[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
Not sure about anything CaseMate... but right now i'm using a Pure.Gear snap-on case, the faux leather one. Quite nice. A little thick, but nowhere near gargantuan. Before that, i was using a cheapy TPU case that was nice as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
try the Seidio Active Case - its decent protection and doesn't obstruct the biometric scanner. http://www.seidioonline.com/motorola-atrix-4g-active-case-sapphire-blue-p/csk3mtatr-bl.htm
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunjabusiness:
+1 for this case. Very nice, though a bit expensive. I have the same one, bought at Amazon for $25 -shipped free - a while back.

However, it has become kind of tedious to get it off and back on between dock and house/office/pocket so I have it laying around here (somewhere.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trogdan:
True, but not exactly "light". It's more on the lines of the bulkier Otterbox Commuter (which I have). Regardless, active case is a much better case. The case on the front extends to just above the camera and there are protectors for the USB/Mini HDMI (which i removed on my commuter). My thumb was always hitting the extra trim on the otterbox every time i pulled down on the notification bar.

And yes you can use the commuter/active case with the lapdock, but it requires some modification of the tray using an x acto knife. I actually had to make a little room for the HDMI connector to come through the docking plate, and it works great.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
So with the unlocked bootloader presumably we will eventually have custom kernels, however in the meantime I was looking to see if we could overclock the stock kernel in a way similar to what has been done with the prime. I have been browsing around to see if such a thing might be accomplished and found that in the root of the device there are some init scripts, one of which is init.ventana.rc. In this script there are lines of code to set the max and min frequency in a section labeled "Power management settings." The script writes to files located in /sys/devices/system/cpu/. Within this cpu folder there are subfolders for cpu0 and cpu1 (since we have a dual core system) and the file for maximum frequency seems to be /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq, which they set to 1000000. Simply editing these files with a text editor has no effect (the changes will not save) and I haven't had much chance to mess with them any further than that (I don't want to edit my init script since then I could create a problem that returns upon reboot). Anyway I just wanted to share what I have found so that maybe someone else with more knowledge can help us proceed further. I will do further testing on it later to see what I can do and report back here if I have any success.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] O_G:
Going to move this to general for now. Once its all sorted PM me and i will move it back to development. I just dont feel its ready for the development section.

Moved to General
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Jon2555:
Is kernel source released?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
Here's the source code.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] slpin:
those are output files from kernel - changing it wont do anything
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Jon2555:
When we have source I can try to do something ;)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
Thanks for all your work on the TPT!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
You are referring to my OP, right? I was just taking a shot in the dark.

Isn't that the source that I posted above, or did Lenovo give me the wrong thing?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:
No they are absolutely fine. Compiling them right now to test it. Thanks a lot!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. Can't wait to hear back.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Dueces99:
With K1 source out now (just today so obviuosly no hurry), any devs possibly checking that out for the same thing? :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
Any word on Overclocking the TpT?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Jon2555:
It should be included in our CM9 alpha release
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Dueces99:
Phenomenal news Jon, any chance of CM9 ported over something for the K1 in the near future? I'd be more than willing to be a guinea pig for any test OS's if so. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peanut_butter:
Well I've jumped ship on the TBolt and moving on to bigger and hopefully better things. The dev community is what really sold the Nexus, so I guess what I'm getting around to is what ROM should I try first lol

Swyped from Skyraider Zeus Bolt for the last time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmaruPhoenix:
well a lot of us who choose the Nexus experience want a clean version, many have said that there isn't much need to install a custom rom, I haven't needed to and I've owned the Nexus One and currently the Galaxy Nexus. I also had a friend who loved flashing his phones but said that there were too many issues with bugs and when he picked up his Nexus S, he decided to go stock with a home launcher.

sorry it doesn't answer your question but for me, the only reason I would go custom is if I had a crappy bloated version HTC Sense, MotoBlur, WizTouch(whatever) on it, or Carrier BS like when I got my first phone in Canada from Rogers, HTC Dream. GOD I HATE CARRIER Bloatware
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
I was wondering if the upcoming 4G LTE devices will offer a 4G on/off toggle switch. Not necessarily a hardware switch but built into the OS as a virtual switch.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Not sure. I hope so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Yea me to because I dont even have 4G LTE for ATT in my area. Verizon has theres in my area
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
Nope. The HTC Titan II and Nokia Lumia 900 for AT&T do NOT have LTE on/off toggle.

This is because AT&T uses CS fallback.

That means that while Verizon's LTE phones have both a CDMA radio and an LTE radio running at the same time, AT&T's LTE phones only have one radio that switches between GSM and LTE mode.

As a result, AT&T LTE phones are not battery hogs like Verizon's
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
thats the one thing I was worried about because ATT 4g LTE isnt even in my area yet and im not sure if it will even be here in 2012.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
You shouldn't worry then. AT&T's LTE phones only have one radio that switches between GSM and LTE mode.

When you are in an HSPA+ area, your phone should be able to sustain decent battery life with the radio in GSM mode.

Of cause when you enter an LTE area, you might want to pull your hair out because when the radio is in LTE mode, your phone will use up the battery in no time.

Note that the above only applies to AT&T's LTE phones (or other LTE phones with CS fallback).

Verizon's LTE phones have consistence battery life (worse than AT&T's) in both CDMA2000 EV-DO and LTE areas because the phones each have two radios and must power both the CDMA radio and the LTE radio at the same time.

Is it possible to make adw launcher a default launcher, and when i mean default i mean the stock launcher is gone thanks for help

HTC Wildfire S (VM) "s-off" "rooted" Stock Rom
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
Since you're rooted you can get rid of it by just deleting the app from /system/app, using something like Root Explorer, but why bother? As long as AWD is set to default then the other launcher won't even run after a reboot (unless it's TouchWiz - I've been informed that that does run, so you need to delete all the widgets from the screens first.)

Generally, whenever I change launcher I tend to remove everything possible from the previous one I was using, just in case it ever does run for some reason.
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
ok cause the reason i ask is because if i were to do a factory restore it would delete adw because its an app, so that means when i start up it will say foreclose and ill have to find an apk and drop it into the phone and install. is it possible to make it cm7, ware its not an app, its a default launcher?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
You're basically talking about making your own ROM. That's the only way to pick and choose what's included in it.
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
I downloaded adw ex and pushed it into system/app and installed, i clicked home and selected adw ex as default launcher, i turned off my phone and flashed a zip i found here on xda that deletes sense rosie apk and launcher, rebooted and now my phone is running off adw ex, i did a factory reset to see if it still works and it did. by moving the app into the system/app it cant be deleted unless i go inside and delete it. :) thanks for all your help guys
[General Questions and Answers] lx1226:
Cool. I will try on my tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] Savetheknot:
So you just moved the apk to system/app and installed it from there?
[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Yes, I as running HTC.launcher so I completely deleted that and now my adw is my stock launcher, the reason I moved it to system is because if you install it like a regular app what happens if you do a factory reset or it accedintaly gets deleted, in system app its now apart of your rom, and to prove that go to settings then applications, you will see that regualr apps can be deleted but system apps cant, all it offers is to delete updates, you would need titanium backup to delete system apks :), so that's why I moved it to system/app, (push Adw to system/app and install)

NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
[HTC Sensation] speps:
Hi folks.

You'll have to excuse me, as I know next to nothing about putting roms and whatnot into my phone - but I am super excited about being able to learn how, etc.

I'm currently using a totally stock and normal HTC Sensation 4G and have been since roughly the time it came out with my carrier. The phone has started being... weird, so I'm looking to change things around with it.

Anyways - I've been looking around the site and trying to find what exactly is the best starting point for somebody with absolutely no experience.

I've seen some noob threads here and there, but I'm not sure if they're leading me to readying my phone to throw no a new rom. Is there just some sort of state to put my phone into and then be able to flash whatever rom is available for it?

This is what I started looking at but I'm not sure if this a good jump off or not to ready my phone for fun changes.

Thanks for being patient with me on this.
[HTC Sensation] 59seconds:
Read this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Basically, you need to S-OFF your phone, and install a new recovery. Then you can flash new roms from your new recovery.

Use the Revolutionary method in the guide to unlock your phone. Install the Clockworkmod Recovery, and Super CID if you want. That just means that you'll be able to flash a rom meant for *any* carrier, not just your own.

That's it. :)
[HTC Sensation] speps:
Thanks!

That's exactly what I needed. I plan on digging around when I get home.
[HTC Sensation] 59seconds:
Good luck. Just remember to read everything all the way through before you do anything, and make sure that you understand all of the steps. Most of the problems that people have is because they just don't read the information/guides.
[HTC Sensation] speps:
Fair advice for nearly anything!

Question about doing all this...

Do I have to have my phone connected to my computer? Or is this done primarily through the phone?
[HTC Sensation] 59seconds:
You'll need to transfer over some files. Super CID requires you to run commands to your phone from your computer, but that's it. It's definitely worth it to have fastboot and adb running on your computer in case you need it.
[HTC Sensation] speps:
Great! I will keep that in mind for when I'm there!

Is this generally a long winded process?
[HTC Sensation] 59seconds:
Nah :) The first time is a bit of work since you have to S-OFF your phone and install a recovery. But it's a breeze after that. So many people have done it and the xda forums are very helpful. I followed that guide the first time and had zero problems.
[HTC Sensation] speps:
So, hopefully somebody will have a bit of an idea what to do here...

First things first. I'm doing this all through a bootcamp-esque program from my Macbook - and currently on Windows 7, as there's only Windows and Linux available for the Revolutionary method.

I've downloaded the program. Opened it into a folder, etc. Turned on USB debugging and done everything else the tutorial has mentioned.

Has anybody had similar issues before?
[HTC Sensation] rickadlee:
You mentioned the phone being "weird", in what way is it weird? If this turns out to be a hardware issue or something that requires you to send the phone back to the manufacturer, rooting the phone can void your warranty (if you have any warranty left).

Please keep this in mind prior to rooting your phone. There is a way to flash your phone back to stock and return S-ON but from what I hear it is a little risky and there is a chance of bricking your phone while doing it (as with any part of the rooting process).

When following directions for rooting, I would advise you to read the whole instructions list first to ensure you have an understanding of the whole process, so you don't get stuck at any steps. Make sure you follow the guides exactly as well.

Never heard of anyone doing this through bootcamp on a MAC, but as with any compatability issues, if you have any strange issues with any of the steps it is best to use a native Windows or Linux machine to perform the rooting process.

I have never had any issues with any rooting process, for my SGS and Sensation XE using a Windows 7 64bit computer.
[HTC Sensation] speps:
It's been doing a lot of the issues listed here - plus, the battery life is just absolute crap. I've ordered new batteries for it (the 1900mAh Anker ones people here discussed before) and taken a few other steps to try and make it work in my favour a bit more.

I was able to almost complete the S-Off process last night, although I hit a brick wall as it just continued on the "Zerging root" while using Revolutionary. Damn.

I may try again when I get home.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
One thing NO ONE ever points you to do but is, in my mind, the most important thing is to try a make sure there is an RUU available for your current ROM.

An RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) is a complete ROM from HTC which will restore your phone to stock should you need to send it back for a warranty claim.

To check for an RUU, you first need to know your current ROM version that your phone came with. Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the 'Software version' e.g. 1.50.401.3

Once you have that, go here and try to find a file name matching the version:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

If you find one, download it and keep it safe
[HTC Sensation] speps:
I'll be sure to do that. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] speps:
Would anybody know why I keep getting stuck at the "zerging root.." portion?

Unless it usually takes a few minutes, it seems to just... hang.

As far as I can tell, everything else is set up correctly for this to work.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I just got the official word that as of January 15th HTC is actually looking into the OEM battery issues we are having from overheating to not holding a charge. In the mean time, Verizon is not hesitating to give out new batteries. They even offered to exchange my phone for the Nexus (HA :rolleyes: ). Hopefully they will find something and make a significant improvement to these batteries.

** Do not hijack my thread. This thread is not for you to complain about playing games and your phone dying. Your "usage" complaints are irrelevant! This has only to do with people whose batteries will not charge from dead, are experiencing significant overheating, etc.

If you post in this thread anything unrelated I will just report it without hesitation.

Edit: My new battery is significantly cooler, and actually charges to 100% without any additional steps or modification to get it to do it.

Edit 2: After reading some other threads I called back into Verizon to ask if they noticed that all the batteries sent back were 3.8V or 3.7V, the rep stated that it looked like majority were 3.8V. This also sparked my curiosity to check what my Extended battery was (3.7V), and new OEM battery (3.7V). I would suggest at this point, if you have a 3.8V battery, and have had ANY instance of an issue, call Verizon and get it swapped out.

Edit 3: I am going to put this as plainly as I can. I don't work for Verizon, and I have no reason to prove myself to you. There are more people in this thread than not that are getting positive results. It is not my job to prove squat to anyone here, so if you don't get offered a replacement 3.7V battery, well, sorry for your luck! I really don't care 1 way or another. The fact that even 2 other people were able to be helped and their reps saw the same thing in their system is virtually proof enough. So if your rep doesn't look into it for you, ask for someone else. Don't cry to me and say I am wrong, when the facts are on my side.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
got proof? don't want to look like a fool if i visit big red and this isnt true

[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Aren't YOU Verizon? lol, I just went in to the store to pay my bill and showed them the battery stats from the OEM battery. The girl said "It is definitely a known issue and is being investigated. I don't really want to give you another battery, I would rather trade your phone in since the issue doesn't have a solution." I said "No thanks, I will take the battery." lol
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
ahahaha nah i'm a franchise store, not a corporate..if someone comes into my store complaining about a battery on a phone they didn't buy from me, i say "sorry brah bring it to the store you got it from"

hot and charger wont keep up

I've had my rezound for 12 days. I have run temperatures of up to 127, with other figures fairly regularly. 110...115...120. The hottest ones are always when I'm streaming audio with the charger plugged in. I am also concerned that the charger won't keep up with the draw, even when I switch over to 3g. I know with my x, I saw a 137 reading once, but didn't swell the battery, and I'm wondering what the tolerances might be. I don't know it changing roms helps this or not. Considering unrooting and removing to try another unit.

Chris
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
They didn't specify. But honestly, not everyone sits and watches their battery temp 24/7, lol. If you explain your circumstances, and being there is a known issue in the system they should be happy to swap it out for you. They did mine in the store because they realized the problem was pretty serious.

It's worth a shot. What do you have to lose? Another overheating battery? :cool:

I can say from my experience, it is not the phone causing the problem. Shouldn't be the ROM unless the Kernel in it has some bugs. But when I put in my extended battery and see no issue, put back OEM to have an issue, and then put in extended and no longer have the issue, we see where the problem is here.

Yea, just an exchange, that should be a given, we are talking about Verizon after all. :rolleyes: lol

If you went to the store this weekend I am willing to bet they didn't even check for trouble tickets for you. Tell their lazy asses to fix their ****! They lady told me specifically the date, that Verizon had sent so many batteries back to HTC so they could test and diagnose them and everything.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CompuTechnoPro™:
2 days ago I rooted the phone on stock ROM 2.3.3 & decided to install a custom ROM ( AndyX ROM ). While following the procedure, I couldn't copy the zip file for the ROM in the internal SD, would stuck copying at same percentage every time. Then, I compressed the file into a rar file, copied to the internal SD & used X-Plore file manager to extract the zip file into internal SD within the device. Then, I wiped data, cache partition, dalvik chache & battery stats Using CWM. After this, I tried flashing the zip but, it failed showing can't open & (bad) error. Later, I turned on the phone & samsung boot animation was repeating (BootLoop). Only the Download mode is working not Recovery. I searched the internet & found a solution, to flash stock ROM. Done the procedure mentioned here . After that, I can't get into recovery & shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried flashing the stock ROM in Odin (used pit, pda, modem & csc). Gets stuck in flashing factoryfs.img after like 5 to 10% (approx.) of completion. Tried it in many ways but, outcome is same. I was able to flash the bootloader & kernel but, not the Recovery Package(Which contains the factoryfs.img). What to do now ??? :confused:. I need help badly !!! :(
