Its an improper display if you boot into cwm and wipe battery stats it would have showed the proper battery also next time you charge your phone play with it once it reaches 100% and leave it on the charger for an extra 20-40 minutes and then you battery should be back to normal. Side note get off of froyo where no longer in the dark ages bud :)

It is a bug that has been reported hundreds of times. Plug into a charger and reboot back to where you were or leave battery out for 5 minutes and reboot. Wish people could search for this but know the search function is not great.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yeah, but that is not the OPs issue. There is a bug in CWM and the battery stats that when you reboot below a certain percantage...let's say 70, it will incorrectly drop to a very low percentage. This is easily avoided by rebooting connected to a charger or can be resolved by removing the battery for a few minutes. It will go back to where it was. All the wiping and recalibrating in the world will not resolve this bug. It is just a glitch.

[General Questions and Answers] russ18uk:
Backup any data you want to keep and factory reset your phone TBH. However, damage may already be done and you may want to contact your provider and get a new number. Some may do that for free if you contact the police about it and provide a crime reference number.
[General Questions and Answers] dftba:
Did you install any potentially dodgy apps? I'd say it was just a joke or your friend's free text service going weird, but then your phone wouldn't be making random calls, so it sounds like something installed on your phone.

Have you tried Googling your number to see if it's on some weird website? What OS is your phone on?

Factory resetting and changing your number seems like the best opinion. If your phone really has been hacked (unlikely) then I'd change your passwords too.
[General Questions and Answers] Bob_Bobber0:
I did a factory reset and data wipe. I am still running the ginervolt from for my revolution.

We'll see if I get any more messages. The app I was using to tether my phone via usb was like pdaNet or something. It freaked out and froze my phone and computer mid chat like you see, and thats when the craziness began.

My phone wasn't randomly dialing numbers but it kept trying to call numbers I was trying to call (I called several people at work once, but then my phone called them like 10x).

Also people I was texting received tons of repeat messages. But the crazy part is that when I turned off my phone to reset it and booted back up I had the voicemail "call me back ************" from an unknown number.

its like the guy who got spliced into the texting app also called the person he was talking to but I got the message...really weird.

I changed all my passwords for all vital accounts etc. hopefully this fades.
[General Questions and Answers] dftba:
Thanks for clarifying. Your situation sounds strange indeed but it doesn't sound like a hack. Still, changing the passwords is good for piece of mind.
[General Questions and Answers] Bob_Bobber0:
I just hope someone actually isn't after me like the messages would seem to suggest lol.
[General Questions and Answers] dftba:
Unless you pissed someone off it seems highly unlikely. I think it is, as you say, random messages from someone else's conversation. What chat service were you using? Maybe that's what caused it.
[General Questions and Answers] Bob_Bobber0:
He was using some type of textfree service on his desktop computer, and I was using pdaNet 3.0 or something tethering my 4g to my laptop via usb. The app has a separate download that allows you to view and respond to your text messages via a window on your desktop.
[General Questions and Answers] bazzag:
The Arabic text is identical to the first paragraph of this article:

http://www.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/01579360-A7DA-44ED-A1BF-B20B343F7B8B.htm

It's roughly says, "Al-Azhar (An Islamic institute based in Egypt) assures the need to keep the goals of the Egyptian revolution on track, while asking the council of armed forces to hand the country's rule back to civilians on time.".
[General Questions and Answers] Bob_Bobber0:
Interesting. So does anyone have a theory about what could have happened?

Why I got text messages, voicemails, and more text messages, in several different languages?
[General Questions and Answers] LordJummy:
I still think someone posted your number somewhere or is using some sort of attack against you for "the lols". I don't see how it could be compromised if you wiped and ran stock.
[General Questions and Answers] dftba:
Question is, has this stopped since the factory reset? If it's still happening, it could be to do with your number, but if not, then it's unlikely. As I said, you can also do a Google search for your number to see if it comes up anywhere if you're paranoid about that possibility.

Personally, unless you put your number online yourself or gave it to someone who'd do this kind of thing (as you've assured us you haven't), I think that's unlikely, and even if it is the case, I really don't think someone can use your number to make your phone call out - that would be because of some app installed on it.

Is your number a new one? I know someone who got a new number and kept getting lots of weird calls on it, presumably intended for someone who used the number before him on a different SIM. I guess the network recycled the number.
[General Questions and Answers] Bob_Bobber0:
Sorted it out. Apparently it was an office prank with like 6 ppl involved. Man I hate my friends lol... 3 days of torture and paranoia over this ****.

I am sorry lmao. The next time mess with them back. That's what I would do.
[General Questions and Answers] dftba:
Well at least it's not a real hack, yeah as zelendel said get 'em back ;)

Still wondering how the phone started making extra calls and stuff if it was just getting prank messages though :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Not unless they managed to install something on the phone when he wasn't looking. I would look deeper into that for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] Krysta1234:
The same thing

The same thing has been happening to me for years but it comes from diff numbers and one number has my same area code its creepy they say the weirdest things I wanna change my number but I've had this number for years an have it on all my applications so I can't reakly do that right now ugh its annoying
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I know there is probably an app for that.

But I mean speed dial. I want to open the phone app (which, in my scenario, defaults to the keypad), and long-press a number to quick-dial someone.

My boss can go from "we need to call x", to actually dialing on his blackberry in about 1.5 seconds.

I have to unlock, wait for the screen to actually respond (since it freezes for that half second after unlocking), hit the people tile, hit the "work" group, find the contact, tap it. Then tap "call".

I could pin that group to the main page, yes. But that's beside the point.

My old windows mobile device had 99 spots for speed dial numbers. Please Microsoft. Just let us speed dial.

--edit--

While I'm on this, there should be a more business-friendly setup available. In my "work" group, I don't care "what's new" or what pictures they've uploaded to facebook.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
You can also voice command "call xxx" via lock screen (if enabled) or even bluetooth without touching the phone (on windows phone).

I used a blackberry for years, and as phones they are amazing. I have yet to see any touchscreen phone than is as quick for things such as calling (without voice) as a BB. Its very efficient at that. Dedicated call/end buttons are always nice as well.

But yes, we do need smart dialing. Vote for it here:

[Windows Phone 7 General] jpijper:
There are indeed plenty of apps for that ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] angler:
Which application can be natively put into the default phone dialer to speed dial with long press the number?
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Not possible as of yet.

The best dialer I've found on the Marketplace so far is 7Dialer. It doesn't quite have a speed dial function, but you can pin contacts to the dialer, making calls and texts just a swipe and a tap away. Very quick. And it looks very nice (conforms to Metro and the native dialer). Also has the smart dial/search functionality so you can hit some numbers to narrow people for fast searching.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
But why is MS overlooking what would seem to be such a basic feature as speed dialing? Old home phones from the 90s can do this.

Admitted I do not use speed dialing but I am sure some other people do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Microsoft has not overlooked Speed Dialing, Windows Phone simply does it in a different way using a pinned tile. Pin a live tile, tap it and tap a number. It serves the same purpose and it follows Microsoft people-first/Metro UI methodology.

Everyone is so used to things working one way, that they can't get used to or are unwilling to get used to doing things a different way. All part of Microsoft's uphill battle. Using new design paradigms and being different requires people to change, and sometimes people just don't want to, which is totally understandable. The way things work on Windows Phone may not be for everyone, but there are advantages if you take the time to learn and use the functions of the phone the way they were intended.

This is not just a Microsoft thing, this is just the way that things work when you introduce change.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Yeah, pinning the contact is the metro style speed dial.

Another thing I see people constantly complaining about is not having a smart dialer with the keypad, but I just type out the name in the "call log" and it pops up, same concept, and if it isn't there, you hit "search contacts, and bam...

I honestly rarely used speed dial, so I may be biased here. I tried to a few times, hated it, I like this way more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The problem, though, is that the "metro way" is no more efficient than an "old-fashioned" speed dialer. Plus, it further crowds and already overcrowded start screen. If someone were to follow every suggestion in this forum for how to just pin a live tile every time they wanted to do something, they would soon have hundreds of tiles cluttering the start screen.

It seems to me that Microsoft is trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist. Change for its own sake doesn't necessarily make things better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
TIP - Pin a User Group for quick access.

Creating a group and pinning it is probably a better option though. Once the group is pinned, you tap the group, and see just those in the group. Then tap the contact from the group. Then select the number.

That way you don't need to add a tile for every speed dial contact.

It's 1 more tap than the old speed dial. Press phone. Press number. Press talk. Or was it press and hold number. Or was it press first digit and press and hold next digit. I think depending on the phone, it was all of these in the past.

This. Tap group. Tap Contact. Tap communication method.

With speed dial you needed to memorize what number you saved them under. This lets you know with out memorizing a number who you are going to call and how.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
I wouldn't be surprised if they add smart dialing in the future. Maybe with Apollo. It is one of those efficient, productivity issues that should be a given with any smartphone imo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] angler:
I shall be surprised Microsoft will implement press and hold number digit to speed dial a phone number for WP. Microsoft think in a different way to dial most-used phone number in such a way to pin that contact as the live tile. There is no application around currently work as previous smart phone saying Anna or Belle. Apple also did not implement such kind of speed dial but a favourite in a tab of the iphone native phone dialer. I am used to the press and hold number speed dial despite I have to memorize which phone contact is set of which number digit.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
I wish they just let me type in the dialer and scan for both the phone number and the name (t9). And the phone number search should skip country code and other prefixed code (unlike the mango api which searches for a number with an exact match :() eg if I want to find 061234 it should also return 003161234 and +3161234 and vice versa.

This alone would kill all the need for a quick/smart dialer. I am aware of typing in the call log, yet you still have to click the name and than tap on the phone number.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
TIP on dialing from history

Actually, from history, if instead of tapping the name, you tap the phone icon to the left of the name, it will immediately dial the number last used for that contact.
[Windows Phone 7 General] aptcore:
Not exactly what you are asking for but if you press a number followed by a # in the dialer, it will show you the contact phone associated with it and the option to call it. The hard thing would be to find which is the number associated with the phone number of your interest.

I'm loving the Prime more and more each day and I was wondering if it were possible for the keyboard dock to support USB 3G Modems?

I'd really like the idea of having my internet connection cover a wider range than regular WiFi since my country isn't completely WiFi covered.

Heard this was possible with the TF101, so I came here to ask for the TF201. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] blizzard1017:
I can navigate adb and everything just fine and no I don't need to know how to set up unlock or want to know if there is a root method lol. I'm way past all that.

I have been reading about TWRP 2.0 though and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I have read it's suggested to actually remove the other recovery then install the new one. How exactly to I go about that? and do I HAVE to leave the twpr2.0ect...name intact or can I rename it?

2nd, and semi related but not, when flashing Roms I know I can flash kernels in the same set up time but can I also SAFELY flash other items?

Example: I have been having to reflash OLYMPUS for various reason but I also use the stock lock ring zip, Anthrax and now would like to use the Leedroid tweaks.

Can I flash all in the same recovery session? If so is there a suggested order for multiple items?
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
To install new recovery, simply boot your phone into the bootloader. The latest (and sadly probably last) version of TWRP is here. Plug a USB cable into your phone from your computer. You should see FASTBOOT change to FASTBOOT USB. Now in a command prompt window, go to the directory where your fastboot.exe is located, (place the recovery that you want flash in the same folder to make things easier). Type in the command

fastboot.exe flash recovery thenameofyourrecovery.img

Wait a few seconds. It should output a message saying that the recovery image had successfully been flashed.

--

Now, to flash Roms, Kernels, addons, etc... Unfortunately, an issue with HBOOT 1.50, you can't just flash kernels, etc straight from recovery. What you'll have to do is flash either using Flash Image GUI (not too familiar with it) or Boot a recovery image using fastboot on your computer.

Similar command follows.

fastboot.exe boot thenameofyourrecovery.img

It will boot into recovery, from here you can go ahead and flash your ROMs, etc. If you haven't done a NANDroid backup, do that first just in case. On you phone, now you can flash the ROM, then Kernel, lockring, one after another (as far as I know, you should be fine doing things in that order - ROM goes first though).

For a better explanation, look at post #2 of this thread.

Best of luck. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] blizzard1017:
Thank you on the 2nd part, I got the adb into recovery part down.

As far as the 1st part, is there any truth to needing to delete the original recovery before I flash the new? If so how would I do that?

Are team win defunct? I don't follow their threads very close.
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Glad I could help. :)

Nope, you don't need to delete the original recovery before flashing the new one. You can safely flash the new recovery without doing anything before.

About TeamWin. It would probably be best for me to point you to their most recent blog post. I'm not too sure about the future, I guess we'll have to see what happens.

[HTC Sensation] UnLucky12:
Hi. I was going to update from Elegancia 1.4.3 to 1.4.4. As usual, I make a nandroid backup before flashing. And also backed up all my apps.

After I took the nandroid backup, I syncronised my phone with HTC Sync to save my contacts, pictures music etc. Then I deleted one of my old backups, since I need a little more space on my SD card. I had around 3 GB.

After I deleted it, now my phone says I have 1,2 GB. Everything on my SD card is gone, then I mean pictured and music, also rom manager keeps FC, Titanium backup wont give me busybox checked (got premium installed)

I also can't get my pictured and music back when I sync my phone with HTC Sync..

WHAT IS WRONG? And why does it say I have 1,2 GB left on my SD card when nothing is on my phone anymore. It does work, but this is making me frustrated..

Nothing wrong with the phone, run smoothly, but it is just the thing I have mentioned that irritates me.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
By chance, did you delete everything using an Ubuntu or other Linux computer?

If so, the trash files could still be there. You can fix it by remounting the SD card to the computer and emptying the trash.

If you did this through the phone or via Windows....then I dunno.

But you could always try saving the contents of the card to a computer, formatting the card from within the phone, and copying the saved files back. That might fix you up.

Basically on computers we have programs like ghostmouse etc that record our mouses movements and can then play them back at any speed that the user sets.

I was just wondering if this was possible on the windows phone and/or there is a application available already for doing so?

Basically just thinking of having a application on screen and the recording playing/recording etc?
