[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronz_Most:
Hello,

I own an HTC Desire Z (Europe), have root, and recently managed to get S-OFF with gfree 0.02 (at least that's what it says when I'm in the bootloader)

I downloaded ROM Manager, made the mandatory back-up, and thought I'd try out a custom ROM, see what all the fuss is about. :D

I got the .zip file, placed it in the root of my SD-card (still zipped ofcourse), installed it, but it got stuck and was constantly looping the CyanogenMod animation from the beginning..:confused:

Sooo I restored, relieved but also dissapointed..

Any idea as to what the problem was / what I can do about it?

Please keep in mind that I'm quite the n00b, thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
How long have you kept it running?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Did you install it from ROM Manager ? Did you wipe the phone from there before flashing ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronz_Most:
No, I got it from the CM website, under stable Mods. I did not wipe the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
That's your problem. You ALWAYS wipe when going to a new ROM, and since you're going to CyanogenMod, don't forget to flash the GAPPS .zip file.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronz_Most:
Oh okay, thanks!

And I would flash this GAPPS file in the same way I flashed CM?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
1) Root. The "rage" method is recommended.

2) Wipe.

3) Flash Cyanogenmod.

4) Flash Gapps (yes, the same way).

5) OPTIONAL: Flash a theme.

6) Enjoy root.
[Epic 4G General] Nicolasmj:
does anyone know what the ports are under the battery case: R1, R2/g, W1, W2

I figured they may be the antennas ....just not sure which is which.

trying to boost my reception and hoping one is for that.

thanks
[Epic 4G General] joshottley:
Don't plug anything in them. The last time I did that it stopped the antenna from working unless something was in there.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
They are antenna extentions. Wifi, 1x, 3g wimax radios
[Epic 4G General] ranchosteve:
any body know where to get an antenna to fit the port's?
[Epic 4G General] autoprime:
also interested in this... looking to extend wimax range.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Best guess would be radio shack or best buy. I had a quasimo(sp?) Laptop for a few weeks that had a port like this, came with an external antenna...clipped right on. Didn't help -much- with wifi, id assume the same for other bands. Sold the laptop or id try my self.

Also someone said in this or another thread about the ports that they tried an antenna and they couldn't get signal back after disconnecting.
[Epic 4G General] autoprime:
are you referring to the 2nd post in this thread.. or did someone else besides that person claim the signal didnt work?

not sure why the signal wouldnt work unless they used the wrong adaptor.. or broke the fitting.

id assume id need a special 2.6ghz antenna since id want this for wimax? and i guess just try each port to see which gives me better signal? is there a diagram anywhere thatd say what each port was for?
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
My guess is that they are voltage testing points for q/c.
[Epic 4G General] autoprime:
yeah i kinda thought that as well.. either testing point or antenna.. wish i knew for sure. kinda weird there'd be 4 testing points tho? and still left on the device for production? idk..

anyone know for sure?

i wanna put a giant wimax antenna outside my house and connect it to the phone :D
[Epic 4G General] joshottley:
Nah aparently there's a switch in some of those that disables the internal antenna to use th external one. It was on an exclaim tho so I might be wrong.

I cant open the marketplace or Zune items on my phone, they goto the loading screen with the balls going across the centre of the screen then it just goes back to the home screen.....

Just do a Soft Reset.

That will fix your problem. Seems to be a known Problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
Is it possible to have a pop up menu made available like it is for the Wi-Fi settings under the Mobile Network Settings...an advance menu..so a person could have the Data Network become inactive when the screen goes off ?

The reason I ask is this would allow those who choose to have their phones remain on all the time only have this active when the screen was on if they wanted set up this way. I believe having this option be made available would increase battery life...since so much battery draw can be used for the cell standby and it's constant searching for the best tower to give the best reception for data..

Thanks You

Most extra apps do...and it's for this reason I am asking if this can be included in any of the roms out there..It would make more sense to me to have the option to be able to schedule this within the system..than relying on a application to control it.I know Gingerbread is going to be able to manage things better..but even with it's new task managing improvement..this would be a nice feature to have...

It would be nice but juice defender has many options to schedule data and does allow programs to sync. It may be an ongoing background process but it doesn't keep the cpu from sleeping too much. It works pretty well.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickgeorge:
Hi,

Desire HD, rooted and S-OFF, with LeeDroid 1.1 & CWMOD recovery. Got up last weekend, phone plugged in and at CWMOD recovery screen, not too worried, happened before when charging up phone while powered off....

This time though, phone repeatedly booted into safe mode, pressing the home key caused phone to vibrate and volume down key no longer worked.

Eventually got back to a stock rom through flashing via fastboot. Couldn't install via CWMOD (just returned back to recovery screen, no error messages) and couldn't push a recovery image through ADB (kept receiving error message - "remote not allowed") and encountered a few other issues along the way (can't remember much detail now...) that made me think perhaps there were some r/w permission issues somewhere?

However, the volume down key still doesn't work (I've seen a few posts on tinterwebnet relating to similar problems with HTC devices, but no solutions anywhere...)

Couple of questions...

If I've flashed back a stock RUU, is the phone completely back to factory defaults in _all_ respects. i.e. is it definitely a hardware fault? or are there other, underlying areas where a software config may still be causing this issue?

This is my current config, is it as HTC will expect if and when they get the phone back for repair?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darktranquility18:
Aite Ive got two samsung vibrants. Bought them both new. Did the exact same thing on both to unlock them and make em work on AT&T.

One works perfect. The other one just says No service no matter what i do. I tried selecting the network manually but it says sim card doesnt support the network.

Next I tried the odin method to put the stock firmware back on. Rooted. Since my unlock codes werent present on my phone, i used the repair_nv_data fix to try and manually set the unlock code(what i did for the other vibrant), but still no luck. Still says no service when i put the sim in. Weird thing is data kinda works. It says no service but the 3G/EDGE icon keeps popping up and disappearing.

Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:

[G2 and Desire Z General] chaose:
On the G2, when you take a picture or start a recording, it makes a pretty loud sound. It's pretty annoying for me, so I decided to replace them with silent files. The files still plays when you take a picture or record a video, but since it's silent nothing can be heard.

I have this working for stock and enom's rom. Not sure if it works with CM6.1.

I have included the silent files as well as the originals. Obviously you can use whatever sound you want.

camera_click.ogg

VideoRecord.ogg

camera_click-original.ogg

VideoRecord-original.ogg

[*Please suggest if there are better ways of doing this. I'm a total noob at this.*]

to back up original files on G2:

These are the two files on your phone you'll want to back up in case you need to restore them later.

/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

/system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg

adb push camera_click.ogg /data/local/camera_click.ogg

adb push VideoRecord.ogg /data/local/VideoRecord.ogg

adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

# rm /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

# rm /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg

# cp /data/local/camera_click.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

# cp /data/local/VideoRecord.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg

# cd data/local/

# rm camera_click.ogg

# rm VideoRecord.ogg

*I'm not sure if I need to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p25. Can someone clarify?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ralphmrm1:
Thanks - worked for me (froydvillain1.7.1)
[G2 and Desire Z General] OuncE718:
The commands are done through Android Terminal? Also does it matter where I download the zip (root of sd, etc)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
I usually just delete those before I flash a rom. This also works for CM but I think they have different names. +1 for showing everyone how to do it w/ terminal. I wasn't going to because of the implications it [no camera sound] could have. Some countries legally require manufactures to have the sound there for either corporate/government settings dealing with proprietary or sensitive information or to discourage voyeuristic tendencies (you all know what I'm talking about). Just make sure to not get in trouble with it. OP, may want to put some sort of disclaimer in the post dealing with that subject, you know - CYA (google it if you don't know).

And no,

mount -o remount,rw /system

is all that's needed. I've never had to use the other remount line to delete/add to the system. Especially the media folder.

EDIT: I was thinking about this last night and remembered it can be done with Root Exlporer (or any file explorer than can mount /system r/w). Just navigate to those directories, MOVE, not copy, the files somewhere else like your sdcard or the data/local directory. That way you have the originals and the sounds are gone. I'd put an X at the end of the name too just to be safe. I'll post the terminal script for this since it's much shorter than your current method for those that just love using terminal:D.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Proxin:
Great - I was looking for a way to silence that camera shutter sound.

Thanks for this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ryaninc:
Thanks for sharing this! I had been using Tasker to silence all audio whenever the camera app was open, but this is a much more elegant solution. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikedoherty:
Do you happen to know what the sound files are for when you depress the shutter button halfway (which causes the camera to focus in preparation for taking an image, if your device is configured to do that)? That sound is even more annoying than the shutter sound itself. I've poked around in /system/media/audio/ui, but I haven't been able to find the right sound file.

Also, you can just delete the files - it doesn't cause problems if they aren't present.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dustrho:
I would also like to know this one as well, as I haven't figured out where that sound is located either.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikedoherty:
I think it must be baked into the OS somehow, I've played every sound file I could find, and none of them were it. Incredibly ridiculously frustrating.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] neil85ae86:
wrong description

I would not say SDCARD ...sounds like a simple sdcard addon issue which is much smaller deal than saying the phones' internal built-in flash memory is defective.

my 2 cents

Neil
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
Agreed.

Maybe something like "We request that Bell Mobility and Samsung Mobile Canada take immediate action to resolve the many reported problems with the Samsung Galaxy S i9000M made available through Bell Mobility.

- Provide direction on what actions i9000M customers can take to avoid these problems

- Provide i9000M customers a time-line of actions to be taken by Bell and Samsung to resolve root issues

- Take action to reduce the turnaround time customers face when submitting their phones for servicing

- Work together to provide resolution to the many affected customers rather than blaming each other

- Allow customers to suspend their mobile accounts without penalty while phones are submitted for service and/or provide at no cost a "loaner" phone of equivalent functionality

You're asking people to sign in a petitions for hardware failure on the device, you can't expect the failure rate of those who signed to be under 100% can't you?

As for bell reps, they most likely know less about theses phones than any of us here...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Druter:
Guys I am with bell and I wish you the best of luck. I went outside the system and bought a galaxy s i9000, because I knew there was not one Canadian cell company that could be trusted. Bell will most likely simply ignore your petition, because they are all about taking your money, not about giving you service. What you need to do is launch a class action suit. Only with the threat of legal action will bell even take notice. Canadian cell users news to stop rolling over because we meet with resistance, we news to get smart get organized and get mobilized and put the cell companies on notice.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] t1mman:
How is this relevant?

No I don't work at bell, but I work as an IT admins and I know well enough how people tend to blame everything but themselves on many cases, and on many cases, the informations relevant to a case is withold from the users themselves...

My Theorie on the failure rate is basicaly this: Most users don't want to "lose their data" so they don't hardreset the thing and clean the caches up before and after a flash, making it more prone to issues (installing any os as an "upgrade" on top of another OS is always buggy at least).

But since I don't work either at Bell nor samsung, I can't realy test the theory out! And most people won't mention what they've done when servicing a thing... so devs and IT's are left with a lot of questions without any real answers...

And honestly, petitions will most likely get you nowhere... The device is still serviceable and under waranty. And, in Canada, if you have to exchange a device more than X times, your entitled to an exchange or a refund. And any action taken before those are pretty useless IMO.

The best way to help eachothers in XDA would most likely to get the most informations out of users who had the issue, think I might start a thread on this.

It's all in the values /colors.xml when you de-compile it.

Use the attached image and run a Hue/Saturation on it until ypou get the color you want. Then use the dropper tool to get the colors and add those to the colors.xml file in the correct places (Which should be easy since I have the original color codes on it).
