[General Questions and Answers] erg.cgs:
The fact that you cant even get the card to show up as mounted in Windows is not a good sign.

Was there important stuff on there? If so, you could try one of the SD Card recovery programs. I've used them in the past, but if you cant even get it to mount in the PC, they are probably not going to work.

But, to me, it sounds like the card is busted. Do you have another one you could test the phone and adapter with? If not, try and exchange it if it isnt too old.

Tried putting it into another phone and its still showing up as Unmounted with no option to remount it.

What's her SD?

Some fast and high capacity micro SDHC are damaged I don't know why. I tried once a Patriot 32gb class 10 and it got broken in about 1 month of usage. The same occurred with a Sandisk 16gb class 10. Don't know if it's an app that is causing it. Now I'm using a Samsung 16gb class 2 normally. The broken SD were recognized in Windows as RAW partition.

I tried some Fixers without success. You may try them.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstagg:
Ok, I'm really sweating bullets here...

I had installed Cyanogenmod ICS alpha2 on my TouchPad and had spent all day on that tablet - loving the new lease on life it had. Before I went to sleep last evening it had like 10% power left. I plugged it in with the official Touchpad charger and left it charging until I woke up the next morning - a full 8 hours later.

To my surprise, it had 0 power left. Nada. Zip. I had checked the outlet and it was fully plugged in at both the tablet and the outlet to the wall. I knew I had turned off the tablet.

Now that it has 0% power - how in the heck am I supposed to boot into Palm mode to charge the battery (as I have heard that that is a work-around)?

I could really use your help here - many thanks.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Not sure if its the same problem...but I noticed recently that whenever i let my tp go down below 10%...and i hook up the charger...it doesnt charge at all...even with charger hooked up..battery drains....So when its 0% and I boot into WebOS to charge to fully....

For your issue, if your TP is dead...do you see battery sign when hooked to wall charger? if you do then wait for some time (mine takes 15-20 mins)...it will boot up..if your android is default then it will boot into android....without removing it from the charger...boot it into webos and charge...

If you cant do this..get it fixed by HP
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindewmi:
What does it do when you plug it in?

First take the power adapter and twist off the bottom part and put it back on. When you connect it, do you get the battery "charging" symbol?

What I do is let it charge enough to hit moboot, then if I catch it in time I choose webOS and let it charge a little then reboot to CM, unplug the charger for a few seconds, then reconnect it. If it boots direct to CM the first time (moboot default) it's going to stay 'charging' but doesn't change from 0%. In that case, reboot and either go to webOS or reboot into CM9 a few times till it shows 1%... then disconnect the charger a few seconds and reconnect.

No matter what level the battery is at, if you boot into CM with the charger connected it will not charge. You have to unplug it for a few seconds and then reconnect it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstagg:
When I am hooked to wall charger, I see the battery symbol with the red line on it showing that battery is extremely low - in my case battery is dead. It won't even boot up when I take it off the charger. I just get the power cord symbol.

I have even been able to turn off the touchpad completely (since the TP has been on 0% power) by holding in volume up and power buttons simultaneously. I have no idea how I knew to do this - perhaps it was desperation. So I have even attempted to charge it via the wall outlet and waited a couple hours that way - but no change. It still has squat power.

Everything I've read is that once you've rooted the touchpad to a different OS, HP will no longer support it. Not sure where I would go to get it fixed by them either? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Hopefully it won't come to that though. Besides, the Mrs would kill me. :]
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstagg:
Just tried twisting off the bottom of the HP charger and reattaching and am just getting the power plug icon.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindewmi:
I installed CM7 in my friends TP back when that was the current release and about a month ago it went dead, wouldn't power up at all (no battery icon) and they still took it and repaired it with no problems.

In your case though I think you are fine... just leave it charging in that screen for a while. Then do a home/menu + power button reboot (15+ seconds) and see if you can get moboot. It may go back to the charging screen but thats fine, give it more time and try again. A few of my coworkers have the same problem sometimes and they come running to me, lol.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstagg:
Guess you can add me to one of those unfortunate souls you can add to your list who keeps running back to you. :]

My question to you is - where did they take it back to? Do you have a URL showing a shipping address? Sure, HP HQ is a few miles away from me - but am not about to go knocking on their door and say "Yeah, uh - can you fix this?" Besides that is a corporate HQ - not a manufacturing plant.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvcduty:
I have two TPs and one (older one by about a month) has the connector going loose... It usually charges fine but once in a while, it fails to connect. Depending on the angle of the way the tablet meets the micro usb I will sometimes fail to connect it properly.

My other one has a very tight micro ubs port and it's hard to plug in, but it works fine everytime...

So my point is, make sure you have an actual connection when you plug in for charge.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dung8604:
Dunno if I'm just lucky or what, but my tp died on the way to work this morning, so I plugged it in when I got here, got the red battery symbol, and let it charge for about half an hour. Here is where I am now:

View attachment 1001477

I should also note that it died in cm9, showed the battery screen, then when I checked it next, it had 7% or so in cm9 as well. Never had to boot into webOS for anything.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstagg:
OK, did exactly what you said and plugged it in w/battery indicator in the red and walked away for a few hours. When I came back just now so far it was at 93%. Can I get a Hallelujah?

Ok, can anyone tell me what to do to prevent this from happening again in the future? Do I have to do any routine cache cleanup (?) or other general maintenance? Will booting into WebOS to charge before battery gets too low always work?

Thanks again folks-

Booting in WebOS before battery gets too low and charging in webos always works for me
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wpra3:
Last time i drain my battery to 0% for the calibration. But it charges just fine after that.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindewmi:
I'm glad it worked for you! I would say just don't let it fully drain, lol. If it does, just repeat the steps and you should be ok. And you don't need to boot into webOS when it is low, you can plug it in while in android and it will be fine, as long as the battery isn't at 0% which is when it shuts off.

Mine is actually at the same point right now, fully drained.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
Sometimes mine doesn't charge....because the USB cord gets ever so slightly slightly unplugged from the adapter.

Be sure to try that in the future.

I got an old Motorola sd9 headset I've been using, was given to me for free and I think it's dying. Audio cuts in and out all the time, seems to get worse in my pocket and the buttons at starting to come off. The audio is the biggest thing. Is this just a nature of the beast? Which one does everyone recommend? I just din wanna buy another and have the same issues. Seems when I stick my phone in my pocket it cuts in and out even worse.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Well after 2 hours of reading reviews and having 6 different headsets in my cart, I ended up buying the arctic sound one for $27 off amazon. Biggest selling point was the first review was from a former SD-9 owner complaining about how the SD-9 would intermittently skip for no reasons, and the Arctic sound one had flawless signal. There were many other factors too for my decision, but that was the ultimate one. I mean there was a nice GoGear headset that looked a lot like a jaybird I was very close to buying and then one review mentioned having the same issue I'm having with my SD-9. I also really wanted one that went around the back of the neck. Also 4 star rating if I recall, the other one was another generic one similar design with a 4 1/2 star rating. The one review comparing it directly to the SD-9 was the tie breaker. Wish me luck!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] shogunmark:
repost after you have a chance to test them... i have the Moto's also and have always had the intermittent sound problem. I would love to replace them.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Will do!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Kept meaning to report back but I kept forget. Anyway the arctic sound headset is awesome! Audio quality is world's ahead actual has bass an fits just as nice. I've used them probably 4 hours this far and no signal loss what so ever. Only times the signal cut out were the phones fault: ie accessing data, syncing. A lot of reviewers complain about the build quality but for $27 I expected worse. Imo people think that motos have great build quality because of the unibody design but truth be told they are no better than this set. And that's another thing, the arctic sound actually fold up and come with a case for easy pocket storage when your not using them.

There are however 2 things moto does better. First is the lightweight and stylish design of the sd9. It looks good on your head. The arctic sound looks ridiculous. You look like your wearing a star wars droid costume with the arctic sound while the sd9 just looks literally like 2 pairs of Bluetooth headsets stuck together. The other problem is button layout and feel. With the sd9 I could easily skip, pause, or turn up and down the volume as necessary and the buttons were hard and stuck out so you could feel them easily with your fingers. The arctic sound pair isn't as well thought out. Their are 5 buttons on the right side and no dedicated call button, instead there is a gigantic "multifunction" button that controls power, call, and play and pause buttons through various button combinations that can get confusing. For instance voice dialing is holding 2 seconds, power off is 5 seconds. Redial is tap twice, play and pause are default. The skip forward, backwards, vol up and down are arranged in a cross pattern around it. They don't stick out very well so you gotta kind of feel around to push the correct button.

Inspite of these minor shortcomings overall it's a better headset than the Motorola and a steal for $27. Highly recommend
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bigballa:
I had those Motorola SD-9hds also. I would keep the phone near to my face and it would still skip?! I was so frustrated. I spent like 70$ on that!

But I finally got fed up and bought the plantronics back beats. Best investment ever.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
It was a relief to know other people had the skipping issue too. I was worried it was just the nature of the beast. I thought it was my captivate originally causing the problem but then I upgraded to the vivid and same issue

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES!!!

This recovery is based on ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7

This tutorial will not guide you how to flash a fully working touch-recovery, but how to flash recovery with touch buttons :P

Remember to take a Nandroid Backup before you do this.

1. Download this Zip-file: http://www41.zippyshare.com/d/83741517/337548/recovery.zip

2. Extract it to the root of your SD-Card (Place it directly on the SD Card, not in any folder)

3. Run Terminal Emulator (or download from Google Play/Android Market and then run it)

4. Write: su (Press Allow if you get that option)

5. Write: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

You're Done :P

Reboot into Recovery Mode and you will have four touch-buttons at the bottom :D

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doortodoorsalesman:
I have a i9020a Google nexus s I bought in Canada last year. I was on O2 network in the uk, but they pissed me off by turning off my data so much for unlimited data?

I got a sim card from 3UK and gave them the pak number to transfer my old phone number. They said it might act funny until the number is ported, but it was over last weekend so it took for ever..

Now my number is on my new sim but I can only make or recieve 1 phone call after a reboot. After that I can make calls but the phone seems to be muted I can't hear anything and they can't hear me.

Everything else works 3G internet text messages etc.

I just updated the phone to 4.0.4 update therought the phone itself the other day, I don't seem to have any problems with any other sim cards (i.e. O2, Virgin, etc.)

I've already got a replacement 3UK sim card but it does the same thing? sim card works in another phone though without problems.

Should I change the kernal I am using Kernel version: 3.0.8-g6656123 android-build@vpbs1 #1 Thurs Feb 2 16:56:02 PST 2012

I have just rooted the phone and now have CWM

I have never changed the kernel do I just put it on the phone then use CWM to update it?

I was hoping that might fix it maybe a custon kernal built for uk networks?

Thanks in advance,

Really need my phone to work again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Flinchie:
So....

Without dropping it, nor can i remember leaning on anything etc etc the inner screen has cracked, its a small (1cm diameter) area thats shattered in the lower right corner.

Ive read some other threads, but none about forcing usb for droid razr. From what ive read the advice is just try and go as high up and complain and hope they repair it under warranty, but so far they keep telling me it must of been from misuse =/

I need to get my contacts and photos for uni, the removable drive comes up but it hasnt mounted anything. Ive tried holding power and vol - and booting it like that, but to no avail....

currently installing adb and hoping I can figure out a way to mount it through that

Cheers for any help =)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Sorry to hear that. I have heard those stories that the phone screen cracks all of the sudden with no reason.Ex: People will be holding or talking to their phone and screen cracks on it. I am sorry but warranty does not cover that. I would suggest you to be prepared for that. If you have insurance thats geat but if you dont call verizon(if you are with verizon) ask them to add TEC(total equipment coverage). they have open enrollment right now.

Then you can file insurance claim. Hope it helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Flinchie:
A motorola tech said that physical damage voids warranty but I can get it checked by a verified tech and if it's found to be caused from a factory defect it'll be covered. I've heard of gas buildup from defective battery causing it, but the phone was only a month n a half old....

Also, im guessing its the lcd screen thats cracked, but how can I tell if the digitalizer is as well?

Get a ROM with a kernel that supports Voodoo Sound, then get the Voodoo Sound app from the Market/Play (it's free), and turn it on. Once you do, adjust the hardware slider to +3 or even +5 if you absolutely want to go totally deaf, then adjust the analog slider to 0 or +3 and wham, instant high quality sound that's light years above the stock Captivate audio capability from Samsung.

Did this just yesterday with my Captivate and the only way to use words to explain the difference is basically to pull a Keanu Reeves and say...

"Whoa..."

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Not sure which build of Doc's you used, but I know that when I tried one of them coming from stock, it gave me the i987 KK4 modem. If you flashed slim after that, you would still have the KK4 modem. If that is the case, try using a i9000 modem since that's what you're supposed to use with ICS. I really don't know if it will affect the MMS, but it's worth a try. How's your data working?

[HTC Sensation] cichlidiot:
Hey Guys.

I've been ROM-ing the Sensation on and off since July.

Been on CoreDroid 2 upwards but got a bit fed up of Sense so tried a few others.

I like MIUI but if I wanted an IPhone perhaps I should have got one!

I've returned to the idea of Sense so long as its not OTT.

I'm on CoreDroid (5.1) which looks pretty slick.

Tried the ARHD rom last week and that is really good also.

Extreme Sensation Dream 3 was nice too but when I tried to upgrade (twice) to 5 I got a black start screen!

Ever since I saw the HTC One I wanted that look ... OrDroid 2 is good but no BT or Tether more importantly is a killer. When that is sorted this ROM will be cool!

Man, 4ext Recovery has really brough the ROMing thing on ... I can switch back to any backup in a twinkling.

Tremendous work from all you guys and thanks.

(I've donated occasionally and it must be time to do another one.)

Well, I tried other Core Droids 3.5 through 5.0 and none has given battery life like this one. the 4g available in my area allows the phone to stream and download faster, the other ROM lagged a bit and was not responsive (multitasking). No WiFi issues with 5.1.
