Remember when Ubuntu was ported to the HD2? That didn't turn out too well. of course, this is canonical, they seem to be good at making childish UIs that would do well on small screens. But if you ask me, this will (would) be a terrible failure. Android is Linux, is open source, and is maturing nicely. This will be skinned vista (Okay, I have strong opinions; ubuntu is barely scratching the top of linux. It's like GNU/Linux for kids.) and it will be new; software takes time to mature before it becomes good. Reimplementation of several Linux services and prioritizing the UI framework to provide a nice experience on a phone, as has been done on Android; but from scratch, kernel up, is a process that would take years, then years to mature, meanwhile Android will be growing exponentially. I wouldn't put it past Canonical to make a stupid decision like this, though.
[General Topics] rkumbhar:
welcome ubuntu to mobile OS world .. hope we will get it for free..

They should stick to desktop/server environment.

Android is already maturing and stable. Ubuntu won't do very well (on mobile devices, unless some manufacturers gives major backing and support.)

[Desire General] hairywombat1:
While i was updating one of my apps my phone went to a black screen and restarted i think, i wasn't paying attention to it at the time. And when it came back on none of my apps on my sd card were available. Also im unable to mount or unmount my sd card. I also restarted and removed the battery and sd card, which did nothing.
[Desire General] hairywombat1:
I just tried a different sd card and it worked. Is it possible that my sd card just died?
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Does any other device (Phone, PC card reader) reads your card?

Try re-format it (use 3rd party app).

If not working, then it's dead.
[Desire General] vbz1312:
I have the same problem with my SD card.

A formatted and go from zero.
[Desire General] madffrogs:
I've had something like this, my card seemed to format itself while in use.

I just reformated the lot and repartitioned using gparted and everything was fine,

think it was down to a dodgy app? on my phone because after i deleted a few apps it never happened again.
[Desire General] hairywombat1:
What would be an app that would reformat it? And i tired a diffrent sd card in my phone and it read that one so its just my sd card.
[Desire General] madffrogs:
Think it was a dodgy copy of swift key that caused it, left that off and its never happened again.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jon.01:
My charger that came with the SGS4G is not an official Samsung one. This is because I bought my phone used and it came with a 3rd party charger.

The charger is just a one-piece charger. I cannot remove the cable. It says:

AC Charger

Model: Micro USB

INPUT: AC 90V-240V

OUTPUT: DC 4V-8V

Can I use this charger with other phones that charge over MicroUSB? Do I need to make sure the other phone can handle 4V-8V?

Also I intend to buy another charger as backup, but I have this adapter which I plug in my USB cable into and then it goes to the power outlet. When I used this, my phone acted very erratic, swipes would not register correctly, phone became unstable, etc. Any reason for why this would happen?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] avrillapete:
It's sounds like your generic USB charger, and should charge anything that would charge if you were to plug it into a computer's usb port. I have a belkin usb plug, except it has a usb port on it instead of a cable, and it charges everything, even PS3 controllers lol.

Who makes this charger? If it's a super cheapo, the power may be dirty and may cause your phone to act funny.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jon.01:
It is some cheap USB to AC charger I got from Dealextreme. Never had a problem with my old Huawei U8100 or DSLite.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sublimespot:
I actually like to use chargers that are identical to stock one or better, I actually use the gf's old iphone charger: more amp
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
I use the same charged that came with my old pre plus. Use it for all my phones actually. Even my touchpad and nook color. Works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
The quality of the charger can make a huge difference.

Honestly at the moment I'm using a droid bionic charger lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] vgcraze:
Yes and yes to the first two questions but it normally isn't a problem depending on what is charging.

To the third, I had that same problem with my ZuneHD and a generic manufacturer's cable and I still don't know why.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bobkoure:
The major issue is "are the data lines shorted together?". If they are not, your phone (and other devices that use USB for power) will see it as a simple USB port and limit draw to what a PC USB port can supply (not much).

There are also some ways (particular resistors used across... pins 1 and 3?) to indicate how high the charger can go.

Most of the USB car chargers (at least the ones with USB ports) do NOT do this, so they take forever to charge a phone.

Easiest way to tell: with the charger charging, go into device settings. If it says "Charging(AC)" you're good; "Charging(USB)" not so good.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
Flash the recovery again. Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.

Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.

Frys Electronics is advertising the GS2 for $199.99. Took the ad into best buy and they priced matched. $80 + the tax back in my wallet.

Frys sale valid through 11/3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Costco+Amazon have it for $150? Costco also includes a case and car charger...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Sam's Club \ Walmart sells it for $150. Best Buy matched Sam's for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] buckshotzero:
Correction

Sorry for the type-o......Frys has on sale for $119.99.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
OK that makes more sense. Sam's only charges tax on the sale price too so keep that in mind. Either way, good price at Fry's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] matt310:
If you buy one of these phones from Frys, or Best Buy, and five months down the line the speakerphone stops working, for example. Can you call AT&T and request a warranty replacement? Or do they somehow know the phone wasn't purchased through them, even though it's got their branding all over it?

Also, why can't I find the GS2 at any stores in Southern California?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cybertrip:
Shouldn't matter where you bought it and they may not even do anything anyway without insurance. You may get stuck calling Samsung for warranty service.

Try Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. I got my SGS2 at the Sam's Club in Palmdale for $148 and change + tax.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hashish16:
Does amazon price match?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] antuus:
Keep on mind that best buy's price match is only good if the store you want to match has a location within 25 miles of the store you are at. You might get lucky and get a clueless csr but I doubt it. (There are no Fry's in South Carolina.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetboy02125:
$80 out of the door price

I told the guy to do a Walmart Price match 149.99 just to save 50 bucks. However, the sale guys kept taking on the phone (with his girlfriend may be ) and only punched in 49.99 + 30 tax = $80. I kept my mouth shut just to save another $100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Sweet, thanks for this

BB-"oh.....*looks at receipt* i guess you're right. I can take care of that for you"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rayleterleir:
So I was fiddling with my US Wifi Flyer, and in the end I gave up and reflashed stock HC onto it. However now, for some reason it won't boot normally, it'll only boot into the bootloader until I drop into fastboot and type "fastboot oem boot". Any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
We will need more details of what fiddling you have done. Its very possible to get a non-matched bootloader, recovery module, and system in which case you cannot boot any more and may find the device in a boot loop.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rayleterleir:
So far its mainly been experimenting with trying to make gold cards (which all failed), i've run a few RUUs which have failed with Error 130, I reflashed the HC boot, cwm recovery and reinstalled HC via cwm. Thats about it, I don't know enough to go any furthur then that. Everything I did try failed to flash when I was experimenting, so I reverted and as far as I know back to running the honeycomb set (HBoot .06, HC Boot, HC Radio, CWM, HC ROM stock)

EDIT: Bootloader is unlocked but S-ON
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rayleterleir:
No ideas? I kinda miss using my flyer :)

[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Thanks to a fellow user from Droid 3 fourm - The Solutor - this issue can finally be fixed very easy and have your phone displaying signal strenght in UMTS mode properly!

So all you need to do is edit build.prop in /system and change the line

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1

to

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0

and then reboot the phone. After this, the "stollen" 2-3 bars from signal strenght will be back and you will finally get normal signal reading on your Droid 2 Global while in UMTS mode.

As an extra - your signal bar indicator switches from 4 bar to 5 bar. Check the screenshot - not just 4 but freaking awesome 5 full bars! Cheers!

Also a bit confused with me running revolt does that mess up me just flashing that and it has the stock boot image.

I've Revolted have you?? Sent via tapatalk plugin.
[LG Revolution] xjli:
i'm having issues with CWM... i flashed back to my stock+root backup and every time the OTA update tries to install it boots to clockwork. ran the exitrecovery.zip in clockwork and it still boots to clockwork. i cleared the cache/dalvik again, the OTA is downloading gonna try it again...

Hey guys, I have a new package for root for those having problems. I need testers though. If you can come on irc in about 20 minutes. It has the drivers in it also.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
You need to use Revo toolkit to get cwm off and the stock recovery back on. from there it will run fine. Then you just have to reroot using MT's modified rooting .bat file
[LG Revolution] xjli:
How? I'm pretty good at this stuff but i feel like a moron bc i can't figure this out.
[LG Revolution] xjli:
Got it. I guess the first release of revo toolkit didn't have the flash stock recovery option. Can't wait to finally have gb on this thing..
[LG Revolution] xjli:
Still reboots to cwm... it won't flash stock recovery. Any ideas?
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Go into revotoolkit, Click install clockwork recovery, it should pop up to choose !!revo_stock!! or 4.0.0.2. Choose the revo stock. After it runs, click to check which recovery is installed and make sure it says revo stock, then reboot.
[LG Revolution] xjli:
It doesn't..still says 4.0.0.2... how long should it take to 'install?'
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
OP updated for the new packages from mtmichaelson
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
It depends on you connection speed. If it's 3g a while. I recommend doing it on 4g or wireless. You also need busybox installed in the right location. Install the version 1.17.1 in system/bin. The newer versions of busybox may work now but they previously did not.

[LG Revolution] i_t_n:
Ok so I'm a complete and utter noob when it comes to CWM etc. Never had an android device before this one, never flashed a ROM.

I've got a pretty good grasp of whats going to be happening here, but I'm a little skiddish.

I'm on stock GB with root, at the point where i'm supposed to install CWM with the RevoToolkit. In the RevoToolkit instructions, thecubed says "If no version is listed, STOP and post here.". Well, no version is listed, presumable because i'm on a GB stock recovery. Do I stop here, or do I proceed with installing clockwork recovery?

Specifically, RevoToolkit reports "Version Not Found".

Advice?
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I had the same thing I got all pissed and thought I was screwed then someone mentioned the GB thing. You'll be fine if you flash cwm. Just flash cwm, boot into it, make a backup in cwm, flash gingervolt, and reboot. everything will work fine
[LG Revolution] i_t_n:
Awesome, thank you for the quick reply. Another stupid question that i'm sure is answered somewhere on here, but what exactly will I lose when flashing a ROM, and what will I be able to restore back with a backup?

When I got my Xoom back from the LTE upgrade it was in lesser condition than before I sent it in.

There were to smudges under the screen, no way I could have put them there. As soon as I got my Xoom back I sent it in to be fixed. After sending it in I got it back marked as water damaged. To make a long story short, when my Xoom was sent in for LTE upgrade it was not water damaged and when I sent it back in for repair it magically was. They provided me with pictures of the so called water damage, when i studied the pictures the device ID did not match mine and the date the pictures were taken were off by about 3 weeks.

Moto ended up sending me a brand new in sealed box MZ602... so I am now satisfied again with Moto, at least on the hardware side of things
