[Droid 2 Global General] rikimontano:
guys, i can help with the real unlock code, i bought 3 codes from a "Verizon Tech support guy" and he sold me the real ones, not from ebay, just for $43
[Droid 2 Global General] arturocr:
Do you know that the unlock code is dependant of the phone IMEI?
[Droid 2 Global General] rikimontano:
yes i know that and i tried more than 4 different code providers for my droids, i guarantee that i can provide the REAL code for your imei
[Droid 2 Global General] arturocr:
Nice! And how much do you want for a code?
[Droid 2 Global General] rikimontano:
$43 for the real code, so there's $40 for the code i pay and i just want $3 for a coffee :P, this works with droid 2 global and droid 3, guarentee of work or full refund,

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbypty:
Hi all,

I've been having some random reboots w/ my N1. I got the ATT version w/ 2.3.3 Gingerbread (Latest OTA) Also happened while running Froyo

Not rooted, all stock.

Carrier Cable & Wireless Panama City, Panama

I have already wiped the phone via the security menu and via the recovery boot and doesn't work

I have tried to recreate the problem but I haven't been able to isolate to a particular application or moment that could cause the problem.

Could the 3G data connection cause the problem? I also read about overheating but the problem is completely random.

I would appreciate any tips.

Alright here is the log.

My guess is that this is like when Windows creates the minidumps when you get a BSOD. Let me know what to look for and again thanks for all the assistance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbypty:
I think I might have traced the problem to the charger. If use the phone for browsing, youtube, FB, IM, email etc etc. I can open all the apps and use them w/o the phone restarting but as soon as I plug in the wall charger or USB data cable it starts restarting. I have to remove the battery and then put it back and power on and let it charge until full. While charging I can use some apps but I try not to use the phone that much since it might restart.

The phone is the usual warm when is charging so I doubt is overheating

Anyone having this kind of problem?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbypty:
Giving up

Well after a few months trying to figure out what is going on with my GN1, I decided to call it quits and call HTC to get a replacement.

My guess is that since the problem happens mostly when the phone is charging it could be a overheating problem. The same thing happens when you have a portable or desktop computer with overheating problems, it either starts rebooting, becomes really slow or shuts down.

Lets see if the replacement works better or I will have to sell the phone and maybe go back to iOS. :-/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtarek16:
Hi all,

I have started the long process to "hopefully" de-brick my G1. I have a question though, I have the HTC ExtUSB-3.5mm converter, so I know I can use it for the serial cable, the problem is I don't know which wire connects to which pin, could someone possibly help me with that ?

Fwiw, here's a low-res photo of my cable : (Can't put outside link since this is my first post)

I can provide a higher-res version later if needed, I just don't have the good camera right now. :-)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtarek16:
OK, I was able to identify the wires by breaking the 3.5mm jack open. There's a small labeled board inside. I'll post pictures soon when I have the camera.

I'm trying to fix my boss's phone.

Phone won't get past LG logo. Tried connecting with adb and device is not being recognized, although when I reboot into "emergency mode" and connect via usb, I get a prompt on my Mac asking if I'd like to use the phone as a modem.

The phone is not rooted and used normally. It just happened out of the blue one day. No exposure to moisture or drops.

Is it possible to flash the stock rom/factory restore without root access?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ivaaN:
Try to do a wipe

Press Home+Vol_down+Power in this order when you start the phone, and hold them during the LG logo
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Wipe won't work, as the phone is on stock ROM (no custom recovery menu). But there is a way - read this. It's a lot to read and a few more links to follow, but it will pay off, because it works.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sinax09:
yep. it works 100%. I bricked my o1 3 times already and it worked for me every time.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
You may be able to restore your phone to factory settings by pressing and holding the Home button and Vol down while pressing the power button. It will enter in recovery mode (stock roms have a sort of recovery where it restores you phone to factory state). It will reinstall your os and native apps, but you will no longer have your contacts, sms, pictures etc...

If not, just go with what masteryx told you.

How can I display the notification screen without tapping on the top status bar?

Meaning, I have big fingers, so it's difficult to tap the thin top status bar to display the notifications screen (the screen that shows connection status, new text message notices, etc).

So, I am looking for a way to create a shortcut that will display the notification screen without the hassle of trying to tap on little status bar to display it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In Android we can do that but in winmo i don't know.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zimaia:
Ok,

found a solution, install mortscript and then just run the attach script

you can assign this script to a shortcut in screen or assign it to a hardware key

this script is only a mouse click simulation. if you change the coordinates you can point the shortcut to perform a click in a different screen location

done

[Atrix 4G General] native12:
hey all!

I'm struggling with this wifi sleep policy = never and it's refusal to work! I'd like to have reliable voip, but with the screen off, so goes my wifi! It seems as though if there is persistent data ( Pandora ) wifi will remain connected when the screen is off. I've searched this forum and others....it seems to be a consistent issue amongst various android devices - I even purchased a Adv. Wifi Lock application and tried several free versions all claiming results, but to no avail.

Has anyone solved this wifi sleep policy = never issue on the Atrix? ( in fear of being thrown into the whiner category, I still must mention that without this feature = deal-breaker )

Perhaps, I'm interpreting the policy wrong and what it really means ( wifi sleep = never ) is that wifi will not have to re-auth when the screen is back on???

TIA!
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
You're correct, if your wifi never sleeps it stays connected at all times, where as if you have it set to sleep it will break the connection and go into a low power (Still on but not connected to your network anymore) so when you turn your screen back on it connects faster to Wifi because it doesn't have to power on.
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
I believe what you are actually asking is:

Why does WIFI shut off even when set to NEVER when the screen goes off and there are no processes running.

So if a process is running that uses data connection you dont have an issue, but if not it shuts off.

1) This is an Android problem and has been since before Froyo (it was heavily vetted on the N1 boards, some solutions, still Android issue)

2) Are you saying that if you have the Data APN off and Wifi = Never you cannot get push email? Have you tried?

My money is that you do in fact have Wifi = Never working, but under Android it only means that Wifi = Never doesnt shut it down if a process is using it and the screen goes to sleep. It doesnt mean that wifi is always connected and being pinged even if nothing is using it. That is the issue to resolve with Android.
[Atrix 4G General] vista1984:
for android, normally, in the wireless setting =>(menu key) advanced, there's a wifi sleep policy there.

is it what you mean? if yes, i think that is a bug., if not, go see if it's there.

also, in developement setting, there is a "stay awake" option, which allow you to connect the wifi. it works when it's charging.
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
Yes that is what the OP is talking about. The setting is there.

The problem is how you define Never.

OP thinks NEVER = Always connected so all services run through wifi

Andrdoid thinks NEVER = Connected if a streaming service is running prior to the screen being turned off. Then when that service ends wifi sleeps.

Also with regards to the development setting, that means it keeps the screen on when charging, had nothing to do with wifi. Most annoying setting there is.
[Atrix 4G General] native12:
Ahhhh.... I see, I didn't have on my little green THINKing cap ;) I indeed thought never actually meant never, even with no active data streams. But now I know, I have to start thinking like a droid to become one with my android. I'll check the market to find an application that tries to keep-alive by sending data packets or write my own. Thanks again snlu178!

UPDATE: Wi-Fi Keep Alive does the trick. Use Work-around #3. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.shantz.wifikeepalive&feature=search_result

- it pings the gateway every 10s - not ideal, but it works and drains your battery just as well ;)

Be careful of this, your battery will be toast in a couple hours.

Hi,

I've been trying to get the FM radio tuner working on my O2 serra which currently has radio version 1.14.25.32 on it. The tuner does work, but the reception is extremely poor and I have tried various different headphones, but none show any improvements. The thing is, I remember it working better than it does now, basically it seems to have degraded, but I don't know at what point, I'm not sure if flashing newer radio versions has affected it at all and therefore I have a couple of questions:

1) Does the radio version actually affect/control the BlueTooth/FM/wifi chip ?

2) Are there any settings or registry entires that can be changed to improve the reception ?

3) Is there a better radio version I should be using ?

When I start the FM radio app. there is a ot of static and the signal strength is full up and I can hear faint radio stations, it won't auto tune in to anything accept my FM transmitter use in the car, even then the signal strength only goes up to the 4th bar.

Sorry for all the basic questions but I've searched and read lots on here but nothing to really answer these question directly.

Regards,

Andy

P.S. I'm actually trying to get TMC working with hypergps, but the reception is making it useless. I even tried it connected to my car antenna with some improvement, but nowhere near enough.
[G Tablet General] n2thecloud:
Not sure that the "selling my g tab" threads are making sense to me. Or that they represent the majority of the faithful fans.

So I wanted a "keeping my g tablet" thread.

1. Ok, if you wanted an ipad they just dropped in price, but can you really go back???

2. Xoom is still at least 200 more right now. You can buy a laptop for 299 easily.

3. Some other dual core tegra brands "may" come out, but that is still iffy at best and they still cost more.

4. HC will come out and be supported by the devs on g tablet.

So do you have any thoughts here?

I am keeping my g tablet and really enjoying the freedom of android tablet fun. Try Dungeon Defnders to see the real potential of this HW!

[G Tablet General] sixvoltsystem:
Unless something gets donated to me I'll be keeping mine for a while, since i sold my netbook to get the g-tablet, plus a dozen or so odd jobs to pay for it. Work is bad and money is worse, so I tend to be Mr. Bargain pants.

Thought I should add I love it, as do the kids and wife ;)

Just picked up mine a few days ago as it was the best decision I have made :D. Can't Really see the need to a motorola xoom (other then the 1GB Ram and 1280x800) and won't go with ipad (they don't even have emulators.... so sad).

Now if I could just find a good case
[G Tablet General] chili_red:
Got mine two weeks ago after doing some extensive research on which one to buy.

The viewing angles aren't great but don't bother me at all. Keeping till something comes out in the same price range with all around better hardware "screen, processor, memory, etc".
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Keeping mine, as well. If anything else, it's a good Tegra dev unit.

I can fully understand why some people are jumping ship, and I did get a Xoom myself (on the super cheap). But the Xoom still has a LOT of problems to be worked out.

I'd still like to see HC on the GTAB - that would be the icing on the cake, AFAIC.
[G Tablet General] kgvico:
Love Gtab

I am not a Gtab owner, I am getting one actually. Before I made the decision, I was thinking to buy a Galaxy tab also (similar price, better screen but smaller size, and I feel Samsung is a better brand) ...I am talking about the sprint galaxy tab of course (T-Mo's and ATT's are more expensive) ......At the meanwhile, there is way more support (xda devs) for the Gtab than the Sprint galaxy tab....so, all in all, I chose Gtab, best tab in $300-400 price range so far..

ps: ipad 2 is coming soon, and we all know the 1st gen ipad has huge price drop....ipad is great, very good in quality and performance.. but..I just don't like apple, coz it is not customizable...
[G Tablet General] lordgodgeneral:
I plan on keeping mine as well, and I'm probably one of the few people on here that could care less about HC. To me its great eye candy, but it seems like we would loose way too much in terms of a trade off till google does some updating on it. (USB, MicroSD, etc...) I'd be perfectly happy if we could get some updated drivers for the Gojimi's Ginger Vegan. Now that would be sweet.

Apple is a status symbol and I have never been into that :-) Would have considered an Ipad 2, but I much prefer the Android Platform and believe it will overtake the iPad/iPhone.

Not sure how a skin would improve viewing angles, could you pop up a pic at an upward angle for comparison? I swear, I want to love this thing, but the screen is kind of cooling me on it. I think it really is something I'd spend another $150 for if the rumors of that wifi Xoom are true.

i use mine for news, web-browsing, email and writing. along with a few other random things like wordwise (words with friends doesnt align exactly right for me), and twitter (so i can keep up with the daily bits o' wisdom of colbert, charlie sheen and gilbert). it also kept me from going cabin crazy during recent flights, watching some shows i had recorded. for all of these things, this thing is perfect. i dont get the aggravation over the viewing angles; but then again, i havent played around with other tablets for comparison. i also dont use it much for gaming. i have a ps3 for that one. so yeah, im definitely keeping mine. i havent regretted the purchase for a single moment- thanks especially to all the devs on these boards.

btw, do tablets really need a second camera on the rear? i cant imagine someone holding up a 10" tablet to get a picture of their wife in front of the white house
[G Tablet General] gpzjack:
keeping mine...unless another model meets some specific need i see no point in getting a different one. For me every other tablet out or coming out is missing some piece of the puzzle not to mention most are much more money...anything over what i paid for my gtab and i could buy a absolutely killer laptop so why bother. The people that are running from gtablet to go to xoom etc are going to be the same people jumping from that to the "next big thing later" have fun pissing your money away.
