[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenryhen:
Sorry to lump this all together, but I couldn't find an appropriate thread to append these issues too without threadjacking.

Last night I changed from Liberated Froyo to the latest build of CM7 for my Aria. It booted fine and everything looked spiffy, but I quickly realized I had 3 problems. I have run fix_permissions, but these problems remain.

First the long press on the power button doesn't bring up the power down pop-up. I don't want to do a battery pull for fear that it also won't power on either.

Also, all my contacts are scrambled. The contact will show a pic, have the name of a different contact, then the details of a third contact. If I try to edit it, the contact name in the details are correct, but when I save it, it still shows up in the contact list as the wrong name.

The last one, I'm not as concerned about. Even after sleeping the screen for over an hour, the lockscreen doesn't come up.

Any help would be appreciated!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
First of all, I'm assuming you did a clean install when moving from Liberated Aria to CM7. If not, you need to. I don't even think it would boot if you didn't, but perhaps if it does boot, that is the real issue there.

Even if you did, it's possible something was left behind from the old install. Try going back into CWM and doing the following (this will do a clean install again -- backup with Nandroid first).

1) Wipe data/factory reset

2) Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache

3) Partitions menu > format system

4) Install Cyanogenmod zip from sdcard

5) Install Google Apps zip from sdcard

6) Reboot

Formatting the system partition can sometimes solve weird problems because CWM 2.x doesn't properly format it when installing ROMs that use edify scripting (including CM6, CM7, and Liberated Aria 2.2.2). As a general rule of thumb, any time you are doing a clean install, you might as well format the system partition manually since it won't cause a problem but might fix one. Hopefully this works for you.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenryhen:
Not sure this counts as good luck, but I've also got the battery drain going on, but I found the wiki page that addresses that. But since the battery ran down, I discovered that the power button _does_ work to turn the phone on, and the long press and contacts problem have seem to resolved themselves. Waiting to get home to check on the lock screen.

Thanks for the tip though. I wasn't aware of that, so it's a good thing to keep in my back pocket if I get any more weird behavior.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
I did a factory reset and it wiped my internal SD as expected, but it also wiped system files I backed up on my external SD but not my music? Is there a way to store titanium backups so they do not get erased?

Sent from my Infuse. It is what it isn't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wvcraft:
You can sync it to dropbox or drag and drop the file to a computer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Bronk93:
I figured it out. Doing the factory reset in recovery doesn't wipe internal storage versus doing it from inside the phone does.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Blackberrynomore:
You can change where TB stores its backups and move them to the external SD card.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
I previously used Google Voice with no issues on my HTC Eris but when I try and set it up on the T-Bolt, it tells me it can't automatically do the req'd steps to configure it.

I searched this forum and only see (1) topic specifically related to GV, but not this issue. I also followed this guide, with no success. When I call my cell #, neither VZW voicemail nor GV voicemail pick up !

Oddly, whether I have GV or VZW selected, when I call my # and don't pick up, I get a female voice that says:

"Please enter the number you wish to dial followed by the # sign"

Anyone have any luck ?

Hello to anyone..Sorry for my english but i'm Italian ..I'll try to make me undersand.

Yestreday , someone have stoled my HD2 :eek: and now i've some question for you..

1) I've reporter the robbery to ITA police but i haven't given them the IMAI code.

2) There is the possibility to find the phone myself ..

If is true.. how can i do?

I may say u , that i haven't gps or tracking device or application installed into my HD2 . I have disabled my SIM card but not locked the phone , with the hope to find it with my gmail latitude account..:confused:

If i lock the phone , becomes impossible find it with GMail latitude account ..

My question is this..

There is a HTC product that allows to find the phone with serial number and my personal credential ?? or is better lock the phone without wasting time?:cool:

..LOL ---angry -italian and not very pratical as U....I hope u have understand my thread...

Bye for now....From ITA..

Wondering if the Snapdragon SoC can do a better job than the Tegra2. Has anybody tested some high profile 1080p?

Thanks.

[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Even 1080p High@L4.1? If that's the case, my coming Touchpad will get a lot more usage than I expected :)

Thanks.
[TouchPad General] brilldoctor:
1080p flash works well on the sensation but not on the pad
[TouchPad General] Ell3X:
i think it`s just software limitation.

also the cpu @ 1.2ghz is underclocked. it can run up to 1.5ghz without any problem.

[TouchPad General] Darkomen64:
Why do people go nuts over thing like this? i really dont get it.. unless its just so they dont have to re-encode anything... but what the point of running a 1080p video on a screen that is only 1024x768? when you do this you are making the processor work harder scaling it down.. there for using more battery..

if its just for easy of use.. thats one thing.. just copy and go.. or if the touchpad had a video out port (that would be SWEEETT!!)
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Calm down. Why do people think it's their job to tell others what to want? First of all, nobody's going nuts here. Secondly, you're right. I don't want to reencode my tv shows just to watch then delete. Third and last, i don't care about battery when im on my bed and want to something.
[TouchPad General] Darkomen64:
sorry i didnt mean to imply that anyone here was going nuts over it.. but there was quite a... debate.. over the issue on the nook forums about it.. people calling it a POS because it couldnt do 1080p ect.. people were even complaining that even tho they were already having to re-encode there videos to get them to play on the nook.. they were having to re-encode them to 800x480 instead of the more 'common' format of 1280x720
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
I understand. There was a big ordeal with the Tegra 2 and high-profile h264, but it is an issue that needs to be addressed. Anyhow, it LOOKS like this 3rd-gen Snapdragon chip is a better decoder. Will try it myself when I get my Touchpad. Wonder if there's a HW-decoding player for webOS though.
[TouchPad General] shah_vm:
try this player KalemSoft Media Player
[TouchPad General] bobcote:
Does not look like this software is hardware decoding because even 720p h264 mkv are lagging.
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
No it isn't. It transcodes the files. Somebody needs to write a player that will do hardware decoding. This soc is technically as good as the ipad2. I would be more than happy to pay for such app.
[TouchPad General] stevenmu:
I know this isn't exactly what is being asked, but just to add I played some HD videos from Vimeo yesterday and they worked really well.
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Vimeo is more HQ than HD imo :)
[TouchPad General] yareally:
From using touch player on the device (which is built off of ffmpeg), I can tell you that even 720p will lag a little (but still playable). I highly doubt 1080 will be. Besides, how much do you think you are going to fit onto it with nothing but 1080p shows? 2 seasons of the simpsons @ 720p took up nearly 16gb.
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Touchplayer is a software-decoding player. We need hardware!
[TouchPad General] yareally:
Start developing it :)

There doesn't exist anything else for touchpad as far as I know.
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
That would take too long. First I have to learn how to code lol. I wish somebody would take advantage of the fire sale and make such software. There's gotta be like 1/4 a million Touchpads out there right?
[TouchPad General] yareally:
I'd consider it, but I don't think there's much of a market for selling it on the touchpad. Besides the fact android will be on it soon.
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Perhaps, but I wonder if Android performance will take a hit as a port.
[TouchPad General] yareally:
Someone will find out soon I am pretty certain :)
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Fingers crossed. Here's hoping Google will release ICS soon as well.
[TouchPad General] feyd1980:
I remuxed a few 1080p H264 high profile 4.1 samples from MKV to MP4. They are playing fine on the stock player.
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Stock BROWSER? Hm, interesting ;P
[TouchPad General] feyd1980:
LOL! Did I write stock browser? It is the stock video player of course.

I am happy with the video performance, as long as you remux from MKV to MP4 properly, HP 4.1 does not seem to be a problem for this SoC. It was the reason I avoided Tegra 2 like a plague.
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Thanks for the tip. I wonder if remuxing will do the job for all H264 videos. Going to test a few now.

PS: Remuxing without transcoding right?
[TouchPad General] feyd1980:
Yeah, I used xenonmkv for remuxing from MKV to MP4. It just copies the video stream, the only thing that is transcoded is the audio (to AAC).
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Used Gotsent to remux a couple of 720p and 1080p videos and I'm impressed! Video played very smoothly without a hiccup. It does start to skipping frames once you fast forward though.

Somebody really needs to write an MKV player to take advantage of this sweet SoC!
[TouchPad General] yareally:
MKV and MP4 are just containers that can hold various codecs (primarily of the h.264 variety, but there are others).

Just some quick reading on touchplayer by the creator of it http://mobilecoder.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/play-mkv-avi-flv-and-wmv-files-on-webos-touchpad/
[TouchPad General] Itaintrite:
Yes yes we know. But the stock player doesn't play MKV hence the need to remux.
[TouchPad General] yareally:
yes that is true, but I wasn't mentioning the stock player. touchplayer will play them, just not overly well (since it's software based only) and I was just bringing it up as interesting reading since the creator knows a decent amount about the limitations of the device and shared them on his site :)

Mostly, I am curious as to why he rolled his own ffmpeg static library when it comes loaded on the device (I'd say because the lack of mkv as we already stated). However, perhaps he missed some optimizations for it that could help it. Knowing what configure flags he used would help. I know these guys that make rockplayer on android made some tweaks to the source as well that may or may not be useful.

WebOS does let you interface with c++ easily and you can work with opengl so hardware acceleration is definitely possible.
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
hi, im on Mioze7Ae's CM6.3. ive recently started using Androidiani open recovery and have been playing around with it. adblock is a cool feature, but i realise that now some websites dont load on the browser like they did before i used adblock. is there a way to remove the adblock? i would appreciate any help.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
You need to edit your /system/etc/hosts file so that it only contains:

127.0.0.1	localhost

Here's one way to do that:

Make a backup of the /sdcard/OpenRecovery/utility/data/hosts file (this is the file Androidiani installs for the adblock)

Use a text editor to remove all the lines in /sdcard/OpenRecovery/utility/data/hosts except for the "127.0.0.1 localhost" line and save

Use Androidiani recovery to reinstall the Androidiani adblock
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
thanks, i will try this tomorrow!

do i have to remove the earlier part before the 127.0.0.1 localhost too?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I would but it's not required. They are just comments.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] les02jen17:
I am doing regular CM7 nightly updates every other day. I keep my apps backed up with titaniumbackup pro. Before, I was able to run PVZ on my NC just fine-its fullscreen, slightly pixelated but you won't notice it. Ive only just realized that now it won't run anymore. Whenever I try to run it, it goes to that 'hourglass' loading screen then the app terminates. I tried both compatibility modes in spare parts but it didn't do anything differently. Anyone can help?

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] les02jen17:
Thank you all! It's still not working for me after doing everything that you guys suggested.

Here's what I did:

I totally uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I run it, it goes to the hourglass, then the PopCap logo, then the app terminates. I uninstalled it again, I 'restored' it from my original Titanium Backup. No go. Fix Permissions using ROM Manager. Nope. Fix Permissions in CWM. Same thing.

Now I didn't know that it's required to edit the build.prop to make this app work, as I reckon I never did that before when I first got the app. I wonder what am I missing?

I'm running CM7 Nightly 171 (pretty stable) and OC to 1.2GHz. Hope you can help me. I'd like to try if modifying build.prop would do it, but I dunno how. Can someone point it out?

Thanks to this amazing community!

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] les02jen17:
I was able to make it work. What I did:

format /data

format /system

format /cache

wipe dalvik cache

install latest nightly (177)

Immediately after installing the new nightly, I installed plants vs zombies.

It worked!

BUT!

After a did a restore of the rest of my apps (not including the plants vs zombies) via titanium backup, it stopped working again.

I therefore conclude that some of my apps or widgets are the ones that causing plants vz zombies not to work.

:'(

I doubt anyone can help me though, seeing that most of you guys have got it and is working just fine. I wonder if I will have the patience to try and install all my apps one by one to check what's causing the pvz to not work.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Venue Pro General] colonel:
just come from iphone and HTC sensation

both excellent but I wanted to go back to windows phone (had a HTC HD7 before) but with a keyboard

I must say this is the best phone I have ever had

The construction is beautiful, the keyboard is the best I have ever used (=BB), its lighteningly quick, the IE browser is better then webkit (I can enter some forms in ebay and on forums that I could never do on iphone), the screen is super sharp and marketplace is full enough for me (flight control & angry birds ).

I really hope that Dell brings out a non-keyboard version (as this is more popular) and markets these hard to service providers come mango.

Dell showed it could make great handheld hardware with the old Axim range, and now the venue pro.

I really hope Dell make a success of their smartphone business, they really deserve to!

I strongly recommend these phones to people that want a beautiful phone with keyboard. Especially as Dell is occasionally doing various forms of discounts on these now.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Are you sure it didn't get named .zip.zip? If you d/l it from a windows computer that is set to not show file extensions and then rename PG05IMG.zip it ends up as .zip.zip. Also be sure you didn't get a space in there before the .

Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
If it was literally named (MR2)PG05IMG without the word zip after it, then you have file extensions hidden, which means you ended up actually renaming it to PG05IMG.zip.zip, because the first .zip was already there. If you dont know how to unhide file extensions, then just rename it to PG05IMG without .zip and see if bootloader takes it.

Flashing roms all the time? You might find this app useful...

Yeah it is ok when are just upgrading from the same rom, but it is a bit of a nuisance when you have to wipe and you loose all your data

I am sure we all know about titanium backup, and that is always the first app to load up after a full wipe, but...

What is often overlooked are your browsers bookmarks

Now for me after TB restore is this little app which wipes out all the stupid default bookmarks you get with the browser as well as at the same time restoring your lovely bookmarks exactly how you left them
