[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcm2a:
The logo on the screen "Read Forever" should say "Bootup Forever".

I followed the steps over on http://nookdevs.com/NookTouch_Rooting. The last steps I performed were coping over the uRamdisk, unmounting everything, removing the SD card and rebooting the Nook.

I hold down the power button for about 10 seconds, the screen flashes and I get the Read Forever startup screen. After 10 minutes that is still where I am at.

What are my next steps? I made a backup of the uRamdisk file so I can try booting with the SD card in and putting the old file back? I also did the full dd backup.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pcm2a:
I put the sd card back in, rebooted, went to the boot partition and copied the uRamdisk over a second time. This time it has worked.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eunrox:
hiho,

i recently recived a Inspire 4G from the USA, the problem is that in my country (Germany) the UMTS frequency is on 2100Mhz.

Is it possible to change the frequency?

Thansk for your help!

Eun
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
the Inspire from USA does not have the 2100 frequency for europe. you need the desire HD to use in germany and europe. i'm afraid there is nothing you can do, you purchased the wrong phone!

I have a Desire HD with a smashed screen and casing but it does power on.. can i exchange exchange all the inspire 4g parts with the Desire HD parts and get a fully working phone???

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qbking77:
Are they contacts synced with google or facebook?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Those are facebook or twitter or something...unsync those and assuming all the rest are on google and not your phone you will be able to delete all contacts and sync your Google. This will remove all read only contacts. If you just don't want them listed I believe you can hide them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabisco_12:
i am pretty sure i have fb un synced, but i do have the google contacts, i still c some numbers from my fb when i do a search, i would like 2 get them out also, however they dont show up in my contacts if this makes sense

Hey, I just installed this new rom via rom manager (1400mhz overclock, woot!)

and I can't install shortcuts or widgets on any screen. And when I do it through the menu button, I can't get rid of them. I can't drag it to trash, can't edit via longpress and can't even stop via manage apps (force stop, clear data still leave widget on homepage.)

Any thoughts?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfrankcom:
Hey guys, First post long time reader. I am using my Atrix on Bell and was wondering if there's an easy way to swith between the iphone and Atrix. I used to swap sim cards with my blackberry, No bis but still worked. Could I just get a micro sim and an adapter and use the micro sim in my Atrix? Also am I able to operate on the same plan?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Yes the adapter should work fine. A friend of mine did that with his iPhone 4 and his nexus one.

yes it'll work. im doing that now. plan will switch from iphone data plan to smartphone data plan. no biggy.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfrankcom:
Ok perfect thanks alot guys. I know this shouldn't be in this forum but another question. Im pretty sure the iphone is locked to virgin on ios 4.3.3 with baseband 04.10.01 which is not unlockable at the moment from my understanding. But under Settings > General > About > Carrier it says "Bell 10.0". Will it work on bell since virgin is owned by bell in canada?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Should do, I know here in Australia TPG Mobile - a company that runs off Optus reception towers - requires you to have an unlocked or optus locked handset.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaydar:
Just so you know I'm doing it without an adaptator.

The Micro-SIM is held in place in the ATRIX SIM SLOT.

[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
Hi,

Today I was using GPS app - HTC Locations. In about 45 minutes battery went down from 100% to 50% (I noticed that using satellite GPS makes the phone very hot) and I decided to connect a charger that I have bought recently - HTC CC-C200 car charger.

The problem was... the battery was still being discharged!

I turned off the nav app and left only basic system apps and the phone was charging only about 5 percent in 30 minutes. Keeping in mind how fast the phone was discharging using navigation, it is simple that the car charger won't do.

Anybody else has this problem? How can I actually use a navigation??
[HTC Sensation] Scoop24:
is it the official car charger from t-mobile.
[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
It is original HTC's car charger - CC-C200

One question - can an USB extension cord (plug in to this original HTC's charger and then original HTC USB cable to this cord) decrease the speed of charging?
[HTC Sensation] hah2110:
Car chargers will always charge slower. 12v vs. 110v.
[HTC Sensation] CaracasBG:
Are u sure that the 110V network adapter, charge the phone with 110 volts ?

The 110V charger:

HTC New Slim Design AC Adapter TC E250 (with EU Plug Unit + micro USB Cable, 5V/1A

and the car charger:

HTC Generic Car Charger with USB/micUSB Cable CC C200 (1A/5V)

have SAME charge power: 1A at 5Vm that is 5W.

The PC USB ports are rated at 500mA, but if u check the port with digital multimeter (cut the cable and put Ampere-meter) u can see that u can drain ~700-800mA , Asus and SuperMicro Motherboard tested from me :)

@EniHS if u make the lenght of the cable bigger the electrical resistance grow too . I think that 1 meter more wont be such a problem, but if u really wanna check how this will change the power of charge u need to measure it with Ampere-meter :)
[HTC Sensation] jdmarko:
This is an easy one... I try to never get the charger from the store because it (usually) won't put out enough juice to keep up.

I found that if use the same current for charging my ipad, it works much better and can keep up. With that in mind, you can purchase any charger with a 2 Amp output (10 watts) that has a generic USB connector. Try the search "10 watt usb car charger" on Google or Amazon.

Get the free app "juice plotter," which will plot your battery usage and charge. If you're plugged in and the plot is still going down, then the drain is still greater than the charge, and you'll need a better charger. Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
That would be a solution. I'll buy 2A 5V charger. I assume that I should only replace the plug and the USB cable can be left from original HTC car charger?

Isn't it dangerous for the phone to charge by 2A instead of 1A (original charger)? Or the only difference is the charging speed?
[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
Solved!

I did some tests today and discovered that if I charge the phone normally (no program running, GPS off) with HTC car charger WITH extension USB cable... phone was charging 1% in 25 minutes!!! That would be over 40 hours to charge the device from zero to full! I thought I had charger broken, but... I tried with NO EXTENSION CABLE, just the HTC plug and HTC cable, then the phone was charging normally 1% in 2 minutes!

So... the problem are extension cables, but still don't know why...
[HTC Sensation] Beast84:
I noticed this even with wall chargers. Yesterday when I bought my phone, I plugged it in to my old charger & noticed it was charging slow. Once I switched to the charger that came with my Sensation, it charges normally now. I haven't looked at the chargers to compare if something is different but it is very strange
[HTC Sensation] eXceed:
Isn't strange at all, it's essentially that they are not being supplied a great enough charge and so power from the battery is utilised in addition. ideally you want above 700mAh for standard charging/use.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
On top of my issue with swype I now have another issue & a question.

I used HTC Sync to sync my Outlook contacts to my phone. It seems that my phone has duplicated a bunch of them since then. I started out with 117 contacts & it's now at 285. The phone will just pop up with new contact link suggestions out of nowhere & it'll have 1-5 copies of the same contact trying to link together. It did this even after a hard reset. Any ideas on what is causing this & how to stop it?

Solution: seems to be an issue with HTC Sync & contacts with Notes. See second post for MyPhoneExplorer for better sync.

Also, in my calendar app I've set it to not have a default reminder, yet it automatically puts it at 10 minutes no matter what. WTF?

Lastly, is there an app that'll toggle the Auto-brightness for the phone? I now there are widgets that'll change the intensity, but I'm looking for one that'll toggle just the auto-brightness on/off. Comes in handy when I'm at home or at night & don't want a bright screen.

Solution: Found a fix for the auto-brightness through reddit! Use Brightness Widget

thanks for any/all help
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Did some more research & found out that HTC Sync doesn't play well with contacts that have notes attached to them. Switched over to MyPhoneExplorer & it's much better: wifi syncing!

Market:

http://market.android.com/details?id=com.fjsoft.myphoneexplorer.client

Developers site for PC client:

http://www.fjsoft.at/en/

Still can't figure out Calendar or Swype issue though
[HTC Sensation] hah2110:
Regarding your reminder question, that is the default reminder if no reminder is set or for a new event. There are still reminders server-side.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
thanks for the info. Guess I'll just have to remember to always deselect that since I don't like reminders.
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
my contacts are being duplicated also. When I open a new sms and type the first letter of the name I want to txt that name is listed multiple times
[HTC Sensation] hah2110:
Are they people that you have called? Under SMS settings there is an option to show entries from the call history. I consider it a bug that it shows a contact entry that you have called while it fetches from contacts and call history.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
those were annoying so I disabled call & sent history & just have email addresses show up.
[HTC Sensation] Five0nIt:
Yea I tried that, same thing.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
It split up 6 or 7 contacts by breaking off one email address then askedme to link them.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
when I did it through HTC Sync it duplicated everything, some more than others
[HTC Sensation] abowmedia:
Ya know I had a huge issue with that when I picked up the myTouch 4g. I ended up returning the thing, but the duplicate contacts almost made me throw it at the wall. I was getting 3 - 5 instances. I know the myTouch has tmobile flavor of sense, but it's probably the same issue. I recall being able to fix it by merging all the contacts, but even after doing that I still had to do some manual adjustments. Very frustrating.

I won't have the Sensation in my hands until next week thanks to the retards the T-Mobile store messing up my g2x return, but i'll post on this thread when I get it if this issue occurs for me.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
just save yourself the hassle & sync with the MyPhoneExplorer app. with the HTC Sync I'd have duplicate contacts within an hour. It's been about 8-10 now with MPE & no issues.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I had problem with hundreds of duplicate groups and contacts outside of Android and used this to fix it http://scrappydog.com/GoogleGroupCleanup/publish.htm

Maybe it can help someone else
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Hello people, I thought I would inform you all of a much better and effective method to deal with your phone freezing. Many of us are using custom kernels such as nemesis2all's OTB or imnuts peanut butter jelly time in which have a tendency to freeze our phones due to the overclocking/undervolting. Or, we are on JT's new CM7 mtd or Andmer's GB MIUI and our screens will turn off and nothing that we do will turn them back on. The natural reaction to this occurrence is to take the back off the phone and pull the battery out. But, this is not good for it to be abruptly pulled in the midst of supplying power to your phone. Not to mention the severe battery drain that comes along with doing this, as I'm sure many of you have already noticed to be the case. No matter what rom/kernel you are on and no matter how frozen your phone is, if you simply hold both the volume up and volume down buttons and the power button at the same time for about 10 seconds, your phone will do a hard reboot. Problem solved without doing harm or damage to your phone and without excessive battery drain. This method even works for CM7 MTD/GB MIUI MTD. This is not the same thing as the three finger method that you are warned not to do with these roms. This method will lead to overall better battery life and phone life. Not to mention, a lot less frustration. :)
[Fascinate General] elarson006:
I think just vol UP + power works, but either way.. it's a useful trick to know!
[Fascinate General] beenz:
And especially helpful if you have a case on
[Fascinate General] TtWEAK:
Good to know. I broke my case by taking it off and on so many times. It's still useable but this will prevent further damage, and save me some time.
[Fascinate General] landshark68:
+1. This is what I use. Just had to do it this morning as a matter of fact.
[Fascinate General] bhfd64:
Indeed. I never do battery pulls personally.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
verizon techs have had me do battery pulls a couple different times lol.
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
Yea, but not while the phone is on and in a frozen state with a steady stream of battery power being supplied to it, I assume. That is very different.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Power on but not frozen... but I agree its not good to pull battery in frozen state... volume up and power button is what I do in that situation. My SF has only froze two times and that was from overclocking... not very stable over 1200 on the stock rom. Srry hope my last post did not offend, I meant as verizon was dumb for having me pull the battery with power on!
[Fascinate General] kidserious:
No, post was not offensive nor was it was taken that way. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression. :)
[Fascinate General] Dread This Day:
It's what I use as well, power+both volume buttons does nothing for me, I think technically power+volume up is a soft reboot, but, it works.
[Fascinate General] quarky42:
I will use this next time... My phone froze up this morning. I thought I was going to have to pull the battery and just as I was tapping the battery out of the phone I saw the bootlogo. When I put the battery back in my /data was gone. Phone would boot, but there was no data partition. It was toast.

Had to Odin back to stock and start all over. My last Titanium Backup is from more than a month ago. I have a Super Manager backup from ~ a week ago. Will give it a shot.

Like I said, I know this is old news, it was released mid-January this year. However, I'm interested in knowing if anyone has seen rumors of this component making any appearances in upcoming phones/tablets/any consumer electronics. Personally, I'm hoping it shows up on the Nexus 3 (or whatever they choose to call it) and I'm hoping Apple ditches GG and puts this on the iPhone 5/4s (or whatever they choose to call it, lol). I use Nexus phones and iPhone off and on depending on what I'm feeling each day.

So! Any news? Any rumors?

(Side note, this is not a thread for debate on whether the iPhone uses GG. I know for a fact it does; I had an internship at Corning.)

Nice guide, a few remarks:

root in unix terminology is the same as administrator in window, so rooting a phone means you are getting administrative powers, also rooting your phone voids warranty

Don't forget the /efs directory, if it gets messed up (and sometimes it does) you will loose your phone and data connection permanently and you end up with an expensive Galaxy S mediaplayer.
