**TROLL MODE**

So you thought you were getting a better phone by going to Skyrocket, found out it had a Snapdragon and is laggy and pixelated like the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 and wish you still had the original ATT eh?

I still do not see how people are not able to see that the Skyrocket and the Tmobile Galaxy S2 are nearly identical which would also mean they would have the same problems. Same Phone, different carrier, same ****.

**END TROLL MODE**

nope i got mine from best buy too. I dont care about the money and figured I could help someone on here get it if they wanted it.

I never touched the T-Mobile version of this phone...I have att not t mobile so I never had a reason to bother with messing with the TM version. I wanted to play with it, I did and now I am trading it...if you dont like it go throw a ***** fit somewhere else. Thank you!

There is nothing wrong with the phone, I just like the snappiness of the original a little more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver03wrx:
Ha thats funny

Na if i dont like the skyrocket as much ill just buy another gs2. Had one on sprint . Now att. But hey thanks for your input slick

Is there a way to disable the lock screen permanately and use a lockscreen app?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbrethen:
...another thought?

"On certain devices that use their own customized user interface such as HTC Sense, Samsung TouchWiz etc., the stock Android lock screen is usually present but overridden by the version provided by the manufacturer." ...any way to turn of the touch wiz screen lock and use the stock android lock screen?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Flash a custom ROM...most ROMs allow you to change the lock screen to other ones that are baked into/preloaded on the ROM itself.

[Dell Streak 7] rguptan:
I had upgraded my stock streak 7 to HoneyComb 3.2 from dell update. rooted it with the instructions found in this forum. I had the live wallpaper working. But then I did something (i installed a lot of apps and uninstalled a lot more. I have played around with autorun condition of lot of apps including system app.) and now I dont see the option of picking "live wallpaper". I can't pinpoint what broke it, because I didn't try changing my live wallpaper for a week.

If I try to open a live wallpaper, I get a message saying your device does not support live wallpaper.

I tried copying LiveWallpapersPicker.apk from

honeycomb-sdk-united-base[dot]googlecode[dot]com into my /system/apps

changed owner and permission as well. Didn't work.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
as the title says. I am looking for ways to get my battery to perform like it did before.

I was using villain rom with SPEEDMOD kernel.and I had very good battery life. one night I noticed my battery getting really really hot while charging. then the battery life went down hill. I tried wiping battery stats, removed battery for 5min after full charge, changed to cm based rom(it was even worse). i upgraded my modem to KI4. Now I am in villain rom with SPEEDMOD, (17) kernel and the battery life is still ****.

any suggestions####. yes I could blame Android os bug. its a 2.3.5 rom and I turned off all the sync as well I have absolutely no idea how to solve this issue.

it is with minimal use. theme is not the culprit as I have tested without theme and got a similar results.

update

I did not want to change the ROM but I gave 'HyperDroid-Androidmeda' a try. to my surprise the battery drain was gone. then i installed ics theme 'the battery was still good'. then I set up google account and restored K9 mail via titanium backup. THEN AGAIN the BATTERY started to deain heavily.i uninstalled K9,but the battery drain had not gone, uninstalled titanium backup no LUCK. still investigating......but i know i am close;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
The batteries used in the SGS2 do not need (and therefor not offer) calibration.

Your problem is something else and there is about a million threads about how find'n'fix the issue.

Out of the blue, I'd blame some app you're running.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
I am aware of all the other threads. I've faced battery life problems before as well but it was usually resolved by flashing a different kernel or rom. you may be right about the rouge application.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
can anybody help me make sense of what is killing my battery. btw I did ude the audio recording software for an hour and also the circuits app but they are not the culprit. main problem is that the phone does not go to sleep.... and battery drains rapidly.

i for first 50% of charge i was on speed mod kernel ... there was battery drain. and then i flased the rom again, the battery life got worse.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awesome-member:
UPDATE....wifi was preventing my phone from going to sleep(still dont know what the real cause is)..... AFTER several ROMS and a DEAD SD card... my problem seem to be gone...for now at least. i basically flashed official firmware and flashed speedmod for root and clockwork mod. then flashed checkROM with speedmod again. fingers crossed the problem is gone.
[Droid 2 Global General] imaudi5000:
i did the ota Gb update but switched back to froyo the other day cuz i wanted my barnacle wifi tether to work but now my bluetooth wont work. i restored from a CWM backup and tried a plain old factory reset and bluetooth didnt work with either one. i tried to turn it on with the toggle switches and in the settings but it does the lil loading symbol and then nothing turns on.

does anyone have any tips or other setting things i can try? what are the chances of the bluetooth hardware breaking? any diagnostic apps i can use to check things?
[Droid 2 Global General] imaudi5000:
ok so after trying different restore points and factory resets, i tried to do the ota gb update again but it failed multiple times. so i flashed the sbf again to completely remove the traces of rooting but that kinda failed too. lol everything seemed to work and i got the 'pass' from rsd but my settings and everything was the same and i didnt do a restore but now bluetooth works :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:

[Motorola Photon 4G] demigod3030:
I was unlocked and rooted with the alien build and cwm.

I installed from zip checked out the alien build without the theme then decided i wanted it so i rebooted into recovery and installed the theme well the theme didnt color anything in the status bar like the snapshots...so i again rebooted into recovery wiped everything except battery cache and then i just decided to restore to the backup i made from before i even unlocked it took a really long time to restore. After restoring now my photon screen turns on only when plugged into the wall the screen is stuck at boot and says unlocked at the top it does not respond to hard reset and i cannot rsd or reboot into recovery because the buttons make no difference.

Right now im leaving it plugged in while the screen is stuck at boot i just got home from work im going to check it in a little while.

What else can i possibly do is it done for?

[HTC Titan] cpimentel:
Hi guys.

I own a HTC Ultimate (HTC Titan here in Brazil) and I'm suffering for something that bothered me before in the Windows Mobile 'age'.

As the major users of smartphones, I keep my cellular connection always on and at home, or other places, I turn on my WIFI.

What happened is that, for some reason, the applications after a while stop using the WIFI connection. I know that because I often use EDGE instead 3D.

If I turn off the Cellular network, everything keeps running smooth.

Is anyone having the same behavior? I didn't see this in my HD7, as far as I remember.

Regards,

Cris
[HTC Titan] anaadoul:
yep, I'm in.

For some reason, apps ( and browser) use 3G over wireless! I hate it and switch data to off :|

Will contact HTC to check soon.
[HTC Titan] rtydevine:
The same for me ! I need to turn off cellular data to use wifi connection too often. I don't like it.
[HTC Titan] cpimentel:
The Facebook is the champion. If I turn on Wifi and then open it, it will use the Wifi. If I got back and return to the App.. no more Wifi, only Cellular network.

This is the same thing on Windows Mobile. Microsoft should learn something from the competitor where they just keep one network running at a time!

What bothers me is that I don't remember this occuring in my HD7. Will put my SIM on it and try to see what happens.

Evidence

I got an evidence yesterday that the OS is using Cellular Data while WiFi is on.

I used all my bandwidth on my plan, so Vivo as it's customers to keep a low speed or pay by MB used. This is done through the browser.

So I found that I was using the Cellular data while wifi is on when I opened the browser and receive the page from vivo asking me to choose wherever I wanna do use.

I don't know why MS still thinking that we wanna to shutdown thinks on phone to be able to use it properly. Why not implement like the others platforms where the OS just keep 1 way to connect to internet?

Amazing how they don't know how to advertise the product but know how to take away some pleasure to use the platform.

Hope they fix this in Apollo or a new OTA update. It's about time to show the users that indeed the phone can be updated OTA.

[HTC Titan] anaadoul:
I do remember having this problem on my Windows Mobile but i have NEVER faced it with Windows Phone 7 on my Omnia 7! This is something related to HTC not Microsoft.

Quick Heads up, this is my message to HTC.
[HTC Titan] cpimentel:
Take a look at this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/start/connecting-how-and-when.aspx

"Your phone will typically choose a Wi-Fi connection over a cellular data connection when they're both available."

I'm afraid of this "typically". In my opinion, the correct way is to choose Wifi OR Cellular Data. One network at a time.

This week I will try to run some 'tests' on my HD7. I really don't remember having to switch of the celullar data to use correctly the wifi.

Keep us updated.

HTC Update

It looks like HTC has found the problem and is delivering an update for Titan. Can anyone confirm this?

Unfortunatly I own a Ultimate (Titan here in Brazil) and probably will take longer to Vivo test and delivery things =(

There is an update for the Titan, but I don't know if this includes the fix you are talking about, or if there will be another update?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cool400:
Hi guys and gals,

I've recently bought an Archos 101 Internet Tablet with 16GB as a real bargain (169 Euro) and now it's lying still boxed on my table and I ask myself, what should I do :confused:

BTW, is this a GEN8 oder GEN9 device?

I thought that this could be a great deal when it's possible to install CyanogenMod 7.x on the 101 - but as I read for now this is not that easy as I thought :(

There's obviously a way installing CM7 over openAOS, but with massive restrictions like not-working

Audio

Bluetooth

Accelerometer

accelerated Video decoding

Suspend

TS calibration on A28/A32/A43

This is really disappointing, because I really like CM7 ported to other devices I know...

So, back to my thread-title: should I unbox the 101 and start to use it, hoping that CM7 will work on it without any restrictions one fine day? Or shoud I send it back to the seller and get my money back?

And: what alternative cheap tablet with Android, a big community AND the ability to install a "normal" CM7 should I buy?

Best regards and thanks for your thoughts

cool400 :cool:
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellarforce:
Hi,

you have a Gen 8 tablet. I haven't tried CM7 on my tablet yet (Doesn't look stable enough for me yet), but have you looked into Urukdroid? It is fully functional, and adds some neat things like being able to use a DVB stick to watch TV.

The first alternative tablet I can think of is the Nook Color. I hear that has CM7, and is about the same price (150 euros).
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gottahavit:
If all you want to do is play video and you're stuck on the 150 price range, go with the 101 for the price, although the screen is terrible. CM7 runs very well on the Nook Color, but it's a 7" screen and video playback is terrible. For very little extra money you can get either the kindle fire or nook tablet and have something much better.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divx118:
To rectify some things on RC bull release openAOS:

Audio works for CM7

Bluetooth works for CM7

Accelerometer works for CM7

accelerated Video decoding is not working for CM7

Suspend is working, however there still seem to be some issues

TS calibration for A32 and A43 is working A28 we do not support

Is it a stable release? No far from that it still needs a lot of work.

[Trophy General] painreliever83:
So, I'm looking for a Windows Phone 7 device to have a play around with, not looking to spend too much as it's just going to be a toy really, and I came across this Trophy going cheap on ebay.

The phone doesn't boot at the moment, and the seller says "It either will turn on to the white screen with the htc logo on and wont go any further or you can turn it on to the bootloader and connect it to the pc, but thats it".

Does anyone know if it can be resurrected? I'm quite techy but I'm not a dev, as long as I have instructions I'm quite comfortable flashing roms and such, I used to have a HTC Hero that I rooted and flashed custom roms etc to, so I'm used to all that stuff. I've attached some pictures of the screen, if anyone can tell me whether it's bricked or not, and if it can be fixed (and possibly point me toward some instructions on what to do!) I would appreciate it.
[Trophy General] matthijs81:
I personally wouldn't buy it since you don't know exactly what happened with it. But it looks to me like maybe the GoldCard method would work...

...even though you might not have enough information to retrieve from the phone to create an actual GoldCard, you might be able to flash it with the original ROM using an Y-cable and an external card reader.

What is his asking price?
[Trophy General] painreliever83:
It's on an auction ending in 2 days, no bids yet so its still on the opening price of £20. I reckon it's worth a go as long as it doesn't go above £30
[Trophy General] painreliever83:
Of course, as long as it hasn't been opened I could just send it to HTC for a warranty repair, but where's the fun in that?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] forever29:
Hey, guys. Haven't used an android for months since I let my DROID X go. I could have sworn I came across a thread with a solution to slow backups on bootstrapper but can't find it. Anyone have the solution? Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
To slow them down or speed them up? To speed them up flash the newest ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager after flashing the Bionic Bootstrapper. Then go to the Clockworkmod folder where your backups are saved (either sD or sd-ext) and place a file named ".hidenandroidprogess" without the quotes in that root directory of ClockWorkMod. That is .hideNANDROIDprogress not Android. Nandroid. Should speed things up drastically.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forever29:
Thanks! Going to try that tomorrow. The backups take way too long.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forever29:
Okay. I created a file in that backup folder like you told me but I'm still getting slow backups. ".hidenandroidprogress" without the quotes of course. And a period inserted before. I flashed the latest clockworkmod recovery as well. 5.0.2.5
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
Not the backup sub folder where the files are. It needs to be in the SD-EXT/CLOCKWORKMOD/ folder. Not sd-ext/clockwordmod/backup/ folder. Assuming thats where you write your backups. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] forever29:
Got it. That's exactly what I did. Backups are much faster. Thanks for that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] needshelp101:
Make a folder, or a file? If its a file, just a text file and name it .hidenandroidprogress?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
Correct. Make a blank file, like a .nomedia file, and call it .hidenandroidprogress or just copy a .nomedia file in there and rename it to .hidenandroidprogress. CWM will then stop showing you progress of Nandroid backups and restores. You just get the four or five main steps listed (backing up system, data, sd-ext...etc) no file listings and proggess bar as it goes. DRASTICALLY speeds up the process
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I didn't notice much difference at first, but I am now. This is EXTREMELY helpful.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dan46n2:
What's funny is that my nandroids have ALWAYS been like this on the Bionic. I've been using cvps bootstrap since I first rooted (day of bionic release).

I wasn't sure what people were talking about so I put a hidenandroidprogress file in that folder and it slowed my nandroids waaaaaay down since it was showing every step...

Not sure why mine was backwards, but I was just reminded of this so I just checked and I don't see the file in my sd-ext/clockworkmod folder... Guess I need to do another backup and see if it's fast or slow again...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] hakoch2:
After I create the file in file manager, I can't see the new file that was created. Is the .hidenandroidprogress file a hidden file to begin with?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
Yes. Anything beginning with a period denotes that the file is a hidden file.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
Anyone know if this technique works with TWRP used in Safestrap 3.x?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Legato Bluesummers:
No idea. Only use TWRP on my Xoom. And I don't have a bionic anymore. Sorry

[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosit1:
If you want to keep root, I wouldn't. But if you really need to, take mount_ext3.sh and remove the lines of code forever root added.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Calla969:
Delete the files from the cache folder.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skullvet:
There are no files in the cache folder
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ticrandall:
I think you need to use root explorer to be abler to see them there is two files in the cache folksy you will need to remove, both saying something about .894, I had the same issue with .893, removed those files and it stop annoying me.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skullvet:
Ok, found an .apk in there that I deleted. The inly other file was what looked to be a log from .893
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skullvet:
I deleted it and it is still trying to update.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Reboot after you delete it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bgmikejr:
You need to open root explorer and then go to /system/etc/security rename the file otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak and then reboot your phone and that should do it. Hope this helps :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ichigo007:
If your stock .893 not rooted what does .894 do for you
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
Kill your root, that's all it was released for

If your not rooted it probably closes the exploit
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skullvet:
Didn't work. Still trying to update. I don't think it ever installed it, it keeps trying to download it. Looks like I may have to sacrifice root. Any other ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
Or you can just keep cancelling it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GoBears:
Titanium backup and freeze updater. Defrost when you need it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skullvet:
It comes up as download of update failed. It is annoying because it will break into tasks. Say you are shooting a video, it will pop in and stop the recording.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GoBears:
Did you delete both files related to .894 in the /cache folder?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skullvet:
The only things in /cache is downloadfile.apk, lost and found and a folder names recovery that has a logfile in it. I tried deleting downloadfile.apk several times and it keeps coming back.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GoBears:
That apk shouldn't be there. At least I don't have that. Try renaming it to .bak on the end and rebooting.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
Think he's tried that already.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skullvet:
I checked for downloadfile.apk and it stayed gone this time. It still tries to update. Will probably come back after reboot.
