[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackbeasst:
my hd2 is rooted and has rom manager and super user and all that good stuff. but when i go to ad recovery it doesn't load up into recovery.

is that possible that somehow i don't have CWM recovery installed?

im trying to update to an ICS rom and im guessing thats the easiest way
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Which ROM are you running? You DID flash whatever it was via CWM right? :p And it's not the easiest way to update to CWM, it's the ONLY way.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackbeasst:
bought it this way. it has an older cm7 on it and i was looking to put on ICS but like i said i can't get into recovery from magldr.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Backup your apps in Titanium Backup then flash CWM. Chances are you would have needed to change the partition size anyway. After that, just flash ICS and you should be fine. Oh, also note that ROM Manager is not compatible with MAGLDR, so trying to use it could corrupt the recovery (from what I've heard) which may be where you went wrong :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackbeasst:
whats the latest cwm?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adil1508:
V1.3 is the latest, if i am not mistaken
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
(Didn't mean to hit thanks BTW, but you get a free thanks ;)) If I'm not mistaken the latest version is 5.0.2.6 although I'm using 3.0.2.5 and I really can't see the difference. 3.0.2.5 is also supposed to be the stablest version from what I've heard, but I haven't tried any others.

EDIT: Well clearly I'm wrong but I could've sworn I've seen 5.0.2.6 somewhere (it isn't something you just make up) but yeah here's the thread.

EDIT 2: Actually adil and I are both correct, 5.0.2.6 is the actual recovery version and 1.3 is the release version for the HD2 (in the same way NexusHD2 is on v2.2 whilst the actual ROM is ICS 4.0.4)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackbeasst:
so i ran the daf.exe and got the following when trying to flash:

Error Description: USB init failed

i was trying it for cwm 1.2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Haven't tried it myself, but here's the fix for USB init failed. Dunno if it will work or not though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackbeasst:
yeah i saw that. looks like its an xp thing though. im running win7 so i might have to find another route.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackbeasst:
well i finally was able to run the daf but now it doesn't boot and says "nand kernel open failed" and kicks back to magldr.

edit: wait for it.......
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adil1508:
I get that error too sometimes. When running DAF.exe, right click it and run it as administrator. Usually works for ne
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adil1508:
Does it say that when you choose option 8. AD recovery. ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] blackbeasst:
looks like we have ICS! thanks nigel. that link work. it didn't have anything to do activesync. not sure why cwm wasn't working or how the previous user installed everything but i think im up and running.

thanks to you as well adil

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeniTCH:
Hi,

I am experiencing a strange problem with a Xperia Arc, LT15i, which one of my friends asked me to 'fix'. The scenario is as follows:

- The phone has no warranty

- The phone had a stock ROM from 3 here in Denmark, 2.3.6, not sim locked, not rooted.

- Whenever I try to make a phone call, it immediately hangs up

- The same happens when a call is received, no ringtone or any other indication of an incoming call, phone hangs up immediately.

- The phone is unable to receive messages

- When I try to send a message, it fails

- Messages sent to the phone are not received

- 3G and internet work fine

I thought that this was some kind of a software bug related to the stock rom, so I tried to install stock ICS on it by following one of the widely available guides, the ROM installed fine, problem persists.

I have not been able to find any information on other people experiencing the same problem on google, nor here on XDA. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can trace the root of the problem? Can it be radio FW related? Can I get any useful information by rooting the phone, installing busybox and tracing the system logs, dmesg, etc. ?

Any suggestions and ideas are welcome!

Best regards, Denis

If everything is stock, bootloader still locked, then try to repair your phone with sonyericsson PC Companion. But backup all your contacts and messages, because it delete al your data.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeniTCH:
There is no data on the phone, so I am free to experiment as much as I want. I will try to see what the Sony Ericsson companion can do, but I am quite sure that the guy who's phone it is already has tried that, which resulted in the stock operator ROM from 3 being reinstalled. I am not exactly sure on whether the bootloader is locked or not, I have not played around with SE phones this much before, as I am used to HTC :) Is there a quick way to find out?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gsantoz:
Hello,

I'm experiencing the same problem but with SIM cards from only one carrier (TMN Portugal). Its works fine with VODAFONE and OPTIMUS.

I can get 3G and internet but "No Service" for calls and SMS. When I try to call I get "Out of Service Area".

The TMN SIM cards work on another handsets, not in mine.

Did you solve your friends problem? If so, how?

Thanks in advance m8.

hi guys

After several tries, i have successfully unroot my phone by relocking it and installing ruu.

But now its showing 'reclocked' instead of 'locked'

Can u guys help to to get rid of it?

Maybe by using commands
[HTC EVO 3D] Keion:
Unfortunately, it's impossibru to get rid of relocked unless you do the wire brick method and downgrade in which case it will show something else and then somehow reflash to a locked hboot which will then give you locked and not relocked.
[HTC EVO 3D] ptrickg7776:
From what I've read, Relocked appears if you used HTC Unlock method. But, I could be wrong. If you want to get rid of it, maybe try using different version RUU but I have no idea if that will do it. I know when I had to re-root my phone after VM bull, mine said locked but I've never used HTC Unlock method for root.

I'm sure someone will come along that can get you what you need!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longtimelurker:
Hi Everyone,

I keep having the following problem with my Galaxy S2.

In the standard mail app, I've selected the option to make a notification in the status bar when I've got a new mail, I've selected the silent ring tone, and vibrate is on always.

The phone itself is also in silent mode.

I keep ketting a sound when I've got a new mail, and its annoyingly loud. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Only when the option to make a notification is not checked, I do not get a sound. But then there is no notification, and no orange bubble with the number of new unread mails.

Can anyone help me?

- some extra info: standard samsung rom, not rooted.

Hi all!

I am looking for best calendar app & widget for my purposes. I need app which understand html-description (like stock calendar understand) but I need also:

Ability to create private appointments

widget is showing also appointment description

So far PI is quite close but it didn't understand htlm-description. Touch calendar shows appointment description but I don't find widget for that and it also do not understand html-description. Stock calendar would be fine but it doesn't show appointments in monthly lookout. Business calendar has a great widget but it doesn't understand htlm-description.

Anybody have a good suggests!?

[HTC Sensation] PeeHoo:
Either you did not understand what I wanted or I am stupid...:o Because I am not able to find descriptions when monthly widget is open.

I do not want a listed appointments but instead of that I need weekly or monthly widget which is showing appointments descriptions and descriptions can be html-format.

Business Calendar has nice monthly widget but it do not understand html-code and then whole description is nice mess. Am I only one who is needing this?
[HTC Sensation] darKpoiSonend:
you might want to checkout business calendar, got it when it was on sale ;)

[HTC Sensation] PeeHoo:
Sorry in my 1st message: "Business calendar has a great widget but it doesn't understand htlm-description."

Also I asked that from support:

"Hey Pxxx,

I think our calendar will also have some problems with HTML-description. You can try to use the free version for a short test. Normally it is only possible to show HTML-links in the description field of an event.

With best regards - Christoph Wolf from Business Calendar Support"

So I do not understand why it is soooo difficult to make calendar app with great widget and it also understand html. It is not so nice to read html-code-mess in description. Btw. stock calendar understand that but it has stupid monthly widget.

Ok, I can use both but I want only one apk for that...:(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangzeb:
Hi, How can I change the default Blue BG Image in stock rom's framework for x8 ? I tried copying the res apk file to pc and extracted it with winrar changed and replaced the image using photoshop then again compressed it using winrar "Normal" compression but renamed the extension to .apk instead of .rar... copied the apk to the phone but I was stuck on the 3 Logo Then I had to use xrecovery to get back..

what am I doing wrong here ? I just want to change the BG Image?

Thanks :(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulranjan:
copy framework-res.apk from system/sdcard to pc, now using 7zip or winrar extract framework-res.apk, now u should get a folder with similar name, in that folder go to res/drawable-mdpi, here edit the blue background image, now open the file framework-res.apk with 7zip, inside apk go to res/drawable-mdpi, here drag n drop ur edited image, now push the apk into system/framework.

# always make backup of the file u r messing with.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

btw u need to root your device to mod anything, u wont be able to play with /system untill ur device is rooted.. following the rooting guide to root.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangzeb:
okay I'm going to use xrecovery now, will never try this again.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulranjan:
U didnt fixed the permission.!!

Do u rooted ur device?

If yes then plug in the cable and connect it to pc , turn on the phone, let it stuck. Now use qtadb to push the original apk, reboot n u r done.

Ah! As u said u'll use xrec, means ur device is already rooted just use qtadb to push apk
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangzeb:
Yup thanks mate, but I've already used xrecovery to go back to 13 days earlier state, downloading qtadb looks handy, what did I do wrong anyway ? used root explorer directly while in phone?

no I didn't set any permissions as you didn't mention such thing , sorry
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulranjan:
Sorry my fault perhaps. When u copied the framework, long press on copied file, choose permission make it like:

XX

X

X

Yes qtadb is handy instead of using root exp to copy file. u can directly push file from system to phone, through qtadb u, I think dont need to set permissions. I think u should use 7zip.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangzeb:
alright the, but the phone went off as soon as I copied the file, how could I set permissions then ? I will try somedays with this utility, thanks alot
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulranjan:
Hmm,, problem seems quit unusual, use 7zip to change edited.png in original apk, n push through qtadb,, may b it'll work, try and then respond, if no success then upload your apk n i"ll do the change...

All of a sudden I've been getting less battery life. When looking at the programs that are using the battery most, Maps has been near the top of the list. The thing is, it does this even when not using the maps app at all. I've tried force closing, but still pulls CPU and drains the battery.

[HTC One X] iMack007:
Hi all.

Recently returned to xda from the ios scene....almost sorry I did. Had been a long time member of xda since 2003 aka Mackaby007, but got fed up of the lack of support from manufacturers and developers alike.

To the point now,

I'm on a fast unlimited data plan and would like to know if there is a way of spoofing apps into believing that I'm on WiFi (especially as the market store frequently requires this for large downloads)?

On a jailbroken iPhone, one could purchase an app called 3G Unrestrictor that did exactly this. Anything like it available for Androids or specifically the Hox? Any help is greatly appreciate

If you don't know what I'm talking about and just wish to question why I would want this, please don't bother. I need help or a viable workaround, not baseless opinions without understanding. Thanks.

Damn!! Posted this in the wrong section. Could a moderator please move this to the appropriate Q&A section? Many thanks & apologies.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
If you are on an unlimited data plan then why does it matter? This thread makes no sense.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x92:
I got a Galaxy S (i9000) and I'm now considering upgrade to S3 or One X.

There are a lot of reasons for me to get S3 but what bug me most is the lifespan of SUPER AMOLED HD. My 1year+ i9000 got slight grey burn in all over the screen, looks like some stains on the glass and feel kinda dirty. It is visible at all brightness and even worst in low brightness. I really hate this as I would like to keep the phone for history/as a memento.

1) I think this question is quite obvious but I will like to ask anyway. Will S3 screen suffer from burn in? Will it be worst than i9000?

2) Should I care about burn in problem ? why yes and why no?

3) Will Super LCD2 suffer from burn in or any other degrade?

Thanks a lot to those who reply. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I think the best answer would be

it *COULD* get burn in, but with normal use it *SHOULDN'T*

:)

Samsung have removed most features that keep the screen on for too long (except smart stay.. but that is smart).

e.g. no "night clock" mode
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
My SGS2 got bun in 10 months down the line, so there is a chance the SGS3 could also.

HOX won't as LCD is a different tech.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WibblyW:
Wouldn't intend to use one as a night clock, but I'm wondering if using an S3 as an in-car sat-nav is the best idea for this model - screen often on a quite high brightnesses for hours at a time... ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
If the image refreshes or changes often enough it will reduce the chances. Would you use it as such every day? if not I wouldn't worry too much.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g4rvd4:
My 2 year old desire (amoled one) has a burn in of the top notification bar. I guess it's possible on the s3 too, as the notification bar is always visible.

On mine the burn in is visible only when some app uses the full screen with a light colour. And I think it just became noticeable recently, which means that the s3, using pretty much the same tech, would also last quite some time before this started.

Don't worry. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
I don't think I would keep Sgs3 for more than 2yrs. So the burn in issue shouldn't bother me :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharpshooterrr:
1.) The S3 will most probably suffer burn in as well. I have seen heavy burn in on SGS1, SGS2, Note and GNex. It's very unlikely that the SGS3 will be safe from the issue. I don't think the burn in will be worse than the i9000, probably just the same.

2.) Yes, you should worry about burn in. Every time you enter a full-screen app, you'll always see those images burned into the screen. Thing is, the burn in will only get worse.

3.) SLCD2 will not have burn in. Sure it will degrade over time (years!), but the degradation is balanced - entire screen will fade, unlike Amoled screens that will degrade one spot (pixel) at a time.

Keep in mind that LCD technology is years ahead of LED. Plus, Samsung even admitted that their Amoled screens don't have a very long lifespan.

If you intend to keep your phone, go for the One X, or better yet, the Optimus 4X HD.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jithendra194:
To avoid screen burns....as far as i know....try keeping ur screen brightness as low as possible ........
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AXIS of Reality:
My Galaxy S II has some burn-in for the status bar, which can be seen on blue backgrounds. There is also cloudy burn-in where the time is displayed in the bar. I always use maximum brightness.

Ways to minimise or prevent burn-in:

1) Set your screen time-out as low as is convenient for you (1 min with SmartStay should be fine)

2) For apps that have the option like PowerAmp and QuickPic, select NOT to display status bar.

3) If you really want to be sure, as the status bar is the most likely to burn-in since it's the only element that's consistently displayed use wallpapers that are dark or black where the status bar touches it so there's no edge.

4) In cases where the screen will be on for long periods of time while displaying certain elements consistently on screen, use a lower brightness.

5) And if you're really concerned, use a launcher such as Apex or Go Launcher EX that allows the option to hide the status bar.

But in the end, I would suggest not getting too hung up on it. By the time it could potentially become a problem such as on your original GS it should be fairly cheap to get a new replacement.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspernemec:
However SIII is capable of getting burn ins, meanwhile it wont be as fast as burn ins on SII, since SIII uses pentile matrix which means less blue subpixels which degrade much faster than green or red ones.....i own SI for year and half with blue theme since ICS release which means blue theme and there isnt much of degratation with normal usage....however screen doesnt look as it did when i bought it and im annoyed that statusbar region (which is black for most time ) has blue tint-well known to amoled screens......we can expect similar behavior oj galaxy SIII, but i think it will degrade slower because i think samsung is trying to improve lifespan od samoled
