Since updating from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 via Kies my battery life has worsened! Before the official update battery life was superb. I have no custom ROMs, etc. everything is stock and my device is unbranded.
[Galaxy S II General] Tinderbox (UK):
I think my battery life is better with 2.3.4 , but not being a heavy user , with light use i can get around 3 days , it`s a pity there was not a poll attached to this thread.

OK how can I update to 2.3.5 or .4 I am sure I'm using 2.3.3 but I reality want to improve my battery life

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PHPAdam:
Im sorry if im being Dumb here.

I of course wish to upgrade my HTC Desire (info below) to the most latest version of android possible.

Im googleing the issue, but (androidcommunity dot com) said that it broke camera :eek: and other functions.

Since T-Mobile UK / HTC wont upgrade the phone any more. Is their any WORKING rom I can upgrade to?

Id prefer a default or fully functioning ROM, as I do use it for work. It'd me much appreciated if you can point me in the right direction.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can root your phone using unrevoked, partition your sd card using gparted and flash any rom you want to. Follow this guide, its very helpful to new users:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016084

Then search in Desire Android Development for a rom that suits your needs. They pretty much all have working camera etc so don't worry about that.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PHPAdam:
wow, I know that guide is noob proof but it not very simple, with having to change drivers and even burning ISO's. :confused:

I thought android was more open than iOS - yet on apple theirs software that does it within a few clicks.

I appreciate it nether the less, will try it tomorrow - sounds like it will need my full attention.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kouske:
you don't have to burn any iso's. you can go to alpharev.nl instead and use fastboot commander to flash the hboot for the rom (depends on which rom and what hboot it needs. if you already s-off'd your device and your hboot was upgraded you can use the downgrade package on alpharev and then upgrade again to whatever you like).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halaros2:
Or if u want something very stable and without bugs you could just root with unrevoked (very easy just a few clicks with the mouse) and then flash an aosp rom like oxygen so u don't have to use Gparted and iso stuff!!! Think about it ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Changing drivers and burning iso is simple, if you follow the guide its about as ready as it gets.. Even for first time users. If you can read you can do it.

PS.. Its neither apple or Android software that unlocks the phones, its developers etc that provide the software that uses cracks in the security features of the handsets to unlock.

PPS.. Android is more open than apple, as in Android is completely open source and apple is completely closed source. It has nothing to do with the ability to unlock the handsets. Its all about Android sharing the code freely.

How do I make my own background. Size and resolution. I´ve tried a couple of times but in the end the pic is not what I supposed it to be. It´s resized to something else, often a part of the original if you know what I mean.

In other words, what is the proper way to make my own background image?
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
The best way to explain this would be to imagine you're trying to making an inage that would fit in the middle of a "+" sign... the image will have different "useable" dimensions to account for it in landscape and portrait mode. See my masterfully made MSPaint representation... The dimensions I am not 100% sure on. If your image runs into the darker red sections, then the parts of the image on the left-right will only appear in landscape mode, top-bottom only in portrait mode.

That doesn't answer the OP's question though.

---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 AM ----------

There isn't really a way of making a background image similar to what you're used to on desktop PCs, there will always be some parts of the image not showing due to cropping. There was detailed instructions in the themes and application section of the forums for doing your own background images, but it still will crop parts of the image because that's simply the way HC is designed.

Hi there,

I used odin and flashed stock kernel to obtain root.

At first I never got the 128 error, but then I flashed a diff. kernel to test it out and got the 128 error.

I flashed back to the stock kernel, but I'm still getting 128 error.

It doesn't prevent me from using my phone, but it's definitly annoying and I'd like to know if anyone else has been running into this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
Hi all,

Am i the only one getting this!!?

Is this the same as LOS people speak of?

The issue is that it throws the 128 error (login failed) maybe 2-5 times... while I get the error I notice there is no 3G icon.

Once the 3G icon shows up, the 128 error goes away.

This wasn't happening before root b ut I've noticed since.

Can anyone please shed light?

Thanks

I'm starting to wonder if this actually might be caused by Juice Defender.

I need to look at the settings again, but I'm guessing there is one that might prefer ...

wait, nevermind... I disable juice defender as I was typing this and rebooted...

Still getting the error!!!

It pops up about 3 times (during this time there is no 3g icon) then the 3g icon appears and the error goes away...

NO ONE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE?

but after you get it... a few minutes (if even) later it goes away and your 3g icon is back, right?

Last few days, I get a data roaming notice, even in areas that should not be roaming areas. I press the button to not roam.

I'm not sure about the 3g icon. I'll report back next time it happens, but yes it does just go away after popping up multiple times in a row.

[HTC EVO 3D] Optimal Carnage:
Alright gentlemen, here's my issue and to be honest I'm really not all that great with the search function but I did try and the threads I locate aren't specific to the Htc Evo 3D. I purchased Boot Manager off the market because I'm a flash-a-holik like most. But regardless of what ROM I attempt to install and then boot I always end up stuck at the Htc boot screen and I have to pull the battery and restore from nandroid. Now before somebody tells be to do a wipe I already have as always. In fact I typically do a super wipe 3-5 times just to be sure. Now with that being said. Can anybody point me in the direction I need to take for this to work correctly? I love running SenselessROM-GB 2.3.4 but I would also like to load MIUI and possibly CyanogenMod-7 unfortunetly I can't as I always get stuck at the white Htc logo screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nook Color General] vman81:
I'm looking to buy a Nook Color as a cheap CM tablet to experiment with app development/pdf reader for school, but getting a hold of one in Europe seems pretty difficult.

My only option so far seems to buy one on ebay and pay ~50% in import "penalties" etc.

At $300 it isn't in my price range any more, so do any of you have any good advice on the subject?

I'm in Denmark.

I don't know if it available in europe yet but I would look at the Fire.

I have the same problem, living in Italy. Import duties on the last shipment were more than the cost of the items shipped from the US and shipping was almost as much. Fortunately I had to fly back for a wedding and brought a nook color back, with a lot of other things that can't be purchased here. Might as well get as much as I can for the price of the ticket.

For more urgent things I use Amazon.UK or Amazon.DE. Good exchange rate with the pound right now and buying from Germany is much cheaper than Italy anyday.

Be aware:

If you plan on keeping the B&N Nook funcitonality, it won't work so well in Europe since purchases need to be made in the US borders and with a US account.

if you happen to use google voice integration you won't receive mms. you'll need to have the images sent to your phone number instead of your gv number.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rfeagan:
I think the above is accurate IF you have a GV number AND a sprint number. However, if you started with a Sprint number and used GV integration (NOT porting your Sprint # to GV) then: MMS would arrive to your phone's messaging app, but not to GV app or GV web interface.

I took advantage of sprints GV integration months ago with my og EVO 4g, no problems. Picked up ET4G and now I can't send or receive MMS. Searching for a solution...

I'm tempted to reset everything on my phone, but don't really want to reconfigure everything. Ugh.

I'm not rooted, have not attempted root. I switched back to Sprint 60681 PRL, still no MMS. Suggestions?

I've also noticed that my phone doesn't upload to pics to twitpic or yfrog successfully while on 3g (via tweetdeck). I wonder if there's some radio hardware or software bug that makes uploading difficult/slow?

Your problem may be that you need too go on the google voice webpage not app and delete you phone number off of it. I had same issue changing.devices. delete your number off the voice webpage uncheck it so its not assigned too any phone. Delete google.voice.from your phone. Re download it then do the carrier integration again when u first open it. Alot of people have this.problem everytime u change devices u need too do this. Even if its the same number. Went through exact same thing. Had same issue. Trust me try it. I actualy called sprint they had me reset prl and profike blah blah didnt work then said i needed too contact google.

I have the same problem. Started some time last week. I called Sprint and they did like 5 resets, no luck. They told me to take it to the Sprint store.

So today I spent an hour and 20 mins in the Sprint store where they did all sorts of resets and system updates, no luck. In fact, he told me he had 3 other Epic 4g Touch's in the back that came back with the same problem, and he didn't have any new ones to give me. He told me to call back on Friday and see if he has any new phones in stock.

This whole issue was on a stock phone, did all sorts of hard resets. I just rooted my phone, still using a stock kernal though. Still having the same problem. EVERYTHING works except for MMS. Not only that, but when I try to log on with pictures.sprintpcs.com, the site is not working either. STRANGE... the other phone number on my account log in OK.

Any change's that can be made to the MMS proxy?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rfeagan:
Hard reset solved it for me today. I reset, then sent an mms before installing any apps. Success! Then I reinstalled google voice. My guess is that my problem had something to do with google voice integration, & a new phone. I'd bet that the other new ET4G's at the back of your sprint store perhaps could be similarly solved? "de-integrate" GV then reintegrate?

Odd, I know. But all is now working well here.
