Haha, Andy, what app did you write first? I've just begun getting the hang of writing (very simple) apps :D

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

What you WANT is irrelevant; I want a million bucks tomorrow. Doesn't mean I'll get them. You have to work towards your goal, and don't have such a narrow goal - like 'I want to compile CM9'. Instead, have a goal like 'I want to learn how Android works and perhaps compile a ROM with the experience' Do it more so you can LEARN something new, and not so you can say to yourself 'oh, I did it, I compiled CM9.' What is the point if you don't understand what you did?

Sorry if I was a bit harsh, but as someone struggling to learn all about Android, it kind of irritates me when people think that anything is possible with a forum and a how-to guide. :)

And speaking of compiling CM9, first learn how git and repo work. If you're learning C++, I'm fairly familiar with it, I advise you to focus on OOP concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, etc. Then begin learning Java. It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
my first app was a diary calendar. without Runnables, without threads,

without a running "service" and i was wondering why this **** app never

said "man, you have a date this evening" :D

the next app was a HTC like weather app, it was running nice but the

battery was draining fast... until today i dont know why :D

Hello XDA,

I have been trying to get on to my schools network, and it has been telling me to use Wifi Config, Wifi Advanced Config, so on and so forth, to modify my connection. And when I go in it seems to work, but never saves the changes.

Anyone else having this problem or found a way around it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
After using my note for a little over half a month now, it's lost that new click feeling in the home button. And I didn't even use it that much. For those of you coming from the S2, how long did your buttons last. Do I have to be worried that my buttons will wear out?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] darkinners:
I have the same problem on note and I had a SGS2 for half year, doesn't have this problem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] TML1504:
it's almost the same as with displays: it's a lottery what you get!

as i wrote in other threads i had quite a few notes in my hands, and also concerning the buttons they were different. it depends on how the "mother pcb" is placed, or better phrased: misplaced

on some devices the power button protrudes more (pcb right), on other ones the volume buttons (pcb left)! the lesser protruding buttons tend to "go dull" after a few (hundred) times of operation!

same deviations for the home button: some are ok, some not (and will tend to "loose their original feeling")!

if it bothers you much: go for a replacement!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] barretp:
As I said in a post I made earlier, my button has function has significantly declined. The initial click doesn't even work anymore, I have to press further and much harder for the phone to recognize a press.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BPHC:
I use "virtual button bar" to emulate home button and others.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
Yeah I use soft keys too. But didn't know they would get worn down this quickly
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GallardosEggrollShop:
Have had my Note for a month and a half and I have had no issues with the home button. I use it often to wake up the phone and to return home lol. I guess it is all really the luck of the draw.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CorruptedSanity:
Less than a week and mine feels feeble.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
I've had my note since launch and mine still feels as solid and manly as it ever did :D

Edit: Mine is german
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Same here. Got my Note in the beginning of december, and my button is clicking like a mad man.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] legion1911:
I would like to know why so much quality difference between SII and Note. Another production factory? New staff? Whatever it is it is not good for their image.

I'm thinking of trying to mod a Saiga-12 spare clip's belt holster :). Not my idea, but I find it just rad.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] adevan:
Seidio has been my source for a belt holster for a device without a case. They have elected to not produce one for the Droid Razr. Their "Active" and "Surface" models have companion case and the belt holster is too big to receive a Razr without the case. I perfer my Razr without any type of case or skin but have not found a plastic belt holster that is made for one without the case.

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wim69:
Hi,

Some months ago I flashed CM7.1 with no problems, apart from a kind of slow GPS.

But, last week my Legend refused to see my SD card. Bought a new one, 4Gb, and partioned it with MiniTool, 3.5 Gb FAT32 and 512Mb ext3. After normal boot my Legend did not see the SD card. Partioned it in Recovery mode, 512Mb ext2/3, where my Legend saw the SD card. I use a2ext and Go Launcher.

Since I use a2ext, 1 out of 4 times I reboot my Legend, my Legend wants me to setup Android again. Meaning I have to enter the language and Google account to use it. After that, my widgets do not load properly, but everything else works. I can use all apps and replace the widgets. So after 10 minutes my phone is back to normal again, but it is a pain in the *ss recreating the normal things again.

Does anybody know what is the problem here?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Regards, Wim.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Light Bringer:
Try wiping/data factory reset, wiping/cahe, advance > wipe dalvik cahce, mounts and storage > format/system reinstall your CM7.1 and boot up, then put your SD card in.

:D
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wim69:
Thanks, I will give that a try. My apps are on ext on SD, if I reinstall CM, can I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps and data? Haven't done this before...

Regards, Wim.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wim69:
There were two versions of Go Launcher Ex installed on my phone. Removing the old version solved the problem.

[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Am I doing something wrong???

If my phone isn't getting the sleep of death, it's keyboard lockups, call dialing delays, random restarts, soft bricks and being completely unresponsive...

I think I might buy a Palm Pixy or some other phone, what do you suggest???

I am rooted, but I never had any issues like this on my Droid X with nearly the same apps...

I'm getting fed up. I might switch to the SGII. I'm a big Motorola fan, but I'm really fed up.

If you guys give me any suggestions, let me know...

Sometimes I can't use this phone in an emergency... The other day I need to make an emergency call. I press send, and then the phone restarts...

I can't even listen to music in peace without a random restart... Maybe I'll get an iPod Touch....
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I really don't wanna leave you guys, but I'm getting fed up. Motorola stopped helping wirh bug fixes... I don't know what to do....
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Seriously...what are you doing to your phone...I don't how many you've gone through..like 5? It doesn't make ANY sense..no mass-produced product is THAT bad...QC probably accounts for .001% defects or less in a million...You should probably wipe your phone, factory reset it, SBF to stock, and switch it for SGS2 or Galaxy Nexus when it comes out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
If you look at my "Embrassed by Photon" thread, I am having issues that I have learned to live with BUT, I also had the Emergency phone call issue and could not use it.

Holding out for Samsung Galaxy Note!
[Motorola Photon 4G] foxsdaddy67:
dont think my POS Samsung Moment was that bad :rolleyes:
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Best bet is to go back to bone stock and run it for a while. If you have the same issues then it could most likely be your device.

What rom are you running? IMO cybiks cm7 and jokers 1.3 is the best combo. I have never had a random reboot once I got my undervolting levels tweaked right. It ran perfectly fine at the default voltages and I wanted to extend my battery life a bit.

You could also have a app that is going awry causing your device to overheat and seize.

Sent from my MoPho. All typos are the phones fault.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Yeah man, you are really screwing up somewhere. Everyone I have ever met in person with a Photon raves about how awesome it is.

I actually talked to a guy in line at the store the other day who had one - I noticed our oddly shaped device in a otter box on his hip and asked if it was Electrify or Photon (We Tennesseans tend to randomly chat with total strangers, like they are old pals.) - it was a Photon, he loved it.

I told him, if he wanted to love it more, read about Rooting and Roms. I wonder how that turned out for him.

:D:D:D:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I'm running pure stock and rooted. I rave about my Photon when it works right, trust me, it's awesome... Maybe my apps conflict with this device??? Cuz I never had any issues like this on my Droid X... I'm a huge Motorola fan, I don't want to leave you guys!!! Maybe I'll switch to a new device, but I will still be around, no matter what...

As for the Galaxy Nexus, other than LTE, and NFC, and ICS, the Photon beats it right out of the water!!!

I don't know if this is pure bad luck.... My apps nust conflict with the device.... I was running great with no issues until I installed avast! security... and for what avast! does, I'll take the repercussion of random reboots, if that is even the app causing random reboots....
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I just meant if I needed to make an Emergency call, I couldn't at times, I didn't exactly mean 911.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Why is avast that important to you?

Sent from my MoPho. All typos are the phones fault.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
In my personal experience, it is the best antivirus and theft security application there is, but I am not sure that avast! is the issue, I'll uninstall it for a week and see if it stops... But, I have posted about 3 or 4 threads ranting about how this phone doesn't work sometimes.... I'm waiting for an LTE device that has 1080p, WiMax, and the specs our Photon with Tegra 3...

I don't know what to do anymore.... I must be doing something wrong...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Again, I'm putting the phone back to Sprint Stock with a handful of my most common and trusted app's (BofA, Credit Union, MSNBC, Pandora and a few games) It's likely some s**t I put on it so I blame myself, not the phone.

Like I said, at the end of the day, its a phone. I could not call my boss for something the other day. It was freezing, then it went into bootstrap recovery.....by the time I removed OtterBox and battery, I was pissed (Matter fact, now I remember, It was 4:15AM Saturday!!!! I got pisssed because I had to get up off my a** and come in here!!)

Anyway, #1. Im 100% sure it's me, not Photon. #2. I'm still going for the Galaxy Note! The spec's on the Note are outrageous!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Wipe your phone clean and install each app one by one to test...but it's stupid that you've gone through that many photons..Besides, what do you need security for anyway? You're not installing random crap are you?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Antivirus on android is pointless unless you use a pirated apps/market. The "sky is falling" articles about infection rates on android devices never give you actual numbers just "Up 427 Percent" Tom's Guide. If the original infection rate is 500 devices worldwide, even with a 400% increase you still have a greater chance of getting struck by lightning.

There are a couple of locate/remote wipe apps available on the market that do not include antivirus. That would be a better choice unless you are using pirated apps/market.

Here a simple troubleshooting guide to follow. It's not much fun but should eliminate a number of possible causes of the issues you are having.

Factory rest via settings

Flash stock SBF (do not root or unlock)

Do not install any apps for 24hrs to see if problem persists (if no then goto 4, if yes then replace device)

Install only one app a day and see if problem shows up. If so, start over. This time eliminate the suspect app from the list.

I run into this a number of times when servicing phones and very rarely does the issue show up again when the process is followed. It generally tends to be app conflicts or an app update is buggy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I realize that it's probably my fault. And I blame the phone for not being able to handle the apps like my Droid X, that's all.

One more thing, there are a few virus apps on the market... I've run into a few...
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
I would get the Galaxy Note, but I'm waiting for a quad-core device. And Sprint is stupid for allowing LTE Devices without Android 4.0.

Beginner

I am trying to use CDMA workshop with my Samsung Galaxy Prevail. In my device Manager, it shows up under Android USB Device as "Samsung Android USB

Composite ADB Interface"

It also shows up under Modems as "Samsung Android USB Modem" it is connected to port 4.

I have set my phone to Debugging. I have hit "##8778#" and entered my MSL and set DM to USB, I have also allowed Mock locations, allowed to Stay awake, allwoed unknown sources. checked everything I could.

I can connect to it on port 4 in CDMA workshop, but it fails to read "failed...Phone does not answer" is the error I get when I click "Read"

When I hook my HTC EVO SHIFT 4G up, it connects and reads.

Can anyone help me?

[General Questions and Answers] jwh42000:
What version of CDMA are you using?

It sounds like its not recognizing your phone.

I tried the brand new demo but it won't allow you to change prls

ended up finding a slightly different version at the thrift store lol

it might also simply be attempting to read the wrong port too

i had to play around in device manager quite a bit before it finally revealed the correct one :)

Jason- I m facing similar issue. Was this issue resolved for u??? pls help..

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 AM ----------

I am facing a strange problem here. While i connected Sprint S3 for the first time, i was able to connect it to WS 2.7 by latching to the com port after getting in diag mode(rmnet+dm+modem). I was even able to unlock the set by entering samsung default password (while it was not getting spc unlocked) and then flashed cdma operator parameters. After the phone got reset, i checked for prl in the handset which was changed, which meant i was able to flash the parameters.

But then after that, i am able to connect my phone to ws2.7 by latching to the com port, but when i go to read or enter spc/etc, it gives an error "Failed... Phone does not answer". I tried removing the phone and connecting it again, changing the port, reinstalling drivers, but same issue. Request help from gurus..

...will I need to flash gapps again or should I still have everything?
[Kindle Fire General] Fireblend:
If you use the update.zip (and not the update-wipeall.zip) file, then you should keep all of your apps and other stuff; the only things changed from before you updated your ROM would be whatever changes were explicitly described on the new version's changelog (the new version's improvements, that is). So flash away.

Exactly what the thread title says. Thanks to Captain Throwback for extracting and posting the kernel and thanks to gruesomewolf for the wireless N patch. This is ONLY for sense based roms. This is the exact kernel that comes with the newest OTA update with a patch for wireless N. I did not build this I just simply put it together and figured I would post it so you wouldn't have to dig through threads.

Remember to wipe Dalvik and System Cache and always wipe front to back.
