Is there a easier way to reboot to recovery instead of having to turn my phone off then turn it on. Is there a app for that anywhere
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foka002:
Rom manager in market will reboot to recovery mode for you.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] hauj0bb:
I'm assuming that it's just a background process that's getting forced closed, because I'm still able to use all of the gapps without problems.

This is pretty annoying however.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
I think I saw it once today.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mike5065:
I get this occasionally, at the same time as account sync, or afterwards. My guess right now is this is related to the bookmarks sync issues I (and others) have had.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hauj0bb:
Thanks, I'll try disabling bookmark sync .. not a huge deal for me anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Made2Last:
Just picked up a Transformer yesterday and updated and I have a fairly re-occuring force close of the google gapps(fairly being 3-4 times an hour or so). Never stops running anything, just popping up alot. Annoying.

Will try to disable bookmark sync hopefully that helps, otherwise I may be returning it before the 14 day because my fiancee thinks it's too heavy :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] almaalma74:
LOL...

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Made2Last:
Yeah embarrassing for me, I get to upgrade to the Tab 10.1 based purely on that.

Same problem for me, somebody know how to solve this ?

Sorry for digging this out, but nobody give a solution...

After latest update i'm having gapps FC randomly. When I disable syncing internet bookmarks it is ok, but I really need that sync...

Hey,

I've been on holiday and the new version of ARHD is out, but requires (well, recommends) a full wipe, but I'll take that recommendation considering how long it's been since a full wipe and my phone could probably do with it.

So my question is really, what should I backup before a full wipe, and how?

I've got app apks + data with titanium backup, and seo's sense3 sms can backup and restore texts (also I get them saved to gmail), but what else?

Thanks :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hccssn:

Hello,

use the Titanium Backup app and back up all user applications with data and system data.

With this method you back up everything, what you can move to the new rom.

Best regards,

Herold
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wid0w:
Also, you can "nandroid backup" from clockwork recovery just in case rom flashing fails.

Edit: which is not the case really with arhd. Only themes flashed wrong got me into bootloops
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torsrex:
i usually do "adb pull /data/app C:/random_folder" and "adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf C:/random_folder/wpa_supplicant.conf". This copies all of your apps and your wifi networks to your harddrive.

Titanium backup, apps and data only, manual everything else
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohithksaj:
titanium back up works only in rooted fone right ????

whats the best app to save back up b4 downgrading ????

i used myfoneexplorer......it is installed nicely in fone....

but when i downloaded it to pc....it keeps showing errors......[nero not found..something like that........]

any suggestions..??????????

I have got many apps including...........F secure.......

thanks in advance...........
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torsrex:
This was also something I wondered about before I rooted.

First, if you are connected to your gmail account, all of your contacts, emails, sms, phone log etc will be synced by Google (backed up). Even better, if you are connected to htc sense, it will save all of your WiFi passwords!

Second, you won't be able to take backup of your apps and data without root, although Android market will try to restore every app that you have downloaded from it (still without data). Remember I said try, because it doesn't always work. Therefore I recommend that you use an app called "app list backup" by pun software

to make a list of them.

Third, make a note of all your home screen elements and where they are placed.

Fourth, download bookmark sort & backup by happydroid a to make a backup of your bookmarks.

That's about it, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

hi guys

Im a newb developer... working on my first project...

So far got a decent GUI done.... Using phonegap.... lots of time researching.

although i've hit a snag.... Google has not yet upped the app size limit. My app will be 700Mb

So for now i will need to host the extra content somewhere else and download it on the install of the app.

Can any one point me in the right direction.

the extra content are videos. Dont really want to stream it. want them to go to the SD and play it from there.

any help will be very welcome

My touch screen some times becomes unresponsive after playing Home Run Battle and Plants vs. Zombies. Its only the touch that becomes unresponsive but my accelerometer still works. I have to restart the phone in order to fix it.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Indeed strange, I haven't played any games on it so wouldn't know.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
i had a lot of problems when i used advanced task killer on my phone similar to urs. If your using a task killer uninstall it and pull battery on phone then pop it in and boot up again see if it happens.
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
I definitely had this happen the other day. I wasn't playing any games and I don't have any task killers installed. I was in the middle of a text message when a call came through. I answered the call and then tried to resume my text but nothing was responding. I was still able to flip the phone sideways but I couldn't tap anything at all. I had to do a restart. That was frustrating and I hope it was a one time thing!

[HTC Sensation] fridgeman:
I had the same problem yesterday, everything but the screen working, however rather than rebooting, i found that i could pull the top bar down then back up and screen worked again :confused:
[HTC Sensation] edis_feyziev:
this is because phone is overheating and the screen gives problems.

I think another charger will resolve this problem or if its `SW problem, OTA will be released...
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Your right. It only happens after my phone heats up from gaming for a while. It also happens when the phone is not on its charger.
[HTC Sensation] MoeKz:
I had the same problem (not those same games but in some apps and the security pattern lock). I just disabled the Tell HTC option and haven't had a problem since.

EDIT: Wait, when did PvZ come out for Android??
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Awhile ago. It's on the Amazon Appstore.

My screen doesn't become unresponsive if I play PvZ, but if I play it for too long, Sense reloads when I exit out of the game.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zyxw121:
I have a Vodafone HD2, and tried to run NAND Android on it many times, to no avail. I installed Hyperdroid GBX on MAGLDR, and made sure to follow the instructions carefully. It worked fine, and after a few days, when I tried powering on, it got stuck on the white Android logo. I took out the battery, booted into MAGLDR, recovered to a backup, but it still wouldn't boot, it was just stuck at the Android logo. So I did Task 27, flashed radio (Radio Leo 2.15.50.14), HSPL (2.08.HSPL), installed magldr 1.13, cwm 150MB partition, and the same rom (Hyperdroid GBX Magldr), and the same thing happened. It worked fine for a couple of days, then wouldn't boot. I tried the same process, with different roms. (Typhoon CM7, and Hyperdroid CM7) and the same thing keeps happening. I even tried installing CLK, but with CLK, I didn't even get the rom to boot the first time, it just sat there at the white Android logo.

This is getting to be very frustrating.

Please help me, if you can.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Which version of MAGLDR are you using?

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zyxw121:
I'm using MAGLDR 1.13.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Sorry,which version of CWM?

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zyxw121:
I've been using 3.0.2.5, but I'll try with 3.0.2.4. I'll get back to you on it in a couple of days.

Thanks!

EDIT: The link you gave me downloads a 120MB partition size, but Typhoon CM7 requires a 150MB partition. Is it still going to work?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Try KSUBEDI's TOOLKIT (Don't forget to thank him)

There is the ability to downgrade CWM

UPDATE

My phone froze, and then rebooted, however, it gut stuck at the white android logo. I waited for a few minutes, then took the battery out. I ran task 29, then LEOIMG. After that, I installed HSPL 2.08.HSPL, and tried to install MAGLDR 1.13. However, it was unsuccesful. It seemed to have flashed fine, with the progress bar going to 100, then rebooting, but after that, it got stuck at the white HTC screen. I tried taking out the battery, and holding down the power button while booting, but nothing works. I haven't yet got around to flashing CWM.

Do you think that perhaps cLK would work better?

Any help would be appreciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dawid.:
Try to:

Install MAGLDR 1.13

Download CWR 4.0 and flash it in MAGLDR: http://www.multiupload.com/VZ1WB57AOY

Download this rom: http://www.multiupload.com/8UPNV5WUZU and install it in CWR.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zyxw121:
Thanks, but I CAN'T install MAGLDR.

I flash it, and then my phone reboots and gets stuck at the white HTC screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zyxw121:
ANOTHER UPDATE

I ran LEOIMG again, and this time tried to install cLK. It flashed fine, rebooted, and then got stuck at the white HTC screen, just as with MAGLDR.

I really am lost here. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shankar10:
I would say do a task 29 and install wm6.5 first. then start the process from scratch.

Install this ROM this time.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915159

This is a closest rom as wm 6. Let me know how it went if everything is fine then you can rule out that your phone is fine. also make sure

your anti-virus is turned off. Taking this simple steps will help you a lot in the future.

Good luck

PROBLEM SOLVED

It seems the problem is, I was forgetting to flash the radio :o. So I did that, and MAGLDR installed perfectly, as did CWM. I'm just installing the ROM (Hyperdroid GBX) now, but everything seems to be fine.

Thanks for all your help guys!

Glad you figure it out. Please press thanks
[Vibrant General] Steprock:
As you may know, T-Mo just totally trashed their entire archive of threads on their entire board and stood up a "new and improved" system. Crazy...but they really did. A whole treasure trove of information...POOF!

If you're coming from that board, I am officially dropping you my card. Same username as on the TMo Vibrant board.

Anyone else?
[Vibrant General] FReQ Z:
The new site blows. The mobile site is utterly useless.
[Vibrant General] outlawbiker619:
I agree. The new TMO site sucks. But mabe some good news I read somewhere on there that they are going to try and get us access to the old boards!:D
[Vibrant General] Steprock:
Personally, I am stunned, just stunned, that a company that prides itself on customer service would take a thriving community system and summary scrap it.

In the midst of their impossible-to-navigate website, the community boards were the one sensible area where newcomers could actually get help and engage in open discussion.

What's worse is that they are asking people to grin and bear it and help rebuild that cache of knowledge...for a phone that is already at end of life! People who added to the site have already moved on to other phones, for crying out loud!

Well. Had to get that off my chest.
[Vibrant General] cyberpyr8:
I can't believe what they did either. Worst part is that they didn't even make it mobile friendly.
[Vibrant General] kawika:
I never really went on there much. I had found it a couple of times thru google searches when trying to fix a problem, so I knew it was there. I just always ended up finding more help on here. The only time I ever posted on that site was after I found a fix here sometimes I would float over and post it there as well.

Still its sad that happened. Truly a dis-service to the users.
[Vibrant General] Steprock:
Yes indeed. Heck, XDA even has their own app to log on to the site. How cool is that?
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
Honestly? I think they trashed it because of increasing frustration of users being expressed on the boards. Customer service has taken a nosedive this year. No-contract plans are going away, and customers are even being forced into contracts in many cases where they weren't before. My best friend was on a grandfathered MyFaves 300 plan, which is all he needed. They called him up last week and told him he could no longer keep the plan - forced him to upgrade or leave T-Mobile. They tried to get him to upgrade phones which would have locked him into a contract at the same time, but he refused that, still he was changed from a $29.99 plan to a $49.99 plan.

In my case, I'm on EM+, and was on Flexpay. They called me up and told me I now qualified for a postpay plan, so I took them up on the offer. The neglected to tell me the remaining year of payments on my Vibrant wouldn't transfer to postpay and slapped me the next month with a baloon payment for the remaining balance on my phone. Absolutely nothing to help soften the impact of suddenly having to pay what was supposed to be monthly payments, and to add insult to injury, instead of helping, they transferred me to COLLECTIONS where they demanded immediate payment (it wasn't even past due)..

And now that I've (conveniently) had to pay off my only obligation to t-mobile besides the monthly plan, after the 24th if I upgrade I would be locked into a contract as well.

The whole purpose appears to be to lock in as many users to contracts as possible before the fallout from approval/rejection of the merger happens, and to cover up as much bad press as possible.

I'm *extremely* not happy with T-Mo myself and this is yet another sign...

Personally.... I'm liking the Photon 4G and will probably move to Sprint within the next month.
[Vibrant General] Steprock:
Dang, sorry to hear that.

I do notice there are happy-faced mods running all over the place saying "Sorry to hear you are unhappy! Be happy with the new happiness in all its happy glory!"
[Vibrant General] Steprock:
All righty then. I got a reply from one of the guys at the TMo board who explained it this way: they had 2 competing vendors for the board who were uncooperative, would not allow them to get the archived data, and wanted to hurt them for leaving their system.

Do you recall what you had prior to this update? 4.010.08? seems to small to be from 1.141.07? thanks for sharing none the less. Many people will be happy to see something..
[Acer Iconia A500] Brutus2TheMax:
Alright just got home with my Iconia from the store, rooted. How do I flash this? Update.zip or flash through recovery?
[Acer Iconia A500] mandrsn1:
I am getting an invalid archive warning with this file. Anybody have any luck downloading?
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
You download it to your sd card and boot into ACER RECOVERY to initiate the update. you have to come from a certain build in order to use it though. Visit Vache's thread regarding OTA updates for more info.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
Downloads fine. Right click and save target as to wherever you want.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Be responsible and read up before you try to update unofficially.

.10 is an incremental update for .08 which is a

US Version

of 3.1.

If you attempt going from .38 or .40 which are foreign versions, you'll likely end up messing something up or having issues later on regarding apps, the market or future updates.

Likewise, if you attempt going straight from 3.0.1 to 3.1 using this update, you'll likely end up in misery.

Read, read, read. You've been warned.

Good Luck.

Update:

It's come to my attention through user qhinton that there is a full ROM update of .10. Note that the file kappen has posted is the INCREMENTAL and not the FULL ROM.

I have not verified qhinton's claims. Just keep in mind that you must now be extra careful not to update with the incorrect version. You may just be better off waiting for the OTA.
[Acer Iconia A500] =RW=Jalapeno:
Is anyone in the USA getting the update OTA? I'm still on 3.01 in Missouri
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Yes.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
That's interesting I'm running .02 here in the US Wisconsin to be exact and I just finally received a OTA straight to .10 which is downloading as I type this. Its about time.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
Oh and its 357 mbs
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
That is VERY interesting indeed, let me get this straight, you went from 1.141.02 (3.0.1) to 4.010.10? (3.1)

How big was the file you got?

I haven't read of a single other person getting such an update. Once I am able to verify what you've said I'll draw some conclusions. If it is the case then .10 must come in a 2 flavors and people will have to be even more careful about how they update.

It would mean there's an incremental (~47MB) version to take people from .08 and a full ROM to take people from anything earlier than .08.

Edit: OK you answered my question while I was typing it :)

So there are definitely 2 versions then, an incremental and a full ROM. Thanks for the information. I'll update my previous post.
[Acer Iconia A500] mandrsn1:
Thanks. Very weird it isn't working for me. I will have to try later when I get home. Maybe my WiMax connection is breaking the download...
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
What's even more interesting is that it said .10 when prompted to OTA but when I check system info it says 4.010.11 Gen 2
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
So I'm running .11
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
Please download alogcat from the market and run during acceptance of the update so we can log the ota location and make it available to the less fortunate.

If you can't figure out alogcat, Whenever you get an update prompt on your tablet, look in the /cache/recovery of your tablet while it's downloading and copy and paste the filename somewhere then you can post it publically and it can be downloaded from something that looks like this - http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_...xxxxxxxxxx.zip
[Acer Iconia A500] kappen:
I had 4.010.04 when it downloaded after I posted this I tried to apply it and got a error I just assumed it was because I was still rooted and had the Acer recovery flashed on my a500. I was at work so left it alone until I could get some more free time.
[Acer Iconia A500] kappen:
Just removed Acer recovery and flashed update again, it worked and I'm now on 4.010.10. I was on 4.010.04 prior to flashing.
[Acer Iconia A500] OLDCEDAWG:
I have been trying to install this OTA that you furnished. My efforts keep getting aborted. MY tablet keeps saying that the file is bad. and aborts. From this download file do you have to extract it or decrypt it or something that I do not know about?? I would like some information and help installing this update.
[Acer Iconia A500] silverball.slayer:
You could try doing a factory restore of your tablet in the system settings/privacy menu. This worked for me. It will wipe all your settings and installed applications so be forewarned.

I am beginning to NOT trust these Acer updates. My A500 was brand new out of the box and had just applied a small OTA update. I had to factory reset it again after that for the larger 330mb update to work.

Rob
[Acer Iconia A500] OLDCEDAWG:
I did a factory restore and it did not help. I still could not update. I really think that there is another step to process this after downloading.
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
Once you download the update, you must decrypt the zip file.

You can use this utility:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14209794&postcount=1

Once it's decrypted, unzip the decrypted file and you will find a update.zip.

This is the update that will work for you.

1. Download file

2. Decrypt file

3. Unzip Decrypted file

4. Look for update.zip

5. #winning
[Acer Iconia A500] powerx86:
Thanks for the utility!

I noticed there is other files in decrypted zip. I see the following:

Acer_A500_0.000.00_4.010.10_COM_GEN2.txt <--- Empty text file

AMSS.zip <--- which has a dummy.txt file in it.

Do I need these files also for the update also?

My Iconia has build Acer_A500_1.141.07_COM_GEN1 on it and is rooted. So will I stay rooted?
[Acer Iconia A500] jm77:
You don't need the two extra files, just the update.zip.

Also, you'll lose root, so you'll need to download/install IconiaRoot again (see my sig). Not a huge deal to re-root.

Hope this helps!
[Acer Iconia A500] UnicornKaz:
why not get 4.010.

11

_COM_GEN2 (full rom )?? and also the incremental 4.010.
