[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
according to the instructions here the command you should be issuing is adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid you appear to be issuing adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*cid that would appear to be your problem, also the thread here suggests you should be using mmc2 not mmc1, try again copying the commands verbatim (personally I use copy and paste to make sure there is no transposition of characters)

Edit: Realise I was to slow to reply and Andy had already said the above, but hey it bears repeating

btw this line here for flashing the hboot

dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

is the block meant to be block or blck??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
You probably already figured it out, it's block. But I guess the command will just give an error if you spell it wrong.

I just received my exchange DVP. I must say I was surprised it came in a brand new box with all accessories where as most company's just send you a new phone only and you keep all your accessories from your defective phone. My question is : How do I return the defective unit; they didn't put a return prepaid slip in any of the boxes from which the phones came in ?... I've tried calling customer service but they seem very busy today, was on hold for almost an hour and gave up and came here !

Thanks
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
if your replacement DVP didn't come with a return shipping label you'll have to get ahold of Dell so they can e-mail you a link where you can print a shipping label.
[Venue Pro General] dede0380:
Thanks, I guess thats what I'll have to do, the only thing that came with it was the usual stuff and the packing slip on the side of the box
[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
Usually Dell will mail you UPS return labels seperately. Look for it in the mail soon if you haven't received it yet. Then just slap the label on the box that the replacement was shipped with and you are set.

About the SGS II .... 4.3" @ 800x480 ? And they'd probably try to market it at like 600 quid - initially at least.... They also could have done a bit better, I think. I really hope both companies would get the appropriate market feedback. But human intellect follows a normal distribution hence advertising works quite well.

Hi all.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/contact-owner/com.appengine.paranoid_android.lost
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantom1275:
I have found a way. My SIM must contain my number, so the contact I have created for me is associated to the SIM number.

The problem is that my SIM card did not contain it (you can check it in settings->about phone->phone status), and Android can't write it to the SIM. So I took it, put in an old V3 RAZR (there I can edit it), put my cell number in the SIM card, and got it back to my Nexus S.

Done! Now, for example, my contact card/picture is shown within the messages I send.

[Captivate General] new2you:
Okay guys I need help with this captivate.

I got this captivate and have installed almost every single rom from this website at least twice and I am still not able to make or receive calls. The wifi works perfect no matter what rom I use. Everything else works perfect even the GPS.

I have tried (4) different activate sim cards in this but I am still not able to get or receive calls. I have tried every single trick I can find for setting the APN settings as well. The sims I tried are from active carriers like; t-mobile,AT&T,Boost as well as TracFone, even tried an active Pre-paid sim.

The phone is completely rooted and unlocked. I also verified this with the codes used to check.

My question is: Is there any other way I can check the radio on this to see if maybe it is bad other then to keep trying different sim cards?

ATTN MODERATORS: PLEASE MOVE THIS TO THE CORRECT THREAD IF IT IS NOT POSTED IN THE CORRECT ONE. Thanks!
[Captivate General] boborone:
Did it work on stock. If not, take it back.
[Captivate General] new2you:
I wish I could take it back however it is no longer under warranty. About a week ago I tried my personal sim card in it from At&t and was able to get a signal. Now I am not able to get a signal no matter what sim card I use.

After all this I thought well maybe the phone had a bad esn however I would not think that would be case after trying different cards all from different networks and carriers. I do not know how to check the esn or imei anyway.
[Captivate General] alexige:
The phone has a one year warranty, every captivate is still under warranty. Find where a device support center is go in tell them you can't make calls ams they'll give you a new (refurbed) phone. Make sure you are completely stock though.
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
IMEI is on a white sticker behind the battery. There's no way its out of warranty yet, unless that little white sticker above the battery is red. If it's out of warranty due to being rooted/unlocked, use odin to restore before taking it to the store/drop shipping it back.

Currently running :

I'm looking to Change ROM's and I have a couple questions.

1) What is the best Rom for Battery life that has some cool Graffix/annimations

2) Do I have to Flash my Phone back to Stock before I flash a new ROM?

3)I recently Flashed my phone to Darky's 8.1 Somehow i ended up with the I9000 version and it crashed/bricked my phone. I spent 3+ hours restoring a bricked phone. anyone know a fix or a i897 version of this rom??

I liked what I saw of Darky's 8.1 but I need a stable version or a Rom that is Similar.

All help/Suggestions are greatly appreciated

If you're still in the look-see stage as far as ROMs, there are a few that are well worth trying.

Paragon (my fav)

Serendipity

di11i's

Firebird (under new management so to speak)

That's my order of excellence but don't take my word for it. Flash what you like from reading whats offered and have fun. Follow the steps listed in each and you shouldn't have any issues. While not necessary to ODIN to stock, it's a good idea to get used to it in case you bork your phone and need to exchange it.

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kalipedia:
Out now in the market, but has major issues right off the bat, notably no sound or notification settings. Sort of ridiculous to launch without those!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
The lack of notifications kind of sucks. Been playing it and aside from those, there doesn't seem to be any other bugs.

I do get a visual notification in the status bar but without audio, its a pain.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tonym2015:
It keeps giving me a force close error. Anyone have any idea why? ive uninstalled plenty times, and even cleared the data. problem persists.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ctraywick1:
Email the dev

*I'm just sayin...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
After using it for the past few days, I do get FC's on a fairly regular basis. Not so much that it makes it unusable, but definitely enough to make it annoying.

I've read some other threads and this is one of the 'bugs' that needs to be ironed out. Hopefully they have an update for these bugs soon.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] PatrickHuey:
It'll get updates,don't worry.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] martonikaj:
The first time I installed it was plagued with all kinds of crazy stupid bugs and connection errors.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, and notifications etc. are working so far. Haven't used it a ton yet.

I can say that so far the UI etc. really isn't very good. and FULL PAGE ADS after every turn? extremely annoying. Considering how annoying they make it with ads, im surprised theres no paid version too...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
I'm sure there will be updates. Question is when. Did take them a while to get the game out on Android.

I read on their website that a pay version without all the ads will be available in the future as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kalipedia:
Update now available via the market...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] martonikaj:
Update fixed many issues with closes and errors, and gave options menu for sounds and notifications.

My current issues are:

1) Even when phone is on silent, the game sounds still play

2) I'm seeing some pretty serious battery drain issues since installing the game, even though I have the notifications push at 30 minutes. I've used other scrabble-type games for a long time with constant push notifications and never had battery drain like this. I feel like the crazy amount of ads really wastes lots of battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
The update has definitely brought on some improvements but there is still a ways to go.

I still do not get any audio notifications. The visual popup works in the status bar but nothing audible. (Yes sounds are checked in settings and volume on device, both ringer and media is up)

I'm not getting as many FC's as I was before, but that doesn't say much as they were all too common at launch.

I have also noticed the battery drain. Not sure what exactly is causing it. Over the last three days my game play has been about the same. Day 1 drain was very bad. Day 2, it was normal. Day 3, very bad again. We will see what today brings...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] btate0121:
maybe i'm missing something. I can't get this thing to stay open at ALL. it always FC's on me before I can even do anything. I've tried on both CM6 and CM7.

Any ideas? I've emailed the devs twice.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] martonikaj:
Seems like a mixed bag for everyone. I'm sure they've gotten 10's of thousands of e-mails. Gonna be a while before its stable gotta just wait it out.

I can get audio notifications when it pops into the status bar, only it doesn't seem to be effected by the sound status of my phone, so I just turned it off for now.

I have also noticed battery drain. I've been making maybe 20-30 plays per day maximum over a few games and my battery is just tanking. Words with Friends shows up in my battery status chart as 3%-5% of battery (which in itself is bad that its actually a quantifiable amount of battery drain), but I know its gotta be draining more, even with notifications on a 30min timer. I've been using WordSmith (very similar) for a few weeks now with

push

notifications and way more plays with no effect on my battery life so this is a Words with Friends issue.

I should also note that the last few times I've opened the app, something regarding the banner ad at the bottom of the page crashes, and blankets the whole screen with an HTML error. Sometimes it disappears and the ad blanks out, but other times I can't do anything about it. I don't think this is related to running the adFree Android app, but who knows with the level this app is running right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] martonikaj:
So you think it has something to do with adFree? I'm not sure about that as it works sometimes and not others, and it used to work fine before the update and now it doesn't. Cuz sometimes WWF will load just fine with a black bar at the bottom (per usual when u have adFree installed) and I can use it fine. But i'd say about 2/3 the time I get the full-screen HTML ad error. I haven't seen this happen in any other app ever and I've had adFree for several months now. Really weird.

Decided to just uninstall. Really not worth the hassle.

Noticed instantly after uninstall my battery stopped draining. Hope they fix the issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] element4life3:
I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was to go into AdFree, and hit the "Revert" button, and that seemed to fix the weird HTML errors. Hope this helps! :)

Did a search but found nothing substantial on this:

Does anyone notice their Google Maps is constantly running? And I don't mean in the cached menu. It's running in the "used" column (left column of the "Running" apps screen.

I'm certain Latitude is off, in fact, I unchecked all the location update options and then signed out of Latitude.

What's causing Maps to constantly stay open? Even after I close it and Stop it from the Running apps menu, it reappears moments later by itself.

Anyone know a definitive answer as to why?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
The answer I gave to someone asking about Task Killers earlier today in another thread pretty much answers your concerns here. I'll quote it below.

In addition to the explanation of why you shouldn't worry about killing apps I'll add that on my phone Maps is also always running, but it's not sucking up any resources I need (like juice or cpu) so I don't care that it's "running"...and neither should you unless you see it misbehaving.

Android's memory manager has decided that Maps is one you'll need or want running, so it's going to keep re-loading it until something else with a higher priority takes its place.

If you really just can't stand that it's running or it's affecting performance of the phone, there's a root-required app in the Market called AutoStarts, which let's you mark apps as not being allowed to start automatically under a particular situation. You could use that to mark Maps as not able to start on bootup or whatever, but be aware, Android will just load up a different app to fill up that unused memory space...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasparzim:
Sometimes it happens to me, but a reboot solves this issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
Thanks Distorted for the explanation. A few more questions:

How come if Google feels it's necessary to keep it open, it's not in the Cache menu? They feel they have to keep it up and running? It can't be cached? Why? I'm mostly just curious about this.

Secondly, also for curiosity's sake, how much percentage does Maps show in your Battery Usage menu? It shows about 2% for me, and that's without actually using it. I'm guessing the 2% is just from running by itself.

It's not detrimental to my performance or my battery (2% is small), but I'm justu wondering why it needs to stay open, and what others' readings are in terms of batt. usage.
