[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Moschino02:
might sound a daft question, even.though most procedures to.install wp7 seem to be the same but explained differently, just would like to know which one u found easier? basically im after a very basic noobs guide!.hope someone can assist.i havnt flashed the hd2yet, ive been on many websites some with video tutorials.

i want to do it, but i dont want to screw it up..ive got a tmobile branded hd2 running 3.14 offical Rom. i know i need hspl 4 and 2.08.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Well, if you´re not familiar with flashing, it´s perfectly ok to be careful.

Installing WP7 on HD2 is really simple.

I suggest you download one of the newest builds out there (from May, those include the NoDo update).

Before installing it, you must prepare your HD2:

1) Using HSPL4, install HSPL version 2.08.HSPL

2) If not on your HD2, install Radio ROM 2.15.50.xx

3) Install MAGLDR 1.13

Now, you can go into MAGLDR bootscreen, select "USB flash", connect to the PC, and flash the ROM you downloaded.

That´s about it.

To return to WinMo, if wanted, just flash your stock ROM with the SD card method, everything will be put back to factory settings.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Moschino02:
Wow , thats excellant mate..much appreciated ..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Moschino02:
5) Install Zune

6) Install WP7 SDK

7) Install XAP's

i presume Zune is required to transfer data files ie music&video, are the other two steps neccesary? what do they do..? been reading other post about these but i cant seem to understand sorry

Since I got my hands on Epic 4G optimized dalvikVM and libc.so - posted by no2chem, I couldn't help wondering - what stops us, Captivate developers, from recompiling Samsung source code?

Not that I am a Dev, but this is a very interesting thread to watch.. I am sure Dev(s) would be interested in taking a shot at this .....

Bravo Bravomail!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] bravomail:
I'm trying it under Windows

Without much luck. Can't even compile a kernel. Cygwin and Codesourcery are not big friends.
[Captivate Android Development] bravomail:
So - anyone?

It is pretty much asking to recompile Platform piece of firmware.

Alternatively - back porting CM7 DalvikVM to Froyo will work :D
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
I am surprised that there is no Dev take on this... may be they are busy cooking :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Cloudstrife:
Suddenly my phone seems so sluggish and slow. Is there anything i can do except rebooting?

My iphone never got sluggish like this and i think i didnt reboot it for several months.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
have a look and see what app/programs are running in the back ground, with android you can multi task and run several progrms at once, with the iphone you cant only one app at a time.

Some androind apps stay open and use up atlot of memory which could be slowing your phone down,

Download a free app called Auto memory Optimizer and stop all unwanted apps running in the background

Hope this helps
[LG Optimus 2x] Cloudstrife:
Thanks, but you need root for auto memory optimiser. Is there a way without rooting?
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Try memory booster its free an can't see anything about needing root
[LG Optimus 2x] doublehell:
What apps do you have running? The most likely cause is a badly coded app that is hogging CPU cycles, or memory, or both.

Froyo is pretty good at closing apps when they are not needed. A task killer won't help if the problem app just restarts itself.
[LG Optimus 2x] Cloudstrife:
I think i have found the problem. Juice defender. I've uninstalled it and the phone fells faster and without the slowdown when i unlock the phone for about 30 sec.

Anyone else have problems with juicedefender?
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
yep. don't install that. i've been hearing reports that it does slow-down or cause freezes on your phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] Cloudstrife:
Ok. Generally NO taskkillers or battery savers from now on :-D
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
you can use watchdog. it monitors apps and can tell you what app are misbehaving. not necessarily a task killer but its definitely a useful app. does not slow down your phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
Does anyone else's music get laggy and choppy when you listen? Cuz mine does and its annoying as hell. Definetely not something. I was expecting from a super phone. If I reboot then it stops for a while but back at it in no time. I'm on cm7 and use winamp and this also happened on the stock player. I have a minimal amount of apps and plenty of ram free but music still lag arghhh!!! Oh and this mostly happens at times when I either lock or unlock the phone or scroll thru the menu.

Edit: it just stopped randomly out of nowhere but I know it will come back I can just feel it.
[LG Optimus 2x] :
Music lagging seems to be a problem in CM7 for some, on some builds. I have it sometimes, but it disappears after a while. CM7 is not stable atm, it'll probably be solved in the future.
[XPERIA X8 General] brapicoco:
sorry for this noob question but no one in SE forums answered this.. you see i'm sometimes having issues in receiving SMS.. i tried changing sims and still the problem persists.. and only the repair function or the SEUS fixes the problem.. but it's very tedious to do that every week because the problem occurs every week.. (i'm a heavy texter) the problem is that i cant receive long SMS totally from one person who i am texting with (but before i can) and from other persons i can.. After performing the repair the SMS comes in.. Its like there is a Bar that fills up then if it reaches the limit i can no longer receive long SMS and after that no SMS comes in even the short ones. If I filter the messaging app will it solve the problem? and another thing it says that it will clear data. (the original size of the app was 564) then if opened it becomes 572. if used the clear data it returns to 564 and if opened again it will go back to 572.

the question is what does this filter function do? and will it help me solve the SMS reception if i cleared the data?
[XPERIA X8 General] SimonL98:
i had this problem and i switched sim card and nothing work but finally i found out that i if i deleted some apps (i allmost didnt had any space left in my device) and the when i did that i rebooted my phone and then it worked :)
[XPERIA X8 General] sotiris82:
Yeah just delete some apps..it worked for me..hope I helped
[XPERIA X8 General] brapicoco:
and what does the filter function do? well i dont have any apps on my x8 meaning the internal memory can accommodate SMS but still the problem persists after quite some time.. what can i do about this?

Nice, thanks! I have been looking to change up my boot animation. I've been rockin' the XDA one for a long time.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] newellj79:
I'm using the blue one, seems a little small. Which resolution did u pick?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
480x800 is what works for me
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] chisleu:
it's hard to get a good boot animation to work in a real fullscreen (1024x600) setting because it's just too hard to display that many images (it's just pictures) and boot up at the same time. That's why I've started sticking with the cyanogen versions.

I would dig on nice looking boot up screens that were not designed to be viewed on smaller displays (ie, no hard edges, just black edges to the images)

That one looks very nice though.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ace7196:
This guy (actually the logcat version) seems to speed up boot by a few seconds, and is uber-nerdy :P

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hockeyfamily737:
Here's the boot animation that I use. I extracted it from the flashable Dark Horse theme in the Hero C forums (thanks to Kfunk & Mod Nation for actually making it usable) and resized it to 1024X600 and added a few additional frames for a smoother look if anyone wants to try it. I've been to lazy to make it a flashable, so drop it in /system/media and rename it from honeyblue.zip to bootanimation.zip.

***Edited*** Added Honeyred to the post
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
thats the xoom boot anim. its nice but been around for awhile :-P
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hockeyfamily737:
LOL....So basically, I took a boot animation that was used on a tablet, then resized for a cell phone & packed into a theme, extracted it edited in a couple of additional still frames and resized it back to it's original tablet form.....Good grief. At least I know how to do it. I've been working on my own for a couple of days now :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luciferii:
lol! yep.. hey sometimes practice makes perfect, i once wrote cwm flashable font installer before someone pointed out it was done for about 500 fonts before i thought of it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hockeyfamily737:
Nice!!! Guess I won't bother posting the red version I did of the same boot animation then. On a seperate, and only partially related topic....Anyone want to share any boot sound ideas? I've been using Brass Bonanza for a while and want something different....just not sure what.

[XPERIA X8 General] mepf:
Hi guys,

I just installed (using xRecovery) Floyo 0.20 in my X8 but I'm getting an error that says: The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. This only happens when my SIM is on the phone, if i remove it or if i enable the airplane mode then all works fine.

Right after I turn on my phone and unlock Android screen, I see my provider's name on the top bar with all the bars in reception quality, but after a few seconds it starts with this error, and even if I press stop or close button, the same error message appears shortly after (3 seconds, or so) in an infinite loop.

What can I do?

I really like Froyo and everything else seems to be working quite nice.

Thanks.

Cheers.

PS: Dunno if it helps, but I live in Argentina and my provider is Claro AR.

Edit: more data:

Model number: X8

Android Version: 2.2.1

Baseband version: ends with 53404015

Kernel version: 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

Mod version: Floyo by Racht

Build number: 0.20
[XPERIA X8 General] Salo-S:
It's very simple to solve :p

Reboot the phone and start xRecovery, go to advanced options and select "Fix permissions"

Try it! And post a feedback...
[XPERIA X8 General] mepf:
Thanks for answering, but it didn't work :(
[XPERIA X8 General] Salo-S:
Do you tried another ROM?

Maybe it's a bug w/ your SIM card and ROM incompatibilies...
[XPERIA X8 General] mepf:
I've just tried with another SIM card and it worked like charm!.

Only difference between these two SIM cards is that the one that doesn't work says 32K in the back, and the other one says 128K. Both are from the same provider.

Any ideas while I wait for a new SIM from my provider?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] Salo-S:
Wait you new SIM card is a good idea :D

Change the ROM, and test your old SIM card!
[XPERIA X8 General] mepf:
Good idea. I'm already downloading FroyoBread v009 to test it. Regards.

Edit:

Ok, FroyoBread is now installed but the issue remains. Although both SIM were working perfectly fine with Android 2.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtherBoo:
Hi Everyone,

Regarding my recent thread about Asus Support, I received a PM from someone with a user account name "Asus_USA".

Is this guy legit? Anyone can make an account named "Dell_USA", "Moto_USA", or "Asus_USA" and claim they represent the company.

He told me he could get me a replacement unit, not to send the RMA, and that he represented the North America division. This just seems fishy considering I am sending this to a USA address in Cali.

The account also has 0 posts which concerns me as well.

Has anyone else heard from this account? Is he/she legit?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemTechie:
Yeah, that's Hai. He's legit and very helpful and professional. I worked with him on my RMA. If you are concerned, he is more than happy to send an e-mail to you through the normal Asus e-mail. I had the same concern when he contacted me via PM at first.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
that does seem really fishy, but if what the guy stated above is true then go for it.

Make sure you ask for an official email and some other type of verification.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
hes legit, he's helped a bunch of people.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UKseagull:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HideYoKids:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jwtiyar:
after i flashed new rom , and want to go recovery it give me triangle logo , and the installed ROM does not load and its waiting on google logo.

please any helpp.

thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borky_16:
More Details, please..

ROM?

Normally you should reflash the Clockworkrecovery in Bootloader with fastboot flash recovery *NAMEOFFILE*.img

Make sure you are in the wright folder/location! :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_123:
If it is a stock based rom, you need to re-flash clockwork (through ADB works best...), boot into Android and use "Root Explorer" to navigate here:

root->etc and find the file "install-recovery.sh"

rename it anything you want, i just add a "2" to the end. Exit and reboot into recovery and you should be set to go.

Stock Android will reflash stock recovery if you dont do this...good to know the Nexus is hard to brick in this way:D.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duendecito_vivo:
Same problem here, any solution?

There are tons of tutorials explaining how to tweak your Nexus, but none explaining how to fix it when everything blows up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_123:
Just do what I said...Reflash clockwork and follow my instructions listed above and it will prevent Android from reverting to stock recovery. You arent bootlooping, the phone is just repairing itself back to stock recovery when you get the triangle.

All you need to do is rename that one file and your problem is solved.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duendecito_vivo:
I tried, still get stucks during boot up. "Google" is shown and nothing else happens.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_123:
Do you get to the fastboot? You may want to flash to stock and give it another go, or restore your previous backup...backup and backup some more. I have had this happen and a revert to stock, reroot works wonders to clean out the crap that builds up if you flash a ton of roms.

The worst that can happen is you get clean fresh Android and a clean slate to work off of.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoseyBAH:
I have a problem when ever i log into recovery it always says cannot mount? i have root access with the recovery properly installed (so i believe). The recovery allowed me to install superuser but it will not allow me to do a backup? iam running stock 2.3.4 rooted

[Droid X General] gdavenpo71:
Here is what I have done.

I rooted with z4root. I have not done anything else (no roms or changes to the software) I do have adfree and wireless tether installed.

I have read the directions for the two part download to root, but I’m stuck at this.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MOST CURRENT RADIO .12P THEN YOU WILL NEED TO SBF BACK TO .340 AND THEN USE METHOD 2.

If I’m reading it correctly my radio is at .07P (Baseband version?)

Will I be able to use the patched update.zip process, or will It cause me issues.

Yes I am a noob, and I have no problem admitting it.
[Droid X General] Lazlo Hollyfeld:
The 2 part download is for method 2 - that's what I used. I was rooted, but still on stock .340. Make sure you use a MD5 checker to verify the integrity of your 2 downloads! I put the 2 zip files in the root of the SD card and installed the Droid2 bootstrap program (not Droid X).

Start the bootstrap program, click on Bootstrap Recovery, click OK at the success dialog box, then click Reboot Recovery. Your X will reboot to a text interface. Use the volume keys to move up and down, camera button to select, and the Back button to go back.

Select install zip from the list and install the first zip file. DO NOT REBOOT YET!!!! Install the second zip file, then reboot. You should be on rooted Gingerbread with all your settings, homescreens, etc. intact.
[Droid X General] Lazlo Hollyfeld:
Also, make sure you have USB debugging (Settings-Applications-Development-USB debugging) enabled.
[Droid X General] gdavenpo71:
First thanks for the help.

The radio difference is my hang up.

just noticed Im getting pushed the update now. I hpe i can stop it from running so I can get root again. :mad:
[Droid X General] crawcraw:
I had your same issue. I had rooted stock froyo, but my radio was 7 not 12. I read it a bunch of times, then came to the conclusion that he was talking about folks already on GB.

Everything worked fine using method 2. Only issue I have is with corporate sync, but that is busted for a coworker who did OTA update too. I think it is a separate issue.

I used droid2 recovery.

so, download away!
[Droid X General] gdavenpo71:
rooted fine. everything looks good, but I am one of those who can not find a wifi tether to work.
[Nexus S Accessories] fallenguru:
Since the Nexus S's GPS doesn't seem to bloody work and a fix isn't even on the horizon I was thinking maybe I could use an external GPS and hook it up via Bluetooth. There's a couple of success reports for Android phones in general but I don't know which devices, if any, will actually work with a (stock) Nexus S.

Are there any special protocols / features that need to be supported and what do I need on the phone side?

Do you have any specific recommendations?

Judging by the local pricewatch site (http://geizhals.at/) the market is dominated by Garmin and Navilock here.
[Nexus S Accessories] BrianDigital:
1+ check some amazon reviews out it should work with anyone that has tried it will an android phone. If not CM7 will most likely have the protocal to support it
[Nexus S Accessories] A_Guy71:
What are you talking about? My GPS gets and holds a lock within seconds. Try flashing a different rom, mine took over a minute to lock before I flashed OpenSoju.
[Nexus S Accessories] demo23019:
Yea GPS is fine on ns never had any issues
[Nexus S Accessories] fallenguru:
It's nice that the built-in GPS works on your phone, but it doesn't on mine and I'm on the second unit already. Please do stay on topic.
[Nexus S Accessories] A_Guy71:
You would rather continue using a defective phone than listen to people tell you that a non-working GPS is not normal behavior?
[Nexus S Accessories] fallenguru:
Do you really think exchanging it a second time would help any? (Not a rhetorical question, btw.)

Have a look at the many many threads around here by people who have problems with the Nexus S's GPS. Or at the mile-long thread over at Google Help. Or at reviews over at Amazon. Everywhere it's the same picture: A lot of people have problems, a lot don't.

If it were easy to fix it would have been fixed by now, so either it's a hardware issue that only affects some batches (in which case exchanging the phone won't help) or a complex bug that depends on outside factors, e. g. carrier used (same result). I could of course get another phone entirely, but which? The SGS1? For the GPS? :eek: :(
[Nexus S Accessories] demo23019:
FYI im on my 3rd phone for other reasons and GPS was fine on all 3 devices

you might be getting threw a bad batch like you said ..IDK
[Nexus S Accessories] fallenguru:
Hm, not very encouraging, but thanks anyway. :(

I'm still open to suggestions for an external GPS, though.
[Nexus S Accessories] A_Guy71:
Yes I do think exchanging it again would help. You are paying $2,000+ over the course of two years for this phone. Settling for one with capabilities less than advertised seems unreal to me. If I bought a car after the salesman told me it had A/C and it turns out it didn't have any A/C, I would return it in a heartbeat.
[Nexus S Accessories] fallenguru:
Ok, thanks, I'll try.

Ouch! I realize you're just quoting a round figure but I just did the math and I'm not even paying $500 (assuming US) over two years.
[Nexus S Accessories] A_Guy71:
Wow, I didn't notice where you were from. $21 a month! You are a lucky guy. The US lags behind in broadband and cell service I suppose..
[Nexus S Accessories] LuvinN1:
My GPS never worked too. I downloaded Gps test (by chartcross limited) on the market and after running both this app and google navigation simultaneously my gps worked. Initially it took 5 min to lock in a signal and now i get a signal instantly. Maybe give this a try.
[Nexus S Accessories] fallenguru:
Ok, I got number three and lo and behold it is a little better. Not great, but usable at least.

I'd still be interested in BT GPS that work well with the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Accessories] StefanoAS:
I'm also not too happy with embedded GPS receiver.

So I just bought a Holux M-1000C, cheap and much more sensitive.

As additional plus you should get:

- logging during trips

- (to be confirmed) lower battery drain

- it can be adjusted to read up to 10 positions per second
