I just checked mine and they are the same as always.... Very very low...

And it doesnt matter which rom I use, its the same across the board. Even the stock rom.

Edit: Those higher speeds were in the AM... Always good in the early morning but the rest of the day the speeds suck.

I got this while at a red light yesterday on 4G of course. But Sprint and Clear have the areas of focus wrong. They have been focusing on roads instead of housing developments and office buildings. It isn't like I can use 4G while driving.

I think it is slowly moving through the states I talked to some reps and they are doing some major bandwidth updates to keep their unlimited plans really fast. They want to encourage data use and said a data cap is not in the near future. My speeds have been so much better this last 2 weeks.

Hi

my question is odd, but is completely theoretical :p

let's say I completely erase all files on the phone

something like "rm -r -f /" from CWM

will I be able to boot into download mode and flash a new firmware?

or are there some directories which we should never mess with on android?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
Don't mess with your /efs folder or your bootloader.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omrij:
efs will affect the IMEI, but it won't affect the phone ability to enter download mode

the bootloader is not a file, so afaik you can't just delete it with rm
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttf:
Noone said that the bootloader is a file here (except you). I said don't mess with it...and what the point having a phone without the ability to use it as a phone??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theduckking:
you have different partitions on your phone.

as long as you just wipe system, data, dbdata or sdcard nothing will happen. your phone will not boot anymore but who cares.

deleting the efs folder would be a bad Idea but that still wont f*** up the device for ever. you'd have to find and destroy the bootloader but I don't think the partition is mounted anywhere so as long as you don't format every entry in /dev/ you should be fine.

But there is no reason to rm -r -f your smartphone. if you want to clean it up go into recovery and format /system / data and /dbdata
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phzi:
Download mode is in the primary bootloader, which is not part of the linux filesystem. So, basically yes, you'd retain download mode

you shouldnt ever need to mess about with things like that, But like you say if it was a mistake im sure there would be some sort of fix.. But just be careful.

as mentioned previously system / data / dbdata / cache ect..... are safe to format. but anything other than that i wouldnt touch... it wouldnt speed up / free memory on the phone so..........

alright so i just got darky 9.3, great rom, love the newly added call recording feature.. uhm i dont know what i did to cause this, but for some reason my lockscreen seems to have completely dissapeared. it can lock to the screen off mode, but when i unlock it, i dont see any lockscreen, it just goes right back to my homescreen, or whatever app i had opened before i locked it

any ideas what might have caused this? or how i can fix this WITHOUT having to reflash the rom, and lose all my settings?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Corny:
I don't know how you did it, but if playing with settings/display/unlock screen doesn't help, you can download one of the market apps for disabling lock screen and try to force lock screen on from there.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Okay, so I was trying to upgrade to the latest nightly for my mother, since she loves gingerbread now. So here is my issue, I know that I need clockwork mod 3.0 or higher to get the nightlies to work, I have gotten #14 to install with the old recovery she has on there now. But when I try to update the recovery it will either not upgrade or revert back to 2.5 upon reboot. For example:

If I try using fastboot to install, I get an error. I don't remember exact error, but its a long the lines of it can't install.

If I try using the PB31IMG.zip method, but it just detects the zip and wont install or anything.

If I install the recovery via the recovery, it will work for the one time it loads, then upon reboot it reverts to old one.

I tried installing the newest nightly with the old recovery, but it will just load and then soft boot and repeat forever till I pull battery.

I rooted the phone with the unrevokr root and recovery method, so I don't know if that has anything to do with my problems.

Any help would be appreciated. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Get Rom manager from the market open it up and at the top it will say flash clockwork mod recovery tap that and your golden......
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Yea...I forgot to mention, that doesn't work either. It will download, then flash it, but upon boot to recovery, its the old recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Hmmm thats starange...... when you flashed it in hboot did you have your SD formatted fat32? If not bootloader won't read it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Yea, its def fat32, it reads the file, but does not do anything. I get the little bar on the side that moves like its installing it. I am thinking I am going to have to try and restore phone to stock. =/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
No don't do that try downloading a different zip...... did you name it exactly PB31IMG.zip
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Indeed it did, I would then open winrar, and just drop the new .img file in and overwrite the old one. Maybe I should make a new zip file and add the other config file or whatever it is to the new zip. Otherwise, I am SOL lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
It should just don't change anything but the name. And put it on the root of you SD card
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MedleHed:
Before you flash a new recovery with ROM Manager go into ROM manager settings and check the box to erase the old recovery before flashing the new one.

Then scroll to the bottom of the main ROM Manager menu and select all clockworkmod recoveries. Flash 3.0.0.8 since it has fixes for 3.0.0.5 issues.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
No dice, goes to [checking PB31IMG.zip] then just goes back to main bootloader menu.

Oh trust me, that was one of the first things I tried.

Looks like I might have to wipe the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
It sounds like its not formatted fat32 b.c. it should read it..... are you positive that it is? And that it is on the root of the SD and not the root folder....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
I was just thinking that, I am going to backup the SD and reformat.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Ok let me know....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
Still not working, just does checking the zip and then goes back to hboot. I am going to try formating the internal memory, and put a copy on there and see if that does anything. Would having S-ON have anything to do with my problem?

Well I fixed it, was that I had S-On still enabled. I guess I'm so used to my nexus that I forgot that I needed that off to do that.

[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I know in the past there have been threads on this, but they're all 1-3 years old. What's the best client I can use on my handheld?

I just came from iOS, where I had a client that allowed me to control my iPhone's screen from my computer (MAC), so when I'm sitting at my desk I can send\receive text messages from my phone without having to pick up the phone.

Suggestions?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] isaacfank:
+1

i also was wondering this. i see viewers, but i really want a client.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I can't believe it's been 24 hours and nobody has replied :-)

I think it's actually a VNC SERVER we need... to view your desktop on the phone, you'd install a CLIENT on the Inspire 4G, but to view your Inspire 4G on the desktop, you need a VNC host\SERVER on the inspire.

There's several options on iPhone, and whatever iPhone does, Android does 10x better, so there must be server apps available for Android, I just wish someone would tell me what it's called.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
Pocket cloud supports vnc but it isn't free.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
From what I see, PocketCloud is like GoToMyPC, not really a point to point solution like I'm looking for. I just want to VNC\Screen share my android within my home network.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
Not true. It supports rdp, vnc, vmware view aswell
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Oh ok, cool, downloading and trying it right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Yeah this is a CLIENT app... in other words, it allows me to control my computer from my phone. I want the other way around. I want to control my PHONE with my computer.

I want to be able to leave my phone in my pocket, VNC into my phone so I can check and reply to a text that comes in from my computer's screen without having to take the phone out of my pocket.

Make sense?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
Ok gotcha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Searched the market and found a VNC server app, but I'm having difficulties getting it to work, it's buggy, hopefully someone knows of a better app.

May want to change the title for this thread then, it says client even though at least to me what you want is clear, I don't know of any offhand though.

Sorry I meant SERVER for Android, so I can VNC into my android from my computer. Anyone?

I just put cm7 on a sd and am running it on my NC. how do I get the market on it? I saw one link but don't understand how to do it.
[Nook Color General] eNkrypt:
If all you want is the market, you can download the newest market APK from my webserver. The link is:

http://www.r00tyou.com/android/tools/Vending(new).apk

To push it to the device simple connect the device to your computer using ADB and type the following in the console:

Wait for it to successfully transfer over and install.

The viola, you have the newest market APK.

However, I suggest that you download the newest GAPPS from the cyanogen website and push over the whole gapps.

To do this, simply download the latest GAPPS from here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps

Again, using ADB type the following commands:

The console will show the progress of what apps are being transferred over and installed. Once it is done rebooting it will prompt you for logging in to your google account to setup your device. You can simply skip this (Tapping in each corner of the screen starting from the top left going clockwise) or you can proceed with the setup process.

Hope that helps :)

[Nook Color General] mikshepard:
Not sure if it's important since /system/ is mounted ro anyway but all apps in /system/app/ have 644 permissions, pushing files with adb (whether in linux or windoz) will give them 755 permissions defaultly, so I usually do a:

chmod 644 [app-name].apk

after I transfer the file. Might be a good idea to do this if you are remounting it a lot.

Cheers,

Mike
