[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kngroo:
Curious noob here. My desire's current security state is S-ON and has always been. However, I was able to use unrevoked3 to root the device, then use ROM Manager to download and flash CM7 on my device using cwr, without having to tweak the S-ON/OFF settings (simply following the installation guidelines on the cyanogenmod7 wiki page).

According to this thread, using alpharev to S-OFF the device is a mandatory step in flashing the device. I also did not repartition my sd card with Gpartition like the tutorial instructed to.

When I first flashed CM7, the installation procedure went smoothly, but the CM7 boot screen kept looping. I was able to resolve this issue by doing a factory reset/wipe data using cwr, then rebooting the device. I now have perfectly functioning CM7 on my device in S-ON state. How is this possible?

I bought the phone on craigslist from a guy who had only installed official updates from the provider, but had unlocked it using a purchased unlock code from one of those phone unlocking stores in Chinatown. Would that explain why I was able to bypass the S-ON state?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
S-OFF allows you to modify certain protected system files. For example, there is a specific boot table for CM7 that allocates less internal memory to the System, leaving more space for Data (where you store apps).

At the moment, you probably have less than 140MB free space for Apps on your phone. CM7 is quite a small ROM, so on the standard boot table (S-ON), you have ~250 MB allocated to system, and most of that is going to waste in your case. If you go S-OFF and flash the CM7 boot table, you get a much smaller system partition, which is the perfect size for CM7, plus you get ~300MB free space for apps.

So it gives you a lot more freedom, and can result in huge benefits, but it is not strictly necessary. It's a simple procedure though, so there's no reason not to do it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hairykewell:
I performed s-off yesterday and I can see a significant speed difference with the rom I'm using. Not to mention lots more internal memory!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Cid:
In short: no. But if you want to add a custom partition table to increase your /Data memory space (for more INTERNAL memory...) or if you wish to change and/or modify system files, you'll want to do the S-OFF.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenofil:
You must always wipe user data before flashing a new rom. Thats the reason why u got a bootloop the first time. Has nothing to do with s-on / s-off. Imo there is no reason why you should make it s-off unless you know what it means and what you need it for.

The chance of bricking your device is higher with s-off, since u are then able to modify the system partition.

ok im sorry to do this since there are so many threads but im gonna get an hd2 tommorow and need to know a few things.

1) is there a stable and everything working windows phone 7 rom?

2) is there a stable and everything working android rom?

2+) i see nand and sd android , which is faster/stabler/betterer?

3) how would i go about flashing either of these roms?

4) im trading my samsung captivate for the hd2. good idea?

Thank you for all the help
[HD2 General] silverwind:
1.yes (except camera)

2.yes

2+. Nand is faster. But if you want to have dual boot, use SD Android.

3. Install SPL 2.08.HSPL, Do Task 29, Flash RADIO 2.15.XXX, install MAGLDR, Install WP7 or Nandroid. If you want to have Winmo 6.5, you dont need MAGLDR.

4. Yes. I think :D

Youre welcome :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkomen64:
is there ANYTHING (other then re keying my volumes buttons) to make them any better.. some times (less then 15% of the time) they are fine... the rest of the time...they just plain suck.. some times it literally takes 10-20 seconds of pressing the back button for it to actually work sitting there tapping rubbing anything for them to do anything... of the few gripes i have with my captivate its the BIGGEST (followed probably by battery life and lagginess when installing apps, but that can be forgiven just dont bother using the phone while its installing apps lol)

I'm so sick of the buttons.. i've had the phone since well july 18 i think... the first day it was released i ordered it the say it went on att's web site..

i've very tempted to install something like button savior or something.. but dont like teh idea of those on this "small" of a screen.. those arnt bad on my nook color but....

i have also tried a few different roms.. firefly,cog,CM7 a bit ago,perception.. using continum now. love the netflix app lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBalto:
I have problems too with my back button on my captivate, it lacks sensitivity.. I wonder if this is a hardware issue... I'm running stock for now since my captivate has no 3 button combo either..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little8020:
I got my captivate at the end of July so probably first batch like yours and the only problems i have is either lagging witch would only be a second or two with heavy usage or not hitting them good so you probably do have an issue

Maybe dust or a small separation from the top of phone to the actual part where it recognises the touch, i know moisture can get in there and make three buttons hit many times randomly
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supaphreek:
Perhaps contact your local cell phone store (the one who sold it to you). Im sure you could just send it in for repairs :S

but beware.. ive read things about them screwing you over with rommed/rooted phones. I had no issue with that however
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polynesianroots:
i got mine in September. I actually got two for my fiancee and I. The back buttons are a pain. Have you all experienced the search button popping up after you tried to hit the menu, back or home button? Happens to me all the time.

I first thought it was the Defender Otterbox since it comes close to covering them up but I took it out of its case and it still happens.

Wonder if I can claim this as a hardware issue and replace it? Anyone have any luck replacing a phone due to buttons?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] little8020:
I think I saw were someone was able to get it warranty replacement/ repaired because of the capacitive buttons acting up. It never hurts to try :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
We had two day one phones, build 1006. Never had amy issues until this month started seeing random shutdowns. Our capacitive buttons were fine, but we never used cases. We called att for replacements. We both got build 1102, and they have been fine so far. I would suggest call att or visit att service center if there is one near you to swap it out. I would also suggest using Odin one click to return to stock before returning them.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totolita:
Hi,

I just received my Asus Transformer, but it is the first time this happens to me. I never had this issue with any of my previous android devices, not even the Xoom.

I have the US version of the Transformer, but I'm using it in latinamerica. This is exactly how I bought the Xoom too.

As soon as I started the tablet, I configured it with my google account as usual, and it started to download the apps I had installed in my Xoom. Suddenly it stops half the way, and I thought it was because I had many many apps. But inmediatly it downloaded an update (8.2.3.13 for tablet and another one for docking keyboard).

Now, when I tried to resume (or reinstall) my old apps (example Flash or Skype), the market won't let me download it. It shows is until the details page, it shows the button "Install", but when I click it, it says "Item not found", and it won't download anything.

I even tried with the web version of the market, and the Transformer appears gray for most apps.

Since this never happened before, not with Xoom neither with Galaxy S, I wonder if it is some problem with the Transformer?

Any ideas?? I haven't root, of course, still checking on this problem....

Tks.

Clear the cache for the market, and the market updater, and try again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_aura:
This is exactly what is happening to me, I'm from Puerto Rico.

I had the Xoom 3G and currently have the HTC EVO. These 2 devices never had problems with the market, why?

1. The Xoom 3G contains mobile network chipset and is "carrier bound", in this case, Verizon. I've noticed that when a Honeycomb tablet is carrier bound, the owner will be able to see all apps permitted to the carrier country. In this case, since it's Verizon (US based), the market is fully open.

2. The HTC EVO (Sprint) is the same thing as the Xoom 3G.

Now, the interesting part: if a Honeycomb tablet is WiFi only, since there is no mobile network chipset, the market will use the current IP address to recognize the location (country) and filter apps for that country.

I sold the Xoom 3G for a Transformer (obviously, WiFi only) and since I'm in Puerto Rico, the market is too filtered, not even Adobe or most of Google apps are available.

The following 2 workarounds works for me:

1. I activated the hotspot on my HTC EVO, then did a factory reset on the TF. During the initial setup, I selected the WiFi connection provided by the Hotspot, since this WiFi contains a US based IP address (Sprint), the setup will recognize the location as US. After finishing the setup, the market will be fully open, not only that, the web version of the market (https://market.android.com/) will also recognize the TF as located on US and will keep it saved that way. After changing the WiFi back to the local network, I can still browse and install all apps to the TF from the web market, since it was setup with an US IP, but the market app will still filter the apps.

2. In the "My Apps" section of the market app, only those apps filtered to the country will be shown, so if there is an update for a specific filtered app, you won't see the pending update. In this case, I just reconnect the TF to the EVO hotspot WiFi and then restart it, when going to the market app, all apps will be there (My Apps) and I can see if there is any pending update for all installed apps. This method can also be used to install apps from the market app, it's just that the download speed will be probably slower than local network.

Mine changes to green at 90% also. I just assumed it was normal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kofrad:
I've only noticed the 90% green on CyanogenMod, running LeeDroid right now and the LED only turns green at 100%. I'm pretty sure this is a bug. In my opinion if this is intended to be a feature, there should be different notifications based on almost/fully charged. Maybe flashing at 90%, solid at 100%?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cordell507:
this is on most roms but its not a bad thing, its not like your battery life is bad its just showing when its basically done charging

[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
I'm on CM7 and my LED turns to green at 90% as well. Is this something you are seriously concerned over? It's an LED color, as long as it continues to charge to 100% who cares lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
As others have said, it is normal for the light to go green at 90%. Every ROM I've tried (except for LeeDroid) does the same thing, and from what I recall even the stock HTC ROM switches to green at 90%, which is probably the basis for most of the custom ROMs doing the same thing.

My guess as to why the light goes green at 90% is because that last 10% of charging time takes a while (due to an increase in charge trickling) and the average consumer would be waiting and waiting for their charging light to go green if it were set to 100%. The ROMs/kernels are designed to balance the convenience factor with a little loss in charged capacity.

As the battery charge gets closer and closer to 100%, the electrical charging current being sent to the battery decreases more and more. This is best practice when charging a Li-ION battery to help prolong its lifespan. In our Inspire phones I have noticed (using Battery Monitor Widget set to 1 minute intervals) that during a typical charging cycle, when the battery is between 1% and 59% the kernel or the ROM (not sure which one controls charging; my guess is the kernel) allows the battery to receive a full charge. Using the stock HTC AC adapter, this equates to around 820mA with the screen off. Once the battery reaches 60%, the software will start to throttle back the charging a little bit at a time - the higher the battery is charged, the less current is applied. By the time you hit the 90% mark, the battery is only being fed with around 100mAH of power and is still decreasing. So that last 10% takes a little while.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
My stock Inspire doesn't go green until it hits 100%. I tested it twice to make sure. The last 10% does take a little longer, but still no green until charging is completed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Quincux:
Try a battery calibration
[HTC Inspire 4G] nooomoto:
Mine goes green at 90% while the phone is on. If charging and turned off it goes green at 100%. This is both when I was stock as well as now on MIUI

Posted from MIUI Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] kimtyson:
What? Please explain how this is done.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyliho:
Well said HenryBravo.

The most efficient way it seems to calibrated your battery, in my opinion, is to first download current widget. Go to widgets and add the current widget widget to your screen. Plug in your phone, and leave it plugged in until your m/a reading says zero or 0m/a. You will see one hundred percent charged on the widget, tap on the 100 and a smaller number (anywhere from 30m/a on down will be present) it is this number that shows how much charge your phone is still drawing. Even though it says 100%, like HenryBravo stated, It is STILL drawing current, and until the widget reads 0m/a, is not fully charged. When you reach the coveted 0m/a mark, open file expert (or corresponding app) and go to the data folder. Then system. Then batterystats.bin - delete the file and reboot with phone plugged in (until reboted, then unplug) and your system will recreate your batterystats.bin file and have the proper value for a full charge. Also, this can be done by booting in to recovery, going to advanced, wiping battery stats, and rebooting. There are other calibration methods I have read of, which involve fully charging, depleting, charging again, etc... I have found this method yields the same results for me. Not all phones are the same and some phones yield various results with certain procedures, I am not sure if the battery calibration falls in this Category or not. Good Luck and hope it helps!!

When I'm running CM7 this happens to me too. But on Cleardroid ROM it stays orange and wont turn green until 100%. I think its just part of the Rom, nothing to worry about.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
This is normal operation. It's not a bug. When your phone reaches 90%, that is when it resets the calculation of how long your phone has been on/off the battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Quoted directly from the phone manual, "As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged". Shouldn't really matter though, as long as the phone charges to 100%.

Hey guys and gals, I'd like to get an idea for how much interest we have in buying a few infuse devices for some of the Cyananogen team and/or the Miui team.

I first want to understand how many people would be interested in this and thereafter i will reach out to some people to talk to Koush and company. You don't have to donate now just pledge a donation for a specific ROM.

The thought behind this is that if we can get either of these two teams or both of them a device the may not have considered once they spend time with such a beautiful device they will be more interested in development for ths phone sooner.

If we dont get enough interest in donations we'll just have to wait on a few devs to mosey on over here. Your choice!

Guys, just a heads-up. Trying to figure out how to get 100% working recovery (already hit Koush up) and/or an Odin one-click / save-me application. From there, i will gladly start work on CM6/CM7. CM7 will be very difficult without Gingerbread and/or Gingerbread source, but there is a chance that it is possible.

Basically, when Koush drops CWM and/or Samfirmware drops an Odin One-Click for stock, we should be good to start.

Until then, you will most likely hear very little dev work being done that is fully tested, unless your phone is already bricked and the stuff that is built (such as the de-odexed ROM) and you apply it with success.

Thanks,
