[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] recepo1:
Yea i might even hold off on the note 2 knows what will come out a month later after it comes out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] wuby:
Lololo, i bet that Beckham will be in new GN2..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] peacecorpsteve:
Humm... Everything I've read regarding the Note 2 expectations (from reputable websites), says the Note 2 will have a slightly larger BUT NARROWER screen (viewed in portrait mode).... A similar asthetic / screen ratio to the Galaxy S3.... Not sure about anyone else, but I hate that "qHD" aspect ratio... It just makes the portrait view too small IMO... Personally, I'm perfectly happy with the Note as it is :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rosedog:
Here's my thought on the matter...I could care less that the N2 is being announce at the end of the month. I knew that before I bought my N1 and that is perfectly fine with me.

Samsung hoodwinked me once with the GS3 and the lack of UMS. I'm going to wait this one out and see where the dust falls with the N2. If the N2 supports UMS then I'll most likely upgrade when possible BUT I have a sneaky suspicion that it will end up being more like the GS3 and not support UMS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] peacecorpsteve:
Rose..... Not to sound like a complete idiot.... But what does "UMS" mean?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] KillaHurtz:
USB Mass Storage, the Note doesn't have either. There is mods to get around it, but the standard is MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] peacecorpsteve:
I thought the workaround for that was to select "USB debugging"? I haven't tried it, but it seems to work on the GS3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] KillaHurtz:
No. Are you just assuming? I have had both phones and you need an app to enable ums, or have it cooked in like flapjaxxx roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rosedog:
Sorry but you do not know what your are talking about. Please stop.

The Note DOES have UMS. It is there, no mods required. It come from the factory that way and the phone has MTP too.

Heck I even did a write up on how to simplify the process of it down to a click.

No, you cannot use "USB debugging" on the Note if you want to use the (built-in by default) UMS feature. It will tell you to turn it off.

I would have never bought the Note had it been missing UMS. Just say no to MTP!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] peacecorpsteve:
Sorry for the oversight..... I never use mass storage mode..... I have a Samsung USB dongle that I use just for plugging USB "thumb" drives into my Note..... Kies is just way too slow, so in that respect I can see where just copying straight from PC to Note would be much faster in mass storage device mode.... I just seldom use it and use my adapter instead (old habit from my GS2-days)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] rosedog:
A few things have me lost with what you're saying. I don't know what the dongle is that you're talking about~how that works, and the GS2. Do you mean the Galaxy S II? If so, that has UMS also - no MTP.

Also UMS is used in almost anything with a USB plug/port. TV's, Car Stereo, PC's, DVD Players, Game Consoles. I also use my devices on these too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] peacecorpsteve:
Rosedog....

The "dongle" I'm referring to is a micro-USB-to-female-USB adapter. It lets you plug things like those tiny USB drives directly into your phone, so the phone will read the data and play (or copy) it directly to the phone. I call it USB hosting capability, while I've seen others refer to it as USB-OTG (USB-On The Go). The Galaxy S2 (GS2), Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Galaxy Note all have the USB hosting capability so they can read USB drives just like a PC can.... I use that feature almost exclusively, and rarely, if ever, plug my Note directly into a PC :D

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Hi all,

I have HTC wildfire for almost a couple of years, recently it started to randomly restart, about 5-8 times a day (the phone is off during the night).

At the time it begun I had OLDWildPuzzleROM_2.2 Froyo v8.0.11 ROM, with HBoot 0.8.

Before the restarts happened I rooted my phone using unrEVOked-3-2-Windoze (it stayed S-Off though).

I don't think the restarts happened right after the root so I'm not sure that is the cause

I few days ago I flashed it with "RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed" which changed my HBoot from 0.8 to 1.01.0001. I found the ROM here and followed the instructions.

I had to make a goldcard (I formatted the SD card using the phone and not using the PC).

My phone continues to randomly restart.

We don't have HTC representative in my country, only non official labs that deal with repair, so I can't go to the company for repair. talking to the lab guy he says it is probably a software issue and not a hardware issue, though I don't understand how it is possible since I flashed a completely new ROM. Oh, and the lab guy says he will charge me whether the repair works of fails....

Do you have any suggestions?

Many thanks

PS

I read about boot loop, I'm not sure what boot loop is, but when my phone restarts it shows the HTC logo as it does during power on or full restart.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
bootlooping is random restarting or continuous looping of boot.

reasons could be many......

overclocking your cpu to high.

low on memory (too many apps installed / running).

v6 / supercarger / juwwes ram scripts etc etc.

MokeeOs
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
So that doesn't apply to me :)

I don't overclock

I have restarts even without installing any apps

I don't know what v6 / supercarger / juwwes ram scripts mean :)

any ideas of what should I do?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
like slymobi already mentioned it could have several reasons - but we've already excluded a few...

Another idea is to start your phone without the sdcard and look if the reboots continue ;)

Important: flashing a different ROM to solve the issue almost doesn't help if you haven't done a complete wipe/factory reset - it has also been reported (not confirmed, though) that Clockworkmod recovery randomly fails with wiping - so it might also help to repeat the procedure.

Probably slymobi will point to a thread where he explains a complete wipe... (you could search in his threads - I'm busy and it's really hot here atm :D)

I mean: to be sure I always try to format + wipe + factory reset (sound redundant but feels safer...)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
thank you,

I will try to find a tutorial that illustrates how to do a format and complete wipe, I will appreciate it if someone will have the time to point one, but will look for it myself too.

so I understand you all think it is not a hardware issue.

BTW I did a factory reset on my original ROM before I flashed a new one.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Sorry, couldn't find how to do a system format. can you help?

Does "wipe" as you call it the same as factory reset? if so that I did but no format.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
In the recovery go under Mounts and Storage and select Format System.

Technically factory reset is a wipe, it wipes cache, data and sd-ext
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
There's another thing you might want to check: a lot of people had reboots when they (or the phone) switched on 3G. So do you have reboots, too, with data/3G off?

Furthermore I also know of at least one case where the reboots were caused by a damaged battery - so it might be a hardware issue as well - but in most cases I know of it hasn't been ;)

Re. how to do a clean wipe/format: in this thread I describe my method (sometimes I'll do it different, though) and slymobi describes how he does it (your choice): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833966

yes but as you probably know, sometimes that might just not be clean enough... ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
reboot into recovery,power off then volume down button and power button at same time,in this menu,using trackball to select,

wipe data / restore factory settings,

wipe cache,

go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

press power button to go back.

go into mounts and storage,

format data,

format cache,

format system,

format sdext,

DONT FORMAT SDCARD

you have now wiped your phone clean.

press power button to go back,

install rom from sdcard,navigate to where your rom is on your sdcard and select / confirm,

let it install..........

don't reboot,if gapps are needed?

flash correct gapps in same way as you just flashed rom........

reboot.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Thank you eventcom,

Actually I didn't think about it but the restarts started a bit after I started using the 3G internet.

If so will the format-wipe-flash procedure will help? this phone suppose to be 3G capable, no?

Many thanks
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
If the reboots happen because of you enabling 3G I think re-flashing the radio will fix that. (Not so sure on that, someone please complete me)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Thank you slymobi,

but as I wrote above, when I did the RUU thingy I had to do the goldcard procedure and so I formatted my SD card.

Does it have a ROM image after I did the RUU flash?

what is "flash gapps", is it one of the option in the menu? sorry, I'm new to all of this

thank you for your patience and valuable help
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
gapps is the google apps package.needed for most non sense roms I think :)

its fine that you have formatted the sdcard at that stage. I meant whenever your performing recovery wipes to be careful not to format sdcard as it does exactly what it says and you will delete all contents of sdcard.

MokeeOs
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
can you flash just the radio?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
forgot about this.

yep I think you're correct,if it is the 3g? but what triggered it?

MokeeOs

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

lol I knew this was coming next.

yes you can. I'm busy now so hopefully someone will guide you.

if not search forum on how to flash radio etc etc.

MokeeOs
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Yes you can.

First download the file I attached and this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?lkhsl6hojm7vplv

Put both on the SD card

Flash the first one in the recovery, this will give you a temporary 2.5.X recovery, that goes away on reboot.

Within that recovery flash the second file I put up (the radio file itself)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
I feel so stupid asking this, but how do I 'flash the in the recovery'? I don't know the basics, also the 'Within that recovery and flash the sec file' is a bit esoteric for me :)

I feel stupid since I am an electronic engineer and working with J-Tag and embedded systems :)

Thank a lot
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Flash them both, just like you flash a ROM :)

Once you flash the first file a new recovery will pop up, within that one, flash the radio file
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
That's my point exactly, I never flashed a ROM on a cell phone

I used the RUU exe, it was as simple as running a windows application.

Do I have to root the device? and mimic a ROM update procedure to do that?

Or wait, is it by using the bootloader menu that comes up when you press down+power on?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
lesicnik I would have thought you of all people would give better instructions. Especially after yesterdays pm. lol.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
I just woke up recently, don't sleep that well :/

And if I took the amount of "effort" I used yesterday, it would take four times as long, just for me to think every single thing through and end up replacing it twice :p

Not sure about the older HBOOTs, but you should be able to flash a custom recovery through fastboot if you're S-OFF

(read up on that)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
If he's s-off cant he just drop a PC49IMG.zip on his sdcard? http://www.mediafire.com/?398dklf1uzss5f6

Im not sure if you are really s-off or not as i didn't think unrevoked did s-off, i thought it just installed cwm. To check if your s-off boot into hboot vol down + power button and it should say s-on or s-off, if s-off download the file above put it on the root of your sd and boot into hboot again. Hboot should see it and install cwm recovery.

If your s-on post back here and we'll talk you through using revolutionary as you're already on the right hboot version to use that i think, so it should be simple. Having a custom recovery will enable you to do so much more like flashing the radio, custom roms etc etc

Also easiest way to test if its 3g/radio causing the problem is to just turn 3g off for a while if no reboots happen theres the problem.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
I'm yet a bit confused as you say you're new to this and did only a RUU etc. - on the other hand you stated that you had Wildpuzzle installed which is a custom ROM not stock...

Regarding the reboots on 3G: from my experience (also my own...) this almost happened to ppl who did either do a lot of experimental things, flash lots of different ROMs and/or had performance scripts running. The exact reason is still not confirmed (as far as I'm aware of) - what I could say for sure is, quite a few ppl (including me) got rid of the problem by flashing a different radio (or a different and the current one again afterwards). Yes, the Wildfire is 3G capable and for most cases I know of the reboots ONLY started if you had 3G/auto enabled and enable mobile data or if you were on 2G and enable 3G.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
lol, so now you know how I was feeling and on top of that I had a 14 month old biting at my toes :p common mistakes are easily made.

p.s does my op pass inspection now :)?

MokeeOs
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
yes - if he is... - and the OP says "stayed S-OFF" - sure you didn't mix up things? Have a look at the messages after booting into fastboot ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Better :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Thank you for your help

I'm not S-Off

I need yet to verify the 3G thing
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
I got the Wildfire from the store with Wildpuzzle installed, don't know why, maybe at the time all HTC phones were imported privately by stores and had to be unlocked or something, I don't know.

I was on 2G network but enabled the 3G only after I moved to a different provider (3G of course).

One thing is not quite clear to me, if I flashed the new RUU it also replaced/flashed the Radio, and so the problem should have been fixed. am I missing something?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
That is correct however sometimes some settings seem to stick,don't get wiped properly and ultimately conflict in some way with regards to radio across all roms, i don't think anyone knows the reason why or has an answer on how to fix it. I'm not 100% sure but i think if you flash the same radio version as the one you already have or the flash doesn't really happen even though you get a message saying it has (does happen sometimes) the bug will stay but if you downgrade it and then upgrade again it should work.... Thats presuming this is a radio bug though.

If it seems ok with the 3g off then hopefully flashing the radio will fix it but you'll need to run this first http://revolutionary.io/

Its fairly simple to work out but getting the key can be tricky (copy n paste is your friend).....

If you need anymore help getting that part done give us a shout there's plenty of guides for it knocking about.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
apparently my phone restarts even if the 3G is disabled. so I decided to do the format-wipe-reflash thing.

I turned the phone on with the vol-down pressed (the trackball doesn't work only vol up & down)

pressing on "recovery" changed the screen (after short reboot) to a pic of a phone with red exclamation mark on it on a black background. does that mean I don't have any recovery console?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
So, you say your H-BOOT is now 1.XX?

If so, you can use Revolutionary (revolutionary.io), which will not only S-OFF it, but also install a custom recovery.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
It means you have stock recovery, if you press volume up and power on that screen the stock recovery should show. Its limited to what it can do though cwm has more functionality.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Thank you

I just figured that one :)

completing it right now

next stage format-wipe and reflash the RUU, hope this will end the entire saga. I will update...

Thanks again
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
BTW, is there a more recommended ROM than the RUU? for best performance while having all hardware peripherals work properly
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
Slow down a bit, the ruu will replace your cwm recovery again, update it first to 5.0.2.0 with the PC49IMG.zip in my previous post then i would just install a rom through cwm, if you prefer the stock sense rom i can dig up a link or there's plenty of alternatives. This way you get to keep recovery just in case......
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
WOW, thanks a lot, didn't think about that one.

I'm in a process of looking for a good ROM

any suggestions?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
If you're looking for a stock-ish experience pick RemPuzzle

Otherwise another good one is CM7.

But really, you should test a bunch of them out and find one that suits you the most.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Thank you

I have no time for experiments :) I wish I did hhh

I will try the CM

Hopefully this will end my problems, well at least phone problems ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
I agree with Lesicnik rempuzzle is a sense based rom but highly tweaked, make sure to read the op as kylon has provided links to just about every mod possible in there.

Cm7 is probably the next best stable rom, its a lot lighter than a sense rom but we like it like that. Its based on aosp (android open source project) so its basically android before carriers and manufacturers get hold of it and ruin it with bloat, i like to do that part myself.........
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
the bloating stuff? lol yeah that's the fun part of Android: tweak as long until the phone starts getting slow and sluggish again (or you mess something up) :D:D
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus:
Hello everybody,

My problem is not fixed yet :(

here are the steps I took:

1. I rooted and updated to revolutionary recovery using their windows application

2. I wiped the phone clean as slymobi suggested (thank you slymobi)

3. I flashed "CyanogenMod 7.2 Final(GWK74/2.3.7)" via recovery - (thank you Lesicnik1 and Scratch0805 it is a great ROM)

4. I flashed gaaps

At this point everything seemed fine everything worked. I installed a few essential apps:

dialer one, my phone explorer, smart keyboard pro and waze. at this point I found out the GPS isn't working (3G and wifi does) and so:

5. I installed GPS test to try and start kick it - it didn't work

At this point I did a long press on the clock application to drag it to the home screen, the phone restarted (maybe I released it too soon and it "dropped" on another app shortcut and did some kind of exception but I doubt it), the wifi, GPS and 3G were off at that moment, bluetooth might have been on

6. I flashed update1.zip to get temporary 2.5.X recovery and flashed radio 3.35.20.10 - thank you Lesicnik1 for this

After that the phone did another random restart, I'm not sure regarding the state of the wifi/3G bluetooth might have been on

First, thank you all for your help, I really appreciate it.

Any suggestions?

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
too bad... did you try to start the phone without sdcard once (as I've already suggested)? Just to make sure it's not a problem with the card...

Furthermore it wouldn't hurt to try the method that helped me (and a few others) although you don't seem to have that 3G issue.

For that you just follow Lesicnik1's instructions to get a temporary CWM 2.5x and flash the Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 (older one), reboot and do the same again and flash your current radio again (as you just did).

--- EDIT ---

all the stuff can be found in "The Complete Wildfire Index"
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clonimus74:
Thank you for your reply eventcom

Please see quote below, I did what Lesicnik1 suggested. The SD Card I have is different than the one I had before when everything started, since the Sandisk 2GB card I had didn't work with the goldcard procedure, so now I use Kingstone 4GB card.

I can try to use the phone without it now if you think it will help.

BTW it seems the restarts happen less often than before, though that can be a coincidence.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eventcom:
yes, you flashed a newer radio to get rid of the GPS problem (BTW I had the same problem - like many others) - that's good. Apart from that many people believe that under certain circumstances it could happen that the radio gets messed up. Sometimes it doesn't help to re-flash the same radio as the problem might resist (most likely because you can't "wipe" or "format" the radio). The method that most likely helps to solve this problem is to flash a different radio (to "overwrite" the potential troublemakers) and re-flash the current radio afterwards.

But to be honest: I'm not too sure if it will help in your case mainly because you don't have the reboots on activation of 3G. On the other hand I'm running a bit out of ideas atm.

Regarding the sdcard you might be correct: if the problem started with a different card it most likely has nothing to do with it.
