[G2 and Desire Z General] s0undless:
hoping the best for you but here's what happened to me:

Out of the blue my Desire Z stopped working: one moment everything is fine and then all of a sudden when i tried to turn the screen on nothing happened. well i didn't expect anything worse than having to take out the battery and reboot, but when i did just that only the home, menu, back and search button went on but not the screen...end of the story, i had to send it to the customer service wait for about 3 weeks (customer service in germany is rather poor because it is outsourced to another company) and get a mainboard replacement.

Maybe in your case it's just a dead battery, take it to the next electronics store and have them check if another battery fixes your problem...Good Luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] bombadier:
Silly question but you have done a battery pull?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jvvpc:
I'll go to my nearest 3 store next week to see if a battery swap will do it. I'm just afraid that it's the whole rooting thing that has caused it and that the warranty wont cover it :/

Yeah, several times :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Hi folks,

I found a way to add extra "alternate" keys to the WP7 keyboard. For example, when you press-and-hold on . you get the ability to intead insert ! or ? or -. Now, those are all very nice, but the , key has no such expansion, and there's no easy way to get to the ; ' " keys... so I added them as expansions on the , key.

The problem is, this doesn't work on Mango. I can still apply the changes (using ProvXML) but it seems that the registry key I need to set has moved. Since registry browsing doesn't work anymore, I don't know where that key went.

If somebody can look at a Mango registry dump or something and find out, that would be fantastic. I think the addition of user-switchable keyboard layouts is probably the source of the issue, but I'm not sure. The original provXML (works in NoDo), with path highlighted, is

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FingerKB\AlternateMappings">

<parm name="," value=";'"()" datatype="multiplestring" />

</characteristic>
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Nobody? I really loved having this tweak on NoDo but without registry browsing I can't tell where it went. If somebody has some way to dump the relevant section of the registry from a Mango phone, that would be much appreciated!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Joseiyo:
Something strange is happening to me. I always have installed 2.2 roms on my X10 mini pro with the same precedure: formating cache, wipe status and fotmating Dalvik cache and never had a problem; but now, with Gingerbread based roms, even doing the same, always appear my old installed apps and the roms don't work properly. I can't avoid this and I've installed roms even from the original stock rom and I can't solve it, i also tried to format the SD Card, and same...

Strange? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance!!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
Weird.. never experienced that issue before. I've noticed gingerbread gives you a list of apps when you set up your google account. You can tick boxes and it will install the apps without having to bother with market - however, the 'modern' version of market doesn't like it and is sllllooooooowww.

If the phone/sd card is wiped I don't know how it keeps them. I can only think you could try to move the apps to sd and then format it, then reinstall the rom.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Joseiyo:
I've tried to move the apps to the SDcard, and still the same. Maybe if I don't tick the Google option about Security Copy it won't happen?

Even if I'm not logged in Google, when I've just installed the rom and the android symbol appears (Touch the android to continue), appears my previous installed app IMO+ and Advance task killer; and when I get the apps list, several of them still there, but withot data, only the apps.

Agree: New market sucks...

Thanks for the help bro!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Joseiyo:
Here it is what I do always I stall a new rom:

1º.- Recovery mode (Clockwork recovery)

2º.- Wipe data/factory reset.

3º.- Wipe Cache partition.

4º.- Wipe Dalvik Cache.

5º.- Install the rom from the SD card..

6º.- Wipe Data/Factory reset.

7º.- Wipe Cache partition.

8º.- Wipe Dalvik Cache.

And... tachaaaaaaaaaaaaan!! The previous installed apps still there, but no their DATA...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gmlai:
I experienced your same issue. Maybe CWR wipe does not wipe porperly.

I solved this way: extracted SD from mini and formated from PC.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Joseiyo:
Thanks, i'll try wiping with Xrecovery and if it doesn't work i'll format the sd in PC.

Thanks a lot!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
Still using Xrec? Most ROM's now use CWM, D4rKn3sSyS recently released a dual recovery (xrec and cwm, depending on which button you press), it somewhere on page 1 at the time of writing. (sorry, im too lazy to go copy its link =P)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Joseiyo:
Yes, I know and I always use CWM, but when I wipe the apps don't dissappear, so I tried Xrecovery and a different version of CWM, but still the same.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gmlai:
My SD had EXT partition too. When I formatted it from PC I deleted that partition. New custom ROMs don't need any more to have a different partition to install applications on SD.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
Could well be that. Probably worth repartitioning the sd card on the pc.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Joseiyo:
Yes, I know, but I kept it just in case I got back to Stock Roms.

Thanks!! I'll try, but I'm sure that's the problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAMBO29:
Hi Guys;

I am considering to get a Transformer mainly to watch movies,short note taking and light gaming on the move. Would be great if you guys who already has it can answer some of my questions.

1)How much battery life do you get playing videos?(mkv,avi)

2)Is it possible to write on the screen to take the notes?

3)Is there a lag in using the transformer's UI? Is the system responsive enough?

4) Does the built-in GPS work well?

5) In the USB if I plug in a USB HDD, can it be browsed from the Transformer like a windows PC?And play movies directly from it?

6)For people with Dock how much can you open the screen to maximum?(Full 180 Degrees?)

7) When docking and undocking does the system freeze or become non-responsive ?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ademaren:
Hello, i will try to answer your questions by my personal experiencie.

1)How much battery life do you get playing videos?(mkv,avi)

Using max bright + wifi + max volume = 7 hours with dock aprox.

2)Is it possible to write on the screen to take the notes?

Yes, using some apps is possible

3)Is there a lag in using the transformer's UI? Is the system responsive enough?

The lag only appears on stock browser tipping with dock keyboard, the system is very responsive and faster

4) Does the built-in GPS work well?

It works perfect :)

5) In the USB if I plug in a USB HDD, can it be browsed from the Transformer?

Yes, i use a woxter slim 500gb and i have no problem.

-----

Get one but with the docking station (improves autonomy and possibilities) it will not disappoint you, it runs very fast, for playing games, for media, have no battery problems and the quality of the screen is awesome, the only problem in some movies is about the sound, but exists some apps and roms to improve it.

I think the 3g version appears on september, you can wait for it.

Sorry for my english :)

Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAMBO29:
Thank'd.

With Dock it only has 7 hours of movies time? Some reviews said even though it was not as good as iPad2, it could give about 7 hours without dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ademaren:
Yep, full non-stop seeing movies, about 7-10 hours for me, depending of the level of the sound/bright and if wifi is on or off.

I use it every night, from 22 to 5 aprox, and normally arrives at 5 o'clock with a 40% on the TF and 0% on the dock, only using the TF for video call and web browsing, with max bright and wifi on.

The best autonomy that i have seen anyhow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAMBO29:
Thank'd again.

With the Dock in how much can you open the screen?Can it be opened to full 180 degrees?Or is it less? And when you dock and un-dock does the transformer become un responsive or freeze?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wikid24:
Keep in mind, unlike the iPad or any Apple products, you can play any movie formats (mkv, divx, etc) directly from your SD card (which the iPad does not have).

Also there is GPU acceleration with the Tegra2 androids, you should have no problems with framerates in 720p/1080i/1080p.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ademaren:
120º :)

And yes, when you dock/undock it responses very very fast, less than a second to start using the kb.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZorAxe:
Howzit guys,

I brought a HTC Aria in the USA on AT&T network. I came back to SA and rooted my phone put Android v2.2 on (phone came with v2.1) thinking that would unlock the phone, but it didn't. I ended up looking on the net for a website that I could get an unlock code for my phone. Long story short, I found one, paid for it and it worked. I'm using the phone on Vodacom no matter what I do I can't get 3G or HSDPA to work, only GPRS. HSDPA and 3G work fine in the states.

After doing some research I noticed that in the Mobile Network settings on the phone there is 3 options under Network Mode:

1. WCDMA only

2. GSM only

3.GSM / WCDMA auto

Now from what I've seen I need to use WCDMA to get the 3G / HSDPA to work, but when I select option 1. I don't get any signal and then phone eventually switches to GSM automatically. I was at work on the weekend helping a customer with her laptop and she had a 8•ta 3G modem, and 8•ta 3G modems are currently running off of MTN's network I was told this by an 8•ta technician and I noticed when connecting the modem it said something regarding WCDMA.

So now my question, if I change to MTN do you think I will be able to use 3G / HSDPA on my phone?

Any info regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :P
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
The American version of the Aria uses different 3G frequencies (because that's what AT&T uses), so unfortunately your phone will not work with 3G in South Africa. There is a different version of the Aria (called Gratia in most regions) that is the exact same phone except it supports the correct 3G frequencies for your country, but there's nothing you can do with the phone you have now to make it work.

[EVO 4G General] spyd312:
I don't know if HTC will officially support Ice Cream for our Evo's. I just remember the issues that the devs ran into prior to the official release of GB. I hope I'm wrong because it would be great to have. I also wonder if our hardware even meets the system requirements.

If this (http://androidandme.com/2011/08/news/13-things-we-might-see-with-the-release-of-android-4-0-in-q4/) is correct, any phone running 2.3 should be able to handle ICS.
[EVO 4G General] sharkboy0901:
Evo 4g is close to its end of life the only way we could get this is thru roms
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
It's interesting at least that we may start getting hints as to what lies ahead for both Android phones and tablets. I'm sure the CM folks will end up porting, so we'll likely see it on the EVO 4G at some point.

Looks like it's mostly UI changes though. Wish they'd posted a screenie of the Gmail app changes; I love the app but the look of it is plain and ugly.
[EVO 4G General] Jlallman:
I honestly doubt the Evo will get ICS, we barely got GB, and its not like that OTA was welcomed with open arms.
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
I assure you, once source is released for ics, ill be trying to get it running on the EVO!
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:
Very very true. But I'm sure some talented devs would love the challenge of whipping up a Rom for the evo. But only time will tell

No doubt the Devs will come through for us, but im not so sure about Sprint and HTC.
[EVO 4G General] globen:
Thank god the evo still has lithid developing....otherwise most of the development would come to a screeching halt.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
HTC probably won't officially support it, but I don't doubt that other developers could get it running with the sources available. :D Also, hope there's some hw acceleration. But no kernel version 3 yet?
[EVO 4G General] MicrosoftBug:
Did I mention I love you lith!? Lol, no homo!
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Considering people have gotten 2.3 running on the G1, I think it's entirely feasible that the EVO could run ICS.

It may not be without it's problems, but I'm sure after some refining it could be perfectly usable.

"Now what's interesting is that both Samsung devices are mentioned as getting the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update, leaving the HTC built Google Nexus One out of the equation. So it looks like Samsung will have a big advantage over other Android phone manufacturers come this holidays when Ice Cream Sandwich is set to debut."

[EVO 4G General] blizzard1017:
I honestly think by the time ICS comes out we might have a SMALL amount of devs on it for EVO 4g but they will be just WIPS. Just my speculation btw based on past experience with other phones.

I for one hope I'm wrong as I am only half way through my 1st year with Sprint and have a ways to go for an upgrade. I'll probably do the partial either way next year to the 3D. By then the 3D ROMS will be in full swing and usable.
[EVO 4G General] nan239:
+1

So true long as there are a few devs still for EVO I don't see why we won't get ICS
[EVO 4G General] jonathan413:
thats gonna be awhile before HTC integrates ICS with sense.IMO

edit: I heard the next tmobile phone is gonna have a newer version of sense..might make it even sweeter with ICS.

is there a video guide around someone could send me a link to

any help would be great sorry for the silly questions

i know my way around a pc and im willing to have ago.
[HD2 General] p107r0:
first check the SD builds forum - easier as no flashing required, then pick one (e.g. ACA my personal favorite), read the installation instructions (usually just create Android folder on your SD card, then copy the build there), then run using any file manager clrcad.exe and haret.exe which are the android folder, wait for 10-30 minutes until 1st boot is finished, and done
[HD2 General] wolfie1981:
hi thanks for that do you have direct links on these you could put up

ive been reading about the SPL

MINE IS SPL -3.03.0000 will i need to downgrade???
[HD2 General] p107r0:
links are marked by brownish font by default, check my previous post,

as for SPL, HSPL etc., you don't need to bother as long as you run Android from SD, that's the beauty of SD builds, enjoy full functionality of android, without the hassle and risk of bricking your device

some general FAQs here and here, but if you want to start fast, you can read those later, installing an SD build is safe
[HD2 General] orangekid:
That SPL and radio version are fine, just download the ROM, extract it, click on CLRCD, then HARET, then you're running Android.

And ACA is by far the best ROM you're going to find :)
[HD2 General] wolfie1981:

[HD2 General] p107r0:
what's more to know for the start?

- no need to reinstall from now on, it's just that for now your device will always restart to WinMo, however: find yourself so called "android loader" to automate android loading, there's few of those to choose from, e.g. Android Loader v6.0

- connect android with your google account so your contacts and emails are synced (Settings / Accounts etc...)

- install Battery Monitor Widget, so you always know how much mA your device uses and how much battery is left,

- also search xda for tips on conserving battery power (e.g. disable 3G if not needed, switch off GPS, tweak backlight autobrightness in CM Settings etc.)

- be aware that for now the USB file transfer does not work, to copy files to your HD2 use WinMo or Card Reader or File Expert

- backup often: 1. invest in Titanium Backup, 2. from time to time copy data.img to your PC

- browse through the ACA FAQ and thread (I know it may be hard to read all 14995 messages at once)

All apps are installed on your card, the whole idea of an SD build is that WinMo still sits in ROM, while Android basically consists of two files (sitting in the SD\Android folder) which are mounted at the start: system.ext2 (all system files and apps) and data.img (all user apps and settings). From user point of view you won't notice the difference. Additionally, once you run out of space in your data.img, you can always resize it, there are tools for that, but lets put it aside for now
[HD2 General] wolfie1981:
do you have a link for the andriod bootloader??/

is it easy to install

many thanks
[HD2 General] p107r0:
all links are in my previous post, click on the brown text "Android Loader v6.0" to open,

installation is standard for WinMo: while in Windows Mobile, copy the .cab file to your SD Card and run from within any file manager, then it will guide you, also when in doubt search its thread for more info
[HD2 General] wolfie1981:
i have downloaded it there is no cab file when i extract it from the zip folder.
[HD2 General] p107r0:
you have this file: File Type: mskip_Android_Loader_V6.0 Final.cab? that's the one, do not try to unpack it on your PC, just copy to SD Card and then run from there
[HD2 General] wolfie1981:
the rar file dont show on the sd card??

do i have to be in winmo for this
[HD2 General] p107r0:
WinMo or Android?
[HD2 General] wolfie1981:
ive got the pc to see the phone now

but i put the bootloader on the sd card as the rar file in andriod mode and it dont show up.

do i need in winmo to install the boot loader
[HD2 General] p107r0:
I assume you have standard WinMo on your HD2, if so, method of connection with PC for files tranfer is op page 45 of user manual

now as for android loader (bbotloader is something else, I'd rather not try it now):

1. copy the "mskip_Android_Loader_V6.0 Final.cab" file to your SD Card, via file transfer (page 45 of manual) in WinMo or using card reader

2. in WinMo if you are in file transfer mode then end it (or unplug USB cable), other wise the card will not be accessible for WinMo

3. still in WinMo: run file explorer, go to SD Card and run the copied .cab file, then the installation starts

4. after it's done you'll have few new icons in Start Menu, one of those will be for loader configuration - default system, time to wait before default is run etc; one will be for direct android start (running the clrcad and haret for you)
