I have unlocked my bootloader on my phone. And I tried using the Update Service and PC Companion to update my phone. Yes I realise that unlocking the bootloader will give you problems with FOTA, blah blah blah, and I was being stupid and took Update Service and PC Companion as being wrong and I updated the phone with the Update app on it, it rebooted normally on the first step for a few seconds then it suddenly shut off, then when I tried to turn it back on, it vibrated. It just did that. No boot screen, just a black screen. EDIT: And I found out that the bootloader is still intact by putting it into flashmode and that it might have a corrupted operating system.

I can't find any threads that answer my question and after two days of trying, I've lost patience. So forgive me if this is an obvious 'problem'' to fix...

I am trying to s-off my DS. I did it before no problem but since then I had to send my DS back to HTC and now it is S-ON again.

details: HBOOT - 0.98.0002

De-bugging enabled

fastboot off

firewall off

using W7 64bit

downloaded htc drivers

When running Revolution I get as far as:

" waiting for fastboot...

Rebooting to fastboot (once moar...)

FAILED - Go have some lemonade!

Press (almost) any key to exit."

Any ideas???

[EVO 4G General] whiskey.will:
So I have a 16gig SD Card that I partitioned using gParted, (I was in the process of trying to either dual-boot android ROM's or get a linux OS to boot), anyways it had been this way for awhile and no problems until yesterday. I started using boot manager and after it supposedly installed Evo-Fresh ROM (this would have been booting from SD) I rebooted and it froze so I had to hard reset.

Now I can't recognize this SD card on my phone, though my 2gig SD is fine. But when I connect via USB and mount the device my computer picks up only the FAT32 partition that I had setup, not the EXT4/SWAP extension. I know I need to reformat the entire SD Card, so my question is this.

Can I reformat the SD card somehow on my phone (via terminal, maybe?) or something along these lines so that my phone will read the 16gig SD Card again?
[EVO 4G General] DraginMagik:
i think the free Paragon App will work with ext4.

http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-express/

elsewise, fire up gparted on your linux box and use that.
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
You could format it in amonra. It has a pretty good SD format utility.

Anyone else getting poor battery life with their Razr? I cannot go a full day without recharging at some point. I need a phone to last at least 16 waking hours, so I can recharge at night.

My typical usage pattern is a few hours a day of web browsing and email. I don't game, and I rarely stream video or do anything data intensive. GPS is switched off unless needed, and my screen brightness is set to auto.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] slick4mitch:
Expect poor battery life from any Android phone :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
Also, don't use auto brightness. Just set to a mid setting.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
Mine is great, it got considerably better after a few days of conditioning.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] IP IHI II IL:
I'm actually getting pretty good battery life compared to what I've read so far... Though it wasn't 16 hours, I DID get almost 12 out of it yesterday with pretty heavy usage all day.

I highly suggest using the task managers auto end feature. It'll turn off any apps you set it to after 2 minutes. Fast Reboot is also a very good friend of mine. Though I haven't set any yet, I've played with Smart Actions, and I think with some tinkering, it'll work wonders as well!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
JuiceDefender with root, AOSP helper, and a manual setup is extremely helpful. The data disable override feature should be on as well.

Make sure in-pocket detection is OFF, as well. It kills the battery really really quickly.

As far as smart actions.... Just turn on the premade battery extender and nighttime battery extender. And data off on screen off.

Lastly, screen filter from the market helps a lot.

I got a full day and 2 hours of use today on Wi-Fi. I'm sure on 3G I could get 20ish hours, and on 4G I could get 15ish.

I've found that the the biggest drainer for me is being in an area where 4g/3g is flip flopping alot. Other than that, phones got amazing battery life. Especially on wifi.

Ya, idunno about that....

What has always worked for me is to use an app called brightness profiles. My phone lives at 30% brightness 95% of the time. The RAZR has a super bright screen, 30 is plenty.

Only difference between mine and hers. Mine is rooted. Mind you she has her 4g data on while all day I'm running only 3g. Any more help would be appreciated
[Motorola Droid RAZR] alephnaut:
Put the power control widget on your home screen.

Set brightness to minimum or lowest setting that you can use well.

Use wifi whenever possible. Turn. Off new network notifications.

Turn off animations.

Use a simple, mostly black wallpaper.

Turn off auto data sync.

Since I'm around wifi all day I can easily go 12 hours without a charge and have plenty of battery left. 4g is a total power hog.

If you're outside you might want to buy the power pack... good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] choonwai11:
I think typical android battery life for a normal use will be varies from 6~20 hrs depending on the way u use and what you use.

when running only data/wifi when i need it(off data/wifi when not using), i can get more then 20hrs. if i on data all the time, i can get 8~10hrs with with some facebook, emails and lite web sufing. i will get 4~6 hrs on heavy use on gaming, video and music.

but u need smart action, task killer and ti backup to really optimize the battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] seven_love_xda:
yeah.

battery life is a hard problem for android device for a long time.

but i can use some trips, for example.

1. using the task managers, it can kill some app that you used.

2. using the app called province electricity king or the same function app.

3. turn off the back-data auto sync

for your information, 3q

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thecurran:
I'm a developer, but can't get my Galaxy Nexus working with ADB. I've noticed that in Device Manager "Galaxy Nexus" is correctly installed under a Portable Devices, but there is an unknown device called "Galaxy" which it can't automatically find the drivers for.

I saw this thread but that seems to be talking about drivers for fastboot; I want the ones which enable USB debugging of my apps. Are they one and the same?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
Did you ever find this out, I'm having the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Just install the SDK and it should work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ankitb4u:
I installed the pdanet software to get it recognized in the fastboot mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
If the adb drivers from the sdk kit dont work for you (which they should) then just install the Samsung adb drivers *HERE* and you will be able to select the Samsung driver in the device manager.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
I had the same thing - just go to properties, select to update the driver manually,and then select to choose from a list of known devices(this is really important, don't select to choose your own driver file). Second or third from the top should be an Android ADB interface device. Just select that and it should work just fine ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adeadrat:
You sir, are my hero!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Easiest way is through installing PDAnet, that's what I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eoinoc:
On Windows 7 you go to device manager and select

Updated driver > Browse my computer... > Let me select... > Show all > Have disk

And then browse to the inf file in the

android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb_driver

folder.

It's a pain but it works perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appelflap:
or get a mac :eek: :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eoinoc:
If Google and simply included an install section in the INF file people could have double clicked it and everything would work fine and dandy.

This is not an OS wars case, it's a (minor) 3rd party issue.

Agree, although developing on a unix based machine (mac or linux) is so much faster.

Go to the Samsung Homepage of your Country/Language, go to support -> download center, enter galaxy and use the autocompletion for galaxy nexus, then download the usb driver
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peteypeter:
was not working for me so I force the use of google usb driver from Android SDK by:

- opening windows device manager

- right click -> update driver on the Other devices : Galaxy(exclamation mark)

- Browse my computer option

- Let me pick from my computer option

- click next on the Show All Devices upper selection

- click Have Disk and browse toward your android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver

- select Android ADB Interface, Next and finish with the Yes

adb devices command reply correctly

I've done the same and flash succesfully my Gnex in fastboot (once you're in bootloader the driver to update in device manager is Android 1.0).

Adding new lines in the android_winusb.inf file from the extras\google\usb_driver leads exactly to the same result.

As it's not a conventional method there might be some issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ohTwadi:
Just wanted to say thank you as this has resolved my issue. I had installed Android SDK which didnt help.

Edit: I had to install the driver to DeskNotifier application would work with my Galaxy Nexus. After installing, it did connect fine. Strangely though, as soon as I sent a test msg from my phone to the PC, my computer became extremely sluggish. I am now rebooting
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MajMinor:
USB driver still won't install

Neither the USB driver from Samsung nor Google will work on my Win7 machine with my Galaxy Nexus. I have the device plugged in and in recovery mode. The device shows up as a Galaxy Nexus on the device manager, but is unable to install either one.

Thanks for your help.

It seems that the tools for modding/rooting/etc. are usually written for Windows PCs 1st then later coded to run Macs... Any real reason for that? Just curious if it's easier or simply a preference of the developers. Macs run a unix based OS so you would think that coding the tools would be easier for it, right?

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Herrie82:
I managed to get 2 of my HP Veers bricked while trying to update the modem firmware. This happened while trying to test a release for the community with an update from WebOS 2.1.2 (latest official release, to 2.2.3 (latest available leaked version)).

The devices still power on (HP Logo), but there's no way to get them recognized via USB anymore or to get them into recovery mode.

It looks like the only option to get them working again would be via JTAG flashing.

It uses the Qualcomm MSM7230 chipset, pictures of the boards can be found here:

Google for "Veer disassembly" since I cannot post links yet.

Anyone got any suggestions about how to revive it, what tools to use, what JTAG pin-layout might be etc?

Thanks in advance :)
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Win07:
Probably an answer...

As a fromer HW developper I would avoid opening a device if it comes back under warranty repair. JTAG needs five pins: TDI, TDO, TMS, TCK and TRST

The magnetic Veer port has five pins. The magnetic Veer port can attach an USB as well as a headset. So these pins are multifunctional.

Probably there is also some sort of voltage reference that is able to detect JTAG on those pins.

I also bricked my veer due to simple stupidity ;-) Anyhow I think it is a good chance for a hands-on. Do you have any USB/JTAG cable and appropriate SW?

Probably we need to kill a magnetic USB-cable to get proper contact...

what's your intension, could that be worth a try?

cheers Win07
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Herrie82:
Hi Win07,

Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't around here for a while. I currently don't have a JTAG interface available but was looking at the RIFF Box which seems to support the MSM7230 chipset and would be able to do probing of the pads.

I'm just not sure if it's any good. I'm happy to invest in this device if it would give us some degree of certainty it might work?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Herrie82:
I used a multi-meter to measure the voltages of the different pads, see in the picture. I suspect this should be JTAG pads. Anyone who has any clues, any help is highly appreciated!

[Nook Color General] allerretour38:
Hello,

I was running the B&N 1.1 on my Nook, but I couldn't get Netflix to work on it, and I read that it worked well under 1.3, so I decided to upgrade to 1.3 using a manualnooter method I found on the wiki. So that seemed to do the trick for Netflix, and I was able to reinstall most of the apps that I had before on 1.1, but I noticed that there were a few really basic apps missing. Stuff like Dolphin and Angry Birds. So there seemed to be a problem with Market updates and/or compatibility. I found this:

•Market has limited visibility - This is a known tablet issue, not just a NOOKcolor one.

1.Start Nook Color Tools.

2.Select the "All Settings" button.

3.Unplug your NOOKcolor from computer. (If Plugged in.)

4.Choose "Manage Applications" from the list.

5.Select the "All" tab.

6.Scroll down to "Market" and select it.

7.Tap "Force stop".

8.Tap "Clear cache".

9.Tap the Back button if you have SoftKeys running, else swipe right to left on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (from the clock to the book icon).

10.Scroll up to "Google Services Framework" and select it.

11.Tap "Clear data".

12.Tap "OK".

13.Tap "Force stop".

14.Press the n button to return to your launcher.

15.Start Market.

16.At the "An error has occurred" message, tap "OK".

17.Hold your power button to turn off your NOOK Color from the menu.

18.Turn your NOOK Color back on and give it a moment to find your WiFi connection.

19.Start Market again, and the problem is resolved.​

As a possible fix. When I did that, however, I found that I lost LOTS of apps. There are very few currently in my market. I've read that this can be either a problem with CWN (?) stopping Market updates (Or was it CWR? - I don't even know what either one of those stand for). I've also read that changing density and/or model/manufacturer can help. That's what I'm going to try now, but I'm not sure what to change in density. In build prop, I have the following lines related to density:

#ro.sf.lcd_density=240

ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=169.33333

ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=169.33333​

I've read that I should manually try to change density to 161. Are they saying to change the 2 x-y densities, or to uncomment out the one above it and change to 161? If I do that, then I suppose I have to comment out the two lines below. Is that correct?

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] patruns:
Download LCD Density app and change to 160.
[Nook Color General] allerretour38:
thanks for the reply, but I couldn't get the LCD density app ... because my market wasn't working. Figured out which lines to modify after some experimentation, but it didn't fix the market. Neither did changing man/model in build.prop, nor a few other fixes. So I downgraded to 1.2, which brought back the apps, but I got into an infinite loop on the first reboot. Now trying to decide on next step. Would like to keep stock B&N, but this is getting a little silly. Thanks for the comment, anyway.
[Nook Color General] framitz:
I had tried clearing both Market and framework under 1.3, but clearing framework broke it badly, Market would not even launch at all, so I restored from backup.

Clearing Market cache does, of course help.

Changing density to 160 via Build.prop did improve readability on some screens where previously I saw white on white, but no significant effect on the Market functionality.
