[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sTr3utr:
Hi DataHawg,

Thank you for the info. I found out that the modem is updated independently of the ROM. I am planning to do a format_all and re-install with latest modem, hopefully that will be more stable.

Another strange thing happened: I went to sleep with phone battery at 46% and woke up today with a dead phone. I saw that battery was drained somehow. I don't leave apps/services running except for a few (dropbox, box.net, facebook, twitter).

I will report how the new upgrade goes.

Thank you again, you guys are doing a helluva job here!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sTr3utr:
Today I read in the original Calkulin thread that modems used in ICS all have trouble with 4G data reboots, so I guess it's a known issue.

But now I'm having another issue with HTC_IME mod crashing. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

EDIT: Found the problem to be text prediction. I turned it off in the HTC_IME mod settings and all works fine now, no crashes so far. Thank you everyone!

For the past few weeks Foursquare does not publish my checked in location on any of the facebook apps (friendcaster or facebook for android) even thought I have it set to do so. The only way I can get it to show up in Facebook is to check in, go back to Foursquare select where I checked in and then share it, this is annoying. But it does show up on my tiwtter account which then shows up on Facebook but I don't want it to do that. Has anyone else had this issue? I have contacted Foursquare and I am waiting for a reply.

Hi,

I'm working in an HTC Sensation of a friend where has been installed a stock rom on a branded phone.

The phone boots the operating system and reboots when the home screen apperas.

I think it resets when the OS loads the gsm module and some kind of protection detects the phone is running a stock rom instead the branded one.

How can I prevent the phone from automatically start this service ?

I mean to do this without be able to run adb, I hope to get this by removing some files from the installation zip file.

What can I do ?

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire General] Forrest22:
Hi,

I'm trying to get Droidwall working on my Kindle Fire - it has the 6.3 update and I used the Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.5 to root and install Google apps. I've got GMail, Google Play and GTalk all working fine. However, I'd like to prevent any future Amazon OTA updates so I'm trying to block access with Droidwall. I've installed it but when I enable the firewall it says "could not acquire root access ... error: permission denied".

I can use "adb shell" and then run the "su" command so it all appears to be working - why doesn't Droidwall work?

Please excuse me if this is the wrong place to ask the question, or if I've missed something obvious. But I've searched around and can't find any answers to this.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks,

Rob

[Kindle Fire General] Forrest22:
Thanks - I'll try that out. I'd still like to know why Droidwall doesn't work, though. It implies that rooting the kindle didn't work properly. I checked the permissions on /system/xbin/su:

-rwsr-sr-x root root

Are there any problems with that?
[Kindle Fire General] Forrest22:
Ok, after some more digging around I worked out what the problem is - Superuser wasn't installed properly (it wasn't doing what it should be doing and no mention was made to it in the list of applications on the Fire). KFU should install superuser but it must've failed.

I installed it manually from the Market and this time, when I try to get Droidwall working I have a pop-up asking me to allow the app to get super user privileges, and after accepting this it works.

Originally I wasn't aware of the role that the superuser app plays in the process, which was causing my confusion here. Glad it's fixed, though! :)
[Android Apps and Games] DooReelkow:
Hello everybody.

I've recently published a small game. More a prototype, but it's already playable. Basically it's a finger twister.

market.android.com/details?id=doo.twistedfingers

Disclaimer in advance. Main requirement is that device must support *at least* 4 simultaneous touches. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Also even if it's 1.6+, I doubt small screens are anything you'd like to do four-finger-gestures with. So there's high chance I'll republish it with 800x480 as minimum requirement later, since there it starts making sense. But so far I can't virtually say what's playable what's not.

So please have a look and I would really appreciate feedback on gameplay, functionality, usability and all. Especially on tablets. I've tested it on one phone only and emulators are no big help when it comes to multitouch.

If i've done it right, early adopters/helpers will automatically be promoted to ad-free users when and if that happens.

Thanks in advance and remember: 4 acne spots is good. At least in twisted fingers.

Cheers,

Doo.

PS. I really hope this doesn't qualifies as spam ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] opentoe:
Got my RMA back today. I almost didn't even try it, but had to. First of all, there were finger prints all over it. The bastards don't even clean their own products when sending them back. The little plastic pieces that go into the docking holes and the power hole were gone. No where to be found. I found a couple small nicks on the back plate. What a shame. Now for powering it on. I got the Android dude with the red exclamation mark in his belly. Powered off, powered back on. Turned on normal. Had ICS on it but needed .21 installed. No big deal, installed it. My normal speedtests without BT are 30+ all the time. I was able to get that without BT. I made an active BT connection and played some music. Did a few more speed tests and it dropped my speed down to 10-12Mbps/sec. It went from 30+ Mbps/sec to 12Mbps/sec and this is a fixed tablet. They also didn't even mention or look at my multiple dead pixels on the screen. They are very easy to see, so the screen was never replaced. All in all I'm actually in worse shape then I was before. I will try to return this tablet tonight and be done with it. I still have one, with a broken wifi/bt but it doesn't have any nicks or dead pixels.....................yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
That's a bummer about the RMA experience. I think ASUS needs to take a look at their service partner and knock some heads...

About the wifi/BT thing, I'm still a bit confounded. I've now compared three other Android devices against my Prime, and here's what I've discovered when I stream music via Google Music to my Motorola headphones:

1. ASUS Transformer (TF101): Wifi dropped from about 20Mb/s to about 4MB/s. Better than the Prime, but still a significant impact.

2. Samsung SGS II Epic 4G Touch: Wifi drops from about 20Mb/s to less than 200Kb/s. Very similar results to the Prime, and nothing else can be done while the music is streaming (e.g., can't even browse).

3. Motorola Photon: Wifi drops from about 20Mb/s to around 6Mb/s. Much like the OG Transformer, a significant impact but still usable.

I must be really unlucky in purchasing devices from a variety of manufacturers that all have their wifi impacted by simultaneously streaming to BT. But if yours is dropping from 30+ Mb/s to 10-12Mb/s, you're not experiencing any worse performance than some other devices that I've personally tried. Doesn't seem like such a terrible thing, unless in spite of the fact that you're still getting 10+ Mb/s bandwidth you can't actually use wifi for anything...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
wifi bluetooth signal drop is caused because the system is using the same chip for both wifi and bluetooth. Devices that have seperate chips and antennas for wifi and bluetooth will have little or no difference.

Unfortunately, to save space and cut costs most vendors go with integrated wifi/bluetooth chips just becasue its easier.

i very frequently stream music from my SGS2 to my bluetooth headphones while browsing the internet, in fact my wifi and bluetooth are nearly always on and i've never missed the difference. Maybe im just used to slow speeds, who knows :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JohnnyKushi:
Another really newbie question I experienced a bootloop last night with shostock 1.0 after a little reading I haven't found anyone who has the same issue with shostock but I did find this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1318599) which touches briefly on the fact that many aftermarket batteries cause a bootloop. I am using an aftermarket battery and have been for almost two months without issue. This is the first time that it's happened and to fix it I just waited for it to stop and updated to shostock 1.1 today. In other words it doesn't seem to me like I've done anything to prevent this from happening in the future and am just wondering what it's caused by.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Aftermarket batteries are fine if they were designed for the I777.

I9100 batteries, on the other hand, will trigger a battery health warning on I777 Gingerbread ( haven't checked this part of the ICS kernel yet).

If you look at the battery, there are 4 contacts:

-, <unlabeled>, +, <unlabeled>

The first unlabeled between + and - is a battery ID. There's a resistor between this and ground. It is one value for I9100 and one for I777 - if an I777 sees the I9100 value, it'll shut down when charging.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Hello, I am trying to make a flashable zip that replaces framework-res.apk in CM9. I have searched and read a bunch of other threads on this, but they all seem to be out of date and none of them actually address the update-binary. Whenever I flash my zip, it aborts due to "error 4" or sometimes "error 0." I have been just copying and pasting the update-binary from other zips, but it seems to give me these errors.

I've attached the .zip in case someone wants to look at it. I'm almost positive my script is solid. Thanks

Script (written in notepad++):

ui_print("Modified framework for CM9 nightly 04/02/2012");

ui_print("by korockinout13");

show_progress(1, 1.5);

ui_print("Installing now...");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

set_perm(0,0,0644, "/system/framework/framework-res.apk");

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "unmount", "/system");

ui_print("Happy didling!!!");

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
That guide isn't in edify though, so those guidelines are out of date. I also think that the script would fail once it got to that step, but mine fails instantly and nothing from the script shows up at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
in notepad ++ is it a UNIX file or Dos/Windows?

do you have a update binary compatible with ICS ? (this one took me a whole night)

sometimes its just best to start with someone elses script, erase everything and start yours, working these files on windows can be a pain.

I have also used D4 update zip maker to proof my scripts and re-save them in correct format, when i run into odd issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
cwm usually proof reads the script to make sure there are no errors and it can complete the task before it starts. if you have an error at the end of the script, nothing will happen.

error 4 isnt familiar but 0 is.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Under the edit menu, for EOL conversion, I chose UNIX format after I read an article somewhere. I think that's the right place?

For the update-binary, I used one from Glitch, CM9, and also another framework.zip but it seems to fail.

I agree, I'll try using somebody else's again

Edit: Well, apparently the command for unmount is umount! I still get the same status 4 error though. I got it to work eventually by copying somebody else's script, but I have no freaking clue how it was in any way different from mine.

[HTC Rezound] paulbarwick:
While using WiFi Explorer to attempt to delete a file from my external sdcard I seem to have deleted the whole external sdcard directory on my stock Rezound. I have tried factory reset, but that doesn't add the missing directory back. As it is now my external card won't mount. I'm sure that there used to be a directory called ext-sdcard or something similar, but there isn't anymore.

If someone could please give me a very detailed walk-through of how to fix this, I would be very grateful. I'm 65+, not too terribly up on this stuff, but I am pretty good at following exact directions to copy and paste when it comes to rooting, etc.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] guut13:
Can't say that I have been in that situation, so I'm not really sure what you deleted. If you just deleted the shortcut, then your data might still be there. Just so we're on the same page, do you have ES File Explorer installed? If not, can you download it from the Market?

Once you launch it. It should take you to the Internal sdcard. Do you see any folders or files? Look for "ext_sd". Might be wrong, but I believe that is just a shortcut to your External sdcard, not your actual card. If that folder is not there, hit the menu button, select New, folder, and name it... ext_sd

If that doesn't work or you do not care about the data on your cards, you could always try reformatting the sdcards. (Just be warned. If you do that, you WILL lose any data that might on the cards, such as pictures.) It should be on the same settings menu as the factory wipe was. First try "Erased SD card". If it is greyed out, select "Unmount SD card" first. If you still can't access the card, try erasing phone storage. Once reformatted, it may reload your ext sd card mapping.
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I had a similar problem, since there is /sdcard and /sdcard2 in the root (top-level) directory I figured those were the actual mount points and /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd were symlinks. It turns out it's the exact opposite so I essentially deleted about 25GB worth of stuff I had on there.

Essentially you need to recreate the directory either from a file brower with root access (such as es file manager) or from the command line.

Run this command via either adb shell or a shell/terminal on your phone when you have root access: mkdir /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
The mount command shows where it's mount point actually is. Like said above it is in /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd

/dev/block/vold/179:65 /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0202,dmask=0202,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0
[HTC Rezound] paulbarwick:
"Incorrect syntax" now

I really appreciate the help. OK, I unlocked it, got root and tried to run the command "mkdir /mnt/sdcard/ext_sd" (without the quotes) with adb. The message I received back was "The syntax of the command was incorrect".

Hopefully I am a lot closer than I was.

If you don't mind, can I make a suggestion? Have you ran the latest .22 leaked RUU or any updates prior to this? Maybe look into Cleanrom 4.2(if you flashed the leak) or Cleanrom 1.7.5(if no leak). May be worth your time and patience to do this instead, as time is money.

[Verizon Droid Charge] n1ghtwish:
Okay so yesterday I decided that I wanted to restore the factory EP4 ODIN package from imnuts' website so that I can factory upgrade to FP1 and re-root.

So I downloaded the factory image and the PIT file and started the flash process with ODIN - yes, all checkboxes were selected appropriately. Well about 10 seconds into the flash, a little red message popped up on the top left corner of my phone while in DL mode that says "RX_TIMEOUT". However, the flash continued on to eventually (after about an hour) succeed.

When I went to boot up my phone, I got a Samsung logo for about an hour. Pulled the battery, tried again, same thing. Tried the flash again, same thing. Tried a few more times (each time taking 30-50 minutes, sometimes an hour) and same thing. Downloaded EE4 and tried that - same thing.

Here are the things I've tried:

- flash with battery in AND out

- flash with PIT file and without

- downloaded the EP4 image again, in case of bad download

- downloaded EE4 and tried to flash it (same result)

- let the phone charge for a bit

- tried ALL USB ports

A few flashes ago, I ended up in factory recovery (thought that was a good sign) but when I clicked reboot, I got the Sammy logo again.

EDIT: Well, after the last failed flash, I lost download mode :( it's toast. Any advice?
[Verizon Droid Charge] BattsNotIncld:
What version of Odin are you using?

Does the charging icon come up if you plug it into the wall? Maybe the cable is bad.

I've noticed that either my cable, or the mini usb port on the phone are going bad. If I move the cable/phone even slightly, it loses USB connection with the comp. Now I make sure there is a good connection, and I don't move the phone/cable AT ALL when I am flashing via ODIN.

edit: this is actually being discussed in another thread RIGHT NOW: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24412728&postcount=290

I would guess cable, though I would have tried a new cable before going through so many bad flashes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] n1ghtwish:
Thanks for the replies - yes, I know it's being discussed in that thread, I started the discussion. I just figured it would be easier to post a new thread than to extend that one.

Anyway, Imnuts, I actually did try a different USB cable and the funny thing is that the ODIN flash was WAY faster, but failed (actually reported as failed). With the first cable, it was taking a really long time but it the flash passed.

But it doesn't matter anyway because I figured since I managed to (somehow) get into the stock recovery (even though I was unable to do anything), the phone must have been wiped and restored to factory, although bricked. So, I called up Big Red and they sent me a new one under factory warranty :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] n1ghtwish:
New phone, new results - trying to flash the recovery image.

0302_charge_recovery.tar.md5

I have 1 usb port on my laptop - never had an issue with ODIN before this. I have always used a USB hub on my laptop to remedy the other broken port.

There are 4 ports on the hub and I get different ODIN results with each one:

USB1) PASS - but still no recovery on my phone (Samsung logo forever if I try to get into recovery, but phone will boot up fine)

USB2) DOES NOT FINISH - I get a RQT_CLOSE !! error in ODIN and nothing happens after that. The result of this flash is a soft-brick with the little PHONE -> PC icon.

USB3) FAIL

USB4) Hangs at "SetupConnection.." forever

LAPTOP PORT) Random result from the list above

Each one of these also yields the RX_TIMEOUT stamp on the phone screen.

I'm at a loss for how to get the damn recovery on my phone. I have tried 3 different cables. My only other option left is to try to use someone else's computer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
After USB1 pass, phone off, three button press didn't work? (Vol. up, home, power) try quick boot app from market see if that'll get you in recovery.

I suggest try someone else computer. Obviously, there is data drops and caused between the driver and your O/S or hardware.
[Verizon Droid Charge] n1ghtwish:
After a few more tries and almost throwing the laptop and the phone out the window, it passed and I now have recovery and stock rooted FP1.
