[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jebise101:
With my SGS 1 i could never use iPhone headsets do to different pin outs and that was a real shame. With the SGSII this is resolved, i just got the Raider and although it works i can play/pause I cannot change tracks.

I noticed the original HTC headset comes with track change buttons so meaning my one button skull candy cannot change tracks. Is there any solution to this?

I like my skullcandy headphones and its just the track changes do not work, double tap redials.

Any mod or hack for this?

Theres a free version of it too, but I always post the paid versions of things...

Free version is a trail which worked as i'd hoped. THANK YOU

This was a real bad thing about the raider and skull candy headphones. MUST HAVE!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MettaWorldBeast:
Hey guys I recently purchased a galaxy nexus about a week ago and opted for the extended battery that I asked for at the verizon store. My question is how many hours are you guys getting off your galaxy nexus with and without the extended battery? I can't seem to get a days use with it. :/ Also do you have any recommendations on what I should do to get more time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Turn off lte.

Sent from my Nexus in Texas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akanatrix:
There are too many factors between users to simply compare battery life. What is your usage pattern, screen time, brightness levels, average reception levels, wifi usage, GPS usage, syncing frequency, etc... I get maybe six hours from a fully charged extended battery, someone else may get twenty four hours.

If you want increased battery life, lower/maximize all the things I just mentioned above and turn off LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johantheolive:
Perhaps the most effective option that doesn't require that you alter your usage patterns is using a custom rom and, more importantly, kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ugapug:
Get one of the 4.0.3 based ROMs (like AOKP for instance) and add a 4.0.3 based kernel (I suggest Franco's). My battery life is much better with that combo. With light use I have seen upwards of 36 hours on the extended battery.

HBoot 1.5

Aright so i rooted a few days ago and i have had some problems with the phone... mainly that it will reboot randomly and i have to take the battery out to get it to start back up again. I have tried a few ROMs and Kernels but nothing seems to of worked. Now after all of it my WiFi/4G does not work. Well i tried putting the PG86IMG.zip in my SD card root and when i go into HBoot it picks the file up but it never gets past Parsing.... It checks then says Parsing and goes back to HBoot

A little help would be much appreciated
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Hey from the sounds of your issue sounds like a bad kernel flash is causing your wifi and 3g issue along with the random reboots and did you wipe right when you flashed another rom?

Also the PC img your using it's not called PG86IMG.zip.zip alot of people do that on accident and that will cause issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kratz17:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you can't flash a PG86IMG.ZIP with s-on and if you have hboot 1.50 there's no s-off method for now.

You need to flash roms or kernel using the adb fastboot method.

Sent From My Nocturnal 3Dimension
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
But he did screw the kernel up from the sounds of it.

I think that is true lol. He kinda lost me there on the post. I know he has the latest Hboot so you can't flash a Zip file which your right about.
[HTC EVO 3D] PanaFonic:
how exactaly do i return it to stock then if i cant flash the zip from hboot?

and sorry i didnt really know how to explain it but any suggestions on which kernel to use? i cant seem to find one that doesnt break the wifi or make my phone reboot if it is left alone for too long
[HTC EVO 3D] Kratz17:
Well maybe he can try the flash image GUI app and try to reflash the kernel from the rom he installed.

Flash image gui

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui

Open the app browse to the rom.zip you installed. Make sure wipe dalvik cache and cache are checked in this app and flash it. Hope it works.

I was angry at my current rom which was on MTD so i decided just to you the old samsung "phone flash utility" (Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe) that was uploaded on their site like a year ago to go back to stock. well i think since the phone was MTD it didnt work and now its stock at the connect cable screen, is there anything i can do?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monke30butt:
I am running CleanGB MTD. The first time I tried to install it I had a bad download & needed to redo it from scratch. I used the Samsung EB13 Windows Installer utility to restore my phone back to stock & had no problems at all. It was up & running on MTD just had a few errors that I did not have time to fix that morning & I ran it for a few days after restoring with the utility, rooting, & restoring my backup. But now I'm enjoying the MTD goodness.....

Can you get back into download mode?

If so I would get a different USB cable & try running the installer again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmaster1:
from what ive been reading on the threads, i believe you can just odin back, and back sure you have reboot and re-partition checked marked.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endurance1:
I found out what the problem was. I should have known this because this happened to me once before. I was using my front USB ports. Front ports on most pc's are only 1.0 and you need to use the back 2.0 ones to work. Most people think its cable issues but its usually just USB port. This samsung utility is a complete gem! screw odin. thanks for the response!!!

So my friend gave me his phone to see if I could fix it. It loops in CWM and won't get out of it and I can't connect with odin to it. (My phone connects just fine.) This is the only other thing I can think of. Anyone else got other ideas?

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------

Well tried it and phone still not discovered by the PC. I am at a loss at what to do. I know my friend tried to install some type of rom to it and didn't make a backup. It boots in to CWM non-stop and I can flash zips but it never leaves that loop even after the flashes. I can boot into Download mode but the phone won't be recognized. Tried both Odin and this. The phone is getting charged through the cable though which confuses me even more. Any help?!

Use a different cable with odin... it may be charging it but its not getting a data connection... also put into download mode and plug in usb... then "jiggle" the cord until it recognizes it...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Root:
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Then also try Odin with the battery and phone plugged in. Make sure you use a better cable than stock.

Download the image for your phone from the above URL. Place your phone into bootloader mode by powering the device off, holding the volume up button and pressing the power button. Extract the tgz using 7zip, place the zip file in the same directory as your fastboot executable and run the command below:

Do I need it? Im currently on TPCv3 ROM and about to switch to SkyIceCreamSandwich. I use CWM

I looked in my system/bin and have no "recovery" file whatsoever
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Don't worry for rite now just flash sky ice. 3e only comes in role when you have corrupted internal sd card and just flash the rom through cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
3e Recovery is the stock recovery partition on 2.3.5 and 2.3.6. When you flash CWM, it replaces 3e Recovery. I believe it's located in /sbin.

Installing another launcher is an easy way to clear the defaults.

You need to use the CWM in the OP of the nightly thread.

Thanks, cm7 is running great, except for one problem. I cannot install the google add ons. I flashed the add ons from the cm wiki ( I cleared catch before ), and it seemed to have flashed correctly but when I reboot there is nothing. I have fixed permissions via rom manager, but still no add ons. I am running the CWM from the link you provided.
[Fascinate General] :
I would try mounting /system (in cwm) before flashing gapps.
[Fascinate General] StevaB793:
it says "error mounting /system", any other solution?
[Fascinate General] StevaB793:
Says "Error mounting /system", should I install another version of cwm?

Try holding the power button > reboot recovery > flash this kernel in recovery.. http://androtransfer.com/tk-glitch/CM7kernels/Glitch 13.1/CM7Fascinate-Glitch-V13_1-REL.zip

That should update your recovery to the latest CWM. After that, reboot into recovery again, wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash the latest GAPPS for CM7. That should get you working.

You need to open the terminal from the specified directory

Simplest way without having to be a cmd pro is to make a shortcut to the platform-tools folder on your desktop... then holding shift while right clicking on it will shoe you an option to open command prompt front that folder

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongkongtom:
guys, I am have stock 4.0.2 rooted with CWM, is there a way to update stock rom (when stock 4.0.3 comes out) without wiping data?

I know I could do all kinds of MyBackupPro or Titanium Backup, but still it's quite a bit of hassle especially I can't keep anything in Internal Storage, anyone got an idea on this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
Easiest way would be to go ahead and flash the factory recovery back rather than clockworkmod. If you are on stock now and are wanting to get the 4.0.3 OTA when its pushed than you really don't need clockwork. If you flash the factory recovery back that we will be able to get the OTA and not worry about a data wipe. Flashing the factory recovery will not effect your current root at all so you stay rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongkongtom:
wow, thanks, so, I'm assuming I could use the same tool (GNex Toolkit) to flash back my factory recovery, right? besides, what if I did flash a custom kernel (like Jame Bond), do I need to flash back that too? or I could just leave it and the OTA would overwrite the kernel with stock kernel?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] badassirocz:
You should be able to use that tool kit or you can just use fastboot and do the following after downloading the proper factory image from google and extracting the recover.img as for the kernel I don't believe it will effect the OTA at all.

- copy the recovery.img file to the directory that contains your fastboot utility

- start-up a terminal/command session

- put your phone into fastboot / bootloader mode

- type the following fastboot command to flash the stock recovery:

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

OP, your internal storage doesn't get wiped when flashing a new ROM.. The virtual SD card is left untouched.

Also I'm pretty sure you lose root if you accept an OTA update.. but you can easily reroot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hongkongtom:
thanks! would give it a try!

um. I am not so sure it would be the case for Galaxy Nexus, data wipe before (like my GS2) just means user data, but for Galaxy Nexus, last time i tried it wipe my internal storage as well. when I'm using the GN toolkit to flash 4.0.2 image downloaded from Google, it wiped my data and storage, do you mean there is a way to flash Google image without wiping for GN ?

great, while knowledge never have enough, my next question is "How could I manually flash (instead of OTA) stock Google image (in case 4.0.x got out) without wiping my GN?" (assuming I am coming from earlier stock rom)

Hey, anyone know why some E4GT browsers downloads are often duds vs. The same download link when using my laptop always works perfect?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] capcanuck:
Stock browsers are lame.. try opera or dolphin, (i prefer opera), or if you want to keep stock browser download "download all files" from the market.. problem solved
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
The stock browser does not handle certain file extensions well, probably intentionally because the file types that fail tend to be related to romming and large files.

I recommend Boat browser. Dolphin is the most popular alt browser, but has eaten through my battery life on every phone I have used it on (I am taking 20 percent after a few minutes of use)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mybikegoes200:
FWIW...

I had the exact same issue with downloads not coming through correctly... I tried several different browsers - Dolphin included... None worked... UNTIL Firefox-mobile. It downloads *everything* correctly (in my case, NZB files). The bad news is that FM is ENTIRELY too top-heavy for a mobile app in my opinion and sucks the life out of both the processor and memory - so it is not a good option as an everyday every-use browser. But when you absolutely need the download to work - its what I open.

Give it a shot. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Thanks dude. I'm gonna give Firefox mobile a shot. I also heard Xscope browser was quite efficient as well. I'm gonna try them both since I still have no clue how the download all files app works.

For those who use CM7 or a different rom, here are a couple app's that will make using your Kindle Fire a bit more friendly.

These app's help give you back functionality you were missing because of lacking hardware buttons.

Zmooth

A app that gives you gestures to replace the missing Home, Back, Menu buttons. Works even in full-screen games/apps.

Volume Control

Places a small bar on one side of your screen (configurable) to adjust the volume. Can be set to disappear after a couple seconds. Also works in full-screen games/apps.
