Well, a little research :

Avoid fully discharging a lithium-ion battery! Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries' life is shortened every time you fully discharge them. Instead, charge them when the battery meter shows one bar left. Lithium-ion batteries, like most rechargeable batteries, have a set number of charges in them.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisc323:
you should avoid letter a li-ion battery get below the 20% area as this damages the cells in the battery li-ion have no memory effect unlike ni-cad even ni-mh battery had no memory effect but they did need a big first charge

@Deftone and @ androidnerd2

our battery is lithium polymer not lithium ion.

so we can charge it anytime we want its life is not compromised.

and ya its true we should not use it till the end of its charge.

but our mobile takes care of it. it shuts down phone saving some charge in battery which is always needed otherwise battery wont even charge if voltage drops down to large extent..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theorw:
Lithium batteries in general are better to be discharged as much as possible before charging.There are several rules for optimal charging like turning device off or not topping off the Ion based ones but in general dont charge them unless you know you ll need it and dont be afraid to let them dry before charging them again.There is no memory effect on Lithium batteries but there is a Life cycle that you can extend with less frequent charging.

Here is a great site to check everything about batteries.

[HTC Desire C] pockrunk:
Hey all...I can see myself getting into this Android scene pretty fast. My HTC Desire C is my first Android and it has been great, but I feel the need to mod it and root. At least...

So...I'm following this root guide for HTC Desire C. But before I can root I need to unlock the bootloader through htcdev..

On the site, they don't have the Desire C listed so I go to "All other supported devices" in the drop down.

I have followed the steps multiple times and keep getting stuck on step 8. When I enter "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" into the command line it will hang on <Waiting for device> and does nothing. No block of text comes.

If it makes a difference I have fastboot enabled and usb debugging enabled...but aren't those only relevant when the phone is booted? Not sure...

None of the one click programs have worked for me, theyre mostly for older phones if Im correct. But they do identify my phone as HTC Desire C or HTC Golf. But still don't work.

I hope this is the right forum. I couldn't find a Rooting forum here for this phone, hope to see one soon!

Its a great economy class phone with that Android potential.

Any members have experience with getting the bootloader unlocked wanna help? :highfive:

Thanks for reading and if you have to move this post sorry Mods but I couldn't find the right section.

[HTC Desire C] sigulda1:
I have tried several times, until it finally worked. It happend to me, that pressing the powerbutton while you get this message worked for me.

I am stuck later, as I tried different CWM, but in every case the phone reboots while doing an nandroid backup... - So my phone is rooted (it is my third android device). I can use CWM, but I can't do a backup within CWM.

Edit: Got my issue solved by formating data in CWM.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tunagoblin:
Hi. I have rooted EL29 right now and ICS OTA download notification is up on my phone.

I'm guessing I can't just OTA as is.

What is the best way to update? Unroot it to stock EL29 then get OTA then root it afterwards?

I haven't looked at this site since EL29 release so I'm kind of behind about new stuff and forgetting lots of what to do and NOT to do....

I just want well functioned device. I have no intention to try out new ROM or anything.

The reason I rooted was to use tether. That is the only reason.

So what is the best way to go for me?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
If you rooted and did nothing but tether you can take the OTA, if you removed system files etc it will fail.

You lose root taking the OTA, No root exploit available. Rooted FF18 is achieved the same way you can get to it from el29 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721229

No Data is the same effect as the OTA. There are problems with not wiping the phone. Swype data for example needs to be deleted for swype to work. This is one of many things that OTA users needed to do to make their life work normal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] idleivey:
Well I'm no expert but I flashed my phone back and forth between ICS and GB more times in the past week then I want to think about. I went from EL29 rooted stock to the ICS OTA without problems. If you want to flash to a custom ICS I would suggest using Odin to go back to EL29 rooted and then flash from there. For what I read the risk of bricking occurs when performing a factory reset on ICS OTA.

So I'm on CM9 now and here is what I did.

1) one click Odin to EL29 rooted stock.

2) D/L most recent CM9 build and gapps

3) Flash through CWM

4) Enjoy!

i find the search to be great when it works but quite often it picks up the wrong words. i am from birmingham england so my accent is rather different to the american accent it was probably designed to work with.

does it adapt to accents?

if i wanted to play the transformers movie on my device, is there a command i could give for it to do this or am i expecting too much of it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantechBurstOwner:
Well the voice search is simply a search on google, it will also search google maps youtube and other google services for your results, I dont think siri could play a movie, the name is too confusing for that piece of garbage. As for your accent im sure thats the problem. Try to pronounce everything clearly and dont leave out letters like some british people do in words like car, my friend says caaaa lol but im not sure if it adapts to your accent. Edit: I'm just now looking at the settings and all you have to do is press english and it will give you the dialect menu, you know what to pick :P

For some reason my phone says sd card not mounted so i put sd card on another phone and it says the same thing does this mean i lost everything on my sd card or can this be fixed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiplashh:
Do you have a micro sd card adapter for your computer? (A chip like thing or usb like this that you can put your sd card into so that your computer can read it.) If so, put it into the computer and if it doesn't read it you may have to format it. What all is on there that you want kept? Maybe I can help save a few things, because formatting requires deleting everything.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vdude8:
If you're having issues mounting on multiple devices, you probably have a dead card.

Have you noticed any oddities for your SD storage in the past? (Perhaps missing or corrupt files, or maybe even your phone freezing once in a while when accessing files on the SD card)

As Whiplashh said, try the card using an external USB adapter with your computer. If it doesn't work there either, you probably have a dead card. Even if it does work there, I would highly recommend transferring everything off of it, and recreating the file system. I had a similar problem with my microSD card in the past, and I was only able to resurrect it twice before it completely died...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrButtonz:
Weeks ago, I have installed CM9 RC2 on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, but the problem came around only about 5 days ago, so I am not sure whether it is CM9's fault. But anyway, each time I try to "Accept and Download" something on the Play Store, there would always be this Pop Up: Error Processing Purchase [DF-BPA-13]. After searching around on the web and in this forum, many have said to Unsync and Resync Gmail. I did. It didn't work. I have Wiped and Restored my phone with Titanium backup, Cleared data and cache for Play Store, Cleared Google Services Framework, rebooted numerous times, cleared dalvic, removed and resigned in my Gmail acc, checked whether SuperUser access has accidentally denied it, and "Fixed Permissions" with ROM manager. It still doesn't work, and I am at a complete loss of what to do, and would really appreciate it if you can help. Thank You! :fingers-crossed:

Hi everybody.

For my work I need to have more istances of the same app (one of this is Instagram) because I use more than one account. So I try to duplicte Instagram apk. To do this I know that I must change apk package name, so I take the apk, decompiled with APKtool, than edited AndroidManifest with new Package Name, edited all the file under /res and /smali following the new name, and change the folder structure unerd /smali to the new packlage name.

After that I build new APK, signed it and try to install, but, when i open the new app it show me an error.

Anybody here can help me?

Try to logcat your error?

Maybe it's better to use multiple titanium backups...
[Android] jack1852:
There's a way to automate the loading of different backups, for example using a shortcut?
[Android] mDroidd:
ehm maybe it could be the DataProfiles option of TB, but I'm not sure and never tested...

You could also make a script that automates packaging (for new backup) of the data folder, switching and extract/replacing.

check the database

you also need to debug the database if application is using any database

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android.Pete:
Hi

I have CM7 on my Desire with the S2E app to move applications/data to a 1gb ext4 partition.

This has worked fine for months but there has always been an issue with some some apps (Gmail, Facebook) hanging and giving a FC - which is probably down to the (slow) class 4 SD card I have.

So, is it possible to manually move Gmail/Facebook apps back to the internal memory while keeping S2E installed?

If not, what are my alternatives for moving only select apps/data to the ext4 partition?

If I uninstall the S2E app, what happens to all the apps installed on ext4? Or simply, what is the best way to remove S2E?

Any help/advice is much appreciated!

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
With S2E its basically all or nothing. I'm using a class4 card as well and have no issues with Facebook or Gmail force closing on me. It really depend on what you move to the SD-EXT. I had S2E move everything except Application Data and Dalvik Cache.

The rule here is, the more system related stuff you move to the sd ext, the more information it needs to pull out from the sd card. If your sd card speed is not up to the task, thats where you get reboots or FC's.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
Have you tried fix_permissions from terminal or recovery? That sometimes helps with FC issues.

Ran this earlier from terminal and it seems to have fixed the issue.

You might create a folder on the original /data partition, move all app-relevant files and create symlinks on /sd-ext/data - the opposite of what Link2SD is doing...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akoutsakas:
a2sd / link2sd s2e

hi i am using cm9 on my desire and i am wondering witch script/app is working best for increasing internal memory.

i was using a script a year ago (can't remember the name) but all my apps were freezing for a 2-3 seconds. i now installed link2sd with no issues but i can't understand what;s the diff with others, maybe s2e witch support CM is better? any help suggestion?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhl80:
S2E and a2sd are mounting single folders from /sd-ext/ on top of the corresponfing /data/ folders, e.g. /sd-ext/app/ on /data/app/, i.e. the files go to the SD card instead of to the internal memory. Its called "bind mount".

Link2SD uses symbolic links instead of mounting folders, i.e. you can select which app/data/dalvik-cache goes to the SD card.

Both (bind mount and symbolic links) are cheap operations, once you open a file (read or write) one additonal step (the redirection) is needed. I don't understand why int2sd should be faster (something like "writes directly to the card"!?)...

One reason for read performance issues might be the missing "noatime,nodiratime" mount options - without them, each read operation on files and directions results in a write operation for updating the access time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hans moleman:
S2E is the easiest to install and use. You don't need to flash a separate script just install the app from the market and it is ready to go. If you have a working solution for a2sd already however I would leave it as is unless you are having problems.
