[General Questions and Answers] lainzee:
I would check to see how much the broken phones on eBay are selling for first of all, to see if buying two broken ones would even be cost effective compared to buying one okay one. For example, one broken Incredible on eBay right now is buy it now for around $140, while a working one is buy it now for around $180, so buying two to make one working one at these prices would be a dumb idea. If you can find broken ones for cheaper and you think you can do the fixes I would go for it. Like the above poster, I think that phones with a shattered screen would probably be your best shot.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vibrantnew-b:
I am using the new Atriarc rom (2.2.1) from Jellette which is outstanding, but I'm not a big fan of Oregon St, Oklahoma St, or Syracuse (sorry, if some of you are). I think you may know where I'm going with this. Are there any themes out there that will work with this? I've tried Black Android twice. The first time when I was getting soft reboots I figured it was the Tigers Blood kernel so I reflashed the rom and went with Overstock 1.5. I've had that running fine since yesterday afternoon and decided this morning to try Black Android again. Sure enough it started soft rebooting again. The rom itself is good enough for me to stick with it even if I can't change the theme, but if I can I'd like too. Any advice (other than try another rom), thanks.

Hello, I have a samsung galaxy s 4g and my brother has a samsung vibrant. His phone is currently running on eclair and he wants to update it to froyo through samsung mini kies. He still hasn't done the update because he is afraid that it might wipe his phone and even after searching thou any information on weather or not it will wipe the phone. Im fine if my phone gets wiped because all i really need are my contacts which are backed up but my brother has a lot of important information on his phone that he does not want to loose just because of an update. So is it safe to update?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Just to be safe..

tell him put put things from his INTERNAL SD CARD on his computer. Who knows you may get erased... i didn't.

Eternal sd should be fine, but you can save if you have like super-duper important items there.

Well 1st off u would b better off looking for the answer in galaxy tab forum and from what I know thar if u use mini kies it doesnt wipe your memory
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
You should start off by reading the stickies in the Development section
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icy56:
Thanks, so I guess its safe to update.

And I did read through all of the stickies and I did do thourough searches through this forum and I did not find a clear anwser so to those saying go look at the stickies isn't going to help, just simply stating an answer is much faster/easier way to get an answer. Just saying yes or no or providing a link is much easier than saying you should look at the stickies.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Im not saying it to be a jerk . Im saying look at the stickies so you dont F up your phone . Just back up your data as usual and you could use mini kies to update . Or you could flash a pre-rooted custom rom found in the Dev section. Make sure you familiarize yourself with odin (I use v1.3 /most stable from my exp.).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icy56:
Ohh, well thanks for helping out then. I just responded like that because I grew tired of responces like that and one of the responces told me to look at the galaxy tab forum which really doesn't even make any sense. Ill probably just update my brothers phone because I dont want to mess with it and accidentally delete important information. Ill be flashing custom roms on my galaxy s 4g though once krylon gets cwm or something else up and running on this phone. Its a shame that there aren't any devs other than him working on this phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wiv:
Hi,

I'm not sure this is the right section to post this, but I've recently installed Oxygen 2.0.1 and experienced a boot loop problem. It is apparently linked to having too many cpu steps, and at some point the stats file becomes bigger than the measly 256 bytes buffer intended to hold it, resulting in a crash. (culprit is ProcessStats.java). So :

1) How do I remove/change cpu frequency steps?

2) While looking aroung for solutions I noticed that the CPU changes frequency very often, several times per second, is this normal ? For example :

# cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/stats
# cat total_trans; sleep 60; cat total_trans

I was wondering if anyone knew when the EVO will be getting the new HTC Sense. I know that the EVO can get the new Sense via Root, but I'm not interested in rooting. I'm looking forward to the new Sense for the fast boot and themes... lol. I'm guessing that it will be included with the Gingerbread update, but does anyone have any idea when this will be coming. I know carriers are notoriously slow to bring OS updates, and I'm not sure why, but I appreciate any information. Google and tech websites have proved useless.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
did you ever start to think you can't find a release date because there isn't one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
There are actually quite a few threads around the General section here discussing and debating that very topic. The consensus is that it unknown when or if we will get the new Sense at all. Some people believe that the Evo is done getting official updates, others think we will get a Gingerbread update, but that it won't include the new sense. Others believe we will get a full Gingerbread + Sense 2.0 update. So basically, it's anyone's guess as of now. If we were indeed to actually get an official update, I myself would guess that it'll be sometime between april and july. Hopefully something gets leaked before then. As you said though, you could always Root up, and flash a sense 2.0 rom such as Myn's Warm Z ( a port from the Desire Z), MikZ, or any of Virus's Z ports. Lots of options if you're rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The evo may or not get it, no one actually knows. Your best options would be to flash a ported rom, such a myn's warm z, virus z, as they're ports with the sense 2.0.

There is a fix. I got the latest valle-mod theme that has the fix. Seems to work good as long as you delete the services.jar
[Vibrant General] sano614:
It is because they are ported i9000 roms and they have a "physical" home button, so there's no need for it to vibrate.
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
I've looked into correcting this with no luck. In the services.jar the vibrator.smali (giggles) controls haptic feedback. I diff'd it with ours and only saw one piece of a string that was different. Changing it didn't do anything though. I'll see about digging into this a little more as it can't be hard to correct. Just gotta know where to look. ;)

[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
unless it says it works on Tegra 2 devices, do NOT install it!!!!! the flash that came on our phones is for the Tegra 2. The Flash 10.1 that was in the market essentially broke all flash capability in the browser, and they even had a WARNING in the description for Tegra 2 users.

EDIT: looks like it may be okay is it's "optimized for dual-core devices"

EDIT x2: http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2011/03/update-on-flash-player-10-2-for-mobile-devices.html "For a list of upcoming Flash-enabled devices which show off the latest performance improvements, including the MOTOROLA ATRIX™ 4G, MOTOROLA XOOM™ and LG Optimus 2X, please click here."

hello everyone,

few days ago i pruchased a new kingston 16g card, and follow the resource bible tried to restore my cell back to stock. i format the sdcard, insert to the slot, and then follow the steps "stock nandroid retore" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845756

everything worked fine, i am sure it was completed, but at the very last step to reboot my phone, it stuck at "mytouch 4g" boot screen, cant reboot into the system, bricked i think? so i tried another thread by using PD15IMG, finally i can back to normal and a clean stock status.

(my phone is s-off, permrooted, oc1.5g)now my question is, why can't i success the nandroid restore? did i do anything wrong or do i need some more roms/files/images on my new sdcard? after this i even tried to backup my own nandroid backups and then run restore via rom manager, but i still got the same results, can't completed nandroid restore, always stuck at mytouch 4g boot screen :(

sorry for my really bad English, hope u guys can understand me... i just need an answer/method/guide that i can try some more new roms/oc kernels in the future without worry bricking my phone. dont really wnat to go over and over again the PD15IMG, i got scared though...

Thank you for ur help!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
You probably flashed recovery version 3.0.0.5 in which you cannot restore your stock ROM with. If you don't have another ROM, you should install a gingerbread ROM such as CM7 and then flash the 3.0.0.6 recovery available in the development thread. Don't worry, your phone is not bricked. If you can turn it on and get into recovery or hboot, it can always be fixed.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakeshow423:
I think your problem is that you had the wrong recovery. Flash Drew's 3.0.0.6 zip file to get that recovery and then pick 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries in Rom Manager. Also do your nandroids and restore in Recovery. I never go thru rom manager, it just works better that way for me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strcheng:
really thank you both for the quick response

i just followed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944681 ,looks like i completed all the steps, but when i reboot and open rom manger, it still shows current/latest recovery:clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, so idk whether i did it right or not?

anyways, later on i might try either my won nandroid backup/recovery or the stockclean recovery again, then we will know the results...

i really appreciate for ur help!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Yes, when you open up all recoveries in Rom Manager it will still show as 3.0.0.5. If you followed the steps correctly when you flash that one and open up recovery, it will actually be 3.0.0.6 which will show at the top. This version allows you to switch between froyo (2.x) and gingerbread (3.x) based ROMs.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lakeshow423:
In clckworkmod it will always show 3.0.0.5. Flash the 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries. Then when you go in recovery it will read 3.0.0.6 sounds confusing but its not once you got it. Happy flashing!

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] nick101181:
Hi,

I recently got a g-tablet and flashed the vegan 5.1 rom on it. I have tried making wallpaper using the suggested size of 1024x600. This makes my wallpaper blurry and it crops a large majority of it out. I've experimented with lower sizes and I still can't get a proper size that fits horizontal view perfectly. Also this vegan rom I have doesn't rotate the home screen when rotating the device. When trying a lower size wallpaper say for example 800x600, it zooms into one section of the wallpaper and still crops most of it.

Any ideas please? I'm trying to make some comic themed wallpaper, Marvel/DC, etc.

Thanks

1. Does it support a2sd

2. Is cm7 as stable as leedroid 2.2
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
1/ I think so but I don't use A2SD.So better check the thread on Nighties in the ROM section. It has to be described.

Check also the one from FunkyCow. It's a good and stable ROM also but with few things added (google app, battery patch...)

2/ For me yes. CM7 is my main ROM but I didn't check LeeDroid for a long time.

So I can just say that CM7 is stable if correctly installed (wipe...).

Anyway with Backup possibilities... just give it a try. Don't forget the zip for battery consumption (ROM section also).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StewieJr:
So, I ordered my Thunderbolt on a secondary line, (used its upgrade) and it will ship that way, with the SIM card not inserted yet.

I've read only one thread on AC forums stating that the SIM card gets activated when you turn the phone on initially, and then is permanently associated with that phone line (in this case, the secondary line).

I was curious as to ESN swapping the Thunderbolt to my primary line, but the thread also stated that I would have to get a new SIM card.

If I were to ESN swap BEFORE I put the SIM card into the Thunderbolt, would the SIM card be then associated with my Primary line? Or is the SIM card already shipped with data/information specifically for my secondary line?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meijerbrantm:
ESN Swapping I'm pretty sure is 100% against the law and no one here will help you do that.

That being said, just activate it on that line and get a new sim, and then activate on your other, or call them to see if they can switch the ESN for you to be associated with your main line.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insertnamehere12:
ESN swapping as in swapping the Phone with ESN #### on seconday linke with phone on the main line. Not against the law I do it with every single upgrade I do on my sub lines. VZW website and customer support is setup todo this.

In fact I got my ThunderBolt through the store, upgraded on a seconday line, then put it on my main line. I'm not sure what they did, because I was not the one who picked up the phone.

As far as the SIM card, I'd bring both phones into VZW store and have them do it for you. VZW is having a really hard time with this 4G phone launch. It may work if u do the ESN swap before the phone is turned on, it may not and u might get screwed. Doing it with the VZW Tech will ensure that its done right

!Invalid Battery

Your device battery is invalid and cannot be charged.

Replace the battery with an original Motorola battery.

I tired to clean contacts on phone and battery, still same problem.

Got this problem with stock rom and Fission 2.4.3 so it's not software.

Is it my phone or the battery? I don't have another battery right now.

Best Regards and would appreciate any input.
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Probably the battery. I would just count my loses and get a Moto battery. If you wanted to test if it's the phone, you could borrow a battery from someone with a D2, D2G, or original Droid, and see if it charges.

It sounds to me like it's the battery though. I've never heard of a bad battery giving that kind of error message.
[Droid 2 General] MGA2009:
Thanks for your answer.

The battery works correctly but it gives me this error and it won't charge.

In the battery box it says "milestone a855" so it might some kind of incompatibility with the D2G.

I will buy another battery right now but I will have to wait about a month to check it.
