[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
You are correct that the modules and others can be passed on through but that will increase the size of rom.So stock based roms can use the files already left behind by the stock ftf and hence there would be no need to include these module/dependencies files in the flashable zip.

Also stock based roms do not need to have kernel file as the stock firmware's kernel is already present on the phone,again reducing size.

The presence of locked bootloader makes sony phones special(although there are htc and motorola also).

In brief when u are going to install a rom that uses custom kernel,you need to have bootloader unlocked,so that custom kernel(not signed by sony)

can be installed e.g CM9.On the other hand if you have locked bootloader,you can't use custom kernel based roms and use stock based roms only e.g pulak's ultimate sola rom.

Hope this helps.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Starting off, I'm not sure if this is the right area but it is a (question) and yes it may lead to a HUGE thread but I would like to hopefully help myself and others with this topic? When it comes to battery life and extending it, what do you do like do you delete certain ROM programs that (don't) affect the ROM itself also, do you run special apps such as 'Juice Defender' etc...? I am on 'Viper 2.0' ROM and get great life just with the basic ROM features but I did also flash 'Experimental Kernel' as well which does help, just want to get the most out of my One S also see some members reporting that they get a full day or more out of one charge without topping it off so yeah lets help each other?

Thanks, TC
[HTC One S] pistl_pete:
I generally get more than one day of power out of my One S with moderate use and to achieve that I keep the screen brightness level down, I keep location services off unless I am using the phone for navigation, I choose not to turn wi-fi on in most instances since it eats up more battery than the 4g data connection and I use a dark theme and background since brighter colors require more power to keep lit up. I also have disabled apps that I know I will not use. (I would have uninstalled them but I am not rooted since I am still waiting for the offical Jellybean OTA.) I'm no expert on this matter but I would imagine having less things running in the background has to help battery life. Setting the volume to a moderate level as opposed to having it really high probably helps but won't make a huge difference. That's all I have to share on this matter. Hope this helps.
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
Im just running stock CM10 kernel with everything DarkJelly came with. In other words - I havnt done anything.

My S drains 9% over night (12-13h, I sleep a lot :p), and drains the battery 100% -> 15% in roughly 2-2.5h when playing heavy games with USB controller connected and wifi turned on.

I havnt actually measured it for every day usage, but I estimate it would last 7-8h doing light work with wifi off, 5-6h with wifi on.

I have screen brightness at min (otherwise my eyes would start bleeding lol)
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Sleep is under rated lol, thanks for response
[HTC One S] Darknites:
More like overrated, plenty of time to sleep when I die.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Yeah nice ones but I've been told that the 'Fast Dormancy' option will only help out 3G phones, still all good thoughts and thanks
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em the phone is 3g lol and the point of it is to use 3g and not h+ when its not in use.

Rootrider, Good tips there dude.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
Oh my bad, my provider 'Telus' said h+ is their 4G?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Its close but still not the real 4G.
[HTC One S] TheCrow1372:
So still better to have it checked off in Venom Tweaks hey
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em no you want this to be on.

I got as far as rebooting bootloader and am ready to unlock through HTC dev again...BUT now the I'm not getting fastboot usb option. I'm on the IRC line right now and the only answer I've been given is....unplug the cable. That's not working....can anyone help me?????
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
There's no fastboot option in boot loader ?

If you have fastboot option try unplugging USB as mentioned. Also try rebooting boot loader with and without USB plugged in. Something similar happened to me running lazypanda but a couple of reboots solved it. I think rebooting my PC done it for me but irc is your best bet for advice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thatotherguy..:
What hboot you on?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AndrasLOHF:
I got it. I had to disconnect the phone from the pc and reboot the bootloader from the phone and reconnect it about 7 or 8 times before I got the fastboot usb option back.

Hello! My new game Memory Cards!

Google Play : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avolodin.memory.cards

My memory trainer is based on regular playing cards that everyone is familiar with, which made it possible to train three ways of memorizing at once:

- breaking into parts – helps memorize information in smaller portions;

- grouping – makes it easier to memorize a common characteristic of a group of objects;

- linking – helps establish relations between objects without having to memorizing all of them.

Tasks in Memory Cards are meant to train memory and improve your attention at the same time, since your memory only keeps facts captured with the help of your attention.

Memory Cards features:

- a test mode allowing you to compare your results to those of other players

- 2 training modes

- 4 difficulty levels

- 12 card hands for each difficulty level

The goal of the first training mode is to memorize all the cards shown by the program, then, depending on the task, either pick them or specify how many cards of this type have been dealt in the current hand.

In the second training mode, you need to memorize the cards shown and then answer questions about the specified cards.

The testing mode shuffles modes, tasks and hands and gradually increases their difficulty. The test continues until the user loses or all the tasks are completed. You get points for every completed task and their number depends on the correctness of your answers.

Hi Guys,

I wanted to do a clean install. So,i formatted Cache, System.

But by mistake i formatted Data also.

Now the ROM zip file is also lost.

Can anybody help me as how to install a new OS now.

Cheers!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] issak42:
Can't you mount data and enable USB storage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psxsnake:
use GSM TOOLKIT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mac4rfree:
Device Driver installation is getting failed.. :( I am able to mount though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergini:
Connect to a computer and paste TWRP ou CWM and a ROM.

In last case, reboot to fastboot and flash google image through Galaxy Nexus toolkit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mac4rfree:
I am not able to connect to Computer and copy any files to Phone.. But using Toolkit i should be able to push ROM to Phone.. please correct me if i am wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergini:
You must flash a google image through nexus toolkit and your problem will be solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OCmylife:
Nope don`t make it so complicated. Flash a rom + gapps though adb sideload.

http://teamw.in/ADBSideload
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] original21:
Connect to the toolkit and flash a stock image. I had the same problem with you. Flashing stock image is the best option.

So do the following:

1. Download toolkit (mskip) and install drives (if not installed already)

2. Coonect your phone to a pc

3. Enter fastboot mode

4. From the toolkit choose the rom you want to flash

5. then choose the option to flash stock image (option 9 i think)

6. Sit back and relax

7. start rooting your phone again.

GOOD LUCK!:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcphobic:
Like most people here I also advice the same solution because this solution saved my friend who was in the same situation as you.

1. Download and install Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to PC

2. Download Galaxy Nexus Stock Factory Image from Google

3. Do the 3 finger boot (power+volume up+volume down) to get into Fastboot mode

4. Plug in phone to Pc

5. Launch Galaxy Nexus toolkit and Select the option that says extract and install stock factory image

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icarus1983:
Hi all,

I have had my 7 for a while however I left it for several days after it ran out of juice and I'm now experiencing the issue where it cannot charge via usb. I have an appropriate battery charger and intend to juice the battery up slightly whilst disconnected from the pad to give it enough power to rise from the dead and charge normally.

Has anyone looked into which of the 6 connections coming from the battery do what? There are obviously 2 red, 2 black, a yellow and a white. Is there something like a 5v, 12v and data connection??

Can someone educate me to which connections I can apply voltage to, to charge it please?

I would rather go down this route if possible rather than going through warranty as I have no backup of the items currently on my nexus.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Cheers,

Rob
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterk-1:
What little I know about Li Po cells/batteries is:

The nexus 7 has a single cell battery rated at 3.7v - no 5v or 12v

Charging outside the Nexus is DANGEROUS. Protective bags are used to hold LiPo cells whilst charging (and transporting them).

Where the wires enter the cell there is a thin section that will be a PCB with protective electronics that will monitor the temperature of the cell.

Your red/black pairs COULD be a pair for charging and a pair to power the Nexus and the white and yellow ???????

Your charger should have this info in its instructions.

Two remarks to finish DON'T DO IT and search Youtube for "LiPo overcharge"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
I've done it with phone batteries when I've been at a mates or something and I've ran out of battery and not had my charger.

Its safe, provided you give it the correct voltage, to the correct pins lol, and don't try and fully charge. Give it 50% of its normal charge time max. But since you only need to get into the boot loader to properly power off so it will charge again you're only speaking about a quick ten minute charge..

As for the two pairs, its maybe a 2 cell battery.

White and yellow are likely temperature sensor.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
I'm facing exactly the same problem, and no "normal" work-arounds seem to be working for me, I just can't get into the bootloader. So it is either trying to recharge it myself or buying a battery..

So given the fact that you have done it with other devices, could you please explane how you would start with all this? Here is a picture of of the nexus 7 battery connector, if it would help you:

(the picture is from ifixit).

I was thinking about molesting the usb cable of my htc and use the black and red cables to charge the battery (I suppose that a USB output can not put a to high voltage to the battery?), but I do not know which red/black poles to use on the battery connector..

Thank you very much in advance!

Erwin
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
Ive never done one with two pairs like that, but here's what I'd do to get enough charge to boot at least. I would connect my positive from the charger to one of the battery connectors reds, and connect the negative to one of the blacks (obviously lol). Give it 5 minutes only, then swap your negative charger wire onto the other black of the nexus. Give it 5 minutes only again.

Then swap your positive charger wire over to the other red of the nexus and repeat the process, keeping the positive on that red and connecting the negative to each black for 5 minutes.

You only need enough charge to boot, so this will be fine. Also, keeping it to 5 minutes each keeps it safe.

An even better way to do it would be wait until tomorrow until I can get a hold of a multimeter and i would check to see how the pairing is, then you could do it without the guesswork. But if you can't wait, I've told you the way that i would do it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
I'm trying to be patient for almost a week now, so one day (or more, if you need them) will not be a problem ;) Take as much time as you need, I'm already thankfull that you are willing to look into it!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knuckles1978:
I'll be able to get a multimeter tomorrow for sure, that way i can check it out properly for you. The other way is safe and would definitely work though, but its no problem for me to check it out. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
Again, thank you already in advance, I hope this gets me out of trouble. What an inacceptable bug, bah.

One additional question though, if you don't mind. What are your thoughts of using the stripped usb cable an my laptop to deliver that little bit of battery juice? I'm good with my hands, can replace every part of your bike and am able place a new smartphone screen with my eyes closed, but I just don't know anything about the real hardcore electronics :p

All the best,

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
It is not a bug. Your tablet has entered a sleep mode to prevent t the battery from being damaged. I have previously posted the procedure to enable it to charge and wake again. Search through my recent posts for the fix- I unfortunately can't link it right now due to time constraints.

ETA: Plug your N7 into the charger and immediately press power and volume down to get into the bootloader. Once there, use the volume key to scroll to Power Off Device and then press the power button. After it powers off, unplug it and then plug it back in. It should then charge normally.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErwinP:
I'm sorry, but this is a bug and not a feature of the device protecting you. If the device runs out of battery, it should do what every other tablet and smartphone does: shut down. And it should shut down 'way before' the battery is completely out of power, so that it still has a fair amount of battery capacity to at least once initate startup, notice that the battery is too low to continue and shut down properly. Of course, if you try to restart the device several times whilst it doesn't have any battery power left, then you are damaging your device. But than you are an idiot as well :)

Look at wat happens when you are working on your N7 and power comes to 0%. Indeed: it will shut down properly and you will be able to charge it without any problems. However, if battery comes to about 10% and you do not shut it down manually but leave it just sitting there, the device will do what it normally does: it goes to (deep?) sleep. However, even deep sleep consumes battery and inevitably you will reach the point where the battery is at 0% (seen by the android device). But instead of waking up and shutting down the device properly, it just stays into its deep sleep, consuming power and finally undercharging your battery making the device totally irresponsive. This is what I call, a bug.

I know now that I should either shut down or recharge my N7 when I come to the point of 10-15% battery. But hey, once you learn that, it is too late, this is why I'm here :)

Thank you very kindly for your help, but as stated before, I have tried everything already. Including a whole evening trying to get the timing right to see the android bootloader following the solution you mention. But it doesn't give anything but frustration. So I understand why you point to that solution, but that is one of the first solutions that comes up if you google my N7 phenotype. Again, thank you kindly, but for now I do not see any other solution than trying to get an inital voltage in that battery manually.

Best regards,

Erwin

Same issue has happened to me and I can not even enter the bootloader...

What is your status on this issue?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiddeveloperg:
did anyone charge it manually out of the nexus ? I've verified that the black is - and the red is + with a multimeter. battery reads .47 with multimeter. If you guys are going to charge it 5 minutes per pair, definitely get a multimeter to read the positive and negative coming out of the 5v chargers.. also, make sure that it's about 5 volts cuz some are about 6? I dont' know if having too high of a voltage will fry it.. i do know from experience that some usb chargers are 5 and some are 6 volts and some are even slightly more. I'm talking about getting a transformer that goes from usb to the circular out put head..

Charge manually

I did charged the battery manually.

For about 1 minute for each pair of red/black.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VanquishUK:
Not to bump an old thread but manually charging indeed fixes this problem. Used a multimeter to take a reading from one nexus 7 and then cut up an old usb and hooked it up to the ends of the multimeter and placed them on the first 2 points. Charging manually up to about 3.7ish should be enough to accept a charge.

Thanks guys saved buying a new battery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
i have a bit of life after manually charging, is it important to do both pairs of black and red? I have 2 batteries and now the nexus flashes an empty battery logo up when i hold the power button, its better than before as nothing came up at all but still wont boot up
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfantham:
I just charged my battery up manually using a proper Li-Po battery charging unit, left it charging at 2.5A until it hit 4.0V. No problems.

I did not charge up both pairs. I believe this is unnecessary: see first image in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2311799

The pairs of red and black are actually soldered together, so it doesn't make a difference which pin you apply the voltage to.

I would be worried about charging the battery directly with a 5.0V supply (ie. USB voltage). Don't do it if you can avoid it.

If at any point when charging a battery directly you notice it getting hot, stop immediately.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan77:
External charging nexus 7 batteries

Use the black - and the red + wires to charge .Charge the outer red and black wires ,I use a 5 volt charger since these batteries are rated at 3.7 v + or - .5v Charge the batteries to a voltage reading of 4.2 volts this will be a full charge.Please Note you will be charging this battery with out a protection over voltage or temp sensor system. If the battery is bad ,will not take charge due to damaged cells, or is overheated while charging they will burst apart.Charging with out protection circuits can damage batteries and also harm yourself.You do this at your own RISK.

The Red and Black wires are CONNECTED TOGETHER

Slit open the edge of the black plastic where the 6 wires enter the controller (2 x red, 2 x black, yellow, white wires). The blacks are terminated together and the reds are terminated together so no need to keep switching wires and 'charging pairs'! This is a large single cell 3.7v LiPo with ONE cell.
