[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
Hi guys, I bought Razr recently and notice that lot of applications are running in the background even when I have not opened those apps. I have installed advanced task killer pro but with no help.. When I kill those apps within 5 secs they start running again.. Apps like whats up, music pblood and glory, almost around 40 apps run in a background. can anybody suggest any way to kill them when dont use it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
Either freeze it using TB, or set them to auto-kill in the default task manager.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
I cant use TB as my phone is not rooted as I did ota update. I have set them to auto kill thru default task manager but still every after 5 secs they start running again..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Spectral1991:
No choice. The only thing you can do is to freeze them. Those apps WILL auto-run. Cause they are built into your ROM. Without rooting your phone, there's nothing much you can do except set it to auto kill.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] slobeatz:
I used root explorer to change vzwlocationagent.apk to vzwlocationagent.bak and haven't had any problems with that program running again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sedariya11:
Then I guess I need to wait for the root as I have updated my phone... Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MBL85:
I've got my Razr rooted but still have the stock rom running. I also noticed all those crapware apps running in the background.

I used the Task Manager app on the stock rom to auto-end all the non essential apps. Seems to have better battery life since. So that's one option if you're not rooted and not running a custom rom.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thomazzanten:
Hi guys,

My phone won't get past the google logo anymore. I can get into bootloader mode, but now it says my phone is locked.

I can't unlock it via the "fastboot oem unlock" command. When I do that, I get a Erase fail. I can get into CWM, but I cannot restore any nandroid or flash an update.zip.

I also can't flash any file with fastboot, when I do I get "write fail". So I think the filesystem is somehow corrupt.

I tried to get into download mode via the Unbrickable Ressurector, but then I get the screen on my phone to unlock the bootloader (which doesn't work).

Anybody got an idea?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirrtydog:
I wanted to downgrade my arc s from .62 to .42 so i can root. I flashed it and after the process finished, i disconnected the phone and it started into a boot loop. I can't do anything now. How to fix this? I tried flahsing it once more but the phone is not recognized. Im afraid that the battery will dry out and afraid that it will brick the phone because when i plug it in to the power suply, doesn't shows any signs of charging.

How can i fix this please? Thanx
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Pull battery out to exit the boot loop.

And then reflash the FW using Flashtool.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirrtydog:
if i pull it out, wont it brick my phone? Thanx
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Why it should brick your device?

How do you put your SIM or microSD in without pulling out the battery? :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Velcis Ribeiro:
You can fix flashing a new kernel, like DoomLord kernel v18.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landis90:
??

Simply pull out battery and reflash the rom to solve...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirrtydog:
I fixed it. I had to flash another firmware because the one i used in the first place didn't work.

Now that im rooted, how can i update to the latest firmware? As i heard, can i do it over the air? Now im .266 and id like on .62.

Thanx
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashid.fairus:
not sure about what happen if you update ota with your rooted fw,but you can update using flashtool,find some fw from dev section..

Sent from my LT18i
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Velcis Ribeiro:
landis, the current firmware that he used should be not compatible with the kernel, some Roms not compatible, then i said to him to flash kernel, like DoomLord kernel, than fixed it...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
You don't know which ROM he wants to flash, he just flashed .42 FW for root and ended up in a boot loop.

He can solve this with my instructions given in the replies, so there is no need to flash a kernel atm.

If you haven't modded some system apps and your BL is locked, OTA should work as well.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirrtydog:
Thanx everyone for your replies. I managed to get out of the boot loop but i am still very confused what am i doing wrong because cyanogenmod doest work. I unlocked the boot loader, rooted, instaled clockwork mod, wiped the datas and caches, instaled from sd card and i always get stuck on that blue cyanogen logo while alternating witht the green press android to begin screen, 4 out of 5 times with unresponsive touchscreen. On time it managed to get to homescreen but briefly because rapidly in changed again to that blue screen loading and after a couple times i saw the cyanogen lock screen but without being able to do anything while looping in that booting or loading sequence with that blue logo screen. Im tired and confused of tryin this over an over again, and now im on .266 firmware and i guess because i have unlocked the bootloader i cant update to .42 ota and i cant find another .42 firmware for arc s that wouldnt get stuck after flashing. Any sugestions ? Thanx guys

Cab anyone recommend a UK sourced HDMI cable which can be used with the special USB slot in the Nook Colour please? Thinking of getting Netflix :D
[Nook Color Accessories] biohazrd51:
From what I recall, previous discussions pretty much ended with

"not possible"

If someone can correct me I'd be extremely pleased.
[Nook Color Accessories] koopakid08:
Nope, Nook doesn't have the hardware to support it.

[Nook Color Accessories] MeatyMcSausage:
Yea, I don't think that's possible, plus the nook is pretty slow when it comes to netflix anyway, just HDMI connect a laptop if you have one, or game console. I would recommend a Dynex wire, cheap, but I've had 4 for the last two months for all of my hd consoles and tv's, no problems and exceptional video quality.
[Nook Color Accessories] TheValk:

http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/

Essentially, it looks like there is a way to get android to write the framebuffer to the USB port, and some converters to get that out as a display, but I do not have anywhere near the skills to get it working and the adapters were prohibitively expensive for the gain.

My verdict is; Possible, but very unlikely.
[Nook Color Accessories] NiHaoMike:
You could get a Raspberry Pi and connect it to your Nook (or any tablet without HDMI) through WiFi. At only $35 or so (assuming you already have a WiFi router to plug it into), it's a very affordable solution. The software side would be tricky. I suppose you could just install Linux and a VNC server on the Raspberry Pi...

For a good streamer. I am using modded atv2 (appletv) it supports netflix w/o anything else, plug and play. I use it everyday and with my NC supporting airplay :).

I have a question about some removed apps from a Gingerbread os. I can't seem to find any real Detailed info on these 8 files below. I want to know what each one is what it does and if they rely on others to be installed, and mostly do they need to be/should they be installed:

Dun.apk

FactoryTest.apk

InputEventApp.apk

JobManager.apk

KeyBoardSlideUpCounter.apk - (self-explanatory, but why?)

Keytracer.apk

Icdtest.apk

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Dun.apk-Dial-Up Networking over Bluetooth. If you plan to tether, do not remove.

FactoryTest.apk-Sprint Factory Test? Removed with no side affects.

InputEventApp.apk-Removed with no side affects.

Jobmanager.apk-Is the stock task manager application.Safe to remove.

KeyBoardSlideUpCounter.apk-Counts the number of times the Keyboard is opened.Not safe to remove.

Keytracer.apk-Traces keys for the multi-touch function.I seen people remove it without problems.I wuld'nt.

Lcdtest.apk-It finds dead pixels on your screen.

SlateTest.apk-No definition available.

I hope this helped you.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FluidDynamic:
Hey guys,

I've had my Prime for a few days... and I get the feeling it's a grower.

I've come from using a Galaxy S II, so I'm not a complete Android novice, but I did have a few questions about using the Prime and ICS in general:

- is there a way to PERMANENTLY set non-cropped wallpaper; the system to set wallpaper natively seems borked to me and setting them with PicSpeed seems to revert :(

- is there a way of waking the Prime from sleep when docked WITHOUT having to use the main power button?

- is there root and alternate ROMs for the Prime yet?

- what are the best cases and screen protectors for the Prime available in the UK?

- is there a longer charge cable available for the Prime?

If there are existing threads that can answer these questions, please let me know...

Thanks :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] teknomar7:
For Roots and ROMs, check the dev forum on this site.

I think there is a root available, but I believe there are no ROMs because the bootloader is still locked / signed. Asus is supposed to release an official bootloader unlocking tool (which will kill your warranty of course) this month. But, we are a week into the month now and still no news on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] regalpimpin:
-Try CropWallpaper from the market for your wallpaper settings woes. It's about as good as it gets without using multi picture live wallpaper. I dont like to use live wallpaper because of the delay/lag that creates.

-In the Settings, then Asus customized settings, there is an option to wake using the keyboard. Essentially any key on the keyboard will wake the prime. But this will use up more battery power as it won't truly sleep.

-Root check the dev section. No roms until unlocked bootloader.

-I'm partial to Skinomi skins for the prime. But you can also check the accessories section for the folio and bag options.

Hi

I was wondering if there was an app with which i can turn off the backlight like when u click on clock app and put on desk clock mode by tapping or few secs before the screen goes off ??

is there way to toggle that ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roukoswarf:
What exactly do you want to do? turn down brightness when on desk clock? that is already done automatically as far as i can tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajansurfer:
AMOLED screens don't have a backlight. Each pixel has it's own light source. That's why the blacks are so black, the screen is actually off in black areas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] khenderick:
The clock just makes everything darker. The GN doesn't have a backlight anyway, as it's a (super) amoled screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Roukoswarf:
AMOLED/OLED screens also burn when left on the same image for a long period, would not recommend using as a desk clock as stated in OP, you will end up with burnt images where your buttons are, and any other static part of screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rgbc:
The are a few brightness toggle widgets available, android comes with one built-in, power control allows customization of the brightness level so that you can go say from Max brightness to min brightness in one tap. Rom Control in the Android Open Kang Project allows for adjusting the brightness, order, and number of navigation bar buttons independent of the overall screen brightness.

When i type numbers at my homescreen the dialer doesn't open. I fixed this by making a shortcut to the dailer.

I know the questions sounds a little newby for you developers. But can you please help me out here?

When I type in numbers at my home screen, Google Search opens, not the dialer. As far as I know only on the stock ROM the dialer opens by default.

I can confirm this behavior on SuperOSR and CyanogenMod.

Why did honeycomb disable to hardware home buttons? I love the hardware home button on my htc flyer tablet but it was disabled when I upgraded to honeycomb and from what I've read this was a google decision not htc. Why remove this functionality. Does ics re-enable this feature?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cttttt:
Among other things, they wanted to do away with fixed position navigation buttons in android devices to allow for better placement of buttons when the screen is rotated or to allow them to disappear completely during a full screen app.

I personally feel there should be at least some sort of hardware buttons, so you're not forced to look at the screen to do everything (not to mention the whole wearing gloves thing), but button less is the new direction.
