Can someone please help me? I have all of my backed up info on Google Drive from TB. I moved that info from Google to my phone and have tried to batch restore, but it keeps showing 0 files. Please help as I have a lot of apps and data backed up and I don't care to start over. I purchased the TB Pro app for just such an occasion and now I can't use it.
[HTC One X] buu1152:
Did you solve your problem?
[HTC One X] SmoothTrickle:
No. I never received a response so I just gave up and started over.
[HTC One X] olafdv:
This works indeed.

I selected a batch operation for backing up apps and system data. Downloaded it via the TB Webserver and thought I was okay.

Tried restoring by uploading it to my Nexus via TB Webserver anddd it's gone. Not in the Titanium Backup app, nor to be found on the Nexus with a file browser.

Uploaded the zip manually using an usb cable to the emualted sd andddd no,option in Titanium Backup to say "its here!".

Downloaded an unzip thingie in the Play Store, unzipped the shizzle and let the files in the zip -one level down- being unpacked in the TitaniumBackup folder.

Restarted TB and yay, it can see again. Batch restored everything and... it works. Kinda. Stuck on Swiftkey as we speak. But this is the best I could come up with.

Sigh.
[HTC One X] rohitshakti:
1. Is there any method to update the apk files stored in the zip file with newer version ?

2. How can we delete /update the backup apks with newer version?
[HTC One X] CustomROM Noobie:
There may be a better way to do this, but somewhere in Preference you can tell it how many backups to keep. I think the default is "All". Set it to 1 and that should do the trick.

Hello all

Today i was going to take a new photo but when i open the camera app i look that the camera is without focus

I have attached one pic.... tried to use another camera softwares ( camera 360), Tried to put macro on manual and automatic but still the same. :crying:

Someone know what this can be ? Im using Wanamlite ROM and im pretty sure this is not the problem.

hahahaha yes :s
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perissatto:
so... i found a way to fix ( not sure if this was the reason for blur images ) I have updated the driver from camera and restarted my phone :s

now... its working okay again!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolpoppa:
Cool :)

It's worth checking the settings and which focus mode it's set to should it happen again...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaq:
Hey guys, after a hour of searching which led to nothing, I decided to ask here...

I want to downgrade from ICS 4.0.3 Gen.Y Vision X ROM to GB Virtuous Glite (Or any gb rom). My Hboot is the Desire Z: 0.84.2000, it says I have: Vision PVT ENG S-OFF.

Does know how I can do this... I would be very thankful.... Regards...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggpilo:
A priori a full wipe and you choose your rom version in the recovery mode !
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prairie-dad:
The above is correct, if a little brief. As long as you have S-OFF (which you say you do) you can indeed just use your recovery app (I have enjoyed 4EXT, and paid for it) to do a full wipe and then flash the ROM you want, too. I have done the same more than once...from EliteMod ICS and Mimicry 1.4.0 and Flinny's JB ROMs back to various GB-based ROMs...I am using EliteMod CM7 now and very happy with it, too.

Good luck, and there is lots of help here if you need further.

p-d
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
awesome praire-dad! you've come a long way and your now giving great help!

only caveat to mention is some gingerbread roms do not support ext4 (only ext3) so you may need to change partitions as you are comming from an ics rom I can only assume you are in ext4. the only other advice I would mention is to either reformat all partitions via 4ext recovery, superwipe, or fastboot -w.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaq:
Haha this is much easier than downgrading the sensation... Thanks guys!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prairie-dad:
You're right of course, what I meant was 4EXT as a product for recovery, as opposed to ClockworkMod, and not ext4 the Linux file system, but I didn't make that clear. Do you know, off hand, which common cm7 (or other GB ROMs) _don't_ support ext4 the file system? I know EliteMod does, CM7.2 "official," but have no idea about all the rest...the MIUIs and g-lites and ILWT etc., etc.

My problem is that I can turn on the wifi but it doesn't find any network.

I had the same problem with icecoldsandwich but it was fixed using wifix manger,I tried wifix manger in JB roms but it is not installing.

By the way I think it is regional issue

Any ideas how to fix it?
[HTC Incredible S] acme anvil:
There is a setting where the wifi will disconnect on a weak signal. Be sure that is turned off and see if that helps.
[HTC Incredible S] suliman lbabidi:
I've tried it but didn't work,the phone doesn't find any network and I am sitting next to the router so I don't think it is signal problem
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
I know this is a silly answer, but have you made sure your back cover is on properly?

Even better, take it off, carefully clean the contacts then put it on making sure it seats properly.
[HTC Incredible S] suliman lbabidi:
I don't think it's hardware issue, because Wi-Fi is working on other roms.

Another thing when I remove the sim card the Wi-Fi works on the jb Roms.

[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
It must be something to do with your sim/provider. I have been using WiFi since I installed this rom and the previous version. No problems at all.

I've just installed a few roms before this but Android Revolution HD 7.0.0 is givin'g me a lot of trouble.

First i've followed the instructions:

Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card

Download "Super Wipe" script & place it on your SD card (optionally if coming from earlier version of my ROM, obligatory if coming from stock or other custom ROM)

Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol up + home + power)

In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of "Super Wipe" script

UNTIL HERE! I've have the zip rom on INTERNAL and EXTERNAL sd but can't install any of them.

Anyone can help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Do the following:

1. Obtain root, see item 1 in my signature and flash the latest CF-Root

2. Make a CWM backup after the phone rebooted

3. Download ARHD 7.0.0 and place it on the external sd card, copy importants folders/files from the internal sdcard to the external sd card.

4. In CWM: do a data/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache, in mounts and storage format system, cache and data.

5. Flash ARHD and choose full wipe and backup efs in Aroma, install the rom and tweaks you want and install.

6. Reboot and you`re done :)
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Tired of all the my battery is great, my battery life is low, etc, but no information about usage? Someone says, "I'm getting poor battery life", but you find out their screen was on for 4 hours and "poor" was just their opinion. Well, I came across this app in the app store called Battery Compare. It keeps records of usage along with battery life and uploads it to be compared to others. Right now, the app seems new. You have to manually activate it and upload the daily record and the user base is small right now so comparisons aren't as meaningful. But, it seems cool.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happeningsoft.battery

And no, I'm not the author (which is why I posted in general and not apps so if it's in the wrong place then mod please move). Just thought it would help people compare battery life of their phones across different ROMs and compare theirs to others which seems to be a pastime here on XDA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Citymusic08:
So I've been trying to figure this out for about a month now, but seemingly, no matter what ROM I'm on, I don't get the battery life that others have been getting. These are the ROMS I've tried ever since I've been having issues:

Gingerbread:

Blend

Calk 2.92

Unofficial ICS

ICS:

Re-Calked

Rubix Xcel

tFH13

Blu Kuban (current)

The best battery life I've ever gotten on my phone was on Blend 2.6 with Desperado Kernel and I forget which modem. I got 2 days (mostly standby) but with usage I'd get many hours of screen on time. However even when I try and go back to that setup and let it settle, I can't replicate that battery life for some reason. Now, no matter what ROM I'm on I get about 12-16 hrs with mostly standby and 8-10 with usage. The lower end of the range is with my original battery. The higher is with a fresh new one. I also use the Placebo's (for ICS) Originally dietpill but now placebo 2.0. To monitor what's going on I use BetterBatteryStats, GSAM Battery Monitor and CPU Spy. Whether my phone is getting deep sleep or idling at 200 mhz the battery drain is the absolute same. Whether wifi is on or off it's the same. I may add screenies later but what I typically see in each app:

CPU Spy:

Mostly 200 mhz or Deep Sleep but again the drain is the same

GSam:

Kernel 40-90%

BetterBattery:

The longest bars are

Other:

(If wifi on)

Wifi On, Wifi running (both blue)

No data Connection or Unknown signal (both blue and stretching across the screen)

Kernel Wakelock:

wlan_Wake

(if wifi not on) power manager or alarm

Partial Wakelock:

Audio Out_1

Alarm Manager

Process:

(If Gingerbread)

System

Event

(If ICS)

All the kworker's

My brightness is always low, accounts and sync is off and for good measure each app is set to sync manually or the highest interval they can (4 hrs or never), roaming is set to sprint only, I calibrate the battery after bump charging to 100 quite a few times, signed out of gtalk and lattitude, weather widget is set to sync manually, Motion is off, haptic feedback is off, screen timeout is 30 seconds, but I still get bad battery life. I' e tried undervolting -50, setting screen off profiles, using smartassv2 and lazy governors, and underclocking to 800 but the battery life is still bad and then there is a performance decrease. Please help! Idk what else to do to get that fantastic battery life others have been getting. :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] g4me0v3r:
I was getting the worst battery for the longest time. I ended up bringing my phone to Sprint and they looked at the battery and placed it on a flat surface and spun it, it spun for a while and they declared the battery bad. They ordered me a replacement battery and meow I'm getting fantastic battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Citymusic08:
See that's what I thought? But then I ordered a new one and while my battery life is better, it's still "bad" compared to how it's supposed to be
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
What is your screen on time?

All that "2 days battery", and a "day" is not good for the health of your battery.. To get that time, that means you are constantly draining your battery to low levels and that's not good..

I recently started using DX Battery Saver, part of Team Venum's cRaCk_StOcK FH23 ROM, and it's a god send.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
Exactly. Is it really THAT inconvenient to plug a USB cable in from time to time? I had an OG iPhone and I had to charge that piece of crap constantly. It wouldn't even make it 8 hours in my pocket at work. Is 14 - 20 hours that horrible?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
Aokp battery life... No suck here at all.

Wait though, so you guys are saying it is bad to fully discharge your battery before charging again?? Argh I hear so much different stuff all the time I don't know what is true or false. I thought charging it too often was bad? I always take mine down to 1-3 percent before charging it and I get pretty amazing battery life no matter what rom I'm on. So am I hurting my battery then?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
I work at a battery shop. Granted its mostly car batteries, but deep cycling any battery is hard on it. Personally I avoid going below 10 percent if I can help it. That being said, I wouldn't throw it on the charger until around 50 percent. Every battery has a limited number of cycles. So unnecessary charging will reduce battery life as well.

Constantly reversing current flow is almost as bad as draining it completely. Fast charging is also bad news. The slower you can charge any battery, the better. So steer clear of any chargers or apps that promise shorter charging times. They will just generate more heat. And as we all know a hot battery is a bad battery. I actually mount my car dock right next to my vents so I can keep it cooler as it charges. I use an OEM Motorola charger because it controls the voltage. My old moto back flip wouldn't work with a generic charger that didn't have this voltage control. Now I won't use anything that doesn't have it. Got it on amazon for 6 bucks.

Yes I know a lithium ion battery is not the same as a car battery, however all batteries work on the same premise, just different chemical makeups. I've seen batteries explode, catch fire, and boil themselves dry. A swollen battery is extremely dangerous even at these low currents and voltages. Any swelling OR becoming concave means get yourself a new battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GodspeedFx:
Question for ya Phoenix ;)

I'm constantly looking for good battery life, and I really have no complaints (kuban w/ stock governor, although trying wheatly based on a couple recent posts I read in kuban dev so we'll see what happens). I do charge every night, naturally, and with ~2 hours screen on (lots of texts, browsing/games, an hour of music, ~30 minutes talk time), I'm usually ~30% (unplug at 9am, plug in at 9pm).

Here is the question:

Just now, I was at about 25% battery life.. I changed my governor from hyper to wheatly, and then rebooted.. when it came back on, I immediately got the low battery warning and it showed I was at 5% battery. What would cause that? It's done this before, but usually I'll just lose 5-10% on reboot..

Just to clarify, I'm a pretty heavy user on my days off.. 4g, hotspot, and 10+ GB a month.. I've only discharged below 15% maybe 7 times since I got the phone about 6 months ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] numba1stunna201:
I've my had my battery percentage drop by as much as 35% on a reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
Battery can drop significantly on a reboot. It does not necessarily indicate a problem. I've lost 40% before on a reboot. However the length of life was still roughly the same. In fact I actually saw battery percentage rise 2 - 5 points an hour for 4 hours before. Getting the exact state of charge for a specific battery at a specific point in time requires a little guess work. The amount of guessing is reduced when there is a constant in the equation (remaining on for a while). Rebooting takes all the consistent data the computer has and throws it out the window. You can't accurately tell the state of charge by voltage alone, but that is the only data Android has to work with. So it has to compensate as best it can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Disagree. CM9 Beta 1 works fine. It is on ICS. Battery life for me is a factor of how long the screen is on. With screen off, I get close to 90% deep sleep and get AWESOME battery. With the screen on, I'll get 3-4 hours. Screen on/off consumption is NOT a ROM issue. Super AMOLED screens use a large amount of battery to light white (or light pixels) at full brightness. but use VERY LITTLE battery to light dark/black pixels.

Fact is that if you REDUCE what your phone does (syncs, notifications, lights, etc) it will consume LESS battery regardless of GB or ICS. If you think the ROM matters, install CM9 on your phone, turn off sync, and let it sit with the screen OFF. See how long that battery lasts. Its not the Android OS on 'good' ROMs.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Bumping this because that is exactly right. The battery percent is a 'estimation' of the battery based on volts. Its an ESTIMATION. If you want that % to look higher, then plug your phone in and THEN reboot. You'll magically have more battery. LOL. ;)

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Non-issue. Its just a measure of voltage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
To continue the car battery comparison:

A fully charged car battery will read 12.6V. A reading of 12.3V will equate to roughly a 60% state of charge. In order to get a more accurate reading we use a hydrometer to pull the acid on each individual cell. If the battery just came off a charger it could read over 13V. However if one of the six cells is bad it will reduce the total voltage of the battery by 1.5V. This will come close to that 12V reading. By checking the individual cells I can determine the battery is in fact bad. But merely checking the voltage, one might think it is just discharged. This is the limitation Android cannot overcome. Now if you think of the phone battery as only around 3v (I forget the exact spec) divide the above numbers by 4. That .3V difference at 60% just became .075V. As you can see, it won't take much to get an inaccurate reading.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Disregard everything you have heard before and here are the facts. It is BAD to let your battery fully drain. It is BETTER to always charge it. The 'let it drain and then fully charge it' was good for NICAD batteries to combat 'memory effect'. It is NOT good for ION batteries which do not really suffer from 'memory effect'. With ION batteries, the more you use it, the more you lose it.

EDIT:

OMG shoot me!!! I'm actually going to quote an APPLE LINK?????? :P It is actually right on and I thought it was a good 'explanation' of 'charge cycles for the post.

http://www.apple.com/batteries/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GodspeedFx:
+thanks RP! Now that you mention it, I HAVE seen my battery percentage go up (off charge) a couple times in the past.. I figured that was the answer. I was just shocked at the AMOUNT of inaccuracy of the percentage.

Also, for some reason my touch sounds (the click) don't work anymore. Turning it on or off in system sound settings has no effect.. I remember seeing people talking about issues with rogue click sounds, but I haven't had that issue.. I just don't get them at all.

It's not a big deal.. it's more like one of those things that bothers me just because it doesn't work, haha..
