Sorry this post isn't constructive but I'd like to just say my experience. I had the same modem and rom. Battery "seemed" slightly better than 13 but it's too close to tell. About my signal and network performance, it could have been a lot of different factors. Rdio was stop and go all the time. Network seemed to crawl at times. I tried flashing 13's modem on 23 and it didn't make much difference. I said the hell with it and did a nandroid restore of fh13 and flashed the modem back to 13 and things are running smoother. It could have been like someone said, this is a development release and could be flaky. Oh, btw, I did use the nodata version BUT wiped before flashing. At the time yesterday, there wasn't a working link to a full wipe version of fh23. Maybe I screwed something up. I'm not saying that garwynn did anything wrong, I'm saying I didn't like it so I rolled back. My two cents and keep the change. Oh, and that sprint connection optimizer whatever it was, it was a pain in the butt. Yeah, I see it's purpose, but when I want wifi on, I will turn it on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tibedabeeto:
Every time i try to flash the modem tar with mobile Odin it does not change my base band. I tried flashing the exe as well but does the same thing. I also tired the zip but it always errors out. I am at a loss any ideas of how to do it on the phone alone without a computer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Unfortunately Mobile Odin cannot flash a modem for a CDMA phone. I'm not sure why you can't flash the zip though. What recovery are you using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tibedabeeto:
using el29 cwr the only one i save to flash back to stock ics and jb roms. I flash that with mobile Odin then flash ROM then the modem zip, it errors. Then reboot. The error said something about no error our something contradictory of what is happening

. I thought about using another kernel for flashing it but i assumed it was the zip since the ROM and anything else i throw at it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
K. That sounds like it may be a bad download. I just checked and I show over 300 downloads of the zip alone and this is the first report I've seen of it not working. :(

Sorry!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squiggie:
Because I was trying to save my data. How would downloading the full restore be easier? I already had no data flashed, but ran into issues. Seems easier to me to just factory reset instead of downloading the restore one click and flashing that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tibedabeeto:
I thought it was a bad download but i downloaded it twice same thing. I also tired sextape's one, same thing. Did you flash the modem? If so and if it worked which recovery you used.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
FH23 Nodata seems to be acting like the 2 YO that keeps saying "No!" to you... My guess is the updated gapps don't like the old data and if there was a conversion needed it probably didn't happen. Would suggest try flashing the whole package and let me know how that one goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Depending on when you downloaded it I had already put up a warning that we were having issues with the nodata version due to older data acting up with the new ROM. My primary suspect is gapps but I'm going to parse the logcat from yesterday to make sure. And this is not isolated to this build, although this

does

seem to be the first build where it hung up as badly as it did.

For future builds I'll probably backup/restore and test flash both the full and nodata versions before releasing or at least put up a warning on the nodata versions. I know a lot of folks like it but I personally had too many issues with them and just TB/Kies what I need and toast the rest.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I would try Agat's FF18 recompile & recovery - it's safe from the eMMC bug and you don't have to go all the way back to GB to flash a modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
I did flash it. I actually just flashed it again to make sure I wasn't making things up. I'm using Agat's v0.5.1. I'd recommend using any of his if you're running a TW ROM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tibedabeeto:
Thanks will try, also thanks OP.

So tried agat fh23, and it worked. Guess the el29 cwr that is linked from darchstar ROM doesn't like that type of zip. Anyway thanks for your input.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Not a problem - and props on the Hypnotoad avatar... (Still have to watch last night's Futurama...)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Awk34:

edit: Yup, NODATA didn't work, bootlooping. Restoring my NANDroid now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sideman7:
My phone has been behaving great since I did the full restore version. Reasonable battery life, and so far, no self reboots.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenazrael:
Question - I noticed in the beginning of this thread that in order to install CWM, to go back and use the Auto Root Package provided by sfhub and select option D. However, the Auto Root Package provided by sfhub stopped at FF18, and by selecting D, aren't I installing an FF18 kernel + CWM?

Basically, I want to do a full wipe of my phone and keep root. I downloaded SPH-D710_FH23_CL1057614_Rooted_Restore_OC.exe. Currently, I'm running EL29 kernel. My thought process was:

1) Run that executable to reset phone to original default settings

2) Then boot into recovery

3) Install the Rejected Crack Stock Rom (FH13 kernel)

4) Boot once

5) Boot into recovery and flash Agat's FH23 kernel

However, I'm worried about step 2.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
If you run the Rooted Restore One-Click you will not have a kernel with recovery; CWM.

So..

There is no Step 2. as you've listed possible.

BUT.

If you want a custom recovery you can then add it VERY easily via

Mobile Odin

. Visit Agat's kernel thread, download the latest kernel to your SD card. Open Mobile Odin, select the 'kernel' located it, scroll down and 'Flash Firmware'

Then you'll have a kernel with a safe recovery that will allow you to flash any ROM you wish.

Note too that there is a 'free version of Mobile Odin available to XDA members [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347899 ]. It only requires that you download the right FlashKernel' [ http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=798187&d=1322517611 ]

OR

You could visit rwilco12's kernel repository [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662295 ]and use on of his one-clicks to flash the kernel via PC or grab the .tar and flash it via PC Odin. (rwilco has done an amazingly great job putting all these up AND of detailing exactly HOW to do this in his posts; so read through them.

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenazrael:
Wow thanks for the information. I'll give that a shot.

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

Worked like a charm. Took me a while to realize that Mobile Odin only works on .tar files hence my .zip files not showing up. Used Agat's FH23 kernel w/ recovery and flashed via mobile odin which gave me a fh23 kernel w/ agat's recovery, then booted into recovery and flashed the ROM.

Thanks again leaderbuilder!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Glad to hear you got it.

One thing I would also recommend is purchasing the pro version of mobile Odin. Show support for the dev and you get some other features too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenazrael:
Yep - that's what I did. I liked the option to have autoroot built in ... just in case. Don't know if it works, but it also seems that Mobile Odin is the way to go since sfhub took a vacation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] felimz:
This ROM works just fine, but I'm getting intermittent "Unfortunately, Sprint ID has stopped." moments of lag. I've cleared several caches without finding a suitable fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Settings|Applications|All|Sprint ID|Clear Data. That cleared it for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stupidaznmunkey:
I was coming from FH13 which was crashing on me randomly with random applications and was always crashing on me when I was hitting "back" on my messages or taking snapshots

so I tried the PRESERVE DATA on this build (coming from FH13) - and as everyone else was experiencing, it kept hanging up.

When I did RESET, it was perfect. No crashing, no hanging up. I'll give a quick update on what I notice.

So far, only thing I've noticed was the "phone and contacts" menu was reconnected again with this icon:

not sure if you guys have been somewhat frustrated with clicking on phone and searching for contacts - realizing you had to go back to homepage and then reclick on contacts to find contacts - but this little icon helps out a lot

lets see what else we can find :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
There were some other minor changes hidden in there. I know Gmail, Visual Voicemail and a few other apps got updates. There are also a few backend changes that are related to removing minor bugs and annoyances. We'll see what else people find. :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jziggy101:
Where is this option located? I have never seen that on my phone and I just spent several minutes looking. Probably someplace easy to find thats why I must have missed it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
If I remember right it was under settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jziggy101:
Yeah I looked there and nothing. But is that part of FH23 as I am still on FH13. ( haven't jumped on this one yet. )
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Yes that is new in FH23.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pasta1234:
Is FH23 the latest leak as of today ?

Can i just ODIN the No Data version over my FF18 ?

Thanks !!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tpapa:
Might be able to but some have had issues with No Data version. Note that there have been a few RDF files posted since FH23 which would imply that we might..repeat might...get a newer leak soon...might not want to waste your time with FH23.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Neo3D:
Will this work with FF13?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
This will replace FF13 with FH23. And depending on the version you choose it will keep or wipe your data. But I recommend FI03 personally. Is the best so far in my opinion.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucianowlp:
Guys, good afternoon.

I'm doing a project where I need a web system, done in ASP.NET, to communicate with an android system.

Thus, the two systems will use the same database.

I came to find out about WEBSERVER, but I found this on a forum that left me a little confused:

"It is worth noting that the consumption of Web services on mobile devices is not recommended by the Android development team due to the processing overhead of SOAP calls. If you have control over the server, the ideal is to use REST-based architectures such as OData . "

It is not recommended to use webserver in android?

How then can I do to create that communication between the two systems?

Now appreciate everyone's help.
[Android Apps and Games] philliplavelle:
Hi there,

I'm hoping all of this will make sense..

I fired up Titanium last night to restore an app I'd frozen. As I opened the app, it came up with a popup that said something about my Android account being registered to a different device. It gave me the option of keeping my current ID or switching to the previous one (which it recommended). I followed the recommendation and it did what it needed to do.

All seemed OK until this morning and I realised that I can now no longer open any of my paid for apps or games. I just get some kind of pop up saying "You are not authorised to use this app on this Android device."

I've had a quick look through the settings but there are so many, I don't know what to do.

Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about and, if so, how I can just revert to how it was before?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] philliplavelle:
Sorry, I should point out, it wasn't my Gmail account that it recommended a change.. but some long number.. I assume some kind of UDID type thing

Every andrid phone has a android ID and

after you flash a new custom ROM your android ID changes and many applications use Android ID too like Google Music

TB provides an option to keep your android id...

This is the issue - it asked if I'd like to change it back to the old one or keep the new one. It recommended going back to the old one. I did so, and now the apps don't work. So how do I revert to how it was?

Hello there,

I was thinking to make a flashable CWM script that eliminates the necessary steps before changing a Rom. He script should have this content:

/format data

/format cache

/format system

/format Dalvik cache

Would it work? If yes has anyone such a similar script and share it please?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
First of all, wiping dalvik and system is redundant.

Wiping data wipes dalvik (/data/dalvik)

Also, when you flash a tom, it automatically wipes /system unless you're flashing an incremental update.

So why do you want this script when you have to push like 2 buttons anyway (factory reset/wipe data and cache)? The red be more trouble migrating to the flash able to wipe stuff than going to the wipe menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no. the rom you're flashing has to have the script to wipe system (most do, but there are some that do not)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pirateghost:
If it doesn't wipe system to install the rom, then I don't know what you think it would be installing....I would question that 'dev ' that does that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
If the ROM doesn't wipe /system, then most likely you're flashing an incremental upgrade, or the dev doesn't know what in the world he's doing and you should probably steer clear of said ROM.

Also, AFAIK, all the gnex ROMs here at xda, rootzwiki, and cyanogenmod wipe /system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
I understand the knowledge shared here but better be safe and follow all four steps then be not sure? Or not?

Can someone help by providing such script please?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
Search for the Android Revolution ROM in the dev section. IIRC they have some kind of script in the OP

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1RoH:
Yes, JB has made bluetooth audio nearly lag free. I have a tf300 on jb & a tf700 still on ics and when comparing the same bluetooth head set, playing the same youtube vid, the difference is quite noticeable. Its not perfect, but its close enough not to be annoying.

Also after I got JB, my Logitech M555b bluetooth mouse that would disconnect every 5-10 minutes now works perfectly.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mize:
I'm hopeful the 3G/Snapdragon version is truly lag free. Some theorize it's a Tegra 3 issue and the Lenovo S2110 doesn't have this BT audio lag and it's Snapdragon. We shall see...hopefully soon.

Hi,

I've been reading threads here about the HTC Desire S RUU from HTCDev. I was curious as to why it is not available in their site anymore. Isn't anyone curious? Are there bugs on it?

I've been wanting to install it but hesitant so I'd like to ask some noob questions before I do.

1. If I install it now and HTC decides to give out another update later on, will I still be able to get the update without doing any customization my phone?

2. If answer to question#1 is No, then Is it possible to return the original stock or official ROM and then get official updates?

Below are some information about my device:

Reason I'm asking is because I'm still hoping that HTC releases a Jelly Bean update later on. :D

Appreciate any help.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
No chance. HTC Will never release anything beyond ICS for our (or probably any of the older) devices. There is no financial benefit to them doing so, but our Devs will probably come up with something decent anyway.

As for your other questions - search. Every one of them has been asked and answered repeatedly over the last few days and weeks.
[HTC Desire S] vndnguyen:
There are 2 issue should be considered before updating:

1. Your phone is Asia WWE region (Software number x.xx.707.x), while the leaked RUU is for EU region (xx.xx.401.x). I'm not sure if it is able to install this RUU to phone with different region(?)

2. Your hboot is locked and S-ON. You have to unlock OR S-Off if you want to update by PG88IMG image.

Also I found an article on the internet (I'm not able to post the link right now). It says that an RUU is coming soon and this came from HTC. Does this mean the one they released a few days ago is not official? If this RUU comes out later on, can I still install it?

Edit: I just checked the HTCDev site and it seems the RUU is back. Seems to be the same one though.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Why, tell me why are you trying to install RUU when you are S-OFF. Everywhere on this forums is written with big letters, that you are not supposed to do that.

Thank you for your info.

What is your experience with this ICS update? Is it stable, smoother and longer battery life than the old one?

Is there any trouble or bug?
[HTC Desire S] ads.underground:
Here's what I've observed so far:

Friendstream seems to be a whole lot faster and additional features are great like the addition of Groups in the Friends section. Might not be a big deal to others but I personally find this very good.

The People, Mail and Message app have better UI and some additional settings as well.

FB Chat from HTC has been added. I haven't personally tried it but looks promising.

I like the new YouTube UI, Talk and Gmail UI. Although I think I may have encountered a bug in Gmail but not sure. On its account settings, checking the Priority Inbox checbox seems to change Ringtone & vibrate option. But when you uncheck, it doesn't return the original setting for Ringtone & vibrate. Could be standard behavior?

Maps seems to be slower when using satellite. I never upgraded it when I was in GB and preferred to use the stock app.

Overall, performance seems to be a lot smoother compared to GB. Which makes me wonder how much difference it is with JB. UI is also a lot better.
