Yea... like totalimmortal said... it's not reporting your model number, it's reporting your IMEI number, which is completely different, and probably not legal to change/spoof.

[HTC Sensation] Dr.Mcq:
I'm seriously thinking of pre-ordering the sensation. but is there that much of performance difference between the nexus s & the sensation that i can notice in real life?

I'm talking performance only (not build quality- not screen res... only performance)

Is it worth selling the nexus s for the hrc sensation?
[HTC Sensation] Cheeze[iT]:
Um waiting to see if it has wifi calling.
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
US version have WiFi calling.
[HTC Sensation] LadFromWales85:
What is WiFi calling? Is it a T-Mobile specific thing?

It certainly has the ability to use SIP, I have it set up and have made/received a few calls with it.
[HTC Sensation] xboarder56:
yes t-mobile app that you can use to call over wifi when you have no cell phone service at your location
[HTC Sensation] epsix:
WiFi calling is when you don't have a strong signal or live in the boons or in your basement that has no signal. You can connect to your wifi to make and recieve calls.
[HTC Sensation] LadFromWales85:
Sounds like a cool feature...I wouldn't mind it, but I use a Vodafone Suresignal at home...never needed one before I got a HTC. Reception isn't stellar at home on Vodafone, but it's only been a problem on my HTC Nexus, Desire, Desire Z, Desire HD, and now the Sensation...all HTC's have a common trait, the cell antenna is in the lower end of the phone. Holding the phone like a phone covers the antenna and lowers reception.

I couldn't get a Galaxy S to drop the network at all in my home...but then it's made of plastic, perhaps the same reason the Xperia X10 and Arc also work fine in my house

I can't win!
[HTC Sensation] edcmeister:

What I want to know is if it will have the choice to be able to tether? Does anyone know if the senation is capable of doing so?
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
IMHO, the beautiful qHD screen would be worth the upgrade alone.

In "Settings > Wireless & Networks" there is a "USB tethering" option.
[HTC Sensation] jgarza1004:
ok very good thats all i wanted to know, just wanted to make sure that it was given the option to tether off of the phone!
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
If you are asking about the US version then I am not sure if it will have tethering option. I just hope Tmous will not take the advantage of locked bootloaders to disable tethering and fill up the device with bloatware.
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
What about wifi tether?
[HTC Sensation] jgarza1004:
yeah thats the version im wondering about, because on my vibrant right now im able to and if im not able to do so on the sensation taht might be the deal breaker for me.

1. Latitude : If you are logged in, it will update your location every few minutes. This will make a phone that should be on a very low power state, re-enable lots of things that suck power. (5hrs)

2. Home screen weather clocks : Just change the update interval to something more like every 3 hours and it won't kill your battery as quick. Make sure you don't have it use GPS for location. If you don't mind, set the location to be static. (1hr)

3. Chat programs that don't rely on push. If the program needs to keep your data connection alive, it will kill your battery.(1-5hrs)

4. Anything that will update automatically. The craigslist app for example will poll the site for changes, waking the connection and the processor each time.(1-5hrs)

5. Bluetooth. : I know it isn't an app, but if you aren't using it, don't have it on. It takes enough power to eat a few hours of battery life. Pretty major. (3hrs)

6. Leave 4G on. : This might not work for everyone, but when 4G is asleep, it doesn't seem to suck juice the same way 3G does. My EVO dies quick on 4G, my Epic battery lasts longer on 4G. (as long as you are in a 4G area). (3hrs)

Disable these things and you should get battery life that you hear others bragging about.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smintz:
So its normal i only have roughly 600 mb left. Ok thx a lot.

Can you help me with another problem.?

I read somewhere that you don't need a task killer. I have always used one to get back to like 500mb. Now you tell me unused ram is wasted ram. I installed autokiller after some advice and opened some games and stuff. Later i was at 154 unused ram. After 2 hours standby i was at 237mb unused ram. Would i ever get back to 400+ ? And is it really better or at least soesnt matter for battery life?

Thx for help
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
I found that to be true (not needing a task killer) but only under Gingerbread (I've noticed that since I upgraded my Nexus One to Gingerbread), but on FroYo that's not really the case, or so I've noitced.

However I found that the task killer included on the Atrix works really well (much better than any other on the Market). It's just a matter of selecting the apps that you don't want to auto close and that's it. The battery last a bit longer and the device does not heat up at all.

Cheers!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
Heres how I see it.

On your computer, you're always scrambling for more ram right? Because you are running multiple applications at once. You have a music player, a game, chat, windows itself, antivirus etc.

On your phone, it depends more on your processor speed. You arent multitasking like crazy (and if you are your phone would start to heat up really rapidly) Android allocates ram accordingly to what you are running in the foreground and apps that arent open but were opened recently. That way, if you reopen a recently closed app, it is still in memory and will open quicker. If you don't access the closed app after a while, it will clear itself from memory. You definitely don't need a task killer for android, only more processing speed.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grncivic2001:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:

[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
This thread is to discuss details regarding Dalvik VM, creating odex files (Odexing), Deodexing,

A problem I came across while making my Rom was that while using a Data2SD (Sibere's) partition on ext, clearing the dalvik-cache in recovery would result in a bootloop. The logcat showed that system was searching for the dalvik-cache and looping.

To solve this, a solution would be clear dalvik-cache and recreate an optimized dex file. Or another way that comes to mind is to odex the system altogether. While searching for resources on these, I found that a full collection of resources esp description with scripts was not available.

Some information that I've managed to glean about dexes/odexes so far..

Generic script to odex an apk:

dexopt-wrapper appname.apk[or jar] appname.odex $BOOTCLASSPATH

where $BOOTCLASSPATH is specified in init.rc

For the HTC Desire running a Froyo Sense build,

$BOOTCLASSPATH=/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.framework.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.pimlib.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.easopen.jar:/system/framework/com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar

Script to odex Framework jars:

for i in /system/framework/*.jar
do
odex=`echo $i | sed -e 's/.jar/.odex/g'`
echo "dexopt-wrapper $i $odex"
dexopt-wrapper $i $odex
done

Script to odex apks in /system/app and /data/app

for i in /system/app/*.apk
do
odex=`echo $i | sed -e 's/.apk/.odex/g'`
echo "dexopt-wrapper $i $odex"
dexopt-wrapper $i $odex
done
for i in /data/app/*.apk
do
odex=`echo $i | sed -e 's/.apk/.odex/g'`
echo "dexopt-wrapper $i $odex"
dexopt-wrapper $i $odex
done

A few useful links to more information on Dalvik Optimization:

http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/dalvik/docs/dexopt.html

Credits:

dsixda (Android Kitchen author), for his deodexing script (do_deodex) included below

I have a few queries regarding these:

What is the difference between a Dex and Odex file (I know dex is optimized odex, but what actual steps are being done to the odex file to make it a dex, and can we script those steps to execute in recovery?)

At what step in Rom install are the dexes created? If it's init.rc that creates these, can we redo these steps in recovery?

Can anyone provide the code to make a Dex file (Not an odex file)
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
What the preoptimization process does is basically pre binding methods to the framework, replacing some object methods with available native equivalents and pre computing a hash table for faster class name lookup.

That means that every time a the framework dexes change, all other dex files have to be remade using the new available framework.

If you want to create odex files in recovery, there's an easy way and actually I did this already for the old old CM6 nightlies (before we had custom partition tables).

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7153269&postcount=200

I took kalis script, packaged it into a flashable zip file and made the script run on flash.

It'll most likely not work with newer ROMs because of missing framework files specified in the BOOTCLASSPATH variable in the script.

Also something useful to add would be removing the classes.dex file from the package after the optimization finished. There must be a zip binary floating around on the interwebs which allows removal of zip file entries using the '-d' argument.

There's no need to manually create dex files as they are stored inside the apks, just being semi-optimized for the specific platform and architecture on installation.

For everything else there's the deodex stuff.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Thanks.. I'm wondering if the steps of semi optimization can be performed manually. While removing the dalvik-cache stored on ext, the system seems to fail to reload them.. If the odex can be converted to dex, that would be solved.

For Android market, I've tried just renaming Vending.odex as Vending.dex and it worked. But for most other apps, the optimization seemed more..System seems to do the optimization with the binary dexopt, at runtime. On executing it manually at recovery, it gives the msg that it shouldnt be executed.. However if the binary is opened as text, some strings which show arguments can be seen. So it does take arguments, and can be executed:

DexOptZ: unable to open zip archive '%s'
DexOptZ: unable to open zip archive '%s'
DexOptZ: zip archive '%s' does not include %s
DexOptZ: zip archive GetEntryInfo failed on %s
DexOptZ: extraction of %s from %s failed

Optimization failed
Wrong number of args for --zip (found %d)
%s '%s'bad zip fdbad cache fd BOOTCLASSPATHDexOptZ: BOOTCLASSPATH not set
DexOptZ: truncated BOOTCLASSPATH to '%s'
Not enough arguments for --dex (found %d)
bad vm buildDexOpt: build rev does not match VM: %d vs %d
bad fdbad offsetbad length bad modWhen bad crc bad flags dexopt--zip--dexUsage: don't use this

So if anyone has the aosp source code, the arguments could be retrieved..

If dexopt cant be executed in this way, can dexopt-wrapper create dexes?
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
There is really no need to manually create dex files from the packages, they're recreated when needed.

The only logical reason I can think of is when the second partition is not mounted when creating the dexes, resulting in a faulty symlink, bind mount or wrong permissions.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes, that is the reason. :)

See the adb logcat after a dalvik-cache wipe (dalvik was on ext4)

--------- beginning of /dev/log/system

etc...
--------- beginning of /dev/log/main

I/dalvikvm( 2046): Unable to open or create cache for /system/framework/com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar (/data/dalvik-cache/system@framework@com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar@classes.dex)

D/dalvikvm( 2046): Unable to process classpath element '/system/framework/com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar'

E/dalvikvm( 2046): ERROR: no valid entries found in bootclasspath '/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.framework.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.pimlib.jar:/system/framework/com.htc.android.easopen.jar:/system/framework/com.scalado.util.ScaladoUtil.jar'

E/keystore( 2054): chdir: /data/misc/keystore: No such file or directory

D/AndroidRuntime( 2053):

Ext4 was to be mounted by the busybox runparts procedure..

However it seems that when there is a missing dalvik-cache, the bootloop is before the busybox runparts is invoked?
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
Check if the runparts invokation is correct in the init.rc script on the ramdisk (correct order).

Also keep in mind that ext4 depends on external kernel modules on non-AOSP kernels, when the dalvik-cache wants to be created before the module has been loaded, then there is a logical reason for this. And without the kernel module there is no mounting of ext4 partitions (again, Sense kernels only).
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
The order seems to be correct..(My init.rc)

The kernel is a custom kernel based on the original Sense kernel, but with internal ext4 support added (no external ext4 module needed)

I dont see a dexopt command in init.rc however, and was wondering where this command kicks in..
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
The checks and dex optimization/creation start with the launch of the zygote process which in turn should start the dalvik vm.
[Desire Android Development] old.ghost:
great tool, thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Is there a way to force it to run at boot? If app dexes are missing, system re creates them. But not so for system dexes
[Desire Android Development] beidl:
It recreates EVERY missing dex file. If it does not, there must be something different than the dalvik vm be totally ****ed up.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
same problems here...anyone have a progress..?!?

-Use multipicture live wallpaper from market! To apply the Wallpapers has nice transitions! and the newest version has a galaxy tab option which seems to speed it up and make it smooth!

-Using desktop visualizer you can place them over the tabs with a blank png as the icon!

-For the app drawer i use the launcher pro draw icon! (See Pic)

- The weather and battery widgets are minimalistic text app from the market (I placed my minimalistic preferences in the zip. So place the folder on the root of your SD Card. And when you open the app up just go to restore at the bottom!)

-The wifi on/off is my own and in the zip just install with apkinstaller or somrthing like that!
