Has anyone tried one of these? I've seen mixed reviews, and am wondering if anyone has actually used one and had a good experience before i buy it instead of the official one

[Droid 2 Accessories] Redneck Trash:
Only issue is you need a third party app to get an accurate reading. I use Battery Left Widget set to take voltage readings. The battery itself is great.
[Droid 2 Accessories] HerroMoto:
It's huge and very, very bulky and expensive. I plan on buying the Verizon extended battery. It's not as powerful I believe, but it barley makes a size difference compared with the standard battery. Plus, the VZW battery is a lot cheaper.
[Droid 2 Accessories] Lithoss:
The only way you can read battery % is by reading voltage. Thats what all the battery "readers" or apps do. The stock one works fine.

A battery with more capacity (mAh) is read the same way as a normal batter.

Hi

Got an HTC Touch Cruise (aka Polaris). The little chrome plastic cover on the righthand panel that houses the Micros memory card has broken off. Anyone know where I can buy one to replace?

Much appreciated

So the other day I was sitting in olive garden in San Diego and next to me at the bar a guy took out his Vibrant and then proceeded to connect what looked like a micro ff camera on the top of the phone using the USB connection and started to move it around as if he was showing someone on the other end where he was. Has anyone seen this besides myself.It seems like it is pretty possible.I would love to add a FFC to my vibrant.

[Vibrant General] ytj87:
I doubt it was an FFC. Logically he could have shown someone the place using the RFC just as easily. I bet it was a battery boost or something.

Besides, something like that would take a good deal of development, and doubtful he was working alone and in secret on something like that.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chameleon131:
Hey guys, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I've been searching but haven't been able to find anything. If it has, I'd appreciate a link to the thread, thanks :-)

I'm sure I'm not the first to want this, but I'd like to throttle my Droid Incredible's CPU based on the currently open application. I'd like to do it one of two ways.

The first way is perhaps by using Tasker and the Execute plugin for Locale that I have installed for Tasker. The problem is, I don't know what commands to use in order to set my CPU minimum speed, maximum speed, and scaling type (performance, ondemand, etc.). Do I need to use an external script or program to do that? Or is there something built right into Android that I can use via Terminal / the Execute plugin for Tasker?

The other method would be through a profile built into SetCPU. I know I can just email the dev of SetCPU, but I figured he's gotten the question from someone here already, and perhaps they could pass the info along. Has anyone already asked if he plans on integrating application-based profiles in the future? Or is it possible to set SetCPU's parameters through Terminal somehow?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Great question. I've seen some clocking scripts, but haven't tried them out. Here's one link: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/595-alternative-setcpu-script/

And also, here are clockup/down scripts that I found somewhere, saved on my phone, but never actually used...

clock up:

#!/system/bin/sh

if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then
CUR=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq`
COUNT=30;

until [ $CUR -lt 1000000 ] || [ $COUNT -lt 1 ];
do
sleep 1;
CUR=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq`
COUNT=$((COUNT-1));
done;

echo 1000000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
else
echo -e "Getting root priveleges\n"
su<$0
fi

clock down:

#!/system/bin/sh

SPEED=200000

if [ "$(id -u)" == "0" ]; then
CUR=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq`

until [ $CUR -le $SPEED ];
do
sleep 1;
CUR=`cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq`
done;

echo $SPEED > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
else
echo -e "Getting root priveleges\n"
su<$0
fi

What I'd personally love to see are the action intents needed to manipulate SetCPU itself from Tasker. The only reason I haven't used the above scripts is that I worry slightly about trying to actively manipulate the CPU both through SetCPU while simultaneously through separate scripts. I worry that the two will step on each others' feet and I won't have a clear idea of what's going on with my CPU. That's why I'd like to see a solution that manipulates SetCPU itself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Have you considered a kernel that does processor throttling for you, rather than doing it yourself? King has them for AOSP and Sense ROMs. Take a look - those kernels do some amazing stuff, with little to no user input (ie settings or tasker tweaks) needed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostwheel:
How does the kernel know that when I read on my phone using kindle, I really don't care how fast the page turns, but when I play a game I do care? Or maybe with angry birds, I don't care, because there's no real time component, but with Doom I do care?

How does it know that I'll get to a charger in 2 hours, so at the rate things are going, I don't need to conserve power? Or maybe that I'll get to the next charger in two days, so I need to conserve power maximally?

I am having a weird problem with my facebook account, it keeps chatting with my friends, posting on their walls, and posting statuses. Its all the usual "click here to get a free ipod" ect. I tried changing my password already and it stopped for awhile (few days) but now its doing it again.

Im starting to wonder if its one of my apps on my phone somehow doing it since I have the facebook app and have myself signed in.

Anyone experience this?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
No, it's apps on your facebook account, and this has zero to do with this forum.
[Android Apps and Games] bob2300nx:
I think you need to calm down. If I was mistaken then fine, but if it was an android app causing it then why would this be in the wrong forum?
[Android Apps and Games] migueltherocker:
It's not android apps. This happens when you use survey apps, etc. on facebook. NOTHING to do with android.
[Android Apps and Games] bob2300nx:
Thank You now I know, was starting to suspect my phone. I delete the few apps that were on my facebook (do you think this will fix it?).

Can the apps also go into chat with my friends? The reason I ask is under permissions the only app on facebook that shows is "gochat" which is an android app for chatting on facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] nujackk:
easy way to track down were it is coming from is to go into your app settings on facebook, and limit the apps that can post. To eliminate the phone, just stop anything but your phone apps from posting, then wait a day and see what happens. then add back 1 app at a time until you find which one is the pffending app.

But as already said very unlikely to be your phone apps directly.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
I don't think its just any app. Its most likely a 3rd party location app or sms app. If you have any of those then check the settings. I'm petty sure you can keep the app, but disable the setting that has anything to do with location.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitht:
This seems strange to me. I can fully charge my phone while powered on and get to 100% full. I then turn off the phone and let it charge turned off and it takes 30+ minutes to get a full charge even though when powered on it was already 100% full.

I did this same procedure a few days ago in an effort to improve battery life and it did help. I just don't understand that after only a few days, the difference in how powered on shows one thing and powered off shows another when it comes to battery level. I would expect that powering off would also show a 100% charge, or at least close and only take a few minutes to match the powered on state.

Does this sound like a software problem with the phone not knowing how to properly read the battery level when powered on? Is this a common Android issue in general? I just came from Windows Mobile and never experienced this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysacr:
Currently, I have the People widget set to display my Favorites contacts. I have set a caller ID picture for each contact. The pictures I use is 320x320 res. When I first add the contacts to the widget, all the pictures were very clear and sharp looking. But after some time, the pictures become pixelated and maintains this look until I manually go into each contact and reassign the picture. The pixelated picture will eventually show up again, and it remains pixelated when the person calls me, looks horrible.

Is this a known issue and there are no fix? Or is there a specific resolution that I should be setting my caller id picture as? TIA
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysacr:
Nvm, figured it out. Turns out when you sync your contacts with gmail, gmail resizes all of you contact pictures down to 96x96. So when the people widget displays it, the 96x96 pictures gets enlarged and thus becomes pixelated.

Solution:

Settings>Accounts & Sync

Turn ON Auto Sync briefly

Click on your google account

Uncheck syncing for contacts

Turn OFF auto sync

Reassign your pictures for whoever that's going to be in the people widget

[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
You have to be rooted to do it. The best method IMO is to use the SDX Stock App Remover. It will allow you to back up whatever you remove so it can be easily restored later if needed. Open the SDX System App remover, and hit Manage System Apps. Next scroll down till you find SystemUpdater.apk. Back it up and remove it. That's it.

I believe the download link for it has been posted here on xda as wall as on SDX.

All I can say on epic #2 the update fixed nothing that was broken prior, and as a bonus absolutely destroyed my phone's ability to adjust screen brightmess appropriately. all whites became yellowed....

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MiniDevil:
Within the past month, I noticed some condensation in my screen. Last week, there was no more condensation, but I noticed a darker part on my screen that looked like the screen cover was actually sticking to the internal screen.

Soon, my touch screen stopped responding altogether. After toying with the phone for a while, I found that if I apply pressure to the side of the plastic cover, it bows the screen cover just enough that it breaks contact with the touch screen.

Earlier today, while messing with the touch screen cover, some adhesive got onto the actual interior touch screen and caused it to stop working. I used some Zeiss lens cleaner wipes on it, which removed most of the adhesive very well, but there is now an off color tint as if it is just slightly oily on the screen now.

What is the best way to clean the actual internal screen? Is it possible for me to buy a new screen cover and adhesive to re-seat it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
New touch screens can be found on eBay and there is a tutorial on replacing them. Google it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MiniDevil:
I have googled it, and I do not need a new touch screen. I need a way to clean the touch screen, and a new thin plastic cover for it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Do you mean a new screen guard?:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MiniDevil:
Yes that's it. Pardon my ignorance of technical terms. My screen guard is slightly bent and it is missing the factory adhesive. Some of the adhesive from the screen guard got onto the screen. I can't figure out how to get the adhesive off of the screen so that the touch screen will work again.

:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Not sure what you are using for a screen guard, but AT$T sells a 3-pack for $5 that fits the Tilt 2/TP2 perfectly and leaves no adhesive residue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MiniDevil:
Are you aware that the actual "screen" that you touch on the phone is only a thin sheet of plastic that is easily removed, and that the actual screen is a piece of glass under it?

Edit:

http://www.amazon.com/Touch-Digitizer-HTC-Pro-~Replacement/dp/B001LBPB88 <-- That is what I am talking about. It works fine, but the adhesive to seat that onto the phone smeared onto the actual screen glass. All I need is a way to clean adhesive off both without damaging the phone. Other than that, the phone works perfectly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
I'm very aware of it, that's why we use screen protectors. Like I said, you can buy a new one off eBay. Use a little acetone on a soft cloth to remove the adhesive. I'm done with your lousy attitude.:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MiniDevil:
I am not trying to sound like I have a bad attitude, I am just confused and wondering if you think that I am saying that a 5.00 screen protector left residue on the screen, which isn't the case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Don't blame me for your poor explanation of the issue. Notice I'm the only one that even tried to help you? Probably because others couldn't follow what you were describing. Anyway, I think you have enough info to handle it. Good luck.

ok, I'm not really a noob but I'm having a horrible time w/ drivers for my Epic.

I had almost a 3 or 4 day long project to get drivers to load and work for my samsung moment..

I have uninstalled them and am now trying to get drivers to install and work for my Epic so that I can 'one click root' and install clockwork mod recovery.

My dilemma is, the drivers that are available here for the Epic seem to install fine. After I restart the computer, I put the phone in USB debug mode, then plug it in.

The drivers attempt to install, the computer recognizes the "Samsung SPH-D700" but in the right side of the window it says "failed"...

been trying all weekend to get this working.

I'm using Win7 64bit Ultimate FWIW..

When I had this problem w/ my samsung moment, Part of the culprit was the USB cable so i ran down to radio shack and purchased a $20 cable out of necessity. I'm using that same cable as well. The one that came with the phone is at work and unavailable at this time.

Thanks for the help
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
http://randomtechinfo.com/epic/Samsung_Mobile_Driver_V1.3.800_For_SPH-d700_Epic_4G.zip

I had better luck with these drivers in xp than the other two that were "confirmed" working. They worked once, then I removed them and reinstalled moment flashing software, then removed that and tried reinstalling the drivers. It wasn't working. There was something on the phone the drivers wasn't recognising. I flushed them out and installed the link above and it worked like a champ. I don't know if you'll have any luck with 64bit os. It's worth a try. Also, did you try changing to a different usb port?
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Yeah I tried using different USB pets and no luck.

Are you using the stock cable that came with the phone ?

I'll try the drivers from the link you posted and report back. I can always run then in compatibility mode if need be.

Thanks.

Use a different ROM. CM6 has that feature on one click.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] nrvate:
Even with the stock ROM you can toggle 2/3G, but it's not a nice handy widget like in CM6. You'll find it in settings, under Settings -> Wirless & Networks -> Mobile Network -> Use Only 2G Networks

With CM6 you can add an item to the power control widget to toggle 2/3G. Win!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] rogier666:
Time to kick an old thread. The *#*#4636#*#* app and the 2G/3G toggle can be added as a shortcut with AnyCut.

Just launch AnyCut and hit "Activity."

The *#*#4636#*#* screen is called "Testing," and the 2G/3G screen is one tap away with a shortcut to the AnyCut activity "GSM/UMTS options."

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Most people attempt to. There have been reports from people in the past that went both ways - some reporting getting charged, and some reporting having returned a rooted phone with no problems.

Hopefully if someone got popped for it recently, they will speak up - a lot of times people are reluctant to talk about negative experiences.

In any event, there is a newly released ROM that makes unrooting the same level of effort as installing any other ROM - give it a shot and report back your results.

I sent my rooted Eris to Verizon a few weeks ago because my old one had the trackball issue, Verizon didn't say anything about it. I think it might depend on what type of problem your phone has. My guess would be that there's more of a chance for them to say something about it if you have a software issue rather than a hardware issue, just a thought.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homer169:
