Hi,

i had no android market on my Galaxy Player Wlan 4.0 , and i read somewhere you can use i9000 images on it.

I didnt want to flash another rom, just be able to install zip applications. But the 3e recovery image wouldnt let me.

So i installed the clockworkmod zimage for the i9000 according to this guide h**p://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide .

Yes, I was careless, i didnt do a backup of the recovery image before i used heimdall to flash the recovery image.

But now the player isnt booting anymore. I see Samsung on the screen for a short time, then it just shows some shredded letters and turns black (with the background lamp on).

But i can still boot into download mode. So i suppose i could flash the right image, if i would have it.

Just want to be very sure about the next steps, what would you guys suggest?

Iam in a bind here, brought on by my own carelessness, iam aware of that :(

Thanks in advance!!!!!

I was looking at the official specs for the SGS. I came across the standby time

750h :eek:

That's a month of standby. I don't think mine can even make a day.

Seriously was Eclair this good on battery and now with all these custom roms running gingerbread, it loves eating stuff, including the battery..?

Anyway what has been your highest standby time.

Oh and I have tried 3 different batteries. All new.

Hi,

I think Rom Manager is only for NAND,and specifically only for cLK.

Which sd ROM are you using?

:)

hi all.

I have an issue. on my sd card i have a 1gb ext4 partition. BUT in open recovery it says i have 512mb free after i just did a wipe. what's worse is that on the android system itself it tells me i only have just over 200mb of free rom despite over 120mb of that being the phone's internal memory.

Can anyone help?

Am i the only one that really would like the fascinate to get MIUI gingerbread? We already have a port and we also have CM7. It would just make my day if someone would port/upgrade the MIUI ROM that we currently have.
[Fascinate General] nitroglycerine33:
Once we get a fully working CM7, then I am sure someone will take a stab at it. Just be patient. If you are looking for some MIUI with great functionality I would definitely use TSM's MIUIWIZ. It is pretty sweet.
[Fascinate General] pikanate1:
but we won't have a fully working CM7 until we get a leak of gingerbread :/

Also couldn't we get gingerbread MIUI now? but mms and other stuff wouldn't be working

And i'm actually running MIUIwiz right now :)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phuzznut:
Hey everyone, I really need your help.

my 16GB microsd died last night, here's what happened:

I had gotten google music beta on wednesday, last night i was showing it to a friend, then clicked home. I have Watchdog installed, which told me music was taking up a lot of CPU, so i went in and killed it. instantly, android notified me that the sdcard had been ejected. then it popped up and told me that a blank card had been inserted. I was confused at first, but didn't do anything with the card, I took it out, reseated it with the phone off, started backup, same issue. I put the card into a card reader on my win7 pc, no luck, the card really is dead. It shows up with a drive letter, but notifies me that the card needs to be formatted.

Does anyone have experience recovering data from flash drives? I always backup my roms to the card, and apps using titanium, but I never ever thought of backing up the entire contents of the sdcard elsewhere. HELP!?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Use that on windows, it worked when my sd got messed up. This is assuming the files are still on the sd and not gone completely. You could try the repair option in windows if you have Vista/7, not sure about macs or linux.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phuzznut:
Thanks but right now windows is telling me that the drive is not accessible. recuva is also saying "the parameter is incorrect". I can't see anything on the card. I think i need some low level scan type stuff, but I have no idea what program goes that deep.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Sorry, don't know of any software like that. You may need to format if you can find no solutions. :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaibar:
I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago, but the last application that I used and caused the card's premature death was some FM radio app.

Since it is not recognized in any device whatsoever, I don't see any software that can help you even attempt to recover, fix or format the card.

But I learned a lesson: I always used to do backups once in a while, but when the card fubared I just learnt the hard way that I wish I had made backups more frequent...

Wipe and reflash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] skeeter86:
Man I had a feeling you would say that. I guess ill try it thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Mud knows his stuff. If that's what he says then I'd bet money on that's your only solution. Do the wipe yourself i wouldn't trust one of the .zip wipes. This way you'll know it wiped everything that's supposed to be wiped. That's my personal opinion though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Aslo I will add that rom manger has a bug where it doesn't always do a full wipe. So the best course of action is to go through cwm.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
Not even comparable... data takes up tons of battery
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
If it's constantly in a loop of trying, unsuccessfully, to connect to a wireless network, I could see it increasing obviously, but in a normal connected state, as the others say, no way as much as mobile.
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
alright awesome ill keep using wifi :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] Carlrobling:
Scott is right. If you don't have wifi connected it will constantly search for it causing battery drain. If you leave and don't plan on being on wifi I would shut it off so that your phone isn't constantly searching for a network. There are some battery settings in the wifi menu that can help with that though just not very much.

P.S. oops edited sorry Scott lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I'll take that as a complement. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
I disagree, every phone i have seen uses significantly more battery having wifi turned on, I definately notice it on mine, and im talking about being connected to a wifi the entire time. My battery life with wifi on has always been **** compared to it being turned off, Iphone's all of them including 4, droid x, vibrant, captivate, inspire all the same result with wifi enabled.

Do a expierment charge phone to 100% before going to bed, lets say 10 pm to 6 am check battery power lvl, next night enable wifi, I am absolutely certain that u will have a much larger drain.

as for does it drain more while in use than 3g or 4g is another issue, some say it uses less than mobile network to transfer data because a mobile tower can be a few miles away while the router is no more than 200 feet. I personally think wifi still uses more battery, however i do use wifi when available to keep my data usage down. if u disabled 3g altogether then maybe. but with both on u are powering another radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
If you're saying that having WiFi on uses more battery than having WiFi off, which is how I read the first part of your post, I'd have to say you absolutely correct. ;)

I think the question was whether WiFi used more battery than mobile data.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eviLutions:
Mobile data uses more battery because its constantly trying to look for a better connection. E/3G/4G/ETC...
[HTC Inspire 4G] jc2470:
according to alot of other post about this same issue say wifi uses more battery either way because your 3g /4g radio is still on when using wifi
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Both right

If you have WiFi always on, constantly polling for it, when not connected, you will use >battery. If you are connected to WiFi, and thus not polling all the time, <battery usage.

I use Llama to disable my WiFi when I am out not using GPS. It knows I leave home or work based on location as tringulated by the cell towers, thus GPS doesn't have to be on. Your phone is always polling for towers anyway, even with data shut off, so this does not use any battery to speak of. There are a lot of towers here in my basic hood, so Llama seems to identified that I leave home from 100-1000 meters, depending which direction I go.

You will use less battery if you shut off WiFi polling while you have no chance to connect to Wifi, that is for sure!

I use Llama to shut off and on all sorts of stuff based on location or a set of conditions. It is all logic based: If condition A exists, perform B toggle. Works great for me in an area with lots of towers so location at home vs. work vs. out is determined rather easily and accurately in my experience.

Edit: other conditions available include days of the week, time of day, headset or bluetooth enabled, etc.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Wifi definitively uses less battery than 3g from all the tests I've done and common experiences around the forum. Its not even close.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubbabri:
Can you change the wifi interval in the build.prop file to have it search after a longer delay? I know on mine it is set for 15 (seconds)?

Firstly I dont want to annoy anyone asking for help with tripnmiui but I'd love to get the latest K12 kernel working with his latest 1.5.5 Iris Froyo rom.

Have tried a lot of combonations with basebands and the k12 kernel but cannot get radio signal.

I remember Trip released a mod for the freexkernel when you got it running a few months back. But now the deepsleep issues are fixed id love to get it going again.

Hopefully someone here can help. Considering we have Froyo roms working theres no reason why trips froyo miui or any other froyo miui rom for that matter shouldnt either.

Hereby I attach a logcat output of what happens when I try to run Rainbow Six on my XPLay, version 2.3.3, and the subsequent force close. Perhaps it can be helpful: http://pastebin.com/02jK09Yr

Someone with Sacred Oddysey, another game which FC's on 2.3.3, could upload his/her paste as well and maybe there's some common element between them.
[Xperia Play Android Development] dsswoosh:
This isnt going to help you much, but i can say that i still use 2.3.2 and all games run fine.

If all else fails you could try a downgrade, if this is possible?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'll try downgrading, but it would be nice if you could upload the logcat of your working RB6 game to see where it crashes.

[Xperia Play Android Development] AndroHero:
heres the logcat for rainbow 6 working on my 2.3.2 firmware, im not getting much of an output though.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Looks like you pasted too late into the game's startup for that to be helpful.

The game appears to be checking for the firmware revision on the Xperia Play:

I/System.out(17851): firmwareeeeeeeeeeeeee : 0.145
D/AndroidRuntime(17851): Shutting down VM
W/dalvikvm(17851): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x2aac8560)
E/AndroidRuntime(17851): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime(17851): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftR6HP/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftR6HP.Game}: java.lang.NumberFormatException: unable to parse '0.145' as integer

It is expecting a whole number, an integer. 2.3.2 probably hands off "141" whereas 2.3.3 is handing off "0.145" instead of the expected "145". The game then chokes because 0.145 is not an integer but a floating point number. It's a very simple fix on Gameloft's end, honestly.

Here's the relevant part of Rainbow 6 starting up on my 2.3.2 Rogers Xperia Play:

I/ActivityManager( 194): Starting: Intent { cmp=com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftR6HP/.Game } from pid 1744
I/System.out( 1744): motionEventHasSource try-----:
I/System.out( 1744): firmwareeeeeeeeeeeeee : 181

As you see, it's a proper integer so the game runs properly.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I am having exactly the same issue with Sacred Oddysey. I've sent them a ticket about it with the logcat output, but they won't fix it before Monday.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zerojay:
Make sure you point them to my post above which should outline exactly what is wrong.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Deleted member 2488575:
This may seem strange but try starting up the game while having a wifi connection.

Gameloft games check the authenticity of the game every once in awhile and they need wifi for that.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] PaulGG:
Got my transformer today one of the amazon batch with dock in stock 31 may.

first impressions are very good. After booting up and going through the usual setup, it sync;d

all my android apps and installed them, most work without a glitch, within 5 minutes the tablet had auto downloaded then prompted me to install 3.1again without problem. After docking the keyboard later, the keyboard had a auto update installed. loaded dolphin HD has lag in stock browser on this site were so bad it was un usable. I have had android phones from their lauch and win mo HTC phones since 2004. I have been waiting for an android pad since the Ipad came out, I also have an ipad which has served its purpose has a couch media browser etc.

All i can say from the few hours playing with the transformer is that its a great concept and asus seem to have a firm grasp of the ball, I can see them giving my trusty friend HTC a good hiding in the tablet sector.

TV stream and Movie stream are working great, youtube HD is as smooth as the Ipad.

Touch wood no noticeable light bleed, speakers are loud and balanced. few minor nigglesmovie stream wont resume from recent apps list like my desire HD, causes a black screen, needs one tap on power the quick tap on back button to back out. but all in all more than i expected after the posts from owners of the first shipment.

just got to keep the wife of it now, could be a problem as the ipad doesnt have flash for her facebook games:rolleyes:

[Acer Iconia A500] BadGrim:
Hello all,

I bought my iconia tab last Tues. I am a big fan of android. But I have used an I pad since they were released. Now I'm not going to make comparisons, but I'm thinking I may have received a bad unit. Or maybeothers can verify my findings.

Battery life is horrible.

I barely get 4 hours of use before I need to go running for the charger.

Random shutdowns and reboot.

Unit will shutdown at random, even when I'm using it. And it reboot any time it loses a wifi source. Ex. I have a mobile hotspot. If I shut the hotspot off, the iconia will reboot when it loses the signal.

Screen on/off all day.

When I put the unit in standby, the screen turns on and off about evey 2 minutes.

Laggy keyboard.

Even as I type this, the keyboard is extremly laggy.

I am running this unit stock now, nothing extra has been installed.

I even did a factory reset and hard reset.

Ii have not received any updates, although I check all the time. I'm still on the 1.104. Build.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] iqbalbaskara:
from your description, yeah, you should probably return this unit...
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
just return my device is not that bad, battery last 1 day with normal use, never random shut down

the only thing i got troubled with is screen on/off , that is solved by pressing powerr button several times, very annoying actuallly
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
I've gotten 2 days of moderate use, I usually charge every night but unless I'm playing games for hours at a time I'm usually @ 40% before I plug in.

If the tab is rebooting on a frequent basis, particularly if you can do it on demand, definitely return it.

The screen random on should be fixed by the .141 update
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
I don't want to start anything but when i read "Should I return it?" and your posting it in this forum, then most likely the person posting it (if you found this forum) knows a little about it. But to read, it shuts off, battery life is terrible, etc..

I dont use it all day but i will use it with lowest brightness, 1 min timeout, and i dont use twitter or play movies, but get like 5-8 days on a charge.. NOW, one key thing, i turn the power OFF when done using it and does hold the battery much better (I never tried airplane mode)..

Never mind, got off on a rant from the thread...unrelated, there are some very cool news apps that are out now for HC.
[Acer Iconia A500] BadGrim:
Ok. Returned it for a fresh unit. Letting it get a full charge before I do anything with it.

Fyi. Previous unit only gave me 4 hours. Regardless if I was using it or it was sitting in standby.

Does anyone know of a way to get the 141 update without rooting?
