[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dioxide:
I have had the Archos 70 250gb since Christmas now. A few days ago, I noticed an issue with my battery. I will be using my device as normal, with the power governor set to overdrive and the battery life indicator saying 60+ charge. A banner saying "device has no power, powering off" (or something very similar) pops up, the battery life indicator turns red, and the device powers itself off. When the device finishes powering down, I press the power button to turn it back on, and the device powers on with no issue, showing the 60+ battery charge.

This issue has happened twice now, and I was wondering if anyone else had similar issues? I have been contemplating do the SDE root for my device, but if this issue turns out to be a faulty battery, I don't want to be stuck with a battery dead device with a voided warranty.

Any help is appreciated.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timehunter:
Yes, I have the same issue with my 70IT 250GB. Haven't been able to figure out the specific trigger(s) that make it do as described though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HereIAm2:
Hi I just got my Samsung Captivate and have already rooted it. I want to add a ROM to it (Most likely Phoenix 2.2.1)

I was wondering, do I need Froyo 2.2 to use this ROM, or will the ROM install that for me? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm honestly confused by the whole thing :confused:

Thanks for your help :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
The rom gives you 2.2.1. Make sure you read, read, read

There are some sticky threads here, some with videos too, about how to flash a ROM and so on things. Go through them and they'll give u all the info u want.

Hello every one,

i know, there are a lot of flashlight apps out there. But none of them fitted my needs.

My requirement for a flashlight was, that i can switch the device to standby while i use it as a torch. But unfortunately if the device goes into standby it also disabled the led on the apps i tested.

So i scratched my own itch and wrote this little widget called MyBeam. It has no preferences pane and no activity screen. It's just a widget which you can put on your home screen and touch it if you need a flashlight. If you put your device into standby, then the led will shortly go off and then back on again. So you can use the led also when the device sleeping.

Maybe you find it as helpful as me ;)

You can find the GPL'ed source code on htt*://github.com/chris-tau/MyBeam

You don't need to have a rooted device. But i only tested it on the desire.

Attached you'll find some screens and the apk.

Greetings, -chris-

Nice app idea... very cool to have alterations. TBH, I was after this myself so thanks!

You haven't placed a beam_on in res/drawable-hdpi so it uses the icon.png for the widget on instead :p

I quickly modded your on/off icons and icon size for the widgets on my apk. I use Executive Assistant as the screen on my phone after the lockscreen. The widget fits on there nicely ->

[Desire Themes and Apps] christau:
I don't see it missing. It's in the repository.

But i just checked the apk and found out that the icon is named 'beam_onm.png'. Wonder how that came? I'll replace the apk with a fixed one.

Yeah, this icon looks promising. If it's done in svg i would be happy if you can share it.

Greetings, -chris-
[Desire Themes and Apps] fisha21:
Brilliant idea, this is the one drawback of all torch apps out there!

There is a beam_on icon in the apk, but it is mislabelled as "beam_onm"! However, I do like your icons - fancy sharing?!

EDIT: Hmm, took too long typing, you beat me to it Chris!
[Desire Themes and Apps] th3:
They're a 2 second hack job from Flashlight which I was modifying and testing around the time you posted this app (and a bad job :p). Others could do far better.

They're in PNG. I set them to display at 146/146 dip for myself. The two lights on rather than three was an intentional visual cue (as that's not the brightest).

[XPERIA X10 General] minjiet:
in a sudden my x10 cant detect my SD card, it show a messege saying that " damage SD card".

i cant access to the file in my card reader or my PC, but however, when i check it in MiniTool Partition Wizard, i can see my SD card contect.

how can i restore the card content so that i make a copy to my PC?
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Have you reformatted it and tried?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bialynia:
Windows 7 has a repair disk option that worked for me when I damaged my SD card during rooting.
[XPERIA X10 General] minjiet:
there's no point if i just formatted the disk, all my files inside will be gone.

i want those data to be kept.

ok, will get to it when i back home, now at office which uses vista.
[XPERIA X10 General] phodigy:
Just reboot the phone, it always work for me.
[XPERIA X10 General] rein_hiryu:
Unmount the sd card from settings, turn off your phone, take out the battery and sd card then put them all back, turn on. It works for me
[XPERIA X10 General] casanovacoconut:
Alternatively you can try a media card reader and copy all the data off it. It may or may not work depending how damaged it is. If it is damaged that is.

You should make sure the card is unmounted before you turn off USB connectivity. That can cause this.

It will try to repair it however, somtimes it is unsuccessful.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cebees:
Just take mine as the last option you can think.

Get some partition stuff, Acronis DiskDirector works well, I used a lot with damaged server harddisk.

Just DELETE it. (not wipe!)

and Recover it. If it was about master record fails which it's likely, it should be recovered in a few sec.

If it still not work, then grab some undelete, file recovery to recover your remaining stuff. I don't suggest it anyway though someone claim that it worked well, since those raw-based recovery only work with some general file. (doc,excel, blah blah)

I have been amazed as an avid TV buff at the simplicity of having a Sling Adapter providing me with all the latest shows I love through my Android. I looked into Xfinity through Comcast but it seems like there technology only goes as far as having a remote control away form home which kind of defeats my purpose. In order to utilize the awesome technology within the Sling Adapter I downloaded an app called Dish Remote Access and through being a DISH employee, I was able to get my Sling Adapter right away and was amazed! This is really cool guys, if you are away a lot, or just want some distraction this app is amazing! :D
[Droid 2 General] sangamc:
Just got my droid 2 global and like it so far except for battery life its a splendid device. I like to social network widget that shows facebook updates, but I don't want it to sync all my facebook contacts to my phone. Is it possible to disable this feature in the widget?
[Droid 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
In contacts/ settings you can disable showing facebook contacts :)
[Droid 2 General] sangamc:
Thats what i thought as well, but in my contacts, when i go to settings, all i see is my phone contacts, google and my corporate exchange account. No facebook. In the socia networking account settings twitter has the option to disable contact sync but not facebook :(
[Droid 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
I meant you go to contacts, press menu button and there is this option to 'fade in' or 'fade out'. You click on that and it will give you the option the fade out your facebook contacts. Im not sure whether its called fade in/out since Im coming from a german device.

Could you find it?
[Droid 2 General] sangamc:
Hide/Show is the setting!!

Thanks so much for helping me and not flaming :) even though the answer was simple, when switching from iphone 4 to droid some things require a different way of thinking or different approach that is not immediately obvious. So to me i was totally stumped but now i have it just the way i like
[Droid 2 General] spaceman4:
I don't see a hide/show setting on my droid 2. Is this because I'm on an original droid 2 and not the global? Id like the facebook contatcs to disappear, especially in the address field when I type a new text message.
[Droid 2 General] sangamc:
I went to the contacts icon on the bottom of my home screen. Then pressed the menu key and Hide/Show was one of the options. I wish i knew how to take a screen shot for you, but im still trying figreu that out myself.
[Droid 2 General] spaceman4:
I have "display group" in my contact settings where I can choose to see only google contacts. But the facebook contacts still show up in all contacts and in the contact field when I type out a new text message.
[Droid 2 General] sangamc:
what firware are you running on your droid 2?
[Droid 2 General] spaceman4:
2.2.30. Maybe there are some bigger software differences between droid 2 and d2 global
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNixon:
Would love to be able to mix my own rom based on Oxygen v2.0-RC6 but with these HTC Apps/UIs:

- Clock

- Contacts / Dailer / Logs

- Calendar

- Widgets

- E-Mail

- Camera

is this possible ? if so, could someone guide me in the right way to where i could obtain these apps ?

Would that make a stable rom ?

Cheers

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ghashul:
It's not possible, sadly.

The HTC apps need the Sense framework to work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNixon:
darn, their so much smoother then stock android... but the sense UI is too slow and demands more ram..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
This is brought up waaaay too many times. Sense is Sense. It can't be ripped apart sadly enough. I'd like a better widgetpicker (why isn't there one) and miss my clock in Launcher Pro.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I was reviewing the ubuntu thing I mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=908502

and I was TRYING to be careful, but I messed up.

What happened was I was looking at the "unionfs" file that came as part of that, and I mistakenly thought that it was an executable, so I figured I could get some help if I did "unionfs -?". It was originally in /sdcard/ubuntu, but I couldn't run it there, so I copied it to /data/local/bin, which is in PATH, then I did "unionfs".

I got some errors, which kind of indicated that it was some kind of script, so I looked at it:

busybox insmod unionfs
mount -t unionfs -o dirs=$mnt/etc=rw:/etc=ro unionfs /etc

mount -o remount,rw /
ln -s $mnt/lib /

for x in \
bin boot home media mnt \
opt selinux srv usr var
do
ln -s $mnt/$x /
done

rmdir /root
ln -s $mnt/root /
mount -o remount,ro /

mount -t unionfs -o dirs=$mnt/sbin=rw:/sbin=ro unionfs /sbin
mount -t unionfs -o dirs=$mnt/dev=rw:/dev=rw unionfs /dev
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts

I haven't gone in detail to figure out exactly what that did, but I think it might've rm'ed /root plus maybe /data, and I think that that really messed up my Gtab, because after that, I keep getting the process.acore FC popups :(!!

I found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886972

I have the TNT 3452 update.zip, so I copied that over to /sdcard, created the /recovery/command, and did a stock recovery, which seemed to go ok, BUT, even after that, it's still giving the same FCs on process.acore :(...

Like that thread, I can't get into Settings, and get the process.acore FC when I try, so I can't try to clear the Contacts data.

So, I figured I'd better stop at this point (yes, I know, I should have stopped way earlier :(), and get some advice about how to proceed.

My goal is to try to get back to stock 3452 again, obviously, without the FCs.

So... What to do at this point???

FYI, I have adb access, and I think that I have a working nvflash executable on one of laptops. Is there any way to fix this, i.e., maybe extract some stuff from somewhere and "adb push" it over to the Gtab?

Or, is a full nvflash the only way, and, if so, can you point me to exactly which thread, etc., so I don't mess this up anymore?

Thanks!

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
FYI, folks on the IRC helped me get things back.

I had to install CWM 0.8, repartition, then re-install CWM, then flash 3452. It's all back again now.

Later,

Hi

Just wondering if I buy a widget and I hard reset my phone or install a new ROM. How do I get this widget back?

Thanks in advance :P
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] nickhammond121:
It should still be in the market, as its linked to your Google account
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] jokies:
Some was connected with market, while some depends on your imei. Contact technical support before you do that.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
If you're going to install a custom ROM then you obviously have root, in which case you cant download Titanium Backup from the Market. This lets you backup all apps to SD Card and then you can restore them whenever you want (ie after flashing a new ROM).

But yeah, if you've paid for an item from the Market then when you go into "My Apps" it will be listed there for you to re-install for free.

I have searched for hours and give up finding a workingsolution to the problem.

Long story short - Installed the latest OTA update manually by bypassing signature verfication on a rooted Froyo phone (still not entire sure how I did this, but I'll get back to this later).

The phone currently does boot loops repeatably. I can enter Hboot and menus Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage and SIMlock.

Phone info:

Bravo PVT1 ship s-on

Hboot 0.93.0001

Microp 031d

Touch panel-synt0101

radio-5.11.05.27

Rooted with unrevoked 3 (I think)...

I installed Andriod SDK and ADT plugin for Eclipse on my WinXP PC.

USB Connectivity

My USB connectivity have three running USB scenarios

1. Then boot looping the HDD Icon show up momentarily but am unable to access it. In control panel the HDD works fine. I assume the SD Card is dismounted.

2. In Hboot mode, only Unrevoked USB drivers would install for then connecting the phone with a USB cable to the computer.

3. In Fastboot mode, only Google USB drivers (from the SDK) worked.

Though, there should be connectivity then applying the "ADB shell" command it detects no device in either boot mode. Either does the RUU Toolkit or Unrevoke 3.21.

Signature verification failed

I have a micro SD adoptor, so I have tried various ROMs and run recovery mode attempting to flash the phone. Depending on which ROMs the signature verifications make different progress (0-20 %).

What is funny, is that what allowed me to install the OTA in the first place was toggle the verification off. But, I have no idea how I did this. I do not have an alternative recovery manager installed. Though, it seems something from deleted from the update due to the install being an OTA. And that there might have been an alternative recovery mode.

I have been unable to "recovery-windows.bat" trick as no USB connectivity!

The latest PB99IMG file is currupt as that would be my last attempt. If anyone have this working please send it my way. Also, I have downloaded a 168 MB version of this file but I do not know what to do with it!?

I hope someone finds this a challenge and can help out! I have almost given up...

Cheers
[Desire General] mikep99:
Do a search on here for how to apply the PB99IMG.

It is quite a common request and there are lots of posts telling you how to do it :)
[Desire General] pedeb:
Thanks for the heads up. I know this is a quite common post hence my frustration with nothing working.

I emphasized that the PB99IMG from the server is corrupt (10x download attempts) and if anyone could email a functional file?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Email a 168MB file?? Good luck with that one!!

Download this:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N03CIN0U

And then read the Word document I attached to this thread. It explains how to get the PB99IMG file from an RUU:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10509780&postcount=102

The reason you can't 'turn off signature' is because the OTA has flashed the stock recovery back on. Yet another example of why you should NOT FLASH AN OTA ON A ROOTED PHONE!!

Hey guys I recently flashed the Dj05 radio and in my setting under base and it says VDj05 but under build number it says SCH-1500 D101 any help
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Did you bother reading any info about the modem that you flashed? If you had, you would have seen that having a baseband and build that don't match will cause the exact issue you're seeing. Either finish updating to DJ05, update again to DL09, or roll back to DI01.
[Fascinate General] BlackHoleSlam:
How would I finish updating dJ05 I installed the modem the Kernal is stupidfast 1.54 and I installed the rom please explain to me what connects the baseband and build like what part
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
What ROM did you install? Is the ROM you installed a DJ05 rom? Odds are it isn't if text messaging isn't working.
[Fascinate General] BlackHoleSlam:
Super clean full should I try the other one for dj05 the full doesn't specify
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
This is the only SuperClean DJ05 ROM. Not sure what SuperClean Full is.

How do I turn on the keypress sounds when using the virtual keyboard? Also how do I disable all haptic feedback even at the lock screen or when pressing the home/settings/back/search soft keys

Thanks
[Droid 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Regarding your first question about sounds for virtual keyboards, I have no answer. I don't know whether this is possible.

But there is no option to turn off haptic feedback even for the search/home/back/manu key. I heard that it could get turned off after a fix from Motorola on the original droid. But there was none yet for the droid 2. Maybe you could send Motorola a mail and suggest such tweak. I will because I think they don't act if there seems to be no demand.

Edit: Erm....please search before you post next time. The internet is full of questionairs asking how to turn off haptic feedback on D/MS2...
[Droid 2 General] sangamc:
I have been searching for haptic feedback togle for a while without a clear answer. Most post say that in the settings menu under sounds i should be able to disable it using the 'haptic feedback option'. It is even described as follows: Vibrate when pressing soft keys and on certain ui interactions. But no matter if its checked or unchecked i still get the same vibration for everything.

As far as keyboard sounds, what i ended up doing was installing the gingerbread keyboard and the sound started working.Not ideal for the average user, but since i root all my droids and play with roms it was something i didnt mind doing.

I haven't used this brand of protector before but thought I would give it a try anyway. I got the Evo clear protector. The installation was very easy. I like the way it feels and the touch response is good. I have noticed that the screen appears hazy. Will this haziness go away after a period of time? I know that most of the skin type protectors need 24 hours for bubbles to go away so I am hoping that this will clear up overnight as well.

Sent from this here Evo!
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Not familiar with that brand but if it's one of the wet application ones then that haziness should go away in a day or so.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
Is does not use liquid. It is similar to the bodyguardz dry apply.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
This is the shield that is supposed to protect against scratches and the shock of a drop. So far I have been pleased with the feel of it and the touch response but it still has that grainy look. If that doesn't not go away then I definitely would not recommend this shield/skin/protector.
[General Questions and Answers] warlordxxx:
Hi all .

Let me just start by saying that i would love to hear your opinions but if you offer them please also put why you think, feel or know that opinion is right or wrong.

So i am very soon to quit smoking and i'm going to put all of my hard earned and non smoked away cash into a new phone. I will be heading for an HTC as i love my diamond 2 the only thing letting it down is the speed to be honest . Now when i do get a phone i will certainly be going into a shop to test out the phones before i buy as i believe you really have to have a play first but considering money will have no constraint on which phone i actually get which phone would you go for and why?

I'll be honest and say i do love speed on a mobile device which points me to the desire or desire HD (yes i know they are android) but i have read in this forum that some pure and simply can't find a decent satnav app which really stops me dead as i use garmin on the diamond quite a lot. This in turn leads me to the hd2(leo) or hd7 as they are both winmo devices and will run garmin xt. with speed in mind that leads me to the hd7 but to be honest i can't be alone in thinking the ui on win7 devices looks really plain and boring to me - i like seing the weather and stuff on my main screen - the other choice is the leo which i understand will not be as good a screen (although good in its own right) and have less functions as an earlier model should.

now each has their own plus and minus points but please share with me your experiences and any info you would like to impart as i would love to hear it.

Thanks for your time
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
