Help... I flashed rom and everything was working great... then out of nowhere it started jumping screens... and locked up... took battery out and tried to restart... now it just sits at the red animated droid screen at boot up.... I don't know how to get back to the boot recovery screen... I have a D2....
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Need more info. Which ROM(was it the right version like not the DX version)?

Did you install correctly (i.e. made a backup before flashing, mounted /system and /data before flashing etc.)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xxljmzlxx:
I'm using a 2400mah extended battery I got on eBay with MDJ Clean Sense 2.4v with 8.4eb kernel.

My battery will display 24% battery and when I remove and replace the battery it will show something like 74%.

I think I've seen this question asked before but I can't find it.

Does anyone know if there's a fix?

Thanks!

Turn off phone.

Charge battery completely, green LED will turn on.

Keep charger plugged in still.

Turn on phone, boot into Android.

Delete batterystats.bin file inside root/data/system/

Reboot.

Unplug charger when Android boots.

lol if I can't find it... does it mean i don't have a batterystats.bin?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
From what you're saying, I think you might be looking at the sdcard directory using either your computer or a standard file explorer (i.e. ES File Explorer or Astro File Manager). You need to use the app ROOT EXPLORER and browse the system files while running Android. This will allow to see every system file/folder. You can either support the development of the app by buying it from the market, or google "root explorer mobilism" and download the apk from that forum. Once you get that app installed and running. You'll be able to find your batterystats.bin file in the directory I posted. /root/data/system/....and FYI, when I say "/root/" it's not an actual folder that you'll see when you open Root Explorer, it just means the very base of the directory. So when you open up Root Explorer, just look for a "data" folder, and then a "system" folder inside that. I hope this is thorough enough.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
Hi all,

I just recently rooted and installed SetCPU to improve battery life. I created a profile for ScreenOff and set min to 100mhz and max to 400mhz. Last night while charging the phone overnight, when I woke up the phone was scorching hot, and the battery had no fully charged. SetCPU read Battery Temp at 120 F and Battery at 79%.

Has anyone else experienced this or know of a reason why it occurs? I've disabled the profile to see if it makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.
[Fascinate General] Kaessa:
Don't use profiles on the Fascinate. Someone else can explain why, I've just been told it's bad.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
Simple enough. Thanks for the quick reply.
[Fascinate General] papstar:
After 2 days of not using profiles, my phone battery is still heating up to 110 F +. Anyone have any ideas?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
I've been using a power usage app designed for the N1 called "PowerTutor" for the past week or so (app link, homepage link).

Ever since I've started using it, I've noticed that two apps are constantly using tons and tons of battery, despite me never using them: Contacts and Messaging. Notice in the screenshots below they have been running 100% of the time since my last reboot and using the most battery, more than any of the apps that I actually use:

Left: Current Power Usage (As of this second).

Right: Total Power Usage (Since reboot).

​

These apps never go away. Now, I understand how Android task management works, so the fact that they are running isn't the problem; but the fact that they are using battery constantly seems to be a huge issue, since A) I never use them and yet B) together they have by far the highest power consumption apps on my phone. What the heck??

What is going on here? Does anyone else use PowerTutor?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rori~:
Interesting find...

Seems like no one dares to comment on this...now I´m curious.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] thanzm:
The app must be messaging your contacts in the background...

Or maybe this app drafts a message to one of your contact, then discards it and then drafts the same message to another contact and again discards it and so on....

The tutor in the name suggests that it wants to teach you a lesson... Don't install random apps on your phone and them give it permission to use whatever resources that it wants...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] myakove:
If you using CM ROM so maybe you lock messaging in the memory (CM setting > performance )
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
I messaged the developer and he responded with this:

Interesting...

My question then is, if we were to filter out OLED, wouldn't that mean we'd be missing out on some data (data that is actually valid)?

Though I'm not sure I understand what it means to have an app listed in multiple categories? And what that will do when one category is filtered out.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekazoid:
I have a hardware locked vibrant, but with I've been getting by with adb to get into recovery to root and install CWM and ROMS.

Recently my phone got interrupted while doing an Odin restore and now i've bricked my phone. I get the "Phone ! PC" screen everytime I power up.

I can't use adb orCWM to boot into download mode, and my phone has never responded to any combination of buttons on start-up to get it there. What else could I do?

I heard this is considered a defect, if it is hopeless to fix should I try to return it to t-mobile even though it's bricked? or just report it lost?

EDIT: FIXED!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C_Rod_27:
I have a very similar problem. My phone got stuck on the Vibrant boot screen after trying to flash a rom. I can't get my phone into download mode so that I can use ODIN. All it does it stay stuck on the Vibrant Boot screen. Can't start the phone, can't get into recovery. If anybody can help us, that would be great. I do hear that most phones should be able to get into recovery mode if not then we should return it. My problem is that I bought my phone on eBay. I can't return it to T-Mobile.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekazoid:
If you can get into the vibrant boot screen you may be able to use ADB to reboot into download mode.

Oooh =/ That happened to me.

But I got it fixed :)

IDK if this will work w/ hardware locked (nor do i even know what hardware locked is):

What I did was power off the phone, charged it, you should see a battery appear. When that happens, then press power, vol up, vol down, hold those button.

AS SOON AS THE SCREEN TURNS BLACK, release power, and it should get you into DL mode, then you may unplug, then odin, then restore it :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyrcks9901:
Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode. Once you get to download mode, follow the directions later in my post...

First Method

1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.

2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.

3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.

4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on, immediately release the power button but not the other two. You should be in dl mode.

Second Method

1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery, sim, sd card.

2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power button.

3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.

Third Method

1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB.

Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...=SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe

Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...ung/vibrant/&file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip

2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.

3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.

4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it reappears, release all 3 buttons.

5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.

6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.

7) Your phone will reboot into the download mode.

Once in download mode

Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there or the ones below.

Odin and Files Needed Available Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected. If it doesn't try using a different usb port.

2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that once you are in Odin.

3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two options should be checked.

4) Hit start and wait.

5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.

Also, you might have to build the usb jig. It is guaranteed to get you into download mode. Here is a link to that thread:

Since you're hardware-locked, your only choice is the usb jig or returning the phone (If you got it from T-Mobile, they may replace on grounds of faulty hardware, like they did for my first Vibrant). Seems like the jig is the easiest option, so long as you or someone you know can solder the thing, and it is pretty much guaranteed to work.

Hi Peoples,

I'm expecting my droid pro to arrive tomorrow. Was wondering if anyone knew if rom manager (appbrain.com/app/rom-manager/com.koushikdutta.rommanager) and wireless tether (appbrain.com/app/wireless-tether-for-root-users/android.tether) work on the droid pro.

also, does koushik's bootstrap for droid 2 and droid x work on droid pro?

lastly, if i try to install rom manager after rooting my droid pro, might it brick my phone - and i assume currently there would be no way to restore it?

THANKS!
[Droid Pro General] feerlessleadr:
while i certainly am not technical by any means, I can confirm that I was able to install rom manager and wireless tether to my rooted pro.

I haven't tried to actually use rom manager since I don't know if clockwork mod recovery works with the pro.

I can confirm however that wireless tether is working fine on the pro (unfortunately for some reason though my work computer says that the wireless signal is blocked by my administrator)
[Droid Pro General] rice247:
Wireless tether does work. I was going to try and flash clockwork but it only shows the x and droid 2. I didn't know if either would work and didn't want to take a chance on my wife's phone lol
[Droid Pro General] jayhammy:
Which version of wireless tether are you using?
[Droid Pro General] rice247:
I just downloaded the one from the market. I take a look at it when my wife gets home though
[Droid Pro General] abw1987:
Quick question -

I'm considering upgrading to a Droid Pro. Does the tethering app you guys referenced also allow USB tethering?

I would love to tether over WiFi but my employer has disabled connections to ad-hoc networks, so I currently am relegated to USB tethering on my Touch Pro 2.
[Droid Pro General] Xdadevhk:
Tether

Hi All

The only app that seems to work for wired and wireless tether is PDANet. Works really well.

I tried Barnacle and Wireless Tether and neither would work.

I rooted with Z4 without issue. Have not tried Clockwork yet.
[Droid Pro General] jayhammy:
I can confirm that wireless tether DOES work, but only as ad hoc. There is a hack for the 3G mobile hotspot out there which gives you full infrastructure wifi tethering.
[Droid Pro General] abw1987:
Well that's good news, eh?

Whether I can use this PDAnet app to tether over USB, or figure out this hack to enable full-on WiFi tethering, I should be all set. Hopefully I have the mental capacity to figure it all out. I have a little experience with custom ROMs etc on WinMo, but this will be my first dive into Android.

I guess I'll pull the trigger on a Droid Pro this weekend. Wish me luck - haha.
[Droid Pro General] Rev1vaL:
It's def worth it. I love this phone more and more everyday. Not to mention I bought this outright
[Droid Pro General] Xdadevhk:
PDA Net will connect via Bluetooth also.
[Droid Pro General] feerlessleadr:
anyone get the 3g mobile hotspot hack to work?

i tried dialing ##778, but I just get a message that the number can't be completed as dialed.

Unfortunately my company blocks adhoc connections on my laptop, so I can't use wireless tether
[Droid Pro General] alejo:
I can confirm Wireless Tether works with a rooted Pro, just use the Z4Root app in the Market.
[Droid Pro General] abw1987:
Cool. Do you think that might be blocked as an ad-hoc network as well? Either way I'm sure I'll figure out a way.

I'm getting pretty excited about this phone. It's exactly the same size as my old Motorola Q9c (personal phone for voice/texts; the Droid Pro will be my work phone for data) so they will fit nicely together in my pocket.

Question - what are the SatNav options on the Droid Pro? Sorry to be so knobby, but I've grown quite dependent on the free Bing navigation on my Touch Pro 2.
[Droid Pro General] abw1987:
Wow, this PDAnet Bluetooth tethering is awesome. Now I can just keep my phone in my pocket - no cable required.
[Droid Pro General] methfan:

Rom Manager

Sorry for bringing up an old post, but this was the first that had Rom Manager mentioned in it.

Own both HTC Incredible and Moto Droid Pro

So I just rooted my MDP and installed Rom Manager. Wanted to Flash Clockwork but it didn't list the MDP on it. Didn't want to chance flashing for the droid 2 or x and bricking my phone.

Anyways my question is:

If you aren't using Rom Manager and Clockwork to back up /change your roms, what app are you using?
[Droid Pro General] droidpr0:
As a droid pro owner the wireless tethering app works and I have 2.0 installed.update takes away access control as well as rom manager installed and working 100%. This is on a rooted droid pro and clockwork recovery works as well with no problems. Just download droid 2 bootstrapped and follow the instructions. I love my droid pro and patiently awaiting custom roms
[Droid Pro General] rafeee2:
Download Droid 2 or Droid X bootstrap.
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
Recovery reboot hangs....

On Droid Pro, rooted with Z4, I have installed DroidX Recovery Bootstrap v1.0.0.5, and ROM Manager Premium v3.0.0.7. In ROM Manager the request to flash ClockworkMod Recovery gives choices for DroidX and Droid2, not Pro. Flashing one gives ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7, the other 2.5.0.8. Both appear to install in Pro ok. But, upon attempting to reboot into recovery, in order to do a nandroid backup, using either v. of ClockworkMod, either from ROM Manager "Reboot into Recovery", or using DroidXBootstrapper "Reboot Recovery" (after successful run of "Bootstrap Recovery", the same non-event happens. The Pro shuts down, the reboot Motorola M logo appears for a while, and then the screen goes into the almost black, twilight gray sort of backlighted mode and just stays there. No further action. An ordinary battery remove-replace soft reset reboots the device to the normal operating state with nothing changed. Have tried several times, same result. Any experience or advice with this? Much appreciated - JM

hotspot

Yes hotspot works to me the best way is to use radio comm and there is a thread in XDA on this subject, the hotspot is awesome
[Droid Pro General] andy'sfriend:
I successfully used the droid 2 clockworkmod and droid 2 bootstrapper.

just "reboot recovery" from the droid 2 bootstapper and you'll be able to get into clockwork from there. you can't get into clockwork from rom manager (or at least I dont know how).

enjoy!
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
Yes. Many thanks. Droid X bootstrapper would not work for my Droid Pro, but per your advice Droid 2 bootstrapper did, effortlessly. I uninstalled Droid X with Titanium Backup Pro first, then installed D2B. Did nandroid bu, rebooted, all is well. One difference in using this with the Pro is that the instructions for activating choices in clockwork are to use the camera button - Pro has no camera button- but intuitively I used the return key and presto - action. Thanks again. JM
[Droid Pro General] dep01:
Good info in the thread. I've also been able to log in to clockwork recovery and make backups via the Droid 2 Bootstrap market app.

The next thing I wanted to dip a toe in to, though, was Rom Manager. Once you have been able to make backups, what ROMs have you actually used through ROM manager with your droid pro? Can you speak to any successes there? Or is there no Droid Pro support in those ROMs yet?
