I thought I lost my galaxy s2, I called in the insurance and got my replacement, but I now found it, already paid my 100 bucks. Is it possible to turn it into a galaxy player? I wanna turn it on but I don't want it to look for a signal. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
...Go into an elevator or other area where signals will almost guaranteed be blocked and turn on airplane mode immediately after turning on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
Yea just keep it in airplane mode and turn off data and only use Wifi.

I have a 3d that I use in this way....just turn on airplane mode and you can still have wifi etc and the battery will last ages because you have the radio off.....

I did the same thing when I had my evo 4g and when I found it I turned it on and all was well. I went on sprint to try and swap it to see if it was still usable and to my suprise it activated. So I sold it and never heard or got charged anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
Once they activated the replacement, shouldnt it not have signal anyways?

And how long did it take to get the replacement?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nfamisnme:
It still shows the signal coverage 1x, but not 3g, nor does anything work as far as making calls or utilizing the sprint data network. I received the replacement the next day air free of charge via fedex.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] furlessxp:
So I just rooted my Motorola Droid since my contract expired with Verizon. I'm using this phone as practice so I'm not afraid to brick it. After using the superoneclick method to root the phone, it installs superuser fine, and I can access the app. I installed ROM manager for obvious reasons and every time I try to flash a recovery, it freezes at the point where the app is supposed to ask me for superuser permissions. I tried using titanium backup and it is not asking for permissions either. I then go into the superuser app and did the "Tap to check for updates" under the Su binary v3.0.3 label. The update fails every time on the "Gaining root access..." step. I tried unrooting and rerooting and everything. I went into the superuser settings and set the automatic response to "allow" and am still getting nothing. I have also force closed superuser, and then cleared all the data before restarting.

Am I just missing something important? Or am I just unlucky to the point where nothing I ever try in regards to rooting works the way it is supposed to?

A couple of posters have asked about rooting the Aluratek Cinepad tablet

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312927&page=70

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1605509&page=26

Granted that they inserted their queries into on-going threads. And also granted that they probably blew right past the video and this form’s norms when they registered. But no one even attempted to help them. Their questions were simply ignored.

This Aluratek (same folks who did the Libre for Boarders) is a rebranded Chinese tablet. Or perhaps being kinder to Aluratek you could say they spec’s a tablet and had it manufactured in China becuasue there are a few differences between the Cinepad and what is sold in China.

This tablet is currently being sold by Newegg, Tiger Direct, Walmart, Sears, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, etc. So this forum is likely to see an increasing number of questions about them

It appears that rooting the Cinepad may be as simple as running the program Unlock Root against it. (free at http://www.unlockroot.com/)

The base tablet that Aluratek modified slightly to come up with the Cinepad is the Yongxiang company’s YX 10A03. The 10” Aluraek lists its Model number (Settings->About Tablet) as YX 10A03 and shows a build number of ics.f33ref.20120329.

The Unlock Root website lists as tested devices two unbranded MID tablets both with model numbers of YX 10A03 and both with build numbers of ics.f33ref.20120XXX – within a few hundred of the Cinepad build.

I would be quite surprised if Unlock Root did not do the trick

USE AT OWN RISK!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firestorm005:
I was hoping that someone would have a try at a custom rooted rom actually, because the firmware that Aluratek provides is basically unstable. I won mine from Quibids, and before the first week it had lost its mount points for the internal sdcard and of course my external sdcard. They provided me with a beta firmware that fixed that, but before I could really test it, the power button broke from the board. I sent it back, and here about 2 months later I now have a replacement tablet (definitely not the same unit). I find that the firmware on it matches the beta they had me flash the first tablet with, however this thing is definitely unstable. They told me it would have video issues, and in fact the Youtube app (no version I have it seems) will work on the thing. Well... long story made short, I am about to reflash the thing for about the 7th time tomorrow. It likes getting into boot loops for no discernible reason, and then seemingly comes out of them (sometimes) for some unknown reason also. It frustrates me to no end to have to reboot it, but it is necessary at times since it loses mountpoints for the sdcards just like the first one did originally from time to time. Rebooting it clears it up... that is unless it decides to start looping. Its kind of like a slot machine... never know when it will win or lose.

I am not complaining. I won it at a good price off of Quibids... and Quibids very generously provided me with an Archos 80 G9 to replace it... even though they knew that Aluratek would get around to sending me a replacement... eventually. So, no complaints here. But, it has become kind of a challenge for me. Its kind of hard to believe that the Archos and the Aluratek retails for about the same... since there really is no comparison in quality and stability. I have become an Archos and a Quibids fan.

Rooting it alone is not enough... the firmware itself is unstable. I wish I could find something that was halfway stable because I think it will be some months before Aluratek gets something past beta. It is actually not that bad of a tablet and this firmware gives it a lot of memory to work with. It has beautiful video and bright colors and a pretty good resolution. It has a mixture of good to average hardware, but not really what I would call cheap really. The problem is the firmware mostly... and a very badly designed power button that will break off very easily if you aren't really careful. I mean, it has built-in bluetooth... its not a bad deal if it would just be stable.

I was hoping that someone more experienced than I am would take the challenge since so many of these are being sold right now. I am only now becoming more familiar with the inner workings of Android. I have a fair amount of hardware and software experience mainly in PC's, but until this year have never gotten into Android. Now, I somehow have 4 tablets all different sizes and brands, and each have their own points and quirks. The Aluratek is the quirkiest. If anyone knows of a custom "stable" firmware for this tablet, I would appreciate the help. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firestorm005:
Thank you SerialQ

Rooting the Aluratek Cinepad brought such a dramatic change in making it stable for the first time, I just had to come back here

and thank you

for the tip on this Chinese program. It is a "tad" confusing since it mostly Chinese (outside of the word ROOT - pretty self-explanatory), and had a little trouble since the thing shut down at one of the reboots instead of rebooting. I found another set of instructions that said you have to let it reboot 3 times before it is finished. I had to help it by pushing the reset on the 3rd boot and then starting it, but it worked and now the tablet is sound and zooming right along. I have a presentation tomorrow and I am thinking of using it instead of my Archos.

Thanks once again... that was a great help to me.

Hi firesorm005,

i´m really glad that i was able to help you. In fact i had the same issues (including the broken powerbutton) with my yx 10a03.

since i rooted the device it is also running, except of the WIFI, stabel now.

If you like, you can try some build.prop tweaks to give the device more perfomance and optmize the power-savings.

you can find many tutorials when you google for it.

Use them with care and as always at own risk ;)

have fun

2 down

I have an Aluratek Cinepad 7"

I got my Win7 machine to recognize the tablet, but Unlock Root couldn't ever find it (tried all 3 types of USB connections).

Then I tried ZhuoDaShi Tool, but the screenshots at the techrepublic link were different from the app (looked like the same app, but different version). I clicked every button on the app, but wasn't able to find one that would lead to actually doing something to the tablet.

Anyone have any new ideas?

Aluratek Cinepad AT108F

So, I just bought this tab and it'll be here on Friday compliments of J&R by way of Amazon. It hasn't any ratings (probably because it's new) and I don't see ANY threads for ROMs for this model or ANY Aluratek model for that matter.

The specs are INCREDIBLE for this price point and PERFECT for my tablet needs/desires. However, I'm quite concerned about the lack of dev support. While I know this model won't EVER be a highly purchased item because of the off-brand, it does have a common A9 Cortex processor that many other higher-end tablets are outfitted with. I must be looking in the wrong places. Does anyone have any links to share?

I managed to root my AT110f using Rootburner-v0.2, using the second advanced option. When the program wants to reboot the screen goes black and will not come back on, you have to press the reset button first as the power button is dead. (you have to do this 3 times on the rootburner app)

Just installed the 6/01 nightly for EB. Everything seems to work as advertised. I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue with Gmail.

Whenever I send something, it stays in the Outbox marked as "Sending" and never makes it out. I get pushes from incoming mail instantly, and the rest of the mail seems to sync perfectly.

I did not have this with the previous version of the ROM. Anyone else see something similar??

I am about to uninstall/reinstall Gmail. If that works, I will edit... otherwise, assume that it didn't.

TIA

Jason

---- EDIT ----

Turns out, that worked... the only thing was, there is no trace of the original messages that I tried to send. The Outbox was emptied, and everything lost.

Hopefully if someone else has this same issue, they can copy/paste any important mail text before reinstalling gmail.

Cheers!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] massiveian:
So I know alot of us are having issues with data speed on our Evo 4G LTE's

Im doing a comparison test using speedtest.net. Because I dont have both devices activated at the same time, I had to do it on one then activate the other and do it on that as well. The phones were placed in the exact same location using the exact same tower, which I am about 1000 feet from.

Evo 4g LTE

- signal strength 3 bars -94 dBm

Evo 4g

- signal strength 4 bars -88 dBm

Now I know this information is slightly off because of the time difference but as you can see the speeds vary greatly. I am going to keep my Evo 4g LTE for a few more days to see if sprint does anything about this.

Things I have done to try and fix the speed issues:

-reset the phone

-reprovision the phone using my MSL

-update PRL

-update profile

-I tested another Evo 4g LTE and got the same dismal results

In one of the posts on here, there's reference to some optimized network settings. I wonder if that will help.

I don't have the link handy, nor do I recall book marking/subscribing to it. Effectively, it optimizes tcp/ip settings, similar to what was done when going from dialup to dsl/cable; larger receive window buffers and a few other changes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] massiveian:
Sorry I started this thread comparing both phones from 4 different locations on different towers at the same time but for whatever reason none of the screen shots saved on my EVO 4G LTE and I had already switched phones out 4 times and was getting tired of it. But in 3 of the 4 locations the original EVO out shined the 4G LTE. Only in a parking lot with blue skys were the 2 devices similar in speed.

Poor Connections - hardware or software?

Massiveian-

Thanks a ton for doing that. I've been keeping a running log of my speed tests on the LTE and was planning to re-initialize the OG 4G to make a similar comparison. You saved me the effort.

Basically your data is pretty clear that the LTE is running approximately 5X fslower than the old 4G on the same exact network setup.

This in my view brings the problem squarely bacj to the phone.

Do you think its fixable? H/W (antenna etc. ) or a S/W problem?

I'm kind thinking that the device and radio are designed for the supposed LTE network and that it's simply suboptimal running on the 3G network and the only thing that's going top work is emergence of LTE network, but based on the "4G" i'm not going to hold my breath.

I'm seeing that this is a real dealbreaker for a lot of users. I'v had the phone since pre-order so its now probably like 2 weks and basically I can't get alot of use out of it.

I'm dialing *2 for sprint in the am and going back to the evo 4g until this is resolved.

I'm frustrated because I got a galaxy s@ and it also had really bad connections, now I thought lte would be the one, but looks like I'm going to wait longer.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RG129:
That ping seems long even for the OG EVO getting 1+ MB/s. Is your GPS picking a server close to you?

For all the people with data connection problems, where are you located? There's been talk about 1st stage LTE rollout cities having their towers heavily worked on to push out LTE which I'm assuming which will affect our data connectivity.

I'm in San Francisco and have noticed horrible speeds in pockets of the city, but will be perfectly normal a few blocks over after switching towers. This makes me fairly certain it's a network issue and not phone issue.

Also, I work in San Jose which is a 2nd stage LTE city (weird how they split the Bay Area into 2 regions) and I've never seen data connectivity issues around there.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mastarifla:
Although the phone itself is fantastic I really cant recommend it based on the data/network performance... and its really unsettling because the build quality is fantastic and I wanted them to really outshine the competition. I bought a case for it, stuck a screen protector on it, made sure it was all good and ready for the long haul and now I'm thinking of returning it.

Here in Dallas with a 3G speed of 157kbps, you just cant do anything with it. I have to feed off my local wi-fi in order to do anything data related with my phone (thankfully that signal is amazing, 12Mbps).

But now after trying multiple roms, multiple settings, different PRL's I have ran out of options and my 14 days are almost up, I guess the only thing I can do is return it and get my NS4G back until I can test other phones.

It's a ****ing shame, I love the capabilities of this phone, but the speed I'm getting is horrendous.

Data seems much faster on the EVO LTE vs my photon and og EVO. Also, the ability to use 3G data while on the phone on the LTE is a HUGE benefit. Wait for the upgrades, speeds will increase for everyone on 3G as well as LTE.

Also, EVERY new phone has the same exact threads and discussions about how oh my god data is so much slower on this new phone -I'm gonna return it!! Well put the same phone on Verizon's PRL and it works just fine for data speeds. Point being, it's not the phone it's the network-WHICH IS BEING UPGRADED. wait for the upgrades or jump to Verizon.
