FYI

FWIW

I'm getting a lot of reports from people stating KA5 is worse than JL5 and JK6.

YMMV
[Vibrant Android Development] junxracr:
Battery life is great for me on KA5, as good as jk6/jl5 and that says alot for a previous all nero jk6/jl5 fanboy that I was. The data speed is much better. Gps behaves pretty much the same. I put my phone through very rigorous test this modem can hang ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:

Coming from jl5 to ka6 is a little bit slow let's see how it compares in battery life
[Vibrant Android Development] bce461734:
So far so good. The GPS is more accurate than the JL5. The battery life is much better than the JL5. With the JL5, just turning the phone on until it finishes SDCard scanning, I had only 98% left. With this modem, after I disabled the lag fix, flashed the modem, turned the phone on, opened the browser, went to the market, rebooted twice, and enabled the lag fix, it only drained about 3%.

Thanks, scrizz, for the modem
[Vibrant Android Development] jangst123:
KA6,, so far so good

Had Dragon v5 KA5

Flashed KA6

So far so good.

For the 1st time ever I got an accurate GPS location while inside my house!?

I tried the CWM KA6 modem this morning and I can't seem to get data back on my Vibrant..

WIFI works but no 3g or Edge. Tried flashing back to KA5 (running Nero5 and was working before flash).

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] stark0228:
I think it was a Minneapolis problem. I'm in the SW suburbs and didn't get a signal until about 9:00 AM this morning.

It's working for me now.
[Vibrant Android Development] z3NN9:
I'm actually in SW suburbs myself. I just reflashed Nero and it came back but strangely enough it was about 9am...

Now I'm wondering if I should try KA6 again?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
yeah try it.

it appears as though it was a local problem.

:rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] z3NN9:
Success!

Thanks!:D

I did get it to work this morning.

I flashed back to Nero V5. Data started working. Flashed KA6, data came back on first boot.

Haven't had a chance to test against KA5, overall I didn't get good performance from KA5 modem before.

Will update after I've had a chance to test 3g and WiFi again.

:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] secretseven:
running nerov5, dragon 3.0 kernel, sbg 2.4, and the only thing i've used TB for is angry birds.

i flashed to ka6 modem last night, i'm in kansas city, no issues what so ever, gps locks faster and better then ever before, up to 10 meters accurate, data seems fast, if there is any tests someone would like for me to run just ask

just awaiting a full rom/kernel/modem package
[Vibrant Android Development] tjsynkral:
The KA5 modem is awful. I've tried JL5 and KA6 modems on my KA5 rom with better results - but both modems still have major issues with GSM+WCDMA mode in areas with spotty TMo coverage (my home and work, for example). It gives me no connection or EDGE only, when I should have HSPA available. Changing the setting to WCDMA only yields substantially improved results as described below.

JL5 - 850-1200 maximum speed down, 600 maximum speed up. Stability 5/10. GPS sucks on JL5.

KA6 - 1100-1450 maximum speed down, 600 maximum speed up. Stability 9/10. GPS is acceptably good but not perfect in KA6 (no lock indoors except right next to a window).

[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] elwebmaster:
Moderator, please do not delete/lock this topic, I know that there is a separate one for HardSPL however considering how many people with Mobilicity HTC Snap are encountering the same problem I think that we deserve a place to discuss this particular issue.

Here is how it goes for me:

1) Attempted creating a GOLDCARD (just in case, to avoid bricking my device which happened to other ppl here). Not possible, the new PSAS does not allow creating a Maple goldcard with a Maple device (why?). I created one for G1 from their website but I wouldn't risk using it unless I really have to.

2) Followed all the instructions for HardSPL using 1.17. Everything went well until the point where it asks to confirm USB Connectivity. The update utility was not able to find the device. I disconnected and reconnected it. Windows 7 installed a new driver. Then I ran ROMUpdateUtility again. This time it found the device but the screen was a bit weird (flashing from image empty to image version 1.0.00). Anyway, I proceeded and it finished with 100%. Then it restarted the device. In the bootloader the SPL is still 1.24 like everybody else is experiencing, no changes.

3) Repeated using 1.19 . Exactly the same results.

Questions: is it possible that this has something to view with the custom Mobilicity ROM (which is nowhere to be found on the HTC website)? May be JumpSPL only works with Generic/T-Mobile WinMo ROMs?

Given how many people here are having bricked devices and HTC/Mobilicity don't care to release the shipped ROM, would it be reasonable for us (as a group) to ask the PSAS guys to make a page like http: //psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard for the Maple? My understanding is that if you have a goldcard you can load a ROM which doesn't match your CID, i.e. people with bricked Mobilicity devices will be able to load the Wind ROM and still have a usable HTC Snap 3G.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] roberto75780:
I second that!

Yes, Mobilicity users need some fix to this problem. Is there a workaround that will allow installing the Wind Mobile one (which is the exact exact same but sold as Maple instead of Snap) since the Mobilicity Snap is the like the only phone on htc canada's website with no ROM download.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] steevz:
But don't you need to HardSPL your device before you can install the Wind ROM?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] GReG0:
I have broke it!

How can I can resurrect?
[Droid Incredible General] csseale:
According to android life a new market started rolling out tonight...sweet..

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/10/android-market-receiving-major-ui-overhaul/
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
Towards bottom on the article it states this:

Will that effect previous "paid for" applications as far as updates or anything adverse like?
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I do it all the time and I've never lost anything besides my search history which is why I do it anyway
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
Thanks Lee, will do directly to see if the new update happens.

Edit:

Clearing data throws this which is a little scary to me:

Delete

All of this application's data will

be deleted permanently. This

includes all files, settings,

accounts, databases, and so on.

OK - Cancel

Should it not be "Clear cache" instead
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
I do not get that message at all... AI actually just did it to mine
[Droid Incredible General] csseale:
its ok to clear it all.its stored in the cloud. no diff that flashing a rom
[Droid Incredible General] Gahh Its Lee:
Yea I in fact lied I get the same message and when I reopen it my paid apparently are still all good :)
[Droid Incredible General] C4H1LL:
does it matter if youre rooted?
[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
No clue, moot point as of now. Went to do a screenshot and "double tapped" the screenshot OK and hit the OK on the delete also so it deleted all history and stuffs. When I press Downloads on Market I see all the apps I've got installed and paid for so it's all good.

Here's a pic of what I see when I follow the directions:

[Droid Incredible General] BenHolliday:
Zephaniah pointed out what they said the reason was

If you're like me, when you buy an app it costs like 2 bucks at most and I know within the first 5 minutes whether I wanna keep it or not. Even if I don't particularly like an app I've let it run over the refund time to help support the DEV.

What's a buck or two gunna hurt? Most I've spent on an app was like 11 pound I think and I use it every day for work almost, would have paid 10 times that.

[Android Apps and Games] Droff:
OK, so the standard contacts manager on android sucks.

Is there a separate Contact manager app for android with ability to add/edit additional fields (birthdays,anniversary etc)? I also want those fields to sync normally with gmail and show up on the calendar (Contact's birthdays and events).

Sorry if this been asked before. I have searched but, couldn't finds what I'm looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
What phone do you use? On my Captivate we have that function built into the TouchWiz Contacts app.
[Android Apps and Games] dboss007:
This would actually be a very nice addition for me as well. I have a Moto Droid and the standard Android Contacts manager does stink for not allowing you to edit these fields.
[Android Apps and Games] Droff:
Yeah, I don't have touchwiz and not very sure how it works there.

I'm very surprised that with so many apps out there nobody has done a simple app (I don't really know how simple is it) that can do contacts->calendar events sync with google. I would think all that needs to be done is ability to add 2 date fields to the contact record. Is there something (google/os?) blocking this?

What I simply want to do is enter a birthday and anniversary for the contact on the phone, and want those dates show up on that "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar. Can do it using Gmail on PC (sadly only 1 anniversary shows up :( ), but phone contacts app has no such functionality. Been waiting for this thing forever.
[Android Apps and Games] Droff:
Thought to up the topic and ask again before giving up.

There is really no android app with such functionality?
[Android Apps and Games] irish22022:
Well your phone gets all of that info from Facebook (if I'm understanding you correctly), and facebook is different then google contacts. It shows up the same on the phone, but you'll notice that on your google account, you don't have those contacts.

It's impossible, currently, to get your facebook information to gmail. They are feuding intensely about this. If you've got a yahoo or windows live account, you can import into windows live, then export to google using vcf files.

This will make all of your contacts GOOGLE contacts, and then they will be fully editable.

I personally am opting to wait a few months for this to happen on its own. Google and Facebook are battling right now, but they'll come to a truse and facebook will allow google to get contact information, rather then excluding them and letting other providers do it.

There a few facebook apps, however, that will get the names and birthdays to your google account. From there, you can edit them. But none of them will include email addresses.
[Android Apps and Games] Droff:
You didn't get me. I don't care about Facebook. All I want is an app that I can use to edit a contact to add a birthday or anniversary on a phone. Standard contact manager on the phone only allows me to add an extra field (like a note). I can put something like this "birthday: 01/01/2001" in that field, and it will sync this info with my google account. The problem is that somehow that custom note field is not formated correctly and that birthday date does not show up automatically in Google's "Contact's birthdays and anniversaries" calendar.

If I enter the birthday date through Gmail on my PC, then date does show up automatically in that calendar.

So what I want has nothing to do with facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] dally:
So try "Birthday Reminder GL". It works with gmail contacts in that way.
[Android Apps and Games] Droff:
It does what I want in paid version, but it's a bit too much money for such simple function.

Couple of other apps that I have tried before got updated and now do offer what I need (and they are free).

I'm set! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] dboss007:
Do you mind sharing what apps you're referring to? I'd like to have this functionality as well.
[Android Apps and Games] Droff:
There is a Birthday Manager app, EboBirthday and some other one (forgot the name). Both of those sync the dates with google contacts once you put it in the app. You can also do Anniversary. And those dates do show up in the google calendar "contacts birthdays and anniversaries". That's all that I needed.

This functionality really need to be in the OS itself.
[Android Apps and Games] aSquard:
I'm with the OP - This really needs to be part of the stock Google contacts and be editable from your device. We also need higher clarity contact pictures too!
[Windows Phone 7 General] noelito:
has anyone else noticed that when someone sends you an mms of an animated gif they are frozen and do not work?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i'm pretty sure it's because the phone doesn't work with videos. if you send a picture message, i'm assuming the phone sending/recieving just takes the first frame, not the whole thing. maybe when video support is added to MMS, so will the animated gifs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] noelito:

Voodoo 5 is only for dj05.
[Fascinate General] upsidedownaaron:
Go to android central, samsung fascinate roms and hacks,

Look up "force close loop of hell" and see if that may work for you. I believe it contains a stock image to reflash via odin.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
I bet it was voodoo4.

Flash this in odin.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/test3package.tar

Then reflash DI01.
[Fascinate General] TheShadowMan:
I can't get into CWM let alone recovery at this point. I tried the Force Close Loop of Hell and still no luck. It just constantly tries to wipe and fails.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Then you obviously skipped over most if not all of what I said. Thats part of what landed you in this mess.

Also, I hope your signature is wrong...
[Fascinate General] TheShadowMan:
wow, that's helpful.

Any other advice? I've googled this high and low and no one else seems to have had this kind of problem.

about my sig: different phone, my vibrant is a piece of cake to mod, unlike this jacked up Fascinate.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:

[Fascinate General] TheShadowMan:
I've been trying your methods here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804784

but it won't stay in recovery long enough for me to adb, and nothing I flash seems to stop the loop.
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
forget about recovery mode right now.

Your best bet is to use Odin and flash the tar file that Adrynalyne just linked you to.

Get yourself into download mode (Turn phone off, hold volume down, turn on phone)
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Check up above. I had made a typo. Use Odin to flash that kernel and get back with me asap. You made need to relfash Di01 too.
[Fascinate General] TheShadowMan:
I flashed the test package and then flash DI01. No luck.
[Fascinate General] TheShadowMan:
Not really sure what to do at this point. I rooted the phone while it was on DI01. Then I flashed Blackhole rom with StupidFast kernal. Then I decided to flash voodoo kernal instead. It stated to boot and gave me the voice telling me 3 minues, 2 minutes, then 20 minutes later still no boot. So I disengaged but I had the phone--!--pc logo. So I flashed DI01 via Odin. That's when I got the loop. So I put the disable_lagfix folder in Voodoo on the sdcard and flashed everything I could find and still no fix. I'm out of ideas at this point.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
All I can tell you is that I am looking into it.
[Fascinate General] TheShadowMan:
I do appreciate your help. I'm still looking around for answers myself but I can't find anything about wiping the FOTA, or failing to wipe the FOTA. I'm sure you'll have better luck than me.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
I have a tweet for assistance in to the main Voodoo dev, supercurio. Havent heard back yet.

In the meantime,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788099

Try flashing cwmrecovery.tar in odin.

Then if you have an update.zip on your sdcard, you might be able to get into cwm, to wipe data from there.

If you need an update.zip...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip
[Fascinate General] times_infinity:
What adrynalyne said. totally inb4'd me.
[Fascinate General] TheShadowMan:
Thanks adrynalyne, I actually already tried that. I flashed CWMrecovery.tar and I have the update.zip on the card. Still nothing.

This is just really discouraging, ya know? I've modded and remodded, flashed and reflashed my Vibrant a hundred times, but the first day with a Fascinate and its already a $500 paperweight.

It took them this long to get FroYo out on ANY versions of Galaxy S hardware, we're all still on test builds... and they have Gingerbread running on the Nexus S... which is a freaking Galaxy S with a curved glass screen and NFC, a NEW piece of hardware.

So, Samsung is launch partner for Nexus S, first manufacturer with hands on Gingerbread, top in sales this year for Android, and spending millions to upgrade their phones...

Anyone wanna tell me why the f all Galaxy S phones aren't getting upgraded straight to gingerbread, before any of the other phones have a chance? Seems like they missed a boneheadedly obvious way to stage a coup on the hearts and minds of us loyal fans. Freaking Public Relations FAIL.
[Epic 4G General] trevorwhopkins:
And I'll probably get flamed for this, and probably correctly, but just figured I'll be honest:

Last week I sold my epic and went back to Verizon, and got the Incredible. I miss the 4" screen, the ease of typing, the 4g, and the ability to easily wow people. And the Dinc's camera isn't as good.

But I don't regret it. I feel like my GS time was that of a first adopter. I paid for the wow. Since going back to DInc, I don't have as much wow time, but you know what? My GPS works as soon as I open GMaps. I don't need a hack to fix anything. My battery is only 1300mah, and doesnt last all day, but it never freaks out and drains while its asleep, or drains in two hours.

If this sounds like a rant, it's not. I loved the Epic, and the Vibrant I had first. The screen is amazing, and I waited since the HD2 for a phone bigger than 3.7 but smaller than 4.3. Samsung just needs to step up its validation, and it's support systems. The legion of Iphone fans aren't going to stick with any phone that doesn't just work.
