[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
Hey guys, tried a search but couldn't find anything. I am running a rooted stock 2.3.3 with faux kernel and for the longest time I had GPS disabled without knowing it (what can I say, I'm good with directions). I recently enabled it and have been getting reboots at random times while it is on. I turned it off today and have not had a crash yet, so I assume this is the problem.

Has anyone had or fixed this? I have thought about installing the weapon ROM, seems to get a lot of positive reviews for stability which is most important to me. If there is an easy fix though, I'd rather just stay put on my current setup.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
It did the SOD thing last night when I was sleeping (had GPS off the whole day) so I figured something was buggy and wiped it to install weapon. Hopefully it works out *crosses fingers*.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waisal:
Anybody else notice this when I am swiping the screen on my note eg between homescreens when I reach the limit of the screen ie it cannot be swiped any further a blue band appears from the edge and stretches from the edge and fades as long as my finger pressure is applied and when pressure is released the blue band disappears

I hope I am making sense with the description. Is this a feature of the Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Yes. It's not just homepages, it happens with almost every app with a scrollbar.

Many Thanks for the reply I have not seen this on any device before, interesting feature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
You will also find this on cyanogenmod but in orange.

The reason behind this is that the previous scrolling bouncing effect previously used is pattented by Apple, so Samsung had to to change to something different to avoid having to stop selling their products.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
Yup, same with MIUI

Is there a recent widget that shows Wifi signal strength? I have Beautiful Widgets (though I'm always on the lookout for something better for clock/weather/battery), so I don't need a toggle, just want a small widget for signal strength for when I'm running Go Launcher with the notification bar turned off.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jendaa:
Hi everybody,

I am having troubles getting files from PC to my TV.

I would love to have my PC music listed on my android device when connected to TV as mass storage.

I managed to mount PC folders to ANDROID using CifsManager. It works like a charm.

I wanna use it on my TV though and the problem is that when I connect my phone to TV the sdcard gets unmounted from the phone (when i mount PC folder directly into sdcard folder, it doesnt work)

Is there is any workaround? For example is it possible to set my mounted folders as external usb storage instead of /mnt/sdcard or somehow disable sdcard unmounting while connected to pc/tv?

Thanks

Jan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jendaa:
Noone knows?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] damazta:
have you tried to change cifs manager's mount point to /mnt/cifs?

you may need to change permissions on your filesystem (dangerous) tho...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Carlos-:
Hey guys,

I have a new and not modified (not root, default ROM) Ace and I think the battery status is not working properly. When the battery is being drained, the battery status goes like 100%,99%,98%,... just like it should I think, than it freezes let's say on 80%, it shows this 80% for couple of hours even when the phone is being used a lot (wi-fi, gps, watching some stuff), after this couple of hours it goes straight to 60% or something within a moment, than it works again like 60%,59%,58%,... than it get freezed on same % for couple of hours again... and so on... I wonder if this is just how the Ace or Android works, or there is something wrong with phone refreshing/getting the battery information ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jrxtepan:
You reminded me This Post ...

Anyway... If you add all those "couple of hours" I think you have such a great battery performance!!! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Carlos-:
The battery life is not that bad indeed :D but I find useful to know whether the battery is 40% or 20% when it shows 40%
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pahan_88:

Similar problem

In my case tho...the phone charges for around half an hour...says completely charged...then drains out in 6 hours...any clue what might be wrong :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Carlos-:
On another forum I saw few people having this problem (very small battery life even with wi-fi, gps and 3G off) which wasn't solved even by a new battery. They had to use warranty and get their phones repaired.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Carlos-:
My 3G is off all the time. Anyway if it shows same percentage for 2-3 hours while I am using the phone heavily, it is quiete annoying. I would be glad if it was only "jumpy" :)

Instead of the swiping through homescreens 1-7

To do this faster take your thumb on any homescreen your on ,doesnt matter!!And find the # screen you are on.... longpress it and move thumb up half inch then left to right it allows you to Super Swipe to any screen faster.

Sorry I wanted to post this in faux's kernel thread but it looks like I don't have enough posts yet.

I tried searching but I could not find an answer for this.

In my SetCPU, the governor selection (scaling) is blank and disabled.

Any clues on as to why this is? I'm on an Atrix running CM7 and the 1.3 faux OC kernel.

You may not be able to post, but your search should still work in the dev forums. :p

Pretty sure you'll find your answer in one of those posts. :)

*EDIT* I know you said you searched, but sometimes narrowing it down to a specific forum or thread will greatly improve your results. I know searching from the main Atrix forum can be pretty useless.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnusesandroid:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Ooops

Haha, that's too perfect. The broken link was just search results for "governors" in Faux's kernel thread. Sorry, I wasn't trying to be difficult, just wanted to get you accustomed to that search button :o. Tegra2 uses Dynamic Frequency Voltage Scaling in lieu of governors.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbuta:
Dear all,

I've experienced two problems when using Titanium Backup (newest version) restoring app from Dell streak (Froyo) to my new I9100 (UK O2 2.3.5), spent whole afternoon today search around and they seem to be quite unique... :

1, App-only restore works fine. However, if restore the data at the same time, apps always crash. Would this be because of the I9100 has "SD" and "external SD" while Streak only has "SD"?

2, The second problem is a long one and by my own fault. I accidentally "restored" the contacts system app and data from Dell streak to I9100...

This crashed my I9100's google framework, the phone dialer, the contacts, and the Messaging. The dialer and contacts icons simply disappeared from the launcher and the application list. A factory reset would not solve this problem.

Error messages were like "The application Google services Framework(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. " and "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" etc.

I ROMed the phone firstly with a customer 2.3.4, the dialer etc. back to work. Then I ROMed it again with O2 stock 2.3.3, the dialer etc. icons were back too, BUT couldn't open with same ERR messages. Finally ROMed it with O2 stock 2.3.5, the dialer etc. back to work again.

Have I done this correctly and is there any better solutions? Shall I do a clean up to eliminate any bad residue files or better just leave it for now?

BTW my Kies recognize my O2 Stock ROM now so guess my future upgrade to ICS will be fine?

Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbuta:
Anyone knows the answer to problem #1 with my titanium backup between 2.2 and 2.3.5 systems?

I'm about to add apps back to my I9100 today using Android market online. But would be very delighted if I can restore the data using Ti Backup as well. I have lots of personal data with Apps like Notes, V1golf, whatsapp, etc.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
apps designed for froyo will not always work properly with gingerbread as the file structure is different, you may have to reload the data manually so that the sd card formats it correctly.

you should have wiped the cache and daavik cache before flashing, if the porblem persisted, you needed to do a factory reset to get rid of any stray code from flashing a back up that is in a different format.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbuta:
Many thanks.

I'll manually reload as much data as I can...

The problem is not showing up after the 2.3.5 update. I'll backup my apps + datas every two months from now on, and keep the 2.3.5 O2 stock ROM.

Just in case the problem comes out again when upgrading to ICS... Is it likely to happen again? Or ICS upgrade via Kies will wipe the cache and daavik cache automatically?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
It should not happen again as 2.3.5 and up will be compatible with ICs but when flashing it is always best to clean them yourself before flashing.

When ICS comes out read carefully and foloow the developers instructions as it will most like come out as a custom rom before official stock firmware comes out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbuta:
Is there any method of doing this cache cleaning during normal operation, which won't affect any personal data etc.?

Well, even this won't do any harm to the existing system, I'll backup everything on SD also copy to my PC before doing anything... Lesson already learned...

This is for a VIDEO review of the new Tranformer Prime Tablet

You will need a HD camera, clear voice, and of course a Transformer Prime tablet

I would like to post a review of the tablet on my website but haven't got the funds to buy one myself.

I will pay you $50 (via paypal) for an in-depth review (15-20 mins)

Im looking for someone who has previous experience in doing reviews like this but if you have no experience but feel you are up to the task you can easily watch a few video reviews on youtube to see how they are done.

Hope im posting this in the right forum, hope to hear back from some of you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beknatok:
Uhm, considering the tablet isn't even out yet, why are you soliciting review volunteers?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
The best review I've seen was from AndroidCentral.

Here it is: http://www.androidcentral.com/asus-transformer-prime-review

He also mentions the original Transformer quite a bit so here is the Transformer review as well: http://www.androidcentral.com/asus-eeepad-transformer-review

I'd like to point out that the original Transformer was reviewed April 21st, 2011....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxing:
ah damn i thought it was already out in the US but us here in the UK had to wait

Well i guess this is still good for anyone thinking about getting a Transformer Prime, $50 back in your pocket if you manage to get hold of one when its released and record me a review(later in the month i thought it was for UK but it seems for US too, or i could be completely wrong.)

ye i regularly checkout the reviews @ AC but i really want my own one so i can stick it on my tablet blog and youtube channel.

I hope to find a willing participant over the next few weeks in time for release.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
as soon as i can get it in my grubby little hands, i can put something together for you if no one else has already by then. :)

the only thing is i haven't ordered the dock yet (i'm waiting for it to hit closer to $100 or if i find a deal or something)

so the review would only be of the tablet itself...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chillaxing:
Cool that would be great if you could let me know when you have it.

No one has come forward yet so just send me a pm when you get it and ill let you know if the review still needs to be created.
[Kindle Fire General] killercheung:
I have try to edit my lines in build.prop to get better android market success, however I bricked my device after reboot.

The kindle stay in blank screen after show the kindle fire logo, it still can access through adb , and superoneclick detected it's root , but the system folder is read-only therefore I can't restore the build.prop.

I tried to use su / mount command but it can't do anything except permission denied

Is that possible to use fastboot to restore the system folder?

I tried to rename the kindle official bin to update.zip but fastboot cannot regonize it.

Anyone have a kindle fire system image dump which can be use with fastboot?

Thanks!!! and sorry for my bad english

tried many time’ but it's not working, zergrush can't root the device anymore... thx
[Kindle Fire General] SikYou:
This very same thing just happened to me today, here is my fix. I know you said that zergRush isn't rooting your device but I suspect that you are missing a step somewhere.

-Make sure that zergRush is in the same folder as adb (probably /android-sdk/platform-tools)

-follow steps 1 and 2 here

-now you need to mount /system as R/W

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
chmod 777 /system

then type

exit

to get out of shell

then you should be able to push build.prop to /system (make sure you have build.prop in the same folder as adb)

adb push build.prop /system

then reboot

adb reboot

Worked perfect for me!

Let me know if you have any other questions

[Kindle Fire General] ejrubin:
I bricked my kindle too a few days ago with a bad build.prop. Well, in my case, I somehow managed to move my build.prop to the wrong folder and thus was left with an unbootable kindle. I had root, but I was unable to give ADB permission to use root, so in practice I really didn't have root.

What I ended up doing to fix my kindle was booting into fastboot and then flashing a valid system.img to the system partition of the kindle. Ask around and see if anyone is willing to offer up a system.img and then search for instructions on how to flash a system.img to your fire (I think the command is:

flash -i 0x1949 system path/to/system.img

I would like to turn my OG Droid into a nice portable PMP since i have upgraded now. I have done some searing around and the only PMP ROM i could find has been cancelled and was basically told not to use it. Is there a dedicated PMP ROM out there? I know i could install a ROM and manually remove out all the system services i don't need but i was wondering if someone else had done this already.

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
about an hour ago my battery was displaying around 80% and then after picking it up to send a text, it jumped up to 99 and after about 20 minutes it bumped down to 98 and then later to 97.

Tried a reboot and still popped up as 97. and did a battery pull and still 97. I looked at my battery info and im at 4.016Volts and its showing 97%. i cant remember if this sounds right or not. turned on GPS, bluetooth, and wifi and was able have it drop to 96

I wiped batt stat and shes sitting at 95 now. my hands are up in the air, maybe i found the magic battery :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
What rom are you on? If I'm not mistaken the photon battery shows battery drops in 10% increments not 1%. Try charging to full with phone plugged in, get battery calibration from market, and calibrate it see if that works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
runnin cybik's CM7 with Jokers CM7 kernel. i did do stress tests on the CPU yesterday evening and then a battery test, so maybe she got a little confused. ay 95% right now and battery info says 3.874Volts. im thinking 3.8 range should be more in the 70% range not 90.

Edit: now its at 94% but jumped up to 3.967Volts. very odd
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
I don't think the cm7 photon rom reads the battery stats correctly. I'd actually disable that if I were you. I'm referring to the percent mod in the battery icon if that's what's bothering you or in cm7 settings. To measure battery stats correctly try downloading "battery monitor widget" (free) from market and it will give you correct temps, volts etc. Then again my theory could be completely wrong about this whole 10% to 1% deal but worth a shot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
i have "battery Left" installed and its displaying the same as my CM7 system battery display. I downloaded the app you suggested and its displaying the same % and voltages. good looking app too.

I turned on wifi and streaming pandora to see what a drain would do to it and it seems to be dropping as normal. apparently a giant wireless charger must have rolled over the roof of my office and charged my phone for me lol. im not too worried about it, just never seen anything like this before. time will tell. im gonna let it drain till shutoff and see what happens after a full charger, will take a while to drain this sucker.

[HTC Inspire 4G] dethpikil:
http://​www.informationweek.com/​news/security/privacy/​232200565

This "Diagnostic Tool", that secretly records practically every keystroke on our smartphones, apparently gets shipped out on many stock devices; but rooting the phone gives us the ability to delete it. I was just thinking of the chances that some of our developers are cooking, and hiding it, in our beloved custom roms. Any thoughts?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joshp406:
I doubt our devs would do that. #Paranoid
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
doubtful man, or at least doubtful they are hiding it from us. Let's be honest, many of the devs here use their product so if its related to breached security, I bet all the bacon in the world they would delete before they hide it. I know off the top of my head, ARHD and their devs removed the logging stuff when it was found to be a security issue in their subsequent release. Just my .02 cents.
[HTC Inspire 4G] heathroi:
One of the great things about being able to root was to get rid of the bloat the carriers gave us. Can't see why they they would keep the carriers spyware. also most of the custom roms offer much better battery life so why would they include something which reduces that.:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
Has anyone confirmed this on an Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't believe this is an issue for AOSP ROMs, however if its being included in any of the bases the roms are being developed on, rest assurred that the devs for each ROM know about it and are probably doing everything they can to remove it. A security issue in any ROM affects the devs as well. From the intial report, the EVO had it and I'm going to make the assumption since HTC and AT&T both admitted to using and allowing this type of diagnostic tool, that our Inspire more then likely came with it already. :( Just goes to show you though how little control we really have over the phone out of the box...

When I was stock, I didn't see HTC IQAgent on my phone, as demo'd by TrevE in his video.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alex4lex:
Glad I'm on absolution :) although , makes me think, if it was on our phones, and I flash an aosp rom (or really any rom that doesn't have CIQ) would a carrier notice they're not receiving their CIQ info from a certain number? Or maybe they don't pay that close attention to individuals?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nooomoto:
I think the Inspire just missed the boat on that one. My girlfriend's phone, the Samsung SGS2 (Epic 4G) from Sprint has it. On those ROMs removed carrier IQ is a feature of pretty much all the ROMs available.

I really doubt our devs would do something so devious as to hide their own version of CIQ in their ROMs...many if not all of them are dedicated to eradicating things like CIQ, not implementing them.
