[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speckledpig:
Here's the problem: when the TF boots into the OS, the screen cuts off after the boot animation. I can see it fine in CWM also.

I was running the Prime ROM with HC 3.2. This ROM has worked quite well for months. Earlier this week, I was going to boot it up and use it while riding in the car. The screen was fine during the boot animation, but as soon as it hit the OS, it went blank.

I hit the power button and could tell that was working, because I could see a quick flash of backlight when I pressed it. But no screen display.

So I saw that Revolution 3.0 was released, so I installed it. The screen worked fine through CWM and everything was fine up until I installed the OS and went through the initial bootup and setup process in ICS.

When I turned it off and back on, it wouldn't come on. So I don't really know where to start. I assume this has something to do with the backlight sensor, and I have looked around here for some references, but nothing comes up.

Is there a way to disable the backlight sensor completely to test my idea? Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks all.

My TF was serviced by ASUS back in the summer after I dropped and bent the bezel. They put a new power button daughterboard and bezel on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speckledpig:
I just wiped the tablet with CWM and it let me reboot and go through the ICS setup steps again.

Screen went dark the very instant I touched the brightness slider control...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itenos:
Last week when the Onavo data monitor app appeared prominently placed on the market home screen I gave it a try.

Unfortunately it created a very annoying bug on my phone running JVU and Semaphore 2.5:

whenever my phone looses it's wifi connection for any reason it will not recognize and connect to available wifi anymore even if placed directly near the router with full signal strength!

The only way to get it connected again is switching wifi off and then on again...

I already uninstalled the app and did a factory reset but nothing changed. Probably it messed up some system files that don't get touched during factory reset.

As I'm in vacation now and don't have my data cable with me to flash a fresh firmware, is there any way to resolve this issue in other means?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itenos:
Nobody here with any idea how to resolve this? It's really annoying as even battery consumption goes up very much when the phone looses wifi and auto connects to 3g.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] putinsn:
I have no idea about your problem. I also have just installed Onavo on JVU firmware for a couple days, but everything is still ok....

So, I'm thinking the cause is from your router!! Why don't you try another wifi network?

Good luck!! ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itenos:
Thanks for your answer! It doesn't depend on my router. As I said I'm in vacation right now and therefor using many different available hotspots, it happens on all of them... :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MindToAsk:
Any issues with battery drain and onavo? Cause it was sucking mine dry!! I thought it was semaphore's fault (i'm on icssgs 4.2) until i figure it out and uninstalled it. Now it is Almost as prior installing onavo. I have a feeling that it left some garbage behind though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itenos:
It definitely left some garbage behind and this thread is about to find out how to get rid of it.

Battery drain was and unfortunately still is very high on my device thanks to the non desired 3g connection instead of wifi...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alkomy:
Try to flash a new kernel again. It may help you updating some files that control wifi.

I used onavo for couple of days, battery drains. Its functions already in ICS roms, Less but good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] itenos:
Thank you so much! That did the trick. The onavo garbage seems to be gone for good now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alkomy:
You are welcome,

Could you please tell us about the battery usage. Do you noticed some changes in battery life?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
I put the TeamHackSung ICS 6.5 rom on my Fascinate, and then installed the Glitch v1.4 beta 5 kernel. Found that my 3G no longer would connect. I looked through the dev thread, and in post #5 saw, "Signal won't work, this kernel is GSM, your fascinate is CDMA" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459530&highlight=glitch+v14)

That sounds pretty definitive that you can't use this Glitch kernel with the Fascinate, yet I could have sworn I've read about others using it. Am I misunderstanding something here?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
im running glitch v14 b5 on ths 6.5 with no issues.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
Humph. That certainly makes sense, given that the Glitch thread is in the Fascinate forums...but why did someone say there's a CDMA vs GSM problem?

Lemme try reinstalling it, after first doing another Nandroid backup.

Is the kernel that comes with TeamHackSung ICS 6.5 rom available, so that I don't have to fuss with Nandroid if I need to revert from Glitch?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
just reflash the rom but dont wipe data.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
Nope...got the same result. No 3G access.

Anything else I can try?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
odin back to stock and start over...if that still dont work then you might have to activate another smartphone on your line then reactivate your current device.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
Groan...I'll have to put off starting over for a bit; I don't have time right now to set up everything again. And I'm a bit worried about "reactivate your current device" since, per my other thread, I'm unable to get a dial pad when calling *228.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
the problem is you flashed the glitch b4 for 6.0 instead of the b4 6.1 version. If you read my guide it clearly states which version to flash. Also that link you posted is for the TELUS Fascinate NOT the Verizon Fascinate...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
Well, I flashed with the b5 for 6.1 version, and while the 3G worked, I ended up with the unable-to-Nandroid-backup bug. Since the only remedy I could find (clear the cache and Dalvik) didn't help, I've gone back to the kernel that came with TeamHackSung ICS. I'll keep an eye posted to see if future Glitch versions manage to fix the backup bug. Thanks for all the help.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
It should be fixed soon... For now, flash an older glitch kernel.. Backup.. Flash newest glitch
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
S'pose that's a workaround, although it makes the noob in me a bit nervous to keep flashing part of the OS like that.

Plus, despite having read the feature list, I'm still not clear just what switching to Glitch does for me.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Glitch gives you the ability to overclock up to 1500mhz... also in call audio is clear and alot more crisp than the stock kernel...the bug where you have to always adjust the volume down on every call is fixed aswell. I also like the glitch recovery alot better...you can wipe cache and dalvik at the same time.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
Do you think there's any chance that these changes to the recovery have something to do with the Nandroid backup problem?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
There is a problem with a partition not being mounted. And is being looked at. Find out more info in the glitch v14 thread in development.. For now just do a backup with the b3 kernel then flash back to b5
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BDogg718:
hey anthony if u dial*22890 u dont need to press 1. i had the same problem...it drove me crazy. lol
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
Yes, thanks, someone told me that on another thread. To summarize:

To activate phone or update roaming without a keypad:

*22890 ---> This will program/activate your phone.

*22891 ---> This will update your roaming capabilities.

No need to hit other buttons after dialing. Let it finish, and reboot your phone.

You can also try dialing star 228 and then hit the menu button and add 8 or 10 2-second pause to it... It will look like this: *228,,,,,,,,,1
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarthCivicus:
Hey guys, do you need the gingerbread boot loader before going to glitch? I can't find them in the vanilla ROM post.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Here ya go.

You don't really "need" the bootloaders before flashing glitch, but you should definitely have them to minimize any issues. Also, if you like BLN, I would flash B4 as opposed to B5, it's not working quite right on the latest beta.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
With the B5 kernel, my backlights come on when I have unread emails...and since I don't check them very often, I worry the feature is using a lot of battery. Is there a way to turn it off?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthony2816:
Just what are the bootloaders? What do they do, and how do I use them?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
They use very little battery
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] porksoda02:
Is anyone having display issues with the bottom 3 pixel rows?

It's not entirely annoying.

The whole display is shifted up 3 pixels. (not the physical display)

The 3 rows of pixels on the bottom stretch out the image.

You can see what I mean if you use the ChargerBar application.

By sending the bar to the bottom 1px in height, the bar is stretched out by 3px.

Then send the bar up to the top and it disappears.

You would have to increase the height of the bar by 3px.

I want to show a video. But I don't have a camera...

Its normal, noticed it as well.

I think its two pixels, not 3
[Samsung Infuse 4G] porksoda02:
What's strange is that when I reboot the device it's normal, the way it should look on the bottom. Once I turn off the screen for the first time and then turn it back on, this issue happens, and it stays until the device is rebooted again.

Been using my Razr maxx fine for 5 days now, and as of this morning, i am not receiving texts. I can send them, but i am not getting any. I have reset, hard reset, pulled the SIM card, rebooted, everything. the only thing that changed was installation of safestrap, and i know for a fact thats not the issue, because i froze it, rebooted, and tested again, still no texts. Im sure its "service issue" but there needs to be a way to fix it . Anyone know how?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] johnnyp500:
It could be an issue with verizon. Give it a couple of hours or call them and ask. If they say they are unaware of any issue give it a couple of hours anyway. If evwrything was working and u didnt do anything it's not a problem with the phone ...... usually
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tribalb:
Did you max your txt capacity in settings. Or delete the ones you have now. Try those two and see if you get txt now
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opivboy2:
I figured it out. After i rooted, i froze the stock text messages app (i use Chomp SMS). For whatever reason, i was still able to SEND messages, but incoming messages never got to the phone. once i unfroze the stock text app, they came back. So this one was entirely my fault.

There has been intermittent issues in my area since that outage last week.

Whatever the case may be, its always blue when I'm on 3G or on Wifi. On 4G, its either blue or gray. I can still browse sites through the browser, but I don't get push Gmail, or Gtalk won't work.

It's starting to piss me off now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] what25:
OK I visited the store. The display phone, along with 2 of the employees' phones, fluctuate between grey and blue bars on 4G, more time on the grey. They told me it was normal, I said no, if its on grey, then its not connected to google. Hence no push Gmail, or Gtalk is not signed in, and showed it to them. They seem to have no solution to this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Grey signal bars means you aren't connected to google servers.

The main reason for throttling is to maintain network stability. If AT&T wanted to force customers to switch to a teired plan, they would throttle all customers with unlinited data plan, instead of the top 5%.

Just my .02 cents. :)

[General Topics] Maroon Mushroom:
We already know that's not the case though. If AT&T forced everyone over, there would be a public outcry from 100% of the unlimited users. But right now, only 5% of those users are being hurt by this.

Getting throttled while using 2gb is NOT abuse of the network.
[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
I've posted this before, but I feel it's a good analogy.

Throttling the top 5% of unlimited users is like this:

Say there were a big, prestigious race going on between 100 cars. These cars would be going around the track for 100 laps. Now imagine that at the end of each lap, the top five cars each had one of their tires flattened. If this kept up for the entire race, eventually every single car would have all of their tires flattened, and no one would enjoy the race.

The problem with AT&T's throttling is that they aren't being fair about it. They throttle users based on regions, not on a national level. The top 5% level in New York City is significantly higher than in a more rural town. One man even sued AT%T for throttling him at 1.5GB per month. That isn't even close to fair use. They are simply trying to force user off of their unlimited plans by bullying them into it.
[General Topics] PeartFan40:
I agree with to a degree, but if AT&T's soul purpose was to force everybody off unlimited data, would they just throttle everyone on unlimited data, and not just the top 5%? I'm not at all defending AT&T, as I think they are awful for doing this.

[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
They will be throttling everyone soon enough. The problem isn't that they are throttling, but that they are being extremely shady about it. Verizon and Sprint both throttle, but they calculate the top 5% (Verizon) and top 1% (Sprint) based on the national average. AT&T does it based on the regional average. That's where we get people using less data than their tiered plans being throttled for abuse. Honestly, I can't even fathom a single reason why they would do this other than to force subscribers off of those plans and onto the "safer (for AT&T)" tiered plans.

The link on this page prove my argument beyond doubt,they don't care about the network,they care about making more money out of you,plain and simple the fact that they don't throttle you at 3GB with limited plans says it all,even if you pay extra you still are a data hug by their standards and they are making an impact on the network,3gb unlimited and 3GB limited is the same.

This is why i say this companies try to put them self as the fluffy white sheep,when they are the big bad hungry wolf.

[General Topics] martinisadork:
The fact that they claim to be throttling the "top 5%" just goes to show how disingenuous they are being.

What if all people on the unlimited plan starts using less than 500 Mb a month?

The top 5% will still be throttled?

What if 50% of users start using 50GB a month, throttling the top 5% isn't going to do much good then.

They aren't doing this to protect their network at all; they are doing it to protect their bottom line.
[General Topics] andreww88:
I am in south Alabama with Atrix. I have gotten up to 4GB in a month's time on unlimited and have never gotten a text about using a lot of data and being throttled. I think throttling is totally silly, especially since I'm paying for unlimited data!

But, the crazy part is the regional thing. Like I said, I went to 4GB before and did not get throttled. So the guy that sued AT&T and didn't even have 2GB, that is crazy.

Anyways, I think it's silly. Watch out when you change APNs. Sometimes ATT can find out and they will send you a letter saying they will push you down to a tiered plan if you keep tethering or changing those APNs.

APN issues

I created the APNs as stated and double checked entries. I named the second APN "AT&T MMS" since there wasn't any info on that (and should be neglibale, I imagine). However, when I select the AT&T HSPA+ as my default APN, my phone reconnects to the network, which is indicated by the 3G and H symbol on the taskbar, however, after several seconds it automatically reverts to the original APN. Is this because of a patch or should I backup the original APNs and delete them, forcing the device to use the new ones? This, of course, may render the phone unable transfer any data...
