if u need any help for the fastboot commands just ask... i will be here for more 2 hours or so
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acfa:
Okay thanks for the tip im going to try that right now. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acfa:
okay still I'm unable to use fastboot it gets stuck in waiting for device...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
ok so the problem really is your fastboot mode wich is broken in some way...

i think u should talk with a dev.

if anything that i said helped or learned you something please hit that thanks button
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Where did you get fastboot? The SDK Or from one of those things people to toss together for people to root/unlock?

After reading the thread its tough to know for sure if there is anything you can do or we can do to help. So I suggest downloading the latest Android SDK if you have not done so already. If that still don't work or you already have it what does device manager ( on windows) show when your phone is connected to the PC while in the bootloader/fastboot?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acfa:
I download fastboot and adb from the SDK and I have the most up to date one. Also when in boot loader mode the PC does not show my phone connected.

Btw, my power is broken and I don't know if that might be the problem :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
if the power button is broken, how do you enter in fastboot?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acfa:
Command prompt .. I type and reboot loader and it reboots my device into fast boot.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acfa:
It didn't work because it just gets stuck on waiting for device :/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
F**K!! u are really stuck!

so u dont have CWM, no fastboot working?

this is getting serious, really try to talk with a dev (daxmax,...)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acfa:
Yeah I know :/ I've looking around and I found that other people have had this problem too.. the thing is that fastboot thinks that the power button is being pressed all the time so it doesn't let me use the volume keys to move at all and that's why my PC doesn't recognize it. There are some fixes but I haven't tried them yet but I'm about to and to see if they work.. which hopefully the will! Anyways thanks for the help :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
what u can do is open your nexus (it's very easy!) and disconnet the power button...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acfa:
Hmmm that sounds like a good idea! I'm going to look into it thanks!

No harm in trying or try a store that might repair it.

carrier repair stores are usually good (ive never had much problem) you can also relock the bootloader and make sure theres no signs of any root

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] unknown1205:
Anyone experience their alarm clock not going off? i've had it occured a few times in the past and just had thought i slept thru it or turned it off unknowingly. very unlikely because i set many alarms, starting at 8:00, 8:05, 8:10, all the way to 8:30. yesterday i woke up by myself without the alarm at 8:29 and was wondering what happened to my alarm? so i stared at my phone for 2 to 3 minutes and sure enough, the 8:30 alarm did not ring. i didnt do anything about it hoping that it was just gonna work the next day like how it always did. but today, i didnt wake up until 9:30 and was late to work. thats 2 days in a row that my alarm clock did not go off. i never had this problem with any other phone.

i did some searches and found some stuff but it doesnt apply to me such as clock and atk.

i have ATK installed but clock is on the ignore list AND autokill is set to off so thats not the issue.

some people say the wifi is dropping so the clock is not being updated, well that cant be the case because i turned on my phone yesterday at 8:29, turn the screen back off and watched the phone and the alarm still did not go off.

currently running meanrom but i dont think the rom has anything to do with it since the alarm does work most of the time. i think this is a bigger issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gerchevski:
I've had it happen once, and it really freaked me out. I've used my phone as the only alarm for years.

I've also had a weird issue about half a dozen times where the clock automatically changed my time and time zone. I'm pretty solidly in Atlanta so no good reason for this.

Completely stock setup. Just waiting to see if it happens again...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
Yes I have experienced this. Goodies 1.73

Luckily, I haven't suffered from it.

I keep an old fashioned alarm clock with the bells and hammers on my night stand for a power outage or whatever. You never know !

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cons_fy:
I did a search here, and most issues ive read similar to this is because the battery is old, and can be recalibrated.

however, i noticed mine shuts down and turns off at around 13-15% and its just a week old.

anyone else having the same problem? or is this a problem at all?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 18t:
There was another person on here, his was shutting down at 25% but he was rooted and unsure if the issue lie with the rom.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cons_fy:
I did saw a battery calibration tool here but it needs to be rooted and need to reflash rom,

don't really want to reflash rom,

although battery does last about 7-9 hrs of active usage before it goes to 15% then it dies after that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hafai:
My unit does something similar,at when it hits about 7%. It shuts down and won't boot or do a hard reset, as if the battery is dead. I'm already going through with an RMA however for the screen. When the replacement arrives (any day now) I'm going to see if that one does it too.

Hopefully a software update will be ale to fix this.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cons_fy:
Thanks

Anyone else having the same issue? want to know if i'll ask for a replacement, or just stick with it.

Im actually overseas, and sending it back will be expensive.

Mine does this too at around 11-12%. Was watching a video, got the low battery warning at 11%, then it just turned off. I'm already RMAing it for ghosting and screen separation - think mine was assembled at 4:59pm on a Friday.

I respectfully disagree. I am happy to see this thread (I think my comments in the WIP CM10 are what prompted it) and I fully support it. People need to have a place to learn to develop and build ROMs from source, and this is a step to help provide that place without clogging up other more focused dev threads. I don't think anyone is trying to use the thread to get attention, other than to get others involved, talking, debugging and building.

I recommend to try the following.

1) Type "make clobber" this will clear you build directory just in case any files are corrupt.

2) Type "repo sync -j4" doesn't hurt to check for new commits before building again.

3) Start to build

Let me know if this helped.

Roger:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bdusmc:
I usually do this in a new terminal session:

. build/envsetup.sh

make clean

repo sync

lunch

make -j4 otapackage

What is the difference between clean and clobber?

Also, how is it possible that a build can be done in 20 mins? Is it a number of threads thing? Is there any way to speed up my builds? They take forever, it seems (> an hour or two, and then they fail).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BMP7777:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BMP7777:
Learned something new today. Linux distros will not properly install without the ability to make two partitions. If you have four partitions on your system, the install can't make the second one it requires. Us windows guys got a lot to learn I guess. Make sure when allocating space for a side by side install, you only have two partitions in use. I had an HP TOOLS partition from a bios update, so I had to get rid of it. As long as you don't touch your system partition and only have two you should be good to go. Installing Luninux 12 now. I like it because it looks and runs a lot like OSX, which i have experience with too. Sorry of everyone else already knows this, just thought I'd share. Now, to get the environment set up!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rmarquez1974:
This is because you need to setup a 5th partition as extended. There can be only 4 primary partitions but you can more extended partitions. Its a DOS thing I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roger_n:
clean and clobber - I think both do the same thing remove all built files (prepare for a new build). I may be mistaken but clobber always works for me.

The following is what I use to build in the pass "make -j4 otapackage" has returned errors for me. Try my way and let me know if it works.

. build/envsetup.sh
vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
lunch cm_skyrocket-eng
make clobber
brunch cm_skyrocket-eng

I never built a ROM in 20 minutes usually 1-1.5 hours for me. The number of thread thing you ask about I add a thread for each CPU on my system I have a dual-core w/hyper-threading so I always use -j4.

Example: if I run "make whatever" only one instance will be running, if I "make whatever -j4" it will run 4 instances so it speeds things up the make command completes faster.

Roger:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mindmajick:
Correct. You can make a large number of partitions if done correctly. I currently have six on my laptop.

1 recovery partition. 1 windows partition. 1 backup/ documents partition. 1 linux partition (opensuse). 1 home partition. 1 swap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bdusmc:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roger_n:
Don't worry about "ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libGL.so': File exists" all it's saying is the file exist so a symbolic link is not needed.

As for the "android" command follow the step below.

Download the SDK here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Extract the SDK and place it in your home directory.

I renamed my SDK to android-sdk to make it easier to navigate to.

Go to your home folder, press Ctrl+H to show hidden files, and open up your .bashrc file.

Add these lines at the bottom of the file and save.

#Android tools export

PATH=${PATH}:~/andrd-sdk/tools

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools

export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

Once that is done type "source .bashrc" make sure you're in your home directory.

Finally type "android" in a few seconds the Android SDK Manager box should pop-up check the boxes "Tools" and "Android 4.1 (API 16)" and click install.

I hope this helps.

Roger:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Decepticaons:
So I open bashrc with text editor, scroll to the bottom, click enter to go to the next line, past that text, save. Then i type source .bashrc right in the home folder, or in terminal? i typed it in terminal after trying it in the directory, and it went to the next line, but when I type in android command I get "command not found" again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roger_n:
look at your .bashrc does it have the following? I just notice I have a typo. In your .bashrc make sure android is spelled correctly.

#Android tools export

PATH=${PATH}:~/andrd-sdk/tools <<<< TYPO

export PATH=${PATH}:~/android-sdk/platform-tools

export PATH=${PATH}:~/bin

If you don't install the Android SDK you won't have the command "android" make sure it's install correctly follow the steps in my last post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Decepticaons:
I got it, I had to enter this in the .bashrc

#AndroidDev PATH

export PATH=$PATH:/home/teraspes/android-sdk-linux_x86

export PATH=$PATH:/home/teraspes/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools

export PATH=$PATH:/home/teraspes/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools

now i am installing 66 files from Android SDK Manager
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roger_n:
YES! progress.

TIP: When "~" is in front of any directory in this case /android-sdk-linux_x86 the "~" automatically look in your home dir, it's a bash builtin . When you have chance and want to learn more about bash type "man bash" at a prompt.
