[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c1o5ry1991:
wiping everything will get rid of all of the extra folders and what not that other roms have created and what not?

As for battery stats what is the "real" way to do that correctly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
YES...The SD card will be formatted.

I use amon RA v2.3 as my recovery and the option to wipe the battery stats is in the wipe menu near the bottom.

UPDATE: You can download amon RA's PC36IMG.zip from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

Place the file on the root of your SD card and then shut down your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text will flash across the screen. Afterwards, the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the easy prompt to install. Installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD CARD, if you haven't already done so.

Got CM7 installed perfectly clean, love having a fresh setup. Anyway, I'll have to un-root in a few weeks for a bit.

When I re-root again, if I wipe everything out can I literally just copy/paste my current setup (the one with CM7 before un-rooting from above) back into the memory after i re-root/re-wipe again?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Just go into recovery BEFORE you unroot and make a nandroid backup of your current setup.

If you mean can you copy your backup to a computer, wipe everything, etcetera before unrooting and copying the backup back to your SD card after you've re-rooted, then yes.

Yes, you can copy the entire contents of the SD card onto a computer and vice versa via a USB connection. As for the powersaver thing, the decrease in performance should not be that noticeable, however, it is designed to conserve power.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knigitz:
It seems like the camcorder is much higher quality, seems odd, since it's coming from the same lens. Even just switching between the two, the camcorder doesn't have as much viewing angle, and everything seems much sharper.

Anyone else notice this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
I have noticed it.

Wider angle = more in the picture = lower quality.

It's the same 5mp camera for both the camcorder and camera but since the camera has a wider viewing angle, more is in the picture at once and it decreases the relative resolution.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knigitz:
Unsure how it has a wider viewing angle, it is the same hardware.

My camcorder video always comes out looking nicer than my photos, even after I lower the resolution on the photos to 1280x720 after the picture is taken. The camera should natively look nicer on the small screen, since it's a larger resolution snapshot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarpenter85:
You probably just aren't holding the phone as still as you think you are. Try resting it on something stable when you are taking pictures if possible. Also, make sure you are holding down the shutter button to focus before you let go.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knigitz:
Done this, camera appears more blurry on the display even before taking a picture. Camcorder appears much more sharp and vivid.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
The camera does not have a fixed lens, it can focus and zoom. When the camera is being used, the lens is at it's widest angle possible. Since the camcorder would not be able to process that wide of a video fast enough in 720p, the lens has a shorter viewing angle (aka wider focal length).

I'm big in photography so I'm speaking from knowledge of cameras and it may or may not be the same on cell hpones...but I'm pretty sure it is.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ririal:
Partially correct, the camera physically moves to focus, but it's not changing the viewing angle. http://www.newscaletech.com/phone_camera.html

The resolution is changed within the app, it just crops the image. Camcorder is just likely sampling at a higher rate so there's less noise, and the stock camera app on the atrix is terrible.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodFoot:
The term "fixed lens" is ambiguous, since it doesn't specify which aspect is "fixed."

The Atrix camera module has a fixed focal length lens (i.e. not a zoom lens), but it is not a fixed focus lens (i.e. it has variable focus, in this case autofocus). The "zoom" function is just digital zoom, electronically cropping the image.

In video capture mode, the camera is cropping a section of the sensor, rather than using its full area as in still camera mode. (This increases the apparent focal length of the lens, but it's not actually changing the optics.) The video mode probably does this so that the resolution in the portion of the sensor used is a regular multiple of the video capture resolution, which can greatly simplify the image processing requirements.

Regarding the OP's original question, the viewfinder image appears sharper in video capture mode, but if you actually capture still and video images of the same scene, the still images are sharper. The better looking viewfinder in video mode is probably a result of the same reason they only use a cropped section of the sensor. It's like if you view an image in Photoshop at 25% size, it looks great because it's easy to scale the pixels that way, but if you view it at some usual magnification like 43%, it looks fuzzy.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sning:
hi,

i've been trying to update my radio.

a while ago i flash back to a stock orange rom so i could do s-off which seemed to go ok.

since then i have tried various ways (AMT 1.1 & 1.2 and Android control) to upgrade from radio from 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M to 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 as recommended by mike for his Android revolution ROM.

everytime i do it, the phone boots into fastboot and appears to load the new radio, the phone re-boots and everything tells me its been done successfully, but when i check the version reported in settings hasnt changed.

i checked by going into fastboot myself and it reports "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF " which should confirm that the s-off has worked and i can flash a new radio.

can anyone confirm that i've done it right, or am i missing something obvious?

many thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
To flash radios via fastboot you need ENG S-OFF.

You also should have Radio S-OFF.

Check these threads ENG S-OFF & Radio S-OFF
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sning:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazlious:
You need ENG S-OFF in order to flash your radio. Just use the search form and you will find a 1-Click-Tool in the forums.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgroimax:
All right. U need Eng OFF and S OFF.

I did it with Easy S-Off software and flashed radio with QFP.

what's the best radio(baseband)for the most powerful signal???

in my work place i have no signal but all my coworkers with cheap cell phones have full signal
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
I would check and see which provider they use. They might be closer to a transmission tower for that network.

They might be operating on 2g. I'm no rocket scientist, but seems to me, hardware requirements are less for 2g, thus, maybe they are a touch stronger.

Also (what the dealers don't tell you) is that a european ph has more reception power than a US spec ph. (no FCC restrictions). Guess I'll cook my brains a little faster. Mine is manufactured in China, so I'm on hi-power.

It's like a can full of nuts. But if you think it's a big issue, swap out phones.

[HTC Incredible S] 3tybagig:
Please try this and report back. The following procedure worked on a brand new Desire S with S-ON so I am assuming it will work on incredible as well.

With phone on go to:

Settings/Power/

Uncheck "fast Boot"

exit settings

Turn phone off

Boot with Power and volume down

wait

select "Recovery"

hit power to select

wait

you will now get a stupid icon on screen that won't go away

hit power and volume up

you should now be in recovery

From here you should be able to install a ROM as long as it is signed.

You may also be able to do some hackery if plugged into usb while in this screen using ADB or Fastboot. Please try and report back.

Won't work, fastboot doesn't recognize it and adb is disabled in HTC recovery, I thought (but not sure) that usb is disabled completely. Almost everything has been tried to hack the recovery. But it checks the files to many times, so exploits through scripts doesn't work. It checks the file's signature before flashing and since hijacking cannot be done it will be one hell of a job. A lot of high skilled hackers tried it already for a month almost non-stop.
