[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
How long does the battery need to be conditioned ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tvincent19897:
yeah I'm still trying to figure out how to get better battery life with this extended battery. I'm on the GummyNex ROM with the matr1x kernel running the smartassv2 governor and I lowered all my voltages by 10% across the board. the governor knocks the cpu down to 350mhz when my screen is off so that saves battery, but as far as when i'm actively using the phone it's stable and smooth still, stiil toying with different voltages and governors though to get that kickass battery life other people claim to have :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
So far can't match or come close to my awesome battery life I had on my Epic 4G Touch Galaxy SII. With stock battery got a full day easily with heavy use.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryokea:
I've been trying to unlink my Power Amp music app from my market recently since the latest version has a problem with Hero roms it seems. The older 1.4 version works flawlessly and I keep a backup of it with Titanium.

Titanium can detach the app from the market, but that never sticks for some reason. Power Amp shows back up in my update list again. Any clues on how to stop this?

~Edit~

It appears the reason the market link would magically reappear is some mis-configured settings in Titanium. Fixed those to where it side loads all apps when restoring them from backup and I haven't had any trouble so far.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoedelPCS:
how do I have to configure it that this damn link does not appear again?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrownEye02:
I got my Xperia Play R800x yesterday. Since then I have rooted, unlocked the bootloader, and installed crash team racing. I have been reading through the forms before and after getting my phone. But Im still confused on the whole flashing process. From what I could gather if I want to flash either a kernel or rom I must use fastboot. Which is a program you run on your computer while the phone is in fastboot mode (black screen, blue led). My problems are I have yet to find a DETAILED process on how to do this. I also am wondering if I were to install clockwork recovery if I could just flash roms and kernels through it. I know everyone on the form says they you cant but they all have locked bootloaders. The final thing Im confused about is flashtool. What is it used for? In one form is sounded like someone used it to unbrick there phone but Im still unsure. Any help that can straiten this up for me would be GREATLY appreciated.

Edit: If this helps you help me I have recently come from a droid X and HTC Eris. Both devices I know my way around them.

Oh and thanks for the people who posted in my last thread. THIS PHONE IS SICK!!!!!!!!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
Dont have any answers for you since most of them are in the forum ; but a thing to point out is that since you have a r800x the amount of roms you can flash are limited.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrownEye02:
Could I at least get some links. I have been digging around for a weak and still haven't found anything. Like I said I have an idea about everything I just need some help clearing it all up.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrownEye02:
Ok, I finally found a form that explains flashtool and how to use it. But I still would like to know about the clockwork recovery.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You can flash roms through clockwork mod. But you can not flash kernels, the reason for this is both the kernel and recovery are held on the same partition /boot/, obviously flashing a kernel overwrites /boot/ partition so CWM cannot write to the same partition is it running from.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hogwarts:
You can flash nandroid backups from CWM recovery

Your selection is limited tho because this phone has limited people working on it lol.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrownEye02:
Yeah I know the CDMA rom department hasnt developed yet, but it will. :D

But you two are saying two different things. Can I only flash nand backups with the clockwork recovery or can I flash a rom. Thanks for clearing up the kernel part though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
You can flash standard rom.zip's from recovery too, Not trying to show off but i created one of the first roms flashable from recovery :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1250873
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrownEye02:
Nice!!

Now when you say you were the first to make a rom that was flashable in clockwork recovery. Does this mean that the rom has to be specially made to be flashed with the clockwork recovery or is this just because everyone uses flashtool to flash roms?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
To be flashed from recovery, a rom has to be in a certain format, and contain an update script and binarys that tell recovery when to mount and unmount partitions, what partitions and directories to copy the files to and what permissions need to be given to certain files/folders :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrownEye02:
Alright, thanks for clearing all this up for me!
[HTC EVO 3D] dragn142298:
Ok so I am having trouble finding a answer to my question. I need to know if there is a way to get Android version 3.1 on the HTC Evo 3D?

Does anyone know of anyway to get it. I am rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
well hello there rooted.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

on a serious note... it has not been done... and probably won't ever be done.
[HTC EVO 3D] dragn142298:
Lol. Why do you think that it will not be done? Is everyone just skipping and going straight to 4.0?
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Precisely, that and Honeycomb was designed for tablets....
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
The biggest reason we haven't and won't see Honeycomb on the 3D is because Honeycomb is closed source. I believe it can be done but would take way more work than its worth.

Sent from my ICS lovin 3D!!!

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
[HTC EVO 3D] :
Well actually I think 3.2 source was released with ICS source.

However, developing is always hard and even though it is open source, it will still probably be extremely hard to get on our phones. And since there's no demand, nobody is making a honeycomb ROM.

While Honeycomb would be cool to have on our devices, it would be hard to develop and there is little demand for it so I wouldn't expect it.
[HTC EVO 3D] cruise350:
Because Honeycomb sucks on tablets why would we want to put it on our phones. It is strictly a tablet OS and would make our phones run like crap not to mention no support for app data on the sd card. Everyone that has a tablet with Honeycomb is counting the days til ICS drops just like the phone guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
this.

is what I said, but not what I typed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
I was browsing the web and all of a sudden the whole screen went green. It was a tinted green where i could still use my phone. But holy crap. Idk what happened.

I found others with a similar issue:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Samsung-Galaxy-S2-screen-Issue/124708717610574

I can't reproduce the result, but it happened twice. I did a screen test by going to *#0*# and all is well from that test.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TxJ0k3r:
I think it might be the "Split View" option in your text messages.

That's all I can think of for the screen having an issue like that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanquro:
Hi, I have a problem with the screen of my Samsung Galaxy S2. The problem is screen corruption.

I have recorded a video, but as this is my first post, I can't post the Youtube video URL, so to see the video, you should visit youtube and add "/joanquro" to the URL of the home page of youtube. It's the first video in the list.

You can also search for the following words: Samsung Galaxy S2 screen corruption artifacts

Maybe hardware or software related?

Should I take it to Samsung service?

The device is now rooted and has CWM 5.0.2.3 installed, but the problem arose before flashing (stock rom).

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanquro:
I know, but I have ordered a USB JIG in order to return the device to its initial setup. I will also unroot the device and flash the original secure kernel.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joanquro:
Well, finally my USB JIG arrived today. I had to flash an old boot to allow it to work. I have exchanged my phone for a new unit in the shop.

It's charging now.

I hope the issue does not happen again with the new unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Wow what a great 24 hours as far as the ICS and Camera updates. Its almost a new tablet.......

My issue is the following. I received my Prime last Thursday from Best Buy. No issues really other than.....GPS. I don't know what happened but I saw that down by the dock mounts on the left side that the metal piece that lays above the connection and secures the glass is missing or broke. I have no other broken pieces or anything. I am post img a pic yes for advice if I should send it back or not. I probably should but geez it just is getting good lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrGiggles:
I guess you meant chipped Piece. not Price
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BUYMECAR:
Omg lol send it back! Think about the resell value, dude
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny80y:
Yea, get it replaced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] heyoh:
If I'm looking at you're picture right then you are talking about the rubber pieces on either side of the dock connector?

Those need to come off to be able to use the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
There is a thin strip of metal right above the rubber pads and somehow that thin piece broke off. I'm getting an RMA. I was just being stupid.

Mr. Giggles: This based on many other threads I've seen you in. Why do you have to be such a jerk to everyone? Its easy to be mean but harder to be nice.

Thanks for the input.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Thin strip of plastic to be precise sir. I would be surprised if they actually replace this under RMA, it does kinda look like you were just a bit rough with it yourself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Swear to goodness I didn't do a thing to it. I've had it since last Thursday. I guess it's form and the way things sort of roll under the bezel made me not notice it. I couldn't figure out why my screen was a little loose. Then I found this. I guess it is what it is. I got the RMA and spoke to Asus and told them about light bleed and GPS along with screen and crack. I'm just gonna hope for the best. However, no, I never dropped it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jjtodd89:
Couldn't find anything after searching..

I updated to 893, used forever root and stayed rooted. Using titanium backup i backed up all system data before i did any of this.

Now after a successful upgrade i decided i wanted my old texts back for work, as well as my work email account set up. I went to titanium back up and batch restored all system data.

Now, I went to system and it showed i was still on 893, but is everything else 893? do i get the perks? The longer battery life, no longer having to airplane mode for data, etc? or did i basically return, but not return to 886 by doing this?

thanks for your time :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Decay78:
I don't see how Titanium could install a radio or ROM just by doing a restore. The restore is done in the gui environment and cannot do these things, pretty sure. It may just be a bug, I have installed Liberty ROM after i did the .901 update and its radio shows .893. Folks around here tell me to disregard what the OS is reporting as the radio is patched but does not report correctly.

:rolleyes:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vmendez:
I read that the Galaxy S II has the hardware to support Bluetooth 4.0. I am interesting in developing a BLE application. Does the AT&T version of the S2 has the Bluetooth 4 hardware and is there a way to load the library so I can write apps using the broadcom-ble API? I tried loading an apk compiled from the broadcom-ble project but I am seing an error saying that the shared library was not found. Has anyone been able to get this to work?

Thanks,

Vicente
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The chip supports it, no clue if the broadcom firmware or libraries support it.

If it doesn't, no hope - Broadcom never publishes datasheets and their source code comments are next to useless, and if I ever mess around in the Broadcom drivers again it'll be to stop BT-AMP from going bat**** insane like it does on UCKK6.

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to code my first android app, which is an app that will copy some files from the app's asset folder to /system/app, adjust permissions and let the user know the process has been finished. I am a systems person, not a programmer, so know all of the details as to what has to get done. I create some scripts in /assets, and have the files I want to copy in /assets as well.

How do I go about programming this? Is this the right method I'm looking at doing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tycoon177:
Can I have the files? I'll try to do this for you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Holmes:
Better to help him instead of doing it for him, that way he learns more and gets his hands dirty. =p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danifunker:
Hehe, thanks for the response guys!

Anyways, tycoon177, thanks for signing up to help me!

I have zipped up everything I have related to the project, it is pretty simple, I just want to copy some files from the progrsm into /system/app, I have created an install and an uninstall script (although I haven't tested them just yet, not sure how I would do that right now) and have placed those scripts in the /assets/scripts folder. The goal is to copy the files into the proper locations, in order for the Kobo Vox to get access to the Android market. I have devised some instructions and posted them in the following forum page ( http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=160948&page=1 ), but a lot of users seem to be messing up their system (they aren't a technical bunch) so I figured I should try and learn java and build an app for all of this...

Unfortunately this is a little beyond my abilities, but my intro to Java course starts tonight :) hehe.

Anyways, the project name is called OogleVox, it won't need to be going onto the Android Market, and will probabably just be an apk download from one site or another.

The link to the source code is here:

http://www.multiupload.com/ASI47S2BM4

Thanks again for your help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gene Poole:
I don't know what Kobo Vox is, but for android, in general, the /system partition is read only, and on most devices the MMC or eMMC is locked so that it can't even be remounted read/write. Also, any user app won't be able to gain the required permissions to write to /system/app even if the partition was unlocked and mounted read/write. If you are rooted and security allows you write access to the MMC/eMMC, then you'd need su to gain the required permissions from the OS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danifunker:
Thanks Gene Poole, I know this app will require root permissions, which will require a run as su. That's going to be a requirement for the app :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tycoon177:
Sorry, I did not figure this out..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danifunker:
Thanks for trying! I'm taking a Java course at school now, maybe I'll be able to figure this one out in due time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
If you want to write app before learning java you could use basic4android. You could use its phone library to execute the commands direct and as you can also issue adb commands etc with it you could also have your app more interactive whereby it could check for things you know cause problems and react accordingly.

The site is basic4ppc.com I think, it would allow you to quickly and easily code an app and as with eclipse and other ide's it produces native standalone apk files signed and ready for use.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digthemlows:
Ok, this is probably a dumb question and I tried using "search" on the forums, on my device, from my computer and cannot seem to find the book I bought on the google market. I see it when I use Google Books app, but if I open kindle, or Aldiko I don't see the book, and when I use Root explorer I can't find it either. Anyone know where it gets stored?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
I do not have google books on my touchpad but I do have the kindle reader. Book files are stored at /sdcard/.palmkindle
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknee:
They are stored in the cloud. The only thing stored locally is a database file and the covers at /sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/accounts/youremail@gmail.com/volumes. You can test this by putting your device in airplane mode and then try to open a book.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekillingtree:
there's an option to store the books for offline use. they end up being stored here:

android/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/accounts/*your email acct*/volumes/book

the book folders aren't labeled 'the book of basketball' or w/e but you can browse thru the folders. it looks like they are all separated by chapter in the "segments" folder.

converting those files into a sharable file is something that i don't know but i'd imagine someone has done it.

Come on, you r in an international forum! Use English, please.
[LG Optimus 2x] voon:
Right, it was late and I thought I was in my german pocket pc forum :) In short:

Got a new LGOS, it hung in hardreset with "S/W Upgrade". Found out if I deactivate account syncing, it would proceed, so one issue gone.

Second, I started GetRIL out of curiosity on the rooted standard LGOS ... it reported a bad match. On a new 2.3.4 LGOS. I wondered why?

Maybe the BaseBand not upgraded... normaly it shoud be at least 0725 (and matching RIL also 0725 (v20l) )

I been getting the following warning ever since I loaded this app on my phone:

I have roughly half the available memory left:

I don't understand why I would be getting this message.

Is there a known bug with this program? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I have most my apps on my 16gb microsd card and have rooted and removed a lot of the bloatware.

Going to check to see where TiBackup stores it's backups as this might be eating some space but still, with over half the space still available, don't see how it is happening.

Have currently uninstalled the app and the warning has gone away.

Suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] klobkelosh:
Agreed. Also camera 360 (free at the moment on the market) does the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
To be honest, no. Camera zoom FX is far far superior and I still get blurry photos with 360. It's also not as easy to use as zoom fx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Stock app picture is not sharp (camera shake).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
i believe there is a software issue as well. i remember someone did an EXIF on some of their GNexus and the ISO was at like 1/6000 or something lol. ideally on my dslr i try to go for ISO 80.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I bought Camera Zoom FX when google had that 10 cent deal a few weeks back.

I will have to download and try it. To be honest I never even used it before just bought 90% of apps in case i ever needed it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Exactly my point. You have to be extremely careful and put in a lot of effort to get an in focus picture in the stock app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
Danger it. I knew I should have gotten it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
Just did the same test.. The OP is 100% right. The camera zoom fx shot IS better...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Yes. There are times when the difference won't be much noticeable (depends on how careful you were with the stock app), but overall camera fx with so much better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
flipping back and forth, initially you seem to be right, the stock app water bottle is blurrier. but, watch the wall in the background...its sharper in the stock app than the 'other app'. this would show stock app not picking the correct focus distance...stock focused farther behind the bottle (i'm sure you tapped to select the bottle for focus), other app properly focused on the bottle.

could be software or calibration
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Good point. I tapped on both apps directly on the water bottle label.

Camera zoom fx focuses on what it should, while the stock app doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
Camera 360 asks for too many permissions for a simple camera app. Fortunately, I managed to pick up Camera Zoom FX for $0.10 during the 10 day sale last month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
360 does indeed do that, plus it doesn't even work nearly as good as zoom fx. I'd even say 360 isn't an improvement over stock.

zoom fx opens just as fast as stock, yet performs better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
I never really got to try camera 360. As soon as I saw the permission requests, I cancelled the download.

I agree that zoom FX does takes better pictures, but only because it gives you time to steady your hand/the phone AFTER you tap on the screen. As you said in your original post, zero shutter lag is to blame. It takes pictures way TOO fast. Google should add delay settings that you can choose from such as 0(default)/.5s/1s/1.5s before taking the shot. Sure it defeats the purpose of zero shutter lag, but it at least gives us a choice which is what android is all about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dpp_04:
I bought Camera Zoom FX during the Market $0.10 sale. But haven't used it since I upgraded from my Desire to the Galaxy Nexus.

After reading this, I may have to start using it on a regular basis now. So thanks brian85!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RacingManiac:
IMO I just don't like the fact that I tap the screen to take the picture. I love the fast response, but since touch screen offers no real tactile feedback, its hard to get a "click" feel like you would with a regular camera. I had D1 Droid before this, and its camera is crap in general, bad quality and focus...etc. But it had a dedicated shutter button. Even though its just a switch, a physical button on the periphery is easier to let me hold the camera steady and shoot the picture. I wish there are some mod or in custom ROM that let you map one of the physical button(power, or one of the volumes) to act as the shutter release in the camera app....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spitefulcheerio:
You guys do know you can hold the shutter button in the stock camera app to focus and let go to take the picture, right?
