[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
don't take it to a metro pcs store...

the only thing you really need is to get the ESN added on to their database. my phone had already been added, but i hear it's difficult. you either know someone who can add it for you or you pay someone to add it for you.

then follow on the guides on here. if you follow ANY of the guides you'll have voice...that's the easy part. the hard part is everything else.

i have voice, data, texts, and incoming mms. can't send out mms - that's it. but i can go online, check my email, download files (slowly!), i can use facebook app, open and browse the market (wont download unless in wifi though). so you'll have an almost fully functional phone.

some people get the mms thing working completely...i didnt. but everything else is pretty much a sure thing now.

just get your ESN on their database and follow the guides here :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darth_vato:
Thanks for the information, man. I've been browsing Craigslist and apparently there are a few places around me that will flash everything including web and mms, so I'm probably going to check that out. Thanks again for the help.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsune_snake:
Okay I searched the forum and maybe my terms weren't spot on but I couldn't find exacly what I was looking for, so if this thread is another drop in a sea of spam my apologies.

I recently flashed the AuraXTsense ROM on my Desire and it comes preinstalled with the genie widget. I wanted the transparent version so I downloaded the .apk and I tried to instal it with the application manager, unsuccessful and I'm sure it's not even the right way to go about about change a widget.

I also read somewhere of a adb I don't know if that's what I need but if any could send me a tutorial for adb, or to modify a preinstalled ROM app widget (or any kind of widget from any app) it would be really appreaciated.

thank you very much in advance

PS: I'm kinda new at this whole android thing sorry if my question may sound silly to some older member
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
just flash the new alpharev s-off in the developent section, then use a file manager to replace the .apk in /system/app/ with the new one using a file explorer
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsune_snake:
I read about the alpharev s-off but I didn't think it would actualy be needed (I thought it was only for people who couldn't root their phone) I wil check it out thank you
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Dannysaurus:
So I recently got CM6 on my Touch Pro and right now I'm using the market and it's downloading at an appallingly slow rate D: It's roughly 10KB/s or perhaps slower. Did I do anything wrong here? :<
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
Nope. Wifi just sucks. It's always one of the reasons why Android always locks up for me, actually.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Dannysaurus:
*crai*

So, wifi on Android just sucks? :< It's better on WinMo though, which I don't really get.

Since wifi is painfully slow on Android, how else would I get applications on it? A much faster method xD
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Wifi seems fine for me... Faster than 3g, which is all I really ask for when using it...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Dannysaurus:
I take it you're using a TP too >.< Whaiii *cries*
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I used to. RAPH800, wifi was definitely faster than 3g. I'm on a RHOD now tho.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
Maybe because you're not using a RAPH. A search in the thread would show that other people have the problem, and not just me lol...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
i haven't noticed any wifi issues with the builds. always faster than 3g for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
I said I used a RAPH previously... I've only had the RHOD for about a month now, had a RAPH for 2 years before that. So I'm not just shooting off the hip assuming... I ran XDAndroid on my RAPH for a loooooong time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Dannysaurus:
Well uhm, I'm using a Touch Pro but that's as far as I know. Perhaps I used a wrong startup? What would I use instead?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
nothing there will make a difference.

do a test. using the regular browser (not opera or anything) goto mobilespeedtest.com or speedtest.net and do a test and see what it tells you. would help if you also have a computer on the same router to test against.

you can test 3g and wifi and your computer to see the differences in speed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
And so did I. I could make a video demonstrating how unstable the wifi/radio is, lol. I've had far too frequent crashes for someone to tell me that it's "stable" :P.

EDIT: Here's some other people reporting the problem.

Annndd.. there's probably a good chance this will get ignored because "it works for me".
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Perhaps wifi is unstable on the 110, but I seriously doubt it. Besides, that dude is talking about the radio finding new towers, what does that have to do with wifi?

I find the radio is unstable as well. I actually thought it was just a CDMA thing. I thought we were talking about slow wifi speeds tho... Now I'm just confused.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
i think you are starting to get confused here. are we still talking about wifi or have we moved on to 3g now?

honestly almost nothing here is truely stable. our ril still needs alot of work and that is what talks with the towers.

wifi however shouldn't have any real issues. wifi is working on every model of the supported devices and as you can see, this is the first thread regarding wifi issues.

the wifi is supported by the kernel. kernel changes shouldn't make a difference as the wifi drivers haven't changed. however the devs are trying to get hopspot support working which may impact wifi. if you are having issues, report a bug.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] gm112:
It's both wifi and 3G that's unstable for me. Anytime I use the internet through either method, the phone has weird issues. It's easily reproduced.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] hamagc:
what type of issues? system rebooting into android? rebooting into winmo? force closes? radio crashes?

i do not want to blame the device but my g/f who just gave me her diamond had alot of issues running xdandoird. come to find out her phone had issues in general and had nothing to do with xdandroid.

this may or may not be a similar issue to your. that will be for you to let us know.

if you have the time, rename your data.img to data.img.bak and launch haret.exe. it will build a new data.img and from there run the same basic tasks that cause issues for you now. since our build is still in the "building it" stage, some apps will cause issues without you noticing. the only real way to tell if an issue is the system or if it is an installed app is to test it with a clean system to see how things come out. this doesn't always solve the problem and if it does not let us know.

your said you have a raph110, Stinebd who is one of the main developers on this project has a raph110 so if there are any real issues with xdandroid and that device, it will be known. as such i have not heard from him with any real stability issues using the radio or the wifi (i believe he no longer has service on the device however).

if your one of the luck cdma users there are more issues as there are no real devs working on the cdma side of things for our devices. there are alot of radio stability issues as the ril is not complete and is a hacked hack version of the gsm radio made to work on the cdma network.

hope this makes sense.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Dannysaurus:
Sowwy D: Was moving and getting new ISP's. Horrible wait :<

Anywho, for all those going "It works for me" Yeah well... It doesn't. I'm getting 14mbps wireless, but on the phone I'm getting 84kbps which is... Odd. I'm currently using the SuperFroyo port. I've had experience with the xdandroid version and it's wi-fi was actually pretty good compared to this. Kernels perhaps?

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-2.22.23.02

I flashed the 2.22.23.02 through fastboot by mistake and now I can't get into recovery mode, or flash any other radios onto the phone. The fastboot menu is the only thing I can get to on the phone.

I tried reflashing the 2.22.23.02 again but it won't go through...

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to unbrick it?

Edit: Tried sappimg.nbh via volume down and power button but i get a Model ID error. Now i can't fastboot anything over to my phone.

Edit: Flashed the sappimg.nbh, sappimg 2.16.707.3, sappimg 2.53.707.2, via gold card but I now get the error: Main Version is older!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
I have answered similar questions before...

Use the search function.

But to get you started here is a quick solution.

1) flash eng spl that starts with 1.33.20XX where XX can be 05,09 or 10.

Restart into fastboot.

2) flash the right spl/radio/recovery combo.

This is confirmed to work....

Next time post ALL fastboot info... there are some info mission in your post!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
all the fastboot info...

SAPPHIRE UNKNOWN 32A SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-2.22.23.02

I have just tried flashing hboot-1.33.2010 via fastboot.

However, I get the error message:

sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... FAILED (remote: not allow)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] blizard80:
do this:

----- If you boot into fastboot and have issues with "fastboot:remote not allow", then your SPL won't work. Upgrade to Engineering SPL before continuing.

----- If you do not have an Engineering SPL, download 1.33.2010 and flash through recovery before starting this procedure. Flash the SPL update.zip like any other update.zip file.

in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
Unfortunately... I can't boot into recovery either, nor can i push a recovery image to the phone. I get the same error: "fastboot:remote not allow".
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
ok... you are very limited...

Do this:

Find a suitable sappimg.nbh... Not sappimg.zip...

Use this which i just uploaded for you:

http://rapidshare.com/files/421772202/SAPPIMG.nbh

Using your goldcard flash the sappimg.nbh in fastboot.

The sappimg.nbh does not need any unzipping... it's a complete img of the nand and overwrites everything.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere....

is there a way to create a goldcard at this point for me?

I can't get into debug mode on the phone (for obvious reasons) and therefore can't do adb....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Find ANY android device and make a goldcard...

Then use the goldcard on your device...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
wouldn't suppose anyone have the goldcard.img from their email that they could send me...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
1)Download the -G magic RA recovery

2) rename it to recoveryG.img

3) run 'fastboot boot recoveryG.img' (with the phone in fastboot mode)

4) allow recovery to boot then run the following adb commands

adb push recoveryG.img /tmp/recoveryG.img
adb flash_image recovery /tmp/recoveryG.img

5) Now power down the phone

6) boot into recovery by holding home+power

10) flash 1.33.2009 or 1.33.2010

Now you will have fastboot again

Most likely you will want to find and flash via fastboot radio 3.22.20.17 if you are not a Rogers/Fido customer or have signed the e911 wavier, otherwise you want 3.22.26.17..

After flashing the 3.x radio flash RA -h recovery via fastboot (and while in fastboot run 'fastboot erase system -w'); this will let you flash the ebi1 rom of choice
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
I just downloaded the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

renamed it so recoveryG.img.

When i try to run the command: fastboot boot recoveryG.img

I get the error message:

downloading 'boot.img'...FAILED (remote: not allow)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ezterry:
Then its best to just install the official e911 ruu from rogers and re-root
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
I have tried that, but it doesn't work...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
What's your fastboot info?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
isn't the info on my first post the fastboot info?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
Yes, I'm also not sure why people are ignoring that fact that you can't use fastboot either :-S
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
My bad, using my phone and completely missed the first page.

EDIT: I think mum was on the right track. Your going to need a goldcard. No one will be able to send you their .img because its SD card specific. You don't know anyone with a Android based phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
Looks like i'm getting progress....?

I have a gold card now thanks to my friend, however...

when I try to flash the SAPPIMG.nbh I get a Main Version is older!

I also tried the 2.53.707.2 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.

I also just tried 2.16.707.3 SAPPIMG.zip and I still get this error.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
YOU ARE STILL MAKING THE GOLDCARD THE WRONG WAY...

You should not get that error msg...

Try to remake the goldcard.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
Did it on two different SD cards, the same way I did it before to get my phone off perfected SPL... not sure what I could've done to do it wrong this time around.....

a mmc CID can't change right?

followed this guide:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Can you pm me the cid nr. before reversion...

I mean the nr you get from directly from android device.

I will send you a goldcard img...

You keep saying mmc... but it's sdcard... micro sd.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
I did receive the PM.

Hmm... you seem to have reversed it correctly.

The sappimg.nbh + goldcard should have fixed the problem!!!

But the first mistake you did resulted in changing the model nr of your device...

The "SAPP50000" should have been "SAPP10000"...

That's why the sappimg.nbh is giving you a "Model ID error".

Try this from a command promt and fastboot:

fastboot oem writemid SAPP10000

Then restart fastboot and check that the "SAPP50000" have changed to "SAPP10000"...

If it did, then try the sappimg.nbh again!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
After I type in:

fastboot oem writemid SAPP10000

I get the error ... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.007s)

finished. total time: 0.008s

I boot back into fastboot and it still shows SAPP50000
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bigbrotherbear:
anyone anymore ideas?

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] justmegt:
I have tried many times to connect to the internet through a WiFi connection. The phone finds WiFi connections OK but when I click on Internet Explorer, the phone tries to connect via GPRS.

I have tried reading the other threads and reading through 'how to connect' on the phone but have not found a solution.

I have had my XDA2i for many years and just changed the digitiser pad and LCD. I've never connected to a WiFi network, despite many tries.

:confused:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kevcal:
Initial questions:

What IP address has it given you... is it 192.... or 169.... ?

And what is the IP address of your router?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] justmegt:
When I select 'Wireless LAN Manager' it displays

Status: Connected to network

SSID: O2wireless**** Tx Rate:Auto

Mode: Infrastructure Channel: 1

BSSID: **-**-**-**-**-**

MAC: **-**-**-**-**-**

IP: 169.254.***.***. Renew IP

Signal quality = 80% Good

I don't know what any of these numbers mean. I have left out some info, as I don't know what is private. Is the IP address mine or the network I'm trying to connect to?

I don't have a wireless network. I just want to connect to hot spots when I'm out, like my friends do.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kevcal:
The IP address of 169.... means that the Router you are connected to isn't giving out dynamic addresses (DHCP)... Dynamic means that you are given your IP address by the router.

You couldd eclare a Static IP address, but for using hotspots you need to use Dynamic.

Where are you testing this?

If it's a friend's router, get them to check that DHCP is enabled and that its giving out addresses (could test with a wireless laptop).
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] justmegt:
The info I posted is a router I am picking up near my house.

When I'm out, we often go to a Hotel which has free wireless networking. My friend picks it up on her Blackberry with no problems. I can pick it up up but Internet Explorer always tries to connect using GPRS. I'm supposed to be the computer geek, so it's very embarrassing.

:(
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kevcal:
Well if you're only getting a 169... IP address then you're not going to get anywhere...

When you turn on wifi it should first of all start 'Scanning Network', then you get the SSID, etc and then get (say) a 192.... address. If you don;t get the 192 address then for some reason you're not picking up a dynamic ip address...

Ok I got kaosfroyo v35-1 and would like to theme my dialer if anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Bimmer323:
I was having trouble installing any theme on a 6.1 rom. Bootloop city.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rigbyrobot:
You could try dialer one in the market, there's a few options to change the colors and it has t9
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] goldenstorm:
You need to theme the contacts.apk, that's where the dialers png's live. I have a flashable theme (blue) that worked on kaosfroyo v34. Haven't tested on the current versions, thought I'd try a different rom or two. Anyway I can send it to you so you can see what's involved if you want.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Emunny:
Yeah just pm me and would I just flash it or use mm
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Bimmer323:
Aha! That was confusing the crap out of me.....I applied a MM theme and it FC'd as soon as it would hit the phone.apk, but when I'd reboot the phone would be themed.....contacts.apk, never would have thought about that one.

Thanks for the info. :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] goldenstorm:
That is exactly why I made it flashable vs MM, due to them darn annoying FC's when MM was flashing the phone and contacts apk...

Will upload and share in a jif!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] goldenstorm:
Normal rules apply, I am not responsible if you brick your phone, yada yada... [EDIT] Do make a nadroid backup :)

Here is the flash-able theme I created. BlkandBlueStorm

I got most of the blue from nonsensikal and other pieces here and there, don't recall right now where. (if you are the owner/creator of any piece let me know so I can give credit where credit is due.)

Just flash like a normal ROM or open it up and see how it was built. If you take it apart and add your own tweaks, you'll need to resign the package so that you can flash it just like any ROM.

curious to know what you think of it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Emunny:
Just tried it and it put my phone into a cycle of rebooting. Thanks anyways
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] goldenstorm:
sorry, mate, I was reading that some folks were having issues with flashing themes to kaosfroyo 35-1 and thats when I decided it was time to try out another froyo rom.

Funny thing is that the theme works great on kaos 34 and nonsensikal v 7.5, however when flashing to nonsensikal 8.2 my wifi status symbol disappears. I have looked and all the files match between my theme and the roms files. Puzzling and will be working on it. If I get it working correctly, I'll let you know.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Emunny:
Sounds good appreciate the work
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
You kept your word gps fix...... In september ....... And lol @tmobile smh.... I hope we can get the froyo update thru kies as well.. I hope this fix have better battery life. Will update tomorrow on battery life.

I too am going to wait until the OTA drops. Hopefully by then it will get re-rooted. NEED my tether.

I tried and tried to get it to work not happening. Hopefully becouse of this the ota is close

is everyone sure that there is going to be ota update so we dont have to go through the whole kies process? cause I cant get that to work.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
i dont know about the ota update tmobile really suck in this matter. i was talking to them earlier today they still have no clue. LOL.. so your best bet it is to get it through kies....

[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Can't even get KIES to open. Getting a MainStage error and it just closes out.
[Vibrant General] mr2boy:
U basically see the post at droiddog. Go the kies samsung site, dl it n do not click on update when it ask you. Then you connect your phone from "samsung kies." Then u should see an alert for firmware update. Tadaa

The gps is amazing now.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Kies isn't even released for the US market so this cannot be the official method of installing the update.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If it's been released via Kies, Samsung has done this on purpose. I had some issues with Kies but I ultimately got the update. The new Kies has some

I do see a difference in GPS functionality, it seems more accurate. Just give it some time though
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Not only is the update no longer available, but I talked to Samsung Tech support and they told me "There is no software available for Samsung Vibrant. If you download KIES it won't even work for your phone. Any update will be pushed OTA."

Maybe someone accidentally flipped the switch?
[Vibrant General] gunks:
Not that switch!!! Nooooo!!!!!
[Vibrant General] Emama:
even though it is pulled, hope it means that OTA is coming very very soon
