Is it necessary to calibrate after flashing a new kernel?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Not really. I found my battery life is better after I flashed the new voodoo kernel by jt. If you do have some bad battery life, it would be suggested you do calibrate your battery.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtonee:
how do you calibrate your battery also i notice after i charge my battery all nite the next morning i start off with either 99 or 98 percent any reason why???
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblaw1:
Calibration of the battery isn't really required if you flash at 100% each time.

This is expected behavior designed to protect the life of your battery. basically what happens is your phone will charge to 100%. It's not good for a li-on battery to stay at that stress level so the phone will then allow the battery to discharge to 95%. Once it hits 95% you will start charging back up to 100% and the process will repeat. If the phone didn't do this the battery would degrade much more rapidly.

[Desire General] Killian12321:
I purchased a 2nd hand desire from ebay a couple days ago and it came today, apparently the phone was only used a few times so is 'as new'. I've come to boot it up and it constantly reboots with my SIM card in, doesn't even get past the HTC Boot screen.

If I take the SIM out it boots fine. I've spent a while searching through similiar issues but can't actually find anything concrete as to what to do. I'm not sure if it's been rooted previously and am wondering if I should just send it back and purchase another one from elsewhere?

Any advice?

[Desire General] EddyOS:
Boot it without the SIM card and go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up the Software version

Might need to reflash the stock FW on it to make sure it's working properly
[Desire General] Killian12321:
Can you identify whether they have flashed it from this too?

Not really bothered so long as I can get it to work but don't want to risk doing something that will give them every reason to tell me to bugger off :)

[Desire General] EddyOS:
Pretty sure that's the stock Orange UK FW, which would suggest you have an AMOLED screen as well

In which case, it'll be locked to Orange and you'll need an unlock code to use another network but wouldn't explain the reboots with a SIM card in it
[Desire General] Killian12321:
The seller has already unlocked it, she used it with Vodafone as far as I'm aware and said it worked perfectly fine.

You reckon my best bet is to send it back? It's listed as no returns but its my impression that they have a duty to ensure it's in 'as described' condition and it clearly isn't in full working order.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I reckon so, if it's not working then they have to refund your money. Perhaps try another SIM card to rule it out but other than flashing a new ROM there's no way of knowing what's wrong
[Desire General] Killian12321:
Just tried my friends SIM, who is also TMob. Got a bit further for him but crashed before getting to the Home Screen again. Tried mine and it gets to the same point before a restart.

Think I may just buy one brand new, this 2nd hand experience really isn't doing me any good!

When you say the Orange has an AMOLED, should I assume the unbranded handsets don't? That kinda sucks as it was on of the reasons I wanted the Desire.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
New units won't, no - they'll be SLCD
[Desire General] Killian12321:
Now this is weird! When I got home I decided to try using an o2 sim I have lying around. It booted fine. Swapped it with my Tmob and it booted fine too.

Did a factory reset, tried it with the Tmob and it reboot looped, put the o2 sim in and it reboot looped with that too! Figured the only thing I'd done differently was the battery has been disconnected for the past hour or so, tried leaving it out for 5 minutes and lo and behold it booted fine with the Tmob sim.

Had to put in the APN settings for internet but otherwise it seems to be working perfectly fine now!

Undecided on whether I should send it back or not now, it's working but could it be buggy because of the issues I've been having... Why are these things never simple! :(
[Desire General] Killian12321:
It's going back..... went back to the reboot loop as soon as I powered it off and on again. Can't be doing with it. Going to buy me a new one and hopefully won't have these problems.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Best thing IMO, shame though as it's a good phone

If you're buying new might as well get the Desire S as it's out now SIM-free
[Desire General] Killian12321:
I did consider that but I'm really not a fan of capacitive buttons at the bottom of the screen as I constantly hit them on accident. Think I'll just get myself a Desire from Amazon for £300 and stick with that for the next year atleast.
[Desire General] prodygee:
This actually sounds like this Desire is having the famous bootloops. It's faulty hardware.
[Desire General] Matty Matt:
I'd have said keep it, then root it and load a custom rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h2neson:
Hi all,

I've had SGS for over 8 months now on O2 Contract, UK. Currently running on Darkys Rom. Everything was great until yesterday morning the mobile internet has suddenly stopped working!

I've tried everything; Re-setting the correct APN manually, Switch on/off, Taking battery out. Called O2 & and tried to reset with their assistant but none of it worked. The network seems to be up and running fine on their side.

The symtoms are; I do have the 3G icon on the bar (Displaying 'H'), since I usually get a good strong signal in my area. The problem is, when I start the browser, the google.co.uk webpage works ok-ish. But for any other sites, doesn't work. Can't access email or facebook or anyother internet related apps. All connections fail.

I have other O2-Simcard. And when I try to use internet on my SGS, the same problem occurs. (Websites load less than half and everything stops) The sim cards work fine in my other phone.

Could this be a hardware problem?

I didn't drop or anything, I've been taking a real good care :(

Somebody please, please help!, Please.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
You say Google works therefore internet works .Errors are possibly elsewhere in settings .

Worth doing a factory reset after backing up data to see if that clears the problem .

As its yet another Darky rom problem i suggest asking Darky if above fails .

Hardware probably not blame the rom or settings first .

You will have to remove the rom if you need to make a warranty claim .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I agree with JJ, this sounds like a ROM/Settings problem. If you can get Google, then your hardware is fine. An Antenna failure is usually all or nothing.

Maybe check in Settings/Wireless and Network/Wireless Network Settings/Network Mode and make sure it is still in Auto mode, or switch to 3G only?

As a last resort, flash to a stock rom and see if the problem goes away.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h2neson:
Thanks, guys! JJEgan & rschenck.

Network mode has always been Auto mode & I tried all options but no luck..

The thing is, the 3g internet has always worked fine with Darky Rom. It's just that this happned all of sudden.

I guess I'll try factory reset first, if it doesn't work, I'll then flash to stock rom.. Glad to hear it probably won't be the antenna failure.

I'll keep posted after I try!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h2neson:
Hi guys, I'm still at work so haven't had a chance to do anything.

But magically! I've just put my other (PAYG) O2 simcard and the internet now works! However, still not as good as before. (Slightly laggy)

I was using Darkys 9.3 when the internet stopped working properly, so I upgraded to 9.5 hoping that it would fix the problem, but no help.

Since that it's working now. It seems internet connections is slower than when I had 9.3. Well, at least it works now. (Kind of)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
I found the following warning in a Rooting guide for Milestone:

If you applied an OTA update before, there is a script run at every system boot that checks and re-flashes the recovery when its checksum doesn't match. In such case, you have to avoid booting to android after the vulnerable recovery flash. Boot directly to recovery when RSD Lite restarts the phone (hold camera button) and from there remove the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.

rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Could someone provide me detailed information on how to access the recovery and delete the install-recovery.sh file? Also does this reflashing occur on all Milestone which has received any OTA update?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
Over 30 views, and still not a single reply. Come on guys, I know you are better than that...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
First copy AOR to the root of sdcard.

Flash the VR. When the phone reboots and before it shows the M logo, press and hold the "x" key for a few seconds till the M logo is seen, then release. It should show you the triangle with exclamation mark. Press up volume button + camera button. It will show you recovery menu. Choose second option " apply sdcard update ".

After AOR menu is shown, choose console and type the command.

Done.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dodo34:
i first update my Milestone to the official 2.2.1.

Then copied the AOR 3.3 to sd card.

Then flash VR. then directly start to the recovery and flash the AOR.

After a while AOR starts and i type rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh in the console and then "exit"

But i have to flash the AOR every time, because the stock recovery starts when i press camera button while startin (bootloade 90.74)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
In the froyo menu, select Install Open Recovery at boot

After you select that, it will load AOR automatically if you hold the camera button (or X for 90.78 bootloader)

If you wipe caches, then you lose that so you would just Install OR at boot again
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] uptheironsrafi:
I flashed vulnerable recovery, flashed AOR and rooted my phone, and deleted the install-recovery.sh using the console command. I also selected the Install open recovery at root from the Froyo menu. However, my phone returns to the previous recovery menu every time i enter the recovery, and I have to flash AOR all over again.

Is there anyway to prevent this?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rcummings100:
I'm having the exact same problem. Still looking for a solution. When I used root explorer to try and find install-recovery.sh BEFORE i started the whole process of trying to install VR, i couldn't find it (I previously used SuperOneClick to root after doing the official 2.2.1 update from Telus/Motorola). I suspect the file has been renamed and moved with this new 2.2.1 update.

[Thunderbolt General] zeavott:
Hey everyone. I'm one of the unfortunate ones with 3G data issues (thunderbolt wont connect to data at all).

Tried everything I could (battery+sim pull, factory restore, etc.)

Just wanted to list down all the programming/testing menus for all to have access to. A word of advise though, if you don't know what the option is, don't touch it. Some of them make sense. So this is just a place to put them all on the same post and make it easier for all to find:

1. Dial ##PROGRAM (Password is: 000000)

2. Dial *#*#4636#*#* (No password)

3. Dial ##778 (Password is: 000000)

Keep in mind *228 does NOT work on this phone, since it's SIM activated. If anyone knows of any other hidden menus, let me know, I'll edit the original post.

Is it just me or is the nexus just sexiest phone. not trolling just every time i see one i want it. best looking by far.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
I remove mine from its case as soon as I get home, just can't stand its looks being spoiled :p It might also just be me but it feels seriously slick as well!
[Nexus One General] richua:
I like the simplicity of it. No chrome, bezels, etc. Not that those are necessarily bad things but depending on the design, sometimes it gets cluttered.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
the nexus is freaking beautiful. prob the nicest phone i've ever had or seen. i have it out of the case now just to enjoy using it naked! i actually hate this though because i keep avoiding upgrading to a new phone cause none are as good as the n1, but at some point i will have to switch!
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I agree. Nexus One is one of the sexiest looking devices out there :drools:

I was real sad that I had to sell my Nexus One because of the T-mobile/Att merger but, outside of a white iPhone 4, no other phone even comes close :cool:
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
You didn't have to sell your phone because of the merger, not yet at least. The merger hasn't even started yet. Maybe in a year or two it will be necessary, but a lot will change over that time.

[Nexus One General] AbsoluteDesignz:
If there ever is an HTC nexus 2 I hope they simply update and refine the Nexus Ones look and features but don't do something extreme and for the love of God keep the damn trackpad, or a trackball.
[Nexus One General] gadi-a:
another one that agree with you
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
i agree with you, but it wont happen. HTC will do every single thing opposite of what we want, and then do things nobody would have cared about in the first place. i'd bet money on it!!

i'm sure they'll remove the trackball and give no notifications, then make some solid back so no extended battery possible.
[Nexus One General] barisrael:
same here :)
[Nexus One General] ledlow:
I have to agree with you and have said this in other forums... the N1 is the sexiest consumer electronics device so far in my opinion. I like the industrial design of the iPad 1 and the iPhone 4 a lot, but this phone just feels so good in the hand and its metal casing and soft touch accents make me never put a case on it just because I love the slim form factor in my hand and pocket too much. only thing I did was keep an invisibleShield on it at all times.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I think I actually prefer the look of the a HTC Pyramid a little more than the Nexus One. The simplicity of the Nexus S has also caught my eye. Overall the Nexus One may win... however, if Apple made a cell-phone sized iPad, I think I would prefer that to anything else hands-down. The original HTC Desire is also nice looking...
[Nexus One General] lambasurm:
I love my Nexus One!

It's Teflon® coating looks simply stunning. ;)

I probably won't upgrade until HTC Pyramid is out and about.
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
Up until now only the nexus one and the pyramid made me call them "sexy".
[Nexus One General] Estimated Prophet Hawk:
I like the Pyramid design. It's very similar. The Thunderbolt/Aspire are nearly as nice as my N1. I really like my case it shows off the front, but it's still not as sleak and nexy as it is w/o it!

I love the trackball. It will never be the same w/o it!

Those samsung phones are Uugly!
[Nexus One General] charlie_su1986:
Love the teflon coating ... very unique.
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
No doubt when I got it I bought it along with ATT captivate. I almost wanted to sell my n1 over my captivate. I was crazy I tell you crazy. But yeah phone is not too big but perfect. I like it Alot cuz you can mod. I love modding. Cars, bikes and my phone. Lol. :-)
[Nexus One General] jspidey:
I love the look of the N1 also, but in owning one, of course in a little biased. I've yet to find another Android phone that I really like the looks of except for maybe the Pyramid like others have mentioned.

I just wish the N1 had more internal memory. That is probably the only thing that will make me give this phone up!

A) can't get home switcher to stay loaded so that I can switch to Launcher Pro. Is there anyway around this?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dryhte:
Hi folks,

I have an issue with number grouping in the latest two Gingerbread roms for my phone, the LG P500.

The reason I'm posting here is, that I'd like to know how number grouping is set up in Android so I can change it; that isn't something device specific.

Now the issue is this:

on both Gingerbread roms, (both CM based), numbers are grouped like this:

012-345-678 (don't like)

012-345-6789 (don't like)

+123456789 (ok for me)

I don't know if this is Cyanogen Mod specific, or Gingerbread specific, or even specific to the ROM on which the makers of these roms based themselves.

I only know that in the stock Froyo ROMS which I used (and all roms on my previous android phone), no number grouping took place whatsoever.

So I guess this might be something configurable. Hence my questions:

- is there anyone who knows if this number grouping is specific to CM, GB or any localization?

- can anyone tell me how to influence this behaviour? I'm not used to reading phone numbers like this and it irritates me. I'd either want to describe my own grouping 'template', or just disable grouping.

Thanks!

Bump...

If anyone has suggestions re. where I could find someone knowledgeable about this issue, I'm prepared to go and ask there instead of here ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Flukzr:
On Gingerbread I solved the problem by selecting English (United Kingdom) as the default phone language.

Problem is now i'm running an ICS custom rom and it doesn't work any more. Even tried some other languages but no succes. Anyone know any kind of solution?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Eddie1506:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Number grouping has been driving me crazy for so long now, I never thought the solution would be so trivial.

The funny thing is, I often switch ROMs and perform full wipe and sometimes I get number grouping, sometimes I don't. I guess the whole time I've been selecting either English US or English UK at the setup screen :D

EDIT: If you ever find out how to disable it on ICS, do let me know :) I'll probably soon switch to ICS myself, as soon as the good devs make the camera work on my DHD.

i am a newbie to this site. I am using htc hd2 and it worked good until yesterday. suddenly today the touch screen is not responding but all the other buttons working good. i made a soft reset,hard reset but no use still touch not responding. Can anybody please give the solution for this. I am having some important information in the mobile and i hided with file hider software. now i am unable to open it. somebody respond please.
[HD2 General] Skellyyy:
The digitizer is most likely dead. It's caused by the power/end button on the HD2. You can try push the call and end button at the same time while at the lock screen and see if it will give you any functionality. Seen that helped for somebody on here before. Only other ways are to take the phone apart or to replace the digitizer.
[HD2 General] kanthakhil:
when it is locked we have to press and hold the call end button. is that what you are saying
[HD2 General] Richy99:
you press both call AND end call buttons at the same time
[HD2 General] Mister B:
If you get some touch functionality back you may find using MyMobiler (link in Sig) helpful in operating your device & recovering/backing up important files.

MyMobiler allows you to navigate the device via PC/notebook mouse/touchpad & keyboard thus overcoming the problem of dead touch panel.
[HD2 General] kanthakhil:
I pressed both call & end call buttons at the same time but no touchscreen response. is this problem comes only with the digitizer. if yes Can i change by myself the digitizer. help me
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes no touch response is s common for faulty digitizers. Yes you can do it yourself ic you want, but be warned the HD2 is said to be a somewhat difficult to take apart and put back together unless you are just very apt at doing such things. You also need to know that you can get a digitizer and LCD combo for a somewhst dicent price. If you have the T-Mobile 1024 HD2 you will not have to solder your new digitizer to the mainboard. If you have the EU or any other HD2 you will have to solder the new digitizer to the mainboard.This might help you make your decision.
[HD2 General] kanthakhil:
how much it costs to repair approx
[HD2 General] Mister B:
$200 I think is the average, if you have the T-Mobile version & can handle dismantling electronics it is quite simple to do yourself but care, some luck & research is required.
