[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
Hi everyone,

I have an XT860 from Bell Canada. I would like to mod it. Can someone tell me if it's a Droid 3 or Droid 2?

Also, what are the latest versions of Android available for these devices? The one installed now is 2.3.6 and I would very much like to jump to a Jelly Bean.

I appreciate some input before I waste too much trying to mod this.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Droid 3. You're in the right section. Each ROM has an 860 patch but the problem is that the development on JellyBean has kind of stalled since the camera isn't working.
[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
MrObvious, thanks a lot for the feedback.

1- What is an "860" patch?

2- What is the latest stable version of Android for my device? Not looking for Jelly Bean if camera doesn't work.

3- Where can I find instructions and latest ROMs for my device? ***I don't want to mess up the radio frequencies as it's a Canadian phone***

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Basically it just patches a few files and the build.prop so that it works with the 860 as all our ROMs are built for the 862 which is the Verizon CDMA version. Just flash a ROM and look for a patch. Minimoto is a good one because it has stability and Endroid made a patch that works.
[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
Thanks again. So, where is the official mod thread? From what you said, I first mod it and then apply the Minimoto patch for 860. Did I get that right or is there a ROM specific to 860 that I should do?

The phone is unlocked and rooted but I don't think I have the framework to install ROMs so I probably need to read the official modding thread.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
For minimoto I'm moving the actual rom. If you look through the posts in the minimoto thread you'll find the link to the 860 version. I'd link you but I'm on my phone and it's a pita
[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
I will go with Minimoto first and then try other MODs. There are many threads on Minimoto. I wonder why there is no sticky "Droid 3 ROMs & Instructions" :(

So far I learned that I have to install (somehow) SafeStrap and then MiniMoto ROM. Am I getting that correct? Is there a comprehensive guide to this specific to XT860?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Sounds like you're getting it. Then look through the Minimoto thread to find the 860 patch.
[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
Thanks. Is this the official Minimoto ROM thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1978304

It mentions it's for XT862 but mine is XT860 and a Canadian version (Bell Canada). Would I be safe to use that?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Here's the 860 version

[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
Thanks for the post but that is a huge thread. Were you meaning to point to the thread or a link within it?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Actually his link goes right to the patch ;) (to the post with the patch)
[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
Yes, it does. I was hasty and not waiting for full page to show up. Thanks.

1- I have got Minimoto installed but Android version is 2.3.4 and that is lower than the 2.3.6 that came as stock. Is there anyway to upgrade that?

2- Would overclocking make a major different? Where is the official guide for overclocking for XT860?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
1 no 2 it can make it feel smoother
[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
Thanks. I have installed Minimoto and here are some of the problems I am facing if there are any work-arounds for them?

1- I have been only seeing 3G and Edge for internet connection. On stock I can see H+ as well.

2- From time to time the phone doesn't have any internet connection and it has to be restarted to get internet connection - that is a big annoyance.

Any feedback?

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
1)these are just cosmetic, you can have it show the h+ through build.prop edits

2)try adding the line ro.ril.hep=0 to the build.prop, it should help, and try just toggling airplane mode to reset the connection, easier than rebooting
[Motorola Droid 3] torontobc:
This is already there:

#improve signal stability maybe

ro.ril.hep=0

Would I be in better situation if I can an LTE sim card even though the phone doesn't support LTE but network does so maybe signal would be better?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
No, the phone most likely wouldnt even be able to read it. It happens to me pretty regular, I just toggle airplane mode
[Blade General] miksmith:
Ive got a fairly new (old stock!) Blade that I have flashed using Swedish Snow RLS7 which has been working fine...no problems.

This week I turned the phone on and it gets as far as the Android boot screen (green robot, but NOT as far as the boot animation) and then reboots.

I *can* get in to Clockwork and have tried wiping all settings and reflashing the ROM. These processes all complete successfully, but the phone still does the same reboot cycle.

Any ideas what the problem might be here?

thanks

mike
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
Have you tried reflashing the recovery?

Here's latest cwm flashable zip : http://www.mediafire.com/?v3w87u6ua1cyui8
[Blade General] miksmith:
Thanks for the reply. I reflashed to the latest recovery and tried a different ROM. Unfortunately I get the same problem.....green Android boot logo which appears for about 20s, distortion/flickering at the end of this period and then a reboot. Recovery works fine.

I'm wondering if this is somehow graphics related......
[Blade General] UrbanDrawer:
I don't really think that it's graphic-related. I've had very similiar problem with my Blade, fixed it with this. :)

I'm having a problem with my data. For some reason, it stops working and says that I currently don't have a data plan with T-Mobile, when I in fact do. When I disconnect and then reconnect it works, but then after 5 minutes repeats the same error. Also, I noticed my T-mobile account app doesn't work. It opens, but then says "We are not able to process your request at this moment. Please try again. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

[Nexus 10 General] Glennfoot:
Hello all

Just asking for help as to if anyone think my Nexus 10 has a fault.

I've not managed to get USB off or HDMI out working.

I bought what I thought would be a good USB otg cable but it won't work.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-E.../400320687174?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:GB:3160

Also I bought an micro HDMI to HDMI cable and again it won't work

I've ordered alternatives of both cables but my worry is that it is my N10 and not the cables.

Anyone else had problems?
[Nexus 10 General] drcujo:
It seems to me that it would be more likely that the problem is how you are setting it up or with whatever else you are trying to connect to.

Have you used the otg/micro hdmi cables on a different device?
[Nexus 10 General] Glennfoot:
New cables have resolved the issue, couldn't believe that both cables of different types were the problem.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zourn:
After switching between tablet and phablet UI's, trying to decide which one I liked better, I decided I want a hybrid of the phablet and the tablet UI (like a thablet?, this name stuff is getting ridiculous). I want one bar on the bottom of the screen with my nav buttons in the middle, and the status/quick setting on right, and the notifications on the left. Is there currently any way to do this?

I made an awesome MSPaint mock-up of what I'm talking about.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KlipperKyle:
I don't know of any way to make these changes without writing your own custom ROM.

I really like the layout you are proposing. It's genius! It's a perfect combination of the classic Honeycomb interface and the new 4.1 phone-UI-on-tablet interface.

You should talk to a ROM developer about this layout.

[Nokia Lumia 800] facekill1337:
Hey guys, found out today that there will be Linux for Phones, watched the Video from the devs and i wonder if it is possible/easier for the devs around here to Port linux to our Lumia 710/800? because its working on maybe every PC ;D Maybe this is a revolution for Phones ;D
[Nokia Lumia 800] mcosmin222:
Why would you want to have linux on a phone >???
[Nokia Lumia 800] facekill1337:
if you have seen the Videos, its worth to try :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] Lanex777:
No, it is not. It is very buggy unless you are profficient, I had used it once, and it was awful. I cannot say that I am real noob, but it sucked when once I turned my pc on I found out every time that something doesn't work and before actually using my PC I had to look for a solution to enable stuff that stopped working. It has much less apps than windows. RT, which was ported to HD2 looks much more stable than linux.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ASDFhakunaa:
Now we are so many with a Lumia 800 and a porting on this device would be very nice,we need developers for an unlocked bootloader
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
wow, this is another project for the Nokia N9 :D

Great!!
[Nokia Lumia 800] facekill1337:
i think you guys dont understand me http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone , heres a link for the OS i mean, not Ubuntu for Android, FOR PHONES! thats something new i think :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] mcosmin222:
The effort is not worth it really.

And let's not get started on how this statement

With all-native core apps and no Java overhead, Ubuntu runs well on entry-level smartphones – yet it uses the same drivers as Android.

ruins everything. I will probably want to install that on my brother's android, but not on my lumia.
[Nokia Lumia 800] apexthe31:
linux = ubuntu = android if linux will be ported into wp then there is chance of android also
[Nokia Lumia 800] Androhacker:
You got it so wrong..

the chance for Android phones getting Linux was always much more than Windows Phone. Mostly because Android has all drivers open source. You can obtain drivers easily, hence you can port another OS easily.

but if i talk about the present, Ubuntu is already releasing open source version of Ubuntu Mobile that can easily be installed on dual-core phones. Nexus 4 was probably the first Android phone to have successfully run the Ubuntu Mobile.

and seems like WP is still lacking behind. It may even be impossible due to the "locked" feel of Windows Phone that quite resembles iOS. You cannot install Linux on an iPad due to driver issues.

Now, a reply to the guy who says Linux is ****, lacks apps, worse than windows, has less apps than windows or RT, etc.

SHUT THE HELL UP!

Do you even know what Linux is famous for, and who uses it? Ubuntu was quite a beauty ever since it obtained the Gnome3 UI, but those who used it longer than others said that this was a bad move on Ubuntu's part. Those people are called "devs" who MAKE your OS! Linux is used to make OS's. Each and every mobile OS you know is made with Linux, each and every website that got hacked was hacked with Linux, each and every company that have big websites like google and Facebook use Linux to prevent hacks and worms that slow servers. Linux is the Absolute Defence against hackers, virus's, etc. And is the best weapon for hackers. Even those who strengthen the network (White Hat Hackers) use Linux.

Don't know if it is true, but i have heard that Windows itself is made with Linux.

So stop talking bull**** about an OS you don't even know about. I used it for porting ROMs to android devices, building a few roms, etc. And it is much better than using bull**** apps like Cygwin. And apart from that, I no longer have to hesitate in making online payments because my PC is secure, that is the assurance Linux gives me.

Imagine, if you get to port roms, do hacking, and do all sorts of stuff that you do on Linux, on your phone! It is a big deal..

though i would have been happier to get Backtrack for WP, but if I get Ubuntu, id be just happy. Even though i know it won't be the exact same thing.
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
If this has been posted already, my apologies! i've been reading in the forums for months now and haven't seen it posted yet unless it came and went down the list faster then i could see it.

so the main issue seems to be, after taking a few pictures over time the camera app just freezes with the LED on like a flashlight and won't take another picture. until i found this google code submission

http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=40996

i've always had to reboot my phone just to take pics again. it's been embarassing when in public with friends i've bragged to about this phone... its a good laugh thats for sure, but not what i expect out of this phone. has any of you experienced this? do you guys on custom roms have this issue? is this a google code issue only or are all roms experiencing this issue? i haven't rooted yet as i always wanted to take updates automatically and stay up to date, but with this camera issue i'm in the process of rooting right this minute but want to make sure its worth my hassle.

discuss.
[Nexus 4 General] thegorilla:
I've had this issue as well. It only seems to affect the stock app though as other camera apps continue to function. A reboot is the only way is been able to fix this bug.
[Nexus 4 General] UCFJake:
It happened to me for the first time on New Year's Eve but happened three times. The app reset when I either closed it from the recent apps list or switched to video camera and then back to regular camera. Not sure what caused it and hasn't happened since.
[Nexus 4 General] kyokeun1234:
So what you're trying to say is whenever you try to repetitively take photo, camera freezes with led light on? Never happened to me. Then again, I barely use my camera
[Nexus 4 General] KtMack23:
I've had this happen as well, although I don't think I needed to reboot, just closed the app and it stopped. But I've had this happen several times, not recently though. I'm very disappointed with the camera on this thing, it seems to take lack luster photos and the app is very fritzy and the rotation animation awful, as well as this occasional glitch.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
It's a bug and has been reported. You can star it here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40996
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
that's exactly what I'm saying. I take a lot of pics especially when we go out. it does it all the time... it just freezes with the led stuck in. I can hit home but when I reopen it and take a pic it gets stuck in again. I just read I can switch to video and back and it should work, but that's annoying. my girlfriends gnex just works and she always laughs at me when it happens.

question, does this happen on anyone's rooted nexus with custom rom?
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Happens to me all the time. The camera app on here is pretty disappointing. I don't get it. :(
[Nexus 4 General] kyokeun1234:
I just got it to produce that problem and I see what you mean by annoying. One easy solution that I heard people using is using a third party camera app. Try a free camera app and tell us how it goes. Tried to reproduce the problem with camera zoom fx and couldn't do it. Also I believe this is a problem with terrible auto focus of nexus 4. Because when this happens the focus ring looks like as if it's still trying to focus into a object. Hopefully this gets fixed with software update. Cheers

BTW, using a rooted stock nexus 4 with Franco kernel and camera mod that'll increase the quality of the image and video.
[Nexus 4 General] tvdang7:
Happened to me to..... Bragged to my iPhone friends and that happened trying to get a picture of an Audi r8 . sad
[Nexus 4 General] sd00:
Me too and I've now "Starred" the bug.

Hopefully everyone here has too so it gets noticed by Google.
[Nexus 4 General] Web-head:
Same issue. Experienced it for the first time on New Year's Eve. Both my Nexus 4 and my wife's had the same thing happen. Only happened to mine once. Happened to hers about 3 or 4 times.

Used the camera the most on New Year's compared to any other time so that's possibly why I never experienced it until then.

Happened twice when asking strangers to take pics of us too, which was extremely annoying and embarrassing.

The LED flash stays on and you can't take any pics. Closing the app and swiping it from recents and reopening does nothing. The same thing will happen on the next try. Need to reboot the phone. It's the only fix.
[Nexus 4 General] aindow:
My phone did this on new years eve too.
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Happened the same to me more then once. I don't use the camera that much but when I really need it doesn't work.

This is embarrassing when everyone around you is taking pics with their iPhone.

Had numerous android phones before and never had one 100% reliable.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Had this issue also!

BTW while messing around just now, I got it to freeze , but noticed it was out if focus , so I moved it around and it eventually took!
[Nexus 4 General] backstudio:
Camera App

Try the Camera Zoom FX app. When I say amazing control, I mean AMAZING control of the camera. ISO, tap to focus and shoot, programmable hardware buttons for shutter/gallery etc...

The ability to control ISO means you can get rid of noise for stills/landscapes in almost any light. It works great. Furthermore, the pictures appear to be better from this app. When I started the app, I played around with it and thought "hey this is great, I have control over each shot, but the quality of the picture in auto mode appears the same as stock." Then I found in somewhat hidden "All Settings" menu a SAVE menu which was defaulted to 85% for jpeg output. I put it on 100% output and the pics look very good if not better than stock. The hardware is decent in this thing so the pics should be good. Take a look at the app and try it out for a few minutes to test it.

Disclosure: I have NO financial or personal interest in the company or developer of this app. But I do have a personal interest in photography.

Ubuntu for phones uses Android as its base, so does that mean features that are broken in ICS and JB builds would still be broken in UFP?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thandlovsky:
Not really. I've spent a lot of time with these as I hope to bring it to the Atrix. But it's not based off those builds, In the video he describes that it is ment to be compatible with any devices that run android. It is actually built off their operating system simmilar to windows 8 and windows 8 RT. It will be released for the samsung galaxy nexus. It will function similar to how their OS runs on computers, where it comes with one OS, but it will be compatible with another. Ubuntu Phone will hopefully be able to run on devices that run android. meaning that as long as you don't have an iphone, or windows phone, you should be able to run it. Which to me is really exciting as I see a lot of promise with this OS, especially along side our lapdocks
