I had the same thoughts awhile back. Was speaking to a friend about the higher social impacts of open source. The conception and implementation of android into the phone market will and has changed everything. Soon the days of getting screwed by your phone company will be a thing of the past. We will not be dependent on them for our hardware..., forcing them to compete more effectively against other phone companies to gain your business. Since the most we will need them for is a data connection and a phone signal to use our devices..the prices will go down and phone companies will go the route of SEGA...still sticking around but no where near their former glory. I'll be laughing the whole way....all in all I just really hate the phone companies...GO ANDROID

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansdewurst:
Hi!

I´ve got a problem while flashing my Xperia X1. Battery was more than 50%. I used SD Card Method. It began flashing, but stuck at 100%. I tried to softreset and try again, but it stuck again.

After some tries, it didnt start flashing anymore, the battery was down.

Is there any possibility to charge the phone via USB? The rom doesnt boot anymore, it just begins flashing, even without SD Card.

Thanks for suggestions.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] RealR74:
Hello,

Last night I tried to install another radio fw on my Hero because of bad reception since the last one I installed.

I placed the new radio on my SD, rebooted and forgot to push the right buttons to access the "Android system recovery" (RA?) part.

Because it takes ages to wait for the phone to boot I pulled the battery and tried it again witch failed again, pulled the battery again etc.

When I finally managed to acces the "Android system recovery" part I flashed the new GSM radio to my GSM Hero. All the steps in described in the manual I used worked and all looked well.

After rebooting the phone started till the point of the Villainrom logo. I kept the phone on for hours till the battery was fully drained but it stays the same.

I can still acces the "Android system recovery", fast boot etc,

Tried the following:

-Wipe

-Restore backup

I'm getting pretty desperate!! :confused:

I's there anyone who has recovered his Hero from such a situation?

Please help..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pwraggcan:
If you can get to the recovery screen then you're not bricked. just reflash your rom and gapps add on and you should be fine or do a nandroid restore.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RealR74:
Hi pwraggcan,

I already restored a Nadroid backup.. Did not do the trick....

Also I tried to reflash the radio fw... Nothing helps. It just hangs at the unfolding Villainrom Logo which every few minutes restarts unfolding (I don't know how to call it otherwise, I

do not

mean that the phone restarts).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
You're not bricked, so you're OK.

Re-flash the ROM you had installed after wiping your /data

Failing that, remove the SD card as that sometimes helps get the phone to boot.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HomerSp:
If all else fails set up adb and get us a logcat.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Download the ROM again, full wipe & try again... Just to make sure the download didn't go bad?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RealR74:
Thanx pulser_g2!!

I started with the simple solution, removing my SD..

Without the SD is just starts!!!

HAPPY!! :) :)

Thank you for your quick replies!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
You're welcome :)

Clear out your SD on your computer (back it up first), format it, and you should be good to go :)

It's usually the SD when this happens
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkhait:
Does anyone know how to mod the long press volume to skip the song when in locked mode(when the screen is off) in the sense rom. some roms have it built in, but none with sense.
[Vibrant Android Development] SteVoUniT:
I'm not sure if you guys happen to have the same problem as me, but when I go into "adb push" a file into the /system partition I happen to get a "Permission Denied". It made it futile to move the build.prop file In order to change the density as shown in a thread called "[MOD] LCD Density - DIY!" (new user :( sorry can't post links)

Thanks to looking at this useful thread called "[SCRIPT] Quick Remount of /system in Shell"

I've managed to come up with a way to move the build.prop file without using the ADB push method.

REQUIRES BUSYBOX

1. Move the modified build.prop file into the root of your Internal SD.

2. Now from windows use ADB:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

busybox mv /sdcard/build.prop /system/

remount ro

Ctrl+C and your done:)
[Vibrant Android Development] zaduma:
adb push build.prop /sdcard/

? i think it is faster than hitting mount sd, opening folder, etc ?

or adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

Ctrl + C

adb push build.prop /system/

No real reason but etiquette to remount as ro.

BTW: I'm just posting in this thread for no real reason, just sharing ideas not trying to flame or anything.

edit: also mv should work without busybox
[Vibrant Android Development] siirial:
I prefer root explorer. remounts /system as R/W, and has a built in su text editor. Takes all of 30 seconds to open the app, remount, navigate, edit file, save & exit.
[Vibrant Android Development] speoples20:
Whats a good density to set the phone at? And I'm assuming a hard reset will set it back to the default density.
[Vibrant Android Development] zaduma:
Or just editing the density back to 240 and repushing. I personally don't like it changed but I have seen a lot of people set it to 200.
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
I used the LCD density changer and liked the overall smaller home screen, but when I went into the dialer it was offset.

Does this happen with this method also?
[Vibrant Android Development] zaduma:
Most likely, I found some things to be offset when I changed density, I can't remember if the dialer is one of those things. But it does change this same value so yea...
[Vibrant Android Development] SteVoUniT:
Im kind of a newbie at this kind of stuff, but whenever I try to adb push i get a "Permissions Denied", any knowledge of how to fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] junkdruggler:
To fix the offset issue dl spare parts from the market and enable compatibility mode....
[Vibrant Android Development] rsfaze:
sick I will try this, thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] rpcameron:
Regarding those asking about "Permission Denied" errors, the reason is because you are trying to write to a read-only partition. Try running `adb remount` before you push onto /system. This will remount the read-only partitions as read/write without needing to remember the /dev nodes or specific options to `mount`.

For the second part of this, why would you want to change the LCD density of your device? The density setting tells the device how to translate between dips (density independent pixels, which is the native Android system for sizing items on the screen) and real-life pixels. By changing the pixel density, you are messing up the way that Android tells the device to draw things on screen.

It may help to sharpen things on your screen, but you are messing up with the way that things display, and graphics and controls will be confused as to where they really ought to be on the screen.

The only reason to change the LCD density is if you physical replace your LCD panel with one that has a different pixel density.
[Vibrant Android Development] Zaphodb2002:
I really do disagree, for the VAST majority of apps, it's a seamless change, and allows for more information to be displayed on the screen. Games seem to have the worst time with it, so if you game a lot, probably not recommended. I've used a 200 setting for a couple of weeks now, and I switched it back yesterday (trying to get Abduction 2 to work, lol), and it feels like reading a large print book. It's of course a personal preference, and it does rarely cause problems, but I wouldn't go without it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] sporkisfaster:
For some reason even after using each subsequent one click root method, including the latest andromeda flasher, I cannot install Busybox. It says that the phone is either not nand unlocked or isn't rooted. I also cannot use remount in adb as it says it is not found. Any ideas as to why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
The only way I have found around this myself is to go back to stock kernel. Then install the Joey 2.2.4 root exploit install not the noobl kernel and then install the latest busy box .... and superuser
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Try installing titanium backup, open it, hit problems and install busy box from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sporkisfaster:
This seemed to install busybox inside of TiB so thats good. Also I already have superuser. Everything about the root seems to work ok however trying to remount in adb still is a no go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Aridon:
Copy and paste your console here so we can take a look at it
[Epic 4G Android Development] sporkisfaster:
How do I console? Sorry a bit of a nub when it comes to stuff like that.

[Desire General] the_ahmadzais:
Anyone here using it? what is this app for? is it worth buying? does it give u battery life? im really interested but i cant find no videos on it on youtube. please share your thoughts.
[Desire General] Deleted member 2496007:
It is worth every penny. The best app for android IMO. It is not very easy to master it, but even the basic stuff has made a vast difference too the behavior of my phone.

For example, I have extended my battery life to 38 hours simply by having it automatically go into airplane mode between midnight and 6am.

It will turn off wifi, back screen brightness down, change screen timeout to 10 seconds and give me a notification popup and sound when my battery drops below 15%.

It will turn on gps when Wavesecure is activated, something Wavesecure can't do by itself.

It will turn my ringer off when I get within 200m of the two cinemas I go to.

It turns wifi on when I get home, and off when I leave. Same for work.

It loads my music app when I plug my headphones in.

Tasker can make widgets! I have one set up to (with one press from my home screen) turn up screen brightness, turn on gps, turn up speaker volume to max, wait 2 seconds, then launch google navigation. It will then turn everything back when I exit out of navigation.

It will, on weekdays, text my girlfriend at a certain part of my journey home after work. That way my dinner is ready when I get home!!!

I would say try out the free 1 week trial. There is even a wiki and web site with extensive instructions and examples uploaded by other users. You can also import profiles as well as create your own. The really handy ones I have exported to my sd card, and e-mailed them to a friend when he bought Tasker. Not sure I helped him though as there is a steep learning curve for this app, and it is worth being patient with it to learn its ways for yourself.

I think it is worth much much more than the asking price.
[Desire General] the_ahmadzais:
wow sounds sooo nice . i already bought full version yesterday but havnt even opened the app once . well i did open it once it seems hard to understand lol . so for all this task does the gps need to be on? or not? and can u turn off 3g?
[Desire General] Deleted member 2496007:
You can turn off APN, but don't think that works well in the UK. Sorry, my knowledge of 3g is limited.

Basically, you can have tasker turn on and off nearly any feature of your phone that your want. There are two sides to tasker. The "Profile" and the "Task".

I have found it is best to first set up the "task". Say you want to save battery power at night. Select the task button and select "new". Call it "power save" or something. Select the + symbol and select "Net". In this menu, pick "Airplane mode" and select to ' on'. Then hit ok, then save.

Now to create the 'Profile' where you define the contexts that will activate the "power save" task you just created.

Select 'new' then select the 'time' context. Enter the time you would like to have your phone go into airplane mode. After hitting 'ok' it will take you to the profile page where you set up what now happens between the times you just specified. From the drop-down at the to of the page, select the "power save" task you created earlier. Hit 'ok'.

Done. Your Tasker will now shut off all your radios between the times you entered.
[Desire General] pascanu:
Worth every penny. I use it to:

- turn on GPS for programs that need it (turns back of when editing the program)

- turn notifications off when starting desk clock

- change volume when connecting head phones

There are endless possibilities, try it and then buy it.
[Desire General] tommo123:
i've bought it for little things but want it to be able to handle 3g data which it doesn't :(

i,e turn on wifi, if no conn after 10 secs, turn on 3g, auto sync for a min, then turn data off.

works fine and dandy with wifi, but not 3g.
[Desire General] Tyderion:
You need APNDroid to disable 3G.

tasker really is worth every penny! :)
[Desire General] one2black:
Wort every cent. Must have :-)

I used to check periodically (every 3 minut) if my car Bluetooth near. If yes connect and and hold on the connection. If disconnect wait 15 minutes and seek again... save really battery... fantastic...
[Desire General] tommo123:
it still doesn't work. it turns apndroid on, but 3g flashes up then dissapears.

[Desire General] barry.bishop72:
Wow sounds like you have a good understanding and has some good stuff. I don't know if you can, but I posted a page where maybe people can leave profiles for those of us who are a bit more chronologically challenged.
[Desire General] dbilliter:
This is the greatest

I use tasker for everything. I am very forgetful so I have it pop up astrid tasks when I leave the house or work. The quiet mode works well for work and there is even a way to auto check in to foursquare.
[Desire General] Baz8755:
Worth every penny, it makes your phone 10 times better and is a must have app.

I have profiles that do the following:

-During work hours and within range of the office set Vibrate, turn off wi-fi.

-When within range of home turn on Wi-Fi

-If at home after certain time in evening go silent

-When leaving car (detected by bluetooth connection to stereo), store time and location. Have icon on desktop to retrieve info and show on map to find car.

-When on call (by checking diary) if a colleague calls always ring regardless of silent.

-Say caller/texter name

-Send magic packet to wifes phone to report location and show on map (handy when shopping)

Plus many other scripts....

Using "Cell Near" instead of GPS

I was using Tasker to turn WIFI on and off based on GPS locations. However, I found an alternate method that does not use GPS calls (and waste battery use). Instead, I am now using "Cell Near" to find the cell tower near home and turn WIFI off when I am not within distance of it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
I have it because it's the only app Ive found that can turn the GPS on remotely. I have it set up to turn on the GPS whenever it receives a certain text msg and then text back the phones location.

It's really useful once you learn it, plus the GPS feature alone is well worth the money.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
I'm just about done with my week trial and I will probably wait to buy it. Android 2.2 drops the ability to kill apps which is a huge deal breaker for me when it comes to this app. The author has stated that a fix for root users is possible, but it's not high on his todo list.

That being said this app it great for automating things. When I plug in my car charger the phone automatically sends calls to speakerphone, reads any incoming texts out loud, turns off the display timeout, goes to auto brightness, and loads my speedometer app. Now if only it could kill the app when I unplug the phone!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Altair68:
I've been using it for about three weeks now. It replaced several other apps that were not playing nice together and does much more. I noticed an improvement in battery life, but that could also be because I am running fewer apps now.

It can either increase or decrease your battery life. It depends on what you have it doing. Check out the Power page on the website for more info.

I mainly use it for changing settings based on location. Different profiles for home, work, in the car, and everywhere else.

I did find that it is better to use network location for "Near" which then enables the GPS location for "At" to save battery and yet still get precision.

I also have it setup to do things based on battery level.

The coolest is that I have a profile based on plugging in the headphones that brings up a list of media players. No more poking around just to listen to music. :D

Overall I am very happy with the app.
