[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
I tried resetting to check if it worked for me. And it didnt. The remaining battery estimate was reset and hence it estimated more battery life than the real experience. After a week or so the letter was back "to normal": 1 day and a few hours... :( my firmware is 1.0.16.10 though.

Cellphone's battery usually lasts longer when in a carrier with stronger signal. Maybe the signal of your new carrier is stronger than the old one where you stay for the most part of your day.
[Optimus 7 General] jg400:
This is definately true, GiffGaff (O2) has a much stronger signal where I live / work , I couldn't get a signal in our office down south, but now I get 5 bars!

So far I have gone 2 days and 4 hours with our charging and battery life is at 39%
[Optimus 7 General] aptcore:
Do you get that battery life with 3G connection on ALL the time?

Do both carriers provide 3G or not?
[Optimus 7 General] kharma45:
They do yeah.
[Optimus 7 General] Barney909:
True... a phone that is not receiving a strong signal will continually seek a better connection... thus eating up battery.

Setting to a lower band for voice & text will greatly increase battery life.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] plantunes:
Hi.

I'm a happy new owner of a X5.

My only (up until now) problem is that I can't seem to sort how to install the proper drivers so that my netbook with Windows 7 32 bits, recognizes the Ideos as a Android handset.

It sees it as a CD unit!!!

I've tried to solve this with a driver that is foundable on the ideos itself and as it was stated on a older thread...but it doesn't work!

What can I do?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HFZenon:
Are you trying to access the sdcard? In that case have you enabled mass storage mode on your phone?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Thats exact. That CD Drive had software (drivers) on it that you should use to install the drivers for windows 7 to recognize it.

As far as I remember, turn on USB debugging, then it will detect new hardware.. on the dialog select BROWSE FOR FILES (or something like that) and browse to the CD drive that is linked to the IDEOS... then press next, it will say installing drivers..

Then it should be fine.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] plantunes:
No...as I stated before...i've tried to install the drivers that come in that mountable drive inside the X5. But Windows 7 says that those drivers can't be installed!!!

Don't know what to do!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Thundermand:
I have exactly the same problem with Windows 7 64 bit. I wanted to root my phone but Device Manager recognized only the mass storage drives so I wasn't able to install the adb drivers. I ended up rooting U8800 with Vista which perfectly recognized the phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bronxitas:
Debuging mode enabled?

Sent from my ragelis
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Thundermand:
Yes. It wasn't recognized in two different Windows 7 computers but with same settings on Huawei it was properly recognized in Vista.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Jerres:
You could try to install the software that can be found on Huawei's website.

Unfortunately I can't post any links, so I will describe how to get there.

-On Huawei's website, hover your mouse over 'support' in the upper menu bar, then click 'Downloads'.

-In the middle, the 'Manuals' tab is selected, click 'Software'.

-Now look for 'HUAWEI Android Phones USB Driver', probably listed at top.

After installing it, my phone got recognized in Win 7's device list.

Unfortunately I can't approach the SD cards, but that might be a different problem. (I am able to see 2 extra removable storage devices in explorer, but can't open them. A clue anyone?)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ryoupe:
I had the same problem but i installed Ubuntu and it recognized the phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tmp341:
Try Hisuite.Phone will be recognized ;)

Before connecting with phone, do these :

Unknown sources, Usb debugging, mock locations (tick them)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
What, are both Google and Bing blocked by your ISP or something?

Download the XAP to PC.

Dev-unlock the phone (AppHub or ChevronWP7 Labs or WindowBreak or LG registry editor).

Install a XAP deployer (the official SDK, which also includes the unlock tool, has one).

Connect phone to PC and sync with Zune.

Run deployer tool, select the XAP, and install it.

Any further questions on the subject must be accompanied by at least two links to Internet search engine results that should, but for whatever reason did not, contain an answer to that question.

[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ok im freaking out a little, hopping that you fine ppl here at xda can help me agian.:eek:

i had a working rom on my tab, md's alaxandra III witch was my first rom it was great but i decided to check out another with a lil more customization. i did a backup and flashed the new rom.

it was a little twichey didnt run smooth so i decided to revert back to md's rom.

the first backup had an eror, i cant remember exactly what it said something about android media, so i tried an older one.... same thing. it was able to boot after the restore, i could see my custom live wallpaper so the restore somewhat worked but there was a force close window up that would not go away.

so i decided to just whipe and flash original zip for md's ROM. that did not work now im stuck in a bootloop.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!:confused:

how can i fix this my wife will kill me if i brick this lol
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
this isnt looking good... usually i get a fast response
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
when trying to restore i get

error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data

:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
then when it boots i get the application launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.

this will not leave the screen
[Acer Iconia A500] telemike:
Can you get into recovery? Try wiping everything and flashing a fresh ROM like Epiphany
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
yes i tried puting alaxandra III fresh and got stuck in boot loop
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Dont panic YOU ARE NOT BRICKED..

oK FIRST OF STOP THE PANIC ATTACK.. this will likely cause you to miss a step..

1st .. Can you boot into recovery.

if so ..

i suggest .. start from the beginning.. TALK ALL VERIABLES OUT..

Format your SD CARD with a android phone or a sd format utility.. i use the one from pnys website..

re download the rom you wish to flash . To the SD CARD WHILE its in your computer i believe is best..

put the sd card in your computer..

boot into cwm or ra

wipe as usual

format partitions NOT THE sd card

Flash the newly downloaded rom..

reboot recovery .. go back to wipe menu

re wipe. as usual..

Reboot the tablet and set your google account back up. the above will KILL ALL OF YOUR DATA...

THIS IS HOW I Get out of trouble when i toast something.. I ALSO not only backup everytime i take a backup. i try to restore it to be sure its working correctly.. and i push it to my personal ftp site .

good luck...
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ok i will try this thx ill get back....

also why did my backup not work? there would not be an issue if they had worked?
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
after flashing i re wipe??
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
This is something i always do..it insures that the rom is clean and Fresh. sometimes if you do not take this step you will have ghost directories in /sdcard. directories that did not get deleted. why this happens i have NO IDEA..

Im just a average user that follows what i read.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ok it happens so fast i cant read what come after but when i wipedata/factory i get the same

error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data

then it says something else 2 lines i think then it says done, not sure what that means ill try and keep going and see what happens
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
and wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
nope it did not work.

back to the forceclose pop up

i didnt get the set up stuff.straight to the rom. im getting notifications in bottem left like new email and wifi availible. shouldnt i get the set up ie. google account time zones and such?????

what ever that error is, its stuck in the system somehow
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
and one more thing i noticed.... there was a volume error i mentioned in a past post. well when im sitting here stuck with force close pop up, the volume is the only thing i can get access to. i can mute, vol up and down.

everything else is behind the pop up
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20680452&postcount=137

im kinda lost with the sd/ext error.. you might try the above.. i think this is how you rooted to begin with... via your computer thru adb.. or you could ask in the recovery thread . the ra recovery thread talks about a similar issue not sure its the same..

wish i could do more but i would get some clarification before you proceed .

so sorry i cant do more..
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
oh no............. i feel that panic
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hey, trying to put Alex III back in?

Ok, you need to tell me which Recovery are you Using? Thor's CWM? Or RA Revamped?

If you're using CWM, you should go to wipes, and do all the wipes (data, Cache, Dalvik,System if it has it also, not sure if his new version has it or not) Then goto Mounts and format;

1. Format System

2. Format Cache

3. Format Dalvik

4. Format Flexrom

Install Rom.

If you get stuck in animation loop, reboot back to recovery and do wipes only, then reinstall the rom.

If using RA Revamped 3.15,

Wipe;

Data/factory reset (you shouldn't lose any data)

Dalvik

System

If boot animation, go back to RA Recovery

Data/factory reset

Dalvik

I have RA Recovery down to a fine art with this rom.

Should get you hooked up.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
thanks moscow

im past boot loop.

when i wipedata/factory i get the same

error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data

then it says something else 2 lines i think then it says done

and wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]

i flash your rom ( witch by the way i will never stray from again) but i dont get the fresh start up screens to set up time google account ect.....EDIT**i get a home screen with a fc pop up and cant do anything

im no pro but whatever its not removing is what looks like is causing the crap
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
"wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]" is normal, don;t worry about it. But the other error, is corrupted data I believe.

Are you using Thor's CWM Recovery? What version?

or Do you use RA Revamped? What version

It sounds like you have some very corrupted data in there.

If you are using Thor's CWM. And his recovery only;

Here are the steps to completely wipe all internal data. And give it a clean internal system (according to Thor)

Note: Optional Formatting.

If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.

Note, this will format EVERYTHING in internal memory (not ext sd card)

Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage

1. Format System

2. Format Cache

3. Format Dalvik

4. Format Flexrom

After you reboot, I believe it resets back to the defaults.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

Oh, and once you are done, try to install the rom with the normal procedures. It's quite possible the rom on the sd was corrupted, so you may want to re-download it again if you have the same error.

IF you are running RA Revamped Recovery, then you may want to contact Drellisdee at his thread;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459821

He knows the procedures to do the same. I would tell you, but it's a tricky process, and he knows more about his recovery than I do.

One more note, if you have an extra SD card, even a 2gb, I would format that to FAT 32, and also copy a rom to it and use it. (remove all doubt)
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
IM USING THOR'S cwm RECOVERY V5.0.0.0

its not the ROM download because i have already re downloaded it

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Go to Tegraowners.com, and get his latest recovery version. Copy to Ext SD card, and boot to recovery, and install zip from SD. This should give you the options. Then reboot. You probably are running the original CWM.

I can't give you direct links, nor link a file, as it is against XDA rules.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
it still dosent give me a toggle option in backup and restore? i got v5.0.0 rev1.4.2

can i just try to wipe data again and see if new version can erase corrupt data?
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
This is direct from his recovery forum;

"if your data partition gets corrupted you need a REAL format....

here's how to:

go to in recovery enter "Backup and Restore" and click on "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media)"

should say enabled....

then go into "Mounts and Storage" and "format /data"

this will REALLY format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory"

Sorry, but maybe I didn;t exactly say it right. Please check for this option.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ahaa

i now have the most current version and it has the toggle... starting now

fingers crossed:eek:
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
And check your PM, you may have to update to at least 1.5. Not sure. But I know it was in 1.5 and version 1.7. I used the option before.

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Just let it format, and hopefully it will take care of the corrupted data.

Then just install the fresh rom.

(do only the wipes if you get stuck at boot-animation). Then re-install it again

Am hoping it will be good to go.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ok that time the error didnt come up!!!:D:D:D

[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ok i got stuck at boot loop folowing you instructions on your dev thread
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Might have to play with the wipes with CWM, but you have been successful in the past, so confidence level is high ;)

And FYI, boot-loop is different from Animation-loop

Boot-loop, is when the system keeps re-booting over and over.

Animation-loop, is when animation keeps looping (usually with black flashes)

Is important, as it can mean 2 separate issues ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
nope still stuck at boot

also if it means anything the hands in your boot are grainy
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Play with the wipes. Might want to do a normal Format on all BUT system.

I found on RA Recovery, if I left Format System alone the second time, it usually takes.

Hands were always a little grainy. The guy who developed it, had to reduce file size. And that means a reduction in clarity.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ok my bad then yes animation loop....omg i hope i didnt doo all of this for nothing..... well half of what has happened
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No, your original issue is solved. You had corrupted data, caused by the other rom. Now it's a matter of getting this rom back installed. And yes, Alex III is a little quirky on CWM. RA Recovery, and I would already have you up and running.

I guess, I'll have to re-flash CWM, and check the install again. Civato (rom Dev), took a look, and had the same issue, but got it going. Seems to think the issue is with either the new 3.2.1 Flexrom, but I think it's the System install. Acer changed things.

With RA Recovery, several steps are combined into 1, so its a lot quicker in my opinion. The issue, is that it really is a Dev's recovery. Way too many options for the normal user.

Heck, if you did a recovery backup of Alex III after you flashed it the very first time, I would think it would be much easier just to restore it. My guess, is that the corrupted data, messed up the restore when you tried it before. It might be ok to try it again now. Maybe. Worst case, you have to do the complete format again.
[Acer Iconia A500] dr mcknight:
ill try recovery now
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
USe this. Copy to your SD card. Boot to CWM, select install zip from SD.

This is RA Recovery.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
After flashed, and rebooted back to recovery, select

Wipe : ALL data/factory reset

(you will see a few formats)

then

Wipe : Dalvik-cache

Wipe : System

go back and Flash Zip Menu

Choose zip from sdcard

Install

IF you get ani-loop

Wipe : ALL data/factory reset

Wipe " Dalvik-cache

The go back and install rom.

Promise it will work. I do this 30 times each week.

Be careful if you use the touch screen., Do not select things fast. It has issues, just be slow.
