Hi,

I was just reading the thread, I am trying to get my TF into APX mode so I can try pushing a file into my system/app dir. I think I am in apx because it shows up under devices and printers but when I do adb devices, nothing shows in the list

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
press and hold power and vol +, the tab will begin to power up, keep holding until it powers down, and hold for approx. 6 more seconds..plug in your pc and see if it recognizes the device is plugged in, the only way you know it is in apx mode really because the screen looks like the tf is off. You can also check in device manager usb devices to see nvidia device listed.

Repeat until your pc sees it.

APX mode for Slider?

Does anyone know how to get the Slider in APX mode? I have tried everything in the forms of one click rooters and nothing works. I now have Brk's ASUS Transformer Root Toolkit and it says to get it in APX mode.

All the instructions I have found are for the TF101. As follows:

1. shut off tablet

2. Hold vol + and power button at same time.

3. Machine will start to power up and then appear to shut down.

4. Continue to hold buttons for 6 seconds.

5. plug in machine, should be in APX mode.

6. The only way to know it is in APX mode is it will appear off.

7. Plug in USB

(at this point my Slider restarts every time no matter if I hold buttons again or not.)

8. Do the backup & root option

(Doesn't work on the slider - guess I'm not in APX mode.

Any help would be appreciated.

[HTC Sensation] m1zzl3:
Just have a question for a custom kernel. I'm now running ARHD 3.6.8 on my HTC Sensation and it says Android 2.3.4 with 1.73.401.2. In the first post of the ARHD ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) - latest official HTC RUU 1.73.401.2

This might be sound stupid but I never changed kernel and I do not want to end up with a bricked device so I go down the first post to 'Downloads' and I click on 'Custom Kernel Section'.

Ending up here:

http://xdaforums.com/show...2#post16419842

Then at the HTC Sensation / HTC Sensation 4G / HTC Sensation XE header there are all different versions of kernels and behind that there are descriptions as for example: For 1.45.401.2 (Android 2.3.4) or For 1.35.401.1 (Android 2.3.3).

But none of them is saying: 'For 1.73.401.2 (Android 2.3.4)'

I assume this means that the kernel will replace this to the version which is underlined in the description in the custom kernel section? (So actually downgrade it from the default 1.73.401.2 to for example 1.45.401.2?)

I just don't wanna end up with a bricked device or something

Thanks.

Hi,

If you are wanting a newer kernel,use the one in my signature.

Place it on your sd card,

wipe your cache and dalvik,

flash the kernel like a ROM,

and reboot.

So I've rooted my phone twice following the instructions on theunlockr.com without any problems. Tonight I tried rooting my dads phone and I got temp root using visionary and then was able to get S OFF but now once I rebooted and tried temp rooting it again I can't get it to work. Most of the apps just force close as well. The only thing I can think of is to factory restore by flashing the PD15IMG and then starting completely over. Anyone know why this is happening and what to do?

And also, if it has the bad emmc will I be able to flash the PD15IMG without any problems?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
People tend to assume stuff without even thinking.

What happened to you, happened because of data corruption. Doesn't say anything about "good" or "bad" eMMC, definitely doesn't suggest that your phone is dead and needs replacement. But this thread suggests that reading, searching and thinking will get you better results than listening to people.

You already got S-OFF.

Most probably the only thing you need to do now is to get into bootloader, factory reset the phone, boot into the OS fresh (which will almost surely eliminate all the FCs you're seeing), install Visionary again, temp-root, and install custom recovery.

If you rooted with root.sh method (means, you have engineering bootloader installed) - you don't need even that. Get your fastboot operational, boot into bootloader, go to "fastboot" menu, connect the phone, download any CWM recovery image from the net, and "fastboot flash recovery your_downloaded_recovery_image.img".

And you might get it even simpler than both of the methods above:

Look in the Development forum for instructions on gaining root when already S-OFF. It's as simple as flashing PD15IMG with only a custom recovery image inside it. Since you're S-OFF, the image will be flashed by the bootloader without questions, and you'll get a custom recovery. The PD15IMG will be found in the right thread.

From there just boot into recovery and install a custom ROM of your choice.

Good luck.

Search before asking next time.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gizmo001i:
Hi,

I have searched the Forum and so far not found a definitive answer. I have only just got my phone secondhand and I know that there is supposed to be an automatic update to sense 3 and gingerbread. However, I think my phone has been switched off for the last few weeks. Therefore, I was wondering if I have missed the update or has it still not been released in the UK. My phone was locked to T-Mobile, but has been unlocked and is now on Tesco (O2). I have checked the update option in the settings and it says that my phone is up to date, but I have read that this can also give a false reading. I will probably root my phone at some later date, but don't want to just yet, but would obviously like to run the latest official software. Any advice as to whether I have missed the update or not and what to do if I have would be very welcome.

Many thanks

Hi all,

I found out that Captivate has GPS chip problem when it is COLD.

If you can warm it up it will work fine.

You can try it in warm environment.

While it is working, try to turn on AC in your car to cool it down and you will see it say GPS signal lost.

Turn off the AC and turn on the Heater to warm it up, GPS signal will be OK.

Good luck.

[Captivate General] zinkoxyde:
Temperature doesn't seem to affect mine. And no 'fix' has ever worked for me.

I don't care how long it takes to lock as long as it doesn't drift.

I did notice though, that the time is off by 24 hours when I do get a lock (according to GPS Test and GPS Status).

When I connect to my external Bluetooth receiver it is spot on.

Has anyone else had this experience? My guess is that the firmware is returning the wrong time, and that is making the positioning calculations impossible.
[Captivate General] grndnl:
can someone explain why temperature would effect the GPS in any way? thanks..
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Not sure if you mean time, or GPS being spot on. I haven't paid any attention to time when using GPS. But I have an external one, and it works MUCH BETTER, pretty much what I would call spot on.

However, the last couple times I"ve used it my phone has locked up. I am thinking it is the BT program I am using in order to use the external GPS. What blue tooth program are you using?
[Captivate General] 4n6science:
Will this work for my Captivate running mosaic 9?

Sent from my Captivate running Gingerbread
[Captivate General] zinkoxyde:
Both the time and the GPS location are correct when I use an external BT receiver (Delorme BT-20), but the time is exactly 24 hours off. That could definitely cause drift after initial lock (not to mention cause problems locking in the first place).

I use "Bluetooth GPS Mouse" by Argotronic. There is also a problem with the Captivate's Bluetooth implementation from what I've read. My bluetooth headphones, gps and obd-ii car scanner tool tend to lock up my handset from time to time. It seems to have a problem with sustained serial data communications over bluetooth.

Bluetooth GPS Mouse seems to be pretty stable as opposed to the other BT programs I've used, I guess you get what you pay for. It's a real hassle to drag around two devices on the off chance of needing directions.

I seem to remember stock AT&T Eclair being pretty good with GPS.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

Some electronic components are sensitive to temperature. Temperature changes conductive properties, among other things (for example, metal expands when heated). Heat dissipation could also be a factor. Electronic boards can warp, components can separate from the board or the solder can crack. More likely in this case, it just looks like it's working. I've seen tons of people claiming different things have fixed the GPS. Until I can get a lock in standalone mode, and keep it, I'm not calling it fixed. :p

Seems I wasn't crazy about the time thing, but apparently it has only manifested since 2012 rolled around:

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail? id=24000

This article is about the Tab, but it looks like it is across the board.
[Captivate General] brentett:
Hm i never really thought temperature could affect the gps chip, might have to do some testing.
[Captivate General] kb9nvh:
expansion and contraction of metals possibly fouling the antenna connection is the only real thing I can think of. Anyway, for me there never was a real fix. moving to GB really helped but not enough to make the GPS really reliable. I finally got a replacement phone moving to a build 1101 and that has a pretty good gps that is useable in most circumstances and probably as good as a phone without dedicated antenna can get. Captivates all should have been recalled due to bad gps hardware in my opinion..of course that would have cost samsung a fortune. The phone is great otherwise.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martouf13:
I decided to flash back to stock because I was having some reboot issues. Everything went fine except that I noticed my internal (sdcard) memory was wiped after returning it to stock and re-locking the bootloader and all my backups were gone and music etc... Is this normal? Kinda crappy since we can't just pull a SDCARD to stop it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You relocked your bootloader. This will cause a wipe all across the board. If you wipe via recovery, it does not wipe your sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Relocking the bootloader does not cause a wipe... but unlocking it does.

As well, flashing the data partition with the stock data image will wipe the /sdcard folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xRogerxC:

OP, you may want to seriously consider Titanium Backup if you are not already using it. Then setup a dropbox account, and sync your backups to dropbox. Makes things real easy to restore if you wipe everything. You could also keep a copy of your Titanium backups on your PC for quick retrieval as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Both good ideas. I do both of these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martouf13:
Any way to do this unrooted and still locked? So that when I want to re-root and unlock I wont lose it all again?

Yes. Leave your boot loader unlocked. There is no reason to relock it

Apologies for thread hi-jack...

Gentleman, by leaving the boot loader unlocked will the eventually 4.0.3 OtA still push onto the phone?

I'm completely new to the android scene having come over from the iPhone 4.

- I unlocked bootloader (lost all data as expected)

- Rooted

- Used CMW to install the 8mb 4.0.2 update (GSM)

- Used titanium to back up for the future

- I've left the bootloader unlocked, so my question is - will i have to do the manual update for 4.0.3 as i did with 4.0.2 or will it push?

Thanks all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It will push automatically whether your bootloader is locker or unlocked. However, as with all updates, it may be faster to manually update it if someone who gets it early posts the update link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VipKSM:
Is CWM required to flash stock images, whether they be either the small update files or the full factory images?

No, you can do it with fastboot as well.
