Bluetooth

I have been having a problem with bluetooth on my Zio. It works for a while then won't start up. Seems like a factory reset fixes it most of the time. I got pretty tired of doing it, so for now just living without it (is REALLY nice for work though).

Looking in the error log, it appears to have something to do with a widget. Last time I reset, I used another widget (same results though). I am REALLY hoping that the upgrade to 2.1 will correct this. A google of an error (pertaining to the widget) I found showed that the problem was closed due to an upgrade from beta.

Anybody else having trouble with bluetooth? Also, please let me know what you use to turn it on/off (especially if you DON'T have a problem).

U can get the evo flashed to cricket
[Kyocera Zio M6000] St0rmShad0wz:
you arent the only one...mine works like a charm too :)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Mine works smooth as well except it lags sometimes when I hit the home button.. it goes to home screen but takes a couple seconds for the icons to show up. I got rid of atk and it still persists. But other than occasional laggyness it works nicely, anyone have any ideas on laggyness?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
Mine was laggin b4. But soo much better now after i downloaded Home++

Download dat nd make that ur default home.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
so does ADW or A++ launch faster?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
I just ran this on my ZIO:

What is "fota_amss" and "fota_boot" ? Also "flex" ?

When putting in a new rom, so the partition sizes need to be modified? How can that be done with the OS loaded?

If anyone has a Sprint Zio, I did some digging and wrote up some easy instructions to dump it here.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
My zio works like a charm as well. Screen works great, and it's very fast for it's system specs. I have experienced home screen lag, but was solved by a factory reset. Used mybackup app to backup and restore my apps and data. Worked like a charm.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
an Afternote:

I aggree with Magickalshadow in that I think people are expecting the moon from a $250 device. Its a low-to-mid range smartphone, and for the specs and cost, it performs well above average imo, and others opinions as well.

Im getting tired of all the derailment whining about issues with this device. Issues deem the start of another thread. Lets keep this ontopic here people...

..To get back on topic:

I had to go to cricket the other day (my wifes phone was having connection issues), and talked with another rep.

To sum it up, they know nothing of what kyocera is saying (about releasing an update next year), and corporate is telling them the update will be coming at some point in the 4th quarter (the rep anticipates within the month, but whos to say really).

Im not too happy with donut, but Im not going to sit and complain about the lack of updates -- its like watching a tea pot waiting for it to boil.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Denver Hunter:
With the Ascend just coming out.. would we be able to pull 2.1 off of it and install it on the ZIO? If it would be possible, I have about 10 of them in my store sitting in front of me right now and would love to try it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
If this is a viable option, I'm willing to test.

If anything from the 1.6 is needed, tell me how to get it (I am good at flashing ON, but have never pulled off a phone, like a rom image, etc)

Sent from my Zio
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rudebeats:
Good luck! May the force be with you!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
If someone wants to try this, then great. HOWEVER...I think the ROM would actually have to come from a Zio unless someone here knows how to tweak the ROM to work on the Zio. Think of it in PC terms of say Windows (or Linux in this case) needing the right drivers installed for your computer's chipset.

Admittedly, I have limited knowledge of exactly how Android works so I could be wrong, but I believe I am somewhat on target here.

Anyone with a better understanding want to chime in about this?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Well, they have the same chipset (armv6) so they would be _somewhat_ compatible from a hardware standpoint, but for the most part, you are correct in stating that the ROM would need _serious_ tweaking in order for it to be compatible with the zio. They are 2 completely different devices from different manufacturers. Think of it like taking a pigs heart, and tossing it into a human. They're both hearts, they both pump blood, but to be compatible, it needs some serious reworking.

A more viable route would be for someone to get a hold of the sprint 2.1 ROM.

Then it should just be a matter of switching over the service provider and all relevant parameters.

I also have limited knowledge of the android OS, but I am experienced in openembedded, bitbake and cross compiling linux packages for armv7a devices.

Hey guys got a ? .. I backed up apps with titanium and did a factory reset put all stuff back on,now when I try to install apps from marketplace it says download of (apps name) was unseccessful try again. And it does it for everything I try to so on market.. anyone know how to fix?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Go in to settings, manage applications, open market and clear data.

This isn't zio specific and a search of the forums would have given the solution

Why do u have to be a smart arse? I've done that an still get error??
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LOWCOUNTRYDAVE:
First time poster, first time android owner, so please take it easy on me guys!

So I just bought a Zio about a week ago, first smartphone Ive ever had, and I really like it. Hope to see we Cricket owners get an update, and Im glad to see there is others that feel the same way.

Ive had a slight problem however, and although off-topic, I think you guys maybe able to lead me in the right place.

Every time I send or recieve text messages, my phone sends or recieves multiples, usually 2, sometimes 3. Im pretty sure it isnt an app related issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys. This seems like a nice site, glad to be around!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
This is actually a cricket problem in certain areas. It happens to me and even used to happen on my old Cricket MSGM8. It still happens on that phone too, my girlfriend uses it now. It also happened on my Palm Treo that I had flashed to Cricket from Verizon.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Wasn't being a smart ass. Was making a suggestion.

"Download unsuccessful" could also be a connectivity issue. Tried via wifi, in addition to internet?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Well now I have a totally new problem... I cleared data and now it asks me for gmail login but wont connect to verify tried with wifi still says no connection pulled battery still nothing but j can connect to actual internet and this program.. tried restoring market place from titanium and still nothing ahhhbhbbb
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Ok got marketplace back up,but I still can't download stuff.. I've noticed when I'm looking at an app and it has the automatic update option if I click that it says a manual update is needed? I dunno what to do all I did was backup and restore and can't dl anything now?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
Had the same problem. Apparently this is a bug with Google and the only workaround is to do a factory reset then login during the initial setup.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Denver Hunter:
Ya I tried this yesterday, it worked and went on there, but could not get things like games etc.. to work. I think this has to do with the ZIO having a graphics subprocessor where the Ascend does not.. so its not a viable option, too many force closes and freezing of the phone..

While I would like to play with the sprint 2.1, I dont think it will be neccasary due to the word around cricket is they are hoping to put the update out this week if everything goes good with testing, if any problems arise it should only get pushed back a week or two.

So if everything goes good we could see 2.1 this week, which would be great!

[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Factory reset again -- don't restore anything - try to download, see if your problem persists. If not, its ur restore method thats killing ur phone. If the problem persists, take it into a cricket retailer.

What is a good free explorer to use that allows root access?

*edit* downloaded root explorer!

I am new to the form, this is my first post on the forum, and am also new to android ;) and I have enjoyed every minute of it. I to would like to add my zio has been working very nicely, and it is quite responive! I have it rooted with most recent androot, and OC'd

[Kyocera Zio M6000] ghostrotor:
carefull with the rom manager. It doesn't support the zio and it already messed up my zio putting it into roaming and I still haven't been able to fix it yet.

Would anyone have any ideas that can help me fix this problem?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Yup, I know, but I'm close to porting over Clockwork Recovery, but a big project came up at work so I don't have time at the moment.

I have backed up the boot image though. You can flash it pretty easily to get your phone fixed.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] ghostrotor:
Basically all I did was root my phone with androot, install rom manager and backup my phone. It rebooted and started didn't start back up at first. Had to hold down volume up button to get it started and when it started it had a triangle next to the signal icon and settings say its roaming and network type isn't evdo anymore, its 1xrtt now. Anyone have anidea what happened or how to fix it?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
great news. have you been in touch with Koush of Clockwork recovery fame? Maybe he can help (especially now since you've successfully dumped the rom images, etc)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
He's not going to help personally. He probably has other stuff to do. But he did post this on his blog: http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html

I tried using Portable Ubuntu, but it wouldn't detect the phone after even after Android SDK was installed. I added the usb vendor id where I needed to but still nogo. I'll need to install Ubuntu on an extra partition I left open on my laptop. Been meaning to do that for a while anyway. But I probably won't have time to do that for a bit.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] ghostrotor:
Sorry just saw your post. already went to cricket and had them fix it. you were right though the rom got messed up when i tried to backup the rom on rom manager because rom manager doesnt support the zio yet. And all it needed was a rom reflash from cricket. thank you for your help.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Did you by any chance ask them about the 2.1 upgrade while you were there?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] ghostrotor:
cricket incredible. lol

oh and thanks to everyone else too. keep up the good work and hopefully we can get the android os upgraded on the zio soon. While you guys are doing that my project is to use the zio to get all the programming to get any android phone to work on crickets triband network. i just got the phone so havent had much time with it but ill be sure to let everyone know when i when i start seeing some results.

if anyone has any tips trickks or ideas tha will aid in this project be sure to throw them my way and thank you in advance.

Yeah, that is the same results I have gotten.

Now if we could just get someone to do a ROM dump of the Sprint Zio, we could get some results...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
my brother just got a sprint zio... i'm planning on rooting it for him when he's here this weekend, i'll try to get a rom dump while i have it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I am sure someone here can use it to get us Cricket customers up to 2.1 faster than Cricket can. I would be most grateful for the help.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Yoda says, "There is no try. Do, or do not" :p

Convince your brother that the dump is all part of the rooting process!

Yeah, that's the ticket...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
the question is whether i'll be able to root it... i haven't seen anything about what rooting methods do or do not work on the sprint zio.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Of course you can. Mine is rooted, I used the Universal AndRoot:

http://software2tech.com/tag/download-universal-android-root/
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
I would think either androot or the newest version super one click would root the phone.... I am uising androot now but I am thinking of unrooting it and trying super one click(seems its menu driven from the PC) just to check out any differences if any.....
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
thanks, that's good to know. any reason you haven't got a rom dump from yours?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
No reason to. Everyone on here that has a Zio has the Cricket version just as I do. We are stuck on Android 1.6 until we get someone from Sprint to dump the 2.1 for us.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
I think that cricket first released the zio before sprint and the cricket version comes with v1.6 os. So there's really no benefit of dumping the rom.

We need the v2.0 rom from the sprint zio so that it can be modified to suit an update for v1.6 rom on the cricket zio.

We just need the dump and we're golden.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
universal androot exploits a software bug to get root. that bug may have been fixed in the sprint 2.1 version. the fact that it works on 1.6 doesn't tell me anything about whether it will work on 2.1. my plan is to try universal androot and if that doesn't work, try the rageagainstthecage exploit that super one click uses.

I wrote up some step by step instructions to pull the rom:

http://androidforums.com/kyocera-zio/172688-just-picked-up.html#post1780268

As long as the 1-click root works on the sprint, the rest of the instructions should work just fine.

Incorrect, with the rom you can get the kernel. With the kernel you can port over CyanogenMod and get it working on the Zio. I haven't found any tutorials on how to get CyanogenMod to a new phone though. There are a number of threads of people who have done so though. And the instructions on how to port ClockworkRecovery is a good starting step to get CyanogenMod ported over. I don't think it will be to hard, just a bit of trial and error. Will be much easier once ClockworkRecovery is ported over though.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jrbloodmist:
According to a dealer from pocket wireless, another provider like cricket here in south texas, they will be offering the ZIO 2.1 at release on November 9th

So any Progress on a 2.1 port or anything. if not i'm moving to pocket and selling my cricket phone..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I have no clue what that is, what it does or if it is anything I could do or would want to do to my phone. So at this point...I still have no reason to ... lol.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
you'd be able to do nandroid backups (basically a rom dump (with md5 sums) to your sd card, includes all your apps and settings) with it, and it'd make installing cyanogenmod or sprint's 2.1 a lot easier.

San Diego’s Leap Wireless (NASDAQ: LEAP) announced today that it’s forming a “joint venture” with San Antonio, TX-based Pocket Communications that will provide pre-paid wireless services to customers of both companies in South Texas.

Well, due to the brilliant wonderful people at CyanogenMod, there's no chance at us getting any custom CyanogenMod or Clockwork Recovery. Apparently they decided it would be a good idea to remove Donut (Android 1.6) from their repository.

now what to do with it...anyone familiar with custom ROM's is this what we needed for it to be ported over to Cricket?

If so, can someone with the knowledge of how to do so, please see what you can do with it.

Secondly, what tool was used to grab the ROM from the Sprint Zio? I have yet to find anything to do this with, the ROM Manager v2.5.0.4 does not recognize the Zio as a valid device to pull the ROM off of the phone to store on my PC.

MJ
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
you'll probably need a working recovery before it can be ported... i'll try to get clockwork recovery working on my brother's zio and if it works i'll post it for someone with a cricket zio to test... if we can do that, the first thing to try would be booting into recovery, making a nandroid backup, wiping everything, and flashing the boot.img and system.img (could be done with flash_image over adb for a quick test, but the right way to do it would be to make a flashable zip). if it doesn't work as-is, someone with a cricket zio to test on may have to modify the boot image.

dump_image. there's a link to it here.

edit:

downloading the cyanogenmod source code took forever (i waited about 4 hours then went to bed, it was done when i woke up), and then i got everything set up and started it building the recovery and... the hard drive in my ubuntu machine died. it might take most of today to get everything downloaded again.

Yes i agree,uninstall!! Thanks for your input.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
i got clockwork recovery to compile for the sprint zio, but i won't be able to test it at all until tomorrow...

this is completely untested, and i have no idea whether it works or not, even on the sprint zio!

if someone wants to try and see if it works, here it is:

http://ig.gl/zio/clockwork-recovery-20101031.img

before you even consider flashing this to your recovery partition, you should check to see if the contents of /proc/mtd are the same as this:

dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 01080000 00020000 "fota_amss"
mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "boot"
mtd2: 07700000 00020000 "system"
mtd3: 00360000 00020000 "flex"
mtd4: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd5: 0a960000 00020000 "userdata"
mtd6: 00600000 00020000 "fota_boot"
mtd7: 07680000 00020000 "cache"
mtd8: 00100000 00020000 "splash"
mtd9: 000c0000 00020000 "misc"

pay close attention to the order and the "size" numbers. if any of them are different, this almost certainly won't work on the cricket zio and you should not try it. if that's the case, it'd be better to port clockwork recovery using a boot.img from a cricket zio.

also, you should make a backup of your existing recovery (using dump_image) first if you decide to test this. the first thing i would test is nandroid backups. if those work correctly, then you have a fairly easy way to recover if you mess something up.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
The Cricket Zio is lacking the "splash" partition. Everything else is there. Just for the heck of it I tried flashing the system.img from your Sprint Zio upload to the phone using FastBoot. It gives an error "remote: flash write failure." All other image files from the Sprint Zio flash over with the exception of the system.img and flex.img. Both give identical errors. Also there was no boot.img on the Sprint Zio rom dump.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
ok, i'm pretty sure clockwork recovery won't do anything with splash or misc, so as long as the numbers are the same and they're all in the same order you could probably try it out. if you want to try the recovery, use dump_image to make a backup copy of your current recovery, then use flash_image to flash the clockwork recovery image to your recovery partition, and then reboot into recovery mode (adb reboot recovery should do it). if you try it, let me know if it works. if you get it up and running the very first thing you should do is make a nandroid backup.

most android phones have a setting (S-ON or S-OFF) that controls what you can flash in fastboot. i'm guessing the device is S-ON, like most retail phones, and that's why you can't flash system from fastboot. if we get clockwork recovery working, then we can work on making the sprint 2.1 rom into a zip that you can install from recovery mode.

i just checked and it's definitely there.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
I can't seem to get ADB to see my device. Is there any other way to get into recovery mode on the Zio? Tried holding Volume up, send, ball and end, but that didn't do anything. Remember my phone is completely un-bootable at the moment (see my post #292)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
oh... try holding the home button while booting.
