[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qwaibo:
okay I'm a tad bit familiar with customizing and playing with the android operating system My shield tab is rooted and has custom recovery on it yesterday I decided to change the screen density in the build prop changed it and saved it went to reboot my shield tab and now it boots to a black screen my computer detects it as a apx device or a microsoft mtp portable device should I start saving up for a new one or is this fixable????
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
Boot into the bootloader. From there you can go into recovery or use fastboot to fix any problems. When the tablet is off hold vol - and just press power and let off before the screen come on. Keep vol - held the entire time.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
What dpi did you change it too?

You should use the wm command from a console instead like this:

wm density 200
wm size 1600x1000

the density should be calculated from the horizontal res / 8

so 1920x1200 has a dpi of 240 although 224 and 213 work nicely as well. The above example uses 200 and also drops the res (other wise fonts and icons start getting too small)

I.e., set the corresponding resolution as well if you need to.

to reset:

wm density reset
wm size reset

You will need to be root (use su) to use this.

All,

I'm looking for a company which is able to clean and repair my HERM300 device.

It got wet and now when I want to charge it the led turns red.....

When I leave my device on a warm radiator it works and I can use the device...

But it seems to fail when it gets colder....

Any suggestions?

Cheers and thanks,

I would like to add something, may be you already know, to red led knowledge. I have a car charger (just plain chinese USB charger with usb cable) When I connect my HERMES I could have 3 conditions: orange (charging) Nothing (not charging) or RED (?). If I soft reset, with charger connected, I ALWAYS have orange, after Windows Mobile screen, But if I disconnect and reconect I have ALWAYS No Light
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
connecting hermes to charger without battery also enables red light.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Very good article Mike, I linked it on the Hermes problems wiki page :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
i just want to add my 2 cents to this, there was an earlier post on here that mentioned the car charger deal where it wont charge unless you turn the phone off, plug it in, then turn the phone.. right now i am on my 2nd 8525 and it has done this, but its not only the car charger (cheap belkin car charger) but it sometimes does this with usb cradle i got from ebay, i have opened the cradle and there isnt anything different, its a straight usb connection, hmm except now that i think about it there is a blue LED, but it shouldnt be drawing enough current to cause this. Also i have a motorola charger in my office that i used with my wizard (i believe output is slightly different, if i remember correctly its a .5 amp where as the HTC charger is 1 amp) but it also behaves in the same manner... the only 2 methods that work constantly and consistantly of plugging in without turning off is either the factory charger, or a regular usb cable on the pc..

just seems weird since all of these problematic situations worked fine on the wizard and i believe they both have the power requirements...

let me toss another idea in the fire here on this, something that just occured to me... i wonder if this somehow could be related to the factory installed driver for this. what made me think of this is how the battery meter only goes by 10%.. could this funky driver be the source of the problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tadzio:
If your cradle is not connected to your PC, or if your PC is off while you see the behaviour you described, then the likely reason is that pin 4 of the Mini USB connector isn't grounded on both your car charger and cradle. See here for more details.

8525 (hermes) Charging may be voltage sensitive

I have noticed with my new 8525 (USA Cingular model of phone) that it came with a 5.5V charger. Whenever I connect to a 5.0 V USB source charging the phone is very "iffy". Given that the standard for USB is 5.0 V (4.75 - 5.25) there is a problem with the design. My question for the HTC crowd is can this be fixed via a ROM change or are we stuck with a bad design?:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
http://www.america.htc.com/support/service-repairs.html

Since you got it wet, it is most likely not covered by the warranty, these and the numbers for out of warranty repair if you live in the U.S. I know that for cingular, you have to ship it to them yourself, and they will charge you a $28 diagnostic fee, before telling you how much is costs to fix the problem (if they even can)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] crusher:
heh here almost the same, providers are charging ~$29.5 USD as diagnostic fee but they are more polite, they first tell estimated costs, and only ask for the sum if you (usually) don't order the repair but need back your phone ;)

Hellejoep:

if you are willing to send it abroad (inside EU) and you are either not need "overnight return" or such nonsense or cover the extra costs such operations really need, you may contact me. no diagnostics fee or anything such (though you will have a small loss.

about the charging problem:

the same issue occurs also in Wizard/Prophet, and Charmer (compactII) as well. though not in Magician, even so that they share the exactly same battery.

I believe it must have something to do with the charging controller. I don't have a disassembled unit at home with me now, but I suppose it should be a crap companion chip from Texas, to be interfaced with the ever-worst TI OMAP platform :P

(sorry, no hard feelings, pals, but someone using such one as an actual everyday phone must have some sorta mental problem :))

strange battery issue

Hi all,

I've a similar issue with any charger.

It happened first with car charger (one cradle with an usb output): sometimes it charged, most of all it charged only when power was off.

Now I cannot charge with any method. (those described here: battery charging problems)

Usb cable (it's not original), original power supply, even with the y cable.

When i try to charge, it drain battery (i tried with a new one) and amber led blinks slowly instead to be firmly light.

There's anything I can do?

It's a SPV M3100 buyed two months ago on ebay.

I tried also with two roms WM6 official release ITA ver and Schap's 3.54b ITA ROM WM6

radio 1.48

Any suggestions?

Herm200/tytn problems

hi to all,

i read most of your post on possible problems with this PDA (HERM200/HTC TYTN).

i'll try to spent some few words to explain the story around my pda.

i live in italy and i bought the TYTN on december 2006 and for 6 months with his software problems i used it day by day in my business activity, untill one day, it falled down the ground from my and with all the leather cover (bundled with the pda, an hard black belt cover); then i took it and picked up a telephone number from my addres book and then putted it in charge for all the night; when, late in the morning, i took it, i noted that there was still the red light of the battery indicator and then PDA didn't turned on.

i tried to make soft/hard reset but nothing.

I carried to the italian warranty service of HTC and after 7 days they deliver to me the PDA in the same state that i carried; on the technical report there was: pcb damaged, battery connector pinouts damaged, pda not Repairable - out of warranty.

i thought: "i have had a lot of care for this PDA that still look like as new one"

and now i have a 700€ of unusefull PDA.

Last day i finally decided to open my PDA to find broken pieces and more.... but nothing.... i observed really well:

NOTHING of wrong

.

Now i will to know if somebody of you, can suggest me something to revive my PDA or suggest me any service center (affidable) in europe (not like the italian one) where to send it for maintenance: I DONT WANT TO THROW OUT MY PDA!:mad:

Thank you in advance for your attention and patience.

ps: sorry for my english, i hope it will be comprehensive.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tadzio:
If I understood you correctly, your TyTN still works - it just cannot charge the battery, right?

Then, probably one of the cheapest (although not perfect) solutions is to get a cradle that can charge a battery outside the TyTN (like this one on eBay). You will have to power down your TyTN, remove the battery and put it in the cradle every other night or so, so it's not very convenient. But it's cheap. :-) Maybe you'll want to keep this as "plan B" in your mind while you look for a more perfect solution.

Cheers

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Przemo_55:
Hello!

I had also a battery charging problems with my MDA Vario II (TyTN; Hermes; HERM300):

1. Charging from the AC mains supply with the original miniUSB 5V charger: no problems.

2. Charging in the car with the non-original car lighter miniUSB 5V charger: it was charged only when the phone was OFF; no charging when the phone was ON.

3. Charging with the USB-miniUSB 5V cable connected to the notebook: it is charging only when the phone is OFF; no charging when the phone is ON.

So I asked myself: what is the difference between all these three cases? They are all miniUSB 5V power sources... And I found out an answer: It should be a matter of the USB current amperage.

Original AC miniUSB 5V charger delivered with the phone is 5V/ 1A. When I have bought the car 5V miniUSB charger with the 1A (one amper) amperage - there is no problem with car battery charging anymore... ;-) The phone is charged either way: ON or OFF.

But is it possible to charge the battery correctly from the notebook? I think not, because I have no influence on the current value from the 5V notebook USB.

Previously I had MDA Vario (Wizard): in this phone there were no battery charging problems... I wonder why the are some with the Hermes...

Take care,

Przemo
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tadzio:
This is not correct. The problem is well understood and has been discussed several times.

The key is that your device tries to sense what it is connected to:

- if there is USB data traffic, it concludes that it is connected to a computer. It will then negotiate the current (power) it can draw from the USB port with that computer.

- otherwise, your device checks if pin 4 of the connector is pulled to ground. If yes, it concludes that is is connected to a dedicated USB charger, and starts charging, consuming as much power as it needs. This mechanism seems to work only if the device is on - and sometimes not even then (bug?). I guess the mechanism is implemented in software, so it can't function when it is off.

- otherwise, it doesn't know what it's connected to. Could be a computer in stand-by that didn't power off its USB ports or something. Your device concludes it may be unwise to start charging (could, for example, drain the other device's battery).

The cheap after-market chargers do not connect pin 4 to ground (pin 5), so your device doesn't charge. If you are really good with a soldering iron, try connecting pins 4 and 5 of the charger's USB connector, and you'll see that your device will start charging with it.

Cheers

Thank youu Tadzio,

but my PDA is DEAD :( !

I still don't try to charge the battery separetly.

This is a review of the Kingston DTDUO 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive.

I've been using a USB OTG adaptor and a normal USB drive for a while now but it was a clunky solution and had an unreliable connection. It's easy to bump and then corrupt a file mid transfer, which was also painfully slow. This flash drive is my solution to not having a micro SD slot in my phone and wanting a simple bit of storage that I can use everywhere. I anticipate travelling with it and using it as my main USB drive simply because of the ability to move things between my phone and computers so easily. It's very small and hangs off my key ring; the device has a small metal loop for this purpose but there was no string loop included. The dimensions are 27.5 x 16.5 x 8.5 mm at its largest points. The colour of the flip cover is smokey grey with a brown hue.

I found this drive at the local tech store for $25 AUD. It comes in sizes from 8GB - 64GB, and there is a USB 3.0 version also available. The build quality is decent, though the micro USB plug looks somewhat fragile (you can see a gap in the photos). Considering the notoriety of micro USB this worries me a little bit. When plugged into my phone it sits well and feels safe. It is small and easy to ignore, but this will also depend on where the micro USB port is on your phone. For my OnePlus One it sits happily at the bottom. When the device is unplugged from your phone the smokey cover protects the micro USB side. The way the device's cover flips up is a bit awkward, if you have the flat side of your micro USB port on your phone on the bottom of your phone then the little cover will face down into the surface your phone is sitting on. The way the OnePlus One port is oriented the cover stands up in the air (as you can see in DSC_5423). You could easily remove the cover, possibly without damaging anything, but this would leave the micro USB port exposed, so I probably wouldn't advise it unless it was really inconvenient.

Hi,

Need to know your exact device make and model number to better guide you to an appropriate section for help.

And chances are the first step would need to be reflashing your stock firmware. Hopefully that will fix the issue.

Well, here is a thread that had many Karbonn stock roms, with a flash tool included.

You can ask in that thread for any help with this process.

As far as your actual issue, you may want to ask here before attempting to return to stock.... Perhaps someone may have a simpler answer...

> Karbonn A21 > A21 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Again, I would ask for help there before restoring stock. May be an easier solution.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

Also, I may have misunderstood your issue.

If your device works perfectly fine, but you just wiped your internal SD... Pics and all that.... Returning to stock is unnecessary. You've just lost your personal files.

You can try to recover the deleted data, but I've not seen a lot of success with that.

See what the members in your device section think. (the last link I gave you)

Good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Viranch:
Hey guys I am a long time Android enthusiast. I have one of the most popular Samsung devices which is the Samsung Galaxy fit. The problem with my Samsung Galaxy Fit is the battery. Earlier before any tweaking battery used to be normal. After I installed CM7(official build). My battery started draining randomly. At first it was ignorable but then the problem became severe. From 100% it would drop to 88% in just 2 mins use and then from 88% it wud drop to 70% in another 5 mins and the entire phone would be dead in just 3 hours at best. When I would charge the phone again the battery will also be charged randomly going from 5% to 20% and then 20% to 40% all this in just 10 mins. In no less than 20 mins would my phone be 100% charged but that's fake as the battery would drain from 100% to 0% in three hours.

Following are the solutions are tried

Changed the batter,used a brand new original battery(FAIL - DID NOT WORK)

Flashed stock Rom (FAIL - PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS)

Changed Charger (FAIL)

Recharged battery on a different phone and then inserted the battery in fit (FAIL)

If anyone has any solution please let me know. I AM ALSO WILLING TO DONATE IF PROBLEM GETS SOLVED.
