[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joeloew:
I'm already resigned to the fact that when testing custom roms (eg. CM7 nightlies) that certain features may not work.

why would gps be *partly* affected though?

I get that it might be broken alltogether, but I don't get that it would not work as well...

just curious.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mastacheata:
Cyanogenmod and others build the kernel from the official android sources, but the drivers for the hardware are not always openn source or might be different in the open source and the closed source version that your manufacturer ships.

So when the custom rom developers use an alternative driver that one might not perform as well as the "original" one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joeloew:
okay that makes a little sense. But why would the same rom be different from one build to the next?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djmcnz:
It's actually the "A" part of "AGPS" that gets a bit messy. "A" is for assisted and it requires a number of conditions to exist and these include carrier registration and WiFi connectivity.

When you install a new rom carrier registration needs to reoccur and the proxy defaults may not be correct for your carrier. This can break the "A" which can break the "GPS".

More often that not once the proxy is correct and everything is registered GPS will come back online. Typically problems can be observed in the logs with something like "AGPS Failed to Register Location"...

So yesterday I changed my rom to oxygen Tom which have gingerbread.

So now I'm starting to download all the games again to my phone.but

Some of the games now doesn't work,for example I now downloaded the game solipskier and the game not working,when I go inside the game it just crashes and not working.

So anyone knows what to do?
[Desire General] jadephyre:
Downgrade to Froyo again.

Gingerbread can be barely called beta quality as we are still missing the appropriate drivers for it (which we will get with the Nexus One OTA which so far has not yet surfaced).

The Drivers in most Gingerbread ROMs out there are hackjobs from Froyo ROMs made to "kind of work" with Gingerbread.

Forget about games and doing serious work with Gingerbread at the moment, it's no daily driver yet.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] jbcap43:
Not sure exactly how you are going about modifying the images, but when I do it, I transfer the apk to my desktop, and extract the drawable files to my desktop, then I can look at each individual image, and then make my changes, and add the modified images back to the apk. But the only way I can get it to work, is to put the apk in system/apps...

I rooted my phone and put on cyanogenmod. when i rebooted the logo stuck on the screen. I tried to revert back to the back up from sd but now the htc logo sticks on the screen. The phone is now not booting correctly and seems as tho I have done something irreversible?

What can i do to take it back to factory settings?
[General Questions and Answers] Elimn8r:
Have you tried booting up into recovery and doing a wipe/factory reset.

To boot into recovery you need to reboot and hold the volume down button at the same time. Or if in some cases (if fastboot is off) you can poweron while holding the volume down button to get into it.
[XPERIA X8 General] bdeepu:
Hi,

My X8 is becoming damn slow day after day, so I wanted to uninstall some preinstalled useless apps to free some memory. I understand from this forum that I need to root X8 first to be able to uninstall preinstalled apps. Hence, I have successfully rooted my X8 using SuperOneClick. After rooting my device I tried to install titanium backup to uninstall those useless apps, but titanium backup needed an app called Busy Box. So I tried installing Busy Box, but busy box installation is not working... It says my phone is not NAND UNLOCKED...

What is NAND UNLOCK?

I searched so many threads and forums to know how to NAND UNLOCK my X8 but no useful information found. Thats the reason why I started this new thread, coz while searching I found a lot of similar questions without a good answer, so I believe this thread can be really helpful to so many...

My phone is android 2.1

Any help in this regard is highly appreciable. Thanks In advance

Hi

Just reconnect ur x8 to ur PC and use the option optimize or something cuz root is not just enough
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
What stupid answers.

X8 does not have any internel memory protection so NAND is unlocked just you need to mount system to read-write so you can delete apps,all this can be done with root explorer.

Hi - I rooted my nook about two days ago, it was working great, but now it seems to have gone all whack.

It is opening apps by itself without me pressing any command, it opens apps, moves the home screen, etc., all by itself, i have to try hard to force a reboot.

Even then after a few seconds it goes off on its own.

It's on 1.1.0 with Auto Nooter 3.0

Not sure what's going on here, any help?

I thought it was due to a app i installed so i uninstalled like the last 5 apps

Is there a lot of finger prints on the screen? I read about that being an issue... And when I was buying a screen protector last week, even the B&N clerk said finger prints can cause all sorts of weird problems on it.

Hopefully it is something that simple.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I'd clean the screen really well. If it's still doing weird things or being unresponsive, try recalibrating the screen.
[Nook Color General] joogle:
There are a lot of fingerprints, that might be the issue, i'll power it off and wipe it out down using a lint cloth or microfiber.

What is the method to recalibrate by the way, just in case.

Also, I think I need to find a good screen protector like zagg or bestskinsever (hopefully they release it soon as im waiting for it).

Thanks
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
I believe Zagg has a shield for the NC already. A lot of folks (including me) use the antiglare shield sold at B&N. Nice for reading and has a nice smooth finish.

Here's the link to recalibrate your screen. Good luck!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] busterdan:
Hi... a pretty straight forward question but a less than simple answer I'm sure.

I love Android on my HD2 and have been trying all the different roms, from SD and now NAND. I'm not that bothered about Sense or Stock builds, I like some of the features of Gingerbread but am quite happy with Froyo.

But I am still struggling to find a NAND rom with loud ringtone and alarm volume and also give me a fairly good/quick GPS fix.

For me the priority is:-

1. Volume, louder the better (I depend on the alarm and currently miss lots of calls I don't hear).

2. GPS - I often need to refer to my HD2 for an instant "where am I".... sometimes I find myself waiting for minutes.

3. Battery... well we are all on a quest for 3 days standby i suppose ;)

4. Bluetooth (phone and streaming must work faultlessly)

With so many variations I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the direction of a NAND build that will provide me with the above features please.

[myTouch 4G General] texastoast:
Hi all, got my MyTouch 4G a couple weeks ago and immediately started researching how to root it and install a non-Sense ROM. Finally got up the nerve a few days ago. This is my first post, so I can't post links. I followed the "TMobile myTouch 4G: Full Update Guide" on the CyanogenMod Wiki.

To be clear, I did the following:

- permroot via "gfree -f"

- Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (3.0.0.5)

- Flash CM7 Nightly build 34 + gapps via Recovery

After doing so and using it for a bit, I noticed that the "back" or "<--" button on the front wasn't responding to button presses at times. Sometimes it would be fine, then sometimes it would take a "long press" on the button to get it to work, then finally it would stop working altogether, only to randomly start working again later.

I thought maybe this was a problem with the nightly build, so last night I wiped all data and flashed CM7 build 38. It only got worse after that. Now, the back button NEVER works, and the MENU button is now acting buggy in the same exact way the back button was before. I also noticed the "Genius" button doesn't work either, but I don't know if it was working in build 34 because I don't use it.

I tried booting into recovery and cleaning caches/wipe and reset/clean davlik/etc and nothing worked.

I went into the "Key Test" and got NO RESPONSE when pressing the menu, back or genius buttons All the other buttons on the phone still work as expected. It's amazing how many apps depend on a functional back button. :D I am stuck in configuration menus in a couple of apps because I can't back out of it!

So to the point... what are my options? How can I get these buttons back?

Thanks in advance.

[myTouch 4G General] texastoast:
To be clear, I'm talking about the PHYSICAL buttons on the front of the phone.
[myTouch 4G General] texastoast:
Well, with no other ideas, I reflashed the stock mt4g ROM, unrooted and took it back to TMo. They swapped me out with a new one (good ffc, good screen).

Unfortunately, this new one is resistant to rooting. Using the same CyanogenMod Wiki article referenced above, "rage" seems to work (I get the # in terminal), but "gfree -f" gives an input error when trying to do the part7 backup and "sync" gives an I/O error and freezes the device. The part7 backup files created on the SD card are all zero bytes (plural because I've tried multiple times).

I found other posts about the input error and I/O error for other devices, but no resolution. :confused:

I also tried visionary, but it didn't work. I temprooted and again it seemed to work (# in terminal). When I tried to permroot it said it needed to be temprooted in order to work, implying that it was not, in fact, temp rooted. One time, after doing a factory reset and immediately loading visionary, it seemed to actually work. I was able to temproot and proceed to the permroot which also seemed to succeed, but then the phone rebooted and the result was no root ($ in terminal). :mad:

Any ideas? Links to more recent permroot instructions? Anything?
[myTouch 4G General] texastoast:
Simply because I don't like leaving open-ended threads, I thought I'd wrap this one up. I ended up returning the second MT4G to TMo and getting a third one shipped. For some reason they sent 2. First thing I did was try rooting both. 1 rooted, the other one did not. OK, so I checked the FFC's, both slightly off-center, but flat against the glass. Checked the screens, and the rooted one had panel_type 2 and black was obviously blacker at an angle than the other one, so it looks like I got a winner. Successfully flashed CM7 and everything still works.
[myTouch 4G General] jdkoren:
On the G2, HTC updated something (radio I think) to patch the exploit used by gfree. If they're doing that now for the Glacier as well, then it may still be possible to use gfree if you downgrade using a pre-update firmware image from the forums. But, since it seems you have one that you're satisfied with, maybe there's no sense in bothering with it. (Then again, since you have a spare to play with, you might decide to have some fun and try it.)
[myTouch 4G General] texastoast:
Actually, I don't have a spare. I sent both unrootable phones back. Last thing I need is to be charged for that second phone they accidentally sent.

I don't know what the problem actually was, but I can see from these boards that I'm not the only one. It fails at the part where it's trying to set the eMMC r/w and it can't do the part7.* backup.
[myTouch 4G General] bahnburner:
There's a good chance gFree may have been failing on the second phone because your phone was connected to your computer via USB. It's normally not that big of a deal, but MT4Gs are set to automount the sd card upon connection. Gfree freaks out about this and fails.

Glad you got everything figured out, even if it took you 4 phones.

[HTC Inspire 4G] bobbypty:
Same here

I've been having the same problems but I think it has only happened to me when I use custom ROMs such as Cyanogenmod or Coredroid. When I went back to stock I don't remember it happening.

I was running Coredroid V8.1 a few weeks ago and didn't like it because the font looked terrible but I think the keyboard didn't give that problem, it was with an older version of CD. Right now I am using Cyanogenmod 7.0 and it happens a lot and gets annoying. I now for a fact that is not hardware since the keyboard will work normally on landscape and other stuff will respond to the touchscreen.

Still trying to see if there is some sort of fix or to use a new keyboard. Installed GO keyboard and same thing happened, now using Swiftkey X and it happened also but now I took the protective case to see if that has something to do with it LOL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
edit: disregard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fracula:
ive had this problem also for awhile. i dont remember having it on the factory rom, but that was awhile back also. ive had it on every custom rom that i can think of. i used coredroid and cm7 for awhile. right now im using miui. ive tried 3-4 different keyboard at least, and had this problem with all of them. the keyboards accuracy also seems to decline. when switching to a new keyboard the problem initially goes away, but it eventually starts doing it again with the different keyboard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
I would try come non CM based roms as I have seen this come up a few times and the omr thing most have in common is that it shows up on CM based roms like MIUI. I have never had this issue on any sense based rom so that would lead me to think like wifi and Bluetooth that it is due to the non OEM drivers CM uses.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fracula:
Coreddroid is a sense rom, and I had it back then. I've been using absolution, which is cm7 based, and have not since had the problem. The problem has also been reported to occur on non rooted, stock phones.

It has nothing to do with the ROM, Wifi, 4G or 3G...its just some thing that has been an issue since the EVO came out. It will tell you it is having issues and "will be back shortly" but when you're not looking, it will sync everything. I had the same problem and over the course of a few days - when I logged onto google - it had my contacts all loaded up - I was confused at first being that I saw the same msg you are seeing, but rest assured - its still working...

[Galaxy Tab General] EVOme:
I bought my Tab from Best Buy on Thursday for $499. I just saw that Costco offers it for $399, but you pay a $35 activation and get a $30 rebate. You pay $20 for one month of VZW service and no cancellation fee. My job offers a no activation fee on VZW, so that would be waived...So, i'd get the Tab for around $453 verses $533.

I think the VZW version may have the black back, mine is white, but oh well for the savings... Thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab General] CoMtnMan:
Is your first tab vzw? If not I wouldn't do it. The vzw tabs are gimped so no chance of phone our bluetooth keyboard. The Att / tmo (gsm) tab is most customizable. If you have that I'd keep it. If you already have vzw then hey 80 bucks...woohoo.
[Galaxy Tab General] carlsbad0331:
You also need to figure what your time is worth.

1. Wipe current Tab and box it up.

2. Drive to Best Buy, stand in line while a bunch of morons ( I mean geeks) check it out before you get your refund. Then they will most likely tell you they are sending a check, or the credit will appear on your card in 2-3 days.

3. Go to Costco and buy the new one...

4. Then set it all up again.

Doesnt seem worth $80 to me...

First, I hope you are not in the estimating business (for your own sake). Because I dont see how you can do the things I listed in an hour.

I just restored my Tab yesterday, and even using Titanium Backup it took me an hour.

And no, the time and effort this will take is not worth $80 to me.
[Galaxy Tab General] Dante_l1:
My best buy had the Vzw selling for your costco price of 399.00 when I bought my Sprint version. I think that was Friday. My Sprint price was 299.00 with 2yr which I took only because work pays the phone bill.

If I was paying for the bill I would have gone vzw up front and dropped the plan.

You should check to see if your best buy will price match costco if you show them your card. I think they will price match a local competitor without an ad if they can verify the price over the phone.

You should do all that before you mention that to have a sprint tab to return just so they. In this scenario you do it all in one store.
