it stands for User identifier! its a feature that linux based operating systems use to identify users :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Okie, why is it appearing under my battery usage? It is draining battery..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
its just a background process if its appearing high on your battery useage, maybe its because you havent used your phone alot, if your device is idol alot, background processes will show higher battery useage than if your using your phone more.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
It's not any applications tied to it?

[Fascinate General] nickl1185:
When I plug in the headset with controls on it, which I still have from my old iPhone, it does not allow me to skip/pause tracks on the stock music player (or any music player) using the onboard control button of the headset itself. This is the same way it was when I bought the phone. However, when I updated with the last OTA update from Verizon, it started working. So it is definitely possible. The only problem is that it doesn't work anymore ever since I flashed the phone with EB01.

Any input/suggestions?
[Fascinate General] eloist:
i'd like a solution to this as well.

my beats headphones have controls on the wire that are useless to me.
[Fascinate General] Cali3350:
This has never worked for me, I just assumed it was a drawback of Android compared to iPhone.
[Fascinate General] nickl1185:
so did I, until I accidentally realized that it worked after the EA28 OTA update. I was disappointed when I upgraded to EB01 and it stopped working. I put myself back on EA28 just to make sure I wasn't crazy and it definitely works. Really weird that the functionality was removed
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
I have been running roto backups for a while now, but have never had the need to restore from one. While looking through the different files that were backed up after I ran the command code, I noticed a file called data.tar.gz. Where is the correct place for selecting this file in Heimdall when doing a restore? For example, do I put it in the recovery slot under other, or does it not matter where I put this file performing a restore?

Also, I found a file called efs.rfs that was backed up and I have the same question for that file.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

caveman999
[Galaxy Tab General] Benjamin Dobell:
By just taking a look at how data.tar.gz is created it looks as though you could just copy it to your phones sd card and extract it to /data.

Heimdall does support efs.rfs, however it's intentionally not included in the user interface. The efs partition includes a lot of phone specific data, which depending on where you live it might be illegal to tamper with. As a general rule you shouldn't need to flash this file as the phone should retain this information. However, if in the event your efs does become corrupt you can flash the efs partition via the Heimdall command line tool.
[Galaxy Tab General] caveman999:
Thanks for the detailed response.

What program would you recommend to extract the data file? Would root explorer be suitable?

Thanks
[G Tablet General] cramleir:
Hello,

I've had my G Tablet for a while now, and I recently flashed clockworkmod 3.0.5 earlier today. Unfortunately my tab wont boot anymore. It gets to the Viewsonic screen and just sits hangs. Trying to boot into recovery (power+vol up) does nothing at all, and booting while holding vol down makes it immediately shut back down. I have a microSD that I can use, but I have no idea where to go from here. Hope someone can help.

Thanks

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonentity018:
My Vision's screen has a loose connection. the picture flips up and down, changes colors, and doesn't show up most of the time. I can't see the screen clearly enough to unroot, and since it's a problem with the hardware and not my fault T-Mobile should suck it, anyway. But no one will help me because it's rooted.

Any way to unroot and return to stock with limited screen access, or would I be better off voiding the warranty completely and fixing it myself?

Edit: If I flash the official G2 rom with the engineering HBOOT installed will it brick the phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
I dunno what you can do as far as a personal hardware fix, but if your screen doesn't turn on right, tmo/HTC shouldn't be able to tell if you are rooted at all.

They will probably not even try to fix your phone, but rather send you a replacement. I dunno, worth a shot I guess..

Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonentity018:
I called HTC and they're going to send me a replacement phone. I'm sending them mine and if they can get the screen working they're probably going to resent all the software, too.

So, whatever.

Thanks, anyway.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Just curious if most devs plan on updating to the new recovery. I know cm7 and nils z rom are updated. I like the new recovery and have had zero issues with cm. Will try nils rom tomorrow to check his out as i love tryin stuff out. Thanks in advance for any replies.

Here's the article: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/13/nokia-our-first-priority-is-beating-android/

My first thoughts were....hahahaha! In their dreams.

Open source can't be beat, simple as that. But Google do need to come up with a better strategy for implementing their OS on the devices otherwise fragmentation will drive potential customers away.

In my view WP7 is a step backwards, the UI is horrible with home being filed with tons of tiles that you have to scroll through, no real multitasking, locked down like iOS etc, and now Nokia thinks that this move will beat Android. Are they that arrogant?

I did a speed test comparison between DHD and HD7 and WP7 got its ass smacked, it loaded apps/games much slower.

They should of made a better version of N900, that was not a bad phone but could of been a monster.

Your thoughts?

I honestly don't know who even carries Nokia phones anymore They once made really nice phones. Windows mobile or phone 7 or what ever they are calling it this year is in the same boat imo. I carried wm since the HTC 8125. And year after year I pationatly waited for ms to get it right, and they never did. It did get better in terms of reliability but I still had to reset my tilt 2 a few times a week.

I think the team up could be good for them but I could care less.

To me, It's like 2 old men in your neighborhood teaming up and thinking they are gonna take back that snow shoveling biz that they had when they were kids all the while everyone already has the youngsters down the street with their self propelled snow blowers that knock out the jobs in no time.

They pissed off most of us loyal wm folks along time ago and you know how that saying about screw me once, screw me twice goes....not gonna happen to me.

Speaking of steps backwards hows the whole no GPU accelerated UI treating you guys? I'm loving having a homescreen that doesnt look like an iphone ripoff. Nokia has an astounding market share in the European market, they have the power to help drive WP7 much higher. Call it a step backwards if you'd like. It's nice to not have to flash a new rom at least once a week to have a functional phone.

I like Nokias phones. My brother has the n8 and the camera is amazing! hopefully this works out and I'll get a nokia with a xenon flash
[Off-topic] ErOR22:
There it is, that's what I was waiting for.

UI is hardware accelerated on 2.3 and up, even 2.2 can have it with a minor file modification. How the no copy/paste going? Or hows the whole can't edit a email when forwarding going? When M$ bring out an update will you jump around like a little schoolgirl and call it innovation? C'mon man, the OS is seriously lacking the most important features, it's shameful.

Sure stock UIs layout is slightly like iPhones but looks nothing like it though. You see, I can make the UI looks how I want which fits my needs, not what a few guys think it should be.

Flashing ROMs has nothing to do with having a functional phone, it's only to improve it further and bring out the potential.

Nokia may help with a few sales but many longtime fans will turn around and look elsewhere for a phone to fulfill their needs.

Why not??? Nokia will beat Android... Didnt u read the article?
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
Important features? in the 2 years I had android I can not remember a single occurrence in which I used C&P or needed to edit a forwarded email. Would it be nice? Sure. Is it necessary? Not at all. The point is while android has these features most of them are haphazardly thrown together and hardly functional where what WP7 has (even though it is lacking some features) truly works without having to jump through hoops. GPU acceleration is possible apparently on 2.3 plus but due to fragmentation and other issues it isn't implemented. If you can truly say the vibrant with its impossible lag or the dodgy touchscreen on the cliq or any of the other ill built phones were functional before custom roms your much more prone to fanboyism than I. It's nice to have a phone that really works, android was a low-end alternative to the iphone, putting it on high end devices is like throwing a Chevy cavalier engine in a lambo, it just makes them look bad except to the community thats always flashing roms which frankl, I dont have the time for any more.
[Off-topic] GnatGoSplat:
I think Nokia partnering with Microsoft to make WP7 phones is a dumb move. Elop was quoted as saying Nokia is like being on a burning oil platform in the North Sea. So what he wants to do, is to jump onto another burning oil platform called WP7? I think it's entirely due to the fact that Elop is a former Microsoft exec!

I wasn't at all surprised, when I read an article yesterday that said investors were so upset with the news that Nokia stock price fell 14% and many Nokia employees were so upset, they used flex time and left work early.

What I think Nokia should have done, is partnered with Google and used Android. These new phones should be supplied with some kind of proprietary libraries or emulation that only works in Nokia phones to allow existing Symbian apps to run seamlessly. That way, it would provide a practical upgrade path for existing Nokia phone owners. This worked great for Apple when they went to OS X which was a completely different UNIX-based architecture, but used Rosetta to allow old PPC Mac OS apps to run. They could even market a play on words with Symbian related to symbiosis.

I just don't see how going to the smartphone platform with the least market share will help matters. WP7 has less market share than even old WinMo 6.x according to current stats.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
Your whole argument is based on the foundation that WP7 in 4 months didn't sell as much as WM did since 03? Really? Ya don't say? Their choices were either be just another fish in the android OEM pool that would have received no more attention and no more rights than any other or be THE manufacturer of WP7. Really though, why would you jump from marketing symbian to marketing some re-skinned version of android... that's like jumping from Windows ME to windows Vista. They're both buggy and both require tons of modification before they're usable. Android only sold because it was marketed by google and essentially looked like a low-end iphone for every carrier. WP7 is innovation, it currently lacks a few basic features but what it does have works and thats more than any other OS except iOS can say and honestly, who wants those hardware limitations and ugly UI?
[Off-topic] willverduzco:
Well, we all know what Vic Gundotra thinks about this...
[Off-topic] GnatGoSplat:
No, my whole argument is based on WP7 being a sales FAIL. The comparison to WM is only a point of reference, because it's generally well accepted that except for a few fanboys, nobody likes WM.

No, their choices were to use Android, a product that people actually WANT, vs WP7, a product that nobody wants. It doesn't matter how awesome or innovative you may think WP7 is, if nobody wants it, nobody's going to buy it. So if Nokia wants to make money, and unless I'm mistaken, but all companies exist to do one thing and that is make money, they should choose the platform that makes money rather than one nobody wants.

You're saying iOS has an ugly UI? Compared to WP7? Seriously? For most people I know (and according to sales figures, most people worldwide), the UI is what turned them off to WP7 and drove them to Android or iOS.
[Off-topic] Thickfreakness:
lol wut?

This is basic functionality I use most days. Even if I used it monthly the whole point is that when I need it it's there, thats the power of android. You don't need all the features every day, but when you do need it its all there ready.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
I will take a speedy UI and no c&p over the opposite any day. No one dropped wp7 and turned to Android or IOS because of the UI. No one has used wp7 because they're a fanboy of either of the other oses and think anything else is wrong. Wp7 in its first poor iteration has a more complete feeling than any of the 30ish Android devices I've owned and that's just sad. Wp7 is small now because people fear change regardless of how much smoother the user experience is.
[Off-topic] GnatGoSplat:
Not true. The only fanboys I know are on this site. I've recently talked to many smartphone n00bs who are getting a smartphone for the first time. Just from playing with the phone in the showroom, they narrow it down to Android or iPhone. WP7 is never even considered. Some people will switch from Android to iPhone and vice versa. People on this forum excluded, I don't know anyone who has even considered going from iPhone to WP7 or Android to WP7. Even my wife, who isn't even remotely a fanboy, has no interest in WP7 simply because she doesn't like how, "it looks so plain and boring". Maybe people would love WP7 if they actually used it for awhile, but Microsoft can't even get them through the door, much less reel them in.

WP7 isn't bad. But neither is the iPhone. I see WP7 competing more with iPhone than Android.

That said, they screwed the pooch on the CP, editing emails, stupid stuff like that. That's basic functionality there is NO EXCUSE for leaving out. Period.

Their closed design is like that of iPhone. The iPhone's closed design is exactly why Android prospers. And this ALONE is why any kind of a WP7 partnership will fail. It's simply a copy of what Apple is doing.

I had hopes for WP7 originally but after I found out it's a walled garden approach just like Apple they flew out the window.
[Off-topic] ErOR22:
GPU acceleration is on 2.3 but possible on 2.2/2.1.

I heard many bad stories about Vibrant/Cliq but the fact that those phones were a failure was not due to Android but the manufactures not putting in the hard work. Android was a low-end alternative to the iphone...

I was a big fan on WP7 before it was released, always looking at new info and seeing how awesome it will be and then I tried it, everything fell apart. Ugly, boring, going through menus is not different except the UI style, it didn't save me any time, I found it really lacking and just felt like I was locked in, same feeling I get when I use iOS. Also those cool ultra smooth animations seem to be there to hide the fact that apps take quiet a bit of time to load and those animation just make things worse as you have to wait until it's finished before you can go somewhere else.

UI aside, feature wise is what determines if I will buy that phone or not. I want to be able to customize, flash roms/kernels/radio, swap sd cards, put some movies on the phone via USB storage and watch them with ease, steam movie from my computer, copy whatever from my computer, play Playstation/NES/SNES games when I feel like it when I'm out, modify system files, overclock, copy/paste (i use this daily!!), multitask with ease without jumping through windows, run Ubuntu, remote desktop/VNC, ftp and so much more. If the phone can't do that then my money goes else where.

In another words, if I want a phone I will use my k810i or i900 but I want a pure smartphone and that I only get from my Desire HD.

Word.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
Where do people get that 2.3 is GPU accelerated because I'm still not seeing it, every google item says that it is not. It is possible, yes, but it has to be hardware specific and no manufacturer has set that up properly. Anyway, it sounds like you want a computer with phone capabilities. I prefer a phone with some computer capabilities. Basic gaming, good browser, email support, good mp3 player, maps, etc. It doesnt matter what system files you modify though at no point does the smoothness reach that of WP7... It will always feel like nothing but lag to anyone who has used WP7. I guess were cursed with the need for a quality product.

Nokia deal is a total sell out.

First talks started in 2009 b/w Microsoft and Nokia to bring the Office suit to the Symbian - here is the address b/w then MS exec Elop and Nokia VP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbzsXb5Z36c

Fast forward to today and Nokia got the Office in the full suit of WP7.

With all this talk about Nokia being the leader in the mobile device share, I wonder how the sales are going to look this year. Symbian is done with. Intel is extremely disappointed with the announcement, and is flying solo on MeeGo.

As I said before, I hope Google realizes the opportunity and hires the brightest of the Nokia's former devs and tech execs.

Nokia used to make very good basic cell phones.

Since the popularity of data (From 2G and on), they've lost relevance though. I think it might have to do with the software they use, more so than them being inherently crappy. Stick Android on their devices and they might gain some relevance again.
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
Yes stick another laggy UI that's not finger friendly on their devices to improve it. Android is pretty much Symbian with more support. Then they'd be just another irrelevant android OEM in the big pool of android OEMs. In joining WP7 they are the frontrunner of OEMs on something new that is the first innovative OS in some time.

I don't know where you get that Android is laggy. There is no lag at all on my 1GHz Android devices, they're as smooth, fast, and responsive as the iPhone.
