[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lordenki:
Alright I recently rooted and did a p3 kernel and a cyanogen rom. After a little trial and error and 8 million unneeded backups all is flying nicely. My only problem the stock ringtone of "droid" is gone, not in any list anywhere. I actually used said ringtone for txts so the problem is if I go into settings/sound when I select notifications settings crashes every time. Now since all my apps that use notification sounds are customizable they all work just fine. Problem is I want my damn droid sound back. All the ones I can get from ringtone apps aren't quiet as clean/clear or the have dead air time before or after. Now I used titanium backup before and after to no avail. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks for the help.

*bump* okay still unaware WHY said file disappeared but I've since fixed the crashing problem. Anyone care to send me the stock droid.ogg file? I would be greatly appreciative.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tendzin:
Hi everybody!

Perhaps someone already encountered this like me.

Whatever the Rom I use, my diamond begins to freeze sometimes, so I reset.

And when I reset It asks me to tap the screen to calibrate the device and choose the date/time as if it was a first boot.

When it does not freeze it works admirably.

Hard reset did not solve this issue.

May be my Diamond will die soon :eek:

All the help you can provide is very welcome.

NB: My diamond is 1,5 year old, and has been flashed a lot of times.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] iknighty:
You've never used MTTY have you?

Before flashing a rom you should first use MTTY. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540290
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tendzin:
I did use MTTY. Thx for the link anyway iknighty :cool:

I changed to another ROM and it seems to work properly, dunno for how long. This is strange.

I thought It was due to a bad phone unlock. I called my phone operator recently to unlock the phone and the girl asked me for the IMEI.

But pb is that my IMEI is not the same as the one I had when I bought it: some days after I bought it, all stopped working: black screen. I brought it back and they changed all the system in my diamond, so with a new IMEI.

And the girl from the phone operator I had on the phone did not understand this and gave me a code, for the old IMEI. AFter that I encountered such issues.

So I reformulate my question: DO someone have an idea of what can be done?

1st off i want to thank all of XDA Developers, Android rom builders and all the members.

if this was all ready posted please delete this thread or move it to the proper thread.

my specs

HSPL3_PKG

Radio_2_12_50_02_2

Win mobile rom OzDROID_1.00

android SuperHD2_1.1

and or any android test build

well if you are like me and cant get enough of trying new android builds and you are tired or lazy like me of renaming them then try this.

unrar or unzip your Android Build mines is SuperHD2_1.1 go into the folder and make shure your Android folder is renamed SuperHD2_1.1 or whatever you want now copy the name of folder SuperHD2_1.1 or whatever you want then open the folder and open up startup.txt and change this line.

set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

boot

to

set cmdline "rel_path=SuperHD2_1.1"

boot

if you all ready have different android builds on your storage card then you need to copy the startup.txt over to your pc and edit

set cmdline "rel_path=Android"

boot

my mattcfroyo1.5 startup text

set mtype 2524

set ramaddr 0x11800000

set ramsize 0x1e400000

set initrd_offset 0x00a00000

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set cmdline "rel_path=mattcfroyo1.5"

boot

Just curious if i order my captivate from amazon's wireless center(since it's cheaper than at&T) can i just put my iphone 3gs sim card in it and start using its data services? Downloading,uploading, etc. or do i have to call at&t and activate something for this device instead?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Divinedark:
The new data plans are all the same across platforms, but if you're like me and are grandfathered into the unlimited data plan, then you're going to have to have the feature changed on your account. Unlimited Iphone data and Unlimited Smartphone data are two seperate features.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranova:
do not call in to have it switched from the iPhone data plan to the smartphone plan if you want to be able to swap back *easily* to an iPhone.

The iPhone data plan works fine on both the captivate and iPhone.

The Smartphone data plan only works with the Captivate - and requires APN changing with the iPhone, which may not work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] back2honda:
Be careful ordering the phone through Amazon wireless because it doesn't help you grandfather the unlimited plan to the Captivate. When you check out you have to select a new data plan, by doing so AT&T won't be able to honor your unlimited data plan. Luckily I was able to call AT&T and correct it. Amazon includes a new sim card that you activate over the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikejames07:
I second just putting your iPhone sim into the Captivate, that is exactly what I did and I've had no problems since. I also was able to swap back and forth btw and iPhone and the Captivate with no problems as well because the data plan is still the iPhone plan on my bill. I don't know how it works with a phone that's been activated on a new sim card however.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
You can do this, but at some point AT&T may re-adjust your plan (still unlimited). It should not matter if the phone shipped with a new SIM card or not - as there is no activation procedure on GSM phones. AT&T likes to know the IMEI number of your phone, but they don't stop service over it.

I have a friend that tests phones for one manufacturer - they ship him a new phone every month or so (mostly android) and he just pops his iPhone SIM in and goes. A couple times he would put his SIM back in the phone and have no data and he would have to call to get it fixed.

As for Amazon - make sure you are getting the phone on upgrade and not new service. If it is new service then they expect you to keep your old line active too.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vexingv:
I've run up against the Nexus One's meager internal storage. I don't have that many applications installed and what i do have is essential. My

stock, unrooted

Nexus One has ~20 mb of free internal phone storage, which prevents me from trying out some of the new applications that are large in size, eg. Angry Birds beta is 11mb or Google Earth is 20mb. What are my options for using my 8gb micosd card as additional storage space?

Here's what i've been able to gather on my options:

1. Froyo's "Move to SD card" option only moves the apk file. Applications themselves need to provide this functionality. I've already removed and uninstalled what I can, and still have very little free space.

2. Apps2SD: requires me to partition my sd card with an ext3 partition and install a custom rom that boots this partition.

3. use SetInstallLocation: requires me to Root device. Would probably have to uninstall/reinstall all my applications.

My phone is

stock

, no root or custom firmware, and I'd like to keep it that way. I know about the accessibility and ease of the 1-click root application, but working 80 hrs a week, I don't really have the time to mess around with keeping up to date with firmware, bugs, etc. I did this with WinMo and it got pretty old/tiring after awhile. Besides, I've been very happy with the stock android OS and have only consider getting root access to install some programs, but have not been tempted enough to do so. I'm also a Linux/Unix commandline noob and have no experience with android SDK/ADB

Help? Opinions?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedwa:
Actually you can root your device without reinstalling your applications. The best bet would be to go that route and then use a program like titanium backup (donate version, 3.99) to force move it. The only thing not to do is to move anything that has widgets and doesn't support move to SD as it will no longer display the widget (program will usually still work). That way you don't have to have ALL programs installing on the SD and still have to worry about the installation location. Also, titanium is great to back up all settings incase something horribly goes wrong and either you have to flus your system or you get daring and start installing custom roms. :)

It's one of the most useful $4 I've spent since I got my N1. And it will stay with me if I ever move to another Android device too. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vexingv:
I'm a bit confused by "force moving" applications via titanium backup and then your statement about not moving anything that doesn't support move to SD. Isn't that what I've already done now when I've moved all programs that support moving to SD?

I understand that programs that require background services, widgets, etc are probably better off on the internal storage as it's likely faster and always accessible as compared to SD storage. But some apps like XBMC remote, epocrates, nytimes, epicurious, adobe acrobat (which are all apps > 3-4 mbs in size) probably dont need to be on internal storage, yet don't support Move to SD by the application developer.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
#3 does not require root if performed via adb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unknownrebelx:
I think I did this. I now have the ability to move ANY app to SD (although you may want to stay away from moving widgets and the like)

Could somebody post that method? It involved a few simple commands via command line on a windows pc. Something about setlocation....

I have much more room now that I can move everything to SD. I'm not sure why this isn't the default method in FroYo. Does anybody know if there are any serious side effects from doing this? I haven't noticed any so far.....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Download ModInstallLocation. Lets switch the install location to sd card and that lets you use the applications panel to move apps to the sd card. I've got nearly everything that isn't a widget or system app on the sd card. Works great :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melwan:
This. Plus you can root using 1-click root app without unlocking your bootloader nor installing any different rom. In fact, nothing will be reinstalled, not even your apps. It's literally 1 tap and you are rooted, then you can benefit from ModInstallLocation hassle free.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vexingv:
wow. that really wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. after using 1-click root, i downloaded Mod Install Location from the market, and set install to 2 (external). then used Android OS' Settings>>Applications>>Managage Applications panel to move most of what I could. there were still some apps that had the option to "Move to SD" greyed out, but most were movable. I'm now up to 55mb free. this will hold me over for now although more installed internal storage, as seen in some newer android devices, would have been the better option.

Do most of you keep

setInstallLocation 2

or change it back to

setInstallLocation 0

and then switch to move applications as needed? I recall reading elsewhere that somet applications have trouble or don't work correctly when installing to SD card initially.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
I sort of started explaining my issue in the Skyraider Vanilla RC2 thread... but I didn't want to take over that thread for my own issues.

This is what happened-

I tried to install this update that was on the thread, I did a nandroid +ext back up before I did so. When I ran the update it said something about sense 3.1 update so I thought something was a bit wierd, when I turned on my phone, all my apps were rapidly force closing in front of the setup window so I rebooted my phone into recovery and did the nandroid restore. I cleared dalik cache as well, just to make sure things restored smoothly. My phone turned on, but was laggy and and the sd card was read only, it didnt show up when I attached it to my computer... I didn't have the original Vanilla RC2 file on my card, since I initially installed with rom manager, but then switched over to the amon ra recovery image so it was not there.

I rebooted into recovery again, and cleared dalik again, and cache, and then cleared the ext part of my sd card because I thought maybe there was an issue there... Now i turned on my phone my launcher is gone, some of the apps that came with vanilla in the first place are gone along with most of my other apps aside from appbrain for some reason. The phone is so laggy it is almost not even usable as a phone... What should I do?

Buy a new sd card? factory reset? I am totally at a loss..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzdroidx:
to andrew

this is what I would do... go back into recovery and do all wipes. then format the card to your desired partitions. toggle usb and redrop the rom you want back on there and run zip from sdcard. You will have a bone stock system again and have to load all the things you want on there, but at least you will have a normal running phone again. If you happened to have things you wanted to save from the sdcard then the nandroid backup you had saved , well you should have drug it off the sdcard to your computer first. Then after you have a setup with the same rom running that you had your nandroid originally made from should load fine when you reload the backup.

1 save that nandroid backup to your pc

2 wipe completely and reformat your card

3 load the rom zip on the card and run it

4 load the nandroid backup to your sdcard and run it

or do 1-3 and start from scratch... hope this helps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
If do have a few backups saved to my computer, (from vanilla 2.5.2) but not the new one. (which is fine)

If I repartition the card, will it go back to being normal again? right now it is read only and will not show up on my computer at all so.. Also when you say wipe, do you mean wipe all data also?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzzdroidx:
yes wipe all the wipes they recovery you use offers then do a factory wipe THEN go into the format options and reformat your card. It wipes it all but you get a fresh start. then after you drag your rom back onto the sdcard and load it then do your nandroid Its possible your sdcard is hosed but not very likely

(4) - Update Your Radio (can't tell you which but search for your ROM and people with confirmed Radio's helping, they are different for everyone.)

(5) - Go to the Market and Download "Overclock Widget" (I had success with underclocking around 650, still very responsive and not killing battery at 998)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bplantonio:
In SetCpu hit info, do long test. Go back to main, hit menu and disable perflock. Slide the max bar wherever you want to underclock it. If you're trying to save battery (no other reason to underclock) go to profiles and enable profiles to whatever you want. Some that i using are

- Temp >50 degrees C

Priority 100

499 max cpu 245 min (ondemand)

- Screen Off

Priority 100

245 max 245 min (ondemand)

You can also set a profile to set the cpu to underclock when the batter drops to certain rates so it will last longer (i underclock to 460 mhz at 25% so i can use it without rushing to a charger)

Im averaging about 2 and a half to three hours of use per 10% of battery (heavy use, not including standby). Send me a PM and i can give you my settings and the ROM im using.
