Database Develop

New Phone.

The Zio crapped out for the second time in less then two weeks so I went to replace it and lost it in the process. So now I have the Ascend 2. 2.3 is ok. Getting ready to root this. Spz0, Mattix, and everyone here keep up the good work. Hopefully we can meet up on another phone someday. Thanks for all your help! Good luck with 2.3, I took the easy way. This phone already has speed issues. Plus I miss my theme and Vtl already.

Hope you enjoy your new phone. And if you want to try speeding it up a bit check Zio Development for Juwe11's Ram Script which should work on all phones. I created a fairly detailed thread and also linked to the original post for more information about it.

I was seriously thinking about getting this one, I would like to hear some pros and cons on it. Of course I may just go big time and get the new Samsung indulge. 1gHz processor FTW !!!

Space is an issue. And being so new is as well. Although this has more space then the Zio. No root yet. Do have Netflix, Flash, and the latest version of VTL all working great. 2.3 is ok, nothing to special. It also has a sense like function. Which is cool.

Is the keyboard better then the zio? I have been scoping out the ascend 2 as well as the newer kyocera echo both looking good in my opinion. Echo only if flashable to cricket though. Im getting real tired of the zio keyboard and froyo i loved gingeryoshi 1.2 on my mt3g lol.

Sinisin, I'm going to pm you with a link so you can try to obtain root access on your new phone and you can probably port CM7 from the Ascend. And since it's built for a lower end system it should fly, that is after a bit of work on the kernel,

I don't have a computer to work on anymore. So no getting my hands dirty :-(. But it's running good on vtl and has space and processor lag issues. Definitely needs root and link2sd. Optimized kernel. Development support. But comes with swype and docs to go for free. Dtg is like a 15 dollar application. Courtesy of huawei. Screen could be tighter. Not so accurate. 1400mah battery is ok so far.

Hi guys. I picked up an original Moto Droid (well, had it, but not working on cricKet) for $70 at a Verizon kiosk at the mall. It was a steal. Like-new condition, and I flashed over to CM7. Pretty sweet. I still have my ZIO for now, and I will try to help out here as much as I can, but my wife is making me sell it after I'm finished putting the Droid together. :/
Anyway, I'm not too apprehensive about flashing experimental stuff, because I'll probably just flash back to stock before I sell it, so let me know, yeah?

My Zio dive bombed as well
I screwed my Zio up so I went out and bought the Samsung Indulge by Cricket to replace it. Mostly the 1ghz cpu in the phone was why I bought it.
So far totally stock it seems to be running really sweet with much much less mistyped words unlike the Zio with any keyboard you use with it.
Only problem I'm having now is trying to get it rooted and see about some custome roms for it. I found a website, http://androidforums.com/indulge-al...-scripts-indulge-r910-r915-win-mac-linux.html
that is working on such things as getting cwm and such working on the phone. I'm no where near knowlegable enough to figure that stuff out myself I tried miserably on the Zio.
If anyone has this phone from Cricket and knows how to get it rooted as well as getting the usb drivers to work for my pc to reconize the phone can you help me out with it?
Thank you in advance for any help. I'm still searching around trying to find out about the phone in hopes of what I may find in the forum here about it.

I too have crossed over to the ascend2 and after only half a day no root and complete stock this phone is way better than the Zio hands down. This is everything it should have been and more. My only complaint thus far is the screen resolution doesnt seem as crisp as the Zio but I can live with that. Now I am off to root it.

Root it then play with the LCD density in build.prop and maybe you can get a crisper display.

For tethering, try ClockworkMod Tether. I also installed Eclipse ROM 2.1 a few days ago and it seems to work pretty well, without any bloatware (which didn't bother me much on this phone anyway).

Hi thereisone. I also just switched over from the charge last week. I've been very happy with the bionic. I had the static problem with my radio, but I was also disappointed with the battery life, slow GPS, and general slow response on the charge. All these were improved on the bionic. Of course the screen isn't as nice, but I can live with it. Only real complaint is that the camera sucks.
Anyway, I've been writing up a guide for how to root and get to the latest and greatest. It can be hard to figure it all out because of out-of-date posts. Like others have told you already, we can only go so far right now, but if you just need a phone that functions without all the bloat you'll be alright. I'll have it up by tomorrow.

Get a 901 radio data is,very stady nit so hot on 893,

The other day I went to the verizon store and played with the Galaxy Nexus. I've been thinking about retiring the Bionic for the Nexus, bad thing is the Bionic was a birthday present from my family and I feel bad for ridding it. Anyways, to my surprise, it felt like the Nexus was running as fast and smooth as my Bionic was. I was kind of shocked honestly. So the only thing the Galaxy has going for it: unlocked bootloader, ICS, its a Nexus Device.
anyways hope that makes you feel a little better about having the Bionic.
Before there were any roms for the Bionic, I rooted it (there are guides on how to in the dev section) then found some free apps from the market that remove bloat.
If you are comfortable installing roms, there are instructions on doing so in the dev section but read them carefully and do not skip steps. I recommend eclipse 2.1. It's fast, it looks nice, and it has a much better data connection thanks to the 901 radio. It's a bit tricky to flash for some, but because you are on stock, you will have less of a problem.
Hope it helps!
Happy Droiding!

As stated above, I would make sure you have the 901 System Version. You can check that on the Settings->About Phone menu. It will read 5.9.901.XT875 ... The next thing would be to root it and then install a Custom ROM which is compatible with this version. AFAIK, you have to buy a MySQL app to modify one of the system settings to allow you to do the WiFi tether. You have to fake out the installed Verizon app. Sorry if you already know all of this but when you install the Custom ROM they generally recommend you clear all of the stored data so you will have to set up all of account usernames and passwords again for the apps that are in /system.
I rooted my phone before I did anything. I just took it home, plugged it into the computer and started the scripts I needed.
Good Luck.

It came with 893. Should I use forever root update then flash eclipse?

I've had my Bionic for a few months, and have been recently resisting the .901 update because I didn't want to lose root. All that aside, followed this guide and it worked great!

[Q] Vibration Issue

Well I like what everyone has done.
I am using Gingervolt, blitz 2.1 Gingerfussion 3.8 and ics tweaks
Now for some reason atleast once a day my phone will start to vibrate. The only way to stop is to pull the battery.
Has anyone run into this/
Is there a fix that I have not found while searching these forums?

Your best bet is to kill anything that involves vibrate on your phone. I used to get that every now and then, and thought it had something to do with using setcpu. When it happened after I uninstalled setcpu, turned off all vibration and haven't had that issue since.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium

I had that issue until I used setcpu and put the minimum at .768. Hope that helps
Gingerfused Gingervolt 1.3 + Blitz

I believe it's an issue with blitzkreig. BK 2.1 was suppose to fix that problem but I guess it didn't for some people. This only happened to be twice then went away. Others haven't been so lucky. But I would try maybe not overclocking too much and keeping the min above 245. You can check out the Blitzkreig thread in the development section too. Other people mentioned the problem there as well.
By the way I use CPU Master. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I have had this problem as well and it doesn't happen so often but I found that instead of having to do a battery pull you can hold the power button and it will stop mostly annoying that it does it since you can't stop it or do anything except restarting

Haptic Feedback
This has happened to me as well. I thought it was because of blitzkrieg 2.0 and 2.1 but still did it after reflashing to stock kernel. I think it has to do with haptic feedback because it starts while pushing home or back buttons.
I will try setting min cpu to 765.
I have not had to pull battery, it just reboots after about +/-20 seconds.

My phone does the samething vibrate for a long time every 4 to 6 hrs n then reboot not sure what to do. I uninstalled setcpu n super script running blitz 2.1 n gingervolt 1.3
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA App

My girlfriend's Revo is vibrating non stop once or twice a day. It is running gingervolt 1.3 and that is it. She runs very few apps and I am going to go through the list to see if there are any apps causing problems. This vibrating issued existed before rooting and installing the gingervolt. I attribute the problem to reside with the code Verizon uses to activate and install bloatware. From what I can see there is some Verizon encoded bloatware that cannot be stripped out (that is not network CDMA verification code).
I can say this phone is frustrating and really wish that android phones would be released with without carrier tweaks. I switched back to an iPhone just because at the end of the day I still have battery life, no carrier bloatware, and the music integration with my car is less problematic. The thing is - it kills me to have an iPhone from geek standpoint. I applaud google for taking a stand with the carriers and revoking the developer phone status on the samsung CDMA dev phones. The carriers really need to stay out of the firmware of these phones and just apply their configs for the device to work on their network and leave it alone from there. This would yield to more frequent official updates and possibly an android device that is much more stable (provided the manufacturer doesn't screw things up with their overlays). Sorry for the rant.
With that being said has anyone found additional solutions to vibration issue?
Thanks,
matt

The vibration issue is the phone getting stuck in the shut down process. People who run blitzkrieg have this issue, but its nothing major so hasn't really been worked on. Those not running blitzkrieg kernel, try Gingerhome ROM, then go back to gingervolt to see if that fixes it. If its constantly doing it after that, let us know.

well I've come down to the conclusion that it has something either to do with that or the notification light. for instance i only get the reset when the blue light comes on. so maybe it has something to do with the blue notification light? is there any lead on where the promblem resides?

***Update***
buttons are flashing at the bottom and it rebooted. I think I'm going to unroot & warranty the device for her. Then for valentines day buy her an iPhone and sell the warrantied Revo.

No more hope?

I'm getting ready to dump this sob of a phone... I mean the battery sucks so bad, I cant go a full day without it dying on me and I hardly ever use it, I'll lock my phone and look at it like 10 min later, when no apps are even running and i'll be down quite a bit of battery (I've had to tone down usage A LOT coming from an Atrix 4g, I could go a couple days with some heavy use and not have to charge it, and now it seems like whenever I get the chance I have no choice but to throw this phone on a charger)
Besides the fact of a poor battery, I've always hated LG, they have crap for customer service and phone support, I figured something might change with this phone, but nope...
I was hoping for a GB update soon, but looks like those dreams are crushed after reading something on LG forums saying they probably won't release a GB update EVER! LG and ATT can go die...
Also the community for the thrill is relativity small and it seems like Dev's have very little to offer or gave up on this phone all together...
I figured I'm going to jump back on board with the Atrix 4G or 2... I'm undecided as of right now
So this is goodbye to everyone else who is in this community and noticed my little efforts in helping Peace

Well besides all the other reasons, did you try getting a different battery. I have no problem getting over a day's life of battery out my thrill with medium useage. The only thing that really kills it are the 3d games. Stock 2.2.2, rooted with about half of AT&ts bloat ware removed. I read somewhere (not sure where) about bad batteries shipped with a lot of these phones.
Yeah, the upgrade part and lack of support are downers, but overall this phone really is good. My uncle got the new Droid Razer and my phone out performed it on all the benchmark tests that we compared head to head.

At the very least, Rogers releasing GB is a sure sign ATTs GB has to be right around the corner.

Captivate (July 2010 release - updated to froyo 8 months later)
Infuse (May 2011 release - updated to gb 8 months later)
See the pattern......it's all at&!

Well I did that Rogers GB update... aside from the huge headache it took to get on my phone and all the crap apps from Rogers and what not...its a solid update. The battery is by far better I can tell you that for sure I'm happy and might just stay with this phone if it holds up tomorrow and on Tuesday...
Its so much smoother and my internet is blazing fast compared to froyo, for those who haven't tried this, I suggest you do so ASAP.

FYI: Verizon is out of replacement REVOLUTIONS

So the revolution is my wife's phone and i apologize if this was posted because i dont follow these forums.
She was having a problem with the charging port not working. The cable had to be perfectly placed in the port for the phone to charge. Called verizon and they said they are out of replacement revolutions. Offered me a Droid charge, I asked for something else, they offered me a Thunderbolt, asked again for something else and the rep said no. I very politely said I wasn't fond of either phone and asked again if there was anything else. Ended up getting the Rezound.
Just an FYI.

If you go that route don't tell them that you have had a insurance replacement I tried but I had a insurance replacement it is still being sent to me free of charge cause it is under warranty but evidently asurion has a stock pile of these I'm going to try a few times in a row to see if they will budge but with all the minor issues with this phone it's easy to get a warranty replacement. Only thing that sucks is going back to stock to send it back.
