[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phillysphinest1:
Hey MT4G guru's i need your assistance.

1st off im an Evo user..rooted and all so im not to shabby at doing this. 2nd I rooted her phone using visionary.

So on to the problem. I tried to flash her a theme. I nandrioded (backup) first as usual. The theme which ended up being a full ROM--> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929101

It flashed successfully but when i rebooted it gets stuck at the white MT4G screen and stays there forever.

**I can still get into the bootloader & recovery.**

Tried to restore...NO LUCK. It restores, I reboot then the Same white screen.

Tried to factory reset, dalvik & cache wipe..... NO LUCK

Tried Update.zip Nothing!!!

Even tried pd15img in the bootloader. NOTHING!! It doesnt even recognize it!!

Guys i even looked into odin which i found out it isnt needed on phones with recovery.

Hate to sound like a noob but Help!!!!

...A fixed phone will result in 30,000 "thanks" button presses.....cause shes pissed to say the least....

Edit: Ok i believe i found the problem. I had clockwork 2.5.1.2 instead of 3 on her phone. Ok so now that i found the problem how do i fix it??

go to this link http://goo.gl/K0xTy and follow the instructions. you are flashing a cm7 rom and for this phone requires a different recovery. Then flash your rom

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
If you made a nandroid backup, which you always should do before flashing a new rom, you can restore it using clockwork 2.5.1.2. If you don't have a backup you can do two things. You can use fastboot to flash clockwork recovery v3.0.0.5 to the phone then reboot into recovery and successfully flash CM7. If you don't know how to use fastboot then you can use the existing recovery to flash a froyo based rom on the phone. Either iced glacier or CM6 will flash ok. Perform a full wipe before you flash. Once you have a froyo rom working you can follow TrueBlue_Drew's thread about getting clockwork 3 on the phone without issue. I'm on my phone so I can't provide the link but it is in the mt4g development section. It is in a sticky called Resource Bible. In the OP, scroll until you see the header Recoveries and choose the link called Easiest way to install clockwork 3.0.0.5 by TrueBlue_Drew. Follow his instructions and you'll be able to switch between clockwork versions with no hassle. Of course, once you have clockwork 3 working you can flash CM7.

EDIT: Drew replied before I finished writing so follow his link once you are able to boot successfully.

So how do you use fastboot to flash clockwork ? need help here :( i have clockwork on the sd card and installed using recovery but when i power volume down i am still in clockwork 2.5.1.2

How do i change clockwork to 3.0.0.5 from fastboot ?

I recently attempted to root my N1 but after unlocking the bootloader and using superboot to gain root, everytime i boot up now i get an error that says "process system is not responding" I'm hoping this $600 paperweight can be turned back into a phone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You don't need to root if you unlocked the bootloader...

If there's a pulse, it probably ain't dead...

Download the ROM you wish to use, then use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, boot into recovery, wipe, then install the downloaded ROM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockchalk2526:
I tried that with CM7 and it errors out on installing update.zip
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
It's not an 'update.zip' if you are trying to flash a full ROM. Select 'Install ROM from SD' if you are rooted and using Rom Manager, otherwise reboot into your custom recovery and select 'flash .zip from SD'.

Ok, i think i'm getting this now. You're saying that you don't need Root to flash a custom ROM if the Bootloader is unlocked, but for anything that requires Root (i.e Titanium Backup), you still need that additional step? So really, unlocking the Bootloader is pointless at the moment as using a combination of SOC and Rom Manager gives you the best of all worlds.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You don't need this step, since all the custom ROMs come pre-rooted. If you unlock the bootloader to install custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Thanks, it's all useful info.

It's worth noting that not everbody wants to use a custom ROM, but they may still want Root and the advantages it brings, on their stock ROM. (Me for one!!) :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Still, if you only want root access, why unlock the bootloader, since unlocking the bootloader only gives the ability to flash images (unless you want to flash a rooted stock image, in which case why root the rom you have)?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
You probably still have the stock recovery my friend. Cuz you won't find installing zip from sd card if you don't have a custom recovery. So flash ar or clock work to install a custom rom. Good luck.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
The way that cyanogenmod works is that anyone who is willing can submit code or new features into cyanogenmod. Every night, a new rom is automatically generated with all of the changes from that day. You do not have to flash every night, for example tonights build had no updates, but some nightlies have new features that are just incredible. For example, the new theme engine, pause with camera while screen is off, double trackpad answer/hangup, etc that have not made it yet to any official release or release candidate.

Simply, new build every night, upgrading every night is not obligatory, and new features in each build are nice.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HotShotAzn:

No, but if you have problems which are not reported by other users, you may have to do a clean flash.

But usually, if I*flash an updated version of my rom, I*only format cache and Dalvik cache.

So, random weird freakout coincidence, or potential virus? Any ideas?

Should I charge my phone when it has like 0.5% battery left always, or can I charge whenever it gets a little low, like 30-40%?

I leave mine in the charger every night. And I'll put it in charge at work, too, or whenever a charging opportunity arises. With this kind of battery, it really doesn't matter.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gbarayah:
Here is a very good article that discusses Lithium Ion batteries:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
[G2 and Desire Z General] convolution:
I don't get the article.

Does 4.2V mean 100% battery life?

If you want to charge it to 4.0 V, does that mean its like 90% battery life?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Not certain, but it seems the charger and/or battery on the Vision is designed so that it does not keep the voltage at 100% when its charging and full. I've noticed the battery meter periodically drop to 99% when still on the charger, then back up to "F" (full). While I know the battery meter is not really accurate enough to read to 1% increments; what this seems to indicate is that once a full charge is achieved, the system is going to let the charge drop below a certain threshold, then top off again, rather than keep the voltage at 100% constantly.

The table below is a little more easily digestible (not overly technical). It says you can keep the battery on the charger.

It also says not to let the battery discharge below 20%. Overdischarge of Li ion batteries can result in your battery no longer accepting a charge, on the off chance the safety circuit does not trip properly. The safety circuit is designed to prevent over discharge of the battery, but this has been known to fail, at least on other phones. And there is no benefit to letting the battery discharge below 20%.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/do_and_dont_battery_table
[G2 and Desire Z General] HotShotAzn:
There are two terms you need to understand when it comes to batteries: volts and amps.

Volts is "static" for a battery, meaning it doesn't change. You have a 1.5V battery, it will always be a 1.5V battery. Now the capacity of the battery is measured in amps. A 1Amp battery has more capacity than a 500mAh battery. At 100% fully charged, you'd have 1000mAh (or 1A). At 90%, you'd have 900mAh.

What that article tells you is that your phone is charged to (or close to) 100% using a specified voltage (probably whatever the battery is rated at...3.7V?). Now batteries and chargers of the past had what's called a "trickle" effect, in which it still chargers the battery when it is (or close to) 100%, but at a much lower voltage. If you phone was to stop charging after it hit 100%, it would start to discharge. When you unplugged it (assuming you charge it over night) in the morning, you would have less than 100%. The trickle is so that your battery will still have 100% when you unplug it.

Think about if you filled up your gas tank and left your car running over night. When you woke up, you wouldn't have a full tank anymore. But if you left the gas nozzle in the tank while it was running, it would continually "top it off". That or gas leak everywhere and your car would burst into flames...therefore canceling the point that you wouldn't a full tank...

Anyways...Li-Ion batteries charge and behave differently that batteries of yore. It's bad to let it go down to almost 0%. It's also bad to let it continually sit on the charger. I personally charge mine every other day but I used to charge my Vibrant and HD2 every night.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ihateusernames:
The batteries in these phones have protection circuits to prevent over charging as well as over discharge. It is perfectly safe to charge over night as well as discharge until empty. What the display shows as 0% does not mean the battery has actually reached 0%. It is just were the protection circuit deems safe. It is possible to over discharge a Li-ion/LiPo battery which may cause it to no longer charge but there are ways to bring it back for the willing. Our phones, however, will not do this due to the protection circuit unless that fails. If that happens you need a new battery because Li-ion/Lipo batteries are very dangerous if over or under charged.

Also, the voltage is static in theory but in real life the the voltage does drop as the battery is discharged. The drop is not large however. A 3.7v Li-ion/LiPo cell will read around 4.2v at full charge and lowers to just over 3.7v at full SAFE discharge. If the battery falls below 3.7v, you will likely have damaged the cell. Again, our phone batteries have a protection circuit to prevent this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
It would require a special charger with a "boost" function, which most people do not have access to.

From the previously linked battery University page:

In spite of these preventive measures, over-discharge does occur. Advanced battery analyzers (Cadex C7000 series) feature a 'boost' function that provides a gentle charge current to activate the safety circuit and re-energize the cells if discharged too deeply.

Most of us let our battery drain low on accident from time to time. But it makes not sense to do it intentionally or make a habit of it, as it yields no benefit (some people think they are "conditioning" or "calibrating" the battery, which does not apply to Li ion batteries), and actually hurts battery life. Also from Battery University: "Do charge the battery often. The battery lasts longer with partial rather than full discharges."

There have been pretty occasional cases on the Touch Pro 2 forums of people over-discharging the battery, and rendering it useless. So it does happen. Some have claimed that the Android OS, or the Vision phone itself handles the battery better to avoid over discharge. Maybe so. But do you really want to test that theory, if it can most usually be avoided?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ihateusernames:
I agree that it can happen which is why I stated that the prevention circuit can fail though I do believe it to be a rare case that this happens. I charge when ever I am near a charger as I don't like to run low but I also don't freak out if I am close to dead. I also charge over night every night and have for years. I just don't believe that it is necessary to worry that my phone has been on the charger too long or that I am running close to 0% as there is redundant protection in place and for the most part, this protection works very well. Hell, your phone COULD burst into flames while holding it next to your ear due to the volatility of the Lithium Ion chemistry if exposed to air but that also very rarely happens.

I believe it is probably worse on the battery to watch movies on the phone while overclocked with the battery getting too hot than to discharge to 0% occasionally.

I do agree that it is pointless to try conditioning lithium batteries as they have no memory effect.

Reviving an over discharged Lithium battery should not be attempted by most. I fly RC Helis and my electrics use 3 or 6 cell LiPo's. On the very rare occasion I kill a cell, I isolate the bad cell and trickle charge until it matches the others and then resume balance charging. The batteries in our phones can be revived in the same manner. It requires low current and constant observation and should not be done by the inexperienced.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikereidis:
Hi all.

I'm an embedded Linux developer but am relatively new to Android.

My phone, an LG Optimus Chic is network unlocked but not rooted. Running stock Froyo 2.2.1 as received from Bell Canada last week.

I have the ADB shell available, but not as root. I'm looking for any trouble-shooting hints about what to look for.

The problem: I'm trying to get WAP proxy working because I'm using an MVNO of Bell (Presidents Choice Mobile) that offers cheap unlimited mobile browsing and I refuse to pay the going Canadian rates for data.

But I think the WAP Proxy is blocked, on the phone and/or on the Bell network. With the same APN settings it works on a Bell SIM with a data plan (but using the WAP APN), but does not work with the PresChoice SIM with a UMB plan.

I tried the IP Data APN, but when using the PresChoice SIM it depleted my $10 prepaid account down to $0.35 very rapidly, LOL. But just doesn't work using the WAP APN.

Using "adb shell ping" I can see DNS resolution is OK and the ICMP pings work fine. Is there any Linux utility like wget or even some "cat" command I can use to try and trouble shoot this ? I'm also wondering if there's a place that network operators would usually customize something like this.

There are probably specific APN's for your carrier alone. I'm also in Canada. I'm on SpeakOut. And they offer a very similar UMB plan. I had to punch in their APN codes (Google is your friend), and use an all called Proxydroid to force the settings through. That helped me. Just Google the settings, assuming there are any.
