Ummm if you don't do it then its definitely on you...not sprint. I have one and I get perfect service at home...full bars. Why complain about that? Its free so yes it its absolutely worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
You pay for your high speed don't you? Or is that given to you for free? And the average person wouldnt know that u can't do that. To each their own. If u like it then great! I think its a sham. I shouldn't need an extra tower in my apartment to get my cell phone to work.. that is on sprint.. oh and before anything is said about where i live, i am located in the top 5 most populated cities in Michigan. I don't live out in the sticks lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I used to have an Airave, and I also used to work in a Sprint store. The Airave can be configured through your Sprint online account to allow everyone in range (up to 5 phones I believe) to connect to it, or you can specify a list of numbers that can connect to it (that way if you have people over/near, they don't hog it). You'll know when you make a call through it because you'll hear 3 dings before the you hear the ringing sound.

What Sprint doesn't tell you is they'll charge you $200 if you don't use it for a period I think of 3 months, so if you put it away because it's not working or you don't need it anymore, make sure to send it back to them if you don't plan on using it. Also, I believe it goes through your normal pool of minutes (as in mobile to mobile is nullified when you're making calls through it).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
Thank you so much for this! I'm sick of sprint fan boys sticking up for them when the truth is they are no greater then say T Mobile lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
Makes perfect sense to me- If Sprint ships out a free airave to someone and by 3 months later the customer still hasn't set it up nor returned it, the customer should pay for it.

When you live on the 24th floor (0 bars regardless of carrier) and Sprint's the only carrier that will send out a free airave/femtocell/etc I think they deserve some credit.

For me it was either that or I spend $300+ on a cell booster.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clipsedrag:
i agree completely man but for the average person in a well populated city... no airave should be required considering i pay almost 200 a month for 2 phones
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nerys71:
I don't like the idea that it eats minutes.

if its using MY internet bits I should not be charged minutes for it.

if it was no count against my minutes I would be interested since at work I get a "soso" signal in the back room.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
So even if i'm making a call at night with the airave, it wont count under my night and weekend minutes?

ASUS TRANSFORMER PRIMED
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Spidey01:
I've been playing this a while and enjoy it - a little more my style of game and it actually works on the TF. It's still got room for improvement though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] codyrt:
It runs and looks great on the Transformer, definitely a good game. Though it does get repetitive. I also don't like how it uses the system of signing up for services or apps or paying money to get upgrades in the game. This isn't specific to this game, any game that does it is annoying. The weapons you do have access to are more than enough to pass each level so its not too bad.

[Kindle Fire General] Icetech3:
6.2.1 is a perm loss of root? thought it was just not hacked yet?
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
Well until/if it gets hacked it's a permanent loss of root. So far nobody knows a way to gain root on a 6.2.1 KF...
[Kindle Fire General] TKP1:
So if I go and buy one now, will it be 6.2.1 enabled? Or is this something you can decline when it ask?
[Kindle Fire General] bus_ter:
It will probably come with 6.1 or 6.2. But as soon as you go online it will start updating itself. This is automatic, and so far no one has found a way to prevent it happening.

What you would need to do if you bought a new Kindle Fire is update it to a custom 6.2.1 ROM before you connect it to wifi. Then you would be good to go .. until the next update comes! :rolleyes:
[Kindle Fire General] thornd7:
Or root it and swap to CM7..

I got my Kindle Fire, yesterday. Declined to join wifi network during initial setup. Followed threads to root, load TWRP, backup Amazon's rom, and load CM7. Loving it.

Not sure how long we got till stores start stocking Fires with 6.2.1 preloaded, so I wouldn't sit on the fence about it for too long.. When I got mine at Walmart, the sales clerk said I could return it during the next 15 days if I didn't like it. But I'm keeping it.. Good hardware at a reasonable price.
[Kindle Fire General] TKP1:
Believe it or not after reading/posting about this update issue I took my first 1 back to Wally and he gave me another. So its currently in the box and awaiting my next move. I did Root (Superuser but no R/W capabilities [obviously did something wrong] first root) the returned kindle but could not progress. So here I sit once again learning the Kurve of the Kindle. Not UnHappy @ All.

Take 2
[Kindle Fire General] TKP1:
Just an FYI

So right out the SuperSized box I shut off the Wiffy (Newegg Commercial) and took a look at the system version. It's 6.0_userxxxxxx. Reading up on the TWRP and searching for a MAC friendly rendition while @ work.

Productive use of work time, I like it :D

[Kindle Fire General] TKP1:
I have searched all over the place.

Could a better Navigated person direct me to place where installing TWRP on a KindleFire with a MAC is found. I have downloaded the twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img and attempted to follow due processes, only to be found seeking re-routing directions.

Any and all welcomed, thank you, back @ work.

Hey guys,

I didn't know where to post this, so here it goes.

I'm having some trouble. I'm running CM nightly #115. I flashed the Google Apps package from here (the one for CyanogenMod 7). Now sometimes when I'm in the Android Market app, not only does it FC, but it freezes my phone so I have to reboot it.

Scrolling through the app details is what causes the freezes

I've tried CM 7.1 stable, several nightlies and MIUI, but it keeps happening! :(

I also tried cleaning cache, data and uninstalling updates, for the Market app. Nothing works!

Can you please help me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle51:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bounikariel:
thought it was only me and that my phone was a lemon but i simply left all cm an miui aside after about a year of loyalty and went back to an asop rom (crysis 2.0) and it really not that bad going back.. i mean its not miui as far as customization and smoothness but its mad stable with absolutely no issues at all and i cant see myself going back to having "a perfect rom except ..... "..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asctor:
Happens to me the same. I'm using NDT MIUI v10 and from what i noticed it happens only when i'm charging it from the USB port and at the same time browsing the market (just market).

Browsing the market without charging presents no issues. From what i've read around it has something to do with static electricity (might be wrong though) because i am not using the stock usb cable, but a Nokia one.

I've tested with various kernels, nothing seems to fix it. So far i got used not to use the market while the phone is plugged in.

If anyone has any explanation or even better, a fix, i'm interested in it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarcoBi:
Same problem here. Phone totally freezes when downloading and installing something from market while is plugged in. I have original usb cable and charger. It happens either when plugged to the laptop or to the wall charger.

Now running miui 1.2.16. previously I was running GalnetMIUI and with the last update this issue started going on randomly using market app. never happened before with cm7. I didn't try wiping data cuz I'm waiting to do so for the ics miui v4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaui:
The weird thing is that it doesn't matter if the phone is charging or not.

Scrolling through the app details is what causes the freezes (this screen).

This must be a flaw with the Market app :confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neobirdrio:
Flash another older version.. till bugs gone. I also flashed another kernel.. i dont know if flashing another kernel would help,but it work for me, the bugs bunny is in the market waiting to freeze me when im on siyah 2.6, i flashed fluxi kernel, still the same, then flashed excell69 kernel.. seems like the bugs bunny has return back to disneyland. Im happy now.

But this is just for temporary, coz today there will be another version of miui will release, to flash new rom and hope this bunny will not appear again.

Ill post it here for you if anything happen.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zimaia:
Well guys, this forum is really our God

I was thinking my phone was the problem but after reading you guys i realise this is a google bug but in my opinion in the google side, i mean not a bug in market app but in the website market.

I say this because i use market 3.4.4 for several days with no problem at all and sudently this freeze bug arive!!

So something is wrong when our phone market connects with google market database.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've tried a bunch of ****; some misguided I'm sure.

Updated Google Services Framework to 2.3.7 (Gapps has 2.3.3 or 2.3.4) = same issue (likely misguided)

Reverted to OLD market 2.X = sometimes within a few minutes, sometimes within an hour the market updates to 3.1.3, and the next use it updates to 3.4.4 and of course = freeze/reboot upon scrolling through an app description.

EDIT: Reverted back to old market; updater frozen, it's not updating. So it appears that the Market Updater is tied to older versions, whether you have it or not is inconsequential if you have a newer market version as they update themselves automatically. It may have snuck in an update earlier when I momentarily unfroze the updater. So if you want to use the market version 2.X will not auto update assuming you've frozen or removed the updater.

Tried a modified 3.4.4 designed to trick the market regarding dpi, was a long shot, but figured it was worth a shot = freeze/reboot upon scrolling.

Throughout all this Market Updater frozen.

For some reason 3.4.4 and CM7 and MIUI don't get along; not sure if AOSP ROMs are having the same issues.

For now browsing apps on App Brain, and being sure not to scroll when I get redirected to the Market for DL and/or purchase.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'm just running Market 2.3.6 now and calling it a day until 3.4.5 comes out and hopefully doesn't crash on CM7, etc...

My apps update fine on the old market, it's the market updating itself that I was referring to.

Edit: 3.3.12 works just fine, but it updates itself to 3.4.4 quickly. Am digging through the .apk to see if there's some way to modify it so it presents itself to 3.4.4 and negating an actual update. No luck as of yet; anyone have any insight?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neobirdrio:
I installed previous ( not 3.4.4). use terminal emulator to disable market update. it work and i use it with no worries now. even after reboot it still on the same version as I've installed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you're referring to the Market Updater apk, I don't even have that.

su
pm disable com.android.vending.updater

The above points to the Market Updater apk. I think you've just lucked out that your market hasn't updated itself, freezing/removing/disabling the updater apk doesn't have any effect on newer builds of the market (3.1.3, 3.3.12, etc... update in the absence of the updater).

Back to 2.3.6 <---The above code is effective for this build however

Fix for Market freezing issue in MIUI US versions 1.12.23 and 1.12.30

Hi All,

Those who have issues (device freezing) with Market in MIUI versions 1.12.23 and 1.12.30, please follow below instructions to fix. Tested in I9100.

Open root explorer or similar app > Go to system/app > Find "com.android.vending.apk" > Change permission to rw-r-r > Reboot.

This was personally tested by me and I tried downloading few apps from market which was working flawlessly. Please let me know if you still have issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzor:
That is the default permission for apps in system/app for my rom, and bug is still present. To reproduce you actually have to go to an app screen inside the market app and scroll vertically (see youtube vid). Scrolling horizontally through the screenshots while also scrolling vertically will generate this freeze very quickly (within a few flicks).

I am on AOSP rom with market 3.4.4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaui:
It's frustrating that this hasn't yet been fixed. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWierd:
I'll just stick to updating apps and browsing new apps on appbrain or android.market.com instead.

It sucks a lot, but not that crucial that I'm gonna start uninstalling etc.

Sucks that it's only SGS2 with CM/Miui that got the bug :@ If all phones had it, it would take like 1day to get a fix.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charaxan:
Hello people,

I am new here and this is my first message, but I think I have understood a way to avoid the freeze, at least temporarily, waiting for a hard fix.

I noticed (but I am not the only one) that the freeze occures when you are in the upper part of the app page. Probably, (supposition) the freeze comes from the screenshots of the apps.

But, the freeze does not occures directly. It wait maybe five or six seconds to come.

If, when you click on the app to show the spec, you run down rapidly, you will never have a freeze, I beleve. In fact since I know that I does not have freezes anymore.

Do not forget : while your app is installing, you will go back to the app screen, so run down the screen or go back quickly. If not, you will freeze.

The purpose of this message is :

1 : to draw attention to the fact the freeze come from the upper part of the apps page description, maybe this can be used by dev's to narrow their research down

2 : help you (hoping it will work for you) to avoid freezes, even if it is a temporary trick more than a solution.

Hope I could help, best regards and hello to your families, your dogs and the carpet seller.

It worked for me when I was using CM7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirJackGalaxyS:
I have an SGS2 with latest MIUI, and you're right!

I've noticed the same thing: if I scroll DOWN SLOWLY, market freezes (and phone reboots); if I scroll DOWN QUICKLY and suddenly stop scrolling and scroll UP SLOWLY, then the freeze doesn't happen.

And possibly be sure that all the screenshots have been loaded before start scrolling down (horizontal scroll of the screenshot thumbnails do not cause freeze).

It's still a big riddle...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmtaub:
Has anyone tried this out? I just put it on and have not gone through a battery cycle. Trying to see if it will help with battery life.

Running leaked radio on ARHD 2.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Some people swear by it, but then again some people believe a supernatural being exists because someone said so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Yeah I've used it since I got the Nexus and it works great. Does what it's supposed to do. I don't believe in supernatural beings though.

Full disclosure; I have had this bug which manifests about once every week where the touch screen becomes completely unresponsive in the lock screen and there is no way to unlock the screen or turn the phone off unless I pull the battery. I have this nagging feeling that it might have something to do with JuiceDefender but I haven't confirmed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
I purchased JuiceDefender and also Green Power Premium and never really noticed a big difference in battery life against leaving them off and changing wireless profiles.

Getting almost 2 days out of my Nexus so may give them a go once they both fully support ICS just to test.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Star Shadow:
Disable JuiceDefender for a week and see if that bug still exists. If not, problem solved. You can do the same as juice defender by pushing the multitask button and swipping away any apps you don't want. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonarm:
JuiceDefender is not only great for a little energy saving, but also for featured like WLAN by localization and display Brightness configuration.

I used it on the S2 and now on the GN.

On Ics it has some little bugs yet, but it also does seem great job here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paulosman:
I have the basic version of JuiceDefender running on my GN and I swear its making a noticeable difference in battery life.

I have it set to disable my Data connection whenever the phone is locked. It re-enables it when I unlock it, so it doesn't come on when I'm just checking the time. The effect is immediate too so data is there when you need it.

It also comes on once every 30min just to let apps/email sync briefly.

According to JuiceDefender its improved my battery life by 1.7x. I'd be inclined to say its about right...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Lol it does a bit more than that mate. It's the radio function management I need since I'm always too lazy to toggle them manually. I've been meaning to disable it to test if the lock screen bug would go away but I find it hard to use my phone without it now that I've got so used to it. Now that's it's the Christmas holiday though I might give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GaresTaylan:
It made a big difference in battery life but it takes way too long for the device to reconnect to the mobile network when i wake it up. Likewise, it will not allow me to get my emails throughout the day unless I wake it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
The multitask button doesn't kill apps - swiping just removes them from the list. Its more like a recent used apps list - like long pressing the home button on Android 2.x use to be - than a multi task manager showing running apps.

As for juice defender, I bought ultimate, and it was just horrible. Very laggy UI, and felt like it was causing more battery usage itself than saving. The comments for 'ultimate' on the market seem to say the same thing. The free version seems much better, although you don't have as many options. There's also another paid version which is cheaper, but I havent tried it.

Put it this way, I uninstalled it :P Waste of £4.99 which is a ridiculously hefty price for something that cant even get its UI right.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
I can confirm the same behavior on my phone with JD, forcing a battery pull a few times a day. after uninstalling it, I get no more unresponsive screen. I can only conclude that it wasn't playing nice with ics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonarm:
I hope Juice Defenders Team will optimize JD for Android ICS, because I loved the program for its features.
