Where could I have clicked it?

If you mean when it ask if you want to erase card. No because it was fine for a couple hours. The phone not reading the card. When I try to take pictures. It says insert sd card.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Are you sure the SD card is all the way in? Or if you plug it into the computer will it read it?
[Droid X General] qGa:
Yes, and no. somehow it got damaged.

I'm not sure if there is a way to get the data off or not like you can a hard drive.....
[Defy General] bokeron2020:
Hi.

I have 2 Defys. One of them works OK. The other one is wasting battery while suspended.

No, it's not because of normal use, syncing, GSM signal strenght, settings, widgets or ROM. I've tested all of that and more, and I've compared to my other Defy that works OK, setting them up exactly the same. I've even exchanged SIM cards...

What I currently believe is happening is... that a hardware defect or a driver bug is preventing the SIM card to enter a suspend state, and this causes the suspend process to use too much CPU time and therefore wastes battery while the phone should be sleeping.

I've posted a thread at Motorola's Owner forum :

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47721

There I wrote the whole story, since I believed it was a simple settings problem, until Android's Andy McFadden gave me his (informal & preliminary) oppinion.

The last messages on the 2nd page are my current findings, included some relevant lines from my kernel logs... but to fully understand it I guess reading the whole thread may help.

Anyways... I have 3 questions. Please help me:

1. Do you think this can be caused by a faulty SIM card ?

2. Do you think one of my phones might be less tolerant to "something" in my service provider's SIM cards, thus causing one phone to malfunction while the other is working OK ?

3. If you think this can be caused by a phone's hardware defect... care to elaborate your explanation ?
[Defy General] qrv:
I have found your thread on Motorola owners' forum while googling battery drain issues.

Your bug seems similar to mine. My Defy eats about 4-5% per hour BUT even in Airplane mode with no SIM inserted. Of course, all syncing stuff/WiFi/GPS is disabled. This happened after flashing Froyo, downgrade to Eclair didn't help. I have tried to flash different ROMs, calibrated battery using different methods, but no luck, phone life can't go over 24h in standby mode. And yes, battery was replaced too.

It doesn't look like Suspend process prevents my phone from sleep (Running:1.2%, Screen on: 0.8% ) but who knows, maybe if you find a solution it can help me too. I'll keep watching your posts, good luck :)
[Defy General] bokeron2020:
Today I've got a duplicate and physically different SIM card... but the bug isn't affected by the change.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmhil:
Hi guys,

I've been playing around with my Nexus S for about 3 weeks and I've decided to root it, but I have some question, I've been searching the answers in older posts but it's not quite clear yet, hope you can help me.

When I unlocked the bootloader, what kind of data will be wiped? It's just the SD card or also all the apps I've already downloaded? what about SMS, pictures and videos?

Is there anyway I can backup that data considering I haven't root it yet???

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LINKSLOVESANDROID:
dont do it man. i just got my phone yesterday at 1 pm and its now 12am and its bricked by lack of support from the cummunity. i studyied and studied 4 around 10 hours. then bricked my device. and i have a good idea i wont be getting a replacement this time
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
lol what? its nobodys fault but your own. all the resources are available, just because somebody isnt responding to your threads and holding your hand to restore a nandriod backup doesnt make it a "lack of a community".. and your phone isn't bricked, it can be recovered but you are too close-minded and cant install Clockwork Recovery / get drivers working

The data that will be wiped are most likely your SMS/settings/etc. This is standard procedure. And its something you'll go through a lot when you are using custom ROMs.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Netconn:
There are complete instructions for rooting, unrooting and unbricking your phone. It's all here in the forums, and many other places, you just have to look and learn. I read for two weeks before I unlocked and loaded a ROM into my NS.

If you don't have a need to root your phone I wouldn't do it just because you can. I wanted to run the Voodoo app so I had to root and load a ROM. It took a little while but it was painless and I liked learning about the Android system.

You do have to backup your app and your SD, but that was the easy part.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
It's close to impossible to brick a nexus device. They purposely come with totally open boot loaders specifically for that purpose!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
its not only Nexus devices but like I said people are using the term brick wrong. with these new phones coming out, a lot of them are hard to brick.

if you're phone is able to get into recovery/start/download mode (odin not popular but still an option)/bootloader then its not bricked.

if its unable to start in any form or way.. its considered a brick. please stop using the term in its wrong definition.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmhil:
I think guys you have lost focus about my question, it's not about how to root (there is a lot of info about), it's about what kind of data will be wiped and how to back it up

What's the best way to do it? It's there an app or I have to day it by myself?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trae23451:
Make a nandroid backup first and foremost! Use Titanium Backup to make a backup of all your apps. If you want a backup of your sms, go sms pro really does a great job of that. Dont forget your contacts as well! Then copy your sd card and place it on the hard drive of your computer. When you unlock the bootloader, it does wipe your sd card. Once your unlocked and rooted, you should be able to restore everything once you replace the copy of your sd card back on the phone. Coming over from a Vibrant, I was nervous about rooting the phone but its an easy process. Just take your time and do lots of reading! Hope this helps!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmhil:
Thenx, but I still have one doubt, if I haven't root my phone yet, will nandroid or titanium work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trae23451:
Woops..yeah, your right there. Too quick to reply. I followed this method here..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895545

and had no problems. Once you get unlocked/rooted and clockwork recovery, then you can make the fore mentioned backups. Export your contacts to the sd card then copy the sd card to the hard drive of your computer before unlocking the boot loader. I do not think apps get affected during the sd wipe unless you have them stored there.

i followed the instructions to flash gri74 back to stock and my phone wont turn on, wont goto any mode, wont read that its hookedup to my pc

isnt that what we call a brick? ive had issues on a galaxy s with this game issue. htc devices i can fly through the root procedure but i got this 1 rooted, tried reflashing to stock and the phone wont turn on at all.

may i suggest a noob proof guide|? i postted 1 in the htc desire forum and people love it. yesterday i returned a moto xoom because ti was overheating , got a nexus s and 2day il b returning that because it wont turn on. can any1 help me think of a good idea i can tell the future shop return people?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
you are forced to lose your data to initially root your device. then after that point, you can always create backups and never lose data again while you switch between ROMs and flashing etc. but i think to initially root, you have to lose everything. not the sd card though.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
Do keep in mind, we don't have an i9020 or an i9023, we have an i9020A So the instruction out there all need to take that into considerations. I rooted mine fine with no "Bricking" I had to follow the instruction for the i9023, but it worked. I figure it took me all of 1 minute to root my phone. Admitedly, the "One click root" for the Galaxy series was easier.

I try to make it a point to never be the "First" person to do something on their phone. Much safer that way.

I also find it very unusual that you've managed to brick two phones, I've also had the pleasure of owning the telus fascinate, and not once did i get it bricked, I tried Bionics, CM7, Darky's and a bunch of other ones. Just never mess with the boot loader. When you went back to stock, did you make sure it was a stock ROM for the I9020A?

Have you tried connecting the USB to a computer, holding the volume up (or in the case of the galaxy, both up and down) While powering on the device? I've had to use that a few times to recover my galaxy (Thank you odin!!).

Now in regards to the OP, I would recommend using a program like Ti to back everything up, unlock the bootloader then restore from Ti, it's a little more hassel, but you can pretty much keep your settings and data. Personally, i rooted my phone before configuring a single thing on it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
there is no way to make a good backup without rooting.

basically yes, you will lose all your settings

there are a few apps you can use to backup your apk before unlocing/rooting the phone.

look for App admin on market https://market.android.com/details?id=az.mecid.appadmin&feature=search_result

the stuff backed to SD does not get wiped

only the internal storage stuff
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i took about 12 minutes total to unlock my bootloader, flash clockwork, and flash a custom rom. its not difficult if you pay attention to what you read. youre phone is not bricked. btw, i read your threads. if you werent so demanding, i would have helped. use the pdanet website the next time you need to install the proper driver, and follow the directions that they give you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Netconn:
When I unlocked I used Astro to back up my apps, I turned on the Google data sync to back up my contacts and I did a back up of my SD on my computer.

When the unlock and recovery was done NS asked for my Google account then it restored all my contacts, Astro restored all my apps and I restored my files from my computer. A few steps but not difficult at all.

You will have to redo your accounts and data, and maybe an app or two won't load but the market will show them installed, just reinstall any that didn't.

Make sure you follow the directions properly in the forum. I had to use two computers to get it to work, but it did work and nothing was damaged.

With all that said.... This was the first time I have ever owned or altered an Android phone. Sure I was nervous... Now I'm hooked.. haha

I wound up using NSCollab .17 so far so good..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
First thing I did when I got my phone was fastboot oem unlock.

Even if you don't want to root, use another ROM. Fastboot unlock it so your data doesn't get wiped.

If your hardware and everything seems okay, then flash Clockwork Recovery and do a nandroid backup so you can restore to pre-flashing point if you need it for OEM purposes.

Afterwards, go crazy and flash like theres no tomorrow and find something that you'll like.

And agreed with simms. You've made so made so many threads about this. I would help you step by step but I've been busy so I can't do that anymore. But if you search, you'll find about two or three threads where I did help somebody get their phone to a working state.

The basic idea is... if your phone doesn't boot but you can get to recovery.

- Download a ROM or Nandroid backup

- Install USB drivers

- Fastboot oem unlock (if you haven't)

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (or whatever the recovery.img is named) should be in /sdk/tools

- reboot into recovery (adb reboot recovery)

- mount and storage: mount USB, put the nandroid backup or ROM onto phone

- nandroid restore or flash a ROM (wipe factory,dalvik,cache --> flash ROM (if its CM7.. flash gapps afterwards)

- reboot

your phone boots. alternatively, you can use Odin but thats not a popular method but the choice is available if you wish to go towards that approach

I have 3 android devices: htc dream (g1), htc desire hd and the viewsonic g tablet.

I've been using the latter two as day to day devices while the former is just an old phone. Yesterday, (against my better judgement), I rooted my old g1 and installed gingerbread. I ran the android market on it and shortly after, all my apps listed under «my apps» disappeared from the market on my desire hd and g1 tablet. Now the page just shows my purchased apps and tells mè I have nothing installed on my devices.

The web market works just fine. What the heck is going on?
