[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toya10:
I'm sitting here plugging away at work, my Evo on the charger and boom just shuts off. It wont come on. I rooted last August and havent had any issues. Recently I flashed the a new GB rom but went back to the Unleashed ROM, that was Monday or Tuesday. I got it to go into recovery and restored my nandroid and it rebooted fine. Then boom 2 hrs later same thing so this time I wiped everything and then attempted to restore this time dead not rebooting. Any ideas what is going on? The charge light is blinking red as if it were charging but ive done battery pull after battery pull and tried to reboot. no luck trying to get back to recovery now but Im just not sure what is going on here! Im at a loss any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Let it keep charging. i was undervolted highly on my evo, I let it die from use, then it flashed red while charging...leave it on the charger, then try again in maybe 5/10 minutes. Hopefully it'll come on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
Battery light should not blink when charging, it should be solid.

Did you play with any of the trickle charging kernels? That could be an issue.

Sounds like something is wrong with you phone/battery/charger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toya10:
Ok I will try that! Do you know how this happens? Is it the ROM? I dont have a custom kernal well...scratch that I have the kernal that is baked into my ROM. I let it sit for a while and try it again. :( Ill report back and let you know. Thanks :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toya10:
No ive stayed away from those kernals for that very reason UNLESS its one built into the Kernal I flashed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Personally, I don't know. It has only happened 1 time, since I am additionally 100mv undervolted, on the already undervolted Tiamat kernel. I suspect that its trying to charge, but not getting enough voltage to register. I left it on the charger for a bit, and it came on like normal. But yea, keep it on the charger, and try to turn it on maybe every 5 minutes. I'll be around. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Also, if you have another charger to try out, I would do that as well. Sometimes the charging cable can fail and go bad. The only time I've ever had a red blinking led is when my battery died 100 % for whatever reason, and then tried charging it wth USB. It didn't have enough juice to.charge. I had to go right to the wall charger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
That, or it could be the battery itself.

Whew back in business!

Dear sweet baby Jesus in a Manger I was having serious withdrawls and panic attacks which lets me know how much of an EVO addict I really am, but as usual you guys were right I love XDA...I had my phone on the charger right...weeeellll yeah it wasnt plugged in so it died like to the point of no return I got my Directors extended battery and knew it wasnt the phone its self. I had to wait until I got home to swap batteries and charge the other on the wall. The charge from the computer wasnt doing it you guys were right! So all is well and good I have batteries all charged today and even got an awesome deal on an extended battery for 5.98 at Amazon *happy dance* Thanks again guys for all your help! Again you rock! :D

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldDogEyes:
I picked up one of the G-Tablet's when they went on sale last week for $279. I have a little experience rooting Android devices as I use a rooted Nook Color daily for surfing, email and games.

I followed the instructions located on the Cyanogenmod forum here: Installation Instructions

I downloaded the Clockwork file, unzipped it and copied it to the internal memory. When I try to reboot by holding down the power button and the volume up button and letting go when I see the Viewsonic logo, I never see the "recovery mode" text. If I continue to hold the power button and the volume button the unit turns off.

Since the above instructions clearly state to put the files on the internal memory of the device, that's what I did. I know because I didn't have an SD card inserted at first.

When I couldn't get into recovery mode I inserted an SD card, formatted it and copied the files (the recovery folder + the update.zip) onto it by inserting it into the memory card slot on my laptop. Then I tried to reboot into recovery mode and had the same results ... If I let go of the power and volume-up buttons, it booted normally. If I held those buttons the unit powered off.

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: I also tried it with both of the CW versions (internal & MicroSD) located on XDA with the same results...

Many thanks!

Doug
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
Two things...

1) Hold the Volume Up key until you see the words "Recovery Key Detected" in the upper left corner of the screen while the VS Birds logo is on the screen.

2) Make sure it's the Volume Up. If your screen is going black then it's likely that your holding Volume Down and going into APX mode.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OldDogEyes:
Thanks for your reply....

I'm definitely holding the volume up... And the screen goes black...

I tried holding the power and volume up continuously.... And then tried releasing the power button when the birds appeared while continuing to hold down the volume up button ... In both cases I get a black screen after about 3-4 seconds.

I'm probably missing something obvious/simple...

CORRECTION... I'm an idiot -- I was holding the volume down button. Yep, I feel stupid.

Thanks,

Doug
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
You're not an idiot, you're inexperienced ;-)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickndave21:
So I have a similar but different problem I was hoping someone can help with. I also just recently purchased a G tablet.Read all the instructions copied over the 2 clockwork mod files to the root folder of SDcard 1, rebooted pressing the +volume. So the notes in the top left. It shows me a picture of a box unpacking like its going to do something. Screen goes black, I see birds again and it boots into the android os.

I have tried it several times, including never letting go of the +volume ever and it just continues to reboot.

I have not put on any mods yet.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] ockty3:
I know that there are several threads explaing how to move you apps from phone memory to SD card but this is not what I need.

I want to know if there is a way of installing an application directly to my SD card. I want to install an application that is bigger than my hole phone memory so I can't put it first on phone and move it afterwards.

I have a HTC Hero with 2.1 on it, with root and superuser.

Until now I user Link2SD ( something similar with apps to SD) but it can't be user now.

//sry if there is another thread explaining how to do this but I couldn't find it.
[General Questions and Answers] landoftheeskimos:
If you know the directory on the sdcard to install the app into its easy with ADB.

example for mine with sd-ext partition for extra programs

adb remount

adb push stuff.apk /sd-ext/app

replace "stuff.apk" with the actual file obviously.

and it should auto install

In the Link2SD forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=919326

It seems to use /data/sdext2 instead of /sd-ext/app

hope that helps
[General Questions and Answers] baaa3:
But I think it still uses a place in the memory (same as installing in the memory then moving it to the SD card)!!
[General Questions and Answers] maersi:
Just an idea...

I have not tried this, but how about,

1) Create a large folder on the sd card big enough to hold all existing apps and your new app.

2) Copy all app files from installation folder in phone memory to sd folder.

3) Rename phone folder (just so it is not found)

4) Create symlink for this folder to sd folder.

5) Install your app.

6) Move new app to SD.

7) Copy any residual files from the installation into the original folder (I don't believe that any apps install 100% on SD).

8) Delete symlink,

9) Rename phone folder back to original name.

Obviously, renaming and symlinking will have to be done using ADB in recovery mode, and may need an ext partition.

Messy, maybe dangerous, and may not even work.

How badly do you want to install this big app? ;)
[General Questions and Answers] TBBle:
Just came across this thread while looking for the same solution, and thought I'd share what I came up with what I did:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 3
adb install -e Package.apk
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

The "pm" commands change the default installation target to SD-Ext. I'm not sure they're needed.

The -e switch to "adb install" isn't in the adb docs, but when I ran "pm" on my device directly, that's the switch to use with pm install to install to SD-Ext. I assume adb is just passing the switches to "adb install" through to "pm install".

This was done on a HTC Dream running "Froyo by Laszlo", a CyanogenMod Froyo build with Native App2EXT [Magpie], so your mileage may vary.
[Android Software Development] sirjoeyg:
The only area i see apple having a leg up on Android is in Apps. If google would keep their apps like google maps exclusive to Android (like apple does with their apps) that would be a big game changer IMO.

Though I hate apple they do have some great apps for pictures, movie creating/editing, music creating/editing and presentation creating/editing. Which in turn makes their ipad a lot more productive.

I wish Google would bring that same level of productivity to Android.
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
Ya but, some android tablets have a kick stand, that's definitely "a leg up"
[Android Software Development] domtra:
I own the Motorola Xoom and can honestly say it is FAR better then the Ipad 2 in every possible way.

Even if the market isn't as robust as Apples...the apps are growing on a daily basis. Plus most of the standard phone apps DO work on the tablet.
[Android Software Development] hiv0lt:
It's hard to compare iPad's one year old app store to Honeycomb's 2 month old market.

At least Maps has more functionality in the Android version like Navigation, syncing My Maps, vector mapping and multitouch rotating to name a few.

But you can't blame Google for wanting to get their apps in front of as many users as possible. More views = more ad clicks.
[Desire HD General] Flussen:
Do you pay a lot for your phone contract and all you get are slow up and down speeds on 3G/H/G?

Here is a nice fix to boost your data connections a little bit:

Open your build.prop (it's in ./system) file on your phone with Root Explorer or any other file explorer with a root option (e.g. ES File Explorer) and search the following lines:

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

Then edit the values to any other values (for example 12, 8 and 10, depends on your location and on your carrier). Save it and reboot your device. Once it's rebooted run a speedtest with any app, i suggest the SpeedTest.net app, and check if it's faster or not.

You have to try some values to find the best settings for you, mine are 12, 8 and 10.

My speeds before the fix: ~3mbit/s down and ~ 1.5mbit/s up

After the fix: ~4mbit/s down and ~2mbit/s up

Happy testing and have fun with your faster mobile internet :D

To add more fuel to the speculative fire, the weather widget clearly states "Seattle", which is the home base of T-Mobile USA. In light of all the evidence, I think it's safe to treat the rumored 6/8 release date as fact.
