I definitely am going to re-run the "official" update when Cricket releases it. Anyone else notice lower than normal signal bars since running this upgrade? In areas where I used to have full bars of 3G signal now show 0-2 bars of signal max. But I still have a strong 3G data connection and good call quality, so I believe it could be a bug and misrepresentation of the actual signal strength. Any thoughts? Is it possible that this new signal bar is reading CDMA signal and not 3G signal? Before with the two sets of signal bars I hardly ever got CDMA signal just full bars of 3G.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Are you seeing your bars for 3g reception? My bars dis-appeared once I upgraded. Now I only have a "3g" graphic w/up/down, no bar graph next to it anymore.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
I do have the 3G graphic and now one set of signal bars instead of two that 1.6 had.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
your 3g graphic is obviously ur 3g, and the bar graph is cellular reception, not 3g reception.

Dont really like this too much -- think its a pretty important thing to be able to see your 3g reception nowadays..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
I totally agree. The bar graph should be 3G reception
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Fate43:
ya all I have is the 3G symbol and my phone reception bars
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
What widget is that you are using for the battery and what weather app is that?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] umadandjelly:
I dont know about everyone else, but its going to be pretty hard to get the actual update OTA when wifi is not working from the Zclusive update. Everyone else is experiencing the same things I am, like Weird signal strengths, a odd ring noise, and a lack of the 3g signal bar.

Well, at least my WiFi isn't connecting to anyones router =/
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
I'm not experiencing any call weirdness or wifi issues.

I DID do a factory reset and backup & wipe of my SDCard before I did the update, however.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I haven't had any issues with call quality. Actually it sounds better. Perhaps this is somehow an issue in some markets but not others. The Cricket signal where I live has been strong since I got it. That is actually why I switched from T-Mobile and after seeing the difference in signal quality, my girlfriend switched from T-Mobile too (T-Mobile reception here is poor at best, in some rooms of our home you can't even get a T-Mobile signal at all as to where you get no less than two or three bars from Cricket on a bad day).
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Wifi most certainly does work. ;) Been using nothing but wifi since I updated.

If my call strength is low, I notice crackling, but I've always noticed that in low signal strength areas.

My ringtones are crystal clear.

I am slightly annoyed about the 3g bar graph not being present.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] beatadalhagen:
No Windows

Have any y'all tried to capture or run the update from Ubuntu? I've installed and run the installer msi under wine1.3, of course not able to find the phone plugged in. Haven't looked any further into it *yet*.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Can someone boot into recovery mode and see if it's been updated in 2.2, or if it still resets the phone when loaded?

(can't reset my phone ATM)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Quinbad:
I've notice that The Market actually downloads updates to my apps now without wifi being turned on. Maybe this is something new to the 2.2 update? It just uses data I guess. Before, I had to have wifi turned on to download apps and app updates. I don't know it this was common for everyone else?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] beatadalhagen:
Further info:

Have adb running natively on Ubuntu, default port 5037.

Next I'll attempt to install adb in wine and connect from that.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
Is that just an exercise in painful futility?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] blackops1125:
Well got my update OTA by WiFi took about 15 mins. (Sprint) As of 2 days ago. updated on the 23rd.

Android Version = 2.2

Baseband version = 2.200

Kernel version = 2.632.9-perf

build number = 2.200SP

Some of the changes are the signal graphe changed from a 4 bar to a 6 bar, seems strength is alot better but who knows. I dont know why they would change it from the 4 to 6 but hey i like it. Calls are clear, Visual voice mail now will show text of voice mail. I love the Swype keyboard. The keyboard works great, I had to do some practice, but am starting to love it!

I upgraded from Android 2.1 to 2.2 and can see a hell of a differance, especially in read the SD card. I love that fact i can now move apps to SD card.

I am still testing battery life.

Apps from the market would download just fine using just data even on 2.1.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] turbo_1327@yahoo.com:
no issues with new 2.2

my wifi still works and had same settings as before, all my contacts are there. my call strength has 4 bars in grey. not sure if i have good signal here or thats the way it looks till it lights up. i re rooted phone after upgrade.had to reinstall busybox to get granted superuser permissions is only problem i had.:confused: all apps work even all the ones i transferred to sd card. im not sure why so many people are having trouble after upgrade.

i did notice that you wont have a 3g icon if wifi is on.

also barnacle still works for for wifi hotspot...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Still formats. =\ Looks like they updated the recovery.img (our old copy of clockworkmod recovery is not present), but nothings changed.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] umadandjelly:
I can't remember if my phone was doing this before the update, but on 2 separate occasions, I have called my girlfriends cell and got 2 completely random conversations upon her answering.

The first time, was a foreign language to me, chinese / Japanese lady talking as if she never even knew my call interfered with hers. And just tonight, a few minutes ago, was someone else talking to another guy about stocks and accounting and whatnot. We're both unsure about whats going on, but I'm thinking it's because of this update.

I am on Cricket (obviously) and she Uses a Moto Droid2 on Verizon. Anyone know whats up with that? I have done the *228 thing

Also, can anyone confirm if this is an actual Cricket Android 2.2 rom. They keep denying it's theirs and sprints on their Facebook page, but why would it install all the junk from 1.6 again, with Crickets name all over it.

Thanks
[Kyocera Zio M6000] turbo_1327@yahoo.com:
ewww looks like u got the ultra top secret eavesdropper phone. who knows what conversations it will find next. i havent had any problems with calls everyone i called said call quality is better. no echo like it had with 1.6

i have had other phone on verizon that did that once inawhile, i think it was the network getting confused.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
I have not noticed anything weird just yet, except for the fuzzy call quality when i first called *228 right after getting the update. I also did a complete wipe of everything before updating.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] umadandjelly:
Now she is telling me I sometimes sound like a robot when I'm talking. Have had this problem in the past so I'm not too concerned. But another thing about the interfering calls, and her picking up to dead silence... Could the TiKL app we both have be interfering with our calls?

Seems like it could be in some way.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
I wouldnt think tikl would be causing an interference. Me and my gf both have tikl as well and we don't experience this.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] umadandjelly:
Hm, i have no clue then. more and more she tells me i sound like a robot. It could be where im sitting most times, with bad reception. It has done this in the past before 2.2 update, that I'm starting to think isn't actually Crickets but someone who couldn't wait to release it to people on their own time, bugs intact.

Wonder if i'm going to be able to get an official update if my phone is running like crap right now, and my wifi won't connect to anyone's network at the moment
[Kyocera Zio M6000] sinisin:
No issues at all(Cricket)

I didn't wipe my phone or reset anything. I followed the instructions to a T using Win 7 64 bit and I havent experienced a problem yet with anything. Calls, text, maps, compass, all of it is working flawlessly. I've noticed a huge boost in battery life and overall performance. Love app2sd. 3G only disappears on wifi. Wondering where Swype is and where the cdma/evdo logos went??? This has to be a leaked version of the Cricket update, Sprint isnt a CDMA network and Cricket is. That was the problem they had trying to patch 2.1 over from Sprint, or so that was my understanding. They probably leaked it to Zclusive for an unofficial beta test. That's why Cricket hasn't gone OTA with it like Sprint. There is no way Zclusive got this from Sprint and patched it over to work this well that fast. This stinks of Cricket. But hey I'm not complaining, I have 2.2 and if Swype is all that is missing which it seems to be, then I really don't care because I dont like Swype anyway. Now where are some custom roms?? And does anyone know if Clockwork will work with 2.2 now? I never got it to work with 1.6......
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
as far as signal misinterpretation goes I think they hired the same engineers that worked on the signal bars for Apple...:confused: :p :D :rolleyes: :eek: LOL
[Fascinate General] Nosmirc1920:
nothing i do will get my phone into download mode, i have done it before to root my phone but now it just goes into manual mode every time (removed bat sd everything hold vol up and down (next 2 i did in both orders) added bat then usb / also did usb then add bat) what did i do to my phone?
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
By "manual" mode do you mean recovery? You only hold the volume down button, not both, to get into download mode.
[Fascinate General] ziggy484:
And you also don't need to remove SD

Sent from my rooted froyo Fascinate
[Fascinate General] M00NEY:
yep - you're doing it wrong... All you need to do to get to DL mode is turn the phone off, hold the down volume button pressed while plugging in USB. I tend to remove the battery when I do so manually, b/c then that is the only place it can go... No way to get into manual mode with the battery removed.

So for me, it is:

1) Power down

2) remove battery - set aside

3) press and hold [volume down]

4) (with battery out and [volume down] still pressed) plug in USB

5) do what you gotta do in DL mode

...unplug, put the battery back in, boot. Go on with your project.
[Fascinate General] Nosmirc1920:
yup got it working i dont know why but the 2 guides i was reading all said to hold both. ty and everything is working great.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
They were probably talking about getting into CWM.

(I actually made the same mistake the first time I was trying to use Odin, I kept ending up in the stock recovery and actually thought THAT was download mode!)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xxwikkixx:
hey just wondering, is there a limit on how man times u can flash ur nand on hd2. cause i have already flashed mine like 20 times, but just wondering to be on the safe side.:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matthew33:
20 times, as most on here will probably tell you is amateur season..lol.

Seriously tho'......I don't wanna even think about how many times i've flashed...lol....scary.

Ok, i will think.....probably 1-3 times a day for nand since the very first day nand was out and probably total flashes ever since i ownded my hd2 = 700-1000 times...lol

hd2 is stronggggggg as long as u look after it.

matt

ps: OMG...i've just realised a maths equation: amount of flashes = me= no life!! lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xxwikkixx:
HAHA......well i just got my hd2 like a month ago and didnt know anything about it, until i found this angelic website on google.:D:D:D:D

Considering moderm flash memories, the number would be in tens of thousands before the internal flash/nand gives away.
[Droid X General] ethion:
Hi, I've had a droid x for a few month now and just recently updated it to apex 1.4. Anyway my question is about my phone rebooting randomly. Seems like every day or two my phone will just reboot. I probably wouldn't even notice if it didn't make a sound when it booted up.

I bought the phone second hand and ran it stock for a long time although it was rooted. It has rebooted as long as I can recall. I was hoping upgrading the rom to apex 1.40 might fix that but no luck.

So my question is, is this normal? Does your droid x occasionally reboot itself?

Since mine does this do you think that it might be a hardware problem?

thanks for any help.
[Droid X General] Ben's:
It's hard to tell what the cause is of reboots. It could be some many random things. Most running DX’s don’t have a random reboot quirk. Corrupt file/s is normally the culprit. I would back up all your information and apps (nandroid) and try a fresh factory reset. You can SBF or maderstcok if you wanted or, you can use the factory reset option on your phone and see if that helps. If not, a clean slate is what you might need. If after that it still reboots, you will need to SBF with RSD Lite or maderstcok and if it still persists, then I am afraid you will have to rather live with it or use it as a fancy paper weight.
[Droid X General] chefthomas99:
Are you overclocked?
[Droid X General] ethion:
No I'm not overclocked and I was thinking it might be a bad file or something but after reflashing from stock to apex 1.4 and removing a lot of the blur apps I was having great speed and everything was running real nice. Then this morning it just rebooted...

Before I flashed it when I had it on stock rooted it was doing this reboot thing for awhile. Maybe every couple days. Not a huge deal since it reboots pretty fast and doesn't do it often. Just a pain sometimes.

Only things I think it could be now are bad hardware maybe I got a memory error or something. Or perhaps it is something I have installed that is causing it. I guess I could uninstall all my apps but then I'd have to cry so I guess I'll just live with it. I just wondered if this was just the baseline reliability of the device... Once upon a time I had a palm treo devices and it would crash and reboot all the time. Even when I replaced it it still did that. Friends that had one had similar issues. So for the palm treo it was just the standard that it would crash frequently. The bad thing is it would crash and not reboot :(
[Droid X General] speaker2thedead:
Reboots with Liberty 1.5

I am having the same issue with Liberty 1.5. I first moved from stock to Darkslide, and had no trouble. Then when liberty 1.0 released, I moved to that. I had other issues with liberty 1.0 but not reboots, but now with 1.5 I am getting reboots. I have already reformatted the SD card, restored to factory, and did a fresh install, but even though it seems to be less frequent, it has already happened twice today. I do have the throttle hack installed as I was getting clipped to less than 150k down.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
There's a zip file on droidforums that kejar and jrummy posted that adds back some framework files that will hopefully correct the reboot issues ...take a look at it.
[Droid X General] speaker2thedead:
Do you have a link handy? If not, I'll do some searching.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
Sorry I don't im on my phone right now but when I get to the computer I can post it for you.

Thanks for the link. I was searching thru the known issues thread to no avail.

Thanks again.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
No problem. Let me know if that helps you out.
[Droid X General] speaker2thedead:
It may be placebo, but I feel like the patch has made it more stable, but at the same time I have had three resets and a black screen freeze since I have installed it. My guess is in the throttle hack. Tomorrow I will do a fresh install and try to narrow down the culprit.
[Xoom General] Low023:
Notice at the end of this unboxing he goes to activate it and it says you can skip activation and use Wifi only settings!!!

Weather or not you can purchase this without activation is still up for grabs but at least we know that Moto did not make it required.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieK1tWYZWGI
[Xoom General] socomdark:
they are forcing you though to get that data plan. they wont be able to make the purchase because its part of the process in their systems. The good thing though is that you arent paying it up front so when you get out of the store go and cancel your plan.
[Xoom General] setite:
It has been said many times that there is no way they could actually lock wifi. And everyone I have talked to at Costco, BB and Verizon has stated that the device doesn't need to be activated, but they wont sell it unactivated.

Does anyone know an Attorney General. They need to tell Verizon that it's illegal to make us go through a credit check and buy one month of service to buy a computer.
[Xoom General] Low023:
That is unless they make you pay a deposit ($120-$400) for not having good enough credit as I said in my other thread.

The same thing was required of the Galaxy Tabs and they could waive it and use this key combination (Press the volume up button up once, Press the volume down button twice, Press the volume up button thrice, Press the volume down button four times) to skip activation on that table. lol at a Konami code for a Tablet.

I assumed that Moto would have some key combination to skip it as well but it appears to let you right there at time of activation.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Where is the microSD slot? Did I miss that somewhere? What I thought was the microSD slot appears to be a SIM slot.
[Xoom General] Low023:
I noticed the same thing, almost looks like it has no expandable memory! I was under the impression that that sim slot was the microSD slot but you can clearly see 4g on the clear plastic in that slot!!
[Xoom General] keitht:
I wonder if the Verizon version has SIM slot and Wifi only will have microSD in the same place. So many conflicting stories on this. I wish WireFly would have shown where it is. I don't see it anywhere from the video.
[Xoom General] jasbur17:
This article has a close up shot of the dual slot for micro-sd and sim.

http://ces2011.techradar.com/2011/01/hands-on-motorola-xoom-review/
[Xoom General] Badger2point0:
I think the sim card and microSD may share the same slot, each item sitting on either side of the sim tray.

Sorry if this is a stupid problem but I can't seem to find out how to turn geotagging off now that I've updated to 2.2. Can anyone help me out? I couldn't find anything about it in the epic forums, but sorry in advance if this has already been discussed.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
I don't know either I just have GPS off till I need it though
[Epic 4G General] tonycalr2002:

[Epic 4G General] qbking77:
It was gone in DK28. It had it in DI18 though. Sadly EB13 doesn't give you an option to shut it off.

[Epic 4G General] In_da_buff:
EB13 doesn't let you shut off geotagging?

That is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. People can use it to track you location - ie. posting an update on Facebook or whatever. Bad if you have a stalker. It also lets others figure out you aren't home -- various reasons why some people would like to know that.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
it dont take a geo tag for someone to realize your not home when u post a facebook update with a pic... or without for that matter...
[Epic 4G General] mc-fine:
The problems is the geo tag telling where your home is in the first place.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
These picture hosting services such as Facebook, picasa, twitpic, flikr - they should all strip EXIF data on the upload any ways.

I have a PHP script that removes it that I made at work. It's not like its hard. They should at least have an option to not store location info.

Can't blame it all on the phone. ;)

More importantly (and I can't believe no one has mentioned this), the unnecessary battery drain of geotagging. These things EAT BATTERIES big time. Why drain the battery even further unneccessarilly?!?!?!?

Okay, I'm starting to get annoyed at these kind of threads that come from ppl that obviously have no clue in what it takes to build a ROM from the ground on up. Just because android is open source doesn't mean that samsung's kernels are and we pretty much need compatible ones for our ROMs to work. Meanwhile, there are at least 2 teams working on gingerbread ROMs right now. I dunno about you but I'd rather have a fully stable 2.2/2.2.1 ROM out while we have the source than to take my chances and possibly brick my phone on a bug infested build of gingerbread.
