my phone wont stay connected
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Foorperif:
like it connects then 5 seconds later it disconnects
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] cmzeunges:
So by reading this, I assuming that Odin did recognize it before and then failed during the flash. You didn't unplug it before it was finished, right? It can take a while sometimes (and seem longer when something is kinda broken).

SD- Do you think his bootloader might have been corrupted somehow?

Try the Heimdell like SD suggests. Adam's stuff is great. If it fails, do it again, I have had to do it multiple times to get a phone right again (Guy I know flashed a wrong rom onto a different model phone with the wrong bootloaders-- hence using the heimell to load the correct ones onto it).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Foorperif:
can i get a new bootloader then
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] cmzeunges:
There should be an option in Heimdall that you check for bootloaders. IF it is diminshed at first, run heimdall normally, and when it fails, it should be selectable. If this doesn't work out, there is a possibility of a hardware issue. If it works, make sure you hit thanks for Adam and SD for helping out...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Foorperif:
any other help guys
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
If it won't stay connected long enough to flash in odin or heimdall then no, you have no other options.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Altrac:
it kinda doesnt :confused: unless if i did something wrong, here is what i did to my gio:

1. Flash DXKT4 using odin

2. Flash your auto deodexer using recovery

3. Root the phone using xda update zip

4. Let the phone boot and everything is working good...

5. Flash px cwm using recovery

6. Flash ur custom boot.img for init.d activation

7. Let the phone boot and everything is still working good...

8. Flash ur kernel for dxkt4

9. Let the phone boot and everything is good, checked internal system partition >> rfs

10. Backup rom using CWM

11. Flash zip to format system/ chace/ data to be ext4

12. restore >> boot stuck @ samsung gio logo :D

out of curiosity, i use the same procedure using pheix kernel, the rom boots and worked... :eek:

just for ur info only, great work on the auto deodexing file, was hoping to use ur kernel on ext4 internal partitions though... :D

Guys, feel free to post in Bahasa if you must, but put an English translation alongside. It's irritating to read three pages of posts almost completely in a language you can't understand, and the house rules here are pretty clear.

Delanoister: does your kernel work only with ext4 internal partitions? Or can it work with either RFS or EXT or even a mix of both (system in RFS and data in EXT4)? It'd be good to specify that in your first post.

it can work with rfs/ext4 system.

if your system ROM from rfs, just convert it to ext4 system.

my kernel works properly. But, u must do the steps properly for converting system.

if u want your data in ext4, and your system in rfs.

It's no problem :)

Here is a green circle battery mod that should work fine with deodexed ROMs.

Also added a full green theme like Legendary's (thanks to Ksmullins88 and Hoffman1984) which adds green signal bars and green 3G symbols.

OP updated with screenshot.
[Epic 4G Themes] mookdawg7:
Thanks Kenny for the mods! I flashed the all green over Legendary 2.2, and while i'm happy to find the transparent pull down back, it also eliminated the scrolling toggles which I was loving about the new release. Any way to bring back that mod? I guess I wasn't expecting that, maybe I should have?
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
The green mods from the Legendary mod thread are tuned to keep everything intact. I did not do an all green for 2.2 yet but in the meantime grab the greencirclemodfatwifiRC22 from here and I will try to get to the all green RC22 today:

Go to the Legendary mods link I posted and grab the allgreenRC22. That has everything Legendary had as green. Let me know if I have to hunt down a 4G green icon set for you.

I think I turned on airplane mode & then lost ability to connect through wifi. I have tried out the sqlite3 command option. airplane_mode_on is deleted (I checked by selecting from the same table).

(command added for the benefit of anyone searching to resolve this issue)

Apps Tab -> terminal emulator

su

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

delete from system where name = 'airplane_mode_on';

.exit

But this didn't work for me.

I do not have any remembered nodes on my UI (is there a table from which I can remove all previously remembered wifi nodes?). So the option to forget them and reboot cannot be tried out on my NC.

I tried turning on Wifi & quickly adding a secure network, but it always goes back to "Turn on Wi-fi" before I can complete. :(

Someone on another forum mentioned going to Advanced settings (in order to set static IP) in my WiFi settings, but I don't see an Advanced option on NC!

Any help would be much appreciated.

[Nook Color General] andyNooked:
chmod /data was probably the problem

What I did was reinstall Cyanogenmod 7.1. All went through fine with Wifi working. I stayed clear of the Airplane mode option. Since I wished to utilise the space in /data, I did a chmod -R 755 to /data & then created a folder in there with 777 permissions. After a reboot, wifi stopped working. I tried the sqlite3 option outlined above. No use. Hence, reinstalled & stayed clear of /data. All's well so far! :-)

Hello pal,

Infuse only support 3G - HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 but Thailand Providers (AIS, DTAC .. and others, I am not sure..) only support 3G / HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100..

So I think no matter what Modem you flash on Infuse, cannot use 3G in Thailand.., I think.

I also found out something weird is,

Almost every Samsung phones support HSDPA 850 /900 / 1900 / 2100 EXCEPT INFUSE 4G.

So this is because of bands incompatibility as diablo009 said...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] g0t0:
JUST opened it 10min! I will add random things ive added and done to it,here. And will update regularly. Anyone wants me to try something, let me kno.

1. Ran antutu bench and got 10030 on the "balanced" mode! Took a hunch, switched it to " normal" mode and got a 10807!!! To put it in perspective, my a500 OCd to 1408mhz got me 5600.

2...SSOOOO thin.... i own an ipad2and i can feel the difference.

3. Installed tune in radio..speakers are nice! More base than my a500. Not meant to fill a living room full of music, but works great in a small room.

4. Glow room was smooth running and touchy, even while i was downloading gunbros update and tunein radio on pause in the background......oh yeah, still have it in " normal mode"

5.. just got interupted with a firmware update. Rebooting.....

6... wifi seems normal to me when comparing to my a500. Dboth have 2 of 4 bars 30ft from att router through 2 walls. Downloaded gunbros update with no issue. Also ran netflix 60ft from router with no issues. This time router upstairs Prime downstairs.

7... riptide is awesome...gunbros seems the same.

8..camera is nice. Pic i took was pretty close to what you see on your screen. No noticeable color changes (no flash involved).

9.. not too impressed with video camera. Only did a few secs on 1080and 720. Moved around and still get slight hesitations, unlike iphones. Maybe its the software and ICS will b better.

10...browser is browsing is a little herkyjerky. I used both opera and dolphin hd and both felt like they " hung " for afew sec before continuing on. I use these 2 browsers more than the stock because i have more consistant video file downloads with them. Downloading a 1.65 gig video. Let you knowhow it does.

11.. downloaded a 2gb 1080p mkv video file with the tablet and played it with MX Player on HW mode. Played flawlessly. My a500 would have had to use SW fast mode and still wouldnt have played an mkv file larger than 700mb smoothly. AWESOME!

Wow! That benchmark of your a500 OC compared to Prime is sick. Might be an indicator of how prime will hold up to newer dual cores over clocked or higher speeds . That isnt even a small jump, it's a MAJOR improvement. Great first impressions. Can't wait to get mines tomorrow, hopefully, or Friday. Keep us updated. Also if you notice any wifi or gps issues. I'm trying to gauge if those issues are affecting everyone or not.

Just to put that in further perspective, I've overclocked my Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (SGH-1957) to 1.94Ghz (it's a APQ8060 Snapdragon, stock at 1.5GHz) and my best Antutu was 7478. At stock 1.5GHz, I score around 6200. Tegra 3 at 1.4GHz is cleaning my clock though, and the TP at the top of the Antutu charts (at 1.6GHz) is doubling my stock scores. :)

Hey all,

Couple of problems. I don't seem to be getting the correct timestamps for SMS messages received while the phone was off, it just shows the time that the phone was turned on. I'm fairly sure I used to get the correct time when I was on an iPhone. Is this supposed to happen or is there an issue somewhere?

Also, I don't seem to be getting missed calls at all if the phone was off when the call was placed or if the phone was out of signal.

Running ARHD ROM, but I think these issues were happening when I was on stock.

Cheers for any help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
That's how it is.. a text while the phone is off will show the time stamp of when the phone is turned on.. also you won't see a missed call notification while the phone is off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jtee:
Is this an Android thing? Because I'm fairly certain when I had an iPhone it showed me the time of when the message was sent, not when I turn my phone on. Not the end of the world just inconvinient.

Just to note: Viewing the full details of an SMS shows sent time and received time. However, it seems that the message app sorts messages by the received time. e.g. I have two messages sent half an hour apart while my phone was off. The one that was sent second was received by my phone first and listed below the other SMS in messages. Would be better to have it the other way around IMO.
[Nook Touch General] dpippin:
1) Is there a difference between the Original Nook power adapter and the NST one (as far as power output)?

2) Will the nook usb power cord work the same as a generic micro usb cable? I know for instance the nook color cable has extra pins in it to provide more power.

Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] slab:
Don't know about comparisons to the original Nook, but the USB cable provided with the Nook Touch is just a standard micro-USB cable. The Nook Touch doesn't need as much power as the Nook Color does.
[Nook Touch General] bobkoure:
There are no extra pins.

However, as per the USB spec, the center two pins are shorted* together, indicating that the charger is a 'high current' device. Otherwise the device you are charging will assume it's connected to a pc usb port and limit power draw to ~500mA.

*either directly shorted or through a resistor
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
*There are extra pins.

An OTG (USB On-the-Go) micro USB cable has the fifth pin near the ground.

It is shorted to ground directly at the connector to indicate possible host usage.

This has absolutely nothing to do with charging though.
[Nook Touch General] fpga_guy:
The NC micro USB cable does have extra pins. This was verified through a physical examination of a NC cable:
