[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sharkfinrazor:
I'm sure i made it clear that I prefer a WP7 phone over a WM6, not WP7 over android. I know how android works and that they are an open source, that is not new news. I'm just saying that the tp2 with wimo6 is a joke of a full time business phone. I'm not a full coding developer so I'm not interested in tricking the tp2 that it can perform something when it really can't - or it can't do whatever it's suppose to do well.

Open source is good, but sometimes it sucks that u can come across terrible, buggy apps. Sure they are free and can be fixed but that's where it fails for the consumer. These buggy apps could potentially destroy your phone. And this is the biggest flaw that winmo6 has to offer. it makes sense to just get rid of the whole entire os altogether; the most important fact of what a consumer needs in a phone is one that WORKS as a phone, NOT a developing tool.

I'm sure Microsoft understood this, which is why they are not open source. That's like if nintendo had anyone building their games without any consent from nintendo in doing so. We'd get a lot of crappy buggy games. Plus Microsoft isn't a small company. Having xbox integrated with wm7 plus buying out Skype and working together with nokia for some of their phones is a huge thing for

WP7 - so saying that they will die sometime soon is by far from happening.

Don't think that WP7 will die due to the lack of open source. The most that anyone needs on a phone is to make calls, txt/email msgs, make notes, watch movies, play music and or internet browsing - do we really need many developers to make something that's already integrated on the phone? Plus they have ms office - as a full business worker that's a big plus.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrono88:
Hello everyone,

Pardon me if someone has the same problem like mine, and solutions have been found. My hd2 doesn't go into bootloader screen with pressing volume down key, but instead it loads magdlr 1.12 then DFT team's Android 2.2. The problem is my hd2 gets hot after a short usage, and then froze (or sometimes restart automatically). It happens more frequently now as I have this problem for some time now.

I have had good times using Android and WP7 with this phone, but for now, it's barely usable with overheating problem (I believe). If someone could point me a way to get back to original factory WM 6.5, I would really appreciate it.. Thank you ahead..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
does your volume down key work ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ubejd:
if you can get into bootloader just write a stock rom... if that fails at 8 % or 9% just put you phone in freezer ( without battery) for 5 - 10 min and start flashing

best regards from me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrono88:
thanks for your response and suggestions..

Yes my volume down key work in Android... cooling the phone down would solve the problem but this isn't practical with very sensitive overheating :'(

Hi Friends.

I am facing problem in enabling CRT animation(Screen off Animation) in GINGERBREAD.

Made modifications to bools.xml in framework-res.apk.

But its not showing any animations.

Suddenly wen i changed my density from 120 to 96 its started working.

It started to show the animation. Again if i change it back to 120 it stopped.

Plz help me with this on enabling it on 120 density.

I dont want to keep my density 96 coz all icons wil become too small.

I added # before debug.sf.hw=1.

Means I made it look like this.

#debug.sf.hw=1

Thats all. It solved My prob.

Hi,

I use a web radio application that does not use a tray icon, which means that androids built in RAM manager will close it if there's little RAM availible.

How can I prevent this? I don't care if the phone becomes choppy. I want to be able to listen to radio and browse the web at the same time.

Ideally I want to exclude this one particular app from any RAM management.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante of the Inferno:
I recently recently backed up my phone (on midNIGHT ROM 5.3 EXT4 - Froyo EC05) using CWM 3.0.2.5. Then, I reformatted my phone to RFS to try out an Gingerbread EE05 ROM. Then, I Odin'd back to stock EC05 (RFS), reinstalling CWM with the One-Click method, and restoring my backup image. CWM keeps telling me that my boot images (even an image made previously) were having problems restoring after checking the MD5 Checksums.

I dig some digging and found an How-To for extracting the backup image:

[How-To] Extracting/Accessing Recovery/Nandroid backup (.img) files

Now for the questions:

1. I know that the backup images are somewhere on the SD card. Does anyone know the specific location?

2. Does anyone know of a way to repack the information (data.img / cache.img / system.img) into a proper backup image for restoration?

3. Does anyone know how to modify the backup image so that the MD5 checksums are proper once again?

The backups are under clockworkmod and then click backups. That is where your backups are stored

"The greatest respect you can earn is self respect" Louie Simmons
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante of the Inferno:
After checking in the backup sub-folders of clockworkmod, I see that the cache.img, data.img, and system.img are already separated. However, I also see a .android_secure.img file. What is that supposed to be used for?

Also, is there any way to change the accompanying nandroid.md5 file to properly restore with CWM? Is there any way to verify that it works aside from pure iteration in CWM?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
if its failing the md5 check you dont need to mess with any of that its a simple fix

in a shell goto the disrectory of the backup

then after you run that you will be able to restore it in cwm

ohh and .android_secure is the apps stored on your sdcard
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante of the Inferno:
Windows Command Prompt doesn't recognize md5sum as a command. Do I need a program in that same directory for working on the md5 file?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
in a shell on your phone...

from a windows shell c:\whatever\>

adb shell

then from the shell on your phone $

cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/whateverbackup/
md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante of the Inferno:
I downloaded a shell terminal onto the phone, navigated to the backup, and input the code. It paused for a minute, but seemed to do its thing. I shut down the phone, went into CWM, cleared the data, cache, and Dalvik, and hit the restore option for the proper backup. This is what follows.

Checking MD5 sums...

Erasing boot before restore...

Restoring boot image...

Error while flashing boot image!

Any other ideas? If worst comes to worst, the only thing worth saving would be the apps themselves. So should I focus on extracting the apps out of the .android_secure image?

I could help you better if you typed this in English, but since this is the best I got I will give it a chance. Have you got it wet. It may be water damage.Try rebooting your device. If that doesn't work blow out the headphone hole to clear dust. If that doesn't fix it its a hardware issue and you will have to take it back to AT&T and get a new one.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM: Upon booting my phone, all videos run fine (mp4, flv, youtube, facebook, etc.). However, after several hours and upon going to play a video, it either doesn't load on site or, when opened in video player, moboplayer, mplayer, vplayer, etc, i get the "sorry this video cannot be played" message. Upon rebooting, my videos work again... for a time

Hi all

My phone was fully submerged in water for a few mins a couple of days ago, I immediately took the battery out and left it to dry for the day.

Eventually the phone worked again, except for the home button.

The strange thing is, the home button works to get into recovery/download mode but will not work once booted up, anyone got any ideas?

I have not tried flashing or factory reset yet.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gcogger:
Remove battery and cards. Leave the phone somewhere warm and dry for several days - preferable a week. One day may not be enough to dry out the phone completely (obviously it depends on just how wet it got).

You need to go to the service. They will disassemble the phone and make a good cleaning.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamidsani:
Hello guys, I'm not a super noob but I can certainly use some advise and suggestions. I was trying to be all smart and try to put CM7 on my phone by rooting the nexus S without having to unlock the bootloader. I've read around and realized that I could do so if my phone is on 2.3.2 or 2.3.1.

So I search around and the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=947950

suggested using Odin to downgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.1. After doing the steps I realized that it also unlocked my bootloader. Now does anyone know if there is a way to relock my bootloader if I used the Odin?

I've done some reading and as far as I can tell you can relock your phone using the "fastboot oem relock". but this method only works if you originally used the "fastboot oem unlock" in the first place.

Any suggests?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
The command is actually "fastbook oem lock" and I would think it would work now matter how the bootloader was unlocked. You should at least try it. You just have to make sure you have Android SDK installed and your device drivers installed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
fastboot oem unlock to unlock and wipe your phone, flash cwm recovery, flash cm7.

turn off phone, turn it back on to bootloader and do fastboot oem lock.

Done.

Other than removing the unlock icon from showing what is/are the added benefit(s) of relocking the phone? I am just curious as I unlocked my Nexus S by ADB using the fastboot oem unlock command. Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ben753:
RXP, I had the same issue and looked around a bit. It seems the Samsung calendar app simply doesn't have this functionality. Jorte, mentioned in the post above mine, works well. I have also tried Calengoo and Business Calendar and both work well. I am hoping that eventually someone will work out how to mod the Samsung app itself though, since none of the replacement apps match the Samsung ones for appearance, even when colours are tweaked.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] RXP:
Damn, that's incredibly frustrating. Might have to import an apk from my Desire!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ben753:
RXP, did you have any success getting an alternative app working? I am still not happy with the alternatives I have tried so keen to find out what other people are using. The ideal solution would still be a tweak to the Samsung app so it fits in with the rest of the phone, but I must admit I wouldn't know where to start.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ben753:
Alternatively, does anyone know how to get the standard google calendar app working on the S2? Searching turns up instructions for the Galaxy S but not the S2.

Thanks to anyone who is able to help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Ben753:
Partial solution

I have been trying to find a solution for this and found a couple of things. It seems a lot of alternative calendar apps use the system calendar app for their event view, which means that with the samsung calendar in place you cannot get clickable links even with something like Calendar Pad installed.

I was able to get the cyanogen mod calendar apk working (looks like it is pretty much stock gingerbread) after backing up and uninstalling the touchwiz calendar with titanium backup. There is a graphical glitch on some views where a circle appears in the top left corner but other than that it seems to work well. it also allows alternative apps like calendar pad to load the standard android event view which has clickable links.

Unfortunately I can still not get this to work in the samsung app to keep a consistent look to the apps but thought I would post in case this helped anyone.
