[General Questions and Answers] hkystar35:
I'm more of a casual Android enthusiast, so please be kind.

I'm running a rooted EVO 4G on Synergy (RC2) ROM:

Software - 4.24.651.1

PRI - 1.90_003

PRL - 60681

Kernel - 2.6.35.10-gc0a661b

Baseband - 2.15.00.11.19

Browser - WebKit/533.1

Here's my issue (long story, bt I want to thorough):

A couple days ago, I was listening to music via Bluetooth in my car (SYNC), and when I parked and turned the car off, I tried disabling Bluetooth to conserve battery. All of a sudden, a different music player (Mort Audiobook) than the one I was using (Google Music) started playing two tracks simultaneously, but would not register touches to stop playback. I ended up pulling the battery after killing the processes failed.

Upon trying to reboot, got stuck on the white EVO screen. Pulled battery, tried again several times, no change. Finally, got hboot to come up, wiped cache/dalvik, restarted and it finally booted. Once I could get into the phone, I had a message that the SD card was corrupt of blank, and might need reformatting. After freaking out, I pulled the SD and used my PC's reader to thankfully find all my data still there. I made a backup just in case. I then inserted the SD into the EVO again, and this time the phone would not recognize that there was even a card there. Pulled battery, waited, tried again, success. Everything is back to normal. Or so I thought.

Yesterday, I launch Dolphin Browser, it opens like normal, but as soon as I touch the screen (swipe gesture, touch-to-click, or multi-touch for pinch zoom), it closes the browser as it I clicked Exit. No error, no FC, nothing. I then launch the default Internet Browser and it does the exact same thing. Now I'm really confused. So i move dolphin from SD to the Phone memory, no change. I uninstall Dolphin altogether, launch Internet, still no change. I freeze Internet and use Dolphin by itself, no change.

I'm really stuck here, friends. I really hope you can shed some light as to where to start looking. Any help you can offer would be most graciously appreciated!
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
Have you tried reflashing the rom? You can start with wiping only cache and dalvik and then flashing the same rom over itself. If that doesn't help, make a nandroid backup and either flash a new rom (like stock) or redownload and flash Synergy. Be sure to wipe thoroughly. If you're using Amon Ra, wipe data, system, boot, .android_secure, sd-ext, cache and dalvik. If you're using ClockworkMod, wipe cache, dalvik, and data. I suggest switching to Amon Ra if you're using ClockworkMod and continue to have problems.

After a fresh flash, don't restore any apps until you've checked everything that you've been experiencing issues with. If everything seems normal, then you can restore your apps. Try to avoid restoring system data. If you've flashed something other than Synergy & want to go back, make a nandroid backup so you have a backup of something working. Don't restore Synergy, flash it with a new download and start from scratch.

Before you try all of that, you can try fixing permissions. In Amon Ra it's in the "other" menu listed as "fix apk uid mismatches". In ClockworkMod you should be able to do it from Rom Manager.

You can also try backing up the contents of your SD card and formatting the card.

I know it's a lot of information, but those are the things that I would try if I were in your shoes. It could all be rom related, so if you find that you only have problems with Synergy then it may be time to switch to something else.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] hkystar35:
I figured that if I'm going to reflash, I might as well try a new ROM, so I went with EVOlution. So far, I like it. And the browser issue is fixed, along with a few latency problems I was experiencing with Synergy.

It seems like I'm good to go, and I'm making a nandroid backup as I write. Thank you for all your help and suggestions!

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] densets:
Before you think i'm crazy let me explain why i want it.

I want to be able to hold my nook however i want with out the fear i might turn the page by accident. Where it my be my fingers touching the screen, the sheets or cookie crumbs.

So, im looking for an app that will disable the touch screen and can be linked to a hardware button(any turn page button, probably the left ones as i use those the least) whether by script of done by the app itself.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] shupiuiuma:
CoolReader have a possibility to disable touchscreen while reading. It can be assigned to some of the page-turning buttons - press a button, double press or long press.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] densets:
I tried some tool called Screen tools 1 and i manage to "disable" touch but it would disable the buttons as well. I'll try coolreader, thanks for the tip
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thotypous:
I have a X10minipro (U20a) with the M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 baseband, latest (2.1.1.A.0.6) firmware - just updated/repaired using PC Companion.

I just tried to flash Cm7.1.0 RC1 FXP028's kernel in this phone (first step of the install guide, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1212949), but it won't boot. It doesn't even display any logo at all (no FXP logo, nor Sony Ericsson logo). After pressing the power button, I can feel the usual little vibration it makes when powering up. After that, the phone gives no other life sign - the screen just keeps black forever.

I'm not sure, but when the usb cable is connected, it appears that the phone enters into some sort of loop in and out of flash mode. The green LED blinks shortly and I can see the usb device being detected as the flash mode device (eg. on lsusb) for a short period of time. And I haven't pressed the back button at all.

Of course, flashing back the stock kernel unbricks the phone.

The bootloader was unlocked using msm7227_semc. Just to be sure it was unlocked correctly, I flashed D4Kernel v1.2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254202), and it worked like a charm. So the bootloader appears to be working well.

Does anybody have an idea of what is going on? Maybe I was expected to flash another version of the baseband?

If you got FXP kernel to work in your phone, please tell me if you can see any difference between your phone and mine (versions, etc.)

I found it strange that U20_CUSTOM.ftf, when opened using flashtool, shows "E10" in the column "Device". But perhaps this is just a typo.

Have you discovered the problem yet ? I have a similiar problem and how can you reflash the stock kernel if it doesn't even turn on or connect with computer ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] danlivesey:
The kernel that comes with CM 7.1 is broken, you need to use a older version of FXP, there's one in the mini pro dev and flash the just the kernel but I can't find the kernel any were for the mini pro, the mirrors come up as X8. I've been told that it still has bugs.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] thotypous:
As danlivesey said, the custom kernel from FXP is broken. When I posted this, nobody had complained yet (people complained only when they released FXP030), so I thought I was doing something wrong.

To reflash the stock kernel, download "X10 mini pro (U20) stock kernel" from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

Then use flashtool to flash the ftf file. You should be able to put your phone in flash mode. If your are not able, probably it is stuck frozen trying to boot, then just remove the battery and insert it again and follow the procedure again (keeping the back button pressed and inserting the USB cable).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strokedmaro:
I dont post often because I can usually (confidently) find what I need by reading all the great info already posted but I'm new to android and have a few questions.

I rooted my Galaxy S 2 really easily by reading/downloading various things throughout the forums...no problem. Currently runing CheckROM V5/Siyah v1.7.8 Kernel. It was easy because I had no problem locating the correct Kernel for rooting ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182922 )

A month later I got one for my wife for her birthday, threw out her old Iphone 3g and started trying to get it rooted. My problem is I can not find a matching kernel to root this one with. Its got XWKDD/2.3.3 on it...wont update through Kies and here is where my questions start:

Can I update this manually through odin with a stock 2.3.5 rom (or any other)? It should update the kernel along with the firmware and then I can find a matching one to root with...correct? I'm just a little nervous because searching for "KDD" in the forums yeilds like two topics that no one ever answered. Is there something weird about this firmware? Any help appreciated. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayerfernandes:
flash any stock firmware from Intratechs thread using Odin, that ought to do the job

im just gonna wait for s3 now. im on an 18month contract so sorta tied to sgs until next march anyway might as well hold out until s3 is out there then get on at the bleeding edge
[General Topics] haloimplant:
I am curious to see what the the HD screen will look like. It will probably be pentile again, will the resolution be high enough to please my eye? Maybe.

Probably won't buy an S2 though, hoping for a beefier GPU in the S3.

Seeing as the SGS2 GPU is not really out-classing the SGS, I wonder how it will cope with the HD resolution. I'm thinking a higher tier of performance (like the huge future gains nvidia is bragging about, or even something like the SGX543MP2 in the ipad2) will be welcome with newer titles at HD resolution.
[General Topics] pacc:
I'm torn between the Galaxy Note (1.4Ghz) and SII LTE HD (1.5Ghz).

Both with great screen HD resolution, huge sizes, new exynos processor with better battery life, upgraded GPU and other small changes.

SIII is rumoured to have similar specs, maybe a better screen, so don't know if it's actually worth waiting.
[General Topics] bhu1:
Haha, sgs 2 has the best gpu in any android 'device'(not only phones) in the whole world - the mali-400 which is nearly 3 time better than sgs's gpu.

hit thankxx if i helped. sent from my mind through telepathy (ya its possible)!
[General Topics] bhu1:
'Similar', I think a more heavier word like ' better ' would have fitted into the line, sgs3 is rumoured to have a 2.0 quad core(4 cores) processor and 1.5gb ram( rumoured by many big tech news sites like engadget.com,thisismynext.com,phonearena.com,gsmarena.com),also a 10mp camera is rumoured at back, and a 5mp ffcamera is rumoured ( just read that in 1 article so the news is not so strong and dependable).

And I don't think 'bigger screen size' means bigger phones, if you compare sgs2 international version and sgs2 hd (korean) version then the latter one has a way bigger screen but if you see the lower button pannel, you will notice the buttons have been made smaller and wider so that the device is still not that big and is still just a notch bigger than original sgs2's 'body size'. ;-)

[General Topics] oswade:
Should be getting a touchpad soon.. so i don't really need a large screen device like the note (although the HD screen and stylus is epic).

I can't wait to see what the nexus 3/sgs 3 will look like.. cause that might be my next purchase, but I'm not liking the trend towards bigger screens (rumour is that it will be 4.6!!! SGS2 4.3 screen is pretty much my limit i'd say (and even then if they could reduce the border size around the screen I'd be happy)).

Main thing is I guess, not too big and also high quality audio (unlike sgs2). I'm very much digging the super amoled HD and the curved screen rumoured to be a part of the next nexus (or whatever that samsung/google device was, that was hinted at today).

[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Excerpt from techwatch.co.uk

HTC's latest Android/Sense software has a vulnerability which collects user data and allows any app to access it.

The hole was brought to light by Trevor Eckhart and can be found on many of the devices such as the Evo 3D and Thunderbolt, amongst others.

According to Android Police, recent updates to the HTC software included the introduction of a suite of "logging tools" which collect information.

This could be used by the phone company to better understand problems that occur with devices, or enable better remote access.

However, it seems that the suite is not properly secured and doesn’t allow users to opt-in or out of the service.

Additionally, any app that can access "android.permission.INTERNET" can also get hold of a whole host of information on the phone's user.

This includes accounts, email addresses, GPS locations, phone numbers, text messaging data and system logs.

This means that any app that requests permissions to access the internet on the device can also, if it wanted to, get this information.

Android Police also found that any app could also access all of a phone's information, such as memory and CPU and IP address.

This, they say, makes it "theoretically possible to clone a device using only a small subset of the information leaked."

Considering the huge rise in malware which has been created for the Android market recently, this would seem to be a glaring error by HTC which needs to be very quickly sorted out.

The problem lies with the HtcLoggers.apk app which has an interface that requires no login or password.

However, AP believe that this is just the "tip of the iceberg" as they have only just begun to look into what other services installed on the phones might be capable of.

They also say that note that only the stock Sense firmware is affected.

Phones currently thought to be affected include: Evo 3D and 4G; Thunderbolt; Evo Shift 4G; MyTouch 4G Slide, some Sensations and the new Vigor. Of course, most of these are US handsets, but there are certainly some in the UK, such as the recently released Evo 3D and Sensation.

Whilst it's quite possible that other models are also affected, these are yet to be tested and confirmed.

no need to post the same stuff in two different threads :)

as i mentioned in your other thread, there is a fix.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dresden21:
Hi everyone,

I was able to recover my phone on the weekend after trying my hand for the first time using FlashTool on the weekend. I understand now how putting .ftf files in the firmware folders work (please don't laugh at how non-technical I am with this - I am a Windows system admin by day - I just don't have a lot of under the hood experience with Android). I understand how to flash the .ftf files onto my handset.

I flashed on Saturday, in a means to recover my phone a whole bundled package (I got it from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192152&highlight=) It's essentially the stock 2.3.3 ROM and it has Baseband 2.1.71 prebundled.

The downside is that I can't install Xrecovery now because my phone isn't rooted now and I don't want to go through the process of using ADB to use gingerbreak.

Is there a 2.3.3+ ROM including BB 2.1.71 and xRecovery ftf bundle out there?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu|:
That thread is the pre-rooted 2.3.3 with recovery. Not sure what else you could want.

Try entering recovery when you turn the handset on and pressing the volume down key when you see the white Sony Ericsson text
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dresden21:
Okay thanks. I've always entered recovery by going thru by pushing the back button (not volume down). Let me try it. I'll get back to you in a minute.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dresden21:
Ya pressing the volume down didn't get me into recovery. I've also tried installing xrecovery the usual way of downloading busy box, allowing non market apps, using a file mgr to open the xrecovery installer but it fails because the device isn't rooted. I can't su on a terminal emulator either so I don't think this rom i flashed is rooted.

It completely wiped my phone and installed 2.3.3 and 2.1.71 baseband (which is what I want) but now I want it to be rooted so I can play around with more ROMs. :p
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu|:
Ok, I remember from when this first came out, you need to flash 2.1 firmware and root it, install xrecovery and then follow the procedure in that thread you posted. That should give you the pre-rooted and pre-installed xrecovery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dresden21:
It's okay, If I'm going to do that much work I might just use the Android debug bridge (ADB) to install Gingerbreak. No big deal..

2.3.3 stock is a very nice improvement over 2.1 from what I remember. I used FreeX10 2.2 and it was nice as well (but I felt the UI looked a little dated). 2.3.3 stock looks and feels great, but I want even better battery life and better perfomane I know some of the custom ROMs can offer me.

I like the CM7 based 2.3.5 ROM I've seen on this site, and I wanna try 2.3 Free X10 from zdhiu.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu|:
Fair enough, I'm using the CM7 FXP rom and its flying. Battery life is pretty much the same as I was getting from SE firmware too.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dresden21:
Awesome!

So just to clarify the usual procedure:

You get your device rooted and xRecovery installed by whatever means. Since my X10 is a clean slate with just 2.3.3 on it with baseband 2.1.71, I will need to use Gingerbreak to root and subsequently install xRecovery.

Then put the .zip for the ROM on the SD card, flash it using xRecovery

Then remove battery, reboot, then using flashtool, flash the baseband and firmware?

I've only been using Android for a few months, and just learned about using custom ROMs in the past 6 weeks or so. I've learned a lot since then lol.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu|:
Sounds pretty much right to me if your bootloader is locked.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dresden21:
Okay, great. I really am learning more and more. I'm in IT myself for work, but phone hacking was never really my forte until just recently.

I like the type of flashing that I did in FlashTool with the current ROM I'm running from that previous post.

It was the baseband and firmware and ROM all bundled. I know FlashTool lets you make bundles too.. I find that easier than flashing the ROM in xRecovery and then flashing the firmware and baseband second.

What do you think?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stu|:
I've found that installing the rom in xrecovery is good as I can make a full backup first and then flash the zip.

I always tend to flash the baseband and/or firmware first, but thats personal choice.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dresden21:
Ya I understand all of that. I am fully aware how to install xRecovery (on ROMs previous to 2.3), how to take backups, wipe caches, flash zips.

I used FlashTool to flash a firmware (it was a .ftf file) for the baseband, however when I turned on my phone, it went to the Sony Ericsson white text, then white LED, then boot loop. So I didn't flash that file correctly or I didn't flash the right file.

Is there any prebuilt ftf packages for 2.3.3+ ROMs you know of that include the 2.1.71 baseband? I found that FreeX10's 2.2 ROM was very quick and made my whole Xperia experience more fluid and fast, so I'm interested to try FreeX10 2.3.. I don't know if zdhiu has a prebundled ftf.
