[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naiw:
Had the same issue, the dock reported 0% and charging- connected the dock to a regular usb charger for a minute switched back to the asus charger and voila it reported 56% and kept charging.

Sounds like a firmware issue to me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Alright, now I know this question has almost certainly been asked before, but before you start raging at me, I have spent a good few hours looking around on here and other places, but I haven't found all of the information I'd like. Also, I find that people giving you their personal experience directly is more helpful anyway. :)

So, I got given a G1 the other day, and immediately started thinking about modding and rooting it, etc. The stock 1.6 was alright, but it wasn't too snappy and I wanted to try out different versions anyway. So I went ahead and:

Rooted my phone

Installed Amon_Ra's Recovery Image v.1.7.0

Flashed the radio to 2.22.19.26i

Installed DangerSPL

After I'd done all that, I went ahead and installed CyanogenMod 5, to try out 2.1 first. It seemed OK, but it was definitely slower than 1.6 by a fair amount. I then flashed to CM 6 and found it to be quicker, but still too slow for my liking. So I flashed to CM 4 instead, which was definitely more like it. I don't actually find myself missing many features from Android 2.0+ if I'm honest, but the OS STILL isn't as fast as I'd like. I know I can get it quicker.

I've removed all of the apps that I don't use (including some of the Google ones - I forgot to mention that I installed Google Apps too) to help free up some of the internal memory. I have a Kingston 4GB class 4 microSDHC card, but I understand that running apps from the SD card is going to be slower than from the internal ROM, so I'd rather keep all the apps on there.

I bought SetCPU, but I can't figure out how to configure it properly. The maximum speed I can set the CPU to is 528MHz, which is stock speed. :confused:

I'm using the stock launcher (which seems to have inserted 5 home screens - I only need 3) because I don't know if ADW Launcher or LauncherPro will be quicker. I have a few widgets and shortcuts, but not a ton. I use Opera Mini for browsing as I found Opera Mobile to be too slow when scrolling about and so on, and the stock browser to be even slower.

So basically my question is this: what things have you guys done to speed up your G1?

One thing I should mention is that I'm fine with most of the features of 1.6, but obviously I will upgrade to a later version of Android if there is a ROM/configuration that will be nice and snappy.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the very long post. :o
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netterharrison:
if you are italian, there is a rom called padronfroyo that i find it the fastest one!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I am British though. :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxamillion:
Try froyo by lazlo, very fast and stable rom.

Try overclocking to 576 mhz in the rom performance settings. Also, try tweaking the performance settings(compcache, jit, vm heap size, etc) until you find the fastest ones. I also use an app called cache cleaner to remove all the cache on my phone from the browser and such. I also use sdext to install apps on my sd and run them from there as well.Personally, I use adw ex because it has all the cool features and it is amazingly fast. I'm currently using cos-ds gingerbread and my phone is snappy as hell. But in your case try froyo by lazlo, in the g1 development forum.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
im using a donut rom with the latest radio and it flyyys
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll try Froyo by Lazlo first, but how would I go about switching? Nandroid will backup my current ROM right? And then I will need to backup my apps with Titanium Backup or similar, and my contacts, etc.

When I wipe the system using the recovery, which options do I use? Because I remember there are several options for what you can wipe, but I'm not sure which ones I need to use.

And then I can just go ahead and flash the ROM using "flash zip from SD card" or whatever the option is called?

EDIT: Oh, and what's this about the SPL and the radio? I have DangerSPL installed and the radio is 2.22.19.26i
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
you wont be able to flash froyo by lazslo on that radio.. you need 2.22.27.09/28.25 and hboot 1.33.0013d

and if you have your apps saves to the ext partition of your sd than nandroid will back it up, or just do a bart backup!

when you install a new rom you want to wipe all data!! ALL DATA!! lol wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, sd partition, etc.. be sure to repair sd also.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
OK. Well, I think everything's backed up now.

When I choose to wipe SD:ext partition though, will that wipe all the data on my SD or just the ext folder or something? What does the ext folder even contain?

Which radio would I need for a UK G1? Or how do I find out which one I need? And how do I flash the radio and hboot?

Thanks :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azrash:
Best way to wipe for a clean install is using Ohsaka's Superwipe here Wiping sd:ext affects the ext partition only. If you are using appstoext, or magpie, you can store apps on ext.

The latest radio is 2825. Flashing radio and hboot is best done through fastboot,lower chances of bricking, much2 safer than flashing em through recovery. The guide on how to flash the radio and hboot is at my signature, try to read the instruction a few times and fully understand it before you start flashing, gluck! :D

Sent from my G1
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Excellent, thanks.

I still have a couple of questions though. :rolleyes:

Do I need to flash the recovery image? The version in that thread is recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img, and I think mine is the same (it's definitely v1.7.0) just without the "cyan" bit on the end.

I'm a bit confused as to what radio I need to use. I'm in the UK, using a UK G1, and I thought I needed a different radio to US users? Am I using this one?

Or do I use 27.08?

How do I do this?

I can't find a console or anywhere to input the data when in fastboot. I'm currently using 1.33.2005.

Do I wipe everything before flashing the radio and hboot, or in between doing that and installing the new rom?

Cheers

EDIT: Oh, and Froyo by Laszlo says that I need an ext4 partition. Is this on my SD card or on the phone? And how do I create one? Thanks :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azrash:
yes you would still need to flash a recovery. the cyan bit at the end just denotes a cyan themed recovery, the exact same recovery but blue. you can flash the normal amonra 1.7 recovery

use the 2825 radio, it is the latest and works everywhere. remember to follow the guide step by step, do not skip/change the steps, it must be done in order :p

fastboot is done via PC from command prompt, check here for a guide on how to setup fastboot http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

it might seem tedious and long but trust me, it is very useful, you will use it a lot. just do a superwipe after you have upgraded the whole radio+hboot thing. remember to power down first once you have superwiped

ext is in sd card. this is done in recovery, go to partition SD, enter your desired size(depending on your sd card size, 200mb for ext should be enough, im using an 8gb sd card, so i set my ext to 600mb) and once you have partitioned, just select upgrade ext2 to ext3 and then ext3 to ext4. partitioning will erase your entire sd card, so remember to copy the content to your PC first

hope it helps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Even though I already have normal 1.7 installed I need to flash it again?

Gotcha ;)

EDIT: The 28.25 radio is in a zip which contains the .img and a bunch of other stuff as well. Do I just need the img or do I need to dump the whole zip on my SD?

EDIT: ADB and fastboot are now up and running on my system. :)

superwipe = go through all of the options and wipe all of them, I guess?

So when would I do this then? After flashing the radio and SPL and before flashing the ROM, I would imagine?

EDIT: What size would you recommend for a 4GB card?

It did help, and you've been very helpful in all your posts. There's just so much I have to learn. :p
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxamillion:
No if you already have Amon Ra 1.7 recovery on your phone then you dont have to reflash it. But if you want to reflash it, it wont hurt to do so.

No just the dump the whole zip file on to your sd card.

superwipe is this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834812&highlight=superwipe

Download version two, and put the whole zip file onto your sd card. You would flash this through the "flash a zip file" option in recovery.

It allows you to wipe everything instantaneously. Make sure to make a Nandroid backup before you flash it though.

Yes you are correct.

*Remember to backup your entire sd card to your computer because it will be entirely wiped out.

These are my recommended partiton sizes:

It's best if you dont get swap, i find it slow,but if you want swap you can repartition it later,so use this:

fat 32: 512 mb (place where apps are stored, should be plenty of room)

swap: 0 mb

then the rest of the memory is saved on to your ext 2 partition

After your done partitioning your sd card, you must upgrade to ext 4.

So, go to upgrade ext2 to ext 3, then once its done, go to upgrade ext3 to ext 4 and then there you are done! You have ext4 on your sd card! :)

*Dont forget to place all the files you backed up onto your computer back onto the sd card because you will need to flash superwipe next, and then your rom.

You can do this by plugging in your phone thru usb to your computer, then choose the option "usb-ms toggle" in recovery,and it will mount the sd card so you can place the files back onto your sd.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Thanks for the reply. :D

When I flash superwipe, does that actually activate it, or do I need to flash it and then go somewhere else to use it? Also, do I need to download SuperWipe.conf as well?

This is what I have now:

Also, as for the radio, it says to enter these commands:

So I guess I will just enter "flash radio update_2.22.28.25_S.zip" instead?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxamillion:
When you flash Superwipe, it unzips the file, and does what it tells it to, which is wipe everything. So you dont need to go anywhere to activate it, when you flash it, you are activating it.

No, you dont need the Superwipe.conf. Thats only if you want to change the things Superwipe will wipe.

You are partioning your sd card through recovery, so you wont need to reboot your phone after your partitioning your sd card just go ahead and place your backedup sd card files back onto ur sdcard.

NOTE:When you are done flashing superwipe, it will tell you to power off ur phone before proceding.So, power off your phone, and then manually power back on to recovery by pressing home + power button at the same time, hold them until phone boots on. Then you are back into recovery and you can flash the Rom.

Yes, you are correct.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Awesome, wish me luck then!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxamillion:
Good Luck! Let me know how it goes. Have fun with your new rom!:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
OK, so I got as far as flashing the recovery image again, which worked fine, and then I tried to flash the new radio, which didn't work fine.

I try typing:

but all I get is:

And now I don't know what to do :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxamillion:
hmm i think its displaying that mesage because its looking to update from the 2708 radio.

My only guess is to try flashing the 2708 radio instead of the 2825 radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
And that will work here in the UK and stuff?

If I'm honest, I don't actually know what the "radio" does, but I hear the word and immediately think of some little chip inside the phone which communicates with the mobile network. :p

EDIT: 2.22.27.08 flashed okay. Now to move on :)

My boyfriend just got a charge today. He left Verizon and tried sending a text but says message failed. He can receive text and calls, but can't text out. Any ideas? He's on way to work so he can't go to store til tomorrow..
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I had the same issue when I first got my Charge. After a little bit, I was able to send text messages just fine. It could be that it isn't fully activated on VZWs system yet. I'd say wait a little bit, maybe an hour or two, and then restart the phone and try again. If that doesn't work, Google Voice will still allow text messages in/out, and you could also use GTalk until it is working.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Mayor:
Should you ever brick your nexus one, you can't power it on or boot into recovery.

Follow these steps:

1. Plug your phone via USB cable to a PC, when the charge light comes on

2. Hold down the trackball, and remove the battery

3. Once the charge light goes off, quickly place the battery back in the phone, this will boot the phone into FASTBOOT Mode

4. With your phone still plug into the computer, open the terminal and verify your computer recognizes your phone: fastboot-windows devices

5. Once your computer recognizes your phone, copy the Amon RA recovery image into a folder, preferably the SDK tools, and type the command to boot your phone into recovery: fastboot-windows boot [name of recovery image].img

6. Once your phone boots into recovery, you can go ahead and wipe everything and reinstall your ROM again.

Note: This is for bricked nexus one phone.

I bricked my phone, i searched for weeks for this solution.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Don_Mayor:
if you install your ROM via superboot folder, you can copy the Amon RA image into the superboot folder on your C drive, and boot your phone into recovery with the same command
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
You only need to remove the battery if your power button is broken. Holding the trackball while powering on is the same as holding the volume down button except they take you to different places.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Exactly. I think people are getting too liberal with the usage of the word bricked. What ever happened to bricked meaning your device cannot be repaired without jtag or sending it in for repair?

Edit: fixed spelling mistakes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:

As many wrote before me, Nexus that boots into fastboot mode (bootloader) isn't a brick to begin with, and this guide doesn't offer anything that the current guides don't have.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Ideally one could never brick a device.. Always a low level bootloader which will accept an update.

Not to say all devices support this or will support it, just would be nice.

[HD2 General] davidshooki:
Can anyone suggest a phone that is comparable (diversity of different operating systems/ROMS, running ROM from the SD card etc...) on the ATT network.

Sadly!!! I need to switch from T mobile to ATT (or in a worse case scenario, to Verizon, due to work and reception problems).

I would love to have my HD2, but it is really not designed for ATT/verizon.

I really liked having the choice to run windows or load android from the SD card!!!

I can keep upgrading to the latest android ROM. Just having the freedom to chose was giving me a blissful feeling that I am going to miss if I can't find a comparable phone.
[HD2 General] ridsco:
You won't find another one like the HD2 for ATT or Verizon. Unless you can find a Telstra HD2 which can then be used for ATT 3G.
[HD2 General] jrdalrymple:
In a way you're lucky. AT&T is the only other carrier where you have this flexibility since the Leo is the only handset with this flexibility.

Search eBay for "t9193" You'll find what you're looking for. You'll also find they're not cheap. I'm going to be getting rid of mine soon as I've settled on Android I don't need that flexibility offered by the Leo anymore. I've moved to the Inspire from the Leo, and while I've grown attached to it, the time is now to move on.

[HD2 General] davidshooki:
I tend to prefer my next phone to be a THC phone. Just because I would expect more consistency between software and I would think that most programs tend to be designed with HTC phones in mind. I had Toshiba phone and a lot of the software never worked well with (accelerometer, video etc...).

Although I am not sure if my assessment is correct, I am being cautious when spending a few hundred dollars on a phone.
[HD2 General] Kailkti:
Okie. Well there's not telling if there's gonna be a sensation with a T&t's 3g bands so Iunno. Plus we don't know if HTC will give an update to unlock the sensation's bootloader. You could try the inspire 4g or a canadian desire z though.

Just to note, if you're paranoid about samsung updating, they're one of the best, if you haven't noticed, comparable to HTC, seeing as how the galaxy s got gingerbread so fast, before HTC even delivered gingerbread to any of their phones.

And read some reviews of it then. Maybe you'll get inspired.

And no, most apps are not designed with HTC in mind, if a developer thought like that, then he'd be in trouble. Most apps are designed to bode with all sorts of phones/processors.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Use titanium backup.

If you have the free version you will be able to unistall infinite view with it.

If you have the paid for version you will be able to "freeze" the app. This makes the phone think that infinite view has been uninstalled but keeps the app on your phone.

This is useful because sometimes uninstalling system apps like infinite view can make other apps FC. If this is the case you can use titanium backup and "defrost" the frozen app back to its original state.

Hope this helps
