Now I found this answer by simply searching for car panel. You should really search before starting a thread. It will get you flamed bad. But being your first post I'll just say search before posting so no one yells at you in the future. Its probably why this post has a whole lot of looks and few replies.

Hi, ever since I used Dexter's 1.3 rom, I have a problem with my phone contacts. Its okay on first boot where I sign in with my gmail and Google imports my old contacts onto this phone. However, whenever I try to add a new contact, it doest appear under my contacts list, but does everywhere else, such as messages and call log. Its very irritating. Any help is appreciated!
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
Help please? There was no problem with the contacts after syncing with Google on miuixtfinal. But now on v4 I have this problem again even after syncing.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybe:
So when I root my phone using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858996 (TRUE PermaRoot and the ULTIMATE S=Off) and then comes time to install the ROM and with that the Kernel... in this case: "MIUI 1.6.24 demonSPEED v1.1" it is recommended that I also update the kernel to "demonSPEED INSANITY v2.0"

So I wiped everything and then flashed the ROM and then shutdown the phone and then booted into recovery and then wiped everything and then flashed the kernel.

My question is: Did I do this correctly or should I have done something different.

Here is my hboot info after I rooted my phone:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bochocinco23:
Your results posted only show that your phone has root and s=off. When flashing a rom wipe everything (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced then wipe dalvike cache, then flash rom. After flashing the rom wipe cache partition and dalvik cache again then install custom kernel. Eveything can be done in recovery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybe:
I do understand that everything can be done in recovery.

I guess my question is that after I flashed the ROM (after wiping everything of course)... should I shutdown the phone and then start back into the recovery right away and then wipe everything and then flash the kernel or should I let the phone start up normally after the ROM wipe and then shutdown and reboot into recovery followed by wiping everything and then flashing the kernel?

Or can I do both (ROM and Kernel) like this:

1) Boot into recovery.

2) Wipe Everything

3) Flash ROM

4) While still in recovery wipe everything

6) Flash Kernel

7) Reboot.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bochocinco23:
See minor change in step 4...After reboot I would open ROM manager and select fix permissions and reboot then u will be set....other than that you got it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
It sounds to me that the problem is you're wiping "everything" before flashing the kernel. If you do a full data wipe, you're wiping the phone clean including the freshly flashed ROM. Try following this procedure: wipe everything, flash ROM, let it boot/reboot, wipe only cache and Dalvik-Cache, flash kernel, boot again, fix permissions, reboot. That's the standard procedure for flashing a custom kernel other than the kernel that comes with the ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybe:
I actually haven't had a problem yet. Just wanted to make sure if what I did was the correct way to do things or not. Since there haven't been any problems and everything is working correctly so far, would you recommend that I reflash both the ROM and the kernel using the method you provided or should I just leave it be?

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
If you have the ROM and kernel you want loaded, and it's running smooth and stable, I would say leave it as is. Just refer to the steps I detailed the next time you flash a ROM followed by a third-party kernel. :)

[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
I installed/flashed Gingerblur yesterday and it was working fine for the whole day. At night, I put it back into it's case because I'm still waiting for my New Screen Protector and Case to come. I take really good care of it. Then I did not use the phone for the whole day. After having a really bad day, I started up my brand new Atrix for some fun and it was already at around 5% battery left so I went ahead and tried to charge it. I noticed plugging it into the computer did not work, so I tried wall charging it and that also did not work.

To sum it up,

Symptoms:

-Green Led for 2-3 seconds when I hold down the top main button then shuts off led. Note: Only happens/works if the phone is plugged into the wall.

-Green Led for 4 or more seconds if I plug in wall charger then shuts off led.

-No visual image on screen after battery drained out at all.

What can I do? I don't think I bricked it since it was working perfectly yesterday. Is there anything I can do? I have tried removing battery with no avail, it is plugged in to the wall charger still for the past hour.
[Atrix 4G General] logswithmoss:
This is a very weird problem and I don't know the exact answer..I just know i bricked my atrix before (failed to flash on a full battery) and couldn't charge the dead battery even on AC.

I ended up buying a universal battery charger from radioshack and then returning it once I got my battery fully charged and flashed the rom. Haven't had any battery problems since.

Hope this helps
[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
Thanks, I will try this but it is night time right now. I hope someone else has had experience of this before and can guide me to any other directions.

I did not fail a flash, unless the flash can fail even if Gingerblur was working 100% before it failed. I don't know if thats possible.
[Atrix 4G General] bjarnia:
Are you using the usb cable/charger that came with the phone?

I know it sounds ridiculous but the phone does NOT charge on any of my existing MicroUSB cables or wall chargers (used to have a nexus one). Pretty bummed about that :/
[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
Yeah I am using the one that came with it.

I also want to update that I've tried my sister's HTC Inspire charger and an old Samsung charger I have left around.

Both are USB to wall Adapters (I am not using the same wall power adapter for each charger) so I wonder if I need the one that plugs directly into the wall?
[Atrix 4G General] logswithmoss:
Yeah, you probably just have a dysfunctional battery or charger, either way, you're going to have to diagnose which one is the problem (fingers crossed that it isn't the phone)

/e:

it sounds like its not the charger, from your most recent post.

I think your phone is the problem, it's not processing how to charge the battery from the cable.
[Atrix 4G General] designgears:
Common problem. You need at least 850mA to charge the phone, so older usb ports wont work. The wall charger is actually working. Pull the battery out, put it back in, plug in the wall charger(don't press any buttons!) and let it sit for about 30min to get a decent charge. Should boot up after that.
[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
Hm, it's been charging for over an hour now and still hasn't turned on. But I did not do it exactly as you said. I unplugged the battery acouple times but I always try to hold the "fingerprint" on button right after plugging it in. I'll try not pressing anything this time. Thanks, I'll post back if I get any results.
[Atrix 4G General] Mgamerz:
The phone should turn on if charging, you don't need 850mA either. Standard USB is 500 and it just charges slower. I know this for a fact as I just charged it like that.

Take it into a store or contact where you bought it from.

Plugging in phone while off: Green LED for a bit, moto logo, battery icon

Power on, no charger : green light for a bit longer, moto logo, boot animation.

Try an at&t stores charger and see if theyll let you charge the battery.

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.
[Atrix 4G General] _Dennis_:
With a dead battery you need 850 mAH. The phone needs 850 mA ti boot and it needs to boot to charge (strange yes but software controls the charge).

I would suggest trying all the chargers you can (the Moto one may be giving you to little amps) and if that does not work you can try to either 1) make a dev cable (post on how to in the dev section, though it requires soldering and such so you may not be able to do it if you don't have supplies) or 2) get a charger for the battery (one to directly charge the battery vice through the phone).
[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
The battery method did not work, I did not try to hold the main button until 1 hour later to no avail. I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow for a replacement.
[Atrix 4G General] Pat123:
Edit: Oops..Too late to the party! I had the same issue that was fixed when I used a good quality micro-usb charger!
[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
850ma? You sure?

I've charged and booted my phone from dead on a 700ma charger and 500ma usb on numerous occasions.
[Atrix 4G General] anupash:
U need not worry .. put it in a wall charger .. and let it sit dere for atleast an hour .. the green led will come up when charge level reaches around 50% or more .. be patient ..
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I had the exact same issue the other day. I forgot to put my phone on charge at night, and it was dead in the morning. I plugged into the wall with my Moto charger, the phone turned on and went right to CWM. I rebooted from there, the phone showed 5% battery level, and within 10-15 minutes was at 20%.

I thought it strange my phone went right to the old Tenfar CWM even though I uninstalled it after unlocking my phone and installing the latest CWM from Tenfar.

It does seem that the shut off with the battery is 5%. I am assuming this is the safety factor built into either the Android OS, or the batteries themselves, as they do have circuits in them much like mini computers to shut them off before 100% discharge, as this will kill a Lithium Ion battery.

Some simple facts regarding the Lithium Ion batteries:

•They start degrading as soon as they leave the factory. They will only last two or three years from the date of manufacture whether you use them or not.

•They are extremely sensitive to high temperatures. Heat causes lithium-ion battery packs to degrade much faster than they normally would.

•If you completely discharge a lithium-ion battery, it is ruined.

•A lithium-ion battery pack must have an on-board computer to manage the battery. This makes them even more expensive than they already are.

•There is a small chance that, if a lithium-ion battery pack fails, it will burst into flame.

What I would like to know is why some people have problems getting a charge back in the Atrix after a complete discharge. There I was at 20% after 10-15 minutes using the Moto wall charger, while other people can't even get their phones to turn on after an hour on the wall charger.
[Atrix 4G General] vernicex:
I have the same problem, tried everything and finally found a solution

Get a warranty replacement.

The phone won't turn on, so they don't know what you did to it.

Got my new phone today, popped the dead battery in and voila, it charges !

Sometimes it's like people say, it's because of the charge, but your phone probably have issue, just get a replacement
[Atrix 4G General] LivingChampion:
I let it charge all night and it still has the same symptoms. Going to Best Buy in an hour when it opens.

When I get my new phone, should I Gingerblur it again or am I going to face this same issue? Was this software related or hardware?

Gingerblur was relatively easy to do, but I don't want to risk killing my phone a second time.

UPDATE: Got a replacement phone. Complementing whether I want to Gingerblur it again because that's the only thing that could have caused the battery issue other than it being hardware related.
[Atrix 4G General] Ciloteille:
You can try it again should work fine for you. If not...

You can always use their phone and your "dead battery" and visa versa theirs into your phone. Then if same issue happens. Just warranty the phone. If your in warranty do it. I've had g1's for no reason not charge. Led says it, os says it, yet NONE of my working batteries were getting any charge off the phone. Especially when the phone was 3 days old. Warranty.... if its free do it.
[Atrix 4G General] designgears:
Well, according to motorola it needs that much... so you never know :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] PURESKILLZZZ:
Yes if warranty then ok .. But we are here to do the impossible.. I just reconditioned a new battery just so it can turn phone on in same instance for a friend. So yes batteries and phones new can have charging issues.

There is an issue with smart-phones and batteries and has been since day one. If you are here then evidently you either love these phones and want to mod them or you are like me and love playing with electronics. Real simple if you in the smart-phone world there are a few rules of thumb..

1.) Never begin working without a fully charged battery (some say 51% or better I say 100% )

2.) Buy , borrow , get an external battery charger and/or stronger wall charger

3.) Extra batteries are always good.

4.) Read the damn stickies and wiki's ... People have taken plenty of time creating them. Those who know me know I have written some myself.

5.) The biggest problem is located between the chair and the keyboard .... (lol)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mauro235:
I've noticed that Camera app in CM7 doesn't show any values for ISO settings, but in the official ROM it's a supported feature.

So, I've modified a bit the Camera app source code, to show the ISO settings for the I9000 model.

Also, ISO 50 and ISO 1600 are supported, that were not listed in the offical rom. I think ISO50 = ISO100 because of hardware or driver limitations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Instalation methods:

I have attached the modified Camera.apk that you can install by doing:

# adb install -r Camera.apk

or

by simply copying the apk to the device and installing it like any other application.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Modified Sources:

I don't know really if this hack should be in the CM7 repository, so I've forked the module in github and anyone is free to checkout the code and my mods.

https://github.com/mauro235/android_packages_apps_Camera

It's merely an easy hack, but I hope you can find it quite interesting and useful.

I've added support for metering modes while we wait for official support.

Touch focus didn't work.

It's all Cyanogenmod magic code, thanks to the devs who are working on it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mauro235:
Can you please post the link to the thread?

As far as I know, the current libcamera.so doesn't have an api to set the light sensivity on video recording. It may be hardcoded deep in hardware, I'll check again the Kernel driver.

Another issue is the continuous auto-focus on video recording. Apparently not supported, I'll try that also.
