[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] suprastar932jzgte:
Okay so I rooted my HTC Vivid, S-Off, etc and it's been fine for 2 weeks. I'v elet it die all the way before and never gave me any trouble turning back on. I let it die lastnight, and i forgot to plug it in while at work today so when I got home it was dead, as I expected. I plugged it in while i took my dog out and when I came back, it won't do anything. I didn't pay attention before to see if the charge light came on (i was in a hurry). the charge light now comes on a for a couple seconds and then goes off, and CWM recovery screen comes up. I held the power button down and then the HTC screen came up and hasn't gone beyond that. It's plugged in and I don;t see the charge light at all. What could have happened? Please help me
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
I would pull the batt then plug it in and see if the charge icon comes on if so let it set about ten min then turn it on
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] suprastar932jzgte:
I just tried, nothing happens
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
I did mean pull it and put it back and try . If that is what you did then I would wait for one of the more experienced users to reply I'm sure its something easy .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
Try a new battery. I have seen a lot of posts from people who let the battery die and it was never able to charge again. That is not normal behavior for a battery, it is defective. Several people have gotten new batteries by taking them in for warranty service. If you don't feel you can do that, Amazon has many batteries that work fine.

Until I get a spare battery, I will not let mine go to zero. I plug it in before it gets below 2%.

Press and hold the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons simultaneously. This will reboot your device into recovery mode. What recovery do you see?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thienthancongtu:

nope as if it never got installed with the rom itself

vol+ menu + power didnt see nothing... hmmm this is so weird everything else works fine with root access :(???

Hello all. I recieved a Droid 2 from a friend of mine, to find out that the power button does not work, whenever I put the battery in it immediatlly goes to M screen, and that when I boot into bootloader from UP arrow, there is only a black screen instead of bootloader info. Does anyone else have this issue?
[Droid 2 General] MissionImprobable:
Have you tried powering up holding X to get into stock recovery? You can do a reset from there.
[Droid 2 General] Leraeniesh:
I have tried that multiple times to wipe data and cache, with no other luck.

Should also note that I am on. 621, so the only way I could root is to get into the bootloader mode for RSD Lite.

[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
can rsd lite see phone?

that's really all that matters

that and charged battery
[Droid 2 General] Leraeniesh:
RSD Lite can see the phone when it is powered on and ADB is enabled.

It will ask me to go into flash mode, I hit OK, the phone reboots to the black screen mode, and about a minute later reboots back into normal mode and RSD Lite tells me that it could not boot into flash mode.
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
pull battery, replace battery

press and hold the up button on keyboard, connect to charger

phone should boot to bootloader mode

http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/Welcome
[Droid 2 General] Leraeniesh:
Same results if I dont have the battery and just hold UP and connect to charger

UPDATE: After about 5th time trying, the bootloader info showed for about half a second, then the phone powered off.
[Droid 2 General] MissionImprobable:
Seems you need to get the battery charged.
[Droid 2 General] Leraeniesh:
Alright I was able to get into bootloader and root .621

Now for a noob question, I installed RomManager and installed CWM from there, but when I hit Reboot into CWM, it just reboots like normal. Is there any other way to get into CWM?
[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
you need droid 2 bootstrap

then update cwm with rom manager

select droid x 2 int

see proper use of bootstrap

and updating cwm

[Droid 2 General] sd_shadow:
is battery charged?

pull battery, wait a few seconds, replace, connect to charger

does charging screen start? if yes try wipe cache, if not

pull battery, wait a few seconds, press up button or both volume buttons, replace battery, continue to press up or both volume buttons, press power if it did not start to boot yet

does it boot to bootloader? if yes and battery screen did not work, I would flash sbf, if phone didn't go to bootloader

you need may need to replace battery or maybe lcd is bad
[Droid 2 General] douglasrac:
Thank you for the attention and for the guide.

My problem was that I installed Android 2.3.6 version Personal, that cannot be downgraded and in theory cannot be rooted. But I managed to root it and now I'm using Android 4.1.2 on my Milestone 2, which is CyanogenMod 10.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
I accidentally repartitioned my SD card when trying to reboot into system. Basically, I accidentally pressed repartition and when I was trying to go back, CWM thought I was clicking continue, and I ended up accidentally doing a repartition.

It asked for two options, I select the first one for both. After I realized my mistake, I went back to repartition and selected the largest numbers for options 1 and 2. Granted, I had no idea what I was doing.

So can anyone tell me the default SD card partition so I don't accidentally **** everything up?

EDIT: I clicked advanced, partition, 4096M for ext size and 256M for swap size. What's the default?

Ok, so... I really want to have my Tab run a shell command every time it boots. On my Nook Tablet I did this through a file called boot_complete_hook.sh placed in /data, does that work here too?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottx .:
Try script manager. (Smanager) on the play store. Works very good for just what you need it for. You could make a shell script and then use that to execute it. Good luck!

My Dad recently got a GS3 and has managed to delete the icon for recent calls/call history that was on the far left side of the dock on the home screen. I've figured out that you can simply drag items on and off but I can't find that icon anywhere. I'm an HTC guy so I'm really lost here and would appreciate your help.

[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Ok, so I was really excited when Google discussed at I/O the ability to save map data for certain areas to be able to access it with our Nexus7's without a data connection. Obviously on a tablet with no 3G/4G/LTE/etc. connectivity, this is a requirement to be able to use it as a GPS device.

When I got mine, I saved my entire home region. It seems to cap out around 85MB in size, so you can't just save the entire country, which is fine. I also noticed that the amount of space required seems to be tied to the size of the map you make, and has nothing to do with the amount of streets, cities, etc. (aka data) for that location (ie: New York City takes up the same amount of space as Nowheresville, MT). This was a little confusing, but OK.

Anyway, here is my issue. The other day, I took my Nexus7 for a road trip, and tried to use the Navigation app. It was able to show me where I was in real time, and give somewhat-detailed street information which was nice. However, it doesn't actually know how to GET anywhere. In other words, if you try to give it a destination, it fails, requiring Internet access. I tried addresses, cities, business names (who are actually on the map) as well as just clicking somewhere and asking it to provide a route. Nothing.

So I ask this: what good is offline map storage if you can't actually DO anything with it?

Don't get me wrong, I understand that this is a new feature and might not be fully developed. But based on the Google I/O presentation, they made it out to be much more functional than it is. Something along the lines of "Going to a different city? Just preload your Nexus7 with the map for the area and you're good to go!". Sure, if all you want is a static map and want to try and figure out directions yourself, I guess that will work. But it certainly doesn't provide anywhere near the functionality required for an offline GPS device.

Unless of course I'm missing something - but I doubt it.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
I agree and I don't think you're missing something. For the size of the data it downloads for a given area, I believe it has all the address so I why can't one do a search of somewhere?
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
Might have something to do with apple taking aim at local search functions with their lawsuits? Finding that information would probably require accessing the function in question.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
Possibly, but I doubt it. AFAIK, the "local search" issue was with Samsung allowing users to run a search query which would also perform the search on local apps, files, etc. It had nothing to do with map searching, which would fall under a completely different scope. And the app supports it, but just seems to require Internet to make it work.

Also, while Samsung seemingly took it out of one/some of their devices with an OTA update, they later said this was an accident, and have pushed a fix out to put it back.
[Nexus 7 General] jabsys:
I given up with Offline Maps, really it just the same as having a paper map that only covers a limited area, instead I've been using NavFree, does navigation, address search, points of interest all without a data connection.
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
The Apple/Samsung lawsuit is 100% unrelated to offline search in maps. Google it, do some reading, and you'll see what I mean. I have GPS Copilot installed for any offline needs I may have.
[Nexus 7 General] Shano56:
Yeah dude google maps offline is a joke. You'll need to

1) start your destination somewhere you are connected to wifi

2) wait for google maps offline to not suck so bad

3) use a different app
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
Or just root your phone and tether...that's what I've been doing for years.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
That doesn't solve the problem, it's simply a work around.

Sure, if you have wifi or tethering you can get online and get live maps/route data. But that doesn't negate the fact that Google Maps Offline is seriously flawed. It should work without needing to be online, otherwise what's the point of saving offline map data in the first place.
[Nexus 7 General] omnikai:
It's much better than not having the map at all. If you have a GPS (like the Nexus 7 does), you still see yourself on the map where you are. The only thing missing is the blue line to your destination. It's limited, sure, but it's a lot better than not having a map at all to see your GPS location on.

+1 for NavFree though. If you need navigation (like in cities you aren't familiar with), this is a lifesaver, even if it eats battery rapidly and is very slow (at least on my Galaxy S).

I'm sure Google can/will release offline navigation in time (possibly along with entire country map downloads), but probably not until Apple pushes them to by releasing their own offline navigation.
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
I used the offline maps with directions when i started out on a data connection and then immediately turned it off. I started the n7 navigation with it tethered to my phone, once navigation has established its route, I disconnect my data and the directions continue to work.

This worked for me. It may not work for you, I do apologize if I waste your time.
[Nexus 7 General] secretasianman:
I use offline maps quite a bit.

Navigation is usually useless for most of the back country roads I'm on. Having a map and GPS showing me where I am in relation to where I need to be (pre-set waypoints) is awesome and is better than nothing.

Another app I use often is Maverick with pre-cached satellite maps. I'd dump Maverick if Google Maps had offline satellite and topo maps.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Thank you for showing me this app! That's perfect, and just what I'm looking for. Looks like it will work amazingly!
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
I wish apps could use the cached data from Maps, but so far each app I've tried appears to download it and cache it directly. No idea if it's even possible to to, but it'd be nice if all apps could access the cache and use it.

As for the OP, this has been discussed since Maps first released.... It does not have the engine or routing data to do offline navigation. Maybe it will in the future, but it does not today.
[Nexus 7 General] sashusmom:
try Co-pilot GPS from the market. It's free, and it downloads maps and stores them on the phone. If you have any svox classic voices purchased you will get the more advanced street names as part of the turn by turn verbal directions. I haven't tried this version yet, but it looks great and for free you have nothing to lose.
[Nexus 7 General] Shano56:
Tether to what? I already pay $70 a month for internet at home I am sure as hell not gonna pay for more data
[Nexus 7 General] DrHenley:
IMO, for a FREE navigation app, I think you get a little more than you paid for...

The Turn-by-Turn directions require a data connection initially. But once it has downloaded the directions, you can use it offline and still get the voice directions - I tested it out on Saturday. You want to leave it connected a few minutes so it can cache all the map tiles along the route. If you don't let it finish caching the route, there will be places where you can see the route and get voice nagivation, but the streets won't show up.

If you deviate from the route, however, you will lose any navigation until you get back on the suggested route. You can see your route on the map, but there won't be any streets showing up at your location - even if you have chached the entire area in maps. If you zoom out you can see the suggested route. The voice nagivation will try to get you to turn around and go back since it can't recalculate the route. It needs more than just a map to calculate the route. It doesn't read a map the way you or I would to get directions...:silly:

I had maps and navigation running at the same time, and when I left the suggested route I switched over to maps (leaving navigation running in the background) and could see the streets I was on. A bit crude but it worked...

Once in range of the suggested route, the voice navigation will pick back up again and continue from there, and the streets will show up again.
[Nexus 7 General] copota:
I really hope Google eventually allows client side navigation, instead of server side requiring a data plan or wifi.

I've used Google Navigation on my tablet by calculating a route prior to disconnect from wifi, and their Navigation is hands down the best available for Android.

I've tried other Navigation apps, and they're super slow compared to Google, especially when it comes to re-routing or telling when you turned. Google almost re-routes you instantly when you go off route, other apps sometimes take a full minute before they set another route. Plus, Goole's street naming is fantastic for audible directions.

Offline maps is something, but off line route planning will be the ultimate offering.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
I don't see how this could be too difficult to enable. Sure, maybe there are patent issues to work out (possible, but unlikely). But this functionality is already present in cheap GPS devices. The maps themselves take up a lot of space (a couple gigs on average for the entire US on a dedicated GPS unit), but if we download an 85MB region map, all the streets/addresses should already be built in. So it comes down to getting the routing engine to work offline. I'm not sure how big or complex this is, but IMHO it should be a simple addition.

And yes, it's "free" so we are getting what we pay for, but still.

As I mentioned earlier, my biggest disappointment was that Google made it out to be a fully comprehensive update to Google Maps, when it really isn't.
[Nexus 7 General] copota:
I would love to know Google's reasoning behind server side routing only. I've searched around, but can't find a definitive answer. I always figured they stay clear from allowing off-line routing because you'll lose out on real-time traffic condition, weather, accident updates, etc.

Hello all,

I am facing problems with my SIII right now. I was running AOKP but due to the bluetooth not being able to sync with my stereo, I decided to go back to stock rooted. I just flashed back the stock rooted image using Odin, but now my phone sits at the Samsung screen with the blue notification light on. I have tried rebooting, and it gets to this point (after the rethink possible screen) and just sits. I am thinking another flash in Odin is in order? Is there a stock, non root image I can flash via odin? I am just really lost for ideas right now and any input would be appreciated! Thanks!

Update:

I tried flashing with odin again and this time I got a failed. It was in the process of flashing the "system". I am kinda starting to freak out. I am hoping that it's just the file I'm using (though it just worked not even a few days ago.) I am trying again and if this one bombs out, I think I am going to try a different file. The one I am downloading to try next is the "stock unroot" from the how-to video. Anyone have any luck with this?

Another Update:

I just re-flashed with odin, this time it says it successfully completed but once again it's stuck at the flashing Samsung logo with the indicator led on.... I am starting to really freak out lol. I have another file downloading that is supposedly just stock, no root or anything...

Correction : Used that link you had posted, it was still stuck so I loaded up the toolkit and used option 20 for reboot options to force it into default recovery, wiped data & cache from there and let it reboot, it seemed to have hung but waited a few minutes and it came back to life. Back to complete stock here now, hope it works for you.

Should have explained a bit better. Yes that toolkit

While it was stuck at samsung screen.

1 For AT&T (Obviously)

20 For reboot options

1 For recovery.

Then wipe data/cache

Then wiped cache (no idea why)

then rebooted.
