Right, I want it as an event under contacts, but the manual process is what I'm trying to avoid. This seems like a pretty simple idea (as long as contacts have the same name.) Don't know why it's more difficult than adding to a calendar. I guess it's related to the fact that when you sync Facebook contacts their birthdays are not there also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] greekunit690:
Haxsync seems to put the birthday under contacts as well its a setting in advanced

Hi,

I am using Jabra Sport earphones together with my Droid 4. Music gets streamed, but no system notifications. My music will get muted on my earphones, while the system notifications (of new messages, email etc) is played from my phone, and then the music resumes on my earphones again.

Am wondering if this is specific to Droid 4, do you have any issues with your bluetooth headsets, or is it a problem with Jabra. Or is there a setting I need to configure on my Droid 4 to play all sounds through bluetooth?

Thank you!
[HTC Desire C] gsxrrocker:
ok, so I used the all-in-one tool kit (from the development area) to root my phone. The CWM went fine. I tried to flash the explosion rom (developers area again) and when it rebooted it went into the "development purposes only" screen. I can boot into bootloader and access the hboot and fastboot options. I tried going into recovery and factory reset, but it just reboots into the developer screen again. Any advice on how to remedy this is greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you

Missing customize/mns and cid folder, flash other rom to fix.
[HTC Desire C] gsxrrocker:
I hate to say it, but can you dumb that down a bit... I am a bit of a noob
[HTC Desire C] desirech4cker:
.

Dumb version: the dev that made the rom removed folder mns and cid folder to remove htc sense stuff which is needed for htc framework, or has some missing values in the xml, if you still don't understand ask it in the explosion rom thread about the bug.
[HTC Desire C] gsxrrocker:
ok, thanks., I clicked the button for ya. So, I got the why it happened, still not sure what to do now. I did the CWM before, but now when I try to boot to recovery, it kicks me back to the "developer screen." I've tried redoing the CWM, but still can't get into it, so I don't know how to wipe everything and/or flash a new rom.
[HTC Desire C] desirech4cker:
Connect phone to usb turned on even it's on developer screen or on homescreen type "adb reboot recovery" in windows cmd, be sure your on adb folder when you used to unlock your bootloader.

Then it will shut off and be in recovery, if still can't go to recovery reflash recovery.img typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" in bootloader mode, then go back to fastboot and choose recovery.
[HTC Desire C] gsxrrocker:
rebooted to recovery, kicked back to "dev screen", flashed recovery.img (cwm), successful. Returned to bootlloader, clicked recovery, kicked back to "dev screen." Any other ideas? I don't know if I can click that button multiple time, but I'm going to try and I really appreciate your patience.
[HTC Desire C] gsxrrocker:
Ok, So I played pissed off retail customer and got them to replace my phone... Love it...

Anyways, I just had one question before I risk tanking another phone. I know a lot of people run GSM, but mine is CDMA, can I root, and run the unknown rom as laid out in the noob guide in the general discussion area? or was that part of my problem in the first place?
[HTC Desire C] andrewtjb:
You could do it but I think you might lose access to your network because of the different radios but I'm not 100% sure.

If you are gonna try tho you should probably make sure you have a ruu for your network (if you can find one) so you can flash it back if anything goes wrong.
[HTC Desire C] desirech4cker:
You can't flash roms bcoz it's all for GSM that's why you got problems.
[HTC Desire C] woodmaster:
Wait...how did you gain root and what recovery were you trying to flash that ROM with. My CDMA Desire C will not root or boot into recovery. The superuser script requires you to be able to boot a custom recovery to flash it...and all I get is the developer screen error like you. AI have posted for how to find info on building a recovery for the CDMA version, but noone has responded. And there are no sources for our CDMA version listed, which I complained to HTC about. But they misunderstood my complaint as a complaint that we were not upgraded to JB yet...dummköpfe

UPDATE 2 : 29th Nov

ok lemme rephraze what i need

i am having a drain bug in my setup, be it stock or custom rom .

using latest safestrap and running stock ICS , black widow and eclipse Roms

all showing similar levels of battery drain.

cant use fastboot or anything that requires a PC to flash stuff as my phone wont connect to any PC.

just tell me how to fix this battery drain issue without using a PC

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE as on Nov 29th

after reading a lot , i came to know that the guy from whom i bought this phone flashed a kexec XT910 CM10 build on it , the build couldnt work as the phone process was force closing ,

but i suppose despite my reactivating the stock the kexec build kernel is still functional on the phone thereby leading to battery loss in sleep as well as occasional freeze,

So i guess in this light someone can shed some light on the issue of how can i replace this evil cm10 kexec kernel with the stock ics Xt912 kernel WITHOUT THE USE OF A PC as i suspect flashing of that cm10 build isnt letting me connect to any PC in any mode with any cable.

CHK the attached pics for the condition the phone was in when i bought.

=====================================================

ORIGINAL QUERY​

got a XT912 Of ebay.

phone has safestrap , stock partition , and 4 others .

when i got it , it was on cm9 i guess or 10 with phone process force closing

iall i did was boot to stock Xt912 thru safestrap ( stock ics 4.0.4 was already there )

But the issue has been i have not been able to connect this phone to any PC with any cabae at all, wanted to clean it and flash the 4.0.4 XML via rsd lite , the phone charges alright via usb cable, but as soon as you plug it in the prompt says unrecognised device, changes all the options in storage settings as well.

but i could live without that,

the other and most annoying major issue is that the Kernel in stock has gone totally evil, its sucking up all the juice Gsam battery info shows 85% of battery was drained by it sitting idle in last 6 hrs :P

one more interesting thing is that the phone itself becomes frozen , the soft touch lights keep glowing and the phone screen goes black and unresponsive to everyrthing, i have hardset reset by power and vol down to reboot. wehat is this happeneing

its happening on stock ROM as well as eclipse rom that i just installed on another partition thru safestrap.

can anyone tell me

1.. how to get over usb connection unrecognized thingy ( tried every possible thing i could fine )

2.. how can i flash the stock ICS with stock kernel without connecting to usb, are there zip files available for that , dont wanna mess up whatever i already am having.

any help would be appreciated
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mlndshh:
are your drivers installed?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
yes installed and reinstalled latest drivers many times.

currently installed MotorolaDeviceManager_2.3.4, i guess they r latest.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
updated the safestrap

installed another ROM in eclipse 1.5 on the partition 2

but still battery drain is similar and got 2 phone freezes as well.

and still not able to connect the phone to PC in any possible way .

looks like some glitch in the kernel as Gsam battery monitor shopws kernel is using up a lot of battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
nones having any idea ?

i am kinna stuck guyz

chip in with whatever you think is doable

[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
try different cable or computer. then, if eclipse or stock "sees" your device, flash stock firmware using RSD lite

or, flash another kernel

also, there is another method flashing stock firmware, but I see now that the site is not working anymore...

http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/53-eternityproject-fla****-rsd-alternative-for-flashing/

try yourself later

good luck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
is it not possible to flash another kernel , i meran the stock kernel using cwm or safestrap ?

i guess till this phone accepts any cord or PC , thats the best bet :P
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heblu:
Unfortunately there is NO way to flash stock firmware, nor kernel without using an usb cable...

You can only flash radio with custom recovery (I've tried bootmenu manager)

For a better info about flashing kernel, see posts 525 and 526 form here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1964792&page=53

Have you tried another computer and cable?

Also I suppose your pc doesn't see the phone when is in fastboot mode...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
Yes nothing in USB or fast boot mode.

Although phone does connect in sbf made but that again needs it to be in fast bout to flash the ROM.

Gonna give those links a try.

Is there any jig or something somewhere.

edit : well again this also requires connecting to PC , which isnt possible

is there no way to flash stock or just kernel only via recovery :(

Or may be just link me to any custom stock based ROM which has the stock kernel in it.

i can transfer the rom zip to my sd card thru other means and flash thru the safestrap recovery
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SAJdroid:
The kexec Kernel doesnot delete your stock kernel , it just bypasses it . Your best bet is to ask the CM10 dev on how to remove/uninstall the ROM & kernel. I guess HSD-Pilot/Hashcode will be able to help you out.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
thanks mate , but these ROMs can be flashed only thru RSDlite in fastboot mode and for that you need your phone to be connected to a PC ,

and my issue is my phone doesnt get recognised by any PC at all :(

i need a kernel or a rom with a kernel that can be flashed via recovery

[Motorola Droid RAZR] 85gallon:
Don't know on the fixing battery draing and I am out of suggestions.

Just a few things. And I read a lot of your problem.

When you say windows won't recognize it, are you talking about USB pop ups when you plug it in saying device not recognized?

Because the phone is fragged. That would seem normal.

I just double-checked mine.

In AP fastboot mode windows does not load the normal USB drivers. The only place it shows in windows is under ADB Device in Device Manager. No pop ups.

When in AP Fastboot, the phone recognizes when a USB cable is plugged in. AND when I fire up RSDLite, and I click show devices and it shows nothing. But it should still load.

I just wanted to make sure that you weren't relying on the normal pop-up you get when you normally plug your phone in. You are not going to get that when phone is in fastboot mode. Windows won't show any pop-ups. But it does show in Device Manager under ADB Devices. And the phone switches over to connected on the display.

I just wasn't clear if you had tried that from reading your posts.

Hope you get it resolved.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SamuHarin:
Hi,

lord dredd I have exactly the same problem, but i haven't applied custom ROM or other kernel. My Device is running on stock OS.

This problem began on sunday, 25th of November, and from that day i'm struggling to repair it.

What i have discovered through App "BetterBatteryStats" is that there are constantly active two kernel wakelocks: "usb" and "suspend_backoff". Through App "OS Monitor" i found that process "system" is constantly using 15-30% of CPU. Sometimes this process is calming down, but plugging USB cord to the phone results in waking it up again.

I think that this two are connected with each other.

The last thing i can now think about is that the USB port or motherboard in the device is corrupted.

I hope that this information will be helpfull in diagnosing what is causing this problem.

Sory, if my english is bad, but i'm not, a native english speaker.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
Yes I have tried the fast bolt modes and tried flashing with rsd lite as well as tried adb commands too

But nothing actually happens.

The phone sits like that and in adb it says waiting for the device.

I have now lost all hope and will not use this phone.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
well somhow

unrooting and un installing safestrapisnt possible in stock partition

i installeed safestrap 3 as well as 2 via apks , but whenever i try to run them it says that safestrap has stopped

so technically i am not able to even uninstall recovery or uninstall safestrap in stock partition.

anyways

i trieed to flash that zip in rom partition 1 and it flashed , but as it doesnt have a kernel , the issue of battery drain is still there.

i also tried to flash zip files 211 via stock recovery but it didnt flash

also tried to flash the 215 update leak via stock recovery , that too isnt possible
[Motorola Droid RAZR] solefero69:
I'm having the same battery drain issue too... I'm on stock 4.0.4 . In 3-4 hours of using the phone, the battery is tottaly discharged :\
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
if you are able to connect to the PC , then just download the latest xml zip and flash via rsdlite.

you should be good to go.

just backup all your imp data on your SD card beforehand

As far as i am concerned !!! :(

i have lost my money on this phone,

and really didnt expect this but pmed like 7 developers of droid razr about my problem but none of them replied.

now i am all done, cant devote anymore time of this piece of junk now !!! wrapped it up and will drop it to a reseller !!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 85gallon:
I don't blame them. I feel bad for you, but the devs are not android tech support.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lord dredd:
Ok may be this will help all

i was able to fix nearly every issue ( yupp nearly , coz phone still cant connect to any PC using the normal usb cable )

well a friend fixed it by flashing the stock ICS using RSDlite thru a factory cable :)

with factory cable i am able to do everything :)

so now that i have fresh stock , fresh root and fresh safestarp

i am raring to go.

If anyone can suggest the cure for the usb device not recognized issue with the normal usb cables i would be so so grateful

thanks to all who replied and tried their best to help me,

and thanks to all the 7 Developers too, who couldn't help me ( i pmed all of those but couldnt get any reply )

one more question , i have installed win 7 to my htc hd2 . but it is not activating through the popular method of ChevronWP7. this is what i did,

but i think this method is old now and very very complicated , isn't there some other way to crack wp7?

1. Install WP7 sdk (Not confirmed, Skip and see if it works);

2. Install zune;

3. Make partneship with zune and phone;

4. Attach the cert to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);

5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;

6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;

7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly);

6. Install toms .xap installer;

7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone);

8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);

9. Run connection setup to install the .provxal;

10. Setup up your live ID and enter the activation code (on the phone).
[HD2 General] mengfei:
there are new WP7 (WP7.8) that are already working fine, you just need to get the activation code either via email or talking to someone from MS support which i did & got my activation code.

check out the WP7 thread.

did wp 7.8 work fine with htc hd2? please can you send me the installation thred link?
[Nook Touch General] David0226:
If all you really want is the kindle app, I would suggest you root using 'tinynoot'. No Google apps or appstore, but you can download the Kindle for android app .apk and install it using EZ Installer, which you can get from the Amazon Marketplace. If you actually want to read email and install apps from the Google app store, you will need to use an different method however.
[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
I beg of you: do a reset to stock and back up your device using noogie if you have not already got a bog-standard, unmodified state backup of your device. Your backup should be ~2gig in size, and a really careful person test-fires that backup on a 2-4 gig storage medium other than their NST to be sure they wind up with a disk that has 8 partitions on it once they restore.

This weekend, I decided to try manually updating my rooted glowworm to 1.2.0. I was more-or-less successful but still saw enough unusual things that I went ahead and did an image based restore. Time to backup and restore was less than 15 minutes all told. Time to **** around with manually copying in the files, rather longer :)

You can indeed use tinynoot which installs the Amazon appstore (much less complex than getting Play going) and I'd think that you could get Kindle installed via Amazon?

FWIW, the Kindle app on the Nook e-ink devices, ahem, fellates gangrenous goats.

I recommend using Calibre and the de-drm tools to manage your own DRM and open the possibility of migrating most or all of your Amazon library to any format you like.
[HTC Rezound] bolt_of_thunder:
OK so I've tried googling and all that but this problem doesn't seem to be as common as the mainver is older issue.

Background:

Just sold the phone on swappa but I need to return to stock before I send it, hopefully tomorrow. I was s on running neo 1.7 before I got into this mess.

Issue:

I booted into recovery and did a factory reset. I then booted into hboot and did a factory reset there also. I think I then selected the wipe internal storage option. I then proceeded to relock the bootloader which I believe was successful since it says relocked now.

I have downloaded and tried flashing 3 different ICS RUUs by renaming them to the appropriate phxxx name and flashing them in hboot. It goes thru the process a little ways and then all of a sudden I get the "hboot is older" error and "update failed" message. My Hboot version is showing 2.27 which i believe is the newest one. I can't do anything and can't find a solution. I really need to figure out how to fix this asap so I can get the buyer his phone. All help is greatly appreciated!
