[General Questions and Answers] S1lent Echoes:
Well, after thinking about it more I realized that the problem seems to be that for some reason or other the system isn't registering the device getting charged, even though the battery indicator says it is charged (90%, 98%, or whatever). The reason it got progressively worse (first starting at @50%, then at 80% and so on) was because even though the battery was getting charged the system was being told that it hadn't. That is why eventually it would power down almost as soon as it turned on, just like it would if the battery were completely dead. The reason I know that is not completely dead and not the battery indicator that is in error is because I could boot into recovery mode and stay in that for well over an hour, despite the fact even that the device will not boot into recovery mode if it is <30% or whatever.

So, I guess the best question would be.......what part of the system communicates between it and the battery? The part that says "no/low power so shut down"?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff243:
Anyone tried this rom: https://sites.google.com/site/dgbbravo/

Roughly how many apps can be installed on data using the 65mb hboot? (without using sd-ext)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
If you don't use any a2sd script, fairly few. The dalvik cache will be filling up the internal memory fast.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff243:
What if i use a2sd but with n, n, y ?

Would that keep the dalvik on internal (making it faster), but move apks to sd-ext?

Would i then be able to install a decent number of apps (say 50) even though the dalvik is on internal?

Or is there a different script for this purpose?

THanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Dalvik on internal doesn't make a performance difference. Data on internal does.

http://db.tt/m4sQLDOI

Install this zip from recovery. It moves dalvik and data/app to sd-ext. It will be enough for about 100 apps, without affecting performance at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff243:
Cool thanks bro for the info & zip!

Why is it that it doesn't affect performance though? Is it to do with read speeds of sd cards being so fast that it doesn't matter?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Because dalvik cache isn't as frequently accessed as data, so it doesn't need great sd-card speeds to be fast.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I had about 200 apps on there with no issue, however it's been a while since I used it so obviously modern apps are bigger.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Oh hey rootSU. Haven't seen you in a while in this section.

How does it feel to see that people still use your rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's amazing. I can't believe people are still finding it! I just thought I'd randomly google it today and found this thread so then I checked out the host stats just now out of curiosity. Over 1500 downloads in the last 3 months! Yeah it makes me feel pretty special actually. I certainly see dGB as an achievment

hello there sir :) i love a lot your rom ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227419) but do you have any app2sd method for it? is this working? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ngseioig6t2m3ns/apps_dalvik2ext-UNSIGNED.zip or can anyone tell me a good app 2 sd script?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Try what [MENTION=4346614]abaaaabbbb63[/MENTION] posted to move Dalvik Cache to SD if you need to. Any decent a2sd+ script should work too. I don't have a known working one to hand.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcris45:
S2e and app2sd script dose not work I will try others and the method above
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
S2e only works with cyanogen based roms.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
The script that came with Gingervillain works. And with redux. Oxygen...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dethrat:
Out of curiosity is there much of a difference between this an oxygen?

[HTC One V] Deontologist:
If I flashed my HTC One V to Page Plus, can I convert it back to Virgin Mobile?
[HTC One V] pa1n21:
Yes. Find the correct ruu/rom for your device and flash it.
[HTC One V] Deontologist:
I've tried this numerous times before but the programming settings are retained. I can dial a number using any ROM and my phone will connect to the Page Plus (Verizon) network. I have actually found the original RUU and flashed that - no cigar.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PhoenixFx:
A friend of mine has a white Galaxy S3 and wants to change it to red. What is the cheapest, easiest and the most professional looking way to do it (except putting it in a red case;)) ?

Back cover is obviously is not an issue, the sides don’t matter either. What I’m interested is the front.

I have thought about changing the glass panel, but the procedure is risky and I might end up damaging a perfectly working phone and void the warranty at the same time.

Other option is to change the whole LCD assembly, but that is too expensive (IMO cheaper to sell the white one on eBay and get a new red one).

Then I looked at some of the skin options, but they look really bad, especially the cutouts for menu and back buttons.

Now I’m thinking of slapping on a red S3 glass panel on top of the existing white one. Haven't thought about what glue to use n all, but I think I can figure something out. My main concerns are : would that work? would it affect the touch responsiveness and screen quality?

Since glass screen protectors work fine, I’m guessing adding another glass screen (albeit a bit thicker than those screen protectors) should work too, right ? I’m also a little concerned about how it would look because of the added thickness. Has anyone done this before?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
I got mine from china. it's a screen protector that has a red color. if you want to, check the qi wireless stickied thread to see what kind of red mine is. but it's a simple red screen protector.

I believe there is a brand called Mercury that has it in red, but it doesn't extend completely to the edges. there's a 2mm gap i think.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PhoenixFx:
[MENTION=1414087]tengtengvn[/MENTION] whats there to face palm ? You have heard of glass screen protectors right ? Putting on a new glass panel shouldn't be much different. I'm asking because I see it as a viable option :eek:. Any obvious reason why it shouldn't work ??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PhoenixFx:
Thanks, thats the best looking skin/screen protector I've seen so far.But there are few issues with it: The Mercury logo, cutout for proximity sensor seems little too big (would've been better if they had two separate circles instead of one oval cutout). And the red is little too bright. But I'll keep an eye out and see if I can find better photos of it. This might be a better option
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
unfortunately, you'll be very hard pressed to find an exact liking. I would use www.aliexpress.com for stuff that is found in china. the downside is that it'll take a long time to arrive (2 weeks or something).

You would also need someone who can read mandarin to understand what some of their pictures say.

I had someone here who was very extremely fantastic and nice who helped procure the skins for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
A shot in the dark here but I need some assistance regarding the reversal of flashing the Epic 4G to Virgin Mobile, and then back to Sprint. I have done pretty much everything I researched, from resetting settings via ##72786# and ##786#, even Odin'd the stock FC09 and selecting Phone EFS Clear, and everything seems to have reset. But the values of the DEC/HEX number are different on both the battery sticker, and under About Phone.

Is this normal? I've attempted this because I was hoping to sell my Epic 4G and the guy who purchased it said it wasn't activating for him. When I got it back I noticed that the values from the Virgin Mobile flash were still programmed under About Phone. So after resetting everything, the values seem to be back to the normal and doesn't display the Virgin Mobile values, but the DEC/HEX numbers differ from each other on the sticker and under About Phone.

Was just curious if the DEC/HEX number that are being displayed under About Phone are the correct, or incorrect. I checked with Sprint via chat support and asked them to check for me if the ESN is clean, and apparently the DEC/ESN number that is listed under About Phone is clear and ready to activate, but the DEC/ESN number located on the battery sticker is not clear. If I were to sell the phone, would the buyer be able to activate it on Sprint if they gave Sprint the DEC/ESN number listed under About Phone? Would they have any problems?

Hope somebody can help me, as I'm really confused by this. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UPdownLoAD:
The ESN on the sticker needs to match the ESN showing on About Phone. If the ESN on the sticker is bad, it's not going to activate on Sprint.
[General Questions and Answers] braindia:
I bought a chinese phone Telsda/TSD A198 . The firmware reports it as an MT6589 CPU but the computer reports it as a spreadtrum phone. I need to root the phone to get rid of some apps on this to make space. Also without rooting is there anyway to backup the stock rom on my phone before I mess up to root? I have seen a method on XDA but that requires root. Now I am trying to backup to get to rooot !!!! Also I have also researched researchdownload but without a ROM backup and not knowing which CPU model to flash its impossible to it right. I also looked into mtkdroidtools and it tells me "unstructured rom backup not possible" , so I am guessing its a fake MTK CPU that is being reported by tweaking the firmware.

This is the link to the phone

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...3-MTK6589-4-0-INCH-smart-phone/879312434.html

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Villis1251:
I also interesting for this phone, but I have some doubt about the specs of this item. If you could clear some important properties for me, such as:

Does it have GPS functionality?

If not, this indirectly indicates that CPU is not MTK-based (likely Spreadtrum SC6820 if 3G functionality is absent or Spreadtrum SC8810 if it is present)

What is the real width of the phone?

It seems to me it is about 64mm, not 60.8 (as described in seller specs)

What is the RAM size?

Does it have 256 or 512MB RAM?

What is the real Andriod version?

Does it have Android 2.3.X disguised as Android 4.X.X?

I will be grateful for your response.
[General Questions and Answers] braindia:
Ok, first my honest suggestion dont buy this phone it has pathetic performance. For the same price go for a real MTK6577 dual core. ANyways below are the answers to your question

> Real CPU frequence seems to be 1GHZ

>Mali 300 GPU

>no 3G

>no GPS

>256MB RAM and 256 MB ROM

>I am not sure if its real JB and I cant figure it out but it says JB 4.2.1 and the kernel is 2.6.35.7 and hence I guess its a fake JB. The funny part is under baseband version it says "MT6589 1.5GHZ quad cores" !!!! offcourse it means the firmware/build.prop has been tweaked and is reporting false values. Also when I ran Antutu it gives a score of about 3500 which is useless when compared to what is required to run games ..etc. I hope I have helped.

custom recovery

Finally I was able to stitch a ROM, using bits and pieces from different sources and its perfectly working. I only need to build a CWM recovery image based on the recovery image I have attached.

ok looks like lot of people have issues with this phone. Its a junk phone, all fake stuff on it. ANyways I will upload the firmware images and then you guys can use those to flash on your phones. Below is what I have done

1> Patched a 4.0.4 ROM which works perfectly

2>Removed useless preinstalled apps

3>rooted

4>Perfectly working dual sim,GPRS,WIFI,Camera,Camcorder .,..etc etc

4>The issue is with the IMEI, because of the way its stored you guys will need to use your own NV files.

The only thing I havent been able to do is get a working CWM, but you dont need it as you can flash the firmware images using researchdownload.
[General Questions and Answers] aspirus:
Braindia, you even pierced smartphone using researchdownload? Maybe I need a USB driver or researchdownload? What have you used? I can't understand how to enable the firmware on this phone: food & + -test menu; food & - picture with your phone and the triangle, but windows does not find the device driver.
[General Questions and Answers] braindia:
working firmware files

Here you go, you flash at your own risk. If there are bricks/issues you are responsible for your own device.(Standard disclaimer) . I have uploaded all the files except system and NV, system image is kind of big and I am trying to figure it out where to upload it.. You dont need to worry about NV unless you completely erased the flash(never erase the complete flash or format it). If you havent done so then you are good to go.

Please google to find researchdownload and use it to flash the attached files. I wont be able to write the tutorial on using researchdownload so google is your friend.

I have also uploaded the gapps zip which will get you up and running with google play store. You need root to copy these files directly into system/apps folder.

I will be able to upload a system file which works, not the patched one with google play store, root ...etc etc . You do that on your own, I will help you do it.

Thanks !
[General Questions and Answers] aspirus:
Tutorial researchdownload not needed. I installed the USB driver and researchdownload. When the phone is loaded, I can connect it to your computer . BUT when I try to flash the phone with the help of researchdownload I need to enable firmware on your phone. In the mode of firmware (if I understand it correctly) phone is not detected by Windows. I wanted to know what USB drivers and version researchdownload used you, and as included mode firmware on your phone.

I have the original firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] braindia:
your phone is probably not detected due to 2 reasons

1> windows disabling non signed driver.. if thats the issue while you start the PC keep hitting F8 you will be shown various options

Select disable windows driver signature enforcement

2> Second reason is you need to add an entry in adb_usb.ini file I think its 0x1782 which is for SPRD enumerator. There are tons of links for this one of which is

Possible causes checked. NO 1 and NO 2 Everything correctly, but still not working.To go the other way, I've tried about 10 of options to get the root, but the result is zero. :(You got root?
[General Questions and Answers] braindia:
getting root is simple, flash a CWM I have attached one, please note this does not work but it works enough to get you root. follow the below steps

1> Flash attached recovery

2> boot into recovery ... this will not show the normal CWM options but dont worry just connect to your pc

3> run ADB shell, you will be automatically in root mode

4> perform mount /system and then exit shell

5> push su binary & busybox directly to /system/bin (from the command prompt using adb push)

6>change permissions for su & busybox to make them runnable

7> exit from the shell and reboot

8> do adb install superuser.apk(optional this can be done later)

thats it you have su, and then you can sideload the superuser apk or you can do step 8 as above. Once you have rebooted and verified that you indeed have superuser you can flash the stock recovery back on the phone.

Note note note : The CWM recovery image is only for you to get root and it doesnt work and doesnt show the normal CWM options... you have been warned. You should flash your old recovery/stock recovery after you have achieved root.

Also can you give me the stock recovery image so that I can build a working CWM out of it. I overwrote mine and now stuck with another recovery which works but is not for this phone.

Thanks

Lately my phone just works very fine, until I decided to try TWRP on my SU760. It worked fine.

Then I decided to reflash it to stock ICS for SU760 using SmartFlash Tool. All I use was the ap.bin file and I make sure that I didn't check the " Erase entire CP "

After reboot, my IMEI suddenly gone, instead of zero's 0000000000, it says " null ".

So i decided to go back to V10G and recover my IMEI, BUT tutty could not access it. Every time I select CP Image Download in Port Settings, The port for my phone in device manager is gone so I have no ports to select in tutty.

Do I have to install the USB Flash Loader utility.?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
i dont know but since activesync is made for normal pda's and not spc for phone pda's i'm not too sure that they incorprated it in activesyncs functions

of cause since that the pda can get access to the network using activesync then i suppose that people could make a program which had a socket the pda connected to that and transfered the sounds as data and such

but somebody need to make such a program and i've yet to see a high demand for it

and as with soo much other things in this world without a demand chances of somebody makes it are less

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] penicilllin:
I don't think that Microsoft bluetooth stack supports Audio Gateway Profile nor does it support Headset or Handsfree...

that means that you CAN'T use your pc as a headset
