[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Thatdudeyousaw:
It's been a while since this has been brought up, but I was wondering if there has been any current development regarding 720p recording within Android.

It was announced a few months ago that it was possible but never implemented into any builds.

I would take the buggiest build if the only working feature on it was 720p recording.

So has 720p recording been set on the back-burner until more important features are stabilized?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ArkAngel_X:
id think so, and also hardware limitations is a big factor as well... can the Leo's camera even capable of recording 720p video?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Yes it is. And if I'm not wrong informed I think the devs are working on it. But at the moment it is secondary. They first want to finish NAND. I guess it will be implemented then.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BriEE:
Ok, I have a FREENAS server running with SMB/CIFS. I can access it NO PROBLEMS within windows environment using the folders windows to see my server.

I tried googling CIFS but there's really nothing about exactly why or how I can mount this within Linux or my Desire using CIFS manager. It doesn't work. I don't understand?

In linux I'm trying just mount -t cifs //Serendipity/DataServer /mnt/abc

and this doesn't work..

I get this error message like mount: wrong fs type, bad option ................. etc

Please help, or help me understand how CIFS works, I really don't know why it's so difficult to mount, just like any other mount or NFS. :(

I am not able to access my android game.

As i start it up, it stays on the Loading screen.

The game is Project INF. I have confirmed its working from other devices.

I am wondering what I can do to make the game work again.

Im not IP banned as I have checked that, and I have tried using a different google account setup on the same phone, but I still cant get the loading screen.

What else can I do?

Cyanogen Modded btw.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinichi21:
Im getting confused so i just want to clarify these apps, If i flash my captivate using ODIN doesnt all the files get deleted? so I don't get it how can you use these apps to recover any of files if its deleted during the procedure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Titanium backup is for apps and settings. ROM Manager backs up your ROM and your current setup, it is also used to flash ROMS and other mods and CloclworkMod Recovery is a part of the app. Get the paid version of both apps, not expensive and you will be using them often.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinichi21:
so if i buy these 2 and flash my phone using odin they will stay on my phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
No. No apps stay on your phone after flashing. When you use these two apps, they store files on your internal SD card. This does not get touched when you flash a new rom. Therefore after you flash a new rom, just go to the market, redownload the apps, and restore what you've backed up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinichi21:
I got a new question guys I backup my stock ROM the one that comes on factory but rooted and im currently running cog 2.2 beta 9.1.2. My question is if i restore backup will it restore to my old 2.1 stock with root?

And for my next question is there a way to go back to stock ROM jf6 using ROM manager? Thanks everyone in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
I have Rom manager and did a Rom backup.

How do I restore my phone?

I did something and my phone will not come on.

It will get the AT&T world phone screen, the 3G splash and even play the sounds

and the Galaxy S screen than goes black.

Doing the volume up/down and power take me to recovery screen,

did reinstall package chose update.zip but no luck.

So I have had my g2 since Friday and have been loving until today I have had no problems with it except the hinge but like everyone says that's how its suppose to be, but today my voice search wasn't working for some reason so I decided to turn off my phone, and turn it back on but when I turned it on it was stuck at the htc logo and never loaded, so I did it again same thing so I went into fastboot and rebooted the phone from there and it finally loaded but I tested it out again and it gets seems to get stuck on the logo a lot and loaded a few times, does anyone else get this problem? Should I return it for a new one?

[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
Hi guys!

I was using my X10 just now and i wanted to charge it cuz i needed to record something for my interview tomorrow. So I decided to plug in the charger, it was at 34% at that time, and everything was fine; the orange light was on and it was charging. Then I was browsing through some stuff and then the phone slipped out of my hand but I caught (kung fu skills :p) in time but seemed to grabbed it too hard. I put my phone down for a while and when I went back to check it, the orange light was off and it wasn't charging anymore so I thought i accidentally kicked the charger or something. I unplugged it, and plugged it back and nothing. It doesn't work when I connect it to my laptop either. I tried taking the batteries out, waited a while and plugged it back again and it's still not working :( funny thing is when I turned the phone back on, it went down from 34% to 21% in about 5 minutes, and I wasn't even fiddling with the phone. I don't know if it's a hardware problem or software problem cuz I might have put too much pressure on the charger port and cracked it or something. I checked it but it seems fine. I really don't know what to do, and the Search function in this forum doesn't work either! I need the phone for tomorrow cuz I have this interview assignment thing...holycrap! what a bad day. Help, please? anyone??
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Only real quick solution to get you through that interview is to buy a wallcharger in wich you put your battery. And regarding the damage it sounds hardware related, hope you have insurance! You might get lucky though if you return it for warranty but remember, there's usually a fee if they think the damage was man-made. Good luck with the phone and on your interview!

Sent from my X10i
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
I heard about the wall charger before, but what use would it be if I can't connect my phone to the computer anyways :( I've had the X10 for about 3-4 months now, I hope the warranty service is still covered. Not sure if it'll work especially cuz I'm not the carrier's customer :(((
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
So you need to access stuff that's on the phone? Or you need to access the stuff that's on the phone *with the phone*?

The first one's easy. Just buy a micro sd adapter and you can plug it into your computer (assuming it has one of those ports)

The second one.. need some more info before advising what to do. I didn't get what exactly the information is that you need to access. Is it a recording, notes, pictures, what?
[XPERIA X10 General] Rockjock007:
A bill of sale is all you need and it can be fixed. have Rogers call the repair depot in Newmarket and make sure they have one, then take a drive they will take a look and swap it out usually in a few days.
[XPERIA X10 General] junkk29:
You mean the receipt for the X10? I still have it :) but I'm not actually with Rogers. I got my friend that's with Rogers to buy the phone for me in case something like this happens, I don't know if they'll let me or not cuz I rooted my phone and all. I think i'll try and unroot it and put it back to Rogers firmware. Thanks for the advice :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Thorux:
I'm from the UK and had exactly the same problem. I had to send it back to SE and they gave me a new unit. I had no proof of puchase though as I lost it awhile ago :/. But all in all it worked out well. They never told me what was wrong with the phone though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Okay, so like most everyone else I've been having Android Market problems. Even on WiFi I've had to hit the "retry" button several times because supposedly there were connection failures. So I was purchasing a $1 app and then I encountered the same "connection failure" problem. So I retried several times (I guess five) and then finally on the fifth time it worked.

Fast forward, and now I have an email in my inbox from Bank of America telling me that I bought that app five times!

Who do I call about this before its "punch a rep day" at T-Mobile.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Adam5400:
Google is who you have to contact about the purchases, as T-Mobile has absolutely no connection to the Android market outside of the free apps the offer.

Honestly, you may want to wait a bit, as the Android Market is supposed to be work to where once you purchase it once on your Google account you have it on all your android devices. My thinking behind that is maybe Google will refund $4 once they find the same app purchased 4 times on one account (By them finding that I mean a computer system detecting it).

In the end if it's a problem with the market you have to somehow get in touch with Google, and if you have specific complains about the phone you need to contact T-Mobile otherwise it's not T-Mobile's fault.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WilliamStern:
I'm sure if you write to the developer of the app, and state your case he/she will refund you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Google doesn't have a CS department. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Yeah, I thought about that. But I don't want this happening all the time. I really think there is a Market issue with this phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
This. I accidentally purchased Remote Desktop Client twice and the developer refunded me when I contacted him.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonnybueno:
I sell adw themes on the market and have never seen someone get charged for the same app twice. It's pretty common for the market to have the issues, and if I had to guess I would say that Google is simply putting a hold on the funds till your refund period is up. It takes 24 hours for a transaction to be finalized on my end and prior to that o cannot refund anyone, I can only cancel the transaction. I don't think that cancelling the transaction speeds up the process of the held money being returned to you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bigstunta101:
lol is it really necessary to blame the phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Okay. So I reviewed my Google Checkout tabs today and actually what had happened was there were ~7 $1 charges, probably because I hit the "retry" button ~7 times. BUT, there were only

authorization charges

and not app purchases. There was only one app purchase of $1.99.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Adam5400:
http://checkout.google.com/support/bin/request.py?ctx=cm

They don't have phone support but they do have a place to send the checkout people an email (Not sure if they'll actually respond though, hah), but that doesn't matter now as it seems to have worked itself out. (Good for future reference though)
[G2 and Desire Z General] shograt:
So basically, it worked perfectly, and charged you only once, despite connection problems. I'd call this a win for the market system.

& agree that this shouldn't be in a phone-specific forum. Your phone had nothing to do with this, for better or ill.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
When you make a purchase the bank receives electronic notification and places those funds on hold and reserves them. Google will probably probably only settle one transaction and the other holds will drop off on a few days. It happens all the time.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I'm down to 15% and It says its been on for 1 hour 30 minutes while my phones been unplugged for 9 hours and 30 minutes, but it used 68% of battery? Is the screen the biggest battery hog?

I always thought the AMOLED screens were supposed to be super battery efficient, but it always seems like its the thing totally KILLING battery life. Compared the battery usage to an evo with a standard LCD screen and even though its larger, it uses vastly less power.
[Epic 4G General] violinbf:
I owned the EVO before and while I was thinking about getting the epic, I read a lot about AMOLED technology. I posted a bunch in July about my findings.

Regarding Power Consumption I posted this in July:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7271721#post7271721

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7403102#post7403102

It turns out that AMOLED uses 3 times as much power as LCD when displaying text on white backgrounds...ouch. I stand by my decision to purchase the Epic however. The Battery life is actually a little better than what I got on the EVO.
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
They are for the most part, and there's more progress to be made in those regards, but it's conditional. For all white, it can uses more power, for something like watching a movie, the AMOLED wins. I think part of it, though, is that the rest of the phone is just ridiculously efficient. Either way, it looks fantastic.

Thanks. I was thinking about a factory reset but it seems like there's more at play. Not sure if there's anything we can do.

Also, has anyone found where the WiFi mac address is? I had to disable my access list on my router, connect and then note the address...
[7 Mozart General] rdster:
yes same here with Telstra. After retrying some apps like ebay, they eventually installed, but still so so many with errors. Also errors with Exchange email :(
[7 Mozart General] jasonmoore2k:
I bought a 7Mozart on Telstra yesterday. Same problem as you guys.

HTC Hub and a afew other HTC apps (e.g. Photo Enhancer) came preinstalled and were working fine. But I then tried to "download" the other HTC apps (e.g. Flashlight) as well as "update" the stock ones (e.g. Hub). When they started installing I got the "Can't play or download. There's a problem with the licence." message on all of them and then all of my other HTC apps started failing (could no longer open any of them). And now the HTC apps section of the marketplace appears to have been pulled down, which probably means they know they are bugged.

I ended up uninstalling all of the HTC apps and I guess I'll just wait until they put them back up (hopefully fixed).

Apart from that hiccup, my WP7 is going great! :D

Anyone have a soft keyboard that works with android 1.0?

OK so I am trying to root a friend's g1 after having done so myself, but after getting the dreaming.nbh on it and moving all her old applications and data through titanium to my computer, I am trying to do the Alt+S comand to flash the rom and it seems the "a", "s", "x" and "c" buttons are not responding. I don't know if it pre-existed, but I think it might have.

Now when I try to just use the old, the buttons don't work still, and I can't sign in (as i am writing this i realize I will try to create a new email without the faulty buttons to get by and get back to my sd card...)

OK i"m back to orig still can't get a soft keyboard to get through, can't update past the original android 1.0! All the apks I try to install through droid explorer on the pc never complete. Anyone got any ideas? I need to give it back tomorrow...

Update: At the triangle ! screen where I can't enter "Alt S", I get at the top:

Android system recovery utility E:Can't open cache/recovery/command

Guys, any advice is greatly appreciated! Even a soft keyboard for 1.0 would do wonders! I can't find one...

Nvrmind I had to physically fix the keyboard which only needed a disection

Now, where can I find an update.zip for the 1.0? dreaimg.nhb doesn't seem to load now but I can get to the recovery tool. Is that Amon?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zei:
To help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly:

1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more

2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour

3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, I tested this on my pops evo and my epic...MAJOR DIFFERENCE

After installing a new Kernel it is recommended tat you recalibrate our battery to get the most life out of your battery. I suggest using Phoenix kernel but your a grown man[or woman] choose your kernel

Hope this helps

Thx to bigdbag for these additional steps

[Epic 4G Android Development] gazment:
Trick trick trick trickle charge ;) Battery is in fast charge mode when it begins charging from a certain percentage (although slow). When the charge is in the 90's and you unplug and plug it back in it trickle charges to completion. This does indeed work. Works best in my opinion when you do this after you let the battery completely drain, plug in, recovery mode, wipe battery stats and then turn on.

And then do what you stated above.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dcorn619:
Yes!!!!!!!!

Totally gonna do this since my battery seems to be on the down side compared to everyone else's. :]
[Epic 4G Android Development] ravizzle:
i also reccomend an external battery charger that u place the battery into. no need for the trick. Ive used this trick before i got the external charger and yes it does work very well!
[Epic 4G Android Development] a454nova:
+1 on the ext charger. I have two batt. If I charge with the phone... one- goes from 100 to 97 withing sec from when I unplug it and two- it doesn't last as long. Using the charge and switching out the batts. Stays at 100 for a while and it will last forever too.

[Epic 4G Android Development] daddymikey1975:
I noticed this as well, so when my indicator LED turns blue and it says 100%, I unplug, then immediately plug back in until blue.. lather rinse repeat.. after about 3 or 4 times it finally stays at 100% when unplugged..

That being said, I'm gonna have to try to find an external charger and another battery...
[Epic 4G Android Development] LSanna1488:
My local sprint store sells a charger with extra battery for $49.99. Its an external charger that fits in your pocket. With charging cord of course.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
tried this, doesnt' seem to work for me. I unplugged, turned phone off, and charged, but phone said fully charged after like 15 minutes, I assume once it says 100% on the green battery that shows up when phone is off that I shouldn't just let it sit there? its not charging at that point anymore is it?

then i unplugged, turned on phone, waited 2 minutes, turned off, charged again, 15 minutes or so it was fully charged again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DarkManX4lf:
This reminds me of the chargobics that some ppl did on their evo to get better battery life....never really helped me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] daddymikey1975:
So what you're suggesting (re: recovery/battery stats) is the following:

1. use the phone until the battery completely dies.

2. plug the phone in

3. boot into recovery (clockwork ?)

4. wipe battery stats

5. turn the phone on

6. do the 'plug me in' dance after it's fully charged

What if the battery is fully charged and you wipe the battery stats ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jirafabo:
idk i think i used to do something similar on my Hero and even back on my (WinMo) Mogul and Touch Pro and never really got much out of it......

However, today I did this and I swear I'm getting great battery life today. Have never gotten past 12 hours and I'm currently sitting at about 40% left at 12 hours. Could be the placebo effect but we'll see..... even played some angry birds today.

Took 11 days to get here, but worth EVERY penny. I never need to worry about to battery life anymore. Hell, now that I charge my batteries using the external charger, I get atleast 8-10 hours with constant use, and my battery doesn't drop from 100 right away. I never get to the 3rd battery by the end of the day and thats with a 18 hour day unplugged. Worth it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
I have noticed some weirdness with the battery. I looked at the juiceplotter graph after the battery had been left charging all night, and it would charge to 100 and then over th course of half an hour drop down to 95% or so and then recharge up to 100 over and over and over again. I have taken it off the charger sometimes and the battery has gone from 100% to 96 % within a couple minutes and other times it stays at 100% for over an hour. It was a matter of luck as to when I pulled my phone off I guess, when it was really at 100% or really at 95-97% or anywhere inbetween.

Gonna try this PITA method of charging. Hope it works, but damn is it inconvenient.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
The external battery charger is the way to go. i have also noticed when i rarely charge from the phone that it sometimes wont stay at 100 but for a minute then drop to 97. i get 55 hours to one battery with moderate usage.
