I am quite bummed at this situation. If I can't manage to fix it I will be buying a new one (though I might wait for a price drop.) I've had it for over 30 days so no replacement under warranty. In the meantime does anybody have any thoughts on how I might fix it?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Well how good are you at taking apart things? The back cover is held on by 4 screws that hide under the little rubber covers in each corner. Then you need to release the clips that help hold the back on with a guitar pick, old credit card, something like that. You may have jarred a connection loose inside, or even broken one.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Does it power on at all (red light on front when plugged in), but just doesn't charge the battery?
[G Tablet General] EddyHopper:
It powers on fine, and has about 70% charge. I've seen it drop so I know it is not getting a charge (i was hoping it was just the light.)
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
There's a thread here about disassembling the Gtab, with pics. It sounds like hopefully a connector. Maybe look at the pics, to see how the battery, etc. is connected or ask on that thread.

obtain ip fix?

I ran into this issue today while updating my T mobile vibrant . I attempted to find various work a rounds . I saw one blaming the kernel , one blaming the dhcp list which does not exist for me. In the end I just used a massively complex sequence of tricks that may leave you stupefied by the sheer complexity . I changed my routers name :cool:. I figured if the problem was from something using old data about my router that i can not find. Why not change it's name so it thinks it is a different router ? This worked flawless for me and a few others . It may for someone else too so i posted about it . Thats what the forums are for .

Later .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
Have you guys rebooted the phone?.

That should clear the IP address from the phone.

If the router does not have any issues with other devices, maybe is something wrong with the rom. Maybe you should look for more info in the rom's thread

In the meantime, I tried running `rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin` that seems to be common between a few phones- Droid2, Optimus S, probably others.

It runs but does not give root- the shell disconnects as normal but the phone will no longer show up as a device from 'adb device' or 'adb shell' until you reboot it.

Edit: z4root does work to root it. Install Superuser, run z4root, it will say it rooted while it didn't really work. Run it again and Superuser will ask for root perms. Permanent root function in z4root does not work.

[UTILITY] 1-click Android Flasher(Recovery, splash1, Radio, HBOOT)[V1.5.5](UPD!) - xda-developers

I got an error message and see from one of the posts that you must be in fastboot. How do you get into fastboot, does your phone need to be connected to the computer at that time, and does the phone need to be powered off first?

BTW its an evo 4g rooted with unrevoked3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
To get into fastboot you power your phone off, hold VOL DOWN and POWER till you get to the HBOOT screen. Then you will see an option called fastboot. And yes you need to connect your USB to your computer to send fastboot commands.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caguirr4:
There is an easier way to flash the first splash screen. Download a pc36img.zip from unrevoked.com and rename the image you plan to use to splash1.img and put it into the pc36img.zip replace the one that is in the zip. Then place the zip on the root of the sdcard and boot into the bootloader. It will then ask if you want to update. Just push vol up for yes and voila new splash. This font work for everyone. But it is worth a shot.

My eris no longer recieves SMS messages (sending works) and no longer works for GPS. I toggle GPS on and off and on however maps or navigation or any other app dont connect to it. I have flashed multiple roms to try to solve this and its the same problem with each rom (is something wrong with the hardware). Ive tried KaosFroyo v39, 38, 35, 32 and KaosGingerbread v6. Same problems with all.

Any ideas? Thanks for help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Two things to try:

First, download and install off the market two apps: "APN OnOff" (exactly like that) and "GPS Status".

Run APN OnOff, choose "Show APN list", press Menu and choose "Reset to default". If this doesn't help, let me know and I'll offer another suggestion.

For GPS Status, press Menu and choose Tools and then "Manage A-GPS state". Then press Reset and then Download.

Note that from Menu you can choose Settings then "GPS & Sensors" and from there you can "Auto-download APGS data", and select how often it will automatically download fresh data. Ever since I used this, I have a lot less trouble with the GPS under any ROM with working GPS.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carbon111:
Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the help. APN OnOff did not seem to do anything, nothing is fixed after trying that. GPS status force closes everytime i try to open it so i cant do anything with that.

Any other suggestions?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Try something besides Kaos just to rule out something in KF (I wouldn't base anything on whether things work in KG yet - it's way too early.)

In fact, try xtrSENSE - something close to stock. If that works, it's obviously not the hardware; if you still want to try Froyo, try another Froyo build to see if one of them works better. If it doesn't, you may want to unroot with Flashback21 and bring it to Verizon, to see if they can fix it or will replace the phone.

Are you doing a full data wipe and testing on a clean ROM install when you do all of these installs? Sorry to ask an obvious question, but you didn't mention it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carbon111:
Yes I am doing a clean wipe before i flash each rom. I didnt just switch to kaosfroyo ive been using it for many months and all of a sudden it stopped working. I will try xtrasense to see if that fixes anything. Unrooting and taking to verizon is my backup choice. Is there a link to a thread on how to unroot and return to stock?

Thanks for the help
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
To return back to stock, I'd use the ROM Flashback21, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792026

You should be able to just flash it and it will remove Amon's Recovery and install stock Eris 2.1.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
So far as I can remember, the GPS Status app has worked correctly on every "stable" ROM that I have used (but it has been a while since I had a KF ROM on my phone).

If it doesn't work on a near-stock ROM, that might suggest that you have a hardware problem. I don't know why SMS/1x would be at all related to the GPS issue, though.

I would take doogald's advice - unroot the phone, perform a factory reset (so the phone gets deactivated), and then re-activate it and see if the problems persist. If they do, then your phone is already set up for a return.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kruby:

I used flashback Rom and that fixed my sms problem. Was going to use Xtrasence but couldn'tget my phone to dl it. Had flashback on phone, works great. ReRooted already and going to hang with sence for a wile.

Thanks everyone!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That is an interesting observation. Is this the sequence you used:

- Flashback21

- Factory Reset (to deactivate)

- Activate

- ( manual PRL update w/ *228 ?)

- Verify SMS working using Factory ROM

- Flash custom ROM & verify SMS working there also

I'm wondering (out loud) if what you were experiencing was a problem with an outdated PRL.

What about GPS? Did it start working again as well? I suppose that could also be a PRL issue - for instance if an outdated PRL was preventing aGPS initialization from the carrier.

If you have Nandroid backups of the KF ROMs you were having trouble with, you would be doing the Eris community a service by restoring one of those ROMs and then reporting whether your SMS/GPS service was fixed. (Obviously, you would want to make a Nandroid backup of whatever you have on the phone now, so you could reload it if you want.)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Just out of curiosity, in case you check back on this thread, did you install the Flashback ROM with or without the radio? If so, I wonder if updating the radio was part of the fix.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kruby:
I will nandrestore to Kaos and let you know what it does.

I used flashback without radio, then went through the setup process. Didn't deactivate, just did it like any other flash.

I did not check gps before.

Did not use 778.

Will nand now.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Hmmm, strange. I don't know why that (the procedure you used) would cause a behavior change - unless you were overflashing KF ROMs one over the next (no wipes), and something got messed up along the way.

If that is the case, reloading a (corrupted) KF ROM from a nandroid backup won't prove much - unless you do that and also a fresh (wipe + new install) of the same KF ROM you last used, to prove that the problem had little to do with the ROM itself.

cheers,

Hi

I'm trying to buy an after-market car audio deck/receiver. After having spent a few hours at a car stereo shop, nothing I saw there seemed to work 100% with my Android phone (Samsung Vibrant running 2.2 custom froyo).

My first pick was an Alpine IDA-X303 which is intended for iPhone/iPod but has USB input, so I tried with my Vibrant with no joy either in mass storage or media player mode. The deck doesn't support BT so moved onto the CDE-103BT. On that one, it pairs with BT but supports only phone function and no BT audio. It picked up the Vibrant over USB but reported back "no files" yet I had placed mp3s in root of both internal and external sd. So despite it having USB and BT, it would be down to mic jack. I looked at a few other Alpines and they seemed to all have some sort of brutal shortcoming like these when connected to my Android.

I tried a JVC and the USB worked as expected, although track information didnt get displayed on the deck. And I perused the Sony's but really, I was after an Alpine and ultimately I want BT audio with the USB option just to charge if needed. Nice to have is support for streaming apps eg Grooveshark and Subsonic.

So I thought I would ask fellow XDA'ers: Has anyone had success with their phone over BT audio (or even just USB) with a car deck and not suffered major shortcomings? Can anyone recommend a car deck, Alpine or not, that supports BT audio properly and whether it works for streaming apps or what solutions people have found for running this combo? Whats the best deck out there right now for supporting music on Android?

Thanks!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seaeyes:
The ROM I use (wm6.5, 3.09 driver, M2.5) does not disconnect WiFi when it suspends. It drains the battery very quickly if I forget to turn off wifi. I wanna write a script to make this function (turn off wifi or not when suspending) a configurable choice, and then map to a hardware button.

I searched on web. They said that changing the key "HTCkeepwifionwhenunattended" to 0 can disconnect wifi automatically. Some of them said that this only works before next soft reset. But for me, whenever before or all after reset, it doesn't work at all. No matter the value of this key is 0 or 1, wifi connection is kept alive after suspending.

Any one tell me why? This is common or a special problem to my rom? any other methods to turn off wifi after suspend or some idle time?

Thank you guys a lot!!

For the longest time, I had the opposite problem: I was forever annoyed that the WLAN would automatically disconnect every time I turned the device off.

then you try to use ACT v3.3 :):)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seaeyes:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Hakim Rahman:
you try to change the setting from the ACT v3.3 :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seaeyes:
I find the place. It's in ACT's menu->more settings, uncheck "keep wifi on when standby". However, it still doesn't work...

Probably this setting just modifies "HTCkeepwifionwhenunattended" in the registry， which seems not make any difference in my system.

I'm going crazy...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] seaeyes:
I finally find the reason. That's because this ROM doesn't use the default wifi switch interface. It wrote its own .exe program to turn on and off the wifi, maybe by which it bypasses the registry tweaks.

By using the system wifi switches, the modification of registry works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Hakim Rahman:
why you don't try Bandswitch...??:confused:

Bandswitch has a function Take control of your connections: Switch between 2G-3G Enable and disable connections. Disabling connections makes imposible to use them so you know they wont generate traffic data. Stablish and close connections. Set a time frame where connections wont be allowed (ie, when you are sleeping) saving money and battery.. Turn off/on Bluetooth and Wifi with or without time limite. When the limit expires then It is set to off state :):)

but if you want to know the registry tweak to disable or enable the wifi connection , like here HKLM\COMM\TNETWLN1\Parms\dot11SupportedRateMask = 1 (DWORD decimal) is enabled

In advanced config app,under the Network sub category you will find "Wi-fi auto off timeout".Set the time as per your requirements.
