[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Is your network T-Mobile USA? (I'm guessing yes since you've also got a MyTouch4G?)

The phone does not have the necessary radio

hardware

to receive 1700 mhz. Which is one of the bands necessary for AWS. So nothing better than Edge on T-Mobile USA.

No amount of modem flash is ever going to fix a hardware limitation.

Edit: Oh, I see from one of your posts above you're in Canada, so you're NOT on T-Mobile USA. BUT everything I said is still valid. If you're trying to get the phone to receive 1700 mhz, you won't have a lot of luck without some major phone surgery involving a hardware antenna engineer, as stated in the link provided to you by oinkylicious.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
Of the 20+ Android phones I have had, and each being rooted and ROM'd, this is the first that I have seen.

On the TPC ROM, when my phone boots, my /system & /etc are mounted by default as Read/Write rather than Read Only. I have no such problem when I flash SAUROM.

I can set it to R/O, reboot, it becomes R/W again.

I asked the question in the ROM thread but got no help. It seems that others don't have this problem.

Why is this and how do I fix it?

Thanks.

Edit: The mount point is /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 for /system and /etc. There are some remount commands in a file located in init.d. Could that be the cause?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
I'm no dev, but have you looked at the superuser logs to see what app might be changing r/rw modes? You say when you reboot it changes back. So that makes me think an app you have auto starting is mounting the system rw to make a change and failing to mount back to R.

Go in SuperUser.. clear the logs, set it to R, make note that it saved that change in the log using whatever program you use it to set with... Reboot, check Superuser logs to see what gained root and changed it back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
Thanks for the suggestion. I removed all the apps that requested SU on boot, but the ROM still had /system as R/W. I don't think it's an app doing it.

Is there a way for me to add something into a boot script to set it as R/O?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
I'm still trying to track down this problem.

I noticed that /etc also mounts as R/W by default. I see that both /system and /etc share the same mount point: /dev/block/mmcblk0p24.

I look in init.d and found one file which contained these lines:

#mount fs for faster IO speeds

mount -o remount,nodev,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /system

mount -o remount,noauto_da_alloc,nodev,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /data

mount -o remount,noauto_da_alloc /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 /cache

Would the first line cause this?

Is there something I can add to init.d to re-mount as R/O?

I'm still curious as to what is causing this. Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
Through trial and error, I found this command works to set /system and /etc to RO:

mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 /system

I added it to init.d, and it works. Once the phone completes the boot, those directories are RO. It's just a patch.

But nevermind that--I am still very interested in the "why" and if there is some other script/boot command somewhere that is causing this.

I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks.

It is true that asus will release a trasformer prime with the 3g module? i have read the news here Link but i'm not sure that this is true.

If this isn't true can you reccomend to me another good android tablet?

MOD EDIT: REMOVED EXTERNAL LINK

Looking for a powerful laptop within the £450 range. Any suggestions? :D
[General Questions and Answers] Guillem.Rins:
I think so...but

I think that you'd better take a look over several laptop brands such as ASUS or HP, from what i know those two are very reliable and I figure that for such a price you will get a good one of them. Try comparing prices over the net, you will see that for 400 you'd find a laptop worth buying. :D
[General Questions and Answers] bArDBQ:
Newegg

I usually get great deals (500$ and less) on laptop computers from Newegg but I don't know if they ship to UK.

In the UK, eBuyer, Overclockers UK, Dabs, KustomPCS, LinITX and MicroDirect seems to have pretty decent prices.

Refurbished laptop computers has always been a good investment for me... Never had any problem.

Just search on Google to get their URLs.

Hope it helps!
[General Questions and Answers] roy2310:
ASUS usually give the same specs but with the cheaper price than other brands......
[General Questions and Answers] *se-nsei.:
Thanks will look into these. I just need something that I can really use day in day out really, and will be powerful for software programming/compiling etc.

ASUS I've noticed are actually cheaper with same specs - but is quality and power the same in ASUS laptops?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Very nice, thanks for posting. This looks like a fun DIY to take on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Video added.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
New material added for the 2.0 version.

-Thinner, easier to work plastic

-Complete 3 piece set up (holster, swivel, mount)

-More pics

Feedback is appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlkSquad:
That's one way to do it. :thumbsup:

Consider making the USB hidden and in the mount so it goes in the port when you dock the phone? That's pretty much the only thing I'd change.

BTW what was the total price for the three pieces? IYDMMA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Already working on that:

I have the cable on hand, but salvaged the "dock" guts from my SGS Vibrant desk dock. Havnt decided which to use. the 90 degree is one hell of a snug cable and may be difficult to get phone to drop right onto it.

Total Price is almost nothing if you have tools.

$10 Kydex

$6 swivel

You have enough kydex in that $10 piece to make two holsters and clips. Very cheap project.

Please stop with the ICS threads already. Only open threads that are useful just becasuse you think it is dosent mean it is. Its just clutter.

I think they made it ICS compatible to get ready for the HTC phones coming with ICS...just my thought though...

That's my suspicion too. I don't think it's an indicator of how soon the official update is coming. In any case, it's always been coming "soon" anyway.:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gwingzero:
As much as I'd like to wish it means an offical port might be on the way...meh Samsung (or T-Mobile for that matter) isn't doing much for me to re-enforce that. :(

Post a funny conclusion to the sentence.

- You know you're rooted when you spend more time on the XDA forums than with your family.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jjc5891:
My built in task killer is being super aggressive recently. When I first had the phone, pressing the "Clear RAM" closed around 5-10 applications and left me with ~350-400MB of used RAM. I installed system tuner pro (which is now uninstalled), but ever since I had installed it, my task killer is now closing 20+ applications, and my used RAM is getting down to 200-250MB. I can never get it down to "0 applications closed" anymore and the lowest I got was "3 applications closed" over and over again.

Normally, I wouldn't really care so much, but what I'm getting annoyed with is that doing that seems to disable NoLED and I suspect it's messing with SetCPU. SetCPU shows 702/192 on the widget, which is what I had it set to, but if I open SetCPU, I see 1836/192 at the top, but the scrollers are still 702/192. Anyone know what the heck is going on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] antoniouslj:

My problem is that the stock task manger kills my alarm clock & battery widget. Which I really need.... :(

Ever since I have swtiched to Advanced Task Manger and I honestly love it over the stock one. I even set it to auto kill when I turn off the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
I read the OP. My statement stands. Auto, built-in, or third party, task killers are more harm than good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
And yet still remain necessary for malfunctioning apps or those that stay running even when you back out of them and consume way too many resources, harming your battery life. C:Geo is my example. It doesn't always shut down properly and likes to drain my battery when I'm not using it unless I force quit it.

Another good example: Voxer likes to get "stuck" almost constantly. Only way to fix it is by force quitting and starting it up again.

While I agree that users shutting down apps constantly with a task manager to clear RAM does more harm than good, they still have their purpose and are a handy thing to have on any phone OS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FlukiestEmperor:
So the answer to OP is then to stop hitting the "Clear Ram" button.

Honestly, What is the point of a phone having this much ram, if you aren't going to let apps use it?

When you hit the home button, what android does is save the current state of that app and lays it to rest in the ram. When you go back to that app, it will pull it from the ram and bring it back from that state.

The app is not running in the background unless it's intended too.

So johnus is right. If an app gets stuck, or it is using your cpu and there is no real way to close it, that's what an app killer is really meant for.

Case closed now?
