[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] www.golazo.ca:
This is really starting to piss me off, I downloaded about 5 different roms and none of them is showing on the SD card in CWM recovery in order to install. Is there any other way to install the ROM or anything I could do to see the files in CWM? I am sure the .zip file is on the SD card and I can see it when i file manager but once I go into CWM to install I cant see it. If anyone had this problem and has a way to fix it please let me know. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] www.golazo.ca:
I think I found a way to do it and its through Rom manager, there is an option to install ROM from SD card I clicked it and now i think its installing. Hope it works. I'll post my results in case someone has the same problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] www.golazo.ca:
Solved the problem. I can only flash new ROM from ROM manager.

Hi,

I have seen a lot of discussion in various developers' thread about the phone modems and the different software revision like L2 or L4.

I don't understand the role a modem has for example in the Galaxy S2.

Can someone point me to a thread or a website that explains mobile phone modems?

Thanks

John

He linked you something, but that's something totally different.

I don't have much information either, from what I know, it's a part of the software which interacts with the actual hardware radio/modem which is in your phone. This handles your 2g/3g/edge/whatever connection to your provider's antennas.

i need to unlock boot loader again if my brick my phone when install rom? for example i install naa kernel then install xxx rom but phone brick then i rescue my phone uing flash tool. does i need to unlock again to flash custom kernel
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintckk:
First of all, if you want to unlock your phone, check the date of manufacturing first! It is well documented here plenty of examples of newer phone brick when unlocking bootloader, so better be careful!

Secondly, if you ran into problem, you need to re-lock your phone using flash tool. Then re-unlock again! I previously lost my phone GSM radio when unlocking bootloader (while on GingerExperia). I have to flash into stock ROM (it's a must) using flash tool, and relocked again.

Finally, it is safest to unlock bootloader in stock rom.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx8:
No, you don't need to unlock it again. BL is the flash partition of the phone, what contains a secret code. When you unlock the BL, you'll remove the code and the flash partition will be open. When you flash a new ROM, it changes the system partition. When you flash a new kernel, it changes the flash partition but nothing else. So you'll not need to unlock BL again.

Am I the only one to notice this? anything I do on the laptop dock seems slow, even if it is as simple as opening the messages app on the phone or sending an email through the phone, it still lags even if I only have 1 or 2 tabs open on the laptop dock browser.

I have my phone overclocked and it runs amazingly by itself but the laptop dock doesn't run nearly as smooth. Is the OS just that crappy? Will running custom laptop dock OSs fix this or just add more features?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ollonk:
I have used the thread "Webtop Reloaded" to trim down my Webtop. I've also installed the Chromium web browser from another thread on this forum. Between those two, it's much faster (Firefox is still terribly slow, though), but still not quite as fast as my netbook was on a comparable linux distribution.

My hunch is that the nature of the Webtop being an OS inside of another OS combined with the crazy hacks that Motorola used to make it work cause it to be slow. It can be improved pretty significantly by switching to XFCE or LXDE, but it's still not fast like the Android OS. (This is my experience; I haven't overclocked much to speak of, and I'm certainly no expert.)

Is it possible to update the current ROM version without wiping the data and apps installed on the current ROM version.

Currently I'm using squadzone's ver5.2 and I'm planning to use the ver5.3.

Can I just install the ver5.3 without wiping my current data and apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kitrax59:
Though this is not recommended, you can try not to wipe data and apps.. If your phone boots to homescreen after you flash 5.3 without wiping, well and good.. But if you get stuck on the boot splash screen, you have no choice but to do a data wipe.. Best option is to backup app data with TBP (Titanium) and restore them after you do a clean flash, that is wiping data/reset, wiping cache.. :D

Hope you press the Thanks button if my post helps.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] GallardoSD:
kitrax59, it is not so bad as you think. I tried lots of times to jump from one CyanogenMod to other without wiping, and it worked rather OK. i didnt notice any problem. ecyaj, you may not wipe, but if you notice some bugs - it is recommended to wipe data

Thanks for the info GallardoSD..., but it was too late. I just wipe everything and installed squad's new v5.4. I used TBP and did restore them after flashing. It was just I need to setup everything again...

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XboxOmac:
So for the past 10 days or so, my Focus has really hit the dump and hasn't let me see not even 10 seconds of video on 3G (Full signal btw), can't stream music from MetroRadio, Last.FM for more than 10-15 seconds, and take a really long time to load websites.

It worked fine before, plenty good infact. I would hit 2-5 mbps on a good day. Lately though, nothing I do about it fixes the problem.

I have called AT&T about 3 times, when today, finally decided to visit a Warranty Center of theirs in San Antonio, TX, which is 4 hours from here. We don't have one locally, so I have to drive to another city.

Was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing problems with the Focus? Does it have poor radio cells? Voice and text works perfectly good, just data.

AT&T themselves have reset their network around me, nothing has changed.

They reset my phone about 2-3 times, nothing has changed.

They replaced my SIM card, nothing has changed.

Anyone experiencing a problem or suggest anything? I really would like everything to be working again.

For references if anyone is curious, I'm hitting 0.30-0.60 mbps. Slower than EDGE, which is unacceptable!

Have you tried messing around with the diagnosis menu? If you haven't, it's worth a shot.

Install the diagnosis app by typing in ##634# into the phone keypad. Then, open up the diagnosis app and enter in *#32489#. Hit the back button (on screen, not hardware back button) until you see the option 8 that says phone control. From this screen, press 8,3,5,2,3,[END]. Then restart.

I have had 3g slowness too the past month or so. I have tried using the device codes to change the speed of the 3g and that seemed to help a bit. But the odd thing i notice alot is that if I plugin my headphones it sometimes gets very slow after that to the point that I can barely text message or receive emails. At that point i have to reboot the phone and then the speed goes back to normal.

If your phone is slow, try rebooting it and see if that fixes your speed.
[General Questions and Answers] Kyledoo:
Hello, I recently got the Transformer Prime and am soon looking to get the dock. I am a Computer Engineering major and was surprised how many apps there are that allow me to use my tablet instead of my computer except for VERY specialized applications.

For example, I can program C/C++, run and compile, but cannot do anything with file manipulation as I do not know where the compiled file(.out?) is stored. I can also run MATLAB code on my tablet, even scripts. With all of these niche applications filled there is really only one thing missing before I can truly feel comfortable leaving my laptop at home most of the time: A decent word processor! By decent I mean supporting semi-advanced features such as page breaks, tables, drawings, and most of all, EQUATIONS. I cannot for the life of me find an app that allows the viewing (let alone editing) of .doc or .odt files with equations in them. In the place of the equations are nothing, not even an ugly attempt, NOTHING.

Does anyone know a solution to this? I am *Almost* hoping for microsoft to release a version of their Office Suite for android, unless someone else can do it sooner!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtillis09:
From the moment I rooted my x10 I followed Zdzihu's method and rooted my 2.2.1

Now i'm on stock 2.3.3 rooted and everything. I've always used the latest version of xrecovery and it's worked for me and everything i seem to need when flashing back and forth between roms or flashing quick tweaks and upgrades.

Basically, being the noob that i am i never migrated away from xrecovery so my question is what is Clockworkmod and Rom manager? Can/should i use them as well as xrecovery?

I've been able to just make backup's through xrecovery of different firmwares of android so if i wanted to go back i could. Any advice helps, never used this app or procedure before.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panzerfaust101:
Generally, different recoveries offer different possibilities. The most generic recovery is the ClockworkMod recovery which is used by practically all the other phones that run Android. The X10 was unique in that Sony Ericsson wasn't really as open as companies like HTC about software, so they couldn't easily make a CWM version for X10. Instead, Z made xRecovery after a lot of experimentation which was the X10's first functioning recovery.

Recently, they've managed to make a version of ClockworkMod for X10, but they both are used for flashing different things (i.e. xRecovery can flash some files whereas CWM can't (e.g. xRecovery can flash the Xperia S launcher into the ROM whereas CWM can't as the file system is too old or something) and vice versa (some ROMs like the brilliant MIUI-based BlackHD Edition can only be flashed via CWM)).

ROM manager is an app that makes flashing CWM and custom ROMs much simpler and safer for people who don't really understand how to do things like use recovery and flash ROMs. Unfortunately, the X10 was not one of the devices supported by ROM manager, so you won't find the CWM for it in that app, nor will you find ROMs that work for X10 on it, so for X10 users, ROM manager is a useless app that doesn't support our device (at least it wasn't supported the last time I checked, which was about 2 years ago). For us, you will have to visit XDA and download the ROMs posted in the threads and flash them the traditional way or as described by the poster (which, in my opinion, is much better than letting an app do everything behind a closed curtain. Mac users will disagree with me on that one :p)

In other words, xRecovery is perfect if all the things you are flashing only require xRecovery. When you need to do something with CWM, install it, otherwise it's not really nessecary. If you REALLY want CWM, I can link you to the thread where you can find it. Stock kernel supports dula recoveries (i.e. xRecovery and CWM at the same time) and you really only need to flash the CWM zip from xRecovery to install it, much the same as you would install a custom ROM
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laneyofdeath:
Cwm is mostly (though not exclusively) for cm based roms. Xrec will do the rest. I personally use xrec much more as the larger number of roms are flashed through it. But they are essentially the same thing.
