I also get error that ChevronWp7 stopped working, I tryed delete host, but there arent any lines

I really want to unlock before update, did anyone find solution? :(

EDIT: Its working now, I have deleted original hosts and made empty file with the same name and its working (dont know if I didnt break someting in win tho).

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notverycreative:
I've been using all kinds of TeamWhiskey ROMs for a while now, as well as a few other Eclair ones a long time ago, and the built-in battery use monitor (the one in the settings menu) only shows Display, WiFi, System, and Cell idle. I remember actual apps being displayed there; what happened to that? I know there are other apps to do this (in fact I have one), but since this one is running all the time anyways, why not make it work? Anyone know a fix?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaetm83:
thanks for a good question; i was wondering why as well.. im guessing it has something to do with how froyo handles system processes and other apps and such. but it's still not clear why it would only show just a few random internal processes. anyone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
I actually use "system panel" this will graph usage and a lot more. So if you are want to play battery techie, this is useful. Frankly, I have not had any problem with batter usage since the Froyo roms came out in Dec.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptJeffree:
hi all,

yeah I've noticed the same thing. I'm currently on stock 2.2 and don't know why the battery use monitor isn't giving us any info about 3rd party apps. just system processes.

Even playing Angry birds or Gun Bros for an hour a piece with battery draining 15-20% still doesn't make it to the list.

very strange, I've also made a note of it on the T-mobile forums under 2.2 bugs.

Thanks oka for recommending "system panel" does it really provide a good amount of info?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notverycreative:
Yeah, it does. That's what I use if I really need to figure out what's killing my battery.

hey, i was wondering if any one was successful in removing their engravings off the back of the nexus one..... i bought mine cheap second hand, but i can't seem to get the engravings off... thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deekayy:
Maybe if you look up in the dictionary of what "engrave" means you'll find your answer. Then again is it possible to un-grave something? Put a cute little sticker over it or something.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Die grinder.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
plastic filler

superfine sandpaper

paint

cover engravings with the filler

let it dry

sand down the filler until it's flush with the rest of the phone

wipe off with a wet rag (let dry after)

paint

depending on your painting skills you can make it look halfway decent. You won't make it like new though. The only way to make it not like terrible would be to paint the entire part of the phone where it is engraved. Since the engravings are on the chrome, looks like a whole body job to me.

Good Luck

Update:

Also, seriously you can't google? You do own their phone...

http://www.ehow.com/how_7774043_remove-engraving-nexus-one.html

I'd do this instead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyveafk:
Toothpaste or Chocolate to wear it down.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngy:
sorry, engrave may not be the correct word to use. this is probably laser etching. i'm talking about the etching that google did for people who wanted to customize their phones.

i did google and i tried that already. didn't even scratch the surface. and the surface is not chrome, its anodized aluminum. which is a pain in the butt to work with...

i tried the sugar cubes, but i believe thats only for silkscreened logos. i doubt either of these will be able to get the laser etched letterings. thanks though.

anyone else who was able to remove the personalized lettering on the back of the N1?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The engraving isn't on the back cover, it's on the metal chassis.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meltus:
Can you not buy a replacement chassis?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Sure you can, but they're not cheap, and I suspect it's a fair bit of work to swap the parts over.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
First, it is important to note that the "engraving" is NOT actually engraved in, as some people here seem to believe.

It is merely silk-screened on.

As for removing it, I would suggest a mild abrasive, like tooth paste, and rubbing it with a cotton cloth... it will probably take a lot of elbow grease, but it should work!*

*Note: not responsible if you damage your phone or kill your loved ones with this method.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
my bad. If you scratch it with your fingernail, can you feel a groove?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngy:
can't say its silkscreen for sure. i took a look under the microscope and its retains the same texture as the rest of the aluminum... silkscreened letterings SHOULD have a different, smooth texture.

yeah i do feel a slight bump. so i'm led to think its silkscreen or laser etched, leaning more towards laser etching... which means im stuck.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngy:
i think i may actually do this in the end. i was suggested to use "contact cleaner" as it deoxides materials... but thats precisely what anodized aluminum is... a thicker layer of colored aluminum oxide. it may just strip it all down to the bare aluminum... argh thinking out loud.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
I have heard from someone who have tried the same thing known as Contact Cleaner. Haven't tried personally so can't say for certain but hey, what's the harm in trying it out? I don't have any personalization otherwise would have tried it out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngy:
really. contact cleaner can really get the thing off? i should try and get my hands on some then, rather than spending $60+ for a new housing. was thinking of sand blasting the whole thing too... and painting it all back. lol. all black nexus.......
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XSafire:
Please don't do this.

just sand down the aluminum until it is flush with the rest of it, then use different grades of paper until it is smooth

I don't exactly know how close to perfect you can make it, but it's better then sandblasting it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
I am 99% sure it is silk-screened on, in a similar manner to the Google and HTC logos on the back.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngy:
i sure hope so. i think im gonna try the contact cleaner stuff thats been mentioned. while i have my doubts.... i guess i'll just give it a shot. anyone know what removes silk screening?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jensf:
I think you would damage the surface of you phone.

Put a sticker over it instead.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obsy:
Have you tried to contact HTC and ask them for a solution?!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhlj:
Are you trying to remove the engraving/laser etching/silk whatever-its-called so you can send it in for a warranty replacement?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymru:
Its hard to tell whether its printed or engraved...

Try get some play dough or blu-tack and press that onto it to see whether the 'engraving' is infact an engraving or whether its printed onto the back. Hopefully you understand what i mean.

Obviously being printed would be much easier to remove than if its actually engraved (scratched) into the surface
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngy:
contact htc??? i doubt they'll replace the phone for me.... probably not in their warranty or anything. hey maybe its worth a shot. i'll try.

i understand what you mean, but i took a look under a microscope and it seems as if the letterings have the same texture as the aluminum around it, just different colors. but when i run my fingernail across the letterings, i can feel small small (and i mean small) bumps whereas the rest of the aluminum is smooth. so still hard to say. i've worked with silkscreening before, so i know how it looks like. this doesn't look like silkscreen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngy:
so i picked up a can of contact cleaner from MGChemicals, and after scrubbing it on the lettering, there has been absolutely NO effect. *SIGH* guess i'm out of options. aside from painting it that is... haha this guy did an amazing job with the white nexus... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9777588&postcount=16

1. After the root, my rom loads up and if I go into the hardware info in the settings, it shows that Wimax and Wifi MAC addresses are unavailable. Is this normal?

2. The auto-root also made a small nandroid, what is that? because its too small to be a full rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
1.) They should only be available if wifi or 4G is turned on

2.) No clue
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
What he said for #1

As for #2, you can erase the Nandroid and just do another one. Then flash whatever ROM you want.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
If there is not enough room on the sd card or if there was an error you may not have got a complete nandroid. You can check the log file that was created while rooting to see if there were any errors while making it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shar!ngaN:
This is a question to the Developers here on XDA, especially the ones that are developing for the Desire HD.

I would like to point this out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=694427

Like you readers have already read it's about USB Host functionality on the Nexus One.

On the following link you will find a thread of this being ported to the HTC Desire

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702742

The Question is, if there someone who knows how to get this to work on the HTC Desire HD and is willing to do that? It's not a practical functionality but it's sure is cool to have the possibility to connect your external HD, USB Controller, USB Mouse or whatever USB device on your Desire HD.

From my little knowledge i think that the modules need to be implemented in a Kernel, Maybe it would be a nice project for someone who works on Kernels? I don't know how to support the Desire HD with this feature, I hope someone can.

Kind Regards,

Shar!ngaN
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppie:
I looked at this last night, but without having an adapter, I cannot test it.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Question: Do you only need an adapter to connect normal size USB to mini USB? Will the dhd have enough power/voltage to run a flashstick so you don't need external power?

If i only need an adapter i'm in for testing if it's compatible with CM7 :)

I have an adapter lying around from using it on my N900 that had USB otg/host mode :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shar!ngaN:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Blobby:
Ok that's no problem, and thank you very much,

Yes i am willing to do that, however i have been told it is very risky and you need to know what you are doing when carrying out the process. As a result, i am waiting to find out if someone can help me with it as i know nothing about smartphones and i don't want to end up breaking the phone.

[Android Apps and Games] winnici:
Hello XDA community, I'm looking for an app or other way to to specify with which google account on my phone other apps should interact. I find it strange that we can set up several google accounts on a single phone but then have no way to tell programs which to use ( on a case-by-case basis or even as a default).

The only app I've encountered that does support this functionality is Shawn Q.'s Quick App Tracker (search on market - I don't have enough posts to include an external link). In its preferences there is a field "Google Account" with a dropdown menu that self-populates with the google accounts set up on the phone - you choose one, and then the first time you use the program and it attempts to connect to the market it prompts you with an access request you can allow or deny.

So the functionality exists, but it is clearly not something frequently included with apps that request access via a google account to Android services. Does anyone know of an app or even way to manually control this?

thanks

Well I have had my sgs for a couple of weeks now on the whole very happy with android can't help thinking how great my last phone (i8910) would have been with froyo though, oh well. ,Anyway so I have managed to root and lag fix a stock 2.2.1 Rom and add the voodoo sound driver thing as well as the clockworkRom bootloader. So think I'm doing ok, albeit with a couple of big mistakes. Thank god for titanium backup pro and latterly CM.

Any way i have tried to install dsp manager a couple of times via different methods and each time suffered the hardest to recover from failures both times took several hours to find the

right recovery combinations. So does anyone know why this is?

My ultimate goal is to increase volume on music playback on my Bluetooth headset so if you have a better way this would also be welcome?

Secondly I can't find a single call recording app that will record both sides when using Bluetooth headsets anyone know of anything?

Thirdly i see geotagging remains an issue on the sgs I'd like to share increase that 5x zoom pro works okay a camera app that can disable geotagging but it misses some of the better features of the native app like anti shake and smile detect etc does anyone know of a better option?

Finally the custom Rom's thing is confusing me a great deal is there a decent beginners guide that has information regarding most of the main ones and their main benefits?
