any luck?

Any luck ?

If so - how do? I've replaced the old Vigor_VZW_bootanimation.zip with the new one. Nothing happens - black screen
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
Yea I got it working, forgot about this thread :P Just give me your boot animation and your rom the same ill just do it for you :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Lockon_Stratos:
Can't get mine to work

Can you help me I have CleanRoms as well and have tried replacing the Vigor one with mine. I named it Vigor_VZW_bootanimation like them but mine doesn't work it just gives me a black screen as well and nothing else. I renamed both the old Vigor one to .old and the hTC_bootanimation to .old as well. Please tell me what you did to get yours to work thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] TheNightHawk223:
You have to name it as "boot.zip" and put it in /resources/customization (sorry if I spelt that wrong). If it still shows a black screen just give me your boot animation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Lockon_Stratos:
Got it to work!

Thanks for your help I also found another way. I used this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1556613 and it finally worked. I just need to make my animation a bit longer and thats it. Thanks again!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] crzy619:
Anytime I go to 7-11. Sometimes once a day and end of the day when I get home for my textile. Currently I have the stock one on cuz It got annoying to pull my case off and battery cover to use but each their own. If u hardly use nfc it wont matter that much. I do agree tho the phone feels alot more solid with it on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BlackDino:
Weird, I have the casemate brushed aluminum case and my nfc works fine?

Just got my blue version of this battery door in today. Love it! Looks way better than the stock door, makes the phone feel like higher quality, adds a little weight, and snaps on tighter than the stock door. So far testing it in my house, my wifi signal and cell signal are the same with the battery door on and off and i dont use NFC so i can test that....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brickbeats:
it knocked down my 4g from 30 mb to 11 mb......

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bnbrazr:
Just got a new Razr because the old one was having some sound issues (that were later resolved after i got the phone) anyways, whenever i use any of the rooting methods like Droid Utility on this new phone, it has a bunch of error's saying 'Permission Denied' and the utility won't go through saying Root Failed.

What's up with this? How do I fix it? I never had a problem with my other Droid with this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snags697:
You might want to use Mattlgroff's DroidRAZRUtility1.7 (including the drivers packaged with it). One of the options is rooting the phone. It's a bit of overkill, as it contains lots of ROM images, but it will work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:
Hello Note siblings...

Since going stock AT&T note ICS, my email doesn't auto-update, I have to initiate updates manually.

The unit stops WiFi when the screen lock is up.

I am using the Go Launcher and all of it sub components (power, twitter, IM widgets and the like) so that might be part of it. I would hate to get rid of it since I have my phone set up just the way I want it.

I checked the Go power and the ICS settings and don't have power savings on in either and I don't have a data limit set either (I have unlimited).

Anyone have any ideas what the glitch is?

Thanks all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Honeybadger:

[TouchPad General] kingteeb:
Hey, I'm using ICS on my touchpad and have successfully managed to get USB hosting working to a certain extent. I can use my keyboard with my touchpad with no problems at all :) However what I was really hoping to be able to do was get a wired xbox 360 controller working. All I get when I plug it in though is a flashing light on the controller itself, the touchpad does not seem to recognise it at all. I heard of an application on the play store called joystick center and have used their "tester" application to see if it can detect the controller. Sadly this didn't seem to work either. Anyone managed to successfully get this working? Or have any suggestions that I can try out?

Thanks for your time
[TouchPad General] x000x:
i think its easier to use a wii or ps3 controller since those have bluetooth built in
[TouchPad General] kingteeb:
I thought that might be the case. Just thought I'd ask as I have an Xbox controller lying around, so would have saved me making a new purchase!
[TouchPad General] x000x:
i know if you want to use an xbox 360 controller on your pc you need to use a usb rf dongle thingy. the usb port on the touchpad isnt powered, and that is another hurdle to jump over.
[TouchPad General] kingteeb:
The Xbox controller I have is the wired version, not the wireless. I have a USB hub that plugs into the mains so it can support things that require power. Have managed to get my keyboard (which requires power) to work perfectly with the touchpad.
[TouchPad General] Aganar:
I seem to recall whenever I plugged a Wired 360 controller into a PC, it needed to download some proprietary drivers from Microsoft. I can't imagine those drivers would be built into the Touchpad, so you're probably out of luck as far as that goes.

I can confirm that both PS3 controllers and Wiimotes pair just fine with it, though. Heck, I paired not just the Wiimote, but the Wiimote+Classic Controller Pro and even Wiimote+Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Arcade Stick to the device.
[TouchPad General] x000x:
oh i see. that is an interesting setup with the hub. its probably just a driver issue then.
[TouchPad General] kingteeb:
Yeah I think that must be it. Any idea if there is any software out there that could address this issue? If not, I suppose I'll have to invest in a new controller!
[TouchPad General] developersdevelopers:
I don't know if this is really a driver, but the touchpad (with ICS) has some sort of config file specific to wired 360 controllers. The file can be found at: /system/usr/keylayout/ Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl

If you poke around at the other things in that folder, it has files for other controllers too including a Logitech one and some steering wheels (heh).
[TouchPad General] kingteeb:
Oooh well that's a start. I'll have a poke around in there and see what I can find. I love the optimistic steering wheel config files :-P
[TouchPad General] potissimus:
Yeah, xbox controllers work with the touchpad, but the kernel cm9 is using doesn't have it enabled by default.

You could either recompile the kernel or just compile the necessary modules to add to your current setup.

The xbox controller actually requires two: ff-memless.ko and xpad.ko. Just stick them in /system/lib/modules once you compile them.

ff-memless.c and xpad.c are already in the tenderloin branch, so you can compile them and pop them in pretty easily. Just look in /drivers/input.
[TouchPad General] blowfish888:
I've been doing some searching and haven't found what I'm looking for. I don't know how to compile these 2 files for the Touchpad. From what I'm reading it needs to match to the kernel. Does anyone already have the files compiled for CM9 on the touchpad and would share them?

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] Tired_:
I compiled a CM9 kernel today with wired Xbox 360 gamepad support. It works with the 08/19 CM9 nightly. It may work with other versions, I don't know. Please bear in mind that I am not a developer, and I haven't compiled a kernel of any kind since the last time I installed Gentoo (probably 2005 or earlier). I don't know if this kernel will blow up your Touchpad, summon demons through the speaker-hole, or end world hunger, all I know is that it worked for me, on my Touchpad, with the CM9 08/19 nightly, in John NES Lite, SNESDroid, and Trebuchet (SuperGNES Lite didn't work, it wouldn't recognize the X or Y buttons, and the Back button on the gamepad didn't work in anything I tried). I compiled the support directly into the kernel...probably not the best approach, but it was what I was able to figure out. I don't think I changed anything else in the kernel, and I didn't write any code, just ticked a few options in the make config.

Please try this at your own risk, I don't really have any idea what I am doing, and won't be responsible if bad things happen. If that doesn't scare you off (and it should, you have no idea how new this is to me!), download the attached zip file, unzip it, mount your /boot as rw and copy the uImage.Cyanogenmod.xpad file to /boot, and reboot, selecting the uImage.Cyanogenmod.xpad file in moboot when you reboot. Make sure before you do it that /boot has enough space...if it doesn't, it won't boot when you select it because it won't be fully there.

Anyone smarter than me (ie: almost everyone here) is welcome to tell me what I did wrong and how to do it better.
[TouchPad General] The2max:
Has anybody compiled xpad.ko and ff-memless.ko for the Touchpad? I have been looking around and can't find anywhere else that has done this.

Regrettably I have no idea how to compile these myself, maybe I'll try giving one of those tutorials a shot. Would love to have my xbox controller working with the touchpad.
[TouchPad General] jopzeut:
Can you explain how did you mount /boot as rw, please ? I tried different shell commands but it always say /boot is not rewritable :crying: so i can't copy the uImage.Cyanogenmod.xpad file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I just updated to 1.05.11.0606 and ran a before-and-after comparison to see what difference it made. For reference, I have a generally poor signal here (at home) and didn't expect much of an improvement, if any. In an attempt to rule out network load variables, I ran five tests using the Speedtest app before and after the update, all within about 20 minutes. Here are the results:

Although it appears that both up- and down-load speeds have increased, I'm a little hesitant to conclude it is because of the radio. There is a huge variance in results in both sets of data and not being a statistician, I'm not sure how to interpret them. Also of note, my ping actually went UP, which seems unusual considering the speeds improvements. Anyway, if anyone else want to share their results, it might be nice to have them all in one thread.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
Your download results are not statistically significant at the 95% confidence level (nor even the 90% confidence level). This means that it's not unlikely enough that you'd get those results by random fluctuation in the observations.

Your upload results are, however, statistically significant. There's a probability of 0.0078 (0.78% chance) that you'd get those results by random chance.

So ultimately, we can conclude that the new radios at least don't hurt download speeds, and are likely to improve upload speeds.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] socalwrx:
Tomorrows the big day for those of us who didnt pre-order. Im actually using someone else's upgrade (on a completely different account) to get the phone. They're telling me that they have to first activate it on the original line, then swap sim cards? does this sound correct? cant we just buy the phone, then activate it via verizonwireless.com ourselves?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
no, youll have to activate on the original account. just go into the store and have them do it there for you. they can do the swap in like 15 minutes. I did this for another line on the 27th just this way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] antispiral:
I used the upgrade on my primary line and activated it out of the box on another line with no issues if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oofrost:
I've called a few times and emailed regarding this as well. A phone is ordered from vz.com and I want to activate it on another account.

1 CSR said I had to keep the phone on the "account" it was ordered on for at least 24 hours. She informed me that it didn't have to be the line it was ordered on, just had to be activated on the account for a period of 24 hours or I would receive a charge back for the full retail price of the phone. I asked when the charge back would occur, she informed me when the phone is activated on a different account, that I would receive a charge back. (This seemed very unlikely)

The next CSR informed me that since my contract was renewed and showing 2 years since ship date of the device, I could do whatever I wanted to with the device. There is no charge back. He never heard of anybody getting a charge back. He said the device is mine and I can do what I want with it. Whether that be activate it on another account or line.

A third CSR confirmed what the 2nd said.

The 4th CSR said that I should at least activate the phone on the line it was intended for before changing it to another account. She wasn't 100% sure if I had to, but suggested I follow this method as a fail safe. She also informed me that this was for 3G devices and the process for a 4G LTE device would be different.

The email I sent has not been responded to yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tillithz:
just go into a store and do it. it doesnt need to be this tough.

I actually did this. there was no charge for doing it. took 15 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schaweet:
Exactly. I just did it for my GS3. Make sure you have the other account holder with you or that you are authorized on the other account. Simple process.

Sent from my SGS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mean Bro Greene:
Basically, if you order online, you have to activate it on the line it was ordered on first because they place a block on that particular line/IMEI until the device is activated. If you go in store, 9 times out of 10, they won't let you leave with an unactivated device if you used an upgrade for it unless you give them some **** and bull story. So, my suggestion would be to let the rep at the store activate it, leave, swap your sim into the shiny new GS3, and then activate whatever phone you plan on using on the freshly recontracted line via VZW.com

I've done this for nearly major device release with Verizon since WinMo. 10 lines over 2 accounts, juggling upgrades back and forth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oofrost:
There are cases where you want the phone sealed and unopened.

1. If you are selling the phone, a sealed phone is better than a opened phone.

2. If you are giving it as a gift, it would be nice if you didn't open it before giving it to someone.

With that being said, going to a Verizon store and having them activate the phone isn't the ideal scenario.

I received an email from Verizon,

"You will not be charged if you give the phone to someone else without activating it first. It is by purchasing the phone online that the terms and conditions are already accepted so the phone does not require being activated to recognize that. The device is now yours to do with as you please."

The question is in reference to the Verizon online procedure, this is not confirmed for in-store, indirect agents, or other online retailers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Android_Monsters:
I had to do this on tmobile. It was first activated on my moms line. Then they switched sims. I didn't have a mini sim, so they had to get one. It saved my a## when I had to do an exchange cause of a pink blob in the bottom right corner an hour ago.

Does it tend to happen when your screen times out, and are you having the same issues with headphones or is it just these specific speakers? If it happens with any device plugged in than the music player you are using might be causing conflicts with your lock screen settings.

Hey i have a buddy who lives in Canada with an Arc LT15a. I was wondering can she just use all of the roms and files in development here or does it have to be something specifically made for her setup since she is out of the country and with a different carrier?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loosely:
Hi. My Arc is/was originally a Rogers model. The bootloader isn't unlockable (without lots of help from XDA!), so new ROMs aren't an option. But anything else which doesn't need the BL unlocked should be fine.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
With no roms what else is there really to do? ;-) thanks for your input.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panicc.co:
There are lots of roms that you can use. I currently have a rodgers arc lt15i. What you can't do is have the kernel not match the rom. So yoi can flash roms made from stock kernel or you can install cwm if rooted and this opens a welth of boot animations, custom ui, apps, ect..

So remember that you can only use stock mods

if you get your bootloader unlocked like others have stated, you can use any of the arc roms in the dev section. I don't believe there is anything different about the Rogers Arc vs US ones.
