Solution with Gold Card and Y Cabel.

Hi Brother,

Here is solution.

Windows Phone 7 handsets stuck in USB Host Mode

This looks like it's common to all WP7 phones, not just the Mozart but it's particularly annoying here because you need to feed the Sim Card/Flex adapter under the battery, over the battery retaining clip and under the battery cover. Very fiddly. Very easy to accidentally press the power button.

IF YOU PRESS THE POWER BUTTON INSTEAD OF VOL DOWN + CAMERA YOU WILL SOFT BRICK THE PHONE. IT WILL BE STUCK IN USB HOST MODE.

Fortunately to fix the phone you just need the "special cable" with MicroSD reader from the WP7 upgrade kit, the Gold Card you make in step A and the firmware for the phone you're working on.

1.Take the firmware .exe and extract the largest file (Ruu_signed.nbh or something similar)

2.Rename it using the same 4 letter naming convention that the DIAG file already on the goldcard with a IMG suffix e.g. MOZAIMG.nbh

3.Copy it to the MicroSD. You can use the XTC Clip as a card reader. This is the slowest part of the procedure.

4.Delete the DIAG file

5.Put the MicroSD card in the "special cable" and plug it into the phone without pressing any particular buttons. This will automatically reflash the phone with the possible bonus of debranding the phone.

6.Once the phone has booted up, you can proceed with trying to unlock it again.

Hope this helps.

Dear Members...

After a long time i got solution for this problem. Yesterday i resolved one mozart which shows Enter USB Host Mode without using Y-Cable procedure.

This may work on many mozart, which has this problem with bootloader 5.12.2250 & dont have rom for their region. U can try this, before using Y-Cable procedure.

The solution is...

1. Download "WP7_Update_Cab_Sender.zip", from this forum & extract it.

2. Press Camera button & Power On the mozart. Dont release Camera button until the mozart shows computer connectivity symbol in the

display. Then release pressing the camera button & connect the moazrt to pc.

3. Now goto the extracted folder to this "WP7_Update_Cab_Sender\tools\x86" folder via MS-DOS prompt or copy cmd.exe to this folder and

open it. So that u will get, direct location of that path in command prompt.

4. In Command Prompt type "UpdateWP.exe /list". This shows the connected devices details in the screen.

5. Then type"UpdateWP.exe /reset". This will try to reset the mozart & restarts it to normal condition. Wait for few minutes

(not more than 5-10 mins) to get in to normal stage.

That's all...

If the solution doesn't work you, then dont blame me... & you can try with Y-Cable procedure...

USB Host Mode

Was trying the same thing but no luck.

After several months, I realized my notebook's USB ports aren't that good anymore.

What I did is connect it to another PC (Win7 Home Premium) and download Zune (I installed other dependencies first like Windows Mobile Drivers for Vista). Get another cable if you have to. I connected it to the PC using a 3-headed USB cable (not a Y-cable since I don't have it).

Wait for several minutes, and the phone just shut itself off and on again with the HTC logo.

Instead of going to the USB mode, it goes to the....well, setup page after you factory reset it.

That's how I fixed my paperweight just today.

Must be Santa giving an early present.

[Android Software Development] Stitch!:
I already posted this in general, but this might be a more suitable place.

The way I see it, android (especially the newer versions) are capable of distributing several processes over the dual cores. Apps however don't utilise both cores.

Another question: what kind of apps would benefit from using both cores? I could imagine that heavy games and home launchers could benefit from using both cores.

Are there tools available for android that enable multithreading apps? And what are the average prices of app development tools?

Im currently working in Java, but how do most people write Android apps?

Just found some information that confirms my thoughts on how android uses parallel structures, but this still leaves open my other questions:

"Android 2.2 already takes advantage of multicore. Anything that multitasks and multithreads already takes advantage of multicore. But this exploitation is a matter of degrees.

Android 2.3 takes further advantage of the multicore, because unlike Android 2.2, 2.3's file system is multithreaded one, not single threaded. When it comes to file I/O or database searches. 2.3 will be a lot faster.

Android 2.4 or 3.1 as rumored to be, will take even greater advantage of multicores with further "architecting" parts of the OS to use more multithreads."
[Android Software Development] jgittins:
Android 2.3 has concurrent garbage collection which I imagine will take advantage of dual core phones. This should really help to reduce any lag or stuttering in apps and games.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
First, if you develop something that requires much CPU power, then you should always try to do it using multiple threads. This is a general rule, not only related to Android.

Second, main thread of an app is UI thread and you should never run CPU-consuming tasks in it. So actually you are forced to use multi-threading in Android apps.

Third, there are many things that Android itself could run in parallel to your app: garbage collector, UI changes, animations, background apps, etc.
[Android Software Development] Stitch!:
Thanks for you quick answer! Could I use a Java solution that makes multithreading obsolete to make this all easier? And then just pack it into an apk? Sorry, but im pretty new to this.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I don't understand. How does Java makes multithreading obsolete? Besides, MT isn't really that hard if you have good tools for asynchronous processing of tasks. Java/Android gives you such tools.
[Android Software Development] Stitch!:
Not Java, but an Java extension called Ateji Parallel extensions. There is a demo here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MDbqTgCDIA

I was just wondering, if it would be worth developing for android. The video is a demo on a dual core, and the new quadcore dev kit just came in. Additions to the that I thought about now are a timer and perhaps some other figures that can indicate the difference. Do you have any ideas on this?

Really appreciate you input, thanks!
[Android Software Development] Theonew:
Yes it would be worth it to develop for android. The newer android phone's dual core processors are utilized by games but only when a new version of android (future ice cream sandwich and later so i have read), will be able to support multiple processors. Also android really needs some 3D HD games like what Apple has made for the Iphone. I hope you decide to develop for android.:)
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I still don't understand why it's so important to you. You don't need Ateji to utilize multiple cores, actually their demo is just a few lines of pure Java code. Ateji could make things easier, but it doesn't do any magic.
[Android Software Development] seanw.org:
Anything involving image processing is a good candidate. For example, if you want to sharpen a photo, you can have one core processing the top half and one core processing the bottom half. Saying that though, I've found the single threaded performance of newer processors is fast enough for typical image filters.

Hi,

I understood that 2.3.3 has this problem when answering calls.

Can someone confirm it?

It's annoying, that whenevr I receive calls, I have to wait a bit, and then say: "Hello...", otherwise the caller can't hear my 'Hello'.

I'm using Debus Rom, and Debus said this is a known bug. In Simply Honey 3.2 someone said he had it also.

Isn't there any solution for this problem?

[Xperia Play General] lstreet:
Hey forum ! , I was an iphone 3gs user and made the jump to android when the play came out.

Ive noticed my battery is draining 2-3% an hour and looking at the "battery use in setting and then looking at the graph it show the phone is randomly awake even when the screen is off.

My play is rooted using gingerbreak 1.1 and has mostly all the bloatware removed.

non of the apps i have installed ask for permissions to prevent standby, I only have tune in radio, mobo player, facebook, twitter adobe pdf viewer, fpse, snesoid, gameboid google maps youtube imdb touch calendar es file explorer unit convertor and ringdroid installed.

i have 12 processes running using 86mb of ram

all apps are closed properly, wifi is off, background data is enabled ( but no applications i use in the settings allow auto refreshing of data)

The battery life of my xperia play has never been great (lasts about 24hrs with just checking facebook, twitter and xda forums using the built in browser)

I just wonder what is causing the phone to keep waking up randomly, is this the culprit of the battery drain?

I have a couple of theorys .... i did install desktop visualiser to change the icons then once they were changed i deleted the app (i read this app causes battery drain) maybe this could be a cause i thought deleting the app would fix,

2nd i travel around as part of my job so i wonder if the phone is going through areas where there is poor connectivity and its constantly trying to connect to different networks causing the drain.... but does anyone know of any efficient lightweight apps that disable this when the screen is off.

lastly I think the could it be widgets i only use the built in ones with the phone, the wifi on/off gps on/off and data on/off

do you guys turn data off during the day to save battery and do you turn background data off ? i think its anoying have to change all these settings off to sqeeze a tiny bit more of juice out the phone, it probably uses more turning them on and off avery 1hr or so

any suggestions or setups of how other people have got there phone up and running with good battery life would be a real help

cheers ! :-)
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Deleting all widgets certainly saved my some battery, also deleting the SE launcher with launcher pro seemed to save me a lot of battery but I'm not sure about this.
[Xperia Play General] Tornlogic:
2 to 3% an hour isn't bad with radios on at all. When you say awake, do you mean the screen is on, or that it's just in standby? There is nothing in battery stats that say "awake" you need to be more specific on what the system says, not what you think it's doing.

If the screen is coming on "randomly" then it could be an incoming txt, email, phonecall or something like that. Lower your screen timeout in the settings to help there.

If its phone idle or standby, then again 2 to 3% is nothing. That's 30 50 hours of standby receiving emails, txts and what not. Nothing to complain there.
[Xperia Play General] blickmanic:

by stay awake he means no lockscreen/passcode/slide to unlock

That's not what he means. Reread his 2nd paragraph.
[Xperia Play General] lstreet:
Click on settings then about phone then battery use then at the top of that screen there should be a set of numbers saying how long the battery has been used since the last charge, click that an it displays a graph , on the graph page it shows when the phone is "awake" by awake I mean the screen is off the phone should be in standby mode but its being acessed by something i.e a program , like its woken up to perform some action. Anyway im wondering if anyone elses phone is awake randomly when the screen in off and in standby mode. When I factory reset I neget had this issue but its after installing apps I think or some setting im missing any ideas
[Xperia Play General] cech:
I have the same problem. My Xperia Arc is "awake" all the time. Screen is locked, turned off but in battery usage I see that the phone is awake even with screen off. The culprit seems to be the native messaging app as it consumes the most battery. I'm not sure what is going on, what is the messaging app doing or which process is using it.

Any ideas anyone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Hi,

I have a HTC Desire Z and I'm currently using the Vision Sense 1.82.405.1 Untouched ROM. I'm also thinking of trying out other ROMs, particularly those that are based on Gingerbread (though I admit I don't fully know what advantages Gingerbread has over Froyo).

I'm generally happy with the phone as it is now, but my main gripes are its speed - it lags noticeably sometimes - and battery life - I get about a day at most, and by that I mean from the time I wake up to the time I sleep, not 24hrs).

Are there any comparisons/writeups on what the various ROMs offer, and how they're different from one another?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowOokami:
I'm running Blackdroidmod 3.3.0 with stock Radio, set the governer @ Interactive min 386mhz and max 1016mhz and I'm using LauncherPro (plus) instead of the stock/ADW launcher. I love it and I reach 20 hours easily with moderate usage.

(2~ 4 calls/day, average of 10 texts, lots of whatsapp messages and activesync @ 2 accounts + 2 x pop3 accounts polling every hour, fb polling every 15 mins, weather sync every 2 hours, some gaming and listening to mp3) and it's always smooth (806mhz max is enough if you don't use multiple apps at the same time).

It's stable and everything works right away from the first time I flashed it. CM7.0 is good... but isn't very stable in my opinion and misses some applications while Blackdroidmod looks a bit like Sense.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Really not much, if you are a Sense fan. Google fixed a bunch of aesthetic/theming stuff, and improved the keyboard. Most of which is moot, since HTC themes mostly override the theme changes, and HTC uses their own keyboard. There may be some performance improvements or bug fixes. But in running both Froyo and GB ROMs, I didn't notice much performance difference. This might be due to the fact that most of the current Gingerbread ROMs are ports from other phones, or based on the leaked Desire Z test ROM. But I have not tried the recent G2 (no Sense) leaked test ROM, which is supposed to be pretty fast.

HTC Sense really slows down the phone, so a move to any ROM without Sense will probably improve your performance. Alternately, the lag you are noticing is probably due to the Sense launcher, which seems to be a CPU and memory hog. Try another launcher, like ADW or Launcher Pro, and you will probably find it improves performance quite a bit. You will lose the HTC widgets, but retain some of the nice HTC features, like the camera.

Getting a "waking day" (charge overnight) out of a modern smartphone is pretty normal. Of course, it completely depends on how much you use your phone. But with moderate use, I have yet to get more than a day, on various ROMs and radios. I can get 24 hours+ on very light use. What is your screen brightness set to? The screen brightness is actually one of the biggest battery drain culprits. If its on auto, turn that off, and reduce the brightness to the lowest setting you find usable/tolerable. Mine is on 35%. Just going from auto to a lower setting can improve battery life quite a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
If you like sense, I've found the battery life on the Trollogen Mod 0.9.1 to be SPECTACULAR. So far it's given me the best battery life out of all the ROMs I've tried. That includes Virtuous with the advanced kernel and multiple SetCPU profiles and the stock Gingerbread ROMs.

I tried running the battery down last night at a friends place for laughs and left music running on Wi-Fi with full brightness. I was constantly turning the screen on and looking at websites and so forth and by the time I got home (6 hours later) it had only just hit 67%. What's surprising is I didn't need a custom kernel or to modify it with SetCPU
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Wow, 3 replies, 3 different suggestions. This is gonna be tough...

So far I've only heard of Virtuous, GingerVillian and Cyanogenmod, never heard of the others.

Oh I forgot to mention I'd like something that's stable as well, I've noticed things crash/reload quite a bit currently.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
Trollogen is still a beta but its fairly stable as far as I can see. But if stability is really an issue you should stick with virtuous and install a new kernel on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
My suggestion for a stable rom would be Virtuous with the advanced kernel. With 1.0.2 OCed to 1.3GHz and stock battery,i got about 16hrs of life with moderate use. Replaced with mugen 1800mAh and now can get 20hrs with moderate use and 30hrs with light use.

Havent used CM or TGM yet, but SenseGinger goes have some bugs in it which turned me away before. I would probably stick with a Froyo release until the official 2.3 rom gets released by HTC.

Happy flashing
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontornblom:
Lately there have been so many new ports, it's hard to keep up...but I do! (But mostly with Sense) Flash something new very night, but I always keep coming back to virtuous 1.0.2 with advanced kernel 2.2.0.

Everything just works, always (except HTC calendar widget disappears after a reboot, for some reason). Very speedy for sense, and being able to overclock pushes it into a winning position for me versus the gingerbread sense roms.

Xboarder56's stock gingerbread worked pretty well for me while I was on it for a couple of days. Worth a try!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
OK, thanks. Perhaps I'll try Virtuous. Are there any step by step guides to flash Virtuous ROM into my Desire Z, and what's the advanced kernel 2.2.0? Don't all Android use Linux kernel 2.6.x?

Thanks again.

Edit: OK I assume the Advanced Kernel 2.2.0 is what's found in the Virtuous kernel 2.x page here.

What if I want to install a Gingerbread kernel? I see there's a Gingerbread folder here with either glite or sense. What are these?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
Both Virtuous G-lite and Fusion have OC kernels and shouldn't have to flash a new one on install. Just have to get SetCPU or CPUTuner to enable the OC, both up to 1.5GHz.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
G-Lite is a Gingerbread ROM, with no Sense. Fusion is a port of Gingerbread (from another phone), with Sense 3.0. Sense 3.0 has some cool new features, but the launcher takes up most of the phone's memory (our phone is not meant to run Sense 3.0, and we won't be getting it "officially" for this reason). Just about every time you go back to the launcher home, it needs to reload the launcher, which is annoying. There are also some graphical glitches. So I found Fusion fun to play with for a while, but I'm back on Froyo, probably until the official Sense ROM for our device is released (and a rooted version is posted here).

If you want Sense, stability and usability, the "original" Virtuous is probably what you want. Its easy to install. You can download straight in ROM Manager, and flash from there. You might not have to do a full wipe, since you are coming from a stock Froyo Sense ROM. But if you have any issues, you should probably wipe (dalvik, cache, and data) and flash again. Also, do a nandroid/clockwork backup of your current ROM, before you flash Virtuous, in case you have the need or desire to return to your current setup. ROM Manager will give you the choice to backup the current ROM when you go to flash Virtuous.

Virtuous comes overclocked to 1 GHz by default. The advanced kernel gives additional overclocking options (up to 1.51 GHz), that's all. Advanced kernel pretty much requires you to setup screen-off profiles with SetCPU (or similar app) or you will (AFAIK) almost certainly have issues with the screen waking. So you might not want to mess with it, and to stick with the default/included kernel, unless you are really interested in OC speeds over 1 GHz.

The Virtuous Gingerbread kernel allows overclocking of G-Lite and Fusion. They can't be used with the "regular" (Froyo based) Virtuous. Vice versa is also true.

But really, there isn't a whole lot that Virtuous actually gives you in addition to stock. You can flash the Godspeed kernel on the stock ROM, if you want to overclock. Virtuous also has trackpad wake, which is very cool. But again, you can do this mod on the stock ROM. So modding the stock ROM to your liking may be another option.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyC:
The insertcoin rom is another half way house option. It is Sense 2.1 based with some 3.0 bits added.

It is still a bit more memory intensive than stock, but it does have the very cool lockscreen, which is one of my main reasons for sticking with it. That and the CRT animations always keep me happy.

I have been using it as my daily driver for a while now.
