There are few ROMs (and kernels) that I have flashed that cause gps to "die". The fix for me every time is to re-flash the radio only.

Keep a copy of the radio image (in pdimg98.zip form) on your SD card (but not at the root), so you can quickly recover any time this happens.

I am stuck on these questions I can't find reasonable answers:

Considering I have Reflex S v2.1.5 rom working fine, I want to install data2whatever. I have already 1GB ext3.

1. Should I factory reset, full wipe, reflash the ROM and then D2WE, then reboot. This way I will loose all my apps and settings. What will happend to my paid apps?

2. If I full wipe and reset - what will happen to my RomManager backups already on the SD card?

3. What is the procedure if I have D2WE installed and working and want to update the ROM version. Generally is there a way to update ROM, keep all apps and settings and having Data2Whatever running with no problems :confused:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pershoot:
unlock symbol means, your bootloader is not sbk locked. you dont have fastboot capability on the retail. you get nvflash.

power + vol up , hold till you get past the battery icon, when it turns black, you are in APX mode.

I have a 10.1 Retail 32 GB and I see the unlock symbol when it boots. However, after reading the post I linked to above, I checked mine and I see the Android jumping out of a box on the left and the Android downloading on the right. I am assuming these correlate to Recovery and Update which would mean I'm locked.

So which is it? I just wanted to know since I am contemplating rooting this thing.

[Trophy General] svenivancr:
Hi guys,

This is probably a simple problem for you to solve. My daughter lives 7950 km away and she got the HTC Trophy and she has taken a bunch of videos of her children.

Now she cannot find out how to download them from the mobile to her PC so she can burn a DVD and send to me.

Can someone give instructions like:

1) Open xxx by clicking on yyy

2)Choose zzz .......

And another question, what format is the video taken with HTC Trophy?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Sven in Chiang Rai

:):):)
[Trophy General] jmattp:
If she synced her phone with the Zune software on her PC, all she has to do is plug it in and check the folder it syncs to.

If she doesn't know where that is, look in (in Zune) Settings. It's either in the Pictures or Videos library or in Device>Pictures and Videos.

(I used to have a Focus, my Trophy is coming next week, but I still remember this)

She should also set it up for wireless syncing. It's quite convenient.

First off, if you are using CW Mod 3.+, go back to a pre 3. version or get Amon_Ra

If you go back to a pre 3. CW-- Wipe system 3X and all data/caches 5X, then retry

Did you reformat your sd card outside of phone with something like sdformatter and repartition 1gb 0 swap--back up card first and Nandroid

You may have jumped into this too quick, with only having phone 2 days

You need to flash Cyanogen rom then gapps then DT

I would study the CM7 thread, from OP page on--:)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firoz3321:
First of all, THANK YOU VERY MUSH FOR THE KIND REPLY.

I formatted using the OPTION in the ROM MANAGER.

i gave SWAP 32 mb and the other to be 512 mb.

What is and howdo i backup "Nandroid"

3x and 5x does it mean 3 times and 5 times ?

When the system was getting the Infinite Looping.

I restored the recovery rom. And while the recovery process was hapenning it freezed at "LOST+FOUND" Had to remove the battery.

Today i was trying to backup the ROM again and again it freezed at "LOST+FOUND" . Had to remove the battery.

Is it normal ??

I read some HOW TO stuff but seemed very complicated. so Then i went for the YOUTUBE EASY steps videos. So I rooted with the APP i specified above. And went for the ROM MANAGER.

Well all my friends have the LATEST versions. Even my brother had 2.3 on his Nexus S.

Only i seem to be stuck here .

Would there be any hardware faults for all these errors i get ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
The nexus s shipped with 2.3

This is why I and others will always tell you people to read the wiki.

Flashing roms and partitioning the SD card with a ext partition while not even know a nandroid backup is....:-(

1. Boot the phone into recovery. Not sure if its still cwm since I don't know wtf you meant by recovery rom but eh.

2. In recovery factory reset/wipe clear data etc. Basically clean everything you can a option to clean/wipe/format EXCEPT SD card.

3. Flash a rom. . Flash gapps if its cm7.

4. Read wiki.

5. Read wiki.

6. Read wiki.

Basically get the phone running. Stop ****ing with **** until you have a clue what you're doing. Then have fun.

you want 0 swap not 32

also, don't recommend, as mentioned, using CWMod 3.+

Do regular backups of phone and sdcard

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kaldonis:
Hello... I would have preferred to have posted this to one of the existing threads in the development forum but apparently new accounts are not permitted to do so.

Anyways, I've had a hell of a time rooting my I/O edition tab because I had updated it to 3.1. I'm pretty sure from reading through other threads that there are people having the same issues so I would like to share my experience in hope that it will help others.

So, like I mentioned above, the biggest (only) problem with rooting my tab was that I was unable to boot into recovery mode. Nothing at all worked - adb, fastboot, etc. I was sure I had all my drivers installed correctly but when I ran "adb reboot recovery" I ended up at the battery screen - this is apparently due to the 3.1 update. When I ran "fastboot boot someimg.img" it hung with the "waiting for devices" message. This was indicative of a fastboot driver issue so I reinstalled the driver a few times, then tried an older version of the fastboot executable, then tried a different machine... all to no avail.

Then I stumbled upon mention of a fastboot driver included with PdaNet. It was a bit of a pain to get Windows to install the new driver but I eventually got it to work. First I downloaded and installed PdaNet and said yes to replace all of my existing Android drivers. I then tried updating the fastboot driver through device manager but it wouldn't let me, it just kept saying the most current driver was installed. So I uninstalled the existing fastboot driver through device manager (also checked the box to delete the driver software, just so that it didn't install the same driver again) and then unplugged/replugged in the Tab (in fastboot mode) to reinstall the driver. The actual driver that it ended up installing was an ADB driver which I found a bit odd (the earlier one was "Nvidia fastboot" or something), but lo and behold running "fastboot devices" showed my tab and I was able to run "fastboot boot" on the CWM image and from there it was a snap (following instructions from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574).

PdaNet - http://www.junefabrics.com/android/

Hope this experience is helpful to someone else having problems rooting their Tab!

[G2 and Desire Z General] pickscrape:
Hi,

I recently flashed my G2 to the leaked T-Mobile gingerbread release: so it's not rooted or anything like that. I'm not using it any differently to how I was before.

The upgrade went very smoothly. However, the battery seems to be draining a lot more quickly than prior to the upgrade, and Android's battery usage app points a very damning finger at the display: currently it's showing 67% usage, and pretty consistently shows a high usage most of the day.

Before, I could consistently run the phone for the whole day and charge overnight, but now I'm finding that I have to charge it a bit during the day too in order for it to make it to the night.

I'm pretty sure that I'm not using it any more than usual, and I pretty much always have brightness set to 20%.

So my question is, what could be causing this? Could something be using the screen when it's not supposed to be even though it's not showing anything? Could it be a battery calibration issue? Maybe the power usage app in gingerbread calculates what it attributes power consumption to differently to froyo (though that wouldn't explain the overall reduction in life). What, if anything, could I do to try and track this down further?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z General] pickscrape:
Some things I should add.

I really haven't changed my behaviour regarding how I use things like wifi, bluetooth and gps. In fact, so far I actually have one fewer gmail account set up on it that before the upgrade, so sync should be doing less work. The apps I'm using are all about the same.

When I said I could use it for the day, I mean it would often end the day with more than 50% battery left. On some days I'd get it down really low, but that would be due to obvious extra usage, which isn't the case here. Occasionally I'd let it die completely. I always charge it fully overnight.

Finally, here are the other top items in my power consumption list at the moment:

Display: 67%

Maps: 8%

Cell standby: 7%

Phone idle: 5%

I seem to remember that before the upgrade, Cell standby and Phone idle were usually the top users of power.
[G2 and Desire Z General] diwad:
no problem

Sorry, but I don't see any problem. Maybe its just placebo. This is the same on every android based phone. I Had HD2 and had 2 NAND androids till now and the battery stats were showing also display use 60% and then after new NAND version - gingerbread they were up to 80%+ but the battery was better than ever before.

Let me explain it to you. The display should consume most of the battery if you have 3.7 inch display and more. Maybe some navigation and 3G is the biggest sucker like the display but with normal use the Display. And if your display consumes lets say 75% of battery over when you are at 1% battery then it means it sucked 3/4 of your battery and just 25% other things did like phone idle and cell.

If it was before and your display consumed like 40% or less that meant that the other things like cell standby, phone idle consumed more power so it wasnt battery efficient. So its more battery efficient. Maybe you just have much more awake time than you did before. The awake time - sucks the hell of your phone(some apps warn you taht your phone wont turn to the sleep, which means your processor is still working hard which means your battery will deplete completely in a short time)

I experienced this also that my phone lasted only 6 hours or so and before it could wen to all day . Then I deleted some apps which were causing it and my battery was perfect.

and last advice. try to charge your phone via USB, I dont really know why it is caused but it will last longer , but on the other hand you will have to charge it longer. But if you go somewhere where the extra juice is needed then its nice.

With these steps my HD2 with old battery (about 1000mah left on 100%) went through 2 days of medium USE and about 5 days of just receiving calls and messages) so I dont know anyone else who could say that ! :)

¨

hope I helped you. GL a HF
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
If you can stand it, turn the brightness as low as you can handle . EDIT, you're already doing that....hmm

Not sure why gingerbread is giving you problems, personally I find it slightly better with battery than froyo.

Sent from my T-mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] pickscrape:
Hmmm... placebo. By that, I presume you mean that since Display is ranking higher in the list now, that's making me think more battery is being used before. I suppose it's possible, but really it's more to do with how often I've been reaching that "I should charge" point, which for me is a function of battery level and time. If I get to 50% before lunch time, I think "I should charge". But getting to 15% just before bed I don't. What I've noticed is that since the upgrade I've reached the "I should charge" point every day.

I'm just very surprised by how the proportions in the battery usage list have changed, while a the same time the phone's battery usage seems to have increased, despite the fact that Gingerbread's battery usage is supposed to be improved.

One other thing that came to mind: perhaps Gingerbread's battery usage is just more accurate than Froyo's? It always seemed to me that the battery level used to work a lot like a car's fuel gauge: it would stick at 100% for a long time and then would drain. It was as though "full" as a concept understood by Android was a range rather than a limit, and so as a result the phone appears to drain more quickly, but it's actually just showing a more accurate battery level over time. Just a theory.

So last night I allowed the phone to completely die. This morning I switched on and immediately checked battery usage: display showing 99%, which is exactly what I'd expect. So I'll see how it goes now that Gingerbread has experienced battery exhaustion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
Personally, if I was upgrading from Froyo to Gingerbread, I'd prefer to start from scratch rather than doing an "in-place upgrade". I'd worry that maybe there are some leftover settings or files from Froyo that could cause unintended consequences. Consider backing up as much data/apps as you can (it's more difficult if you don't have root), charging the battery up to 100%, doing a factory reset, and then restoring and reinstalling everything back. Doing this will also reset Android's battery stats file, so you may find your battery levels maybe inaccurate while it's relearning the right levels for a few days.

Alternatively, if you don't fancy a factory reset just yet, you could try monitoring your power use with a widget like CurrentWidget which looks that the current draw rather than percentages. Also consider installing Watchdog Lite which might be able to help you identify if there are any processes using excessive CPU cycles.

EDIT: Just realised that if you flashed a leaked version, the install would probably have wiped everything anyway, so you can probably disregard the first paragraph.
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
Like the others have said, I think the screen usage being higher in 2.3 has more to do with the reduced usage of other apps and not the screen using more battery than in 2.2.

Think about it, most of the high battery usage items (web browsing, etc) also keep the screen on at the same time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pickscrape:
Yes, that's probably mostly because other things are using less power. I also suspect that maybe Gingerbread's battery usage app is calculating display usage differently: I just checked it on someone else's G2 (still running Froyo) and Display was way down the list. It dominates mine, even though I haven't used it that much today.

Today's power consumption has been a lot better. It's down to 39% now after 12.5 hours on battery, with 59% of that being attributed to Display. So that's not bad at all really.

Thanks for the tips on the monitoring apps. I'm already using System Panel (which only seems to care about apps and not hardware so much), but it's always worth checking out alternatives.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bonusbartus:
Couldn't it be due to you being in areas with bad connection?
