Artic Silver Ceramique or variant thermal pastes will do just as well right? I wish I just just pop into a "bios" and change so core voltages to make my HC Gtab run more stable at 1.4. :(

Update: So just got it open. Are the 4 chips on the side 128 mb ram modules? and a Texas instrument... "controller bridge"?
[G Tablet General] Xargon321:
Clemsyn how much room is there between the emi shield and the chip? might look at putting a thin piece of copper between the chip and the emi shield with a little ic diamond inbetween that should bring you temps down alot more. if the emi shield secures down make sure that the copper is just a wee bit bigger then you need so it will put a little bit of pressure on the chip this will also help with thermal transfer

i got an unmodded, TMOUS WM 6.5 HD2. youtube expends lots of power on my HD2. is there an app or add-on that limits the amount of power that yourtube expends on the phone?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hey koolxx

I do not think there is anything out there that will do that, but I could be wrong. Wait and see what some others might say about it. You do have to realize though Youtube plays streaming video and that takes a good bit of battery power as it requires several processes to be running at once.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
thanks t-mac. i wish there was at least a registry tweak that limits power on youtube. i appreciate your input, nonetheless.
[HD2 General] yurigagarin61:
you cant do such a thing.you can only make quality of videos low
[HD2 General] coldest~~~:
If you can limit the amount of power it uses, then there wont be anyone complaint about battery life in almost all smartphones right?

[HD2 General] koolxx:
yeah but the problem with that is the quality of videos will suck. i tried it and i changed it back to optimal quality. thanks for the reply anyway
[HD2 General] 8525Smart:
Well, as the saying goes, one can't eat one's cake and have it too.

All apps require a certain amount of battery power in order to function. Developers can make apps more efficient so it uses less, but Youtube is a special case. It's an app that simultaneously plays audio, video, and uses constant data. Such apps can't be very efficient and will always use an immense amount of battery power.

For Youtube, if you want it to use less power, switching to low quality is pretty much the only method. If you want high quality, then bearing the high power consumption is all you can do.

[Thunderbolt General] bjazz69:
I just wanted to put this information out for the masses. Today I switched phones on my account to a non 4G phone to do some work on it when switching back to my TB the system gave me an error saying my sim card could not activate and to call Verizon. Calling Verizon did not help I was told that the sim card number was placed in retirement and could not be reactivated. I was told when I purchased the phone that the sim card was attached to a phone number that you would keep the card with each 4G device you have. I now have to get a new card. So if you are thinking about making any changes on your line with your 4G phone you might not want to. I hope this is not going to be an ongoing problem with Verizon as I move phones around a lot on my line.
[Thunderbolt General] marcusblade:
4g sim card problem

I too had a similar issue. I had a number on a 3G phone that I wanted to move to a 4G phone. They had to do it in two steps as once they added a number to a sim card the only way to change it was to swap it to another sim card and retire the old one.

I was told it's a software bug in the Verizon system, and they are working on fixing it. Since Verizon doesn't charge for sim cards right now you should be able to transfer to a new sim card at no cost.

this is how all SIM cards are for all carriers. Once deactivated, they cannot be reactivated

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesoup:
I'm very new to the whole flashing rom thing. I've tried an unknown amount of times to access clockwork recovery however continued to come to either stock recovery or black screen. I am becoming very frustrated with this whole process. Someone please help me with this.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The Streak overwrites custom recovery files, and that is why you're not seeing the custom recovery you installed. There is a way to stop this which involves renaming etc\install-recovery.sh to etc\install-recovery.sh.bak. I used SuperManager from the Market to do the job, since it can write to the system.

I can provide a more detailed how-to later, but in short, I installed streakmod recovery, rebooted, installed and ran SuperManager to change the file mentioned above, then installed streakmod recovery a second time in case I wanted to flash custom updates to files.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesoup:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevesoup:
completed the task listed above. thank you for the required steps. however... using clockwork brings me to a black screen. you mentioned using streakmod? that will require fastboot right? I don't know how to use fastboot, like I can get to fastboot just not sure what to do from there. and on top of that no driver will properly install on my computer from the device for some reason, including android 1.0 and dell streak driver. what should I do now? thanks again for everything.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Flashing Streakmod will require getting into fastboot, yes. However you do not install drivers from the Streak. They areinstalled from the computer.

1a. Download ADB Tethering Drivers from here.

1b. Download Superuser and copy it to the root of the MicroSD card.

2. Download multirecovery flasher from here and extract the files to a directory, C:\Streak for example.

3. Run multirecovery flasher after reading up on how to use it, and select Streakmod Recovery.

4. Enter Fastboot mode on the Streak by holding down the camera button while turning the Streak on.

5. On the white screen that shows up following step 4, tap "Fastboot".

7. Wait for the response screen, which should say "Wait for USB FastBoot detect...".

8. Plug the data cable into the Streak, and watch the screen change to "FASTBOOT_MODE" in response.

9. The recovery image will very quickly load.

10. Hold down the volume up and down buttons then unplug the data cable. Continue holding down the buttons until you successfully get into Streakmod Recovery. From there you should be able to root the phone by installing Superuser from the "Install Update.zip" option in Streakmod Recovery.

11. Reboot.

12. If you want Streakmod Recovery to stick around, you'll need to follow the how to I provided earlier in the thread, then repeat steps 3-9 in this how to so Streakmod Recovery is reinstalled, since it was overwritten when you rebooted in step 11.

Now, you may encounter a problem at step 8, where the Streak does not show "FASTBOOT_MODE" but is stuck at "Wait for USB FastBoot detect...". This is where the ADB Tethering Driver I provided a link to comes into play.

1. Unzip the ADB Tethering Drivers into a directory.

2a. If running Windows XP, select "Run" and in the dialog box that pops up type "devmgmt.msc".

2b. If running windows Vista or Windows 7, in the search bar at the bottom of the Start Menu, type "device manager" and hit enter.

3. In the device manager should be an item labeled "Android 1.0".

4. Right click "Android 1.0" and select "Update Driver Software".

5. Select "Browse my computer for driver software".

6. Click on "Browse" and navigate to the directory where the ADB Tethering Driver is located.

7. Click "Next" to install the driver.

8. If a prompt comes up saying the driver is not digitally signed, ignore the prompt and install the driver anyway.

9. Re-run the how-to above.

Hopefully this helps, because this is exactly how I had to do it myself, including installing the driver.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thejaredhuang:
Followed to a T and still have the same results. Black screen when I try to get into Streakmod. You get into SR by doing double volume and then selecting update.pkg right?

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Since this thread is here I hope someone can solve my similar problem. I am trying to install a zip file.

I want to run Clockwork mod recovery mode but when I try it just reboots as normal. I have tried following the instructions by renaming the recovery-install file. But nothing has happened. I am on o2 stock 2.2 is there another option available to me or will I have to go down the Fastboot method?( Which I don't fancy trying to get my head round!) :(
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eSZee:
You need to go into fastboot in order to flash the recovery from your computer. Did you do that?

Turn phone off, hold camera button, turn phone off, wait 20 seconds, connect phone, run multi recovery flasher to install streakmod, reboot. Hold volume buttons when phone restarts, then press power on the blank screen to bring up streakmod.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
Hmm...I didn't want to hear that but I guess I'll have to give it a go.

I was hoping that I could just do it from running Recovery Mode from Rom Manager without the fuss of messing with Fastboot mode. I've read too many scary stories of things going wrong. If everything goes to plan then I may as well consider trying to install 2.2.2.

Thanks mate.Have a +1 on me! :D

What is the best stylus for the capacitive screen we have? I am looking for something with a fine point, let me know your opinions, thanks in advance!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paravorheim:
Not how capacitive screens work

That's not how capacitive screens work. No matter how fine a stylus is, the screen will recognize the same thing. This is because a capacitive screen does not measure based on pressure, it measures based on current (At least, that's what I've been told).

If you wanted a finer tip to do finer things with,I'd go for an active digitizer display or resistive screen based phone (Which are basically obsolete now due to active digitizers and capacitive displays.

Hope that helps a bit.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromedome00:
Yes it is true that capacitive detects current instead of touch, that does not mean that it is less accurate when discussing location of touch. The underlying grid determines this, but in todays screens, I would think it is as accurate as a resistive screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banes:
thank you but i am not looking to exchange this phone for a resistive phone, so given this new information, what is the most accurate stylus that isn't too thick
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armathrillo:
I was looking for the exact same thing, and ended up going with the "Newest Generation Slim Capacitive Stylus" by A Young Life (AYL). Got it off Amazon, but it might be available elsewhere as well. Works great, slides with minor resistance, and has a much narrower tip than other pens I've used.

While point width doesn't make much of a technical difference, it certainly affects usability. All capacitive stylus models I've seen use a round tip, and the point of contact at the bottom of that little semispherical nub is what registers as a touch on the screen. No matter the size, a sphere is going to converge to a single contact point (with a little give due to material and pressure). But, since you can't see through the pen, you have to estimate the center of the nub when touching it to the screen. The smaller the blind spot created by the nub, the smaller the margin of error.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
I bought one off Ebay for .99 delivered from China. It's a small cute collapsable pen with a thin point. I haven't tried it yet because while the tip is thin to allow precise pointing, it is also made from a hard material and I'm scared it may scratch the screen. Is that possible?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creiz:
If the tip is made for capacitive screens, it should not harm the Atrix gorilla glass.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
Could anything sold for under a buck from China possibly harm....Anything?

Youbetcha. As Bush and Mao both said "Trust but verify". Even a gen-you-whine Palm stylus could scrtach Palm screens, so why trust the cheapest stuff from a no-name vendor in China to be any better?

Put on a screen protector first, much cheaper than replacing the screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Jeckyl:
I just received the one armathrillo is describing a couple posts back and I've got to say this thing is nice. The tip is actually a soft hollow bubble. You couldn't scratch a screen if you tried. It's nice and heavy but not too heavy. It feels like a nice solid pen. The little lanyard attachment is a nice touch. It detaches from the stylus and plugs into a 3.5mm headphone jack for storage. when you're done with the stylus just clip it on and the pen stays with the phone/tab/pad.
