[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
We see all the specs a device has except ROM size and ROM is even more important than RAM, CPU which are always listed on devices. Lucky for me my HD7 ROM was listed but you don't get to see them on the lumias, titans etc . All that is listed is internal, RAM, CPU. No ROM and GPU. Meanwhile we all know phones are not updated based on ROM,something most people don't know and it's a very important spec which is not listed. You get to see rom size at settings on most android phones but not windows phones and as a windows phone user and lover, I'm concerned. How can we know our ROM sizes??

[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
What does it matter, if I may ask? As long, as it fits updates, there is no reason for you to need to view it :). GPU is tied to the CPU itself pretty much.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kenzibit:
It matters because it's now becoming clearer that phones get major OS updates due to their ROM size. In the android world, most pho e will nt get the ICS because the ICS package is way bigger than their ROM sizes.So i will rather get a pone with a bigger ROM just to assure myself of major OS updates can can only do this if the ROM size is listed.

WP is not android, MS has be doing OS's alot longer than google, both mobile and PC, they know what they are doing. ROM size doesn't and shouldn't mean anything to the end user.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
does the updates go straight to ROM? i don't think so, they store first on the memory of the phone, therefore stays in some updates "you must have some storage memory free to update..."
[Windows Phone 7 General] jessenic:
The update gets downloaded to a temporary folder and then it gets installed to ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
thats what i said :) just another words :) so why does it matter which size the ROM is... the only what really matters is RAM, because if the want to try to port win8 to 512mb of RAM, thats really tight for all apps, think just of your pc now, i have the consumer preview of windows 8 and in normal use, on start it uses over 500mb of RAM. and with 2gb of RAM i am not able to use it seamlessly like windows phone 7
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
i whish we all get wp8 update on all of our wp7 handsets. i relly whish that but i look from an other site to it. from the site if it is possible or not... and i think its not possible to get the same experience now on our 1gen device like on a arm win8 tablet...
[Windows Phone 7 General] otivaeey:
ROM is a paramount component. I own a HTC Amaze 4G (pretty high end) which has got 2.5 GB of ROM size and stock firmware. By the end of the day (I mean with loads of apps moved to SD), I still face the problem of "insufficient storage available" crap and after a total wipe out using cache cleaner+, I am left with about 250 MB of ROM which is pathetic.

In 2011, ROM size is still the bottleneck in smartphones. Good job phone designers, you had our money and messed up with our brain. I wonder which smartphones out there are having at least >5 GB of ROM?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
how do you mean insufficient storage available? rom is not and read/write memory, its just and READ memory. so it can not be used to store you personal data or anything similar... do you think maybe RAM? you device has 1gb RAM, and if your apps working in the background that beside the UI and the whole system you have no more RAM available that can happen. but insufficient rom? ROm is only used to "store" your system, but the data collected in the system such as phone numbers, pictures, cache are in the storage memory (external sd card) or (internal memory as it is internal "hidden" sd card) and not in the ROM.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Budniu:
Hmmm for checking ROM memory size I'm using Memory status
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:
Is that 512MB ROM (Green)? 475MB usable?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dinchy87:
i think that is phone memory of all 476mb or 475mb. and i think that is RAM, not ROM. everybody say here ROM (READ only memory) for RAM (Random access memory) the ROM has only the system, the bootloader and so on, the RAM is used for app cache and other things. same as a PC RAM, it stores your open or last used programs od dokuments. and i have an htc 7 pro too. and it has 476mb of RAM, and not ROM. the ROM in the htc 7 pro is 512mb.

[Dell Streak 7] 93starletgt:
Hello

I've got a used Streak 7 with the official Dell Honeycomb update. I made a master reset while driving home, then connected it to my WIFI network and worked very well! until it suddenly rebooted while browsing the web. After turning it on again and using the youtube app, the same thing happened even at full charge with the cable still plugged. Annoyed as hell, did another master reset... seemed to work well but after an hour it rebooted again... and does it every 10 minutes or so.

I am pretty sure it is software related because seconds before each reboot, the screen goes black and I am able to read: "Android System" with a weird icon on the top left corner... then It displays the Power Off/Shutting Down dialog (like when you power it off the right way pressing the power button) but then instead of pwering off it reboots itself.

I have noticed that if I leave it alone without opening any applications, it stays on. So far I have done 6 master resets and the issue is still there.

Any help please!!?
[Dell Streak 7] 93starletgt:
anyone? :)
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
I'm no expert on this but it seems about all you can do is to NVflash some other ROM since that will wipe your internal memory and repartition it. Then go back to HC again. If you have anything important on your device, back it up somehow as all data will be erased. There are lots of Guides and How To's here, some are good but some aren't! You'll have to read, read and reread till you go blind.
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Though you are running Dell's official rom, I'm not sure which rom it is. Anyway, I suggest you follow the instructions here and update it to the newest 514 rom. This will wipe your ds7 and give you a clean start.

http://streakblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-patch-to-fix-docking-bug.html
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's a known bug that hasn't been been able to be repaired and/or addressed. The only version that didn't have this problem was the stock Froyo and DJSteve's custom Froyo builds.

The Honeycomb builds, even the stock ones on my Streak did the same thing, and once in a while the ICS beta I'm currently using will randomly reboot if I'm using the browser.

NOW if I remember correctly, DJ Steve's Honeycomb builds R2 through R6 weren't plagued with this that I can remember. I used them all and don't recall random reboots of any kind.

Hope this helps. I know it's frustrating and I used to pull my hair out thinking it was something I installed. It may be my Streak, but down here in Costa Rica there are a group of about 20 of us that have one and I service them all and they were all plagued with the random reboots in the Honeycomb builds
[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
I am running stock 514 rom and found it to be less prone to the reboot. Before this update my ds7 would reboot at least 2-3 times a week. Now it would be 2-3 times a month. I noticed that some apps do trigger the reboot, specially poor written apps and non-honeycomb apps. So don't go installling every apps under the sun.

But back to the OP problem, you seem to have an excessive amount of reboot. I would update to the 514 rom first because it is simple and easily done before you nvflash to other roms.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
After upgrading to 514, I cant say I've ever gotten a reboot on it since it came out.

Had a fair amount of them on 506 though.

Cant speak for HS as I dont use them.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
I wish I had your luck... On all HC roms... Stock or Steven's I had reboots so bad that my 7 was almost unusable... Not much without root but after root it got real bad... I even quit using it for a while... But mine is the 4G version so that may have had something to do with the instability

SGS II I9100 from TapaTalk
[Dell Streak 7] 93starletgt:
ok, this sucks

thanks... I have been playing with it for more than a week and I've discovered that

if I tap on the back of it lightly, it immediately reboots

!

The reboot also occurs if I hold it horizontally twisting it a bit (being gentle of course).

So, even if it seems like a software issue (because it reboots instead of suddenly loosing power completely)... it is actually a hardware issue.

I've been reading a lot regarding this problem and learned this also happens on the Dell Streak 5. Some users say that when Android detects an unstable voltage it auto reboots... and the problem with those ds5 is the battery not sitting completely still and it can be solved just by putting a piece of paper under the battery, great for them with a detachable battery! but not for us with a sealed system.

Do any of you have a service manual? I am willing to take it apart to try to solve this problem. My streak is unusable.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmfreier:
Hello all,

I have a Nexus S GT-I9020A which was bought in Canada and want to use in Germany with the German T-Mobile network.

My problem:

After turning the phone on, sound is completely garbled on the first call I make and just silent on subsequent calls. The phone on other side still rings, but nothing gets through in either direction. Rebooting then gets me exactly one more garbled call.

Now, I know that this device doesnt support the T-Mobile/us frequency bands, see this wiki entry. In Germany, however, it appears that T-Mobile uses the UMTS 1900/2100 bands which should work fine with the 9020a. (see this (Wikipedia article). Furthermore I observed that the 3G data connection works fine and switching to "2G only" mode make no difference. The cell reception status bars show a strong signal. Im therefore sceptic that the problem is simply caused by frequency band compatibilty issues.

I am currently on the newest Gingerbread Stock Rom. Also tried Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha, with no difference.

Does anyone have an idea what might cause this issue and how it can possibly be resolved?

Thanks a lot in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmfreier:
Ok, since nobody else seemed to know what I was talking about, it might be helpful to say how I solved the problem: by flashing another radio ROM.

I had been running the default, stock, UCKJ1 radio version which came with Ice Cream Sandwich. After having a look at this Radio-ROM Thread, I installed XXKF1 which is supposed to work for the i9020T hardware as well as for my i9020a.

After flashing this radio, all my problems were gone.

Does anyone know how this can be accomplished on the htc vivid. I have a rooted vivid running cwm v2 and android 2.3.4
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
I had someone try to freeze TetheringGuard to see if it would work, but it didn't (WC's ICS build). I don't think this will be a valid process for the Vivid - I'm sure the devs have this in the back of their heads though. Patience, young padiwan. Have you tried Barnacle wifi tether or android wifi tether? I couldn't get either to work on wc's ICS build, but I don't know what ROM or android flavor you're running, so you might get different results
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WalkSoftly:
+1 I tried to freeze tetheringguard but didn't work. However, I believe you can change the APN settings To enable Wi-Fi tethering. The only catch is that it disables LTE

That would be handy. I don't live in an LTE area anyway. Do u know how?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WalkSoftly:
I can't post any links yet. But if you do a Google search for Motorola Atrix free Wi-Fi tethering you should find some information on how to change the APN settings. Let me know if it works.

Edited with working instructions:

Edited to avoid debate. I am posting this with working wifi tether on wild child's latest. Here's how -

Install android_wifi_tether b11 (http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...ail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=)

Go into settings and set your "Device Profile" to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM).

Tick the box for "Routing Fix"

Start Tethering

Connect from computer

Boom - tethered

Note: You may or may not need to use access control to allow your computer.

Note 2: It's very possible that you'll run into IP conflicts with the general setup. You might have to go to Change LAN and pick a new subnet.

Note 3: Problably not a bad idea to setup encryption

Note 4: I was initially getting DNS errors - don't know if it was Routing Fix that corrected it, or using OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) was what fixed it. So, if after doing everything else, if it's still not working hardcode OpenDNS servers for DNS Servers on your wireless connection[/quote]
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sbddude:
didn't work for me. After tapping "start tethering" it takes a while, about 30 seconds, and finally says "tethering started with errors, check log for details." when i try to check the log, it says "no log file down". I can't see anything from my ipad.

^ This method works for me

However, before trying wifi_tether, I deleted the tetheringguard service via titanium backup to see if that would let the hotspot work. It didn't, and it seemed to lockup the built in settings.:o Is there a way to get this service back? Everything else seems to function fine so it's not a big deal if I cant.

This is for people who rooted their phones but do like the original rom the phone came with.

The above method does not work for my newly rooted an unlocked HTC Vivid running stock ICS 4.0.3

My phone is one of the more recent or last vivid's made, is there something in the builds that is preventing this from working?

I'm tried ticking the enable access control on and off to see if that mattered. I did chose "enable wifi encryption, but made no further choice about that, does that matter? I also used SQlite editor to make sure the apn was set from broadband to pta. It already was. (the method that can make all rom's work on a rooted phone).

What else can I try? I can't believe how easy it was for my crappy Galaxy precedent to wifi tether but my new vivid htc that is perfectly rooted is impossible for me to wifi tether.

Thanks for any suggestions. I'd really like to try and keep the stock rom if possible.[/QUOTE]

Forgot to mention that when I try it, wifi actually starts with out a warning message as if it's working correctly. I have only tried to see the wifi spot from my Ipad, but this worked fine when I tethered my crappy Galaxy Precedent.
