It's flashing back to stock rom, thanks you guys!

I just won't flash a custom rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmik67:
What are you talking about? This is massively incorrect. You only lose your 3 buttons ability to enter recovery or download mode depending on your particular phone. i have always had it working, have flashed back to stock countless times, and have never either lost my 3 buttons ability or needed the "3 button fix".

Look under your battery. There is a # on the sticker, i believe beneath the serial #. It is 100x.

1006=fine, no probs.

1007=iffy, some good and some bad.

1008=3button fix REQUIRED almost every time......
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnewsgrp:
I have 1008. I lose 3 button combo everytime I flash to stock. Anyway there is no harm in reapplying it so why not recommend it? I don't want the OP to lose the ability.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
Although you are correct that the one-click doesn't kill the button combos on all phones, it does on most batch 1008 phones and maybe all newer phones. It's a good idea to point people to the flasher that you know won't disable the combos, particularly when the person you are trying to help is pretty clueless about how all this stuff works.

What problem are you having? Your post just says you're stuck..... IMO if you can't figure out how to download/install APKs (let alone applications that are provided on market) then you DON'T need a rooted phone.

Here are direct links to locations for both of those applications rather than the androlib links provided in the other thread.

Install those and follow the directions in the thread -- funny how people complain that superoneclick doesn't work when this uses exactly the same payload.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zm4:
Super one click does not work for your information.

And I understand how to have a rooted phone I was asking for help on how to root 2.1.

Shut up with your negative attitude and thank you very much for your helpful post.

And it is funny how you people think that when we ask for help on rooting that we are stupid.

And I didn't mean I was stuck on download .apk files. I was stuck on the first step with the commands and stuff...

I tried to run the adb file and it wouldn't work...

One more thing.

Why does my phone always restart when I connect to the USB?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kriskot:
Hi,

I got new phone dual sim from China on wm 6.5, and in the settings/system/device information it shows 128mb of RAM, while in settings/system/memory it shows only 77. I checked 2 independent applications (cleanRam and advanced task mgr) and both of them show 77mb.

Did chinese manufacturer cheat me?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
No, you just don't understand how RAM works.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kriskot:
Can you please be more specific?

In my pc, running on xp I have very clear and reliable information about total ram in task manager (total, used, free), so I compare this to windows mobile. And it's different.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the show stopper:
it means your phone is using 51mb of the memory and has 77mb free memory left to use. when you scan your phone with clean ram it shows you the free ram available. same do the task manager.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kenishizen:
I've seen this similar problem on my iPhone4 (china/clone).. it showed, 16Gb of internal/phone memory but when I tried to put a song (more or less 5mb) it showed that I was already using 60% of the total space.. and the annoying part was that it still showed the same information before I transfered the song..

I really have to agree that we are being cheated by these manufacturers..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kriskot:
Hi,

come on, I am not so "newbie"...

it shows 33 used+44 free=77 total, while in specification says: 128mb of RAM
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AdrianK:
I don't know how WinMo works (never used it), but on Android there's RAM designated to the Dalvik VM and another lot designated to the system/kernel.

I guess it's similar on WinMo, 51mb is probably being reserved for something useful.

Since it's a Chinese clone it's probably using really dodgy flash memory, which is acting up, rather than an intentional modification to show a larger capacity.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kriskot:
I just read that WM 6.5 on start takes around 40 mb of RAM, so something independent from WM is eating my RAM, or simply does not exist physically... any idea how to check it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zsunsun:
They are being reserved as "pagepool" Windows Mobile caches frequently accessed files in there for quick access.

You can decided how much you want to reserve for pagepool when you flash a new rom with tool called PagePool_Changer
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
There is 128 MB of ram, but you don't get to use all of it for program memory. Some is reserverd for the page pool, the radio, hardware buffers and for the kernel/OS. The task managers just don't report the ram that you have no control over. This is how it is with all devices.

Edit: try reading this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] crmcsh01:
I am not sure how their phones work, but I do know that awhile back, I purchased a 16gb flash drive when they first came out and when I plugged it into my computer it read 4gb and even after formatting it still is only 4gb. It says 16gb on the drive itself but there is NO way that is correct. Be careful when you buy some of this Chinese garbage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] panflute:
I have a Dash 3G running win 6.5 with over 100 great apps, CHome, sliding panels, GPS, SPB TV, Core Player, Wunder Radio, MIRC chat, etc etc etc. I have months of time into it and everything works well. Along comes WP7 and the HTC Surround which I am getting Monday morning at a very reasonable $200. AT&T charges monthly fees for their “premium” apps which puts them out of my reach. Bing maps probably is a subscription and google maps is not installed. I mostly use WiFi at home and do not have a data plan. AT&T requires a minimum $15 data plan that allows 200 megs per month so I may be be able to get my emails and listen to streaming radio if a third party app becomes available. I plan to hold onto the Dash 3G for a while. I am wondering if developers will work on porting their apps to WP7 so I don’t have to pay those monthly fees and I can get back the functionality I have on my Dash. I am not sure if WP7 will be able to transfer my movies onto the new phone. The HTC Surround is faster, nice big screen, new capabilities. We all have the jitters when upgrading….we put in a lot of customization and get used to the way our toys work and then the process repeats so it can be a bit unnerving when letting go. There must be other members here with the same concerns? :confused:

-panflute
[Windows Phone 7 General] lqaddict:
I thought Zune comes with streaming, no?

As far as I know bing maps like google maps are subscription free services.

As for all your other WinMo apps, you either have to dash them with your Dash or wait and see if there is an emulator for WinMo 6.5 apps available in the near future - I am hearing "the near future" is a trend word of WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
Hey,

I don't know about any of the other issues you face, I came from Android (before that I came from Windows Mobile which was absolute **** imo). But for the video, yes you can play video and by the looks of it you can play ANY kind of video on the phone.

I say any, because the only way to put video on the phone is through zune and zune will convert the video before syncing it, so the phone itself might not support (for example) .mkv but zune will just convert that to whatever format is supported before syncing it to the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] panflute:
Streaming

That is useful info. I played with a Zune once but it was an early model and it was useless. Guess they improved on it. The AT&T Navigator which uses Bing is a subscription based app...so you have to pay AT&T for it if you want to use it even if you are using your own WiFi connection for streaming. Same thing goes for the the Zune apps maybe. I'll know more tomorrow when I get my hands on the phone. I would probably prefer to have the HD7 but AT&T does not have it and T-Mobile requires their $30 data plan for unlimited web access.....its a good deal, but still expensive if you total up the yearly cost. Also we are getting version 1.0 of WP7...there's a lot missing like multitaking, copy and paste, skinning etc...so hopefully the rom updates will be available to all when they are released. Upgrading the phone when new models become available could be an issue since right now they are asking $800 for unlocked WP7 phones. The reviews on all of the WP7 phones vary greatly. Some love it, some hate it, some are thoughtful, some of the reviewers are incompetent. But I get a good overall feeling about the OS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i doubt it will be ROM updates so much. Also, i don't think you need to use AT&T Navigator. I have a HTC Trophy, and quite a few of my contacts, i've put their address there so it's easy for me (this was because i had tomtom on my wm6.5, and could do navigate to contact), and in windows phone 7 it works just as well. i view the contact, click on view address, and it comes up with bing map of it. then i can do get directions.

at the moment it doesn't have turn by turn navigation live, but it does show directions which is good enough considering version 1. Though i would like to see this come in the next update, or at least the update after.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
All carrier custom apps can be uninstalled from the device.. AT&T navigator is a pay service, bing maps is free. AT&T Navigator (and TeleNav on T-mobile) offer turn by turn.. but they cost $15/mo or thereabouts..

To stream music w/ Zune you need to have a Zune Pass, which is $15/mo but you get to buy and keep 10 songs per month as part of that deal.

Slacker radio is free internet radio and is pre-loaded onto the device as well.. so there's that option for interested parties.

Here's a short list of subscription based services that are available out of the box on WP7 -

1. Netflix $9/mo (?)

2. Zune pass $15/mo

3. AT&T Navigator/TeleNav $15/mo (?)

4. AT&T U-Verse Mobile/T-Mobile TV $10/mo

Hope this clears things up a bit..
[Windows Phone 7 General] panflute:
info

Yes thanks again for the info...that clears some of it up. I guess this means that WP7 is open for installing 3rd party apps which means I don't have to use AT&T apps and that is very good news. Most of the internet TV apps are just front end links to streaming stations most of which you can probably open in Internet Explorer. I have heard no mention of Windows Media Player. I am not interested in streaming music, just playing what I already have. The free streaming radio app will be fine if there are enough stations...like talk radio and BBC. It will be interesting to see what apps will be offered for free in the marketplace and what 3rd party apps will become available.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lex2810:
Hi everyone,

This is a copy of my thread in the Questions and Answers forum, but since I don't get much reactions there, maybe it's better I put it here:

I am actually trying to cook my first ROM for my Topaz, and I'm encountering several difficulties . Actually, my biggest problem for the moment is about the EXT packages.

First, I need to have something clarified : EXT packages depend on the device you are using, right? So for example, you can't use the same packages on both a TP2 and a Topaz.

Because then, I can't find the latest packages released for the Topaz, so what am I supposed to do to get them? How do the chefs do to find theirs?

Just for precision, I'm using visual osKitchen.

Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Don't charge your phone overnight! When it gets really low, slap it on the charger for a couple hours until you've got 85-90%. Unplug and enjoy fantastic battery life. I have gotten about double normal battery life (approximately 48 hours) using this method. I'm on CM6.1, mind you, so it may be some quirk with the ROM.

--
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Ive been saying this for a while. I charge up my phone to about 96% and i let it go till almost 5% before i throw it back on the charge. That usually gives me 12 to 18 hours. A lot of people tend to get "battery panic" and throw it on soon as they see it draining a bit. Just leave it alone.
[EVO 4G General] clayginn:
I charge on a wall charger. I have three batteries and change daily. I get 22-24 hours and 5-6 hours of hard use.
[EVO 4G General] ThatTmoGuy:
the evo charges to 100% then cycles to 90% then back to 100% so that it does not explode from over heating thats why when you grab your phone in the morning it might say 93% rather than 100% i dont mind though cause i dont want my phone to blow up
[EVO 4G General] PGRtoo:
I'm a lot more inclined to believe that it's either an engineering error or a half-baked idea with undesirable consequences. The reason I say that is I've had countless other cell phones and consumer electronics devices which used LiPo batteries for power, yet the Evo is the first device that I'm aware of which operates like that. The rest will stop charging when the batteries are fully charged, but they'll continue to use the external power to run the device as long as it's plugged in.

Pete
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I think the purpose is to prolong the battery life so it doesn't charge again every time it drops to 99%.

--
[EVO 4G General] PGRtoo:
Apparently my point is just blowing right past everyone. :(

For most modern consumer electronics devices the charger can serve at least two functions which are charge the battery and run the device. These functions are remotely related by virtue of the fact that the power comes from the same source, but the functions themselves are typically quite independent of each other. In other words, most devices can run off the charger's power regardless of whether the battery is being charged or not, and when the device

is

running on the charger, it's

not

drawing power from the battery.

But it appears that the Evo doesn't do things that way. In essence, it seems like the Evo is hard-wired to the battery and the charger is incapable of independently powering the device when it's not charging the battery. So the battery reaches full charge, the charging circuit shuts off, and the phone starts draining the battery despite the fact that the charger is still connected. Once the battery drains to ~85-90% the charging circuit kicks back on, the battery gets charged back to 100%, and the whole process repeats itself.

Consequently it's a crapshoot whether our Evos will be fully-charged when we take them off of the charger unless we take some additional steps. I can deal with those extra steps, but I can't come up with any practical reason why we should have to. No matter how long I analyze the situation, I can't see any benefit to doing things that way except, perhaps, to save on manufacturing costs. All I can come up with are annoying extra steps and unnecessary battery charge-discharge cycles, and I can't grasp how those benefit anyone.

I see that you and I have carried some of the same phones in the past, TheBiles (Sanyo 8300, Treo 650, Hero) and I don't remember any of those phones coming off a charger with anything less than a full charge unless I interrupted the charge cycle. In fact, I'm convinced that no phone that I've ever carried has had this problem. The Evo is the very first one which is why I suspect some folks at HTC are quietly saying oopsie.

Pete
[EVO 4G General] BHack:
Pete, I'm not convinced most smart phones actually power themselves off of the wallcharger when plugged in as you seem to think. I have no real evidence to back this up, though - other than my own observations.

I will say that the EVO's method isn't as isolated as you seem to think. For example, the Palm Pre which I owned for a year previous to the EVO operates in the exact same manner.

The Pre would hit 100%, stop charging, operate on battery power until it dropped to 95%, then charge from 95 back to 100. The EVO, however, drops down to 90 before it starts the charge cycle again. This is probably better for the battery - but more confusing from a user perspective.

This might be your first phone that operates this way, but it certainly isn't unique to smartphones or HTC.
[EVO 4G General] WrlsFanatic:
I completely agree. This is clearly going on, and I'm surprised more people don't talk about it. I put Cyanogen on mine the day I got it, so I thought that was the issue, but I went back to stock (for a day) and it did the same thing. The light goes off after 90% and it stops charging at 100% until it drops below 90%. I also agree that it doesn't seem to serve a usable purpose, and seems to be a design flaw.

I'm still very happy with the phone, but when battery life is this important, that's kind of a big deal.
[EVO 4G General] WrlsFanatic:
I had two Pres, and both had the battery % mod on them. I used to set them on my touchstone at work all day long, and I would take them off periodically. My battery drained so bad I could lose 30% in an hour with light use. If I ever took it off the touchstone when it wasn't at 100%, it was only because it got too low and wasn't at 100% yet. I noticed this on day one with my EVO, and never noticed a single issue anything like this on my Pre.

I'm not saying it wasn't there, I'm saying I NEVER noticed this. As far as I knew, it charged to 100% and then ran off the plug, or at least that's what I assumed.
[EVO 4G General] turn:
this is a strange thread for xda; competent, fully formed sentences. civilized banter. it's nice!

on topic though, i have noticed and came to this conclusion independently a couple months ago. it's kind of irritating - i hate how cheap manufacturers can be sometimes (all the time).
[EVO 4G General] WrlsFanatic:
Hey, I've seen MUCH worse forums. :) Try Anandtech sometimes. Some great threads there, and a ton of awful.

I feel like HTC is just not that company that cuts corners. I think this might have been a real attempt to make something work well - or better - but in my opinion it failed miserably.
[EVO 4G General] BHack:
You may not have noticed it, but I can guarantee you the Pre charged as I described. It was a "crapshoot" when you pulled it off the charger as to where you actually were in the charge. You could be anywhere from 95 - 100. Of course, the Pre would always show 100%, just as the EVO does.

Because the Pre's battery was smaller, WebOS was more battery hungry than Android, and the fact that it only cycled down to 95 instead of 90 like the EVO are all reasons why you might not have noticed it, but it was there.
