[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek25:
this is exactly what i meant but when u flash the rom IN OP OF THE ROM make sure it states clearly voodoo u cant go wrong with it if YOU are on EXT4 partition and u flash RFS based rom u will brick but if u are on EXT4 partition(voodoo) and You flash voodoo there wont be a problem .

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluttershutter:
Hi,

As per title, parttaioned sd card today using Gparted on Mac. 16gb card became 14gb fat 32 primary and 1gb Ext 4 primary and 32mb linux swap.

SD card worked fine in phone but needed to restore data after wipe so used Mybackup Pro Rooted to restore app's from file after I restored 11GB onto SD card.

It said please reboot to see app's, so I did. Then Boot loop MAJOR! Ginger Villain screen causing me proper nightmares.

I've tried going to recovery and clear memory and that made it boot again but lost everything (backed up on mac though) but gone meanwhile. So bought titanium Pro to batch restore. Wouldn't download, on install just got GV boot screen and after 10 sec's the lock screen.

Went trawling through phone settings and into CyanogenMod settings/application. Ticked 'allow application moving' and selected 'install location' as external. Went to market and got TP to install, which unlocked free version.

Tried running batch command restore as thought i'd backed up TP files from last backup pre messing to Mac, which i'd since restored to SD card. However all app's are crossed out so I'm guessing I missed a file with app's in and there all corrupted.

Can't get market to work again now though. Just goes to boot screen on install again. I don't get it!

I'm going to try a different ROM I think like Oxygen to see if that changes anything but I'm worried its the partitioning, even though it all looks good in TP and mounts fine on Mac with labels I gave. Also worried i've lost market links.

10mins later...

Just installed Oxygen Gingerbread ROM. Going to see if I have any joy with this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badbeats:
Ok I have been here for awhile, and rooted my phone and removed some programs, which really helped my battery.

I waited to upgrade to froyo. I want to do it, but would like the simplest method since I am afraid of bricking the phone. Also I was looking for a ROM that has few problems. I would try them all and see which one I like the best but like I said I am afraid of bricking the phone, so a recommendation would be great.

So In summary

1. I need good battery life

2. relatively simple install

3. a rom with no problems

4. I would like to have OC the phone (as high as possible as long as its stable and does not kill my battery)

Thanks for the help and the suggestions.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musclehead84:
Simplest method to update to froyo is either Odin or use the update.zip if you are on di18. As far as a good rom then I suggest bonsai Rom. It has a kernel already to overclock as well as syndicate rom. Only difference right now is bonsai rom saves all your data for you so you don't have resetup your phone. Any more questions just ask or pm me

Is anyone having difficulty getting certain types of files to transfer? Sometimes it'll stop transferring and I'll have to close explorer.exe. I tried using winamp to sync but I get an error message saying the files are incompatible, even though RockPlayer will work.
[Xoom General] JC3:
Need more info to help you out. What OS and version are you using. What type of video are you trying to transfer (size and format). Are you using the stock USB cable and are you using the USB on the front or back of you computer?
[Xoom General] legato89:
Win 7 ultimate. .mkv files which will play with RockPlayer, about 400mb each. I have to transfer them one at a time it looks like. Dragging the entire folder over freezes the copy process. Im using the stock cable which is inserted in a USB port in the back of my computer.
[Xoom General] JC3:
It might be the fact that the Xoom is recognized as a portable device and not an external drive. When copying over a folder does that warning message say it may not play on the device pop up?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoseth0711:
Hey

Is it possible that someone please could port the latest touchwiz rom to our nexus s? Before the excuse was that the galaxy s was running android 2,2 but now that it has been updated to 2,3 it could maybe be possible and in a devs interest? Thanks a lot. And before someone tells me to port it my self, i will like to say that i have tried.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterDroid:
We might as well just put all our energy's into the TW4.0 rom dropping with the Samsung Galaxy S Two;)

Now that will be worth it;)

JD
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
you didnt have to start another thread about this. there was another thread of this.

and no one said the excuse was TW being on 2.2, the excuse is: "if you want a TouchWiz phone then get Galaxy S2."

other than that. CM7 pretty much has all the features TW has to offer with the exception of video codecs
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoseth0711:
Well as long nothing is happening, there is nothing wrong with keep on asking for it. And i think that there is a huge difference between tw and cm. Its not just the features i want, its more the UI.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
then get a iphone lol.. there's no motivation for people to port TouchWiz framework to NS.

if the UI is what you want look for a themed launcher that looks like iOS
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
There have been a lot of complaints about the flimsy connector for the Xoom charger. I also think that it is a very poor design at most. The metal pin is too long, the plastic part is poking out too much etc.

I am no engineer and also bad at drawing but I attached something that I think might work. If anyone feels like they could produce a prototype that would be awesome!

The small magnet might or might not work. If you look at the area where all the connectors are you will see a small metal plate that could probably be used to anchor the connector magnetically.

Any feedback is appreciated (even just to say that I am full of sh!t!)

UPDATE: I added an alternative design using the two metal connectors for charging and a silicone plug to keep the connectors in place. A magnet will give additional stability.
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
It charges my Xoom very fast. It is still working and has not caused me any issues. If it breaks, I will come back here to *****.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
I was just referring to the connector but thanks for the warning :D
[Xoom Accessories] keitht:
So was I. The stock one works fine however, alternatives are great as well. I just do not see a need for one personally. Others may.
[Xoom Accessories] RonnieFoxxx:
Yeah, the stock connecter scares me. I like your design though I'm not sure anyone here has the means to develop and sell it. I'm hoping maybe someone may find a softwear solution to charge via the USB micro port. What do you guys think, possible or no?
[Xoom Accessories] AndroidFileHost:
I like it! i think its a pretty good idea. Wish i knew someone who could create one. I would buy it. stock one scares me
[Xoom Accessories] generic.imitation:
how the F do magnets work?

anyhow, yeah really good design. I would buy that too.
[Xoom Accessories] evb1:
i just turn it upside down while charging it.
[Xoom Accessories] xlGmanlx:
I would buy one of those
[Xoom Accessories] ritalin:
I have to ask, why you would use that connector at all if you want to redesign a magnetic charger? Why not use the same priciple to connect it to the two plates on the bottom next to the hole for power?

As someone who repairs laptops for a living, this was the single most troubling design aspect of our new toy. It looks like it will be far to easy to damage the internals of this device with the default power cable.

It would make more sense to use a breakaway magnetic connection that makes contact with the two metal plates. I have not looked in to it too far but it would seem that the docs use this and the USB in them is strictly for audio out.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
I was actually wondering if the metal plates would be used for dock charging. Since I don't own a dock I can't check. But if it is then yes, the charger should be attached magnetically! Thanks for the clarification. I'll try to design more options :-)
[Xoom Accessories] Banggugyangu:
My only complaint with the xoom, honestly is the charging system.

For starters, I don't see a reason to not allow charging over USB. Sure the voltage would only be 5v, and it would take considerably longer, but the option would be nice. This isn't to say I want to do away with the 12v charger, because the speed at which it charges is lovely, just the option for the other.

Secondly, the needle-like connector screams, "I want to be broken quickly!" Was there really a need to make the connector in that type and size?

Thirdly, the placement of the charger port is hideous and impractical. It's dead center at the bottom. I rarely use my xoom flat against a surface. I purchased the display portfolio that motorola made. The charger port is not only a hinderance to the utilization of my portfolio case, but is also covered at all times when using the case in any manner that motorola designed it. I'm sure this is simply a brain-fart on motorola's part, which happens to everyone and is understandable, but is there a reason the charger port couldn't have been placed on one of the sides of the device? I would say preferably the left hand side, as people are less likely to turn the device to sit on that side.

I'm not simply posting this to complain, just express my thoughts on the only true fault that I feel the xoom has. On that note, a 90 degree *honestly 180 degree by the design sketch* connector would be lovely, IMO. It still wouldn't be usable with the portfolio case, but it would allow someone to angle the xoom without fear of breaking the charger off inside it.
[Xoom Accessories] markbo2000:
The two metal plates are indeed for charging on the dock. It takes away the need to use the stock charger on the needle tip. Just plug the charger into the dock and set the Xoom on it. I charge this way every time.
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
Only problem is that's a $70-$120 solution ;)
[Xoom Accessories] xlGmanlx:
Why even have the plug then and just use the metal plates?
[Xoom Accessories] funnycreature:
The plug would add additional stability so that it doesn't come off so easily. Not sure how strong you could make the magnets. As I said, I'm no engineer :)
[Xoom Accessories] xlGmanlx:
Makes sense, maybe a smaler nub though haha, otherwise I like the idea
[Xoom Accessories] c0t0d0s2:
Apple has a patent on the magnetically attached charger. Perhaps this is why motorola went the direction that it did.

[XPERIA X8 General] Felipe MacLeod:
Sup, folks? After overcoming the problem with the camera that my unit had (and only got back to work after falling to the ground), I am now experiencing a huge problem.

The phone was working perfectly for 2 or 3 straight days, then suddenly, after some 4 hours of no use and staying still inside my pocket, the screen because unresponsive. That is, I couldn't even slide to unlock the screen, making it completely useless. I tried removing the battery, leaving it of for overnights and trying to use it afterwards. I manage to use pc companion to repair the last update and it came back to life, but after reinstalling my apps (which took me 1 hour) it started to not respond again. Grrr!

I tried reinstalling it twice now and it never worked again.

I run the touch screen service test and I find that only the middle section of the screen is responding, I can drag my finger all over the screen for as much as I want and it only shows a vertical center white line! Like this:

Well mate, if Seus doesn't work, a long long age technic seems to solve that kind of problems, give it some beat ups. lool, it might solve your problem, in your case I thinks it's hardware problem, not software, cous by reflashing original firmware it would solve your problem, you have two choices, warranty, or let it fall down until it works, (kidding / or not), well good luck with it, if it was my phone i would give it a beat and some punches, after that warranty :P
[XPERIA X8 General] HC21A:
Well,same problem here. The difference is that I dont know any phisical demage,like dropping or sg like this was happening to my x8. I`ve upgraded from froyo v0.20 ----> v0.25 by advance restore/restore system only,but failed to wipe full after restore. Also shouldn`t do advance restore,I`ve been told by someone already...as v0.25 isn`t sense only the name. So followed first recharge which was after a flat battery,started music app and after screen no responded. Reboot,reflash,Seus stock Eclair...you name it nothing made it back to work permanently.Sometimes for a while it was ok,started to open the champaigne(:rolleyes:) but happines wasnt long as it went back to useless...no screen response. Somebody tell me this is not HW issue...

Test afew days with stock rom.if u got problem while testing it,i think your hardware at fault.

Here some note :

Some charger might cause problem with the touchscreen.i have tried chagring with nokia micro usb charger.it's have 1200ma current.my touchscreen become unresponsive.I pull out the charger then lock and unlock the screen.my touchscreen back to normal again

Nerver charge with high current

My original charger have 850ma current.
[XPERIA X8 General] Felipe MacLeod:
I always used the original charger and yet the problem just kept coming back. I sent the handset to repair service and it came back working 100%. It had to be a hardware problem and I think they replaced the whole screen because it came with a new plastic skin with the blue tag just like how it looked when unboxed.

I thing sending it to repair is your best choice.

Best of luck!
[XPERIA X8 General] Felipe MacLeod:
Oh, and guess what. After my unit was working just perfectly, I accidentally dropped it again. And, damn no, the camera got screwed again!!!
