[Nook Color General] Sincitybronze:
As many of us know, the google calendar sync process can be huge headache that results in battery drain in the form of the ambiguous "Android OS." Interestingly, even if we choose to manually sync entries, there is no option within the calendar for "visible, not sync." Thus we are forced to keep sync running if we want to see calendar entries. Terrible design. I tried a few third party calendar apps but when you sync them, the stock calendar syncs as well and shows up as "synced, visible" once again. I would like to have my data visible and sync when I please. Seems like this should be easy to do. Perhaps this option hasn't been important for CM7 on other devices because those using phones rather than tablets have access to data transfers almost always, whereas we have to rely on WIFI to sync. How have others worked around this issue? Is there a way to submit a CM7 request for future builds?
[Nook Color General] Arbelzapf:
In the meantime, you can try ShutUp Battery Saver to schedule syncing. Makes the automatic syncing alot more bearable.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
See my response to your request in the CM7 general thread. I use Calengoo and turn off autosync and use "Synker" to set up a manual calendar sync widget.
[Nook Color General] Sincitybronze:
Thanks for the ideas, guys. I'm not really concerned about having auto-sync. I'm happy to sync manually. I did purchase calengoo and this seems to be a nice alternative to the stock calendar. It has a manual sync feature built into the primary menu. I set it up so that it pulls calendar info from the Google calendar directly rather than going through the Android interface (which I disabled). When I set up an appointment, the sync button is right there to manually integrate the data with the Google server. Works great and hopefully there will be no more headaches with the syncing and battery drain.

Also, the popup reminders in calengoo are really great to have. The reminder on a homescreen rather than the status bar is cool.
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
You are right. I didn't know what capabilities Calengoo even had. I too completely disabled my Android calendar and set Calengoo up for google calendar only. Turned off completely the google android calendar sync. The sync button on the menu makes it so I don't have to use "Synker" either. You can even set Calengoo to sync on a schedule you set manually if you want.

I even went so far add to "freeze" the google calendar and calendar storage apps with Titanium Backup so that they do not load or run. So far no issues for having done that.
[Nook Color General] Sincitybronze:
I thought about doing that, too, but I finally stopped freezing apps as a last attempt to improve battery life because some unidentified frozen app was indirectly related to the failure of the device to suspend properly. With no frozen apps (I just hide them with launcherpro so I don't have to think about them!), wifi enabled and set to off with screen off, and the crappy stock calendar turned off, I'm at 23 hours on battery, with 3 1/2 hours display time, and 46% battery left. This is much more acceptable.

Hey im on CM7 98 and when i click turn on usb mass storage the statusbar fc's. Whatsup with that. No USB?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I haven't had that issue yet, even on Nightly 98

Try turning on USB debugging, I had an issue earlier where I couldn't use the drives unless I had debugging turned on.

Try fixing permissions, usually solves my FC's.

Thanks guys i just switched to Faux's ROM instead. its really lightweight and close to stock and OCable. It's great, I recommend trying it out.

Anyone have the update file they're using at the store? Not the one thats floating around from July 18, its not final.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mcoddt:
I'm looking for this as well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
What lol? The one that's been floating around here as the op said isn't the one tmo is using on the sdcards or sending ota and final builds don't have the debugging tool.. So what's funny?

I too want the actual update tmo is using.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
The update has also been posted on the T-Mobile forums

Sent from my wickedly brilliant Virtous Unity BluMagic HD myTouch 4G using my fingers
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
and where would that be (in the forums)? The only link I found was to the test build (same one posted here).. again, any ROM with the debug tool enabled is not a final release build.

This is the OTA version and the version on the SDCards:

Software-2.09.531.1

Baseband: 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M

its what we are looking for, it is the official version being released by T-Mobile
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truckerdewd:
If it has the release keys, it is not a test build. But believe what you want as I'm done arguing and fighting with people. I have more adult problems to deal with.

I was stupid enough to update my phone to the "Official Gingerbread" update someone posted as the legit version. Do I need to restore my phone back to stock?

The fake update doesn't look anything like Gingerbread :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
There isnt much difference from the stock 2.2.1 that you had and 2.3.4 that the gingerbread update brings, minor differences in the notification tray, some item counts (like unread email) but nothing major. There are bug fixes, bluetooth for example but the majority of differences are not in the UI.

You wont be able to apply the official version since the version posted here on july 18 build number is higher then what tmo is pushing out it will just error out. You will have to find a way to go back to 2.2.1.. I believe directions to do that can be found in the thread that contains the version you installed. You are not alone, a lot of people installed that not knowing it wasnt actually the 'final' build, a lot of issues have cropped up including no email, gps not working and the radio being unpredictable. Hopefully you can go back to 2.2.1, just follow the steps in that thread.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
I hope someone posts this, it took a day for the G2 users to do it. I'm in Florida and I want to do the update with my laptop at night, I'm not going to a t-mobile store on vacation, but I want gingerbread!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
I update with the 2.3.4 that fooball posted then i seen a bunch of people post that it wasn't the same update that T Mobile is pushing out
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
You can go back to 2.2.1 from the 2.3.4 that football posted

Do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 follow the G2 method, when you get to the part where you put this in # /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.19.531.1 make sure you put the version you want like 1.17.531.2 not 1.19.531.1 . I did it and it worked you will need this file http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4fh01d/n/PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155771_signed.zip rename it PD15IMG and put it on sdcard.

What debugging are you all talking about?

I use gmail and hotmail both works, which mail doesn't work for few?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bupahs:
the HTC email client does not work, gps has issues, the radio is unstable, and debugging is turned on. The numbers do not match the final release version of what T-Mobile is pushing out OTA and via sdcards. If everything works for you then great, your one of the lucky ones.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
yes mail client works just fine, i use it for hotmail, gmail obviously works.

now this debugging thing, can u let me know little more? are we talking about usb debugging or something else?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
I'm guessing thats not the official OTA/update since it doesn't say release keys in the file name.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WOLF26915:
thats to downgrade to 2.2.1 from the 2.3.4 that football posted its not the update and yes it dose say 1.17.531.2CL277036 release keys Android version 2.2.1
[G2 and Desire Z General] blanthony:
Just an FYI the store update will install over the leaked version. I just got back from the store. Details are:

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3

Kernel: 2.6.35.1-g96de068 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number: 2.15.531.3 CL82286 release-keys

There was one other guy there getting the same thing done actually. This was at the South Tampa store on Henderson if anyone is wondering, if you are in the area. Makes me wonder since the stores update installed, if the "official update" leaked a few days ago really is, because it seems like I shouldn't have had a problem loading that over the leak, I guess I'll look at the details of that. They just install it from the SD card and I believe it was PC101MG.zip file from what I was seeing him do. If it installed as an update all my settings should have been intact I would think. Maybe it wasn't, I didn't pay too much attention though. Now if we can get a root for it! Maybe there is I'll take a look.

Well while I was waiting I messed with the G2x and thought it was kick ass. Might upgrade to that in January, if something better doesn't come out. I wasn't crazy about the more expensive Sensation,
[G2 and Desire Z General] zkid2010:
Bro the ota is meant to just patch 1.22.
[G2 and Desire Z General] blanthony:
well I wanted the latest build and for some reason I couldn't get the downgrade to work for some stupid reason, and then get the update.

I would love to have this app again. I had it on the fassy and was wondering if simply acquiring the apk and installing it would work or if I have to wait for crackle to get it to work. Thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
unless its a phone specific app (like netflix or something which only works on some phones) you should be able to sideload it (install the .apk directly from your sd card) and it'll work fine

would you mined sharing the apk.....please and thank you
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrmidnight:
If I had the apk I would share it, it is device specific as well
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
don't know if its the most up to date one but here it is, give it a shot... i don't know if our Charge build.prop files were modified to copy the Nexus S like on the Fascinate, thats how we got around problems like this on that phone
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrmidnight:
It will sideload, just not play the movie.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
meh you might be out of luck then.. what rom are you running? you may want to pm a dev like imnuts or Kejar or someone with more knowledge of android coding than me and ask whether its possible to edit the build.prop files to mimic a supported phone like the Nexus S so the market thinks you have that phone... I don't know whether this has to do with the rom, the kernel, or the market/app itself
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrmidnight:
Im good, not a neccessary app. Im running ee4 eclipse. Ill wait until they support the charge I guess

Just change your build.prop file and u can get it straight from the market... Search here on the forum for detailed instructions

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] redbullcat:
Hi guys,

I'm not able to install some AOSP apps in a stock HTC Sensation RUU. I've cooked it in a ROM, but beyond that, changed nothing; just so I could flash it via CWM and not loose CWM Recovery.

But the app doesn't install. I've tried everything:

Installing it normally - application not installed

Installing it via Root Explorer in /system/app - app does not install, even when I reboot. I have set the correct permissions

Flashing it together in the ROM, both in /data/app and /system/app - does not install.

The only thing I haven't tried is flashing it after flashing the stock ROM in CWM. I'm going to try that now.

So, people, any solutions? Installing the app works fine in Android Revolution HD, so it must be a file in that ROM that is affecting this. Installing other AOSP apps (such as Browser or Calculator) in the stock ROM works fine.

RUU info:

ROM name: 1.35.401.1

Android OS: 2.3.3

d/l link: here

The app in question is the contacts app.

Thanks,

redbullcat/Phil

[Streak 5 General] awexdasome:
I've just successfully replaced my cracked Dell streak screen and have also done some modifications. I've seem some dangerous post for changing the colour of dell streak buttons by removing the LED and re-solder with a new colour LED.

I've changed all my buttons from plan white color to :-

Back button = RED

Actions button = GREEN

Home button = BLUE

without the need to completely dis-assemble the dell streak then change the existence LED and risk damage to the phone.

For anyone who wish try it.

1. Remove the side cover (only secured on by double sided tape) and be careful, only lift from the outside edge and it will come apart, be gentle and watch out for the ribbon below (use your nail or plastic piece).

2. Cover each illuminated spots with a color thin film (I used red, green and blue as stated above).

3. Fit back the cover.

Job done.

I've also successfully changed my internal card to 4GB class 10 micro-sdhc. While the back housing cover was out, I've cutted a piece of the back housing cover off where the internal microsd card is situated and now I can change my internal microsd card without ever have to remove the housing ever again.

Update - replaced 4GB class 10 to 8GB class 10

Just to update - further progress with replacing an internal microSD card. I've just replaced my new 4GB class 10 with a newer 8GB class 10 in my Dell Streak and the process was very easy. No dis-assembling the Phone, No partition or copying files of any kind. I repeated the procedure as above (from original 2GB microSd card to 4GB class10 microSD card) and my Dell streak accepted the newer 8GB class 10 card without any problem.

Might be able to tweek some more swap space on the internal SD card.
[Streak 5 General] Kingpappy:
Hi.

Great Idea.I know that you improve storage but will this also help slightly with performance ?

It look realy easy.I have read other forums and it looks much more complicated.

Thanks
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
The plastic over the internal sd card can be easily cut with a razor/exacto knife if you are very careful and go slow. You can cut it without disassembling the phone. Of course the phone I did this to was already dead so there was no risk. I wasn't as careful as I should have been making two small nicks in the area adjacent to the battery cover. :)

Cut just a bit at a time. I did not cut all the way through I cut and used a pair of needle nose pliers to break the piece away. You can see the area to cut in the pics I have attached. I cut some extra out to make it easier to get the card out. You can drop the card into the phone internals if you are not careful.
[Streak 5 General] sdan87:

[Streak 5 General] deejayviral:
i have a dell streak with original 2.2.2 OS and i want to change the internal 2gb memory card with 4 or 8, class 6 or 10, but first i want to know something because i am new on this and i don't want to do something wrong :

- before to put the new card i must to format or if i copy the files from old card to the new card the phone start, or i need to make a new reinstallation of the os?

- if i want to reinstall the original os after i monted the new card for internal memory, i need to put the img of os on the new card or on the 16gb external card?
[Streak 5 General] awexdasome:
Mate, no need to format, partition, mount or copy anything to a new 4GB and 8GB card (I've not yet try out a 16GB internal card, will do in the near future).

* Download QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500 utility (Google search it) and unzip to folder on your desktop.

* Remove the old internal microSD and insert the new microSD Card.

* On first power on, the Dell streak will prompt an error message 'something like return to Dell for service', wait for a while and it will auto format your card then it will boot up into android if not don't worry and move on to the next step.

* Shut down your Dell Streak - remove the battery if you have to but put it back in.

* With the Dell Streak in an OFF MODE, press and hold Volume Up button while plug-in the data cable to the Dell Streak then release the Volume up Button (ensure the USB end of this data cable is first connected to your PC).

* Go into QDLTool3rd_20101022_GAUSB1A130500 folder on your desktop and excute QDLTool3rd.exe file, a new window will open up then select RUN. Should you get driver error then search, download, install and start again.

* On completion, you will have installed Android 2.2 with Baseband 350 on the Dell Streak.

* From here you can update to the latest Baseband then upgrade to any Steve's Rom. In my case, Simple Streak 1.2 ROM.

FYi, I've tried all available ROMs and not once yet does my Dell Streak brick beyond repair (IMO, I think it's very hard to do so unless it's hardware damage. QDLtool always recovery it for me).
[Streak 5 General] deejayviral:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Wickedcarny:
Ok I am heading to a 18hr flight later today and am trying to load some "digital copy" movies to my tab.

Before the TW update, I had no issues uploading the movies etc. Now when I try to copy them over I get messaged asking if I want to convert the movies or not. Whether I click yes or no, after the movie is done converting, I get an error saying that the device is busy and can not copy the files.

Now, If I try and copy anything else, including other movie files, it works perfectly.

Does anyone have a solution to this, or are having the same problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
Try selecting 'no' for conversion. In the mean time, you can also try an app called websharing and copy files from your computer to tablet without wires. The trial version won't expire, but it'll only give an option of uploading 1 file at a time.

Hope that resolves your issue. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Wickedcarny:
Thanks, Ill try that program.

Selecting "No" just brings up the error message immediately, whereas if I hit convert, it takes about 30 minutes and then says the error.
