[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terminator19:
Firstly I have a HTC one S, stock, not rooted.

I have disabled everything twitter related, however, in better battery stats, the process "tpd" is still showing and using a fair bit of my battery, does anyone know what is going on and how to truly disable twitter? :confused:

I have snowstorm and sense weather syncing every few hours and gmail push as usual, I haven't got anything else syncing.

Disabled most of sense apps apart from gallery, dialer/people, messaging, weather and a few other things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticklefish:
I don't know for sure but I would guess you haven't disabled Twitter completely. There's got to be some app that's still running in the background. You need to root your phone and start uninstalling things.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terminator19:
Thanks for the reply :)

Everything that I can see related to twitter is disabled.

- twitter

- twitter for HTC sense

- TwitterAPIEngine

Is there anything else I should be looking for?

I have also disabled all the sense friends stream stuff.

Really don't want to root my phone just yet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
Try downloading Watchdog Lite from the Play Store. This app shows you which apps are using the most CPU cycles (and therefore consuming the most power). This could maybe allow you to identify which app this "tpd" process is associated with. (Having said that, BetterBatteryStats does usually show the app name as well as the process name, as you can see in the other entries in your screenshot, so if BBS couldn't identify it, Watchdog might not either. But the Lite version is of course free, so you may as well try it)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terminator19:
Ok thanks for the suggestion, will give that a shot and see :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terminator19:
Just got a reply from someone else there regarding this and this is what he said:

And I just checked there and this is what comes under "android system":

As well as system UI being listed there.

I will email the developer of better battery stats to see what the "tpd" process is.

On this phone? Internal memory or sd card, what folder? Just rooted yesterday and just want to make sure it was created correctly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] allendj81:
they are stored in the sdcard>clockwork mod folder>backups
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] coogrrr94:
Thanks for the reply. I couldn't find it using androzip for some reason so I opened My Files app and found it in the extsd card folder. Does this name look correct 1970-01-01.00.00.13?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] allendj81:
thats just a given file name, you could rename however you want so you can tell from different back ups you may have. I rename them using root explorer
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] PeterGuru:
It's a bug in CWM

It's a bug in clockworkmod recovery. I have it, too. As the other member said, you can simply rename it using most file explorers until such time when the bug is resolved.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] bbelos:
The date is actually wrong in stock recovery too, so it's not necessarily a bug with CWM, but it is on the TODO list to try and fix. :)

I just posted a thread on this guys, but is this cwm okay for the T mobile gs3 also? It says lte versions, but I know Tmo isn't technically an LTE version?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Ceelos09:
By "LTE" they mean US variants, so it should work with your T-Mobile GS3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lopezpm:
Ah crap, I was just looking through my backups. I have 4 and didn't think the dates would be off. Now I don't know what is what. At least I know that the smallest one has to be my original one, right? I guess I can just make one now, rename it, and delete the rest except for the original one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jcbofkc:
Just a footnote to your comment...

Not sure if this is true or not on the GS3, because I have not tried it, but on past variations of CWM on other phones, if I left a space in the name I would receive a MD5 mismatch error when trying to restore a backup.

Just a heads up...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stonew5082:
it sotres them on the internal sd card instead of external. is there any way to change that or is it just the recovery I'm using?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] douknownam:
Good question, I'm looking for the answer to this too... Or is there a way to soft link the /sdcard on the internal storage to point to the extcard? I don't like how I can't access the extcard while in recovery--or maybe I'm doing this all wrong :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shaun0207:
If you use Clockwork ROM Manager, it gives you the option in the setting of using external SD Card. Not sure of the would work for Nandroids backups
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] RTBee:
Mine is saved in /mnt/extSdCard/clockworkmod/backup.

Hi Everyone i just joined XDA after learning that Ice cream sandwich was out.

I havent been able to udpate yet so here am i asking why.

Is it because i bought my phone used? (Someone else sold it to me so i have no idea where its from)

Or because i'm S-OFF? (No idea what that is LOL i just pressed volume key while powering my phone to find those info:

VIVO PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

Hoping someone can help me out and explain what those mean and if i should wait for my OTA update or install a custom rom.

Thanks in advance! :laugh:
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You are in great shape for modding your phone. It looks like you have a XTC Clip IncS which has permanent S-OFF. The only question remains is if you have a IncS model id PG3212000 (North American) or PG3213000 (European). The model id is going to dictate how easily you can get to the HTC ICS update.
[HTC Incredible S] kidpaddle45:
After using an app called CID getter.

I've just been told on another thread that my model is the North american IncS PG3212000 and that i was not eligible for the OTA update...

So what should i do now? How can i install a custom rom instead of OTA ics since i've heard that custom roms are better especially since they get sence v4.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Follow STEPS 4-12 in this post, but instead of installing CM7, you can pick one of the custom ICS ROMs from the Development section.

step 4 says to put the cmw file in the "android" folder...i got an "Android" folder and it contains a "data" folder.

Am i supposed to create a "android" folder? or put it in android or in data????
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You are placing the cwm file in a folder on your PC where you set up the Android SDK and contains the programs adb.exe and fastboot.exe. It needs to go in that folder.

I thought i was almost done but eh seems i'm cursed! -_-'

I've put that zip file in my SD card and when i started HBOOT it just told me No Image or Wrong image found and Wrong Zipped image...

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Make sure that when you copied it to the sd card it didn't end up as PG32IMG.zip.zip!!!!
[HTC Incredible S] kidpaddle45:
Hmm it seems the problem could be from my phone...could it be that it corrupts zip files?

I've downloaded the PG32IMG file from my PC and put it into my SD when i take off the USB and put it back in it says: "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged."

I've also tried to download it from my phone and move it to my SD i still get the same problem.

When i download the file and open it,it opens just fine...so it's not the file.

Something weird is going on! -_-'
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Do you have another SD card you could try?
[HTC Incredible S] kidpaddle45:

Its installing update!

When this is done i don't think i'll update using ota...i changed my mind,i'll install Ice Cold Sandwich,is there anything else i need to do in order to install a new rom? or i simply follow the same steps (without cwm of course)?

If thats all,a big thanks i'm going to edit the title to [SOLVED]
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You should not have to reinstall ClockworkMod anymore unless you try to run an official HTC RUU. That is what wiped out CWM in the first place. Most custom ROMs can be installed from CWM and will not update a custom recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robsa:
Evening all

One of the things I really liked on my iPhone was that you could set it to just have a swipe lock on the screen unless it was left for, say, 5 minutes, at which point you had to enter a pin code. Its a real pain having to keep pattern/pin/face unlock the phone every time I put it down and pick it up. It would be much better of rme to have it lock automatically on a simple swipe after 60 seconds, then security lock after, say, 5 mins.

Is there any software which can do this?

cheers,

Robsa

Look for Delayed Lock in the play store, it's a rather handy little app (which can, amongst other things, keep your phone unlocked when connected to specific wifi networks) . The support thread for it is on XDA.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Y0da1:
Bought my GS3 on the 27th but I can't get an LTE connection on it. I'm in Waterloo and definitely covered according to their map but I haven't seen LTE once. I went to the kiosk where I bought it and the rep eventually made a phone call. The person at the other end said HSPA+ is a subset of LTE and gets equivalent speeds. I know it is not but there was no point in arguing with him any further. I was then told I would see LTE in Toronto. I was downtown Toronto this weekend and never once saw it there either. I have an LTE sim and the device is completely stock and not rooted. Under "settings" -> "about device" -> "status" I see HSPA:11. I have tried to force it into LTE by typing *#2263# in the dailer and selecting "LTE" -> "LTE all" but it just says "unknown:0" as the network type.

Virgin is a subsidiary of Bell which shares its network with Telus. Their webpage says you only need an LTE sim and any of their data plans. They don't mention the need for an LTE specific plan. Is anyone with a GS3 on Virgin (or Bell/Telus) getting LTE in southern Ontario? What does it show as the network type?

EDIT: Spent an hour on the phone with some clown at Virgin who tried to give me a host of excuses, bad area code, wrong plan, tried to get me on a contract etc. Right after I was about to quit he told me he had just learned that talk and text plans would be LTE compatible on the 5th. Not exactly the best run operation but I'm not sure any Canadian carrier qualifies as one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] NEXUS 4G:
I'm on telus and I get LTE in my covered regions... mostly... no complaints though cause with there new Sim, my hspa+ gets somewhere around 10/7 mbs
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Y0da1:
I had to fight with the service rep for another hour last night before a tech finally enabled LTE on my plan. She kept trying to tell me Virgin doesn't have LTE plans. Costs must be really low for them since they clearly don't train anyone for anything. Anyway working now. 30Mbs down, 12Mbs up.

Hey everyone, this is my first time here cause I almost spend all my time in the roms threads and stuff. Anyway, I'm gonna go straight to the point.

The thing is that I want to make a free APP for my company (which isn't any big, but it's mine) but I don't really know where to start.

The idea I have is not very complicated as far as I know, cause what I have in mind is basically a shared agenda attached to a calculator.

Let me explain: I'm a Wedding Planner, and the thing is that I have the couples busy all the time with meetings with providers and stuff, and also I have to be checking the couple's overall money for the whole period between the contract and the marriage.

So what I need to do is an agenda that can be shared with someone else (in this case, me and the couples) with appointments and stuff, and also I need it to have the capability to calculate the couple's budget. So if they spend money in something, we can put that spending in the whole budger, so they would have a clear statement between both parts about where is their money going, and how much will they have at certain point in order so they can have their right amount to spend more or less in something else.

Then I can add simple things like "contact us", Twitter, Facebook feedback and blabla, but the main function is the one I can't do.

I've tried "app builders" but they have just basic options which don't let me dig in more to modify something cause they don't give you the source code.

I'm good at modifing code, but I don't know a single thing about creating from scratch.

Can I get a hand with this?

Thanks guys.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PicomatStudios:
I think you kinda answered your own question really... unless you can find something very close to what you want, you'll have to learn how to create from scratch.

If that hasn't put you off, I'd recommend that you don't go near a phone to start with. Pick just one or two features that your app will need.

Write something standalone that provides that functionality as a Java console application.

Once you have that working, you can start to figure out how to turn it into an app. For that you can probably start with one of the examples that come with the development kit (for instance, a menu example)

CWM has nothing to do with Titanium.

Busybox has an app in the market which installs and regularly updates the underlying binary.

Hi All,

Loving my One X and finally understanding why Android works! After having applied various tweaks that I read about on the forums herr, there is just one thing that is now giving me problems...

When I'm taking a photo, as soon it snaps, the phone shuts down and I have to restart. Some facts below:

1. This does not happen always, actually I believe this usually happens when the battery is below 30-35% but works without issues after having restarted the phone.

2. No, I didn't root my phone and am using the stock Rom and yes, I already did a wipe...

3. This is not restricted to the default camera app, happened while using paper camera as well as camera zoom fx...

4. Whenever this happens, after I've restarted the phone, the snap that I took ends up creating a corrupted image file (warning icon) in the gallery. Could be an.I/o issue?

5. I don't have too many apps installed and when I do use an app/game I make sure to close it completely...

Anyone else facing this issue? Thoughts?

I love the One X so far but if app crashes means complete shut down of the entire phone most of the time, I may have to reconsider my purchase as I can't risk that happening when I'm working or such...

I have to admit that I have never been an android fan... My 2 year old Mozart started having issues after I dropped it for the zillionth time (man that device can survive some harsh usage) and though I will move back to windows phone again, getting one now didn't make sense as wp8 won't be supported by it. But the more I use the One X, I love it... I'll be going for windows phone no matter what, but am seriously considering keeping this with me if it holds true to its potential the next few weeks....

So help!!!!!!!!!

Best regards.

Have you tried using a different launcher? Just get the free apex launcher, set it as default, then see if you have the same problem. If it fixes the issue then I'm afraid a factory reset is the order of the day, this will reset sense 4 back to original, then reinstall each app one at a time (games can all go on at once, because it won't be any game causing the issue).

You could use backup pro to backup all your contents etc first.
