[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewie-droid:
Now i'm getting some weird message about:"there was an error while trying to download the data. Please try again later"

This is famous pixelrom 1.72 fully touched. I love this rom
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngshredder:
Hmm, I've experienced this on Stock 2.3.6 ROM, the download still showing but stopped, It's annoying but, I'd try factory reset & after it completed I'm turning on the phone without sim card (to ensure there is no internet connection) & renaming the "otacerts" file. So download will not be showing & not started
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewie-droid:
So weird. Even the data message went away now. Many thanks guys. I'm keeping this rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngshredder:
no problem guys, glad to help ;)

I tried and removed ICS and JB. Went back to GB, it's faster less bloated and does the job for me. GB kept downloading ICS automatically and giving me nag messages to install it.

I found the following thread, which fixed the problem.

The trick is to install FOTAKill immediately after you install another rom, before the phone connects to the network.

To install it, I used the "adb push" method from cwm recovery.
[HTC One X] Versa23:
Hi All,

This is my second post in ths forum.

I got my HOX couple days ago, and notice a problem with the phone.

Push email is not working consistently, and the time it takes for email to get pushed to my phone ranges from 5seconds to more than 1 hour.

Are you facing the same problem? Here is a quick test to check.

-Setup Push for your email account (using Microsoft Exchange),

-Set Push for both on peak and off peak times ( do not use smart sync)

-Make sure auto-sync is turned on

- send your self an email. Then observe if the email comes in instantly. (within 3minutes is acceptable).

Sometimes it works right after you put your phone to sleep. But try putting your phone to sleep for about 15minutes then send your self another email to see if the push setting is working?

I have been spending quite a fair bit of time looking around and trying different things, but sadly, I have not found a solution yet. Coming from an Iphone, my Iphone gets pushed 100% of the time within 5 seconds of receiving the email.

I resort to flashing to a custom ROM to see if this problem goes away, but again, no luck.

This issue has been reported in the AT&T ONE X forum, but I have not seen much mentioning in the internation version forum. However i have seen people saying they have issue on the internation version as well.

Just a quick note to let you guys know my setup

- I have setup both my emails (gmail and work email) as Microsoft Exchange Account with "Push" enabled for both on peak and off peak times.

- Automatic Sync is Turned ON

- SmartSync is NOT used here.

This phone is amazing, and I did not regret selling off my brand new S3 for this. However, being the flagship phone for HTC issues like this is just unacceptable. This issue needs to be fixed before I can drop my iphone and move over entirely.

Please let me know if you have similar issue, and I believe as a team we can solve this issue much faster than required for a single person to do!

Thanks to all for reading such a long winded post.

Any input will be appreciated.

PS: I am currently looking for a sense-less rom and try to see if this issue persist. If you are currently running any sense-less ROM which you think is very stable and suitable for day to day use, please let me know.

Thanks!!!!!
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
its a sense issue, all cm and aosp roms with google email app have it working and syncing lperfectly. im hoping the new 2.15 base solves this, as i love sense
[HTC One X] Versa23:
Thx for the feedback

Thanks for confirming this issue. Like you, I think sense is great. But very disappointed with this issue as I am constantly missing emails.

Can you recommend a stable cm or aosp rom for daily use?

I have been looking around but they are all still within early developement stages and I can't afford to have the phone die on me while I am on the go.

Also when u say 2.15 base is that JB?
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
nope, just a 404test release base that is better than the current 2.05 test release our 404 roms are based on

as for aosp, cm10 preview 11 is more than capable for everyday use, but u can always stick with cm9, and icecoldjelly is a pretty awesome rom too
[HTC One X] Versa23:
Confused over stock base

Hi, Thanks again for the prompt reply.

I am a little confused. How will I know if the stock has a new base as you have mentioned? Are there any custom rom that might be using the new base already?

Sorry for all this question as I am very new to android, and I really wanna move onto the HOX.

I have tried revolution and ViperX rom. Both still has this issue. I will try Cm10Preview11 tonight. But really hope that HTC can sort this mess up as i am big fan of sense apart from this problem. Have been using sense since HTC Touch! (4 years ago!)
[HTC One X] KLUVJ:
android revolution hd will be releasing their 7.3.0 rom using the new base today in a few hours, so i suggest u get on that. since it is a test release, stock users wont be getting it. many other ron devs have got thr test release source code from footbal, but arhd is probably going to be the fastest to release it.

Click thanks if I helped
[HTC One X] Versa23:
Thanks

Amazing! Thanks for the advice. I will try revolution out when i get back. Really hope they fix this issue....

I will keep this post up and see if any one has any feedback on this! Also if you ever found a fix for this, please do let me know. Appreciate your help. (i clicked thanks on your post already!, but thanks again!)

Not compatible with N7

Currently Amazon USA says this:

Note:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
I suspect they are referring to the Asus Transformer because they use a non standard voltage. I use an Anker Astro3 10,000mA pack and it charges the N7 just fine.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Beards:
Agreed.... I too have the Anker Astro3 10000 and it works great.

Solidly built and has three separate charging points AND a switch to change one of the charging points to either 9v or 12v. This makes this charger also suitable for anyone with a ASUS Transformer TF101/201/300/700.

I use it to charge all my phones and tablets.

I have received a Cager B030 from Dealextreme to charge my Nexus 7. However, the Nexus 7 does not charge on neither ports of the device (1 A , 2.1 A)

Been using that for a few months. Plan on using it on flight to Australia in a couple weeks. Should be good for 2+ charges. I got that one during a promotion that included a free 5000 mah. Should be enough to charge my nexus once, vita and 3ds both a couple times. Plenty of entertainment for 20 hours in the air.

Do one of these file explorers show file copy progress in a window, including remaining time?

ES File explorer does a very basic one and is only in notification window, it's not that good. Root Explorer shows nothing, just a "Paste in progress".

[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
What we seem to be getting at in this thread is avoiding the hassle of doing this. If the new firmware in the ICS update is later, then we should have luck in just upgrading it directly.

Or something of that sort.

Just curious as to what you guys use and what fits. I'm currently using an aluminum bumper but I'm growing ever annoyed with it.

That's the one I'm using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Absolutely nothing. I just like to protect my phones and I had a diztronic case previous to my extended battery I'd like something similar, but can't seem to find any. Given the design of extended batteries, they need to be a bumper just like my aluminum one pictured above...in order to fit properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jim Dead:
I can't tell which one you are using but it appears similar to the SZLF Bumper case I have (installs the same way). Why do you find it annoying?

I find it annoying because when you press on the battery cover to reinstall (the battery cover) sometimes the front frame pops out - I find the front wire frame a bit flimsy.

I want to get this one:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
I posted a pic in the first post. Basically, it doesn't provide good grip like a tpu case would. It fits OK, but the 2 piece setup rattles a bit sometimes and it attracts dirt.

I also don't think the one you posted would work. It goes around the SPen opening, which can't be done with the extended battery I have.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suomalainen:
Hi Everyone,

I'm working on a prototype with a few guys and gals and we are using the Nexus S. In this project we need to open text documents on our smartphones.

One of the team members has the very strong opinion that the text documents must all be converted into jpegs. The reasoning for this is because all smartphones nowadays have cameras and the necessary software to open pics. In turn, this will enable and allow for a positive customer interaction. Your ready to go straight out the gate!

As for myself, I'm of the opposite opinion. I believe using the jpeg file format is not the best thing to do. I think it would be better to use PDF or.doc formats as a few examples. I also don't believe it's a big deal for the customer to download from the Market the required software to view such documents if they are of interest to you. I also believe that Android libraries contain the information You need to open PDF from server side and present it in browser? This is true isn't it?

Putting text documents onto jpegs seems too strange for me. Especially since each document will need to be converted to a correct font size and font type, so that it appears readable on the device. To me, this is a senseless way of burning up valuable time and human resources for no reason or true value. But I was told You have to do this if you don't want the customer to scroll from right to left when opening and viewing the document.

So what says You people? I would really appreciate the feedback you have to offer in this situation.

Thank you very much for your time today.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayjay3333:
JPEG is probably faster and smaller but PDF is fine also. Honestly wouldn't matter much unless the documents are crucial for the app.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suomalainen:
I can't imagine anyone wanting to scroll a text doc from left to right just to be able to read it if using jpeg!

PDF on the other hand wraps text on the screen as you enlarge. No scrolling out of screen. This makes much more sense to me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prax31:
Hi

Last night my defy(green lens) battery drained completely and turned off. After I plugged in charger for ten minutes the big battery symbol indicated 18% battery level then I turned on my defy....wow the status bar now showing 54% charge.....how could it charge more than 30%in less than 1 minute.

Then I rebooted and wiped battery stats but still its no use. Its showing charge increasing from 55%..

I think that this ROM cm10 by Quarx not getting full charge....I mean how could that happen 0-55 in less than 15 minutes..??? This is like a sports bike/car.

Is there any battery fix for this issue???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Hi,

I have discovered that building a boot.img with a standard Image (instead of zImage) works out of the box. Booting time is (apparently, I didn't notice) a little slower since copying the full image to RAM is slower than decompressing the gzipped original.

Reference: http://free-electrons.com/blog/uncompressed-linux-kernel-on-arm/

Next task is modifying the kernel boot code to directly access the kernel rather than copying it to RAM, or something similar. I was thinking (rather, wishing) that using uncompressed Image would automagically give us a few extra MB of RAM capacity since it doesn't need to allocate any memory for both the compressed image and uncompressed Image.

Though I'm stuck on trying to find the code in the arm kernel (boot process) that I can play with. I've been reading this as a reference - ARM Linux Boot Sequence

Any help/ideas? Cheers!

P.S. I run an Xperia Play that is 512MB but only 362MB available in userspace, hence why I'm so determined to experiment with this. Getting an extra few MB would really help :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MemoryController:
To be executed the kernel must reside in RAM. Uncompressed or compressed the final size is the same as it will end up uncompressed in RAM.

Sent from my GT-I9100 running CM10
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Yes but the zImage must be copied to RAM, then the zImage is decompressed to another RAM block. The ARM boot sequence says nothing about deleting/freeing the original zImage copied to RAM once decompressed. That's my main question, where do I check in code for this kernel decompression process.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MemoryController:
Of course it gets deleted

Sent from my GT-I9100 running CM10
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
How do you know that? It's not always the case. And why must it only be executed from RAM? How can I find how much dynamic RAM the kernel allocates using a compressed vs uncompressed image? Is it possible to use XIP and DRIP in Android like other ARM Linux?

Nevermind, I've found everything I need right here - http://elinux.org/Kernel_Size_Tuning_Guide

EDIT and here - http://www.simtec.co.uk/products/SWLINUX/files/booting_article.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MemoryController:
Well xip/drip would require nor flash and I don't think any phone has nor flash. Good thinking though

Sent from my GT-I9100 running CM10
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Yeah after reading more about it it's probably a dead end lol.... but I'm keen to squeeze out a tiny bit more RAM and will explore other options in compiling the kernel. The Xperia Play only has 344MB available to the user :eek: disabling 720p recording pushes that up to 362MB but I'm looking for more things to try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MemoryController:
Have you considered compcache? It won't actually increase RAM size but it will give you some ultra fast swap

Sent from my GT-I9100 running CM10
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Yeah I've got a ZRAM script in there using 10%, considering the Xperia Play can do 1.5GHz stable I have considered experimenting with higher percentages and swappiness values and doing benchmarks/real use tests. But that takes a lot of time, I'll fine tune that another time.

EDIT: I wonder if it's possible to use 100% zram with swappiness at 100.... lol....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MemoryController:
Lol I don't think so, you must leave enough ram for the kernel at least so that it can actually handle the page faults :)

Sent from my GT-I9100 running CM10
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CosmicDan:
Haha. Well ive also been reading about new size optimizations in linaro toolchain too so im going to try building with that too, maybe hack-out some more things like bluetooth headsets and reduce pmem allocations. Gonna experiment with a lot of stuff.
