[HTC Sensation] Z's Windows Phone:
Thanks for your response I have never used it. How do I use it and I thought that everything got erased when doing a full wipe? Also how does this solve the other problem of me accessing the apps that are not showing as I said in the example I gave the roms are only showing 4 of 20+ apps, besides the 10+ I paid for there are some that are free that aren't showing either.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I think it mainly has to do with what rom you use and the build.prop that the market reads on the phone/rom. Being you are in the US, you need a US based build.prop to read your apps. If you are using a euro based rom, then of course not all US based apps will be compatible... technically.

I never had issues with my apps. But I do use titanium backup to restore my apps.
[HTC Sensation] Z's Windows Phone:
Thanks for your feed back. Is there a way around this?
[HTC Sensation] Z's Windows Phone:
Hay kpjimmy thanks a lot for your direction about the Titanium Backup it is a Huge Help have you ever experienced it freezing on your restores? I've hand to reboot my phone 4 times and still have 25% to go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Faith_G:
I'm using Hyper droid with Dorimanx kernel. The kernel says it supports wifi calling, but how do I make it work? I found an app, but it just hangs at "enabling". T mobile coverage at my house is iffy, so it would be nice to have the wifi calls working. Thanks for any help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Faith_G:
I think I got it figured out, just need a new SIM card now.

I followed the directions for "other ROMs" on tytung's wifi calling thread EXCEPT I didn't flash the kernel first because dorimanx's kernel has wifi calling support built in. Now I have the working, it just doesn't like my SIM card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Faith_G:
OK, got a new SIM card, still not working. Does anybody have this working on an HD2? Can anybody help me out here?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Faith_G:
OK, used the universal zip from tytung's thread and got it to make one phone call. Tried to make another and the dialer app froze the phone and I had to pull the battery. Rebooted, tried a text which went through, but the dialer app froze and I had to fc it. Anything I am missing here?

OK so I've noticed quite a bit of lag on the device so I'm trying to clock it up a bit. I'm a ready rooted and on the krakd 1.4.2 rom... I'm trying to use the no-frills CPU manager and I want to know how to use it without screwing up the tablet
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChaoticWeaponry:
Umm.. You're running at 216mhz.. the normal is 1000mhz.. Haha you cant really mess up your transformer, if you undervolt or overclock too much, the device will just reset itself (if you didn't set it to apply at boot) Im running at 1680mhz as I type this..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanacevedo:
Yea I noticed the 200mhz thing when I first started the app

OK thanks for the answer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
Er, it IS possible to burn out the device, don't spread bad advice. Most of the kernels will give you a safer range (less than 1000 for the super safe, less than 16xx for the OC kernel).
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Whats the best battery for longer usage WITHOUT having to replace the door (have a 40$ case that would go to waste)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
None lol. You'd have to get an extended if you really want extra life that bad. I contacted Motorola few weeks back and complained about battery life (even though its not bad at all) and they offered to send me one for free. Best solution is to have 2 batteries!

If you really want to save yourself some battery ditch all those juice defender type apps and just uncheck these when you're not on your phone. I can get my phone to last at least 28 hours on a single charge by turning these on only when I need them. But battery life isn't a problem for me because I have 2 OEM batteries :-p
[Motorola Photon 4G] heldunder:
honestly it's got great battery life, but if you go to a service and repair center and ask them to test your battery, they could at the vary least get you a replacement battery. ( if it's bad)

also turn off your GPS, for what ever reason the GPS hogs a TON of batt. on this phone. more than any other phone i've ever owned actually...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
First, what Kenny said. I have 2 batteries but only really carry both when I'm going out or know I will be taking pictures or video (trust me, both will drain your phone real quick)

My GPS is NEVER on unless its in CarDock and im traveling in unfamilar area! No use for it at home. WiFi either. I have 2 computers at work and 3 at home.

Lastly, ante up the $$$ and get your battery from Motorola. Not all batteries are alike. (then again, I had 5 battereis with Evo I got for like $3.00 each. Some of them had some good run time?)
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
See I use my phone a lot like almost constantly, but ive set everything off that I can including getting a widget that can set the brightness all the way down correctly

Even with the screen set to 0% I only get about 4-5 hours.. That normal? Ill try setting background data off
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
You have issues sorry to say. I can unplug my phone when I shut off alarm at 6:00AM, listen to Pandora over BT Headphones all day at work, check my email several times and send 15+ text at work (sometimes more) and still make it home at 5:30PM (barely, like 10 or 12%, but I make it.)
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
D: here battery usage pics

Im at 38% and just under 3 hours

I wish this battery was a good one si I could call motorola an a have 2 good batteries
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Any phone you pick up that has constant data running in background with a large screen will drain if you never put it down. Ask the galaxy nexus people lol? Only simple solution is to stop using it as much. Also cdma phones are known to have worse battery than GSM especially sprint; the worse your signal is the worse the battery life is. Unfortunately, sprints signal is terrible every where so we all suffer. If I use my phone for 3-4 hours straight I would have the same results. Just get a backup OEM battery man. I assure you for us HEAVY users thats about normal man. If your display is over 60% you need to put your phone down and take a break buddy. 70% and you're complaining about battery life? I just noticed that lmfao

PS that battery app doesn't do anything man get rid of it :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
I actually got rid of that app right after I posted this hahaha and the background data switch gave me significantly better battery life!! Now im at over 3 hours and at 48%! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
I had seen a 2200mah battery on amazon but it was a cheap one that wouldnt even go past 1500mah I was hoping someone knew of a 1750mah - 2200mah battery seeing as there is one already, just too cheaply made for me(was only like 8$ and horrible reviews)

Edit- any thoughts on this deal or similar ones?

[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
The only batteries I recommend is the stock 1750 OEM. I've owned a ton of android phones and I'm not a fan of aftermarket cheap batteries. Here's what you do: Go to moto website, register your device, find te troubleshooting link, chat with a live rep, tell them your battery keeps getting extremely hot, make sure you tell them you've done hard resets from settings and through recovery, let them talk a bit, tell them sprints being if no help and wants to charge you for new battery, and get a free one sent to your house.

I did exactly what I just told you and it worked. Don't waste money buying those after market batteries..

Next I have to chat with them again for a free battery replacement door because mine makes little noises now from taking the back off so much. Plus its super thin and not a high grade of plastic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Isnt the stock battery 1600mah? Atleast thats what my battery said on it..maybe radioshack jipped me xD and ima do that soon as I get home thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Should be 1700 you just use it too much jkjk lol

And no problem, hope you get a free battery!
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Ah on the battery it says both 1650mah and 1700mah xD
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
My battery life ranges between a day and a half if I'm not using it much, to about 4 hours if I watch a few videos on it from NetFlix. I've noticed the battery seems to last longer with a stable 4G connection compared to 3G, and a lot longer than 4G with a constant WiFi connection (I have about 48 apps on the phone, battery life is significantly longer w/no apps installed)
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
I think I'll find an extended battery for good reviews then also try to get a free oem battery and rest both.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:
I'm currently trying to modify the way the Vivid displays its network status indicators (the E, 4G, 4GLTE, etc.), and was hoping for a little help from somebody more experienced in the details than I. I'm aware of the methods to simply replace images by swapping PNG's in framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk, but what I'm trying to do here is actually change the way it's displayed, so it'll show 3G/U or H like most other Android phones will. From the research I've done, I know this would involve some decompiling, which I've never done before. So my question is:

There seem to be two files that deal with the way Android displays network and signal status: SystemUI.apk and services.jar. (There's also services.odex, though I'm not sure how this fits in.) I've seen methods that decompile both, and I was wondering if anybody had any experience here to clarify which one I should focus on. (And additionally, isn't a .odex simply a variation on a .dex classes file, which would be contained inside a .jar anyway? So how does that fit in?)

You may ask why I want to do this! I'll tell you:

I've always found it midly annoying that to the Vivid a network is one of three things: EDGE, 4G, or LTE. What happened to GPRS, UMTS, or HSPA?

I know android reports at least the difference between UMTS & HSPA, thought I'm not sure about HSPA+, so it should be possible since most other phones do show it.

Now that I have a permanent root, I'd like to customize my phone to my liking

Several others have expressed an interest in making the network status icon actually work properly

I want to learn more about the nitty gritty details of how Android works, with the goal of getting more into ROM developement.

I can't find anybody else who's done it

Why not?

Thanks! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PS - I know this is dev related, but I didn't make anything, and we don't have a Q&A, so I put it in general
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
if you deodex your /system then you dont have to worry about the .odex file at all.

i think it boils down to systemui.apk and the smali contained within.

if you dont know how to decompile, i suggest you learn how. start with some basic stuff, because editing smali is a pain in the ass.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701

http://apkmultitool.com/

learn how to use those tools. you will need them and you will also need to set up a few other things.

if you are on Windows, you need the JAVA JDK, and ADB SDK installed

it would help if you have Notepad++, as it is much better than any other notepad application on windows (IMO)

learn some smali/baksmali <this is the part i actually struggle with, i am still learning

ALSO, 7zip is the best archive tool on windows, bar none...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bjg222:

[General Questions and Answers] djdant:
So I'm looking at my sdcard that's supposed to be 16gigs but it's actually 13.2gigs!

Why is this always like this? Like I bought a TB hard drive but it's actually like 988 gigs, we're paying for this space but we don't ever fully get advertised space.

Is it something technical?
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
The difference in capacities is due to two different methods for defining what exactly the prefixes mega, giga, tera mean. In the computer world, these prefixes have different meanings depending on what exactly you are talking about. Hard drive manufacturers report the size of hard drives using the decimal definition of these terms (10^6, 10^9, 10^12 resepctively), whereas operating systems and other software use the binary definition of these terms (2^20, 2^30, 2^40).

As you can calculate, these values are close, but not exactly the same. 10^6 is 1,000,000, but 2^20 is 1,048,576. Once we get to larger hard drive sizes, the difference really becomes noticeable.

One gigabyte in binary is 1,073,741,824 bytes (2^30), but in decimal it’s only 1,000,000,000 bytes (10^9), which is a difference of 73,741,824 bytes (~70MB). So, when we're talking about storage size in gigabytes a hard drive's capacity as reported by the OS will be about 7% less than what is advertised by the hard drive manufacturer.

40GB = 37GiB

80GB = 74GiB

100GB = 93GiB

120GB = 111GiB

160GB = 148GiB

200GB = 186GiB

250GB = 232GiB

300GB = 279GiB

320GB = 297GiB

400GB = 372GiB

500GB = 465GiB

750GB = 697GiB

1000GB = 930GiB

Thinking of either keeping the MT4GS I picked up or getting a Sensation, I like MIUI as a rom but noticed there aren't many roms here. I know the bootloader is getting unlocked but curious if anyone knows of one being developed or in the works? Seems a little light on the rom development side but most phones start out that way. I remember when I had a G2 and there weren't many there either.

Ok so I installed the latest android leak from sammobile (XWJVZ)

The problem I'm having is that a few apps arent showing up in android market anymore. I can see them when I use the android website but when trying to install remotely it says incompatible.

Didnt have that problem before. Tried market enabler but nothing changed.

Starting to think its an android 2.3.6 problem.

Anyone maybe have a solution or same problem?

Thanks

I have noticed the same as well since flashing to XWJVZ. There is 1 particular paid app that I cannot install.

If I search the Market for it, it doesn't turn up any results. If I use market.android.com and search for the app it states "This item is not compatible with your device".

I contacted the app's author and they have never heard of such a thing with their application before.

I'm going to flash back to XWJVU (the app worked then) and see if I can install it via the market again.

Despite the fact that the link says: Download Stock TAR for SGH-I727, what you will actually download is in 7z format. Once you open that you will find a .tar file. Once you open that, you will find the boot, recovery and system .img files. People love to complicate things.

honestly, you have some reading to do, but from the initial sounds of it, you either:

A. restored apps you shouldnt have with Titanium Backup after flashing your new rom (only use RESTORE MISSING APPS WITH DATA, NEVER EVER USE RESTORE ALL APPS OR RESTORE SYSTEM ANYTHING)

or you:

B. didnt wipe data/factory reset in CWM before flashing the new rom

best option right now would be to boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset, then boot back into your rom and see if you get FCs....
