AW: Htc Desire Shuts down at 40-50% battery

Probably your batteries are just weak now. I'd recommend you all to invest 5 bucks in a new battery. Actually that helped at my old desire. Greetings
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreakyC:
Thanks for your answers!

I tried the link of madreef and it didn't change. I will try again, maybe I did it wrong (hope it will work this time...)

@dschibril : I don't think my battery is weak because the problem occured as soon as I changed the ROM (CM10). The battery was perfectly ok before that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fkaratha:
battery drain

Hello, I have the same problem with you. Did you manage to fix it and how? Have you tried a brand new battery so far?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
It has to do with the Desire's poor battery age management system. Li-Ion batteries age, meaning that, as time passes, they're gonna be able to hold less and less milliamps. After almost two years, my Desire's battery can only hold 82% of the original ~1400 mA charge.

The only way around this is to use the Nexus One Battery Calibrator (Nexus One and our Desire share the same hardware underneath the hood). You'll need a compatible kernel and some patience. Instructions in this post.

My 2 cents: if your battery is only able to hold less than say 75%-80% of its original charge, then you should replace it. Li-Ion batteries age in such a way that they suddenly go dead, so it's not worth taking the risk.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TVTV:
Later Edit - If your Desire shuts down at say 40% - 50%, that means that your battery is 40% or 50% gone, so it's time for a replacement. I'd still try the battery calibration method i wrote about in the above post, just to determine if it's a freak software error or the battery's fault.

P.S. - Wiping battery stats does nothing to solve most issues (for the Desire, at least).

My phone turns off sometimes at 50%, sometimes at 80% of battery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lew1s:
Hi,

I thought somebody rob my phone, so I went to my network operator and they blocked it. Today I found my phone, but when I turn it on, I have no signal (no service).

Anyway they will give me a new phone, but can I somehow turn that signal on???

I tried root and Custom ROM Cyanogen 9 night but still the same. I tried SIM card from different country but still the same.

They somehow blocked my phone to turn on signal.

Please help... maybe I have to flash a new radio.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
No, that's considered stealing

The phone is blacklisted on their network, so its basically a parts phone now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
Call your carrier back and see if they can re-activate it. They should have only suspended service. Having no connection is normal when they do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lew1s:
is there possibility to change IMEI ? yes i know its illegal but is there chance ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liskrig:
It really depends on your carrier, I know Verizon will temporally suspend all service until you find your phone, unless you know for a fact it was stolen, then they will blacklist the IMEI and send you a replacement.

So unless you tell them to cancel the one they are sending you, and re-activate the one you have, then no. Basically, there is no way to get a free phone out of this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
Yes but no one will tell you due to the fact that its go to prison illegal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lew1s:
So, I can just sell the phone for parts or find somebody who can change mechanical the IMEI chip?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
call your carrier first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I always seems to see people openly discussing illegal stuff in a public forum..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lew1s:
so best way is to call my operator and tell them that i found the phone and would like to activate my IMEI on that phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
if you want to use the same phone, that is the only way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
Yes, and cancel the phone they were gonna send. Don't scam the company you arse.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lew1s:
so, tmrw i will call them and hope they will activate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
Discussion of activating a blacklisted phone is against forum rules

[Acer Iconia A500] firekip:
OK, I rooted my A500 towards the end of last year since it didn't seem like Acer was going to keep up with the latest Android operating systems.

I checked in here recently and saw that ICS has been released for the A500. Joy.

So, I used CWM v5.0.0.0(thor2002ro rev1.3.4) to try and flash the rooted Acer OTA ICS. I figured I'd try the original ICS before I start flashing other people's ICS roms.

All went well until the reboot. It froze on the ACER screen and would go no farther. I figured that perhaps the cache/data/dalvik didn't clear the first time so I repeated those steps. format data user reset, clear caches, clear bat stats. Reflashed rom.

Reboot.

Stuck at ACER screen again.

I searched the forums and found that I need a different bootloader? There are a bunch of threads, but I can't seem to make sense of them.

Can someone please give me a step-by-step plan to get this thing from where I'm at to ICS?

I did get my tab working again by repeating whole process but installed HC 3.2.1 Flexstriker r9.6. It booted up into the rom just fine.

I guess this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425 - is close to what I need but it's tough to follow with all the different options and colors/fonts...

Can anyone help me down the right path?

Thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] starkiller86:
You can flash one of Civato's old Flexreaper roms on a HC bootloader. Since it is an ICS rom you can just update the boatloader as mentioned in the thread you linked.

I would suggest flashing Flexreaper 9 or something, his newer roms require you already have the ICS BL on. After you update the BL then just upgrade to one of his newer roms. They work very well. I've personally had no problems at all with his roms.

but....

If you want the stock Acer ICS, you have to downgrade all the way back to the old 3.x unstable rom and let it update from there. It will take a few updates, but it should get you to ICS.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Sorry, but this is a development forum not questions and answer, xda is strict about keeping things organize, please read the rules and guidelines.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Any guide on this? I need it for warranty issues (charging stops after few minutes with power light flashing white / amber) Search is not working and there is no "going back to stock" thread in the dev section sticky roll-up thread.
[Acer Iconia A500] firekip:
The thought of going back down and then upgrading back up didn't appeal to me.. So, I bit the bullet and tried to make sense of the thread I mentioned... I managed to get through it and I now have the sandwich on my tablet.

What a pain in the.......

OK... ready for the jelly bean leaks now. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] firekip:
I did read the rules/guidelines..

It's a question about development (or at least how to use some developed tools), so I put it here..

If it doesn't belong here, then perhaps a mod would be so kind as to move it..

At this point, the thread really could be deleted as the original query is handled.

However, tkolev has added a question.

[Motorola Droid 4] The Optimizer:
Hey guys.. My System Version is listed as being 6.13.215.XT894.Verizon.en.us. (This phone is about a week or 2 old for me) I have installed safetsrap recovery just to see how it works etc and have successfully installed the Eclipse port on the non-safe system. Now that I am done having fun with that, I would like to upgrade my system to newer leaked versions. My question is this: Should I uninstall safestrap before attempting to flash any of the leaked updates? How should I go about removing safestrap the "best" way? Also could someone please enlighten me with the correct "order" of these releases? EG: 6.11.200, 6.11.202, 206 etc. I guess I'm confused bc my system version starts with 6.13 instead of 6.11. Any help much appreciated!
[Motorola Droid 4] tutorialbs:
I'm in the same boat as you, safestrap w/eclipse setup and I think I want to just switch to ICS 211

Pretty sure there are 2 methods, one with fastboot, and one with safestrap.

Fastboot method (droidforums.net/forum/droid-4-roms/212634-simplified-211-update-guide.html) definitely requires you to uninstall safestrap, but I think that automatically happens when you flash w/stock 219.

Safestrap method (droidforums.net/forum/search.php?searchid=4780372) allows you to just use a 211 ICS rom. But, I'm not sure if you already have to have done the fastboot ICS, I think you may have to fastboot ICS then install safestrap and safestrap into 211 ICS from 206 or 208 ICS.... Anyways, that's about where I am right now, trying to figure out if I safestrap to a 211 ICS rom from my current stock 219 GB, will it brick my phone. :/

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Oh also (droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/212864-another-ics-leak-here-droid-4-maybe-closer-ota.html) says that "212 ICS should be leaked soon". You may want to just hold tight, lots of new leaks means that something big (and easy to install for noobs like me;) ) may be coming soon .
[Motorola Droid 4] The Optimizer:
The adventure continues...

Thanks for the quick response man... I'm glad to see I'm not the only one in this situation! I've been "creeping" on this board for 2 years now, (which I can't believe how fast that time went by) and thought it was about time that I start posting etc... you know what I mean, I see that was your 4th post so, that makes 2 situations where we are in the same boat! Thanks for the links brother I have actually read those, but need to checkup on them again... ALSO, my system downloaded an update the other day, (OTA) and was automatically going to install it (I clicked on download, thinking it would just download and wait for me to do the install manually like i have been used to in the past...) So, I tried to interrupt the download by throwing my phone into airplane mode really quick and then forcing a shutdown. Next time I turned on my phone I end up seeing the "Green Android with a triangle" screen, and a progress meter.. and I KNOW what that means. Something was flashed automatically by the phone. I got nervous, but my phone booted up perfectly, and I still had root, along with safestrap intact. I'm still a bit confused by what might've happened, but am relieved that my phone is still working perfectly... strangeness. I'll update this thread w any more info I can find. Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Time out guys! First off, you cannot flash the ICS leaks in safestrap. The leaks are updates, not full ROMs. Second, you cannot flash a ROM based off the ICS leaks in safestrap unless you update you stock system to an ICS leak first. Well, you probably could, but it wouldn't boot. If you are on GB .215 you will need to update to .219 first. If you are on GB .219, and have not installed safestrap, you should be able to flash the an ICS leak via stock recovery without fastbooting. If you have installed safestrap, I believe you have to fastboot using the .219 file since safestrap changes something in the build.prop that will cause the leak update to fail.
[Motorola Droid 4] tutorialbs:
Yup, same here, I'm just taking as much info in right now as possible. I think our options are eclipse, stock 219 with frozen apps, or ICS. Oh if you use stock at all, I'd recommend upgrading to 219, I think that was a major update, my battery life has just about doubled... then again I only had my phone for about a week before upgrading, and about 3 weeks total now.

Thanks for clarifying that ^^, kwyrt, I've read some of your other posts they are always quite informative!
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Glad I could help! There are a LOT of nice, helpful people in these forums. Just keep asking questions! Doing some of this stuff can be nerve wracking even if you know what your doing. I actually, finally, got up the nerve to jump on the ICS leak train last night. If you decide to take the leap, I highly recommend using jsnweitzel's Droid 4 Utility located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1714596. Made the process much easier than it has any right to be. :D
[Motorola Droid 4] The Optimizer:
Android 4.0.4 flash Success! =)

So I decided to take the leap last night... first thing I did was every way of factory resetting I know how to do hehe. (Privacy, factory reset under settings, then a data and dalvik clear in recovery) Downloaded the GB219 file, put it on my SD, fired up the Droid 4 Utility (thanks to everyone who contributed!) and had no problems at all upgrading. I wasn't worried about root so I skipped the OTA rootkeeper process. Next I needed to get to an ICS build. Again, I used the Droid 4 utility.... only difference being that we had to flash the boot.img file first.. (ICSFIX.img). On my first go, I successfully flashed the new boot.img (ICSFIX), but then got a sig verification error when trying to flash the OTA zip. ****. Soft brick at 2AM... heh. at least I still had plenty of time. Re-DL the OTA file, copied it over again and repeated the entire procedure, this time with success. Really Glad I decided to upgrade! Thanks guys!

So I've into this issue lately where at the end of a call the touchscreen will become unresponsive. I basically have to wait for the other person to hang up and then the call to disconnect. Is there a way to force the phone to hang up without the touchscreen working? Or is there a reason why this is happening?

Finally!

I've been asking this same question over and over and no one seems to have the answer, it happens with a lot of GB phones. I'm running a ice cream rom and its still doing it, maybe when the screen starts going nuts bcz of facial moisture, who the f knows. But I hate it. Usually when people nowaways always want me to hang up 1st. Weird but true.

[HTC EVO 3D] johnmarshton:
It's from the skin moisture that's left on the screen after you have finished speaking(especially if you speak for a long time).This issue also appears when it's raining on your phone(not heavy rain,just some drops will make it go crazy).I have tested it and after I have cleaned it with my shirts everything was normal.

This is the reason why it doesn't happen while playing/browsing or other stuff(cuz the screen is not wet).

This is the reason why I usually try to keep the phone a little far from the ear.Especially in hotter seasons.

i flashed by booting in to android recovery (holding down power and vol down) and i wiped reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, then flashed zip from internal sd. then when i rebooted it shows the dual core logo with unlocked text at top, then goes black, then shows logo, then black, then logo, and keeps looping.

then i tried installing the rom from the external sd card... and same result.

this is very bad if i bricked my phone. very bad timing, im switching phones and giving this one to my mom.

please help!! ill be checking for replys to answer any questions! im desperate!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balinesecat:
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I purchased a used out of warranty HD7 - seller claimed he removed SD card. Discovered that original card was in phone and looked untouched (void sticker in place and metal foil intact). Phone boots and is usable for anything not requiring memory.

1. Tried hard reset - this did not take me to new user setup and card not recognized.

2. Tried reseating card plus hard reset- same result.

3. Tried 2 other cards, one of which was a 16 gb Sandisk class 2 - same result.

4. Discovered that the original card was recognized by my PC as unformatted and was able to be formatted, meaning no security code was written to it and suggesting that the card was never integrated into phone. Consistent with this is that the phone does not give a message about missing the sd card and saying to replace it. If this is true, I don't understand why phone was not serviced under warranty unless it was some kind of demo and not a personal phone. Retried the newly formatted card - didn't work.

5. All cards tried are recognized (brand and size) in the tri-color screen, including the absence of a card if there is none.

6. Hard resetting the phone with no card inside does take me to the new user setup.

7. The phone is on the original software and bootloader (T-mobile US). I tried reflashing this software both with and without the sd card inside. Both flashes had a hiccup at 11%, where phone screen went black, reappeared in tri-color screen with serial indicated briefly, then changed to usb and flash picked up where it left off, finished and said successful or something like that. Did not solve problem.

So card is recognized at some point but can't be written to? Reflash doesn't help so is the only conclusion that it is a hardware problem somewhere? HTC customer support was useless beyond telling me to hard reset phone.

Thanks for reading - I have run out of ideas - does anybody have any? Would flashing any other rom treat the sd card any differently or be of any use?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obarthelemy:
Hi.

I got an Android tablet for my elderly parents, but they'll struggle with the UI (too small and fiddly). I've looked everywhere for LARGE and evocative launch widgets or launchers, no luck. Either they aren't big enough, or they're just a generic icon, not a preview of the actual content (my sister's blog...). So I'll need to roll my widget, who needs to do the following:

- be very large, and resizable, the goal is 4 widgets per 10", 1280x800 screen, landscape mode... mybe that won't even be big enough and I'll need to fall back to 2 per page.

- display part of a web page (or a local static image ?), starting at a fixed offset (to skip the customary header and left menu). The web site might require a login/credentials. A zoom factor might need to be applied.

- launch a specific app or bookmark when clicked

- be configurable individually, I'll use several instances of the same widget per screen, on several screens. I'm thinking touching 2 opposite corners (a single one is not idiot proof) pops up a config menu where I can hunt for the web site to display, and either select an app to run or enter an URL to open with the default browser, set the offset/zoom, and preview the result/login to the site.

I haven't programmed in ages, and never in Java. I've fished around for tutorials but they seem to assume knowledge I don't have and/or older versions of Android.

There's a WebClip widget on the market, but its max size is way too small (2x1), there's no zoom/offset, and it fails at sites that require a login or cookie, even when Android's browser has them.

Could someone do such a widget ? I originally wanted to try it myself, but it's over my head.
