[Liquid S100 General] HustlinDaily:
Does your PC recognize your phone?

So after the phone booted into bootloader, you did the install-superboot-windows and your phone rebooted to a blank screen?

If your computer does not recognize the phone, try to reboot into recovery and see if it recognizes it there:

1) Remove your battery and put it back in (leave the back cover off to make things faster/easier. I believe USB should be unplugged, not 100% sure. I think it was last time I did it)

2) Hold down Volume Down+Camera+Power. Phone should vibrate 2-3 times

3) Press power as if you are turning on the phone

This should get you into recovery (which I am assuming is stock recovery. You should see a picture of a little Android and a Caution sign in the middle of the screen). Plug in your USB and see if the Acer Flashing Tool recognizes it from there, if it does, re-flash the bin and try the process over.

I rooted my phone by installing Liquid Community Rom and following these steps here- http://code.google.com/p/acer-liqui...cker/wiki/HowToRootAndFlashLiquidCommunityROM .

Honestly, it is much easier to go about that way. And LCR is really good (it incorporates features from standard Android UI as well as the UI from the upcoming Acer Stream. Completely configurable plus features like Dolby Mobile and native DiVix player). If you don't like it, after installing, your phone would already be rooted with the latest recovery image so you can easily flash a different rom.
[Liquid S100 General] unacceptable:
Thank you very much for the reply I actually ended up figuring it out. I was able to boot in to recovery mode. And used the signed community Rom to load the OS :-)
[Liquid S100 General] robertsydbrink:
Why dont they uppdate the liquid rooting page on unlockr. You have to read all the comments to not make this mistake.
[Liquid S100 General] Calcvictim:
When I updated mine I just pushed malezRecovery onto the phone with the adb shell, is superboot different from malezrecovery
[Liquid S100 General] woz246:
i did the same as 'unacceptable'.

tried what 'HustlinDaily' said.

comp not recognising phone.

if i press camera+<back with usb in, it makes a sound but doesn't detect devise.

do you know how to get it to recognise phone?
[Liquid S100 General] woz246:
found that if you up date 2 files into superboot folder, the phone will work, although not sure if phone is rooted. keep reading comments in unlocker

'TheShak' figured it out. i did what he said and phone works now.
[Liquid S100 General] pieceofplastic:
I have the same problem but I can't even get into recovery. :(
[Liquid S100 General] lith_eelaqa:
so i tried the method that was on the unlockr.com without reading all the steps. I've since upddate the 2 missing files.

But, in the meantime, I have the black screen of death.

Can someone please walk me through what to do from here on in.

THANKS!!!
[Liquid S100 General] JohnyR21:
Same problem here.. I can't start the phone, nor boot it into the boot loader. It's stuck onthe black screen after the acer logo. Can anyone help?!?!

I've been able to get into recovery mode. no android guy with a caution sign tho.

anyways run factory reset many times, still not working...:confused:

I also have the same problem, the backlight screen, I have copied a rom.zip file to SD card and it started to update but after a while ıt stopped with the error "E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 2) Installation failed.

My evo was vibrating with sms and calls and now since it won't vibrate when receiving a message. The settings are on but it still won't work. I've tried numerous sms apps and they don't vibrate ethier. Is there anyway to fix this. Is anyone else having this probkem. Thanks for ur help in advance
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
try wiping your data and reflashing, maybe that will fix it
[EVO 4G General] parousia15:
Instead of starting from scratch, go to the market and download an app called sound manager. Once you're in it hit menu>vibrate settings then chose the setting you want. I have mine set to "vibrate only when silent." works for me
[EVO 4G General] appzattak:
same problem here, I really don't wanna wipe but I'm afraid that is the only fix. My friend has an Incredible that had the same prob and VZW wiped it for her and it worked again....I would rather figure out why it has happened to prevent it from happening again.
[EVO 4G General] edisepic:
The sound manager program worked thanks for everything I chose vibrate whenever possible and it worked. Gotta love the internet and the people in it.I'm knew to android os is there Any recommended apps or games I should get
[EVO 4G General] metayoshi:
Oh wow, I had the exact same problem. This problem was obvious to me as soon as I upgraded to OTA 1.47.(insert rest of numbers here) last week. Plus it broke my Microsoft Exchange syncing. That was the day I decided to root my phone as soon as possible since I don't think I can rely on Sprint/HTC to push out a fix or upgrade without breaking something.

Now I'm happily running a rooted EVO with Damage Control 3.2.3.

I searched but could not find a way to fix this.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Just curious but do you have a sound file attached to SMS notifications ?

And if you do , one of the stock sounds or a custom one?
[HD2 General] datzent83:
I do have a sound attached to SMS notifications, and its a stock sound. Can that cause the freezing of the phone when receiving a new message?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
I have seen it when it is a custom sound, from the SD card ... but you know just to check maybe turn off the notifications and have a friend send you a message and see if it freezes without a sound attached ....

A vacation is a good test for a new phone. It isn't always difficult to hold up to day to day needs, but the demands of a smartphone on a vacation are much greater. For this 4th of July weekend I took the EVO to Baltimore and had a great experience with it. Baltimore is 4G-enabled, so speeds on things like maps and YouTube were noticeably faster. I basically used the phone for everything from the time I left my house:

- Google Maps nav was amazing and accurate, the GPS signal always picked up immediately and remained strong (something that definitely can't be said for all past devices)

- streamed music locally and from Slacker over 3G the entire time in the background without any hiccups

- further used maps and Where to find good places to eat and waking directions to get there

- forgot to charge my point and shoot (as usual) so used the phone camera a ton for pictures and video at the National Aquarium, they came out great and battery life was also very good

- made excellent use of 4G and kickstand to watch YouTube videos in bed at night, again 4G did not seem to drain the battery especially fast

- and of course sent out emails, did some other web browsing, etc.

Overall I was impressed with how the performance of the phone kept up with me and how useful all the features were. The huge screen was so handy and made it easier to show other people things, wouldn't want to go back to a smaller one now. If anyone comes across this and is on the fence about getting this device, I wouldn't hesitate!
[EVO 4G General] robpet2:
Are you rooted? And its good to see someone use the Evo on a real test like a vacation.
[EVO 4G General] LearnIIBurn:
I have to totally agree with OP. I went all around California this weekend from San Diego to Santa Barbara just handlin business! My EVO was my best friend and made me some new friends as well. Battery life was great, GPS was priceless, Pandora blasting all the time (super loud). Had an awesome vacation and couldn't have done it without my homie in my pocket. Evo rules.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
I'm in San Diego right now on vacation with my EVO. Everything has been great so far! GPS was very useful and I can't even tell you how much faster everything is than my iPhone 3G. I open maps and it loads and GPS locks on instantly. Everything was just so fast.

Right now I have it tethered to my laptop so I can post this here and so I could upload some pictures from my DSLR to my Dropbox account and to clear my memory card.

To in summary... the EVO is awesome.

It could only have been better if there was 4G coverage here (of course it wouldn't matter since I've since jacked up my 4G... )
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Nice timing on this thread. I went to vegas and got a taste of 4g myself.

I got like 7mbps when in the right spot but too much fluctuation

Swyped from my Evo 4G
[EVO 4G General] DrawnToScale:
Hey OP,

While in Baltimore (my hometown), did you notice how many bars of 4G you were getting? Did you at any time measure your bandwidth? I love my Evo, but I'm finding the 4G coverage in Baltimore is spotty and only sometimes faster than 3G.
[EVO 4G General] r546:
Nope, not rooted. Pretty happy with the stock ROM with Sense and haven't wanted to do anything that requires root yet.

Yeah I can't speak enough about how quickly the GPS locks and how accurate it seemed to be. Way better than my Pre and I think even better than my old Garmin! Won't be needing to take that out again anytime soon.

Nice to hear! I'm going to Vegas myself in a little over three weeks! I'm sure I'll be finding the 4G very useful. Any attractions or bars I shouldn't miss?

When indoors I sometimes lost the 4G completely or dropped to one or two bars. Outside I had anywhere from one to full depending on location, but this was mostly directly around the Inner Harbor. I did measure bandwidth, consistently got between 2.5 to 3 Mbps. This is at least twice as fast if not more than I usually get with 3G (Sprint's 3G speeds are pretty good).

Hello Guys,

I did searched the threads for creating bootanimation. i pulled one from froyo roms and did exactly the same way it was made in the rom.

txt part0 part1

made 256 x 256 frames and used uncompressed zip and pushed it but all i got was a black screen. according to the text file pixels are 480 480, i even tried 480 854 but no luck.

any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
After I made my first bootanimation, it did that.

But it turns out I used compression. Second time, didn't do compression,

but I zipped the 'bootanimation' folder rather than the 'contents' folder.

If you just want to start, download a preexisting one (I did the inverted splash) and then make your images, replace the images already there, and go.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam2010:
I did as u mentioned. I didnt compress it. I used the store option n zipped it. Would u plz tell me what pixel did u use for ur images n the text file?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmarazzi86:
This can actually be a complicated process as you have to use a certain Zip software to make this to work. If you are running Windows, you cannot use the windows provided software as it compresses the files. I used 7zip, which I feel is the easiest to use. This software actually lists "Add to archive." Once you select that, Archive Format should be Zip and Compression Level should be Store. If you are using Winzip, it does not list Add to archive so stick with 7zip for custom boot animations.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seeking:
is it possible to go back to the stock boot animation or do you have to save a copy before doing so?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmarazzi86:
Anything is possible with N1. I would recommend moving the original bootanimation to another folder on your phone, but if you overwrite it you can always just download the original online.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam2010:
I understand it should be uncompressed zip. my guess im not doing something right in making frames. i named them correctly and made pixels 256 x 256. i even mixed it with droid images, so I could at least see those images if my doesnt work, still no luck. I attached my zip file, I appreciate if you guys take a look and tell me what im i have done wrong :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmarazzi86:
Ok I re did the bootanimation for you. Try and see if it works.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam2010:
Actually this works! Thanks :)

however, i tried to change your txt value from 256 to 480 and slow down the frame rate and still the animation is small. I wish I could make it bigger. here is one of the bootanimations i extracted from Froyo Rom, it has same values but looks larger in boot. do you know how?

btw I appreciate if you tell me what does 0 and 1 value mean in txt file

Thanks alot :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmarazzi86:
in order to change the size of the animation make sure that the picture is 256(x) x 480(y) first and then change the value in the desc.txt to 256(x) and 480(y). the values in the desc.txt have to do with the looping of the boot animation.

I am an Android Developer, but so far I've avoided rooting my phone or trying custom kernels, but lately I get the feeling I could learn so much more by really getting behind the curtain so to speak. I keep reading that if you root the phone you may void your warranty and no longer get over the air updates.

I'm on AT&T an paid full price for my Nexus One. I also got the phone engraved so I'm wondering what value if any the warranty actually has. Is it worth mucking around with custom kernels on the Nexus one, or should I get a cheaper dev phone like the G1 ?

Looking forward to hearing advice from other developers and what you've learned versus the risks involved.

Oh, Do you still get OTA updates as well?

I'm interested in hearing from people who decided the warranty was or was not work the risk. Looks pretty easy from what I can see.

Thanks all.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmagruder:
Does using the technique of not unlocking the bootloader also mean you can run custom ROMs and/or recoveries? Or just gain root access to the stock ROM?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WebghostDK:
You

CAN

root your Nexus One without losing your warrenty.

I had my bootloader Unlocked, then i got a issue with mounting SD cards.

I sent the phone to HTC Repair center and just got it back today with the issues gone and Bootloader locked :)

Unlocking your Nexus One bootloader does void your warrenty with HTC, but if you experience hardware issues, they dont care if you unlocked your bootloader !!

By unlocking your Bootloader you can put whatever ROM on your phone you like, doesn't have to be stock :)

About the OTA's.

Yes you will get them if you run Stock ROM's.

You will not be able to install them however since you are not using a stock recovery image.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmcm:

I've had the HTC Aria for about four days now and my biggest issues is the battery drains to quickly. At first I attributed it to use because android phones prompt you to use them more often. However, even without use it still drains pretty rapidly. Does anyone know of a solution to this issue software wise. I have already turned off Bluetooth, GPS and Wifi. Are there other solutions
[HTC Aria General] seboj:
I got mine on Saturday, and I've actually gotten pretty good battery life out of it. I'm still in the habit of charging it every night, like I had to do with my old WinMo phone, but I think I could probably go two days without a charge. And that's with GPS / data always on, Wifi parts of the day, and pretty heavy use, since I'm always playing with it.

Have you tried something like Advanced Task Killer to keep apps closed that you aren't using? You can also adjust your screen brightness and timeout to try and save power.
[HTC Aria General] vincecr:
It says that of my power is used by cellular idle or something like that 50% of it was used by that. Could it be my AT&T service
[HTC Aria General] struff:
I don't get more than 10 hours out of mine. When I know I will be out all day, I turn the screen brightness almost all the way down to help conserve energy.
[HTC Aria General] OutsiderWV:
Good as it Gets.

With basic usage (some texting, a few calls and some market browsing or playing a game here and there) about 2 to 2.5 days without charging. Maybe the ones having issues with there phone sucking battery have to many widgets running.

In my current configuration I am only using 3 of my screens and only 3 widgets [favorites (small one), HTC clock/weather widget, and the HTC calendar widget (small)]. I have my work email checking every 30 minutes for syncing. I also have gmail and the default mail app pulling mail. I run ATK but only to kill apps on startup (cause it runs almost everything), other than that you don't need a task killer as you will have to reload these tasks next time and that will drain battery. I don't use it after that to kill anything. I am also running my screen at about 30% brightness.

Just some tips, widgets are nice, but they suck the battery life as well as constant updates. Check to see what you are running and disable/remove what is not needed or adjust sync times.
[HTC Aria General] glitterbug:
My battery life is fine. I got two days over the weekend with light usage. You need to look at what services are running and disable any widgets that you dont need. You may also want to look at the sync settings and turn off things you dont use (such as news). You do not need a task killer.
[HTC Aria General] glitterbug:
Also, see this post:
[HTC Aria General] FtaWolf:
Also one might do *#*#4636#*#* then change phone setting from WCDMA to GSM .... Then that get little more out of battery... :cool:
[HTC Aria General] hi2u2:
It's critical that you turn off auto-sync; I have found that it absolutely destroys battery life.

Before I was losing maybe 5-10% every hour on standby, but ever since turning off auto-sync, I'm still sitting at 100% battery after 5 hours of standby.

Turning off mobile data/Wi-Fi doesn't make an impact on battery life, in my experience.
