I have baseband 21a. Is it safe to install cm7. And then restore back to stock cause i've read that if you do something with the memory on cm7 and dont revert when going back to stock you will hardbrick your phone. The reason of why I am so cautious is because my phone just came back from repair. I had hardbricked my phone when trying to port miui.

I used CM7 on my v20b baseband a while ago and everything worked except ocassional wifi and signal issues
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edvard_Greig:
Hi-

I've been using Android for a little while, iOS before that, and WM6.x before that. I've really enjoyed Android, but there is one thing I notice on iOS that seems to be missing on Android. Specifically, with iOS, if you connect to a WiFi network that has a proxy/login page (e.g. hotel, commercial space etc) as soon as you attempt to use any app that requires a data connection, it recognizes it isn't connecting to the internet and pops up with login/landing page.

However, my observations on Android seem to be that it just doesn't recognize that happening, so for instance today I was at Lowe's (I had previously saved their public wifi) so my phone connected automatically. I then went into Gmail and I get a 'no available connection' which then meant I needed to launch Chrome which loaded the last page I was one, but since it did it from cache it loaded, which meant I needed to reload it which finally brought me to Lowe's landing page and allowed me to login. Compared to iOS this substantially more cumbersome, and I'd have to imagine it's a lot more complicated for those folks that understand what is going on behind the scenes.

Right now I'm running a de-sensed ICS rom on htc rezound, previously tested with thunderbolt and droid charge (all with stock and custom roms)

Does anyone know of any hacks/mods/applications that will give me more of that seamless functionality in Android?

Thanks!

I had a notification running that something from Music was downloading... I looked at disk usage and it said Music was at 2gb+ for the past week. When I clicked on the notification, a bunch of songs are listed as downloading, but no word on where they were going. I haven't played anything. Maybe I hit "store on device" accidentally while looking at a playlist? Where is "stored on device" stuff stored? (I don't see anything in android/data/...music). My disk space didn't go down 2gb (but did go down about 500mb since last time I looked).

Woke up this morning with everything working. Got out of bed and place my phone on my desk and turned on my computer. I then looked back at my phone to see i had not service. Confused, i restarted my phone to see if that worked and it didnt. I tried another sim and it didnt work either. i then put both of the sims in a iphone and it worked there. I restored the phone to stock and 2 other roms and it still isnt working. The weird part is when on stock i get signal bars even when their is no sim. When i try to dial out i get "Not Registered on Network"

Hey xTristinx, glad you got your phone working.

I have the same problem on my Galaxy S, my SIM wouldn't register a network on it but it worked on a different phone. My Galaxy S still gets a signal but always says "out of service". I think this might be a problem because my friend used his SIM card in my phone and it f***** up the bands. Could you give me any suggestions on how you fixed your problem?

Thank you.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarondr:
I've tried search for an answer, but I can't seem to find a thread specifically for this device & issue.

My wife got a Kindle Fire HD 7 on launch day. She's been really disappointed with standby battery life. As is today - she loses 2-3% per hour in stand-by. Is that normal with these devices? If she turns wifi off during sleep it appears like it uses almost no battery.

I have a Nexus 7 - with Wifi policy set to Always on - I lose maybe 5-7% per day.

Now here's the kicker - she's worked with Kindle support and they sent her a new unit. Unfortunately she's seeing the same behavior. She's fully stock, no root, doesn't want to modify. I'm cursing amazon for gimping the battery stats in ICS. At least I can see on my Nexus who/what is using power.

I've had her try resetting the device and just leaving it not setup (no apps, just clean) does the same thing. Maybe I set her expectations too high, but I've owned a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus and the Nexus 7 - they use no where near the amount of power in stand-by. Heck my galaxy nexus was a 95% after 4 hours of standby; her fire was at 90% with absolutely no use - and I actually used my phone a bit whereas the kindle was just sitting in the living room.

Of note: the kindle itself does not appear to get 'hot' when in standby.

Did I set her expectations too high for a 7" tablet? Or is there something more going on here? The only thing I haven't tried is having her deauthorize her kindle and connect to my account (to see if it's some weird 'sync' related issue).

Sorry if I ranted a bit - I pride myself on figuring this kind of stuff out by lurking on forums - this one has me stumped!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
That is not normal. I had lots of issues trying to figure out the KFHD battery drain issues and have been cautious on what to install. However if you do have location services turned on, it will drain the battery like no tomorrow. Once I turned it to off, I noticed my device will finally achieve deep sleep. Also check any apps that auto update data. The stock email is fine but things like hootsuite will keep it awake if you let it auto check for messages. I also noticed certain widgets such as Pandora may keep it from going to deep sleep even if I never ran the app. I found the KFHD to be very finicky. I went over to Nexus 7, I don't want a device that requires babysitting.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diazlaz:
What is the best way to tell if the kindle is in deep sleep ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarondr:
Yeah - location services are off. Just did another factory restore and signed in with my Amazon account (nothing configured beyond sign in) to see if it still does the same thing. My nexus uses less power web browsing than the kfhd in stand by :p
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkemist80:
I use cpuspy app, it only works on rooted devices.

Also OP, make sure your wife manually turns off the screen when the device is not in use. I noticed the battery drains rather fast if you let it time out in that 5 min. Also use auto brightness. Otherwise I'm not sure what else to tell you. Once I found my culprits, the battery life was much better.

On a side note, don't use any apps that modify wifi settings. That will break whatever hidden setting that Amazon has programmed and you can't get it back without a rest. Unlike the first edition KF, wifi will stay on, at least for exchange emails.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarondr:
Yeah she's button OCD - so no problem there. She's used manual brightness set at like 30%.

I specifically did a factory reset last night on the 'old' device - signed in to my account (to remove her account as the 'cause'), charged up to 100%, unplugged and let set overnight (10 hours on the nose) - screen was off the whole time. Lost 33% battery! Gosh I wish I had a full battery stats :( Now she's looking at the new Nook.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
I've had this issue ever since upgrading to ICS. It will say sd unexpectedly removed, or corrupted sd card a few times per day. Tried a new sd card, and got a replacement phone from T-Mobile..still does it on every Rom I use. Quite annoying. But, I have found that taking out my battery and holding the power button for a few seconds to drain all the juice out seems to bring it back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
It means that the sd card is formatted to something that its not supported by the phone. I had this problem before, save all the data on your computer, make a folder and name it sd backup. then on the phone do a factory format only on the sdcard. or you can do it on recovery, it will format the sdcard too. then move all your stuff back from the computer and you're good to go

i had this with one of my sdcard not long ago. i copied all the data from the sdcard to my computer and formatted the sdcard using another phone and put the data back on it and never had an issue since. i probably could have used the s2 to format while i was troubleshooting but it got fixed before i could try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BunmiHiT3k:
This happened to mine too. Well sorta, I can see my files, but I can't add or delete stuff off of it when connected to the computer. idk what else to do, maybe buy a new sd card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
If you can save all your files to computer then let the computer format sd card to default fat32 not ntfs. Then move files back to sd card and it should fix the problem. I have done this method several times and it worked for me.

Hi all,

I wanted to try to compile my own kernel for my HTC but I'm kinda stuck...

I'm following this tutorial (sry for spaces, can't post link) wiki. cyanogenmod. com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source#Download_Kernel_Source_Code

but the kernel source seems broken, I had to fix two files

#	modified: arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock-7x30.c
#	modified: arch/arm/mach-msm/acpuclock.h

and now I'm getting this error:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/arm/mach-msm/board-surf7x30.o', needed by `arch/arm/mach-msm/built-in.o'. Stop.
make: *** [arch/arm/mach-msm] Error 2

Can anyone guide me a bit? Also should I take CyanogenMod Kernel source or the one from htcdev? Whats the diference?

Any help appreciated :)

Thanks

[HTC Desire S] sciepy:
You mean I should add a block for the board-surf7x30.o and then disable it when running the config so it don't get compiled/touched at all?
[HTC Desire S] sciepy:
So after disabling quite a few features I got the HTC kernel compiled, but flashing it on the phone just results in a blank screen - adb is working though.

The CM kernel still fails with

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/arm/mach-msm/board-surf7x30.o', needed by `arch/arm/mach-msm/built-in.o'. Stop.
make: *** [arch/arm/mach-msm] Error 2

There is no board-surf7x30.c or .s and I can't change/disable the board type in the config... Is this a problem with the cm kernel? Also why are so many configurations not compiling - even on the official HTC kernel? It seems the makefile has entries for files that are missing. Shouldn't the kernel compile regardless of the configuration?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
If you link me the source I will take a look

EDIT: are you trying to compile another device's kernel for saga? If so it will deffinately not work.

If you want a kernel for CM7 this is the source that you can use.

For CM9 and CM10 ther is no stable kernel ATM, but for CM10 you can take Andromadus source as a base.

For Sense just download the source (Android 2.3 or 4 whichever you need) from HTCdev.com, they are ready to compile

But you you want only to overclock there are already such kernels made by others for Desire S. You can find them in the INDEX thread
[HTC Desire S] sciepy:
Why is that? Because of the different devices/drivers?

The arm/mach-xxx folders are for the different chipsets, msm beeing the one of the saga, right?

I was building this one: github.com/CyanogenMod/cm-kernel

Ok cool, thanks! Gonna play with those a bit, the CM7 kernel seems to compile so far :)

No, I want to compile it to kinda get an idea of how it works ;)
