[GT540 Optimus General] hacker_didko10:
I have found a way to solve the problem with the battery in a few simple steps without erasing any battery stats or doing anything.

Firstly, install a Start-Up manager to control the apps wich are started after every boot. Leave only the important ones!

And now you have to recalibrate your battery, so

here is what you do:

1. Charge your phone to a 100% (that will take you about 3:00 hours)

2. Discharge the battery until the phone turns of by itself

3. Try turning the phone on until the battery dies completely and the phone doesn't start.

4.Take the battery of and then put it on.

5.Try to turn the phone on until the battery dies completely.

6.Now charge it up to 100% ( minimum 3:00 hours no matter that the phone says it's charged)

7.Ready! Now enjoy your amazing battery life!

Note: I recommend you to charge the phone for minimum 2:30 hours no matter if it says it's charged. Now, i charge mine for 3:00 hours wich is enough.

how many days with wifi, gps and so on... ?
[GT540 Optimus General] hacker_didko10:
Well, before that I was unable to last for half a day. I had the same problem with all of SwiftDroid versions so I followed these steps and my battery life has increased dramatically up to 3-4 days !!!!!!

I use 2 hours wi-fi, 1 hours listening to music trough headphones and my brightenes is set to 40%.

Hope i helped you!

Thats isnt a battery problem. After you take a call some google services are using the CPU with 100%. After ich kill the google services tasks the cpu goes down to 20%
[GT540 Optimus General] hacker_didko10:
NO. Before that procedure I restart my phone and don't talk with it and the battery drained ... And after that procedure I talk and there is no battery draining so it's not because that.

if u rename system/bin/akmd2 (akmd2_backup) and reboot,

you get another 1-2 days, but lost compass and

accelerometer, this process permanently takes 1-5% of cpu, but there is no other solution

i try what i found on internet

adb shell

echo 250 /system/data

but not sure if something change, i also found some open alternative,

Hey guys, sorry about this thread. I'm usually good at finding information on my own to fix my problems but none of what I've been able to find has helped me yet.

I have an Inspire and it was rooted and running CM7 RC3. I wanted to flash CM6 just to play around with stock Froyo and now I'm stuck on a black screen. I read that pulling the battery and pressing volume down+power will bring me to the bootloader but that's not working for me. It just brings me to the HTC screen and fades back to black. Any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance. :)

Being a newbie that is learning A LOT, my most recent question is:

If I have flashed a BYOR (midnight rom) then added the apk files that I wanted, is there a way of saving my modified ROM so that if I try something else and need to flash back, I can without reloading all of the apps from the zip files?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i n00b teh pwns:
Make a backup in CWM before wiping, then restore it later when you want to switch back. That's all you can do as far as I know.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djgallis:
1st download Titanium Backup and save all your files on your and window information email etc etc . u hit menu then BATCH then back up all files and data ......

CWM ... got to restore n backup then select back up and let it work ..........

now after u check out the other Rom u go back into CWM .... RESTORE UR OLD FILE .... then download TITANIUM BACKUP and restore everything or just choose what you want NOTE: YOU CAN DO TITANIUM w the ROm IF U CHOOSE TO KEEP IT
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
Also, you can take applications from say the midNight v5 upgrade zip(use 7zip to open the zip file) navigate to system/app folder. Copy the apks from the upgrade zip to the same folder in the BYOR zip file; same for files in system/lib.

You can repeat that step for other apps you like from the midNight Extras folder.

If you ever have to flash fresh; then you'll have a rom zip pre-built with your apps and you wont have to flash each zip.

Absolutely utilize the backup in CWM .. that can save you butt ... before any theme, kernel or ROM install. That way if you hit a boot loop or freeze .. simply boot to recovery and restore your phone back to before that flash attempt.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notmyepic:
Thanks everyone. When I get a chance I may try something different
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ringold24:
I would download and install 7zip. make a backup copy of your midnight 5.0 byor zip incase you mess something up but not likely. right click on one of the rom zips and 7zip open archive. in that archive you opened there should be an sd card folder. open that and extract the midnight extras folder to your desktop (drag it to the desktop). open that archive up again and navigate to system/app. go into your midnight extras folder and copy all the apk's you want on your phone and paste them in the system/app folder. After this any time you flash this zip you will have all the apps you put in the system/apps folder and wont have to flash multiple zips for apps. this can be done for themes, boot animations, shutdown animations, fonts, pretty much anything you can flash as long as you know where to put them. ps always backup before flashing
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notmyepic:
I thought I read somewhere installing zip file with CWM, it needed the apk and another file (believe it was meta file)

Is this the case, or is the zip files with meta also for something bigger than just apks?

Netflix depends on the proprietary DRM implemented by Qualcomm in the Snapdragon devices for its Android service. You see no such issue on iOS, because DRM is the foundation that iOS is built on, and there's only one platform. No variation.

Because of the video and audio limitations of Android 2.2. It will be working on the Epic when we get the Gingerbread upgrade or you can install the GB leak roms.

Hy, I can't post to developement forum si I have to post here.

I was installing a new ROM ( wasn't the first time ). But it was taking very long since i tried something with my SD Card. I would give you a link but the forum does not let me to post a link.

I went to recovery and "install zip from sdcard" and clicked on EXT Align Flashable. When i removed my sd card the phone started normaly. The I went to recovery and messed around and now I get this message :

When going to " apply sdcard:update.zip " I get ->

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 ( or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

(No such file or directory)

E: Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip

Installation aborted

When I hot to " choose zip from sdcard " I get the same message.

When I turn on the phone I go directly to bootloader menu.

Chances are musclehead84 is right, in my personal exprience, I had to reinstall the driver serveral times in order to make it work...

Ohh and something I noticed with my netbook is that only one of the usb ports actually works with my phone, so maybe it is the same for you.

Try this (and please anyone correct me if I'm wrong):

1)re-install the drivers just to make sure everything is okay

2)plug in your phone to all the different usb ports until you actually manage to get your computer to read your phone and you are able to transfer files from your computer to your phone's sd card with the usb cable

3)once you figure out what ports work with your phone, unplug your phone, extract the file again and enable usb debugging via settings>application>development>usb debugging

4)plug in you phone and run the program and BE PATIENT it does take a while...I have already prima-bricked my phone form being impatient and panicing while flashing my phone with odin (not to scare you)

Hope it helps

All you have to do is call them up, tell them you work for CVS, and that you were told there's a discount. They won't ask for an email or phone number. They do not verify.

If you're off contract, call up retentions and threaten to cancel. They'll more than likely offer you some kind of discount.

I don't think they offer the $20 credit anymore, but they might offer you something.

I did something similar. Patience is the key. I was asked for address and phone number of my workplace(I used I.B.M, was actually working on a research center) back in 2007....still getting 23% off. Plug away at retentions, no telling what you might get. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overstew:
I wouldn't suggest lying....Seriously? lol

Just call the 1800 number and tell them you're a student, they should give you a discount. Try a few reps before you give up, some are willing to help while others...aren't so much.

We in India are also facing major trouble with telemarketing calls & after being put to notice by the supreme court they have now started sending text sms, the best defense I have found against this is "Extreme Call Blocker Droid" this can block all private numbers or you can specify a list of starting numbers eg. block all numbers starting with 800

*Hangup mode block voice mail

*Block anonymous/private/unknown/blacklist calls

*Block unknown/blacklist SMS,

*Built-in private SMS mail box hide private txt msg

*Schedule on Google calendar to decide when to block.

*Hide private number calls in/out, no call log.

You can customize it to your hearts content & have a peace full day.

To trace the callers we have a site in India which you can use for tracking all kinds of numbers & text IDs.

then there are free apps too like blacklist-free & many other with similar features.
