basically i want to switch back and forth the roms but keep my data intact.. right now after flashing the new rom.. i have obviously lost all my sms/emails/apps etc.. is there a one click solution which will restore all my data on every new rom i install?

edit: Also , I did take a titanium backup before I flashed the new rom.. but i didnt do a complete (ALL) backup, since I couldnt find a option to backup all. I had to choose each service/app/etc to backup.. so I ended up backing up all the stuff that I understood..but restoring them hasnt restored my sms/email data yet.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Do an advanced restore->restore /data in cwm.

I've had pretty good luck keeping my contacts, apps, and settings this way. Some people see weird force close issues after restoring /data. Check it out and see if it works for you.

thaniks.. i ll give it a try .. i thought about it.. but wasnt sure what exactly it does.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardrock121:
did that .. now that removed the rom manager and spare parts.. not sure what else it did.. but it did bring everything sms/apps/emails back ..

i guess i can install rom manager from the market..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryno502:
If you only restore data your custom rom will stay. It will only restore your apps and app data. If you are restoring data from a rom on the same file system, you should be fine.

In other words, flashing VIPERrom 4.0.3 EXT4, then backing up, then flashing Bonsai 1.1.4 on RFS, then restoring data is not a good idea.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardrock121:
@ryno502 makes sense....thats what i did and it did restore everything.. Thanks!

now i ve to find some good widgets and lockscreen changes..

Nandroid restore on Custom ROM

I have Cyanogenmod, stable version running on my phone now...

I had taken a nandroid backup using CWM Auto-installer...

But now I wanna know how can i restore my apps that i had with Stock ROM...i tried a advanced backup on /data alone but then, its not booting up if i do so...

Please help..

Xperia?

Your data is incompatible with CM. You will need to download apps again unless you have a Titanium Backup.

Anyone else get a loud static sometimes when they open an app or video? I randomly will get static instead of the audio of an app or video sometimes, it can simply be fixed with a reboot. But was wondering if this was a common problem and if anyone has a fix for it?
[G Tablet General] kampf:
I have seen this in YouTube.

I also get audio quitting, almost always after I've run Angry Birds at some point. As you mentioned, a reboot seems to fix it.

[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Idk if its my speakers becous I have opened my Tablet a few times, But I also somtimes get Broken sound or crackling randomly. But it Randomly goes away too. Also using Vegan 5.1, Waiting for a More stable Cyanogen 7.

I am still running the stock TNT, and mine has been doing it since I got it. I did buy it used on eBay, but seemed as though who ever had it before used it once maybe.
[G Tablet General] nbowes:
I experience all three of these issues from time to time:

sound totally dropping out sometimes, happens while I am using the tablet.

A loud constant SHHHHHHHHH sometimes, happens when I wake up the table from sleep --especially if my son put the tablet to sleep without closing Angry Birds.

Random crackling sounds sometimes, happens a few minutes after I have used the tablet, single-pressed the power button to turn off the screen, and set it down.

And I'm running TNTLite 4.1 on a totally clean, cleared, wiped, and partitioned install. So maybe it is a hardware problem?

I've asked this question before--either nobody knows or it's just a really stupid questions (possible as I don't know a lot about Android)--but if this was happening on my PC, I would update the driver...is there such a thing as a driver update?
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
In Short Not Really.
[G Tablet General] DrPaulR:
I am having similar problems and have a question open at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=916971.

Can you post a logcat when you experience the static problem?
[G Tablet General] kampf:
I am relieved to find I'm not the only one with this problem, but I wonder if I should return and exchange it while I can.

I also have noticed that this happens after not using a task manager to kill everything after playing Angry Birds, but it did just occur minutes ago on an email notification. Angry Birds had not been opened during this boot.

I'm currently running Phoenix 4.1 and noticed that even with wifi connected, it shows that it's scanning for new networks every few seconds. Is there a way to stop the constant scanning for wifi networks even when it is currently connected? I don't really want to have to set it to disable wireless on sleep since my work connection requires you to accept the t.o.s. every time you connect.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boborone:
Not that I've found and I've looked too. A "feature" of the wifi so if you're moving around it will connect to open networks.

hi guys, i've searched the whole forum and in all google but couldn't find an answer.

I've bought in october an european galaxy tab (italy), and if i'm not wrong, the model is P1000, i've noticed that there exist also the p1000L nad the P1000n models.

Today there will be the release of the bootloader fix by chainfire (god bless him!! :) ), but it will only be available for the non L/N version.

OK, that's the point, do i have a p1000 a p1000l or a p1000n version? can i check it in the box or in the tab info in the config menu?

thanks for the reply and sorry for the bad english (i'm italian)
[Galaxy Tab General] Chainfire:
You have a P1000, not N or L.

[Galaxy Tab General] sapphire88:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auditor81:
Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S on the O2 network in the UK.

Before registering here I have tried my best to sort this myself but I really do need some expert advice now. Please!!

I have tried and tried to update the KIES software but no matter what my PC will not connect to the phone it just says 'connecting' and hangs on that

I've tried on an XP machine and a Windows 7 machine and neither work

I'm currently on software 2.1 and would like to update to 2.2

Are there known problems with connecting the phone to a PC?

I've even tried connecting it so the PC would just view it as an external hard drive but again it doesn't connect and the PC does not recognise the phone.

I can't transfer any music or videos to the phone at the moment obviously and that's what I'm hoping to achieve with some kind help off here. I'd also like flash player which I believe is part of the 2.2 update?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi.

Firstly... this is a very well known issue with the kies software.

There are countless threads here about this issue with possible fixes for the problem.

I recommend that u search the forum for your solution and do some reading and you will find your answers.

Good luck...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machatta:
Hi

I take it you have an external micro sd card in the phone? Mine wont connect without.

If you do, you should check whether the drivers are ok by connecting via USB. Goto settings, "Wireless and Network", select usb settings and click "ask on connection". Reconnect the usb and the phone should ask you what connection you want, click mass storage.

If that fails, probably a driver issue. Uninstall Kies and samsung drivers and reinstall the latest version of Kies (google Kies)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] auditor81:
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll do what was advised and report back

I'm assuming once this phone is updated it's a dream to use!

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
I personally find it's a dream to use if you're using the modded roms.. :p

That does kinda void your warranty though
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwhooftman:
Just a few tips which entered my mind:

- older versions of Kies do not connect if you changed the launcher on your phone from touchwiz to something else (i.e. Launcherpro or Zeam)

- it's strange it doesn't even connect in storage mode. How are your usb settings (Settings, Wireless & Networks, USB Settings), is it set to Kies or "Ask". When set to Ask or Storage Mode, you still should pull down the notification bar when connecting to make a choice.

- does the pc bleep to indicate it at least senses a device attached? Have you tried different USB ports?

any suggestions??

I recently ventured into flashing my evo and it was quite easy to root, and return to stock. thank you guys for all of the information posted or else i wouldnt have been able to do it..

My questions are about roms.. Which Rom is the best to use for performance and battery conservation..

So far I love HTC sense, but i'd like more battery and less lag out of it.

Rom's I have tried are:

Cynagen 6

Fresh 3.5

and another i can't remember the name but it was based off of android 2.1

All of these roms ATE my battery.. within an hour-hour and a half I was down to nothing, and It sat in my pocket the whole time, after running quadrant.

I did however notice, my phone would never go to sleep on either rom, not sure if i messed up with rooting it or not.

Any suggestions on what rom to use? I don't want to wait two years for the new sense ui and am curious about gingerbread.

The rom im looking into as of now is CM7-EX.v9, Mixed replies for problems/no problems in that thread though.

As i have said I am new to this, new to linux, etc.. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. thank you and thanks or all of the great things on this forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triscuit1983:
Personally I'm using a customized version of MikFroyo 4.4. I'd have to say what he's done to speed up the system is amazing. A lot of tedious work. I turn it into a "senseless" version and remove an ishload of other apps and use ADW Launcher EX. All in all, it's the best ROM I've used. Battery life is pretty decent as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:
If you like sense then try myn's rls 5
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
As for roms, what do you need to have and what can you do without? AOSP roms still don't have full functionality but do have really sweet custom things added in that could make up for it.

As for speed, I have compared CM6.1 to the Sense rom I am using now and the Sense one is faster/smoother. It has Mikfroyo 4.4 as the base but is even faster than that one. Battery life is OK.

However, if you are not even getting 2hrs out of your battery then something is wrong. You need to investigate or change some settings because no matter what combo you are using should get at least half a day out of it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenfieldan:
1) Make sure you wipe everything before you flash (I'd recommend Calkulin's format all zip)

2) Let ROMs and their respective kernels "settle into your phone." This usually takes 2-3 days.

3) Pick ROMs that don't emphasize speed/power (CM) as much and more on user experience (Myn's)

4) Check my sig if none of these help (however they should :) )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
You may also want to check and see if you are on the newest pri 1.90 if so you can try flashing back to pri1.77 this has helped some people with the 100% wake issue. Then I would suggest another kernel possibly. Good luck.

Oh and +1 for mikfroyo!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruckus226:
mikfroyo seems to be the way to go... someone told me that the battery life would be junk for a few days but i wasn't sure.. i was more worried about the awake time and the up time being the same, meaning something was keeping my battery on.

I like the sense, in fact i'd love to try the new sense for the htc desire on it to see how it is.. looks amazing.

bloatware and what not i can do without

i dont have 4g in my area

i'd like to have both cameras working(i use them alot with my daughter)

mostly its a weather/texting machine.. sound like i got the wrong phone lol.. but i love the advantages of it.

[Mobile Ad Networks] xaiai:
Hi!

I am now trying to implement admob ads in my android apps.

Test ads can be shown in the emulator properly in test mode.

However, when i disable test mode (remove the setTestDevice code) and try to display the live ads, no ads can be shown in both emulator & real device. In log can, a log claimed that there are no ads to be displayed.

In the admob screen, I found that the Fill rate is always 0%. I wonder is this the reason I got no ads to be displayed? If yes, how can i improve the fill rate?

Thanks!
[Mobile Ad Networks] hyperbyteX:
hi, i just started using ads a few days ago and had the same problem, the app needs to be realeased and then used for a bit to increase the number of "requests" (a request is made everytime the program tries to access a new ad), once the # of request increases then the fill rate will increase (e.g. my one app was released friday and has had over 4,000 requests and the ad rate is about 57%). once the fillrate gets higher then you'll start seeing ads... you can go to the sites/apps section on admob (where it shows revenue and stuff) and go to your app and click "reporting", which gives you all the statistics of that app, the "impression" category tells you how many times ads actually showed up.
[Mobile Ad Networks] xaiai:
Thanks For your reply!

One more thing i want to know: does admob pay by impressions , or pay be clicks?

If only user clicks can generate revenue, then wt's the use of impressions?
[Mobile Ad Networks] kwazi:
Admob pays by clicks (at least in my case).

And as hyperbyteX stated, you need to release the app and wait a bit (depending on how popular it is) before you see any live ads.

Hope that helps
[Mobile Ad Networks] Lakers16:
Im not sure I understand what you mean by what's the "use". Admob gives very detailed statistics about requests, impressions, CTR, eCPM and clicks. If you aren't interested in knowing those other fields, then ignore them. Most people are interested to see that kind of stuff though.
[Mobile Ad Networks] nonini:
Impressions help you see how effective your Ads/ad placement is. Also sometimes Admod does not have any Ads to give to you(No one has bought ads that are targeted at you), thats why you don't always see ads.
[Mobile Ad Networks] xaiai:
HA~ I understand now~

Thanks for you guys' help~
[Mobile Ad Networks] vamp6x6x6x:
Thank you that answered my question also because I have noticed that sometimes my app displays ads sometime not. Good to know that thats the reason.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Paulie Pham:
Consider switching another Mobile Ad Network?

First time using Admob, I have the same problems like you. After do some research and try some other ad network, I recommend Adsota as an alternative. its eCPM is much better than Admob. It has quick and smooth payment. Work for IOS and Android and 100% Fill-rate. Adsota works better for me and I think It could work better for you. Give it a try.

You can find by googling "ads.appota".

Best of luck, mate!

After 3 failed attempts to install 2.26.60 on my rooted Droid Pro, and considering the various problems others are having after having successfully installed it, I no longer wish to do so. But, the installation dialog automatically reappears every 12 hours with options to install now or install later. I'd like to delete the installation file, but have not been able to find it with Root Explorer. Has anyone been able to delete it and/or know the path to the file? Thanks, JM
[Droid Pro General] elmemyself:
Same thing here, it is very annoying, specially when I have already tried several times without success...

Do you guys think that those who were unable to update their phones will never make it? Maybe Motorola/Verizon will clear the restriction for the next update?
[Droid Pro General] rosenbaa29:
Are you trying to remove the installation file so you dont have to update to 2.26.60 or are you trying to remove the already updated phone's install file?
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
I have not updated and do not wish to. The installation file produces a nag prompt to either install now, or 12 hours later. There is no option to never install, nor to delete the prompt (such as "do not show again"). I don't care if the update file remains on the machine, I just want to stop the nagging, and I do not intend to update to anything until a major version change (2.3, 2.4, etc) comes along.

[Droid Pro General] rosenbaa29:
Alrighty this is what I found. The file that nags you about the OTA updates is a software file that also runs many more manditory components. So without a custom ROM on your android, (currently the only custom rom is Droid Pro FISSION, with a Beta RC1), is is impossible to avoid the OTA update notification. Sorry bro, thats android for you!

Why not just flash the SBF, install the update, root with Z4 then continue on with your life.
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
After pondering this a bit, I wonder if you would be willing to try to get a couple more answers for me -

1) what is the file - name and pathway?

2) what are the "mandatory" components it also runs?

3) In Titanium Backup Pro apps/files list there is "Updater 2.2". What would happen if I froze that with Titanium Pro?

If you can come up with answers great, if not many thanks anyway - JM
[Droid Pro General] John Markley:
Two reasons - 1) I do not want the update, it has caused problems for others that I don't need, and, 2) I cannot flash the sbf because I only have access to PowerPC Macintosh. No windows real or virtual. I've tried to find out if a sbf flash can be done by Mac unix(Darwin) command line from Terminal with bash shell, but no one has responded. Consequently I don't want to update and find out there's a problem because I can't revert. JM
