[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafewww:
Sorry for double post, but, 2 last quick questions:

1. When 'flashing' things to my phone, is that the same process I used putting the customROM on? (Selecting a custom ZIP file from xRecovery) Or is it done in an entirely different manner? I ask because I want to install some of the extras listed on the mod page.

2. Is it pretty simple and straight-forward to restore my data from my stockphone if I need/want to?

Thanks again!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4androidonly:
This guide has detailed steps for installing custom ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979561

p.s. for update v4.5.7, follow the steps to install v4.5 then flash the update files after you are done.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kozxmartt:
Yeah... flashing is done in the same way as installing the custom zips in xrecovery.

At any given time you can revert back to your old ROM whose backup you created in xrecovery. It will he exactly as it was before you flashed the new ROM.

To restore data you need to backup data using anorher software, typically 'titanium backup'. Its very easy to restore apps using this app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mafewww:
Cheers guys! I think I have everything covered now! :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crashangel:
just to be sure

If i understand correctly, u have to backup your phone with xrecovery to be able to restore to the factory reset.

It's like changing the OS of a PC.

thanks

Thank you guys, much appreciated, it is actually pretty easy lol

I did exactly as instructed, but the Radio is not working ?

Hey guys I am looking for someone that can teach me how to make apps and in return I have a app we can work on while im learning this app creation will get us payed by the company i am pitching it to. I will not discuss details on here and contracts will need to be signed before details are discussed with anyone so no one can copy or create the app behind my back. it will need GPS location, Twitter feeds, ect. it does seem as though it may be a fairly hard app to make by myself.

Reply if you are interested.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MortenRJ:
I have an HD2 with WP7 - XBmod, and it uses a lot off battery power during the night special if I enable Wifi, 3G, Data, bluetooth, GPS...

I know that if I disable all this before I go to sleep all is bether, but life have to be easy!

Is there a sitting or a program that can auto disable all power consuming hardware in a specified time periode. Fx from 23:00 to 07:00?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
it might be better to ask in the WP7 HD2 section... but in general, gps isn't on unless an app summons it to be on (even if you leave the use location setting on), and wifi turns off if the phone is not charging and goes to stand by. so that really just leaves 3G and blue tooth that runs whilst your phone is in standby mode.

though there is no setting in particular to do what you want.
[XPERIA X2 General] Nightcookie:
Hi everyone,

the WM 6.5.

3

stock ROM on my X2 is driving me nuts.

Does anyone know if there ever was a stock ROM with WM 6.5.

1

available - you know, the one with the Windows flag / Start button on the TOP left instead of BOTTOM left?

SE customer service says the X2 is only shipped with a 6.5.3 ROM, but I've seen demos (on Youtube) that definitely had a 6.5.1 ROM on. I realise these might be early units, so I'm wondering if the X2 was actually ever shipped with a 6.5.1 ROM.

Maybe I should add that I'm looking for German stock ROMs...

Thanks,

N.
[XPERIA X2 General] That Guy Is Here:
Heres the problem, you can't reverse the flashing. No one has ever reversed flashed. So this isn't possible, sorry. :(
[XPERIA X2 General] Nightcookie:
I was just going to ask if you'd swap devices ... ;)
[XPERIA X2 General] That Guy Is Here:
Haha I can't do that......;)
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Right, theres lots of talk and confusion about the extended batteries.

Are they a complete scam?

Do they offer any improvements?

Are non-branded 1230mAh batteries as good as HTC OEM?

Im going to try and answer these questions, with empirical data :)

I have built a little rig that draws a constant current (112mA), its hooked up to my computer which times and logs the voltage over the battery.

It is set up to measure the "usable" charge, i.e i start discharging the battery at 4.2v and cut the load at 3.2v. 3.2v seems to be the voltage that the DHD considers it's battery to be empty.

This way I am measuring real world capacity rather than "ideal capacity" which is likely to be over estimated by the manufacturer.

Im testing a non OEM battery as we speak, however, if anyone has any extended capacity / non OEM batteries they would like testing, please let me know!

I'd rather not have to purchase batteries to test, so consider this a request for some test units. I will of course return them once the test is finished :)

J
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
Ok, the first test run has completed...

Non OEM Battery (Rated 1230mAh)

Initial voltage - 4260mv

End voltage - 3196mv

Current drain - 112mA

Time Elapsed - 35,125 sec

Total measured capacity - 1,093mAh

This is quite a way short of what the manufacturer claimed but it isn't a hugely surprising result, there was still charge left in the battery at the end of the test, but that charge could not be used by your handset, the phones firmware will shut down the phone well before it hits the minimum voltage of ~3.0v to prevent damage to the battery.

1,093mAh is the use you would see from this battery if it were in your phone.

Next up, official HTC battery.

[Desire HD General] paulus_01:

would like to see how a mugen would perform....;)
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Are you sure about the 3.2V minimum. My phone shuts down at 3.5 (ish) and I can't seem to make it go lower. I've read that this might be kernel dependant, so can anyone with ARHD3.2 ROM (and the kernel that goes with it) confirm that they can get to 3.2V?
[Desire HD General] JamesBarnes:
No im not sure, i did test some weeks ago and i seems to remember it being 3.2...

I did post a request in the Dev forum 2 days ago for some input on the matter but one of the mods decided to delete it.

Id be interested in any info/feedback anyone has on the matter.

When i plugged my phone in to charge last night it was at ~3.5v and ~10% showing remaining.
[Desire HD General] cementboy:
Excellent thread. Looking forward to more objective results.
[Desire HD General] iridium21:
How stupid! Some of the mods here are power drunk. :(
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Technically speaking DEV section is not the right place for that. Anyway I posted a tread here in GENERAL but noone replied with actual numbers.

I've been thinking won't be simpler to use the log from current widget to calculate the usable battery capacity? You have the drain/charge current and the time. Multiply those together and you have the capacity in mAh.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
OK, using current widget you can calculate the actual battery capacity that the phone uses. The first results are a bit unaccurate, because I used an old log file that had 5 min intervals. I don't know if the current widget logs the max/min or mean value that is in the interval, but if it's the mean, then using the date from a full charge (1% - 100%) the usable capacity of my battery is 1083 mAh. The plausable value means the method works, it just needs a precise measurement.

Tonight I'll try to take a more accurate measurement, because as I said with 5 min intervals it could corrupt the actual values. Also the log I used was with a charge during which I used my phone, so there were a lot of fluctuations on the charge current during the fast charge.

P.S. Sorry for hijacking ;) the thread but if it's possible for everyone to measure the capacity, it could be easier to evaluate the claims of the non-OEM batteries and actually see if they are any good.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well you can choose either other, the first says like data, recovery, ect, the things that were backed up. The other seems like a folder you renamed, or a clockwork recovery, which you should not backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
Here are the SS, I would imagine the I need to chose the last one. I put them in order but you can see the file name on top of the SS.

I do not have a clockwork recovery, this is all out of Amon.

I think one of them might just be the wimax keys now that I think about it based on the size of the file but I was wanting to be sure...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Restore the one with the letters in it. The other one is just your RSA keys. That's odd... did you choose to back them up separately or did it put them in separate folders?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
Yes I backed them up seperatly. That's what I was told to do by someone...Should I have done it all in one shot? I could always delete my last back up and do a new one with the wimax in it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:
No, you are fine, I have a seperate backup of my RSA keys. If you ever lose your Keys due to a bad flash, you wont need to reload the entire ROM. If you are ever unsure of which to restore, just restore the one that has a file called Data in it, and was backed up around the time you remember making the backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You should make a separate backup of the rsa keys 1 time, then copy it to your computer, forbidding you lose your keys, then you can copy it back. Everything else, you can backup in one shot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
Got it, thank you both.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Anytime man, :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
Another question,

When you do a nandroid backup, do you select the wimax option with it? I have backed it up to my computer already but I was going to delete my last backup and do a fresh one with the way my set up is now.

When do a back up, wimax, by default, is not checked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well if you have a backup, you don't have to create another one. If you had to restore it, you would just need to put it on the sdcard from the computer. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:
One more question, I think, when doing a backup, do you just backup the default settings or.do you chose any other, like SD partition, android_secure, etc...

Thanks again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feenty:
Hi!

First sorry for my english...

So my problem is the next:

I've got a HTC Vision, i'm done with the rooting and s-off by using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php...Phone.2C_Set_SuperCID.2C_and_Turn_Radio_S-OFF

Everything went fine, now i can get su in term emulator, i see s-off in fastboot, but when i try to flash recovery or splash screen i always get errors like this: (with splash.img it's the same)

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (4442 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.779s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.780s

I have no idea where should i start debugging...

I'm running Virtuous 1.0.1 and i'v got a modded cwm recovery (3.0.0.5) to charge with power off

Anyone can help me please?

EDIT:

In the wiki i read this:

"Assuming you've backed up your phone with Clockwork's nandroid, you can install the engineering HBOOT (bootloader), which among other things allows you to use fastboot flash (or flashing-over-usb from your computer). This is unnecessary for most users but provides additional functionality for developers. "

Is this mean i can't flash via fastboot without eng hboot?

Sorry if it's a noob question but it seems much difficult like with the normal desire.....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Yes you need the ENG. Hboot to push commands in fastboot.

my problew was only the eng hboot.... before the Vision i had a Bravo, and with that there was everything is simple... unrEVOked to root(1 click), alpharev to s-off(1 click again)... after those i can did everything....

the eng boot is new for me (in android), but now i know what can i do with it and what can i do without it.... but maybe the most important, i know, i can do almost everything without it, the only thing i have to do is to go on a longer way :)

I've just got a used LG Quantum (for AT&T)

and was wondering if it is safe to go ahead and perform a factory reset.

As far as I can research on the internet, there are two methods for about doing this

First, go to settings and do the reset

Second, press something like volumn keys and camera and turn the power on for "cold boot"

My question is... what are the differences between those two methods?

Is is safe for me to do any of them and have a fresh new start on this used phone?

Also, will any of the two operations above relock my carrier sim?

I don't live in the US so I can't call AT&T to get another unlock code.

Thank you.~
[Windows Phone 7 General] hoaisonongame:
You don't have to re-enter unlock code once you've enter it! Happy reset time :D

Btw, the different of two methods for resetting is that even your phone refuses to boot and you couldn't go to setting, ect.., you can reset it by hard keys! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
I reset mine using the software menu method fine.

Both are the same though and it only resets the phone itself not your sim card.

You are aiming for hi-res contact images also? It is quite nice, but it is shame that google still in its gmail has 160*160 pics, and in their forums are no signs of progress about evolving this thing despite the requests from other gmail users. I am using gmail as primary sync source and those small streched out pics on x10 apps looks kind of commandore/amiga style like. Btw if the pictures are synced from facebook. Who decides the resolution of the pics. Phone contact app settings or FB app sync service?

As far as i know the SE phonebook is linked to Timescape. Without TS the phonebook will FC on 2.1, so you'd have to totally re-write the app rather than port it.

Il attach apk.
