I have installed the phone pad on my

Jasjam and while it works fine I have one problem.

Even when Phone Pad is selected and I soft reset my Jasjam this selection is lost. What I mean is that after each soft reset the phone pad has to be re-selected. Just wanted to know if there is a way that phone pad remains selected even after a soft reset.

Thanks and Regards
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JPHCCFC:
there is a program in the settings I think is called input type and this lets you select the default input method! however this doesn't seem to work on my hndset and sometimes I need to do a soft reset to get the dialpad back!

I'm hoping for a new rom sometime soon cause this phone is sooooooo buggy!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youwontstopme:
Hey,

I would like to ask for advice.

I have had an Xperia Z for almost a month and the battery seems to be faulty:

It lasts few hours with a very little usage.

I attach the screenshots of battery panel.

I should recur to assistance or not?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jai554:
Mine only lasts around 4 hours... even when completely turned off...

Go in the service test and check whether the battery is good.

[Moto X Q&A] Musa95:
Hi guys.. I have recently flashed several Custom Roms in my X.. But i wanted to go back to stock.. I have a backup made when i was on 4.4.3 and now in the custom rom i have 4.4.4..my question is can i return to stock with my backup without having problems? Thanks in advance
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
It depends entirely on how you flashed your custom ROMs. If you flashed them from TWRP or other custom recovery, you should be safe because your bootloader and partition table (these are what cannot be downgraded without bricking) are still on 4.4.3. TWRP only restores/flashes /system, /boot, and (sometimes) /data.

If you ever flashed a 4.4.4 ROM from fastboot (and flashed motoboot.img and gpt.bin) then you could potentially be in big trouble if you go back to 4.4.3. (even if it is successful, you might brick during the future OTA to 4.4.4).

Anyways, as long as you are absolutely sure you never flashed the 4.4.4 bootloader or partition table, you should be safe.
[Moto X Q&A] Musa95:
Perfect.. I flashed trough twrp from 4.4.3 so i dont think i will have trouble.. Thanks for your response
[HTC Salsa] kingsdeb:
Hi, I read lots of posts here in xda on how to install custom ROM on my HTC Salsa, lot of times i felt bad as the posts always required my phone to be S-OFF. I couldn't find a nice and easy solution for this.

However somewhere i read that it is not mandatory to have S-OFF and which is when i just started experimenting on my phone.

I did unlock the bootloader from HTC dev . But i still have S-on.

I downloaded some *i9500 custom ROM and copied it to my downloads folder in sdcard. Tried to install the zip from sdcard from my CWM Recovery and it failed always. But then i thought that it could be the problem with image which i downloaded as it is not supported. So then i found one more post for HTC Salsa and downloaded the image from the link given in there.

Here is the link of that post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2745185

Here is the link from where i downloaded the zip : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/

Here is the image which i downladed : cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip

After getting into CWM Recovery i tried to install the same and at first it looked that it is going to install but in some time i get some error like

set_metadata_recursive.... error STATUS 7. INSTALLATION ABORTED.

Then i thought i was doing to wrong and as per some post .. i formatted all the /boot /system /sdcard ....partitions listed in CWM.

Now my sdcard is completely formatted .

After i copy my image there and try to install the same :

I get :

--Installing: /sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

E: Error in .sdcard/cm-11-20140719-NIGHTLY-icong.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted.

I can't even reboot to my old ROM. .. Not sure if its lost completely. .. Need help urgently.

Please help me recover or reinstall any ROM just for my phone to come back to life again.
[HTC Salsa] kingsdeb:
Please help

Please help!!!. I am not sure if my post will die here.
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
If your using the new icong_g CM11 then you require the installation of the new cwm 6 recovery. if you follow the guides correctly then you won't have any issues.

can i ask why you thought about trying a different model phones software on this? it would only cause some serious issues lol.

and to answer the question when u wipe and clean of any data then it will leave the original OS in place unless you flash another then its that one that replaces it
[HTC Salsa] kingsdeb:
Actually when i tried to install the icong_g CM11 i think it tried to flash but the installation aborted with error 7 as i mentioned earlier and so my old ROM was washed away i guess.

Somewhere i again read i need CWM 5.0.3 and so i tried that as well. Still getting the error.

Where can i find CWM recovery 6 for HTC Salsa.?

What are the mount/unmount options should i follow. Like /system, /data. Should they be mounted or unmounted before installing the zip.
[HTC Salsa] kingsdeb:
Please help me solve the problem.

Why i am failing to install the cm-11*icong all the time with error 0. Do i really need to upgrade my CWM recovery from 5.0.3 to 6 ?

Also please help he flash my phone with manual steps.

I am using Fedora 20 for using fastboot and adb.
[HTC Salsa] kingsdeb:
Got the link to download the latest recovery image ..Its 6.0.5 from the below link:

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=4865#downloads

Now i was able to install the custom ROM downloaded from here : http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/icong/

Atleast my phone came to life. Thanks to XDA developers.

But the graphics seem too bad. Can we do anything about it?
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
as stated in other post, not a lot you can do about it, u can play with he screen res but it won't do much
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadejo:
Is it possible to create a governor that uses frames per second for computing.

So for example

You set the gov to 30fps. The cpu works only to make stable 30fps.

You set gov to 60fps. The cpu keeps 60cpu stable

If there are for example areas in a games that doesnt require much power for 60fps it clocks down

And if there are games with fps cap it clocks down aswell.

This is a great idea i think. And it should be possible.

This would be a simple governor because the only governor setting for the user would be fps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nfsmw_gr:
Not bad but our phone can't handle all the games at 60fps, so it's a matter of computing power too.

A variable could be added though so that when it detects fps >30 but <60 it tries to make it work at 30fps so that the performance is consistent.

But what about videos? Many videos are at 24 and 30 fps, so something must be done about this too.

Damn, it'd be cool but I think it's too much work for a result that might not be as pleasing as it sounds. :/

If a frame limiter exists for android (don't know if it does or not, just sayin') we could most likely get less heat and battery consumption when set to 30fps for certain apps without the need for a special governor.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadejo:
Thanks for the reply. I hope someone makes that governor.
[LG G2 Mini] cripii5:
Hi. I'm having a trouble with my LG G2 mini. When I get the phone in my pocket, unintentionally, I hold the power off button and even when the phone is blocked, if you hold the power off button, it restart. Sometimes I'm walking on the street and I hear the booting sound from my pocket and I'm like... WTF? :eek:

Someone know how to deactivate this function? is a pain in the ass.

Thanks and sorry for my REALLY bad english :o
[LG G2 Mini] silent_hunter:
I've never noticed such thing as restarting, but I have similiar problem with Volume+ and Volume- - there's camera and quick note shortcuts by default and I can't get rid of them...
[LG G2 Mini] Zaaap72:
root -> exposed -> G2 tweaks box

There you can set the behaviour of the volume buttons.

Don't know if you can set power button, but I never had problems with it.
[LG G2 Mini] silent_hunter:
Yeah cool, but You have to pay to unlock those features.

[LG G2 Mini] Zaaap72:
AFAIK long pressing of power button is not handled by the OS.

It works even when the device freezes or you tried to boot with a non working kernel.

Some kind of emergency restart that nags you.

I was very happy that it works this way while testing custom recoveries.
[LG G2 Mini] cripii5:
Ok now i'm having a new problem. If you deactivate de vol+/vol- function in the bloq screen if you press vol+ amd vol- at the same time for a few secods, the phone just can't start until you press the power button for a few seconds to restart it. I guess I will have to buy a case for my phone

What is the best kernel for KitKat to battery longest held?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
There is no real best kernel for kitkat since it also depends on the rom and your apps/usage. The best way to find it out is to try different kernels and see which one is the best for you.

And please do not post best kernel threads, I understand what you want but the battery life depends on the rom/user also not only the kernel.

[MENTION=2159818]wladca[/MENTION] try gustavo kernel, apolo kernel and dorimanx kernel those 3 i remembered try those and see which have the best battery life. I dont know or there is a dorimanx kernel for cm11 and i can't say which has the best battery life since i dont have the device anymore for a year. Just read the thread i posted, find the kernel which just fits to you, read comments and just flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] computerblue22:
When trying to plug my verizon s3 galaxy into usb cable to charge, the charging indicator comes on... but I don't think it's actually charging because there is usually an animation indicator in the top bar that shows it's charging. It's been 3 hours and I'm at 0%. I can power my phone on long enough to see it's still on but it will power off because it's still not really charging (or charging at all?). Unplugged, phone won't power on of course. Plugged in, I just have power on for about a few minutes. I've had this when it was released, so since 2012 I have not have to replace any batteries or cable.

I've tried using a seperate usb cable charger, and same thing. What could be the issue? I want the usb port repair to be the last resort so please help! So here's my plan so far:

-contact cleaner/gas duster (is there a difference between the two?)

-replace batteries.

Any troubleshooting/diagnosis I could do myself to find out the problem? Anything else I should do?

I'm not the most tech-savvy person so please be nice and thorough. Lol.

-----update------

I don't want to do factory reset because I don't want to lose my personal data. My phone now says 8% but drains right away the moment I use it. My laptop won't read it to allow me to transfer pics,vids, other data. I installed a battery current widget witch reads:

3.22V (which is good since the battery is 3.8V)

103.3F internal temperature

and 0mA ----> So this is the root of my problem. Why is it reading 0mA? But very slowly charging to around 8% when powered off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ProtheusIRC:
Try Factory reset. If that doesn't work, it could be the charging port has come lose from the solder/logic board.

Could be one of two things, either the battery itself or its the charging port.

Thanks for the response. So your gf's was a broken charger port?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
No, VZW never really figured out what it was. They just assume it's the phone. But it's been the same issue with each one. It's the OTA update that's causing issues I have a feeling, if only big red knew what the heck they were doing it probably wouldn't even do that at all. You could clean the cache partition. Not sure if it would work, trial and error there I guess

To my knowledge many hardware upgrades can be made to the Universal.

Seeing earlier posts of Universal Motherboards and chipsets...

It is possible to solder and upgrade the Universal.

Upgrades Include:

1. RAM - Suggested Hynix DDR / SDR RAM

2. Processor - nVidia (includes video card upgrade) if you are lucky or the new Intel PXA29x Monahans or Intel Bulverade x270 650mhz processor.

3. Wifi upgrade to Atheros ABG

All these upgrades are possible. If anyone is successful on doing these upgrades or has any ideas from where these parts can be obtained.. we are looking at the next generation pocket pc's and mobile devices to be created on xda-developers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Why not suggest this to a real company like Pocket PC Techs: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~unit~O2_XDA_Exec-500~area~repairs.htm

They already have a repair section for the Universal. It might be easier for them to acquire everything, plus it would give us the option of having trained professionals handling our Universal.

But I read sometime ago, someone already tried this and did not work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Mobile SDR/DDR RAM

I will consult Pocket PC Techs as you say they are professionals.

I will consult Intel, Atheros and Hynix on obtaining the parts. I am highly trained with soldering since i recently upgraded the video card on my motioncomputing LE1600 tablet pc ($5000). This phone Universal costed me $1200 from expansys and I would not like it to get busted. But i am pretty sure i can do it myself. If successful i will post pictures of the new chipset. Most certainly it will fit into the same body. Device Driver flashing will need a new ROM... i guess Helmi's/Ivans/Jwrights ROMS wont work. Anyways this will take me a week to a month to obtain the parts. And a few days to solder.

The hard part is making the ROM. Maybe my new project of Windows Crossbow i can integrate the device drivers into the ROM since they will be provided by the manufacturer for sure. So its not impossible i would say. Getting help from Pocket PC Techs really sounds good. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] arc:

I have already done this operation on Universal.

Now I have

CPU -Intel P4

Video- NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2

RAM- Nynix -10TB.

OS-Photon

:D :D :D :D

You foolish and tell the delirium!

Please do not spam on the forum with false information. If you have really performed the upgrades post the picture of your new chipset and the Photon OS.

Again Spam

The Hynix RAM is not at the bottom right. It is supposed to be on the left. This is what the image is. Which i got from another thread! The RAM is supposed to be soldered on the top right. Right beside those 3, 2 slots are left for RAM to be soldered. And there is no Intel P4 processor. I guess people can use this as a reference to solder.

Anyways i am not going to keep mentioning about your spam. Because wind just adds more to the fire. The rest is upto the forum administrators.

not if you know what you're doing.

i for one would love a GeForce Go and faster WiFi in there. But isn't there a problem with RAM addressing over 64Mb?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Exactly what i was thinking. Upgrade the RAM and the processor (processor upgrading i think is impossible). And then the video card <-- not great chance of upgrading.

Currently i can only give confirmation based on my skills that i can upgrade the RAM. Getting hands on the hynix SDR/DDR RAM will not be easy either.

I am also sure that these upgrades shall keep our Universals tuned in for another 5 - 10 years along with Windows Mobile Crossbow and Windows Photon. Just like the Windows Vista that will be up and running for 10-15 years.

Anyways after these upgrades are successful i plan on marketing my product of research and upgrade for twice the same price as the universal. I shall post pictures of the device once it is upgraded and what the new ROM recognises.

I am currently working on Windows Crossbow and Windows Photon as well.

Now i base my research on facts from wiki so there is no chance of failure.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
would would the CPU be impossible to ugrade? I believe the RAM is the most difficult because, I think, Win Mo doesn't recognize more than 64MB... but I don't have facts for that. would be awesome to have 128MB or even 256, 512 would be tha sh1t!:cool: I checked those chips and I have a PDF 'bout it... if it helps. :) but I haven't seen such low capacity

Now the processor would be awesome to upgrade, too... but why not? maybe pin configuration? or would they be able to compile WinMo for just one speed of a processor? or are we talking 'bout different processors altogether?

I was checking the internet 'bout such things, reflow stations(pro, DIY) and solder paste, but I'm afraid to try with my Universal as I haven't done it before. any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] yinfo:
RAM,processor or WiFi of Universal cannot be upgrated,though RAM of HP4700 can be upgrated to 128MB.but the camera of Universal can be upgrated to 3.0MP.It costs only RMB200(USD25).There are already many people(except me) upgrated their camera of Uni.I will post the pictures later
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
$25 USD Sounds too unreal for a 3MP camera upgrade for Universal. What is the optical zoom/digital zoom/lens mm? We here at xda-developers.com are looking into technical and specific details. I dont want a 3MP camera with barely any optical/digital zoom and images that cant be taken in a sunny day.

Also RAM upgrade is possible. Why else do you think those two empty solder spots are left on the motherboard?

I was sure that the camera can be upgraded too. I will find out more camera details and keep the forum posted. Since i am a professional SLR photographer i can provide the best camera's to the Universal device.

This means a stronger high beam flash can also be upgraded.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] yinfo:
Maybe $25 USD Sounds unreal for you,but in China,it's real.But now I can't find out the pictures of it on Chinese forum. It has optical zoom.

The battery costs only $25 in China,the imitated one costs only $7.And the 3200mAh battery costs less than $15 now,though I bought it for $19 5 months ago.I bought my T-Mobile MDA Pro for about $530.

Two empty solder spots are left on the motherboard is because the Universal was fist made for Windows Mobile 2003,which must has 128MB RAM.Do know CeBIT 2005?CeBIT 2005 had a Universal(T-Mobile MDA PRO) on show,which has WM2003 and 128MB RAM.

But someone had his HP4700 upgrated to 128MB RAM said that the Universal couldnot be upgrated to 128MB.He didn't tell me the reason.And so far,I have never seen any one have his Universal upgrated to 128MB RAM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Battery and Camera

yinfo you might be correct about the battery. I actually bought my Universal for around the same price as yours. Just $100 more. My 3200mAh battery also costed around the same price as yours. All my items came ofcourse from Shanghai and Ho Chi Minh and Hong Kong.

But my RAM is going to come from South Korea, Seoul.

Some good stuff is also being sold at Hanoi in Vietnam. Better check that place out.

Camera upgrade cannot be so cheap. It really sounds too unreal. I mean camera is not equal to battery. Maybe $100-$200 will be more realistic. Anyways I am still looking into this camera upgrade on the net, will find some results soon and keep the forum posted.
