[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyletjackson:
I know that everyone has problems with the battery but I've never seen anything like this. I used to barely be able to squeeze 8 hours out of it but it keeps getting worse. The battery is always really hot, running at around 40 degrees celsius and depletes itself pretty rapidly. I've been off the charger for 2 and a half hours and I'm already down to 48%. Has anyone else seen this or had it this bad? I've searched the forums here and at PPC Geeks but to no avail. I'm running Fresh ROM 0.3.x. I haven't had time to update but it's on the to-do list for today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyletjackson:
And it's dead. 4 and a half hours. PoS.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Try Damage Control. Battery life is pretty good. Set profile in Dconfig to battery saver. Even overclocked battery is pretty good. No matter what though, if you're power using the phone (games,internet,etc) its usually only gonna last a few hours. Task managers help also.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workingaplan:
Mine was a little warm when I first got it (power using while playing!); I took it to Sprint techs and they investigated. Mine was normal due to high use, but there WAS a known issue with some bad batteries, and they were ready to jump in and replace mine if it had shown those symptoms.

Now rooted, running DC ROM on mixed battery savings/performance profile...perfect. No issues. At least 18 hrs per charge with fairly heavy phone use.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tauzins:
what were the "symptoms"? i would like to know...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewmungus:
Try clearing your battery stats. I had the same problem(crazy warm battery and really bad battery life)

I did it through the recovery(clockworkmod) go to advanced then wipe battery stats. theres other ways to do it too just search around here and you'll find them.

When i attempt to restore any app i've backed up on the sd card via titanium backup it wont restore them. It goes through, acts like it installed but when i reboot the phone and do the above mentioned things it just doesnt show up...

I should mentioned i came from stock rooted EVO 4G 1.3x ROM

Anyone ever heard of this problem before?

ANother thing its now doing is i was able to get the apps to show up in market, however they show as installed... until i click on the app then it asks me to install it.

Friggin weird.

anyone at all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
That's a weird one. I've been using Titanium quite a bit lately with no problems. You might just have to wipe and start over. Have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling Titanium? Its also possible there's a problem with your SD card. Do you have another one you could test with?

SD card as far as i know has no problems, ill try with a new one.

Thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigphilwastaken:
im having the same problem. i have unknown sources checked, reflashed a couple times, and have even re-rooted. it works perfectly in both fresh and OMJ, but DC just fails. if you install the apps manually and then do a restore of app+data, it will restore the data properly, but it fails when you try to install from the backup.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyRCode:
Same problem here...Fresh, Calkulin's EviO, Baked Snack, and Toasted Delight ROMs have all been able to restore just fine using Titanium Backup.

It's too bad...I really wanted to try DCs ROM, but I'm not gonna go through installing all my missing apps and setting up all the screens again.

Has anyone found a way to fix this yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud858rk:
Just make a nandroid backup, wipe, and try out DC 3.2.3 yourself. 99% chance everything will be fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyRCode:
The problem isn't loading the ROM. I'm able to install DC after doing a full wipe...it seems to be the only ROM that causes problem when trying to do a full Titanium Backup restore.

- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then press and hold the 'volume down' and 'end' (red) buttons followed by the power button

- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'

Please, can you tell me how to set Vodafone 845 into bootloader mode?

Hi all, i bought this phone from vodafone but there's some annoying apps that are replacing the stock one's. Does rooting solve this problem? i want a clean android 2.1 on this phone with none of these vodafone stuff. I've read rooting permits one installing other android roms.....

regards all,
[Android Software Development] Maxrunner:
this happens to me even after checking usb debug. the super user permissions doesnt show anything.
[Android Software Development] Maxrunner:
What do you mean by root explorer? is this an app in the menu?
[Android Software Development] rictec:
some answers

for those of you with questions over and over aggain

- Rooting the phone is to have access for a root user ...you dont have that user access if you dont root .....its like havng access to administrator on windows got this?

- so having root access is having administrator access to the phone.

-you can root the phone doing this steps

- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory

- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then press and hold the 'volume down' and 'end' (red) buttons followed by the power button (the hour glass is normal it will stay there )

- if you are doing it on windows xp ...wait for the android usb device to appear then do the rest.

- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'

- root explorer its on the market and you have to already rooted the phone its a root explorer it will do a command like "change to root" su root and if you didn't root it will fail of course.

- the icon root that appears its just a command it doesn't do anything by itself its the sudo comand

hope this helps

Vodafone 845 on Mac OS X (10.6)

Hi all!

For those that own a 845 and want to develop on it using Mac OS X, you'll have to get rid of the ZeroCD crap that makes it unable for adb to detect your device.

For Linux you can use usb_modeswitch but on OS X that doesn't seem to work. Anyway, I've found this post "hxxp://anti.teamidiot.de/nusse/2010/08/vodafone_845huawei_u8210_on_ma/" (sorry to mods but the forum isn't letting me post links) that has a useful command or an apk for the same effect. All you gotta do is root your phone (I used the guide for Pulse Mini) and then either download the apk and install it or run the command (I went with the apk) and that's it, adb immediately recognizes the device (try "adb devices" to check).

Maybe there could be a section for Vodafone 845. Vodafone doesn't support anything but Windows so people with other OSes are left to fend on their own. A specific section could help...

I already bought my Sony Ericsson X10 mini and I like to hear some advices about apps and games, and also some tipos:

- What GPS should I install (do you advise to install maps in SD to not use the 3G when using the GPS)?

- What applications do you use to synchronize contacts and calendar from Outlook?

- Which application do you advise to "kill" memory from time to time?

- We can install applications or games in SD? (If yes, what are the differences in installing in memory or in SD?)

- What are the best games to play in X10 mini?

Thanks for the help :)

1. There is a new Googlemaps Version, wich includes a navigation system. It is very impressive and free to get.

2. There is a so called "android-sync" software, that synchronisies your X10 mini with Outlook. It is a pre alpha version, but it works fine on my windows 7 pc without any problems

3. there are several apps, that are able, to auto-kill software in background, when your mini goes into standby. Just look for it in the android market, try some and find the best

I already bought my Sony Ericsson X10 mini and I like to hear some advices about apps and games, and also some tipos:

Try sygic for offline gps handling, accurate and works very well to lock the gps satelites

- What applications do you use to synchronize contacts and calendar from Outlook?

- Which application do you advise to "kill" memory from time to time?

I use advanced task killer from android market

- We can install applications or games in SD? (If yes, what are the differences in installing in memory or in SD?)

I heard yes, but you hve to root your mini first. The advantage of using sd card to install app, you will get many app based on ur sd capacity

I am playing raging thunder and armageddon squadron.. Use ur accelerometer to handle the steer, nice games

[Vibrant General] bbwharris:
alexmullins posted the quick fix - run the adb daemon as root. Or you can modify udev so your the vibrant is mounted with the correct permissions:

Create or edit the file

/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

and add the following line:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"

Which states something like: "when a usb filesystem with vendor id of 04e8 (Samsung Vibrant) is mounted, apply the 0666 file permissions."

Double check that your vendor id matches "04e8" by running lsusb. Look for your vibrant in that list.

Hope this helps.

Is there an alarm clock app or can one be created where you can set the screen to auto dim when using the alarm clock? I used to have a BB Storm...and the alarm clock had a setting to dim the screen so the background wasnt illuminated but you could still see the time...both the PRE and the EVO dont have this setting...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SilverStone641:
easy peasy, IF you're using Sense.

1. click on your clock

2. Set your alarm with the alarm button

3. then hit the little laptop looking button

4. and Voila! you should have the below clock on your screen. it orients as well, so use that kickstand for something!!

You can also click the moon star thing and you getting a dimmed down version for night time!

Thanks SilverStone641 ...But I already know how to use the alarm clock...the issue I have is that the background is very bright...lighting up my room making it difficult to sleep...my old Storm had an auto dim feature that would gradually dim the background so it wasnt so bright keeping my room dark...I used to have to cover my PRE because it didnt auto dim either...but then U cant see the time...I figured this could be done with android apps...maybe not???

Is there a way to make an alarm app that has such a feature?

Mind sharing the source or proof of this? or is it just FUD?

If your version of Swype stopped working it is because each version has a kill date built in and you are trying to use or install it after that date.

The version posted elsewhere on the boards works just fine.
[Captivate General] arwalker:
Hello everyone,

I got my Captivate yesterday shipped from letstalk.com. Everything with it has been working well, except I don't get a data connection with it at all, except WiFi.

As instructed by the sticker on the box the sim I am using is from my old phone, a Samsung SGH-A707 flip phone. The sim is a little over two years old. When the sim is in that phone, I get a 3G icon immediately.

I have tried turning the phone off, leaving it for several minutes, turning it back on again. Also removing the battery.

When I go to Settings, Wireless and Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, I see ATT WAP listed. I have tried adding another Access Point Network based on settings seen elsewhere in this forum which differed slightly by specifying a username and password, and not having the proxy and port set. But selecting this other APN has no change.

When I go to Network Operators all I see is an unselectable 'Default Setup' item. Others have reported seeing network connection information there, can anyone confirm on their Captivate?

Checking or unchecking 'Data roaming' does not seem to have any effect.

Under Settings, About Phone, Status the Mobile Network Type is listed as 'HSDPA' but Mobile Network State is 'Disconnected'.

LetsTalk are sending me a new SIM to try, but since I get a 3G connection on my old phone my suspicion is that this is a phone problem.

Does anyone have any other ideas though? Any help would be much appreciated.
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
Wow well you found something I hadn't yet. There was some talk about whether the captivate did hsdpa or not.. and according to the setting you looked at, it does. In that setting does it show your network is on aT&T? You shouldn't have to create a new APN, the default one should work. Sure you don't have the phone in airplane mode? I'm sure that's a stupid question, just asking.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
If you don't have a 3G sim card I hear 3G wont work. You can get a new sim from ATT for free. Oh and about hsdpa ATT disables that Icon and uses a 3G one. I seen a test somewhere with two dif phones one with a 3G icon and one with the H getting the same speeds.
[Captivate General] arwalker:
Yeah it shows AT&T under Network.

Nope, not in airplane mode, but thanks for checking, I'd rather you'd assume I was stupid than not ask me the question!

It is a 3G sim, at least that's what it is labeled as. Like I said I (apparently) got a 3G signal on my old phone. And a new sim is on the way.
[Captivate General] labbu63:
on the sim does it say 3G with flames around it lol (thats how my last sim was and it was 3G)
[Captivate General] jiayi345:
I went to the ATT store to get my captivate. I had an old sim ATT logo with flames that worked in a N1, N97, Bold 9700 and iPhone. I too showed no 3G. They had to replace my sim and it started working. They couldn't explain it.
