A few threads here and elsewhere mention setting the network preferences to try to help with connectivity issues. One suggests using "WCDMA only", but no one else has substantiated this. Can others chime in with their experiences with experimenting with their network preferences, especially whether or not it has helped curb random reboots and "hunting" for signal issues?

I myself am trying this, but I don't have the best controls for a good experiment. So far, all I've determined is that I can keep my IM programs running at work if I just stay on 2G...not ideal. But there are several other network choices that may be optimal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Seriously, lol..

I am coming from a CE device and going to android is a little bit of a learning curve.. Not that its harder but its different obviously.

What I am asking basically.. All these guides that are written out talk about things as if we already know them..

Don't get me wrong, they are written great, but I don't know certain lingo.. For example I am really wanting to install a ROM.. Just got my evo a few weeks ago, Rooted it and thats it.. Looking into Roms and reading the instructions, its like "WHATTT??"

Sure they explain how to do it, but they don't explain in detail certain steps.. It happens as many people assume they should know..

For example (and they are all like this)

I am looking at the FRESH'S rom.. Seems like a good Rom from what I read, but looking at the instructions for just the Radio

http://geekfor.me/faq/flash-radio/

2) Boot in to RA and pick “Flash zip from sdcard”

RA?? What is RA??

Before these instructions it says "Don’t flash this unless you have a CDMA Evo 4g"

I am sure most people know what CDMA is, but I don't.. Have no Idea, lol

I am basically hoping there is a guide "FOR IDIOTS" :)

Thanks all
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
ra is a recovery, you can have either clockworkmod or amon_ra, they both do the same so its personal choice.

cdma is type of network, ie sprint, verizon, cricket. gsm is the other, ie att etc.

now that your phone is rooted, make a backup before anything else. you boot into recovery by turning the phone off, then give it 5 secs then hold Volume down button and then pressing the power button, when it responds you can let go. wait for img file checks to finish then press volume down once to highlight recovery and press power to select. you will now be in recovery. go into nandroid and make a backup.

you can use rom manager from the market to flash many roms however the fresh and damagecontrol links are currently erroring.

before flashing any roms be sure to wipe data and cache either in recovery if done manually or by checking the box in rom manager

install rom manager, you can make a backup through it. its an automated app, tell it what to do and it will boot into recovery and do it then reboot again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Have Rom manager.. I just did a "boot into Recovery" I then did a nandroid backup.. But why? I did this with Titanum.. How many back ups do I need? This is where I get confused..

I did a couple things with Titanuim and it took like 600 megs of space, now I am doing what seems like the same thing with nandiod back up?

Now, do I just unzip both the fresh rom and the radio, put it in a folder on my Sdisk, open rom manager, choose manually install or whatever it says, and point it to the unzipped Fresh Rom??

If yes, then how do I do the radio?

THANKS

Also, I know my apps will be gone by doing a root, and I could just download then again,,, (correct??)

What about my contacts and pictures and videos??

THanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
you don't unzip the rom, and you shouldnt need the new radio, put the fresh zip on your sd card and in rom manage tell it to flash it and check wipe data and cache.

you can always redownload your apps from the market, purchased ones stay purchased

no loss of pics or vids. sd card isnt wiped

you can check your current baseband version and if its the same then your already set
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk0358:
Titanium will backup your apps and app data too if you want. When flashing a new ROM you can download titanium from the market and then restore all of your apps.

Doing a nandroid backup in essence takes a snapshot of what your phone looks like at that point in time (apps, user preferences, theme, etc) and saves it. At any point later on, after trying different ROMs, changing settings, etc you can revert to that nandroid backup and restore it. Doing so will bring your phone back to that exact state when you performed the nandroid as if you never did any of the changes afterward.

Thank you for explaining that.. MAkes sense now..

Also.. You say I don't need a new radio, but the main Fresh Rom post, says I "SHOULD " get the new radio, (which he posted) and install that before or after..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk0358:
I did? :confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
you would install the radio after, manually in recovery. leave it zipped too, put it in an easy place to get, like the root of the card.

Looks Like I am done... That was nice and easy (thanks to Rom manager)

I am now going to install the radio that was recommended.. Can I use Rom manager for that too??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
in TitaniumBackup (tiB) ... go to Batch .. Backup all user apps

(i would suggest purchasing tiB. the paid version is MUCH faster and you won't have to click on each app to restore it. i also like that you can create a flashable zip file for your backup. ie: an update.zip file. it's under the the "More" section.)

i would suggest using Amon_RA as your loader. here is the thread to review it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026&highlight=amon_ra

do a nandroid. (don't forget to copy a nandroid onto your computer once in a while...having ur nandroid exist only on ur sdcard sux if you lose ur phone or ur card melts)

- between ROMs..do a full wipe. (ie: From Fresh to BakedSnack or CM6) just do it. it will save you stress and irritation. it will also help you streamline your recovery process and develop overall familiarity with the system.

- when upgrading a ROM (ie: Fresh 3.1 to Fresh 3.1.1 or 3.2) usually you can just wipe your Cache and DalvikCache (always read the FirstPost of your ROM ... some times you need to full wipe)

- Flashing a kernel can have significant impacts on your device. always flash Cache and DalvickCache. always have a good nandriod ready. always be plugged in or have >50% battery. always in this case means...not technically "Required", but don't cry to me if something goes awry.

the tiB will restore your applications but not settings. some apps like launcherPRO OR adw.Launcher or SMSbacup+ etc will allow you to export your settings. then you simply import your settings when needed. usually works quite well.

the nandroid is more like a 'Ghost Image' we use on computers. it will allow you to recover your devices almost 100% to the point it was when the image was taken. similar to tiB but diferent. tiB backups up the apps. nandroid backs up the whole system.

check this thread for Radios... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

yes, you will flash the radio zips in the recovery console as well

this is a combo zip and should work fine http://www.mediafire.com/file/ry3k8....00.09.01_WiMAX_26023_R01_PRI_NV_1.77_003.zip

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Umm this is not good.. where are all my contacts? I was under the impression they would stay.. How do I get them back? I did a nandroid back up and a Titanium too.. Where did they go? Or should I just sync to my computer again?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
if your contacts are synced to gmail they will appear shortly after sync, if you have them on your computer you can sync them that way

once the radio is current you don't have to update it again, it won't be downgraded with flashing roms

About to do the Radio install..

Here is what I did..

After installing Fresh Rom

I downloaded again Rom manager

I opened it up and selected to reboot into Recovery mode

I am now in ClockworkMd Recovery

I am going to choose "install zip from Sdcard"

Then go to where I put the radio zip on my sd card, confirm to do it, and that's it?

The reason I am asking is because I see other instructions mention to choose "flash from zip"

But my thinking is they have a different type of recovery program?

So is install from Zip correct?

THANKS
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i'm not much for themes, i only use the battery icon and the boot animation. but since you use your own framework.apk...it works across differnent ROMs.

Am I getting it? :) thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
This statement is incorrect. Titanium WILL backup and restore ALL settings, both app and system. For example, it will restore save points in games, text messages, emails, saved wifi access points, home screen layouts, and pretty much everything else you can think of. Once you've restored, reboot your phone and all system data will repopulate.

@fastfed- check out the mattedblues theme. That's what I'm using with Fresh 3.3.0.1 and I love it. I flash it over every ROM that I try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk0358:
I believe you have to select "backup all user apps + system data" when making your backup and "restore all apps with data" when restoring for this to be true. And doing this between completely different ROMs can give you a few hiccups.

I haven't had any issues with restoring system data across different ROMs. I am selective about what data I restore though, so that could be why I haven't had any hiccups. I only do the important stuff though, specifically bookmarks, messages, calendar, user dictionary, email settings, accounts, and wifi access points. The rest of the stuff I don't need to restore.

I'm trying to get a feel for what kind of demand there is out there for a MySQL manager for Android.

Obviously there's only going to be a small niche of people who would want/use one, myself included, so I guess I wanted to get the feedback of the people on these forums to see what demand is like.

I'm currently building one that I plan to stick on the Android Market in the next week or so, and I'll let everyone who expresses interest know when that happens. The first version I put out will be a "lite" version. Features will include:

Create/Edit/Delete server/db credentials

View a list of all Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures in a db

View first 100 records of any Table or View

Drop Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures

Add/Edit Views

Add/Edit Stored Procedures

Run custom queries

If the demand and responses are good, I will completely re-do the UI, add some nice graphics, and put out a much more feature-rich version. Not going to waste my time to do that, though, if I don't feel there is enough need.

Thanks in advance to everyone who responds!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] __max__:
Can't find on the market, is there a download link?

Also, about "Run custom queries" is there the option to save/load the queries too?

I will appreciate that because i often run the same queries, so i save and load them when i need :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
As of right now there is not. This would be a feature I would definitely add if I decide to make a 'full' version. This was really more or less just a quick tool I made for myself to do quick db edits/checks on the fly when problems are reported. It has a ton of potential, I'm just not sure how large the demand is for a 'full' version of this.

My app targets 2.1 and up so not sure why you don't see it in the Market, but I'll go ahead and post it in the OP. Look for it there.

Downloaded from here.

It seems to connect, at least i don't receive any error, but i don't see the tables/views/sproc, and if i try to run a query the result is empty..

Tried with 2 different db on 2 different servers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] teleknEsis:
There's likely a bug in my connection error reporting. If you're not seeing any tables or views then there's probably something wrong w/ your connection settings.

Make sure your MySQL db is set to allow remote connections, and also verify that the port you specified is correct. Hope that helps

Im' pretty sure everything it's ok, from my home pc i can connect without any problem...
