[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJAZ:
I suspect (hope) only the battery was damaged from your friend's phone. Have her go to TMO and see if they will let her test charge a display Slide battery in her phone. If it starts charging and increases by a few percentage points then perhaps only the battery was damaged. Hope the situation gets worked out.

Just dropped mine in a full sink two weeks ago ... mine hit the edge and knocked the battery out milliseconds before the device hit the water (miracle). Fully submerged. Dried it over a weak heater vent for 2 days. Works just like new. I figured the phone was ok as I snatched it out of the water very quickly. My main concern was the battery ... I thought I might have damaged it. So far everything is just fine.

We have tested it with a new battery. Phone works perfectly fine just wont charge the battery, every feature works. Can even connect to computer with usb.

What im trying to figure out is if there is something I can do i.e. fix it somehow cheaply
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Your best bet is probably just using an external charger. I'm using a friends old phone that had a full glass of lemonade spill on it and sit for 5 hours in liquid, turned on. When he woke up the battery was sparking, contact was melted. The battery was partially fried from the short circuit, so I just bought a new battery. The only thing that doesn't work in the phone is the camera. The real downside to that is if any app tries to access the camera the phone completely locks up, takes about 10 seconds just to get out of the black screen.

I'm digressing, anyway, yeah, external charger is probably the best bet, if she has two batteries that should work just fine. Use one while the other is charging.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whgarner:
ultrasonic cleaning

if you disassemble to the charging circuit board or motherboard and try placing it into an alcohol solution in a u/s cleaner (also used for jewelry), this might clean the contacts and allow charging, might not do anything or damage the board. no guarantees on this method , but will sometimes work.

ps. remember that some circuit board cleaner solutions will dissolve plastic, recommend alcohol.

The best solution I have found for a wet phone, or any device for that matter, is to take the device apart as much as possible. Then put it in a ziploc bag of rice. Seal it up good so air doesn't get in. The rice will suck all the water out. I have done this with my old G1 (twice) as well as other phones.

There are a few IRC channels related to the Desire and ROMs:

#teamdesire - General stuff and dev for the Desire, some Desire devs are also here

#rootmydroid - A Channel dedicated to getting noobs rooted, ask all your questions here!

#cyanogenmod - Get help with the cyanogenmod rom here, do not talk about ROMs based on CM here or you'll get crucified ;)

#villainrom - Get help with VillainROM (Just watch out for Ninpo! :D)

You can join these channels in your IRC client with the address chat.freenode.net

Or you can click here and type in the channel you wish to join :)

If you can spare some time on these channels to help out the n00bs then it's always really helpful.

If you know any more channels please post here and I'll add them. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterSosa:

[Streak 5 General] akguy:
This morning my Streak decided to do a factory reset. I had listened to Audible last night and this morning the program was in "sleep" mode, the way I had set it. I touched the screen, it woke up and started playing. I turned the sound down and the screen went blank and then to the Dell Logo. When it was done rebooting, I discovered it had done a factory reset.

Well, I thought, that sucks, but no biggie, I had downloaded the "Dell Backup" program they just provided. I had several backups to choose from. I chose the one from two days ago. I ran it. It says it worked. All it restored were my wallpapers. :mad: I tried again. This time I went "advanced" and checked off all the options to restore including programs, and settings. This time after "restoring" it basicly wanted me to go through each of my 50 plus programs one by one and tell it to reinstall.:confused:

I don't call that a restore. I could do that myself with the appbrain market. So, Don't count on the Dell Backup and Restore program to do anything worthwhile.

I have had a problem the last few weeks with the Dell PC suite working when I tried to do a backup. So the last good backup I have is from 11/5. I am used that and so when it was finished, I had an actual "restored" streak. Two weeks old but better than starting from scratch.

Of course what this means it that when I get the OTA Froyo, the "dell backup" will not automatically restore all the things it says as easily as one might have hoped.
[Streak 5 General] Godo_PPL:
That is exactly my experience as well.

However, when going to froyo, that is all you can backup and successfully restore anyway..

But it sucks if you do a factory restore, as you must do most of the work manually.

Found the old 1.6 backup utility to be a little buggy, so normally take two consecutive backups to make sure one is not corrupt.

Hopefully I don't have to find out the hard way how the nero backups work :s

[Epic 4G General] saintirish:
I just upgraded to the Epic last week coming from the Hero. I quickly found that any music app I have tried on the Epic will lose its spot if I reboot (and sometimes even if I don't reboot). I listen to podcasts mostly, so it is important that it remember where it left off. Is there a way to get it to do this?? I did not have this problem on the Hero.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Try winamp. It seems to keel my spot all the time.
[Epic 4G General] saintirish:
Ok, I tried WinAmp and paused my podcast halfway thru and rebooted. It still did not remember my place. I noticed that the phone says it is scanning my card FOREVER every time I boot . . . until it finally says completed. Any other ideas?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Telemachus:
Using quickmenu, I have created a .lnk file to WMplayer.exe and as a parameter I can add a file "/MP3/TEST.MP3"

Then, when I assign the link to a hardware button, it automatically opens up WMPLAYER and starts playing TEST.mp3.

My question is, is there a way to add a wildcard to a link? if /windows/wmplayer "/mp3/*" to be able to play whatever file is in that folder without specifying the name of the file?

(I know the above doesn't work, as I have tried it.)

I would like the hardware button to play whatever is in that directory without having to change the link every time.

Thanks

Here's my personal workaround, you may find it unsatisfactory:

I just set the default notification tone to "silent". In each app that I want to hear from, I set a notification tone.

I get tones for things I want to hear about, but not for anything and everything that happens on the phone, including orientation changes.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
This thread was opened to consolidate the information/knowledge about themes for the x10 mini/mini pro. It is basically a reference thread with key bits of information and links so that a new user can find all the necessary information in one place. It should also help us avoid the old ‘where the hell was that image…?’ and ‘where was that … thread again?’.

Please PM me or post any useful information that is missing, especially the OPs of the threads in the Themes section below. I will continually update this thread with any new information or links.

At the moment this is a work in progress. I will fill it out in the days to come. And will keep it updated so long as I have my x10 mini pro (at least another 18 months according to t-mobile ).

All useful information that is posted here will be added to this first page, so that you don't have to wade through pages of posts to try and find something. Everything after the first page should therefore either be repeated on this page somewhere or is just conversation. Please yell at me should this not be the case

Please help me out by posting information, ideas etc.

Creating Themes for the x10:

1. Getting Started

2. Using ADB

3. Creating a Theme

4. Modifying XML files and adding resources

5. Modifying Services.jar

6. Recovery tips

7. Theme collection

8. Replace Framework with Root Explorer

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
Getting Started

Before getting started on a theme you'll need to set a few things up. Here's a list of everything you'll need:

• Root. Your phone will need to be rooted

• Java SDK (JDK). You'll need to install the JDK (and JRE) before you can start modifying the contents of your phone. Check out this video of Chewitts if you're having problems on x64 systems.

• ADB (from the Android SDK). You need ADB to push/pull files to and from your phone (see the next post)

The easiest way to make sure everything is set up properly is to install someone elses theme.

After you've done all that take a look at this.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
Using ADB

There's an ADB Guide here :

Before you start need to unsecure the shell. Use the following adb commands to do this if you haven't already (to reverse it do chmod 0755... ):

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh

This is all described in the links posted in the Getting Started section above

Thanks to MrRusch for making our lives easier with this tool. For those of you new to this, you should still read the guide linked above so that you know what is actually going on.

Here's a step by step for pulling the framework from your phone and pushing it back. The boot animation mod at the bottom is for 2.1 it is found in system/media/bootanimation.zip.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
Great post. Thank you!

Quick question: Unsecuring the shell, if the phone stucks at boot, will I be able to replace framework-res as long as adb recognizes the phone? No need to su?

I ask this because I recently re-flashed my phone because I couldn't replace the framework I made by the stock one, but adb was recognizing the phone, just didn't let me su...

Thanks again.

Regards
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
ya u r write u can replace the framework with su :)

Steps:

adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
Couldn't make this work.

My adb is still asking for su to root. Doesn't allow me to mount without root (su command after ad shell) even after chmod 4755.

This way if something goes wrong, I'll definitively will have to reflash... And that's... You know...

Any idea?

I would be much more comfortable to start playing around with this 'safety net' working...

Thanks again!

Regards

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
try this method....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
Sorry to bother...

D:\>adb shell
$ rootshell
rootshell
rootshell: permission denied
$ mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard
mount: Operation not permitted
$

Not sure I managed the 'rootshell' command well.

This is what I get.

My phone is rooted, obviously. I can do the 'su' with no problems.

I'm just trying to be safe before starting to mess around with framework...

Thanks you once again.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
if the adb thing is not working thn you can do 1 thing. download droid explorer from this site http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/50997 thn when you dont have access to your phone you can open droid explorer move your backup framework to your system framework framework-res.apk and you can also use this tool to do the further things...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
I have droid explorer and android commander installed.

I know for experience that none of them work if phone gets stuck.

No 'su', no root, no permission to mount, no permission to write...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shivenjuneja:
bro seus is the last option.... bt can u plz tell me where i wrote that we can do mofications without having su permissions in the thread??
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
No, you didn't. I'm not saying that.

What I was looking for was a way to replace framework-res.apk in case something goes wrong and phone gets stuck in 'Sony Ericsson' black screen before bootanimation. In that case, 'su' is not allowed.

That's what happened to me last time I played around with it. And in that case I were not able to put the good framework-res.apk back in place, so I had to re-flash.

Having shell unsecured, I believe I can avoid re-flashing even if something goes wrong. I think I finally got a way to have this safety through SuperOneClick although I'm not so sure it will work in a worst case scenario, once the 'shell root' gained is always temporary until next reboot...

As I told you before, none of the ways you posted here to get 'shell root' or 'shell unsecured' worked for me, that's only what I was looking for.

Thank you again for all your work and patience.

Best regards!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Passaralho:
Welll...

Playing aroud and I'm a small step to re.flash the phone.

I have my phone stuck in the 'Sony Ericsson' black screen.

Can't get root, rootshell, adb root or su after adb shell to work.

I need at least to change the permissions of my framework-res.apk file in /system/framework

Any idea on how to do this and avoid the re-flash?

Thanks

[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Hi All,

im running an nexus one (unlocked bootloader) with a custom recovery (amon ra). Recently i got the message that there is an OTA update available.

Even though i knew that custom recoveries don't support OTA i accepted to try out what happens.

The nexus one rebooted but there was no update installed (N1 stayed at FRG83).

After that, i downloaded the update manually and put it on my sd card as update.zip.

When i went to recovery i was surprised that the amon ra recovery was gone, i could only get into the stock recovery. via stock recovery i installed the FRG83D update which worked fine.

So did my first try to install the OTA wipe the custom recovery and revert it back to stock? Does this mean that i can directly install future OTA updates since i have stock recovery now?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Yes and yes.

There is no problem flashing OTAs through custom recovery if you turn off signature verification.
