This sometimes happens to me to, temporary workaround to this could be: close the app and try again.

Has something to do with kicking off adb the first time.

It just hangs, but when you try it the second time it should be already running in the background.

I'm currently rebuilding the whole app, upcoming release would fix it, but for now, try it a second time ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] natehoch96:
You should try to make a version that can do an animation splash screen, that'd be awesome. Its still a cool app though. :)

Thank you!

It works flawlessly on my HTC Desire Z.

I'm using the Nexus S splash image by the way.

splash screens

Remember to enter

su

into adb first

or you'll get permission denied.

:eek:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] danielzink:
No luck here.

Incredible 1, rooted. Beeb trying to change my splash image for days with no love...

Select the image - push to phone - it just hangs.

If I let it sit for a few minutes and get out of it - when I bring it up for a second time when I click push to phone the image does a barely perceptible "flicker" then nothing.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Hey guys. I'm currently running this ROM, I've been using it for a few days and have had no problems but today, when I turned the phone off and turned it back on, it took ages to turn back on. Then when it did it all looked them same but was kept freezing etc., then up in the notification bar it said "SD Card Removed Unexpectedly" then my phone went crazy with FC's.

So I took out the battery and restarted the phone. Then, it would turn on and go to the lock screen but then it would reboot and be at a continuius* boot loop of the HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.

So then I took out the battery again, this time I took out the SD card too and booted up and my phone was normal again. Obviously with no phone storage though as there was SD card in. Then after I just skipped the setup I put my SD card back in to my phone and went to the music player and all my saved songs on my SD card played. But no internal storage (I have the SD card partitioned with a 1GB Ext3 partition). Then with the SD card in knowing it still works I rebooted again, only to come back to the HTC screen again.

So basically, how can I fix this?

If I'm going to need to format my SD card is there a way I can backup what's in the Ext3 partition?

Thanks,

L.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Bump. Need to be able to use my phone properly again urgently. Thanks. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
It sounds like something is really funky (faulty hardware?) with either your SD card or your phone. You could try reformatting it with that Panasonic tool...

You can backup your SD-EXT partition with CWM/CWR. You can boot CWM from MAGLDR without flashing anything. Just put zImage and initrd.gz from the CWM download on the root of your SD card and boot "AD SD" from MAGLDR.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Thanks for the reply. :) It's not the phone as I have a 2GB SD card in it right now but that's not big enough. :(

Yeah I have a problem with CWM, when I click AD SD it says some Kernel error thing. :(

Is there any other way to find the files in my Ext partition using my computer? :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
Unfortunately not that I am aware of. Where are the CWM files located on your SD card? Are they on the root or in a subfolder? Did you modify the path MAGLDR looks for the "AD SD" path? Are you using the latest CWM release?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yep they're on the root of it. I think it's 1.12 I have ATM. How do I modify the path? :S
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Nevermind. I tried re-installing and it worked on my 2GB SD. :D But the thing is, the files I want are on my 16GB that won't read lol. I'll try flash it on that now. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Tried to flash my 16GB. Says SD Kernel Open Failed in red letters? Works with my other SD card though? :S

Now I just tried with my 2GB and it's saying the same thing again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] angiogram:
Hi guys

I'd manage to manually deodex the app and framework file from my stock rom. The problem are I can't push them either thru adb nor update.zip. Been googling around but can't really get a correct adb command for sgs. I need to push these files so that I can install themes. Anybody who can guide please help. Thanks in advance.:(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
You need super user permission to push things into read only memory. So you would need to go through adb shell, mount whatever folder framework is in to readable, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] angiogram:
Hi snapper.fishes

By the way, I got superuser permission. The only problem I don't know the correct command for the adb shell - su - mount etc, etc....

This are the command I got from Droid forum but it does not work for SGS I guest.

adb shell

su

stop

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

rm /system/app/*.odex

rm /system/framework/*.odex

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

reboot

Anybody got any idea?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
Try this:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

rm /system/app/*.odex

rm /system/framework/*.odex

mount -o ro,remount /system

reboot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] angiogram:
Thanks for the tips g00ndu. If I push those deodex file, they will overide and delete all the odex file right? Should I disable the universal lagfix first and is it safe pushing deodex file this way?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
I say remove the lagfix first. It's not necessary, but if you do screw up your phone you are going to have to reflash your phone, and the last thing you want to do is to flash your phone with lagfix on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g00ndu:
It's been a long time since I pushed files this way. Right now I'm using update zips and flash it via ulfk. Reason: it is much more simpler and more effective. If I remember correctly, your apk files need to be deleted too before you can push your deodexed apks and jars files to the system folder if you do it via adb.

Besides, I would not advocate this method of pushing through adb, bcos, there is always chances that your /system, /data partitions may result in data corruption.

Try using update zip.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] angiogram:
Thanks for your reply g00ndu. I've already try that. But after the zip file updated nothing happen. Maybe the zip creator that I use is not compatible with sgs. Can you kindly link to the correct source for sgs. Or maybe you can post the file and tutorial here so that we can learn the correct method from you. Thank you so much for that.

Anybody can help?

Deodexing Your Device - Full Step By Step Tutorial

Hey angiogram... I'm not sure if this thread still has a pulse, but I came across this thread and feel confident I can offer you some great information.

g00udu was on the right track, only one small detail I would add is reverting the permissions back to the system files once returned to the system directory.

See this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=990238

for an extremely detailed step by step how to perform this process from beginning to end.

If this issue has been resolved, keep it for future reference or pass it on to someone who you believe it may help.

[G2 and Desire Z General] bstromberg:
I have a samsung vibrant, but my wife has the G2, so i haven't been following this forum too closely. I have a problem i'm hoping someone can shed some light on. I tried a search with no luck, so sorry if this has been discussed and/or fixed.

I rooted my wifes G2 for her a couple of months back and installed what ever release candidate was available for CM. After a while the phone had a few bugs that started rearing their ugly heads (as expected on an RC release). So when CM6.1 stable dropped I upgraded, but after a while the same bugs were still there and same with CM6.1.1.

The bugs that my wife and i have been noticing are the alarm doesn't vibrate when set to just vibrate, sometimes random notifications will sound but there will be no text or email (this mostly happens when playing slacker radio in the car), and sometimes the screen will become sporadically unresponsive when web browsing.

Has anyone else had these issues? I've tried doing all sorts of searches on google and here on xda but i haven't been able to find any thing about this. What should i do? full wipe? flash a different rom? trying to avoid that since its a huge pain in the ass to restore all her apps and texts.

Any help is appreciated. Sorry if this has been discussed, but i did try to search. also any suggestions on alternative roms would awesome as well. if it were my G2 i would have already tried them all. thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] lost800:
Not sure if this will help but after I reformatted my micro SD card and copied all the data back to it, my G2 started making random sounds.

I went in and checked all the notification sounds and they were all set to default, I reassigned them the way they were before and that seemed to fix it...

Try it and see.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bstromberg:
ok thanks. i'll give it a shot tonight. if that doesnt work i think i'll just do a full wipe and reflash...or try a different rom

thanks again for the response
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I have experienced the second issue state-side but I also have not been able to explain it. Instead of rebooting for the first issue have you tried toggling airplane mode?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladkor:
Edited first post - unfortunately, Airplane mode does not help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
The only problem i've found so far is...

but probably you refer to no signal after it gets disconnected, and airplane mode doesn't help

if that's the case, i have the same problem

the only way to fix it, is to reboot the phone

my Moto XT720 doesn't have that problem

no 3G problem like you described on the SNS

specially these steps

- set WCDMA-Only

- setting network selection to 302490

- turning Airplane mode on/off after reboot does not help establish 3G connection

also no problem with this
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladkor:
The strange thing is that after the reboot, and the initial 3G connection is established and held - then the subsequent drops in connection aren't problematic.

Meaning:

I reboot the phone ->

- wait for it to establish a stable 3G connection ->

- walk into an elevator where there is no reception at all ->

- walk out of the elevator back into an area with reception ->

- the phone reconnects to 3G without a problem.

It seems that only the initial connection is the issue.

I am able to reproduce this 100% of the time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I'm not sure about how you got the phone (meaning where you bought it) but it sounds like there might be an issue with your 3G radio.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
in my case, it's only when i lose the voice connection, then i can't get anything back, until i reboot the phone

that is only if i completely lose the signal

but if it's brief, then it will automatically reconnect just fine, and maintain 3G

it might very well be a BUG with the SNS

as my XT720 doesn't experience this problem

and Airplane mode On/Off will make it reconnect right away, without having to reboot the phone, in the worse case scenarios

but the SNS handles it poorly if you ask me, and Airplane mode seems like it has no effect at all on making the SNS to regain a signal
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladkor:
I bought it from a dude on Craigslist.

I called Samsung - apparently the S/N is under warranty, but I would have to ship the phone from and to a US domestic address in order to get warranty service. Samsung's warranty unfortunately, does not cross borders.

Here's to hoping that there is a firmware fix for this issue. Maybe someone comes up with a solution in a ROM.

I will keep my fingers crossed or just stick to my Nexus One.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
The shipping to/from an American address was what I was getting at. It sucks but it might be your only option if it is indeed a faulty 3G radio.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i'm pretty sure it's a software driver BUG, and not a hardware issue

it is not like, it is not working, it is working, it just kinda sucks at regaining the signal after it is lost

as if, it doesn't even try to get the signal back

if the hardware was not running, then it would not even get signal at all
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johoja:
Yeah a bug in the radio for sure, if you are in a area with no signal for an extended period of time (5-10 minutes) the radio basically dies, and the only way for you to get a signal again is to reboot the phone.'

I've worked around this problem by using tasker and setup a task to cycle airplane mode before the radio dies ( after the radio dies airplane mode doesn't work anymore like you said)

So tasker basically waits for no service, if no service cycle airplane mode, wait 5 minutes, if no service repeat. And it'll keep doing it until service is required.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
I'm going to have to try this. I live in a low service area and it had never occurred to me why after rebooting I would get texts.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
YES! THAT'S IT !!!!

I noticed exactly the same thing!!!

if i know i'll be heading into an area known to have no connection, i usually turn ON airplane mode

then when i get back out, and turn it back ON, it works right away.

i wasn't sure before, but now that i know this, it sounds like a viable work around

there's actually an app that can do that automatically... searching appbrain to find it

i used it in the past with SGS, which had a similar bug, but then i uninstalled it, after the SGS radio bug was fixed

here i found it !!

NoBars Battery Saver

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladkor:
Unfortunately, this won't solve my particular issue.

When the 3G refuses to connect on boot, I usually have full reception.

However, I am going to give this app a go due to the potential battery savings.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Couldn't get tasker to work but I got NoBars working. Seems to be a great idea since Cell Standby is a HUGE drain on my batt. Thank you AllGamer!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i set it to give up in 30 sec

and to retry every 10 min

so if it still has no signal in 30 sec

it waits another 10 min to try

this is a pretty good compromise to keep the RADIO ON in case of incoming calls, yet keeping the battery and dead radio bug when there is no signal for too long... example getting into the Subway system
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Exactly how I set it up, personally I'd like to have it check for radio more often than that but oh well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha300:
Hey man I also have the nexus s and I have similar issues as you mentioned. And I have heard about a lot of the fixes you saw as well. I knew this is part to blame to Wind ****ty service which I hope they fix soon and also on nexus s and Google with all the bugs they have with the 2.3 or higher versions. Just hang I'm there ...... your not alone..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johoja:
Cool app, free is always good. But I'm used to my tasker :) I love that app.

Pretty annoying bug though. Hopefully they fix it soon I think it's a baseband bug so they need to push out a fix. Pretty bad testing on their part though I have to say.

As for the 3G Data specfic issue I haven't noticed any problems in that sense with Wind, working good here in Ottawa.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladkor:
Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and flashed Ginger-S v0.6. It seems that the first issue is better now; I haven't noticed it yet.

Maybe it was a faulty OTA install? Might explain why factory reset would help for the first boot; maybe a setting was getting corrupted after a while.

Haven't had the second issue happen yet, but I do have NoBars running so it might just be that it is doing a really good job.

I will keep an eye on it and let you know if it keeps working well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johoja:
Summary of baseband bugs in Nexus s

1) Having network selection set to manual ( i.e selecting 302490) will result in No Service on a reboot.

Solutions:

- Have to cycle airplane mode to get it to pick up service (can be done with automatically tasker)

- OR Use automatic network selection. (you can force wcdma only but that will reset the SMSC which is annoying if you go in and out of wind away/home areas and you want to roam.)

2) Being in a area with no service for extended periods of time 5+minutes(subway, basement, etc) will result in a dead baseband, meaning once you come into an area with service the phone will not reacquire signal, airplane mode will not work as the baseband is now crashed, cant maunally search for a network. Have to reboot to get signal.

Solutions:

-Use tasker to cycle airplane mode on and off when in no service areas i.e) search signal 4 minutes, airplane mode on 10 minutes. This will keep the baseband from crashing and possibly save battery.

-Use NoBars to accomplish the same thing ( tasker gives you a bit more flexibilty of course but harder to use) http://www.appbrain.com/app/nobars-battery-saver/com.tomdryer.nobars

- Use airplane edit to avoid turning wifi/bt off when airplane mode is on. http://www.appbrain.com/app/airplane-edit/net.cenkalti.airplane

3) WCDMA perferred does not work.

- No solution.

These are all software bugs so hopefully they will be resolved soon by google. Voice your concern on the google mobile forum though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinan:
Thanks for these tips, I'll definitely be trying tasker or nobars out. I was noticing a lot of these problems and didn't know the exact cause... always thought it was something to do with the radio going crazy when out of service for a long time. Luckily the path in downtown Toronto has decent wind coverage so it's really useful for me for long subway rides when I forget to put it into airplane mode (happens sometimes but usually I'm pretty good about remembering since I'm anal about battery life).

There is no way to copy the app so it will work on Android, if that's what you mean.

The app would have to be written from the ground up.
[G Tablet Accessories] dbhouston:
I thought I'd share some pix of a simple and cheap case for the GTab based on the foam from your original packaging.

This uses a simple "padfolio" from the office store. This is a Buxton Classic Writing Pad, but there were many versions at my local store that would have worked. The only real qualifications are that the spine be wide enough to accommodate the 1/2 inch depth of the tablet and thin enough to fold back over to form a stand.

I carefully removed the foam outline from the original packaging, and glued it to the folio using a paste glue that I hope is sufficiently strong. Be careful, though, as I expect many super-glue products would melt the foam rather than bond with it.

As you can see, the foam outline fits nicely into the space designed for a writing pad (11.5 inches). It props up nicely in my lap or on the table (and with these lousy viewing angles, adaptability is nice).

I don't like the idea of tape or velcro on something like this, so I don't have it secured within the foam. It does fit relatively snugly, though, and as long as you hold it in the closed position, the tablet cannot fall out.

Until we find some better choices made for our rare (but amazing) device, this might do the trick for some of you.
[G Tablet Accessories] Rumbleweed:
Noticed that Sears still shows the Viewsonic case as a holiday Special for $5.99. Web site accepted order and shipped. Not a super great case, but offers some protection and has a handle for carrying.

I was searching through the market last night and I found a new messaging (bbm replacement) app called Beluga.

Is anyone else using this thing? The interface is pretty slick and it seems to integrate your location into your messages which could be useful for planning a meeting.

The problem with all these messenger replacement apps is that there are too many of them. We just need one to hit critical mass.

I'm curious what everyone thinks of these "bbm" apps. Is anyone actually using them or is everyone still just texting?
