[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I'm obviously missing something here and your post isn't very clear. Why would you need to root your device just to use an extended battery? That doesn't make any sense. All you should have to do is put the extended battery on a charger and charge it until it is full and then for a few hours more initially, unless the directions state otherwise. Afterwards, insert it in the back of your EVO, turn on your device and voila! If your device isn't functioning after doing that, assume you have a defective extended battery and return it to where you got it from.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Your gonna have to go through like 5-6 FULL/discharge sessions. Charge it for like 3 hours after it hits 100% and then disconnect it and dont charge it UNTIL it completely dies. Then do it again like 5 times.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjay203:
Everyone keep saying I should root my phone for it to work correctly
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thats so you can install a SBC Kernel but forget about that. Just do the full charge/discharge cycles and your battery should be good in like 3 days.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjay203:
Iight Imma do it that way now
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Even HTC said do NO fully discharge your batery, so I'll take anyone that poists that as bad information.

Here's what works for me:

Here's what I do, and I get PHENOMINAL Battery life.

There are two ways of conditioning a battery that stand out above the rest, and I combine them.

Download the battery monitor widget/app

Set it to your battery's maH in settings.

This isn't totally a needed step, but is a useful app.

Charge your phone until full.

Unplug it, turn it off, then plug it in for one hour.

Turn it on for two minutes, so it fully boots.

Turn it off, unplug it, when the light goes off, plug it back in for one hour.

That part of this is actually from HTC, on how they found the best results for charging.

Now, before you plug it in, unplug, wait for the light to go off, plug it back in.

When the light turns green, unplug it again. Repeat that step 10 times.

(It may not take 10, it may take more, but 10 is good)

While plugged in, boot to recovery, wipe your battery stats.

Then reboot to system.

A good habit to preserve battery life is to keep mobile data off, unless you need it. I used to turn wifi off, too, but lately, I leave it on.

How good is this?? I take my phone off the charger when I leave for work at 7AM, and usually, I go to bed at 11PM, when I charge it back in, and it's never below 80%, unless I've been really using the phone excessivley.

The other thing is, I do this, somewhat daily. I wake up, tuen the phone off ,so my alarm doesn't keep ringing every 15 minutes, unplug it, then not turn it back on til just before I leave, so it's getting that "treatment" at some level, every day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjay203:
ok but how do i wipe my battery status?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You have to be rooted to wipe your battery stats. Just do what i said byt dont let the phone fully die then. Let it get to like 5% or something then FULLY charge it for like 2 hours after it hits 100%. Do that like 5 times. What the other dude said will work too. Just do what your comfortable with.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Dear All,

My phone came back from repair, but the proximity sensor did not respond (it was always registering proximity even when nothing was there). So I was a bit confused like wow one issue fixed here comes the next.

Then I went trough the diagnosis menus to test the proximity sensor, I set a new value since it was working but it was always registering proximity... I set it to 63 I believe. Would somebody like to check the original setting? Because it works perfect now, but I feel more comfortable having the original setting and dont feel like doing a hardreset!

Thanks all, the code in the diagnosis menu is *#0*# then click proximity.

And tell me roughly for which value it responds.

Thanks a lot.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davux:
I have a Samsung Focus, and the default value appears to be about 10. 63 is really close to the phone, 10 is about 2 inches off the screen to trigger the detection.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
thanks. I think ill set it somewhere around 15 than. The default value is slighly annoying when on a call and waking the screen back up. But i think mine was set to 3 or so a value which the sensor hardly reaches.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyj71:
How are you changing the values? My sensor has been turned off somehow. I've been looking for days to figure out how to change the values.

Hi,

The "ASUS Eee Pad Transformer" looks like a good tablet for me.

It's a netbook and a tablet in one computer.

But I don't like Android as a desktop OS, so I wonder if it was possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 or another Linux dist on the device with a functional touch screen?

The device has USB, right? So it must be possible to boot a Linux dist compiled for the architecture from a USB key?

It would be so nice!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Zach Alt:
In concept yes. Will it be a usable implementation? Probably not.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PGibbons999:
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this thing to dual boot into Linux Mint.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Billus:
My guess is that it would be theoretically possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 "Netbook" addition as it is aimed at ARM architecture. Tegra 2 apparently supports Ubuntu which should make this easier. The screen also has the perfect resolution to run Ubuntu as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
11.04 is released Tomorrow right?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NMCBR600:
They may only have preinstall images for TI chips. I've looked into the betas, and they have a compress partition that has to be uncompressed on the first boot. But the boot is in a fat32 partition with a kernel for the TI arm chip and uboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
It should be possible.

Some work was done on getting Ubuntu up and running on a Toshiba AC100, which is a Tegra-2 based "smartbook" running Android (see here for details).

However, IMO a version of NVFlash that works on the Transformer will be required before this can be taken much further.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrayAdjacent:
It's not a desktop OS. With the keyboard dock, it's still just a netbook. Netbooks aren't really supposed to be as 'functional' as desktops. If you want desktop functionality, get a desktop or a large laptop.

Netbooks and now tablets are what I refer to as 'compromise' devices. You compromise power and function for portability and convenience. If you need more than a tablet or netbook can provide, you need to be shopping bigger.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] louisdk:
I know that netbooks ain't made for hardcore tasks like gaming, photo- or video editing, but I find Android (have only tried 2.x) too limited for netbook use.

On my current netbook I like a full Linux desktop, so I browse the web, check mails, use LibreOffice, use VLC and other light activities and I really can't way I shouldn't be allowed to get the real PC experience on a netbook if the hardware specs allows it? Especially when new user interfaces like Unity that is perfect for tablets and small screens have been released.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] louisdk:
I've spotted this new device. I Think that the ARM-version of Ubuntu used on this device will be public avaible and I hope that it's possible to install it on the Asus Eee Transformer.

//edit, getting an arm version of debian/ubuntu aint the issue. The issue is graphics. Now as I've posted earlier on this forum, nvidia has released linux4tegra. Although unsupported, it has a tegra_drv for xorg.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eviltuna:
Can someone explain to me why peeps keep wanting to install Ubuntu onto their phones/tablets? I mean isn't it more usable to just install it on a netbook? I understand for some people its just the fun in the challenge of cramming it in to another device but is there any other use for Ubuntu on a tablet like the TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nurre:
If I can start up an app that connects to localhost and gives me access to everything from advanced networking/software development tools/image editing and conversion tools/movie editing/diagnostics/etc/etc/etc/etc. Why wouldn't I want to? I can have a device which instead of being locked to android apps also has a MASSIVE library of tools that's been developed over many many years.

And they are not designed for touchscreen, but guess what, this tablet has a keyboard and a touchpad ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jocelyn:
So I can run an IDE and develop apps for honeycomb...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hitman_dreams:
Why not just develop an IDE for Android to use on an Android Tab? But I too would love to use the new Ubuntu 11.04 on the TF since Unity supports touch screens :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
I for one don't have and don't want a netbook or laptop. I prefer using one device (a tablet in this case with a keyboard or keyboard dock) for many purposes. It's cheaper for me and I have much less things to carry / charge / store etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nurre:
Eclipse is an IDE made by ibm, development started 2001, and it's still being developed today.

I dont think you realize what your saying when you say "just develop an IDE".
[Eee Pad Transformer General] crissgoodlookingguy:
Not even! Check out the Samsung X120 ( I have one ) and the Acer Ferrari One 200 ( I have one of these too! )

Dual core+ netbooks have NO problems running full desktop applications at the same time as multi-tab browsing...

Running Microsoft Server 2008 or Windows 7.

I've run Adobe Premier rendering video at the same time as Office 2010 along with Chrome running 20 tabs and 3DS MAX 2011 open no lag..

The X120 has a 5 hour+ battery life too, the newer i3 and i5 and even i7 based Netbooks are no compromise on desktop performance.

I even have a HDMI out and VGA out on the X120...

Anyways, the sooner we get / make Android 3.0+ based tablets dual boot Ubuntu 11 the better... Then tablets can finally act as both development work horses and Android tabs...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] life64x:
In a nut shell, imagine the portability of a tablet with the power of all the items with Ubuntu..years of apps and developement along with the ability to sit on "the THRONE" if you know what I mean..:).. the tablet is evolutionary for the fact it is just another device, I do not know if you use Ubuntu, if you do then a question is not why but when and how. Also, you have a option when / if / Ubuntu does come to the transformer, don't use it. Great development does not happen by asking why it should, great development comes by asking why the hell not. Just my 2 cents worth.'
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NMCBR600:
Of interest ....http://www.geek.com/articles/chips/...e-arm-cluster-server-box-for-ubuntu-20110613/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ppirate:
I use a lot of linux programs. They all install nicely on ubuntu. So when I'm on the go, and I get a flash of inspiration, I can just attach the dock to the tablet, switch from android to ubuntu (or any linux) and start using all those programs.

Why not develop them for android instead? Sure, but where to start? Really, I'm on it. But there is so much software that has to be rewritten! Yes rewritten, the android dev tools are very good, but it is just Java + C. And it not that automake will work w/o changes even for all c programs.

So, while waiting for all those ports, we might as well enjoy linux in its full! Hope this helps you.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wakjagner:
With Nvflash out now, I hope that we will soon see the ability to dual boot android and ubuntu (though I lack the detail knowledge about whether thats even possible, someone was just discussing it on another thread).

I would like to see the ability to use linux programs, without having to use the middle-man of the android market.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
Hi.

Seems I bricked my Desire, but before I give up and send it to repairs I’m trying to get help from this forum.

To explain what happened:

First and most important thing: “’I’m an idiot”

Second – I had working InsertCoin 1.9.5 ROM installed (rooted phone with S-OFF. )

Occasionally I’m trying other Roms and this time I wanted to try 2.3 rom. During install process I checked some additional information and I run into topic regarding AlphaRev 1.8. –there was a recommendation to upgrade HBoot. So I did. Same time I upgraded Clockworkmod from 2.5.0.7 to 3.0.0.5

When Installed “PB99IMG_bravo_stock.zip” from Alpharev site this is when my problems started. (probably it was corrupted file. I dint check MD5Sum so this is probably why I’m an idiot.

When I found out that something is wrong I tried to restore backup but seems I’t worked partially. Actually when backup was restored I couldn’t switch off the phone – exit the screen. So I had to remove battery. Then I got stuck in AlhpaRev screen and only way to continue was to remove battery again and redo restore. I got everything work but started to disconnect few seconds after call was connected and phone did not connect with windows any more (when usb connected) it doesn’t show anything on the phone.

Now When tried to make advanced restore via Fastboot, I had problems to restore Boot. So I messed around with different options to restore boot without success and in the end only solution I could think of is to restore the phone to its original state. Backed up SD card and installed PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed file that I found (can be installed without windows). It installed correctly and my phone switched on (unrooted), can send emails and messages but still problems with connection (drops calls) and phone not recognizing usb connection still remained.

In bootloader my phone data is this:

BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001

MICROP-051d

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.11.05.27

… long story.

But now is the question how I can root and or downgrade my phone if it’s not recognized by windows? When connecting via usb if in HBOOT mode everything ok (HBOOT USB PLUG).

I think that complete reinstall would fix connection problem, but how to reinstall + root without connection to pc, this is mystery for me.

So under windows 7

.. unrevoked doesn’t recognize a phone

… ruu installer doesn’t recognize a phone

…HTC sync doesn’t recognize a phone

…Phone doesn’t recognize usb connection in normal mode.

When picking “fastboot” in bootloader, phone will go to black screen with red triangle. Nothing happens.

Is there a way to root via bootloader or fastboot or anything… ?

Appreciate any help here.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
First of all.. Why oh why did you flash a stock s-on bootloader... It makes everything so much more complicated.

Second are you sure the black screen with the red triangle comes up when you choose fastboot and not when you choose recovery, because it is the recovery.

Third it sounds exactly like your problem is similar to those with usb-brick. This means your misc partition is corrupted, so you will need to flash a new one(this would have been a piece of cake if you hadn't flashed the ruu with stock hboot).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
thanks for the quick reply,

well... at this point i have understood this is going to be complicated... Im actually not home but on a business trip without a phone connection - so if not anything else, this will be good lesson for the future to read all the instructions carefully... :) '

but anyway... regarding red triangle... you are right as this is recovery and I have found how to enter android system recovery menu: "volume up +power"

so as I understand from your post I need to flash new partition... any directions?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Well year i'll try to find some instructions for you, and i might be able to help you do it on pm, but it involves editing a std. misc.img file with your cid and flash it.

The tough part is the flashing, as this is not possible without root. Had you not run the "PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.2_Radio_32.49 .00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed" it would have taken 30 seconds, but now you are unrootet, so you will need to use an exploit to gain temporary root in order to flash the misc.img from a terminal emulator. You will also need access to putting files on the sd-card(sd-card reader or dropbox as you dont have usb-connection)

Edit: First boot into fastboot and connect it to your pc. From here you need fastboot.exe from the android sdk. Then you run "fastboot oem boot" and take note of the CID you get in the console.

edit 2: here is the full guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639&highlight=usbbrick

You will need to do somethings different, as you don't have root, but i might be able to guide you thrugh it.

Ok :) what you need is "HTC__032" Now you need to download the img file from the thread i linked and install a hex-editor. Then you can use the hex-editor to insert "HTC__032" into the img file instead of the one it came with.

After that you just need to flash it :) I can't help you on that until tomorrow though it's past midnight here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abz54:
To get temporary root try to get visionary+ app (not available from market) then look at USB brick thread in development section. I had a similar issue
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
... stuck.

downloaded img file.

downloaded hex editor

changed img file line to HTC__032

now this guide you mentioned says:

3. Get flash_image from the attached files below

Move this to /data/ , and flash the modified image using:

"/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img"

You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:

'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'

'cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img'

question is where is this "data" folder?

there is no this kind of folder on the SD card (should I create it?) , also there is no Data folder on Android sdk folder. I must missing something.

P.S. before flashing I probably need to run "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" to enable SD card?

anyway... thanks now. Im going to sleep as well. tomorrow is a busy day, so I might not be able to watch this thread until later in the evening. lets keep fingers crossed that Ill fix this.

... good night.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
... got up now. Good morning :)

I have downloaded Visionary+ and tried temporary root. It seems it worked as superuser has created after reboot. However I will not proceed until next step is clear. Thanks a lot at the moment.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foalsrock:
The data folder is present on the phone's filesystem.

You should put the two files on the sdcard (not inside any folder) and then issue the commands in a terminal emulator on your phone.

Hi,

I had the same problem when my Misc partition got corrupted and I also flashed a RUU update which broke my SLCD screen as well :p (not to mention unrooting my phone).

So in the end I had a stock rom, unrooted phone which wasn't recognized by my laptop, unrevoked, adb etc.

Quanchi's guide : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9056719 helped solve my problem.

The rageagainstthecage exploit gives you temp root after which you can flash the correct mtd0.img for your phone from your SD card. All steps are outlined in that guide :)

This will solve your problems!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
thanks a lot for the information.

I have downloaded this Rageagainstthecage and already modified mtd0.img earlier.

Ill try this later when I will have time and let you guys know if succeed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abz54:
You dont need to follow the rageinthecage method as that is another way of getting root, you should already have root through visionary+, so you only need to follow the methods on the usb-brick thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
just entered this command from emulator:

'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'
