Do we need unlocked bootloader or not????

Hey can anyone tell me that when installing FXZ from this way RSD lite do we need an unlocked bootloader or not????????
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lance2ecnal:
No we dont since rsd is Motorola's program is has the necessary permissions

reviving old threads... (need help flashing my phone to stock!)

just received a droid bionic from a friend that doesnt want to flash. that boots but doesnt. tried flashing all things known to man for this device and all the important images just give me the "preflash validation failure" the md5 is fine, and its the full flash. i am trying to download the file again but i already know it wont flash over. i tried individual flashes of the different IMG files and BIN files using fastboot flash partition name-of-file.img/bin and these 4 refuse to flash. devtree.bin, grfs.img, cdt.bin and system.img. these 4 files produce the exact same error. i loaded RSD lite and the phone info for bootloader version and other stuff was all blank or N/A as information. any ideas why a stock FXZ would even be giving me an error?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kao_u20i:
Hi all,

I'm running MiniCM7 Pro V4, build 4.0.A.2.335 and overall I'm happy with it, but I do have a couple of issues;

The phone reboots randomly. Not too often but usually when I need it most!

When I receive a call, the slider to answer the call covers the name/number of the caller.

Sometimes when I unplug from charger, the green light stays on instead of going off, and the battery drains very quickly when this happens!

On my previous ROM, apps didn't open until I chose to open them, whereas on this one I have stuff open all the time that I don't use too often.

What would be the best stable ROM to upgrade to?

Also, what are the main differences between ROMs like Sonybread, gigglebread, gingerdx or cyanocomb, etc?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TA123:
I can't decide if I want a 3g or just wifi. The difference in price is quite substantial £579 vs £479 I believe. I wonder if it will be possible to use a dongle or mobile phone as a hot spot. Any comments?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
I tried out the Mobile WiFi Hotspot app on my HTC this evening and the WiFi Tab connected to it easily, I was on a reasonably quick 3G connection at the time and everything worked really well. I was sat in my car (waiting) and I suppose the downside to this is that I was draining battery on 2 devices at the same time.

If you're indoors then you could have one or both devices on charge and battery would'nt be an issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
Lot of 3G users feel there is no love for them on the forums since most dev's create Wifi only ROMs. Wifi only Tabs are more common here in the US and have been out a lot longer, so development happens more frequently.

I went for wifi only because everywhere I go, generally has free wifi available. I tether with my Captivate if I can not find a wifi signal.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
3G IMO.

Tethering just ends up draining the battery on two devices at the same time and a lot of networks charge extra for it (thankfully I have it included in my tariff).

Also, the 3G Tab has a memory card slot whereas the wi-fi only model does not.

If you do go for the 3G Tab, Three have a SIM-only data tariff aimed at iPads which gives you 10GB for £15 on a 30-day rolling contract.

One of the best value data tariffs in the UK and better yet no fixed term.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
You have an SD card slot on your Tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
No but I have the wi-fi only version.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] simple_punk:
they removed the SD card slot even in the 3G version. :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxmeister:
Are you sure about that? Last i heard the 3G model doesnt have a microSD slot.

A regular Three PAYG SIM has unlimited data for £15 - no need for an iPad "plan"! ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
In which case my apologies, everything I'd read so far (even on here) said otherwise.

That's really pretty criminal of Samsung, it's not like the issue of, say, a full-sized HDMI port which wouldn't fit onto a device like the Tab, there's no good reason for them not to have included a microSD slot.

Except, doing that is expressly forbidden:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TA123:
Do you know of it's possible to use a USB dongle with it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
You couldn't run a dongle directly from the Tab, you wouldn't have the necessary drivers.

You could use one of the mi-fi devices but then you're back to tethering and having to charge two devices etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ceminino:
I've got the 3G version and there's definitely no SD card slot...

3G is the way to go if you plan on using it outside, I'm nearly 3 hours a day in the bus and it's really handy :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Shaldy:
I was thinking about getting WiFi-only version and tether with my HTC Desire, but it's a huge battery drainage for the phone and i'm on public transport 2hrs/day, so i ended up with 3G version (anyway it's pretty hard to get 7510 here in Russia, they are not yet officially distributing it, we have 16Gb 7500 only). As for ROM situation, don't worry Stock ROM is pretty smooth with V6 supercharger script + OC 1.4Ghz Kernel.

TL:DR version: ask yourself "Do I have free WiFi everywhere i go?", because tethering everyday with your phone is not cool.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RavenY2K3:
I pretty much echo the other 3G users, when I bought my iPad last year, I got all the way to the check out with the wifi version, then changed my mind at the last minute and got the 3G version, it was the best thing I did, so when it came to getting the Tab, I wasn't going for any other version than the 3G version.

In my opinion, it's an accompanying mobile device, if I have to go and find somewhere that had wifi each time I needed access to the net, it wouldn't be very mobile? I just get my SIM cards of Ebay, 3GB of data to use in 3 months, cheap as chips.

So in short "3G version, every time!"

:D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] justbenice:
I think the same ! The tablet like ipad, galaxy tab are nothing without 3G , it will become just a Toy . 3G all the way!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Matrix_19:
Great post!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TA123:
Thanks a lot guys! Very helpful. I think that

32GB 3G is what I want. Have to wait until it's available in the UK.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nandihno:
i always carry my phone with me..and given thats android i can tether to my tablet whilst commuting to and from work.

so really no need for a 3G tablet...dont like paying twice for my data
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
That presumes your network doesn't charge extra for tethering.

In the UK, only one network offers tethering by default on all tariffs but you still get better value paying for one of their mobile broadband tariffs.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] justbenice:
I don't know which country are you living but why you have to pay twice for your data ? In my country we pay for what we use. Your tablet don't have 3G you still have to pay 3G fee for your phone, your tablet have 3G you don't have to pay 3G for your phone and pay for tablet only.

By the way, 3G tablet was the best choice if you can buy it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gokpog:
3G or not can't be answered by anyone but yourself and it largly/only depends on how you plan to use your tablet.

Mine is no travel device. It lies on my sofa table 95% of the time, I have almost no need for 3G connectivity. So why should I pay for it? The remaining 5% of the time I tether my phone via bluetooth which drains the battery much less than a wifi hotspot. For me thats an acceptable compromise.

If you plan on taking the Tab with you all the time, then go with 3G. The hassle of tethering your phones connection to your tablet every time you just want to look up the latest news, email, social network update is not worth the money you could have saved on the wifi only version.

So I've noticed that ever since the market updated, not all apps show up. I can type something, it will pull up books games apps and movies. It will say 4000 results for apps but will not scroll past maybe 60. Anyone else notice this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenKranged:
Are you running with modified dpi? (lcd density) Anything other than 240 causes apps to show as "incompatible" when accessing the market via pc, and they don't show up at all on the phone.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volknochi:
I'm beginning to wonder if my battery is borked for my phone. I've done every single thing out there to ensure my battery was always 100% charged and calibrated.

However, today my phone read as being 100%. Went home, charged it up when the phone was powered off to make sure it actually did get to 100%. It did that, all was fine, or so I thought. A bit later, I check my phone and it's reading 72%. :eek:

There is no way this is normal for a battery. My phone has been dropped a couple times (mild drops, not huge ones), so wondering if it's possible a cell in the battery has been borked?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrooklynsFinest:
Had it been calibrated?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volknochi:
I said it in my first post.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
What ROM? Did you look at it when you removed the charger? Did it still say 100%? Was it warm when you picked it up? Did you have signal? Did you install any new apps? Did you just reboot? Did you have a random reboot?

Don't sweat it, charge it and check it again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volknochi:
No ROM, just a regular Gingerbread shoved through Odin, along with CWM purple.

The phone was 100% before I put it on the charger. I only checked the phone when I heard it doing the signal lost/found noise, and that's when I saw it went down dramatically (there is NO way that attempting to find a signal can lose battery power by 28% in 30 minutes).

Phone was not warm at all.

I have about 2 bars of signal.

I have not installed any new apps.

I did not reboot.

I never have random reboots (it's a reason why I don't mess with the Gingerbread ROMs).

I'm not sweating this, I'm more annoyed. And, all people do is say "Charge it, do this and that to calibrate, turn off phone, charge it again, reset battery stats, spin it 360 degrees, read it a bed time story...." ;) But it simply doesn't fix it some times.

Wouldn't this point towards a faulty cell in the battery?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Look at your percentage when you pull it off charge. There is a bug in the Gingerbread leaks that kills the bump charging. So while it says 100% while connected, at that time it continues to run at 100 Mhz but not charging actually killing your battery. So you can go back to EC05 stock and see if it still does it to be sure. Assuming you did reset the battery stats already with that bed time story...LOL.

Low in volume and kind of crackles and cuts in and out almost when talking on it. My girlfriend has the same issue! Anyone else having this problem our know of a fix or setting to help the problem??
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mikecheat04:
I have to say my Bionic has one of the loudest speakers I've ever heard on a phone. I'm comparing this to my OG that I modded to be louder than stock and several iPhones. I also haven't noticed the crackles and cut outs. Maybe take back for replacement? Odd y'all both got bad ones tho...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theproj:
Yeah my speaker is pretty damn loud compared to my previous phones where I would have to pick up the phone and point the speaker phone towards. Kinda defeated the purpose, now I can have it a few feet away and hear perfectly.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] codehtmai:
I would describe the Bionic's speaker as getting "uncomfortably loud". I did also use it for a ~45 min concall while away from the office and the quality was fantastic.

Why would you ever need to have the screen on any brightness over like 35%? I keep it almost as low as I can on MIUI, sometimes a little higher if I'm in a bright room but never above 50%. That might be your problem. Brightness changes between 50/60% and 100% are hardly noticable unless you're in direct sunlight or something, at least in my experience.
[Fascinate General] Nemeth27:
I agree with sagadieu. I have mine on the lowest brightness (11% I think) whenever I'm indoors. It's plenty bright. If you go outside just touch the far right of the notification bar to give you 100%.

[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
The 1.44 option is there because some people want to overclock as high as possible, but some phones won't run at 1500mhz stable. They want more than 1400 but can't hit 1500 so glitch added 1440 after doing some testing on which mhz between 1400 and 1500 is the best.

And you can undervolt to get rid of the extra power usage.

The battery on my Fascinate really sucks. Do I just need a new battery?

I'm not using the phone a whole lot, and yet the battery dies after only after about 10 hours. Screen on for 9% of the time drains the battery 61%? Useless.

If I actually do use the phone for web surfing, watching videos, streaming music, etc, the battery drains at about 40% per hour!

I was going to upload some pics of the battery stats, but the forum won't let me, I guess because I'm too new on these forums. Needless to say it's not pretty.
