[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibdin:
Has anyone who has had handcent installed on their Z experienced that more often than not it keeps force closing? Is this more likely to be down to the app itself and not the device?

I have used handcent with all my other android phones and have never encountered this issue on such a regular basis.

Many thanks..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd66:
I use Handcent every day, and no FC at all, sorry :eek:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
do you have stamina mode on and did you white list handcent?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibdin:
I don't have stamina mode on. More often than not it force closes when I go into handcent settings to make some adjustments and kicks me out.

Very frustrating, as I use no other messaging app but handcent.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddoguk:
I know it's a silly question but have you uninstalled & re-installed it? Any difference?

I use it without problem. Only app I have issues with is CoPilot - it does not like the screen resolution.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Go to application manager and clear cache. It may help
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudstuff:
I use handcent too and have had no FC's. I use stamina mode but have not white listed it...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibdin:
Excuse my ignorance, but where do I find application manager?

Maddoguk,

Yes, have uninstalled handcent twice but still the issue remains.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
settings -> apps
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibdin:
Is it application settings that I'm looking for as opposed to application manager, as I can't find that? If so, cache is greyed out so won't let me clear it
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefanve:
maybe you have to stop it first? you are at the right location.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibdin:
Have tried but still getting force close.

Thanks for your help, it's appreciated.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Is the clear data buttong greyed out?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibdin:
Yes it is.

Does anyone know why sometimes when I come back to my phone, the backlight is on, but the screen is dark;ie displaying black pixels and therefore draining my battery. I haven't isolated possible reasons, but missed calls might be one. Highly annoying.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:
no suggestion ? :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Google something like "android open browser from shell". You can do it using intents.

Also:

ping --help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:

am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity http://www.google.fr

lol now i really need help coz i found nothing :(

i want to know which ip is reachable from 192.168.1.(1 to 9)

in a script to automate that and give me wish is reachable for use it in a command to browser.

(i know ping from terminal emulator but it's not what i am looking for)

forgive my english i hope you understand what i want ant hope too u help me with this :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
That's easy, check:

for var in {1..9}
do
echo "Looking for 192.168.1.$var..." #optional... jejeje
if ping 192.168.1.$var -c 1 > /dev/null
then
#Reachable, put here your command
else
#Unreachable, you can show an error here
fi
done
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:
but ping command is not reconized by script manager i can only do it with terminal emulator ....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Really? I didn't know that (weird, BTW). Check if you need to use another command with Script Manager, or if you need to add something.

I dunno another way to achieve your goal... only using ping :rolleyes:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:
lol i have a headeach with this and find nothing :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:
finally i have possibility to run ping you must just in option of script manager chek "override $PATH"

after 2 or 3 aspirin this work for me

#!/system/bin/sh

for i in $(seq 2 10);

do

host="192.168.1.$i"

ping -c 1 -W 1 $host > /dev/null &&

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:
please if u are guru of busybox your help is needed to use if else and fi in a script.

must i download another version of busybox or add a command ????

i am fully rooted the path in script manager is good

edit = after trying and googleing

after if you must put [[your code without space before and after]] and after then (yourcode) :laugh:

hope i find the rest...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Are you sure? Because if you have created the script in windows, you have that EOL formatting (whatever that means :silly:). Try this:

Open Terminal Emulator, and type

echo "hello there" > /sdcard/newScript.sh

This will create a new and clean script in your SD Card.

Then, go to Script Manager, and edit that script. You can start deleting the text ("hello there") and adding this:

testvar=1
if [ "$testvar" = "1" ] ; then
echo "All is right"
fi

Ok, run the script. If you can see the text "All is right", that's it, problem solved :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kondronaute:
you save my last neuron :D

thanks

edit =

my fault is i create a text file under windows (easier and can copy and past easily) after i put the file on my phone and copy past the code in a new script.

i not think that when i just copy past i past the EOL formatting ( i dont know what is that but its a bad thing :D :D :D)

that's mean i must abandon windows and migrate totally to linux :D

anyway that make me crazy and i am happy to sort it.

you are very helpfull many thanks again

new edit = i understand now why they say notepad++ is necessary :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Ginther:
I apologize in advance if this has been discussed in the past, but my searching here hasn't helped so I gotta ask for help. :confused:

Having a problem with me wife's HTC Vivid. It's bone stock. Nothing has been messed with other than whatever updates may have been installed automatically over the air. She wouldn't let me touch it to root it, mod it, nothing.....

Anyway. Problem happened Saturday night. Phone shut down due to dead battery. Put it on charger overnight. Tried to boot it up Sunday morning and it stops at the white HTC screen. Period. Just sits there. Forever.

I did some reading, learned how to hold power and vol down buttons to get to HBOOT. Tried navigating to recovery. It goes to white HTC screen, then to a black screen with a green circle arrow icon, then to a red triangle with an exclamation point.

I downloaded drivers and the HTC RUU and was going to try fastboot usb, but when it said all data will be lost I stopped.

My wife has tons of pics and stuff on her phone (that she has failed to back up :( ) and really doesn't want to loose them.

Before I wipe the phone and try to reinstall the stock rom do any of you have any suggestions on a way to get it back up and running and recover her pics and stuff?

Or are we screwed? :crying:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yosoywilson78:
You get the red triangle/exclamation point because you dont have a custom recovery installed if Im correct. Using the all in one here is the most user friendly way of installing -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1498003

Install twrp and you should be able to recover your pics/vids by selecting "mount/mount sdcard" in the twrp ui with your phone plugged in to your pc. Then opening the storage located under computer. Navigating to the appropriate folder & cut/pastting to a folder on your pc.

I dont know how technology savvy you are but it sounds like flashing the stock kernel will repair your phone hanging on the htc logo. This is the stock ICS kernel - http://d-h.st/rHX

You can flash it through the all in one. Or follow up here -

Hope this helps. Good luck!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Ginther:
Thanks for the help. I was able to get the bootloder unlocked with the all-in-one but when I tried to install the kernel it kept failing. I tried several different things over and over again but no luck.

I finally got frustrated and tried the HTC RUU from their website to see what would happen. I had to relock the bootloader before it would work though. It finally ran successfully and the phone is back up and running now.

Only bad news is that I wasn't able to recover any of her files. :(

Now she understands the importance of backing up files and getting stuff OFF the phone to another form of long term storage. :good:

Thanks again for the help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yosoywilson78:
You probably could have recovered your media. Just by mounting the internal memory like I said in my original post. You really should invest in an SD card that way no matter what happens your stuff is accessible. You can use up to 32GB. People also say 64GB SDXC cards work too. But glad its up and running again.

HTC VIVID ICS 4.0.4 SENSE 4.1
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Ginther:
I got into CWM recovery and tried mounting the sdcard but kept getting "error mounting sdcard"

No mater what I did I could not get it to mount and become visible on my pc. I could see the disk drive(s) for the phone, but they were shaded and when I'd try to access them it would say insert disk into drive. When using the all-in-one it would try to push the kernel to the phone, but it got errors too. I tried putting the kernel on a micro sdcard and installing it from cwm with no luck. Couldn't get that to show/mount/work either.

I've done modding to my Samsung phones and build my own pc's so I'm not too technologically challenged.... but, Something was just wrong with this phone and it didn't want to cooperate. :(

And/or I didn't have the time and patience to keep jacking with it. :eek:

I am currently working on a rom for the Galaxy Note 2. I ran into a problem and thought that I might find some help here, I have created a themed framework-res.apk however when I combine it into the rom zip file and flash it it does not boot. For it to boot I need to first flash the rom (without the themed framework), boot, then flash the themed framework. The themed framework-res is from a different base of the rom so it might be the cause of this. I can redo the theming on the original framework from the rom but I made a lot of xml changes and would not like to redo those. Is there a way I can combine it into the rom zip file and make it work ?

Thanks

Edit : Managed to solve by moving the xml and png files to the original framework from the rom :)

I recently flashed one of the many 4.2.2 custom roms available - the vanilla rootbox one and while i was very impressed by the rom overall I found the speaker output of a lot poorer quality than the official samsung roms.

It wasn't a volume issue, it was the actual quality. It was a lot tinnier without any really guts or definition to it, which I think it one of the great points of the Note 2, the speaker quality.

Having flashed back to stock I could hear the difference immediately.

Am curious as to whether the speaker quality suffers on all the custom 4.2.2 roms or if it was just that one in particular.

Would be grateful for any feedback or opinions.

Hello folks,

I have a QTEK 1010 bought from Dubai in October 2003.

Model PW10A1

ROM version 3.16.52 ENG

ROM Date 03/10/03

Radio version 3.19.01

Protocol version 32S54

The device works well but periodically goes off (PDA and cell phone) and pressing the power button at this point soft resets it. I have tried removing add on software (D9 dialer and SMS name utility), soft resetting and hard resetting.

A hard reset seemed to solve the problem - until I synched with Outlook again - but then maybe I did not wait long enough since even after synching and software being loaded, it does fine for hours at a stretch. It is my impression that an incoming or missed call causes it to do that but since it happens inconsistently, I cannot tell.

My questions: -

Is this more likely to be solved by a ROM upgrade or a Radio upgrade? Or is this likely to be a hardware issue? A friend and I bought two devices together but his ROM and radio versions are higher numbers. He does not have this problem but then his cellular provider is different.

Batter life

So now that i understand that the cell by is nothing to worry about, but because its a software issue the batter% shows it drains rapidly. What do we do when it says we only have 10% left? charge it? because that would be daily, or will it keep running?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
There's a big difference between determining what programs are using a certain percentage of the battery (it's based on CPU time and network use), and how much total battery has been used (based on voltages). I would say the total battery percentage left is mostly accurate, but it's not quite (see attached screenshot) (at least it could be tweaked a bit). But I still recommend you to charge it at 10% to ensure future battery capacity. If you drain it too much, it will wear down -- in the screenshot, I had accidentally left it on for a week.

Galaxy 5.8 information

Howdy, I'm a long time lurker on the forums; have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T) from several years ago and recently nabbed a new gadget on a business trip to Korea. I got a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8 for $220 and thought it should be relatively simple to root. I was wrong.

Can we add information about the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8?

Model: YP-GP1

Android: 4.0.4

Kernel: 3.0.8-1168015 se.infra@SEP-69 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 7 20:57:12 KST 2012

Build#: IMM76D.GP1KRALL1

FM Radio: Works in Korea; not so much anywhere else. It finds stations during search but only plays static. (Tried Spirit UL its not happy either. It reports that it cannot access the FM tuner. Maybe it needs root?)

TV Tuner: Same as the FM Radio // Frequency differences?

Storage: 16 GB (expandable with sdcard slot)

Screen: 960 px x 540 px / Capacitive / Multi-touch

Network: 802.11g,b,n

GPS

Bluetooth (can't tell what version, the manual is Korean; I assume its BT3.0)

Battery life is good, runs for a few days on a single charge with power saving enabled.

Haven't used it for any really fun stuff as I can't seem to get root on it. All the ICS 4.0.4 rooting methods on this site have failed.

Going to look at the kernel source from Samsung and see if I can make heads or tails of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
There's not really anything about the 5.8 so I don't think I will add something for it as of right now. As of spirit, you need to be rooted in order to use it. As for t-dmb, (tv) you can only use it in South Korea (exclusive technology).
