[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasseo:
I think it's a broken speaker. It seems like the bass is all gone and when I try to play a sound (system, music, etc) it just sounds... static-y and grainy. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do other than send it into Samsung because going seven days without my phone isn't something I want to do since I need it... =/.

Also, if I do need to send it in, is there someone at Sprint I can complain to and maybe get a like... I guess borrowed phone? I just need something that can call in case of emergency.

Thanks,

Hasseo

P.S. - If needed, I shall take a sound byte of the speaker tomorrow afternoon and upload it somewhere for y'all to hear... I just kinda want to fix it myself if it's quick and easy.

P.S.S. - Sorry, forgot that it's not a software problem. I've Odined/Wiped so many times it's not even funny, lol. And there's not a case that it does actually work. Oh, and headphone jack DOES work.

Hmm, makes sense
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddymikey1975:
call CS and have them put the repair plan on your account ($4).. then take it to a repair center. If they can't repair it for you, they'll order you a new phone.

This way you won't have to be without one.

This is another option.

Dude that is awesome. I didn't know about that repair plan, but if it's only $4 it seems worth it! Thanks!

Hi All

I've just discovered this forum and excited about the possibilities. I've inherited a i-mate JasJam and want to get the most out of this old device. I'm an avid linux user so also hoping for come level of compatibility with linux even if only WiFi sharing.

Can someone please get me rolling and point me in the right direction to what is the best / most popular maintained ROM for my device please.

Also, does anyone have any experience of using a bluetooth GPS with openstreetmaps.org?

Many thanks :)

Has anyone successfully installed the SGS LWP's?

I'm especially looking for the Aurora Live Wallpaper.

The only method I see is downloading the signed LWP zip file and going into recovery and unzipping it.

But I don't how safe that is and what could happen. So I'm checking in with you guys to see if it's been accomplished.

Hi there,

nice... I've bricked my tablet by flashing a wrong U-Boot bootloader.

I've copied the wrong file on the miniSD-card and flashed it.

What's the tablet doing right now?

- when powering up, the green LEDs lights up => no booting

- when putting DC on, the red LEDs light up => charging works

- power + "volume +" or power + "volume -" => no flash-utility, no recovery mode

- sd-card with correct firmware on it doesn't get flashed => no bootloader

I've also tried to connect it to USB and check "dmesg" in Linux, whether it appears ... it didn't.

My tablet:

It's a "Touchlet X2(G)", that's the German version of Leader G(M)10 aka Bluepanther Thunder G(M)10.

What hardware is used inside?

Marvell PXA168-based Avengers Lite board with a PXA166 chip.

I didn't open it now, so I don't know about a JTAG connector.

My question:

What to do now? Use it as a paperweight?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainlovesac:
i have searched all over this forum and google and i havent been able to find anyone having a similar problem with recent versions of clockwork.

Im having problems with restoring my nandroid backups, i have been playing with different roms and kernels lately and have had a few times that i have been stuck in boot loops, so i go to do a nandroid restore from clockwork and all my backups will freeze at checking MD5 sum.

After the first time this happened i reinstalled a rom from sd card and started over, everything seemed to be fine. I made a backup from clockwork and then restored it as a test, it worked fine. Then i got stuck in a boot loop again, and suddenly all my backups were freezing at checking MD5 sum again.

I am running the latest vesrion of clockwork and rom manager, both backups i make with rom manager and from clockwork are affected by this issue.

Any help is much appreciated.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
How much free space is on the SD card?

If it's near full, that will impact backups and performance of CWM.

CWM seems to get wonky when it doesn't have all the room it needs to fully stretch it's legs.

Assuming the card is formatted FAT32.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manitook:
One of the things that might be causing it is a flakey SDcard. They are making so many of them and many are counterfeit/relabeled that we don't really know what we are buying.

If the card is dropping sectors on the write when you do the backup it will never pass md5. Also if the phone is having trouble reading the image because of borderline bad sectors it will take forever but might still pass.

These things can barely keep up with a normal users phone use. Then we come along. And just slam them with alot of small writes installing apks to SD and Ti back-ups then larger writes with Roms and Nandroids. This could also be a sign that the controller chip is not able to keep up with it. And we know some of the hardware/drivers in this phone are funny. (cough..bluetooth)..

And SDcards really hate battery pulls. I have lost data on 2 8gb SanDisk cards that way.

Treat them like floppies. Don't trust them with anything. Ever.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I've used 3 versions of clockworkmod recovery so far, and have done 1 recovery from each version, many backups from each version. Here's what I've noticed about md5sum:

Version 2.5.0.5 - Normal ~5 minutes for full backup. ~5 minutes for md5sum.

Version 2.5.1.2 - Normal ~5 minutes full backup . ~8 minutes for md5sum.

Version 2.5.1.8 - Normal ~5 minutes full backup. ~30 seconds or less for md5sum.

Note: all work with SLCD which I have.

By the way, since 2.5.1.8 isn't on the official image downloads site, I got that from the thread about multitouch testing in the dev forum here. It is the second link in that thread.

[EVO 4G General] apfrost:
So I've been using amon ra since I got my evo then about 2 weeks ago when CM7 nightlies came out I flashed clockwork 3.0.0.5 so I could get notifications and update though ROM Manger. Today I backed up my sdcard and went to format my card through clockwork and it failed and said it couldn't do it. I figured alright lemme just boot into android and do it, so I hit reboot and it vibrates 5 times and sits there with a black screen and a flashing green light. I've searched around and found people with rooted/modded and unrooted/stock phones that are having the same issue with no resolution. Strange thing is that my evo is now S-ON even though I was flashed with unrevoked forever with S-OFF. I also can't boot in to recovery. Here are my problems and what I have tried so far..

1. Used fastboot to flash everything I can think of, but always get some kind of error.

2. After many many attempts I was able to flash the latest official PC36IMG.zip. Sometimes it boots and sometimes it won't. When it does boot it shuts off and gives the 5 vibrates. It also will not see the microSD card when booted up.

3. Tried different microSD card and battery.

4. Tried to use unrevoked, but adb is not working.

5. When booted up it also lists 3 "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" entries in device manager with exclimations.

4. Any suggestions anyone may have?

I've only had my phone for about two months and I bought it new off ebay. If I can't get it working I'm at a loss. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

EDIT: I was able to get android to see the sd card by doing the fix here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695243, but it still reboots.
[EVO 4G General] Dj21o:
Clockwork is not bad, but it isn't the best. I used amon ra for a year on my hero and I never had one issue. I have an epic now (just bought an evo on ebay ;)), and clockwork is always a hassel for me. If I were you, download the new amon ra recovery image. You can go into rom manager and select "flash alternate recovery". It will automatically switch you over. Or remove root and re root the phone.

I'm running the stock rom with S-ON and no root. Android will not even stay up long enough to use temporary root from z4root and flash another recovery.

If its unrooted with s-on then have you considered going to a sprint store and having it replaced? With TEP its free, without it, its $35-
[EVO 4G General] Dj21o:
No not z4 lol. You need a recovery image to back up the phone, flash new roms, etc.

Unless I have no idea what you're talking about. I miss amon ra, and that will be the first thing I put on my evo lol.
[EVO 4G General] apfrost:
After 16 hours of trying to recover the phone I finally caved and went to the sprint store. I paid the $35 got real lucky since sprint had no refurbished evos at the warehouse so they gave me a new one there an then. Number one rule..

DON'T USE CLOCKWORK!

Clockwork 3.0.0.5 was the common factor in all cases I found.

EDIT: Also if your using a custom rom with customer recovery like amon ra I would leave S-ON. This way a flashable zip can't modify and corrupt your NAND partitions.

Either look around for the stock rom your phone came with or if you have a tmous hd2 you can go to the tmobile line and download the official update rom just by following the directions and run as you would any ROM load it will return your phone back to stock and you'll loose the HSPL

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] madmartian:
Some awesome folks have posted tutorials for replacing the ROM on the tab to enable voice calling. Carrier info on actually using this "new" feature is a little sketchy, though. Will it work on CDMA? Can you still get the discounted price? All sorts of non-technical questions related to carrier are posted but generally buried so deep in threads that the info is hard to find and often there's conflicting info on carriers in different threads. So I am starting this thread in an attempt to collect data on carrier-specific info related to voice calling on the Tab enabled by custom ROMs found here on XDA. Here are two threads to choose from for updating the ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929479

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847273

So please don't talk about ROMs here - this is about carriers, calling plans, etc. At first this post will have lots of questions, but as they are answered in the thread I will update the original post with the info. Don't follow the data here until the thread has had some responses! So here goes...

Disclaimer: I haven't done this yet and haven't verified any of this info.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently the "upgrade" does not work with CDMA because it requires tricking the carrier into not knowing you have a voice-enabled Tab by using a SIM card from another phone. No carrier will sell you a voice plan for the Tab. So the process goes like this:

1. Purchase a Tab, but do NOT activate it! The activation would be data-only and that's no good. The SIM card it comes with will be useless.

2. Activate an old phone or used phone you bought on ebay on a GSM carrier. Currently AT&T seems to produce the best results, but please post carrier details in the thread and I'll compile them here. Activate the phone with the voice and data plans of your choice.

3. Follow instructions from one of the links above to upgrade your ROM.

4. Install different modem software (also instructions in above links).

5. Take the SIM card out of the activated phone and put it in the Tab.

6. That's it! Now you can make calls on your Tab! (is that really it or is there more to it?)

PROS:

Voice on the Tab!

By activating an old/used phone you aren't stuck in a contract.

Cons:

You don't get the discount that comes with activation since activating the data plan without voice does you no good.

At some point the carrier could get wise and cut us off, but this hasn't happened yet.

QUESTIONS:

1. What have I missed (likely a lot)?

2. What is WRONG and needs to be corrected?

3. What carrier-specific details are different (like AT&T vs T-Mobile)?

4. Will CDMA always be out in the cold due to no SIM card or is that being worked on?

5. Which GSM carrier has the best plan for the voice Tab (that it thinks is a smartphone)?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] BuglessFan:
CDMA phones do not use SIM cards, so it's not possible to do the same kind of swapping you can do with them. CDMA phones are provisioned by the ESN/MEID linked to an entry in the carrier's database. So unless you hack their corporate data or have a employee contact who will change something in the database, the entry is already linked to the device type. For example, if you have a feature phone and buy an Android phone on eBay, when you go to activate it, it knows it's an Android phone and will prompt you to call a service representative to change your plan, because that phone requires a data plan. It's also why you can't just take a VZW phone over to Sprint. I've actually heard of people getting clear ESN phones added to the other carrier, but it was always by having a friend who could do it from the inside. I'm not saying there aren't alternatives programs or ways to make voice calls on the CDMA Tabs, but it'll never be possible to do anything remotely like the SIM switching solution.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] wingtytn:
This is only for the GSM Tabs (at&t Tmobile) usa and yes u need a modem switch to hav 3G and voice but they will not work together u hav to switch from 3g to voice please becareful and read everything, the only person who will be responsable for ur tablet being bricked is you
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] countkakula:
So far I havent seen anyone that has voice and data with a normal phone sim card on T-Mobile Tab due to the fact that they have the IMEI block set up but if your going to do it you have to but one from AT&T will work with a T-Mobile sim and vice versa due to the system not really caring what the device is for the most part (at least on T-Mobile). Removing the IMEI block is illegal so your best bet is if you go with the opposite carrier from what your already using to avoid contract extentions or if you have a friend with other carrier get them to buy it at a discount while you do the same at your carrier. Then switch the two and use the modem switcher andyou should be able to do all you want.
