If you ordered an external charger I would suggest possibly getting another battery or two. They are cheap and easy enough to swap out when needed. I ran my HTC apache like this for two years and it worked great even with a bum charging port. Good luck to you with your new hero.

So I made a backup using CWM (I am running Paranoid Android 3). If I flash a different ROM, can I use this to restore all of my data? And were are the backup files located? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Use titanium backup to restore apps and app data but do not restore system apps or data.

Your cwm nandroids are stored in /data/media/clockworkmod

So does that restore the internal sd card as well?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
No. The ONLY way to backup your sdcard is to copy it elsewhere. PC USB otg or something. NONE of the backup utilities actually backup your sdcard

hello,

i want to buy a gps receiver, but don't know which one is compatible with my XDA? Can you also tell me if there is a serial from a different make i.e. ipaq that would fit in the XDA?

Do they all work well with Tomtom II?

thanks for your help.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cruisin-thru:
Ipaq gps will not work as it is wired differently, any nmea compliant gps will work with xda, I found the Haicom hi-203e to be a good unit and leads for charging xda and powering gps are available for just about any pda you can mention. Tomtom will work with any nmea compliant gps unit. www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk

Hi everyone, some people could try to take a screenshot with software, but all the software you saw needs root, and you haven't got Root, then if you have Android 4 (Nexus 7 has) or higher you can do this simple trick

1) Prepare the scene you want to shot

2) Press and Hold (VOL -) and (POWER)

An animation will appears with a sound

[General Questions and Answers] amirh1:
Sorry for being such a noob, but I read some guides and still confused.

Here's what I'm trying to do: "wipe data and reflash" was suggested to solve my problem (setup info below). So I want to do this with minimal impact - I need to remove all system data to solve some bluetooth problems, but I want to keep as much of my apps and settings as possible.

So here are a few questions. Feel free to point me to guides instead of answering, that's fine I'm not being lazy just want to get it right (for a change).

I have Safestrap recovery installed - is that in place of Clockworkmod?

Which options from nandroid should I choose to be able to restore just my user data?

Nandroid is asking about ClockworkMod vs TWRP - can someone point me to an explanation?

If I choose ROM Manager's "Recovery Setup" that overrides the current boot slot I have setup with Safestrap?

Should I be using Titanium Backup instead, and just create a new slot and image it with a clean OS?

Again, the point is to clean OS but hopefully be able to keep data and homescreen arrangement, etc. I don't want to do something wrong and lose my current setup, which at least works for most stuff.

Thanks!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
i just bought a BT Headset "Motorola HK250" and its paired fine.

on my Stock S3 i have the home button set "NOT" to open S-Voice.

in S-Voice settings i pretty much have everything un-checked.

when i recieve a phone call when the headset is paired with the phone and i hit the call answer button on the bt headset it opens S-Voice.

I HATE THIS

what i want to see when i hit the call answer button is my phone dialpad so i can see the phone number or name of who i just answered the call from.

i use groove ip pro (so it uses the native dial pad) along with google voice over wifi for all of my phone calls (this shouldnt make a difference)

what would be great is if i hit a button on the bt headset it would tell me who is calling and then a button again to either ignore or answer.

how can i do this?

thanks

btw i searched and searched but im not having any luck on this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wizky911:
It doesn't call the last person you talked to if you hold the button to answer a call? Also just use s voice to dial maybe?

---------- Post added at 06:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 AM ----------

Settings>Accessibility>text-to-speech output check driving mode, it'll tell you who's calling and read your texts

I have an 8gb, and no matter what ROM I use, streaming video freezes. Like YouTube. Has anyone else seen this? Video stops but sound keeps going. Have you found a ROM that doesn't do it?

Thanks

Mostly all the ROMs have this issue. I haven't found one that fixes the problem. Hopefully that is changed soon.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
I have the 16 GB, but I have experienced that "video stops, sound goes on" thing in some ROMs. I haven't had it happen since I installed Succulents 1231 build of CM10 though. http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/cm10-0-jelly-bean-for-nook-tablet-uploading/

I don't play lots of streaming video though, so maybe I've just been lucky, but on the ROMs where I have noticed the problem it has occured very frequently. And with this one not at all...

Edit: I now see that Datallboy uses that same ROM on the 8GB and still has the problem. So I guess the fact that it works on my 16GB is of no help to those with 8GB. :crying:

I never had this issue with Succulent's final CM10.0, but have run into it with some CM10.1 builds, typically when I had not done a clean install (i.e., wiping /data partition) in which cases doing an un-install/re-install of YouTube would fix it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] WhyteDem0n:
Hello thar! I've successfully rooted my SPH-D710 after browsing my phone's forums and coming across a link to an easy-mode, oneclick process from rwilco12 (if you'd like the link to see what I'm talking about, PM me since I'm a new member and unable to post outside links). Now, I'm looking to try to root my girlfriend's SGH-T989 for her (per her request). The process in the aforementioned link couldn't have been easier, as I simply booted my phone into download mode, ran an executable on PC, and clicked a button. However, rwilco12's repository doesn't include files for the SGH-T989. So, I'm basically wondering if such an easy-mode program for this phone exists as well. I tried searching for a few minutes earlier this afternoon, but I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what to search for (since this is only my 1st and now 2nd rooting) to find something similar. So, can anyone point me to the ezmode link, or do I actually have to do something for her phone? XD

[Nokia Lumia 900] aylwyn:
Hi there

Wondering if any of you kind folks can help me understand what is happening on my phone.

I've a new Nokia Lumia 900 which I've had for about 2 weeks. Unfortunately (rather fortunately!) I won it at a Microsoft event, so I can't exactly take it back to a retailer for repair or question.

My phone seems to intermittently crash. Most times it just reboots but occasionally it's just dead and I have hold down the power button to reset. Anecdotally it seems to happen most when I have WiFi turned on, though it does happen occasionally without WiFi on.

I have reset back to factory setting twice and also turned off all background process I can. Of course there are still a few applications that I can't turn off from running in the background.

Despite this, the phone still crashes A LOT with WiFi on (2 to 6 times a day) and occasionally with WiFi off (once every 2 or three days).

Does anyone know what is happening and how I can find a fix?

PS: Both the phone and Zune report that there are no updates applicable.

Cheers.
[Nokia Lumia 900] AndyFZ1S:
Look in settings/about and take note of the Firmware and OS versions and kindly write them down on here, If you have OS ver 8862 then you already have the latest version and need to take your phone to a Nokia Care centre or send for repair as it should not crash at all, If you have a lower ver ie: 8107, 8773 or 8858 then maybe you can force an update through Zune, Which may well fix your issue?
[Nokia Lumia 900] aylwyn:
Tried that...

Thanks for your reply Andy

I did exactly that, checked the OS version, and I discovered that I did NOT have the latest OS version but Zune reported I did.

As a result I contacted Nokia to explain the difference in OS version availability

published on the Australian support site

vs the fact that Zune reports the OS version is up to date. I was told that not all OS versions are available across all Lumia 900 phones and regions! Er... Whatever...

However, the support staff did recognise I'm having an issue and has lodged a ticket with the "appropriate department". Time will tell how response they are.

I guess I either have to wait for the OS update to be made available to have their support technicians contact me back to resolve the issue.

Either way I will update this thread with the results in case anyone else has a similar issue.
[Nokia Lumia 900] AndyFZ1S:
Fingers crossed they get it sorted for you,

However if you do decide to be cheeky there is a way of forcing the update via Zune, As you click update and before it tells you you already have the latest firmware etc you disconnect your lan cable, It is a bit tricky and timing is the key, You may have to try several times etc,

Or as a last resort http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128295

In either case I cannot guarantee it will fix your issue but it could save you from boredom as you await a fix.
[Nokia Lumia 900] aylwyn:
Ha! Yes.... Well I've not heard anything from them yet. Day 2 so I'm not quite bored yet ;)

However, on a positive note the updates came through tonight via Zune without pulling of LAN cables (ED: read hair), so all's good on that front. Time will tell if the updates solve the problem, but it did 3 cumulative updates so I guess there was a bit to do...

Thanks Andy
