[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cg87:
I don't think you understand my question or you refuse to understand it. My question is:

Are there any reports of bricks when used the the 2.22.19.26I and the newer 2.22.23.02 radio?

I didn't bother to read through the entire thread and I don't there are any. If there is, you can bet that EVERYONE will be taking about it.

Are you taking about this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627518

That seems to be a lot of work to do each time you flash a new rom especially since most users flashes a new roms every other day. Yes, it can be done but too much of a hassle.

From what I read on the forums, the benefit of the Danger SPL is to increase the size of the system and data partition by shrinking the size of the cache partition. The cache partition is used to store OTA updates but rooted users don't need/receive the updates and we come to XDA to flash new roms :cool:. So I don't really understand your logic where the space is "wasted".

Why bother to put the excess files in the cache partition when you can simply shrink the cache partition and make the system partition bigger? The end results are the SAME only with less work.

YES, we know that the Danger SPL causes bricks when used with OLDER radios and maybe newer radios. But RIGHT NOW, the Danger SPL works fine with the two radios. Until there are ANY reports of bricks when used with the two radios, THE DANGER SPL IS SAFE TO USE.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
When the SPL first appeared, some people did report bricking with the 26I radio. These could've been bad flashes or user error, but I do remember it happening to a couple of people and the cause was uncertain.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cg87:
I don't have anything against you but I find it funny that you are calling haykuro a **** when you are actually using the SPL he made. And I don't there is any point of continuing this discussion about whether or not to flash the Danger SPL. It's ultimately up to the user to decide.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I was very specific about the answer.

YES.

There are, and some people ARE talking about it... the rest are in denial.

Hardly a hassle AT ALL.

You only need to do it ONCE -- write a little script to do it automatically every other time.

This should only be a problem for newbs.

That is not a benefit. That is a SERIOUS PROBLEM with it.

The WASTED space is the FREE SPACE in the /system partition that you end up with AFTER writing your system image.

If, as should be the case, all system images were designed to work with standard SPLs, then you would be running about 30 MB of wasted space on every device with the deathspl on it and ZERO wasted space on other devices.

/cache space, though typically not used except for OTA updates, is not WASTED since you can trivially move your user-installed applications there by creating a little symlink.... or you could move your dalvik-cache there -- it even makes sense!

MORE work, more risk.

If there WAS no deathspl, then EVERY too-large system image would use this approach! In which case, it would be EXTRA WORK to move them back into your too-large (non-standard) /system partition!

ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT!!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
I'm still using it because I flashed it in ignorance when it was first released and have had no reason to change it. Now that I know a lot more about what it is and what it does, I realise it was a bit of a pointless idea by Haykuro and if he'd really thought about it there was no reason to spread the idea. I think he just got caught up in the excitement of it actually working when he tried it.

Haykuro didn't make anything btw, it's just the SPL from a sapphire. He may have hex-edited a partition boundary but nothing more.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
This isn't a question about convincing YOU. You are free to do what you like.

This is a question of providing FULL INFORMATION to newbs who might potentially brick their phones.

On one hand, you have a bunch of clowns saying crap like "it worked for me, so it must be good" without understanding the issues, and on the other hand, there are TONS of bricks out there caused by trying this.

Now you're just going to sit there, when asked POINT BLANK by a newb if it is safe and say "YEP"?

To make an informed decision, it is necessary to have ALL of the pertinent information.

Argue all you want, but in the end, you are just spewing opinion and speculation. What I say is based on FACT, which is formulated through OBSERVATION of MANY people trying this (and many bricking) and not just based on a tiny personal sampling of one or two devices that just happened to work. What about all the devices for which it did NOT work? Just cover it up? That is DISHONEST!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
These are STILL trickling out. If you read all the threads that appear on this forum, then you start to notice that there is another brick created about every week or two, even when starting with the correct radio version.

I think that the key that you mention is "cause was uncertain".
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Nope. Not a single byte modified.

If he had been editing partition boundaries, it would have made a LOT more sense to edit the 0.95.3000 SPL.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I would like to point out that your typical bricked user isn't likely to hang around here yapping. Once the phone is bricked, that's it. They go away, maybe to a totally different phone.

And even more bricked users will have not posted a single thing to begin with!

In other words, the number of bricks we SEE HERE is likely VERY TINY compared to the real number that exist.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koyto:
lbcoder, you mentioned a set up using symulink, I was wondering if you had a link to a tutorial or if you could explain it, thanks, and does have the symulink set up allow you to flash any rom to a stock/hard spl? I was leaning towards trimming the rom as provided by the link in the second post, but if the symulink is just as easy i'd be intrested, thanks again.
[XPERIA X2 General] thetrousershop:
hi every one i just received my xperia x2 today. its very slow as compared to xperia x1. however sometimes (1 in 15 times)

problem 1: when i click on start the menu screen goes blank

problem 2: when i press start menu screen shows icons but when i scrol them up and down it gives distortion and leaves trails. dont know whats wrong but it only happens couple of time

all the above things happens only on start menu screen and not on panel screen

i just need some information regarding if its a software problem or something wrong with the screen cable.

plz help i am thinking to send the device back as its still under 14 days peace of mind days:confused::(
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
even for the X2 these are both unusual problems... try updating the firmware just incase youve got an earlier version. check in settings then device information - it should be R1AA097. go to the sony ericsson website and find the X2 support page. download the firmware updater and update if it isnt.

theres also a small software update available here.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/update/locale

but if those dont work then send it back while you still can.
[XPERIA X2 General] Draken Korin:
I have no experience with X2 but as a first approach I would try to connect it to SEUS to see whether firmware is up-to-date

here's also an app-to-date howto on youtube, maybe that gives additional insight

if that doesn't help you can still contact service or send it back

Ed. OK, too slow...
[XPERIA X2 General] MrLeche:
What's the update on this? My cousin also told me she had a very laggy X2. She has the X1, X2 and Iphone altogether. She'll be complaining the X2 tomorrow on SE Service Center.
[XPERIA X2 General] 3aZoOoF:
x2 is disapponinting
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
teeter.apk is the HTC game called Teeter. The one with the silver ball you roll around into the appropriate hole.
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
HTC_IME is the HTC keyboard called Touch Input, and it used Clicker.apk to calibrate it.

Felt this should be addressed since non Desire ROM's don't have this by default. Unless you add it in of course.
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
I was actually thinking of how to do this prom the PC...just now. Thanks for the guide. But what's the command to list files in current directory...ls?
[Nexus One General] Domskibus:
Unfortunately i cant uninstall the Amazon App.

Where is the mistake?:confused:
[Nexus One General] McFroger3:
Type

adb remount

before you do the commands.
[Nexus One General] TurboTsi:
what is the difference between rm -r xxxxx.apk to adb uninstall xxxx.apk? They both uninstall them right? Or am I missing something...
[Nexus One General] setzer715:
You can always boot into recovery and:

adb shell mount /system

adb shell rm /system/app/xxxx.pk

To look what is there:

adb shell ls /system/app
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
Okay...I've removed all ringtones from the phone. Now I want to put in my own ringtones from the computer. How do I copy all the ringtones I have all at once to the phone instead of one by one?
[Nexus One General] qiuness:
Damn i deleted the CalendarProvider which i`m guessing handles the sync with google.

Can someone with a Desire Alpha 14 upload the CalendarProvider.apk somewhere?

Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind i just unzipped the contents of the ROM and pulled it out from there... working again :)
[Nexus One General] setzer715:
Just put em on your sdcard, the phone will find them automatically. For mp3's you may have to install ring droid or rings extended.
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Why not just use Root Explorer (or equiv), navigate to system/app, mount as r/w, find the file you want and rename it to file.apk.bak, revert back to r/o there you go?

You don't need and PC and you can get it back any time this way.
[Nexus One General] ccunningham83:
Previously, I was using:

adb remount

adb shell

adb rm -r xxxxx.apk

I tried using:

adb remount

adb uninstall xxxx.apk

It keeps saying

Failure

Does adb uninstall work? If so what am I doing wrong?
[Nexus One General] SubyWill:
this way worked fantastic!!!
[Nexus One General] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
+1 for this. Very helpfull
[Nexus One General] qiuness:
updated the app list with some more that were present on the latest A19 Desire ROM
[Nexus One General] shograt:
I don't understand the insistence on using adb; all of this can be done from within the terminal emulator just fine.

I just removed Music.apk via this method, via the phone, no connection to a PC needed. Also backed it up first via the terminal.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
some prefer to type on a full-sized keyboard when available?
[Nexus One General] shograt:
Sure, I guess I can understand that.

I guess from my end, it's more spite, defiance, etc - one of the things I detested about the iphone was the requirement of attaching it to a PC (and of having to keep a windows install running, no itunes on linux). Being able to do damned close to everything directly on the phone, is one of the things I love about this phone.
[Nexus One General] EQUiLiiBRiUM:
Any Way I can remove Read only Files Like The Amazon mp3 Store without Rooting my Phone ? :confused: ?

I would love that too, for the Nexus One
[HD2 General] uplate:
Went through a little bit of work and thought id share.

The only provider of 3G in Alaska at this time, that I have been able to discern is At&t. The At&t network here is not as developed as their counterpart CDMA providers. Meaning the GSM phone is not idel in most of the state. With this being said. I haven't had to many problems with GSM service here in over 6 years.

So this being my second unlocked phone (first is a IMATE KJAM). I decided to research into 3G for my upgrade. I tend to keep phones a bit longer than most. This meant I had to have what I demend the best replacement. Also WINMO was a must (allthough ANDROID was tempting ;) ). The HTC HD2 fit the bill nicely.

I would need a HD2 that ran on the AT&T 850 MHZ band for 3G.This meant getting one of the Australian TELSTRA T9193 HD2's. As I found out its gonna cost about $400.00 more for this model HD2 :(. So I bit the bullet. Found a supplier on EBAY. Shelled out the cash, and in 4 days its was here :).

With the help of these forums. I was able to flash a custom rom (Artemis HD2 version 5.0). Within a half hour of unboxing my fantastic new toy. I then did a hard reset. After which i sat in basked in the glory that is the HD2.

Data settings are a little off up here in Alaska. I'm on AT&T but we use CELLULAR ONE (DOBSON) for data (I.E. Internet). So going to my SETTINGS menu on the HD2. I found the WIRELESS CONTROLS tab (had to scrole to the top) and clicked it. I then went to the DATA CONNECTION tab and clicked it. Under CONNECTION SETUP i set COUNTRY to UNITED STATES and OPERATOR to CELLULAR ONE (DOBSON CELLULAR). Then hit OK or whatever the execute button was. The phone did its thing. This was fantastic compared to other unlocked phones I've hooked up in the past. I found there to be a problem with the PROXY setting. So back under WIRELESS CONTROLS i hit the MENU tab (its at the bottom). Then hit the CONNECTIONS tab. This pulled up the old standard modem connections. At the top it said CELLONEWAP. Under this I navigated to MANAGE EXISTING CONNECTIONS and hit it. At the top of the next screen you find PROXY SETTINGS. There 2 check boxes uncheck the second one down (THIS NETWORK USES A PROXY SERVER TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET). Hit OK twice and your almost done :rolleyes:. Under WIRELESS CONTROLS I turned on my now working DATA CONNECTION and 3G using the switch on the right.

Presto ALASKAN HD2 3G :cool:.

Hope this helps any of you if your up here in the Far North :D.
[HD2 General] Akira_kj:
My old Dobson account never worked right on my Gen1 Iphone (pre-att carry). Give me a shout! Alaska Hacks the HD2 Right!

-Currently No Edge(something with wap.cingular proxy) I connect but no internet. Keep'n IT Real.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
wow!!!

I left alaska in 2001 with some no name prepaid, outrageously priced phone.

Glad to see they are almost up with the times!:D
[HD2 General] Akira_kj:
Do you have the cell one setting you used? I'd like to run Edge with my TMOUS HD2 but cant get it to connect. I have an old CellOne Sim card and I suspect thats the issue. THe last time I tryed to get a new Sim from ATT they said I need a new contract. Currenlty I spend $92 for 2 phones 750 anytime minutes shared and unlimited data I didnt see a current contract that was competitive.
[HD2 General] ALLDAT:
you dont reed new contract to get new sim card..
[HD2 General] Pitchb3nd:
I'm facing this weird problem.

I can't play videos from Manila or album, when I click on the video nothing happens, when I shoot a video everything seems normal except I can't play it. It's thumbnail shows normally in the stack of photos but clicking it does nothing.

Any idea what may be the problem (tried SR, hopping to fix avoiding a HR)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hakujin:
This may seem like a dumb question to many of you, but I've been out of the loops for years now... last rom i updated was on my HTC SDA! Anyway, I see a lot of ROMs circulating here, but am unsure if the lowest common denominator for all these is the GSM version; more so, if there's even a community for cooked Sprint ROMs here for the HTC hero. I'm looking to switch to Sprint; pick up a Hero, and hopefully put a quasi 2.1 Eclair on here before the official rls. date, and w/o all the obligatory Sprint bloatware.

Thanks in advance for any answers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrchu001:
there is a CDMA Hero subforum! :]
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
To give some background, I've used so many winmo devices and have had no problems unlocking and installing ROMs, etc.

but, now that i've jumped to android i'm just extremely confused with where to start.

to be honest, i am happy with the stock ROM, but i'd like to be able to utilize more RAM, tether, etc. i prefer stability over appearance, so i could care less about having the HTC desire look & feel.

It seems that nearly all of the ROMs are providing the desire look...and I don't even where to begin in rooting my device. Is it possible to root the device, take advantage of extra RAM, while still using the stock ROM?

If there's someone that can walk me through this on AIM or something, i'd be happy to paypal them some $ for their time.
[Nexus One General] JJackson9995:
Why not use Cyanogens Mod? It's not Desire, and works perfect...

[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
Just followed all of the steps, thinking I did everything correctly.

I rebooted the phone as per the last step from the recovery screen, and now all I have is the fancy boot animations looping on my device, nothing further is happening at all!

I'm not sure if it's safe to do a battery pull? I've already done the flashing, etc...
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
Tried a battery pull - and it's still doing the same thing.

Not sure how to proceed with this now.

Edit: Just wiped, and am reflashing.

Edit 2: All good now! phew
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Good to hear!

Just a little tid bit, the only time you need to worry about if a battery pull is a bad idea is when you are flashing a radio, or SPL(down the road when there are new ones). If you are seeing boot animations, as you were, there is no fear in a battery pull... and the loop you experienced was a result of not wiping properly.
[Nexus One General] Orangeandblue302:
lol this made me laugh childishly.
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
Weird...could have sworn I had wiped it the first time...

Anyways, no big deal. All is well now.

I set my phone into airplane mode once it was fully charged during night time. Once I woke in the morning (about 7 hours), I saw the battery remained 92%, do you guys think is normal?

The reason I'm asking it is because I had flashed my phone to CM5 recently and if I remember correctly (however, I can't be sure), the battery life was remain around 97% (same as above what I had done) in the original ROM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verboten:
Once I swithched from Iphone 3g to my Nexus one, I have set the iphone to airplane mode. I still use my Iphone as a VOIP phone when connected to wifi. Well, ever since I put my iphone into airplane mode, the battery lasts 10x longer than before.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
You might have apps and services running in the background and eating battery!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devastatin:
Boot into safe mode then airplane mode and let us know what its like then.

1. Power the device off.

2. Power the device on.

3. When the logo appears, press and hold the Trackball button.

4. Continue holding the Menu button until you see the home screen.

The words Safe Mode should appear in the lower left corner if you performed the steps correctly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ringolrh:
Thks, will try that :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ringolrh:
I just couldn't go into safe mode because it just kept reboot my phone :-(

Anyway, I'll just try to disable some backgrounds app, then go into airplane mode and monitor further.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
orry paul : /

ive been getting more and more failed texts lately, the phone just cant send them, sometimes i reset the phone and they work, sometimes not. All of my friends with iphones and blackberrys say its happened to them maybe once or twice a year. So is it TMobile or is this just another in the seemingly endless list of android's failures? Android is my first smart phone, my g1, mytouch and nexus have all had similar problems im just wondering if other popular smart phones have the level of problems android does....i realize all phones have issues and android is still young (although that excuse is getting pretty tired) but its just all the damn time with these phones. I love android but at some point the phone's got to either work or im out...thanks

what messaging app are you using? Handcent seems to work for me rather well. I'm not too sure about the native messaging as I don't use it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Same crap happens to me and I'm using stock sms.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djn541:
Try out handcent. If you have problems, the developer is very easy to get in touch with and actually works with you to find the problem:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Used it before, same issues. I don't think it matters what you use, I think its a bug in the Android OS itself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.cortez:
from time to time, i've experienced SMS send failures on all of my smartphones, WinMo & Android. a soft reset/reboot seems to correct the problem. to the OP, what ROM are you using? have you asked T-Mo if they've been having issues with SMS messages? hope you get it resolved soon!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
first of all, sorry that my post sounds so grouchy. My phone isnt rooted, but i do recall similar problems on my g1 and it was rooted, mytouch was not rooted but had same problems. Its not so much THAT it happens, because im sure it happens across the board to all phones, its just that it happens about every other day which seems a bit much for competitive smartphone software (of course, i am not smart so ive no idea that its the software and not the hardware or carrier, im just poorly connecting what dots i do have...) I had the problem with stock app and i tried chomp, same issues so i went back to stock, again same issue so i currently have handcent (which is an awesome app but i just hate having two icons/apps for the same purpose when im only using one of them).

the issue happens with handcent, and every time before restarting the phone i try the stock app and it doesnt work so im guessing its not the particular app, TMobile definitely has poor signal quality compared to the other major carriers, but i have 3g and full bars here in san antonio for the most part. If its not a particular app, i assume there is something in the android system that text messaging uses regardless of what app is being used; since i have 3g and full bars im led to believe its something in the android system? But again, android smartphones are the only smartphones ive had so i dont know if its just the nature of texting although like i mentioned the other two phones i have several friends who own report very very rare if any text messaging issues...

android is such an impressive software, so sophisticaed that i can understand that some part could mess up another part and cant be resolved without messing up yet another part. I cant even begin to imagine how to resolve all of the software issues android has, but if apple can do it, im confident google can too. i just hope the forthcoming litigation doesnt affect the efforts, i already feel like ive been waiting for some fixes for a long time, but thats probably due at least in part to my extreme, childish, and uncontrollable impatience...
