[Streak 5 General] Philip:
Now that the Android SMS bug is being reported in the mainstream (see, for example, this story on the BBC or this one on The Register), has anybody experienced it on their Streak?

I'm curious as to how any fix would be distributed, given that it would have to go through Google, Dell and the Network Operators before making it onto our devices, and we know how long all that can take!
[Streak 5 General] cameronmfjay:
Its a scary one lol. Id like to know as well.
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Not exactly missmatched outgoing SMS rather screwed up timelines when I receive text internationally, across a few time zones and not when I text within the same country whether within same or across different operators...
[Streak 5 General] cheetah2k:
I've not had any issues on 318, and I SMS about 85-100 times a day.
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
I also use stock froyo. Only happened when texting cross Atlantic, didn't happened within texting cross europe or middle east... will test out when I text again to mate in Peru... could be simply the network timing on one side is screwed up as well... and since it happened only for the text I received I rather believe it is network stamp issue rather than android specific...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddoug215:
I have a couple of questions

1. i rooted my phone but now how do I delete the unwanted sprint applications?

2. Are the roms just different cool ways to set up your phone and lay out? Can I just pick any one and down load it from here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kperry1911:
If you wanna keep it simple use Titanium Backup. You can freeze / unistall apps you don't want. Since some apps are needed freezing would be where I would start before attempting to uninstall or delete.

Note: Alot of the custom ROM's remove some of the bloat and they're installed on your SD by default so that you can choose which ones, if any to reinstall.

Good Luck!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sidepart:
Not quite sure how to explain a ROM. I guess one could say it's a tweaked version of the OS? Sure the layout or look may be different, but it's not just a theme modification. ROM makers tend to remove programs, update certain pieces of code to make things perform better or differently, they'll add tools or other software that'll be useful.

For instance, Myn's ROM includes an older APK for Flash, one that'll work with Hulu. It also includes the superuser program which allows you to accept or deny root access to certain programs on the fly. He's also included Wireless Tether and a few other neat goodies. In addition to this, the look and feel have been redone quite well. The ROM also allows you to easily download/apply themes to it if you're not satisfied with the look.

Then there's kernels, which ROMs don't usually touch. ROMs may modify some operating system code, make performance improvements, etc but a kernel modification digs pretty deep into how the hardware on your phone is instructed to operate. Some will lead to better performance and battery life depending on your phone. It's kind of hit or miss as some people don't experience the same benefit that another might with the same kernel and same ROM.

Anyway, have fun.
[G Tablet General] daveinmn:
Greetings,

I just received the brand new VPAD7 and I know that the HW Specs are different, I'm curious how much work it would take to port one of these G-Tablet ROMs to the VPad? Viewsonic seems to have locked this down so tight I can't even use better keyboard on it... Not Cool.

Anyway I've never developed a ROM but if someone want's to teach/try, I'll be the guinea pig with mine.
[G Tablet General] daCalifa:
Did VS abandon the TapnTap skin?
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
We can only hope they did.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
Nothing... The VPAD7 uses a ARM ARM11 600 MHz..... unfortunately your severely limited with that Processor/chipset.... All the work in this forum is for Tegra 2 based processors... the VPAD7 is more like the deformed step sister twice removed...

If you can return it would recommend it - you are just about at the tail end of that machine based on the processor/chipset (not even a 1ghz which is need for many games at least) and get a Galaxy Tab if you need 3G or just wait for the new Galaxy Tab.. Its processor is significantly faster..

If you want a Tegra 2 based 7inch with 3G your going to have to wait.. if dont care about 3G then go with the eLocity A7 (tegra 2 based) BUT its not multitouch so no gaming for you...

There are no good options at this point for 7".... I know.. I have been looking and salivating at this point for a good unit that doesn't sacrifice in the major areas.
[G Tablet General] Alpha06:
You bought a turd (sorry, im just saying what everyone is thinking)

600mhz=meh.
[G Tablet General] vsc:
I played with it at CES yesterday. Get the Dell instead.
[G Tablet General] woneill1701:
The vpad7 is totally unrelated to the gtablet. It is actually closer to the iPhone 4 than anything else - imagine a 7" iPhone 4 running android and you will get the picture.

It is quite nice to play with - almost unadulterated AOSP 2.2.1, responsive despite the slower processor, similar screen density to the gtablet (with better viewing angles - but not anywhere close to IPS or AMOLED, and limited 800*480 resolution).

Installs and plays AB as a direct download from the Market. (Full Market and Gapps as standard.)

Easy to Root - has been available in Europe since November. (ROMs available at MODACO.)

It IS a phone - full telephone capabilities with gsm and 3G available on AT&T (EDGE on T-Mobile).

All in all, this is a phone with a 7" screen: much more usable than my 4" regular phone, but not an iPad/Gtablet alternative...
[G Tablet General] daveinmn:
I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I'm using it mostly for work and for that it's fabulous. For 3G I just Hot Spot it to my phone when needed. It actually maintains a better signal than my T-Mobile phone, works great as a HANDS Free phone as well. I was really looking for a way to get it onto the 3G Network, currently it will only do Edge. Angry Birds runs fine as long as its the ONLY thing running. But that and Solitaire are the only games I have on it. Continually moving the SIM Card is a pain. :D
[G Tablet General] Mikeg1969:
I wonder if the ro fingerprint could be pulled from it to gain a true full market on the Gtab. Also wondering if the Vending/Market APK would provide a market on the Gtab that would display properly (not cutting off the stars)? Any ideas from someone a bit smarter than me in all this or would it not work because of the 600 mhz vs tegra 2 difference?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerp_:
I have just recently found out and realize that below is happening to me.

"Notification bar icons (Wi-Fi, network coverage bars, etc.): Turn green when you have an uninhibited connection to Google, white when you don't. Hint: if you're in a hotel or airport using Wi-Fi, the bars won't turn green until you launch the browser and get past the captive portal."

quoted from http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/some-cool-android-tips-and-tricks.html

when the phone is put to sleep, it often turn white. meaning it got disconnected from google services.

this also resulted to not receiving any push notification (especially on gmail).

when i turn it on again, it will then try to connect to google services and after a while, you will see that the signal bar turn green again.

then only suddenly you receive all the missed notification (this includes gtalk).

anyone has experience similar issue?

(note, i am testing this on mobile data only). going to try it on wifi later.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absolutnick:
Hi all,

I am a bit confused about the process that i need to follow to gain root access and also convert my filesystem to ext4 and the order i need to do the two.

Could someone form a simple noob guide of how to do the above?

Or should i wait for the 1-click root and custom roms...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnatex21:
There isn't a simple way and I doubt if there will ever be a 1 click root.

The easiest way to learn, IMHO, is to start with SDE.

Download the AOS file from archos - http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates.html?country=us&lang=en

Read the instructions - (boot into recovery, update firmware, plug archos into PC, copy AOS file, ect...)

Install SDE

Once you see the recovery, look into the menus and get comfortable with it, you should try Dogma's perm root and kernel. Then a next step would be to OC with ardat's kernel. Then you can try to learn Linux and $aur0n's method...

...all IMHO of course.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kashban:
I don't fully agree. There are several Steps in the Process which can be scripted. One would be a Script to partition and preload your sd card for being used in the Archos, including copying rootfs and some Help to move your Data Partition.

Probably SDE is a must for Permanent Root forever, so everyone intending to root his Device has to go through that Process, as well as flashing custom Kernels.

$auron is making good Progress on enhancing his Rom and making it more flexible and customizable. Probably someday there will be a Preferences App to change the Behaviour of the Rom.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caseym:
I am confused also. I've read through just about every post in this forum and the one thing that I can't get a clear answer on is, do I have to have an sdcard to load the UrukDroid stuff? Or can it be done on my internal storage? I've tried going through the instructions and I cannot get the sdcard partitioned and formatted correctly.

And what does "permanent root" mean? Does that just mean you've installed the SDE and a new kernel and removed the default Archos kernel so that it always boots the SDE kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mloc33:
I`m going to try and flash this ROM...

file:///C:/Users/Colm/Desktop/[ROM]%20[04.01.2011]%20Darky's%20v8.0%20Gingerbread%20Edition%20%E2%98%85%20JPY%20%E2%98%85%20%20%20Darky's%20&%20R64's%20Finest.%20-%20xda-developers.htm

I want to make sure I`m doing it right, I am rooted and applied OCLF, from what I`ve read I`m supposed to un-install/disable OCLF, install ROM manager and apply CWM, flash into recovery, factory data wipe, also wipe cache, ( I want to start from scratch ) select the update (CWM), then the ROM and then let it do its thing?

I`m on stock everything, just rooted and OCLF, I`ve read through Darky`s instructions, I`m to assume I just follow them regardless what I have on my phone.

I`d love some confirmation on this, just to be sure, nearly forgot, I have SGS i9000, thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
You seem to have it right.

What version of Android are you running right now? If it's 2.2, you'll likely need to "fix" your recovery mode. You want recovery 2e (if you get into recovery mode, you'll notice a 2e or 3e in the top of the screen). 3e won't let you run unsigned files like you'll need to in order to install Darky's or another ROM.

If you need the fix this, flash any of the kernels in the dev forum (for example, I have flashed SpeedMod).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mloc33:
I`m on 2.1, stock, so I`m good to go then?

One other question, does it matter how I rooted my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
Looks like you're good to go so long as you're sure the lag fix is disabled. The source of root doesn't matter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mloc33:
I`m trying to figure out how to disable it now, do I just un-install it or what?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg2:
Sorry, I'm not familiar with OCLF and can't offer any (credible) advice. I'm sure there's a thread somewhere discussing the topic and will offer instructions.

[Captivate General] ejmeier1:
We all know that the captivate's gps is not what it should be, but I've always been able to at least get it to see a few satellites, and eventually get a quasi lock.

But now, I tried an experiment where I would leave my gps on 24/7 to see if that would help keep it warmed up, but ever since I left it on for about two days, the gps seems COMPLETELY DEAD. I mean, no satellites, no signal, nothing. I run the gps status program to see what its doing, and now there's no activity at all.

Has this ever happened to anyone else before?
[Captivate General] CHorden:
I have attached the GPS fix that worked for me.

1. Grab the attachment below, and store on your SD.

2. In your Dialer enter the following: *#*#1472365#*#* (or use SGS Tools)

3. Select "Delete GPS Data"

4. Reboot into recovery and install the .zip. Reboot.

5. Once your device boots back up, you should be in good shape.

For further tweaking, you can also change the SUPL/CP Settings to the ones found here.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garrylufc:
How broke is it? If its just unresponsive then take it to the shop and they will send it away. If its smashed then your insurance will cover it. How do they know when it happened?

My touch screen went and I took it to Vodafone who in turn sent it to HTC and they couldn't fix it so they sent me a new phone. You are on a contract and you pay insurance. They have to help you. It's in your contract. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoro8500:
well the phone works and i can see everything on the screen but i cant do anything cuz touch doesnt work. my contract is with t-mobile and i went to the shop today and they said it might cost me around £120. my insurance company already rejected the claim cuz apparently they state in their terms and conditions that i had to report it within 24hours.

i wish if there is a shop where i can give them the touch screen and they can fit it for me :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garrylufc:
How long have you had the phone? Mine was a year old when I took it in. Go to another t mobile store give it to them, tell them you don't know what's wrong with it. They will take it off you and send it away. Or ring them and explain. They won't want to loose a valued customer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoro8500:
it will be a year by the end of this month and my contract finishes in july. if i take it to t-mobile, they gonna see the screen is cracked and send it to repair then give me a quote for over £100 which is abit too much if iam honest
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garrylufc:
You didn't say the screen was cracked. Surely the insurance should cover accidental damage. If it doesn't what's the point of it. I've had my Hd2 for 14 months now and still love it. Cancel the insurance and put the money towards getting the beautiful machine fixed. Don't do it yourself because I've known people who know more than me and you to fook it badly. Good luck. Ps. Get the desire hd in July:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben_duder:
Have you considered calling your insurance and (while praying that you don't get put on to the same person you had last time) saying that you cracked the screen an hour ago? This 24 hour rule seems ridiculous.

But yeah, only replace digitizers if you feel confident that you know what you're doing. I've done it for about 6 different phones and iPods, and I'd say that for 3 of those I've ended up having to buy more parts I wasn't expecting to pay for just because I made a tiny mistake.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoro8500:
well i suppose i can ring them to say i have broken my phone and would like to claim and i just have to fill in the claim sheet and all that. surely their system will recognise that i already had a rejected claim about a month ago loooool right ??

how about i buy the digitizer and u do it for me, i'll give u a good price if u fit it and i live in london.

cheers guy for all the replies
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben_duder:
If you actually made a claim then yeah, I guess you're right. Haha... I don't know. I've stopped with these things recently because I've been so busy, and I hate working on things that aren't my own in case I break something. I was considering buying a cracked HD2 and fixing it up for myself a while ago but the soldering put me off, it's all just a bit too fiddly.
