[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ace0603:
I am on my 3rd phone including the 1 sprint is sending. My first one did not have LOS, but was overheating. From what I am seeing not all phones have LOS.

I have gotten days with no LOS then other days with 10+. It is not fun.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leyvatron:
The only thing I get is that my battery is garbage. I dont think it overheats, I do have the Android OS bug that drains my battery.

LOS is not common on my end. Glad I don't get LOS 10+ times, I would be mad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M2Iceman:
I had my original one returned form Sprint after the 14 day warranty. I spoke to advanced support and talked circles around him on the problems Im having so they send a new one. Now this new on isnt so much loosing Wifi and 3G like the other one, but it is making me reset it a couple times a day. My original one couldnt keep a signal for more than 5 seconds. IDK if Im gonna return this one or not, I just want a phone that works!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swear0730:
I got my myself, wife and son this phone on October 1. By the next Monday I had returned my phone due to LOS and on that Tuesday my son returned his. My wife has yet to experience LOS.

My son and I both rooted our phones. I have read posts that people who NEVER have rooted their phone have had this issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skaboss610:
I have not rooted the phone and am running completely stock everything. I have major LOS issues. It seems they start mainly when the handoff from wifi to 3g/4g when leaving home or work and no longer being on the wifi network. I dont have too many issues if I keep wifi off all the time and just rely on the cell network for data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
I am working with someone in Dan Hessy's office and she has advised me there is nothing sprint can do without me taking this into a service center first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
LOLOL! You guys are all delusional. LOS is completely kernel dependent. It is not a hardware issue. There are way too many variables that could influence reception. It's people like you that raise our TEP costs. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ace0603:
Then fix the stock KERNEL.

Well lets see here. I paid for a phone and I pay for service. So I expect to be able to use my invesment the way it was intended. Losing my signal 5-10 times a day and having to constently reebot. Not a lot of fun in my book. And maybe unlike some people I can not constently watch my phone to check for LOS. In other words I may have LOS for hours before I even notice it.

I am not one to complain unless it is a legit issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmora01:
Sorry but if a pay $500 is bc I need a phone that works, with no this type of problems and I don't care if is hardware or is the kernel, I just need something that works and sprint and samsung are responsible and they need to fix it and we are not supposed to pay for their mistakes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ace0603:
I agree 100%. Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] manekineko:
Uhh he means it is kernel dependent as in custom XDA kernel dependent.

This problem almost never affects the stock kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ace0603:
Well considering my first phone was an overheated disaster (no root complete stock). The one I am on now had LOS prior to root. So I rooted to hope for a fix. Also read the LOS forums and a lot of un-rooted users getting LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Journeyjeans:
Not true, it affected mine, and I never rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
If that was true, I would be a happy customer. I am not rooted, completely stock, and I get LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Amd4life:
I 100% agree

the LOS is pretty bad on mine, stock or other kernel, its less on stock though

the only saving grace is that I have quick boot on my home page, and this phone reboots the fastest ive ever seen, on any of my smart phones in the past

I just get concerned sometimes, since I have kids that I may miss messages or something

its still a killer phone though,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
As much as I hate to say that replacing the phone isn't likely to fix the problem, I do encourage it so Sprint will push Samsung to fix this issue quicker. The more phone replacements, the more sprint spends money on replacing. Also, if it ends up costing more than simply fixing the problem in the first place, they'll be forced to fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Stock is not a phone that was rooted then loaded a stock kernel. Stock is an untouched device that has never been rooted in the first place. Based on my personal experience, true LOS with the zero and line do not happen on an out of the box untouched phone.

My untouched phone had no LOS for 4 days until it was rooted. Next 2 days had an LOS each day. Got a replacement phone last Friday. Kept it stock and haven't seen an LOS yet. That would be 6 days without an LOS.

I am convinced it is only happening on rooted or once rooted phones. If I get an LOS I won't be afraid to report it here but I am pretty confident I won't see it. I have used my phone in the exact locations and same instances so far and still no LOS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I agree. I'm totally stock and I've had the LOS problem mind that it was 3 times now 3rd time being today as I was walking back into the APT and the call just dropped as I looked at my phone there was ZERO signal when I had full bars just seconds before that. So far it's not been as bad as others are having so I've not really looked into getting the phone replaced yet but it's something that I do keep my eyes on to see if/when I'm getting it and how often it might show up.

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

I have a totally stock phone it's never been rooted since the day I got it almost 2 weeks ago and I have had LOS on it. I honestly do not think this is a rooted phone issue if that was the case I would never of had it at any point in time and I have. And like I said Stock never once rooted and have not thought about doing it yet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
So I am at a loss here. My problems started when I went from skyraider to nils gingersense. I made a back up of Skyraider and flashed nils. Everything went fine except that nils seemed to run slow and was buggy. I decided to go back to skyraider but first made a backup of nils for good measure. After the backup was complete (still in recovery) i went to backup/restore to restore my nandroid of skyraider.

Everything seemed to flash correctly but after it was done it began to reboot and I was given over and over the black screen followed by five buzzes and a blinking green led.

I decided to try to flash the stock image to at least get the phone to reboot. I successfully flashed the stock image but was me with the same black sreen, buzzes and blinking led.

I found online that if you reboot the phone and then plug your phone into the power cord when it hits the white splash screen but before it goes into the black screen, buzzes and blinking led, the phone will boot up properly. This did work but for some reason my phone will not recognize my internal memory or my SD card.

I was provided this link http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=33 to fix the black screen of death but I am at a loss.

It requires me to use ADB & Fastboot which I have never used and have no idea what I am doing here.

I have been trying to get this crap installed and working properly on my PC all morning for hours. It seems like I just need to get ADB & Fastboot working to run the command prompt listed in the prescribed fix to get my SD Card reading again on my phone and from there I should be able to re-root my phone and try to run my back up of skyraider again.

I believe I have installed the SDK package which if I am correct is supposed to contain ADB and there is something in that folder called fastboot but everytime I click on Fastboot a screen pops up and then disappears really quick and nothing seems to happen.

I try to run the command prompt prescribed to fix the SD Card but it says basically that I don't have the proper stuff installed on my computer.

I am at a loss here.

I need a clear step by step procedure to get ADB installed and Fastboot installed and working. I need someone to walk my dumb @ss through this or something. Any help would be very much appreciated as my phone is basically useless without my sd card and internal memory, I can't even take a picture without them working properly. Thank you in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentronin:
I just had this happen to my phone. I followed the instructions on this page http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK then went back and followed the instructions on http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=33. Phone works like a charm now. If you follow the directions you should be fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
I went to the first page you linked me to. I downloaded the Android SDK Windows folder. I opened up the SDK manager. The directions say to download "Android SDK Platform Tools, revision 4". Only problem is when I look through the list of options there isn't one with that specific option to download.

What do I do now?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentronin:
i think it's up to revision 7 now iirc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
Since my phone is running 2.2 would I want to download "SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 3"???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
Sorry for the questions, but this is super confusing to me since it seems this instructions are out of date?

I am pretty good at following directions but I am not finding what the directions are calling for in the places they say they should be located.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentronin:
"Android SDK Platform-tools, revision x", this and the "Google USB Driver package, revision x". install where suggested. then get the modified usb driver file.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1967ls2:
None of the options available are "Android SDK Platform-tools, revision x" They all say "SDK Platform Android X.X, API X, revision X" The "X's" are obviously various numbers.

That's where I am at. What do I do here?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentronin:
when you open the sdk manager and choose packages the first option should be "android sdk tools"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattsalerno:
I just got an Incredible 2 to replace my Nexus One (new job, new phone), and I'm trying to find a stable, updated and minimal ROM. I have been going through the DEV forum, and I see quite a few choices, but I don't see anything that's minimal. Something similar to this.

Thanks for any suggestions.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
I might give Liquid Smooth a try- AOSP GB 2.3.7 built from source and very minimal. It's in ROM Manager too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Im not a fan of rom manager, but I like most AOSP.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattsalerno:
It looks like a nice ROM, but I don't think it's minimal. Are there any other suggestions? In the mean time, I'll just root my current phone and remove the bloatware.

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
OMFG is probably the most minimal AOSP.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
But, I really not sure what you mean
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
We don't really have a pure vanilla gingerbread rom for the inc2 but Omfg is a great rom too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Well, there's OMGB, and there's OMFGB, the first being plain old gingerbread android, whereas the second is custom gingerbread.

Sent from my DINC2HD
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joshnichols189:
Yes we do.. OMGB is straight AOSP
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mattsalerno:
The other thing I need is a rom that does GSM so I have world phone capabilities. From what I read about Liquid Smooth, it does not work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Correction...except for the one i forgot, we have nothing :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RRF12:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandy_nocturnal:
Hey guys, i was updating the Radio and Danger SPL for my G1 and after i updated the Danger SPL my cell is bricked now... It does not load into recovery,it loads into the fastboot... I tried to flash the DREAMG.img but i get an error CheckSum Invalid!!!

DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF

HBOOT - 1.33.2005

CPLD-4

RADIO-1.22.12.29

Any suggestions....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
Change your title you only have what is considered a 'soft brick'

Checksum invalid means corrupt file, have you tried redownloading the .img and copying it to the sdcard. If still same error try a different usb cable.

I'm guessing your on Windows so go here http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ and install it and that way you can confirm md5 checksums :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
The stock image will be something like DREAMG.nbh, not .img. I think it will also re-flash your radio and SPL to stock, so I'm not sure why you would want to flash it after updating them.

I'm a little rusty on my G1, but I think that danger SPL will change your partitions, which probably causes the bootloops/boot to hboot. I think you want to flash a recovery and then flash a ROM.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandy_nocturnal:
Soft Bricked My G1!!!! Need Help...

I downloaded the DREAMG.nbh file about five times and tried to flash it and it gives me the same error again. All 5 from different sources.

The checksum is correct.

I uploaded the file using my card reader after completely formatting my SD card.

How do i flash a recovery with fastboot???

I thought the only way i can get it back was by flashing the DREAMG.nbh and getting the phone back to stock!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
If you are in fastboot, then you would type this from your computer:

fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_file.img

For the G1, Amon Ra 1.7.0 is/was popular.

This assumes that you have fastboot installted on your PC! Search around, there are plenty of guides here.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ljwnow:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
AT&T will put out a update announcement with change logs. Since there isn't any official announcement, we don't know what it is until someone applied it. And if you're rooted and made some changes, I'd be very careful about accepting any OTA updates. First OTA update for Captivate bricked a lot of rooted phones (and some stock, non-rooted phone as well).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I forgot about the password lock bug. This may be the update for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Probably is the fix for lock screen bug. The update does not always show up for all phones. It is rolling out in batches. You can try cleanup the cache data for the update app and try again. At least, that's how we did it in the past with Captivate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmnall:
might have bricked some stock phones but never installed on my captivate after rooting it. It would get to 50% and fail. That is why I refuse to do ota updates, safer either Odin or CWM or Kies but ota I dont ever trust lol

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mdg134:
I got tired of the ui sounds in CM7 beta so I converted my custom iphone sounds and put them on the Atrix. New unlock, lock, dock, undock, effect, camera, video, and low battery sounds. I left the keyboard sounds alone because i like them. Unzip the attached file and replace the ui folder with the new one. The location is system/media/audio/ui. Set ui folder permissions to rwxr-xr-x. all ogg permissions need to be rw-r--r--. Make sure to back up the original ui sound folder. Enjoy!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dranakin:
Just bought this phone new from AT&T (no commitment pricing), and it should be here within the next few days. I'm wondering if the phone out of the box includes a compatible SIM card? I'm coming from an iPhone 4, so I can't just stick my micro SIM card in if it doesn't. Even if I get a micro SIM to SIM adapter, would I be able to access the appropriate HSPA+ network with that? Much thanks if you can point me in the right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bykr_dude15:
Once you get the phone go to att and ask to get a new one for the phone they won't charge you anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Yes, AT&T always sends out a new SIM card with new phones. You can also ask for one at local AT&T store for free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dranakin:
Oh, good to hear. I wonder why the sell one then (whoops, can't post links to AT&T's site yet) or why others have to buy adapters?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadernal:
I came from iphone also, and was bummed to learn micro sim doesn't work in the s2. The phone will ship with a new regular sized sim inside. so if you dont need to use your iphone 4 anymore, or dont want to, call 611 from your iphone before you do anything with the s2 and it will walk you through getting the new sim activated.

I ordered a micro sim adapter and it works great. Kind of annoying that you can't get the adapter free from ATT. The micro sim works fine on hspa+ also. so if you want to swap back and forth you can, just know that ATT wont help you with this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dranakin:
Oh, right. People like to switch back and forth between phones, but I thought the data services weren't compatible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadernal:
I drop my micro sim into my s2 and I get H+ up top and data speeds and call quality are the same... I could be wrong tho...:confused:

in my case I need to be able to use the iphone 4 on network for development.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
H+ is defaulted because hspa+ uses the same towers as 3g and by assumption, most, if not all, 3g towers have been upgraded.

Call qualities aren't suppose to be any different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
Because sims aren't 'free'. They are given free as a courtesy under certain circumstances--eg new acts/upgs/swapping devices/defective sim..

I was trying to copy some text from a web page to save as a note. I double tapped the screen on a word to get a word selected, and kept trying to drag the markers to select the text on the whole page.

I gave up after multiple tries, as the dragging would sometimes clear the selected text and end the selection. I think I just missed the little marker to select text. I just could not get it to work.

I tried looking for something to select all the text on the web page (thinking I could delete what I did not want after pasting it). But, I could not find any such option.

I am using an HTC HD2 running American Android from Aug 28.

I looked for apps, but I cannot tell from the descriptions if any actually do this, and if they did would they be good at it.
