Kernel Source for Vibrant?

Hi Eugene,

Can you help me to understand what this kernel build is? Did you take the I9000 source and modify it to work on the Vibrant?

Does it fix the battery drain problem?

Put another way, could this source be compiled and be expected to run on the Vibrant? (Sorry about the noobiness; I am a EE but not a programmer.)

Thanks,

Bruce
[Vibrant Android Development] wildklymr:
I believe this would be simply the source code for the compiled 2.2 kernel we use that he has gotten to work. It was requested by a bunch of people but I read on the cm6.1 irc logs that they requested his source to help speed up the process. I'm sure it can be compiled, but without any modifications you will simply get what is already available in compiled form.

Ok so i had a question about the update that was sent out a couple weeks ago with slacker and VCAST apps...was wondering if i plan to root my phone will this update prevent me from doing that? I thought i had read somewhere on here a couple weeks back that a few people were having issues with either rooting after update or something like that...i could be wrong but thats y im on here asking the professionals lol. Also does the phone still run well after update? Just seems like added stuff thats not necessarily needed...THANKS

Sir i just came back to the incredible forums after a bout with a Dx and a fascinate so i could be wrong as i am not up to date on this shiznit as i used to be(incredible forum). I beleive that this was patched in the latest version of unrevoked. I could be wrong, but i dont think that i am.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
You can root it using Unrevokeds newest update. I don't personally know if the added applications affect the performance of the device in a noticeably negative way or not, since I have not updated. Maybe someone else can chime in?

Hi,

Im having this problem for a couple of days-

I bought a new 16gb micro sdhc card and dying to use it.

Unfortunately- RCMixHD rom uses the ext partition as it loads, and i dont have that kind of partition in my new 16gb card so the device wont even load!

Ive tried some ways to create the ext partition-

Tried formatting it via the clockwork from the HBOOT-

it tells me that the a2sd doesnt show or something.

Tried to flash the amnora recovery- cant get that to work yet:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9644805#post9644805

Is there any way to do that via windows?

Why is that so hard?

Thanks ahead...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
I think it's best with gparted or some other linux distro.

You also have more control on the process.

You can download a live cd from here.

Backup your SD card before you start.

If you need a more detailed guide you can find many with google but they are more complicated and you'll have to read more.

Im really new at linux and just finding my feet. Do i need an ext2/3 and 4 partitions ?

I have 8gb card 6gb fat32 1gb ext3 and 1gb ext 4

should i make a 2/3/4 partition with 1gb each and 5gb fat32 ?

sorry for the daft questions but I have just installed linux for the 1st time
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
You should only have one ext partition (ext3 type I recommend) and the other should be FAT32.

FAT32 should be the first and ext3 the second.

1GB ext3 should be okay for you.

Just follow the instructions above and you'll be alright :).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
I pay the $7 per month, and I want to eventually trade in my 002 EVO for a newer model before I upgrade to something better (talking months and months from now). I want to know basically what will get me a new EVO and how much it will cost me. I already have the light leakage around the bottom buttons, and I know most would see that as a huge flaw. Any input is appreciated. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Why don't you just go into a Sprint store now and trade the phone in for a newer hardware version. That's what I'm going to do since my camera lens cracked and the horrible light leakage. It IS a big deal to me because I watch a lot of movies at night on my phone.

If you claim insurance on your phone you should let them know of the issue with the light leakage (or any other issues) so you can send your phone back in to them. If you are intending on keeping the phone and selling it that would be considered fraud but it's your choice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
So I just walk in and let them know that I want a fixed device? And I intend to keep the new one for a couple weeks before selling it. I just won't want to sell off one of the launch models with the problems associated with that.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesjr02:
If it's anything like other cellular insurance claims you won't be able to keep the "defective" phone. But if you did file a claim you would be subject to the deductible, 50-100 dollars I believe?

No, no. I don't want to keep my 002. I want to exchange it for a newer version that will sell for more when I upgrade. I just wanted to know what it took to get them to swap it out.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
I've been dealing with Sprint for a long time and I have abused their insurance policy as well so let me give you the breakdown for it.

First off, what the Sprint Total Equipment Protection Plan (TEP) is not. It is NOT an upgrade plan. Meaning you can't go in and ask them to swap your phone out just because you want to. There are ways to get "free" upgrades, but I won't go into that. Which brings me to my next point.

Sprint will only swap out your phone if there is something wrong with it. In other words, if its Sprint/HTC's fault or it is not working properly for some reason and it is NOT YOUR FAULT. Defects, software failures(MAJOR), etc. When you tell them what is wrong with your phone, be as DETAILED as possible. They will always reset your phone to factory defaults and try to reproduce the issue. If they can't reproduce the issue, they will return it and say its working fine now. If they reproduce it, they will try to repair it. If they can't repair it, they will order you a replacement. THIS IS FREE

ALSO NOTE: This is Sprint's general policy. There are exceptions, and depending on the person you get, they might be able to do more for you. But this is what you should expect!

If there is damage due to a drop, water damage, or anything that is YOUR FAULT, they will tell you to go through Asurion. Sprint's insurance carrier or w.e the terminology is. This is when you have to dish out the $100 copayment. Only do this if you messed up big time by cracking your screen, dropped it in the toilet (EWW), etc.

Now some extra tips: You want to call Sprint's customer service first. Tell them about your problems, go through their "troubleshooting". If they fix the issue, great! If not, then after you are done, make sure they note your account that you called regarding the issue so when you go into the Sprint store they will have your information. BE POLITE! Trust me it goes a long way.

When you get in the Sprint store, go to their repair center. Tell them you called Sprint's customer care and was told to come in. Give them EVERY SINGLE problem associated with the phone. If it is a defect such as the light leakage, make sure they know that it is a known issue and to check their database. I recently lost 4G cause I lost my RSA keys (stupid WIMAX Radios). I unrooted and went into a Sprint store and just basically said, My 4G isn't working. They did their usual checks. Made sure it wasn't rooted, latest update, factory reset, update profile, etc. They couldn't fix it so they ordered me a replacement phone and i got it the next day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Just to add:

It really depends on how helpful their repair department / manager is. Some will swap out your phone without an issue even if you walk in and say "I want a new phone because this one isn't as bright as my friends."

Others will make the whole process feel like you are pulling teeth! It depends on the person. I suggest if you get this type of person, ask for their supervisor or if they are the supervisor, go to another Sprint store. But also think about what you are asking for. If your phone "feels" different in your hand than your friend's Evo, they will almost NEVER replace your phone. Cause come on. That's just unreasonable. But if there's light leakage, major lag, your battery dies in 2 hours, 4G / 3G, etc doesn't work. Your phone reboots over and over AND ITS NOT YOUR FAULT, then they will try to fix it or get you a replacement.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
I would add, That this guy is right with everything he is saying.. It depends on the person.. Which is weird because they should have proper guidelines... But obviously they can alter them because I have walked in before and got a new phone just because I didn't like it (got a new one) and then the opposite..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Didn't Sprint recently overhault their replacement policies, though? What was all of that about free replacements if you pay the $7 fee for bascially anything except water damage?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
It hasn't changed. They didn't explain it in full.

The $7 basically covers repairs in store and any non-fault issue your phone is having. If you broke it all on your own, you have to pay the $100 deductible. So you dropped your phone down a flight of stairs and the screen cracked. Now as for the camera lens cracking, you can say its cause the damn camera lens protrudes out and you put it down and it cracked. They know about this already and its just a design flaw. Hence why people are getting replacements because of that.

What did change a while back was it used to be $50 per claim. Now they jacked it up to $100. It used to be a great way to get cheap phone upgrades as long as Asurion ran out of replacement phones or your phone is so old they don't support it anymore. In that case they would give you the next best thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
Sekigah, you couldn't be further form the truth. Here are the official guidelines, as of Oct 23rd:

The only reason to put in a claim with Asurion and pay the $100 is for the following:

Liquid damage

fire damage

loss/theft

complete board destruction

- For complete disclosure, complete board destruction is classified as the motherboard being in 3 or more pieces, however extreme trauma to the phone will force you to go through Asurion. If your motherboard is actually visible, but it;s in one piece, it should be replaced free of charge in store. This depends on the tech, the store, and the manager, but knowing the guidelines helps you out.

Now fixed in store, for free:

Broken hinges, housing damage, broken antennas, shattered screens/LCDs

And finally, if you do NOT have TEP: Don't bother coming in claiming manufacturers warranty, because we will send you right to the manufacturer. Any repairs done in store, or replacements that have to be ordered, and you do NOT have TEP, cost $35. No ifs, ands, or buts. This is payable either when you phone is fixed, or before the phone is ordered for you.

As far as the above example: If you dropped your phone down the stairs and you have TEP, the phone is still relatively in one piece, but the screen is shattered? Your phone gets repaired/replaced for free.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
TEP is the $7/month, right?

Edit: Just checked, and it is:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
Correct. Though technically it's $4 and $4, with $7 being the package price.

http://www.phonenews.com/sprint-tepsr-changes-next-week-13303/

I didn't get any updates in the mail from Sprint on this cause I have TEP so this is news to me. Thanks for the update. I stand corrected. This makes the $7/mo charge worth it.

So take the mindset I had and just pretend that everything but dropping it in the toilet and setting it on fire or losing it is free. The latter costs $100 LOL

More or less, if its damaged beyond repair = Asurion and almost everything else = free repair if under TEP and $35 if not. Thats sexy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notasimpleway:
Yes, as long as your phone isn't in three pieces and you have TEP, it is free. Now they get to bring in the $$ cause more people will but the insurance. And most people don't ever use it. In fact, until I got the Hero last year I had never used my insurance. Now I have used it twice. Once with busting the speaker and once with my Evo because it would not stop rebooting. Didn't pay anything. I felt like I got special treatment because I had insurance.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
From my own experiences...

With sprint's insurance a lost phone and $100 will get you a refurbished POS that will most likely be much worse than the phone you have now, complaining about it after you get it is futile as well. I lost one phone in ten years and I was furious at the phone they gave me. It came with a busted speaker and a glitchy screen.

I got rid of their insurance and am going through best buy atm. Supposedly, as long as you keep all the pieces, you will get a brand new one if you ever break your phone. I'm not sure if it covers lost phones though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
Actually, if you get a bad phone from asurion, it has a one year warranty, so have them replace it.

Best buy will not simply give you a new phone, they ship it to their center and repair it (over the course of 2 weeks) while you wait.

As for not knowing the new policies, it was mailed to everyone inside your bill a few months back.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoshioDuo:
Didn't see a Q&A section so I figured I'd just post here.

So I found the Galaxy S Tab on Craigslist and bought it last night... Got it for $220 after some INTENSE haggling. The device was unopened!

One of the reasons I was able to get the price so low was because in 21 days (30 days after original purchase) the bill on this device will not be paid and I assume the device will be blacklisted by sprint - blocking the ESN. Right now it has the 4G service attached to it, but I bought it unopened so I have not activated the service, meaning I didn't not go through the on screen steps from sprint to get it online (3/4g network). I figured now, and always as the phone will have a bad ESN soon, I can just use the tablet as a wifi device around the house and other places.

I just wanted to see if that was a good deal ($220) even though it's now basically wi-fi only (just like an ipad without 3g). Is there any way to clear the ESN once it goes bad?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Sounds fishy, but dang good price. Basically you have a wifi Tab. Once ESN is blacklisted, you the other party can't do anything about it (ofcourse there are *cough* *cough* ways around that too, but i digress). But hey, enjoy your Tab anyway. Just to clarify, the Tab has 3G, not 4G.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pucks98:
What will happen is that the tab will be stuck at the activation page. Right now there is no way to get around activation on the Sprint version. There is a workaround on the other versions by pressing the volume button in a sequence. Right now the Sprint version will not accept the workaround. I was about to buy a Sprint version off of Craigslist, but after reading many posts on different forums about this issue, I stayed away.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoshioDuo:
I opened and used the device last night. The Sprint activation is a little notification that you can hide, but you're right in that it doesn't go away. But the device does work perfect. Used the browser and some games last night. Not sure how much purpose it will serve me though. How do you guys usually use yours?

Having quick google maps, a mini web browser sitting around, and possibly multimedia is all i can think of, but I have laptops, desktop, and my android phone :/ I'm considering selling it (even though i just opened it! haha) but i'm not sure how much i can get for a going-to-be-bad ESN.

Locked

Yeah, it's because he used a business account and even the rep on the phone said that they lock the phone to the account for only the first 30 days. After that, it can be pulled off but thats when they'll also see he's not going to pay the bills.

The rep did say that you can cancel the line within the 30 days ONLY by going into the store your bought the device and signed up for the service at. I can't remember the explanation why but part of it was like inventory or something (sounded like bull___ ) but he also said that they do this to dissuade fraud because "a lot of people were ____insert my scenario with this guy here ___". But he bought them all offline so I'm not sure how that would work.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Anyone buying a CDMA device off CList should always call customer service and verify ESN (takes a few mins) before money exchanging hands. Simple as that.

I have an O2 UK DELL STREAK with 2.1 build 8105 on it which has been unlocked by RebelSIM using their postal unlock service.

So I use my STREAK with my contract ORANGE SIM card without the use of a Rebel SIM II any longer.

However, whilst I expected my baseband to change to 00...it did not. It has reamined the same at 21.

This means, as I understand it, correct me if I am wrong here please, that when I check for updates to the phone, my STREAK tells the DELL servers I have an O2 STREAK (baseband 21) and therefore can not get the OTA update.

Does this mean I have to wait for O2 to release their version of Froyo..sometime mid-December maybe ?

Or is there another route to Froyo ? bearing in my mind I do not want or need any O2 branding/configuration as I do not and never will be using the O2 network with my STREAK.

Many many thanks to any help/advice anyone can offer.

I am quite techno-literate, but if any one is going to start talking fastboot, flashing ROMS etc. please can they provide step by step instructions don't want to end up with a bricked STREAK.

You need to do some research, this guide layes it out step by step to get to a custom 2.2 ROM. You have an O2 streak (baseband ending in 21). Only way to change baseband is by flashing new ROM, its not changed by using a different sim.
