Long press back button to kill the current app. Cyanogenmod and MIUI Roms already have it :good:

Unnecessary and battery consuming apps can be killed right away without the trouble of going to the application menu every #@! time... :o

Can some developer perhaps make this possible for the XPS?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Swipe the app away from the list when you long press home.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noob.fl:
its not nessesary if you use the go back button to quit the app and not the homebutton.

and open, but recently not used apps dont needs battery ;) but to close apps all the time if they have boot recivers needs alot of battery ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaizokan:
I can't.. you mean the 'recent' list with a max of 8 apps right? i can't swipe at all in that list

edit: I'm on GB by the way ;) but thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaizokan:
Ah i thought not all apps close when pressing the back button, but i just tried it again with some apps, but they do close :o unless they are necessary in the background offcourse but i was more concerned about cached processes, do they use battery or resources (except RAM) can they restart themselfs and maybe for example connect to the internet
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] eh_hk:
I don't know I can do that

thanks:cowboy:

Zeus ROM for Optimus Black have this mod, if you devs want to give a look :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kaizokan:
Thanks :) that ROM uses a modded version of the Xperia S home launcher! :good: ;)

Do you also know about cached processes, (except RAM usage) can they restart themselfs and maybe for example connect to the internet or do something else. Or is it just cached 'frozen' in memory and nothing more, until its needed again on command

It might be worth someone throwing together a noobs quide to what is what when it comes to fiddling with their android device...

Granted, I haven't looked around the whole of XDA to see if there already is one... and if no one else is willing to do one then I will do one myself :)

But it might be a one stop shop for some/most of the most common questions and some of the typical noob ones like 'What is a Kernel' or 'what is rooting and it's benefits' etc... Including some that maybe people are afraid to ask in fear of ridicule?

People may know that rooting is a benefit but may not know why... or what a Kernel is apart from a mini house for a dog lol...

Always looking out for the little guy ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stranded.eu:
Hey today I've noticed that when I gently push the headphone jack cable/plug to the right (while holding the phone in front of me) the sound cuts off on the left headphone.

It doesn't matter which headphones I use, it always happens.

Here's a picture I did:

However it doesn't happen on it's own (at least not yet..). It only happens when I pull the cable by accident (and then fixes itself right away) or gently push it towards right.

Is this a common issue in HTC phones? I've googled the problem and I see that Desire models had the same problem, well kind of, the jack was too lose after time.

Is this fixable on my own, or do I have to send it over warranty when it finally brakes (I just assume it will someday).

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
unless you can find the jack and are real good @ soldering you'll have to send it in for replacement. I have a few g2s in the family all somewhat old and none have this issue. I have heard of others mentioning it though. of course I assume you have ruled out the headset as the problem, trying others?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stranded.eu:
Tried 3 pairs of headphones, it's not a problem though, it doesn't happen on it's own, I've also asked my friend (he has the G2 as well) and he says this happens to him too but only on the original headphones. Until it works fine I won't be sending it for repairs (we can't really get replacements that easily where I live) - I can't afford not to have a phone for 2-3 weeks.

I guess that the metal thingy just resized itself while putting in some other than original jack plug into it. That's too bad.

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awumpa:
Oh, crap. Same thing happens with mine, I though I had broken it. Guess it's common?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterscent:
Tried it, but had no problems with 2 different headphones. Having the phone in tight jeans with headphones can cause some problems. I would recommend not pushing it around, as you might damage the rest of the circuit.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stranded.eu:
You will NOT believe this. I rooted my phone today, installed Mimi ICS rom.

The problem disappeared completly (I am 100% positive on this, tried to push it VERY hard a second ago). How the **** is that possible? Can anyone explain?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agazza:
My Desire Z changes songs everytime i push that, it´s really annoying at the gym.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasty:
We are all familiar with the inconvenient rigmarole of having to "disconnect" a USB memory device before removing it, otherwise there is a risk of data corruption etc...

Am I correct in assuming that because the Galaxy S3 doesn't connect to the PC as a USB mass storage device, then there is no special disconnection procedure necessary (apart from the obvious precaution of not removing it while it's busy communicating)?

I'm fairly confident about this, but I don't want to risk bricking my expensive toy!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The reason for having to eject before disconnect is because the computer directly accesses the raw storage in the phone or USB-Stick.

MTP however is a protocol between 2 computers which does not know a mounted or dismounted state. It only knows a 'busy' and an 'idle' state. If you disconnect it in the busy state it will revert the current action (e.g. delete the partially transferred file).

There is no such thing as data corruption with such a protocol.

Should you however mount your phone's SDcard as mass-storage device (there's a script/app for that, requires root) the usual rules apply.

Btw: you can't really brick a device by unsafely unplugging it. Only the data on it.

In the case of a phone that means your storage partition, not the internal data partition.

Nice explanation, thanks for this, I was a little concerned about not have the 'eject' option showing in Windows 7, this has put my mind at ease :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] wayde84:
I did a quick search and didn't see anything on completely removing the sprint boot animation. Can it be done? If it can, can someone point me to the post that explains how to do so? Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] hdmunger:
Assuming you could totally remove it, are you wanting just a blank screen during the boot process or just something different?

For totally blank, try deleting (or better yet, just renaming) the bootanimation.zip in the system/media directory of your system (you must be rooted to do any of these procedures). To totally remove the red 'M' logo at the begining of the boot you'll have to replace it with a blank (black) image (see below).

To change the boot logo, go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248221.

To change the boot animation, go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257590 and use one someone else created or learn to make one of your own.

[HTC Desire S] chninkel:
Hi guys, I know it has already been asked but after a lot of research, I can't figure out how to make a goldcard without a working phone.

They're many peoples saying it's possible to do it using a SDcard reader but nobody says how.

The phone boots only in fastboot, no recovery, branded, hboot 0.98.0000 s-on and the misc version is to high (2.10.401.5) to use previous RUU.

Any advices ?
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
This won't help with creating a goldcard, but if you downgrade the misc_version as described inhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28009045, you can flash an older RUU.

Sent from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] chninkel:
Thanks for your reply but it will not work because the guy has no adb access (this is not my own phone).

He can boot only in fastboot so, no recovery, no way to use htcdev with this hboot, no... Nothing except, IMO, Goldcard + RUU 2.10.401.9.

Yeah I get it too, idk if is Google part or samsung screw something up
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Stephen1125:
Just found this on another website.

"the process named "google.process.gapps" is for Google Contacts Sync. You can go to Settings-->Accounts & sync and disable sync for contacts. That should halt the sync app crashes.

To fix the underlying problem may require system updates, clearing data, factory data reset, etc. ...depending on what version of the OS you are running, and what other symptoms are."
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nva225:
Thank you! This has been driving me crazy. Contacts didn't work for me, but I unchecked everything and incrementally added more, hitting sync after each check, and found that "sync internet" was killing it for me.

I'm not sure what this syncs really, but it doesn't sound too important. Much prefer my non-crashing phone.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jvoisin:
I had the exact same issue. "Sync Internet" was the cause. If I disable and then re-enable it, it crashes the app immediately.. Turned that off and it seems to be behaving much better..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] das7982:
Go to option>settings>applications>manage applications> all> then find google framework>then clear cache and data>reboot phone>profit

Also, you need to boot into CWR and wipe dalvik cache if your phone is rooted. :good:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nmartine:
Sync Internet is the culprit

I agree with jvoisin. After experimenting several times with Sync options, the one that always caused the com.google.process.gapps error was "Sync Internet", disabling it cleared the issue for me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] spankycarbowski:
Fix for those who like 'internet sync'

I had this issue as well - But I personally like to have my internet bookmarks etc sync with my device.

I can't remember where I read this fix: but all you need to do is go to settings->applications manager-> all -> internet -> Clear Data.

Open up your browser again, and it will re-log you in on your google account and sync internet correctly.

Hope this helps.

I have been using a ps2-active usb adapter to run my old clicky keyboard to my A200, but thought that I will be upgrading to a 500 or 510 or 700 shortly so was going to try a micro usb-> female full sized usb cable since the full sized usb port is missing on most current tablets. I bought one on amazon but didn't get any connection and then saw it was a OTG cable after I ordered. I wasn't even sure to check first hand if there is any difference between a micro -> female full usb port cable that is OTG vs. non-OTG... or if I just have a defective cable. :confused:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KHiss:
Hi

I recently purchased a second hand htc desire locked on Orange UK.

The phone seemed to be running fine (not 100% sure though) at the beginning. The first thing I did was to unlock the phone, by using the method posted on the giffgaff site.

Everything seemed to be running fine at the beginning, but after a while the phone started rebooting randomly. It escalated to the point to where it would not go past the HTC logo, and just went into a reboot circle. The only thing that helps in this situation is taking out the battery for a couple of minutes and than it would boot up.

I figured it was a software issue, so I tried installing a custom ROM. It took a while but I managed to ROOT the device and install the CyanogenMod 7 (latest). The installation was successful but unfortunately the reboot issue hasn't changed at all.

I would have wanted to reverse the unlocking procedure that I did at the beginning, but there's nothing about how to do it.

The other possible solution I found, is to do a RUU. I wasn't able to find a ROM made for Orange UK version, so I went with RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121865.exe figuring that that is the generic one for EU. The problem is that from what I can tell Cyanogen doesn't have HTC Sync mode for USB connectivity, and when I try to do it without it gives me an USB connection error. I checked and from what I can tell I have the drivers installed for it.

I'm stuck at this point so any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.: I also made a gold card for the phone but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it.

-edit-

I also noticed that it tends to reboot especially when I try to enter recovery mode

-edit2-

In all fairness I never managed to access recovery mode from the HBOOT menu. It always took me to the HTC Logo, and then went into a reboot cycle. The way that I managed to access the Recovery mode was either through rom manager or direct recovery reboot from cyanogenmod

I rooted my phone using the wiki guide for Cyanogenmod, but now tried to return to stock and seem to be having problems.

Using ROM Manager, I reverted back to my backup, however I can't seem to get any updates. No notifications of an available update, and manually checking for one says my phone is up to date.

Before rooting I had downgraded so I know I'm not at the latest version.

I tried unrooting my phone by following a video saying to remove these files with a file manager :

system/bin/su

/system/binx/su

/system/app/superuser.apk (something like that)

There was no su file in /system/binx

Is there an easy way to just revert to factory settings, no root, and working updates?

Thanks in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
you can try flashing the proper ruu via hboot. why not just flash a new rom alltogether? I mean you rooted your phone, are you not after superuser function? a better os? there are custom roms very similar to stock to pick from and also many that are far superior, either way...

Flashed new rom

Hi

I was indeed looking for superuser access, but was now giving the phone away to a family member who didn't have interest in anything special.

I also had trouble rooting it again after I deleted the files, but got it working after simply pushing the files back on, so I flashed the MIUI Rom which looks great and user friendly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klluckey:
The phone is still running the ROM that came from carrier and has been unmodified and everything works so I checked several other devices from the same carrier which is a small company in the USA called GCI Alaska all display the same as below

PCode:GT-I9100LKLTPA

*#1234# displays:

PDA: I9100XXKI3

Phone:I9100XXKH3

CSC:Unknown

*#272*IMEI# does display an option to choose "TPA" but it's definitely not in Panama.

Sorry I'm obviously very clueless about CSC...but any post I find indicates things won't work if you don't have a CSC set, which mine doesn't and everything works fine.

Of course I want to flash some ICS ROMs but there don't seem to be any with USA code little lone for GCI Alaska.

So does this mean this device would work with just about any English ROM?

I presume most ROMS flash with the CSC code and I'm guessing you can select a blank one, I'd appreciated any light someone could shed on this, thoughts, etc.
