[Droid X Android Development] chewybang:
I have a rooted Droid X, OTA 2.2, no themes, using ADW Launcher.

I changed the LCD density to 160 on the build.prop file and I love it; however, it's causing this glitch on my notifications bar:

(http)i22.photobucket.com/albums/b328/chewybang/snap20101021_131858.png

(can't embed the picture because I'm a new member. Boo!)

The notification bar is transparent (I don't mind that glitch as much but would like to know why) and the notifications are actually still displaying as if they were at 240 density. I have Spare Parts installed and it fixes most of my programs when I have compatibility mode set to "off" but it doesn't fix this. If I got to 180 density it works properly but I rather find the reason why this is not stretching correctly.

Anyone have any ideas? I can't be the only one with this issue, right?
[Droid X Android Development] NegativeOne:
Read the thread. It's only a few pages long. That tweak causes problems. Only way to fix the problems is to undo the tweak.
[Droid X Android Development] chewybang:
I read it and I know it causes problems but I was hoping somebody knew a way of fixing that or knew of a workaround other than changing the resolution. Plenty of smart folks in here
[Droid X Android Development] NegativeOne:
The discussion explains that the issue is that some apps are not coded properly to handle such settings. it isn't a different resolution btw.
[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Only way to fix it would be to re-code the apps that are giving you trouble. Sorry, thats just the way it is :) and its not the resolution thats changing.. Its the screen density. Basically, cramming more stuff into the same area. Resolution is not affected.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the3dman:
try opening the sd card with root access.

Open the terminal and type:

sudo nautilus /media/

Then just select one of your sd cards.

If this works to access them then you need to change the permissions to allow ubuntu to access them with read and write without root.

I connect my phone and it is mounted automagically, and I can move the files from/to the phone.

Do you have se_linux installed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aksoutherland:
It also works just fine for me. It may have to do with permissions on the folders when mounted. From a cli you may try running this command with the phone not connected:

sudo chown -R user:user /media

Just replace "user" with your username.

Then connect the phone and see what happens.

[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Hello, trying to help a friend who purchased an unlocked Vibrant, but is using his At&t sim card in the phone. He also believes the phone may be rooted.

Here is the problem, we double checked everything. Google syncs is turned on, all settings are correct. Auto sync of contacts is check marked. Yet, the phone will NOT sync his contacts from google into his vibrant. We also tried adding a new contact in the phone, and saving it to google contacts, which techinically should also now show the contact in the phone also, and it wont show up in the phone, but it does show up when you logg into google on the computer.

Anyone know whats going on? Thank you.
[Vibrant General] smerff:
I would try a factory reset, if that doesn't work contact samsung for a warranty exchange. I can't think of anything else to try.
[Vibrant General] jonjacobmoon:
As far as I can tell, this is a real problem.

I posted this in the T-Mobile forum some time ago without resolution.

http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsu...l-memory-not-syncing-UP-to-google/td-p/427413

For whatever reason, contacts in the internal memory or on the sim card, don't sync up to google. Contacts will sync down to the phone. As far as I can tell, there are three kinds of contacts: sim, phone, and google. None of these can mix or cross lines in anyway.

Its f'ed up, but you could take your sim card into the store, use another type of phone to sync from sim to google and then all your contacts would be there. Once they are there you are fine and should then save all contacts to google.

I am not sure why this issue hasn't gotten a lot of attention. Perhaps it is just on a view phones or just on a few networks. Not sure.
[Vibrant General] jonjacobmoon:
Sorry, just re-read your message.

Are you sure your display options are selected correctly? You have the option to show only show contacts with phone numbers, to show any or all of the three types.

That might be your problem. I have never had an issue with contacts in the cloud showing on my phone. Its really the other way around for me.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
yes, when you go to google contacts through your computer and enter a new contact with a number, it should sync with the phone, but it doesn't

what could be wrong?

also how could he check to see if the phone is rooted or not?
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ download terminal emulator from the market and when you open it simply key "su" (no quotation marks). If you are rooted it will return a "#"... this is the absolute easiest method to determine if the phone is rooted.

Go to contacts and display options... uncheck everything but google and show ALL contacts (the check box above this), not just those with phone numbers.

Can he send an email from gmail and it show up pretty quickly on your gmail account? Has he actually logged into his google account on the phone?
[Vibrant General] jonjacobmoon:
Go to contacts and hit menu.

Hit "Display Options"

Make sure that "only contacts with phones" is not selected (just in case)

Also, make sure that "Google" is selected.

If it still doesn't show, go to the home screen, settings, and accounts and sync. Select your google account. When was the last time the contacts synced? If not recently, then select sync now and see if the number shows.

Hope that helps.

I want to flash userdata.img, system.img, recovery.img, boot.img files via ADB to my Desire in order to unroot my 2.1, then make it able to upgrade to 2.2 via OTA.

I am using rooted HK 2.1 ROM, have downloaded Asia WWE 2.1 RUU and extracted those .img files.

How can I disable the signature checking? I've got below errors when I tried to flash the img file to my Desire.

C:\r5>fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

sending 'userdata' (2 KB)... OKAY

writing 'userdata'... INFOsignature che

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txitxi2004:
If you are using a custom recovery like clockwork mod or Amon ra. There is an option called "Toggle Signature".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
thanks, but ADB is unable to connect to the device if it is in recovery mode, can only be in fastboot mode. So that I need to disable signature checking in fastboot mode.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekojan:
I'm looking the answer for the same problem. I get "signature verification failed" when using fastboot flash method. Any instructions got how to disable signature check?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
i've tried flashing the original recovery.img to Desire, still can't solve the signature check problem. I also have tried doing below:

push flash_image and mtd0.img (what should be the CID of HK 2.1 official rom?) to Desire through ADB, the execute like: flash_image misc mtd0.img

however the upgrade still couldn't pass the signature check... sigh..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0kes:
You can't do that with the bootloader on the desire. Our version of fastboot is "S-ON" (security enabled). You need an engineering bootloader (S-OFF) to flash images using fastboot. Hopefully we will get this one day.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekojan:
So, is there any way I can flash the images I build for Desire? (I have rebuild the froyo platform for desire)

Can I flash them via sdcard using for e.g clockwork or similar recovery method?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0kes:
Pack the contents of out/product/target/bravo/system into a zip fille (just the system directory) along with the boot.img, and flash it using clockwork recovery. Toggle signed files to off to allow this or sign the file using testsign.jar (you can find it on the board here somewhere).

You will have to remove the symlinks in out/product/target/bravo/system/bin and symlink them again during the flashing process using an update-script or you will have a lot of broken stuff (like dhcp), check inside an existing rom like CyanogenMod to see how the update-script is constructed and how get the syntax right.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
Currently in order to unroot Desire, is to push flash_image and mtd0.img to Desire through ADB, and then execute like: flash_image misc mtd0.img, then is able to run any RUU to unroot Desire. Since we still do not have RUU 2.1 or 2.2 for official HK rom (not test rom), we have no way to unroot our HK Desire.

I am thinking if there is any trick can mimic a RUU .exe file which is able to change back the CID or signature file to an official Hong Kong one. Then OTA can be done as it check signature during OTA upgrade. Do you think it is workable?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekojan:

What do you think what is wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieftm:
technically, that is incorrect.

S-ON or S-OFF is a flag that's being interpreted by fastboot/hboot.

The engineering bootloader you talk about, ignores this flag and exposes developer options like flashing through the fastboot protocol directly, without a signature.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0kes:
I like the theory, but you would probably have to fool the RRU so that it thinks your img files have the same checksums as the original img files. I've never heard of anyone being able to repack and flash an RRU file. :)

I think something is wrong with your update-script.

Btw, forget about your system.img, you can't use it .. you have to work with the contents of the system directory instead :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st0kes:
Are you sure about that? I had always thought that S-OFF meant it was an engineering bootloader.

I didn't think you could get an engineering bootloader that was also S-ON.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
unrevoked 3.2 seems to be able to set to S-OFF!! but waiting it release
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieftm:
Bootloaders are either ship or eng.

The latter ignores secuflag and allows extended fastboot commands.

So bootloader or s-off are two separate things.

S-off is mainly for unsigned flashing and nand writelocks.

only on cdma desire.

For gsm desire you will need to wait for our s-off/eng hboot 0.93 release.

This is a patched hboot to ignore security, and allow extended fastboot commands.

So essentially S-OFF and eng.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Flashing the misc partition allows you to bypass (fake, really) version checks with an RUU flash, nothing more. It doesn't affect root nor does it have anything to do with signature checking (which is currently impossible to disable on the GSM Desire).
[General Questions and Answers] danisher:
Hello everyone

I'm having trouple running WM 6.5 on my HTC TYTN II.

After install it reboots and I can use it for the stuff I want. But when I've used it for some time (everything from 10 minutes to a days work), it hangs at some point. When it hangs I have to pull the battery and insert it again, which might be just fine if it remembered that I've already set up my phone and all my data is lost.

When I insert the battery again it boots and ask me to setup my phone, i.e. align screen, set clock (time is even reset) and so forth. I have to install all my apps (read: maybe 5) again, setup my exchange account and so on.

Can anybody help or have any ideas what to do?

After an install I do a hard reset and it boots.

I've installed a few releases, so I don't think it's related to that, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
I have had my Galaxy S for a bit over a week now and am pretty disappointed with the battery performance. Most days I take my battery off the charger at 7am and it reaches 15% low battery warning by 1-2pm. I do spend a fair amount of time reading XDA and listening to music. I'm currently running Stock JM1 firmware with no lagfixes.

Here's a list of my apps that I have installed:

http://www.appbrain.com/user/Lokhor/apps-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s

I am running JuiceDefender which I thought would make a big difference and does not. I have also set Tasker to change the Brightness level to 20 (below the safety threshold) when the battery reaches 50% or below, otherwise the brightness is at the minimum (30%).

I have heard that you need to condition the battery so I have been trying to do this but it doesn't seem to have had much effect. Today I used my phone only casually and it's currently at 22% after 12.5 hours. The battery use details show the following:

Display at 56% being on for 2h22m and 13s.

Cell Standby 18% Time on 9h21m, time without signal 13%

Phone Idle 7% Time on 7h33m

Android System 5% CPU usage 23m39s CPU foreground 24s

Android OS 3% CPU Usage 13m 27s

Is this normal? Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Please help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemethb:
I don't know what others are telling you about conditioning a LiIon battery but you don't have to. LiIon batteries don't suffer from what NiCad do. Some do suggest wearing the battery down to nil and then charging it up again. However, this is pretty bad for the battery and should not be done more than once every 30 cycles. With every LiIon battery I've ever owned I've either trickle charged it or charged it when it wasn't too low and they've all lasted over 3 years. I've never conditioned one.

Anyway, my advice to you is to see how long your battery lasts in standby. Mine could probably last 3 days or more if I don't bother it too much (with sync, wifi and all that good stuff). I find the worst contender for battery drain is the display. The only problem I see with your stats there is that I've played Asphalt5 for around an hour and a half which is quite heavy on juice and it only drains roughly 10%-15%. Then again you're browsing the web so maybe probably worse.
