Hey guys,

I recently purchased a micro hdmi to regular hdmi. I plugged it in my television and it recognized that it had made an hdmi connection but nothing was showing up on the tv.

I unplugged it and figured although it had over 30 5star reviews for a 3 dollar cable it must be garbage. I re-plug in my hd cable box and xbox 360 and now no hdmi inputs are working on the television.

I swapped the tv out with my brothers and replug the hd box and 360 and it still isn't working! :eek: I have no idea what the problem may be. Could I have somehow shorted the inputs on the 360 and hd box?

I did try and use a new cable on the swapped tv and still nothing! I am starting to worry that somehow my home entertainment system is now shot due to just plugging in my damn phone into my tv, but I have no idea how it would effect my brothers television.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
It could be a loose connection/cold solder joint. It may have just happened when you plugged that cable in. Do you have a warranty on the TV?
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
was the TV on when you did this?

[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Hello,

I want to make sure I understand what you are saying. You bought a USCC Mesmerize (i assume on line from someone) and you flashed your carrier's image to the USCC Mez?

If so, you will need your carriers PRI flashed onto the phone. The PRI contains the network information needed to create the DMU Key for data authentication. CDMA is different from GSM in that I could not take my CDMA phone with the USCC PRI and try to add the phone to say Verizon's network. The tools needed for this are very hard to find and the PRI is even harder to find. Your only hope (that I am aware of) is to see if your CDMA carrier would be willing to do this for you.

Good Luck

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denis_y_s:
Nexus S have a lot of storage for the apps plus it shares internal memory any way, so is there point to move apps to SD?

Does it make apps to run slower if they moved to SD?

Some of the apps installs to SD by default, should I move them back to phone?

Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
as a general rule, it's more beneficial to install apps that can run properly from SD to SD during installation

this saves internal memory space

it doesn't really affect performance

the original concept of App 2 SD was for the older phones that had very little internal storage memory
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I totally disagree with the general rule part.

I think it's pointless to bother moving something to the /sdcard on a Nexus S (Galaxy S, Vibrant, Captivate, etc) unless you're running out of internal ROM space for apps. Even with 130+ apps (many of them larger ones like co-pilot, 3D games, etc), I never have gone above 500mb used for apps on either my Galaxy S or Nexus S.

I won't say I can't imagine ever needing more than a gig, but it doesn't seem likely in the near future.

There's also a downside to using apps2sd when you're not out of space on the internal memory: you're giving up limited sdcard space for media storage like music and movies. Granted not much, but without an external sdcard, our Nexus S is even more limited in that regard. On my Galaxy S I had almost 28 gigs of stuff on the two cards (int and ext sdcard)...YMMV.

Everyone's usage patterns are different, so there's no right/wrong answer here.

Of course you can change the keyboard and modify it to your exact liking, this is why android is dope.

Hi. I am trying the ROMs one by one to decide which suites me best. I first tried Obsidian V4.2 and flashed Macnut R14 over it. So far so good. Then I tried to flash Nero V3 over Macnut R14 (all flashing was done with ROM Manager) but I got a exclamation mark several seconds after rebooting.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartassassin:
Odin back to stock is the way you should do it. Likely you are needing sig or mounting done. Which can be done in recovery, if you know how to do it. If you do not. refer to the prev suggestions.

Side-note-make sure you have permissions updated in Rom Manager and Dropbox in back-up to smooth your path.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funeralthirst:

to the op, did you change kernels or do a lagfix or voodoo?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhsz:
No. I did nothing special. I know that Macnut R14 comes with Super IO kernel while Nero V3 with stock kernel + voodoo. There is a voodoo folder under /sdcard however it is disabled with a disable-lagfix file.

I did once have voodoo enabled, but disabled it via CwM Recovery before flashing Obsidian 4.2.

I can't even flash Ginger Clone R2 over Macnut R14 (both with Super IO Kernel)!

Just ODINed JFD and everything went back to normal.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Just a quick thought - I was trying to figure out if I might get somewhat better filesystem performance out of ext4 rather than ext3 for the user data partition. As a first pass, I compiled a kernel with ext4 enabled, and tried to change my boot partition init.rc to mount /data as an ext4 partition rather than an ext3 - my understanding is they should be mount-compatible even without repartitioning.

The result of this was a bootloop. :( Had to reflash back to a working boot.img. Didn't do anything bad to my /data partition though.

Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there a way to grab dmesg from a boot looping kernel on Android?
[G Tablet General] jersacct:
I've found the following procedures to be helpful in debugging custom kernels.

First, remove the fbcon.c patch in the kernel source (you can just edit the one line that gets modified and uncomment it):

nano drivers/video/console/fbcon.c

Search for "navy", then uncomment the line:

update_screen(vc);

Rebuild your kernel. Now you'll have the ability to get a framebuffer console, if your kernel command line arguments are correct. You have to supply custom kernel command line arguments when using mk-boot-img. I use the following when using mk-boot-image:

mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initrd.gz --cmdline "mem=448M@0M nvmem=64M@448M vmalloc=192M video=tegrafb console=tty0,115200 fbcon=rotate:1 fbcon=font:VGA8x8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 cpuid=200102 devicetype=1002 btmac=9c5ed6131a00 tegraboot=nand mtdparts=tegra_nand:16384K@12032K(misc),16384K@62208K(recovery),16384K@79104K(boot),273536K@96000K(system),153728K@370048K(cache),4096K@7424K(bootbmp),32768K@28928K(logodata)" -o boot.img

The important part there is changing the console parameter from the default ttyS0 to tty0.

I make separate boot images when debugging - one that executes a shell in the initial ramdisk, and one that doesn't. To get a shell in the initrd, which you'll want to do in this case to figure out your mount issue, is change the above mkbootimg --cmdline parameter:

mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initrd.gz --cmdline "break=top mem=448M@0M nvmem=64M@448M vmalloc=192M video=tegrafb console=tty0,115200 fbcon=rotate:1 fbcon=font:VGA8x8 usbcore.old_scheme_first=1 cpuid=200102 devicetype=1002 btmac=9c5ed6131a00 tegraboot=nand mtdparts=tegra_nand:16384K@12032K(misc),16384K@62208K(recovery),16384K@79104K(boot),273536K@96000K(system),153728K@370048K(cache),4096K@7424K(bootbmp),32768K@28928K(logodata)" -o boot.img

Notice the "break=top". This will give you a command shell before anything in initrc has been executed. You could also use "break=bottom" or "break=init" to get you to different spots in initrc.

Hope that helps! Happy hacking!
[G Tablet General] jersacct:
Oh, and I forgot to mention that a usb keyboard is very handy after you get a shell :cool:
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Hey jersacct, so I've tried this (recompiled with your suggested patch, then made new boot image with the last set of params you mentioned) and I absolutely see the framebuffer scrolling by rapidly right after the Viewsonic Birds display. However, I never get the break into console - the FB scrolls by very quickly, then I get the GTabDevs boot image for about 2 seconds, then I boot loop again. :(

Any ideas? I have tried both the break=top and break=init variants of that mkbootimg command line with no success.

EDIT: I tried with a known-good ramdisk image too. The boot.img boots fine, but again I never get dropped to console.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Hmm, I suspected the issue might be that the default config has a pesky setting called CONFIG_CMDLINE="" that could be force-overriding any command line passed to the kernel from the boot image. Tried again with that line commented out, and still didn't have any luck getting the break= command to do anything.

I could probably try forcing the command line from CONFIG_CMDLINE but not sure why that would be different from passing it in mkbootimg...

EDIT: nope, I tried that too. Doesn't make a difference. So I assume it's receiving the CMDLINE just fine. For some reason break=top isn't giving me a console. I also tried it with my USB keyboard already plugged in to see if that was making a difference with the input devices, and still no console. :(
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Still no luck on the debug console. At my wit's end on that. All I can say is that on a regular boot with ext3 mounting my /data partition I see that the partition is dirty and the first mount attempt fails. Second attempt seems to succeed. Says I need to fsck my data partition - which I'd do, but our busybox doesn't seem to support fsck. :(

Anybody know where I can find a busybox binary that properly supports fsck for ext2/3 and also has mkfs.ext4? I know the Archos guys seem to have one and that's an ARM v9 device so it should work, but I'm having trouble finding it (I even downloaded the "SDE" firmware from the Archos site).

I think the reason the ext4 driver is probably just that it's dirty, though I can't confirm that without the damned debug console.

If I can get an up-to-date busybox on here, I suspect this will just start working magically, without further ado. Ideas are appreciated, either on busybox binaries or on getting the initramdisk console stuff that jersacct posted to work.

And it makes a HUUUUGE difference...
[G Tablet General] jersacct:
You know, I didn't think to mention that I was using the Karmic ramdisk image - I bet our stock ramdisk image doesn't have breakpoints setup in initrc. You can grab a copy of a stock initrd image here:

http://www.retardedrobot.com/karmic-initrd-orig.gz

Then just use it instead of the stock ramdisk image when using mkbootimg. Please note, I hardcoded mine to get root to work off the SD card. I think this is an unmodified initrd, so it may work straight out of the box (and boot android if allowed). You might have problems with it though, and may need to unpack it, edit some scripts (for mounting root, etc) and repackage it.

Hope that helps.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Yeah, I've seen the thread before.

I think I was just exhausted and bleary eyed earlier and completely frustrated.

Now that I'm a little more clear-headed, things are much easier.

I've snagged the busybox build out of the Archos initramfs. It indeed does all the ext4 stuff.
