[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
I notice on the EVO 4G, the hardware version is 3 slcd, and on the Thunderbolt it is hardware version 2 amoled.

What gives? Thunderbolt IS the newer phone, is it not? And which version is better and does it even matter?

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
They are screen types.

[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
Tbolt does NOT have amoled.
[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
Is Hardware v.2 amoled or not? so what does it have and how to know?
[Thunderbolt General] suzook:
Its slcd.......
[Thunderbolt General] watt9493:
Hardware v.2 is slcd. Amoled's/Superamo's are only on samsungs anymore, IIRC.

[Thunderbolt General] Smoothcrm7:
HTC used to use AMOLED but because they are so hard to get they have switched pretty much all of their currently released phones to SLCD with upcoming phones generally having qHD screens. The incredible hardware revision 002 was AMOLED and 003 was SLCD, I think that is what your thinking of.

But yes thunderbolt is SLCD =D
[Thunderbolt General] jasonbiggs:
ahhhh. thanks. so if evo 4g and thunderbolt both are slcd, what is the difference in hardware versions 0002 (thunderbolt) and 0003 (evo)?
[Thunderbolt General] rajuabju:
In my opinion comparing devices at the store and friends phones, SLCD > AMOLED every time
[Thunderbolt General] Vaporsilver:
Yeah I would take this SLCD over AMOLED any day.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rotodaddy:
I'm in the process of deciding whether I get the Inspire or wait for the Infuse. I'm new to smart phones, but been reading a ton.

My question; is the 4 GB on the Inspire sufficient for the numerous apps I am likely to put on it? I think I've read about apps that let you place apps on the mSD. Is this even a concern I need to worry about?

Thanks for the help. Searched the forum and didn't see this addressed. Probably means it's a dumb question. I'm trying to get smart :-)

Unless your going to have a couple hundred apps you shouldnt really worry to much.

I've downloaded plenty of apps and never even gotten close to using up the internal memory. I move what I can to the SD card, usually (it's not hard to do, and it's a feature built into the phone now).
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
Ditto, you'd have to work pretty hard to fill up that space, most programs are pretty small. But remember that many applications now support the A2SD function, so in the unlikely event that you start running out of room, moving them to your SD card is an option. I notice very little performance difference between apps on the card and apps run internally.

Hi all,

I am posting this thread because i do not have access to the forum

Optimus One, P500 Android Development. Recently i installed VOID Rom. And HATS OFF to the creator. The device is snappier,battery life has increased. But one problem is i could not uninstall applications like Google reader, Car Home ETC. I tried with rooted uninstaller like Titanium Backup. The application is uninstalled but comes back again. !!

[EVO 4G General] XsMagical:
I'm not to fond of this billing to Sprint thing, I feel safer using Google Check out because at least i know i wont have to deal with sprint if i need a refund or something goes wrong. But its still a good idea for people that don't have Google checkout or a electronic payment method

Yes that is very true, its good to have alternative payment methods
[EVO 4G General] TomWaddle:

personally i would rather purchase apps using this method
[EVO 4G General] UCChemE05:
At first I thought this was a really good idea. After thinking about it more, if your phone is hacked, having to deal with charges through Google checkout offers a layer of separation from my phone bill.

I was gonna open a thread on it but saw this one.

Another tips is that since we are going to see updates more often, please don't update it as soon as you see "new update" available. Wait for it, give it sometime. As we've already seen a thread where user bricked their transformer because of an update...

If its working, don't fix it. :cool:

[XPERIA X10 General] haghdk:
I am creating a thread because I don't know how I else can show my gratitude.

But I just want to thank all the developers that give us these ROMs. Its amazing how much work and effort you put into development just for us! A simple thank you is no way near enough.

I don't understand why some people (fortunately, just a few) complains over bugs, WLODs etc. - considered the many hours being put into it and given it away, we should be thankful even if the phone can't be turned on. ;)

At the moment I am running Wolfbreak's ROM v. 054 without any issues at all! The battery lifetime is just mad!! 88% after +10 hours. For me, that's way better than SE 2.1 stock!

Again - Thank you
[XPERIA X10 General] r-ikfoot:
Yes very good job! Congratulation to jerapela wolfbreak zdzihu and all other who give us a perfect xperia x10!
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
Just an idea: by throwing some bucks their way! ;)

I totally understand that times are hard and there are not plenty of money

to spare, but I bet each one of us can provide a dollar or two.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Awesome.. i'm sure the dev's appreciate it.

Yes XDA has given many new wings.. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] haghdk:
In my case - with Wolfbreaks amazing work, I've saved many 100$ (2000-3000-4000 Danish Kroners) by extending the life og my X10, instead of buying a new phone - so throwing a couple of dollars his way, is the least I can do, so I will definitely do that. :)

I believe that might be the case for many of those using ROMs by zdzihu, trip, jerpelea etc.
[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
XDA provides the 'thanks' button feature for this. I'm sure no developers are gong to read these threads as a new one gets started daily. All this really does is clutter the forums with threads that help nobody. I know the XDA app doesn't have the thanks button (it should!) but if you want to thank them bad enough to start a thread how about opening the browser and thanking them officially instead, that way its actually reflected in their profiles here.
[XPERIA X10 General] haghdk:
Of course I could "just" use the "thanks" button - but I felt that starting a thread and writing a few words of my gratitude was the right thing for me - regardless of the devs reading it! :)

I don't believe that starting a thread and say thank you is a wrong thing to do ;)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamnotafanofgravel:
My fascinate will not turn on unless its plugged in. Once it turns on it runs fine. If you hold the power button to turn it on it will show the battery icon, but will not turn on. If you plug it in it will turn on and work fine. It also thinks its in usb debugging all the time. not plugged into anything and it thinks its debugging.

Very strange.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
Some times the USB port gets gunk in it, try taking a piece of paper fold it a few times make sure the width is like half the size of the usb micro jack and slide it in to the usb port. fold it so it is snug but not tight move back and forth, do both top and bottom of the port but be careful on the thin side. basically your cleaning the contacts to remove and film.

Good Luck

If that still doesn't do the job chances are it's a hardware issue.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supervg3:
This is a very accurate description of the issue. I too am having the problem however it is on AT&T captivate. In my case, it only occurs when I am using a MIUI ROM. I have flashed multiple ROMS, both prior to and after discovering the problem and only have this issue when using MIUI ROM (Which is awesome in every other way). Two other things I would note. I have purchased another battery and it behaves identically, and MIUI drains batteries like a mother. Even swapping out a completely charged battery does not resolve the issue. Maybe someone brighter can explain how the phone "reads" the battery charge level while off.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumtrucker:
does anyone have this problem with 'stock' phone?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowquill:
I'm having the exact same issue with my Continuum. Thought maybe the USB port had issues, but it charges a battery just fine. It just won't acknowledge it's charged and turn on unless it's connected to a power source. Without a cable plugged in it just shows the big empty battery icon with a non-moving progress wheel on top of it for 3-4 seconds then screen goes black. With a cable plugged in it displays that, then changes to show the true charge of the battery at which time I can start up the phone. I restored my phone to factory defaults earlier today, but this problem persists.

Has anybody found any solution to this?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxidian:
I also have this problem. I have discovered, however, that while I must plug the phone into a USB cable, that USB cable need not be plugged into a power source or anything at all. I can reliably (100% of the time) power up with a USB cable just laying in my drawer. I can also reliably (100% of the time) not power up without plugging into a USB cable.

In other news, I have also discovered that certain low-level actions tends to screw up lots of things. I can Odin just fine. I can flash ROMs, kernels, etc. just fine. However, I cannot restore a nandroid. Whenever I restore a nandroid, as best as I can tell, my partitioning gets all jacked up. When this happens, I can't do anything but boot into recovery (although once this happens, I can no longer flash ROMs) or Odin. Doing a full Odin flash restores functionality (in the sense that we all see where we need a USB cable to boot up), though. So ultimately, I think these phones have defective memory and that's what is ultimately causing this.

I bought this phone a couple days ago for $100 so I'm not out much (and can probably get most of that back even acknowledging the issues). Sure would have been nice for that person to have told me there were these issues. But oh well. C'est la vie!

[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
This is my first post to XDA, and I really could use some help with this boot animation I've made. Here's the rundown:

THE ISSUE:

My boot animation will run the part0 portion of the file, but won't loop the part1 portion.

THINGS I KNOW:

- The file 99% works (phone boots, kernel screen shows, animation runs once, phone finishes booting)

- I've zipped the file properly (7zip, store only mode, just the desc.txt/part0/part1 at the top level)

- I'm on Firefly 2.8, Speedmod K13d, no OC/UV, JK4 modem, default Firefly theme

- I've named the files according to the same format as X's original bootanimation (0001.png, 0002.png, etc)

- The files were created in Photoshop, saved as 480x480 .png files

HOW I'M GETTING IT TO THE PHONE:

- Plug into computer (I have the correct USB drivers) and adb reboot recovery

- In recovery, I mount the /mnt/sdcard (I have the file saved on the internal sd)

- In adb, I use the following commands:

adb root

adb shell

rm -i /system/media/bootanimation.zip (say y to prompt)

cp /mnt/sdcard/boots/bootanimation.zip /system/media

exit

adb reboot

- The phone reboots normally and shows the first half of the animation, but doesn't loop the second half

THINGS I'VE TRIED:

- Searching XDA forums, reading everything I can get my hands on.

- Copied the contents of X's bootanimation desc.txt exactly and used it with mine (works, but still not looping)

- Copied to /data/local (no difference)

- Changed FPS in desc.txt to 15, 30, and 60 fps (no difference)

- Changed the part0 loop number to 1 and 0 (0 keeps it from working at all, 1 makes the first part work)

- Changed the part1 loop number to 1 and 0 (no changes)

- Changed the time in milliseconds on the part0 line to 0, 50, 100, 500 (only affects how long the android guy remains on the screen)

- Changed the original image file sizes from 480x800 to 480x480 (no difference)

- Banging my head against a wall.

THINGS I'M ABOUT TO TRY:

- Banging my head against a different wall.

I'm including these files below: bootanimation.zip (the version I'm currently pushing it to the phone), and an animated gif of what each part should look like. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated - I'm hoping this is just a case of me missing something that I should have caught.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
This is from your desc.txt:

480 480 60

p 1 500 part0

p 0 0 part1

This is from one that I have running on my phone:

480 800 30

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
Thanks for checking this - unfortunately, your settings are one that I've tried before with no luck.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
Checked a couple more things and I noticed a couple other differences.

In the part0 folder of the working one the files all start with boot_XXXXX.png with XXXXX being the number. The first number is 00000 where yours starts with 0001 and doesn't have boot_ before the number.

Just something to try.

Yours is on the right, the working one is on the left.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
I'll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks.

I renamed all the files to included the "boot_0XXXX.png", and updated my desc.txt file to:

480 480 60

p 1 0 part0

p 0 0 part1

UPDATE:

I zipped it, pushed it to the phone (in both /system/media and /data/local), and rebooted. No success.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
If someone is feeling generous, could I get someone to please try the boot animation on their phone to see if it's just my phone that's acting up?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] goodolsen:
Just tried it and it seemed to work fine. I see that all your .png files in part1 are exactly the same though. I get the android guy piecing together with Android underneath.

Is there something else that is supposed to happen?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
The part0 is what you saw, the part1 is supposed to be the Android guy, with logo, standing there with his eyes doing a chase in lighting up (left eye lights up, right eye lights up, left eye goes dim, right eye goes dim, repeat). Take a look at the second .gif in the original post for what it should do.

The idea was that it would have the guy being built, android logo shows up, and then they eyes flash in a loop until the phone finishes booting. Right now, he assembles himself and then just stands there looking pretty, but doing nothing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Here you go....

Just tested on my phone. Works perfect.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jmtheiss:
Thank you so much - You fixed it. I pushed this first to /system/media, and nothing, but when I put it in /data/local, it worked correctly.

Just for my own edification, what did you change to make it work?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] sneakysolidbake:
I was having the same problems as you on my Fascinate. I made a new desc.txt in notepad++ (free program, google it) with the proper parameters and mine magically started working right.
