I think each phone is different in how they use battery. This is a great list of ways to save battery but ultimately it comes down to how the individual has their cappy set up. On my phone the screen uses more juice than anything else even on ics. With ics I got about half the battery than with Cm7. Other people said they had the best battery life ever with ics. It really comes down to how many apps you have, how many widgets are on the homes screens, and how many processes are running on the phone at any given time. More apps equals less battery life. Same with widgets. Take off apps you don't use, and use titanium backup to freeze the ones you seldom use. Unfreeze them when you want to use them. Still though every phone is different so the user will have to play with that individual phone to get the most juice. Overall this thread is very helpful. Good job

Hello,

I am currently on mintberry MIUI 1.11.11, the problem is that I want to use odin to flash stock rom but odin doesnt recognize my phone! I have installed samsung kies and samsung drivers several times but still the galaxy S driver installation fails. Is this due to MIUI? Any help would be highly appreciated!! I am using windows 7 x86.

Can someone tell me How to do the battery pull calibrate ??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Charge your phone to 100%. Turn it off. Charge to 100% again. Boot into ClockworkMod with 3 finger salute. Hit Wipe Battery Stats. Now let the battery run down making sure you have a journaled ROM so when it dies you don't get data corruption.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] KBS720:
This is because s2 only has 480 x 800 resolution and should only be installed with the 480 x 800 resolution of the launcher. The other resolutions are intended for other phones with different resolutions.

It has more info and some more customizations like the versions with corners that i use on my sgsl.

It also has some guides on how to modify the launcher more.

Hey, it looks like mine's going back as well.

I'm a little unsure of which version HTC rom was default on it because I bought it from Pixmania and not a carrier.

It originally had Vodafone branding and the box is written in German.

I don't think I've changed off of the original kernel or radio as I've only switched roms through ROM Manager since I rooted the phone using these instructions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapsey:
Greetings gurus,

After an entire day of googling around I'm quite fed up and desperate for a solution. I ran unrevoked on my HTC Desire with a custom (and obviously totally f'd up) image. Now it won't boot past the HTC screen.

So it won't boot and it has S-ON. Is there any way to restore it? HBOOT works, but when I hit recovery it just shows the HTC screen and stops there. So it looks like I bricked my recovery as well.

I have messed around with fastboot quite a bit and I can enable SD (qxdm 0) and get a CID. However flashing with a recovery image is refused (probably because of S-ON).

I have a spare SD card so I would be able to make a goldcard, even though I'm not able if that would help my situation at all.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. I have no desire (ha ha.) to buy a new phone just because this one is too stubborn to boot.

UPDATE: Managed to fix it myself using the "how to ruu your desire" guide on sadevil.org!
[Verizon Droid Charge] kraisydave:
Gingerbread OTA update! Is my Android phone ready?

Any customizing of your phone can hurt it! Complete at your own risk.

Wonder if your Android phone is ready for an Over The Air (OTA) update? People keep asking varying questions about this OTA.

The Droid Charge is about to get an update from Froyo to Gingerbread. I made this vid to help answer questions about the process helping you make sure your phone is ready.

Developer Imnuts provided a great “how to” for preparing your phone if you are running anything but stock. Backup first as this will erase your phone!

With the release of the source code for Gingerbread, it seems that Verizon has finally accepted a gingerbread build for the DROID Charge. Since many people are running a custom ROM, you won't be able to get the official OTA, especially if you're mixing the ROM, Kernel, and Modem versions. This will give people a quick "how-to" for being able to accept the OTA update. The biggest reason for this would be to get the official modems, as well as being able to get a system dump and stock kernel. NOTE: This process will wipe all of your user data and reset everything back to stock. Backup your data prior to following this guide. I am not responsible for any problems you encounter when following this guide. Do all of this at your own risk.

Download Odin and the EE4 Factory Image

Reboot your phone into Download Mode (power off, then plug in the USB cable attached to your computer while holding in the volume down button)

Open up Odin and make sure that your phone is detected, if not, unplug your phone and plug it back in. Only one COM port should show up yellow in Odin. Also, ensure that your battery is in before flashing.

Extract the *.7z file that you downloaded for the EE4 Odin file so that it is a .tar.md5 file

Click on PDA in Odin, and browse to the freshly extracted .tar.md5

Uncheck the F. Time Reset Box and Re-Partition box, leave the Restart box checked. Do not check/uncheck any other boxes.

Press Start and Odin will begin flashing your phone. Your phone will restart after it is complete, which should take less than 2 min.

Setup your device and you're ready for the OTA update. Do not root your phone, deodex it, or anything else. Doing so will prevent you from accepting the OTA update properly.
[General Questions and Answers] InflamedSoul:
Hey people,

I got a little question and it'd be nice to get some answers. On the "Magic-Sim" website, I found that lil gmate dual sim adapter. It's a device which acts as a sms modem connected to your smartphone, enabling you to run your phone with 2 sim cards at a time. At about 50£ its not very expensive but i asked myself how it could become a bit cheaper. Technically, this device is just a "modem" for sms and telephone calls, redirecting them via bluetooth to the smartphone.

Well. My 5 year old sony ericsson is kinda able to do so too, but it just supports java programming. Does anyone know a way to use this old phone like the gmate device?

Unpack the zip and unpack it again on the Apk file name,then install,probably better on pc then transfer over

Its a 3 file zip. Uncompress with root explorer, and move the files to your titanium backup folder and restore with titanium backup. Then you should he good

I did a nand backup before flashing official KJ6. I was on kj aosp.

Backup proccess went fine, then I tried official kj6 but didn't see much improvement so I flashed drhonk kj1 kernel for recovery, and tried to go back using my backup.

however, I got an error message:

restoring system...

E:format_volume failed to unmount "/system"
Error while formatting /system!

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
GB seems to have an issue with unmounting the system. I have never been able to do a complete restore from a nandroid backup while running GB.

However, you can do an advanced restore, and then restore your data only - that seems to work fine. So you flash the GB rom of your choice (be sure to have a modded kernel with cwm), then advance restore your data in cwm, and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
Its possible, just a few extra steps.

First you need to flash Bali kernel.

Second, reboot recovery

Next, restore your nandroid.

Finally, flash back

kj1 voodoo/cwm kernel
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
+1

This process will work. Just make sure you have everything on your SD card before proceeding through cwm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
Well, this morning after writing this post I figured I could just reflash the ROM i had and then just restore /data. I did that, however for some reason I'm missing now the TwLauncher, only GB launcher is present. It's not big deal, I kinda like it. I think it's because I flashed the official KJ6 AOSP style rom (from airfluip) instead of the one I had, which was leak kj6 aosp style, so maybe the official one doesn't include TWL, who knows. Anyway, all my apps and data is there, so it's all good now.

[General Questions and Answers] droidles:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4g running on Tmobile. I rooted the phone when it was using stock Froyo over a month ago I upgraded my phone software and it now runs Gingerbread 2.3.6. The phone is functional and works on wireless for internet only but I can't make phone calls or get phone calls, the message in the title appears. I have talked to Tmobile and they can't help me but suggested xda developers. I used Titanium backup before I upgraded the software.

Questions:

1. If I unroot my phone will that enable me to make phone calls on Tmobile?

2. Will a restore from Titanium backup help get me back to Froyo?

3. If not what other suggestions do you have?

Fortunately I have a google voice number and can forward my calls to another phone on tmobile.

Any and all help is appreciated.

[HTC Desire S] milesofeight:
Hello!

I am new with android devices, the only thing that connect us ( me and android) i is the fact of my ownership of HTC desire S.

Yesterday, HTC desire S has made a proposal to upgrade the androis version from 2.3.3 (??) to 2.3.5. And HTC sense to 3.0. I did it through a Wifi connection, of course. (237mb)

I like the new Android very much! 3D emulated desktops look really nice, locked screen looks better too. I also like that the amount of free RAM is shown in the upper menu.

But there is just one little thing that confuses me: the screen just wont turn on after 15-20 minutes of standby. Well, it sometimes does not! It may turn and it may turn not.. such a russian roulette. It becomes active when I charge phone, or connect to a PC, or receive a phone call. But not when I want to make a call, or simply check mail and write an sms.

The only way to make screen turn on again is to either plug in a charging mini usb cable or remove - insert battery.

Could this be an extra feature of this new android 2.3.5 or sense ui 3.0 ?

If that's the case I am dissatisfied and lookign forward to downgrade to 2.3.3 (or 2.3.4, not sure what did I have)

Please provide an advice what to do in this situation. !

Thanks in advance!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okty2k:
Hi guys,

just came back from me business trip and realized that.. I have posted something totally useless.

So I came back, with the same request, but properly explained.

I have and issue with my Desire HD. There is a strange problem with the magnetometer. I took me a while to find out that is connected to it, because.. sometimes by screen just remains blocked. There is no response from it to touch. After some seconds (between 1 and 20), it works. But, the compass is not working (if I check with some sensor application it says that magnetometer is not present.

Sometimes, the best workaround is to disable screen rotation (that is also somehow strange to me, as I don't really see the connection).

After a factory reset (install new ROM, etc), everything is OK until I use the GPS the first time.

So, the questions now:

1. As the sensor works (sometimes for days), I expect to be a 'software' problem. How do I manually reset the magnetometer? I have read that for Galaxy (for example), you can do that by getting in some hidden factory menu...

2. Is it posible to disable the sensor totally? I would not like to do that, as I would like to have the screen rotation, but it can be handy to be able to enable/disable it.

Thanks for all your answer
