[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groovepeppy:
Hi to all, last night my desire ran out of battery and i' was nowhere near my charger cause i left it at my office.

i try to turn it on and send txt message but it was automaticaly turned off again before i can get to the homescreen.

without waiting too long i try to turn it on again and still i can't get to write a single letter cause it was automaticaly turned off itself again.

this morning when i get my hands on the charger i quickly plug the charger but the amber light aren't turning on, yes my desire wont turn on either, i try to connect it with adb and when i type adb devices the adb tool shows there are no devices connected.

Please help me how to turn my Desire on again, fyi i already plug the charger for more than half hour without any led on my phone lights on.

Anyone knows any workaround on this problem, maybe experiencing the same issue?

Thank's in advance :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalizu:
If you're using the stock battery which is Li-on, then the problem might be that you killed it by forcing the usage after the shutdown. Li-on batteries should NEVER be juiced out to a true 0%, or it will die. That's why the Desire turns off most of the time between 10-15% to make sure this doesn't happen. (Other mobile phones do this too, but they report it to you as 0% instead of the arbitrary 10-15%) I do hope so that this is not the case with your problem. Sorry if I only gave an explanation instead of a solution, but that's all I can think about right now. :P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
try removing the battery and put it again. then plug the charge. wait for some time. hopefully it should fix it, else you need to try replacing your battery if it was not replaced recently.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groovepeppy:
Thank's a lot for your respond my friends

My friend help me by trying to manually (connect the - and the + terminal with his blackberry charger) charge my battery for about a minute and then quickly insert the batt and plug the charger.

The orange light lit again :D but it took about 7 hours to reach 100%, after i unplug, the batt went down faster than Rossi's motoGP bike :(

2 hours standby and it went off.

I thought it better be charged again with the phone off and so i did.

After about 20 min, my phone vibrates as if there were a call coming in (phone was off) so in a rush i quickly unplug the phone and took the batt off (i'm worried it will damage my phone)

Since then, the batt won't recharge AGAIN, the orange led aren't lit no more.

Sorry for those long letters, one more question, do you guys think i have to get new battery or should i try to do the charging again?

Thank's in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
My bet is the battery is gone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
+1

New battery is about £35.. dunno how much that is in Indonesia. I'd strongly recommend buying an original battery also, not a cheap knock off - bad ones can have very poor battery life, overheat, melt (even "explode" sometimes), and just in general kill your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groovepeppy:
thank's a lot guys, will be lookin' for the genuine replacement today, tell ya the result later.

Thank's again for answering my worries

;)

edit:

Ok guys, i got my genuine new battery which cost me around 24-26 Euro's

Test the battery at the store to show that it was charging and it was charging ok so i turn off the phone and go home.

Plug the charger as soon as i get home and the orange led didn't lit, to make the story short i presume that something is wrong with my phone, it drains the battery whether the phone was on or off!

Sending to the Collect Point for sure tonite after work.

Thank's a lot for you who read and answer my question.

My replacement MT4G arrived two days ago and has the bad screen. Today the lower buttons stored working. They offered me a MT4G slide but I don't know if its better. Should I call them back and get it or take a chance with another replacement? They haven't adopted it yet. Don't know what to do. Thank you in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatsuDragneell:
Take the slide dude !

Welcome to the DARKSIDE
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0zenblood75:
Yes its way better , dual core more ram better camera its similar to an htc sensation but with out the qhd display, with better camera and keyboard.

The only con about it for me is that it doesn't have as many roms as the glacier but I'm sure that will pick up soon now that the source code was released
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
It actually has the same amount of RAM, and a smaller display.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Get the Slide.

1. Higher re-sale value... Actually it's much higher.

2. Dual core

3. CM7 is now available for it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billwinkle:
Thanks guys. I called back and said that once they put the order in they can't change it. I guess i, blew my chance. Of course if the next one come in with another bad screen I know what to do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poexone:
The slide would have been a good upgrade. Apparently the doubleshot rom for it is pretty clean.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billwinkle:
Well this replacement has the bad screen and some wifi issues. I'm getting the slide afterall
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
They tried to get me to switch to a Slide too when my most recent MT4G broke.

But I hate slidey keyboards. I mean I HATE them. Plus the slide is a thicker handset, which isn't as pocket friendly.

I told them I'd gladly switch to a sensation, but they weren't going for that. I don't get it. Both are HTC products. They sell them both for $200 with a new contract. What's the different to T Mobile?

I'm 100% certain that my next replacement MT4G will be borked somehow too because it's pretty obvious to me that the product line has dismal quality control. I think the only solution is to let them give me the 4G slide and give it to my wife who loves slidey keyboard phones and upgrade her line to the Sensation and take that one for myself.

(Why didn't I just buy the damned Sensation from the beginning?)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billwinkle:
I'm okay with the thicker phone. I have some paralysis in my hand so I need the thicker phone. I do like the new camera and the high def camera.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snakecharmed:
For the longest time, I was annoyed with the trend of phones moving toward touchscreen interfaces because they lack tactile feedback—not only from the click of a key, but the feeling of the gaps between keys or indentations on keys to know which key you're pressing. I can't dial or scroll through my contacts without looking anymore and the vibration feedback won't tell me where my finger is on the screen. However, at least I have more precise voice command features, and Swype has quickly become my favorite input method for word composition.

I find slide keyboards to go to the other extreme in having to deal with the bulk and the complication of a moving part and trying to type on QWERTY keyboard with only your thumbs. It's not the same as having a full-sized computer keyboard, and I'm much faster with Swype than typing with my thumbs.

If billwinkle can choose between the MT4G and MT4GS for the same price, I say get the MT4GS and if he doesn't like it, sell it on eBay, play panel lottery on eBay for a good MT4G, and pocket the difference. That said, I think the decision has already been made.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeuout:
Thats complete garbage cause i changed my order by calling their shipping dept and talking to them..it took 30 min but worth it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lockdo6307:
i need my ten posts i have a mytouch 4g and would prefer a slide it has a better processor and a slide out keyboard there seems to be more roms coming out for it also
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
The developing sections is deserted right now... maybe in a month we'll have a great assortment of roms...until then I don't think you should say that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IBtokin:
There may not be a plethora of ROMs for the MT4GS, but once you strip out all the bloatware, it is unstoppable! I have tried and tried again to take my phone to it's limit (ie: maxing out open browser windows, opening messages and emails, random apps, etc.) and have yet to experience my phone buckling under the stress I put it through. I actually run out of apps to open before my RAM is depleted. And once I'm finished, the *stock* Task Manager is excellent for clearing out the RAM being used. The dual core is definitely a step up. Everything responds much smoother. My gf has the Glacier and I have the Slide. I see the differences every day. She's about to return hers for warranty replacement and hopefully she gets offered the Slide. My $.02.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Tell her to ask for the slide, not just hope they offer it.

You may have to have 2 warranty replacements before they offer the slide. I have no idea. But it's pretty straight forward. They slide is considered a direct replacement for the Glacier.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Your right, sometimes the CSRs just don't do there job you might have to ask.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billwinkle:
I did end up getting the slide after the second replacement had the bad screen. So far except for the bloat its a very nice phone after all.thank you everyone for helping me make the decision to go with MT4GS. Now I have to learn to root it and get rid of that bloat.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electronicrice:
just a quick question to OP, I have a MT4GS coming in for warranty replacement. Did they send you a new in box device or is it a refurb?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billwinkle:
They send you a new one. But out did not come with headphones which I found odd
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvotony:
It comes in the new box?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billwinkle:
Yes it does. Comes in a retail box with the quick start manual charger battery and back cover of course. I was wondering if they were to charge me if I kept the old battery
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toby4059:
When they give you the slide does it count as an upgrade?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billwinkle:
No. just an exchange
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toby4059:
I think I might call t-mobile tomorrow then and see if I can exchange this thing. So disappointed with quality of all the replacements they have sent me.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsured:
I got a slide as a replacement for my MT4G on Thursday. I'm really torn on wanting to keep it or not. I got the phone because I've been experiencing random drops in all connection to the network. Been having it for a year and their engineers can't solve the problem after everything they have tried. I said then cancel my contract as its cheaper in my mind to pay the etf and go to another carrier with a more solid network even though it would cost more a month. I agreed to this phone to see if the problem would continue with a different handset. It didn't carry over where 4 replacements of the MT4G all had the same connection problem. So I'm satisfied in knowing when I get another phone the connection problems will stop.

It is bulky and when you add a case it's only going to get bigger. The screen is smaller but there has been a huge increase in network data speeds with it. I was getting an average 6-7mbs down where my MT4G was getting between 2.5-3.7mbs. The upload speeds were also an improvement. The processor does feel fast but I'm finding the keys on the slide out to be off set somehow and weird to type. It doesn't feel smooth to type with them with the spacing. Could be I'm not use to a keyboard anymore.

Now it is a new phone and they gave it to me for free. No change in contract length or use of my upgrade. But I'm currently having some trouble looking for directions online to restore root to my phone. If I mail it back as is they probably say warranty is void and charge me. I don't know if they will automatically check for root access to find those people who have rooted their phones. Anyone have input on that?

I also just like the way I have my current phone set up. People will just have to take the option or go into the store and feel one in their hands. Then you can decide how you will like it. I'm tempted to call and find out what the fee is if i don't mail back my old phone. I have a spare line in case I lose my phone etc, but I tried turning it on the other day and it seems dead. Won't turn on when plugged in at all. This way I will keep my MT4G as a backup phone and use it for viewing movie files at work since it is the larger screen. :)

Hi, well I been using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1 for my TF.. something horrible happened..

I backed up my data before I flashed my stuff.. as usual.. but I've never actually have to use the restore feature until now...

Well.. I flash one of the new Kernel, and some other stuff.. and it cause my TF to basically restored itself to Factory mode.

So I used my Back-up from Clockwork.. and it basically only restore SOME of my apps..

Iono if there an option i can change, but the clockwork in my nexus one restores everything...

My question is..

Is there a way to back-up and restore my stuff THE WAY IT USED TO BE next time I mess up? even with the settings and icon placements.

I basically lost 15 lvls in Sentenel 3 + a high score in Dragon, Fly! :( (3 day of grinding)

I still have the back-up files, if there's a way to restore my stuff the way I wanted it'll be greatly appreciated, im still hoping there's something I didn't do right..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
CWM nand restore will put you back EXACTLY to when you made the nand backup. It basically take a "snap shot" of your ROM, settings, everything at that point. So any apps installed or data inquired after the nand backup will be lost when that nand is restored.

For apps and data use Titanium backup, again even with tb, it will restore only the latest data that you made a backup of.

If you play games and don't want to lose levels ect, backup data more frequently. TB even have auto backup schedule you can set
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinnguyen123:
so.. which back up should I use to back up save games? i dont really understand the nand thing.. I have tb too.. but iono why tf doesnt wana back it up..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Use titanium to back up games data.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinnguyen123:
hey wow.. i just use Titanium back up.. and it actually restore my previous data.. :D so happy
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
As I understand it, it is *meant* to work like:

$ dd if=/dev/{internal memory} of=/Removable/MicroSD/{CWK back up dir path...}

but without giving you a whopping 16 or 32 gig image file. Wouldn't be surprised if it was just a TApe aRchive at heart. Which reminds me, I really should boot into CWM and back up my phone :-).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snootched2:
Kinda.. not quite a block for block copy of the raw device (which would give you a 16 or 32 GB file.) Basically it copies all the files out of each partition (ie. data, system) wraps it up into a big image file and generates an md5sum.

Update 11/7/2011

Reworked the contacts to look a little more black, small changes though. Also reworked the stock clock to be more a little more ICS.

Here is a theme I've been putting together for Serendipity 8.1 over the last few weeks based on ICS from the system dump. :)

The theme will work with S8, UnNamed and Cog X2 at this point in time.

I've modded the keyboard, most of the usual system apps like mms, contacts, phone etc and modded the stock lockscreen to have the same clock font as ICS... and more

The only problem is that I cannot for the life of me get the notification text color to change to white. So if you can fix then post up the files and I'll add it in.

I don't plan on porting it to other roms or updating it often as pharmacy school has been pretty cumbersome lately.

Usual stuff:

You flash at your own risk, if it breaks your phone it isn't my fault.

I highly recommend you back-up any files so you can revert if you please.

If I missed anything, I can't think of it now...

Thanks to:

It should work, there isn't much difference between the two roms but I can't guarantee it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
Looks a lot more complete than what I was working on! One thing I did notice is that the signal icon seems to be a bit larger than the rest of the system icons and a tad bit blurry. The icons I was working with seemed to be a bit smaller to match the height of the other icons. I'll attach the SystemUI.apk I was using in case you wanted to compare those icons

Thanks for theme!

i think there's a new Serendipity version coming any day now, so i'll switch back and try it out then. i don't like the stock green on most of these. i don't get why Google doesn't include color choices.

No luck....editing that apk is just giving me problems when I try to make downloads in the market. -_-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
It shouldn't. That is what I did when I ported a white theme (FROST) over from Nexus S to Captivate...... I had to make the text black. So I'm not sure whats going wrong there.

All you're changing is text colors.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lucke:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
yea.... just use root explorer or supermanager(its free) and replace the mms.apk from whatever rom you want. Just make sure R/W is enable when making the change or replace it in the them flash and reflash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Yeah it doesn't make sense, when I change it and go to download an app it tweaks out. The progress bar shows up in the market app and then it force closes. The app won't download until I replace the DownloadProvider.apk with the original one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Are you using the one from serendipity? That rom has its own mods even in systemUI. I know using his the text is black in notification dropdown but when you press it, it changes to white. They have done some "original" stuff in their rom.
