[Vibrant Android Development] Nayyak:
Before I start a new thread in the appropriate section, I am trying to find the answer here.

My problem started couple of days ago when I noticed that ROM Manager doesn't not reboot into recovery mode when I click on "Reboot into Recovery Mode." It just reboots the system. If I want to get into recovery mode, I have to do it manually (holding the volume keys....)

Then I tried to see if ADB can do it. I found out that ADB cannot do it either. all it does is rebooting the phone normally. I still can push files, install apk-s, shell...etc.

My system settings are in the signature.

I had never achieved before this tip,

Thanks

It IS consistent, people just need to know how to do it. It is very easy and very consistent.

Recovery mode:

Power off phone, nothing plugged in: vol up + vol dn + power, when the Vibrant screen appears, release power only.

Download mode:

Power off phone, nothing plugged in: vol up + vol dn + power, when the Vibrant screen appears, keep holding the combo and let the phone reboot again to the Vibrant screen, release power only.
[Vibrant Android Development] Qverse:
Easy way

I can't get into Download mode, no matter how i try it...i can even see the "Charger" icon when i plug the usb in, the phone just boot. I want to enter to Download mode.
[Vibrant Android Development] stanton93:
1. Power off your phone.

2. See that the usb cord is not attached to the phone but attached to a comp

(the phone must be off while performing 3rd step.

3. Hold vol up+vol dwn rocker buttons and plug in the usb cord to the phone.

That must work.

[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
Didn't work. I also tried using the commands posted on OP with no luck...could be CM7??
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
My Eureka Moment!

1) remove back cover

2) take out the battery

3) hold both the volume up and down buttons "and the power button" all at the same time.

4) while holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in

5) should have yellow scrolling text and go in to the samsung recovery mode [let go of all buttons]

6) plug in usb cable [note other end is plugged into the pc...]

7) select reboot

8) as soon as you click the power button to reboot press and "hold both the volume up/down buttons"

if your timing is right you should be pressing both at about the same time it says rebooting...

9) download mode! :D

Note: did the above at work with a data cable, wxp pro, no drivers installed.

This works like a charm every time! :)

now that I got it here whats next?

run adb? run odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
Sorry...no luck :S

Maybe its CM7?
[Vibrant Android Development] jokerz99:
works flawless trying to remove CM7 and nothing else worked cause it would auto boot into the rom

thx
[Vibrant Android Development] CzE517:
Why don't you just download easy reboot from the market? Its just like quick boot but has some more features added.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dreadllokz:
Vol- / Connect Usb -> is the original way for me

after changing Rom

Vol+ / Connect Usb -> worked!

Don't got a Vibrant btw, got a G2, was just looking for different ways to go to downloadmode, there are dozens of ways in every phone to get to download and recovery mode, depending on model/rom ur using!

I GOT A DAMN FUKIN PROBLEM after instaillig evil's sense rom.

i just wanna go back to use MCR23 then flashed it.

My nexus-one wont boot.. Freezing on boot screen...

and also if i reinstall evil's sense rom. it shows low memory space like 12.32MB on

internal space... what the hell...

I did do everything (full wipe, nandbackup, formatting sd card.. etc..)

There is no way to format main drive??? super duper need help....

At this moment, i cannot use my nexus1... fxxxx....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
Ummi can suggest using the going back to stock method, which uses fastboot to erase all user data, and info, this could possible help and then jus reroot

I dont know if this would really work i would wait for someone with lil more knowledge, and i just giving an idea too if you proceed with my idea GOOD LUCK hope to get you back up and running sir!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
No need for the language, but I shall try to help anyway!

Boot into your current ROM (Evil's Sense ROM, since you seem to be able to get into that one) and install clockwork recovery (through ROM Manager on Market) and restart in clockwork using the GUI. Under the partitions menu, select "format" for everything except for SD Card. After this, reinstall the MCR that is on your SD card, and it

should

be working as normal.

This has happened to me in the past, and this is how I was able to fix it on my N1. Good luck.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Fastboot would be the easiest way to fix this...

Boot into fastboot by powering on the phone while pressing (and holding) down the trackball.

Plug in your USB cable, and it should now say "FASBOOT USB" on your screen in red highlights.

In a command prompt/terminal, type the following:

fastboot -w

fastboot update /path/to/evilsenserom.zip

All of the sense roms are going to be extremely full roms, so you won't ever have a lot of internal space to play with.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonnib4:
Yep.

Use FASTBOOT to fixxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx !!!!!!

hey guys

I'm kinda new to programming, done a bit at college and now and then i read up about it at home but i know the very basic skills. anyways i thought i would test myself and see i could come up with an idea for an app.

its not a windows mobile app but i suppose in a way its for developers (can save progress of development and tweet it to followers). the app is called twitodo and it basically saves a todo list to a txt file in the install directory. it can also open a text file from a custom directory. it can also tweet the todo list to your twitter account and you have the option to view twitter in a browser window.

the ui is ok i suppose but it could be alot nicer.. would apreciate it if someone could do a few graphics for me. also if anyone has a link to a good guide for making installers because im not sure that my program install correctly, i think you may have to run it from the program files directory.

anyways feedback will be apreciated very much, anything i can add or remove at all just leave below please i really wanna make this app better, but go easy its my first program unless you count "hello world" then its my second lol.

EDIT:

Changes:

permissions to write file at startup fixed (moved TodoList.txt default location)

fixed crash when user doesnt select a file in load todo list window

Attached Files Updates!

just thort id put a pic of the ui on so u can see what it looks like
[Touch HD General] btbill:
This is madly weird. I've been flashing roms on HTC phones for years and what I have just found with my HTC HD is after flashing to a new ROM is that I can not go back to the home screen with either the hardware button or the soft home button in the start menu. It just will not have it. The phone works but weirdly with no home screen. The start menu works as does to the call hardware button to take me to the phone dialer etc. Just no ability ot get to the homescreen.... only time i have ever seen it is after restart, but then homescreen will hang and when I navigate away from it, ie with start or call button I can not get back and screen refreshes are bad.

The only way i seem to be able to use my phone any more is not have manila of any flavour running?

Weird, any thoughts. Sorry for the ramble - I have done loads of searches to try and sort this but to no avail.
[Touch HD General] btbill:
FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very weird, FIXED...

FIXED by deleting app data on memory card. Found this out by accident as it worked without mem card in phone. WEIRD.
[Touch HD General] blakcrp:
app data?

what do you mean by "app data on memory card"?
[Touch HD General] accountabc:
uhm... the application data folder?
[Touch HD General] sandymac:
This is a well known problem with 23xxx ROMs. Deleting the application data folder solves a number of problems. Check out Energy's thread for more info. :D
[Desire General] cyberxda:
Greetings...

I've been hesitating about upgrading to official HTC 2.2 based ROMs mainly because of concerns over battery life. I have great battery life (4d+ standby, medium use) with Sparta ROM (no Sense) and would like get the same with Froyo.

According to your experience is that possible? What's your battery life like? Thanks in advance for sharing...
[Desire General] DesirableHTC:
Both of NeYoPhyTe's ROM's have a very good battery life i believe, I'm currently using ۵.NeoPhyTe Mod v1.7.1 Sense-FroYo 2.2 · ROM and I'm just charging to 100% and i will give it a try.

I think that there should be a "preserve battery life" thread with people offering their tips on how best to preserve battery life to full extent, i have the usual not syncing facebook twitter an all that, my brightness is at 33% at all times (except if I'm outside) but im sure that there is more that i could be doing to save a little extra......
[Desire General] pina_:
took off the charger this morning around 7u30, wifi on + gps on (accidentaly though) until 9u. Now 12u15, and still got 93%. Only got 1 and sent 1 message so far.

not bad i think and i'm using MCR r7 wip.
[Desire General] roomkokos:
Im sorry but i dont get it... you have the very best gadget on the market right now and you use it for 4 days of standby and low medium use? Why did u buy this phone?

If u arent using ur phone, dont go to froyo because battery life will decrease due to so many improvements and better wifi signal that burns a lot more battery.

I got roufianosV6 and i use my phone very heavily, fb sync, gmail, lots of sms and calls, internet all the time, wifi on 24/7, using various apps,... and i get 15-20% battery left at the end of the day and im very pleased with my battery life.

If u get 4+ days that means practically no usage and it meabs u dont even need this phone.. since u do have it, i would really disadvice u to go on 2.2, because u would go only for the number not for actually using the goodies.

Besides... you guys live in woods without electricity or u have to pay for each charging of the phone? :)
[Desire General] jack561:
What?

I know plenty of people who would need long battery life over raping their phone for all its worth over 15h. Whenever I go on holiday for example, I don't want the battery cutting off mid flight because im playing music through last.fm. Or if I'm on the train, I wan't to know that I can make calls the next day.
[Desire General] DesirableHTC:
he is right though in a way, why have a high end, top performing device, if your not going to use it for 4 days? I see what you are saying, about wanting to be able to use it without having to re-charge every 5 hours or so, and the only solution would be to buy a spare battery for those long haul trips. I would be happy getting 24 hours with moderate to heavy use.
[Desire General] roomkokos:
Just wanted to write that - buy a spare battery for planed trips with no electricity on the way. Desire holds a day and a half of medium usage - only for what u need and when u need - calls and sms with no wifi or gps or syncing weather fb music radio etc..

Or... buy a sonyericsson walkman edition, i guarantee u better sound and longer battery life. Lasts a week of medium use on my SE w810.

U can buy double sized batteries i think for the desire as well but it looks ugly from the back. Besides, desire has micro and normal usb cable, and you can charge it just about anywhere. Moreover microusb will be official charger for europe and from soon to come on, all the mobile manufacturers will gave to make micro usb chargers and u will be able to fill up your phone from ur friends charger.

Desire has a top battery comparing to the processes it runs all the time and to the great amoled. I have it ob full brightness all the time. I dont get ppl reducing the amoled brightness as its the fabulous colors that make the screen so insanely great. Its like buying a porshe and installing a golf V 1.2 disel engine because porshe uses to much fuel...

Im sorry but there must be something sacrafised to have such a high end device and that is battery in this case. I really cant imagine using the desire with all inclusive apps use. It lasts a day and thats mire than enough for me - use it over day, recharge over night. If some ppl have desire for bragging that they own a best device out there but they dont use it... well then theres the battery problem indeed. (im not implying to anyone here, its meant in general)
[Desire General] anman.x:
On stock 2.1 ROM my desire lives only 1 day with 2G only, BT off, Wi-Fi on, no fb and no gtalk, some IM (jabber via Jabiru). In general, my phone wasn't overloaded.

When had upgraded to froyo (AdamG's SenseFroyo 1.0c) i got 2 days uptime with same using conditions. And additionally i can watch one movie or surf web for ~2 hours
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Extra batteries suck because you need to restart the phone every time you want to replace one. I'd recommend something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/JustMobile-Gum-Pro-Power-Pack/dp/B0026NB4UE

4400mAh (presumably at USB's 5V) capacity and a full 1000mA current for charging other devices. Just ordered one myself because the Desire's battery life is so awful (apparently mainly because of the AMOLED screen) :p
[Desire General] roomkokos:
U have to turn off your phone anyway to do anything: switch sim, sd card or battery and it takes u up to 3 mins, thats not a lot of time wasted.

@ the user above:

I had the same problem my desire not holding for long and i wiped battery stats and my battery life doubled. Besides, adams rom is without sense so i imagine a lot les data runs at the same time in the background, which enlenghtens the battery life.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Using w7 MCR ROM with minimal apps added and other apps removed that I don't use and battery life is barely 24hrs with the latest radio...using the old MCR 2.2 ROM with the leaked radio I was getting 2 days with the same usage so looks like a radio issue to me...
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Why would you switch your SIM card or SD card regularly? :confused:

I just leave mine in there unless I get a new one - which is about once every two years, respectively ;)
[Desire General] deepdevil:
Hi, can you post your feedback on the power pack ?
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Will do, the reviews and specs are excellent though. People are getting three full iPhone 3GS charges out of it...

BTW, OpenDesire 3.0.5 (Froyo) battery log for today:

-10 minute phone call

-15:00 - 93%

-15:07-15:37 - Read a few forum threads (mainly light grey and white backgrounds) - 86%

-16:35-16:55 - Few more forums... - 81%

-Tested power consumption (because andycted gave me the following tip: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723217), which lost me a few percentage points (idle power consumption with screen on lowest, screen on highest and screen off)

-Another rough half hour of surfing - 73%

So, battery stats for today:

Doesn't look too bad, IMO. Almost 9 hours of light usage and I'm down to 70%...

I know it's not official HTC Froyo, but should give some idea of Froyo power consumption...
[Desire General] b6rt:
Let's do some investigation !

The problem:

Many 2.2 roms with HTC sense complain for a very low battery life. The problem seems to be the following: when the screen is on, the battery melts (!), 1% per every two minutes approximately. The sleep mode is okay. So far we don't really know what's causing this.

A way to find the solution ?

Maybe we could do some investigation to find out which process drains the battery. I propose that we use JuicePlotter (or battery graph, never mind), try to kill some processes, and analyse the pitch of the battery level graph.

I'm going to work on it right away, but we can do it faster if we are several persons to search.

What do you think ?
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
You've already found the solution: Screen on, battery dying => AMOLED is ****. It uses way too much power...
[Desire General] b6rt:
Don't think so... In my battery stats, we can read:

Android System: 40%

...

...

Display: 8%

Moreover, there is no such battery drain with 2.1 HTC roms, or vanilla 2.2 roms.
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Wohaaa. Android System shouldn't be over 10%... your system is doing something strange. You could try monitoring CPU usage with System Panel (search the market) and try to locate the culprit there.

Otherwise, wipe and reinstall...

Or are you telling me this is the case on all Sense ROMs? That can't really be, there would've been mass panic in the streets and a lynching of all HTC CEOs ;)

-edit- Although... did you leave the screen off nearly the whole time? And didn't use the phone at all? How much battery life did you get out of that charge?
[Desire General] b6rt:
Thanks for the advice. I checked in Android System Information, and android.process.acore is pretty much always at 100% CPU . Is it normal ?
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Most definitely not. Should be practically idle most of the time. Try a reboot, and if that doesn't work, a wipe. Back up with Titanium Backup first and restoring after the wipe won't be such a pain...
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
By the way, you might want to try out something like this: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.zomut.watchdoglite

Should tell you when a background process is using too much CPU... I'll be testing it out too :)
[Desire General] b6rt:
Thank you for your help bemymonkey :)

What I experimented with android.process.acore : when the phone boots, CPU load for this task is at 0. But i grows within 20 minutes, and afterwards stays at 100. However, it is not mentionned in the battery use summary.

Android 61%

Display 17%

Call Standby 11%

Wi-Fi 11%

I'm using LeeDroid right now. I had globally the same problems with the official Froyo HTC rom (2.09). Almost installed nothing on the rom by the way.

EDIT :

Just checked the log, and found two recurring errors, concerning GoogleAnalytics and AdMobSDK.

W/googleanalytics

Problem with socket or streams.

www.google.com:127.0.0.1:80 connection refused
[Desire General] cyberxda:
Some clarifications...

I actually play w/ my Desire as a gadget all the time, even when walking ;) However sometimes I need it to standby long enough as a phone so I don't miss calls/messages when nowhere to charge.

I don't like backup battery at all. Portable power pack might be an option but it still doesn't hurt to find out what could help us get the best battery life w/o these helpers.

I played with many 2.1 ROMs and figured out the best config to avoid unnecessary waste of battery life to get theoretical 4d standby, which means I can play w/ my phone as much as I want and still don't need to worry about not being able to get calls in 1~2 days even if it's impossible to recharge. I expect Froyo would consume more battery power w/ all the enhancements and I was just wondering how much more it needs.

Please just report your actual experience w/ Froyo battery life. Comparison w/ 2.1 would be even better!

FYR here're some numbers for my 2.1 ROM (Pays Sparta):

airplane mode - <0.3%/h

standby, 3g off, wifi off - 0.6%~0.8%/h

standby, 3g on, wifi on - ~1.2%/h

screen on, 80% brightness - 15%/h
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Hi, that doesn't sound too good. Can you try a full wipe with an empty SD card (but on the same ROM)? As far as I can tell, unless you didn't wipe between the ROMs, the only common factor is the SD card. It might just be some files on there that Android is trying to catalogue...

Unfortunately I can't tell you exactly what's causing it, but I can tell you that it's bad bad bad bad and is eating your battery like crazy.

And android.process.acore is part of "Android" in the battery usage summary, so yes, it is mentioned - it ate 60% of your battery during the last discharge! :eek:

However, I don't think it has anything to do with the GAnalytics and AdMob errors - sounds more like your ROM has adblocking and the requests for GAnalytics and Admob aren't finding the correct servers - which is a good thing ;)
[Desire General] b6rt:
All right I'll do a full wipe. Just one silly question: when I wipe, do I have to flash the ROM again afterwards ?
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Nope, wiping should be enough... hopefully ;)
[Desire General] b6rt:
All right :) I tell you that because i happened to do a wipe to the official froyo rom. Then i was not able to boot it (stuck at boot screen) .
[Desire General] bemymonkey:
Interesting, not normal though. Usually I wipe before _and_ after installing a new ROM, so it's definitely not necessary to reinstall the ROM after a wipe in geneal.
[Desire General] b6rt:
You do full wipe ? (factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats) ?

I wonder how the ClockWorkMod recovery behaves with dalvik cache stored in SD ext3 partition.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Hi all,

i know it's a little late, but i have released a froyo review on my blog:

http://smartphoneblogging.com/2010/08/review-android-2-2-froyo-for-nexus-one/

Comparing the latest Google offering with HTC Sense on HTC Desire (2.1).

Besides comparing froyo to HTC Sense i wanted to find out if all those benchmark tests Google promoted (i.e. 5-10 times speed gains) really make a huge difference on daily usage.

Hope you like it. If there are any questions please let me know.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:

[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
