[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emaninthenation:
So I was wondering if there was a way to apply the HTCMusic.apk like from the Thunderbolt or DroidInc2 to the Eris. I like how the app can be in Landscape mode because I like using my phone in landscape a lot and hate rotating the phone. So any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pandasaurus:
IIRC, the phones run on different resolutions (Eris is low-res, while DInc and TB are hi-res), so the app would have to be rescaled to work properly on the Eris. It can definitely be done, but it's a lot of work.

there s need a framework from HTC, without this framework HTC apps doesn't works

I'm looking forward for a forum for that device too. There seem to be only "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro", but not the new one "Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
Hey as everyone knows there are some people having LOS and it will remain that way until after a reboot. First I'm rooted but not with a custom kernel. I'm on the stock kernel(just flashed CWM and then root.zip) So I have had LOS a few times since I got my phone. Just a few minutes ago I got LOS after a phone call and it remained that way. AbsolutZeroGI on IRC wanted me to try something whlile I had LOS before I rebooted. I went into the task manager, selected the ram tab and then pressed the clear button. That didnt bring service back but after I did that I did get the roaming notification(but still had LOS) so I plugged my phone into my PC(not to try to fix it but to boot into recovery) and then I noticed my signal came back without a reboot as soon as I plugged in the cable. Now I'm not really sure if/why plugging in the USB would correct this or if it was just a coincidence or if it fixed it. Although I know the other times I had LOS it didnt come back until a reboot no matter how long I waited.. So I would like to run a test..

The next time you get LOS go into the taskmanager, select the ram tab and then click clear, then plug your phone into your PC (Edit: While your screen is off). Did your signal come back or do you still have LOS?

EDIT:

I just got home, was sending a few text messages had a signal, put my phone down, came back and turned on the screen and I had no service. So I came back to my PC to test this out again. When I came back to the PC I had a PM from AbsolutZeroGI. He told me he just got the LOS and the steps didnt work. And so far I've been the only one to get it to come back without a reboot. So I tried again.. I plugged it in and unplugged it multiple times... nothing.. still no service, I tried to remember the exact steps I did the first time and I thought "when I plugged it in and it worked was my screen on or off" So I tried one more time. I turned the screen off, waited a few minutes, had the usb cable plugged into the pc then plugged in the phone. I waited a few more seconds, turned the screen on and boom, I had almost all the bars but no 3G icon and a few seconds later the 3g icon came back on.

So here is my theory: When the screen goes off maybe there is a bug in the sleep process that somehow causes the LOS. When you wake it, whatever it is that disabled it, doesnt re-enable it so it "thinks" it's still sleeping, until it's back in sleep mode and something like plugging in the usb wakes it for usb debugging. So I think it somehow goes into a deep sleep and doesnt fully wake up when the screen goes on, but something like plugging it in fires another separate process that does fully wake it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AbsolutZeroGI:
Thank you in advance for everyone who tests this out for us. If we can find a real method that works every time we can start working on a temporary fix until Sammy gives us a firmware update so LOS won't be so bothersome. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boominz28:
i have not experienced the los, but have experienced very poor signal when trying to connect to the net. but when i rebooted the signal did get better
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
Although I know some people stated that they had this issue on unrooted phones as well as rooted, I myself had the issue with my first Epic Touch after I rooted. Before I rooted, I never experienced the issue.

I exchanged my phone Thursday because there was no way to return to stock at the time and I haven't experienced the LOS of service at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
Hmm maybe I'll install the stock kernel and see of that fixes it. I only had my phone since yesterday and it was rooted after an hour or so of having it and since I've had at least 5 Los. :-( but I have read the same that people claim its happening to them as well without ever rooting
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
I'll definitely try in a few when my los kicks in. Had my first touch for three days and no los occurrences but my new one has had them 5 times in two days.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlr_90:
I've had my phone since launch day. I didn't root until the 20th. I had no LOS in that time I was completely stock. Right after I installed bubby's CWM and root the problems started. I mean the same night. It had happened several times until I went back to the stock kernel. I have since had the LOS for literally 5 seconds while it switched from Sprint to roaming and service was right back. Not a problem since. I'm not saying these other kernels are the complete problem and that the phone is not without bugs. I just think that maybe the other kernels make the problem (if any) worse.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

The other night I had 5 times in two hours. Literally!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Badzuk:
I'm completely stock and picked up my phone on Launch day. I had several LOS during the first few days. I updated my PRL, Profile, Firmware etc. and it hasn't been an issue since.

I do have an issue roaming, as in my phone wont.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
Ok guys, I'm going to update the OP but here is a new development.

I just got home, was sending a few text messages had a signal, put my phone down, came back and turned on the screen and I had no service. So I came back to my PC to test this out again. When I came back to the PC I had a PM from AbsolutZeroGI. He told me he just got the LOS and the steps didnt work. And so far I've been the only one to get it to come back without a reboot.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
I saw that theory from someone else around here as well. Definitely seems like something is going to sleep and not coming back on and the modified kernels seem to exacerbate the issue for some reason. (Maybe the source Samsung released is older than what the phone shipped with and the issue was improved between the two versions?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] plmiller0905:
Nothing against the devs or anything like that, but this LOS issue is why I havent rerooted my current Epic Touch.

As much as I want to flash that new

midnight roms, I'm holding back just for that reason.

This message was developed and sent from my SGSII-EPIC 4G TOUCH!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
That wouldn't work, because in reality, the phone checks cell towers for new calls something like every 5-10 seconds. No sleep for the wicked radio.

No. It is definitely something that disables the radio entirely.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 PM ----------

There's no reason not to root the phone now AT ALL.

The current root method of:

1) Install custom recovery+kernel,

2) Flash su binary,

3) Flash stock recovery+kernel

---

The current root method does nothing but add files to /system partition -

you change nothing else in the operation of the phone but add root privileges.

Flashing roms while they are in beta though, that's just asking for trouble, unless you are testing for the rom builder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jirafabo:
I have the LOS icon at this very moment, yet I just received a call? Also, I plugged it into my computer, but nothing changed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dechutes:
Hi all. I just had LOS and tried to use my car charger instead of my computer. It didn't fix the issue but I did notice that the charging led wouldn't illuminate. after reboot the phone gets signal and the led is working fine. I don't know if that is significant but wanted to mention it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spencer88:
Interesting thread. Ive had mine for 3 days now and havent experienced this at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leond:
about 5 times a day when i try to place a call the call get stuck in "dialing" mode and never connects. if I try to end it it is still stuck in the task bar and there is no way to make another call unless I reboot. The signal bars look normal. is this the LOS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] txmikester:
I bought two E4GT's on launch day and I told the lady to just activate them and I would do the rest of the setup. She was messing around with them for awhile and I asked her what was going on, and she said they were doing a system update.

That makes me think that the factory firmware had the bug, but they already had an update at launch. If that is the case, I think there's a good chance the source code released was for the original firmware, which reintroduced the bug into all the custom kernels.

This could also explain why some unrooted users have the los - maybe their Sprint store was too lazy to do the update for them (although they should have got a notice for the ota update by now).

FWIW, neither of our phones have this issue and both are still stock. Baseband version is EG30.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thacounty:
No, but that is major suckage, happens to me once a day. Makes me want to punch babies.

los, which I get too, is when you get the no smoking signal instead of a cdma signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leond:
I went to root+stock kernel and the problem is gone and LOS is gone to
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] craigbailey1986:
There was no update when these phones were released. If she was activating the phone then she was 9/10 referring to a profile update and prl update which each phone does when being activated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clayginn:
I haven't tried this yet but will. Thought I would put this here also.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/76962?start=0&tstart=0

9/29: Shane_M has responded from Sprint with this message:

"The loss of signal issue is an official known issue, Sprint and Samsung are aware of this issue and it will be addressed in a maintenence release. This information is posted on our known issues board and should be accessible by any care or technical support representative you speak with."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
I have noticed that while having perfect signal I can make my phone have LOS. I was also playing with task manager but cleared memory and got LOS. So I rebooted to fix. A while later I did it again, and phone got LOS. My thinking is LoS may be something with memory management. Perhaps android is killing off something it shouldn't. Just a thought...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] frifox:
clearing memory with built-in task manager did gave me LOS but not for long... got service & 3g back automatically within 5 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] the rhyno:
has anyone tried turning off mobile data and then switching it back on...I have the 3D right now but i want this phone bad. If that would fix the issue I would consider it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dulanic:
I've just rolled both of my phones back to stock kernel. I understand root may not be a cause, but it is a contributor. My wife's phone had LOS once in 2 weeks on stock. I rooted hers and it has had LOS 5 times in 1 day. Mine had LOS 0 times before root and now it has LOS all the time. I rolled it back to stock and now 2 days without LOS.

Fortunately, for now I only needed root for titanium which I already restored my apps so I can remove it w/o a problem. I want root I love root but until Sprint fixes this crap, I have no choice as I use this phone for business uses.

Again, I understand root isn't the "cause" but it has a effect on it. But there is 0 doubt in my mind based on 2 weeks of experience that it does cause it to happen more. Why, I have no idea. Is SU causing a conflict /w a bug samsung has? Or something else? No idea :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
had my first LOS overnight. Woke up to no signal. Rooted with modded stock kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
While there is a problem with signal on this phone and LOS being on a custom kernel makes it worse. All the people are saying that going back to stock kernel fixed their LOS. I've had the phone since launch and no LOS at all and I am on stock kernel.

Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
nah, my coworker isnt rooted and it happens to hers all the time. I think most of us are rooted which leads us to believe that its only rooted users. It happens to my coworker and my brother and they are both stock. Sprint and Samsung stated earlier in a response to one of the members here that they are aware of the issue and it will be addressed in the next software update

also, heres a quote from the other thread. this guy is a sprint store manager
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
I can also say that I think the kernel makes it worse. When I had the first version of CWM installed that bubby released I would get 4 to 5 LOS everyday. After I flashed back to 100% stock kernel(losing CWM) I have not had a single LOS yet.. wait, that's a lie. I think I had one and that was the same day I flashed the stock kernel back, It hasnt happened since. I know sprint said they found a problem and found it through people posting logs and they will address it in the first update. But I do think that the kernel makes it worse and in MY case caused the LOS. I think it could be a combo of two things. The bug that sprint found and the kernel. So people say it's an issue with some phones, others say all, some say it's the kernel, others say it's not. I cant speak for others but I know there is not a single doubt in my mind thet the first kernel/cwm I had did cause my issue. But that's just my experience. There could be other factors that are causing other people's LOS.

LOS Oddity

I have noticed a couple times but not everytime while I have a LOS of service on my ET I have received a text message. I have not been able to send one back or do anything else network related to it. It doesn't always come through but it has on a couple different occasions. I have the phone rooted but with stock rom.

I also noticed it was cutting out before root just a lot less often. And it was getting LOS more frequently the longer I had it.

does anyone know if a Hard Reset fixes the issue temporarily?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Familiar Joe:
QFT exactly the same situation for me ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweets55:
LOS looks like this and it's not cause the battery was low. I did the MSL activation thing and haven't had a LOS for two days. Also when back to stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] sidepart:
I know it's been a pretty common issue for rooted EVO 3D users to get an error 16 while roaming, which requires them to call Sprint and go through some rigmarole to get the phone working again.

I seem to be having a different (although similar) issue. I have no issues making calls, or with data while I'm on the Sprint network. But now that I'm roaming off of a nearby Verizon tower out here in the middle of no-where, I'm having issues. I try to place a call, and immediately the phone sounds a disconnection beep and that's it. I also do not have data.

About 45 days ago up here I received a message about not being authenticated (the error 16), but I was told that they couldn't fix this without me bringing my phone into the store. I just reset the phone and did hands free activation again, and avoided the store. I haven't noticed any issues after that, and I do go in and out of roaming areas sometimes while in the city.

I just tried to do a chat with Sprint. I specifically said I had an error 16 and needed an HRL refresh (I lied). The rep had me power off my phone while she attempted to send it a signal. After this she had me dial *2 and my phone process crashed while I tried this. I also still couldn't call out. She tried having me power off again. Same problem. Next she told me to power off my phone and keep it off for 30 mins. If it wasn't fixed by then, she gave me a support number to call.

Anyway, not sure if the support number will help. Figured I'd just see if anyone has had a similar issue or experience. I found another thread mention resetting through ##786# and using your MSL to get into it. My EPST process seems to crash when I try this. ##DATA# doesn't crash though...hm.

I'm running the Synergy 3Dvo Rom (Nightly 344 I think?). Stock kernel.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] SHildebrandt:
I'm currently a Dell Streak user..... I'm happy with it, even at "2G" speeds on T-Mobile (which is actually FASTER than aTnT's "3G" network at almost half the price). My question is this: Is it possible / practical to use the Viewpad 7 as a phone without a headset? I don't care how it might look to others, as I've never been inhibited by other's opinions..... Thanks!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
I used ATT's prepaid Gophone Sim with the 30 days rollover in our Vpad7 so we get 2G access "on the go" when we don't have wifi access. As such, I've only used it once or twice for a quick phone call with the wired stereo handset & to set up Google Voice - the sound coming out of the small / tiny speaker is just 0.5W - making it impractical to use except in quiet, indoor & stationary environment. There is a small mic on the buttom - but, the Vpad7 will work nicer & easier paired with a Bluetooth headset which is what I would recommend. Being unlocked, quad-band - it should be fine with T-Mo Sim.

The audio is excellent with a noise-cancelling stereo (wired) headset (Brookstone branded.)

It is labeled as a "large screen smartphone" except that it's kind of awkward holding it for a conversation, even for my large hand .... LOL
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] SHildebrandt:
Thanks, LetIt..... I think I may give the ViewPad 7 a try because my Streak is starting to show its age / behave strangely.... I saw a VP7 at CompUSA last month for $225, but now I see they've gone back up to $279..... Any recommendation on where I can get one for a decent price? Thanks again
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Wow, that price was practically a steal - got mine this July from Tigerdirect - $269 + free shipping, brand new in retail box & no sales tax collected. There's an eBay seller doing it for $250 & free shipping, worth checking it out & being the lowest price that I know of - been doing a bit of comparison & in-store comparison before.

It's on wifi mostly and very light - moderate use of prepaid 2G data from AT&T - ownership costs to keep as minimal. Supposed to get 3G speed with regular postpaid/contract Sim card from big A.

It's sold on a worldwide basis - and, the new Vpad7 x is coming soon (already released in oversea market - Japan ?) with faster dual core 1 Ghz CPU, better specs & Honeycomb, supporting Flash 10.0 (but not for the current ones) - expected to be selling at the $300 - $400 level & COULD drop the price of the existing Vpad7 more - so, wait-and-see / Black Friday or just ....

BTW, battery life is fairly good - could play Angry Birds for several hours when fully charged - more than enough to be "occupied" for a transcon. nonstop flight in airplane mode. Overall, I'm a happy camper with this cute device - waiting for a cooked GingerBread ROM soon, like others to unlock its fullest "potential"

Cheers !

I'm use it for telephone call (2g) sine I bought it last year.

It's ok. Help me organize everything that pass trough my phone.

Mail message picture video and everything. Godddd I love it.

Sorry for my weak english.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] SHildebrandt:
Thanks again everyone for your input. I did some research on the Viewpad 7x..... looks like a sweet device, and I agree that once it's released, it should drive down the prices of existing Vpad7s further.... however, none of the VP7x reviews I've read mention anything about telephone capability..... in fact, the initial VP7x versions appear to be wi-fi only, with HSPA coming at some future time, and even then, it's only mentioned in the content of internet connectivity, not for making phone calls... I MUST have the phone function, so maybe I'll just hope its release will still drive down the older VP7's price, so I can get one for a song ;)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VolcanicSkunk:
My fiancee is about to get her upgrade and because she wants a physical keyboard, my first thought was an Evo Shift. I wanted to get the input of the community here and see what you guys like/dislike about the phone. I'm looking for opinions about it stock and rooted. And if you guys would rather have had the Epic instead of the Evo. I really appreciate any info you guys give me.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Definately go with the Shift. Good support Stock or Rooted. Althought I would suggest rooting it, way more options. I 'm not saying the Epic is a bad device. It's just IMO you can do a lot more with the Shift. Also, if you do decide to root. It's a fairly simple process. You have a bunch of different roms to choose from. When the Source Code Kernel Gets released it can be overclocked. Althought honestly a lot of the Shifts appeal is that even stock it's an incrediable device. Quick, stable, and great for everday use whether business or personal. I've had both the Shift and the Epic. Hands down I would choose the Shift everytime.
