[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitwo:
Hi,

I've looked around the forums and haven't found an answer to that. I'm a complete noob concerning Android phones, so sorry if my question is silly (or already has an answer somewhere).

It's quite simple : I wanna buy a Huawei Boulder 8350 for my girlfriend. It's got almost the perfect offer for her as it seems to be very good for its price tag.

I just wanna know : is it possible to install newer Android versions on it ? It is advertised as a Froyo 2.2 phone, but it would be cool to put Gingerbread or even a newer droid version on it.

If yes, is it doable via a simple update on the phone or does it have to be "hacked" or something ?

Thank you very much.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitwo:
Please ? Anyone ?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killdashnine:
Hello nitwo,

For the moment, there is no new version of Android for this cell.

Some people have noticed that the u8350 is sold under the name of "Express from Sprint" with a gingerbread 2.3 version. But sprint is using CDMA and in europe we're using GSM. Maybe a port is possible.

Also, officialy there is no Android 2.3 for this cell, and some websites are reporting that we're never going to see an official 2.3.

Maybe, we're going to have a 2.3 version, but not officially. But, we need to wait for the community ...

Btw, for 45euros in france (with Bouygue cash back), this is a pretty nice phone.

Which roms i can install to my st15i, and how to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
Whenever I download something with the browswr, it always goes to 99% then instead of saying download complete.

It shows download unsuccessful.

This has happened on wifi, 4g lte, and 3g. I always had signal when I downloaded the files. I've had this problem on stock 4.0.2 and CM9 kang (current rom).

Is this a known issue that all galaxy nexus owners experience? Or is it just me? Please help... can't download anything with my phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Not very helpful, but I've never had any trouble downloading in browser. Are you using stock browser?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Happens randomly too

sent from my googletron
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
Yes. I feel in ics, there's no real need for third party browser so I always use the stock browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
For me, it use to work the second time I try downloading but starting today, it always fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Try clearing data for your browser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
wouldnt that get rid of all my history/tabs?

is there a way to back these up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Probably, maybe it would be worth it if the problem is fixed though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kleverman:
I have this problem and i agree it shouldn't happen but, as a work-around, what i do is go to the download folder in App drawer and "retry" the download. I would say i get over a 95% success rate by "retrying" downloads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buff McBigstuff:
Yeah, sometimes I have to retry like 5 times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silverramsrt:
I have this problem as well. I just keep retrying till it succeeds. Not a huge deal since 4G is decent in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
All this talk is useless without posting whether or not you've installed a custom rom or kernel.

I had the issue on some old franco/aokp versions. seems to have gone away now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silverramsrt:
OK...

I was running Franco/cm9 kang when I had my problems.

Now that I'm on gummy and the included kernel, the problems have yet to surface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
Thanks for all the info guys.

I really like cm9 kang so I do not want to flash other roms.

But clearing the browser data has helped!

Until now it has successfully downloaded everything on the first try . So thanks again :)

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:
I recommend you to upgrade to a higher version, 2.3.x or CM7 but before try a full wipe/factory reset.

This can be a bug from Froyo.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:

You must register, then download the firmware for your country and flash in Odin.

Also, you can upgrade the firmware from Samsung Kies.

You should use link2sd. You don't need a custom ROM for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:
You are right. But first he needs to upgrade the firmware to get better performance and less bugs.

Now he is on Froyo.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Hey guys,

Here is an ogg file that is the old school transformer sound for when you connect you dock/charger.

The full location to place the file is /system/media/audio/ui/KeyboardDock.ogg

Obviously make a backup of the file that lives there now, then place the attached unzipped file in it's place. change its permissions to rw-r--r-- with root explorer or similar.

No need to reboot, it will just work.

I am not responsible if you mess things up with your Prime.

Note: The same sound is played when connecting to the keyboard dock and the charger, so even if you don't yet have the dock you still profit.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I am. :mad:

I hope you're all as sick of it as I am. :eek:

EDIT: I have now discovered that occasionally/quite often :D, the whole file is not played. I can't help that and I'm probably gonna find a better noise anywho.

EDIT 2: Why did I do this.........? I should feel .....ashamed ..of ....myself..... !!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Maveri9720:
Just to verify, you have to be rooted to do this? I'm not, but I'd really like to change the charging sound to this clip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BoostedSR20:
Man I just sat here and did this.... plugged the Prime in and my GF and I died! Very, very awesome sir! :D

Have to be rooted to use root explorer to copy the file where it needs to go.... orrrr un-rooted I guess you could use ADB?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
I tried playing with some of the various UI sounds, but it seems that some of them (i.e. the dock/charger sound) have some sort of time restriction. It only seems to play the first second of the sound file. If anyone can figure out how to modify that and increase the time I would be your bestest friend! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hbk19:
This: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lipishum.anroidabottransformer (confirmed working on my part, I also used it on my OG Transformer).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Yeah, it's very strange. At first it would play the whole file for me every time, but then it would behave as you have mentioned. Hence why I just left this thread to slowly die away. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Just noticed today that the Telus Desire HD (Same exact hardware as the Inspire with the 2 mics and same radio) is getting the Android 2.3.5 update with 3.0 Sense. This is good news I would imagine for Inspire Users. It means a base for the Inspire for 2.3.5 has been created with the correct drivers. Also it increases the chances that an official ATT Inspire build may just be released.

[HTC Inspire 4G] misha57287:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
At this point I haven't seen an actual RUU yet. Although I assume it will soon surface. The update is being given by OTA at the present.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I just got the OTA update and applied it to the Telus ROM and it's running on my Inspire right now. Seems to work 100% out of the box. I'll put a rooted ROM together and hopefully have it out tomorrow.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] earthman5678:
You may want to try to flash only the modem using Odin to avoid completely resetting the device. Extract the modem file from the ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] frank8080:
I just installed the Modem.bin (Extrat from the Rom) only with Odin, the device is resumed now, but:

1) the Samsung software (Kies) show me that "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies"

2) It's seems that the Baseband version is difference with Kernel version issue.

Hi.

Am posting this in both WP7 and Lumia 800 forums, cuz I want to share it with both groups. I was inspired to make a sleeve for my Lumia 800 for throwing it in my backpack.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Cool. And may i ask a stupid question?

Are you a lady or a guy?

because making a sleeve for a guy is kinda strange... IMO...
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
I'm a guy.

Why would it be kinda strange? I'm good with my hands, need something to do to keep them busy, and I'm well paid for that kinda work.

To the OP, Great Job! I bought the pack of socks apple used to sell for my ipods back in the day. They were great!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Just my little opinion, because my hands are just bad for this. I can focus on certain thing like this, but bad hands will make me to give up before i see too many red dot on my fingers.

BTW Goob Jobs, customer at Cold States will get interested in it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
Those are probably the tiniest needles I've ever worked on. About the thickness of a toothpick. Shipping it to Germany would be the cheapest part of the endeavor. It would be about $40-$50 plus a few $ for shipping. (I ask this much, because that's what I charge my normal customers, it just seems so expensive for such a small item.) Not like it matters much, but the yarn is cashmere. :P

Ah. I've got great hand for this. Medium. They're muscular though, because of all the work I do with them. Small needles (smaller than #2) are annoying, due to hand size.

I know! We're just finishing recovering from a snow/ice/freezing rain storm here in Seattle. My poor Lumia was shivering.

Thanks! Not sure how much use I'll get out of this. Actually, it turned out a bit short. I forgot to compensate for a seam allowance at the bottom and it took up the .25" slack I had planned for. So, I'm making a cuff and putting it on. It'll really look like a sock soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LucasMac:
I listen to music in my car over bluetooth. With the Galaxy Nexus, when I receive a call or turn off my radio, the music on the phone pauses, as it should. However, upon ending a call or turning the radio back on, the song that is paused then restarts from the beginning. I'm using the Google Music app. This worked fine in Gingerbread. Is anyone else experiencing this or know a solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LucasMac:
Using PowerAMP and Media Button Router fixed the issue. It's very strange that the native Music app won't pause music from my car radio, but PowerAMP will.

First of all,

I updated to 4.0.3

then i would like to root my phone..

I used a guide found on the nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-root/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-on-ics-or-gingerbread/ and then i installed rom manager free from market and i tried flashing cwm recovery inside rom manager.

But rom manager was fc and i decided to google it to find an other way to install cwm recovery.

Then i found this guide nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-force-your-nexus-s-into-clockworkmod-recovery/ and i followed this exactly, hoping that it could be easy to flash the new 4.0.3 rom again.

When i try to open bootloader mode and select recovery a sparking android is showing up an then only the lights from the touch keys are glowing.!

When i press either (Vol- and Power) or Power Clockwork Mod recovery shows up and when i try to install zip from sd it shows status 7 installation aborted. I searched forums that proposed to wipe all data and dalwik data.

I did all these and also status7 shows up every time i try to flash a rom.

I ask for your help!!!

I suggest you to download the stock gingerbread for your model from Rom Manager and install it as update.zip. That will unroot your phone. So root it again and try flashing new roms (cm9 or ICS). You should flash kernel after flashing the rom.

One minor and a couple of major issues...

- Notification drop-down stops accepting touch input but can still be slid up and down. Reboot fixed

- Battery life is horrible. It's better with wifi set to turn off when the screen turns off, but I'm still losing about 10% per hour. With the stock 2.3.4 ROM I was able to go 16 hours and only drop to 80%. I've read maybe I need to let the battery discharge completely so that it can calibrate? I'll try that today.

- Cell connectivity is sketchy now. I've had problems making calls. Full bars, then it tries to connect and the bars drop to 0 temporarily, then come back up and the call fails. My SMS send success rate is about 75%, sometimes down to 25%. I've had multiple text messages fail to send and some texts I end up receiving minutes and sometimes hours later. This is a huge problem.

Overall I think this is a great leap forward and the phone is very fast now, but with the battery life and sketchy cell problems I may have to go back to stock.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
I wish I could get this to be stable, and I understand it's still beta, but I have to go back to stock. If I didn't need the phone and SMS functions to be reliable then I'd stick with it, but I need my phone for work. :(

I'll keep an eye on how things progress and maybe try again down the road, but chances are I'll be upgrading to a Galaxy Nexus in a couple of weeks anyway. At least then I can use my X2 as a toy and not care about carrier stability. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I think these problems are rare, sorry. I do share the "wifi not reconnecting" but wifi fixer is a work around. This is a super daily driver. There was a screen blackout but I found non-compatable themes to be the problem.

We need a "This works check list kind of thread" so people know what does work. FWIW.

edit

This is the best battery life I have had on any rom.
[Motorola Droid X2] hoganw:
Yeah, I also had the wifi not reconnecting problem but that was trivial. I'm back to stock now, the last straw was the phone not even reconnecting to 3G, I lost all data connectivity. :( I could deal with the battery and such, but the cell/data connectivity problems are a definite no-go for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Maybe you can start one of those threads.

I also notice a fast battery drain but the rom hasn't settled in yet and it may need more time to do so.
[Motorola Droid X2] hpark21:
My issues are (minor):

One of my game can not be played (Siegecraft - after downloading the game data, the system ends with "network error") all my other games play fine, so I don't know why.

Gallery app constantly re-starts when trying to view pics. No work around it. If anyone can suggest a good gallery replacement app, please let me know, I tried Gallery Plus (I think that is what it is called) and it also did the same thing.

Major issue (Maybe not an issue):

My wife claims that some phone calls are not going through (it rings from her end, but I am not hearing the ringing on my phone for some reason - I had 5 missed calls listed on my phone). That said, 3 or 4 test calls I made came through without any issues so maybe it is the issue with the ringer not being high enough for me to hear?

Overall, so far, except for the missed calls (which may not be an issue at all) it is a very good daily driver and hopefully after things settle down a bit more it will get even better.

Navigation/Maps/Latitude issue with GPS

When I go into Navigation or Maps or Latitude, especially Navigation, there is a constant message at the bottom of the screen "Searching for GPS".

When looking at Maps, you see the current position but the area is in a fuzzy circle. It didn't happen when I was on stock rooted 2.3.4.

I did see an option to use an external BT GPS but the external is not enabled.
