[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
indeed.... a nandroid backup via CW Recovery is the best thing you can do

just make sure the backup is verified and not corrupted, after the backup has completed
[General Questions and Answers] Razsus:
But I'm wondering how if when I'm rooting that time something screwed up my phone is bricked without any backup?

Is there anyway to backup the system before rooting?

Thanks you guys for replying :)
[General Questions and Answers] Faiz Malkani:
U can't mate. But I don't think u can brick a phone while rooting it

Hit THANKS if I helped you :p
[General Questions and Answers] Razsus:
Meaning I root my phone then I do a system backup with those they mention on top, if there's any problem I do a System Restore then use the Unroot method? To claim and warranty back from Samsung or even Unroot my warranty will be gone?
[General Questions and Answers] alanloax:
recovery

if you have recovery in the cell is easy to just start looking at recovery and backup and restore
[General Questions and Answers] Razsus:
What do you mean?

If with my phone backup it's just for recovery files,apps,images,etc..

I dont need those I just want the system so I will be safe :(
[General Questions and Answers] ChpStcksRlz:
Well in all honesty, when rooting your phone you're just adding stuff into the stock ROM to allow more freedom. But this depends on your root method. Just like with my G2, you install Visionary and run the temp root (no harm there) and then on to the permanent root (there's the harm) but it's fairly safe. Just follow your instructions and you shouldn't have any problems. In the case that you do mess up your stock ROM through rooting, the manufacturer includes a built in recovery (which you'll replace with CWM later on), the manufacturer's recovery menu is able to flash SIGNED roms which you may be able to acquire from somewhere here or the manufacturer's website
[General Questions and Answers] Faiz Malkani:
Ur system can be backed up via cwm. And yes u can unroot after flashing a stock rom to regain warranty

[Desire General] Simas96:
Hello.

I have bought a used desire a couple of months ago, and one thing has been really bothering me.

I need to charge the device for like 12 hours via AC, to get it to 100% (yes, I have tried several chargers), and after that, the battery life is like ~12 hours if I use it only a little. I have also bought a spare HTC genuine battery, nothing changed. The warranty is not valid in my country, so that's not an option. Anyone have any suggestions?

I also have ordered a battery charger from ebay (that would charge a battery without the phone), I'll post when I receive it.
[Desire General] hetalmp:
How long does it take the charger to get to 90%
[Desire General] Simas96:
It's about 10%/hour, and there is no difference what the percentage is.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Check battery health:

Type *#*'4636#*#* in dialer, > Battery information.

A full charge here takes ~ 3 hours. Till 90% nearly 2 hours, the rest 10% "need" the last hour.
[Desire General] greenie25:
Are you using a custom rom as some of these may drain battery FAST!
[Desire General] stormleader:
I'd check the running apps

reset phone to factory

if you are using clockworkmod recovery, then try clearing battery stats

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

oh, also try getting one of those $15 brand new batteries from eBay.

I got one, and it's been working like a charm for 3 months now

charges in less than 2.5 hours, and lasts for 1.5 days (average calls, SMS, music player...)
[Desire General] erklat:
Some enlightenment for you.
[Desire General] virginDesire:
What settings do you have for data connection? Wifi, sync etc

These can effect not only battery life but charge time also..

I use a custom ROM with juice defender ultimate..knocks the data off when the screen is off,, but with a sync'd check every 30 mins
[Desire General] stormleader:
lol thanks :D
[Desire General] Simas96:
I'm trying the guide above me, thanks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chappy824:
Is your phone rooted with unlocked boot loader? If yes do you have clockwork mod recovery? Gapps is what installs certain Google apps like market and Gmail and such.you flash gapps right after you flash your rom in the same session. A nandroid backup just backs up your current rom and data in case you have problems with the new rom or just don't like it.

When I boot into recovery and choose "install zip from sdcard" and then "install from internal sdcard" I get to the EXTERNAL sdcard. If i choose "install from sdcard" I get to the internal one. How can I solve this problem? thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyno0919:
The standard for CyanogenMod is to set the internal SD card as your external and the external as your internal. I know it sounds counter intuitive, but most people have a larger external SD card and would rather use that.

First off it would be helpful to know which phone exactly you have. If you navigate to the part of these forums containing your phone, a simple search would easily find a solution relating specifically to your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbaron2005:
It would be a great deal of information if we all knew what phone you are having problems on. Other then that.

When it takes you to the root* of the memory on the phone/SD. You may need to find the SD from internal storage.

When you see all the root files such as

"acct, bootimages, cache, config, data, sys, system, mnt"

MNT is a common Linux mount directory.

When you open the folder MNT you will see "sdcard, asec, obb, secure"

open SDCARD, and now you will be in your SD.

That's one way to find the SD card from internal memory.

I have a Galaxy Ace...which came with Android 2.2

My partner rooted it and everything was fine. At the same time he upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.3

But a couple of weeks ago he upgraded it to Gingerbread 2.3.6....and now it says it is root...but it doesn't have access to the root only apps....and it doesn't show the Superuser app that is needed.

Somehow it seems to be in some sort of limbo between unrooted and rooted.

I am well confused. Can anyone out there help please. :o:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ammubarak:
It looks like that the latest GB ROM used for the upgrade does not have the root.

You can add root to it. Before you do that, check by using terminal app with su command if the phone is rooted or not.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] julado:
Thank you....it sounds a bit technical.

I will get my partner to read it in a while.

Although it sounded like I KNOW what I am on about...I am, in fact, a complete beginner when it comes to Android. ;)

Root issue on Ace...

Hello all! I am Julado's partner. I had better explain what this is about in more detail here... :)

I took the original OS (Froyo) and updated it to Gingerbread (2.3.3) via Kies, I then used SOC to root it using ChainFire method - then installed and performed a TB back up. ALL Good - a few weeks later - I flashed an update using Odin to get 2.3.6 and an updated version of CF's kernel. At THAT point, CWM recovery had root access :cool: - but fully booted GingerBread had no SU app or returned root status via test command (both using a script and terminal). :confused: Sys info in settings shows 2.3.6 and ROOTED kernel image, but NO ROOT ACCESS is there in GB ~ Just in CWM Recovery. :eek:

I have re-flashed the CF kernel a few times and STILL have the same situation. I cannot understand why CWM has ROOT access but FULL 2.3.6 system doesn't.

Can anyone offer my any help please? Or possibly point out the blindingly obvious if I have missed what's clearly staring me in the face! :o Thanks. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
So u already flashed ketut's cfroot kernel and still doesn't have root access in the rom? Thats weird.

Btw kernel name in system settings even if it said root doesnt mean your rooted. thats the build host of the kernel compiler.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] hallidafykzir:
When you are in GB, you can't root your ace via SOC. It will look success, but actually it's not. You have to root it using update.zip and flash via recovery. Just find it by googling. ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mikeybaby72:
Thanks for the speedy reply! ;)

I understand that the settings name is from build compiler. I have tested for root access with terminal and various apps (even tried downloading & installing SU app myself!!) - but don't understand why CWM DOES have root - but full OS doesn't! :confused: :eek: :(

I am truly baffled ATM! :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] julado:
Sits and grins at screen.....having absolutely NO idea what any of this post means :p

Would anyone like me to KNIT them an Android :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mikeybaby72:
I did get FULL root access after using SOC to root (chainfire method) GB - I rooted 2.3.3 with SOC, NO PROBLEMS! :cool: - THEN made TB (needs root) successfully. It was only after using Odin to flash 2.3.6 that SOC root resulted in the current quasi-rooted state. :(

I have tried re-flashing CF kernel both using Odin AND via CWM (update.zip) method - Neither worked = STILL BAFFLED???! :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] eugenesan:
Hi all,

After long suffering from dropped incoming calls, I've finally found the reason:

back key behaves as "End" key during incoming calls.

The fact our phone's keys are actually soft keys, makes it really annoying.

It appears that problem is well known by many "soft keys" phones owners but solution still didn't find it's way into Vanilla android nor Cyanogenmod.

Note, stock LG ROM come with this issue fixed.

I hope developers are visiting this forum and will add a fix to their ROMs and maybe push it upstream.
