By the way, if HTC does make a new qwerty this September, it won't be the first time they've gone back on their word

Ok, maybe if I can keep the screen flat and tilt only when I need it like in the touch pro 2 video. That sounds great. I don't need my phone screen popping up like a laptop every time I need to type something though...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Desco911:
All my previous phones have had alpha keys (Treo, SE p1i, then t9 phones) and I wasn't sure about getting a non-alpha keyed phone, but the 4G Slide ended up being the best specs for the price anyway, so I got it... Turns out I use it a LOT less than I thought I would-- swyping is just so much faster. I do however use the hardware keys almost exclusively for website/email addresses and login/passwords because it's a lot harder to make mistakes (and there's no autocorrect getting in the way)...

I'm gonna have a real tough decision to make for my next phone unless Samsung comes out with a Nexus or S-series phone with a hardware keboard. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raycosm:
I'll agree with you that typing on a soft keyboard is faster, but typing on a hardware keyboard is just...more enjoyable. Also, I'm finding that it's actually kind of frustrating typing on a screen smaller than 4 inches coming from the Vibrant. I didn't realize how big of a screen size difference there between from the Vibrant to the MT4GS. And finally, I find landscape mode nearly useless without a slide out qwerty since android uses the entire screen for text input when you're in landscape mode, making instant messaging a bit frustrating.

My only complaint about the MT4GS keyboard is that the space bar is too short and needs to extend a bit to the right so that my right thumb can press it more easily. I guess I'll look for that in my next phone, but I don't see me switching for another 2 years.

I have a touchpro2 running android and I love the kickup display. It works either way. Sadly it was a win6.5 phone and neither windows nor android was livable. But its what made me buy this phone.

If the g3 exists...I'll get one. With or without a kickup display. But please...with?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] gtmaster303:
I will admit the samsung phone is more plasticky. But I've used my friend's captivate glide, and the keyboard is much better than the one we have. Keys give a lot more response and feedback when pressed. 4G Slide keys are much smaller in comparison. Obviously, this phone has much more dev support and has better build quality overall, but I have to concede that the keyboard is not the strong suit. I dread typing out long messages (like this one) on the 4G Slide, but on my old G2 I could pound out replies no problem. It's actually the worst keyboard of all the android phones I've owned so far (Cliq, 3G Slide, and G2). But the raw power and camera make up for it... and it has a track pad, which is a small feature I've grown to like in my last few phones. So it seemed like the only upgrade I had to the G2.

The keyboard is pretty bad but the guys are made with better feeling material (I think)

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
The fact you are new does not excuse you from following forum rules. PLEASE use the search engine

All your questions have been asked and answerded numerous times.

Its been made.very clear you have to do an extensive wipe to flash either the CM7 or MIUI ROMs on the Streak. The fact you are bootlooping or stuck at Dell logo proves you probably didn't do that OR worst case scenario you may have to reformat your entire inner SD as we have no idea what you did before going to Gingerbread.

So factory reset from BOTH recoveries (Dell recovery and Streakmod) and flash again.

I can't believe I just wrote that when its in countless posts... I must be in a good mood today

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you believe GingerStreak is good, then you want to try DSC or CM7. GingerStreak hasn't been updated in over a year now and was based on beta code for Gingerbread. DSC and CM7 are far more current, far more stable, and have few (if any) showstopper bugs.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
honestly, i would recommend to try dsc 1.0 first and when you have familiarized yourself with it, goes for dsc 1.1

ICS is now being developed for the streak. I have been using the pre-alpha build and for me it is now good for use as an everyday rom.

Im not saying its 100% bug free yet but ive been using it for 3 days now and i can live with the issues it currently has now.

After todays update flash is now working and for me that was the only undesirable, with it now fixed I wont be turning back.

The rom is being updated at a good pace and I dont think the beta is too far away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Colt10mm:
I have a question:

I'm presently runningthe Nocturnal Venum AOKP rom (which is awesome

I might add) but this question actually has impications on all the

ICS 4.03 & 4.04 roms. After Flashing the rom and whatever else you

flash through the EL26 CWM(5.027) based kernel and rebooting you

loose that CWM and must get CWM from the Play Store.

My question is this; Say I want to flash a new modem must I Odin

the EL26 kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514665

using the method per kbizzle and then flash new modem and reflash

ICS kernel? This is important to know as the only unrecoverable brick I

have manufactured is with the flashing that goes between gingerbread

based recovery to ICS rom and attenpting to go back. I admit I'm a 50

something year old noob with building pc's as my experience before

getting into the android game so I wont pretend I'm something I'm

not! I have flased better than 100 roms and am learning more with

each possible bricking roll of the dice flashing I do and I have

bricked my share. Is their a CWM in the works for flashing modems

and so on in the works? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cnstarz:
to flash a modem, simply flash the .bin file in Odin. no need to use recovery and it doesn't add to the Odin count.

DO NOT USE CWM FROM THE PLAY STORE!!!!

Odin el26 cwm, clear dalvik cache, flash whatever mod you're wanting to flash, flash AOSP ICS kernel, reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scubasteve19842004:
worked like a charm

I was having the same problem flashing modems on Nocturnal Venum. Didnt know we had to flash the kernel along with it. Needless to say working great now:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyTurboII:
It would be in your best interest to flash using ODIN. You won't have to go back to a GB kernel to flash a modem with ODIN.

You can flash with CWM, but I wouldn't in the AOKP/AOSP situation you're in.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Colt10mm:
Flashing new ICS modem

OK cnstarz,

That's what I needed to know and appreciate your prompt response! You raise another question which is was using or wanting to use CWM for nandroid backup but as it wouldn't flash modem, the nandroid backup is also out of the question. I plan on using the rom I'm on now as a daily driver but like to try others out and know that I have to basically Odin back to gingerbread to either try another gingerbread rom or to do another ICS rom. So, my guess is I have no nandroid option or is there?

Again thanks for your help. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMad:
Ok so i've looked, cant find anything to help me out here... Its always possible i used the wrong search terms but i think i did pretty good...

Anyway, i had flashed i believe a CWM version of ICS when it first came out because it was easy to do, and i was able to keep root. Well I ended up with the CWM Recovery version that had the problem of constantly booting into CWM, so i fixed that and the tablet was telling me there was a firmware update, so i did it..

Now im stuck at the splash screen... When i try to boot into Recovery, it says its loading the recovery image but never does anything else. When i tried to load the other screen where you can choose recovery or the OS, i think people call it the linux screen? I dont remember, but when i did that, the big battery meter displayed on the phone for a second then disappeared... Wont turn on now, so i just plugged it in.. Is there something im missing? Or something i can do that anyone is aware of?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Check if the Android Debug Bridge works, and is your device a B60 or lower, (sbkv1)? If so you can use NvFlash to restore the tab.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMad:
Its B90, SBKv2...

Last time i tried to boot, i tried Power+Volume Up and i saw the large battery that android phones typically show when they are powered off and you plug it in.. If i remember right, TF101 typically boots up if you plug it in when turned on, but it turned on, flashed that battery image and shut off, havent been able to turn it on since... Plugging it into my computer though, it wont turn on, plugging it into the wall outlet it turns on and sticks at the splash screen, so i'm gonna leave it there for a bit and see if it charges, then i'll try plugging it into the comp to see if ADB works... I'll let you know, thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getbuzzin:
To get to recovery its power +vol down. Power + vol up gets you to apex mode, blank screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
.....don't know if I read all your info correct but to enter recovery is volume down + power until you get a message at the top of the screen then you let go both and press volume up to enter recovery or if you don't hit volume up it takes you to the cold boot / wipe data screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMad:
Yes, i posted that... I tried booting to recovery and it freezes when it says its loading the recovery image.

I was trying other combinations trying to remember the linux screen or whatever it was called, but either way. ADB mode doesnt work, im stuck at the splash screen. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMad:
SOLUTION: Do not do the update after fixing your TF101 if you have this same problem, because you'll have it again! Either way, here's what you do.

1) Since you cant shut off the TF101, hold the power button until the screen goes blank, then immediately let go of the power button and hold volume down. 2) The splash screen will re-appear, dont let go of the Volume Down button until you see the text at the top left corner of the screen prompting you to press volume up to enter recovery.

2) Dont press Volume Up since it will freeze trying to get into recovery. Instead, just wait and make sure your not holding down or pressing any buttons.

3) After a few second, you will be presented with two icons, one to wipe data and one to boot android/linux, selecting android/linux WILL work and boot, but you'll have the same issue as before without fixing anything if you reboot again. Follow the instructions to wipe your data. YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING!

4) At this point, Recovery still wont work. Boot your TF101 and get it setup and use the Play Store to download a terminal emulator

5) Open the terminal emulator and type SU and press enter, confirm superuser access.

6) Type in the following and press enter when done: echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

7) Restart your transformer, let it boot normally the first time, after that, recovery should work.

8) Problem solved,

DONT install the update this time!

Install a custom ROM the typical way using CWM, and your set!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMad:
So, one thing i've noticed is im being spammed out of my mind from the OS to do that system update, so i've found that the best thing to do once your bootable, is to flash a custom ROM.

I tried this but went back to the same ICS version I had before, and ran into the same problems. Ended up with a whole other ROM, and now all problems are solved!

Good luck to anyone that has this issue!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twelvefold:
Hey, I'm quite new to flashing and modding Android devices and the stuff in these forums so frankly I have no idea what to do with my GS2 :confused:

First off it started with my flashing hydrogen 18/04 rom via cwm recovery on my previously rooted phone. Everything was fine for a few days before I flashed the mod pack available from the hydrogen thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530179 I also flashed the latest siyah kernal, along with a modem (LP7 i think).

So after all this everything seemed to be working fine except the camera and flashlight, so I tried to restore from a backup I made 2 days previously, where everything was working correctly (just hydrogen rom). The restore process stayed on /data for several minutes so I rebooted and tried again. The same thing happened for the next few tries, and booting normally would result in a frozen boot animation after a minute or two.

Right now I am attempting to follow this threadhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457458using the ICS method to try and get my phone working.

Right now the phone is connected and flashing but stuck at data.img in odin. I'm not sure how to proceed without damaging my phone further :(

Please help?

Im guessing the problem has to do with the /data directory, perhaps causing an unflashable GS2 (described in the second link). The phone is still connected at the moment with the progress bar half way through the flashing process. What should I do to stop the flash, seeing as its been going on for half an hour and not going to resolve itself?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braidonh:
So you've tried wiping? If so, then it sounds like you have corrupted the /data folder. I'm not an expert my any means, nor have I encountered anything resembling your issue, however, you may want to try and flash an official ROM in its entirety in order to get everything functional again. I'm not sure about how to go about using the PIT file, as I know this can hard brick your phone, but in your case it may be necessary to repartition your directories. I invite you to take the advice of more knowledgeable members here before committing to my suggestion as the results can be catastrophic and permanent.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twelvefold:
Thanks for your quick reply Braidonh. Yes ive tried performing a factory reset/wipe in recovery mode, but it hangs on /data as well. What should I do with the current flashing process in odin to minimise potential problems that may occur?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braidonh:
Generally speaking, flashing via ODIN is very safe. Worst case is you have to reflash, nothing generally breaks with an ODIN flash provided you don't touch a PIT file. So, that said, I have had instances where ODIN hangs when flashing PDA and PHONE, and I have unplugged with no negative results other than a required reflash. If data.img won't flash, unplug, and try again.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dvtq:
First I have to say thank you to all the developers for making many great ROM. Second, I am not good with android :D.

I just upgrade to hellfire sandwich and seem like whenever i choose using"internal storage" the phone will auto gray out the external SD card (8gb). When i uncheck that option, i can use the external SD card again. But I want to use the left over internal storage 5gb too... not just 1.5gb internal storage.

Is there someway to re-partition the internal storage together? or allow the phone to recognize all the partitions?

Another question is I cannot use USB mass storage anymore, that option is grayed out too, And the only option is MTP which work really slow but a bit better than PTP. I need some help because Android commander cant recognize the device and the transfer sped is pretty slow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rrroach:
You should be able to access the internal storage by navigating in the file explorer of your choice to the mnt/emmc/ directory. As for the mass storagw, I don't know the answer, but I had that problem too while I was on ICS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
The best option I have found is to use cwm to add and remove things through storage. It works all the time. Since on 2.3.3 mounts where sketchy and I've never been a fan of mtp on ics this is what I've always done.

Your transfer rates are due to your SD card class. The higher the class the higher the read/write speeds.

Ics went to using mtp and ptp instead of USB mass storage. Except there's a few roms that have hacked ums in and got it to work or claim too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dvtq:
Yes i can do that too, so there is no way to allow the phone using both... I want to let the phone install apps to internal, and use external as media storage.

Thank you, because i saw the option there so i just wonder if there is a way to enable it... but if it not supposed to be there then there is no help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mazout360:
If you go to ../etc/ using a file explorer, you may edit vold.fstab using a text editor and change manually your SD cards mount points (dev_mount emmc "folder location" for internal SD and dev_mount sdcard "folder location" for external SD)

Envoyé depuis mon LG-P999 avec Tapatalk
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaywillsoul:
Ok, well in your SD Card you shoud see either _Internal SD or _External SD when you go into CWM, installing a rom partitions you SD card normally using EXT4. You can navigate to both through mnt in file manager. Normally it'll load into external. You can go back to mnt and go into internal through there. Now, you may have to unmount and remount so you have access to it. If your using hellfire 1.7 you need the updated harsh kernel to access USB storage. In 1.6, however, you shouldn't have that problem.
