[Xperia Arc General] cech:
I can use the phone in the house too but the speeds are low. If it was the possibly loose antenna I wouldn't be able to fix it without voiding my warranty.

Speaking of warranty... Why doesn't SE say anything about this issue? Would they like me to return the phone to them?
[Xperia Arc General] mizmo.lu:
no problems here, speed and signal strength are better than on my HD2

19000kbps download

14000kbps upload

6ms ping

but old 54g router is limiting speed
[Xperia Arc General] cech:
I'm very happy for you mizmo.lu and impressed too, but I don't see how this information helps me solve this problem.

now trying to download a file from your pc/laptop via wifi and notice the superslow performance
[Xperia Arc General] mizmo.lu:
sry, read too fast through topic, thought was more like a general question.

b/g/n device on b/g router is no problem. you should test with different security encryption and on other networks so you can see if it is a problem with your device or router.
[Xperia Arc General] kipue:
Hi, just wondering because I do not have my Arc yet.

Does it happen if the phone is on a table (ie. no "death-gripping

' it, who knows if that s an issue)?

Do you have a cover? on my DHD, a simple gel or whatever case would butcher the GPS performances, for example. Have to take it out of it if I want it to work properly.
[Xperia Arc General] cech:
Well, I did some more testing today and this thing has me puzzled. First off in the morning I got blazing speeds (in excess of 6500kbps down) on my wifi but in consequent tests the speed was slow (about 50kbps down) again. I went to my neighbours house to try it on his wifi and it ran fast there (6700kbps down). So obviously the Arc wifi can run fast too.

I'm thinking it might have something to do with router configuration as suggested here earlier. My neighbour has b/g/n router and uses WEP encryption. I have b/g router and use WPA2-PSK. I might try to reconfigure and see if it helps.

@kipue - I have no cover on the phone and it runs slow whether the phone is in my hand or on the table.

I wonder what SE might have to say about this issue.
[Xperia Arc General] mizmo.lu:
WEP is unsafe, stay with WPA2 if possible. my results were also done on WPA2 secured network.

don't think Arc has death grip problems. tested a lot, signal strength weakens only when i cover the top chrome line (where power button is) with my finger
[Xperia Arc General] cech:
OK, I think I solved it, for now at least. I changed wifi encryption to WEP and in about 10 speed tests the download speeds ranged from 5000kbps to 9000kbps.

I'm not happy about switching from WPA2 to WEP either but what good is secure wifi if I can't use it? It's not like I'm keeping any secrets here and living in a little village I doubt there are many identity thieves prowling this dead end street.:-)
[Xperia Arc General] mizmo.lu:
Try wpa/wpa2 personal/enterprise with tkip/aes, maybe you find a combination witch works fine :)

So, I've been useing Gingerbread ROMS in their various fors for 4 months or so. I don't find it nearly as good as FroYo. The on-screen keyboard is annoying...no arrow keys. It's sluggish compared to cooked FroYo ROMs.

I don't know....but for me Gingerbread is not as good as FroYo.

What about you? Do you prefer Gingerbread? Why?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Theonew:
Well it can't be said in general that gingerbread or any other late firmware sucks. Its all about user preference and experience. Anyways my preference is gingerbread. I chose this because:

1. It's fast for me (I don't know why its not for you)

2. Some games and apps require a late/latest firmware to work.

3. I like to keep stuff up to date.

These opinions may be far different from yours or anyone else but they're mine.:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ASKnASK:
What ROMs have you been using?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] facuxt:
For my device an huawei u8150 ideos i just tested the cm7 rom with gingerbread and it goes slow.. maybe its because is an alpha version, unstable...

Im now using cm6 with 2.2.1 FroYo and it works pretty well..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilgenius31:
Forgive my Ignorance

cm6 has enough customization features that I can't see a reason to move to 7/gingerbread. What advantages did gingerbread HAVE other than themes? :confused:

Love CM7 on my N1 although there is a possibility i would be less enamoured of GB if i were using a stock version.
[Hero CDMA General] dpeeps74:
So, I'll admit I have some pet peeves around here. I hate when people assume, though I do it. I hate when people get asked the same question 5x and can't ever answer it simply, and I don't do that. I hate that there is anything 1 click or rom managing and feel that rooting has gone from something for people that want a better understanding and to get the most out of their phones, to something that all the cool kids are doing and then they can't read or comprehend what they did and then EXPECT someone to fix their screw up. I also get creating something and not receiving proper respects, and the fact that most code is copied. Hell, if it wasn't, we'd all still be on dos. Anyway, my point is this, it's even more annoying than all that to open threads that should hold some value just to see everyone comparing the size of their vaginas. So in keeping with valuable threads, everyone should start donating Xanax and tampax instead of PayPal and maybe we can get back to telling people to use search 50x a day or something?

And if some of you devs could start working some miracles, gingerbread and awesome themes and overclocking and fireratting and rooting are all great, but if you could part the seas and turn some water into wine all while reciting the Gettysburg address and standing on your head, then that would be something great to see on YouTube. Honestly though, thank you for making instructions better than IKEA. Stupid pictures with no words. How much expense could words really add after you've already paid for some child laborer to draw for you?

~maybe I set it too high...
[Hero CDMA General] motoelliot:
Ok, take a Xanax n calm down... LOL. seriously tho. I feel ya, one click root should be banned. Sum ppl just shouldn't be messin with things when they have no clue what they're getting into!
[Hero CDMA General] AjaxBU:
I used a one click root about 9 months ago, it worked for me and I have learned a tremendous amount since then. I understand the thought that it can sometimes breed lazy root users but often it can be a tool to expedite the process and set a firm foundation for what the user will ultimately learn. This, of course, is not always the case but grouping one click rooters in to the lazy/stupid category isn't necessarily accurate either.

Since my one-click root I've dabbled into many different roms, found the ones I liked, changed recoveries a few times, used apps2sd and data2ext (ext4 and ext2) before finally finding the setup that matches my needs the best.

I understand that getting the same question 100 times is annoying, but remember that we were all new to android at some point. If it weren't for XDA, its community of awesome users, and even more amazing developers I'd be stuck with a bloated, slow Hero. I am by no means an expert now, nor will I ever be, but I learn more every day.

*chuckle* I could vent here also but I've said my peace. I've committed to at least trying to ignore the ignorance. If they don't show the board respect in those small ways then I refuse to help. My time is more valueable. I did recently in fact let it get too me too much and let y3mita try but I did get the better of him and got him banned along with the help of others that reported.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenburn:
So I noticed that my 3G wasn't connecting all day on my fascinate. I was running Evil Fascinate 3.3.2 with the nemesis ED01 kernel and the ED01 modem. So I flashed the EC01 modem. No 3G. So I completely wipe everything after a nandroid backup and installed stock DL09. Bam, 3G is back. I allow it to update itself to Froyo OTA. 3G working great. I wipe the phone and install the new Community Rom from scratch. 3G is gone again. I wipe the phone and I flash EF 3.4. 3G still gone.

So I'm back on stock Froyo. I'll do more testing later to see if rooting makes 3G go away again, but at this time I'm suitably freaked out.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenburn:
I think the piece of code in the unknown tethering module is phone home code. I think it's a combination of the phone home not happening, and high 3g usage triggering a disconnect on the other end.

[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Seeing as some of the framework needs to be modded for a pre-rooted version of the 1.2 ROM I figured I would throw a little zip together with some stuff to play with. Its nothing special. Instructions:

1. Download the attached zip file to your computer and extract it onto your desktop, your documents, your "taxes 1993" folder, "kittens folder", or wherever you want for that matter.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT CWM FLASHABLE, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

2. Download one of Nemith's ROMs from here.

3. Use winrar, archive manager or any other software you have that can open up zip files and open the rom you downloaded in step 2. Once thats open, click on "system", then "bin".

4. Go back to the files you downloaded and extracted in step 1 and you will see something called 'su' simply drag and drop the 'su' file into that "bin" folder you opened in step 3. It might take a minute to add it to the zip archive so be patient.

5. Once that is done, click the back button in winrar or whatever your using so you will now be in the "system" folder and no longer in /system/bin. You should see a folder called "app", click on it. Once thats open, drag and drop the apks that were included in the zip into there and give them a second to be added in.

6. Once that is done, your free to add any additional apks that you either downloaded or have backed up from a previous setup. (extract some from root explorer before flashing the update if you would like, then copy those on there.)

7. Now that you have all the apks you want added in there, close the zip, put it on your sdcard and flash that bad boy up.

Note: I included 2 launchers in there, VTL and ADW free. You can add both of them if you want and try them out or just pick one or the other. The apk that says something about gojimi is the VTL launcher. Also, feel free to add apps that require root since you have root access thanks to that business with su earlier. This doesnt have the market because BN is gay and their custom framework needs to be hacked, (thank you for the Nook though. ;) ) also, youll need to select one of the custom launchers if you wanna use all of the apps you added. Superuser.apk and the nookcolor tools utility are included in the zip.

I believe this is not considered warez since all the files included are free, mods feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Once again, this doesnt have market, just a guide to adding apps and being able to use root.

Hit thanks if I helped you. :)
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
awesome!!!

so no market means no gapps either?

what about amazon appstore?
[Nook Color General] elessarelfstar:
This is great. I already have it up and running with a bunch of other apks and a third party launcher using this same method, but the nook color tools and root will be helpful too (enabling the installation of "unknown apps" will be very good).
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Amazon App store should work now that you mention it. Just download the apk online and put it in there. Hahah Im working on a full rooted rom but I figured Id give you all something easy to do for now.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
do all apk have to into system app as i think amazon installs to data folder
[Nook Color General] elessarelfstar:
You can sideload the Amazon app (or download it through the browser) after you do the steps in the OP. After it boots, open Nook Color Utils (tools?) and then uncheck and check the unknown apps option at the top. After that you should be able to download and install or sideload anything into data/app.
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
You can push to /data/app also.
[Nook Color General] Canadoc:
doesnt work. won'tinstall from a web download

also titanium backup cant find root so this doesn't work. not sure what value su has
[Nook Color General] greenmky:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1050520&page=5

I suggested loading one of the one-click root apps into the ROM? Does that work?
[Nook Color General] elessarelfstar:
I did try installing with z4root in system/apps and it didn't work. Though that may have been because it needs to run from data/app (maybe?). Don't know. Haven't tried it that way yet.
[Nook Color General] imjimmy:
This is unbelievable! Thanks so much for this.

I use my nook for 70% reading + 30 % for emailing and web browsing.

I installed CM7 on emmc, but the battery sleep issue is killing (goes from 100 to 0% in a day) + I cannot use the stock Nook reading App. The Nook market app sucks compared to the stock nook app.

I was ideally looking for a solution which would allow me to use the stock nook reader + email + good web browser.

So can I sideload apps such as Dolphin HD browser and Any email client, using this method? Is there any limit to sideloading apps in the system/app folder? I do have a bunch of apk's that I would love to use.

Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Works for me, try adb shell

Cd /system/app

Chmod su 4755
[Nook Color General] RileyGrant:
Yes you can do all of that! And I dot think you'll run into any problems unless you have like 600 Mbs of apps. Hahaha

How to flash this?

Please excuse the Noob questions.

How do I go about flashing this? Do I just insert the sd card and boot? Do I hold the n and power buttons? Some other way?

Also, will this all be wiped out if B&N force-upgrades over wifi?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinyAggie:
Hi,

I have a TELUS HTC Desire that was already rooted when I got it.

It has HBOOT 0.93

I didn't know that my phone was SLCD so when I used ROM Manager to flash recovery, it messed up my recovery.

If I go into hboot, and press down arrow to boot into recovery, I get the black screen with the little phone and the red triangle with the exclamation mark.

I was desperate enough to try the ClockworkMod Recovery for the HBOOT 0.83 (ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 SLCD)

from hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=748618

flashed that on with UnrEVOked but didn't work. Recovery is still messed up.

I googled and searched for a week to find something for HBOOT 0.93 but I never find anything. Everything is for 82, 83 and 92. There are other people who asked about 0.93 in other threads but there are never answers to them.

Does anyone know of a proper ClockwordMod recovery img or ANY recovery img I can flash for my HBOOT 0.93

My phone is already android 2.2 but i would really like to flash to LeeDroid

Should I reflash my phone with the RUU to get rid of any dmg done? The only thing i'm afraid of is that my phone will be unrooted because of the RUU reflash and I can't find a way to root it.

If it's not possible to use UnrEVOked or Rom Manager to install LeeDroid because of HBOOT 0.93, I'm willing to manually do it.

But will the LeeDroid flash properly onto my phone if it's HBoot 0.93?

Does the flashboot thing when i boot into the HBOOT work for installing custom ROMS if I can't get into recovery? I noticed it will load images...but not sure exactly what the fastboot thing is suppose to do.

Thanks!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghalalb:
HBOOT 0.93 is not the problem, neither is your SLCD. Use fastboot to flash your recovery, I suggest use either AmonRa 2.0.1 or CWM 2.5.1.8.

CWM from ROM Manager isn't the best recovery for your HBoot as I think it flashes 2.5.0.7 which is no good on your HBoot.

You can't flash a ROM from fastboot, you need recovery. Once you've done that, LeeDrOiD will work fine on your setup, but I would suggest you study up a lot more before proceeding, for one thing, it's easy to find a lot of info on HBoot 0.93 on this forum, secondly, get to know fastboot etc as you needs to know this for when things go wrong with cheat/easy methods like ROM Manager.

Take your time, be confident you know what you are doing it before you do it, you don't want to brick your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Both of you need to know quite a bit more, but especially the OP...

But no he can of course not flash an unsigned recovery from fastboot without being s-off, and from the sound of the first post I'm confident he's not.

ghalalb is right though when he states that this has nothing to do with your bootloader version or slcd, and i really can't imagine how you can get the simple instructions on here wrong, but please simply use unrevoked via usb. It comes preloaded with a perfectly fine recovery for you, and also i believe you should really reconsider the decision to hack your phone with this little knowledge on the subject.

Also 2.5.0.7 vs 2.5.1.8 has nothing to do with hboot versions.. Both will work fine if flashed correctly, but the problem with just making rom manager flash the recovery is, that it is not quite up to date, so it does not actually flash anything. It just downloads an update.zip file, which loads the recovery when flashed. This fixed the problem of not being able to flash a custom recovery back before unrevoked came around. And to correct you on another thing you got wrong, yes you can actually flash a zip file containing something like a rom from fastboot if you are s-off. It will probably just not work exactly the same way, as the recoveries does.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinyAggie:
That's interesting that you say hboot version and slcd has nothing to do with the ClockworkMod when other threads are very specific about which clockworkmod version you should use depending on your hboot and if your phone is slcd or not.

Also last time I did an update to the phone, it just used the fastboot. Didn't go into recovery.

I followed the exact instructions for unrevoked but an error occurrs when it tries to unroot...All I wanted to do was flash the recovery and not unroot the phone since it's already unrooted. So probably that's why it was having problems. But the recovery was still messed up after unrevoked did it's work.

I wonder if part of the problem is because I'm using a test image and not the actual production image for the phone. Which is probably another reason why the phone was already unrooted.

I'll try to reflash my phone using the RUU for a production image and try Unrevoked again just so everything is clean from the start
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Trust me it doesn't matter. The only problem was on slcd phones back when they first came out, where cwm didn't contain the drivers for the new screen.

That is why it says it's for 0.83, as back then 0.83 was equal to slcd and all amoled models had come with 0.75 or 0.80. But now after the newer updates everyone is on 0.93 or so, and all newer cwm recoveries will work for both amoled and slcd. So no there is not a specific recovery for every bootloader, and there is no way a flash from rom manager messed your recovery up, as it never flashes anything.

And i think you might need to slow down and think about what you are doing? Because you talk about unrooting with unrevoked, and unrevoked will probably try to root your phone ;) If you use unrevoked correctly you will have it working fine.

Also you say last time you updatet it, it used fastboot? updatet it officially? As then there is a reason you have the stock recovery. But try using the ruu and then go back to rooting using unrevoked or just keep it stock, as it might not be a good idea trying something without knowing what it does.

edit: and the screen you get with the phone in a triangle with an exclamation mark doesn't mean anything is wrong. It's just the stock htc recovery... If you press vol-up+power(or vol-down+power i don't remember) when you see this screen, you get a simple menu, which lets you flash update.zip and erase data.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TinyAggie:
Thanks for your response I thought that the triangle screen was bad since I tried the volume stuff and I couldn't get to the screen.

But if that's the stock htc recovery, then that means the clockworkmod recovery wasn't flashed properly?

I will try the keys again when i get to the recovery state later.

Actually I was having problems with UnrEVOked because my phone was ALREADY rooted. So it was trying to do something that was already done which is probably why it failed. I only needed unrevoked to flash the recovery...I didn't need it to do anything else but the recovery.

What I have on my phone right now is not the official load. It has test keys and crap in it....

Anyways, I'll see if I can get into the recovery menu properly before doing the RUU flash to have a clean start.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Ok :) Unrevoked should work fine anyway though. It just flashes a recovery and the su binary plus the superuser app. So if you are rooted it will just overwrite them. Your problem is far more likely to be a driver problem.

I rooted the old way as well(the one only allowing test keys signed roms) and then i used fake flash from rom manager until alpharev s-off came along, and now i just flash everything but roms from fastboot, it's far easier.
