[Streak 5 General] htcjikelly:
Dell called back and the rep said they are sending me a new Streak. We will see what's what when it arrives.
[Streak 5 General] metal1f3:
I have a feeling it has something to do with the screen being super dodgy when it gets hot or has been in your pocket for a while. In another thread someone posted a link to a site where the military is looking into the streak. The last thing a soldier trapped in some sand dune in Afghanistan needs is a phone that wont unlock.
[Streak 5 General] hello@world:
just curious, what is the average temp over there? :)
[Streak 5 General] metal1f3:
Not as hot as I thought. Average temp in July and August is 91.
[Streak 5 General] HansTWN:
As I said in another thread, put the Streak in your pockets with the screen facing outwards. That will take care of the unlocking problem. We have 95 degrees and close to 100% humidity, and it always works now.
[Streak 5 General] metal1f3:
I too have found work arounds. The point is you shouldn't have to have works arounds. I think that the "update" is quality control, and fixing the screen issue could be the reason. Another pro tip. Sometimes grazing the phone along your arm discharges the static built up in the screen and will allow you to then unlock it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Evofusion:
Basically I want the phone to go back to the "welcome to android" page at the start WITHOUT losing root. Do i just do a factory reset? Will this get rid of root? Does it get rid of CWM?

I have accounts and stuff that i'd rather get rid of myself so the new owner doesn't have to hassle.

Thanks in advance guys, I want the new owner to start fresh, but keep root in case he wants to start adding roms himself.

EDIT: Can I just do a backup, flash a stock rom, see if it works then delete the backup? this way it is technically a "fresh start" but without any of my accounts, right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sixtninecat:
if you are running a rooted rom you can factory reset without losing root
[G2 and Desire Z General] Evofusion:
Well right now im running the stock rom but the phone is rooted, does that make a difference?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gbredy:
i rooted my fone a few months ago and all of a sudden it says s-on and it wont let me unroot. wat can i do??
[G2 and Desire Z General] Evofusion:
Can anyone chime in? I'm selling the phone in a few hours and I still have my main account synced to the phone, will restoring to factory from the factory rom UNroot the phone? I don't want this to happen. What are my options?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
I would just reflash the ROM your using and clear your SD card of personal things. I just did this with my HD2 running Android and it worked great.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
Did you do an OS update? If you dont have root anymore why dont you just go back to the start and try your luck again?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Evofusion:
The problem is i'm running the stock vanilla froyo rom that came with the phone. I dont have a backup that doesn't already have my main gmail account already synced to the phone.

Should I just download another stock vanilla original OEM 2.2 rom and flash over this one? then delete any backups of my old rom (the original)?
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
Forget about stock, just download CM7 and flash it :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] Evofusion:
Thats not a bad idea, does netflix work with cm7?

Also I was having problems with a few 2.3.3 roms making my usb transfer incredibly slow, the only roms that didn't do that were virtous (sense) and stock froyo... I dont want to sell the phone with a rom that makes the usb port un-usable...

Edit: Forgive all the questions, usually I would do my research but this is super last minute, all I want is for the phone to be stock without my gmail account synced and still rooted so that the new owner can choose roms as he likes. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
You know, I couldnt say about netflix. I was running meXdroid and netflix was fine. I flashed CM7.1 RC yesterday and can not seem to login. Reading comments in the CM7 thread it seems netflix is hit or miss. I have never had issues with USB so can not say either way. Why dont you visit the CM7 thread and read some of the comments.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Evofusion:
Thanks a lot for the help. I went with just flashing another stock OEM ROM from THIS thread, and so far so good, I got the ODEX version just because I want to make sure that Netflix works, as it is one of my prime selling points. Not very many android phones can play Netflix, and im certainly going to miss that, aswell as the keyboard.

I deleted all of my old backups, so none of my gmail accounts should be on the phone anymore.

I hope this thread helps someone who is trying to do the same thing, its definitely tricky.

In the end I played it safe, but there are certainly many options out there. Thanks for all the help everyone who replied.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gbredy:
nope i didnt do any update and im tryin to return a fone and i gotta bring it bak to stock

[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
Periodically something does a force close and the phone starts to reboot but just sits with a black screen until I pull the bettery. The fc error doesn't pop up so I have no clue which app it is. Has anyone had this issue? Running EF02 GB with EF10 modem. This just started yesterday.
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
It's been happening to me as well at random, I've come into the habit of installing a Rom twice before a boot up so that nothing is missed. But this problem persisted on Stock EF02 for me as well.
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
noobln posted that there was an issue with the EF02 modem that could cause that. There's a thread about it in the general section here, just gotta wade through a lot to find it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
I came to the Charge after a brief stint with the Nexus S 4G. On that device, there was a Voodoo-based kernel available which allowed the user to make adjustments to the color settings of the display. AFAIK, these color modifications are not included in the Voodoo kernel for the charge. Does anyone know whether it is possible to incorporate these in a future kernel and/or whether there is any other method out there to tweak the display?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I looked at incorporating Voodoo Color, but the methods that are modified by the Voodoo Color changes do not exist in our display driver.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davpel:
Too bad. Thanks for the quick reply though, imnuts.
[TG01 General] mirolg:
Bad news

Today during the day, right in town at my company car, the right rear window smashed and my laptop with all my company and private software,, the from from TG01 development also, was stolen . Really sorry to say that- but i can not end the miROM8/miROM1.

i hope i get back my laptop, but i not belive that .... without all my packages and tweaks, and spezial adjustments i´m not able to end my work, really sorry!

i thank very much to all best friends here for help me to cook miROMs for the beloved tg01 I will stay here on xda forum, in WP7 section and will visit from day to day our tg01 community. i always still have two TG01

thank you, friends
[TG01 General] Pere:
:(:(:(:(:(:(:( What a shame! I'm sorry, Miro,r eally bad news!!

I hope you will be able to recover your work.
[TG01 General] drasifjk:
Oh! So sorry to hear that Miro. I hope you'll be able to recover your stuff. Don't worry, you were and you'll remain our hero. No matter if you were not able to finish the last two ROM's.
[TG01 General] Scougar:
We realised you had already said you were stopping work for the TG01 anyway.. and had done a little extra for people anyway :-)

Real sorry to hear that your laptop got stolen! I hope you had insurance! Thank you for all your hard work, and bringing something different to the TG01 community.
[TG01 General] nikola92:
Damn bad luck but nwm imagine they stolen your car :)
[TG01 General] mirolg:
This is really Not to belive. ...O.K. I Had left the notebook in pocket on the back carseat. Never thought that such a thing can happen during the day :[
[TG01 General] sinjinn:
Never ever leave stuff on display in your car. They will take it and you will also have to replace a window.
[TG01 General] yaro666:
there is still a chance,

if you had sim card that connects with 3g/4g provider, you can go to provider and tell about the situation, they should track it with autolog.

Just as phones an IMEI numbers

but if stealer wiped all the data from it, you can just wait for police.

There is a MAC address option for tracking, but it is expensive (i think about 1000 euro).

too bad, but you should never leave anything on sight in a car. My brother lost window because of empty backpack
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Wow, so sorry to hear about this Miro!

Hope it all works out well for you!

[Wildfire General] music.soul:
Hey Guys whenever i download any apps from market i get the error Install Unsuccessful .... Insufficient storage ...

What to do :-/

Rom Hell Fire v7.2

UOT Kitchen Flashed 1

Overclocked 729 Mhz

Wildfire
[Wildfire General] wolfway:
delete apps or move some to SD card? If your memory is full it's logical you can't add apps :)
[Wildfire General] kjeerik:
Sounds to me that a2sd is not properly set up.

I been having some issues running out of storage internaly. and after some fiddeling around with a2sd it was ok. And how to do it is posted in this rom's explanation on how to install it.
[Wildfire General] music.soul:
nope dint workk :-/
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Type "su" first (Without Quotes), then try the a2sd command.
[Wildfire General] music.soul:
Can u mention it Step by Step?
[Wildfire General] Villelj:
Hi all, i have same issue.

Yesterday i finally rootat my Wildfire and put Cyanogenmod 7.0.3.stable on it.

Its very nice!

BUT cant allways install apps from market. I have 87mb free on inside memory and 1,7gb in sdcard... So what is problem?

What i need to do? I can full wipe all my data from telefone if somone tell me how i can do this..

Can somone help?
[Wildfire General] faiyyaz:
Use dalvik wipe from xrecovery to clean ur phone data.. :D
[Wildfire General] Balino:
try istalling darktremor a2sd script (need to be istalled from recovery if not already integrated into your rom) and download a2sdgui from market, it's a gui for the script mentioned earlier. into recovery you have to partition your sd card too (advanced) 1024mb ext and i suggest 64mb swap, then open the app I told you (a2sdgui) and move everything to ext, dalvik cache too.
[Wildfire General] thearif:
I agree with the poster above.

if you have issues with a2sd, I recommend installing A2SDGUI from market. (I assume you already have darktremors a2sd script installed). I had darktremors script working fine, but after flashing a zip file, it was not working. So I installed the A2SDGUI from darktremor and fixed the script. Now it is working. Just search the market and install it. It is great. Now I have around 168 MB free after all the installed apps.

Hope this helps,
[Wildfire General] bx19:
SOLUTION TO INSUFFICIENT STORAGE:

1. Use FROYO+ default apps2sd. It gives the option to force moving of 95% of the apps to sdcard. Even root is not necessary. You can move 95% of apps only after using the adb command "adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2". This command is not even needed in cm7. And this method uses the fat/fat32 partition of sdcard not the ext partition. Specifically apps will be installed to .android_secure folder in the root of sdcard.

2. This method includes creating ext partition on sdcard and using an app called "link2sd". This is a root only app. No scripts are needed. That app has option to even link individual apps to ext partition. Also links dalvik cache.

3. Creating ext + swap partition and using dtapps2sd script. Root is required. Also custom recovery is required for flashing the script. This might be the toughest one but it is pretty awesome. Moves apps , data, dalvik cache to ext partition. Everything can be done with commands from the terminal emulator. Or you can use the "a2sdgui" app for graphical user interface.
[Wildfire General] Balino:
The GUI for the script is much more user-friendly than emulator terminal. And you can undo everything you did if it's not as you tought faster than from terminal.
[Wildfire General] DestinyAwaits:
I am not aware of how Hell Fire works. But yes for Cyanogenmod 7 I know there is a issue downloading a large application from the market. It won't download. Problem is the space.

Fix for this is few steps:

1. In Terminal type the following commands.

2. su

3. mkdir /sdcard/download-cache

4. cd /cache

5. mv download download.bak

6. ln -s /sdcard/download-cache download

Done... Now Go to market and download anything you won't get such errors.. :)

If It Helps Don't forget Press Thank Button. ;)
[Wildfire General] Villelj:
Thanks a lot!

I just get my new sd-card( 16 Gb) and install darktremor a2sd script + a2sdgui.

Works just like it says!

No more thinking what program van install and what not.... :)
[Wildfire General] music.soul:
Well I just installed the MOdd Again ... and I was done

Though i bought Samsung Galaxy ace as its my second time the Touch Panel doesn't work ... first in Tattoo and den in Wildfire :)

So ... Thanx a lot guys for Helping

[Thunderbolt General] wfagan59:
I've seen this in a few other forums, but thought I'd post it here. Always wanted to use my Google talk app, but no one I'm close with really uses an android phone or the service very much, so I started looking for a solution.

I just followed http://technobuz.com/2011/05/add-facebook-chat-to-google-chat/ and it's working like a champ. It didn't mess up any of my contacts either, which is a good thing, because I keep them clean and neat as can be.

Only flaw is some facebook profiles show up as random numbers while others actually show their names. I just sent them a quick "hi" then looked on facebook messages to see who they were, and changed the name in Google Talk.
[Thunderbolt General] dakunesu:
Im guessing you since you havnt updated, that this is safe, without hacking attempts on your facebook?
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
You could use im+ and have all of her major messengers rolled into one.
[Thunderbolt General] dakunesu:
Yes, as well as trillian, xabber and meebo, each with thier own quirks and annoyances.

The reason i asked is last i remember, meebo failed pretty badly on mobile, xabber requires a constant connection and doesnt get offline messages, trillian hasnt got their act together on mobile either. last i checked on im+, it was horribly ad ridden and failed to stay connected too.

The only mobile client ive seen work consistantly is Talk, and with an external bouncer for facebook messages, talk stores the messages offline, and gets fetched through the app.

In a non quantifiable standpoint, i like ics's talk app :P
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I don't have the connection issues you're talking about with im+. The free version is quite ad ridden though. Download black mart and get it that way without ads. I paid for it myself and the only problem I have with it is it will drain your battery if you don't exit the app and go to push mode.
[Thunderbolt General] CJSnet:
There's definitely a benefit to using the GTalk app built in to Google+ or Gmail, instead of a standalone program which uses more of your computer's resources. Everything is going the cloud/Chromebook way, and this is just another helpfully tip. It seems every month I have less and less actual programs open, and more is done via Google Chrome and HTML5. :)

hows the battery life on the HTC EVO 4G with bluetooth, gps, wifi, email alerts and notifications all turned off?
[EVO 4G General] Neitmrh15:
I find the battery life to be right on par with other Android smart phones, and I always have mobile data/notifications on. Wifi seems to increase battery life.
[EVO 4G General] kibbles-n-bits:
Its pathetic in my book compared to my previous htc phones. About 3 to 4 hours use and its dead. Pathetic.
[EVO 4G General] nomadicthoughts:
pretty crappy. don't buy in to all these ppl saying "it lasts me 2 days etc etc" either cuz they don't actually use their phones
[EVO 4G General] pandamaja:
I have a stock 2.3.3. Yesterday, after 9 hours on battery with minimal usage (a few games of pew pew) I was about 30%. Today I used it a little more and was about 60% before lunch. Depends on your usage.
[EVO 4G General] xchompondizx:
It's aiite. I get 1 day and 2 hours on my fone with moderate usage... Depends what rom and kernal your using. :p
[EVO 4G General] PhxkinMassacre:
If you have 4g on all day and are constantly playing games prolly 5 hours. If you use it as a phone and not an xbox then you can get a full day out of it easy. My brother leaves 3g on all day and plays a few games and still has 10% after 15 hours...
[EVO 4G General] xchompondizx:
That sounds right.
[EVO 4G General] skullshank:
like others have said...depends...

i always have all 4g or 3g on, gps, wifi, bt, and screen high brightness...

i get a few hours, but for ME that's fine, as i'm always plugged in.

if i remember to dump bt and 4g when im at home, i'll maybe get a little more.

went to nyc to walk around last week...it was dead by noon, which was an inconvenience since i couldnt charge...
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
O

Honestly, it's terrible. There are steps you can take, however, that can get it "average" or "acceptable".

And like someone above said, don't listen to all these people saying they get 2+ days out of their phones.... they either

a) have an extended battery

b) use their phone light~moderate usage
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
using a Sense ROM and chatting on my phone all day using talk, streaming music, and checking email on 3 accts, I get an entire workday and then some out of my phone. I take my phone off the charger at 7am and don't put it on again until after 10pm. At that point I still have about 20-30% left.

I keep GPS and BT off unless I am using it, the Always On Mobile Data is disabled, and I use WiFi at home and work.

As some people stated, it depends on usage.
[EVO 4G General] LordAlexx:
I asked the same question the other day..60 views no replies...because everyone was raving about the awesome battery life on Kingdom_signed_062311_194639.zip but I get under 4 hrs because my screen is on alot playing the "word" game. Seems thats about right for heavy use.
[EVO 4G General] josh030181:
My phone has been unplugged for 10hrs now and I'm at 32%, I mostly talk between 2 to 3hrs a day, check emails, facebook, play games through out the day, text, but I keep everything off til I want to use it except data is on all the time, I keep all updates turned off I do updates as I choose, I'm happy with it plus I keep a fully charged battery with me anyway
[EVO 4G General] genderblurr:
With my stock battery I can get at least 6 hours with juice defender and a good kernel and I am glued to my phone. I read alt of ebooks on it and browse the web. My extended which is only 2600 I get at least 15 hours. I also use miui.if you don't like the phone get

A different one and stop whining

hi, josh.. what if i turn off everything (BT, wifi, email alerts, notifications, and reduced brightness).. and talk for 2 hours straight. listen to mp3 for 45 minutes. play a word game for 30 minutes. do you think that the battery will last 24 hours?
[EVO 4G General] xchompondizx:
What rom and kernal are you using?
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
*sigh*

You people need a lesson on reading comprehension. No where in my post did I say that I don't like the Evo... So why would I get another phone?

I said that the battery life sucks, which it does. Especially if your phone isn't rooted.

Also, I feel bad for you: only 15 hours with an extended battery!? LOL that's terrible. I use a Sense ROM (Fresh3.5) with netarchy-more-havs (don't know the version number) and I get at least 20 hours with moderate~heavy usage, on the stock battery.

When I'm using MIUI with Tiamat & ViperBoy's undervolt scripts, I get over 24 hours with moderate~heavy usage. I have no doubt that if I had an extended battery, I could get 2+ days.

P.S.

I will be getting another phone. Preferably the iPhone when (if?) it drops on sprint, or a mango windows phone 7 device. If neither of those happen, galaxy s II it is...
[EVO 4G General] whatsitsnamenow:
It's terrible. Heavy usage I get 2 maybe 2 and a half hours. If you don't use it much,the standby time should be enough to get you through the day. I remember streaming the world cup on Sprint Espn and it barely made it past one 2 hour game before it became totally dead. Don't know how some say they get 5 plus hours on 4g running under heavy usage. I think their idea of heavy usage is much different than mine.

[EVO 4G General] genderblurr:
Pretty obvious you can't read. I said at least 15 hours and its not a 3500 just a 2600 sprint battery, meaning minimum, as of right now I'm on 16 hours 41 minutes and 61% left; that's with a four hour nap in that time. If the phone sucks as much as you say since this is the second thread I've seen you ***** in in less than twenty four hours then get a new one. The iphone is locked down way more than htc locking a bloody bootloader. If that's what you call freedom then so be it; just stop coming on the forum *****ing every five minutes and then getting pissy because someone said something to you about it.
