Basically your battery has a memory.. some what, so its gets use to its regular drain and recharges. There's a couple of ways to calibrate it but I like to run it down till its dies and then charge it by usb for a slow recharge.. I do this atleast once a month.
[Hero CDMA General] shilent:
It will just give you an accurate reading of your battery. You will still have the same amount life calibrated or not.

An example would be, let's say your battery is at 15% and it dies in just 10 minutes. Or if it's at 5% and the phone takes forever to die. That means the battery isn't calibrated.

This may seem like a stupid question (OK, it IS a stupid question)

But I been doing a lot of flashing, and I'm uncertain if I'm using Bionix 1.7 or 1.8. I've done a full titanium restore, but is there an easy way to look at what ROM I'm using right now?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silow:
In the Bionix ROMs you can look in the build.prop file. You should see a line towards the end of the file that looks like this:

ro.modversion=Sombionix-Bionix-1-4

You can either use a terminal emulator to cat /system/build.prop or adb shell cat /system/build.prop

Awesome! My gratitude is yours sir.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
I wanted to laugh when you said you flashed and you forgot. I've honestly been there. Got stuck in a boot loop so I flashed my original rom and started flashing some older roms until I figured out what I flashed to get my phone stuck.

It was I guess a wacked out Nandroid, but anyways after flashing a few and eating lunch with a buddy I forgot where I was in the process. LOL
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpannella:
i can use voice recording or voice to text just fine. i can also make phone calls in speaker phone mode just fine. but when i turn speaker phone off the person on the other end can BARELLLLLY hear me
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpannella:
ugh so i've been trying to test it

i left myself some voicemails using the phone

if i talk normal i hear nothing with an occasional click or something. if i take my finger and rub it on the noise canceling mic while talking i can sort of hear myself talking but its really low and garbled sounding, and of course if i switch to speakeprhone then i hear myself fine

this sucks, its obviously some kind of software issue. does the phone not use the secondary mic for noise canceling during speakerphone? that would explain the issue i guess.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusdue:
The mic on my first N1 was broken so it might be a hardware issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattpannella:
its either software or the secondary mic is broke and is causing it to filter out everything, because the main mic works great on speakerphone

this sucks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsellers2:
So,

I downloaded Bionix 1.8 and Flashed through Clockwork. Only after I disable Voodoo of course. After getting all my settings back the way I like it, played a few games, checked a couple emails I placed my phone on the charger. After the phone was completely charged an hour later.

I decided to boot into clockwork and delete my battery usage stats and rebooted. After it rebooted I unplugged the charger and BOOTLOOP.

It shows the vibrant screen and then Snow like a tv. Except there is other colors in the snow. Not many though. Then the vibrant screen and the snow. Your getting the picture, over and over like this even after pull the plug....plugging the charger. I've even tryed going into download mode. I think. It just keeps booting...

So,

Do I have a paper weight?

Will this thing work anymore?

I dont understand what could of happened, IVe done this plenty of times.

Does anyone know what I should try?

Hopefully this is the right thread and someone can help.

Thanks,

Dave

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
If you're unable to see if you're in download mode, install adb (inside the Android sdk) then follow the guides on how to reboot into download mode. From there install a stock ROM from Odin (maybe JI6 if you want to). Once it's working, feel free to reflash with Bionix 1.8 or any other ROM flavor of your choosing.

Directions on how to use adb and Odin are in the Vibrant Directory "Bible" on the dev sub-forum.

edit: linkage

edit2: You can also use Droid Explorer to access adb

Hi Guys,

Anyone can create a rom which is based on WP7?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Mr.zeus:
i don think

7 needs a high system hardware that opal doesnt have theme

even if we can , it will become something like Android .but the diffrent is:

most of the things doesnt work .and trhere is no speed

its my ideamybe freinds can do sth

we should wait
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] pradha91:
no its not possible. its not like WM 6.5 such that u patch up and make a upgrade... WM7 asks for higher hardware requirements and moreover u need some dedicated keys like 'start','search' etc.. which are not present in viva..... and it is most likely any current WM 6.5 wont support WM7, unless u have the dedicated keys....
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Ruch0:
and u need a multi-touch screen

Hello,

I tried searching for this first but I couldn't find it. Maybe I typed in the wrong keywords...:D

When I first got my phone I synced all my facebook contacts to it. While fooling around with the contacts I pressed the delete button on a facebook contact and now it has hidden that contact from my contacts list. My question is: How do I go about un-hiding this contact?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DroidXChat:
I have a bunch of questions, but here is where I'm at.

I had 2.2 stock OTA. I then used bootstrapper to place dr154's Deodex OTA 2.2 onto my phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794007

Next, I again used bootstrapper to put NexTheme on my phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=749692

Question 1: Are both the deodex OTA and NexTheme now on my phone, or did NexTheme replace the deodex OTA? If I were to load another Theme on, would all 3 coexist or would the other(s) be replaced?

Question 2: If I were to factory reset my phone, what would it revert to? Stock? dr154's deodex? Etc.

Question 3: If vzw released a system update, do I have to do anything to my phone before I receive it?

Now more questions regarding SYSTEM APPS.

Problem 1: MotoTorch was preloaded as a system app, as a part of either Deodex or NexTheme, assuming these coexist. When a new version came out in the market, I could not update to it, because it was a system app. Superuser, same thing, a newer version came out, couldnt get it, "installation unsuccessful".

Problem 2: Additionally, lots of the system apps aren't even recognized as installed by the market. So sometimes you won't even know if an update is available. This was the case with MotoTorch.

So I used the common solution that everyone uses and that I found with a little searching, I loaded adb and mounted /system/app as rw, then removed the apks. Then reinstalled them from the market. Then remounted /system/app as ro.

My question regarding system apps is this:

Question 4: What is the advantage of having an app be a system app?

Question 5: The stock system apps such as Amazon Mp3, or City ID - can I safely remove these? Which ones CANNOT be removed? When I did ls /system/app, there were a huge number.

Lastly, I am new, so I'm sorry if I missed it or could have search it or whatever, but I'm wondering....

Question 6: What is tranquility exactly? I see a lot of themes say they're based of tranquility? If I wanted it, where could i find the newest version? If I install a theme based off tranquility, and then a new version of tranquility comes out, can I reinstall tranquility on my phone, then reinstall the theme and will then the theme be using the newest tranquility?

Question 7: What are the advantages of being blur-less?

Question 8: Is xda the best place to find new themes? Or is there another more centralized site?

Thank you very much for any answers!!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
just about everyone of your questions are answered somewhere on the web, but ill give it a shot anyways.

1. Themes only replace certain apks, (this is usually stated in the themers OP) so at times you are most likely going to have a merge of themes, sometimes you will notice it sometimes you wont.

for example, you load a new rom which has apks 1-20. Now you load a theme that has apks 1-6. next you decide to load theme 2 that has apks 1-4. then you load theme 3 with apks 1-2. so even though your main theme is is theme 3, you still have parts of 1 and 2.

2. I would avoid a factory reset, just keep a backup and a copy of the rom your on. And if need be boot to recovery and restore one of those.

3. Yes you would need to revert back to bone stock, best done with an sbf. Google it, that subject is beaten to death.

your using the term system app wrong.

1-2. if the apps were loaded and pushed to system/app they usually wont update. the apks should be in data/app.

when you did the mount/uninstall/install this loaded the apk to the proper data/app location.

4. again wrong terminology. consider system app an app that is either neccesary for phone to run or an apk that MUST be in system/app

5. google "remove droid x bloatware"

6. would take way to long to fully explain that. newest can be found on rom manager or TBH.

7. personal preference, plus less &%$# running in the background.

8. no centralized site, you can find different stuff on different sites. mydroidworld, droid-life, droidforums, droidxforums, etc.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DroidXChat:
thanks for your answers, but when i ls /system/app i see a lot of useless junk that I am pretty sure aren't required for the system...

the theme gave me mototorch to /system not /data
[Droid X Themes and Apps] thepolishguy:
Here's the BIG question. Did you make your own nandroid back-up before you started this whole process? In other words- did you go into bootstrap recovery and create a back up of your phone first? and then do all this other stuff? Bc that is the easiest and number one way to return your phone to its factory settings. In fact- at this point it may be the only way. With 2.1 we had an SBF file which was essentially the original "rom image" (i come from windows mobile so forgive me). So if you were tinkering around or flashing roms and something happened - you could restore using the SBF to the factory state.

On 2.2 there is no complete SBF. Team Black Hat released a partial SBF they are calling a "system SBF" that can help people that have fubared their phone installing themes and what not. But i don't think it returns the phone to factory settings- I could be wrong since I am a complete newb to android.

So to make a long story even longer- that is why I asked if your remembered to make your own nandroid back up of your phone b4 you did all this stuff- so you have a way to return your phone to its original factory state. If you did not- then don't let it bother you. I have read many posts from seasoned android users that simply got excited and forgot to do it. Eventually - the SBF has to be leaked and we all can sleep a little easier.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DroidXChat:
I didn't make a nandroid backup. Thanks for letting me know about this, now I know not to try to revert until a true sbf comes out, you might have just saved me from bricking. I guess if an OTA comes out, and we still don't have an SBF, I'll just have to wait for a customized version of that OTA to be released.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DroidXChat:
Turns out the full SBF was released yesterday by the way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807903
[Droid X Themes and Apps] thepolishguy:
Yes- this is confirmed lagitamate. So you are good to go. You can now restore to factory by downloading this sbf and using RSDlite (RSDLight? - can't remember).

So- didn't have to wait to long ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gai-jin:
Just got a couple of heroes. I came looking for a froyo rom, but I see there's not a lot of choices there.

Hoping for some recommendations on a rom to speed things up. Maybe it's just because my other android phone is a Droid, but these seem SLOW. Still, stable is a priority, so I don't want to trade reliability for speed.

I rather like the sense UI, so if it has that, great. If not, that's ok too.

My wife is a big nascar fan. I need that nascar app on her phone. Not sure if that's downloadable from the market on any rom, or if it's only available built in. One way or the other, she will not be happy without it.

Any suggestions?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
I use switchpro for this also and if you only use the switchpro widget to toggle 4g on or off, it works correctly - it will scan for networks, and stay connected.

But if you try to turn 4g on through the menu and wireless networks once you install the switchpro 4g toggle, 4g will turn off immediately, and won't even get to the scanning part. If you turn it on through SwitchPro first, then you can turn it off and back on through wireless networks, and it will keep connecting fine, until you use switchpro to toggle it off.

Has anyone experienced a dead back light on their EVO?

I flashed Caulkin's rom 2 days ago.. it has worked flawlessly for those 2 days.

Today, I used my phone, ended a call, plugged it into my car charger, and then the next time I tried to use it, the screen was dead.

I can see everything on the LCD in direct sunlight, but the back light won't light.

I've booted into recovery, flashed, etc.. still no back light - ever.

The lower keys still light up.

edit: Also, the phone is hot as hell. Like the 4g radio is on and I'm doing benchmarking all at the same time. CPU shows idle-ish, and 4g radio is off.

Other than turning it in (I need to flash back to stock) is there anything I can do?

Thanks...
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The heat makes me think there was some kind of hardware failure. I'd assume something like this would be covered under the 1 year HTC warranty.
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Back when I had my TP, whenever the phone would get too hot the backlight would 'disconnect' I guess to prevent damage to the phone, once the phone cooled down the backlight would come back to life... try it. I had to remove the battery to make it happen and let it cool down for a good 2 or 3 hours before I was able to get the backlight again. This happened because:

1 the phone was on direct sunlight OR

2 bad AC adapter overloaded the battery
[EVO 4G General] cj00ta:
I thought the same. I had the battery out for about 2 hours.. still the same thing.

Flashed the stock rom.. knowing that it wouldn't help (even when I boot into bootloader, still no BL).. but it's at least ready for Sprint in the morning.

FWIW, I was first in line on launch day for this phone. It's had some seriously heavy use.

But in the ~14-15 years of owning cell phones.. I've never had an issue like this.

I've seen all the posts about formatting the sd card with the ext3 filesystem, but i would like to know if there is a way to modify the root filesystem to be ext as well?

Well this may be OCD of me :D, but I like knowing the file system isn't some virtual filesystem. I'm still learning advantages and disadvantages of different file systems, but I know that FAT (or RFS) is horrible.

It sounds like I'd need to write my own ext4 driver, flash a kernel with that driver, make a partition on the main 1GB internal memory as ext4, and install the ROM over that. Am I missing anything, or does that sound right? And if that is right, are there resources on how to do that task?

Thanks so much, everyone!
