Hi all, I am an Android noob, well soon to be. I have been a faithful WinMo/HTC geek, but sorely disappointed with Microsoft. I am with Big Red and moving multiple lines to another carrier is not really an option. For whatever reason, Verizon has better coverage in the mountainous area I live in. I have done alot of comparing of the 4 leading phones (GNex, Max Razr, Rezound, and Spectrum.) Gnex is off the list as I need an sd, and saw several reports of screen problems. I'm not fond of the idea that the battry cant be removed from the Razr and really dont like the screen. I noticed pix on browser when all others were smooth. Not to mention extended batts for all other phones are only $50 and the bump for razr to max is $100. Rezound and Spectrum are close in some specs, but the Spectrum's screen is killer, plus has the ICS 3 key so even if LG drags out the update, at least the hardware will match the OS. Most reviews I've seen downed the Spectrum for its feel in hand and slow Opt 2.0 UI. I case my phones so feel in hand issues don't apply and with launcher options out there, lag can be bypassed. So here after this rambling mess is my question, considering the complaints of this phone are IMHO "fixable" and the (if I understand correctly) boot is unlocked out of the box, why is this phone not pulling more of a following or seeing more support?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iowahc:
Hy community!

I am currently thinking of buying a Thinkpad.

My question is: Is it possible to install Whatsapp (current version) on thinkpad and run it without problems?

I tried it on my current Acer Iconia A500, but the applications says "device not recognized...". Is it because the Iconia has no SIM installed?

When I get a Thinkpad with SIM card will it work? Do I have to do it with the Titanium Backup method?

Best regards
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
I checked in the Play store:

The WhatsApp Messenger app states it is incompatible with the Thinkpad Tablet in both "tablet WIFI" and "tablet CELL" versions but it WILL work with my CM9 installation "Unknown Full CM9 on ThinkPad Tablet".
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iowahc:
But when I flash CM9 to the Thinkpad I am loosing my warranty. Is this correct?

Is there an other way (with temporary root or so) to accomplish this problem?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] slpin:
you dont lose your warranty if your flash cm9 on it

if you send it in for repair or you mess it up, they just put a new board on it...
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iowahc:
So, permanent Rooting the device is no warranty loss?

cool thing :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] slpin:
yeah they just replace the board

however, id like to note that they do a pretty bad and sloppy job on it.

after i receive my tablet, the lines werent route as good as factory, they didnt use enough glue to glue the antenna in place, there were finger prints all over the the copper backing, it is missing some metal sheilds etc, the stick on copper werent stick or smoothed out at all.... etc etc
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Temetka:
What depot did you send yours too? I have sent in many Thinkpads over the years and they have always come back pristine and looking great. Heck for the last 10 years all I have owned has either been Apple or IBM/Lenovo laptops. The IBM/Lenovo business class machines in particular the X and T series have never let me down.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Iowahc:
Well it sounds great. One question persists. Do I have to use CM9 or will ANY rooted ROM do?

What criteria is responsible for Whatsapp to run?

Do I still have to backup on Phone and repair on Tablet with Titanium Backup?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] slpin:
hello

The center I sent it to was in Memphis, TN.

When I received my tablet - I was glad they replaced the screen (which had dust on it), and the power button (which broke), disappointed they replace my board (which was rooted),

Then I noticed the problem with the back- the Lenovo and ThinkPad sticker peeling off because they tried reusing it since they replace the backing plate (I end up going to ebay and buying two new stickers to correct their mistake, as lenovo support didnt even know those were stickers and thought they were one piece molded on the case)

Then I opened my tablet to install my Gobi 3000 card back in and I noticed a number of things wrong - including; Grounding strap for inverter not securely installed (I have since grounded it manually with a 12 gauge wire), LCD Cable was horribly ripped (I do not have a spare so I went electrical tape on it to fix their mistake), finger prints all over the copper backing, antennas not securely mounted and peeling off - grounding tape for the antenna peeling off - and all covered with fingerprints. The Antenna wires were also routed wrong so it would not reach my gobi card (I end up removing the board and rerouting the lines then installing my board again). I also notice all the metallic padding around the antenna and batteries were gone!

They replaced my cable that goes from the board to the power board with a weird cheap looking replacement. the battery was also not the one I had on when I sent my tablet in (i put a mark on it before I sent my tablet in)

The sticker for the serial number was put on pretty ****ty, so I end up removing it.

I also notice it was factory protocol to replace the screws when it was removed.... none of the screws were removed and they were all pretty stripped looking...

I just felt they could have done a slightly better job doing it... or if that is a problem, I would be more than happy to replace the parts my self...

when I called in because my gobi card failed, i had the option of sending it in to have them replace it or have them send me the card to replace it myself

I chose to replace it myself and that was when I found all these flaws in the repair...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ma70ent:
Hello everyone...I'm planning on trying to develop a gingerbread kernel for AOSP because we don't really have support anymore and everyone has moved onto developing for ICS (not that this is a bad thing). I figure in my spare time I might as well try to learn and develop for our phone. Let me start by saying I was never really into phones/smartphones/rooting, or software development, but I've always been fascinated by Linux in general. I've played around using a number of Linux distros, but I've never really done anything intensive with them (modified their kernels, etc.) but I am vaguely familiar with terminal usage.

Anyways that was just my introduction. I've been running an ICS kernel on my AOSP GB system (specs/stuff in my signature) and while most advised against it, I find it to run pretty well. I'm not sure why it seems to run so well on my phone, but it's basically solved most of my problems (or at least it appears to have done that), but I know the kernel isn't "optimized" for my phone. Some major things people have said are that the ramdisking operations/system is totally different when comparing ICS and GB. This kernel that I'm using is running pretty well, even knowing this fact. What I was wondering is if I could basically get the ICS kernel, then "merge it" with a GB kernel's parameters that pertain to the ramdisk/other major options of GB. That would probably make it better. Also, people stated that multitouch issues for the DINC2 occured on Aeroevan's 0.8 kernel, but not on the 0.7 kernel. This was the changelog stated by aeroevan:

So maybe this "small touchscreen driver update" is the thing that caused it, but I'm assuming many other kernels applied this update too? Maybe there is a way to roll back to whatever was in 0.7 in this sense to get rid of the multitouch bug that plagues some people.

I have a pretty powerful laptop, so development shouldn't be too bad. I plan on running Ubuntu 11.10 (or whatever people find suitable these days) in a Virtual Machine and I plan on compiling stuff from there. I am not claiming I know everything or that these things are correct....I am simply just throwing out some brainstorming to get some ideas out there. I know GB is "old", but I (and some others as well) enjoy it's stability and that it generally functions perfectly. Maybe this thread will get a look from popular devs, or maybe it'll get a look from people who just know this stuff. Thanks for reading, and sorry for the length of the post.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CondemnedSoul:
Looking forward to your progress on this. :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
It would be nice to have another kernal for AOSP other than aero.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Your help in developing AOSP kernels would be fantastic.

Thanks given. Because I am hard of hearing I cannot use any of the kernels (even Evan's) and have to stick to Sense :(
[Venue Pro General] Tdeljr:
I recently purchased a venue pro off of amazon (love it so far), my question is when I dialed ##634# and went into phone info it says that the security is:

unlock/*****us_ TMOU_simloc does this mean that the phone is unlocked and able to side load apps, update etc. Thanks for the help.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
As far as I understand and know, it means that you can use the phone on any network. If it was locked then you could use it only on TMO US but as it says unlock it means you can insert any SIM of any network (provided the bands are supported). It does not mean you can sideload apps etc.

If it doesn't work then I'd recommend reporting the phone as stolen so you can claim a new one on insurance.

Use "Plan B" its a free app that installs remotely on your phone by signing in into your google play account. Good luck, let us know how everything works out

hope you find it
[General Questions and Answers] nivlazenaby:
How about using Samsung push?
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
I tried Plan B, just out of curiosity, and found that it installed but did not run. You can't make an app that automatically runs when it's installed. That would be a massive security violation. I don't even know if it can be installed as a service so that it runs when your phone reboots - I don't think it can.

paintball23456 above is the only person I've ever seen say it works. It certainly didn't for me.
[General Questions and Answers] paintball23456:
no lies my sgs got stolen and this was recommended from a friend and if you install any android apps from the web they take way to long to install

[General Questions and Answers] 85gallon:
It worked for me.

Somewhere is a thread about it. I was just testing it while it was in my living room. I went into my office and pushed it to the phone. It installed and ran. Then sent me emails to my gmail address with the location of the phone.
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
I read a reply in a thread which explained that the current ICS leak runs the CPU full speed, instead of scaling it, whenever the screen is on. This was the member's explanation for why some people notice their phones running hotter than on GB.

Is this true? And to the extent that it is true, is it true of the preceding leaks as well? I guess what I'm wondering is whether this is something that HTC might be hoping to resolve before going live with an OTA.
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
Your guess is as good as mine and I too read that same reply. I've been trying to figure this out since the leak came out. Some people aren't having any problems and some people are having all sorts of problems. I haven't been in the Rezound thread long but I'm not new to flashing and I've been going back on forth on doing the leak or waiting for either the source for kernel help or the official ota. I was thinking maybe it was "noob" mistakes but from alot of the posts it seems that experienced flashers are having problems as well. Scott has a kernel thread in the Dev section if you wish to follow that, if you aren't already. I know that all phones are created equal and there are some built better than others. So far I've been pretty fortunate in my phones. I've never had to take a phone in for repair that I didn't eff up myself...;). Obviously, I'd like to think by the time we get the official ota all things will be resolved but you never know. When I had my Evo 3D it took the latest ota to solve alot of battery issues that we had. I know I don't answer your question but I too have similar ones myself. Be well.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
The current leak/kernel that is having problems is part of a release candidate, we can only hope HTC resolves it before the update is finalized. I wouldn't be surprised if another leak/release candidate shows up in the near future, each one has fixed more issues found in the earlier leaks.
[HTC Rezound] cpurick:
jjwalter--

If I was in your shoes I would not take the leak. My phone is worse than bricked.

I can put the .11 GB kernel back on the phone with my old software, but the WIFI doesn't seem to work with the ICS radio firmware, and the thing's running hotter than ever.

I had no heat or battery life issues on the current GB -- all my problems began when I flashed the .22 leak. And as long as I'm stuck with these radios I don't think they'll get better. Your mileage may vary, but if it was up to me I wouldn't get in that car again.
[HTC Rezound] Afro Samurai:
Thanks for the heads up. From past flashing experience I have never seen a leak with a radio and firmware update. It's usually just a rom. With a leak this close I'm sure the ota isn't too far off and I'll just keep hanging around and root and flash once that drops. Thanks again.
[HTC Rezound] bwthor20:
I know if I were HTC/Verizon/ATT/Motorola... I'd be leaking any new builds right here on XDA. You couldn't find a better group of knowledgeable testers anywhere. In my mind, these leaks are on purpose, and I'd also guess there will be future releases that fix the issues the group here has found.
[HTC Rezound] rickyjohn:
im running the latest leaked version and i have no heat problems whatsoever. i play hd games, on youtube for hours, etc...hottest its gotten was 120 degrees thats it. im running stock. as far as im concerned GB is dead to me :D
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
My phone doesn't get hot playing games on the leak, but you put that mofo to stream some music and it about burns through my pants in class, and then half my extended battery is gone. It is definately due to the scaling issue
[HTC Rezound] sknight13602:
Yea I see a lot of people saying they have heat and reboot issue but they are the same people asking newb questions if ya wipe everything, check the md5, flash the ruu, and do it right you will not have problems 99% of the time. Don't be afraid to update just because a couple user experience problems its not like some guy in his mom's basement made this leak its a leak from google got out god knows how but still built with their algorithm, software, and knowledgeable engineers. I would update sense 3.6 is way better than 3.5 and ics has a lot more backup options and a better user experience. I recommend you do just make sure to do a backup before you do so you can revert back if need be.
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
What are the across the board issues with ics at the moment on the rezound? I'm thinking about coming from the bionic/thunderbolt, no Ril and hardware acceleration, etc.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
There aren't any for me. Runs perfectly on my phone. Everything works the way it should.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] variant0:
Hey guys,

just to check your feedback,

What is the recovery thats has generally been giving best results flashing the latest roms?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one?

I've been using 5.2.0.7, the only problem i had so far, its to have to restart recovery to mount usb.

What about you guys?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Not too much difference. The v5.5.0.4 is made on the ics branch, and the v5.0.2.7 is on the gingerbread branch. The full changelog is at GitHub. The ICS branch is getting updated too, I will release new recovery once they have the touch recovery source uploaded to GitHub, to avoid corruption and koush (the developer of CWM) doesn't seem to update version numbers with each upload.

A disadvantage on v5.5.0.4 is that Synaptics virtual keys does not work, but it's more of a CWM problem than mine. Read why here.

Some users reported that SD card does not mount and they need to restart. That is a kernel problem and is probably (can't test) fixed on my kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] uumeshh:
I have an Atmel screen. Luckily not facing any problems with 5.5.0.4

Blefish is it possible to restore a backup taken from a older version of CWM using a newer version ?

Dude, you have just unlocked the boot loader.

HTC dev unlock process will not give you S-off, also can cause some warranty issues (don't be disheartened)

Now you need to download a custom recovery and flash it via fastboot.

I would recommend 4ext touch.

Then flash any custom ROM. The guide should have all the details.

I've done that, i used 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip and thats ok. I cleared caches, Changed from 3EXT to 4EXT and then installed REAPER 2.2 then used update 2.2.1 over the top.

So i have 4EXT Recovery installed! I installed the ROM (off SDCARD) with this program and when i reboot it goes into a Boot Loop graphic and stays there.

4EXT Recovery Touch is just a touchscreen version of the one i used no?

My MIUI ROM works OK under 2.00.0002 should expect problems if it it runs under an earlier version ?
