[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I am trialling Opera Mobile and Opera Mini on my phone, and I'm getting slightly irritated that now and again, whilst browsing and hitting certain links, I am being asked which browser to use as default for that type of action.

What I really want is when I'm using the stock browser, the phone will just stay in that browser and not suggest the others. And vice versa. And I don't want to set a defaut browser for anything.

Dunno if I've made myself clear?!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If functioning properly, it should only ask you which browser once for each particular condition. Just be sure you check the box to set your selection as default before making the selection. But every time you install a new browser, it will start the process over again. As long as you don't change anything, you should see that dialog box only a few times, and probably never again.

I have Opera, Dolphin, and the stock browser coexisting on my phone just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ra990:
I had this issue as well. What you do is when it prompts which browser to use from your stock browser, select the stock browser. When the prompt originates from your alternate browser, select the alternate browser.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Ok thanks guys, I will do as you've suggested.

I've avoided checking the "default" box so far as I wasn't really sure what I was agreeing to, ie was it:

1. Default this type of link to always open in Opera

2. Default this type of link to always open in Opera when browsing in Opera

What you have said makes sense now.

Doubled my read speeds. Went from @15 to 30+. Gallery seems snappier. Media Scanning finishes up quicker.

However - Write speeds seem wonky, they vary from 2 to 6 depending on how the phone feels I guess. I don't think the patch is a monumental change, and it makes me wonder why the cache size wasn't increased to begin with since it obviously effects read speeds. Maybe Samsung knows more than us.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Will this not shorten the lifespan of the SD card? There has to be a downside somewhere...
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
I tried it and it works great. Just make sure after you flash it you check the permissions to make sure it is correct.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
It just changes the read-ahead cache on the phone so your phone reads larger chunks of the sd card in one burst. So instead of doing 5 reads (for example) the phone can read 5x as much at one time and hold that data in the cache. That way it doesn't get stuck waiting on the sd card every time it runs through the data held in the cache.

No big downside for this one.

[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
I am having some serious issues with my evo. I have tried 10 different methods, googled 100 different help guides and still no fix.

I had originally rooted my phone using simple root and put the "fixed" froyo rom on there. Everything worked fine, but I was outdated and having some really slow issues so I wanted to try a new rom...Fresh.

Well I tried a few methods, but I somehow reverted my evo back to a nonroot of the original OS. Whenever i go into hboot, my recovery does not work. I push the PC36img and load it, then restart then I attempt to go to my recovery where it gives me the error picture with the yellow/red triangle. I then select recovery (after pressing UP volume and powerbutton) and try to load update from sd card. Everytime I do that I get a Failed error.

I've tried to reroot using several methods off this website, I've done everything I can to get it working but can't. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
[EVO 4G General] Heaterz16:
Try reflashing your recovery image.
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
BTW I have hboot 79.0 with S-ON, so it looks like I def became unrooted.
[EVO 4G General] Heaterz16:
Not sure how it would have just unrooted itself. I would run an RUU from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884060

Then, I would re-root and start clean again.
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
I have a recovery-ra.img, how do I tell it to flash it?

I pulled up this list of recovery files, is there a particular one I should use?

htt p://goo-inside.me/amon_ra/supersonic/
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
Ok I downloaded the top item:

RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed

Ran the exe, surprisingly picked up my phone and started the image update. My phone restarted and it forced closed the app on my computer. Now I have a new HTC logo for about 5 min on my phone not doing anything. Should I wait it out or restart my phone?
[EVO 4G General] Heaterz16:
I would have waited about ten minutes then restarted the phone. If the phone is stuck at the HTC logo, then I would go ahead and re-run the RUU.

Let me know how it turns out.
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
ok, finally got it working. Had to restart the phone manually and try it on a different computer. It updated it to the newer version of android and hboot, thank goodness! That was the easiest and most productive thing I've been able to do so far, thanks!

Well now I try to boot into recovery and get the same error:

can't open /cache/recovery/command

Then I get :

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted

When i try to load update from sdcard
[EVO 4G General] Heaterz16:
Ok, so, I think you said you got the RUU working which would have completely restored the phone to unrooted and stock from factory.

Now, you need to re-root your phone using one of the methods on xda. I used the manual method here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045. However, many people have had success with the one-click methods.

After you re-root (which will likely included installing a recovery), select a rom you want to try, boot to recovery, wipe and flash it. A great starter ROM is MikFroyo 4.6 or 4.5.
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
Try downloading the PC36IMG.zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

put that on the root of your SD card, then boot into HBOOT and it should find that PC36IMG.zip after a few seconds and ask if you want to flash it. Choose yes and let it finish. Should then be able to reboot into recovery.
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
ok thanks, i'll try it when I get back home
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
Ok, I tried this method...the filesize of pc36img.zip is only 3.5mb, but it didn't seem to work. It scanned the file then just went back to the hboot screen with my options never asking to flash.

I'm going to try to reroot using the other method now...
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
So I clicked the link and he forwarded to the autoroot.bat page so I used his method. It worked well (the 2nd time around) all the way until it started to push amon_ra_1.8-mod.... then after that it says rebooting into the bootloader, and it reboots into it and just says waiting for phone...

It does appear that my phone is rooted now, but my recovery is still not working. If I use ROM manager will it work since my phone is rooted or do I need to have a rooted ROM to run it off of?
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Does your phone show s-off while in the bootloader? If so you should be able to run the FlashZip script and use that to flash the pc36img-sprintlovers zip. That one contains everything needed to bring your phone up to date and will leave you with a rooted rom and recovery.
[EVO 4G General] noweakness:
FINALLY! Thanks a million! My recovery is now working and it installed the built in sprinter lovers rom, I guess the anti-virus was stopping it so I disabled it and ran the flash script. I was able to install Fresh on there, just to try it out. I do have a few questions though:

1. I noticed after going through many pages that to update to a newer ROM version you don't always have to wipe clean, you can just install (or flash) the new update? I noticed in Fresh there is a built in app that does that. Is this true for most ROMS or only certain ones?

2. I assume I am using the RA recovery. I noticed the backup/restore feature on there. What exactly does that backup and when should I use it?

3. I've noticed I've been very low with memory on my phone (not SD card), I have about 258MB free. How can I clear space and when I mount my phone what files are important to keep and can I get rid of, is it okay to get rid of my rom.zip's and radio.zip's?

Thanks again to everyone, autoroot was def the most painless root ever.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
1) You'll want to always wipe your cache/dalvik (I do everytime I'm in the recovery) but the Data depends on the ROM. Usually if you are going from one sense rom to another you are ok and the same for AOSP to AOSP. Going from Sense to AOSP you'll need to wipe data though.

2) Autoroot comes with a modified version of AmonRA, they are mostly just speed tweaks. To make a complete backup of your ROM select Boot (kernel), System (ROM), Data (Apps & Settings) and .android (apps on SD card)

3) You can delete the zips from your sd card if you don't need them but that's about normal for free memory.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfautsch:
Just got a shiny new Fascinate, and about to start customizing it. I would like to remove most of the large collection of cr*pware that came pre-installed, bing included. Is it possible to install superuser and uninstall this stuff without risking bricking the device?

I'm a relative Android newb, and I'd rather not dabble in custom roms as this is an employer provided phone and I'm not comfortable blasting a new firmware on it yet.

Also, if I succeed in removing the aforementioned software, can / will it be restored by resetting the device to defaults, if that's even possible? Or will I need to root the thing in order to install backup software?

Lastly, if I want to use a keyboard other than swype or the default android, do I need to move the .apk to the /system/apps folder like I did on my Nook?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Yes, you can simply root your device and not install a custom ROM. Yes, you will have to root in order to de-bloat, so be aware, although it is very simple.

Rooting walkthrough: (very painless)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948722

Once rooted, download Titanium Backup from the Android market and de-bloat to your heart's content.

You might want to consider downloading ROM Manager (from market) and making a full backup of your rooted phone (called a Nandroid backup)

Keyboard: you can search the market for alternate keyboards (easiest method) or use adb push to /system/app if there is one you really want to use.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfautsch:
Cool, thanks for the response!

I'd already rooted, which would have been completely painless if I were running winblows. Nevertheless, after getting adb functional on Ubuntu it was relatively simple.

I've removed all the 'stuff' I don't want, any idea how to reassign the search button so it isn't pointing to bing also?

With Titanium and ROM Manager, would I need CWR or some other alternative boot app installed to restore this?

Also, I see lots of references to odin which is apparently needed for flashing over USB in the event I decide to take the plunge and dabble in custom roms. Anyone know if there's an equivalent for linux / osx? It astounds me that an android dev community such as this seems to be so windows centric...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elupus:
for linux and mac use Heimdall, an odin clone.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
If you're still running EB01, then Bing search is hard coded. However, many custom ROMS remove this. I'm currently using SuperClean 2.9 and have both google search and google voice search (long press search button) set as my default.

A definitive list of Fascinate ROMS can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1013312

To restore, I would definitely use CWR, as it is the recovery method used by ROM Manager. This is done either within ROM Manager (Backup/Restore) or by booting directly into CWM. Just make sure ,with a Fascinate, you only use CWR version 2.5.x.x, since version 3.0 doesn't currently play nice with the older amend type scripting.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfautsch:
It downloaded EA28 right after activation - I believe it said this is a corporate contract build, which is part of why I'm reluctant to burn a custom rom.

Outside of the bing search and the speakerphone being too loud, I really have no qualms with the phone at this early stage.

Thanks for the info about CWR and such - I've been lurking here for months and find the more I read the more confused I get.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Best not to go tinkering with corporate property- no sense in losing your job over a phone.

The speakerphone volume should be adjustable via the volume rocker on the side while activated.

Yes, there is a lot of knowledge available here, lol. Just remember, everybody here started somewhere.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfautsch:
Funny nick btw...

I'm not worried about that - they wouldn't fire me over a phone, I'm the guy that keeps their accounting system up at five nines. I just don't want to have to schmooze the office manager to get me a replacement if I brick it after less than a week. I'll let the new wear off a little first. :)

Yeah, but at it's lowest setting it's still loud enough to be heard 30 ft away. Not a huge issue.

Ok, last question and I'll start spending a little more time searching, I promise. What's the deal with wifi on these things? Can / will they go through the wifi to get to the cloud? It doesn't appear that mine is doing this when I'm at home where 3g is very hit-and-miss. Are there any settings to tweak? Or is wifi just there for the DLNA server and tethering? I guess i was a bit spoiled by my blackberry in that this functionality (wifi handover) worked very well on the curve.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
I haven't noticed any issues with wifi and cloud applications (dropbox, evernote, etc)

If you just mean internet connectivity in general sucks on wifi, perhaps it is more a router/ISP issue and less of the phone. Might do you some good to download a wifi analyzer to your phone (market) and make sure your dB strength is adequate, as well as make sure your router is broadcasting on the least congested channel. Have you tried connecting on a different wifi network? (work, restaurant)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spfautsch:
Already have my AP set to the channel with the best noise floor. So I don't think it's an RF issue - all my other wifi devices (two laptops, two Nook tablets, and formerly my blackberry 8320) all work as well as could be expected with the same AP configuration.

I guess what I'm wanting to know is if there's a way to setup the IP/PPP stack on the phone to default to wifi for data. I guess I need to delve into the innards of their network config to find this out. Just thought there might be a GUI config menu somewhere that I was missing.

Brick a Fascinate? Don't think its Possible, I have done just about every stupid thing you can think of to mine, including flashing Darky's 9.3 rom for the I9000 on it by accident. As long as I can get it into DL mode, odin or heimdall can fix my stupidity.

[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Since my last thread i posted i felt i did a ****ty jobs of providing a guide.

I wrote this in the morning just after coffee, so try and enjoy the spelling and grammar. :p

Getting the best out of your X10

Considering you have rooted and loaded yourself a great rom...

like CM6.13 >Over yar<

There are many quality roms out there already,

But certain rules exist to notch up battery life and speed.

1.Always check what apps you are installing,

apps with ads can be a pain as they eat away at your bandwidth and battery.

Don't use apps that run passively and use the internet often.

Search "Adfree" in the market, 100% free and Epic.

This should be able to dodge most droid app ad's.

2.Disable your internet when not used.

Use the APN control widget 'works the best'

Save alot of juice here.

If it must passively update.. set your update itervals high

like every 10 to 60 minutes.

3.Don't use task killers that Kill All Apps...

Get a app like 'SystemPanel' by 'NextApp, Inc.'

Tested on all versions of android it works like a beast.

-important tip!

It allows you to exclude apps for the kill all widget 'awesome'

Since using task killers to Kill All is bad for the device

as many apps require to re-cache alot of data.

To exclude a app select it and hit 'exclude'

It also accurately detects 'system dependant apps'

I usually add all the common stuff like often used apps, widgets, ect..

Some live wallpapers and widgets use second processes, add these...

Messaging

Gallery

Music player

Web browser

Apps you know you use often and are safe and stable!!..

-Disable the monitoring system!

In the settings Un-tick 'Monitoring enabled'

Only useful if you’re having issue's with your phone anyway.

This uses a bit of juice so i disable it, unless I’m testing a new rom.

Add the kill all widget to somewhere you feel comfy. "will use exclude list"

Only exclude apps 'you or the system' will use often

It's very friendly and easy to use.

Go get it now.

4.Using the SD speed boost hack. >Click Yar<

Most people say that it only speeds up the read rate..

I have tested it in detail and even with my

"standard came with the phone 8GB sd"

there is a massive increase on both fronts.

-Before SD boost

Write: 1.6MB/s

Read:11.2MB/s

-After SD boost

Write: 7.5MB/s

Read:51.2MB/s

You can easily achieve much higher scores.

Using a setting of 2048 seems to be providing a nice beefy buffer for the sd.

This reminds me of a program that was made for netbooks with weak sdd drives.

Truly a must have for those browse media alot.

I also noticed games loading extremely fast, quake2droid loaded lvl1 in 2.12 Seconds.

The 3D Galery is faster than sonic the hedgehog on speed.

Mp3's and vids loading instantly.

Faster reaction rates in Launcher Pro.

There is a tiny increase in cpu usage and there by it uses the battery slightly more

But the end product is worth the minuscule increase.. it tiny... really.
