[HTC Sensation] DensoYamaha41:
Does anybody know why is the battery percentage so inconsistent?

I am just switched over to the sensation from the HD2. I have had the phone for about a week now. The first couple of nights I turned off my phone because it was around 20% battery life. The next morning when I turned on my phone the battery percentage was at 33%. I have done a couple of other times and the percentage goes up about 10% after a day of use. My wife's sensation does this also. I am using the stock battery, and I am not using any roms or mods. I am monitoring with battery monitor widget and current widget to make sure it is not the app.

Anyone else notice this?
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
battery monitor widget is not anything official from HTC.

I think that is your problem.

I have never seen my % go from 20% to 30% without charging it.
[HTC Sensation] DensoYamaha41:
I thought about that also, but I will turn the phone off with the battery icon at the top yellow color, and then in the morning it will be green. So the widgets would have no effect on that. Like I said I have noticed this on both phones.
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
I have also had my batter meter go up after a reboot. Not sure why... The meter works good enough to give me an estimate or battery life. Good enough for me.
[HTC Sensation] DensoYamaha41:
I am not worried about it, but is kind of interesting how power cycling shows the correct battery. It must be some kind of glitch in the OS or something.
[HTC Sensation] plocri:
yeah, it happens to me too! For example, after a full charge the % stays on 100% for about 8-9 hours and after that it starts to decrease. About the % growing, it happened to me two times... maybe it's about calibration...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denzelnuke:
Hey,

I know there are a few threads on this but I haven't found one that followed through to a reported solution.

G2 rooted with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 since January of this year. Tried google goggles and the app locked up. I finally realized that was because the camera has stopped responding. When I pressed on the camera help, nothing changes for a few seconds, then it goes to a black screen. Eventually, (pressing on the back key helps) I'll get a force close/wait screen. Camera had been working fine the previous day.

I've tried clearing caches, using a different SD card with no changes. Used the opportunity to finally upgrade to CyanogenMod 7.0.3 and cleared all the caches as part of the flash. Tried the camera the first chance I could get the phone to that point. Same response from the camera (hesitate, black screen, force close).

So, is there anything else to try or is this a hardware camera failure?

Thanks for any help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumraden:
Try flashing some other rom. If that fails, then try flashing another radio.

I'd suggest taking a rooted stock rom and a stock radio just to be sure.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denzelnuke:
Thanks, but I'm trying to understand what any of that would do to fix the camera over what I've already tried.

I guess I'm looking for anyone that actually had a similar problem and either fixed it or failed to fix it.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumraden:
Well for once the stock rom uses HTCcamera.apk to open the cam. Since you are using CM7 its a completely different apk.

Radio is somethign that is responsible for almost every device on your phone. Then the drivers that are in the Kernel, and then the ROM which has the apk, that uses the driver from the kernel to start the camera that is defined in the radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denzelnuke:
Well, nothing worked. Unrooted and back to stock (camera still doesn't work). Replacement phone is on it's way.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsonjsyuen:
Hey guys, thanks very much for helping me out in advance.

I tried to upgrade my US Wifi Xoom from 3.1 (rooted) to 3.2 via the method posted by stachre here.

I made the mistake of putting the update.zip in the xoom's memory instead of the SD card's and updated it with CW Recovery.

I have a quick question as to what I should do next to recover from softbrick. This is I do not quite understand the whole flashing business. I tried following the instructions to flash stock 3.1 here but I didn't do anything about the 3.1 bootloader that it says is required, is that simply the bootloader fix that is in this post?

Should I:

1) flash 3.1 stock image and the bootloader fix? (I'm leaning towards this)

2) can i take advantage of this and just upgrade using the stock 3.2 image? will I need to use the 3.1 bootloader fix?

3) can i flash clockwork recovery via fastboot and then redo the update.zip?

4) is it easiest to flash 3.1 stock, "fastboot oem lock" then OTA and reroot once in 3.2?

What does "fastboot oem lock" really do?

cheers!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensetsu:
Hi i recently got a samsung nexus S, and i have not did any modifications to it like flashing custom roms on it or anything. So its straight up as original as it is.

But i seem to be having a problem with it now as it does not do a clean data wipe even if i do it with a hard reset? The one where u press and hold the power button and volume up. After that i tried doing a reset from the Settings section, it rebooted and came back on with everything still on my phone ! Nothing was deleted at all!

Anyone has any solutions to this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
Just go to settings -> privacy settings -> factory data reset.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensetsu:
yeah i did that, and it rebooted up, and everything was still there lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtdiver83:
Apps, contacts, and some settings like wifi info will automatically come back when u log into your Google account.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
I've NEVER seen that happen before, I honestly think you're somehow doing it wrong.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensetsu:
ok first a factory reset thru the settings option.

i went to settings > Privacy > factory data reset i dun think i can get that wrong.

when i do that it shuts off my phone. Reboots up, and i was expecting a clean phone. But everything is still there...

Nxt is hard reset, i shut off my phone, i press and hold the power and volume up until the recovery screen comes up, i select recovery, when the exclamation mark appears beside the android i press the power and volume up button again to bring up the menu and i select wipe data/factory reset. It says wiping...and when its done i select reboot system now, and it loads back to my phone ... with everything still there! hahah xD
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
unlock the bootloader, thatll automagically wipe the phone(and everything in storage).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensetsu:
hello, my friend just helped me with root/flash my phone, and the system supposedly did a factory reset.

But everything is still there =( im starting to think its a virus?

Im gonna scan it, but does anyone has any experience with these type of problems?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Like someone said before, if you don't uncheck it Google will automatically install apps from your market account after putting in your account data.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensetsu:
yes i unchecked it already, and i doubt google will put back all my mp3 and pictures even after i did a factory reset? I don't really think thats possible...

But anyways, yes i unchecked the automatic restore box.

sorry for the troubles im causing =(

*EDIT*

Do u guys think i would be able to format my phone by using my computer to format it like any other hard disk?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajorg:
Factory reset doesn't wipe the (fake) SD card by default. Did you check the box for that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
mp3's and pictures are not affected by a factory reset. to get rid of that stuff, do Menu > Settings > Storage > Erase USB storage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensetsu:
i did that too, i even did the hard reset which supposedly wipes all data? But i reboot back in and my pattern password screen comes back up along with my usual wall paper. All my widgets still there and its like i've nvr done a reset before.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
you're either not doing it right or restoring data from google... try doing it without logging back into google
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tensetsu:
i did not log back into anything, i even switched to a prepaid card to make sure i had no connections to the outside world at all lol xD

anyways derek can u please tell me what im doing wrong? I am sure i followed all the steps correctly. And the screen prompted me to make sure i wanted to erase all data, i clicked yes, and it proceeds to the "wiping data" but then when i reboot it back, everything is still there.

EDIT* I found a thread mentioning a factory format code *2767*3855# in this forum, i tried it, and it tells me connection problem or invalid MMI code. Anyone knows what gives?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
please download the stock images for your phone and flash them with fastboot.

Hi my original HD2 has the screen broken, i have seen some screens on a bid site, the question is if the original hd2 has the same screen as tmobile one??thanks for all

Need a fast answer, can't find it anywhere.

Problem is I didn't back anything up with xRecovery or anything,

to "hard reset" my phone so that everything is like the phone is new.

Thanks, HeLLaTec

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
Hi everyone,

i am very frustated about my external sdcard.

When mounting it via USB on my pc and copying mp3s or images to it i only get ~500 kbps, even an mp3 album takes several minutes to copy?

Any ideas what might cause this slow speed?

Goddchen
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darclite:
For starters what class is your SD card and which brand, an awful lot of higher class cheaper cards do not perform as stated. Especially ones from ebay.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
it this one from amazon:

wouldn't think that the no1 top selling card from amazon (directly ordered and shipped from amazon, not another company) would be crap?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
What rom you got ? i had abnormal slow usb transfer on my Nexus one before , it was from nightly cyanogen mod , flashing different rom fixed it.

Oh and i don't have such problem on my SGS2 with samsung based roms. (did not try cyanogen )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
Try reformatting the card in windows not on the phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
It depends on the card and how fragmented it is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goddchen:
i will try formatting it under windows, thanks for the hint.

in fact i am currently on a CM7 nightly, but the problem was there even before i flashed CM7 (from litening rom which is samsung based).

there is only 2 gig of data on the card so far so i don't think there is big fragmentation on it already.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darclite:
I have a 16gb class 10 bought from play.com and have never noticed the transfer speeds being particularly slow, however whenever i format my cards i use the Panasonic sd card formatter. A quick google should give you the software. I remember a lot of threads about the htc hero (my old phone) and the link between using the windows format tool and the write and or read speed being slow. You never know, It might be worth a try :D
[Folio 100 General] kattzor:
Hi, I've been lurking the forums for ever since I got my Folio two weeks ago. I've tried many different roms out, but now I've fallen in love with Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 RC0, everything works fine except for one thing. I can't disable the buttons on the side of the device. I've tried Dexter's un-official foliowidget HC, foliowidget and also foliobutton. Foliowidget I managed to get to work, but then I have to have Button Savior running which I don't want to (since I already have CM buttons and it's just in the way).

Do you guys have any solution to this problem? Can I disable the buttons in any other way or can I prevent Button Savior from running (since Dexter's un-official version of foliowidget requires Button Savior to be installed in order to be able to disable the buttons...) to just have it as an installed application?

Any answers are appreciated since I'm running out of ideas here. Thanks :)

EDIT: I've found a suitable and fairly smooth way of turning the buttons off.

Everytime the Folio boots up I have the app "Script Manager" run this script for me

echo regctrl=0x8800 > /sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor

which comes from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10709047&postcount=17 (Thanks Dexter, even though you're not here anymore!) The buttons do light up when touched, but they don't do anything anymore.

[HTC Sensation] jolined:
Recently I've been thinking about getting the HTC Sensation or the MyTocuch 4G Slide. I haven't had time to get to a store to check them out yet. Which do you think is better? I found a 10% T-Mobile discount online which would help too. It says "Switch to T-Mobile and also save 10% off monthly recurring charges, plus get your initial $35 activation fee waived and FREE 2 Day shipping". Has anyone heard of this before?
[HTC Sensation] BobbyWalden:
Do you know if this is only good for new customers?
[HTC Sensation] robotnoize:
Sensation man! As long as you don't get a dud. on my third handset but it's finally flawless.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
This is for student only. If you are a college student, you may want to check if your school has an even better contract with t-mobile than this (ask your school, not t-mobile, or search your sechool webpage)

My school has 15% off, and the rest of the offers are the same. Not wanting to wait for it to ship, I printed out the offer two weeks ago and brought it to a local tmobile store. They did the price match after confirming the offer on the phone with someone else.
[HTC Sensation] jolined:
I was curious about that. This deal says you just have to be a member of the site studentrate for the discount, and since you don't have to be a student to be a member, I was thinking you'd still be eligible.
[HTC Sensation] CB620:
Mytouch sucks & Sensation is the best thing out till the Hercules/SGS2
[HTC Sensation] greengoldmello:
I wouldnt say it sucks..its basically the sensation in a smaller package with a keyboard
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
That's correct.I got the deal and i'm not currently a student,just a studentrate member.They didn't ask for my school Id #.
[HTC Sensation] Moliang:
Got my sensation for free on midnight sale. I like it
[HTC Sensation] jolined:
Ok sweet, thanks.

I'm thinking the mytouch slide because it has a keyboard. I'm worried I'll have a tough time texting with the touch screen on the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] saynotopunx:
I was using the myTouch 3G Slide and thought the same thing. I've always been weary of full touch-screen phones without a keyboard, but with the Sensation's larger screen size texting on-screen is a breeze. Go with the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] jolined:
I guess I could always return in before, what is it 30 days? If I don't like it.
[HTC Sensation] MntClmr:
Can you get this same discount/deal in stores?
[HTC Sensation] OberonSnowcat:
I used to run a Desire Z because I was leary of the lack of a keyboard on most other phones but I got the Sensation recently because I wanted a solid, one piece, device and the screen on the Sensation is big enough, though it still does take some getting used to.
[HTC Sensation] jolined:
I don't think so, not the same one anyway. If you click on the link I posted it says you can get it by calling that #866 number or there's a link for the T-Mobile online site

Agreed, Sensation is the best handset on Tmo today (unless your handset has the touchscreen drag-ring problem).

More responsive, better looking, screen and cameras are much nicer, better software... it's no contest. I own both and use the Sensation, even when it has the horrible touchscreen problems (they usually clear up after a few seconds of frantic finger dragging but it makes it damned hard to answer a call).

Technically no. You can register on the site with any email address and if you call the #866 number for the T-Mobile deal, you just have to tell the rep you're a member of studentrate, for the 10% discount.

The rep was asking for my id number and the school I go to and stuff...???
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:

[HTC Sensation] jolined:
Renzo-

Make sure you're calling the right number, (866)464-8662, then select option 3, and tell the rep you're calling about the studentrate 10% discount. If they ask for a promo code or id # give them the promo code in the deal, 13997TMOFAV. If you start mentioning your school or school email address it could confuse the rep.

I think I might call T-Mobile today and tell them the phone is showing me a "S/W Upgrade" screen. I tried the LG tool and of course I got the damn issue. I've tried the sticky fix but I keep getting a constant error with trying to flash back to stock recovery.

So, I noticed some g2x owners on here calling instead LG. I rather just deal with TMobile. Are they aware if you tell them that your screen says "S/W Upgrade" that you might've used the LG Tool? I was going to deny ever using it.

Other problem is I have the CWM recovery not, not the stock. Have any of you sent back your phones with CWM and not had an issue?

hi guys!i hope that someone can help me...i have a strange problem...wheny i try to install a rom from rom manager the android with an alert triangoe comes out on my screen and i have to restart the device...when i did that the installation began but the device restarted and i had everything like before,songs,images videos and apps...

Someone knows why?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Usual reason is not reading the instructions .

You need to check that the rom is installable via rom manager .

Most instructions say flash via CWM and not Rom Manager .

But as you provide no details its all guesswork .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillyjack:
That's what happens,the rom is cognition 1.06 and i tried only via rom manager, and when i backup with rom manager i have to restart the device because of the android with the alert triangle for make it working...i don't know why it happens...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillyjack:
Maybe is cwm 4.0.0.1.5???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Well if i was installing Cognition rom i would follow his instructions and not make them up myself .

Stop using Rom Manager unless instructed to do so by the rom developer .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillyjack:
Thank you very much for your help...but what is the android with the alert triangle?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
It simply means that the phone was flashed with a rom, if you send it back to samsung like that they'll probably deny warranty work. To get rid of it you just need to plug in a usb jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sillyjack:
I knew that, it's another one,the green android appeared with an alert triangle when i tried to backup with rom manager,so i reboot and the backup started automatically,i don't know why the green android appears...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
That's your recovery. If you come into that screen, press the Power button short once. Or press the home button, you'll see a menu pop up. It'll probably say something about Signature Verification or an error with your zip.

Do not use Rom Manager on the SGS2, it is not fully compatible!
