Apparently it's an ICS 4.0.4 issue where Google Voice is totally broken since the same issue occurs on the Galaxy S II rom where Google Voice no longer integrates. *sigh* just when I thought I'd *finally* have my Google Voice working properly (ported my # to google voice so it's quite annoying)

guys I am stuck in the lte, wcdma gsm mode after ICS update I want only gsm only or gsm/wcdma how to go about it.

I want the stock rom no root. How do I go about it??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinhvtai:
I think that you should use ICS pdl then u should downgrade to 2.3 via zip file, it's ok.

from dialer, just press *#*#4636#*#* > phone information -> scroll down, gsm only or u can use widgetsoid from market, it's easy to use.

I think that a very popular question, why the man (sorry I don't remember your name), who post the topic 'pantech burst essential' don't update it for everyone know the answers kind of those questions?

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

tried both pdls. the march one would tell me complete each time but leave me stuck in s/w upgrading mode. even when I'd reboot it would go right back to s/w mode but the lil phone on the screen's screen would turn from black to orange. would stay this way each time I rebooted after. when I tried the ics pdl it would atleast reboot and go to the pantech logo where it would get stuck. I even tried putting it into the stock recovery to do a factory wipe but there were so many mount errors it was crazy. glad I moved my picture folder from internal sd to external sd earlier today

We are still didn't found out it.kagedws6 was working on it,but he accidentally bricked his device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
because of the locked bootloader you risk bricking. mine bricked but I didn't get that far lol I had downloaded it with rom manager and went to actually move it from the internal to external memory due with my computer when connecting via usb froze the phone and was never able to get back in. so I would say my issue was hardware failure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finn81:
install Widgetsoid 2.x , choose "Signal strenght" , then choose "Mobile network settings" . There you will be able mark/unmark "Use only 2g networks"

I had a peculiar issue last night. It also occurred this morning. The phone vibrates for about 3 seconds solid and then superuser notification keeps popping up with "shell has been granted superuser permissions" repeatedly for a few minutes.

I googled the problem and one suggestion was to update superuser, which I did (didn't fix it apparently). I checked the SU log and it had about 150 incidents of shell receiving permissions. It's not a big problem, but it sure seems like an odd one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Level99:
Just make your FAQ post in the Pantech Essentials Thread (in my sig, if you don't already have it bookmarked). Request the OP to integrate your material into the thread so that way we don't have lots of disparate information floating around.

Found one other pretty major thing that is going to merit research. TuneIn Radio, which I have used for a long, long time on two different phones to listen to the radio while on my bike, is now suddenly draining the battery BIGTIME. Yesterday my phone went from >90% to under 10% in just over an hour with TuneIn running, and today it went from 84% to 40% in about 20 minutes with TuneIn + SportsTracker on my bike ... previously in over an hour I ran Pandora along with SportsTracker and it went only from 98% to 84%... so Pandora with ST is maybe 14%/hr and TuneIn with ST is >100%/hr. Something is seriously wrong.

FWIW it didn't do this with GB. I could run TuneIn OR Pandora and also SportsTracker for 1.5-2 hrs on my bike and only use about 40% battery total. TuneIn is useless with ICS and extreme battery drain.

Looks like the problem with extreme battery drain with some streaming apps is not unique to TuneIn Radio, not unique to the Burst, but IS unique to ICS. That stinks because in many other ways battery life on ICS is way better.

honestly i don't know why Pantech took long time in order to release ICS and it seems that it has a log of bugs like the battery and worst of all the stupid idea of only use 4g or 3g as conection i had to download some app in order to chose edge i still complaining about battery life even my phone it's rooted and has cpu master i downgrade to 432mhz when screen is off and it gets supper laggy worst than gingerbread all the bloatware that at&t installed in ICS and it is not possible to remove if you don't root your phone and the options about menu is one of the things that i am very disappointed why all the apps that are download have to be in the last part? and can not be in alphabetical order as the gingerbread?

Annnnnd... Brick!

Not sure wtf happened. I was in CWM (6.0.1.4 i believe, DL'ed from Rom Manager), and made a backup of my phone. Then I went to install GaBuzz's ROM. I installed .zip, cleared cache and dalvik, and was stuck in a recovery boot loop. So I selected factory wipe from CWM. CWM made it as far as "formatting /data" then froze. So I pulled the battery, now it doesn't power on, doesn't charge, it does exactly nothing. And since my Burst is red, it actually LOOKS kind of like a brick.

I plugged it into my laptop and it came up as "QHSUSB-DLOAD". I googled and found drivers here on xda-developers. Now device manager sees it as "Qualcomm HS_USB QDLoader 9008 (COM15). Um, what? Is it salvageable?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaBuzz:
Sorry to hear your having problems, but I'll say it again, there is a problem with CWM 6.0.1.4 it looks nice and has more features but it just not working properly, I don't recommend people using it. Will your phone go into SW mode?(hold both volume up and down while powering up).

If it won't go into SW mode that way try holding down both up and down volume buttons while pluging in the usb cable into the computer, this usually forces it to go into upgrade mode.

Did you do it in that order? if so it's not the right way to go about installing any rom.

Seems to me the partitions on your phone where wiped out, not sure how that could happen.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourpointsix:

I have also difficult to follow the instructions although I have rooted 5 other android phones.

It says to download files, but not specifies where, on the phone or computer. I may download to my phone and use terminal app to enter command "adb push" ..... Or I should download files to computer, connect to phone and use DOS command on the computer to push files to the phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
I don't mean to question you but why did you buy the burst? there were plenty of other phones or you could have gotten an older phone like a older tmobile g1 that would have used edge, had a slow cpu, had great battery life etc.... the burst was a phone that was no only top of the line for the price bracket but came with 4g lte, a known small battery (all the reviews pointed that out) and the promise of a new(er) operating system.

I know there are bugs but as part of the pantech burst community we were just short of showing up with torches and pitchforks to their offices. no one seemed to research or look up common ics issues before ranting about them. I'm guilty too but I look at is as we can either fix these issues ourselves or find help in fixing them (etc with a cm port) or we can kick our feet and flail our arms around complaining that we got what we asked for but we didn't know what we wanted.

oh total side note: my phone bricking wasn't the result of cwm or flashing a zip or anything. it actually failed on me prior to that. I was actually going to mount my sd card as a usb thumb drive so I could copy the zip to it. it crashed when I clicked the mount to usb button. I can only guess faulty nand memory. anyway when I get my new one I completly plan on rooting it, installing cwm, and upgrading to ics via davepmer's deodexed copy or try gabuzz's.

also if anyone else has created a new rom please let me know so I can upload it to the rom manager database (you don't actually have to download with rom manager but the option is always there. figured it was a nice place to collect any as they come out)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
You should try this method buddy: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32343215&postcount=33 I have rooted via this method and it worked great :)

All you need to do is to connect your phone to PC via USB (with USB debugging mode ON in your phone). You also have to enable installation of non-market applications (again, in your phone). Open a DOS command prompt, and keep typing the instructions one line at a time. You won't need to touch your phone at all after you enter the first command.

Assumption here is you have Android SDK platform tools (or at least adb) installed and the folder is in your %PATH%.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
if you are asking about the new root you are to download most of the files to your platform-tools folder where the android sdk is installed. from there it will push to your phone.

if you are already rooted and have cwm installed, and you are trying to download a rom. you would want to download and save that to the main directory of your sd card as thats where when you boot to recovery you will chose install from zip

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
On the contrary, the common theme was insistent that whatever ICS update had, it would fix everything and the whole world would be at peace. In fact, on GB the Burst had few if any legitimate issues and on ICS it has tons of issues, not all of which are known or common ICS issues.

But of course, nobody on this thread wanted to hear about how there are bugs in software and how release schedules work or what professional software engineers do, how businesses operate, etc. They act like if they find ONE bug and Pantech knows about it then it is guaranteed to be fixed at the next available opportunity. Guys, Pantech probably has documented thousands of bugs that they are not going to fix because there is no viable market reason to do so, and frankly it was foolish for them to release ICS on this phone anyway given the risk and the stability of GB from the factory.

Sometimes you get what you asked for, even if you were not aware that what it is you were asking for.

Any development on a ROMfor the burst yet?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Level99:
People are encountering issues with CWM and flashing roms, but some people may forget that no matter what you're doing, once you enter that arena there's a chance something could go wrong. We don't have as organized a dev area because we don't have our own subsection to keep things clear cut. We don't have the most amount of devs working as on some other phones because this phone isn't as popular, and therefore there's less interest in developing for it. We are lucky to have a few people who are helpful and making progress on things, but you are taking a risk with utilizing what they give you. ICS has barely been out over a week, we have a pretty reliable root and a few CWM versions with various reliability/functionality. We also have some zips that people can try flashing, but if you brick it you brick it. Even the best devs brick phones, and there may be a way to fix it, but since we're on the cusp of developing for ICS now, its best to have patience (both if you're wanting to try things but don't want to break your phone, or if you've broken your phone and want help).

With all due respect, I beg to differ, I've found that on ICS my phone is faster, lasts longer, is more reliable and overall much more usable than it was on GB. I've found less issues, after my initial upgrade kerfluffle, I don't think it was foolish of them to release ICS on the phone at all, considering how companies like Motorola initially promised the upgrade, renegged, and are now losing many loyal customers for their change of heart. Pantech has shown that, even with slight delays, it does deliver what it promised. Anyone who has problems with the ICS upgrade out of the gate should go and start a line with Pantech tech support. Coming here is all well and good but if you're not modifying your phone, it should be Pantech to research what's going on.

This is, as far as I know, true. HOWEVER, it should be noted that davepmer's touch CWM 6.0.1.4, and potentially the CWM 6.0.1.4 that is available via Rom Manger may have unexpected issues flashing roms. CWM 5.0.2.7 is the safest as of now, though is not guaranteed to not have issues. From my understanding, all CWM versions are compatible with all versions of bootloaders and android level (GB/ICS).

If someone knows differently, please say so. Let's get some clarity up in this thing!

PS. When doing anything in CWM, make sure you have more than 75% battery and/or have the phone plugged in to charge. Don't take chances with having your phone power down while doing something critical.

the good bad and ugly

'Fraid not, fourpointsix. There is a tool called QPST that can be used to communicate with the chipset while it is in this mode, but we don't have the hex or mbn files available to load to the burst through Qualcomm's utility. My phone met the same demise as yours, and it was purchased used on ebay, but as these phones are less than a year old, they are still under MFG warranty (don't try at&t, most of these phones were sold to ebay sellers through a liquidation sale, and as such have no warranty through them). I was able to speak with someone at Finetechwin (Pantech's warranty servicer), and I asked him about this situation, and more specifically about the problem of me not having the original proof of purchase, since they require it. The gentleman I spoke with said that they mainly need the receipt to verify if the device is still under warranty, but they should be able to look that up via the phone's SN# and IMEI. Also, since all bursts are still under a year old, they should still be covered.
