[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] 1ceb0x:
Why do you ever want to kill all the working processes from inside your android?

Yes, it will make your phone feel much fluent (flash heroDeck and your phone will fly), but in the same time - the program itself will eat a lot of battery due to the cycle: kill all (more CPU required) - android starts processes all over again - kill all (more CPU required) - android starts processes all over again - and so on!

Android its all about multitasking. Personally, I see these programs as a waste of time and space.
[Kindle Fire General] rootedm1001:
First hello and thanks for the help that I have found within the forums.

I can not post in the development forum, so I have been using Jackpots ICS flashed his New zip with sound fix last night and this morning when I left for work with the fire it was SOD and I had to restart 2 times before it would work correctly, and one of my games wouldn't work it kept FC, Other than this isuue it runs great and sounds as if he got video going, lets hope he remembers what he did
[Kindle Fire General] dcaplinger76:
Sure hope he does.. Actually I'm sure he will but I hope for his sake it doesn't take him long. Sucks when you fix something but don't know how
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
All -

My beloved 3D is telling me there's a security update being pushed by Sprint. I am rooted but with an as yet untouched (stock) ROM. I obviously don't want to lose root - will allowing this update remove root (I've had that issue with past phones). I backed out of the update but the stupid notification won't go away so if it comes to pass that I should *not* allow the update, I need to figure out how to get rid of that blasted icon.

Thanks as always
[HTC EVO 3D] Luda305:
If you are on hboot 1.50 just flash stock recovery and then take the update...you will not lose root...when done, flash back to wutever recovery you were using before and you're all done....
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
If you could see me now, you'd see eyes glossed over, deer in the headlights look. Yes, I'm on 1.50... To flash the stock recovery I'm guessing I just go into recovery, apply update from zip, and go, correct? Where can I find the stock recovery at? Then, when done, if I have a stock recovery I don't know how to put shooter xc back on... Cripes I'm chasin my tail...
[HTC EVO 3D] Luda305:
Wut u need to do is download the 3 files i have attached here for u.Make sure to extract the 2 zip files.

1.Install flash image gui like any other apk and open.

2.Click on Recovery Image then browse to where ever the stock recovery is on your sd card and select it and then click flash.

3.You should now have stock recovery on ur evo so just proceed to install the update. If all goes good you should now be updated.

4.If you want to put cwm as your recovery again just open flash image gui and repeat step 2 but this time just browse to cwm on your sd card and flash that.

You should be all set know.
[HTC EVO 3D] theotrman:
Luda305,

Is this proven and can you run a rom that isn't updated?

Thank you in advance!:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Luda305:
Yes this is proven as I did this myself. Only works if your on the stock rom of your phone. If you mean can you flash a rom that is not updated after you do this the answer is yes. The radio will stay updated no matter what rom you flash since we are on hboot 1.50 and can't flash radios. Hope this answers your question.
[HTC EVO 3D] theotrman:
Thank you for the direction. :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] Luda305:
No problem. Glad I can help....

CWM for recovery is pretty nice some folks were having issues using TWRP 2.0 I had few using it when it came to flashing werid ones.

All who like flash image GUI please get the paid version to support the developer its only a dollar. Joey Krim is a lifesaver for those of us on hboot 1.5.

[HTC EVO 3D] capisce1987:
Did anyone on hboot 1.4 lose s-off or get a upgraded hboot version when excepting the OTA update?
[HTC EVO 3D] Mardibob:
Ok, quick question. Flashed stock recovery, but I cannot update via the HTC updater.

So I downloaded the update in zip format.

How do I install from the Zip?? with stock recovery on????
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
You can't. You need a custom recovery. Unless your s-off and you flash it threw the bootloader.

""Shooter on Deck""
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
How did you download the update in Zip format???

Also - as far as FlashImageGUI, I downloaded (and thus paid .99 for) my copy from the market. I'm a firm believer in rewarding those who put the work in.
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
I can't get the update to work :( I used flashimagegui; flashed to stock recovery; went to HTC software update, hit check now, downloaded, hit install now; it goes into bootloader-type loading screen; gets about 1/5 of the way then displays an android software with a red triangle/exclamation point.

I suspect that if I can find this update in the form of a zip, I could just apply the update from CWM but I have no idea how to get the update in that form... Any help is greatly appreciated
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Did you reboot after flashing the stock recovery? Are you on a rooted rom or did you revert back to the stock RUU?
[HTC EVO 3D] mybikegoes200:
I tried rebooting after flashing stock recovery - it did the same thing... I'm rooted, but on the original ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Did you validate that the stock recovery worked by holding volume down and power and booting into recovery? Did you fastboot oem lock? I havent seen much success with people using the flash image GUI but i've seen around the forums that if you go into the custom recovery, flash the stockl recovery zip, flash the stock rom zip then then fastboot oem lock, it works.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AnneS:
I have an unusual problem :)

My brother in-law has, in a short version, Autism and Tourettes. One of his challenges is enforcement action, and one of his triggers is internet and sms. He needs to have a phone, but the sight of the envelope and the opportunity to send sms in the really stresses him, makes his day really bad and he gets very sick (needs medication and lies in his bedrom with no light and eyes closed)

So here it is: can someone out there help us to "create" a phone who's only function is to call? Is someone up for the challenge?

This is really imortant for us to improve my brother in-law quality of life :)

Hope to hear from u :D

hi,

seniorenhandys-online .de/cms/website.php?id=/de/kinderhandys/kinderhandy_easy5_plus.php (delete the spaces)

im sorry because its in german. the point is, it's a mobile phone for kids. it only has a call function and supports some emergency numbers like most of the phones for old people have.

maybe you find something like this (amazon, ebay, whereever)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WasmachinemanNL:
Looked at the John's Phone? Only thing it can do is calling and thats it, Good example for more people in the world btw.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Optikn3rv:
Yep Johns phone, might be expensive but easy to use made for old people really.

Not allowed to link but google Johns phone. Its the worlds simplest phone even the address book is a bit of paper and a pen.

It's said to be "The world's simplest cellphone." That's a bold claim from anyone let alone a previously unknown (in gadget circles anyway) Dutch team of creatives over at John Doe Amsterdam who wanted to build a basic phone -- the most basic phone ever -- that wasn't as dull and boring as other affordable phones on the market. So is it? Well, it certainly is basic. In the age of smartphones and cheap featurephones, John's phone is more clearly defined by what it lacks than what it has: no fancy color touchscreen display; no camera; no 3G radio, WiFi, Bluetooth or even GPRS data; no FM radio; no user-accessible storage; and no music player or apps of any kind. It can't even send a text message. It's just a quad-band GSM phone with an ink pen and paper notepad tucked neatly into its capacious recesses. That's right, pen and paper. So, it's definitely basic
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AnneS:
Thanks :o)

Then I have ordered a new phone for Andreas, and hoping it will be a success :)

Funny thing is that after u tipped me about Johns Phone I call several suppliers here in Norway and no one had heard about Johns Phone :eek: Weird:)

Anyway, thanks for the tip :D

It took me a bit of practise but I got the "F......n" hang of it.

Samsung US wont even acknowledge international 7.7's exists, a good deal of the US reps really dont know the international version exists anyways.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
Why do you think this is? Simply agreements between companies? Ie- gtab 7.7 is only available through verizon. So, I ordered the international version through an importer because I WANTED phone functionality, that and 3g is as fast as 4g in my location. Do carriers in the US actually have such power as to kill alternative product releases (for example: iphone was only available through at&t for YEARS....) it's almost like apple handed half the smartphone market to android by signing such a deal with at&t....

Also it seems like samsung isn't even trying to recover their losses on this device... how many of us are there? 10.000? 20.000? The p6800 certainly hasn't been as popular as the n7000--- so are they just dropping device support because it was a flop? This all reminds me of the GM electric car debacle... people LOVED their electric cars, only to have the entire project scrapped. Check out "who killed the electric car" on google video... what a mess....

And yes, this post thread is dove-tailing with the "samsung's gTab 7.7 marketing strategy SUCKS" thread....

This is a problem that has plagued me since day 1 when I got my N1, persisted through my Nexus S, and now with my Galaxy Nexus and I have vowed to fix this...

Whenever I receive a MMS message regardless of the sender's carrier, the message comes in and says "Subject: no subject" before the picture is displayed. Small, trivial, issue yes, but I can not for the life of me get rid of it and have tried nearly every possible APN setting from Googling alternate options. I have also tried using replacement messaging apps and all have the same result. My current APN settings are:

Me: How can I go about fixing this?

_Braxton M: This is something that unfortunately cannot be fixed. This is a standard function of T-Mobile devices.

Me: So you're saying that ALL t-mobile devices when receiving MMS messages will display "Subject: no subject" when the sender hasn't specified a subject field?

Is not everyone experiencing this when a subject is not specified?

iOS has a setting where you can turn it off, I'm surprised Android does not have this functionality or does not just omit the subject when the sender does not set one.:confused:

Okay i was trying to force update the latest 8107 update on my mozart and suddenly my computer went dead, and now my phone is bricked i guess, tried pulling out battery, tried hard resetting but it always goes back to the "Plug in to computer(when its installing updates picture).

Anyone else know what i can do now?
[7 Mozart General] Yatesy24:
My wife did the same by pulling the cable out on my mother in law's mozart. Unfortunately I had done the upgrade as a guest and as such didn't have a restore point as soon as she took the cable out.

So I unbricked by restarting with the power and vol down to get into the SPL and then flash a stock rom see thread with all the ROMs, then got windows (zune) to do all of the upgrades again.

After I got most of her data back from the cloud, the only real thing that she lost was her text messages, a few emails and some pictures that she haddn't sync'ed.

Let me know if you need more help via PM and I will see what I can do.
