[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thenags:
Has it been getting worse for anyone? I travel a LOT.. And lately my phone is all but useless. I was in Maryland recently and I may as well have left my phone home. In Long Beach, California it was hit or miss. And in Indianapolis this past weekend I'd go HOURS with no service at all. Just an X.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] usadaytrader:
I am on my 2nd replacement phone. 3rd device. Still having 3 g problems after reprovisioning, prl update etc etc etc. I am on CDMA only. I want to chuck this POS phone so bad. Sprint denies any knowledge of issues. They keep offering me refurbs
[EVO 4G General] Raistlin1:
My wife was complaining about her Blackerry Style and I had been toying with the idea of finding a used newer Wimax phone so I wouldn't use an upgrade becuase I want to wait for their LTE to come before I think about maybe leaving Sprint.

So I found someone on CL who was selling a "almost brand new" white ET4G for a pretty good price and I pulled the trigger. (of course I had ESN checked before I paid) I plan on giving this phone to my wife once LTE rolls out and that is when I may try to get the Evo LTE or the Samsung GSIII.

I am so used to flashing the Evo that the the Samsung flashing seems much more complicated. I do have a Galaxy Tab but I do not flash it often and only used Odin once to root it and flash CWM. I miss the ease of use/comfort of flashing my Evo and I kinda miss the phone as well, but I do like the Epic Touch. Phone is fast, screen is bright and huge and the phone is pretty good in the hands.

My wife is now transitioning from Blackberry to Andoid using the OG Evo on MikG3.1 (fnin sick ROM and has been my daily driver for months now). Hopefully she gets used to it but she hates typing on the screen instead of a real keyboard. I gave her a trial of Swiftkey X to see if she likes that keyboard better than the stock one. I had problems installing Swype beta for her, kept getting a parsing error even though Swype was working on the Evo when I was using it.

Anyway, I am going to miss the Evo forums but at least for now my wife is using it and I may still need to come back here.
[EVO 4G General] MattMatt0240:
At least you'll still be able to mess around with the good 'ol EVO. I'm in a similar situation...

My girlfriend has the Epic 4g touch, and as a hardcore evo fan, I admit that epic is pretty sweet :) Hardware is decent, and picture quality/screen are its main highlights, also pretty fast! I don't know its true potential because, for some reason, she hates the thought of rooting phones and i can't convince her otherwise...

Her upgrade comes sooner than mine and I want her phone to mess with til' i can get my hands on the LTE. I wish you luck and let us know how it goes
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well you still have access to the evo. I rooted an original Galaxy S, so I know what you mean using Odin. I just pre-ordered my S Galaxy S III...so after all the 'rumors' that I left...I finally will be, lol.
[EVO 4G General] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Invest the $5 in mobile Odin pro by chainfire one of the best $5 u can spend on this phone, you won't be tethered to the PC to use Odin unless you're stuck in a bootloop or your phone won't fully boot into android. It works great for flashing the el26+cwm kernel for flashing ICS or AOSP roms. I upgraded to the ET4G from the Evo and upgraded my 2nd line to the Evo from the intercept. The ET4G is hands down the best non LTE device on sprint. Its easy to root, has tons of development and has the best hardware specs over any of the other wimax devices. The new generation of phones with LTE are pretty much playing catch up with the sgs2 even tho they have better specs hardware wise, real world performance the devices are so close its not even worth the upgrade til the next gen of LTE phones roll out. I'm personally waiting til the next nexus is announced or the LG Eclipse 4g LTE comes out this 3rd/4th quarter. I'm personally boycotting HTC for their half ass dev support, I will never buy anything made by Crapple, so my next device will be Samsung, nexus or LG since I also dislike Motorola because of their locked up bootloaders similar to HTC. If you have any questions about the ET4G feel free to PM me and ill be glad to help you out or point you to someone/somewhere to find your answers.

We are legion, for we are many.
[EVO 4G General] snownskate:
I have one of these that I use at home for an XBMC remote (total overkill, I know). I actually really like the screen, and think it looks better than the Evo's. Also, Cyanogenmod 7 really rocks on this particular phone, super solid and extremely fast to maneuver around and open/close apps, etc...highly recommend you try this ROM first.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HuskerWebhead:
I purchased the Seidio 3800mAh battery with NFC (for Verizon) a few weeks ago and I actually really like the battery life it's given me. I never had much of a chance to try out the NFC until recently. I bought a few NFC tags to start playing with but found that the battery wouldn't read any of the tags I bought. The OEM batteries worked fine, even through the cases.

I was finally able to get the 3800 battery to pick up the tags, but only after removing the case and the back and putting the tag right on the battery. Even then, it was hit and miss if it would pick it up and properly read it. I contacted Seidio and they sent me out a new battery, thinking it was a defective unit. Unfortunately, the new battery has the same problem.

I even went as far as to purchase another set of tags, variety pack with different sizes. Only the really large stickers seemed to work consistently. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with the Seidio 3800 batteries?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
It could always depend on the software that you are using to read the tags. Check with the developers and see if there has been any testing done with the model battery you have. I know that the pin-pads at CVS, Cumberland Farms, and Walgreens will give me a read with Google Wallet without having to purchase anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paarthdesai:
naa its nt kinda weakk.. probably if u dnt do heavy multi tasking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HuskerWebhead:
Not using any specific software to simply read them....Just whatever is built in to the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gotroot801:
I'm having the same problem with mine. Sent it back on an RMA, and the new one has the same problem. I can't get it to read any of my NFC tags, whereas the stock battery works like a charm.

I'll try it with Google Wallet, but I'm not too hopeful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HuskerWebhead:
I have gotten some tags to work, but they have to be the really big ones. The smaller tags just don't register. I bought a starter pack of tags that had some 2.5" x 3.5" sticker tags that seem to work really well. Not exactly the solution I was hoping for, but it works.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Aleq:
Hi All,

I'm still curious, with the upcoming kernel 3.0 and freshly ported Ducati binary from KF, are we getting everything needed for the HW accelerated UI?

I have seen posts about video being accelerated, but not the UI. I don't know the architecture / background of HWA, so pardon me if this is clear and accelerated video in ICS means also accelerated UI.

Was the ducati binary the last big piece of a puzzle required to get the UI accelerated and now "only" fixes/adjustments/optimisations are needed?

Thanks for clarification
[Verizon Droid Charge] talty09:
Hey everyone, I used to have the older 1.4 eclipse rom with the PBJ kernel for the ep4 kernel version. Things were fine and working great. I then dropped my phone into some water, awesome. Got a new replacement droid and saw that eclipse rom 2.0 was out for the OTA FP1 kernel build. I went ahead and put on CWM through ODIN and flashed the 2.0 rom with superuser by installing from the zip in CWM. I can still boot into CWM and the eclipse rom is still running.

However, I am noticing a lot of weird issues that tells me something is not right. I just installed the PBJ kernel for FP1 builds (0542 i think). I went to the immuts website and checked my phone's About menu and it matches the kernel version he says it should be (if installed). Great, so I this is saying the kernel is installed. Previously before installing the kernel, I was able to use wifi tether without an issue. Now I can't "phone is in an unknown state" or some similar error. Also, when opening up the terminal emulator and trying to get root permissions (su) I get permission denied from superuser. No block on the app is set in the superuser app. I also downloaded the Voltage Control app and when opening it says that I am not root and must be root. I also got a root checker and superuser won't give it permissions and it says I am not on a rooted device.

What gives? I have been reading about the EXT4 conversion. Do I need to do this or is it already done for me? Did I install this kernel the wrong way?
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
The root issue is common on PBJ 0524. It has to do with permissions on the su binary getting messed up. The simplest fix is to download the binary from http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip and reflash it in CWM. Make sure you mount /system before you flash or it won't work.

ext4 conversion has to be done manually. You can use imoseyon's kernel at Rootz to do the conversion and then flash PBJ over it, or you can use imunt's ext formatter. The ext formatter will wipe everything, so you'll have to reflash and restore your data.

EDIT: I only really recommend worrying about ext4 if you plan to do CWM backups. rfs works just fine otherwise.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Was the phone on stock FP1 before you flashed Eclipse and the kernel?

If so, then it sounds like you might just have to flash the superuser zip to get root back. I know some others have been having problems with losing root when updating. Here's the link to the su binary from androidsu.com.
[Verizon Droid Charge] talty09:
Thanks! I was on stock FP1 before I flashed so I did not need to flash back to the previous version and then OTA update. I appreciate the help!
[Verizon Droid Charge] dlang123:
Need to Root

Sounds like you just don't have root access. Do you have su installed? Did your rom come pre rooted?
[Verizon Droid Charge] talty09:
I got the Eclipse Rom 2.0. I would imagine that it would be rooted already but who knows..
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Eclipse is already rooted. The su binary is on the phone, but the problem is with permissions getting messed up during the kernel installation. It's a well documented problem and there are several solutions to it...the simplest is to just reflash the binary. dwitherell has an adb based solution over in the Tweaked thread.

[General Questions and Answers] Luiz Neme:
Hello everyone,

Recently I bought an LG-698 for my wife. She enjoys the phone very much, however it came with a problem, which I couldn't correct even after updating the Android version, via official site: the phone does not connect to the data services, no matter what I do.

I've even tried several different chips, from different phone companies, and still no go.

Since I´ve purchased the phone in a neighboring country, I cannot claim the warranty.

Does anyone know if this kind of problem can be solved by installing a mod rom, or is it something hardware related?

Also, if there is a possibility for it to be fixed by a new rom, where can I find it?

I'd appreciate any suggestions.
[Motorola Droid X2] ddyourself:
The whole reason for me to get a droid x2 is the for the camera. It sounds nice on the paper, but it takes a whole 3 seconds to start the camera. I mean, click the icon, count "1 Mississippi, ... ", sometimes even longer, like 5-8 seconds. My wife's DINC2 takes only a second to open the camera app.

I am still running stock rom, CM7 did not work well on my unit either. So, is there any other cure to this issue?

TIA
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I always had this issue with my camera so I am sorry that I can't offer any guidance here...I was unsatisfied with the camera as a whole maybe try HDR or Pudding camera they are way better alternatives to the stock camera anyway, in my opinion
[Motorola Droid X2] Drunkula:
Maybe try the sd speed increase app from the app store? Might help. Just a thought...
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Out of the box, my camera wasn't all that fast either. But on my X2 with CM7, the camera is almost instant. It's a world's difference. Even taking pics or switching from the album and back to the camera is no problem at all. I do have the SD Speed increase to 2048, but that's all. Not extra scripts or anything else other than CM7.

Clear out everything, flash back CM7 beta and download the SD speed increase. It's gotta be better than where you are at now.

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] cheatman:
Hey guys,

We were unable to run "adb root" and "adb remount" using the stock Kernel, so I modified it a bit to make it work. This package must be flashed using ODIN.

COMPATIBLE WITH ALL GT-P5100 / GT-P5110 MODELS RUNNING STOCK ROM!!!

=> STOCK ROM GT-P5100 / GT-P5110 / GT-P5113 MODELS (ALD7/ALD9)

=> Fry ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1691194)

Flash at your own risk! Kernel changes are dangerous. You have been warned.

Flashing your tablet using ODIN will void your warranty! Flashing this kernel will increase the counter in your bootloader GUI.

The zip is attached to this post. How to use:

=====================================================

========== Flashing the stock rooted KERNEL ================

=====================================================

1. Save and extract the zip file to a folder.

2. Shut down your tab.

3. Disconnect tab from USB and/or power cables.

4. Hold "Power+Volume UP" physical buttons on your tablet to initiate download mode.

5. Press "Volume DOWN" physical button on your tablet to confirm and enter ODIN mode.

6. On your PC, open "Odin3 v1.85.exe"

7. Press "PDA" button in ODIN and select the "espresso-any-root-kernel.tar.md5" file.

8. Connect your tablet using a USB cable. In ODIN you should see the device "<added>" message appear. If you do not, there is a problem with the Samsung drivers installation.

9. Confirm that only the following options are checked in ODIN: "Auto Reboot", "F. Reset Time", "PDA". DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION!!! NEVER!!!

10. Click the big "Start" button and wait a few seconds. Flashing the boot.img (will appear KERNEL in ODIN) is super-fast, so it'll just take a second!

11. After kernel flash, the tablet will reset automatically.

12. Congratulations you are now running a rooted kernel on your tablet.

Happy flashing and enjoy your rooted kernel!

Thanks,

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] cheatman:
Surely it will not work for WIFI-only devices. BUT! If you can unpack and repack a boot.img for that device, I can give you some pointers on what needs to be changed without a problem.

The problem was the "adbd" binary in the ramdisk. It needs a few hacks to get it working. Basically adb thinks it's running in secure mode even if ro.secure=0

Send a PM my way if you need help.

Nevermind! Apparently all the Tab2 models are so similar that they're running the exact same kernel!!! They are just identical, I tell you!

I am currently running the P5110 Korean Tab kernel on a European 5100 and even HSDPA connectivity works fine. In any case, flash the Kernel with ODIN (PDA button) and let me know if you can "adb root" into your tab.

Get it from the first post.

Perfection!!!!!!

Thanks a lot for your help on this one. We need more testers right now, but suffice to say that this means a LOT!

It means almost all if not ALL hardware in our devices is identical. This means OMG!!! All ROMs for all versions of this tab will function cross-platform. This is why the recovery from the 7" version works (almost) with our tabs. This is why my Fry ROM works fine on the GT-P5110/GT-P5113 (with minor issues)!

All devs will probably unite for these devices and we'll get to many places really, really fast!!!

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] kuronosan:
Well if you need a tester, I'm game. I love my tablet to death but I'm all for advancing the software. I looked at the source and I wish I had time to pick it apart and get back into coding but I just don't. :P

Does that mean I can flash the BAMF kernel for the P3113?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] cheatman:
Don't rush into things. It's ok to get excited, but patience is a virtue!

Certainly, there are considerable differences between the 10.1" and 7" if only in terms of size.

But, considering I have a stock restore ROM for my model (and you don't, yet!) I will try getting my hands dirty with their builds and report back. Or maybe report to them, lol.

In any event, for the time being, I think it's best to play it safe. If you want to get your hands dirty (you can always flash back the kernel in the OP here), fire away and let us know :-D

Cheers,

C.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] kuronosan:
I've never been one to play it safe. My fascinate's been reflashed hundreds of times in Odin and my Nexus has fallen victim to "how many times are you restoring your ROM again" syndrome.

Needless to say, cast all to the wind and see how much I can help you guys as far as flashing kernels go and I'll let you know as it's booting right now.

edit:

Okay, here goes:

Flashing a 7" Kernel causes several issues:

Boot animation breaks.

Screen size is 7", double-imaged similar to the recovery image.

Touchscreen is unresponsive.

Rotation/accelerometer sensors are backwards.

Everything else is fine.

edit2: No brick, reflashing your kernel works 100%.
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] cheatman:
Same finds as my own experience. Good to know that it boots though.

Seems like the screen as first would appear is the biggest problem after all.

Regardless, we now have a rooted kernel for all p51xx devices, which is perfect. I will try to make some more changes to it to allow it to perform better.

Thanks,
