My Razr SD card transfer speed tops out at 2 MB/s whereas my previous phone (Xperia X8) used to get me speeds near 10 to 12 MB/s.

Is there any way I can improve my SD Card speeds?

I have a 16GB class 4 SD card.

Download SD read ahead or ROM toolbox. By default the Razr is at 1024, compared to 256 which the bionic had.

Hey. Some nimwit knocked my laptop cord out of the wall while my battery was low and scewed up the rooting process when my laptop died. I have a sprint galaxy s2 T989. My screen now says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" It also displays a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. I've tried the Kies but Kiew isn't connecting to phone. Also odin is reading phone when connected. I DL a stock rom now for ICS but I have a feeling this wont work. I just bought this phone. Please help me.

Does anyone else have a problem with the sidekick 4g screen not responding to touch sometimes, and goes crazy, I have to lock and unlock just to touch the screen?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sduvick:
Yep, I see that same issue, I think it may be the touch driver crashing, but haven't had the time/motivation to test and find out if that's the actual issue.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
I have that problem constantly. Go to answer a call and discover that the touch screen is dead despite the screen being on.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] koitsu1010:
I've had the same issue, and I reserched it and did a few test it is the touch drivers crashing due to a lack of memory the 2.2.1 default leaks memory like a sive so use a task manager or memory booster or flash a new rom lol you'll see it stop
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] realrobc:
Oh okay I just downloaded memory booster full from black market, I only had 15% memory free and just got this rom, it free up a lot of memory from leaks I'm gonna see if I have his problem now
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] thaMANSTA:
I've had constant problems with the touchscreen on the SK4G. Any amount of sweat/moisture and it didn't work properly, had phantom movements, etc. I put a screen protector on it and it's not so fidgity now, but my old G1 worked like a charm compared to this thing. I don't know why it's so bad... is this a different/cheaper/crappier touchscreen technology than the G1???

You reported him for not paying money to fix a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place?

On-topic, don't worry OP. My epic 4g sometimes has issues with the touch screen when I get a call as well. I think its an android thing.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] realrobc:
So, report me, then report me again, what the android police gonna come take my phones away lmao
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] realrobc:
If u didn't know android is an open source OS, I didn't spend $300 for a phone that doesn't work just to pay more money on something to get it working, this isn't microsoft or apple

I didn't report you. Just screwing with ya. Lol
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] koitsu1010:
I agree its not apple or microsoft, but do keep in mind that paid apps you don't have to buy and not buying an app and pirating it is like stealing from your locan mini mart it is open sorce not take what you want when you want an crook is a crook. Just like it isn't fair to charge you for "something to make your phone work" its not fair you take money out of a developers pockt, and no personal attacks just speaking truth.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
hi folks, thinking about leaving oc on permenantly (1200 mhz) I an aware of the dangers, but thought about getting some facts, my question is, how long have people been running art 1200 mhz without any issues, how many weeks or months?

Sent using TCP/IP
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiru1602:
1200mhz refers to the highest clock. Your phone doesn't stick to that frequency all the time. It generally scales from 100mhz to 1200mhz. It doesn't really matter if you overclock your device except for effects on battery and I don't think there would be any effect on the Hardware as much as that of an Overclocked computer cpu and considering the average number of months people tend to use their mobile device before getting a new and a better phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
my phone spends approx 20% of its time at Max freq, thats 1/5 th of its time. I think there would be more potential damage than a computer cpu as these have much better cooling (fans), I just want to know how long people have run at say 1200 without any issues.

I'm been overclocking my SGS for over 6 months now, no issues at all.

"Standard" voltage values seems to work fine on my device (1350mV at 1200MHz, 1400mV at 1300MHz) but I've tried to undervolt a bit more than once and had no issues as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bufferpl:
There are absolutely no dangers in OC/UV. The worst thing to happen is a freeze or reboot once in a while if u go too high. I've been having 1.5mhz w/ some UV for like 2 months and nothing happened so no worries.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Been doing that for about a month now. No problem.

Knowledge is Power. Guard it well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeletonboy:
there are no risks if you overclock your device,but of course depends on how you do it. first of all i would not go past 1300mV which is the physical limit of our beloved hummingbird..of course you can do that,but past 1300mV you are going to shorten the life of your CPU. if you change phone every year then,there's no problem ;)

then if you want to overclock keeping safe voltage values just get Tegrak Overclock,don't activate the "CPU MAX frequency" option,go in optimization tab instead and push up the max frequency by little steps keeping the voltage at the default value of 1275. test it a bit till you reach the most stable one. for example my CPU it's totally rocksolid 'till 1132MHz at 1275mV,no more. but there are CPUs which can archieve better results. then if you want to optimize and save battery consumption you can play a bit with UV on the other frequencies,cheers

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goooober:
I got my S2 a few days ago and flashed Cf-Root and the latest checkrom a couple of days ago. I knew battery life was a big issue with S2 so i thought i'd check how mine was performing.

I left the phone charging through the night and after unplugging the battery is down to 80% after just 5 hours. What makes things worse is that the phone has been unused for about 95% of that time. All i've done is send one SMS and flick through my settings a couple of times.

Display being 44% is puzzling since its only been on 30 minutes at about 50% brightness. Android OS is 39% and when clicking on that it says it has been used just 22 minutes (CPU total).

I a real S2 and Android noob so i really have no idea whats going on. This cant be normal surely?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Your display has used 44% of the power used = 20% total so your display in five hours has used about 9% of the battery .

Search all the battery posts and read them for clues .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
Heya, I see that you have WiFi on pretty much and that's quite a battery drainer. It shifted my battery consumption from 1-3% while sleeping to a whooping 25+% (about 6-8 hours of sleep)... make sure you turn off wifi and data services when you're not actively using your phone :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goooober:
Hi,

If i turn off wifi and data when not actively using my phone wont i stop receiving various updates and such? Is it normal for people to have turn off wifi and data when not using the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
Yeah, but you can get them when you use your phone again. I can't speak for everyone but I never have wifi on while my screen is off, it wastes battery and I don't have a social life/need to keep my Internet on ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goooober:
After doing some reading one thing that may be causing this is not calibrating my battery.

When i received the phone it came without about 60% of charge so i just plugged it straight in to my PC figuring i'll let it charge to full while i play around on it. Unless i'm mistaken this was a bad thing to do?

I've downloaded Battery Calibration from the market and i'm currently waiting for the battery to charge to 100% before running it. Hopefully it'll help things.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
The best way to calibrate the battery is to actually charge to 100% (make sure the phone is off) then unplug the battery for about 90+ seconds, then plug it bin and use your phone normally until the battery is depleted to 3-7% then charge fully. BTW I HIGHLY doubt that's the PROBLEM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goooober:
So once i've calibrated the battery and find that that isn't the problem how do i go about investigating what is the problem? I'm far too much of a noob to work it myself :(

I'm considering flashing back to stock firmware and seeing what happens with that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
Reading numerous threads on these forums I've found out that there is absolutely no need to calibrate the battery in SGS2 with any external programs / processes. The battery calibrates and maintains itself during its lifetime (something about a controller chip being integrated inside them).

If I may recommend, flash SiyahKernel , apply the battery optimizations through CWM (install zip from sdcard), and just work normally with the phone for a few days, making sure you remove all unnecessary applications and turning off data services whenever you don't use the phone.

And if you still get about a day of battery with moderate usage, it's very good for you... the stock battery just doesnt live that long with the powerful hardware that is in the phone :)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eebuckeye:
I installed TNT then CM7 without problem on my Gtab. I now want to install a Honeycomb and am not sure what to do..

I believe I have 1.1 loader but wanted to confirm. I went into the About Tablet section to verify which boot loader I have but CM7 does not show it.

1) How to I verify which bootloader I have since I am running CM7?

2) Apparently I need to update to 1.2 assuming I do not have it. How do I do this?

3) I have not seen an overall thread on NVFlash. Do I need to use this? I know I never used it in the past to install TNT and then CM7.

I used to understand the rom updates but it has been quite awhile..

Thank you
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
If you have CM7 running, then most likely you are on a 1.1 bootloader. There is a definitive way to verify this.

You don't need to move to a 1.2 bootloader in order to run Honeycomb. You can either install a HC rom for 1.1 (GtabCombOver), or, install a 1.2 bootloader-based ROM (Flashback), then immediately after installing the ROM, install a 1.1 kernel.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eebuckeye:
If I install Flashback would it be best to change to the 1.2 bootloader?

Which Honeycomb OS do you prefer (i.e.speed, compatibility)?

I also have clockwork installed but I might need to update that also?

Thank you!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Yes--as Flashback is only for 1.2 bootloaders. It also has other requirements like an enlarged system partition, I believe.

The choice of ROM is up to you, really. Since I have a 1.1 bootloader, I'm running GtabCombOver.

Yes--if you switch bootloaders.

[Kindle Fire General] Dmitry_G:
I have bricked Kindle fire while trying to install Android Market. To the point that shell doesn't work.

I made myself a factory cable. So I can easily go into fastboot mode. I tried various ways that people post in different threads. None seem to work as expected.

Is there a way to completely flash the original amazon ROM in fastboot?
[Kindle Fire General] Dmitry_G:
Update: fastboot gives me < waiting for device > now. I'm still using the same factory cable that I made myself and KF looks like it is in fastboot state - the logo shows up on the screen.

I will recheck factory cable a little later. Maybe it broke or something. Though KF still recognizes it and goes into fastboot mode.

Any ideas?
[Kindle Fire General] toonakan:
There seems to be very little help on how to use a factory cable. I am in a similar boat as you. Shell works for me but adb commands do not. I can't push or pull or install. I can navigate, change file names, and move files to some directories. My problem is that I don't know how to put the stock rom on and flash it. I actually have 6.2 on the sdcard but don't know what to do with it.

As for your problem, I experienced the same thing. adb devices didn't list my KF but I could see it in lsusb. I typed the usb description at $ "1949:0006 Lab126" and it called me an idiot or something but then I typed ./adb shell and vioala. I'm sure that didn't do anything and won't ever work again but there you have it.

I have a couple of open questions out there to see if we can get help and if I learn anything I will make sure you hear it next.

[Kindle Fire General] powercrim:
You must insert cable, when switch off kindle by pressing button about 20sec and press once again, kindle will be in fastboot.

After kindle will be in fastboot, with Kindle Fire Utility v.6 install TWRP recovery and with recovey install stock or CM7 firmaware.
[Kindle Fire General] altitude909:
Admittedly, I am a little green when it comes to this but I never got it to list in fastboot devices either with a cable (and I am not sure I am supposed to), you can check if its connected in fastboot mode by:

fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product

it should return "kindle"

from there I did:

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot reboot

To get twrp up and running then I flashed the prerooted 6.2.1. Going back to the orginal rom should be similar
[Kindle Fire General] Dmitry_G:
Ok. Passing "-i 0x1949" to fastboot helped and now I can communicate with KF in fastboot.

But a new problem has surfaced. I'm trying to install TWRP:

fastboot -i 0x1949 boot twrp-blaze-2.0.0RC0.img

It writes "downloading 'boot.img'" and gets stuck there. I waited for 15 minutes.

Ideas?
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
You need to now check to make sure your drivers are now up to date.
[Kindle Fire General] Dmitry_G:
So it seems that I can't really do any operations with fastboot. Every command just freezes at the first thing it does. Weird.

I'm on a mac. I never installed any drivers for KF - it just worked. Do I even need a driver for KF on a mac?
[Kindle Fire General] Dmitry_G:
There must have been something with the factory cable. I finally managed to load TWRP.

Now I'm trying to install stock ROM renamed to update.zip. I push it into /sdcard. Then in TWRP I tap on Install and select update.zip.

I get:

E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)

E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip

What does that mean?
[Kindle Fire General] Dmitry_G:
Ok guys. I found the solution. "E:failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument)" tells you that your sdcard is not formatted correctly. Here is the fix I did.
[Kindle Fire General] mark_a_l:
I already have TWRP installed and also have a factory cable. But I still have a few questions.

1. With a factory cable, is there any way to directly flash the stock firmware or do you always have to install and use TWRP?

2. From reading about TWRP, it seems that after installing it, you can then load the stock firmware onto the sdcard directory and then complete the restore operation. As a safeguard, and to make things easier, I have already put a copy of 'update.zip' on there just in case I need it. My question is - on an unrooted Fire, would it not be a good idea to stick 'update.zip' on the sdcard before rooting? That way if something goes wrong, all you need to do is get TWRP on there and the restore file is already in place. Or am I being overly cautious?
