[q] helpppppp - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

hey, so maybe you can help. i turn my phone off today because it was dying, thought i save that last 10 for the 30 minutes before closing at work, just in case i need it. turn on, and boom. everything like new, had to assign google account, and then even though all apps were still there, they all force close, constantly, no matter what. what should i do? i made a back up, did a wipe and restored, but still the same. will i HAVE to re-install gc v2 (my rom) and just restore the crap individually with TB? =[=[=[ this is random and extremely aggravating. so:
*NO, I DID NOT RECENTLY DL AND APP OR MAKE ANY CHANGES*
*NO, THERE WAS NO UPDATE*
ive had this rom for a while now... wtf?

I had the same problem a week ago, you're gonna have to reflash. That's what I did, and of course, it worked. Idk why it does that. It is very frustrating. Since then I've told titanuium backup to do a backup once a week.

need details what rom/kernel are you using? or is it completely stock? whats running when it restarts if anything? check new apps maybe one is being screwy

Completely stock, haven't rooted my phone yet. The phone every time has just been sitting on my desk or I'll be holding it doing nothing. I always close everything after I use it using the task manager. Let me know if you need any other info, and thanks.

hmm if its completely stock I couldn't say why, but maybe someone with more experience than me could chime in... as for a fix, perhaps if you backed everything up first, then a factory reset might do the trick

I'd look at any apps you recently installed. My Fascinate would reboot quite a bit at times for no reason, it could be a Samsung glitch.
What I tell my customers to do is;
-check that there isn't any software updates
-pull the battery and wait 30 sec. I know it is the generic answer but it fixes most problems, it just like a computer if it not working right, restart. (Laptops mainly in pulling the battery.)
-or factory/data reset. It often will fix the issue but there are the few cases where it will not solve the problem. (and you will lose all of your stuff on your phone, contacts are backed up by Google or backup asst.)
-lastly, root it!!! no problems on my GummyCharged, v1.5, 2.3.4 (I don't tell my customer this choice)
Yeah I'm going to root soon. I just keep on reading these forums everyday so I can hopefully prepare for rooting with no issues.

question for the "doc" lol, saw where everyone was talking about the "not working" apps in the dev thread, can we not go in and remove the apps ourselves? I just went in and removed TiBu with root explorer and re-installed the version i purchased then went in and removed all the apps that don't work or not gonna use, or was that not something I should have not did?

It's probably fine.
After you reinstalled TiBu were you able to update? I know there were a few people that were having issues with the TiBu not updating.
I once heard though, that it's better to freeze unwanted apps rather than uninstalling. Something to do with OTA updates looking for the bloatware in order to validate that your system is not hacked/rooted. Anyway, it's probably not a big deal, just ever since I read that I always just freeze rather than uninstall. Unless its an app I put on there and or I know that it's not something AT&T put on there. But myself, I would apply that same theory to any of the things included with the ROM, anything I don't want I'll freeze rather than uninstall.
Let us know if that worked for the updating of TiBu.

I will look into seeing if I can find some direct links for themes, but until then here is the Original Doctorz thread see if anybody has the answer there,
just make sure you clarify that you are an INFUSE user, since that thread is for the Galaxy S version. If you find something come let us know. Thanks.

i could not update the TiBu that came with the rom but once I removed it and re-installed from market then the key no problems.. i did not know that about freezing the apps Ill remember that from the future, i just uninstalled the add on apps anyways I.E. ext4, reboot etc... so hope I will be good to go, if not gotten really good at odin and reflashing lol. Need to learn to just leave stuff alone and quit messing with things lol!! thanks for all you all's help and hope the development doesn't stop for the infuse.
Is yhe infuse not able to use the status bar settings?

I installed the rom, and have used it for a little over a day now.. I love the theme, and its def snappy, but has a few problems me and a friend found. We've both put the rom on our Infuses.
For a few flashes, my home button wouldn't work, but I think that was narrowed to backing up system data.. it now works for me though. On the first flash try, all calls being made TO my phone just got a busy signal, but I could call out.. My friend's phone calls only works when calling out. When he receives a call, itll end the call about 5 seconds into it.
He cannot turn his phone on while its plugged into the charger.. it wont do anything when he holds the power button. I cannot get root explorer to work, no matter what. I've reinstalled it, fixed permissions, still nothing. I now use another app to access it. When ever I get a new email and notification, my phone will freeze and reboot. I've had quite a few random reboots today as well, with my friend having only a few. It even rebooted while in the middle of a phone call.
I've tried a few different kernels, but not sure if i know when it installs correctly other than the phone boots up... I know the voodo kernel hasnt worked at all... itll sit on the samsung screen for at least 30 mins a few different tries.

I found that the status bar settings has not changed anything that I could see, others have confirmed this. If it doors change anything I think its limited to the lockscreen if any changes are being made at all.

Sounds like you have a bad flash. I'd start over, make sure you do your proper wiping. And read over the Dev section there are a lot of additional steps spread throughout. I will try to compile them into one post when I get some free time. Good luck.

I've redownloaded the flash to my computer twice, recopied it to my phone twice, started with a complete fresh rom using odin that was already rooted and CWM installed, and wiped all data possible. I've followed all the steps, done reboots in between sometimes just to try something different.. I've reflashed my rom at least 6 times in the past two days maybe trying different things .
has anyone had bad battery drain with this? last night i charged 100% before went to bed, had JD running on aggressive mode, wifi anf BT disabled as well as setcpu no OC and profile for 400/100 when screen off.... got up this morning 6 hours and was at 38%, ive been running the rom for days now so i think its had time to bake but not sure what else to do? any suggestions.
Thats odd with the battery drain...mine has been doing great....so your saying it didnt fully charge? or it was full, u unpkugged went to bed woke up and it drained that much? that doesnt make sense...no rom should do that....check your runnibg services and tell me what all is constantly running

i thought something may have got messed up so i just odin back to stock before i read this sorry dman, if someone say "me" was going to start back from scratch..... just odin, root, flash community kernal to get CWM then flash rom? should just leave kernal and modem alone? i know everyone has there own personal preference but as i talked to experiment just need to leave stuff alone lol. in other words with this rom what would "you" set up with i.e. kernal, modem, tweaks/ no tweaks, etc.... thanks for the feedback
Q- Can we remove the extra sounds when plugging in, powering on or off?
I know it sounds petty but I have my phone w/me at work and every time I plug it in to charge it plays that "Charging enabled" voice over. Can this be shut off? I SO SO SO love this Rom so far!! I have flashed quite a few and this one is my favorite so far!
TIA for any ideas.
No it cant be shut off...part of the doctors programming...you can tirn the volume down

Titanium Backup broke my home/search button?

I just came back with my atrix 2 and rooted once again. I reinstalled my backed up apps on the device with titanium backup pro. Everything installed fine and I restart the device. The device loads up fine and now my home button and search button are broke. I can click them and the phone will vibrate but no action follows. Anything I can do before I go and install everyone all over one at a time?
Damn bro you having some bad luck! Are you backing up everything with TiBa or just the apps. Can't understand it breaking them buttons though. Maybe a factory reset? I quit using TiBa on my OG ATRIX due to having a lot of problems to, made me a app list and found it a lot easier to just go download them again versus the headache with TiBa. Good luck!
I went ahead and installed all of the apps from scratch. Fixed the problems it seems

I tried that as well, still messed up both buttons. I never had any issues using the Captivate with Titanium Backup. I'm guessing TB will eventually do some testing and release an update with it being compatible? Ended up factory restoring the device 4 times and just gave up... oh well.
*Face Palm* Dead LCD pixel?
Holy crap I can't win with this device at all. Just spent over 2 hours getting the device set back up after Best Buy replaced. Now I have a friggin dead pixel... going to look for a program that maybe can unfreeze the dead pixel.
Hope you get the kinks worked out, but with a dead pixel I'd probably make that trip to BB again LoL. Good luck
I have never had an issue batch restoring apps with MyBackup, just make sure to restore apk's first then their data.

i have not had a problem restoring my apps+data on Titanium. it never did as you described with my buttons. i dont think its titanium thats the problem. likely an app that you had or something wrong with the hardware

I was thinking that as well... If I need to restore again I'm going to install small groups with TB instead of all at once. Nothing too serious but I know my wife gave me some crazy eyes after I spit out a ton a swear words.

Screen Will NOT Time out

I just noticed this today, my screen is not timing out. I set it for 15sec and it is still lit up an hour later without touching it.
I rebooted it, seemed to work for a little while then it will go back to the same problem.
I'm rooted (of course) but running stock ICS with frozen bloatware.
Anybody experiencing the same issues? I don't mind rebooting, just that if I'm not paying attention my battery will die faster than it already is.

I would try running Fix Permissions from within Rom Manager. If that doesn't work I would think that perhaps you have frozen something that doesn't seem related but may be spidered into your screenlock someone. Last but not least, there's the dreaded factory reset, but that shouldn't be too bad between TiBu and Google backup sync.

Not receiving texts from when phone was dead?

Hey, so about two weeks ago I had to get my M8 repaired. The battery was essentially shot, and the micro usb port was messed up. Could rarely get the phone to charge when it was plugged in, and it'd often drain more power than it was taking in.
Anyway, I picked up the phone yesterday and it crashed once I started to try using it. I figured it was just an issue with the rom (forget what I had on it), and decided to mess with it when I got home that night. So I get home and start trying to get the phone to work. It would always get stuck at the white "HTC One" screen. I'd reboot to recovery, wipe it, and restore from a previous backup, but it'd keep happening. I tried various backups and nothing would get past that white screen until I finally tried my original backup of the stock OS. That finally got me through and the phone is functional now. But when I booted it up, no messages came through.
My phone was off for two weeks, and I know people sent me texts during that time, but they're not showing up. I thought maybe the techs had received the texts, but when I opened messenger there weren't any recent texts, just ones from before I got my phone repaired.
Any idea why these texts aren't coming through, and how to get them? I'd like to know if anything important was sent during the past two weeks.
Wait, I think I'm just an idiot. The texts would have came through while they were testing the phone, so they wouldn't pop up as notifications when I first got it back. Then it crashed and got stuck in a bootloop, so I wiped and restored from a previous backup. Since I wasn't able to do any backups before the wipe, that would have wiped the texts I received.
Damn, that sucks. Is there anyway I could get them back?

What's the app you use to backup sms? Do you just have Titanium Backup scheduled to do it regularly?
