I was rooted and running stock att, touchwiz for a while with no issues. It started to get slow and on my nerves (and I was thinking of all the empty promises about this phone like inductive charging, google wallet, JB4.2.2, faster than iphone etc.) so I decided to kick in the bucket and install CM10.1. Install went smoothly, I accidentally installed the wrong google apps, but realized it, reinstalled everything with the correct one, and all is well and dandy.

The entire time, the phone is sitting at 0% battery, so I am assuming I am barely charging enough for the phone to keep up with my usage, but it never actually dies so all is good. The icon says 'charging 0%'. I was messing around in the settings, and got to the LED color settings. Went to change the "low battery" one, and the current active one changes. I go to change the battery charging one, and nothing changes. I unplug the phone, and it immediately goes into shutdown mode due to low battery. I plug it back in and let it sit for like 5 minutes before actually booting it back up, and it boots up but battery is still at 0%.

Basically, battery drained its way down from fully charged to 0, and now won't go back up. The fact that the LED state thinks that it is "low battery" rather than "battery charging" leads me to think it is a bug. I checked the bugs thread that is stickied, and nothing comes up close to what I have. I am using the nightly build from 03-03-2013.

wipe cache/dalvik and reflash. if it does not clear the issue, full wipe and reflash. report back
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ph7ryan:
Neither worked. I thought maybe I'm just playing around with the phone too much and not giving it a chance to charge, so I plugged it into a wall socket a couple rooms over so I wouldn't touch it. 15 minutes later, I turn it on and it is still at 0% charge. The phone is pretty hot at the charger port.

I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue, because it is also unresponsive when it goes into sleep/lock mode... Won't wake, and can't even call it. The only way to get it responsive again is a hard reset.

I should still have some time left on my at&t warranty, and I have a backup from when I was still on the original recovery. Where does CWM store the recovery files on CM10?

When I was using TW, they were just in a folder on the root called clockworkmod. They are actually still there, a couple "0's" down the line in the file structure... Not really sure what that does... Now the root has no clokworkmod folder, but it definitely is storing backups because I just backed up now, and restored to one when I originally installed CM10, and I can see them both when I select "restore" in the recovery menu. Is there any way that I can put one of my backups from my computer into that folder so that I can revert, unroot, and get this thing swapped out?

The battery has been giving me all kinds of issues since I bought it and all they offered last time I went was a new battery. Hopefully with it being unresponsive as well, they will just swap out the handset.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ph7ryan:
Update:

I was able to use odin to reflash the original rom, so I am back to the non rooted state. Battery seems to be working fine, and I haven't run into a hang on lock, so it is most likely software related. I am going to redownload all of my apps slowly and see if it is one of my apps causing the hang, but the battery issue seems to still be related only to CM10.1. After all that headache, I could care less if I go back to CM10, but I think maybe you guys would want me to troubleshoot this issue, so that you can possibly fix the bug?

Let me know.

It seems to me...

It seems to me that the charging problem only happens when there are notifications waiting. As long as there are no notifications waiting, the red LED is on and the phone charges just fine. When a notification comes in and the blue LED starts flashing, charging stops or slows to a crawl or starts discharging. The longer this condition continues, the hotter the phone gets. After clearing the notifications, the red LED comes back on and the phone starts charging normally.

This seems to happen with Samsung chargers and off brand chargers.

Again, I don't know if this really happening. It just seems to all coincide.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adrian.K:
I have the same problem with at least 3 sammy based roms. If anybody has a solution please let us know. It is definitely related to the notifications.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
how/what are you wiping before each flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] therapyco:
Follow up...

It no longer seems to me that the flashing blue notification LED is the problem. I've identified two other issues with chargers.

The Samsung charger works well and fast, especially when plugged into the power outlet adapter and not computer's USB. I guess that's typical... something about only one pin being available for charging when the USB cable is connected to the port on the computer. The off brand charger (charger only, not USB/charger combo) was much slower and sometimes wouldn't charge at all.

The first I thing did was look at the tips. They are slightly different, but the thing I noticed is that two little "fangs" on the tips were more prominent/stiff on on the Samsung charger. I used a needle to pry/bend those fangs out on the off branded charger so that they pop out more. That resulted in a much more secure/tight connection to the phone and fixed the problem with the battery actually stopping charging or discharging while plugged into the off brand charger.

Next, I compared the power ratings on the two chargers. The off brand charger accepts 100-240VAC, 47-63Hz and 0.2A. Its output is 4.3-5.0V and a MAX of 0.8A.

The Samsung charger accepts 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz and 0.15A. Its output is 5V and 0.7A (seemingly a constant output no matter the input).

I hypothesize that the off brand charger's output is directly related to its input. So, the output at 120VAC input would be about 0.4A and the output at 240VAC input would be 0.8A. The Samsung charger, seems to have a constant output of 0.7A whatever the input is. So in the US with our approximate 120VAC, the off brand charger would put out maybe 0.4A and the Samsung charger would put out 0.7A or 75% more current than the off brand charger. This would explain the difference in charging rate between the two chargers.

I suppose I could get my multimeter out and verify this idea, but I'm too lazy and I'm satisfied with my hypothesis.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikecantreed:
This happens to me once every 4-5 flashes. I usually get everything set up, reboot, then power down, remove battery for 30 seconds, power on (without charger), then plug in and it charges normally. If that doesn't work try enabling fast charge (if your kernel supports it).

Anyone find a way for Macro Programming Xda (Execute apps. one by one)?

Why? Because I have an idea to turn Xda to become an Answering Machine...

Detect incoming call ----->Auto connect ----->Play a .wav file greeting message ----->Start "Note" app. ----->Start Recording ----->Save message in .wav/.mp3 format

More advance...----->Put a voice mail notice in Today screen.

See, acturally all the function are already there, only thing we have to do is how to put them together in order...

What do you think? Possible or impossible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mamamam:
:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Menneisyys:
Impossible, sorry. As has been explained in several of my articles, most Pocket PC's simply don't let for recording the other party and, therefore, can't run an answering machine decently either.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thierryb:
But some pda can record the other party voice, with or without activation of the speakers.

For instance, the xda Flame is able to record other party voice without activation of speakers.

If you develop this software, I will be interested. I will use it instead of the sins answering I use presently.

Does anyone have a working Sony Conversations.apk (incl. dependencies) for Jellybean ROMS? Resized and everything if possible.

Thank you :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chilakil:
is a bit more difficult than just changing the size and include dependencies, the application has signature level protection
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
That's a shame, I kind of liked the original 2.1 conversations app ( a lot more than the default android one anyway ), and i figured it couldn't have gotten any worse over time :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
I got use to the ics sms app, better than the old one from the 2.1 in fact. Why don't you use handcent or some app like that one so ? You could have the same kind of look and feel ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
I don't like having to type in numbers/names in order to choose who I want to send a message to. In the original, when you tap the address-box you get a list of contacts to choose from, which is easier with our limited screensize.

From the three main 3rd party apps (Handcent, GoSms and Chomp) I liked Chomp the best, but they're hard work to get looking and feeling half decent, but they also come with a lot of bloat that i just don't need.

The Xperia Conversations and Miui Messaging apps are by far the best ones i've seen so far.

I played with Achotjan's SEMC Debrand Engine for a while yesterday, it felt like coming home, lol. Unfortunately, for a GB-based ROM, it feels a lot laggier and slower than even the new JB Roms, so I can't live with it for too long.

If I could just have that conversation app (and maybe the calendar too) on my MiniCM10 I would be completely happy.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
I have ics with the original sms app and I don't have to type numbers, just the first letters then i've the list with names beginning with the letters i've typed at first :-/
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
If you have more than two contacts with similar starting names, you have to put away the keyboard so you can see the list properly, select the contact, call up the keyboard again to type other recipients, etc... I don't want that. Just give me a list of contacts so i can choose them with a swype and a tap. If you've tried the sony conversations app you will know how much easier it is to use.

I want to make swap support in my rom using yank555.lu kernel.

in the options it said that I need to make a swap partition before actually flashing the kernel.

The problem is that I don't have an SD to usb adapter.

The question is can I use the cwm option "partition external sd card" to make it work?

And also how do I use it to actually make a swap partition?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
I believe that issue (43) means the ruu you are trying to run is older than your current installation. Also, I had this issue with a wildfire and I only managed to fix it by flashing a new bootloader. This may sound obvious but have you tried the factory reset option from hboot? It can help lot in these situations.

Also you don't mention it but are you s-off or s-on?

Tapped out from my sexy nexus 7 ;)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
Hi there thanks for the info,

I forgot to mention that is s-on, as far as i know this is a complelty stock device its never been modified.

Last night, i used my other machine which is windows but couldnt get it to find the device using the stock rom ruu program (even though the android usb drivers were installed, and i also downloaded the guide to debranding and rooting the phone, which also failed at the goldcard step, which i think is due to the version of windows xp thats on it (black xp)

My girlfriend is back tonight with her netbook which has an official xp with all the service packs if i dont find another way to do it.

I think i done a factory reset, but its hard to tell what is actually selected as scrolling causes corruption in the display and things are chopped up. The only thing i managed to do from the bootloader was clear storage.

so some more playing around, and it seems the stock rom is older than the rom thats on the phone. Ive tried to downgrade the bootlooder by using htcs bootloader, but i cant get my device token as it failes with

(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

Currently downloading htc-asia stock rom as hopefully this is not older than whats on the phone, though not being a 3 rom, i dont know if this will instal.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Unless you get a goldcard working it will not install. Can you give me a link to the current 3 ruu you have downloaded and I will try find a more recent one for you :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_131501_signed.exe

Thanks, this is the link. only one i can find. i tried to create a gold card but it seems like you need to be able to mount your sd card in the phone, which is not possible isnce the phone doesnt boot .

....

AFter some more playing around and trying thniigs and reading lots of information, i think ive managed to get adb access, just wiating on the old iwndows machine loading. I selected recovery mode, it buzzed corrupted screen so cant see what it says but on my linux machine, it listed an unknown device with no permissions with adb devices. hopefully if adb recognises it on the windows machine, ill be able to use the goldcard and continue to downgrading the bootload3er
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
Hey good news :) I managed to find a ota update for your phone :) when I get back home, hopefully before 6pm I will send you a link to 2 files. One is the base firmware update. Hopefully your phone will pick it up without any issues and the bootloader will flash and fix the visuals. The other is the full ota, which would need to be flashed via recovery. If we need to do that we can try to do it blind, ie use picks from google of the stock recovery to manually poll the update. If both these fail there is a device called an xtc clip, it makes goldcards and gives full s-off to a number of htc devices. We can give that a bash as a last resort.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
Well all my efforts were a no go. selecting reovery did indeed show up as a device on the windows pc, but device is offline and none of my attempts to get it online and working, worked. no amount of trying different adb versions , restarting device, changing usb ports, only other option is a different usb cable. which ill try.

I dont think recovery is loading properly, as it seems pretty much frozen, nothing on the screen changes when hitting volume buttons, but hard to tell due to screen corruptiion it could just not be updating display, who knows.

Fast book works fine, is it possible to flash the bootloader with flashboot, or will it just do the same as trying to update via a rom.zip and complain of wrong version. or would it brick the device complelty. ive not tried it incase it totally wrecks it.

Ive tried for ages to find a stock three mobile rom that matches whatever version is on my phone, but it seems there isnt one.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
awesome, hopefully this will work as ive been at this all night, and most of today.

Hopefully updating the bootloader will fix it enough and get reocvery working as i dont think recovery is loading properly.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
If memory serves correctly the stock recovery required a button combo to make it change from a blank screen to one with commands on it. It might be volume up, down and power at the same time. I think the screen will flash and possibly vibrate if successful :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
ok here we go :) DOWNLOAD

steps: (using windows)

1. unzip the rar file.

2. take the pc49img.zip and place it onto the root of the sd card.

3. place it back into the phone and boot into the bootloader.

4. the bootloader should hopefully find the zip and ask you if you want to update (volume up)

5. push volume up :P

6. allow for install, once the install is complete the device should hopefully say push power to reboot. if you have no visual at all then after 10 minutes push power and see if it reboots.

7. if successful you should be able to boot into bootloader and have visual.

plan b.

1. take the update.zip and place it onto the root of your sdcard.

2. with the sd card in the phone boot to bootloader again.

3. wait and see if the device asks you to update. if yes follow above, if not then step 4.

4. scroll down and select recovery. 2nd option.

5. push power and v- v+ at the same time, hopefully you will see some visual change.

6. assuming you get some visual change success the push volume down once.

7. push power once, watch to see if the screen changes back to what it was or starts to flicker alot as if running an update. if static move to 7a.

7a. push the trackball instead.

8. assuming the recovery is running the update just wait. the device will eventually stop and probably ask you to reboot. power is probably the button for this, but i am not 100% sure. depends on which one worked earlier.

i have never actually used the stock recovery but the process should be the same as any other, except this one will check for signatures from htc, which the .zips have :) good luck pal, keep me posted.:cool:
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
awesome, thankyou for the help, these files look good so fare, the pc49img is updating now and just about to reboot. update worked, but ive got a blank screen. I'll leave it for 10 minutes then try plan b.

if that doesnt work, ill try and get into recovery and see if adb starts working and try debranding it. Hang on a sec, ive got lights on the softkeys. i think its doing something but still blank screen. softkeys lights went out, still blank screen. im assuming nothing is happening as its still blank
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
the first update is just a firmware update to help the bootloader.i doubt the rom will boot yet. does the bootloader have a steady visual?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
ok plan b didnt work very well, after recovery, the button combination didnt do anything, so i renamed the file to pc49.img but it didnt load the update automaitcall. tryied the recovery again, and the buttom combo gave me a phone with a red triangle and exlcaimation mark, after a few minutes the display changed and i could scroll but the update zip was the wrong name.

so put it back and now cant get into the recovery to go to the red triangle again.

im now trying to do the udpate with fastboot. but it compains

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
the firmware update didnt fix the odd graphics behaviour. i managed to get the recover open again and power plus up down gave me phone graphic with red traingle and explamation mark, with no corrupted graphics, but its not done anything else. nothing seems to respond.

adb shows device, but its offline.

im juist gonna leave it like that for now as i have to nip out.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
fastboot will not work with that one as it is a recovery flashable file.

you need to get the recovery back to the scrollable state if this is going to work.

rename the file to update and try again pal :/ remember that if you get back to that state you can simply pull the sd card out and place it back in after you make the changes to the file. it will wait for you. then run the update. if this fails we are gonna be low on options...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
finaly managed to get recovery menu to come up, and it loaded the zip updated, then said use menu to reboot, this was troublesome, but the phone did reboot, to a blank screen,. pulled battery, and went to go into bootloader again, but i guess the volume button wasnt pressed hard enough, the phone switched on and displayed a graphic of a phone and scrolled it up and down, so i guess it was completing the update.

Rebooted itself twice to a blank screen.

I think somethings wrong with the phone itself, fault in nand? or display?

whats strange though is every now and then instead of a blank screen ive managed to get the normal white screen with HTC, no screen corruption. but it just hangs ethere,and other times white screen with HTC logo thats got lines through it squashed and the bottom is a cooloured noise bar. then most of the time just blank screen.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
At this point it most likely is a hardware fault, but I don't think that its the display. I think that its probably the band, in which case its not worth trying to fix. The only thing that could be left to try would be to use a xtc clip on the phone to remove all the security. Then flash a totally different bootloader version. Just in case this corruption is spreading to everything we flash :-\

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
