[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4inkiller:
same problem here!

since 2 months ago, I'm having EXACTLY same problem as you.

it happens with 1.6 vodafone original, 1.6 roms, 2.1 roms, 2.2 roms... (cyano, theOriginal,superatmel,htcmania)...

with radio updated and all the stuff. I also put it back to original 1.6 with perfectspl via a sapphire image I found in htcmania. I have STOCK 1.6, but I keep having EXACTLY THE SAME problem that you describe.

p.d. I'm Vodafone in Spain.

I'm thinking of taking the phone to the store where I bought it and have HTC fix it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxian2007:
I have found a sure shot thing......please see if this can help to troubleshoot the problem.

Most of the time I don't have signals. If I reboot my phone the problem does not solve. But, if I connect my phone to my laptop (having android phone driver installed) and then I reboot my phone....I get full signals. I can make calls as long as phone is connected and there is no problem during that period.

Now I don't understand what is the problem and why is it happening?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrmerritt:
I've had the same problem here and there. At first I thought it was a side effect from running Froyo on my MT3G that has been carrier unlocked for maybe 9 months but I was wrong..I switched back to Donut and had same issues. So I called T-mobile US and they did a network reset that helped for maybe an hour or so, they explained that maybe my phone could have been "Locked on to a cell tower that was just close enough for the phone to connect to" I just figured I'd play dumb and say OK. I personally believe that it's the cell tower here near my house causing the problem. As of right now my phone isn't acting up so who the hell knows, maybe in my case it has to do with the hspa+ upgrades as of late in my area.

Hey have you tried toggling to just the edge network and seeing what happens?, when my phone starting acting up that seemed to allow me to keep a consistent signal. You mentioned "you tried re-installing the radio", did you mean it was unsuccessful re-installing or it worked but no improvement? You should also check out HTC's developer website if that's the case, they have a good tutorial on reinstalling the radio image.

Good luck hope I had sensible input.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrmerritt:
What do you see when you type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer and select "Phone Information" and scroll down to "Set preferred network type"?

I believe you wanna see "WCDMA preferred" in a normal setting. It will change what it displays if you toggle to edge through the settings menu.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxian2007:
....any word towards solving this issue is useful for me....and thanks....

Earlier I was using WCDMA setting but later I changed it to GSM Only because my service provider does not support 3G. In either case, I had the same problem.

I succeeded installing the radio but that did not solve my problem.

So, what are you doing with your phone now?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxian2007:
I have set it to "GSM only" because my service provider supports only EDGE. I have switched off auto-sync.

Do you have any idea about why it works when I'm connected to USB?

logcat of radio

Hi!

I am attaching here the output from #logcat -b radio

plz. see if someone can find a culprit in it.

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
This is normal. Learn to live with it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxian2007:
....Ok...you put the pics....let's see how scary is this...

.....did you try a signal booster (an after-market thin antenna kind of thing placed under the battery) before doing that??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxian2007:
Another strange finding

As I mentioned earlier I get good signal if I am connected through USB to my laptop and the signal strength is like -63dbm to -71dbm.

But I found a strange thing.....when I don't have signal...the signal strength still ranges between -63dbm to -81dbm.

Why is it so?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jamoiholland:
Can anyone tell me what this does before I try it? Will it factory default my phone? I'm trying to sort a problem where entries added to Google Calender on web update to phone, bt entries added to Google Calendar on phone don't update to web. I don't want a factory default as I'll lose entries added on the phone.

Thanks :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aPaullyG:
Yup it'll write a clean install of the firmware to the phone and you'll be back to factory defaults. Check out the backup and restore tool on the phone, that'll save your contacts, calender etc.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jamoiholland:
Cheers for the info mate. Doesn't seem like it includes calendar from the info in the app itself strangely :-| Might try find another solution to back it up (maybe try re-install SE Sync that I removed when I rooted along with the other SE pre-installed rubbish!) Ta!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aPaullyG:
Ahh thought it did calender too, I know I got mine back... maybe from google sync then.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jamoiholland:
Yeah, and Google Sync is whats broken ;-) No worris, I'll find something to back it up!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kinesis:
Is there a better rom to use than sprint's stock rom on epic 4g? cuz like, this morning at starbucks i get a popup saying 'system update available'. i tap install, the phone reboots, then i get a linux framebuffer console with a progress meter and it updates the phone's software.. then i get a blank screen - all four panel buttons are lit.. I had to take the battery out of the phone.. Now when I boot the phone there is no sprint cartoon splash.. my root 'su' was gone, i re-rooted the phone OK.. should i worry about this? the animation is gone. it was annoying anyways, id like to put my own custom animation if possible.

now i rebooted, and su still doesnt work, although it did prior to rebooting the phone. sprint is trying to lock me out?

is there a better 'rom' i should use?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mol:
I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned here yet. The battery of the Mini Pro is a model that Sony Ericsson is using for plenty of models and you can pick one up for 12 euro on Amazon. The battery model is BST-38.

I bought a separate charger for it as well, for 22 euro.

Well worth the investment as my Mini Pro never lasts till the end of the day and I can't always recharge it in the afternoon.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] llcooljazz:
You can also pick up the Battery Charger too - the Sony Ericsson EP900 for around £20, if you find you use a lot of battery juice.

X10 Mini Pro Charger - there is plenty to chose from.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mekki99:
i found that battery on german amazon for less than 5 euros... i just wanted to make sure that this is the right battery which I can use in x10 mini pro

http://www.amazon.de/Ericsson-Stand...UAME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1288972277&sr=8-1

it is pretty cheap. so I am not sure...

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spiz516:
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the stock notification bar/drop down on Eugene's Frankin-Twiz? I would assume it's just a matter of grabbing it from one of the earlier roms, but I'm not too sure on the specifics of how to do so.

I assumed it was just a matter of editing the framework-res, but like I said, not too sure which file(s) it would be.

Am I completely wrong in thinking this is possible? Thanks!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi,

do you mean just the matte black instead of glossy bar along the top of the screen? Or the pull down menu showing you current notifications? Or Both?

If just the first, its only one or two drawable files in framework-res.apk, if the latter (pull down on its own or with the top bar too) then its files in both framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk, not too hard to figure out really.

My beta vertical battery mod for franken-twiz (found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=758797) includes most of the changes, and I can post a twframework-res.apk to revert the rest, but be warned, I switched to the non-glossy touchwiz drawable files that come with every other Galaxy S phone, stupid samsung/t-mobile decided our phone needed to be "shinier" than the rest of the series =(.

Cheers,

=)

~ Jocelyn
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spiz516:
Hey thanks for the response! I actually really like your work!

I guess to make it easier to explain, the only thing I don't like from Frankin-twiz is when you pull the bar down, where it says "T-Mobile" and "No notifications" or "Ongoing" ... the text doesn't exactly fit in the area.

And I do prefer the matte look over the glossy, so that's probably why I like your stuff!

Edit: Disregard the question about pushing via ADB. I see your instructions in the other thread. :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spiz516:
Okay I got the bar taken care of and it looks great! Thank you for that.

Now I'm about to do twframework-res.apk so that it matches, but before I do, does it go in /system/framework as well and do you recommend clearing the cache partition and dalvik-cache afterwards?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spiz516:
Well I got it and it looks perfect! Thanks so much for your help and work!

:D

Edit: Ran into an issue. Whenever I try to download/install from the market, I get a Force Close on com.android.vending. Any idea why? I wasn't getting that problem before.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Not sure about any FC issues, market works fine for me.

That said, however, usually FC issues from mods like this can be fixed by running a repair permissions in rom mamager, then rebooting into clockwork mod and clearing the cache and dalvik-cache.

And also, I ALWAYS recommend clearing the cache/dalvik-cache after any mod.

Cheers,

=)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
You could also go into settings, apps, manage, market, and uninstall updates..

I don't understand how this happens to ppl... Happened alot with htc devices but never on my sammy yet...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spiz516:
Edit: Thanks Junk, didn't see your post before my last response. That took care of the problem. I wonder how that happened, either way, thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PPC Insanity:
i know you have heard this many of times and i guess i am the 1,000,000 and 1 person to ask it, BUT..:

I just placed windows 7 ultimate on my computer and now i cannot sync my tp2 with computer... what should i use or what steps do i take to get it synced up : programs,settings, etc?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
Windows 7 uses Windows Mobile Device Center instead of activesync. You may have to download it from Mircrosoft, although I thought it was installed by default. Anyway, if it isn't installed, download it and install. I use Win 7 Pro to sync all the time.
[Vibrant Accessories] Demiurgic:
I went to my local radio shack and best buy today to try and get a vibrant case. Radio shack had one lame rubber case and best buy had no vibrant accessories but had plenty of epic/captivate/fascinate stuff. Maybe tmo doesn't have a contract or something with best buy. When the biggest electronics retail chain doesn't carry accessories what does that say about about the long term prospects of the vibrant?
[Vibrant Accessories] dashed:
It frustrates me so much that t mobile never has accessories for their phones when they are just released or recently released. Verizon always has nice cases for every phone the day it comes out or within a couple weeks. I was hoping to find the best buy brand hard case for the vibrant but it doesn't exist.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chalup:
Buy! Buy! Consume! What is the big deal. Just get a case online and be done with it.
[Vibrant Accessories] xplanowestx:
That's not the point. They could easily order a case online, but the problem is that t-mobile doesn't push accessories like everyone wants, whether it be cases, docks, or whatever you can think of. Other mobile providers always have very nice showcase accessories which is a great benefit. For example, Verizon released a very sleek and nice kickstand case with the fascinate and I would really love to use it, however specs say they won't fit. It's just the principle behind it and you'd honestly expect a company to try and push accessories more anyways since thats a big money maker. Just my two cents.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pantsmessiah:
I'm having a problem playing videos from the gallery app.

I can see them in the gallery, but when I click on them I get a message saying "Unable to play video".

If I try to open it from Astro I get "File type <WHATEVER> not found"

However, if I open Rockplayer it works fine. I'm assuming it's because I used TI to delete the stock video player app (thinking rock would just take over), but I can't say for sure.

Has anyone else seen this? If possible can someone link me to the original video player app so I don't have to flash back to stock to get it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Did you try clearing the defaults in settings?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pantsmessiah:
Unless I am thinking of the wrong thing (settings > applications > manage) I have the following options that sound like they could be applicable (meaning there might be some I'm overlooking):

com.samsung.mobilevideo

com.sec.android.app.videoplayer

rockplayer

none have any defaults set.

is there a way to just globablly reset the defaults?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmatkar:
problem solved

Go to settings, all programs, gallary setting, clear data, force stop if it is currently running, disable the app, wait for few seconds and again enable the app, on first start it will ask default video player select whatever u want and enjoy.

Problem may be the default vedeo player set earlier is uninstalled by u. Thanx
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musterion1973:
I am having a very similar issue. I record a video. 30 seconds long. I stop recording tap the image of what I recorded, it opens gallery.- I select to play the video. the video opens. I click play and a grey message comes up (unable to Play Video) the standard played just fine. I made no changes to the phone after rooting and installing custom rom. it worked fine. now all the sudden. it will not play videos. (only videos I recorded on the phone) everything else such as web and youtube work fine. this is not the first time I have run into this the only option was to install a retail rom and everything worked great. this is a Samsung galaxy s5 g900v I have spent over thre hours on google and bind searching for a solution and I can tell you..it would seem this is an issue many people are having. I don't like VLC I like the stock player. though I dont know what it is called but I have this Rom (VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9) it has no file browser and no purple video Icon. (thats the one I dont know the name of) and I am not sure what this rom uses to play video. ..so if anyone has a solution please post it. I tried the above and they did not work. I also tried solutions that were offered on other sites to no avail.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
I dunno if you have tried this, but try doing what I do, follow the instructions exactly, and it may work for you, let me know if it does.

1) START with your phone off, no usb cables attached.

2) Press volume down AND volume up at same time, keep them pressed in the entire time, do NOT let go. I prefer to hold my phone in landscape, this gives me better control with my fingers.

3) WHILE holding down volume up and volume down, press and hold power button, DO NOT LET GO OF ANYTHING. You should be holding down volume up, volume down, and power, DON'T LET GO! HOLD ON... and proceed to next steps, dont let go!

4) PHONE will start, you will see the white Vibrant logo. STILL DON'T LET GO, volume down, volume up, and power all pressed.

5) White Vibrant logo disappears, still dont let go!

6) White Vibrant logo re-appears again for the second time. When the white vibrant logo appears the second time, let go of the power button, but keep holding down volume down and volume up.

7) Phone begins to enter recovery mode, you can let go finally.

8) To exit, select "reboot system now" and use your power button to select, you will exit recovery mode.
