[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
okay, so i cleaned some of the frames of my phone with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip. some drops mightve seeped in through the USB port or the headphone jack. now when i try to turn it on on the splash screen, the screen flickers and just dies. also the recovery menu (EXT4) touch is irresponsive.... SOMEONE HELP ME :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
pull the battery, place it back in, then plug the phone in for 30 seconds. then with the phone plugged in, turn it back on.

hopefully you didnt drench the phone with rubbing alcohol...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
i didnt, jus a few drops :x
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
now its subtly vibrating ........ on its own
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
thats weird... can you try to get into recovery again?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
nope, it would just turn on by itself to the HTC splash screen for like 15 seconds, and then jus die. then repeat.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
man i couldnt tell you whats going on... try just letting is sit for a few minutes (20 or so) with the battery out by a fan. then try again. do you have a spare battery you could try to use?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
yes i do. and will do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aznvi3tric3guy:
Put it in grain rice overnight. The alcohol should evaporate. And when you clean your amaze with any liquid I think its best and safe when its power off with battery pulled out... Same with electronics so that it could prevent short circuits.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
ok now ive been able to access bootloader menu, but once i press recovery, it goes into the HTC splash screen as usual. but then after the splash screen, it jus blacks out
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
ok, get it to the bootloader and try flashing a new recovery using hasoons toolkit.

when in the boot loader screen you will have to select "Fastboot" for the toolkit to find and flash the recovery to the device.

once the recovery flashes try to re access it
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
normally it would say FASTBOOT USB, but its not detecting it......
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
okay everything is working now THANK GOD. ziggy, thanks for everything :) the only problem now is, that i think my USB port is kinda busted, although it doesnt look like anythings wrong with it. ill disassemble it in the daytime and have a look.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
Sorry for not pming back... It was 2:30 am for me :p but that's great! What is your USB port doing?

Sent from my epic amaze 4g
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcjackjay:
after using it at work today, ive noticed i havent had ANY signal whatsoever.... im gonna try flashing the ICS radio img

Edit: also the phone would not detect the USB cables that i plugged in for either charging or storage....
[General Questions and Answers] jerrygooch:
I'm starting to watch a tutorial series on YouTube. Since xda is full of developers is there devs willing to throw in some wisdom/experiences/links/books/sample code/ whatever you think is beneficial? Long term goal is to make an android app of some kind. For now I'm learning the basics. Moral support is welcome since I'm pretty doing this on my own!
[General Questions and Answers] internalrage:
I am not a developer nor am I an expert but I have transitioned from a Java beginner to an advanced programmer in just a few months. I say "advanced" only because my college course instructor told me. However, I don't consider myself that advanced until I get a good amount of programming experience writing my own applications I feel confident enough to distribute. I have written a few personal apps including some Android ones but nothing I deem worthy enough to put on the market. Sadly, I learned more from the internet and a couple of Java books than I ever did in my college courses.

Some of the Youtube tutorials I have follwed are by mybringback and thenewboston. They both go from the most basic to more advanced levels of Java and both contain some decent tutorials on Android app development too. Although their methods are somewhat unorthodox and their commentary takes some getting used to, they do try to explain things in a way that's easy to comprehend.

As far as Java books, the only ones I bought are Learn Java in 24 Hrs sixth edition with a bonus Writing Android Apps chapter and Java Demystified and of course the book used for my advanced Java course -- strangely enough published in 2004. I suggest learning what you can online since internet information is updated much sooner and more often than physical books. As far as Android books, well, these can become outdated shortly after you purchase them. The last Android book I bought was when Gingerbread was all the rage. I suggest you don't waste your money on those books and just stick to internet tutorials.

Finally, I would steer you toward coderanch.com where you can get all of your Java questions answered by professionals and advanced users alike; there is even a forum catered to android development.

Java can be confusing and overwhelming for beginners, but don't give up because what confused you the day before will make total sense a few days later and hopefully that motivates you to further your knowledge; there will always be a need for programmers and developers.

I hope that helps and good luck on your programming journey. :)

Hi, can you backup using TWRP on the ATT One X to do a Nandroid backup to your computer?

The One X has so little space, and I don't want to be saving it on my phone.

Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
I don't think so mate, pretty sure you can only back it up to the phone.

There's nothing stopping you from copying it to the PC afterwards though and then deleting it.

Sent from my HTC One XL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PaKMaN787:
I guess you could make the backup then place it on your computer. You would need to find the nandroid at sdcard>TWRP>backups>randomcharacters>(backupname)

Never tried so I'm not sure if you can successfully restore it later but makes sense :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
What are you running (kernel + rom) at the moment?

And why do you want it removed?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newestuser:
im running everything stock,

installed just to quickly test so praised ArcMini custom rom. So i restored the backup later on because i didnt liked custom rom.

I felt that the battery drains a bit quicker now, i re-recalibrated and still feels like battery does drain faster than was before.

So i suspect its because i installed CMW.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SleepingTurtle_I:
its more likely apps that are running in the background and widgets you have on the desktop, try a different rom such as lite version of cm7 and underclock your phone,

as far as my understanding goes, cmw is just a tool for installing roms backups ect and doesn't run when you are using it much like booting into a recovery panel on a pc possibly, basically it should not effect your battery drain, though I may be wrong,

I hope this help :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newestuser:
no its not apps, because i did backup and restore and after restore battery drain started happening. If i didnt changed anything except installing CMW what else couldve cause that ? :) every app and configuration was the same...

no custom roms, i have tried and stock rom wins all the way except the extras 2.3 has, but still stock is more stable and graphicly better looking :)

so is there a way to remove ? :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SleepingTurtle_I:
you could re-flash the original kernel, via flash tool, this will get rid of CMW and set thing to how they where, if you are using a custom kernel or stock kernel with additional modules that could also be responsible for your increased battery drain, you should be able to find the stock kernel on this forum as others have asked for it, alternatively I thing there is a way to get the stock kernel from pc companion

good luck hope this help :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] newestuser:
well im already using stock kernel...

thing is i dont want to reinstall OS i just want to remove CMW :) reinstalling os means i have reinstall apps and again link to link2sd :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Installing CWM installs Chargemon, Charger and Recovery.tar to /system/bin and 'sh' to system/xbin. I'm fairly sure chargemon and charger are custom replacements to files that already existed, so i'm not sure removing them would be wise. you can remove Recovery.tar though, which is the main CWM program. Not sure if the 'sh' file in system/xbin is safe to remove either, or what it does exactly.

In Roms that run on kernels that have CWM built in, the chargemon, recovery and the 'sh' file are not present in the ROM, so they may be safe to remove.

Make sure you keep backups of those files, or just rename them at first (just add a 2 at the end of the filename should disable them) to see if it leads to any problems, before you remove them altogether.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] x10man:
sh is the shell. It's installed by default and I wouldn't recommend removing it under any circumstances

[Q] Already rooted 651.1, will clicking "System update is available" OTA mess me up?

Hey XDA, just wanted to know...

Already rooted with regaw_mod's "one click root" about a week ago.

Tonight, I unlock my phone (about 1am est. time) to see a "System update is available" in my pull-down status bar.

Now, I'm reluctant to update OTA after reading that this may be the 651.3 update, and all previous rooting methods do -not- work after updating.

Or, am I ok because I'm already rooted?

(Stock ROM/Kernel, Sense 4) only really rooted so I can use TB for now. Haven't touched anything else. Haven't even booted into HBoot to take a peek :o

Any feedback is appreciated. - zmag
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] msimindlessmsi2:
Do not accept OTA when rooted. Wait for a rooted update to be uploaded in the development section.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
He's right, never take an update. And it's already been rooted, that update is a month old.

"We're coming from a pure power source"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
never ever ever ever accept an OTA from sprint. just wait for a week or so and it will be integrated within the ROM.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FattySparks:
Just a heads up, when you're referring to update numbers, use the first 2 sets of numbers. Future updates may have the same last 2 sets of numbers, but they won't have the same first 2.

Plus, that is how 99% of us coming from other htc devices recognize which update you're talking about.

Not trying to be a douche, just trying to make it easier on you and us.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
It is already out there, and I'm running it flawlessly for several weeks now. Check out xHausx's deodexed ROM thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zmag:
Ok guys thanks for the info.

Glad I waited and didn't get trigger happy by clicliking the update.

I'll search for the rooted rom and flash it myself. Thankd again! - zmag

P.S. Can't wait till I actually see LTE service in my area (Southern NH/Northern MA) and can't wait to try some great roms/kernels for this device.

I'm coming directly from the OG Evo, (and I was only running CM7) so you can imagine my surprise to see ICS for the first time lol

---

Edit: BTW, any way to remove the "System update is available" icon & message from my pulldown status bar, until I'm ready to update? It's not major, but it's annoying to see it there all the time.

Edit 2: [SOLVED] (by searching) :)

I first went to Settings -> System updates -> HTC software update and unchecked "Notify me of system updates"

Then, I went to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Updater and simply clicked "Clear data" (not Force stop at all, didn't click Force stop before -or- after - just Clear data)

Annoying icon & message cleared from statusbar/pulldown! Dontcha love it when someone actually uses the search method? ;) - zmag

Hey guys I use simple mobile and everything was working fine until I updated the firmware to 4.0.3 with KIES

Now for some reason I can't delete the T-Mobile default APN

I can't delete, or EDIT the t-mobile APN, even tried resetting APN's to default

I tried downloading APN BACKUP AND RESTORE but it says it won't work for android 4+

It keeps switching back to t-mobile APN! Please help me!

Thank's
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcdoggie:
Someone please help me I've been looking for a solution for like 6 hours now. I can't delete this damn T-Mobile Access Point Name

When I click MENU all it shows is DISCARD, it doesn't show DELETE APN

When I edit the APN that I added for SIMPLE Mobile, I can 'DELETE APN' on that one.. I can't even edit the t-mobile one

Please help, thank's!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I dont know how to say this but you are not serious right? Make a new one :D

I was on Simple with ICS its ok to make a new one... Please tell me you did not waste 6 hours or more on this.... Not flaming just hoping

Menu > New APN
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcdoggie:
Sorry to be unclear.. I did make a new apn, but the problem is, my phone keeps switching to the T-Mobile APN randomly...

So now I have TWO apn's.. One Simple Mobile, and one T-Mobile.. I need to delete the T-Mobile one but it won't let me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I choose the Simple Mobile one and I have no problem but yes you are right it wont delete but its not a big deal. I just redid mine on Friday before switching to T-Mobile over the wknd... Fyi - I got to 2 gigs and they shut me down

So you have a new Simple apn and you choose it and then rebooted and on reboot it changes back to T-Mobile? Correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jcdoggie:
Yes. I have a T-Mobile APN on my phone just sitting there looking disabled and I can't delete it,,,

I don't think that's normal because on my Galaxy S 4G* I could delete the T-Mobile APN
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
My friend its ok if you load up CM9 it puts in extra APN's for you so its not a big deal to have it there or change it. Actually no real need to look at it after you make the change. I told you I tried to delete mine after upgrading and it did not allow me to so I just added a new one. I am not sure why just adding a new one and using that is bothering you or am I missing something?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shopealope:
When I was on stock I changed APN type to default,supl,mms and it stayed on simple mobile. I use simple mobile as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
This is exactly what I was about to recommend! You beat me to it! xD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fadumpt:
I'm not sure if you are still having this problem or not, but I understand the problem you are having and I just found a fix last night.

If you download APN Global, it will let you delete the T-Mobile APN.

I'm pretty sure this has now fixed that hateful issue!

To everyone else that didn't understand the problem:

the t-mobile apn was not editiable, not deletable, and there was no option to make Simple apn the default

randomly and at times VERY OFTEN, the apn would switch back to t-mobile which would make internet unusable and you wouldn't find out until you tried to use it. Then you would have to go through the settings and switch the apn back. This might happen 10 times in a few minutes or 10 times in an hour or two.

The sound is pretty damn good if you ask me. I have uploaded almost my entire MP3 collection to Amazon, and I use their Cloud Player app to listen to my music. It works well with the built-in volume control that provides extra volume, and ten a little bit of tweaking with the DSPManager makes it wünderbar! I love using my Nexus as my media player.

The stock earphones that comes with the phone are pretty low in terms of sound quality. If you have a good set of IEP then it won't be much of an issue. The sound quality is pretty decent enough. If you don't have a good set of IEP,go for a S4i.

Even I also listen to music atleast for 2-3 hours a day on my iPod Classic. I would prefer an iPod over the phone because of the battery thing. It drains too fast as compared to the iPod,which is quiet obvious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hedgepigdaniel:
I've just come from a galaxy S2 and the sound quality out of the headphone jack is miles better. It sounds cleaner, richer, and more balanced (Everything is clear and at a natural volume, from low bass to high treble). I've had iPod nano 3g and 4g and I think it sounds significantly better than both of those too.

The volume is a little louder than the galaxy s2, but still nowhere near as loud as both of the iPod nanos I've had. That said, I rarely find myself listening at maximum volume even on a crowded bus.

I've always used a pair of medium sized/priced seinheiser headphones.

You have nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BTslo:
Can you tweak the volume buttons so they increase the volume in more small steps? (like the iPhone for example)

Volume+

Hi,

i've ever had good experience with the paid version of Volume+ app.

Speaker Settings

+8 for Simple Volume Boost

+6 for Bass Boost

Headset Settings

+8 for Simple Volume Boost

+6 for Bass Boost

There is no way to boost the in-call volume

By the way in the Franco kernel App there is a patch to increase the volume quality.

Sound is very good compared to other phones but nowhere near as good as your galaxy s with voodoo. But you could definitely do worse (HTC One X, LG 4X)

If sound is a big concern for you, the best sounding phones are the S, SIII and the iPhone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
Does it matter what headphones people are really using? I mean, I don't think people have different headphones for different devices because one pair sounds better with the phone and another on the ipod, right? Most people have one good pair they really like and use it on everything. Being said, what I like is just a matter of one man's opinion. Take a look at any headphones on amazon, you'll see $10 pairs that have great reviews and $300 pairs that have bad reviews. It's kinda asking like "what car do you drive?", it means nothing.

If you are planning on streaming music from Pandora, than the stock headphones will do. They are not bad at all for compressed file streams at all. If you are going to be listening to music while mowing your lawn like I like to, then you will want some over the ear noise cancelling headphones with some good bass. If you are an audiophile then you're probably in a whole different category.

I know I'm not helping but I question how anyone could be... To me it's a matter of taste.
