well my droid is stuck with the cyanogen nightly i put on it months ago. i can't reboot into recovery, can't wipe and reset, can't install from rom manager...any ideas on what else i can try?

10/25/2011 11:09:08 AM

i wasn't aware that you could (easily) set yourself up to be unable to reboot into recovery

[Edited on October 25, 2011 at 11:12 AM. Reason : i'm forgetting all kinds of words this morning]

Sounds like you really pissed it off. And you can't install rom manager? May have to look into RSDLite.

10/25/2011 11:21:25 AM

^^^I had that issue a couple of days ago. Reflashing ClockworkMod in ROM Manager seemed to fix mine. But I bet you've already tried that.

10/25/2011 11:56:35 AM

i made the mistake of, before checking back on this thread, hitting the "fix permissions button"...shit has literally been running for 20 min straight

10/25/2011 12:52:41 PM

^^ thank you sir, reflashing worked

froyo was released may 2009

gingerbread was released dec 2010

10/25/2011 1:21:07 PM

I'm getting really tired of waiting for Gingerbread from AT&T on my Infuse. I'm about to just root the damn thing, load it myself, and be done with it.

10/25/2011 1:33:40 PM

Infuse=Samsung, Samsung=shit for updates in US

10/25/2011 1:35:48 PM

^3 maybe may 2010 for froyo

[Edited on October 25, 2011 at 1:39 PM. Reason : .]

10/25/2011 1:38:34 PM

yeah, froyo source code was released in June of 2010.

10/25/2011 1:47:50 PM

Oops May 2010 for Froyo, not 2009

LOL

OTA update - SERVICE UNAVAILABLE

Thanks Verizon/HTC

10/26/2011 10:02:36 AM

Finally worked, update coming down now.

10/26/2011 11:56:56 AM

dumb question...is there a way i can turn off gmail notification sounds but keep other notification sounds (like SMS) and the gmail status bar icon when new mail arrives?

10/26/2011 1:49:13 PM

Sound be an option in Notification Settings under the gmail app to change it.

10/26/2011 1:58:56 PM

i would have thought so, but under notification settings i only have "email notifications - notify in status bar when email arrives" and "labels to notify"

i want to keep the status bar icons, just get rid of sound

10/26/2011 2:00:36 PM

Click labels to notify and then choose inbox

10/26/2011 2:01:58 PM

Just FYI

10/26/2011 2:15:26 PM

^^ doesn't work...it gives me the checkbox for "notify in status bar when email arrives" (which i want if it's only referring to the icon) and then it has the ringtone, vibrate, and notify once options...i can't select "none" for ringtone

10/26/2011 2:25:23 PM

Weird. I have mine set to silent and only to vibrate with gmail.

10/26/2011 2:34:23 PM

^ and this is why it was a stupid question...i was looking for "none," not "silent" (which is an option at the top of the ringtone list)

[Edited on October 26, 2011 at 3:39 PM. Reason : derp derp]

haha derp indeed. Who would've ever guessed silent = none

i'm guessing the best device to go with in the near future will be either the razr or prime?

10/26/2011 11:07:26 PM

LOL I can't believe they've still got the Bionic at $300.

Look Verizon/Motorola, you tricked people into buying it for a month or so, now you're just going to get people who have gone full retard, and it's completely unethical to prey on the mentally handicapped.

It's 249 on the actual Verizon site if you click Buy Now. They just haven't updated the number on the Droid Does site

10/27/2011 10:35:34 AM

Two more weeks... must... hold... out.... for... Galaxy... Nexus...

10/27/2011 12:47:01 PM

^ this

10/27/2011 1:10:07 PM

ha. Better cross your fingers that there's no delay

10/27/2011 1:12:03 PM

My guess is the pre-order will come out 11/10 and delivered sometime before Thanksgiving.... at least that's what I'm hoping for assuming this is correct:

10/27/2011 1:21:05 PM

Wow. $50 off.

THAT'S.

ASTOUNDING.

10/27/2011 1:29:23 PM

My phone wiped itself

Last night I do a battery swap, and when it comes back up, I get the "Welcome to Android" setup stuff. Once I get past that, I everything is gone. Apps, settings, contacts, everything. Turns out my data is fine on the SD card, and my contacts/calendar etc are synced with Google, but it's still a pain to lose all the apps and configuration

Did a touch of research and got this:

Quote :

"Seems like most of time (not all) *it* happens when the phone is not properly shut down (battery pull, sudden battery rundown), therefore not letting the internal storage/sd cards properly unmount, causing the memory to become corrupted."

Which doesn't make that much sense. I ripped batteries out of my running Evo 4G for well over a year...and now I've been doing it to the 3D for 3-4 months (or however long I've had it), and never had a problem.

10/27/2011 3:02:38 PM

Awesome.

Google can conquer the world, but can't tell a phone that it's about to shutoff because of a low battery and unmount its data.

10/27/2011 6:00:05 PM

^^Crap I do that all the time.

10/27/2011 6:26:08 PM

Wipe yourself?

Well...that's good.

Nothing like WOWiers wearing diapers.

10/27/2011 8:18:45 PM

U mad bro?

10/27/2011 9:21:26 PM

What the shit is kdogg doing in this thread?

10/27/2011 10:03:38 PM

killing it

10/27/2011 10:43:18 PM

I'm in need of a new phone and I'm not going back to Blackberry. iPhones are simply too fragile for my clumsy ass, so I'm going towards a Droid. Sticking with Verizon since I still have unlimited data through them. Is the RAZR worth it or should I stick with an older model? Not really a first adapter here, mostly concerned with e-mail, web browsing and functional apps, less with gaming or video.

Thoughts?

10/28/2011 12:11:25 AM

if you want something now, go with the RAZR...if you're willing to wait it out, go for the nexus prime

Does anyone know of any way to backup the OS settings? I know Titanium Backup can backup apps (and I move most of my apps to SD so the data is safe at least), but it would be great to save my OS settings, home screen links, widgets etc in case this happens again.

I'm guessing I should just root it and take a recovery backup image huh?

10/28/2011 9:26:33 AM

Yeah, I was going to suggest root+nandroid.

10/28/2011 9:54:31 AM

yeah, root is pretty much required if you want to back everything up. I use MyBackup Pro and mainly for app data, sms/mms, etc but it also has an option to backup/restore system settings, home screens and other stuff.

3-part review on the Galaxy Nexus. It isn't in english though.

Thanks I'm going to give that a try in the short term...and will probably use nandroid in the near future.


Speaking of root, whats the best/easiest way to root my Evo 3D...Revolutionary? I used Unrevoked for my 4G and that was great..but they don't appear to offer root for the 3D

10/28/2011 10:45:40 AM

yeah, the good thing about MBP is that you can set daily or weekly scheduled backups and the number of backups to keep. Doesn't require manually turning your device off and going in recovery to do a nandroid backup.

10/28/2011 10:51:06 AM

damn, that's all Greek to me
