I'm currently using ADW EX and I love it, the only thing that is annoying me is I can't seem to find a way to get a dock with rounded edges(even in themes that show a rounded "floating" dock) like the default dock in the free version. Anybody else have this problem or know a way around it because I really love the additional features in the ex version such as page transition animations, folders, etc.

Thanks,

Hi all,

Having a really frustrating issue with the Kindle. Games seem to be crashing to the the launcher (with no force close or anything). It's happening on multiple games, for example - Cartoon Wars, World of Goo, and really any game that has some type of graphics.

I tried setting the CPU minimum higher, I tried the IntersectRaven kernel, I then tried to limit the overclock on that to 1000 thinking it was that.

I'm open to any and all suggestions, its so frustrating. I have yet to flash back to stock to see if the same issues are there, but I may resort to doing so if I can't find a fix.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Thank you in advance.

I was just about to post an issue I have been experiencing with the Game Shadowgun. I have not had the same issue as above with any games but I have had issues with Shadowgun in that the game will pause itself every minute or two. This is actually the only game I have had any issues with. The game is fairly intense so I'm thinking it's pausing itself to play catch up, either way it's very annoying and the game looks sick so have been trying to figure out a way to prevent this. One thing I have been playing around with is Chainfire 3D witch has solved many game related issues with my phone. Including the same issue that is described above, kinda why I'm posting on this thread as it may help with the issue described in the op. Unfortunately I still have not had any luck with Shadowgun. If anyone else who purchased the game during the $. 45 sale has had this issue, would greatly appreciate knowing its not just me. Also, any suggestions on Chainfire 3D configuration or plug-in that would work well with CM7 Would also be appreciated.. Sorry I know it's not the same issue as above but figure an answer could be beneficial for both our issues.
[Kindle Fire General] burmjohn:
Welp, just an update. I tried 2 other version of CM7, I tried the overclocked kernel and the regular speed kernel. Both freeze up like the user above stated and or the game closes to the launcher.

I went on to grab the rooted stock rom, loaded that up, and not one crash when playing games.

I really wish someone could identify the problem, I can't stand the kindle rom and love running CM7.

I'm kind of shocked that no one else is experiencing this issue.

P.S. is there a way to load the stock kernel on CM7? (I googled around, didnt turn up anything)

Thanks guys

I have the MIUI Freshly Squeezed but I can't get a GPS lock. I can't even get it. I tried the way posted on xda that seemed to work for a lot of people but it didn't work for me. Any ideas???

This always works for me on CM7.1. I know MIUI is based on CM, so it's worth a try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
You "tried the way posted on xda that seemed to work for a lot of people but it didn't work for me"..thank you soooo much for the detailed description of what that method was haha. There are a good amount of fixes out there for GPS and you provided nothing as to what you have actually tried so i'll just assume you did nothing and start at zero.

1. try Crypted's AGPS fix in the dev thread. It works.

2. if you're using a case and it covers the space between the flash and camera, take it off and try to get a lock either before or after using crypted's AGPS fix

3. try the other guys method above me.

4. buy a map.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
forgot to mention

5. Go outside with your phone.

but yea as mentioned we need to has more details from you. How you rooted, how you flashed your rom

also you didnt restore any settings from a previous rom did you?

i was a noob over the weekend and restored wifi passwords that werent compatible and broke my wifi radio. had to wipe and reflash lmao. just making sure u didnt restore anything relating to maps or gps

We need a compatable kernel source...

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
What I read was sense 4.0 only goes to phones that are made for ics and the phones that get updated from gingerbread to ics get sense 3.6 which is pretty much the same but that has to do with hardware issues
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notsointeresting:
Yea YoungCorruption is right, the EVO 3D, Sensation etc are all getting Sense 3.6 with "as many Sense 4.0 features we can include" says HTC.

New phones will get Sense 4.0, and this is mostly because of the ImageSense chip in the new HTC phones which current phones do not have.

Honestly I will be suprised to see the shift get sense 3.6, but no matter what eventually their will be ports of Sense 4.0, Sense 3.6 etc. Hell the One V Leak just showed itself ill probably post on general later
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaghostgamer:
Kinda weird that no one has started the porting. I know there isn't a compatible kernel source out there yet. I'll be looking out for one, if I come across one I'll let you know! Thank you for helping our Shifts get sense 4.0! :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Not that weird. It's considerably more difficult, if not impossible to port a Rom without a Kernel.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaghostgamer:
I'm trying to port. Crossing fingers. Lol. Hopefully I can get it. I've tried many different sense roms but maybe this might be the one lol. I hope I can get it up and working for everyone :)

Like i said on a previus post try to get a kernal from a similar phone and there are some out there i searched
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
Well then I'm sure you also know how to compile a kernel? I mean if its as easy as your saying you could do this in your sleep no? If you can compile it then do so, that way development goes farther otherwise what you saying don't really mean anything
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayday1234:

[Motorola Droid 4] demungtoe:
I need a new phone with a physical keyboard. Was looking at the Droid4, which appears to have the best physical keyboard around, but am a bit of a newb at this stuff. My old HTC Dream (G1) is dying, and I need to figure this out sooner then later. Haha

Can it be unlocked to work on Rogers Wireless in Canada?
[Motorola Droid 4] Dave Lister:
As of right now, no.
[Motorola Droid 4] demungtoe:
Thnx. Is it a case of no unlock? Or (lack of knowledge here) no GSM support?

Also, once an android device is rooted, is there an unlock app of some kind? Or?
[Motorola Droid 4] Dave Lister:
Currently GSM support is disabled in the firmware and AFAIK it will stay that way until Verizon releases an update to enable it.
[Motorola Droid 4] blpw:
Was a bit disappointing they do not have the global services available on the Droid 4. If your looking for a device with keyboard right now you may be able to pick up a used Droid 2 Global. I know those work up there as I had one when I was in Canada last year.
[Motorola Droid 4] demungtoe:
All I can say is, damn. I can't believe how messed up the mobile phone industry is. There is a device, I want to use it, so much so that I'm willing to pay the crazy $549.99 pricetag for it. However, they've decided that I'm not allowed to use it on my network. I hope chinese clones step up their game! Heh.

I was contemplating a droid3, however don't want to spend too much since I may want the droid4 once its actually usable.

I was contemplating picking up a motorola flipout for the meantime, cheap and weird looking!

Also, this probably isn't the right place for a question about this, but I'm at a loss as to what the heck unlock codes actually are (are they issued by the carrier? or hardware manufacturer?) and why there are numerous scammy websites selling them. Can anyone recommend a site I can do some reading about this on? About why I'll probably have to pay for one? I may need to know this if I pickup a different used phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] blpw:
The SIM Unlock codes are usually given by the carrier to their paid customers. Verizon will give them out if you have had an account in good standing for 6 months if I recall right.

As for sites to get the unlock codes, I cannot make any recommendations due to I have never paid for them. I have however seen on sites like deals extreme unlocker SIMs that go between the phone and the SIM but have no idea if or how well those work.

Also if you buy a used device you may be able to get one that has been SIM unlocked already. The SIM unlock is a one time task, even if the phone gets wiped or reset it will remain SIM unlocked.
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
I still keep my G1 as a spare. My next step from that was a TouchPro2 - it comes with WindowsMobile, but I'm running XDAndroid on it. It has an excellent keyboard. I think I still like the TP2 keyboard better than my D4's keyboard.

But, the TP2 has the exact same processor as the G1, and only a tiny bit more RAM. It has a much higher screen rez (800x480) but no faster hardware, so it is noticeably slow.

If I were you I'd look at picking up a used Droid3. I was considering the D3 as my next phone from the TP2, but waited instead for the D4 to come out. As it is, I'm finding that Verizon's 4G service is cutting out all the time on me, so it's still better as a 3G phone. And I'm heading off to Europe in a couple weeks, and will have to bring my G1 or my TP2 on the trip anyway.

Curses to Qualcomm, Motorola, and Verizon. Verizon for their stupid policies and selling a phone with full-featured hardware and intentionally crippled software. Motorola for their locked firmware that prevents end-users, who have legitimately paid for and *own* the damn hardware, from installing software on it as they see fit. Qualcomm for preventing end-users (again, who have legitimately paid for and *own* the hardware) from even seeing the specifications so that they can provide their own software.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
Bell sells the Motorola XT860, I'm currently using it unlocked on Rogers without a hitch. The only issue, I'm not sure if this phone will get official ICS support... The devs are hacking away at getting all of the cool ICS features up and running though :)

You can probably find an XT860 on Kijiji, Craigslist or even eBay for a lot cheaper than the full Bell price... heck they were giving them away on 3 year contracts during xmas. You might want to check out the Droid3 forums in the meantime to get some more info on XT860
[Motorola Droid 4] highlandsun:
Fwiw, i'm in Ireland now and popped an Irish SIM into the phone. Interestingly enough, you can swap the SIM while the phone is powered on, in Airplane mode. It still didn't work, but the phone didn't complain about any SIM lock. But when I rebooted the phone, it complained then.

There are properties in /system/build.prop for enabling world-mode. I turned these on, but looking at the radio logcat, it seems that our current libril-xxx.so just doesn't support any GSM commands.

The interesting thing is that the Motorola Atrix has the same Qualcomm MDM6600 radio modem as this phone. I'm going to look for an Atrix ROM and see if I can kang some libril files from there to see if I can get any further. (Btw, I wrote the multimode RIL for the XDAndroid ROM; this sort of investigation is my specialty...)
[Motorola Droid 4] Archangel22:
I hope they hurry with this. I want this phone now. Its ridiculous that users outside USA cannot use this phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] HerrDarkShadow:
Bump, any development? :D
[Motorola Droid 4] Dave Lister:
Look at the thread titled "Droid 4 for Hong Konger" in this forum for instructions on how to unlock GSM capability. This only came about a few days ago.
[Motorola Droid 4] gtmaster303:
And it's still not stable from what I've read...

This phone is too early to jump into for me. I'll stick to my 4G Slide for now and check back on this device in a few months. Maybe development will pick up by then and they'll have the GSM thing sorted out
[Motorola Droid 4] eksobr:
Bumping this again. Any news? :D

I'm in the same situation as OP. Need to upgrade phone (from a Desire Z) and want something with physical keyboard. Droid 4 seems like the best bet.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
The phone worked fine for me on Rogers when I had it. I did a bunch of tweaking in order to get all of the functions working, but this was back in ICS. Also, no LTE is available...

But you're much better off going full touchscreen, just get used to it... I think keyboard phones are going the way of the dinosaur
[Motorola Droid 4] noleng:
OK guys this is perfect timing.. and i dont have much support for th eextra tweaking issues we have in Canada, with some of these phones and roms..

Anyhow. Heres my story.. You will like the ending!!

Ive owned a Droid 3 (XT860-BELLMOBILITY) for over a year now.. I came from the original Milestone 1 from Telus Mobililty.

4 weeks ago I had my Droid 3 stolen from me in the laundry room of my condo.. Well it was more.. forgotten by me (i think it was lost there.. for sure!!) and some lucky sole got their hands on it.. I can now use google and its cached pages of kijiji to see that it wass posted the day of.. lol ive got the kid selling other goods so its only a matter of time before i force karma upon him :)

I took a risk, but being desperate QWERTYDROID junkies like we are, and bought an American Verizon Droid 3 (XT862)

--Keep in mind that i knew nothing about unlocking, rooting, restoring, and doing the whole ROM/Bootstrap/TWRP/SAFEBOOT etc.. Im 35, been into pc's since i was 15, but never into MAC or LINUX.

At this point ive bricked these phones and the next one i speak about dozens of times, while attempting to do the practice makes perfect sort of journey to see what works, what doesnt, what sometimes does, etc.. Its always ended up being able to use the original stock rom's with no problems. (sometimes bloatwear was anoying) but not much support for our radios and etc.

So i had a bit of trouble getting this verizon droid 3 up and running as verizon themselves gives us extra work by trying to secure the load up of the activation process. Either way.. it worked, and still does, and ive gotten a few roms working on it like all SteelDroid, CM10.1, MiniMoto, and possibly a couple others. but these were the ones that can and will work, with a bit of trial and error.

shoot gotta run for a few minutes. so i wanna post this so i dont lose it all.

PART 2 of this story to follow within an hour!! But ill give you a bit of a spoiler.

I am using a Droid 4 now.. as a poster said justr before me, he had many issues to get past, well so did I, but them came the huge hurdles to get over also..

Still have my droid 3 xt862 that was wanting to sell. though,, im still not for certain ready to part with it..

be back shortly sorry about this..

next part in next post

What happened????

Sent from my Galaxy S Relay
[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
As far as I'm aware, there shouldn't be any problem getting this to run on a GSM network outside the United States. If the phone is on ICS or JB the GSM is unlocked already. If you use any of the ROM's, there's a thread in the "Droid 4 Android Development" called "Enable GSM on any ROM Patch" which should fully enable it.
[Motorola Droid 4] dlucio:
I have a Droid4, updated with android 4.1, and I can confirm you that it works with Rogers
[HTC Sensation] misteral1970:
Hi Guys,

New to flashing the Sensation, though I've done my HD2 a good few times.

Girlfriend just bought a Sensation and I'm eager to flash a decent ROM to it but failing at the first hurdle.

From what I can tell, there is no HBOOT but instead it has uboot (forgive me if this sounds ridiculous).

When I use Power+Volume Down, I do not get a white screen with options and information but instead get a black screen. There's no sign of an HBOOT version, but there is a uboot version number.

If I press Power +Volume Up I am sent to a recovery mode, but I don't think it's CWM.

If I try to use Revolutionary, it finds the phone (in normal mode, not h/u boot) and says that the phone is not supported.

Phone was bought in China but I think it is a Euro model (T Mobile branding on top of phone)

There is a possibility that a ROM has already been flashed onto it - but it sucks, and I want her to get the best from her new phone.

Also, I cannot get the CID or MID number. Tried CID getter, neither of them were on there. Tried terminal emulator, no response from getprop ro.cid or ro.mid.

So even if I wanted to upgrade the firmware, I am unsure which one to use!!

Has anyone run into this sort of situation? Using SuperTool I was able to get root access, which is at least a step in the right direction but I'm not sure how to proceed. Maybe it's already s-off and I can update the firmware and thus get hboot. But if it's not, then I run the risk of ruining it.

If you think I can go ahead and try to install new firmware, without risk of bricking or semi bricking, then I would probably be inclined to go for it.

Looking around here and also on Google, I haven't seen anyone with the same issue, so any help you can give would be very welcome!!

Many thanks in advance,

Mr Al
[HTC Sensation] pmbldc:
two possibilities: your sensation is faked or it has been relocked by the sellor which is called "baikamumaji".
[HTC Sensation] misteral1970:
Thanks for that, although it's slightly bad news!!

I'll see if we can get in touch with the seller and take it from there.
[HTC Sensation] misteral1970:
Ok, we've just spoken (online) with the sellers 'tech' guy.

I think pmbldc is right, it's a fake.

Their guy says that it can be flashed, but only using the roms on their forum.

I think it's bull. Currently feeling ripped off and unhappy, but what can I do?!?!
[HTC Sensation] Quakeworld:
Never buy any more devices from China??? Jus sayin... Sorry you got ripped off bro.. :( Sucks that that sort of thing happens...
[HTC Sensation] misteral1970:
Haha! A little tricky that one, as I live in China!

I've bought lots of electronics over here, both locally branded/produced and international. Lots of successes.

To be fair (grudgingly) this guy was considerably cheaper than everyone else. That old adage of 'if something seems too good to be true, it is' applies very well in this case.

Pretty disgusted with the whole thing, the conversation my girlfriend had with the 'tech' guy was ridiculous. Both she and I work in tech so his usual line of BS didn't work with us.

So now, having decided to be sensible and not buy the HTC One X, we're going to end up spending about the same amount of money anyway!

All we can do is learn from our mistakes, and at least now I know what to look for when buying a Sensation!!!!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrpotts:
Hi all,

I am about to do a long trip and I do not want to carry multiple AC adapters. I use the Targus Premium Laptop Charger for a few of my devices. I am wondering if Targus has an adapter for the Prime. I will write to them and ask.

What is the power adapter for the Prime? Does anyone use another adapter for the Prime?

http://www.targus.com/us/productdetail.aspx?sku=apm69us

Cheers,

Phil
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
The Prime uses a proprietary power connector that ends in a USB connector, however it needs 15v to charge properly and I don't think any 3rd parties create a power adapter that will properly charge the device. Even iPad chargers don't deliver enough current to charge the Prime at full speed and adapters made for the iPad are your best bet for finding unofficial accessories for the Prime.

In short, if you are traveling and wanna use the Prime, bring the Prime's power adapter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrpotts:
Thanks. It's small enough but when you're traveling the less you carry the better.

Cheers,

Phil
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
If you are willing to buy a 2nd one, Office Depot has TF Prime power adapters that have folding prongs which would make it a little bit smaller.

http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/768723/ASUS-Power-Adapter-For-Eee-Pad/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] foxmeister:
It should be said that you can choose to use the Asus adaptor to charge other "USB" style devices. When I travel, I take the Asus adaptor because I can use it to charge several devices.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jsjames:
Just an FYI, i bought this one last night at Office Depot and the image on the box shows a folding prong wall adapter. However, the wall adapter inside is exactly the same that came with my Prime. The prongs do not fold down.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Interesting. I purchased 3 of them off the Office Depot website, and all 3 have the folding prongs. I have heard others state that the ones they got didn't have the folding prongs just like the one that comes with the Prime.

I wonder why Asus went to the trouble of making two versions of the same thing, and then selling them in the same packaging...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
I'd love to be able to find a small power adapter to carry in my sleeve...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwazytazz:
ordered 2 a few days ago, the 2 i got wasnt folding prongs, was kind of disappointed. i guess i'll have to be careful and not snap the prongs
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Sorry, but that is very unlikely to happen.

If you don't mind taking 2-3 days to charge your Prime, you could find a small 5v USB outlet adapter that would be more portable, but nothing that will charge the Prime is a usefully short period of time is likely to be much smaller than the stock wall charger.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rorytmeadows:
Well, then sir, I guess I'll half to just update my sleeve!

I don't think it's too off topic but what are the best sleeve solutions for the dock, tablet, and, relevant to this thread, the wall charger?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I like the Swissgear Lunar 10" net book case for carrying around my Prime while docked. It is very sturdy and has a decent sized pocket that can hold the charger. There are some pics of it in the ultimate accessory guide thread.

However unless you are traveling for an extended period of time, you might not need to carry the charger with you. I get 3 or 4 days of moderate usage out of the Prime, and even on occasions where I am constantly watching movies I haven't gotten less than 6 hours of battery life out of the tablet between charges. 12 or 13 hours if the tablet is in its dock.

Unless you are gonna be away from home for a few days you may not need to bring a charger with you.
