[Motorola Droid RAZR] flashman2002:
I don't see this being an issue. Apple has had no removable battery and their phones are just fine. And the maxx is great and still thin with this large battery. Look at all the extended batteries where it creates a massive hump.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Yeah that was just a stupid thread. The maxx is still really thin and has a great battery and as time goes on the battery technology will get much better.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] polaris441:
The latest sony xperia s also having nonremovable battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] keeb119:
I would have to say a non removable battery helps make the Device slimmer cuz they can have odd shaped batteries and not have to worry. And not having to worry about a battery door. Though I hope it isn't the future, at least with current battery tech.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] soccerdude612:
so this happened a while back and i turn on my phone and it was stuck on the boot logo i can still get into clockwork mod recovery but i don't know how to recover my phone or how to install another rom can someone please provide help for this problem:(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
This should do it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] soccerdude612:
thanks I'm gonna try it i really hopes this works :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Well, if you can still get to recovery, that means you can get to the hboot menu, which is where this install package will start loading itself. Just make sure you have a full battery.

You said you were going to install a rom, so the idea of data recovery seems like a much less important thing against just getting it working. This will restore you to stock, stock recovery and all.

From here, you can just temp root it and install clockworkmod through rom manager, then you have a stock phone with the latest custom (and official) recovery.

If you are already s-off (which you obviously must be) you won't lose that, and still will be at the end of it all.

I am putting together a better guide on how to do this with picture and video, it's all taken just needs to be put together and uploaded, so in the future it will be even easier.

After you get clockworkmod installed, I would recommend you do a backup and copy that to your computer, so you have something to restore in the future.

Since you could still get to clockworkmod, you could have installed a clockworkmod backup if you had one - I didn't ask, because it seemed like throwing you a solution in the time I had was better then back and forth - so consider doing this for the future.

I also have a htc mytouch4g that when you press the power button, the lcd comes on for 10 seconds vibrates then turns off, then turns back on, over and over again..

I can get into the recovery options by holding down the vol button but when I press factory reset, it does what I mention above..

Will then help, me also, I don't have the slide just the mytouch4g, wil this work for me as well.

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention, in the recovery options, it says

GLACIER PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT- 0.86.0000

MICCROP- 0429

and some other stuff as well, I'm mentioning this because my phone says s-on, not s-off, does this matter??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
No clue - maybe?

Find the appropriate software packages in the right forums and give it a try, but see what the people who actually have your phone have to say first...

I've been noticing sudden abnormal battery drops in my phone after a restart. Any clue what could be causing this? Screenshots attached...

Below are my kernel and firmware details...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
You may need to calibrate the battery as this really should not be happening, it will always drop a bit after rebooting but not too much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
You can safely ignore this incorrect advice.

If you notice a sudden drop like that, just forget about it and carry on enjoying your phone. You'll then notice a gradual increase in reported battery level.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shyam2010:
Just switch off your mobile...and take off the battery for 5 min and put it back...and reboot...this is what i have done...when it has sleep issues...and...the problems gone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mansoorahmad41:
Same problem with me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
will you ever go and **** off and stop trolling what i am saying is correct, i had the same issue and after calibrating my battery the problem was resolved.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonesWTF:
I'd just like to say you're both right. Calibrating your battery will help, but if this does happen again just ignore it. Your battery level will go back up. Just find the nearest iFan and tell them your phone charges itself :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I'd love to hear how you calibrated your battery, considering such a thing is not possible on this phone.

Oh, and so you know, if you're going to post incorrect information, of course I'm going to correct you (that's not trolling btw). So what if we've bumped into each other twice in two days, if you're going to post nonsense like this, of course I'm going to respond

:cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
No, what you are saying is not correct. If you think you are correct, please show me the interface in the fuel gauge driver that is used to load history data into the fuel gauge chip.

I guarantee you that you will not find any such interface.

Our fuel gauge (MAX17042) does NOT need calibration - see the datasheet for its predecessor, the MAX17040. While the 17042 has some features that, if enabled, could require calibration cycles, these features are NOT enabled in any Gingerbread kernel, and at least one person received correspondence from Samsung that the GS2 does not even have the required hardware support for these extended features.

http://www.maxim-ic.com/datasheet/index.mvp/id/6621

"Unlike traditional fuel gauges, the ModelGauge algorithm eliminates the need for battery relearn cycles and an external current-sense resistor"

There is no need to EVER perform any sort of battery calibration technique on our fuel gauge, other than this simple technique:

WAIT - your state of charge estimate will converge towards truth over time if anything throws it off. Rebooting on low battery is one of the few known cases where the estimate gets thrown off temporarily, and the tradeoff for having this one corner case is that we never need to calibrate our fuel gauge.

Edit: FYI, if you want to be pedantic - I am fully aware that the MAX17042 functionality is built into the MAX8997, just like the MAX17040 functionality of the Galaxy S series was built into the MAX8998. However it's well documented that this built-in function is identical to standalone 17040/17042 ICs.

bad news i'm affraid..

Hello chiefs,

I'm affraid i have some bad news for the OP and others who are facing this issue.

I had it as well (and still do from what the looks of it) and it got so bad eventually that i had to send it to the shop. they replaced the headset (donno what that has to do with anything) and it has worked for a while, until tonight. i have no clue what's going on but if this keeps up i'm gonna see if i can replace this for another phone. it's getting really annoying up in hea'..

Just my two cents..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatangaChanga:
This is another bothering issue that I find with GS2.

I would rather have a phone that needs callibration instead of a phone that doesn't but that shows "false" information regarding the battery charge.

greatly improved battery life with ICS

I updated to the leaked Samsung ICS LPH ROM and got as much as 21 hours of battery life! So give it a try or wait till Samsung officially releases ICS on 15the March.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiM:

Get on to a custom ROM mate :-)
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
To outline my situation, I have installed CWM to my phone, and flashed version 2.5.1.2 of Galaxy S i9000 (but the recovery boot doesn't show as CWM) on a Samsung InFuse 4G (this part I managed to find by scouring the forums) with Firmware version 2.2.1, Kernel 2.6.32.9, with Build FROYO.UCKH1. This is as far as I have gotten because I cannot seem to get a backup of my phone's ROM made. So, my question is can someone explain (without jargon, I haven't quite learned it yet) in simple steps how to resolve this issue and help me continue my way to flashing a custom ROM? I've checked and read so many other guides, but they are confusing because the steps aren't (sad to say) dumbed down for me. Here's an example of what I read:

1: dl CWM (actually had to go look this up and figure out what it was)

2: flash CWM (my phone model wasn't on the list, but after an extensive search found out that I could use the Galaxy S i9000 [supposedly])

3: boot into CWM Recovery (can't do it, for some reason it won't load on my phone.)

4: perform backup with CWM (as before, can't do it, read I could use Titanium backup but no depth was given)

5: dl a rom and place it on your sd card (this one is understood, short and to the point)

6: boot into CWM and flash rom

Unfortunately, when I start out on a new OS (already owning Windows and getting good at Linux) I tend to not even understand these so-called "Dummies Guides." I need something filled with minimal jargon that is short and sweet. Any information would be helpful :)

Also, I would like to know the likelihood of bricking my phone (based off of its specs) if it is possible to find out...
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
I'm a little bit confused here. How come you've flashed an i9000 (Galaxy S) firmware onto an Infuse? I think we can work out your backup problems though :)
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
I mean that I flashed the Galaxy S i9000 version of CWM Recovery to my phone because there wasn't an InFuse option. (according to one thread, it said that the i9000 version was compatible with the InFuse)

However, I flashed the Recovery, but when I booted into recovery mode, I was still in the stock recovery. Any explanation for this and everything else?

I don't really know anything about the Android system yet, but I hope to be good enough to become a developer one day.
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Gotcha. Sounds like the recovery hasn't flashed properly. Did you have the phone rooted before flashing the recovery?

Here is an awesome thread with video guides on just about everything you could need. Here is another. I take it you've already followed at least one of these to get the recovery flashed, so it might pay to try the 3E recovery instead and see if that works.

You may need to go right back to stock and start over. If you do, AdamOutler has got you covered right here.

I'll stay subscribed in case you need anything else, best of luck mate :)
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
My phone was rooted with SuperOneClick. Superuser was still intact. I read on a thread that the CWM Recovery could "fake flash" and that it would still be accessible by selecting "boot into recovery" but it doesn't show.

It says 3E in my recovery mode, is that the modified or is it actually stock?

I downloaded CWM from the market (method 2) but for some reason have update.zip on my phone (method 1). Any explanation? I don't exactly remember downloading a .zip file...
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
It may have 'fake flashed' and not worked at all. Both stock and modified recovery will say 3E, the difference is in the version numbers although I can't picture them off the top of my head. If CWM had worked, you would not be seeing 3E, you would see the typical array of CWM options. The modified 3E does not give you the same options CWM does, it just gives you the option to flash an 'unsigned' image from Recovery.

I have never had any luck with ROM Manager personally, although a lot of people swear by it. I found it especially flaky flashing recoveries to any device, very hit-and-miss. I personally prefer, and recommend, flashing recoveries manually via ADB. A little trickier, but a lot more trustworthy.

That said, try flashing recovery through RM again before taking any further steps. Flashing a recovery over a recovery won't hurt :)
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
I've tried three separate times to install the CWM recovery, but all were unsuccessful. What's this about ADB? I remember seeing the ADB Daemon in the SuperOneClick rooting process. And how tricky is it exactly, does it require code?

I have the Titanium Backup app on my phone, and I have backed up all the system and app data, but they are all separate files instead of a single (what, .md5?) file. I remember reading another thread that said you could back up a ROM via TB but I can't find a back up ROM option. Is there a particular way to do this or do I have to have the Premium/Pro version of TB? Or have I pretty much done all I can do with TB?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
ADB is a command-line interface between your PC and your phone. You enable USB debugging and connect the phone via USB to the computer. Once you have the correct drivers installed, you can then use ADB (part of the Android SDK available for download) to send commands to your phone, as well as push and pull files. This requires full root, which you already have.

For example you can grab the recovery.img for CWN on the Infuse and tell ADB to 'flash recovery recovery.img' and actually ensure it flashes.

There are some excellent ADB tutorials floating around, this one in particular got me started. Make sure you do a bit of reading first though: the wrong command can royally screw you.

After you're familiar, you should be able to use ADB to push a recovery to your phone, whether it be unsecured 3E, or CWM.

I'll stay subscribed for any queries you may have :)
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
How close is the ADB interface to other command-line interfaces like Linux or Windows? I use both operating systems on my laptop and I have familiarized myself with both of them (mostly). What am I supposed to be expecting when I use it? Also, I can't seem to find the recovery.img file, what folder would that be under?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Don't know about Linux, but ADB works through a Windows command prompt so its pretty much the same. You will need to have ADB, Fastboot plus whatever you wish to flash (recovery.img) in a 'working' directory, then run a command prompt from that directory.

You will probably need to download the recovery.img file.from XDA. It may be zipped up (they usually are).
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
I've successfully got ADB started in the command prompt (not that bad :]) but when I try to pull the directory map from my phone, it says: remote object "xxxxxxxxx" does not exist. And what's this about Fastboot? Edit: Did a bootloader command test, worked just fine. No success on pulling directory

Command I used: "adb pull -s xxxxxxxxxxx C:\"
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
I don't think that's the correct format to pull directory structure. I'll have to read up on that one :-)

Fastboot is another tool you can use to flash bootloaders, radios, recoveries etc through the command prompt.
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
You're right, tried using the <remote> variable as a file instead of the device serial. Typed:

adb pull .. files

prompt skitzed out after that. I know it won't damage anything since it's a copy procedure but I'm looking for the file and it's not there. it said it's pulling everything after skipping "special files"

Edit: It just finished, said it couldn't create the file because for some reason it was trying to copy the files from the phone to the phone
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Yeah, you'll have to give it a target directory, I think it's like this '.\sdcard' to write them to the SD card?
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
If that's the case, then how do I make the file copy to my HDD? The drive doesn't show up on my computer (does it)?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
I'm sure that with the correct command, you will be able to pull the structure to your hard drive. I'm not sure if it's .\C:/ or not, I'll have a look when I'm on a proper rig and can do a proper search :-)
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
Thanks! You've been great so far :D

[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
Is there perhaps any way to perform a ROM backup with ADB?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Ooh good question. I don't think so, but I'm not sure. I know you can pull directories like /system/ and whatnot, but as for repackaging them into a working backup, that may be a bit more involved. I would use ADB to.push a working CWM and do it that way, but it sounds.like you're a bit better at the command-line stuff than I so you may be able to work it!
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
Well, I've been messing with the MS DOS since I was 12, so I learn command-line really quick now :) it just takes a point in the right direction. Where can I find just the recovery? Will it be an .img or a .apk? Thanks for all the help!

Edit: Nevermind, found the recovery file on CWM's site :D

Wait... I've checked this before. These don't look like .img files
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Probably explains why you picked it up so quickly :-) the recovery you will find in one of the threads in the Infuse forum. It will either be a .zip, or a .img. Apks are Android Apps. They're really just glorified zips though :-)

Sorry should've been a little clearer :)

- Enable USB debugging on phone under Application Settings

- Plug into PC

- Run .bat on PC

You don't have to run anything on your phone. This is an automated installer which uses ADB and Fastboot, but does all the commands for you. You just start the batch file, sit back and watch :)

[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Hah, no dramas buddy. I don't know the ins and outs of Development, but I have had my fair share of phones and I'm forever flashing stuff, so I can helpa few people out along the way :)

Yell out if you get stuck or need anything else. I'll dig you up a CWM recovery now.

EDIT: Got it. From a thread in the Infuse Development section:

Instructions (Method 1):

1) Place the zip file on your INTERNAL SD card and rename it "update.zip".

2) Boot into modded 3e recovery and choose "Reinstall Packages". You may have to do this twice the first time.

The 'modded 3e recovery' is what I gave you with the .bat. Once it's installed, boot your phone to Android, mount USB storage and place the attached .zip file on your internal SD. This is not the SD you physically install into the phone, rather the Infuses internal storage area. It will be the second of the two drive letters that show up in My Computer.
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
I ran the batch, and it said that it couldn't stop the ADB server and it seems stuck on a bit of gibberish with a colon at the end. I can type in it. Is it done...?

[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Run the batch with Admin privilieges?
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
Uh... o-o Nope...
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Close out (won't hurt) and right-click on the .bat icon, then select 'run as administrator' option (I'm assuming you're on Vista/7). You'll get a UAC prompt, hit yes then continue as normal.
[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
It's still giving me options, 1 2 or 3 in freaky characters that you only find using Alt codes

Now if I'm going to install a custom ROM, do I need to have a custom kernel first or is it possible to keep the stock kernel?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Congrats!

I rarely play around with kernels. Stock kernel will work fine with most things. A lot of custom ROMs ship with their own kernels if it (stock) doesn't, so you can just keep it as it comes. No need to flash one first.

If you want to go back to complete stock (including kernel), you'll find ODIN to be your friend there :)
