[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Stand alone devices are about the best way to get a true rating on your batteries but not really worth running out and buying.

Generally speaking, any battery being the same size as stock and claiming twice the performance is probably lying.

I'm going to try the anker ones for grins but I'm not going to have illusions of magic performance gains.

Sent from my not-an-iPod
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
The extended batteries I have are twice as big as stock and require a specially made backing
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theraffman:
The maker of the battery does make a difference, I myself have always suck with Anker, I have tried some cheaper variants but have always been disappointed.

Bottom line though, you won't find an app that will accurately tell the mAh rating, you will require a stand alone device to determine this. If you can control every aspect of the os and run a series of tests with each battery and determine life by use... I would start by returning to stock, going in to airplane mode then use a high power consumption app by itself from 100% to 0. Do this with both batteries, theoretically your 3500 mAh battery should last about twice as long as the stock 1750 mAh battery. Good luck
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
Ok thanks, well try it and report back
[HTC One X] fletchem:
I maybe missing a trick here, but on the contact cards my Desire there was an option to send messages (SMS) to a person's stored numbers. On my HOX, I only get the option to dial numbers. I cannot see any option to enable 'send message to number' on the HOX, has it been removed from Sense/ICS? :confused:
[HTC One X] GioDoe:
If you tap and hold your finger on the cellphone number you get a set of alternative actions, amongst which the possibility of sending a message (eitehr SMS or whatsupp in my case)
[HTC One X] fletchem:
DOH! Thanks.

I always preach the "long press" to others and completely forgot to do it myself. Although, in my defence, it's not very obvious and I cannot find it in the manual.
[HTC One X] GioDoe:
To be honest, I did not find either when I read your message at first. I know that the long press should be the first option to check, but I always end up using it as a last resort :)
[HTC One X] mathrania:
When you open the contact, there is a "message" icon on the right most side of the number...press it to compose message.
[HTC One X] fletchem:
I must be going blind - I completely missed that as well - ha ha

[General Questions and Answers] Jarmezrocks:
Is it just my phone and Ice Cream Sandwich or is it every ROM that has this problem?

Oh and before you ask I have installed a fair amount of ROMs on my phone so I am fairly seasoned...(not a noob comment), it was the same in 4.03 and I have found its no different in 4.04.

Gingerbread and Froyo on the same phone could find words within a text message; they could both find words in Mms, and names of people. Ice Cream Sandwich cant even find a text message 3 messages below the top message with any combination of searching for words either within or words as names of people by or too. It just plain sucked full stop! Its by far the worst search function I have come across.....actually it doesn't find anything, so it IS the worst search function I have come across.

Last ROM i built was purely from the latest 4.04 Nexus S download and granted I am using a Galaxy S (which is why I asked the first question above) but surely this has to be improved some way somehow?

I am going to look into it my self, but if there are any Devs or anyone on the forum that wants to give a hand/collaborate/share/solve or offer any kind of information to contribute please do so.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kyriakos98:
Hello everyone...I have right now a x10 mini(E10i) with nAa-11 kernel and MiniCM7 2.2.0 installed(thanks to nAa)

So because x10 minis have small internal for apps and also have small processor and ram it can't handle heavy apps and games and this a big disadvantage by my opinion...so i want to buy a new phone...or a tablet for personal and family use as the laptop died...so what do u suggest me??

1)Xperia Neo V

2)Xperia Mini(not x10 mini)

3)Motorola XOOM

4)Something else(either phone or tablet)

I am going to give 350 euro for buying a tablet or 200 euro for buying phone...

I will also keep my x10 mini just for calls,sms and apps and games(not heavy...without a2sd ofcourse..)

Also(sorry for 2nd time) please post only if you choose the 4th option at the poll...Thanks for reading and voting...:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Elwino2.3:
I suggest motorola xoom :D, because motorola xoom have great performance

If phone I suggest neo/neo v :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kyriakos98:
Please Vote...!

Guys u can also vote...

C'mon now...I need your opinion...:(:(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lthy31:
I suggest Samsung Galaxy S Advance, but it's not released to some country yet. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kyriakos98:
Good Idea...

Also..what about tablet(cuz i see that i will keep the phone and buy a tablet..)

I want to be very good at graphics and performance and ofcourse with hdmi slot...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sysal:
Hello everyone!

I am new to xda. This is my first post. I have been trying to install J.Y Daddy's boot recovery. The problem that I am getting is that after I had installed RazrBootstrap, I could not install the zip file ‘RAZR-CWMOnBoot-Global-J.Y.Daddy.zip’.

I did the following

install zip from sdcard

choose zip from sdcard

it gives this error

"E:Can't mount /sdcard/"

I dont have a sdcard (external) on my phone. Is there any solution to this problem? I am following this thread
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Mobzter:
it works off external sdcard only (as far as i know.. unless someone knows another way)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ajparag:
Hi Bala,

WOW! Great work. Finally, there is someone who is creating ROMs for low-end smart phone users.

Bala, would you mind creating a ROM for Spice MI 270.

I know it is the lowest android phone one can imagine but a custom ROM can boost LIFE in it. Do reply to this post whatever you think of it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] balamu96m:
Dude, I too have this phone. But without a modded recovery, I can't touch the phone for modding.....because I need backup/restore to bring the phone to working condition in case I made a mistake......

if anyone finds a working recovery,i can help you !!

Some more tips:

(to try the following, first root your phone with z4root app)

Try googling for a backup script for MTK6516 mobile phones....chinese websites like 4pda.com & china-iphone.com will be having them....

If you find any script, Download it & run the sript with 'gscript' app...

If everything went well, you'll have your phone's .img files in ur sdcard (mostly in 'Backup_' folder in sdcard) .

Now try downloading different recoveries for MTK6516 mobile phones, which will be availabe in the above mentioned websites.....

Flash the recoveries with 'Mobile uncle tools' app. After that, boot into recovery mode & check whether its working...

If its not working, then flash the one (recovery.img) which you backed with gscript......

If you find a working recovery, pm me. If you don't understand something above, ask me !! :D

Good luck !!

CWM Recovery issues

Hi,

I tried CWM recovery first using mobile uncle tools but on restarting the phone is stuck at spice logo with Recovery mode written underneath. So I had to use modded recovery2.

One more issue, I tried to reply through xda app but it says "invalid topc ID". any ideas what went wrong here? same when I tried the app for "quote" (for this specific topic only)

There are no plans of doing CM9?:confused:

Be patient, first we have to wait for the kernel sources to be released. Then it will be there pretty quick I think, there are more devices with Tegra3 and CM9 like the Asus Transformer Prime, so that's a big headstart.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x5starguerillaa:
Hello People,

Ive just recieved my Galaxy Note, I have come from a HTC One X. I have always had HTC phones but was let down in my experiance with the One X.

Ive been reading the Dev thread and a few TUTS and from what I understand, I need to, Downgrade my firmware to a rootable version, CWM and then im good to go! Also I need the ICS repack if Im going to dable with the ICS roms out there.

I havent used Odin since my Galaxy Tab left, I may be a little rusty, I had read about the creation of Mobile Odin but havent used it at all.

Just wondering if any of you kind people have any major DO's or DO NOTs, also a gent over on the One X forum that had a Note mentioned to me that he had a "Unbrick device" of some sort that he picked up for a couple of quid? Anyone know anything more?

TIA.

The device is called a jig and you can get one for a buck at dealextreme
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempusFudgeIt:
Best DO #1 - make a backup first!

BEST DO #2 - read the forums!

BEST DO # 3 - always wait at least a day once a ROM is released on the forums before updating - and always read the responses from the last 24 hours. Amazing how many people report wonderful battery life ..... after using it for about 3 hours! May seem harsh, but there seem to be a lot of easily pleased people out there.

Don't get me wrong - I do appreciate all of the dev and chef work. But do read initial posts ... PLUS >>>I'm waiting for a N7700 based ICS, it seems that all current ones are based on SGII.

Good luck... and Respect Your Note :)

After playing with it stock, im happy at the moment. Obviously its a completely different experiance from HTC and so its probably the novelty factor, but im liking the built in magazines/newspapers and the UI is livable with.

I unlocked using HTC Dev, installed EXT4 recovery did a full nandroid backup, restored it back to confirm that everything worked fine.

This was nandroid back up with everything stock on the phone. It all worked fine till here.

I then installed some custom ROMs, tested them then I decided to go back to my previous nandroid backup. Each time a ROM was installed I flashed boot.img file from bootloader.

I restored nandroid backup, flashed boot.img from nandroid backup from bootloader and rebooted the phone. It was stuck on HTC logo and then it booted into recovery and now whenever I boot it shows htc logo and then boots into recovery. :(

Is there any way to restore the backup and get everything working as before i.e stock rom.

My handset is from Taiwan so I do not have the latest RUU, I tried to install Europe latest RUU using a gold card but it fails giving error ID 131

[HTC Desire S] hemal_s33:
Flashed via fastboot but no luck phone boots shows htc logo for some time then reboots into recovery. :(
[HTC Desire S] lynxnoon:
Ur boot.img maybe corrupted

Happened to me also

Lock your fone back with htcdev and flash drive TUU for your fone or you can try to get the get d boot.img file from the RUU by starting it and then going to the temp file in your pc copy a ROM zip file... From there extract d boot.img file and flash it to your fone via fastboot

If that doesn't work then you may have to go with the option of relocking it and then flashing the specific RUU for the fone

Cheers

Hi

I returned home from holiday the other day to my TF101 and I can't turn it on. The keyboard charges no problem, but I'm not sure what the problem is with the screen. The power button is unresponsive, and I'm not sure if it charges when it's plugged in.

Any suggestions? Our shall I send it Asus for repair?

It is not rooted, and had the official ics update.

So my tablet is definatley running. It's just that the screen won't turn on. I am able to pull it apart, is there anything I should look for or had the screen just given up the ghost.

Weird thing is the actual touch is working as I can hear it unlock to say the camera but just black screen. I have gone to a dark room to see if there is any back light but no go. It's as if it was turned off.

Bit over it.

[LG Optimus 2x] redh4t:
Hello everybody,

I have this issue with my phone, was looking how to fix it, but could not find anything that works.

So i have LG optimus 2x, it's rooted, tried many custom roms and kernels, at the moment i'm with some tweaked CM9 super nova rom and horse power kernel.

So the problem is that i can not mount r/w my /system. I can format it with CWM but none of file managers or even terminal works when i'm trying to remove some files from /system directory. The thing is that i have problem with Car Home app. It pops up randomly, for example if someone calls me, then it pops up and speaker turns on, or just in daily use. It is very annoying.

When i'm flashing rom with gapps included, there are 2 apk files in my system, CarHomeGoogle and CarHomeLauncher witch i'm trying to remove but still failed. But if i'm istalling rom without gapps or for example not full packed (without car home) it still pops up but not the full app but only the icon in my bottom bar (where clock, battery, notifications etc.). I don't understand how the hell that app still works if i'm wiping my phone.

Maybe someone had the same issue and had it fixed. Would be grateful if you share. Thank you for your time.
[LG Optimus 2x] axepted:
I don't have that application in my system?

Did you do a full wipe before flashing the ROM?
[LG Optimus 2x] MisjudgedTwat:
- if u have gapps flashed the car apps are in /system.

- if u do "data wipe" /system wont get touched, so they are still there. same for "cache wipe" and "dalvik wipe".

- if you flash the package again /system will be written again, the flashable zip with the rom will format /system BUT there is an cm update script in it, which will backup your gapps and put them back after format/reflash!

means: do a "format /system" before flashing the whole rom again (without gapps) and you have finally the rom installed without that car-stuff.

hope that helps :)

Easiest to do this is use other launcher then stock one. You can edit icons, rename them etc. ADW launcher from market works great.
