doesnt seem to work for me on skyraider 3.3, i tried via roto explorer, rebotoed and nothing, tried with adbs and still nothing, all i see is the standard android spining circle thingy and then the sceren just shuts off...

i checked file permissions and theyre the same as the original shotdown.zip....

update: it works when i go to reboot the phone, and doesnt when i just power it off. i guess its by design...

didn't work for me im using desire z port all it did was turn black and turn off.. i used root explorer
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] setexascustoms:
Yeah, I'm not positive but I think that's the way it's was with the original shut down animation.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ethan.r.besbris:
to get it to work with shuting down, you have to copy both files.

No clue on the Nexus One. The phones have the same resolution so if it's possible, the images are sized correctly.

Tried in Virtuous. I found a shutdown file in /system/bin, deleted it and put in the shutdown.zip (renamed to just "shutdown").....didn't work. Basically got a 'shutdown loop' where it said it was shutting down, vibrated like it normally does before it shuts down, but never shut down.

Anyone else with tips on doing this with Virtuous?

any idea what to push for Redemption Rom? Neither of those files are found in /system/customize/resource/ only zip found is VZW_bootanimation.zip

What should I push?

I can confirm that with the Desire running the RCMixHD rom I push the files to /data/local and this works fine.

[Android Software Development] kaediil:
Ok, so I have been struggling for a couple days with this, and I hope someone can help me.

I want Android to always run my splash screen activity, because I load a bunch of data from web services that I need throughout the rest of the app. This works fine with the flag android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true" set when you launch the app from the home screen.

Where it does not work so well is the long press of the home button and then selecting the app. In that case it starts the app in whatever random spot the user left it last. The problem is that if the app has been killed due to memory, it still shows in that recent apps list and when a user restarts the activity from the long press, all my data is gone so the app force closes.

So, my ugly workaround is to remove the app from the recently run list. I would much rather it showed up there but that it started my app the same way as if it was clicked on the home screen.

Anybody know how to do this? The ebay app pretty much does this, so I know it can be done.

[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Instead of reading your data in OnCreate, you could do it in OnResume. See the flow chart here:

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html

as you can see, OnResume is always called whether the app is created initially, resumed from pause, or reloaded.
[Android Software Development] jgittins:
In the onResume for the activity that is crashing, you could test your data to see if it's still there, if it's null you can run the code to repopulate it again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZetaiZetsubou:
So I'm constantly walking into areas where I have no signal at my school. The result is an increased drain in my battery in these low signal areas.

This is a problem that I have noticed on all roms. Radios also seem to have little effect besides changing some current draw bound (ie -4 to -9).

I use radio 2.14.50.04.

when I have signal (guesstimates)

In standby idling between -2 to -6 ma

30% Brightness Screen idling, -100 to -150ma

however when I have no signal current draw increases to -80ma and higher and doesn't go down until I'm in an area with signal.

This would result in a standby time of only ~15 hours.

When compared to my standby time of -2 to -6.... at the least would provide a standby time of 205 hours.

Are other people getting the similar results under the same conditions?

I use tBattery to log my data.

Oh and I'm currently using Energy Sencity Rom with Cookie 2.0 Final (november 19) if anyone is interested.

My soft reset button is red

I have a TMOUS branded HD2

It just seems unreasonable that my phone should continue polling for signal for 2 hours and drain 20% of its battery during class...:mad:

Perhaps someone has a reg tweak for this?

post tBattery logs if you can and state conditions for changes in current draw.

edit:

perhaps its not clear what my question is from this post...

Is there a fix to substantially decrease battery drain when the HD2 has no signal (airplane mode doesn't count :p)

iPhone seems to have got it down....

Same happens here with TMobile US HD2. I disabled Sense and that helps with battery life, but I'm curious to find a solution. Tried wmlonglife and band switch, but wasn't happy with either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZetaiZetsubou:
tried that as well

I have also tried WMLonglife and CMBandSwitch as well, didn't really solve my issue...

wmlonglife helped a little, but it was still kinda unpredictable, sometimes it would work.... it doesn't actually solve the problem of signal searching....

also, I think this happens 90% of the time, not *all* the time... sometimes, after being in an area with low signal, my tbattery may show a reading of -7....

I'm not sure if the registry has a way to fix this....could be radio related.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZetaiZetsubou:
I get the most battery drain in a building when I have no signal.

Other than that, outside or in my house the power consumption is very good (2-7ma)

*i get 80-130ma consumption in buildings...

I wish there was a way to decrease the increased power the antenna was using as well as increase the length of the interval the hd2 uses to search for signal....

that way, the power consumption would be close to the same in buildings with low signal as compared to areas with excellent signal....

really would like to get this resolved without having to swap out batteries.... Only problem left for me. Many other phones when they don't have signal don't seem to be affected greatly with this *cough cough* iphone....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexterslab:
ive noticed this too. when there is no signal the battery drains much faster, also happens if its continually switching between a good 2g and poor 3g signal.

i often just disable the phone until move back to a good area

would be great to have a fix... even it just gives up trying to get a signal after a period of time

Edit: I decided to do photos manually, but there are other issues still listed.

3. I have added and removed Facebook from Sync a few times, and fooled around a bit in other ways, and now - if I am going to send or call someone and I type a few letters of their name, they appear on the list twice. They do not appear on the list twice in Contacts. What is that about?

4. I moved all the contacts from my SIM over to my phone. Wonderful, but I do not want half of them on my SIM anymore. Deleting them from my phone accomplishes nothing. How do I delete people from my SIM contacts using an Android?

5. Where are the thumbnails it creates with the photos saved? When I remove and add a new one, is the old thumbnail deleted? For space concerns.

6. When it comes to USB, it seems I cannot get my USB to connect without it being in Debug mode, and two windows open up when I connect it. Is that normal?

A bunch of questions I know, but hopefully I can get some answers. Thank you!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IzzyIsaac:
So I got an EVO when they first came out and rooted/rom'd it, but the charging port broke and they junked it out and gave me a new one

I guess i didn't think about it before i did it, but i am finding out that having the hboot2.02 and trying to root it the old way has messed me up. I now can not seem to connect to it through adb or get the RUU to find the phone.

I am in the white skateboard screen with the Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage, Simlock, and HBOOT usb options. If i try and reboot it, it goes to the RED EXCLAMATION POINT/Triangle.

I never got a custom recovery installed before i screwed this up somehow. The PC36IMG failed on the radio_v2 and didnt partition.

Can I load the stock or anything for that matter from where i am now?

I know this has prob been covered, but i have been on here for 3 hours now trying to get this going again. Thanks

Try this....

It's late and I have to catch up on some sleep before work so I will be brief.... Rooting Hboot 2.02 can cause a lot of headaches. I am surprised the RUU did not find your phone.

My only advice is to read up on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

It is by far the best and safest method to root your phone at this point and if you ask I bet someone can help there.

Check out the first post there is a special recovery file that might help.

Softbank MMS on X10 Eclair and Froyo

Lurker posting for first time from Japan... to mods: please edit or advise if needed

Must have some kind of data packet plan to use MMS, don't think prepaid works. I am using unlocked Docomo Xperia SO-1B (X10) with Jereplea and Zidzihu's factory rom with JIT on 2.1AOSP thread, Softbank network. Payment plans are Double White call plan and Packet-Houdai Flat data plan. There are 2 Jakemod mms.apks (Eclair and Froyo) links below.

For users with regular call and data plans, use adb or root explorer to push Jakemod11 mms.apk for Eclair into system/app folder. If your mms.apk has some other name like mms.apk.jakemod11, then rename to mms.apk first. For Root Explorer, you also need to choose and install that mms.apk from the system/app folder. Finally, go to settings in the new MMS message program installed and choose iphone 3.0 (others may work) as the Softbank User Agent.

Since I use a silver sim, my APN is opensoftbank.ne.jp (google for password etc) and just added 2 lines: MMSC: "h-t-t-p://mms/" (take out hyphens in http) and MMS PROXY: "sbmmsproxy.softbank.ne.jp"

NOTE: I had to use a desktop to download the files then put to SDcard... then I moved apk to system/app folder and installed using Root Explorer.

Eclair Jakemod11 MMS for Softbank:

github.com/downloads/JakeJP/android_packages_apps_Mms_SBM/Mms.apk.jakeMod11

Froyo Jakemod 5 MMS for Softbank:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paramita:
many thanks, tuner520!

I am using Xperia X8, and your suggestion worked also on X8 (Eclair):

1) update from 1.6 to 2.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825228 (russian)

2) rooting

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=906195

3) Jakemod11 MMS for Softbank (Eckair), above!

Nonetheless please let me add one more thing. Even with data traffic off, you can receive incoming mms messages, but sometimes miss them left in the server due to weak signal circumstances for example.

To avoid this you may be able to use

https://github.com/takuo/android_MmsReq/wiki (MMSReq),

which can be downloaded from the Market.

[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Hi all, has anyone managed to add a new RSS stream to the HTC's news widget? Or to be more specific receiving the news? When I add the stream url it has a red icon indicating that there are no news in the RSS stream. I apologize if the question has been asked before, but the search button seams to crash my XDA App :(
[Desire HD General] ccart:
I was having a bit of trouble doing this as well and when you search for RSS feeds sometimes it doesn't find the correct one, so the best method to sorting this out I found was:

Go to: http://www.google.com/reader and sign in (unless you already are).

From there in the top left-ish you'll see the 'Add a subscription' button, click that and paste the RSS feed and add it, then Sync you phone and the feed should appear on your phone as an available rss news feed.

May not be the most conventional way but I found its pretty quick and easy especially since trying to manually type in the url of a feed into the phone didn't seem to work either.
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
Didn't work. I tried clearing the data for the HTC News, because it wouldn't unsubscribe from all the feeds I tried to connect to and now the application, as well as the widget woun't even start (I think it can't find any feeds and it just closes)... I tried rebooting the phone but that didn't restore the preloaded feeds (where is that file system protection when you need it ;) ) I forgot to mention that my phone is not rooted, using stock WWE ROM with all the OTA updates applied.

[Captivate General] shawn122:

[Captivate General] alphadog00:
OK, it is a real vulnerability, but because you have to know the file name on the SD card, what is the exploit really stealing? Only if some application stores its files on SD, and names this super secret file the same for everyone. Also, if the file is in plain text, then it is not really super secret to start with.

Real vulnerability, but easily mitigated by encrypted sensitive data. If you lose your phone, you have the same problem - I don't think you can remote wipe an SD card, and the thief could pop it out before you do anyway.

So, no real worry IMO.
