BATTERY MONITOR WIDGET CANNOT DISPLAY THE REAL CAPACITY.

Sony had hardcoded the stock mAh value in their kernels. See the thread from which I took the quote for more info.

Although, to be honest, a bigger battery in mAh same size as stock would be MUCH more expensive, so it's most batteries as such are likely fake.

[Xperia Arc Accessories] sleepsus:
Update:

After 3 full charge cycles Battery Monitor Widget now reports the battery to be at 1285 mAh.

I think the calibration is more accurate this time. I no longer get weird behavior of the battery going from ~40% to 0% in an instant.

I'm using MX Video player on SW decoder right now at 21% battery charge. Will do another full discharge and run through the calibration test again to see if the reading is consistent.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] iridaki:
Sure, go ahead and disregard what I said above about 1500 mAh battery capacity value being hardcoded in the kernel and Battery Monitor being totally unable to display the real capacity. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc Accessories] sleepsus:
It's your opinion and I respect it. I don't have to believe it nor do I impose my own opinions upon others.

These are based on my tests and experiences. If you want me to believe in what you say, then go and use a stock kernel and use Battery Monitor Widget on your own extended battery and we can discuss on the same level.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] Boudin:
It's not really an opinion but rather a fact. Any software needs a reference value that will be used to calculate battery status, remainging capacity etc.. Sony hardcoded stock battery capacity into kernel (1500mah). So any battery will show up as a 1500mah one unless you modify and compile a kernel for your battery.

I don't know if there is any kernel for arc/arcs that inquire battery for its real capacity. Maybe FXP cyanogen mod one as it's not based on Sony one.

I don't know if wrong capacity values have influence on battery life though.
[Xperia Arc Accessories] iridaki:
It is not an opinion, it is a FACT.

And if you had read the link I sent you -something I did to HELP you, not criticise you in any way-

you would see that I did experimented A LOT on the subject and I was lucky enough to have Bazoocase

(a developer who introduced the workaround for "fried" battery fuel gauges) help me and explain things to me.

I was only passing on information that is useful, trying to help you because I was in your place not long ago when I bought my external battery.

Your test and experiences are based on

false facts

given by a 3rd party "universal" android app, not specific either to Sony devices nor Sony kernels.

Sure, hold on to them, I really can't afford to care, but if you actually want to evaluate your extended battery properly, you know where to find me. :rolleyes: ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anon89:
Hi all. (scroll to third paragraph for the question)...

I just got a generic Chinese android tablet (WonderMedia WM8650)

It came without the google market, I got that all set up now

The only problem is there are no location services available. The tablet doesn't have gps but I thought wifi locations would still work? I started google maps, it said to enable location services and I clicked 'settings' but there were no location services options :/

I read somewhere (but cant remember where :/) someone added some framework files and got it to work but he wasn't sure which files 'fixed' it, and some stuff got messed up. So he said he was gonna narrow it down to the files needed but he never replied back :( and never posted the files he used. So I came here to the great XDA for some help :D

What files do the wifi location services depend on, or do I need to just edit files I already have? Currently there is no option for services. Please help, or point me in the right direction...I've been looking everywhere :(

Thanks for any replies :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thusband:
I created a Galaxy Nexus folder on the "data" drive on my PC. I connect my rooted Gnex and can see "Internal Storage" with folders and data in them. I can drag and drop the Clockworkmod folder and all the files inside move over to my PC just fine but with (paid) Titanium Backup only the folder is moved and none of files inside. The folder is empty. I can try to drag and drop single or multiple TiBu files and nothing is moved. I tried moving them to my desktop rather than the other drive and same thing happens. This happens with drag and drop or copy/paste. Why would Clockworkmod files move but not TiBu files?

Any help appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
Have you tried using a file explorer on the phone and copying the the TitaniumBackup files to a folder that is viewable always through MTP such as DCIM and then transferring from that folder to your PC?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thusband:
I'll have to do more reading but I sort of understand that. Isn't that just a workaround? Shouldn't I be able to drag and drop the TiBu folder and its contents?

There's no problem dragging and dropping folders from my PC to my Gnex.

Thanks for help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
It may be...I got my GNex today (been on the same Drod Incredible since mid 2010). Already rooted, CWM and custom ROM, but I haven't had much time to play with the phone yet. I did notice using File Explorer I can see more folders on the SD card root than I can see using MTP which I believe may be related to the issue you're having.

I've only transferred files from my PC to the phone and subsequently deleted files using MTP, but I'll update trying to pull files from the phone. You could use ADP as well if MTP doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thusband:
MTP has to do with Media Player right? Maybe my problem is when I hook the Gnex up via USB the AutoPlay box comes up and I've just been closing it out without selecting anything. The only selection that mentions Windows Media Player is, "Sync digital media files to this device using Windows Media Player". Should I select that one? There's also, "Open device to view files using Windows Explorer" There're some others but I don't think they pertain.

Thanks, again for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
I've been clicking open device to view files or opening it through My Computer.

Make sure the phone is set to MTP and not Camera mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
You can also use adb to pull the folder of your phone, assuming you have the correct drivers installed.

adb pull /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thusband:
Is MTP mode in Settings? I can't see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thusband:
The drivers are the ones that came with Mug's Toolkit. I need to read up on abd.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
When you connect via USB, you can pull the notification bar down and change the type of connection type.

ADB seems daunting, but is actually easy to use. Same with fastboot. Before you start running things, get ADB and other apps installed, open a command prompt from the platform-tools folder of the SDK and run the command: adb devices to verify the drivers are working. I've found usually the ADP driver installs fine, but the Android 1.0 driver for fastboot doesn't. Make sure both work fine before you start messing with things.

To test fastboot, boot into the boot loader and see if the computer recognizes the phone. You can then run the command: fastboot devices to see if you have a good connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thusband:
OK thanks. The pulldown shows MTP checked. Could it be something in Win 7 that needs changing to be able to recognize the Internal Storage files?

Looks like there's quite a few steps in setting up ADB. I'll have to read through everything carefully.

As with so many things unlocking and rooting opens up a can of worms. I don't mean that in the negative but it's like learning how to ride a bike again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
The GNex Toolkit can easily install the correct drivers for you. You don't need the entire Android SDK if you just want Fastboot and ADB.

There's a DL link to Fastboot + ADB here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1366806&highlight=download+fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thusband:
Thanks everyone for the help. Fastboot and ADB will certain't have to be installed but it seems like it's a work around for not being able to drag and drop the TiBu files to my PC. I haven't seen other folks with this problem so I need to find out why it's happening with me.

Again, I really appreciate the help. I've learned a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cedricj:
same issue here. was told to disconnect-reconnect usb cable. i did it twice but still i cant see the tibu folder... other folder works fine strangely..

i have a downloaded directory where i push files manually and i can see its contents!.

Whatever, i will use the tool kit :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zackpack:
same problem here...when i make a backup i can't find titanium backup folder when i connect usb,even if a create a new backup folder from explorer in windows7.... :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rjcapp:
Sync your tibu to dropbox or Google drive. Easily done over wifi.

I agree you can't copy the entire folder but I have no problem copy/paste the individual files inside titanium backup folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
The file directories for MTP aren't updated as dynamically as they should be. Try running an application like SDRescan or any of the solutions in the threads about missing files through MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zackpack:
thank you all. Tonight i've uploaded to dropbox but i think it's a long way to get the result.

I'll try soon SDRescan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theMaDHakkeR:
If your on a custom ROM make sure to fix permissions.

I've had this happen on my GNex and my Xoom. Only real way I solved it was deleting all the files in my SD card with root explorer except for CWM folded and the rom I'm installing. Then reboot right after the delete FORMATTING system/data/cache and factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andie00:
I had this problem on my stock but rooted nexus. I could copy over files and folders just fine except the Titanium folder. I just restarted my phone and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tanker01:
Hi everybody,

Since I have my GN, I always had this problem, or near... Most of the time after a backup with TitaniumBackup, I just had to reboot before having the possibility to see the folder in Windows via MTP... I hate MTP !

But today, I wanted to upgrade to JB, and do it with a full wipe, factory reset. But I couldn't find my Titanium Backup folder ! I rebooted 5 times, I changed drivers, I tried another PC with Windows XP and all the time I only could see old folders ... Like a ghost of my Internal memory.

I tried all wipes except format and full wipe, I fixed permissions, I tried SCrescan ... Nothing fixed the problem

BUT I FINALLY FIND THE SOLUTION :

If you have a custom Kernel, with the app (like Franco + Franco Updater), DISABLE the option "LOGGER OFF" !

I know it sounds stupid, because it was made to avoid the internal memory scan, but I enabled it a long time ago, and I forgot it...

For me after a reboot the problem was fixed ! I only lost 5 hours of my time to backup ...

If it fixed your problem, hit the "Thanks" button ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KillerQ:
Hey all,

As the warning splash mentions, simply ENABLE USB DEBUGGING. The caused the Titanium folder to INSTANTLY show up on my computer when it seemed to be missing.

Let me know if this helped,

Thanks,

Matt!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] palmcrash:
Shows up fine for me, but it just won't copy over to the PC (some files do, some don't from the same folder). And yes, USB debugging is enabled. Reboot sometimes helps, often not. I resort to using "Terminal Emulator" to tar/gzip the directory, and copy that over instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
I trust ADB more than any native MTP functionality.

adb pull /SDCARD/ /sdcard/TitaniumBackup

(Not sure of the exact location...or capitalization...but I think that's it)

This will put your TB folder in an "SDCARD" folder in your C:\ drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] easycheese:
Not quite...

Actually its adb pull /sdcard/titaniumbackup/ /sdcard

ADB pull [remote] [local]

This will pull from the folder titanium backup and put it in a folder c:/sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eiapoce:
Royal

I am having the same issues here.

I had to copy everything to the DCIM directory and reconnect the cable to see the backup files. This works... but as I don't like console I used a filemanager and on many files it's going to be a time consuming task.

It's really a royal pain in the ass not to be able to see phone contents from the file explorer in windows. And something that should be addressed as soon as possible (Right after the 3Gb bug of the Nexus 7)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naman919:
Thanks!

BINGO! you're the man! Thanks! that was my problem as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flintberg:
I had the same problem with my new Nexus 4, and found a solution that doesn't require a custom kernel - what you need to do is CHANGE TB folder location (via TB) from storage/emulated/0/TBfolder to storage/sdcard0/TBfolder - and now while connected to MTP you can see your backups correctly.

Hope it works for GNex too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bodh:

Question About Nandroid Backup & Kernel

If I make a nandroid backup of SmoothROM with the Franco kernel, is it possible to reinstall SmoothROM, choose a new kernel (Motley), and then go back into Recovery and restore the nandroid backup? Will this result in a SmoothROM install with the Motley kernel or will the backup restore the Franco kernel as well? Using TWRP v2.5.0.0 to create the nandroid backup. Backup was made with all boxes checked (System, Cache, Data, Boot, Recovery). Any help is greatly appreciated!! :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skicr8z:
ADB Pull worked for me

I realize that this is an old thread, but I recently came across it when I was having the same problem of not being able to copy files from the "titaniumbackup" folder on my Nexus 4 phone. The ADB pull method worked perfectly for me and was the only solution that I found that actually worked.

adb pull -p /sdcard/titaniumbackup C:/titaniumbackup

That command will put all of the files from your phone in the C:/titaniumbackup folder. The -p switch will show you the progress of the file transfer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
I've got the opposite problem right now. I can copy to my pc, but I can't copy to the new phone.

Even with adb push, it copies only around 75% of all backup files. Even if it says "0 files skipped", it only pushes 439 of 655 files.

Really sucks.

EDIT: I realized that the problem was copying so many files over mtp doesn't work. I rebooted the phone and copied 100 files at once, then another 100 and so on. This did finally work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustinSB:
Exactly the same under Lollipop

I just had exactly the same thing on Lollipop on a Nexus 7 nakasi/grouper tablet. I installed Titanium Backup, backed up the tablet then plugged it into my PC. I couldn't see the TitaniumBackup folder at all. So I rebooted the tablet & plugged it back in. Now I could see the folder, but it was empty, so I left it plugged in for 1/2 an hour and everything was OK & I could copy my backup files onto my PC. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
Yeah, MTP sucks hard hairy balls. Can't understand why google is doing this to us. It's not only slow, but indeed doesn't even work good (As you see on my previous posts.)

I really wish mass storage mode would be back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wernerml:
Simple solution: Android Commander a File Explorer that shows the folder 100% normal, you can copy it without bugs! tested, working 100%

FYI: my Moto G 2014 (xt1068) also has this Titanium folder bug.... and also: MANY other File/Folders BUGS (in Windows Explorer).... maybe the Driver provided by Motorola isn't good... don't know... don't care....

-> when I want Simple copy/paste actions (like Documents/Photos/APKs) I use "Windows Explorer"

-> when I want Advanced copy/paste actions (like Titanium backup folder / TWRP Nandroid Backup / System's Root files) I use "Android Commander"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vbaros:
Just create another folder on the /sdcard (e.g. /sdcard/backup/) and copy all the content of the TitaniumBackup folder to it. Then access /backup folder from the pc. All files should be there.

ok guys i just picked up a play for att. sucks cause i have tmobile and wont get the 3/4g data. im almost always in wifi spots anyway so no big deal.

anyway i have already called att and got the phone sim unlocked. now if i think i understand this correctly this should be the order to follow. if you guys can confirm and provide latest links i would appreciate greatly.

1. sim unlock (done)

2. unlock bootloader (not yet)

3. root (not yet)

4. load rom (not yet)

correct??? did i miss anything? any preferred method on any of these? please advise.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
If you were rooted before you don't need to re-root unless you purposely unrooted it. IF you aren't rooted anymore superoneclick or the zergrush(however it's spelled) is the easiest. I'm 99% sure you don't have an unlocked bootloader though, so you have very few options. I'd say re-root if you need to and unlock your bootloader so you can flash flash and flash custom roms like crazy

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
You need to pay Setool credits in order to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader allows you to lose the sin lock as well, so you could have killed two birds with the same stone.

open the dial pad and use this code*#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration".

If it says unlock bootloader = no, then you have to use the paid service, if yes, then you can do it for free yourself.

Hi!

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab P-1000 which is rooted by SuperOneClick-program.

When I rebooted the Tab & wanted Windows to recognize it to install the driver it failed to do so.

I CAN access it using SSH, but that's not what I'm after.

I'm trying to find a way to compile & build Cyanogemod Recovery for this Tab to either upgrade to Android ICS 4.0.3 or to another Linux-distro.
