[G2 and Desire Z General] sparkfarmer01:
I have a Bell Desire Z bought in Dec.

The microphone has stopped working and I can return it for exchange.

I rooted the phone with gfree02 and made a backup with Rom Manager before the first call.

To return to stock, can I just restore the backup and write part 7 from gfree back to the phone.

The rom the phone was shipped with is not available anywhere for download.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] swee08315:
was the backup made with temp root? or full root?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Yes just flash a stock rom (if you don't have one now, though I'd still recommend flashing to get rid of su and SuperUser)

then temp-root with psneuter and run "./gfree -r part7backup-xxxxxxxx.bin"

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] Scythe01:
Something I noticed after "unrooting" one of my Zs (one for actual use, the other for trying ROMs or mods) was that I still had "Super CID", any way to change that so when it comes to sending it in for repairs, they won't notice that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Yes its not too difficult.

first thing you need to do is find your original cid

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=1 count=8 2>/dev/null; echo

that will give you your 8 character original cid.

then you need to run gfree with that switch:

./gfree -c ORIG_CID

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] sparkfarmer01:
Sorry I couldn't reply earler.

I figured to hell with it s-on and CID back to BM___001 and clean up the apps should be good enough. Well I can't get s on or rid of super cid.

I tried to restore my partition7 with no change.

I get no errors. gfree responds with where it is writing and what it is doing but nothing sticks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Make sure you are running a suitable rom version and radio version.

You need to be running 1.19 om a G2 or 1.34 on a DZ

and radio needs to be below 26.03.xx.xx

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] sparkfarmer01:
You called it. The problem was the radio.

I rolled it back to the stock rom radio. The one that was installed when the phone was rooted. The problem was I didn't realize that when I downgraded the rom the radio didn't change.

Now I get to start all over again. I might get it right this time..

Forgot to mention that they took the phone in the back for about 10 min after confirming the microphone was u/s. Didn't ask why.

My contacts continually force close. I have tried factory reset and have checked to make sure nothing else is syncing contacts except blur account. I don't have facebook installed either. Can anyone help me figure out why? Running rooted stock. 4.5.91
[Atrix 4G General] Swiftks:
Do you have yahoo contacts frozen? That causes contact issues for some odd reason.
[Atrix 4G General] mitchell.23:
No I didn't. Will give it a try and report back.
[Atrix 4G General] mitchell.23:
Unfortunately that didn't seem to completely help. Now it seems to be only certain contacts that cause the fc or if I try to add a contact from my phone. I deleted the offending contacts and re added them through gmail but still no luck. Its only 3 contacts that I have found that are causing the fc.
[Atrix 4G General] mandrsn1:
The leaked ICS version of Google+ causes some FCs of contacts.
[Atrix 4G General] mitchell.23:
I am running that though its not contacts from that which are causing problems. But I will try installing older version to see if that helps and report back.
[Atrix 4G General] mitchell.23:
That did it! Thanks so much!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkandzelda:
Hello,

Just got a Play today for use with emulators as it's perfect for physical buttons. But to my surprise there is a lag in it and I mean big time.

By default it's set to auto frame skip max 2, if i leave it like that then the game looks like its jumping really badly but it sounds fine. If i set the skipping to 0 then it runs smoothly but theres this annoying poping and clicking sound on the speakers.

Some people might say i should talk to the developer of the emulators. But this isnt an issue with them, as i dont see any other users with these issues and I don't really belive them to be true when lower devices run these emulators without issues.

I'm running stock formware 2.3.3 latest update. I havent removed any system apps at all literally just bought the play, updated software, loaded emulators and discovered this.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihouma:

Thanks that one looks really nice and seems to work better than Snesoid! :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RottenFoxBreath:
Just remove some of the stuff on your homepages, like the game launchers, and the Timescape widget, also the photo and video one too, and the emulators should run better.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkandzelda:
Hey man thanks I removed all of my widgets from the home screen but it had no effect.

I'm making a video to demonstrate the problems. I'll add it to youtube shortly hopefully people can then tell if it's normal or not.

EDIT: Heres the video

[YOUTUBE]ef2d_51Ivg4[/YOUTUBE]

Description:

In this video I play Gameboid with pokemon first showing it with frameskip set to auto and 0, and you need to listen carefully to the sound so you can hear that it crackles all the time which is very annoying. I then change the frameskip to 2 which is the default and you can then see that the game skips and jumps and is just too laggy to be belivable.

After that i try out Gensoid and you can see the same results from me running sonic. I get this result with every game i try. I also tried md.emu for sega but it was better but still skipped when the frameskip wa set to auto.

If anyone knows what I can do to solve this please let me know iw ould greatly aphiciate it as i bought the play JUST for emulators, if it doesnt play them then its totally a waste of money for me.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RottenFoxBreath:
As soon as I got mine, I updated to 2.3.4, and tried Outrun(mame), Sonic 1, and 2 Gensoid), and Contra(Snesoid), both had bad sound, just like on my old phone, which really wasn't up to the job, but on removing Timescape, and that stupid photo and video widget, and the emulators virtual pads, they ran like a charm, Gensoid, Snesoid, and Mame4Droid all work fine, with no sound issues now.

Mame4Droid, I unticked Threaded Sound, as it seemed to cause issues, the others were left with stock settings, bar the virtual screen buttons removed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkandzelda:
I see, I was thinking that i'm the only one with the issues. Well in the end I went to the MIUI build on here and went away from the 'oid' series. Belive it or not but I found Genesis A.D. and MD.Emu to be faster and full speed or at least 99.99%. genplusdroid had a problem it was running slow and also the sound was a tone lower.

Also Snes A.D. seems to be full speed with Chrono Trigger sound included. Have yet to try Snes9x.

SNES: check

SEGA: check

GBC: check

PSX: check

MAME: havent tried

ATARI: havent tried

N64: check

GBA: no dice still lags with gameboid and gba player lite is jumpy, anyone know of another?

FPSE has a bad case of crackling sound... but only if the app is on the background. While you're actually using it there is no problem.

So I tried downloading various files and filetypes from.different websites who all use either Megaupload or 4shared and they all (all) have been empty files that have had blank names. What's going on?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kiwiwiwi:
I had the same issue. The only browser that worked was the opera mobile.

Every filehoster has worked with that browser so far.

Hope I could help!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Subplanar:
Thank you, i will try this workaround and hopefully we will hear of a solution.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Try. Going to the browser settings and clear cookies and cache. Then try downloading again.

Never had a problem with these myself.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
Never had a prob on mine
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] zhezhan:
Sometimes you have to rename the file - back to original
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
I thought that the download tool from the standard browser is the problem because normally it isn't aloud by most of this sides to re-connect (I use another browser for such downloads like Firefox or Opera).

But i must wrong when I see that others didn't have here a problem :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ryno_666:
I know exactly what you are referring to, I had same issues here our devices won't be properly recognized at some sites on stock browser so clearing cashe or using alternative browser gets you around this. Also some sites will not allow access by proxy you would in fact have to use home IP or secured network.....I've downloaded alot straight to my flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Subplanar:
If that's true, then its a bummer, because this browser is otherwise pretty good. I hate to have to switch around.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myke66:
This here, i tried xScope, Dolphin, Stock, and Skyfire, and the only browser to work consistently was Opera.

Also, on a side note, Opera is SO MUCH faster than any other android browser. Page scrolling is super smooth, and loads quick as hell. I was very surprised going to Opera on a whim to try it out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Maybe its just me, but I don't see this as a big enough issue to drive my choice of browsers. If I have big files or lots of things to download I jump on my PC and drop them in my Dropbox so they are always there for my phones and tabs. Every browser has it quirks, even the desktops. The new browser in honeycomb is faster and has good integration with Chrome desktop. Coming soon will be Chrome for Android. It all depends on what creature features you like and are most comfortable with. I know it's annoying when you need something and it doesn't work but I don't do a lot of megaupload sharing from my tablet and when I have used it I haven't seen a problem with the stock browser.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] myke66:
It depends on your uses. For me, i usually use the tablet when my laptop is either doing something else, or out of reach, so i do everything on it. As such, alot of what i do, requires downloading from file hosting sites. You'd be surprised whats hosted on them ;)

With that being said, downloading an apk on the laptop, then moving to dropbox and retrieving on tablet is a waste of time when it could take all of 30s to be done via the tablet to begin with.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Subplanar:
The only thing that makes me hesitant to use a new browser is that i like how the stock one integrates with sense and all that. This is probably just me being petty, though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mattrb:
Ive never used opera for file hosting sites but I do use firefox. I use to firefox nightly apks and it works like a charm. Firefox (fennic) is the best browser because it has the adblock plus. Also use auto pager if you use rlslog etc. Amazing.

Hey guys,

I want to try out custom ROM's but not sure if I'm going to like them or not... If I don't like it can I return my phone 100% back to stock gingerbread 2.3.3 and receive OTA updates etc ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtmaster303:
Of course you can.

People switch roms all the time.

Some even have an addiction, to be honest...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shadow-Nexus:
If you are rooted at 2.3.3 you can install clockworkmod recovery which is available through rom manager and with it you make a backup of the stock rom

With that backup you can restore it whenever you want to

Make sure you wipe all your data, cache and dalvik cache before flash a custom rom
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Yup, if you're rooted, you can use Clockwork to make a backup of your current ROM, which will preserve a snapshot of your phone exactly as it is now (with user settings, apps, SMS messages, everything).
[G2 and Desire Z General] silverwind:
Restore a stock rom from a back up made by Clockwork doesnt unroot and S-ON.

It will only restore stock ROM. To unroot and S-ON, there will be another effort :)

I'm in a similar situation with the OP. I'm with stock 2.3.3 and I want to try new ROMs. The problem is that, from what I have read, in order to root and unlock I first have to downgrade. Is there a way to temproot now so that I can install clockworkmod recovery and keep a snapshot before I downgrade?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tgreen47:
When I bought this HTC G2 it was already rooted and running CyanogenMod 6. something. I updated it to 7.0.3 a while back.

¡Josh!, for information only...

Your v4 Eclair versions was not based on my v4 version. I have decompiled it and I found that you have used the old SE Launcher ("2.0.A.0.20").

The v4 versions I have made was based on newest SE Launcher ("2.1.A.0.10") ripped from my Xperia Mini ST15i device with android 2.3.4 (see img in my first post) with dependencies files.

So, for those who are using v4 Eclair version from ¡Josh!, know they are using the old launcher version.
