[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lspdv1991:
My milestone was experiencing phantom touches so I had to get the touchpad replaced. Made my pockets a whole lot lighter. Within a week, I started having a really weird problem.

I could see the screen underneath but there was no backlight. And the battery was really hot. So i took out the battery and left it like that coz I got busy with college and all.

But after i took it to the service center, the guy put in a new battery and it seemed fine. He told me it was a battery issue and i bought a new battery. That was yesterday. Today morning i wake up and the issue with the backlight is back.

What do I do??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] lspdv1991:
Now the screen has gone completely black. I have a hunch that the battery has completely run out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] spudsmac:
So I know a lot of you hate any Apple product and I'm with you for the most part, but I'm starting to thing that maybe the iPhone 5 might be a good deal.

I have the Droid X and it's cool and all, but I'm getting tired of having to do soft resets multiple times throughout the day just to keep it at a bearable speed, and the screen not responding to touch and having to cycle the screen on and off to get it to work, and just bugs in general.

I have had the Blackberry Curve :barf:, VZW TP2 (I liked it, except for it being slow), and now DX. I get tired of having to do full SBF reloads every 2 months to keep it speedy and the screen thing is getting to me along with the bugs (like android music player trying to play music half the time when I hook up a 3.5mm cord to it).

I'm looking for a dual core LTE phone that I won't have to crack and hack and load custom roms to get rid of many bugs and expand functionally. I just kind of get tired of it. I used to work in IT, but now I'm a flight instructor full time and have to use a lot of aviation apps for weather, flight plans, etc. I'm hesitant to jump to the iPhone 5, but I just get tired of the lack of support and updates from VZW for the X. I feel that with the iPhone being so prevalent and with such a following that Apple might provide better support since they don't have to keep track of so many platforms like Moto, HTC, Samsung, etc.

Even if they don't have a LTE iPhone 5, I might be ok with that. I am fairly happy with my X overall, but I feel like I have outgrown it.

Any thoughts on the matter? I'm not posting this on the sister site, because I know how hardcore and unwavering some of those kooks are. (Xtra-normal iPhone 4 video comes to mind).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
If you're past flashing, then I'd say do it. However, don't count on the 5 having LTE. I guarantee you it won't have it. Apple will wait 6 months to a year before they add it. It's too 'new' for Apple to put in their phones. Expect a quasi 5 upgrade around summer (at best) to have 4g.

Having said that, I do agree with you on the updates and support. Plus the app store has a very stringent approval process - so you can expect the apps to be bug free for the most part.

Regardless of all that, I'll stick with my bionic. Very impressed. I haven't even considered tweaking it much because I'm so blown away with it out of the box. I'm a crack flasher (back to my OG Droid) so this is big for me.

Best of luck.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
^^^ Everything he said and more. Apple is not guaranteed to have any 4g, let alone LTE. That and all the work that is currently going into custom ROMs for bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rumblee1:
I for one am a big mac fan. Between my wife, 2kids and me, we have 2imacs, 3 macbooks, and a macbook pro. But for smartphones its android for me. Much more customizable. And a user replaceable battery. Just think, if mr. Jobs had not given at&t exclusivity for so long, android may not have gotten off the ground.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
i've never had an iPhone, but i did just move from a Droid X to the Bionic, so i can compare the differences there...

Bionic is noticeably faster than the Droid X when starting apps, moving through menu settings, etc.

i am torn over the loss of hard keys on the Bionic - while i definitely prefer soft keys over hard keys, there are two disadvantages that bug me:

(1) false alarms (i.e., i occasionally hit one of the soft keys by accident which interrupts whatever i'm doing)

(2) can only use the power button to wake up the Bionic (home key also works on Droid X)

4gLTE is ridiculously fast but highly geographically dependent. i live in a full 4g area. typical downloads 1 mile from my house are 20,000 kbps. at my house, i get maybe 1,200 kbps (vs. around 600 kbps in 3g).

Battery life on Bionic is almost as good as Droid X with similar usage/apps in 3g mode. turning 4g on definitely uses more battery, but it is easy to turn on/off.

i like the Bionic screen, no idea what folks are complaining about :)

as for bugs, the Bionic has a few:

(1) Phone occasionally locks up solid and requires a battery pull to get it going again. this is affectionately referred to as the black (or maybe it's Bionic) screen of death - BSOD. this has happened to me 4 times in two weeks.

(2) the phone appears to have some difficulty holding a 4g signal over extended periods (but this may have more to do with the signal in my area than the phone itself).

but my Droid X has a few bugs too:

(1) phone always turns itself on after power down (started with Gingerbread)

(2) phone reboots itself typically once daily

(3) screen backlight "flickers" when paging through menus (this started with Gingerbread and actually annoys me more than the first two issues)

bottom line, i am very happy with the Bionic, can't see myself going back to the Droid X (even though i still love that phone), but i will definitely pay close attention to the BSOD.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
Just thought that I would let you know that you are comming from a droid X.

Switiching over to IOS isn't going to be much of a step forward but rather a step back for you.

I say that because of what you wrote. You said you feel as if you've out grown it.

The BIONIC would be great for you because of that, but switching over to IOS is going to leave you in regret.

"I was wondering the desert and didn't have my Droid, but rather an Iphone 4. I spent those months wishing I had that instead. I felt limited, but as soon as I got my hands on my Droid again, I became whole. I felt like there was nothing I couldn't do."

Those were the words of one of my co-workers. I was a BB user at the time and thought he was nuts.

He was... but I could understand that feeling of power he got when weilding an android phone today.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mikedick:
I'd go bionic also, but only because i'm biased, and wont come off Android.

Having had the phone for 3 days now, i'm definitely impressed. It was worth every bit to trade my Evo3D in and grab a Bionic. Even the interface is nice.

Never had an Iphone, and never really thought about getting one. Few of these guys above have given great points as to why you should get the Bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] spudsmac:
Thanks for all the replies. I REALLY want LTE and live in Phoenix, where they have good coverage. I guess I'll wait till Apple announces the specs and make my decision then. I imagine that worse case scenario, if I get the 5 and don't like it, I can probably sell it on eBay and get a Bionic with the money. I do like how much you can customize android devices though.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Good idea, but I promise you - no LTE this round.

If I'm wrong (we'll find out Oct. 5th) then I'll eat crow... ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dxun:
Think I'm in pretty big trouble. 1st time I got myself in a jam cause I was under the impression I knew it all. Anyway... Made a backup 1st via Rom Manager. Downloaded Rom and proceeded to boot phone to recovery. Now what I should have done from here is make sure both the backup and ROM were there once I got back into recovery, but I didn't. I then proceeded to format system as per the instructions which was immediately followed by a full wipe. At that point I figured it was go time. I was mistaken. The Rom was not there to be installed. I'm guessing I placed it on the wrong section of my sd card?

At this point I figured no big deal I'll just restore my stock backup. That also is nowhere to be found. At this point I rebooted the phone and I'm in the stock recovery. Is there anything I can do to fix this mess I created?

So at this point I put the SD card back in my Tbolt and placed the Rom on the SD card. Booted Bionic to recovery and it's there but unable to flash. Is there a way to boot to clockwork recovery from the off state?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dubsx:
Read the thread in this forum "[GUIDE]Return to stock using FXZ..." it will take you back in factory state...you'll have to re-root after. Had to do this this morning when i had boot loops after flashing a mod. Saved my life.

Superoneclick keeps hanging at step#6 and won't respond.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
this is well known. stop being a newbie and read a little.

you need to pre root the Rom or root with a custom kernel. all thw custom kernels on the board have root scripts in initramfs. take your pick and flash in odin by pulling the zimage from the update package of your favorite kernel and achiving it as a .tar.

you can also pre root the Rom by putting super user in the /system/app folder and su binaries in the xbin folder using magic iso before you flash the package.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Leon_A:
If I understood correctly, I should be able to open factoryfs.rfs with MagicISO, modify it (add Superuser.apk/su ) and pack it back to the tar. Then the tar is still flashable with Odin and root is done? Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Yamaha750:
People need to quit being ASSHATS on this board

People need to stop assuming others can't, don't, won't search for answers before posting. "Read a little" Seriuosly??

I spent 2 friggin hours between these boards and google searching for help before posting this. The few workarounds I found did not work for me and a lot of the posts did not have answers, just comments.

Perhaps I used the wrong search terms or looked in the wrong places, but I am darn sick of seeing people assume some of us newbs don't try to help ourselves before posting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
It's impossible for us to know how much work you did before you posted if you don't tell us though. Not defending the rude behavior, because there's far too much of it across the Internet, but I had no way of knowing that from your first post, so I have to assume you didn't do that research. Maybe if you in your OP had outlined all the things you tried and all the research you had done, the response might be different. We do automatically assume that the research hasn't been done, because the vast majority of people simply don't do it. That is evidenced in their threads and posts, because again we simply have no way of knowing anything about you that you don't explicitly put into text. With that said, I haven't encountered the issue that you're having, so unfortunately I can't speak to how to fix it for you. I am using the latest CM7 which has that baked in already.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] -Kevlar-:
its mentioned in the first two pages of the thread.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Yamaha750:
Which thread are you referring to?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bandit_Kaine:
I tried adding the su binary and superuser.apk to factoryfs.rfs and re-tarred the files, flashed in odin succesfully but the phone keeps rebooting after the AT&T rethink possible boot logo.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Yamaha750:
Mine did this twice when I originally flashed it, and I had not altered anything in the files.

I uses Gtg's ultimate unbrick to go back to stock and then it went thru fine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Leon_A:
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was about to try it...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
You can also after sucessfully flashin 2.3.5 odin a CWM conpatable kernel and then sgs back to stock and root will stick.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bandit_Kaine:
Yes this worked for also. I odin-ed infusion kernel, then odin-ed the stock kernel. Root was still there and i had the stock kernel in place, only downside is the rom itself is still a bit buggy and laggy and the rainbows at boot, along with no recovery after flashing the stock kernel.

Had to odin back to stock to flash custom roms again.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
once you have root get sgs kernel flasher and keep a custom kernel backed up.

also entropy has a new kernel that should fix wifi on this. it should only leave the hdmi inoperative. just fyi.

I thought the ki3 build was very good and smooth before I deodexed it which didn't work out as well as I hoped. not a daily driver but maybe with the new entropy kernel who knows.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
MIGHT fix wifi - need some testing. I'm testing UXKG3 backwards compatibility at the moment.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sevs753:
To start, i have CM7 n176 installed on my Nook Color.

I like it so far but one thing I noticed is the lack of a "proper" rotation lock. I put proper in quotes because i am aware of the rotation lock that android has. The problem I have is that while I'm in landscape mode and want to lock it in landscape, i have to completely disable rotation to portrait in the menus. The rotation lock that android has (i have added it to the notification bar) automatically rotates back to portrait when enabled. Is there anyway to make the rotation lock in the notification bar function like the rotation lock on the iPad?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeramyEggs:
Could check out my thread on the agile lock free mod in themes. It will take you to my Dinc thread, and it has rotation in the menu.

can any one help how can i fix wifi error on eve 3d coma
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
wifi issues are a boot image thing. [hint: flash a kernel]
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Try flashing a different rom or use your Nano if you have one backed up.
[HTC EVO 3D] Worm1996:
what kernel will i flash?
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Well what ROM are you using and what Android version do you have?
[HTC EVO 3D] Worm1996:
android 2.3.3, htc kernel i have just rooted my phone
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
You can try flashing the Stock kernel here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197898

If that doesn't work you can try flashing Synergy which is 2.3.4 here (this comes with a 2.3.4 kernel and the latest build of android):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193948

If your flashing synergy then make sure you factory reset and wipe the Cache Partiton and Dalvik Cache in recovery.

Same with the stock kernel, except you dont need to factory reset for kernels.
[HTC EVO 3D] Worm1996:
thanks for the link i will try it today
[HTC EVO 3D] Worm1996:
can i use revolutionary recovery on this?
[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
Yeah you can use Revolutionary Clock work mod recovery. I been using that ever since I got root with no problems at all.

Sense 3.5 is the popular thing now, but all are still in beta with different bugs.
[HTC Sensation] kiera2:
I'm trying to use my new Sensation with the SIM from my Japanese iPhone, which requires replacing the stock Mms.apk with one that works with Softbank. That much I managed to do. Now when I try to open the Messaging app it crashes immediately, which is apparently normal and means I need to delete the old Mms.odex. But when I try, the command prompt window tells me:

rm failed for /system/app/Mms.odex, No such file or directory

I've made sure the folder isn't read-only (I managed to copy the new Mms.apk to it after all). Not sure what else could be going wrong. Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Its not a good idea to push files into the system directory of an odexed ROM like that. You usually need to push the appropriate .odex file with the .apk file.

Also could be a permissions problem. You need to make sure the permissions for the new file the are same as what's already in the directory.

Sent from my Sensation using Cyanogenmod
[HTC Sensation] kiera2:
I know it's not ideal, but this method seems to work just fine; I've read a bunch of Japanese blogs that explain this is how to get MMS working with Softbank, and people on forums elsewhere say it's worked for them.

How do I do that? I'm pretty new to all this, two days ago I was Googling where to find my Sensation's settings menu :P
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
If you want to ensure the mms.apk has correct permissions you can simply run:

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/mms.apk

This will set the correct permissions for apps in the /system/app folder, although its worth reading up on linux permissions to understand what the command is actually doing.
[HTC Sensation] kiera2:
Permissions didn't help, but I've managed to track down another Mms.apk file that works well enough - messages don't integrate properly with HTC's Messaging app, but I can send and receive MMS. I'm going to keep looking for a better apk but at least this one functions!
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
I've tried lots of stuff, I factory reset and cleared all caches.. and reflashed my rom used supercharger (which doesn't stick) nothing works -.- I'm on EH17 Urban Vendetta rom. Any ideas to fix?
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
Also a google services frameworks error as well
[Epic 4G General] corythug:
Had this problem a hundred thousand times before I enabled journaling. I forget exactly what I did. What I cleared exactly. But I think on mine I cleared cache of contacts in titanium. And then google services framework. Sorry I can't be more help but that's roughly how I fixed it. Don't worry to much, it's very annoying but it is fixable. And also when you do get it sorted flash journaling on zip. Fyi I found all the info I needed with a few google searches.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
You basically have two options, you can Odin and start again or wipe everything 3x and re-flash the ROM. once it boots, you can power down, wipe everything 3x and restore a nandroid backup. Some people have had success wiping app data then booting to recovery and wiping cache and Dalvik. That works sometimes but the other two methods will eliminate the error. Make sure you are running journal on for stability
[Epic 4G General] corythug:
I reflashed and wiped the first few times that happened. After that I got away with clearing contacts and google service. So 3 options :) atleast in my experience.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Are you restoring data? It may be corrupted. Restore an older backup after all the wipes or best yet don't restore anything and download your apps fresh from the market and don't forget to enable journaling.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
I had this problem span over to good nands that I knew for a fact were good backups (restored many times). The only way to fix it is use Odin, once this was done my nands were good again, free of FC's, go figure o_0 .

Great advice guys, honestly I didn't feel like using Odin XD but I cleared eerything x3 and cleared cache w/ Titanium, and it worked! Then. Flashed a Journaling.zip so I think I'm good now. Thanks! I really didn't wan switch from this rom, it's been working really well for me.

Edit: Wait spoke to soon I'm getting acore FC'S Again -.-

Flashed caches in recovery and it stopped so far.
[Epic 4G General] know.patience:
i have this problem too, just started happening after switching launchers on E17. I ditched TW to use ADW and Gapps started force closing. I tried to clear data for gapps but the option is greyed out in the Manage Apps menu.

Oddly enough, i'm not in the mood for a reflash either.
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
Try using titaniumbackup to wipe data
[Epic 4G General] Salmondo:
One fix for the GAPPs FC on Epic.

I recently fixed a problem like this that had me pulling out my hair. I Odin'ed a new modem, reflashed SRF. I finally resorted to a stock ROM and still no joy. Phone would ring and not answer, calls had no volume, Google framework crashed repeatedly.

For some reason, I plugged in a set of earbuds and suddenly the sound worked and it quit crashing. Everything back to normal.

Why? I think there was grit and moisture stuck in the earphone jack. Plugging in the earphones dislodged it. Strange but true.
[Epic 4G General] brewdude:
If you just clear data on google framework with titanium backup you should resolve the problem.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
It happens if you pull battery while phone is on or when phone battery dies while phone performing some task.

1 Turn off the phone before battery dies

2 Dont pull battery while phone is on,unless theres no other choice

3 Have journaling on

If you follow these rules you will almost never get these fc's.
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
Didn't work for me. Neither did 3x cache wipe and dalvik wipe.

I also have a podcast I downloaded randomly play. Weird thing is, I DL'd it months ago and deleted it! It's weird.
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
Flash journaling on?
[Epic 4G General] Fire n mage:
I don't wanna quote an delete that stuff XD. But I've read a lot that it can be due to syncing errors as well, but that wasn't the fix for me. =/ it may work for you though. When I say flash 'journaling on' I mean that there's a zip file called "journalingon.zip" floating around and flashing it often fixes these errors. =P also try fixing permissions in recovery (CWM). Surely one of these plus the instructions you've posted will fix the error. :D

I would upload the journalingon.zip for you to download.. but I dunno how! XD
