Yes I have. It is called paranoia.

That really depends on the cashier. Many of them these days can't figure out how much to give you back even though the register does all the math and they spend 8 hours a day handing out change.

Yeah, paranoid people always have to make it a point to show everyone else how smart they are.

A perfect example of how paranoia influences peoples outlook. Someone on the forum makes a dumb mistake and automatically it is because someone else was just out to take advantage of them.

I have actually spoken to enough cell phone sales people to know that a good number of them are not very tech savvy at all and just say what someone else tells them to say and they have no clue if it is. right or wrong. Certainly not a kosher thing to do, but it doesn't mean anyone was "out to get him". It just means the sales rep is poorly trained yet still wants to keep their job. That hardly makes them a criminal mastermind.

i have microsd cards of all brands and gigs scattered around my desk. the packages most of em came in started cluttering up so i trashed em. now how can i check what speed they're rated? (my zio didnt even have the one giger in it like it was supposed to)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MagickalShadow:
If you're worried about hackers, then a smartphone is really not for you. To be honest though, it is not really all that hard to avoid being hacked. Of course, if it ever happens then it happens. Just like my home could be robbed, my car could be stolen and I could be mugged. Nothing worthwhile in life is 100% safe. Oh and at least I won't be the guy in line checking all my pockets for the little extra bit change because I am short on cash.

Those are the assholes that piss me off.

Who knows why they only target people with credit cards. To be honest, I don't care because I don't have to worry about it.

And now, I am off to go buy something on Android Market. Don't worry, I will enjoy it enough for both of us :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MagickalShadow:
On the front of the SD card, typically on the label, there will be a symbol that looks like a capitol C with a number inside it. That number represents the speed class of the card.

Our update is coming and it's going to be Froyo!

www . ubergizmo . com/2011/02/samsung-epic-4g-and-sanyo-zio-to-receive-ota-froyo-update

At long last, if you’re rocking to a Samsung Epic 4G and Sanyo Zio, you would do well to mark February 21st on your calendar – after all, that is the day where the Android 2.2 Froyo update will roll out for both handsets, with the Epic 4G taking around 4 days for a nationwide release, while the Zio will require another additional day – this means you shouldn’t fret if friends in other states have already received their updates next Monday, you might get yours over the week instead. The Samsung Epic 4G will receive the EB13 build of Froyo, while the Zio will get build number 2.200SP, where among the listed changes include the addition of Swype, Sprint Zone 2.5.5, Sprint ID activation improvements and superior battery life.

HAHAHAHAHA u said paranoia. got me good with that one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] itrustno1:
i know, those assholes piss me off too! seen it happen sooo many times that i ALWAYS make sure to have more than enough cash for what i intend to buy. even if i dont know what im buying (flex bucket for Android Mkt apps) i know how much im spending on it and i always know how much im carrying on me. enjoy ur apps, i hope they dont cost u anything.

I couldnt find the name CRICKET anywhere on that page or anywhere else. Have u read the title of this tread, or just rubbing it in????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sirholiday:
I figure with the Zio getting the 2.2 update and all the strange things from cricket, removing it from the market and such, we are getting the update. Just my opinion.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] umadandjelly:
You know it's sad when Sprint not only instantly released a 2.1 update for their customers cause they weren't very accepting of the Zio having 1.6 originally, that they rolled out a 2.2 update 10x quicker than Cricket has been able to do.

Guess Cricket has spent too much time on the Muve Music phone of the past.

I am 50/50 with this update and Crickets inability to support their phone and customers needs. I understand the update is going to reduce a lot of problems that the Zio currently has because of the oudated OS, but I'm also one of the people who doesn't find anything wrong with the Zio (besides the Picture gallery never loading, and everytime I take a picture it prepares the SD card for almost 2 minutes.)

You get what you pay for, and the Zio is living proof. Decent phone, but could be better with an update. Cricket is also one of those cases, dirty cheap plans, in exchange for ****ty customer support, loyalty and internet speeds. I don't have many dropped calls, or unable to send texts, so I'm pretty happy
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreamstryder:
Sd card tester and sd card speed test are both apps that can be found on market...

My little 4 gig card gets 8meg writes and 14meg reads. Would love to get a bigger card but would be hardpressed to find one as fast without paying a fortune :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] umadandjelly:
New Dates to live by for this update we'll probably never see. Feb 22-28th according to the Zclusive facebook page, and a very seemingly accurate Cricket / Kyocera employee posting a full description of the OS update notes.

Looks very promising, but we've all been fooled for so long, I'm still skeptical

Is there any way to view gif images on our zio? (the motion gif's) My non-smart phone before I got my zio showed em no problem, my zio only shows it 1st image of the motion gif.

"Now I'm so broke I can't even pay attention!!"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] itrustno1:
I just got back from paying my phone bill at the cricket store and the person working there noticed my zio (that i bought from that same store) and said, "hey the updated phone are out", I said SHOW ME!!!! He turned to the owner of the store and asked where they wer so i can check it out, and she said to him (in spanish) "I cant release em yet till later this week but just tell him we dont have em yet" Hint: I speak spanish but i dont look like i do. Im gona go back in a lil bit to see if i can get anymore info.....ill post it shortly.

K, I went back to cricket store and she [the store owner] was explaining to the employee (in spanish) not to be telling off the "updated zio's" cause they havnt got the authorization to "shelf em" yet. Then I shocked em both and asked in spanish, "what about the current zio's, do we get updates like YOU BOTH told me when I bought it? She said "when the updates go public we can "shelf em".

LET'S SEE HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sra502:
Cool thanks 4 info. Did u c zclusive page? I'm sure I spelled it wrong.

They said I was the first in the corp store. About 630pm tonight they updated my phone to 2.2.1 It is done at a quick blush it is great.

this is the update to 2.2 i just updated the zio and its not from cricket but it works and everything works great
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] umadandjelly:
A little confused, and off topic but...

In android 1.6 I was able to make any mp3 or Ogg files I had into ringtones for notifications, and the email app, now I'm only able to use the default sounds. Is there a way around this in 2.2 or am I missing something
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sirholiday:
try going to settings>sound>phone ringtone>usder added ringtones.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sirholiday:
I can't believe we have the update!!!

I don't know where someone found the update, but it's completely legit! I just installed it and everything is working great. at times I feel it's little more sluggish than 1.6, but other times it's definitely faster! so far it seems to be wayyyy more stable and feature rich. I would recommend upgrading. I had a little trouble at first, it seemed that the USB driver wasn't working with my 64bit windows 7. So I tried it on my 32bit XP computer and it worked perfectly. Also I installed Universal Androot and it seemed to work! even though they say it doesn't work on 2.2.1 it's working! I installed Barnacle WiFi tether and it worked. I haven't figured out how get flash working yet. if anyone figures that out let me know. Best of luck to all of you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] javajoe96:
does anyone know why we can not install flash 10.1 player
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] umadandjelly:
The processor doesn't support it, so even if 2.2 brings Flash to the platform, it will not work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] umadandjelly:
I know that much. It wasn't working for notifications, not necessarily just a ringer. Edited a file structure within the phone connected to USB and it's working once more. Not quite sure how or what I did, but i believe it was adding a folder called sdcard/media.../etc
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spz0:
Wonder if it's something that could be patched to work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] umadandjelly:
Probably not. Maybe if you knew how or there was a way to replace processor parts, it just wont work. I don't think its a software issue, it has to do with hardware.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreday7918:
Okay can i do this on cricket zio without rooting????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sirholiday:
Yes you can install the update with out being rooted. It is installed from your computer to your phone via a USB cable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreday7918:
ok thanks. but just to make sure, does it work on the "cricket" zio?? cuz im on my second zio, had to replace the other. just wanna make sure

well i tried it for the cricket zio... gets to 98% stalls for 5 mins or so and then comes up with "download failed, error code: [0x50090000]" i tried it a few times same thing each time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MagickalShadow:
Seriously? There are like 500 posts in this forum since yesterday talking about this being for Cricket. If you haven't seen them yet I would strongly suggest you find them and read them before trying this because you will most likely end up asking questions that have already been answered in many of those posts...like the one I am addressing here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SilasMortimer:
Hi. I'm a Linux user. I wanted to search this thread for posts on doing the update via Linux, but search is currently disabled.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully done the update with Wine. If not (or maybe even if so), I was also wondering if anyone minded if I started a separate thread for the subject. I've run into a few roadblocks in my own attempt that might simply require tweaking via myriad downloads and if all of that information could be collected in one thread that's easy to find for Wine users (not just Linux), I'm sure that'll help plenty of people in the future.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gregnotcraig:
Wine won't work.

If you don't have access to a windows installation, use VirtualBox. NOT the OSE version that's usually available your distro's repositories.

use the one from the virtualbox website...the USB support is rock solid.

What that means is you will have to have a windows installation CD/DVD handy.

HTH,

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SilasMortimer:
I was hoping I wouldn't hear that. Looks like I'll have to go to a neighbor's computer to do the update, because I don't have a Windows CD and would never attempt to illegally attain it.

Ahem.

What about ReactOS? Same as Wine? I'd downloaded it and I have a partition set aside for it, but I've never gotten around to installing it. If there's a chance it might work, I could try it and let everyone know.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosco77:
I don't have it on mine any more so I can't say exactly but it starts as some capital letters like "MNB" OR "MBO" or something like that. If you just click on it, it will take you to the installation screen and you can see the icon, then you will know it's the right app. Then you can just hit cancel to go back then delete the file while being confident that you are deleting the right one.

Update brick

So after reading all about these updates tonight I ran the typical kyocera update tool while connected to my wireless network at home. I seemed to go through but I still showed 1.6 on the phone. so I checked again and it showed an update still ready for it,.. I let it run and it restarted again and a 3rd time,. this time it went through alot more and failed on one of the updates but then restarted itself and now it's bricked,.. I can't seem to get it to stay on I see Kyocera,.. sometimes the android logo but it never boots now. I used no unofficial updates or anything, just the normal kyocera update tool and now it's Fed up. Anyone got any idea why it's doing this or how to fix it? and now it just keeps restarting over and over and all I see is the Kyocera logo...ever...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kebamishima:
XD there it is!!! Our first brick!!! Sorry bro i know it must suck.. i can't help you any, but I'm sure one of the more experienced users can. I did the update just fine, went through on the first try, although I did use the computer method... meh... sorry again, wish I could halp moar...

Remove stock apps

If anyone is looking to remove stock apps from their Zio, such as UNO, Midnight Bowling, Mobile Web, Storefront, MyAccount, etc... The free app "Uninstaller for Root" works wonderfully! You do have to be rooted however. But that's not too hard.

not quite the response I was looking for just yet but thanks,.. I think,.. lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seabhac:
How about you post a freaking fix for all the phones you've bricked with this update huh? I can't do jack with my phone now and it was working fine before, albeit with a subpar OS on it. I'm running windows 7 64 bit and I can't do anything with my phone now, sort that one out Cricket,...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gregnotcraig:
THEY didn't brick your phone. YOU did

THEY didn't say the update was compatible with 64bit windows. YOU ran it anyway. There are KNOWN issues anytime you try to use 32bit drivers and/or software on a 64bit system.

Sit down, take a deep breath. Bring your phone to your local Cricket store. They'll take care of it for you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seabhac:
Umm actually I didn't use my desktop system to run the update I did it like the Cricket rep recommended and ran the update via wifi,. I followed all the instructions per his posting, it never initially touched my desktop system. So yeah, THEY bricked my phone with the update all I did was touch YES on the phone to do the update via WiFi :) I'll likely still have to bring it into a store as it's in a continual loop now and I can't break it out of it due to my OS not recognizing any Android 1.0 drivers whatsoever,..

same **** happaned to me i took it back to the store and they did the update for me

After being jerked around by everyone I've talked to at Cricket I'm so happy to see some of you get the upgrade! I'm on package 3 and waiting for it to go ahead and reboot. Here's hoping.

Anyway the nearest corporate store to me is a pretty good drive in bad traffic so if anyone can provide a new link for the PC update that would be great just in case this wifi update doesnt pull through. The previous one is expired. Anywho, thanks for everyones hard work here, and good luck to all of you!

Issues with updating Zio to 2.2?

Hi all,

My name is Ryan and I work on behalf of Cricket. As we have noticed in previous comments, some users have reported unsuccessful upgrades or "brick" after attempting installation.

Please be sure to download & install ALL 3 packages to complete successful upgrade. To check current Android version: Visit Menu>Settings>About Phone>Android V. to see if indicates 2.2.1. If not, re-start / re-initiate / complete the upgrade process.

The update will take some time 45min or more with WiFi. Please be patient and do not turn off, remove battery or take any action that may disrupt the rebooting process. NOTE: The third package reboot online will take up to at least 15mins to install. This does not include time it takes to download third package. Once again, thank you for your patience and when "successful" appears after 3rd package installation, you are ready to enjoy new upgrade

If still unsuccessful, please visit a full service corp. Cricket where they will examine your phone, attempt a new update and if found to be under manufacture warranty, you WILL receive a replacement.

*Please be advised, any phones that have been "rooted", forced downloads of any unofficial / "leaked" Cricket upgrade and/or any other modifications will VOID warranty and will not receive a new phone.

Best,

Ryan on behalf of Cricket
