[Droid 2 Android Development] danthemanohhyea:
You posted this in the wrong section.

However, if you've got the phone plugged in, you can remove the battery. You're killing batteries due to the heat and the constant charging. Lithium Ion batteries don't enjoy being roasted, nor do they enjoy being charged all the time.

Also, if the phone is getting that hot, perhaps you should place an icepack on it, making sure to put something between the phone and the ice pack to prevent the condensation/moisture from destroying your phone.

I'm assuming that you're doing "illegal" tethering, in which case, using it as your primary source of internet, I'd hope Verizon never gets keen to you or your bill will bankrupt you for sure.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Quacker:
Exactly... you might want to rethink your tethering strategy.
[Droid 2 Android Development] phillybizzle:
I keep my phone on the dock with a mini fan for the heat. I tried pulling the battery but phone won't boot without it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] danthemanohhyea:
Take the battery out after the phone is on.
[Droid 2 Android Development] shivsmo:
you cant just take out the battery and plug it in, i just tried. i leave mine in the window and check on it every now and then, if it gets over 100 degrees i stop tethering for awhile, but i can play DCUO on my laptop for about 3 hours before i have to shut it down if its cold enough outside.
[Droid 2 Android Development] danthemanohhyea:
I've ran my phone without the battery installed quite a few times, never had problems..

You must turn on phone without charger plugged in, then plug in charger, then remove battery.
[Droid 2 Android Development] shivsmo:
It doesn't work I just tried, followed your steps exactly. My Droid 2 shuts off and tries to restart but comes to a screen with a battery symbol and a question mark inside of the battery, basically the phone is saying " wait, where the **** is my battery". If all your guys' phone's work without the battery then mine is like the only one that doesn't.
[Droid 2 Android Development] danthemanohhyea:
Dunno what to tell you, works for me. :confused:
[Droid 2 Android Development] shivsmo:
Really, wow lol.
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
Are you stock? if not what ROM do you use because I'm running Liberty 1.5 and I just tried it connected to AC power and it rebooted like what was said.
[Droid 2 Android Development] danthemanohhyea:
I think I was using a version of Fission ROM, but I don't remember.. I don't tether too much anymore since my work got wifi installed.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GoCkillaz:
Ok, so I think there is something wrong with my phone. I flashed a kernel over a rom a few days ago, and out of nowhere, the phone started heating up ridiculously fast.

I wiped everything, and installed the ROM normally, and the heating issue remained.

So today, I installed CM on my phone, thinking that the original ROM was the cause of all of it.

As it turns out, it's not.

When the phone is asleep, the battery is at 98.6 F. When I send a text message, it jumps to 100.4 F.

In spare parts, it says that the battery condition is GOOD, so idk what the problem could be here. Should I wipe battery stats or something?

And before any of you say anything about multitasking-- Wifi is on, GPS Off, Data On. I am running text messaging, and a few other things [dialer, etc]. Nothing extravagant. I have run youtube, music, and 3 other battery intensive apps before and nothing has ever heated up before. Idk wtf is going on right now.
[Fascinate General] Fyrmedic654:
I seem to be having issues sending picture messages to non VZW people since the EB01 update, no matter what rom I use (stock, stock deodexed, or super clean 2.2). Tried searching, but found nothing. Anyone else with this issue, or a fix? Thanks in advance

[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
Hey anyone running.froyo or.honeycomb want.to run ditty and see how many touch points your screen can see.

Rooted stock allows two, wondering it its a kernel thing?
[Nook Color General] EugeneKay:
2. Touch panel limitation.
[Nook Color General] BrianDigital:
Ah to bad i was hoping it was kernel thing my evo atfirst went from two to five after some kernel work

Thanks man
[Nook Color General] k4str0:
I'm pretty sure the Cypress touchscreen in the Nook Color can support more than 2 (think it's 10 but would have to check Cypress website again.) The problem is the cyttsp i2c kernel driver is only coded to work for 2. Hoping that Cypress creates an updated driver that we could use for more touch points. Maybe someone with much greater skill or time could update the driver. I've seen patches in LKML (and other places on the web) to get you started. :)

[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
From what I've read I'm fairly certain its a kernel limitation.

Titanium Backup Pro

Agree with that for firmware but there is also Nandroid for user data and a few others.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup

Awesome for backing up contacts, apps, app save data and everything else without saving all your system files etc.. after all, you might want to load a different firmware - there are many here and they are growing every day (these are sometimes called rom's - but are not - they are firmware) it's free for most functionality but if you want to backup to your own dropbox - this is the biz and worth a few dollars!

SMS Backup +

Jan Berkel

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync

Then backing up your SMS, MMS and Call log - this is awesome and its free!

One last thing - You should really check out @Dropbox. It's hot. http://db.tt/wy2bu4n

Hello Guys,

I was a real fool today. I wanted to Flash my SGS as usual. But this time I thought I want to delete ALL. So i formated all disks, whell at least even the SD-Card. Now I haven't any OS nor I can install one.

As you may have already noticed I'm a nearly newby and I don't really know how I can fix this. Can you help me?

BTW: I've got the CWM.

Thanks for your Support!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riverriz:
If u have CWM u should have Download mode too (power button + home button + vol down). If so, u can flash a new firmware through Odin. Ive never heard of the OS being deleted or formatted so a simple flash should do it. Read more on how to flash a firmware through odin.

[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
Id suggest you to install pc companion on the main sony ericsson site and update from there it is the safest way! :)
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
debrand is basically leaving the phone like if it's factory reset and if it just came out from the factory

worths cause you won't wait that much for any update as if you were using a branded fw

take a look to this http://www.youtube.com/user/bluechipj

will help you to install the newest fw

remember debranding the phone will wipe all the data so make sure you make a backup 1st
[XPERIA X10 General] Brunop10:
I tried that but it says im on the latest one, 1.6. I live in the united states and apparently there is no 2.1 update yet.
[XPERIA X10 General] alankstiyo:
cause your fw depends on your carrier

debrand your x10 it worths
[XPERIA X10 General] BluechipJ:
It's pretty straightforward.

- Install Sony Ericsson Update Service: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup.../detailed/updateservice/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en

- Install Sony Ericsson PC Companion: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pccompanion/xperiax10?cc=gb&lc=en

[required since they install drivers on your computer]

- Download and extract the graphical flash tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10738467

- Download the X10a generic firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10738467 (2.1.A.0.435)

Flash.

Watch the videos for step by step.

Rooting = enabling programs to access the system (e.g. Titanium Backup, Barnacle WiFi Tether, etc.)

Debranding = removing carrier logo, apps, disabled options (2G, Unknown Sources, etc.)

Unlocking = use other carrier's SIMs

All three are separate, independent, and optional.

u dont need to debrand.

help x10 1.6 to 2.1

Ok i need to make sure i get this right. Firts i download flash tool, then i download the x10a generic update, then i open the flash thing an click flash, then i wait until it says put phone in flash mode and then click flash again, and then after that it is done?

I have a question on this last step

IMPORTANT:

- You should always wipe userdata if you switch between Android versions (1.6 <-> 2.1). If not your phone will keep restarting all the time. This is the same for some providerbrandings even if you flash between same Android versions. So if you have this restarting problem, flash again with Wipe Userdata. If you don't want to loose your apps you have to backup them with Titanium or some other backup tool!

What does that mean or what do i have to do?

And also if i mess up does it mess up my phone?

I just purchased my Free (after mailin rebate) G2. I rooted and added eng SPL for fastboot. then installed Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.5 via ROM manger and last did a nand-backup and installed Cyanogyn 6.1.1. Only to find that the GPS chip seems to be bad! when I run GPS test or GPS status, all the satellites status indicators (signal strength bars and dots on map) blink on and off. Sometimes they will stay on for a few seconds to lock, but then blink off again. To prove it's not Cyanogyn mod causing the issue I did a nand-restore to stock 1.19 and the problem is still there.

So I'm thinking about returning the phone. Since when I restore back to stock rom it keeps wanting to upgrade me to 1.22 via OTA. My question is if I let it upgrade it self to 1.22 will it remove perma root and ENG SPL? or will it hose the phone?!

thanks

Ok. I know there are several video players at the market. But not sure which is the best on the SGT.

I have VLC player on several of my machines at work and at home. It has become my #1 media player. Also, I have videos in these formats:

Extension: .mp4

- -video codec: H264 - MPEG 4 AVC (avc1) 480x192 @ 24 fps

- -audio codec: MPEG AAC (mp4a) 48khz

Extension: .ogv

- -video codec: Xiph.org Theora (theo) 1280x544 @ 24 fps

- -audio codec: Vorbis Audio (vorb) 48khz

I need a player that supports those video formats as well as others like xvid, .mov & .avi

Video Player help???

Hey guys,

I have a Spring Galaxy Tab. I have it rooted and everything. I've been trying to find a all in one video player but none of them seems to be working correctly. I have several movies and videos I converted to watch on my EVO or my Zune HD, but now that I have my tab, I would like use them there too. All the videos are in Mp4 format with either a 320x240 res 600x480 (forget what the numbers are but its the level above 320x240).

Vplayer - starts up and immediately shouts down. The the icon changes and is grayed out with a little memory card icon on it. Then I have to uninstall it.

Divx Demo Player (Rock player with extras) - and it wont play anything. But it plays any format of video or movie on my Evo.

Rock Player - I have the new version from the site and it wont play anything

Seems like nothing is working.. Most times it gives a error saying the video formats are not supported. But I have all these video player on my Evo (Which I know is a completely different device) but I'm wondering if my TAB needs video codecs or something?

Any ideas?

Some of the movies I used the iPhone 4 profile.:H.264, 960x640 res, 30fps, 1500kbps birate.

And some using the iPod Touch mp4 profile: mp4 video codec, 640x480 res, 30fps, 2500kbps bitrate.

So now I see why they arent working, although both of those profiles work for the Evo and Zune HD,.

What is the complete best video format, res,frame etc... for the Sprint Galaxy Tab?
[Droid Pro General] vivid22:
Hi all,

I am about to import an activated (with included Verizon unlock code) Droid Pro into the UK so all the essential bases should be covered. However, I saw that some people were having real problems with getting 3G reception on their Droid Pros in Europe. Does anybody have any experiences about using the Droid Pro in the UK, specifically on Virgin and/or T-Mobile??

Many thanks!
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
Mine has been fine. I used it for a while on T-Mobile, and I was able to pick up 3G or HSPA pretty much everywhere. I'm on 3 now, but I'm thinking about going back to T-Mobile because the 3 signal seems to cut out randomly, and I can't seem to access the internet very much. I went with 3 because they're the only ones that let you use up to 1GB, but what's the point, if you can't access it anyway?
[Droid Pro General] vivid22:
Haha, yes very true. Check out Virgin! I am on a 15GBP/month plan with 500mins, unlimited texts and 1gb of internet, they use T-Mobile's lines thats why I was asking... Best deal I have found around so far! Oh and I should say its a pay-monthly contract.

Thanks so much for the quick reply, I will proceed to actually buying it... would you recommend it generally?
