[Samsung Infuse 4G] askjay:
just had the same problem tonight, but when I pulled out the battery it had a fried electronics smell in the battery
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nim.whit:
Same thing happened to me driving home from Thanksgiving break. I've come to the conclusion that if you flash a non Samsung from then you have to have the infuse on to charge. Even with a dead battery I managed to get the infuse on, then immediately shut the screen off for about 30 sec before proceeding to quickly turn setcpu into power save mode before shutting screen off and leaving it off for a few hours. Should veeerryyy slowly but surely charge (stupid samsung ..... takes forever to charge and there are times when the battery goes down in heavy CPU apps or when on 4g, I noe its safer that way but its not like I'm going to have that phone for the next 5 years)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jwrezz:
So glad I found this. My wife's "Infused" Infuse was "acting weird" according to her. Said there was a weird "DOS" like screen for a second, then the dead/grey battery logo. Take bat out and put back in. Nothing. Plug in and start up and it either goes from the Samsung logo to off, and repeat that, or show the Dead/Grey battery thing again. Well, tried the turn on while unplugged, and immediately plug in, and it started up. Even said the batt was 96% charged! Really confusing. So are there any other ROMs usable on this thing? Infused is OK, but man, just not nearly as good as my N1 running CM7.

Thanx again for the tip!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
everything in development is.... obviously. Also, do make sure your read everything first lol it can really help you and other people at the end.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] daytonasportster:
I got the infuse for me and the wife in early December. After the initial charge she used hers for about a day and half then tried to charge it.

Nada.

Tried different USB cables, swapped batteries. Turned out the USB port died. Talk about a PIA!!!

Best buy swapped it out no problem and let me keep all the stuff in the old box.
[XPERIA X10 General] tomcklam:
Please help, My x10i became a brick. :( I could not start up the phone, I am now stuck at the SE logo for hours :confused: ...

I upgraded the phone to 2.3.3 stock SE then I tried to root the phone using a flashtool by azuzu from this website:

http://www.xperiax10.net/2011/09/08/root-your-gingerbread-xperia-x10-tutorial/

I installed Gordon Gate driver 2.2.0.1 before following this guide. Then I followed every steps on this guide and it seems good until I get to step 6 (Upgrade Kernel) I couldn't upgrade and it gives me an error message.

Like this... I saved a screenshot here ...

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10vaOKKuc2c8Tr8QFonD5pd_9Zq86yGa-ldiFXN-eKTs/edit?hl=en_US

Please help me un-brick it... much appreciate for your help....;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Z3US911:
which flashtool version are u using?
[HTC Sensation] mitchsurp:
Can't really believe this hasn't been covered for the Sensation, so here goes nothing:

Many custom ROMs that come with their own hosts file (ones that don't use AdFree Android to manage it) will automagically break apps like Hulu out of the box. Hulu will get to the point where it should start streaming an ad before your video, and it will just hang there. Eventually it gives you a message about your connection being bad, and returns you to the video list.

ROM chefs that create their own hosts file know this, but seem reluctant to fix it. I understand that a large hosts file is a popular feature in ROMs, but not when it breaks apps.

If anyone shares my concern, there is an easy way to fix this. The way I'm going to get around it for now is to first download (if you haven't already) adb. Then run

adb pull /etc/hosts

which pulls it to the local folder. Open the file in notepad, wipe it clean (or remove the hulu advertisers, if anyone can advise on what they are, I would appreciate that so I can have a nice hosts file). Save the file, then run

adb remount

followed by

adb push hosts /etc/hosts

You should now be able to watch Hulu on your Sensation with a custom ROM.

(x-posted from a Sensation ROM thread because I know it will get lost there. Posted here for posterity when people have the question)
[XPERIA X8 General] frank1233:
witch is better x8 or 10 mini/pro??
[XPERIA X8 General] Godra:
X8 have bigger screen and X10 mini better camera (pro has a physical keyboard). So decide what you need more.
[XPERIA X8 General] therkr:
X10 mini pro is kinda small for a phone. If that's your cup of tea then it's the best in its class.
[XPERIA X8 General] pfonck:
I got both X8 and X10 mini pro in my household. Only plus the X8 has got is bigger screen, but that also makes it slower. X10 feels lightning fast all the time while the X8 struggles to push the big screen forward, though DX did a great job optimizing 2D performance.

Oh and the X8 is a girlie phone ;)

If you want a phone to play with buy the X8 (best developer support also), if you just want a good phone go for Mini/Pro.
[XPERIA X8 General] Godra:
If X8 is girly phone then X10 mini is gay phone. :D
[XPERIA X8 General] treebill:
i wouldn't buy either, i would suggest you buy galaxay ace or something similer

once i got my x8 its was fine but then i started noticing small things, fixed focus camera, not great batter life, single touch screen.

pretty much regret ever buying this thing.
[XPERIA X8 General] Godra:
Agree, but X8 is one year old phone and quite cheap.
[XPERIA X8 General] geleroff:
x8 is not single touch...

battery life depends on the use...

just for talking and texting and some browsing i easily get 3 days...

when playing games barely a day
[XPERIA X8 General] aloy99:
True dual touch for x10 mini pro and great gpu due to lower no. of pixels to process.
[XPERIA X8 General] viper001:
Instead of the X8, X10 mini or X10 mini pro....

Why not the XPERIA MINI? >> http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperia-mini?cc=gb&lc=en :D:D:D
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
Just rooted recently, ive seen screen shots of people's SuperUser and it lists a bunch of apps in there. Mine has no apps listed but ive downloaded some apps that require the SuperUser acceptance but they fail to show in this list. Any ideas?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Once you launch those apps then SU should ask to allow access then they will show I the list.
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
For some reason they are not showing in the list....
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Mine shows. does it work. if it does then its not a big deal
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
Hey everyone. I'm brand new to the community and just successfully rooted and installed the latest release of CM7. I tried looking around the forums but couldnt find any answers about getting really bad battery life on the Incredible specifically with CM7. I am actually getting worse battery life than with my stock ROM. I havent adjusted any settings but I did use a battery calibration app after the ROM was installed. There is some problems with the battery readings, specifically with starting at ~90% (I did not overcharge, battery calibration app told me when to calibrate at 100%) and then the quick and unannounced drop off at ~20%.

Anyone have any ideas as to how I might be able to improve this or what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Mine is like this also.

My uptime and wake time are identical so something in the phone is keeping it awake. I'm yet to find out what it is.

What's strange is that I use my display quite a bit (1 and a half hours), yet it only uses 10% and it says cell standby uses the most??
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Cm7 is the best battery life for me.

Get cpu spy the app and check to see if your phone is going into deep sleep
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
Is WiFi on always, or are you updating mail, weather, Facebook and so all the time?
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
gmail is on push

facebook notifications just pop up asap I dunno...

that's it..

Got juicedefender on, but don't want it to disconnect my connection when the phone is idle because I still want to receive notifications almost instantly.. Plus on the battery widget I had "currentwidget" it only used 30mA idle with connectivity on

and like 29mA with it off, so no big deal..

Also, wifi is on but doesn't turn on when the screen is off - it uses 3g....

Today I didn't use my phone much, just sitting at home pretty much and sent about 10 texts, it's down to 55% when I took it off charge about 10 hours ago. But maybe because my wake time is identical to my uptime that could mean something is using the battery...
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
This is what I do. If your phone doesn't go into deep sleep then it will use alot more power than it should
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
http://i.imgur.com/FK5KK.jpg

That's my cpu spy and it seems to be going into deep sleep just fine. After just over four hours im down to just under 70% battery life. I really don't understand what's going on
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Try tiamat kernel version 1.14 on smartass v2
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
For all intensive purposes this is like speaking another language. Could you provide a resource where I might be able to learn what you are talking about
[HTC Incredible S] darkidz555:
try to adjust the brightness to 30% and close the 3g or wifi and data sync off when not in use hope this help
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Go to the development section, and find the kernel called tiamat. Flash version 1.14 in recovery.

Download set cpu, set whatever max and min freq you want and set the governor in the drop down menu to smartass v2.
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
Well this has spiraled downhill fast for me. I attempted to flash the kernel mentioned above. I cleared both the caches and then my phone got stuck on the HTC logo at boot. I attempted to restore using clockwork but I got an MD5 error. No big deal, just had a fresh root anyways. did a factory reset, re installed CM7 and Gapps, everything booted up fine and I got all the basics set up again. Then went back into recovery to flash the kernel and again it is getting stuck on the boot screen. Anyone have any ideas? the effort and help is greatly appreciated
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
Are you sure that you downloaded the Kernel for the Incredible S and not for another device?

I just flashed Timant 1.1.5 with no problems.

You could also try using the Kernel Updatet Utility.

/ Jess Kölner /

/ Sent from my phone /
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
Just double checked

This is the kernel that the previous poster told me to use, specifically to use 1.1.4. I guess I can try it with 1.1.5 and see if that works :S No idea why 1.1.4 from that site won't work though

**EDIT** attempting to flash 1.1.5 also results in getting locked on the bootscreen -.-
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
You're the first person I've seen have any issue flashing tiamat.

When flashing don't wipe anything and leave your phone for a bit it might take a bit longer to boot up.
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
FML. newbie mistake. for whatever reason the http://tiamat-dev.com/ site only has links on the side for the Droid Incredible 2 and not the Incredible S. As such, I was, in fact, using the wrong kernel. I managed to find a direct link/ elsewhere on the in the forums. Disaster has been averted. I will report back on (hopefully) battery life increase. Thank you everyone for your time.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Yeah dude cm nightlies 114 and tiamat 1.14 smartass v2 UV - 75 = insane battery life. Car charger is a waste of money with these settings.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Agreed best battery life I've had on an Android phone yet.
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
Any chance you could take the time to tell me what nightlies are? and how much different they might be from regular CM releases? also what do you mean by "UV - 75"?
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Nightlies are the nightly builds of cm7 they are released every day around noon and contain very few updates of cm7 but are the main way of beta testing. The version you have downloaded is essentially nightlies 109 because 108 was deemed bug free the stable nightlies 109 was declared the next user friendly version of cm7. There is a thread for this on the Dev forum.

As for UV it stands for undervolting. Read about it if you want. If not grab incredicontrol from the market. After opening you'll see the voltage settings for each CPU freq just hit all - 3 times you'll be undervolted by 75.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Oh I forgot to mention if you do download incredicontrol never select "set on boot"
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
haha thanks for the tip. Already had it installed and for some reason I decided to check set on boot.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but what is a kernal. how would i find out what one im running now and should i use the one your talking about if i have not had any problems so far?
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
The kernel is the backbone of the entire os.

You can check under settings / about phone to see what one you're using. If you didn't flash one you're using the generic cm7 one.

I find tiamat wayyy better
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
I've went ahead and downloaded tiamat 1.1.5

installed it, said complete, rebooted but still looks like it has the cyanogenmod kernel.

it's..

2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g9e5cdf1

android@portatile#1

edit: now I have no wifi -.-

restoring back now.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Probably installed the one for the wrong phone...

Get the 1.14 one from the development forum on here.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Reading the stickies on the forums pay off as well as the xda glossary
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
I did, and when I pressed download it took me to this page: http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_incs/

I selected 1.1.5, put onto root of SD card and went into recovery and flashed the zip. booted up, same cyanogenmod kernel but wifi does not work.

You told me to put on 1.1.4, not same thing is happeningf again, so i'll have to restore to how it was, dunno why it's not working :(
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
I was just thinking, his issue might stem from the fact he's still technically s-on
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Just to let CM7 users know that please do not use Titanium Backup to restore your applications / data if you just ported over from other Sense-based ROMS.

Most likely you will receive an error (com.phone.process ended) and your phone will keep automatically switching to Airplane Mode.

CM7 ROM is one of the best in terms of battery life(standby for me..), but nonetheless I still miss my Sense functions like the "Pocket Mode" .

Hopefully CM7 comes up with newer version that includes the "GinTonic" thing which my friends are using on their SE phones with the Sense functions. :D

@ScoobySnacks , Thanks for helping me along the way to flash CM7 and having faith in this wonderful ROM. But just curious that why my battery life is just a little better than stock when in "heavy usage" (games,apps) but for standby is awesome!!
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
everyone thinks you must have s-off to access root files. this is not the case. I have S-ON, I have custom ROM's, I can access root files via applications. I can do everything a rooted phone can do. Flashing a kernel is just adding on to the ROM. I believe with S-ON, the only protected files are the RADIO'S (which I won't even touch anyway)

I have the 4EXT recovery (or whatever) and can install zip files via recovery mode. Everything is fine. May be the fact I have HBOOT 1.16.0000 though?

I had some trouble putting on a ROM because of my HBOOT I think, but in the end it was fixed.

After putting on the kernel, it boots up and works like normal, however wifi cannot start (says error in settings) and when I check the kernel it still says cyanogenmod's.

so I went back into 4EXT recovery and restored from a backup. All good now but I would like better battery life if possible!
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
How did you manage to have 4EXT recovery without even getting S-OFF at all?

What I will reccomend you to do is to actually use the AlphaRevX to S-Off your phone and then start by doing the following steps :

1. Wipe your files completely ; cache and clear all partitions

(using ClockworkMod or whatever)

2. Flash in the following order : CM 7.1 --> Google Apps (Gapps for your Android Market) --> Tiamat 1.14 / 1.1.5 for Incredible S.

3. Revert back to Old Market because new market sucks because it lagsss like nobody's business!

4. DONE! (do whatever you want).

In my humble opinion , I think it doesn't hurts to have S-OFF..

For me I don't care about my warranty because it seems to be voided cause my sticker indicator turned red (maybe because I bring my phone to the toilet while bathing to listen to songs)

So I believe that my warranty has voided and it doesnt hurts to have my phone S-Off. But for your case , even if you S-OFF and when you need the warranty you can always S-ON back. (Just check the forums for confirmation)

So good luck to you and all the best! Do share your experience here ! :D
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
I did install in that order. And the new market is good! I can't get s-off because my hboot is not supported yet...
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
I restored apps in titanium fine...

You just have to be careful what you restore, no system apps.

I find my battery much better in every regard
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Are you sure the new market is good? imo is damn lag.. lol I just love the "Editior's Choice" and "Staff Choice" but seriously it lags .. when browsing and downloading compared to the old market.
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
Yes but the kernel is a huge component...

Why would it work for everyone else but you?

Think logically here
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Oh thanks for correcting me . I believe I've included some system apps that's why I'm always experiencing that problem . but I think if I backup my CM7 apps and data and restore using titanium is okay :D
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Hmm could be. I can't get s-off anyways so it looks like I can't do it then? Is it a big difference after installing the kernel? Is it worth it?
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
I liked it much more though the kernel that comes with cm7 is still good.

If you are happy with how smooth it is and the battery life, I wouldn't stress over it.
[HTC Incredible S] jakeyo:
Well battery does last a day and it is pretty smooth, but would like my phone to last at least 2 days...
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
How do i get the old market back? this new one in CM7 is just not working for me. Often downloads will take 5-10 minutes just to start and often I have to clear the market cache just to get it to that point
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
Ok . install the apk(the attached file I uploaded). credits to the app developer.

take note that you need root access to attain the old market back :D

Hahaha an apk is much better . no need for confusing root explorer delete . the app i've upload is so much convenient .
[HTC Incredible S] snoopz:
I've one question. I've flashed CM7.1 stable + tiamat 1.1.4. Do I need to install set cpu or i can choose smartass V2 profile under settings-> cm settings-> perfomance -> CPU settings -> governors tab ?
[HTC Incredible S] jkolner:
You don't need SetCPU - CPU settings in CM7 is instead.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
Is it advisable to install tiamat?

If anything goes wrong what would happen?
[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
Advisable yes tiamat kernel rocks imo, and just do a backup before you flash tiamat...
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
How should I exactly flash tiamat kernel? I tried this before, but android.phone kept crashing. Maybe I did something wrong? Everybody's so behind tiamat, so I wouldn't want to give up on it just yet.
[HTC Incredible S] lundberg512:
Make sure you have the version for incs then just boot into recovery and flash the kernel and reboot and enjoy grease lightning ;)

[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
That's what I did in the first place. But couldn't make/receive calls after.

I dont mean to bring back an old thread but when you install Taimat do you have to wipe any cache? Im using clockworkmod 5?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teenphresh:
I had recently rooted the Samsung Captivate. And was trying to install cyanogen mod onto it. I installed it and everything went through ok... until the phone went to the AT&T screen, had like a fuzzy noise like screen coming up and went black.. then there was a voice saying something about data or something. It just keeps repeating itself over and over and over and over again. My phone is able to charge though to say the least. Is there a fix for this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
I had a bootloop after flashing an AT&T bootloader. Since I had a ROM on my SD card already, I just booted to recovery and re-flashed a rom.

Try to get into recovery, if not - download mode and odin to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Sounds like the phone is trying to do a voodoo lagfix conversion. I would flash a stock ROM. Then take the stuff you want to keep off the phone. Leave the folder named voodoo. Then, reformat the internal sd card. Put your stuff back on the phone. Then flash whatever you want, per the directions from the thread of whatever ROM you want.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
I agree with haley. The only time the phone speaks to you when booting up would be if it's trying to do a voodoo conversion. Which does not go well with cm7. Flash stock via odin, then root and get cwm, and flash cm7 through cwm. Nothing should go wrong then
