[Windows Mobile Software Development] W4XY:
Hi,

Maybe someone here knows a solutions to this one:

When you go to bootloader on the XDA II you can use a serial cable to talk to it. However you can also dock your device in the cradle again and it will allow a USB connection to the bootloader prompt. However, with Windows it will start the wceusbsh.sys driver for active sync. In Linux it loads the generic serial USB driver, which allows you to connect to the bootloader with a terminal program.

Question is: does anyone know how to prevent the wceusbsh.sys driver to load, but instead load the serial usb driver (so you can use hyperterminal for example) OR how you can programmatically talk to the device through the wceusbsh.sys driver without any actuall active sync on the side of the device (that is running the bootloader and presenting a USB> prompt)

If I'm not clear let me know.

Thanks,

(not really sure) but maybe this may help: http://www.lvr.com/usbfaq.htm
[Windows Mobile Software Development] W4XY:
What I tried so far is edit the INF file for the wireless modem with the vendor and equipment IDs for the bootloader mode. Then remove the active sync driver from the Device manager and try to add the INF manually. That doesn't work without the device connected. And once you connect the device it immediately installs the windows driver again.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsme:
ys, that is what I encountered too.

maybe completely remove everything from \windows\inf that has some relation to active sync?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] itsme:
maybe the trick is to set the correct vendor/product id:

My HTC one is due very soon & I am looking for tips and best practice when setting it up for the first time.

For example :

How long should I charge the battery for before first use ?

When transferring data from my old phone to the HTC is it simple to tfr contacts / messages etc accross.

Looking forward to your tips and tricks

Thanks in advance
[One (M7) General] mang0:
You should be able to use the phone right out of the box. Most lithium-ion/polymer batteries ship at around 40% charge. These batteries don't suffer from the "memory effect," so you no longer need to practice full-charge and full-drain cycles, as with nickel-based batteries. You should not be completely draining lithium batteries either, as it will reduce your battery life in the long run.
[One (M7) General] eliz barrymore:
Delete whatsapp, kik or wechat.

The time remaining depends upon how you had used your phone that far. If you keep using your phone excessively that time remaining changes accordingly. It is a forecast. Forecasts change. It isn't a battery meter reader. Only thing you can trust is battery percentage remaining, not time.
[One (M7) General] FUNKIT247:
Hi I don't use kik or webchat but I do use Whatsapp in phases.

Can you elaborate on why I should delete it ?
[One (M7) General] shiningarmor:
the whatsapp that comes with the phone cant be updated. delete it and reinstall
[One (M7) General] FUNKIT247:
Ohhh I see !!!

Will do thanks :good:
[One (M7) General] ant78:
i didnt even know whatsapp came pre installed! I installed whatsapp+ anyway:good:
[One (M7) General] FUNKIT247:
It does say before use the battery should be fully charged so i will give it a charge until the green light comes on.

Hey,

Is it normal that the xperia zl becomes warm/hot at the back near the camera?

It happens if I use it for too long like using the web....
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Yep, had it happen to me a few times. Nothing to worry about though. If I am not wrong its an issue with all Snapdragon S4 Pros
[Sony Xperia ZL] nX3NTY:
Yup it's normal, quad core CPU running at 1.5GHz with great GPU for sure it develops some sort of heat. I just hope someone will release kernel with voltage control to reduce the amount of heat it develops
[Sony Xperia ZL] XenithV:
Its normal. This apply to to all smartphones.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Yeah that's normal. It used to heat up a lot initially (first few days) even while browsing album app or viewing videos. But now, after about 2 weeks of usage, it doesn't heat up that much, not even while web browsing via WiFi (using dolphin).

Yeah mine also gets warm when just using the phone (browsing, social networks, etc), but it gets quite hot if playing games or watching 1080p videos.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Unrenowned:
Heating up too

I also noticed mine getting warm during the following: my son playing Plants vs. Zombies (something about the last few updates have made it very resource intensive), playing NFS Most Wanted (again, graphically intense), during charging, and running the GPS Navigation for more than an hour. Luckily I have a generic ventilation grip that allows the cool air to flow over the phone...

Hello,

Is there any way to backup my desktop + widgets + maps?

I'm testing several roms atm andere try them for daily use som thuis would be very useful

Thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
U mean backing up your homescreen arrangement?

If ur using a custom launcher like Apex/Nova, you can find backup and restore function in the app's settings.

I don't think Touchwiz launcher has this feature. Maybe try backing up with Titanium Backup and then restoring..:confused:

As for Maps, u mean offline cache? You can do that with TB I suppose...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctusch:
Hey,

I've created a backup with this command:

./adb backup -f fullbackup_2013-03-28.ab -apk -shared -all -system

The resulting file was 11 GB which was expected. After this I unlocked my bootloader. Restoring the backup hung two times. FIrst at com.android.chrome then at com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox. These two were also mentioned in Android issue report #34311 (sorry can't post link, I'm under 10 posts). Both times I rebooted my phone and restarted the restore. The third restore went through.

Now my problem is I'm missing a lot of data. My storage is only at 6 GB, that's at least 5 GB missing. My music folder for example was only partially restored. How can this be? Is there anything I can do?

I'm running 4.2.2 stock. My adb version is 1.0.31.

Update: I've now extracted the backup and I can say for sure that there are files in there that don't get restored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctusch:
Has nobody else experienced such a behavior?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naien:
AW: [Q] adb restore doesn't restore everything

yes i have done that with my nexus 7.. it seemed to restored my file structure but when i tried to open files nothing would happen... u really cant rely on that thing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
It's safer to use adb pull and adb push to backup and restore the sdcard, and only use adb backup for user apps and data. Also, it's not generally a good idea to backup and restore system apps and data. So -noshared and -nosystem for adb backup, and pull and push for the sdcard might work better. As for the data you already backed up, maybe Titanium Backup would help. I understand it can access adb .ab files, though I haven't used it for that myself.

Hello all,

I've been waiting for my provider to release stock 4.1.2 but they are taking too much time...

Would you know which rom should I install to get the stock 4.1.2 and will I keep all my settings and apps ?

Also, does it have multiview and all the good stuff from the S3 ?

Lastly, I'm running stock 4.0.4 and emmc bug check says "sane chip".

Is there anything to know before upgrading to 4.1.2 ? Any trap or must know ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
So many questions! A simple search on XDA could answer them all..

You can flash any stock firmware that your device (and carrier, if any) supports.

You may or may not lose your apps and settings after flashing a new ROM (depends). But it is advised to factory reset (wipe data) when switching from ICS to JB. You can always backup and restore, right? :)

Since ur on 4.0.4, do not perform factory reset before flashing JB. To wipe data while on 4.0.4, always switch to a custom (safe) kernel. There is no risk while flashing via Odin though. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megosu:
Rooted and I have a EFS backup too.

I think I know how to flash: DL mode + Odin.

I'm just extra cautious as the only time I tried to flash a rom, I didn't know about the brick bug and went straight into it...

Now my phone has been replaced and the chip is "sane" so it should be safe to factory reset.

I'll do a nandroid backup and a titanium backup but I would like not to wipe.

You can flash any stock firmware that your device (and carrier, if any) supports.

--> they haven't released it yet... How can I tell ?

What are the benefits to run a stock rom ? It is more stable ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
What is it with odin. Flash through cwm. Stock is good but if your wanting more then go with multi window. Alliance is very good. Don't go with stock. These m/w come in stock form too. I like the look of stock why I choose alliance but it also has the aokp bit too so best of both worlds. Then there's rom customizer. Great app that works brill with the rom.

CR's purpose is to bring a stock experience with some performance tweaks and debloat. If you want to customize it any further, you'll have to do your own reading and research to figure out what works.

Venom's purpose is to bring a stock experience with performance and visual tweaks (Hence the need for Venom Tweaks and Venom Hub). If you're lazy to find visual tweaks on the forum, stick with Venom. It'll save you from asking redundant questions.

I personally use Venom at the moment because CR6 isn't playing nice with my HOX. Used CR for a year when it was ICS though.
