[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
Well, i guess if you were freezing programs, maybe something got frozen that was related to updating. The USB issue i have had in the past, and that has always been fixed by a reflash for me. The time not updating, I have had that as well, and for me it was related to Juice Defender and my data settings. I am not sure how much flashing you do, but I have noticed that if I have flashed a few ROMS/Themes/Kernels, over the course of a few days (especially going back and forth from Froyo to GB) I will start getting all kinds of weird issues happening. Usually when that happens, I will back up my SD card, wipe it and reformat it, Odin back to stock EC05, and start the whole process over again with re-rooting. Sorry if this was not much help. Just trying to give my experience, albeit limited!

And I forgot the texts not sending or receiving has been issues with clearing L1/L2 memory from task manager...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedtyyyme:
No, I appreciate it. I have been flashing a lot lately. I have never re-formatted my SD card, but I am sure I could figure out how to do that. I was thinking it was the ROM I had, but then I flashed a different ROM and it still did it. I will go about reformatting my SD card and let you know how that goes. Thanks for the info man.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
Hey, no problem. To reformat the SD card, what I have done, is just copy the whole card to me PC, then go into CWM and there is formatting options in the mount and storage section if i remember correctly. then, i will just copy back the apk's and pics, music, etc...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedtyyyme:
I have 2 questions.

1) When you reformat your SD card, did that solve your problems?

2) I went into task manager and didn't see L1 or L2 RAM. Where do I look?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamdelozier:
1) fixes some problems, definitely increased stability, if you do a lot of deleting, adding, moving, etc..

2) in task manager click on the RAM manger tab. But seeing as Android managers memory on its own, clearing L1 and L2 RAM is useless and only causes problems (sending and receiving texts) in my opinion.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedtyyyme:
I am formatting as we speak.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMF80:
Do you know what aspect of a fragmented sd card wld cause those issues. I've had the clock issue using fancy widgets and cldnt find the cause. Is that something than can be rectified without formatting my card. Where and what are diff roms putting on the external sd card besides the android secure folder. Sorry I'm pretty ignorant re: flash media fragmentation. Doesn't make sense to me brains.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedtyyyme:
adamdelozier, thank you very much man. Seemed to have fixed my problem...... Been running it all day after the format and everything is working great. Once again, thank you very much.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lekhwani:
Guys I have ordered a new at&t unlocked Samsung focus from Ebay India at $ 300. Phone will be arriving in about five days time.

What do you think about the price considering the specs and the upcoming mango update? Will I be able to update in India?

One more question: in Android we have audio effects in gingerbread. Do we have some audio effects like thing in windows 7 which works on videos as well?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesikpuppy:
It's easy to upgrade to mango RTM. Lots of info in these forums even if you can't upgrade "officially". As far as the price goes I really have no idea about unlocked phone costs in India. I got mine for $200 on ebay but it's locked to at&t.

Focus is a great phone, you'll love it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
As for me it's pricy. Recently I've bought used Focus (but in perfect shape, like a brand new, screen without any scratches) on ebay for $160 shipped (for India it will be plus $20-25). Also, you may unlock it for additional $20-30 (search forum). So, the right price should be about $200.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgdelhi:
Unlocking it is available at US$ 0.99 on ebay.com
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Yeah, right (I've got unlock code for free from AT&T; so I didn't follow corresponding topic).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lekhwani:
Well, I think $200 is when you have subscribed to at&t plan. When you buy something with a plan contract, the price of the phone is subsidized from the future inflows to the company under the contract plan.

You really got a very good deal. But if we buy something directly from US, we have to pay customs as well. Well I took the decision when I saw Dell venue pro is selling for $550 in India. Moreover, may be, I will be getting a gift phone worth $35 with this deal. In this situation my cost comes down to $265, which is less than half of Dell venue pro price in India.

Andy is releasing his rom and u are moving from O1 ? :O

Jokes apart, that is a good deal if you are in india ... I got my unlocked focus for 220 new but I am in the US ...

You can upgrade to Mango 7720 RTM ... no issues ... lots of threads are available for instructions ... I was able to go all the way from 7004 to 7720 in a few hours ...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lekhwani:
Lol! I just bought this to play with windows phone 7. Currently have no plans of selling o1.

CM7 on o1 is pretty good and I hope Andy will be a kickass ROM too. I just love GB audio effects, multi tasking, among other numerous features in Android.

Hope to have first hand experience and comparison between Android and wp7/mango.

Btw, it seems you too have both o1 and focus. I would like to ask a few questions:

1.What is your take on windows 7/ Mango and Android?

2.Audio and audio effects in both OS.

3.Multi tasking?

4. Is Swype keyboard available in mango?

5. Any other thing you would like to point out.
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
Anyone considered theming the stock messaging app? Its actually not that different from wp7 messages app except the colors. Would quite like to see this happen, I love the black background. Seems it would only take editing a few Res files, tho more than I know how to do.

A usb hub with power jack and switch (to switch power from usb or power jack) is ready i have made it. Now I will make a power pack so that I can charge my phone from it and also to power my usb hub. I think that will be enough to supply power to a portable HDD. Don't have time too busy. But will let u know dear when I am do. Thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brad003:
Anyone else having issues typing with their phones? Like pressing the letter "p" on one side of the keyboard and then the microphone icon comes up to record as it was pressed. Very frustrating.

My camera will lag and take pics very slow and delayed... I'm thinking of taking this thing back. Any advice or fixes available?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cdf3:
I'm using Thumb Keyboard. It allows me to change the keyboard layout. I also moved the mic to the number keypad and replaced it with a comma, since I use commas more often.

For faster pics, you can try taking them in Sports Mode and see if that helps.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brad003:
It's not about the key locations, it has to do with an input issue. When pressing one letter it will detect another on the other side of the keyboard. Not sure if I should unroot and see if it fixes...

I'm going to do a little more research today.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mataco:
I don't know about this, but sometimes when I hit my screen it will register my fingers position in a different location, just requires me to wipe the screen off a bit. Good luck with your research, I hope it's an easy fix

Boots into recovery every time. Tried cwm restore to earlier backup with no luck
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
reflashed gtabcomb. still boots to recevoery. does this mean nvflash time?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Try wiping the "misc" partition while in CWM: Boot the gTab into recovery mode, connect the USB cable to it and run adb on the PC:

C:\> [B]adb shell erase_image misc[/B]

(You may have to wipe the "bootbmp" partition, instead, on some gTabs, because those 2 partitions have switched places on them.)

Edit: Or, use the attached zip file to erase "misc". Just "install" the zip file as usual using CWM.

Edit2: As to why this "always boots into recovery" happens, see this post.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
already reflashed. but will try that next time! thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johny.mnemonic:
rajeevvp your are magical man!

Everytime I get in trouble I search for a solution and find, that you already solved it :-D

Same here.

After moving to BL 1.2 I used "reboot recovery" in advanced menu of CWM and got into boot loop.

I tried nvflashing new boot.img and also recovery.img, but in vain.

Erasing misc partition magically helped ;-)

THANKS!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
It isn't magic--just details gleaned from reading the CWM code. If it were magic, it would be mysterious, and therefore, less interesting, wouldn't it?

The misc partition is used for communication between the ROM/kernel, the bootloader, and CWM; and if the tablet is going into recovery mode everytime, then logically, wiping misc should fix things. However, I couldn't test this scenario on my gTab because of my switched misc/bootbmp partitions: if I select "Reboot Recovery", CWM would just erase my (first) boot splash screen instead of going into a boot loop.

The various other versions of CWM have these minor sorts of bugs and irritations. The recently posted CWM-4.0.1.5 is the least annoying and it is what I will be using from now on. It a) understands my switched misc/bootbmp partition, b) "Reboots Recovery" w/o boot loops, and c) does USB mounts correctly.

Thanks for telling me that the technique worked. I've suggested it on other threads, but, this is the first time a user has told me that it fixed their problem. Most often users will just use nvflash--unnecessarily, and superstitiously--instead of waiting for the correct solution.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Revyloution:
Im having the same problem, stuck in Clockwork. I dont see any option to 'wipe Misc partition. I also can't find a command line where I could enter the command 'C:\> adb shell erase_image misc'.

How do I wipe out that partition from Clockwork?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raywaldo:
adb quick install

This is FANTASTIC! It absolutely fixes the CWM loop - and it is simple! (Once you have ADB working on your computer.)

I thought that I had read somewhere (but I cannot find it now) that you only needed ADB and FASTBOOT to run simple ADB commands. Is there a SIMPLE install for ADB? For Windows & for Linux. That would be even more fantastic! :D

I would like to provide that to my readers who accidentally do the "reboot to recovery" when them really mean "reboot system now." That simple error is what causes the CWM loop.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
FASTBOOT does not apply to the gTab which uses a different, and proprietary, bootloader. To run ADB commands you just need the adb binary and its (standard) libraries.

As I mentioned above, on Linux, you just need the adb binary. You don't have to install the entire Android SDK. I don't use Windows, so I don't know much about ADB there, but, I suspect that even there you would only need the exe file, its libraries and the Google/VS(?) USB driver.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
EDIT: adb installed, but not configured with the USB driver before stuck in my CWM bootloop and adb never recognizes the tablet, whether its in cwm, mounted or in apx mode. does anyone have any suggestions?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
i think i need to nvflash. unabvle to get drivers installed since my device wont boot, so cant configure adb to work correctly
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldfirex:
Im running into this as well. I got the Android SDK installed but ADB says that no devices are attached. Windows recognizes the Tegra 2 device when its mounted fine. It appears to be using the microsoft driver though. I attempted to change to the "android_winusb.inf" driver, but it wouldnt let me install/change it. I am running Windows 7 64bit if that matters in regards to the driver.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Try nvflash if you're having problems with adb.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldfirex:
Thanks. nvflash says no usb device found though. I tried it with and without 'mount usb storage'.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:

I could really use a little more direction on this... I've finally gained access to mt tablet bymounting the USB storage command in CWM. I have this zip file on my desktop, not sure what to do from there...

Pleaase help!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggerDave:
Mount usb storage in CWM just like you said.

On PC - go to the .zip file you downloaded and copy it to the tablet. That will put it on the internal SD card. Unmount the tablet from the pc, stop usb storage on the tablet and unplug the usb cable.

On Tablet - CWM main menu > Install .zip from sdcard > Choose .zip from sdcard > select the .zip you copied from the PC > reboot system after it finishes.

Hey, rajeevvp.

Thank you for this.

I have often use Quick Boot as a way to reboot or to get to cwm recovery.

I don't recall every having any issues with it. But this last time, it sent me into a recovery kernel loop - the same you get if you accidentally touch the reboot recovery.

I couldn't get out of it, even after trying to flash part9.img.

I found your updater-script that deleted the "misc" and got me back without having to wipe and nvflash the whole thing as I have done in the past.

Thanks again, man.

Just boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvic, then reflash the rom that you are running. LatinIME might have lost something during your attempt to fix thing, but that should get everything back the way it was without loosing you data.

How to Create a Nandroid backup

Your Bionic needs to be rooted!

You need to download and Install the Bionic Bootstrap.

http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-09-16/bionic_bootstrap_recovery

Go into your applications and open “Bionic Bootstrap.”

Click on Bootstrap Recovery

You will see “Success!” tap OK

Now hit “Reboot Recovery.”

Your phone will boot into CWM-base Recovery (Volume is equal to UP and DOWN and Power is equal to Select/Enter/Ok/"DO IT, DO IT NOW")

Using your volume up/down keys, scroll down to “backup and restore” and press the power button.

Highlight "Backup" and press the power button button and the backup will begin.

Once complete highlight “reboot system now” and press the power button to reboot.

You have just created your first nandroid backup!

***Should you ever need to restore to this backup, simply boot into recovery like you just did, scroll down to “backup and restore” and this time highlight “restore” instead of “backup” and find your back up to restore.***

WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE IS YOUR FAULT! :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jamezr:
Awesome work! Thank you! We can now do backup and restore!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JimmyHACK:
Seeing that this is bootstrap recovery... how can you restore these backups if you can't get into android... like stuck in bootloop etc?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theproj:
Someone please correct me if I am wrong but if you are stuck in a boot loop you would have to return yourself to stock, root, install Bionic Bootstrap and then restore
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JimmyHACK:
going to try that right now, i'm not 100% where the nandroid stored, too, we will see if its sd card or on internal once i restore to stock, will let you know.

Edit: im stuck at Dual Core logo, won't even start to boot android, guess I will go home in a lil bit and run the fast boot restore system files.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theproj:
Should be under sdcard-ext\clockworkmod\backup

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Sounds like you need to return to stock like I posted above. What did you do that got you in a bootloop? Just so that I dont do it to myself. :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JimmyHACK:
I tried the modified android.policy.jar from adrynylene to be able to use volume buttons to wake the phone. It hasn't been tested, followed directions exactly, so yeah got a backup at least.

My first time dealing with this locked bootloader mess too, not as easy breasy as other phones with custom recoveries, but better than nothing... (a guide for us new to locked bootloader recoveries and restoring nandroid could be an idea for this thread?) :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theproj:
I would agree that will be a good idea. If you figure it out write one up or let me know how and I will write it up and link it in. I would like to learn some more of the technical/advanced side of things.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mzimand:
Have you tried to restore your Nandroid Backup that you made through CWM?

You should be able to do a battery pull and then boot into recovery holding volume down and power on. Then restore your back-up through CWM
[Motorola Droid Bionic] theproj:
he is stuck in a loop so he will have to restore to stock, root, and then nandroid restore. I believe he will be the first to restore lol.

I believe this is because of the locked bootloader and the requirement of Bootstrap to be launched and have it write instructions to boot into recovery on reboot.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] JimmyHACK:
Being a bootstrapped CWM, you cannot cold boot into CWM, only stock recovery, so cant restore.... have to get into android and run the bootstrap to reboot into CWM so far what i have seen.. unless you know a way to cold boot into CWM, which would be awesome but I don't think these locked bootloader devices do it.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
The 2nd init recovery being worked on by Hashcode is better than the bootstrap recovery in a couple critical ways. One being that the way its triggered in the boot menu allows you to access it even from a bootlooping phone. This is an obvious advantage if something unexpected happens.

Second, it makes a more complete backup including the boot.img.

In most cases, because we have a locked bootloader and we cannot run an unsigned boot.img this isn't important, but that may change.

The 2nd init version is not ready quite yet though and both provide the critical ability to backup and restore a nandroid. I have been using this version since he first created it and think it shows promise because of the boot menu trigger innovation.

More options makes for a healthier development community IMO!
