[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NairobiWP:
The lack of support and /or information concerning the status of SIM Toolkit in WP7 is really beginning to piss me off. I was hoping that Nokia would support it but I haven't seen any mention of it in the Lumia 800/710 reviews.

I have emailed and tweeted about this to various WP7 sites and Microsoft Program Managers. But no answer. They don't understand how important this application is to those of us who use Mobile Banking applications daily.

Looks like we will solve this problem ourselves.

I am using froyobread(v023c) & I am very satisfied with it thanks to developer(I already given thanks to all who made this ROM).

But It get stuck in between sometime & stop responding & also restart my phone many occasion, even my icon too not showing & loading very slowly.

This happens most when I am using internet or installing or uninstalling application.

& yes I forgot my gallery because whenever I open it, mini pro get very slow & also get reboot.

can anyone give me proper solution for this or it natural in custom ROM ??

If any best ROM for SPEED is there then please tell me (with process to install)??

That is the question. Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
I think this is the problem i tried helping you with before. You said you weren't sure if you got into recovery.

I held down the three button combo (vol up, menu, powe for 3/4 secs then let go. Wait 15 seconds to be safe and you are in recovery.

To try get the nandroid backup to install, press vol dwn 5 times, then power. (backup and restore)

Next vol dwn once, then power. (nandroid, select restore)

Then power again assuming you only have one backup, otherwise the oldest backups are at the top and most recent at the bottom. Obviously if you go down too far you will "go back" or re-scroll the menu

Hope that helps, or else get it sorted somehow, good luck

Edit: If you still want to try android screencast and are confident your touch screen works and then think you can get to settings, i can guide you to select debug
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempnick:
Same problem, different solution.

The problem is there's no way for me to verify that I did get into recovery mode (which by other explanations I got requires more delicate timing), and possibly no way to get the nandroid backup from my computer to where it's supposed to be on the phone, though it was worth trying. Download mode, however, is identifiable by ODIN, so that one I can verify and use with or without a screen.

Android Screencast bypasses the screen, which doesn't work, but that one requires debug.

So back to the same point of flashing a nandroid backup via ODIN.

I found here a tool called Rom Cleaner. Can anyone talk me a procedure how to flash a rom customized via this tool ? I open the archive and i do not see any boot.img file. I just want use it for removing some apps from it before flashing. Here is the link to thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876626. I can`t post this directly because im newbie :D

[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
You don't actually need it. You can do it with WinRAR.

- Download ROM (Zip)

- OPEN the Zip with WinRAR (Do not extract it)

- Delete the APK's you don't want

- Close WinRAR

- Flash

You can also delete system apps after you've flashed it. I recommend usingRoot App Remover since it's pretty bulletproof. You can't f*ck up and delete important apps like Settings, Clock, Phone etc.

[Motorola Droid 3] _LTB_:
I hope this hasn't been covered, a search (here and on Google) did not really help.

On my XT860 I seem to have an open internet connection constantly. When WiFi is turned off, HSDPA (or EDGE) is show as active constantly.

I think this was not the case in the beginning but I am not really sure about that as restoring a (very early) backup does not solve the problem.

I killed every single App about a hundred times but without any changes in this behaviour.

Turning data save mode on is of no use either. Statistics show very little activity (Upload/download) anyway, so that's not it. It's just that it stays connected all the time without doing anything (other than draining the battery).

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Or which steps I could take to narrow the problem down? Or is it even 'normal' (albeit annoying) behaviour?

I would be grateful for any input as I am running out of ideas what to try.

SETTINGS>BATTERY&DATA MANAGER>DATA DELIVERY, and disable "Data enabled" and "Background data"

for a better battery life, disable also UMTS/3G networks, only 2G remaining active.
[Motorola Droid 3] _LTB_:
Thanks but disabling background data does not seem to change much. The H+ symbol is still there all the time.

I do not want to disable data altogether as this basically render many functions useless.

Or is this just normal? Is the symbol there all the time when data is enabled and WiFi is off?

Considering that they don't bother to explain the status icons in the manual I wouldn't know...
[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
Hello guys. I'd like to cook a pre-rooted stock rom for A501, starting from OTA Full Packages, to be applied after a downgrade to 3.0.1 and CWM installation. Can someone point me to some tutorial?
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Pre-rooted totally stock HC 3.2 ROM here. It's what I'm running at the moment.

;)

http://code.google.com/p/acer-a500/downloads/list

First four rar files are the ROM.
[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
Area you sure? I googled that version number and it seems a really old rom, the one used to root A500 in the first place...

Look at the date and description of this file:

http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&file=56
[Acer Iconia A500] wlk0:
Acer_A501_0.017.01_PA_ATT is a factory firmware flash, not what you are looking for. I think kjy2010 was rather referring to CWM_Root_Acer_A500_7.006.03_COM_GEN1, which is a rooted stock, but it's for A500 though.

I'm no cook expert, but by doing diffs between stock updates and rooted ROMs here, I'd say you can easily make your own, using Acer_A501_1.309.02_4.031.24_COM_GEN1 as the source.

- remove ./bootloader.blob

- remove ./recovery/recovery-from-boot.p

- remove ./recovery/etc/install-recovery.sh

- add ./system/apps/superuser.apk

- add ./system/bin/su

- modify ./meta-inf/.../updater-script:

- remove script stuff related to recovery installation (2 lines)

- remove script stuff related to bootloader installation (3 lines, and make sure to remove formatting of mmcblk0p4)

- add set_perm 6755 on su

- add symlink /system/bin/su to /system/xbin/su

- sign zip with signapk.jar (not sure if this is required by CWM though)

- install with CWM obviously

This is my own novice understanding of this, handle with care :)

Any experienced cook please confirm I'm correct ?
[Acer Iconia A500] Lorthirk:
That's great... but since I'm just a power user and never did something like that before, I think I would need some more detailed info...

EDIT: well, I indeed thought it would have been harder... it seems I can find every step you mentioned. I just need to find Superuser.apk and su binaries, someone knows where to find them?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] earlthepearl:
I've been searching on XDA and other android forums, but so far can't really find what I'm looking for. I've seen other threads where someone developed a custom mail.apk for their device that will allow active sync with exchange but not require the pin code. I saw one thread here about the HTC Sense, but I have the Samsung Captivate.

Can anyone point me in the right direction about getting a custom mail.apk to install on my phone so that I can sync with my exchange server without a pin code? I recently loaded Cognition 5 (Gingerbread 2.3.3) and it's running pretty smooth. I will still put a lock on my phone, but I want the pattern lock, not the pin lock.

- I've tried several 3rd party apps from the market that handle exchange (touchdown) but I prefer the native app that comes with it, although I do understand that this would fix the pin lock screen in a round about way.

- I don't want an app like 'no lock' or 'lock picker.' I just want to use a pattern lock rather than a pin lock. Exchange doesn't currently support pattern locks.

Thanks in advance for any useful advice you can provide.

Hi,

Installed cherry pie, and I was getting a warm phone and abysmal battery life. So investigated and the exact steps I followed :

1. Install latest cherry pie as of Oct 4.

2. Immediately after (without starting the phone in between), installed stock kernel and larger APN list

3. Booted.

4. Signed in to Google account and installed terminal emulator. No paid apps so no auto installs from Android. Rebooted after this. Checked /sys/power/wake_lock. Empty most of the time.

5. Then set battery mode to maximum battery saver (instead of night-time). Rebooted. Now whenever I check /sys/power/wake_lock, I get PowerManagerService.

The inbuilt app "better battery manager" shows that PowerProfileSvc (com.motorola.batterymanager.Battery Manager) is holding on to wake lock full time. I saw this for 4 continuous hours, which drained the battery from 90% to 28%. I checked 15 times in those 4 hours, wake_lock always contained PowerManagerService.

No other apps installed, no other setting done. Any advice? I am new to Android but not to linux.

Am I pointing fingers to BatteryManager incorrectly? Any solution?

thanks very much

Hello, I am really new to the whole flashing roms business but decided to go for it last night. So I followed the instructions to flash CM7 on my Defy. Worked great but needed the Android Market but could not access the .zip i put on my SD card. So without thinking much I installed a custom recovery defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed (1).apk but I believe that 2nd init is the custom recovery ( but I couldn't access it after flash was complete). After I installed the custom recovery I rebooted my phone and it got stuck on the M logo. I can access the bootloader menu and the recovery menu but have not been able to do anything that helps. I have RSD lite but does not recognize the .sbfs that I have downloaded. Please help me. I am out a phone and we all know how crappy that is. Thanks so much!

Hi, thanks, do you mean this wiki guide?

How can I find out my firmware version? Under software information, I've the following:

Android version - 2.2.1

Baseband version - 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2

Kernel version - 2.6.32.21-g6e170e7

Build number - 1.82.707.1 CL317545 release-keys

Software number - 1.82.707.1

Browser version - WebKit 3.1

I'm guessing it's 1.82.707.1? The wiki guide however only says that firmware 1.74 needs to be downgraded. If I were to assume that 1.82.707.1 needs to be downgraded too, can I use the same procedures as 1.74 to downgrade it?

Thanks.
