[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] cosmikal:
The phone is definitely reading the SD card, it can access the files and my apps load at start up.

I attempted a couple things. I turned the phone off, took out the SD Card and started it up again, initially the notification wasn't there while it was doing the SD card scan, then it re-appeared again after a duration.

Then I tried doing a factory reset as well as clear cache, this had the same outcome. My next step would be to reinstall the firmware.

Could it mean the SD card is damaged in some way?
[HTC Desire S] bithin2k12:
Dear All,

I was able to send group sms (using my HTC Desire S) earlier. However, after a recent factory reset, I am unable to send sms to more than 10 people at one go !!! I am unable to send it using any other application either (Handcent)...

Please help ...

Bithin

Note: My phone is not rooted, neither I know how to do so!

I keep getting error saying main version is older, and it fails to install so I can't even boot into that particular ROM. Anyone with any ideas?

[HTC EVO 3D] robdeezle:
Ok so I rooted this bad-boy I used the HTC unlock method, upon selection of my ROM audibly was miui I wiped and flashed but I did not flash in fastboot. I flashed in recovery and it actually took, problem is I noticed my signal had reduced to 1x speed. Upon flashing to a sense ROM which is cleanrom3.0 I used it to update prl and profile but didn't help stayed the same. So I called Sprint they tried to work some magic to no avail. I then took it upon myself to go complete stock and rid root. Once the ruu flashed and I booted, I noticed I had 3g I checked prl version number and it was the same as before I went to stock. So i didn't get to happy I still wanted more research info for the cause. I then did a speed test and oh god was it slow. Download was 0.02mb/sec upload was 0.70mb/sec strange that upload was faster. But now I would like help to see what I should do next, Sprint tried to say it was hardware. Remember my phone is brand new just died insurance claim. I was thinking flashing a now ROM but thus time make sure I do it in fastboot first. Advice would be nice?
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I know if your stock sometimes you can get a lemon I had a brand new evo 3d on launch day and the radio part of the phone went bad data sucked and at times wouldn't work... I wasn't rooted.. That was in a week of using the phone....

Another thing is if you know you msl and some of the program codes you could do that reactivate your phone hands free thing it might help you...

I did it back on the EVO back in the day.....

If I remember it was something along the lines of that ##data## edit msl and somewhere in that you could do a reset...

Do this at your own risk tho.... The worst thing that would happen is your phone might not reactivate and you would have to do it again online sprints site...
[HTC EVO 3D] robdeezle:
Yeah sounds about right with the lemon thing, other things are going wrong now that I'm stock. I did the mos thing once before with sprint actually three times before. When I first got it and later when it started tweaking.

[EVO 4G General] andygu3:
Not sure if this is available for the EVO either by development or a launcher or if it's even possible so here's my question.

I got my wife the Transformer Prime for Christmas. It's now running ICS but one thing I really like about the tablet (this is our first tablet) is the ability to touch the edge of the screen and it instantly moves to the next screen. So instead of swiping, all I have to do is touch the edge.

Are there launchers out there or is this something that only tablets can do? I was just wondering if this is available for a rom, a launcher or is it not possible.

Thanks

This is for those who are having trouble changing or adding a boot sound, out those who wish to know how

Required tools:

Root needed -----> rooting guide

Some sort of root browser(i use rom toolbox because it has a root browser built in but there are some free options on the market)

audacity: DOWNLOAD HERE

_____________________________

First get an audio clip of what you want it to be, probably no longer than 5 ish seconds (maker sure its on your computer)

Second download and install audacity (its freeware audio editing software) on your computer, make what ever changes you wish to the audio clip if any

third click file, then click export then name it PowerOn and save it (don't change the format from what the export save window has when it pops up) somewhere where you can find it (like your desktop) click save then another box well pop up just press ok

Next put the audio file you just made (PowerOn.wav) on your phone's sdcard (it may pop up saying permissions well not be copied over just press ok or continue), now open the root browser you chose to install and copy PowerOn.wav and paste it in system\ect (or the ect folder in the root directory) now make sure your media volume is up (I think its media but to be safe turn media and ringer volume up all the way) and reboot

That's it, near the end of the boot animation your sound should play

If you have difficulties let me know and I'll do my best to help you out, buy I have done this several times with out fail

[Motorola Atrix 2] holeshot77:
I just did the OTA update. Worked fine and sustained root. Brought my phone back to the way I like it and then, it said my phone was not connected. Just on WiFi. the 4G was gone(even though we don't have 4G here(Iowa)). So from like 11:30PM - 12:30AM I was without service. Anyone else too? Want to make sure it isn't a problem with the OS or whatever. :)

PS: Verizon is all over Des Moines, IA with LTE... AT&T 3G and EDGE in Des Moines... Stupid Stupid Stupid!! (this was a rant)
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1.18.12:
Hspa + is in design Moines too
[Motorola Atrix 2] Suroky:
same here

It is the same here. Working fine before update. After the recent update, problems with cell signal started all around. The phone works fine if it is static, as it keeps connected to the same cell. But once the movement starts and the phone needs to jump to a different cell, it loses signal.

Doing some research with the "network" app, seems like the phone is no seeing neighbor cells.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cowenby:
No issues after I updated (and sustained root).

And I have 4g just about everywhere here in Atlanta :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
You're right... I browse and text more than I call but it's still noticeable...

However I have had 1 bar of service for the past couple days, now that I'm home I'll see if it still happens.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anthromatt:
No issues here either, and I have been travelling 800 miles by car each week this year for work. I don't ever lose signal...I lose data connectivity sometimes when I go in and out of roaming areas, but that has happened on every Android, CDMA or GSM, that I have ever owned.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kojitabe:
I'm on 2.3.5 and sometimes cell signal is dissapear after some period (3-4 hours on connection).

I doubt to update it to 2.3.6 that it will makes my cell signals even worse.

Could someone enlighten me about update?

[myTouch 4G General] ninobrn99:
I noticed one day that my battery stats wouldn't reset after charging it or a battery pull. If the battery was anywhere above 50% and I did a pull, it would restart showing 100%. It ended up getting to the point that I couldn't use the phone for more than 5 minutes straight because it would die. I've had the phone almost a year, so I didn't think the battery would go out so quickly.

I went to the Tmobile store and they pulled the battery and told me to feel it. There is a hump/rounding that happens to the battery when it is shot or overcharged or something like that.

I got my replacement in yesterday and charged it to 100%, then did a battery calibration this morning at 0430 after I took it off the charger. Here it is 0032 and I have 25% battery life left! Now, I am running Juicy Defender in aggressive mode, so I'm sure that helps quite a bit.

Other than that, I've been running CM7's last nightly (#252 I think), Radio 26.09.04.26, and kernel faux 1.0.7 CFS+ low voltage.a

I wanted to share in case anyone was having similar issues. I also forgot to mention that I got the battery for free and just had to pay for the standard ground shipping. Can't beat that!!

[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
What kind of battery did you get?
[myTouch 4G General] ninobrn99:
It's a stock HTC replacement. I ended up getting close to 32 hours on the first charge.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Wow. That's awesome. I bought two anker 1550 mAh batteries on amazon. $10.87 delivered. Best thing I've ever done.
[myTouch 4G General] ninobrn99:
How long do they usually last? Here's charge #2 so far. The phone when it was new wasn't this great!
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Well, screen on time is the real teller. Usually between 3 and 4 hours. When you see people getting 4 plus, you know their ROM/kernel/tweaks combo is dialed.

To illustrate, I charged and unplugged my phone before bed. When I got up it was at 11h 5m, 100%. But it had been laying there. 10 min after I started using it, it started dropping.
[myTouch 4G General] ninobrn99:
Yeah, I know what you're talking about. That was the worst for me! Surprisingly, im not experiencing that rapid drain yet. I was before the new battery.

I know it's only day two, but for how I use my phone on a regular basis around campus and in my car, im very pleased.
[myTouch 4G General] mmdl1001:
thats cool, ive had mine since the phone came out and still a full days use 5 hours screen on, 18 hours screen off so the total would be 23 hours on moderate use on cm7 nightly
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Very nice. I'm jealous
[myTouch 4G General] alexriio:
My phone does that too. When its above 50% n I reboot it or take off the battery it says 100%..so what does it mean? Do I need new battery?
[myTouch 4G General] ninobrn99:
pinch the battery around the middle and slide your fingers toward the top of it (away from the contacts), then reverse. See if you feel a rounding or slight hump. If you do, then you might be due for one.
[myTouch 4G General] alexriio:
Can't really feel it.can it be something else or only cause of that?.does it have to feel or can the bump be noticeble too
[myTouch 4G General] GazaIan:
Same here, I bought a new battery last week and this new battery is making one hell of a difference. Getting over a day with heavy usage on the new battery (straight Modern Combat 3, Sonic 4 Ep1 and Frontline Commando all day).
[myTouch 4G General] ninobrn99:
I really dont know what to tell you other than take it into a store and see if they can get you a replacement or troubleshoot it for you. I'm not an expert, so I dont want to pass bad information. This just happened to work for me and I thought it would help others. Good luck!

If they do charge you for the battery, try looking into the anker 1550 mAh batteries that estallings15 mentioned. They worked for him.

I highly recommend the 3rd party battery, that has 1800 ( or 1700) mah and is not extended. Fits perfectly and it gives you easy 18 hours with heavy use

What kind of battery are u using?
[myTouch 4G General] evilmonkey145:
Hmm, I think that I may be having the same problem actually. How did you go about telling them about your problem/getting them to replace it? You say that you're running CM7, so you're rooted and installed a custom ROM, which would void the warranty. Did the T-mobile employees give you any hassle with that?

Any chance you could throw us a link? :) I looked around on the forum and found some listed that were on amazon for the 2 x anker batteries + charger, but it was out of stock. :(
[myTouch 4G General] dziridz:
Bad reading of battery charge level.
[myTouch 4G General] theonlyhan:
Get the 3000mha one from ebay; it's only $10-ish with shipping. I charged it fully to 100%. Take it out for a whole day, using data here and there, about 2hr on mp3 on bus, so the volume is fairly high. Using wifi at home sometimes or at school, on the road use data for mostly news and stuff. At the end of the day, the lowest is about 40%. And sometimes, if I don't charge it, and for the next day, I usually get a 20% warning half way through, and the battery dies when I get home. That's 30+hrs on battery. So, worth the value.
[myTouch 4G General] 4Orr:
Thanks for the heads up on this, ninobrn99. I don't notice a bump yet in my Dec. 2010 original battery, but the charging is starting to drop off noticeably.
[myTouch 4G General] evilmonkey145:
I was hoping for a reply from ninobrn99 in regards to T-mobile replacing his/her rooted phone, to determine whether or not I should flash back to stock rom and unroot, but I waited about a couple weeks too long and now my 1 year warranty has passed.

I did a little more research and it turns out that T-mobile considers the battery to be an accessory and it is only supposed to be covered during the first 90 days. Some people have received excellent customer service and have gotten their battery exchanged for free, as Nino in this case has, but it looks like it's luck as to whether you'll get it or not.

So...I ended up buying a 1550 mAh Anker battery on Amazon for around $9 or so. The old deals posted elsewhere on this site regarding that battery were no longer available and I didn't want to have an extended battery.

I compared batteries between the stock and new one, and my old battery was definitely swollen. Everything seems to be running fine and dandy now. Thank you for mentioning the post Ninobrn99!
[myTouch 4G General] ...Awesome...:
Had the same problem called Tmobile and got a free replacement just tell them u woke up with a swollen battery and that u need your phone for work asap :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] -oH-mr_rogers:
so today news broke about the HTC Sensation getting an ICS update "soon". I bought the HTC Vivid the day it came out and I'm coming from a Samsung Captivate. when i had my captivate there was a lot of dev with porting from other phones either the I9000, I896, etc etc. i was wondering since I'm new to HTC i was wondering how hard it is to port roms from other phones i.e. the Sensation to the Vivid?

just kind of food for thought

Link to article: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_sensation_coming_in_ice_white_ics_for_all_sensations-news-3764.php
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
To answer your question, yes, it can be done, but Sense can only be ported to Sense devices. Look at the Inspire, several of its Roms are actually based and ported from the Sensation XL. Certain aspects of each phone would require fixes to get them to work like they came from HTC for the phone they are getting ported to. Trust me, if there is a dev with a Vivid or Raider and they want to give us a port of another HTC phone's Android and Sense versions, they will get is done and you will see it in the Dev section. Once a dev begins work on it they will know soon enough if it will be hard or easy and what will be required for it to work.

Hey, I'm taking a computer auditing course in college, and I've been sort of amazed at the lack of hacker tools on a platform with so many talented developers.

I know we have arp spoofing/poisoning apps, and a couple of scanners like nmap .. but that's about it.

When will android ever see a native version of aircrack, a brute force cracker, or a decent voip sniffer?

It's sort of lame having to get onto a windows system in order to access those tools, and Linux is lacking on mobile devices.

I've had my Desire for a good 18 months now. I'm a relatively medium-light user, so sometimes I can still squeeze two days worth of use out of a single charge. I've also recently flashed my first non-Sense rom (Mildwild 2.X), which has provided a small boost of battery mileage.

Despite this, I've been considering buying a replacement battery (though I have no idea where to buy one in Canada), since I want to stick to with my Desire for at least another year (it does everything I want it to do, and it's quite snappy while doing it too, so why upgrade?).

So how's your battery holding up for you? Do you have a second battery? If not, are you considering purchasing one?
[Desire General] crazy_horse_uk:
Sounds like I've had my Desire a little longer than you, but I wouldn't ever trust it for an overnight trip without my charger. I bought a new battery via Amazon with a higher mA, but it didn't make much difference. I did try the re-charge trick (search on this forum for details), which did make a difference of several hours in my case.

Frankly, I'm just waiting for something better to come along, but so far I've seen nothing I prefer to the Desire.

For me it Depends really on how I use my phone. I Charge ist every Night, and leave with 100 % Battery in the Morning.

When i use it to make some calls, Write Messages and Check the time, i can get up to two and a half day's. With my normal Usage (Surfing the Web on my Way to work, or Flashing roms on the go, i get a half Day.

I Don't have a Second Battery, as i am able to Charge my phone at work or at home, and when i know i'm going to stay Out longer, i use my phone less. So all in all i'm quiet happy with the desire, but could allways be better ;)
[Desire General] Scytheb:
Actually if you are careful (and with a proper kernel) you can get more than double the battery life you got when it was new. For example , I get anywhere from 70 to 110 hours now,depending on talking ,and wifi usage,

but I have every radio option off (data, GPS , wifi, Bluetooth e.t.c.) including sync off which made a difference. I also use flight mode when I go to sleep (which also makes it guilt free to have the phone next to me ), and that's it.

100 hours achieved , on an almost 2 year old battery :p

Of course , when really using the phone , i.e. playing music to the car while using Navigation and talking through a bluetooth headset in between... It's lucky to last 4-6 hours :D

The problem is in technology and materials used. Year 1999 we had 900mAh batteries with 3 row bicolor screens where you could grow a beard between charging cycles. Year 2010 we had 1400mAh batteries with 3.7" screens, 1GHz cpus and plethora of other circuitry. So it has nothing to do with android per se.
