[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElephantAttack:
I don't know if this is something I'm just supposed to deal with, or if I'm just going at this wrong, but if I'm on a webpage and I want to get to a completely seperate one I will just slide open the keyboard and start typing. Ever since the stock OTA to 2.3.5 I have noticed that if I'm on a webpage (I usually use Dolphin, but I see the same behavior on the stock browser) and I start typing, the first letter shows that it's typed, then the next one I type overwrites the first.

It's only a small thing, but I never noticed it before. I am new to this whole scene and am running cleangb with touchwiz and the sms fix, and I still see it there. Is this common? Does no one else navigate around like me?

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paullueders223:
I'm kinda confused by this post, at first it sounds like you're on the stock gingerbread rom of Epic and then you mention you're on CleanGB. Just want to check that first. Second, does this happen on any other app you type on? I do remember having a similar problem one time and I found it was a flash that went wrong, screwed up the character display to only be 1 character wide. Either try wiping and starting from scratch or let me know some more info so I can help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopoto:
My Galaxy S2 started behaving strangely all of a sudden:

After a few minutes in standby, it wakes up by itself.

If I press the power button when this happens, it freezes completely. The only thing it will do after that is power off, if I do another long press on the power button.

But if I swipe out the lock screen instead and play around in it, it will respond normally, until I press the power button again, in which case - as you might guess - it will freeze completely.

I have the stock firmware from Orange Romania on it, and it still behaves exactly the same after a hard reset.

The problem occurs with different SIM cards inserted in it, as well as with no SIM inserted.

Any ideas on how to fix this, or on how to identify the culprit here?

A possible solution is to flash an insecure kernel (e.g. cfroot) via odin and flash a custom rom. but this will void your warranty.

Or you could flash a stock rom thru odin

Backup data and factory reset would be my first step .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopoto:
The problem was still there after doing a factory reset, with no apps installed. But I've flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1 since then, and it seems like everything is fine now.

I would still be interested to find out if there's a way to identify the cause of this problem, or if there's a workaround for it, though.

[Kindle Fire General] mervbg:
Hi,

I have a week old Kindle Fire and there is something bothering me.

When charging, the light turns green at around 94%. It continues charging to 100%, but its kind of odd.

Software is 6.2.1 rooted, but it did it when it was clean 6.2.1.

The problem is not with the charger, because it does it with all of my chargers.

Is it just mine? Any ideas why it is happening? Should I be concerned?
[Kindle Fire General] FroyoShark:
It does that sometimes to me and I'm running CM7. I don't think you should worry about it.
[Kindle Fire General] Rossiterfox:
I'm not so sure it's a bug with the Kindle. It's been in most flavors of Android I've seen and my phone does it too.

I think it turns green around 90% or so because it thinks that's sufficient charge to take it off and use it normally without having to worry about running out real quick.
[Kindle Fire General] FroyoShark:
You're right. I just remembered it does that on my phone too!
[Kindle Fire General] worldwidepmp:
It definitely does it on my Epic with CM7, but it was doing it on my stock Kindle before I installed CM7 on it.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] montif:
I bought a Kindle Fire off Craigslist and got home and realized I had been had and was sold a demonstration model. I'm hoping by rooting the Kindle I can possibly reverse this. I followed all the instructions in death2all110's thread but the first step I can not perform because when I try to go into settings I get a message saying "demonstration device this feature is not available" This is the step that allows you to sideload. Is there another way that I can sideload? Even if I am able to sideload, do you think this will fix my problem? Please help.

Could you break it down for me and explain. I've never rooted before and I can't get into the settings to allow foreign installs.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] androidcues:
if i had a dime for every time ive walked someone through this...

first of all, share the craigslist URL I will try to get your money back and get you a stock kindle fire and life will be just dandy. how about it? URL?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] turtlebits:
This, don't keep stolen property. Contact the seller and get your money back or call the police. It should be easy to track down which store it was stolen from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solidspidey:
Hi guys,

I was just wondering wirh all the people with android battery issues and flashing new roms is it possible to simply copy over a properly configured battstats.bin file?

Lets say you flash a new rom and you just copy over your old battstats.bin instead of having to delete it and proceed and calibrate it again? It would make sense to me.
[HTC Desire S] polidoros:
Hello, i have a htc desire s phone 3 months and i tried installing the 2.3.5 update from the settings menu in the phone. After the installing the phone stuck on HTC Boot screen. I left it about 10 minutes or more like that, poped up the pin security screen and stuck. Then i pulled out the battery tried to reopen and again stuck, this time only on HTC boot screen. So i tried to perform factory reset via the boot menu. After the reset the phone is dead doesn't power up neither boots into the boot menu. :(:( Any solution?
[HTC Desire S] Kearns:
I had a similar problem trying to update my Desire S. I got a red exclamation mark during the update and it sat on that for ages. So I pulled the battery and now I can even power on the device at all. Its just dead.
[HTC Desire S] polidoros:
I still have insurance i hope it covers it since it's destroyed from the default update. I just posted here if someone can help me solve this without sending it back.
[HTC Desire S] terragady:
If you did nothing with phone (S-OFF etc) you should to send it back, otherwise you can lose you warranty.

Other solutions? XTC Clip? HXC Dongle?

What happen when you plug it to charger or usb? You should then check if vol down + power works (sometimes if its under charging you should hold vol down and push few times power).
[HTC Desire S] polidoros:
No i didn't modified or used any things other than official on the phone. Also when i plug it on charger, it doesn't do anything and on pc, the computer plays the double ding sound of failed device. Anyway i guess you are right since i have it virgin without modification i can use my warranty. :) Thanks everyone for your replies
[HTC Desire S] matthewsucks:
Hi dude I also experienced this a week ago. I solved this by plugging in my phone to the PC via USB, wait for a few minutes then booted into bootloader. Then, I entered clockwork mod recovery and wiped data and cache, finally, I restored my data from my backup, now it is running smoothly. Hope this helps.
[HTC Desire S] polidoros:
So i just leave it on PC without pressing a thing? and it will automaticly pop up the bootloader? beacuse my pc doesn't open anything just hearing that error device sound (double ding)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I wouldn't even bother. These "get-outs" are great if you have previously rooted / S-Offed your phone, but if it is 'Virgin' - unmodified - then you are far better off following the official path for repair. I would, as it's only been 3 months, actually start by going back to the shop you bought it from and asking them to replace it - saves you from waiting 2 weeks for HTC to sort it for you.
[HTC Desire S] polidoros:
I see.. ok thanks :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netorino:
Anyone knows if there is an updated version to Camera Mod so we can still use L/R and have continous auto-focus in video? Plus avoiding to have 2 camera app shortcuts.

Oh and Change Shoulder Buttons app is out of the question since I'm not rooted and won't be rooting for a few months.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedyink:
I think you answered your own question.. You'll be waiting a couple months.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ps3taker:
Try contacting the original developer - i'm still on 2.3.3 but if the developer posts his mode changes or allows his to be decompiled we could try the same mod in the new version. I don't think without root single shortcut will be possible but the moded apk should be able to run as separate shortcut still
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netorino:
I'll look for the developer when I'm on my pc later.

By 1 shortcut I didn't mean to keep just one app overall, but on my homescreen. 1 for pictures with L&R and another for HD videos with continuous autofocus.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alzaq:
I want to develop an application for unknown number that are not in the contact list to welcome the caller

saying (Hello This is .....) for example, which is recorded message stored in SD. then the two persons can talk with each other.

This means before answering, a welcome message will be play-back and after that the microphone gain the control during the speaking. we can also use a music background between them.

My questions are

Is it possible to do such an application with Android 2,3?

if yes from where have I to start? I mean which c or jave file need to be changed.

PS. Currently I am using Samsung I9000 as an android device and I have downloaded the android sources to my ubuntu 11.0.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siky_dude:
afaik, call recording doesn`t work on 2.3, only on 2.2

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkshadow1997:
hi i like this game inotia 3 so my question is this,which version will work best in galaxy mini with no crashes/force closes.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] chepoz:
all version should works,

but not in CM7.

sent from Nokia 3310
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Im running CM7 and have seen people use their HDMI outputs on their phones to plug directly into their tv and have it display what the phone sees, but cant figure out how they did it. I don't have a mini hdmi on hand and want to know for sure if it will work before buying one. Will it be a simple just plug and load up a game or emulator and it will instantly display? Or is it more complicated? Any insight would be great becasue i think this would be a great feature.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Dont trust me 100% on this but im pretty sure its should do exactly as you say, its called "mirroring" or something along those lines and i believe that besides mirroring if you wanted to do WebTop or UbunTop (kinda like a netbook) you would then need to do some mods/hacks but mirroring shouldnt take any extra mods or anything

Also just a tip - if you already have an hdmi cord and dont want to spend another 25$ for a micro hdmi to hdmi cord, most radioshacks carry a small micro hdmi to FEMALE hdmi converter for 10$, that way you could save a few bucks nd use your existing hdmi cord! Enless the converter is too bulky for what you will be using it for. I have one, works great!
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Just checked, you CAN do hdmi mirroring directly with no other hassle!
[HTC EVO 3D] -Sumsy-:
Hi guys I'm having evo3d sent from America a friend is given me it would it work in the UK with my UK sim. If not is there anything in can do to make it work like changing the firmware to Europe or can I just root it and use custom roms on it
[HTC EVO 3D] Uchennadi:
No, if it's from sprint. Sprint phones use cdma technology, so no slot to put your sim in... Lol, anyways, you need a gsm evo 3d, which nobody carries in the US.
[Nook Touch General] Burfee:
I just bought a nook simple touch and i want to start playing with it, but, before i do this, i want to make sure i have a backup for it.

My problem is that i am unable to see the hidden partiton (the large one). I use ubuntu linux, but i also tried looking for it on windows, following the instructions from this link.

the df -h output is:

burfee@burfee:~$ sudo df -h

and of course, when i create the image using dd, it looks like this:

burfee@burfee:~$ dd if=/dev/sdb of=my_nook_bk.img bs=1M
239+1 records in
239+1 records out
251641856 bytes (252 MB) copied, 15.2308 s, 16.5 MB/s

on windows, also, Roadkil's free DiskImager also sees just this small partition.

there probably is some protection b&n set on the device, but couldn't find any post related to this issue.

my model number is BNRV300

What options do i have?
[Nook Touch General] carpeVideo:
Use Roadkil - backup the physical disk not the partition - this will of course depend on the number of drives you have - on my laptop it is disk 1 1.86G
[Nook Touch General] Burfee:
as i said, roadkill doesn't see that partition either
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
Are you booting from a sdcard with noogie (is rooted forever written on the screen)?

If you just boot normally you can only access the media partition and the sdcard.

oh, so this is it... no, i didn't boot with noogie. i booted it normaly. seems like i missed that step. will try with noogie. many thanks!

L.E.: i just figured out why i missed that step - the nookdevs.com site is down so the link didn't work. any reliable source to get that image?

[Nook Touch General] mali100:
Looks ok.

Happy hacking :D
[Nook Touch General] Burfee:
ok, so i was a bit skeptical about the image because i encountered some problems while doing it so i started over.

i'm having some problems with dd when i'm writing the images. before writing the noogie image using dd in linux, my microsd looks ok in gparted (with fat32 filesystem)

After doing this:

burfee@burfee:~/Nook/Nook-touch-rootkit$ sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 if=noogie.img
155648+0 records in
155648+0 records out
79691776 bytes (80 MB) copied, 35.8831 s, 2.2 MB/s

it shows unknown for file system and cannot be mounted anymore...

the image i used before (to get the output from the previous posts was created on windows with roadkil, but now that doesn't work either.

microsd is class 4

what could be wrong? if i write other images to the disk everything is ok, but the images to root the nook do not work.
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
afaik the noogie image is in superfloppy format (no partition table, only the filesystem) and thats why gparted doesn't recognizes it.

But the sd-card with the noogie image on it should be mountable on windows and linux (its fat32).

Maybe you could try an other cardreader.
[Nook Touch General] Burfee:
this is very weird... i managed to write the image to the card using "ImageWriter" (aplication for linux) which i think runs the same code i run in the terminal... i don't get what's wrong...

because if i'm doing something wrong i can't be sure that my backup image is ok.

L.E.: my image is ok, just tested it after messing up the rooting process :D
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
I think your problem is, that you should write the noogie image to /dev/mmcblk0 and not to /dev/mmcblk0p1 (on the sd-card, NOT on the nook itself).
[Nook Touch General] pow3rflow3r:
Question how do I write the noogie image to the SD card with windows??

As said already I looked at the backup thread as said by previous poster but the link is not working.

I did get the noogie image from the other link provided but how do I copy/write the image to the SD card in windows.

Thnx in advance

Edit:

I think I found something in an other thread, they use this program (win32diskimager) to write a .img to a SD card. Will try this one out.
[Nook Touch General] pow3rflow3r:
I used this program win32diskimager to write noogie.img to sdcard in the following manner:

- Select noogie.img as "Image File"'

- Select SD card as device

- Click the button "Write"

Then I waited untill it was finished. Put SD card in Nook Touch, started up the Nook, but no screen with "Rooted Forever" showed up and if I continued with the next step, trying to make a copy of the the Nook partition with Roadkils DiskImager then I could not see the 1.82GB partition of the Nook.

Can someone help me on the way.

I started the Nook but did not yet finish registration before I tryed the above. I was in the middle of registration, but decided to make a backup first, so switched off the Nook and did what I described above (my idea was that after the backup of my Nook to skip the registration, as described somewhere else and then root the Nook).

Hope someone could give me some answers.

Edit:

Indeed when I skipped the registration and again booted from the SD card previously made with the noogie.img I got the "rooted forever" screen and I was able to make a backup of my Nook partition. Thnx a lot everyone for making such nice descriptions, OK now try to root it.....
[Nook Touch General] arvindar_n:
CAn you please expand on how you got the nook to boot from the SD card (any special key presses?) I managed to write the noogie image on to an SD card. Inserted the card in the nook. Powered it down and then back up again, but didn't see any option to boot from the card. Not sure If I've missed something here.

Thanks in advance
[Nook Touch General] mali100:
If the img file is written correctly to the SD-Card the nook will boot from the SD-Card. No need to press anything.
[Nook Touch General] lluf:
I cannot get noogie image working too. Have the img "burned" to SD card. Tried 2 different cards 4GB class6 and 8GB class10.

Tried to power on connected or disconnected from PC, Nook just starts up normally and then claims SD is not recognized and should be formatted.

Any ideas?
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
It's quite simple really, the Noogie.img weren't correctly written onto your SD card.

There can be several reasons for this, but most likely it's your card reader.

I.E. the built in card reader on my old HP Pavilion doesn't support raw access in a proper way and I had to buy an external card reader for it to work.
[Nook Touch General] lowjack91:
Hey I'm having a similar challenge as arvindar_n...

I just got a new nook simple touch and am looking to back it up.

Doing a google search lead me to the Backup/Restore N2E post.

The instructions say to:

1. Boot nook with noogie.img : (the "Rooted Forever" screen) and connect to your computer via USB.

2. Use DiskImager to copy your Nook partition to a file, being sure to select "Physical Disk" in the drop down list.

Step 1 seemed to work, I used winimage and wrote nookie.img onto a sd card

I put the sd card in the nook, let it reboot and was greeted with the "Rooted Forever" screen but it just sits there...not sure if that's the first problem.

Step 2, using DiskImager, I'm suppose to select Physical Disk. The challenge I'm having is there are 0-7 Physical Disks! My confusion is that none of the sizes are the 1.82 partition I'm reading about. I can see a 239.98 and 120.08 but no other physical drive besides my regular disk drive.

Please advise!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hearmeman:
Well

ihave the EEE PAD tf101

i want to buy a keyboard

but today my dad offered me to buy the TF201 prime

i really dont know what to do

cause i want a laptop

but the prime is a gaming and video machine

what to do?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xMini:
Take the "Prime TF201" and buy the new keyboard :) !!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mikelt89:
Take the prime for sure...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Dude, if your dad offers to buy you the prime, get the prime + keyboard. x_X, it's not just a gaming device, it's the tf101 upgraded..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hearmeman:
forgot to mention

its 50\50

lol

here the prime costs around 700 dollars

means i pay 350

and the keyboard costs around 230 (cheap eh? haha)

and here i pay everything

edit:i wont be able to get the prime keyboard for a long time

what i think i would do is to buy the keyboard

and in the summer break ill sell the TF101 and buy the prime

what do you think bout that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
This makes no sense, what's the problem? Unless you wanted your dad to buy you a laptop then everything seems fine to me. Just sell the tf101 get the dock for the prone and call it a day. Wish I had someone buying me stuff...you bet I wouldn't be on here complaining about it... Merry Christmas.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] theraffman:
Well maybe all the other info would have been good in the op... Considering this new info, I would ask him to buy you a dock instead of half a prime
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hearmeman:
well he doesnt want to buy me the keyboard

he thinks its a waste

also my family kinda lacking money right now

so we cannot afford this right now

230$ is alot of money here

ihave around 300$

ithink ill go for the keyboard
