You gotta use that for the latest update via RSD, rooting it won't get you updates. And whoever told you that updating would break your WIFI was a dolt. It actually fixes most of the WIFI issues people were having. I've attached the 5.5 version of RSD so you don't have to hunt it down. Just follow the instructions in the thread I linked above and you should be golden. :]
[Motorola Photon 4G] pastert33:
The problem I have is the step 6

6. Load up the SBF file you extracted from the MR download

What does that mean? Seems simple but don't remember extracting an SBF file
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You need to extract the zip file you downloaded from the link xTMFx provided (contains the 198_7 SBF)...you open this SBF file in RSD Lite, connect your phone to the computer after putting it in RSD mode, and hit START.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pastert33:
Ahh I downloaded the deotexed one and not the original so I didn't see a sbf file. Downloading now, will report back

I put my phone in RSD mode, how do I get it outta the mode or is it ok for it the stay this way until the download is done?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Once RSD lite has done it's thing, the phone will reboot, or you will have to manually reboot (it's a soft brick, just pull the battery if necessary).

Best,

K
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I generally have had to pull my battery then reboot manually. But works just fine for me. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] pastert33:
Ok, finally got it updated! Def isn't like the EVO, could flash it in like a couple minutes! Now think I'm gonna unlock the bootloader

[Motorola Photon 4G] pastert33:
Yea i actually just got done setting up my phone after flashing the joker rom with the OC kernal. Really impressed!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah that is the one to go with as it is fast and has the oc kernel included. Plus tis built off the latest build.

Hey People,

I now own an htc diamond 2 I had it for 2 years. It has been broken about 7 times! All within warranty but still it’s too much.

End of this month I can renew my contract with my mobile provider, and I can order a new phone.

But I have no idea what phone to choose.

Can someone give me some pointers in what phone I can choose from?

It doesn’t have to be brand new.

Must have:

Exchange support.

Camera at least 5mp.

Gps.

Must be quite fast while browsing.

Android or iPhone??.

I know there are many comparison sites but I rather here it from daily users.

So please tell me why your phone or the phone u mentioned is the right choice.

Samsung Galaxy S2 still seems to be the best, imho. Fast, thin, light, great screen. The only thing I wasn't sure about when I got it was the relatively low resolution, but it actually hasn't bothered me even though I came from an iPhone 4 with a retina display.

The Galaxy Nexus might also be something to look at, although I'm not terribly impressed with the specs.

i say wait a couple weeks and get a galaxy nexus. the specs may not be the best, but the hardware acceleration and software make it better than just about anything else you could get.
[General Questions and Answers] mohits143:
I'd say wait for the Galaxy Nexus, though it's going to be super costly I think.

A mid-range awesome phone would probably be HTC Desire S. I own it, I love it.

So, if you can wait and pay enough for the Galaxy Nexus it's going to be worth the wait. Else go for the Desire S.

Galaxy S2 again is awesome, but awesomeness is not cheap. ;)

sounds like samsung nexus is gonna be more like iphone in that no external sd card and no removable battery. Kudos for icecream sandwhich but do you wanna be the ghinea pig for software that is bound to have some probs in the beginning? It seems like sg2 is the ultimate phone so far: it has removable card, option to replace battery better hardware, camera and will surely get android 4.0 when everything has been ironed out.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Steelduines:
Hi guys,

I've got my Note for four days now, I'm very happy with it except for one thing. I keep getting complaints from people I call that the call quality is very poor. When I use the voice recorder my voice sounds crystal clear, so I don't think it's a faulty mic. I thought my maybe my in call mic volume is too high. I accessed the service menu (*#*# 197328640#*#*) but I can't get into 5. Audio. When I press it it just goes back to the main menu. Does someone else have this problem or does someone have a fix for my problem.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jmanso:
Hello everyone,

I've tried several different roms on my X5, and some weeks ago I had a strange issue.

I had just installed MIUI 2 or 3 days before, and decided to change back to CM7.

Since I've done that my phone randomly freezes and restarts, sometimes even in the recovery. I've tried all the custom roms and they ALL have this issue now. System boots and 2 to 5 min later it just freezes and reboots.

Also I've noted that when it's booting it takes significantly more time than any other x5 (i've turned 2 iDeos X5 on at the same time and this one takes 2 more minutes to boot).

Now for the really weird part...

If I restock it with the official 2.2 rom I have absolutely no issues at all! Phone runs perfect, never freezes and never breaks.

I've tried everything, multiple kernels, multiple roms, played around with processor speed, reformatted internal SD, repartioned, fixed the permissions.... I'm at a loss, I have no idea what else to try, and since my phone is perfect on stock rom I cant really send it back to "fix" because apparently nothing is broken...

Anyways, help would very much be appreciated

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dima_2005:
Did you totally reset the phone?

So when you open recovery:

* wipe data/factory reset

* wipe cache partition

* Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jmanso:
Yep, did that everytime.

Also, the phone sometimes freezes on installing in recovery rom. mid-installation it just reboots...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
which recovery version are you using?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jmanso:
I've tried 4.0.1.5 by Geno and 5.0.2.6.

also I've tried the others, but recovery freezes mid-installation
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
This doesn't seem to have an easy solution.

Try to use the powerful logcat utility to investigate what causes the problem. You can run it from a command prompt window(pc) with command:

adb logcat

or

adb logcat > log.txt

if you want to create a log file to C drive instead of display the output to command prompt window. Post the logfile here.

Maybe then someone can find the issue and hopefully a solution to your problem
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jmanso:
thx for the idea, i'll try it when I get home and post the log when I have it
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jmanso:
Hello again, haven't had the change to do the log, but I just found out something really strange.

I have here 2 iDeos x5, one works one freezes. What I just found out is that the one that works shows 353mb of RAM, i've researched online and says that this is normal because the rest of the memory is allocated for the GPU.

What is strange is that the one that freezes shows 512mb of Ram, making me believe that it has no video memory hence freezing the phone when I try to do something graphics wise...

Anyone know if this ever happened? or ideas on how to fix it?

Thank you so much

i'm currently working on a theme. but i have 2 questions:

*can miui theme non system apps as well?

i tried to but i cannot see what i am doing wrong here.

my example: i have palmary weather widget,

1) looked up its package name (com.palmary.forecaweather)

2) extracted the image i wanted to edit out of the .apk

3) changed it in photoshop

4) have set an directory; res>drawable-hdpi>imagename.png

5) zipped it and renamed it com.palmary.forecaweather

6) and rezipped that folder with a current theme to a mtz file.

*how do i edit png files that are indexed when opened in photoshop?

some images for instance in framework-res, have indexed 8-bit color set to it.

and i cannot edit those images in photoshop without losing transparency.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
I got my phone back on Wednesday from the repair people that my insurers use after dropping it last month and shattering the screen inside (fortunately the phone itself still worked properly)

At the time the phone had been dropped, I was having problems with it in that the phone couldn't get a phone signal at all and I was going to fix the problem myself. The repair people knew that it had been jailbroken and I explained that I would fix the problem with the lack of signal myself.

Now, I have a new problem in that every time I get a WiFi signal, it keeps getting disconnected within seconds and I've noticed that the repair people seem to have reactivated the infamous "Flight Mode" problem which seems to have somehow affected the inbuilt WiFi system in that every time the phone manages to detect a signal, whether it's at home or elsewhere, such as university, it loses the signal.

In any case, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the problem (I installed the latest VillainROM yesterday which is 3.0) including what modem to use and how to install it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
I would try some different modems and see if you find one that solves your problem. In the first few posts of the VillainRom thread is a link to the thread attachments. Included in there should be a few modems in zip format which you can flash through CWM. Also some of the posters (I think one is geko95gek??) have them in their signatures.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karpfenhai:
Hey there, not sure whether this is an ongoing issue, but the problem seems to be related to the embedded kernel from VR 3.0 (Nimphetamine 2.0.5) I was facing exactly the same problem. The only way to fix it was to flash a different kernel (siyah 2.2 in my case) .

I tried all available radios but nothing fixed it, maybe pulser has to take care of it in the next release, so flash another kernel and the problem will be solved, good luck! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Yep, as in above post. WiFi drivers are found in the kernel. Try Siyah, Speedmod etc.

I may be wrong, if so someone will correct me, but on Weapon's rom and Stock rom's the Apps are moved to the Internal SD not the External SD. I think the CM7 is the only one that reworks the mounting to use the External for this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
One thing with the new 'superphones' it's really not necessary to move apps to sd. The g2x has 3 locations in which to store apps. The problem you are having I ran into awhile back. The issue is with mounting or improper format on your sd card. Always, when in doubt, reboot!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pottyvick:
You have to use a non-stock based rom like CM7.

I've recently upgraded from Froyo Pro to GingerDx V019. My phone was working perfectly alright. I loved the rom, it was fast and almost bug free.

My phone was having CWM 3.2.0.0 so I decided to upgrade it to 4.0.1.5 I downloaded the file CWM-recovery-4.0.1.5-e15-Amend.zip and flashed it through XRecovery. After flashing, when I rebooted the phone, my phone refused to start. It just got stuck at Sony Ericsson Logo. I removed the battery and started it again but problem is not solved. :eek:

For video, you can try Moboplayer, but you need to convert if the format is other than 3GP or MP4 at 320 x 480 res, futhermore X8 is so bad when it play H264 codec. At least it must be above than 720p because we dont have 1ghz cpu. To download youtube video, you can use tubemate. Cheers
