[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
I was using the following all last week while travelling, and the audio was great. $50 on Newegg:

Motorola S9-HD

I was getting about 3 hours from full charge, and was using PlayerPro which I have found to be the best for my personal use out of all the players.

<edit> The built in mic also works well for phone calls. My wife could hear me clearly when using it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenzzzz:
i will check out player pro .. i already have bluetooths tho .. built into my car and several blue ants and jawbones ... which it does the same with all of them including the one built into car.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Also check the audio player settings to make sure there isn't an output setting which needs to be changed. It appears some people are having major problems with conflicts between their car audio controls and the music player audio controls. Sometimes the players controls tried to override the car audio controls.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenzzzz:
ok with player pro i still have the issue though it is less .. now i only get it for a few seconds then it plays normally ... it seems to be related to it caching the audio while playing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenzzzz:
will have to check on that part as well ... i do not have any controls on the car audio that i use with it ... i just use the screen on the phone to play and pause and such ...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
My wife's Inspire skips on bluetooth audio but not on my atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenzzzz:
mine is exactly the opposite ... but my Inspire has CM7 on it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
I returned a pair of HT820's (Warranty) and got the S9-HD's back from moto... they have great sound, but their range is SOME OF THE WORST. I can't walk and listen to music without it cutting out.

I imagine it is most likely a problem with the receiver, not the source. Does the audio buffer or does it just skip?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silenzzzz:
it skips about a half a second or a quarter of a second of audio ... just enough to change the words being said.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gvndeb60:
Same here. I am new to bluetooth for audio, and have a pair of S9 HD's. They worked all morning and then skipped all afternoon. Is that a sign of low battery? Also, what range can I expect?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
I've heard reports of fake s9s... but mine came from moto... seems hit and miss. Moto tech support is some of the worst, took two weeks to get an rma!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Probably so. The battery life is only 2-1/2 - 3 hours on those from all the reading I did about them before I bought them. Also, turn on the SRS WoW on the headphones. It makes a huge difference to the audio imo.

The price is a good indication of cheap the Chinese imitations. If you purchase the OEM bulk Moto version they are $50 and up from reputable sellers such as Newegg, etc. If it's the cheap knock off versions, they can be had for $15-$20 on Ebay.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
I mean I got mine from motorola's Rma center. My ht820s went in for warranty and I got these.

I've noticed some better use now with my atrix than my previous nokia 3600 slide. But its still not like my HT820s. Those things were big, but had like 15 hour battery life, and whole house range. Fit perfect around the neck.

I paid about 45 bucks for the ht820 on amazon (best purchase ever), but the volume would not go down after a year. Sent them in and Got s9hd back (they don't even look the same! Moto customer serivce must hate their customers)... good sound, but not enough to justify changing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
Title asks the question. I noticed my phone charges incredibly fast (no pun intended)

I <3 hTc
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
Prior to the last OTA the charge rate was horrible, since, it's about 1% per minute.

Is that what you're asking?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
Ive had the phone less then 4 months so i dont know what it was prior, but i charged my phone from 56 to full in about 45-50 minutes.

I <3 hTc
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
Sounds about right. Prior to the update it could take several hours to charge the same amount. It's not near as good on battery as other phones but it too is better than prior to update.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
If you have the latest ota I believe yes.
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
Followed these instuctions:

http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/

My phone is now stuck at the google logo and will not go past. After rooting and clockwork i was not able to load anything else but i would not boot.

Please help.. Thank You
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
seriously? there is like 4 threads on how to root it, and you go with one that you shouldnt.. lol
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
it had pictures.. lol

all the threads on here talk about specific phone models and i wasnt sure so i just went with it... Bad choice on my part..

hopefully someone can help
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
load up fastboot and try to get to recovery if you can then awesome.. try wiping everything and see if that fixes anything
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Pull the battery, hold volume up and power and follow this post to get into recovery. Then like shabby penguin said, when you get into recovery wipe everything and you should be good to go. Again, the post I linked you to is the proper way to root the 4g...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13570498&postcount=5
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
i can get into recovery and i wiped the phone, but still doesnt help.
[Nexus S General] mikeyinid:
Oh, guess I didnt catch that.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
ok your best bet it to go into fastboot and flash the clockworkmod 3.0.2.4

did you do the oem unlock command?
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
yeah i did the oem unlock.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
ok well assuming you followed the directions from this guy, then you have a diff bootimg on there i can toss a few files that may fix it, but no garuntees...

seriously tho

is posted on his site.. that would be a good indicator to me to stop listening to anything he said.. he then later in the comments was trying to help someone and told them if usb wasnt working then use a microsd adapter to put the files on..
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
yeah i am kicking my self in the a$$. Is there anyway do just get it back to stock?
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
well have you tried flashing a kernel? if it gets to bootani then its usually rom erros, freezing at spalsh screens is generally kernel images
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
is it possible to load a kernel when i cant see the phones memory from the computer???
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
someone has to have some idea of to fix this...

just got me to stock unrooted phone.. please
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
yes, download this

boot into fastboot and type in fastboot flash boot /path/to/natarchy.img

replace /path/to with where its located.. this should get you rollin again
[Nexus S General] opie2l:
thank you... thank you... thank you!!!!!!!!

i have learned my lesson and i wont stray from the xda forum next time.

Again thank you
[Nexus S General] Skillz1318:
I have a similiar issue as OP...I tried to flash netarchy kernel with kernal manager and then phone rebooted and got stuck at google logo.

I have installed SDK...google drivers, but when I try to flash the kernel I get waiting for device in command prompt. Same error when I type "fastboot oem unlock"

Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Waiting for device means Windows does not recognize phone. Reinstall drivers.
[Nexus S General] shabbypenguin:
ok sounds like a driver issue, i used pdanet to install the drivers i needed. try fastboot devices, if it doesnt show anything then your phone isnt connected
[Nexus S General] Skillz1318:
Ok used my mac and was able to get cwm recovery on device. I could mount it. Now how can I flash back to stock. I9020A att 3G version. Booting now I see google and a lock.

Thanks everyone!

Do i unzip the file and put every folder separately on the SD card ???

Or do i put the zip file on the SD card ???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do,but if you are attempting to install a NAND ROM ,You must place the ZIP onto root of your sd card.

More information is required:

Are you using magldr or clk,

Is this your first attempt?

What have you done up to this point?

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AthenaLod:
if you are talking about the SD version of android, you unzip it into Android folder and run the two files.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Argentinakidd:
Alright, this is what i'm doing .

First i deleted everything off my SD card, then i unzipped the file, then it comes up as 3 folders, so i put those in my SD card, then i install MAGLDR, then i install CLK, and then i chose the option to boot from SD card from the MAGLDR menu but nothing happens.

If it's any help, i'm trying to do this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905060

:confused::confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
You're trying to install it through CWM/ Clockwork Mod.

Follow the instructions on his thread, READ, not scan, skim, survey, READ! He has two methods presented, one with installation for cLK (a bootloader for android) and installation for MAGLDR (a bootloader for android and WP7). Use either guides he has.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Argentinakidd:
Sorry, i'm a noob .

But look : Download MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M.zip (5.1 MB)

Enter MAGLDR 1.13 by holding power key while booting the phone, and then select "USB Flasher" via "VolUp" and "VolDown". Confirm key is green "Call" button.

Run DAF.exe to flash ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.5 (MAGLDR_recovery_3.0.2.5.img).

Says you gotta do both .. :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Do both what? He's just presenting steps. Just do what he says. Using the vol down/up keys, and the call button to select, pick USB flasher. Plug phone into computer. Flash the daf.exe from the zip he presented above his instruction.

Then proceed with what he says. Please read. Reading is a fundamental, universal skill needed to get through life, not just used to improve your experience in xda.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Ok,

I can see you very confused...

Magldr and clk are both bootloaders.

You only need ONE.

What was the name of the file you unzipped?

Reboot your phone and when it starts and vibrates ,hold the "end call" button on the right.

If you see this:

aMAGLDR V1.13

Build: Feb 1 2011 03:46:07

by Cotulla 2011

1. Boot WPH

2. Boot AD SD

3. Boot AD NAND

4. USB Mass Stg

5. USB Flasher

6. USB TTY

7. AD Hard reset

8. AD Recovery

9. Tetris

10. Services

11. Reset

12. Power Down

then you have MAGLDR installed.

edit:curse my slow typing. :o

3 posts while I was plodding.

Dunno if I helped :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Argentinakidd:
I know i have MAGLDR installed because i did it a coupe hours ago ..

I just don't know what to do with all the files & folders i get when i unzip the ROM .

This is way too confusing for my tiny brain .. :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Argentinakidd:
It says that first you have to install MAGLDR and THEN enter into CLW ..

Look : " Enter ClockworkMod Recovery when you're on MAGLDR 1.13 "

Sorry, this is just really confusing for me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Argentinakidd:
See, this is how i have the files in my SD card, then i go to Boot AD SD and it doesn't work :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Well might as well write a guide for you. XP

Download MAGLDR 1.13.

Install MAGLDR from the tri color screen, which is accessible from powering on the device whilst holding volume down.

Download the CWM 150mb partition.

Turn on your phone whilst holding the power button.

Navigate to usb flasher

Plug phone into computer

Flash the daf. Exe in the Cwm file you downloaded.

Download your android build.

Put the build on the root of your device.

Power up your phone whilst holding power button.

Navigate to ad recovery

Navigate to install zip from sd

Navigate to select zip from sd

Select the zip to install.

Navigate to yes.

Wait for it to install despite how long.

When done, go back and navigate to reboot device.

Note the word zip. Meaning don't unzip the build.

Hi

The microUSB-plug from my brothers HD2 is broken. It can't be fixed. So i need a new Mainboard from an other HD2. I want to buy a HD2 with an broken display at ebay to use its Mainboard to fix my brother's HD2.

My brothers HD2 is the 512MB-Version. I think about buying a US T-Mobile Version with 1GB ROM.

Is the Motherboard from the 1GB HD2 compatible with the 512MB HD2?

If yes: Are there any other disadvantages like less mods or something like this?

im failry sure some of teh connectors are different, the screen, for instance, i think one has a clip in and another needs soldering, or something like that.
[Atrix 4G General] roharia:
Sorry I'm fairly new to Android and I tried to find the solution myself but didn't turn up any "sure-fire" results.

I'm wanting to return my phone/app data back to default like when I got it; the "factory reset" option in the phone or tenfar's cwm doesn't do exactly what I want it to do... I want it to erase all my data: music pictures app settings etc but want to keep my current sbf/os

Is it safe if I format the internal SD? I have a 16gb Micro SD if that matters even an ounce...

I have gingerblur 3.1 on the new OTA...I want to keep that...just not everything else...
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Your 16gb Micro SD is NOT your internal SD. Why not just SBF and start fresh if you want to pretty much erase everything except the GB3.1 mod.?
[Atrix 4G General] justarookie:
You can go to storage option in storage. unmount the internal SD card and format it. it will delete pics/music and data for apps. but if u wanna delete apps u will have to do that in settings and delete them manually..
[Atrix 4G General] roharia:
Yea i figured it out after i made the post, thanks though

I just got the NS4G sprint version and all is great but no wrist strap attachment. Dough! Can anyone suggest anything. I don't like cases much.

Here is a picture of what I'm talking about:

try this one, i've seen it in another post. seems good

[Nexus S Accessories] obsanity:
I should have been more clear. I'm talking about the little loop strap for your wrist. The kind that usually has a little hole for on just about every phone but this one :)
[Nexus S Accessories] t1n0m3n:
I have never seen a smart phone with a loop strap attachment. Maybe you could point one out. I have seen a lot of feature phones with this, and almost every camera, but no smart phones.

Alternatively, maybe you can find a case that has one, but like you said, cases suck.
[Nexus S Accessories] croques:
I had an HTC hero with a wrist strap and I serio usly miss it on my Nexus.

My only part-way solution is to get a 3.5mm plug (wire free) and connect the strap to that.
[Nexus S Accessories] kms108:
you can consider these, it will take a fair bit of weight, but will not allow you to swing your phone.

@t1n0m3n

most HTC has a hole for a strap, my HTC mozart 7 has one, it's a windows 7 phone.

I did the grey blur Rom, loving it, but when it got rid of all the bloatware it got rid of my task killer. The one with auto end list. Anyone know how I can attain that again?
[Atrix 4G General] PakaPakaxz:
^looking for that too, he means to Task Manager that was on the stock rom.
[Atrix 4G General] Gvndeb60:
What for? Read up on task killers.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
I use it to kill a few rogue apps that don't like to turn off and destroy my battery, like Navigon.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
^ *sigh* There's still a need for it from time to time. That's why it was included in the original ROM, and even my Samsung has it too.

OP, you're stuck with "force stop" or you can download this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=biz.stachibana.FroyoTaskKiller

^ which basically does the same thing as "force stop" but it saves you a few steps to get there, plus it lets you know what apps are also running (which is nice to know in case you need to single out a rogue app on your phone).

It's not as good as the stock task killer, but it will stop any app and sniff out the rogue ones.

Hope that helps... :)
[Atrix 4G General] Gvndeb60:
Ok, just looked and I am running Greyblur and it has the stock task killer still there. Also on the gingerblur thread or site they have a zip file of stick bloatware, could be there.
[Atrix 4G General] Gvndeb60:
Was asking a serious question, I have the same phone without the need so I was curious as to what apps are going nuts on their phones....as far as the read up on task killers comment, I was just giving general advise so they are not sweating it if they assumed they needed it.
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
No problem, I'm just tired of Task Killer topics that sometimes end up in flame wars... :)
[Atrix 4G General] illmatic416:
If you download Autostarts or AutoRun Manager, you'll see apps that restart or start for such asinine reasons. After powering up or rebooting, many apps are set to startup even if you don't use them often. For example, the eBay app will start in the background for such system events as "Application Replaced" or "External apps available". So when I insert my microSD card and I have some .apks backed up on it by Astro, why should the eBay app start up in the background because the media scanner detected there are apks. Don't get me started on Google Maps, there are all sorts of crap that it starts for. I only want GoogleMaps running when I need it running, not when I install a new app or if I unistall an app or replace an app. While it might be great to have an instant lock on my location so I can instantly add to Latitude(which I don't use), it kinda sucks that I'll also be grabbing my charger sooner since it's running in the background.

Most good task managers will help kill those apps and have the option to put certain apps on an exclude to kill list, which gives you control of what is running and what is not. A good way to figure things out is to kill all your running apps in the task manager and see what will restart. You can put the ones you want and need running, such as widgets and apps that get updates, on an exclude to kill list...that helps with the whole "battery drains because app keeps having to restart" argument as to why task managers are "bad." I use Autostarts to prevent apps i don't want running from starting for useless reasons and Advanced Task Manager to force close ones when I don't need them any longer. However, there is a learning curve as to what you shutdown or prevent from running, as it may affect other apps.

Im having a problem mounting my SD card on my Xoom (external SD card).

It doesnt work at all for CWM, which is strange when normally it should pick it up.

Any hints or tips on trying to get this work?

Specs; Euroxoom 3G
[Xoom General] siscim23:
If you have an android phone, format it with that. If not, download an SD card formatting program to your computer, and format it there.
[Xoom General] fkofilee:
lol i think you misunderstood, but mind you i never put it.... there is no issue with the formatting etc, ....

Problem is the xoom does not detect and Micro Sd card i have, i dont think its a faulty port etc, but i thought motorola hadnt released a software update for it to work? yet people can still flash stuff through CWM?
[Xoom General] Sic123:
the sd card slot is activated using tiamat kernel in 1.3.2 or newer
[Xoom General] kuroguy:
you need to install one of the kernel mod packs. See post 3 of the tiamat 1.4.1 kernel post in the development forum. They'll also get your charging light working.
[Xoom General] cam30era:
Did you root your Xoom, and install the Tiamat kernel?
[Xoom General] fkofilee:
im trying to install the Tiamat Kernal... lol but to flash in CWM you need a working SD card slot xd
[Xoom General] cam30era:
You can't flash a kernel from CWM until after you have rooted and pushed a custom kernel via ADB first. There are many threads in the development section on how to do this. Look for one that matches your "Euroxoom ". Or, if yours is a wifi only, there is a great tutorial by LanD Master in Q and A, for us noobs.
[Xoom General] fkofilee:
meh i was trying to avoid pushing it, mind you i suppose its time to brush off those adb skills at work tomorrow lol
[Xoom General] tinpusher:
I didn't have a working sd card slot and I flashed the clockwork recovery last night. I read that clockwork has its own kernel which will detect the sd card. It didn't detect it at first but that was because I inserted the sd card AFTER I booted to CWM. I rebooted, with the sd card still in, and CWM recognized it. Then I loaded the tiamat kernel and flashed it.
[Xoom General] solarnz:
Correct. You can infact flash clockworkmod recovery without having already installed a sdcard enabled kernel.

Technically the recovery image is a boot image - it contains it's own kernel and starts its operating system of a ram disk, due to this we can flash the recovery to the boot partition if we need to. (Useful if you screw up a kernel on the wifi models where you can't boot into recovery without doing "adb reboot recovery")

However, don't forget you need an external sdcard to use clockworkmod, the internal storage will not work.
