[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afterlife1991:
ok thanks ill try it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorTom_:
anything you don't understand ask cuz we don't want anything to go wrong.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afterlife1991:
ok so i flashed a new rom and all went well. now when i try connecting to wifi (no dataplan) i cant for some reason. wifi starts but doesnt find my router. i try scanning and wifi turns off. i think its the new rom.. wifi worked fine before. what should i do??????? maybe find another rom??

btw i flashed android 2.3.1 gingervillain 1.4
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Please just go read read read the guides and stickies. You'll be glad you did later when you dont have to keep asking questions to simple answers. And you'll be able to troubleshoot for yourself.

Things to think about:

1) Use ROM manager to make backups before you change anything significant

2) When switching roms, do a full data/cache/dalvik cache wipe before flashing

3) Don't do anything that you're not sure on. Research before you brick your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Do a reboot (Usually these 2.3 builds require a reboot to fix WiFi). Did you wipe data and cache before flashing? You can also try a fix permissions.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afterlife1991:
i made a backup so its ok. and yea i did a data cache wipe.. ill try a reboot thx guys
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Afterlife1991:
thanks alot marton.. reboot fixed it. feel like a total newb lol. should have tried that earlier
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
No worries. Glad I could help.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] FNugget:
I feel like such a noob for asking.

How to delete preinstalled ringtones

How to delete preinstalled notification tones

How to add notification tones (without an SD card)

It's MotoBlur causing all these troubles for me, not Android, right?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
none is causing trouble. To delete, you first of course need root. mount the system. then you can delete and add and just reboot to have it take affect. Navigate to the directories below to delete or push your new sounds over to them.

system/media/audio/ringtones

system/media/audio/notifications
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] FNugget:
ES File Manager, cannot paste. Eh? I'm rooted though?

Is it easier to use some other file manager? Or some app to chmod? Or is that terminal only?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
you can use root explorer. es file manager, is that a root browser? if so you have to mount read/write before you can edit.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] FNugget:
ah and a reboot
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
yeah in post 2 i mentioned you need a reboot for it to take affect. glad this is solved haha.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] youngWMuser:
you will need to root, make sure you have moto mediascape installed on your computer so you have the drivers and software installed,

after you have rooted, you simply open up a folder that is within your atrix's memory, it will state "RINGTONES" just slip your ringtone in there and go ahead open up ringtones from your phone and set it to whatever you have installed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
Hi guys, about to go from 2.2 (rooted, speedmod kernel, ext4 lagfix) to 2.1 stock using odin3. Do I need to go back into recovery and undo the lagfix before using odin or will it take care of it for me?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
No need. Odin 1 click would take care of that for u. It re-formats the whole file system RFS.

Before u do that, did u make sure ur phone build is 10.09 or earlier?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phrenicthenub:
Nope, 1010 so I will not be using Odin 1 click. I`m ok to use the Odin3 with manual loading of files right?
[Defy General] nikmash232:
I was gonna get a Defy thursday morning and my brother was telling me that the touch screen has problems. Is this true even now? or has it been fixed?
[Defy General] MarSOnEarth:
Seems your brother heard a bell but doesn't know from which church tower it came from; the only common (and quite widespread) problem the early Defys have is with the handset's speaker. The newer hardware builds apparently have addressed the issue.
[Defy General] Erra:
My screen has been wonderful, especially coming from a horrible SE handset before.
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
What problem? Only 2 touch points? Yes, defy supports only 2 touch points. It could be a problem for some games, eg Fruit Ninja. No big deal though.
[Defy General] 4l3ph:
it's a problem also music instruments :(
[Defy General] nikmash232:
that's probably what he was talking about.. hmm shouldnt be too much of a problem i guess
[Defy General] Jt612:
occasionally mine stops being responsive and is really slow but if you toggle the screen off/on it fixes itself it's liek its locking itself or soemthing... only mildly annoying and i think im the only one with the problem...
[Defy General] rcauinian:
Mine is not slow but it keeps on locking itself after I ugraded to froyo 3.4.2-117 UK :(
[Defy General] fruktflugan:
I have had no problems with the touch screen at all, and I haven't heard anything from the community about any "problems"...

I would start questioning what your brother is saying. I bet he wants you to buy HTC or something like that, right? :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rabeatz:
I like using my android phone as a remote for my HTPC. However, if I am switching between apps or opening another one (XBMC, Hulu Desktop, Boxee, etc.) It's always a hassle to use the little mouse. Just wondering if there's any sort of application that will allow me to send commands to the PC to open an application, preferably one that's a remote app. Right now I use unified remote, and it works perfectly, minus not having the ability to execute/open a task. it does have a task switch though, which is nice.

If i knew how to develop an app, i'd totally do it myself... but i really don't know where to start.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rabeatz:
I think I answered my own question. Turns out Unified Remote has a beta, which has something similar to this. It allows you to access the start menu from the phone, and select the application to launch. Perfect!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rabeatz:
Without trying to seem like i'm talking to myself here.. the beta of unified has been a bit buggy and incosistent.

Anyone know of anything else that accomplishes this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pedsy:
Hi guys,

The wife and I received some shiney new Inspires from GSMNation yesterday which are compatible with the Telstra NextG network.

All was good while playing with it last night. Connected it to the home network and was playing with all the online apps etc.

When I went to work today I found I couldn't connect to the internet at all.

All the call and sms stuff worked fine but no wireless network.

The option was ticked in the settings and looked like it should be working but if I untick it then tick it again it shows up as "Turning on.." and just stays like that.

Is there something I need to change in some settings somewhere?

I just don't know why it doesn't just work. This is still just on the original AT&T ROM.

Internet works with the same sim in my old N95.

This is my first Android phone so I don't know a hell of a lot about how it works.

EDIT: Never mind. I just found out elswhere about putting in APN settings. Never had to do that on the N95!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
did it fix it for u?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scanlia:
Hello, I have the same problem, what do I have to do in the settings to get it to work? Something with the APNs? My APNs Screen is blank.

Hope this helps.

You could also just make a goldcard and flash a custom Rom like Revolution 4G, it comes with Telstra APN's already selected.;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scanlia:
Wow, thanks! That worked fro everything... now the Internet from Telstra is even as fast as Wifi...

Hmmmmm, liked you mentioned, I need to make a goldcard, and flash a custom ROM, but which one? I'd also like to overclock, maybe just to 1.4GHz or something, nothing major, could someone point me in the right direction?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wiingy:
I suggest using r34p3rex Video Tutorial along with the hack kit. As for overclocking, i am not too sure, Revo goes up 1.22GHz, probably just personal preference.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhinolouie:
I have a MyTouch 4g and I recently rooted and installed rom manager and the premium version as well. I followed the steps via youtube video and was trying to download the rom Cyanogen 7. (forgot the numbers) I first made sure to backup my current phone via rom manager then i proceeded to install the new Cyanogen rom but once rebooted it was stuck on the cyanogen boot menu. I then booted the phone to recovery mode hit recovery which brought me to the rom manager recory mode. I accidently hit backup instead of restore and now there are two choice for when i go to hit restore. I just want to get my phone back to the way it was before my trying to flash the rom. any advice? once again sorry for the noob question.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dirk:
Just select to restore your original backup.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhinolouie:
when i go to do so it freezes on the mytouch 4g boot screen. I've even tried to do a factory reset but it keeps bringing me back to clickworkmod. and i hit the option wipe data factory reset and i click restore now and it has the same effect. I'm about to smash my head into a wall. All I want is to go back to the original way the phone was.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] smaskell:
Hey guys,

you may have seen the new app iDisplay. I thought the idea was pretty cool but when I went to install it, it said "this item is not compatible with your device." I sent an email to the devs and they got back to me very quickly but weren't very helpful. So, I figured I'd try to get it working myself.

What I did is, I plugged my monitor in to my computer twice, once through dvi and once through hdmi. This makes your computer think that there are two displays plugged in.

Then, I set up a vnc server(tried both realVNC and TightVNC, both seemed good). In order to get this to work I had to go to "windows firewall" in the control panel, click advanced settings. Then I went to inbound rules and clicked "new rule." I selected "port" then "tcp" and then put "5900" in "specific local ports" box. You can name it whatever you want.

Finally, I downloaded a vnc client on my android device. I found that androidVNC crashed a lot but Remote VNC Pro w/ Ad seems to be working well. Then I just entered the IP address of my computer(you can find this out by typing ipconfig in a command prompt) and put in the password I had set with RealVNC.

Unfortunately, this shows the whole display(or both displays, depending on how you look at it). You can zoom in on the part though. If anyone figures out a way to get this to only show one of the displays, let me know.

I hope someone finds this instructions useful. It's a bit slow and it doesn't work perfectly, but I've found it kind of handy for having a chat window open on the side.

Thanks,

Samuel Maskell
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HJ200:
Thanks! It's slow but it works. It's also possible to click "Connect to a projector" in the Screen Resolution Settings to add a new monitor

srry for reviving a old thread, but it might be helpful for newbies :D

PS: NVIDIA Control Panel can be used to create a custom resolution, in order to fit the device
[Atrix 4G General] johnnobts:
For some reason, Firefox is working just fine. Never got a notice it was checking my tethering account with ATT, and I did not change my APN settings. I plugged in my phone immediately after running system task killer, killed as many programs as I could, and then docked it. Wifi still off, memory at 46%. Maybe I inadvertantly killed an app used to run a tether check somehow. Anyway, its a nice surprise.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, apparently wifi was running on the phone after all, but didn't show on wireless settings on the laptop status bar.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] for_ever:
Hey I want to root my phone with eb13 and flash the genocide 0.3a overclocking kernel to my phone for the oc and the video lag fix... the only problem is that im really new to this and have already semi-bricked my phone before, so i want to make that it doesnt happen again.

I wanted to know if how to flash the kernel and if i could do root it without messing with an ODEXED ROM (to avoid possible errors). Please be as specific as possible.

Any help will be greatly appriciated, thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solblack:
I wish for the same thing. I've tried 4 times now to get CW3 working and have had to use Odin 4 times now so I can actually use my phone. I've read for hours and still can't seem to get it to work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostmypistons:
if you really want your epic to be epic try this

odin back to stock with eb13 in pda box make the only thing checked in options is auto reboot. Run it you will now be stock sprint

Go here...[MOD][One Click Root] Clockwork Mod version 3.0.0.5/6 - UPDATED FOR EB13! 3 Attachment(s) read and do it. Now you will be rooted.

Now for the good part copy fully loaded version of the ASC Syndicate Rom Frozen to your sd card and load it using the 3 finger method. Read all instructions and youll be fine. If CM3 gives you a problem turn off your anti virus when you DL it and run it
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raylusk:
Just use the cwm 2.5 one click root on your stock eb13. Put the genocide kernel on your sd card and flash using cwm. User set cpu to overclock. That's what I did and it works great.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] for_ever:
Okay thanks, but I barely used the update.zip so am I 'completely stock' I think. I'll just root with oneclick root 2.5 and flash genocide kernel with clockwork...seems easier...

This probably a stupid question but I don't need to put any custom roms on my phone to make genocide work, do I? And just to be sure... to flash genocide... I just boot my phone into recovery mode(hold power, volume down, and camera) and apply the zip? Do I need to rename it?

Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] for_ever:
Wait I was just reading... which kernel is the most dependible/fasted: Genocide kernel or twilight zone kernel

Both can overclock to 1.2Ghz. But according to the twilight forum, twilight has a lot of battery optimizations... is it that much different than genocide?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostmypistons:
There both good. Ive tried them all and so far sydicate/twilight/cm ext3 combo is by far the best I have ever used period
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] for_ever:
Okay so I can use one click 2.5 to root my phone and then boot it up in cockwork recovery mode(power,volume down, camera) and flash the twilight or genocide through there?

Do I need to rename the zip?
[Fascinate General] ksbc616:
Ok...Im on SC 2.6 now and I did charge charge charge charge and charge my batt then turned off the phone and charge charge charge charge till said 100 then I did wiping the batt stat through the terminal emulator but not sure it really helped me for the batt life though....should I do that several times or one time should be enough???
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
After you wipe the battery stats, you have to repeat the charging process to get it to the max battery (otherwise new stats at the same spot will be created, resulting in no real improvement/change).
[Fascinate General] djp952:
+1

I am of the belief that after a battery stats wipe, android must assume that battery drain is completely linear from 100% to 0%, which is not how lithium ion batteries work in general, and every battery/device can be slightly different.

AFAIK, there is a fairly steep drop from 100% (~4200mV) to about 90%, then it levels off and drains more slowly until the battery is kinda close to dead (~2900mV) and then there is a very steep drop-off in power/voltage to 0%.

If you don't run the phone through a full cycle or two, it won't know the pattern of your particular device/battery and will likely assume there is notably less % than there really is.
[myTouch 4G General] Spectral8x:
I really just wanted to make a thread because I cannot believe how much more I can get out of this device than my previous. I had an Epic 4G previous to this and switched back to tmobile because I got back on a family plan to save me some money. I was expecting to not get as great of device with the mytouch but I liked the price and that it was 4G. After rooting it flashing CM7 and the new kernel. Holy crap my Epic4G is garbage.

I just jumped back into the development thread and they finally have an OC kernel for 2.2 and they are pulling 16's in linpack and 1150+ in quadrant at 1.2gHz....I put my CM7 at 1.2 and I pulled 37.8 in Linpack and 1890 in quadrant . When I bump it up to 1.8gHz I pull 63.5 in linpack and in pull 3048 in quadrant.

I'm just stunned at how well this device has performed in the few days I have had it!
[myTouch 4G General] Spectral8x:
Oh and I forgot to mention that my battery life is WAYYYYY better. Haven't had to plug my phone in all day and ive been using facebook and texting all day. 12 hours and 40% battery still left! WOOT!
[myTouch 4G General] ags29:
Welcome. I'm also a Galaxy S converter and have never looked back. This phone will definitely hold me over until a good 4.3" one comes out on tmobile.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Agreed. I liked the Vibrant but look at how hard of a time they're having just getting CM on it. While every thing can be ported to the MT4G such as CM, sense, and even MIUI. I know dual cores are right around the corner but I can honestly say that this phone will last me the full 2 years of the contract. Everything is blazing as it is, don't need to spend hundreds on a dual core when I won't even notice the speed increase.
[myTouch 4G General] HTCMDA:
FYI, I get higher linpack with my stock, non-overclocked MT4G than you do with CM7 and Higher quadrant than your CM7 at 1.2, And I'm stock, no overclock. But at 1.8, You win... so IMO CM7 is worthless, unless you just want that gingerbred looking jazz and don't like sense.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
I got my gf a Captivate shortly after I got my MT4G and I felt a little embarrassed once the difference in quality became apparent. We still talk about her getting her an MT4G of her own when her contract with AT&T is finally up in like 9 months.
[myTouch 4G General] TheBiles:
The pretty AMOLED screens are battery murderers.
[myTouch 4G General] TJBunch1228:
Screenshots or it didn't happen.
[myTouch 4G General] BlackSHELF:
Well what did you expect? thats why they call it stock as it has so much BS bolts its not even funny, IDK why you didn't just try IG. Thats the beauty of CM7RC1(ASOP2.3.2) as its modified for performance and power consumption with nice balance. Don't let the synthetic score get to your head as it means nothing and no way does it translate in to real world performance. Soon as I got MT4G in hours I rooted and put IG on it as CM7(GB) NB came out from Alpha most of us switched to the darkside :P no need to look back.

Plz lets not start a pissing contest here or trust me ill put up SS none of you can even come close to achieving, it means nothing BTW far as I care he got 70 linpack and 4000 on quadrant.
[myTouch 4G General] TJBunch1228:
Did you just say not to start a pissing contest because you can piss the farthest? IROOOOOOONY

Besides, I only said it because there is NO WAY stock non-o/c'd MySense can perform better than CM7 at 1.2ghz. Either in real world performance or some arbitrary benchmark figure. Just not happening. Unless of course you mean the awesomeness that is FRIEND STREAM. CM7 got nothin' on that goodness. :rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G General] BlackSHELF:
Ya I am a big hypocrite :P thats why I gave the warning. But far as your first comment goes I was just saying if you guys start it ill just simply end it just go look around for my SS as my power, memory is 3x more efficient then what you are using. For the second part I myself can't verify this as I only had stock rom for less than 1 hour before I got rid of that POS. If he says he got it then let him what diff does it make? If you call a cow a goat not it don't make it a goat now does it?
[myTouch 4G General] TJBunch1228:
lol your comment keeps getting edited so I cannot respond to it, but I will just say it's all moot as we are agreeing to agree. Good day, sir. I SAID GOOD DAY!
[myTouch 4G General] BlackSHELF:
Its okay FEZ :P
[myTouch 4G General] BCD90:
Yes the mytouch 4g unrooted as an amazing phone. The mytouch 4g rooted is another story. I use royalginger rom and i have never had such a fast smooth running phone. Overclock to 1.8 and its unreal. Benchmarking at 3200. Best phone ever owned.
[myTouch 4G General] dementor123:
I have to agree though stock is not bad, mt4g/royalginger combo is the best!
[myTouch 4G General] TheBiles:
CyanogenMod > kanged copy of CyanogenMod.
[myTouch 4G General] TJBunch1228:
Won't argue with you on which is better. But will say RG 1.6 runs smoother, faster and better on my device than any version of CM I have tried. So I guess take that FWIW.
[myTouch 4G General] oak25:
some one said their lady has captivate? lol my lady has a fascinate lol... she hates her phone and loves mine :))))
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
That was me. :)

I finally ended up getting her an Inspire 4g because she loves Sense so much. Totally stock and she's happy.
[myTouch 4G General] colbyrainey:
What kernel are you using with CM7? I just use the one that came with the stable version? Where can I find this kernel you are so happy with???
[myTouch 4G General] sleepyfu:
Stock is pretty good.

One more

[via XDA premium]
[Off-topic] xzillerationer:
I have a theory that Google intentionally leaves the stock apps horrible as to let the third party replace them, therefore bolstering the quality and quantity of apps. It makes sense, considering the only app you really can't replace is the settings(im sure if you tried you could do it with root). I have no evidence, but it would work to, again, improve the third party apps.
[Off-topic] bruce guo:
I agree, and I guess that's Google borrowed form Apple.
[Off-topic] lude219:
...no. I don't really see it.

You have people modifying Ferraris and Lamborghinis left and right with body kits and exhaust that deviate the car away from the tried-and-true formula that is akin to those companies. Similar to android, it doesn't matter how good or stable of an OS it is or what it has, if there is a need/want for something, someone will have an app for it because, ultimately, everyone has a different taste. The ideology of Google/AOSP, which is different from Apple, is to give developers a clean plate to personalize their phone while providing support for the core system. It has nothing to do with supplying "horrible" first party apps.
