[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
I rooted a friends eris today and flashed senseable and got stuck in a boot loop. It was a refurb with the 1.49 bootloader so I decided to put the engineered bootloader (1.49.2000 or whatever it is) on it then I installed the original root rom via fastboot and it booted up normally. Could be different circumstances though.

[Droid Eris Android Development] TopazAaron:
did you wipe factory / dalvik before you restored the backup?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Zerox8610:
yes i did. and i just found out that it will boot if i reload tazz's v3
[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
Shouldn't matter. A restore wipes everything and puts the phone exactly as it was when you did the backup. Worth a shot though

[Droid Eris Android Development] Zerox8610:
Well i tried it and it did nothing. both times. just stuck on boot loop unless i load the Froyo ROM again
[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
Maybe try downloading a rom you haven't tried before. Could be a corrupted restore file.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
ok and youve tried using all of your nands to restore correct?

and the sdcard isn't still the issue correct?

i was stuck in a bootloop for 13 hours thinking i bricked until i swapped in an old sdcard from an old phone that was formatted to full fat 32(that i preloaded with a few roms for ease of use), only then could i do anything from recovery. also the old a2sd method doesn't work in froyo im sure youve noticed that by now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SplicedX:
did you do a wipe of the ext partition? i had a problem with xtrROM 3.1 running boot loops because i didnt wipe the ext partition. once i did, everything was fine!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Zerox8610:
I broke down and did a full Fat 32 format. working with Froyo for now. If i have any trouble with other roms later ill post it.

Thanks for the help guys
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
only thing that i know of that will help that situation, for future usage though you might want to invest in a second sdcard, one for old Eclair and one for FroYo
[Droid Eris Android Development] intermediate Droid:
Same thing happens to me I was stuck with plain Jane v1 for a while and couldn't use any other rom because bootloop but then flashed kaosfroyo then everything went back to normal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zwade01:
This is a great suggestion, I've been doing that since froyo came out. It sure saves a lot of time.

Hey i was wondering im new can i change the theme without rooting the phone. Such as battery color and toolbar and menu colors and icon images? i heard of PANDAHOME? Does this program do what i listed for changes? if not what app or way will it work? IF I NEED TO ROOT WHATS THE SAFIEST WAY I SEE THERES DIFFERNT TYPE OF ROOTS WHICH IS THE BEST AND FASTEST?
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Now I'm sad to get rid of Wireless Tether for Root Users. It got me though so many months of unauthorized tethering, but it doesn't have a toggle in Extended Controls.

Edit: Is there any way to make it remember my SSID and security? Every time I turn it on it resets to null and open.
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
Which built-in hotspot?

Are you referring to the built-in hotspot in CM6 or the official hotspot provided by Sprint? I just used started using the official hotspot today because so far wireless tether for rooted users app is not working in 2.2

I must say it feels comfy knowing now if my internet goes out I can just call up Sprint.:cool: Plus I think it opens up more COM ports over 3G.
[Windows Mobile] patensas:
Okay guys i need some help here.

Everytime i use a Settings Improvement Package from one of the latest Huashan ROM's it changes the Serial Number shown in "Phone identity"

Can some one tell me where this change takes place?

I recovered all other issues such as bold font issue but can't find the solution for the Serian Number.
[Windows Mobile] lecamtran:
For .reg in the Kitchen you then edit as you want...:) Download in attachment...:D
[Windows Mobile] patensas:
Thanks for your reply but this isn't the issue. Somewhere in the Settings Improvement Package the serial numbers gets set. When i use an older package it showes the right serial but when i change it to a newer version things get changed.
[Windows Mobile] maesus:
Use Settings Improvement 1.0.20111623 instead.
[Windows Mobile] patensas:
Yas that's whaty i`m using and it works flawless however i would like to know why the latest packages change serial and how to fix this ( if it can be fixed )
[Windows Mobile] maesus:
seems to be hard coded in the EXE file to point to a different register / address. I looked at the XML and couldn't find any hint. Maybe there's some hidden Registry settings allowing to do that but not to my knowledge.

Apps starting on their own. Anyone have these issues? All the att stuff is gone but the video and music player are open randomly as well as quik office. I can see gmail opening and others tho check for updates
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Yes, this annoys the hell out of me. I wish I knew what to do to stop it. I've even downloaded an app that's supposed to stop things from auto-starting, and it doesn't even work.
[Captivate General] LGSilva:
Search for StartUp Auditor on the market, it may work for you.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
On the advice of this forum I uninstalled my app killer. From time to time I use Android System to see what's running and I notice a number of apps that start themselves. These include the stock music and video players along with Slacker Radio, AT$T Maps, eBay, GPS Status and a dozen others at various times. I don't mean they remain running after exiting, I mean they start without my having used them. What could be causing these apps to start when not called upon? The ones that use GPS put a significant drain on the battery without me knowing it. Any ideas what triggers these apps? I think I'm going back to using an app killer.:mad:
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Mine does the same thing. I have Advanced task killer on mine. I dont use it to kill apps, just to look and see how much ram is free and whats running. But all kinds of junk opens by itself.
[Captivate General] dieselstation:
so does anyone have a fix for this?
[Captivate General] diablo009:
What use is free RAM when it is kept free all the time?

Use "start up auditor". With personal experience, this only slowed down my system.

This is now android works. The way I see this, this is very much similar to "pre-fetch" concept in windows 7.

I have a 6 GB RAM laptop. Base OS uses less than 1.5 GB of RAM. But like an hour or so when I see my RAM usage, its to the tune of 3-4 GB. What I have noticed is that my most frequently/recently used apps are loaded to RAM and kept there idle. Some amount of RAM is always kept free instead of using up all RAM. This way apps start faster. When I load a different memory heavy program, it pushes the existing one out and loads this.

More or less the same in android too. When u go to any task manager app n see the running apps, u'll notice that many of the apps loaded are the ones u use frequently.

These apps do NOT use any CPU. They are just loaded to memory and kept there for quick access.

When I boot up my phone I have like 190+ MB free RAM. Though left in standy mode, within an hour, I see my free RAM fall to 80-120 MB range. I never saw it go less than 80 MB. And the apps in memory are the ones I used the last time, and the ones I use all the time.

Even if u use a task killer to kill these "inactive" apps at intervals, they would be loaded again sooner or later. That's the principle of android. So by using task killers, though u feel u r freeing up memory, in fact, u r only draining ur battery. What's the use of memory if u r not using it effectively.

Don't worry abt free RAM amount. Let android manage it. Systems are intelligent enough these days.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
All well and good, but when I look at what apps are using the most resources, the GPS-enabled apps are almost always near the top of the list even when I haven't been doing anything with them. That tells me that they are stealing processor time even when not being used and that can't be good for battery usage.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Install Spare Parts and see battery usage. Do u see any GPS time under CPU usage. Though my system has all these apps loaded up, they don't show up as using CPU time or any sensors unless I use the app.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Still doesn't answer the question of why the OS is starting apps randomly and without need. For instance, I have Titanium Backup and SGS Tools installed, but can't use them because I am not yet rooted. So why do I keep finding both programs started in the process list? Is the app making the call to start? If so, what can I change to stop it? Whatever Android does to manage memory, it just seems stupid for it to load programs that are hardly used without my asking it to.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
This is how the systems work in most systems, not just in android.

Take the new cars for instance. Power is generally sent to brakes when in low gears, though u r not actively engaging them. Why? Since u r at low speeds, higher probability of applying brakes. And when u do apply, since there is already some power already being sent, its faster to brake.

On similar lines is this principle of loading apps into memory in android too. It won't load apps to fill up ur memory. Plus the apps loaded into memory in this way don't use any CPU time (this means no battery usage). This speeds up system.

On a side note, if u feel u really do not need an app, and dont' want android loading that app, get "startup auditor" from market. Select the apps u don't want to persist in memory and don't want to auto start. Beware of one thing here: if u make an app as 'do not persist' in memory, and that app is started manually or by any other app, it would be killed giving FC in the app that's using it.

Note: I coined the term 'do not persist'. I do not have the app anymore to check for the exact term.

Edit: In windows, this pre-fetching is done through a service. And one can disable that service, though not recommended. I am not sure if this is done through a service that is "stoppable" in android.

This morning when I revieved a call I could barely here the person talking to me. It was like the in call volume was turned to the lowest setting.

I am just past the 14 day return period so I have to do a warranty exchange. Has anyone else had or heard of such problem?

if you haven't already seen and done this, try this:
[Vibrant General] drinkle06:
I had this same problem. One easy solution I found was turning the HAC mode on (found under Settings > Call Settings). This increases the call volume a good bit. But it doesn't change the bluetooth or wired headset volume.
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Unless Im missing the point, just use your volume rockers and adjust the volume up. Its pretty loud when you crank it up.
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
this may not even be your problem.
[Vibrant General] drinkle06:
For most of my calls the volume rocker gave plenty of headroom. I just had to turn the HAC mode on to boost the volume for my one friend that's a "low talker". Same person but on my G1 the volume was fine.
[Vibrant General] vdub804:
turning on hac mode helps thanks
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
Im not going to speak for OP but i know that for me whenever i answer a call its at 3/4 volume even whenever i turn it up the next call i pick up will still be at 3/4 volume. seems to be a "feature" so you dont get blasted by someone on the other end however at the same time its annoying when i talk with my wife all the time and shes soft spoken.
[Vibrant General] pegisys:
It's not the rocker, I have it turned all the way up though I noticed that changing the volume makes no difference, the sound is still extremely low. My problem is most likely a hardware issue.

I called in for a warranty exchange and I should be getting a new phone any day now
[Vibrant General] Skatturbrain:
This works great! Thank you. I called Samsung and they said there was no way to increase the handset volume. Well pretty sad users know more about the phone workings than the damn company!
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Thats because companies do not train their customer service reps on the devices. Then they transfer you over to "technical support", who are the same people just going through basic troubleshoot software provided by the REAL techincal folks at samsung. Calling them always insults my intelligence, because ill try to speed the call up by saying "ive already tried all of the basic troubleshooting methods", yet they will continuously ask me things like "did you try a reboot?", "did you pull the battery?".

Bottom line, these companies cannot afford to pay thousands of Sombionixes and Cyanogens to handle tech support hahaha

[Vibrant General] parahelium:
Its my 5th days using the Vibrant and I am still within 14 days return window. Number of issues keep me thinking just return the device for full refund. I have been using my jailbreak/unlock iphone 3g for years and fine. Pros and Cons against using the iphone 3G.

Cons.

1. GPS/Compass does not work most the time regardless of the few fixes I tried. I need to use GPS often and iphone GPS never had single issue. I can live without compass.

2. No skype, I am a regular skype user and need to use the app. I know there is a skype app out there kinda sort of works. But I need something official.

3. Battery life seems only last less than a day and charge to full takes longer time compare to iphone.

4. I am not a gamer but iphone games seem much more better.

Pros.

1. I get nice 3G speed at home and no longer need to WiFi to home network.

2. I only paid $150 after rebate when I am only 16 months into the contact.

3. Its a lot faster than the iphone 3G, data faster, processor faster. No lags so far.

4. Barnacle WiFi on 3G is nice although iphone have MyWi but I never could get 3G speed. Just hope the MTU issue will fix soon rather than keep twisting the client MTU.

If I return this phone, then I can try T-Mobile's first HSPA+ Phone... whatever phone that is... hhmmm.... what should I do? :rolleyes:

[Vibrant General] iunlock:
The Vibrant then back to an iPhone 3G? Really?

That's a total downgrade.

What area are you in that's giving you the GPS problems? Maybe you should try to find someone in your area with the Vibrant and see if they are having issues too...

The funny thing is, it's working just fine for a lot of us....

But dang really? 3G is like minor league compared to the Vibrant. Trust me I know, I've had the 2G since day one, 3G's (2 of them) and the 3GS (2 of them)...never again will I submit myself to communist apple phones. Only macbook pros :)
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
I was in the same boat as you and found out I had a defective device. I exchanged mine on the 13th day to give it one more try, the new phone is performs flawlessly, except for the gps would take a little longer to find a satellite until I performed the second fix now its fine. I don't use Gps that much so its not a big deal for me. The battery will be the same as all high end smartphones especially with that awesome screen. I usually unplug the phone at 7:30am and it last until 11pm at night, mind you I make a few calls mostly its games and streaming podcasts and heavy web usage. As for the games there are many out there but not available on the market for some reason. If you decide to keep the phone pm me and I will tell where to get them.
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
How much do you trust Samsung?

For me, the risk boils down to whether to trust Samsung to fix the GPS. At least there now has been quasi-official (is a tweet official?) acknowledgement from the manufacturer that there is problem and it is being worked on. The conventional wisdom is that there will be a firmware update, and that it will cure the problem. But there are no official promises of a complete solution.

I am not yet convinced that the GPS problem is entirely a firmware problem, and Samsung has not said so officially. If the underlying problem is unreliable output from the new combo GPS chip, then a firmware update may not fix the root cause, but only mitigate the symptoms.

It does not seem likely that we will know the answer to that before the 14 days run out for the OP (and for me.) One option is to return the phone for a refund, then buy another later if there is good news on a real GPS fix. I, too, got a pretty decent deal, in my case on a T-Mobile upgrade from a G1. I might not get such a good deal later on a repurchase, but the marginal upfront cost should not be the determining factor. This is a two-year commitment, and I would hate to be stuck with a defective GPS on this high-end device.
[Vibrant General] CharonIDRONES:
Well articulated and way of putting that across and I would have to agree. Samsung went fairly all out on all the specs on this phone (some argue they could have made the case metal a la iPhone but the lightness is amazing in my eyes, less weight equals less impact when I drop it) and it would be quite a shame to see the actual gps hardware to be defective. I doubt that it is truly, and would be very surprised if it is not addressed within the first ota firmware update. Truly the only way is up from here on this phone.

Ok,

so as we all know this phone does not do well with large amounts of texts.

Whenever i try and delete a large thread of texts, or clear my deleted texts, my phone freezes after trying for some time.

Its gotten so bad its almost impossible to text two people at once unless you sit and focus all your attention on it. Any incoming texts results in a minimum of a 80 second lag before it allows you to use the phone again.

I know clearing my deleted texts is the solution but it wont let me do it.

Any way to fix this other than a hard reset?

Flash yourself a custom ROM and all your problems will go away. I prefer the Energy ROM and 2.12 radio.

Can you please link me to these and explain how to do it if its not very simple.

I would love to fix this. I delete them one by one but its gonna take forever.

Its even effecting my calls. I can only answer the phone half the time. The other times it freezes when I swipe to answer or does nothing when I hit the answer button.

Bad title name bro, you can say it about any network really, all depends on the area you're in. I've got to use lots of phones lately, sprint, Verizon, Tmobile, and toyed with ATT. in Colorado, Denver/Aurora area, Tmobile is the fastest and keeps getting faster. Sprint using evo barely gets 400kbps down at my house, barely 100kbps down at my gym. Verizon about 700 down and decent uploads. Tmobile gets 2mbps down at my house, and over 3mbps at my gym. Same thing goes for downtown, blows all networks out of the water. We used to have crappy 3g coverage in other parts last year, but it has been start

right up perfect this year! Sounds like you're in the area of bad coverage is all.
