[Motorola Atrix 2] DusThis:
Have you tried booting your phone in BP Tools and tried it? I would think that it would read your board as long as MOT software is preventing that from happening... When you load BP Tools it allows access to a composite ADB interface.

I may have no idea what I'm talking about.....

**EDIT: when I said composite ADB interface, I was looking at the device, it does also have a COM named Motorola QC Diag Port that Linux should pick up based on the Arduino site....
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I'll try, however the main way of doing it does not use adb. that is a work around for when the normal method does not work, which I may have to use.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mightyI:
Hi,

I have 2 questions:

First

Is the power Button on your devices jiggling to? Mine seems to have one contact point in the middle but both ends (top & bottom) can be pressed down a little bit without actually pressing the button. You can feel this very good with going up and down over the key with a little preassure...

Second

There are two capacitive buttons on the device as you know: the options and the back button. I dont know if its made by design but my back button isnt as responsive as the option one. Sometimes it misses presses. Especially if i press really soft. The option button is catching all actions no matter if hard or soft. This happens mostly when backlight of the back button is off.

Could you please check this on your units.

I love this phone but these both little things drive me crazy. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Yeah my power button's the same so only time will tell if it's badly designed, and both capacitive buttons feel about the same, and if anything I find the screen a bit too sensitive.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidpixar:
Do you mean the home button or the power button on the top right side of the unit?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _mightyI:
I mean the Power Button on the side of the unit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frikid:
MY friend(x8) and I(galaxy y) were just discussing which phone is better.

He says there is cyanogenmod on his phone also, ICS roms are also out.

then i showed him this site :p

http://geekaphone.com/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-Y-vs-Sony-Ericsson-Xperia-X8

The info is not reliable, i know but he don't :rolleyes:

So we had a long long argument....

And i came to conclusion, to ask in xda itself.

But i was also feeling kinda bad for my galaxy y, as it does not have such a good base(i.e number of posts and members) as compared to xperia x8, and also is in list of "low activity devices".

Anyways , what do ya guys think , Xperia X8 is better or galaxy y ?

Please give an honest opinion and not favour the phone which YOU HAVE.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DD-Ripper:
Sorry mate, but

Xperia X8 is a beast compared to Galaxy Y. The X8 has better RAM, bigger Screen, better resolution and mainly a "2x faster and better GPU" than Galaxy Y which doesnt have any GPU.

Check out this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh9MtIxZZhs

"Fast 5" can run on X8 but galaxy y cant.

Edit:

And that site is a ****. 320x480 (x8) is a lower resolution compared to 240x320 (galaxy y)..???? In what world!!?

3.2mp is less than 2mp...? That site is really a ****.

I've tried to move Swiftkey 3 keyboard to the system partition with titanium backup pro but it keeps force closing, when I done this with Swiftkey X, it had worked perfectly without any force closing. My question is, Is there any way to move Swiftkey 3 keyboard to the system partition without any force closes? (Same with swype beta)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
Try also moving /data/data/com.touchtype.swiftkey/lib/* to /system/lib/*

Check that permissions suit the target although this should be automatic. Reboot, may work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rijon99:
Thanks for the reply, but when I moved it to the system partition with titanium backup, that file is already moved to /system/lib/ with the correct permissions already. I don't know why this isn't working but it worked perfectly with Swiftkey X
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
No problem, good luck.

Have a look at logcat when you launch the app and it crashes for some pointers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rijon99:
It appears that titanium backup didn't work properly when moving to the system partition. I manually moved the lib file to /system/lib/ then converted Swiftkey 3 to a system app and it worked (It also worked for Swype beta.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
wow thanks i been trying to figure this out for the longest time...

Does this work with other apps that FC after moving to system?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
If they're FC'ing because of a missing library, normally yes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
Is there a way to tell? or do I need to manually check using root explorer to see if the library was moved for each app that force closes?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
Yep, a look at the logcat will tell you if an .so file is missing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazemitsui:
how do i look at that?

and thanks for all your help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmcnz:
It's the Android system log, you can use an application like Logger on the Play Store or others, there are many of them (search for "logcat"). Or you can use adb which is as simple as "adb logcat > log.txt" to capture the log to a text file but you need adb set up for that.

Capturing the log is a smart idea because you'll need to search it for the errors you're looking for.

It may be easier to move a suspect .so file to /system/lib/ set the permissions and reboot to see if it solves the problem - it's possibly faster than determining whether it's causing the problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
i thought this would be the best place for a problem i started having about2 weeks ago. i am on vodafone uk.

i used to get 3-4 of the 4 bars reception while sitting at home(as an example). suddenly i was getting 1-2 and sometimes none (all blank).

i thought i would try and eliminate things one by one so here is what i did...

checked with my sim in another phone and another sim in mine. from memory the other phone having my sim was slightly down but not much and my phone with the other sim didnt really change much.

i checked with vodafone by calling them, they said they couldnt see any problems on the network, birmingham uk, but would send a new sim, after getting the sim activated when it arrived, no better. their onling forum is still waiting for a response back from their technical whether there is any problems. i dont see how the phone department can instantly tell me when the technical need many days to find an answer.

i thought it could be the rom so i first updated lite'ning rom to resurrection remix and then to a later version of RR and no change. the newest version of RR has a different kernel, flux i think, than the siyah in the 2 previous roms but again that different kernel didnt improve it. lastly i even changed the modem/radio trying to different ones to the default, xxlpx and kh3 and again no difference.

the only thing that improves it is turning 2G on instead of 3G. the bars go back up to 3-4. even with 3G on previously as i never changed it before it was always fine.

i know this is a long post but i wanted to be thorough as i really appreciate any help as i am now lost as what could improve this.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSThing:
I have been having a similar problem on Three for about five weeks now. Despite numerous reloads of Android and modems etc I was getting no results, 5mb dl speeds have dropped to around 150kb despite having a good signal.

After many many calls to so called customer service I have discovered that a new cell tower near to me has been activated as part of the network expansion program and because this cell is closer to me than the one I used to connect to I now get a stronger signal from this so my phone always chooses this. Problem is this cell has only got a 2mb feed INTO it, its a TMobile/Orange cell now being shared with Three....so I am basically fooked.

Check with Vodafone if they have done anything similar recently near you. Three are adamant there are no problems my end, technically they are correct I suppose, its all working, I just cant access the net without it timing out constantly now.

I am having the same issue with my phone. I get only one bar (sometimes none!) whenever I'm home & I'm on WiFi; however, I get full signal strength when I'm out & on 3G.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
i thought it could be the cell tower thing as there is only 1 vodafone one in quite a large radious, about 2 miles, and many of all the other networks. i dont know why vodafone are happy to have 1 compared to at least 3-4 each for all other providers.

this morning i drove that 1 mile to the vodafone mast and ran fresh network and surely that would have connected to that as i was 5 meters from it. still no better. ??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt_att:
i do have the same problem as above, no signal in the building and 50% signal outside building. I swithch my SIM with fren's (he use another telco), and his SIM not work on my S2 and my SIM work on his phone (not SIM issues).

I tested many modem as recommented , LP2/LP3, LP9, LPX, KI3, KI4, KF2, no luck.

I flash different ROM, (some old version that work before), from CM9, AOKP, Sammy. no luck.

I restore old back up ROM. no luck

Fix permission, no luck.

any advice ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trooperjohn:
OK next step is to flash a different modem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
i've tried a few modems including the ones people believe better, all have this problem so far.

it may be the network mast in my case. i discussed with vodafone what 3G mast i was connected to and then which 3G mast is next closest. i then went right next to that other 3G mast and the signal was full bars, no fluctuation at all. this surely means it is either, 1-the network mast i keep locking to having problems or 2-all the modems i have used favouring battery over strength and not getting enough power to get a good signal.

is there a way of finding out which modems are better for battery and which are better for signal strength?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trooperjohn:
Umm not that I know of, best thing to do for that is either research the modems for better strength or battery etc, or just test some yourself, however that is time consuming,

Personally I think it is just the mast having problems, however I may be wrong
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
i thought i would add a little research to this thread, not too much but just my experience with 3 specific modems.

the background is that recently i have started getting very poor network signal as i believe the closest 3g mast to me is having problems. if i turn to 2g its better as the phone then connects to the closest 2g tower which gives better network signal.

i know that a modem should be left for 2-3 days before judging but i thought that if a modem is currently better than another then that is only likely to stay the same with time as long as they were given the same short period of time.

i used the app network signal info and did 3 5 minute tests for each modem and then averaged the percentage of the signal and also averaged the -dbm also.

i first used the modem i currently had on there, BUKI1

- average percentage was 19%

- average -dbm was -103

both very poor scores

the signal was very jumpy up and down also

i then flashed the custom modem, i think by krs007, M250S

- average percentage was 44.6%

- average -dbm was -90.66

obviously a huge increase

the signal was very steady, hardly changing from that average

lastly i flashed NELP3

- average percentage was 30.66%

- average -dbm was -97.33

better than at first but not as good as M250S

i am now going to let M250S bed in for a few days while keeping my eye on here for how NELP4 performs but so far i have a huge increase in signal in a previously very poor area. as this is also due i believe to the tower having problems, hopefully it will only get better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happily1986:
Try downloading OpenSignalMaps from Google Play Store. For starters, you can determine the approximate location of the offending cell tower (if the cell tower was indeed the culprit). Sometimes, i realise that the phone tends to stick to certain cell towers when others are in closer range and could purportedly provide a better radio link. For this, the app provides a refresh feature that allows you to manually trigger a cell tower refresh. I am aware that most apps requiring connectivity have this feature but i don't suppose you can call the refresh on trigger.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SSThing:
Hi Marc

Tracked down a copy of M250S(dont know if its the same as you have installed though), and very briefly, as in 30 secondsish, I had 4 bars and dl`s around 5mb again!.But midway through it dropped out and that seems to be the pattern. Seems to be having problems locking onto a cell, signal bars frequently grey out, maybe its a compatibility issue with CM9, I dont know.

Anyway, let us know how you get on,

Cheers

Chris
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
it probably is the same as i dont think any others have that name.

it probably just needs to bed in for a few days. i have noticed mine go between 3g and H quite regular but it always does that, i havent had any dropped calls or similar so far.

[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
Defy officially doesn't have support for CWM Touch, who other devices have. However, there is a few devices with similar hardware with official support like Optimus Black.

Maybe with porting this, we can have a full compatibility with nandroids made by original CWM Recovery.

Right now, i have extracted ramdisk from CWM Touch Recovery, but really don't know which files a have to touch in order to port sucessfully to our Defy.

A little research about it, show me that i have to make changes in:

+ default.prop

+ init.rc

+ ueventd.goldfish.rc

+ ueventd.rc

+ /etc/recovery.fstab

* and, make a new uevent.moto.rc instead of ueventd.lge.rc

Someone wants to join on this project?

i'm attaching files from extracted ramdisk.

[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
You can't compile Touch-CWM because source currently is not public.

But Koush made a Builder: http://builder.clockworkmod.com/

Ich made a CWM-Version for our defy with his builder and compiled it to an update-package for our lovely bootmenu :)

This replaces "Custom Recovery"... Have Fun!

oops my bad just realised it just for porting CWM if your device is not already supported :( .... thanks for the link m11kkaa...
[Defy Android Development] kadopt:
Just flashed it and it works fine! I'm using ics with froyo kernel. It will work with any Rom because we only have froyo and gingerbread kernels. The version of cwm was 5.8.4.3. Remember that to use custom recovery you must launch it from the bootmenu, the reboot to recovery from the power menu launches the stable recovery.
[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
I also installed the touch CWM recovery, it looks gud but not better than TWRP.

I tried to restore a nandroid made by normal cwm recovery but it showed MD5 mismatch, I restored the same nandroid with the help of normal recovery. It seems that more work needs to be done but its surely a very gud step forward.
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
You're right... it can't compile from source, but there is a workaround: Extract defy kernel from recovery.img of defy and modify the ramdisk that i provide, re-pack it in recovery.img with kernel extracted from defy recovery.img... That's why i was trying to modify the CWM official from another device.

Step by step to do this:

1. Use Linux

2. Get mkbootfs & mkbootimg

3. Get split_boot.zip

4. Grab a boot.img or recovery.img

5. Split it with following code:

6. Examine

7. You will have two new files based on whatever file name you gave above

kernel will have "-kernel"

YES this is the kernel (compressed) for this .img

you have successfully extracted the kernel

you cannot edit these

you can mix and match

if I know the kernel from older boot works I can just use it with my newly edited ramdisk

ramdisk will have "-ramdisk.gz"

feel free to rename

8. Unpack Ramdisk

9. Examine

In all ramdisk you will have a few folders and files:

data

dev

etc

proc

res

images for recovery go here

sbin

the actually recovery binary goes here

also adbd

sys

system

tmp

default.prop

init

init.goldfish.rc

init.rc

init.yuhua.rc

init.yuhua.sh

initlogo.rle

10. Pack-up Ramdisk

11. Back to IMG

use file good file names! Or you might end up with many test tries and cannot figure out what you did for each

Here you can mix and match kernels

12. Now Flash via recovery or something

All files are attached in zip.

[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
You know that defy has locked bootloader and we can't boot modified boot/recovery-images?
[Defy Android Development] espaciosalter20:
That's partially true. We can't boot modified boot img but it is possible with modified recovery img because we don't mess up with kernel or bootloader. Other Motorola locked devices gets cwm touch officially and even we can't have cwm if modified recovery img was not supported.

[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
1) I still don't understand what your "solution" has todo with the fact that the source of Touch-CWM is not public and we only have a web-based builder.

2) Currently we start CWM through bootmenu which works fine and I don't know why you want to modify the stock recovery-image.

However you can't modify the recovery-image in anyway because the complete image is signed, and not the kernel only

[Defy Android Development] @non4:
Does clockworkmod touch have any extra features compared to original? (Apart from touch input :P) I ask because I switched over to teamwin last week and love it! The compression option leaves so much more space on my sdcard after backups, also the zip queuing is great and wipes of any kind are faster. My only complaint is it flashes CM7 builds about half the speed clockworkmod does it, but still an awesome recovery, only other problem I guess is if I got a soft brick and had to flash sbf there's no way to install it which means I would have to flash it after flashing 2ndinit, which is one advantage of this if its ported properly as I could restore a backup faster when disaster strikes

[Defy Android Development] brajesh.sharma87:
no extra feature, its all same only touch included. :)

and dont u have normal cwm recovery in stable recovery? AFAIK Twrp replaces the custom recovery only, isn't it true?
[Defy Android Development] @non4:
Actually it's the custom recovery that stays as clockworkmod for me, I have the touch bootmenu. But I mean the kind of soft brick where only bootloader and stock recovery work, and I don't know any way to.install teamwin from stock froyo without having clockworkmod to flash it
