Hello,

I upgraded my 9020T from 2.3.6 to 4.0.3, as you all. I tried with the upgrade, with the full version,and with the new CM9 kang based on 4.0.3. I tried to keeping my existing apps, and to clen install.

In all scenarios, the result is the same : My efs folder (IMEI storage...) disappears after a reboot.

Never had this problem on 2.3.6.

I have kept the new bootloader and the new radio, I am back to 2.3.6 and it works, so it is coming from something in the rom itself.

Hopefully, I have an EFS backup :-).

Anyone else with this bug ? What should I try ?

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] phone_user:
same here :( I can't straighten out this problem.
[Nexus S General] aic719:
Try flashing into something more stable and then restore your efs.

[Nexus S General] aic719:
Btw questions like these should really be in the Q&A section. Unless you'll are looking for a ban.

[Nexus S General] daniel3ric:
Btw looks like I am more looking for help.
[Nexus S General] daniel3ric:
I went back to 2.3.6.

Btw what do you mean by more stable than an official update ?
[Nexus S General] herman3101:
Something weird is happening with my efs too. A few weeks ago my phone started to intermittently not connect calls out of the blue (i.e. hadn't just flashed a new rom). I installed the 2.3.6 update followed by the incremental ICS build on Sunday and it stopped being able to make calls altogether.

Last night I realised this was an efs problem and managed to restore it from a backup. I then installed the full ICS OTA and could still make calls. This morning the problem has returned and *#06# confirms that my IMEI is missing again.

Either this ROM is overwritting my EFS afters being flashed (e.g. on reboot) or the portion of internal storage for efs is corrupting.

Will try restoring the efs backup tonight whilst sticking with the ICS rom and will report back.
[Nexus S General] phone_user:
Solved! :)

[TOOL][Multi-Platform] EFS Backup & Restore

This restoring caused problem on ICS. Some files' permission do not meet the originals. There's no trouble on GB.

Original permission

770 /efs/bluetooth

770 /efs/imei

700 /efs/lost+found

700 /efs/.nv_data.bak

700 /efs/.nv_data.bak.md5

600 /efs/.nv_state

600 /efs/nv.log

700 /efs/nv_data.bin

700 /efs/nv_data.bin.md5

666 /efs/bluetooth/bt_addr

666 /efs/imei/.nvmac.info

600 /efs/imei/bt.txt

So I deleted /efs/, copy and paste the backuped /efs/ and put permissions samely with original and rebooted the device but IMEI was not restored.

At this point, I did Recover your IMEI in 9 steps

Solved!!
[Nexus S General] mobile_pc:
Thanks for the link :)
[Nexus S General] thomasck:
Any help guys? I'm facing the same prob. Tried many stuff n nothing has worked.. Now I'm back to GB 2.3.3 n no luck..
[Nexus S General] bedalus:
Great, I've passed this on to window7 who might be able to add it to his radio post.
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
arite. I finally found this thread becuase I'm having IMEI issues on reboot. What's the best way to reset the permissions of all those files? (linux newb here)

I do have a backup of my /efs/ folder on my SD card.

I'd like to fix my phone.
[Nexus S General] android_nexus:
Backup must be done before the phone corrupted. Did you?
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
yes. my backup was done months and months ago. it works fine for GB but apparently ICS has permission problems so I keep corrupting IMEI every reboot.
[Nexus S General] android_nexus:
Yeap, that'll be OK! Good Luck dude
[Nexus S General] Lowroad:
Having the same problem. Upgrading to ICS kills my emei number and reverts to the default 00049.

In GB restoring the emei works fine.

In ICS restoring emei works as well, but after a reboot, it reverts back to 00049.

Very annoying :(

Luckely everything seems to work fine with the default emei, but i dont like it one bit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
I really like the new ICS Folders, but do tend to flash a lot. Any way to back them up so you don't have to re-create them every time you flash a new rom?

OR, does anyone know of a folder app that has a similar style to the ICS folders?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robifis:
bump ... wanna know the same thing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _hyperdude:
Nope, not that I'm aware of. You could use a third-party launcher like LauncherPro or ADW that has homescreen backups, but I'm not sure any of them have the same kind of folder capability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asphire23:
I backed up mine using titanium backup pro and it restore back all my apps including my folders. I did had to setup all my widgets back though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
I didn't realize titanium would backup the ISC folders... I guess next time I load a rom, I will give that a try. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
the folders should be tied to the launcher. so backup that up with titanium or similar app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
Get that, but how do you backup the stock launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vismal:
can this be done with the free version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The Free version of TiBackup works just the same for backing up and restoring. But the paid version gets you batch 1-click restore, and several other advanced features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
When I was flashing new ROMs, titanium backup was not restoring my ICS folders. However, if you use the Nova Launcher, which is based on ICS and do a titanium backup of that launcher, when you restore, your folders come back. :D

It's the little things in life that make me happy !

Nova Launcher is really nice !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] radiopayola:
I backed up the stock ics launcher with titanium, and restored just the data..not the app. This worked fine to restore my folders, but I had to re-create a couple of shortcuts for apps that 'weren't installed' after flashing peter alfonso's 4.03 nightly. It seems to me that the launcher itself might change between 4.02/4.03, so I wanted to play it safe and keep just the data. To be honest...even keeping the data from 4.02 makes me nervous. I just don't know enough about it.
[Kindle Fire General] lonelliott:
I am so stuck. I can boot my fire into the twrp system. However, when ever i try to update or flash anything it says that my sdcard cannot mount. Not sure what to try next. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
Are you connected via USB? The computer might have the sdcard mounted.
[Kindle Fire General] lonelliott:
I am connected on the computer, but it wont mount it so that I can navigate the files. I can fastboot and adb the kindle. When I adb push the files needed to restore, it gives me an error on the recovery saying that it cannot mount /sdcard/update.zip
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcoholic:
Tango is supposed to be released Q1 2012, so shouldn't beta be released by the end of this year? Or is Microsoft waiting for CES?

I got mango 7711 on my phone about 4 months before final 7720. Going by that time frame tango should be out for beta 1 but i haven't heard anything from microsoft about a tentative release schedule for the beta.

Anybody think tango is being delayed until a better chip is manufactured that doesn't kill battery life with the LTE radio? RIM is waiting till end of 2012 to release blackberry 10 because of the same problem with LTE. And i'm sure Apple is waiting as well.

Tango was never meant to be a huge upgrade over mango (that's Apollo), so i'm guessing its some features with mostly hardware upgrades such as LTE and dual core processors.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casey_boy:
Maybe that's why. We didn't get NoDo early...

Casey
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcoholic:
Didn't think about that, but you're right. Mango was big because the apps needed to be changed to work with instant resume and live tiles. If the apps don't need to be upgraded for tango, there really isn't a reason for msft to release the beta.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xson:
I think it will be available after details reveal on CES 2012
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
7740 Wasn't released to us either... Mango, like Windows8, needed apps to be recoded and recompiled... It made no sense to release it to devs with the general public because no apps would have been available. Tango doesn't represent any change in the way apps run, and I'm sure Microsoft has their own beta team testing it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJSave:
I wonder if there will be Georgian language support. Mango lacks it. It would be nice to read in Georgian in native apps.

Hi

The rom that is now locked for warez reports, is it a good rom and worth flashing?

Thanks

This one:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382934
[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
warez reports? says pending..so maybe its nothing.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
I've been running it since before the closing of the thread. As far as I know, the 'warez' refers to a certain paid app already installed and included with the ROM, which is against XDA rules. The ROM will not harm your phone.
[Atrix 4G General] benny6812:
Cool, so what do you think of the rom, was it easy to install? Any overclock that comes with it, just general review.

Thanks for response.
[Atrix 4G General] Drisc0:
I've been running it on my phone for about a week now without any issues. It doesn't come with an overclock but works great with faux's kernel. I have had less issues with that rom then I had with the normal CM7 beta. It's my favorite rom I've tried thus far on my atrix.
[Atrix 4G General] Zero-K:
I've been running it since the first Beta.

No major issues, but also haven't found any big benefits over CM7 other than a couple themes and a launcher I didn't care for.

And like ar31791 said, I think the warez was just the version of Rom Toolbox that was included was the pro version. But it was removed before the PreRelease anyway.

Personally I hate Rom Toolbox, so I just deleted it and installed RomManager anyway
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
How can u compare the two? They're for completely different things. They kinda work well with each other.
[Atrix 4G General] wakkakai:
I thought he took out the full version of rom toolbox, or is there another app he is ripping off?

So far it has been a good rom. I had to find a version of google talk that would allow for video chat. Also not too crazy about the camera.

If there are more warez and no further development I probably wont support it for much longer.
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
I believe rom manager premium was included as well
[Atrix 4G General] marko!:
hte warez report right now is a live wallpaper included, either than that it is a sweet rom. I was running it untill neutrino came out
[Atrix 4G General] LogicGate:
I've been using it since 1st Beta so far it is great! The Neutrino is also a great one.
[Atrix 4G General] b2bstarz:
I'm running it and so far so good.
[Atrix 4G General] Zero-K:
The two? I assume you mean Rom Toolbox vs RomManager? I know they're different, I mean personally I just found no use for Rom Toolbox above what RomManager did for me.

Not to mention every time I tried to run it (I believe it was the pro version at the time) it kept telling me I had to install the pro version of RomManager to use it. Even with the free version installed, it still wanted Pro.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palladin:
Hello,

First of all i wanna say i couldn't find any thread about LG optimus sol (E730).

My question is "Will it be possible for this phone to run ICS ever?"

And by that i mean is there any chance for LG to update the phone or is any dev willing to bring an ICS rom to this device or are there ROMS from other LG phones that are compatible to this one?

I am considering buying this phone so any answer/advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm11:
Don't buy it , no Dev support and lg will take years to provide ics upgrade x
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmerezeanu:
I just bought it. I'll know more in a few days I think but so far is a decent choice for its price. The phone appeared only at the end of September so I think this is the explanation for the fact that there are no custom ROMs. I guess in few months we'll know if it will be a hit and will get better support from LG or our beloved devs. If only the phone will repeat at least half of the success story of Optimus One we'll be lucky.... :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jurrasstoil:
It will get an official ICS update in the 2nd quarter of 2012, together with the P990 and that PRADA phone. The P970 and the Optimus 3D will get an ICS update in the 3rd quarter.

I'd like to post the Source, but i only have 2 posts, so i'm not allowed to post outside links... so... yeah, just check LGs Facebook page:

It offers quite a decent bang for the buck, but indeed, it has very little dev support so far. I'd probably fork out a little more dough and get the P990 instead.

PS: Of course the release dates are to be taken with a grain of salt - it's LG after all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palladin:
i just bought th optimus sol and I have to say it blew my mind. I previously owned an LG optimistic one. I find smartphone with 4 inch displays to be a bit too large for me. It is very fast and I am glad it will recieve ICS after all.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duduman.:
Really this phone does not deserve any attention from the XDA community? There is no thread allocated but only mentioned in a few posts. That's a shame...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ct0ru:
Probably this phone will catch attention but in the near future.

It is really a nice phone for its price
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragosP2010:
Indeed.

Dar parcă s-ar vinde numai în România.:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borok90:
+1!

Im new in this foro, but i no found any subforo for the movile. And i think its a good phone, although the LG support have bad fame...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruwin:
Ok, so far almost no E730 user has any interest in developing this phone. The phone will get custom roms if he has a forum on XDA. A forum won't appear unless we vote too. So get all our friends and stuff to vote.

PS Thanks God for CyanogenMod... at lease we have A custom rom.

I've had this happen on different Android devices for me. Not sure the exact root cause, but clearing the application's data forces Gmail to resync. This has always resolved this issue for me in the past.

Hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bocaJWho:
Thanks, I'm having the same problem too - whats the easiest way to clear the application data (sorry, I'm an Android newb)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeykrim:
On the Galaxy Nexus go into Settings -> Apps -> All (tab) -> Gmail -> Clear Data.

If you wanna play it super safe, restart the phone, but probably just opening Gmail up will allow it to recognize its memory has been erased and trigger the re-sync process.

Welcome to Android!!

Hope that helps!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I mean honestly why couldn't they have left the volume button off and put another port or speaker or something! Honestly they could have integrated the volume nicely into their quick settings bar!

Or better yet made the a piece of the bezel with capacitive volume buttons...

I think they volume buttons where a waste of time on asus's part!

I know they are nice to have but common be different!

Also does this have a orientation lock switch?

A side note I really live ICS's spell check and copy and paste its so much nicer than gingerbread! Except its not the same through out like Gmail for example is different the the browser which bugs me! Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Come on now SMH. Of course it's needed. It don't need another speaker grill as most that actually have device in possession said the sound is great. .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Still why not have it be on screen?

You don't turn the volume up and down while the device is off lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Because that is just normal for an tablet/phone? Why do you even care?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xmtsystems:
Let's hope it is better than your PC36100 :P

I was disappointed at first about the single speaker, however I've remedied this with some Logitech bluetooth speakers. The lack of a volume button is one of my only gripes with my Kindle Fire, so yes I think it is absolutely necessary to have a button.

I'd be willing to bet, that if they added an extra speaker, and left off the volume control, that I'd be reading a thread titled "Is there a reason for the extra speaker"... blah blah blah they could have put a volume button in its place, and other nonsense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
because otherwise every single app would need to add some way of adjusting volume in the app?

waste of time and space? I doubt having a volume rocker wastes much of either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Also, volume rocker needed to boot into that fast boot mode or whatever. If device is soft bricked, it needs hardware button combination of volume and power to bring it into that mode to fix the issue or hard reset to take back to factory defaults/rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
No that could be software implementation!

You have that dock bar always showing! Why not put a button on that silly!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
what dock bar? When you are playing shadowgun on your prime you expect there to be a dock bar so you can adjust the volume? It doesn't work like that and would look really bad if it did
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dandrep:
Your point is interesting. Amazon chose not to put hardware volume on the Kindle Fire and that is one of the points that they are getting skewered on. So I am guessing that the software only volume control is in the minority. At least on Android devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Uhmmm how do you get to the home screen then? The dock bar on the bottom! Lol! Have you never used a tablet version of. Android!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
ahhh I see what you mean I thought you were talking about having capacitive buttons you mentioned as a possibility.

But either way, its a solution for a non existent problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Still I do not see why android needs any physical buttons...

Everything would looks so nice without them!

I see the need like you said to get to the restore and such as I use that often! All I see android needing is 1 power button but even that could be just like slide over like the back of the PS Vita!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amtrakcn:
I don't use the volume button much, I wish there would be an orientation lock which I use much more frequently than volume adjustment.

Also I don't quite like the HC/ICS way of copy/paste, you have to move far away from the text you just selected to press the copy button. I think it look cool but not intuitive.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andddlay:
I used to think the volume button wasn't important on a tablet, then I got shot in the knee with an arrow.

;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
I think the volume rocker is needed. I find it very inconvenient if one needs to click the menu and adjust the volume every single time. I think its one of the reason why there are short cuts on you laptops that allows you to adjust the volume. For example if you are playing a first play shooter game and you want to adjust the volume, having to go into menu, change the volume will very likely get you killed.

And also, I think the reason Asus choose the single speaker instead two speaker is due to the size of the speaker. Instead of using two smaller mediocre speaker they chose to include one really good speaker which is bigger in size. Simply removing the volume rocker there wouldn't be enough space to add that second speaker. And also there's problem with the cost.

This is going to be my first tablet and I was wanting to hear from the tablet vets what are the best, must have apps and what are the best practices for ownership?

Do you recommend some brand of shields for the screen?

Best cases for the transformer?

Apps that you install before anything else?

What services did you tie in and are their any tricks to using the? For example I use to use dropbox to sync many system pref between the systems by making symbolic links to the Dropbox dir. (yes, that is a very old and not usually needed trick but you get the idea.)

Are their any cases that allow the tablet to dock w/o removing the tablet from the case.

What do you think of the asus drive privacy terms? I will not use amazons cloud drive w/o encrypting the entire contents due to their privacy clause.

Splash top works well on my wife's iPad was planning to use that, then heard of asus's implementation of splash top or is there better for android? Did some searching on it and found asus is using splash top too, is there any reason to buy splashtop hd? Didn't see any solid answer on that with google.

I think that is enough of my ideas just interested in hearing what everyone has found in their own experences.

I did some searching and all I have found is threads about best app and such looking for alittle more that fotm apps. Though I think my search foo is weak, if this has been posted sorry and would appreciate a link pointing me to the right place.

Ah one more from me any brands of shdc cards I need to avoid?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
I ordered a skinomi clear skin /screen protector! This will allow It to dock! I would have gotten carbon but the speaker cutout will look weird! Remember that with any case their will be a square cutout for the speaker!

I'm in the same boat as you this will be be my first tablet!

I think you should have made a separate post for the must have tablet apps!
