[Droid Incredible General] DocTauri:
I have 2 Incredibles, mine, and my daughter's. I had hers initially, then gave her that one when mine showed up. On mine, I immediately flashed it to the first leak and 2.05 Radio OTA per instructions here, and it worked great.

On hers, I forgot to do a erase all before flashing it, so it still had all of my old data and apps on it. After flashing, I expected to see the screens revert back to their default state, but they didn't. My custom icon placements were still in place on the home screens. The icons for 3rd party downloaded apps were generic android icons. Opening any 3rd party app would cause a force quit. I did an erase everything, didn't fix it. If I went to the market, apps would show as not being loaded, so I loaded them, same results. I then uninstalled and reinstalled, and the apps all worked again.

So, last night, I reverted both phones. Mine went smooth as butter. Hers did the exact same thing as before. So, I went through all the actions, and got it all working again, no problem. Lastly, she went to change the desktop pattern to a picture, and rebooted the phone (not sure why), but it hung on the first "HTC Incredible" boot screen. Pulled the battery and put it back in, no change. Pulled it, let it sit for about a minute, put it on A/C and put the battery back in, and it came back up as expected. When it booted though, it has gone nuts again. All changes since the flashback were lost, icons were generic, I had to uninstall and reinstall everything.

The thing to note here is that once I get it all set up, it works fine, no problems. All I can figure is the fact that I didn't clear everything before the first flash has caused something in memory to become corrupt, and and isn't getting purged when I do an erase all.

So, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Doc
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
did you do a hard reset?
[Droid Incredible General] seanhassars:
sounds like you need to clear the davlick cache too. just selecting full wipe isn't always enough.
[Droid Incredible General] DocTauri:
Ok, what's a "hard reset" as opposed to clearing everything via the Settings -> Privacy -> factory data reset?

And how does one go about clearing the davlick cache?

Thanks!

Doc
[Droid Incredible General] ddonalson:
I did the same thing when I flashed mine. I just went back into clockwork and did a format on every choice including the cache and did a reinstall and everything was stock.
[Droid Incredible General] DocTauri:
Thanks, I'll give it a try!
[Droid Incredible General] DocTauri:
I'd still like to hear from seanhassars and jdkoreclipse on how to perform the options they suggested.

Thanks,

Doc
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Hard reset is the clear storage option in the bootloader.

And you clear dalvik cache in the advanced menu in recovery.
[Droid Incredible General] DocTauri:
I'll be redoing the phone tonight so will take all of this into account.

Thanks a lot to all!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puunda:
I bought my HD2 about 3 weeks ago. Used from Australia (I live in NZ where the phone is not available yet). I got it from eBay, it's supposed to be 2 months old.

Phone worked fine, installed a cooked rom and everything was going great until a few nights ago.

I was playing badminton and had the phone in my pocket. When I took it out, it wasn't responding. So I pulled the battery out and when I tried to turn it back on, all I got was a white screen. I don't know if having the phone in my pocket while playing badminton had anything to do with it, but I didn't fall or anything.

Since then I've tried turning on hundreds of times. Most of the time it's a white screen with a slight yellow tint. Sometimes it's a normal white. Some other times it's a white screen with 'HTC', but in each case, it doesn't go beyond the white screen.

Have tried doing a hard reset, and it says it's successful, but when it reboots, same thing.

Have got it into the mode where you can flash the ROM (hold vol down when turning on), and when I tried to flash the cooked rom, it gets to 1% then resets. When I tried to flash an HTC rom, it just sits at 0% and eventually Windows gives me an error.

Have talked to HTC, and it seems I have to send my phone back to Australia to get fixed. But the service centers in Australia need a receipt/proof of purchase in order to fix it under warranty.

So it looks like I can't get it repaired without paying for it myself.

Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Or can suggest something else I can try to bring it back to life?

Thanks

Hello all

I got a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV Raph 300. I flashed SPL for waranty with StockSPL_ForWarrantyOnly_SPL190_1.zip. I flashed before with stock Tmobile win 6.1 with radio, but when i flashed it with the stock spl, it doesnt want this windows. I tried over 30 original windows 6.1 what i found on wiki or elsewhere. Please, how can i unbrick it? I need to put there again the hardspl, i dont mind about the warranty. I need it just working.

So... any ideas how to put there hardspl under bootloader? or any other ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] elegant047:

btw... in windows it writes CDMA, how is this possible, that from stock spl from GSM thread it writes CDMA in drivers????

upppppp, any suggestions???
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
Has anyone a definitive answer to the above question ?

Just out of curiosity, but the answer can also lead to the right direction to find a right procedure to flash the phone w/o SEUS help.
[XPERIA X2 General] kariimb:
Mobinnova

http://www.obsessable.com/company/mobinnova/

ps : link edit
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
Thanks for your answer, but I think that the question has still sense.

Ferrari is owned by Fiat, but saying "built by ferrari" or "built by fiat" are not synonyms.

Afaik the iphone is built directly by Foxconn and not Mobinnova and from the technical point of view this can lead to great differences.

P.S. Your link is wrongly formatted...
[XPERIA X2 General] kariimb:
yes it's true , but mobinnova 's phones are not common , it's hard to find answers to your question.

SE didn't make a good deal tor switch between from HTC to Mobinnova
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
I know that is not an easy question, this is because I asked on this forum and not just Googled, as usual.

I can't agree: I think that X2 is an incredibly well built phone, surely better built than the X1 or the average HTC phone.

Its drawbacks are almost all on the SW side and in some project choices, so it's SE to blame and not Mobinnova Foxconn or whatever.

Obiviously the weak and well known HTC bootloader could be a nice addon, but this is not related with the build quality.
[XPERIA X2 General] kariimb:
You didn't understand my opinion , It's better to us if SE was made the X2 with HTC , because in this case it' was easiest to "hard speel"
[XPERIA X2 General] The Solutor:
Yes this is sure.

I'm afraid that we have to find a workaround like what happened with the Milestone on the android side....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iuzar:
Since unlocking SGS is legal, through a Samsung server (so I understood) I kindly ask you to recommend me a reliable site for this kind of service. I ordered the unlock code through globalunlock.com and even if they had good reviews on www, they seem to be disappeared.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
there are currently no unlocking for SGS, because the international i9000 version comes unlocked from factory.

only the USA/Canada versions are locked, and those are not available to be unlocked yet
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
I have heard that if you update your phone through kies, it gets unlocked?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i doubt it, that will defeat the purpose to be locked
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
I believe it can still be SIM-locked by carriers though. Mine is supplied by T-Mobile UK and asks for an unlock code if I put an old Orange SIM in it.

Note that I have no problems flashing ROMs on it though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ownhd2:
Yeah this true I'm on t mobile uk and I thought if flashed new firmware it would lock my phone but it didn't so your ok to flash new firmware
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iuzar:
Yes, I was refering to SIM-lock. Mine is locked on Orange Romania.

I can live with this if I would be able to update firmware, flashing ROMs and other stuff.

Should I dare :D flashing ROMs? By now I rooted it and applied a lagfix and I had no problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iuzar:
I updated firmware to I9000XXJP3. Everything looks ok for the moment
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that is an alpha build of froyo AFAIK

the latest stable and fast firmwares are JH2 and JH1 for some other areas
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iuzar:
my precious :D is european. should I use JP2?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tr.slate:
So while trying to improve on my lockscreen morph that changes the circle icons to other shapes, i decided that since the Phone.apk uses those same (pretty much) icons to answer/decline a call, I should change them there as well.

I made the xml, making sure to place the framework-res changes last in the xml list, as recommended, and zipped. All file names and pathways are correct and have been double checked.

When I actually apply the morph with metamorph however, it starts applying the Phone.apk and all seems to be fine at first, then before it gets a chance to morph the framework-res, i get a series of FC's with the message "Sorry!, The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I push the FC button and the message reappears non-stop until I either reboot the phone, or since i dont trust it, restore with nandroid.

After I rebooted the first time I made a copy of the "morphed" Phone.apk. After unzipping it I found that instead of replacing the images of the res folder, it had created a duplicate, so now i had 2 res folders.

Anyone else have any insight on why this happens?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] steele83:
I have thte same problem. maybe not the duplicate res files, i'm a noob to all of this, but i do have the fc and that theme doesn't get applied. is that an issue with morph and 2.2? I am running KaosFroyo v38

Well, I don't plan to mirror the file but I am curious as to why you don't want it mirrored. The files aren't yours, you didn't create them. What difference does it make if it's mirrored somewhere else?

I've lost my HTC Hero 2 days ago, it is still ringing somewhere, so it is not stolen. I have not installed any tracker on it, it runs a Chocolate Eclair 1.01, I don't know if there is any way to access the phone remotely. PLEASE HELP!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Unless you have tracking software on your phone you'll have to retrace your steps, ask in pubs and bars that you've been in. I don't know why you're wasting your time on here :p get outside and look!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Did you install WaveSecure (or equivalent) on it?

If not, you're stuffed I'm afraid, unless you had some other plan in place. There's loads of apps (free and paid) that let you track your phone, even enabling GPS if it's off.

But this doesn't help you. I dunno how long battery lasts on that ROM, but I would suggest you get looking before it stops ringing out, then you have no hope of tracing it down really.

Message for anyone reading this: install a tracking app on your phone if possible.
[XPERIA X10 General] 10123:
I have just purchased a dirt cheap x10 but it doesn't come with a memory card.

How important is having a memory card? I am fine with the amount of in-built memory available but is there any other reason, I know when I wanted to root my X1 (Not typo, X1) I needed a memory card.

Also how do I take pictures without a memory card?
[XPERIA X10 General] rynoon:
You don't take pictures without a memory card, nor do you listen to music, watch videos, etc. Get a memory card.
[XPERIA X10 General] anguslaw:
Essential I would say.
[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
I would say it's pretty essential also. Then you can't make backups of your phone etc.

Going to try that right now.

I came from a Blackberry with a physical keyboard and was an amazingly fast typer. Touchscreen on the Evo has been hell for me to get used to. I'm getting decent at it but still not nearly as fast. Last night I picked up my Blackberry and was playing around and typing on it again and just blazing through the keys... Got me thinking it's time to try something new on the Evo.

Glad it's working out for you! I also came from a hardware keyboard (Palm Pre) and the software keyboard took some getting used to. I had the Droid X keyboard on my Evo but lost it for a few weeks when the 2.2 update came out. While I was stuck using the stock keyboard (IMO it sucks) I tried a few other keyboards, and for me nothing came close to the Droid keyboard.

Like another poster said, it is nice not having the directional keys (I never used them - I would just tap the screen to move the cursor) plus the suggested words don't cover some of the screen (like you mentioned)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novanosis85:
+ 1!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laydros:
This is tough. I keep switching back and forth.

On a small screen better keyboard seems best.

On the EVO I most often use Swype. I like swping, it handles pecks almost as well as anything else, and it has a great editing screen with arrows, tab key, and good editing controls (copy, paste, etc)

But I kinda like the stock android keyboard (as in the one that is with CM6), it is fast, and sometimes sliding up to punctuation and numbers feels faster than long press. But then sometimes swift key's prediction feels even faster than anything..... And I sometimes use HTC IME just to have manups theme.

And smart keyboard is excellent too... its a lot like the HTC keyboard, but seems a little more accurate, and has a BIG SPACEBAR!!!

So, I use a lot of them... if I had to pick one, it would be swype though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenags:
I'm not sure I could get used to Swype. I actually enjoy typing.

Smart keyboard sounds nice for the bigger space bar. One of the biggest errors I make all the time is hitting the space bar so far on the right that I hit the next key.

I thought it would be of interesrt:

I found an app with which one can use an external bluetooth gps-mouse with many different apps. I am currently using it with google maps, C:geo, Motonav, even gpstest (where it only doesn't show the sat infos but everything else works).

Search for bluetooth gps provider in the market from mobile-j.de. It costs 1.99€ and it's well worth the money!

Now I have accuracy of 1.2 m and spot on tracks with my bt-gps.

I did not manage to find it, can you please post it here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rkn72:
Great find. 2 Euro well spent. 1m accuracy inside my home with my trusty old bluetooth gps :)

Cheers,

PS can't post link but if you google on 'bluetooth gps provider' then it is in the top results.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
that was mentioned previously in the GPS blasting topic

yet every one believed it was a dud

now somebody else post it, and every one takes it for granted... great... this is just great...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] hugo5:
Even if it was posted in the "GPS blasting topic", which I suppose is the GPS Poll topic, before it didn't catch my attention although this is a topic, that I am very closely following. What I did see was an app that catches raw NMEA data and put's it on the screen. Now that program is not useable for anything, while the app I mentioned above can distribute the GPS data to many different programs running on the SGS.

And not meaning to offend you, but I think that this little app is worth an extra thread rather than to be mentioned in a several hundered post thread where it drowns easily under the posts.

And if it was you, who found this app at first: Your the Man! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] THUDUK:
Just bought this, and tested it on my external Bluetooth GPS and wow, this app works perfectly with my tracks, run.gps, alpinequest, gps test, gps status, runner...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] amwebby:
Works with EZCam which is great. Because my car has an infra-red coated windscreen the phone's GPS doesn't work when the phone is placed in the dashboard Brodit mount. This makes it possible for me to place the GPS unit in the rear, where there is no infrared coating.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Koenig77:
Cant get this to work with any programs...

EDIT: After a couple of reboots and reconnects to my BT-GPS it works.

Thank you for the tip!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] hugo5:
Just a short update:

The bluetooth gps provider app works with sygic mobile maps as well!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mrmagmrmag:
Alternative - use your Bluetooth GPS receiver as GPS source

Try this as an alternative: Bluetooth GPS Mouse (I have a link here as well -- but I am somehow not allowed to post links in this forum :(). Anyhow, you should be able to find the program -- just search for 'Bluetooth GPS Mouse' in the Market ;)

You can test it freely and later buy the commercial version if it works for you as well!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
I am using bluetooth gps mouse and it works quite well with sygic, motonav, copilot, navigon etc.

Of course it also depends on the quality of your external bluetooth gps receiver. I use the nokia ld-3w with a sirfstarIII chipset and replaceble battery. Probably there are better ones out there, but this one was cheap and works good.

My question is wich app is better: GPS mouse or GPS provider?

Shall I just stick with GPS mouse?

Greetz
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] yc1437:
I bought both program & i certainly want to recommend GPS provider over GPS mouse:

Pros of GPS Provider over GPS Mouse:

1. Icon on notification bar showing the program is running

2. Satellites signal status displayed in the program windows

3. The gps data streaming is smooth, i tested both with Papago satnav, GPS Provide makes the position mark run smoothly while GPS mouse cause the position pointer jerk while moving --> very weird behavior

So far both program stable, no force close encounter.

My final words, GPS mouse still premature...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
OK Thanks for your reply!

Just one more question:

With GPS provider do you also have to enable "allow mock locations" (Settings » Applicatios » Development » Allow mock locations) ?

Greetz
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
oops double posting
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mrmagmrmag:
Points 1 and 2 have been adressed by them now -- so you have both a status icon and a display of satellite SNR values. Another plus is that you can purchase the program outside of the Android market as well (which is a bonus as the market is not available in many countries).

I don't have problems with the position jerking around, but if there is an issue and you report it to them I guess it will be fixed soon. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
Didn't try GPS Provider yet

Bluetooth GPS Mouse unlimited is doing great though...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] nanoo-eg:
Hi, I use Bluetooth gps mouse. I have zero problems.

I have try to use it with the app gps test but don't display the sattelites on this app.

Do you know a similar app to work with external gps so as can check how meny sattelites, signal e.t.c?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] betoNL:
There is a free app called Bluetooth GPS form googoo android (nothing to do with "bluetooth gps mouse).

It connects to your external BT device (without the need of gps mouse)and gives nice readings and even your position on map (and that's all it does)

Have fun
