[Captivate General] xcrunner4623:
Left my Captivate in the car the other day for about three hours in the hot sun, not a good idea in hindsight. When I went back, the phone was running low on battery and couldn't charge due to being too hot.

When I got back to being able to charge it, it won't go back to full power. It will show full power on the battery icon, but as soon as I unplug the cord, it drops to 97 or 88 or something like that.

Is my battery done? Should I buy a new one?

I'm currently running Serendipity VII and never had this problem before.
[Captivate General] tupirujp:
How about recalibrating the battery
[Captivate General] xcrunner4623:
Would that just be running it out and then charging it up?
[Captivate General] boborone:
When in doubt always post in q&a.

Look at stickies and zelendel's first post in roms for FAQs.
[Captivate General] brettchuck:
I'd try to bump charge it and then if that still doesn't show a full charge...time for a new battery.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
that the two "Firmware superthreads" that opened up sometime today have both been closed by two different moderators for the same reason? There is another one/better one?

Just curious as I think it would be a good idea to have at least one of them monitored and stickied (I vote the original one as he is tracking an unknown SBF atm)

Also if the OP from either thread reads this maybe add the modems that are floating around as well as an RSD Link and maybe some mediafire mirrors as it allows downloading of multiple things at once for free users? Just some suggestions.

Hi, I need to get hold of a usb jig pretty urgently, ideally someone in the UK has one for sale or to borrow/rent, money isn't an issue. Will pay all postage and other costs but just need to reset the binary counter on my sgs2 asap. Anyone willing to help out?

Sorry if I've put this in the wrong thread!

why don't you look on ebay or make one yourself with the help from one of the many turorials available on youtube?
[Galaxy S II General] cobhc:
Having a Jig for just one use would be stupid unless you plan on never installing another custom rom through Odin ever again, as I'm fairly sure the counter gets reset each time you install a new rom.

[Defy Themes and Apps] farsight73:
On the warning screen.

1) Press lower left screen if you're on eclair 2.1

2) press volume up and down together if you're on froyo 2.2

Bootloader mode:

shut down phone. Press Volume up while starting the power button.

This is where you should go if you want to flash.

Hello,

My Desire HD's jack plug is not working properly (sound gets cut, today the "headphones connected icon" was going on and off every second even though no headphones were connected...) so I'm going to send it for repair.

I have ENG S-OFF which I did to flash radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and I previously I had Radio S-OFF with SimUnlock (I don't remember if I removed it before doing ENG S-OFF, but I definitely still have SimUnlock). I'm running Android Revolution 5.1.8.

What exactly do I need to remove to avoid any trouble before sending it down for repair?

Thanks a lot for your help!

My S2 is 16G version of Europe stock ROM XXKE2, recently Hong Kong stock ROM is out.

I believe HK S2 is 8G internal.

If I flash my Europe S2 with Hong Kong ROM ZSKF1, do I loss 8G storage ?

As recently I flash my wife Galaxy ACE Hong Kong version with Europe stock ROM 2.3.4, as Asia still do not have gingerbread ROM. It work just fine, of cause ACE has same internal storage, so no issues.

thanks

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
While looking through the Astro file manager app, I came across the "Show process" feature under the Told menu. The first process to my surprise was a Phone app. Opening the app, it allows you to add SIP accounts for IP calling. I don't have a SIP account, but maybe it's time to figure out if there is a generic Internet service. I know T-Mobile has wi-fi calling, but I don't think those servers are publicly available.

Still not sure if there is a dialer or if your dependent on the app... If lucky it could be associated with contacts.

Not sure if this is going to differ much from a Skype number... If direct dial through contacts is possible, that would be interesting.

Sorry if this has been covered. I've been away and this was an interesting revelation to me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WizardX:
Sounds interesting. I am still looking for a possibility to do phone calls with the device. Everything I tried using dialers or apk's from different devices failed. Is there actually a radio rom inside the flyer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
I didn't have the 3G version but is it not possible to receive and send SMS? Therefore you need also the phone api. And selfs if not so for I know handle this app also the data connections for a 3G connection.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Yes because we have also WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS,... but maybe it is possible one day to make calls. The Quesition is here if the Flyer have the hardware and not the software.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xsytrance:
This was definitely interesting. So far I've been able to get the device to make and receive phone calls using Sipgate as my SIP provider, Sipdroid as the SIP client, and Google Voice as a forwarder. So it's definitely possible to use the Flyer as a phone using third-party software.

When I try using the same setup with this native phone app, however, the Flyer just instantly gets a "missed" call" notification. There's also no way to make any outgoing calls yet using this native app as far as I know. Anybody else have any luck?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
I played with this for an hour or so with some public SIP gateways, but didn't have much luck. The contacts app doesn't seem to link directly with the phone app so a dialer app would still be required.

The best integration (with contacts) is GrooveIP which was suggested onthe forum earlier.

[Networking] AlmostTactful:
This is crap...just because Verizon picks up the iPhone I get my contract altered and no longer get a new phone every 12 months. Now I have to wait 20-24 months because of Apples sales policies. I don't give half a sh*t about an iPhone, I want my Droid and more so I want the damn Galaxy S2 because it's just plain fast and much faster than the iPhone that has screwed my contract. If people want an iPhone, fine...they can wait 2 years to upgrade, they shouldn't make everyone wait because some people want a specific phone.

This sh*t is lame.

Good night.

Luckily with Nils Business Ginger Sense my DINC is kicking some serious butt once again, but I still dream of that 4.3" screen and some dual core love with more RAM then I know what to do with lol.
[Networking] bigtoysrock:
What's funny about that is with att you get an upgrade every 12 months for an iphone only. Has to be the main line all other lines is 24. But there are ways and holes in the system.

If you have access to your old phone, here's what I did:

Pull all apps from /data/app(-private)

Clean out what you dont want anymore

Download Android Commander

Make sure USB Debugging is enabled

Go to the directory you pulled your apps to and check what you want installed
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I backed up all of my apps on my G2X using Titanium. Once I installed that SD card into my Sensation, all of my apps magically disappeared. I didn't think it would happen without Root but it did.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tabing:
I want to know that the total ram showed in settings=>applications=>manage applications=>running applications. My retail version showing 420mb free plus 173mb used ram total 593mb ram on the system instead of 1gb. Can someone plz check in their tabs either retail or io version plz. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mesasone:
I would guess a significant portion of your "missing" RAM is set aside for the GPU. The ended up being the case for the Galaxy S phones - 512mb RAM, but only 330 available for the OS and apps.

Still, 600mb is a pretty respectable amount for these devices.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] poisike:
My Xoom shows 120MB used and 379MB free. So the total amount shown seems normal. I would like to know why there is so little free memory on GT10.1 if it's a stock Honeycomb?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
It's currently 169 / 412 MB on my GT, so I guess about 400 MB is set aside for Graphic processing.

after reboot tab showing 169 used and 449 free. Running stock honeycomb 3.1 retail version tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smaskell:
I've got 148 used and 412 free
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] empathyvirus:
I second all of the above. Mine is usually around 600 MB or less in total. So I guess that's normal? It wouldn't have anything to do with the tab showing hiccups and lags after using it a little bit? Everything was very fast when I used it for the first day and then it started slowing down, especially when I run live wallpapers. Did any of you experience that? It breaks my heart to admit that iPad2 (even iPad) runs so much more smoothly than my Galaxy.

[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
The article said that (copied word for word) "the device would trigger the attention of infra-red sensors installed at the venue. These sensors would then instruct the iPhone to disable its camera."

So basically the people running the Venue would have complete control over the camera app of the iphone, if they had that infrared technology installed. It's ridiculous.
[EVO 4G General] jimisdad:
Just another patent that apple will never use. Screw crapple and jobs.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
I can't see Apple unilaterally doing this on the iPhone. It would drive consumers from the iPhone and towards Android. A more likely scenario is: the music industry pushes for legislation requiring all future recording devices include this technology. Apple owns the patent. Apple makes $$$.

That said, I still don't see this going anywhere. It's far too intrusive... and stupid. I mean, have you ever seen concerts that were filmed on small handheld devices? The look and sound like ass. The music industry isn't losing any revenues this way.

Also, cops could potentially use this technology to prevent people from filming them beating an unarmed suspect to pulp. So the ACLU would get involved, too.

[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
This would be a bad move for concert goers, especially those who just want to take pictures if themselves and their favorite stars.

The article says the patent is "seen" to be for this purpose, but could be for much more. There are many companies that do not allow camera phones into they businesses, and the right technology could help with this. I don't know if an infra red sensor would ease any fears tho.
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
Ah yes... I bet this is the more likely scenario. We are not allowed to take pictures at hte government agency where I work, but of course, with everyone's phone having a built-in camera these days, that policy is largely un-enforceable.

Still, I worry that adoiption of such technology could be used by the government to hide abuses of power (i.e. police brutality).
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I'm totally gonna get a device I can wear around my neck that emits that ir signal. that way nobody with an iDevice can film or take pics of me or anything near me.

[EVO 4G General] jimisdad:
I also like how Jobs is always running his mouth about how apple is the only company that invents things and all other phones are just apple copies yet apple was just ordered to pay nokia I believe $600 million plus a fee per phone they make for copyright infringement. Screw Jobs and crapple!
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Another observation I made is that if it is triggered to shut off the camera by infrared signals, what happens if you're recording a video at home and someone were to point the TV remote in your general area and changes the channel?
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
then apple will buy the rights to remote controls and sue the manufacturers, then release the remote control as its innovative method of turning off the pics and recording

[EVO 4G General] redbeard46:
who said that? we are talking professional events where it's announced that no recording or pictures are allowed. no one gives a **** if you want to record someone at a grade school event or something like that.

NO, but that doesnt make it right.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
They are referring to video equipment.

Obviously they do NOT want you recording in high quality and then reselling it.

We are not referring to that.

While you are correct about the rights of the artist to protect their content, they don't have a right to enforce it "however they wish". My phone is my personal property. I have a right to protect my personal property. The person who uses this technology is effectively breaking into my personal property then disabling a function of my property. It is sad that you have such a low regard for your own personal rights.

By using your logic, you feel its ok for the artist to enter your home, car or any other personal property and check for their content. Hey they are just doing what they wish to protect their rights. Give me your address and keys to your house so that I may give the RIAA and MPAA access to your property to enforce their rights "however they wish". I'm sure they won't be discrete.
