[Motorola Droid X2] Arbybear:
What do I backup when I sbf? Can I back up everything I need with TiBu pro? When I reboot my phone after sbfing, is it like getting it out of the box, but with a newer version? How do I restore everything? Will it save app data?

Sorry for all the questions, but I need to know.

Edit: Also, if it is like getting it out of the box, what happens to my verizon plan?
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
You can back up your apps and data with TiBu. After sbf your phone will be like new, out of box, and you will need to activate your phone. It does not effect your plan. You can restore your apps and data from TiBu after the sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] Arbybear:
Thank you. Is the only bug in 2.3.4 the battery percentage?
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
I am using cm7 so not sure what issues you might encounter with stock 2.3.4.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
If u aren't on a rom or have any tweaks

just sbf

sbf doesn't wipe ur user data AT ALL it just upgrade ur system

BUT if u have a rom running or scripts or tweaks like that then u may bootloop after the sbf and will need to data wipe from stock recovery to remedy the bootloop

If u r dong sbf just to upgrade u wont lose ur apps data ...
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
so do you HAVE to wipe after sbf? I thought I had read on here that people had successfully sbf's without a wipe? as your post would seem to suggest?

I sbf'd for the first time in forever tonight, but didn't wipe just yet cause I didn't feel like setting everything up from scratch again.

But I still have superuser listed in my app drawer, but I seem to no longer be rooted, and had to reactivate the phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
If the "crashed" rom is the same as the sbf no wipe needed but it's a crapshoot if "crashed" is custom rom then sbf will need wiping!:);):p
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
not necessarily

im not exactly sure why sometimes you need a wipe, and sometimes you dont.

i havent sbfd enough times to figure that out cuz i can usually just nandroid restore back to where i need to be.

but i have definitly sbfd from a rom like eclipse and NOT needed a data wipe

and i have also sbf'd when just stock rooted with some tweaks and NEEDED data wipe to stop the bootloop.

if you did a sbf you no longer have root access

i am not sure if the superuser app will be wiped away at this point if you do a data wipe either, superuser is usually a /system/app am i correct?

BUT if it is a user app(found in /data/app) then you can just uninstall the superuser via manage applications

if it is system/app you NEED root access to be able to remove the apk

if you wanna check if you are rooted or not just try to use an app that requires root access, if you are not rooted it wont work. ;)

so yes, you inferred correctly, a data wipe is not NECESSARY after EVERY sbf flash, BUT it IS needed if you get caught up in a bootoop, data wipe from android recovery is the only way to get out of a bootloop resulting from sbf flash.

it is aso recommnded to data wipe after a sbf flash just due to issues that may arise later and u might have to data wipe then to get rid of those issues, you might end up never needing to data wipe, but if you do run into issues, that will be the solution

sorry, im not tryng to ramble here, just trying to be clear as much as i can based on my experience and based on the many results of others and their feedback.(if i have caused confusion i apologize, just ask and i will try to clear it up, i just watched hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, if u have ever read the book or seen the movie you know where my mind is right now LMAO)
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
well I was just going back to stock for, ya know, reasons

I had been just rooted stock at the time. I really don't want to wipe and set everything up from scratch again.

Root is gone, BSR is not functional, but they both still show in the app drawer.

Pulldown toggles are gone.

I think I'm going to give it a shot like this and see what comes :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loukalok:
hi every one...

i think that many of you are using miui v4 of i9003

this is so fast and smooth..

but why i lock the screen

then after 4~5 sec the screen back screen will relight????

can some one help me???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
This is probably a kernel problem... wait for MIUI v5 which will come with Vurrut Kernel. Then your problem should be solved.
[Kindle Fire General] mmtrago:
i think i'm going to pick up a kindle fire tomorrow and root it....right now i'm using RockPlayer to play AVIs on my i777 GS2..can the same thing be done with the kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
yes - does fine - i use mx video player from the market
[Kindle Fire General] mmtrago:
awesome thanks! i'm also wondering what ROM people are into with this device..the MIUI.us is what i was thinking
[Kindle Fire General] matthew.fiore:
MoboPlayer has the ability to do software decoding of avi files.

works for divx/xvid and some others

until we get hardware video acceleration working on kindle, software decoding is about the only option.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil
[Kindle Fire General] Kapurnicus:
+1 for mobo player with software encoding enabled for all videos. I have yet to find a video I can play on my Pc it cant handle. It will even play x264 mkv videos. So, to confirm your original question, positively yes. I hate converting videos.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neofreek01:
so i was checking out the windows 8 requirements that have released and came across the whole arm 8 dvices being required to hve a secure boot that cannot be unlocked to block non windows oses and the pc aint much more open looks like its gonna be up to communities to do what we want on devices anymore.....damn microsoft taking lessons from apple or what this really jkind of bumms me out, it seems like at every turn big business is trying to stifle developement. it seems for every advancement that could stimulate innovative developement theres several things implemented to directly oppose those advances can we say one step forward two steps back.

ive been hearing all the hype of arm windows tablets just to hear this....is somebody afraid of what android or linux might do on a tablet running pc specs.....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
X86 devices will be ok. Running sth other than Windows on any ARM device will become probmatic.

I'm more concerned what this means if we get a proper mingling of chips (at long fraking last) in the domain of netbooks and low cost desktop/nettop systems, then I am for W8 phones and tabs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Darkseider:
Granted this will be a step backward but in the same respect, as usual, microsoft is late to the party. Everything I have read and heard through the grapevines are pointing to a Q1 2013 release of Win8 ARM tablets. By that time the A15 based beasties will be out running Android 4.x or possibly even Android 5.x. In essence all MS has accomplished is shooting themselves in the foot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sparven89:
well i've got a alternate view of this. Sure ms is late i the app/phone/tablet market. But you still have to remember that they still have the largest piece of the market in the computer department. And if they could deliver a system similar to windows..well that will give them a big chunk of the market today. Due to a large userbase which know how to handle windows applications.

Even analystics has given out reports about this. That ios and android have reached their top. But what do i know ^^i'm just hoping for the best, and userfriendly applications.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
Except the majority of closed source programs people use, will not get ported to Win8/ARM. Many of the cross platform open source ones already compile on Linux and/or *BSD's ARM targets.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I seem to remember hearing the same thing about game consoles. People said Nintendo and Sony had a lock on the market and Microsoft was wasting time trying to break in with the XBox.
[HTC Sensation] tkgod:
Thinking of getting a Sensation, but I want to know what the average battery life for a rooted, custom ROM with me being a light to medium user. Will it get me through a whole day of use without recharging?
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
I get 10 hours medium use, 13 hours light use. Don't let that put you off, I have problems with my battery.. most people usually get more than me! You can also get extra batteries which can last you two whole days.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Yea battery life is ok. Its really good on cm7 & miui. More so on miui. Love this phone though. You gotta pay to play.
[HTC Sensation] CursedBat:
I'm able to last till 8-9pm in the noon with Wifi - Data On and my Email Synchronising every 30 minutes. Of course I'm on the ArHD rom,

If you are really keen on battery life, you can always try replacement batteries.

One of such that achieved some fame is the Anker Battery.

Proven by various XDA users that it's working.

You can give it a try :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffruby:
So I leave wifi on, and the nexus holds onto to a useless weak wifi signal sometimes before switching to 3g. Annoying #1.

When I t run off wifi, I often have 3g not activated. Often have to either reboot or toggle plane mode. Annoyance #2.

Any solutions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DiNoise:
Pray and wait for next official radio firmware update or burn your nexus and get iTelephone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Move to an area with better reception. Its not the phones fault at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
please specify which phone you have. GSM/HSPA or CDMA/LTE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffruby:
I have cdma verizon phone.

To say "move to stronger area" is not an issue. If I'm in a solid 3g are, but a weak wifi area, phone holds onto slow unusable wifi instead of solid 3g"

Have 4g off

Is there a way to have wifi only connect if over a certain strength?

Will 4.03 make 3g radio connect more reliably and quickly. Absolutely cannot use battery saving app with this phone, as when I'm using 3g, and turn phone on, either have to wait 5 mins to get mobile connection or I get the greyed out 3g
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hanano17:
I've had the same issue. It's only happened twice where I switch off wifi and it refuses to turn on 3g, didn't think about toggling airplane mode though. I had to restart both times. I'm thinking its software, at least I hope so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grannypotts:
Bullschit.

This is 100% the phone's fault.

I am having this problem today. Unfortunately I have not been able to reconnect to 3G all day. 4G, fine... 3G, nothing. My two colleagues with Thunderbolts are having NO problems switching their LTE radios off and running CDMA only. My Galaxy Nexus is the only one that can't find a 3G connection.

I'm starting to hate this phone more and more every day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbdynsty25:
If you're in an area with poor wifi, why not just turn wifi off and utilize the 3G at all times?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frankdeale:
Same problem here. I prefer 3G to 4G for battery life. For the first week or so, no problem - now I can never get 3G, but 4G works fine. I don't think its the phone - I think its Verizon and its network choices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Connected to wifi usually offers better battery life in my experience however weak signal kills battery so maybe keeping it on 3g is the better solution here.

Any way of you strengthening your wifi signal?

sent from my googletron
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kurttrail:
I love my gnex, but I got a microsim card adapter in the mail, so I can switch back to my bolt when I need a reliable 3G radio, until google/samsung/vzw get the radio is fixed in the gnex.

It took months before the bolt's radio problems got sorted out. I hope it won't take as long with the gnrx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeffruby:
I would just turn off wifi, but when I do, it takes too long for 3g to start up...and often it doesn't start up unless switch to airplane mode
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
what roms are yall running?

If you're running Stock, then it's the phone's fault and you should call VZW to get it swapped out.

If not running stock, then it may be the rom at fault.
[General Questions and Answers] freakboy13:
Hey any one on here use torque? For somereason my obd2 blue tooth adapter wont

hook with torque; connects then disconnects....over and over cant get a solid connection. I have done all of the proper blue tooth updates for this phone.

ANy one using this app or have a similar issue?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] palaudiver:
There is an issue with pandora in case you have that installed. Also, to get it to work you only have to pair it through the bluetooth settings on the phone, not get it to connect. When you run torque, be sure to select the device in the app settings. I use the BAFX branded adapter from amazon and it pairs as "CBT".
[General Questions and Answers] darll:
I have torque and pandora on my amaze and it connects to my obd-II adapter flawlessly. Like the above post says , connects the adapter to the obd port on your car,

Then go to the Bluetooth setting on you phone

Search for Bluetooth devices

You should find a Bluetooth device that contains some numbers and dots (This is the obd adapter)

Click on the device and pair it...If it asks for a code use 0000, 0 or 1234

Once you have paired it, Open the torque app and it should automatically connect within 30 secs...
[General Questions and Answers] freakboy13:
Thanks, ill try it, was just odd because on my dx I have no issues with it
[General Questions and Answers] KorayH:
@freakboy13

Also check with the ELM version.

There is 1.3, 1.4a and also 1.5(it is not officially listed, so it is probably 1.4).

1.3 has connection drop problems.
[General Questions and Answers] freakboy13:
Hey thanks ^

It still is borked and this is one thing I haven't checked

Will report back.

Dev tells me its am htc issue, but ill check the elm
[General Questions and Answers] KorayH:
If your adapter is couple of years old you have probably V1.3.

If you are going to buy a new one check this web site: http://www.elmelectronics.com/obdic.html

It seems there is only 1.3a and 1.4b ELM327 chips.

ELM323 is the new one(V2.0) but I couldn't find one with bluetooth.

Choosing an adapter shouldn't be that difficult :D

[General Questions and Answers] teshgnex:
BUMP!

I'd rather not start a new thread and this seems to be general enough -

I'm using Torque (highly recommended for any DIY car people out there, even my gf has a BT adapter in her car at all times in case of random events)

My Question:

Since AdHoc network creation is such a faff (Currently using a T999 SIII, stock, nonroot 4.04, debating what to do w/it yet)

has anyone confirmed the use of a plx / generic WiFi based adapter with the Torque app? since the baud rate of WiFi is higher than BT transmission, I'd rather use the WiFi connection if at all possible...

anyone?

Thanks in advance!!
[General Questions and Answers] teshgnex:
No one?

I'm still in the search of an appropriate adhoc mod for the S3 I'm currently using to be able to run the wifi obd reader with torque - i've seen the TUT thread on modifying the wpa supplicant file but not convinced it was working on 4.04 S3's as of yet... (unless anyone can confirm that - will check in the S3 forum too)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ReignsOfPower:
Does anyone have a a clicky camera on their Prime? I'm running ICS and the latest firmware for the camera. Not sure what version exactly...

It's especially evident when shooting a video and you touch to focus. Can even hear it in the recorded video (sounds very loud).

Additionally, I've noticed that the picture quality isn't quite up to scratch...

Anyone reporting similar issues at all?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xIC-MACIx:
I've got it too, doesn't actually bother me...maybe it's related to the haptic feedback ticks...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ReignsOfPower:
I find it extremely loud to be honest. Thinking perhaps the firmware update broke the camera :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xIC-MACIx:
Nah, I've had the "click" since HC...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SteveG12543:
It's just the camera focusing. My Rezound and OG Inc do it as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
yep, it's the camera focus. Doesn't bother me in pics obviously, but sometimes i can hear it in my recorded videos, which is slightly bothersome. The camera is fantastic though, really.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Yeah, I've noticed this as well, however, it only seems to happen during a manual/adjusted focus. I changed my video recorder settings to continuous focus and haven't heard it in a video since.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Vugari:
My G2 has been out of commission for a while now, it had been getting this green/red screen discoloration and eventually went black and wouldn't display anything until just today. I played around with the ribbon connector a bit and got it to display again. My question is if I were to open up my G2 and connect the ribbon better or replace it entirely, would it be possible to breathe new life into this old phone? Answers much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
if it is exactly as you said, then it might justmean that the ribbon that connects the display to the board probably came loose... or is busted.. so replacing that ribbon might do it.

I'm wondering why they took this step. I'm thinking that they needed the room in the partition for something.
