[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] famewolf:
On a normal Desire build the extended battery would of course work out of the box but EB support has not been a priority for the developers...especially since most don't even have EB's.....in their defense they were busting tail to get nand working and then look at all the nice stuff the bootloaders and clockworks gives us so I am in NO WAY complaining.

The problem is...to add in office EB support they have to take an OLD eb driver and future port it to work with the new desire battery driver.....and no one has been in a rush to do that cause it's NOT a simple process...in the most recent hastarin kernels he had some up with some version that would support the EB but his kernel was PPP only and many of the nand ones are using RMNET again....so...for now you have to bide your time and wait for a cook who actually knows enough to do more then grab the latest GIT code and compile it. Someone like hastarin or cotulla who can actually apply the driver, make required changes and test it out....which means the cook also has to have an offical EB to test with...hastarin got one a while back from donations but I have not seen him posting in the nand forums.

Lastly....you can't just install magldr, play around with nand and then boot your old reliable SD Build from magldr...for whatever reason they will boot and then promptly freeze at the lock screen probably looking for driver support which is not there...so it's kinda an "all or nothing" thing once you decide to "go nand".

Apparently tytung release a kernel for extended battery check out his post...but I can't get it to work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nutmegy:
Hastarin's kernel DOES semi support EB... as in it actually lets you use the phone with the official EB...

only problem being it charges to 60% then goes fully charged... similarly it drop from fully charged to 60% in about 20 mins..

apart from that it works....

will do for now untill the EB issue is properly addressed... unless we have to wait for an "official EB from HTC for the Desire/HD/Nexus.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sves:
His kernel is hastarin's 8.6 re-built, it allows to use official EBs but kills the camera.

So it's close but not the solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] famewolf:
In comments made by hastarin in his sd thread I believe the desire DOES have an extended battery but it's NOT compatible with ours which is why a different driver is required....the normal battery was fine but the EB wasn't when they ported the desire battery driver over but since it gave better support for regular battery then the previously used one they went ahead and used it.

Tytung's Kernel (works for me (not too well), but I'd recommend using the normal battery): Kernel
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
Not entirely true, it charges full, it only "seems" to charge to 60% because the first reading is read as a stock battery, (it'll 'die' just as fast as a stock battery after fully charged) then all you do is pop the battery out of the phone for like 5 seconds, put it back in and boot up and then you have the remaining ~60%. It's annoying...but it does work.

But as someone stated, the Desire builds actually do (in a sense) support the EB all around, atleast the unofficial ones. It'd charge mine full then drain normal speed to 15% then stay at 15% for hours and hours until the actual EB was at 15%, then drain till dead and actually be dead.

I have an Unofficial 2400mAh EB and have never had a problem (they work with Non-EB Kernels just as well as EB Kernels), the only thing is only Desire builds let you drain the entire battery without reseating the battery.

---Official EBs are another story however, they actually do need an EB-Kernel due to drivers.

SOOOOOOO there are plenty of tutorials for the Front Facing Camera. Has anyone tried to put a flash on the rear facing camera? I REALLY want a flash. PLease help.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
The vibrant is basically just the I9000 (form factor wise anyways).

The mounting stuff was not taken out, just the camera itself, so our hack to get the FFC working is just to snap it in & install a new kernel that supports it.

The I9000 didn't have a flash, so it's not that easy for the vibrant. It doesn't have anything to mount it to or anywhere to plug it in at all.

So, if it's possible, it would probably be a significant hack to accomplish.

That is the kind of arrogance that makes me glad of the types that left. Yes theres a FAQ, and yes, there are a few that wont read it. Honestly, the FAQ (at least in the vibrant forum) is a frakin mile long! I can easily see how someone may miss it. Informative yes, but give people a break! Not to mention the breakup into 4 separate sub-forums ect ect, its easy for someone new or doesnt come often to not find their way around well.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draychi:
It's not a completely stupid or worthless question because I see it as do-able. I'm no dev...nor have I worked with the hardware on this phone, but I have thought about integrating a luminous LED as part of the flash. I think it could be as simple as finding th current that turns the camera lens on and integrating the LED power into it. Even if it doesn't 'Flash'...it's still a 'flash' equivalent lighting setting.

The FFC was do-able...I think someone can make a suitable flash for our camera.

Makes me want to work on it myself...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schwiz:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvibe88:
Don't be so quick to judge, I myself have wondered what if this phone had a flash. Honestly, it'd be friggin sweet! That goes without saying.

@Haxel: Awesome points, great attitude!

@p unit: I'm intrigued by your project, have you thought about somehow incorporating an LED flash into an extended battery back plate? More battery life, and maybe since the cover is bigger, you might have more room to work with on fitting a flash in.

good luck!

I thought it was a great question since the Fascinate has one. I don't see why having a moderator approve your question would be necessary, since none of the questions would ever get posted since they are questions that are usually way below their intelligence level. Let's be honest here, we as junior members look to developers, kangers and such for advice, guidance, and help. Having an attitude toward the people that look up to you for your knowledge, is pompous, arrogant, and simple minded. If you think there are too many questions, then don't read the posts (you should know what it's about by the title anyway). If you don't have anything to contribute other than a bad attitude, then don't respond and the rest of us will learn the hard way. You guys who don't want to read our questions weren't born with the knowledge you have, so don't assume that just because someone has a question, doesn't mean they haven't tried. Give some of us the benefit of the doubt. We don't all have our faces crushed into a computer screen all day you know........

[XPERIA X10 General] scoonydeus:
Hi,

A friend of mine will get his X10 soon so i tried to find a way to unlock his phone.

Here is the idea:

Basicaly there is a way to unlock the Samsung Galaxy S and i'm wondering if we can apply the same idea on the X10.

WARNING: DON'T TRY UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT (VERY DANGEROUS)

- Backup the /efs (just in case)

- copy the nv_data.bin in /sdcard

- transfer nv_data.bin to your computer

- edit the nv_data.bin with an hex editor

- go to the adress 0x181469

- change 0x01 to 0x00

0x01 mean locked

0x00 mean unlocked

- then remove nv_data.bin in efs and replace with the new one (don't forget the md5, chown and chmod)

----

Here are the commands once the nv_data.bin is done and back in /sdcard:

su
rm /efs/nv_data.bin
rm /efs/nv_data.bin.md5
cat /sdcard/nv_data.bin >> /efs/nv_data.bin
chmod 755 /efs/nv_data.bin
chown radio.radio /efs/nv_data.bin || chown 1001.1001 /efs/nv_data.bin
reboot

So it's just a thought cause Android is Android... the lock system should be the same on any devices (the unlock code change but the way it's stored in the OS shoudn't)

Just few tips to make sure you won't screw your phone:

- to backup properly use:

busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs

and

cat /dev/block/stl3 > /sdcard/efs_dev-block-stl3.img

Trust me you when you play with the /efs you MUST have backups (and better have 2 or 3...)

I almost forgot all credits goes to the guys who found this on the Galaxy S... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761045

I am kinda disappointed with AT&T. I have an Xperia X10a for over three months now on an eight years account and they still refuse to provide me the unlock code. Online sites like Unlocking.com cannot find the code in their database.

I will do my best to try this today and will report back soon.

If you have any issue you just have to put the original nv_data.bin in /efs...
[XPERIA X10 General] ellokomen:
I have read somewhere that the galaxy S phones are easy to unlock because the unlock is based on the same partition of the android system, in the same site they stated that the X10 unlock is based on the radio portion, not accesible from the android itself.

Just done a search with RootExplorer and couldn't even find the nv_data.bin. :confused: My phone is already unlocked but thought I could have seen 0x00 to confirm.

To be fair it was just an idea, but if we don't even have a nv_data.bin file then it's a flawed one.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lancez:
i have both SGS and X10a. i unlocked my SGS by this method a month ago and it worked like a charm. just because samsung wasn't aware that they have stored unlock code inside of that file. but it dose not work on newer SGS anymore.
[XPERIA X10 General] dom.el.rey:
AT&T will not just give you the unlock code unless you manage to talk to a dumb representative, you have to give them a legit reason for them to provide you the unlock code. If you have had the phone for three months or longer you can the reason I always use, that I'm going on vacation to Canada or Mexico or any other country for two weeks or so and need the unlock code to use a sim card from that country. I have never had this reason fail but in case it does I suggest calling back until you find a representative who will provide the unlock code for this reason

Your phone isn't bricked. Its in debug mode. Pull battery and do volume down + power to see if you can get into the bootloader, if you can you aren't bricked, load up an RUU and you should be good.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fretless:
Did you try a battery pull? Try that and then volume down and power.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradatz:
Yes if you have an SLCD this is your problem. When you downgrade to 2.1 you have no drivers for your screen. Pull the battery, hold down and then hit power. Set your phone down for 10 minutes or until hboot loads. Make sure that you have this PB31IMG.zip in the root of your sd and then upgrade it. It took a while for my hboot to load. So give it some time. If that doesn't work try booting with trackball and power.

This is the ruu EXE. I dont know quite whether it works for SLCD, but its a resource.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
If you recover by loading the PB31IMG in hboot, you'll need to also format your SD card to FAT32 if it isn't already. Might be a slight point of contention if you don't have a USB card reader or another device which can interface the card with a PC.

Might be easiest to run the RUU on a Windows computer. Link above looks perfect, it's the latest.

Download to PC, hook up phone via USB cable and lanuch the RUU program then follow instructs. I despise HTC Sync but in this case, might be easiest to go ahead and load it to your PC before you run the RUU. It'll allow the RUU to function properly (all this all assumes Windows). I'd delete HTC Sync when done if it were me. It can be problematic in other regards.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timinator94:
I am 99% sure that the phone dosent boot past hboot... so the above method wont work correct?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
The 2 ways to do it are:

1.) go into hboot and have the PB31IMG already on your SD card. Once in hboot, it should recognize the PB31IMG and you press volume up to load. However, as mentioned it'll likely fail if you have not formatted your card to FAT32 at some point.

2.) Forget about hboot. Pull your batt, replace it and start the phone even though you can't see what's up. You should feel it vibe and in reality it's working, you just can't see anything on the screen due to the lack of drivers as previously mentioned. So hook up phone to USB port on PC and with HTC Sync installed, launch the RUU you downloaded from 3 posts up. It runs on Windows and loads the software to the phone via the USB charging cable.
