[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
I am coming from an OG EVE and I am uploading some apps with data that I would like to bring over to google drive.

Besides that what are you doing?

Are you just going to take your sd card out of the current phone and stick it in the new one? Good idea or bad?

I was thinking of just copying over my music/pictures and starting the sd card from scratch so I don't bring over all that garbage I have accumulated.

Thoughts on best practice here?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LTEvo:
Good post. I too am a little new to transfer from old android phone to new android phone.

How exactly are people transferring phone numbers on the phone (not gmail) to the LTEvo? Are you just uploading everything to google and transferring?

As far as apps, I am putting faith in appbrain to just redownload all the apps?

This might be a noob question, but I will ask anyway. Once i set up my gmail account on the new phone? Will old evo not work w/ the same email? I read somewhere that you can only use one email with one phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I don't use google for contacts, so i exported everything to a VCF file on the sd card.

Most apps let you back up their settings, so I used that function. Not overly concerned about email. Once app is installed (k9 mail), and settings are imported, it's just a matter of refreshing to resync with the imap servers.

I do look forward to having root so I can run titaniumbackup to restore other apps/settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dylan6879:
Id make sure all ur contacts r connected to Google or backed up somewhere so u don't end up re entering them all. As for my SD card. I'm backing it up then reformating it in the LTE. Gonna wait until I'm done setting it all up then restore some app data and pics/music. That's why I love Android a new phone and all u really need to do is log into Google and u have all ur stuff again :D

Though I have Titanium Backup that backs up my my entire phone data to my Box account so whenever I get a chance to root, I'll get all my game data back.... I really do not want to start all over on angry birds lol

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ariesdroid:
Hey...not sure if this has been answered before or not but im trying to figure out battery draining issues and one of things ive always used is ram optimizers...I have Android Booster and Android Assisant ....and then i also use the built in task manager to clear memory...shouldbi be using these apps or are they draining the battery by running in the background? They seem to clean up a nice amount of memory....and keep my phone running fast....just dont know much about them...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirbeksm:
I do not think that by cleaning your RAM, you can reduce power consumption by RAM.

Actually, you do increase it. Android itself closes unnecessary applications when needed to clear memory. But, when you clean memory, either by task manager, or some custom tools, you are basically forcing applications to close and restart unnecessarily. I would say, it is additional load on CPU, and thus on battery.

For most applications, exactly startup and finish times are most expensive in terms of CPU load and battery. And most well-designed applications will not drain your battery when paused.

Reminds me of RAM cleaner programs for Windows machines, that would simply trigger excessive page faults.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
while i agree with most of what you posted, there are 2 major flaws in your logic:

1. you talk about closing apps that restart on their own, but not many apps actually do that. sure, widgets, services, your launcher, communication apps and syncing apps need to run in the background, but certainly there are other apps eating away the battery, that need to be fully closed, when not needed. kies air or wifi file explorer come to mind. some of those apps don't fully close through the back button and must be killed from a task manager to save battery.

2. you say apps are paused. that is not necessarily true. many apps are capable of fully running in the background, after all, we are talking android and not iOS. we have full multitasking and apps are not generally suspended. say, you want to play a game for the first time and it needs to download more data. you can do whatever you want with your phone, open a dozen other apps, browse and listen to music, that download will continue in the background. this might fill up the ram over time, if you never close an app or apps do not allow direct closing.

there is a reason why samsung supplied the phone with a built-in task manager.

some apps are not well made and don't quit properly and need to be killed that way and killing off unnecessary apps (that won't restart) makes sense.

and let's not forget apps that get stuck but don't force close. they need to be killed as well. what else are you gonna do? restart the phone? certainly that wastes way more power than a restart of a few services.

every time you have a look at the samsung task manager or the "running" panel of "manage applications" and you use 500 something MB of ram and kill all apps, it will go down to something like 200 something, then the services restart and you are back up to maybe close to 300 (all numbers vary on your rom and apps). given that situation permanently saving 40% of ram is certainly a good reason to kill apps before you put the phone in your pocket.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirbeksm:
I guess, then, it is best practice to kill all apps from task manager, a few times a day, especially after using several different applications and closing them. Applications that are needed will be restarted automatically.

I am not sure about running so called "RAM optimizers" constantly, though. When you are using your phone, it simply introduces more lags. Otherwise, it does nothing, if you have cleared RAM after heavy usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
killing itself is not necessary in the 1st part.

the more the memory android uses the better the apps behave, thats how android is desinged.

if you people still want to release some memory just use the samsung task manager ot clear memory or "fast reboot" from market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ariesdroid:
Thx for the posts...i deleted the 2 android apps for now to see if theres a difference...i will trybusing just the built in task manager for a few days and see how that goes. But for example i mainly use my phone for words with friends...facebook...twitter and instagram....when i run the built in task manager it frees up mabye 200mb of ram....then i would run android booster which would clean up another 200mb and would close stuff like facebook...and tweetcaster and so on....the built in task manager doesnt seem to pick up on and close everything it should...which is why i downloaded the others...my phone has 800+ mb available and i usually find that ots using 500 of those 800 at all times...i wouldbfind myself constantly closing stuff with the optimizers...but like you said...they just open up in the background again anyway. Im rooted and have got rid of all the safe stuff to get rid of and the funny thing is i still dont see much of a difference in ram consumption...i think of ram as important cause it keeps things running smooth with no lag...not sure what to do i guess...ill try it like this without the optimizers and see how things go and download them again if i get bad lag...what i really need is a actual list of my phones internal software so i can get rid of the rest of the unneeded system files...ive found similar lists..but never a list of my actual phone...theres certain stuff running on my phone that isnt in the lists ive found so i left them with the worry that i may have to reinstall the rom if i delete the wrong thing...im also a android noob...only 2 months of using it so far so ive got tons more learning to do...thx for the opinions tho...keep em coming if you got em!

I was looking for boot animations for my HTC sensation 4G and was disapointed that many I found contained jpeg's that were lower res than qHD (960x540) so I decided to make my own.

Here are the first 2.

They are both montages from LFD2 intro sequence. Source video was 1280x720 and carefully resized and rotated to qHD (960x540) at 24 fps. The clips are ~40 seconds long, do not loop and do not finish before a typical boot up. Enjoy.! :cool:

[Nook Touch General] taiwwa:
Hello,

I rooted a Nook Simple Touch about a month or two ago using the latest firmware available.

All is well, but USB keyboard support is a little flakey.

To start off, it often takes multiple attempts to get it to connect. I select host and OTG and nothing happens. I have to exit the usb connection mode and then reenter and it might work.

Secondly, sometimes it completely drops out! I will be in the middle of a document and it will be gone.

Any idea? have any new updates come out in the past few weeks?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yes, it is flakey. The kernel driver is not very good.

Don't bother with OTG, that was put in there only for completeness.

If you are using host mode without a hub or with an unmodified hub, make sure that you hit the "Off" button before "Host".

I intended to take a look at the driver and fix the balky state machine.

[HTC EVO 3D] Nametaken:
So I was on SOS Rom with Chad's linux 3 kernel and did the wire trick. I got s off, yay!!!!

So, now my wifi stinks, 3g stinks, my touch screen was affected, I have slight dead areas. I can't flash kernels, but I can flash boot screens. Totally not worth the trade off, lol. I have tried CWM, 4Ext, fastboot and flash image GUI. None work :(

Anyone have any ideas WTF is going on? Or what I need to do? I was thinking about using google to find out how to get s on and try the wire trick again, or just stay s on.

Would I need to flash a firmware from Frieza to possibly fix the kernel issues? I have no idea how that would help at all, lol.

If anyone else has had issues like this,.what did you do?

XDA senior techs, any ideas?

Not saying the wire trick stinks, just saying I ran into an issue I cant figure out :)
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
Well I'm deeply sorry for your issues but I also believe that the issues your experiencing is not totally related to the "wire trick".

The effects of the wire tricks can't do much damage because the voltage going out of the pin#1 is not enough to cause massive effects with the small amount of time you make contact with ground.

Questions :

what kind of wire did you use?

How long did you place the wires in full contact?

I would say as well that disclaimers are posted and there are risks with following any prodcedures written in this site.

Try flashing a RUU and see what happens, perhaps that could be a way out?
[HTC EVO 3D] zcink:
Oouch! I hope there is a fix for you, I'm sure you are going to try everything.

I don't know how to fix this but I do know a little bit about electronics. Actually quite a bit. Sounds like this trick shorted out or caused a voltage spike internally. Generally when an electronic component is damaged, there is no fix.

When you let out that factory installed smoke, you can't get the Genie back in the bottle.

I had a laptop once where the fan stopped working. I bought a new one. New one was not getting any voltage. A friend of mine was sitting at the bench with me. He decides lets just find another spot with same voltage and tap in there. Starts jumping wires around on the mother board and poof -- $1,000 dollar laptop on sale for parts on Ebay. Took me a long time to get over that one.

Just a little more info. I can flash other kernels, but on sense Roms, it just shows up as the same name as the other stock kernel. I was able to fully flash other roms, like AOSP. Once I flash AOSP, I can see the other kernels I flash.

Flashing AOSP:

While I can flash it and other kernels, I get stuck on being able to activate my phone on the device. It gets stuck saying airplane mode is on. Totally sucks. Haven't tried activating online or by calling sprint. I have been busy with family stuff.

If anyone else has issues, post em up! Perhaps we can all help each other out :)
[HTC EVO 3D] cmbaughman:
So Here's what I ended up doing. After wire trick got me the S-Off, I had that ICS HBoot and thought hey, maybe this has something to do with my weird AOSP issues (for background please see my post in the CDMA developers section in the JBear thread), so I flashed my 2.17 RUU that I had handy. After that, I updated PRL and Profile (hoping this would do something). Then to my surprise, everything was stock again, bootloader read hboot 1.5.0 again instead of the 1.57 one, however no root because it's an RUU! Anyway, I kept reading through the thread like some of these folks told me, however I didn't find much, I did see that most people with success were using the JBear GB version. So, I flashed the jb_hboot from the GB version (I actually took another guy's advices and simply renamed the jb_hboot.zip file to PG86IMG.zip, this worked! Got me the Jbead modified GB bootloader on 1.50. SO I guess since we're S-Off, I was able to go back to hboot 1.50 and then did a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and flashed the Ext4 recovery image I had. From there, I restored the nandroid I had (Nocturnal ICS Xi36 r105) and it all booted up fine. Later I will try flashing back to CM9 and see what happens, perhaps I'll be able to get out of this "sort of Airplane mode" that isn't really airplane mode (where the phone htinks it's deactivated.)

The key here is that while I was on GB RUU, I updated PRL and Profile, then went to the 1.5 hboot hoping that would be enough for the CM 9 rom and other AOSP ICS roms to activate upon install. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for starting this thread man, we need a place to sort all this out. With all the info that floods the OPs of development threads, it's hard to really find what is even relevant. So, glad to see one in the Q and A that we can ask questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Well what i can say is that after trying the wire trick my device would randomly turn off and stop working. No charge, No light. Nada. Completely dead then it would randomly come back to life. Anyways. I took my phone to sprint today and ill be going back in two hours to see what the problem with my phone is.

I personally think its a hardware issue. Maybe i used a bad wire? Or i touched the wire during the process which is known to mess up your device.

Thinking about it . I don't see why people don't downgrade instead of the wire trick.

Update- Sprint told me my device had hardware issues and will send me a new phone within 4 days.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nametaken:
There is a possibility that, as someone else has pointed out, that we are indeed hurting our phones. Not so insulated wires, paperclip with tape etc, is the culprit. Too much static getting in and possibly hurting our phones. Something to think about.

To RUU Paul, lol,

I was thinking of uprooting using a similar method like you and gaining root again to ensure it isn't permanent. While it seems you could make it back, this could mean it is a software issue then, but it is too early to tell. Hopefully we cab get enough of the anomalies in to pin point this.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nametaken:
Thanks for pointing this all out! I can confirm that doing this allows us to flash back to AOSP with Airplane mode off and get it all up and going.

Once in there, you can change out your kernel and see that it is changed under About Phone! I loves you so much!

Now, if anyone has a way to verify if a kernel was changed or not, we can see if my idea was right about it flashing the kernel, just not showing the correct name of the kernel that was flashed :p
[HTC EVO 3D] elitetech:
Thank you all the effort you guys have put into this. I too ran into this issue, and simply flashing the GB hboot resolved my issue. Just so everyone knows, that it is not necessary to revert to stock first. Just simply flash the other hboot, and you should be good to go.
