[Nexus One General] ksc6000:
I have a few things I'm not sure about with ext2 vs ext3.

I want ext3, so I'm not asking for a comparison.

My questions are:

1) If I've been using ext2, and I want to upgrade...do I need to wipe anything beforehand? Or can I simply go into recovery and perform the operation to upgrade ext2 to ext3 and not worry about anything else if that's all I want? My main concern is all my apps and things on my ext2 partition..do I need to do anything with them?

2) If I just bought a new SD card and partitioned it and upraded it to ext3...and put a nandroid backup on it which I plan to restore....but the nandroid backup was made from an ext2 situation...will the restore make the ext3 partition an ext2 again?

3) How do I check which ext version I'm running?

In terminal use command a2sd check

I just bought this Xperia X10i likely 2 days ago

And i have charged it for more then 10 hours but still it won't fully charged

The indicator showing Green but it turn Yellow suddenly for no s**t

please help

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
The phone will stop charging when it gets to 100% and then start draining to about 90% before it starts charging again.... could it be that you've missed it? Alternativey, try pulling the battery, plugging the charger in then re-insert the battery.. seems to have helped some people!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takuya619:
Im trying to get the OTA update that came out in November or so onto a coworkers dinc that we rooted with Unrevoked. It is currently s-off and I need to turn s-on with the appropriate file and then run the update. For some reason when I go into recovery mode to attempt the s-on process all I get is a black screen. Its almost like Clockwork recovery will not fully load. There are no options or anything for me to choose from, its just completely frozen on a black screen (with white borders on 3 edges).

Ive tried to reflash the Clockwork recovery image, thinking something was wrong with it, by using Unrevoked reflash.exe but even that doesnt work. It jsut says 'failed to flash recovery image.' All this is being done on the same machine that the dinc was rooted on.

Is there anyone who has seen this before and can help me?

Edit:

Ive now attempted to put TWO different dincs into recovery and get the same thing. Black screen, no options in green text. Ive waited as long at 10 minutes and nothing ever appears. They just sit there like that. On another note, booting mine to recovery works just fine. All are running baseband 2.15.00.07.28.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unreal2k:
Are you using the latest Unrevoked?

Look at this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=855515&highlight=slcd

Use the search button, there are other threads with the same or similar problem that got resolved.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takuya619:
I did use the search button and found some threads that talked about a black screen, but from looking at those, they were actually getting the green text options and just did not know to use the touch sensor button in place of the power button. This appears to be a different issue. Maybe I am using the seach feature incorrectly, or not putting in the right verbiage, but it only provided unrelated threads.

Thanks for the input. I will make sure I am using the latest unrevoked executable and see if it makes a difference in getting the Clockwork recovery back on and functional.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takuya619:
UPDATE: Unresolved. The phone now has the update applied, but I am unable to re root it and provide wifi tethering. Unrevoked is saying that the process failed and asks if the firmware is too recent. What is this all about? I had no issues doing this when I did it to my phone over a month ago. Any further ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Are you sure you applied the November update? I know there was a more recent OTA that went out, I believe that patched the loophole that unrEVOked used. Maybe you flashed that by accident?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takuya619:
It was definitely the November update. A further search on google actually pointed me in the direction of uninstalling programs that may interfere with the root and also putting it into disk mode when plugged in via USB. I found a program that was erroneously left the during the reflash and once it was removed, the re-root with unrevoked finally worked.

Things seem to be working now, finally. Im now attempting the re-root on the second of the coworkers' phones.

Ok, I'm using the androidhtc git to stay up to date with the htcvogue-2.6.32 branch, and created a zImage from the resulting files by MAKEing the kernel. That all went perfectly fine.

The thing I need to know is how do you flash this zImage to the Kaiser? I know how to flash with .nbh files, and don't have a problem doing it. NBHCreator fials and gives a 4KB nbh, so that doesn't work...is there a way to hex edit it or anything...literally ANYTHING at all to make it into an nbh? There must be a way that devs done this before NBHCreator was released...

Also I tried flashing in Ubuntu with HTCFlasher with the zImage directly to the Kaiser, and it seemed to complete, just complaining of a CERT ERROR or something, but the progress bar got to 100%.

Any help please guys?? :D

How do I get into magldr again?

If I hold volume down and power on button, it goes to screen with 4 colors.

What do I do then? Already got all the addons such as hspl installed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_hd2_cracker:
Hi, just hold the power button longer, also magdlr is shown on the device.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carazy1:
Did that, and nothing.

I do see magldr when starting it up normally though. It boots an old rom that I don't want.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carazy1:
Anyone at all?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
So when the phone powers up, you're holding the power button, and the menu still doesn't show up? Well then, reinstall MAGLDR though the tri color screen then, it won't wipe your current android data, dun worry. Or you can task 29, install MAGLDR, then reinstall your android build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Switch the phone on and keep holding the power button in until you get to the menu.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carazy1:
It does kinda show up though, for 3 seconds and then it will say go go go!

it's booting up a old rom though.

This worked! thank you sir.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] cyperninja:
If you hold volume down and power on button you will enter bootloder (spl 2.08 )

If you switch off your device and switch it back on AND NOT LET GO OF THE POWER BUTTON, you will inter magldr menu.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
You need to keep the power button pressed in until it boots into the menu, don't let it go until you see the menu options.

[Epic 4G General] nicholishen:
I thought i would share this information because I've wasted so much time and effort trying to find the best bettery/performance combination. What I have finally conceded to was the fact that i needed an extra battery. I've read opinions that charging externally will give extra battery life, and let me tell you, they are all true.

So as of right now, under normal use and conditions, my battery is sitting at 89% charge with 7h 39m of on/standby time.

Here's the formula that works best for my epic:

Rom-baked snack

Kernel- bakedsnack step 2

Charge battery on external charger

Use ultimate juice defender to cycle data on every 15 min when screen is off and cconnect when on.

Thats it in a nutshell. The extra OEM battery and charger cost me like 30 bucks on amazon. Make sure its OEM battery because most after market batteries wont charge unless you throw it on the external charger only, which could leave you in a jam if you only have power cord.
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
I've been debating about doing somthing this, but with my work, I need the "instant" email. I was in Staples, and they had a 2000mah external USB battery for $18 clearance. It comes with a cable and many tips for it and a little pouch to put them all in. I bought 2. I'm usually in range of a power supply, but then I've got 2x2000 mah extras just in case. I know I lose some because of the way charging works, but it's keeps me going for a very long time.

For ppl that get 60 hours and such, thats because ur barely using the phone! I get like 8 to 15 hours depending on how much i use it. I used to use juice defender but i get similar battery life with and without it so i dont think it does that much saving.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
Not talking about having the phone sit next to your bed all day unused. I get 30 hours with moderate usage consistently, and on the Epic running the battery saving kernels/ROMs can't do that.

You sir, are the crap that you speak of.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
He didn't say 30 hours like you said. He said 60. And if you to get 60 its cause you don't ever use your phone. I don't care what setup you have if you use your phone you will not get 60 hours on stock battery.

I made the switch to an EXT4 ROM (TrulyEpic Rebirth 1.5) recently and it's made quite a difference as far as battery life goes.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Ok so how in the world are these people getting such a high overclock? I've been doing some research and I just cant figure it out.

Check this link: http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-by-device/ and scroll down to the eris section. There is one guy in there who actually pulled off a 864MHz Overclock. I know thats a hard thing to do because the highest I've ever got was 760MHz and that lasted like 30 seconds before my Eris just gave up. I've accedintly put my phone in the 800MHz range and it just froze instantly. So far the highest stable range has been 748MHz.

Does anybody now something I dont? Is there a trick to getting that high of an overclock with the Eris?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scary alien:
From what I understand, there's a range in the stable clock cycle range that any chip/processor can run at. When the Eris was built, the "sweet spot" (stable) speed was apparently 528MHz (although this certainly could have been selected for marketing purposes too).

Most, but not all, Erii can run safely at 710MHz and be stable. However, we have seen instances where folks have installed ROMs that were overclocked to 710MHz as a default and their phones would not complete booting-up.

Others have indeed "pushed the envelope" by running in the high 700s and even in the high- to mid-800s as you've reported. However, there is usually a cost associated with doing this in terms of decreased life-span of your CPU. That being said, there are some members that have reported having a stable phone running 800MHz or higher. Your mileage will vary, as you have seen -- it really depends on your phone.

Cheers!

I can run 806 just fine, but most of the time I just choose to run at 767 or even 748, mainly because I don't need *that* much speed versus the larger battery drain at such high speeds.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicken59:
Not all CPUs are created equal. Some are stable at higher frequencies than others. This because many of the steps in CPU production rely on chemical processes. Doping, silicon wafer growth, electroplating, etc. Manufacturers use a technique called CPU binning to help them sort out the better chips.
