+one on the Android whiplash:)

WP7 downloader is a Sammy engineering tool, just like you have Odin for the Android. They are not public tools. Flashing is important and therefore, the OS that's running the flasher is more important. For win, there are two versions avail, X86 and 64 bit.For Linux, the distros are quite a larger number. This is why manufacturers tend to develop the flashing tool for a wide-spread and supported platform. Some smart guys developed a flasher for a Linux distro under Linux. ODIN's replacement is called Heimdall.

Chances that MS would develop a flasher under linux are slim.

On the other hand, you could ask Cotulla if he's willing to develop a flashing app for Ubuntu. Chances that he'll do it are also slim.

Good you're on Android and not on a dead forum.

I'm sure most know this on here but it seemed to be a new idea over at rootz.

Whenever the dinc freezes and locks up, instead of waiting for it to reboot on its own, hold power, volume down and then press the trackball. That should knock off those annoying wait times if you have a rom that like to randomly freeze.
[Droid Incredible General] :
Yep, the "Three Finger Salute". It's been around for a while.
[Droid Incredible General] TTT05Mikes:
Thanks bobAbooE. Learn something new everyday - even after power-using my Dinc for 2 years. I could never understand why the Dinc, a god of a phone, couldn't reboot without a battery pull or got that stupid Low Memory error. Well, I found the EXT4ALL memory solution a month or so ago, and now I find the 3 Finger Salute. It's a good universe we live in...
[Droid Incredible General] Hand76:
I have owned this phone since day 1 and never knew this lol. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible General] MysticCobra:
I know this technique has been around for a while, 'cause I've seen references to the "3 fingered salute" before, but I never saw what it actually meant. Now that I'm getting into custom ROMs and have experienced a couple of random lockups, I'm glad to know this trick. Thanks for posting!
[Droid Incredible General] Raven2m:
Wow, after two years of rooting my dinc this is the first time I have heard of this this reboot option. :cool:

[Droid Incredible General] calcali33:
Great tip. Never knew that you could reboot the incredible this way. Thx.
[Droid Incredible General] MysticCobra:
BTW, I briefly ran with the Touch of Blue GB ROM over the weekend, and it did not support this "3-fingered-salute" reboot method. (I also couldn't get it to boot into the Bootloader via the Vol-down+Power buttons, which I thought was a ROM-independent feature, but I tried it multiple times without success, so I dunno what was going on there.)

Now that I'm on Tiny's CM10.1, the buttons are back to working as expected both for reboots and boots.
[Droid Incredible General] tiny4579:
It was fast boot mode on sense that caused this.

To expand upon this discussion, fast boot is also a feature in Sense starting with GB -- on by default -- that when enabled, allows the phone to boot up faster. Details unknown but with it on, the phone doesn't truly shut down so you can't access bootloader from an off position. It is likely what prevented you from doing the 3-finger-salute.

In gingerbread i remember there was macro picture option but in ics there isnt?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aimcr7:
put your object to focus closer and on the center (wait for scene recognition detect it as macro) or press camera button half-press, then let it focusing (this should be change scene recognition icon to macro mode) and take the pict.

or simply buy a decent camera apps on play store almost all of them can get the job done easily.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] plesan:
Thanks...but am i right that in gingerbread there was an option to do that?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
yes.there is option for macro.in ics without that option i can shoot with macro mode..:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] WildMoves:
I don't know about ICS... But in gingerbread you have to make sure that scene recognition is disabled (Capture Mode -> Normal) and then go to Focus Mode-> Macro to force macro mode.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] genyt:
Yes, but in ics, and normal mode, there is not macro mode in focusing menu.

It "should" detect macro with auto scene mode.

Hey,

My battery life is really bad when i'm using Hspda (even when doing nothing, no fb sync in the background, just email (i'm on CM9 nightly, default kernel and JPG modem btw)), right now i only enable HSDPA when i need it, but i want to use whatsapp, so i need to have regular checks for messages. I'm looking for a power management app which can do this:

-enable data every 20 minutes

-only enable Edge every 20 minutes when my screen is off

i think this will result in a reasonable battery life. I've tried some power managers, but none of them allowed me to implement this schedule. Can someone advise me an app? Or a better solution for my battery problem.

i've ordered a polarcell 1800mah btw :)

tasker. Quite a steep learning curve but worth the effort.

on cm7-9 you can control whatever you want.

you can replicate everything that jd does and get even more control

google for tasker wiki for a few examples.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedfreak007:
ok, i'll check tasker when i have the time (exams at the moment :) )

i've installed juice defender and played with the settings. The data connection will check enable every 15 minutes when my screen is off. But the data connection is permanently on when i'm using the phone. When i disable data with the toggles in the notification menu, the data is off when i'm using the phone, but won't enable every 15 minutes too.

i can't seem to find the following: enable data connection every 15 minutes regardless of the data toggle and the state of the phone AND i want to be able to use a toggle to enable data permanently when i want to surf the web for example. is this possible with juice defender? i can't find the right settings combination in order to achieve such behavior

thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcampori:
well, that's what I do to minimize battery drain, together with tasker.

a) mobile data. quite simple. I always keep mobile data on, 2g network only. This way I can always get real time notifications, emails, and so on. I use 3g only when I really need it. If you also have an aosp helper which allows network automation, you can condition 2g-3g depending on the app you are using. You don't need 3g for texting with whatsapp. 2g is more than enough.

b) gps. I keep always gps off, and use securesettings helper (free, but unfortunately it does not allow for 2g-3g switch, and you don't need it on cm7-9) along with tasker to enable it only with some apps. The rationale behind this is that some apps use gps for location purposes even if you do not want them to do, thus draining battery. So you force those apps to rely on wireless location only. This probably just a drop of juice, but it helps.

c) wifi. switch on/off depending on location with tasker.

d) sync. I always keep sync off, to get real time emails I do not use gmail app but use a gmail account on an exchange server instead. I use tasker to enable sync once in a while to get updates (contacts, calendar...).

e) night. I do not use airplane mode to save juice: I do not need real times or notifications, but I do want the phone to be on just in case some beautiful lady desperately needs to give me a call in the middle of the night. So I switch off mobile data and wifi, but I do not enable airplane mode. This is scheduled with tasker as well.

of course you can do much more, and create profiles that exactly match your needs.

that's it. This way I always have anything I need to be on when I really need it, I do not have to give up to get real time notifications or emails, and significantly increase battery life up to JD levels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedfreak007:
dude, if someone writes a simple program to do this with just one click, he can make millions :) i'll definitely try tasker
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcampori:
well tasker is designed exactly to do that (well, no clicks at all once you set it up) but with plenty degrees of freedom to let anyone configure as wished.

If you need hints and tips, feel free to pm me.

I know that if I do a wipe so that I can install a new ROM, it leaves the SDcard alone..

What would happen if I copied my data off of the internal memory, and plugged into the tablet to my machine, and just deleted everything out of that directory with the exception of the download folder, since my ROM is there.

Then force it to go directly to the CWM, and flashed the new ROM...Would that allow me to clean that folder out? Or cause issues?

[General Questions and Answers] takyon42:
After attempting multiple times to get an LG Mytouch Q Slide(LG-C800) to accept a T-Mobile sim(tried with active customer Simcards) I finally called T-Mobile, who informed me that this phone has and IMEI lock.

This is the first time I have heard T-Mobile doing this with a phone.

To try and recoup my loss and not sell it simply for parts, I processed an unlock request via an unlock code reseller.

When I put in a foreign sim(verizon, AT&T), it does not prompt for a SIM unlock. Tried taking battery out multiple times, tried inactive and active sims. Tried to manually configure APN's, still says network is locked, with no option to unlock.

Is this due to an odd way the Q's are configured, or is this due to T-Mobile locking the IMEI?

I recently rooted my Incredible using unrevoked 3.22 downgrade to Froyo to achieve s-off method. I flashed CM9 Kang - Release a8 last night, and now if someone tries to call me, it will ring once on their end and goes to voicemail. I recall seeing in some tutorial something about a 3-digit "*xxx" to dial for provisioning 3G on Verizon, but I can't recall the number nor find it now, nor do I know if this affects voice calls. My "About Phone" info is as follows:

Model number: ADR6300

Android version: 4.0.4

Baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28

Kernel version: 2.6.38.8-cyaniarb-ics-stock-031012+cyaniarb@prime

CyanogenMod version: 9.0.0-RC0a8-inc-UNOFFICIAL

Build number: IMM76D

Could someone please help me find the number and figure out why I cannot receive calls?

[Verizon Droid Charge] bond32:
So I'm betting I'll get a lot of hate for this, but I ended out trading my galaxy nexus for a Droid charge. Honestly I needed money so I traded someone for a charge plus $200, I thought it was a good deal.

To be honest, after using the charge for about a week I almost like it better than the nexus. I had the nexus since release and in my opinion the charger's screen looks better. ICS didn't wow me like everyone else, not yet at least.

Regardless, I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be. Running tweaked 2.1 is excellent too. I still have an upgrade available so I'm thinking ill go with HTC again once they release something with a big screen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
No hate over here.
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
Nexus is way overrated imo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] THEbigSWEEN:
I HATE YOU!! :eek:

Juuuuuust keeeding :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidBlaze:
The hardware is. The screen wasn't anything to brag about (Rezound's is nicer and released around the same time). The cpu was definitely a step backwards compared to the Exynos in the SGSII, as well as the gpu. Crap radios that are worse than the charge (I'm not sure if this has gotten better). But what makes the Gnex amazing is two things: pure ICS goodness and a HUGE dev commutity - larger than any other phone on Verizon has had since probably the OGDroid. To me this is enough to outweigh the relatively weak hardware.

P.S. The rezound is pretty much the opposite with good/decent hardware but crappy software (I hate all skins be it Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur, etc.) and much smaller dev community. If that phone would get a fully functioning AOSP rom (AOKP or CM9), it would be better than the Gnex IMO. The only drawback would be the tiny battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bond32:
After using it with ICS for a while I didn't find anything that was overly impressive about it. In fact the software keys at times were more of a pain.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidBlaze:
But the software keys would be a hardware issue since they're only there because hardware keys were omitted. Don't get me wrong, I love Tweaked on my Charge (dwitherell is a scholar and a gentleman), but I will take AOSP any day over a skin-based rom. The biggest draw (for me at least) about ICS, other than the ui, is hardware acceleration.

I have at least managed to mimic (somewhat lol) the ICS ui with my TweakedICS theme but it's still not the same. I am content enough though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Damasterjj:
I had the charge and I didn't like it. but with $200 extra not a bad deal. overall both of you had a good deal
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I have the Rez, and I must say, the development is surprisingly good. No AOSP, but we do have some nice ICS leaks that work quite well. I'm running S-Off with the latest RUU and with CleanROM developer edition. It is very fast, clean, and it is fully functional. Radio reception is good and I get amazing battery life on the extended. Just sayin'...

My Charge is running Tweaked with PBJ, and it is great. I feel pretty lucky that I have, IMO, the two best phones on Verizon.

I bet the Incredible 4G is going be a nice phone, though. I honestly think that the GS3 will be somewhat overrated like the Galaxy Nexus, I just can't jive with pentile.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DroidBlaze:
Sense ICS =/= AOSP ICS. Also, the dev community is still miniscule compared to the Gnex though. I mean come on saying you have amazing battery life with the extended battery is cheating. It's like saying you get amazing mileage on your car but converted your trunk and backseat into an extended gas tank, lol. Almost any phone can get amazing battery life on an extended battery :eek:. The Rezound is fast though and has the best screen on Verizon with great radios. That's why I feel the hardware is better than the Gnex but on the software and dev side I still think the Gnex is much better. To each his own though, and as long as you love your device that is ultimately all that matters. I'm still trying to pick up either device on the cheap but I might just wait to use my upgrade in early June.

To me the Incredible 4G is a disappointment spec-wise. I feel like it's a gimped One series phone. Also the screen is too small for my taste. I was really hoping the Incredible 4G was going to be a OneX equivalent a la Evo 4G LTE :(.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I can see what you're saying, however, CleanROM is de-sensed, and is just very clean all-round. There are plenty of tweaks to make it nicer. I run a custom launcher (keep going back to ADW). But yeah, I get great battery life on the extended, lol. I haven't tried the stock battery, so I can't really comment on that. I agree the Incredible 4G is kindof a pansy phone. The HTC One X is where its at. Good thing I didn't have the money at the time, because AmazonWireless was selling the AT&T HTC One X a couple weeks ago for $530 off contract. Yeah the 16GB internal only storage sucks, but I have other devices with tons of storage.

The screen on the HOX is the best of any phone (of course the same as the new EVO.) In fact, I'd go so far to say the HTC One X (S4 Krait AT&T version being the nicest) is the best phone, period. The lingering question is development. I don't think the AT&T version has an unlocked bootloader yet. AT&T apparently strong-armed HTC into removing the htcdev unlock method.
