[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
Short answer: there's no way

Long answer: the only other way would be to use flash_image and flash a pre-rooted rom on top of itself, which requires root.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matibike:
Yes Strephon,you understand what I mean :) I upgraded to 407 stock rom.I can not connect via USB because my PDMI port is broken(sb broke pins).

So as I assume-I am stuck for now...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Hey, well yesterday I got a notification saying "supercharge UR battery". I was pretty sceptical but I clicked on it not realising it would go to a website and apparently that website then downloads and installs something automatically that allows them to clone your contact etc, even your IMEI and they can put your number to go through premium calls to get money out of you.

Either way I need to know how to get rid of this. It's just come up again so I'm presuming it didn't install properly for them or something. It came just after I updated all my apps yesterday but I don't know which one would have caused it.

Do we think a full wipe and reinstall might do it?

:EDIT:

shocker that AVG antivirus didn't find anything. I've been looking through my apps, deleted some I don't use but none of them stand out as being dodgy, I don't even have many.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tamen:
What makes you think it's cloning your device?

Are you sure it's not just a push notification advert, from something like airpush?

Remove all recent apps that you've installed since you started getting them, and when they stop install them one by one, seeing if they cause the notifications. Check all permissions very carefully.

If you are seriously worried, full wipe and start again but there shouldn't be a need for that.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
That sounds slightly unlikely; not that there's malware out there that can do that sort of thing (there is), but that you can acquire it simply by visiting a site and somehow bypassing all the usual application access authorisations. All the instances I've heard of require an app to be installed (and access granted) which then runs off and does all this in the background. So if you could post your source for that it would be a great help.

(As to the "supercharge your battery" ad, I've definitely seen that somewhere recently as well, but I can't think where. In an app, but I'm struggling to think what it could have been. I just ignored it as per any other ad that sneaks past the hosts file).

If you're really worried then a full wipe would get rid of anything actually on your phone, but I'm not yet convinced that's necessary.

Edit: just noticed you said "notification" not "ad". Try downloading something like Airpush Detector from the market; sounds like you've got an app using Airpush to show ads in your notification area. Again, that's not necessarily something to be particularly concerned about (irritating though it is).

Edit2: curses, beaten to it while I was writing all this on my phone. Must learn to be more concise.

//sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk; all errors entirely intentional.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Well I've been going through my apps and there isn't a single one in there that you would ever consider to be dodgy as I just stick to the main ones. I don't bother downloading games or anything like that.

Surely if it's just an ad I'd be able to find said app on the market place, but I can't. In fact google finds nothing for "supercharge UR battery".

I'll try airpush detector. Cheers.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8igdave:
Ok so airpush detector says:

Mysettings

jqsoft.apps.mysettings

Checked out the app on the market and turns out the update added airpush to it. Way to kill your market. I guess they want people to go "pro".

Cheers guys!

[Kindle Fire General] demwz:
especially when connected to Power cable i would prefer when screen would be rotated by 180°.

Yes i know there is auto rotation but this does not concern the lock screen an also some apps are ignoring this feature. Also the home screen is set to 0° after unlocking.

I'seen in different threads, that it is possible in CM7 to flip the screen my default but it is allways mentioned to consult the rom developer and never sayed ho to do this.

can anyone help ?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
are you talking about cm7 or stock rom ?

in stock you can lock the screen by tapping the status bar and select unlocked

this will not affect the lock screen but my launcher (go launcher)
[Kindle Fire General] demwz:
i'm about cm7.

maybe ther might be settings for one or the other launcher but i want to flip the screen globally so that it affects every app including the lock screen.

edit: i assume this must be done by configuring the graphics driver
[Kindle Fire General] CptanPanic:
I agree. It would be nice to keep power button on top.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
i think to remember that there is a setting for this in /system/build.prop

found:

ro.sf.hwrotation=270

where you change the 270 into either 180, 90, or 0....

!!! but use at your own risk !!!
[Kindle Fire General] demwz:
yes thats it man.

but now i habe to find a way to rotate the touchscreen as well :D
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
you will have to rotate the touchscreen and the accelerometer as well

i think that will not be so easy because it's compiled or linked in the souce code

sorry ...

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_K_:
Hi,

I ordered an Atrix 4g yesterday on amazon.de and since flashing a custom rom on my previous phone was such and improvement I wanted to do the same with the atrix. But after reading some threads in the dev section I must admit i'm very confused and I have some questions.

- How do I know if my phone is unlocked? if not how to unlock?

- I think it ships with 2.2, update to 2.3.4 or just flash custom rom?

- Can anyone tell me all the steps I need to do to go from stock 2.2 to a custom rom? (CM7 Mod ICS FINAL or Neutrino ROM 1.4-S) (including unlocking, recovery etc) this part is very confusing because a lot of roms have different types of flashing and some are talking about fastboot, does my phone have this?

- How do I know what version of the phone I have? ATT? Tmobile?

- Is there any chance of bricking when doing this? With my previous phone you could ony soft brick.

I'm sorry if these things are already written somewhere but I just couldn't find em.

Thnx for all info you can tell me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marko!:
Check the noob guide in the gerenal section, its at the top of the forum,

To figure out your software version just go to settings >about phone

As for bricking you can only hard brick if you use the ota gingerbread update THEN use rsd to downgrade. So if you only use rsd to unlock then you are safe
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_K_:
So I got my atrix a few days ago and have been looking to unlock/flash it since.

I read most posts/guides and I think I know what to do, but I'm still scared of bricking so I wanted to dubble check if I got it right :)

My atrix:

System: 45.31.0.MB860.Retail.en.DE

Android: 2.3.4

Build number: 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31

What I think I have to do:

1st: Flash SBF file (the IHOP file from the house of pudding) with RSDlite

2nd: Fastboot unlock

3th: Install clockworkmod with Fastboot like in:

ww w.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-motorola-atrix-4g/

(remove the space between the WWW, not enough posts to post a link)

4th: Do a backup with clockworkmod

5th: Flash a custom ROM with clockworkmod and clear cache,dalvik cache and data.

Could someone plz comfirm that all this is correct?

Greetings!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phnord:
That sounds about right :)

Be sure to follow any specific installation instructions for the Custom ROM you choose. Some prefer you wipe via fastboot, some want you to wipe certain partitions *after* installation, etc.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M_K_:

i went to relock unroot the GN and for some reason i can only boot into fastboot mode and cwm recovery. cwm recovery says there is no files so cant do a restore. i assumed i installed the sdk files correctly bc the cmd says list of devices attached when i type adb devices. also in device manger it says adb working prperly. but when i type adb reboot bootloader in the sdk platform tools it says device not found. if this is possible to fix any ideas how? and sorry to bother you just dont know what to do
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YankInDaSouth:
If it's saying "device not found" it sounds like a driver issue. This is a real PITA with this phone! I wish I had better advice other then to search for and keep trying different drivers.

Then I went through again installing the same exact drivers that I did before and all of the sudden one decided to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pizzaguy24:
do you think its bc of i cant enable usb debbuging
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
If you can boot into fastboot mode and CWM you will be fine.

In CWM you could try mounting USB storage, copying over a ROM of your choosing and flash away. Not sure if this feature still works in CWM with MTP. If that doesn't work you can use fastboot to flash an official image.

If you successfully re-locked the phone then you wouldn't still have CWM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vtr1000xe:
with fast boot still working ur fine. Find and use toolkit 2.0. If it lists ur serial number tour drivers are OK. If you start with reboot bootloader cmd it will give that error. Go straight to flashing rom. Also you cant use USB mount in CWR anymore :/

There is a setting that you can turn your radios of from x time to x time overnight. I have mine set for 11-6. If I am on after 11, then I take priority. If not then the setting does.

There is also a setting that will open data/radio every 15m/30m/45m/1h/2h or something like that to get updates for somethings (i.e. Beautiful Widgets). I have mine set at 2h. If I want my data/radio open I will do it myself, hence my long interval.

i wish i could get my phone to last a whole day without charging, i just dont complain because i know for a FACT that the reason my phone only lasts 10-12 hours is because of ME. im too stubborn and refuse to switch to battery-friendly usage. the biggest thing that impacts battery is the user/user apps. not rom, not kernel, the battery difference from rom-to-rom and kernl-to-kernel is barely noticeable (unless in the rare case where there is a bug, or developmental defect). if there was ACTUALLY a rom in exsistence that TRULY had superior battery life, then you wouldnt get 5-10 different answers in every single "what is best rom/kernel for battery" thread.

the problem is, people want to believe that they can save battery without changing their usage habits. this simply is not possible. no rom or kernel will realistically do this for you. if you remove 1 brick from a bag full of 15 bricks, the bag will be lighter, but still very heavy. you need to download "spare parts" or "process monitor" from the market and start analyzing the way your apps are acting. also look into data syncs that are happening in the background. apps that stay open behind your back/what they are doing, (an app called "autostarts" can prevent apps from self-running under certain scenarios). animation speed. polling for notifications. gps. wifi scans. overclocking. cpu/ram usage. proper sleep. widgets. brightness. 2g/3g. data usage. call time. text volume. - THESE are the things that

really

affect your battery life.

bottom line is, if you truly want to save battery you are going to have to get your hands dirty...there simply isnt a one-click (or one-flash) solution.

[Vibrant General] Raistline:
If it sucks so bad, grab one of these. I have it and it has given me at least a 20% increase in battery life. BTW, you must listen to the instruction for the Battery if you get it. 4 or 5 full Drains to 0% and then charge to 100% while device is powered off and re-calibrate after each of these full charge cycles.
