Im on windows 8. I have both the pc suite and the updater tool from pantech. Also downloaded the.drivers seperately

and neither program will find the phone.

usb debugging is on. While new to the burst not so new to rooting. I have 2 Samsung captivates rooted and rommed and an HTC Droid incredible rooted and rommed.

Thanks.

I'm going.to read up on all those. My main focus really is just to get the phone updated to ICS and then rooted and sim unlocked to run on T-Mobile. I cracked my note 2 and this will serve until get a replacement.

So how do I get the updater to recognize the device? Then how to get adb to recognize the device?

OK so ill have to find another.computer to use. I need me some ics love root and similar unlock. The captivate doesn't do so well on T-Mobile. Maybe this will do better?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nightfire37:
My phone is under a T-Mobile sub carrier so I can tell you first hand experience. You will not get 3G. The radio isnt compatible with it but you will receive 4G and maybe LTE. Try our JB roms. They are way better then ICS and you will get better performance out of it. There will be some graphical issues because of the video driver. My recommendation is CM10 because that one is still being updated. If you want a pure fast experience SlimBean is best and there is alot more customization you can do than CM10. Example being is color of your clock, full transparency of your notification bar and the list goes on. Im on CM10 right now and i might switch to SlimBean just because of how fast it is......

after flashing CM10 i've noticed that gps has very bad accuracy (comparing to stock 4.0.4 rom).

as an example. tracking on stock rom:

tracking on latest cm10:

i tried to use gps.conf from stock - nothing changed. replacing gps *.so libs with same libs from stock also not working.

is there any way to increase gps accuracy?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herecomesmaggi:
First of all try anyother app to check whether its gps issue or CM10. Me too confused from this. Nice find, Let me check.

However I don't blame developers they are working their ass off for us and we always start searching for bugs. :p;)

For me it worked on win 8, as i have posted instructions on erodov i.e. First of all don't install any driver, pc suite or anything.. Connect usb, Win8 will automatically install drivers then install pc suite and upgrade tool. You will be gud to go.

If problem persist then reinstall pantech driver v1.1 present in pc suite installation folder...

Actually i swapped to win 8 when upgrade scheme was available. :D

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hawkwind212:

Well, lately as soon as I encountered a bug I immediately relate the cause with CM10, thinking there can't be any other reason than because I'm running the app on the custom ROM. Often my immediate solution is to revert back to the stocked ROM. Instead of investigate further and find out what's really going on. Take my last issue of phone crashing, the whole time that I'm thinking is a bug within cm10, the real corporate is actually a phone recording app running in the background. Once the app was disabled, everything went back to normal. For a phone ROM that's created by a group of volunteers without pay, it's really remarkable that the ROM running as smooth as it is. Therefore next time I discover another bug, I'll not so quick to conclude that is a fault within the ROM. Instead I'll investigate further and find out what's really going on.

How to remain Safe from Brick ?? (Burst)

How to remain Safe from Brick ??

I have been lurking around recovery, flashing , updater tool etc. Would like to suggest few Points to remember,

NEVER PULL OUT A BATTERY IN CASE STUCK AT FLASHING... IN FACT TRY TO KEEP SET ALIVE BY CONNECTING CHARGER.

1). Always keep a flashable zip of any ROM in sd card.. If Stuck in flash it might help you from adb (avoiding any pull of battery).

Its only 160MB, and believe me that would save you from brick at some instant.

2). Try to keep USB debugging ON by default.

3). Never pull out battery, if stuck during flash. In fact put the charger in and keep set alive as much as you can.

A flash is basically considered to be stuck at kernel and everyone knows if kernel flash is incomplete, device is an elegant paper weight.

4).Adb works in recovery, even at flashing. I just tested it. So be fast to work towards adb not pulling out battery.

5). Updater tool doesn't work in recovery mode but Android tool does (Tested by me). But Use Android tool as a Second way out after Adb as files overwriting could not be completed due to recovery.(I cant test that :P )

6). Using Adb in recovery is as same, as normal :D

Here are the events that led to my brick

I queued about 5-6 zips for flash on twrp.

When I flashed, the screen went black, and the phone vibrated when I hit power button. I pulled the battery and it booted fine into the recovery, I flashed the slimbean zip but the flashing took forever so I pulled the battery and bam, no boot.

The phone only goes into qdload mode.

Thankfully I managed to get another burst with a broken screen.

So I suggest all users to not pull the battery when flashing and to be careful while flashing latest slimbean release. I say so because it happened to another person on the g+ page.

Its almost impossible to revive the device and not worth your time.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ninjah:
this is not slimbeem issue
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mrakattack:
Definitely not a slimbean issue, as I am running the latest public release marduk191 was kind enough to build, everything works great. Remember to flash the rom and the AIO addons, boot, wait for it to fully boot then back into recovery and flash areola kernel and boot back in.

My question is did you wipe system, cache, dalvik etc once you were finally back in recovery?

Sounds to be a kernel issue to me, but don't take my word for it.

Every bloody brick is somehow kernel issue... :D:mad:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] hawkwind212:
Excuse me brothers (and sisters if there are female present) of cm10 discussion thread. Just want to change subject of bricking to a feature of cm10 for a min. I always had an issue with cm10 ROM running on my phone, due to that at some point in time I can't watch my favorite shows on hbogo, max go, and showtime apps. Today I connected dots and figured out that it was those programs that I turn on in accessibility menu, to collect data in the background, that's interfering with the media apps. I also had the problem with my phone reading in voice every Web pages I ever opened back to me. That also solved by turning off Web script and those programs that are collecting data. So next time when one of your favorite app suddenly stops working, before you blame cm10, check the accessibility menu first. That's all I want to share. Now you can go back to the phone bricking issue, it's getting interesting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adizz4:
Yes, I did wipe everything except the sdcards. Someone needs to find out whats causing the phone to not flash properly else more people will have a bricked device.

Could it be possible that TWRP didn't actually wipe everything?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herecomesmaggi:
Definitely Dont pull the battery during flash instead try adb... Thats not slimbean issue cause i am using it but somehow you were stuck in flash. It could be anything.

Brick can happen flashing stock doesn't it ?? Its not always the bad zip but it is procedure that goes bad.

I am curious Is flashing gapps is also dangerous?? :D

Flowed from Burst !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hawkwind212:
Imo it's one of those thing that has a statistical equation that you can use to calculate the likelihood of your phone being bricked on your next flash. People being bricking their phone since google came out with android. I think the more you flash the ROM, the more likely you will bricking the phone, according to the law of large number anyway. Imo flashing process wears down the phone's hardware since flashing is actually burning the codes into the ROM. Since the ROM is suppose to be the read only device. If you treat it like a SD, sooner or later you're going to get a reality check. The only sure way of avoiding the brick is don't flash your ROM like someone told me once. But like I told that person, it's the risk I'm willing to take for using awesome ROM such as cm10.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herecomesmaggi:
It could be possible. But how does wiping effects flash. I have flashed 2-3 times without any wipe. U just have to clean dalvik and cache. :confused:

However i flashed same version of rom, data was also preserved.

I won't recommend flashing without wipe if rom version is different.

I have feeling that someone should contact pantech about qdload, If they have their kernels open sourced, might they share their tools with us. ;):p

Flowed from Burst !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adizz4:
That's exactly what I was thinking, the roms are all based off of CM10 and they're all the same android version so whether I wipe or not shouldn't make a huge difference but I wiped anyway.

I highly doubt Pantech would help us with that. If they did though, we could bring back an awful lot of bursts back to life.

This phone needs alot more TLC I guess, I used a ZTE Blade before and that thing was almost unbrickable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nightfire37:
Pantech has to have there kernels open sourced because of the GNU General Public License. If they don't major financial issues would be sent to Pantech. Android itself is under the Apache. Pantech has the right to release the source code of its android build but isnt required. Pantech is forced to release the kernel. That is why you only see the kernel on pantech's open source website.

I'm using the latest build of cm10 and can't seem to get BT file transfer to work between 2 bursts both running cm10. Once paired the only profile that appears for either device under BT settings is for BT tether which is checked and can't seem to uncheck it. Any ideas?

Edit: after further experimenting I have discovered the following. I can pair with another device that does not have BT tether capabilities and transfer files both ways with no problem. I think the BT tether option in cm10 is what's messing it up somehow. I cannot uncheck the BT tether and file transfers won't work between 2 bursts running cm10. Is there a way to disable this? I have checked the setting under tethering and hotspot and BT tether is disabled there.

Trying to run a phone call recording app call "automatic call recording" It was working fine on ICS custom ROM "Gizmolord v4rc7" Now I can't get it to work correctly on cm10. The only way that it'll record is turn the recording source to mic and turn on the speaker phone while recording. I heard that cm developers purposely left out the ability to run phone recording app properly in their ROM. Something has to do with being illegal to record another person's conversation without he/her consent in some countries. Is it true what I just said? Also, in cm10's dialer screen, there is a mic icon, what does it do?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ccdreadcc:
Im using gizmolord .. And call recording function is not there, we need a patched kernel for that to work.. And yes its illegal..

Last time when I used call recording app on Gizmolord it worked fine. Also, it's been argued over and over again, so I don't really want to discuss the illegality of recording calls, it's legal in USA, I hate to keep using this example, but it's very self evident, credit card company's customer phone service, right before you talk to anybody, automated voice always tell you that the conversation might be recorded for quality control purpose.

I can guarantee u that it does not work on roms based on stock as stock kernel does not hve that patch..

Which call recording app do u use?

-> Sent from my xtremed and 50% supcharged potato oO <-
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hawkwind212:
The app is called "automatic call recording", I bought it for $5 from the app store. With so many call recording apps for sale in the play store, you may want to reconsider that guarantee. I listened to many phone conversations I recorded while the app was working, they were loud and clear, I know I wasn't dreaming. The reason I even think about using the recording app was because when I was using window mobile phone, it was one of the standard feature. As matter of fact, the app I used on the window mobile is called "call recording" by clever mobile, which also makes the exact same app for android phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hawkwind212:
This is kind of embarrassing, Once again I put my foot in my mouth. I went back and listened to the phone recordings I made, and those that were supposed to be good were actually not so good. I only recorded my voice, but didn't include the person at the other end. So you were right, who ever said Pantech burst can't record phone calls without tweaking the kernel first. However, from some articles I read, some Android phones brand, such as Samsung, Sony, and LG, should be able to record phone calls.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ccdreadcc:
There is a thread giving details about the process of patching the kernel source with the call recording ability..

I had already requested kernel devs to include the patch in cm porting thread.. But it seems to hv been trashed..

It just with so many recorder apps in the store, you would think that call recording ability be a normn in Android handsets. It was a feature I took for granted on my Window mobile phone. I also had a custom ROM running on my win mobile phone, and the creator cooked the recording patch in his ROM. Hope that will be the case here with our ROM, that ability to record calls will be built into future ROM release.
