[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foobyte:
It started when I went to JPK. I lost my wifi and I've been flashing to all kind of different roms and I just can't get wifi to start working again. While it finds the networks it just hangs while aquiring ip address...

I really like Frankin Final but I can't get it to sync my contacts with Outlook via Kies. (Connects with Kies but Kies Contact List acts up and still tells me to connect...)

Update: Bonix 1.5 won't allow me to sync either with Kies or New PC Studio.

So basically I got the following now:

Stock rom, no wifi, KOR product code :(

Would love to have

Frankin Final, wifi, and T-Mobile US product code if it makes any difference (seems as my /efs/ is empty!?)

Btw, phone is rooted and clockwork is installed...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've really been toying around and trying as many roms and combinations as I can, just can't get my wifi to work again. :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foobyte:
Stock is running like stock again. :)

There wasn't even anything wrong with the wifi after leaving JPK, it was just the wifi password which I got wrong. It's weird that it goes all the way to "obtaining address" even though the password is wrong, the status was therefore misleading.

Just reinstalled Frankin Twiz Final and simply imported the contacts. Not as good as syncing but better than running stock. I'm satisfied. ;-)

Hi Guys,

I have a 32B HTC Magic and have installed, via ROM Manager, ClockworkMod Recovery v. 2.5.0.1. However, when I select "Reboot into Recovery" I cannot get in - the Red Voda loading screen hangs forever (I need to battery pull to boot back into donut). Also, when I reboot my phone and hold down Home + Power, I get the stock recovery with only 4 options.

What am I doing wrong?

I believe I need to get into recovery mode to flash (1) the new radio to run CM6 and (2) the SPL (kind of like a bootloader?).

Thanks, I'd appreciate any help I can get on this!

If you can get me up and running on CM6, I'll gladly show my appreciation via the donation page.

I would try to load amonra instead of clockwork. Clockwork gave me the same problem however amonra was flawless. You can install amonra with the rom manager. Hope this helps.

Im on the latest bionix with voodoo enabled but i don't oc to 1.2. I let it be at 1ghz. The only thing that polls data in the background is noled for onscreen notifications, beejive, tweetdeck polls every 6 minutes and screen brightness is at auto. Im at a loss. My battery stats aren't giving me any specific info at all. Any ideas as to what can be murdering my battery?

Even if i don't touch my phone for a whole hour i still drop 10-15%!!!

Any advice?

Make sure you have reconditioned your battery

Turn OFF "Auto Brightness" (It just runs an extra process witch uses more battery)

Turn OFF "Power saving mode" (It just runs an extra process witch uses more battery)

Also, You aren't telling us what you are doing.. Are you streaming music via Pandora or something?!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Leave the phone in 2G Only unless you are surfing the web or streaming music.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
I don't stream music. I do use tweetdeck a lot. Maybe twice an hour. I wonder if its the noLED app or if voodoo is killing me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Yeah but did you Recondition your battery & turn off the two other things?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
All off. But how do i recondition battery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Well....I'd wager the following...

- NoLed. How much battery it uses depends on how long you leave notifications un-noticed. The longer you delay checking, the longer the screen process is on.

- Beejive (it's battery suckage will go down drastically when we get 2.2, as it will then use Google's push api instead of deliberately staying alive all the time)

- Tweetdeck every 6 minutes? If you check it twice an hour as you say....up it's poll to every 30 minutes

- Screen brightness to AUTO. It takes a flick of your finger to change brightness manually. Auto is convenient, but generally wastes battery adjusting itself in my experience.

NoLED and Beejive are probably your biggest culprits...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
i only use beejive for gtalk, think ill be better off with the stock android gtalk app instead?

btw, does the lag fix take up any battery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Look it up, I'm tired of explaining it :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2t32:
remove beejive and install trillian and set it to save battery mode. or if you want to find out what is causing the battery drain, uninstall all apps that polls or runs in the background and put one back at a time. this will tell you which app is actually draining the battery. From my own experience, I'm pretty sure beejive is the one draining the most.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindaika:
No need to look it up: There's no such thing as "reconditioning" Li-on batteries. That's not how they work. The closest you can get is a full discharge, which will recalibrate the monitor, but does not affect battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0play:
These things can use less than that? LOL

I'm running bionix 1.5 no voodoo. Oc to 1.2 but profiled to drop MHz depending. I don't social network so that helps. But I do surf and game heavy enuf to justify the 3 batteries I have.

I'm not sure why ppl buy phones with the power of a computer and high-def monitor combined and a battery that weighs 10 grams and have issues with battery life. They are $5 each from Hong Kong just get 3 with a charger for 20$ and call it good.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
so after 2 hours; i have lost 25% battery. had a 20 minute convo on speaker, 10-15 texts, no web browsing.

seems like beejive was the culprit. i removed it and noLED
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
just got a reply from beejive support. since im on 2.1 it isnt using the android push api. after about 6 hours im down to 49%. all in all, im happy. yesterday all it took to get me to 50% was about 2 hours. also, i reinstalled noLED and have it set to only run when I am in silent or vibrator modes. i also set the notification to run for the max of 5 minutes.

as for the voodoo lagfix, does anyone know if it uses up a lot of battery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshchn:
I have at one point of time used Bionix 1.3 with Voodoo and then without Voodoo. Didnt notice a difference in battery life. But I did notice that battery drains quicker when I replaced stock with Bionix ROM, voodoo disabled or enabled.

UPDATE: I managed to get past the loop by deleting all apk's(/system/app)

from the google apps zip! (so don't bother reading the rest unless you

find yourself having the same problems I had... :)

Hi, sorry to bother you all, but I can't seem to find a way out of this.

My N1 has the broken power button, but I'm in Europe, so I thought I would try to live with it by installing the cyanogenmod(with the trackball wake).

I rooted from 2.2.1 by a thread I found here(rageagainstthecage), then installed rom manager, flashed the recovery image, radio, and then the cyanogenmod 6.0. The phone booted fine, but without google apps, so I downloaded that zip and flashed it as well, and then the problems started. Now my phone hangs at the boot animation.

My bootloader is NOT unlocked, so I can't seem to flash using fastboot(get signature verify fail), and I can't unlock it cause my powerbutton does NOT work at all anymore, and I need it to verify "unlock bootloader"...

I still have root and adb shell access while cyanogenmod hangs, so maybe there is a way to copy raw files over?

Hope you have some tips for me!

ROM update -- cont'd some more

More on the saga...

So I thought WTF do I have to lose, so from an adb shell (as root), did the old dreaded "rm -rf /system", which it did. Not recommended for your own, personal phone that you paid for, BTW.

Then tried to install liberated aria R012. It failed on the second command in the update-script. Uh oh.

Oh well. Time for a nandroid restore. Started restore from my last good backup and it just sat there, hung on restoring "resource". Uh oh again.

Popped out the battery, booted to recovery. thought WTF, maybe I finally really bricked it this time. Tried installing aria_shipped_rooted_signed.zip and it installed. It also booted successfully, needed settings set, but ran cell, WiFi. life good, or at least better.

So. Any idea if the brute force "rm -rf /system" deleted a hidden lock file or lock device, or ATT firmware that was preventing the ROM image update-scripts from running (specifically from wiping /system during the install)?

Or does "rooting" using unrevoked3 on the vanilla ATT Aria image not unprotect everything? (like NAND updating?)

FWIW, also tried installing VirtuousROM3.0, which installed, but didn't boot -- infinite loop refreshing the first HTC splash screen.

And liberated_aria_R012_signed.zip installed and ran successfully, including cell, wifi, yadda yadda. Running now.

Next step is to try installing CyanogenMod 6.0.... update.

I'll brick this thing yet...

It's a loner phone for development after all.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decerto:
I've noticed when I'm at work, where I get little to no service, when I pull up a web page, or anything else that pushes for data, I get a slight to moderate boost in signal while said tasks are being executed. My problem is that I also get very little service inside my house, but I always have it on the charger close to a window - which does help some. Now from what I've read and understand the battery can actually be pushed to increase signal up to a significant amount, as I've noticed at work, and even while using GPS in what are usually dead zones for me. Now I'm not too keen on how it all works, so I figured I would ask anyways... So finally here's my question - Since I always have my phone on the charger at home, I'm not worried about draining the battery. So shouldn't there be a way for an app to push the battery constantly to boost the signal while the phone is charging? Sorry if this is a clearly dumb idea, I'm sure there's a reason it won't work, but I thought I would throw it out there.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveDusa:
Technically it's not possible.

Let's keep in mind that FCC has regulations on the maximum output power for each class of devices such as a cellular phone.

Also sometimes a voice communication signal (1xRTT) is not always same level as data signal (EvDO) at the same physical location due to many factors. Also we are not sure when the signal indicator bars are displayed, which signal it's displaying at which moment. That could explain the boost you saw on your phone.

Just keep in mind, a software is not able to modify a phone's signal.

[HD2 General] academygaz:
Hiya, I've got a HD2 with a couple of problems.

My brother had it as contract upgrade from his iPhone 3G back in February, and it was fantastic for around a month. As he never needed the insurance on his iPhone, he didn't take it out on his HD2, and you know whats coming don't you? :rolleyes: It fell from his pocket and cracked the screen pretty badly.

As he didn't want the hassle or expense of fixing it, he went back to the iPhone and left the HD2 in a drawer. I found it a couple of weeks ago and asked what he was doing with it, he said I could have it if I got it fixed. The digitiser was the only thing wrong with it, so I took it to a local phone repair shop. After a week away having the glass replaced, I picked it up today and have found a couple of problems.

1. The phone can't find any networks.

I know its locked to O2, but with my O2 SIM card in it, it won't find any networks (the signal strength icon is the phone mast with an exclamation mark). Manually or automatically searching doesn't make a difference.

2. The Volume buttons don't work

They don't seem to make any difference to sound levels when pressed, and they seem harder to press than they used to be.

Now, I think the second problem would be fixed with a simple take-apart-put-together job, but I'm more worried about the first problem. Why would the phone lose the ability to find a network? When the digitiser is replaced, does the antenna get removed? Could it be that it hasn't been reattached properly?
[HD2 General] Jack E:
I'd take it back and get it fixed properly.
[HD2 General] dark alex:
Found no networks: I don't know the Hardware of HTD2 explicitely in its assemling process so I can just guess:

For my Touch diamond I got the problem that the antennacable (a tiny internal coaxial cable) was unplugged. That may be the problem here, too if GSM-Antenna is softwired in HD2.

Or try a hardreset (probably reflashing) ;)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
to get to the screen you have to strip every last part of the hd2. hunt down the official assemble disassemble video.

your problems have all the hallmarks of assembly errors. an antenna cable gets tugged when you close the case, volume buttons get caught, etc etc

id take it back and have them look at it again.
