[Acer Iconia A500] antoniolcrd:
Hi guys,

after three days of reading and reading and many hands on - thank u all for all the usefull posts here - i need a definitely answer:

- is it possible to grab the acer a500 cpuid under APX Mode or not?

Scenary:

- tablet prompts every day for an update. My friend at last accepted it and then the reboot came and then some problems like restarting, crashes, etc. (I suppose a simple hard reset would fix it and he'd have a clean and workfull update. But he took to a assistence shop near his home and as i can figure it out they tried to flash it instead cos stuck in android after acer splash. And if tried to go into recovery mode only a layed down droid with that red exclamation. :eek::eek::eek:

- in my turn first tried to grab cpuid as i read here - thank u all - but all i got 0123456789ABCDEF. Then tried to flash with an update.zip grabbed from some rom version i cant remember after such many readings... :p:p No longer, sorry - and after updating completely the TABLET CONFIGURING screen comes out then reboots and BOOT VERIFIED FAILED. I tried also others update.zip but this one is the only one wich can "works". All the others one i tried stop around 33% and the droid lays down again. :D

That´s why i need an answer to my question cos i think it´s the only way to have a succesfull flashing via APX mode. Am right?

After so much brain stormings i have seen around here about this issue will someone still try to gimme a help?

Thank u all in advance.

Rgds,

;)

If the device is booting into APX mode you should just need to do a read of 8 bytes, this should give you the UID.

I posted some C code for doing this with libusb before.

And this should be posted in Q&A.

Hi, i have a gnex with CM9. I have done all the unlock bootloader, root, etc stuff with Galaxy Nexus ToolKit, with the one click for all feature. All was done right, with no problem, but a few weeks ago i notice that most applications that use internat storge fails and hit internal storage error, like dropbox, MTP, screenshot capture, bluetooth file sharing, ect...

and even more, in information, WIFI MAC Address and Bluetooth are unavailable

i don't know what is wrong.

pd: it's not a rom problem cus i change from codename to cm9 and the problem persist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
Did you try to unroot and return to stock to check if the problem persists?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elegalll:
I will give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
No need to unroot, just reflash stock.

Hello guys. I have a touchpad and want to install android on it. First of all i want to know if i can keep webos on the tablet and dual-boot with android?

i need a step by step to install clockwork...after that's made it's simple to install android...or i hope so it's the same as on my htc phone.

Thanks in advance, Stefan.

[TouchPad General] sean is here.:
Yeah, seriously...there have been like lots of other posts asking these same 2 questions. You might try reading through the forums. You would find your answers pretty quickly. Or use google. Look here for some answers.

It's not the same as installing Android on your HTC. It's actually easier. And thankfully (because believe it or not there are a lot of idiots out there) it's more difficult to screw it up. Anyway, you'll find good tutorials here. And that guy is much nicer than I am about dumb questions.

You can thank me by using Google next time, or the search forum feature here. It's a little button up near the top right.
[TouchPad General] stefpaul:
thanks for the help guys :)

Ps: for those that think that i'm lazy...i'm not...i searched for some info and wasn't sure about some things. it;s a forum and it's better to ask for help instead of making your device result in a brick !

[Android Apps and Games] NewKlNGjames:
I am looking for a program that I can use as a remote to control the music played on my XBOX. I have airplay but all that will do is let the xbox play the music on the phone, it still has to be controlled through the xbox.

I used the trial version of jamcast and was able to use that as a virtual sound card. I don't mind spending some money for a program, but 30 for that program is more than I want to play.

I really don't care if I am playing music from my phone, computer or even streaming a radio station, I just want to be able to control it from my phone and not have to carry a remote around the house with me. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

****edit****

i found 2player network music player, but can't get to see my xbox as where to stream my music to.
[Android Apps and Games] Cptnodegard:
You mean you don't need the Xbox to be the player? If so, Winamp + aWARemote will do the job for you
[Android Apps and Games] okmijnlp:
He wants to stream music to his Xbox & needs to be able to control what music is playing via his phone rather than skipping tracks on his Xbox.

Edit: just found this:

How to Use 2player With an Xbox 360

2Player allows you to remotely control an Xbox 360 when the Xbox 360 is running Media Center (but not when running the the default Xbox 360 music player).

To launch Media Center on your Xbox 360, go to the Xbox Dashbord, and select Windows Media Center from the My Xbox menu. If you have not previously used Windows Media Center, you will be guided through the configuration process.

Once Media Center is running on your Xbox 360, you should be able to see an Xbox 360 Media Center Extender entry in the target device selection dialog of 2player.
[Android Apps and Games] NewKlNGjames:
Thanks. I am trying to set up 2player but I can't get it to see my xbox as the destination, otherwise that's exactly what I am looking for. Not trying to sound d picky but o would love it to play the in the background if at all possible
[HTC Sensation] iamlegendfam:
Bought the sensation XE a couple of days ago. The only think I keep :confused: about is the battery.

I have two HTC batteries and I have been using them simultaneously (taking one out put next in, other goes on charge etc)

I am going through two full charges a day and am on the third battery.

This is crazy, is it me? What am I doing wrong? Might me ICS..?
[HTC Sensation] XdividerX:
What settings are you using on your phone? (auto brightness, background data..etc...) And what is your usage rate? Are you using stock or custom ROM?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
What apps do you have installed and what accounts on sync?
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
It usually take a while for the battery to reach it's full capacity. Give it like a week, then judge the battery.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
my battery was horrible! I finally put Anker battery in ,rooted, got custom Rom, now its excellent! Very happy! Can go all day without charge!
[HTC Sensation] matique:
Mind posting a picture of your batt stats? And how many hours of screen time you have. Here are some tips..

1. Use manual brightness. I usually use 10-50% only. The lower your brightness the less power you consume.

2. Disable auto sync. Disable push notifications unless really needed.

3. Disable led lights and vibrations for keyboard and soft keys.

4. Use mobile data only when you need to. If not, turn it off.

5. You can try juicedefender. Works for some, doesn't work for me.

6. Don't use live wallpapers.

7. Run a custom rom and kernel. I'm using virtuous inquisition 4.0.2 with sebastionFM 1.4.1 kernel. It's fast smooth yet easy on the battery.

8. As your battery is still new give it a few charge cycles. It should stabilise within a week or so..

9. Do download betterbatterystats and check on what's hogging your battery. Also check with cpuspy whether your phone goes into deep sleep or not.

With the methods I've mentioned I'm achieving about 20 hours standby with 5 hours of screen time. I consider myself quite a heavy user. If you do your math that's like 15minutes of use per hour.
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I agree with this, give it time.
[HTC Sensation] johnerz:

I also bought an Anker battery and can run 40 hours on low use and over 24 on medium I use the regular as a spare on my travels
[HTC Sensation] iamlegendfam:
Thanks for replies. I am rooted, on stock ROM currently, looking for a new efficient ROM, any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] Sindroid:
Im using ordroid now, but ARHD is great as well. Both give me excellent juice. U should try other kernels as well. Faux is my fave..
[HTC Sensation] masands:
I get 4:10 hours of screen on time only. Every single time +/- 10 minutes. Charge every 2 days.

95% of 4:10 hours is web browsing, Words with Friends and Draw Something.

Stock HTC Sensation. Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

My settings:

Wifi, Mobile Data controlled by Easy Battery Saver on Intelligent Mode.

Brightness-> Auto Brightness. Most 50%+ because I work outdoors.

GPS- Off

Gaming-> Only 2D.

Music-> Lots of music.

Web browsing -> Mostly Wifi only because I have Wifi wherever I go.

Calls: 10-12 a day approx.

My iPhone 4 used to last me 3-4 days. The screen on time for that was 7-8 hours. Yeah so the battery life is really appalling. Buying iPhone 5 (6) when it comes.
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
A battery that last 3 days is not worth being stuck with IOS. BORING.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Unfortumately HTC's power management isn't very good but it has improved in ics. If it matters to you that much I say go for a Samsung galaxy s2.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
It's not the battery its the way the phone will use it. In actual fat I believe that the HTC sensation battery is very slightly larger than the one in the iPhone 4
[HTC Sensation] matique:
Hmmm 4 hours of screen time is really quite good actually. Charging every two or three days isn't too bad right? Considering the benefits and flexibility of android over iOS.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
My thoughts exactly.
[HTC Sensation] winsome:
+1

Give your battery some days to reach its full capacity as mentioned. But no matter what, running a custom rom with power optimizations is the best solution.
[HTC Sensation] matique:
Currently faux latest 07b1 kernel is giving me awesome awesome battery life.
[HTC Sensation] masands:
With official ICS, I am now getting around 5:30 screen time. That's good enough. I think if I buy EVO 3D battery for my Sensation I will get 7-8 hours like my iPhone so I'm going to do that.
[HTC Sensation] Nitharshan6:
You can try easy battery saver, it's work with my phone and is very efficient.

I AM pretty sure man i am missing here...the problem is even if i copy the files in my internal sd card and flash into recovery mode the files are not their anymore. I deleted so many apps as well but as soon as i reboot there they are again. The phone is not recognizing any apps on my external sd card either. I cant figure out whats wrong with it. The worst part is i cant even flash it through odin. Can you provide me with the md5 file link please i wanna give that a try cant locate it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
If im understanding you correctly you are just odin the recovery image. In that case you need to download the actual kl1 stock odin file or kid stock odin. There is a thread in general with links to that. It shouldnt take you to yur current rom if you are actually using odin to flash an actual stock rom. :confused:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] secure_6:
What is strange is how you keep getting back to Juggs... If you truly wiped (CORRECTLY), Juggs wouldn't start up (no ROM installed). As far as apps... Let GOOGLE auto restore your apps or manually re download them. The force closes usually happen when you restore your apps WITH DATA.

Put your phone into your PC, copy/move the GB ROM of your choice onto the SD card. Eject. Go back into recovery. Wipe everything, use darkside wipe, kernel cleanser, flash ROM, REBOOT, LET IT SIT FOR 10 MINUTES, REBOOT RECOVERY, FIX PERMISSIONS, REBOOT. sign into market (hopefully you have your account (apps) backed up through Google.. Let it sync/restore your apps.

Good luck.

I am actually trying to bring my phone to the very basic stock. I have tried flashing everything through odin, and my recovery is not working properly as well. Any file that i download and save it on the root of my internal sd card does not show when i boot into cwm and after rebooting the system as well. I factory restarted my phone as well but nothing is working. Something in the framework is broken and apps on my external sd card are not recognized either. Iam completely lost with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phenom43:
I tried removing all the files and then push the files on the root of my sd card as well. But as soon as i go into the recovery mode the rom/kernel files are not there. I can only restore my apps once i get hold of any other rom or stock but it simply doesnt work. My phone is stuck on the 14th of may 2012. All new messages or call logs i have are before the 14th of may, anything after that has just wiped out of my phone.

After five pages of people trying to help and you going in circles it should be clear you are not going to fix your phone without putting it in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. If you can't get live help in IRC from someone you need to find a local phone guru who can reset it for you.

Already did, his phone is on some weird sh!t. It seems to run through odin fine and take the flash, reboots, and then still has his all his previous rom, kernel and everything on it. I have never seen anything like this. He seemed to have performed all the steps correctly, but even odin wont flash over it. I have no idea what is going on with it.

Someone else try and guide him on IRC, I can't figure it out

Nothing will wipe or format, odin flashes won't stick. I dunno.......

Wouldnt matter where he lives rigt? A warranty is a warranty with samsung unless they dislike canadians for some reason. ;-). Ibhighly advice callig samsug or even better just go to the wevsite and register the device on there and start a repair request. Dont even have to call a rep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:

Ummm...hmm.. Has he tried usig heimdall to try abd odin? Or choosing partition option on odin to try and probably wipe partitions to stock? There is also a new app by starskybob that allows for full restore and flashing roms. Its in the dev section. He could potetionally brick it on "accident" by odin another phones tar files like the i777. But i wpuld definitely fully verify warranty with samsung before doing such a thing. So he cant even flash a new rom???. What about restpring an older backup of a different rom or rom version. Or downloading rom manager abd flasjing the rom thrpugh there?. There are many more things to try. T sucks this happened. Rare event.
