I use the spare parts app from the market. Under battery information. Though I think there is a way to view the status natively.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JKGoodrich:
Go into Settings, About Phone, Battery. It will say under "Battery Status".
[EVO 4G Accessories] Andy S:
Definitely let us know. I don't mind if I have to solder pins 2 and 3 together, though. So if it's anywhere near decent, I may get that.

Also post if it looks like it's easy to open up. I'm planning to hardwire one behind the dash, and will crack it open to do so.
[EVO 4G Accessories] stanglifemike:
Will the Evo support 2 amp charge?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ChrisDos:
All of the full size types have been really easy to open up. Only the Belkin micro charger was hard to open.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Andy S:
I ordered a car and wall charger (plus retractable cable) the other day for $4.50 shipped off of ebay. Both chargers show as AC chargers. Nothing fancy, but at least they are wired correctly.
[EVO 4G Accessories] potna:
So with these mentioned chargers you should be able to use gps. And still charge right? By charge I mean it actually charges the battery at a faster rate then it is being drained by gps, right?
[EVO 4G Accessories] tangsta35:
Success!

Ok so after a week of usage I wanted to post my results. When I first plugged in my phone, the status indicated "USB charging" and would only charge about 15% in a 30 min drive.

After the 2nd day, I ended up opening up the usb car charger and soldering pins 2 and 3 together. Now when I plug it in, it says "AC charging". Now when I drive to work it charges 31% in 30 mins.

In regards to GPS usage, it takes a big hit on the battery, I navigated to work and was only able to charge 13% in 30 mins.

The USB cable was bit of a hassle, and I would highly recommend a retractable cable like Andy S said.

Lastly, I wanted everyone to know that with the higher flow, the usb charger got pretty warm. Similarly, with heavy GPS usage, my phone felt super hot. To the point where I no longer have the battery cover on anymore. I just have it running naked in a clear TPU case. :cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] potna:
I have these different car chargers. They all produce he same results. When I drive 30 miles in roughly 30 minutes using Google navigation, my battery charges 0%.

I haven't tried to see how fast it charges while not using gps, but I will soon.

Also, when i use Google navigation I turn on the satalite layer, could this be the reason my phone isn't charging faster then it is draining....guess I could experiment and report back.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ChrisDos:
It is probably not charging in AC mode. I had the exact same problem until I modded the charger and soldered pins 2 and 3 together. Now it charges fine and is actually runs cooler because it's getting enough power.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jblank0:
i bought the SPRINT MICRO V9 CAR CHARGER from ebay it shows ac charging when using .... it was 9.95 shipped

first i startet the bootloader via the exe file from the updated ROM

but now, i have no chance to get back to win

the update of the rom wont work. the assistant on the PC simply hangs and here it stops

if i remove the akku and replace it, the startup routine of wm2003 starts and after that the ipaq went back to the bootloader :-/

how to exit this one ?

i've read about a SD-flash solution but cant find further infos, because the ipaq is a very old unit :(

hopefully someone of you could help me out

[Beetles] kettenschutz:

problem was VMWare and Windows 7

on a natively XP system the flash works fine
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordDavon:
Is it possible to install the rooted 2.2 ROM via the update.zip method or do I need to use Unrevoked/NAND Unlock and then install the rooted 2.2?

Also, since I have already installed the 2.2 "official" leaked version, is it even possible to use Unrevoked now?

Sorry for the noob questions but, I am a noob at this stuff.

LD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaediil:
If you already installed the semi-official 2.2, you are stuck for the moment, there is no way to root that version and to my understanding, no way to go back to an earlier rootable version.

-frank
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordDavon:
Thank you for the quick reply. My only issue is that my 4G isn't working after the update. I did try to apply it twice to see if that would help, but it didn't. After running it the second time, the phone did seem to run smoother.

Maybe I will do a full wipe and reapply the update. I have MyBackup Pro so, maybe that with allow me to wipe and restore a little quicker.

[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
Hey guy can you help me with this problem that I have with my Xperia X10

Sometimes when people call the ringer does not go off. Its bloody annoying and I miss a lot of calls that way.

My settings are all set the right way

And this happens when I not changing as well

Sometimes when I reboot my phone it SOMETIMES fixes the issue, but still.

Anyone else with the same issue??
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
Is it rooted, updated, you have any application that manages your calls most probably.. you should supply more info.

sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
[XPERIA X10 General] vrs2610:
Thanks for reply

Yeh i have a root 20 x10

mm the only app i have that would be working with the ringer would be blink. Has a specific color led for incoming and missed calls.
[XPERIA X10 General] mezo9090:
Try to uninstall it, maybe its causing the problem. Some settings in it could conflict with other default ones, I had problem once.

[Desire General] itsfozzy:
I've had a decent search around the other threads, and I can't find an answer for my question.

I have what I believe to be, an unbranded Desire, supplied directly from Vodaphone 1 week after launch. It boots up with the HTC logos and makes no reference to Vodaphone. The phone was never locked to Vodafone as I am able to use a Three sim to make calls and browse the web after I updated the APN settings.

I did receive an OTA update from Vodafone, a couple of weeks after I bought it, and I'm now wondering if Vodafone have "branded" it behind my back.

I would rather not go through the process of de-branding if it is already de-branded!

For the sake of my sanity, please help.
[Desire General] javawizkid:
Check if you have a scene called 'Vodafone' if you do it is branded, like mine :(
[Desire General] jackstuard:
I bought my desire in switzerland, it's unbranded and I receive the ota updade few minutes ago, its working very well. Be patient.. But depending from where your desire came, you will need to wait more.. This upgrade only apply for european country, not chinese or other places where desire is available.
[Desire General] itsfozzy:
Bugger!

I've got a Vodafone scene!

Gold card here I come...

Thanks for the clarification.

I have no chance to make a gold card though, I have only one microSD..the one in the ****ing phone.

Hello,

Can I not root using the 1 click unrevoked method and then just flash the official ROM?

I don't care about rooting though. I would rather to use the official ROM.
[Desire General] wargy:
If you have the Official 2.1 ROM, then you can use unrevoked method for rooting.

Otherwise, if you are updated to 2.2 through OTA, then you can't.
[Desire General] prodygee:
So whats the problem? That works. Your mc wont stop working.
[Desire General] pablo_max:
I downloaded the official 2.2 that was posted here. Can I just use that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] manderle:
I flashed the stock apps because I wanted the gmail apk but it also installs the gtalk apk. How do I remove the talk app?
[Droid Eris Android Development] droidJW:
EDIT : removed post as follow-on posts indicate removing google Talk can result in issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
You could just remove it, but on most roms (not sure about xtrrom) it will fc on boot if you remove google talk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dm8a55:
I'd keep it. Your phone will work without it, but the Market will not work correctly without it. The downloads will just hang.
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
There are two parts to Talk, the app and a secondary app that handles or is used to handle the Market downloads. If you have Ti Backup, just put Talk to sleep and it will not affect the Market activity.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thenestor:
Gmail uses Talk for pushing mail. Don't remove it if you use Gmail.
[Droid Eris Android Development] manderle:
Gotcha, can see it isn't running so I'll just ignore it.

Thanks everyone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
You can just remove Talk.apk which is the front end (and icon in your programs). TalkProvider.apk is what cannot be removed...

Hope this helps
[Droid Eris Android Development] caleris:
You're supposed to be on a well earned vacation!! Hope it includes your bike.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ericFuels999:
If you want to remove it through ADB:

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system

rm /system/app/Talk.apk

My wife's evo is running stock rooted 1.47 with some basic battery saving tweaks.

I noticed today that her capacitive buttons aren't lighting up. Anyone else had this issue? Is there a setting somewhere that controls them?

EDIT:

Seems like they sort of work. Sometimes they light up sometimes they don't. I'll try to figure out if there is a pattern to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posguy99:
Yes, as even a cursory search would have told you, they are controlled by the light sensor.

So I just successfully rooted my phone and now trying to unlock NAND. The issue im experiencing is when using adb in CMD to do this step "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image" I get cannot create /data/flash_image: permission denied.

Im not sure what to do now. Could someone please help.

Ive been using unlocker's rooting guide- which is the only one that has worked for me

Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
Nevermind! fixed the issue. The tutorial says to put phone in "Charge only" mode, but you have to keep the phone in disk drive.

but now when i try the same command it says "no such file or directory
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcorona056248:
no u dont keep the phone in disk drive cause i think the phone cant read the sd card cause ur on the drive with the computer. try doing it with out it only on charger but im pretty sure if u check the 2nd post u'll see common error and how to fix them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
AWESOME! thanks so much! I guess I had to put it into disk mode to allow "super user" then put it back into charge only. :)

onto the next step. Thank you very much!

EDIT: No! run into the same problem as before.. says "main version is older"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcorona056248:
wait what software version are u running on right now and if u do a quick search you'll should find that older version problem some where.

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

cat: can't open ' /sdcard/flash_image' : No such file or directory

How to fix:

Your sdcard isn't mounted properly. You can use ADB to push the files:

Code:

adb push /path/to/flash_image /sdcard/flash_image

adb push /path/to/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

or try to mount the card: (*note, this command only works from recovery. If you are inside the android OS you have to use adb remount. This is also how you test system r/w access, which is what this whole process gives you

Code:

adb shell mount /sdcard

How to fix:

You are using the wrong PC36IMG.zip file. Its not the same one from part one. Download the file listed in Toast's post, above.

----------------------------------------------------

Error:

Something about "Main version is older" ...not sure of exact syntax

How to fix:

You need to redo the mtd-eng.img step. Check and make sure you didn't get the sdcard mounting error.

----------------------------------------------------

Question:

Can I delete these files from my sdcard, now that I have finished?

Answer:

Sure. Alternatively, you can just throw them into a folder named whatever you want (example folder name: "files for rooting") and leave them there in case you need the later! Totally up to you, but yes they are safe to remove.

----------------------------------------------------

Question:

Do I have to backup/restore my nandroid? Can't I just flash a new ROM?

Answer:

Yep. The advantage of restoring your nandroid is I believe you get your radio back. Maybe not. It takes like 3 seconds to restore your radio anyway. I just flashed my ROM back over clean and used Titanium Backup which I strongly recommend to restore all my apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
But like whats the pro's cons of those? which would be best for me to flash with my software and running 2.1.. just so confused with all the different ROMS :P

edit: also, how do i make a NAND backup??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcorona056248:
nand back up is in recovery under restore and back up

now with the roms just read up on them and make sure ur up to date with the radios and wimax most of them give u links to the threads and show u how to do it. pretty easy to do install them under the zip install just like u were installing a rom.

Hello everyone can someone please tell me what cab files are?

I am trying to understand what they are because I see there are part of the SPB mobile shell download....thank you very much for any help
[General Questions and Answers] Danni3:
in a nutshell they're files that install specific programs on a windows mobile device, in more layman terms they similar to .exe's on pc

to use them, transfer the cab file to your phone and run them through your file explorer
[General Questions and Answers] docextreme1:
Hello and thank you so much for your responce. Another question when downloading the SPB mobile shell is it required to download the (cab) and (exe) to get SPB installed correctly
[General Questions and Answers] Danni3:
I'm not sure about the .exe I would assume that its the updated application file, so install spb onto your device than overwrite the original exe on your phone with the one provided

So, I'm not sure if I had accidentally changed something in the service menu/audio settings (*#*#197328640#*#*) or not. I didn't write down any of the settings, however, after going into this menu, my bluetooth headset now transmits LOUD high pitched noises, and static.

I also don't know if this is from going into this menu, or if the problem started after I flashed the I9000 JP2 rom. Anyways, can someone post maybe screen captures of the audio settings for headset, bluetooth, and headset VT and bluetooth VT?

I bought a handset off another forum a couple of months back and I think it's a fully unbranded handset, and have been trying to run the 2.2 update, except everytime I get to the green sync symbol after it restarts, I then get a red question mark.

I'm running

Firmware 2.1 update1

Build number .1.1.405.2 CL174215 release keys

Software number 1.21.405.2

So is this rooted? Either way, how do I get the Froyo update to work?

Many thanks!
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
You will know if it is rooted cos you wont be able to pull it out the ground lol

Only jokin if you phone is rooted you will have a program in your apps called super user.

hope this helps
[Desire General] normalnix:
I have something called superuser permissions. Is that it? As you can gather, I'm a bit of a thicky so an idiots guide would be great!

[Desire General] Kickasskev:
Yeah thats the one your phone is rooted
[Desire General] normalnix:
Ok. That answers the first part I guess then. Any ideas how I get to Froyo? I can download the update, but it always fails to do it's thing.

Do I have to restore the phone or what? And how?
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
is your phone branded in any way? even a start up logo ?

and where can you download the update? from system software updates on your phone?
[Desire General] normalnix:
There's no branding on the phone, box or software. I can download the update via software updates.

PS. Thanks for the help so far!
[Desire General] Kickasskev:
If you can download it from software updates go for it froyo here we go,

no branding is a good sign
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
Just try updating via the update manager as that should work.
[Desire General] normalnix:
LOL

That's the problem. It doesn't work!
[Desire General] ericjung:
Same thing with me....

I bought a Telstra Branded Handset. Had a company root and install a generic rom. (Telstra handset because it works on ATT 3G.) This morning, the phone told me that I had an Android Software Update (Version 2.2). The phone downloaded it, but wouldn't install. I imagine because the dang thing is rooted.

I will wait a few days for someone to offer a desire rom with 2.2 and HTC sense.
[Desire General] normalnix:
Is there an easy way to restore the handset to it's original software so I can upgrade from there?
[Desire General] Ik Desire:
Look for the Unrooting guide in the (sticky) guides collection. I believe it just involves flashing a stock rom. But currently you won't be able to root your phone after official OTA froyo update, since it flashes your hboot too. Alternatively you can flash a rooted froyo ROM without hboot.

Edit: Look in development forum for the sticky guide. The place to be for topics like this; it makes them obsolete.
[Desire General] normalnix:
Many thanks!

For further info, see 'How to Unroot your HTC Desire to stock' in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710092&postcount=4

It took a bit of time to download all the updates, but I got there in the end.
[Desire General] jontokyo:
My Desire is rooted, 2.1, not 2.2 Froyo, I wish. But I am trying to things in the file management like install and move around apk files. But it wont allow saying I have no permissions. Rooted to me means God access, but its not really god access. Any ideas why?
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Even if you are rooted, you will have READ ONLY access to /system due to NAND protection. You can only write to /system from recovery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaediil:
I rooted using the Unrevoked method and can use wifi tether just fine on the stock 2.1 with the most recent update. From what I understand, this is not a full root and the system directory is not unlocked after boot. Am I correct so far?

Now, I should be able to install a custom rom with this since I can boot into a custom recovery. Once I install a custom rom, will that rom be fully rooted? What advantage do I get from doing the full method that I don't already have?

Unrevoked does not unlock NAND, so you cannot flash a custom ROM, as far as I have learned.

But your question was for a similar functionality at the digital clock. For that you have to search the mode9 file for the digital clock, than to add some objects for the night version and to change the lua script with the animations for the flip clock.
