[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktron2g:
I noticed something a few days ago while I was flashing the newest build of AOKP, and I was curious to see if anyone has noticed this or if it is just an issue for me. For as long as I can remember, every time I would flash a new ICS rom other than miui, all of the apps i had installed on my phone before the flash would automatically start downloading again upon the first boot on the new rom.

But as i said, upon flashing aokp build 40, remICS, paranoid android, and cm9, none of my apps from the play store have automatically restored. I tried all of them, being that there are different gapps packages for each rom, to see if it was a problem with the GAPPS package(s), but none of them worked. I also noticed that the GAPPS version had been changed for cm9 roms on the cyanogenmod wiki.

Can someone pleas explain to me what is going on, and what I need to do to get the feature of my apps restoring back. I tried searching but came up with nothing, any help is appreciated. Thanks, and have a good day!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktron2g:
thanks for the awesome help everybody, i knew i could count on you guys! (jkjk)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
System settings > backup and reset. Back up Google account. Once that's done it should start restoring apps in between builds of anything as long as you do it on that rom. For example you back up on cm and flash aokp... it won't work. But if you flash another cm build it will start restoring again. Oh . And you don't need to wipe data between builds... its unnecessary unless directed otherwise.

Hi guys, my note is rooted, and i want to install custom recovery. I am at stock rom ICS 4.0.3 (LPY).

Is it safe to use mobile odin to flash CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.zip

or CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.6-CWM5.zip ????

Which version to use???

Is it safe to flash with mobile odin??? or is there any other way to do it???

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmw2207:
you can use Mobile odin but don't use CF 5.3....USE THE CF 5.6 version.....you'll need to extract the zimage from the zip file and flash it through M/odin
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] praetorius:

OK just flashed and its ...well....its cm9...

I thought I was to see some kinda Raver magic....all I see different is a new tab in system settings called "advanced" and all it does is fc system settings....am I just missing something...or is that it?

I say dload it and give it a whirl, then you can tell if it's worth it or not.

The more roms you try the easier it gets to figure out which one works best for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
OK been running this one for a day now and all is good ....just the advance tab in settings is the only thing not functioning...probably due to not actually having a function atm.

Not sure if its due to not getting a lot of use this 24 hrs but battery seems to be lasting longer.

ffc is vertical as it should be,just a little bit distorted....I don't us it anyhow....just figured I'd look.

I can't say I'm 100% sure I notice any real differences from Brian's cm9 or not.....sorry for that.

Its rooted, with flashed stock ICS and the other day it stopped getting messages. I tried a lot of things from emptying the cache of the messaging app, to re installing the apex launcher. The only thing that worked was F-resetting my phone. then a couple days later it did it again. It hasnt done it yet again but if it does what should I do? I dont think I updated ICS, should I do that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
This is a difficult topic to search. anything with "3g, issues, connectivity, drop" brings up pretty much every thread possible lol.

I vaguely remember reading about people having problems with 3G not picking up/connecting a while back but havent heard much since.

It has been a constant issue with me as of late. I'll drop wifi when I leave work or my house and 3g picks up maybe....MAYBE 20% of the time(no exaggeration). ##data# to restore, updating profile, updating prl. Even tried a factory reset. No dice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dogie52:
Sprint data isn't the best. That just may be the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I dont think its sprint in this case. my 3VO had no problems. My GF's 4s has zero problems. Neighbors Nexus has no problems either.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Read about the various chipsets in the cells available, that will help understand why you see some throughout differences with other cells.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bootny:
If you searched for an answer you would know that they are upgrading to lte so therefore lte phones wont work well until rollout is complete hence reason why older phones work better
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gregfink:
Mine does the same thing. I have to reboot it about 3 times a day. It really stinks. The data will work after a reboot. It seems like the mobile connection gets stuck with switching from off to on.

Im going to the Sprint store to figure out if its my phone or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
Thanks for the heads up buddy :good:

I would understand if the Network Vision changes would affect everyone in an area. Not a specific phone. Like I said up above, a Nexus sitting right next to my phone all day yesterday never dropped 3g.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
Makes sense. If that is the case though. Arent S3 users out of luck too with this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mattemer:
Don't think it's the chipset necessarily. It will happen to me when I'm at 4-5 bars , then just drops, and gets locked out. Normally if I flip the network on and off a few times it will turn back on, but sometimes a reboot is needed.

Maybe I'm wrong, but doesn't seem like it is the network or the chipset. No?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mimmy721:
I was having 3g issues. Come to find out its the lte radio. Turned off my lte radio by network mode and made it cdma only. No problems since.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmacias:
I have this problem sometimes when I turn off mobile data and turn on wifi at home then leave and turn off wifi and turn on mobile data but it won't turn on. Turning airplane mode on then off to reset the radios fixes it for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
Thanks for the applicable replies everyone.

I just wasn't sure if I had missed a "fix" before I picked this up. The silence on the subject had me wondering. Guess we can only hope for an update/patch in the near future. Not a big issue but an annoyance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
Mine's been acting up the last 3 days or so. I used to run it all the time in LTE/CDMA mode. And that was fine for a month.

But being in one of the first LTE markets, that doesnt work anymore. It flashes turning on.. very quickly disconnected, then turning on.. over and over. If I put it in CDMA only, 3g pops right on and it's no problem.

One of my coworkers in another part of town is still on lte/cdma with no problems. I went to the sprint store to verify it was just them working on things and they said it was, and the employee had the same issue with her phone.

They said by all means, if it still doesnt work come the 15th bring it back in but at this point.. Just a waiting game i believe. Also, since my coworkers is still working that should mean I'm going to see LTE, and he probably won't right off the bat. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
I also had connection issues when using the "LTE/CDMA" setting. Switched to "CDMA only" and it connects reliably, now.

As others have said, I imagine it's because it's trying to connect to towers that are being tested and can't. Switching to "CDMA only" prevents it from trying to connect to these towers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
Funny. It is backwards for me lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] CrackedTech:
I've been having a ton of problems with this too. Constantly seems to be dropping even though I have full bars; does it on WiFi too. I'm switching over to CDMA only and will see if that helps me out. Hopefully we'll be seeing LTE here in St. Louis before to much longer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
i don't have any trouble with the wifi dropping out, but right on par with what everyone else is seeing on the 3g. except that the only way i can get mine to come back is to reboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gregfink:
This is exactly what happens to me. Wifi, no problems. 3g - reboot about 2-3 times a day to get it back. Mobile network just gets stuck on "turning on"

At least I know its other people now, so I don't try to return the phone and then get even more pissed when I get another one doing the same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
that's where i'm at. i've read elsewhere that the OG EVO had a similar/same issue when it first came out that was soon corrected by an update. buddy with a Bionic on VZW said he has a similar problem on it when he first got it, then an update fixed.

i'm new to HTC so i don't know how anxious to get for an OTA. samsung was absolutely horrible with my Transform. Got Froyo like 4 or 5 months after promised

in the meantime i might try this to disable smart-sync which actually links back to here. but that's how i came across it

Hello ,

I flashed a new rom ( CM 7.2 ) few days ago and it worked great .

I installed then the Radio pack to get my GPS working , and then it also went good.

But today I say that my bottom bar ( with menu bar and phone ) disappeared .

So I rebooted the phone . It started well , until it found network signal .

The moment it finds carrier signal , the phone reboots automatically .

If I change it to Airplane mode immediately after boot , the phone stands good . If I change to Airplane mode OFF , then it reboots .

I tried reflashing Cyanogenmod 7.2 again ( wiped dalvik cache , factory reset and wipe cache ) , but nothing . Still the same .

I also changed my SIM to a new one , but no effect .

Anybody can advice me please ?

Thanks

What program to use ? I used one but forgot the name 8-| .

It does not work using CWM because gives me some writing error about edify.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lo2ay:
flash latest radio, which is Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.20.10.zip i think.

And you need to install it from CWM v2.5.x

You can install this older recovery from rom manager. Then you can install radio software. And when done, just reinstall whatever CWM version you had from rom manager too ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd3rul:

[HTC Sensation] MozzUK:
Hi there,

First-time poster, long-time lurker.

I'm looking to restore a UK Orange branded Sensation to stock and have, after searching, been unable to find details matching my exact situation. I'd be grateful for any help.

Basically Stock Orange (branded) Sensation OTA'd to ICS 4.0.3 (bought 2nd hand).

The bootloader is HTCdev unlocked.

The phone has been rooted using hasoon2000's all-in-one kit with Clockworkmod 5.8.0.9. and SuperSU 0.93.

I'd like to factory restore the phone using an Orange UK RUU.

No pre-installed bloatware has been deleted or modified.

The phone is S-On (and never was S-Offed - CID has not been changed).

Should I proceed in the following order:

1. Backup using CWM and Titanium backup

2. Uninstall SuperSU/remove root

3. lock the bootloader

4. Use the Orange UK Pyramid RUU (RUU_Pyramid_Orange_UK_1.35.61.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198549_signed) from here: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 to perform a full system restore

Will the RUU be able to restore the system considering it is already running ICS 4.03?

Also, I'm puzzled by the Baseband versions and Build numbers.

The phone is:

Kernel Version: 3.0.16-gc764bfb

Baseband version: 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_m2

Build number: 3.32.61.14

It doesn't seem to match up with the available Orange UK RUU. Will this be a problem?

Again, grateful for any input.

Thanks.

This is NOT a case for those who want the best protection possible. I am someone who has always gone naked on all previous phones but after my Galaxy s2 took several spills and I had to sell it for less, I finally decided I should have something. I took a chance on this because it was 5 dollars and free shipping.

I bought black and grey and I love it! It doesn't protect the top and bottom as many slim cases don't but this is a great case if you are debating going without one. I prefer the grey as in the link below since I have the Blue GS3 and it's also semi transparent so you can still see the Sprint Logo and the Galaxy S III one. The black looks good as well.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grey-Smoke-...ccessories&hash=item3a759bf29d#ht_1999wt_1198

Granted I'm in Los Angeles, but only took two days to get here on free shipping. The lip does come up just in the slightest so it's perfect for me. The pictures of the case on the phone are taken with a old, old phone, sorry about that. No other camera.

Recently, a few of my keys on the left side have been acting up. They still work, I just have to push them very hard. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I am betting it is because of the many time I've dropped it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Adam.h.ogle:
I have the same problem, epsecially with my A and alt keys. Very annoying.
[Motorola Droid 3] StevePritchard:
I have a feeling it's just a general design fault - I'm having the same problem with the XT860. It feels very similar to the problems associated with the Milestone/Droid 2 which lacked the appropriate "debounce" functionality.

[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
This. My old M2 had the same problem. Was a mix of lack of debounce driver and natural degradation of the keys
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
Well that sucks. I am always missing "a"s now. Also, I just noticed this while typing this message, certain keys are now doubling some times. I guess I'll switch to just using the on screen keyboard in preparation for my next device.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
That's what I've been doing. I never touch the hard keyboard. Try swiftkey keyboard. It learns from your typing, once you've been using it for awhile it gets quite accurate for prediction

I have a lot of keys with the same problem, i want to fix it in a motorola representant.

i can´t fix it ?

That´s a shame.
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
Yes you can. The double letters can be fixed with a debounce driver, folks interested in porting it to the M3/D3 check out M2 android dev forum, there is a thread about it. Or you can ask Motorola to change your keyboard.

I'm another in favor of SwiftKey. It's just great. It also works for the hw keyboard, if anyone is interested

Ya I was having big problems with the left side of the spacebar but I just pressed it hard and a lot and I think I fixed it. I was having trouble with Alt, but then I found out I wasn't holding it down when I wanted say a "?". I'm not sure if that's what's supposed to happen but it works for me now
[Motorola Droid 3] StevePritchard:
Possible solution?

FWIW (and I realise it's early days) but I swamped my keyboard in lubricating switch cleaner a few hours ago, and now I've managed to type this message without any keyboard anomolies at all.

Perhaps the "degrading" is due to a build up of crud under the keys?

If the keyboard continues to work like this, then I'm a happy chap, even if my phone does smell a bit at the moment. ;-)

Obviously, I can only advise you to do this at your own risk. If people are interested in the exact stuff I used, then let me know, and I'll dig it out when I get home later.

Cheers,

Steve
[Motorola Droid 3] AragornPE:
Check M2 forum. It's on legacy devices section.

Also, if you send the phone to warranty and they take more than a month to fix your problem, you can ask for a new unit. It's written on the consumer rights.

Wow, lubricant. I never thought of it. What kind, brand, how did you do that, yadda yadda yadda you know the drill =p

Edit: here is the M2 topic about debouncing module. Might give it a try.

[Motorola Droid 3] StevePritchard:
I've tried the MS2 debounce app, and it wouldn't load the module for me. :-(

The way I cleaned my keyboard was to spray it with Servisol Super 10 Switch Cleaning Lubricant. I sprayed enough so that the keyboard was totally flooded with liquid, and then tried to work it into the underside of the keys through pressing, rubbing, and spraying (lightly) with an air duster can. I repeated this 3 or 4 times, and then wiped off the residue with a cloth. I haven't seen any repeat behaviour of the sticking or non-responsive keys since I did that - how long it will last, of course, I've no idea, but I would definitely class it as "fixed" for now.
