[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravens97:
It all looks very complicated, but i think i should be able to follow it! When you root the phone do you still get like all the normal android stuff? Market and etc? I know thats probably a stupid question but i really know nothing about rooting phones. Also do you get the like HTC Apps, Eg "Facebook For HTC Sense" and etc?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Rooting your phone doesn't change anything other than giving you access to the root directory in your handset, which is required in order to flash a custom rom. Then its up to you to choose a rom that suits your needs. Have a browse of the roms that are available. make sure you choose a sense based rom if you're looking for sense apps. I personally prefer aosp roms as they're based on the pure android releases and I find the sense roms to be a bit laggy. Currently using cyanogenmod 7.1 and its awesome, fast and stable! Keep in mind that facebook, gmail etc are still available on the aosp roms, you don't need sense for those :)

Ive managed to successfully route my phone :D and added a custom ROM to. I added the CoolSense one :D. However now i have Hardly any memory on my memory card now :/. I only have 500MB free. And thats without my pictures, apps and etc :/. If i were to get a new SD card. How would i go about getting all the ROMs and that to the new SD card. Or would i have to do it all over again?

LeeDroid HD is a direct port from Desire HD to Desire. If you flash this rom, your phone will have all the software features of Desire HD, including the camera app.

Just remember that Desire HD has 8MP camera and more RAM, so it will always capture better pics and function more smoothly.

Heres an idea. Instead of spamming the q&a section about the gingerbread update again, I suggest you go find the other 7 or so threads on gingerbread and find out for yourself.

sorry :/ i just really want this peice of **** software off my phone, quick question is there any way to fake a bootloader ( eg make the boot loader in the 2.2 ruu seem like the 1.xx boot loader you get with the 2.3.3 update but its actually the 0.94 bootlader ? if you get what i mean, maby that way the ruu would flash propperly and i would be back on 2.2 )

Do gameloft games play well with tiamat Tom?

I read somewhere that they don't play on rooted devices. I really want to root my zoom but if I can't play gameloft games...

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Javi22:
I have installed this app, and is working very well, I can call and recive and its great :p

Buut, there is something that I dont understand. I only want to be "online" sometimes, because when viber is On is consuming quite battery. So I go to more-> Exit. I close the app and the icon in the notification bar dissapear. But, 15 seconds after that, the icon appear again and says "viber connected". :confused: Even If the icon does not appear, they can call me so the app still active. How can I close?? because I want to save battery...I dont need to be all time online

other thing: I only use wifi for internet, dont have 3g. So, when I disconnect to any network, the viber status appear like "Viber dissconected", its normal, but I want to know If Viber still consuming my battery or not?

To finish, I have to say that I can notice the battery drain but If I go to android settings->Battery status-> what is using my battery-> here dont appear Viber, only Wifi, brightness, etc...

Thank you guys for the help :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] yukice:
i always have viber (together with whatsapp and textfree) on when i'm on wifi and it seems to only have minimal battery drain. and it doesn't seem to be affecting my battery when it's disconnected or with wifi off.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Viber Team:
Hi @Javi V12

This is a member of the Viber dev team.

First, as far as we know, Viber doesn't consume much battery when idling. You can test it and show us the actual numbers, and you'll see that battery drain is minimal.

About the notification bar - the new version in Market, Viber 2.0.2, has an "Exit" button that closes Viber and prevents Viber from running again. The reason you are still getting calls/texts while Viber is shut off is thanks to the C2DM mechanism (Google), that opens up applications upon certain triggers.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Javi22:
Thank you very much for your help.

Ok maybe the drain during idle is not too excessive, does exist drain but is normal. But I want to know, should Viber appear in the battery stats or not?

And, I can exit the app as you say, it's a good function, thank you. So if I exit the app, will consume any battery or not? Btw, even if I exit they can call me but only if I have the screen unlocked. It's strange, I suppose the reason is the c2dm that you say.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Viber Team:
@Javi V12

You are welcome!

Viber should not appear in battery stats (just like other apps don't, at least in the devices we checked).

About C2DM - it should work even when your phone is locked (that's practically its point). We've just tested it here again on several devices, and found that it works fine.

Do you not get Viber calls/texts when your Viber is shut off, and the phone is locked?

Which device? Which Android version? (or ROM)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kenninaz:
this might be a little out of place, but was hoping someone from the viber team can tell me if there's any social networking sites for viber where i can see the network status? viber has been down the whole morning and i hv no idea why.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Viber Team:
Sure there is, on Facebook :)

http://www.facebook.com/viber --> we provide updates and statuses on Facebook around the clock there (and you can also consult with other users to compare problems). I recommend you to follow us there, but for more in depth discussions about Viber, you should still post messages here on XDA.

About the problem this morning - we're having temporary issues with our server - we're working hard to fix it right now. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope it will be back up and running soon.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] naturist:
Excellent support from you guys. I never thought viber support exist here. Great thanks for you guys and hope viber rocks in future too. Good luck.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastaeit:
Hello Viber Team, I'm just wondering will it ever be a way to recognize if the other viber user is on viber or not, smth like when the user is not connected and I want to call him, the viber tell me this user is not on viber now.

I hope you will understand my questions, sorry for the bad english.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Viber Team:
Yes, there will be such option in the future (online indicator).

In the meanwhile, you can know whether or not the user is online in an indirect way: if you call someone and you see "Ringing..", that means that his phone is literally ringing - meaning he's online. If you only see "Calling.." then the user is probably offline.

If you get a message that the user doesn't have Viber installed (while you know he clearly does), then try the following workaround:

Enter Viber and find a person you know has Viber in the "All" contact list. Enter his details, change a digit, save and exit. Then enter his contact again, change the digit back (to the original, correct number), save and exit. Wait about 10 minutes and see if he's recognized as a Viber user now.

If it doesn't work, please try manually dialing the number in its FULL format (including the "+" sign, the country code, area code, etc.)

Anyway to fix my brick? I used Odin to restore my phone back to stock, and then used kies to update it back to the latest (none rooted) build, after said it was done and needs to restart but my phone was black screen and now wont turn on. No matter how long it charge/hold down any combination of buttons / anything it does no turn on not even light up black its like if it is completely dead, can anyone tell me how this could have happened everything updated fine.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3572053:
I don't know how it could have happened, we take your word for it. I know you said you tried different button combinations, but have you tried to get into download mode? If that doesn't work, try using a jig to induce the phone into download mode. If that doesn't work, you can probably have it jtagged. Or buy a nexus s :-))
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner2007:
Yes I can't get no response not even download mode, ok how do I jig and jtag? any guid so n how to do it, i'll try anything before having to run to tMobile and saying an update broke it lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantThemer:
It sounds like you destroyed the bootloader. I was in the same situation when I flashed the GB bootloader by checking the reboot checkbox. To get back, I removed the battery, hold vol up + vol down + power, launched odin, plug usb, and slide the battery in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner2007:
Tried it, and just tried it again, no luck, no response, im almost certain its hardbrick, and I am willing it jtag it if I can =/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantThemer:
Try the following steps:

1. Removed the battery

2. Plug the usb to you pc and phone

3. Hold vol up + vol down + power

4. Slide the battery in

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archie53:
How old is the phone? Could it still be under one year warranty from Tmobile? If it is still within one year call up and tell them you tried to update with Kies and it screwed your phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanner2007:
It is, small problem, small crack on lower left part of screen, almsot not noticable but with that idk if im have to pay some huge amount of money with I don't have and if i have to id rather by a new phone..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaviero17:
I was in the same situation. Any of the methods mentioned before don't worked for me because you have a hard brick.. your only option is a RIFF Box JTAG.

I send my phone to this ebay seller and he repair my phone the same day and the same day he ship me back my phone.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aku88:
Hey guys,

I bought my HTC Desire a year ago and back then, I was always able to get a full day's worth out of my battery, even with mobile internet always on. However, as of last week, my battery can't seem to last even more than 10 hours without it dying on me.

I know a battery weakens over the years but does it really happen as quickly as one year? Should I buy a new battery for my HTC Desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
There's too many variables but yes depending on those variables the battery can degrade pretty quickly. One thing that can kill it is not letting it charge fully before disconnecting it from mains power. I had the same issue but since going to Cyanogenmod ROM I'm getting much better battery life :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aticatac:
timmaaa's right. There are several variables to consider. Just from the top of my head:

* Is 3G / GPS / Wifi switched on?

* What ROM are you using?

* Every application draws current. So:

* Check your running applications? Do they synchronize with internet sources? How often?

* How many widgets are you running on your screens?

* Check your battery stats

The list is endless.

Running GingerVillain I am getting up to 36 hours of battery.

So, your mileage may vary wildly very much depending on some or all variables above.

Cheers

Peter
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmarcus:
I agree with aticatac, in that there's many variables that can make you lose power pretty quickly. Follow all of the guidelines about switching off wi-fi when not in use, checking how often apps are updating (like facebook and such) etc.

I found the following link that had lots of info on extending battery life: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755903

Read it and see what you think.

Personally, after reading most of the above link what I did was...

1. Charge phone whilst switched on until the green led was lit to show it had full charge.

2. Unplugged usb, turned off phone and then plugged it in again. Took about fifteen minutes for the led to turn green again to show it was fully charged.

3. Started phone and booted into recovery, then wiped my battery stats.

4. Booted up as normal again.

Seemed to work for me. Was getting down to about 25% after a full days use, now getting about 40/50% after a full day.

Worth a try.

ok, I know that rooting have lots of advantages

but this is my first android and you can say that I am noob

and I wanted to know what is worst thing about rooting?

also there are lot of question in my mind :confused:

if I root my lg optimus one

1.having 2.2.2 (india) can i unroot it again and which app is most suitable for this?

2.is this illegal?

3.I know this thing void my warranty but any problem happen to my mobile mobiler repairer will repair it?

4.I know this thing void my warranty but if any problem happen to my mobile will mobile repairer will repair it?

5.can I update official firmware of lg optimus one 2.3?

I also heard that

there is app2sd app that can move any application to sd card is that true and how?

my mobile have 2gb memory card I want to replace it with 4 gb memory card and I don't want to lost :confused::confused::confused::confused: my applications with there save files and there is no space in my mobile to moving it there

what should I Do?

thanx in advance
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
1. You can unroot after rooting. Use Gingerbreak app to root/unroot.

2. No it's not. If this was illegal, there would not be such a big community supporting it.

3. If you do all the steps properly, you will have no problems with your phone. Even if your phone gets bricked, tell the LG care person that you messed up with your phone while updating the firmware through the LG support tool.

4. You've repeated the same question twice :D

5. Yes you can. Download the official firmware from the forums and flash it through KDZ.

And please don't open up new threads like this for such basic stuff. Read the forums and use the search button. See this thread first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901247
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
There is app2sd which will move the whole stuff into external memory. I've never used it and never thought of using it. If you want to store the apps on your memory card, you can move all of them if you use a Cyanogenmod 7 based ROM. And regarding your stored data, I've no idea as I never had to buy another card from the one I got with the phone. Again, please search the forums.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] aspee:
ok thank you I rooted my lg optimus one using gingerbreak.apk

but there is a problem when I install busybox installer and when I click on install

they said sd card is not plugged in?install failed

also rom manager tells

error while downloading from server or sd card has not enough space

what to do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:
Did you restart phone after installing GingerBreak.apk ? Did your sd card mounted?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:

but busybox repeats same thing again and again what to do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:
Make sure that your phone is not plugged into the pc and check if your sd card is mounted. Otherwise check available space on your card.

all things now work perfectly but there is a little bit problem :-)

I install clockworkmod recovery on my lg optimus one using rom manager

but when I select boot in recovery or backup current rom phone reboot

and black screen comes with saying

"fastboot" and here they also right something

I think I bricked my mobile but then I found forum saying is is possible to unbricked

I followed there step and yep my android boot again

then I again installed rom manager and clockworkmod recovery

and select backup rom but same things happen again?

this happen again & again what to do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
don't do it again and again, that might cause a permanent brick. Try this

Switch off your phone and try to enter recovery via 3 button combo i.e home+vol. Down+ power button.

If it boots into recovery, its good then :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vshash411:
try amonra instead of clockworkmod.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
ROM manager is useful only when you need to flash a recovery. Once you're done with flashing ClockworkMod recovery, just kick the hell out of ROM manager and never use it again. It is one of the ****tiest app around. After the recovery is installed, you can use it always. It will be easier than messing around with ROM manager. Good luck!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Yes amonra can be used as well. But the issue mentioned here happens with ROM manager and clockworkmod works like a charm.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Generally when we fix the fastboot semibrick, we actually flash the recovery img of amonra. If someone wants CWM after fastboot fix, replace the amonra recovery image file with CWM's img file :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dr.notor:
If you cannot live w/o GUI for recovery flashing, check Flash Image GUI.

ROM Manager is complete fail when it comes to this. :rolleyes:

So, as this thread proves once again, the biggest disadvantage of rooting are threads like this. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:
if you did right root you should see superuser app in app menu. if you install sucessfuly cwm, then restart your and after your will be booting up hold power+vol. down and home. You get recovery. Confirm, if you get into the recovery.
