[Desire General] elburna:
Concerning Facebook I totally understand his complain. Even with disabled notifications and "leaving" the app via backbutton it is listed as the highest battery-consumer (under*#*#4636#*#* --> battery usage while idle).

Since I didn't find a solution for that I uninstalled Facebook. But the other guys are right, as long as an app is programmed well, it does nothing in background and sleeps. No need to close apps or free RAM. Free RAM is always a sign of bad memory management in the OS ;) so keep it filled up as it will speed up your phone!

[Desire General] shankly1985:
Thanks facebook is high battery consumer, never used a task killer and I never will.
[Desire General] Tillus:
I have installed the facebook-app and it is no battery drainer for me.

Go to chat, then menu -> go offline.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
if the app is closed then it won't sync up itself will it? (or if it does it'll just restart itself again).

say you have facebook to sync each hour - I thought the hour was from open...

so open check news feed, back out of it (facebook still running), after running for an hour it will check again and notify you if you have notifications on...

The only thing that does seem to annoy me slightly is when I open improved email it seems to open a whole host of other apps at the same time, including soundhound, stocks, maps, and about 10 other things... no idea why as it doesn't need those apps opening at all

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
If you want myns market back, use root explorer or es file manager to disable market updater, located in system/app. Name it market updater.bak. that will disable it, and stop the market from updating itself. Then go to menu/settings/applications/manage applications. Then go to the 'all ' tab. Find the market. Click uninstall updates. Problem solved.

[EVO 4G General] ninjila:
So I had a stock Evo -> rooted via unrevoked, upgraded via OTA to 3.70, lost root. Re-rooted using unrevoked 3.31, CWM 2.6 installed perfectly fine. So far so good.

Before I foolishly upgraded via OTA, I had psfmod which is based on CWM 2.5.1.8. My question is

1. Can I flash psfmod (even do it's CWM 2.5, not 2.6)

2. I know it will cause problems, if I can flash psfmod, how?

I tried terminal emulator

$su

~# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

no success, I've tried to reflash using unrevoked, no success. What to do now?

Yes I have backed up everything;

Thanks in advance!

[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
I wouldn't go that route, but if you want to flash that image as recovery:

su
remount rw
find -iname "flash_image"

[will display the directory flash image is stored]

chmod 755 directory path to flash_image

[i found when I tried to flash, mine didn't have proper permissions, so use chmod]

[Galaxy S I9000 General] janepen:
I have heard that the uk orange 2.2 firmware is available through kies. I flashed the rom two months ago from orange 2.1 firmware to JPO firmware. Now i want to flash back to orange 2.2 firmware.

The strange thing is that I cannot upgrade through Kies even I flashed to JF1 firmware by Odin (upgrade buttom does not work). My production code: I9000HKDORA.

Then I use Odin to flash the new uk orange 2.2 firmware (I9000BVJP8), i can sucessfully flash but cannot enter the system. it stoped at the first image "I9000'.

Anyone can help me?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ancient geek:
I am a complete noob so this is probably wrong but cant you use reg hack ( on this forum somewhere) to spoof your phone firmware on kies?

Tried the orange 2.2 update and really didnt rate it, mainly because it didnt really improve anything from 2.1 so used the reg hack to unbrand and get jpy.

This I do like-give it a try :D.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bosslabs:
Hello all,

This might just be the noob-est question ever, but somebody please tell me what advantages does froyo have over eclair, and gingerbread will have over froyo..

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbbb:
Eclair = 2.1 = shipped with all Galaxy S Vibrants and other Android devices (most of them). Good base system, pretty average I guess.

Froyo = 2.2 = obvious improvements + enhancements + Adobe Flash Player 10.1 + a bunch more features not seen in 2.1.

Gingerbread = 2.3 = obvious improvements and code enhancements. Runs on EXT4 (faster, more stable, and more efficient than RFS - default on 2.1/2.2)

Obviously, each new version has supple code enhancements which improve user experience, and other robust features not seen in previous installments.

[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
i feel like an idiot after this but here it is. I tried replacing the android market with the new version. I placed the file, renamed Vending.apk, into system/apps. prior to that I removed the old market apk and placed it in another folder. needless to say the new version didn't work after a reboot, and I then tried reverting back with the old apk, and of course that doesn't work now either. so now I'm marketless

please don't tell me have to flash back to stock and reroot. it has to be a simple fix, right?

any help as always is appreciated
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
I used the non-themed one from this thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...05022-who-going-re-revisited-vending-apk.html

If I recall, I opened Astro and installed it with that app's installer. I think it even came up with an option to install, update or uninstall. If it wasn't Astro, it was Root Explorer as those are the only two apps I use to install apks.

Good luck.
[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
Thanks. I'm using root explorer, and installation fails. It goes through the installation process, but just fails at the end. So I still don't know exactly what the problem is.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Well, in the world of android phones, it seems that usually means there's a version of vending.apk somewhere on the phone that needs to be removed.

Also, take a long look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872621
[Nook Color General] 2alex:
Just copying the Vending.apk in /system/app is normally fine.

Did you check the file permissions of the new file?

Needs to be at least rw-r--r--

After reboot you should see the market in your apps.
[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
I checked permissions and all is set up correctly, and it is installed after all. However, when I open the market, it hangs for a moment and then closes.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I had the exact same thing happen a couple weeks ago... There may have been a solution, but I just did a Titanium backup, reset to factory settings, re-rooted, and restored Titanium. The whole process probably took less than what you've spent asking for a solution in this thread :p
[Nook Color General] Profondo_Rosso:
it'll probably take me a bit longer than you to go through the rooting process again, but I guess it'll give me a chance to update my Nc to 1.01.

I'll still give it time for someone to come up with an answer that doesn't require rerooting

Check it out.

Basically it seems that you can avoid it by only downloading from the market. Or directly from the dev.

Hope this doesnt pan out to be true.

Hey,

not that i'm working for the company or anything, but i was just wondering. Why doesn't anybody use LCD Density changer?

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/lcd-density-changer-application-v3-0-released/

It's a great piece of software to change the size of the fonts,widgets and icons on your screen. Setting the density to 180 and combining that with ADW Launcher (preferred)

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/

or Launcher Pro

http://www.launcherpro.com/

and setting the desktop collumns to 6 and the rows to 7 (and in ADW turn on the stretch feature) makes you put more widgets and Icons on your desktop.

Just wanted to share :)!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DTrainMusicVein:
Hello all, first off thanks for all the great posts on this site. I am not a noob to the android community as I own a Eris and a DInc, but I am new to the Android Tablet world. I recently bought a Velocity Micro Cruz eReader R103 at Best Buy for $99 + tax and I am thoroughly impressed except for one small issue.

I have updated to the modified machocruz rom, rooted with adb, and installed and set-up SetCPU profiles.

The problem I am having is that I cannot seem to get the microSD 4gb card to recognize or mount, I have searched high and low on many forums, but to no avail have I found anyone running into this issue. I have tried the micro SD card in multiple computers through card readers, I have tried different micro SD cards in the internal slot and various other techniques, but I cannot seem to get the internal micro sd card slot to recognize. Could someone please help me or point me in the right direction for fixing this problem? Or is this an internal hardware problem with the device and must I return the R103 to Best Buy for a new one???

Thanks in advance,

Basically my power button is gone (Flex and button) and the digitizer doesn't register any touches (However is brand new and shouldn't need replaced), which I believe is due to my messing around in the internals.

Does anyone know how much HTC would charge at the maximum? I don't want to pay to get it shipped off and returned if i'm going to be given a >£200 figure. My alternative is to spend around the same amount on a 'budget' phone but I love my Nexus and simply want it back in it's glory!
