[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jimniceguy:
Hi, everyone!

Recently, I installed CyanogenMod 7 which is probably the reason of damaged Power button. I've been keeping it pressed for a long time with X/camera/volume up etc. Anyways, I've been using it for nearly a year now, so.. I still have warranty, but it's not the case. Since I don't want to send it back yet, I come up with this question.

How to power on my Milestone WITHOUT using power button whatsoever? Even entering bootloader mode requires me to press it. Any ideas?

Even impractical ones, I don't turn it off very often, but I need to know that in case of emergency..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] splashattack:
tried plugging it into a wall charger while its off? it always boots up my droid automatically
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jimniceguy:
Oh, thank you. As far as I remember, it happened to me several times, but mosstly - there is just waving battery icon.. thanks for response though!

Additionally, how to lock screen without using Power button?-.- or access sound/flight mode/turn off menu?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] splashattack:
cm7 has status bar toggles for all of that, if you still have it installed. dont know if theres any way to access the regular phone options menu without using the power button though, sorry
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jimniceguy:
Well, I turned on status bar widgets and Locking widget too, but.. it apparently disables auto-locking screen, instead of locking on demand..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] splashattack:
The go to sleep status bar widget in cm7 interface settings. That's the one that shuts off the screen and locks the phone. Tried it myself before posting.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jimniceguy:
Geez.

I apologize for caused confusion, I didn't notice it at first... I set my volume up/down as waking buttons and widget for going to sleep :D

Awesome support, splashattack, thank you very much!:D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] vikcon:
I am having same problem.

I connect my cell to my laptop and it starts. I am using custom ROM.

I want to rollback to stock, so that I can avail warranty on it.

Any idea how to enter bootloader mode without power button

I tried terminal emulator

But it reboots to OR not to bootloader.

Any solution for bootloader ? or any command?

EDIT

Its solved. I have assigned volume rocker for screen unlock,

I rebooted it using terminal emulator, Pressed and hold volume rocker + Dpad - up and I entered bootloader.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Fekish:
i am always thinking that a button at the front would have been great in order to unlock the phone easier....

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

I've installed several android nand roms on my HD2.

My problem is, that I cannot download/install some apps out of the marketplace.

I can try to install it, the download-logo appears but then disappears a second later without doing anything.

It's happening for about 20% of the apps, and I have no clue why. I even purchased an app for 15$ and cannot download/install it.

No error message, nothing.

What can be the problem?

Thanks

Dominik

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyShroomz:
Mine doesn't drop under 70%. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgi:
Doesn't really say anything. It just means that your display is taking up (approximately) 70% of the total power used.

You have to see it in relation to how you use your phone. If you have it just lying around with all power hungry stuff off and just turn on the display to look up the time from time to time you might get such a figure.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteRabbit22:

If NFC is really important to you, you should be able to purchase a replacement microSD with an imbedded NFC chip. Not sure how much a 32GB card will be, however.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdavies:
Hmph. Well... I guess I'll just wait to see if this goes anywhere.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
On a phone, it takes more than an rfid reader to access it because it's not a dumb chip (opposed to say rfid on a credit card). Payments are encrypted and transmitted between the phone and the reader as well so man in the middle attacks aren't going to happen.

Please dont spread FUD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt without citing sources. Only issues with rfid (which is has nothing more in common with nfc other than they share the same frequency) being read so far are on crappy implementations such as gas passes with exxon and other stations and toll passes. The proper way for phones to do payments is a one time key that's only good for a transaction.

There are other things nfc is good for besides payments as well (using it in tandem with bluetooth)

http://mobisocial.stanford.edu/img/nfc-poker.jpg (one example)

This isnt exactly nfc, since it's using an rfid tag to give bluetooth connection details, but it works on non hardware enabled nfc devices:

Will there be custom roms based off the official gingerbread update soon? Is it necessary? I would feel better to have a custom rom based of the official update just released. Also can it be used and have sense 3.0 inserted? That would be awesome. I'm pretty sure that only bits and pieces will be used the fix issues and stuff. What do you think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Yes. I'm sure there's one or more available at this very moment. As for elements of Sense 3.0, the Synergy rom has it. It is Gingerbread, Sense 2.1 and 3.0 all rolled in one. It should be available to the masses very soon. It is very well built

I have been searching forever and can't find my issue. I have rooted with the installer kit, flashed LeeDroid, Everything went fine. After reboot my inspire doesn't have Mobil Network. Sorry if this has been answered but maybe I'm not searching the right ?. Been at this for a few hours now and what to be done with this so I can set this thing up. I think it might have to do with radio but iffy to proceed till someone can conform thats it.

Thanks in advance.

Have you checked your apn settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] xGr4ndx2:
Yes just from another post here. Tried with no help. Maybe need a better post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Try pulling the battery for five min. Then replace it and turn back on. If that doesn't work check the thread for your rom. Make sure that your using the recommended radio with your rom. If it is and your still having the same prob I'd say reinstall the radio and rom see if that helps. I haven't had this problem before and don't use that rom. But just bouncing some ideas around to see if I cant help you figure it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
First things I would do, check the sim make sure it is in the phone properly. pull the battery. I did notice that you are not running the recommended radio for the rom, you should flash the radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 as that rom has the ril for it, if that dosen't work, reflash the rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Thanks for jumping in. I didnt think about the sim card.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Hey all,

Was wondering something that may or may not be stupid (not too sure yet) but I thought I'd ask just incase.

Now that we have 2nd Init working, can we test it with a copy of 2.3.3 from a Dev phone? seeing as they should easily be able to back it up somehow (cos they devs and what not)

Just a thought to save us having to wait for someone to port CM7 or similar (not that I mind as I am already greatful and wish I could help more)

EDIT: Even AOSP Gingerbread as that would seem like the easiest and quickest to port. weekend project anyone? :D

[Nexus S General] TheScPCrew:
I just recently received the new Spring Nexus S 4G...Model GRJ22 with Android 2.3.4 installed. I'm looking for the proper way to root this device and came across this article: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-root-nexus-s-4g-tutorial/

I'm currently on Step 2 and wondering if a mounted SD Card is necessary in order to root the device? On my last phone, the Motorola Atrix, I was able to root without having an SD Card and install all my apps to the phone. Does the Nexus S not have enough room to do this and if I do install SuperUser directly onto the device, would I be able to recover/reset to factory in the future?

My second question is this. At the end of this guide it says "You now have permanent root"...

If I ever wanted to restore/reset this back to factory settings is it possible? (this is a business phone, provided by my company, not a personal purchase). I will eventually have to return this device. Do I need an SD card in order to reset this to factory?

Thirdly (for those that may know)...I'm trying to reset my Atrix back to factory settings. I've flashed back to factory, and even went and did a hard reset on my phone. It's wiped all my apps clean and took me back through the initial setup. However, if I go to file manager...I still see all the folders that were created when I had my phone rooted. Program folders, temp files, photos I took...why are all these files/folders still here? It seems to have unrooted, but how do I wipe the phone back to COMPLETE factory form?
[Nexus S General] XDA_Badman:
Answer to question 2:

You can reset this to factory setting pretty easily,

You need a 'Stock GRJ22 4G Nandroid' [keep it safe somewhere]

Then when in 'clockworkmod' click 'backup and restore' > 'restore' > 'StockGRJ22Nandroid.zip'

Then all will be back to STOCK after this operation is complete [ie. No Root,No Clockworkmod, No Modded Rom]

The only thing left to do is go into 'cmdprompt' [win7] and navigate to your Android-SDK ie. 'cd C:\android-sdk\tools' then type in 'fastboot oem lock'

Answer to question 3:

Even though you clicked 'Factory reset/wipe' it will always keep the files on your '/sdcard' directory, its pretty good really because i store all my 'cyanogen roms',spare apk's and a backup or two.

I do not know the answer to question 1 but i would assume that you didnt need an external /sd as i have a nexus s [3g model] and it has 16GB built in, meaning all was possible without needing one.

Hope this help you on your rooting journey, i know it can be tough to get your head around but it will sink in eventually, even the most skilled face daunting tasks
[Nexus S General] TheScPCrew:
Great! Thank you so much!

Could you possibly link me to that StockGRJ22Nandroid.zip file?

Does anybody else have any words of advice? I'd really appreciate it!

Also is there anyway to erase those extra files left on my Atrix? A program...or possibly a forum that lists the default files/folders I need to KEEP so I can delete the other files?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
In my opinion the article you are referring to is poorly written and incomplete. You'll be better off using this guide:

I downloaded the uber files tonight to root my HTC Thunderbolt. However, when I moved onto the second step using ADB, I've hit a bit of a snag.

While I am seeing the device listed under devices, it's telling me it's offline. This despite the fact I can copy files to and from the microSD card, as well as internal memory. Below is what I see at my terminal:

robertjm@robertjm-desktop:~/Desktop/ThunderRoot/downgrade$ adb devices

I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 32bit version. At this point, I'm guessing it has something to do with the HTC drivers since I didn't install HTC Sync (there is no version in linux, right??)

Anyone on here use linux with their Thundebolt? If so, are you connecting it via ADB??

Thanks,

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenk919:
SE probably thought: main reason to open back cover is to swap SD card!

Unsafely removing SD card might mean loss of data though :(

let's automagicly have the SD card unmounted when the back is open!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da22a:
Makes sense to me, however I do wonder, if the back cover wasn't so flimsy and light, making myself included have a fear of snapping it , if the original poster would have had this sd card issue in the first place?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenk919:
making it flimsy it what actually prevents from breaking when you let it fall or hit a corner when it's in your pants. It bends a little and absorbs the impact. Flimsy material often is very light and besides that a lot of people are actually complaining about the phone being to have so possibly every gram mattered.

Personally I would prefer a heavier/bulkier phone (a thick battery with extra big back cover should ariver shortly :) ).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Heavier phones are harder to slip out of your hand. Unfortunately, they are also more prone to taking damage.

I find the plastic back easy to hold, and the curvature helps.

Metal backings are harder to break, but they are easier to drop, and get dented.

All in all, I really like the way SE designed the Play.

Odp: [Q] problem with SD card unmounting on its own

It's not silly. It's kind of important especially because you can eject your sdcard without pulling battery out which actually a few phones have. It's not safe to eject mounted sdcard as it's data may be in use therefore the sdcard in data may get corrupted. It's hard to find custom rom which is using this back sensor to unmount sdcard as IMO everyone which actually knows something about Android already is aware of this...

I agree with people that XPlay is really durable, I drop it atleast twice a week... 5 times would be my record.

therefore I find this quote to be completely wrong:

I dont know why but I just drop it :(

thankfully my play is still in top shape and only backside damage is not caused by dropping.

Im kinda curious though... is it bad that my SD card almost never unmounts automaticly when I rip the back open... it used to do that but not anymore.
