[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clive_j:
When I plug my MDA Pro into my PC it draws 460mA of current at 4.75V and the orange charging light always comes on.

I have bought a car charger - when the MDA Pro is plugged into that it also draws 460mA at 5.04V but the Pro doesn't always seem to realise it is being charged - the orange charging light doesn't come on and the backlight switches off so I cant see the SatNav! (when the light goes off the current goes down to 430mA)

The charger was bought of eBay from shop4hardware/PCglobe for £9.99 and it looks well made.

Any ideas what is going wrong? Has anyone got a 12V charger they are happy with - if so where did it come from and how much??

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rabangus:
I bought a car charger off eBay, and while the orange light does come on and stay on, it doesn't seem to charge very effectively. If i'm using something like TomTom the charger manages to keep the battery charge level just about constant, rather than building up charge.

Is this a problem with the Universal? I had a Blue Angel before the Universal, and the car charger I had for that was very effective.

I had this problem too and solved it by purchasing an "orange" (UK mobile phone operator) branded charger for 10 quid from one of their shops. I have no issues now.

What i did notice when I had the problem was by ensuring the xda was off prior to plugging in the old charger, it would continue to stay orange when turned on. I think this problem is a common one with the usb cable & car charger adaptors combo.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
i bought one from expansys, what i noticed:

1. It takes a lot of jiggling, pushing, pulling and twisting to get it recognised by the device (organge light on)

2. When it charges, it does so slowly, i think about 1% per 10 minutes or so, or about 10% per hour.

My two bobs worth anyway.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Noony:
Many of the mini USB car chargers are simply not powerful enough to charge these devices. They all have the same voltage but the amps are different. I read somewhere that good M5000 car chargers should be rated at 1amp, I'm not sure about this but I've certainly had trouble with ones at around 600mah.

With the under powered chargers you often have to plug them in while the device is switched off. Even then it's not going to charge as well or as quickly. Getting them to start charging without turning you device off is just down to luck and patience.

My advice is to look for chargers that are specific for the M5000 etc. If it also mentions Motorola phones etc, then it's not going to have the required power output.

I hope this helps...

I bought an ORA one from a service station (phone bitz type shop), it was a bit expensive but I needed one in a hurry and you can test them in the store.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JRH:
as per my earlier post - m5000 is orange branded htc universal, aka o2 xda exec. I believe mine stated it was for the spv500 and it still worked fine...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ice_coffee:
The universal wants a 2 amp charger really. the 0.5 amp from most chargers including USB ports just is not enough to do much more than stop your battery draining whilst your universal is in use !! other useful alternatives include the charger meant for the newish blackberry
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] clive_j:
Thanks for all the comments.

The charger that comes with the Pro is rated at 1A however I believe the USB spec only allows up to 500mA to be drawn (as I orginally posted it draws just below that) and I have never had a problem with charging via USB. Hence my confusion!

Is the charging software controlled and might there may be a bug which manifests itself under circumstances?

The Brodit active holder charges the universal first time everytime, and is a very good place to store the phone on the move. I've got a 3.5mm input on my car stereo and use my phone as my in car music source. If I could get a 3.5mm 4 pole to 3.5mm stereo plug and breakout mic it would be perfect since I could use it as decent handsfree solution, voice command can still use the built in mic when the stereo connection is inserted but the phone app doesn't.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Noony:
The Brodit holders are nice. I prefer the unpowered version, so I use a separate charger cable. But I agree good holders.

I have a NOOK tablet 16GB that is somehow locked from modifying partitions

I have tried

the repart image , which has worked many times for me in the past

the AdamOutler Ubuntu Disk

formatting / wiping options in various versions of CWM and TWRP

fastboot erases

fastboot formats

dd'ing /zero to various partitions

parted

sgdisk

a zillion scripts

something at a low level is preventing modifications to the partitions

Im wasting far too much time on this , but I hate being beat (-:

I have a backup of rom and factory , and dd images of stock parttions so I am 100% comfortable with something that

will COMPLETELY ZAP the device

if I boot a known good CM10 image from SD card, it fails to boot , I was assuming if I could get a running android from the card, I'd have access to lots of tools... , but it just fails to tun CM10

any help appreciated.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sagirfahmid3:
To completely zap the device, erase the partition table. That will leave you one, giant, unallocated space.

From there, you need to recreate all partitions from scratch.

You will not be able to boot without a bootable CWM SD, so have that handy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
Thanks for responding, Yes, I have tried multiple ways to to zap the table and it doesnt stick.

sgdisk -Z, sgdisk -z parted,

no matter what I do the partitions remain untouched.

I reboot and it still boots into an old stock OS that has a FC shortly after startup, and the internal recovery (factory) , which I can not overwrite, gives the please restart and try again message.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikeataol:
hmm,

I WAS able to get a CM7 SD card image to boot and run

That will for sure give you an empty partition table. You probably forgot to write the changes before exiting.

[Xperia Z General] Techpenguin5:
As you all probably already know there is some serious lag regarding the drop down shade in pretty much every ROM. Over clocking the ROM or boosting your performance doesn't solve the lag. So after all these attempts I nearly gave up but have found a way to minimize the intensity of the drop down shade lag. Its a very simple fix in oder to do it you need a ROM that supports the cyanogen mod theme changer I recommend liquid smooth ROM. All you need to do is download the HTC one theme by thomassfaca from the play store true this isn't a proper fix and will take away from the stock experience of the ROM but i think its better than dealing with the terrible lag that KitKat has brought with the drop down shade

Here is the link to the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.htcsense

Hope this helps it has seemed to work for me if u don't want the HTC theme try another one but beware some make the lag worse this is the best I've found so far
[Xperia Z General] Techpenguin5:
And with xposed framework you may download a module to enable custom transitions or If u r using liquid smooth this feature is built in. Using custom transitions will further remove ui lag
[Xperia Z General] indycar:
i never had any lag with dropdown.
[Xperia Z General] Hellscythe:
i noticed this too

i had CM10.2 on my htc incredible S with the laggy dropdown notification

then i applied an xperia theme and it went a lot smoother lol

magic.
[Xperia Z General] Techpenguin5:
Yup that works well too :) but try gem cm11 theme it looks fantastic and as far as I can see it eliminates lag

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phuzion420:
Hello all. I'm using an M919 still running on the stock 4.2.2. I was wondering if there was a way to have the picture for the contact for incoming and outgoing calls to display at full screen like the image that I attached. On calls, the picture of the contact is not at full screen. Is there a way to change this? Again, I'm running stock 4.2.2 still.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Have you replaced the contact images? The way I do it is I back up all my contact images and then restore them whenever I change ROMs or phones.. Google saves contact images very poorly and rescaled, that's why they don't show full screen when they are restored from your account
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phuzion420:
That worked! Thanks. Is there an easier way to upscale the default pictures without having to set new photos for each of my contacts? It looks like by default, the contacts is using facebook profile pictures.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
You can use an app that will sync your contacts picture to Facebook, they didn't work very well last time I used them, but that was a while back, might be better now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] phuzion420:
Thanks. I'll look into the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
There's also an app called Full SCreen Caller ID.

It does exactly what it sounds like. It makes you caller ID the FULL screen. Every pixel. Not just the part above the dialer.

Workrs like a charm. No root required. There's a free version you can use to try it out and see if it's for you.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androminigsm.fscifree

There are all kinds of options as well for how to answer the phone and how the contact info looks. There are about 10 similar apps. This is the one that I've enjoyed the most. But it's all a matter of opinion.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubab:
Good evening, XDA :cyclops:

I am having issues flashing from recovery!

Some device info: Motorola Xoom WiFi, fully stock and fully updated, unrooted, bootloader unlocked today, device wiped multiple times. This is my first day trying anything custom on this device.

I decided today that i wanted to go custom on my Xoom today and update it to KitKat via this method.

I have downloaded all the required files per the mentioned guide. While in recovery i go to apply update from USB drive, but it is not finding any of the downloaded files from the guide.

What I see is

Android system recovery <3e>
Choose a package to install:
/sdcard
../

The ../ is my only option to click and it obviously returns me to the main recovery menu.

All the zip files are on the root of the SD card, not in sub folders. I have confirmed via PC and another phone that the files are indeed there. I tried with a different, fresh, formatted (fat32) SD card, but I'm getting the same results.

The Xoom is indeed reading the SD card, confirmed via settings>storage.

I've tried using adb, but it's telling me the image isn't correct, but it's certainly possible I'm missing a step with adb.

C:\Xoom bootloader unlocker2>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Xoom bootloader unlocker2>fastboot flash R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip
unknown partition 'R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux.zip'

Yes, the zip is in that folder. I thought maybe I'd root first, so I tried that method with the root zip, but I'm getting the same error.

Is there something I can do to repartition this device and get it rommed, or am I doomed to use it stock?

Thank you for your time!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubab:
I found some information stating that I need to enable the SD card, but since I'm running up to date SW, and I can see the SD card from settings, I'm assuming that this isn't the case, correct?

I'm still stuck. Anyone around who could give me some advice?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beyeriii:
It appears the XOOM does not like SD Cards that were formatted using Windows

(or perhaps Quick Formatted using Windows).

Using a 4GB FlashDrive formatted as Fat32 using Linux (i.e. Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64 bit boot CD)

resolved the issue.

Thank you very much. The black is krylon fusion which is supposed to bond to just about anything. The green is also krylon but its flourescent instead of the fusion. Heres a pic of it after i finished wetsanding it today. Its as smooth as glass to the touch but once i shoot a layer of clear coat itll really shine then. In one spot i sanded a bit to much and the metal came through and then a lightbulb went off. I decided to give it a worn look with bits of black and metal showing through. I might leave it as is tho i kind of like the dullness.

I got bored on Friday and decided to finish it up I wet sanded it shot a layer of clear coat wet sanded it again and then shot a final coat of clear. I do think i like the glossy look better. Plus i baked the clear coat which makes it a bit tougher.

Depends on screen manufacturing and components used. Either way, you can do what the earlier post says: get back to complete stock and claim defective product. Not exactly ethical, but better than paying for a screen replacement.

[Networking] sprkrt:
Hello, I’m using a Qtek 9100 WM5 with the latest rom.

I’m using visto’s push email client provided by Vodafone. The problem is that although I have configured push apn “under” Vodafone internet profile, it does not switch between push & internet profile when needed. I have set device to do it automatically.

So, I can only use push email or internet explorer (or some weather forecast program), because since a connection is established through push apn the phone does not switch to internet profile when I open internet explorer!

Is there a solution to that problem?

Is there any way (or program) that we can manually configure which program should use specific apn?

One thing not mentioned in the directions on xda is that affer you flash the hboot in RUU mode, fastboot reboot-bootloader. With the phone connected in bootloader mode, run the RUU. There is no need to change your CID back to the att one to have the RUU run...
