[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearlessdolphin:
I have an HTC HD7 Tmobile. and I deployed DFRouter app but I accidently uninstalled the app after switching in router mode. now zune will not recognize the device no matter what I try. I have tried hard resetting, rom flashing, hardware reset. My last hope is a custom rom that has DFRouter added into the apps so when the rom is installed DFrouter gets installed with it. Then I can restore it back to zune mode.

I have tried creating a custom rom using

RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE

but I get

'OS.nb' has no valid boot sector! Aborting.

Ansar or anyone, who can take out time to create a custom RUU with DFRouter in it, that would be greatly appreciated, it will also help others who are stuck in router mode

flash this rom using a gold card , its a test rom from htc and the tools you need are in there .

this is the only way because you can't flash unsighned rom's without a Hspl .

and we don't have a Hspl :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearlessdolphin:
I dont have a gold card...

Does it have DFRouter ? the OP of that post does not say anything about DFRouter
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceesheim:
it has tools in it where you can put your phone in "modem" or "ZUNE" this is the same as what dfrouter use.

actually he use a modded tool from htc :)

look for threads with the search button and use the words "goldcard wp7"

okay so i have a kingston 2gb micro sd card reader. the problem now is I cant get the cid for it. I have tried goldcardtool.exe and goldcardhelper.exe. I tried using a usb sd card reader and plugging it directly into the laptop.

help please...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceesheim:
the best way is to use an old wm or android phone to get the cid.

I used an old wince based navigation system to get the cid.

I used "http://psas.revskills.de/" to get it.

Has anyone else had a problem getting into the Cyanogen website today? I've been trying all morning on both IE and Chrome and I just keep getting an erroe. It won't even load from Google. :confused:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevvyboy:
Yup, no joy here either.

Shame, was planning my first eMMC flash today!

But, no panic, i'm even leaving 30-40 seconds between refreshing my browser :)

[Epic 4G Themes] Censura_Umbra:
This is the entire Touchwiz 3.0 Launcher that is in a Flashable zip. Just download it, flash it in ClockWorkMod and you are good to go.

This is for those of us that enjoy the functionality of custom Roms, but would like our Epic to look like an Epic. I know that isn't many, but it's here for those who want it.

I have tested it on Stock EB13 and a few custom Roms with no problem. I have not yet tried it with CM7 or other Phones. If I could get some people to test that, that would be great.

I know this isn't marvelous, but it is stock, and I was not a fan of how the customized TouchWiz launchers looked. So I hope people find this useful on Roms that do not include TouchWiz.

Please leave comments if you try it and let me know how it works and if there are any problems. Please let me know if it works on any other galaxy phones or any other phones in general.

This is my first contribution to this forum, so if I have helped, please lend me some thanks, I promise to pay you back :p
[Epic 4G Themes] Gh0zt718:
Can you post some screens and does this have the puzzle lock screen?
[Epic 4G Themes] KennyG123:
And if you do a Tiitanium backup before installing the custom ROM, when you install this you can restore the data for it in Titanium to get your homescreens back the way they were. Had to do this many times on my g/fs phone...she resists change LOL.
[Epic 4G Themes] Censura_Umbra:
It is stock TouchWiz, so no it does not have the puzzle piece. I can post some screen shots later, but it is just stock TouchWiz, it looks the same as when you first bought your Galaxy S.

I know titanium works, but not everyone has it backed up, and it would be a pain to reinstall stock just to get the TWlauncher so here it is. Also I find that when I reinstall with titanium it is full of broken links on my homescreen :p

But yes, my Wife is the same way, which is why I put this together. Actually she was thinking about moving to an Evo 3D, if someone has an HTC device, can they see if this works, (I recommend using CWM, but try with whatever recovery you have).
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
This won't work on a device without twframeworks ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] Censura_Umbra:
I see, thought so. Would it be possible to get twframeworks on a different phone? Or is it nearly impossible and I shouldn't try. (I just want to do it now because I feel Samsung has told me I can't lol)
[Epic 4G Themes] timberwolf671:
You can take the twframework file and port it to another Galaxy S phone. But no not as it is, not all images are called the same file name. Plus some of xml's are different.
[Epic 4G Themes] MajicManDroid:
I love that you made this and it bailed me out of a jam a few days ago.

I recently flashed the leaked EH06 ROM and love it. The EH06 TouchWiz allows you to customize the order of your apps in the app drawer. I made a zip that would include all the Samsung widgets as well as TwFrameworks for anyone looking for the a minor TouchWiz update. Its as of the moment untested because my phone is dead.

All credit to Censura_Umbra for the original zip that I used and Decad3nce for the EH06 zip file I took the files from.

EDIT:

The Zip below doesn't work because I'm a dumb ass. I'm new to the whole rom/moding comunity and just learned about signing Zip files. The link below doesn't even have the update script. I'm going to keep working on this.
[Epic 4G Themes] Censura_Umbra:
Well I'm glad I could help. If you think your new development will be well received then you should make a thread for it, I doubt anyone will find it in here lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:
How do I add custom Notification sounds to the Inspire?

I've been able to add all my custom ringtones by creating a file on the sdcard called ringtones. Doesn't seem to work with a folder called notifications.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
I was able to do this by creating a notifications folder on my external SD card. Are you rooted/ROMed? Or maybe you are running a ROM that doesn't support it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
did you do it like this?

/sdcard/media/notifications
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:
Tried that too. No joy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:

[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:

[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
Maybe revolution doesn't support it, or maybe its looking for another directory.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TXRangerXDA:
I could be wrong, but I think it has to he a capital N for Notifications folder. Worth a try anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] enewman17:
It has to be in /media/audio/notifications

all lower case

Inspire 4G / Ingersoll v2.4 / XDA app
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cannibul:
Got a folder there also.

Still no joy.

Ok. Found out one thing. You can't have any spaces in the file name. Now it's working.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Twiggi:
All of my custom notification sounds are in a folder named "Notifications" in the root directory of my SD card. All of them have spaces in the file name.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irnrbu_man:
Since i haven't posted enough to be allowed to post the question in the manual nooter, i need to post here.

I install stock 1.2 via clockwork, then installed the manual nooter, root and almost everything works except the 'n' home button.

I tried uninstalling soft keys and it still doesn't work.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrislj:
Use the Zeam launcher that is included.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irnrbu_man:
I worked out my problem, when went back to stock 1.2 I didn't wipe user data, so it grabbed something from the old configs that cause the issue. I went back to stock 1.2, wiped the data, then ran manual nooter again and everything appears good so far.

Hi,

It seems that my TP2 has died, it was totally empty last night so I tried to charge it. But it doesn't char any more, then "charging" light is burning but then it goes out, TP2 goes on, TP2 reboots, and it starts all over again.

Any thoughts on what is wrong?

Thanks for taking your time to read this
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Oldbluesman:
I've had that problem once before.

Try pulling the battery, plug it in and then insert the battery and don't do anything else until it can charge for awhile, hopefully the orange light stays on at that point and it will bring it to a full charge.

Hope that works

[A7 General] Muskoka:
Hi all,

Cannot get an ftp session to stay open between A7 and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I'm using the 1.42 mod. It opens the session and then immediately closes it whenever I try to access the Win 7 machine.

The connection always says "Paired but not connected". Is bluetooth not fully functional between Android devices and Windows?

I've searched here and around the net and can't find a definitive answer. Seems there are a lot of issues, no good fixes.

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

[Xperia Arc General] klungxda:
I have my Arc for 3 weeks.

After observing the battery performance for 3 weeks.

This is my conclusion.

1. Battery drain in term of percentage per hour in standby mode* = 2.5% :p

*: WCDMA, mobile data off, Wifi off, using WhatsApp :D

2. Some apps could cause the battery drain. This is the list

a. Fancy Widget v.1.3.0 :rolleyes:

b. Kuwo Tingting :mad:

How to check?

1. Monitor with System Panel

2. Kill all your task with a task killer. Try to scroll the scree panel with your finger very fast. Are you feel lagging? If yes, system process run with around 30% CPU.

Make a system reboot will solve this problem for temporary. (Fancy Widget v.1.3.0 caused this problem to me.)

3. Check the battery usage. If you find an apps that use the battery but actually you are not using it or just use for a while, the apps is the culprit.

Hope this will help if you have battery problems.

Please share your findings (performance and problem apps) to this thread.

Thanks! :)
[Xperia Arc General] arcanixX:
3G on or off? What do you mean mobile data off? Then how do you use the WhatsApp?

Some of my advise, is try to always keep the brightness 0%, then use it just when really needed. The screen can drain a lot of battery.
[Xperia Arc General] klungxda:
wcdma is 3G. i check whatsapp regulary by turning on mobile data.

at home i always turn on wifi.

actually not much different if you always turn on mobile data without sync data with your apps. but if you have apps like fb, twiter try to always sync the data, it will consume a lot of power.
[Xperia Arc General] gibbo82:
I rooted my arc with gingerbreak, deleted aload of bloatware and my battery is now 100 times better.

Currently had the phone idle for 38 hours with abit of usage with wifi on and battery is currently at 77% :)
[Xperia Arc General] zha1:
wait. what?

You know as Tips-thread, you should proofread your post over & over again. I find most part of it confusing & irrational.

[Xperia Arc General] gabeyong:
I am using a stock LT15i - my batt doesn't drain that fast.

I have wifi and email sync on, brightness = 15% and occasional sms and emails. answer a few calls within a charge/discharge cycle and still have 80% within the first 5 hours of use and 70% the next 4 hours. 60% by dinner time.
[Xperia Arc General] refract:
I'm very satisfied with battery.

The only thing I've noticed is that when I played Dungeon Defenders with max screen brightness up, and had Wi-Fi on, it drained like a proper ************, over 30% battery in less than a hour. Dimming the screen down to lowest and turning off Wi-Fi helped a bit, but DD is a massive battery hogging game.

Any other game or app, the Arc takes like a champ.

Also, what Belazor said is extremely true - root it and remove unessential apps.

I also installed Green Power Free + Advanced Task Killer - anytime I go to turn off my screen, I just kill everything with that funny little widget. Can go for days with that kind of usage.

When I encounter one of those guys that complain about battery life of a smartphone, I silently grin inside, 'cause it's pretty clear that the smartphone is probably smarter than such a person. With smart usage of your phone, it can be extremely efficient and excel at what you want it to do.

I can usually do some gaming for 2-3 hours per day with screen dimmed to lowest ( daytime ), browse some net for ~10-20 mins, it'll last me for 2-3 days really.
[Xperia Arc General] Belazor:
Actually, that was sarcasm.

I was saying I don't understand why someone would buy a SE phone and then proceed to remove exactly everything that makes it a SE phone - sans the shell.

Sure, part the reason why I bought the Arc was because it's sexy as all hell, but mostly it's because I like the software. If the Arc came with Android 2.1 but the sticker saying "we will totally update it to 2.3, pinky swear!" I would have dropped it from my list in an instant xD

Software makes the phone, just like clothes make the man.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
People (including me!) will remove apps that come preinstalled that they don't use or want.. so for example, I removed Moxier and timescape off my x10.. I've removed a few bit and bobs off my arc too.. just saves memory and if they ones that run in the background all the time, then it keeps more memory free during normal operation.. making the phone quicker when under stress!
[Xperia Arc General] stevencxr:
I bought the phone for it's camera and design, that's all =)
[Xperia Arc General] arcanixX:
An awesome tip that I read I just verified to work like a charm: use the "WCDMA only" option. It consumes around 1-2% per hour when stand-by. The another thing to complement this, it's root the phone and remove the bloatware. I'm almost satisfied with my arc (9/10). Goes incredible fast. It will be 10/10 when they fix the multiTouch issue :)
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
You mean GSM only ... right ? Afaik GSM is 2G and WCDMA is 3G ..
[Xperia Arc General] arcanixX:
No. I mean 3G ONLY (WCDMA ONLY). I read yesterday that If you choose the "GSM/WCDMA preferred" (third option), it will constantly check for both so it consumes a lot more power. I'm now 3G only and battery is awesome. Of course if your network has a bad 3G, you should use GSM only. The important thing is NOT tu use the third option. :)
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
I thought GSM uses less bettery :<
[Xperia Arc General] arcanixX:
It does. But this isn't about the power used by each one, it's about the battery used when the third option is selected, because the system is all the time looking for both 2G and 3G anytime the signal goes a bit low. Of course, if you download a huge file, it will be faster on 3G but take more power, but if you're not about downloading and just common navigation, you will be ok. I've been on "3G only" since 10 am (it's 6:52 pm now, so it's been almost 9 hours), and I have 81% battery. Used whatsapp A LOT during the day, made 4 or 5 calls, sent some SMS, and played some Angry Birds (0% brightness). Besides, I removed all bloatware from phone (this helps too). Just don't use the third option.
[Xperia Arc General] kiyu727:
understood :)
[Xperia Arc General] klungxda:
Mine ones consumes around 2 ~ 3 % battery in standby mode, WCDMA, mobile data off. But when I use it, it seems that it will consume 4 ~ 5 % per hour (browse internet).

I use titanium backup to freeze event stream and some others background processes that seems like not using at all.
[Xperia Arc General] stevencxr:
Thanks! But where is the setting in arc? I think I have seen them before in my x10
[Xperia Arc General] Sanditech:
I got terrible battery from my arc 12 hrs before getting to 5% with nothing turned on and half and hour of browsing and hour of music play...

I searched and tried few things

these things didnt work

1)uninstalling update of google maps

2)hard reset

3)disabling background data

4)using alternate camera app(although i feel one shouldnt ignore this tip)

what worked for me was most unusual

This is tip:

"Re: Battery life of Arc

Hello,

Yesterday I got a hint from SE support that seems to have been a success, at least up to now. When you have approx. 50% charge left of your battery, shut the phone off, take out the battery for 1-2 min, put the battery back again. Then charge the phone to 100% before you put it on. I was very skeptical to this tip, but I tried to do like this yesterday, and tonight, 8 hours later, it just have consumed 4% of the battery in contrast to the day before when it had consumed around 40%. It seems worth trying.

""

It worked in my case too

eventhough i havent tested thouroughly i believe my battery can last 36 hrs without sweat
[Xperia Arc General] bill.d:
ive tried so many things to try and imprve my battery life but i could never get it to last longer than 12 hrs unless i hardly touched it. my best was 35 hours but that was in 2g mode with everything disabled and no use so it was basicly a dumb phone....

yesterrday i decide to disable the bravia engine as it was pretty much the only thing i hadnt tried , im now sitting at 64% battery after 16 hours with some use , this is easily the best result ive come too when testing the battery drain, before i did this battery monitor widget was reporting power use in triple digits most of the time , never returning to the lower levels ie 1-5ma, now its returning down to these figures and performing as i would expect, so far so good. i will monitor it more over a few days.

seems to me at the moment that the bravia engine has a nasty power eating bug......
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
When I bought the phone I was aware of the battery so I'm not very disappointed. I removed few bloatwares that's all switched to 2G and disabled WiFi, GPS etc. when I'm out it works fine. In standby 13 hours 6% down that's not so bad. I can't sacrifice lot of SE application just for battery.
[Xperia Arc General] peanutheng:
I charge my arc 3times a day with.heavy usage I've researched and find out that there are other batteries out there that can last longer thats compatible for the arc also I leave everything on including dragon engine but compared to my previous.phone the.Samsung f-480i the arc.is.a.great improvement
[XPERIA X8 General] milansadaria:
Hi all,

First of all thank you all very much for the efforts put to make android the best mobile OS.

Overall Xperia X8 has been very good phone and I love it very much. But one thing annoying me is that sometimes slight tap on the screen won't be recognized. Though I understand that for this low price the level of touch screen performance is appreciable, I think there must be some way to tweak some sensitivity parameter.

I saw a couple of apps on the market to increase the touch screen sensitivity of some specific device, but what about our X8?

I hope someone who is not a "noob" like me might know the details and help us all improve our dearer X8 :)
[XPERIA X8 General] XperianPro:
I noticed that too.
