Run ADB logcat on your computer. Aftet plugging in HDMI, press pause/break on the keyboard, and copy the contents of the terminal window.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
There you go sir

[Atrix 4G Android Development] KryptosXLayer2:
Probably the best advice on this thread. Couldn't get it to work using the ADB method which rebooted the device on it's own, then I rebooted it and hoped for the best.... here's what happened:

VERY awesome work! Congrats on the link from Engadget too! Looks like the Atrix dev section ISN'T dead after all....... who would have thought? :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmhs2004:
is there a way to change resolution to 1080p?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] booster944:
logcat attached
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fenny:
We really should be seeing something from the HDMINVDM in that log.

Even without those 3 apks that service should be chiming in...

That log is only about 17 seconds long, you sure you got the part where you plugged in the hdmi on there?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Yes sir, I'm telling you, the phone doesnt even flinch. Nothing at all. Like I wasn't even putting anything in there. Let me go get another one.

There is a new one: http://pastebin.com/esqcSdN5
[Atrix 4G Android Development] booster944:
there is no reference to hdmi in mine either, when i plug in, the screen detects a signal, but its kind of scrambled, and no popup comes up on my phone, when i plug my droid x into same screen, same cable, i have no issues, just to make sure it wasnt bad port or cable
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fenny:
Okay, well, let's try replacing the files with the backups that that script made.

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /mnt/sdcard/WebtopModBackup/DockProvider.odex.bak /system/app/DockProvider.odex
cp /mnt/sdcard/WebtopModBackup/DockService.odex.bak /system/app/DockService.odex
cp /mnt/sdcard/WebtopModBackup/PortalApp.odex.bak /system/app/PortalApp.odex
cp /mnt/sdcard/WebtopModBackup/DockProvider.apk.bak /system/app/DockProvider.apk
cp /mnt/sdcard/WebtopModBackup/DockService.apk.bak /system/app/DockService.apk
cp /mnt/sdcard/WebtopModBackup/PortalApp.apk.bak /system/app/PortalApp.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/*
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Edit- Nevermind
[Atrix 4G Android Development] booster944:
So i did the above commands and then i did the chmod 644 /system/framework/*, and now i have a boot loop! any guesses as to what to try next?!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
Funny that you were able to do that line of code. My script didn't make any back ups.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ananta.c:
I love my Antix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so simple to operate and I like the features.

5 Stars for the solution.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] booster944:
i adb pushed the files from my /system/app backup that i had from my original system
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
SO I have done this before without a hitch, after a reset and other fun stuff Im running it again and I noticed a line that said not enough space on the device. Should I clean house on the sdcard and try again or check the three apk's for confirmation?

Edit: Never mind, just ran webtop looks all clear and the mod reapplied without a hitch
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Fixter:
I got it working. Sorry for making you guys waste time, it was something on my end from some coding testing that I was doing. :) it looks and works amazing! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
Do I just use the 3 apk files and copy them to System/App via Root Explorer? I dont know how to use ADB but I am rooted with Root Explorer. Just copy the 3 APKs to the SD Card and copy from there to system/app? Please someone help a new guy :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] untilcomplete:
thank this works great! this wont add that tethering option to my bill will it? when i first booted up it popped up something about checking for authorization..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
That's how I did it. I also moved the original files to the sd card ext. I did have a problem when moving the portalapp.apk file. It seems to put the phone into a FC loop for some reason so all I did was pull the battery and started it back up and it fixed the force close problem. Just remember to change the permissions and do another reboot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ranova:
Does the easy install require your phone to be deoxed?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Terrigno:
Crap I think it does. I didnt Deoxe it before I moved those APK files. Now I have APK files and everything moved with root explorer with permissions set and a non working HDMI output now. Crap I dont know what to do.

I dont know how to use ADB and for the life of me I just cant do it. Anyone have the original APK files so I can replace them back to make it go back to normal? Please help.

Edit: Put original APKs back, gonna try it now to have it work normal.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I'm still working on a few things on the changes I'm making with the log file that is created when comparing two PRLs but I have finished the analysis of a PRL.

Let me know if you see any corrections of SIDs, EV Subnets, etc.

I will be updating this website with change logs and analysis' as soon as I have them.

www.batonrougebroadband.info
[Epic 4G General] Leviuqse:
I noticed the new 76 prl is a little bit bigger in size than normal..
[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
Ha! This is just the kind of thing I've been looking for! Thank you for doing this.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
This is a little off topic, but has anyone had trouble updating their PRL? Since upgrading to EB13, my phone seems to be stuck on "The network is updating your PRL. Please wait" message :confused:
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I was looking through and noticed some carriers have a higher priority over others. Is there any way to edit the prl to prioritize networks differently?
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
That would be awesome, but it has 'trouble' written all over it.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
I finished up some changes on the app to correctly show the changes between the PRLs.

The 60675 to 60676 change log is up.

I'll keep up with the PRLs and post them to the site as the new PRLs come up.
[Epic 4G General] megabiteg:
My phone stayed a long time on that pop_up screen but then it stated that it needed to reset the radio in order to apply the changes. It disabled my radio and just stayed like that... after a few min, i saw that it wasnt coming back, so i set the phone in airplane mode and disabled the airplane mode and got working.

Thats never happened to me in the past.....

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Hey I can trek you the exact changes when I go to work. I didn't know that y'all cared or not. All the sprint representatives get news on the PRL updates and what is changing before they happen
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Those would be cool to also have but many times they do not tell the full story such as in 60674 they added all the Sprint evdo channels to a lot of the roaming sids so if you force roam your phone will use sprint evdo and the roaming sid for voice and sms.
[Epic 4G General] f0xblade:
I did, so I tried flashing back to DI18 to see if froyo was the problem. The downgrade didn't help. On my second call to sprint, the tech tried reseting the switch for my phone. That fixed the problem and I can update my PRL on EB13 (stock) now.

Before the fix, every update resulted in an "internal error" or an "unknown error". Also, I was having the same isue with profile updates.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Well usually what they tell us is what cities were changed and why they were changed. Like 75 was for Michigan and Alabama because a contract ended with another roaming company and Sprint didn't renew it.
[Epic 4G General] RSPC:
Thanks for doing this.:).
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Two things we were given at Sprint. Also attached is a detailed list of what exactly changed and what counties in the states. Don't tell anyone you got it from me ;)

"Effective 3/1/11: CDMA Network Coverage Changes for MT, ND and WY

Strategic Roaming Alliance (SRA) provides seamless Sprint like experience for customers in parts of Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming. CDMA customers living in or traveling through these areas do not have a roaming indicator displayed on their devices, are billed as on-network usage, and are not treated through the Heavy Roaming Program.

On 3/1/11, this SRA coverage will change to off-network/roaming coverage.

All CDMA customers were notified of the coverage change in their January and February invoices via a bill message.

This will be an ETF waivable event only for subscribers who have used service in these areas in the last six months. Account notes will be placed at the BAN level when there are subs on the account that qualify for ETF waiver.

The website www.sprint.com/coveragechange is available for reps and customers to view the coverage changes.

"Preferred Roaming List (PRL) Release for MT, ND and WY

Sprint will release PRLs ending in xxx76 to servers on Tuesday, 3/1/11. As mentioned in the 2/23/11 News article

Customers traveling in these areas will still have access to voice and 1xRTT data roaming, however, Mobile Broadband/3G roaming will no longer be available.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Sprint will release the above PRLs ending in xxx76 to servers on Tuesday March 1st . These PRLs will

provide: Changes to Strategic Roaming Alliance (SRA) coverage in several counties (below) *Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming. This SRA coverage will change to roaming (off–network) coverage (effective 3/1/11). Map view of the changes before/after changes is included in the Newsflash.

1. This PRL will turn the roaming light on and usage will be billed as roaming. A separate

marketing initiative has taken place to notify customers of this change in January 2011. You

can read more about the initiative on the Quick Reference Brief on your Sales Portal.

2. Customers traveling in these areas will still have access to voice and 1xRTT data roaming,

however, Mobile Broadband/3G roaming will no longer be available.

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Even though it goes unmetioned...Alaska was also changed too.

Alska is now full roaming as well with no Sprint service.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Jeez bad news all around.... Sprint should ask the fcc to force att to fulfill alltel's roaming obigations like they do with verizon.
[Epic 4G General] hockeymike:
I qualify for an ETF waiver. What does the "BAN level" mean?
[Epic 4G General] slosvt:
My wife's epic constantly gives the same error. I guess she needs to call Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
BAN level is your account status. BAN means Account in some way
[Epic 4G General] hockeymike:
Sorry if this sounds impertinent, but is that a complete sentence?

What I'm trying to figure out is if I exercise my ETF waiver, what will happen to my account? Can I cancel my contract, but continue service with the same number on the same account without porting out?
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Its exactly what he said. BAN (billing account number) level means account level.

As for your previous quote about notes being placed at BAN level if there are subs that are ETF qualified... don't know. Maybe its something about an entire account being ETF waived rather than just a line/subscriber? Not sure.
[Epic 4G General] hockeymike:
Ah. That makes sense, then. When I see ban I think "banned from service". I guess I'll call Sprint and see what I can finagle.
[Epic 4G General] ichefae85:
Was looking at the back of my epic and saw 4 holes labeled R1/G, W1, R2 and W2. What exactly are they?
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
either voltage testing points or external antenna ports.
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Saw that when I first got it and was wondering too?
[Epic 4G General] DevinXtreme:
Four points for voltage testing seems a little weird to me.

I'm pretty certain they're antenna ports for the various antennas in the phone (WiMax, 3g, 1x, and WiFi).
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
They sure look like antenna connectors...

Which makes me wonder why there aren't backplates with extra antenna inlaid.
[Epic 4G General] mrzood:
When I had my epic apart I was curious about these, they LOOK like connectors but when I tried to connect a wifi antenna out of an old broken laptop they definitely aren't actual connectors. I'm guessing they are just test points.
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
They ARE antenna connections. There are several small antenna connection types, and the ones that you find on mini pci-e wifi cards aren't them. Samsung sticks with one type, and I'm just too lazy to post what they are. I'll go ahead and finally order that external 4G I've been putting off for so long....9db gain may extend the range quite a bit. This question pops up every 5 weeks or so ;)
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
Please post the link. I would be interested in this as well.
[Vega General] rferrett:
Posted this at modaco as well.

Any views on if it will be possible to get a hold volume down shortcut to get to CWM recovery to save having to nvflash whenever we get a big problem?

Or is this a hardware thing that isn't possible to fix?
[Vega General] rferrett:
Over at MoDaCo AdamG poisted his start on this before he got rid of his Vega.

http://android.modaco.com/content/a...od-more-standard-method-for-booting-recovery/

So hopefully it is doable.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Just thought I'd share the case I picked for my Inspire. You can buy it here:

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Thermoplastic-Polyurethane-Universal-Silicone/dp/tech-data/B004PJY8P0

And, no, I'm not the seller lol

At a first glance, it doesn't look very cool, but their picture on Amazon is just crappy and doesn't represent what it really looks like. So, I took a couple of pictures for you to see:

Sorry for the big size, but I wasn't gonna spend time editting pics for this purpose. Overall, it's thin (which is the way I like for my cell phone cover), gives you good grip but doesn't collect dust, and has a semi-transparent cool look to it. The best part is, it's only $7! (+shipping = about $10).

I know it looks a little bluish in the pics, but it's the lighting. It's actually the same color as the back metal cover of Inspire 4G.

I'm pretty happy with it. Oh, just so you know, the free silicone ball stand is a junk, so forget about it. I already threw it away. It doesn't bother me because I wanted the case, and it's a good case for the price!

[Nook Color General] bugggie1:
Has anyone tried burning the images to the uSD while it is inside the Nook Color and connected to your computer via usb? I don't have an external reader with me and I was wondering if doing things this way is even possible. Would it mess anything up in the Nook?
[Nook Color General] runhopskipjump:
No and yes. If you know what you are doing you could use adb or terminal to dd exsisting images to the microsd. But it is just better to buy a cheap reader and don't deal with the hassle of commands. Just buy a reader and keep your sanity. Since you are asking this question I am assuming that you aren't yet familiar with such things. Neither am I. Please do yourself a favor and read before you try or ask anything. Good luck

Does anyone know if using your Android phone would work? I could put it into CWR and enable USB mount. I can't imagine anything being wrong with that, but has anyone tried it?
[Nook Color General] bugggie1:
Found the answer to my own question. Can't post links but in the nookdevs faq.

nookdevs.com/Nookie_FroYo:_Burning_a_bootable_SD_card

There is a note that says:

"Devices with integrated card readers (cameras, smartphones, the Nook itself) will often not be able to rewrite the partition table and won't make bootable cards. Dedicated USB card readers are ideal."
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
This post is not to start a flaming war against any of the devices using any of these chips.

I just wanted to start this post for information.

Im a bit concerned with the geforce ULP which shows only around 20-30% increase over the previous PowerVR 540 chip.

The PowerVR 543 is supposed to be a multicore version that is much faster than the PowerVR 540 (Also, the PowerVR543 dual core is rumored to be in the ipad 2)

Additionally, the new adreno 220 has been showing off its tech and is rumored to be in the new dual core qualcomm chips.

The problem i see is, that while the dual core CPUs seem to be equally matched in terms of A5 vs tegra 2 vs dual core qualcomm, the geforce ULP seems to be heavily outclassed by the powerVR 543 (perhaps even the single core) and the adreno 220.

Does this worry anyone?

I know that the games coming out for the tegra 2 are looking quite amazing, but at the same time people are saying no low framerates, and when I looked at dungeon defenders HD in the store, the framerates, while playable, where not that high..

If the ipad 2 is going to have a dual core PowerVR SGx543 then it is going to crush the geforce ULP. And the adreno 220 looks to be a high performer as well.

I feel apprehensive jumping into a technology (the tegra 2 with geforce ULP) that is already heavily outclassed by its competition (ipad 2's A5 with power VR 543)

I dont want to get into a competition between iOS and honeycomb - and I agree that it depends fully on how the developers utilize the chip - but with such a huge performance difference, I can see developers making more amazing games with the faster chips.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
The Tegra 2 is fine for gaming. It can handle its own. Media playback is an entirely other issue and the Tegra 2 is a failure in that regard.

We haven't seen either the Adreno or the SGX543 benchmarked yet at all, so its too early to say they are better than the Tegra 2. Also, I feel as though Nvidia is going to be pushing for a lot of games to be made specifically for the Tegra 2. If that is the case its going to fragment the Android market even further.

Its not fair to look at the Xoom's benchmark due to the much higher resolution skewing results downwards, so lets look at current generation phones:

You can see the best performer right now is the old SGX540 clocked at 300mhz. I would bet that the SGX543 is a monster.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
The tegra 2 was rebenched after that using the viewsonic G-tablet and it did better than the SGX 540.

Refer to:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4144/...gra-2-review-the-first-dual-core-smartphone/8

and

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4054/first-look-viewsonic-gtablet-and-tegra-2-performance-preview/2

(on the last link - look to the bottom of the page with the "updated" benchmarks
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Those are the exact same numbers. 25.2 for the Optimus 2x. 18.9 for the G-Tablet.
[Xoom General] DarkDvr:
Judging by these articles - Tegra 2 is doing great.

Besides, nVidia is excellent when it comes to updating drivers on their GPUs and working with game devs to help them use the GPU's potential.

So, if they do the same for their ULPs, we should expect frequent Tegra 2 updates and great games coming.

Actually, even now, a mere week from release - check Tegra zone and see the amazing games that will be released this/next month. Mindblowing.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
I agree NOW that it may be the fastest - but in one week when the ipad 2 comes out - it will supposedly do LESS THAN HALF of the ipad 2 graphics capability - thats a huge hit in performance.

THis means that the ipad 2 can handle a class of games far above what the tegra can. Its just unsettling is all.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
The iPad 2 is not going to be 2x faster than the Tegra 2. The graphics processor it uses will handily beat the Tegra 2, but not by 100%. It really depends on how many cores the SGX543 has. Wikipedia says it can be anywhere from 2-16 cores.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
i guess we will find out on march 11th

but if the SGX543 has 2 cores and each single core is faster than the tegra 2 geforce ULP, then combined it will likely be 75-85% faster than the tegra 2 (i agree no more than double)

Having said that, that is still a huge upgrade.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Don't forget the Tegra 2 has EIGHT cores in the GPU. Can't wait to see the anandtech review on the iPad2. Gonna be interesting.
[Xoom General] chris2busy:
well ipad 2 was released and although an apple hater i do have to admit..we gentlemen have been obliterated..its a dual 543..everything android devices had to offer so far has been surpassed by double the ammount..was considering the atrix,but certainly not gonna buy a device incinerated already, as it is...xoom is still a great tablet and honeycomb an amazing os...but i think its time price is lowered..we have been outclassed twofold.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Its not released yet. We will see the benchmarks when anandtech releases their review. Anandtech released their Xoom review the day before launch. If they do something similar for the iPad2, we will know in 2 days.
[Xoom General] chris2busy:
well you kinda know the ooutcome without waiting...each sgx543 core outperforms a tegra2 by roughly 50% ..with 75% more fillrate,huge shaders e.t.c ..and since they went dual core on gpu, well..they should be around double in performance terms against xoom,maybe more,given xoom is running on higher res..what IS surprising is that samsung made the chips for them but still on their own products chose the lesser exynos/t2..
[Xoom General] mormegil83:
Wasn't it pa semi and intrinsity that made the chips for apple? Samsung also works with intrinsity to design their soc.

I've read a rumor on I want to say anandtech, that the CPU cores of the ipad 2 may only be 1Ghz cortex A8 vs our dual A9s. That gives us a heafty lead in the computing department. Also just because a mobile gpu has the potential to be rediculously fast, doesn't meant it actually will be when used in the soc. It it depends on frequencies and bandwidths as well. For instance the TI omap4 uses the same gpu as galaxy s, vr540, but handily wins benchmarking due to its dual A9s and dual memory channels. And if you guys are worried about cores, we basically have 4 split into eight, so eat your heart out, dual core gpus!

The fight definitely ain't over yet fellas! Have some faith in nVidia!
[Xoom General] chilre:
I'm not very sure about the architecture of mobile GPUs, but if it is in any way similar to those of desktop GPUs then the number of cores and the core speeds matter only upto to a certain extent. If you look at AMD GPUs, they are filled with a lot of cores (~ 800 is common) running at pretty good speeds, while the equivalent NVidia GPUs have about quarter or even less cores (~200 is common with the newer fermi cards having more cores) at usually lower speeds . But NVidia makes up the performance with its memory bandwidth. The end result -- both GPUs have a similar performance. My guess is it would be the same with these mobile GPUs. Just my 2c.
