[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirgal2002:
I was looking at Googles API lists and found that you can get information on the battery, but the resulting information is in relation to the percentage value that the OS is seeing for the battery. Are there any API's (published or unpublished) that would allow me to determine the actual mAh remaining (plus capacity, voltage, etc) of the battery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibiru:
Hmmm i'm waiting for this answer too..coz many fake battery now sell in ebay.

I want to safely using replacement battery

"Battery calibration", not sure if it's on the Market, I got it with a ROM, I could extract it for you, but I think it needs root...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetinKale38:
You can let it calculate with battery monitor widget. It isnt the exact value but +-20.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nirgal2002:
Thanks. I'll take a look at it. I assume that it requires you to monitor for a while to determine the mAh?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawke591:
I've been using the "stable" cm7.1 release only to find out that its not so stable. I had more stability with the nightlies builds. Im looking for one with good stability and also battery life while being paired with tiamat 3.3.7. If possible please let me know which setup would be the best and if any radios or anything need to be changed. Thanks.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bds bamrah:
i managed to install 2nd init ver 2.0

bt whenever i try to make backup of my current rom..

it says problem backing up system,problm backing up data,problem backing up devtree..

why this is happening??any idea?

i want to install cm7.1

is it because of less free space on sd card?

how much space does a normal backup take????
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeonardoJegigzem:
I don't know the reason for why you can't, in my case works... anyway you can flash the stock firmware with RSD if you wanna back to stock after flashing CM7
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejstubbs:
Space required for a CWM nandroid backup varies according to what you have installed. On my still-to-be commissioned Defy+ with almost no Market apps installed, no e-mail accounts configured and no SMS messages sent or received the last backup took a bit over 300MB. On my green lens Defy with more Market apps installed than I can actually remember, two live e-mail accounts and a bucketload of SMS messages the last backup took nearly 700MB.

If you have ~1GB available on your sd card then you should be able to make a full nandroid.

If it's not a space issue then you may be unlucky enough to have an sd card which doesn't work well with the phone (eg see this thread) or maybe it just needs reformatting (copy the data off to a PC first!)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bds bamrah:
Did it:))

It ws a matter of space..i freed my sd card.and backup is created nw..it ws of 1 gb...

Nw abt to install cm7.1 and gapps..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bds bamrah:
just installed cm7.1

it looks great

also installed gapps

everything is fine

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusv45:
I have been on cm7 and its been rock soild. Im wondering if the newest cm9 nightlys r ready for daily use? Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Short answer: No.

Long answer: NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Honestly "daily use" is a matter of preference. Why not search around the forums to see other peoples experiences, bugs, and even backup your current setup and flash it yourself to try.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
If you accept anything less than "rock solid" then yes, go ahead and have fun with CM9.

It's good to play with but up to this point, no reason to replace Cm7
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanternoil:
I use cm9 for daily use, but there are issues. I use my nook as my mail computer for a few of my classes, but many games have issues that make them a bear to use. Some apps load as if on a phone while others load as if on a tablet. Battery life isn't as good and some parts aren't particularly stable. CM9 has perfect keyboard mapping for my bluetooth keyboard and all of my apps i use for school work fine, so I'm happy with it. Basically, it's ready for stable use if you're not using it for too much entertainment in my opinion.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anniraff:
Why not dual-boot both for best of all possible worlds? I've been using Racks triple boot off SD card for weeks now with good results from both CM7 and interesting fiddlings with CM9. And always with the stock B&N on emcc to fall back on.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherZero:
How much space does the CM7 and CM9 partitions take on the SD? I need all the space I can get on my 16gb SD...

MY CM7 is really sluggish running from the emmc at the moment so I'm not sure if I should swith ROM or just reinstall everything.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anniraff:
Taken from Easeus:

part. size used

boot: 117.63 12.59

1 305.93 305.93

2 604.01 604.01

3 384.34 384.34

4 603.98 603.98

SD card 5.43GB 5.43GB

This is partitioned 8GB Sandisk card. I've never used anything larger, but YMMV.

I'm too new with CM9 to be clear on which partitions hold which ROM systems, but I think you will see, regardless of what goes where, you've stll got a lot of space to use.

And, both my CM7 and CM9 are whip-fast (I'm using V6 Supercharger, which helped my Kang build CM7 a lot). Oddly, my slowest speed seems to be the stock B&N, but I use it rarely.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inportb:
You might not be aware of this, but your real question is "am I ready to deal with pre-release-quality software?" Of course CM9 is ready for daily use; but are you ready for CM9 in its current state? This is something that you'd have to ask yourself.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusv45:
i dont have an sd card for dual boot images :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusv45:
i have just tried cm9 today. I'm happy with the progress :) however I'm going back to cm7 lol it is not ready ~, at least not ready for me . Youtube doesn't work for me . scrolling is slower than cm7. it looks really neat though .

Perfect example is Handcent SMS. Allows you to pick your notification LED color, and mine never has a difference, and this is the 2nd or 3rd Epic I've tried it on. Facebook, on the other hand, defaults the color to blue.

[General Questions and Answers] DeltaOps:
My friend caught a glimpse of NumasX 1.1 on my phone and felt that he had to have it. I gave him the exact instructions that I was given and for some reason his phone bricked really bad. He had to reflash to stock via ODIN. I didn't have any complications on my phone, but he spent two hours waiting for the ROM to simmer down after the flash, and it booted into what he said was a "safe mode." My prior build was Froyo and his was Gingerbread, and we have the exact same phone. Is it possible that that may have been the issue?

[Android General] Aganar:
I would probably call it "Newbie's Guide" as opposed to "n00b's guide," as there is a real, if pedantic distinction made by the online community regarding "newbs" vs "n00bs"--the former being people who are simply new to the scene and ignorant of much of the inner workings, the latter being people who are considered willfully ignorant and/or annoying.

I'd also proofread it and make it look a little more professional. Simply slapping 'Ultimate' on the title a definitive FAQ does not make. Happy to assist on that front, if you like.
[Android General] Paresh Kalinani:
Unroot -OK. But Reclaim Warranty ?

I know we can unroot it :), but we can't factory LOCK the bootloader! :silly:

That depends on the particular device. Doesn't apply to my Galaxy Nexus. Fastboot oem lock and no one is ever the wiser =)
[Android General] Paresh Kalinani:
Will I be able to reclaim warranty?

So what do you think about HTC One V?
[Android General] jesusice:
Don't know much but I know if you use HTC's unlock then they definitely will know. Not sure if anyone's found an exploit or workaround for it yet. That's why I went with a Nexus this time, not to have to worry about such things.

Hello World

So I pulled IrRemote.apk and IrRemoteServices.apk, decompiled them, and wow a lot more work was put into the ir remote than I had originally anticipated. I am now convinced making a simple widget for the remote is over my head. I also logcat'ed the tablet s and tapped the tv power button and this is what I got

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
Have you tried to setup cached mode in google maps?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tyler durden:
From what I understood is that the Google maps cache only supports a 10 mile radius.

This is not enough of course, or is there a way to load an entire counrty map?

That would be great.

Thanks, I will give iGO a try!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hnl_dk:
Yes, it is only a limited cache size, but you can save as much of the map as you need. For example if I would need to go somewhere, could I save the complete route from home, before I go.

But yes, it would be more easy if it could be possible to save a bigger radius.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tyler durden:
I tried two versions of iGO, the 320x240 one and the one for the "bigger" screen.

The both don't "fit to screen", so the 320x240 one only fills half of the screen and the other one only shows a quarter of the program.

So I guess I'm stuck with Sygic or wait for Tomtom..

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] BlackArtsInc:
Another vote for iGO v8.4.3.179971 for HVGA 320x480 resolution.

Works great along with the A-GPS patch.

Locates my position in less than 5 seconds and is really fast.

Re calculating route is also fast.

NDrive with 3D maps is even better as far a graphics are concerned.

But still, iGO is not too bad visually either.

Sygic is the best option

I've tried almost every navigation software and stopped in Sygic because it is really goog. I don't understand why you say it is slow (perhaps your card is not fast(?)) because I've never experienced a slow working. The maps are stored on your SD and it has a lot of options with it. TMN Drive lacks a lot of things (like redefine route with pass-point, for exemple). Copilot is also a good app.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ctragas:
I'm testing Locus (v2.73) for a couple of days. Its interface is nice and has a lot of customization potential (large number of settings and unique features e.g like drawing circles defining where you'll be in a predifined time frame according to your current speed). I didn't buy any map, I'm using online maps so I have nothing to say about the quality of paid maps. It is promising and I'll keep testing it for a while. In daily basis I use Sygic.

People are using the jig to reset the binary counter. If you try and send it for a warranty repair with anything other than 0, Samsung will likely reject it. The jig resets to 0, so people who were running custom roms when their phone broke can have it repaired by samsung.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldtymehockey:
I have lurked for a while looking for a thread that closely matches the path I have taken. I arrived here partly by the sequence of threads and instructions I read and what has worked for me so far. I am somewhat versed in installing different ROMs as I did so on my Incredible.

I would like to get to ICS. It just looks cool. I bricked once last night trying. I used Odin to get back to stock GB. Then got to where I am.

Details:

1.	Use Odin to get to stock GB. (EH03 and Atlas _v2.2 pit) Reboot to stock GB.

2.	Use Odin to push CWM4 fixed for CM7

3.	Three finger to CWM4 and load salsaCM7_fascinate_02132012.zip

4.	Install Gapps zip from CWM4

5.	Use phone

Currently when I boot recovery from the three finger method I get CWM4 but it will not mount /data, /system, /cache, etc. If the device is booted and I reboot to recovery with the power button I get CWM5 and all files mount correctly.

Can I just load an ICS ROM from CWM5?

Do I need to start with build 2 or can I use 6.1 from here?

Or do I need to go back to stock EH03, load a plain CM7 and move forward that way?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldtymehockey:
I think I may have found an answer in Droidstyle's guide in section 4. I would have to go back to stock though to get CWM4 to work, then install THS build 1.

Do I have to do this or can I reboot into CWM5 recovery from the SalsaMOD CM7 and install an ICS ROM? Would I have to use an earlier build like 1 or 2 or can I go straight to 6?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
You can go straight to ICS from CM7, and you can certainly try jumping straight to the latest build, but I always have had to install build 1 or 2 first and then the later build. When I went from CM7 to ICS, I was on a different CM7 rom, but you should be able to go to ICS without having to go all the way back to stock.

Another thing to keep in mind is NEVER to 3-finger into recovery once you've flashed an ICS rom, you'll end up bootlooped. I'd get into the habit of always rebooting recovery from the power menu.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
Chuckles at the fact someone flashed salsa...

Ooh and Goodluck flashing
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldtymehockey:
Many thanks. I have both builds on my SD card at the moment. I did make the mistake of booting recovery from the three finger method. That's why I had to Odin all the way back to stock. I won't be doing that again.

Yeah yeah yeah... I saw that coming after reading several threads today. :cool:

It is actually working okay for me. I just like the look of the ICS ROMs. I think I am going to go with THS build 6.1 w/ Icy Glitch kernel like DroidStyle mentioned in another thread.

Also, I am going to try the 4G world and pick up a Charge this afternoon. Any thoughts on that device?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
THS 6.1 and glitch v14 has been a great combo for me, I've never really had a more stable setup, even with overclocking. My uptime was around 120 hours before I finally got a freeze and a reboot but that probably wouldn't have even happened if I left the kernel settings default.

I can certainly see where 4g speeds would come in handy and look forward to upgrading to a 4g device when we get it in my area. I've gotta say though, the charge doesn't seem to be too popular among the modding community, I know there are a few roms around for it, but to my knowledge, they don't have working ICS. I was pretty happy with CM7/MIUI for a while and held off on switching full-time to ICS, but I can't really see myself going back now. Amazing performance and 4.0 is just a great upgrade for android in general, in addition to looking "cool". ;) I've gotta think that going to a phone that's not as well supported rom/kernel wise, and without functional ICS would feel like sort of a downgrade, even with the charge's beautiful screen and LTE radio, but that's just me. Unless it's a screamin deal, I'd just hold out for a nexus.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icemanwbs:
Good move using Droidstyles guide ! FWIW....I have better luck with the THS 6.0 build.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oldtymehockey:
The Fascinate is running ICS nicely thanks to DroidStyle. I did get the Charge. I did get it a hundo less than the going rate in my area. I need to go to 4G because I have been 'throttled' on 3G. It is a suxdonut but I am a data user so VZW punishes me.

I do need to get this Charge off stock but in the meantime at least I can bring up a web page in less than five minutes. My speeds were below 300k on 3G when I was 'throttled'.

I think my next step will be to learn some basic dev skills for these devices. I mean, if I can teach myself old school VBA I think I can fumble through some development. If I come up with something good, I will certainly share.
