try recalibrating the battery...basically let it die all the way to the point where it wont even turn on anymore...then I like to remove the battery for like 30 secs or so but im not sure if its actually necessary...then plug it back in and let it charge all the way til the led turns green...then take it off the charger and turn it on....did that and i noticed a big difference especially after a day or two

Is Nova and blockbuster stock apps now?

I don't recall a recovery on an unrooted evo...is there one? Also, is there a p36img file on the sd card out of the box?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shdwboy:
Hmmm. Thats weird. No I don't think so for both of your questions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathsled:
Blockbuster and the Nova DEMO are stock apps as of the 3.70 update.

a pc36img file does NOT come on the SD card stock, you have to put it there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clj575:
Thanks for the reply. I already unrooted...just curious because I don't recall any of the above when my phone was stock. Curious about the stock recovery option..is there one or does it go to a red triangle on all stock phones?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:
yes there is a stock recovery
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] vegihead:
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm extremely new to all this.

I am trying to set up my MyTouch to be a wifi hotspot for my rooted Nook Color. From what I've been reading and experiencing in my efforts to get it to work, is that the NC doesn't recognize ad hoc wireless connections.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks for the help!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yguns76:
Sounds like you need to look for an android-wifi-tether application.

This program enables tethering (via wifi and bluetooth) for "rooted" handsets running android (such as the Android DevPhone 1). Clients (your laptop for example) can connect via wifi (ad-hoc mode) or bluetooth and get access to the internet using the 3G, 2G mobile connection or (in case you are using bluetooth) the wifi connection which is established by the handset.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Not what he's looking for. He's looking for an app that will broadcast an actual network, not just an ad-hoc connection, which that app does.
[HD Mini General] Manneman32:
Hi guys! I just love this forum. I have been a member for some time but since I got a HD Mini I have found myself being more active here. I have modded my HD Mini just to my own liking and I just love it.

However... I have one concern....

I know there are two volumesettings in HD Mini, the ringvolume and the systemvolume. My problem is this: at night I often go to bed and watch an episode of my favorite series or sometimes a movie. I find the build-in movieplayer (not Windows Mediaplyer) just fine for that purpose after converting my media just right. BUT... I decrease the volume when I watch so that I won´t wake up my wife. If I fall asleep when watching, the volume for the alarmclock is also decreased in the morning... thanks to the fact that I lowered it in the movieplayer.

Is there any tweak that allows me to decrease the volume seperate from the rest of the system? Any known tweaks?

Best regards

Magnus, Sweden
[HD Mini General] codiak:
I dont think it works with die HTC Player as it is linked to the system settings.

CorePlayer (TCMP should work also, but i didnt tested that) can lower the volume so your wakeup tone will be loud and you can watch your media with lower volume.
[Desire General] ChemicalKicks:
Can someone point me in the direction for solid instructions to root and debrand my Desire on Orange network. I assume that by rooting it debranding it would be un-needed anyway.

I have previously debranded my phone but yesterday I cracked the screen, got sent a replacement today and I've decided to go the whole hog with this handset this time.

Thanks in advance

Just looking for a vanilla ROM (froyo) with Sense.
[Desire General] karloe:
There is a sticky in "Development" with al the needed links to do your research :cool:
[Desire General] ChemicalKicks:
Right guys, thanks for the tips. Rooted like a charm only thing is I can't completely remove some preinstalled apps. I used Titanium Backup and although it did appear to remove them I can still see them in the app list. Now they don't have their graphics though, just green application squares like you would see in running services in settings. Any ideas how to get rid of them?

Also I had a look at the ROM list, I just want a vanialla froyo ROM and I'm not sure which one to pick although I am downloading this. What would you suggest or is that okay?
[Desire General] ChemicalKicks:
Stuck that ROM on that I linked to above and so far no problems, phone seems slower to turn on now though:rolleyes:

Rooting my Desire Z

i attempted to root my htc desire z with VISIONary

but no messages are shown after tap "Temptroot now".

why? and how should i do?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] cloverdale:
I would really like to do away with adds, and have been struggling with this. Here is what I have tried so far:

1. After a temp root I ran adfree, which claimed to be a success, but upon trying out the browser and various apps the ads remained.

2. Noting that after a run of adfree, it states that the DNS cache must be cleared, I opened a root terminal and entered clear dns. Upon opening an ad filled app, I was delighted to find the ads gone. Tempting fate, I opened the browser and found that any site containing ads would freeze, and not load (xda for example).

3. I thought that maybe clearing the dns was the issue, so I took the hosts file generated by adfree, placed it on my sd, and made a visionary.sh script in /data/local, which upon boot placed the host file in /system/etc. The script ran fine, all ads were gone in apps, but again, websites with ads would not load.

This is where I am stuck. Getting the host file in the correct directory upon boot is not a problem, but I cannot figure why blocking ads causes the websites to not load. Any input would be appreciated.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
I have experienced something kinda similar, but not exactly. I didn't have any luck with the app. A long time ago when I was running 1.5 it worked but not anymore. I learned about replacing the file with a modified hosts file into /system/etc. The only time it worked is when there was full root and my file manager of choice, root explorer, was able to truely write in the system folder and others. I always had to reboot in order for it to take. Since we don't have full root, after reboot, the stock hosts file is restored. I'm sure you already know this by the sounds of it.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] BuddahWolf01:
Full root should be uploaded by tonight, so I would just wait for that if I were you

For new and expert users:

I have been using Android full time on my Rhod500 for about 4 months now, and I have been wishing for a combination that would at least get me about 12 hours of battery life.

I currently have 47 percent battery and the phone has been on for 6.5 hours. I have tried Neopeek, XDAndroid, and Tiad8's FroyoX. FroyoX with the newest files (camera files) is the best for me. Here is what I have:

Rhodium 500 Verizon

Tiad8 FroyoX 1/23

Camera Modules and zImage (in the FroyoX download)

Syncing the following:

-Gmail (PUSH Sync)

-Google Calendar and contacts (PUSH Sync)

-Outlook work email, calendar and contacts (PUSH Sync)

-Yahoo mail (15 min Sync)

-Facebook with Desktop Widget (1 hour Sync)

-ClockSync (12 hour Sync)

I have always used sleepmode = 1 or 2, but the startup that came with FroyoX had sleepmode = 0, which I believe is the most aggresive sleep, but I have not had any Sleep of Death (SoD).

Also, as a speed comparison:

-XDAndroid is always VERY choppy and laggy for me.

-Neopeek is VERY smooth, but requires just a bit of partitioning on the SD card

-Tiad8 FroyoX 1/23 is just as SIMPLE as XDAndroid, but it is JUST AS FAST as the Neopeek builds. I thought the speed would not be as good, since it is not using the ext2 partion, like Neopeek's ports, but it is really just as fast and VERY STABLE.

Hopefully this helps someone. I'll repost if I see any changes or get a better setup.

I can't post this to the development section, since I do not have 10 posts... so here is the first one...

I have the MarketUpdater.apk, can anyone tell me how to install it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
Try copying to /system/app (with adb or root explorer) and rebooting, that may work.

The reason you're missing it is probably due to an incorrect product code. Flashing new CSC with correct product code would probably fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
Is it ok if i copy it to external sd card and installing via file explorer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
I don't know if that will work, but since it has to be in /system, you are much better off copying it to /system and then rebooting like I said. Unless you have some special market apk installer that you found somewhere.

Best bet would have been to flash using appropriate CSC/country code to begin with then you will have market. But if you don't want to do it, you can fix this.

sorry if this question is already asked but i have try to search on forum but i'm not found :p;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] TomasNM:
1. You can use Resco Registry extension for Resco Explorer. There you can export some registry entries and import them later.

2. You can create standalone cab with your registry settings. If your cab will delete after installation,set it as readonly.

3. You can use Registry Workshop software for PC to manipulate with registry

4. You can use Mortscript

Hi all! I've bought an HTC AT&T Tilt recently but it really turned out to be not so good of a deal. First of all if the phone is turned on the USB just doesn't work. I mean no charging, no connection to PC etc. If it's off it charges normally. At first i thought that it's a hardware issue and I just gave away money for nothing. After I started playing with it I noticed a few things. I ran Android through Haret and the USB works magnificently. Charging, connectivity and so on. When I switch to WinMo - bump. I tried 3 different comps and 4 different cables but still nothing. Read some threads here and there but as far as I could tell I still need USB connection to flash the device. So no HardSPL as far as I know. The USB port on the device is in perfect condition(at least to my knowledge). I cant's even use the phone because it's AT&T network locked and to unlock it I would still need USB connectivity! If anyone has an idea how I can flash completely via MicroSD or anything else I'd be really thankful. Thanks in advance!

I forgot to write current sw versions:

R 1.65.21.18

G 25.88.40.05h

D 3.57.00.00

And at bootloader:

KAIS1*0

SPL-3.56.0000

CPLD-8
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BrandonBaskin:
Hi Guys,

Has anyone heard of - or thought about a way to have a new quick link automatically created after the predetermined amount are used up?

For example: In Sense 2.5 after you fill up the 3x3 grid another quick link is automatically created and so on as you fill each of the next ones. I'd prefer this as opposed to a predetermined amount of quick links.

If anyone's interested let me hear your ideas, thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Hello my friend!

Why don't you just install a mod that allows to change the amount of quicklinks? CHT for example.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BrandonBaskin:
Hey,

CHT is OK for some folks, I guess. But I want to explore the possibilities of having a new quick link bubble automatically pop up once, your old ones are full. I don't like having a a bunch of unncecessary slots for apps that I may or may not use. Have you ever heard anyone else discussing this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Nope :)

I understand your idea, but without programming skills this isn't possible. I'm not a CE developer ;]

I never saw something like that for Sense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BrandonBaskin:
Thanks for the reply though, I'll keep looking and trying to figure out how this could be done.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Jackos:
Maybe you should ask the CHT Team? They're still improving the mod, I think that they could be interested in your idea.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Robert's PDA:
Hi Brandon, CHT does do what you are asking for. While it doesn't pop up automatically, you can make "empty" slots not show. I attached a pic of my 2nd quick tab as an example.

hi guys,

when i power on my kaiser (with the stock rom) and the phone gets to the welcome screen i can hear a dead battery sound and the phone powers itself off:(. tried hard reset, flashing a new rom, changing radio, buying a new battery, charging battery using charger wires..nothing seems to work :mad: . If i flash a new rom like wm 6.5 the phone shows me radio version, protocol version and rom version ( R G D ), the light dim's and the phone shuts down.

when i connect the charger a yellow led turns on..i left the phone charging for one whole day but the light is still yellow

any solutions? thanx in advance :)

I've got a similar problem but usually when i make or accept calls the phone switches off

My phone is a Kaiser 130 which runs on 5 volts but the battery i got with it (bought it on ebay) is Kais 160 which runs at 3.7 volts???? Also the mains charger i got with phone is a 5v.

I just did a power test using the program below till the battery was dead and then plugged into my laptop to recharge and within 2 mins battery is up to 72%???

can anyone who has a Kaiser 130 from new tell me the original battery voltage and code please

power detect download is here if anyone wants to download

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] giany_rap:
every kaiser has a 3.7 volts battery..are you sure the phone turns off when you make or receive a call? My guess is that only the screen turns off (sleep mode - same as pressing the red button) because your ear can touch the screen and acces random menus etc

which flex cable are you talking about? Do you have a second unit that you can do a part swap to see if it is actually the cable issue?

The phone just switches off completely with any hint of longer usage (phone call longer than 1 min or so, garmin mobile xt barely makes to searching of satellites). I use original stock ROM.

Unused (no phone calls) it can last for two days. I have tested it with brand new/unused prepaid sim.

I took it to authorized HTC service center, but unfortunately they do not support it any more due to lack of parts.

Anybody else have this issue? Or clue to what might be wrong. I really love this phone…

Same / Similar Problem

I have the same (or at least quite similar) problem here. Only with me, I think it's the micro USB port that needs changing. There is two visible cracks which maybe stopping the flow of electricity.

When I plug it into a charger, either wall or to my PC, it turns on fine, and can stay on aslong as it's plugged in. (sort of makes it like a desktop then, doesn't it :) ). The problem is that it doesn't charge.

I am using ahmed fikry's 6.5 Kaiser ROM but do not seem to have had any problem with it so far. I also run Ubuntu and Android through HaRet.

This is from the "preview" version of the SDK, not even the full SDK that will be released (SDK = Software Developers Kit).

There is no Gmail app or other "Google Apps" included with the SDK's.....I've only seen Maps included.

Google Apps are proprietary and aren't available in either the SDK's or source (AOSP).

I know Motorola wanted to go for grip, and I assume they didn't want to go for plastic.. because apparently plastic=cheap, which isn't always entirely the truth.

In all honestly I cannot properly tell what the back of the Xoom is made out of.. it looks like rubber or something.. however, getting back to point. Judging from screen shots the back on the Xoom looks very irritating:

Before you go on to say "Of course it looks like that! A whole bunch of people were playing with the device!", regardless, it looks very prone to grease, fingerprints, etc etc. I don't understand why they couldn't have gone with a colored aluminum body (which is what it somewhat resembles already) with a teflon coating exactly like the Nexus One, which is almost entirely resistant to fingerprints (or is it because the Xoom is black they are so visible?).. it looks like one of those laptops where you have to clean off the top all the time because it becomes infested with hundreds of fingerprints and other grime that quickly become a nuisance.

Does anyone know what the Xoom's body is composed of?
[Xoom General] legato89:
Its the same rubber Googles CR-48 notebooks are made of. Just buy a skin for it.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Thanks for the blatant answer. Guess I will have to~
[Xoom General] sariugur:
i think they use that material for more stable surface. yes it cause more fingerprints but it will stay safer on tables or other surfaces and avoid scratches with different look than other devices.

plus, i dont think it'll get dirty that much and that soon with personal use...

I hate rubber coated plastic... Over the time the rubber will get sticky and peel off...
[Xoom General] Homan13PSU:
I know I for one will be getting a screen protector and gel case for this or whatever tablet I end up going with. I imagine MANY others will be doing the same and fingerprints on the back case will be a moot issue.
