I've seen so many threads about honeycomb not being able to be put on phones, but that's actually quite wrong. If you select 130 as dpi instead of 160, it boots up just fine at 800x480 (try once or twice - even at 160 the emulator might load the wrong ui). :) I saw that the incredible and evo 4g ports were using the wrong ui - simply because of too high of a dpi for the resolution. Try 130 in your emulators.

So I wouldn't mind having a bit of honeycomb for you magicians who are into this whole scene.

Easy info, but hey - what am I here for? Haha.

No more FC of the launcher!

[Desire HD General] nex7er:
Honeycomb shows that UI whenever the DPI does not correspond to the resolution of the device. That port is with the dpi set at default (which should be either 160 or 240). Setting it to 130 or below loads the actual honeycomb interface. Try it yourself.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
The problem with that screenshot is that Honeycomb from what we've seen so far is intended to be used in landscape mode... but we primarily use our phones in portrait..

I am seeking an explanation as to how a wallpaper setting manager to sneak through this process:

install Apex > full sbf > root > install liberty > full sbf > the wallpaper i had set for apex appears on first boot as the set wallpaper but not in the first sbf or in liberty, but after the second sbf...

How is this possible?
[Droid 2 Android Development] mcmillanje:
Your wallpaper choice is saved in your google account if you have "back up settings" checked. Did you log into gmail? If so, it will come back.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
You should generally wipe cache/data from the stock recovery even after an SBF, some times things survive that you would not expect until after you have done that as well. I had the HTC Thunderbolt boot animation persist after an SBF until I wiped cache...
[Droid 2 Android Development] Matt4542:
Sometimes things stick around. I still have the Liberty boot animation after about 20 sbf's.
[Droid 2 Android Development] mrkite38:
Some apps also store prefs on sdcard (probably not the case here) so if you reload the app after loading the new ROM, it may mysteriously 'keep' the old settings.

I haven't tested it on a PC yet, but will update when I do, in the meantime, any ideas would help! :)

[Dell Venue] nounousomes:
This is a simple little guide that'll show you how to back up the phone without the famous nandroid. So as we can use it to get fastboot to work and restore the phone back without nandroid.

adb shell	//enter the device native shell

$ su	//enter the secure shell (make sure your screen is unlocked when you run this command, then click allow when the window pops up on the phone's screen)

# cat /proc/mtd	//show device partitions

Here's an example output. Note: not all phones are like this, some have different partitions. This just happens to be the structure of the my old LS670.

cat /proc/mtd

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00700000 00020000 "boot"

mtd1: 07c20000 00020000 "cache"

mtd2: 00700000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd3: 00140000 00020000 "splash"

mtd4: 00700000 00020000 "FOTA_STO"

mtd5: 09e80000 00020000 "system"

mtd6: 0a4e0000 00020000 "userdata"

mtd7: 00080000 00020000 "misc"

mtd8: 00180000 00020000 "persist"

Then we will back them up to the SD card

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/boot.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/cache.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/recovery.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/splash.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd4 > /sdcard/FOTA_STO.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd5 > /sdcard/system.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd6 > /sdcard/userdata.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd7 > /sdcard/misc.img

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd8 > /sdcard/persist.img

Similiarly for the others..

To restore your phone to it's previous state, you'll need fastboot which should come with the SDK.

# exit //exit the secure shell

$ exit //exit the device native shell

fastboot flash boot /sdcard/boot.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash cache /sdcard/cache.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash splash /sdcard/splash.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash FOTA_STO /sdcard/FOTA_STO.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash system /sdcard/system.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash userdata /sdcard/userdata.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash userdata /sdcard/misc.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot flash persist /sdcard/persist.img	//wait for 'sending...OKAY / writing...OKAY'

fastboot reboot	//reboot the device

After that, you can zip all of the img files and upload it for us.

This will be really appreciated.

Update me if you need any help

Please Dell Venue Users, help us restore our bricked devices

Thank you
[Dell Venue] Sofakingdope79:
Clarification...

Let me make sure I understand this correctly...

All I need to do to create an update.zip to restore the phone is:

Take these 9 image files from the phone, zip them, name the zipped folder "update.zip"?

Will doing this potentially fix all the "bricked" dell vunes?

If so... Can that "update.zip" folder be flashed from fastboot?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryroberts:
I am getting ready to room my Captivate and move to Froyo however of course I need to do a backup of the stock rom on here phone and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if a 8GB microsd card will be ok for the job?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
that's tons of space!

The backup will be done on the internal sdcard. so you won't need the external one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryroberts:
lol I thought it was too but I was not for sure. This will be my first time doing anything like this so just trying to make sure I do it all right. So it sounds like the 8GB should be fine then to back up my stock stuff and then get to rooting and doing a ROM. Thanks! Gonna order the 8GB card now. Can't wait!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
you shouldn't need to order a card for backing up. the captivate has about 13 gig's of internal storage. You just need to make sure you have enough free space on your internal card to make the back up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryroberts:
Yeah but I thought it would be much safer if I did the backup to a SD card. That way if something really goes bad I would have that to restore from. Do you think it would be safe then to just use the internal?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
That's all I have ever used. Once the backup is made you can copy it to your computer for safe keeping.

And as far as I know you can only backup to the internal sd.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larryroberts:
Ah ok sounds good. Man I have a ton to learn. All new to this.

So which ROM would you recommend? I just want Froyo for my Samsung Captivate but I want everything to work also.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ133169:
go for the cognition 3.00+ or the ultimate rom in the forum. most stable bug free fast and good battery life.

[Windows Phone 7 General] comeradealexi:
No because you wont be using any data cause the data connection is off
[Windows Phone 7 General] cbebop7:
In the current version of WP7, Data connection = 3G data so if you have

settings > Cellular > Data connection = OFF then your 3G data plan will not be used.

I am on the 200MB ATT plan but I leave my 3G data always ON and still have not used more than 15MB in the past week. I have 2 email accounts (gmail, hotmail) with auto sync ON and the Yahoo account set to MANUAL SYNC which I only sync on WiFi;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
FYI: 3G isn't just used for data, but also for voice and text.

3G incorporates better encryption and security than say standard GSM and 2G, hence why phone companies tend to try and use 3G/H if possible as it better protects the end user.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eried:
Thanks everyone! I am much more relaxed now.

I investigated where my mb did go, and I think was a celullar operator failure because the friday I have used like 14 mb in less than a minute in several connections 1.6mb -> 2mb -> 2mb ... the same minute.

Very obscure issue, but tomorrow I will call the support to get more info.

Hi all,

Thanks anyone for sharing experiences.

My initial config:

- HTC Desire Z unbranded

- Hboot 0.85.0008

- microp-0425

- radio-26.04.02.17_M2

- S-ON (guess so)

I ugraded to 1.72 from OTA. yeah it's bad...

Anyway, I was following the thread [GUIDE] Downgrade your Desire-Z from 1.72 to 1.34 (and get root and S-OFF)

At the step 3: I took the PC10IMG.zip

I did all stuff until step 16 when i get stuck.

On the terminal emulator, i get this:

I have permission denied if i try to list (ls) "/data/local/tmp"

Now, my computer can not recognize my phone anymore with "adb devices" under windows or linux. HTC sync doesn't too :S

What should i do now?

Thanks in advance,

Nota: I got the # at the step 5
[G2 and Desire Z General] OneUp03:
You could try re-installing adb drivers or maybe re-install PC10IMG.zip and see if you can get back in there.

Another option might be to follow this guide (only works if radio was downgraded, which at that step it should have been) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928160

Well guys, this would be a first:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Htc-HD-2-batter...311?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb4d8f5af

But hold on though. It almost looks like a plain old re wrapped Li-Ion battery. The guys feedback makes me skeptical, too. Looks like he's new to Ebay.

Thoughts?
[HD2 Accessories] AntonJart:
I believe its the same old crap. They say its 1600mA. But in reality even worse than standard 1200 mA. Price talks for itself.
[HD2 Accessories] FireDemonSiC:
You know I see alot of talk about these 1600mah batteries from Japan and alot of speculation, but I have never seen anyone do any real world testing. I was planning on buying one of the 1600mah batteries and doing a setcpu stress test on it as well as the stock battery and record the results of how long it took each to fully discharge.
[HD2 Accessories] DarkScorpion01:
Do it! If you become the guinea pig and the battery is indeed better, then you would be a hero in these parts lol.
[HD2 Accessories] boomboomer:
The last battery I bought was a 'genuine' htc 1200mah from an amazon seller, turned out to be a fake that was obviously not htc.

Be careful with testing unknown batteries from unreliable sources, the fake one I had got very hot and was a poor fit into the phone. These phones are very temperature sensative and you would not want a lithium fire inside your HD2!
[HD2 Accessories] Garrett92C:
So is anyone willing to do some battery tests? I would be so happy if I could use a 1600 mAh battery and not need one of those huge, bulky battery covers. :D
[HD2 Accessories] Silberpfeil3110:
You should be very careful if you try a battery from an unknown or not certificated source. I read about many cases, where people bought some cheap batteries which turned into a little bomb, because of some reason. and i don't know if i want to end up in a roll chair for my whole life just because of a 20€ cheaper battery. A battery can damage your phone not only by heat. Such batteries have also some extra hard- AND software for controlling purposes integrated and if there's a problem, it could cause other problems in your phone.

The normal 1230mAh battery is not very bad, one day for such a huge display and some other features is enough. and if i have to go to the jungle and can't charge my phone i will buy the bigger battery and won't mind about the thickness of my phone ^^

Just my thinkings ;)
[HD2 Accessories] AntonJart:
I actually can confirm, I can go with my phone with minimal to moderate use for several days. But when I am at work and playing with it nonstop - 4 hours maximum. That is why I got myself a GTMax battery ;)
[HD2 Accessories] FireDemonSiC:
I would also agree with this statement. None-the-less, I ordered one of the 1600mah batteries yesterday. We're gonna have to wait a few weeks for it to clear customs however before I can do any testing.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
Not the first...

I have the andida 1600 Ma and it is labeled as Lithium Polymer.
[HD2 Accessories] yassy:
I bought a 1600 mAh labeled battery from eBay which came with very good packaging and even a tin case. The labels on the sticker make it seem fancy and trustworthy. However, in my experience comparing that battery with the stock HTC 1230 mAh battery, there is no increase in uptime. On Aondroid both batteries read 1230 mAh. Even though the 1600 mAh battery claims to have that capacity it really does not. I even weighed both batteries on a scale. The 1600 mAh Li-on battery weighs less than the HTC original battery.
[HD2 Accessories] Silberpfeil3110:
It's not possible that a stronger battery is as big as the stock one. most of these people only put another label on a stock battery (or rebuild battery with the same power) and sell it for a higher price. I'm sure you won't get a Li-Ion battery with the same size as the stock one but stronger. With a Li-Po battery it's makeable but not easy and they'll have a higher price because of that.
[HD2 Accessories] stevedebi:
The price makes me suspicious as well. I don't notice a lot of difference in device up time with my Andida battery, but it is still new and it may increase as I get past those initial cycles.

... if I don't reflash more NRG ROMs! They give strange readings for the first few battery cycles after a flash. I just flashed one yesterday, so it will be a while before it settles down.

The Chinese knockoff battery got here today. We're about to find out if it can hold It's own once I put it through the first few charge cycles.

Hi all,

I called my local ATT store an will be pre-ordering the Atrix tomorrow, I'm currently on Sprint. He said something about setting up a temporary number and doing the port when the phone comes in. Does anyone know what he's talking about? And is there any deals or incentives that I should ask about for switching carriers?
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
When you order the phone you just don't port your number. Once you know you're happy with the service, you port your number, which will cancel your Sprint account. Otherwise, if you DO port your number right away and you end up cancelling your account within that 30 day window, you'll lose your phone number. That's what he was talking about.

[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Thanks for letting us know:

1. What you were doing when it crashed.

2. What type of phone you have.

3. Whether or not you're using a 3rd party MicroSD card in the slot.

4. What actually happens when it crashes (phone freezes, app just closes, middle finger graphic comes up on the screen, what does it do?)

5. Were you on WiFI, EDGE, 3G, GPRS?

6. Are you sure the device isn't defective (And/or prematurely failing on you? In this case, the OS has nothing to do with it - can happen on any phone running any Smartphone OS)

7. Other trivial information that can cause us to come to better conclusions.

Instead, you plummel us with bad grammar, vulgarities, and a rant that will certainly accomplish nothing due to #s 1-5.

BTW, you should back up all important information on any device. Laptop, Tablet PC, Desktop PC, Smartphone, Thumb Drive, etc. It's not Microsoft's fault if you lose you fault due to data loss. Important information should be backed up and IIRC Windows Phone 7 is capable of keeping the Camera Roll Sync'd up with SkyDrive.

I give you 3/10, though.
