[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacre:
feld is right. Using anything other than ext2 for the apps2sd partition boggles the mind. I have no idea why people insist on a: providing support for it and b: encouraging people to do it.

Ok, provide support for it for the people who know what they're doing/just want to do it for the hell of it, but having a journalled filesystem on an sd card makes no sense whatsoever.

As feld says ext4 uses up more RAM than ext2, which might be all well and good for things like the N1/Evo/Desire etc but not everyone has such a RAM beefy phone.

Besides that, the bottle neck in speed is the SD card/controller. No "faster filesystem" is going to improve that. Adding more IO is only going to slow things down.

Hi guys i was using S2U2 2.33 but one day my battery just drained to 0% in a second from 100%

Now its 2 days and still my battery does not charges above 70% and it discharges very fast i have uninstalled S2U2 but still the problem is there!!

I m using NFS FAN V 17 ROM could someone guide me? or do i have to buy a new battery

Will the re-installing of ROM to it will be fine!
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
If your battery is bad and you try to re-flash, you will brick your device (since it will probably stop flashing about half way through - happened to me with my Wizard). Your best bet is to get a new battery... they are rather cheap either on eBay or Amazon...

From your message, everything points to a bad battery...

Good luck!
[Touch CDMA General] patelaquib:
Thanks for replying

Hey

what do u think the probable problem due to which the battery got BAD?

i am using it from 1.5 years and this problem occured after that BATTERY DRAIN while i was using S2U2 2.33!

so what would be the problem as i mostly have to charge my battery from 60% twice a day so charging many times would be a problem

What do u suggest due to my big usage? Should i buy a extended BATTERY

But i want to tell u that i will take a extended battery if it fits only in the original case i dont want to buy a new case

So tell me the best option to get it also could u send me a link to buy it

it would be great thanks in advance!!!!
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
It could be that the battery just died on the spot... I don't believe (or at least have never heard of such an issue, let alone related to S2U2. The fact that you've had this for 1.5 years suggests that you bought it used, which means that the battery might be much older than that.

An extended battery will not fit with the original back cover. I believe that there was one (1500 mAh, I think), that it is supposed to fit, but I am not sure.

Just buy a stock battery and you will be in good shape.
[Touch CDMA General] patelaquib:
hey i took a new battery still the problem occurs

It twice charged till 100% now does not charge above 70%
[Touch CDMA General] royi386:
Same problem here

I am using Blackstone with official ROM. Its a new one. Less than one week old. Its battery is not getting charge more than 55%. Why so? I kept it on charger for one FULL night. But still its not charging above 55%. Please give me a solution for that.
[Touch CDMA General] royi386:
Plz help

[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Don't double post. Also, you are in the wrong section. This is for Vogue (HTC Touch and not Touch HD). You should head over to the Blackstone section and see if someone can help there.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
It probably has nothing to do, but what is the output of the charger that you are using? Also, 70% is enough (specially if it is a new battery) to flash a rom. Flash the device to something else and see if that solves the problem.
[Touch CDMA General] patelaquib:
hey thanks for replying

I got the charger which i go from TELUS & by the way i took the phone new from TELUS and its now 1.5 yrs i took a new battery as u said but still the problem occurs my new battery charged to 100% twice but now it does not chage above 70%

charger is having rating output- 5V - 1A

if u say to change the ROM then which u prefer

I AM USING NFS FAN V17
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Anything really, even flash the same one you have if you want to. Just make sure that your battery is charged as much as possible. If I am correct (and I think I am), it is a problem with the battery meter in WM, and flashing will tell WM that whatever your battery level is at that point will represent 100%. Give it a go and remember to back up your stuff before doing this. Good luck!
[Touch CDMA General] patelaquib:
did the same but i think the problem is wid charger

coz the battery charges with the USB connected with computer

but the orange light comes when connected with charger but battery does not charge

but if the problem is wid charger then i dont think that the battery should charge in mobile off condition???
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Try a different charger then. The battery will not charge if the device is off.

[General Questions and Answers] Myster:
Hi ,

I have been looking for an application that is able to act just like the default CallerID but is going to be able to match the incoming call from an external source ( Handbase , xls , csv etc )

I do not need it to be realtime or replacing the default CallerID but rather a seperate popup bubble or just a Log File

The Reason :

I have some thousands of contacts thus impossible to sync with address book

so i curry them in a separate Database

If i receive a call that is not listed as contact i have to search it through the other database and see if is someone i know ( eg client ) and call back or inore

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] moffe:
Is there a application for Nexus One or any other way to control what applications can make/have data-connections?

I at least travel alot and I need my mail to be updated but then again I don't need some other programs to do access internet when I'm abroad or when I'm home.

It's really stupid that the only way is to disconnect the whole data connection and then when you want to check your mail you need to activate it again, then some other program might do updates too. Which means lot of data is sent and received unnecessary!

E.g. my old crapy SonyEricsson mobile you could define what an application could do, Access internet, access sms...etc.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djmcnz:
Yeah, I think DroidWall (on the market) will do what you want.

Allows you to set up a whitelist for apps that can use the cellular data connection.

Needs root and I've no relation to the developer... a mate uses it and says it does what he needs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] moffe:
Great, I will try it! Thanks!

Too bad you need to have root. But for me it will work, but not for some of my friends.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Ok I tried the stock,Enom,CM and Desire Roms but none have pre-installed APN, it would be great to implement as many APN as possible(countries)

Also why the Nexus One is the only phone nowaday that doesn't update automatically APN???

I still don't know how to make my Lebanese Alfa WAP (semi-GPRS) connection to work while it was perfectly working on all SE and nokia phones I had thanks to automatic APN download.

I used to have 2 downloaded settings: Alfa Wap and Alfa MMS
[G1 Android Development] vishurao:
Problem:

After dropping the device nth time, i found that the phone would reset randomly. a slight touch here and there on the phone body, and the phone will restart.

Brute attack Solution:

Remove Back cover, remove battery, unscrew the 5 screws.

There is a black cover near the sim card slow. Remove the cover (its the static guard). Try and boot the phone now.

Observation:

phone reboots are fixed.

Proper Solution:

take some cello tape, and insulate the cover so that there is absolutely no contact between the cover and the sim slot.

I think this might not be the right place for this info. but if one more G1 is saved by this, i think it would be worth all the crap you guys will give me for posting it here.

It's not really development but it's very interesting regardless.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojosplace:
OK this might be a stupid question but is it possible to set the phone to vibrate when you receive a SMS or an email (I don't really mind about the email but SMS would be really useful)?

This is my first android (well, after messing around with it on the X1) and I'm unsure if the phone has this feature or not. I've checked the app marketplace and couldn't find anything.

Many thanks!

EDIT: Sorry I found the option for vibrate on email.

I've been wanting this phone for so long. . .

That's what I did from here in Amsterdam.

Or buy the Desire, Vodafone DE and Vodafone NL will launch that within weeks.
[Nexus One General] reaper1412:
I find the price in ebay ridiculously high, isn't it? :confused:

Is that price reasonable?

I think The Desire is less apealing than Nexus One.

So, I gonna aim for Nexus One then :D
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Demand and availability pricing I suppose. The prices are higher but unless you know somebody who can ship you one what are your options? I paid US$50 more for mine and think that was okay.
[Nexus One General] sixstring:
Order it from Google through Borderlinx UK.

There are numerous threads on importing to Germany on android-hilfe.de and pocketpc.ch.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogie25:
Hello everyone,

Yesterday I installed the official upgrade from HTC for my Diamond 2. Besides my personal settings, I installed a task manager from this site. Now, my phone has continiously 'Sleeps of death'. Sometimes he wakes up after 5 minutes or more. I opened the taskmanager and I took a look to the processes and everything was ok, except Manilla, which had a CPU usage of 97%.

I have a WWE edition phone.

Can someone help me with this? I searched for 'Sleep of death', but those issues are from july 2009 and at that time there was no upgrade yet.

EDIT: I deïnstalled the Task manager already ;).

I have restarted the device once again and now I looked from the beginning to the processes. It seems that first services.exe uses a CPU from 90% and higher and after a few minutes, this decreases and then manilla goes to CPU usages of 95% and higher.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
First question will be:

Did you hard reset after you flashed your new ROM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogie25:
O, I though that flashing a new ROM goes hand in hand with a hard reset. I didn't. Why is it necessary?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Reminence of the old ROM will remain as the RUU flash doesn't completely overwrite 100% of the blocks. A hard reset will almost always resolve any issues.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogie25:
Issue still not solved

Ok,

I've just executed a hard reset. The problem is still there. After the first soft reset, required for some adjustements, he had again a SOD.

What is wrong?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
I assume you are not HSPL'd as you are installing stock upgrades, correct?

Did you download the upgrade from HTC's site using your S/N?

There are a few things you can try.

You can reflash the upgrade. Always HR after.

You can download MTTY and perform a "task 29" which will wipe your flash drive and provide a clean platform to flash to.

or, reflash to your stock ROM, then try to reflash the upgrade.

Also, search on SOD as there may be other fixes that I am not aware of.

The typical cause is driver incompatability.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogie25:
I always install the official upgrades after downloading them from the official HTC site with my serial number.

I'll try your method and after that I'm going to report it here if it was helpfull.

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rogie25:
Possible solution

I just read the topic about the problems with the HTC sms application. Well, I discovered, that this app also causes my problems, becaus it loads all smses all at once, every time I have to use it. It just seems that this HTC app isn't made for such a large numbers of messages.

The solution can be found in this topic, I think: 631449

I'll try this...

EDIT:

Ok, I found the solution! It was indeed the HTC messaging app what caused my problem! I installed the 'Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2' application and now my smses at loaded within seconds! I hope that HTC will come with an update for this app soon. It was very nice, but I can't handle a 1000 messages.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LarryLauLive:
My mum had 3k+ smses in her TD2, and was experiencing lag.

I upgraded the ROM to stock WM 6.5 2.53.707.4 (Manila 2.5.20113030.0), (no other programs installed)

and then restored the trimmed-down 1k+ smses via MyPhone

Sense was extremely sluggish. The phone started having the Sleep of Death - soft reset and power on, power off after 5 seconds, power on for 1 second, power off for 10 seconds - power on - SOD!

The problem was solved by turning off Sense (from Today), and disabled the HTC Messaging with "Disabling HTC Messaging in manila 2.5" by zenkinz. The cab didn't work, but edited the registry manually and is now running the SMS Patch - it works fine now. Snappy on and off, runs programs smoothly.

I think that Sense 2.5 was never meant to handle thousands of SMSes.

For this to work i read that you must create drivers for the device to run android.

Unfortunately acer isn't HTC so there isn't much supoprt on this forum for the device. Maybe you can contact rayfitto(owned a acer device and now a android) and the guys over at the tread I just posted to learn what is necessary.

Good luck!
[neoTouch S200 ROM Development] :
This is possible but someone would have to compile a working kernel with proper driver support, the s100 is similar to the s200 but they have hardware differences, the only hardware thats almost identical its there basic e.g qsd82xx.

But when I try to connect it to a softap that i created with a tplink TL-WN321G usb adaptor, android gets full signals, connects to it fine, and it gets a correct IP and all. But thats as far as it goes. No data is transmitted and there is no internet connectivity. no ping from either side, and i tried to traceroute through the console and it terminated at the phones own ip. The softap works fine with other laptops and computers, and android works fine with a tplink router. Ive tried this on both donut and eclair, with no luck. Anybody got any idea? Please help!

[HD2 General] chakraa2:
Hello Guys,

I am from india and I got the HD2 few months back, well to sum up the experience, I have had with the device would be “love and hate” kind of. There are times when I am simple awe stuck by the awesomeness of the device and yet there are times when she acts like a complete ***** freezes for no particular reason. It got so frustrating at times that I even contemplated on selling it off but some thing always stopped me .I would like to thank all the wonderful developers out here who have come up with such amazing apps that at least has made my device usable to a great extend. I THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart.

I am on my official ROM with which the device came shipped with and the version being 1.43 and it’s quite ironical that we haven’t had a single ROM update ever since it has been launched in our country. Any way to cut the whole story short I would humbly request you guys to please look in to my queries:-

1)I am a newbie in to windows OS, so the utter thought of flashing the device kind of scares me off cause I have heard that if not done properly it can brick the device ,But lately I am willing to take that risk only if the cooked rom can solve these 2 grave issues of mine.

a)	the screen acts like a lunatic on the run .ghost presses ,hyper sensitivity etc the screen sensitivity tweak did help me a lot but still I am not 100% confident while typing ,So my question is does any of the cooked ROM takes care of this ? and if yes kindly let me the name of it.(this is one issue which I really cant get over)

b) The phone freezes for no particular reason at all , It just stops responding of its own .does the cooked ROM would take care of this as well?

2)Do the official ROM’s address the issues that I have mentioned above from what I know that HK got a new ROM update with the version being 1.72 (Sorry if I am wrong),So in 200 million years I would get to get the official ROM in my country as well and If I am not a prehistoric fossil by then I would rather wait for the it to come as its rather a safe bet for a newbie like me .So any ideas guys as to if the HTC official ROMS take care of these issues .

3)The erratic nature of the screen is it a generic problem ? I can not replace my device in the pretext of this behavior if this is a problem specific to my device, because we have no replacement policies out here. So can a ROM update (cooked or Official ) get rid of this completely .

So guys please do let me know the name of the roms both cooked and official which can help me get rid of these issues.

Cheers .
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Flashing the phone is extremely straightforward and easy to do.

If you can follow instructions, you can do it.

I've HSPL'd 3 devices and haven't bricked any of them.

Once you've HSPL'd it's highly unlikely that anything else (within reason) you do will brick the device.

You may render your device temporarily unuseable, but the fact that HSPL allows you to flash without a USB connection off the microSD (!) means that it's nearly impossible to brick a successfully HSPL'd phone.
