[General Questions and Answers] kycrop44:
So I was doing laundry yesterday and I found my backup battery at the bottom of the washer after it finished. I'm just wondering if its still good, or will it cause my phone to explode or what? The moisture strip that changes colors is of course pink now. Duh. Buts its for an epic 4g and its a1500mAh. Anybody know :\
[General Questions and Answers] gagan007:
the battery would have obviously got short but I don't think it'd die yet.why don't you dry it completely and then try it in any of your phones. or if you are too scared to do that just throw it away because your handset costs a lot more than the battery!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mystica555:
The question is in the title.

I searched the Android Hacking top-level-forum for fsck: 8 hits. 4 come from this particular 'general' sub-forum of 7826 threads. e2fsck isn't much better, 16 total, 8 in this sub-forum. And not all of these are relevant at all. None seem to describe how to properly utilize it.

Here's my take:

You run a filesystem with a journal but to keep things fast you have mount options of data=writeback and barrier=0. Or maybe no journal at all.

You reboot uncleanly. The journal may replay and everything's fine, and it works. Or the journal is corrupt, missing, or somehow cannot be replayed to make everything happy.

Why have people moved away from actually checking the filesystem on boot, like every sane desktop/server operating system does ? What seems to make people think that an Android smartphone isn't in the same class as the other devices?

Yes, your phone is a handheld computer. The phone you have in your pocket is probably near the speed of your second Windows XP / OSX machine by now, at least in perceived speed and ability to do stuff. Likely more-so in terms of web content access and likely a lot faster seeming for other tasks.

This is a lot of computing power in your hand and not fixing a corrupt filesystem on such a complex device is a crying shame...

Is there any good reason why it seems to me that so many roms exist without adding e2fsck to a boot script to properly check and clean the partitions before actually mounting them? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] androj:
As you have pointed out that the filesystem check is usually not done at boot time.

Is there a way to catch it up at runtime?
[HTC Desire S] feyd1980:
The headphone jack on my Desire S was not working. Either the headphone connection icon was not there when I plugged it in, or when it was there, there was no sound coming from the headphones. (By the way I have tried various headsets).

I sent it back to O2 and the replacement I have got today has exactly the same problem! Am I doing sth wrong, is there a workaround anyone knows?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Used my own head phones for weeks, no problems experienced

Head phone icon appears when I plug them in.

Sorry
[HTC Desire S] dohnjoe:
I wonder whether they simply sent back the same one, with a factory reset done
[HTC Desire S] feyd1980:
No, they did not because I sent the first phone back to O2 with the courier who delivered the replacement.
[HTC Desire S] dohnjoe:
Hmmm, or you were tricked by the courier ;-)
[HTC Desire S] feyd1980:
Nevermind. I don't know whether it was related with Sound Settings->Pocket mode or not, I toggled it off then on, and the headphone starts working now. Weird. I wondered whether that would have worked on the first phone which was sim unlocked. Now I have to unlock this one. Shame.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendlebum:
Hi all, I've installed the cm7 version of RCMix by robocik - if I wanted to go to an A2SD GB Rom, can I just flash it or do I need to install a new hboot? Apologies if I've misused any of those terms, still new to all this.

Thanks in advance

Matt
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Did you install the cm7 partition table, too?

Because if so, you must reflash the Stock Bravo partiton table for an A2SD+ ROM most likely.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendlebum:
Ah, I think I did - is that all that stuff from Alpharev?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] riesan:
when you see the sony ericsson boot up enter xrec and reinstall... if can't connect your phone to pc and reflash using SEUS or SE PC companion...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] avlopp:
Well, this is the mini forum, not the mini pro. So if you took a rom from this section it's probably not compatible with your phone.

Also, use the search function. It's there for a reason.

Lots of people have problems with bootloops, just browse the forum for a while and you will most likely find detailed help for your problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ribben:
boot in xrecovery go to advanced options -> wipe dalvik cache
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] twins.7:
1. Replace your battery or press both power button and home button

2. switch on phone

3. if see SE logo, press back button 1000x until xrecovery window show up

4. restore your back up or try factory reset

5. reboot
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] epaljr:
if cant boot to xrecovery then your phone is totally brick...

repair it using SEUS... and start all over again
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Haaley:
Yeah, here's the Mini Forum, not Mini *PRO*.

Use the ROMs from here

Repair a phone isn't a hard thing. If you've made a backup before install the rom just restore. You can use SEUS (aka Sony Ericsson Update Service) to restore the phone. Try to reinstall the ROM. Make sure you followed all the steps during the ROM instalation.

Sorry for bad english.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lucf:
Hello people,

I've a question, especially for the Dutch (Noord-Brabant) people on this forum.

My GPS on my HD2 is extremely slow, i'm getting a first GPS lock in about 15-30 minutes. Sometimes it won't work at all! On the WindowsMobile days I had the feature to download (A-)GPS sattelite posisitions (QuickGPS if i'm right) but this this isn't possible for Android. I think have to manually edit the gps.conf file, but i don't know what the best values are.

I've tested my GPS locks in the car, garden, inside my house and at the beach.

Maybe we can start a thread where people can share their configuration to help the people like me, sorted by country.

Can anyone help me?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Bazzz66:
I have the app GPS Status.

It downloads GPS settings when you open it.

No problems with GPS, I do not use it often but fix normally under 5 min (cold start)

Further search for a thread that explains how to edit the GPS config file, maybe that will help.

I have AmericanAndroid (SD), I do not know what android version you have?

SD / Nand?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lucf:
Thanks for the fast reply!

I'm running Typhoon's CM7 nand build, the newest. In the thread of this build on XDA I can read this:

I've already downloaded the program GPS Status and downloaded the GPS information (on startup indeed) but I don't think it's really downloading this information.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnEcash:
I had success with the fasterfix application setting the pool to

be.pool.ntp.org, for NL it will be nl.pool.ntp.org

Afterwards I used GPSstatus app to check how the fix on the Satellites are and to download the A-GPS statusses.

As far as I know our gps connection can be affected by weather, your own possition (outdours / indoors) and the android build you are using.

Last night I had a good satellite fix in less then a minute (outdoors/clear sky and BE gps pool)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lucf:
I'll test changing the pool! Thanks for the advise!

I've tested the GPS many times on different places and 2 days ago on the beach (clear sky and very hot :))! So I don't think my problem isn't related to the weather or constructions / houses.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ardkuijpers:
I'm also from Noord-Brabant (Ehv). Just tested my GPS time to fix, lying in my hammock in the garden ;). It's about 60 sec in cold start and 5 sec. in hot start with GPS Status.

I'm using Tyween CM7 3.2.0 and radio 2.15.40.xxx. I'm using standard gps.conf but changed the NTP server with fasterfix. There is no need to use AngelDeath's settings.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bugly Astard:
Ive been searching the forum about this, along with google and its only getting more confusing. See, the rom Im using (pzafroyo 2.2) has this value set to 260 stock. From my searching, some say 260 is the best, while others say 26 is optimum. Thats a huge difference in value, so what is it? I tryed 26, 60, 220 and 260. The only thing I noticed is that on 26 the screen response when going from page to page or the notification bar follow my finger much better where as 60 and above all felt and looked the same(slower response) to me if not maybe appears smoother on higher settings tho not much. Ill take response over smooth any day if thats really what Im seeing, does a higher number tax the phone more? Are there pros and cons to higher or lower? I hope this turns out to be a good resource for others, thanks!

Has anyone noticed their back camera lens start to peel off? The top of mine pops up ever so slightly and I can push it back down. It'll sit for a while but come up again no matter how long I hold it.

Maybe I could some how heat it up enough to where the glue melts that I can hold it in place. I ordered mine online and really don't want to go through the exchange process. It would be like taking your baby back to the hospital after he's born for another two weeks.
[Acer Iconia A500] 84z28:
You sure thats just not the protective plastic the a500 comes with ?
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:
No, its certainly that black peice of glass (or plastic) that's over the lens.
[Acer Iconia A500] kappen:
That sucks! Did it just happen or did it get hit or was maybe left in a hot car or something?

I know you don't want to but I think its best to return it.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:

[Acer Iconia A500] lyme:
It isn't the lense that is popping off, it is simply the plastic covering. Mine is popping a bit as well, think I'll crazy glue it down.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:
Yeah, its not the lens but I wasn't about to put "plastic camera thing is peeling" in the subject lol

Here's a picture

http://www.imgur.com/1BfNZ.jpg

I really want to exchange it. I ordered mine online and picked it up at my local bestbuy store. I called the store and they said I couldn't do exchanges in-store for an online order. Bestbuy.com says differently. I emailed them both hoping to get a definite answer.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:
Wow. Discovered today that if I push on the back camera, even the slightest pressure, the camera doesn't work. The camera app shows a big green screen. I'm starting to think that it isn't the glass frame that's off but the whole camera module it self.

Add just a little more pressure and you can see distortion on the display opposite of where the camera is placed. There must not be anything between the camera module and the LCD.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
Definitely sound like you got a defective model.

I wouldn't suggest anyone start putting pressure on the camera housing to test. It's not like they were built for anything other than it's normal function and day to day stresses.

agentdax5, return it however you have too. I wouldn't try and fix it or make it any worse. Just package it up and send it back.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:
Exchanged it today no problem but it looks like this one has the same problem...

Not as bad as before but still. Almost makes me want to return it and wait for a Galaxy Tab 10.1
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I'd take it right back then on the next exchange, open it up in front of them and check.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:
Thanks for the advice. I should be going back tomorrow. They had 3 left when I went, hope they don't happen to sell them by then.
[Acer Iconia A500] agentdax5:

Whoever told you that was full of BS

I ordered my A500 online and picked it up at my local Best Buy. When I got it home it had a 1.5 inch crack running across one corner of the screen. I took it back the next morning and they swapped it out (after I convinced them I didn't break it). There was never any question of how I ordered it or if I just came in and picked it up. You should report whoever at that store told you that to the manager, and if it was the manager report it to the home office. Times are tough enough without stupid employees running off customers over BS like that.

The other day my girlfriend broke her Blackberry and I said I would lend her my old G1, now obviously I don't use it very often but I knew I would have to flash it because I remembered putting Honeycomb on it when it came out. My predictions were confirmed when I turned it on so I went and found a download of CM5 (Most stable ROM I ever used on it), but very stupidly

of me I didn't do a nandroid cos I figured I wouldn't need one as I didn't care about the Honeycomb I put on it.

Getting to the point, when I flashed CM5 it just got stuck boot looping on the bootloader, I tried some other ROMS I found in the form with G1compatability but they all boot loop too! I have no idea what radio I have etc since I don't use it often and I have no OS to check, any suggestions on how to just get it to boot.
