You have my full suport and I'm buying a Thunderbolt today solely on this thread (: (well it made my decision to get it afterall is more accurate) Keep up the awesome work and don't let haters hate. you go dude!
[Thunderbolt General] twistedumbrella:
Well I can't say it is the best device. I have been at odds with it since day one. I can say the extended battery pays off and I have never second guessed that purchase.

It is a good choice if you get a good deal on it, but I would never recommend anyone buying it for the original release price. I would have bought a Droid 3 personally, but it wasn't there when the decision had to be made.

Keep in mind, I come from a long line of Motorola devices with hardware keys and good battery life. I also come from a long line of disgust for HTCs definition of "fair tradeoff" with things like battery and screen design.
[Thunderbolt General] famester:
So to install this do I just flash the sdk followed by the kernel sorry kind of a newb here

Sent from my thumb to keyboard combo.
[Thunderbolt General] twistedumbrella:
I would recommend doing a backup and flashing it to a slot on bootmanager, as it isn't entirely the most stable thing available.

All you have to flash is the build. The kernel is only there if anyone wants to edit or change it. The best bet is the base to try it out. That is the more stable of the two. The port is what is being tested and worked on.
[Thunderbolt General] famester:
Thanks gonna try it out right now.

any way to get a running change log?
[Thunderbolt General] twistedumbrella:
Once things start running more than just enough to look around, there will be one. Right now the touch works, apps launch, you can see what is there. It isn't really a phone yet.
[Thunderbolt General] c2thej:
Sweet good work. Keep it up
[Thunderbolt General] famester:
Is the touch supposed to take two fingers to select anything it was hard to unlock the screen. Just asking cause I wasn't sure if something weird happened. I used the thunderbase one not the sdk
[Thunderbolt General] tarends:
im using your dump as an updated base for the Sensation, i hope you are ok with it as i had problems myself with getting the SDK 14 build to boot with graphics. and with yours i just needed to swap a few files around. and i managed to get it to boot with graphics.
[Thunderbolt General] twistedumbrella:
Currently, yes.

Go for it and let me know if I can be any help.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtodi:
I am running the new ROM by CM7 and loving it. I want to update to the 1022 release and wanted to know about the importance of the sequence of events.

If I re-Odin the modem (EH17) should I do it before or after the install?

Should I wipe data before clearing the caches or after? Does it make a diff?

I tried twice to install the 1022 version but the phone didn't like it, in several ways, mostly no wifi, no rotation, and lots of FC's.

I want to try again but want to be sure the sequence is correct (if it makes a difference). Any help out there?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
I flashed it right over no problms. Just flash it twice
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devtodi:
Flashing twice: magic! Thanks for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] m0biusace:
Hello all,

Running UnNamed 1.04v with entropy's latest (10/20) kernel.

This problem also happened with Unnamed 1.03, with entropy's 10/16 kernel.

This problem also happened with a completely stock ROM, rooted with the CWM kernel.

USB tethering works as normal.

Wifi tethering works sporadically. My laptop can connect (windows 7, lenovo X201), it works for a few minutes, then ceases to work. The WIFI icon gives a yellow exclamation mark saying that it has no internet connection.

I reinstalled windows 7 recently, the same thing occurs.

Updated the intel WIFI 6300 drivers, same thing occurs.

I changed DNS settings to OpenDNS, the same thing occurs.

What leads me to believe this problem isn't because of my laptop is the following...

When tethering ceases to work on my laptop and I try to disable tethering on the phone under settings>wireless and network>tethering and portable hotspot, it takes around 5-7 seconds then says "Error". The WIFI tethering icon remains in the notification bar as if tethering is still enabled. If I check the box next to tethering to "enable" it again, tethering finally turns off and the blue tethering icon removes itself from the notification bar.

If I turn off tethering before it craps out on my laptop it turns off normally within 1-2 seconds without saying "error."

This has been reproducible over 15 times.

It happens whether or not the hotspot is encrypted with WPA2, the SSID is hidden or not, or is completely open.

Any ideas why this is? WIFI tethering was rock solid on my old infuse 4G, and it really comes in handy during lunch time at my university when the wifi is saturated to the point where its completely unusable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
logcat/dmesg
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sopdogg:
Mines does the same thing. USB tethering works without issues, however wireless gives me issues. When I connect via wireless, it works for about 30 seconds then my laptop gives me a limited connectivity signal (tablet just connects but no internet). Tried turning off my wireless hotspot and I got the same symptoms you had, with the Error.

Running stock rooted with latest Entropy DD experimental Kernel. Tested on different kernels and the same thing happens (ZedoMax kernel and Entropy non-experimental kernel).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
There was a report a while back that stock wi-fi tethering will cease to work if your phone screen turns off (even though you have wi-fi sleep policy set to never). Sounds like another bug in the current Samsung ROM. And in that case, the guy paid for tethering plan and is using the phone totally stock without rooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sopdogg:
That is definitely unfortunate. I'll have to test it with the screen to see if that works. I tried to upload a screenshot but for some reason it won't allow me to post .png images. That is also crappy because that's what our screen shots are formatted as! (OT - anyone know how to change this?)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35462802/SC20111025-085244.png
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Again, logcat/dmesg of the errors. If a person has a problem, and it might be kernel related, it isn't going to get fixed without either a logcat/dmesg or the ability for the kernel developer to reproduce the problem.

Every time I go for dinner at the local taco place, I tether my Tab 10.1 and the phone's screen remains off. Therefore, kernel developer CANNOT reproduce this issue. So the backup is logcat/dmesg.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Dungeon47:
Sounds like WIFI sleep policy is shutting it off with screen off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
I need to clarify: it's not my issue (I do not use tethering as of now) and I have no way to verify or test because I haven't rooted my phone yet. I only need to root my if I need to enable tethering. But bugs like this doesn't worth my trouble to root the phone.

Here the original thread that reported this issue: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1291814

It is probably one of those bugs that affects some but not others, e.g AP mobile data usage bug and WiFi sleep policy stuck in NEVER even if you change to turn off while sleep.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sopdogg:
Tested to see if I had a screen off bug but that wasn't the case.

Now I need to learn how to use alogcat...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
wifi sleep policy only affects when the device is using wifi in client mode

If you don't have problems, logcat/dmesg aren't of much use.

I can already get reference "known working" logcats/dmesgs from my own device. :)

Edit: Oh wait, in your case it's a problem whether screen on or off? misread you. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sopdogg:
No problem, thanks for looking into my issue!

My issue is that wifi tethering doesn't work at all. USB tethering works without any hiccups. Error message appears after a short time and/or when I turn off the wireless hotspot.

I sent you a PM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] manbeer:
I am having the same issues, regardless of rom /kernel

Does anyone know if this phone supports infrastructure wifi when the tethering is working properly? Trying to plan a car computer with a galaxy player 5 up front and dlna hard drive in back and hopefully tie it all together w the gs2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] m0biusace:
Entropy, i'll be PMing you a logcat in a few minutes.

Edit: PM sent.

ALSO: this problem occurs if the screen is on or off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddies92:
Every once in a while this "download mode" comes up. I had left my phone in my room and it died while i went quickly to the neighbors. When I came back, I found my phone in this download mode. Ive seen it before and I get to it randomly. Any insight?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Blaze9:
When you turn on your phone by holding the vol+/- and power with the USB plugged in, this is what shows up. So I'm guessing that's what's happening.. I'm not sure. Wait for an expert on the subject.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddies92:
heres the thing. My phone was completely untouched and the charger was not plugged in. Its a totally different download mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karth500:
So, I've seen this particular download mode come up when I go into download using the adb reboot download command. The volume up-down method brings up the download mode with the number of flashes and the other warnings. Not sure what the difference is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vineethrp:
Is it a stock ROM or you have any other ROMs and a custom kernel? AFAIK, The only way to enter download mode other than the physical key combination is to let the kernel know before it is rebooting - like 'adb reboot download' and using some custom options found in other ROMS..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddies92:
Sorry, i have Serendipity 8 and kernel is Entropy. Ive experienced the same on UnNamed as well. Not a big deal. Its just a pain having to pull the battery because its a tad hard to remove it from the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vineethrp:
I think you don't need to pull the battery out. Keep pressing the power button until the phone switches off. Again press the power button so that the phone boots again.. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eddies92:
I tried that with no luck lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
This does work to reboot the phone without pulling the battery. You can also hold the power button until you see the first boot logo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kytrauma:
I have no problem rebooting from download mode by holding the power button. Usually takes about 10-15 seconds to work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] morenone:
I recently rooted my incredible 2 successfully and got CM7 on with no problem. I was trying to install a new splash screen, but accidentally installed my existing radio (1.09.01.0722) instead. Now I can't get any wireless signal or dial *228. I've tried different radios, but none of them work now. Any ideas?

thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
You're able to still use the phone, but you don't get any data or anything?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
It's not bricked if you can turn in on.....

Did you remove the radio file after you flashed?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] iceman99393:
Had same issue on build 109 I placed a call and it fixed it. Yes placed a call with no 3g or 1x and no baseband showing in software. 3g then showed up and baseband updated.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
Ya that's what I was thinking too. Didn't make sense to me about what he was saying.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
Try reflashing your original stock ROM and everything... Do the Ruu if nothing else works.. you'll lose root, but your phone will most likely work again... Then if you really want to, reroot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AZKJS:
This is what I was about to say. seems like your only option and hope it fixes it.

I always thought that the flashing your Radio twice thing was just a rumor cause I can never find any answer as to why this would brick your device.

guess it doesn't care it just does!

Hope you can get an insurance replacement being rooted. Verizon wouldn't even cover my week old battery that was bad from the factory and wouldnt take a complete charge because the VZW dip behind the counter noticed the custom boot screen and started asking questions. guess I should have hidden my mods!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I really wish you guys would look up the definition of "brick" if you don't understand what a BRICK is. please refer:

Bricked

Bricked refers to ANY hardware that is unable to start up due to bad software; Usually because of a bad software flash, a modification done improperly, loss of necessary files, being overheated from overclocking or overuse if the item is a lemon, a short-circuiting, or a Trojan that deletes necessary files for a few examples.

The noob bricked his PSP because he took out the battery while running a firmware update.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] morenone:
Thanks for all the help. I tried switching to a different rom and that worked. I'm afraid to go back to CM7, but MIUI works just fine, so I'm sticking with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
No reason to be afraid... Do a full wipe and everything.. will he just fine.. and my real advice.. stay away from radios...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Geerboy:
I've tried, Debated, installed, formated, reinstalled, reflashed....every different ROM / kernal / radio that I can find on the internet for this phone.

Its a great phone for a user that will NEVER want anything more than a Phone....but......

.....I turned on my INCREDIBLE today and updated it to the latest MIUI and just generally brought it back to current ROM technology and was just amazed...

...so like I said...I gave the Charge a shot, nobody got behind it like I hoped and i'll sell it...use the incredible til I decide on weather or not to get the nexus prime, or I dare say it an iPhone (highly unlikely) but i'm tired of all the fragmentation in the droid world...was WAY WAY WAY better when there were just 5 or 6 "KINGS" out there....

I really don't know what the carriers or device makers are thinking...did apple's success on ONE device not teach the industry anything? Its a better model long term...PICK ONE maybe a few...but jesus...30 phones a year is ridiculous...does nothing besided upset your customers that you captured from a very real competitor....that is dagerous.

I'm still android...I just hope the nexus prime gets a HUGE following....just want a following that my Incredible still seems to have...but it is falling.

Anyway...i'm rambling and frustrated that my year and a half old phone can outperform my 4 month old phone in EVERY category but one 4G, which I can live without.

Haven't made the decision complete yet....but I just don't know what else to do...anybody feel the same?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jborch8:
Definitely feel the same man. Especially with soooooo many phones being released. Quality, not quantity.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
Crazy you did this. I just traded my Charge for the Incredible 2 today to keep as my backup to the galaxy nexus. Charge got pretty pathetic.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
Only outperforms because of 4g? Forgotten about our better screen, hdmi out, better camera and better audio chip, have we?

I definitely understand where you're coming from though. I used to have a fascinate which ended up getting all that good aosp stuff and for that reason (along with the form factor) part of me does regret switching the two.

I plan on doing something similar by selling the charge and using an old smartphone (Htc vogue with cm7 b*tch!) before getting the GN.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
Yup same deal. This phone has a nice screen.. thatsit. M wife has my old incredible and I keep it up to date for her. Its so much better. It is the amoled one and it rocks. Ya charge has hdmi out.. when was the last time any of you actually used it for a purpose other than showing it off? Lol.

But why the nexus? Its another samsung ..been dissapointed with all samsungs so far. Who cares about ics . We are flashers we don't care about stock software. Besides.. I like gps's that work.. u know what im talking about.

The htc rezound is what im going for... gonna go back go my htc roots. Like you said.. the incredible has a huge following. Htc sense is bad ass and 3.5 is going to be sense sweetness. Before december there will be an ics rom for it..

Im done with samdung.....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
It would be nice to see something new and refreshed come out for this phone. Seems like most of the dev support we had jumped ship to the bionic.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kalibar:
I stick with this ****burglar of a phone because Ev-DO is garbage in my area whereas LTE is actually pretty easy to get ahold of. Also, I love having a Wolfson DAC and Voodoo Sound.

I got my buddy onto a DroidInc with CM and he really loves it, but it wouldn't have been the right decision for me. I'm paying Verizon prices for LTE, and it's pretty clear that being forced to tolerate a heaping helping of Samsung's incompetence is collateral damage from that choice.

In a year or whatever when this phone has finally evolved into a seasoned specimen that runs CM properly and is way out of the limelight, it will be seen positively -- people will be quick to recommend it as a solid phone with LTE, a good DAC, and a non-PenTile AMOLED screen that you can pick up on craigslist for about a hundred bucks.

"Just make sure you load CyanogenMod as soon as you get it home," they'll say. "The stock software is really a mess."

It's just too bad that most of us here voluntarily subsidized this flaming leprosy parade for $250+ and a monster contract.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SOTK:
The Charge is only my second Android phone. The Fascinate was my first. Although my experience is only based on Samsung, I still think Samsung offers superb phones and I will continue to buy them. I've played around with other phones. My brother had an old Eris and a buddy had an EVO off Sprint. I like the screens on Samsung better and I like how easy it is to Flash Roms. Its true that official OS releases are slow but I blame Verizon more than Samsung. Maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't had too many issues with my Charge and like it. I've enjoyed the screen, the audio, the physical buttons, and my phone runs pretty fast with lagfix. I have this phone tweaked out pretty good. Yes, it would be nice to have also but can't complain too much how it is running at present. I've experienced virtually none of the problems others report. I haven't had to turn my phone in to Verizon tech or anything .....same phone I got from the get go. I'm not oblivious to some of the complaints. I just don't have any of my own really. I like it although I will be going to the Nexus as soon as it comes out but not based on a dislike of my Charge. I just like to upgrade every year. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
Yes screens on sammys are awesome. But easy to flash roms? No.its not hard I guess.. but compared to other phones its a *****.

Take the dinc for isntance. All roms flashes through rom manager. You have 50+ roms all instantly available to you. With the push of a single button you can load a new rom... don't like it and want your old one back? No problem push another button and go right back to what you were just running

Hell you could have a differrent rom for every day of the week if you wanted. Do a little playing with the other heavy hitting smartphones. Real playing .. buy one.. own it. Use it as your own. And you will agree.

The sole reason I got the samsung was so I could have first hand experience with one. I like to know about everything out there based on my own opinions and not others. I had friends with samsungs.. the captivate and the fascinate and one with the infuse. So I got the charge to see what the fuss was about.

The result of 6 months of ownership? Nice screen... the rest is **** tho

I've tried and tried to like it.. if there weren't so many other phones that were better, it would be a fantastic phone..

Samsung has disappointed me with their android devices. Just google "samsung gps problems". If your phone doesn't lock in <5 sec inside your house using standalone gps accurate to 3 feet.. why not? The other phones on the market do. Hell this one has actually locked on my position.. accurate to 10 feet.. and been moving with me down the road.. the only problem was it had me 500 miles away.. how is that even possible lol.

Ya.. this will be the last samsung phone I own. Will only own samsung tvs tho :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
The nexus has a pentile screen...

[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
He's talking about the charge. No pentile here, folks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
He was referring to Super AMOLED Plus. And yes, Nexus has pentile, but from the reports that I've read, higher resolution at 720p seems to cover that up.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
You can't see a sub pixel arranment when there's more subpixels per inch than the human eye can detect. People who are fussing about it are retarded :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I simply noted it because he specifically refered to it while also saying the prime would be his next choice. I saw contradiction and called it.

I think people are blinded by ics. The hardware is crap in comparison to others.

[Verizon Droid Charge] kalibar:
Yeah the screen on the Galaxy Nexus is going to be completely fine, I was referring to the Droid Charge's non-PenTile as a perk compared to other similiarly-valued Verizon devices -- specifically, the Bionic, the X2, the Fascinate, and the first-revision DroidInc.

I have the sneaking suspicion that once the Galaxy Nexus hits you're going to be able to buy secondhand Bionics, Charges, and Thunderbolts for pretty equivalent low prices. The GN looks killer, but its existence isn't going to retroactively remove lovely hardware features (S-AMOLED+, Voodoo Sound) from the Charge. And the Charge certainly sucks now, but it's only going to get better with time.

Funny how the people who pay the highest prices get the ****tiest experience, and the ones who saunter in a year late after the wonderful development community has beaten the phone into something usable get the best experience for the lowest price.
