[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coonhound:
is there anyway to enable usb debugging within the cyanogenmod?

I had to turn in off for the USB storage to work/connect, and now I don't see an option within the cyanogenmod that lets me turn it back on.

thanks. :eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Settings .... applications ... development .... should be there.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coonhound:
yo, thanks. That was a pretty easy.

Is it normal to have to turn of debugging in order to connect the phone as usb storage?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
No problem, honestly I always have USB debugging checked by default and can't recall any issues. Sorry. Did you just start noticing it? Tried a reboot see if it works again? Can't say I've heard anything about leaving it checked. But I could have easily missed a post or two on it. Possible mount issue or maybe that doesn't apply here .. that first post is all I really have to offer ... sorry.

Prob with new RA update. I had a problem with my update of RA when restoring a Nand backup from previous RA. It just ran for about ten minutes without completion and had to pull the battery and thankfully I have a pc36img of clockwork 2.5. I had to load that through bootloader and load an old clockwork backup to get my phone working again. Thank god for Titanium Backup. It restored my apps and data.

Anyone know what the deal is with the dots filling up the page during the restore. Has anyone made a backup with the update and proved it to be working?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leenypost:
I saw quite a few people with your issue but also many that had it working fine. Did you update to 2.1 or 2.2? seems to be less of what you experienced with 2.2 thus far.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
I updated from 1.8 to 2.1 and all of my nand backups work. They take eternity, but they do work.

Maybe you pulled the battery too soon? I've literally done a recovery and went to the gas station to get smokes and gotten back without it being done yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illogos:
How big is the backup? Use some file manager app to pull up the details on the backups folder inside nandroid folder.

2.1.1 - Estimate 5 minutes per 100MB. It's slow. 2.2 beta is a little faster, but still slow. Restores are taking approximately 50% longer than backups it seems. I think it has to do with the fact that it uses a new kernel. The same kernel used in clockwork 2.6 and 3, which is also slow.

You could always revert to RA 1.8 though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Long story short:

Amon_RA 2.x uses a new kernel which is a bit slower.

2.1.1 has the minimum CPU speed set kind of low, so it doesn't speed up all the time.

2.2 has the minimum and maximum CPU speed at the same (not sure what the actual frequency is) but it's a bit faster than 2.1.1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squick:
How do I get 2.2. Rom manager is only saying 2.1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Look in the AR Recovery thread, or you can pull it from here:

http://goo-inside.me/amon_ra/supersonic/

Note that 2.2 is in beta.
[Defy General] runeblade:
No Stranger to Android. However it is usually on a rooted phone. Now here my scenario. We are looking at issuing Defy's to our inspectors, however we would like to remove the bloatware apps such as Blockbuster, etc. So my question is whether or not there is a way to remove the apps without rooting the phones. I truthfully don't even care if its a paid app we need to do. Thanks!
[Defy General] lhmngwy:
You can't remove the bloatware without rooting but you could always root the phone using z4root, remove the bloatware and set things up how you like, install the custom recovery, create a backup of the rom then flash it to each of the phones and unroot them.
[Defy General] runeblade:
Yeah.....I was afraid of that. I figured that was the easiest way, but trying to explain that to the director is not going to be fun. :( At that point I might as well convince him to let me put Froyo or Gingerbread on it. hehe
[Defy General] Perilla_:
z4root has a "temporary root" button, and when you reboot root is lost. Unninstall z4root and nothing happened :D
[Defy General] imsuneaik:
Sorry threadstarter for hijacking ur thread, but can you temporary root and remove all those unwanted applications and unroot it ? Is it possible ?
[Defy General] Perilla_:
Yes, two options with z4root:

Temporary root: Install program, hit temporary root, remove all the baaaad stuff, reboot, uninstall z4root.

Permanent root: Install program, hit permanent root, remove all the ****, hit un-root, uninstall z4root.

Someone can say me if I am wrong?
[Defy General] JamesDax:
Ok so I have z4Root installed and have rooted. Now how do I go about uninstalling apps I don't want. I looked under "Manage Applications" but all I see there are appps that I've installed.

Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out.

Edit: Nope still confused. Cant seem to find the "uninstall" button.
[Defy General] Perilla_:
To remove unwanted stuff, the easy way is using rootexplorer, renaming the extension app from apk to bak for example. System apps are in /system/app.

You can too use adb, but it requires more knowledge.
[Defy General] runeblade:
As another follow up question on this. Is it possible to lock the phone down so that they cannot install any other apps on the phone? I know we could prolly lock the market, but we want it open just in case. Sorry.... never really explored using Android in a corporate enviroment and trying to enforce all the rules that you have under Blackberry and WinMo. Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mastore:
Since i flashed my galaxy s with 2.2.1 rom jpy (XEU product code) from kies i have a problem with my battery: when the battery is full charged at 100% and i disconnect the phone from ac adapter the battery go immediately at 98% or 99%, is there a way to fix this problem? I've just tried to discharge, recharge and wipe battery status with sgs tools but nothing happened...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bohdans:
There are already multiple threads about this. Please search first next time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mastore:
I've searched , but i found nothing, could u help me please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bohdans:
Of course. I can not link from my mobile. But there is a thread in this forum called YABD that has heaps of info.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mastore:
Thank u! I've read almost all posts, but my problem isn't a drain battery problem, my battery discharge normally. The problem is : when i unplug the charger when the phone is fully charged, the battery passes from 100 to 98 or 99% instantly!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
It's only 2 percent!!

I don't know why people are so sensitive about this issue.

It's a minor bug which hopefully will disappear in next firmware.

Until then just relax and enjoy latest firmware.

At least you don't have battery drain problem :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bohdans:
Ya from my reading it seems to be agreed that it us a bug in jpy firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
it is not a bug at least with me.. the phone remembers off all batteries the hightest mv it obtained and unless you reset battery settings that becomes 100%. when plugged in and charging the battery most likely obtains that but then if it can hold a full charge any longer (ie wear) will drop to its max charge instantly once unplugged. I have 4 diff batteries .. one goes to 96 when unplugged , one to 98 ,, etc. etc. but my best one does stay at 100 when unplugged.. hope this helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sonci:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ManMOuntain:
Another bug is the battery usage indicator. The battery icon does not always reflect the amount of charge that is available. For example it may be 50% used but icon shows 75% available.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mastore:
And how can i reset battery settings?

However my phone discharge 1% per hour in 3g and in standby mode, is it normal ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oo.viper.oo:
My understanding is that discharge curve is not linear and at 50% usable voltage you still have more than 50% life ahead...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] renton82:
Hello to all! I have the same problem here! Is there any fix for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:

Battery Drain Fix

think it was deleting the battery stats but not sure .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mastore:
I've read this post but it isn't my problem. My broblem is the battery go straight to 97 98 or 99% after i unplug the charger and the battery don't stay at 100% ever for 1 second. Are there any solutions?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
this is normal for 2.2.. it is now detecting the mv in the battery and if it drops immediately this is due to battery wear.. i have 4 batterys they all drop different amounts but one does stay at 100% when unplugged. At some point your battery did stay higher thus the max setting.. i believe if you clear battery history in the recovery screen you will reset this behavior.

but i wouldnt worry about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mastore:
But not always it drops to 98, sometimes to 97 or 99, but if i continue to plug the charger many other time and all the times i wait it tells me 100% from 97 the charge stay to 98, then 99 and sometimes maybe 100%.

However i haven't "battery clean history" option in recovery mode, i can wipe the battery status by shell command or by script in the sgs tools, is the same things?I've just try these methods by don't seem to work...

How can i do otherwise?

I hate this bug it makes me really angry!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] renton82:
Same thing for me!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] puiradu2009:
I have the same problem. Still I managed to solve it after deleting few times the battery stats and after few charging cycles. Funny thing is that I have to reinstall my firmware and now the problem is back.

So, try to delete battery stats when the phone shows 100% and when is allmost discharged (under 5%) and give him some charging cycles.

I noticed that when the screen locks it keep saying (searching) in the top right corner, instead the provider. Any body know how to resolve this issue?

I'm using the phone with another provider

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draikz:
I noticed this with my phone, is that it happens when I'm in a place with really weak service. Even though I have bars, it still says searching. So it may just be your signal strength. :) Don't worry about it too much.

Mine was always like that, I fixed the problem by flashing the modem with the JK6. Now my bars are almost all the time at full strength and battery life got better.

So I thought this was supposed to be part of the Barcode Scanner app, but going through my contacts I don't see the option of sending a contact via QR Code, only as a vCard via SMS, MMS, Bluetooth, or Mail.

I even tried going through the app itself to send contacts, but it detects no contacts. I've uninstalled / reinstalled and it was not fixed.

Help please!

I have the MT4G with the latest Ice Glacier ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
Same here on the stock rom. There's a short thread about this on the tmobile community forum, it sounds like the reinvent-the-wheel sense contacts is to blame.
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
Looks like I have no luck with HTC devices....this is my second MT4G and I have it for two months....not that I just recently realized that I have the bad screen, but now I have dust under the screen (happenend just recently I guess) and the bezel started to squeak between the volume button and the 3 connector pins. At three spots the metal bezel's paint chipped off and t-mobile will probably tell me that it is tear and wear. I will try tomorrow my luck to exchange it.
[myTouch 4G General] mgymnop:
I contacted T-mobile and this time I had a great agent and he was willing to initiate an exchange for my phone. I refered him to the t-mobile forum about the dust problem and he helped me through the exchange process. Keep my fingers crossed that this phone has a good screen, no creaking bezel and no dust issue.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
Well, I don't think I had seen any yet but I might be the first device/battery failure as a result of using one of the new superior charging kernels.

I have been using the Netarchy 4.2.2 beta kernal (aggressive with havs) I believe and everything has been fine for the past week or so.

This afternoon I plugged my phone into USB and laid down for a nap. I woke up not long ago and my phone is completely dead now. It will not power on or indicate that it is plugged in or anything. I don't have another battery to test, but could it just be a battery failure? Or is it possible the whole device is hosed?
[EVO 4G General] animal7296:
Anything is possible. Chances are that it was not the kernel though. Try a different charger and maybe a different battery. If all else fails take it in for repair.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
How full was your battery before you plugged it in? You could try pulling the battery and waiting an hour or so before putting it back in and powering on.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
I was down to about 30% when I plugged it in so it was getting a full charge. I remember getting a phone call during my nap that I ignored. When I finally got up the device was completely dark. I've got it unplugged and the battery out for now. Hopefully it will power back up in an hour or so....

If not I will have to try a buddy's battery in here tomorrow to see if that does anything. If not I'm simply out the device, there is no "taking it in for repair for me" unfortunately.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
I hope it powers back up for you. If not, it would be good to try your friends battery so you could start trouble shooting.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Was this the original stock battery?

[EVO 4G General] chibi_victor:
Try a different cable. A little while back I thought my phone borked on me as it would not charge even though the charge light was on. When my wife's did the same thing I got suspicous and tried a different cable. Like magic, the problem went away.
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I don't think the phone is hosed, might be just the battery, I had that exact situation happen to me back in december, when plugged in theres not even a light. I tried drastic measures to get it working even heating the battery to 120f for 5 min then letting it cool for 10 over and over, it finally worked when I got to a sprint store and they plugged it in to one of their wall chargers, I was shocked after hours of doing things with no results. to this day im still using the same battery and it has the same life as when new

still using sbc kernels too
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
been running SBC and have had no negative effects
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
Original red oem battery. I've tried my usb cable and my 2 wall chargers so far. Still no lights.

I did see the screen blip on for a fraction of a second a moment ago while pressing at the the power button, so that gives me glimmer of hope. About to see what happens with a car charger on the way over to my friend's to try another battery.

Wish me luck!
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
The fact that you where using the SBC can mean absolutely nothing. I have a friend with an Evo as well, I flashed every experimental kernel and Rom I can find and have had no real issue, hardware wise. Him, on the other had, had only updated via the Sprint OTA, never flashed any custom roms or kernels, never even Rooted.

one night while texting a reply to me, his phone flat out died. it was plugged in and everything, just went black and charge light went out. I put my battery in his phone the next day, swapped SD cards, etc,etc. nothing brought it back to life, it was gone.

Sprint actually replaced it for him, just tell them that you where simply charging it and it wouldn't turn on the next day. they won't be able to get it to boot up because it's dead.. no idea why his did it, I kindof feel that is what happened with yours. I don't think the kernel had anything to do with it.
[EVO 4G General] deathsled:
Well it's been confirmed to be the battery by trying another one.

Today is the first time I've ever let the phone do an extended charge over USB using one of these sbc kernels and the battery just happens to take a **** during the process? That's one killer coincidence...
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
try the battery again tomorrow out after sitting for a bit, it will charge and work again
[EVO 4G General] EndlessDissent:
This happened to me when I was using a Zendroid kernel a couple weeks ago. You should be able to just plug your phone back in and charge it again. The orange light may blink at first or not turn on for a couple minutes, but it should charge.

I'm honestly not entirely sure, though. I put my dead battery in my sister's Evo, and the light thing is what happened to me. I let it charge in my sister's phone, and it turned out fine. Worked in the morning. Hopefully, you can do it in your own phone if you don't have another way to charge it.
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
4.2.2 should not have SBC.
[EVO 4G General] CCallahan:
It would not be surprising to hear that a stock battery just quits working. Sprint replaces these for peeps all the time. Li-Poly batteries are cheap to produce and like anything else, there are always bad ones in the bunch.

Seriously doubt it was caused by whatever is loaded on the phone otherwise there would be more coming up with same issue. Unless there is something with the beta and USB charging method. Still doesn't sound very likely.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
What does your Battery Monitor Widget log say?
[EVO 4G General] LudoGris:
That is a killer coincidence...but I do believe it is just a coincidence. I am at CES right now (well prep meetings and such) and the only way I charge when I travel is through USB. I have been using the 4.3 with SBC straight off of Net's thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=719763) and have had no issues. Good to see you have your phone back, but I am willing to bet it was a faulty battery, not the kernal.

Hope it doesn't turn you away from the SBC kernals, it is so much nicer to see it stay between 100% and 90% for hours on end instead of 10 minutes like before.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
It's the kernel from my experience mostly tied to sbc kernels. My phone did the exact thing. I mean exact. Pulled battery, used different cables etc. One thing I did not use was the OEM HTC charger. I have PCs around me all the time or the car charger. My phone died in my room where I have other wall mounted usb chargers. Didn't think anything of it. A few hours later phone died. It was 54% or so when I plugged it in. I came back to a dead phone. Nothing i tried initially worked. Sprint tech support same thing. I knew they couldn't resolve it. I have spare batteries but this OEM battery was too new. I wanted to know the problem so as to not repeat it. Sprint offered to replace my phone but I said let me get back on that. Since I knew the kernels were playing with voltage and that over or under voltage can mess with the phone. I plugged the OEM HTC wall adapter in and sure enough I had a orange blinking light. I waited for a few mins. Booted into recovery and installed a nandroid backup with sense. It booted great and guess what my battery percentage was? 55%. The battery did not die but the system shut down and it wanted the exact voltage from the HTC charger to kick start it. Since then for me personally I have stayed away from sbc kernels. It might work for some but not for me.
[EVO 4G General] Compusmurf:
Um, SBC and undervolting/HAVS aren't the same thing.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
After doing a little research I have come across several articles stating the Gingerbread launcher from Modoco can run alongside OR instead of Sense. This goes against everything Ive ever read regarding Sense and launcher replacements but again, I did read this on a few different Android blogs. So if its possible does anyone have instructions ??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiffany84:
I would say just install it. Then go to settings, manage apps, find sense and clear defaults. Then hit the home button and select the gb launcher as your default. Im actually running a gb rom so I haven't tested it but I would assume it would work just like launcher pro or adw.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
I know it will work as a replacement. The way the sites are explaining it though is that the launcher and Sense can co exist. I don't believe this is the case but I've come across it on at least 3 different blogs.
