[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peckjh:
Just tried flashing via ROM Manager and it's a no go. I need to flash custom kernel and the link that is in this thread is broken

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788099

Anyone else that can help me figure out how to flash clockworkmod kernel using a MAC with no ODIN (and no I am not going to run bootcamp)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsuneKnight:
From what I've read, Heimdall (or whatever the name is) doesn't work for our phones, so Odin is the only way to flash it. Setting up a VirtualMachine and using USB-passthrough probably would work, but otherwise you'd need to find a computer that can run Odin (you'd also need to use Odin whenever you change the modem used).
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1134:
Heimdall works fine with the fascinate. I haven't used odin in months, and use heimdall daily to flash test kernels and such. Not sure it works with mac though.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peckjh:
There has got to be another way. When using ODIN how is it flashing it to your phone? Is it possible to use ADB commands through MAC to accomplish the same thing? Also there is a way to flash the clockworkmod kernel using a MAC, instructions are posted on the previous post (link) but the link within that thread is broken, anyone have the file??
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenisiz:
Wait? You flashed clockwork mod, followed by rebooting and then selecting the update.zip and it didn't work?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peckjh:
Yes, through rom manager. It did not work.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsuneKnight:
Rom Manager can only install part of CWM. The rest needs to be flashed via Download mode, such as with Odin (or that other one, apparently).

I never used Odin until my eb01 flash...fyi

I haven't been able to find samsung drivers for MAC. I can dual boot on my mac so everything for my phone I have to switch to Windows.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin Gossett:
Here is all you need for using your Mac to push files to your SD (when the computer won't recognize), root, flash CWM... Only thing not possible yet is flashing the radio. So if you plan to upgrade to froyo you need to at least have the DL09 radio already.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] govolsman:
Tried the one click root and it wouldnt work...said permission denied. Tried it about 5 different ways and never got past the first step where I was supposed to drag and drop files into terminal to be pushed to sdcard. Allows denied permission...i assume I was dragging the right files into the terminal.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
You need to use the manual adb rooting method when rooting in OS X. Also to flash custom kernel and recovery, you need to flash them with redbend_ua.

Hey guys, so I'm an owner of a new MT4G, perm rooted, running Ice Glacier 1.1.6 with Smart Ass kernel. Everything's good but I've notice that my battery life stays at 100% for a long time, like maybe till noon and then starts dropping really fast and levels off to what looks like the current level. Have tried checking with Battery graph, but it didn't really help. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bad331:
I saw the same on the CM7 build 34. You might want to check out a CM7 nightly 2 or later build.

Hi dear everyone,

I wander whether it's possible to change the hidden setting like SMSC number in my program, if it's running in a rooted phone. If it's possible, any further information?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] keemyb:
On my DHD with cm 6.1 I can't find anything under either settings or messages.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hoveychen:
Yeah, thx for replying.

Entering the offical setting by *#*#4636#*#* is ok by end-user.

However, I'd want to modify SMSC in my own program for another purpose.

Any Idea?

It is rediculous to think these flagship devices have HSUPA disabled from the factory. I am making this post to encourage ALL owners to display their displeasure to ATT and Motorola for disabling HSUPA and effectively capping upload speeds to 300k/s on the ATRIX and other devices.

I would ask that you do this in two ways, by calling customer support. But more importantly... post your comments on this thread on AT&T's customer support forum:

[Desire General] Lothaen:
My question was concerning my 16gb Class 6 card (which actually appeared to be corrupt/broke'd anyway)

I asked about compatibly with the Desire...

I'm sure I read some threads about class 10's working fine in the Desire?

The link seems to suggest only a class 2 or a class 4 will work...
[Desire General] decat:
I'm using a class 4 without problems so far.

On a dutch board I read a guy was using a class 6 on Starbust so it should be possible I think.
[Desire General] UKseagull:
I've just bought a 16gb class 4 Sandisk and the speed tests show it as being quite a bit faster than my class 4 (non Sandisk) 8gb card! :confused:
[Desire General] mistake37:
I'm using class 4, working fine :)
[Desire General] Rew64:
I'm using a 8GB class 6 card with Custom ROM and A2SD with no problem. Been over 6 months now.
[Desire General] OpusX11:
A lot of class 10 cards have issues, class 6 seems to be the most reliable thus far. Some people have had good experiences with A-DATA 16gb class 10.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
So from user experience - a good Class 6/10 card should work just fine? :)
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Yes, it should. Have no problems, with mine :)
[Desire General] midnightflash:
For C6 yes.

For C10 Mostly yes... but usually class 10 is not really faster... so save the money.

Just my two cents.
[Desire General] Bartyzel:
I'm using Transcend 8GB class 6 without any problem. Try to format by gparted or similiar. Are you using it for any other purpose than storing photos, music or etc? For example for data2sd or apps2sd?
[Desire General] calyco:
I just bought a transcend 16gb class 6, working perfectly so far with no problems.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I bought a 16gb class 6 to use with data2sd but struggled as the card was broken - so i've sent it back and just have the 8gb class 2 that i got with my phone now - and on stock rom again, so it is just photos and music and froyo app2sd at the moment
[Desire General] noobandroid:
basically all branded cards will work fine, the thing you shoud be concerned more onthe capacity you are gonna use. It aint worth buying a 16GB sd when u cant fill even half of it with useful stuff
[Desire General] 3f1f37:
If speed is your thing then get a class 4 or 6 but I had SD mounted as read only with a class 4 8 gig Kingston SD, so I swooped with a buddy of mine for a class 2 SD from a Nokia n95, no problems since then.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilemedic20:
I'm currently on CM7 which I flashed over Nightly #38. I'm liking it, but I get some reboots and stuff, so I want to do a fresh flash after wipe.

However, I'd also really like to format my SD card to clear any bad sections on it and hopefully prevent it from getting corrupt (just as a housecleaning item). I figure I also might as well update to the latest clockwork recovery at the same time.

Could someone put down some instructions on how to do these things safely, or post a link? I'm not sure if formatting the SD card will screw with Clockwork recovery, or what order I should do things in, how to do them, etc. REALLY don't want to brick my phone in trying to do the right things!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
1 - Download ROM to SD Card.

2 - Copy the contents of your SD card to your computer, so you have a backup!! Very important!!

3 - Update to the latest CWM recovery.

4 - You can have your phone format your SD card, or if your computer has a SD card reader you can format it from your computer. I've done both, with no ill effects.

5 - After the format, boot up the phone and copy the SD card backup that you copied to your computer back to your SD card. Reboot into recovery, and flash the ROM you want to install.

Good luck!

EDIT: The one issue I did run into was when I formatted my new SD card with my computer. I copied my files over from my computer to my SD card, put the SD card into the phone, then booted it. The phone deleted (maybe reformatted...?) the contents of the SD card, and that is why making a back up is so important! I was able to just copy the files back over, and that issue was a one-and-done issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilemedic20:
Thank you, but I should have been a little clearer in my OP...

I'd really like to just start from scratch with my SD card, i.e. clean it off and start from new. I will be sure to back up the current files that are on there, but there's a lot of crap I don't need and rather than sort through it all, I figure I'll just format and then add stuff back on that I find I need. How do I do that safely? Are things that MUST be present at all times for Clockwork to function, or whatever?

Also, why would I add the ROM on before formatting - won't the formatting just erase the file?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I probably was confusing here: I thought adding the ROM to the SD before formatting, you could then copy everything over off the SD card. You can certainly just d/l the ROM to your computer and copy it over that way too.

CWM needs the clockworkmod folder, which is where things live including any ROM backups you may have.

Depending on the apps you have installed, they may have created a folder. If you don't have those apps but have those folders, you can delete them if they don't contain anything you need. There are folders there that Android will create upon first boot with a freshly formatted SD card.

EDIT: I adjusted my prior post with *hopefully* steps that aren't confusing.
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
I'm working on a new sleep issue theory. very severe button bounce.

For the past 24 hours, I have been waking my gtab by placing the right end against my chest, and using a finger on the power switch, I jab the button as hard and as fast as I can.

This has so far solved the wake to birds problem. If you have this problem, try the above, as hard as brief as you can, and see if it helps.

I am a handheld hardware designer, and I REALLY do not like the metal snapdisk under tape style of button used for the power button, they do not have good life, and degrade with time.

Please post your results. May be worth a designed fix.

[G Tablet General] squashpile:
All my sleep/screen issues were resolved after re flashing clemsyn kernel on VEGan. I was not having any issue with TNT and moved to VEGAn and had issue every time the screen timed out.

When I would touch the power button it was either already powered off/rebooting, not waking up or not giving me the menu. Since kernel reflash, one quick push works every time.
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
Various roms/kernels and complete wipes have affected the problem, but none totally solved it. I'm looking for folks that currently have the problem to test this for me.

Also, if I'm on the right path, more and more gtabs are going to start to have sleep issues as the crappy buttons fail.

My wife's GTab worked flawlessly from the box for almost 2 months, now. Same kernel/rom as mine. But in the past week, she has started to get "the birds" when she pushes the power button. This trick works on hers, too.

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
Nobody else having wake from sleep issues? reboot instead of wake?
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
I had many sleep issues last week. Well, actually my Gtab (tnt 4.2.2), not me..:D

I found a temporary solution that works ok for me for a few days. Go to Android market and search for "Power Button" (there are paid version and free version). I use the free version.

Instead of pressing the POWER button to sleep or turn off the screen, I click on the "power button widget" to place my gtab to sleep. Then, I press the "VOLUME" button to turn it back on. Somehow, I found that the "POWER" button is either too sensitive or insensitive.

Good luck!
[G Tablet General] machine73:
I too have had issues w/ the power button. Am currently testing sleep fixes, but really always thought in the back of my mind it might be a power button issue.

3 days ago I had my tab sitting in my Malata dock, set the alarm to wake up, went to bed 4 hrs later and my screen was black.

hit the volume rocker and no screen. hit the power button...no boot. held the power button...no change. kept pushing buttons randomly and tablet finally rebooted after 30 mins of dinking around w/ the buttons.

I also have issues w/ the power button getting pressed w/ my chest. sometimes it powers down, sometimes it goes to sleep.

tested w/ button pushing styles.

1. quick press will either put it to sleep, or give the prompt window. It's random.

2. long press will produce the same results.

3. quick press to go to sleep then quick press again to wake, then quick press gives option window of sleep or shut down.

cannot replicate any sequence as each type of press gives different results.

I was beginning to think my sleep issue was software, but it may seem to be an issue w/ the power button.
[G Tablet General] intech:
I wonder if its a memory leakage issue?

It happens to me but I assume its all the apps running, some trying to access the net while asleep . For me its not button related: its a crashed system. Sometimes reboot is longer.
[G Tablet General] intech:
this is a known issue. If you wait it eventually wakes up, reading over the dev change log this was mentioned. Not the button, but it might be if it keeps being over pressed
[G Tablet General] gtablet4us:
I have tried the "tap tap" app (power button) app + using the volumn to wake up my tablet. It has been working for a few days without any issues and around 50+ (sleep + wake).
[G Tablet General] machine73:
I also noticed that I only have the issue when connected to power adapter.

Running from battery does not produce the issues above, only while connected to adapter.

That seems more like a hardware related power management issue.
[G Tablet General] atwickard:
I've only noticed the power off /sleep problem when docked.

I also have no idea how I get it to wake up, I usually just mash random buttons for a bit and it boots.
[G Tablet General] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
Same here, the tap tap app works great for me. It shouldn't be necessary, but it's not that big of a deal and something I can live with for the price I paid for the tablet.
[G Tablet General] jhermit:
I installed Tap Tap and it works great for going to sleep. How do you get the Volume to wake up the tab? Is there another app to install?
[G Tablet General] fpga_guy:
It seems that rebooting after sleep is depending on the what the apps do. On TNT 2.4 by roebeet, installing Google skymap will cause it to reboot when trying to resume from sleep.

On 4.2.5, installing TScalibration causes the same problem. I had to restore from a backup to fix it. It seems that if the app dives deep into the hardware, the problem occurs.
[G Tablet General] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
I didn't do anything, it just works that way, I hit the volume down key and the tablet wakes up...
[G Tablet General] inane69:
I just got a new gTab and installed TnT Lite 4.3.2 last night. Anytime my screen turns off the device is done, I can't wake it back up. Tap Tap App turns the screen off but pressing the volume or power button doesn't bring it back. Just a long press on the power restarts the device.
[G Tablet General] nebunezzar:
I've run across something potentially interesting (or perhaps already known, speaking as a wooting noob), but I had Pandora playing once when I put my gtab to sleep and had the waking problem. I could still hear music, but no physical or capacitive button would wake the system back up. Ended up holding down the power button for a few seconds to turn off, then again to boot it.

I can't consistently reproduce the issue, but maybe it's a button problem more than a sleeping problem. btw this was on TnTL 4.3.2.
[G Tablet General] inane69:
I just tried that and had the same issue. Music kept playing, clicking on the volume rocker would make the volume go up and down but nothing would bring the display back on.

I can reproduce this behavior anytime my screen turns off. :(
[G Tablet General] inane69:
I wanted to update my experience... I've switched to running the cyanogenmod 7 beta2. The sleep issue has gone from something that happens anytime the screen turns off to being a random occurrence. I've gone an entire day without seeing it at all and the next day it has happened a couple times.
[G Tablet General] dgstan:
While I certainly agree that the power button is somewhat squirrely, I've found that installing "Load Monitor" and setting it up to prevent deep sleep remedies the sleep issue.

I just reflashed Vegan last night and had the "sleep of death" problem consistently. Put Load Monitor on and the issue goes away.
[G Tablet General] inane69:
Since I removed fancy widgets I have yet to encounter the sleep bug... sucks cause I liked that one.
[G Tablet General] wiihunt:
I also think widgets causes the sleep issue. After I removed my widgets, I haven't seen the sleep issues since. I am using Calkulin + Clemsyn Froyo Combo

[Galaxy Tab General] masterbox:
Different sizes of products have nothing to do with firmware updates. Those products can have the same hardware base, and then have the same firmware easily, which would not increase maintenance costs.

I think a 8.9 size is a really good choice, like my eeePC 901, which is the perfect size in my opinion, except too fat :)
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
Digging around in those articles I found this regretable news:

Tablets should be bigger than 7 inch says samsung exec...

[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
They have a 7 and a 10.1 inch Tab, is there a need for an 8.9 inch? I just think they should provide their phones and the Tab with the firmware they should have by now before expanding their product range.

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab General] ResonanceZero:
I wouldn't mind a very slightly larger display... but only if the device gets *absolutely no wider* and not much heavier. I could deal with as much as 1 or 2 cm longer, but the 7" tab is now exactly at the border of being able to fit into my pockets, and for some pockets I have to take the case off as it is. If it gets any wider at all, even by 0.5cm, it fails the portability test, and if it's not going to be pocketable, I don't see any reason I wouldn't prefer a 10" device. I'm already kind of at the comfort limit for one-handed reading weight as well, though I could probably absorb a slight increase.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4ft:
Hey there, Atrix owners. This question is aimed particularly at those who have owned an iphone before:

How does the Atrix compare in the area of screen responsiveness relative to the iphone, especially when typing? As a pro-android user, I have been constantly let down by many phones that often boast the 'latest' and 'greatest' features of a smartphone but can't get their touch screens right, which in my opinion, often ruins the experience for me.

Of course, I would like to hear others' opinions as well, as excellent screen responsiveness is becoming a priority for me when purchasing a smartphone. (I currently own a x10. Needless to say, this phone has fallen short of expectations and I am never purchasing a SE phone again).

"Sorry, multitouch scrolling is not a feature of the Lapdock. It sounds like a test version of the trackpad is in the store model. This is not something controlled by a setting or phone software, so unfortunately there is no way to enable it.

As an alternative, there is a function key on the right side that you can easily use with the Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys. Mouse scroll wheels also work, if you have a USB or Bluetooth mouse connected.

Again, sorry about the confusion. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks."
