If you are trying to use the LED as a flashlight try instant heart rate from the market. can't be left on while you multi task and probably is a huge batt drain but works great for both purposes...2¢

[Samsung Mesmerize] Salled:
The only issues ive had with Heinz57 is that I cant get the clock on the status bar to change any color but black. And sometimes the market does some weird things, and force closes. So I am having trouble downloading apps/games.

EDIT

I fixed the color issue by restarting my phone after I changed the settings. That worked.

Im still having trouble with the market though. I will try to reflash my phone and see what happens.

Is anyone else having that issue on Heinz57?
[Samsung Mesmerize] thebrickbandit:
my setup

EC10 with root and recovery

CWM 2.5

Heinz57 v4.40.11

OTB Reloaded v 1.3

so far 0 problems whatsoever and its faster than hell. if you dont match this setup. try it. its been literally flawless for me.
[Samsung Mesmerize] brennan361992:
i cant get Heinz57 to install. i got the latest update version (5/3/11) and i also completely wiped my phone all the way back to stock (Froyo 2.2) and i have followed directions to a T. but my problem is when i select the zip file to install the ROM from the red recovery it gets to "Installing Update..." and just freezes. the loading bar does nothing and the phone is useless. any suggestions?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
My guess is that you aren't waiting long enough. This Rom takes a little longer than most to install.
[Samsung Mesmerize] brennan361992:
how long should i be waiting? i can run the EC10 PnP v0.3 ROM with no problems but when i want to switch to ANYTHING else it just stops when it gets to the "Installing Update..." step. it even still has the lines in the loading bar instead of being solid with the download progress. AHHHH! it's driving me crazy! i've been going at it for two days solid now with no luck (although i'm only a noob).
[Samsung Mesmerize] thebrickbandit:
try using the 4/30/11 or wahtever it is. thats what im using and its perfect. the only changes in the new version is he fixed a bug with the MIUI lockscreen i beleive. its basically identical.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
You should make sure you're using the latest version of cwm located below, let us know if you still have the issue. I typically flash the .tar in odin (it will replace the existing blue stock recovery so that you don't have to apply any update.zip to get into CWM)

[Samsung Mesmerize] brennan361992:
okay so i am running the newest update of cwm and i flashed that using odin. i also tried the 4/30 version and still nothing :( im baffled.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Wombatant:
For heinz 57, you require to already have EC10 and the PnP already installed.

So the order i did things in was...

1. EC10 Root and Recovery flashed using odin

2. installed update.zip from blue CWM to get red CWM, , then cwm-recovery-all.zip to keep it red on boot (i think i rebooted once here to make sure i got to red right away alright - no problems)

3. installed mesmerize ec10 .5 pick n pack, from red CWM,

4. then Heinz_57.Hybrid_v4_30_11_OTB.zip installed from cwm red.

hope this helps - i had problems installing heinz 57 until i ready very carefully.

addition: you only need EC10 for heinz, but i could not get just the EC10 root and recovery to work with heinz, so i tried installing the PnP ater the Root and recovery and then heinz installed fine no problems. I am, however having problems with the gps. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1067693 for details if you can help - thanks).
[Samsung Mesmerize] jpaulwaite:
just out of curiousity, you are getting the correct rom for your phone, right? as in...the showcase rom for your showcase, the mesmerize rom for your mesmerize...?
[Samsung Mesmerize] jpaulwaite:
er...not exactly.

I've flashed this rom a dozen times, and every kernel available. It works just fine.

Try This.

1: Do a stock (non-rooted) odin flash.

2: Boot your phone, do any account setup, blah blah.

3: Turn Phone off, flash custom recovery-all-fixed

4: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off, reboot to custom recovery.

5: Install heinz 5/3 (it comes with a kernel, and it's rooted) from zip on sdcard (not update.zip)

6: Reboot, let fully boot, then turn off.

7: Boot to recovery, wipe dalvik and data and then flash your theme.

8: Enjoy.

Make sure you read all the info provided by the devs on their respective threads. If you're applying a ported theme, then read the original thread for that theme.

And remember kids...if you don't know what you're doing, and you have trouble following clearly outlined instructions, and don't check in chat for answers, fail to read guides and tutorials sticked, or are just downright simple...you probably have no business messing with your phone.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Read, alot, ask lots of questions in the right places if you can't find the answers you need from reading. Then post a thread.

And tell 'em J sent ya!

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dino_squirrel:
Hey guys, i don't know if I can really do more research and use the search button more than I have so I'm now asking.

My phone runs like complete crap.

Before I "upgraded" to 2.2 it ran fine. Fast, screens were smooth, aps loaded quickly, and no crashes ever.

Now that I'm on 2.2, which i have been since the launch, I have random aps force close, all, the, time. One day it'll be TWLauncher, the next, rhapsody, the next, internet browser, etc. I'm literally not exaggerating at all. I close aps using "Program Monitor" that came with the phone. I've looked at and used other ap killers but there's no difference in what shut down. The one that came with the phone dose the same so I've tested those waters. I saw something about using titanium to "freeze" aps but I'm still unsure as to what that is. I'm rooted, saw no difference, have galaxytuner to OC when I play a game or two. i have only galaxy tuner about 7/8 times. I have startup auditor and shut down EVERYTHING it would allow. My battery life has sucked the more the performance went down. I do work in a low reception area so I go into airplane %50 of the day, by my choice. In airplane mode i would still see MAYBE 10 hours on my phone, wtf is running? I bought Juice Defender and love it, it increased battery life by 1.98 to 2.44 depending.

I'm a computer tech, don't know much about linux, reading all i can, but there's so much and I'm so far behind it's confusing. I'm open to suggestions and willing to try anything.

New rom

yes, I'll go to a different rom if that's what the consensus says but I love swype and samsung's layout. Can i keep that... somehow?

also. Since i got into 2.2 the browser BLOWS. Just sucks so bad. I haven't pin pointed when this happens, but sometimes on a large page when I'm zoomed in and I scroll it makes everything TINY and scrolls that, then goes back into my zoom or it just makes the page the background HTML color while I'm scrolling so i have no idea what I'm looking at. wtf is that? some setting i haven't found?

Ok, well i hope this is enough info. I'm posting this in XDA and Android Forums to maximize my coverage. thank you for reading and I apologize in advance if I sounded like an idiot.

Samsung epic 4g, SPH d700

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Ok that's a lot of stuff. But yes maybe a stock ROM with root and throw Genocide 1.0 kernel on it will really speed things up. After rooting you will want to wipe data and Dalvik cache to clear up some of the issues you have developed.

Quick option would be factory data reset to clear out everything and then add a little at a time to see when these errors start. Also make sure you don't pull the battery without waiting for the vibration.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dino_squirrel:
how do I do the genocide thing? I really do have a lot of aps installed, 5 pages worth. Most are small though, should this affect my phones performance? i purchased MyBackup Pro.

Corection. i have 7 pages. I can part with most of that ****, because it is... newegg, autozone etc... Now, I heard that I can get all my paid aps back just by syncing with the ap store IF i restore?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watermoore:
Well first off thanks for posting in the right area. Secondly I am not a guru around here but my approach when I run into performance issues is to wipe and start from scratch.

If you play a lot of games and wish to keep your progress, I would root with the One Click Root 2.5. Then install titanium backup. Only backup apps you wish to keep your progress in (Angry Birds etc). Titanium Backup instructions are available on YouTube

If you dont care about your backing up apps to save progress just skip this step.

Then goto the ACS Sydicate Frozen Thread and follow the installation instructions inside. They have the most stable optimized (battery and speed) ROM IMO that should fix your issues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Good, backup everything just in case. Yes your paid apps are synced to your gmail so you will be able to redownload them for free. Most apps will appear back in your download list.

The first thing you will need to do is root your phone. Start here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770388

Then go here to get the Genocide kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961614

Download it and copy it to your phone's sd card.

And then you will go into Clockwork (boot holding camera, volume down and power buttons) pick "install zip file from sd card" (volume buttons scroll and camera button chooses) then "choose zip file from sd card" scroll through your sd card until you find the file you downloaded and put on your sd card and scroll to it again and hit camera button and away you go.

After you get all that done and all is well read through the overclocking section and start with 1.2Ghz and see how that works.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dino_squirrel:
I'm already rooted, backing up everything as we speak.

Now Do i really want to overclock? my phone ran fine before 2.2, how do I get back to that state of speed?

Can you recommend a rom?

I'm going to factory restore. dumb question, but will i have to root again?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I am not sure what stock stuff you are using or if you are ready for changing your file system, but the ROMs here tend to remove some of the stock apps or widgets that are considered bloatware. I would start with just a kernel for now and then think about a ROM when you are more familiar with the process.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes, if you do a factory reset you will need to reroot. The Syndicate Frozen fully loaded mentioned in a previous post would have most of the sprint apps like Touchwiz and a fast kernel. But read up on EXT4 and Clockwork Mod 3.0.0.6 before jumpinng in.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976194

and

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=897612

The new kernel alone without overclocking will already speed up your system. Also download Spare Parts and set all all animations to FAST and that will make it seem much faster too.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dino_squirrel:
Im trying to factory reset but if i chose the menu way, nothing happens. It warns me, restarts, and nothing has changed. I can't even do it with the buttons. I hold volume down, hit hit the power button and it boots normally. Wtf?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
In this order, hold camera, hold volume down, hold power. Into Clockwork you go. :D

This Is how you install the app

Install Root Explorer

with Root explorer Navigate To /system/app

Set R/W

Navigate down and delete IMP.APK

now download apk provited below

put it in sd card

now go to root explorer again and go to /sdcard

find the IMP.apk and copy it

now go to /system/app and paste it there

Scroll down to the pasted apk, long press on it and select Permissions (you'll see 9 check boxes when you do this)

Check the Read and Write buttons for User, and only the Read boxes next to Group and Others, then tap OK (once you're done, the read/write permissions under the app name should be the same as all the other apps listed

Reboot.

[Atrix 4G General] fsturbo15:
It almost seemed like every other test I ran would alternate between upstream throughput of 1.5 Mbps, and then 384 kbps, even in the same position. I took some photos of the Inspire 4G showing this behavior just a minute apart in an area with very good AT&T signal.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4304/att-update-enables-hsupa-on-motorola-atrix-htc-inspire

I am getting the same results. I cannot for the life of me get consistent >1mbps upload speeds.

I think it's fair to say ATT has the worst 4g network out of all the big players who are getting over 10mbps download and a constant 1 mbps upload while we are stuck with 1.5/300 with a max of 5/1 on a good run.
[Atrix 4G General] mjsztainbok:
I'm using my phone around Seattle with the update and I can consistently get over 1Mbps upstream and about 3.5Mbps downstream
[Atrix 4G General] Gr8Danes:
These are the exact same results I have been seeing, so I can relate. Either AT&T just has a crappy network (the most likely), or they have found another way to cap based on frequency of downloads/uploads. IE capping 75% and uncapping 25% to reduce overall loads on the network. Just my theory.
[Atrix 4G General] Chubby_Skunk:
I get the same. SeaTown!!!! :eek:
[Atrix 4G General] mazdaspeed786:
Yea I agree we do have the worst 4g network, even metro pcs LTE kicks the *hit out of my atrix here in Dallas oh well, maybe in the future they will improve. Im getting about 6.56 down and 1.6 up right now in the late hours of the night and about 3.1 down and 1.1 up during the peak hours in the day, so its not too bad I guess.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
This isn't AT&T's 4g, its just what we should have been getting with 3g all along. And the reason PCS LTE network rocks AT&T so hard is they just leech off Verizons LTE towers which actually have 4g enabled.

[Atrix 4G General] RCtennis3811:
Another Dallasite! I don't know where you are, but my iPhone 4 in the Park Cities gets about 5Mbps on average with 1.23Mbps on the upload side. My uncle's Atrix was just updated and he can easily pull 7-8Mbps at his house in Allen, which supposedly has less backhaul than Dallas. I know Plano is a weak-spot for AT&T speeds, however.
[Atrix 4G General] schwiing:
Also getting low speeds here:

3.5mbps down, 0.3mbps up
[Atrix 4G General] Exador:
Me too, I'm gonna switch carriers when my contract expires next year. This whole Atrix fiasco is really getting on my nerves. Between the locked bootloader and crappy network speeds I've had about enough. It's too much to ask for the network to change so I'm gonna change networks and munufacturer while I'm at it. Screw AT&T and Motorola they both suck.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williefdiaz:
WiMAX is one of the three competing "4G" (which I now call FauxG) technologies being used in the United States. The other two being LTE (Long Term Evolution) and HSPA+/HSPA Advanced

All three are capable of effectively managing spectrum allocations, capacity, and delivering voice over internet protocol dependent on set up, but the main use for these technologies is for mobile internet/data.

WiMAX started first, and Sprint/Clearwire wanted a head start and went with this. LTE the more world standard technology came later, AT&T and Verizon both use this and many other companies are switching to LTE soon. LTE trial tests are being conducted on Sprint and Clearwire should either company decide to change over. HSPA+/HSPA Advanced started a little late in the game and is essentially a 3G technology that behaves like and gives application usage like a 4G network such as WiMAX or LTE. T-Mobile is the main company to use HSPA+ however AT&T is overlaying much of their network, albeit much slower than T-Mobile, with HSPA+ and calling it "4G" prior to their LTE roll out.

WiMAX unfortunately is only on 2.3, 2.5 and 3.5Ghz frequencies for the time being, meaning the signal while capable of fast speeds, does not penetrate buildings or walls easily or effectively enough for indoor use, even with closely spaced tower placement.

Sprint and Clearwire hope to change this with a network upgrade plan which would essentially recycle unused 800/850, 1900 spectrum for use with WiMAX and CDMA, as well as using the current 2.5Ghz spectrum for WiMAX and CDMA.

LTE on the other hand, was deployed at 700Mhz. While the signal travels though buildings and walls easily, the lower frequency will result in slower maximum data speeds over all and lower battery life.

HSPA+ is a 3G technology, so if you are familiar with T-Mobile or AT&T or any GSM type network you know it is the same as before, only new hardware handsets and a software upgrade at the cell site have enabled faster speeds. The only hardware from the tower that needs replacing is backhaul.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
To elaborate on Williefdiaz's "FauxG" comment, there has been some controversy (among tech geeks at least) as to what's "really" 4G. ITU had defined it as a network supporting 100 Mbit/s for mobile installations and 1Gbit/s for fixed or nearly fixed installations (phones would of course be mobile). Neither WiMax nor LTE meet that yet, but they're sufficiently fast enough compared to 3G that the industry has chosen to market it as such. Even T-Mo's HSPA+ technology, which is even further from the 4G requirements in that it's not an all-IP packet switched network, is being marketed as 4G because it can provide similar speeds.

In the end, it looks like anything capable of delivering speeds of 5-10Mbit/s (or more) is going to be called 4G, regardless of the ITU's definition.
