[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
hey, i have a samsung vibrant, the t959 or something..

I rooted my phone, and then used the one click lag fix from the market.

Does this mean that i won't be able to get OTA(over the air) updates, or when i DO update it, will it soft brick? because it's soft bricked before and i had to return it to t mobile and get a new one for 10$ shipping fee, and my parents don't wanna deal with the trouble again.

so questions again:

-Will i recieve OTA updates even after lag fix?

-Will my phone soft brick (stuck on vibrant/samsung screen ) when i do update it?

ALSO a quick question...

if you have a samsung vibrant with the latest and newest firmware, and on your phone it doesn't say theres a update...

can you go to settings, scroll to bottom and press SOFTWARE UPDATE, does it say "no firmware"

thanks for the help, and so far these forums are awesome help.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
someone please help me
[Vibrant General] NJLaPrell:
You will still get OTA updates, but if you try to install them, you WILL soft brick. That is easy to recover from if you install Odin and flash back to stock software (directions are all over the place around here).

I would warn that even if you undo and uninstall the lag fix, you still risk a soft brick accepting OTA updates (happened to me with the JI6 update). Your best bet is to learn how to recover from a soft brick with Odin rather than returning your phone to T-Mobile, otherwise avoid rooting and all that comes with it.

To answer your last question, yet, you get that message when there are no firmware updates. Pushing the button doesn't get you an OTA update any faster either.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
So if i did the lagfix without making the nandroid backup, the better way is to use Odin to flash back to stock?

The factory reset of the phone itself no longer bring me back to stock after lag fix?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Oh my God! Thank you so much. Im VERY protective but can you link me to the place of the guide for Odin of not ill ask someone else no worries thanks so much

guys,

i use mybackup pro to backup (duh :p) my apps from mccm build. then i restore them on my newly installed nexushd2 build. when the process completes, i try opening some apps one by one and some of them can't be opened (force close). the ones that do open, don't retain the saved states!

with titanium, some apps don't get restored at all, although i have selected them.

unfortunately, angry birds is one of the victims. so, if all else fails, could anyone at least help me with an angry birds save file?

yes, i have rebooted my phone. any help will be appreciated. thanks.

Hey,

So i recently reinstalled my Windows 7 and today i plugged in my Blackstone. Windows downloaded WMDC and installed it, but i couldn't see the sd card.

I then noticed that the Blackstone also didn't recognize the card, so i tried my card reader, but it just get's stuck and also can't open the card.

I can't format it, i have some pics on it that i'd like to get if possible, but just getting it to work will be fine too.

Any help on this?
[Click General] eljanor:
While listening to music, i recognise a short crack or lag everytime I lock or unlock the screen (and only then, otherwise I didn´t experience any lags during playback).

The only time it worked flawlessly was with the stock ROM and HTCs stock music player. All other music players I tried after that had the issue, even on the stock ROM.

I also tried the MoDaCo Custom Donut ROM, now I am on the spqrom 0.6 I found on xda (FroYo, Cyanogen based) - still experiencing the same problem with all players (tried PowerAMP, Cube3, Winamp and almost every other player out there...)

Can´t find anything on the forum or on google, any suggestions? :confused:

Those cracks drive me crazy! Please let me know if there is a music player/ROM/system file hack out there that can fix the problem.

Can somebody please tell me how to get the Today Page Weather to update? When I moved to different cities it used to update the weather for the city I was in. Now it is stuck on St Louis. It is set to update every 15 minutes. It doesn't seem to be getting location information.

Have a tilt2 with ROM version 2.10.502.4

OS version 5.2.21887

Manila version 2.5.20133329.2

Thank you for your help!

Just as additional information, The Touch Flow 3d Weather page updates correctly and has a little GPS sign by the correct local city, but that city doesn't transfer to the Today page.

I also forgot to mention that this is happening on the Today Page with HTC Sense selected as the today page.

I'm hoping one of you geniouses out there will know what is wrong here. Please!

[G2 and Desire Z General] Alluuu:
Hi,

I'm sorry, I just got my very first android phone, it's great and all, I'm just a little worried.. I'm wondering if my European Desire Z is in the average pile, since i feel it's slow at times, especially the camera when moving and the picture stays a little behind and snaps at times (bad for taking videos). Also when sliding the keyboard in or out, going into or out of the landscape mode freezer for a few seconds (up to 5) until it gets turned. Plus in the menu sliding my finger the menu sometimes hangs a couple of seconds before sliding. So for comparison it would be great if a couple of other benchmarks got posted here as well..

Mine:

Gears: 57-58 FPS (which is 3-4 slower than regular Desire running Froyo even though DZ is supposed to be better and faster)

BenchmarkPi: 1380 ms

Linpack:

MFLOPS - 33.044 (also lower than regular Desire)

Time - 2.54s (very slow)

Norm Res - 5.68

Precision: 2.220446049250313E-16

Quadrant: 1529 (which is not that bad, but have noticed that G2-s get over 1.6k)

NenaMark: 32.8 FPS (also pretty good)

Which also worries me, is that the quadrant system information tells me I have 382228 kB Memory, is this normal for 512 MB?

Sorry if I don't make any sense, but i just want to be assured, that my phone is as good as it can be (stock) :)

Thanks for any help.

Alari
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Re Gears: 57-58 FPS - I believe there is a FPS cap of 59 FPS, it actually makes sense because it would conserve battery, there is no point in drawing more frames per second. That also means we get lower scores in benchmarks because we never see higher that 59FPS. Anyone who had seen more than 59 FPS on desire Z please correct me.

On other things, all I can say my Desire Z never lags in any menus and there is definitely no lag when changing orientation, I had iPhone 4 guys here be impressed with Desire Z.

To compare Quadrant you have to use Pro version that displays individual parts of the score, like I/O, GPU, etc. It's also known that there are tricks to get better Quadrant scores by simply installing a library or two.

I personally am concerned about GPU performance as seen in games or demos.

I also look at movie players and how they are able to cope with different video files.

Other than that, my Desire Z appears to be lightning fast and is still surprising me positively in many aspects.

[Droid X General] sheth1nks:
I've had my Droid X 2.2 for about two months now and had it customized as far as I could unrooted. All the while, I was compiling a list of features that I'd like that required root.

But still, I didn't have the time to go through the process and possibly debug and/or retest all my apps. (I had jailbroken an iPT3 and an iPad earlier this year and remembered the time required to address fallout).

But then yesterday, while reading tweets, I saw z4root mentioned. I immediately got interested, came to this forum and did a little reading.

I said what the heck, root. So I installed z4root from the App Market and 15 minutes later I had root. (It wouldve been 3-5mins but the 1st attempt was blocked by Lookout. Once i killed Lookout, the 2nd attempt was nearly immediate).

I've installed the apps from my "requires root" list and tested all.

Now I know why they say "A rooted Droid X is a happy Droid X". :D
[Droid X General] Steven58AF:
@ Camero-

Easiest way to verify root is to download a simple droid x root app and see if it works. No need, really, to use adb shell for simple tasks like this. You can program using Terminal Emulator. I just freeze or rename apps using titanium backup pro. Good luck.
[Droid X General] Fury22:
Using z4mod will Droid X stay rooted after reboot/battery pull, or do you have to root it again? Also can this root be un done?
[Droid X General] vudugan:
Works for me, I reboot my phone once a day
[Droid X General] RaptorMD:
Do you have Clockwork Recovery Mod installed (icon showing in the apps folder) and if so when you reboot your phone does it just boot up or does it boot in Recovery mode?

On my short lived D2G every time I turned it on I it would show the moto boot logo then launch Boot Strap Recovery, if I rebooted same thing. I just don't wan to turn it on and then have to reboot just to get past the bootstrap recovery unless I choose to invoke it.

T mobile has data throttling and if you have gone over their magic number (not sure the exact number) they will lower your data to edge speeds

The magic number is 5GB, IE if you go over 5GB of data usage a month, you get throttled down to EDGE speeds.

Its NOT edge speeds they throttle you at. Its around 64kbps. Just faster than dial up. If they throttled me at edge speeds, i would be a lot happier. I know, i am throttled right now. (Well, they think i am. I got around it easily)

[Omnia 7 General] SengUK:
Hopefully very few people will need to use this thread and I have just been unlucky with my phone.

I have Omnia 7 from t-mobile in UK

When I first started to make calls the screen would go blank before I raised the phone to my ear. Even setting the phone down on a flat and level surface after getting the accelerometer to 'kick in' failed to allow any buttons or screen to activate.

This was causing me an issue when I phoned someone and got through to answerphone. I ended up leaving a three minute message of rubbish whilst trying in vain to get the screen to come back on. Resorting to restarting the device to get screen back!

After a day of this I decided enough was enough and I would find a solution.

It seems that my phone's proximity sensor was set far too low (a setting of 10 to be precise). I have now changed my proximity sensor to a value of 30 and when I dial I can see the screen and options, when I raise phone to my ear the screen blanks, and when I then move the phone to look at the screen it lights back up with all the options.

Here is how:

from the phone screen enter ##634# to enter the diagnostic mode

then enter *#0*# to enter a screen showing options for testing

touch the 'Proximity' option (bottom middle)

This displays the proximity test with a display for current value and a set and registered value buttons as well as exit. The colours in the box in the are red for not activated adn blue for activated.

Move your hand about three to four inches from the screen until you see a PROX SENSOR value of 30

Touch the SET option

Touch the OK option

The SET option will inverse in colour

WAIT - WAIT - WAIT

The phone will reboot and you will now have a phone that when you dial still displays the screen, when you raise to ear the screen blanks, and when removed from ear the screen returns.

interestingly I now have a Diagnostics option in my programs list too!
[Omnia 7 General] mwako:
Heh, Thanks, I just set it too 10 again and i also got the icon in the menu, Got way to save typing ##634# everytime now :P

[General Questions and Answers] jagpoag:
I'm sure there are some that will say I'm wrong but that is just part of life. With that being said, just ignore it. Anti virus scanners pick up things all of the time as trojans when they are not. I frown on running these things to be honest because they are one of the biggest causes for PC problems and most do not even realize it. I'm not saying that keeping a scanner on your PC and running a scan every few days is not a good idea. HOWEVER, having something that is knows as a "security suite" is just overkill and does more bad than good in the long run.

Just my opinion and 13 years of experience talking. I've done work for the DA's office, judges, many businesses around 3 states. More often than not, these "security suites" do not pick up anywhere CLOSE to everything that is getting on your PC start with and end up flagging things that are safe. It's become such a problem that 80% of the software companies (including the ones that make these suites) will warn you to turn off the scanners/suites before installing their software.

Anyone want to tell me I'm an idiot, go ahead. Just letting you know now that I'm not going to respond. If you want to live in fear and bog down your PC with all of this software, be my guest.
[General Questions and Answers] dougjamal:
I agree with you, Jagpoag. Besides, people associated with software security firms have got to make a living somehow so it's not uncommon for antivirus apps to detect something that is indeed safe but fit the definition of a Trojan or a virus to scare computer users into investing more money into their product(s). It's business.
[General Questions and Answers] ToastPwnz:
I would say false positive, the likelihood of it being an infection is very slim. Kapersky does have very good detection rates, but nonetheless every AV makes mistakes.

In my experience it's common for certain AV's to pick up files from another OS that it (the AV) wasn't made for as viruses. AVG used to pick up a Mac OS X file as a virus, but I'm fairly sure that's been remedied as that was a little over a year ago, possibly longer. Bottom line; I highly doubt it's an infection, being a fairly popular application you would think someone would have noticed if it was doing anything suspicious. Nothing to worry about in my opinion.

Z4Root is an app used to ROOT your Android phone, of course it includes some sort of exploit.

[General Questions and Answers] Tribulattifather:
I agree; A false-positive. Your log said it was untreated.. I would leave it that way.

If you're using an exploit you're probably going to trigger that reaction by anti-malware detection software.
