[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossy_k:
Hi all,

I have read around the forum that once you flash a new ROM to your phone that all your apps will be automatically reloaded? (assuming you log into your Google account and you don't begin downloading apps as soon it reboots after the flash)

Is this true? I have never waited after a flash for the apps to "auto re-install" ... I just begin re-installing my apps straight after a flash, but it this necessary? It would be great if it's not, as re-installing everything everytime is very time consuming!

I am running CM 5.0.8, and I want to upgrade to CM 6.0 once Cyanogen releases it... (Thanks Cyanogen!!!! :-) ) Assuming my understanding it correct, the apps should all auto re-install after I do a wipe and upgrade to CM 6.0 yes?

Thanks.

Cheers,

Ross

I thought that was a Gingerbread only feature?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipper203:
Well it happened to me when I installed a modaco rom...was great

Worked in 2.1, and probably even before.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dev_man77:
SO my roommate and I have been trying for daays to root my phone now and we just dont know what to do. He has a rooted nexus one and knows how to do alot of stuff and we cannot figure this out.

So far alls we have been able to do is downgrade to cupcake using the goldcard method. We used the method from the UNLOCKR and can get as far as installing the rom and it will reboot and stay on the vodaphone screen for hours and do nothing i have tried taking the battery out and restarting multiple times. Just something isnt working here.

I then reverted back to the goldcard and tried doing the one click method and whenever i try to backup the recovery image, it says backup failed.

I hate 1.5 and hated 1.6 I have spent many many many hours trying to do this and just cannot figure this out. If anybody has any idea whats going on here any help would be appreciated.

Questions:

I see many people while rooted have the mytouch loading screen, mine is now vodafone? why?

any links or very specific instructions to get me as far as loading a rom again?

my phone info:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO- 3.22.20.17

I know its annoying for my newb self to ask questions without searching But i have been for HOURS, its been taking the majority of my last 4 days.

I would really appreciate any help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] murattoptas:
Hi Friends,

I got a problem today and I need your help on this.

Wherever I touch on the screen , it only opens the start menu. I am not able to do anything due to this reason.

Have you experienced this problem before?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
Please do a little bit of searching before you post!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kandid:
Hi

Excatly the same problem.

I read a lot and the reason is " strange "

Htc is burning inside during hotty days. Digitalizer is freaking when is hot. Calibration waking away. After cooling in the shadow everything back to normal :eek:

I also suspect S2U2......but I trashed it and testing.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] joebi:
Try hard resetting and re calibrating your screen.

[HD2 General] Susasama:
Hey guys, did some searching around here but couldn't find exactly what i was looking for...Long story short... I dropped my phone, shattered the screen real good. luckily i have the insurance and blah blah blah.. Now two things.

1.) I am looking for the most up to date current STOCK tmous ROM so when i give it to them for repair, there will be no questions asked.

2.) My touch screen still works fine, just the glass is broke. I looked on ebay and all i could find was glass and digitizer, but i don't need the digitizer, just the glass.. is it possible to find JUST the glass? Cause even if i buy a digitizer too still cheaper than sending it off for repair.

Although I'd like to receive a NEW phone, cause i'm trying to get rid of it and, "New" sells better then "Dropped once but new glass!"
[HD2 General] suryo88:

[HD2 General] Susasama:
Thanks, any ideas on getting just a glass replacement? or am i gonna fork over 90$ for a glass/digitizer
[HD2 General] suryo88:
sorry i have no idea on screen glass replacement
[Desire General] elmoono:
Just went settings / about phone / battery / Battery use - where its says Google maps 91% :eek:

WTF! i have not even used google maps! did click it the other day to see how quick it loaded. Does this mean its sitting in the background eating my battery?

Just rebooted phone now just android system / cell / dsplay using battery.

What the best task manager then?

Anyone else notice this?
[Desire General] Flaggie:
I think it only means that when it is on (google maps) it uses 91% of the battery, but I could very well be mistaken
[Desire General] boas:
Some people says that we don't need task managers, but I like you have tons of apps running in the background sneaking battery and resources.

I just run some task manager from the Market, try anyone you want.
[Desire General] elmoono:
Will download a taskmanager and monitor this - have to say for the first few days battery seemed okay, but after installing updated google maps from market and booting it, battery gone in half a day - without using the phone, and only using the maps for 2 or 3 mins! and yes i have tweaked all and stopped all the crap updating online etc!
[Desire General] doggie123:
Maybe this will help:

If you are done using an app, use the Back button to 'exit' and any well-behaved app will then terminate itself (unless it needs to keep running, e.g. Skype, 3g Watchdog, and then usually a cheaper background process runs).

If instead you press the Home button the app will not terminate. Especially if it uses GPS (such as GMaps!), it may drain your battery fast.
[Desire General] hyaenidae:
Hey there

Forst it was a minor annoyance, but this morning the alarm went off without any sound and I was quite lucky, that the vibration was strong enough to get me out of sleep. But this just can't be.

I use custom sounds for all occasions and I got them in with the special folder structure for android to recognize sounds for the apporpriate actions.

But sometimes (no idea, why) it forgets to select any sound at all. In the list, NONE of the sounds - not even the default ones - is selected. Thus the silent alarm. (Except for the call ringtones, which switches to some boring bell.)

I kinda think that it has something to do with some .nomedia files I placed in various folders (like the ones of games...), but this just can't happen.

Any ideas, how to solve this issue? (Yes, since today it's an issue)

Thanks!
[Desire General] panosx:
Same here. I think it has to do with the sd unmounting itself problem mentioned elsewhere. No real solution yet. Sux.
[Desire General] leegil:
Sound Issue

I get this issue also. Approx every 24 hours i lose all Sounds for Ringtone, Alarm, Text and Email.

The only way I can get the phone to make a noise is to use the Hardware volume buttons on the side of the phone.

Even if a do a test Alarm or try to change my ringtone - No Sound.

I use all standard default sounds so no custom ringtones etc.

I have tried resetting my phone back to Factory, removing all task Manager Apps, All non essential Apps.

My workaround is to reboot my phone everynight to ensure the Alarm works in the morning.

This started since the 1.21 OTA update. Roll on 2.2..

I have started a thread for this already but no responses so far. Maybe it is not that common.

Lee.
[Desire General] narsyl:
Never had that problem, for me the only issue with alarm is the impossibility to put the sound/music to increase the volume gently...
[Desire General] sbdags:
Just started having this problem myself in the last few days. Not updated anything and still on stock 1.15 rooted.
[Desire General] chandalf:
I used to have to do this with my WinMo phone. I had hoped a new Android would actually 'work' but no, I have the issue too (although I thought it was something I'd done until I saw this thread!).

I'm still on 1.15 so it can't be the update.

Personally I'm ok with the results although i dissagree with his opinion on the looks of the Nexus One vs the blocky iPhone 4.
[EVO 4G General] David Horn:
It's basically 15 minutes of talking with about 50 seconds of demo. Interesting that he has a rooted Nexus One but hasn't used it enough to be able to reliably hit the soft keys.
[EVO 4G General] Blueman101:
he said he is an iphone user and is just borrowing the nexus, but what makes you think its rooted?
[EVO 4G General] Gilg@mesh:
hehe 7 months after the Nexus One and still the Nexus One keeps up! :)
[EVO 4G General] teihoata:
Superuser is in the menu.

He should have turned off the live wallpaper, froyo is so much quicker than the iphone lol it seems he made the home screen look as ugly as possible, who actually uses that clock..

All my mac loving friends complained when the nexus one came out that it only beats the iphone 3gs in speed because it was made later, now they are speechless :cool:
[EVO 4G General] shaunm1989:
i like how he says the phone has big capasitivie button issues, mine are perfect? i hit them correctly and work every single time without fault?

and please, laggy pinch to zoom? How about turning off plugin's always on and switch to on demand so both web pages he compared didnt have flash, Pinch to zoom is smooth, not so much when u have 5 flash objects playing
[EVO 4G General] tanman1975:
Exactly how does navigation end in a draw? Does iPhone have turn by turn navigation? :)

I suppose he meant UI navigation, but nice that he skipped a key feature of Nexus One during the comparison process.

This weekend I had dinner with someone who had the iphone 4. She tried to show me the face talk feature. Of course, it didn't work because there was no wi fi. I offered to let her tether off my lowly N1 to demo it.

She was not amused.
[EVO 4G General] j.bruha:
In this video, we compare a 7 month old phone to one just released.

I didn't watch the video. I don't care. All i know is my phone doesn't lose reception when i hold it and i have a real homescreen.
[EVO 4G General] Austin021296:
When the Nexus one was released im pretty sure they compared it to the Iphone 3gs which at the time was about 7 months old.
[EVO 4G General] Gilg@mesh:
yes but the Nexus One RAPED the 3GS, imo the iPhone 4 don't RAPE the Nexus One :)
[EVO 4G General] hexix:
The multitouch buttons on my Nexus One (and I'm pretty sure all of them judging by what I've read) are finicky. There seems to be an exact spot you need to hit but it's much higher than you would think. It also causes the problem of accidentally triggering a button when you're doing something like typing on the keyboard. Really poor design choice in my opinion. You may hit yours correctly every single time, but there are tons of people who don't and using physical buttons would have made it register the press 100% correctly every single time.

I did leave a post on youtube mentioning that the sluggish zooming is due to having flash plugins on the page. I do think that would be worth mentioning in a comparison like this, but the other side of the argument is you need to make a product just work. If there are cases where the phone performs crappy then most users aren't going to care why it's happening.

I am impressed that even with flush plugins enabled the nexus one still loaded pages slightly faster than the iPhone4. Would be interesting to see the same thing without flash enabled on the Nexus One.
[EVO 4G General] ArtieQ:
Jon4lakers is an idiot.
[EVO 4G General] bpm2000:
You just have to realize the audience (didn't watch the video) - when iphone users compare and contrast they don't, and won't be messing around with settings and features and tweaks and whatnot. This is not how iphone users operate, so they are going to compare how the phone works and feels out of the box. What's a boon to us may be a difficulty for them. Don't get me wrong here, as I'm not equating them to idiots who don't know a good thing and can't even operate a settings menu - I think many of them just want a simplified experience in ernest. Some of them take the defense of it a little too far (for example, if it lacks it, it doesn't need it mentality).

The capacitive buttons on the N1 suck and that's just the truth, just as there are issues with damn near every apple hardware in batches or runs that they will just deny and quietly admit to when the cycle is long over.
[EVO 4G General] gratti:
He didnt even mentioned the notification system, witch android kicks the **** out of the IOS. Aside the front facing camera, I think there's not 1 single real point that the iPhone 4 really beats the N1, and ya we are talking of a brand new phone againts a 7 months older phone hehe.
[EVO 4G General] arcticreaver:
after playing with my friend's iphone over the weekend, i can say that the screen resolution and the cameras are a lot better than the nexus one. notifications wise, all android phones will rape the iphone in that aspect.

in terms of using the phone, i found that the iphone 4 is just that much smoother when browsing through menus and screen and using apps.

but i have to say i'm still on 2.1 since there are no OTA updates for the epe54b users.

i just might get the iphone but that would of course depends on how well 2.2 works out for me.
[EVO 4G General] commodoor:
I use the android clock and it looks cool on mine ;)

This was exactly also how i thought. turn the flash off and see the zoom then you will see differents. this was the reason why i removed the flash, atleast till it works a little better.

there is a huge difference between 2.1 and 2.2 you will use it and love it ;)
[EVO 4G General] Austin021296:
Very true. Give the iphone 4 a few more months and it will be behind every other phone the only thing it leads in now is the screen resolution.
[EVO 4G General] clickwir:
I think since he was an 'iphone user' he was biased in a few rounds. Maybe I'm biased, but I think the Nexus was the clear winner.

I realize that to some, the front facing camera is a feature. To me it is a waste and if any phone I own had one, it would be covered with tape. I don't ever want a front facing camera.

To me, a front camera is actually a negative.
[EVO 4G General] gapton:
Who knows

Maybe Steve Jobs will release a $29 rubber band that not only dries glue real fast, change your skin's conductivity, plays flash and unlock your phone :)

i'm from Hong Kong..... and guess how much iPhone 4 is selling here

"early-bird" price (imported from US/UK as iPhone 4 is not yet available here) : $2400

You were like, huh????

YES, US DOLLARS DUDE

TWO THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED US DOLLAR

and everyone have to "just avoid holding it in that way"

how happy am i with my US529 Nexus One
[EVO 4G General] ericc191:
It seemed like a pretty fair review coming from an iPhone user. You guys should be thankful to Apple. I would never own an Apple product(prefer linux), but would we even have Windows Phone 7 coming if the whole iEra didn't exist? Or would we still be stuck on 5.0 and beta Androids?

[Touch HD General] ilazic:
Hi guys!!

Is there any way to full format htc hd device without using task29?

Two weeks ago I flashed ROM via SD card, and since then ActiveSync doesn't work and I can't establish connection with my HTC HD and computer.

Now I can flash ROM only through an SD card. When I get into Bootloader mode does not recognize USB, but remains on the Serial....

Hard reset does not help because it only erase contacts, emails and other crap. I need something to wipe the device.

Any possible ideas??!!! Please....
[Touch HD General] Sopis:
didnt you by any chance disable USB connection in your activesync settings?

check that, maybe that prevents you from connecting...

if that's not the case, try updating your drivers...

if that fails, then AFAIK Task29 is the only way to format your device...
[Touch HD General] ilazic:
I tried to change everything in USB2PC and it didn't work. I took the device to servis and the repairman told me that he doesn't know what is the problem. He thought that maybe some port is broken or something like that and will replace it but none of that. Everything in device works fine. That he told me.

I think I made a mistake. When I flashed ROM via SD it all went great but in the end (after message: update complete 100%) I didn't make a soft reset. Instead I pulled the battery out to re-started device. Could it be the reason?!?!

So this AFAIK task29... what does it mean?!?!

how can i do this?! can you be more specific, some steps or something... please

and thank you for reply

oh yes, and i forgot to mention, when I connect device to PC it start to chargining battery normaly so can't be problem with USB cable as well
[Touch HD General] Sopis:
be sure to check your activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center settings...click the settings for mobile device or similiar and make sure Allow USB connection is checked...

AFAIK means "as far as I know"..

Task29 is a process with which you can completely erase your system partition...this little process solves a lots of issues..

Let me help you out.

First of all, connect your phone via USB to computer in bootloader.

Run USPL

Download the attached package - it is Task29 with Blackstone Radio 1.17

Extract archives and run Task29.exe

Follow the instructions - it is the same as flashing process

After task29 your phone will reboot but wont boot because there is no OS.

Take out battery and get into bootloader again.

Connect to PC via USB, run USPL and flash your favorite ROM.

I recommend Topix or Duttys.

Let me know if this worked out for you.

PS: Sorry that there are so many archives but I could not get it to smaller size :D

PS: Also do not forget to backup the data!!! this erases completely everything...
[Touch HD General] Raadi:
OR You can try to flash a Stock ROM from SD ... :D probably works like Task29
[Touch HD General] ibeqa:
Try using MTTY. Check firs for bad blocks. There is a command that will format the device.

Check Hermes WIKI, there are a lot of explanations about MTTY and how to use it. Also there are explanations about commands. Just be careful, you can destroy your device.

As far as I know mtty works on all win devices.

Cheers
[Touch HD General] ilazic:
I can't use anything...

The device can't recognize USB when I connect usb cable with it

(it stays on SERIAL in bootloader), so I can't use task29, MTTY or similar applications or even flash new rom with RUU.

I think there is a malfunction on motherboard.

I tried to flash a stock rom with stock SPL 1.14 and this what happened:

It stays in bootloader mode with this error report

BLAC100 32M

SPL-1.14.0000

MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6

Upgrade ROM code error

Please try again (in green field)

I tried to flash stock rom again and I get error code 00028002.

Stock ROM can't be flashed through SD card so now I can't use my guarantee......
[Touch HD General] cardoso1965:
so what do you do next to fix ..sorry my ingles
[Touch HD General] silidagreat:
sollution!!

delete your previous connections in activesync, and then you need to HARDSPL your device, and after that you will be able to install romms from your sd card
[Touch HD General] jigners:
there is a Thread for Task 29 for the Blackstone, please refer to it to minimize

redundancy.

As per above post, please use existing Task29 thread

I have been trying to find the Xperia X10 pre-loaded ringtones on the internet for quite some time now and have failed miserably. Can anyone point me in the right direction or even better, upload the stock ringtones that come shipped with the Xperia?

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X10 General] sl1nk3:
You can find them on your phone in /system/media/audio/, they're in the ogg forma.

Use ES File Explorer or Astro to copy them to your SD ;)

[Android Software Development] Martyn.h:
Hey,

I'm the first employee in the mobile team at my work and they've asked me to provide a list of hardware for dev/testing purposes that I will need.

This got me really excited and I put together a little list; I was wondering if you guys could check it out and let me know if you think I've missed anything. The thing I've got to consider is that I'm going to need a wide range of popular handsets that I can test our apps out on, including laptops and tablets :) I'm interested to know what you guys would consider to be the essential handsets out there currently and coming up.

Currently I have:

Nexus one

HTC Desire, Hero, Dream, Incredible, Legend, Evo 4G

Samsung Galaxy S

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Xperia X10 Mini

Dell Streak

Motorola Droid, Droid X

Have I got all the essential hardware? What else would you be tempted to include and why?

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] Mast3rpyr0:
I think your covered with the dell streak, but the Archos runs android. And the ICD gemini and/or NotionInk ADAM will hopefully be out by the end of the year, so i owuld get those as well. Im really jealous that you can just have all those devices lol.
[Android Software Development] Martyn.h:
Oh...good call on the Archos! I'll stick that down along with the ICD and damn, if the vids are anything to go by the NotionInk Adam looks amazing!

I'm sure I'm not going to get everything that I ask for, but to say I am pretty excited is an understatement.

OK, I've added these to the list:

ICD Vega, Gemini

NotionInk ADAM

entourage eDGe

Spring Design Alex

Acer Inc Aspire One D250

So does this cover most popular phones, tablets and other devices, do you think?
[Android Software Development] gotwake424:
Just saying that the Archos can't see protected apps in the market place

I'm jealous of your list :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhrhee:
Hi, there.

Recently I experienced an odd thing on my HD2 which's using RSTG rom.

Among apps in my HD2, not in all but in some apps, I guess, app disappeared

in a sudden after a while when it was minimized. :eek:

For example, I ran mdict app for using dictionary and opened another english txt

file. And then, when I met a word to check out, I found myself there was no

mdict app. It just disappeared even if I didn't close it. :confused:

Do you have any experience like this? If so, how did you solve it?

I can't find any clue for this problem. :(
