[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] jabuzan:
Mine is the original vpad10, but sounds like your grub loader is the problem. Suggest reinstalling everything - android first then Windows 8 to get the fancy new Windows bootloader screen.

** To update everyone reading my original revue, the latest build of android x86 works brilliantly on this tablet, including all google apps and access to the play store. Windows 8 loads up but due to low screen resolution, will not load metro apps (unless you do a quick reg hack to stretch the screen - google it). After nearly 2 years use and a few drops, it's still going strong, good battery life, and upgraded hdd to 32g is much better.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LittleMerc:
Hey guys, I was able to use wifi well, and then i did a hard reset yesterday, which causes my HD7 able to detect multiple networks but cannot connect into either of them. Tried my own router, cannot connect. Then I hard reset again but still cannot get into any of it. Anyone has any idea? Since it is able to detect connections, I believe it shouldn't be the driver's problem? Correct me if i am wrong and PLEASE HELP ME!!!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LittleMerc:
For god sake anyone?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfn:
Did you try connect with your password on you home network?

also try rebooting both your phone and modem router.. sometimes rebooting the router helps as well
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LittleMerc:
Yep, initially I thought it was my router's problem, but i went to starbucks and it still fail to connect...
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
sounds defective then. I would call your carrier and see if they can help.

Why did you hardreset?
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Just flashed StupidFast v1.2.3 kernel through CWM and rebooted. Phone came up... how do I tell that I am actually running that kernel?
[Fascinate General] ellisz:
You can look in set cpu. There are details that will tell you the kernel info.
[Fascinate General] billypickett:
How fo you backup your setting in cwm and flash that kernel
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Start by doing a Google search or an XDA search....
[Fascinate General] lthibeault:
Wherw in setcpu app dors it say your kernel? Is it linix version under info?
[Fascinate General] chrisexv6:
Yes. Geeknik tagged his kernels so you will see geeknik somewhere after the base kernel version. I believe the date/time thats in the tag is the build time as well, so you can kind of get an idea of what geeknik kernel you are running (it looks like the 1.2.3 version was built around 4PM on the 16th)
[Fascinate General] atrich0608:
So I was thinking.....

With all the Nexus S rumors floating around I ad a thought. Why would Samsung put much effort into 2.2 when 2.3 is coming soon. Maybe we will skip over 2.2. Also I am hoping a Nexus S will allow us have have a good shot at getting a stock Android build or a stable cyanogenmod version because it will be based on Samsung hardware.

One can only hope, or maybe me thinking is not such a good thing after all.
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:
Samsung's efforts are complete for the most part, regarding 2.2. They have released it to (all or most, no confirmation) Galaxy S carriers. It is now up to the carriers to accept (as has been done by several) or reject (which is usually the case with VZW).

We've, of course, gotten zero verification that VZW has received anything, but based purely on the fact that it is already *out* on other SGS devices, one can logically assume VZW is the one holding the process up at this point...again, as usual.
[Fascinate General] atrich0608:
Sounds like buisness as usual for VZW. Reminds me of my good old BlackBerry storm.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
the nexus S will likely be a much a different phone while being very similar, it will likely not use RFS filesystem as it is garbage, and it will be a GSM model, while one would question why put out froyo so late in the game to your flagship, what makes you think they could have gingerbread ready if froyo still isn't ready, im primly on the same boat as everyone else and am getting tired of being jerked around while older, slower, less selling phones receive an update that we can't even get a date on.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Why are people so upset about the Froyo delay? The Motorola Backflip that came out in March just got updated to 2.1. The Fascinate was released 2 months ago and shipped with what the Backflip was just upgraded to. It would be nice to have Froyo on the Fascinate, but is it really that big of a difference between 2.1 and 2.2 that people can't just be patient and wait for it?
[Fascinate General] keith.mcintyre26:
I'm not 100% on this, but I don't think an upgrade from 2.1 to 2.3 can be done while completely skipping over 2.2. Not an OTA at least.
[Fascinate General] deaffob:
Actually most people think that if Nexus S is indeed Galaxy S that means that all Galaxy S will benefit, this is not true. Even if all other Galaxy S version receive 2.3 and fascinate doesn't, we can't do anything about 2.3 because the 2.3 kernal isn't here. OS and kernal are two different things. We've had OS sources for the longest time because it is released by Google, that doesn't mean anything if we don't have the working kernal. Devs tried to build 2.1 kernal from the ground in the past with Droid Milestone(?) but that was hell and no one would even try to do that ever again.

So stop with Nexus S = Galaxy S. Even if that is true, unless it is exactly same as Fascinate, we won't benefit anything from that, just like we can't benefit from Internation version, Vibrant, Epic 4G, and Captivate Galaxy S. We need specific "Fascinate" kernal code.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
You are exactly right. We couldnt have gingerbread for the exact same reason we can't have froyo now. Think about. I think the fascinate is doomed. Thank God for our good devs, they can keep us up to date, til LTE, At which point, im out!!!
[Fascinate General] illtema:
I agree with ksizzle.. I'm starting to think this phone is doomed
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
I wouldnt say its doomed at all . like dude said , its only been two months . Yeah other carriers have it already and vzw is notorious for things like this... but give it a little more . Im probably the most impatient guy around here , i mean the ONLY reason i care at all about it is so development picks up on it . I could care less about playing videos in a browser without an app haha .

I know there is a little more than flash .But there isnt really anything WRONG with 2.1 . Just lack of development ... and even with that said , new kernals are popping up , new roms ,etc . I think this phone is far from dead. i just think we are really impatient haha .
[Fascinate General] illtema:
im def being pessimistic but i'm just getting flashbacks of having a blackberry tour last year and being on crackberry forums like wheres our update? and the tour being like the redheaded step child of verizons phones and i jus got deja vu w/ this delayed 2.2 situation...

and then its like gingerbread is coming out now, so there will b phones on 2.3 while we JUST get 2.2.... how long is it gonna take us to get 2.3. im fairly positive it won't b as timely as it should... so i kinda feel doomed lol... i love this phone but dam
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
while it may have only been two months since this phone came out froyo has been out since may 19, 2010 to be exact. That puts us at six no that behind the current OS, which In a week or 2 will be the old one. However, with that said, I think there are some things in store for everyone that will make this phone MUCH more enjoyable and hopefully we can get it soon.
[Fascinate General] jorge3687:
I think that we are spoiled users, if we look to the dark side, the iPhone gets a mayor update about once a year, we have to chill out a bit and enjoy what we have now
[Fascinate General] bL33d:
I had froyo on my droid it really brought nothen major to the table imo. Im fine with current setup but i just want the fixes/patches for bugs and im happy. Main being gps and button backlights.
[Fascinate General] Thrillhouse847:
I have to agree. I remember going through this when I had my Droid and being unimpressed with 2.2. Other than Flash, which for me isn't even a huge deal anyway, I didn't see what all the fuss was about.

I definitely am DYING for a GPS fix though. As for backlights, not sure what's wrong with them unless you're talking about how long they stay on but I thought that there is already a mod for that anyway, no?

[Fascinate General] atrich0608:
Other than flash and Google making applications not work on our phone I am totally happy. (flame suit) If it wasn't for those things I would be happy if we never got another update.

I am using JT's non- voodoo kernel and system.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
How is google making apps that don't work on the Fascinate?
[Fascinate General] atrich0608:
I am taking about the app's that do not work on 2.1 period, not specifically the Fascinate. Like "Voice Actions for Android", new gmail app, etc.
[Fascinate General] themobijew:
i agree with u except fo the fact that, A. anyone with an iOS developer acct get the OS way in advance. B. when they release an OS update all their stuff gets it.
[Fascinate General] martyotaku:
Canadas Fascinate isn't getting Froyo till January. So let's not get hopes up folkes. I don't see officisl froyo coming this month unless its a leak or a port of some sort.

Anyone ready to jump ship?

Do us a favor and jump ship to another phone plzzzzzzz k thx bai

I can wait for 2.2 if its going to be stable. Look what it did to the Droid X...

EDIT

I asked GalaxySsupport if the had info about a 2.3 release and this is their reply...

"@GalaxySsupport: @iTz_Nicholas72 Re:2.3--I'm not given any information about updates beyond 2.2. But if I hear anything I'll let you know :) ^Mary"

Not surprised but at least they replied quickly...

ROM: Blackhole 1.3

Kernel: StupidFast 1.2.3
[Fascinate General] keith.mcintyre26:
Just read on android central the canadian fascinate won't get 2.2 until next year.

What are you taking about? So you think programs designed for win7 should also work on vista or xp? There are a lot of programs that are not reverse compatable.
[Fascinate General] ruthlessbeatle:
to this...i was thinking you think they are being scum and holding out on us cuz they want to go big on the sales on the d2 and the x as the ollny phones to have flash? thats why vzw will prob be the last one to release it....after xmas
[Fascinate General] lucas.scott:
i know this is kinda the same ol song and dance, BUT haha . I was talking to galaxyS support about a replacement phone and stuff . and at the end of the conversation the rep told me to make sure and register the device online "that way i can get the 2.2 update when its released in a couple weeks"

i know he may have just been trying to get me to register ....but still

im with most you guys , i can definitely stand to wait ...but id take it haha

If you see the pictures of back panel it has got 3 antenna top right corner near the ringer is for GPS, top left corner is for BT & WIFI and in the bottom for GSM reception antennas

sorry for the poor picture quality
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
Photos are not necessary because every antenna is labeled.

I had the same problem with my bluetooth after opening my HD2 to repair sth...

I reopened it and lifted the contacts of the antennas but it won't work...

What cable was unplegged, because in my case every cable is plugged correctly :/ !
[HD2 General] Silberpfeil3110:
Solution

Hey guys!

I managed it to solve this problem, at first it wasn't really clear for me which cable you mean, but then i looked around and i found the cable on the mainboard was loosen! I've attached some pictures, where you can see the clip on the mainboard!

Thanx!

PS:

Location of the clip > At the third picture (the darker one) at the upper left edge of the print plate (green one) there is a small silver clip on the mainboard near the whole for one those 4 screws. ;)
[HD2 General] kslakhani:
hi

great u managed it
[HD2 General] Chris Race:
The same here: I was able to fix it, too. The cable simply was not plugged in.

this looks interesting, what is the point of doing this to the phone though?

Point is to install custom updates - e.g. newer Gmail etc. that is otherwise locked in the firmware.

Also if sby creates Gingerbread you could update to a new ROM using this Recovery menu. Only it'd be safer to have a backup option too but then we need sby to write a new recovery menu for the Flipout (and Charm).

[Vibrant General] JD76:
My Vibrants USB connector is screwy and im going to ask for a replacement. Once I get my replacement, how I do transfer my info?

Contacts and Calendar will automatically get transfered from Google.

With Titanium Backup - do I just copy that folder over from one internal SD to the other and then proceed to reinstall apps?

What about other app data, etc.. Should I just copy over folders from one to other? Would that work?
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
All of the above should work just fine.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
I'll just echo shrivel and say you should be fine doing that however you will probably need to download the actual apps as the all's don't save with Titanium. Basically when you go to the market and download an app the apk is saved and installed on your phone what titanium will do is save all the data once you make a change to your phone say installing a Rom it wipes the data and uninstalls all of your apps. But it does not delete the apk so when you use titanium to restore it looks for that apk to reinstall it with the same data and setting. If you completely wipe your phone or copy the backup file to a new phone titanium will be looking for the apk to reinstall but its not there.

I know that was kind of long and if I'm wrong someone please correct me.
[Vibrant General] rbcamping:
I'm doing this right now and cant seem to get it to work.

I have titanium and a friend backed everything up to my ext. sd card.

How do I get titanium to pull it off of the sd card? Or if I transfer it to the internal card in a folder (which is what its in) how do I get titanium to see the folder?

I can see the folder with astro on the internal card, but titanium doesn't see it?

What am I doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Vibrant General] qzmp010:
your backup folder containing all the backups should be named TitaniumBackup and placed on the root of your internal sdcard. or you can specify the name of your backup folder in the preferences menu in titaniumbackup.

also, titianium backs up your app+data for you, so you don't need to re-download it from the market. if you want to backup other stuff like call log, text messages, home screen icons, phone contacts etc, use 'mybackup pro'
[Vibrant General] rbcamping:
I feel like an idiot,:o How do I get to the root?

Do I have to use a computer to do it? or can I transfer the files there from the sd card or the internal memory?

Please be patient me

Android operator in training:D
[Vibrant General] Deadsilent14:
In astro if you press the home button it should take you to the root of the internal sd. Top should say that you are in directory /sdcard. Just move the TitaniumBackup folder to there and it should work.

EDIT: The home button in astro BTW, at the top under the notification bar, not the android home button on the bottom of the phone.
[Vibrant General] rbcamping:
titanium backup folder is there and all the files are in it.

When I open up the app titanium back up, go to back up/ restore and then hit menu, batch, I don't see the files that are in that folder only whats on the phone as it came from tmobile (none of my apps and files)

What am I doing wrong or failing to do?:o

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Probably kernel related. If i select the Set On Boot option, after a reboot both min/max freqs will change to a min of 19 and max of 500. Probably best to leave it until we have devs working on it.

there's really no need to underclock when the screens off, you know that right?

Get an app to graph the cpu use, and you will see the cpu spike when sleeping.

So, in short, yes: downclocking with the screen off really help the battery life

Well according to Amy-B, the mouthpiece over at Dell's Community forum, US users of the beta's and unlocked versions will be receiving the updates first. Well, today marks day three of the rollout, and I have not received anything. I frequently check the update site, like an expectant father in the waiting room, and there's been nothing.

Has anyone in the US, and more specifically, any of the beta testers in the Austin/San Antonio market, received anything for update?:confused::mad:
