People should remember that this is a global forum too.

I'm from new england, NY,CT,NJ area. We are naturally a little more harsh than some are used to. That's a fact but its how we are. Sorry. Chris Christie for example, good politician but a lot don't like his in your face approach, but it works!

I'm guilty of being a **** sometimes but hey its ingrained in me. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvilDobe:
Thanks... I think? I'm not sure I'm connecting the dots between the XDA mission statement & user's being lazy. Perhaps you could elaborate on your point to clear it up for me. I understand this is a developers forum & they graciously share what they do with the general public but what does that have to do with people being lazy or wanting answers spood-fed?

Is this the Transformer Pad that had all of the AWESOME GPS lock issues?

I'm looking at buying one on woot and may skip out if this is the model with the crappy GPS.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -angel*:
afaik it has crappy GPS, but it depends on your location how fast it locks (with AGPS it's acceptable)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elesbb:
At first I couldn't lock on at all.. but I flashed unters kernel and was able to lock within minutes. Used "faster GPS" and now locks within seconds on a cold lock. I'm very happy now. GPS was unusable before.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] aliu46:
My Sidekick 4G is able to detect the charger (when charger is connected, the red light is on), but it does not charge the battery.

I have tried

-using a few different chargers

-plugging the phone to the computer

Can you help identify the problem for me please? Could the problem be the charging port or the battery? The only way I am able to use my phone is by using an external battery charger.

Thank you
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] mjsell2:
It sounds like either you have usb cable issue or a usb port issue. I had a simular problem with my wife's computer to find out the port wasn't powered. Switched usb port and haven't had an issue since.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
If the information I see is correct, you have a hardware problem: the USB port is the most likely suspect.

It's probably time for a new phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] aliu46:
i did try different usb cables(3 different ones to be exact) and different usb ports

i even tried on a different computer

thanks for the reply guys
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djh:
Try a different battery. If this doesn't work either, try a different phone.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] aliu46:
Yeah, i bought a battery online 2 days ago. I am waiting it to arrive in the mail. Thanks
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
I saw that the GSM networks finally got sorted out for the Razr M, but I just wanted to make sure that im not going to be left without a cellphone. My fear is due to the fact that it uses a micro sim. I just planned on cutting my sim down. once I do, there is no placing back in my old phone.

So, my first question is, can I simply place my tmobile sim card in a COMPLETE STOCK Razr M and have it make calls?

Also, I was curious as to what is the lastest official android version through OTA updates. Im plenty comfertable with rooting and installing recoveries. Im just not sure if I have time this weekend. I was curious what I was going to have to put up with.

Anyways, looking forward to buying the phone. Hopefully if I can get the first question answered, ill have a razr m in the morning :D
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feendster:
If you are in the states it is locked to Verizon. If you are abroad the gsm will work. Verizon locked out TMobil and ATT imsmr. If you get the Aussi version of the phone you would be in biz.

I read somewhere that only Verizon can unlock for t Mobile and ATT. YMMV.

Cheers,

Feend
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic213:
Actually, feendster is incorrect. There's a thread section showing how to mod the droid RAZR m to have full h+ data using T-Mobile while using the stock vzw radio instead of the Aussie radio. Here's the steps from that thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37153091&postcount=182

I'm on T-Mobile using h+ in a refarmed area
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
Ive read that thread quite a bit, but Ive never seen it say that I can just pop in my tmobile card and have it work with voice. I plan on eventually setting up h+, but I dont think I can this weekend. I just want to be able to buy the phone and use it as my primary for the time being. The area i live in seems to have been reaffirmed quite a bit according to the website given in that thread. But still, my original question remains. Can I take my Tmobile sim card and use it in a completely stock Razr M without making any changes.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic213:
If you don't do the mod, the phone won't read the SIM card, since the mod unlocks the phones to use US GSM carriers (AT&T & T-Mobile). Only other option would be to flash the AU radio so you can use Edge, but it's not necessary with this mod. If you follow the instructions, you'll see the mod is relatively easy and very worth it if your on T-Mobile (or AT&T).

And for the record, after doing the mod, you can just pop in the SIM and it works with voice. I had a T-mobile phone until recently when the touchscreen stopped being responsive, and modding this droid razr m to work was my only option without spending alot of money. I put the AU radio on the phone and got my sim card cut at a t-mobile store, popped it in the phone and it was working before I walked out.

The new mod in the thread makes flashing the AU radio unnecessary, as it fully unlocks the stock VZW radio for use with US GSM carriers (it'll read the sim as soon as it's popped in).

For APN settings (Data,MMS), i just replaced the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc and set permissions rw-r--r-- using Root Explorer.

Also, here's some build.prop changes that I added for GSM use.

ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0

telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0

ro.telephony.default_network=0

ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength,datacallapn,singlepdp

ro.ril.enable.a52=0

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.enable.sdr=1

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.enable.gea3=1

ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=1

ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411

ro.ril.disable.mcc.filter=1

ro.ril.hsxpa=2 (or 4)

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10 (or 24)

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hep=1
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
Thanks! I think I got it

So my options out for out the box use are

flashing the aussie radio (voice and only edge data)

or

The "BT Tools/ NV Edit" Mod for the lack of a better name (Voice and H+ in reaffirmed areas)

from my understanding, the 2nd option doesnt require root or recovery. I should pretty much be able to take the phone out of the box, install the drivers and apply the mod.

Is that file you attached the APN setting? I just planned to use tmobiles (epc.tmobile.com along with the other settings)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aslomagic:
That's correct, in fact neither options require rooting or bootloader unlocking :)

I recommend by far that you do the nv edit mod, it's much cleaner and works 100%.

Also, both can be undone, if you were to need the warranty.

Once you do either mod, pop in the sim card and it will work. Ignore the "sim from unknown source" error message, it's harmless.

And yes, look at mic213 post and do (some or all of) those changes to build.prop. I didn't have to mess with apns, the phone somehow figured it out for me... I had to do it when traveling abroad though.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
Well, I got my RAZR M yesterday, and have been using it successfully for 2 days now. I love it! Im coming from a Motorola Defy, which I was actually really content with, but moving on to this really was great.

Tmobile gave me a free micro sim, so I took that. APNs were also pre configured. What benefits do the build.prop changes add? I assume I can just do it with ES file explorer, right? EDIT: I just copied and pasted what you had to my build.prop. I couldent find the fields to modify, so I assume they just were to be added.

Hey guys,

I am thinking on buying this phone' coming from an atrix HD and really liked the phone but I just sold it...

Anyway, I like the size of this phone, and given that everything else is basically the same as the AHD I really think its a good deal. Then only issues I have is that its not as high res screen as the AHD and also that I feel I should just save my $$$ and get a new flagship (X phone maybe )

What do u guys think? :p
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronjojo:
Wow, I'm thinking of switching over from a Defy as well. I love all the work Quarx and all the devs have done for that phone, but I think it's time for new phone.

I also will be on T-mobile, so am curious about your experience so far.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrgyitguy:
I cut my sims myself. You can order a cutter or trace one on yours and cut with scalpel. You can then buy a mini to micro sim adapter and use the sim in any sized sim slot....fyi...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sutitan:
Tmobile offered to cut mine or give me a micro sim for free. I took the free Micro sim. Free and instant is always nice.

Hi all,

Is anyone use this tablet as a phone. I have installed VOIP and able to dial out but only able to talk to the other person using the build-in microphone, which is not too good (echos and not good with a noisy environment) and was unable to use bluetooth. I just wonder maybe the tf700 only likes certain bluebooth type. If anyone able to use bluetooth to talk please let me know the model number. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] cullenmq1:
i use it sometimes to make calls. get a wired headset, download an app called Grooveip, and start using google voice. free calling. also download the google voice app to text. this only works for us and Canada numbers. the one con i found is that there is no picture mail option, but its not that big of a deal
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
+1. Thank you for quick respond, yes, I use Grooveip too, I have tried wired game head set and it's working fine, but just wonder if you have try with bluetooth headset, it just a lot more convience...you know ...no wire! I tried one made by Samsung, the device detected it no problem but no sound either from the caller or they can't hear me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tomn8tr:
I also use GrooveIP and use Arctic Sound P311 Bluetooth headset with it. Works good.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Wow, great news then. Thanks bro! I'm going to get one.

Edit: I just check out the Arctic Sound P311, it seems like not design for phone call, no microphone, just for listening to music?? I'm looking for the bluetooth one that clips to your ear for cell phone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tomn8tr:
It does have a microphone. It is a steroe Bluetooth headset with mic, there just is no protruding boom mic.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
OK, Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
I've been using tablet talk. I use it mostly for texting, but I believe I saw the option to call added recently.

I'll try that option and I'll let you know what the quality was like (if you're interested that is)

Of course this makes use of your cellphone, so it's not a VoIP solution.

Kernels- Stockish 2.1.1

Issue(s)- Keyboard typing goes crazy

Example of issue(s)- If I am typing a message and going fast and spell a word wrong such as "goin" it will autocorrect to "going" but end up like this in the message "goingoing" almost like the autocorrect doesn't correct the word and just writes in front of it. Another issue is similar to the issue in ZV8 were the cursor goes to the front except when i try to delete a letter it will go crazy and will just keep adding the past 2 or 3 letters and end up with like a 1000 letter message.

How to duplicate the issue(s)- Doesn't happen often, the autocorrect happens 7 times out of 10 and the other issue happens 3 times out of 10.

Only way to fix either issue is a reboot. But I have noticed it happening more when the device gets hot, so maybe it has something to do with the "True HD-IPS+" panel and the heat generated from the device. I will try to get a screenshot when it happens again.

EDIT: Joker, do you think heat is causing my issue? Like I said it only happens when the device is warmer than normal. I didn't want to create a new post and kill the thread.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jokersax11:
Heat is caused by 3 main issues

1: quad core/big GPU/huge IPS display sandwiched into device the thickness of a pencil. Not really an issue however combined with...

2: mpdecison. A proprietary binary driver from Qualcomm that helps with making the phone appear smoother than normal by ramping up the clocks and cores unnecessarily. (Will be fixed)

3: poor thermal protection code. This one is part mpdecision's polling method/overwriting the thermal cooldown and inefficient code to prevent overheats.

Normally the CPU should ramp down at 80°C to cool off the CPU and also cut off some cores. At 85 it shuts down. However the code doesn't work properly and is very slow. Combined with mpdecision's polling/override method it can't work properly.

How to fix it. Better thermal protection code and getting rid of mpdecision. Currently mpdecison is what turns off the other CPUs when not in use. So changing to anything but ondemand or turning off mpdesicion results in excessive cores running.

I already added some code to override mpdecison on underclocking to help those with hot phones. More tweaks and fixes will come.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
It's getting away from the thread format but I'll answer it for him.

Most of you see/play with a couple phones a week, I fix as many a 20-30 in one day. Heat will cause the following;

touchscreen issues

signal level issues

call quality issues

display issues

the list goes on......

SOP when trouble shooting phone repairs

Duplicate

Hard reset (Baring obvious issues caused by apps/low memory of course)

Duplicate after hard reset

Possible causes are then Factory Software, hardware or both. (this is why I'm looking for issues affecting multiple ROMs including Stock Locked)

Issue(s)-

1. When typing in a comment box on the browser it is sometimes impossible to move cursor to edge of screen. You can resize the page to the see entire comment box. As soon as you click on the box to type it resizes back. If you need to move your cursor to edit text you can't get the cursor to anything off screen(sliding the cursor).

2. Auto correct duplicating text. I am using Swype. I am not sure if other keyboards do this. This is the same issue joker is describing. I just wanted to let you know I have the same issue and what keyboard I am using. I have had the problem since purchasing the phone and on zv8 and 9.

Example of issue(s)-

1. Typing in a comment box on a forum or posting an ad on craigslist.

2. As stated above.

How to duplicate the issue(s)-

1. The example should explain how to duplicate.

2. As stated above.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Kc, same issue that I explained for your #2 with the text issue?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Yes, same issue. I just wanted to report it also so it makes it clear that the issue is widespread. Plus, if it matters I wanted to share what keyboard I was using. I doubt Swype is the issue but out of curiosity what are you using?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Happens on Android Keyboard, Swift, and stock LG keyboard.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jokersax11:
Yes in normal use it will, extreme use like benchmarking I can only improve how the kernel handles the heat. Better throttling and improved polling can help catch the heat faster before it becomes an issue that could cause damage. This phone is very sensitive to heat. Try leaving it recovery long enough and you'll see what I mean. Hard bricks are the last thing anyone wants even lg/sprint. Radios can also decrease or increase heat as with many many other software related issues. Battery life also drains faster at higher heat levels. I've seen phone(photon) that the charger couldn't keep up with drain until a reboot. Heat being a very obvious symptom on top of the heat. High discharge of the battery also causes heat, as does poor connections to the battery.

Issues(s)- bluetooth

[Example of issue(s)- bluetooth drops on pickup of phone call.

ROM-Stock ZV8 and ZV9 (eco mode)

Kernel-3.0.21 (assuming all)

Issues(s)- Keyboard freaks out while typing, causes duplication of words and network connection drop

Example of issue(s)- While typing a message using stock keyboard, cursor will "lock up" for a moment and "autocorrect" my word attaching the full word onto the partial. (e.g. "Hello how are you *doidoing*) I have noticed that my network/wifi connection drops momentarily afterward, even with excellent signal.

How to duplicate the issue(s)- Might be heat related; happens often after playing games or watching youtube and while charging. Go watch an episode of Dragon Ball Z Abridged on youtube or play some Jetpack Joyride then try to text a few pages afterward. Typing quickly might help replicate issue as well. If able to duplicate typing issue, spam it as much as possible and check network connection; see if wifi/3g/4g drops connection completely.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
When I watch videos or play games the device gets hot and I can confirm the device is still hot when I send the text message. So I am still assuming heat related.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
ive had it happen plenty of times when the device was not hot so it may not be
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Weird, every time it happens to me the device is hot. These issues are very confusing.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jorgis1:
You guys should turn off autocorrect unless you really need it. I have it off and have never experienced any typing issues.

ROM - Stock & Stock Rooted ZV9

Kernel - Stock

Issue - Bluetooth won't connect to other phones after random reboot during a Bluetooth connection

Example of issue - When you try to connect the LGOG and another device together via Bluetooth, they can "see" each other and pair. However, they won't actually connect. This happened to me after initially making a Bluetooth connection with another phone. During a transfer of pictures to the other device, my LG rebooted and has not been able to connect to ANY phone since.

How to duplicate issue - I would assume it may be completely random but it happened to me the first time I ever used it on the phone. Connect via Bluetooth to another phone. I used a GS3. Do some transferring of files back and forth. LGOG may reboot at some point during connection. At first, I couldn't connect to ANYTHING via bluetooth. But oddly after a few weeks, I could connect to headsets and speakers. However, i have never been able to connect to another phone since day 3.

@Lokifish - I read that you were very interested in issues occurring in stock locked ROMs. This happened to me before I rooted or unlocked my bootloader. But I've also had it reboot on me after I rooted and unlocked when I was trying to test pair with my friends GS2. I've had this issue since I basically got the phone. Doesn't make sense that my bluetooth works for everything except phones
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
Testing Update:

So instead of testing everything I focused on one well known constant, Ingress. I've tried to duplicate any of these issues on a Hero, Evo Shift, HTC View, Original Galaxy Tab (wifi & Sprint), Atrix, Photon, Photon Q, Nexus One, GNex and Nexus7.

The worst and only consistent issue I came across was the Nexus 7 from time to time shows no graphics when starting Ingress then force closes. Except for the obvious, like the Hero lagging really bad, none of these devices are anywhere near as unstable as the Optimus G.

Yeah, LG needs to fix some stuff.

BTW- The AT&T Optimus is having the same issues.
