my touch 3 g slide stuck in safe mode tried taking out sim battery did a factory reset talked to tmobile reps for hours no help.. can anyone help even went to tmobile 2 stores no one no how to get out of safe mode driving me crazy please anyone with steps to disable help!!!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adammwhiles:
There are some issues with that phone and the menu button from what I have heard. Your phone goes into safe mode if the menu button is held while powering on, so if your menu button is stuck or not responsive(many users have this issue) then your phone is stuck in this look and no way to break it because the menu button isn't responsive at boot. If you have tried to remove the battery and sim for atleast 1 minute and that doesn't work then your only choice is a replacement device.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] matthewngsm:
It is a common problem as seen from Moto official q&a forum. Do any of you exhibit this issue in game with ongoing freezes that lags the phone for a good 3 seconds? Is any fix in the works?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spimonkey34:
I don't play games but I noticed something similar when playing music. It will freeze for a few seconds seemingly randomly a few times per song. A reboot fixes it temporarily.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] matthewngsm:
I don't have any freezes during music playback but it only happens to me during game, in fact almost every game... I hope I can get more consensus here so somebody can start looking into it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Reazy64:
Fruit ninja, ninja jumping freeze and music sometimes bug..... With power amp
[Motorola Droid RAZR] p_vhd:
Same problem here. A good 3-second freeze in angry birds season, and more severely in fruit ninja.

I guess it is not a software bug. Simply the game doesn't support the device. Check out Angry Birds Season page in android market.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] b.o.n.s:
I have the same with "Wheres my Water' unfortunatly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Astrowe:
the freezes stopped with the last OTA. when i was playing fruit ninja, the game did freeze a lot but after i installed the OTA, no freezes anymore.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] p_vhd:
No OTA for middle eastern versions available yet.:(

Hopefully got the fix for this issue.

I have the same problem in Brazil. With the games Dragon Fly, Fruit Ninja and others. It Freezes... Guess have something to do with some background process. I dont know...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
Try disabling wireless network locations, it runs in the background and can eat a lot of cycles.

Check running processes and uninstall some if they appear to run for no reason.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Onasis:
any updates on this? It is really annoying while playing Dragon Fly (1-5 sec freeze every 30 seconds), Fruit Ninja etc. Almost not usable phone for simple gaming. I'm on FW 30. Though angry birds seem OK.

shadowgun

I noticed that the screen doesn't respond in shadowgun sometimes but the buttons work. Wonder if it has to do with a heat issue - using a otterbox.
[General Questions and Answers] jbpowers:
I couldn't see this same problem anywhere else, please post the link if you know of another place this topic has come up.

I have a MyTouch 4G which is running Android 2.2.1 I'm not terribly techno-savvy, so it isn't rooted, there's nothing on it you can't find in the Android Market.

The problem I'm having is that when I get a text, for instance (this is just one example, it's not just a texting problem) when I pull up the keyboard and try to type, whether it's tapping a letter or using swype, nothing appears in the text box. The screen is obviously fine because I can navigate to, and open the messaging program and even tap the window where my response will show bringing up the keyboard. It's only after this point for 20-30 seconds or so, whatever I type doesn't populate the "Type to compose" box. The text prediction will even bring up a suggested word, but if I tap on it, nothing happens. It's not a lag, the words don't all appear suddenly 20 seconds later.

This was only one example, it happens any time I need to type. The Google search box, the search box in contacts, a note in DropBox....anything.

Has anyone else had this same issue? Or, do you have any ideas as to what I might try to get this problem taken care of?

Thank you in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Jcyber777:
i had the same Problem on my galaxy s when i still had android 2.1

After the Update to Froyo the problem disapeared

Maybe you should root your phone and install a different kernel and rom?

I am quit sure that this would fix your problem:)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darmokk:
Ok so the only thing I actually miss from iOS is the lockscreen info that you can easily have displayed (and subsequently scroll thru) Is there anything similar that I can use on the Galaxy SII?

I've used widget locker or whatever it's called, but it's not really the same. And since it also just "lays over" the stock lockscreen it messes up regularly for me. For example if you hit the unlock button twice within 5 seconds there is noticeable lag while the locker widget thing catches up. I can't deal with that at all lol so I took it off. Hopefully there is something better that I don't know about?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tiki1217:
My Flyer 3G version is 2.3.4 . It supports GSM phone call, but not support other Handwriting Note app. So I would like to upgrade my flyer Version to Honeycomb and I hope that I still can got GSM phone call.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tiki1217:
Thanks everyone to help us to get honetcomb GSM phone call~~~~~~~~~~:)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kego:
Normally HC doesn't (shouldn't) have any issue with GSM, but in our Flyer case GSM is not natively supported neither in GB nor HC.

But I wonder this: If it could be made working on GB, why not the same on HC, considering the fact that most GB programs runs ok under HC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] s_john8686:
Essentially the platform itself supports phone call I believe, but I read somewhere that the phone.apk is there but no skin (or wrong skin) for the phone interface.

If you watch this video, someone managed to use honeycomb Flyer to make GSM phone call, but he did not elaborate where he gets the phone.apk with proper skin from.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6_bZUwbzjQ
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ytwytw:
thats because HC itself doesnt support phone function...

and for that video, i remember if you change the build.prop, the phone will pop up but its still unusable since the video didnt show the speaker and mic working...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
It can?

I only now that VOIP calls are possible but the same apply for the Flyer.

And: You cannot make gsm calls on honeycomb

=======================NOTICE=================================

All your current settings and apps will be gone after flashing a ROOT rom, only the content within Internal SD will be kept, so backup somewhere first.

If you must keep your current apps and settings.. read post #12

==============================================================

You need a Linux environment to do the following... (read #2 if you know windows only)

1. First of All, download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0

2. Unzip it, you'll have a folder "dload"

3. Extract the file" system.img.ext4" from the Update.zip

4. Copy the "system.img.ext4" into your Linux Environment..

5. mount the image file like these...

#mkdir /mnt/tmp

#mount -o loop system.img.ext4 /mnt/tmp

6. put the "superuser" binary into the path /mnt/tmp/xbin

#cp su /mnt/tmp/xbin

7. Assgin the correct permission to the su binary

#chmod 6755 /mnt/tmp/xbin/su

8. Unmount the path and copy the system.img.ext4 into the original Update.zip

#umount /mnt/tmp

9. Put the "dload" folder into the root directory of a Micro-SD

10. Power Up your mediapad, when it vibrates, press and hold Volume Down until you see the Android icon, and it will try to flash the new ROM.

11. After everything is done, Look for Super User from Market, you'll see.

Huawei MediaPad Root, skipping Linux Steps..

=======================NOTICE=================================

All your current settings and apps will be gone after flashing a ROOT rom, only the content within Internal SD will be kept, so backup somewhere first.

If you must keep your current apps and settings.. read post #12

==============================================================

1. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwid...ctId=3779&tb=0

2. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary

OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)

NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )

!!! ALL I did to these files was putting the su binary, nothing else I have modify.

!!! If you still feel unsafe, just follow how I did in post #1 by yourself :)

3. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded in step 2.

4. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD

the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"

5. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.

6. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD

7. Look for the SuperUser app from android market, DONE.

You have the latest ROM with root now.

====================

Alternate TRICKY METHOD:

====================

Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" into your mediapad directly via fastboot would kept your current DATA and Apps untouched.

NOT recommended for production, as Huawei updates things other than the system, so flashing only the "system.img.ext4" may lose those updates !

BUT this method could give you a chance to make a backup via titanium before flashing the new ROM completely.

To activate fastboot mode of mediapad..

1. Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.

2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)

3. Put all fastboot files(attached below as zip) and the "system.img.ext4" in the same folder.

4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...

fastboot flash system system.img.ext4

5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad.. DONE

With root access, do you know if it causes any problems to uninstall some bloatware (i.e, blockbuster app, Lets Golf 2, Blio, Qello, etc)?

Also, are there any ROMs available for the Springboard/mediapad?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] evilforce:
some tips:

1) some distribution of linux may have "read-only filesystem" problem when cp su to mounted system.img.ext4. try it on older linux kernel distribution.

MediaPad root and keeping APPs and Settings

TRICKY METHOD to keep current Apps and Settings.

For important data, please copy it out of your mediapad before continues...

==========

How it works

==========

Flashing only the "system.img.ext4" would update your system path

and keeping your current apps and settings untouch.

Backup your apps and settings after you gain root access.

Flash again the whole root ROM after the backup.

Restore all stuffs after the 2nd Flash.

============

Steps to Follow

============

1a. Download a "system.img.ext4" file which already contain the su binary

OLD: http://www.multiupload.com/0WPLQILCGH (114.73MB) (from ROM dated 26 Nov 2011)

NEW: http://www.multiupload.com/OV7QJ27TGT (118.26MB) (from ROM dated 9 JAN 2012 )

OR

1b. Make your own "system.img.ext4" file like post #1 mentioned.

2. Activate fastboot mode of mediapad by

Power OFF, and connect your mediapad to your Computer with USB cable.

2. Power ON the mediapad with Volume Up button pressed and hold until your computer sense it. (install the correct driver..)

3. Put all fastboot files(attached below as zip) and the "system.img.ext4" in the same folder.

4. Open up a DOS promp, go to the path you have those files and type...

fastboot flash system system.img.ext4

5. Check your mediapad, when it done reboot your mediapad..

6. Install SuperUser app from market, install Titanium Backup.

7. Make full backup in titanium, all those backup files will be kept in Internal SD, which it will not be touched when flashing the 2nd time.

8. Download the latest ROM from Huawei official site..

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3779&tb=0

9. Replace the "system.img.ext4" file in update.zip from Huawei with the one you downloaded/made in step 1.

10. Copy the "dload" folder into the root directionary of the micro-SD

the folder should contain "unlmt.cfg" and "update.zip"

11. Power off your mediapad, insert the micro-SD then Power ON again.

12. Follow the screen, when it finish.. remove the micro-SD

13. Look for the SuperUser app and Titanium backup from android market again.

14. RESTORE everything from the Titanium backup :)

(!! make sure you have selected "RESTORE", not BACKUP, it's easy to mix up!!)

15. You have now the complete updated and rooted system together with your previous apps and settings.

I would appreciate you're patient enough to go through all these steps.. :)

Does anyone know why Ubuntu 11 mounts the system.img.ext4 in a strange form of rw ? I've been over this again and again. I've run up Linux Mint 10 on usb and mounted it successfully but it makes no sense that Ubuntu does the same. There must be something odd with the newer linux kernel causing this problem but nobody seems to know why. It seems crazy to have to run up an old OS just to mess about with an ext4 filesystem.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ALEXRUSS55:
I currently own the Htc Sensation, I bought the device since my HTC Leo had a horrible accident... Broke my heart, rest in peace HD2... And I repidly had to find a replacement, at the time it was between the Sensation and the Galaxy s2. I Decided on the Sensation since I liked the Sense UI and the solid feel.

After having the Sensation for a few months, i never felt completely content with it. The screen is slightly narrower and actually felt much smaller than the HD2. I pack my device to the fullest of apps and with 32gb micro sd card almost full with media.

But I just feel it isint as impressive as the HD2 even though its faster and more powerful.

Is the Samsung Galaxy Note really worth it? I would be buying it Unlocked. Does it pack that extra punch that makes it the next phone I will keep for a while?
