I don't know about your phone but on my Evo 4G I can load a fresh copy of the official 2.2 rom without going into recovery.

I just downloaded the RUU for my phone and renamed it to PC36IMG.zip and it automatically loads on the hboot menu from my SD card. It had to be on the root of your SD card to be seen.

I get the feeling that you may have a different issue if you dropped it in water.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zavien:
would i need to create a gold card for that to work? or could i just use a sd card reader download and hboot it from that point?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datagram40:
I've never heard of a gold card but just did a search and found info on it. Yay more stuff to research!

I'm not sure if you need one. Someone else will have to answer that. I didn't need one. But then I used unrevoked to get root, now I'm not even running that stock rom.

Hi

Everybody talk about changing the VM heap value, but... what is the difference after changing it? What about increase its value? And decrease it?

On the CM7 thread adamz667 post this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15065093&postcount=4569

Anyone can confirm that?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thre3aces:
Increasing cm heap means that apps can use more memory which makes them run faster but then since tbey use up more mem u will have less free memory.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
Here you got some definition:

from: http://droidgram.com/forum/8-Android-Dalvik-VM-Heap-Size
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] parads:
Thanks adam, but your post on CM thread was a good theory and this definition it's opposite to your post (a this new one: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15092265&postcount=4582)

I only want to know what value use without have to try all of them during days of testing...

Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
I have tested all of them today and the best results was with 16mb.

How I was testing it?

Shadow Guardian HD is a very heavy game for MM's ram memory. So I've tested every vm heap size on one and the same level of SGHD, with the same run environment and game was most playable on 16mb (no freezes, reboots, no returns to home screen).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thre3aces:
Really 16mb. Which rom? And how far did you get in the game?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
I am using CM7rc10 (14.06.2011) I am now in 4th episode (level?) - Medusa Sanctuary.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thre3aces:
That is very very interesting. I'm gonna have to give cm7 another chance. Maybe rc10 is a lot better than rc4 (last cm7 I tried)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] justanordinarydude:
i also have good performance with 16m tried most settings from extremely large to extremely small...

also png optimized most apps again and again... (which decreased the size of the apps by almost 10mb again - quite sure that it does not make much of a difference)

don't have any app locked in memory and only one homescreen with adw ex without widgets...

dunno till now i have not experienced any issues with lost sms or phone calls...

but i'm aware of that it could happen with my settings so it needs more testing, jit turned off etc. phone works like a charm since i switched from froyomod a week ago or so.

sent from my current location
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thre3aces:
Are you sure u tried 16 mb. Because I just tried shadow guardian on cm7 rc10 with ur settings and zepplinrox supercharger on balance and tbh it was rather language at times
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] parads:
I've tried jit off and VM heat on 16MB but not get any result.

The launcher was freezing 3 or 4 times, and all games get a minimal improve: 3 seconds more until FC.

I'm testing with: Asphalt 6 and Brothers In Arms 2 (Gameloft games) and Age of Wind v2.2. All versions for MM, with people that play them on stock rom.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] justanordinarydude:
well as i said i do not use that memory intensive apps.

(i think my biggest apps are maps and the browser, and the browser barely goes beyond 30mb, so 2 vm's with 16mb, instead of 2 with 24. but most apps stay below 10mb so i think for my use it is a good solution)

also i debloated the rom massively and replaced most system apps with smaller ones.

cm7 performs very well with this settings, at least for me. (no redraws, no lags in ui no freezes etc...)

like i said i don't use games on my stone

edit: only genie news & weather app reloads often but i think it simply has a high priority.

sent from my current location
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] thre3aces:
That is quite interesting. On ho no I

And 20mb with balanced 3 supercharger works great. But not so well on 16mb
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I had tried 16mb weeks ago when somebody suggested it.

That lasted about 5 minutes.

Scrolling between adw screens was brutally choppy.

Swipe finger, wait, look at watch, then bam - the screen suddenly decides to quickly jump to the next screen...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] adamz667:
I've got the same with 12mb vm heap. But when I use 16mb everything works fine on CM7 and HO!NO! CM7. Maybe it depends on rom/apps you use and your own configuration.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I guess.

But I'm used to fast, smooth and lots of free ram no matter what rom I'm using ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] justanordinarydude:
yeah 12mb is to small... experienced some errors with it too.

i have to say that for me everyhing between 16 and 32 mb seems to do not do much of a difference, but with 32mb my system uses some more RAM right after boot.

after a while it usally uses less (around 80-90mb sometimes less, sometimes more) so i normally have around 60mb free RAM, which seems to be enough.

i'm out of this discussion for now, but i have to say that i rly think ur VM Heap settings should match the apps u use.

so just try different settings.

@Zeppe

yay never experienced that, but i use only one Homescreen anyway. and ADWEX is rly memory friendly : )

[HTC Sensation] tbrandao:
I would like to create a a definitive guide (best Practices) to get the maximum amount of battery out of the Sensation. Coming from a LG G2x I'm finding this battery is actually equal or worse and since rooting and removing bloatware currenty seems impossible, then customizing this phone has to be within the realm of stock apps and settings..

My Experience

Using Battery monitor widget, I'm typically getting -200 ~ -300 mAh usage whenever the phone is being used, it will drop down to -30 mAh at its lowest in idle, but no where like the G2x of 5-10 mAh or -2mAh for Vibrant (in idle)..

My goal is to have this phone last 24-36 hours regularly (if possible) ... Right now I'm getting 12-18 hours, with moderate use.. 20 ~30 minutes calls..

Here are the steps I've tried to improve life, in order or decreasing effect.

General Tips/Steps to imporve

Turn off All Syncing (use power widget to toggle as needed)

Check Settings >> Accounts & Sync >> [disable auto sync]

Set Screen timeout to 15sec

Set brightness to < 15%

Check Settings >> Power >> Turn on most or all the power saving features in this menu.

Remove (or reduce) number of widgets that need to poll data (includes clock/weather, stocks, social feeds, etc)

Turn off Bluetooth, GPS (when not needed, again use Power widget to toggle)

Enable Wifi calling (yes wifi calling saves battery especially in low 3/4G signal areas)

Use camera sparingly (by far biggest battery hog)

Useful apps or widgets

General apps / widgets and tips to have

Add Power widget to home page (for quick toggling)

Install Battery monitor widget for charting battery usage.

Juicedefender or Green Power from appstore and let them help manage power

The best things I've found to improve battery life.. Use Juice Defender pro, and set schedules, let it turn off all the battery hogs...

Dam I wish I could remove the bloatware especially that Navigation package.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
wow you are severely gimping your phone to get the most battery life. I'm happy with 12-14 hours with heavy usage
[HTC Sensation] mpjohns3:
Umm... Why exactly do you have a smartphone if you are disabling every single thing that makes it a smartphone? If you want great battery life return the Sensation and buy a phone that does nothing but call and text.

Without disabling anything I am able to get through a 13 hour shift at work with texting all through and internet, youtube, etc during my breaks (~1-1.5 hours) with around 60-70% battery left. Then last week I used GPS with Navigation and screen brightness at 100 for the hour and a half drive home and I still had around 30% battery when I got home. (I was trying to kill the battery on the drive btw). I think all that is pretty damn good for a phone as powerful and with a screen as big as the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] mobilehavoc:
Sorry but in all due respect this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Go buy a feature phone and it'll last as long as you need and do the same thing as your crippled Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] smacman:
I couldn't agree more. Why buy a smartphone if you are going to shut every single "smart" feature off. It isn't just the OP though. The manufacturers themselves recommend these kind of optimizations in their support pages.

Want the best battery life? Do all that you do... then turn it off for an hour, then on for an hour, then off for an hour, then on for an hour... just keep doing this and you'll DOUBLE your battery life :p :p :D :p :p :D :p :p :D :p :p :D :p :p :D

Seriously, why not just actually use your phone and get a spare battery?
[HTC Sensation] Profondo_Rosso:
Turning brightness to the lowest setting works wonders. That's about all I've done, and I get 14 hours on average ...sometimes north of 17 hours. In general, if I get more than 12 hours out of my smartphone without disabling anything, I'm satisfied with that. 14, and I'm quite happy.

I tried Green Power free and while it seemed to help a bit, the difference for me was just too negligible to bother.
[HTC Sensation] ridikolous:
Just enjoy your for for now til you get sick of messing with it. After your sick of it, then start messing with the battery life. That will give something to do.

[HTC Sensation] messer19:
When I bought Sensation I was simply conciliated with that I will charge battery every single day. That´s it. Don´t buy a smartphone if you want it to last more than 1,5 day. Let´s stop with this battery obsession and start enjoying this great phone.
[HTC Sensation] tbrandao:
I tend to use the smartphone on the go, you know like a cell phone, so I'm not always near a charger, and a cell phone (after all that's one of the things a smartphone should do) typically should last a day or two, and I think its possible... but like anything else this battery hungry device can be guided to being a little more miserly in its power consumption... ..

Just looking for advice.. but I'll take the snarky comments...
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Honestly if you want a smartphone and good battery life get a BB. That's the only thing I miss about my BB is the 2 day battery life. Honestly these phones are getting more and more powerful by the day and battery technology needs to catch up. IMO I think they should stop cranking out new phones every month and focus on researching better battery technology then crank them out every month ;) It just seems like phone hardware keeps getting more and more power hungry and batteries are staying the same. I carry a little tiny blade folding charger with me or an extra battery. I tried to find the smallest folding charger I could so I could just throw it in my jeans pocket and not even notice it.
