Just throwing this out there. I'm in the camp of people that have had nothing but issues with the last 20 or so nightlies. 3G is a pain, the ROM is just a total mess for me. Getting the latest nightlies every day really doesn't seem to be helping.

I've been factory resetting, cache clearing, dalvik, and battery stats clearing three times each before each ROM (I find closure in wiping flash memory multiple times, some say it's unnecessary) and it still gives me issue.

I did switch back to 6.1.2 and I see my battery is incredible, it's extremely stable and fast. Am I the only one like this?

I realize these are nightlies and they're not supposed to be perfect, but I feel we get lost into gradually believing the updates made nightly are leaps and bounds towards a stable ROM. That takes time.

^If you're coming from a Froyo build & keep having problems try formating the system the partition along with your other wipes before install.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
This is a known issue with the recent nightlies and even 7.0.2 and 7.0.3.

The only temp fix is to toggle airplane mode on and off.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] poontab:
^What is a known issue?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] kalala:
The 3G going out after calls.

I have widgets that constantly update and if they want to update while I'm on a call, I have to load up the app the widget is for and then refresh the info. there. Otherwise, the widget will continue to say "no network connection" or something like that. I don't like dealing with that.

Not to mention battery life was horrible. Whether I used my phone at all or not, it was always 5% by 6 or 7 PM. This FroYo build has been much better with the same Slayher kernel.

Where is the market app? I looked in all the gapps and found no market app. How do i go about getting the market app again?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
Use ROM manager to flash Gapps. This way you are guaranteed it is the latest.

Yesterday I kinda jumped ship from the nightliies, the consistent WPA wifi problems didn't blend well with the networks I used. Jumped on board with Chevyno1's Simply Stunning 5.4, gotta say it runs slicker and fixed all the issues I was having with the nightlies.

That being said, I miss hitting update each day multiple times to see what is out there!

Hey guys,

I'm in the process of writing my first android app and something really strange is happening. I'm using a TabletLayout with the first two rows have spinners. On the third row, however I have an EditText box. Now, whenever I type in the text box, the spinners start to move in unison to the right. I have no idea what could be causing this and I don't even know where to look so I'd really appreciate your help.

Sorry for the horrible video quality. I didn't want to install video capture software on my work computer(yes, this is for work though this app is totally just to get me familiar with the tools) and I'm running MM's Gingerbread rom on my N1 which doesn't have hd video recording yet.

is it possible to turn off the bluetooth voice dialer without rooting? any aps?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
why do you want to turn off the BT voice commands? it's so useful :)

and the most amazing thing is, it actually recognizes my speech, and executes the proper name to dial, or picks up properly the stuff i want to search, it's amazing!

never had another device that was actually able to recognize the voice properly before
[Desire General] Nitin985:
So I was probably not the only one who got this text 'T-Mobile customers can now cancel they're contract with immediate effect due to changes in T-Mobiles T&C. For more information call Mobile Outlet' I researched a bit and you don't pay but you can cancel your contract, so what phone should I get now I have a £20 pm limit and will keep desire as my main phone ... BEST PHONE EVER !!!!
[Desire General] MadMic:
sweet dude!

If I were you I wouldn't get a contract with a new phone attached I'd get the cheapest data-enabled sim only one you can, that way you should save even more money!!!

Or you could get another desire and sell one of them on ebay and make a killing....
[Desire General] Nitin985:
Might do but I could do with another Android phone to mess around on I'm thinking milestone or maybe Hd2
[Desire General] LooieENG:
what? I didn't get that text :(
[Desire General] leroy:
not so fast!

they have done a U-turn on this now and said that it is only new and upgrading customers that will be affected, so if you havent cancelled yet then it appears you are out of luck as your T&C's are not changing.

http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-support/index?page=home&cat=DATA_CHANGES

the same thing happened to me on Orange and i got the touch HD, then managaed to leave the contract 2 months in, which was nice!

hopefully you managed to cancel, but LOOIE, it looks like you're too late
[Desire General] Nitin985:
I know I called 1 hour late I do use about 500mb so I won't care ... let's all RAM the network so they change it again
[Desire General] leroy:
I think thats our best bet, otherwise when we come to upgrade they will put us on a crappy data package (or fair use as they like to call it)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
After CES, I'm beginning to put some serious thought into LTE and this phone. Dumping AT&T at this point is looking fairly good, as I've loathed their customer service for consistently soft-bricking my older phones due to their inability to properly unlock a phone.

How well does this phone handle roaming, especially in Japan, the UK and Australia? How compatible is the CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev. A. standard? I need to do a lot of travelling to these places and don't want to be short-changed. Does this support UMTS 2100 or international 4G? I plan to use the "buy a prepaid SIM" method.

Or should I be carrying around my unlocked Captivate for roaming?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fightspit:
If you want traveling to Western Europe (like in UK), forget it because GSM rules there. Just notice that the GSM represent 80% of mobile phone market but there is a website you can find the CDMA coverage in the world:

http://www.cdg.org/worldwide/

EDIT: About the 4G, a very very very few countries have it but it can be HSPA+ or WIMAX instead of LTE.

Another website for GSM coverage: http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
So, what you're saying is basically: Tote around the Captivate if I'm going to Europe, use the Thunderbolt for Japan?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fightspit:
In short answer, Yes :)

But you can't use the 4G Lte in Japon because it doesn't exist (yet).

Anyway, there is one carrier available which support the CDMA in Japan according to the website.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aus_Azn:
I do know that KDDI supports CDMA2000 and 1xEV-DO Rev. A on the right bands in Japan, so I'm hoping that it's enough. I don't need data roaming that badly, and if its service is comparable to Verizon's EV-DO service, it's good enough.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
If youre gonna roam, bring along the captivate.

Or, you can get the droid 2 global, but there's no lte in there lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenwtchan:
Sir,

I want to buy Galaxy SII duos. It works with CDMA2000. However, I used to go to Hong Kong. I want to use 3G (i.e. WCDMA). Can I root the ROM so that it can works with WCDMA?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
The whole purpose of this ROM flash is to easily revert back to RFS from the ext4 file system without having to resort to odin. The Froyo DK28 Modem is a prerequisite. Please use a 3 finger salute to enter clockworkmod rather than quickboot recovery before flashing this.

***NOTICE*** THIS TOPIC IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

A new, more reliable ReRFS Format Stock ROM EC05 is available here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904

This is a stock Froyo DK28 odexed ROM, prerooted with some mods. Nothing fancy, but will get you to a trusted Froyo environment without any hassles. This can be flashed from either ClockworkMod versions 2 or 3, and will replace cwm3 with cwm2. It also flashes the stock DK28 kernel. This flash can prove incredibly useful for those experiencing problems during the ext4 conversion process, and those with Macs who don't have access to odin.

Warning: For some people, this hs failed. Symptoms included not being about to mount, umount, or format the stl blocks. The phone wouldn't boot past the samsungmobile.com logo. If this happens, an odin flash will fix it.

Edit: I did perform at least a dozen tests with both Quantom Rom 2.7 and Bonzai4All 1.1.4, using all clockworks. Also coming from both ext4 journaled and nojournaled. I couldn't get it to fail. So if this fails for you, please tell me as much as possible about the situation: was it nonbootable previously? What ROM were you coming from? What file system? Can you adb while the phone is in clockwork and type "mount | grep stl" (without quotes)? What is the output?

Note: This will erase all data, so perform a backup first before flashing. I intend to make another release as soon as I can find a way to reliably secure both a nandroid backup and restore from the script.

Hopefully this will soon be deprecated by a version of ClockworkMod 3 that can format and handle both the ext4 and RFS file systems.

Credits go to:

Noobnl for the original modded stock rom, supercurio for his voodoo lagfix sources that clarified the use of fat.format, and Dameon87 for parts of the Edify script. Noobnl once again for guidance and patience.

Would've helped me the first time I tried to flash (ViperRom..) and booted straight to CWM every time.

[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:

[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:

thanks needed this!
[Epic 4G Android Development] redram38:
Bonsai4All EXT4 1.14 was on RFS used CWM3 to convert. I probl messed up something somewhere. Ended up bricking the phone trying to get back to stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Updated original post with my latest test results... I couldn't get the flash to fail. Please continue to post your results here.

One interesting thing: I was able to use the ReRFS.Format.ROM to get back from a failed bonsai4all 1.1.4 install from cwm2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zdavidi:
I was running DK28 and CWM 2.5.1.0, I updated to CWM 3.0.0.5, and after the 3-finger salute, and the back-up creation, the phone began freezing at the Samsung screen. In my naivety, I removed my SD card from the back of my phone and proceeded to replace all the files on the SD card with the ones I had backed-up (since the install caused an SD card format)

And from there, my phone wouldn't do ANYTHING outside of the CWM 3 menu. I can't update, format, mount/unmount, backup, or restore. I have an original DK28 update.zip that I tried to use, it wouldn't work. I tried installing the Quantum Rom, since it's supposed to be compatible with the CWM3 file-type, no avail. Also tried to use the ROM you provided, everything runs, and it claims it's successful, but it won't boot past the CWM3 menu. And since the phone won't load past the menu, I can't get it into download-mode for an Odin flash. Odin recognizes the phone, but this is what I get:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection.

and it just sits, nothing happens. So, I'm out of options. I've really no clue what I'm doing with this whole Android development thing and I was taking a gamble by even attempting to update it, so I guess it's what I get for meddling where I shouldn't be meddling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zdavidi:
Okay, was able to finally get the phone into download mode, but only for a slit second. And, this was my Odin experience:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/005> Initialzation..

<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/005> param.lfs

<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.

now, the phone won't turn on at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Take out your battery, and while holding down both the 1 key and the power buttons with one hand, replace the battery with the other hand. This should get you back into download mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cobaltikus:
Can you elaborate on the part where said "an odin flash will fix it"?

The only thing I knew how to do with Odin was flash the DK28 modem, which I did, but it did not change my situation - still stuck at the SAMSUNG splash...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Cobaltikus:
I found SPH-D700-DK28-8G-REL.tar.md5 and flashed that and now I'm back in business - **phew**
[Epic 4G Android Development] hpatel:
I tried to flash it through clockwork but got the frozen samsung screen after.

I tried odin but odin needs to have a tar file i believe and this is zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dcowboys2184:
I had that exact same problem when I did that..i was going around asking for help all I was getting im doing something wrong...just don't trust ext4 and cwm3 never did ... I ended up replacing my phone....
[Epic 4G Android Development] usagi111:
As wonderful as this sounds on paper and concept...its not working, will keep a eye out for any updates.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
You gotta download the DK28 Md5 .tar file, then use that in Odin. Put it in the PDA section of Odin. You don't need the modem and pit file when your using the Md5.tar file, as it already has those 2 in it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:

Hi,

I have a HTC Magic (32A)(Rogers) with some custom Hero firmware. Since I bought the phone used with it I don't exactly know what firmware this is, but it's 1.5 Android.

As there is an official 2.1 firmware for the Rogers HTC Magic I would like to that one rather than another custom firmware.

I have installed HTC Sync and the official firmware .exe install. It recognizes the phone to be correct (even though it has a Hero rom on it) and wants to reboot the phone for the install. However that pops up the fastloader with "RUU USB" in orange. None of the buttons allow me to select that or do anything else and after a while the installer just times out.

Do you guys know how I can get around that fastloader issue?

Many thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tass0s:
open fastboot mode(volum down and power) connect phone, and run RUU you are ready
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nilzxx:
Thanks for the reply. Now I just have to figure out how to get fastboot USB drivers to work. I'm using Win7 x64. Any idea?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tass0s:
install android sdk(i think)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
At this link do the part titled "Enabling the Windows 7 automatic driver update" then plug the phone into a USB port with fastboot loaded.

-or-

Follow these steps, the phone should show up under "Other devices" in Device Manager.

EDIT: Wrong forum for this topic BTW. This should be posted in General.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nilzxx:
I managed to get the driver installed, but the official RUU installer won't find the phone when it's in the fastboot USB. What am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to use the offical RUU installer from the HTC website. Is that even possible?

I'm kinda tired of android. I just got an HP Veer and webOS is pretty nice. Only issues I have had so far is posting to message boards like what am doing right now. I got through it but had some trouble. Sorry off topic

I have loaded ubuntu onto my adam following the steps on the dev thread. I can't post there because I new here. Well I'm not new here I just don't post much. I've been reading posts for six months now but rules must be followed! Again off topic.

Ubuntu works. I have a question. I was trying to install a USB ethernet device and ran

modprobe --list

and came up with

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32.9/modules.dep

I read this post by Tillum on the Ubuntu Methods development thread.

It is very disheartening to note that developers have lost interest, but that was inevitable given the low volumes and disappointment associated with the tablets. On the other hand, quite a few of us users are interested in getting a real operating system on the Adam.

I am sure that any successful port would be easily transferable to other Tegra 2 devices as well, and so efforts won't be wasted.

If we can help in any way, just let us know.
