[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genesxx:
I am extremely new at all of this but have been reading this forum for a while. I am unable to find the answer that will fix my problem so any and all of your help will be appreciated.

I flashed the latest version of Axura on my stock + rooted vibrant using CWM. I had used titanium back up prior to flashing. After Axura was installed I used titanium back up to restore all apps and system data and found that my phone had become very slow and wasnt getting email, text notifications. I decided it would be best to go back to stock. I did so by going into CWM recovery (volume up +down + power) and did restore to what I thought was the ROM that was backed up before I flashed. The recovery screen showed that it was recovering various components (took about 10 minutes) and the phone re booted on its own but now it will not go past a black locked screen. THe date and time are shown correctly but the phone keeps flashing the same screen every 30 seconds and with vibration. I did go back into cwm recovery and disabled vodoo lag fix, but that did not help it either.

Is my only option to flash stock thru ODIN? Or can I use something in the CWM recovery screen to bring my phone back to life? Please help.

Hey guys long time no see. im usually in the Android Kiaser section, but I got a different question for today. A good friend of mines recently got a old computer. It had a lot of viruses on it and I cleaned them out. Once I was done with that, I had her o/s up and it was running a lot faster than before.

Anyway, she wanted to use her Optimus T as a modem because she doesnt have internet connection or DSL in her house. She is a genius and all, so she picks up stuff very fast . especially in IT and computers .

Well she followed the tethering instructions for XP and downloaded it to her phone. She then hooked it up to her computer and when we searched for the file, it was there but it could not be launched.

Now I advised eher to come here and ask you guys for help, but she is very prideful and wants to figure it out on her own. Now if this were a simple hardwre issue no problem . but since this is a networking issue , and well you guys are far more experienced in these matters, I was wondering if theren were a special program she needed or something like that for her computer to properly launch the program needed for her phone to go online
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Icemaine:
Well I used to be in the same boat With the internet. Although It wasn't a smartphone. The solution i came up with after days of trying was the phone in question needed an initialization command pointing to the apn of the phone. This was accomplished with no special software just windows built in capability, on a standard sp 2 machine. I would try my optimus but i have win 7 x64. Anyway not sure whether it helps or not but the proper initialization command would be something like AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”epc.tmobile.com” the number to dial should be " *99# "

The post below me is also good. It is usb network instead of modem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] smart2smart:
You basically have two options to go about doing this. Switch on Data on your phone ..

1. Connect the phone via the USB cable and select the LG PC suite application, under Tools there is a option of Internet connection using Phone.

OR

2. Connect the phone via the USB cable, do not run the LG suite, instead on the phone in Settings -> Wifi & networks Use the portability and tethering option. The first option is USB tethering, the second is Wifi. Just select the USB one. THis will create a local network between the phone and computer and allow you to access the internet ...

Cheers !
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rikux:
..Well third option is to use P500 as a bluetooth modem to access Internet.

You have to pair the devices and use bluetooth dialup profile. This post is sent that way from my Compaq nx8220 laptop

[Galaxy S I9000 General] DvTonder:
Thought I would share this here.

My replacement i9000m arrived via purolator this morning. I turned it on and signed in with my google account to start installing apps and suddenly the phone pressed the back button by itself. Every 5 - 10 seconds the lights come on, the haptic feedback buzzes and the back button presses itself.

On the phone with Bell now and they are trying to convince me to pay for an early hardware upgrade for my phone (yes you read that right, pay!) so they can switch me to a different device. I am on the 3rd level of escalation now, waiting on hold.

This is REDICULOUS!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
give em hell
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DvTonder:
5th replacement device has been ordered, on its way to me. Will have to wait another 3 - 5 business days. Maybe 5th time lucky??

Bell offered to rebate 3 months payment of my base plan as compensation - essentially another $150 on top of the $100 rebate I got last week. They are saying the problem is a hardware provider problem (samsung), not a network provider problem but they are still giving me the rebate.

At least now I dont care any more - my original SGS cost me just over $200, I got my money back. If the next one fails at least I am not out of pocket.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
wow... this is crazy... Bell wants you to pay to "upgrade" the phone, they gotta be insane >.>

as if they think they can offer you a better phone, LOL :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
There are lots of threads covering this, Bell should at the minimum offer a free replacement and usually $100 compensation.

Just elevate to managers and give em a hard time until they do what they are supposed to. I've had equally hellish experiences with AT&T in the sates :)

:knock on wood: that my i9000m doesn't fail
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if it fails, just find a Canadian fella to help you send in the phone for repair
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
Can an informed person contrast these 2 roms for me please
[Fascinate General] ilogik:
I am not informed but I can tell you dl09 broke my GPS. It takes 10 minutes to get a sporadic lock. I had to revert to dj05 in order to fix it.
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
I'm curious too. So far, I haven't really seen anything, so I haven't upgraded.
[Fascinate General] voghan:
I've been running it for a week now. Looks like the GPS doesn't lock as fast anymore compared with DJ05. It also currently has me on the wrong side of the freeway by my office so it's not that pinpoint accurate either. I think the WiFi is faster & stronger on DL09 than DJ05. It's probably not worth making the jump to DL09 but I'm not going to revert to DJ05.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Dj 05 works better...everything works on it. Dl 09 not so much...
[Fascinate General] onemotodroid:
Radio DL09 gps did not lock as fast wifi about the same on each.

Move back to dj05 working great for me.
[Fascinate General] hkseo100:
For me, I noticed tremendous increase of battery life with DL09
[Fascinate General] voghan:
You are correct. After 8 hours I'm at 72% battery remaining. I think it's because of the under volted kernel.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
I am starting to not believe that undervolted kernels actually do not save any battery.

I've noticed this pattern with all of the kernels that claim undervolting.

But if what you're saying is true, you can run Adrynalyne's kernel with DJ05 and get better battery life.

I think that's what I'm running. I'm also running a Gingerbread Theme which displays everything black when possible thus reducing battery consumption from the screen, but my phone is still sucking for battery life.

2cents.
[Fascinate General] J Shed:
Do you mean you don't believe they do save battery?

I had a UV kernel on my phone for a little while, and there WERE noticeable gains in battery life. It wasn't anything crazy, but running the same programs and the same activity over an 8-9 hour span (sitting at work), I had more battery left at the end of the day with a UV kernel than I did running a normal one.

I didn't really pay much attention to it until I forgot to charge my phone on my way to practice one night. Phone would usually be *****ing to be charged, but it was doing good.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I have been running a lot of different UV kernels over the past few weeks, and there is a point where you go from the UV helping your battery and it hurting battery life. From my testing, as the size of the UV increases, the processor will reach a point where it can keep up at a given clock speed and will then move up as needed. It will get to a point where it's staying at 400/800 clock speeds more often than the 100/200 clock speeds, and the effect is negated.

I'm sure this point is going to be different on all phones, but for my phone is somewhere around a -100mV drop from stock voltages. It will help your battery when sleeping since your phone isn't doing anything, it will use even less power, but as soon as it tries to do something again, the battery life will tank. I also used PowerTutor to look at the usage trend for the CPU, and the system was using more power on average for some larger mV drops. I also started to notice lag as the drops increased, likely due to the processor being unable to keep up.

At the moment, I'm trying to see how a big drop on just the lowest clock speed, and then less of a drop on 200-1000 does. I also made a few adjustments to the scaling factors to help reduce lag at 100/200mhz and keep it in the lowest possible clock speed when running. So far, it seems somewhat promising, though I've only been running my current test for a few hours.
[Fascinate General] iofthestorm:
Voltage has nothing to do with how much work the processor can do in a clock cycle. Higher voltages allow faster clock speeds, but the voltage itself doesn't matter if the circuit is synchronized (i.e. has a clock). It's just more likely that you won't be able to run at a given clock speed with a lower voltage, but that will just cause glitches and instability, not less work being done and needing to run at a higher speed.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
I realize that it shouldn't matter, but it did. I'm guessing that the lower voltage preventing the CPU from running at the actual clock speed, causing it to high the usage threshold sooner. I could barely keep the phone at 100mhz after restarting with just SetCPU running in the foreground. I didn't look into what was happening much because the battery drain was pretty bad, so I went on to a new test.
[Fascinate General] johnnyv5:
Also DL09 is officially supported by vzw....

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
A stickied folder for Help and Troubleshooting for both apps and themes? Or each their own? Please be gentle. Since so many people are using different builds, just wondering.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
lol guess not!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
The problem is people don't use them. There are existing threads that were written to explain how to install, etc. You can go through any one of the rom threads and see the same questions asked over and over and over. I have stopped answering the blatant "I didn't even try to figure it out" kind of questions. You want to play with this stuff I feel you need to put in the effort to figure out how it works before you do something. And how to fix it when you inevitably break it. Freaking out when your tablet bootloops and then just asking the same stupid questions again, and again really does get annoying... The major issues that you can run into have been solved, and answered in numerous locations, numerous times. You just have to look for it!

That is done by reading! A lot of reading... I answer a lot of questions. But rarely ever ask one. Why? Because 9 times out of 10 the same question has already been answered. You just have to learn to use the search button at the top of the page.. Or search Google for the subject. This tablet is not really that much different from any Android phone and a lot of the info applies.

If you are not willing to try to help yourself maybe an Ipad is a better fit.

So, if you want to write an FAQ have fun. Maybe people will use it. But I wouldn't really get my hopes up that it will stop the people that won't read, are illiterate, lazy, whatever the excuse is from asking the same thing over, and over...
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
I agree with you 100%. I was just wondering if a mod could make a sub folder. But like you said I'm not sure everyone would use it. I appreciate the response.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] anjenaire:
I have found that I can't search while using the G-Tablet's browser on XDA Forums. Not an excuse for not going to one's PC and searching but perhaps a root cause of so much repitition on the forum.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
Most of the questions I see that repeat are the questions where someone no longer has use of there tablet because it has bootlooped, or some other evil thing. So they must have had use of a PC to ask the question. I think it is more a lack of patience, OMG! my tablet is dead and the sky is going to fall kind of thing.

Take a breath, slow down for a minute. The world won't stop spinning because your tablet froze. Take some time and read! And like magic... The answer will likely pop up from a number of different threads.

I really do understand the mentality.. It is a part of life today. Instant gratification without having to put any effort into anything. Maybe it is just because I am older but I was raised in a generation where asking a question normally got answered with a question! Like did you look in the book? Did you try and figure it out for yourself? Did you do anything to help yourself before you asked the question? And then it may have been answered with a big slap in the head!

I have always tried to look at things as if I am stranded on an Island in the middle of the Ocean. The ONLY way to get off the Island is to figure out a solution.. And unbelievably every manual ever made just happens to be on that Island. Well, I'm gonna get off that Island. I'm going to take the time to read.

With the use of the elusive button we call "Search" you too can have every manual ever made! Or at least have most of your answers.. And you too can get off the Island!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
I was more or less asking if those questions could be moved to an isolated area lol, I use the search function. But sometimes the meat can get covered up by the potatoes so to speak.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
once again thank you for the quick reply.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sprdtyf350:
I know.. For some reason my fingers just felt like typing. I will quit now:)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sixvoltsystem:
LOL hey no worries. It needed to be said, and I agree.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jimcpl:
It's not just w default browser... other browsers same problem. Instead click the Search button, then click the Advanced Search link.

Jim
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MikeM:
I agree, for some reason on this site when I search I come up empty almost every time. Not sure what I am doing wrong, using MS Explorer. On some of the other forums I use the search function works fine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mroneeyedboh:
Well after seeing the other member post up 23 bucks shipped for the cyclops, I was out to see if I could find it cheaper and well I did

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180599646704

Do the best offer and it will accept automatically 20.00 as the best offer. Now someone may want to see if they can get it lower or not. Post up if you do.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
So I've been pulling out my hair due to a specific issue I was having with a work place router.

Some days I'd come in and my wireless would connect, other times the connection would fail on "Obtaining an IP Address". This never happened on stock or other people's phones, which seemed strange to me. I finally got a chance to dig into this.

According to LogCat, the dhcpcd service was ignoring messages due to an invalid server id. While technically this is the router's fault, I'm not able to replace it myself, (like I said this is a work place router). Looking at the dhcpcd included with my ROM it appears to be 4.0.15. So I went hunting down dhcpcd.

Turns out in 4.0.13 they added the stricter checks to dhcpcd:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/dhcpcd/releases

In 5.0 this setting is driven by a conf file, but not in the 4.X.

Stock is using 4.0.1. As root I replaced the /system/bin/dhcpcd (cat /sdcard/dhcpcd > /system/bin/dhcpcd) with the version attached to this post and went forward. The troublesome router connected without an issue, and life is now good. I haven't tried to reboot yet, which may replace the version of dhcpcd that I have.

If you maintain a ROM please do not include dhcpcd 4.0.13 or greater as it causes people grief. dhcpcd 5.* is fine, provided you remove the "requires dhcp_server_identifier" line from the dhcpcd.conf file.

I have this problem on Perception 10.1 (as well as had it with Axura).

The only way I can reproduce what he is talking about is if I don't broadcast the SSID, other then that I never have issues.

That is with my wrt54gl, my E3000 setup that way will connect fine (both have dd-wrt)
[Captivate Android Development] double RL:
Just happy to see that you're sticking with Samsung for your next phone. And are you planning to get the new kernel back up after the problem from the other night. I'm still using the build 11 that you posted. I have not run into problems.

Is it possible that you will ever make a uv version? The bootscreen is keeps me from using GB's as ghey as that may be. Haha!:D

Haven't had a single dropped connection since dropping this in. Awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
Good to hear. I had to think about why this works for you as you're just changing the dhcp client. If the dhcp server has a short lease time, and is implemented badly that might explain why you were getting dropped.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Kudos to GB for finding this, and to DG for being right on-top of things, noticing, and making use of it.

Can't wait to see what you have in-store for the next Perception. :)

Thank you so much, I've been having intermittent Wifi issues the past few months and this finally fixed it.

I've tried this on Cog 3.01 and unfortunately, my issues remain. Randomly does not reconnect to wireless APs without disabling and re-enabling wireless.

Run logcat when the connection is failing to connect and see if there's any messages, it might point to a root cause.

I believe I'm having some similar problem (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10863252#post10863252).

This is the log from LogCat: http://pastie.org/1495314.

Do you think you can help me? I have replaced dhcpcd with the one you provided with not luck. I really don't understand why I can't even simply unpack my system.img and repack it right away without breaking WiFi. Can the ROM have some checksum verification to tell if it's the original?
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
look at line 431:

I//system/bin/dhcpcd( 708): dhcpcd: unknown option --

It is likely that your rom is sending specific options that are being lost on the older version. Thus the DHCP Client Daemon isn't working properly and you're getting a failure to connect. You may have had the 5.X series of DHCPCD which requires a config file change rather than a downgrade to ignore bad routers.
[Captivate Android Development] bgcngm:
Thanks for the reply Guardian_Bob. I did saw that line and that's why I asked for your help. But do you have any explanation for the fact that DHCP doesn't work even when I just unpack and repack system.img (without changing absolutely nothing in system sctructure).
[Captivate Android Development] tikidroid:
DG,

I have been having this issue since Cog 2.xbeta. I recently upgraded to 3.2 and been having the same issue other than that the ROM is super smooth.

Glad to see that you got to the bottom of it. Hope its fixed in a future release.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
The network driver scripts are expecting a different version which is not compatible with the version you have.

If I were you, I'd talk with whomever maintained the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] bgcngm:
But then how can someone explain that the official ROM works just fine? In the same router, official ROM works fine. If I just unpack system.img and repack it right away, WiFi is broken.

This ROM is for a chinese clone, so I was trying now to maintain the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] j101399j:
You are amazing, the onlytwo routers in the world I could not connect to was my Verizon FIOS router and my friends Verizon FIOS router. Dropped this in, and perfect, even after reboot.

Hi Bob,

I am having issues connecting to wi-fi at work. Its stuck at obtaining IP address.

I have a rooted stock 2.2 froyo. Today the problem started, previously it use to work fine.

And i am trying to replace the file you have provided but i can't find system/bin on phone. Where can i find it? I connected as a USB to my laptop. But don't know where to copy since there is no folder showing system. I found the sd folder, but no system or bin folder.

Do you think its the same issue that came up suddenly? Because it use to work fine till yesterday.

Can you please help me?
