completed a complete battery cycle but I just can't understand why these apps will not provide an updated reading even if it is un-calibrated.

Is it just my patience or a physical hardware issue?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Nearly all kernels support CW with two limitations :

1) Only displays charging current not discharge, hardware limitation unless I find an undocumented ADC

2) Current reading is 1.83x real value

Also our fuel gauge chip has no calibration.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sixn3is7:
Understand. That kinda sucks. I would like to try to reduce battery consumption and using those two apps on the HTC Inspire helped alot for monitoring my changes.

Thanks for the quick answer.

I am having trouble updating to Gingerbread using KIES I currently have installed FROYO 2.2. but Whenever I plug in my device I get a not supported message 2.0 error. I have also tried rooting the phone but I am not able to continue.

Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
Don't use kies; use odin. If you don't repartition you will keep your apps/settings. Your results will be exactly the same as if you upgraded via kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $omator:
no repartition, no cwm cache/factory reset = battery drains, fc, soft reboots and so
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
Not necessarily. I went from KC1 to KG3 on my wife's phone and she has absolutely no issues. However I wouldn't go from KC1 to JVR without a factory reset. It all depends the source/destination.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $omator:
yes necessarily
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
Explain. What mechanisms are at work to cause such problems? The only logical explanation would be left over app data from previous system apks. But my experience has shown that this is not an issue.

What do you think kies does differently to allow upgrading without wiping?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $omator:
infact thats the source of most if not all problems (left over app data from previous system apks)

kies update is not the same as odin update or cwm update
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
Fair enough. My original point holds. My wife has not had a single issue since upgrading via odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $omator:
so the package was well prepared new files overwrited old ones and app data was wiped
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxbeanxx:
It was the official kg3 downloaded using check fus downloader. Either way it doesn't matter; one can try without wiping and if problems occur, just do a hard reset. Simple enough.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanbilly:
I put Milkys MOD on my phone, and used Kies for my daughter's, Kies goes straight on, no problem, all apps and contacts as they were, a good, safe way to upgrade.

I updated my gt540 to 2.3 but forgot to back up my original ROM.

So now I cannot unlock my phone, and the 3 company didn't assist

me to do so neither.

I have tried the ROM other than 1.6 in this website, but none of them work for me.

Is there anyone who knows how to unlock my gt540?

Is recovering back to original 1.6 the only to do that?

What if I cannot find the original 1.6 for Australia 3 company users?

[GT540 Optimus General] olite:
You only need to go back down to 2.1 (And any ROM will do, doesn't need to be the 3 ROM), that will enable you to enter the unlocking code.

I made the same mistake, went all the way up to 2.3.5 and then realized I hadn't keyed in the unlock code yet and had to re-flash with 2.1 to enter the code. (It's broken from 2.2+ as the ROMS are not issued by LG, and therefore missing the special codes to access these sections.)
