How do I delete unwanted backups in twrp??
[Kindle Fire General] CodenameDeadpool:
Go in to your TWRP folder either via file explorer, root explorer, or hooking up to your PC via USB, then go to back ups, then you should see "00000000000", go there, and make sure you delete the right one.

I purchased a N900 on ebay after winning the auction. The N900 arrived on time and all but WiFi won't work. After running some test via terminal I have narrowed it down to hardware issues. The seller would not help at all until I filed a dispute on PayPal.

I quote bellow:

So seems fixed right? Well he wants me to ship back first and then wait until he gets it to send me a new one!

What should I do? Should I escalate to a claim and get my money back and buy another one?
[General Questions and Answers] lazylu:
idk looks likes a scam
[General Questions and Answers] x942:
I filed a claim but it looks like even if they decide I get my money back I still have to send the product back first. Fat good thats going to do. I have to pay shipping again + wait 2 weeks after the decision before getting anything! Not using ebay again.

Im having problems with the app "script manager" on se x10i running on custom ROM (feralabs v4). Is there an alternative for this app? Im trying to install v6 supercharger. Any help would be highly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] freem4n:
before running the script manager, you must install busybox first :)

a simply tutorial video

[General Questions and Answers] greenAlgae:
I used to have problem too in installing v6 supercharger using script manager. I tried different busybox version but still had problems. Finally, I only installed it using terminal emulator. If you want to try it, here's how I did it:

- copy the downloaded v6 script to the root folder of the sdcard and rename it to v6.sh

- open terminal emulator

- type this command:

$ su [enter]

# sh /sdcard/v6.sh [enter]

- that will open v6 interface like usual and you can install it from there.

Only one drawback though, there's no widget that script manager provide to quick check v6 status. If I want to check it, then I have to run the command in the terminal again.
[General Questions and Answers] daniel.b:
Thank you so much. This worked. Im now blazing on my x10i

Hi I have S-On and also have hboot 1.50 ... I want S-Off and hboot 1.40 Please help ASAP! I hate having to flash roms from a computer via fastboot sending recovery... Please help!
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
You can't downgrade once you are 1.50. Flashing isn't bad. You only need to fastboot boot recovery.img if you are changing kernels, and even then there's an app called flash image gui where you can flash the kernel, reboot into recovery and then flash the rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] Beezy504:
You just gonna have to wait for the devs to finish working on the downgrade or to get s-off on 1.5 hboot like me. Been waiting for a long time now.

Well I hear people with s-off 1.5 and I want that so I can downligrade to 1.4 yes it works I've looked.... But I need s-off
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
the people that have s-off and hboot 1.5 already were s-off on 1.4 and then upgraded. updating from 1.4 to 1.5 does not re-lock your NAND
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Speaking of which, is there any improvements to be gained by upgrading the HBoot?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
None whatsoever.

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

for real tho, bro, sorry for being sarcastic but not a whole lot we can do to help you here. you should know there is no way as of now to downgrade your hboot or s-off your existing s-on 1.5....
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
have you not heard of flash image gui? I don't use it as its easier for me to just flash with adb. but definitely grab it from the market.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I agree on that one once you have Hboot 1.5 your stuck with S-ON and HTC dev root method.. No way to downgrade .........................................................

Not a big deal tho if you have a computer and ADB :D

Tho without a computer I don't know how far you will get with rooting....

I have hboot 1.5 S-ON no issues ADB works fine for me :D fastboot boot recovery.img
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I've never used it, but why don't you give flash image GUI a try, as already mentioned? You can flash without a computer.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
I don't think he is rooted yet.......
[HTC EVO 3D] JayDaKissEP:
Dude, did you not read my first reply? You don't need a computer to flash a rom

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
Just received this in the mail, thought I would upload some pics.

Obviously this is being used in the Australian version (Telstra HTC Velocity 4G) and the Battery is advertised for the Vivid/Raider/Holiday

-----------------------

Back of Battery Reads

----------------------

Long Lasting

High capacity Li-ion Battery

BARCODE

RDHT0010020111130 (30 November 2011 maybe)

-----------------------

-----------------------

Front of Battery Reads

-----------------------

For HTC Raider 4G/Holiday/X710E

3.7VDC---3600mAh

Model:BH39100

Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery.

+ usual warning sticker about fire being hot and try not feed it to babies or yourself and try not to crush it with your monster truck or puncture it with a pick axe.

-----------------------

I will be charging it overnight (I sat the battery in the phone for the pics but have not used or charged it yet) and I will let you guys know how it goes :D

It cost US$12 with free postage :rolleyes:

Already I can tell you that the larger back plate is flimsy and will probably unclip 50 times a day, I have ordered several soft cases for the phone and I intend to cut one to fit the new battery hump, that soft case should stop the flimsy case from sliding up. It's also a finger print magnet, but so is the rest of the phone so meh.

Anyway, enjoy the photo's and let me know if you would like some more info.

If anyone is interested in the inside of it, I am happy to pry it open for science.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jul644:
how long dose it last :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
I will let you know how long it lasts when I charge it up tonight, and let it run, do you have a preferred battery monitor you would like me to collect statistics from?

UPDATE: **** it, I popped it in and managed to get it up to 100 percent at work in 1 go, I have reset my batt stats and we shall see how long she lasts :D I'm syncing 2 gmail accounts in push, 1 exchange account in push and my facebook and twitter accounts and leaving wifi and bt on even though bt I only use in the car for a2dp and wifi I use when I am in range of home... so it should be searching all day long :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
Well I'm up to 17 hours and I'm at 57% battery... going from 7PM Australian-DST when I pulled it off the charger after the first charge to what is now 12:24PM , I've kept syncing exchange and gmail, and got about 30 sms messages, made a few calls, used gps for 10 minutes with google maps in car turn by turn, rebooted into recovery and ran a backup, took a few minutes of video footage, drove for around 2 hours using A2DP to stream music to my car using PowerAmp as the player.

So Far the big ones are

44% display

15% cell standby

12% wifi

8% phone idle

6% google maps

4% android OS

4%voice calls

2% PowerAmp

2% com.htc.bgp

2% ADW.Launcher

1% Bluetooth

It seems better than the original battery, usually I charge it in the car when I use GPS and A2DP but I wanted to avoid chargers until I deplete the battery for this test, it doesnt seem to have hammered the batter as much as I thought it would of.

I am in a 3G area, there is no LTE available here yet.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jazzmoe76:
Looks promising. Thank you for posting. I may have to try one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
At about 3pm, the battery percentage started plummeting quickly, its 6pm now and I'm at 8%, I haven't done anything special its just been sitting ticking over some emails and sms's coming in, haven't made any calls or anything, so the dramatic drop in battery is kinda indicating to me that its just a **** battery, I do not forsee much more battery time out of this than the standard battery, infact it might even be worse by the end.

so 50% of the battery lasted 20 hours, and then 42% of the batter left in 3... bleh
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
okay ran completely flat at 7:24

so thats like 24 hours, I dont know if that is good or not :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] formicae:
It's not terribly unusual for a battery to underperform for the first few charge cycles. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet.

My Raider didn't make it through the first few days (understandable for the first day, though, since I was constantly playing with it), but now I regularly find it has 30-50% left 16-18 hours after unplugging it, depending on usage.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
fair enough, I'm taking it through a few power cycles over the week and I'll report my results
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chachin:
makes the phone look UGLY :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
Personally I think the phone looks ugly to begin with lol... I find the Galaxy S2 or even the nexus prettier, but I love the holiday for its technical specifications, if I wanted a fashion accessory, I'd get an iphone... or a bracelet.

Have gone a few days with this, the phone feels too thin when it has the normal battery pack on it now... I find I miss the hump on the back, I also like the feel of the smooth glossy finish against my palm as opposed to the standard metal backing... of course if my phone covers EVER get here from the land of ebay (aka Shangzen, China) this will of course change again :o

The look of the hump on the back has actually really grown on me, and when its on its back on a table its now much easier to pick it up without it slipping in your fingers as you can get your fingers right under it before you lift it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
I did some testing with that batt a while back.. about 8 hours of netflix w/ wifi, bluetooth on.

I like not having to change the battery every day. Though I have to make a case work also.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
battery is working pretty well for me, I'm going to do a full test and see what I can get out of it again now I have worn the battery in.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jmone:
FYI - I'm getting a big jump in time on the stock battery after flashing - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22480315&postcount=167
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
Well, this run I got 1 day 20 hours out of it im guessing cause the last 24 wont last long, which I am impressed by, however the phone does not appear to really register the battery level properly it still spends forever in the top 50 percent ie 1 day 17 hours for the first 50 then it blasts through the last 50 percent in a few hours.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
yea.. I reported that a while ago. Mine stays at 100% for half the day then starts dropping.. once to about 15% it will go quick. haha I cant see to get apps to really show the right info.

These batta are suppose to have a chip in it.. but I dont know how it all works with the apps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
My basic impression with the battery is , YES, it does last longer, however it's impossible to tell how much charge you have left as the phone cannot tell properly how full the battery is :rolleyes:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] chachin:
hi.. where do i get that circle battery theme? thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CasualStarlord:
to get that, you need to have a rooted phone, I used

http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

you pull some files out of your phone (they are different for each rom, so if I gave you mine, they would just break your phone) and upload them to this site, make the changes you want (ie the circle battery indicator) and then this website cooks it into a recovery ZIP file, put that file on your /sdcard directory, reboot intop recovery and flash the zip onto your phone, clear your cache, clear your dalvik cache, then reboot, done :D

let me know if you need more help, basically before you can do this you need to follow the suerguide and have your phone at least rooted and have recovery installed. This is the only way to really change that icon, you can install an app from the market that will give you second battery meter, but yeah it looks crap :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dstech:
I use an app called "Screen Filter" to turn down the screen brightness whenever I'm indoors. This saves my battery tremendously. I see your VIVID Display also kills your battery. I'm getting over 24hrs on the stock battery with the screen brightness set to 50% with the app, but I have autosync and push turned off for all programs. I make a few calls and text about 10-20 times per day. I check facebook and gmail about once every couple of hours. This is pretty stellar with the stock battery. Oh ya, I have the SafPWR Fusion2 but only use it only when taking business trips. It's only 1800mAh but it gets me another day of power.

I'm very tempted to get your battery pack especially since it's so cheap! I'm sure the performance will improve over a few more weeks of use. 2 days of usage with full autosync and exchange sync is pretty impressive!

I'm with tmobile with a rooted, unlocked, running CM7 nexus one.

I love it and have no issues with it, other then me needed to reboot it because of screen issues one a week/month.

Recently tmobile blocked off tzones on the n1. I see this as a chance to upgrade. Somewhat stuck to AWS bands and non tmobile branded phones. 2 strong competitors i found. Price difference and specs.

I'm looking at S710e (incredible S) and the Z710e (Sensation 4g). Z710e cost about $80-100 more then the S710e.

While i was 100% happy with my nexus one. Did what i wanted to do and average battery life, 3g speeds. I like the idea of a possible faster phone, and 4g speeds. Z710e is a dual core so it might be better battery life.

What would be a better upgrade for me? While i dont mind the price difference, i just wanted to know is one phone superior over the other.

Back in the day my mytouch3g was junk compared to the nexus one upgrade. So i'm thinking maybe the s710 is junk VS the Z710e, but not sure if $100 worth it.

Z710e is newer, should be more popular. Both are on CM's list of hackable phones. Let me know what you guy thinks and reason why you want to get one VS the other.
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
From personal experience, having owned both:

The Senation is newer, has a higher-resolution screen, more memory and a slightly better camera. It also has beefier internals and a slightly larger battery. I found the software experience a bit lacking, although there is loads of development for it now with some exceptional ROMs available.

The Incredible S is slightly smaller, with a less pixel-dense (but brighter and better in sunlight) screen and slower internals. I preferred the soft-touch painted finish of the Incredible S to that of the Sensation. While there isn't a lot of development for it, I found the 'stock' software experience much more pleasant on the Inc S. The camera is also ever-so-slightly superior to that on the Senny.

Don't base your decision solely on my judgement, I own quite a few phones though and good ones stick in my mind. The Incredible S is among my favourite HTC devices. There are many people who, conversely, swear by their Sensation.

Try them both out in the flesh if you can, although you may struggle to find an Inc S on display. Also ensure the Z710E supports AWS, I know it does 900/2100 but not sure about 1700.

If on-paper specs are your thing, the Sensation is obviously the better choice.

Best of luck with the decision :)

I'm still using my N1 and wouldn't part with it, even for a free GN. I recently changed from CM7 to MIUI.us and it's given the old chap a new lease of life. It feels like a new device. It's prettier, faster and i haven't had one Touchscreen wonk with it yet. Why not try it yourself?

[General Questions and Answers] freem4n:
I think I will vote for S710e (incredible S), because I now have one, and I like him very much, CM7'S rom, or others that are working well and stable

Z710e (Sensation 4g) with dual-core, but I'm not sure that a very large difference, because S710e also smooth running and lower the price to have him.

Of course, if you do not mind the price difference, I think you can choose Z710e to enjoy the larger screen.
[General Questions and Answers] turtle*:
i overlooked the most common sense upgrade, galaxy nexus.

prices i can get the phones for are

s710e = 350-$375

z710e = $450-480

Galaxy= $560-590

I'm not looking to go with other roms on my N1. Remember if it wasn't for my carrier blocking my internet, i would never even consider an upgrade. I was 90% happy with my n1. Screen issues that was resolved with me rebooting was about the only issue. I love my trackball. I used the nexus S at launch and gave that back.

The cheapest upgrade would be that incredible, gets me 4g speeds. I like that. I do want a galaxy but maybe at a $400 price point.

Do you mean you can't install clockworkmod, or that you're having trouble using it to flash the rom? To install Clockworkmod, just use this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032212

Run the app and install custom recovery, then reboot the phone. The first time you reboot, the custom BootMenu will display. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu and the power button to select an option. Select Boot > Set Default > Normal > Go Back > Reboot System. After the phone has fully booted up, power it off and reboot again. If the custom recovery installed properly, a blue LED on the phone should briefly light up each time the phone reboots (while the Motorola logo is being displayed).

To use the recovery, turn off USB debugging on the phone (Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging), then power off the phone. Press the power button to turn the phone on again, and as soon as the blue LED lights up, press the volume down button. The custom BootMenu will display. Select Recovery > Custom Recovery.
