[HTC Rezound] punman:
Your question is a good one superficially, but an understanding of how the Linux kernel interacts with the hardware is necessary to fully appreciate the complexities of the issue.

Modern batteries are fairly delicate. When you plug a phone in for a charge, it doesn't just route power to the battery until its charged (and even if it did, that "until its charged" is somewhat complicated to determine.) The battery charging is controlled by software on your phone. A background process runs to regulate the charge so it doesn't over-charge, but it still rapid charges up to a certain level. Otherwise you would risk seriously damaging your battery and your phone.

When your phone is booting, not everything starts all at the same time. The kernel initializes itself, first, then detects hardware, then loads modules which know how to talk to that hardware, then it starts processes that interface with those modules. Between the time the phone is first turned on and the time that the battery module and the battery process (/sbin/htcbatt in our case) are both running, the phone isn't charging.

If you don't turn your phone on and you just plug it in, the phone will boot into a non-interactive recovery session, which is why the custom recoveries (Amon Ra, Clockwork, and TWRP) need to have that code in place to know how to charge the battery. They then also need to react the same way to the power-on hardware button as the phone would if it was actually "off" even though it seems like it's "off" to the user, other than the charging light being lit.

One of the problems people have is that they plug their phone in, it goes into the non-interactive recovery, but the recovery session doesn't recognize the power button keycode. The phone seems to "hang" as the user presses the button and nothing happens. Battery pull solves this, or adb reboot if you have it handy.

Another problem is the non-interactive recovery mode may not respond properly to unplugging it. The stock recovery will shut off at this point, so the phone returns to an "off" state. However, some custom recoveries will not, and keep running, very slowly draining the battery, until its discharged, even though to the user the phone looks like it's off.

Combine the two of these and you will recognize the problems that people have with custom recoveries and how frustrating it can be to troubleshoot if the users are not familiar with the underlying processes that are taking place when they do things like plug in USB or push the power button. Now add into the mix the problem with Clockwork lacking the /sbin/htcbatt daemon to regulate battery charging which means your phone doesn't charge at all when you think it's off and you plug it in, and people were thinking they had bricked phones when they just had a discharged and unchargeable battery.

Hope this clears some things up for you.

[HTC Rezound] rboddy:
Man, this post saved my life twice. Well not literally lol, but you know what I'm saying. I am unable to get in to bootloader using power+volume down after what appears to be a botched RUU install that I have yet to fix, unless I reboot from a ROM and use the options in the menu. I just got stuck in a failed bootup after installing a zip that didn't want to work with my ROM, and this trick helped me reboot the phone in to recovery so I could load a backup. Something happened last week too where I couldn't get the phone to boot up at all and this helped then too. I just followed the first 3 steps then did an adb reboot recovery and I was good to go. Also, this was using AmonRa. THANK YOU!!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
I downloaded CM 7.1 stable for my Nook color, and when I go to install I get an assert error with a "status 7".

I've done a lot of flashing of ROMs on my DX, but I'm wondering if there's a step I'm missing. I've pretty much just done the usual routine for flashing a new ROM:

- nandroid backup

- wipe cache,system,data,dalvik cache

- flash ROM zip file

No luck for any ROM I've tried. Anyone know what I need to do to get this to work?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
Go over the steps in my sig. If that's no help check out the links in it particularly eyeballer's and mrg666's.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
Thanks, I'll try it out. Why don't the official CM7 and MIUI builds work?

Are there other Mirage Kangs I can try out? Any good ICS ones?

Thanks again,

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
Also, I'm assuming if I have CWMR already installed I don't need the boot SD, correct?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
Same problem. I get

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "encore" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "encore" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "encore"

E: Error in /sdcard/download/encore_CM72_MiRaGe-06082012.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Does this mean I have to do the SDcard boot?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
In theory you could put any ROM in place of M-K you wanted but if you are wanting ICS I would install using one of those instruction threads. All I was suggesting was that you go over the basic steps I outline to make sure you weren't missing anything.

And yes, it sounds like something got corrupted and you need to start from scratch. I would at this point. I always look at it as time to flush the old and try out some new.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
So, I tried unrooting and doing a stock recovery, then using a boot-sdcard to flash any number of ROMs. I still get the same error.

At this point it seems something is fundamentally wrong. I tried several options on the flashing, nothing seems to get around this error.

Is there anything else I can do here?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
When you say you were able to do a stock recovery, what did you mean by that? Were you able to flash a stock ROM to emmc with recovery? Or did you do an 8 failed boot reset?

Also, what version of CWM are you using?

The problem you are having is the install zip cannot verify that it is flashing to the correct device. If it can't find that 'encore' in your properties it will abort. I'm not sure where that property is stored on your emmc, but the zip is not finding it.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
I did a factory reset from the nook settings. Is that not sufficient?

I'm using CWM 5.x (don't have it handy to check, I can get the exact version if needed).

What do you mean by emmc? I'm having to dig a little deeper on this one than I usually do, so I'm not familiar with all the terms.

It sounds like my root-revert wasn't as complete as I thought.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
No, you'll need to either flash the original version of your firmware or do an 8+1 reset.

Embedded Multimedia Card. The flash memory internal to the Nook Color.

Keep listening to leapinlar. Nothings broke beyond repair and he's teaching more than you in this thread. ;)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Emmc means embedded multimedia card. It is basically an SD card built into the Nook. It is where all of your internal information is stored. It is partitioned into 8 partitions to hold various kinds of information, like the system files for your ROM, and data that is specific to your installation (application settings, your login info, etc.).

When you did the factory reset it cleared the data info, but not the system info. That is good if you want your stuff off, but it does nothing to the system files (including the root files). So someone else could put their info in and yours will be gone.

Somewhere on one of those 8 partitions is info stored that tells the zip you are an encore. (It's 1, 2 or 3, I just don't know which). The zip is not finding it. That could be because one of those partitions is corrupt. Or the data could just be missing.

If you truly did a factory restore, like flashing a factory zip to emmc, then the info might come back.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
OK, thanks! Looks like I've got some homework to do.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikecico:
I also think I had modified some of the system info when I originally rooted this thing. It's not my device, and now the owner (much father in law) wants more than just a rooted device, he wants the full tablet experience. And I like hacking someone else's device.

Long story short, I'm learning quite a bit here, so thanks...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Try looking here (post 148). It is a Stock Rom zip for 1.4.1. Try flashing that with your CWM. Use the first one. It still has an assert statement in it so it may also fail, but it is worth a try.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heretic09:
status 7 error

I'm on and a nook tablet and I'm trying to flash 7.2 stable, I already have CM7 Alpha on the nook which the install had gone smoothly. I tried to use rom manager which gets me to clockworkmod but I get the same error - status 7 when trying to install the cm-7.2.0-encore.zip that I downloaded from cyanogenmod.com.

I've tried downloading it a couple of times, I've tried a bootable sd card but I still get status 7 when trying to install. I've followed the install guide cyanogenmod's wiki to the letter but I cannot get past that error. Anyone have any idea what might be causing it? Right now I'm back to CM7 Alpha.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It's because you are on a Nook TABLET. CM 7.2 is for a Nook COLOR. They are completely different devices. If you want to brick your Tablet, keep trying to install this!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
mikecico, are you sure you are on a nook color? They look almost identical, but the nook color has a black bezel and the nook tablet is silver. Like I said in my post above, they are different devices and that may be why the zip is rejecting the install. It's doing its job.

I just did a check on the model number, BNTV250. It's a tablet.

Sorry for the noise guys. I think he had told me it's a NC, and I used a NC root method successfully, so I had assumed that was correct.

[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
The ability to select text and sharing it seems to be rare in apps for pre-Honeycomb Android versions, so this may be a problem. This app will have limited functionality in those Android versions.

Hey xda developpers,

Here's my shot at my second ad-free app, WordLookup :)!

​

What is it?

Many of you have probably heard of the popular Google Dictionary extension for Google Chrome, which allows you to double click any word on a web page to view its definition. I have found this feature indispensable to my web browsing.

Of course, it's not possible to implement something like this in Android just yet, but this app tries to imitate its functionality. There's no need to open another dictionary app to find definitions anymore!

WordLookup allows you to view word definitions easily as you browse the web, and when using apps. It does require an Internet connection to work, however.

Simply hold&select the word you wish to look up, share it with WordLookup and a small notification popup will show a few definitions for the word! It's that simple!

Here's how to use it:

1- Hold and select the word you'd like to get the definitions.

2- Select the Share button in the menu/Action Bar.

3- Share text to WordLookup.

4- The definitions should show up in a bit as a popup(Toast) notification.

​

Supported Apps:

-ICS Android Browser

-Google Chrome

-ICS Gmail and Email app

-Pulse

-Many,many others. More will be added in this list.

Right now, this app is only tested on Android 4.0 - Ice Cream Sandwich, as many apps on earlier versions of Android do not support sharing text, your mileage may vary, though. Some parts of the program are still very rough, as this is still a beta.

Upcoming features includes offline dictionaries, and more!

Technical stuff in a nutshell:

This app gets the shared text via an intent and uses the Knicker library to fetch definitions from Wordnik (thanks to their nifty API). It then sends the definitions to a custom Toast pop-up, which is displayed on the bottom of the screen.

Bug reports! Suggestions! Angry Hate Mails!

If there's anything, feel free to reply to this thread, or PM me.

Or you can also e-mail me at houyuchen66 [at] gmail.com.

Cool! Where do I get it?

Google play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icechen1.wordlookup

If you find this app useful, a rating would be great! Please leave your feedbacks in this thread, it really helps!
[Android Apps and Games] dk2000zx:
Dammnn, finally i dont need to copy paste the word anymore into some dictionnary web site
[Android Apps and Games] jazzboyrules:
This looks like an awesome idea. Would it be possible to auto detect non-English words and auto-translate selected words using Google Translate? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
That is coming in a future version! Right now, it's mostly a proof-of-concept. Is the app working fine on your phone, however?

Can anyone with a Gingerbread, or previous version of Android confirm if this app works in these versions?

Just released a new version on Google Play that should fix these crashes, as well as implementing the native Toast look, and other fixes. Let me know if it works well now!
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Question, is it better to use a Toast notification, like now, or switch to a dialog box, which offers more optimization at the expense of more obtrusiveness?
[Android Apps and Games] dk2000zx:
maybe you should make a settings panel!
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
It already exists! And thanks for the feedback there.
[Android Apps and Games] Mesograt:
This is a cool idea, but it doesn't really function on my GB TB because the option to share text is limited (as you stated). Still, I'll be following this to see where it goes and I'll definitely give it a spin once I upgrade!

Keep up the work c:

-And a suggestion-

Do you think it would be possible to create an offline version as well and have the word lookups routed through a database in your app instead of online?
[Android Apps and Games] Atamagaokashii:
I know I'm connected to the internet via wifi and it won't connect... HTC thunderbolt on sfk almost sense 4.0/gingerbread. I could share it and everything though
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Hey Meso,

Unfortunately, the limitations on GB seems to be a hard one and cannot be fixed unless the app developer(in the case of the browser, Google) updates it to add sharing, or possibly added into a ROM or something.

And an offline version are upcoming as well, once some flaws with the app gets nailed out. I'm also thinking of using Bing's traslation service to deliver translations in a future version, as well.

Hey,

That's weird, but I may know why, will try to fix it in the next update. I am rather busy these days so you will have to be patient :(

Meanwhile, try to go on wordnik.com via your phone. It may have been blocked for some reason. Let me know if it works or not.
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Just released 0.1.2beta which includes a few buxfixes and also allows me to better identify problems(let me know if you still encounter the problem, Atamagaokashii)
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
Just released 0.1.5beta:

Changelog:

-Added a loading screen while definition is loading

-optimizations
[Android Apps and Games] Atamagaokashii:
Much better! Love it! I've been waiting for something like this for awhile. Is it possible in the next update to be able to choose or have options for where it.pulls a definition from?
[Android Apps and Games] icechen1:
I'll definitively look into it! The Wordnik API does support pulling from Wikitionary, Webster, etc. It's possible to set this from an option. Glad this app is useful for you!
[Android Apps and Games] Transparence Code:
Really nice icechen1, thank you! :good:

I was looking for an app like this 3 months ago. Especially to handle the needs expressed by dk2000zx:

and by jazzboyrules:

Since I didn't find anything, I developped my own app called CopySearch. I can't post link, but there is a thread presenting it on xda.

At the end, our 2 apps are totally different, which is fun:

same user needs + 2 different developpers = 2 apps that have nothing in common :laugh:

keep going!

I mean I know it's a very small blemish...but it's not fair that I'm sending them back a 100% perfect condition phone and the replacement they send comes cracked out of the box? (not to mention had finger prints on the camera lens...maybe was a refurb?)

I returned my first One X for wifi issues, it will say I'm connected to wifi full strength but the web won't load at all...however if I turn off wifi and turn it back on it will work again for a few hours or minutes.

I'm now having the same problem with this One X plus I'm pissed they sent a cracked one.

Do you think they'll replace a replacement? I asked for a replacement on my 30th day so it's passed the 30 days now from my original order.
