I may need to do this. I have an extended battery and my battery life has improved considerably but I find myself checking it all the time thinking something is eating my battery and I need to hunt it down and force close it. LOL

I updated to the newest CM7 a few days ago but it was doing all kinds of hinky stuff and my battery life went down to about 7 hours and it was using battery heavily even in airplane mode. I do back ups religiously so I just nanded back to the original CM7 stable and all is well again.

I have nokia5800 and I'm getting i9000 in a few days. I want to move all my SMS, calendar and contacts to my new phone. What's the best and easiest way to transfer them all safely over to SGS? I searched for this and found one website that would do it but it says "beta ended" and can't do **** in that site....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doomsdaycs:
use google account to sync contacts and sms migrator to sync sms.. so at the end both sms and contacts are transferred from ur symbian to android platform!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xCTRL:
So how do I do this sync with my google account? Do I have to use PC or can it be done directly from the 5800? And about the SMS migrator, is that on the phone or have to use pc?

[HTC Sensation] stevekixs:
I know there is a known issue with the phone restarting on the shipped build. However I have been having the device restart sometimes 4 times in a row when unlocking, and it comes up with the tell htc notification.

I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem. It's extremely annoying. I've had the phone like 2 weeks and this just started today.

The only thing I can think of is I just signed up for htc sense and set a new skin.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skyrim:
Someone knows if Asus have plans to upgrade the Transformer with the upcoming version of Android?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] king_dani:
They better do that, atthe moment Transformer is not a whole ecosystem, and the fact that honeycomb will ceasse to exist, indicate any future update, which was officially promised to extend to an 18 month period by google, will make me deduce that Ice Cream is indeed in the future of my beloved device
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AstroTrain:
I don't understand Honeycomb, there was and is much talk that Honeycomb needs more time to mature and have more apps to rival IOS but it seems they switched gears to ICS. It looks like Honeycomb is an aborted baby or some band aid solution until they release ICS in the fall, that would be less than a year for HC.

The app developers have no real incentive to push out apps when a new OS is around the corner and with the new OS it would be even more time for teething issues. I think Android tablets users are getting the short end of the stick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hakizi:
Honeycomb and ICS are not different OS's. ICS is simply an update to Honeycomb, like how 3.1 was an update from 3.0. It will be the update from 3.2 to 4.0. It is the same thing as how phones got updated from 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.3. Next up for phones is the jump from 2.3 to 4.0, because ICS is the unification of the tablet and phone sides of Android.

If a dev is waiting on ICS to build an app, then they are both wasting time and potential revenue from selling the app, because the app will work perfectly fine on ICS. Google does everything they can to ensure that apps can scale and evolve both through various devices, and OS versions.

TLDR;

ICS is just an update to Honeycomb.

Edit: Also, Google has stated that ICS will be open sourced, and since we have root on our devices, I would say with absolute certainty that we will be able to have ICS roms. I wouldn't worry too much if there is an official update or not because of that. You'll get your Ice Cream and YOU WILL LIKE IT!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mackdaddy187:
You are true AstroTrain. Honeycomb was hacked together from the phone versions to quickly rush out a tablet pltform. Ice Cream would be a true tablet OS along with a phone OS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kingsway8605:
The transformer is a very hackable device. If there isnt an official release there will be a dev release. All of the iconias are locked and some of the 10.1s are locked, which is why the transformer is the best honeycomb tablet on the market rightmost.

Hi nico1375,

Don't know whether you have found the answer as its been a while, I was looking for it as well, apparently it is banned in Android market, but you can find it by going to 'androidpit . com' and search for it.

I didn't download it cause you have to pay... sigh...

Does anybody know of a good app that basically lets you control your phone from your desktop computer.

For example if i am sitting at work with my phone plugged into the usb is there a program that can make it easy to send texts or access my phones files.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] little8020:
I have used a program called webkey, in the market, and thee are a few others if you look in the similar apps
[Captivate Themes and Apps] steelcity:
thanks webkey looks like it can do what i want, however i wasnt able to get it to connect.

I'll mess around with it some more and see if can get it to work. None of the similar apps appeared to look like they had the same functionality though.

Any other recommendations?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Sine.:
I've just looked that last night, and after spending some time to compare the number and the quality of reviews of this kind of apps, the best one seems to be Remote Web Desk (Free)

Works like a charm, fluid even by wifi (my actual test), and the list of functionnalities is impressive :D

And contrary to many other remote control apps, you don't have to install any software on your computer, and it has a very sweet desktop interface :)

This is what you see in your browser

Edit : also/or install the Remote Control Addon (free too, can work stand-alone ;))
[Captivate Themes and Apps] OwenW71:
I've been using AndroidScreencast for some time now. It requires ADB and the refresh is slow, but it does work reasonably well.

You may have to start ADB manually in order to get it to work. Mine did not require it for several weeks, but now I have to....not really sure what changed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:

[[ MAIL ANSWER 2 on Unlocked Boot on the Desire Z. ]]

Dear Espen Haugen,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, we’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative. We are currently developing new bootloader unlocked software for android phones. HTC is still committed to allowing our customers to unlock the bootloaders if they wish, however we are still implementing the policy and many updates were already finalized prior to our change in policy.

We currently don’t have information regarding which phones will be unlocked unfortunately.

At the moment we dont have a schedule yet either, but stay tuned; we will let you know via our official website and official social media outlets.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but be assured that we are working on a solution for our customers and our commitment has not changed. Please stay tuned to our official channels for ongoing updates on how we will be implementing this policy. Thank you for your patience.

Sorry for funky first post.. Android App posting gone bad! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] pierrekid:
Anyone could write this man. If you really want us to believe this is true, then do a computer snapshot of the email/ conversation and post it. Make sure that its the original and not a word document, one officially signed by tmobile with employee ID and name in the email. Sorry but we see a lot of these so called valid responses that end up being complete bs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] firsty:
You can log into the HTC Global ContactUs and see the whole conversation, as stated in this thread..

Using the ticket number 11NOCW27ENA000182 and email : bazerave (at) online.no

I contacted HTC support because the end of june is near.. and no update has shows at least on my device, being in norway. And always one or two steps behind everyone because of

our forever slow Telenor Mobil always slowing down the Update's progress..

And it was NOT from Tmobile... it was from the HTC support department...
[G2 and Desire Z General] abdulmueid:
I can confirm that the replies from HTC are real. Just logged in with the ticket number and email by firsty.. Hope they don't delay too much for South African unbranded Desire Zs
[G2 and Desire Z General] firsty:
Really hope that they dont dissapoint us with this. And a much needed rootable phone... what a whack idea to lock us out like this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
This is a very noobish question but hopefully people will actually answer it anyways.. what exactly does an unlocked boot loader mean? Does it mean your phone is essentially always rooted ? So like I could overclock with any of those apps on the market?
[G2 and Desire Z General] firsty:
Well, it means that it can be rooted using rooting tools. It will not be unlocked out-of-the-box. But capable of recieving Perm root.

The new update locked this feature, and the new bootloader made it impossible to use easy tools to root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
So would this then mean I'd skip the downgrade step? Would I be able to easily temp root? I've always wanted to try but with all the downgrading and code working I'm way too nervous
[G2 and Desire Z General] firsty:
Yes, when the new bootloader is implemented on the devices it will be possible to use tools that does not require downgrade. As my Desire Z was rooted with Visionary before the .405 update, it SHOULD be possible to use Visionary ( maybe a new updated one for the new 2.3 ) to Temp and Perm root the phone once again.

There might be other tools available when the new bootloader gets on the devices. But there are not much info regarding when and how it will become available.. got no real answer except what i posted here from HTC.. rather cruel to us nerds :) But it's well worth the wait, i hope :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] noneabove:
Thanks much for the info! Guess I'll wait until it comes out and see what I can do with it cause I'd really like to give it a shot :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] firsty:
Yeah, after my big update-fail loosing root, i have also waited.. even though they say that custom roms are better, i kinda like when my second HTC phone works.. so i take no "big" chances on bricking it :) So i'll wait too for the update, and see what happes.. i guess i'll brick it then :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] celahudini:
I know this may sound as bs and if so I'm sry but I just wanna know does this reply from htc relate to the desire Z's in the US only or worldwide?Hopefully with this out I'll be able to finally root my phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
you know... you can root your phone and get a rom that has gingerbread on it for the past month or so right? if not, check the android development subforum. there's a good amount to choose from and they're all good in their own rights.
[G2 and Desire Z General] celahudini:
No I don't know.I just tried to root it yesterday(for the first time actually) with visionary+ but thankfully I couldn't get it to temproot so I never got to the step to try and permroot it.What's the other method and is it anywhere near as simple as visionary?
[G2 and Desire Z General] firsty:
When i rooted the first time i used Visionary too. But if you got a model with the new firmware, you cant root it because of the new bootloader.. With older models you could root, and install Ginger with no problem at all. Thats why they decided to go forward with removing the Root-locking bootloader..

And it seems like the answer i got was pretty basic, so to me it sounded like it was for Desire Z in general.. but Provider locked phones will of course be slower than unlocked phones that get the firmware directly from HTC and not the provider-haxed firmware.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Check the android dev subforum. or the wiki. there's a full guide on using visionary to only do temp root then gfree to do the perm root. From there, you can pick your choice of gingerbread roms. I'm using virtuous Unity 1.26. others have their preference, but check it out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] celahudini:
So basically from what I've read over there the only option for me is to downgrade to an earlier version,then temproot with visionary and permroot with gfree right?I was hoping I'd be able to install the coredroid rom but that'll be the easy part once I actually manage to root the phone.I mean if the update's gonna come in a matter of days why should I bother downgrading.Btw thanks for your replies guys
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
Yes, i believe it is because they havent really figured out how to root the newer version. As of waiting a few days for official gb, i have no idea since they promised to deliver during Q2 and since Q3 has just started, i dont know how long it will take for them to actually fulfill their promise.

But in the mean time, unity is a pretty good inbetweener.

You still have to root your phone if u want coredroid anyways, so no harm in doing it now and getting your pick of GB roms.
[G2 and Desire Z General] celahudini:
Well I wouldn't mind rooting it since I was trying to do it anyways but reading trough the threads and wiki for downgrading the dz all that adb fastboot and goldcard stuff seems way too complicated for me so I guess I'll wait for the official update and see if an easier method like the visionary one or whatever pops up
[G2 and Desire Z General] mputtr:
woah.. those are all different methods, you dont have to use all of them.

as I said:

Temp root via visionary

Perm root via Gfree

done.

no gold card and all that stuff.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] t0adman:
I've found that occasionally my Inc2 will lose 3G connectivity when I leave the wireless network at my house. The only way to get it working again is a reboot. Any ideas on why this happens and, more importantly, how to fix it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I haven't had this problem. I use wifi while at home and often leave it without doing anything other than starting up my media player to play some tunes.
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
Some PPL on the development forums were asking how to boot $auron's UrukDroid out of bubu's openAOS Boot Menu. Since i can't post there yet, i'll post here.

I looked at bubu's initramfs/init script and it should be fairly easy to boot any partition as well as any rootfs.img.

the menu.lst syntax is:

{NAME(has to be unique)}|{DEVICE(leave blank for img)}|{IMG}|{INIT}

A special thing is putting 'ARCHOS' into {DEVICE}, because that will boot from ARCHOS' stock SQUASHFS file

so adding this line to menu.txt should let you boot UrukDroid from sdcard

UrukDoid|/dev/mmcblk2p2||/sbin/init

I have to add, i havn't tried it myself yet, because i haven't put bubu's loader on my A70IT yet.

I would really appreciate you letting me know if it works!

Greetings Oro
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
First:

Thanks for your work:)

Would this also work, with on internal installed urukdroid?;)
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
You would have to get the device name of your root partition

since mine is a sdcard install i can only provide that information.

but if you can boot into uruk right now you can do the following to get the device node:

Open any terminal emulator and type:

cat /etc/mtab

then search for

<device> / <fstype> rw,noatime,barrier=1,nodealloc,....

in my case that is:

/dev/mmcblk2p2 / ext4 ....

take the first one (<device>) and put it into the menu.lst line:

UrukDroid|<device>||/sbin/init

still i haven't tested any of this. it's just the result of my looking at the bootloader's init script

Greetings oro
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I cant:D i installed the openaos boot menu, so urukdroid is gone...:(

I really want to have uruk again, i hate the stock firmware:D

I know these steps, but is there no way to compile a *.img from uruk?...

i compiled one but these dont worked...:(
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
first of all IMO putting Uruk into an image file would be stupid,

second you'd have to either find a way to run the installer on your computer, or ask $auron what exactly it does and put a working rootfs togehter manually or dump an existing thing

your best bet would be to boot openAOS and dd Uruk's Root Partition into some img file. But since you don't know which yout Uruk Root is and i don't either, only thing left would be to ask $auron where he installs it. and if you know that, you can use my method just as well

greetings
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Okey, i`ll do:)

Then i have to install urukdroid and after that install the openaos boot menu?;)
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
Nope

if you've got the device node of yout Uruk root you should be able to put it into that menu.lst lint i showed you where <device> is.

Just to mention it, I don't know if $auron provides a working live-initramfs, but if he does you should be able to simply flash that through the sde recovery menu.

by live-initramfs i mean one, that doesn't launch EasyInstall but run UrukDroid directly.

greetings
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Yeah, i understand that.. but how do i install uruk?...

sorry i dont understand:D

i aksed sauron per pm:)
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
Hmm.. how do i explain.

It's like this:

the device node is like a link to the partition.

If you put Uruk on a Partition, you have to tell the bootloader which partition is the right one, the one with Uruk on it.

The bootloader then searches for an init-file there and executes it

so bubu's menu is the bootloader in this case, so you tell him where he has to search for Uruk by putting the right device node into the menu.lst.

hope you understand it a little better now ;)

greetings
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
Yes, so first i have to install Urukdroid, because if i dont, bootloader doesnt find anything:D or not?

Yep, thanks:)

I´m still a bit new in booting:D
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
Nope, because you installed it already.

You said you had an existing installation on your internal memory, didn`t you?

You just have to find out where it is. And tell that information to the bootloader.

Greetings

TapaTalk on A70IT here -- who's there?
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
I had have a Urukdroid installation, before i installed the boot menu i completly wiped my archos:) for a completly frsh install
[Gen8 General] Orochimarufan:
Okay then youre right. If there's nothing he obviousli cant execute anything.

So if yuo installed it again, would you be kind enough and report back the device node?
