[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
Today, I was in a pickle because I was in a part of town I had no idea about, I was driving to and from about three places with important documents that needed to be delivered where people were waiting on me to close on a house.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to get my phone brightness up via the notification menu quick settings, open maps and find a location and navigation to there, long pressing to multitask, and text, and I was just going to fast for the phone. It was bogged down and in that hectic moment, it was just frustrating. I forgot I could have used task manager. I wonder if that would've helped me.

I love the phone. It feels great in my hand and looks sexy both physically and in its display, but this phone should not perform like the EVO 4G. I'm an HTC fanboy, but I am not above calling out a flaw. If I were an android developer wizard, I would try to fix it. But no.

I'm just trying to relate and say, I get you. ^_^
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gdrocks:
Task manager helped in that it simply exited EVERYTHING. It kicked me out of navigation, stopped the music and brought me down to about 450MB used. Odd thing was that even though nothing was listed as running, everytime I hit refresh the memory usage was increasing.

It probably is because of sense, but it just looks so nice!

If your rooted, try AutoKiller Memory, it tweaks the OOM settings of the kernel making it more efficient while managing your dormit and active memory cycles.

The dev has a great resource page you can learn much about what happens in the Android world when it comes to memory utilization.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] boomer8403:
Out of curiosity what are your OOM levels set at and does it help with multitasking on our devices?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] megabiteg:
First, in the Development options I keep the Backgroud process limit the Standard and I set the AutoKiller Memory to Strict profile, which has given me good results so far, but you can play around with your settings because I know we don't have the same amount of apps or configuration overall.

Keep in mind also that I am not running a custom ROM, I'm STOCK rooted only without bloatware removed or any major changes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] davidcooper375:
Hi All,

I bought the GS3 on a UK contract with t-mobile, however I immediately gave the sim to my other half, and instead chose to use my virgin sim card.

Do I still use the rooting guide stated for the GS3 t-mobile version?

(upon inserting the virgin sim the phone asked me what provider to use t-mobile or virgin...)

Help would be appreciated.

if you have a UK Galaxy S3 wouldn't that mean you have the non-US "international" version ?

In which case your phone is totally different from the one TMo is giving to us American folk... I'd ask in the 9300 forum to be honest.:confused:

[NFC Hacking] Evergreen74:
Hi all,

Ok, so I got a Xperia P that came with two NFC tags... I was playing with them and I have to say that I find them very useful... but I have a question: I use one of the tags for driving, so when I enter in the car and the tag is scanned, both GPS and bluetooth turns on. Also, I also disable screen rotation.

But would like to know if there an easy way to revert all those actions once I get out of the car... that is: to turn off both GPS and bluetooth and enable the automatic screen rotation... any ideas?

Thanks

PS: sorry for my poor English
[NFC Hacking] c903jerk:
Get another tag to turn them off.
[NFC Hacking] JamesR913:
You could set the tag up asa a switch using nfc task launcher.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulsifer:
I hope someone in this community is able to help. I've already been scouring Google this morning for people with a similar issue and haven't been successful in getting my phone to come back so I suspect there may be a hardware issue.

Here's a summary of the problem:

My phone shutdown this morning while I was listening to a podcast. It got stuck in a boot loop at the splash screen, constantly rebooting itself. A battery pull would not solve the problem. I was able to get it into HBOOT (version 0.92) but when I tried going into recovery from there, It got stuck on the splash screen (no looping). Before all this I had been running Nils Business Gingersense for quite a while and things were working fine, in case anyone needs that detail.

After failing to boot to recovery, here are some of the things I have tried to fix this issue:

1. Factory reset in HBOOT

2. Flashed RUU 2.2 and then tried RUU 2.3.4 through HBOOT. Though neither of these would get the phone to come up, the splash screen reboots stopped and the phone just freezes in splash screen now (over 30 minutes with no change).

3. Tried to reflash CWM 5.0.2.0 through Fastboot. Although the phone is recognized by 'fastboot device', it says 'remote: not allowed' when try to flash the .IMG file.

4. Tried to flash an older CWM recovery from when I originally rooted my phone --same 'not allowed' error

5. Ran the official RUU for Froyo on my PC and it looked promising but I never got past the splash screen afterward a reboot.

6. I don't know a ton about ADB but ADB does not recognize my device even though Fastboot does.

At this point I'm not sure what else to try. It seems promising that I can get into HBOOT and that Fastboot will recognize my phone but what can I do with that now?

Thanks for any ideas you might have.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Have you tried flashing cwm thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip? http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip. If that dosent work you could try to update hboot to 1.02 and htcdev unlock it. This will allow extended fastboot commands. You can do this on the htcdev website. Or you could downgrade hboot to the 0.77 engineering bootloader http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/ENG_Hboot_0.77/PB31IMG.zip which basicly does the same thing, and might be a better option than upgrading. You are s-off right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulsifer:
Yes, I still have S-OFF. I did try flashing several recoveries through hboot and they all acted like they updated fine but I wasn't able to boot into any of them because I kept getting frozen at the white screen after choosing recovery from hboot. I will try another hboot and see if that makes any difference. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mulsifer:
Cmlusco, I tried the CWM version you posted with hboot .92 and .77 but had no luck. I also tried walking through the hboot upgrade steps on the htcdev site but I couldn't get the RUU exe to find my phone. This is odd because an older RUU found the phone just fine earlier today.

Hi

Just a quick question. I have a company work phone HTC Mozart. When I take the sim out and stick in another sim from the same operator I get sim locked. It seems to only work with the one sim it came with.

Is this even possible??

How would I go about unlocking the phone. Have we gotton to the stage where any of the custom roms are operator unlocked.

Thanks

So if I tap the top of my screen or shake my phone I hear some sort of "tick" sound. Anyone noticed this? Is this normal or?...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jowabi:
It's the loose power/wake button on the right hand side. This is common in Samsung phones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenjen:
I'm actually pretty convinced it's coming from higher (somewhere near the camera). Also if I hold the button still with my finger I still hear the sound. It's pretty obvious when you tap on the screen. When you tap on the top of the screen it kinda sounds clicky while on the bottom just "normal"
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenjen:
I just want to know whether this is normal or not.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amos91:

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Damn you - hadn't noticed this and now it will bug me :)

I thought it might be the internal part of the headphone connector at first but more playing (and tapping) and I agree, I'm sure it's the front (earpiece) speaker cover bit.

Guess they are all like this, not something most people (me included) would notice until you try.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenjen:
Yeah I just noticed it even though I already had mine for some time. It kinda bugged me. But knowing that it is normal makes me find it less irritating.

I wanted to share my experience with following this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1709296

i unfortunatly do not meet the 10 post limit

Following the process i got stuck here

Now it's time to reboot

adb reboot

After phones reboots

adb remount <-----------------HERE---------------------------
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot

ADB told me that i dod not have the correct permissions to push the SU file to the phone. The phone would boot, but would not load the widgets or bottom menu. Attempting to open settings would prompt Android.Core to crash.

Scary stuff

The problem was with the ADB Reboot command. It normally reboots the phone properly, but when i ran ADB Reboot, the phone cut power (off) instead of rebooting. Something did not go as intended and i needed to power on my phone, and reboot it manually without the USB cable connected (lagged too much).

After that, the ADB Remount was successful and the rest of the process ran smoothly. I am happily rooted :D

Thank you to all

[Motorola Droid 4] mxgoldman:
So I decided just to see what my fastboot looked like - attached.

Is that normal for it to be unlocked? Everything I've heard says this is supposed to be super locked down.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
I think it says "bootloader LOCKED" in the fastboot screen. That means, you can ONLY flash motorola compiled operating systems (specifically kernels).;

If you want to try, run a fastboot unlock-bootloader command when running in fastboot. A locked bootloader will tell you something along the lines of "command not valid"
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
Do not flash anything on your phone. That looks to be a unlocked bootloader!
[Motorola Droid 4] mxgoldman:
Wait, wouldn't that be a positive that would make flashing them easier?
[Motorola Droid 4] jsnweitzel:
I emailed someone who knows these things. He says its an engineering model. So it doesn't help the rest of us.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
I think he meant "don't flash anything that might overwrite your unlocked bootloader" :laugh:

Anyway we could pull it or something? Probably not eh? OP, where did you get?!
[Motorola Droid 4] mxgoldman:
Makes more sense.

That's my little secret. ;)

I could probably pull whatever from it, but I'd need some help for what you'd like pulled. Haven't rooted it or anything yet.
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
didnt this happen with a GSM RAZR before? dont get me wrong, i'd love to unlock my bootloader! someone bring this to their attention
[Motorola Droid 4] Mioze7Ae:
FYI, on Milestone XT720, Motorola left a partially working fastboot--we can "fastboot boot boot.img" to boot self-built kernels and this bypasses the signature checks. But you have to boot via USB each time, if you use "fastboot flash boot.img" fastboot will write the kernel and reboot, but the signature check will fail after reboot.

[Motorola Droid 4] rzrbck:
FWIW, the "SE" is the giveaway. If it said "S", you would be in business.
[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
Rzrbck, how so, if it could be retrieved from the phone? Maybe I'm not understanding, but if we had that bootloader is it not like the normal S model with full permissions to the phone?
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
what makes it an engineering model? are the physical components the same, or is it a software setting that if we changed could unlock the phone?
[Motorola Droid 4] niai_mack:
would it be possible via hardware to dump an SE bootloader, and flash it to a S devic? I would be willing to give this a go if its possible.
[Motorola Droid 4] rightonred:
if we could get the bootloader images off that phone an unlock for the Droid 4 might be possible. Assuming, of course that both the S and the SE model use the same keys.
[Motorola Droid 4] mxgoldman:
Tell me what I can do to help.
[Motorola Droid 4] rightonred:
I wish I knew what to do, but in the mean time, here's some literature on how the lock works (it's for the milestone, but the d4 might use the same infrastructure).

The bootchain:

http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Booting_chain

The mbmloader: this loads the bootloader, if this is replaced with a version that doesn't check signatures, the bootloader can be permanently replaced:

http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Mbmloader

The mbm (bootloader) does it's own signature check of the kernel before booting it.

If either the key burned into the phone's fuse, or the key the mbmloader uses to check the mbm are the same on both devices, one or both of those partitions can be flashed with with the unlocked version. If they're both different, this is a dead end.

The only other option after this (aside from espionage)would be to crack the signature system directly by either creating an unlocked version of the bootloader and patching it in a way that it generates the same hash, or discover a new way to factorize large (2048 bit) numbers, and reverse engineer motorola's private signing key. (If you were to discover this factoring method, nearly every security company would have to retool.)

edit: careful updating your phone, an OTA can relock your phone. The more I read, it seems less likely that the bootloader is encrypted. Dumps should be made, but this is going to require someone with greater knowledge than I.
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
how would we go about doing this?
[Motorola Droid 4] rightonred:
It seems like you load a special kernel module to unhide the bootloader partitions then simply use the dd command to make an image copy onto the sdcard.

iow, we need a dev.
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
well the only ones i know might be kholk, hashcode, and p3droid
[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
This got quiet. No news on this yet?
[Motorola Droid 4] The Magician Type 0:
I think I read somewhere this happened on another device, unlocked bootloader engineering model, and it was concluded nothing could be done to unlock the standard bootloader, so there's probably nothing that can be done here.
[Motorola Droid 4] smile_ppl:
Well that may be, but because of this there is some hope in achieving an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid 4] rightonred:
do you know which device it was?

I know we're pretty much counting on motorola to have made a goof somewhere with this engineering phone, which is unlikely. I still think it is a good idea to have a copy of this phones partitions (not just the bootloader, but some of the other partitions that contribute to the lock/signature process as well) on hand just in the off chance that they might be usefull.
[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
IIRC, It was the Razr and it was during some big get together. But I can't be 100% sure.
[Motorola Droid 4] DirtyDroidX:
I hate to rain on everyone's parade but this does not do nothing for the consumer counterparts. You can pull anything you want for the phone and it still won't matter . We find unlocked engineering units all the time.

Now whoever has this phone my suggestion is to ONLY use the motor developer fastbootfiles.

If those where not found yet chances are. You will lock it back up if you run regular fast boot files.

Best person to ask about this is TBH, hashcode,

mbm, or kholk. They cam get into more detail on how it works .

I have same device, with unlocked bootloader, status code 1.

This can help someone?
[Motorola Droid 4] rightonred:
Is the mbmloader image identical to the production version? if so it might be useful, thats the bootloaders bootloader, it only loads motorola approved bootloaders and your potentially unlocked bootloader is one. also is mbm signed?

Is mbm identical? if so then the unlock switch is not in the bootloader, and this is probably a dead end.

It's my opinion that the hardware in your phone is not in high security mode, thus signature checks are off, and that is the only reason your phone can boot the unlocked software, and that the locked state is set by a hardware efuse.

heres the booting chain of the motorolla milestone, may be usefull: http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Booting_chain

Also while you're at it you may try compiling a custom clockworkmod recovery for your phone, not that it would be very usefull atm, but because you can.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Just compared your dump to the latest fastboot files, unfortunately the bootloaders are identical. This means that the unlock switch is not stored within, so the dump is not that useful.:rolleyes:

getting this when i put on charge,also getting a yellow triangle with a battery on it and phone randomly turns of,should i just buy a new battery or is it a bigger problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanillaCracker:
When I plug it in and it has the little yellow triangle that means the battery is critically low; meaning that it is so low that there is not even enough juice to turn the phone on while plugged in. Generally that means you just charge the phone for a couple, or few minutes, and it'll no longer be in that critcally low stage, and you can turn it on. Also, I've gotten the yellow triangle with a thermometer in it before. That means your battery, or phone temperature is too high/hot and basically I think it drains your battery and or stops charging. I've had that too once because I used an LG charger which had a higher voltage (if you use a charger with a reallyyyy high voltage - compared to what you should use, your phone can also catch on fire..). So those are the two Triangles I've gotten, but most likely you got the low battery one. Just let it charge for a bit. The random shut off is because the battery is really low....? My guess is either you don't know what is going on in which case read the above. Or that your battery won't hold a charge, and even though you've charged it for a while, it's still saying it is critically low. If that's the case look into getting a new battery, or also try a different charger first. May be the charger is not charging the batt, but i doubt it. Good luck

Any better luck today? If it goes on and off, I'd say your battery is probably ****ed haha. Considering you tried two DIFFERENT chargers and they both didn't work (assuming both your chargers worked fine before). I don't want to like direct you toward getting a new battery or anything, but honestly that seems like a very likely explanation.
