Is it just me or does the battery icon never stop showing the lightning bolt when plugged in? With Gingerbread, I'd see a fully charged notification and the icon would go solid.
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
Try formatting your mounts - all of them. When I first came over to ICS I had to do it. This will soft brick your phone, so be ready, but you should be able to get in to the kernel and flash the rom after that.
[Captivate Android Development] JoshIV34:
Seems slow.

The rom and contents are great but when playing games or just doing simple web surfing it seems quite slow. The best options for a ICS rom but not great speed.

Coming to Gummy 0.9.0 from Apex 12.5, I must say so far I'm impressed. Great work! I flashed it 10 minutes ago. Btw you might wanna consider making the gapps bigger. I completely missed out on it.

For me, touch sounds and screen lock sounds aren't working. Anyone got that problem?

Also there's a slight input lag from when I touch the screen and things actually happen on the phone. I realize this was reported earlier though.

It'd be great if we can add a Download and Recovery mode in the power button menu as well.

Edit: It seems that flashing Thunderbolt! is helping with the lag.
[Captivate Android Development] itsxiao:
yea it does seem really choppy to me. its quite noticeable when i text, letters won't get inputted fast enough and then appear super fast. also selecting options has a 1 second or so lag.
[Captivate Android Development] dchawk81:
Thunderbolt?

Hrm has anyone figured out how to get Facebook contacts working with the phone? I want their profile pictures to show up as contact photos.
[Captivate Android Development] shaker2k:
I don't think it's a ROM issue. I've had that problem on 3 roms in the last week.
[Captivate Android Development] dchawk81:
Ah okay. Well I'm having nasty battery drain as well so I think I'll go back to Gingy asap.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Well with GB, this is what I did:

Log into Facebook and go to Privacy Settings --> Edit Settings of Apps and Websites --> Edit Settings under Apps --> Delete Samsung Mobile

Go to Accounts and go to Facebook SNS

Log in and sync contacts

Install Facebook App and sync contacts

What kind of battery drain? So far I'm not getting any sorts of battery drain.

Vibrate doesn't work when silent mode is enabled. It seems that text notifications work occasionally as well.
[Captivate Android Development] dchawk81:
Just generally using more battery than G-bread for the same tasks. And idlin/sleeping...I lost 45% overnight.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Whoa that's a lot. Was your phone sleeping properly? I lost roughly 15% over 8 hours on an unreleased Captivate kernel.

Is the camera app FC on anyone when trying to change photo resolution?
[Captivate Android Development] blutruck:
Check wifi. Mine will toggle off then on every few days. It's not the ROM but my router (I have to reset it, then it starts working again). I think ICS is a little more sensitive to wifi fluctuations, I didn't notice this when I was on GB ROMs. Causes big battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Have you confirmed that the phone does go into sleep mode? I was having horrendous drain (on another ROM). CPUSpy showed that it never entered Deep Sleep. A reboot did the trick in my case.
[Captivate Android Development] dchawk81:
I don't know. But I've rebooted many times, since I'm a battery swapper.
[Captivate Android Development] dchawk81:
I always leave WiFi off so it's definitely not that.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
In addition to the camera FC I mentioned in a previous post, it seems speed dial is missing as well.
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
I left this ROM again. I just couldn't handle the sluggish performance. I was getting constant weird freezes that look like what happens when you set live OC to 150%. Except this happened even with no OC.

Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
That is because the BUS is being pushed beyond anything you can imagine. A %150 Live OC is crazy. I am surprised you got there...
[Captivate Android Development] gicuenitro:
Yea, I am not sure if it is my doing or not but I have had the same issue on both the captivates I have access too.

Just a complete change in performance. All is better after flashing the previous build though. ;x
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
No no, without using ANY live OC, my phone freezes the same way it does as if I were to set it that high (because I tried for fun once). Like my screen goes pink with vertical lines and such, and I get freezes like that with stock settings.

Oh and I should mention that gummy 0.8.x worked better

Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] mletchworth:
So, any idea how we can improve the performance of 0.9? I personally haven't used any of the previous versions (came over from ICSSGS RC4.2), but I'm pretty disappointed with the lack of smoothness/speed. However, I LOVE the extra options and ability to customize this. So for now, I'm going to stick with this version and hope some fix comes out to speed it up.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
Does it involve us knowing how to compile things? I might be able to get that going for you. Dunno yet.

Try turning the idle setting on?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] waffleb051:
I gave up and ended up going back to a backup and so far it looks like it fixed it, i think it was an unthrottle script that forced the data connection to not idle, which is a huge bug
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] reubenray:
When saving new contacts it ask if I want it save to phone, sim card or Microsoft Exchange. I want the contacts saved to my SD card so which one do I check?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AndroidNeophyte:
Choose phone then it will save on your phone... The next time you make a contact backup, it will backup your contacts save on your phone to the sd card... I'm haven't seen an option tosave each contact to sd... I might be wrong on that...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Save to phone.

A nice option is to sync your contacts to your Google Mail account and then you always have them, and they are backed up. It is a great solution.

[HTC Wildfire S] Gljohns1:
Hello folks,

Ok here is my problem. First my phone is a Marvelc EVT1 / S-On RL, my Bootloader is "unlocked"

I was foolishly exploring the options in TitaniumBackup Pro and selected the clear dalvik cache and the disassociate dalvik from system (a dumb move, I know). So when I restarted my phone it got caught up in a bootloop from the MetroPCS splash screen to the HTC boot screen. I can get into HBoot just fine however, when I select factory reset, it goes into the factory install screen, then reboots into the bootloop process. When I select recovery I get into the recovery menu and can select reboot, install update from SD, wipe cache/factory reset or clear user info, but still even after doing all of that and selecting reboot, it goes back into bootloop. I didnt have clockwork installed because I thought Titanium would suffice as a backup utility.

Ive looked a few custom mods but I can't figure how to get them on my phone without access to the Android UI. I kinda figure that my phone is not a total lost cause because when I connect it via USB, the Android Composite Interface device as well as a hard drive icon appears when I connect the phone via USB. So I'm really desperate for some comprehensive instructions on fixing this issue if it is even possible. Any help would be super.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

[HTC Wildfire S] kagevazquez:
Maybe you could fast boot flash clockwork with adb then flash one of insinks metro roms (just an idea I don't know to much about this)
[HTC Wildfire S] heavy_metal_man:
You need to fastboot clockwork mod recovery onto your phone, then from cwm you need to wipe your cache, dalvick cache and factory reset the device. After that place the rom if your choice on your sdcard and flash it. Follow the thread for your rom for specific roms :D
[HTC Wildfire S] Gljohns1:
Thanks a ton for your info. I'll try that however every CW mod tutorial I've read always assumes that I had access to the android GUI. So I didn't understand how i could actually install it to phone. Your words are encouraging and I don't feel that this is a lost cause. Back to the research table/drawing board.

Thank again,

Hi im working on compiling cm9 for the amaze and for the life of me i can not figure out why it keeps failing heres my terminal output http://pastebin.com/eMBS15ua
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo:
I found two interesting places in the misc partition that make something with bootloader.

Usually the command "fastboot oem gencheckpt" generates:

...
(bootloader) active commandline: board_marvel.disable_uart3=0 board_marve
(bootloader) l.usb_h2w_sw=0 board_marvel.disable_sdcard=0 diag.enabled=0
(bootloader) board_marvel.debug_uart=0 smisize=0 userdata_sel=0 androidbo
(bootloader) ot.emmc=false androidboot.pagesize=2048 androidboot.baseban
(bootloader) d=7.54.39.28M androidboot.cid=HTC__032 androidboot.batt_powe
(bootloader) ron=good_battery androidboot.carrier=HTC-EastEurope androidb
(bootloader) oot.mid=PG7610000 androidboot.keycaps=qwerty androidboot.mod
(bootloader) e=recovery androidboot.serialno=X androidboot.boo
(bootloader) tloader=1.09.0099 zygote_oneshot=off kmemleak=off no_console
...
(bootloader) Delay 99993(us) for dpram command before goto AMSS...

There is one more parameter called radioflag (nice name :)). It starts at 0x00001020.

radioflag=0x12345678:

We receive:

...
(bootloader) oot.mid=PG7610000 androidboot.keycaps=qwerty androidboot.mod
(bootloader) e=recovery androidboot.serialno=X androidboot.boo
(bootloader) tloader=1.09.0099 zygote_oneshot=off kmemleak=off [b]radioflag=[/b]
(bootloader) [b]0x12345678[/b] no_console_suspend=1 console=null
...

The second adress is 0x0000C40.

It is responsible for few parameters, like board_marvel.disable_uart3, board_marvel.usb_h2w_sw, board_marvel.disable_sdcard, diag.enabled.

...
(bootloader) active commandline: board_marvel.disable_uart3=1 board_marve
(bootloader) l.usb_h2w_sw=0 [b]board_marvel.disable_sdcard=1 diag.enabled=1[/b]
...
[b](bootloader) atag_add_blob(off=2053, tag=54410021) 3[/b]
...

After changing byte to 02h diag.enabled=0 becomes diag.enabled=1. Maybe it creates the way to run DIAG... somehow...

Warning: it's very risky to play with 0x0000C40, because you can easy block communication with your PC. For example: after "erase_image misc" you still can access adb and restore your misc partition because 00 is the standard value of 0x0000C40. I don't want to write how hard is restore misc if there is written the bad value. Just do it only when you know what you are doing!

PS. Some RUUs change values in 0x0000C40 but it is rather not important.

Who first finds out what radioflag is for, wins the beer.
[HTC Wildfire S] theq86:
I screwed up misc partition once by writing before erasing. It was a whole mess.

what happened:

- no working sd

- no working usb (only in fastboot mode)

- not possible to boot up device, bootloop

and other bad things. but I got it repaired.

misc contains some information to make the kernel params.

but yeh, it's mysterious. I'll have a look

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

my misc partition only shows 00 at your offsets.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
hmmm

Ok. Quick question each of previous posters...

Are you S-On or S-Off?

These might well be the secu flags xtc clip (or other methods) wipe out...

If so, you might well have identified the block...

Which could then theoretically allow for unlocking/relocking radio.

We never get that lucky though.. but worth the question.

About the MISC

Hi to everyone here .I wonder how to recover Misc partition to check for excample the values the space availability and anyway i am curious what , is going in there .?My edition is 002 (hboot).What at last!! is the difference between 001 edition .i am rooted since 2011 and i have full access on rooting suppose..I am flashed my phone more than 40 times and no prob till now ..I wonder if someone can answer detailing please about NAND reliability??Anyway how this tiny chip stands in no error strongly into time- after so many formats into there??That device is standing reliable like a rock! Also there is a reason yet i am asking .A friend (same mobile) had no prob till the last week flashed some 2.3.7 different roms started to face a prob that 'drive home' app shows into the notification bar even after many formats and deleting the app using root explorer for excample.He reflashed the recovery and uses 4.0.1.4 everytime.

the problem remained the same:confused:Also he has prob on usb driver connect on some roms,if that helps better..I suppose that something like bud sector stuck into its internal memory!!and can not be fully formmated ..??How can someone format The misc form the start and check the health inside there??Is that possible on your knowledge??Thanks a lot,regards, and hope someone can reply for a solution:good:

Is there a way to print directly from Prime+Dock, directly to a printer WITHOUT A COMPUTER.

Situation: Epson 960, webtv, and the Prime

When visiting my 95 year old mother, I sometimes want to print items. The only technology is her webtv. The printer will connect to webtv or the prime dock by USB cable.

I haven't found a "stand alone" printing app for the prime...All available seem to want a Wifi Printer, or wifi connection to the home network.

The only solution that I can think of would be to put whatever I wanted to print as an attachment to an email, then open it in WebTv, then print that way...

Anyone have any better suggestions?????

PLEASE!!!!!

Thanks,

Bob

There is an app for that. It's name is printershare.

Printing from Prime

I've been using CloudPrint... requires a pc somewhere to have been setup with Cloudprint, but it works with my Galaxy Note and TF201... for work and home printers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Felisek:
This app looks promising, however the free demo only prints a greyscale test page, which doesn't look great on my printer. The real app is quite expensive and I'd like to know how good it really is before I pay. Let me explain what I mean.

I found a Brother app which works with my printer. However, print quality is rubbish. It looks like it rasterizes web pages into medium-resolution graphics and sends this to the printer. The effect is quite horrible: fonts are fuzzy and text difficult to read. The test page from Printershare looked exactly the same.

So, how does Printershare deal with web pages and PDF documents? Does it do the same rasterizing trick, or does it send proper fonts to the printer and let it render prints properly.

Another problem for me is that Printershare does not have my Brother HL5250 driver, so I have to use a nearest hit...
[HTC Rezound] famester:
Getting my rezound Tuesday.

Wanna root it immediately but wondering what kind of issues you guys might get with your rezound cause not really sure about how the whole relocking your phone says phone relocked. Sorry its probably been asked but I've been searching for twenty minutes can the phone be completely relocked if the phone had issues.
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
You answered your own question. It can be relocked. But it'll say relocked.
[HTC Rezound] famester:
So no ones figured it out then I take it
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Figured what out?
[HTC Rezound] famester:
To return the bootloader to factory locked not relocked. Just wondering cause I'm kinda weary of certified like new phones. I don't want to root have the hardware fail and not be covered. Or is this even a problem can it just be sent in relocked
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
There's no way to put it back to full on "LOCKED" It'll say "RELOCKED" but there's been many people who've returned their Rezounds for different reasons with no issues because 99/100 times, the rep will not check to see if it's been unlocked or not.

[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
You don't void your warranty, HTC says you may void your warranty.

So by may void your warranty pretty much HTC means if you brick it from flashing say a radio or send it back running ics then your screwed?

[LG Nitro HD] affenzeit:
Well, I'm out of contract and debating between the Nitro HD and Spectrum. I get that they're basically the same phone, but I don't know which way to go. They're they same price on Amazon. Any suggestions?
[LG Nitro HD] queequegscoffin:
I think it comes down to carrier choice. I'm in Austin and AT&T has LTE coverage here so I went Nitro.
[LG Nitro HD] liteon163:
I've read that the Spectrum has been massaged a bit, making it a run a bit more smoothly than the Nitro HD. I can't verify that myself, but I can tell you that the Spectrum works great.

If Verizon is stronger near you, go with the Spectrum. If AT&T is better, get the Nitro.
[LG Nitro HD] raytraceme:
Also dont forget cm9 is being ported to the nitro ;)
[LG Nitro HD] affenzeit:
I live in Dallas-Ft. Worth, so Verizon is slightly stronger, but they run pretty evenly. CM9 on the Nitro HD is pretty tempting, but with the phones being so similar, I imagine that it won't take much to port it. What concerns me is that I've found little on Spectrum development. I can't find any roms, and there isn't even a thread here on XDA yet. This is making me tempted to to go with the Nitro HD. I'm going to Fry's in the morning to see if they'll price match www.letstalk.com, and if so, I may just make a last minute split decision.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
If you have at&t lte, go with them. When you're out of LTE, their HSPA+ is faster than verizons 3g.
[LG Nitro HD] affenzeit:
so, Verizon doesn't have hspa+? That may have sealed the deal.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
No. Evdo. It top speed is like 1/3 of hspa+ . That's why they went to lte earlier than att.
[LG Nitro HD] neph81:
Actually, our development on the Spectrum is just about as good as is on the Nitro. We currently have root and CWM recovery. Roms are in the works, but slow going as I just ported the official Nitro recovery to the Spectrum last weekend. Now that is taken care of, I have no doubt that roms will start popping up.
[LG Nitro HD] affenzeit:
I went with the Spectrum and should be receiving it today. It came down to two things: 1) I like the feel of the Spectrum better 2) www.letstalk.com has it free with a 2-year contract and free overnight shipping. The cheaptest nitro I could find was $75, so I jumped on the free one.

To neph81- how long do you thing it will take to carry over the work being done on CM9 for the NitroHD?
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
When I first got the Nitro HD, there were no ROMs for it. I fixed that by releasing a de-odexed base and then the first custom ROM for it :)

My point is, someone has to kickstart development on the phone and then people will follow. Its a new phone, I suspect not too many XDA members have it at this point, especially devs. Give it some time.
