music player doesn't work too. tried with few mp3's, always got ANR.

and i also have problems with connecting phone as mass storage. almost always after taping on 'connect as mass storage' phone keeps trying but nothing happens. sometimes it freezes and i have to pull out battery. it occurs on ubuntu 11.04 and win7, both 64bit.
[HTC Desire S] trismegistos:
I heard music today without problems and no one reported that since now. I am using Ubuntu 64 too and I have no problems with mass storage. Sure your scard is OK?
[HTC Desire S] deadwilder:
SD card is ok. i can play all those files that crashes music app with ES file explorer (it has its own bulit in music player)
[HTC Desire S] teddy_irish:
Never had a problem with both Win7x64 or Ubuntu 11.04x64

yeah i don't think it is an general problem or rom related..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
I like to uninstall as much bloat as possible, and I've found that on some roms with sense 2.1/3.0 that something I am removing causes neither sense nor launcher pro to start upon boot. My status bar is in tact but I can't access anything in it. I usually restore all my user apps then uninstall bloat ware, and I keep deleting something on the newer sense that causes this. Any thoughts or ideas about whats ok to remove on some of the newer sense roms?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
What ROM are you running? I'm sporting MikG 2.42, experimenting what I can remove and not. I'll have a list up in a minute, what works for me.

Do you want to get rid of HTC Hub, lockscreen and Rosie? Any HTC apps you want left in?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
I'm using MIKG 2.42 at the moment. I remove all htc widgets, rosie, htc location services, htc location picker, sense (Yes I have launcher pro installed prior to removing sense/rosie), htc hub, I don't remove htc lockscreen as I've found that doing so causes me to not be able to answer phone calls.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
Another issue I'm noticing, with 2.42, when I removed all the apps that were moved to data, when someone calls and my screen is off, I'm unable to answer, there is no slider or anything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Usually what I do is use Root Explorer to delete apps out of System/Apps then Data/Apps then I wipe all of Data/Data. Then I boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. That prevents the blank lockscreen/no slider thing.

I never noticed that stock lockscreen have-to-swipe call issue, thanks for pointing that out. Lemme flash back to MikG and tell you what I did leave in.. I always take out a lot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
When you peruse the system/app folder with a system level file manager like Root Explorer, I would argue that most of the apks that are listed are pretty self-explanatory and the associated icons also make it easy. For example: peep, flickr, Facebook, Twitter, FM Radio, Weather Wallpaper, etc. are well labeled as well as their associated widgets. If you are new to this, I recommend that you download and install the Titanium Backup app. With it, you can 'freeze' and app that you are considering removing but are unsure if it is safe to do so. 'Freezing' renders it useless and if you discover that you need that app or your device has become somewhat unstable with it being frozen, you can always "defrost' it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Unfortunately none of my cards will work in purchasing Titanium Backup Pro... It's so annoying. I'm considering calling in my free Windows 7 upgrade, starting fresh with partitioning my hard drive and installing Ubuntu so I can start cooking a little.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
This would explain alot, I've noticed with these combo sense roms, not just MikG, that there is alot of stuff crammed into the rom, usually leaving me with only 30 or 40 megs of rom space. A full clean out of the other folders you mentioned would make sense. I've gone to AOSP for now, mainly evo deck. Once I removed the few items in evo deck I didn't want like wall papers and ringtones etc i got the rom down to 60 megs. The sense combo's are so jam packed with extras that it really takes away from the speed of the phone. Evodeck and AOSP is so small and tight I can't argue with the results. Thanks for the information, I would still love a solid list of things to remove and not to remove.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xGary:
So I used MyBackup Root to backup my APK and its data (Settings, saved games, etc) but upon restoring, almost all of the apps give the (The process ____ has stopped unexpectedly) or something like that error. So I installed a fresh rom again and I tried manually restoring the apps by installing the APK from the MyBackup folder. And then I replaced the data/data from the MyBackup folder. But the apps still give that error. What am I doing wrong?

Did I backup wrong all along? or can you not manually replace the data/data/com._____ files?

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] HagbardC:
Hi Hello,

this is my first post in this forum and I hope you will forgive me my bad english and the fact, that 2 hours of searching haven't figured out answers to my problem.

I flashed my HD2 by using this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893620

Everything worked well and I'm really impressed of the performance my HD2 now shows.

My problem:

I wish to install APPS2SD and searched quite the whole Internet for a manual to do it.

But it seems all manuals are NOT for my configuration.

Due to the flashing process there is hspl 2.08 and magdlr 1.13 installed on my phone.

When I try to get in "recovery" via magdlr it says something like "missing source".

I guess something is missing but I didnt't get it.

So please can anyone show me the way to get APPS2SD installed?

Thank you!

HagbardC

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mutil:
There are many roms supporting this feature automatically when you have an SD-ext partition.you can try one of them.

Can anyone tell me what I would have to do (so I can avoid doing it) to brick my phone? I'm clueless about what I'm actually doing when following the instructions, so knowing in advance what NOT to do would help out quite a bit. Perhaps someone could recommend a guide for beginners on this stuff to help me understand these processes a little more. Thank you.
[Motorola Droid X2] K33pw1shen:
The best advice I can give you is read over all the comments and watch and tutorial videos if you can.... I'm never the first to jump I always watch and wait to see what everyone else says before doing anything .... the one major thing I can tell you is don't unplug or interfere with your phone when sbfing that will brick it ..... by the way WWW.k33pw1shen.WordPress.com is my blog with how to stuff on it .... its still under construction but there is some helpful stuff on it
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Read as many threads as you can, over and over if necessary. Then slowly, start doing stuff, re read if you need to you'll you fully understand a process. Happily it's actually really hard to hard brick, but not impossible. You'd have to really mess up.
[Motorola Droid X2] zsg1313:
Learn to SBF before doing anything...If you know how to do that it is virtually impossible to hard brick.

[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
Hello all,

Trying to find some info about some behaviour my Iconia has.

I love my device. Way more capable than my wife's Ipad and all that. There's only one thing that irks me: battery drain while the device is idle.

I also have a B&N Nook 1st gen (for books) and an EVO 4G. I leave and use the Iconia mostly at home, close to the WiFi. I'll take it out for long trips and such, but it stays close. I have it set up so that the WiFi antenna turns off when the screen does. Low brightness on the screen, will only charge the battery when it's low enough to charge, etc. It stills drains close to 6-8% if I leave it alone a couple of hours.

Earlier today I rooted the device and use Bloatware Freeze to freeze some stuff. Eventually I'll get rid of some of the gunk the tablet has installed. I want to figure out how to shorten that gap. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me that the tablet left alone consumes 8% of battery charge! I mean, if nothing can be done then so be it, I'll learn to live with it.

For my money I would bet that there is something hidden in the Iconia's OS build that thinks it is a 3G/4G device. Now, I'm wondering what would happen if I were to take the next (logical) step and put another ROM in it. Would this make a difference? If I can make the battery drain stop at 5% or less, that would make this perfect.

Thx!
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
I leave my device with airplane mode checked, and then re-check wifi (as airplane mode will initially turn off your wifi). I get no strange programs showing up in battery usage now. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
Will certainly try...

I'll try this next time I head out. Will leave her in Airplane Mode and will check the battery level when I come back.

I did disable the GPS and all location settings. I do not need it to know where I am, since I have the EVO for that.
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Right on, let us know if that helps ya out ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] tu3218:
Well I'm glad I came across this. I didn't even think about leaving the GPS on and consuming battery. Also, where did you adjust for your wifi to turn off when the screen goes off?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.
[Acer Iconia A500] GonzoCSU:
I am developing an app that uses bluetooth and I noticed that if I leave bt on my tab will go dead in 2 days, if I turn it off it can stay idle for several days before needing a charge. I leave the wifi on all the time.
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Wow I don't even have 8% drain with Wifi on all the time. There maybe something else in the mix. Most of my drain is the screen as I set it to auto and in my home it ramps up brightness most of the time. Is it possible you have a rogue app? Have you tested the tablet 'fresh', ie: after a factory reset with 1 google profile set up?
[Acer Iconia A500] pov1:
This is interesting, on 3.01 & 3.1 I've had zero drain with screen off w/up to 16 hrs. Settings : Wi-Fi disconnect policy never when plugged in, location & security use wireless networks on & gps on. Airplane mode , always off. I can't understand why you folks are having these problems. Hope we find out. Oh & by the way that's not charging.

Forgot to mention I use Juice Defender.
[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
Update

Well, after much tweaking I think I'm somewhere where I feel comfortable. As a disclaimer I don't take the Iconia with me on my daily commute. Again I take my EVO and my Nook with me. The tablet spends the entire time I'm out in the office at home, unused.

I disabled all screen animations and I'm using the tablet on the lowest brightness setting.

I disabled the GPS and all location-related settings.

I rooted the tablet and am using Bloat Freeze to freeze/disable some of the Acer 'junk'.

I put the table in Airplane mode before heading out.

Last night when I went to bed I didn't use it (I was reading a very good book and I did not use the tablet to watch any of my shows). So I put it in airplane mode after I played with the new Google Music app (Impressive!). I went to bed around 11:00 and woke up at 5:00. In this span of time, battery went down by 1%.

Used it this morning to tweet, check a couple of websites, email. Was @ 71% at 7:00AM. Came back close to 7:00PM. Battery was at 67%. Right now (8:50 EDT) it's at 1d 19h 55m on battery @ 59% charge. Heavy usage of TweetCaster, TuneIn Radio, Browser, Market, &c.

Mind you, it was not used for close to 8-9 hours or more. If I were to take it with me the consumption would be more, but then I would probably use Airplane mode when it was not in use. Besides, I can't use it at work b/c the wireless is not compatible.

I'll keep doing some research, but I'm comfortable. I accept the fact that it will drain regardless, since the OS is up. The previous consumption was too much, and I think I can live within the 2% - 4% consumption rate. If it can go down to 1%, though, that would be even better.

Any other ideas welcome.
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
beautiful Widgets comes with a widget to disable/enable wifi like we're all used to on our phones.

I loaded prime 9.3 today because I wanted to try a 3.2 rom (for GPS and sd-card reasons). On that rom I noticed the 3g settings were visible until I added the line "ro.carrier=wifi-only" to build prop. I was able to see cell standby show up in batt usage.

Not sure if you guys knew it or not but under battery usage you can click on the graph to see a graphical depiction of what hardware used the battery when. If GPS was active when it shouldn't have been you'll see it there.
[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
Interesting...

Are you suggesting that the 3g apk is active on the 3.1 image? I posted this question to a developer in Market that has an app that kills this on the Iconia. Maybe that's the other 2% - 4% I can kill.
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
Prime is a 3.2 rom. You could try adding that line and rebooting though.
[Acer Iconia A500] citizenklaw:
To the stock 3.1 image? Interesting. Any instructions?
[Acer Iconia A500] dottat:
You'll need an app like root explorer that will let you mount the /system partition as read/writeable. In the /system directory there will be a build.prop file that you can open with a text editor (root explorer has this feature built in). You'll see many "ro.xxx" lines. At the end of the first group you'll just need to add the line "ro.carrier=wifi-only" without the quotes. Save and exit the file. Reboot tablet. On reboot, it will read the values in build.prop.

On the prime 3.2 rom, the settings for mobile networks are visible without that line added to build prop. I was actually seeing cell standby in the battery usage list. I never saw that on the stock rom. I use a toggle button for the wifi to quickly turn it on/off from the home screen and that keeps wifi from using any battery while sleeping..

I really doubt that GPS is the culprit in your case. Did you click on the battery usage graph to see what hardware was using the battery during the period of sleep?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Also remember

The % charge that the system reports is not always a very accurate indication of how much charge your system actually has - what matters is up time and how long you can go between charges.

Airplane mode is your friend - no real need to disable animation (has nothing to do with idle charge) - the only thing I do is enable airplane mode when away from charger and not using my tab - some of the drain you are reporting could be due to your system scanning for open hotspots.

Also remember all it takes is one poorly coded app to totally screw your battery over - as you are rooted, quite easy to check for apps that relaunch themselves even after closed, apps that want to phone home every 60 seconds - etc.

Would highly recommend you take a close look at any non-stock apps that you have installed.

I think I *might* have found the issue...

Having done a wipe, re-install, re-partition, re-install, wipe, I've noticed something...

Restoring the SMS/MMS?APN data (to get SMS messages back) using Titanium Backup, somehow corrupts the KGx modems, whereas the KFx modems restore this data fine.

I'm still to test this thoroughly, as the other issue related to 2G to 3G handover, but so far, on 2G only, it now seems more stable on KG6 than it was.... still slightly lower than KF2 gives though
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Why did you repartition?

Because there were too many "odd" things going on with the modem files, and a re-partition is the best way I know of to ensure a completely "clean" base ROM

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtab55:
Hey, I recently joined XDA, coming from webOS and want to begin android developing. I am looking to buy a 10.1 for personal use, but I am wondering if i should get the 4G/3G/Wi-Fi or just Wi-Fi. I travel quite a bit, but also carry a novatel mifi from sprint for 3G (I get no wimax in my area). I would do mostly web browsing, multimedia, gaming. I have my phones on verizon, and would get an 8% discount off of the monthly bill.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njfoses:
Imho if you already have a mifi just get the wifi version and tether. Why pay another monthly bill if you dont have to?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtab55:
I was just wondering if I should get 4G access, but you make a good point.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_licious:
It would be a pricy upgrade just to get the 4G speed. The LTE tab costs $130 more right up front (16gb model) plus $30/month for the cheapest data plan. So you would be paying $360 each year just for the plan plus $130 more right up front for the device. If you have $500 to spend on faster internet while on the road go for it otherwise I'd just use your mifi with a wifi tab.

I checked the temp, which was about 48.9*C and battery health said "overheat"...turned off Barnacle, and literally within a minute, temp was down to 44-45...
