[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cod Ball:
Hi all,

You may need to bare with me a little with all of this, I'm extremely new to it all.

I picked up my Nexus S on Monday after previously owning an iPhone and then a Windows Phone 7 handset, firstly I have to say that I can't believe I didn't get an Android phone sooner - they're leaps and bounds ahead of the competition in my opinion and offer a much better!

With the help of a set of instructions I was able to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery to use Clockwork 3.0.0.5, from there I was able to install Superuser from the ZIP to root the device.

Everything is working and rooted but whenever I try and get into the Clockwork recovery it keeps chucking me into the standard recovery, I've tried from the bootloader and from ROM manager.

The problem I have is that I can't backup my ROM because it just takes me to the standard recovery and sits there.

I had a look around but couldn't find anything relating to this on the forum.

There was mention of something called 'sgs kernel flasher' but it states it wont run on Gingerbread which I'm running.

Any ideas?

If you have any questions of something I may have missed out I can answer those!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
Sosmething very similar to me recently. I just reflashed the clockwork recovery via adb/fastboot and works like a champ now.

Thanks for the help guys, as I said I'm quite new to all this so sadly the thread title:

"Q about cwm 3.0+ and 2.3.2"

Didn't quite stick out to me!

Problem sorted now though, all backed up and new ROM installed - happy days! :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
I noticed, a few others, but should be minority has the same problem as mine.

My N1 powers off itself when my battery shows around 15% or so.. sometimes 17% sometimes 14%, never lower than 10%.

I already tried to wipe battery data at recovery or deleting the battstat.bin file etc etc but it is still like that.

Is there a solution for this and any reason for this?

Majority of people's phone only power downs below 5%.

Many thanks

Use the battery calibrator, it's in the development section.

thanks man..

Try bump-charging* then clearing the battery stats

*Charge phone to 100%, unplug it, turn it off, charge again till indicator goes green
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
actually this i have tried a few times already but it never helped.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
My phone turns off at around 19% now after I played with the battery calibrator app. (I set the life at 100%, was lazy to run the full cycle calibration)

Its powerful and probably can fix your problem.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
i am trying to do this too.

so you are saying it wont help coz yours got even worse (turning off at 19%)?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtw4991:
To calibrate your battery and have it reliably die at 0% every time, follow the instructions that I wrote in post #3 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7850480&postcount=3
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtw4991:
He said he was too lazy to complete the learn cycle, which is part of the calibration technique. There is no sense in trying to pick "pieces" of the process and hope they work, they won't. Start with step 1 and follow the directions to the letter, don't skip anything. I would suggest reading the instructions a couple of times prior to starting and ask questions in the thread if you aren't sure. There are several of us that monitor the thread and will respond quickly...myself during US daylight hours and Temasek in the evening (he's in asia, I think).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
am doing this right now and hope I understand everything and it works.

thanks a lot
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
It will work if you follow the steps and run the full calibration (long time)

Thanks. Wish there was a quicker/easier way.

I'm currently testing a direct way using simple math:

If 1452mAh is 100% how much is 19% ?

i.e. 1452/100*19 = 275mAh (for me)

I've set "full40" to 1452-275= 1177 (the calibrator app's minimum is 1200 so I just set it to that.)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtw4991:
That may work as a guess-timate, but the stock battery comes rated at 1452mAh and stock age is set to 94%, so you would really be setting to 1128mAh unless you reset age to 100%. It really doesn't take that long to set up the application for learn mode...just a few minutes. It does take 31/2-4 hrs to fully charge the phone and complete learn mode if you set the min. charge current to <20mA. To speed things up, just set it to <40mA as you won't miss the little bit of extra juice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
hmmm good point, i never thought of that lower limit. we'll see if we can update the app.

but to answer this thread's question, the age register in your phone is now out of whack, and you need to set it accordinly to allow the battery to go down to 0%. the learn cycle determine's the proper "age" value and sets it accordingly.

you could also guess an age value, say 83%, would be close. but really there's no reason to not do the learn cycle and figure it out.

BTW all these values are stored in your battery's chip, and it needs to be updated to new value.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schizophrenia:
Quick question:

1) Sometimes even after I turned on the "Detect Learn Mode" my Current occassionally dropped below -200mA (e.g. 160mA) for a quick while... will it affect the result?

2) "Turn off" means turning off the Detect Learn Mode right?

3) where can I see the "Charging current"? Capa.?

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
What if I rotate among three different batteries on a regular basis? I have an external battery charger too. Will the calibration be in any way useful or will it get confused by the changes?

I have my original January 2010 battery, a December 2011 replacement from HTC, and a MOMAX battery that also holds up a pretty good charge.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
you can rotate batteries no problem. when you do a learn cycle, the age value gets written to the chip inside the individual battery. so you can swap batteries no problem. just make sure that the correct age value shows up when you swap, cause sometimes the age resets when removed from the phone. just set it manually back to your proper age if so.

we were trying to add "profiles" support to the app so you could swap batterys and it remembers the parameters for each and sets them accordingly when you swap the battery. but i dont know how long that will take:(...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay good to know. I bought this charger:

http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Mult...CAT6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1295658169&sr=8-3

And it's pretty neat because I can just position the pins myself to charge any battery I want. I've tried it with camera batteries, Huawei U1250, Moto Milestone and RAZR, and Nexus One batteries. It works really well and it's somewhat future-proof because it will probably work with my next phone's batteries too =)

i am checking out music subscription services that let you search for and play a particular song. so far i have tried grooveshark and MOG. grooveshark has better quality streams but MOG has a much larger music library. both are ~$10/mo. does anyone use these (or similar) services? which is better?

You can get grooveshark for a year for $30. Plus a t-shirt.

Just go into the merchandise store and order one of the specially marked items.

[Nook Color General] ruffleader:
Hi everyone, sorry if this sort of question has been asked before but it's hard to search as UK is too small of a word to find any key threads.

I was considering buying a Nook Color and getting it over to the UK because of the hard work everyone has done in order to root it and basically turn it into a tablet. I know that you cannot sign up and use the Barnes And Noble store and such if you're outside America but you can still register the device.

The main issue I believe that might stand in the way is charging. I read that the device cannot be charged via a computer and can only be done by plug socket. Just wondering if that would cause issues in the UK as I would imagine the device is set to work with US voltage and that UK voltage may cause issues? The obvious way to do it is a basic travel type plug but would it in the long run end up causing more problems or does everyone think it would ok.

I've been searching to try find mentions of people in the UK with the device but I'm struggling and really if there is no other true issues that anyone can mention, I would likely go ahead with it.

Thanks for your help
[Nook Color General] danfreak:
I have one in the UK, the charger is happy with the voltage and works with just a travel adpater plug. I believe it will also trickle charge via USB, but the mains charger is much better.

The registration also works fine, I put in a real credit card number and made up US address and it was happy. The only issue is the time-zone, which you need to set after registration in the settings menu, where you can tick 'show all time zones' and get good old GMT...
[Nook Color General] ruffleader:
Thanks for your reply danfreak. Good to know it works well. Now to continue my search for the best price to get it for.
[HTC Aria Accessories] kc1:
Hi, does anybody know if the Gratia and Aria covers are interchangeable?

My wife has an Aria and is happy with it. I was thinking of getting a Gratia, but swapping cases so that she can have a white one on her Aria.

Given the antenna is in the cover and the phones are for different markets I wondering if the antennae might be different? Does anyone know for sure if they are interchangeable?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Accessories] 911jason:
I'm not 100% positive the covers are interchangeable, but I think they are. However, they aren't both compatible with the same wireless networks. You can use them both, but the Gratia won't be 3G in the U.S. because it utilizes different frequencies. It will still get data, but it will be at EDGE speeds.
[HTC Aria Accessories] kc1:
Yes I realise the phones are for different markets and operate at different frequencies but I'm wondering if that means the antennae are actually different.

I noticed Expansys USA has the Gratia cover listed under accessories for the Aria,

But then what they quote for the Gratia "Mfr Part #:" is 74H01655-11M, whereas HD-Mini is 74H01655-02M (nothing listed for Aria, but I think it is also 74H01655-02M)

I'm only really interested in data in the UK on both devices, as I prefer not to pay bucket loads to the phone company when roaming, but my wife wants a white phone!
[HTC Aria Accessories] Vettel01:
There are countless innovations of technology nowadays. There’s a fast pace of technology development even on phones. Some finest innovations of phones today are aria phones from LG and cordless phones. People keep on inventing gadgets on how to make life easier.
[HTC Aria Accessories] woodbane:
Doesn't the antenna just collect the signal? Surely whether it will work on a particular frequency is determined by the radio hardware in the device?

I'm just thinking - an antenna is an antenna isn't it? Same way you can use a coat hanger to pick up FM or even TV transmissions, it's all just about capturing the radio waves right?

I could be miles off base here but I honestly would have thought that the antenna that's built in to the back cover would NOT be specific to a particular GSM frequency.

Would love to know for sure though.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Darius_bd:
AFAIK, right. If the contacts are in the same place the cover should work quite well.
[HTC Aria Accessories] johdaxx:
That's technically not true - GSM antennae are most certainly tuned for particular frequencies - if you look online, you'll see different ones with different specifications, like 850 thru 900, or 1800 or 1900. However, through some trickery, a single antenna can be tuned for more than one frequency at a time.

That being said, I have no idea what the antenna in the back of the Aria or Gratia are tuned for - it's possible they might be dual band specific to the carrier (ATT 850/1900 or Euro 900/2100) or it might be a universal one capable of picking up all 4 or more frequencies.

I'd say best bet is to get one of the other ones, try it out and see. And let us know - I'd considered getting a green one for use in the US...
[HTC Aria Accessories] woodbane:
I hear what you are saying but I think people are confusing the antenna with the GSM radio built in to the phone.

Whether a phone utilizes 850/1900 or 1900/2100 bands would surely be a funtion of the radio in the phone that is hard coded to those frequencies.

Isn't an antenna just "fishing net' that actually gathers the signal?

Again, could be miles off base here, just applying my own brand of common sense. :)
[HTC Aria Accessories] M1m3R:
It really depends on how the antenna was designed. Resonant frequencies are generally a factor...so antenna length could matter. Polarization and radiation patterns are also taken into consideration.

That said, until one has both covers (or finds some internal design docs), it's hard to know if there is any difference.
[HTC Aria Accessories] drumist:
Unfortunately, common sense doesn't really apply when it comes to signal theory. :)

I'm not an expert by any means, but from what I remember from a signals course I took a few years ago in college, johdaxx's and M1m3R's posts are both spot on.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Darius_bd:
Both the Aria and the Gratia work for the 4 bands of GSM, so there's really no problem if such tunning was a factor to consider.
[HTC Aria Accessories] kc1:
The quality of HTC Support on this was really quite shocking, e.g.

When challenged he came back with:

Then...

When I pointed out there were some metal contacts...

I pointed out HTC's own support website says: "the antenna for the HTC Aria ™ is located in the battery cover."
[HTC Aria Accessories] Darius_bd:
idk man, for me that's the typical quality. I dont expect any help from any large company. For example ask any carrier's seller about batteries, they all gonna say you should fully discharge it before charging, like the old batteries. They know nothing.

But, again, both phones uses the same gsm radio freq. The only real change in hardware is the umts radio freq and I'm pretty sure the covers doesnt change cause of that. Hell, every GSM phone has a different antenna solution and they all work with the same quad band freqs

Folks - I have a problem....

My Desire had an unfortunate accident involving a flight of stairs and a bounce-bounce-bounce-smash incident! :eek:

The insurance says it is unrepairable but they have no Desires in stock to replace it with a new one. :(

If they are unable to source a Desire and offer an alternative phone, what is the best option in your opinions?
[Desire General] Meaple:
***** slap them round the face and demand a replacement. It is up to them to provide it. You are paying for insurance and your entitled to a replacement phone so it's up to them to keep stocks up. There's nothing really you can do only talk to the insurance company. Talk to some manager instead of some grunt. You usually get a little more out of it that way.
[Desire General] Yogimax:
Thanks - but if they genuinely cannot get a replacement within a reasonable period, what is my preferred alternative to demand from the manager as possibly an upgrade? :rolleyes:
