[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bassman4LF:
:confused: Is it possible to unroot your phone without your usb connection working anymore? I plug my phone into my computer which is running Windows XP Media Center edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3 and it says USB Device not recognized. I tried to manually update the driver in the device manager but it tells me that the specified location does not contain information about your hardware and I verified that they are the drivers for my hero. I even tried a new cable to eliminate that as a problem but I still have the same issues. To give it one last try I plugged it into my laptop Running Windows Vista and also came up with usb device not recognized. I would like to return my phone to Sprint so I can get the usb connection problem fixed but I need to unroot the phone first. PLEASE HELP! - Josh
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sainthooligan:
you can "re-flash" the stock .img files from Better Terminal. I lucked out on my last phone that went completely dead for no reason I knew of. The techs couldn't revive my rooted phone, so I got a replacement.

Since then, I do a "watered down" root - @xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694572

Without having to wipe everything clean and start from scratch- Flashing the stock and removing root works for me through this:

I copied unrevoked and RA1.6.2 to my sdcard. Use step 7 & 8 (sh /sdcard/unrevoked and flash the RA recovery img). After reboot, I make a nand backup.

For me anyway- by doing none of the rest, it allows me to remove the apps I want to remove and allows me to reflash the stock 2.1 recovery image. I can then update to .6 if necessary to seal it up...flashing the recovery image can be done from the phone using Better Terminal as well.

The only reason I prefer it this way is, I don't want to use a custom ROM and I only want to pull some of the unecessary (for me) apps out. I'll back it up and if need be, I am 1 step closer to "unrooting" it.

I know, I know...but to each his own...I've taken a rooted phone in (no custom ROM) with a speaker issue- no hassles. I've taken a rooted phone in for dust under the screen, way back when- and had to argue the point that ROMS and rooting had nothing to do with a defect in manufacturing that caused the dust under the screen (was able to get a replacement just slightly after my 30 days was up).... So when this last one was completely dead - I thought for sure it was going to cost me.

Long Lost Thank You!

I tried that and it totally worked. I appreciate the detailed feedback. I just realized I never commented back! Now I have an EVO and I just put MIUI on it, can't wait to try it out. Thanks again! :-P

hello i have a problem i usually use my phone to play music ... now when my phone locks i have to unlock it with my pattern and ect to skip songs its aggravating ... does anyone know a fix for this ?? thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Yeah there kind of is. You can remap some buttons to act as pause/play and next track. I made it so I can press the Search button to go to the next track and the Call button to play/pause.

You can learn how to do it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695936

Read the whole thing. Somewhere in the middle towards the end it goes over the commands for music control. Make sure you pay attention to the last sentence:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killacammiami:
thanks alot im going to try to understand this ...... but whats up with the original one .... that pops up on the lock screen is there any way i can add that one ... its more easier lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Sorry, doubt there is a way to access anything before the lock pattern; that's why the lock pattern is there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killacammiami:
oo even when there was no pattern....the pop up music player still isnt there :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
What rom are you running? If it is sense based and you're using the htc luck screen, there will be music controls on the lock screen. If it's sense based and you're using vanilla or rotary lock screen, you're out of luck. If you're on darch droid (and probably froyo, but haven't tried), you can hold volume up or down to skip songs when screen is off, but no way to pause/play
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killacammiami:
thanks for the help ... im using darch .. and im using launcher pro ... it has the regular lock on it ... .. ur trying to tell me i need to have it on the sense home screen? thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
just hold the volume buttons to skip, and use the hard key remap to change a button to play/pause. You can set a double tap on the track ball to skip forward in the music app.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killacammiami:
,.... i just tryed to double click the ball but it didnt work .. with pattern enabled and disabled !!! ... i also have the double click feature checked in the settings of the music player.... im thinking about going to fresh ... and c if this is fixed..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killacammiami:
edit i dont have darch i have damage control ...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killacammiami:
well i switched to fresh and it works ... only problem now the widget sucks ... its that basic htc one :( eww

i think the reason it didnt work was because i was using the vanilla music player instead of the old regular music player .... solved !! In order to have the Music player while Phone is locked u Must use the older original music player to listen to music ....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bullchou:
Hi guys, I bought a sim free samsung galaxy i9000 in London last week.

Several days later, I tried to root it. Then, I got a dead i9000, stopping on the galaxy logo when try to swtich it on.

I downloaded Odin3, and tried to use different i9000 firmwares to revive my i9000. It did not work.

Everytime I try, I just got nothing. The log on Odin shows like following:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

Then nothing happens, no progress bar or other things, even one hour later.

I have tried on 3 different laptops with Win7 32bit or Win XP SP3 32bit.

I can use Android System Recovery on i9000 now, and Odin can find the phone on COM4.

Can anyone here help me to slove this problem? I do not want my i9000 to be just a brick.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cioccorollo:
did you put the phone in "download mode" while using odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bullchou:
yes. I press Home, Volume and Power buttons all at the same time, and then I got the interface of Android system recovery. I think this is the Download Mode you meant.

While in this mode, Odin can detect the Phone is on COM4.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] voodoochild2008:
download mode is volume button down, then hold home button, then power it on, hold all three and you will get a picture of android and the words download on your screen, I think what you did was volume button up/home/power, this is another mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bullchou:
You right!

I thought volume button down and up are the same.

Thank you! My i9000 is back.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] voodoochild2008:
glad to help :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ErisKlown:
my phones boot up seems to be taking longer and longer each time i install a new/different rom.a average boot up takes close to 10mins now.It even takes longer on some of the older roms i have installed and booted up with in a few mins the first time i installed them.I'm just curious if there is something to fix that or if there has been something i've been doing i shouldn't have.i wipe data/factory and Delvik before each fresh install of a new rom,ive never used the A2SD........any ideas??
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
That's weird... no idea...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Hah I disabled JIT and the phone's a million times faster.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
But still too slow to play >_> but definitely faster by a few fps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nimdae:
Are you clearing the Dalvik cache when you install a new rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Lemcott:
JIT is pointless. through all my experience and most of the people I have talked to, JIT does nothing the end user can feel. it makes your number higher on linpack scores... wow, but for what price? breaking lots of applications and generally making the phone slower for the end user... no thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
its 50-50 atp i know my device runs noticably faster with JIT enabled, my browser reacts faster, my screen scrolling is smoother, applications open a bit faster, now mind you when i say noticably faster im not saying 75% im talking more along the lines of 25% increase. my linpacks are still around the upper 4MFLOPS with JIT disabled but as you see listed running kaosFroYo im getting great numbers and some people are reporting faster than mine.

but your question is that geared towards fresh install boot ups? or everytime you boot up?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
I meant to post my disabled jit thing in another topic... only just noticed it was posted here... lol

as for my feelings on JIT I have another topic in general where I explain pros and cons.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ErisKlown:
Both.....i can understand it maybe slow on fresh install since its the first time booting.But its slow on every boot up.For example when i was first running(about a month or so ago) Aloysius,fresh install boot up took about 5-7mins or so, and only a couple mins to boot it up any other time.but the last week or so,i have switched to a different rom,decided i didnt care for it and went back to aloysius.First boot up took about 10mins or so.so i powered down,flashed my Droid X keyboard and booted back up again and noticed it took just as long again.So i tried switching out to EE 3.0 and same thing happens,so im assuming its something in the phone.i have tried pulling the battery to see if maybe that would help in some way but still it takes 10mins or more to boot up any rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ironicmind13:
I know EE has had a slow boot up time for my phone, but that's even in the instructions. I'm new to the rooting world, but from my understanding the deodex roms take a fair amount of time on the first boot due to repacking. This could be the issue you are seeing, but like I said I'm a noob
[Droid Eris Android Development] ErisKlown:
i understand the first boot up takes time but its every boot up even after ive had the same rom for weeks.but it shouldnt take just as long or longer for a boot up of a rom that has been installed for a week.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Hungry Man:
Do you have any apps that may activate at boot up? Autorun killer for example?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
give an AOSP/Vanilla rom a shot if your unsatisfied with your sense based boot times. aosp is naturally lighter and should boot faster either way. But make sure to do full wipe/dalvik wipe before you flash any rom its the safest way to do it. otherwise your bringing things from your old rom to the new one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ErisKlown:
Not sure what i did but between changing my splash screen(the 3 skateboard androids) and the nandroid restore to a old rom i backed up,my phone seems to be booting up like it used to.thank you for everyones input.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
From my experience rom does not make that much of a difference, but the kernel does. Whenever I want to play a game, I use this:

-CM based 2.6.34 kernel with BFS

-Cyanogen 5.0.8 test4

-No sound

-All tasks killed before the game starts (by menu-> applications->running processes)

-Overclocked at 691 min/max (Universal overclock, and always plugged in)

I've also heard that HTC 1.5 roms are very good but I am more then happy with with the frame rates I get on RT2. The above set up get 30.2 FPS on neocore. I need to try some froyo gaming to see if the official git helps it some (its supposed to help with big applications like browser so I'm assuming it will help with 3D performance too). I've found that you can overclock higher/stable-er when plugged in then on battery alone.

Hello everyone. Im new to the forums. And before anyone says "search the forums" I have searched all over for the answered to theses questions. (found out a lot of other stuff in the process) But could not find the answeres to theses ones.

Little background. This is my 1st Android phone. Although i have played around with friends phones. Im loving the phone and all that it can do.

I have the Black Slide. And yes it is rooted. (Thanks for that guide) I do have TasKiller and Auto Killer

Here are my questions.

1. I have the App TasKiller for closing down running apps. Now when i turn the phone on in the moring and give it a few min to fully boot up. I will go into TKer and close everything down. Q: Why does EVERYTHING start up and is there a way to keep things from staring when the phone does.

2. After the boot up of the day. And after the TKing of the apps. I will go right back into TKer and half of what i just closed is running again. And it will take 3 -4 TKing's to keep everything closed down. Q:Why does it do this and is there a way to stop it.

2.5 Ive noticed that a few apps inpaticular (Maps, Settings, Mail) Like to start up all day long. My quess is that another app i was using required them. BUT I never use the Mail app/widget i use the Gmail one. And i only open Maps when i need to. Q:Why are theses apps/widgets openng themselves all day??

3. WTF is TmoContacts and how do i get rid of it. It loads up all morning and is const syncing. Ive turned off all the synicing except Gmail in the settings but this one still comes up all the time.

4. How do i remove the junk Tmobile put on there such as AmazonMP3 (this one i searched all over for but cant find a thread on it.)

Thanks guys sorry for the essay lol. Hope you guys are able to help me with these because then i will have the perfect phone.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but there is probably a link in here somewhere that will go in detail about ADB, but to pull, you just type in your command line, or Terminal(using a Mac):

adb pull [remote] [local]. If you're using a Mac, just add ./ in front of the command.

For any other ADB commands, you could always type in adb help and it will give you a list of commands you can use with ADB.

Is there a registry hack or other way to add options to the download messages from the past xx days pull down? 7 days is not long enough and 30 days is to long. I would like to be able to add options for 10 and 14 days if possible.

Hi i had the same problem, in my case the volume down was hanging i used some compressed air to blow on the button and it was released aigain.

You can try to start your phone by pussing the power button en then the keypad down button when your phone starts, then i am pretty sure that is is a stuck (dirt) volume down button, It also when the phone is started drains the battery.
