[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcomdesigns:
I recently had some issues with my rooted G1 with which I am currently running CyanogenMod 5.07 with Danger SPL, a 2.X radio, and custom recovery.

I contacted T-Mobile and got my replacement, but I want to be clear to downgrade correctly the SPL, radio, recovery, and rom all in the correct sequence, before I send this old one in.

Any help I would greatly appreciate.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Find the DREAIMG.nbh file and put it on your sdcard. Turn the phone off and boot it with camera+power. Select DREAIMG.nbh, let the phone do it's thing, and you're done. The nbh file contains the radio, spl, recovery, boot.img, and /system from RC29 and it automatically updates your phone. Easy to do or what?

EDIT: Only thing it doesn't change I think is the splash1 image, so fix that first if it says anything other then tmobile G1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volcomdesigns:
I was 95% sure that was it, but I wanted to be absolutely positive. Because if I bricked being unsure, I would be sending in a phone not how I said it was when I got it replaced.. Then I would be looking at a $350 restock fee.

Thanks man, greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I have the default G1 screen, thanks! :]

all of a sudden out of no where my slingbox on my phone is saying that my box isnt registered, ive been using it for months and never had this happen before my box is hooked up properly and everything i just watched it yesterday is anybody else having this issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickBaller:
Ok, I'm sitting here with my stock Evo (with Unrevoked) and I'm really enjoying it. I see all the ROMs being made and I'm tempted to dip my toe in and get dirty with flashing custom ROMs but I'm not quite there yet. What I'd really love to do as a first step is to just manage to remove all the Sprint bloatware from my 2.1 stock Evo. I don't want to lose all my apps or anything if I can avoid it. I really want to just "do something" then "reboot" then be able to use a file manager type of application and start deleting things like Sprint Nascar. Is this possible and how do I go about this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
You need to have root and NAND unlock for the removal of system apps to be permanent. That's the only way you would be able to remove the apps via a file manager like root explorer.

Or you could remove the apps while in recovery

For an easy guide on how to root and unlock nand go here (this guide also covers backing up your current data and apps)

After that, you can flash a stock rom that has root access and you'll be able remove apps at your leisure.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XpAcErX:
I rooted with toasts part 1 and part 2, using flipz .6 rom with the latest radio and I was able to remove the sprint bloatware by using titanium backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickBaller:
Will doing all the NAND root stuff leave me with the same system as I have now plus root access? It's just that I have everything the way I like it now and I don't want to start from scratch or have to install someone else's stuff and try and set everything up again just so I can remove the Bloatware off the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
No, you'll need to flash a stock rom that has root. You can use titanium backup to back up your apps and home screen and restore them after flashing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davesters81:
I recommend following the TheBiles' guide. He did an awesome walk-through of toast's roots then you can flash a custom ROM. I did this in a little over an hour and it worked perfectly. At the beginning he backs up all your apps, and after I flashed Fresh's ROM, I was able to restore all my apps back the way they were and all the bloatware was removed except for what you want to keep you can add back in after. I can't post links yet, but here is the post with Thread ID:

Hi

I want to execute some programs(mail sync, weather update..) after wifi connection established.

Is there any event receiver in WM 6.5?

Can I execute a script/program only when the wifi connection established?

[Droid Incredible Accessories] seanhassars:
don't know that I'd buy it. especially coming from hong kong it's probably pretty terrible qualitywise, but I like that battery cover better than the actualy HTC extended battery cover.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] timehunter:
Well, as nice as it would be to have nearly twice the power, it looks like it would make the phone monstrously thick. I may like my women curvy, but I like my phone thin.

I'd also be a bit concerned that the recess for the camera lens and flash will interfere with picture quality, causing "barrel" shadow as well as limiting flash light splash.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mrchambo:
Agreed...looks pretty chunky to me...jc
[Droid Incredible Accessories] AlexanderJohn:
I think I may be picking this one up... I like hong kong stuff ;)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bugmenever:
has anyone picked this up yet? any reviews?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] russphil:
It has gotten some positive reviews over at androidforums. It probably won't last more than a few months until it stops holding its charge, but for $14 its worth a shot. Another seller is selling two batteries, the cover, and an external charger for $22, so even if both batteries fail, I figure I at least won't have to do anymore bump charging.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mexicanigga:
I bought a battery from China one time for my blackberry and it worked well for like a week but it didn't carry a charge to well then I leave it one nite fully charged and I wake up its dead.... and it happens every single time...

I BOUGHT IT AGAIN AND SAME PROBLEM...

DON'T BUY BATTERYS FROM CHINA
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bhazard451:
I just got mine yesterday, a 2700mah for $15.

So far I've left it running for 10 hours with light usage, and it is still at 80%. Very impressive. Seems to be lasting longer than my 2150 official HTC battery as well. Absolutely worth $15 with the back case.

I'm undervolted and overclocked on a rooted dinc, with a sleep profile in setcpu.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bugmenever:
bhazard, mind linking us to the one you bought? some people are saying the batteries work okay in the first few days, then die after a week or so. can you comment on this?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bhazard451:
Still working good after a week. Battery lasts a little longer than the official 2150. It is most likely 2300mah but still a great deal so far for the price.

http://cgi.ebay.com/2700mAh-Extende...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a0380a57
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bugmenever:
any problems with using the LED flash on the camera since the new battery backing is so large?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] reich2004:
I just got mine in the mail today. Got the 2600mah version. Gotta say this thing is just enormous. I checked on the flash and it didn't seem to be interfered with by the camera recession. But seriously... very thick.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ashdawg4:
Just a thought...

So instead of getting a 2600 that makes your phone overly huge, why not get the 2-1800MAH batteries with the separate charger they have on ebay? The batteries are for the EVO 4G, but at least you know they will last over a month and for two 1800 MAH batteries and the charger, it is only $24.95

Also, the 2600MAH one on some auctions on ebay are 11.95 with free shipping...so better than $16.00, I guess it's worth a shot if you want a huge a$$ phone!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] bhazard451:
It really isn't all that big, especially with the HTC back on it. It only slightly protrudes out of the silicone case that I cut to put it in, and after several weeks has held its charge better than the 2150 battery I have (same physical size). It lasts about 30 min to an hour longer. Very impressive for a $15 battery.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] reich2004:
Is the battery the same size as the 2150 htc one bhaz? Just curious cause the phone does look huge with my 2600 hk battery and back. Considering the htc 2150 if its more stylish.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] reich2004:
Nevermind. Guess i should learn to read.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] sezaro21:
I got the battery on Saturday, I bought the 2600 MaH battery for 11.00 w/ free shipping. When the battery arrived, it actually said 300MaH. The first 4 days, the battery was amazing. I would unplug my phone at 8A and when I went to charge it overnightI would still have 30% left. My stock battery would need to be plugged in by 5P or it would die on me. The new battery I thought was great but after the 4th day, I noticed that the battery started draining quicker and quicker. It's 2:30P and my battery is at 40% already and it's just been sitting on my desk at work. I guess I got what I paid for. I contacted the seller and I'm waiting for a response from him. I might buy the HTC 2150 battery as that worked really well. I figured I could still use the Back cover that came with the ebay battery but use the better battery.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Lcsglvr:
Just got my supposed 2700, yes, 2700, from a seller in usa for 25 bucks. We'll see how it lasts.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] rushless:
A few weeks ago, I bought a 2600 that had the fat door on it with speaker holes. On average for the first four days, the battery lasted a few hours longer than the 1750 Seidio and about 2X the 1300 stock.

About the fifth day in, the battery started declining in life and now lasts in between the stock and Seidio (more than stock, less than Seidio). Weird thing is the trend down has stopped and it remains a little weaker than the Seidio.

I expected the life to trend down "soon", but not days- I expected a few months of good use. Not even $13 worth use, now that I went back to the longer lasting 1750 Seidio. Fat door Inc would be fine, IF the battery lasts longer. Not in this case.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PeanyTech:
Ordered this 3500mah battery. Hong Kong. eBay Item # 290466580402 Wish me luck :cool:
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Therev29:
Mine's been going strong for about a month now, the back isn't that bad, great if comparing to the htc ext back. I get about 20 hours out of a charge moderate to heavy use

Not for nothing but aren't most batteries manufactured in china anyways. You pay less because you don't have to pay for private branding. Not really because the quality is lesser. Granted some people have had bad experiences, received different battery than ordered and not see a resolution, but all my experiences have been good. Well for batteries at least
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
I finally got around to rooting mine earlier today..

Ever since, I can't get either of my computers (both Mac and PC) to recognize the phone for mounting the SD card. It charges fine via USB but is impossible to mount as USB storage. Any ideas on this?
[Droid Incredible General] Bxsteez:
Maybe a driver issue?
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
I thought that originally. But if that were the case, I wouldn't have been able to connect to them previously (no changes in drivers on the computers) or been able to connect to complete the root process. I'm kind of at a loss for ideas right now.
[Droid Incredible General] Bxsteez:
hmm strange... I'm a android newbie so i don't think i can help passed driver :P
[Droid Incredible General] dreamersipaq:
Method?

Hey what method did you use to root? If you can mount your internal storage but not your sdcard, can your phone read your sd card when the phone is booted normally? Perhaps you damaged your slot?
[Droid Incredible General] mejdam:
exactly what i was thinking, but myz06vette are you able to view content from your sd card using just your phone? ex: music, movies or pictures?
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
Yes, I can view content on my SD card and internal phone storage on the phone itself using Root Explorer or ASTRO. I didn't use the method that required me to pull the SD card out. I can play music stored on the card and view all my photos, so I know its reading okay. I even took the SD card out and put it in a memory card reader and it hooked up to the computer fine.. mounted right away. Just won't mount through the phone.
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
The development.apk packaged in many Dream/G1 ROMs has an option to scan for media. Try that :)

BTW, *#*#4636#*#* also works from the dialer to pull up phone/radio options, which will allow you to switch between cdma auto (PRL) --> cdma only -->> ev-do only. The latter two options should save you battery!
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
Thanks for the advice! I updated to CDMA-only right when I got the phone.. so I honestly can't say whether or not its saving me battery since I don't know what it was like set to CDMA auto PRL hahaa.

I tried installing the Dev Tools apk you attached, but each time I do, it says "Application not installed" with the yellow !triangle next to it.
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
Sorry, man -- that .apk was from an Eclair build -- try the new one I put up -- it's from an Espresso build, I just installed in on my DI -- all good :)
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
Hah alright fair enough. This one loaded fine.

Checking it out now... will report back. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
Half of the options in the app force close.

Media scanner loaded, but isn't helping me mount the sd card to my computer.

Any more ideas?
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
So you've checked your settings in "Connect to PC" -- perhaps your "always ask" option is cleared and it's set to HTC Sync, for example? What do you get in the SDcard/Storage menu? Any stats for the SDcard? What happens when you elect to eject it in that menu?
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
Storage menu shows total space and free space like it should.

Connect to PC is currently set to Ask me everytime.. option for Disk Drive selected just to try and force it to mount..

Removed SD card.. did battery pull reset.. still nothing.
[Droid Incredible General] rynosaur:
That's frustrating. You might have to back-up your sdcard data on a PC and re-format the card, then copy the data back. I'm assuming you have a card reader.
[Droid Incredible General] myz06vette:
I hadn't thought until just now to try another card. I've got a few sitting around here somewhere. I'll try that before taking the time to backup almost a full 16 gigs of stuff, format, then restore it all.
[Droid Incredible General] trunksta:
Do you have some sort of app killer/task manager auto killing the obex service? Ive noticed i have problems when it isnt running, but when it is running it kills battery like mad. Try going to settings>applications>running services and see if its running next time you try to mount. It should show up under calendar. Hope this helps.

P.S. I only let this service run when i need to plug into my pc, since it seems to keep the phone from being able to "sleep" properly. So if you have something killing it, or the calendar app has been removed that may have a part in your problem.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] evoflorida:
i haven't see a stock app you discribe.

yahoo does allow you to make a few. i have 30 portfoillos made since 1997.

the apps i like are: restock, stock alert, stock app, stock charter. the last one is the best.

buy MVIS - its a mini laser projector for cell phones coming out by the end of next yr. (fingers crossed) HD and in a dark setting 100" dia, in an office setting maybe 24". - 2 1/2 hr run time. MOT has it working in cell phone since Feb. 2009.

then they have Retinal Scan Display eye wear and HUD/Eye Wear coming. then there is their gamer goggles giving the gamer a 100" screen view.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] nephelim:
I need L2TP for work and it was one of the first things I set up on this phone

After rooting and flashing to SlideMEROOT2 I can't get l2tp to work. Here is what I have tried so far...

I flashed the ENG img and VPN worked fine,

upgraded the radio and it worked fine.

Flashed SlideMEROOT2 and it broke.

Reflashed ENG img to get back the the older radio build and verified that VPN worked and then flashed SlideMEROOT keeping the older radio and VPN didn't work.

Wiped and flashed legend2slide with both old and new radio and couldn't get L2TP to work here either

Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated. I am thinking that maybe I could mount the System.IMG from the ENG rom or the Original Nandroid backup and copy the needed .apk files but I'm not sure what all VPN needs

Thanks in advance for your help.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nephelim:
The SlideM rom seems to work fine

L2tp works fine on the SLIDEM rom so that's what I will stick with. I'm tired of troubleshooting and based on the fact that nobody replied, I'm guessing that I'm either the only one who experienced the problem or, it could be that I'm the only one who cares about LT2P VPN connectivity.

At any rate, mods, if you want go ahead and kill this thread.

I installed a cab to automatically load the music player on startup, which fixed my main issue with the Sense music player... slow loading. However, I'm still having an issue updating album art. Everytime I do, most of the album art is incorrect, and completely irrelevant to the album it's associated with. I'm syncing my music with WMP, where all the album art is correctly updated... but for some reason the album art isn't syncing.

Is there any way to sync my music AND album art? I have a lot of albums, and really don't want to go through every one of them and rename the album art.

Thanks in advance for any help!
[HD2 General] realrael:
i don't use WMP for synch'ing, instead mediamonkey.

from what i know, the album art (the image files) per album must be put in the same folder.

so whatever music transfer software you use, it must be stored on HD2 per album.

hope it helps.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
I just put the music & everything on my storage card manually & the sense player automatically finds it. For album art make sure to put a pic named folder.jpg in there with whatever album art you want.

[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
What more would you like the mods to do? There already is a Q&A section where questions are to be placed, which means this thread is for anything non question related. Relax and repeat a mantra or something.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Not much.

I reckon his post is really directed at posters who refuse to (or cannot ) read, not the mods. I suppose while people continue answering Qs posted in the General forum, people will continue to post them. OTOH if participants resist the urge to show their knowledge by responding in the wrong forum maybe the posters will see the error in their ways. Failing that the post without a response will soon fade away.

As someone else mentioned, placing the Q&A thread atop the list would probably fix things, but it is out of whack with the rest of the XDA layout, so this would not do either. Quite a few of the Questions seem to come from posters who use English as a second language. So perhaps changing Q&A to Question & Answers may help because the abbreviation may not be so obvious to some.
