[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fartlec:
hi, I use a lot my galaxy s - international version- for ebook reading, and i've got an annoying problem when opening epubs, especially big (>300 pages) ones..they take ages (better eons) to load the certain page i'm at. . i've tried a lot of ereader, tweaks and roms, but i'm not satisfied with any of them (is it something related to sd-card read ahead?). i like aldiko 2.0 - i know it's not the best, but still..;) right know i'm on jvt and semaphore 1.8.2. the best configuration i could rely on..any suggestions for tweaks or roms?

thx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyBiker:
A few questions about the upcoming version of Android :

- Will it have a rotate animation ? Since Honeycomb had one I wonder, as I always missed that feature. I couldn't find the info...

- Will the SMS app will be revamped ? I'm getting tired of all the third-party apps that are getting heavier every day. I would go with the current stock app if it was slightly more personnalizable (at least being able to set your profile picture). So I hope it will be updated in ICS.

- I see alot of live wallpapers of the stock ICS wallpaper such as this one. Do we know if those live wallpapers are actually copies of the upcoming stock live wallpaper or are they original creations ?

If the latest, which is your favorite ?

Thanks !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
-rotate animation yes

- dunno

-should be have more live wallpaper. I'm not a fans of livewallpaper. I'm back to gingerbread after installed ICS for couple hours. I'll disable livewallpaper instantly after every install...

Hey guys, there's a chance i could trade my vibrant for a captivate at no cost, would it be a wise move? what are the differences???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
If you're on T-mobile 3g won't work anymore and the captivate has issues with the speaker going out. I'd keep the vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadJoe:
Its only a small issue, but I've noticed that the Captivate's USB port is difficult to use with any USB cable but the one it comes with because of the angle of the bevel. The Vibrant is also a better looking phone, imho. Not to mention, but since Oxirane already did, if you don't move over to AT&T you will be stuck without 3g data with the Captivate.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlad84:
Cappy has GB update. Vibrant - not.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedijos:
So I guess the Captivate is a better option? the 3G band doesn't matter as I can switch to another carrier.

I've heard that you can't install third party apps on the captivate, is this true? what about technical glitches?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neozengar:
Dont get the captivate, I can second the USB problem. It will only work with the samsung cable and no the others. I wasted money purchasing after market USB cable and realized it didn't work with captivate.
[Xoom General] d3athsd00r:
When my battery dies overnight while I'm not using it and I attempt to turn my Xoom on after charging it for a about 30 mins, it never makes it past the Dual Core Technology screen (doesn't even make it to the pulsing logo).

So I have to reflash my ROM and then it boots fine. Anyone know why this might be?

Running Tiamat 2.2.2
[Xoom General] burden010:
Yeah, that is odd! I'm not sure why you're getting this issue as I don't but just thought I'd chip in with a little tip. You should try to not let your Xoom lose all of it's power, the lithium ion batteries don't like it. If possible try to charge the Xoom before it reaches zero percent battery.

As to your issue though, I'm stumped. Did this happen with stock?
[Xoom General] d3athsd00r:
Never tried with stock. I used stock for about 30 mins.
[Xoom General] REHolt218:
i kknow that a number of people were having a similar problem with bootloader version 1.45 on the 4g upgraded Xoom's. The 1.5 upgrade seemed to solve the problem.

Do you you know what version bootloader you have?
[Xoom General] d3athsd00r:
Well its not my battery that is dying and causing it to not boot. I'm thinking its either the kernel (using Rouge's 1.4.1) or my undervolting because it just crashed on me and won't boot anymore.
[Xoom General] d3athsd00r:
How do you find out?

Hello!

I have this weird bug? with sensation, it can see about 10 different sattelites with GPS Test but when I use any GPS app (Adidas micoach,sportstracker...) it wont get a lock even for 30 mins :eek:

So what's the problem?

[HTC Sensation] vegetaleb:
These patches are for Tmous or internet aid for GPS no?

I used to have quick lock without internet before (2-5 mins)
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Yes try one of the fixes to try to get a lock. But when you get the sats and NO lock, that usually is because of the kernel itself. But there has been instances where it was caused by the superuser util. I am on MIUI with the bundled kernel (cm7 bumbblebee) and it works fine. I also used crypted's fix sans suplerootcert files and it worked as well.

First I would try to see if either fixes work. Then go into file explorer or astro and browse to /system/etc and delete the suplerootcert file. Reboot, download gps status and try to see if you can get a lock. If not, try pushing the gps.conf files from either "fixes" link, reboot and try again.

Report back on your experience! And good luck!
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
I usually clear gps data and reboot when this happens. Usually fixes it, very annoying though. Hope this software issue will be fixed soon. I can't get more than 3 satellites and no lock with any of the suplrootcert patches.
[HTC Sensation] TheNavdeepDahiya:
death grip issue, i think.
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
It's not death grip. You'd see no satellite if grip were affecting it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] zard:
My HTC HD 7 is a year old and was looking forward to the Titan for the bigger screen until I read about the Samsung Note. I tried out the Note (demo unit) yesterday, loved the size and the screen, but found it a bit laggy.

So has any of you guys or gals who has been using a WP7.5 bought the Note? If yes, please give me your opinions, good or bad is fine.

I don't have any I'll intention here. I've been a WM 2003 user to WP7.5 user and likes WP7.5. I went for the HD7 for the big screen, and now I'm eyeing for a bigger screen. Both WP and Android are great mobile OS, so I'm stuck and can't decide which to get for my next phone. Both are still not available in Singapore as of today, so I've been reading up hoping to be able to make a decision soon.

Thanks in advance for any feedbacks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
It depends, I have the titan and love it, I personally think the note is more of a tablet than a phone, just a bit too big to hold to your ear and speak into, some of the reviews say the same thing.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
Introduction

Software based resurrection is now possible on the Infuse4G after a simple hardware modification. The procedure works the same as the Captivate

[youtube]fw-D_cKeAb8[/youtube]

Software Based Resurrection

You Must have UnBrickable Mod applied to your device. If you're not sure, run this tool under Linux: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257434

This currently only works for

Linux based

computers or Windows based computers with proper drivers installed, with a Linux Virtual Machine, Get Ubuntu here: http://www.ubuntu.com , Get Virtualbox Here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

You must have Java installed on your computer. You can use this link http://www.java.com/en/download/ or use your package manger ie. apt-get install openjdk-6-jre

Unbricking:

1. Apply UnBrickable Mod to your device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318386

2. Run UnBrickable Resurrector(Galaxy Infused Edition): http://code.google.com/p/hummingbird-hibl/downloads/list This will only work on linux currently. Install Linux with WUBI or dual boot if you have windows. Use bootcamp for Mac.

Since UnBrickable Mod displays a black screen, we've added USB recognition to the Resurrector. This allows you to see what mode your device is in. It allows you to discriminate between a black-screen brick, UnBrickable Mod, and download mode with a bad Params.lfs. Each of these modes can show a black screen.

If you see this, your device is ready for resurrection. Press the Download Mode button to upload the HummingBird Interceptor BootLoader(by rebellos). The HIBL will be injected directly into the processor where it will authenticate with the System-on-a-Chip, call memory routines to perform initialization, then reuse the same download routine which was used to download the HIBL, but this time it's unsecure. The Resurrector will then upload a modified SBL which has been designed to put the device into Download Mode. After the resurrector has performed its duties, the device will display a black screen, but it will actually be in Download Mode.

If you see this, your device is not in UBM mode. This means your device is frozen or the mod has not been applied correctly. Remove the battery and USB cable, then plug in the battery and connect the USB cable to try again.

If you see this, your device is in Download mode, procede to step 3.

3. Run Heimdall One-Click: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1331381

4. repeat steps 2 and 3 with bootloader flashing enabled (Heimdall One-Click has a safety mechanism which requires you to flash once before flashing bootloaders).

Conclusion

The technology used in this resurrection process has been refined to the point of stupid-user-friendly. If you're having a problem, you're doing it wrong :D.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
Alright, so the issues are:

Camera not functioning properly.

Choppy (VERY CHOPPY) Video recording.

Signal loss.

SMS not sending for hours and sometimes resending themselves several times.

Phones seems to soft reset itself and kick everything out of memory.

Sense unresponsive and must reboot to fix.

Calls are dropped occasionally even if I can see what I know to be a Sprint tower and have full signal.

3G data connection dropping off and not connecting...

With all connections turned off (literally nothing on except the device itself) and backlight ultra low, the battery will sometimes last only an hour from 100%

Phone plugs in and charges to 100 but when it reaches 100 it restarts and says it has about 30. This happens rarely but it is becoming a more common thing.

This happened after I updated to the 4.54.651.1 security update. My baseband is 2.15.00.0808. This has been happening for a few weeks now and it is driving me nuts! I have tried hard resetting, re-running the update, rooting and trying other ROMS to see if that fixed it and nothing has... I believe it is something with the voltage regulator in the phone itself. It seems that the battery life issue as well as the different radios malfunctioning could be caused by the voltage regulator going out. I am not even sure if this can happen, but it would explain my issues. Now I am not looking for a list of what is wrong with my phone (I have provided that). I would like to see some solution options as far as taking it in to Sprint and seeing what they can give me in exchange since this phone is no longer supported or even stocked in stores. Anyone got any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Assuming you are not rooted, just do a factory reset. All of those issues sound like software issues. If you take it into sprint, they will just tell you the same thing, to do a factory reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
I did these things. I have been rooted before to see if it would fix the problem by using different software. Nothing works...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Hmm, well honestly, if you take it in to a sprint store, they will try to reset the phone again. They always try that first. If that doesn't work, you can take it in again and tell them you are still having problems, and if you are still under warranty, they should replace it with a refurb evo.

Just make sure you are not rooted when you take it in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amonix633:
Some of the issue sounds like software or a tower related issue with the signal. You may want to call sprint from another phone about that signal loss deal. They may have you change some settings in the programming area. For example I had the same issue with call drops and having full signal. After having them re-register my phone on the network and updating the profile / PRL and some setting menu to change the I believe some phone number I was good.

As for the battery issue. It could be your battery is going bad. I would consider getting that replaced first. If you know anyone with another Evo or the HTC Hero you can attempt to use their battery or check to see if their phone does the same. Our battery is compatiable with the Hero (I have an old hero).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickelghandi:
I have tried updating things and downgrading things. I took it to a Sprint Store, they suggested a hard reset/ factory reset. I did this with them present and it is not fixed. They told me to take it to a repair shop where they can diagnose it properly. Can they not just give me a Nexus or refurbished EVO 3d? I think it is the lack of support for the OG EVO from Sprint and HTC now that is the most aggravating...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmoore55:
They will not give anything but the same handset you have already i believe. I could be mistaken. Do you have a custom recovery on your phone? amonRa, clockworkmod? If so, go in and wipe everything and flash a new stock rom. make sure you wipe all (cache, dalvik-cache, boot, system, sdext, .android secure, battery stats, rotate stats, and anything else i may have missed from the wipe menu). If you want an even snappier phone, try one of the new custom roms and kernels to overclock.

Hi all,

It's been a while for me and HTC products.

I want to root my friends Desire Z.

What do I need to know before rooting.

I remember with Desire HD, I had to downgrade in order to root.

Visionary, ENG HBOOT, etc. etc.

Current ROM loaded: 2.42.405.2

Please fill me in.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_wlc:
Hey,

you can find all relevant information and a step-by-step guide here.

As with the DHD you will also need to downgrade the DZ in order to get permanent root.

Warning (Just because I read "visionary"): At least as far as the g2/dz goes, it is advised to avoid it. Since there is a very high risk of bricking your phone.

its a junk spare phone im trying to revive,and i need to get it s-off and a working recovery. becasue of the issues it has,unrevoked does not work.

because of s-on,flastboot flash does not work. nor does using z4 for temp root then flashing CW with rom manger.

becasue of s-on,emmc write protct i cant use rewrite mmcblk0p21 with a new image,it just boots to the ! and triangle.

any ideas? if i can get a recovery,i can get s-off,then have some other options to try and repair it.

3.22.605.1 is the oldest froyo you can run on a scld without getting the black screen.

why doesnt unrevoked 3.32 work?

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3

make sure you have the hboot drivers installed on your pc too

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install

i have done this to 4 different SLCD phones with no problems.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
unrevoked forever. You flash from hboot. All it does is disable write protect so you can flash custom update.zips such as clockwork.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotty1223:
*sigh*

yes,unrevoked 3.32 works fine for normal,functional slcd incredibles. this is not my first rodeo,trust me it wont work on this one,as i mentioned it has issues. specifically it forgets all its settings every boot,including personal data and user apps. its literally like a factory data reset every time the phone is booted. to add to that,there is only a few minute window that i can do anything in the OS before things start force closing and the phone is literally unuseable.

running unrevoked boots the phone to hboot,does some things,then reboots. when it comes up i have to manually re-check usb debugging to get it to continue. it runs root,then fails,every time. i have run it several times in a row,it wont work.

trying to get permanent root with z4 or visionary does not work either,due to the described reboot issue.

getting temp root with z4 or visionary sometimes works,sometimes will even let me flash clockwork with rom manager,but the recovery does not actually get written due to the s-on and write protect.

unrevoked forever is flashed in a custom recovery,not in hboot. i need recovery for that to work,and i need to unlock emmc write protect to get a recovery.

see this for info in forever: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever

Hey so I've been using Villainrom happily for a while now but recently tried out cyanogenmod which worked fine except for no USB mount. I figured it was just the rom and went back to Villainrom, USB working fine again.

With ICS themes being available to checkrom and batista roms, I gave them a go and found that USB Mount doesn't work on these either

I'm back on Villainrom 3.0 now after downloading PC drivers from google, samsung, and just about every source mentioned on XDA + search engines plus installing Kies and (almost considered going back to stock everything with Odin) no luck. The error message is USB Device malfunctioned in a big balloon message on the trey.

The phone will charge but not recognize a USB device being attached for mounting, tried turning debugging on and off, and starting USB from wifi.

Not a big deal as I can mount USB Now on VillainRom. But I'm super curious as to why none of the other roms are working for me

I have the original USB cable as well as another third party one. For some reason my laptop responds better to the third party one so I've always used that, tried both but no results.
