Battery Tips

I have owned HTC Touch , HD, HD2, One X White.

Some tips for charging:

1. Basically batteries are smart and can be charged at anytime .

2. Phone on/off does not increase/decrease battery health. If you need to travel on a short notice then you may charge with phone Off as it definetely charges faster.

3. Do not charge it overnight - based on past and present experience

4. Do not let it dip below 3% after 4-5 full charge cycles.

Hi all, can someone post here the original Bootsound of htc? I used search but found nothing... Thanks to all :)
[Desire General] jughead101:
I installed RSK Springtime v 7.4 with SNQ kernel. After a couple of hickups (like ext4 partition issue, FC issue at first boot, getting google play apk from different forum because it was always force closing) I was able to install it perfectly and it is working absolutely fine now and I am loving this ROM.

The only issue remains is that I am not able to connect WIFI using 802.1x enterprise security in office. With WPA2 I am able to connect at home.

After searching the forums I found that few people resolved WIFI issue with a different kernel DZ #18 but not sure if the issue they were facing was with 802.1x or it was a general issue.

Can the RSK team suggest what should I do? I am not really keen on redoing the complete exercise of installing the ROM again but if thats the only solution I guess I had to go that way.

The change log of 7.4 says that this issue if fixed but doesn't look like it is fixed (Fixed wifi to connect with 802.1x, PEAP and MSCHAP (Hope)).

Device: Desire (Bravo) PVT1 S-OFF

Kernel: SNQ Kernel 2.6.35.8-snq-111118

Radio: 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2

Recovery: 4EXT Touch Recovery

SD Card: Transcend 4GB Class 8

Rom: R.S.K V7.4
[Desire General] Malooki:
The wifi issue is solved in v7.4.2
[Desire General] jughead101:
No its not. I am running 7.4.2 and it still persists ... I could connect just once and then I could never connect again :(
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Do you get any errors / messages when you try to connect to Enterprise-network?
[Desire General] jughead101:
No, it could find the SSID .. .says authenticating ... and then disconnects.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Did you try to add the network manually?
[Desire General] jughead101:
Yes, since we have a hidden SSID, I had to add the network manually.

Before rooting, it use to work only after moving to the new ROM, i am getting this error.
[Desire General] jughead101:
Bump...
[Desire General] jughead101:
Looks like a GB issue... ICS works perfectly fine.
[Desire General] jmcclue:
I used that rom and i got wifi no problem, so its probably rom issues with that type of security on the broadband.

Why not try latest v7.4.3 i also tryed that and wifi works. But personaly runnymede aio is better

:D

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire General] jughead101:
I had tried 7.4.3 also... it didn't work...

With ICS no issues..
[Desire General] jughead101:
Updated to RSK special edition.

The workaround to this issue is to put credential password and then connect. Once connected it will work till I reboot the phone.

I'm trying to find an universal way to read userdata partition(dump partition) without rooting the device.

Assumption :

the device can be boot in fastboot mode

Possible ways :

1. Using fastboot

I've looked into fastboot.c, it taking usb as a usb_handle pointer. I'm trying to move from that point. Fastboot is mostly to write or erase, but I assumed if writing and erasing are possible, reading should be possible as well.

2. Using nvflash, tftp...

It won't be the solution, since it's chip dependent but using chip vendor's download tool to dump partitions.

How does using adb dumping from /dev/mmcblk0p1 sounds?

can I unmount mmcblk0p1, and mount back to readable position?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrotolo:
what device? more info please.

dd if=dev/mmcblk0p? of=data.img bs= 8096 is usually the easiest. (<--just an example)

also this may be helpful:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastae:
Thanks for the link. using dd command is the exact way I used to dump mmc block as root. Or can it be run under not-rooted phones?

Rooting depends on the kernel version of devices, so when I have to dump various phones, it's very cumbersome to root different kinds of devices and dump.

So I'm finding a way to walk around the problem by using fastboot or if possible adb.

I think fastboot is my best bet so far.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkiqq1208:
How about adb?

adb shell

df -h
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastae:
df -h will only show usage of storage medias. Is there anyway I can read off the actual data?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Волк:
As already mentioned, dd, but via ADB. I believe that it functions at a low enough level that you should be able to dump mmcblk0 without having to be rooted. If dd can't be directly accessed via adb, you could extract a busybox install from a rooted phone and set it up in your adb directory and then run it from there with busybox (in theory).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastae:
Question.

Feels like i'm on the different page from you. If i run dd for /dev/mmcblk0 it does give me an error message saying "Access Denied" of couse mmcblk0 is owned by root. And busybox too(I haven;t tried this), it's just a set of linux commnads, I'm not sure how it can access a file(in this case, a device) which does not have its ownership.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wissam:
Hi All,

There is a way to dump any partition to SD card partition on unrooted device vi ADB.

Paste this couple of lines into the terminal :

adb kill-server

adb wait-for-device

adb shell "echo ro.kernel.qemu=1 > /data/local.prop"

adb reboot

adb wait-for-device

adb shell "mount -wo remount rootfs /"

adb shell "rm /data/local.prop"

adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcp1.dump

The phone may reboot many time after that, so make sure the file /data/local.prop is deleted after this operation. or execute this :

adb reboot

adb wait-for-device

adb shell "rm /data/local.prop"

adb reboot

hope that helps

Most of the above will only work on a rooted device with superuser.

The loop holes for shadow copies are mostly fixed since 6.0.

Partitions that can be accessed without root can be dumped with DD through ADB if ADB itself is supported and not internally limited to prevent just this.

LG said that they decided to focus on Android and all Windows Phone acivity will be hibernated. What now? Probably we never receive update to WP8?

I think that LG just forgets about WP. They only released two devices in 2010: Optimus 7 and Quantum (LG Jil Sanders Mobile was a lost cause, too similar to Optimus 7, no new features, they introduced 1. generation device, when in same time on market other manufacturers have 2. generation devices.

So, when LG abandon Windows Phone now, and leaves customers with no updates I think they can't return on WP Market.

Hi

I rooted my green lens defy and i'm currently running CM9-NIGHTLY-120416-Defy.zip.

I backed up all of my old settings and apps from froyo with titanium backup.Tried to reinstall gmail and maps but they do not work properly.

Also i can't download anything from the restored appbrain marketplace because it says i do not have android market installed, also tried via my browser, it says the download will start but never does.When i use recovery and load my old rom the apps are waiting and download fine.

Will i be ok to install gapps-ics-20120317 and get my google apps back and will this solve my problem?

Gapps have nothing to do with the phone model..For every Android version, the specific gapps is released.. So the gapps for ICS, can be flashed to phone running ICS, doesn't matter if its a defy or defy+

I had the same issues with Play store to download app a couple times. In app manager, select Google play store and clean cache and data. That`s work for me.

Otherwise try wipe data/cache then flash the last nightly from Epsylon for defy froyo, then CM7 Kernel then the last gapps-ics-20120422 then battery ics fix then reboot and restore your app :D That should work fine :p

[HD2 General] loupio:
Hi everyone, i hope i'll find an answer cause i can't understand what's going on with my HD2 !

So, my hd2 keep losing signal, at first i taught it was a radio related thing, so i flashed a 2.12 radio (was on 2.15.40), but the problem is still there. So i decided to change the rom, cause the problem showed up after i installed a android sense rom (this one) i installed i miui stable rom, and still have it.

Here, i decided that the problem maybe came from my sim card so tried my wife's sim card (same operator) and another sim card (different operator) and it worked just fine, no losing signal at all.

So I've changed my sim card with a new one and the problem still occurs!!!!

Decided to flash a windows phone 7 rom, (just to be sure) and problem still there.

I can't understand what's wrong, i have this problem just with my sim card !!! any help please

Hi there,

I have a dual boot system with stock WM6.5 and SD android.

When using the android OS i notice that the signal bars sometimes are lower than when using WM and i even get no bars at all.

I dont know if your problem has the same cause as mine, but try to flash the stock rom and check.

Worth a shot.

[HD2 General] loupio:
no my problem is a bit different. cause my sim card don't lose's signal on my phone. but work well on other phones. on the other hand, other sim card's work's well on my phone. So i have the problem with my sim card in my phone!!! that's what's driving me crazy.

By the way flashed a stock rom but it didn't solve my problem

I'm having it on my tab. I'm using ADW. It has Launcher Actions. From there you can create icon to jump to screen 1, 2, 3, ...etc. Then you just change the icon into text style.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] vhallac:
I don't think you can do it in general. I am looking at the source code for Android 2.1 launcher (in packages/apps/Launcher directory), and there is a method (Launcher.setScreen()) that they use to change the active screen, but it is only called internally from Workspace.java in three places: at initialization, to set the default value, on restoring the instance state, and when scrolling.

It is possible that the particular launcher application you use allows external intents to set the home screen, but I wouldn't know how to track it down without access to the source code.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] demhyt:
Is it possible when using go launcher ex?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] keninsgs2:
I was using that before switching to ADW. I do not recall go launcher having that function. Honestly, I prefer ADW over go launcher now. :)

Asus logo? If you're doing a recovery through NVFlash then you shouldn't be seeing the Asus logo. When you enter APX mode, the screen should be off the whole time (to the best of recollection). The only way that you can really tell that it's on is when you plug it in and go to Device Manager and see it under USB Controllers.
