[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
I hope this thread hasn't already appeared. I searched on these forums but cant seem to find a similar problem!! SO here goes: I have an issue with the reception on this phone. Incredible S S710e,

Baseband version: 20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M

When the network mode is on GSM/WCDMA auto i seem to lose signal suddenly even in the middle of the city. I got a few suggestions that i should flash a new radio. But while messing around a little i changed the settings to GSM only i suddenly got a very stable and strong connection even in places where i used to get a weak 1. But by doing so i cant use 3G. Only edge. And my phone was bought in india. Its almost stock. Only rooted and unlocked at HTCDEV.com . Any idea why this is?? :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Gsm only supports edge connection. Cdma supports hspa and hsdpa+. Not sure about your whereabouts but Cdma is usually only strong in north America.
[HTC Incredible S] akkin1080:
Yes you are right. Even my phone has same issue. Don't know the reason why. Tried searching lot of forums but no answer.
[HTC Incredible S] InsertDumbNick:
Did u have this issue even before activating 3G?? Because i started noticing signal loss only about a week after buying the phone when i activated 3G. Till then it was fine.

Did you use the right partition size? That sounds like the problem to me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] moav:
Perhaps I don't really know how to partition. I've used the 400mb recovery and partitioned a 1024mb sd folder under the add-recovery->advanced->Partition SD Card

they demanded above 180, which does raise some eyebrows.

[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Hi,

I posted this in the 'Wildfire S general' forum but despite about 600 reads I had zero replies so Im hoping a dev can help.

I have searched for the answer to my question so if I have just missed a posting please direct me to it...

I have CWM 5.0.2.8 on my Wildfire S. This phone uses yaffs2 filesystems.

I can backup and restore via CWM with no problems.

If I backup my phone (yaffs2) and then flash a custom ROM that uses a different type of filesystem (ext3 or ext4) will CWM be able to reformat my phone as yaffs2 as it restores it to its original state??

I have seen various posts, some saying this feature is included in CWM and works, others saying it doesnt.

Has anyone actually done this and if so can you let me know if it works or not with CWM 5.0.2.8.

Otherwise I assume I could try to flash a ROM that uses yaffs2 and then restore but Im reluctant to mess about too much in case I make a fatal bodge that renders my phone either unable to get back to its current state or end up flashing an RUU which (from some research) would maybe relock the bootloader on my phone and make it impossible to re-unlock again via HTCDEV.

Or is there a way to revert ext3/4 back to yaffs2 before a restore takes place, eg some other recovery, Ive seem a recovery that can go from ext3 to ext4 and vice versa but havent found one that can go yaffs2 to ext3/4 and vice versa.

Regards,

Scott
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
I didn't know our phones use yaffs. But to better understand I'll ask. Wtf are you trying to do? Are you trying to run a rom in a non native file system? Or are you trying to restore files from one system to another. And also, you are talking about the sdcard and not any sort of internal memory right? I'm not a dev but I'll sure try to help.
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Im pretty sure it is yaffs2 as the CWM backups have yaffs2 in the filename ansd when I issue a 'mount' command it shows it as yaffs2.

So what I am planning on doing is flashing a custom ROM. I believe that custom ROM's often use ext4.

If I want to revert back to my current ROM (stock HTC - rooted) then can I just restore a CWM backup or will it complain (ie fail) if the filesystem type is different from when the backup was taken.

I read that CWM had a change put in (I forget in which version) that allows it to revert filesystems back to the type they were when the backup was taken but Im not 100% sure on this - hence my question.

If it wont recreate/revert the filesystem back to yaffs2 then I will think about other options to do this, eg flashing a stock ruu etc - but I want to avoid that if possible, I'd prefer to just do a CWM restore.

One last question - when do the filesystems get created, I assume its part of the flashing of a ROM that does it - I cant see it would happen any other time.

Regards,

Scott
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
BTW Im talking about internal filesystems, /system etc.

[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
All the custom roms for the wildfire s are in yaffs2 format if you want to run a rom using ext4 for example you will need to convert yaffs2 to ext4 and edit the boot.img to mount the partitions correctly.

As for restoring a yaffs2 backup cwm will reformat all partitions back to yaffs2 the only way cwm can format it the any other format is by editing the recovery.img mount commands to the format you want to use.
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Thanks Eoghan,

That makes much more sense to me now.

I assume from your reply that custom roms, at least for the wildfire s, dont actually have to create/format the filesystems at all, they just rely on the ones already in place.

One thing im just a bit unclear on, you say

'You will need to convert yaffs2 to ext4 and edit the boot.img to mount the partitions correctly'

Where would I do the convert, can it be done as part of the rom flash/install so I would actually need to alter the rom source code, or would I need to alter the current filesystems via flashing an update file via cwm or by using adb commands.

Im used to IBM's AIX flavour of unix so android is still a bit of an unknown to me.

TIA,

Scott

How to convert yaffs to ext4 ?

Marvel Custom
[HTC Wildfire S] eoghan2t7:
im working on the converters at the moment while building roms/kernels so it might take awhile before i get a converter in place.
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
Hi,

Sorry for the long post - its really me writing down my thoughts but if anyone wants to reply I would be grateful but I dont expect it...

So Ive looked in the boot.img and there is an init.rc that looks to do all the mounts, so I understand that.

The initial yaffs2 filesystems that are defined when the phone is just 'out the box' must just somehow be setup by the HTC install/config process - so Im fine with that.

In recovery.img I see a few scripts and then most other files are symbolic links which link to busybox which in turn links to a binary file called 'recovery. And a few symbolic links actually link directly to the binary recovery.

Now things get hazy for me, I know busybox lives in /system/xbin - so Im unsure how it gets into recovery.img as a symbolic link to the 'recovery' binary. Either its when running the CWM backup that CWM searches for busybox and sets these links up (but why) or perhaps these links are actually all part of the CWM flash - again why?

What does busybox need to be in the recovey.img for, especially as its just a symbolic link to the 'recovery' file. Does CWM actually call busybox (and therefore the 'recovery' file gets called) to do things like format the filesystems.

But I cannot see a command that looks like it would format a yaffs2 filesystem. I can see commands that create and restore a yaffs2 image though but these are linked to 'recovery' and not 'busybox' so its not like CWM is relying on calling busybox at this stage.

Then I wonder, if I do convert everything to ext2 (for example) - CWM backs it up as ext2, then I assume as its backed up as ext2 it restores as ext2 - unless on WFS it just cannot do that, ie CWM is different for every phone it runs on and it just wont do this.

Regards,

Scott

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da pavinator:
Hi, I've been waiting for this phone to release in Canada. And they finally release today.

But I had one of those WTF moments when I looked at the price(s).

I'm with carrier Telus Mobility. Price? $779.99. WTF.

Then I looked at Rogers - $649.99.

Bell Canada. $729.99.

Now. It's clear to say I would rather get the Rogers one, but it doesn't say which model it is for Telus or Rogers online. Bell has the 1.5ghz processor one.

The different looks are messing me up. If you look at Rogers and Bell, the Samsung logo/sign is on top. Rather on the Telus one its at the bottom.

If I were to get this phone in Rogers. Would unlocking it solve my problems?

Would I rather get an unlocked one from Amazon?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppo:
as far as I've heard, the Telus and Bell models are the same. I don't see the listing for the Rogers phone on their site. could you post a link? but chances are it's the same.

where are you in canada? here in Vancouver we have a shop that will work out a Bell contract, but with an international version (what they do is sign you up for a Nexus, then take it as trade-in and give you a Note)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexi250:
Get it on kijiji or craigslist! I bet people are renewing their contract and selling the phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da pavinator:
NVM. I had a completely blind moment. There is no Galaxy Note on their website. I can swear I saw it on bestbuy or something somewhere. It was the Galaxy S II I was looking at. It's just it was rumoured that all 3 would be releasing today.

I'm in Fort McMurray, and well, its kinda too late. I already got it from Bell and had it unlocked by a friend. It works fine for the most part. Probably will flash it with a rom that's clean.

The Kijiji idea would've worked perfectly, if only I didnt live in such a small town. I tried.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gohwh1:
I just got my samsung hd tv adapter. Have some question for those who have it too

1) my screen top and bottom is a bit cut off, how to solve?

2) When i open mkv file using hardware decoder, I can see the subtitles on my phone but can't see the subtitles on tv, but when i change to software decoder i can see both subtitles on tv and phone. How to make subtitles visible on tv using hardware decoder?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] redzion:
Same problem. For me never solved problem..
[Galaxy S II Accessories] diegoms89:
are U using the stock player from samsung??

'cause what you're saying only happens when I use other players, like Mx...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] gohwh1:
I have problem with stock player, my stock player cant display the subtitles of mkv file so I used mx video player with soft decoding. This causes some lag once in a while (not really noticeable) when playing 720p h264 movie.

But it's not an issue. After trying the mhl adapter for another day, I have two more bigger issue :

1) The connection keep get cutting of, keep on and off every few minutes. I thought it's loose cable connection so I place the phone on the table without touching it but the connection still go off and on for about 2 secs every now and then. Both the samsung adapter and hdmi cable is newly brought so it shouldn't be cable issue.

2) My phone get really hot when playing movie and I have to pause it incase of overheating. The temperature go as high as 56 degree after playing around 1hr of movie.

Any solution for this? For the first problem, just read another thread saying going to airplane mode solve the connection problem, haven't try yet though. But is there any other solution other than that? Using stock rom with siyah kernel.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] diegoms89:
hm, strange, mine does the subtitle problem with mx player, not with stock!!

about the loose connection, at least with mine, was the usb connection not fine

the overheat maybe a bug with siyah kernel, i think, cause mine gets a lit bit hotter than normal, but nothing to worry about

sorry couldn't help

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I was slightly surprised to see that both of the guys thought it was too big for a phone, when both of the girls seemed all for it. I still don't get the first guy's opinion that carrying two devices is more practical than one that can fit both bills quite well. Also, the second guy doesn't realize the hypocrisy in his opinion. He says the stylus is just one more thing to carry, one more thing to use, and doesn't like the idea of it; even though it is stored inside the device and you don't need to use it....hmmm? Then he goes to say that he likes carrying two devices around more so than the possibility of having both in one pocket-able design. Doesn't add up in my mind. I don't think I will ever understand the full power of the iSheep.

I think the girls are smart and realize the true potential of this device. They realize that they shouldn't care if somebody thinks their phone is huge, that it is still pocket-able, and it can be a very useful all-in-one device.

Hi, I would like to ask for your help for our study. We created a game, entitled Egg Catcher, for our study/thesis. Our professor told us to post this game online to have an online evaluation, thus, we cant afford to upload it the market because it's a bit expensive for us. So we decided to post it here in the forum.

We kindly ask for your feedback, whether it is good, bad or if the game needs improvement, and also your comments about the game's compatibility issue. As far as I know, the game works well with Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830.

I attached some screenshots of the game such as the Main Menu, the game itself and the highscore. I also attached the apk of the game.

This is for educational purposes only, thank you guys! :)

_____EDITS_____

I tested it using my LG-P690 Optimus Net. :D
[Android Apps and Games] BowlingGuy86:
Great Start!

I checked it out using CDMA Razr XT912. I noticed a couple of issues among the other things that have already been said, (no volume control, posting name FC).

On the Razr;

1. The eggs fall all the way to the bottom of the screen, but, when they break they show up near the top 1/4 of the screen instead of on the "ground" at the bottom...

2. The sound buttons in the main menu, the sound button on the left works to turn off all sound effects and music, but the one on the right (Musical Note) does not work.

3. When opening the application, it goes straight to the high scores board instead of the main menu screen.

4. the rate of eggs dropping increases at a EXTREMELY high rate, this may be the desire of the developer but it seemed that after just a minute there were more eggs dropping than could ever be caught with accelerometer controls. (although contrary to other posts I have seen on this the speed of the accelerometer controls worked very well for me, quick and smooth with the Razr. Differences in manufacturing of each device and the accelerometers used in each could really cause some issues across a wide variety of platforms so a touch option would be a nice choice.)

5. Finally the last thing that I noticed is that if you press your "Home" button while still in a game it will not pause or even stop the music, so you will have to reopen the application from your app drawer to close out the game and stop the music.

I like this concept for a simple children's game and with accelerometer controls it could even be useful to help development of hand eye coordination skills. sadly as stated the wide variety of accelerometers in devices could cause a great variance of control speed, I think this is a really cool class project and hope to see more and more of these types of projects shared!!!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
this needs to be stickied or at least intergrated into tucks instructions i am going to copy and paste instruction that insanemod gave me that worked like a charm so i take no credit just figured it might be useful to someone... :)

First off.. run the root script here http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/

Make sure you have some significant memory left in INTERNAL SDCARD(2 or 3 gigs is fine)

Once rooted install Bionic Safestrap

Link: http://db.tt/D624eHLF

Open Safestrap and click install recovery

Grab the ICS Rom

Link: http://db.tt/k8PmOIyn

Put the Rom on your external sd card

Next grab google apps here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/17726-romalpha-ics4bionic-59902-version-alpha-02-10-2012/

Reboot Phone

When it boots up you'll get a different looking screen tap the menu button( you got 10 seconds or it'll boot up regularly) Menu button(far left)

Scroll down to "safe boot menu" using the volume down button and select with power botton

Select Toggle Safe System

Enable Safe System

Might take awhile don't freak out

Go Back

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Will take awhile don't freak out

Wipe Cache

Wipe Cache Partition

Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache

Go Back to Main SafeStrap Menu

Install zip from sd card

Choose zip from sdcard/External SD Card

And the Rom will be near the bottom labeled

"902-ICS-4.0.3_r1-cm_targa-2012-02-09-04_08"

*note* something i experienced when flashing this rom was it was giving me corrupt file or incomplete or something so what i did was delete it and redownload and trasfer the file directly from download location don't transfer to desktop etc... i believe it was a md5 mismatch and after i tried again it worked great...

don't forget to thank and donate to anyone deserving of it:) again i take no credit for the exploit or the guide just passing it on.. :) if i missed something please let me know..
