[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfadzz:
hello good day

is there a way to backup all my contacts even if i cant properly open my phone? im using a galaxy s i9000 with MIUI rom. i got bugged and is now stuck in the bootscreen (not bootloop) because my battery drained and it turned off automatically (refer to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30683237#post30683237 for more of the details). is there a way to backup those saved contacts just by using the computer alone? thanks for reading and may you help me :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jogibush:
Hey guy,

try to do a Nandroid Backup if you can enter CWM. These should save your contacts ;)

Otherwise you could follow these instructions:

1)

reboot into cwm

go to mount and storage

go to usb storage / your internal usb storage should shown up on your pc now

backup all data via copy and past (don't forget the hidden folders!)

2)

use ADB comands to pull your contacts (only recommended for advanced users!)

best regards and good luck

If you have synchronized your contact with Google you can get all your contact back just by signing into Gmail.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfadzz:
hello i can back it up i can still access it but to use those "ADB commands" i still dont know anything about it.. can you give me a little tutorial about it? :) and if i do a nandroid backup how can i pull out the contacts from those backed up files if i install a fresh custom rom ?

hello i didnt sync it i cant use google with it :(

thank you to your responses i hope i can still rescue my contacts thanks again :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totoeli:
rfadzz - the simplest is to use the gmail, but you can try Kies or for example I use MyPhoneExplorer on PC. It is possible to save all from your phone on PC.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfadzz:
hello i didn't sync my phone with gmail so i can't use it and i can't use kies also because my phone is rooted and using custom rom and i think i can't sync it because i'm stuck at the bootscreen but i'll try thanks

edit: @totoeli i can't use MyPhoneExplorer it also needs the USB debugging mode turned on but i didn't turn on mine before i got stuck in this bootscreen but still thank you :)

hello this is a nice backup tool i'm gonna try this and report back if it's good and worked thanks :)

edit: @spamtrash i can't use this tool it says it needs the USB debugging mode on but mine is off and i can't turn it on using recovery mode :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
you use a Nandroid Browser ( free from google play store ) to select what you want to save and re use on your new ROM )
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfadzz:
hello i'm using that nandroid browser now but the problem is i don't know where to browse to find where the contacts files are but i'm still trying. thank you very much :)

edit: i researched a bit and it should be in data.ext4.tar/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/ but there is no folder like that in my nandroid backup :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Hi there.

If i have a USB OTG, how exactly does this work?

Is it recognizable through recovery (CWM or TWRP)? I mean if for any reason i delete my sd card will i be able to flash a new rom using USB OTG?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Assuming you have the right cable, you can use USB OTG on the latest TWRP (2.2.2.0 and newer). Not sure about CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Thought you were a die-hard CWM fan, efrant?

But yes, USB OTG just mounts an external storage unit and the phone treats it like a new branch of memory.

I've yet to try it, but supposedly TWRP does have support for USBOTG in the latest, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
LOL. :D I'm still using CWM 5.5.0.2, as I don't like the newer CWM, and I don't like a touch interface on recovery (I've seen multiple "I-accidentally-touched-the-screen-and-now-insert-issue-here" threads already).. But I'm the first one to say that TWRP has more features for sure. I've tried TWRP many times, and if they could make one with a menu interface like CWM non-touch, I'd be all over it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
The only problem i found with TWRP is that when you flash themes they dont stick. Its shows that they were successfully flashed but they dont.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, you're not the first person that has had issues, although I have never flashed themes, so I can't say I've seen that personally. I also know that CWM touch has compatibility issues with certain scripts. CWM 5.5.0.2 and 5.5.0.4 have no compatibility issues at all that I've seen. (I suspectit's because they are built off the AOSP source with less mods.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Is one of the 2 a touch release?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nope. 5.5.0.4 is for toro, and 5.5.0.2 is for maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
I have tested flashing Rom and gapps using usb otg and it worked just fine. This could be very handy if someone deletes the internal sd card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
I flashed the latest one and it's not flashing ROMs correctly so I flash the old one back. The fast backing up speed is good though.

Hello

I have a Htc Sensation, with Cm9 Nightlies. My battery was empty in the morning, it shutted down in a very weird way. I (fully) charged it, and now the touchscreen isn't working. I can get in to recovery, but i can't use it because i installed 4Ex touch, but the touchscreen isn't working.

I do can still acces it from the pc, but i don't know what i can do now to fix it.

Sorry for my bad english.

[HTC Sensation] remcodd2:
No solution?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Perhaps the digitizer has gone bad. I wish I had a solution for you but this is what is strange , it's not the first time I've read of battery dieing then things not working once it's recharged. Perhaps you can order the part and replace on your own. They have some great how to videos on you tube or you can try warentee but since your rooted maybe you will have to fix it. I do wish you the best and I hope someone has a better solution. If not I would order the part and repair myself. Best wishes

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoschecter:
I received the Nexus 7 in the mail, rooted it and such. But, now when I go to the roms on this forum all I see are roms that look exactly like roms for my Galaxy Nexus including (Phone) icons? Can anyone explain this? I mean, why would anyone want a rom that's built for their phone to be ran on a Tablet? That isn't 3G and all that magical stuff. Is the Nexus 7 having an identity crisis?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atticusmas:
From what I can understand from this thread, you believe the nexus 7 has the exact same roms as the gnex? Are you in the right forum? There is a clear difference between the n7 and gnex(screen size) so if they have similar roms does it truly matter?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evoschecter:
Ok, Your response didn't Answer anything. You just asked another question. Thanks for the attempt :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zZDave_Stud:
Okay no need to be a jackass here buddy :) And what do you mean by an "identity crisis"? The nexus 7 is obviously a different a device than the GNex, and the GNex ROMs obviously not the same as the Nexus 7 ROMs by ANY MEANS. Open your eyes sir and scroll down a little bit in both the original development and development sections.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintkev251:
Let's all relax now. The screenshots used in the op of most ROMs are standard to that ROM on all devices. Its just a generic screenshot. Every ROM I have used is hybrid (or otherwise configurable)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marksmithbvs:
Hi,

I believe zZDave_Stud had replied in an appropriate manner. There is a clear differece between the ROMS of both. I suggest you to have an in-depth research on it :fingers-crossed: , or refer to a post: www(dot)forums(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/google-nexus-7-tablet-forum/186239-galaxy-nexus-owners.html - Not exactly what you are looking for :D

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsaman:
It will depend on a number of factors, including their age range and how sophisticated you want the solution to be. The app store, first off, allows you to filter out inappropriate apps. That's a good start. Check out this article for a list of apps also available in the store.

I have a 3 year old and I'm primarily concerned about her accidentally switching the tablet into Chinese or moving stuff around, so I use Zoodles. For free, it creates a parental lock with only a set of games available (same flash-based stuff you'd find on sesamestreet.com or nickjr.com). I believe it's tailored to the child's age, so different games show up for different profiles. It also locks up the app and requires a set of keystrokes to exit, which a 3-year-old isn't likely to figure out but an older child would.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robgee789:
cheers mate that sounds perfect :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashcunak:
dont forget to lock the app market with a key pass or else you could end up with sooo many apps that are paid for.. or use an application to lock down various apps.

I know people have done LEGO stands for almost every phone possible but I thought I'd just share my very simple and minimalistic stand.

It works in both portrait and landscape and has the potential to be made into a dock with the right tools (such as THIS or a POGO pin setup)

Here are all the pieces you need to duplicate my stand:

Here are the steps:

Finished product:

The extra length of the pieces extending to the back of the stand are required because in portrait mode, the phone's weight is a bit too much if shorter pieces are used instead, the extra length provides stability. The shorter white piece in the front provides a slightly higher lip to easily put the phone in portrait mode and provides the required stop in landscape.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy.

Hello everyone.

I have a tablet branded "i-modo", the model is "Alumium8".

If you google it all you can find are pages selling it, most of them in Latin America.

It's a china made tablet. It looks good, and the specs sound good too.

The model identification would be m805h6, but if you search for m805h6 on Google, you get only 6 hits and only one looks relevant, it takes you to neostra.com.cn/ but when you open Products > Tablets, there is no m805h6.

The "problem" with this tablet is that it is really slow, almost unusable sometimes. It came with Android 4.0.3.

My idea is that it might get much faster with a previous version, lets say 2.2.

But of course, there is no custom recovery and no custom ROM.

I managed to build a custom clockworkmod recovery image and flash it.

Maybe I can find a custom rom for a similar device that will work on mine.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you!

i recently installed via odin the stock jellybean release rom on my phone along with cfroot and simunlocker.

i have found the stock jellybean rom to have a few too many bugs for my liking and want to go back to stock ics.

I have downloaded the stock ics rom latest release and tried to flash it again using odin in the pda box, it all seems to go fine but then the phone only seems to reboot as far as the samsung logo then stops.

So my Gnex is stock so I can't change my gps.conf but it has been messing up recently where it is not staying up to date time wise. I'll send a text message and it will time stamp it say 12:13 but I really send it at 12:15. It automatically reorganizes my conversation list to show a wrong order.

I have it set to autoupdate to network time. I have straighttalk on att network. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I'm curious, afaik modifying gps.conf can help you getting a lock more quickly. What does it have to do with the time of your device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bukithd:
You can change/add a time server. I like using "time.just.gov"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I know, but the timeserver is used for getting quicker fixes. What makes you think the device will use the timeserver in the conf for updating device date/time?

Have searched, but haven't found any info that suggests it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bukithd:
I guess when I used it on my old incredible, it would ask the server for the exact time and update my phone based on the timezone I had selected. I feel like it is used it for longitudinal. It is basically just overriding the network based time source received from the network
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bukithd:
For anyone who was curious. By adding and NTP (network time protocol) server to your gps.conf it gives a user defined source for your phone to look at when it updates its time stamp.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Psycho-:
Dude, that's absolutely normal. The screen is basically the biggest power consumer. My screen takes usually around 60%. It all depends how you use your phone... If you let it sit around and don't use it for over a day, you'll notice your battery accounts for a smaller percentage of overall battery consumption. If you spend over 4 hours browsing the web non-stop, the phone will run out of juice in that time period, and your screen will probably show its taking up something close to 80 percent.
