[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivemaster:
^ What this guy said. Plus the nexus s is not flimsy. I also own the nexus one and I can see the quality of build in both, even if one is aluminium and one is plastic. The nexus s is fantastic and the *best* android phone I have ever used, and I have owned plenty, including the dhd. Everything just works, and it's one of the first times on an android phone where a custom rom is really not required - there is enough space for a crap load of apps and music, and gaming on it is fantastic. Nothing is out of bounds on the nexus s.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
for me the selection was simple

I wanted a SAMOLED phone that works in 1700+2100

with at least 1 Ghz stock CPU and 16 GB RAM, with GPS, and all the xtra toys and wishes it can pack inside this nice an think wafer

the only unfortunate thing is missing the external SD support

Rom manager gets stuck upon opening. The loading wheel at the bottom just keeps spinning. This happened after I updated my kernal (to a dj05 safe one) following the radio upgrade to dj05.

Everyone seems to have occasional issues with rom manager. I usually just reboot the phone if it's being really temperamental.

Tried many things at this point, changed roms and kernal because all of a sudden I can get into that menu even though its is still loading. Might just have to deal with it till a new version comes out...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jacobh25:
First off I did search until I went blue. I'm having the digitizer failure problem with my HD2 which has HSPL3 and a stripped down winmo 6.5 rom. I Have been running android from the SD card.

The main problem is the phone is stuck in "boot as disk" mode when plugged into my USB port and I can't use the screen to put it in "active sync" mode. Is there another way around this so I can put the stock SPL and rom on? I know I must be missing something easy. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Boot in bootloader: power off, and then after powering back on keep the volume down button pressed. You can flash stock WinMo from there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jacobh25:
Thanks! This is really strange though. The screen is now responding after not working at all for two weeks. Any chance somthing was stuck under the volume button and around the screen?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I doubt it. There's being quite some doubt about these digitizer failures though, whether they are really hardware problems or just software. I have always been a believer of the first, but recent stories have made me doubt that. It's probably a mixture of both, so if at some point the digitizer stops working again in WinMo, get it fixed while you're still under warranty.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jacobh25:
ok, I still plan on sending back in. I bought it 6 months ago, found a winmo and android roms that worked and never messed with it again.

So I'm guessing I just flash the stock rom it came with from the SD card then take off HPSL?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I'm actually not sure how to completely remove all XDA-traces, but I bet there's plenty of guides on that in the WinMo section!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jacobh25:
Thanks again. Right when my digitizer went out it seemed like 5 more OS options opened up Win phone 7, boot straight into android etc.

I got the phone into active sync while the screen worked for about 2 seconds. Everything should be cake from here.

Thanks for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] phillaholic:
I have found some conflicting information involving two Samsung chips the S5PC110 and S5PC111. Originally I thought the 110 was in the entire Galaxy S line, though I've seen many sites list the 111. Can anyone set the record straight for me as to which phones have which of these chips? I also read that the 111 has twice the performance, though only through the "List of PowerVR products" wiki article that I can't actually find a source for.

Thanks.

First of all credit to Suhel28 and MrRusch for making the work.

I have only modded Suhel28's framework a bit and used MrRusch's modtool to apply it to a X8.

Suhel28's modded framework

MrRusch's modtool Even though it says X10ModTool it works perfectly with X8.

The X8 wasn't mine so i dont have any screenshots. Feel free to take some and either upload them here or send them to me and i will upload it.

It is a framework with transitions and battery percentage mod and i have changed many of the pictures with new better looking ones.

If i am stepping on somebodys toes with this please let me know and i will delete it at once.

It is described in the link how it works
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] mzmz83:
There's no transparency for the icons.

[Fascinate General] worwig:
Long story, but I bought a used Fascinate without the stock charger.

Could someone install, or hopefully already have, the "Battery monitor Widget". Then plug their Fascinate into the stock AC charger or stock car charger (NOT the USB on a PC), and let me know what the usage (ma) reading is on the widget.

More of the story. Basically, I know that at least on older HTC devices they would pull more charge/operating power from a non-USB connection. Actual USB is limited to 500ma load, so they had a system that kept the current low on USB and bumped it up for non-USB. All of the non-stock cables that I have show a very low charge rate on the Fascinate. It in fact runs the battery dead while on charge and I use the phone with GPS software.
[Fascinate General] Mylt1:
i can tell you the factory charger is putting out 5v at .7a(700ma).
[Fascinate General] worwig:
Thanks, it is good to know that they stick with 5V. But it just means that it can put out up to 700ma. I suspect it is using about half of that.

If you can cut open the wires and insert and ammeter in series, that is what I need to know.
[Fascinate General] Xanius:
edit: nvm ...
[Fascinate General] worwig:
Found it. I have been searching for this for a couple of weeks and just now stumbled on the right search keywords.

For anyone that wants to know.

The Fascinate appears to pull about 350ma from the 5 volt supply normally. But, if you short out the USB D+ and D- lines in the charge connector, the charge current goes up to about 600ma.

That will help me not have a dead battery when using the GPS.

Oh, as an added bonus, you don't get the USB / Debug notification.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captirwin:
I'm trying to upgrade my Vibrant to 2.2 Android. I get a message to remove the battery and retry. I've done this twice. No Luck.

Could the fact that the phone is unlocked and has a cloned sim card have any effect on the upgrade?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janis:
You should be able to flash your phone without a SIM card at all.

As far as official OTA updates, you need to call your carrier and ask. They don't need to know if it's locked or not.

If your cloned SIM was ill-gotten, you probably won't get a good answer here, either.

As of right now I'm running a Axura 2.2.something and i want to move on to Bionix official 2.2. My question is should I odin back to stock then move to bionix or can i just flash to Bionix

Help is appreciated
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcp877:
You can just flash. Do a data wipe, the op for the rom tells you all the instructions
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek25:
but best beat u can do is yes wipe with stock and odin, format sd, and reflash with w.e your choice is, my 0.5$
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdeified:
I used rom manager and I just flashed bionix from axura. It is running well and a lot better than I expected
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valewalker:
The general consensus is that Bionix V flashes well on top of other roms. Official TeamWhiskey forums say that you do not need to disable voodoo if coming from one of their previous roms, but you may want to disable it if you're coming from Axura or the like just to be safe.

I've viewed many posts on battery life on xda but I still don't know why my battery doesn't last even when I am not using it.

I disabled wifi/gps location, disabled facebook/twitter widgets and any other logical power usage. After that I powered it up to 100% and after two hours with no usage the battery dropped 15%. I installed an app which will let me know in a day or so which apps are sucking the life out of my battery.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
[Captivate General] tedtech:
Recalibrate the battery.. lots of info on xda. Mine went two days the last charge...
[Captivate General] xgodx1234:
You might have flashed it when your battery wasn't full?

try recalibrating the battery?

[Captivate General] flashman2002:
That doesn't always help. I had the same issue with Serendipity. It is a good ROM but for me it just killed my battery. It was mostly draining during sleep periods which it should not. I have had issues with OC/UV kernels and I just decided to switch ROM's rather than try another kernel. Nothing wrong with the ROM for me other than battery drain, which is an issue between phones from what I have seen.
[Captivate General] bames:
try firefly + speedmod kernal

give it a few days to settle in after 2-3 days use my battery life had improved tremendously
[Captivate General] ua549:
Since flashing to Serendipity my battery life has just about doubled from ~6 hours to more than 12 hours of heavy use.

I use WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth continuously with very little3G data or voice communications.

I never use the media player or the camera.
[Captivate General] joeshmoe08:
Try the Di11igaf's 5.1 rom. The battery is amazing for me. Just flash the rom at 100% and then recalibrate and set clock at 100mhz and uv at 50 75 75 100 125 125 (1280 to 100mhz)
[Captivate General] blazin619:

[Captivate General] alkiter:
Try Andromeda, best battery life yet.
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
Agreed. I believe it's user error.
[Captivate General] klepto:
The culprit was wifi, as it would randomly connect to a network and some apps started to sync. I"ll try to recalibrate the battery and disable wifi for a day and see how my battery lasts.

Thanks for all the help

See if that works for ya
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ianmcquinn:
Not technically supposed to share the pre-installed version of Swype (and for the post above, the lib file is needed as well anyway).

If you have a backup, as stated before, you can pull the files from that. Or you could just pull it from one of the stock G2 ROMs available. Or you could sign up for Swype and install the official beta: http://beta.swype.com/.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] GuestK00102:
Nope :/ Completely forgot. Rooted 4 G2's that day and I was trying to just get it out of the way lol :( Sad guy time.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] GuestK00102:
I downloaded a Stock G2 Rom but the SwypeRestore app didn't find it in the "backup"
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ianmcquinn:
Not sure what rom you tried (and I haven't used SwypeRestore before), but if you downloaded one of the PC10IMG zips, I think you'd have to unyaffs the system.img from it first. Probably easier to download one of the rooted stock roms (like this one or this one) and just extract the files you need from the zip.

Or just sign up for the official app (takes 10 seconds). Then you get a full APK and don't have to worry about the extra library file (plus receive updates when they come out).

[Desire HD General] nex7er:
I just received my dhd, and I'm noticing that the top glass is giving in just a tiny bit. It's not that I can see it as much as I can hear it.

I'm reluctant to send it back as I need a working phone at all times. When I had the nexus one it had a.similar issue which was fixed by blowing hot air on the part of the glass that was ggiving in. Would this work here as well? I don't have a blowdryer so I'll need to borrow one when I can.

It seems like pushing it and holding my hand there for a min only helps for a little while. I'm assuming hot air is needed?

Help is much appreciated.
[Desire HD General] Blinkydamo:
If you got it from a mobile shop then take it back and ask for a replacement. If they say they have to send it away ask for a temp replacement phone till yours returns, most shops have temp phones they can use, they just dont like to do it.

Me personally, I would not like to use a hot air gun on my phone, but you own it so its up to you.

Good luck,

Blinky

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrederickTatum:
Before I start, yes I did look around, and the best I found were unanswered questions, but if someone can link me to some answers I would much appreciate it.

Anyway my questions mostly deal with unlocking. Now I've heard about ChevronWP7, but, as far as I can tell, it's only for a jailbreak type of 'unlock' rather than the traditional carrier unlocking, is that correct?

If so, is there a free way to unlock phones to use on different carriers?

Also, if a phone is already carrier unlocked, will the lock return when syncing with a computer?

Finally, if I were to get a phone just for development, would I need to use it as a phone at all (meaning have a SIM card inserted), or could I just treat it like an iPhone's iPod Touch?

Thanks in advanced
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jefis:
ChevronWP7 unlocks a phone, so you can install applications from other sources than marketplace. For example, develop your own application, and install it on phone.

Official way: Pay 99$ for MS, to be able to do that.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrederickTatum:
Thanks, that's what I figured. But as a student, I get it free anyway. Do you know the answers to my other questions?

Also, if I were to get an HD2 and install Windows Phone 7 on that, would I be able to use the marketplace and develop applications on that?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crsnwby:
To develop apps you dont need the phone just the SDK and the emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrederickTatum:
I know, I actually have a few apps up already. But the emulator only goes so far, you don't get to see how your apps look in the marketplace and you don't get to try out competing apps. The main reason I want a device now is because I'm working on a game and the emulator doesn't have multi-touch capabilities and in general it can be sluggish
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FishFaceMcGee:
If you're saying the game performs sluggishly in the emulator, it's much more likely that you have a memory leak or performance problem with your game, assuming your computer isn't slow.

If you want the apps on the phone you're going to either need to use ChevronWP7 (which will stop working after this next patch although apparently Microsoft will release or allow some sort of homerbrew solution after that patch) or get the dev unlock. Unfortunately, if you're in the App Hub through DreamSpark, they don't check your ID (which is required to get an unlock) until you try to submit your first app. This means you either have to upload a dummy app (which counts against your 5 free submissions) or you have to build an app entirely based on the emulator.

In terms of carrier unlock, I don't believe there is a free solution, but I'm entirely unsure about that.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrederickTatum:
It runs okay, but not as smooth as when I run it natively in Windows. This one is just a board game, I ran a more complex game I was working on in the past and it also ran fullspeed in Windows but was quite sluggish in the emulator. I know there are differences in the way the platforms handle memory, but I'm a pretty careful coder, I'm pretty sure it's more to do with the fact that the whole Windows Phone 7 dev kit is still quite new.

Anyway, I'm still thinking of going with the HD2 option. Would I be able to register that as a dev phone? If not how about ChevronWP7?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
i think it was suggested earlier but you register your windows live account as a dev account (to activiate requires you to submit an app). once that's done, the phone automatically unlocks and works as a dev phone. i still don't agree on using HD2 as the basis of your dev phone, but i understand your lack of finances.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrederickTatum:
I like the idea of getting an HD2 just because of it's versatility, I could put Android on it if I wanted to try developing for that platform, the only thing stopping me is the fact that WP7 for HD2 will probably hit a snag when 7.1 comes out and I'd be stuck on the emulator again.

Actually I could get a proper Windows Phone, I just don't like paying for data. I just want to run it on WiFi and use it like an iPod touch. That's why I wanted to know if the device works fine without a SIM card or will it not let you do anything until you insert one? Surely owners of a device could answer this question.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
yes it can be used wifi only.

[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
I still believe that must of the lag is caused by bad software, though i also notice that screen is kind of lose.
[Folio 100 General] waii69:
i do believe too, no prove but have the feeling that some app crashed behind the screen and make the folio lag or freezed.

somebody can confirm that? :confused:
[Folio 100 General] kaivish:
using dev tools, u can monitor the cpu usage values. if it get above 2.0( except for the first 2/3 minutes when booting and when connecting to wifi), then some app is causing it to lag. if values are still below that number for a long time and still there is screen lag issue, then its definitely a hardware issue.
