[Asus Transformer TF700] pladoog:
everytime i run any apps and close/exit/quit whatever, normally i use back botton (left botton)

but when i'm on homescreen and look at recent apps, i saw all apps i quit before showing

Are those apps still running? and if i does not swip it away from recent queue, are they running forever?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The recent apps menu shows ... recently used apps. This has nothing to do with them being still running or loaded in memory.

Android does keep the recently used apps loaded in memory and automatically removes them if the foreground app needs more memory. So in theory you never need to actually exit any app, it is managed by the OS.

In practice, it's a little more complicated - there are "activities", which are those parts of an app you directly interact with, and there are "services", which perform background processes (playing music, downloading, checking for updates, ...). So while there is always only one activity running (and all the others are stopped), there may be several background services which are running or at least periodically wake up to do something, and those actually consume CPU time, memory and battery.

your explanation very good, i'm clear right now

thank you :good:

How I can do that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Local what ?????

Local usually refers to something nearby, or in the immediate area.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GR0S:
Locale, language exactly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
oh you mean the local language? i dunno if that is possible.. it all depends on the application (unless you want to email the dev of that app to translate it completely)

but system-wise, you can always change it to your local language.

I am having to ordin with pit, to unbrick my infuse again. I'll be starting from stock GB rooted with gingerbread boot loader. What ICS Rom do I need to flash to keep my imei and provide a stable stepping stone to flash slim bean 2.6, or 2.7 so I won't lose my imei and have to go backwards again?

Thanks mike
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
You should be able to use any of the ICS ROMs. Use CM9, then follow the OP instructions for Slim Bean.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1874000

Instructions at Slim Bean state:

Upgrading Slim Bean

Just wipe cache/dalvik cache and flash files in order (Device file first, then Slim Gapps) unless I specify in the changelog

From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean

Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM"
[Samsung Infuse 4G] csandman1977:
I remember mg saying that a small % of people lost imei regardless of following instructions exactly or not. Also someone said somewhere that flashing cm10 restored there imei.

of course I've also been jacked up on pain medication this week so I could be wrong. But I'm 95% sure I didn't hallucinate those statements.
[General Questions and Answers] DD-Ripper:
I prefer Galaxy S II....although its an old phone, it still gives tough competition to others and it has many CUSTOM ROMS and other stuffs too...that's the benefit of older phones.

While as go for XPERIA S if you like HD Display and Quad core CPU..etc.

Its your choice...:)

as per topic, wondering if i can flash a rom if my volume button is spoilt?

my htc suddenly behaved weirdly and screen sporadically seems to keep pressing the back button (or at least it keeps backing when i am in some app) , then freeze. i have to press power button to off, wait a while and on it and it's back to normal, and after some time, reverts to freezing. not sure if it's because i force close apps too much tho. so i thought maybe i could try flashing a new rom. but my volume button isn't working so is it still possible to flash?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
If you are s-on you would need to first fix your volume botton(s) before trying to root your device. If you don't it would just jam you up. There are several threads on ways to fix your volume buttons.

If you are already rooted and have flashed roms before (which is not stated, thus unlickly), you could flash a touch recovery. However, I am unsure if the volume buttons could be used or are used in the touch version (which I believe it is) and since they are stuck, the button, it could act up on you.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
1. Repair your volume button (jam it in there or glue it in)

2. Root using AAHK (I'll post instructions later, out at the moment)

3. Flash 4EXT Touch Recovery

4. Profit??

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whateheck:
hmm, i could press the up volume long time ago if i press it hard enough, but it's all unresponsive now. gone as far as unscrewing the 2 screws at the batt area and unsure how to proceed with that volume knocker at the side below the batt compartment. so i stopped at that that time.

It's just that this sudden sporadic backing /screen freeze seems more of a bother so i thought perhaps i should try flashing, or should i try a factory reset?

yes i rooted before and is now at arhd 5+ but hadn't used touch recovery before- you mean ext4 app?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
Ahh you're rooted. So much easier now :)

Yeah grab the free one from the market and flash away :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whateheck:
yup, tried prising then so the lower part seems abit jutting out; the most it can do is slide a little up and down lol. there wasn't much info on this vol thingy and i saw one vid on disassembling the htc which kinda skims through this part and made it looked so easy (but i had no freaking idea what he did after unscrewing the screws) so i sorta left it as that and used a volume app instead :(

so I'm rooted and able to use the 4ext? the only 4ext i found in google play was the one i needed to pay but there was a link to the site where i could grab the free one though. supposedly if i didn't fix the volume button, am i able to use this to flash?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
The videos make it seem all to easy :/

Yeah just grab the free one and flash the 4EXT Recovery. Trust me you'll like it much better. Easier to use, more fluid and doesn't require the volume rocker for use :)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if4ct0r:
Do you have ADB? You don't really need the Volume button if you're already rooted and s-off to flash ROMs.

Flash a recovery like 4EXT or even CWM Touch. 4EXT is better though. You can flash 4EXT through the app in the play store and for CWM Touch you can get it here.

If you do decide to go for CWM Touch, you'll have to flash it via fastboot. Read the forums on how to do that or let me know I'll post it later if you can't find anything.

After you flash a recovery and get ADB and HTC Sync on your system. Just use the command "adb reboot recovery" to reboot the device straight to recovery without having to press the volume button.

I've been surviving without the volume down button for a long time now. And I regularly flash stuff so I can say it's not that big a deal. It is kinda living on the edge.. :P But ADB always helps me out. :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whateheck:
tks i should try the ext recovery later.

phone's acting up and the top menu icon keeps interchanging between the icons and date by itself more intermittently. :(

for the wipe, i just check all of the options? and it'll bring me back to the recovery menu when done?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
In 4ext there's an option to wipe all partitions except SD Card. Literally two touch flashing. So simple, I done it today in an computer lesson at school :P

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordpipa:
don't you have the option to reboot into recovery by long pressing power button? Beats adb fastboot recovery. My vol down rocker is broken and this for me its the best option.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whateheck:
Ohh,thanks

Hm nope,my power button doesn't show the boot into recovery option .

My screen was acting up so bad that

I wasn't able to do anything for a while and I thought it was a hardware issue so I went to do a factory reset instead to see if it'll be alright. But it still freezes the screen sometimes, more obvious when typing and it either jumps about /freezes. I guess it's the display issue or digitizer issue then ? :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordpipa:
Happens to me to. Maybe rom related? I just jump to lockscreen by hitting the power button and unlocking gets me out of the freezing or acting up. Try this. Open a command window on your PC. Get to adb devices and prepare an adb reboot recovery command. Don't press enter yet. Remove the battery and reinsert it. Start the phone and quickly connect your phone to PC. You'll hear the connection sound, as you hear this , start executing the command window . The phone will boot into recovery. There you could flash ice cold sandwich which hast the boot into recovery option .

Edit: You could also download this to enter recovery.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot

Also suggest you flash 4ext recovery.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whateheck:
I could actually still move around after my factory reset. So can probably reinstall the 4ext to flash but doesn't seem to be Rom related since I had this arhd for more than half a year and this freezing suddenly occured a few days back :(

Dunno man. This is what I do if I enter any bootloops as my volume rocker doesn't work. Hope everything gets sorted out. Here's my set up adjusting to life without a volume rocker

Tnx man don't know if you r being sarcastic or what but its a theme called Goog Le Bean. Also apex ics glass theme for the icons and aokp wallpaper Apk. As for the app that let's you select how you want to reboot its Quick boot and its a couple of posts back.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohazia:
You can do it very simply

On device:

1- Download ROM Manager (ClockWorkMod) OR 4EXT Recovery

2- Download and Flash Recovery for your device.

3- from the application select reboot on recovery

if you already have recovery, simply download ROM Toolbox Lite and browse down to Rerbooter, then root into recovery.

On PC, with USB Development active

It's very simple :fingers-crossed:

can anyone give the speed test apk which has high res,like extracted apk from HD res phones
[General Topics] gagdude:
The apk is the same, unless they release an HD version. The app willl automatically adjust itself to match the display size ane resolution of your phone.

If you take the apk with only hdpi and install on mdpi (your HTC Explorer), it would show only the corner of the app, as your phone would not have enough pixels to display all of it on the screen

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3n0n10:
I'm afraid not. That kind of actions are highly unlikely to be modified by custom rom builders like cyanogenmod. Not entirely sure, but i believe the notification bar shows up when you activate the app switcher by holding the home button. That way you can access the notification bar in a rather quick way.

Is there any way to forcefully sync contact images?

Some of my contacts have put/updated their contact images but they are not being synced...

Also, they are coming in low quality even though I'm using JB...:confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Known "issue". Although JB supports high resolution contact pictures it syncs small ones. I personally use HaxSync to sync my contacts with their Facebook accounts to get high quality pictures. Not sure if there's a free/better way.

Use Facebook Contact Sync. Free in the Play Store.

I could be wrong. But I'm pretty sure if you have Google sync enabled on your phone the high quality pics and any other contact info changed should sync. If it doesn't sync automatically, go into settings and sync contact.
