[Dell Streak 7] 5uprem3:
I have a T-Mobile Dell Streak 7 that is currently on 2.2 that I would like to update to HC using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286295

However, knowing that there is a risk in bricking my device if steps are not followed carefully I am hoping to receive aid from the community. The guide may be clear to others, however I don't understand much of it.

One of my main questions is if I need to have an external SD card to update my device. Another one of my questions is, is there any newbie tutorials on this forum on how to update my device that uses the downloads in the thread that I've shown above or a video tutorial that is out there they may help me.

I've been wanting to update my device for a long time now but I've been skeptical because I'm new to Android and all of the tutorials that I've went through lack details.

Thank you.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
More or less yes when it comes to the external SD, the stock recovery only checks the external one for pkgs
[Dell Streak 7] 5uprem3:
What kind of SD card do I have to use?

I thought a pro duo memory card would fit into the slot, however the slot is huge so I didn't dare put it in there; I didn't want my S7 to swallow it up.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Do you have a converter? a MS and SD card arnt compatable without converters.
[Dell Streak 7] 5uprem3:
Damn, no. This all seems way too complicated..

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Ok well let me just start off by saying. I LOVE this forum and the helpful and friendly people. Lemme give ya a run down on what I'm rockin' on this marvelous piece of technology.

Bootloader Unlocked - Check

Root - Check

R800x Timescape UK Firmware ROM - Check

V6 Supercharger - Check (Could use help making it start on boot.)

Better Battery Stats - Check (Could also use some more help since I'm a noob XD. More below!)

Battery Life - QUESTIONABLE

And here lies my problem here. Ever since I switched to the UK Firmware from Verizon's I've noticed the phones true potential and love the UK Firmware. However what is up with the terrible battery life? I've tried everything... It seems to DRAIN 1% every 5 minutes when I'm at school!!

BetterBatteryStats talks about wakelocks. I get this one sometimes called UID and have no idea what it is, and have looked for a solution but found never in ACTUAL terms I could understand. Also there's a blue bar and a red bar on the stats for those. Can someone please tell me the difference between them?

I've deleted Juice Defender as some people said it actually DRAINS your battery more. I've also heard this phone lasts sometimes 3-4 days on a FULL CHARGE?! I'd like that please! :O

Well when I'm at school I put my phones Brightness to 30%, Vibrate, and off WiFi.

I listen to Music and that seems to drain the battery ALOT more than I think it should.

Also, when playing Asphalt 6 HD, I was at 57% battery, I played for maybe under 10 minutes and had 44% LEFT!!! That's TERRIBLE!

Can someone please tell me how to make my battery last like others have it?

I also have 2X Battery installed but disabled and only showing my battery % on my taskbar up top.

Thanks again in advance for your answers and I hope I have provided enough info. THANKS!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If u don't use it during school then power it off. Also kill some tasks so your phone won't work hard and kill morw battery life.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
I do use it during school. Sometimes as a Calculator, to text my family or if they have to call me in case of emergencies. I also game on it at lunch or listen to music when on a free period so...

And I do kill tasks all the time. It seems to just open themselves back up. Also I played Dead Space last night with 100% charge for maybe about an hour or 2 and the damn battery drained down to 55%!!!

I was on WiFi as well...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightningdude:
You honestly can't expect a game such as that to run on this phone and merely sip at the battery's juice. The percentage remaining when coming out of an intensive task, such as watching video or playing a game, isn't entirely accurate. Check the battery again after a few minutes of idle time, and it should be a little higher than it was before.

I use an app called Battery Defender. It's very easy to set up, and the main option is to kill the 3G data while the screen is off. You're still able to receive calls and texts and such, but the data is off, since you're not using it. That saves a lot of battery for me. You can also set it on a timed profile, where it shuts off all network connectivity during a set time.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Thanks I'll give that app a try.

Also I just feel I'm being mis-leaded by others then. Because I read on the android Forums people play games from 1-2 hours, stop, go to the store or mall for like 5 hours, come home, play again for another hour, and sleep and wake up with it at 7% charge or something.

Are you saying ti's normal for my battery to suck that much juice on Dead Space?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
Dead Space is one of the most graphics intensive games you'll get to see in this phone. It's not Cut the Rope...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Well.. despite my other questions is anyone able to answer them..? ABout the battery stats app and such?

Also what would seem to be a normal rate of 1% battery loss? How many mins or hours do you think seems normal?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Did you wipe your battery stats before installing the rom? Let it drain to 0%, charge it without interruption? after that then you must let it drain fully and recharge too 100% without interruption again. This will "train" the battery. I have a battery calibration app if you'd like to use it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick_G:
I would suggest you to do a fresh install. Wipe everything and start afresh. Don't restore anything and see what happens.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Yes I have done this. But ONCE. I haven't let it die again yet. Using Battery Defender is saving it's battery atm. Should I kill it again and let it do so?

Also for the Battery Calibration don't I have to do some weird thing with getting the phone to power on without the battery?

Thanks for your input, but I have too many things on my phone right now that I would lose. I wouldn't want to lose all my data.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Make a backup of all your data, then do a fresh install. The battery calibration app is simple, charge your phone to 100% and click calibrate. Then let it die to 0% and fully charge without any disruption..it's pretty simple :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Must I make a fresh install or can I do it without a fresh install?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightningdude:
The battery calibration has nothing to do with a full wipe and reinstall. The fresh install is simply to fix problems that you are having, that no one else has, or doesn't have in such great force.

If you're worried about losing your data, get an app called Titanium Backup. It will allow you to backup your apps and app data to your sd card, then restore them at any time you deem necessary. There is a free version, but I would definitely recommend buying the unlock key. It makes your restores faster, and enables some specific functions that are locked out of the free version. This is my third Android phone, and the app has proven its usefulness time and time again, across each of them. It's the best way to port installed apps from phone to phone, as well.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Here's the thing. I have Titanium Backup. XD And also, I have done a Fresh Install before because I had this ROM then I switched to ICS Beta which was terrible so I fresh installed the UK Rom again and it didn't make a difference to when I had it before ICS BETA, so does that count? x.x
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Where can I get the app? :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightningdude:
Is your battery life any different now than it was before the ICS beta?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
Well...it seemed my battery life was better on the STOCK Verizon ROM but that ROM sucks for everything else..
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squall429:
So does anyone have the link to that battery calibrator app?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tito_mafia:
Hi guys,

So I was running one of the tmob stock-modified roms for i9020A, and when the official update came out I reverted back to my backup of stock GB, restored my backed-up apps, flashed official 2.3.6 again, then updated to official 4.0.4 from the stock recovery.

To my surprise the rom had a problem with the phone and it would show me error messages with "phone stopped working" then reboot every 2 mins or so (same happens with wifi as well), when I disabled all connections and put it on airplane mode it worked fine and did not reboot.

I tried re-updating from stock recovery but it would show me the dead android, and would refuse to update giving me a "status 7" error.

The update i used was the official from the google servers, so there is no chance I used another device's.

Any ideas?????????!!!!!!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savantist:
yes, I have...

enter fastboot mode, flash CWM, and then mount USB storage, copy full zip 4.0.3 and ota zip 4.0.4, wipe all, flash full zip 4.0.3, and then ota zip 4.0.4... :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tito_mafia:
NVM it was much easier than that lol

I formatted my phone from stock recovery and it worked like a charm, i think the reason why that happened is that i restored apps from ics to GB before updating.

anyways now thats over

Thanks :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MiscBec:
Hey Stewart,

I've been following that other thread (the one that vanished) since it popped up, and a lot of the pages were full of comments exactly like yours.

It appeared to me that some people were able to fill out a form on the Asus site last night, but after a certain point no one was getting the registration page any longer. Some people had tried calling customer service, and most reported back that the person they spoke to either didn't know what they were talking about, or knew what they were referencing but that it wasn't official yet so there was nothing they could really do (some took contact info down, but who knows about what the follow-up will be for that).

Now that the whole thread has disappeared, and especially with demandarin's comments on the fact it vanished, my general sense is that the whole thing just came out too early, before Asus had everything in place to start taking in all of the requests. It sounds like it should all be made official soon though, and my guess would be that they will put out info in the media and through this site as to how to go about sending in your info then.

So I wouldn't worry about it now. Track some of the threads (or just check in with Gary Key's unofficial post updates), and join the rest of us in the waiting game...

I actually didn't as there was no eject on it. I was unaware that MTP even had to be ejected. I figured that might be the cause afterwards but it was still as as it completely corrupted all the files - to the extent that the data couldn't even have been recovered.

Encryption...

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong or I don't understand encryption....

I am attempting to add an exchange account that requires certain security features to be enabled, including storage encryption. It appears that this ROM has encryption enabled (running version AR31), but after going through the steps to begin the encryption process, the phone (Inspire 4G) arrives at the screen with the green wireframe android robot and does not leave the screen. Nothing appears to be happening, even after leaving the phone to perform its process overnight. I also tried a full data wipe, both from the UI and recovery, formatting the SD card, reloading the ROM... still no luck.

So, does this ROM really support encryption and I'm doing something wrong, or is encryption not working like it should? Any help is much appreciated, as I really like the cleanliness and simplicity of this ROM.

Edit: An additional note & question... I am giving IceColdSandwich a try and notice that the same exchange account does not require storage encryption with this ROM (didn't with gingerbread roms either). Is this a result of CM? Is there some add-on or modification one can make to bypass the encryption requirement? Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnrs:
what is the difference between rom AOSPX by existz and IceColdSandwich by Lord Clockan ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chop Top:
As I understand it, and somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM is essentially the raw OS as it would be straight from google with no modification. IceColdSandwich on the other hand has influences of CyanogenMod, which adds extra features that would not be included on the AOSP ROM.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnrs:
thanks !

Hi, I was trying out BR1 a few days ago and found out that it doesnt play video (Stock Google gallery or Quickpic Gallery). Is it because of the lack of native hardware encoding/decoding libraries in the kernel/ROM?

If it is then that would mean,we will have to wait till HTC gives out the Kernel 3.0 source. (AFAIK lack of native hardware encoding/decoding libraries is also the reason of non function stock Video Cam, correct me if I am wrong tho).

Please recommend a video player that would work nicely with the ROM. I really liked the fluidity of the rom. Great work existz.

Did you go SuperCID? CID Getter from the market (play) may point to the original CID for your phone if you are SuperCID. Then you would know which FW to download and flash. I am SuperCID and CID getter still shows my original CID T-MOB010. It may work for you too.
[General Questions and Answers] Xyl3r:
I did SuperCID.

CIDgetter doesn't show my original CID. It's only shows CID 11111111
[General Questions and Answers] anactoraaron:
After doing some research your CID likely originally was HTC__044.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195475

That is for HTC ASIA WWE. If you see a CID that stands out to you form that list as being more applicable to your phone then go with that:)

Which means the 1.17 FW you should flash is HTC Part 1 (second 1.17 link down).

I also noticed that FW covers every other HTC ASIA CID (HTC__622, HTC__001, HTC__037) so that one should be safe. Do note that there are 2 underscores and CIDs are 8 characters in length. Hope that helps!:D
