[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I understand what you are saying, though I will point out that I thought the original post made it clear enough that you need to flash gsb, flash gapps before you reboot the phone.

Just to save you time later, when there are any updates to GSB, you still have to flash gapps right after flashing the gsb zip before you restart the phone, even if you are flashing over GSB without a data wipe.

Anyone know if there is a way to get the trackball notification to work with a text message arrives?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I'm not on 1.9, and haven't tried it, so ymmv.

On 1.6

Settings -> CyanogenMod settings -> Interface -> LED Notifications -> Miscellaneous -> Messaging

seems to work for me.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
You have to change the color to white for any app for which you want trackball notifications. Green or amber will light the LED.
[Folio 100 General] jmgers:
Hi All,

I'm getting a bit frustrated at the minute :D

I ordered a Folio 100 on 10th Feb from a national education provider (we get a discount from them), a week later we got a call to say Toshiba were holding back delivery until they got Adobe certification and the device would be delivered in March :confused:

I phoned them again yesterday and got the same spiel and when I pointed out this was March they admitted they didn't know when it would be delivered.

Anybody know when in March the Folio will be available in the UK?
[Droid 2 Global General] yzak47:
Does there any apps can do both of it and I am using stock rom . I tried" status bar setting " and able to control wifi or bluetooth there , but no idea about the music control after searching so many time on the market.
[Droid 2 Global General] xander0306:
wigetsoid does that, you can put custom controls in the notification drop down
[Droid 2 Global General] yzak47:
well thats cool!!

but one more thing , any apps can place the running task in the notification bar? just like the htc sense does
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corruptsmurf:
Okay, so I'm definitely new at this. I've had my MT4G for about 6 months, but the stock UI is already getting sluggish and buggy, and I've had enough.

The extent of my experience with all of this is using Visionary for TempRoot and backing up my protected apps to my SDcard using the console. Now, I've read a lot of articles, forums, watched some stuff on youtube, and I feel like it's about time for me to PermRoot and get CM7 on my MT4G.

SOME QUESTIONS (Answering any or all would be very much appreciated):

1. Does the dialer in CM7 work the same way it does in the Stock UI? I'm referring to how you can input several digits or letters of a contact's phone#/name and it will search your contacts, making the most relevant matches appear in a bar above the dialer. I love that feature, wondering if it is in CM7.

2. If I decide I want to go back to the Stock MT4G UI, no root, nothing out of the ordinary AT ALL, S=on, is that possible once I've got PermRoot, S=off, and CM7 installed?

1a. If so, can you please link me to the most stable way to do so?

3. What is currently the most stable way to PermRoot the MT4G, and could you please link me to site/forum?

4. Is there anything I can do before beginning this process to protect my device against bricking or give myself even a faint chance of salvaging the device post-brick?

5. [DUMB QUESTION] I'm pretty positive it does, but does CM7 have functional Swype?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
1. no

2a. no

2b. yes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924923

3. define stable? but this works if you know what you are doing

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_myTouch_4G:_Full_Update_Guide

4. no

5. no, but you can install it easily
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Cyanogen(mod) is a barebones AOSP variant of Android. To answer your questions. No it will not have Swype included. But you can download it via beta.swype.com. No it will not have the widgets that MySense has on the MyTouch. However LauncherPro, paid version, will add some of those widgets back. You can go back to MySense. Just make sure to do a backup of your ROM prior to flashing Cyanogen(mod), or you can flash the PD15IMG via the HBoot screen... Yes you can use a "search feature" in the contacts list. Once you flash it you'll hit the search button to activate a universal search and you can do that way.

And when it comes to rooting your phone. During the root process or after it is rooted the easiest thing you can do to prevent a true brick from happening is READ READ READ READ and understand what you are doing. And keep in mind That if you can access your HBoot Screen and or your Recovery image you are not truly bricked. As far as the simplest way to root ones phone use this link http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/10/how-to-temporarily-root-the-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-htc-glacier/ and make sure to follow the link at the bottom.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatmydave:
About the dialer...

Though the stock Android dialer doesn't have smart dialing, you can get an app for that:D I use DialerOne which is similar to the HTC Sense dialer. It's available for free in the market.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
Nothing tied to SenseUI is in CM7. This includes the T9 dialing, the sense widgets, and some other features. Most if not all of these features can be found in free apps in the market.

Yes, you can download a completely stock image and flash it. You may have to turn s-on afterward. Check the stickies in the Development section.

Use the gfree method (again, check the stickies in the Development section). It will give you s-off, simunlock, and carrierID unlock, or you can selectively apply what you want. You will still need visionary for temprooting and permrooting.

Not really anything before rooting. Perhaps you could flash firmwares using fastboot, but you'd need to flash the engineering bootloader, for which you'd need to be rooted. Also, I think the very definition of bricked is that it is unsalvageable. The good news is the gfree method is pretty fail-safe; I've done it on 2 devices without a hitch. One note: If you decide to flash the engineering bootloader, make sure you type that terminal command correctly or you WILL brick the phone. Just make sure to check it twice before hitting enter.

No, just download the beta.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I used google voice on this, i copy and pasted into a text message. texted it to myself, then copied and pasted it in the terminal emulator... .. just an idea. and i'm sure you could do the same via any two way syncing memo service or email.

Without quoting the whole thread, THANK YOU to everyone who got back to me so fast, you've been really helpful. I've been reading the development section and some other things, and I'm going to look at the link from theunlockr and at the gfree method in the boards. Probably do the root tonight. Thanks again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Even though the "copy and paste" thing worked for me i would HIGHLY suggest double checking the coding, as it can/will brick your phone if done incorrectly.
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] IronMit:
Before settling on my case i bought an earlier case which you can find on sites like ebay and amazon.

it says its a xt720 milestone 2 hybrid case. ..which seems impossible (even the pics showed a milestone 2), but as it was about £5 it was worth a shot.. i contacted the seller and asked him. he confirmed it was for the xt720 and amazon have the wrong pic up.

When it arrived guess what... it was for the milestone 2. lol#

And sites that sell this particular product still have the same title and no knowledge of the difference.

:rolleyes:
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] AllGamer:
yup, i encountered quite a bunch of those during my shopping for a XT720 case, and none of those were real

only the Otterbox ruber case ($50) case and the SGP case ($20)
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] scumm_boy:
Which case did you end up getting? I have the Zagg Invisishield for the XT720 on mine, but it's starting to look beat up.
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] syrenz:
Heard negative things about both Zagg (in general) and Otterbox (at least XT720 otterbox) so I avoided those. Heard only good things from the folks here about the SGP one so I ordered that. Should be here any day now....

Besides for being the cheapest, it looks best imo and it's got the best feedback from users so getting it was an easy choice.
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] AllGamer:
i'll take some pictures when i get home

using the SGP one, it looks exactly like in the ad pictures on ebay
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] syrenz:
I saw a pic of the screen cover, which promises anti-glare and many other screen enhancements. Truth?
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] IronMit:
I have the SGP case. Haven't tried the free screen cover yet because i still have this one on which promised anti glare and everything.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0042VQ8DG/ref=oss_product

(folix xt720- amazon- incase the link doesn't work)

The anti glare effect is very small-if at all. However it keeps clean very well and doesn't attract as much stubborn finger prints

I really like my SGP case. the camera and emdia button are harder to press but nothign you can;t get used to
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] easye420:
id stay away from zagg also, i bought a screen protector from them and had to send it back after a couple weeks, there to gel like and get scuffed to easily. i bought an otter box and couldnt be happier, it definitely saved my phones life many times. and i got mine for $17 after tax from cinci bell with there 50 percent off sale. there like 30 at otterbox prolly cheaper somewhere else
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] AllGamer:
i didn't install the screen protector that came with the SGP case, because i already have another clear screen protector installed

and i wont remove it until it gets really scratched

saving the SGP screen protector for the future
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] c_urbanek:
SGP is Way Better!

The SGP is way better than the Otterbox.

The SGP is slim fitting, my buddy has an otterbox on his.

It looks like a big puffy retard helmet.

You have to be a douchebag to buy the otterbox. :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcheljd:
im having the same thing, it is most likely server side and nothing to do with our phones
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
To see if it's a server issue, you can actually go into the Clockworkmod/download folder on your SD to confirm that the recovery is downloaded. If it's there, it's not a network issue... I think it's more likely an issue with cwm...

Have you tried flashing via adb, terminal, or fastboot?

[Captivate General] adzidek:
By far the easiest way to un-brick (i.e. get into download mode) a phone when 3-button combo is not working is as follows:

1. power off phone

2. remove battery.

3. plug in USB cable to computer and phone (with battery out)

4. hold Vol Up and Vol Down

5. drop in the battery while still holding the vol buttons

6. in 2 secs you'll be in download mode

enjoy.

Hello,

I posted this on cyanogenMod forum few days ago, but no one was able to help me so far, so maybe I will have more luck here...

Recently I found my old dev phone 1 with stock image and decided to make it more useful by installing cyanogenMod on it. I tried to follow instructions on http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Android_Dev_Phone_1:_Full_Update_Guide page. I downloaded Amon_Ra's Recovery, adb and fastboot tools, added all-htc udev rules and followed instructions on fastboot page http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot#Access_bootloader to access the bootloader.

Unfortunately fastboot devices returned empty list of devices :( even more, lsusb did not list any new device.

When connecting the phone in debug mode adb sees my phone without problems and lsusb shows my phone as well so it's not connectivity problem.

I found this section about SPL S-OFF on fastboot page http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot#Verify_SPL_S-OFF and it seems it applies to my case as my fastboot screen looks like this:

The section continues that in such case I have to use different SPL, so I went to http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Dream:_DangerSPL page to install DangerSPL, but it requires Amon_Ra recovery which again requires fastboot to install so there's a cycle here :(

I would be grateful for any hints what I should do in this situation :)

Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z General] GermanGuy:
I currently have the the G2 on the T-mobile network. I frequently switch back and forth between 3G and Edge which is driving me nuts. Is this a phone issue or a network issue? Do people with the Desire Z on the ATT network have the same issue?
[G2 and Desire Z General] m0bstar:
Its a network issue with your location, It happens on any phone including the iPhone. Its if the carrier has that service available where you are.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GermanGuy:
I am located in Minneapolis which supposedly has very good T-mobile 3G coverage. A friend of mine who has a G1 on T-mobile here in Minneapolis always sees solid 3G. This makes me wonder whether this is a phone issue. Flashing the 17 radio did improve reception, but not satisfactorily. Could any ATT users share their experience?
[G2 and Desire Z General] m0bstar:
I mean, the phone and radio and rom will play a factor somewhat in it but not that much. To be fair, edge and 3G dont have too much a difference in speed or at least not here in Florida, but i run 4G almost everywhere anyways.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
For the MOST part, this is a network issue. The phone Radio will have an impact on the quality of cell signal you get but the network carries the most weight. Not all phones are created equal as far as reception goes. My DZ is average. Its not great like my previous BB Bold was but doesn't drop calls like my gf's phone.

I do on occasion drop from 3G to Edge but only when I'm in rural areas. I work in a jail on occasion and of course the concrete walls aren't great for cell signal. I usually switch from 3G to Edge when I'm there because Edge just holds the signal better rather than the phone killing itself trying to find a solid 3G signal.

Also, like the other user mentioned, 3G and Edge aren't night and day per-say. For example, sometimes Edge can be FASTER depending on how much traffic is on the network at that time. I experienced this on a day trip to San Francisco. With 3 gazillion Iphones in the city, I couldn't get my phone to connect to anything with 3G. When I switched to Edge, it was moving steady no problem...

Just my 2 cents.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GermanGuy:
Is Negri Electronics still the cheapest place to buy the Desire Z NAM or are there other sites with better offers? I checked ebay and all the phones there are more expensive when you calculate in shipping.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KingAndroid:
Possible Fix

Here is one thing that may fix the problem, as it has for me. Set your phone to WCDMA only by dialing *#*#4636#*#* . A menu will then appear. Select Phone Information. Change Set Preferred Network Type to WCDMA Only.

Hope this helps!
[G2 and Desire Z General] GermanGuy:
Yes, already tried that as well, but then I lose connection completely intermittently instead of switching between edge and 3G.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TakoLuffer:
Are u running a custom rom? Check ur apn
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I feel very sorry for you then. EDGE makes me want to claw my eyes out versus 3G. Everywhere in New England on AT&T, the difference in speed between EDGE and 3G is like the difference between throwing a bullet and shooting it. Even more so with the "4G" HSPA+ backhaul recently done by AT&T in many areas. But even before that, it was a big difference.

My Desire Z very seldom switches from 3G to EDGE. When it does, its in areas of very weak 3G coverage. As others have mentioned, its likely a network issue. Flashing a new radio is pretty easy (and you can always flash back to stock), so it may be worth a try. But it may or may not have any significant impact.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevenmcneal83:
Hey anyone that's got some noob time, I was curious what exactly is a kernel, why are there different kernels, when to know if you need to use a different kernel and lastly instructions on how to flash a kernel. I am pretty experienced in dealing with my phone and I'm capable of bringing my phone back from ANY software brick with ODIN and I have been flashing ROMS for about 5 months. I recently was reading up on the Epic 4g forums because I was going to root my epic when I buy it and I noticed much more about kernels in the epic 4g forums. Any knowledge would be appreciated! Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Roms, Basebands and Kernels, a basic overview

The baseband is only the 'radio' part of the phone that makes the calls, the 3G and Wifi connections, GPS connections, etc. As you thought, it is totally separate from a ROM. Updating a ROM will not update a baseband and going back to an older ROM will not 'downgrade' the baseband either. Upgrades to a baseband my improve signal strength, call quality, maybe have software tweaks to improve battery life while on 3G/Wifi, etc - things like that.

Kernels are the core software code that allows CPU to over-clocking and controls voltage controls. Think of it like Bios settings on your computer (PC, that is)..that's really all they do. Now, a kernel can be completely separate from a ROM, but a new ROM contains a kernel in it so it will run. So, a kernel can be both separately applied from a ROM, but is also part of a ROM.

The ROM is basically everything else but the apps and the two things above. It's actually the OS, as well as any stock apps that come with it - and any new improvements, features, etc. The increasing build numbers reflect bug fixes, known issue solutions, feature improvements, etc...thing of them like windows service packs and/or any software update.

Some of the other phones modifying the kernel may be done more because the phone design and limitations

Hope that helps
