[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kugeln:
I'm having an odd problem. When my G2 is sleeping (screen off, not charging) the backlight intermittently turns on and off. I'm currently running a CM7 nightly (#21) but have attempted to troubleshoot this by flashing several (non-CM7) ROMs, and the problem remains.

I've been unable to see anything in a logcat dump showing the screen or backlight activity.

Another symptom is that pressing any of the "hard" buttons (besides power) cause the backlight to momentarily activate, then turn off.

It behaves this way in any mode--airplane, wifi on/off, bluetooth on/off.

Otherwise everything else seems to function normally--as long as the screen is supposed to be on, it's great. Sitting on the table or nightstand flashing the backlight all night, no so much.

Anyone else had this problem, or is it time to start hunting for a "donor" device?
[Streak 5 General] dinohaven:
So..I tried to go from 1.5.3 to 1.6.1....and have failed....miserably. I am getting to the funky "Energy Star" screen....the then shows an ASCII version of the Android robot and then freezes. Sometimes it freezes in other areas...but for some reason, it appears that I am being thrown around in that setup screen....

The Good News:

I can still get to ClockworkMod Recovery

I can still fastboot.

Any suggestions on how I can get my Streak back up and running...I am ready to go to factory default if it will get me out of this viscious cycle...but I need some guidance here....there is a $20 PayPal gift to anyone who can help me out!!!

Thanks,

Chris
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Can you install 1.5.1 using clockwork, do a factory reset after booting 1.5.1 once and then install 1.61? streakdroid.com won't load for me right now or I would post a link, but see the 1.6.1 install guide there.

Edit: clear the cache before installing 1.6.1
[Streak 5 General] tonyonhtchd2:
install 1.5.3 then 1.6.1 i had same problem make sure you was on 2.2 froyo stock first if not install this the n 1.5.3 then 1.6.1
[Streak 5 General] dinohaven:
**Update**

Marvin -

Would I enter the following command?

fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.1.zip
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I wasn't suggesting you use fastboot, I was suggesting you use Clockwork. Your first post says you can still get to recovery.

Follow this guide

Here's an abbreviated version:

Download streakdroid 1.5.1 from downloads.streakdroid.com/djsteve if you do not already have it,

Flash this to your streak using clockwork/streakmod

Factory reset using the dell screen (4 option menu)

Let device boot up completely

Now:

Download Update-1.6.1.zip from the links below

Place Zip file into Root of SD Card

Make a text file and type in the options you would like to chose as shown above.

Save file under SDCard>install.txt

Boot into StreakMod or Clockwork Recovery

Select Update from Zip File > Select Zip File From SD Card > StreakDroid_1-6.Zip

Wait for installation.

First Boot may take longer than a normal boot. Things are being installed, stuff is being generated. Patience.

Enjoy.

I recommend that you wipe the cache before you install 1.6.1 (it's in the recovery menu)
[Streak 5 General] dinohaven:
Downloaded 1.5.1

All - I have downloaded 1.5.1 and tried to flash it using the following command:

fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.3.zip

When I do this, I get the following error:

archive does not contain "android-info.txt"

archive does not contain "android-product.txt"

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Also - QDL Tool...I have been looking on the forums and can't seem to find a place to download this tool...can someone point me the right direction for this file?

Getting There Marvin...

Marvin,

I downloaded streakdroid 1.5.1 no problem...

The problem is, how do I get that file to my phone so that I can use clockwork???

This is really where I am stuck. If I get get the .zip file over to the phone, I will use clockwork...any assistance here on the command to move the .zip from my computer to the phone would be REALLY appreciated...we are close...
[Streak 5 General] nickshertzer:
Use a card reader to direct copy 1.5.1 and 1.6.1 over to SDCARD.

Fastboot is for flashing recovery, not the ROM. Use StreakMod recovery instead of Clockwork if you want working nAndroid backups.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=840326

Read through everything here:

http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92

marvin02 is dead on with install instructions. So to recap: you DO NOT enter fastboot -i 0x413c update update-1.5.3.zip. You use fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

Then you boot into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING, INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD (1.5.1), reboot to recovery, WIPE EVERYTHING ( Factory Reset,Cache, Dalvik), Install ZIP from SDCARD (1.6.1 with the CFG file already in place) and then wait on first boot. It will appear to hang on "Initializing" BIOS screen for at least 10 - 15 minutes to build cache and perfmod.

Or, QDL Tool to pre-release Froyo 2.2 http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=15&did=8
[Streak 5 General] vasishta.sushant:
I was stuck at the same damn thing while updating to staves 1.6.1

All I did was boot in streakrecovery. Clear David cache. Flashed stock recovery, that 913 thing. Updated to 318 package.from dell and got my device boot into stock froyo.

Do not worry. Its scary but you sure can get that thing back.
[Streak 5 General] dinohaven:
Getting Closer (at least I thought)

So...I was able to get into 1.5.1 for a little while (like...20 minutes before I fuasdfhsfaked it up again). I was at StreakDroid's "Step 3"...doing a factory reset...

NOW...my dell streak is stuck in a loop, it displays this for about 10 seconds:

Factory Reset start, please wait . . .

then BRIEFLY says:

Please wait for reboot

Then it loops over and over and over and over again...until I ultimately take out the battery...anyone run into this issue???!

Man...I am loosing it...maybe flashing isn't my cup of tea....

Any help would be appreciated.

By the way....I have already tried to simply re-install the 1.5.1 and also tried to do another factory reset...it is STUCK.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
dinohaven,

Are you using Streakmod recovery or Clockwork?

Try flashing the Streakmod recovery if you're using Clockwork.

Boot into recovery and clear the cache partition

Now select advanced and then wipe the Dalvik cache

reinstall 1.51 and see if it will boot. (use the back key to get out of advanced)

If 1.5.1 boots then go back into recovery and do a factory reset

Now you are ready to install 1.6.1

The advanced menu in recovery is where you can mount the SD card via usb so that you can copy files from your computer if you need to.
[Streak 5 General] dinohaven:
**Update&**

Marvin -

I am using the Streakmod recovery....I switched recovery modes to get 1.5.1 install on the SD. I went through each of your steps...and it STILL brings up that never ending loop....it is truly stuck in reboot mode for some reason....It says it is going to factory reset...then restarts and then goes back to saying that it is factory resetting....a never ending loop...
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
dinohaven,

My only recommendation at this point would be to go to streakdroid.com and watch the QDLTool tutorial and use that. I believe the DL at streakdroid gets your phone to 2.2 baseband 305. You should be able to install 1.6..1 from there.

I have never used the QDLTool.
[Streak 5 General] dinohaven:
Yea...

Yea..that is the direction I look to be heading...I tried to install everything on my Vista 64 machine and then discovered that it isn't friendly to that machine!!! So I am having to set everything up on an XP machine...man, I hope this works! I will post the result tonight...
[Streak 5 General] sahirhussain:
it happened to me also and i went so mad that i even thought about selling my streak for 1/4th price in the grey market but good sense prevailed and i decided to do some more researching (QDL tool was too much info). what i did was that i flashed the new stock recovery(this is very important as there was some problem with the old recovery if the device was rooted and cwm recovery installed) (i dont remember the name or post where i downloaded it from) and installed the stock froyo update pkg from sd card.
[Android Software Development] rastanthology:
Hello, I'm developing an application that uses tapatalk xmlrpc api to get the content of some forums. I've just reached the point where the user gets to the posts and I stumbled with this particular problem.

I get the text of each post and put it on a textview. After that I put it in a textview on a list. The text contains the BBCode of the forum. By this I mean it contains text such as "[URL...", quotes, etc. I want to do as it is done on xda app; there if there is a link it is displayed as a link and it can be clicked, if there is a quote it is displayed as a quote.

I was hoping to get some guidelines on how to achieve this. I haven't worked with BBCode before. All I could think of is parsing the text with string attributes such as .contains, .split, etc. And even if I do that and separate everything then I have to join everything back again, put clicklisteners on different parts of the text, etc; and for now I'm clueless on how to achieve that. But I think there should be an easier way and, since that is solved on the xda app, I was hoping that someone here gets me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

I am pretty sure even if Geohot does enter the Android Scene (Which seems extremely unlikely IMO, else he would have already), he wont concentrate his efforts on a low end model like the Wildfire.

you can go to that person's profile, and in the user lists drop down, add them to your ignore list. It'll just block out anything they have posted, but it'll still show you a little placeholder that they did post there. Threads they start are also still visible in the thread index.

[Vibrant Android Development] eugene373:
Using the Phone was never the Problem.. It was while you wasn't using it :D

The Power Management was screwed up and a few other things.

Regarding Disabling Voodoo Kernel, not Sure EXT4 is Supported but I've not Flashed it over a Voodoo Kernel though.. Worst case you would need to odin, I would wait for somebody to post result of a direct flash over before doing so.. Unless you don't mind ODIN just for testing purpose.

I just flashed it, but I forgot if I had voodoo enabled or not, when I went to the lagfix menu, it said everything was in ext4, so I *think* I had voodoo enabled and it flashed fine. Just disable for safety precautions.

Also, this has the same CWM as the i9000 with the different lagfix options. It superceded the red voodoo recovery with that recovery.

If you're on Verizon (or any CDMA carrier), the only way you could do it would be if your data connection was via Wi-Fi. CDMA networks do not support both voice and data at the same time (although there's hope with the HTC Thunderbolt 4G device soon to be released).

I lose a lot of battery when my phone's on standby.

This time I lost 12 percent in like three hours, and the phone was doing nothing. That can't be normal can it. Any solutions please.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
honestly that sucks lol

i fell asleep at 41% and woke up 8 hours later at 39%. but i have setcpu to run at 245 min, 384 max while screen is off so my phone cant use much battery.

and really no background tasks.

hmm. ur problem may be that ur phone loses service for long amounts of time, and wastes battery looking for service ? or background data sync maybe ?

or maybe an app that isnt letting ur phone sleep?

look into those 3 if u havent.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunalgahlot:
turn 3G off

go to running services and close applications from there instead of using ATK

do a experiment- put your phone on airplane mode and go to sleep,check how much battery you have drained in 8 hours, if it is 10% then something is not right :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante2086:

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
my set cpu is set at 70 as i wasnt sure what i should put so i just moved it up a little haha. but i mean if my phone is on standy and loses only 2% after 8 hours or so then i'd say thats fine.

my data is always on.

today using freex10 2.2.1 rom with data on all day (3.5g aka "H") and using my phone( texting gps maps web gallery etc) i lost only 27% after 9 hours.

maybe my battery situation is just lucky ? idk lol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunalgahlot:
i leave it at 90
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
cant see how that would hurt at all.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus-SonyXperiaSupport:
Try starting the phone in safe mode and keep the phone in this mode without starting any applications for at least couple of hours. Compare the battery level after these hours with what you usually get.

Data traffic is usually the big reason for draining batteries and it's often 3rd party apps that use the data.

When the phone is powered off, start the phone as usual with the on/off button. When you see the Sony Ericsson logo, press and hold the Menu key until the phone starts up. You will be able to use the phone just as usual when in safe mode but the phone will not load any apps installed by you (unless you start them - which you should not for a few hours).

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalundone:
First, which baseband are you on?

I think it's 1 of 2 things.

1) A 3rd party app in the background

2) Reception

•specifically, if you're in an area of low reception, the radio will increase its output to get you a better signal. At work, my reception is iffy (newer building). Under my old baseband, it would change from H to Edge constantly... About every 10 seconds or so. In 10 hours I would go from 100% to ~60%. The new baseband stays in Edge a lot more but my battery life seems to be far better.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dante2086:
Okay, what's a baseband, and what does it do.

And yes, when I'm home, and in school, my phone keeps switching between Hsdpa and EDGE.

What baseband do I switch to, if I have to.

My baseband is 2.1.54.

my evo is a lil over a month old and the speaker is blown...the loud speaker in the back of the phone...when i have the volume up it sounds terrible...like a blown house/car speaker...is it hard to change? or should i unroot the phone and take it to sprint?

Yeah that's what I would do. When I had my front earpiece blown I took it to the sprint store and they replaced it while I waited. I would bring a book, because it took over an hour.
[EVO 4G General] 92bubble:
so i do have to have it unrooted to get it fixed?
[EVO 4G General] evired:
Its not hard to change but the rear speakers seem to be of cheap quality. If you reallly want a good sound output try looking up the x mini 2 portable speaker. As for the rear speaker all you need is a t5 torx driver bit to open the screws on the back.
