[HTC Incredible S] keroro430:
Safe mode can let you delete the apps which occured the phone has a force reboot or boot loop. Safe mode won't run any third-party apps in backgroud after the safe booting.

1. Reboot your device.

2. Wait for the boot animation.

3. When the animation shows, press and hold "volume down"

4. If scuceed, the phone will vibrate and a "safe mode" will appear on the lower left of the screen.

I think every rom on Incredible S can enter the safe mode.
[HTC Incredible S] inSaN1Ty_X:
I just today for the first time got stuck in safemode. Realized that reboot cant get you back to normal, only battery pull as far as I know.

Still great guide!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DEinspanjer:
I have a wifi 10.1 that suffered an accident. The screen is shattered in the corner and only half the digitizer works.

I had never rooted or customized this tab, but I need to see if there is a good way to copy app data off of it.

Are there any tools that would let me input from my desktop or other android? Any good non-root tools for backing up the data that I could restore to another machine? I am used to Titanium and removable SD cards on my other devices.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jonnyg1097:
if the screen is usable and you need specific files to take off, an app that i use is called Software Data Cable. It essentially creates an ftp like server with the wifi connection and you can browse your tab that way picking and choosing which files you want.

If you can use it this way then you can make a titanium backup and then just copy over the file onto your desktop so you can restore it onto your future tab.

Unfortunately, I can only think of apps that require root to be able to broadcast your devices screen onto your computer screen and use it that way. Sorry.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DEinspanjer:
Okay, thanks very much for the advice. Only half the digitizer works, but with some contortions I might be able to get Titanium installed. Will it be able to make a proper backup without root though?

Maybe I should take a look at whether I can root it first..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jonnyg1097:
I remember titanium backup having a free non root app but I cant seem to find it anymore in the play store.

However there is a backup app that I use called MyBackup (well I use the Pro version of the app) which works well for non rooted devices. Although if I recall it asks you to restore each app individually but as for the backing up process it should be pretty straight forward.

Hello Guys,

I am new here. My name is Christian. I ordered a Dell Venue by my Uncle in Maryland for use in Germany. Last week I got the phone.

A normal system.img is one imagefile, but his Rom is 2 Files and one image. How Can I flash this Rom on my Dell Venue?

Many thanks to all who can help me.

Hey guys hoping someone can help me out here. Im looking for an app similar to the blackberry feature that automatically uses wifi for voice calls instead of your cell phone when your wifi network is detected. I need it to use my cell number not a new number. Ive seen a ton of voip and sip apps but no mention of the feature im looking for in the description. Thanks guys.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmckee.cna:
As far as I know, Verizon has not yet implemented this function, only Tmobile.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
GrooveIP has various settings to control when WiFi is used and when the mobile network is used. It will also use mobile data for calls and works with a Google Voice number.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
I use Sipdoid and/or Fring, although the whole process is a bit complex if you want truly "free" Voip.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Herroyuy_246:
Talkatone is what I've used and uses google voice. Always worked better then all other ones I've tried and easiest to set up.

I officially have the fastest tablet on the planet according to Antutu!!

YES! Sub zero cooling for the WIN!

I forgot to add.... U S A , U S A, U S A!!! LOL

I just added my best CFbench score. This is on 1.7ghz @ 600mhz GPU.

Thanks to Diamond for the wonderful rom.

Thanks to Motley and Shaky for the amazing kernel

Thanks to Droidth3ory for all the work on the phone side of things, without your help and awesome roms I would not be into flashing!

Maybe we could fab some sort of water to air intercooler. I am sure you could find one easy in NoVa, with all those boosted civics running around.

Thanks, my wife thinks I am the biggest dork in the world.

I was in the kitchen benching and all she heard was F*** YEAAH!!!!! LOL!

EDIT: I think the cooling solution I have (the temporary one atleast) is plenty for benching at 2.0ghz.

Bring it on kernel makers =)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
lol Congrats. I bet you could easily hit 16000. try this and I bet you score alot higher. get system tuner. then go into could tweaks. set the governor there to Performance. then set the min. speed slider all the way up to Max. now you should see all 4 of your CPU maxed out @ 1.8Ghz full time. meaning each core is active @ 1.8Ghz. the regular overclocking doesn't enable all 4 cores to run at once at those speeds. Method I just described will and is why I usually score alot higher than people on same 1.6Ghz clock speed as me. my 2D and 3D scores on quadrant was even higher than that one guy who made the 1.8Ghz available. and that was me still @ 1.6ghz. my 2D score was more than double his @ 1.8Ghz. you can also go into settings, then developer options. then enable the force gpu rendering. that should help increase your scores also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] _motley:
Nice! I have my kernel running at 1.8 GHz now. I basically enabled what I had the first time I tried, but now the voltages are the same as my latest 1.7. This time it runs fine. I am a little disappointed that the scores aren't higher though and keep wondering what else is limiting us. Hope to do more study soon. The voltage regulator is keeping us pinned at 1500mV and I haven't tried to up that yet. We don't need it yet...but we will if we want to go higher.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Anyway I could get a copy of your kernel? I am using a different 1.8ghz kernel but I dont think it has the tweaks yours has. Maybe PM it to me if your willing.

EDIT: I wonder if there is a way to make the kernel use 1.6ghz for balanced and then use performance to screw around with. Can I edit this myself motley?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Just updated with new CFbench score. Will try to go higher with this test kernel, these are just the first few runs I did.

Sometimes I wonder what our mates who are completely uninterested in technology think when we do something like what the OP said in the kitchen. I'm currently dating a guy who likes to write more than anything else. Writing creatively just isn't my cup of tea. He, on the other hand, is just not interested at all with technology. And somehow we've gravitated toward each other.

He some times give me weird looks when I yell out "****, yeah!" after I've hard modded something or successfully soldered things together that weren't meant to be together and still work. I guess opposites do attract.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaycustom:
My fiance knows how to work a PC because of her job. I got my first PC after we got together 10 years ago (I was 22) and she showed me the basics...then all hell broke loose.:D

I love anything and everything tech, and have had 5 Android devices since, not including PCs and MP3players,etc and I am constantly showing and telling her about how I have to unlock this,flash this, yadayada, and she always laughs and calls me a dork. BUT, when I bought my Prime, I didn't want her to ***** about me already having a TouchPad, so I bought her a 7" Galaxy Tab, and it turns out a lot of the stuff I showed her actually rubbed off, because she jumped right into Android and loves it.

So, you never know I guess. It's so cool that she understands much of what I tell her about home launchers, apps,Widgets, and Modding now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
I read this article at phonearena.com it's short but sweet and it says phones but assuming they are going to lte suggests that they mean ALL wimax devices.

Link: www.phonearena.com/news/Sprint-makes-it-official-no-more-WiMax-phones_id28587
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
excellent journalism
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] z31k:
Lmfao!!!! :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
tho if anyones actually interested in the info...

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...omises-to-launch-15-lte-devices-by-years-end/

we all knew there'd be no more wimax phones... but sprint had promised an evdo/wimax/lte hotspot this summer which would have been most likely the last wimax device... now it seems that got cut too.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
No the Sierra Wireless Tri-Band device is still coming. I think he meant that no more WiMax phones will be released. And the Tri-band hotspot is not WiMax only either, it is 3G, 4G, and 4G LTE
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
i quote the 2nd sentence of the article

"Now, though, Sprint says that not only will there be no more WiMax phones, which we knew earlier, but no more WiMax devices at all."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Idk it might mean afterwards. The tri-band is already in production and everything
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
ya i thought the same actually. but the article specifically mentions not just phones.. tho it may be incorrect info. reading the source link doesnt phrase it the exact way.. and could lean either way.

"Instead, Azzi said that Sprint is focused on its Network Vision project and is deploying multimodal equipment that includes LTE."

not sure how to take that exactly. it wouldnt be the first time a product is designed but never sees a retail shelf. hmmmmm....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
True, but this one was announced and everything. And it technically is a lte device with WiMAX built in. We will see come may
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FrameCityJackal:
So are could they be doing tri-bands for the phones or no? In a way it makes sense since 3G is so ass who would want to wait for LTE to come to their town and be on 3G when they could use 4G in the mean time. I do imagine though it would be a big time battery hog...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
No tri band phones, but there is one hotspot that was announced
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Sorry for the bad initial post lol. First post now has link to article i read. It specifically says phones..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
What da **** OP lol...so it is no more phones, not devices.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
Lol i was on my phone didnt have time to edit it after i started it til now.. he clearly was reading another article that says all devices but the one i read said phones..

Right but that means someone misquoted him
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Edit: Have a look at this thread: (MSC Mode for XPS). It could be a good workaround for your problem. MSC mode is kind of oldschool, but fine for copying things around.

If you want MTP support on Ubuntu, try this:

Connect Xperia S to an USB2 port.

Use the "lsusb" command to list your devices in a terminal

One of the lines should look like this:

Bus 002 Device 012: ID 0fce:5169 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

Note your vendor- and product id. Usually this is "0fce" for the vendor and "5169" for the product id. If you have USB debugging disabled, product id will be "0169".

unplug your phone

read this thread: humans-enabled.com

Install the newest Version of "libmtp" and copy the 69-libmtp.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d as described

Edit: This step may not be necessary for you!

Xperia S support is implementet in the libmtp-1.1.3. release. If you use the newest version from sourceforge.net skip this and go to step 7.

type following to edit the copied file as root:

sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules

Add the following text somewhere around the sony ericsson devices that are in this file. You can find them by searching for "0fce". Remember to set the correct vendor and product id:

# Sony Xperia S
ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTR{idProduct}=="5169", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"
ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTR{idProduct}=="0169", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"

reboot, or use

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

to actualise.

Plug in your device to a USB2 port, it will mount automatically. Use nautlius to copy files around.

Please let me know if it worked for you.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
I tried the solution u proposed, but I can only see 1.1 gb and if I go on storage on the phone settings, it says the external storage is mounted, but nothing about the 26gb or so of the internal storage, which in fact I can't see at all in my ubuntu nautilus.

don't really know how to deal with this...which version of ubuntu do u have?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Hi memfel

I just tried it on another laptop and noticed my tutorial was not complete.

Please read my edited Tutorial again. I am quite sure it will work like that.

Thanks for your response
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
hi, thanks. now the difference is that it asks me if I want to use rhythmbox to see the connected device...nonetheless, still I can only see 1.5 gb partition, and not the all drive of the phone...that is, I can't move any file, because of those 1.5 gb most are already occupied... really don't know how to manage this, it's kinda crazy...

I found an app that seems to work, but the free version allows only to move 1 file or so...I can see 25gb there, through the web browser, but I find it so incredible that I'd need to pay for an app to do such a simple thing such as being able to connect the phone to my laptop and move files around...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Did you copy the libusb file to the right path?

Does it change something, if you enable the usb debugging mode?

If you don't succed with a USB connection you could still use airdroid. It works with wifi tethering or over a wlan router.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
nope USB debugging doesn't seem to make any difference.

what I'm trying now is to force a copy of some gb of files, also if it shows no space. I realized after making a video that when the space that get showed up is full, then it shows more, so it went from 1.5gb to 4.4...don't know why such a move, but seems like there's a bug perhaps somewhere.

'Funny' thing is, to copy 2gb it's taking 1h....do u also need all this time?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Just tested it: It took me about 3 minutes to copy a 2 GB video to the phone.

Did you flash a newer Firmware? Do you have root access?

I have rooted my XPS, but i don't see why this should make a difference...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
not rooted still, and no firmware change...really have no idea why it works this way...it's really weird I think.

Forcing copy didn't work, I got errors at one point, and all got blocked. Also, some files were copied on the phone, but when I tried to open the directory I copied, nautilus continued to crash all the time, so I am also not able to access the files that I copied...

I guess it's something broken with my ubuntu installation...perhaps going to be solved with 12.04...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Yes, they will hopefully integrate full MTP support into Ubuntu 12.

Just don't try to update your (broken) system from 11 to 12 with the update manager ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
let's hope I have the time to do a new install by the time 12 comes out. but in the meantime, if u have any other idea...let me know.

just to be precise...how many gb do u see when u connect ur phone?

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

well, I retried to copy files over the allowed and visible size, it worked quite faster, and there I go, there appear some more gb of visible space...around 4.5 now...not all the disk, but still, it might mean the space shows up when needed even if at first it seems it's not there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
gparted and other partition managers do not list the phone, because it's not a mass storage device. So where did you find a size of the volume?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
when u open nautilus, u will have the phone showing up...u find the name of the device on the left pane, but also on top of the pane where u see files and folders once u click on the device to open it.

if u do right click on the name above this folders and files pane, u select properties, and there u go...u see the size of the disk...;)

hope the description is clear enough!;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Nice, didn't know that so far.

Here is a Screenshot of what i see
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
I guess u might see all that space perhaps because u have already a lot of stuff on the phone, or because u are rooted and somehow this influenced the connection...nonetheless, interesting that when I connect the phone via that web app that I found, it was showing me 25gb, u seem to have more...

Do u know what all the other space to 32gb is for? apps and system? or what? seems kinda lot of space that can't seem to be accessed.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
See the calculation here:

www.fischerclan.de/byte_umrechner.html

So the 32GB should be like 29.8GB on our system.

I see only 27.7 of it, so there are like 2GB on some kind of hidden partition. Don't ask me, what they use it for :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] memfel:
interesting. and rooting doesn't make those gb more available...perhaps we'll see more when roms start coming out!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Yes, can't wait for CM9!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hercule18:
Hi,

Same as memfel for me.

I only see a 1.8g partition after the installation of libmtp.

One thing that could explains some others in the first post the phone is identified like this:

whereas mien is seen like this
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
What version of libmtp did you install?

Have you tried adding your device id manually?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eva_d:
As I mentioned in the other thread, there is limited support for accessing Xperia S storage out of the box in Fedora 16. Namely, I could browse the files, copy files into XS but couldn't copy any files from it.

So, after applying udev rules you've suggested (btw, no need to reboot,

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

will suffice) I can confirm that accessing internal storage is now two-way, hell yeah! I can see 20-odd GB of free space, however gMTP still doesn't recognize the device, as well as Rhythmbox. Banshee only recognizes it after adding ".is_audio_player" file in root of XS, however doesn't find any music in it.

Nonetheless, two-way data transferring via Nautilus is what I care about most, so I'm happy. Thanks for working solution to this!

UPDATE:

Ooops, looks like two-way doesn't exactly work as expected. Not sure what I did wrong but now I can't copy files from XS again. :/ Will need to tinker around it a little bit more...

UPDATE 2:

Some file are copying from XS happily, some don't throwing either "unspecified" or "unsupported" error in Nautilus. Weird..

Difference between:

and:

Bus 002 Device 012: ID 0fce:5169 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

is determined by USB debugging mode. Ideally you'd like your udev rules to read:

Hi everyone,

I tried these techniques to make my USB connection work. I installed libtmp1.1.3 as recommended, checked the rules.d, everything fine. It did work yesterday after a lot of frustration, though my phone was only recognized by Gmtp (nothing on Nautilus or on Clementine).

lsusb says exactly what it should:

Bus 002 Device 015: ID 0fce:0169 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

But when I tried to connect it today I get these logs from Gmtp:

libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/002: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.
libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/001/008: Permission denied.
libusb requires write access to USB device nodes.
Device 0 (VID=0fce and PID=0169) is a SONY Xperia S.
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt
Detect: Unable to open raw device?

Any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
Did you try mounting the device with nautilus after the reboot?

For me it did never work with gmtp or any music sync software.

Also make shure, you plug your cable to a USB2 port, not USB3.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Angralon:
And if you have root access, use Doomlord's MSC Mode. It works better than MTP.
