[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edufur:
Thanks for checking for me... I went ahead and bit the bullet and paid the buck for the uninstaller. It was called sfl-prod-release. The only way I knew that was it was because of the helmet.

Thanks again... this is now solved for me. But it is on record as to what it is if someone needs to look for it with their own free explorer to manually delete it.
[EVO 4G General] letshaveDEX:
Hi folks, I'm running CM6 8/26 nightly with Snap v7.4 kernel with SetCPU set to conservative on 998mhz max and 245mhz min. I'm getting horrid battery life and I think I'm doing something wrong: I wiped battery stats in Clockwork and now my battery SUCKS. -.-

Question is, what its the proper way of calibrating an Evo battery? I've seen the official HTC response but I don't think it's going to make a difference. Isn't there another method that requires you to drain the battery? Any info will be appreciated I've been looking at forums all day.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
You can't just wipe battery stats - there's a process to go through. What you're referring to is Cyanogen's battery recalibration method found here. Read through fully before wiping anything.
[EVO 4G General] letshaveDEX:
Thank u very much, I wiped the stats by mistake
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Actually it is almost as simple as wiping battery stats. That command he gives is what the wipe battery stats command in the recoveries do.

1. Charge battery to full (where it's actually 100% not green light.

2. Boot into recovery wipe battery stats.

3. Fully boot into os then unplug charger.

4. Leave unplugged until the phone shuts itself off.

At that point you should be calibrated.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
On a related topic, the Battery Graph app available in the market also has an option to wipe battery stats from within the OS, doesn't it? Might save having to reboot into recovery once you're charged up.
[EVO 4G General] daving313:
It's a lithium battery. You can't condition it. Just use it as normal and ignore all these placebo effect steps.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
This is all about calibrating the software (battery stats).
[EVO 4G General] Crotchety:
They're not calibrating the battery. they're calibrating the phone to know when the battery is really fully charged which, until you do this, is not the case when the charge light turns green.
[EVO 4G General] letshaveDEX:
Regardless, none of this worked. I've quit all services, no sync, auto brightness and wifi and I'm still getting horrible battery life. SetCPU is set to conservative. It's BULL**** my display is on for thirty minutes and the battery dies 20%. I played a game on my friend's iPhone 4 for twenty minutes and his battery barely died 3%. This is really unacceptable and I'm probably going to return my Evo or sell it if the battery life doesn't get better soon from these methods I'm seeing online
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Crazy man, maybe something happened cause that is pretty bad.

Have a backup to go back to, prior to this happening, to see if it reverts back to normal?
[EVO 4G General] letshaveDEX:
Naw nothing happened to my phone...... All of us Evo owners should be able to use this beautiful phone with all of the features at max without the battery going to ****. My phone has behaved this way since unboxing. I'm not a big fan of the iPhone 4 but I will give it props on battery life. I have yet to try the longer HTC method but it seems kind of pointless.....
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
If it has always been like that then you may have a bad battery, if it started after you wiped the battery data then it is just showing you bad readings.

You should be able to get a good calibration if you reset your battery data again, maybe try through your recovery if possible, and then fully charge it with your phone turned off. Once it is charged you can either use it normally till it dies or you can tether, use gps, watch youtube, etc, and drain the battery down. Just make sure you go from a full charge to the phone shutting itself off without plugging it in to anything. Do that charging with it off and using it till it dies two or three times and your battery stats will be calibrated.

When I did this to mine it showed my battery at 0% for at least half an hour before it finally died, and that was with me listening to pandora and browsing the web.

Edit: FYI, the Evo's talk time is usually between 6.5 to 7.5 hrs, the iPhone 4 is around 7 hours also. If your battery is not lasting that long you need to take it in to sprint and have them give you a new battery.
[EVO 4G General] Crotchety:
HTC's method worked wonders for me. i'm a heavy heavy HEAVY user (no, not fat) and I get a good 10 hours with everything besides 4g on plus surfing, gaming and tethering for SEVERAL hours. For all that I do on my EVO 10 hours is HUGE. If I have a moderate day of usage (maybe a little more than moderate for the average user) I get around 19 hours.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Btw none of this will help if you are getting near 100% awake time. If that's the case you need to find the software causing that first.
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
Try this, it helped me. I did not come up with this btw.

With phone on, charge until green.

Unplug and turn phone completely off.

Charge phone until green once again.

Unplugand turn on. Once phone had turned completely on turn the phone back off again.

Charge until green one more time then unplug and turn on and you're done!

[Hero CDMA General] don_walio:
Sorry if the answer is obvious but I could nt find a definitive answer anywhere.

So is full flash experience with adobe 10.1 possible on HTC HERO. I have Darchdroid 2.8 running on mine.

thx
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
guys... theres like 15 other threads asking the same thing, and multiple posts within rom threads..

If you want flash in any kinda way (lite) you need to be running a sense_ui rom

For example both zenheroFX and zenEXP have flash.

Darchdroid, aosp and cm roms will not be able to run it.
[Hero CDMA General] don_walio:
Thanks for pointing that out. Really liked DD2.8 otherwise.
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
what are you guys doing that makes you want/need flash on a phone with a tiny screen? I really am curious, I cannot think of anything that I would want to do on a phone that requires flash. Are you trying to play face book flash games or something? Hulu could maybe be a use, but flash video barely works on an Atom running anything but windows, so it sure as hell isn't going to work on an ARM running android...
[Hero CDMA General] don_walio:
I am interested in some news websites that show live feed of tv channel. went to sprint's store and evo played it really well.
[Hero CDMA General] ipfreelytech:
so flash video.... the evo is a much faster phone, also htc put a lot of effort into the version of flash that's on there.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] xheroxkefx:
Well, FINALLY SOUND ON ANDROID!

HOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY!

Thanks to all the DEVS!

If you've had the same problem like i did,

i found this fix on page 710 in the droid post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
I can vouch that this fix does work, posted on post 710 of the [PRJ][GSM&CDMA][CAB&RAR] XDAndroid AOSP Port & Startup Utility [8/26] SOUND IS FIXED! thread

to install:

1. delete current modules.tar file in your andboot folder

2. place both files contained in the .rar above in the andboot folder.

3. boot android and enjoy.

I find that this fix makes the android music player a bit more responsive some how as well, before it would lagg a lot but with this fix its almost flowing like it would on a regular android device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kanwal236:
thank you so much for posting the fix here :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kanwal236:
theres a problem with this fix, replacing the .tar file only does not fix the problem nor does it mess anything up

replacing the zimage as well does fix the problem HOWEVER, it also stops wifi from working =(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
Not true, I have this fix installed on my latest BLAZN build and wifi is working for me, so is my 3g data and calls. Load times are the same, and all i've noticed is that virtual keyboards are a bit slow. Market place is still working. Also Facebook account seems to not be able to sync on the phone under accounts and you cannot create a new account for facebook, but the facebook app does work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] kanwal236:
thats strange, cause i did a fresh install of android through the cab and then used this fix to fix the static, but my wifi doesn't turn on then, it says error when trying to turn it on.

I should mention i have a tilt 2, might have different results depending on carrier version?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] tonev:
Does this also fix the headphones? Because currentky there is no sound when you plug in headphones
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ambegojapes:
No atm no headphone use is working. I've tried my self with the dongle HTC gives you with the tilt 2/touch pro 2 and no luck

hmm, i have a tilt 2 as well, Running Energy Rom, Wifi works for me, so does data, GPS and MMS.

do a fresh install of android again from the cab, this time verify that wifi does or doesnt work before you do the fix if wifi is working try the fix and see if that breaks it.

It may just be that the install went bad somewhere along the line and thats why you dont have wifi, but truly I have no idea.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] bjgebg:
great fix i havent tried using the facebook app but it beats the hell outta the static im sure in the next build ref put together everthing will work im waiting on the keyboard fix (tp2)

[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
There is an official Skype for Android that we can install?
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
Yeah, it works fine for me, but it was removed from the market for some reason...

I attached it if anyone cares, but I'm not sure what the difference between this one and the one posted by the OP is...
[XPERIA X10 General] Hunch:
I installed this apk but I can't use this skype to call my online contacts. Can you use this app to call your online skype friends from your X10?
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
It can't make calls...Check out Fring in the market, I know it used to let you make Skype calls, but I'm not sure if the app still works because of some legal issues with Skype.
[XPERIA X10 General] el56:
Not Fring

Fring was cut off from access to Skype.

There are a few apps that talk to Skype IM (such as Meebo) but not voice.

In May Skype said that they would make an Android client for all phones to be released sometime this year (right now there is a limited version that only works with/over Verizon). But there hasn't been any update from Skype since then.

[XPERIA X10 General] Hunch:
is there a skype for android 2.1? nimbuzz, fring and all alternatives suck. I do need skype on my phone, skype for iphone is really good and it never lags. No such thing for android?
[XPERIA X10 General] gupta.anurag08:
Its not working..in singapore :(
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
The reason no such thing exists for Android is because of Verizon Wireless buying exclusive rights for their Android phones only.

The official Skype application is probably one of the worst "official" Android apps out there. Also, there's no such thing as "free Skype calls". Thanks to Verizon, the official app uses your plan's minutes to make calls.

a couple days ago i started getting force close on some apps that require root. but not all of them.last night i couldnt get any of them to run, so i reflashed the root update, got it working on most apps, but i cant get su access via adb.

i have the latest drivers from samsung phones in debug mode, and it connects to adb, but it wont grant permission. ???

what am i doing wrong?

why did root quit?

why is root working thru terminal but not adb?

I want to boot in recovery mode and factory reset. I currently have cyanogen ROM running (not sure that's relevant). Anything I need to be aware of to make sure I don't fry my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Singhman:
I had this problem of noticing my phone is turned off at random times (usually once every 2-3 days). I would pull out to use my phone, and its off. I tried calling my phone to see if maybe it was just stuck in sleep, but it went to voice mail. This is very annoying because i cannot rely on my device to be on when it should be (ie- for an alarm) The only way to get it back on was to either re-install battery or hold down power for about 10 seconds. This is my 3rd SGS and it happened on the 1st one and the 3rd (only had 2nd one for a day).

I just realized today (after the 6th time it happened in 12 days), that it only happens to me at places where i have no signal. It happened at work 3 times (where i get no reception), and once in the forest where i was bikeriding. I was in an area that showed no signal, and shortly after the phone was off. (it doesn't make any shutdown noise or anything, I just realize sometimes the phone has randomly turned itself off.

Could reception have something to do with this? Now that I think about it, the 1st phone i had also turned itself off at work....never at home. Will 2.2 fix this problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

But android 1.5 (and possible above) was weird, in that the default ringtones could only be selected by choosing default. therefore, the ringtone im looking for isnt in that group :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zoltrix:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Geo411m:
if you're asking how to get them to work on your phone all you have to do is make a folder called media on your sdcard. In the media folder make another folder called audio and place yet another folder called ringtones and notifications. just place your ringtones and notification sounds in their respective folders.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zoltrix:
No that i know how to do.

Im asking for the default ringtones from android 1.5 Apparently, theyre not stored in /system/media. In that directory are all the optional ringtones.

When selecting ringtones, you can choose from the list, or select default. The default ringtone is NOT found on that list and therefore NOT in system/media as far as I know

[Droid 2 General] Dexter_nlb:

Whenever I talk on the phone and I'm yelling, the phone produces a "reverb" almost as if i am making a peice of metal flex (or like hitting a gong).

Then, I turn the phone over and tap just above and below the galaxy s logo, and I get a rattle and another reverb, respectively.

Kinda feels cheap, was wondering if it was just my phone or has anyone else noticed it? Also, what components are causing it?
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
Reverb, unnoticed. The sound you're hearing that is the auto-focus lens shifting on it's springs as you tap.
