[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archabaddon:
Thanks, I'm trying that right now. I had another utility that asked me what file system is used. Does Android use FAT32? I know it doesn't use NTFS :P
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
I know that's what the SD card should be formatted to, I assuming the internal memory is the same.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archabaddon:
Windows is saying the drives are empty. On the HTC, I get the picture of the phone with a red hazard symbol, like it's not being recognized...

Edit: I finally got the computer to recognize the "Android Boot Loader Interface" from HBOOT, but can I access the internal storage from here, or would I have to actually let the OS load up?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
Did you have the phone fully boot or no? I know when I used the Clear storage function before I had to reboot the phone before my PC would recognize the drive...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archabaddon:
I've now restarted the phone, but I get the same disk error as in the OP: "Please insert a disk into Removable Drive x:". There are two drives.

Edit: Looks like I get the same thing when I booted into RECOVERY from the HBOOT screen or when I initially load the phone (haven't done ANY set up to lessen chances of corruption of recoverable files). It's like they're registering as Removable Drives without any media inserted... :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
I'm assuming that you are mounting the phone after you plug it into your PC right? If you pull down the status bar you'll see the usb symbol, select it and make sure you select the mounting option...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archabaddon:
Yeah, it looks set to Charge Only, and the only way I can change that is be starting to configure the phone. Just hoping I do a minimal amount of damage to any files I might be able to recover.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
You get that message if you don't mount the drives. In recovery you have to navigate into advanced options and mount the sd card and emmc so that your PC will recognize the drives.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archabaddon:
OK, so all is not lost :)

Apparently, when one uses the CLEAR STORAGE option, it clears user data, but retains the rest of the file structure... including my wife's beloved pictures :D

With VZ Backup Assistant and her Google account, I can recover all of her contacts. So I've lost SMS messages history and apps... and I'm OK with these. I think she'll be OK too now that she knows her pics are safe.

I've learned a few things today, and will manually move her pics to the SD Card after this, in case the tech support guy (me) makes any more bonehead mistakes trying to fix a half-baked VZ OTA update. If I can convince her to root her phone, Titanium Backup can take care of everything else in the future.

Regardless, thanks for the help jackbtha1 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opensourcefan:
Can anyone confirm if the Band Selection menu is available. It's critical for me being on Bell's swiss cheese network to be able to manually select a band to get service in a particular area. Otherwise I'll need to wait an extra month and go with Rogers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
I don't understand what you mean. The phone's compatible only with Bell's 850/1900 HSPA bands. What other bands can you switch to? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] opensourcefan:
Through the band selection menu you can choose to only use 850 and not have it search for 1900 constantly. In an area where 1900 doesn't penetrate very well it will intermittently fall back to 850 but will always continue to search for 1900 which leads to a lack of signal most of the time.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarknessWarrior:
Ok, i searched and couldnt find anything like this, so if there's already answered somewhere please point me in the right direction.

Lately, sometimes i've been getting these sudden drops on battery when i check the chart it looks something like this:

Info:

Stock JVT ROM

CF-Root 4.3 Kernel

Yes, i've flashed my phone with another ROMs (CM7.1, JVS, JVT) and yes, i've calibrated the battery. I started getting these even before i started messing with the phone's ROM/Kernel (with the stock unrooted JVH the phone came with).

Is it normal? Is there something wrong with the batery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Herman76:
That looks more like your phone is doing a reboot. When your phone reboots it uses some battery so the "stats" will show lower after the phone have booted again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarknessWarrior:
i didnt reboot my phone and i don't really think it rebooted (not sure tho)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Noticed it looks like there was a signal drop at that time? When your phone loses signal it spends a lot of power searching for it, so that could explain it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhu1:
That screeny clearly shows a red area in signal line, so certainly signal dropped so it could be the reason for such a huge battery drop in such an instance. Has happened to me before, when I keep my phone switched off for some minutes.
[Nexus S General] nickmv:
So, I decided to give the final b12 release of the SDK port, and during installation, I wiped both caches, but completely forgot to wipe data/factory reset.

Interestingly, the phone booted up fine! Widget locker crashed on bootup, at which point I was like "huh????". Anyhoo, everything for the most part seemed to work fine. I know this is probably useless info, but I thought it was pretty funny that it worked.

I ended up rewiping and flashing correctly. Something tells me I'll reflash my CWM backup from 2.3.7 before end of night :D
[Nexus S General] corythug:
I've done similar things by accident with no ill effects on my ns4g and epic. Nice to not have to set anything up, but I always redo and wipe incase something behind scenes is corrupted or duplicated or just plain broken.

Follow the leader @corythug ;)
[Nexus S General] bdpyo:
Interesting thread is interesting....
[Nexus S General] diamond_vdf:
had the same.. flashed from cm7.1.0.1 onto ICS port b12, but the camera fc does appear often.. market crashes with new update also.. anyone a suggestion how to block the auto update for the market?

and has anyone tried to install DSP manager? need it because of it's perfect bass boost... my AKGs are vibrating like subwoofers in a disco :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerm1027:
I've google and searched for this problem on and off and I can't seem to find a solution. What I did find is the problem might be related to sync data corruption, especially with the G1, which would make sense. In fact, I had to reflash several ROMs due to data corruption. However, what gets me is that I can view contacts just fine and I can still sync without errors. The acore process only force closes when I try to open the new contact screen. This effectively prevents me from adding new contacts.

I should note that just recently flashed GB based RandomROM Thunderhawk in light of my latest data corruption incident with SyndicateROM frozen 1.2. It started with sync data, and eventually spread to the point where my launcher wouldn't load, and I couldn't open any apps without some process FCing.

Before, I was running

ROM: Syndicate ROM Frozen 1.2

Kernel: Genocide 2.0

Modem: EH17

Now I'm running

Random ROM Thunderhawk EI22

Nubernel 2.6.35

EH17 (same from before)

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruhai Hu:
I would guess you might need to do a clean wipe of the system...

I always seem to run into some kind of issues if I don't wipe it clean x3 on everything. Except battery.

I also try to do roughly a weekly back up in case I screw up my phone or the rom i am running goes to crap... its happened... bluetooth dock causing phone to reboot incorrectly. Not sure what caused that but haven't had it happen yet on ACS ICS v4.

You could back up the system you have running. Then flash clean a new system grab that particular apk and wipe then restore the old system and then put in the working apk?

I don't know just food for thoughts.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerm1027:
I did wipe 3 times (user data, cache partition, and Dalvik cache) prior to installing Thunderhawk... plus the custom boot and shutdown animations I flashed wiped the cache a 4th and 5th time. The system shouldn't be corrupted, but as of now it's the only lead I have, and beats reflashing and starting over again. Appreciated the input.

BTW - I did see a script in the Random Extras folder to enable journaling. I'm not entirely sure what journaling is, but would it help prevent further data corruption in the future? What are the Pros/Cons of enabling journaling?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtex06:
Sounds as though you might have some errors of some sort in your contacts vcard. I would try to delete all contacts , back them up first. If it acts normal then add them one by one. Another route would be to reload the contacts program . If you need help with that let me know.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alias8818:
I've seen the Google+ and account sync fudge up contacts. Sometimes they release patches in the threads for the ROMs. I am on ERA's Beta 3.3, and they had previous issues as such.

Wiping and doing the 2,254 steps to get ready for a ROM, and then reflashing might help. Be cautious at what accounts you sync at first. One of them may be corrupt.

Just a thought!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerm1027:
By reloading, do you mean simply restarting the program, or reinstalling? I've already done the former with no luck. Not sure how to approach the latter. I will clean out the contacts (again) and try to monitor the syncing. This is going to be fun...

Another relevant piece of data: I have 3-5 gmail accounts synced to my phone at any given time. Currently, I have 1 work email (have 3 work emails total), and 2 personal. One I use for job applications and the other is actually for personal use. Whew... its a total of approx. 150 unique contacts. I have no idea how many duplicates I have. I also have 1 facebook account synced. I know its a lot for a human to manage, the number is insignificant for a 1.4GHz machine.

UPDATE:

So, I just deleted all my contacts and I can now add new contacts! YAY!!! :-D

I also successfully synced my personal email, which has the bulk of my ~150 contacts, and still no problems! So far so good. However, I'm having trouble syncing my work email (using extra security), as well as my job application email. Poop.

I also uninstalled Google+ prior to deleting all my contacts, so I can't pin-point the exact problem. Also poop. Will keep you all posted if anything new comes up. Thanks for the help.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerm1027:
I'll disable auto-sync. I don't really use Google+, but it is installed and logged in. I'll uninstall.

Thanks for the tip.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el3ctrik:
I have a UK-bought SGT10.1, which I rooted shortly after purchase and installed CWM Recovery using Odin. I've been running In Paris for a while, and was about to update to v5. Last time I downloaded pershoot's kernel from droidbasement, I saw an updated version of CWM Recovery here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2370.

Being a security-type, running the latest versions is always the best option to me - and seeing I know my way around the console I figured I'll install adb/fastboot and use that this time instead of Odin. So I downloaded the SDK, installed the Tab 10.1 drivers (I've reinstalled Windows since I rooted), and grabbed the fastboot .exe from the previous revision and placed it inside android-sdk\platform-tools next to adb.

Now I'm trying to follow the instructions to install the extracted .img - but having some issues getting into fastboot mode in order to execute the commands. Running adb devices results in expected output, as does adb reboot recovery. However running adb reboot bootloader causes the device to reboot all the way back through to the lockscreen. I see some advice stating that to manually enter fastboot you reboot the device holding power+vol down, then pressing down to switch to the second option that isn't download mode. However that to me is the option to manually enter CWM Recovery, so now I'm confused. Running fastbooot reboot-bootloader cause

I don't want to brick my device, so I figured I'd ask for some advice here for getting into fastboot mode, and ask whether I can just flash the .zip inside CWM Recovery or if that is a very risky move?

Thanks in advance
[Nook Color General] zenaxe:
Anyone else having trouble running the Nook Android App with CM7.1.0 stable with the default 160dpi setting? I just migrated my NC from 7.0.3 to 7.1.0 and I'm having issues with the magazines (they are all "on top" of one another when you try to expand the stack) and the informational windows are all the wring size. I tried clearing data from manage applications and also uninstalling and resinstalling the app. Nothing seems to fix it. It's kind of a pain.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
It is a known issue and a problem with the app.
[Nook Color General] refreblast:
So, there is not a fix for it currently. What I end up doing is archiving all the magazines but the one I want to read and the archive it when I'm done and unarchive the new one. Its a long process but it works. I don't want to have to change my DPI every time I want to read. Maybe someone will decompile the API and see what they can do to it, just like the original Netflix APK.
[Nook Color General] zenaxe:
Thanks for the info, guys. It seems ironic that the nook app would not work properly on the nook. :) I guess I will just do the archiving thing until B&N gets it straight.
[Nook Color General] ramrodz69:

Download LCD density set it to 161 ,reboot and your nook App will work as it should .
[Nook Color General] patruns:
That will screw up the market. You can use it to change the density for the session but I would not set it to remain on reboot.
[Nook Color General] I'mDan2:
A possible solution for you

I use Nook Odds and Ends from the Market. Set dpi to 150 and all works well for me. I am on Phiremod, but it is based on CM7 so should get same results.

[Motorola Atrix 2] thekurrgan:
This is a motorola bug. It exists on the Atrix 2, Droid 1, Droid X, and Droid X 2.

It has something to do with the method the wireless radio in the phones notifies the AP that it is going into low power standby. So far I've been unable to determine the EXACT reason that it does this, but have a feeling its related to using WPA/WPA2 and sending the LPN to the AP with that enabled.

I'm trying to figure it out, and if any one else experiencing problems with wifi where it drops connectivity after 2-5 minutes, please let me know the following info:

Length of SSID

Brand of Router / model.

Encryption type: EG, WPA2/CCMP (CCMP=AES on some devices)

length of encryption key.

I'm going to try and find a way to fix this at the router, provided the settings are available.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mariol66:
Ssid is the same as router name WRT330N. No encryption. Got my new skyrocket no more wifi issues
[Motorola Atrix 2] theandre:
I am experiencing exactly what you described, every time I connect to WPA2 network at my college I experience weird problems. For example when I stream music with GoogleMusic I can barely go through one song. On the other hand I have no problems at my home where I also use WPA2. The most confusing thing is that my phone acts weird on unsecured networks too.

Do you think this is a software issue ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] malch99:
For those who are seeing the poor WiFi connections that lock up after a few minutes...

Go into your router settings and disable WMM.

I am told (by a reliable source) that the problem resides in some T.I. drivers commonly used in Moto phones and it's exacerbated by overly strict code in many routers.

In any event, I was suffering terribly unstable WiFi connections that would lock up every few minutes. As soon as I disabled WMM on the router, everything started working cleanly and has remained that way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] theandre:
Thanks for the info. What should we do if we use wifi in a university or any other place where you can not change router settings? Do you think Cm7/Cm9 will remedy the problem?

Ok, so has anyone attempted to flash this onto our att SGS2? I have been messing with flashing the i9000 ICS directly onto my captivate and other than button configuration it is fun to mess with.

I KNOW some people flashed i9100 based roms onto our i777 phones in the beginning and it is not a good idea.

NOW saying that, for the captivate using the i9000 ICS they have been able to flash back between the ASOP build and CM7 with no issues since they both are using mtd. But since our phones are not using mtd I would assume it would be different? So basically I was wondering if we would be able to flash in between AS LONG AS WE ARENT FLASHING BOOTLOADERS? Glad to see some interest for ICS for our phones as well. I was thinking the older SGS phones would have/will have it before us :(
