Battery calibration is covered in a few different places on multiple threads.

muyoso is right - I do that 2-3 times to define the trough and crest (valley and peak) of battery life.

It isn't good for the battery health to drain it past the point it first shuts off (so don't turn it back on until its powered externally). It also isn't good for battery health to overcharge (er, "bump" charge it repeatedly to full).

So when you get to 100% (or when it tells you its "full" - may appear as 97 or 98 - just follow the pop-up) its ready to be unleashed.

Of course, I didn't define the battery management software for the phone so I don't know for sure. But this seems to be the common wisdom contained in the threads here. Good luck.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I have found that some kernels charge to 100 and then let it drain to 96% or so before recharging to 100%. They repeat this over and over until you unplug it, so when you unplug it, its the luck of the draw as to what percentage you are at. Some other kernels charge to 100 and keep it there until you unplug it.

There should be an article in the wiki, or at least a guide for the begginers. Lol at least I havn't bricked my phone yet.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
I've had this same problem even with Calibration. Sometimes I get 100, sometimes I dont. With the external dock charger, it never tells me less than 100 though on my extra batteries, but my phone is luck of draw like said before.. I've calibrated twice, and I dont have the patience to do it anymore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
I wasn't sure about the answer to this question, so I thought I'd just go to Q&A and ask. I searched and didn't find anything on this specifically. I'm a bit worried about using the latest RUU since the whole 2.02 HBoot thing (though I'm not sure if it would update older phones to that version). I was wondering if I'd be able to use the recovery to flash an early rooted rom and from there use an RUU and unroot it to that earlier version.

Sorry if that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I'm just wondering if I can trick the RUU into letting me install an old version. A botched unrooting left me with the 0.93 hboot instead of my usual .76 eng hboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #Winning#:
I don't think that this will work for ya, you need to downgrade your hboot. From my experiences by downgrading my hboot i was able to flash older ruu files.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
Oh well, I'll just flash the latest PC36IMG.ZIP. I found it on the 2.02 hboot thread. It doesn't really matter, I only need to unroot this thing long enough to have Sprint accept it. It's been rebooting so much lately that I can barely use it for longer than 30 minutes. This was my last resort after wiping repeatedly, changing SD cards and other things.

Is it possible to flash a vzw incredible to work on the sprint network if I have a sprint palm pre with sprint sim card?

thanks...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
The Palm Pre is a CDMA phone and is not a world phone, therefore it does not use a SIM card. Theoretically, it would be possible if you changed the IMEI on the Incredible to that of a Sprint smartphone, but realistically, no, it's not possible. Because they won't activate it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilityguy:
I just installed the FRG83D update on my Nexus One and rerooted using Rageagainstthecage. Everything's fine, except Clockworkmod recovery is replaced by the stock recovery every time I power down. I can get into Clockworkmod by installing it and booting directly to it, but it only works until I power cycle.

I read the thread about hot installing and permanently installing the recovery on the Evo. I assume there is a similar method for the Nexus, but I haven't been able to find any reference to it. Can someone point it out?

I'm trying to install 2.5.1.4, but the same thing happened with 2.5.1.0.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
I assume the documentation you used to install your recovery wasn't complete. You have to remove two files from the stock ROM or it automatically reinstalls the stock recovery. You might re-read the instructions, you probably skipped or overlooked that part.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilityguy:
I do know how to read documentation. Neither the documentation at Cyanogenmod nor at xda-developers mention deleting files to make the recovery installation permanent. ROM Manager, which claims to automate the full process, also doesn't make that change. The Google search I did for "ClockworkMod install recovery permanent nexus" came up with nothing, and when I added either "delete" or "remove" to the search terms after reading your response, I got links to instructions for removing ClockworkMod and returning to stock recovery.

I vaguely remember having to delete some files when I rooted my G1 back in the spring, but not the first time I rooted the Nexus when I installed FRG83. I can't find any reference to that now.

If you could provide the names of the files to be removed, or (even better) a link to a thread that documents this part of the process, it would be helpful to me and anyone else who happens across this thread. Saying "I know the answer and you should have found it too" isn't particularly helpful.

If the answer to my question is obvious, I apologize in advance for being both obnoxious and dense. I spent an hour on the phone two nights ago with Verizon tech support on an unrelated issue, so I'm a little prickly at the moment about tech support people who start every call assuming the customer is an idiot.

Hi, first post so go easy on me if this has been asked before!

I'm basically having problems in recovery mode. When I try to do a Nandroid backup there is no option for it. When I select reinstall packages the status says failed to install update.zip or something along the lines of that. Same thing happens when I try to flash a rom. Anybody know whats going on?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Did you install cwm recovery using rom manager?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Did you flash the leaked froyo? If so you have 3e recovery, and clockwork recovery will not work. You will have to flash back to stock using odin. You can find it in the captivate development thread. Make sure you are flashing jh6. All of the custom roms have fixed this problem with the recovery not working with clock work

If you are not on the leaked froyo I have nothing

I'm almost sure he has to be on Froyo. 3e recovery requires signed .zips which is where he's having the issues with.

Ok, this is driving me crazy. I can't seem to correctly resize a wallpaper to have if fit the Streak. No matter how I resize it or crop it, I always choose the picture to set as wallpaper and then I get the cropping box. :mad: I'm following the steps in this post, and I can't believe I'm having issues with something that is normally so simple, but I can't for the life of me get past this. I don't get the option to drag the corners, only to enlarge the box which crops out half the picture and messes it all up. Anyone have any ideas? Am I missing something simple here?

[Streak 5 General] Keethos:
The post on the site your refering to was for 1.6 and with the native UI (dells own thing) where you could have images that are 800x444 (or of that aspect ratio) as this screen would remain in portrait mode hence a wide image. However, ADW and other launchers (like Launcher Pro) won't accept images that are of this aspect radio, instead you have to use images that are 960x800 (or of that aspect ratio) as this caters for when the phone is in both landscape and portrait mode, hence the fixed square-ish crop box. Check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846339 on my last 2 posts for a bit more info on this.

As for finding a solution to change the aspect of the crop box....no idea.

[Windows Phone 7 General] stas92:
I just got my self a samsung windows phone 7 and was looking around for a few hours. my question is, Is there a file browser(file explorer) built into WP7. I just cant imagine Microsoft settling with Iphone like interface where you need to sync music a photos and what not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
Simple answer is no and you won't be seeing one from Microsoft any time soon if at all. You can find plenty of threads on this topic if you take the time to search for them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stas92:
thank you. yea i would searched but didnt really have time to spare :\
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I moved from an HD2 to an HD7 a week ago and thus far I haven't missed having a file browser. In fact I had completely forgotten about it until now.

....

Nope, I still don't miss it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
It's probably because you don't do things which require that massively.

Like me - I never watch movies on my device so I did never care about missing codecs support.

But that doesn't mean they're not needed.

And BTW, regarding users etc.

The most successfull platform today supports all those missing things

yet it didn't prevent it from boasting a massive success on the market.

I'm probably going to try it this year, there are announcements of upcoming devices in Poland

unfortunately no qwerty ones (HD7,Trophy and this great LG)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
maybe we don't miss it because we are not trying to use our devices as usb sticks (of which most people have several laying around).

The OS was designed that if something is stored on the phone, the proper apps can find them.

I too have not missed having a file explorer. The only reason I ever used it was to install cabs/ tweaks/ mods which are unnecessary on this device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So I say still - you don't do things which require that. Fine for you.

Composing email with many different attachements is the simple example here, without success on WP7 right now.

Deleting unwanted files on the device en masse is the second.

Currently you cannot even put all the desired files easily on the device with one simple move

Like docs, videos, pics alltogether. Videos are compressed for instance AFAIK before beeing stored.

Zune does not support docs. All is complicated than.

Device's ability to recognize files by an app is not blocking seeing the file structure.

My SE X2 can do it like WP7, but with all the file explorer capabilities.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Never needed to do that yet, but I'm sure the ability to do so will come via an update before I need it. It was very, very rare for me to need to do that when I used WM too.

Funny, I just deleted a folder full of photos from my HD7 by tap-holding the folder and pressing "delete".

Docs sync to Skydrive automatically if you use Windows Live Mesh like I do. Videos, Pics and Music all sync over wireless to the phone via Zune. How hard is that? Drag 'n' drop.

Erm...have you actually USED WP7?

Yep, so are photos and music, all squeezed down to fit the phone's screen and memory. You don't HAVE to let Zune squeeze them, but it's an option I use extensively. No need for a 10Megapixel image on a 480x800 screen. No need for my mp3s to be more than 128Kbps either when using a bluetooth headset.

No the docs sync via Windows Live Mesh. Sheesh. It's all automated.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] jorge_moran_jams:
Since they made the application a final release today I started playing with it... overall it works great but the only thing that kinda bothers me is the fact that I presume since not all of the phones out there have /sdcard and /sdcard/external_sd it just puts the songs in a folder called /sdcard/music.

But since I flash my phone with every single new ROM there is out there, I prefer storing my music in my external sd card so I was thinking maybe a workaround for this would be to create a symlink inside my sdcard that would redirect it to /sdcard/external_sd/music.

I'm not very experienced with this and of course the best solution would be if Winamp would create a parameter to set the destination of the songs but since I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon. What do you guys think about my idea?

Edit: I tried creating the symlink via adb but I'm not able to because of file permissions :( any other ideas...

I tried executing this command

ln -s /sdcard/external_sd/Music /sdcard/music

You can do a TiBU backup of just that app w/data. Then you update your application. Then do a restore with just the "data only" option.

[G Tablet General] verpissdich:
I've installed tntlite 2.04 and everything is working smooth. Did the market hack using titanium backup and am able to most applications, including the big ones like Pandora, angry birds, mint, etc. that were missing before so I know the hack was successful. That being said, I am still not able to find specific applications and am not sure why. Specifically I am looking for bluetooth gps. I can find a damn license file in my search, but nothing else turns up. I've gone about this multiple ways with same results.

So my questions is whether anybody else is able to see bluetooth gps applications and if so, what in the hell am I doing wrong? If not, does anybody have a link for the apk. The application is now free from what I can tell, just need to get the apk to attempt to sideload.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
The Gtab build.prop uses "test-keys" instead of "release-keys", most likely because it's not an officially supported Android device.

Some apps will not show up for test-key systems, only for release-keys.

These type apps you need to side-load or find on the developers website or such.
[G Tablet General] verpissdich:
I had stumbled upon that somewhere else and was wondering if that was the case. Thanks for the clarification. So, without official google backing you are stuck with test key systems without full access to marketplace... total bummer!

I flashed a custom rom - axura

unfortunately, the OCLF didn't work so I decided to install voodoo

What a mistake! it's like herpes, one can not uninstall it , it can only be disabled (I think)?

I made a ROM manager backup , before I installed the voodoo.

I found an app in the market that disables the voodoo , it's called "voodoo toggle reboot button" it automatically disables voodoo.

I am not sure if it did it's job. I checked in the voodoo folder , and I saw the folder "disable_lagfix" , isn't it suppose to be "disable voodoo" folder

Does that indicate I can now restore it to my backup before I installed the voodoo?

I've never had a problem returning anything at Sears except once. I bought a floor model once and returned it to store pick-up area. Then went to cashier to get refund. Cashier wanted to charge a restocking fee. I said no. Cashier calls down to pick-up they say it requires a restock fee. I tell them it's a floor model and what's to restock just set it back on the floor. They say only manager can over rule pick-up receiver. I ask for manager. They call manager who tells them by phone to not charge restock fee.

Read policy below and notice the "MAY, BUT NEED NOT BE" in the policy. The restocking fee only applies if they determine the item was "used". If everything is in perfect condition including the box and manual etc., no restocking free would be charged. This means everything in the box including enclosed coupons if any, English manual, Spanish manual, ever single thing. Box needs to look new so open it and everything carefully. Put everything back together perfectly. Should look new and ready to resell. If anything is missing they will only exchange it for the same or like item. Be nice during return, even if you need the manager.

From Sears website as of today 11/30/10

Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back

Restocking/Cancellation Fee Policy (Not applicable in HI)

A 15% restocking fee is charged on Home Electronics returned without the original box, used, and without all of the original product packaging and accessories; Mattresses, built in Home Appliances, and special orders on Hardware, Sporting Goods, Lawn & Garden, and Automotive merchandise. Home Electronics returned in opened boxes may, but need not be, determined to have been used. Special orders cancelled after 24 hours of purchase are subject to a 15% order cancellation fee.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
My receipt on the 27th had wording about the return policy and the 15% restocking fee. I returned my gtab for another on, and never paid the restocking fee. It was clearly opened, and the returned item marked for clearance. So yes they may have this policy, doesn't mean they enforce it, maybe because I wasn't returning but exchanging....i'm not going to complain. Just wish I could have gone back and gotten the item on clearance knowing now how to unbrick these things. Live n learn, someone hopefully got a great deal.

I want to reinstall the Zenexp Rom because it was a very nice Rom but I'm so used to having apps2sd for all my apps. The rom says that if I want to enable it I need to do the following:

" If you plan to use A2SD, you need to create the appropriate partition on your SD card. I recommend: Swap: 0MB, EXT2: 512 or 1024MB. Once you've partitioned, it is highly recommended that you convert your EXT2 partition to EXT3 in Recovery"

I don't know what this means. I managed to save my SD on my computer, luckily I did because I wiped out my whole SD on my phone and had no rom to reboot it to.
