I wish that i knew more about ADB, and the SDK...

I did manage to establish a working development environment last spring, but the system I use is only a 32 bit environment.

The time since my setup has been so long ago now, that I have forgotten the particulars of the build. But I did learn a great deal from the guides posted here:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/all-in-one-guide-to-adb/

Forgive my limited reply, as I desire to help you, but its quite clear that your knowledge of the android SDK exceeds that of mine.

And if you dont mind, I wish ask a question of you.

As you have used the 32 bit SDK successfully in the past, is it possible to copy and transfer all of the files needed to produce a working environment by simply loading said files from one PC to another ??

Or is the environment an individual set of parameters that must be created for use on each machine ??

I have never been successful in my search for an answer to that question.

Im sorry that its such an off topic request, but I truly wish to learn more in my old age....tbank you...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mundusvultdecipi:
Thanks for the quick response, yea i gathered that much with the path , just dont know which field to put it in under environment variables or the proper format.. my question is how to properly set environment variables for the sdk to install.. Or just even a workaround for getting ADB up on windows 7.. Had no issues whatsoever on XP..:confused: I Extracted the java.exe to the path the sdk software is looking, and still no luck (i like having ADB to push apks, root or recoveries n such when not looking to ODIN etc) I've tried several different tutorials and can't seem to get past the install of the sdk verifying i have the java se installed. ..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mundusvultdecipi:
My apologies if i sounded sassy in my response, i didn't mean to offend and am very thankful for all that u contribute here on xda and ur response. As for your question, i believe IMO due to the heavy reliance on drivers for the SDK to run for "X" device(s) development is being implemented on, it would more than likely need to be created specific to each machine during the install of each runtime ..but would imagine certain elements could be transferred or copied across. . But again just my guess, for i have not tried. I am new to win 7 and a NEWB to XDA. .. You sir are the mentor in this happenstance. Thanks again for the link and advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnrippa:
Make sure you installed 64bit java. I had the same problem and it turned out I kept installing the 32bit java. Their downloads can be very confusing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Right click on "computer" on the start menu or in Windows explorer. Then go to properties.

On the left you will see an option that says "advanced system settings"click on that.

In the new window there will be 5 tabs up top, go to the "advanced" tab which is in the middle.

Once there, at the bottom is a button that says "environmental variables"

Click on that and there will be a new window broken into 2 sections: user variables, and system variables.

Go down to system variables till you see one named "path" select it and choose edit.

Now, you should have the java jre installed.

I have a 64 bit environment with 32 bit java,.That's fine.

The path that is installed to, and what you want to enter into your variable is:

;C\program files (x86)\java\jre7\bin

Close that out.

Now open a command prompt and simply type java, if you get a long list of details that tell you the commands you can use, congratulations java is now in your path.

If it says "java is an unknown command" you have messed up somewhere.

Ok, now that you have adb installed, go to the platform-tools folder.

Copy:

Aapt.exe

Adb.exe

Adbwinapi.dll

Adbwinusbapi.dll

And paste those into your main Windows folder.

Now, you can enter adb command from any directory, you do not have to cd to the platform-tools folder first.

Excellent ....

Many thanks !!.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mundusvultdecipi:
Thank you very much sir for the indepth instructions. . Between your directions and gregsarg's link i was able to get adb up by using the 32bit ver download instead of the 64bit even though my machine is 64bit... Guess there is at least a little functional backwards compatibility left in win 7 afterall. ..:confused::thumbup::thumbup::D

Recently flashed the LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5-MR2 ROM and it's fantastic!! So fantastic, that I want to backup my Liquid Settings.

I keep receiving the following error after performing the steps listed:

"We encountered a problem, restore not created" and at the bottom of the progress it says "$#!+ we couldn't save to /mnt/sdcard/LiquidSettings/"

System Settings >> Backup & reset >> Liquid Backup/Restore >> Backup Liquid Settings >> What would you like to do? Select 'Backup' >> Click 'Save' and leave the default path

I've tried the last step with the path not yet created on my SD card, with it created, with it created with a Backup and/or Themes directories created, and also leaving it with the default path and by selecting the above combos. My sdcard is definitely mounted and accessible and reboots haven't helped, either.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'd love to have these settings backed up.

I was just about to post a thread like this.

After seeing the preview videos of the Note 2, I was thoroughly impressed by the screen recording, and printed text translating functions present in the software.

Is there any possibility of porting these features across, or have either of them been announced for the S3?

[Motorola Droid 4] Brandon314159:
Hey all,

I've been experimenting with the rear 4-pin connector on the back of the droid 4 (pogo-pins for the inductive charging rear door)

Connected a current limited power supply to Gnd and Vin on the back of my Droid 4 (pin lower right = gnd, pin lower left = Vin) at 5.0V and I had charging occurring at a nice speedy rate. Screen showed charging, amperage was around 1500mA to start scaling down to 1300mA-1100mA as it reached full charge. It seems to pass through the Lithium Ion battery management circuity so appears to be a safe way to dump in lots of power. Obviously these pins are designed to pick up power from the rear inductive charging cover that Motorola produced, but I wanted to try just pure 5.0V power. It appears that it is not bypassing or defeating the battery temp/overcharging safety circuit but of course test at your own will in a safe environment. I personally noted that if the battery was 'warm' the charge rate was reduced to avoid overtemp. Also it would scale down as the on-screen-indicator showed it was reaching full charge.

I’m thinking of grabbing some extra rear covers and making up some drop-in charging stations or alternative inputs (like solar/etc.)

Nice to get away from having to charge on the USB Micro connector which appears to limit charging current and cause wear-and-tear.

This seems like a VERY good thing if someone was building an external battery pack that fit onto the phone (like the one for the iPhone)…you could power it on, charge via this connector, and shut it down whenever you liked. The power draw on the phone drops off massively once it is charged so if you started with a full charge, it could float the battery all the way to empty.

Time to experiment! My first build will likely be a drop-in docking station.

Again, for reference:

Bottom right (when viewing back, camera at the top):

Gnd is Lower Right – Nearest the microUSB connector

Vin is Lower Left – Opposite side from Gnd on the bottom row

Don’t hit it with too much voltage! I limited myself to about 4.8V and 1700mA max. I'd expect over-voltage on these pins could damage the battery management circuity and fry the phone. I was using a good regulated supply with meters.

Cheers,
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
This is awesome, thanks for this! Might have to play with a cover and done batteries at some point... Please let us all know how your experiments go!
[Motorola Droid 4] The Old One:
I like the idea of an expanded battery very useful.

I have a small solar cell + battery to charge my phone by USB already.
[Motorola Droid 4] ztehee1:
That is bad ass. Post some pics of your first prototype
[Motorola Droid 4] olegfusion:
Great news, thanks for your time, man.
[Motorola Droid 4] The Old One:
Just wondering but do you know what the other 2 pins are for?

I got one with a broken usb port for parts and am now wondering if I could use this to build a fix.
[Motorola Droid 4] Quick7135:
Most any (not all) Li-ion battery is rated for at least a 1C charge rate. So with a 1785 mAh Li-ion battery you should be able to safely charge at 1785 mA. The trade off is the faster you charge it the more you reduce overall battery life. For example (not real numbers) if the expected life of the battery is 500 charges (a charge is the amount of current to charge the battery from it's nominal voltage to fully charged and has no correlation to how many times you plug it into a charger) then charging it at 0.75C might increase it's life significantly to 750 to 1000 charges.

Note: the stock wall wart is speced at 850 mA at 5.1 V output (very odd that voltage...).

More likely it's the power supply. Most all PC usb ports put out 500 mA at 5.0 V. Most (USB) wall warts are rated at 1000 mA at 5.0 V.

What has me worried is that the phone appears to overcharge the battery to something like 4.317 V or even 4.351 V... I'm hoping this is just an error in the phone/app voltage reporting, but then again it could just be the way they get that 1785 mAh capacity from the battery. Overcharging the battery in this way could well be safe and would have the effect of increasing it's capacity, but it will significantly reduce it's life as well. You would not expect a Li-ion battery to be charged over 4.2 V and preferably something like 4.17 V

Can you use those pins to directly measure the battery voltage? I was going to measure mine directly to compare with Battery Monitor Widget reporting but decided I didn't want to remove the sticker from the back of the battery and I couldn't get a reading from the push pin contacts.
[Motorola Droid 4] Brandon314159:
- You cannot use those pins to measure battery voltage as they are an input to the charger... IE they do not tie directly to the battery. You would have to watch the battery voltage at the screws for the battery flex-cable mount.

- There are lots of notes about the battery voltage being 'high' by peoples viewpoints. If you search around, someone explains the difference in chemistry that the Droid 4 is using and that it does have a higher Vmax during bulk/absorption charge levels. I believe the summary was that it is a non-issue. They aren't trying to 'cheat' the battery into higher voltage for more cap...it's just simply how that chemistry wants to be charged. You'll have to google around to find it.

I am curious to see what sort of 'external' packs I can come up with and likely would limit my charging rate to 1200mA or so just to keep things 'happy'. I got slapped pretty hard over at droidforums by an admin and my post removed for this same info...glad to see the community here is more accepting of my discoveries. :cyclops:

-Also, the other two pins are data lines...not sure if In/out compatible but one is Batt Temp and the other is Communication (for determining battery type). The phone doesn't like having these pins futzed with (can cause reboots/lockups) so there is clearly something on the other end...but sounds like the protection is weak regarding input into the processor/etc.

Once I have my phone near a camera, I will photo my connection method/mods (no direct soldering in-case I have to warranty the phone for other issues). That gave me 6" pigtails of wire that I have hiding behind my cheap-o case right now waiting for proper connections (I exited through the speaker hole on the stock back cover).
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:

It was pretty uncool, all things considered.

Oh well, happier here already!
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
you know what u should add is a resistor and a on/off toggle for safety
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Very excited to see those photos. I can't imagine your post getting removed for that sort of information, that is a shame... Hardware mods are just as much fun as software mods, imho! Plus, they have the added bonus that there is a slight risk of explosion, something I err, enjoy :D
[Motorola Droid 4] Quick7135:
Drat. I really didn't want to peal off the sticker... heh, maybe I could just punch through it with the needle probes and only leave 2 tiny holes :).

I have done a lot of googling and failed. I'm skeptical that I can't find any "new Li-ion chemistry". The only thing I did find was a pointer to an Anandtech article where the writer said he "heard" they were using a "new Li-ion chemistry" ... with no references or cites. In any event I agree it is mostly a non-issue for most everyone else. I figure they have it all designed for some target duty cycle -- probably about 1 year? maybe 2? Thing is, I plan to keep my phone for 4 or more years like all my past smart phones. The difference this time is that the battery is non-removeable (yes, I know it can be done with tools and some risk). I was hoping to find an app that would interface with the battery management and allow a configurable threshold for the "fully charged" cutoff. With a charging cutoff at about 90% I should be able to triple the life of my battery.

sigh... sorry for the hijack (but there isn't much on the actually battery operation, even around here).
[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
drain the phone and charge it up in charging mode with the stock charger. this will calibrate your battery so it will charge to 100%
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
He wants to make it so it ONLY takes charges to 90%, to extend the duty cycle of the battery. Honestly, I would just not worry about it, and replace the battery as necessary.
[Motorola Droid 4] Brandon314159:
I put my reply over on this thread that you created, which seems to be more on-topic:

[Motorola Droid 4] Quick7135:
You're probably right but I'm not clear on the risks of damage to the hardware when prying out the non-replaceable battery.

Thanks. and I do apologize (again) for the interruption here. It won't happen again.
[Motorola Droid 4] Brandon314159:
I'd think you'd be at higher risk of damage playing with the software/firmware interface that controls battery charging than doing an actual battery swap.

It appears to be pretty easy: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Droid-4-Teardown/7759/1

No worries on cross posting...just figured better to keep it all over there where there is already a few replies on-topic.

My USB port broke... would you think this would charge a completely dead battery.. thank you kindly for your time...

update this will charge a completely dead battery... took an OEM charger cut it open used the red and black... worked perfectly...

why do they call it common sense when only a few people have it...
[Motorola Droid 4] niel89:
Just wanted to pop in and say that these pins and this thread were a savior. My USB port broke completely off at the soldering And I Wanted To Wipe My Device before I send it in to insurance. Completely dead battery, I took an extra usb cable and stripped it down to the red power and black ground cables. Bottom left pin is for the Red power cable and black power cable on the bottom right pin. I used the stock Motorola usb power. I wedged the bare wires to the outside of the pins and made sure they didn't touch at all. Plugged it in and it Thankfully charged.

I just wanted to post something up in case someone else is scouring the Internet for information.
[Motorola Droid 4] Adamyno:
Unfortunately I broke the micro USB port.

I connected the USB charger's cables to this backside pins, and it was charged for about an hour. But now, it isn't works. I don't know what happens, I hope, not broke the charging electronics :/

I bought microUSB ports, soldering devices and accesories. It will take some time while I get the package, but I'm going to write what happens. I trust at least, that the mucroUSB port will be good. (I need charge and data connectivity)
