Hi everyone.

Can anyone help me by explaining to me how to delete a backup made by xrec? I have made 2 backups of my system so far, and I want to delete one in order to free some space.

Any help would be more than welcome,

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Nevermind I found it. Please close the thread and sorry!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acerulz:
u can go in ur sdcard and open xrec folder ...so before deleting do u know the Rom which u want to keep in it and the date when u did the backup ..coz until u wont know its a risk deleting the backup ... once u r sure then jus click the backup u need to delete by LONG PRESS then the options pop so u can select delete thru it !!

hope it helps....

Thank me if i helped u !!

I'm currently running cm7 1.5.2, whenever I plug in this external speaker I have it's super quite (media volume all the way up). It sounds fine on my I pod so I know it's not the speaker.. I think my problem is that the phone sees it as headphones thus making it a little bit more quite when in reality I want it louder.. Anyone know of a fix or workaround?
[Thunderbolt General] acowx:
I had a similar issue when using my TB with either an external speaker or a cassette adapter. I think my problem was that the TB thought it had a headset/mic combo plugged in and tried to use the external speaker as a mic also...

I bought this device (a TRRS splitter) which separates the mic and speaker into two 3.5mm female aux ports and plug my speaker/cassette adapter into one of the ports (green). Works great.

What exactly is the bootloader and what advantages can be gained by unlocking it? I'm new to rooting and related stuff, and I would like to know because I'm keen on rooting my device and, perhaps, installing a custom ROM on it.

[Milestone XT720 General] teruyume:
I have been playing with heapsize and minfree for a bit, and have noticed that in general heap size 40 allows intense app to run smoothly on the XT720, but the adverse effect is that background apps and some services will be killed because free memory on our phone rarely exceeds 70mb. in case if one app is launching another app, as soon as the newly launched app in focus, the original one will get killed, becuase free memory is not enough to support 2 apps at 40mb

example:

- when whatsapp launches gallery3D/camera to attach a photo.

- app installation/download got killed, while you using the market app at the same time.

I have tried several methods hoping to resolve this issue but generally in-effective:

1. reduce heap size to 32 or 28: result is poor performance on more intense application, and ocassionaly system slow down to ceeping (Maps/Game)

2. reduce minfree: end up having less free memory, creates massive lag when switching apps

3. increase minfree: important apps will get killed during operation

I would like to know if you guys have any finding to increase free memory, or suggestion on the parameters and more important if I am looking at the wrong direction. Thank you :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
UMA (called signalboost by Orange) sounds really great. I understand the Orange firmware update KG3 contains the function.

On Orange's website the GS2 is not shown as being oneof the phones that support it but if you look up the GS2 in the phone shop and then look at the list of its features UMA is there in the list.

So does anyone have signalboost and, if so, what version of the firmware do you have?

Thanks.

hi ,

i got nexus s (3g)

and i try to install a new rom, Rom fell in the middle of installation, and since my phone is not dead (no reception) after I went online I realized that what happened is a folder called EFS was deleted or changed, because it is not working, I did a backup the folder ... What can you do?

Thanks

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
If your EFS folder is damaged/deleted and you have no backup, you are out of luck. I don't know of any official way to restore it.

Search in the Sense port thread where apparently EFS folders were damage, maybe some hints in there.

I read on Google some ppl got lucky restoring their IMEI etc by deleting every remaining item in the EFS folder and flashing a new ROM using a fake IMEI.

DISCLAIMER: I have absolutely NO experience with it and strongly advise to do research before taking further actions. This is a too serious issue to try&error.

Sorry to hear that. New phones tend to get priority for many reasons.

Fact is, because the new HTC phones have been rooted, we know it's coming for the Evo.

You're always welcome to try to learn how to 'hack' and come up with the root method yourself.

Funny thing is by the time you get a different phone root will probably have been achieved.

Hi,

I am about to buy one of the above cases and I would like the opinions of those who have them. The plus and the minus of each of these cases.

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S II Accessories] GodfatherSadri:
Good post! I am picking between the two as well.. I am leaning towards the Case-Mate Pop out case because of the stand and how useful it is since I video chat with google talk often and being able to set it on the table and watch a movie or chat sounds great.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Kepster:
I just bought a case mate pop. Looks good and will def provide protection but too bulky in my opinion. And i didn't get a free screen protector!!!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Dimer81:
I'm using SGP hybrid for several weeks now, very happy with it.

One thing u should know about it is that curved headphones is problematic with it and some micro usb connectors might not fit the case (but will do fine after some shaving :D).

Can't comment about the case mate.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ExPLO88:
I was actually picking between the Case-Mate TOUGH series and the POP...

I went with the POP after deciding between the two, and it was because I liked the idea that you could set it down as a stand - for me it'll save having a cradle and at night like Im used to my blackberry having a large clock and I kind of wanted that feel.

But when it gets here I can vouch for its quality. Right now, im playing the waiting game...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] bryanchapman9999:
Would you mind quoting the measurements of the case ? I can't find them anywhere

Cheers

[Galaxy S II Accessories] blue265:
I also bought the case mate pop but also find it a little bulky. I passed my phone to a work mate the next day and he dropped it from a few feet and it didn't damage the phone whatsoever. So I do like it and I like the kickstand. But I am thinking of getting the Barely there case for when I want to travel lighter with less bulk. I always tend to get a handful of cases until I find something perfect
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Wanderer000:
I was looking at both of these cases myself last month. I ended up buying both to try them out.

The Neo Hybrid is nice, looks good and is very form fitting. Bought in Red.

I settled on the Case Mate Pop case, in White. It has a bit more bulk. My biggest fear is to drop the phone and for it to land face down and break the display. The Pop case has more material around the edges of the phone so if it does fall face down there will be a larger gap between the display and the pavement(a mm or less, probably). The Pop case is a little harder to remove as well but I think it protects more. My .02¢.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] faildroid:
So that makes 20 m¢?

Surely sounds like 2x10^22 Yokto Cents to me. :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sergiu84:
Just had the Case-mate Pop! delivered today (white and grey). It's very well made and looks and feels excellent (even the girlfriend said so), and although it adds a fair bit of bulk, it does seem to protect the phone quite well. All sockets/holes etc seem to have plenty of clearance so access to them and sound coming out shouldn't be an issue. Very nice case, especially since Amazon UK were doing it for ~£17 instead of the usual £25.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] googleme1:
looks like every time I use google maps it sucks the life right out of my battery why is this? Ofc i know that navigation will use a lot of battery but close to half of my battery for 20minutes is just way too much.

By the way with moderate usage and games does my battery usage look ok?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] googleme1:
Bump
[T-Mobile LG G2x] heysharon:
With the amount of gaming you do, I'm surprised at how little power the display is consuming. It might just be because you apparently don't use the brower much.

Try reinstalling maps. If the battery consumption was a little less dramatic, maps might have been staying active with the gps left on or something, but 50% in 20 minutes is a little much for something like that.

Also, the stock battery monitor isn't very useful. Try an app called PowerTutor, it's pretty amazing for diagnosing power issues. It'll tell you how much juice is running through each app at that moment, the average over x time, total consumption over x time, etc. Play with that and see how much power maps is using in the background. But I'd just reinstall the thing first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Google maps runs a lot because of some location favorite places or something like that. Its annoying.

I'd like to get the communities thoughts on this. It seems that to the app world the g2x won't get any support like it isn't relevant. Skype already added Sensation support for video calling, netflix we're still waiting motorola atrix has it, just got qik due to tmobile pressure (crap anyway). No google talk with video. Etc, etc. Is this device dead to the rest of the world? Seems like it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
probably for now

most likely noone wants to put an app on this phone since tmobile continues to blame apps for the ****ty phones problems.

i refuse to do my rom for this phone because i cant determine if i caused a problem or the dirvers or the phone itself. its just not worth my time.

THan again they probably work with the phone developers to get these apps out and i would bet lg hasnt responded or done what is asked of them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
I know what you mean. I have pretty much had my fill of the g2x debacle. I have had both the Sensation and the G2X since June 8, but I have finally decided to sell my G2X on craigslist. There's just no reason for me to keep it at this point, it's become more of a liability than anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jacob808:
well it's because all the exaggerated negative posts on this forum when the g2x was released and then when people google g2x and read this forum the power of suggestion leads them to believe that "yeah, there is flaws with the g2x" then they in turn start posting BS about so called "problems" on other g2x forums and then it spread like wild fire, making ppl who never even tried the phone to conclude the phone is a bust.

All the slanderous, false and exaggerated remarks about the G2x in the first 3 months never gave it a chance to shine and show it's true potential.

But those that know better, this phone is a Beast and definitley a keeper.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RueTheDay:
I've had the G2X since the day it came out. The only real issue I've had with it is a random reboot once every couple of days.

I'm MUCH more troubled by the recent trend of app support by phone model. That's the LAST thing Android needs now and it's mostly driven by DRM concerns rathern than technical ones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You can't be serious. Your saying that people are lying about their issues with the G2X? I had to purchase 5 G2X's to get a working one that didn't freeze or reboot a couple tines a day. If you want, I can show you my receipts for the returns so you don't think I'm a liar.

In my opinion, 1 out of 5 devices is not a good ratio. Was there people lying about problems they were having? Of course. There's trolls on every forum who don't own the device and just want to start giving other ones bad names. Are there people who have had multiple devices with the same exact problems. Yes, I'm one of them and there are people here who I trust who are reporting the same thing.

I agree, its a good device of you get a bug free version but lets be honest. Not everyone gets lucky.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
LG acknowledged the problems with the phone before it was ever released in the U.S. They could have salvaged the phone and their reputation if they reacted back in March when they became aware of the problems. Instead, things got so bad T-Mobile pulled the phone. I don't think they did that because of what they read on this forum. Even today, after nine months of coding, the best LG can do is a GB ROM with A Froyo kernel. That's what screwed up the phone, not "the power of suggestion." And with the likelihood of future LG ROM and driver updates being pretty much non-existent that will effect the devs working on the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deadstyle:
So all those lock ups, battery pulls and random crap was all in my head? Thank you so much for the clarity. I feel better now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
sorry

But slander is thrown out when the statements are true. so therefore its not slander.

But your right. i have seen many phones get pulled from the carriers because of false accounts of user experiences... oh wait i have seen phones with just as many problems reported that were never pulled. so maybe that makes this one worse of all time?

jacob.. not sure if you work for tmobile or lg but it wont work sorry.

the phone has a bad rep for a good reason. and the same phone over seas had the same problmes 2 months before it was even released here. so you can thank LG for releasing a phone they already knew had big problems.

Glad you seemed to get one of the few early release phones that didnt have the problems. but just because you have 20 dollars in your pocket doesnt mean every does..get it... just becaue your phone worked doesnt mean everyone here is making something up. tmobile pulling the phone is all the proof needed.. if you can understand that than there is really no hope for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I'll agree with this post. At first getting 5 good in a row I thought those with issues were nuts..

Then I received 2 bad ones after that, getting it free on a new line.. Nothing new on the phone and it froze and rebooted like crazy, 2 in a row... Now I finally got a good one again no issues.. So I had 2 bad out of 8. 25% bad vs good here, but its true, there are defective ones for sure that can't be fixed no matter what you do..... So ya its true there are good ones and there are bad. You will know in the first 12 hours...
