This is why you don't update a rooted phone unless you use an RUU. Download the 2.29.405.5 RUU from this link and then root once you're done:

You might wanna try a hard reset first, though, as this might solve it. The radio is correct as it's included in the ROM. I have no issues with anything on my phone

Your link is pushing suspicious download manager instead of file itself, so I would appreciate if you could remove it.

Seeing as the link is over 4 years old it's no surprise it doesn't work any more ;)

Anyone know which CWM and kernel I need to successfully flash Koascinate?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othan1:
I have Torque which displays the speed at which the phone is going. Unfortunately, it is not calibrated properly and I'm unsure as to how to calibrate it.

I've read all the relevant threads on normal calibration (yamaha util, built-in Horiz Calib tool) but have not found one thing about calibrating the speed to 0.

Oddly enough, I did attempt to use the tools mentioned but it made it worse. Instead of being off by .5, it's now off by 2.5.

Anyone have any ideas or keywords I should be using to fix the issue?

Mostly unrelated mini-rant:

-----------------------------------------------

Why do we have to wait 30 seconds on the search? If I don't know the exact phrase or word, I have to waste a LOT of time trying to find anything. This is why I never berate people for asking questions over and over around here; it's almost impossible to use the search function efficiently.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bighuta:
Because it makes you take that 30 seconds to actually READ the results, not saying that you specifically don't, but the searcher. Who knows, you might actually find the answer amongst the myriad of results.

Again, this is not geared towards anyone, but in my experience, it has been beneficial to me to read thoroughly all the results.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othan1:
If that was the case, I'd never know there was a 30 second time out on searches. I read more quickly than some others. Please note, I am not implying or insinuating that people who read more slowly than me are dumb or otherwise viewed by me in a negative light.

But when the search shows no results (as it more often than not does), then where is my recourse for efficient searching?

The nice thing is, however, when you go to post a new topic such as this one, it gives a multitude of similar threads which surprisingly works much, much better than the actual search tool. So my workaround sometimes (such as this) is to start a topic and then read through the related ones even when they're on separate boards. None of the threads presented to me had anything to do with the issue I have.

I know you put the qualifier of "not saying that you specifically don't" but your first sentence seems personal to me. Perhaps it's because of the directness of the pronoun, "you."

I just want help and help that I can actually use without having to brave the attacks and insults many people are so very eager to share here. Hence the request for keywords because I am not perfect and I may be spelling incorrectly, using the incorrect term, etc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bighuta:
I apologise for your feeling offended. Again I stress that it was not geared toward any specific person. I was merely explaining my logic on why there is a 30 second rule. You asked the question, i just gave you an opinion. I guess only moderators could answer for you. Who knows I could be completely wrong.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gremlyn1:
Speed is based on GPS, there is no other way the phone can tell how fast it is going, unless you're using Torque's OBD2 connection feature. Grab the app GPS Test and see if the speed works there for you. Should be all the same, since as I said, it' GPS based. I just pulled up both Torque and GPS Test and have 0 mph.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] othan1:
Oh, I wasn't offended. A lot of people use the pronoun "you" when they really mean a general audience. I just wanted to make sure...on the boards, a person can't tell from text alone at times. We're all good. :)

@gremlyn1

Yup. Talking about Torque. After doing the horizontal calibration and rebooting a few times, it finally took and zeroed itself out.

Thanks for y'all's answers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mushmaster:
Nope. Its because if they let you search more frequently their server hardware would be brought to its knees. Sites enforce rules like this to limit the number of database queries.
[Nook Color General] the_joey_o:
Hello,

I'm looking to get a ROM that boots off of an microSD card (leaving the internal memory of the NC stock and not rooted) that is relatively stable and has good flash support for playing videos on youtube, listening to podcasts on google reader, etc. I am a bit of a n00b. I don't want to mess with the stock B&N OS. It's a very good eReader. So, the idea of a dual-boot option sounds great to me! I was able to get honeycomb flashed to a microSD card and working on my NC. I was surprised by how easy it was! I was also able to figure out how to get the Android Marketplace working, although that wasn't easy (I hope this gives you an idea as to my level of incompetence). So of the available ROMs out there that support flash and that boot off a microSD card, which is best for somebody n00bish, like me?
[Nook Color General] pbcal:

Are you trying to say you use the phone on AT&T in USA?

Try switching phone to GSM/UMTS in settings instead of 'global' I remember having some issues with ring back tone while in global mode using GSM network which went away once I switched to GSM/UMTS only.

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
[Droid 2 Global General] MotoCache1:
Yep. Other than the undesirable behavior of the call progress timer, it works perfect. Although the data works great, I keep data disabled because on AT&T prepaid data costs like 1 cent per kilobyte. That doesn't seem like much until you think about 1024 kilobytes in a megabyte which means you're paying $10.24 per megabyte which is insane. Fortunately I can bring up 3G Mobile Hotspot on my DX (which has unlimited data) and tether my D2G through my DX and have full Internet. It sounds retarded, but the only time I use this setup is when I need my DX to do mobile VPN for work, and then use my D2G for voice calls. AT&T prepaid is only like $1.99 a day for unlimited voice and text, and you only pay on the days you use it (which is almost never for me).

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually I was already in GSM/UMTS mode but tried switching it to "Global" mode. Unfortunately the behavior was the same.

Somehow I imagine if I trot down to the Verizon store to ask them about it they won't really be super inclined to help. I have considered trotting down to the AT&T store where I bought the prepaid SIM and seeing what they think. But I don't imagine it would be good for much other than the amusement of their confusion.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Droid 2 Global is configured so it doesn't get service with any GSM/UMTS provider located on the teritory of the United States of America. How is yours working on AT&T is really a huge surprise to me and many other members of this and other online forums.

This so called "band lock" (google for Droid 2 global band lock) can reportedly be circumvented, but there is no publicly available method to do it. Unless you got yours 'band unlocked', it is not supposed to get any service from neither AT&T nor T-Mobile. Or maybe you bought it from someone who was working on this 'band lock'

Could you share more info with us?
[Droid 2 Global General] MotoCache1:
The phone has been unlocked with the TBH/DBU unlock. It is running 2.4.29 firmware and has to stay on 2.4.29 for the unlock to be preserved. The unwanted call progress behavior (the purpose of my original post) has been tested and confirmed on another phone running 2.4.330 so it's not a 2.4.29 issue. I'd bet that all of the Blur dialers probably do the same thing (disable tones after Send and until the call progress timer starts running). Just in CDMA mode the call progress timer starts running as soon as the call starts ringing and in GSM it waits for an actual connect signal. The D2G is truly like two complete phones in one, so seeing this type of disparity in behavior between the two different modes (I assume when in CDMA mode it would work just like all other CDMA models and not have the issue) isn't really surprising at all. I would expect that anybody who is using the GSM mode of their D2G would have this issue when dialing into a conference bridge or calling card provider where the "connect" signal is not given until after all of the secondary dialing has been completed. It would seem however that this issue would have come up before since I can't be the only person that works for a huge company and spends most of his day dialed into conference bridges for meetings (and might just want to dial into those meetings from his spiffy GSM phone).

I've been though the AOSP source for the phone/dialer before (when troubleshooting something else), so when I get a chance, I'll go through again and find the section where it enables and disables the tone sending. I'd guess it would be trivial to remove the part that disables tones during the period between Send and call-progress-timer-start, compile it, and just replace the dialer on the phone. I've been through all the build.prop and everything else hoping a setting would jump out at me, but no luck.

About the TBH/DBU unlock -- after the unlock there's nothing special about sticking an AT&T, TMobile, etc. SIM in there, but I only have first hand experience with the AT&T. I just went into the local AT&T store and told them I wanted to buy a prepaid SIM. They asked what kind of phone and I think I told them I had a Samsung Captivate (not that it really matters). The SIM was basically free and I put $25 on it. Stuck it in the phone, changed to GSM/UMTS mode, phone blurred while it was changing modes, and now has AT&T banner on the lock screen. Pretty much a non-event.

I didn't get a chance to go down to the AT&T store yet, but I plan to. If nothing else I'd like to test calling into the same Sprint calling card number from another GSM phone -- especially an Android phone if they have a working model there -- and see if it too has a problem.

Sorry for rambling. I hope I addressed your questions.
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
My friend MotoCache1 is the "other" member of TBH, just an FYI! ;)

We haven't discussed the status of the band unlock on XDA out of respect for the rules here regarding paid services.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Well, that explains the things :)

Btw- mine is on Rogers Canada, i can use comma to add pause to dial extensions conference bridges without issues.

However, when I try my Telus Canada sim in, when I dial number, dialer says hang up, 00:00, then connects the outgoing call, sort of like a call back service, but without ringing back - hang up, then the very next second call connects and phone issues ring back tone. But this "hangup" on the middle prevents me from dialing extensions or conference bridges bu using pause in the number dialed. Everything else is fine (data, messaging/etc). So it is kind of crippled on Telus. Wonder if it is the same thing you get on AT&T.

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
[Droid 2 Global General] MotoCache1:
Hmmm. Interesting. Forgive the ignorance, when using Rogers is that CDMA? Or are you using GSM for both carriers?

I tried the same scheme, using commas in the dial string, but unfortunately the phone doesn't ever get to the part after the commas because it waits for connect before continuing the dial string. I don't get the hang up behavior you describe though. I'm a complete newb to GSM, so what I'm about to suggest may be stupid, but I wonder if the carriers have any sort of call handling parameters that are stored on the SIM?

I happened to be in a VZW store to get an extended battery for my DX and asked them if they had a demonstrator D2G in GSM mode so I "could test a bug I read about on the Internet". Moments after the question left my mouth I realized I was stupid for asking it, and he confirmed that by saying "no, we can't use the phones in GSM mode because GSM on that phone doesn't work in the US". Oops, duh.

He asked what the bug was and I told him. He said that he hadn't heard of that, but it sounded like something that would be fixed in a software release. He looked to see if any such releases were listed for the D2G, but found none. Surprisingly (to me anyway) there is a recent release listed for the D1 to fix an "unwanted recipients" problem (for messages), and some other thing (I don't recall).

I'm at Bike Week right now (sitting in the bath tub typing this on my DX -- yay Swype) but will give the AT&T store a shot when I get back. I'll also borrow a buddy's Tmobile SIM and see if it behaves any differently. He has an actual Tmobile branded android phone, (a Samsung, but I don't remember which one right off) so I can do the conference bridge test on his phone too.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Both Rogers and Telus now sport GSM/UMTS (Telus only UMTS) networks. Gone are the days when Rogers had CDMA network, almost 10 years now. Telus still has CDMA alive, but they are phasing that out. My CDMA radio is sleeping, until I get to the States next time I guess (my D2G is active on a pay-go plan) I will be doing some travelling in May/Jun across Europe, so I will try with european sims too.

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
[Droid 2 Global General] MotoCache1:
Thanks for the details. Interesting that you see two completely different behaviors just by changing the SIM. That leaves the question of whether the difference is due to the way each network is handling the call progress, or if it is some sort of information on the SIM itself that makes the difference.

I looked into SIM editors to see what sorts of things the various editors claimed to be able to read/edit on the SIM. I haven't seen anything along the lines of call processing characteristic parameters, etc., so I'm leaning toward the difference being in the signaling received from the network. I'll be able to get a better idea of what's going on when I get back home and can experiment with a Tmobile SIM, and/or put my AT&T SIM in another phone and see what it does.
[Droid 2 Global General] MotoCache1:
OK, back from Bike Week (last week actually) and grabbed a T-Mobile SIM. Really odd results. The very first call I dialed on the T-Mobile SIM, the call timer started immediately, and I could send DTMF tones immediately. Every call since then has exhibited the same behavior I was seeing with the AT&T SIM -- the call timer doesn't start until a formal connect happens (which the calling card and conference bridge sites don't send upon initial connect -- thereby preventing sending the tones to access the service).

I spent just a little time going through the source code of: [platform/packages/apps/Phone.git]/src/com/android/phone/CallTime.java and found the spot where the call gets switched to "active":

/**
* Sets the call timer to "active call" mode, where the timer will
* periodically update the UI to show how long the specified call
* has been active.
*
* After calling this you should also call reset() and
* periodicUpdateTimer() to get the timer started.
*/
/* package */ void setActiveCallMode(Call call) {
if (DBG) log("setActiveCallMode(" + call + ")...");
mCall = call;

// How frequently should we update the UI?
mInterval = 1000; // once per second
}

I started looking around to see "who" all calls that and right off I only see CallCard.java calling it. I was expecting to see it called somewhere in PhoneApp.java (after observing a connect or something), but it's not called there.

There's lots of hunting yet to do, but I wanted to post progress in case anybody out there cares.

In some hunting I happened to stumble on a pretty detailed page outlining the exact same problem on an iPhone. It's understandable that this type of problem might exist and persist on a closed source device like an iPhone. Fortunately, something like this should be very solvable on an open source device.

I haven't had my buddy with a T-Mobile issued Android phone (Samsung Vibrant) test this yet. That's on the "to do" list.

More updates as I have them.
[Droid 2 Global General] MotoCache1:
So what I've figured out on this is that you pretty much just can't use conference bridges or calling cards on a GSM phone. I've used my Tmobile and AT&T SIMs in a bunch of phones now:

1. Droid 2 Global

2. Droid Pro Global

3. Motorola Napoleon

They all do the same thing. Heck, the Napoleon isn't even Android - it's Windows Mobile. I also tried with my friend's Samsung Vibrant (which he has on Tmobile) and it does the same thing -- call timer never starts running and if the call timer isn't running you can't generate tones to put in your access code for the conference bridge, etc. Apparently the AT&T iPhones do the same thing, so again, this is a GSM thing.

Which begs the question again -- doesn't anybody with a GSM phone need to call into conference calls? I was under the impression that most big companies used conference bridges for most of their meetings.

Anyway, when I get some time I'll get back to taking a stab at hacking on the dialer -- just no free cycles to tackle it right now.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
It must be something with that conference bridge you are trying it on. I know many phone switches do not connect the call while you are in the IVR/menu trees - it is usually done in order to avoid inaccurate call metrics on the receiving end. We are running a contact centre in our company and I know how important this is (and we do it to - we don't connect the call until operator answers the call). Billing is not supposed to start until call is connected on the receiving end. Apparently GSM operators like T-Mobile and AT&T care about call connect parametter and Verizon is simply ignoring it, I guess.

Hello there,please act like i'm a dummy when explaining things :)

I've bought an HTC Desire about a month ago and it took me 10 days to understand the process of rooting and flashing a custom rom.So i bumped to a thread on development, RCMixHD v3.4 and i really wanted to flash this ROM to my device, the problem is i don't know what A2SD, D2WE, D2EXT do and how to. So if you'd be kind to explain why i need those and how i can flash etc those things, I'd be more than glad (i'd jump and screen on my chair) :)

Searching for A2SD, D2WE, and D2Ext will give you lots of hits that will explain in detail what they are and do. Basically they put apps and/or data on your SD card to allow you to install more apps.

[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
I haven't read about this problem anywhere, so right now I don't know whether the problem is caused by the Blur libs, or my files:

I've encoded a few CD's to HE-AAC (AAC+) with NeroAAC. This is because I want to store a lot of music and AAC+ seems to deliver the best quality at the smallest size.

The problem is that the Milestone 2 ignores Tracknumber information and the included cover art. This is quite annoying: the Connected Music Player downloads the wrong covers for my albums (Keri Hilson's No Boys Allowed get's a In A Perfect World cover and so on...)

That's not the biggest issue: the most annoying is the fact that an album isn't played in the right order. Most of the time it's something like this: start with #1, #10, #11, #12, #2, #3, #4 and so on... If an album has a tracknumber 21, it'll be played after track number 2...

It really annoys the hell out of me! I've tried my best to tag every song correct, yet the information is ignored...

My old Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 doesn't seem to have any problems with it. Even Windows Media Player is fine with the files.

Are there more people with this issue? Is there a solution? Are there people who can try te reproduce this problem?

We all know that I can ask Motorola for help, but their support via Facebook really, really sucks.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Seriously... There's no one who even has a reply to this?
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Right now I figured out a few things:

1. When encoded with QuickTime, the tags aren't read correctly. Using NeroAAC tags are read correctly, but Album Art is still ignored.

2. DoubleTwist player seems to have a good influence. It reads the album art and updates the Android music library. Because of that the CMP get's to use the correct album art.

I also replaced the aac libs with those from the Droid X, but I actually don't know if that was a true fix.

Just for the ones who were still curious...
