I did on the Adata 16gb class 6.. It was reading at around 18 and writing at over 10. That was putting it up there w/ class 10 specs..

Manufacturers suggest using the SDFormatter V3 to format the card instead of using other utilities in the phone or windows.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I don't think anyone knows for certain what the phone is capable of. If you find that out, great.. please let us know.

What I'm trying to relay is that the speeds mentioned on class 10s are not what they are all cracked up to be. Sure, higher is better.. but it's only better if it actually achieves a higher speed. Also, it must be a higher speed that can justify the price difference. Beating a class4 by a cpl mb/s but double the costs was not worth it. I spent a few days doing research on this.. studying many different test results, etc. I could go back through and find all the data for ya.. but I don't have time. My final result was that the class 10s were not worth it.. they had a higher fail rate than the 4s and 6s.. they were less recommended/had lower reviews than the 4s and 6s.. in some cases, they performed slower or at par w/ a 4 or 6, and they were dbl the price. There was absolutely nothing that said it was a good route to go. Nothing outside of the marketing.. "Class 10!!!"

In some cases, depending upon manufacturer, you can find a class 4/6 that will outperform some class 10s. I also see a much lower customer satisfaction, malfunctioning cards, returns, etc. when it comes to the class 10s.. much more than any other class.

My battery ran out yesterday when i tried to restart when charging it got stuck looping on the boot symbol with LG and the stripy line. I had to take battery out to stop it as power button not working. Once the unit was fully charged it was still stuck in boot loop. So my only option was to hard reset...which worked but was a hastle reinstalling everything. will this always happen every time the battery runs out ?:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hah2110:
I've had this on other android devices before but never this bad. Under network usage, the top item is consistently "0". Clicking on it results in FC. I just went to CM7. I dont think the issue came back until I reinstalled all of my apps. I used a network monitor when I was stock rooted and never saw anything unusual. Anyone have any ideas? I have a feeling it is killing my battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] arcanumal:
Bump. I have the same issue. If I click on the item labeled 0, it force closes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hah2110:
Can you give me a list of all of your apps? Maybe we have a culprit in common.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hah2110:
Bump.......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
I have the same. I believe it is all non system apps lumped together as I don't have any of them listed like I did on my n1. I think the system isn't representative of individual app use for data or battery. The battery history normally lists apps associated with a specific uid if you press each. My theory is something in the framework isn't registering apps independently but grouping them together creating false readouts.

[EDIT] I do see individual apps on network use so I want to strike my theory. Now I'm just back to puzzled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mashix:
seems like mine but mine stopped a 999% battery left and i was like wtf?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] arcanumal:
Sorry, been too busy to check back in on XDA for a few days. I could post a list of apps, but my original observation was during the couple of days after I did all the factory wiping / calibrating to fix my battery life. I didn't have any non-stock apps installed at the time.

The 0 is still there, and still force closes. I was hoping some more people might have insight on this, but it doesn't seem to have caught on.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaZiODROID:
I have an HTC Desire Z (originally from Bell network (Canada), but unlocked and running on Rogers network). I rooted it and have ClockworkMod running (love it).

Right now I am on the Ultimate Droid 3.3.0 ROM. It's very speedy.. great ROM so far.

I have noticed that when the phone is idle for a while, (I dunno, 30 minutes or more?) I will miss calls without the phone even ringing. Then when the caller leaves a voicemail, it doesn't notify me that a voicemail is waiting. So I wouldn't have any clue of these calls.

After a little research, I noticed some people talking about radio, etc. I don't know much about radio, but am wondering if this could be causing my missed calls and voicemail notification. I remember on the stock Bell ROM, I was getting VM notifications but don't really remember if I missed many calls.

Anyway... first question: Does radio have to do with this idle missed calls situation? or maybe even the voicemail notification?

Second question: When you flash a custom ROM, does it update radio at the same time? (I'm thinking no... but just in case.. what the heck do I know anyway).

Third question: There's a great post on here where someone tested a bunch of Desire Z radio images and zipped them up nicely and also provided the img's. Does each one represent a geographical area or system? How does one determine which is the best for their phone (if it is even necessary?).

Thanks very much. I'll shut up now.

Oh wait.. here is my HBOOT info, in case that is helpful. Thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaZiODROID:
***UPDATE: To the first question...I guess this is a NO for the voicemail notification. I switched to the SensoredBlizzard ROM and it notifies me of my voicemails just fine.

I wish I knew which part of the SensoredBlizzard ROM operates this notification functionality (and whether or not it could be extracted / installed onto my UltimateDroid backup.

I#ve installed DH 2 and played it but it lags sometimes....

i've edited the build.prob and overclocked to 1 ghz

why is it lagging?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sebgus:
What are the requirements for DH2? Isn't it Tegra2?

The U8800 "only" has a Adreno 205.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] levibuko:
i dont know bur i dont think so because they are selling it for the desire hd
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yunfan:
I don't know if this is related, but I'v heared somewhere that you have to make gameloft

app thought it was running on a Desire HD, otherwise, it will download something which could cause the lagging.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] levibuko:
ive already made. that.

it says desire hd when i look at the phone Information
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
I think the Desire HD is a little faster than the X5 even when overclocked. But even then I don't think it should be that noticeable
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] neopeek:
lag will be fixed with Gingerbread. It's a known issue on some devices which use Froyo
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] levibuko:
oh thx for the Information :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Piron:
lags

In my opinion, the reason the game is stuttering bad organization of the system memory. The Adreno 2005 should have no trouble with most games available at the market. There is only one condition, ROM needs to be very well optimized. For the new ROM, we have to wait a bit:).

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topgun06:
Hi all,

I've flashed the ARHD 5.1.1 ROM today and all is working fine. I am now looking at flashing the CRT and Sense 3 lock-screen MODs onto my phone.

Am I correct in thinking I use the same procedure as I did for flashing the ARHD ROM using ROM Manager... where I would boot into recovery and select the *.zip from my SD card?

I've had a search around an I have been unable to find a definite answer.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foladko:
Quote from Mike's thread;

All extras listed here with meta-inf folder inside the .zip archive needs to be installed via Clockworkmod recovery!

So yes. Don't try flashing it at the same time as the ROM, always reboot first and then go back into recovery and flash addon.

Also, it's best to flash one at a time, I got a boot-loop once when I tried to flash a few of them at the same time :)

Happy flashing!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fionalindberg:
I'm new to rooting and I'm a middle-aged lady, so go easy :)

Having said that, I'm quite proud that I followed these instructions for rooting, and it worked first time and I got the magical S=off and bootloader version 0.86.0000.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995549

I guess that was just step one. I have two key questions:

1. Even before I consider installing another ROM, I thought once I was rooted I could uninstall the TMO bloatware. However, when I go to manage apps, it's the same situation as pre-root where the uninstall option is disabled. Am I missing something (some steps).

2. What is the easiest (least techie way) to install a ROM. Is it ROM Manager from the marketplace? I don't mind the more rigorous techie approach if required but I'd just as soon keep this easy as I'm probably going to try some different ROMs until I settle on one I like.

3. Finally, thoughts on the best gingerbread ROM. Important things to me are battery life, push email, and your standard business applications. I'm not a gamer at all so could care less about overclocking.

I'm loving my Nexus S with 2.3.4 now (just manually updated) but would like to get comparable functionality on a 4G phone instead of a 3G phone.

THANKS IN ADVANCE for any tips.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChaosSaber:
You can use Titanium Backup, but make a backup of you're rom before you start removing, so I would just freeze the app in TB and go from there, also Installing any Rom its better to do it in recovery then it is to use Rom Manager, you will need Rom Manager to flash the recovery but other then that, most people use recovery to install Roms, I am not sure about the Rom, I use 2.2.1 still but theres alot of info on Roms here, just do a search or go here myTouch 4G Android Development
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Also, you should seriously consider flashing the engineering bootloader...makes life much easier in the case of a soft brick...

EDIT: Just saw the last part of the question...I am on RoyalGinger and get amazing battery life...no need to overclock because it is fast and smooth right out the gate. Battery life cannot be judged within the first couple days of running the ROM...make sure to calibrate your battery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fionalindberg:
thanks for the responses, this is going to be exciting. Like I said, not messing with my Nexus S, but wanted to try different ROMs on the mytouch 4G.

Re: >>>Also, you should seriously consider flashing the engineering bootloader...makes life much easier in the case of a soft brick...<<<

please can you point me to the xda link with instructions to do this.

Re: using Recovery mode to install ROMs, please can you also send me that xda link. Is it similar to running manual updates on the Nexus S? I do that in recovery mode. I copy the zip to the root of the sdcard and run install from recovery mode.

My husband thinks I'm crazy, but jokes that my "mobile tinkering" is cheaper than if I were interested in jewelry ;-)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
1. you can only freeze apps on the stock rom you cant uninstall them even if your rooted. you'd have to download a bloatware removed MT4G rom there are a few floating around. (basically the stock rom with a the bloat removed and zip-aligned.

2. Rom manager is an ok way of installing roms but your best is to use rom manager to boot into recovery and install the roms from there. luckily its pretty easy from CWM 3.0.2.4.

3. it seems like for your case the 2.3.3 sense roms would work the best since they are more business oriented. though there arent any right now that are running super stable. though there was a leak today of thw 2.6.35 kernel which should bring about new stuff for all the GB sense roms soon. otherwise CM7 works really well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fionalindberg:
A few follow-on questions. I want to understand where I'm at before I proceed with installing ROMs.

So, I've been running numerous speed-tests post-root. Wow, horrible. Averaging 2 mbps down, about 1 mbps up. I admit its been a few months since I used the MT4G since I got the Nexus S, but I'm routinely getting 3-5 mbps down and 1-1.5 mbps up on the NS and that's only a 3G phone. However, I do know 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 both patched the radio so maybe that is partly why it's better than the MT4G

Any chance anything in the root process could have impacted the radio? It's actually been on Edge a few times this afternoon too.

Conversely, any ROMs that patch the radio and improve speeds?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
on the MT4g the radio hasnt really been touched at all by the forums. i only noticed today that we had a choice between 3 different radios. those havent been tested so we dont know what the pluses and negatives are yet. though i can tell you that your speed will vary. where i am i get about 4 mbps on a normal basis though maybe a bit less depending on signal. i also want to ask what speed tester your using. if your using speedtest.net then i suggest you try something else cause you might want a secondary source to test from.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fionalindberg:
Installed RoyalGinger 1.06. Loving it so far. Will see how it goes at the office without charging it during the day. I installed it about 8 hours ago and batt life seems much better than native espresso from TMO. I even streamed music from Amazon cloud player for about an hour and batt barely budged. Still a bit concerned about the radios but I'll retest speeds from the office where I usually get better speeds. I did get a few download speeds of 4mbps but upload still worse than Nexus S. Not even getting 1 mbps upload!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I am now on my 2nd full charge. Drained completely and full charge while off. I have the battery calibration app and i use it. Im about to take my phone off the charger and put it to work.

How many times did you calibrate your battery before you got the full potential of it. I see some people are getting as much as 30+ hrs on their device while im getting 7-9 on moderate use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I've never done that. Always read that draining lithium-ion batteries hurts the battery if done repeatedly. Instead I just charge to full then delete battery stats in clockworkrecovery. Battery has been great ever since that and a factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Ill keep it till tues/wed and see what happens. If I don't see improvement ill exchange once again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
What does deleting the battery stats via ClockWork do? Do you delete them on each charge?

I was getting great battery life and then I used the calibration software and I'm getting good, but slightly less great battery life. Does uninstalling/freezing that app do anything or once it's calibrated, it's done?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
The phone has a dual-core processor, and the best GPU you can get in a phone these days, so you can't expect it to get super battery life unless you never use the phone much. I did the calibration once, and have been able to go all day under moderate to heavy use. All day being 8am-7pm and still having ~20% charge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] efrem989:
Sadly my first g2x that I received wasn't able to go through more than 4 hours of standard use even after fully charged the 2nd time. I sent it in last Friday for exchange and now I'm waiting for the 2nd g2x to be send to me. Well see how it goes by then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
@himmelhauk - I noticed in your signature that you have the Paul O'Brien fix... I saw in that thread that that noticeably increased speed/smoothness, but I haven't heard anybody talk about its influence on their battery. Have you noticed a difference in your battery life after making that tweak?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
Me

I only calibrated once, and that plus some other simple tweaks i saw great results. I usually get about 20+ hours of medium use(A few calls, non-stop texting, occasional game or youtube video, and checking email every couple of hours). If you want to see what I did you can click the link in my sig.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
it gets rid of the battery information stored within the os so that the phone reads the battery charge correctly. this was common practice for vibrant owners after flashing a new ROM. I've seen people saying that this phone has horrid battery drivers so I dunno how that will effect the battery stats but after a factory reset and deleting the stats my battery is double what I was getting on my vibrant.

I only do this after flashing a new ROM or in this case upon getting and setting the phone up. I would do it again if I swapped the battery for a different one also. just charge to 100%, reboot into clockwork, advanced menu, wipe battery stats, done. it DOES NOT increase battery life. it only allows the phone to read the battery more accurately which would keep the phone from thinking its dying when it still has considerable charge left. that's why you hear about people seeing their battery life read 1% yet the phone last for hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I only calibrated once because I realized the values were off a bit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Tried every battery trick in the book. If you actually want to use the phone, nothing will help. Android is a battery eating nightmare. Hopefully one day the platform will mature so adults can use it as a business phone. I think I am returning mine or giving it to my kid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbowens:
I did a single calibration and am now seeing 20+ hours with decent usage. Fully charge the battery, use battery calibration app to erase settings, let it drain till it shuts itself off, try pressing the power button to make sure there's no remaining charge, then fully charge to 100% with the phone still off (you can tap the power button while its plugged in and off to briefly bring up a battery indicator on the screen with out actually powering up). Its true that lithium ion batteries last longer if they don't go through fully discharge cycles, but thats referring to repeated occurances, not a rare or occasional situation. And when calibrating, draining from 100 to 0 is the best method of getting a good calibration. Additionally, while its healthy to do the mid charges most of the time, about once a month or so you should do a full drain. This helps keep the calibration accurate (remember that android will continue to modify the file, albeit at a greatly reduced level after the initial discharge of a new calibration, hence why that occasional full discharge is valuable). A full discharge once a month won't significantly reduce your battery's life expectancy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Draining a li-ion battery past the safe shut off is an easy way to damage or completely kill the battery. Your phone is set to shutdown before complete discharge for this reason. The full discharge then charge method was for NiCd batteries. This has no use for lithium-ion batteries.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbowens:
True, but the method of attempting to power back up won't actually drain it past the safe point. The point is bad calibrations (either from the factory or by an incomplete calibration) can cause the OS to shut the phone down prematurely during your new calibration run (before the actual safe cut off), resulting in the calibration being off scale. When you attempt to power the phone back on, if it is at the true safety cut off, it won't reactivate, where as if the calibration from before was skewed, it will allow it to boot back up and finish draining down to the safety cut off. This is in line with the reports of people having incorrect readings on battery %, where they have a low number, reset the phone, and suddenly seem to jump up 10 or 20%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
I honestly don't know if it made any difference on battery life, as I did the battery calibration before I installed the fix. At any rate, I get much better battery life after the calibration for certain.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I dunno about this phone but I know the galaxy s can still be powered on after the safe shut off and drained completely. People were doing exactly that and messing their batteries up. I would hate for people to misunderstand your post and end up making the same mistake. So the LG doesnt let you power on after the safe shutdown unless its connected to a charger? If so thats pretty good. In any case its a lot easy to just use clockwork, terminal emulator, or any other app to delete battery stats once your charged to 100%. No need to drain first :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbowens:
I hadn't heard about the Galaxy S phones having that issue. Like I said, I came from the Eris and this method was the way to go with that phone, so perhaps its a manufacturer dependent function. In any case, I agree that the cwm method is better, but I meant my post to be accessable by those who may not have taken that particular plunge yet, since it only requires root. Thanks for the info though; its good to know in advanced that the safety shut off being unavoidable isn't a guarentee on all phones (though frankly it should be).

EDIT: Not sure if I'm reading it wrong, but it sounds like you thought I meant to drain the battery before calibrating, which isn't true; all you need to do precalibration is have the charge at 100%. The only time I was suggesting to drain it is during the actual calibration run, so that Android has a full scale of your battery's range. If thats not what you meant, than ignore this edit. Just wanted to make sure I was explaining myself correctly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andonnguyen:
Also, if you open your battery cover and look at the battery, it's not suppose to go above 40 degrees celsius, or 104 degrees fahrenheit. I found that the temperature often goes past this, especially when watching movies for extended periods of time, or playing games, which leads to a significant decrease in battery life because heat and li-ion batteries are not a good combination.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
You can use SetCPU to make a profile according to battery temperature and underclock it when it gets to 40 degrees or something. I have profiles for when the screen is off and for temperature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:

Did you mean actually just pressing the power button or try turning it back on(holding it)?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lobsterhead:
