[Android General] LaPank:
Thanks a lot

for giving these updates, it's very appreciated.

I find it very frustrating, that Google seemingly thinks that Android users only play games with their devices.

Offers of really useful applications (like Star Chart) are very few up to now, even though the Android marketplace has a lot of very useful programs to offer.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
using your computer, go to gmail and reset/ update your account to something you can use then reflash the phone and use the new gmail to set up your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Jaazish:
I'm using a ROM which came without the stock calculator.

I've been trying to install the .apk file with no success (it returns an error).

I also tried to copy the 2 files of the calculator to /system/app but it claims to be a read-only folder, and I really can't change it!

(tried chmod using terminal as root, with no success).

Does anyone have its installation for CWM or some working instructions how to do the copy to make it work?

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickkxNekro:
I used to develop here, but cancelled my phone contract back in may so I havent used my phone. Turned it on today and said it was ready to update to 4.0 (was connected through wifi). Didn't screenshot it since I figured that was meant to happen or was old news, since I hadn't used my phone. Said the file was downloaded and was telling me if I wanted to reboot it would install it. Said the package was 86.xx MB, but it didn't reboot, just chilled. Now, I can't get the screen to come back on, since when I go to Software Update it says I'm all up to date (even though it's running 2.2, and i believe an offical gingerbread was released on it back in the summer?).

Mainly asking, where would that file be stored so I can manually update? Says it was downloaded and ready to be installed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
4.08 is the gingerbread build number. Definitely not ICS! But wow how cool would that be :)

Sent from my Droid Incredible using the XDA app.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I think it's stored somewhere in the /cache partition on the phone. You could copy it to the sdcard and flash it with recovery. It's just the build number and not the version number.

I'm trying to use NVFLASH to install a ROM to my transformer but the .bat file runs and just closes and disconnects my Transformer from APX mode. Can anybody help me here?

whats your serial nmber? if its higher than b70kas about there not sure exactly it wont work so if you have a b80 or b90 it wont work
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icejagans:
I tried using NvFlash for my transformer with S/N starting with B70 and the windows.bat file didn't work.

But good thing I still had clockworkmod to flash a new rom which saved my transformer from being a brick.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amskhan1:
I just want to know what you guys think the best launcher available on the android operating system is. I am currently using the launcher pro plus that came per-installed on my cyanogen mod ROM. do you know any other launchers that aer good.

>>>>>>NOTE TRANCENT LAUNCHER CAUSES INSTA T SCREEN SHUTDOWN ON MY PHONE(SO DONT SUGGEST IT)<<<<<<
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adammwhiles:
I like go Launcher or ADW Launcher. Both are good but used go Launcher the most and enjoyed it the best along with goSMS ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelnv710:
If you want to be fast, go launcherpro or adwlauncher. However, there's a popular launcher emerging called golauncher. Its heavily customizable and you can make it look exactly how you want. You should check it out for yourself.

Sent from my HD2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
I'd say ADW launcher. It is my favourite of all time right now. But I must ask what is Trancent Launcher? I tried searching for it but I didnt find it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GallStones:
I say adw launcher ex too. It's fast and well customizable.

But...btw CyanogenMod doesn't have adw as stock launcher?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amskhan1:
yeah it does

i am running cm7 on my phone

i just wanted to know

because my cm7 is starting to lag a little.

like it takes aa few second to get past the lock screen

and i though it might be launcher oriented
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
Zeam launcher or launcher pro. I prefer zeam
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccawire:
I like ADW Launcher EX in combination with ADW notifier as it is fast and highly customizable.

But the best advice I can give is to try all the free versions of launchers and see which one works best for your device.

[HTC Sensation] pranker98:
I try and set my sensation to 1.9 (1.89)ghz on setcpu. Right after i set it up, the phone reboots and the setting is lost. I tried different apps but nothing changes. i have a custom setcpu setting and still nothing happens. It only works when i overclock to something under 1.9. Anyone else having the same problem? Disable perflock isn't working for me. If thats the solution, how to fix it?

Running SENSEaY - XE35 v2.1.0 with Bricked 1.5 kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Sounds like you weren't aware that 1.7GHz and higher aren't considered stable freqs, 1.9GHz has a high Voltage which may cause the kernel to panic and issue a reboot. Just stick with a lower freq around the 1.2 stock speed.
[HTC Sensation] jupitel2:
Any CPU aren't the same. It seem that your CPU can't handle that much clock speed. Speed on 1.9 and 1.782 Ghz are quite the same. (Quadrant might shows couple hundreds higher but not effect any everyday uses.) :)
[HTC Sensation] pranker98:
Thanks for the heads up. Where'd you hear that? i dont remember reading about it. Is there a way to make 1.9ghz work?
[HTC Sensation] LooieENG:
What benefits will 1.9GHz provide other than wearing down your battery faster?
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Just looking at that voltage table and my experiences with that freq from past phones tells me so :p . Jumping from the low level to such a high one should cause a freeze on any device.

@LooieEng 1.9GHz may help this phone run future Android revisions smoothly, and perhaps Win8 will function on the phone too.

[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
I have a rooted Amaze with just some bloatware removed. Yesterday I received a notification in the status bar that a system update was available. When I try to run the update the phone reboots and then freezes with a big green X on the screen. Doesn't look like something official. Has anyone seen this before or know what it's about? I'm thinking maybe it's just failing to run the update because of being rooted or a related issue but can't find any info on Google about the green X.

I finally pulled the battery out because it wouldn't respond and then turned the phone on again. It booted fine and I still have the notice about the update. I'm reluctant to try again until I find out what's going on. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
I don't think you're able to install an update through a custom recovery..There should be a ROM with that update already in it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bryanthomas007:
If you have a Custom ROM you can't take the update that is intended for stock unrooted ROMS.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
Thanks for the feedback. I don't have a custom rom - just the stock minus some bloat. I can see how the custom recovery, however, might interfere.

I can't find any info on the update and what it includes or why I might want/need it but assuming it would be good to install then is there an easy way to remove the custom recovery? Would running the stock update.zip do this or do I need to go through the full un-root process?
[HTC Amaze 4G] skr_xd:
If you have CWM recovery already,

1. Go to /downloads folder inside the internal Storage. You can find the OTA.

2. Rename it to "update.zip" and copy to External SD.

3. Reboot the device to recovery.

4. Select update.zip and update manually.

5. After update & reboot, delete both original files to get rid of notification.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
Thanks for the directions. Tried and got this error

verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/FriendStream.odex", "some very long hex number", "some other long hex number")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(stage 7)
Installation aborted.
[HTC Amaze 4G] skr_xd:
Seems its not possible as you have removed some programs:(

Think you removed friendstream also.

It seems to work only if the ROM is unmodded:(
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
Yes, I removed facebook and friendstream. Not sure why those would be necessary to run a system update but you may be right about not being able to update a modified phone. Maybe the update isn't anything I need anyway if it wants to update an app I don't want.

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
In case anyone has a similar issue, here is what I've figured out.

The update won't run on a modified system - even if it's a stock, but changed, rom. In the interest of exploration, I restored my backup using clockwork and then ran the update. It still didn't work, but following skr_xd's advice above I was able to run the update manually. The result was a more or less stock phone without root but with the most current software. I then re-rooted the phone and re-removed all the bloat with no apparent ill effects.

Thanks for the help.

Btw, I didn't know what the green X was all about, but I think it's related to clockwork mod. Could be wrong though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
yes its the custom clockworkmod i made
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidux:
Thanks for the confirmation and awesome software. I noticed there is work on version 5.0.2.7. Assuming it would be wise to update once released.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zazabichi:
Same issue here. I have stock rom without any bloatware removal.

I just unlocked the bootloader than installed CWM and rooted the phone.

when I try to update phone OTA it stucks in splash screen (With Big Green X logo)
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
Flash prerooted rom you good to go
[HTC Amaze 4G] darll:
I just spent abut 4 hours trying t figure this out...

This is my journey..

Relock bootloader

Flash one of the stock tmobile ruby rom in development section

Did the OTA update on stock

Unlocked my bootloader again

Then i tried to root using one click zerg method but it didnt work

So i flashed clockwork mod using fast boot

Then applied a su binary update i found in the development section.

In less than a minute i got root back.

Then i restored my data from nandroid backup.

My phone is pretty much rooted, bootloader unlocked, bloatware free alongside having the ota update that enabled wifi calling installed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmbrad:
You don't need to relock your phone to do the update. If you do xboarder's recover to stock method just skip the relock part you can update your phone. So far going back to stock is the only way to get the radio updated as well which I am noticing way better 4g coverage than before!
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
working on a way maybe this weekend will have it ready :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmbrad:
NICE! Dude you must never sleep! Always the first to get something done!
[HTC Amaze 4G] zazabichi:
I figured out what to do. You just need to rename this update file to update.zip. then reboot in recovery and choose install update from sd card. Next navigate to download folder and install update.zip file. You will be updated and stay rooted at the same time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] darll:
This worked for you because you didn't remove any of the t-mobile bloatware from your phone.. This will not work for people who messed with the pre-installed bloatware.
[HTC Amaze 4G] zazabichi:
Maybe, but 8m I've got another problem after updating this way. Wifi doesn't work anymore. I receive an error while trying to switch on wifi.
[HTC Amaze 4G] metalmilo12:
Can you please help me out man? I am a noob and I really need your help. I updated my software, and now the zerg rooting tool wont root my phone, I have an unlocked bootloader. Please give me instructions on how to root, and install CWR. Thank you, please HELP ME!!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] rkbanet:
Well I had a BSOD (a freeze to a black screen that could only be fixed by a bettery pull) a couple of days after my update to version 893. I ws hoping the upgrade would fix this. Has anyone else also had a BSOD after the 893 update?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Geezer Squid:
I've been on .893 since the leaks were first discovered and I've had zero BSOD issues.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PhilDX:
i have been running 5.7.893 (newer than the current OTA) for more than a month now and still experience an occasional BSOD, the frequency is reduced, but they still occur
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
+1 same here
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
Same here - no BSODs, and none of the other errors that others are experiencing.

in fact, the only problem with my BIONIC is self inflicted - I tried to force it back to stock (just to see if eFuse would trip) and now on boot I get a flash failed message, and can only boot the phone via the bootloader. But, other than that, All is well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] chay03:
I installed the leak version. The only thing it made better on my bionic was the camera. Still having BSOD, and random 3g data drops.

Unfortunately, I gave in an bought the Razr. It seems alot smoother and faster. Just more fluid. Screen is better.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lykofos:
I installed the official OTA last night. I never got a BSOD before the update and I haven't gotten any since the update so far either.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dougdascenzo:
Sad. Have had 3G drop out completely twice in one day since the update. Guess it's time to start hammering verizon for a different phone. Certainly not going to wait for the next update after how long this one took.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cmjohns24:
I never had the BSOD before the update, but just had it today after update. Completely stock before and after.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thetingster:
Depending on where you are located. A cold phone could be a problem. My friend's Iphone began BSOD when he would leave it in his car in 20(f) degree temps.

I have had BSOD several times but am now running 5.7.893 and think it's related to some kind of app interaction. About 3 weeks ago I did a factory reset, rooted and have been gradually putting apps back on for three weeks no BSOD. Just some thoughts.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] docabe:
I am stock and received the 55893 update. I expected it to fix the things it claimed to fix but it appears it has not. I still lose 4g often. More often than before. Sometimes it switches to 3g and sometimes I lose all connectivity. Before, it only would only switch to 3g and stay there. I also am getting reboots more often now. And by correcting that so-called high pitched whine, I have found that the audio volume for music has significantly decreased. Also, when charging the phone while off, the battery no longer reads accurately. It tells me the phone is at 20% and less than10 minutes later it is fully charged. WTH Motorola?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] trestevenson:
Same boat. The phone won't wake up from sleep probably twice a day, and I'm forced to pull the battery. PITA.
[Vibrant General] anticipation:
Hi,

I'm using samsung vibrant and currently in india. I'm not able to connect to 3g on airtel and vodafone networks. I am using stock kb5. I tried playing around with settings in 197328640 .

Can someone help me with appropriate settings to make the 3g work on my phone.

1. Debug screen- common

2. Phone control

3. Network control

I'm not able to select combi bands in band selection

The sim works correctly on other phones.
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
check this out..

www.sensorly.com

Verizon told me.I have great 4g coverage but this apply says otherwise...damn salespeople and their scandalous commission ways
[HTC Rezound] jawiler:
According to their map I shouldn't have any signal at all, yet I do. Though, not as good as the Verizon map says I should have. The maps are meant as general guidelines and not actual fact.
[HTC Rezound] callcom:
Try using a Cell tower location map...

When making my decision to select a new carrier, I used the following website to determine the closest cell tower to my house. Turns out that Verizon has a cell tower 2 blocks away, and I get excellent coverage (was on TMobile and they kept dropping calls as I had dead zones within the premises). This cell tower map can be especially helpful when dumping your land line in favor of using a cell provider for service from your residence.

http://www.cellreception.com/coverage/
[HTC Rezound] birddog79:
This map is a joke. It's not even close. I'm not trolloping by I know for a fact my area has complete coverage on and especially off road. I spend a lot of time out in the high desert and forests where I live and I have never lost or not had 3g signal. According to this map, I should only have service on a couple roads.
[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
I went to that site long ago, I miss Alltel lol
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gnahc79:
Sorry if this is the wrong section, but it seems like the only section specific to the Captivate Glide.

My wife's Glide is stock, very few widgets (google voice, battery, stock clock) and Android OS shows up at 40% when the phone is idle overnight and during the day during use. She has fb set up on socialhub with only contacts synced, 2 gmail accounts, and Touch(used to be pingchat). wifi is enabled and connected for most of the day. bluetooth is on too, but only connected when in the car.

I don't think it's Touch since I have it on my Atrix and Android OS is at 2-3% for me.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
do you have apps that can access your location? (weather apps, maps etc.) If yes, you may wanna go settings > location and security > and then uncheck "Use wireless network" in case you have not done it yet.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gnahc79:
I don't think that's it. I have location enabled on my phone and have a weather widget. The wifes phone does not have a weather widget.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] vil33:
She might have some app that is are using way too much cpu, try doing a factory reset and check the usage, mine is currently %17.

Also the facebook app is a notorious battery thief. Battery usage percentage isn't standard for different people, if she's not using much features, the majority of her battery will be used by the OS since there is nothing else to use it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gnahc79:
Wouldn't phone idle be the max usage? For my Atrix phone idle is at 70% or so when I barely use the phone and Android OS is 3%. I can try disabling facebook overnight to see if the Android OS usage goes down.

The battery life for this phone is ok. It hits ~30% or so in the early evening, meaning we need to charge the phone if she goes out that evening. For my Atrix the battery doesn't hit 30% until midnight under light usage conditions (no games).

Is there an app or logcat keyword to filter to break down exactly which thread/process is using up the CPU?

edit: nm, going to read through this first :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gnahc79:
From looking at the wakelocks with BetterBatteryStats the likely culprit for the battery usage is the facebook chat portion of the fb app. The wife has many contacts in the chat, so it's probably polling quite a bit. For me the wakelock count for fb chat is fairly low. fb chat is a must for the wife so I can't disable it.

Also in the process screen I see several kworkers with high usage...not sure exactly what's causing that.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gnahc79:
so for whatever reason the battery drain is now more acceptable even though the Android OS usage is still at ~50%. Could be the fb update, but the good battery performance occurred before the fb update.
