An upgrade has just been released on the market. I have been thinking about trying this app but as a stingy bastard I am reticent to pay 2 bucks for a lockscreen when I'm relatively happy with my current one. I do however, think that it would be great if the options offered in this product were also available in CM7, considering that many other functional niceties are so well integrated.

Hey guys, my phone randomly reboots and then just stays dark. Only thing I can do is take out the battery and reboot the phone.

I'm using the VOID rom, and before that, I used the Megatron rom, reason I switched was because of this same problem. Is there a way I can stop this without having to switch back to the original rom? Or what exactly causes this?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ccdreadcc:
I think you didn't follow procedures correctly
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zerobarat1:
Yeah me thinks so too , even though when I first flashed Void I partitioned my SD card and upgraded all the way to ext4 which was atrocious on my sd card ( a data class 6 8 gig ) . You can try this :

Repartition your SD card and leave it at ext2 then wipe everything . Cheers and I hope it works.

Hey guys, I'm not too familiar w the droid 2. My gf has it, I've managed to root it with z4. I have a fascinate myself. I have done a lot of work to my samsung with success. I cannot seem to get her phone to install themes thru rom manager. Can't figure our the cwm on the droid 2. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get it to boot into recovery.. Sorry for the noob question on the droid 2:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
i got my last question solved but I read somewhere that usin darktremors script would allow me to run widgets from sd card because the system thinks they are still in the correct place.

running GV1.5 partitions fat32/ext3/linux-swap.

I installed the script after mounting /data and /system from the recovery. After that I rebooted and ran the script commands. Moved a widget to sd card and it vanished from screen just like froyo.

what am I doing wrong?

I know you need to move the dalvik-cache for this to work. but recovery can't find sd-ext.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lainvalenajr:
Huh? From what i know widgets will not work if u put them in the micro sd.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Using stock froyo a2sd (apps2fat) will not allow you to run widgets. If you partition your sdcard (ext partition) and use the old style a2sd (apps2ext) using darktremors a2sd package you can run widgets from the sdcard. Along with putting the entire app, not just 1/2 or 1/4 of it, on the sdcard plus all of it's data (optional).

If it's easy for you to understand it as the phone thinking the ext partition is part of the internal memory, that's good enough since it's basically what's going on.

What you did wrong is moving the app to the sdcard. The commands you run in terminal move the apps to the sd ext partition. Specifically this one:

#su
#cd /system/bin
#a2sd cachesd

It will still show it as installed to the internal memory because it thinks it is. Even in a file explorer under data/app it shows the apps but that's part of the *trick*.

If you go into applications and move it to the sdcard it puts it on the fat32 partition which is where the froyo version puts them - don't do that. That's what you did wrong.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
i installed the busybox 1.18.0.git

wiped everything in recovery and from recovery ran the script. After I rebooted I ran the commands in terminal.

then my phone rebooted...does that mean it worked?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Yeah. You can use titanium backup to make sure. Just open it and you should see a bar at the bottom showing sdext available/free. Also you can use a file explorer - got to /sdext and you should see an app, app-private, dalvikcache, data, and one or two other folders listed. If you do then it worked.

You can also use terminal to have a2sd check and make sure it's working but I don't want to load the thread with commands;) I'll post them if you want to learn a bit though:D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rykoshet:
Sorry to resurrect this thread, I thought it better than making my own.

I'm running CM 6.1.3 and have an 8GB SD card inside.

1) How do I check how the SD card is formatted? And if it doesn't have an EXT3 partition, how do I partition it property?

and 2) Is there an easy, non-terminal way to send apps to the EXT3 partition, akin to hitting "move to SD card" in android settings. And since, as you said, it moves all the data to the EXT3 partition, not just some, is it best to keep most of my apps there, to free up internal memory as best as possible?

And PS, when I'm partitioning my SD card, will I need to create a SWAP partition? 1GB for an 8GB stick?

Thanks so much.

EDIT: I'm on an X10 if that helps..

I am running the latest version of MIUI and have an unused stock sdcard that came with the phone. It had a few backups which I copied to my new sdcard, but otherwise I didn't need anything that was on it, so I formatted it. Now it will not allow me to mount the sdcard because it is not set up correctly, how could I set it up?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
What did you format it as? NTFS? FAT32? EXT-2/3/4? Need more info. Ensure you format it as FAT32 and you should be fine; it has the best compatibility between ROMs and PCs.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jacezo:
I haven't been able to format it at all.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
You might consider connecting it to your PC using a card reader. From your PC you should be able to format it as FAT32. If you are on Windows, you can do this through Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Disk Management. In fact, sometimes Windows will just pop up and ask you if you want to format right when you plug it in.

Hi,

Alright, im totally new to this; I'm trying to run Android on my HD2...

So, All guides I found kind of talked about the same things:

1, Flash phone with HSPL3

2. Flash phone with Radio 2.15.50.40

3. Flash magldr v.1.13

4. Download a NAND ROM -- I was first trying with Cope's Cyanogen Rom, kept getting stuck on GO GO GO! (in magldr) after a while I actually got it to work, but couldn't get data to work, the first time I restarted the phone it got stuck again....

Then I flashed official tmobile wm, got rid of magldr, and started all over, but this time I tried flashing MDJ's Cyanogen Rom, however after resolving several previous issues i got stuck on GO GO GO! again...

also, I have tried with both magldr v 1.11 and 1.13

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

Is there something wrong with the previous steps I took? Any suggestions?

There is another thing that was always wrong with my phone which might be causing this problem; ever since I got it it would sometimes get stuck on the first purple "stay together" screen and not want to move... Even after I restart the screen would persist, and the only solution was to let it 'chill' for a while before attempting to turn on again...[It got stuck even when I flashed the wm to get rid of mangldr]

So any suggestions on how could I get Android running ??? :confused::(:rolleyes:

Thanks

If you are having problems with the phone there are couple of fixes that will work. One Software, if you have KB1, KA7 modem along with a new custom rom you may have the software fix. The Axura and Jellette Roms seem to work better for me GPS-wise, but that just may be my phone. You may want to experiment and try out. The other is the mechanical... Look at KWKSLVR's post on how to fix. basically there is a spring tab that is supposed to touch a flat antenna in the inner plastic back cover of the phone. That is the GPS antenna. If it is not engaging fully you get spotty reception. My fix was to bend up and place a small piece of toothpick jammed in there to keep 100% engagement. Now every time I do a test sitting inside my house I get 10-15 in view and within 20 sec 5-7 lock. I just checked I am 6/11 and 10m error factor. This is not rocket surgery :rolleyes:

Follow this and follow the fixes in the stickies and you will get good results.

Hi

I want to share my Experience about GPS issues, I bought T-Mobile vibrant from Houston through craigs list. I brought that phone to Pakistan and unlcoked it. Every thing used to work fine except the GPS which rarely saw any Satellite and in case if it saw few, connected only once or twice in couple of months.

I tried hardware fix - Not Worked

Tried Samsung GPS Resore - Not Worked

Tried LBS Test - Both Cold Start - HOT - Did not worked

I tried GPS Booster Trial - Completely messed up GPS (No satellite viewable) infact my gps.conf got messed up

I did few manual tweakings

created new gps.conf as under

In LBStestmode

changed SUPL_server to supl.nokia.com on port 7275

changed Operation mode in application settings to MS Based

As a result my GPS started again with some improvement in lockings in 2 to 5 minutes outdoors

Finally I installed Navitel (navigation software) with Pakistan's maps, somehow out of the blue Navitel made my GPS to lock to satellite in few seconds.

Still if I use google maps it takes time to lock but with navitel I always get lock in less then a minute. Infact today I got locked on to 11 Satellites through Navitel which was simply amazing for me.

Thanks

A simple factory reset could be all you need to get it working. Had the same issue and after I did a factory reset it was working amazingly well. Good luck!
[Vibrant General] oka1:
KWKSLVR's mechanical fix is one issue, so you could do that after trying the software fixes.

There are some other software fixes look in the bible for them.

Install this patch I uploaded, it is Master's GPS fix works pretty well I am always getting 10-15 view 5-8 lock 30-45 sec. OR, Get GPS AIDS off the market

This works for some as well I have tried and done all the above, it solves most of the GPS problems

Hope that helps you
[Vibrant General] jonwilly:
Hard to take you serious when you say you looked for a GPS fix on XDA and didn't find anything.

There are two issues with GPS on the vibrant. Hardware and Software

If you running a custom ROM then most likely your software should be fixed. The latest modems and roms include very good GPS software compared with earlier versions.

If you are seeing sats but not able to lock then most likely you do have the hardware problem. I believe someone as already included a link to this fix.

I did both fixes and my GPS went from hardly working at all to useful with locks in seconds in doors or outdoor.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrb123:
so, i have an HTC evo "4g" with sprint that i got on launch day, but im really disappointed because sprint 4g has sucked in seattle and chicago. it only works outdoors and even then it feels like sudden bursts and not sustained speed.

i had a g1 on T-Mobile and was happy with it, but I've been in the evo/sprint world for a while so i need some help:

i see that T-Mobile is having an "any phone free" deal this weekend. it seems like it might be worth it to sell my evo, pay the etf fee with sprint, and go back to T-Mobile. what I'd like are some honest unbiased answers if possible, to the following questions.

1) sprint seems to have good prices, $69. unlimited data and 450 any mobile minutes + $10 data fee. is it the same price with T-Mobile? seems to be (500 minutes)

2) what rate of speed does T-Mobile throttle to after 5gb is exceeded?

3) the g2 is what im looking at, but what are similar phones from T-Mobile that I should look at and what are the drawbacks or advantages of the top two or three other phones?

4) can any new T-Mobile phone be rooted easily or do recent hboot/radios/firmware updates make it difficult on the g2 or other phones?

5) how is indoor T-Mobile hspa+ or hsdpa signal? wimax at its 2.x ghz and barely penetrates windows so indoor reception is basically none. what frequency is T-Mobile 4g, how is their coverage?

thanks for any responses. I'd like to make a decision tonight or tomorrow morning to switch or not (and choose the right phone).

Short awnser: BUY A G2.

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
I'll try to answer as best I can.

Although the G2 is my very first Android device, I've been so impressed by it. I would definitely recommend it!

I believe that you're throttled down to EDGE speeds, which is damn pretty horrible because I actually get EDGE where I live and only get HSDPA signal (3G signals) on campus. When I'm on EDGE, I only get about 10kbps... yes, it sounds horrible. But when you are in a good part of town, I've seen mine go to as high as 7mbps!

As of right now, I'm sure that if you get a G2 this weekend, that the root process will be the same. I rooted last month using the gfree method by first getting a temp root and then permanent root. It's pretty cool since a lot of people say that this is the method that results in the least bricked devices. If I can do it, it'll be easy.

T-Mobile signal will really just depend on your location.

The alternative to the Tmobile G2 is the MyTouch4G. I've read that the MT4G is faster; however if the physical keyboard is what you want, then the G2 is the way to go. Both devices are pretty similiar.

Hope I helped.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrb123:
interesting. thanks for the replies. so when you get throttled after 5gb they always restrict you from the hspa+ network and only let you connect to edge, at whatever connection speed you can manage to pull in from those towers? I figured it would be a set kbps limit. I was also looking at the mytouch 4g and dell streak because I love the huge screen, but the dell streak support community seems to be basically non existant for some reason.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I actually did EXACTLY this almost a month ago (kinda weird since I live near Seattle too, lol). Bought an Evo on launch day because of the hype etc. and don't get me wrong its a great phone, but the battery life left a lot to be desired, and the 4G sapped battery extremely hard and almost never worked indoors, even when the area was blanketed in 4G coverage.

Eventually I really got put off by the way Sprint treated me after I went through 4 different replacement phones but thats a whole different story. I demanded to be let out of my contract and I've been with T-mo since then w/ a G2. They're great so far and I really love the Even More + plans. $59.99/month and no contract. Can't be beat in my opinion and there's just no way I can go back to a contract, I know I wont have the G2 for 2 years that's just impossible the way technology goes.

So anyways.

1) Plans are about the same price, except the one good thing about Sprint is unlimited calling to ANY mobile carrier, not just T-mo. But it really depends how you call, I really don't call much. Also as I said the Even More+ no contract plans are the beeeest if you're like me.

2) I can't give you good info, never capped. I know a lot of people can give you good info though.

3) Most hardcore Android users will say to just get the G2. It is 99.9% stock android, and has great features. The Streak doesn't have the best support but that's your own deal depends wat you're into. The MyTouch4G isn't your best bet because man that skin is terrible, and to be honest the design is just terrible compared to the G2 (chrome + cheap plastic = ew).

4) G2 is easily perm-rootable, not exactly one click but not impossible. Can't say for the other T-mo offerings.

5) I get great cell penetration inside. Haven't had tons of HSPA+ experience, but its on the same spectrum as their UMTS and HSDPA (1700 I believe?) which is pretty high frequency but I think they space their towers well. A quick comment on the UMTS/HSDPA speeds is that I've been consistently pulling 1.8mbps down AND up. On Sprint I could maybe push that down, but never up. Oh and one other thing, WiFi calling is awesome. I'm home for the weekend and there's very weak service here. Hop on WiFi and you can make calls/texts. I don't like having to rely on it because I wish service would just work here, but its nice to have just in case.

Obviously you're gonna get some positive views of the G2 in this forum but I think I can offer some good perspective cuz I did have the Evo before.
