[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
LTE outages started in the Northeast yesterday, but seem to have spread nationwide now. This will cause complete outages on LTE devices due to the switching protocols not working properly

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/12/07/verizon-suffering-4g-lte-outage/
[Verizon Droid Charge] binglejellsx2:
I'm experiencing the same thing. Maybe they're preparing for the launch of the two new phones?

Anyhow, my coworker's 3G Droid Pro is working fine...
[Verizon Droid Charge] pissinguoff247:
No data at all for me in South Florida. As for the LTE outage also knocking out our 3g... Blame the SIM card. It authenticates over the GSM (LTE) network.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Try calling *611 I just called and they have a message playing acknowledging the outage. (For my area at least)
[Verizon Droid Charge] binglejellsx2:
And just like that, my data came back. But it's only 3G right now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
I love forums. Within minutes I get reassurance it's not just my phone!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joelpatrick:
Out in New Orleans, LA as well. *611 confirmed they have an outage in my area.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I haven't had any issues yet today in my 180 miles of driving. Then I had 4g disabled.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AndroidCraig:
Mine went out around 12:45pst. I was next to a has store and they confirmed a nationwide data outage.

Strangely however of all the phones in the store, only the Bionic seemed unaffected. It had 4g when nothing else in store had either 3g or 4g. I'm back with 3g now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] droidfever:
Go to Wireless & Network setting > Mobile Networks > System selection > pick CDMA, automatic. Then you will get 3G. It's better than no data at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Joelpatrick:
Tried this when I first noticed the outage. Didn't work. I was getting NO data whatsoever. Full bars with nothing beside it. Could only call and SMS.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Data has been working fine for me all day(North Hollywood, CA). If it matters I'm running EP4P ROM/Modems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vi3tboiii54:
data back up here in San Diego, CA
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
There is a particular protocol, which currently eludes me, that is required on a mixed LTE/CDMA network to control the switching between the two systems. That protocol is there on every part of the network, not just the LTE segments. If there is a problem with that protocol, this phone isn't going to get any data at all...it doesn't matter if there is CDMA available or not.

Voice and text aren't affected because they don't use the data segment and they don't use LTE, so they don't have to worry with that switching protocol.
[Verizon Droid Charge] projectD:
FYI For everyone, Verizon just announced about 30 mins ago they have the LTE network back up and running.

I can confirm in NYC i can finally connect back on 4G.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanFL:
I rooted yesterday and have not had success getting wifi tether to work correctly on the SGS2 (sprint).

looks like it's a common problem with the SGS2: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1161#c33

anyone get wifi tethering to work with the Samsung Galaxy S2 on Sprint? Is there an apk of the sprint app that will work?

question 2: Wired usb tether seems to work. Would that have worked fine (and free) without rooting?

Thanks for help. Sean

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adith kumar bhat:
Hello friends,

So I just got my play around a week back. So I flashed 2.3.4 , 4.0.2.A.0.42 build generic UK from xda. Flash went successfully .

Other miscellaneous details------> I have unlocked the bootloader but I have not rooted it.

1> I get a( New system update available ) notification message for the same build that I just flashed and I can't clear the message nor can I proceed And do the update(just for sake ) as it says it needs pc companion. Basically how can I get rid of the notification?????

2> what is the best firmware and build currently purely from the perspective of getting maximum games of all types(including unofficial emulator Roms) to run consistently???

3>Is there any particular advantage to rooting in the context of games apart from getting to delete unwanted pre installed apps for more storage space .

4> I come from having a galaxy s and I used to flash numerous roms, kernels and fixes but always resulted in inconsistent performance in the end and that usually inconsistencies showing up after some use of may be a month after call logs have filled up,lots or messages,and bunch of other routine activities and finally sold it after having dealt enough with galaxy and its rfs file system and the infinite work around and patches that are present here at xda . So in general with the xperia play , with my above venture already in place, moving forward how can I make sure I don't land up in the same situation?
[TouchPad General] kurtisnet:
Hi all,

I love my HP Touchpad a lot (mainly due to Android thanks to Cyanogenmod). There's just one thing bugging me about the resolution and the text clarity I'm seeing on the tablet.

Is the current build of Android Gingerbread running at the Touchpad's optimal resolution? No matter which font I tried (currently using Roboto), it still feels not so sharp or crisp to read text on the touchpad. If it's currently not running at 1024 x 768 resolution (maybe due to Gingerbread's limitations?), is there any chance that the quality will improve with the arrival of Ice-cream Sandwich?

I have tried googling this fact and yet to find an answer relating to this. Hope any one with insight knowledge on this can answer better. :) Thanks.
[TouchPad General] TrueYears:
Did you forget the fact that what you are using is an ALPHA port?

Did you honestly expect it to work as good as your phone with 2.3?

Its gonna take a while and we don't have many developers working on it just hang tight for now
[TouchPad General] Jotokun:
Unfortunately the Touchpad has a lower PPI than most 10" android tablets, and as such its going to have somewhat more pixelated text. However, I suggest you play around with the DPI settings. The touchpad is set to 160 or 161, I believe, for market compatibility. Setting it lower will make things appear bigger, and setting it higher will make them smaller.
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
Lower is smaller and higher is bigger.

I like 140 on my TP honestly. Makes everything look sharper to my eyes.

[HTC Desire S] peters.:
Hi,

I would like to know the differences between MIUI.us and MIUIAndroid for HTC DesireS. On US version, in standby mode the battery consumption is about 10-12mA, but on localized Czech MIUI (MIUIAndroid) i get about 20mA. Are there some kernel or undervolting changes compared to MIUIAndroid, which would explain this differences?

Or is it just different current measurement.... I was testing it on 1.11.25 and 1.12.2 with battery monitor widget. Then i would just reflash the same version with dalvik/cache wipe, same programs were running on background + wifi,BT,sync OFF.

Thanks a lot,

Peter
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
20mA is very, very high!!

I'm currently using the MIUI.us 1.12.2 release, without any modifications to the kernel, and using Battery Monitor Widget pro, i see that my standby battery drain is 5mA to 7mA per minute, with wifi or mobile data connected (Sync governed periodically by Tasker automation).
[HTC Desire S] peters.:
You are probably closer to the BTS then me, but 7mA is close to 10ma. If you would change to MIUIAndroid, i bet your battery drain goes to 15-20mA. Therefore i was wondering what makes the difference between two MIUI ROMS of the same version...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Can't say i know the answer to that one, brother. A bit over my head... :D:D:D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Back to MIUI enigmaamit? :D

I returned to my nandroid of miui last week, performed a system update, to the latest build, backed it up, then returned to Endymion :)
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I'm on all the ROMs almost everyday! See my sig! :D:D

I can restore nand im my sleep now, going from one ROM to the other Endy, MIUI, ICS beta, CM, Galnet releases, etc etc... :p:p sometimes all of them in a day... hence the sporadic nature of my support and answers to queries all over the forum! ;)

My phone suffers from this Split personality disorder so much so, that sometimes i lose track of what ROM i'm on, and when i got onto it! :confused:

My current thoughts about MIUI 1.12.2 --- Best release yet. I have NEVER seen this low a battery drain on ANY ROM! Period. And you, of all people, know that i've used all of them! :D
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nice!!

Maybe your might develop a case like Jekyll and Hyde :D

Wow, I still haven't tried ics beata yet!! I only tried the alpha..

I'm tempted to give the latest miui a go again now! My main issues with the early version was battery drained too fast, but now I think I may give it a go!

Is battery better than Endymion?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Without a doubt my friend.

Its better than any sense ROM by almost a 1.5 to 2x factor.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:
I searched the whole GNex forum, and I am aware that to take a screen shot you need to press the volume button and the power button. I have tried doing this several times and in reverse order and I have even varied the length of time between presses on each button but I cannot get the screen shot to work or capture the image. I also tried pressing the two buttons at the exact same time. Is there some setting I am missing or did not check?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Its a bit tricky to get the hang of but basically you need to press both power and volume down buttons at exactly the same time and HOLD them for about 2 seconds. It will then show your screenshot being saved to your phone (sdcard/pictures/screenshots).

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:
Thanks, I'll give it another try. Thought I might have a defective unit or that I didn't have the right setting some where.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
I struggled for quite a bit too until I figured you have to hold it down. It'll then notify you a screenshot has been taken, just hold both vol down and power at the same time until you get the indication a screenshot has been taken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:
Thanks two you both for the answers! I got the hang of it finally... Silly fat fingers couldn't press the buttons at the same time LOL

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bear55:
Yes. I have a Droid Charge. I have no data connection. Even if Verizon wanted to launch the phone today they couldn't because the network needs to work properly for SIM activation (from what Verizon employees have told me before).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
yea, but im sure they are still selling other sim needing devices, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
And that's where Verizon's "logic" fails. They're still selling phones like crazy, and pimping out the RAZR like nobody's business.

Outside of the fact that the RAZR is a piece of **** (compared to other phones that are releasing now...but even if it were great, Motorola still isn't) there's still no logical reason they should be selling RAZRs but not the Nexus. The RAZR and Rezound are still being sold...yet this is delaying the launch? Makes no sense.

[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
Disclaimer

If this does not work the first time (and your wi-fi stops altogether), do not run this twice. See why (and how to revert your wpa_supplicant file) below.

Based on the instructions here.

This has been confirmed working on at least two devices, Virgin Mobile HTC Wildfire S's.

I have thoroughly tested this, and because I am poor I can assume no responsibility for anything bad that may happen.

If you program with batch files and wish to use this in something else, let me know.

Once you choose to enable ad-hoc on your phone, a backup of the original wpa_supplicant file will be made on your computer. (This is in the almost impossible event the new one does anything bad; but again, I have experienced no ill effects.) Save the first backup elsewhere for extra safety.

If you have any issues, post here please.

Description

This program allows you to set your Android phone up for receiving ad-hoc connections. If you have two Android phones and one has Barnacle, for example, and the other cannot connect to it, this tool is for you. It is also equally helpful in connecting Android phones to Android tablets; this was its original intent.

e.g. this.

Requirements

A rooted phone

Busybox installed (if you do not have it, search "Busybox Installer")

ADB drivers on your computer

this tool (download below)

Instructions to use

Download this tool.

Disconnect all your phones from the computer.

Close any Android emulators.

Extract all the files into the same folder.

Run adhoc.bat.

A backup of your original wpa_supplicant will be made on the first run.

COPY It SOMEWHERE SAFE..

Troubleshooting

The ad-hoc enabler doesn't come with a warranty, but it does come with a backup: Every time you run this program a backup will be made and placed alongside the modded wpa_supplicant. NOTICE: If you run this tool twice in a row, the original original will be overwritten.

If something bad happens, simply re-run this tool and choose "revert". Your backup wpa_supplicant will be restored to your phone/tablet.

Just tried this... Went through c:/adhoc/adhoc.bat, said that process completed successfully... Tried tethering phone to tablet... Tablet now says "unable to scan for wifi networks..." Prior to this I was at least able to connect to my home network, now nothing...
[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
Oh dear. That's extra-unusual, especially considering this was made specifically for tablets. Either way though, your original wpa_supplant has been preserved before running the script the first time around... Take special care to backup the original and return it to its original place on your tablet.

Meanwhile I'll go look into why this is not working. On a tablet. From a tablet site. When I am most assuredly posting this on a phone using this file and batch program.

Also what is your tablet model/name?

[Android Software Development] primetechv2:
Updated OP with troubleshooting instructions: I haven't yet added a failsafe on the tool to keep you from overwriting your first backup; not sure if it's necessary yet.

You don't need to flash stock recovery, if you flash original factory rom (f.e 2.3.5), recovery will also be flashed back to factory.
