Thx~
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] paspa86:
hi, an hard reset is intended only for restoring default option of the last flashed rom.

I suggest you to read the dummy guide for flahing.

You need the stock shipped rom for your touch hd. You can find it in the wiki section.

Then you have to flash that rom to restore your blackstone to "factory settings".

Bye,

Nicola
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
To flash a wm6.5 rom you need to put HSPL or USPL on your device first. If you want a rom based on 1.56 you'll need HSPL 1.56. If you want a rom based on 1.14 you'll need HSPL 1.14

Check out this thread for a step-by-step guide

Hi I have bought vibrant from ebay and using it for about week now

and it has serious battery problem

first of all

right now i am using official updated 2.2

but even before updating there was battery problem so it;s not 2.2 for sure

so i downloaded app called battery minder which gives me % and how many minutes left on my phone

so here is the problem comes when i fully charge my phone

no wifi, no blue tooth, no gps, data turned on it shows i have about like 6 hrs

and when i turn my wifi on and when it;s connected it says i have 18 hrs or something

and when i just turn my bluetooth on without wifi it gives me like 1 more hr from 6 hr so about 7 or 8

and when i make my phone to airplane mode it gives me 22 hrs or something

and the minutes showing on there it;s pretty accruate

so is there way to fix it? and even if there is way to fix it airplane mode and 22hrs i think that's way too little

or is that supposed to be

i don;t know how other ppls battery is so that's why i am posting here

please please help me

i love the phone but battery is just not right

and my point of view right now i do not think it;s the battery because when i turn my bluetooth on it gives me more hrs...

so please help me

i think longest i used in one day is like 8-9 hrs

when i didn;t really do anything with my phone...

maybe i played with it for like 1 hr maximum...

that's maximum usually 6 hrs or 5...

please please help

oh and i tried pulling my battery out and everything...

factory reset...

one last question if it is the battery if i change my battery get it from ebay or something which one should i get if i get those cheap ebay batteries will it damage my phone?

please help thank you so much
[General Questions and Answers] regP:
The battery drain was fixed for the Vibrant a few builds back. It should only be draining when your screen is on and you're actually using the phone. You may be expecting too much out of your phone. Those who report 14+ hours of use usually get that because they barely touch their phones all day or use it mostly for texting which takes very little battery life.

Dont rely on battery apps. Just use and enjoy your phone.. If you need, extra batteries are cheap online.
[General Questions and Answers] nixn88:
are those cheap batteries good?

will they damage my phone?

i see on ebay that like 3 batteries are like 10 dollars...

is that trustable?

and also i am not trying to expect too much it;s just that

when i turn my bluetooth on i get more hrs and i don;t know it;s just not right to me

and when i didn't use my phone at all i had like 40% after 12 hrs

when my friend uses iphone 4 and had 86%

is that why android sucks so much?
[General Questions and Answers] regP:
I have 2 ebay batteries and have had no problems with either.
[General Questions and Answers] nixn88:
thanks for that comment

i guess i will order but i still can;t figure out this battery problem..
[General Questions and Answers] regP:
You can try reflashing your ROM. But I really don't see a problem. Your phone has a super amoled screen which eats tones of battery. Being connected to 3g eats more battery than wifi, etc. You may just be expecting too much out of your phone tbh.
[General Questions and Answers] nixn88:
but that same for the iphone

my friend and i had class so oviously we couldn;t really use our phones

and after like 12 hrs later

he had 86%

and i had 40%

since i didn;t turn my screen on that much

that means i didn;t use the super amoled

and we both were using 3g

so atleast it should be somewhere near iphone
[General Questions and Answers] regP:
You can't make a direct comparison like that. Your phone and your friends phone have different operation systems, different amount of processes running, different hardware, and different batteries. Not to mention different signal strength which also effects battery life.
[General Questions and Answers] nixn88:
thank you for reply i understand what you are saying but

i just don't know

if it;s like 20 % difference i get it..

but 40%?

even though it;s different phoen and different system

it;s way too much..

you can compare mac and window with same spec

it;s not going to be that much different

40% shows me there is something wrong..
[General Questions and Answers] regP:
If that's what you wana believe. Maybe you should get an iPhone then. :rolleyes:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
Is it possible to make a custom ROM from an already running system? Some manufacturers don't update their phones (believe me, there are those minor companies that don't care at all), and users would be stuck to their stock ROM.

Soo, is it possible? Will copying all files from the root partition to the PC, modify with the usual tools, then zip, then flash, work?

Just curious :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] knzo:
It's possible to work with a nandroid if that's what you mean, yes.

By the way, you shouldn't underclock your Optimus. That'll drain more battery, trust me, I did the same.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kpbotbot:
How about not using a nandroid backup? I was thinking this would work because I had a look at the contents of the root directory of the phone, and then I had another look at a custom rom zip on my computer. I may sound stupid saying this, but I'm just curious xD

I've left the values as it is, but I forgot to update my sig. Anyway, thanks :) I uses the same power if the voltage isn't changed, right?

EDIT: About the ROM thing, I get it now. Never saw those .img files til now. Trying it out :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mrsurething:
I've got an HTC Touch Pro2 Tilt with WinMo 6.5 and all works there. I've fiddled with Android on my other HTC phones but they weren't far enough along with the porting to stay. I got XDAndroid last weekend and installed it. It works very well and would stay with it as primary except for 2 big issues:

1.) the clock looses time. In about 8 hours, it will be off more than 30min. I don't have system time turned on because I live too close to a time change line and it's really annoying not knowing what time you're looking at. I just want it to stay on one time zone.

2.) when using the phone, if I open the on-screen dial pad to type in a persons extension number, the speaker will start buzzing very loudly and the only way to get it to stop is to end the call.

of course the BT and the Camera doesn't work either but they already said that's in works so I'll keep my eyes on that as well but those aren't show stoppers. Any help anyone has is appreciated.

If I breach the sprint contract.. pay them whatever the penalty... Do i still own the Evo??? If so, can I sell it assuming that it's gonna have a clean ESN??

thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRELUDE777:
yes you will bw just fine
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZachPA:
You own your EVO no matter what your actions are. The contract you signed with Sprint merely says you agree to carry Sprint service until it expires. If you don't fulfill the terms of the agreement, Sprint charges an Early Termination Fee and whether you pay it or not, you still own your EVO with a clean ESN.

When you cancel your account, you have to pay your bill (including ETF) before the ESN is released. If you don't pay your bill, the ESN will be flagged.

What more roms would you need? You have plain Vanilla Android (CM), Sense Based (Virtuous)...myTouch roms are a bit like Sense based with a sprinkle of TMo's customizing.

Then you also have the iPhone-ish type from MIUI which is completely different beast in it's own. In my experience with CM and Virtuous both make the G2 run nice and smooth without glitches. I personally would rather have a few roms that run great vs a ton that run like crap

EDIT...oh and forgot about Gingerbread...that's GingerVillian and I think there's a CM version somewhere...but that's with a OS that's not officially out yet
[A7 General] jingo5:
Hi all. Received my Elocity A7 today, thanks to Dexter put the 1.1c rom for Market place and started poking around.

SSH into the device and noticed that it identifies the following chipset for an input device:

<6>[ 6.728802] NAZ10 touch: CY8CTMG120 Ver 1.8

<6>[ 6.733171] input: Cypress CY8CTMG120 1.8 as /devices/virtual/input/input2

Review of the Data sheet for this controller identifies it as a multi touch gesture touchscreen.

Google CY8CTMG120.html to review the first datasheet by Cypress Semiconductor.

Single-Touch : Y

Multi-Touch Gesture : Y

Multi-Touch All-Point : N

Did we ever get confirmation as to what was the limitation for not receiving multi touch?
[A7 General] DroidxRage:
I would love to see something made of this.
[A7 General] robbbzilla:
Don't let this thread die!!

I second that!! If this screen has basic multi-touch functionality lets find out and exploit it!! Seems that is one of the major problems with this device and if it were simply a software limitation then we are not out of the ballgame yet. When I do a google search of the above listed screen it says it is multi-touch for sure. it says 1-1 multi-touch and gesture. It does not say anything less?? Very interesting. Maybe instead of Honeycomb being a problem it may turn out better as it may just use the screen as designed by default!

Saw a clip of Honeycomb and it looks really amazing!! We are all going to want it when it comes out!! So I figure I am going to enjoy my tab for what it is now and in a year I will upgrade. By then there should be a several good devices running Honeycomb to choose from.

I have to say I really enjoy my tab and it would be really great if I could put 2.3 or 3.0 on it.

[A7 General] jingo5:
Unfortunately I have stopped looking into this as I have returned my tablet. I find the android OS too fragmented for universal support between platforms and the OS environment not as friendly as I would like.

This is not a dig against the Elocity A7. I will say that it's a good tablet for ereading/web surfing and has the hardware to back it up. Even with multitouch enabled I can not say I would be satisfied with my user experience.

Sorry all. WebOS fanboy at heart.
[A7 General] tjc2k4:
Sorry to hear you returned your A7.

To answer your original question though, I do think this is a hardware limitation based on the controller used. The datasheet says it supports Single Touch and Multi-Touch Gesture, which means it will recognize only one touch, but also pinch-to-zoom, and some other gestures. It does not support Multi-Touch All-Point which is "true multitouch".
[A7 General] Marbieskarb:
Some user over @ androidtablets.net found that the LCD in the eLocity A7 is identical to the LCD in the Archos 70, which is a multi-touch screen. I don't know how true this is but it seems very interesting and I wanted to point it out.

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/elocity-tablets/12405-elocity-a7-display.html

Now, I always felt that the LCD screen itself in the A7 was "true" multi-touch CAPABLE but, with the current LCD driver it has been disabled. Also, I believe that this is one of the reasons that Stream TV is reluctant to release the kernel source because then it would only be a matter of time before somebody hacks into it and we get "true" multi-touch working (like it should have been in the first place.) And that might hurt sales for the 2nd generation A7 because the only real difference is the screen resolution especially if the 1st generation A7 gets "true" multi-touch.

But, I could be wrong in my assertion and maybe its just wishful thinking because to be honest, all the A7 is lacking IMO is "true" multi-touch.
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE will everyone Marbieskarb read the information that has already been posted and reposted on this subject.

THE LIMITATION IS THE CONTROLLER ITSELF. It does not support multi touch, it only supports a dumbed down gesture system.

This is NOT a screen limitation.

This is NOT a driver limitation.

There is NO workaround.

It is NOT somehow disabled.

Actual multi touch is what Cypress refers to as "Multi-touch all-point" in their data sheet. It is not going to happen. Ever.
[G Tablet General] Mixta:
I am in the market to buy a new tablet but I have been looking between archos and a viewsonic. I want to stick with a 10 inch screen but I would like to get the most bang for my buck right now my spending limit about 400 dollars.

I am aware that the g tablet has a nvidia dual core processor which is fairly appealing. However I wanted to get some input from people that have had hands on experience with those tablets. Are there any new tablets I should hold out for or what would you people suggest thank you for your help.
[G Tablet General] stiphy:
I own both and will probably sell one of them. I'm still deciding, but leaning in favor of the Gtablet. I plan to post a full comparison on my blog (http://www.blendblog.net) where I reviewed the Archos 101 already.

A quick summary though is as follows:

GTablet performs much better. I've not had to worry about memory whereas on the Archos I've often had to manually kill apps to get the device to stay responsive.

The Gtablet is built better. The screen is slightly better, viewing angles are bad on both but the Archos screen feels like you are tapping on cheap plastic wheras the Gtablet feels like solid glass. The tradeoff is that the Gtablet is MUCH heavier, and bigger.

Both of them have very good speakers.

The fiddle factor with the Gtablet is much higher, but if you are here you probably know that. You must root and rom the device, although that is not a tough thing to do. However, I have spent countless hours with mine trying to get it to wake from sleep correctly, an issue many have. I finally figured out a workaround that fixes the issue at the expense of battery life. It seems that some units just have issues waking from sleep, I may still exchange mine because of this.

Build consistency seems to be a bit sketchy on both fronts. The aforementioned sleep issue has bitten me on the GTablet and my Archos has been RMA'd (their support was excellent though) due to a huge stuck blue pixel in the display that was horrible looking.

Archos has one big leg up on the Gtablet and that's video support. It will play anything I throw at it (I did have to buy a $15 AC3/MPEG2 codec package though). The stock video player is much sleeker as well integrating movie descriptions etc. With the Gtablet you are left with the usual hodgepodge of Android video players that don't work with everything etc.

Google was somewhat right in saying Android wasn't ready for "primetime" but I have to say, I find these devices very fun to play with and use on a day to day basis.

I am definitely leaning towards keeping the Gtablet and selling the Archos when I get it back from RMA. The speed advantage of Gtablet is noticeable and with this excellent hacking community in place I feel like there is a much better chance of it being relevant (Honeycomb?) going forward than with the Archos.

I hope this helps!

Where are the codecs for g tablet to match Archos ???

This lack is confusing given the fact that we know tetra 2 is superior. It would seem that xoom will support many popular video codecs when it comes out in Feb!
[G Tablet General] lcyn:
Archos vs

I own both tablets, and can say without reservation that the G tablet is superior in many ways. It is a much more solid build ( although about 8 oz heavier)

The G tablet is much faster with the Custom Roms. I have had a number of Archos devices, and have been pleased with them, but after owning the G tablet, with its open nature and ability to modify, I will never opt for such a closed off device like the Archos again. Don't get me wrong- it is a good device, but it lacks the potential of the G tablet.
[G Tablet General] snipestech:
I have the gtablet running Vegan 5

I have no problems playing videos at all using vplayer, rock player and even es explorer has a pretty good player. I played with 101 archos not bad but looks cheap next to the g tab, also as a long time fan of NVIDIA I knew it was going to fast!
[G Tablet General] geoffreywolter:
I haven't used the Archos, but I was in your exact position a little over a month ago, ultimately I choose to check out the G-Tab because I could pick one up locally and return it in 30 days if I didn't like it. I have to say that at first I wasn't pleased with it overall, but that changed as soon as I started flashing some of the amazing ROMs available here on XDA. I'm not new to flashing my devices, but even if this had been a first time experience for me I doubt I'd have had any problems. Follow steps carefully and you can't go wrong, if you have a question it's most likely already been asked by someone before you, so just search the forums and you'll find the answer quick enough. Long story short the G-Tab would be a real dog of a product if it weren't for this amazing community of developers, but because of them I think it's got a future, a fairly bright one at that. I love my G-Tab more and more everyday, and as of now I do not regret purchasing it.
[G Tablet General] stiphy:
Mine's running the same configuration. Do you have anything with audio encoded in AC-3 Dolby Digital? I ripped all my DVD's to my media server using h.264 for video but leaving the original surround sound audio in place. On the Archos I could play those files with the $15 MPEG2/AC-3 plug-in. I have not been able to find a video player yet that does this for my Gtablet (tried ES and Rock amongst others) but I haven't tried the VitalPlayer that theindependent recommended. I'll post back when I get a chance to try that player, it may solve this issue somewhat.

[G Tablet General] stanglx:
Same here... Once I did a little more research I found that the Archos 101 had the exact same viewing angle issues with a crappier plastic feeling screen. When you couple that with 256 meg ram and Single Core design it was a simple decision for me.. I figured if I couldnt have an iPAD equivilant screen then I would go with what is future proof. The only real option is the 7inch which every states viewing angles are good - but was still concerned with the future use of the hardware and resale value (at that time). Dual core Tegra's in about 6 - 12 months will hold their value significantly higher than a 256 meg / single core device. By then I see better screens coming out and will upgrade then.

Till then... Im loving the decision - I also agree I was very upset the first few hours until I got the custom rom, kernel, launcher and other apps all up and running..
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Great summary! I expect video support to get a lot better once Nvidia finally releases final drivers. Kind of have too, with all the T2's coming out soon.

In a nutshell, if higher def video is not 90% of the reason you are getting a tablet, the Gtablet is a FAR better choice than the Archos 101. Also, the Archos 101 has a few glaring problems besides a much slower chipset:

1. 230mb of device app space. Gtablet has eight times more space

2. 256mb ram (contant performance battle unless just using for video)
