Thx but I'm not an overclocker as I feel it is a total waste of battery and you rarely see any difference for normal useage anyways.
[Verizon Droid Charge] J7NY:
So I think I am missing something here...How do you wipe battery stats without beeing rooted? I get into recovery mode, but don't see it as an option.

My batter life sucks, so I've been trying to find a solution...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Ted A:
You and I are in same the boat. My battery sucks and I feel like I've been had by the Engadget editorial staff.

I've been using BatteryCalibration app from the Market. It requires you to have your device be rooted once. I ran it half a dozen time, and it appears that my battery had improved somewhat, from 6 hrs to merely 9 hrs of use on 4G, which is about the same for my old DROID X on 3G (with standard battery).

I'm really thinking about jumping to this when it comes out. I love the size of the streak but I'm kinda over android. Won't lose that much screen estate since it's gonna be 4.7". And I'm kinda interesting in the new windows os.
[Streak 5 General] Dsmwookie:
I ve considered this as well, and my conclusion is that if it's offered on T-mo then it is a stable option. Second I m sure it can be dual booted for those missing Android.
[Streak 5 General] ru_ready:
Yeah I forgot about it being T-mo. I wonder if they will make one for att bands? Hope so!
[Streak 5 General] Dsmwookie:
I dunno that it has been announced which carrier it will be on, but more than likely ATT will have it either way.
[Streak 5 General] rvbarton:
My work phone is a Dell Venue pro running Windows Phone 7. I love the windows phone OS, and personally, if I can find a phone with decent specs & screen size, I would give up my streak for it. I love my streak, but I get tired of tinkering with it all of the time to get it to do stuff. The windows phone OS is very limited, more so than the iPhone, but it's buttery smooth and what it lacks in options, it makes up for in comfort.

Just my 2 cents...
[Streak 5 General] Foxhoundep3:
i thought ATT had bought Tmobile?, when is this whole merging/switching thing going to happen... (i know off topic, sorry)

on the other hand I am as well looking to move from the dell streak, i want something thats good out of the box not have to tweak and download and read thousands of pages to get it to be decent... im getting sick of it
[Streak 5 General] mid_life_crisis:
You realize you're implying that the evil empire did something right, or at least mostly right...

But seriously, I'm with you guys, I love the screen size and some of the free services just amaze me, but this phone crashes as often as my old Win95 PC did.

More often, actually.
[Acer Iconia A500] Trinnity66:
Here is the situation:

I will be getting a Brand new fresh untouched A500 later in the week as a replacement for my faulty one (Micros SD slot no longer working).

I want to make a full backup of some sort to share with the XDA community. I am in Australia and know that a number of people are looking for a copy of this rom to restore back to original for whatever reason.

I believe it should be shipped with 1.016.04_Com_Gen1.

I have had experience using CWM and rooting on this device and have flashed several roms to my device in the past. I can also do a full backup in CWM. I also have a working adb.

What format does the community really want, and how do I go about creating it.

I am willing to help other by providing this rom, but want to know the best format to supply it in and get it right first go.

Step by Step instructions required please. We have a week to sort this out before I get the unit.

Cheers,

Michael.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
I ll wait for it, mine was on that firmware...
[Acer Iconia A500] Trinnity66:
Thinking this is probably the best way:

Backup the first 0x680000 bytes of mmcblk0 and all partitions (except cache + data) with dd:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=512 count=13312 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/mmcblk0_start

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p1

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p2

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p3

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p5

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p6

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/mnt/external_sd/dumps/p7

Comments???
[Acer Iconia A500] Bec07:
Agreed. Also make a CWM backup after that for convenience. After trial and error I found it does restore properly too as long as you don't forget about the recovery.img (has to be restored from acer recovery installer app)

On my thread CWM always gave checksum error for the others unfortunately.
[Acer Iconia A500] spazmodik:
I'll be waiting to see how you go with this. I was one of those who stupidly/ impatiently updated using the leaked acer update before understanding the need for a backup of my original. :-(

thanks for that ;)

what kind of backup is this ?? ( ADB or CWM )

I asked, because it's nearly 300MB bfore commiting to download :p

and personally, I would preferred CWM method of restoring.

P.S ... did you get any update notification afterwards ? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Trinnity66:
These are CWM created image files. Cache and data removed.

No update notification received as yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] cad_2011:
downloaded this ROM, copied onto the CWM backup directory, when i try to restore using CWM, it complains about MD5 mismatch.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzyCarr0t:
Is it possible to increase the internal storage on the Aria from 185 mb? The Sense 2.1 Salsa port takes up too much internal storage and I just wanted to know if we could increase that amount. The devs over at the TP2 forums have created toporesize which increases the size of the data.img file.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niraj411:
Yea I'm having the same problem. :( I really hope that there is something that we can do about this.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrumheller:
I haven't used the new sense rom ports, but I believe dt's a2sd is functional on them. You could use this to move apps and dalvik cache to the sd card...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzyCarr0t:
I already moved all the applications that it allowed me to. Problem is, cm7 has an option where you can set where the application gets installed but this Rom only tries to install it to internal storage. It would be great if there was a way to increase internal storage.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cHarley04:
You need Dark Tremor a2sd. You can start reading HERE.

.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsusparky621:
Yeah. DT's a2sd tells the system that the apps are installed on the internal storage, but actually moves them to an extention on your sd card. You do have to set up the partition on your sd card, though.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JazzyCarr0t:
Got it. Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] golfslicer:
I thought I would post this, as it took a while for me to find instructions myself.

Go to this page, these worked for me on the captivate.

1. Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone and plug phone into computer, hopefully you already have the drivers installed, if not do so.

2. Install Java SE software development

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/

3. First Install android software development kit:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

4. Once the application has launched you will be presented with a windows and click on refresh.

5. It is recommended that you select select all available packages for maximum compatibility

6. Once the files have been downloaded, close the application

7. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools

8. Double click on DDMS.BAT to execute the Dalvik Debug Monitor

9. The application will launch with a DOS window and eventually a Windows based application -- your phone will be listed on the left hand side, and you should click on it to make sure it is selected, mine was at the top.

Click on the Device menu and select Screen Capture. Their are tabs in the windows that opens that are quite obvious.

Hope that this helps somebody. There may be other ways, but this is free and it works good.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] timmytim:
You could also install drocap2 from the Market (free) and take screenshots on the phone. Then copy to the PC or upload them directly from the phone.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Smasher816:
If your rooted you have easier options.

There are apps in the market like ShootMe and ScreenshotER.

CM7 also has a screenshot button on the extended power menu (long press power).

Edit: simi, ninja :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jonnyg1097:
Yea a feature in the power menu to take a screen grab would be pretty sweet

[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
Okay, I have been searching for some time now on how to do these two things.

One being how to get a weather widget like in this screen shot and how to theme it.

And second being how to change the system font?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dragonstalker:
FONT. Settings/Display Settings/ Font Style

As far as the widget, download one from the market. I'f i'm not mistaken, that one is beautiful widgets. Look in the apps and themes section for a how to on theming.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Schneeder:
Well unfortunately when it comes to trying to figure out how to theme the Beautiful Widget like that I have had no luck on finding directions. I might have to go ask over there. Just figured I might check here first.

[General Topics] JustUnicycle:
Cliq (original) running most recent stock update.

To start, it is not cracked, shattered, or fully unresponsive. Only the right 25% of the screen does not respond. (Making some letters useless, and unable to press "Clear" on status bar among the obvious feature losses.)

While I have not taken it apart to verify that the ribbon is fully seated, (possible cause, along with it is just broken) I figure if I am going to take 3 hours to disassemble, I might as well have a spare digitizer to put into it...

My question is this:

Is there a way to calibrate the screen's display (by app, or ROM) to shrink the screen to where I can actually get to all the keys? [Calibrate the screen edge, as with the old style monitors.]

[I will root/flash ROMs/kernels if there is a viable method. Good with computers, new to Android, but I'm game to risk my $30 to get a working backup!]

I figure take out 25% of the top and right side and then even when the phone shifts I can still touch everything... Would turn the phone into a viable replacement.

The replacement is $25, after 3 hours of dealing with T3+T5 screws... on a phone worth $50-75.

Thanks in advance, new poster for the most part, but I frequently use you all as my Android Rolodex.

[PS. should I feel like worst case this is a few command lines that skip a pixel every a few lines on both output and input. This may be more complicated than I think it is, as there are always bugs when you think of it like that, but feel like this is close to method the fix must use, but perhaps less precise.]
[General Topics] rizdog23:

Granted this is sped up and all, but the process will not take 3 hours. I did this ony my hero cdma (essentially the same process) and it only took me ten minutes (i was being very slow and cautious). I'd say just go for it because it is worth it. My screen was not cracked, i only took it apart because i am painting it....not done yet but definitely getting there. I also noticed that after taking apart the phone and putting everything back the phone was actually more responsive. I guess over time of use, things start to move ever so slightly and this tends to make parts of the screen unresponsive. I'd try taking apart the phone then putting it back together and see if that helps (sorta like recalibrating it) and if not well then buy your screen and put it in. Hope this helps

Hey guys,

First of all i'm following this guide and I have a i9020A (rogers).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138755

And I unlocked the bootloader correctly but when I am trying to install the new recovery it just takes me to the screen with the "!" and a triangle.

Is there anyway to fix this and install ClockworkMOD 3.0.2.4?

Thanks.

The phone boots up normally if I don't go into fastboot mode.

Your recovery is not sticking through reboots unless you rename the install-recovery.sh in /system/etc or use the sticking script provided in the guide you linked.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
As the topic suggests can someone tell me how do I make them run on 3.1 ota........I searched the dev section already.....I need a method which doesn't break future ota's or is simpler.......(even if it breaks ota....there should be a way to fix it.......)
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
so far you need a rooted devices and some modification and extra file to make it work... and since the "OTA" removed all related to 3G.... I don't think it's in the plan of ACER to allow user of A500 to use 3G Dongle
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
So....that means I can't use the dongle on 3.1 OTA??
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
the 3.1 never spoke to bring 3G dongle compatibility :D

if you was dreaming about, sorry to broke your dream.

You want 3G on a tablet, go on a custom firmware who support 3G.

but becarefull 3G dongle are limited not all are supported.

If you wanna a 3G Tablet you should wait for the A501 :D

I prefer connect by wifi tablet to my phone and then to 3G with my phone
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
What about 2g dongles??
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Same thing. Mobile network capability is not part of the A500 ROM, nor will it EVER be, officially. That's why Acer make the A501 model.

If you want cell capability, either buy an A501, or use the mods/custom ROMs from the dev section.
[Acer Iconia A500] ahsya:
Is there any way we could fallback to 3.0? Using 3G dongle is really important to me. If only I knew from the first time that 3.1 OTA removed 3G feature :(

Well as a newbie, flashing to a custom 3.1 ROM which support 3G is a little bit risky to me :P Will try that someday for sure, but not now ^^
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
3.0 didn't have any 3G/2G features either, so going back will achieve nothing.

You either use the mod, a custom ROM, or you buy an A501. Those are your options.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
what the point to fallback to 3.0... that was not supported neither.

if you really want 3G... my advice is... use your phone as 3G Modem Wifi>3G

why?

well

1 Sim

1 Bills

1 think to think...

if A501

phone bills

3G bills for A501

etc. etc..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shauna_cc:
So today I decided I was bored with trigger and flashed project v because I'd heard really great comments about it. After a little more reading I flashed the Bali kernel which I'd had before. It's very fast but the only problem is I can't do anything that requires data usage without being connected to wifi. It's very annoying because although I'm in a bookstore at the moment and have wifi, I won't always have it and I'll be pissed when I can't use my phone. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution? Thanks in advance!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belly1026:
I have exactly the OPPOSITE problem. When I'm on wi-fi, internet connection will drop after approximately an hour and I can only use 3G to connect to the internet unless I turn wifi off and back on.

I tried re-flashing but it didn't really do anything. But in your case, it might be worth trying. Good luck!
