Im running 3.6.1 too. I had the same issue with restarts. I flashed the faux 2.1 kernel and that fixed the issue. But the signal problem is still there, It's dropping like crazy and my phones calls have been dropping too. 4g to Edge to 4g, very annoying.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I haven't tried it ,so I cannot vouch for it,but this was posted a while back:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23627927/RU...0U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_196476_signed.rar

Download it and keep it safe.

:)
[HTC Sensation] mrhaddock:
Thanks for that, I've updated the kernel will let you know how it goes :D

One more question if you know, how do I change he boot animation, I've got the file but I don't have a local directory in the data folder (on SD card).

Once again many thanks for the help.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I Use ES File explorer.

Go into settings,and at the bottom tick root explorer and mount file system.

Then go to the root of your phone(NOT sd card)-->data-->local and change bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.bak

Then,place your new bootanimation.zip there and reboot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] mrhaddock:
Sorted cheers....no reboots so far :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MKVFTW:
I have Parrot Asteroid in my car as of last night and i am looking for a way to share internet with it. Apparently it supports bluetooth DUN via cell phones but as far as i know the SGS2 doesn't support DUN. I have tried wifi tether for root to test but i get an error on the device. Ideally i would like to have Native DUN support for the SGS2 so when it connects via bluetooth for the voice and media it will start sharing internet without any application startup.

Also an alternative method would be USB internet sharing between the android device. This will be beneficial as it would charge the phone too. I know this is supported to a windows machine but another android device?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.alawi:
hi

ever since CM 7 is out for Xperia arc i've been wondering if i should unlock bootloader and start putting custom ROMs on my Arc but i'm hesitating

i don't know if it's worth it to unlock bootloader at the moment or not...

can anyone who unlock the bootloader tell me what he like about it and

what he is missing from stock ROM ? and is there better ROM then CM7 for Xperia arc ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Hi.

It's worth it whether you want to put custom ROMs on or not as it's handy for a variety of things such as flashing Pre-rooted ROMS, Themes or Tweaks, or clearing caches and battery stats.

Do it, it's easy and if you screw up along the line there are fixes here. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
Im having the most annoying problems with my photon

all used to work well, signal bars were great.

then one day i had a fail to boot message, so i flashed this SBF

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202666

And nothings been the same. It seems my radio/baseband is messed up

I have it set to GSM Only as usual

but every now and then it just loses signal ( i think when it switches towers) and wont come back till i reset it. and other times itll switch to 'Automatic' and think its a CDMA phone.

And the most annoying part is most of the time ill have 'signal' but little do i know no text messages are getting to me. and no phone calls. and if i try a phone call it hangs up a second in. These problems are all intermittent, itll suddenly just work after time, then stop after time. I thought it was my SIM Card but all is functional 100% in a different phone. I hope i dont have a sudden hardware problem in the phone itself.

I tried flashing to old SBFs, factory resetting nothing works

Ofcourse I skip the handset activation at the beginning as im in canada (GSM) and i cant seem to 'factory reset' the radio or use any of those codes because im in Canada and it asks for a passcode that i dont have

if ANYONE knows nething i can do pelase help, because its looking like i have to ditch the photon :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] biohazard2u:
I flashed my phone with that too, but no network problem after that.

I guess you have tried already to flash again. I'm also on gsm only.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
im thinking my phones radio is physically crapping out.. ah.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Perhaps that SBF borks GSM usage? Have you tried one of the very first SBF's that have been put out?
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
i tried 154_5, and 198_6, not sure if they are 'official', but both have this problem.

do u know of any other ones, or of some factory rom

id try those deblurred custom roms, but they have this wierd bug of not showing signal bars with GSM, aka no matter how good my signal is, the signal bar will always show 0 in those roms
[Motorola Photon 4G] robinrisk:
I have been searching for crazy for the past week becuase i have had the same issue.

UMTS 3G radio stopped working, but i have not been able to find any 154 sbf files to flash.

I have to keep GSM mode only, and my battery life is terrible. Battery dies after 7 hours with NO usage. The only thing i have not tried, after flashing all kinds of software, is doing a nandroid backup on another Photon and flashing it on my phone. Will try it right now ad report back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
thats a good idea, especially if the nandroid u take is from a STOCK completely untouched Photon, i just wanna go back to how it was when i first got it

let me know how it works out! so we can upload it

i have the 154 sbf if u wanna try it:

http://www.multiupload.com/FNZKNV0T3G

ps: try flashing a rom from the dev section like that 'Home Base' one, i will try later
[Motorola Photon 4G] robinrisk:
THANK YOU! I have been trying like crazy to find the 154 one. Im flashing the nandroid backup, but im doing it over the advanced settings, sine the /boot folder is giving me an error while checking "MD5 sums". It says error while flashing boot image. All other folders restore ok. I´ll post back.

ps. I´ve flashed HomeBase and Alien rom and apparently they do not touch the basebands.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
considering that sbf that broke it for me is an official sprint update, it means sprint/motorola messed it up, knowingly or unknowingly, should we make it clear to them (to matt on those moto forums). not many users probably use gsm w sprint/photon so the problem isnt wide spread

i think the one that was working for me was soemthing even before 154, i cant remember if i updated my photon once, 194 is the third OTA right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] robinrisk:
Im not very sure, but i work for Sprint, so i´ll check it out tomorrow and let you know.

Anyways, my friend with the Photon, the one i used for a nandroid backup does not have any issues connecting to 3G Gsm networks. It is very odd indeed.

[Edit] My friend´s Photon and mine do not have the same baseband version after the nandroid backup, so i guess it doesnt touch it. We need to figure out a way to get the sbf for the baseband,
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
whats ur baseband version?

ill check mine

if u work for sprint thats a bonus, dig around tomorrow!
[Motorola Photon 4G] iLLa:
my baseband is n_01.28.05s.fk i am currently doing an OTA update that has been ongoing for a week. im still only at 23%. so there may be a newer version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Don't know if it helps at all, But I'm on CDMA and my baseband version is the same. n_01.28.05s.fk

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @xDeepS:
Hey guys. I just got my unlocked S2. After looking around I like the default apps and stuff. Kies Air is awesome too. If I flash do I lose those apps? Am an experienced user. And think yeah but dunno. Worth flashing a ROM? stock stuff is nice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modmymobile:
I have been thinking the same to!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Hello there. It depends on what you are flashing. There are two kinds of roms, those based on official sammy roms and ASOP roms (like cyanogen) which are clean and built from scratch. If you don't want to lose the other apps I recommend you flash a rom based on official sammy roms or just root because usually ASOP roms don't contain much and they can't use any sammy based programs/apks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @xDeepS:
Well for some reason with this phone I like Samsung apps. So no ASOP this time. Weird. Well what are some good Samsung custom ROMs?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Yeah, I like them too. You could try:

Lite'ning Rom

Exynos Extreme

Criskelo Rom

I've tried these and they're good. Samsung goodness but faster and snappier. Enjoy flashing. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Basics are you root if you need root it does not make your phone go faster .

Custom roms may or may not wipe apps its all in the description of each rom .

Little performance difference between custom and stock rom .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Root- It's a must imo.

A Custom ROM- Depends on how mad you are about them. I am not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
I agree just root with cfroot if you like the stock apps etc.

Personally I think KI8 is worth a look.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
so samsung announced the unveiling of the nexus prime: october 19. i was watching a video on huffington post and it was talking about different handsets being announced through different manufacturers and carriers, all running ICS. it really made it sound like ICS is going to be a selective update and that some phones may not be getting it.

what do you think the odds of the g2x getting this update are? i'm slightly annoyed that the prime is being released shortly after i bought my g2x. i figured we would have another droid bionic situation and be waiting months for the prime. i'm going to be even more annoyed if the g2x is another tmobile forgotten device.

thoughts?

I have a feeling it's not going to get it. It's a great phone, but T-Mobile just doesn't seem to be pushing it very hard.

LG will never update this phone ever again. Gingerbread was an absolute fiasco and they have washed their hands of the G2X. We'll probably get CM8 though, and just like with 7 devs will use that as a springboard to create all kinds of things.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
What actually happened was that a few days ago I had a bit of a "mishap" (bit of an accidental hard pull of the phone off the desk) with the USB cable which caused the slot to become extremely loose, so much so that the cable would just fall out. I decided to send it back during the school holidays which will come in a weeks time as it still worked but was just very loose.

I did some research and found that Blackberry USB cables were the tightest, so I ordered one and it came today. This one fits very tightly even with this broken USB port. Its really a challenge to get it in and out.

So I'm now wondering whether to send it back or not? Is it worth the hassle?

I think maybe I should anyway, since I have a year of contract left with Vodafone. The day that the accident happened I used a pin to straighten that middle bit that's inside the port as that went too high up with the pull. I moved it down slightly.

Might that little bit break off in the future?

What do you think? Should I send it back for repair?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] openlatedotorg:
Honestly if you don't mind the time and effort it takes to get a replacement, I would just do it.

Maybe find out their policies on multiple replacements just incase something real bad happens in the near future :)

[Xoom General] freeky1:
I'm not sure that this model has an SD card slot. The case looks like it may be made more like some of the cheaper tablets. It seems to have much more rounded edges and a less-industrial look. The larger bezel probably means that the unit is larger.

Motorola is like some heartless pimp making his older "workers" walk the streets when they're way past their prime. Amazing they are warming over this model.

[Xoom General] Charlie_Don't_Surf:
Speaking for myself because I wondered the same thing he did. An IPS screen for a xoom means that there is now a manufacturer making these in the aspect ratio and size that would fit. The only things to worry about with this now is that I don't know whether it connects the same way or requires any driver (which I'm sure if it did could be pulled from the family xoom by our glorious devs). It would mainly be an issue of connection.

Parts generally find their way to ebay from asia so if the price is right it could well be worth it.

[Xoom General] starfcker69:
Discussion at Xoom forums. Looks like it's updated with IPS screen but bluetooth is dumbed down, and not sure if GPS is included. Also, more plastic, less durability. If true, they made this version less likely to stand up to little kids tossing it about? If they kept the original build and just added the IPS, reduced memory 32GB ->16GB, and retained other features it would be a good deal for the price. If the current roms don't work, being stuck with the kid friendly crap wouldn't be a good thing...
[Xoom General] FragDroidX:
According to Moto's sight, it is made of anodized aluminum and soft touch. So similar materials to the original Xoom. From the pictures provided it looks like the back is aluminum with soft touch around all edges for better grip. I must admit that I am a little miffed that the $380 Xoom gets a nice IPS display but the $800 Xoom got a lower quality VA display.

On a side note the colors and contrast on my Xoom seems better ( though not IPS better) with higher contrast and richer colors since it returned from its upgrade. I know its the same AUO MVA screen since the viewing angles are the same ( and from dmesg) so maybe some software tweeks in the latest version of Honeycomb.
[Xoom General] BossHaug:
Well I bought thexoom media edition and I love it

it seems slimmer than the original xoom and the power button it on the left hand side((horizontal)

[Xoom General] e.mote:
>What are the chances that the current 3.2 images would work on this?

If USB charging is allowed, then battery is the 3.7V variety instead of the orig's 7.4V. At the least, that means the battery level would be different, and you'd risk over/undercharging the battery with the orig's ROM. May even cause an explosion.

One thing not mentioned is whether the Family Ed has only b/g/n rather than the orig's dual-band a/b/g/n.

Moto repositioned the Xoom for the low-end ($350-400), so the upcoming Xoom2 (w/ ICS) will likely be at $450-500 base. It'd be curious if Moto will upgrade the Teg2 Xoom to ICS.

Anyway, I'm hoping ICS will catch on better than HC.

Ok I looked at the "Family Zoom" This is what I saw, no duel flash, no duel speaker, no card slot and only 16GB, and the only one looking at them. Had to twist the saleman's arm just for him to open the box. They were stacked inside a bottom cabnet!
[Xoom General] Homestar1217:
I just bought one of these. Other than a small bright spot on the screen, (probably going to exchange it because it bugs me), this is a nice device. Very snappy, though quadrant only hit 1550, which leads me to believe this is not a Tegra2 Processor (someone please share input on this). However it does say in the specs that it's an Nvidia GPU, so I'm not sure. The build quality is excellent. Not a hint of flex in the body, and the back is brushed aluminum with the sides and bezel made with good quality soft touch plastic. Loving Honeycomb, and this tablet does indeed have a microSD slot, but I can't get it to see my SD card...
