This might work!

I was reading through some Samsung Intercept forums for you and this looks promising:

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/int...e-to-froyo-2-2-with-no-baseband-modification/

Go through the first three steps and flash the stock 2.1 on to your phone and it should be restored to basic regular Android 2.1. It IS sprint's stock 2.1 for intercept not Virgin Mobile's but its ok because it doesn't replace Virgin Mobile's Baseband so its fine. Instead of seeing the Virgin Mobile boot up screen, it will show you a sprint boot up screen. No biggie.

Try it and tell me how it goes. remember to follow instructions carefully and to the tee.

OK NOW IM ON SPRINT 2.1 and my number works and now im going to try upgrading to 2.2 show i try doing it over the air or just do it manually?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jefe1026:
i just did it manually now im going to try to root it :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jefe1026:
now how do i get superuser and all that good stuff with the roms i dont like the slapstick 1.4
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ce300:
Is that possible? Car Thief 6 is PC game that dont need massiv computer and have very simply made game. Is any emulator or something for that?

Game is that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ce300:
I know Quake 3 is ported PC to Android. Put about this game?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] t1mman:
Quake 3 is already ported to Linux, that's why you have it on android. It's not a port from Windows
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ce300:
But what about doom and duke nukem these are PC games but they can run in android.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] t1mman:
Both has been ported to linux first. You can always google "name_of_game linux" to see if it has been ported to linux already

The only other way I can think of is with "wine" wich emulates PC on Linux. I don't know if it is powerfull enough and I don't know if it is ported on Android niether.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ce300:
Is any luck for that? Can now play Car Thief 6 on andorid phone?
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
My phone dies so quickly it's not even funny. ~20% in 1 hr even after just barely using it.

- Using Android (CoreDroid Nand)

- Bought it second hand, but I've had it for about 4 months.

Should I get a new OEM battery? or is this just normal?
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
That's not normal amigo.

Get CurrentWidget from the market and see how man mAh it's using, even when the screen's off. Can help diagnose the issue more clearly then.
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
Have done, and it's often hovering between 4-6 ma during screen off, otherwise, when just playing with animations, it stays below 300-350 ma.
[HD2 Accessories] ionbasa:
yes you need a new battery. on android my battery lasts from 24-36 hours depending on how much I use the phone.
[HD2 Accessories] TheATHEiST:
wrap it up so no moisture can get in then put it in deep freeze over night or 24h, take it out and then let it thaw at room temp and then charge to full.

In some cases this will work and has worked for me on a laptop battery and a phone I had a few years back. They used to die after a hour or so and then after freezing they was back to normal for a good while.

If it works or you get a new battery always make sure never to put it on charge unless its nearly dead, ie 1-5% or max of 10%. If you keep on putting batteries on charge when they are not dead this f*cks them up as some battery types have a sort of memory.
[HD2 Accessories] olyloh6696:
Yeh , i learnt that in my physics class too :P Make sure that there is no condensation when you put the battery back in the phone.. it could spoil the internals!
[HD2 Accessories] buzz killington:
Those actually sound normal. What you should do is check how much juice the battery is retaining. Let it charge fully - charge until current widget is reporting single digit charge. Use spare parts to check the battery information. If it's significantly less than 4200mv at full charge then try to wipe the batterystats.bin from /data/system, reboot and charge again. If it's still very low voltage then you need a new battery.
[HD2 Accessories] LaneyEFC:
sorry but what battery are you using ive not long had a Andida 1600mah my phone last for 24 hours max on winmo but when i have android running it last for about 5/6 hours straight with berely touching my phone.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
NiCad had memory problems like this, but NiMh and LiIon are not supposed to have this issue.
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
TY, am surprised at that usage time cos since I've got it, it's never lasted more than half a day.

Ty, will try this

I always wipe batterystats when flashing a new rom, and it's pretty much at 4.2 - 4.22 at full charge
[HD2 Accessories] zarathustrax:
My sd android builds will last 24-36 hours if I don't hardly use it and keep it on standby... that's with getting 4-6ma drain. If I use it, though, it will only last 4-6 hour of straight use, depending on what you're doing. That's with 150-350ma drain during use. So with normal use I can usually make it through a 12-18hr day before charging. I usually carry a spare battery with me just in case though.

Normally, Li-ion batteries life-span is around 300 charges before they start degrading and not holding a charge as well... so if the battery has been used a year, it's probably time for a new battery.
[HD2 Accessories] AntonJart:
I think this is a great topic. My battery uses about ~350 mA on just browsing internet, and dies within several hours (about 3). At 100% charge it says 4202 mV in spare parts, but dropped to 99% and 4138 mV within next minute. In another nibute it dropped to 98% and 4108 mV. It means battery not holding charge well? Stats were wiped before flashing
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Three hours of browsing is not bad - but three hours of continuous screen turned on is a sure battery killer. Have you set your screen to a dim setting, or is it bright?
[HD2 Accessories] Derek0228:
My battery dies very quickly too, about 4 hours on Android, with heavy usage, and about 2 hours on WP7 :eek: :eek:

I have the official extended battery, though, and also the Cheap Chinese one, so i have backup (:
[HD2 Accessories] AntonJart:
Depends. I often keep it on auto. The place I work has very bright lights. I read a lot about HD2 Before I got it. Powerful phone with a tiny battery. On the stand by it actually isnt bad. Eats about less than 1% per hour. With little use, texts and calls, it can last quite a long time. I asume my battery is fine.

What is your mV reading at 100% and less than that?
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Dunno. I don't generally check that kind of data. My phone is at 69% right now, mAh is 8694.

NRG ROM includes tBattery. This particular battery showed 12296 MaH at full power, but this is only the first discharge cycle for the battery.
[HD2 Accessories] salonluden:
Not true man. On NiMH rechargable batteries (those are really old - I've never actually seen them in phones although I'm sure they were used sometimes... I still see some AA batteries of that kind laying around though) have a memory effect and get screwed if you charge them without depleting the battery life first.

However, we have Li-Io batteries - which, although there's been a lot of controversy, it is basically agreed upon that either it doesn't matter when it's charged or it is actually better NOT to fully discharge (except for around once a month in order to calibrate the battery).

But the freezing the battery thing is pretty cool! I have to try that on a friend's laptop battery that got screwed up!
[HD2 Accessories] Curious!:
that is way beyond normal. change your build.
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
Have done (flash one every couple of days), and still the same problem, also tried what TheAthiest said, but didn't make a dent.
[HD2 Accessories] Swenny:
Would Task29 make a difference for this person? Just throwing that out there
[HD2 Accessories] HectiQ:
flash back to stock rom (no need to use sd method)

so you don't have to reinstall hspl then, just a stock rom

then install radio 2.10.50.x

then install magldr

then install your rom of choice :)

let the phone charge, and when it 's fully charged, just reboot it once (clearing all background apps) and making a bootcycle for the first time can be necessary.

after that, you'll be suprised - one tip, set screen brightness to 50% (which is more than enough in these dark times :p)
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
Have tried it, but hasn't made any difference :(.

I don't understand the need for the first step? but I'll try that radio:).

PS. I set my screen brightness to 20% - 30%

I did get an extended battery when I bought the phone thinking that I didn't care how the phone looked as long as it lasted, but after getting it, I completely changed my mind, and couldn't bear using it especially since my pocket is not very large. If this doesn't work, I'll another stock battery, and if that doesn't work, I'll underclock to 245 Mhz and use it.
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
Does anyone know where I can get something like powerskin in the uk?

ie. a battery case?

Or, at the very least, is there some type of hard shell case I can use for the extended battery without have putting on the massive batter cover?
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
I was just looking at the PowerSkin, apparently it isn't made for the HD2. I found HD7 and Iphone models.
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
This guy put up a vid showing the HD7 model working on the HD2:

Youtube Vid
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
So, from the poll, it looks like everyone's battery last about 2 - 3 times more than mine.

Oh and, the stock battery I have seems to be able to charge in 1 hr (through wall charger) - shows how much capacity it really has -.-
[HD2 Accessories] johnerz:
It does matter on what rom, and what you have running on the rom. Like you I'm on Core Droid and like it. My battery life is under 24 hours with wifi on but much better with it off.

On Win Mo I used Indee rom, now the battery live on his roms is fantastic - much better than stock and the wifi was 24/7 then, but droid is my current and immediate future, followed by Win 7 just to see of course.
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
So far, the polls are shocking to me!, I never imagined being about to get 13hrs+ on this phone!
[HD2 Accessories] stealth21:
I have the same problem!

My battery was %100 in the morning, now its 11 o'clock but the battery is 60% it wont even last till the evening.

All i did was just message a friend and uninstall some applications. in 30 minutes the battery has gone 40%

current widget says that 4-6 mA is the idle drainage when off..

but 250-350mA is when screen is on..

So new battery ?

How do we wipe the battery stats?

I cannot see the directories mentioned above!

By the way another nb question :(

i'm new at android, where can i also see what the mv value of mt battery is ..

Thank you ..
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
1) If you're using clockwork, you'll find it under advanced settings "Wipe Battery Stats".

2) If not, open terminal emulator and enter this : rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

3) For the battery voltage, you can use "Battery Indicator" which you can find in the market
[HD2 Accessories] stealth21:
Thank you very much @Moon2..

About the terminal emulator, i have no idea what it is..
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
Search for it on the Android Market
[HD2 Accessories] stealth21:
Mine one is fully charged at 4196mv..

Ane its empty battery value is 3650mv.

I gotta ask something, can i erase that batterystats.bin although i'm not flashing a new os?

Will Android create a new one and configure it with optimised settings or i do have to flash a new os to have the file written..
[HD2 Accessories] hrockh:
To reset properly the batt stats you should:

1. charge fully with android/wp7/winmo

2. boot into bootloader

3. leave it there for around one hour, as it takes quite long to reach 100.00%

gd luck! xD
[Click General] palimpala:
hej.

i want to buy a new sd-card.because 2 gb is not enough for me.

my phone is already rooted and flashed.

do i need something to do with my new sd-card or can i just put it in and everything will work?

thanks to that person who can solve my question:)
[Click General] palimpala:
problem solved.thread can be closed:)
[Click General] Alexandrea:
was that a yes or no? :)
[Click General] palimpala:
i just put it in and everything worked.app2sd and other stuff.

maybe i had luck and you dont have to do anything or maybe you have to change something with your sd-card.but i hadnt any problems.

if someone knows it better than he can still answer the first question:)
[Click General] yatindroid:
answer is NO

in normal condition you need to not anything (if already rooted)

but when u want root, u need to transform to gold card

or make ext partition for app2sd
[Click General] Alexandrea:
figured out thats a yes you can replace if your able to copy all stuff you installd on app2sd before to new one or if make backup :)

So coming from a short line of PocketPC and Windows Mobile devices, I thought I would come over here and ask for some votes! Windows Phone is pitted agains WebOS for best Operating System.

http://blog.laptopmag.com/os-bowl-final-webos-vs-windows-phone-7-voting-ends-tuesday-28-at-9-a-m

Barring the fact that if Windows Mobile was included in the bracket showdown, there might be a different final outcome, I was wondering why the vote was so close 50/50.

Then I realized that Palm/HP had its whole community behind it and maybe Microsoft was split between Windows Mobile and Windows Phone.

So this is just trying to push a little more voting support from our half-brother from the same Windows CE based father and community.

If I flash back to stock rom, will they be able to tell that I have flashed other roms?

I'm considering trying to get a replacement due to random shut downs. My work has me on call and sometimes I pick up my phone and I don't know how long it's been off. My employees often text me important stuff from the job. So this is important to me.

So will they be able to tell?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Nope, make sure to master clear and then get the JH7 update to be sure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappyandroid:
Agreed.

Though I suggest you hold out for another week or two and have them replace it for the Inspire. I'm going to do that soon, and speak to their 'Android specialists' about it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandalay22222:
Two things I don't like about that phone are the size (it's huge) and the lcd screen. I don't think I could go to an lcd after using samoled.

Plus, how would that work. I have a 2 year commitment with this phone, how could I trade for that one. I'm well past my trial period.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bms231:
did you buy phone insurance? u coulda always just drop the phone and bust the screen.

if not, flash back to stock and the n00bs in the store wont know the difference. however, if you are well past your trial period, att is gonna send you to samsung more than likely. at least that is what they tried to do with me. my first captivate shut down every time i got a text message.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappyandroid:
If you're insisting on switching phones, contact warranty and they'll send you another one. After they've sent you two Captivates, you are within your rights to ask for a different make and model. If they don't comply just ask for the Resolutions team, and they'll help you out.

I have tried everything in my toolkit to get the Dexter Mod installed on my A7...the new firmware update worked fine, but when i follow the steps for the Dexter mod..in recovery mode, i get a message that says:

Install from sdcard

Finding update package

Opening update package

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

(no such file or directory)

Installation aborted

Formatting MISC...

I even downloaded the Dexter Mod from my computer at work yesterday and brought it home to try to no avail...

Why isn't this working?

Is there another place I can download the Dexter Mod 11 from to get a different file..

How can I be sure I am in the root directory of the sdcard?

I realize i am brand new at this, and i am willing to do the work, but really I am disappointed the the mod will not install..

also, I noticed that when I ran the firmware update, a few programs that I had downloaded were erased...how do i back program up on the A7 so they are not lost
[A7 General] kingjf54:
Another question

Is in necessary to install the previos Dexter mods before the 11?
[A7 General] jazzbone:
No, you don't need to download the previous ROMs first.

Your download may be corrupted. That happens a lot with large files.

This one is over 90MB.

Getright is a free download manager that helps with this issue.

Get it here:

Try that and let us know if it works for you.
[A7 General] fd3sblue:
I installed update.zip from the root directory of sd card (nothing on sd card except Update.zip), from within settings> about> update firmware.

It will go through the steps and boot loop.

U then hold off for 15 secs, then turn on for 3secs, let go and hold till it says > loading boot kernel ( recovery mode), then wipe cache and settings.

Done!!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Although I rooted my own Desire back in May of last year, I have since moved on to a different phone and hence stopped following development etc for the Desire.

I have a work colleague who would like the benefits of a rooted, custom ROM but he has no experience in phone-modifying. He basically wants better battery life (so SetCPU would do the job for that) and more space for apps (Apps2SD the original, not Google's implementation). On top of that I'm sure he would probably enjoy the enhancements of the new Sense ROMs as well.

When I rooted my own Desire it was back in the days of fake-flash and I don't think my Desire was ever S-OFFed - I only had a moderate understanding of what I was doing, and there were a few brown trouser moments as I recall!

What I'm looking for is a complete guide start to finish of the easiest, least risky way to currently root a Desire and install custom recovery (presumably ClockworkMod & Rom Manager are standard for the Desire still?).

I've looked around the forums and found guides which explain some of it, however these threads run into 30, 40, 50+ pages which I think is a bit much reading if you don't really understand what you're reading about. Luckily I have an interest in it, but to my colleague it's just a means to an end, to get his phone working in a decent manner! Unsurprisingly, he is not interested in learning how a combustion engine works in order to drive his car either.

So, can someone write me a FOOLPROOF guide from start to finish:

1. Rooting and S-OFF (with a basic explanation of what this is),

2. Installing a custom recovery (again with an explanation of what this is, and how to use it, Nandroid backups etc)

3. Installing ROMs

I know I'm asking a bit much - I'm just trying to make it as easy as possible for my colleague without actually doing it myself, as I'm not really a good enough friend that if I did take his phone away for a couple of days, that he wouldn't mind if it came back bricked! It needs to be his decision to do it, and him doing it.

I am willing to donate if someone can put all this together for him.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
This should have most of the things needed.

Don't worry about S-off since it is not needed and one of the only procedures that can really brick a phone.

Edit: Before starting with rooting, boot in to hboot and check the pvt version. If it's pvt4, the best thing to do is to use Amon_RA as a alternative recovery image. To do this just follow the guide but befoer clicking on root in Unrevoked go to "file" and select the alternative recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
You can use the unrevoked way which is too easy to do and if you want to S-Off, although not needed, you can visit AlphaRev
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barefootpilot:
I would say for definite, forget about s-off. Not exactly sure what it is myself, but as it's completely unnecessary for the whole rooting/flashing procedure, why bother?

I rooted from a linux boot cd which sounds complicated but I think is actually easier as there's no faffing about with installing sync and then uninstalling it again.
