How much does battery cost?

2.I cant flash no signs of life no LED light no vibrate,no nothing

I think its not a hard brick cz flashing kernel aint bick you phone..

Try to plug your phone with charger for one hour and see if the led is working.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ->Sid:
Try to get your phone in flash mode using your frnds battery and if it is possible then flash it using a stock kernel available in xda(ftf file) o using PC companion...

Then it will work completely and you can charge your battery if its working..

Hit thanks if I helped you..

press thnks if i help
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
Use another battery (maybe from a friend) and try accessing recovery (xrecov/cmw). If you can't, use flashtool and flash stock rom. You need a battery that isn't dead.

Have your fried lend you his battery. It'll only take a few minutes. ;p
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
thanks i will try that but i need to wait a few days

sorry for attacking you :o:o:o:o:o:o
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
It's bothering me that you said you alrdy tried swapping batteries on one of your earlier post. i haven't tried switching kernels as i cant unlock my BL, but can flashing kernels kill our battery? Hope it's not a hard brick, though.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazerphoenix:
Hard bricking seems to be a security measure. Anyway, a battery is a bunch of conductors and dielectrics so I don't see how u can kill a battery
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
I understand. It's just that earlier it SEEMED like just a, soft brick until he tried swapping batteries and his phone didn't respond (that's how i understood it). I'm actually trying to find any instances in xda where the same thing happened. Hopefully i'd find an explanation - or even better, a solution. Wouldn't a coma brick be limited to a drained battery? Anyway, I hope there's something I can learn from this. thanks for answering. :-)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
I tried to power it on with another battery.....nothing

Tried to flash....nothing

I think it hard brick...is it
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yeah, this is 100% a hardbrick, just go to a Sony service center or the store were you bought the phone and lie about that this happened when you updated your phone.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nexus Cable:
So I recently began flashing different ROMs onto my G2X. Tried out several before settling on Eagles Blood (GB) since it seems to be the most stable with all capabilities (Video Playback and Recording).

Now the only problem is, I seem to have diminished outbound call audio quality. It does not seem to be signal/reception related as I have full bars and I made hundreds of calls from my room with no issue before installing ROMs. The inbound call quality is awesome, but my outbound audio is weak and has some quality issues. People complain that I'm "breaking up" and they are always saying "WHAT?" and guessing what I'm trying to say.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to organize all my pics, i am just tired of trying to find one out of 523 pictures. So im trying to find out if there is a way to add folders???
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
You can do the show hide folders via Menu > Show and Hide and then select what you want.

Otherwise, you might find an app like QuickPic better.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
You can also use a file explorer such as ES File Explorer or Astro File Manager to creat a folder and place the specific pictures you want in it. The Gallery app will automatically find the folder and show it with your other picture folders.
[HTC Sensation] valefour:
I'm not too sure but I believe quickpic (download from market, it's free) can create folders and move pics. Plus it's a good gallery replacement. Fast and you can sort folders by name or date and also sort the photos in the folders the same.
[HTC Sensation] winsome:
Just as T-Macgnolia suggested, the ES File Manager (free app) in Google Play does it for you. And then in Gallery you can Show/Hide the folders you want.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myemintun:
I am very new to rooting and all the stuffs. However i decided to root my phone following a youtube video tutorial made by this guy called Ashwin on XDA. I followed all the instructions carefully and rooting was successful. Then i proceeded to install CWM recovery following another youtube tutorial made by the same guy and it was successfully installed. Afterwards i flashed RocketIcs rom v1 using the CWM recovery mode and it says the installation was successful...

however, after the installation i realized that my note would keep rebooting and rebooting after 30 secs or so. i am really scared now because i am really a noob in this field and i am at a lost what to do. I will really appreciate if anyone can help ;(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyOGuy:
Im new here too but I think I may know what the err is.

Do you have Titanium-backup App, Clockworkmod Recovery App &/or Nandroids on your Note? If not once this thing gets fixed I recommend you do some homework so that you don't lose everything next time.

Good News is it isn't Fully Bricked (I think)... If it was bricked than it wouldn't even boot at all. Better News is... I have been doing a lot of research - So this might work. It sounds to me that you are in a Boot loop.

In that event...

Good Luck.

Link of one (mine), you open it with Winrar or other compressor software (ex:7zip), you look inside, you see some folders, normally META-INF (don't touch this!) and you see "system" folder, inside, there is other folders, you keep just app (if you need just the app folder)... then you put your application inside.

That's all! ;)
[TouchPad General] Cullers:
I've been using the constantly updating official nightlies for the past three or four months with no problems but have been relying on the March 17 Gapps. Its never given me any problems but I'm aware that they are updating too!

My question is what has changed over the past couple of months in Gapps?

I did take a chance and try installing a later Gapps but either I didn't do it properly or it was a wrong/faulty version.

So what are the benefits of updating the Gapps?

Cheers guys
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
Gapps will update themselves, but if you want the latest, here's the link : http://goo.im/gapps
[TouchPad General] Cullers:
Thanks for that but, what I am trying to understand is on the 17/3 version, everything (seems to) work so what is changing? Are there any new features? What is better with the newer editions?
[TouchPad General] bigsnack:
Not sure if Google+ is part of gapps, but the latest version of that app has a new interface that many like, and it's suppose to work better too. Some of the other apps just have bug and security fixes that you can read about on the apps page on the play store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Warrior 3000:
so im trying to set up my google wallet on the phone. i have citi bank and its a citi mastercard.

i go into google wallet and select the citi master, i enter all the info and it says my card isnt compatible with google wallet. im so confused.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gregkeys:
Me to no cards seem to work, I also tried entering online and they don't show up, also where do I get my $50 promised for setting it up?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Westfire:
You get $10 and that is by selecting a Google prepaid card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nobylspoon:
You get the $10 when you add a prepaid card. This didn't work for me yesterday (stayed on "adding card" message. However, I tried again this morning and it worked fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Drewh1991:
I can't seen to get the prepaid card to work either. It just says error addimg card try again later. :/

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Wonder what's a good way to convert that $10 into cash. Or a gas card or similar?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Most big gas stations have NFC I believe there is a app in the playstore that will tell you all locations w NFC
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ky0_Sama:
Mine was doing that yesterday, so like a moron I went a cleared the application data thinking it might help. Now I'm stuck with the stupid "secure element" error message. I think its kind of ridiculous that the chip would self destruct like that. I love Google, and I understand its a security measure, but seriously? I broke my phones ability to use wallet forever with one click? Not cool. I tried to take my phone back to sprint hoping they'd swap it out, and of course no locations have any devices because of this fiasco with customs.

The worst part is, I know I don't really need Google wallet, but for some reason I still care! XD
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eric1985:
Any idea what its called? I searched but couldn't narrow it down enough
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EzusChrist:
it's called "PayPass Locator"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
So, in order to get the $10 credit I have to do a prepaid card? My MasterCard works fine with Wallet but I didn't realize that you have to go the prepaid route to get the credit. That kinda sucks - I don't like prepaid anything because you end up with odd change that never gets used.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
That's why u just get 10$ gas
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmtom1:
I had the same error re: cannot add the google prepaid card. Cleared data and cache from app settings, which caused it to re-initialize Wallet again when I restarted. I was then able to add the google prepaid card ok, but it did take a while for it to process - it will seem like it's hanging, but just wait and be patient. Also I did this setup before I rooted. (not sure if that matters or not, since Google doesn't "support" rooted devices). I suspect it happened the first time b/c I did it at work and my company firewall may have been blocking it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EzusChrist:
This worked for me...

First update to the latest version of Google wallet, then do this:

Go to "Settings" --> "Power", then uncheck "Fast boot" and power your phone down and restart it.

Open Google Wallet and try again- you'll see that it looks different than before, as if the update didn't actually take initially.

Hope this helps.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
I believe you have to caller Citi and make your card a paypass card. Someone else mentioned it, I don't have Citi, so I can't confirm that.

You have a google account setup, right?

See here: http://www.droidhive.com/forums/ind...-access-to-wallet-after-secure-element-error/

Just add the prepaid card and you automatically get $10. The "odd change" shouldn't be an issue because you just tell the cashier to run it as a credit transaction for the exact amount you have and then pay the rest however you choose.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
I setup Google Wallet and got the $10. I went to CVS and it didn't work. I tried it twice. WTF?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
If the phone wasn't "on" you have to have the phone "awake" to start with.

Tap the terminal and hold until the phone beeps (I believe it beeps).

Mine prompts for the pin.

Tap the terminal again as instructed and wait for authorization.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
I made sure the phone was on and the Google Wallet app was open and running. I placed the phone on the scanner area and left it there. It never prompted or beeped. I tried it twice at the same CVS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] browning:
Not sure. I had issues when trying to use it at 7-11 and riteaid this evening. I was also getting little to no 3g so that may have been part of the issue. I'll try out again tomorrow too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
I am currently running the classic CWM recovery but I am tempted to switch to 4ext Touch. I am wondering if it is worth it to make the change.

I like the idea of being able to use touch screen instead of the volume keys, but I don't know how well it works.

CWM has never caused me one issue, so I have been sticking with the "if it's not broke, don't fix it" method.

What does everyone think? Is 4ext Touch Recovery the recovery that everyone is using? Or should i stick with the classic CWM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] errorrat:
TWRP

I would recommend switching to TWRP (you can install it using menu->install openscript recovery in goomanager from the play store). It is touch like 4ext but has a nicer interface (imo).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Travisdroidx2:
I felt the same way but tried ext4 and never looked back works well with ics also.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] reaper540:
I was the same way but I like the layout and options that 4ext has so I switched
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Pete02:
I switched also. Bought the full version and love it. Much more user friendly then cwm and it seems to run quicker too!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] reaper540:
Yea. It seems like it takes less time to do a backup and other things.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
I'd switch, the free version is full of features, it runs quite smoothly and is faster than stock cwm. I've been using it since madmaxx came out with the touch version and I've never had a problem. Also max is an awesome dev, answers questions in hos thread all the time.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
Thanks for the responses. Seems like the touch recovery of choice is actually TWRP.

Now, when running the script, does it just overwrite the CWM image? So next time I manually boot recovery it will no longer be CWM?

Is there any way to actually make the GPU render the friggin' UI? Like iOS. I've had an iPhone 3GS in my Hands and it was really smooth.. I later on checked the spec's at home (600mhz single core cpu, 256mb ram), so does anyone know how to make Android as smooth as iOS? Or is there any ROM which you think is really smooth?
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
yes. use ICS... and use updated GPU drivers. i would go on to tell you to use sense 4, but for the sake of your ease, stick with 3.6.

in this order... flash ICS w/ 3.6sense, flash chad's kernel which can be found @ infectedrom.com. flash gpu drivers. then, if you REALLY wanna boost that ****, use zepelinrox's V6 Supercharger (the option of 1000hp) and his Kick-Ass-Kernalizer. Optionally, use his 3g Turbocharger. Those three things of his, are scripts, which you can execute with Script Manager. If you do some reearch on the things I have stated here (this goes for many other users), you will never even remember why the hell Apple came up with the idea to go mobile...

ugh....iphone...what a waste of time/space continuums...
[HTC EVO 3D] Toxina:
The updated GPU drivers and forced GPU rendering doesn't really seem to do anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
... what rom. i swear if its not ICS... are you still on 2.3.4 Cobra ROM?............................................................

if you cannot tell the difference, you either did it wrong, or have bad eyes.

maybe iPhone was better for you?

btw never ever ever mentioned anyhing about forced GPU rendering... i was implying that you knew that ICS uses HW.. (erm Hardware) Acceleration.

[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
iOS renders the UI so fast because it is only showing pictures. Flip through the pictures in your gallery. That is all that iOS is doing with the homescreens. With Android, it actually renders everything because of the availability of widgets and live wallpapers.
