[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Well the thing is you are incorrect about a lot of your assumptions and are unintentionally misleading people. I'm not trying to imply that the kernel has caused anyones phone to blow up or anything like that but it is a proven fact that the way they work is bad for the battery. It is possible, however unlilkely, that your battery could react in a very bad way.

You are right that anything above 4.3V is especially bad for it but just before it says that it also tells you, "No trickle charge is applied because lithium-ion is unable to absorb overcharge. A continuous trickle charge above 4.05V/cell would causes plating of metallic lithium that could lead to instabilities and compromise safety."

edit: I give the guy who took apart his battery credit for trying to find out how they work but I question his motives when he refuses to listen to anything others have told. He is responsible for misleading a whole lot of people, including some random blogger for phandroid.

like i said i dont want a flame war v2, i asked a question, xhausx, i have nothing against you but i have seen your name quite a few times "fan-boying" your opinion for being against the battery, i didn't want anyones opinion for one side, this is the conclusion i came up with, im going to use SBC while im awake to charge my phone 3500 mah seidio...when i see the green light come on, i unplug, simple as that, no overcharge, nothing, and once again no flaming anyone...in my head i feel SBC is 100 percent safe but for the slightest chance it's not, im doing it the way i stated above and maintaining the same results, minus the luxury of leaving it overnight...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] JRM.joaquin:
I searched for solutions here in XDA but I didn't find any solutions that are geared towards TILT 2.

My phone was acting up before it got stuck in bootloader screen. The ring tone was dead and the person on the other end of a phonecall I made cannot hear me. So I decided to restart it and the tri-colored screen (red, green, blue) appeared and is stuck in that state.

This is what on my screen right now:

---------------------

RHOD3 32M SS-BC

SPL-0.85. OliNex

MicroP(LED) 0x0A

MicroP(KEY) 0x04

Please help, I applied for jobs recently and I am expecting phone calls within this week. If anyone can please share your stories on how you resolved this issue I would greatly appreciate it.

tried soft reset?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
If soft reset and hard reset don't do anything, the ROM may be damaged, and you may need to reflash it. See my post (#2) on this thread:

I may have bricked my phone and it would be nice to know:

First off if I have.

Second Can i fix it, and how?

I installed the cyanogenmod 6.whatever the newest one is which I can't seem to locate right now. An I found that I liked sense quite a bit so I went to restore from a backup of the Fresh v3.etc rom I was running previously. Halfway through the restore, it failed saying that it was "unable to flash the boot image" Now when I try to boot my EVO I get stuck at the white "htcEVO4G" loading screen and I cant get passed it.

I've tried to flash a new rom (multiple times with the same and different roms), wipe and flash a new rom, at some point I guess i deleted my all my nandroid backups except the one of Fresh which continues to fail.

I CAN boot into recovery and access all of those features properly however (if that helps). I am using the ClockWorkMod recovery as well. (Hboot 2.10.0001)

I was thinking that this didn't look too good for me and I couldn't find anything similar on the forums so I decided to ask here.

If I need to supply any more info on the situation please ask but I think I covered all my bases.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Cheers,

what version of clockwork did you use
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IGC_BlasIAN:
It says v2.5.0.1 in recovery mode, it was whatever is the latest in ROM Manager as I made sure I was up to date before flashing the new ROM (cyanogen).

All of this occurred yesterday (January 14)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Download Calkulin's wipe all zip and flash it from recovery. Then download Fresh Rom and flash it. There should be an option in Clockwork to be able to transfer files to your sdcard. Start new since the nandroid is failing. You are not bricked if you can access hboot and recovery. If my previous suggestion fails download the latest shipped OTA PC36IMG.zip and make sure it is named PC36IMG. Place it on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot by holding volume down and power at the same time and it should recognize the PC36IMG.zip and automatically load it. Then choose yes when it asks if you want to update by pressing volume up. If your phone reboots during the process let it detect the image again and it will automatically continue the update. DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY AT ANY TIME DURING THE UPDATE. This could really get you a brick. Good luck.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoEnd:
hey guys,

my question is, what held the developers of OC the new kernel? is it a new security? or??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesBarnes:
No its nothing awful like that, its just simply that HTC have yet to release the source code for the new Kernel. As soon as they do we can start messing with it!

Until then there isnt a practical way of customising the kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co0kie:
Hey all,

I've been searching everywhere in google as well as in XDA with no success. I am trying to do a full Nandroid backup (just like people are advising you to do when changing roms).

I currently have Clockwork 3.0.0 and am Rooted on stock. When I go into recovery, the only thing I have in regards to backup is just "backup" and no "Nandroid Backup" like people are saying all over the forums. Do I have to install something specific? I am puzzled! Is nandroid a method of backing up or the name of a program?

Also, when I backed up using Clockword >> Backup I found its only around 300mb so I assume it doesnt backup your SD content (i.e. pictures and videos + programs) as well? Is there a way to do a FULL image with literally everything?

Any help will be appreciated!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voyager_s:
Hi...well backup sounds about right. Don't worry about whether it says nandroid or not. Mind doesn't. Just go ahead and do the backup.

And as for the SD card...well no need to worry there either because the SD contents do not get wiped out anyway, so there's no need for it to be backed up in the sameway.

Hope that helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co0kie:
When I'm looking at the development section, it says that it will "WIPE ALL YOUR DATA". Doesn't this suggest I should also backup my pictures + videos?

Thanks for the help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikon8:
The only thing that wipes all your data and sdcard is a fastboot oem unlock, and it sounds like you're already past there. Flashing new roms and choosing "wipe data" in clockwork recovery does not touch your sdcard at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
It's always a good idea to backup your photos and videos just in case. ;) It only takes a few minutes and better to waste a few minutes than lose a precious irreplaceable video of the kid's first steps.

Nothing should wipe your sdcard other than the fastboot oem unlock, but that doesn't mean it can't be wiped by mistake. I just responded in another thread where the guy accidentally formatted his sdcard. Everything gone. :(

Better safe than sorry, in my opinion.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co0kie:
haha i agree, will Titanium Pro backup my photos/videos aswell (as you've commented on the other thread) or it just backs up apps ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
It will only backup apps/data on the internal rom space, not on the sdcard; so no, it won't take care of your photos/videos.

Mount the phone via USB, select mount USB storage, then drag and drop the folders with your photos/videos to your computer harddrive.

Camera photos and vids are kept in the /dcim folder if you use stock. Some 3rd party camera apps may put them someplace else.

I usually just make a full copy of the sdcard at one point, then use rsync periodically to keep it current.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co0kie:
So I guess this is one adv. of keeping apps on internal rom space.

Making a copy of the sdcard and resyncing it periodically sounds like a good idea IMO, what programe do you use to resync the sdcard?

thanks,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Titanium will backup apps and data that are on the sdcard if you put them there with the apps2sd feature. It's smart that way. I'm talking about the apps that store settings and stuff (like Titanium itself, Launcher Pro, ADW, the gym log apps I've used, lots of games, etc) that put user data on the sdcard outside of the protected or apps2sd storage area on the sdcard.

I don't use an app for rsync, I just use the rsync command from the terminal on my Mac.

There's a couple of rsync apps on the Market. Someone mentioned using an app to rsync in one of the threads on here not too long ago. Here's an appbrain link to a search on the term rsync, it only shows two apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co0kie:
What if I move the app using Gingerbread feature to "move to sd", will it still know to back them up?

/is that what u meant in the beginning by feature of apps2sd? not sure cause there is an actuall program that does this :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Yes, that's what I meant. It also covers just about all of the various apps to the sdcard hacks that various rom makers have implemented over the last year or two; certainly the popular ones like cyanogen and darktremor's versions.

If you get Titanium Pro, pay for the license. It will enable batch restore where all your apps can be restored at once without user intervention, otherwise I believe you have to okay each one individually.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co0kie:
I just bought it and performed a batch back up :) thank you!

Now, assuming i have already perfomed a backup and now if i move the app2sd, will it know to update it next time?

Then, when i jump to the next ROM, all i have to do is batch restore?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
If you move the app to the sd, the restore will put the app back in its location where it was during the backup. Just run a batch backup of all changed applications after moving anything around.

After you flash a new rom, just run a batch restore: apps and data only, usually not a good idea to restore system settings across different roms.

[G1 Accessories] DelsaDj:
is possible to take the htc magic (or hero) trackball on g1..and maybe make it work with modified rom??
[G1 Accessories] traumatism:
am i right in thinking you want the light up trackball to be installed on the g1? if so this is not possible. its not the trackball that emits the light but a diode on the chipboard behind it to make it look like it is lighting up. would be cool if it were possible but i do not think it is.
[G1 Accessories] jianC:
The Magic trackball is too big? Maybe there are clear trackballs you could replace for the G1 from a blackberry but its not worth it unless you're feeling very adventurous.
[G1 Accessories] traumatism:
yeah there may be but i cant help thinking he wants the ball to light up as well which cant be done due to the hardware.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stephen:
I have downloaded a nand androuid build that I am 99% happy with. I do however want to change a couple of things on the build.

I have downloaed and got ubutu up and running on a virtual box. I have then copied the system.img file on to a usb drive and copied it into ubuntu. Location of the file is in stephen which is my logon name.

I have also created a folder called mount which I want to mount the img file to.

I have done this before in ubuntu using ext2 files but I can not get the mount command to work for an img file. Is there an way to mount the img file, remove the files I do not want and then comple a newer smaller img file?

EDIT: logged on as root and moved the system.img and mount folder to main file system folder. Ran command mount -t img /system.img /mount but now getting error unknown filesystem type 'img'

Any help would be appreciated.

HTC Desire bad battery, how do i improve it?

trying this now, but any other?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prosciutboy:
Actually this article from androidcentral is really complete in terms of settings to reduce battery consumption:

androidcentral.com/keeping-your-charge-how-improve-battery-life-your-android-phone

You can also have a look at this one from howtogeek:

howtogeek.com/howto/25319/complete-guide-to-maximizing-your-android-phones-battery-life/

When battery drains a lot it is important to find the cause, in this case tools like systempanel are useful, but keep in mind that it is a good thing to stay away from task killers as explained on lifehacker [what are task killers and why you shouldn't use them]:

lifehacker.com/5650894/android-task-killers-explained-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them

Hope this will help !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
A bad battery is mainly due to either it being faulty or by a stupid amount of usage. Remember that using 7 home screens, live wallpaper, widgets, apps running in the background. All of this counts towards usage. I don't know about calibrating a battery. Some people say it works, some say it doesn't.

I did a little useless experiment the other day where I had my phone at 55% battery and I decided to see how much battery would be used over 24 hours with as little usage as possible. I managed to get 8% of the battery used using 2mA. Hope that puts something into perspective for you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaa:
I tried CPU tuner on the stock ROM and it gave some life to my battery, but I've just flashed a new ROM recently, so hopefully it'll work better.

Can you clarify "as little usage as possible" to get that 8%? Do you mean like switching off everything, or simply not using the device but keeping all the apps as they were?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gaiden0000:
What are the Windows Live Services that don't work on a HD2 that isn't activated. I've searched all over but they all just mention the word Live Services or Hotmail, but nothing else.

The reason I ask is that if it is just things like Xbox Live and the Market place then I don't care if i don't have them. Once i can still have access to my Exchange server then I'm happy.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
Afaik it's (this ?)

But on the phone only a few are available, but non without the activation :D

Just joking, without the activation you can't :

*Sign into a Hotmail Account.

*Thus Signing into Xbox Live

*Use the marketplace

*Buy music off Zune (or movies)

*Sync with a Windows Live ID (same as 1st)

I'm not sure about the exchange, but it should work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gaiden0000:
Thank you so much for this response. This doesn't seem to bad what soever, although I guess the only bad thing is not being able to purchase any apps from the Market Place as I use my Sat Nav software daily.

Might just give this baby a go. Can always flash back to my Nand Desire HD build if I don't like it.
[Vega Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
I have created the vendor files for the advnet vega based apon the cyanogen ones for the Gtab, and compiled CM6 for the vega. This is not supported by cyanogen's team yet as the vega isnt officialy supported by them yet so please take that into mind (dont ask for support on the cyanonen irc ect u probably wont get it) but feel free to ask support on this thred.

Nither me or the CyanogenMod team take no responsability for any damage caused bu this rom. by flashing it means u understand this risks and accept the risks.

What doesnt work :-

- Camera

- Rotation can be funny (if it works at all)

[UPDATE]

- Black Screen Of death can occur when rebooting (looking into this ASAP) so be prepared to restore

What works :-

- Every thing else (i think)

[INSTALL]

1) get the .zip file from the bottion of the post

2) copy it to SD card

3) reboot into recovery

4) MAKE NANDROID BACKUP

5) flash zip from recovery (you will get a boot write error thats normal)

6) reboot :-)

7) DONE

If anyone else wants to try and improve on this please feel free.

(Please note at the current time the boot.img that the compile creates will not work on the vega to u will have to make one by extracting the original ramdisk from the boot.img)
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
thanks mate been tring with cyanogenmod for gtablet..gonna try now. THis bad boy vega need some action

got error message:

assert failed: package_extract_file("boot.img" ,"/temp/boot.img")

E:Error in /sdcard/CM-6.2.0-Vega.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

edit: fixed.

I successfully installed, I put the original boot.img from vega into the zip, taking it for a spin now. Thanks Apache14.
[Vega Android Development] darrenjdoc:
I sold my Vega because of the screen imo wasnt great and the wi-fi issue.

Would have loved to have tried this rom though.

Good work !!!
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
Thanks to apache14 and everyone involved

How do we get market onto the tab. thanks in advance
[Vega Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
Dunno about market any CM6 compatable gapps will work ..... also the adding boot.img isnt needed as there is no need to flash the boot.img (the stock advent one works pritty well for now)
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
thx mate, misread the first post
[Vega Android Development] arad85:
Anyone working on fixing the black screen of death on cold boot a lot of people are getting with clockwork? I know there are enough people who don't have CW installed because of this that anything that depends on it will have a more limited appeal.
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
I have installed clockwork a couple of times and no black screen of death. Its straight forward.

Follow the instruction paul gave on modaco.

Download the Recovery image and flash utility and extract to desktop

open terminal

adb devices to make sure your device is connected

cd to the directory of file you just extract

then type

adb push recovery.img /data/local/

adb push flash_image /data/local/

adb shell chmod 4755 /data/local/flash_image

adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery.img

thats done.

If you on mcr 6, the vega reboot recovery is already installed if not download from the market.

cheers
[Vega Android Development] arad85:
Yes, it's very straightforward. I've done it a few times too and followed the instructions. I still get the bsod as do a number of others. Without CM installed, no bsod...

Try power cycling your Vega back-to-back using the power button. I bet you'll get it to bsod reasonably quickly.
[Vega Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
BSOD

Some people have reported black screen of death when rebooting with the power menu. so be careful and be prepared to restore (or flash stock boot,img again)

I am looking into this error now and hope to have a fix pritty soon
[Vega Android Development] arad85:
Brilliant - thanks :)
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
i fixed it. Copy boot.img,system.img and ramdisk.img from vega into the cyanogenmod zip,then flash, it also boot into recovery using rom manager.

Note: Do not unzip the cyanogengenmod, just use winrar to open it and copy those files into it then close it
[Vega Android Development] arad85:
Sorry, being particularly thick today. How do I get hold of the three .img files?
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
download the advent vega system file from advent vega website,zip it using winrar.
[Vega Android Development] arad85:
<facepalm>
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
no stress man. Its quite smooth and fast, love the animation as well
[Vega Android Development] arad85:
So I did all this, and now have a device that is....

... exactly the same as before but with CWR installed (even says it's MoDaCo ROM). The flashing process took only a few seconds and no boot write error. Am I missing something here?

EDIT: hang on... just realised the zip file was wrong!!
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
To get the market and apps

Download http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip, then flash using rom manager. then once you reboot you should get all your apps and market. enjoy

[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
it does take some time to settle down.
[Vega Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
I haven't had problems with Gmail but then again i dont use it that much :).

To be honest im looking at getting on with 2.3 rather than fixing stuff with this. thats mainly why i released this now as i wont spend time on it other than to fix things other than what would affect 2.2 .... ie the reboot bug (BSOD)
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
don't worry the reboot issue is fixed now, concentrate on 2.3 but i can't see my paid apps and some other apps in the market even after using market enabler
[Vega Android Development] arad85:
BSOD happened again even after copying the three .img files to the zip file. The way I got it to happen this time was to hard power off during boot (power for 6 seconds) then just rebooting once the screen had gone blank.

Let me know when you mant me to test anything else (I'm good at breaking things), my Vega is just used for browsing at the moment and it's easy to get back to the state I had it in at any time...
