[Xperia Play General] Meister_Li:
Samsung and HTC 'cheat' quite a bit when it comes to startup times. If you compare the time the Nexus One take with that of the Desire, the Desire is much faster, despite the hardware being the same. The same holds true with the Galaxy S and Nexus S.

From my experience with the Nexus S, I'd say the Play is VERY close to Stock Android 2.3.2. Sony Ericsson just added a few apps here and there and skinned the UI a little, but it feels, works and behaves a lot like the 2.3.2 on the Nexus S. Sooo... I'd say the long boot time is normal, and probably for the best for the device.
[Xperia Play General] johnsongrantr:
boot times are about 3 min as well.... however I find this to be a non-issue to me.

how often are you rebooting your phone though? Mine might go for weeks without being restarted... pending battery doesn't die on me of course
[Xperia Play General] neptune:
Would like to know what was on the memory card originally as well as I formatted money when I got it...
[Xperia Play General] Tornlogic:
Just to ease your mind both my Motorola phones the X and OG were a couple min to boot up.
[Xperia Play General] dan-htc-touch:
I noticed the boot times too, expecially since I don't really charge it much, I run it out and swap batteries as I have an excellent spare battery and charger also know as an x10 :) alway 3 minutes or so though, probably part due to drm checks, and part due to the storage almost full and it having to go through all the apps and initialize them.
[Xperia Play General] Aightu:
To be honoust i have the phone for a few weeks now and only turned it off and then on for a few times. Boot time doesnt actually bother me.
[Droid X General] luciphet:
I've been following the Droid X XDA since I got my mine back in November and have been wanting to contribute for a while. Since I have not found this thread anywhere else, I thought I would share. This is the list of apps that I have frozen and have not noticed and adverse affects (I'm currently running Rubix blurrybread).

Alarm & Timer (I use AOSP clock app)

Android Live wallpapers (If you use these, don't freeze this, obviously)

Camera (I use the leaked GB camera found on Droid life)

CarDock (Who uses the uncustomizable Blur one anyway)

com.motorola.photowidget

Date & Time (this is only a Moto widget)

Desk Home (I use AOSP cause it bothers me that I can't see the next alarm on Blur version)

Email

Email Authenticator

Email Engine (This is needed for stock text messaging. I use AOSP here, but if you're on stock then don't freeze. Text messaging will not open)

Facebook Authenticator

Flickr Authenticator

FMRadioService

Gallery (I use the 3D AOSP gallery)

LastFM Authenticator

LinkedIn Authenticator

Live Wallpaper Picker (Don't freeze if you use live wallpaper)

News

News & Weather

Orkut Authenticator

Photobucket Authenticator

Picasa Authenticator

Quick Contact (This is a Moto Widget)

Skyrock Authenticator

Social Messaging

Social Networking

Social Sharing

Social Status

Sticky Note (This is a Moto widget. Once again, I don't use)

Swype (Not a fan)

Text Messaging (I use Mms.apk from Rubix Focused. Works great)

Toggle Widgets (Seems redundant if you use the android power widget)

Twitter Authenticator

Universal Inbox

Voicemail (Google Voice anyone)

Weather

Work Contacts

Yahoo contacts (don't freeze if you use the stock Text Messenger. For some reason it's tied in)

YouTube Authenticator

There may be more. If I missed any then please post. I'm always looking to get rid of more crap I dont' want/use/need.

The latest jt kernels and people's derivatives of them have not been playing well with SetCPU on my phone. It has been freezing up. Any advice on a certain version I should use or maybe settings issue?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonu42:
Check to make sure profiles is not enabled. Using them will make your phone freeze and or not come back awake.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkirby11:
Also make sure your on conservative and not ondemand. I hear the ondemand is still being a little buggy.

Currently I'm running jt's oc kernel at 1.3ghz stable. Setcpu is on conservative and I have zero problems, only when I change to another setting does it have problems.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AuroEdge:
At this time what could I use setcpu for besides overclocking?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitsuj17:
theres no point in using setcpu with jts kernels as theyre not overclocked...unless u need to UNDERclock for some reason
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisDDD:
I'm using setcpu to underclock my phone (for bettery battery life), and I set up a few profiles to drop the speed down when the screen is off (100 min, 200 max), and when the battery is below a certain amount (100 min, 400 max), and it seems to be running fine. No freezes, no problem waking up.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrwnSuperman:
JT doesn't have an OC kernel out. If you're using nemesis's OTB OC kernel then you shouldn't be using SetCPU, you should be using Voltage Control from market. SetCPU has caused some issues. This will give you orange CWM but you can always Odin the red one.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlvisaria:
Hi all,

I have an Epic 4G for Sprint, never unlocked, stock ROM Android 2.2.1 EC05.

I recently bought and inserted a 32 gb microSDcard from Amazon (search "Patriot Signature 32 GB Class 10 MicroSDHC Flash Memory Card PSF32GMCSDHC10", can't insert hyperlinks yet).

I once made the mistake of NOT unmounting the card when disconnecting from my Windows 7 64-bit desktop. The phone told me the card was damaged and had to be formatted. I did this and everything seemed back to normal, although my card was wiped clean.

Since then the phone has randomly shown me with the same message twice, even when it has not been plugged into a PC or a wall charger for hours. Wiping the card clean has been my only option both times.

Ever since the failed Froyo update and the patch, my phone has had multiple annoyances, sudden freezes of the notification pulldown etc. I can't exactly pinpoint when the MicroSD failure happens or if something causes it. otherwise the card is fast and read/write speeds are excellent - 30.91 gb available. Both times the phone was at low battery, but not zero battery.

I do have Advanced Task Killer (start when Android starts) and a free app to move apps 2 SD. Both were downloaded from the Market.

Please help! Not having reliable memory means I can't do much with my phone at all. If its a bad card, then oh no! But if there are ways to troubleshoot or just discard this card and get another one.:mad:
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
When you format the card, are you doing it from within the phone or Windows?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlvisaria:
Always from my phone. It won't let me do anything else unless I format it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Try taking it out of the phone, then formatting it directly from the computer, FAT32 format.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlvisaria:
Put it in an SD card adapter, formatted to FAT 32 in Windows. That took half an hour. Everything is good so far. Any other precautions I can take ? Thanks again.

Alternately, is there a SD card and/or phone contacts backup utility you guys recommend.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
If your contacts are saved to your google account it should automatically sync them.

Alternatively, you could save them to your SD card and then copy the entire contents of your SD card to your computers HD.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dito33:
There is a bunch of generic micro sd 32gb cards that do not function properly even they are not truly 32gb as they say, I had one of those and nothing but problems I think it was like around actual 4gb but they made to appear like 32gb.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
Fyi: loose advance task killer. There is no need for it on newer android devices and causes more problems
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maghig:
I'd disagree. Don't run it in the background or use the autokill functions, but it does let you kill more apps than the built in task manager. That's useful for when some apps freeze or get started in the background but aren't showing in task manager.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidApprentice:
I'm surprised there aren't many more advocates of Watchdog on here. It's a very efficient monitor of app activity, much smarter, and gives you much better options to decide whether you really need to kill an app process or not (rarely should you need to). The widget on my home screen has become essential for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysteryEmotionz:
I use watchdog and os monitor. Between those to I have a much better experience work my phone.

Hi,

When I do speed test in my phone I get around 3 mb/s for download speed but when I connect to my laptop via Barnacle and do speed test on my laptop, I get half of that. Around 1.4 mb/s. Any ideas why?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] ytwytw:
I have no Problem, and I use wifi hotspot function to share
[Atrix 4G General] foreverinpanama:
To be honest might just be that some of that bandwidth is being used for tcpip between your cellphone and laptop. You figure that will take away some of your bandwidth. As to how much I haven't checked. When I got time i can do the exact same thing you are doing and try and estimate a reasonable bandwidth drop between phones speedtest readings and laptops using wifi tethering.
[Atrix 4G General] Simba501:
I generally get very similar speeds between the two (device and laptop connected to it). Not sure why they'd be different. Is it something that happens consistently, over time?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Try WiFi Tether also. I use both this and Barnacle because depending on location, I get better speeds with one or the other.

Yes, yes you can. FTFY.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
This.

Although, I'm not certain that we can discuss the specifics.

Suffice it to say that it would involve obtaining a donor device, altering MEID numbers and doing some 'programming' w/ a tool such as CDMA workshop (paid version) to get data working. Beyond these 'cliff notes'.. I'm not at liberty to discuss this.. (I had a samsung moment on Boost CDMA for a while and also put an HTC hero on Boost CDMA for my wife ;) ... neither device was allowed or possible to activate w/ conventional methods LOL)

But when I download a movie from mediamp4.com I get download speeds of 125kbps to 165kbps. So why is my fone saying that its fast when its not?

Well a speed test won't always be too accurate. Speed is dependent on traffic and the server being used so the speed seen on a speed test is ideal conditions

Hey everyone. i was wondering if you could help me with an annoying error i cannot fix.

so i have my theme (based off Templatebread -- its my first theme) that i compiled using apktool and signed using Stericson's autosign.bat. Both were without errors.

I move to SD card via USB Storage mode and install using ASTRO. That goes fine. I open it up in Theme Chooser and get "This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied. Please report this incident to the theme author" when i click apply. the preview shows up fine.

I did a quick google search but all i got was that i might have put preview.png into drawable-hdpi insted of drawable. i checked it and moved it. didnt fix it.

Ive attached my source(yes, decompiled-modded is what i called the file my source is located in.... ) in a 7-zip file. if anyone could explain how to fix this that would be great!

Thanks!
[Android Themes] david1171:
Remove the \ in your AndroidManifest.xml like so

<theme pluto:themeId="DeepRed" pluto:styleId="@style/DeepRed" pluto:name="@string/theme_name" pluto:preview="@drawable/preview" pluto:author="@string/author" pluto:styleName="@string/style_appearance_name" />

It installs fine afterwards and you get the preview image in the theme chooser, compiled and tested myself.

[Android Themes] zexcrazy:
This is device specific, for some devices it works for some don't. If you are compiling on windows best option is to compile without preview, to ensure that it works on every device. There is no other solution.

Or you can compile on linux, that it will work.
[Android Themes] arzbhatia:
If MDPI device - Put preview and icon in Drawable-hdpi folder.

If HDPI device - Put preview and icon in Drawable folder.

Remember you need a 'smali' folder for everything to be working fine. Remember to remove the '\'

I am on linux too. I downloaded a theme that works on my phone and decompiled it, then recompiled it without changing anything, and resigned it and still it says it was improperly compiled. Any ideas?

Hope you guys can help with this.

I updated to the rooted Gingerbread leak. Didn't really like it so I made the retarded mistake of just flashing Liberty to my phone. Completely forgot that if I wanted to go back I had to SBF.

So I went to SBF back to Froyo. The SBF went through with no issue but now my phone won't boot. When booting normally or going to recovery I get this. I've tried two computers and can't get either to recognize my phone, but my phone does recognize that it's plugged in.

Now I understand that if you have bootloader 30.04 and try to go back to Froyo you'll basically get a brick. Is this true or is there some way to fix this that's been documented that I'm oblivious of? Thanks very much if you guys can help me.

The LG 2x has a very bad battery time, way worse than SGS.

But the browser is the best i ever tried on any mobile phone. If the sgs 2 comes close it will be very good to.

I am sure that the SGS II will surpass the Optimus 2X with overall UI speed and smoothness. Also the SGS II is using ext4 which will improve access times.
[Galaxy S II General] Toss3:
If you watch the video you'll see that the sgsii is a lot smoother than the lg. They even say that the sgs managed to beat it in some cases so the perfomance of the sgsii should be amazing. They even go as far as to say that the sgsii is the fastest browser they've ever used.

The Video shows both thee highlights and litres of the x2 & sgs2

For screen the galaxy has a clear win, but the red seem over saturated. Overall I prefer the gsg2

The gamrs seem better in the x2.

As a gamer that s important to me, as is the ps1 back catalouge for tegra..

Browsing seems smother on the sgs2.

Overall the sgs2 wins, but only just.

Is it worth the wait and the extra money....

And then there is the while exynos/tegra issue, if I got a samoled tegra I'd be ok, if I got a exynos samoled, that'd be cool too. If I got an lcd sgs2 that would be a deal breaker.

The whole lack of firm data about what will be released where is really getting on nerves, I'd be really annoyed waiting until mid june just to find we get the rubbish sgs2.

SamsungNeed to give some firm data before I give up on them.
