[Thunderbolt General] awtenterprise:
Well, my first Thunderbolt is officially going back home.

I was the proud recipient of a Thunderbolt on release day. For the first 14 days I was able to put up with terrible battery life, tons of bloat and stock Sense. After my first 14 days I decided to Root it. I have ridden a whirlwind of Roms and Kernels for the better part of 2 months. I have dabbled in all of the CM7 releases and tried a couple of other Roms including my own sad attempt at a de-bloat. I have found myself fond of the TeslaCoil Rom and Imoseyon Kernels. Battery life is now a non issue, the bloat is gone along with most of sense. The phone is very smooth and fast thanks to a 1.92x supercharge.

However, today I had my first major fault. I was talking to my better half (read : wife) during break at work this morning and like someone flicked a switch the phone went to static. By static, I mean you could barley hear the other person over it and they could not hear me at all. I switched from 4G to 3G, slowly backed down to the previous Kernel, then reloaded my last backup. From there I flashed a new, fresh Rom. Every time the problem persisted. By the time I got home all seemed lost. I pulled up the trusty XDA site and began reading the return to stock page. After about 10 min I had a factory fresh Thunderbolt in my hand. All evidence of my last two months of crack flashing and fast running phone were gone. I place the test call and DAMN, it's still jacked. Off to the local VZW store and they ordered me a new refurb phone. I did everything except assault the nice girl behind the counter in attempt to get a new unit. I was told that I would have had to do the $100 dollar claim to walk out with a new one. So now I wait until Wednesday to get a working phone.

On a side note. The heavy static heard in the ear piece is not present through the speaker phone to me, just the person on the other end. I also found that if I "flick" the microphone on the bottom of the phone while in use the static will stop for like 1 to 2 seconds. I can only assume there is some sort of short internally in relation to the microphone. Also I can assure you that I have not dropped the phone "yet."

I will cruise back here on Wednesday night on my freshly Rooted, refurb Thunderbolt and update.

If you made it this far, thanks for letting me rant.

[Thunderbolt General] nerozehl:
Dude, that would totally piss me off that they would give you a refurb phone due to a warranty issue. I mean, the $100 deductible is for lost/damaged phones, not for phones that the manufacturer jacked up.
[Thunderbolt General] awtenterprise:
Wow, half day into the sock setup and I already have to recharge. I can't believe Verizon sells this crap.

AdamT
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Takes a day or two before your battery gets going.
[Thunderbolt General] awtenterprise:
Well, I got my fancy new reman unit. First thing I noticed is the light leakage others have complaind about. Poor build quality compared to my original. That sucks. I was also lucky enough to get one of the phones that reboot randomly and can't handle the exreem under volting.

The replacement is definitely less of a unit then my first one. At least I can make calls.

I have had more lockups and reboots in one day then the month and a half I had the other one.

I will give it a day or two and se how it settles.

[Thunderbolt General] dbisch:
I would ***** until I got a new unit and not a refurbished. That's bull****.
[Thunderbolt General] mbh87:
They will keep sending you refurbs. Happened to me with my Droid X, went through 4 refurbs before I gave up and just sold it. I called a **** ton of times, talked to managers, etc.
[Thunderbolt General] dadsterflip:
same here. i just got my refurb one and im disappointed..... the screen on the top right corner feels like someone didn't tighten up the screw and i can push it in and out. the color sucks! not as bright as my old one and has a dull brownish color to it. just really pissed off. i loved my new one but it went to poop. thought htc makes quality phone? my droid x was a much better quality but damn lock bootloader.
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
I am using Continuum 5.4 and the touchwiz launcher that came with it. I can't seem to edit the items on the dock though. Is there a trick to doing it? I tried holding down on the icons but it didnt move anything or give me the option to delete it.

Am I missing something?
[Captivate General] Dani897:
lol it's not an iphone. nor is it launcher pro.it is the same as tw3 and the sony launcher on the arc which is definately a little too similar to tw4.

open the app drawer>press menu soft key>select edit
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
I know its not an iphone I never said it was, i just wanted to know how to edit it.

Thanks though!
[Captivate General] Dr Triffid:
And if "Edit" doesn't show up, click the "View Type" option and change it to "Customizable grid." In that option, you should be able to slide apps into and out of the TW dock. Just change the view back to "Alphabetical grid" when you're done.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
That is TouchWiz 3. The GB ROMs sporting TouchWiz 4 do it different. Plus there is no way within TW4 to alphabetize your apps. The only way I found for that is appsorter in the market. TW4 is great, but I hope the little things like this are fixed in the official build that will eventually get ported by devs, months ahead of att even acknowledging GB exists.

As previously mentioned, in the app drawer press menu then edit and just drag them to the place you want in the dock.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlanrat:
Hello,

Ever since switching to Cyanogenmod, when listening to music using the stock player, Pandora, or Winamp, the music will randomly pause. The players seem to act as if they received a pause signal (eg: headphones unplugged), This issue occurs with headphones plugged in, external speakers, or using the phone's built in speaker. I'm not sure what is causing this but is there a fix? I'm hoping that there is just some setting I messed up.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm fairly new to forums and i have just bought an android cause i know eventually they will replace Iphones. basically i am just asking for advice like what are the benefits of jailbreaking the android?

also i want to know how to enhance the power of the flashlight, ive seen it done before and cant seem to work it out.

another thing is ive seen someone play playstation games through the phone, im guessing its some emulator but any help on this would be great.

and one last thing how to use the phone to manage and view my PC.

any help on any of this would be really appreciate

thanks in advance :)

Can anyone show me how to enable in-call softkey function??? During call, my display is off and cannot use softkey, if there is an extension number, I have to wait until operator pick up or even cannot see which number is calling via call waiting function.

My ROM is original HTC ROM, don't ask me to load cooked ROM :)

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tictac0566:
Did it ever work before?

This is the standard:

The display turns off once you put your device close to your ear.

Moving away again should turn back on the screen.

Now there are 2 possible issues:

1) The sensor is malfunctioning

2) The driver/system is malfunctioning

Since you don´t mention if the problem arose after you did something, one cannot offer you better help. Maybe you already tried a hard or a soft reset?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duongtm:
Thanks tictac,

I did upgrade firmware and problem temporary solved :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingman1659:
I just received my Nexus S from sprint and, as I always do, I had on had an invisible shield (this time from bestskinsever). But when I went to put on the back part the power button placement was off by quite a bit.

Is this happening to others using this type of protection?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netarchy:
I believe the ns4g is slightly thicker than the gsm nexus-s.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rougegoat:
The thickness of the Nexus S 4G is slightly greater than the regular Nexus S due to the addition of a 4G radio.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
its by .3 millimeters, shouldnt make that much of a difference..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tildog:
Put invisa shild on mine at a kiosk h

It went on and he didny even know sprint came out with a ns4g
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingman1659:
Yes I know its thinker but that shouldnt mean the power button is in a different place on the skin. It should only make the edges of the skin not go to the edge of the phone.

So if I'm correct one person has an invisible shield that fit it perfectly? Mine presumably is a defect?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingman1659:
Update on my behalf. BestSkinsEver told me they had a cutting error on a few days worth of orders. They have since sent me a free replacement and ill update on the fit once its here.

[G Tablet General] cesar33:
GUIMark 2.0

Latest GUIMark takes advantage for Flash 10 and HTML 5, even better you don't need Flash to render results so I was able to add Firefox 4 to the mix.

Viewsonic G Tablet running CM7 flash 10.2, Gingerbread vs Motorola Droid X Froyo

Viewsonic G Tablet browser:

HTML5 | Flash scores are fps

Skyfire 1.68 | 11.1

xScope 1.69 | 13.22

Dolphin 1.68 | 13.57

Miren 1.72 | 13.98

Browser 1.74 | 13.67

Firefox 3.04 | wnr

Opera 8.13 | 11.26

Again Opera takes a title, if Firefox gets Flash working it will start contending better. All other browsers tied on HTML5. Flash 10 shows 3 similar scores on the top end and lower end. Browser looking good on Flash 10.

Motorola Droid X Froyo

Miren 1.41 | 6.7

Dolphin 1.64 | 6.94

Browser 1.62 | 8.62

Skyfire 1.68 | 12.71

xScope 1.67 | 13.37

Firefox 2.68 | wnr

Opera 3.78 | 11.88

Conclusive evidence that gaming Flash 10 on G tablet is the way to go. Dual core Nvidia Tegra Rocks at a blister 13.5 fps on half the web browsers. :D
[G Tablet General] Idomeneus:
Great info! Thanks
[G Tablet General] cookiepuss:
Interesting info. I like the small size of Opera but find it does some weird behavior on certain sites.

Dolphin is currently my "default" but Opera is much more clean UI.
[G Tablet General] cesar33:
I've noticed the same thing, Opera can be pretty finicky on the web. I want to make it my default browser, its a great desktop browser, full support for major platforms, great set of features. Just has to get bugs figured out. It was the default browser on my Nokia 770 back from 2005, one of the first great tablets.

I'm stuck between

Opera Mobile

Dolphin HD

Browser

but really want Firefox to mature and join the club of Flash supported mobile browsers. Long overdue.

Desired AOSP

Features:

-True AOSP experience as Google intended it (NOT based on CM7)

-MDJ's V14 2.6.35.13 kernel (huge thanks to him for all of his work on this)

-Rooted

-Busybox

-Fully deodexed and zipaligned

-Png optimized framework

-Nexus S boot animation, live wallpaper, ringtones, and notification sounds

-A few basic Google apps are included: Car Home, Gmail, Maps, Search, Talk, Voice Search, and YouTube

-English and Spanish languages only for now

----Full wipe required----

update-desired-aosp-RC1-full.zip (75MB)

Tips:

1. It won't feel super smooth for the first few minutes because it's indexing your media and (if you log in to your Google account) pulling down backed up data. After it finishes that though... ;)

2. For quicker GPS locks, you may want to go to Settings > "Location & security" and enable "Use wireless networks."

3. If you want to overclock, 1.38GHz with interactive gov is working great for me. I don't recommend going above 1.5GHz.

4. If you want to try another kernel, you'll DEFINITELY want to make a backup first! CM7 kernels probably won't work. Some Gingerbread Sense kernels will work.

5. If the power control widget is acting a little odd after flashing, try rebooting.

Rules of Desired AOSP:

1. Do NOT ask for CM7 features! If you want CM7 features, run CM7.

2. I might add a few addons at some point, but don't ask me to include more features than are already there. This ROM is for people who want a completely stock Android experience as Google intended it.

I do this for fun so you shouldn't feel any obligation to donate, but here's a link if you want to. Donations of any amount are very much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Definetly what I was looking for... but only one question mark.

What's your opinion about battery drain?

Until weekend I have no time to flash it...

Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] eliashadow:
I havent this rom in my phone but i think there is no problem with battery life.Its not cm7 and the sense is out.If u want to using and a custom kernel with undervolt like Lee's, the battery life will by the best all around in my opinion...
[Desire HD Android Development] Jorgitosms:
Hi,

Thanks for that info.

As far as I know, the main problem with battery drain comes from a special DSP chip, which library is not included in AOSP. That´s why some weeks ago CM7 drain was crazy (this chip was always ON) and Sense based ROMs drain was better (this chip was ON only when needed).

If someone has tested this ROM, a feedback would be appreciated. If no feedback I hope on Sunday I could inform you.

Regards

[Desire HD Android Development] alexmason14:
Will Lordmods latest kernel work on this? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055020) As it now supports all AOSP roms. Also are you going to update this to 2.3.4 as at the moment your rom is 2.3.3.
[Desire HD Android Development] gtg465x:
That kernel probably won't work because it's designed for CM7 based ROMs. I'll probably update to 2.3.4 but what's the rush? 2.3.4 only adds video calling for phones with front facing cameras and we don't have one.
[Desire HD Android Development] alexmason14:
Because it also hosts many bug fixes and optimizations. Not just the ability of video calling. I am going to update to MDJs latest kernel, v15. Which you should replace with the outdated v14 in your rom.
