Hi guys, just a couple of questions about SD Cards.

First off, I've been having issues with mine lately. It's a 16GB Sandisk and I recently found out it was only class 2. When I first bought it, it worked well, never had any problems. But after a few months of installing apps onto it, loading/deleting/reloading large (8 or 9GB) volumes of music it started giving me problems. Now and again I get a Damaged SD card message in CM7 and sometimes while listening to music it will just stop playing and say the card has been ejected. I thought it was the ROM (Wildpuzzle at the time) so I changed, but it didn't help.

Could it be that the card is damaged, or that the data transfer rates have dropped with age to a point where it won't work?

Also, what class would you recommend I buy. Class 10 would be nice but for a 16GB card I might as well buy an mp3 player.

Thanks in advance
[Wildfire Accessories] 3xeno:
Try formatting the card and reusing it before writing it off. It may just work.

As for a new card, Class 4 is good and should fit all needs adequately.10 is definitely overkill.
[Wildfire Accessories] Michealtbh:
I had a similar problem recently with a cheap unbranded class 6 4gb card. I was getting random errors and occasionally couldn't transfer data to or from it. It eventually completely died. Worst about it was I was using Darktremor's a2sd. I lost everything and had to start again from scratch. I didn't even have a nandroid backup outside of my SD card. Lesson well and truely learned. Make sure you have a backup of everything you need
[Wildfire Accessories] GigiAUT:
Yeah I backed mine up, formatted it but I still get the problems. When they first started I was using DT's Apps2ext, that maybe did some of the damage with formatting and stuff, plus the large volumes of files I kept transferring.

I'm trying to work out if I want another card or if I should just save up and wait for that Samsung Galaxy S Wifi PMP. Need to see the price first. Or a tablet, but I think the Galaxy is all I can afford for now.

Hi. I am looking for serial terminal app and maybe device for the grab. I got lost in the search engine here and did not see anything related. I was hopping to use the tab to connect to serial consoles in the field.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] onezero1010101:
How are you looking to make the physical connection to the serial device? USB Serial port? Or bluetooth? If its bluetooth, I just stumbled upon a app, BlueTerm in the market on my Droid. Looks like it will connect to a bluetooth serial device, which you connect to your device. Search google for Bluetooth serial, there's an IOGear on Amazon, or a Firefly on tops of list.

I'm going to be getting a gTab soon as can afford it, but have been looking for a way to connect my Droid to serial devices for ages. I already run connectbot, for ssh / telnet, but had not found a way to connect to serial. Look forward to hearing back if you get this working.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] GODZILLA 1:
Thanks for you reply. i was hoping to use the usb serial adapter I have for my laptop. The blueterm you reference looks good. I should be ordering one in a few days.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] onezero1010101:
I just got my gtab, so will be playing with the usb serials as well. Let me know if you come up with anything to get a usb serial to work on it. As well as how the blueterm / bluetooth serial works out for you. May get one myself!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] miatawnt2b:
any news on this? I would love to be able to use something like minicom via a usb/serial adapter.

Bluetooth Serial Adapter issues

I just got the IOGear Wireless Bluetooth Serial Adapter, paired it with my PowerBookPro connected a Blue Cisco serial cable (DB9 to RJ45) and was able to run a terminal session on a Sun box. I thought I was on a roll then.

So then I tried the same with my gtab (Android version 3.0.1 Kernel 2.6.32.43-cyanogenmod) and could not get it to connect to BlueTerm via the program prompts to pair nor the OS Settings to pair the device.

To my further frustration my HTC EVO won't pair and connect with the device. The bluetooth adapter is set for Slave and I've even disabled the password feature.

Any ideas out there?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] russj85:
Blueterm serial adapter

I have an evo that is running stock rom but is able to pair, connect in blueterm, and communicate just fine.

Settings:

Master, not slave

Dce not Dct if yours has a switch.

Good Luck

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asz18:
If you were nice and readed the TON of posts with this question, you'd probably knew the answer already.

Wildfire Froyo is not rootable yet, at least not with any software.

The only way at the moment is XTC Clip which costs $150+ and may not be available in your country.

Just be patient and wait for the Unrevoked team. They will release it when the time comes.

Hope you have the answer now.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbush3:
AFAIK the only working method at this point is using the Android SDK to take a screenshot from your computer. Just download and install the Android SDK (google it), hook up your phone via USB, launch C:/Program Files/Android/android-sdk/tools/ddms.bat (may be slightly off, going from memory) from the command prompt, and the program that opens will allow you to take a screen shot.

I think most people are looking for the same functionality as the iPhone has. My fiancée could not live without this function on her iPhone and it's got to be a little disheartening for some people coming from iOS to find out that Android does not have a built in feature like this.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbush3:
I agree - it seems to be a result of the distinct resolution of the atrix screen. I imagine that an app will be available soon.
[EVO 4G General] tubazeppelin:
So I was running Salvage and now I'm running cm7 nightly 18 and I'm wondering: what's up with my benchmarking being so low? Can't seem to break 41 on Linpack and my quadrant scores are sticking in the low-1000s (they were up around 1300 on a fresh install).

I've seen other people who have had this complaint, and I know benchmarks aren't that important since my phone is running really well, but I want to see some seriously awesome results and I'm wondering if it has something to do with my kernel (savaged-zen), too many widgets on my hoam screen, playing too much ninjump, etc.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Highest I broke was about 45 running a toast/net kernel on a sense rom with about 1600 on quads. I break about 41 on cm7 with savagezen. Its really hard to takes scores on the evo serious though they don't mean ish. I also had to delete linpack and quadrant from my phone cause I kept worrying/stressing about scores etc lol. Now I don't download them at all and my life has been great ever since.
[EVO 4G General] tubazeppelin:
Yeah I'm thinking it might start coming to that. I just don't want to be sacrificing performance thanks to having things set up wrong. I'm coming from a Hero where your paltry 4.5 mflops were a true sign that you had your phone organized correctly, and it was going to randomly restart in 8 minutes because you had JIT running.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
+1 I came from the hero also with 4.5 running darchdroid/cm6 lol. It wasn't going to get any better than 4.5 ahh I remember those days man. With the evo I don't recommend taking stock in scores because its just not gonna get any better. My chicks g2 out the box stock(800mhz) is 1550 on quads and like 60 on linpack lol of course w/ help of their newer processors. Our evos are kind of maxed out I guess you could say. Jit doesn't help much its only keeping our apps warm and ready not really effecting scores much. I'd say what were getting now is about the best man. I still love my evo and hopefully it will last until my upgrade this September when newer phones are out.
[EVO 4G General] tubazeppelin:
Man I was planning on upgrading in May but I got bit by the Sprint Premium downgrade, and all the sudden my upgrade turned into "use it or lose it" by April 1. I'd much rather be stuck with the EVO for 2 years than the Hero for another year. That poor little phone just doesn't cut it anymore. Right now I'm trying to figure out how I can get a full upgrade next year, or perhaps just get a new phone for Christmas, which is about the time I'll be sick of the EVO.

Still, for now I'm loving this thing. It's like going from an '88 Accord to a 2010 Cadillac.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shotgun32:
Hey im gonna flashing a new rom soon, from megatron rom to nessy rom. As we all know we need to wipe our date before flashing a new rom.

So, how can i backup my Restaurant Story app then restore it back after i flash my new rom (nessy)? Im afraid that after i wipe my data, all my apps and games will be gone right, i don't want when i reinstall the Restaurant Story from the market the game will be resetted to level 1. Currently im on level 13. I dont want to play again from the start.

So help? :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Ruwin:
Get Titanium from Market, update you busybox from titanium bkp, go to backup/restore tab, press menu button and then batch. Run the batch opperation you need. Save the titanium bkp folder from your sd to pc, and you're done.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shotgun32:
then how to restore it back after my sd card completely wiped?

i just want to backup one apps only it is Restaurant Story
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
Does this really work, so just dragging the Titanium Bkp folder back in to the SD and restoring installs all the apps again?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
@shotgun32 & @Vivasanti

Yes. Put the TitaniumBackup folder back on the SD card after partitioning, wiping, formatting or whatever. Install Titanium Backup again from the Market on your fresh installed ROM and then restore. If your backup included system data, you will also have the SMS and contacts restored, plus most of the system settings. Also, you can restore only the needed apps.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] j_tangs:
Guys need help here, ive successfuly installed my 1st custom rom and restored my apps from titanium backup but my restored apps are not shown in market->myapps,

I need my restored apps to be linked back in the market so that I can still receive notification when an app has a new update. tnx

Having an issue with flash builder burrito...trying to publish app to android market and it is indicating 1 native platform restriction....armeabi-v7a. The app runs fine on my HTC evolution, but the market wont let me buy my own app, saying it is incompatible with my phone! I think it has soemthing to do with the native platform restriction, but I don't know whats causing it. Any help is greatly appriciated!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debar1:
I have searched and can't find anything that works. Sometimes it will reboot normal, and sometimes it will reboot into safe mode.

I have pulled the battery and let it sit. I have reboot over and over I have shut it off and waited. I have gone into recovery and rebooted.

I am running superclean 2.8

I do not know if there is an actual problem with the phone, because for a while now it has acted as if I am randomly pushing the keys on the bottom of the screen. It pops up the menu, exits where I am, pulls up search or even pulls up the task screen as if I did a multi home press.

It does not do this all of the time, but sometimes it can be setting on the desk and it will start jumping menus.

Since it is intermitten I am not sure if flashing to stock and taking it to a tech would help.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I just realized I posted to the wrong section, will a mod please move this for me? Or will someone let me know if it is something I can do myself and how?

[Android Apps and Games] LudoGris:
I am wondering if anyone has or is able to develop a new lockscreen idea. One of the greatest things in Android is the drop down notification window. It has everything on there that you need to know. All the missed calls, texts, etc., that we all add to our lockscreens. Why can't the notification window be the lockscreen? Turn off the phone and the notification window drops, so when I turn it back on that is what I see - still clickable (with the option to turn off the clicks) and the way to unlock is to raise the notfication window back up.

Anyone?

[Android Apps and Games] solidkundi:
i see what you mean.... but i think it shouldn't be clickable unless you swipe on it (sort of like the contacts in the Galaxy S)..this prevents accidents...

i would love to make a mock up of this... cuz i think this is a neat idea... i'll try to do something when i get the chance...
[Android Apps and Games] LudoGris:
Thank you, I appreciate the effort! I agree that the click-able idea is something that could lead to issues, which I counter with making it optional. I really like the swipe idea though! Even better!

That's actually a pretty awesome idea I would like to see something like this also

As title, i restarted my phone and it just bootloop and i went into recovery and reflashed but still same. please advice.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibza:
Holding down power button and volume down simultaneously, during powering up.

Do not just turn off and turn on your phone because it will new HTC Sense, you will not enable the recovery mode.

Once you entered the recovery mode launch the tool, which we called update.zip.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
You get bootloops right after you reflash and reboot? Or did you restore any apks and got the bootloop afterwards?

Get into CWM, wipe everything (system/data/cache/dalvik cache) and reflash the rom. This will certainly help :cool: And you should also check if the md5 sum of the downloaded file matches with the one Mike has posted.

Are you errased a cache ? Else, wippe it, and reboot.. :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tndb:
Now two things that have made the battery last longer is first underclocking it to 800MHz and undervolt -100mV in CWM (this will only make a minor difference albeit noticeble)

And the grand thing that will really up your battery is the app called "TASKER".

Ive only setup two rules and that is to turn off mobile data and wifi when screen is off and turn them back on when screen is on. You can customize it further if you like but im just gonna show how to setup the basics.

After you have downloaded it, fire it up and press "new" and then just press "ok" select "event" and "display off", press "done"

Now press the "+" and "net" then "mobile data", make sure "Off" is selected and then press "Done".

Press "+" again and "net", "Wifi Net" check that it is saying "Disconnect" and press "Done" and press "Done" again to get back to the main menu of "Tasker"

Next rule so press "New" and "ok" again, then "event" and "Display" and select "Display On". Press "Done" and then press the "+" followed by "Net" and "Mobile Data", make sure the checkbox says "On" and press "Done" and you are set. Press home button to apply the settings and you should now have "Tasker" in the top row.

Now this fix will maybe not suit everyone but if you value battery time more than anything then its absolutely for you.

What will happen is that all data traffic will be completely turned off when the phones screen is off and the impact of this is

You wont recieve instant (push) gmail until you unlock your screen

Google talk will not let others see you online/busy when screen is off

If you are making calendar updates from google calendar online, the calendar updates wont appear until you unlock your screen

Probably other stuff that havent crossed my mind

[Galaxy S I9000 General] cink40:
If you use Tasker just for Wi-Fi and data turn - off when screen is off you better use (IMHO) SuperPower app. You also better untick auto retrieve option in MMS settings or you will not receive MMS anymore with this settings.

Thank you in advance

[Galaxy S I9000 General] diN0pt:
Same here. Using Super Power some months ago, but now I'm curious about Tasker.

Wonder if it's better thar Super Power. Anyone can confirm that?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theduckking:
I just took a small look at super power. I found nothing you can't do with (except the 2g/3g toggling but I did not try that) tasker. The difference is, that you have to set up your own tasks and functions and rules. you can also create widgets and use variables to alter the way your own task works. If you have some programming skills you will probably love it, otherwise it's lots of potential left unused. (like loops, if/else statements)

You can read up on it over at lifehacker.com
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chainfire:
I agree of course. Then again if you are a developer might as well completely roll your own ;)

Tasker is nice if you know how to use it. Doesn't do all the things SuperPower can do, but can do a lot of thing (though less on 2.3, I think ? Not sure).

Gotta decide what's your own cup of tea. Apps like SuperPower (and Juice Defender, and a number of others ones) try to make your life easier, while with apps like Tasker (and the right plugins, of course) you can make your own rules. It's often more difficult than it sounds, though! :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdcroswell:
My wife and I recently traveled to Chicago and on the bus ride there, she turned off her eris to conserve battery. When we arrived in Chicago, she turned her phone back on and it gets stuck on the screen with the droids on skateboards. We let it sit for an hour plus with no results. I have searched for resolutions on this site, but all I could find were issues with already rooted phones.

When I go into the system recovery, I get a message E: can't open /cache/recovery/command. I wiped cache partition and wipe data/factory reset and rebooted and it still gets stuck.

I also downloaded the latest OTA update and renamed it to update.zip and pasted it on the sd card and tried to apply sdcard:update.zip but I get a message E:signature verification failed.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem and get the phone to boot? Is there a way that I can root the phone even though it wont boot up? We went to a verizon store and that was pretty much a waste of time.

Thanks for the help.!!
