[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] andynz:
Just joined the forum and my first post. Thanks heaps for the guide. It took me awhile yesterday to upgrade my Chinavasion Excalibur. First problem was using W7 even in XPSP3 mode I couldn't get RUT to install the first 1.6 version. Had a bad moment when it seemed to get half way then came up with an error and what looked like a dead phone but removing the battery got me back to the original.

So I used an old laptop with XPSP3 and .net 2.0 and it worked fine. I then forgot to change the language on the Chinese 1.6 to English so ended up with the 2.1 install in Chinese. I went back a step did q.6 in English and then the upgrade to 2.1 worked fine.

Does anyone know where you can get a 2.1 user guide for Android? I have hunted around and found a 2.2 but a 2.1 would be great.

Cheers

Hi all, I've problem with restoring IMEI. Can anyone help me?

I'm using Nexian Journey A890 (from Indonesia), and when upgrading my default rom which is 1.6 to apanda 1.6.2 my IMEI suddenly changed.

I've tried tutorial how to restore IMEI, but still it didn't change.

When I tried to modify the step in this part:

12. Go to the tab Dialog Port (QC) and on the second drop down menu left to the button Lets go select Restore NVItems (Binary) and then press Lets go

13. Select the NVList.nrv (we have changed before) and click Open

into:

Go to the tab Dialog Port (QC) and on the second drop down menu left to the button Lets go select Enable FTM Mode, my phone restarted and I got unknown IMEI.

But if I try again every step in restore IMEI, my IMEI always back to bad IMEI.

FYI, I'm using win7 32bit when flashing rom, and winxp home edition SP3 to restore IMEI

So any other way to restore IMEI? please help me and thx b4

error flashing on motorola xt502

Hi,

I'm using the Motorola XT502, comes with Android 1.6.

I followed the method but failed at the flashing of Apanda 1.6.2 ROM. On the RUT program it says:

Reflash finished.

Error = QPD_ERROR_DMSS_Write32_NAK (0xF616).

Is Motorola XT3 also Orange Boston? XT5 definitely is, and as far as I can tell, the only difference is in camera resolution (and built-in version of Android).

How to check that?

Upd.: Yes, it is. Go to cyanogen forum for mods and information (there it is called z71 variant).

Hey guys!

I have a little problem...

I flashed this rom on my boston about a month ago.

Then some time I installed RomManager and flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery.

Since then RUT doesn't find my phone anymore.

I've found a few posts on boston-mania from people having the same trouble, but no solution.

Can anyone hepl me with this issue? I would really like to check out CMLeclair1.3 but don't know how to flash without RUT...

Hello guys. A really need your help. I'm trying for about 3 days to change my rom from 1.6 official to 1.6.2 apanda. I dont know what to do anymore.

After i start to flash with RUT 1.2.2, i'm waiting for about 300-350 sec and on my screen appear the following message: Reflash finished and the error:

Also, my phone remains with the black screen and the following message:

I'm using Windows XP SP3, i reinstalled all the drivers, i tried also with another *.nb0 file from another source and the result is the same. Please help me, i don't know what to do anymore!!! I'm blocked here.:confused::confused:

OK, I have found a way qround this problem. Now I have Motorola Quench XT3 running Android 2.2 (Cyanogen mod) :D ; it had android 1.6 in the beginning. Due to lack of time, I will tell you what I did a bit later.

I posted description of what I did to Motorola Quench XT3 (XT502, Greco) running Android 1.6 here:

Result is working cyanogen mod (Android 2.2), no problems except it's minor bugs (it is still not supported for Z71-type phones). Please, let me know about your experience if you try my way.

I don't guarantee anything, of course :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dragosdydy:
Hello again. But now i'm happy. Guess what was the problem? THE COMPUTER. First of all i tried on a Windows 7 (64) and RUT didn't work for me. After i read that RUT it;s working fine on Windows XP SP3, i tried on a WinXP SP3 and i get the error above...after 2 days of hard work i realized that i have another computer, but with Windows 7 (32). I tried with that and everything was fine, i succeeded on installing 1.6.2 from apanda.

So i have an advice for those who are in the same trouble like me and got the "Task 2 of 3 etc." error: TRY ON ANOTHER COMPUTER.

Good Luck!!:rolleyes:

[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
This is strange, I have a file that keeps dissapearing! I keep a .pls file for one of my local radio stations in a "My Documents" folder on my storage card. I usually tap the file and it opens in TCPMP and streams the station. Or I can open TCPMP and browse to the file. Every so often, the file will be missing. The first time it happened I thought I had deleted it accidentally, but it has happened several times now. I can't seem to trace it to anything i'm doing like soft resets or program installs. I just recently upgraded to the latest Energy ROM but I always take my cards out before I flash and it was there when I checked afterward. Sometimes TCPMP will crash when i try to play it but the file will still be there. All other files in that folder stay in place. Anyone got any idea what could be causing that.
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Did you try to search for the file while connected to your Windows PC?
[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
good idea! did that just now, but it didn't find it...
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Make sure you change the view option on your computer to show hidden files. File's just don't disappear. If it really is, then that's weird and I would love to know what it causing it as well.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Just make sure you're connected via active sync and not disc drive mode when you go search for it that way. Also, just to be certain....you're sure you're looking in the My Documents folder on the SD card, and not the one on the phone, correct?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
could it be that the my docs folder is being synced, but only in one direction, so the file on the phone is being deleted because it isn't in my docs on the pc?

just a thought.

maybe store it somewhere else for a while, see if it continues to vanish.
[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
Check, all my computers are set to show hidden files, and I agree files usually don't disappear.

check and double check. I actually did it both ways, I connected as a drive and through active sync just to be sure.

I think you might be on to something...gonna put the file back and sync with both pc's I use and see if It does it. But....I have other files in that same folder some of which are recent and they are not going anywhere...
[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
sync'd with both pc's one windows 7 and the other XP, and did soft reset....file is still there....will update when/if it happens again...
[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
ok, happened again. Noticed it this morning. Can't search right now but will later. The only big change I've made recently is adding android to the root of the SD card, not sure how/if that could affect a file in a sub folder. I have not sync'd since i last noticed the file there. I have not installed or uninstalled any apps (aside from android) since i last noticed it. I have not deleted any files from that folder although i have moved a few. I've been very cautious around that folder. I have also not used TCPMP since I last saw it. I have no clue why this file moves/dissapears but i'm determined to figure it out. any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
I know when it happens

It has to do with Android, I don't know why. It's been a while because I haven't installed an Android build to my SD card in a while. I just noticed both files there yesterday. Last night I tried this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747492 Android build, but couldn't get the internet to work. I then decided to delete only the folders that Android installed after the initial boot. The two .pls files I'm concerned with are located at SDCard\My Documents\file.pls. And the "My documents" folder is otherwise intact. I have not checked exactly where/when in the process the files get deleted/removed and I can still not rule out user error, but I know i did not go into that folder and delete anything when I deleted the Android folders soo....Now that I know it's for sure related to android I can recreate the process and determine at which step the files go away. to be continued...
[HD2 General] mr1ncred1ble:
Did everything over again tonight and, unbelievably, the files disappeared after the first time I ran android. I have no clue how or why but that's exactly what happened. I copied the files back to Storage Card\My Documents\ , plugged in usb and let active sync connect. the files were still there. I then copied over the Android files, and checked again. both files still there. Restarted the device, checked for the files still there. Navigated to the android folder, ran clrcad and haret and android started. Did the initial setup and let android load completely. I then restarted the phone, checked for the files and they were gone :eek: . They were the only files gone. Why would android delete those two files??

Hello guys! I'm new to the app, CacheMate. I would like to know your settings please :):eek:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] KarateExplosion6:
Would you mind telling me a little bit more about CacheMate? I ask because I was doing some research on Linux partition swap sizes last week and frequently ran into people on the G1 board and elsewhere saying that you can set the swap size to "0 MB" provided you "use CacheMate." What's does this program do and what's the benefit?

Appreciate any help!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xr4v3nx:
Here sir :)

http://www.aaandroid.com/index.php/cachemate/

Basically, what it does is it removes cache from your phone's internal memory and if you want, your SD card too, thus, gives you extra space for stuff.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] joshw0000:
It's a great asset if your browse the net a lot. Once click and you've freed a lot of memory.

I guess it has more options to play with? We love options :)

And it could clean caches in the SD.

[Epic 4G General] rmt5:
So I plan on picking up the Epic next week. I've seen in videos that it comes installed with a 16gig Class 2 (pretty slow) microSD card. If I were to replace this with a class 6 microSD card, would that speed up the phone at all?

thanks!

Edit: Or a class 8 or 10 card. Is there any reason to think 1. there would be any incompatibility and 2. that it would help the overall speed of the phone?
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
There is no class 8 or 10, and no, your phone won't be much faster at all with a class 6.
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
The former is just not true, which a simple Google search could have told you. There's no class 8 AFAIK, but there is definitely a class 10.

Now...will it make your phone faster? For certain things, perhaps. Loading large thumbnail images in the gallery, taking pictures, loading applications installed to the SD card once we get Froyo, all will likely be made faster. However, in terms of value/money, I wouldn't recommend it. There shouldn't be any incompatibility, however it won't improve the overall speed of the phone (which really shouldn't need any improvement), only a few very specific tasks that access the SD card.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
You're ignorant!

I have a class 10, and it won't speed up your phone unless you have your apps installed on your card.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
Between the stock class 2 and the class 6 that I bought, I didn't notice much app speed difference on my Nexus.

Read/write speeds were better when taking pictures/loading files however.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Ok let me clear this up...1 yes there is a class 10 (going for like almost $100)

now as for the difference...Class only gives you guaranteed Minimum Speeds once the card fragments.

Normally most cards do about 16mb read/8mb write..BUT once the card starts to fragment with data like your HD your speeds will go down. A class 2 card guarantees you that it will be no slower then 2mbps..a class 6 card guarantees you it will be no less then 6mbps.

Now why is minimum important? well when your recording things like HD movies or etc and it fragments you don't want your movie to stutter.

Considering though max our phones can do is 720p at this point a class 10 is pretty much useless...a class 2 is ok if you plan to use it for storage(and minimum deleting) or not use SD card often but want to have it available...examples class 2 for songs is ok.
[Epic 4G General] entropism:
A little harsh? Nahhh, of course not.

Yes, there's a class 10, there's no class 8.
[Epic 4G General] NeonMonster:
I would love to get a 16GB class 6 for my Epic, but $80 bucks is still a bit too steep for my tastes.
[Epic 4G General] ben7337:
How about $51 including shipping?
