You can also try going into your device settings on your pc (samsung/modem) and resetting the driver it seems to get "stuck" sometimes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejbmvp:
yea this same method works for me too when the pc doesnt recognize it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ross4747:
I tried the USB utilities but it only popped up with MTP initialization and then MTP connected but when I click connect it tells me remove USB chord
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejbmvp:
mine told me to remove it too. so i had to click connect *before* plugging in the usb cable
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ross4747:
yea thats what i did and thats when i got the MTP initialization and connected messages but no response from my PC
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smtolman:
+1 to this... its the new way to connect
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] charlesvw9:
I put this on my sd card (by taking the card out of the phone) and putting it in a card reader. I flashed the file from the stock recovery and this gave me custom recovery. Then I restored my previous backup. I was having the same issue and FB21 has too many bugs. I went back to gingerbread but kept fb21 modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ross4747:
OK that also didn't work I have mobile Odin on my.phone is it possible to use it to go back to stock?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ross4747:
OK I've gotten my PC to know when my phone is connected but no matter how many times install the drivers or uninstall and install kies or use the MTP method you guys talked about it still comes up unrecognized device I tried going into device manager and updating them myself unfortunately that didn't help it kept giving me the code. 10 device is unable to start any ideas?

I experiment with some apps, install them via market, after a short time uninstall them. Now, market shows "installed" for uninstalled apps. Is there any way to "told" the market that these apps are uninstalled?
[Kindle Fire General] airmaxx23:
Try clearing the data for the Market app.
[Kindle Fire General] bbc0:
rebooting seems to fix that for me. How would you clear the market data ?
[Kindle Fire General] BluesHawk:

[Kindle Fire General] airmaxx23:
Depending on which ROM you're using: Menu >settings >applications >manage applications (if you're on CM7) >scroll down to the Market app, press it and select clear data. You will need to sign back into the Market once you open it again.

Just curious, has anyone tried this via Mobile Odin? I've used Odin via PC; many times to save my ass and I love my Rogue Gunslinger recovery too. But and haven't used the Mobile Odin before. Would it be safe to use it to do a full wipe/flash via Mobile Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slatter39:
Thanks Bro. Now i can get to some flashing. Any issues so far with FB21? Heard there were some heating issues.

Anyone think I can flash this kernel on Cm9 without a brick or breaking mostly everything? Well I guess since I still have my Old Epic Just In case I shall Demo It.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thatdude:
Heating issue confirmed. Wi-Fi disabled while phone was idle. Had to reboot phone to get it active again. Will update on any other bug found.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
I've been running this since earlier today and so far (crosses fingers) haven't encountered the overheating, wifi, notification or even bluetooth bugs mentioned throughout a few different threads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Itchiee:
Thanks for providing your services!

Figured I'd try this out to see whats up and so far so good. I used Odin to install (full wipe) coming from your EL29 version. I've noticed this has quite a few programs "running" which you can stop, and may be why some are feeling the heat and lackluster battery performance with the phone crunching extra data. Wifi works very well and seems quicker then the previous EL versions on testing.

My GPS is completely kaput, but the Google triangulation works extremely well even if it never locks on a GPS signal (Neither does the ol' GPS status flush trick). My GPS has always been weak sauce on this phone, but still hoping its software since in the past a fresh reboot brings it to life, no longer the case on this ROM and/or Radio for me at least.

Even so, I'm digging the ROM and even TW to some capacity... I also have a 55" Samsung TV, and Galaxy Tab 10.1 and I like the sharing capability it has between all the devices... So futuristic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] troublein420:
I seem to have a bug going on in every version of Fb21 on my et4g that I've tried in the last few days. The vibrate for notifications does not work. It works for calls, but not texts, emails, and the such. Anyone else come accross this? Haven't seen it posted anywhere.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
Weird thing happened to my Market. All of a sudden when I click on my apps, I only see this message saying "apps and games owned by this device will appear here" but nothing is shown. I saw this first on my Epic Touch and now the problem carried over to my Asus Tablet Market. Anyone know what his behavior is? Thanks

dja2k
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dja2k:
Well I got the Market thing worked out but now I am seeing another problem. Anyone seen the modem crash during calls and the phone soft reboots?

dja2k
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] quazimodem:
I've experienced soft reboots but I had no idea what was causing it because I never caught it when it happened. GPS seems pretty spotty and I would get occasional freezes when I toggle network settings like turning wifi off/on or disabling 4g.

FB17 felt more stable to me... I'm hoping for a new/better ICS leak.

2. Transfer APK to phone

3. Install and open app and it should recognize the device and download required files

What if we already paid for an app that doesnt work with the vivid. How do we get it on the vivid?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
The method mentioned above works for some is because those apps actually do work for the Vivid, just that the developer may have not updated the compatibility list. But if the app is actually not compatible, then there really isn't any way to make it happen besides sending a request to app developer for adding support.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] haggardh:
Its asphalt 6 which I thought this extension worked for. If not I shall wait for it to become compatible.

Yeah I tried it on Asphalt and it did work. This is the only work around I know of that can get you the official working game legitimately.

Hey guys, just a little input. I haven't tried any of my gameloft games on the Vivid, I did notice they didn't show up in the market. I had the same issue with my HTC flyer tablet. All you have to do is e-mail Gameloft and tell them the issue and they'll e-mail you a direct download link to the game.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] plaster:
I got Gameloft to email me a "working" version of asphalt 6. It plays fine and runs fluid. Problem is, there is some horrible graphic glitches. Instead of rendering smoke, light beams or pretty much anything translucent, it renders the bounding box. On a few tracks where there is fog or sun burst, the game is nearly unplayable.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cyapalmpos:
I got the apk installer working no problems. Works for free games, but not my purchased games. I go to Asphalt 6 and the button to download the apk doesn't show but if I go to the free version, it shows. Did ya'll get it to work on any paid games and if so, how?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
It used to work, but a later update of the extension disabled it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cyapalmpos:

I'll email Gameloft, then.

[Q] Best ROM for using as MP3 Player? Remove "phone" button and disable cell antenna?

Just got a droid incredible and I'm using it as an mp3 player (ipod touch killer).

Basically, I don't need verizon service (cell antenna) or the phone button.

What's the best ROM for this? Would like something stable without many (or any) bugs (compared to stock).

Also would like one that would extend battery life if it doesn't sacrifice much else.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
I would use one of the stock based roms like my rom Touch of Blue, or jermaines Stock+ rom. I do not know how to turn off the radio in a way that is presistent after a reboot. To remove the phone button you would need to decompile a couple framework apks edit them and then recompile them. Not sure exactly what you would need to edit. I know how to make it not say phone but there would still be a pushable button there that brings up the dialer.

Mabey i will look into making a rom like this for fun. It might get some use now that a lot of people have retired their incredibles and moved to other newer phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpufreak3:
So even if I use a an AOSP rom, I would still have the phone button issue?

What about using GB with Sense 3.0?

I'll take a look at your ROM, thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
If the presence of the phone button will bother you, just use a custom launcher with whatever rom you flash.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
There's a script somewhere in the dev forum that disables everything but wifi if I am not mistaken, and changing over to something like launcher pro should satisfy your no phone needs.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16625312
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
and you can use Go Launcher or Launcher Pro Plus for your custom launcher and have no phone button.

Personally I'd go with Launcher Pro Plus.. I think it's quicker, though the developer has stopped developing it- it's still solid for our phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
just delete the phone apk on the rom? you can always reflash if you run into issues. it should give a battery increase too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
That will not actually remove the phone button though, it just wont bring up the dial pad.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
i was talking as in cm7
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpufreak3:
Wow thanks for the replies everyone.

For the time being, I've put the phone in airplane mode and kept wifi on.

I will try a different launcher soon - I also have an HTC flyer and had issues with other launchers (stability-wise).

I will root the phone when I get a chance so I can use that script.

Looks like it'll cost you around 135.

I paid 165.00 including shipping but had to order two of them and that was out of china... took a couple of weeks too. You might find a better price for the screen somewhere but pretty much nobody actually has them here in the US yet...

I've still got an extra screen if you want to try to talk it out of me by PM...

I also work for a small computer store locally and we do screen replacements on cell phones....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:
I think he meant replaced from our carrier, the whole phone. I had a tragedy last night so I'll be needing a screen asap to replace it, use to do this for years for everyone else I knew, starting with iPhones. I may be in touch. does the replacement have the double sided tape on it already?

don't feel bad brother. The wife was in one of her moods, I had a migraine, she kept nagging. Phone went flying to the wall. After I saw what Ive done, boy was i mad. Lol. Newho using a Sensation with 4.0.3 AOSP so no complaints here. Prolly file for replacement later this week.

ALSO dude remember to get ur pics off the phone if it still turns on. I used Droid Explorer. Works like a charm and noob friendly if you don't know what you are doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
the screen has a foam base, no adhesive, most of the adhesive is at the edges and top and bottom of the screen and will stay on the phone frame if you are careful so you only have to worry about the LCD itself, I made a couple of 1mm tape strips and put them on the back of the LCD just to keep it from vibrating or getting broke loose from the screen (like that would actually happen)...

there is a light bar at the bottom of the screen for the buttons, it's easier to let it come out with the screen and then remove it later and set it back in the phone frame. The light bar has lots of adhesive on it too.

If you preserve enough of the original adhesive in the phone frame there is no reason why a bit of contact cement (rubber cement) wouldn't hold the LCD in just fine too.

I got my screens from globaldirectparts, you have to sign up to use them but they have quite a bit of sgsII parts...

Sucks I can't call Tmo and just get insurance, wait a week and file for it :/

how long does that site take to ship?

EDIT: Looks like you have to be a business with a fed tax ID to sign up and order, they have what I want to, the screen already in a front housing :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
I thought there was no guarantee on whether or not you get a refurb or a brand new in box phone?

Directly from the T-mobile PHP information on their website.

If you receive a replacement wireless device, it may be new or remanufactured.

• If the same make and model you claim is not available, a similar make and model may be substituted.

• You may also receive generic manufacturer accessories.

Oh and I don't work at the store.

Excuse my mistake. you are correct. I wrote my response with past experience and not policy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OldeCrow:
that might need the light bar for the buttons across the bottom too...

@phoenix6

The tax id field on their site you can use your SS number for it, I would suggest changing at least a couple of numbers in it though as they have no need for that info for small purchases. The sign up form is automatic and not screened so you will have access as soon as you submit the information...

It took a threatening email to them to get them to ship but i had the parts in about three days once they did ship! I would guess they are a drop shipper or had to source the parts elsewhere... they do have a US distributor too but there doesn't seem to be any stock for sgs II parts from the US distributor...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:
Thanks! All great info. I actually found what I wanted on eBay, screen already in the front frame (lcd, digitizer, button lights, etc.) for $189 shipped. It's from Hong Kong but they promise 7 day business for US customers and they have decent reviews and still at 100%. If they don't pan out, I'll go your route. May I ask why you had to use a threatening email for them to send?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phoenix6:
Probably won't work, I just dropped $185 on a new screen from eBay for my T989. Its the screen already installed in the front frame so I dont have to scrape all the old glass off and use custom cut 3M 3mm tape to glue it in. LCD Screen and Digitizer isn't much cheaper for our phones. If you can part with the phone for 2 weeks I believe you can send it directly to Samsung for $165 for them to fix it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chris123234:
Might want to get some help for that before things turn out worse :(

T-Mobile's "Personal Handset Protection" insurance (provided by Asurion, due to state requirements for insurance/service provider separation, I believe, ) has a 130$ copay for top end phones. It covers everything, I believe, but you have to have it on the account before anything happens (or get a rep to put it on after the fact).
