[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I'm only replying so you don't feel ignored. :D No idea, myself, but can you do a nandroid on the X and try flashing this to see? You might be the first person to try, so you can let us know if it works!

For the record to everyone, this seems to work just fine with Gingerbread ROMs, too.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] chadw80:
Lol appreciate it! Unfortunately it didn't put my phone in airplane mode when it booted back up.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] lotus22:
I don't have a Droid X to test on... however, I did compile the program with the Android 2.1 SDK so it should work on anything with >= Android 2.1

Note: Don't flash this program. Just install the .apk like normal.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] lotus22:
Thanks Zach! Glad you included it. I bought a Motorola Droid off my friend so I don't use an Eris for my main phone anymore. I'll have to test this out on my mom's Eris which uses xtrSense!

TWS/data drop fix

The fix50 app did fix the TWS problem on my optimus but didn't seem to do much for the battery or fix the data drop issue. I ran across this fix posted by greenmonster on an Android Central forum (http://forum.androidcentral.com/optimus-v/57943-excessive-battery-drain-even-standby.html):

I'm going on day 3 now (no reboot) and have had a noticeable increase in battery life an no data drops that require an airplane mode toggle. Any way this might be made/incorporated into an app similar to fix50?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rcsrich:
Data drop/TWS update

So I finally had a hiccup about 9:00 last night that caused a data drop- it was right after I lost a phone call & during a pretty serious storm, so don't know if that affected anything. I'm still pretty happy- I've never gone more than three or four hours without having to do the airplane mode toggle due to data drops- 60 hours without a drop is encouraging!

Time without signal also stayed in the single digits...

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] gibson3659:
I used Tasker to do the same thing for my Captivate, but then I went one step further that makes it almost seemless. I suggest you add this in.

On shutdown, go into airplane mode.

On boot:

If in airplane mode, turn it off.

If not in airplane mode, toggle off/wait/toggle on.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's a good point. One less thing to do at bootup.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] cpshelley2:
works great on my Optimus V... thanks OP!!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mflane:
I had high hopes for this, but it runs too early in the boot process and causes acore FC and somehow keeps my CPU peaked (running TaintedTenzo V16 on one Eris and TTV18.4 on another; both using SetCPU 2.1.3).

Can you alter this apk so it will run about 5 minutes after boot?
[Vibrant General] tiber:
Froyo on my wife's phone runs like crap. This is the official update from minikies and it's applied to both my phone and her phone. We did them back to back. On my phone, I did the update and tossed it on the nightstand. On her phone, we did the update and rather than wait for things to "settle out", she started surfing the web, etc, immediately.

Any thoughts?
[Vibrant General] emonero:
just do a reset....
[Vibrant General] tiber:
As in, what, a reboot? It's been rebooted quite a bit.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Each phone may run different as using it after an update should not affect speed at all. My phone ran butter smooth with JI6 while others reported lag. You may want to wipe all the user data and cache data through the phone's recovery. To access recovery:

Shut down phone.

Hold both volume buttons along with the power button.

When the Vibrant screen comes up release the power button but hold onto the volume buttons.

A blue menu comes up and use the volume buttons to scroll and power button to select.

Keep in mind this will erase all her data and may or may not work.

Try to erase the cache first though(also through recovery). It won't erase the user data but refreshes the phone again. Start up may take a while though.
[Vibrant General] tiber:
yeah I had done the cache and the other data wipe. I was seriously hoping to avoid wiping the user data because she's purchased textbooks from third party appstores and I'm not sure if they will live.

So the next question - If we move these apps to the memory card (the textbooks) and then tell the phone to nuke the user data, they will survive the experience or does wiping it also wipe the SD?
[Vibrant General] MWBehr:
There's never a guarantee that no data will ever be lost. To be safe and sure, backup to a computer or backup everything on your external Sdcard and remove it before doing anything.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Keep in mind that RFS(Sammy's file system) will slow down over time and is only fixed in android 2.2.1 (mostly). Your best bet would be to flash a new custom rom with ext4 or just a voodoo kernel but stay stock.
[Vibrant General] tiber:
SO FUNNY YOU MENTION THAT. As of 2.2 (the official froyo flash from tmo), Clockwork doesn't install so consequently I can't make voodoo go. It's the 3E bootloader. Also I've had no luck with pushing the 3E fix whomever it was discovered. It simply doesn't take. If there's a workaround, I'm all ears. My first thought was "oh just remount it as RW" and I'm clearly missing something.

Ideas on making voodoo go? That was my low hanging fruit I was trying for initially.
[Vibrant General] zelendel:
Want to install a custom rom. Drop back to 2.1 then flash a custom rom.
[Vibrant General] tiber:
Maybe there's something I'm missing here, but if clockwork doesn't work on the phone, how shall I install a different rom - even an older one?

Moot point - I figured out how to get the recovery binary moved to /system/bin on my phone, but the goal was to fix the existing froyo rather than flash a custom rom. If there was a way to drop back to 2.1, I would drop back to 2.1 and then have the tmo official update it. So let me propose something...

Given that I now have 3e recovery doing The Right Thing, I would guess I need to install clockwork, grab the 2.2 Tmobile UKVA6 ROM, then use clockwork to flash that in place. Since I'm flashing from 2.2 to 2.2 and not changing anything, will her user data live through the experience or do these flashes reset the partition with her apps on it?

Suffice to say i'm a bit unclear about this... my scenario

currently running leedroid 2.3d with ext3 app partion and I wanted to test out some of the gingerbread ports so far.

If I do a nandroid wipe, and the clear the app partion, and wipe through clockwork, install the new gingerbread rom, decide I dont like it. Can I still restore from the nandroid backup and have lost nothing... I realize it may sound like an obvious question but I couldnt find any conformation on that and really dont want to loose my current setup
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yes, assuming you nandroid before you do the full wipe ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barefootpilot:
To be clear -

Nandroid backups take a complete image of the phone (ROM, apps, homescreen settings...) which is used to put everything right back where it was before you started messing with it.

Take a backup before you do anything, personally I have about 5 or 6 now (usually 2 or 3 on the phone itself, and a couple of trusted older ones copied onto my laptop) so I can get back to a working system. I keep a spreadsheet list of exactly what they are (ROM, setup, kernel if appropriate) so I know which one to restore to. Maybe it's just me but I find "2011-02-02-15.43.53" less than helpful as a restore point name.

Once you have a backup I'd also suggest rebooting, connecting to your computer and backing up the contents of your SD card. So far I've had one card die completely on me, luckily for me there was nothing irreplaceable on it. Backups, like all other files, can be copied from one SD card to another.

My phone is Samsung Vibrant!

I had a question.

Why samsung vibrant not use 512 ram?

I'm use tast manage.In Summary,it display 326mb ram!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
The Android OS itself needs some RAM for vital phone functions, SMS functions, etc. and the video card (PowerVR SGX 540) needs some dedicated memory. But how much RAM do you really need? Do you multitask 10 apps at a time?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWBehr:
Like was mentioned. The lack of 512 "max" memory is because of the dedicated memory for video, just like any other motherboard with onboard video.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duongthanhcong:
I want free about >100mb ram. And I do not run 10 with a time multitasking.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duongthanhcong:
I thought the max was 512 (including memory for video)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beren28:
Why?

what good does unused ram do you?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XPLANE9:
Unused ram is what it is, unused and wasted ram. Google will optimize the OS for our hummingbirds as the Nexus s uses the same SoC, so our phones will be up to date for at least a year. Android is efficient with RAM management so don't worry, you will rarely run out of RAM. Even the original Droid with only 256 mb ram rarely had issues.

hi guys

after flashing my galaxy 3 to the 2.2 orange rom... i cant seem to use my data connection at all. any help on this?
[Galaxy 3 General] debaj:
Perhaps you need to set up the APN manually. Go to Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Access Point Names, and add a new APN with your carrier's settings.
[Galaxy 3 General] aeonstorm:
omg.. its a lot of settings.. how do i go about doing that
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Who is your mobile service provider? Try googling "X APN settings android" X being the name of your provider.

And no need to worry about all those settings.. usually you just need to set the top 2, which for example for me are Saunalahti Internet (name) and Internet.saunalahti (APN name)

Adam tab and Apple wireless keyboard

I have a wee Apple BT keyboard that I find the Adam can PAIR with but NOT CONNECT to. I have tried the dreaded BlueInput app. and it connects allows Caps on and off to work, but then dies when I try to use it with (say) Documents to Go or anything else.

I did finally get my Jabra 620s stereo headset to connect and it works well with Music and 3 by Filipe Abrantes (the best player for my money). So it is not the BT hardware on the Adam.

keyboards that do work

Yeah I made the mistake of buying the microsoft arc too under the assumption that all 2.4ghz keyboards would work because one did. It is something that Microsoft does with the interface that is lacking. I was able to sell mine and only take a 5$ loss on the deal. What I did find was that the IOGEAR 2.4ghz multi media keyboard works great with my Adam. I am using it right now to type this. It is not as small or light as the Microsoft Arc, but it has the roller ball mouse that functions ok. I forced a computer store to let me try it out before I bought this one, because I was not going to laydown more cash for something that did not work with my ADAM. I have seen this IOGEAR keyboard for as low as 40$ on-line. I paid 60$ for it at the store. For me it has been worth every penny, I am severly limited by the lack of physical keyboard. I think Google has really missed the boat on this one by not having the BT HID support set up better in Android. Apple finally pulled its head out and has made BT external keyboards something common place now.

My Igo stowaway BT keyboard also pairs but does not connect. :cool:

Retraction: MS ARC KEYBOARD DOES WORK!!!

WOOT!!! I decided to try one last time! So, I toggeled the Allow USB Debugging check box a couple times, plugged in the nano receiver and restarted Adam with the receiver plugged it. When it rebooted, VOILA, Keyboard working!!!! I don't know which step fixed it. But, it works! I'm typing on it right now!!!

Further testing . . . I unplugged the receiver and hot plugged it back in without restarting = STILL WORKING! . . . I unplugged the receiver and put it into my ConnectLand 4-port USB hub/dongle = STILL WORKING! . . .

I added my RocketFish Nano Optical Mouse receiver to the hub = BOTH STILL WORKING!!!

Lastly, this USB keyboard/case works too!!! http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Case-Keyboard-Stand/dp/B004JF9N1O . . . I had this already. And I'd modified the left tab lowering it even with the right tab to accommodate my old G-Tablet's ports. On Adam, the Left Tab now covers the left USB port instead of the volume keys. I can live with that< since the right USB is free & available. The right tab covers the Back Button. I can live with that too while it's in the case. If Adam goes to sleep, I just toggle the power switch with no problems waking it back up!!!

SO, here are TWO keyboard options that work!!!

im went to frys and bought 3 different bluetooth keyboards but was having no luck pairing them. but i did have luck on my 4th one! and its pretty awesome!

its Pro HT Bluetooth Mini Keyboard using the bluetooth keyboard easyconnect app in the market. The keyboard is super tiny, much like a qwerty on a smartphone.

Using Adam with EdenX v2.1.0

*UPDATE:i have noticed, if i dont use the keyboard for more then 10 seconds, it stops working. but once i go to settings, bluetooth and hit scan for devices, it begins working instantly. I think it has to do with the bluetooth easy connect app failing to continuously scan for the bluetooth keyboard.

Does anyone have a workaround for this???

Logitech BT Keyboard working with Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect

I am amazed ... I am at last typing away on the Adam using. Bluetooth Keyboard Easy Connect (BTKEC). I had the troubles gettig it on MARKET that we all have had. Simply re-installing the APK remedied that problem. I did as an earlier user suggested and turned DEBUGGING off, even though I thought BTKEC needs the the machine to be rooted. Maybe it does not? Anyway, the keyboard works, WiFi stays on and my only wish is that it was a small fold-up keyboard.

The keyboard has a mousepad and that does not work. Also, capslock does not seem to work. I am sure that would only need the key to be configured in Blueimez which is the Input method one selects (i.e., hold down your finger or styus on any input box and choose between Android / NI / Blueimez.

At first Blueimez (which is the key capture program called by BTKEC) told me the Logitech wireless keyboard is connected, and then even though it kept working, it stated onscreen that 'Conection Refused'. I am not sure what that referred to, but that message has stopped now and the keyboard continues to work. I hope others have similar success and that this remans stable.
