[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chip0:
Ok thanx for the help. One last q lol I'm rooted on2.2 now can I flash a gb Rom over Wat I'm on now or no?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nate14:
Yes as long as you have a recovery installed and since you're rooted I'm sure you do.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nate14:
Also, depending on what version of 2.2 you're running you may need to flash a compatible radio to have data working on the GB build.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chip0:
Ok thanx a bunch!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nate14:
Yeah no problem.

I rooted the Xoom and have HC 3.2. However starting a few days ago, the Xoom keeps prompting me to install an OTA.

How do I get it to never OTA or tell me that there is an OTA?

Thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mulletcutter:
I think there was a thread for 3.1 to stop the prompt but i didnt see one for 3.2....damn prompt. I get it and i have tiamat
[Xoom Themes and Apps] RMerlin:
There are threads in the Developer forum that offers downloads and instructions on how to upgrade from 3.2 to 3.2.1 HTK75D without losing root.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rockhumper:
if you run tiamat 2.2.1 moray then go to developer forum thread and download then flash mod pack 3....I will attach here for reference as well...will not work for stock honeycomb though. Check developer thread foot updating without losing root as mentioned above.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] MitchRapp:
I can confirm that the mod disables OTA's on Tiamat 2.2.1
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mulletcutter:
Sho does. Its been a long time since ive read the OP from moray.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
I'm considering purchasing the Epic Touch 4G from a nearby Sprint corporate store in order to be able to try the phone out for 14 days. The logic behind this is that my upgrade period starts in a few weeks, and it is my understanding that customers are limited to one return of a device purchased as an upgrade. In order to avoid losing my one return via the upgrade, I'd rather use the time before to try out the ET4G. There are three devices I'm interested in - ET4G, iPhone5 and Nexus Prime - and the return limit means I can't try them all out.

What I'm wondering, though, will my return of the phone purchased tomorrow prevent me from potentially returning a different phone purchased as an upgrade?
[Epic 4G General] Jackalo:
So you want to purchase a phone at full price to try it out before returning it to use an upgrade to get a second phone, and then returning that second phone on the upgrade to get a third?
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
that's certainly possible. a lot depends on how much I like the ET4G - I could decide I like it enough that once my upgrade kicks in, I'll just get that one and stick with it. but I'd like to know that I could try out multiple phones if I wanted to.
[Epic 4G General] abhaxus:
You could probably do that, but you would be royally ****ing the numbers of that store, especially the salesperson who sold the first one, which isn't fair to them. 2 returns means they would have to sell about two dozen phones without any more returns to get back to even on their goals. I would suggest buying the et4g used and trying it that way. Or you could buy it from telesales or sprint.com and return it in store. Just keep in mind the restocking fee. The only way around it is to return to your original device on or before the third day of use, which includes the day you buy it.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
ah ok, fair enough. I don't have a problem with paying the restocking fee, but I don't want to screw over the in-store salesperson. It's no both to me to order via telesales, so if you think that's the soundest approach, I'll just do that. Being able to return it to a corporate store at least means I can maximize the number of days I'll be able to test it out.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Wait, what? That's not how goals work at our stores.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
can you clarify whether doing what I described earlier would screw the sales staff in the store? would it be better to place the order by phone or online instead?
[Epic 4G General] abhaxus:
My math might be off because im not really trying to be exact, but if an rc wants to maintain a return exchange rate of less than 8% they can have one return or exchange for every 12 handsets sold. If they do 2 exchanges for a customer, it only gets worse. We had a lady swap 5 times over the summer and just murder one guy's numbers. Depends on how busy the store is ultimately. If the rep normally sells lots of handsets it wont matter too much. But a return from telesales or dotcom doesnt affect an individual salesperson. Hence why i suggested it. Just trying to remind everyone that reps are people too. You wouldnt want your boss to ride you all month because you exchanged 2 handsets for a guy I'm sure. That said, if your rep is a moron or a ****, who cares? Sprint would b better off without them anyway.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Sorry my response took so long. I forgot about this thread.

We do not have goals for return percentages at our stores, just for the net new activations and upgrades at the end of the month. Obviously we want to get people into the right phone the first time, but there are so many people that want to try different phones before deciding that it really isn't fair to punish the salesperson when the customer is the one causing us a problem. We do have a limit of 1 customer satisfaction swap per activation/upgrade that helps us limit frivolous swaps.

Of course, our stores are not corporate stores, but we are a platinum level preferred sprint dealer.
[Epic 4G General] Killasmoke:
Why not wait for all phones to come out & test them at the store then pick the one you like play with at home & if you don't like it bring it back for one you want you got 14days to return it!
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Best idea. If u get the SGSII now how can u compare it to the the prime and iphone if they aren't out yet.

[Epic 4G General] swear0730:
I was wondering why they hate me at the Sprint store. I was eligible so I went in and got a Epic Touch. I HATED how it felt in my hand. If I'm holding something larger than my hand then it better have a nipple on it. Anyway, I figured I could get used to it but the LOS killed my love of this beautiful device. I returned it for a Photon. About the same size as the Epic. A little lighter and bigger screen. Great radio and battery but the core apps (Email/Contacts/Calendar) all suck IMO. Returned that too. Salesrep barely talked to me. Now I know why.

I really wish they had a phone lounge where their longtime customers could sit down with a real phone with service and not tethered just so we can take it thru its paces.

FYI: I am back on my Epic. Poor radio, short battery but great phone.

(With Swype I never use the keyboard though)
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Why not just spend the extra time researching on XDA, then go to a Sprint store to play with it for a few hours to see whether you will like it or not. IMHO spending the time to set up your phone, activation etc etc, driving to the store aren't worth the hassle if you are already considering returning it.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
30 minutes to have a phone at home for 2 weeks vs. spending "a few hours" in a Sprint store? I think I'll take the former.

anyway, it's pretty safe to say the iPhone is off this list since it's completely pointless. I like the ET4G a lot but the bottom line is that Sprint can't deliver service on a level that would really support these devices let alone justify the expense of a new phone. I think I'll just stick with my Epic.

[EVO Shift 4G General] szainmehdi:
Hi everyone.

My sister has an HTC EVO Shift that has sadly been dropped a few times. There is a problem with the screen now.

I'm not sure how to explain it, but the screen is registering a non-existent touch point!

And when that happens, the capacitive buttons are rendered useless.

Please any help would be appreciated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
best bet would to take it to sprint. doubt we can help you with a broken screen
[EVO Shift 4G General] szainmehdi:
Mmk, I figured as much. But its not broken, nor is there any significant physical damage to the screen. Touching the housing at the top-left and top-right of the screen creates a touch point in the upper center of the screen somehow! >:(
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
If it's been dropped and then the issue started occuring. Then it's most likely a Hardware issue. If it's rooted, RUU it back to stock unrooted. Take it in to Sprint and let them take care of it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chipo58:
I read that the bionic had a known issue of dropping data with a short term solution of cycling airplane mode to reinitialize the data connection. My bionic will drop data at least once a day. While data is lost I miss all emails and text messages (since I use google voice and my messages come over data connection). While the solution of cycling the airplane mode works I often don't realize I've been missing emails for several hours which is a no no in my job.

1-how many of you are experiencing similar problems? 2-since I'm about 11 days into the phone, is it worth trying another bionic out with a replacement (ie-is it an occasional problem or universal to all bionics until the next update)

Thx
[Motorola Droid Bionic] transpec:
I get the same thing and its pretty f'in annoying, usually I notice it happening after longer calls, like you I just cycle the piss out of airplane mode...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tmwes:
It has been happening to me since the day I got the phone. I know it is an issue, and I know it is something that is supposedly to be addressed in the next update...however, yesterday morning I was so frustrated with it that I called VZW just to let them know it was happening to me.

Interestingly enough, since I made that call, I have not lost data connection. I have not rebooted or put the phone into airplane mode in over 24 hours.

It would drop out after switching from 4g to 3g, and it would also drop out in a 3g only area. But it has not dropped out in over a day; even in certain spots where it was consistently dropping out every day.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
This happens all the time for me, usually when I first wake up or when I've been on WiFi for a while with data off. I've gotten around this issue (reliably and without powering down) by:

1) Disabling Juice Defender (temporarily) so that my data will run even with WiFi 2) Ensuring that data is enabled (in Settings)

3) Dialing *#*#4636#*#*

4) Opening "Phone", then tapping "Turn off Radio" at the bottom of the page

5) Tapping "Turn on Radio" again

6) Hitting Back or Home to get back to your home screen

In just a moment, when the radio comes back up, you should find Mobile Data re-enabled.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] RoboJoe:
It's happened to me once or twice, but I was messing around with tethering and just assumed it was my fault.

It hasn't happened in a while.

Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chipo58:
I had this thought last night. Could an app developer make a simple app that ran in the background and checked for internet connection every couple hours. If connection is lost it would cycle airplane mode which would restore connection. Basically it would operate the same as juice defender but with different parameters and the opposite goal (ie- turn data on instead of off). Thoughts? I would pay a buck our two for that app to keep from going 3 plus hours missing emails and texts. Who else would buy that app?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hakoda:
It's stable for me, most of the time. I ever have problems I do just cycle but 5.9.905 (soon) should patch up most problems.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ciling:
I'm running .905 now and still sticked by this prob...until using the app for every start of my bionic.

i have an omnia 7 t mob germany branded and was eagerly waiting for mango..my device was on 7oo8 pre nodo build.. i wasnt able to update to nodo with zune for whatever reasons.. but i thought of giving it a miss.. when mango was released yesterday i was sad to note that i dint get the update..did a lot of research on it and now i have official mango with all samsung drivers.. heres how

1)because i was on 7.0.7008, i had to first update to nodo ( which zune was not doing).. so i had to do it.. i went to this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131891 and downloaded the NoDo rom and flashed it to device using flash tool (guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973420)

2) now i was on nodo , i connected my device to zune for mango updates.. but it said my software was up to date.. so i had to force update mango.. what i did was, i went this link http://koolmobile.net/windows-phone-7-mango-7720-rtm-leakedhow-to-install/ and installed beta test zune software and updated my phone to mango beta 1 using it..

3) now i had mango beta 1 (7403) on my phone.. after this step everything was seamless.. zune updated itself.. then it told me that i had a new software update (final build 7720)..it installed it.. then it installed another update (beta clean up) and lastly samsung update of drivers..

[Windows Phone 7 General] xCTRL:
I'm currently on 7392. I was wondering that if I would use your method by first going to the beta and then getting the official update... do I actually have to backup my NoDo files because I'm not going back to it never :D

Edit: Nevermind, I can't find the required files anywhere to actually do this.... I just want my Mango!
[Windows Phone 7 General] aswinm16:
it may work.. but I would still suggest u to flash the nodo firmware I mentioned above before updating to mango beta..

In a vague twitter post? I'm less than impressed with what passes for a reliable source these days. Some, including myself, would laugh at an internet rumor mill as the source of any information. No matter who authored it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nl3142:
Actually, the VM notification bug has already been fixed as long as you have S-OFF thanks to rootzwiki. Let's see how long it takes them to integrate that fix, assuming they go that route. In other words, if you are using the rooted MR3 OTA then you are good to go. The fix also works on other GB roms as well and I believe Bamf already includes it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Eh, I didn't really word that right. I just meant that is where people are getting that info. It most likely was a Twitter post or something, but probably from the VZW support account.

there is no update as I called tech support and they told me they have not pushed one out yet. Call them.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
They stopped pushing the update because it had issues and they were getting a lot of complaints about it. My friend got a Tbolt and we did the OTA on it before they stopped pushing it so I KNOW it was out there. I saw it with my own two eyes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Cnt5189:
So I think that the Droid Bionic will release the unlocked bootloader in a month to 2 months. I have faith they will notice how many people are unhappy about locked bootloaders. Moto didn't announce the update to the Photon4g till a month and a half after its release. I know its a while to wait and wonder, but thank you to those in attempt to unlocking the bootloader... Lets just hope Moto is nice enough to just hand it to us!:D

The Atrix and Photon got unlocked due to a fluke. The Droid X has been out for 15 months...still hasn't been unlocked by the good-hearted people at Motorola.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Anything with running on top of a Linux kernel can be rooted. And being all the sgs2 models were rooted

fairly quickly after they were released i'm sure it won't be long for the ATT sgs2.

Plus the source for the kernel has already been released which will just make it go faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] joeybear23:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kletiz:
Hopefully we don't run into as many issues as the Epic 4G Touch community. Their root method at the moment involves flashing a pre-rooted kernel. And this kernel randomly causes loss of service for many users. Luckily though they're CDMA and we're GSM. I wouldn't be surprised if we were able to borrow the root method from the I9100.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigblue95z:
Being so similar, I'm hoping so too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
They did not have a working source for the e4gt kernel when rooting that last month. From the messages I've seen posted it looks like source for the ATT gs2 has been released which will make things allot easier - as long as it is an actual working source for a stock kernel for the ATT gs2 (fingers crossed)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
We are going to need the same method (flash custom kernel). That's the only way to root the latest version of GingerBread. Hopefully it is done correctly since there are already existing ones from i9100.

I didn't think rooting like the captivate would work for the SG2..Hopefully their'll be plenty of XDA threads goin on after launch!!! :):p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I don't think that'll happen. A lot of the problems with the E4GT were not due to the device, but due to inexperience and lack of coordination of some of their developers. I can't believe how long it took them to figure out that you could root a /system dump and use that to extract a kernel from a stock device...

I'm still 50/50 on purchasing a device. If I do and alton987 gets the system dump I asked for in his thread, I think I'll be able to get a stock kernel extracted and /system rooted within a few hours of purchasing - again, if I decide to go ahead.
