[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadood24:
Just did the modem process so we'll see if it works lol Fingers crossed! do you know if there is an issue between messaging with ios and aos?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carycooke:
its a verizon thing and even IOS has the same problem

as you can see here http://community.vzw.com/t5/iPhone-4/Not-receiving-sms-messages-on-iPhone/td-p/495728

you really need to check out different radio versions

from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048128

and see which one works better

just make sure its named right and you need both cdma and lte put one at a time on root of sd card and flash through bootloader

If your not recieving texts i know a definate way to fix it while verizon works the kinks out but you can use google voice download it from the market and set you up a account and it doesnt use verizons native service it goes through internet to send messages

I use all the time and its free for me since i have unlimited data

but that will fix you up

---------- Post added at 10:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

also this was told tyo me by a verizon techy that if you go into applications and under the messaging app your using clear cache and data it might work and it did for me but it started back a few days later but it can never hurt

1st get another radio version i like 802 LTE and 817 cdma but they all work different for each phone

2nd clear data and cache from messaging app

3rd use post steps that i sent to you a few post back to get into the radio info for verizon technicians

if all that fails

4th this always works use google voice to send messages

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 AM ----------

and if you use a generic battery and the cover does not have good contacts

your signal will be weaker also

I had to get a verizon extended battery cause i bought one off internet and my signal dropped pretty bad and when i put OEM back on it it done way better

that was way back when there was so many gps problems tho but every little thing helps and the higher quality contacts inside your battery cover even helps

I've never tried to flash a radio through bootloader before, is it as easy as flashing a Rom in recovery? My buddy updated my radio for me so I didn't have to. That's alot of useful info for sure man thank you! Do you work for Verizon? Lol

[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
yesterday my keyboard suddenly stopped working. Whenever I dock the tf its as if nothing happens. Except when the dock is plugged in to the charger..then I see its battery icon...red...with a question mark. When I do logcat I see something like battery state unknown.

Anyone got any theories. Ibsadly lost the serial for the KB and I don't think I can rma. It.

Sidenote....as I type this I become more and more painfully aware of how I hate soft keyboards.

Almost forgot...using latest prime rom
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
Grr...is there any way anyone would let me borrow their devices serial number. Asus wouldn't even start the email process without a serial.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
First of all, I'm the guy who soldered in a 500 gb hard drive into my docking station and some other people's docks. I know the hardware inside out. If you don't have any other option, consider sending your dock to me and I'll try to repair it. You pay for shipping. I guess I'll do this as a favor so I won't charge anything.

Again, explore your options and send me a PM.

Added by edit.

The serial is attached to your dock. How did you lose this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
I dunno if they changed the way they are attached to the serials on newer versions but on mine it was a flimsy sticker...which got rubbed off the device I guess.

Anyhoo...right before i went to sleep I actually had an idea of sending you a pm about letting me have your serial...as I'm a bit desparate (enough to ask a stranger for a favor) and I know how your mod (albeit quite awesome) renders your dock irreversibly un-rma-able. Then I log into the forum and here you are =)

Anyway...I might just take you up on your generous offer but I have a feeling that my docks battteries are the problem. Do you know if the dock works if the batteries are dead?

In the log cat....I see something like: unable to detect battery health €#£'#&'###'.

The gibberish part isn't verbatim...but there was a bunch of giberrish symbols after the message.

My symptoms are basically the tfiner doesn't respond at all to the dock....except when the dock is plugged to the charger...then the docks battery icon shows up in a red error state.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Even if the battery is dead, your dock should still work. My guess is one of the connection wires is the problem. Can't know for sure until I do some tests.

My serial number wouldn't work for the following reason. I sold my old one with the 500 gb hdd and got a new one recently. Upgraded it to 750 gb :D . So, my serial # is now B80. Yours, I'm assuming, is older than this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] maxvsmith:
Call me stupid but I did not actually know that. That's incredible. I have always found it weird (i use the dual battery app widget) that is shows my transformer at 100% and my battery dock dying. It's never really gotten to 0% yet. Does that mean when the battery dies the USB connections still work as well? So really the extra cost in the keyboard dock is the battery life. God I love this device.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Yup. I've disconnected the battery many times and the usb still works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
I have a few question. firstly I leave GPS, wifi, and Bluetooth always on, I use all of then frequently, and wifi assists gps, how much battery does this drain? is it large or small?

secondly I have Widgets, they consume battery as they're always on right?

thirdly, when you leave an app by pressing home, and not an exit button, does the app still use up battery? some apps don't have an exiting option, and some like opera have one, but then have a setting whether or not you want the exit button to exist in the menu .. it makes me so confused ..do some apps use battery just by having them installed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Firstly is this a funny thread cause u have like over 300+ in the thanks meter and more than 500 posts the questions you have asked are well ....... not very 500+

I'm pretending that it is'nt a funny thread and the questions are legitimate :D

Wifi and GPS use a hell lotta battery like 20-30% in 1 Hr by my considerations it's a large amount of battery.

Yes widgets are services running even if you use them or not they do consume battery.

Yeah some apps have that problem i remember buying captain america the game was the very first android game i bought and was bamboozled on how to exit it after palyin :D ....... just hard press the center/home button for like 5 secs and a task manager will open up with all the recent apps (running and closed) hit the task manager button and force close all the running apps with the exit button beside them. Apps don't consume battery by having them installed but by running services associated with them :p uninstall useless apps = less background processes running = better battery life :D

Hope it helped :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
It depends. Wifi uses batterie, but it could use less batterie then for example 3g. But 3g also could use less batterie then wifi. It depends on your personal situation. Wifi and 3g off will improve your standby time.

If you don't use gps, it will not drain batterie. But if you leave bluetooth on at all times, even when not connected to a device, it will slightly drain your batterie.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
Just to elaborate...

If you leave GPS on all the time, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's actually on. It's only on when apps use it. For example, if GPS is on and I'm just on my homescreen doing nothing, the GPS radio is not actually on. But once I launch something requires location services, that's when it kicks in (eg, Google Maps, the camera app if you toggled on geo-tagging, etc).

For WIFI and Bluetooth, you mentioned you're using them frequently. Frequently is different from constantly. If you're using them constantly (ie, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week) then you have no choice but to leave them toggled on. But if you're using them frequently, you should just toggle them on when you use them and toggle them off when you're done. No excuse not to since you can easily do it via the notification bar or widgets.

About widgets.

Yes, widgets consume battery. But not all widgets are created equal. Some will consume more than others. Basically, widgets that require network access to pull updated info drains battery more than those that don't. Just be smart about using widgets. That's all I can say.

About apps and exiting them.

It's now widely accepted among the geeks that task killers are a no-no. I would even refrain from using Samsung's built-in task manager (unless for exiting frozen apps). Most apps don't have an exit function. That is by design. Android manages tasks very well on it's own. If you interfere with the process, it'll likely just do more harm than good.

That said, you do have some degree of control over whether an app stays opened or closed. In general, if you press Home button, the current app will stay opened in the background. If you press/spam the Back button to get out of the app, the app will exit.

Quick reason why I don't believe in exiting apps to save battery life:

Let's say I've been using the browser app. I then press the Home button to return to the homescreen. The browser is still in the background. I'm done using the phone for now. Consider the following 2 scenarios.

#1

I long-press the Home button. I tap "Task manager". I tap "Exit" for the browser app. I then press the Home button to get out to the homescreen before finally pressing the Standby button to switch off the screen.

#2

I simply press the Standby button to switch off the screen.

Keeping an app in RAM indefinitely will use less juice than having the display on for the extra 5 seconds required for you to close the app. As a bonus, you'll be able to resume your browsing session later on which consumes less juice than opening a new session.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noed:
Do you know a way to keep GPS always on? I want to control it manually.

It's annoying if I'm between apps that use GPS and apps that doesn't... everytime I switch, GPS will loose locking and I will need to wait it finding sattelites again.

Hoping that a few people will want to post their opinions and discuss. After all, we are passionate about smartphones. Otherwise we would not be on here.

Thought I would add something on my "brick" line of thinking. I and a friend got two different phones at approximately the same time in 2008. I got the BlackBerry Storm 9530. He got the HTC Dream (or G1, whichever you prefer to call it). Mine looks, feels, functions as if brand new. His is in a sorry state.

What is a phone??? Lol but seriously I do agree we have strayed far away from the cellphone era. We have entered a new age that began in 2005, which I like to refer to as the connected age. With the growing number of smartphone users it is easy to track down anyone you want. Everyone is connected to everyone. Our phones grow larger in size every 6months. I remember when I wanted the smallest most compact flip phone. The bigger it was the uglier it was. Now.... anything under 4.3 inches I cant even use lol. I predict in ten years smartphones will be non existing. It will be converted to tabs. U can buy a tablet for half the price of a brand new sgs2.
[General Topics] negrobembon:
I disagree with tablets being "better" that smartphones or smartphones being replaced by tablets, not everyone can or want to travel with a tab everywhere

A phones portability will trump most of times(a quick pic, quick vid, listening to music, browsing in the crapper,etc)

What i mean is that your not always able to go with a carrying bag(well girls can) or a notebook sized thing in your hands, thats when the mini tab in ur pocket comes to use

Might not be as good as a tablet for somethings but its still performs ok and makes calls, and its very easy to carry around

On the other hand, if the tablets are to replace something, is the laptop

[General Topics] cliff p:
The only argument I have is that in which you seem to feel that Blackberry devices are superior in terms of security. I disagree, and also feel that a SPoF has finally shown blackberry devices to be vastly inferior in terms of both security and content delivery.

Food for thought: the US Gov't has finally decided to branch out from the bricks of yesteryear, and now are starting to allow iOS, W*, and A* devices on the AEN with server side security policy implementation. That's saying a lot since they've previously only allowed a BBD on the AEN as all other devices "couldn't be secured". Kinda hard to secure a RIM server in Canada...

It is not that I am a great fan of BlackBerry. It is just that I am very uneasy about Androids. What is to say you will not be charged $1,000 on your next bill due to an exploit allowing premium text messages to be sent from your device without your knowledge?

Yes, I have a bias towards security. We have Facebook and Twitter, which are used as breeding grounds for all sorts of mayhem...Obviously all they have done is displayed all our private information to the whole world. That is really going to be regretted by everyone using those services...Sooner or later. We have the multimedia Androids which ignore fundamental issues and have grown too large to comfortably use. HAVE YOU NEVER HAD TO REALLY STRETCH YOUR FINGER TO REACH AN ICON, OR USE ANOTHER HAND?

Regarding tablets, are we really suggesting that they can beat laptops at anything important? If the general stream is towards mass procrastination, tablets have helped us achieve that. But I do not see the next 10 years seeing tablets replacing laptops.

This might get deleted but is there a way to boost 3G signal on ns4g?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pewipo123:
why would you get deleted???

1) make sure you have the latest radio avail...

2) update your prl

3) find a nice rom with some radio/reception twee

4) dowload a stable fast kernal

and make sure you have a decent signal....Seems like 1bar of 4g isnt any faster the 5 bars or 4g.....

3g on the other hand isnt as lucky.. 1bar is waaaaay slower then 5...... so make sure you have at least a semi decent signal first..

maybe a real dev. on here can be more help...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shark_On_Land:
I'm not a "real Dev" but I'm about that illusive level.

Your 3 & 4 are silly.

1.If you go on rom manager. (Need to be rooted, flashed cwm, blah blah blah) go under Peter A. Then flash the radio the most current radio as you would a rom.

2.Prl and profile are +'s

3. You could try making your own self made satellite. Using a bowl, foil, Ethernet cable, and tape. Look it up on the Tube.

Other than that just check your signal in the menu. On different radios. -45 is about perfect signal -100 and up is weak.

Thanks, that's the 219-33 driver cab. (33 is tmo)

One down; many, many more to go.

Wonder if anyone has the link for the 219 US and EU cabs.
[Venue Pro General] ATFLoKee:
Hopefully this helps. I was one of the people who waited a long time to receive my DVP after ordering it from Dell. So it came with '7392' installed. The phone is locked to AT&T, and due to their combined "support" :rolleyes:, the first update rolled out to us was 7720. This is the cabs sent in that session. Captured with Fiddler.

Peace.
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
That's exactly what I was looking for in my other thread (which links to this).

Hypothetically, someone on the same level rom (7720-8107) should be able to install this over their 00-US/00-EU/33-Tmo rom and turn it into a 31-Att device.

there's no point obviously, if we got a 00-US/00-EU bundle you could hypothetically turn it into that.

What we need is someone that has previously flashed the 7704/33-Tmo FFU to try pushing this with cabsender. I say after having used the FFU as there's no way of knowing if it'll work or simply brick your device. If you've already done the FFU install you could (hopefully) do it again if it bricks it.

Strangely enough the 31/att one includes a "TMobilePageOnce.xap". the att version's the rarest, so they likely didnt bother putting much effort into recustomizing it.

Edit: wait a second, the 33/att one is different from the normal ones.

The Att one is a "1A4" submodel and the others are "2A4", flasher beware.

It's also built later, the other 219's date to aug 22nd, and the att one is oct 4th.

Could you post your firmware version? is it:	2250.1800.7720.219? I dont know offhand how to manually find it in the cab

[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
I was referring to this one specifically: Seeking anyone that hasnt updated their non tmo VP, but hey results are results.

I'm really curious what the 00-US and 00-EU ones are now, as there's a 1A4 and 2A4.

I believe both 00's are 2A4's though.

Wonder what the differences are, as your bootloader ver is the same as the other models,

I'm not aware of any firmware updates (baseband/dsp/modem) being pushed over an update.

The update bundles dont seem to contain them (or if they do they're not obvious).

It's unfortunate that the cab names include their sha-1(?) hashes, otherwise there's the (very small) possibility of simply guessing at the filename until you find it.

How did you purchase your VP exactly? Did you buy it yourself or is it a 2ndhand purchase?

I was able to get mine unlocked and I bought mine off ebay.

I just had ownership transferred to me, told them that tmo explicitly was unable to help me (as mine was tmo locked) and requested the code.

A couple phonecalls and emails later I got my code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hurley81388:
Hi all,

I just rooted my phone tonight and froze a bunch of bloatware using Bloatware Freeze found in the Market.

I went to go study and listened to music on my phone for a few hours and noticed that "Wi-Fi Share" used more battery than anything else including the display (something like 30%).

What is this Wi-Fi sharing? I've had my phone now for a week and have never seen this show up in the battery stats. Is it just a coincidence it shows up right after rooting or is it directly related to the rooting/bloatware freezing process.

Also, I did not freeze Wi-Fi Sharing or Wi-Fi Sharing Manager because I did not see them on a previous forum post on safe to freeze programs.

Thanks!
