[Motorola Droid RAZR] n8w:
I'd suggest going back to Matt's thread, and going through a few pages as there is an updated version. I think it's also posted at another razr forum. Delete the versions you have just to eliminate any confusion. You may also just want to use RSD. It took me a few tries to get the right fastboot file, but once I did I just had to ota to .173 then to .181.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djerk:
i think i downloded the newest version of matts utility today,i even created a new user account on my pc incase some other program is interfering,and when i run the utility i still get the same message i wrote about when i started this thread i'm starting to think i'll never get to taste ics when it comes out, maybe matt would help me!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djerk:
wow if only i would have listened to you sooner,i assumed lite or full version meant paid or free!I was at my wits end yesterday so i emailed matt and while i was reading his response something clicked in the back of my head so i went to matts thread and downloaded the full version which includes the fastboot files and tada i'm now running on the 181 update!now i just have to reroot and restore my apps from titanium and i'll be set,thanks to you and matt and all on xda who tried to help me,if i wasn't so bullheaded and paid attention i'd have had this done weeks ago,now come on ics!!!!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teddykgb715:
Guys,

What should my baseband read? I lost my 4g and I read somewhere that my baseband should indicate if it is 4g. Mine does not, it reads CMDA_N_04.07.01R.

Is that correct?

I use the ICS flashing utility 1.1, but I decided to go back to .173 to take the OTA to .181. After all of that, I have not so much as seen a glimpse of 4G....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
I had the same issue but since you went to 181 I can't help. Use your utility and go back to 173. I used a bone stock 173 update zip which I flashed thru stock recovery. I didn't wipe anything and lost no data and it put my radios back in. If you can't find it I will be uploading to 4shared and drop you a link once it completes
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Use this once you are back on 173. Just flash it on top of it. Don't use a custom recovery. Don't install one. Don't freeze any apps. Just be stock 173. Do exactly as this says and make sure you have 50% or better battery.http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/2...ings-phone-to-android-2-3-6-no-root-required/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] teddykgb715:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
Glad it worked. I didn't have time when I found out about mine. No laptop handy and dropped that while at lunch. Really happy it worked on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
Ok so Im pretty sure 99% of you will not be able to help me because I believe I have a specific problem with my television. I have a Panasonic TC-P46S2 46 inch plasma and have been struggling with MHL.

When I plug in the adapter, not only does it not properly fit on the screen, I get random gray fuzziness every once in a while. So as far as the fit of the screen, I have tried every option that I can on the TV to get it correct; eg: Stretch, zoom, full, h-fill. Nothing corrects it and my screen in every direction is cut off by a few inches. This is a 1080P TV but should be able to display a 720P image perfectly. I am using a PNY MHL adapter.

The only thing I can think of is that the galaxy screen is not exactly a 720P resolution and the TV can not correct for it. Any ideas? Any ideas on the random gray fuzziness disconnects as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkmn760:
Did you try the phone and connector on another tv? Or another connector onto the same tv?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stupidslow02gt:
I have a monoprice adapter coming but don't have another HDMI source to check the phone and adapter with. If the new adapter does th same thing I'll assume its the TV. Unless someone offers some other advice.

[General Questions and Answers] NanoNoodle:
I wanted to flash a new ROM and wanted to backup my SMS and contacts. I used an app on the market (Super Backup : SMS & Contacts) and backed up. I don't know where the saved backup is now because its not in the folder where it usually saves in. Is it hidden? Deleted?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] cyr0s:
If it's not in the directory the application usually saves into, then it is probable that it was deleting during flashing for whatever reason. Try using Recuva by Piriform or another data retrieval tool to recovery them.
[General Questions and Answers] NanoNoodle:
I've never heard of Recuva but I'll have a look at it now. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Zeitgeist4:
Hi,

for sms backup you can test the free app from market "sms backup and restore". After backup your sms you can find the data on sdcard in folder SMSBackupRestore.

For backup Contacts the easiest way is to have a gmail account
[General Questions and Answers] NanoNoodle:
Yeah it should of saved into that folder but it doesn't seem to be in that folder.
[General Questions and Answers] olympians02:
if there is really such backup process, that would be really great. i'll try it.:):)

[Atrix 4G General] cpetersen2791:
I am planning a trip to Europe soon. My Att Atrix is rooted and unlocked running cm9, but not unlocked for different SIM cards.

What do I need to do to have my phone work in Italy, and Denmark. I was just going to pick up a SIM card at the airport.

Do I need to flash a international radio? What provider should I buy a SIM from? Anyone recommend a specific unlocking code provider?
[Atrix 4G General] Nhan Lam:
1. You should buy an unlock code (I bought from ebay, 99 cents).

2. Buy sim card from GSM provider.

3. you're set.
[Atrix 4G General] wyldkard:
Call ATT and ask them for unlock code. they should be able to provide it to you for free if you are a customer.
[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
AT&T used to provide unlock codes free if you had an account more than 90 days old. Then they changed to "the phone has to be released more than a year ago". Now they've changed again, not sure but I think back to 90 days.

Call them and ask, when you say you are going overseas they should ive you the code if their timeout has been met.

The Atrix IS a GSM 4-band international ready phone, no need to monkey with that. Unless your mods changed something, it will use the right band wherever you are.

As to which provider...ask about rates and coverage for each area you'll be in.

The unlock code from AT&T cannot actually be applied until you try to turn on the phone with an "alien" SIM card in it, so once you get the code you might want to borrow a TMobile or other SIM so you can confirm the code actually will work for you. (Or buy a cheapie here.)
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
Good information. I'll be honeymooning in Mexico this summer and thinking of leaving my Note at home and bringing my trusty Atrix with me.
[HTC Desire S] Gill:
Please can you tell me if my HTC Desire S, which is rooted with a Three UK ROM added, will get the OTA Update of Android. It currently has Android 2.3.1 HTC Sense 2.1. My other HTC Desire S is not rooted but has updated to 2.3.5. The rooted phone also still has the old Market and not Google Play.

Reported to mods for moving to "Desire S Q&A" where it should have been in the first instance.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Come on dude :p

You've done this several times now, and we've already said we had to report it for being in the wrong forum. Can't you take the hint? ;)

Good job Simon!
[HTC Desire S] sgt. slaughter:
Thread moved to Q&A....

OP please read the forum rules in my signature. you are NOT to post question threads in the Development section.
[HTC Desire S] theguitarman94:
It won't get the OTA because it is rooted and if you were given the chance to update it it would mess up your phone and it would not update properly. Which OTA are you on about? The ICS one that could be months away or the sense 3 one?
[HTC Desire S] alice901212:
There must have some people can help you to solve this problem.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Is Alice trolling here? I can't honestly tell for certain.

The OP asked his question, there were then three posts relating to him putting it in the wrong place (again) and Sharpinator then answered him and asked a question back, so I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of your post was. :confused:
[HTC Desire S] Gill:
My query was about an Android, that's why I put my message in the Android Form.

Messages like, "Wrong place, wrong place, wrong place, wrong place," are not appropriate. People like me who are far from experts are only looking for some help from the experts.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
You didn't put your query in the "Android Forum", you put it in the Developer Forum. If you are such a newbie here (which I find surprising given the fact that you have been on this site since 2004) then you could at least have the decency to read the forum rules first. As Sgt Slaughter stated;-

It isn't really difficult to look at a list of forums and work out that a question such as yours should be in the "Q&A" forum.

You were told previously on a different thread not to post in the Dev forum so you can't claim ignorance as an excuse, and you actually got your question answered as well, so I'm not entirely sure what your problem is.

P.S.

Any particular Android? Maybe the one in the 1982 film of the same name, with the memorable tag-line "He learns to love, he learns to kill ... Android becomes man" :p

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
Anyone tried this that can report how well it charges? I have 1amp car charges for my phones and 1.2 doesn't seem like it would make a big difference. I would like to get a 2.1 amp charger made for the ipad as that should work well. I bought a Gtmax brand dual usb car charger on ebay, 1amp port for phones and a 2.1 amp port for tablets. First one I received did nothing on either port. My replacement charges my phone great with the 1amp, but the 2.1aml doesn't charge my Prime and I'm currently waiting on another replacement. Ready to just buy one that I know will work and be done with it....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] heliumfx:
still not going to work

I hate to break it to you but there was nothing wrong with your charger. the standard usb charger can put anywhere from .001 amps all the way up to 2.5 amps but the standard for usb voltage is 5 volts. that never changes. what asus has done is changed the charger voltage from 5 to 15 volts and that's what is running on there charger. so the aftermarket car charger is only putting out 5 volts and no matter how many times you exchange it you will only get 5 volts out. you need to look for a special charger made for the prime that outputs 15 volts.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustfingr:
Hi,

I just bought my first Android - Samsung Galaxy Note. The only other mobile I have ever owned was a blackberry curve and I never installed a single app on it.

My Question: What reason does Google Play Store 3.5.16 have to require the following permissions?

Your Messages - Receive SMS

Your accounts - Act as account authenticator, manage the accounts list, use the authentication credentials of an account

Phone Calls - Read phone status and ID

The other permissions that it requests I can somewhat understand, but why on earth does it need access to my SMS? My accounts and my phone calls?

Sincerely,

dustfingr
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliper123:
For example, if you browse Google Play on your PC, the process of installing an app onto you phone is simplified by sending the app link to your phone. That's why Google Play requires Receive SMS permissions.

Also I don't know exactly, but maybe it's required for bying apps using SMS and phone calls.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
It needs the 2nd permission so that it can use your Google account to access the market. The rest of the things it can do with that permission are just tied into the permission itself and not necessarily used.

The 3rd permission is in order to identify the phone type so that it can link your device to your account and only be able to install apps that are meant to work on it.

As for the SMS permission, I have no idea about that one but it's nothing to do with remote installation or being able to install other apps that require that permission.

Did you try Googling for this info? I'd imagine Google would have more information on this than anyone else.
[HTC One S] mikea3000:
I'm having issues with my phone shutting off when the battery meter is low but not dead.The indicator will be yellow and still shut off. When I power it back on and plug it in, its completely dead .

is the phone innacurately reporting the battery percentage?
[HTC One S] Scridgeon:
Sounds like the battery isn't conditioned correctly. There are apps in the market to help with that.
[HTC One S] androidcues:
Look in battery configs battstats prob in /data/system and prob elsewhere
[HTC One S] mikea3000:
Arent there other ways to condition the battery with an app? i heard like running the phone to empty and then fully charging? any advice?
[HTC One S] Scridgeon:
The problem with running it empty is the battery will never fully discharge because the phone is reading the stats incorrectly.
[HTC One S] mikea3000:
can you recommend any specific app for this? do you have to be rooted?
[HTC One S] Scridgeon:
You'd have to look at the requirements per app but I do believe you need root.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Your phone isn't going to report one thing, but "believe" a different thing because of bad battery stats. A Google employee has already debunked "conditioning" your battery by deleting battery stats; the phone uses it for reference only, not to make any decisions, especially when to shut down. Something is wrong with the battery itself, or your phone, not your stats.

Swyped, not typed, from my Digital Brick
[HTC One S] Komadyret:
It might be better over time. Had mine for two weeks now, and I had it run out on me three times. First time it shut down at about 13% left on the meter, second time around 8% and this last time at 2%. Good enough for me, but it's annoying if an untampered new phone doesn't report at least somewhat close to real battery-state.

I usually hook it on the charger at 15%-30% (approx 12-16 hours usage) in the evening, and sometimes have a few short charges (25-30 minutes) from the car-charger during the day.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
I've never let mine get below 50% since I got it, but I just ran it into the ground with a terminal process ('yes && yes') and it went all the way to 0% and then powered off.

[Flipside General] sirtokesalot:
ive had a odd phone crash i cannot recover the phone from its esentialy a brick now. it turns on and functions sort of but the home page is missing just a blank black screen is there and only the notifacations bar and lock screen works. has anyone ever tryed to flash a velocity rom onto a flipside? if so does everytihng work right afterwards?
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
Don't know what a velocity rom is, but sounds like you either uninstalled your launcher or it is corrupt. Are you rooted? That's the only way I know that you could have uninstalled it. Here's what you can do to recover regardless. Go to play market from your computer, sign in with your assosiated account to the device and find a home launcher you like. I've used launcher pro and go launcher ex on the flipside. Send your choice to your phone. Then when you unlock the phone, press the home key and you should be given the choice to use the new launcher. Should fix, but you'll have to do some customizing.
[Flipside General] sirtokesalot:
it was rooted however i dont think it is now because i tryed to do the master reset when it first happened. will this still work without being rooted?
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
Should still work. Doesn't hurt to try.

You can use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 to root again. Just did it on mine and worked perfect. Credit to DooMLord.
[Flipside General] sirtokesalot:
well unfortunetly i cannot remember the account i made with the phone so i dont tihnk the file is getting to the phone. is there another way to get the launcher into the phone?
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
Not without being able to access the home screen. If you can't remember the google account associated with the phone, sounds like only option is to reflash with the stock sbf. You will lose all data on the phone but not the sd card. The files needed are in the development section.
[Flipside General] sirtokesalot:
i did it. i did another master reset resetup the emails form the beginning still had issues messed with the phone got the voice commands to open and told it to open the market by voice command and downloaded it from the phone. its working again now.

Awesome. Glad it worked out. Forgot about voice search cuz I never use it. Any idea how you lost your default launcher?

Still have stock kernel. Can someone help to locate the compatible kernel for the purpose of overclock and/or unvolt. TIA
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
There's been some discussion recently of the leaked ICS ROM for the Lenovo A1, which is a little difficult to install, because Clockworkmod won't flash it due to failed assertions. I've modified it so that it can be flashed through CWM.

Be warned that it will overwrite U-Boot, the kernel, and the RAMdisk (these are not usually backed up by CWM 5.0.2.7). If you've installed it, and you want to go back to your old backup (very likely as you'll soon get tired of nothing working properly), use the following steps:

1. Boot into recovery

2. Restore your backup using the normal CWM functionality

3. Install ub-fastboot.zip from this post.

4. Reboot into fastboot mode and restore the correct kernel and ramdisk for your ROM with:

fastboot flash inand-kernel <kernel>
fastboot flash inand-ramdisk <ramdisk>

5. Reboot.

If you don't know what the correct kernel/ramdisk is for your ROM then I'd advise you not to try using this ROM.

DISCLAIMER

There is no guarantee of anything going right if you install this ROM. I'll try and help with problems (and I'm sure other people will too) but if things get messed up it'll be your fault. Don't take the risk without understanding it and being comfortable with it.

Download: here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] monsieurtalbot:
So now you've flashed ICS to your A1, but you can't use it. Duh. Everything is broken right now.

For those scared of using ADB commands during a restore to CM7/Stock gingerbread... Here's the stock RAMDISKS, and Kernel as CWM .Zips... [Links taken from the other A1 threads, stock kernel .zip by yours truly. ;-) ] Flash ONLY the ones you need before you flash your Stock rom/CM7 rom/nandroid restore. In this order.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Now if only we could get Wifi and USB working... That would be a decent start...

Weird part is, on the leaked one, the device name under settings is "Zoom2"

(haven't flashed this one yet, but I assume it's the same)

Makes me wonder if this is infact the real deal... or at least an attempt by a third party? (see post below)

Though it's nice to see it being possible. :-)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
It says "Zoom2" - that's an OMAP3 development kit that the hardware in the A1 is very similar to - they'll have started with the device-specific files for the Zoom2, and haven't bothered to change them yet. See http://www.omapworld.com/zoom.html

If you can still boot into recovery, flash an OTA zip file.

If you can't, then follow these instructions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gmarkall:
I'm not running the ROM right now, but I tried extract-ikconfig on the kernel and it didn't find a config - I don't know how reliable that tool is though, since I've never used it before.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] isime13:
An update for the ICS ROM was posted in a German forum. Wifi is said to be working now. You can download it here. To use it, you need to flash the original ICS firmware (A107_.rar) and then install the update.zip with the stock recovery from an external sd card.
