[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
My initial response to such a situation would be start the phone in fastboot mode and then flash the recovery from there. Download the ZIP here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=913094&d=1329843100, extract it and double click "recovery.bat" once the phone is in fastboot mode (start phone holding volume down, select fastboot from menu instead of recovery).

This assumes you're on Windows. If you're on Mac/Linux, find the fastboot binary for your platform and run the following command in a terminal:

./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

where recovery.img is taken from the ZIP I linked above.

Alternatively, you could install a more up-to-date recovery such as TWRP or a newer build of CWM (not sure of links for the latest versions of either, but have a look around the forum and you should find them. Also some older builds of CWM had bugs [hence this thread exists], but I think the newer builds work fine on the Explorer; not 100% sure as I still use yannou90's build)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Mayank T:
i tried your way but still the same case
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
Sounds like there's something really wrong with your phone. I'm afraid I have no idea how to proceed from there. I am assuming that the phone does not boot normally (as in, into actual Android, rather than recovery)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kpitao:
I want to find out if anybody have any fix for this:

I have the full HDMI dock (with 3 full size USB ports) and I use it a lot... it’s very convenient, here’s my setup;

I’m using a KVM cable to switch between my RAZR and my pc using the same keyboard and mouse.

I just update to ICS from GB, before the update the mouse settings was perfect, while the phone is on the dock the right button of the mouse was set to “return or go back a screen”; the left button was for “make any selection” and the scroll button would activate a “menu” on any screen.

After the update (GB to ICS) the scroll button does not work and the right and left buttons is set to “selection”.

So I just want to find out if there’s a “settings” for the mouse or if any developer car modify this settings.

Thanks a lot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] alt-brian:
This won't help you at all with your question, but my keyboard and mouse worked exactly the same after the update.

My problem is that i no longer has the Firefox that came on the hd station.

Do you still have the hd station's Firefox available after your ics update?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nothing0:
I'm sorry that I can't help either. If you dont' mind, please explain the setup in noob speak and I will try it. I have the HD Station, so what else would I need to make this work?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Is the O4X's battery life as bad as gsmarena is saying? Just a little over 4 hours of video playback and 4 hours of web browsing?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
If you read the comments of the blog article on it, you will see that there is a lot of discussion over the brightness.

By comparison to the SGS3 and One X, the Optiums has a much brighter screen which will mean a lower battery life. Of course if they set all the phones to the same actual brightness (not percentage) the numbers would be different.

I am currently waiting delivery of my 4X, but after I have conditioned the battery (let the handset configure itself to the battery), I'll definitely be seeing what its capable of.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
Alright thanks, I hope you'll be able to get back to this thread when you find out more.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] crewol:
I've had mine since friday and I think I've charged it about 3 or 4 times now and the battery life is getting better. It lasted only about 2 hours when I first charged it and started it for the first time. But I was using it constantly.

Today I started it in the morning (fully charged) before going to work and now, 10 pm, it's been on for about 16 hours and I have 40% left. Data have been on all day and I've been signed in to Google Talk all day, I've browsed the web for a total of aprox. 1 hour, used the camera, tested the GPS and been chatting with a friend on talk. So I'm pretty satisfied so far.

It's better than my O2X.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Sharpshooterrr:
That's good to hear. How many hours was the screen on?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] crewol:
I'm not sure unfortunately. But i would say between 2-4 hours.

Edit: okay it was a little less than I thought. The. Battery usage in settings says the screen have been on for two and a half hours. And that's including the time I have used after 40%. I'm down to 25% now.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] space79:
My Battery lasts after a few cycles all over two Days with medium Usage (No gaming - WA, FB, eMail)........
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gotchaaa:
i ca go for 1 day, with a bit gaming and usual use.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Mordin Solus:
I have slightly longer battery life on my 4X HD than on my Nexus S when using the phones in the same way (casual use). But I think there is room for improvment on the battery life with more optimized software either from LG or when we start seeing custom roms for this device.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
I charged mine to 100% and just dropped 8% in 25 minutes, 20 minutes of that was driving and not using the phone, no Bluetooth or anything like that. The battery life is shocking and can't wait for extended ones to become available. Besides that I truly love this phone :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alexp999:
How many complete charge cycles have you done?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] thisismyusernametoo:
When I got my p880 I did 3 battery cycles, and I could only get about 8 hours of standby alone, no other use at all. I then did a factory reset and formatting of the memory card, which I hadn't done when I switched from my old SE X8. Now my p880 can easily go more than a day with some gaming, calls, browsing etc. My guess is that old android files on the memory card was the reason for the bad battery life. No expert though, maybe someone else has a better idea.

Today I tried the Chrome browser, and it really drained the battery. Something like 20% after browsing for 15 mins. Anybody else have experience with this?

Overall I'm really happy with this phone, great screen, fluid operation, good battery.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rd-Target:
I've had battery drainage issues with the chrome browser as well. Even in stand-by the browser would drain the battery. It has only happened like two times for me in the four weeks i've had the phone, so not a biggy but still something you should be aware of, if you experience battery drainage issues
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ianford10:
I keep topping it up as I run most of my business from my phone so need it to have lots of juice in it. Today I'm going to completely drain it so it turns off then fully charge it again and see what happens :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] ankydu:
Guyz I have bought Motorola atrix 2 as my secondary device and I also need to record my voice calls on it. But to my horror as I am searching in play store most of the apps say they do not work with Motorola devices. Can anyone suggest a working call recorder app for atrix 2. All my money will be wasted if call recording doesn't work on atrix 2. Please help?
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
Not gonna happen. Apparently some (I think) chinese firmware versions have this, but the in-call button tones don't work.

But sometime they record 2-ways, sometime 1-way (in) ?_?
[Motorola Atrix 2] john1989:
call recording might not fully work with our Atrix 2 because of motorola policy.

I've tried many paid apps from google play but having no luck so far
[Motorola Atrix 2] RowanOak:
Guys, unless you're running the Asian Retail. (I think it was that one...) you aren't going to get in-call recording to work that way...this leaves you with the option of speakerphone+recording app. I use Tasker...whenever I'm in a call and put my phone face down, it switches on speaker and starts recording.
[Motorola Atrix 2] anikadam:
I am on AsiaRetail so yeah, maybe thats why its working for me

I just realized that GPS reciever of desire S is not working when I stay in my room. But Sumsung Galaxy S Advance is working very well in my room. Does anyone know how to improve HTC Desire S's GPS reciever indoor performance ?

See screen capture. I capture while I'm in side my house but It's appear about 400m from my current location and I have been waiting for 5 minutes to get the GPS reciever working.

and i think gps not able to lock on while in a house is not really an issue :cyclops:

[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
WTF are you playing at dude?

Why are you re-opening an old thread (From September last year) in the Dev forum just to ask the same damn question you keep asking in here?

You have been told repeatedly that GPS is NOT designed for indoor use. You have confirmed that your GPS works fine outside. What is your problem? If you are indoors then you surely know where you are - it's not as if GPS is going to help you find the toilet, or find your arse :eek:

The Dev forum is for Development - not for pointless questions.
[HTC Desire S] click9666:
So you mean I'm damn... Ok I'm damn but. Why I can get Samsung Gallaxy S Advances work in door perfectly but not Desire S? What make sense to me is If it work in a house or building is benefit of finding and also can provide us a location where we can find each other easy.... Also maybe you can find my ass also.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Because the Desire S has a weak GPS antenna design. Everybody here knows that - it has been discussed to death. The thread you re-opened states that and the reasons for it, along with a possible hardware fix if you want to try a bit of soldering.
[HTC Desire S] click9666:
Good to know that... Sh** Desire S.... I will get new one soon then...

well, it's not ****ty.. what are you going to do with gps indoor? direction to kitchen? :laugh:

How about you are trying to check in or create new location(accurately) on facebook or google + you have to go outside building for just that reason? It's waste time...

Hello,

I literally broke my SGS2. it has been bent. obviously the display is cracked, but it seems that also some of the internal electronics have been damaged, since it is not detected as phone anymore when i plug it in via usb.

is there any way to save some data from the internal sd card?

i am thinking about unsrewing everything and wiring the sd card up manually to an sd card reader.

it was rooted and had hydrogen mod running. usb debugging was enabled.

thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Doubt it. You could get in touch with a company that does recovery of borked hard drives & they might be able to help you. An authorised Samsung repairer might also be able to help. Your chances of doing it yourself are slim to zero (probably the latter given if you were capable of doing it yourself you wouldn't be asking on here & would probably have already had a go at it). If you don't have backups I wouldn't be getting my hopes up.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilw:
I can no longer access my SD card from my windows pc when connected by USB. This occurred on the same day that i unlocked my bootloader, installed the java sdk and android sdk.

I have the phone set MSC (mass storage mode) and connect it by USB as I always did in the past.

Windows recognises that something is connected and a new removable drive is created.

In the past my phone would give me the option to connect the memory card, however this no longer happens.

Clicking on the new drive in Windows causes a message box to pop up saying "Please insert a disk in drive..."

No amount of fiddling with usb settings (debugging, MTP, etc) plugging / unplugging or rebooting has made any difference. I've tried reinstalling USB drivers and removing & reinstalling Sony PC companion. I've also tried accessing the sd card from ubuntu in a virtual machine, but that also doesn't work.

I can view the SD cards contents from my phone and through an adb link.

Does anyone have a solution? From extensive googling, the only things i can see that i haven't tried is:

- trying a different cable (which has been suggested but sounds pretty daft to me)

- reformatting the sd card

Any other suggestions? If i do have to format the sd card, are there any good guides or is there anything i need to avoid doing???
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Can you read the card from a card reader.

if you can it is then either drivers or the cable

it will definitely work with a card reader...this problem occurs when usb storage suddenly stops working as soon as usb is connected..i guess best way is to reinstall ROM if the problem persist.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiwi_radical:
If you find some fonts in apps too small, and changing system font size doesn't make any difference you might find an on-screen magnifier useful. Google TalkBack v3.0.8 r47 Beta for a version of Talkback that provides an on screen magnifier that enlarges the screen to make small fonts readable. It also enlarges icons, pictures etc. Install it, then in Settings, Accessibility you'll find there is the option to turn on the on-screen magnifier.

I find it v useful. One minor drawback, with the magnifier on, and even with Talkback off you get a voice readout of any button presses in camera...turning off the magnifier stops that.

You can try flashing a new radio and see if it helps at all. Or flashing back to the one you had before you changed it unless ROM requires it. Best of luck hope you get your issue solved.

Anyone else running ICS have an issue with Crackle?

I can't figure it out...

Reinstalled Crackle several times. Also reinstalled Adobe Flash. Both programs are the latest version from Play. I wiped cache, repaired permissions, etc. No dice. The application starts, but everytime I try to play a movie, the screen goes white for a second then is replaced by a blank screen. No video and no audio.

FWIW, Netflix streams just fine and Flash video works ok when using the browser or YouTube applications.

I believe Crackle worked just fine with GB but I can't recall now. Not a huge deal if I can't get it working, but it would be nice if I could.

Any suggestions?

I too have this issue, and have not figured out what is causing it yet. Yes, Crackle does work fine with GB. However, I was thinking, but might be wrong, but it could have something to do with the Kernel version. The only reason I was thinking that is that I have stumbled across where you cannot install Crackle on a FF18 Kernel. It is just a thought.

Do most ROMs out now include the native Facebook integration that was missing from the OTA? I understand JB won't until source is out.

I'm currently running LiquidSmooth and want to try something else, but for me Facebook integration is make it or break it for having contacts shared. I use HaxSync for pictures.

I don't see it listed as a feature on many ROMs I've looked at recently. Is this just a given that it's included now (have been out of the game for a few months) or am I really limited to only a couple ROMs with this?

Thanks!
