[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apklilkid:
Before I even rooted my phone, my charger was having issues charging. At the end of the part that goes into the phone, the black cord fell back and the wires are exposed. It's been like this since late March/April. I'd have to mess with angling the phone in order for it to charge, but once it did, it was solid.

I rooted my phone thursday night and put fresh on it. Then yesterday I decided that it wasn't fast enough and I jumped from CM6 to PureHero. All the while it charged, but I still had to mess with it.

Now that I've left it on PureHero (although overall, I still haven't found a satisfactory ROM) my phone won't charge at all. Like, when I finally CAN get the light to glow orange, it'll be stuck at the same percentage. I woke up at like 3 in the morning and discovered this so I kept the battery out for the remainder of the night, woke up and put it back in but it's still stuck at the same percentage. Is it the ROM I'm using? Did I fry my battery somehow? Or is it solely the charger? I want to know before I go and buy a new batter/charger.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Regardless of whether or not you're battery is messed up you need a new usb cable.

Also you can try completely draining your battery then charging it back up to see if that fixes the percentage display problem. I've had boots before where it wouldn't go past 93% even though it was on the charger for well over an hour.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
You didn't have a spare USB cable just sittin' around to use instead of a frayed one? Any mini USB cable works ;)

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] alexterry:
hello there im looking for a step by step guide on how to install android (the latest version) on the HTC touch diamond 2.

Im a complete noobie when it comes to custom OS's/ROM's and i find that alot of people explain the instructions fully, For example which files i must download where to put them etc etc

Basically im looking for someone to explain what files i must download, Where to put them etc.

Any help will be very much appreciated as like I have said i no nothing of custom OS's/ROMs but i used to have the T-mobile G-1 and i prefered and still prefer android to Winmo

so any help will be much appreciated.

Download

it

man, and unzip it in the root of your SDcard , then run the HARET in your PDA... its all;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] alexterry:
i have download there seems to be only 1 file ive put it in the root of my SDcard but i cant find a file for haret maybe a link could do

also which files must i download becuase ive only download the System pack in Post #4 and like i said there is only 1 file there
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] RedCrow101:
I'm also a noob, but I figured it out.

1. download the other file on post #4. The "bundle."

2. open up windows explorer, if you're running windows, so you can open up the SD card. Make sure it's formatted in FAT32 (right click on the SD card in explorer and look through the properties, or just click "format."

3.unzip the bundle file, there should be a folder named "andboot" in it.

4. copy everything from "andboot" and copy it to the SD card.

5. Go into the folder, in all the junk you just copied, called Startup Config.

6. Find your model, "Topaz" and copy the statrup.txt file, not the other one.

7. Go back up to the top of the SD card and paste it there.

8. Disconnect the phone, and go in through file explorer and run the file Harnet.exe on the SD card.

It will take some time, but it should all boot up fine.

Watch the video, it should help, if not, ask more questions.

(it wouldn't let me post the link, so search youtube for TheDeadCPU and watch his video on XDAndroid 2.2)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] alexterry:
yeaaah it all working but haret is asking for something too run even though ive put startup.txt in the root of the sd card sorry its asking for a script / pathway

hi

is it possible to install android on htc p3470(pharos)?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] RedCrow101:
Have you figured it out yet? It should ask you if you want to run Haret. I'm not sure exactly what you mean, could you explain?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] alexterry:
well when i click on haret.exe it asks to run something

Anyone else having problems downloading skins for Beautiful Widgets?

Don't know if it's a rom problem but for the last couple of weeks with different roms i can't D/L anything

Which is a bit of a pain as the default skin doesn't do much for me

I have managed to find a couple of skins online but if anyone would be kind enough to look in /sdcard/data/beatifulwidgets/skins and upload some here that would be much appreciated

I think "Destroy" was the one i was using before:D

Haha typical 30 mins later and a updated version and it's working fine:o
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mShoaib:
same here.... i just keep looking at the "Loading Skins List..." and ive tried many times... at many different hours of the day but its always the same... just loading with no actual results

So, I downloaded a skins pack (googled-it), and turns out that after I place them in the proper folder and run BW skin selection, it gives an error that the skin is corrupted.... wtf????
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Andyt95:
If anyone's having this problem, you should go back to the old market. The B.W. version for the HTC Hero doesn't like a market app which isn't meant for that phone. Go back to the previous market and it'll work fine
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] mShoaib:
install the getjar app

use the app to download BW for free (and many other paid apps too... no piracy)

now you'll be able to download skins for super clock, weather etc
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] maxpayn432:
Uninstall BW,delete the folder with file manager.reinstall BW and everything ok

Using opendesire rom, and now my internal free memory is 9% and its shutting down my Widgets. I've moved everything I can to the SD card. What else can I do?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K900:

Android system info says I have 147.62 MB Max internal memory. Is this correct or can it be upped with a different rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beidl:
Well your widgets do not work because you moved them to the SD card...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladman:
Left Widgets on phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
you use Froyo App2SD which does not move the whole app to the SD card and some apps, like Widgets, don't work if moved at all.

If you need more free space use APP2SD+ instead, which natively is supported by OpenDesire, you just need a proper EXT partition and have to completely re-flash the ROM.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladman:
Please point me to more details on how to do that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
backup your phone apps using Titanium Backup or MyBackup Pro, do a Nandroid backup of the whole phone (boot in Clockwork mod and use Nandroid to do a full backup)), then backup your SD-Card.

After you've finished this, open ROM Manager on your phone and use the partition tool. Create a 512MB EXT partition, no SWAP needed. Your phone will reboot, automatically enter the recovery mode, completely delete the SD card and create a 512MB partition, next to your FAT32 partition.

After that, do a full wipe in the recovery. Everything gets deleted on your phone. Then flash the latest OpenDesire ROM or any other ROM supporting A2SD+. Activate in the OpenDesire settings (menu) the internal install location, so don't set it to external or automatic. Use Titanium Backup to restore your apps (make sure that you set in the properties to install it to the internal memory).

After you've done that, or before you do the app restore, check with Quick System Info if the EXT partition gets used.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladman:
Wow that's quite a process. What exactly does that do? Is it using the SD card for part of its internal ram?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladman:
And if so, is 512mb enough?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
well, it's just creating the EXT partition and starting from scratch :D

Yes, it uses the SD cards EXT partition as internal ram for both the apps and the dalvik cache.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
For me it is. I have more than 100 apss installed, several games included. And about 200MB still free.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladman:
Where is the rom manager?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmtacos:
I've got an issue i'm hoping you guys can help me with.

I've got a stock froyo 2.2 rooted device.

just recently i've been having issues with my apps.

I back up my SD often so i formatted it and reloaded the data.

This helped until the first reboot then i started having issues again.

The device would show internal apps only, sometimes taking up to ten minutes to load the storage apps.

In the market i cannot download/install apps, even the ones on internal

(sometimes taking several minutes to install)

I've attempted to unmount the SD card but it hangs.

t it hangs when i try to use apps2sd, using my phone as a disk drive, checking disk usuage on both internal and storage, etc.

But i have full access when i use file managers and also when i take the card out of my phone and plug it into my computer. I see everything and everything works.

i have also noticed that it reports the internal memory wrong, sometimes it'll be 50mb's sometimes 130 mb's. All within hours of not doing anything.

i made a nand backup so i'm doing that now, maybe i forgot to clear cache or something last time?

any ideas would surely help, in all honesty it sounds like my internal drive is failing and i hope thats not the case.

thank you

[Desire General] SupremeBeaver:
Could somebody here post a video of Sense running with *All Animations* selected under Display settings?

From my understanding, the default setting is Some Animations and this doesnt have some cool stock animations like zooming in and out when opening and closing apps. Also the keyboard doesnt slide from under the screen on sense. Will these animations be enabled if u select All Animations from the settings?

If so could someone here post a video showing it? There's nothing out there on the web and i dont have an android phone to check this out. Thanks!
[Desire General] elburna:
Sense doesn't have the animations u mentioned. You'll need launcher pro for that

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgardurao:
Well after some busy days where are always leaked a new fw, in the last days that stopped.

It's an indicator that the official rom should be on Kies at any moment ?

What's the leakers oppinion ?

Until now several one appeared, and in my point of view there are a couple questions:

- Radio is still mono

- Lag is terrible! In other part of the forum someone had answered me that Galaxy Tab still continues using RFS filesystem, so i think it will not change

- Battery drain is awesome...last two days battery didn't survive from 8AM to 11PM ... ouch

- TwLauncher in JPK still in sometimes stopps.

When the official froyo? What will change ?

People over at the Captivate forums are reporting pretty good GPS reception with the leaked Froyo they got today. Maybe there's something to it after all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoWa22:
That's what happens all the time - at first everybody are so excited they get a lock in 10-15 seconds, when they start using it they realize it's still a piece of worthless junk - you'll see lots who already realized it in that forum.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoWa22:
OKay. I'll stop complaining about my GPS because yours works. That makes sense. Especially the locking part - what more could a man want than a GPS that locks on? C'mon - mine have been locking on perfectly from JF3 all the way up to JPK, it just doesn't stay that way. As soon as I turn a corner, even just walking, it continues hundreds of meters ahead. JF3, JM1, JM6, JM7, JM8, JPC, JPH, JPK - all of them. According to Samsung they still haven't found a fix for the GPS, but you might know something that Samsung doesn't.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quiron:
Man, you're rude.

Before the Galaxy I had a HTC HD and GPS work without problems, so, no excuse for being a cell phone. And please no compare the CPU capacity of HTC HD whith Galaxy S.

In case you don't know, galaxy S is not just a phone. For me it's a gadget and by the way, make calls.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoWa22:
Ah - I didn't know. I thought that when I had paid $800 for a mobile phone with GPS, the GPS would actually work (as it does in all other smartphones I've tried). Stupid me. If it wouldn't play video files properly, would you just tell me to buy a HTPC and a TV? If it wouldn't play sound files properly, would you just tell me to go buy a stereo and a pair of loudspeakers? If it wouldn't run any apps properly, would you tell me to go buy a PC? If the compass didn't work properly, would you tell me to go buy a compass? If the touchscreen didn't work properly, would you tell me to go buy a mouse? If the 3G network connection didn't work properly, would you tell me to use wifi all the time? If the battery drained in six minutes, would you tell me to go buy an external battery? If the internal SD card didn't work properly, would you tell me to go buy an external SD card?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirk1978:
Could someone with JPK please post a track of how the GPS doesn't perform correctly, or even better, a video. My GPS has worked great for all of Froyo.

I know it's been covered a lot but the differences in the experience between users must mean there are different revisions of GPS receiver out there, or a lot of faulty phones.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeko:
I think the issue that the GPS doesn't lock at all is separate from the more common GPS is hugely inaccurate problem. Seems like Samsung has fixed the inaccuracy to some extent, but might not have adressed the non-locking issue at all.

Hi

Could you tell me what pit you used to flash . I used the 803 and I have noticed a lot more battery drain than the jph firmware...

I don't know if it makes any difference but I flashed to jph from jm8 with re-partition unchecked, and when I flashed to jpk was on jph and used odin with re-partition checked...

I had the same problem with jpc but I done a battery fix by charging unplugging, charging, unplugging etc.. and switching off the data. This had not worked with jpk. I don't think it is about apps either as I hardly install any because I expect to re-flash the phone again soon. I almost feel that I was better off on jph..

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stateit:
I set my GPS cache to flush every now & then, and make it cold start.

Very rarely the GPS icon won't appear in Navigation....So it's not starting up. Pull the battery and restart (as opposed to reboot) and it'll be fine for another week or so.

If you take these steps it seems a highly accurate GPS.

Not just on roads, but also cross-country.

I'm on JPK and gps is not fixed yet it will still get confused from time to time and think you are on a road 50 meters from the one you are actually on.

The thing about the sgs is that it can deliver a perfect track one day and the next day it gives awful results for no apparent reason.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
I really think at this point, GPS is never going to be perfect...

Hopefully Samsung/broadcomm can prove this wrong, but I think it's time to stop expecting GPS to be perfect. It probably isn't going to ever happen...

They've made tons of changes, and they'll probably still make more changes to make it better, but it obviously isn't just something they can 'fix', which means it's never going to be perfect. Shame... but can we move on from GPS now? We all know it's sometimes screwy - take any further GPS stuff to general unless you can provide some dev knowledge on how we might hack it up to make it better! Thanks! :)
