No, it is not a dumb question. But since we never got an Odin tar of EI22, not as easy. I am sure one of the DEVs have the pulled kernel, but since you would be using Odin extensively anyway to change kernels, then again to reroot I don't think it would save you much time. I would wait for a custom ROM with all the fixings and flash the new modem in the meantime. I have the flashable here:

What is the advantage of just flashing the EL30 modem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
Let's say I go back to EC05 and update.zip to EI22 and plan to update.zip to EL30. Do I need to flash the GB Kernel.tar in Odin for the keyboard fix and the GPS Fix.zip after the EL30 update?

I'm assuming I would put CWM3.1.1 recovery (is there a newer one?) and su.zip on for rooting after the EL30 has been updated.

Have I said anything wrong? Do we still need the kernel and GPS fixes for EL30?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
People on custom ROMs would prefer to just flash the modem to try it out. Most if not more fixes are already in our custom ROMs so there is no need to get the stock fixes and tolerate stock.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Keyboard fix is in stock already. You would need the gps fix. And yes there is an official CWM 5.0.2.7. ROM Manager even supports the Epic with it now. The rest sounds right.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
Kenny, thanks for the prompt replies. One last question though, the keyboard fix was the kernel that also removed the script that prevented your custom recovery from sticking. I assume we would now have to manually delete that script?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
This is basically a maintenance update so yes you would have to do everything you did in EI22. Since we don't have an EL30 kernel yet you would need to do that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abnovitas:
Hi guys,

I've got a little problem with my official Samsung docking station.

As soon as the battery gets fully charged the displays turns on and won't switch off automatically again, so every night the display is running for several hours, showing the dock clock until I wake up and turn it off.

I'm quite worried about early AMOLED wear-out or burn in issues because of this and am wondering if there is any way to prevent this behavior.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I just thought I would post this as I thought it was quite incredible.

I don't know what HTC's stats are on 'standby time' (which is usually how long a phone will last with no radio gear active) but look at how long my Desire lasted when I took the sim card out :D

View attachment 867477

View attachment 867478

That's 302 hours :)

Just Sayin'...
[Desire General] CheesySeb:
Another thing that I noted was the vast amount of 'awake' time vs 'screen on' time, sometimes lasting hours.

What does android have to do so desperately whilst the screen, radio, wifi, in fact everything is turned off??
[Desire General] stankyou:
Its not Andeoid really. My best bet would be that Go Weather app.

via xda app
[Desire General] CheesySeb:
I'm not entirely convinced that it is, I could uninstall GoWeather or do a /userdata wipe and retry to see if it'll last any longer?
[Desire General] stankyou:
Even if you put it on airplane mode, the apps you have would still try to wake up every now and then to try and refresh themselves. If you have a resource hungry app then it will wake your device to do the task it needs to perform. It may or may not be go weather app but there is something installed on ur phone that is keeping it awake even on standby. That's what I think anyway. :p

via xda app
[Desire General] Ha_Ha Shoes:
Ha ha ha ha...looks about the same as my desire. I got one hour battery life on idle once with 3G off, wifi off and most of my user apps killed.

My phones been charging for the last four hours and it hasn't moved from 75%. It dies in ten minutes If I use the data connection when it's discharging.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] MrKwatz:
Sounds like a pretty terrible thing to have to deal with, hope you eventually get what you paid to receive.

The S/N on the flap matches the System-unit serial number under About Tablet on my tablet
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Krisfone:
Thanks for confirming that, mine is different

My serial number in Settings>About tablet>Status = MP06xxP

On the label inside the SD flap cover on tablet, despatch note, both outer and inner cartons, the serial number reads = MP04xxX

So does this mean that whoever despatched it did a dodgy swap of the SD cover flap on my unit to show a different serial number "to match the purchased unit"?

If so, is this a fraudulent alteration of serial numbers to deceive the customer?

I take a dim view of it if this is what has happened and wonder if I should bring it to Trading Standards Office's attention.

I still can't believe someone would go so far as to alter serial numbers but surely he would know that the correct serial number would be embedded in the About Tablet!!

I certainly will compare serial numbers on all electronic items in their displays whenever possible as it looks like someone has been dodgy in this case!

I just didn't expect it from a very well known dealer although they said on the phone that it was despatched direct from their supplier, who now has several questions to answer. It is illegal to alter serials just as it is to alter car plates.

Thanks for your confirmation.

Kind regards:)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Krisfone:
Update

Hello All,

I phoned the dealer this morning and he said they have forwarded my emails to the supplier and it will take 5 days for them to respond.

I decided this was total dung and phoned HM Govt Trading Standards Office and they said that as the contract is between dealer and me, supplier is irrelevant and that I am entitled to refund forthwith from the dealer as they did not supply the goods that I ordered.

There may be an issue of misconduct as well somewhere in the chain as I cannot imagine the Settings>About tablet>Serial number being different from box, invoice and sticky label on SD flap unless someone actually changed the sticky label or even the SD flap!

Amazing. I am waiting to hear from the dealer and taken plenty of photos to show mismatch, scratches etc. I have asked for a refund as there is no way I will trust this dealer again even if the fault is the supplier's. The dealer should deal with the supplier rather than asking me to wait 5 days for them to pontificate.

Thanks for your patience. I strongly recommend that people check the product serial number in its OS or display before accepting it as genuine. You never know these days, despite this dealer having a good reputation this happened.

Best wishes!:)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Sublime865:
I guess I'm "lucky" that I ordered mine straight from Lenovo Direct and waited 2 months for them to deliver (3 months - Keyboard Folio).

I wish you the best, I would have blown my top if I got scammed like that.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] twospirits:
All I can say is wow. Hopefully you will get what you purchased or a full refund.

wow

TS
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Krisfone:
I am still waiting though!

The dealer has not yet responded to my request for refund. I decided I didn't want a replacement from his dodgy supplier and I have advised my credit card company of the issues.

Out of interest, I searched the internet for serial number fiddling and it turns out that this is very common with Sony PS3. Apparently, scammers repackage cleaned and used PS3's AND alter their serial numbers to resell at new price!

All I can say is that this is the first time I have come across years of online purchases in the UK and it is probably a new innovation that only scam artists can think of.

Check serial number is my new motto!

Kind regards

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntneeC:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to find the colour codes (ie hex, RGB(A) etc) for the Holo themes in Ice Cream Sandwich. I see that from the Android Developers website that they are defined in constants, but I need to get the actual values for use elsewhere. I've been searching like crazy for hours and the best I can do is a page that I can't even show you because I'm still a noob on the forum!

I have some values, but I wanted to match them up to the R.color documentation. Is anyone able to do so for me, or to either refer me to a reference that I've not found yet, or even tell me how to find them myself). Please?

Screenshots and Photoshop?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punshkin:
i dont know if they are written down somewhere but you could take screenshots and open them in MS Paint (or other graphic software) and get the color values with the color picker tool
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntneeC:
I did think that, but there are a few problems with it:

Most of the colours appear to use RGBA values, and I'll only be able to get the RGB from that method. Also, the RGB values will be incorrect as the alpha will make it appear to be a different colour

I need to match it up to the Android R.color constant names, and I don't know what is used for what

I can't guarantee that I'll be able to get shots of every colour from the theme

Apologies for not being able to post a link yet, but if you Google "Android R.color" you should see a link to the Android Developers Reference for that class where you can see the names and the constant value. However, it has things like this:

Here you go !

Here you go. Got the colour code on mspaint using a screenshot on my phone. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntneeC:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orphamiel:
Its the rgb codes(49,182,231). (a) is 255
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntneeC:
Right, but as I've already pointed out above, the colour codes in ICS appear to include an alpha channel so screenshotting doesn't give the actual colour codes that we're looking for
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orphamiel:
I can't quite help you with that as I've completely no experience in colour codes and the like but however, i tried setting up the colour, which i mentioned earlier, on my phone and from comparison it does look extremely similar. Good luck on your search if you do need the exact code :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntneeC:
Theoretically it'll look the same but if that colour is subject to an alpha channel then it'll look different on differently coloured backgrounds. Besides, I don't need the blue, I need the whole theme and to match the colours to the constants. Anyone can screenshot the phone and inspect the colours in a photo editor ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orphamiel:
I'm not very experienced in this but i'm sure that having root access and inspecting the colours of one of the image files used in the theme would solve your problem. Or maybe the colour code would be embedded in the system files as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntneeC:
No, you can't get alpha channels from inspecting in Photoshop, for example. You cannot do it. You need to be able to read values from the code. Android just gives you constants to use but I'm yet to find a way to get from these constants to the actual colour codes.

Can we drop the idea if inspecting a colour, please? It won't work to the level I need

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntneeC:
Interesting. Those values look similar to ones I found before, but they're not the same. I made the assumption previously that the first two characters are the alpha. Is that correct? So, for example, I had these values before and my interpretation in RGBa:

#FFC8C8C8 RGBA(200,200,200,1)

#66FFFFFF RGBA(255,255,255,0.4)

#48FFFF00 RGBA(255,255,0,0.28)

If so then that's a result! Thanks, as now not only do I have the colours but I also have the names, which makes them useful for CSS :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vrayhem:
I have had this issue for a very long time and could not find a lasting and solid solution. After researching the problem for a few weeks I found a solution that worked for me, finally.

The issue seems to have triggered when I used the Titanium Backup Pro Market tools to unlink and link apps to my market account and system apps were added by accident. This should work with any app that can link and unlink apps to and from the Market.

Here is the step-by-step solution for TB Pro:

1) Go to Market Tools -> Market Doctor and Unlink all User & System apps.

2) Reboot device.

3) Open any Root Explorer or Browser and locate and delete the file "market_assets.db" in "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases".

4) Reboot device.

5) Go to TB Pro and to Market Tools -> Market Doctor -> User Apps and link all the User Apps that you installed on your device from the Android Market. Make sure that no System App is linked.

6) Reboot device.

Then the apps you have linked to your account will appear again in Your Apps of the Market after a few minutes. If they do not then install a new free app or a free app that you had previously installed and uninstalled and your apps should appear soon.

In my case I had used all proposed solutions with no luck and this was the only solid solution. I used TB Pro and Root Browser Lite to do this. You could probably use MyBackup for free (30 days trial) to do the same process but if you had this issues chances are that you already have an app that can unlink and link apps from the market.

I hope this sorts out your issue too :)

Edit 6 FEB 2012: This solution is temporary unfortunately. The cause of the problem is linking apps to the market that were not downloaded from the market or linking to the market from a backup that is quite old/corrupted. To sort this out there is an app now and you can find it from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22178757&postcount=162

It is called Market Fixer and it detects market links that are problematic and removes them to restore the My Apps functionality in the Market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
Cool thanks, I had already found that solution by myself and it works fine, but doesn't survive a hard reset, meaning everytime I flash a new rom with full wipe the problem comes back and I have to go through this again...

I tried to use another account with a full wipe and no problem, so my account must be screwed for life.

Thanks titanium :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Latoc:
Also, with market enabler I can see paid apps and even install previous bought apps but cannot buy anything.

With 2 accounts setup at the same time, I can mysteriously buy apps !!!

If I delete the second account, bam, I can't buy anymore.

Looks like the simple presence of a "clean" account sorts things out for the corrupted one...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vrayhem:
This hasn't occurred to me at any point. I can always purchase apps from the Market.

Strange ...

I could not find the "maket_assets.db" in the indicated folder.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vrayhem:
This is strange. Are you looking in the internal SD card? What rom are you running and which version of the Market you have installed?

I am using Root Explorer. From "/" i navigate to "/data/data/com.android.vending/".

At that folder is see these sub-folders:

lib

But there is no databases sub-folder.

I am using DarkyROM 10.4.2 and Market version is 3.4.4.

But thank you very much for your job.

@ledbrv

What root browser to you use?

If it is ES Explorer you can't search file in root system with it.

Choose "Root Browser Lite"

Bye
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vrayhem:
You are missing the folders databases and shared_prefs then. What happens if you try to create an empty folder there called databases?

Alternatively you can search for the file "market_assets.db" to see where it is saved at. Root browser lite has both search and create new folder functions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ledbrv:
I use Root Explorer.

I created the "databases" folder under /data/data/com.android.vending/ and rebooted. Nothing happened. No files appeared inside databases. Then I "Force stop" and "Clear data" of Market app and reboot. After that databases folder disappears again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vrayhem:
This can only be explained by the fact that you are using a custom rom which is probably based on a previous stock rom than the one we have or it has been modified to affect that part of the market.

I also had an Android Market account corruption where apps I never purchased or never downloaded appeared in my apps when I logged into my account on the PC. Some of those apps would appear under my Apps in the Market for a long time. What I did was flash the latest rom XLA4 with Mobile Odin Pro (to not lose root), flash the CF root kernel to restore CWM functionality, wipe internal sd card/apps/data/factory reset/dalvik cache, install all the apps I wanted through the Android Market account on my PC and then follow the procedure I mention in my first post here. Now (today in fact) I checked my Android Market account online and all the "fake" apps are gone, the duplicates are gone and everything is in place. Also the Market on my phone is working great with no issues and all the apps I linked are there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mich0111:
Hi,

One day after the changes, the market on my phone is still working great with no issues.

Just a point, system applications are considered not installed.

It seems to me that before this kind of application was not in the list of installed applications on the market or unable to uninstall.

Could you tell me what you think about and if I have to do something?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vrayhem:
System applications should not appear in your apps unless you updated an app like Youtube or Maps at some point, so that it will give you the option to uninstall it. You probably added them with TB Pro when you linked the apps to the market as part of the solution. I haven't added them in my case and added only the apps I have installed/bought from the market myself. Therefore, they are not in the Not Installed section.

Some apps indeed do not have the option to be uninstalled (even apps I have bought myself) but it is rare and you can still uninstall them using TB Pro.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] quick_:
Tried this just now on a Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.2 stock rom. (Should this work on this phone too?)

Only thing I did different is I left a couple system apps (like maps etc..) checked during the restore market links in Titanium Backup...

Could this be the problem? Also after deleting the database file and rebooting, I spent about 10+ mins deselecting system and amazon apps from the restore market links, before actually running it. Did it repopulate the database before ran the fix links option and screw things up?

I tried also clearing market data to see if that would help but i did this after this fix did not work. It didn't help either.
