Dear All,

First thankyou so much for the great forum we have here, I am using Huawei Ideos u8150, the fone is network locked so I played around, being a total noob I started with installing sdk, and rooted my fone using z4root, rooting was successful

No when I try to copy a modified build.prop to the systems folder in root explorer, the file is copies but is not visible, also I have deleted the original build.prop & I am afraid to reboot the fone,

can restoring the fone to factory settings solve this ? also how come I copy the file to system folder, it gets copied and I still cant see it ?

I have tried pushing the file using ADB command line but the device refuses to mount (persmission denied)

I would really be thankful to anyone who can guide a noob like me, if you dont this forum has enough reasons to love it already,

cheers !

Moderators if by any chance I have placed this query in the wrong part of forum, please let me know in which part I should raise it, thanks !
[General Questions and Answers] laie1472:
In the top right hand corner or left it should be a r/o button. If you push that to r/w which is read/write you will be able to copy the bp correctly. Don't forget to mount as r/o which is read only before you exit RE. Then reboot. If you made a backup which you should have done before modding the bp you will be ok to reboot. If anything goes wrong just do a restore. Also you can Redownload the current rom your on to your cpu. Then extract it to a folder on your desktop. Then browse threw all the folders untill you see the stock build prop. Copy&paste it to your sd and that's your stock build prop. Hope this helps. Good luck

[General Questions and Answers] cknaveed:
thanks for the kind help, I have tried doing that, I have rooted it, the I click on the r/o button and then I did copy the new built.prop to systems folder, the copying process completes, doesnt report any error but still there is no file visible by the name of built.prop, I just cant find it, is it hidden ? or is it not being copied in the first place ? & thanks I would try to extract the stock built.prop, and copy it to the folder but I will do it as a last option till I dont find something else,

thanks a million for the help, would apprciate if you can point it what I am doing wrong :)

[HD2 General] essexgt425:
howdy all, im new to the forum havent really had a chance to have much of a browse yet.

have had my hd2 for a while now and tbh im no overly impressed with it, whether or not that's just me not being able to get to grips with it im unsure of, but it always seems to be glitching, takes a while to do anything locks up quite a lot many problems.

just wondering is there anyway of making the whole thing run more smoothly?

any help would be greatly appreciated, and bare with me as im so out of touch with phones nowadays.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Well I assume you are still using the stock Windows Mobile ROM. Do this go to Settings>About Phone>Software Information and tell us what ROM and radio you have right now as I bet you are not on the most recent ROM as the older Windows Mobile ROMs were unstable.
[HD2 General] essexgt425:
it says im running

rom version 1.43.110.2 (70315) wwe

radio version 2.04.50.22_2
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
T-Macgnolia was right your HD2 is running stock from way back from launch day...

The latest radio is 2.15.50 while the latest stock rom is somewhere in the 3.0 range

If you want to stick with stock try flashing the latest T-mobile / HTC update... make sure you backup anything and everything because you never know what might happen.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah you are running a much older ROM. I can also tell from that ROM version you are using a EU HD2. Go to HTC.com and looks for ROM upgrades and then enter your serial number that is behind the battery and see what the latest ROM version for your HD2. If it says you can use a 3.14 ROM download it and flash it to your HD2. They should have some instructions on the HTC site telling you how to do this. It is simple really come post back here if you have questions. Also you can flash a custom ROM from here on on XDA, you can run Android from your SD card if you want while still having Windows Mobile on your HD2, you can flash Android to your HD2 doing away with Windows Mobile (I run Android right now), and you can flash Windows Phone 7 to your HD2 of you want. But try out a better stock ROM first as it will give you some experience flashing a ROM. Take a look a my guide in my signature as it will teach you some about what I just mentioned, and AI have links to guides on how to install Android or Windows Phone 7.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there is yet a widget that will toggle LTE on and off with one click. I'm not asking for one, I'm curious about what makes this difficult to do. I'm sure if it were a simple thing someone would have done it already.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
I don't know what u guys r talk n bout it absolutely is a toggle u can choose to: turn off radio completely or set to auto or 3g only or 3g/4g or 4g only or even 1x. It's pretty great. Much more than JUST info.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbh87:
You are missing the keyword, WIDGET, as you can place it on your homescreen and toggle it without going into the settings.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
Like I said, its def. not a widget. Crap, that would be more convenient. I'll try to pay more attn.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
There is one included on power widget add-on 4 virusROM but its only 4g on-off not 3g/4g n I couldn't get it to turn back on but must be a way. Definately turned off tho. Or do u mean for 3g/4g?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] You.:
I meant one that will toggle between 4G and 3G, I haven't seen a widget that will do a one touch switch between 4G and 3G.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper Daimao:
I was wondering this too. Is there some limitation to it? Did htc not include an api to switch 4G on and off? I believe there's WIMAX 4G widgets and tasker can turn WIMAX 4G on and off, what's different about LTE? The fact that WIMAX is a wifi standard while LTE is is GSM and verizon 3G is cdma?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
No they did not because there is no reason to.

Sprint uses 4G more like a hotspot. You enable it, it searches for a 4G signal then connects you to one. If it doesn't find one it gets re disabled.

On our phones, the phone is constantly searching for a 4G signal so when you go to a 3G zone from 4G it automatically switches. I understand you guys are probably worried about battery life which does take a hit from using this in that case you are kind of SOL until someone finds something.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
Set your phone to CDMA Auto (PRL) seems to use less battery, and connects to LTE when available with no issues. Found that tip here in one of the forum posts. I'm rooted, but still running stock. Waiting for Inherits from Chingy. :-)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
I'm working on a widget for it. I found the file/java class it calls to you when switch between lte/auto (inside settings.apk after you decompile it). Just need to code a simple widget interface button for it and toggle between LTE and EVDO. I have finals this week, but at worse, I'll have time this weekend.

I've never made a widget before, but it gives me a chance to learn by making one that's useful. Learn by experience is the best kind of learning imho :)

This is incorrect.

@Viper, what am I missing? It's how I have mine set up and things are running quite well.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcantrell:
I can't speak for others but i think what everyone is looking for is one that goes to the CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto if the toggle is switched to on and if its switched to off then it switches to CDMA auto (PRL). I have traveled to a few areas where there is no 4G and i think a Widget toggle using those settings would be great. Sure the LTE on/off app works great, but why not have a cool switch that you can place on the homescreen.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper Daimao:
CDMA auto is 3g. LTE is 4g. LTE/EVDO switches between 4g and 3g. If CDMA turned on 4g there would be no reason for that option and LTE/EVDO.

I guess the location of the volume rocker sound is not device specific, so has anyone found where it is? I want to replace the sound with something else, but I can not find the file location. It's not in /system apparently, or I am looking in the wrong places.
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
Hi guys :)

It's 7 mp3 files in /system/media/audio/ui

Download THESE and put them in your ui folder...works for me :)

It's 7 mp3 files with silence, you can also try deleting them, but I'm not sure what happens :)

Cheers ;)
[HTC Desire S] lbt:
That doesn't seem to work for me. I put the files in /system/media/audio/ui via "adb pull" and verify they are there, but that doesn't change anything. Rebooting the phone doesn't help either.

What firmware are you on? I'm using Android 2.3.4 (Cyanogen 7).
[HTC Desire S] Dr.Romca:
I think you mean ADB push, right?? If you used pull, you'd be copying those files from your phone and overwriting those on your PC...

the syntax goes:

adb shell mount /system
adb push volume-1.mp3 system/media/audio/ui/volume-1.mp3
adb push volume-2.mp3 system/media/audio/ui/volume-2.mp3
...etc...

But it si possible that CM7 has these sounds elsewhere, so try searching for .wav/.mp3/.ogg file in the ROM...

It is also possible these are packed in some .apk file as a resource...in that case you need to find what .apk file it is, decompile it, replace those sounds, recompile it and push back....
[Nook Color General] clouser:
I am running rooted 1.1, and want to create a backup before I take the plunge on CM7. I reboot using Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager, and access the backup menu.

This is what always happens:

Reboot into recovery

Choose Backup and Restore

Choose Backup

......

ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.1.0

SD Card space free: 949MB

Backing up boot...

Backing up system...

Can't mount /system!

I then go back out and choose 'Mounts and Storage' to try to manually mount the volumes. From here I can see that /cache and /sdcard is mounted, but I cannot mount /system or /data.

Any ideas??? I really want to back up my my stock unit before trying CM7...
[Nook Color General] bdcrim:
1.1 functions with clockwork 3.0.0.5. I don't think you will get a backup with 3.0.1.0 because it writes to a different partition. You may need to burn 0.5 to an sd card or revert to 0.5 do your backup and then reload 1.0.
[Nook Color General] clouser:
The oldest version I could find in ROM Manager was 3.0.0.6. I reverted to that version, but it did not work any better. Now when I tell it to reboot, it will only reboot back into recovery, I cannot get it to reboot back into Eclair. I never had a problem rebooting out of recovery mode on 3.0.1.0. What the heck is going on? I did make sure no SD cards were in during the reboots.

I did go download an offline copy of 3.0.0.5 to try from SD, but I need to get back into Eclair so I can update my Nook to use the older CWR via ADB...
[Nook Color General] Josh H.:
Here's your answer!

Hey, I had this

exact

problem. Here is the solution:

1) Download the .zip update for ClockworkMod 3.0.1.0 and put it on your SD

2) Flash CWM from ROM Manager (NOT the "old" one, just the regular one)

3) Reboot to CWM

4) From CWM, install the .zip CWM update file

Reboot to android, then reboot to recovery (using ROM Manager or whatever other means you like, doesn't matter) and you'll be able to do a backup.

Hope this helps!
[Nook Color General] clouser:
i found an sd bootable versionof CWM, it as 3.0.0.5, but said it was 1.1 compatable. I booted off SD, and this copy worked. I backed up, formatted, and flashed the new ROM. However, as soon as I removed the SD and rebooted, it took me right back to the CWM that is on my eMMC! What gives???

I still cannot reboot back into android:(

Fist of all, I must thank ijestan for telling me this apps via private message in Facebook.

Dont forget to thank ijestan as well!

After I get the help from the developers, finally I know how it works right now.

I just help ijestan to transfer the information for you guys.

Here is the video if you wondering how it works.

[YOUTUBE]tooXcvlPbxk[/YOUTUBE]

1st. You need Screen Off and Lock that available for free on market. Please purchase the donate version form the developers too if you like this app.

2nd. Download and install.

3rd. Long press your home > insert shortcut > applications > "Configure Screen Off and Lock" and place it in your home.

4th. Open the apps drawer, search for "Screen off and lock", long press it and place it in home.

5th. Press Configure shortcut and select Delay device locking and choose the animation you want.

6th. Press the Screen Off and lock that you have taken from the app drawer and then press "activate"

7th. Go to display setting, under animation, choose "all animation"

8th. Go back to your home page press "screen off and lock", and your animation will be working like in the video!

9th. Repeat step 8 to use the animation every time you want to switch off the screen.

NOTE:

1st. This apps will not working if your device animation is in "No animation" or "Some animation".

2nd. You can place the "screen off and lock" under your dock in launcher pro or adw launcher.

3rd. You can place the "screen off and lock" under cyanogenmod settings > input > search key behaivour > long press or press search key > application > screen off and lock. So every time you press search / long press search, the animation will be working.

[Captivate General] caribbean_spur:
Hi guys,

I just bought a captivate from a authorized ATT dealer, it is a refurbished and I have always been lucky with refurbished products so I did not think twice about getting it. However I won't have a warranty on it, so I am starting to reconsider, thinking that if I have one that randomly shutdown, I will be stuck with a faulty phone and will lose my money since apparently nothing really fixes the problem completely.

So, I have the option to return the phone within 7 days, should I just forget about this phone and just send it right when I get it and just pick another phone. If I had a year to try it, I would keep it, but 7 days... I just don't know what to do, any advice?
[Captivate General] wuddersup:
Did you already try using setCPU to up the minimum frequency to 200Mhz? Worked for me and many others!
[Captivate General] caribbean_spur:
No, I am supposed to receive the phone on Tuesday, but I am asking in advance because I only have 7 days to return it and for what I read on the board the problem might not show up right away. If there was a fix that unanimously worked I had no issue keeping the phone but it seems like a lot of fixes only work for a minority. Am I wrong and I missed the fix that is believed to work for most?
[Captivate General] wsxedcc:
Why would you accept a faulty phone when you know for the same price, you could have gotten a phone w/o fault.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Refurbs are warranted for 90 days.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
Confused on how changing the cpu frequency could prevent showdowns since the problem is faulty ram
[Captivate General] jokes1:
Like miami said. U should have 90 day warranty on a refurb.
[Captivate General] 98XJ:
I just recieved a refurb on warranty because my "New" Captivated had the dreaded shutdown issue. I tried SetCPU on it but to no avail. Funny thing is it didn't start happening until after the Froyo upgrade... darn closet gremlins. The refurb is an older build date than the one I purchased new and so far so good. I'd imagine that since it is a factory refurb it is up to par in specs since they recognized and addressed the shutdown issue. I wouldn't sweat it.
[Captivate General] caribbean_spur:
Well, it is a ebay purchase so the return policy is just what the seller is saying. So how would I get 90 days warranty?

Is it now sure it is a faulty ram? Would newer phone not have the problem then?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
im not sure, you are going to have to look it up,

but the shut down issue only affects the older build numbers

i believe

.

i think... never had the issue so havent specifically read up on it.. just what i think i remember in reading though thousands of posts....

not sure what the build number was....
[Captivate General] Nerz:
My build number and imei is in the range of the shutdown issue. It is a refurb from a insurance claim, so maybe that's why I don't have a shutdown problem.
