[Optimus One, P500, V General] SafeforWork:
Not exactly where to post this, but my picture mms is not working on a flashed phone on Virgin Mobile. I am using a HTC Shift and originally had the LG Optimus V. The LG Optimus V was flashed to CM7 a while ago and just found out from someone else that has the Optimus V, on stock, does not have any issues with picture mms. Since my LG Optimus V does not have the stock APN, can someone please provide their setting information? I have tried many and different settings that I found, but none seems to work. Basically regular text works, but when I send a picture mms it just stays at "sending" for a while then it says "general network error." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] SafeforWork:
Actually.. this could be the mms.apk on cm7, which looks like there's no way around it. Any picture text apps anyone can recommend? Tried gosms pro and hancent, but still a no go. Any mms apps that use another number or something to that extent?

Everyone, we need a team project. I need a bug list for FD02. Can you all please list specific problems that you are having with the rom? Please refrain from listing problems with apps unless the app is a stock part of OS(ie caledar, contacts, music app, you get the point).

For example, if you are having issue with bluetooth please be specific on what the issue is, what hardware you are using, and how to recreate the problem.

If you have a problem that cannot be recreated it will be hard to get fixed. Thanks. You really will be helping.

All bugs need to be confirmed by at least two members so if we could help each other by testing bugs thay would be great.

And can we please refrain from immature useless post. Your post will be deleted and there is a chance you might get a nice vacation. There is a thread already set up for rants.

sorry kc, ide help.. but I don't have the balls to go to ics... afraid of me being stupid and bricking, lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthejoker20:
1 Auto Launch apps when you plug the phone into a DOCK. You can't turn it off. It forces you to pick one.

SO ANNOYING.

2 THE MODEM SUCKs. There is SO much work that needs to be done there. All the software development for ICS should be halted until they get the modem squared away.

THEY NEED TO BEEF UP THE VOLTAGE TO THE CORE AND TO THE RADIO. worry about battery life later, just get it to work first. Most of us can't even get a wifi signal standing 10 feet from a router, or a cell signal.

3 CUT and PASTE Can't cut the entire sentence. It seems that the first letter of every sentence is unselectable as you can't move the carrier over far enough to select it. It seems the touch screen does not sense to the entire edge of the screen. I think the touch screen does not sense that far off the screen, so you can't select the first part of any sentence, if it is all the way over to the edge of the screen. Maybe touch screen or resolution? This happend in portrait and landscape modes both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gordon Ramsay:
Wireless reception for me is no where near as bad as you make it out to be. Not as good as a laptop but that's to be expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I have 2 issues.

One is sometimes when I am typing in the browser when I place the curser in the text field it randomly adds a word. Does anyone know what i am talking about or how to recreate it?

The other is my stereo bluetooth Motorola headphones will randomly pause music without me using my phone or pushing any buttons. I was using the treadmill and it just would pause out of no where.

I am not sure if i was using the stock music player or the Play one. Anyone else experience this issue either?

And can you please refrain from dumb useless post. We are actually trying to get something accomplished.

The scrolling Is still super twitchy, I keep thinking it won't bother me but after a while it starts to drive me nuts...

Sometimes there is a delay when opening things or rotating the screen.

Chrome beta still crashes and is unusable...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vgamer4550:
Your Bluetooth issue is not just you kc..... I have had similar issue forever. I dont think it's a phone or even a Samsung issue, I think its an Android issue.

I've been aggrivatingly dealing with that same problem even when I had my original Evo 4G.

What I have been able to narrow it down to is I get the pauses if I get a text, email, voicemessage, anything that causes the system to tweak or chirp. I've had it happen when switching radio/cell towers. Bluetooth, wired head phones, speakerphone, it don't matter.

It will happen during any audio playback, streaming, or stored. I keep hoping they will fix this annoying bug but until they do I just keep hitting play.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ks2332:
Jeez sorry
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lostcausenjtown:
I will venture to say that this bluetooth problem is specific to this phone. I never had problems like this with my EVO. All of these problems started to show up with ICS. The were around when I was using GB but it was not as prevalent. The issue that I have is once it connects, it does not want to reconnect unless I power cycle bluetooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthejoker20:
I don't care.

And it is THAT bad.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kartoon33:
Don't know if it's just me but I get that stupid acore force close when using the stock contacts app. Also when scrolling through my contacts under the dialer section.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dcowboys2184:
i mean honestly these issues are in most sammie devices .. sad that modem/radio/gps issues haven't been completely fixed by now .. some scroll touchscreen lag .. those the same issues since the OGEpic ... i went to the photon and radio is great but pentile sucks so i came back to sammi thinking these small annoyances has been taken care of .. boy i was wrong .. maybe the devs should work for samsung just saying!! ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wartouched:
For anyone having issues with these builds, I highly suggest completely formatting your phone. This includes your internal storage. I kept having many of the issues listed above until i finally cleared every thing off my phone. Now every thing runs flawlessly, including chrome.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Ok.. only issue ive been having is the modem.. cell signal gives full signal out and about and has no issues with calls.. however, it says 3g but when i try to load something it always drops to 1x.. and when it says 3g it runs at 1x speeds or doesnt work at all.. when using roam control it runs way better.. my dl speed hasnt been over .5mbps.. and up speed gets over 1mbps where i have full reception in different parts of town
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rkstoops:
Only bugs I've noticed are:

Apps sometimes lag when tapping the icon to open.

Bluetooth was flawless for me on stock GB. Works fine on FD02 but my Kensington car kit has minor issues. Mainly, the remote will only control Google Play Music and won't play or pause other apps like PocketCasts or radio apps. It controlled those on GB. Minor but I miss it.

Otherwise, so far so good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gordon Ramsay:
Nope.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gordon Ramsay:
Welcome to the now network. In other words... its not just us e4gt users

Can anyone elaborate on the bluetooth bug some more?

And are than any other issues other than signal/modem/bandwidth problems?

“Extensions come to Opera Mobile”

So I decided to do a search today to see if there was a way to enable extensions on Opera Mobile. In a stroke of luck, I just happened to find a post made today in the Opera dev site that has a link to a build of Opera Mobile 12 with support for extensions.

It has been working well on my Motorola Xoom 4G.

Link to apk:

http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=34585&sub=true&nothanks=yes&location=360

Link to the article:

http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/extensions-opera-mobile-labs/

Tips:

To transfer and back up your Opera bookmarks without the need of Opera Link:

Requirements: Must be rooted!

Transfer Bookmarks from Opera Mobile 12 to Opera Mobile 12 w/Extension:

Use Rootexplorer to copy the “all” file from “/data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/etc/2/” to “/data/data/com.opera.browser.extensions/opera/etc/2/”

Backup Bookmarks from Opera Mobile 12 or Opera Mobile 12 w/Extension:

Use Rootexplorer to copy the “all” file from “/data/data/com.opera.browser/opera/etc/2/” or “/data/data/com.opera.browser.extensions/opera/etc/2/” to a desired location on you Sd Card of eternal storage.

Extra:

Here is a list of extensions that I have installed to improve my browsing experience.

Ghostery: block scripts from companies that you don't trust, delete local shared objects, and even block images and iframes.

WOT: shows you which websites people trust for safe surfing, shopping and searching on the web.

NoAds: Extension blocks external scripts, specific global script functions and variables, elements of a page

ContentBlockHelper (English): block any elements by CSS selector rules and more automatically.

SaveFrom.net helper: Helps you to download files.

Further Customization:

(Ads Blocking section is not needed if you use the ContentBlockHelper Extention)

Fantastic! Installed and i added adblock, and it works perfectly! Thanks :-D
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Really easy to add add-ons. Tap the add-on shortcut on the startpage/shortcuts, find an add-on and click install :) Superb find OP!
[Android Apps and Games] Febby:
Is there any way to hide the extension icons under the URL bar? They tend to show there for me.. kinda annoying haha! thanks for this.
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
I am glad can help a fellow man on the Mean Green Robotic Team!

Not without disabling or uninstalling them for now. I am using it on a tablet so the icons appear to the left of the search box. Don't they disappear with the URL when you scroll down a bit on a phone?

[Android Apps and Games] krankdroid:
Wow.. This almost makes me switch from stock/Dolphin..

I need to have an extension with icon to get me to the startpage with my bookmark quick link list. Anyone knows if there is such an extension?

I know its sort of a luxury problem. But i dont want to hit "menu" "startpage" just to get to my startpage..

Also.. Is there any fiddling besides just installing the adblock noads extension? For me the extension does nothing..
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
Which adblock did you install? Try to go to "Extensions" --> "Adblock" and check the settings. I use "Opera AdBlock". (This one)
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
I believe NoAds is better for opera. Ad block is great on fire fox but I believe I read that it didn't port over well to opera or chrome.

4G Xoom + Team EOS ICS nightlies = WIN
[Android Apps and Games] LordManhattan:
That might be, but it works without any problems here. BUT it doesn't hurt to try something new, so i'll take a look at NoAds. You win! :p

Edit: It works but what the hell is up with the gigantic icon under the adressbar? NO BUENO!

Edit2: Doh! scratch that! I didn't know that the bar under the adressbar is the add-on bar for installed add-ons. Silly me indeed!

Edit3: LOL, Opera is using 200MB RAM with two add-ons installed. Well, i guess this is how it'll be from now on. I have plenty of RAM to waste!
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Mine was running over 200mb after the first few hours, but now it seems to be consistently under 100mb and I've got about five add ons.

LOL yeah, but the more RAM you have available, the more RAM apps will use. Try this build yourself and see how much it uses.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwald:
Last week I flew from the U.S. to Germany for a month-long business visit. I brought my Nexus S 4G (Bugless Pete's ICS ROM/kernal) knowing that I wouldn't be able to use the phone, but figured I'd still be able to get wireless and GPS.

The GPS worked fine in the U.S. but has been terrible here. I was able to get a single lock on my location the first day, but ever since have been unable to get anything. I also have an HTC Flyer which doesn't have any problems with GPS, so it's not the signal.

Is there any reason why the NS4G specifically would have poor GPS in Europe? Any tweaks that can be made?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
I wonder if Hitler had something to do with it:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimmir:
I found some stuff that might help. One app is FasterGPS. It works by changing your region for a faster lock, so it should help...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5mYXN0ZXJncHMiXQ

Another app I use is QBANIN GPSfix, which I activate after turning GPS location on but before actually using the Navigation or Maps app.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superm1:
In the US it's able to use wifi and cell tower A-GPS triangulation data to help get the initial location determined. When that data is factored in, the lock is a lot easier to get.

If you can happen to hop on a wifi network out there, I bet you'll be able to get a lock pretty quickly too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fwald:
Thanks, I'll give those a shot.

I think you're absolutely right. When I did get the lock, I was on wifi.

And now that I think about it some more, Google Maps and Navigation must need an active data link to work, right? The map info isn't stored locally.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superm1:
There is a lab setting that lets you cache map tiles for like 10 mi square areas I think. I've never actually tried it. I expect it will just get you map information but not actually get you directions and navigation working though. Those I think will require an active data link.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rimmir:
Yeah I've tried it, it's pretty useful. You can download the maps via WiFi and it'll save them to your phone
[HTC One X] GGerk:
Sorry for this stupid question, but if I purchase the htc one x outright, which server providers can I use in the U.S. and how do I go about it?

Thanks and be gentle :o
[HTC One X] mayad79:
At&t new number or port without a contract, but you must goto a corporate owned store. Do not tell them you have a pda and sign up for the 15 dollar data plan or 30 dollar messaging and data unlimited. You can do it over the phone but they will ship you a sin card .

Peace
[HTC One X] GGerk:
so I couldnt go to verizon or us cellular? Also, could I wouldn't be able to use my existing phone number, just go into the corporate store with the phone and basically tell them I want to sign up with them? Just want to make sure I have this understood before I do this. This isnt illegal is it?

Thanks again
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
The One X international unlocked is only for certain GSM frequencies. Well, mainly only AT&T right now in the US.

Verizon uses CDMA and I think US Cellular does too. So it wouldn't be compatible at all and you'd have a brick on your hands.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
AT&T, Red Pocket, or Straight Talk.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
You can't brick your phone trying to use it on Verizon. It isn't even possible to try
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
No it isn't illegal.

Sorry for the triple post I guess it doesn't combine them all on the XDA app.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
I'm not saying it will brick it.....i'm saying he has a brick on his hands.

As in, you can use it like a personal media player....but not an actual smartphone with no service/data.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Sorry haha bad day, read it wrong ;)
[HTC One X] hello00:
you can use it with tmobile if you are lucky enough to live in an area with the 1900mhz band

Or if you're happy to live with Edge data only.

I am looking for the most secure ROM for the Droid Incredible. Anyone have any ideas ? I hear the NSA and military have their own custom ROMS :P
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Probably an ICS ROM which by default has data encryption. Not sure how well it's implemented yet since it's still a wip for the inc.

http://m.cnet.com/Article.rbml?nid=20124010&test=20124010&bid=12
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
CM9 (also ICS) will be up there in security as it has an option to disable root (in fact, root and adb shell are disabled by default for security). It's not official but someone's got a kang on the development pages.

It could be considered the most secure due to data encryption plus root being off by default which is a major security improvement.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autre_pensee:
tiny, I am clueless when it comes to rooted or not.

I am using a CM9 by drk with incredikernel2 by, you i think :P.

Am I rooted by default with this config? Until reading this post, I would have assumed so....

Also, does being rooted really increase greatly the risk of getting phone data hacked?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
By default, yes you're rooted. Being rooted increases your chance of being hacked if you hand out root access to every app that asks and don't look into it. If an app has root access, it has full access to your phone. Now if said app was malicious.... You just have to be smart about which apps get root or not.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autre_pensee:
Can you easily, and is there any drawback to, remove rooting after flashing a new rom?

I usually dont give super user access to any app other than file explorers.... but if there is a way to be more careful by default, I might just take it. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomn:
at it's core "root" is just the presence of a executable file called "su" in the /system/xbin directory that has administrative permissions (i.e. those of the linux/unix "root" user) and can be used by non-system user apps to temporarily gain administrative rights. Remove that file and you remove root.

Personally I don't think it's worth worrying about though
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Actually in CM9 there is an option to disable root and adb (maybe adb root), under development->Root. There is disabled, apps, adb, apps+adb. Give that a try.

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

Another way is to remove set UID and set GUID permissions from the su binary (executable). That's why I love android and linux, multiple ways to do the same thing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomn:
good point, I forgot about that cool new CM feature!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Easiest way to temp remove root? There is a relatively new su management app (Superuser replacement) called SuperSU by Chainfire. His app has a temp disable (and re enable) root option which works. Some people have bugs (as every device/app has bugs with some people), but it works flawlessly for me so far.

Does your device boot up?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] PeteSeiler2010:
Since your computer can see it in apx mode, I would try flashing the stock rom package through apx mode. You can find it about halfway down the development thread page.

That is of course you have tried everything else that you want to try.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
Possibly someone else knows a better way, but I honestly did it by using the autoflash to EL29 through Odin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101.

I would then boot up, get the GPS lock and power off while in Maps and locked. Then flashed the CWM from the CM9 original post tar through odin, and flashed CM9 from there.

Bulky, painful process that upped the flash count again, but got it to work for me.

I have a fast and accurate fix by running two apps one time. Run Faster Fix, then run GPS Fix. My gps locks before my map is even done loading now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
I am sure there will be once we get out of alpha phase and get source code for a working custom ics recovery. You just have to remember that our devs are working with very very limited source code right now so it limits what they can do.

For what they have to work with they are doing an amazing job though.
