[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Just tried it. It is rooted, bloatware is removed, HSUPA is enabled , Unknown sources option is there and I was able to install a non market app, and browser goes to google.com.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
But does your gps work again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Yes everything works perfect. Locked GPS in 10 seconds and all the other goodies that come with rooting. Thanks guys!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Is there an easy way to change the default load page to Google aside from loading this Rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Lulz... in browser settings you can change it. I just set it so that you don't get that stupid att/yahoo page the first time you open your browser.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Haha guess I just assumed it was more complicated Haha, pardon the dumb question :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Did you have to re root to get gps back or just wipe and flash the Rom over?

Via XDA for Inspire "4G"
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Somehow, I lost GPS when I originally did gunnyman's method so I had to wipe it clean and start from scratch. Since s-off was left in tact, I was able to load a rooted rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968689 and everything works. Even higher data speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Great work with that rom! Do I get a cookie for "testing" it? LOL
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
So it looks like something in Attn1's rooted stock ROM is affecting some people's GPS. I wonder if we already have different build numbers on these phones, IE 2 different plants building them and using maybe slightly different parts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Not sure. I saw someone else had a similar problem after loading a stock rooted ROM. Could it be a problem with the gold card? Or, you may be right. Who knows.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968853.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
It's not the gold card. The only thing the gold card does is tell your phone, hey it's ok to install this firmware. It's like a master key.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Shows how much I know. Now I understand what a gold card is used for.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yes, it's very peculiar, because I have TWO inspire 4Gs and installed InspiredHD on both of them, both were fine with the GPS working, then i flashed them both with AT&T rooted stock, and one has gps issues now and the other has no issues. Both have serial numbers within 2 digits of each other since they were bought together, so not sure how to address the issue. I've reflashed and the GPS isn't coming back. I hate having to go back to factory. :-(
[HTC Inspire 4G] farmercyst:
I think you right about that. its the rom that i had problems with aswell. all is fine on stock and other roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I'd agree but having two phones from the production bath and one working and one not I think there's a different issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
OK, I have read through this entire thread and I seem to have one little problem. I can not mount SYSTEM directory to R/W. The build.prop file is locked and I can't do anything with it, not even open it up to view it, much less make any changes.

I am running the Android Revolution ROM by mike1986 at the moment, could that be the reason I can't set permissions on the folders or files I need to edit? And does anyone here know if the HSUPA is pre-enabled in this ROM? I know that this thread is not support for this ROM, but just thought someone may know from prior experience.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I'm running Revolution 2.1 and HSUPA is pre-enabled on this ROM. I am also able to mount the system directory as R/W using root explorer. I am also able to edit build.prop when I do this
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
Glad to know that the HSUPA is already enabled on this.

I really do wonder why I can't set permissions though. That's got me puzzled. I long press on the system folder and choose "permissions" then set the check marks and tap on OK and it "seems" to do what I asked. But when I do the same thing over again my check marks have disappeared. And if I long press on the build.prop file and choose "Permissions", it just tells me that I can't change them because it is a read only file.

Vewwwy Weiwd indeed! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I use Root Explorer and here's my process.

Navigate to the system directory, tap the Mount R/W button at the top, long press on build.prop, Open in Text Editor, make my edits, then Save. This automatically creates a backup of my original build.prop and names it build.prop.bak
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
I have tried that as well, but when I tap on the Mount R/W button it never changes, it stays as R/O and long pressing on the build.prop will not let me open it in text editor, just gives a pop-up that it can't open it because the file is read only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I'm at a loss. Have you tried clearing Root Explorer's data? Or uninstalling/reinstalling root explorer.

Other than that, you might be able to try to pull it manually and edit it on your computer and then push it back (using adb)

I found this (http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...ected-app-market-fix-tutorial-build-prop.html) guide for editing it manually using ADB (Note: this is for editing something different in build.prop, so at step 2 make your edits, not the ones it's telling you to make)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
Not really a big need to jump through all the hoops needed to edit this file just yet. Since this ROM has HSUPA enabled already I think I will just put it all on the back burner until the need arises.

I did try clearing the data for Root Explorer and that didn't work. Then tried using CWM's option of fixing permissions, thought that just might do the trick but that was a no-go as well. Hopefully someone will come up with a simple answer in the near future, or at least before I need it. LOL

Have not tried uninstalling Root Explorer and re-installing yet. Might give that a go when I get home from work this afternoon.

Thanks for the suggestions homeslice ..... HTR

Hey everyone. I have an epic 4g and i'm rooted but when I use WiFi Tether app my computer won't connect to it. Any tips to make it work?
[Epic 4G General] kids88yj:
:confused:wifes phone has the same problem running any of the the wifi tehter apps?
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
Are you using the market version or one of the newer versions from: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

I tested the newest (pre10 http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_0-pre10.apk&can=2&q= ) and it worked for me.

I don't think the version in the market works with our setup right (EB13) now.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I tried pre10 several times. Each time it crashed my phone so bad that it actually REBOOTED (as opposed to FC)!!!!
[Epic 4G General] edonnelly:
I saw someone else had that problem in another thread. I'm not going to be much help, I just tested it out but haven't done anything more with it. You might search around, though, because that person definitely got it to work even with the reboots and had some advice on that, I think.
[Epic 4G General] lycwolf:
Stock rooted EB13, the market version of WiFi tether works fine for me.
[Epic 4G General] garr741:
I had the same problem... I switched back to v3 pre 4... Stol have the same problem... do you use ad-hoc or infrastructure w/ hotspot activated?
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
3.0-pre10 works fine for me. Even tested it by tethering to my laptop.

I did notice with my netbook, it would say it was disconnected, but it actually had internet connection (to the phone - speed test and IP proved that).

It appears there's a glitch of some sort in reporting a connection, but it works.

The app does seem to interface via the Sprint Hotspot, as that starts up, so make sure you didn't remove that APK.
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I was using the defaults. I did go into the phone profile after the first reboot and changed from auto to Samsung Epic but didn't help.
[Epic 4G General] b8ascrub:
awesome!

YES... works awesome!! I have downloaded every type of tether. Worked flawlessly and my connection is pretty damn fast!! TY
[Epic 4G General] Robperri:
I've tried numerous versions of WifiTether. wifi_tether_v3_0-pre11 being the most recent. At first it worked for a couple hours and now it reboots my phone as soon as I start it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled pre7-11 with same results.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
I've just flashed Phoenix 5.2 on my phone, but for some reason if my phone is in silent mode I get absolutely no vibration when I get a SMS message. I've checked the sound settings and the settings within the messages app itself but for the life of me I can't find where to turn vibrations on! If anyone could help me, that'd be fantastic!

Thank you!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koreancanuck:
If it's on silent mode, it is set so that no vibration notifications come in. You need to put your phone in vibration mode :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Is there a vibration mode at all? I'm using the silent mode that you can get to by using either:

1. Sideloader

2. Top menu

3. Lock screens

When I used to be on Cognition, the silent mode automagically put everything in vibrate mode (to my memory)... Or I must've changed a setting somewhere to make it vibrate instead of making no sound/vibrations whatsoever.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
Menu>Settings>sound>vibration > ALWAYS or ONLY IN Silent or ONLY not silent

if that just isnt doin it for you try the app "SMS pop up" it will take over the notifacations at the top and you can control the vibration how you want, with reminders if you dont answer right away and pop up windows with the txt, with privacy mode if lock screen is on, custom ring tones for custom people ect...

if you use sms pop up disable the regular sms notifacation.

SMS app> menu button>settings> notifacation
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Thanks for that! I've also found out what the problem was! I've had "ALWAYS" on all the time!

The silent mode in Sideloader and Top menu makes it vibrate, but the Lock Screen's "Silent Mode" makes the whole phone just go mute.

I've had the Lock Screen set to the new 'Rotary Lock' that's available in Phoenix 5.2... and it seems to be only that Lock Screen's Silent Mode that causes this problem.

Silent Mode with the normal Android Lock Screen works fine (with vibrations and etc)

Vibrant with Bionix-V 1.2.1 with stock kernel.

In the camera app you can choose default dest.->Online albums but Picasa is not an option. Kinda strange because gallery automatically pulls Picasa photos in. Am I missing something? I know I can upload from Gallery or use pixel pipe but I would prefer not to use those options.

Recently when I restarted my phone, the 3G symbol doesn't show. Switched to edge and it appeared then switched to 3G again but now can't even connect. Just shows the 4 bars with no edge/3g symbol.

[Vibrant General] goingthree:
I haven't rooted my phone yet. My reception is great but it has just acted like this lately.
[Vibrant General] TheShadowMan:
In that case I'd say its either local interference or perhaps a malfunction with the nearest cell tower. Either way if you haven't rooted yet and it persists, I'd call T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] goingthree:

Must be the area as aloneinshadow suggested, unless you have changed settings, such as: use only ........ network, intended for battery save. Sorry I can't be more specific but my current rom does not have that option. I just know that 2.1 has it, if you are on Eclair.
[Droid Incredible General] Theteflondon:
Hello all im currently looking for a rom for my dinc that doesn't have the sense ui... Wich one the most popular.l?
[Droid Incredible General] Smokeey:
Your looking for Android Open Source Project, or AOSP ROMs, I'd say Cyanogen Mod is the most popular, current version is CM7 RC1, which is Android 2.3. There's Skyraider Athena and a couple others. If your looking for something like an iPhone go for MIUI. Its all your choice.

Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Yep, my top choice would be CM7-RC1.5, then CM6.1, MIUI, and the rest I've sorta lumped into a big group- but there are a lot of really great AOSP ROM's.
[Droid Incredible General] smoonyheim:
I agree about miui an d cm 6.1-7

Very stable, amazing battery life.

And ironically my first reboot was writing this as I write it is stable lol. nonetheless, I recommend cm, but miui is nice too.

I'm using incredikernal beta and am on like, 58 hours off the charger with my 3500 seidio at 45%.
[Droid Incredible General] Theteflondon:
Let me ask you this... whichever rom I decide to choose, will I still have access to my Verizon backup assistant and Verizon exclusive apps like nfl mobile?
[Droid Incredible General] paboater76:
I'm currently running Sense(less) rEVOlution 2.0 (its not AOSP) along with

2.6.32.27-incredikernel-12232010-plus25v. So far I love it. Fast Stable and great battery.
[Droid Incredible General] BJorje:
I actually like the senseless ones better than aosp since they keep a bunch of really nice sense stuff while eliminating most of the bloat. Both skyraider athena and senseless revolution (which I also use and love) fall into that category. If you look in the dinc development forum, somebody just posted a nice comprehensive list of the available roms arranged by type. It'd be a great place to start.
[Droid Incredible General] Theteflondon:
Ok im going to sound real amatureish here i rooted my dinc and used the vitorus rom that is basically stock without the bloatware... That being said i need to know what AOSP means. Also i need to know do i install the kernell seperate from the rom itself or is the kernel included and i just have to find the right one.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
AOSP basically just means it doesn't have sense, a lot of them are generally buggy but you'll find a few that are very nice to have on your phone.

They all have different looks, so I'd suggest you just checking out each one and seeing for yourself.

MIUI has sort of an iPhone look and feel to it.

I wrote up a list of ROM's here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=969371

So just check down the list to see how different ones look. Of course many of those also have additonal modifications that you can put on that will further change how things look (changing notification bar color, etc)

> Flashing a Kernel you can do just like flashing a ROM. Every ROM (at least that I know of) comes with a kernel when you flash it. However you'll find that there's a few Kernels that give superior battery life and performance than others.

Then it boots and it looks like crap and most every time, then shortly after I cant see anything because half the screen is polluted with the colored lines going on the screen. mostly white and blue.

Basically the phone is unusable. some other things are that the screen wont turn on when its plugged in to charge and the capacitive buttons don't work.

Odin it back to stock and warranty it to Samsung. Hardware is obviously defective. At the very least you can make sure it's not some obscure software glitch.

Ask them to repair it.

http://shop.sprint.com/en/services/service_repair/in_store_service.shtml

Otherwise try your hardest to Odin it so you can warranty it. Possibly use the Samsung EB13 upgrade tool (which is essentially Odin).

Make sure you have drivers installed properly?
