[General Questions and Answers] g.moggel:
Hi people,

i'm having a problem with the latest grooveshark app which seems to have a problem with the non-standard screen size of the wildfire. (jokerdroid 4.2, rooted).

it crashes whenever i change the orientation to portrait in the now playing view. on landscape it works. as i cant seem to find an older version to reinstall and want to use the newest features, i'm searching a way to fix the app's overall screen orientation to landscape.

My first guess was to modify the AndroidManifest.xml. But i cant seem to open it in windows and i dont really know how to edit it anyway. Maybe someone can have a look at the file and tell me where to add what?

Help is really much appreciated.

greetings,

mo
[General Questions and Answers] sirmx:
While I can't help you with any actual coding or editing, the best I can suggest is to send a screenshot (or take a picture of it crashing/crashed) and if you know how, send a logcat of it crashing as well, to the developer of the app.

You may also want to try running it on your stock ROM if you are able.

Good luck, and sorry I couldn't really be of more help. :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] g.moggel:
i tried it on the stock rom but still no luck. other users are having the same problem, see goo.gl/kd6bD .

i already sent that logfile to the devs. but it doesnt seem much like they would change something as i still dont have an answer after 1 week. Maybe they removed support for certain resolutions...?

i cant seem to find a way to manually locate the logfiles so i cant post them here...

thanx already for the tips.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulStyle:
As I need more space on my internal memory I'm messing around with app2sd and came across a couple of questions:

which a2sd script is preferred on cm7 2.3.4: darktremor or firerat?

which method is preferred: move apps or move dalvik cache?

I formatted my sd card with two primary partitions so far: 1st one is fat and second one (512 MB) is ext3 for a2sd. rather use ext3 or ext4?

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,

SoulStyle
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
I didn't install any A2SD scripts and I can move anything to the SD card.

(cm 7.0.3)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
1) I have been using Darktremor, and it works well.

2) Depends on your SD Card. If it is fast enough, you can move the dalvik as well. Personally, I move apps only.

3) Although EXT4 is supposed to be faster, on the Wildfire, the gains are probably negligible, if any,.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulStyle:
Thanks for the input :)

My first try with DTa2sd beta 04 went terribly wrong. After install some apps have simply gone missing and a a2sd remove didn't bring them back. The following a2sd reinstall gave my phone the final punch and left it unbootable and I had to pull the battery and do a complete reinstall. So I learned the hard way that nandroid and titanium backups do serve a purpose :p

Any idea what could have gone wrong?

Btw, is the a2sd option in cyanogen 7.1 settings compatible with DTa2sd?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Same thing with me as well.

I tried partitioning with rom manager and recovery. Tried different ext sizes (128 , 256, 1024) with 0 MB swap. Partitioning is OK. But after running the DTApps2sd script from recovery, the phone gets stuck on the splash screen. Don't know what's wrong. Still not solved.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Use an older version. (Atleast Beta 3, or the last stable version). Beta 4 causes issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theisborg:
Hi all

I have tried the romkitchen some time ago and all worked fine. Now I tried it again in order to upgrade to Gingerbread and it failed. Cooked the ROM, downloaded it and renamed it to update.zip, booted in recovery mode and installed it.

First thing I notice is that the keyboard does not work. The camera also just shows some very weird dots.

And the worst part is that when I now start up in recovery mode I cannot see anything! Well I can see a lot of coloured dots but am unable to see the menu.

How should I proceed? Can anyone tell me the menu structure of the recovery screen? That way I can hopefully install another ROM (yes I know I will have to guess the location of the update.zip file in the list, but I am getting quite desperate now)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theisborg:
Uh, oh...

Now I cannot even boot the phone.

Any suggestions of how to proceed would be greatly appreciated...

:-(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bork84:
i think your problem is you didnt upgraded to gingerbread stock

from the romkitchen web site:

WARNING! Before flashing a gingerbread ROM please make sure you have at least the JVH bootloaders. If you flash with ODIN, flashing a stock ROM (JVO, JV9, JV5) will get you the proper bootloaders.

you need to flash it with odin and then use the kitchen to flash a rom from the recovery...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theisborg:
Thanks - I will try to find Odin and flash from there...

q:o) Theis
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theisborg:
phew... Now I have a stock ROM :-)

Tried to install the ROM from romkitchen again but I get an error:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Does anyone know how to avoid this?

I think I have found it but am not allowed to post the link here since I am a new user.

I had similar results with a few of their other titles.. Sacred Odyssey, Dungeon Hunter 2, and Eternal Legacy. I would expect it to be a wide spread issue on the device.

I hope this isnt an issue with all Gameloft games.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
Most likely the games that are responsible.

Compatibility issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Since the Evo 3D is a new phone, it'll take a while for the devs to work out all the kinks on existing apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] hmotorsol:
same here. i am glad that i am not the only person that is having this issue. I have sent gameloft a support email letting them know that it was doing this hopefully i will get a response soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] treckin:
Bought it, same crash. Emailed support @ gameloft
[HTC EVO 3D] EliWay:
Except this isnt an "existing app". It's a game made specifically for the EVO 3D.

I bought it last night and it's also crashing. Emailed gameloft support right away and still haven't got a response.

Hi,

after flash ROM XMAREX BOLOGNA HYPER CM7 v. 2 the Leo battery does not charge for too much heat.:mad:

Too much heat of the battery reported by add-on SuperBox.

I have tried with 29 tasks, with all possible wipe but without results.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[HD2 General] p107r0:
if faulty mainboard is not the case (main reason of overheating issues, though mostly resulting in freezes or reset loops), then I'd suggest if the battery pins are not bent (the second main reason of overheating)

PS> as it seems you're on android, try to calibrate the battery as well, probably useless but you never know
[Venue Pro General] hpsauce37:
Had my dvp for a couple of days now and still undecided if to keep it or go back to my iPhone.

Apart from a few 'set up ' issues that have been down to user error...not the phones fault...i am finding it quite good.

One thing however that really annoys me is the screen and how it gets finger prints and smudges so much. I had a choice of all the windows phones as I bought the handset SIM free. I went for the dvp because of its outstanding build quality and amoled screen.

Anyway I can sort this out, screen protector or is there allready one on there that I need to remove. The screen just seems really greasy:(
[Venue Pro General] hpsauce37:
Considering it has gorilla glass like my iPhone and sgs2 it really suffers
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
The smudges and FP's are a pain only on bright sunlight. If you keep the brightness to medium, it should work fine.
[Venue Pro General] hpsauce37:
The back and sides of the phone seem fine, its almost like there is a cheap film over the top or something
[Venue Pro General] hpsauce37:
Maybe it has just got greasy at some point and normall rubbing with a cloth won't get it off ...maybe its some type of deterget to wipe it clean.....i remember that when I first got it the screen allmoat felt 'abrasive' and now it just seems really smooth
[Venue Pro General] ducttape36:
get a microfiber cleaning cloth. that has cleaned my screen to the point that it's actually hard to swipe your finger around (no oil on the screen to facilitate in its slickness.) but you'll have to clean it again every week or so. your skin has grease and it comes off on everything you touch. there is no way around that. the only other option is to find a matte finish screen protector. that would get rid of the problem, but might effect how crisp the screen looks.
[Venue Pro General] tobyman2:
my own screen problem, i may need to start a new thread!!

Well i have had my dell venue pro for almost the month and all i going well except that the screen has turned a greeny/red tint. Im sure all of you know that the screen is made of LEDs, red, green, and blue. i believe that the blue one has disappeared, my guess is that there is loose cable connection, although i havent dropped my phone before. i have added a couple of picture of the screen, it is a lot worse in reality.

any help would be much appreciated

I have been on the internet for hours to gain info on how to fix it, dell nor the retailer i got it from have replied to my emails.
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Indeed. I do the same - cleans perfectly :)

Wonder if the problem is the sunshine. DVP screen is not very easy to read outdoors in bright sunlight and the smudges are more visible. Screen brightness seems less than some other phones. When it's cloudy or indoors, I often don't notice the smudges.
[Venue Pro General] magicsquid:
Sounds like you might need to use your warranty and get Dell to send you a replacement handset.

Hi all

I am looking at selling my Desire having got a Galaxy SII now.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beston94:
from experience

Here's what you do:

OPTION A:

Turn on airplane mode and turn it off and see if mobile network works?

OPTION B:

Turn on wifi and turn off mobile data and then turn off wifi and then after you turned off wifi you can turn on mobile data and it should work.

If I helped you please press the thanks button.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] msr1986:
still no data

Thanks for reply. Turning on and off airplane mode didn't help. When turning on mobile networks it stuck to turning on but nothing happens. Is there any setup should be done?. I was able to use data connection in hyberdroid cm7 without any setup.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dkl_uk:
This appears more to be around APN settings.

Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

Make sure what is selected is your provider. Also, Google for your provider's specific APN settings and ensure they are all the same.

Edit: Also ensure "Data Enabled" is ticked on the Mobile Networks screen.

Hello.

I have "HD2O© v1.14 WP7 BUILD 7.0.7392.0 NODO COPY&PASTE" ROM and my Nokia bluetooth headset doesn't work. Same in similar ROM's. It is working with others OS but not with this. What problem can be?
[HTC Incredible S] sabret00the:
Has anyone tried it? Seen any talk of it?
[HTC Incredible S] madbw:
Never heared about porting meego to INC s, anyway it would be interesting to see this OS. But i dont think we`ll ever see this on our device
[HTC Incredible S] sabret00the:
I'm actually starting to really look forward to MeeGo, it's more open than Android and if it can the type of support CyanogenMod has, it could be huge. I have a feeling it will be ported to an Android device soon and ideally I'd like that to be ours.
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
I doubt MeeGo will really take off, even if it's a good platform. It doesn't have much weight behind it to get its name out there.
[HTC Incredible S] doctorsax:
Lo and behold, this article showed up this morning:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/25/nokias-stephen-elop-is-still-over-meego-even-if-the-n9-is-a-hi/

Looks an awful lot like Nokia are going to let MeeGo die a quiet death.
[HTC Incredible S] sabret00the:
Let's not forget that MeeGo still has Intel and LG firmly behind it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dracoaffectus:
Before I left the house to go to work, my 10.1 Tab (Google I/O Limited Edition, rooted with 3.1) was at around 80%. I get home 9 hours later and the battery is completely drained. I plugged it in to the charger and turned it back on to see the battery at 1%. That just doesn't seem right to me. I can usually go about 2 days without putting it on the charger.

I've attached an image of the Battery Use graph, you can see it just drops like a cliff for no apparent reason. Has this happened to anybody else? Also, I just noticed that the time it was off (approximately 9 hours) is missing from the graph, so it only shows just under 5 hours.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] newyork03:
I had the same issue last night. It had ~40% battery left when I went to sleep last night and this morning it wouldn't turn on, so I plugged in the charger and found the battery drained completely.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dracoaffectus:
Interesting that it happened for you the same night. For me, it seemed to have happened around 5-6pm Pacific time on June 23. I don't know the exact time because I didn't have it with me at the time.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] semilla:
Happened the same to me a couple of weeks ago.

Battery was at 40% and overnight went to 0% and the tablet turned off.

Very weird
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsEVOlve:
Came home to find mine with the screen on but completely black so you could BARELY tell it was on. Had to reboot as it wouldn't respond. When it did I only had 20% charge. I had unplugged it about 5 hrs earlier and left it with about 95% charge. Only happened once though so I haven't worried too much, maybe a similar issue though
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jvanbrecht:
If I had to hazard a guess.. it would probably have been a runaway process in the background somewhere that totally drained the battery. If it was the battery itself losing a charge like that, I would be worried.... When batteries discharge like that for no reason, they can actually explode... (it is rare, but possible..not trying to cause a panic).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dracoaffectus:
Wouldn't a runaway process drain the battery slowly over time? This seems to have happened instantly.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] baggenismo:
I really hope i dont find mine doing this... If I watched a laptop do it I would say the battery was shot. Now that its been charged does it hold a charge just as good as it was prior?

Im jealous you got the google I/O tab, was trying to get one on ebay but to hell with spending all that money for an army of androids you wil never see in a case. I heard they were giving them away for free @ the conference...

i originally thought it happened twice on me . now i got to. say the first time my gps is on ,second time , the 10.1 looks no response /dead , but press power burton longer, it will be back in desktop without boot,kind of like hibernation on pc ......maybe after a quite long time no activity, 10.1 manage to hibernate itself .....just guessing

On my third 10.1 and this one is perfect, but the battery life. I unplugged it from 100% about 5 minutes ago and it is down to 96%. That isn't much, but it seems kinda quick.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dazz87:
thats bad. Sounds like a rogue app thats still running in the background. My 10.1 had amazing battery life in standby mode. 100% and 8 hrs later it only drop down to 97%. This is with wifi still on when it went into sleep mode.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
That sounds to me like the battery meter is just poorly calibrated. They have to calculate how much battery is left (it's not just a simple voltage measurement, as Li-Ion batteries don't have a linear voltage drop... they hold the voltage reasonably flat for a while, then drop off more rapidly towards the end. The battery meters on many devices adjust themselves as you use them. That sounds to me like it thought you had 30% left, when the battery was very close to it's built-in low voltage self protection cut-off. It should have used that as a data-point to self-correct the battery meter.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] doug2311:
I think I may have found a possible solution as to why this sudden battery drain has been happening to me: I just pulled my Tab out of its soft case and saw it with the screen fully on and in Recovery Mode (plain text screen with "Entering upload mode .. Upload_Cause: undefined"). Since I believe getting into that mode requires pressing power and volume at the same time, I'm thinking that the buttons are getting pressed while I have it in my backpack, it's going into recovery mode, that drains out the battery quickly, and when I pull it out of my bag later, the battery is dead.

Anyway, not a definitive cause, but a possibility.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
my 10.1 just did it last night - 73% to 0% in under a minute. it's not a rogue app as no app can drain the tablet that fast with 100% cpu and full brightness.

what ever samsung did to the 7" tab is also incorrectly implemented on the 10.1" too.

v

last night, too.

do you know a good taskkiller fpr honeycomb? i know, people say that taskkillers are not necessary for android. but if it is like some users stated that e.g. google maps drains battery fast while running in the background, wouldn't it be a good idea to kill these tasks to save battery?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] comkraft:
If u use auto brightnesss in the setting it will help save battery power.
