[HTC Amaze 4G] icanhazxda:
I've noticed while spec'd as MicroUSB, the OEM cable for the Amaze has a different design for the end that interfaces with the phone. It's very solid and snaps into the receiving port. All other "standard" designs fit loosely in the port and I feel it will wear it out over time. Is there any place to buy the OFFICIAL cable without having to go for the wall plug as well? Being that the other end is standard USB, I could plug it in to the car charger with a female USB out. My current charger is a job I bought from a T-Mobile retail store that fits way too loosely since it's the typical MicroUSB form factor.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xndabox:
I believe you can call Htc and order one. I remember someone saying they even got theirs for free. Check the htc websitefor info
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
According to HTC's limited manufacturer's warranty they will replace every accessory that came with your phone once.

Give them a call.
[HTC Amaze 4G] icanhazxda:
Will give a try guys, thanks :)

UPDATE: It worked! They're sending another cable :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Just curious, is the OEM charging cable an accessory? (Rhetorical)

If so, I'm moving this to the Accessories thread. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Yamifanatic:
i was wondering the same

i want the same cable as oem just longer.

does anyone know where to find one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Is it possible the EL13 modem just sucks more battery than EK02 and EG30?

I used to go through only 10% battery over 8 hours at work with stock EG30 (rooted) and EG30 modem.

Since I moved to EL13, I go through 20 - 25% over the same period, with far fewer apps installed, otherwise the same location and usage pattern, and using various ROM's that claim they have kernels optimized for battery life.

Can the baseband really be responsible for such a vampire effect on the battery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _eroz:
I was testing GingerSnap ROM. I was originally having trouble with Titanium Backup not seeing my root and ROM Manager not booting into Recovery. I fixedthat by wiping cache, wiping davlik and fixing permissions.

Then I noticed that gmail was not installed. So i downloaded from the market and installed it. Everytime I tried to open it, it would force close. I cleared data in Applications but it did not work. So i unistalled it and rebooted into recovery. I then did a factory wipe and restarted the phone. It stayed stuck between the Samsung Animation and the Android taking off.

I pulled the battery and went into Recovery. I did another factory wipe and installed GingerSnap again, installed gapps and the ICS theme, wiped cache, wipe davlik and fix permissions. When I rebooted, it continues to be stuck in a Boot Loop.

What is my next step? What did I do wrong?

Thanks for looking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danielblakes:
I would recommend flashing a different ROM and seeing if that.boots properly. if so, make a nandroid backup (in CWM) and reflash GingerSnap.

are there any developers out there creating roms for this? It would nice to have a kernel at least, i know there is one out but its only for the european version. We need developers!!

I got the time for it but not the brain for it ;) im best at testing roms :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
Doesn't seem that anyone's developing ROMs at the moment, although some are trying. I think first we need to get a recovery working such as Clockworkmod so we can flash the ROMs to the device.

I just got my player a few days ago, but I've been doing some research on how to port CWM to new devices and hopefully something will come to fruition. I'm not a programmer by any means, but I know linux pretty well so hopefully I'll be able to put something together.

I downloaded Lion ages ago and made a boot disk for it. Then I booted from the disk, wiped the HDD and installed Lion.

I've come to do a clean install today as things got a little messy. The install is on "Downloading additional components" however the time remaining just goes up and up.

Looking in the installer log, it shows no errors, however I've noticed it seems to be looking for an Internet connection. Wouldn't be a problem but when I try to turn wifi on it's a no go. It just doesn't do anything

The last line was from 10 minutes ago saying it was trying to load the Turkish language pack.

Anyone got any ideas?

Really not sure what's going on here.

Placebo effects are interesting.

I bought the extended battery, and placed the old one on my desk. After charging it up I noticed a decent gain in battery life. The next day, bored I picked up the old battery laying on my desk and noticed it was 2100mah according to the sticker. Confused I was like "woooah my phone must had come with an extended battery" then I decided to check what my phone had in it....1850mah *head slap* somehowI mixed them up when I installed it.../sigh

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] panathinaikos13:
The unit does not charge. In the beginning before the issue with it dying after the first two seconds began it wouldn’t charge unless it was turned off. There are cases opened about both of these issues on the android website and the only problem is I can’t try any of these solutions because the phone won’t even boot up. Not even into fastboot mode. I tried charging all night and it still will not go past the colorful boot screen sequence and sometimes I can’t even get it to turn on to say Google. And when it does turn on, it only stays on for 2 seconds and then it just dies. That’s the reason why it won’t let me flash the factory images. I tried the USB charging unit that came with the phone on my international Samsung galaxy s2 and it charged just fine.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] threepio:
after about 8 hours i burned thru 60% of my battery. meaning I had 40% left over. I would say this is with moderate to heavy use. downloading/updating apps, surfing the web, going on facebook, texting, emails. etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Today i had almost 8.5 hrs off battery and just under 3 hrs display time with 39% which is about par for me. I don't have any sync on but i check my mail constantly, check xda, read news and surf the web and occasionally light gaming but not today. At lunch i'm on it about 40 mins on average. And i have spotty signal throughout the day, especially during lunch. It really boils down to realistic expectations and actual usage. A lot of peeps that compare to me wonder why their battery is so terrible but i don't have anything serious going on when i'm not actually using the phone. I don't do social networking. I don't have my phone constantly polling for data on top of the constant polling for signal on top of the constantly checking my battery stats wondering why I'm not getting 6 hours display time. I think some of the battery rage is wasted on that alone. Motorola Droid phones have historically done well on battery because Motorola's usually have great radios on top of the usually great reception Verizon brings. Also, we demand much of our phones, a lot more than last year and the year before. Faster data speeds demand more juice also. Verizon 3g is slow in comparison to T-Mobile/atnt hspa but better efficiency, better architecture and smaller chip sets have helped cancel out a lot of that on hspa radios Lte is still early generation tech and those speeds are ludicrous for a mobile device yet some Verizon folks wonder why they cant pull down 4 hours display time much less 3 when hspa is far more efficient and adequate for the time being. If Verizon wasn't so crooked i more than likely would be an lte nexus owner. I think more people really need to consider what light, moderate and heavy usage really is. Today was realistically heavy moderate use for me. A heavy day for me is tanking the battery in less than 10 hours with 4 hours display. Some of you are light users but your phone is working while you are actually working and you only get 2 hours display time because you had to have your phone tell you bobby cussed out his boss today because of no Xmas bonus, sally cheated on bobby, and bobby is getting sloshed tonight all waiting for you as soon as you pick up your phone and while you're catching up with the on demand soap opera your phone is downloading all your emails in the background. And while it is doing all this your phone is heating up and making electrons have more resistance in the circuitry. The cooler your phone is the less demanding it is on the amperage. Anyways, hopefully this weekend i will get to see if the screen can 5-6 hours display on wifi on one charge. With hspa on.

Crazy world, ay?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acocalypso:
I tried to figure out how to get apt-get function working but didnt found anything.

is it possible to implement the function? does android give us the freedom to install packages we want?

i couldnt find any special information about it, maybe some of you devs/users may help me out.

maybe we can implement it in the kernel.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Mate, apt is a package manager in Debian. This is Android... They're completely unrelated, and of course they're binary incompatible. Android has a forked kernel to begin with.

And why is this in the development section, pray tell?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yifanlu:
The amount of misinformation here baffles me.

1) It's apt, apt-get is a command that is part of apt

2) apt is not a function, it's an application

3) apt is part of Debian, a different flavor of Linux than Android

4) Android already gives you the freedom of installing whatever package you want. Enable it in the Settings menu. If you root your phone, you can install even more things.

5) Developers aren't search engines.

6) Again, anything is possible, but the idea of implementing a userland application in the kernel is like putting a kitchen in the bathroom.

So to answer your question: no. apt is not on Android and AFAIK, nobody has ported it over.

[Droid X General] shobon:
I for one like MotoBlur, it looks and feels great and is appealing and easy to use. I love the enhancements included in BlurHome2, and I'd love to see it on the Droid X.

Now, my Android "developing" hasn't gone farther than theming, so I don't even know where to start if I wanted to port this over.

My question is, is this even possible? If so, how would I go about doing so?
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
As far as I've heard (I'm no developer) this isn't feasible because of the elements of the blur framework that need to be in place...that also can't be ported without causing the phone not to boot.

This MAY have potential in 2nd-init, however?

I've no idea.
[Droid X General] shobon:
Well I've heard the same thing. I figured it'd be easier to do this on a Droid X (rather that a non-moto phone) due to Blur already being present. BlurHome2 depends on updated frameworks found in newer Droids, so when/if I get this started, I'll have to start porting the newer frameworks to the DX (which may not even be possible).

Only one way to try :)
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
It is possible (although 2nd init would have to be used), but would be very difficult as the code for Blur isn't open source.
[Droid X General] trevorjanssen12:
You have to go to the droid x 605 update deodexed and apply the droid 3 theme then you put the lib files for BlurHome2.apk to /system/lib after that you change the permissions of them, then you put the BlurHome2.apk to /system/app/BlurHome2.apk and change the permissions to rw-r-r- and if you want you can put the new blurcamera into the system

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] 1776:
As i understand it, the Korean version of the SGP has a built in HDMI port. The other versions - International and US - do not. I don't know about the internal software on the US or Intl. versions supporting such an adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lardman:
I was wondering whether the MHL cables contain a chipset or if the HDMI encoding is done on the device (for things like the Galaxy S II), and therefore whether there's any possibility of HDMI output being available on the non-Korean devices via one of these MHL cables.

In any case I'll do some investigation when mine arrives, but if anyone knows what hw the Galaxy S II uses to support MHL (if any) then please do post.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jimcpl:
Hi,

Probably not helpful, but I was in Korea recently, and we checked out the YP-G70 in a shop in Seoul, and that did have a mini-HDMI port on it. I didn't get it then, because they were asking $400-$500 for it (USD) and I had known that the US model was coming out soon, and had heard it was going to be in the $200+ range.

Also, I think some people bought from Exportprive, and supposedly those had the HDMI port plus the (Korean) TV receiver.

Just FYI...

Jim
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] darksky72:
I've been looking into MHL as well, and so far no one has responded to my queries as to whether it's a hardware or software feature in the device. If it's purely software, then there's hope for it existing on the device in the future. It seems that all the new ICS devices support it, but I don't know whether it's built in to ICS or not.

So there may be possible hope for future modding/porting of MHL.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
I'm almost certain there is additional hardware to support MHL on devices that have it.

The G70 might have analog TV output like the Captivate did though.
