I have a feeling this has already been asked, but can't search right now, so can anyone tell me how to increase the max music volume?

Download volume+ from market.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Or you can get poweramp and use the eq setting "speakerphone (loud) " gets better results than the two listed imo.
[HTC Incredible S] VaderXI:
Thanks all...ill give these a try. Thought there may have been a way to alter it permanently in the hardware or something, but nevermind.

This might help push the Flyer and View toward ICS. Certainly the Jetstream will be going there.

It will certainly be good news for Scribe pen technology applications.

This game looks awesome. It's also free, but since it's made for Snapdragon processors/Adreno GPU, you need to use Chainfire3D + Qualcomm plugin to play it.

Ok, so after some digging & wtf's lol..all the info I came across states this game (even w/ CF3D) doesn't work on our device. Something to do with Adreno 205 required (that's the error message I receive when trying to open as well) and CF3D Qualcomm emulating an earlier version. How did you get it to work?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Product F(RED):
I didn't. I just saw on the video that the uploader said it runs on the GSII with Chainfire 3D.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnoidgoat:
First of all, I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BILLIONS OF TIMES, SO BEFORE YOU REPLY WITH "Search the forums" READ THIS.

I have been looking for WEEKS trying to find an answer to this,and no answer given on any forums are what I am looking for.

I have an android phone (sidekick 4g) and there are apps that run in the background when not necessary. Now I know some stuff need to be aways running for the phone to function. But I also know that apps like Facebook, Market, Gmail, T-mobile's Media Store, MyYearBook, Maps, Aptoide, etc don't. When I force close them, they just start up a few seconds later. I've tried task killers and got the same result. I've read the "Why you shouldn't use a task killer" articles but everyone keeps saying different things about it so I'm confused.

Like many others, I want my battery to last at least half way through the day. The above mentioned apps (and some others) DRAIN THE BATTERY WHEN RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN I DON'T WANT THEM TO.

Please does anyone know of a way to fix this?

My phone is rooted, if that matters.

Also, "freezing" the apps don't help cause then I can't use them when I actually want to.

Thank you very much in advance anyone who can help me out!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
Applications running, doesn't mean cpu cycles are being used. Sitting in memory is no different then a song sitting on your sdcard. Your issue with the battery has to do with processes using cpu cycles. If you have applications that update, force updates manually.

Just having apps in memory isn't your issue.

Use the features built into the os, find out what apps are causing the problem. Look at the settings. If you have looked at your settings, then you have one of three choices. Open bugreports with the application developers, don't install the apps causing problems, or upgrade your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnoidgoat:
Thank you that makes sense.

I would think those apps would use battery because it pushes notifications for the app (like new messages and stuff). Does that not use battery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
It does use battery because to process the notification it needs to use the cpu. If you force applications to update manually. Your batter would be better. Check into battery saving tuts. All that information has already been discussed plenty. Won't change in this scenario either.

The more apps you have updating information the more data and notifications are being processed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnoidgoat:
Thank you!

Also, I have another problem, if you know anything about this kinda stuff. The Facebook app icon just (like 10 minutes ago) disappeared from my home screen, and it's not in the app drawer either. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still having the problem. I can only open it by manually searching "facebook" in the google search widget and that's when it gives me the option to open the app. It's really bizzare and I have no idea what's going on.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lithid-cm:
Sounds like a issue with the rom or launcher. Try installing another launcher from the market and see if the application is installed. If its there with another launcher then its your stock launcher, if its not then its the rom.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZekaPeka:
Hello all!

I've installed Go Contacts EX on my Galaxy Ace and I came across these 2 issues:

1. I cannot clear missed calls log, even when I start the app and enter Missed calls section. "Clearing" it from Notification bar doesn't work either, because the number just increases +1 every time I miss a call... I have to use Phone (stock app) for this??

2. Also, using Contacts (stock app) I've setup default call numbers for contacts which have more than one number under them. Apparently, GO Contacts is aware of this [there's a star next to the default number]. However, it keeps asking me which number I want to use whenever I want to make a call or send a text message! It's really annoying! With the old stock app, all I had to do was slide my finger right or left respectively. :confused:

Has anyone else experienced this? Can it be fixed? Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Zeka
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] amrith.28:
which ROM are u using ?

and go contacts ex probably cannot clear the call log. this is an android limitation for 3rd party apps to be able to clear missed calls.

(i use exDialer and have same issue, but there is a solution for exDialer - i use an app called NotiGo which requires root, this app helps exdDialer to clear calls.)

btw, if u miss the swipe to call feature from Samsung Roms, try exDialer - it has this feature.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ZekaPeka:
Hello Amrith,

I'm using the stock (Vodafone) Samsung ROM. Haven't tinkered with device much, just rooted it and upgraded OS to version 2.3.5. That's it.

Seems like a poor decision to make log clearing proprietary to stock apps. Doesn't leave much room for creativity there.

It's not the swype feature that I miss, it's the effortless use of

default phone

number. It seems my (second) regular phone can't be beat when it comes to quick dialing & replies...

Thanks for your reply nonetheless.

Igor
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] redlag:
Use titanium backup to make go contacts ex a system app. it will now clear missed call notifications.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] albagani:
I've try the method using Titanium Backup

it takes forever to finish...

then i reboot my phone and the apps had already gone...

it had been deleted...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] codeknight11:
If you want to make go contacts Ex a system app, follow this process. Titanium backup doesnt work sometimes.

Download root explorer or file manager app from market. After downloading, open root explorer or file manager. Go to sd card or data/app and copy go contacts ex's apk and paste it in system/app and set permissions to

RW-

Reboot and enjoy.

i started i started running mik runny yesterday. I dont know if it was somethign with the rom but. I just updated my prl on dfs and once i went to reboot it wont go past the white htc screen and just keeps bootlooping. I cannot figure it out. Ive wiped everything muiltiple times. my nanadroids do the same thing. New roms too. I even did a factory reset. i dont get it My recovery and fastboot still work though. any other suggestions?

Flashed a new recovery img. i was using twrp2.0 i flashed twrp 1.3 to see if i had any luck with that but no dice. Im downloading the latest RUU now and hopefully that will fix it. Im guessing if it doesnt then something happened to my phone. If im not mistaken flashing the PG86IMG will flash allthe partitions so there would be no reason for it to not work unless of course something happened to the hardware?

Btw Hboot 1.4 and running mikrunny when the bootloop started. Im super confused since it booted fine for me numerous times. The only thing i changed before this reboot was prl and i turned fastboot off earlier. one other thing im downloading RUU_Shooter_S_Sprint_WWE_2.17.651.5 radio 1.00.1216 this isnt going to affect my hboot once flashing right? even if i have to re root thats fine i just dont wanna get stuck in 1.5 prison
[HTC EVO 3D] jwolf1:
Is your phone unlocked and s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
yea. i want to run one of the ruu but not sure which one to run in order to keep my hboot at 1.4 so i can re root.
[HTC EVO 3D] jwolf1:
It depends all on the update an ruin will

Tell u if there's a new. Version
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
TWRP 2.0 has been giving dirty flashes. I had nothing but bad things with it along with other folks. I jumped back to CWM as recovery it has been stable and flashes smooth no dirty flashes.
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
well im kinda stuck now. I tried to run the ruu for my hboot version and on step 11 system it failed to unzip. so now i have s off still but no recovery. Im gonna try to put cwm back on my sd and hope that it flashes and see if i can get some rom to flash. I cant figure this out i feel like a newb again. fml. Does it matter that it wasnt the first time i booted into the rom for it to be a bad flash like that?
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
well i think im officially bricked. I ran an older ruu and it failed to unzip system so after much searching i decided to run one of the latest pg86imgs it fully updated succesfully but still bootloops at the htc screen. So now i have a locked hboot 1.5 with s-off. I gotta get some sleep and see what i can do tommorow. from evreything i have read they say im not bricked if im able to do what i have. but i dont understand why nothing will work.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Sup man your not bricked don't worry or even soft bricked lol.

You should of waited on that updated zip reason it's boot loopin or lockin up is due to the phone never got wiped before the update....

Here is the CWM that will work for you. You need to put the img in your platform tools for ADB. Rename the img file to cwm then plug your phone in while in hboot. Type fastboot flash recovery cwm.img this will put the recovery back on your phone man.

In CWM you can mount your phone and copy a rom you downloaded off xda. Take the rom you downloaded open it up on your computer make a copy of the boot.img place that in your platform tools folder. Now mount your phone using CWM copy the romwhich will put it on your sd card. Now wipe everything. Then while in ADB type : adb reboot bootloader this will take you to hboot again now type fastboot flash boot boot.img this will flash the kernel for you. Now go back into recovery and flash your rom.

You should be good to go man. Let me know if you have any questions.

This should get your phone working...

The good thing about the 3vo is dat its unbrickable just always keep a Rom u ones work an always erase scrub thing / factory reset cutting shortcuts don't work in rooting/dev world

Sent from EPIC JWOLF1 using XDA App
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
Ok so now that i ran that ruu that changed my hboot to 1.5 is that gonna affect how the cwm installs?even though it says s-off. Also for some reason im having trouble running any commands for fastboot. Ive followed a bunch of guides made sure the envinronemtal variables were correct ect, ect but none of the adb commands will work. Maybe its my pc idk.

Since i cant get fastboot to work on my pc do you think i would just be able to reinstall clockworkmod by renaming it on my sd like you do to root in the first place. Then use it to wipe and then try reflashing?
[HTC EVO 3D] jwolf1:
U might have to re unlock it if ur 3vo says locked at the top if not u should have no problem
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
I was able to re run the pg86img with the 1.4 hboot now im back on hboot 1.4 still with soff and doesnt say locked anymore. I also was able to install recovery again but i used twrp 1.3 since none of the download links i could find were good and the ones that were good were disk img. I tried running virus superwipe tool and reflashing a rom again to see if anyhtign changed but it didnt. i really just wish i could get the commands to work to use fastboot and adb.

One thing i just noticed in recovery i went into mounts and system and data were unmounted and cache and sdcard were mounted. Do i need to mount everything and try again or was that the way it should of been?
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
I read about the 1.5 with s-off issue a while back when hboot 1.5 first was released. As long as you have s-off, it doesn't really matter what hboot you have. You'll be able to flash entire ROMs (kernel included) in one step just like you could before your issue arose, because you have s-off. I sadly don't have enough experience with fastboot to be able to give you an easy guide to flashing cwm onto your phone though, but I hope this helps you at least somewhat.

EDIT: I just realized everything I said now doesn't matter since you're not on hboot 1.5 anymore...sorry about that. reaper24 gave you a link to cwm 4.0.1.4 in post #8 in this thread. Stop using TWRP 1.3, there's already a TWRP 2 specifically for EVO 3D and even the latest TWRP has been having issues. CWM has been completely stable for me on every HTC phone I've ever used (Hero CDMA, EVO 4G and now currently the EVO 3D). CWM 4.0.1.4 is in post #8 of this thread as an attachment (it's a small link in between reaper's post and his signature)
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Cwm is the best so far no issues,
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
i have the clockwork mod from your link downloaded. That one i have to flash via cmd right? im having trouble getting any commands to work on either pc. However i did get qtadb to work on one of them im able to run all the same commands from the shell on it correct? nevermind on this i dont think this is made for that i may be wrong though.

If so i can flash recovery img then flash new rom boot img ect. .. i was told i have to do via pc in order to flash the boot partition cause thats whats causing my problem.

I have all the paths specified on my pc and everythign i need in my tools folder but cant cd to anyhting. i have read and read and read im pretty sure i have it all setup right but everytime i cd it says path not specified or not a batch file or soemthing.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If your on windows 7 just go to the folder platform tools hold down the shift key and right click on folder tell it to open a CMD prompt makes it easy.
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
fml lol. all this time. Now i gotta go back a couple post and re read what you said. Thanks i dont now why it wouldnt let me cd to the folder. it shows the same way i typed. Thanks alot hopefully i can get this now.
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
ok im so close yet so far. When trying to flash the recovery img it says

sending 'recovery

okay

writing recovery

failed(remote:not allowed)

i have twrp on here now is there anyway for me to wipe the boot partition and reflash that then my rom. sorry i know im asking questions i have read the answers to i have just read so much over the past 30-40 hours. actually cwm has a format boot option in it right?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Make sure the old recovery isn't still on the sd card like the recovery.img. Then try again. Your close man
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
i know right. I think what it might be is something i saw earlier about since i flashed the PG86IMG and it took revolutionary off my hboot that i no longer have fastboot. I tried to run some other commands and got the same thing. So for the hell of it i tried to run revolutionary from hbootand fastboot and it just waits for device. But then when i reboot the phone it will recognize it, but it doesnt stay long enough to run revolutionary.No i just have to remember which pg86img it was that made my phone just stay at the white screen so i can run revolutionary. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I would slap a recovery on there wipe and then throw the stock rom your using on there then go for the revolutionary...
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
Ok well finnally gotfastboot to work. I had to do HTC unlock method since I would bootloop before revolutionary could run. But the main command I wanted to work still says remote not allowed. I was trying fastboot erase boot. But I get that after the command. I fastboot flash boot.img I've tried more suoerwipes and installed cwm instead of twrp but I'm still getting HTC bootloop.
[HTC EVO 3D] agat63:

Yea I tried making some zips of that to.work but no go. However I bypassed not being able to do any fastboot commands since I couldn't get revolutionary to run. by updating to hboot to 1.5 then did HTC unlock method which allowed me to do the few commands I needed then I reverted my hboot to Eng hboot 1.04.002 which has the extended commands. I can erase boot partition now bit it didn't help. I have tried all kinds of roms wiped evrything via fastboot like five times then flashed siperwipe like five more. Plus formatted each partition one by one like three more times. Then flashed some roms and tried nands nothing will go past HTC screen. PLEASE IF THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT KNOWS WHAT COULD BE CAUSING MY PHONE FROM NOT BOOTING LET ME KNOW. THANKS.
[HTC EVO 3D] mteezey:
if your phone is already running stealRom you already had a recovery on your phone to flash that. why is it that your trying to flash it again? What hboot also?
