You tried this even one time???

NEVER DO THAT, YOU WILL RUIN YOUR Li-ION BATTERY!!!!

Li-ION charges at no more that 4,2V, internal protection circuit will shut it off if you get it to 5V charger directly and if this protection accidentally will not work your battery blows up! 5V must be applied to USB port ONLY if you want your battery and phone alive ;)
[HD2 General] airsoft_ben_1989:
unfortunately i dont have a way of measuring the voltage of the battery, i have now just bitten the bullet and ordered another battery and an external charger. that way if the battery i have now is dead i have a replacment and if it just needs charging then ill have two batteries. having tried the USB cable charging bodge and it not work im thinking i have killed the battery. i use LiPo batteries in my airsoft stuff so i know that they can die if not treated properly. my own silly fault i guess haha.

ill update tomorrow once the charger and battery have arrived.

what do you guys think will be wrong with it if a new full charged battery doesnt work?
[HD2 General] pvii:
If your new battery wont work than you probably may have a dead charging circuitry on your mainboard (sudden death when removing a battery during charging process) and if that circuit works only under OS control, IMHO your mainboard is useless too. Have to be replaced or repaired.
[HD2 General] airsoft_ben_1989:
fair enough, thanks mate. fingers crossed for tomorrow the hehe
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I have not personally tried charging a my battery this way bit I know several people on her that have and it does charge the battery. If it did not work for the OP of this thread than they either did not have a good connection between the wires or the battery is not chargeable anymore.

Look at your wall charger it should say on your wall charger that the output is 5.0 v or 5.1 v. This is pretty much a standard on all wall chargers for phones as they all require the same voltage. Yes there is a protection system that monitors the charging voltage and if you use the modified cable to charge you do not have this protection system. But your wall charger unless the small transformer in the actual plug part that is the charger malfunctions will only put out 5v, actually it will probably be more like 3.5v as the 5v is Max output capacity. Also if the transformer malfunctions it is just going to melt down and not put out a charge what so ever, it will not cause a spike in voltage. Trust me on this one, my job requers I have a full understanding of transformers be it a big one are a little one as I have to work with them all of the time. But I did put my warning in there for a reason as this can kill the battery where it can no longer charge, and even though it is menamal it is a small risk of the battery exploding, but it is a very small risk.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Just for info I've done this twice, once thru wall once thru usb slot. It only needs about 45 seconds to get enough charge to start booting, and charging starts about halfway through the boot.

you are right that it isn't recommended, of course, but then most of what goes on on this site isn't recommended for a healthy phone
[HD2 General] pvii:
Man, I do not intend to start a holy-war about it :D

It's a little off-topic, but seems that you do not have idea how these power stage of mobile devises works (from wall outlet to battery), all mobile devices are very similar in this aspect, simply google what is Li-Ion battery advisor, how it works and rules of charging Li-ion batteries, there are a huge bunch of forums specially dedicated to this theme...
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok first of I am not madd by no means, and no it is not off topic as people need to be able to know these things. As I have seen in a couple of XDA members signatures "I am learning from you, and you are learning from me."

I Googled the Li-Ion battery advisor and found the PDF I think you were talking about as it was the first two links Google pulled up. But I have to tell you what is discussed in that PDF is on Li-ion batteries for vehicles not cell phones. Those batteries are much large and there for data in that PDF can not necessarily by applied to cell phone LI-ion batteries, unless you care to educate me further.

Like I said I have been a electrician for going on 15 years now, I know how to read electrical schematics, I know how electricity flows, I know about positive and negative charges, I know a lot I will just put it that way. If you have further links YOU would like me to check out I will be glad to. But from my prospective what I mentioned as a emergency charging method is no more dangerous than shaving with a disposable razor.
[HD2 General] airsoft_ben_1989:
right so the new battery doesnt work, charged it in the external charger and nothing. same as before just looping on the Droid boot up screen.

would it be worth flashing back to WM6.5 as a last resort?
[HD2 General] pvii:
Any photos of boot screen?

Try to flash back to older official WM ROM with regular SPL (flash from SD card not thru PC sink), else HSPL and that custom bot manager wont be erased from NAND. May be it will help You, I used this method when my touch stopped responding and it was a solution for me.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You are correct to tell the OP to flash via SD card or they would still have HSPL. but the custum boot manager as you called it is actually a custom bootloader. And if you flash a Windows Mobile ROM be it custom or official through RUU or SD card it is gone. MAGLDR or cLK bootloader run in sesession of the original bootloader meanning you never lose the original boot loader( if you did you would have a bricked phone) and that it is not in the same partition of the NAND memory as the original bootloader. MAGLDR, CLK, AND CWM are in the same partition as the OS, therefore when you flash back to a Win Mo ROM you lose them.

HSPL would not have anything to do with the OP's problem as it is part of the original bootloader and the two main purposes for HSPL is to one beablecto flash a official ROM that is not meant for your HD2 without having to use a gold card, and to disable the CID check so you can flash custom firmware.

At the OP have you had a look at your battery pins to make sure they are all in properly aligned with each other and that one is not bent?

thx for the reply but i can't find a solution in the thread you've posted me :( :(

EDIT: Oki i found this...i'll try and i let you know...

Check to see if your external SD card is being seen in File Manager via the:

"external_sd"

Folder and if not then your external SD card hasn't been picked up.

Another way of known this is if you have any confusing flashing white screen between the Samsung Galaxy S Screen & MIUI Loading Screen whilst booting the phone up.

If this is the case, then you will have to revert back to a Froyo Rom (JP1 recommended) and Start the process of flashing again.

P.S I'm updating my Guide to include the JP1 rom as standard..!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcwiker05:
Ok so this problem seems to be multi-connected now that I think about it. But here we go.

BTW I'm running Royal Ginger 1.5, I was running CM7 up to RC4 and two nightly's after RC4 before I switched. This problem was prevalent for most of those ROMS if not all. Fastboot wiped as we as fixed permissions PRIOR to asking this.

Anyhow it started off that when trying to use the Voice text in HTC_IME_MOD, I would get an error saying "There is a problem with the audio" also flashing the Genius Button zip when I opened the app it would show the blue screen for a few seconds then just close (no error, no FC, just close up right away.)

I thought these were 2 separate problems until last night. I went to use Soundhound for the first time in a while and was greeted with this, "Soundhound is unable to detect a working microphone. Another app may have locked the microphone. Please try restarting the phone." Restarting the phone does not fix this problem, thought pulling the battery for over 2 minutes does (for a very very short amount of time, and for everything the keyboard, Genius Button, and Soundhound.)

I have scoured the settings trying to find something about the microphone and I always come up with nothing so I really don't know what else to do. Also before anyone asks I've COMPLETELY cleaned everything, even tried the fast boot method. And also Royal Ginger self flashes/wipes everything as well so not only did I do it but Royal did it again right after.

And I'm not sure if this is related or not though I think it is (thought it was DSP Manager but I removed that app and still have issues) but when I plug a head phone jack into my phone then into my stereo to play music the phone STILL pays on speaker, just very very quietly. The only way to fix this problem is a reboot. The fact that this has fallowed me form CM7 to Royal Ginger and seems to happen when this mic issue happens tells me they have to be related.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcwiker05:
Ok so this seems to be traced to the Genius button cuz without it installed SoundHound works great. That being said no one else has this issue?? I google searched the hell out of this and only found one post on googles forums from some guy complaining (more like b*tching) about it but no fix.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AltekLeo:

JT's Kernel.

Adryn hasn't updated his kernel since March 26th.
[HD2 General] adamvanner:
Several times when my HD2 had very low power it would go through a reset-reboot cycle which eventually resulted in a power off-> charge (I couldnt get it to merely remain powered off whilst charging as it would always start up and attempt a boot whenever I either put the bat in or pluged it in)

Last time this happened, however, it stopped charging altogther. I have two batteries, neither of which charge. Ive tried several roms and have now even returned to winmo 6.5!

BTW the roms flash ok, but in all cases, the phone restarts at some stage during boot.

The phone behaves as if Ive pulled the battery when I pull the usb cable, hence why it feels to me as if its an issue related to the battery not charging.

Any ideas? Anyone successfully charged up a battery without it being in the phone?

Thanks!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
Got my GTablet on Saturday, this is my first day with it at work, and I was excited.

Except it turns out my GTablet doesn't see the wifi here. It sees two of them, but not the third one that I need access too. My iPhone sees and connects with it, no problem.

I attempted to manually set the SSID, but that just results in an unconnected network showing up in the network list.

Any thoughts? It's a G router running 2.4Ghz, thats all I know about it. I believe it's a 3Com.

My GTablet is running TnT Lite 4.40.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjmoreno:
Is the network you're trying to connect to an adhoc network?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849793

Or it may be that the network has a hidden ssid?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
Asked around at work and none of the Tablet people had any ideas (all running iPads). None of the Droid users did either, since they are all on stock ROM phones. Since we're not technically supposed to use this network (why is it there?), I had to ask IT in a very hypothetical way. I'm pretty sure the tech knows why, but he responded 'hypothetically' and was cool about it. :D

We're running CISCO routers with PEAP enabled. Ooops. After doing a bit of research, doesn't look like TnT Lite handles that. So I'm going to have to try a new ROM. Thinking I may try one of the Vanilla builds.

Guess we'll find out tomorrow if I have to try a different one! :rolleyes:
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
Ok, running Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP now, it sees the network and connects with it, but none of the intranet sites work. However I can access the internet from it.

I was just wondering how many developers are using an Arc? (with developers i mean rom cookers)

--edit

wanted to post in general but was on the wrong tab :(
[Xperia Arc General] d_dan:
Ditto on this one, anything that springs to mind for future projects
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
I was more wondering what happens if we have root, ublocked bootloader. i am sure the arc has more horse power than what it has now. Maybe it's tme to learn how to build roms, i'm a Linux user so it doesn't have to be hard :D.

It would be great to see cyanogenmod on the arc :P or just tweaks to the OEM rom.
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Hopefully all the X10 devs + some N1/Desire devs will come here.

All I know is that Paul from modaco is waiting like us the ''password'' to unlock his Play, knowing it's the same File System and protections he will produce exellent roms for us.

CM7 and MIUI will surelly be adapted.

I don't think the scenario of X10 will be repeated, many devs were willing to work on custom roms but the phone was locked for a several months so they abandoned and swaped their x10.

As for the ARC it all depends on SE, sooner they release the keys and better are the chances to get many roms, the more they wait and the less devs will support the Arc ...
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
It will be great to see great roms on the ARC like CM7 and MIUI. so all we have to do is wait on the unlocked bootloader. hope to see it get released soon
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
For exemple, HTC just unveiled the Sensation with the new high resolution screen, if it gets rooted before the Arc then I will swap my Arc with one of them :eek:
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
I think the bootloader will be locked, thats what it looks like. i just read tweets from paul about bootloader

[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
So finally the Arc will be a great device for custom roms!

The hundreds of devs coming from HTC will preffer the build quality of the Arc over the cheapos LG and samsung :D
[Xperia Arc General] commodoor:
That would be great though there a lot devs with LG2X i had to choose between SE and LG but then i thought nice thing but it's LG :P

now HTC is locking everything devs would look at other phones. the Arc, Play and Neo are similar so i think if one has a custom rom porting it to another wouldn't be that hard
[Xperia Arc General] Blomkungen:
All im interested in atm is rooting

So does anyone have any idea of when we will get it rooted?
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
On the SE dev blog they said it will be ''later in spring''.

So if they want to keep their promise they have till 20th June max ;)

I think I can smell it toward end May don't ask me why :D
[Xperia Arc General] robertkarlsen:
No no, June is summer...end of May, TOPS! ;)
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
I hope this time they will keep their promise and no postpone at all!

How many time they postponed release of phones,FW updates...?

But here if they want SE Arc to be a success even among dual core phones they should release the root before SGS2 enter the market because this one will be rooted in 24h
[Xperia Arc General] robertkarlsen:
That´s true! Sony Ericsson MUST do this! Does the unlocked bootloader means root?
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
No but unlocking the bootloader means we can use fastboot command, any good dev can then build a root method in a couple of minutes or hours.

If Amon Ra and clockwork recoveries are implemented it's even better,we can then backup,wipe,format partitions to ext 2-3-4...on the phone itself exactly like on nexus one and desire :D

Custom Kernels will follow too,increasing battery life or overcloacking the cpu...

This dev section will have tons of roms to chose from :D

[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
I'm looking for an answer to this question and can't seem to find it anywhere. As we know, stock rooted is limited to two touch points. I'm told the iPad supports 10. I would love to have just 3-4 TBH. Everywhere I look, I get differing answers. Some say the limitation is hardware. Some say it's a minor software thing. Some say it's at the kernel level. If I run CM7 or HC or Nookie Froyo do I get more than two touch points? Would I need to flash a new kernel? I'm running some gaming emulators and can't press A, B, Start and Select at the same time and it's killing me. Just 3-4 touchpoints would vastly improve my quality of life at this point.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
I am sure other, more knowledgeable devs will have some input, but I will drop what i have here from personal work.

From reading the specs, we have a chip that SHOULD support up to 4 unique touch points. What we have at the software level however, is a very confusing driver that was modded by B&N, and does not seem to support more than 2. For a while, i worked on modding the driver, but could never get more than 2 points. I also used other drivers, that in theory should have worked, but would not seem to register any touches (its rather hard using a nook with no touchscreen).

Now, i don't want to say its impossible, unless it can be shown that the hardware itself is in some way lacking. The touchscreen support seems to be only limited at the kernel level, and a well written driver SHOULD support it. When we will see it though, is a mystery.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Easier would be just to buy a cheap used wiimote and a "classic controller" (get a nyko one for $10 at gamestop.)

$20 and you got yourself a portable gaming machine. It really is worth the cash to have a controller for all of those emulators. Hell, you could probably get away with just the Wiimote if you're just playing Nes/Gameboy.

Edit: Looking at amazon there are a lot of choice combinations for under $30 with shipping included. Including a Nyko Wireless Wii Classic Controller for $26 open box.
[Nook Color General] capnblackleg:
I realize I'm not addressing the touch point question but wouldn't it really make life easier to just get a Wiimote? I mean, if emulators are your thing, its hard to beat using an actual controller.
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
Yeah, that would definitely work, but then it's just one more thing I have to carry around. Then I have to worry about propping the screen up and the screen falling over when I'm using it, etc, etc... I just wanna kick back on the couch and play NBA Jam. But I have to hold a direction button, turbo and shoot all at the same time to pull off the classic dunks which obviously isn't possible with only two touches. I was just curious a) where the limitation is (hardware, Eclair, kernel, etc...) and b) is there another ROM out there that fixes it.

If it's an Eclair issue, then I'm more than happy to burn Nookie Froyo to an SD card and boot it when I wanna get my game on. If it's a hardware issue, then I'm SOL of course and if it's a kernel issue, there may be a potential fix somewhere. I had just looked and hadn't found any definitive answer. I'm not a dev so I have no clue where to even start. It would just be nice to have more than two touches.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Oh I see, sorry =(. Truth be told you'll probably just have to live without that game when on the go... I think all of the roms are going to have the same issues though, as it's my understanding they all started with the base B&N kernel and built it up.

And I know what you mean, it can be a pain to carry that stuff around if your job or life don't support it. I work in the school system so I can easily throw the stuff in my backpack for breaks. =\

Edit: I don't know what your uses of the Nook Color are, but for around a $100 you can get a used PSP that can support emulators and is very pocket friendly.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
As i had just mentioned, it is Kernel based, and not limited to any one rom. Assuming a driver can be made, it SHOULD bring multi touch to EVERY rom...
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
That answers my question. Just not the answer I wanted. Writing an app is stretching my skills. Screwing with the kernel is something I do not have the abilities to do.
