[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] ggraysonlv:
Upon first use of my new Viewpad 7, I set up my Gmail account on the Email app. Then, later I got the Gmail (version 2.3) app from Market and installed it. I now am getting double (simultaneous) notifications. Ugh. I've tried to uninstall the Gmail app that I downloaded and installed, but cannot do so. In Applications / Manage Applications / All / Gmail, I can Force Stop or Clear data or Clear cache, but the Uninstall button~bar is greyed out. There are no additional menu options at this screen.

If I try to delete my Gmail account in the Email app, it warns me that this can only be done with a factory reset. Since that would eliminate the dozen or so apps I found and downloaded from Market, I don't want to do that. Why can't I uninstall the Gmail app?

Im getting some pretty crazy bugs.

1. When I try to do anything in Rom Manager it says. Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you hve a stable internet connection, and that your sd card is inserted and has free space.

I have been trying it various times in the past 24 hours. I have tried it on 3g/4g and wifi.

2. I woke up this morning and when opening my email app found that the two accounts I added yesterday were no longer there. It was as if I was using the email app for the first time.

3. I am trying to use my ps1 emulator and every time I go in to the app my setting are changed. I even tried saving the settings and restoring them when they are different but the restore isnt working so when I back up the setting they must not be saving.

Anyone know of an app that will record video with an external Mic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speed_phreak:
Hello,

I bought a SGN and 4G was acting really flaky on me, as in even dropping calls. I had No Signal Alert installed and I was loosing connection about every 15-20 mins. In any event, I took it to a VZW store and held my Nexus next to theirs. I dropped connection, theirs didn't.... I exchanged my phone.

Now, I have a new Nexus and it is working great! No drops, speed isn't the best, but I will happily take slower speeds over dropouts. I have not updated this phone to 4.0.2 intentionally because it is working so well. Is there a copy of the 4.0.1 radio anywhere? I don't want to update and be stuck with 4g issues again.

Current baseband is I515.09 V.EK01 / I515.EK02 (4.0.1)

Does the baseband change in 4.0.2? Can someone confirm?

If so, how can we get back to the 4.0.1 radio?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n0thingr3mains:
on 4.0.2 mine shows

I515.09 V.EK05/I515.EK02
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speed_phreak:
Thanks man! So I wonder if there is anyway to get an update.zip of the old 4.0.1 baseband/radio?

I don't want to update to 4.0.2 unless I know I can revert back to the old baseband/radio.... I may have to root the phone in 4.0.1 and try to block the update.

I have this strange feeling that the 4g dropping issues were introduced in 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n0thingr3mains:
i never got to use mine before the update. im guessing it was updated at the store before i got it. havent had any signal issues on the new one yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veper:
Yup, a lot of people in various forums complained that signal issues began after upgrading to 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] str355:
the stock 4.0.1 radio should be in the package for your device here --> http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju

the GSM 4.0.2 stock image has a new radio image in, so i assume the others do as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trainplane3:
Well I just tried flashing my LTE Nexus with the 4.0.1 radios and now only wifi works. I'm trying things now and I will report back if anything changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speed_phreak:
Thanks for the link!

In answer to my own question... I upgraded to 4.0.2 and the radio performance appears to be on par with 4.0.1.

This just confirms that my original SGN, which dropped all data and cell connections every 15-20mins had bad hardware. My new phone works fine with 4.0.2 and the same sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] takaides:
DO NOT USE THIS PACKAGE ON VERIZON PHONES!

This is the base package for GSM phones, not Verizon's CDMA/LTE phones. Flashing this will cause the radios to become useless until you flash the correct files.

The GSM version is base yakju, while the CDMA/LTE version is mysid.

The radio files you'd want/need are here hxxps://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz (replace hxxp with http).

And if you don't want to take my word on it, here's where I found those files hxxps://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/android-building/pJDz7jxCNkk/hH5q1W6x0iwJ

Alright, for those of you who are dying to be able to play Sonic CD but still can't seem to get the extra data to download, here is a mirror with the necessary data. I don't take credit for this, but it did make it easier. I've been playing this game for a while and love it. :)

Sonic CD In-Game Data

Just download the .rar file, toss it on your sdcard using Airdroid or usb cable, extract the files, then copy the folder "com.sega.soniccd" over to sdcard/Android/data. You should then be able to fire up the game. Have fun :)

when i press in my touchscreen sometimes i get random direction S**k particular when im typing suck sometimes i get wrong letter. . .what is my phone problem?did my touchscreen broke?sorry for bad english :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Nope, it's because of the OC kernel. Underclock to ~800MHz or flash a non-OC kernel.

You're under CM7.2, aren't you?

Sent from my GT-S5830
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jusada:
Yeah, judging from your post in my thread your phone has issues with oc. Maybe you better off to not.

sat in my one piece devil outfit as I type. . . . . no. . . really!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Darvadouille:
I already spent a lot of time on that issue, spent boirs, and flashed tons of rom, scripts, and kernels...

It was fine with froyo, but every 2.3 roms had this issue, except kpy and further.

So the problemn has been solved on official roms.

But i get this problem on EVERY custom rom.... Every, except gingereal 1.4, don't know why...

I tried all the CM version, including 7.1 (grif and behrad), 7.2 rc0 and rc1, gingercrust, and all Jusada's rom...

And the problem is in every roop...

I deeply believe it's related to kernel: it's even worst with oc kernel, but trust me, the problem happened with every kernels including non oc.

For me at least, thiz iz the biggest issue on the Ace.

Maybe i will open a new detailed topic, including all what i've done.

I would really appreciate that some dev fix this major issue, poisonning my phone with every custom rom.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] prodal:
I have exactly the same issue and i made the same experiences as you.

KPY and later fixes that issue to a certain degree but it still happens sometimes.

I came to the point that it cant be software related. Because my friends ace doesn't have that problem, no matter what rom he flashes.

So either our cpus don't run stable at stock voltage or the touchscreen is defective.

I noticed that the problem is also related to how you charge your phone. Depending on if u charge it via usb or use the wall charger. It definately happens less frequently if i use the wall charger.

So could it probably be a defective battery?

I'm really thinking of bringing it to the service point but they will prolly just flash a kpy or later fw and say it's fixed
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
The manual book states that if the battery is plugged in to charge, there is a chance of the touchscreen malfunctioning. I have this charging-related issue with my friend's charger (which uses a microUSB adaptor, but the phone is an old Samsung phone): the touchscreen "touches" itself (no sexual reference there).

Another bug I got (which I discussed above) is the malfunctioning touchscreen on an OC kernel.

I can almost be certain that it has nothing to do with the battery, but more with the kernel.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] oFFoy:
can someone explain this in more detail? i didn't really understood what op meant
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Basically the OP says that he's having troubles with the touchscreen, and it's really annoyinng when typing.

I (and several other people) believe it's because of the OC kernel present in Axel's CM7.2 and other ROMs based on it.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
Ok,let's start with kernel first....

I want this guide to be n00b friendly...so lets start!

1)Install Ubuntu 10.10 or later(virtual distro may work too!)......Ubuntu coz its easy for beginners....This guide should work on Fedora distros,but u will need to download separate packages.

[YOUTUBE]dfdpYFMax8M[/YOUTUBE]

Use this for samsung devices:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

2)Download the source code from opensource.samsung.com(easier) or sync the sources from the git repo(easy,but download the tarball as its even easier!)

3)Open terminal and download the the necessary tools:

For 32/64 bits:(i use this)

apt-get install git-core gnupg sun-java6-jdk flex bison gperf libsdl-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev

For 64 bits ONLY:

ia32-libs lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev gcc-multilib g++-multilib

4)Download the code soucery toochain:Toolchain

Note:This is an old toolchain.u may/should use a newer one...(optional)

ur machine is good to GO!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
Ok,so i assume u have set up your machine

Now,all of the files should be placed in ~/Downloads (for my convinience to explain!but u may put it anywhere)

extract the sources and everything else u downloaded....then go into the top directory

cd Kernel

u enter into the root of the kernel directory with this

then type :

gedit Makefile

The Make file will open.........look out for this and change CROSS_COMPILE= "your toolchain path"

EXAMPLE:

CROSS_COMPILE	?= /home/sarthak/Downloads/Toolchains/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-

This will open up the Makefile in a gedit,and the changed values will correspond to wherever u placed your toolchain................the EXTRAVERSION refers to current sub-version of your linux kernel version on ur phone

Get the config from your phone..Type:

adb pull /proc/config.gz

This will fetch a working config from the current kernel on your phone....u can alternatively make a new one with "make menuconfig"

Then gunzip it and copy it to to ur kernel source root:

gunzip config.gz

rename to .config

Now,make the necessary changes in your source.When you are done,type:

make -jX

,where X=no.op cpu threads multiplied by 1 or 2.

Sit down and have a smoke!

The resulting kernel will be in Kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage

Easy,ain't it?

Remember,this guide doesnt teach u how to make particular changes,it just helps u setting up your build environment and compiling from a given source.

This will work for all android phones!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
Making Rom Under Windows

This post is for making your custom rom under Windows environment..

FEw basic steps based on guide by bangalore rohan

-Cygwin

-Android Kitchen by dsixda

-Patience

-Base ROM(like xxkps,zskp7,etc.)

LOOK AT THIS POST FOR A KITCHEN THAT SUPPORTS i9001

-MagicISO

PS-> WIndows 7 users set the UAC level to minimum until you finish the whole thing. And also, make sure that nothing wxcept the META-INF folder in your ROM ins capital in letters!

STEP 1

First of all, let us get the ROM files:

A)

Download terminal emulator from market.

Then open it and type 'su' without quotes and press enter. Then it will ask for root rights.

Grant them.

Then type this line and press enter key

tar -c /system/* >> PDA.tar

You will get a file named pda.tar in ur sd card.

Then after that type 'mount'

While getting pda.tar if ur phone hangs wait for sometime if it still doesn't repond then remove battery and start the phone .

2)Another way to get the files

Get something like Root Explorer from market........

Copy the /system folder somewhere and put it onto ur comp.

After that, you may find something with folders like, : app, vendor,etc,media and xbin.

NOTE-There are other ways,like mounting the system.ext4.img in linux....

Step 2:Installing cygwin on Windows(U dont need this on linux!)

Installing the Cygwin and Setting up the Kitchen

Download the Cygwin files attached below. Extract the zip to a folder. Now, you can see 3 icons, a read-me,a setup, and a folder. Choose the setup. Here You will choose install from local directory. Next, Navigate to the the folder of extraction of cygwin and choose the folder Cygwin_packages inside the cygwin extraction folder. Wait for some time. Then, You will come across a list of file. Click the 2-circle-arrows,untill, it displays “install”

After the procedure is complete, run the batch file. Now, minimise it and extract the android kitchen.

Keep it in some location like C:\Kitchen

Now, open the batch file window and type

cd C:\Kitchen

Wait for some time and then when the location the changed, type

./menu

As this is a HTC kitchen, you can't use all the features.....U can also manually make changes w/o use kitchen.

Go back to the directory,and make a .zip(I REPEAT-A .zip) of the files like META-INF,data,system etc.

When u r done,u r good to flash it !
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] sakindia123:
Ending Notes/Tips

Do not forget to sign the rom!u can find it in the rom kitchen menu..

Its pretty much the same of linux,but

*U dont need to install Cygwin(or u cant!)

*It's much faster!

U can also use kitchen to unpack/re-pack a boot.img of ur choice.

To get boot.img,download any kernel,take the boot.img out,and using kitchen,split it

U will get ramdisk and zImage....Replace the zImage with your own!

Then pack it again...

To make updater-script,use META-INF from some other rom,or make ur own..

So we have to download from this site latest SGS+ package: GT-I9001_OpenSource.tar.gz. Right?

So this part is not working for us because there is no GIT repo for i9001.
