Don't get me wrong guys, this phone (MoPho) is amazing. Webtop is actually really cool and I can't tell you how jaws dropped at the inlaws "iHome" when I turned their TV into a desktop, but WiMax for me is essential. Why? I'm coated in Wimax. I can't give up a consistent 8 down for the sake of ROMing (though I have considered :D).

Its not all roses though, I'm not slated for LTE at all yet. Not even in years. So, time will tell if I have to (very painfully) vacate Sprint.

BTW sorry if I came across as one of those device bashing d-bags, I'm not, I have just really had a rough year with Moto. Tip - I was an early Xoom adopter.

A Question?

Hello TSDeaton,

I know that this question *MAY* be in the wrong thread, if it is, move it where it should be. Please don't shoot me! :o

First: I have Motorola Photon SPRINT phone, Model MB855, Android 2.3.4, kernel 2.6.32.9

Have you or anyone else experienced a funky reboot after sending or receiving a phone call? This happens without any kind of warning.

It doesn't happen every single time, but it does happen at least twice a day. It doesn't matter which phone number I calling or which number is calling me. The phone will reboot.

Is it a hardware issue or a software issue?

Should I go back to Sprint and get a replacement phone?

Any advise is greatly appreciated! :)

After being told to be mindful of what I post over at the Motorola owners support forums via email I have received another from them. Only this time it's for the May 2012 Soak test. Are they nuts?!?!? Do they think I'm going to let them lock me down?? Maybe I can get the package and see what's in it, although it's probably the same one that's out already.

My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
i got this email at midnight last night offering new soak as well first time to hear from them so after reading the threads I'm hesitant as well with all the work I got going I can't get locked down but I am very curious
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
I wonder if I could do the same as my DX let me do. I caught the update before it installed (already downloaded) and froze the updater and upgrader apk's with TiBu.

At that time I was tired of the reminders cause I kept saying "install later". Theoretically the upgrade package should be in the cache folder. Having root and root explorer should let me move it elsewhere to examine.

I'll have to think about that for a while. I'm lovin ICS and don't want to loose it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
i did that, last week >.> that 2.3.5 zip that i posted was their official stuff.

i had it posted but got a dmca takedown notice from richard at motorola (apparently one of their lawyers). so i pulled the zip. it locks your bootloader brings various updates to apps (nothing major just brings crap like google maps up to date etc etc. and IMO breaks hdmi out
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
males sense. Just thought it was strange that a week after it was posted that it's come out there's a new round of notices. Thought maybe there was something different or if there were bugs in the last one that are fixed already.

Did your message say something like "this will be a final release unless there are major issues reported"?

My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Just to make sure I posted properly, the message about it being a Final version was in the link I was taken to, not in my email.

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
the zip i posted was pulled from their test servers. i got teh email as well this is the soak test for 2.3.5. it hasnt begun yet we just managed to get the zip early ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
Well I can ignore it, decline it, but I am not installing it. No matter what I do I probably won't be lucky enough to get chosen when they decide to Soak for ICS. {That would be a nice one to get certain "pieces"of}

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Boot up the phone and use a file explorer to go to /system/bin and make sure there is a file called su. Also try to go to the mannage applications menu and clear the data for the superuser app. If it still dosent work i would try reflashing cwm thru hboot and then try flashing superuser again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alton (Halo 2):
Yes there both in xbin and bin

And its only one Rom so is doing that second option neccessary ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
No probably not necessary if other roms work fine. Im not sure, are others using the rom having the same issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alton (Halo 2):
Yes, Im pretty sure its the Rom
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] rEVOLVE:
I have several Q1Us from when UMPCs were being produced and one of the accessories that i still get use from is the very slim usb keyboard that was meant to go into the portfolio case for these units.

I decided to try plugging it into the USB OTG adapter and found it works great! I especially like that when i have to resort to a physical keyboard, the trackpoint makes it so i can control the cursor without lifting my hands from the keys like i would need to control a mouse or touch the screen.

I have not been able to find a wireless keyboard skinnier than this thing with the added bonus of a built-in pointer. The model number is Samsung AA-SK0TKBD/US.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] PointZeroOne:
Any ideas on where to buy one of these?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] acid123:
Best bet will be eBay
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] rEVOLVE:
yeah, i looked around and all the sources that sold them before say unavailable w/ no mention of stock replenishment (no surprise since it's so old now). Acid123 is right that you'll see them pop up on eBay every once in a while. When i stopped using my Q1U as much I'd still carry that keyboard around because it's so damn useful and slim.

Somebody would make some money if they just made a slim keyboard that had the same format w/ the pointing nub in the middle (i don't care if usb/bt). Would be nice if there was also the Android specific softkeys built-in like back/home/menu/search.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] orenxda:
This one is worth mentioning. Mine has been sleeping for a while in a "PC reparing kit".

The original pouch can be useful -even if you own a larger tab- for many purposes, including travelling, and in a "crossed legs sofa position.

Customizing the original umpc craddle to make it less thick should be easy.

The KB is good but sometimes misses keys typing too fast. Hold a letter and it will display accentuation options depending on your layout.

The mini mouse is ok but can't be used for drawing for ex. Mine tends to change direction if i bend it too much. By reflex I still use the tabs touchscreen depending the situation.

Num/caps lock lits. Fn/volume+,-,mute works. copy/paste is a pleasure ctrl/c, v or x works. Esc key acts as "escape, for ex it can show off the screen KB.

USB connection won't draw battery as bluetooth so you won't bother keeping it conneted all day long on your desk.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] rEVOLVE:
Hey we found the same use for these! I also used it to fill in as a super portable kb/mouse combo in my pc repair kit.

Regrettably, I never picked up the portfolio case when I was using the Q1U. I notice you still have your trackpoint! Mine fell off and got lost at some point so i transferred the blue one that's currently on mine from another laptop.

[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
so now that we have s-off is it possible to just flash the stock ruu without relocking and all that bs you had to go through to upgrade firmware ? or do i still have to lock the bootloader or whatever
[HTC Rezound] rwc95:
yes once your s-off you can. I went from the ics leak firmware back to gb ruu without locking anything. Be sure once you run the ruu to do a factory reset in the bootloader before you start flashing roms or you could have problems with the 4g radio. I never had any problems but a lot of people have when downgrading, so to be safe I would it takes a couple minutes and your covered.

What app do you Use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
What exactly are you trying to backup?

If you already have a Titanium Backup, copy that folder to your PC

Also, SMS Backup and Restore, Call Log Backup and Restore and APN Backup and Restore to backup those items, then copy the folders to the computer from your phone.

We need a little more info to give you a good answer but that should help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chappatti:
To backup your phone, complete Andorid OS, system files, apps and all.....you need a nandroid backup. This you would acheive with Clockworkmod Recovery. This a complete 1:1 backup that will be an

exact replica

of your phone. Everything........you then copy the backup folder to your computer.

Now if you want a backup like syncing your files, music, pics and folders, you need Kies, which is the samsung software for this. HOWEVER, it may or may not backup your SYSTEM files and settings......I have not used Kies in a while, so dont know what it does anymore :o

And finally, you can use a file manager like Astro File Manager, Root Explorer and then copy all files to your external SD card.

Have fun !!

I agree with Uncle Irish, Titanium Backup will do all that for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LPMatt:
To sync to a windows pc, just get my phone explorer from Google play.

EDIT: MyPhoneExplorer lets you sync to Outlook, Thunderbird, and several other apps on your PC. You'll need to download the PC version, too. I use this to back up my contacts and calendar to Outlook.

The other posts here have great advice for backing up your phone's files. ROM Toolbox is a great app that does a lot of what you want on a rooted phone. It can do app backups just like Titanium Backup (I actually like RTB better than TiBu). I also back up calendar and contacts to google for easy syncing after a wipe.

Anyone know how to solve it?

I want to re-flash stock recovery after flash CWM recovery.

I unlocked and rooted my phone in 4.0.2, also renamed the recovery-from-boot.p and flashed CWM.

When I got an OTA to 4.0.4, I tried to re-flash stock recovery, I did and I updated to 4.0.4. After update I flash CWM and root again.

But later on I got an OTA of debug of 4.0.4, I do the exactly the same thing but when I try to enter stock recovery, I only see a red triangle.

So I tried to move the recovery-from-boot.p to sdcard and flash CWM, I can enter to CWM, I don't know where is the problem, I tried to use fastboot command to flash stock recovery from stock image.

I typed "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

I got red triangle again, Who can told me where the problem is??

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TakuSkan:
I'm wondering if I should use Titanium or CWM to back up my phone now that I've finally got my S5830L rooted. I spent most of yesterday searching for and reading information on CWM. But I still have a bit to learn 1st.

As I've done with PCs, I just want a relatively vanilla backup so that if for some reason down the line the phone's OS gets so corrupted that it's near unusable... I'll have something to flash back to.

It seems there's no way to uninstall CWM once it's flashed. But it seems that Titanium as an app can. And I would still like to leave things as simple as possible to go back to a valid warranty condition.

So my question is, can Titanium do as good of a job backing up my phone as it is now to restore it later as CWM can?

I've read where CWM doesn't back up the kernel and modem, tho' I'm not clear one if that's important. But I've also heard that Titanium can back up apps and other data on your SD card. I'm leaning towards Titanium... but would like to hear a few people's opinions on this.

I know this is probably rehashed newb stuff... so thanks everyone for all your feedback.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
If you want to backup the entire system , use CWM4

If you only want to backup apps , use Titanium

Ace-ing all tests.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TakuSkan:
Titanium for apps, CWM for total OS/drive. Have been seeing that. But CWM4... not CWM5? And any concerns about not backing up kernel & modem?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Bakuron:
No concern with not backing up kernel, readily available online - i think data/wifi modules are backed up with the system backup. CWM4 does the same job as CWM5. It's called a Nandroid backup btw, a complete system and storage backup. Perfect for what you want.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TakuSkan:
I notice there's a recovery.img file in CWM v5.0.2.6 that v4.0.0.9 lacks... wonder what that's for. From the file name I'd guess it's for some improved recovery function that v4 lacks.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
It's just a recovery image

Ace-ing all tests.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TakuSkan:
Yes, but a recovery image of what that's different from the main backup CWM makes when it images the phone?

I know in PCs that it's important to image the boot sector if you want to restore the image to a drive you expect to be able to boot and be a 100% copy of the original. Could this be something like that?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
The recovery.img in the CWM5 .zip package is the entire recovery itself , nothing else

Ace-ing all tests.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TakuSkan:
Maybe I'm just not familiar enough with the lexicon of the Android community. An '.img' file to me is an backup, or image of a hard drive or drive partition that can back up part or all of a hard drive. That image file can then be used to make an identical mirror of the 1st drive onto a 2nd drive.

When you back up a phone with CWM, I've read the terms ROM and Backup used. I don't know if I've read the term Image being used or not in that respect. But I was thinking in terms of the CWM backup of a phone as being what I'm used to... Something that will restore all or most of the 1st drive back onto either that drive or another.

What the recovery.img file is an image of I'm not clear on. What is it an image of? And when the file CWM creates is later restored to a phone, what part does the recovery.img image file play in the process?

Does CWM use that recovery.img as a template and either modify and add to it when it backs up a phone, or perhaps create a whole new .img file based on it?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Okay let me rephrase .

When clockworkmod recovery version 4 backs up files , it is in this structure

Boot image

Recovery image

Data

System

Cache

SD-ext

The recovery image is the backup of CWMv4 in this case .

Mostly I would recommend you to use CWMv5 because it is backwards compatible with v4 (allows restoring v4 backups)

But if you restore a CWMv4 backup in CWMv5 , the CWMv4 recovery image will be restored along with it , thus bringing your recovery back to v4

Ace-ing all tests.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TakuSkan:
Okay EmoBoiix3... That list made me realize that those are all partitions in the Android/Linux OS. So I googled 'android drive partitions' and came up with this very useful explanation of how those OSs are structured. Unlike Windows OSs, they use multiple partitions that all 'appear' to the OS as one big entity. And CWM is assuming itself as being 2 of them, /boot and /recovery when it does operations on the entire memory space. I call that "memory space" because Android phones seem all to be using solid-state (flash) memory as opposed to motorized hard drives computers (and iPods still!?) have been based on for so long.

So I've gone ahead and installed CWM5, and backed up my phone. Interesting CWM doesn't ask for a destination. I'm guessing it'll let you browse for one if you move it later.

And I find it doesn't back things up to one big image file like I'm used to with Windows imaging software I've used. It seems to have created an image for each partition, which makes sense based how on the Android OS is structured.

One thing that surprised me was the size of the backed up data ended up being. For me that was 397 MB. For some reason I thought the Ace had 4 GB internal memory. But checking specs, I see there's only 158 MB storage, and 278 MB RAM. At 1st I thought I was going to have huge amounts of memory left over. But now I'm wondering how 397 MB fit on 158 MB storage memory. Wikipedia explained that for me:

(NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off (non-volatile). This is in contrast to dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and static random-access memory (SRAM

So the specs must mean more specifically 278 MB NVRAM. Wonder why they differentiate between 'storage memory' and 'RAM' if it's all solid state in there.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
Well , if they still used motorised hard drives wouldn't it be too hot to operate considering how it heats up when playing games ?

All backups are saved to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup .

Yes , if everything is backed up into one whole chunck it would probably make things harder to do and would take more time to merge all of them together depending on how big the partitions are .

It might be NVRAM .

But no one ever found out and so haven't I.....

Ace-ing all tests.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] TakuSkan:
I have to admit to being way out of touch with modern mobile phone technology. It seems the 1st generation iPhones had hard drives. And as far as I know, iPod's still do. I imagine that will change when Apple feels flash memory technology gets to the point where it reaches the longevity of HDDs of years past. But I really have no idea how hot a hand held device with a hard drive would get. I'd think the power consumption would be the greater consideration.

Thanks... that was easy enough to locate. I was just wondering if CWM restore was going to expect the backup to be in one specific location. But it seems way to clever to stumble on something that simple.

Really? ... Interesting.
