[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXJay_RXx:
okay well i had purchased a PhoneSuit Primo Power Core portable charger when i had an iPhone 4. the website states that its compatible with Android devices seeing how they sent me the mini usb adapter along with other adapters with it. i have used it on my old Galaxy Tab and it tended to charge slow. now when i hook up my TB with it, it charges EXTREMELY slow. the site states it has enough power to charge Android devices 4-5 times yet the Power Core seems to lose a lot of juice while its charging my TB. it takes a long time to even charge one percent compared to a wall outlet charger. i thought it might be the cable so i tried the OEM cable that came with the TB and same thing. does anyone know what the problem may be? any suggestions? i paid $100 for this thing when i had an iPhone. i wont want this to be useless to me now :mad:

here are the specs so no need to go to the site:

[GT540 Optimus General] darkfield:
Hey guys

i'm using clockwork recovery and want to link my phone with my computer via fastboot (for adb)

how can i do this?

thanks
[GT540 Optimus General] eoghan2t7:
power off the phone and while pressing and holding the camera button connect your usb cable ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] fdespotovski:
Or you can just turn on the phone and when the lg logo appears press and hold the camera button untill the screen goes black,with some backlight,of course.Then you can connect your usb cable.
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
ok you say you want to use adb then you just need to plug your phone no need to get in fastboot mod , even going to recovery you can use adb tool just by pluggin your phone and mounting system or data or both.

I havent tried myself use adb in fastboot mode but i think is not possible. fastboot commands where made to fastboot mode and adb for normal and recovery mode :p is what i think.

if you can tell what do you want to do exactly we might help properly.

[GT540 Optimus General] scribbclubber:
recovery or even fastboot method... how to keep userdata like messages,mails,apps and contacts on phone?

i mean without having to re-download and re-sync all personal stuffs again.
[EVO 4G General] webfeind:
Here are some things I have tried by editing the supersonic-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout .

To re-map the power function to the volume down key (for me this is more convenient) I changed the binding of key 116 (power) to the VOLUME_DOWN intent, and the binding of key 114 (volume down) to the POWER intent. And this works great.

My supersonic-keypad.kl file for this.

key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE

key 114 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED

Now I also tried to map the camera to the power button by changing the intent defined for key 116 to CAMERA. This also works great, but you have to hold the button for about 2 seconds.

Here's my supersonic-keypad.kl file for that.

key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 CAMERA

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE

key 114 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED

Now trying to be real creative knowing that you must hold to get the camera app to launch, and that the volume works when you just tap the key. I tried to map both of those intents to the power key. Now unfortunately this didn't work as intended. And had an unforeseen side effect when I power off the device.

Here's my supersonic-keypad.kl file for that.

key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE

key 114 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED

Key 116 CAMERA

The behavior expressed from this configuration is that only the camera intent would fire when android was fully loaded. And the unforeseen effect was when I powered off the device the power button didn't turn the phone back on. This doesn't make any sense to me why changing that file would cause this behavior. So I got the phone booted by disconnecting the battery and then with it out connecting the charger and then placed the battery back in. This caused the unit to turn on.

Android loaded and even then the power button did not register. I used the keynumber tracker app to see it was stuck by chance or if the intents were just not working, but the key didn't register there either.

I rebooted into recovery and even there the power button refused to work. So I changed my supersonic-keypad.kl back to my first test config with the volume down mapped to the power button and viola. The power button turns the phone back on again and works in Android as expected from my first test.

So if anyone can explain this behavior that would be great, otherwise I'm leaving this post for those whom may find them selves attempting to re-map their buttons or those that have nullified their power key and want to turn the phone back on.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
I've used multiple Busybox versions over many ROM releases. How do I install Busybox for Titanium Backup? I want to make sure that I have the right version for CM7. Thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitsuj17:
just go to "problems" in tibu and download busybox for it that way...should be fine
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrimsonKnight13:
That worked. Thanks!
[HD2 General] Korv:
I've nearly come to the end of my contract (In July) for my HD2. I got a call today saying I'm eligible for an upgrade but I'm just completely stuck!

My HD2 seems as if it is still top of the range besides the HD Recording (Desire S).

I've however managed to crack my HD2 Screen a few months ago so an upgrade may be required..

My question is, is it worth getting an upgrade and if so - What phone?

(The HTC Sensation is looking like the best candidate even though there is no release date and my network provider might not stock it by July!)

PS I am in the UK.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
I'd wait for the Sensation, any other phone wouldn't really be an "upgrade" IMO
[HD2 General] spireite_uk:
I'm in the same boat, and to be honest the SGS2 looks better than the Sensation, so I'm eyeing that up at the moment.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
the SGS2 will have some of the same things as the SGS namely less dev than HTC and no Sense port probably, or a very crude one. I don't see what the SGS2 would have over the Sensation at all to be honest.
[HD2 General] silkshadow:
You are kidding right? How about 32GB of storage (as opposed to 1GB or 4GB depending on region), USB host, 1GB of RAM (Sensation 768MB), super AMOLED, unlocked bootloader, there's more but I don't remember it all off the top of my head.

That said, I don't want to leave WM. Too many privacy problems on Android and, of course, 10x worse on iOS and its clone WP7. Me, I'm waiting for a high end WebOS phone. My next phone will be a super cheap HD2 when my curretn HD2 dies :D.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
I'd still take a sensation, that ram won't make too much of a difference, the storage can be made up with a microsd, bootloader will be unlocked...

webos is good stuff, not a bad deal,
[HD2 General] Armazia:
Your absolutely right, Windows mobile still does it for me.. At least if you got the right stuff, windows mobile is just the best. i've tried Android, but its to simple :P + it doesn't have the custome fixes as for the Windows mobile version(good led notification app, extended notifications on bottom keys, and bottom keys always on for example), HTC Sense is just way better on Windows Mobile, At least the HD2 can run anything smooth, unlike the touch pro and other phones. HD2 is the mobile.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
I gather the HD2 is not available over there? It can be bought from TMOUS on an upgrade.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
he has an HD2
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Yes, but it is breaking. I'm pointing out that another HD2 is an option (over here in the US - not sure about UK).
[EVO 4G General] brain juice:
Hi all,

After seeing the news about the iPhone and Android phones uploading location /wifi info to Apple/Google, I was curious if anyone is building or can recommend a ROM with this "feature" disabled.

Thanks and thanks to all the Devs for their great work!

[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
I just got off the phone with a rep from ATT who followed up with a complaint I filed with the BBB.

This guy was a lot nicer then past CSR's that I've talked to in the past. He informed me that ATT is aware of all the problems that people have had with the Atrix and the Inspire, and that an update coming up Late April and EARLY MAY will directly address our upload speeds.

So looks like we'll probably get our update at the end of MAY. I should have known that ATT couldn't commit to a whole MONTH to get an update out. Ridiculous. Oh well, the longer I wait, the easier it will be for me to get out of this ETF if I decide to switch.
[Atrix 4G General] DuffmasterFresh:
I don't want to believe it but I think its true.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
You say end of April and early May, then say end of May........................which is it? Early May could be May 1st!

We also have applications out already for testing the next update with Motorola, and that will more than likely start this weekend, with the update going live next week sometime if the last update test was anything to go by. That update is rumoured to address upload speeds by turning on HSUPA.

Personally, I wouldn't trust anything coming from a rep. They are there to make you feel good, especially when it relates to a complaint.
[Atrix 4G General] facetubespam:
:werd:

thread starter seems to have confused himself.

End of April/Early May is only a week or 2........ which would coincide with the recent emails of testing new software update. I say this is good news!!
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
Sorry guys, I should have clarified... The rep said beginning of May, but when I said end of May, I was inferring that ATT wasn't going to get us this update by the new timeline of early May, and that we would actually get it at the end of May because ATT would *probably* keep pushing back the update.
[Atrix 4G General] rjohnstone:
It's AT&T... the masters of stringing their customers along while they drag their feet.

I don't expect anything from them in April.

The SOAK tests haven't even been released yet, so there is no time for that testing to be completed and still make an end of April release date.
[Atrix 4G General] fincan:
Considering the likely launch of the beta test of the upgrade, if there are no deal breaking new bugs introduced, they can release the update for everyone before end of April. But when implementing new stuff you never know if you introduced new bugs until you start testing it, so I guess that's why AT&T gave you a two week window for release.

This is of course assuming the update beta testers will get is related to the HSUPA.
[Atrix 4G General] charlyee:
I was just at our local corporate store on an unrelated issue. When I mentioned the HSUPA cap and my X10 has 4+ times the upload speed of the Atrix, he was completely thrown and didn't look like he even believed me. I didn't bother asking about the upgrade after that.
[Atrix 4G General] MarcMaiden:
you have to remember that:

A- he probably uses an Iphone

B- he is a salesperson

C- 90% of AT&T salespeople are cashiers, not salesman. Meaning, if someone wants an iphone its "cash or charge?." they wont bother trying to get to know Android
[Atrix 4G General] newter55:
While they are certainly not what I would call Android savvy, almost every rep in our local store carries android phones surprisingly.
[Atrix 4G General] charlyee:
Well said. Sadly enough he carries the Inspire and I would think he would be aware of the data cap.
[Atrix 4G General] blaque72:
they can still make it by end of april..when they BETA tested 1.5.7 they still had less than a week release to general public..and this time it isnt a beta it's a pre-release so it would be a shorter turn-around
[Atrix 4G General] jumpinj:
I have found the average ATT rep, whether store, corporate, or janitor, to be quite uninformed when it comes to "release dates" or "technical knowledge"...regardless of what phone they carry.
[Atrix 4G General] madquack:
I wish people would stop believing **** until it actually happens. When the updates comes out, it comes out. I wish people would stop guessing and speculating on when it's going to be released. ATT sales reps generally don't know when the updates are coming out, the one guy I talked to didn't even know what rooting meant.

Patience is not taught at a young age anymore it seems.
[Atrix 4G General] blaque72:
I think they just need something to whine and cry about once we got speed they'll fall back on bootloader issue..Im not a att or motorola fanboy but I know crying in a unconnected forum wont change anything we ALL elected to stick with the phone despite having the chance to return it..and if you filed a BBB complaint they would have taken phone back after the 30days...so basically we all signed off on the treatment and agreed to endure by keeping the device
[Atrix 4G General] dandmcd:
Amazing how someone will actually believe what a CSR on the phone says. They stick to the script, or make things up as they go based on the same rumors we all hear.
[Atrix 4G General] madquack:
Haha, quoted for truth! I was messing with a rep the one day at a local AT&T store asking him when Android 2.2* would be available for the Atrix, and he said later this year, most definitely, then I asked him when 4G will activated and he said 4G is already enabled, which obviously he is wrong on both counts.

I left the store after telling him that the Atrix already ships with 2.2 and he should read up on the products they sell. I don't know how the guy was able to keep his job.. I can take a **** that knows more about phones than that guy. Haha.

**For the hard headed... I KNOW WE HAVE ANDROID 2.2, I WAS OBVIOUSLY ****ING WITH THE SALES REP!
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Is that exactly what he said.... basically word-for-word? "Late April and Early May"? Uuh... if that's the case, then i think it should be more like "late April AND early May"... and less the way you put it. Am i the only one that noticed the "and" in between april and may?
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
So I think you're directing this towards me, let me just explain my stance here..

Yeah I decided to keep the phone after my 30 day policy expired, my choice to do so or not.

My BBB complaint wasn't about "when I'm getting HSUPA" it was more on the constant lies, shadiness, and deceptive marketing practices that ATT employees were running by me. Most of them were uninformed, and a lot of them were very rude. The CSR that called me today was the nicest person I talked too on the phone. Other CSR's would say I'm lying, or I'm wrong when I accused of ATT crippling their phone (when in all actually ATT did, and admitted to it, not in those words). And almost every CSR rep would say I had the "wrong data plan" and that I would have to discontinue my unlimited data plan for a 4G tiered data plan to access higher download and upload speeds. Some even said I needed a new "sim" when I did have the new 4G sim already.

So the way I saw it, ATT was trying to pull more money out of me and crippling my data by making false claims.

And that was my BBB complaint in a nutshell. Sorry, when I deal with a business I'm paying $100 a month for, I'd expect their employees to be educated in their companies products and offerings. And if they don't know, then I'd expect them to find someone that does know, instead of pushing me towards other, more expensive services.

okay end /rant.

Can't wait till this bootloader is unlocked!
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
no. I meant Late April OR early may. Didn't mean to be confusing
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] german103:
So I flashed Simply Galaxy 3.0 JVB 2.3.3, and somehow it went wrong. Out of frustration i can't remember the exact result. Anyway, I odined back to stock but it gave me the black screen of death after the boot logo. So i odined to eugene's froyo that not bricks. It boots, but now I have 0.00B of application storage.

I think i tried every possible solution but still can't get the app storage back.

edit: forgot to mention that i can't flash roms through cwm as many errors pop up, here's what happens:

installing update... formatting system... formatting cache... formatting datadata... formatting data...

e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)

error mounting /data/!

*I found this thread for the fascinate, is it safe to flash on the vibrant?

Help would be greatly appreciated!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
do not flash anything that isn't fixed for use on the vibrant.

ODIN jfd to your phone and see if that fixed your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] german103:
I think i did that, I used the .tar/.pit provided by AIO Vibrant Toolbox

EDIT - flashed JFD to be sure - I get the boot logo for a few secs > black screen > boot logo again and so on...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] german103:
Update - I managed to get 250MB app storage using parted(now i am able to flash through cwm again), it looks like this:

Number Start End Size Type File system Flags

1 512B 15.7GB 15.7GB primary fat32 lba

2 15.8GB 16.0GB 247MB primary fat32 lba

Now I need to expand partition 2 since 250MB isn't enough especially when i only have like 60MB left with no apps at all.

So I guess i need to unmount /system and resize it to approx 13GB, but CWM won't allow me to unmount(error unmounting system:!). Here's where I need your help ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azizreallycool:
Cwm wil not allow you to unmount a running partition it's being used by the phone..I'll need to follow the guide precisely..at this step you hv to delete the partitions completely and then flash with Odin with the partitions option checked...and Odin wil take care of the partition size mismatch..the actual problem here is sumhow the phone makes a partition record tht doesn't exist...so the error in cwm abt the error mounting...hope this helps..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anas_ammar:
how did you do that ???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] german103:
Despite the fact that I had a lot of headache figuring this out, I don't remember for 100% what exactly I did.

What is your current partitions layout in parted?

thanks dude it's work
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Der_Caveman:
Hi!

I just want to vent my anger ;)

Has anybody noticed that there are a minimum of four "parties" that work on an android kernel tree?

First there is the android open source project.

Then there is the CodeArora project.

There is also a kernel tree at Cyanogenmod.

And last but not least we have the "manufacturer" kernel tree.

AOSP has got a common tree and an individual tree for each architecture- just like Cyanogenmod.

CodeAurora has got multiple(!) trees for a single architecture.

The manufacturer seems to use some of CodeAurora's trees in the majority of cases.

Ah- I forgot the "original" linux kernel tree :rolleyes:

This way we never get the most efficient and most stable kernel.

Just my two cents:cool:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
you're right, but not only the kernel is used. LG takes code from codeaurora project - have seen this in code from the frameworks base tree^^

but on the other side: better they use community code as own code that didn't works perfect :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bytecode:
WTF? LG really takes his sources from CodeAurora?!?!?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
Well since code aurora is dedicated to qualcomm SoCs if i were a kernel developer i wud start with that tree..one question though does codeaurora contain gb kernel (.35) source for our msm7227 ??? u guys checked it out ???even if they theres a lot of other hardware that are going to need proprietary drivers i guess... THird world peripherals make porting tougher.. its just my take correct me if i m wrong
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
my kernel patches are taken from the codeaurora .35 source, but i can't adopt the complete kernel. there is a "must understand" and "must have many time" to do that:(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Der_Caveman:
That is exactly the problem!

I cannot really judge which patch from which tree is good- because I have not the time to read through Qualcomm's manuals (if they are public at all) and the kernel source.

If they would concentrate on one tree everything would be fine (ok- if you look at the "chaos commits" in the git repositories you become sick ;) )
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarfaraz1989:
@caveman u working on a P500 kernel ??? how is porting so friggin easy for HTC devices..Do they have open source driver /generic hardware or what i mean a few of em even got a honeycomb partial port forget 2.3 ....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
LG have some specific (old) hardware - they are using qualcomm hardware, but it's to old for newer kernel sources. the other problem is low cost hardware like the display - ms6000 is never used today, new devices are using samsung displays.

look at the wlan/smd chip - bcm4325 is never supported, bcm4329 is newer and is in kernel .38 too ... do you know, what i mean?

old hardware drivers are rare in kernels - never used drivers gets removed from tree, so there is no chance to bring it back.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
ofcourse that's why it's called EVOLUTION :P

so it looks like u were right about getting a new phone :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
yes, it's marketing strategy and its ok - but why should i buy me a new device, when my is doing a good job? :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] taha198:
+1 agreed 100% with andy.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rivett:
Do you mean the drivers sources were in the old kernel and are removed in the new one? If so, I mean we have the old sources, why is it so difficult to port them to the new kernel sources? I am not a kernel developer so probably I am missing something:(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
code isn't moved but deleted.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Der_Caveman:
Has anybody found out the CodeAurora git commit on which LG's V10r is based on?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] youngt_07:
So.. I might be the only one experiencing this but i haven't had any data since i flashed asop newest rom... re-flashed, called vm, bought the new $199 phone, called again and they told me to wait 48 hrs..? Has anybody else experienced this dreadful b/s?

:confused:

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ariel_jesus237:
Did u have data before you flashed? Was your phone activated? What recovery are you using? If I recall correctly, in the ROM thread there are a few suggestions to getting it working again; such as going into emergency programming mode or something like that, as well as re-flashing the stock ROM, activating, then flashing.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Dr.Alani:
Have you setup the APNs after flashing?

I use a tool called "APN backup and restore".

If the APN is already installed and not working, try switching to airplane mode and back.

If it is not installed, you will need to set it up either through you service provider or manually. (I don't know what your carrier is).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ariel_jesus237:
Lol well most everyone on here with the Optimus V will be on Virgin Mobile.
