Just re-flashed the rom...signal/3g is back..wtf!? lol...aren't you supp to sometimes lose your IMEI going TO miui not FROM! :)
[Vibrant General] jneal9:
That's what I've read. Only happened to me once while going to CM7. But Odin solved it easy. May have been that your modem didn't flash properly or something.
[Vibrant General] accordex:
it said it had Ka7 modem...weird sh*t...trying diff rom to see if it happens again...
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
The IMEI "unknown" has happened a few times to me. I found that if I just shut the phone down, pulled the sim card, rebooted phone (no sim), shut down again and replaced the sim, reboot - it works fine

Of course first thing I did was fire up Root Explorer and make sure my /efs directory was not empty.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nola mike:
Anyone else having a problem with connecting to hotmail via exchange server? Had been working fine for me. Last couple of days I've been messing around with some different ROMs. At some point I lost my hotmail. I don't know if it was related to the ROM changes, but at this point I've tried darkside runny, MIUI, CM, virtuous unity, and a couple of others. I had been using an older version of unity, but I'm pretty sure I had it working with older sense ROMs prior to that. I'm getting a "failed to create account" error.

EDIT: Weird. As I'm typing this, everything started working. FWIW, I'm wondering if it has something to do with having push enabled, and hotmail disabling the account on the server side. I followed a suggestion of setting up the account, but not checking any boxes to sync, and choosing 15 min as the update interval. I then enabled syncing through the main settings/sync menu, and all is well. I think the real key is that I waited an hour or so this last time before trying to set up the account again. How annoying. The current ROM is darkside, btw.

I just wanted to share the chargers I use to everyone.

I have no problems with battery life mainly because I carry at least one charger with me everywhere I go.

Currently, I'm using 3 chargers. Sometimes I carry all 3 with me.

1. The Ultimate Charger

2. Monaco Solar Charger

3. TMobile Battery Boost

Anyway...

1st charger. Nice and simple. USB Charger that can plug into an outlet to charge your phone through a cable. Bonus is a builtin 1340mAh battery. Not enough to fully charge the phone, but it definitely helps me out a lot. Always helpful to have a outlet charger that can store some battery.

2nd charger. A common solar charger for the situations where I'm always out in the sun. Not much to say about this. Free energy is always a nice thing right? 1800 mAh battery too.

3rd charger. My latest addition to my charger family and quickly becoming a favorite. Builtin USB and MicroUSB cables now makes it so I no longer need to carry out even my retractable cables. 1700mAh battery inside. I think of it as a charging cable with a battery inside. Lots of uses for this. I can just plug 1 end to a computer and another end to my phone to charge my phone if the battery inside has run out. Charger just became a simple cable replacement. Or unplug phone and it'll charge the charger instead.

What's nice is how it can be used with the other two chargers. Say I'm no where near a computer, all my chargers are dead, but there's an outlet. Plug the 3rd charger into the 1st charger and have the 1st charger in an outlet. It'll charge the 3rd charger or my phone if that's connected to my phone. Replace 1st charger with the 2nd charger if I'm no where near an outlet but its a sunny day at a nearby park. Able to use the 3rd charger as a cable between the solar and my phone or just use it to charge my stuff.

Think I'm starting to repeat myself, but yes, those are the chargers I use and I don't have any battery problems.

Sorry, I never proofread or format what I write.

I'm looking for more chargers to use. Thinking about a good kinetic charger. Any recommendations?
[LG Optimus 3D] hondymondy:
I prefer the #2. Monaco Solar Charger. :p
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JewRican:
I came from the 3.5 ROM's and am now running the stock + ROMs to get the phone speed and stability back. I would like to know how to use the mail.apk from 3.5 on this rom.

I saved the apk to my sd but when i open it using Astro, it gives me an error.

I tried to delete or rename the current mail.apk in the /system/app folder but i cannot do so there either.

What do i need to do to install the newer version of this application?

Thanks for your help!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JewRican:
i tried to copy it into system\apps but it just says application not installed.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] watt9493:
I dont think itll work.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnhmz:
I recently decided to root my nexus S i9023 device, and tried cyanogen and miui roms, and they are good roms, but since then i couldn't play gameloft games, not all of them, but the latest like 9mm an modern combat 2, they always close unexpectedly after checking license. it wasnt the case before rooting on stock rom i was playing any game just fine.

now Im on the latest MIUI rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnhmz:
I guess i'm going back to the stock and unrooted since no one has an idea about that.
[HTC Sensation] malberti1993:
I installed Joe RCU kernal and im using cm7, How can i undervolt my sensation for better battery life?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
System tuner by 3c available in the market.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] malberti1993:
yeah i did that but under voltage it says not available.

Mike
[HTC Sensation] durps:
Remove any overclocking app you have, if you are using one.

Go to the market, download System Tuner app by a developer named 3c.

Set your clock frequency to whatever you want to by opening the app and going to th tab named Tweaks.

Then, once on the Tweaks tab, click Voltage.

On the bottom left, there will be a button that says "-12.5mV", hit that exactly 7 times. That's the safest voltage that I have seen it can go, altough certain phones can go lower.

To the right, click boot setting and click on re-apply cpu settings at boot, and you're set.

You are now undervolted.

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

Did you give it Super User permission? Did you also hit the cpu tab before the voltage tab?
[HTC Sensation] malberti1993:
I updated superuser and it worked.

Whats a safe undervolting voltage and also how much battery life is going to be improved?
[HTC Sensation] heyjoe66:
playing with undervolts and it seems the lowest voltage is fixed to 812500

i'm guessing, it's set by kernel, but i wonder, if i can lower it even more?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arozer:
Is this an issue for anyone else?

I just switched over from Evo 3D. And in my living room, where I used to get 2 bars on Evo, I get absolutely 0 on this phone. It goes in and out of roaming like 100 times while I'm there. And in the basement, where I used to get at least 1, I get roaming at all times.

Is there a fix for this?

(I searched on the 1st two pages of this section, and found nothing.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
I see the same signal strength on both phones. You should check with your local Sprint people for getting a refund or something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] speedy0339:
This phone's reception is way worse than the evo 3D.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neurodave:
Try calling Sprint and having them do a profile reset on their end and then update your PRL and profile while in your home. It helped me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LxMxFxD:
I can't compare to evo3d, but compared to evo 4g this phone is far worse reception. Also, wifi reception is at least as terrible. At is, assuming the DB levels and bars both correlate to the real signal level. I often send and receive calls with 0 bars. It makes no sense, but i've learned to live with the concept that 0 bars on an samsung epic 4g touch does not mean anything.

If you are roaming however where you previously got 2 bars.. well.. thats a different story. Try turning off roaming and see if you can't dial out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
i feel ya. both me and my father got new epic touches and i at least really love the phone.. but ... the 3g at least signal strength is subpar.

where i was getting -78 db on a moment

and he was getting -71 db on an evo

we are both hovering around the -101 db mark at home.

poor.

very sad because other than the poor signal strength outside of major areas these things blow my mind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ace0603:
Take it into Sprint store. They will do a test. My first SII ET had some other bug. I had very poor reception and very slow internet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
Yep. My speeds suck on 3g. Works great on 4g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bigjim1488:
I am finding exact opposite results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
if i lean forward on my couch, I get 1 bar sprint, lean back, nothing, unless i force roam to VZ, i get 2-3 on that... anyways, reception is about the same as for the OG epic for me, the 4g is way better for me though, I was in my work parking lot and got 13 megs down... but 4g is so spotty here I rarely turn it on. Anyways, with the Network Vision thingy going on... I suspect some crazy signal drops/increases coming...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
10-13Mbps download speeds on full bar 4G at home. No LOS, Not a single issue with this phone. Battery life is amazing. I am finding it hard to be on the forums because everyone is complaining about something. Bad 3g...blame the IPhone for that. My 4G has gone up by 5+Mbps. I did the 4G signal hack that I did on my Epic and it only got better. I guess I need to go chill in the Nexus forums until people get their issues worked out. Its probably a voltage increase when phone is idle that will fix LOS issue
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sksallaj:
Back a year ago I rooted my nexus one phone, but the thing is I uninstalled a few stock apps. I had no idea that my updates would be a pain.

What I found out is that each new google update does a ton of asserts on files that it expects to be there. I had a problem with google books when I tried to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, but someone on this forum hack a cracked version that allowed me to do so.

Now the annoying problem is back again, and this time, it's saying something about assert_failed: apply patch check ("system/app/EmailGoogle.apk...

I tried to find an EmailGoogle.apk out there, and I was able to find it, but if I was to use it, it wouldn't connect at all, then it would crash. I also placed it in system/app folder, and still same problem.

Is there a way for me to hack the update.zip so I can tell it to ignore these assertions?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sksallaj:
AHH! I figured it out!

After much searching for updating scripts, I found out that there is indeed a file that tells your phone how to perform a patch update.

This involved me rebooting the phone 7 times (with about 5 times prior with previous experimentation)

Okay what I had were the following items

-Dropbox

-Root Explorer

-Laptop

Initially I got the error after running anon ra recovery, but I lost it when I accidently updated 2.3.4 again (I stupidly named my files as update.zip, update1.zip, update2.zip). Actually, I lost root (the phone still had the unlocked thing on it, but it was fooled). So I used this website (to root my phone again):

http://chensun.net/android-development/root-nexus-one-with-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/8/

So to get the specific error

1.you shut down your phone

2. reboot by pressing power button and down volume and hold it

3. Select recovery by navigating using the down volume, and select it by pressing power button.

4. After it reboots again, scroll down using your trackball and select Flash zip from sdcard

5. make sure you toggle signature verification to disable

6. select your update.zip

thats how you get your error

to fix:

1. So I took the signed zip file, and uploaded it to my dropbox

2. I opened the file using winrar (DO NOT UNZIP THIS FILE TO EDIT) the reason you do not want to unzip is because if you zip it up again you lose the signature, and your phone won't find the script

3. I used winrar to navigate to the following:

META-INF-->com-->google-->android

4. Open update-script using notepad

5. crtl-f on each package-name searching through the file:

emailgoogle.apk

GenieWidget.apk

Mms.apk

Talk.apk

Twitter.apk

VoiceDialer.apk

(ugh.. I forgot I uninstalled all those)

they existed twice. Once to assert to make sure the file exists, and the second to apply the patch

You have to remove both, you can keep the progress bar command there, that's just to update the progress of your update on your screen

example

;assert(apply_patch_check("/system/app/Twitter.apk", "48dcef1792760138acb1c10e2a2341dfbee69258", "e3e34aa0a72d0eaf76d80a06828bd14ea8450d34"))

apply_patch("/system/app/Twitter.apk", "-",

48dcef1792760138acb1c10e2a2341dfbee69258, 1596937,

e3e34aa0a72d0eaf76d80a06828bd14ea8450d34, package_extract_file("patch/system/app/Twitter.apk.p"));

so after repeating this over and over, it finally updated

anyways, going to sleep
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Unzip the file on your phone with eStrongs file manager.

Edit the update script (eStrongs again).

Rezip (eStrongs again).

Sign with ZipSigner, or toggle signature verification in recovery.

Flash.

Note, if you use the "flash zip from SD" option, you don't need to name the file "update.zip"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sksallaj:
thanks danger-rat, seen your posts many times before, I saved lots of your comments in my evernote :)

I already knew about renaming update.zip, I just got into a dumb naming habit, the last 5 tries I just kept the name as it was

my root explorer (file manager) by speed software does what eStrongs does, I can edit, zip, tar, unmount folders, set permissions etc, maybe you should check it out

but i've learned two new things about your post

never heard of zipsigner, and eStrongs

thanks for showing the quicker way of doing this, the dropbox thing was a bit of a hassle, but I love editting this on my computer rather than my phone using the trackball touchpad combo :-|

I'm wondering why a solution wasn't even there when I was looking for answers around the web? I searched for hours too. I'm also glad I didn't brick my phone!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Yeah, I use Root Explorer a lot. I prefer the interface on eStrongs and love the LAN capabilities and Dropbox interface, but Root Explorer is much better when you need root permission.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
I ordered this case last week and so far I am really loving it. First things first, I really like the build quality. The case gives you alot of options with different viewing angles which is nice. It has leather on the outside and felt on the inside. All ports are accessible and you can even plug into the keyboard dock without having to remove from the case (huge bonus for me). I don't have anything to compare to but it seems very slim. I have never been a case guy for my phones but with a tablet I don't think it matters as much. Overall I am very glad I bought it. For the price, $25, the quality is second to none. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Link to sale site below.

Edit: i do want to add that I just noticed the speakers look like they might be covered in the pix but when you take off the bumper guard you can see they are not covered at all. If anyone cares.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] qhinton:

I bought the rotating one too and hate it

The popper is a stupid idea, impossible to remove and attach with the TF insde without almost cracking the screen from the back

Should have been Velcro I think, I might replace it

Also the TF doesnt sit straight inside it, so the camera is partially covered by the back of the case
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] qhinton:
Yea I don't like he button either. I love the case though, because I can remove it. Your case looks really professional are those plastic clips holding it in
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
I don't know. Very sturdy so it SEEMS like metal. It's covered in leather so hard to tell.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jyams:
I have the blurex case same as OP and love it. I've had several different tablets and tried most all the versions of cases, and this Blurex is the best I have ever had. It is extremely functional also looks really classy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Toast95135:
I ordered the Blurex case after reading your review and I just got it in the mail today. Its really nice, the fit is perfect with no slipping or sliding. The only thing I dont like is that the bottom is quite tight so its kind of awkward to put into the stand mode. Im sure itll break in though with use.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
Yeah its gets a little more loose. But to be honest I like having it somewhat hard to get out. I just have to add, it passed to toddler test this weekend with flying colors :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sixcoronas:
I bought this from Amazon after reading this review.

Great case, really nice. Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] bobcatuk:
Picked up this case from Amazon UK to replace a previous case, love it, really well made, solid professional finish and really light.

I think the best part is having 100% of the screen area visable :)

glad to hear it guys. mine is still going strong. my family loves all the viewing angles and i never have to worry about the kids messing anything up when carrying it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ziffos:
Well I have just ordered my Blurex Case from Amazon UK at a cost of £19.99.

I was looking for a case that would allow me to keep the case on the "tablet" whilst still coupled to the "dock" and sure enough I saw this review thread.

Many thanks to polo79 for reviewing the case and for providing the DEFINATELY needed photos.

I look forward to the case arrival hopefully later this week.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
You won't be disappointed. And, it's turning out to be very sturdy. Mine is a family tablet so it's been played with by a 3, 6, and 12 year old daily and still holding strong.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
Looks pretty cool! The swivel is different. I don't know about the elastic strap that holds it closed. I like the blurex latch thingy. It's easy to close yet stays closed. And isn't going to scratch anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
You're welcome man. It was so awesome just had to share it with my xda peeps!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Buckskin1:

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sm753:
That's great. I ordered this yesterday and found this review today. I guess I didn't do my homework on XDA first but I'm pleased to see that I made a good choice.

My only remaining concern that wasn't address in this thread - can anyone who has this case comment on how well this case stays "shut" and how it stays "shut"? i.e. velcro or magnets? Thanks! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] harveydent:
From the looks of it, it's a tab/latch that clings to the edge of the TF. It's the same material as the case so it won't scratch the bezel. I have a similar case on my Touchpad, and based on the other posts on this thread, the tab/latch keeps it securely closed
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
B

Correct. You can also search a YouTube video on the case that does a good job of showing the case.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] maciek82:
Just ordered mine while doing other shopping on amazon. Now I just need to finally order the actual Asus Transformer tablet... :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sm753:
Best case so far

I've struggled to find a good case for my Transformer but I think I've finally found it thanks to you guys.

I've tried this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00565T3ZW which turned out to be too thick and added significant bulk to the tablet. The edges also didn't fit "tightly" around the edges of the screen so at the top there were places were the cover "bulged" out noticeably.

I also tried the "official" Asus one, which was really slim and I honestly liked it. The only problems with that one is that the tablet was loose inside so I'd constantly be "re-positioning" the tablet so that it sat correctly. Other than that...it offered absolutely zero protection other than protecting the screen from scratches while closed.

Just offering my own experiences for those interested. The Blurex case is the best one so far, exactly as the OP described. Only warning is that it has a strong smell...I hope it goes away soon! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] polo79:
Lol. The smell of awesomeness!!! Jk. Mine didn't smell at all so maybe yours is just fresh off the press and it will go away with time.
