I'm not sure if this is related to the other WiFi issue that was reported in 1.3 or not, but since flashing 1.3, and now on 1.3.1 I'm having sporadic WiFi issues.

Basically about once every day or 2 my WiFi won't turn on. If I try and turn it on it sits there for a minute or 2 and then fails and just says 'Error'.

The only way I can fix it is to reboot the phone. After that WiFi works again.

The only other thing I've seen is for some reason about once a day when I open the gmail app I get the new features/changes pop-up like it's just installed a new version. Not a huge deal, but kind of strange.

Everything else I've used has worked great, including the GPS, which always seems to be hit or miss for me on the various releases.

Thanks

Is there a free version of root explorer or a different way I could do this? I don't feel paying $5 just for this.
[Vibrant Android Development] m4r10:
I'm using the "astro flile manager" app to copy and paste the dialer apk into the correct location but the instructions don't say if I have to delete the other dialer apk since there is a duplicate when you copy it into the app folder of system.

Another problem I got was not being able to change permissions. Long press doesn't give me that option.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Root explorer is worth every penny.

Don't be so cheap dude.
[Vibrant Android Development] amandadam:
Rename installed app, .bak at end,so you can revert back if you prefer.

Buy root explorer,it's worth it.

Battery seems to be going downhill.. flashed at 100 and it was fine the first day. Today it has been less than 9 hours since unplugged and it is at 33% with BARELY any usage. Just dropped to 32 as I typed this.. should I get a new battery? How can I test whether I have a bad battery before buying a new one
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
Thanks I didn't know that.
[Vibrant Android Development] RoZm X:
I don't know if it's my new vibrant that I received a month ago or team whiskey's roms (highly doubt it) but my battery last an average of 8 hours. sometimes during heavy usage.. (playing a few games for maybe an hour or two) my phone dies quicker. lucky I have four batteries but I want used to carrying more than ONE extra one a day, as my phone used to last me an average of 14 to 16 hours.

I disable days when screen is off. No autosync, and sometimes I disable data even while using it.

Any suggestions? I really don't think it's the rom..

Oh and this phone can't overclock at all. And when I play games it gets real hot (90 plus degrees) real quick. I've reached 114 :o
[Vibrant Android Development] ohmyggg:
It's not the ROMs. In fact, ever since I rooted and started flashing TW ROMs 2 months ago, my battery life *literally* doubled. I believe I probably had some rogue apps or processes running and the data wipe/fresh install got rid of the problem. I did put back most of my apps (I have 120 of them installed right now and can still achieve anywhere btw. 16-40 hours or more depending on usage) but I was also careful about what I restored. No Lookout, Watch Dog, Qik, or any other chatting/video chatting/anti-virus/anti-startup/battery booster type apps. The only things I keep running all the time are Astrid Task Manager and System Panel (monitoring service). I would highly recommend reading an in depth thread that was posted on this forum a while back on how to use System Panel to identify battery hogging apps that don't allow your phone to properly enter suspend mode. On my phone right now so I can't find it but PM me if you have no luck. Note, I also keep GPS/wifi on at all times with lowest brightness and bluetooth turned off. I also have both DRM services and Media Hub frozen in Titanium Backup but don't think there's a huge impact there anyway.

EDIT: Here's the thread on improving battery life via System Panel. Read BruceElliot's posts carefully starting on page 4.

bionix v 1.3

I've had that problem twice on Trigger and not wanting to reboot I got it to work by pressing the power button and turning off the 3g data. Then I went into wifi settings where it said 'error' and tapped the box and it started up again. I can't confirm if it works every time, but it did work twice.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] gohawks1:
Thanks for the info, I had tried toggling Airplane mode on and off but that didn't do anything. I'll try turning off data and turning that back on next time to see if that fixes it.

Still I'd love to know what is causing that. I can't remember ever having that problem until I went to 1.3 last week and then 1.3.1 earlier this week.

Strange thing is, WiFi was working fine at home this morning. I turned it off via SwitchPro before leaving the house, was streaming over HSPA all the way to work. Got to work and tried to turn WiFi back on, first with Switch Pro, then with the notification drawer, and finally directly inside settings and no luck.

I'll have to continue to watch for a pattern.

I've got a feeling this is somehow related to Avatar not playing all of a sudden in 2.2 Roms lately. I would try deleting any cache and data for the Youtube app, menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all tab> scroll down to youtube app and select. Delete any cache and data. Then go into Titanium and do a restore of the 'data' only for the youtube app! Hope that helps.:D

I seem to getting this problem as of yesterday. Everything works fine and smooth, all of a sudden, i go to my Facebook app and it tells me there is an error fetching data. Then i go to the Market app and the pop up window keeps showing up saying I lost network.

Funny thing is, I go to browser and i can go to any website. The first time I did this, I took out the battery and the SIM card it it seemed to work. However, this just happened again and it's not working anymore for me.

I've only had this flashed for 2 days now and installed it on my best friends phone as well and we both saw the same problem yesterday. My phone constantly kept saying the was a network error and to retry but the pages were still loading in the background so I would just hit ok. More of an annoyance than anything and I thought it may have been the area because we both work close to each other.

[Vibrant Android Development] Danielpc:
IMAP

It worked for me.

Type in you UN and password

Select manual setup

slect IMAP account

IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com (type all)

Change port to - 993

Change security type to SSL

Next

SMTP Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (type all)

Change Port to - 465

Change security type to SSL

Username: full email address (bill@yahoo.com)

Password: is the password you login to Yahoo
[Vibrant Android Development] Jay2487:

[Vibrant Android Development] Jdom58:
Dude you've bee asking what kernel to run with Bionix since last month, best way to do it is just try'em and see which one works best for you. Every phone is not going to react the same to a kernel, or just run it with the goodness it comes with, you won't be dissapointed :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Tankrat:
OP has a list. I personally use dragon kernel. I recommend reading the linked thread and use the voltage app it comes with.

You'll have flash stock kernel if you want to watch the avatar movie. You can get that @ tw's site in shorty's file thread on the vibrant forum.

Hey guys,

First things first, Im a noob. Now that said, I hope any of you would actually help me out here.

I've a Vibrant running the stock EVERYTHING. The only thing that was supposedly changed is that it was unlocked/jailbroken so it can run on Jordanian mobile networks. I've successfully managed to root it and install ROM manager and was wondering if I can download this Bionix ROM on my SD then install it using this app. and if this does indeed work, would it affect all my data on my cell? Would I have to backup my apps first? Would installing this ROM lock or brick my phone?

Thanks in advance fellas.
[Vibrant Android Development] Arkasai:
What's wrong with your signal? Need more info so we can help you, is it slow, not connecting, switching between 2G/3G a lot....there's a lot that could be going on.

You're pretty much there. Make a backup of all the apps you'd like to save with Titanium backup, if you use launcher pro or adw launcher, save your homescreen settings. If you're using touchwiz I don't think there's any way of preserving your homescreen layout, though I've never flashes a rom with touchwiz. Once you've got the rom on your SD you can use the "install rom from sd" option within rom manager to get everything rolling. If you don't have clockworkmod recovery you'll have a few more steps to do...which I don't feel like typing out right now.

Really all I can say is read every guide you can find....read all the "I just bricked my phone" posts and learn from the countless mistakes people have made leaping before looking.

[Vibrant Android Development] gohawks1:
So I just had WiFi error out again. It had been working fine all day at work, I left for lunch, came back, WiFi was on and connected but I had no network connectivity. I tried to toggle it off and back on and I started getting the 'Error' status.

I've tried toggling Data, and airplane mode and that didn't fix it. I then switched between 2G and 3G and after that it was working again. Very interesting.

I get pretty weak 3G service at home so I commonly switch to 2G only at home and 3G only or 2G/3G when I head to work. I wonder if the phone switching between 2G and 3G is sometimes locking up the WiFi, either manual or automatic switching.

Touchwiz has nothing to do with the contact, calender, camera apps, etc... The Touchwiz version of any Rom will have those. If you want you can install another launcher. I have four. My favorite is LiveHome, but I like the Samsung Touchwiz widgets so much, I run that all the time.:D
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
bionix v 1.3

It is not true that you need the stock kernel to play Avatar. I first had a problem playing it right after I flashed Bionix v1.2.1. I flashed stock and it still wouldn't play. Later I flashed Trigger and the same thing. I have the overstock kernel and this is how I got it playing.

If it still won't play try this in addition.

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:

First install SuperPower XDA and use the default settings for sleep. Then install the paid version on System Panel to track down what is eating your battery;)

EDIT: Sometimes the problem is wifi calling. Freeze it with Titanium when not in use.
[Vibrant Android Development] drcrappants:
thanks for the suggestions. what does the superpower do? i already have setCPU and put everything on power save (on bionix-v original version i was sporting about a 2% battery drain on low usage!)

i have no idea what wifi calling is....though i did notice my wireless router was on the fritz--wireless did not work but ethernet did, and phone kept trying to connect to the wifi all night. that cant drain 12+% an hour right?

edit: i unpluggd from power source @ 100%. within a minute, 98%!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
bionix v 1.3

You bet it can! I live in an area between 3g and edge, the constant switching back and forth really drains the battery. If it was only the wifi problem, I'll bet it will go away once that is resolved. SuperPower is an awesome free app from the Market that has a wide array of settings that can save you battery. I get the best results at night. Most times I lose only 2%. During the day is another matter. I don't really understand all the settings so I just stick with the defaults, lol! I haven't taken the time to figure them out. There is a paid version too, but I am happy with the free version.:)

EDIT: Seems to me all you need to do is turn the wifi off at night.
