[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Wrong (for most devices). Most devices with a locked bootloader only deal with S-ON/S-OFF. Once you have S-OFF, then you won't need a signed rom. And even if you have the ENG HBOOT (on the devices which require it), you would still need S-OFF for the process to work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stm2008:
Hi all,

I have something unclear about clockworkmod, could someone please help?

I'm using hyperdroid gbx now and have a lot of settings, applications and data. If I want to use another say cm7 ROM, can I use clockworkmod to backup system and data, after install the Rom, I can then restore all my settings, application and data. Is this approach workable?

Please advise.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
if you use sd-ext partition and if your apps ar in sd-ext, this may work sometimes: backup current rom, in new rom choose 'advaced restore' and choose restore sd-ext. but doesnt work always. i'd prefer titanium backup:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stm2008:
So in what situations I should use backup/restore of ClockworkMod?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hloi123:
go to clockworldmode -> advance -> backup/restore rom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cquintus:
For example when updating to a newer version of the same rom,

1. Make a backup first with CWM. Instal the update.

2. Than wipe cache and Dalvik cache, then fix permissions and reboot.

If the new romversion doesn't work well enough, simply recover the backup in CWM
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mutil:
i havent got certain results for this. as i said it worked sometimes. if it doesnt work i use titanium backup.

Every time I run Autodesk's Sketchbook Pro on my stock 3.1 I notice the app consumes a lot of battery power, has anyone experienced this?
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Yes. This is a very intense graphic program.I do not think they throttle it at all.

Anything from autodesk.or adobe will be the same way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bds120:
I think my phone's battery may be defective. Already, as soon as I take it off the charger it drops to 97%. Think I may have to run to sprint to get it switched out. Anyone else see this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
I think that's normal

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Erislover:
I had the same issue at first, but now the battery is working really, really well. It still drops to 99% instantly, but I'm unplugged for 4hrs now and have a couple of texts sent with web browsing on a few pages on 4g (and a couple on 3g) and at 92% still.

Give it a day or two more and see if anything changes on its own. I think there may be a normalizing period for the battery. <--- total speculation, based just on my own experience.

Also, I guess look to see if any programs on battery usage page are eating your battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mcangeli:
I came across a thread in another device forum here with a zip and three files to download. Followed the instructions in the original post and it worked.

Hulu+ on the Inspire with video.

I did have to edit the hosts file for Virtuous Unity to allow the hulu ads, as if you have them blocked, it will not play.

See the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1211460

and grab the edited hosts file here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] neuropolis:
I can confirm this works!
[HTC Inspire 4G] hyun18:
Uhh , edit host files how?lol and Idk what to do after putting those 3 files in titanium backup folder...
[HTC Inspire 4G] cire216:
So if using ad free, I gotta uninstall for hulu to work? Or edit hosts

It's called Minus. Website: http://min.us/

Use this link to register and you will earn extra 1GB storage. (it's not advert, i already have 50GB storage which is limit so i dont get anything back, it's just for you)

Also they even have Android app on market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.minus.android

Might be pretty usefull for dev's mirroring ROM's. :cool:
[Desire General] danarama:

[Desire General] snakeeyes21:

[Desire General] Terepin:
Agreed. I'm waiting for proper SkyDrive app and I'm ditching Dropbox for good.
[Desire General] danarama:

[Desire General] k3lcior:
Anyone found how to create a folders? I'm either stupid or blind but cannot find a way to do it. ;)

And it's slowly getting a mess without proper files organization...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
try dragging in a folder from the desktop

its strange - when i did it with an empty folder i got a folder and an empty file in the folder - deleted the file..

that's the only way i found to do it so far.

also when the top link is full (50GB i think is max?) feel free to use mine to give you and me an extra gb storage :P

edit: my account is maxed out
[Desire General] xproc:
minus faster or Dropbox?
[Desire General] Phateless:
You get 50gb?? I used your link, started with 11gb.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i havent got 50GB - but you can get that much free I think from referrals - Android Police said they maxed theirs out a few days ago on Google+ and I am sure I read at 50GB.

you start with 10, 11 if you sign up from a referral.
[Desire General] vanticar:
Free 25gb here (skydrive)

easier mount as network drive on PC

http://www.gladinet.com/p/intro_microsoft_skydrive.aspx (trail works fine also suports other cloud storage)

Linux

http://skydrivesync.codeplex.com/

also when i registered my phone with dropbox they upgraded it to 5gb (for 12 months) just install the app on your phone after installing on PC

hope this helps...
[Desire General] Terepin:
Without (proper) Android app is SkyDrive useless. Microsoft is suppose to release official one, but I have no idea when.
[Desire General] vanticar:
maybe but it works well enough for me along with dropbox ofc :)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
probably in time for Win8.

they are hyping it up for that I think
[Desire General] Terepin:
It should be out with WLE 5, but again, not sure when or if it will be in beta. Only time will tell.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
looks like if you upload a file too, you click on it to open it there's a 'rename folder' option at the top left - so you upload a file it creates a folder automagically which you can then rename - and add more files to that folder :)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
my account is maxed out :D

50GB storage space
[Desire General] k3lcior:
Is it possible to move files between different folders?

Edit:

If someone want he's ref link in first post PM me, as my storage is full aswell (50gb)
[Desire General] Terepin:
So Is started using Minus and I must say the comfort of using it is nowhere near DropBox.
[Desire General] Phateless:
How so?
[Desire General] Terepin:
There is ZERO file managing, it doesn't respect folder structure during upload and you have only obscure app for Windows that is only uploading tool.

Piece of ****.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I haven't a problem with it and folder structure.

downsides:

I haven't found a way to move stuff

I found uploading larger (200mb+) files failed most of the time through the web, but worked fine with the windows tool
[Desire General] Mittaa:
600 MB additional free storage :)

Hi all

Just found a smart way to increase your Dropbox account with 600 MB:

1 Sign into your existing Dropbox account (or create a new account)

2 Goto https://www.dropbox.com/free

3 Follow instructions ... and voila 600 MB additional free storage :)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Still prefer minus to drop box by a mile
[Desire General] Phateless:
How come?
[Desire General] ShclasH:
Well I'm good with my tiny 5GB UbuntuOne cloud. It has a nice android app giving you full control over folder structure. However I can't say how fast it is cause I'm usually on 3G or poor WiFi connections.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
when I tried dropbox it seemed to say my increased allowance was limited to a time period - none of that junk on minus

easy to set up, easy to manage, easy to upload - i dont think it has a folder sync like dropbox - but i probably wouldnt have used it anyway :p
[Desire General] Phateless:
Hmm, I've never had anything like that happen with Dropbox. Folder sync is the entire reason I use it! Home desktop, work desktop, and my laptop, Dropbox is an absolute lifesaver. I frequently work from home and there are certain work files and bookmarks I need to have available and up to date.

My old laptop was stolen recently but thank god I had everything in my Dropbox, so I didn't lose a thing, not even pictures.

Between Dropbox and FireFox sync I'm completely backed up in the cloud and it allows me to seamlessly switch from device to device without missing a beat. Kinda like Android, the device is merely an internet-enabled terminal to access all of my remotely-stored data.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i thought there was some kind of minus sync too - i dunno i never needed it
[Desire General] andee84:
Minus is lil bit overloaded with this social things, imho. Look at owncloud.org. in 40 days there want launch apps fo desktop and mobile.

[HTC EVO 3D] tannerw_2010:
I've had the EVO3D since launch, and recently, it has been randomly rebooting at least once a day. It seems like it's getting worse and worse, as about a month or two ago (when I first got root) it was maybe 2-3 times a week. For the first month I had the phone before root (or even temp root), I only remember two specific occasions when it boot-looped until I had to do a battery pull. So i guess you can say it happened 2 times a month back from June-July.

I really love this phone but this is just getting ridiculous. I don't know what to do from here since I didn't buy the warranty. Any suggestions? I am using SupraRom (the latest AOSP version) and TWRP (1.2 or 1.3 (?))

As I typed this up, I tryed to reboot into recovery to see what version I have and it locked up again (black screen with lights on the buttons). :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
I used to get it too. It stopped after I flashed (from hboot) the new radio, pri, and rpm, then updated ROM base to sense w/2.3.4 base. Try that, and of course, full wipe, sometimes random reboots is from dirty flashing :) oh yeah, and try making sure your VM heap is 42m or less in the /system/build.prop
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
If the above steps don't work to clear the issue, I would suggest loading the latest stock system and kernel. If you still have random reboots on the latest stock system and kernel, it definitely sounds like it could be a possible hardware issue triggering a kernel panic causing the device to reboot.

This level of troubleshooting, determining what is causing the kernel panic and rebooting the device is beyond and most users and goes a bit deeper. Generally, on a fully stock system, this would indicate a serious programming error which should affect many users, or some type of hardware flaw in the specific device.

Random reboots are hard to prove. The best route would be to take the device back to where you purchased and/or Sprint and see if they are able to help you.

Hopefully the steps quoted above by updating the firmware and software to the most recent versions resolve the issue as it could have been a programming bug on HTC/Sprint's part.

Hope the extra information and details help!

Recently my hyperdroid gbx Market updated automatically. After the update, I found that many apps I can use before are not able to download now. It always said "Your device is not compatible with this item". Do anyone know if I can revert to the old version of Market?

Thx.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Yes, go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications -- Find Market, hit Uninstall updates ..

And you'll get your old market back. However, the second you open it, it will close and update itself to the latest.

You have two ways to pass that:

1- Using TB Pro, Freeze Market Updater.

2- Remove MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app/ (of course after making a back up)

Hello guys,

I have a little problem.

I use the "HD2 NDT MIUI Ginger Rom" and its really fast but my only problem is that when I use it a few hours without reboot my RAM falls down to 80MB .

Even when I kill all tasks it's still under 100MB everytime. After I reboot the RAM is like 200Mb or more.

Why is that so? Is it possible to change it?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
So what is your problem exactly? The great memory management of this rom? To much free ram? Force closes? Apps not starting?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] casemandan:
Not when you have A LOT OF APPS installed. Trust me. Its very needed on Sense roms too. More ram equals faster rom experience
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
On Android, espacially on miui you dont need a taskkiller. MIUI has a built in taskkiller, just hold the home button. 3rd party automatic task killers are plain bs. Free ram is wasted ram. 80mb of free ram is plenty. More free ram won't speed up your device, it will slow it down. Of course your apps open faster, if they are allready loaded into RAM, not when they have to be loaded from nand or sd first.

Wise words from mrbr0wn:

"you don't need task killer.....you do not even have to look at the free memory....just use your phone...you won't have any kind of memory problem... GB memory management is great...!"

The thing is I like all the options which come with the HTC email app, so what email app do you guys use? Is there anything better?

- i can setup my out of the office directly from there

- groups my conversations

- the overall presentation/design of the app
