heres the thread i started a while back about it --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110695

its because swap is written to the emmc (a section of internal memory) that isnt meant for constant re writing that ram requires. after so many writes it starts to degrade and can cause serious problems with your memory.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Wow thanks man, I just read that and decided to disable my swap. I had no idea! I might reenable it once more is learned about swap on mobile platforms, but thanks for that.
[HTC EVO 3D] stowellt:
What happened to the 4 arrow keys and is there a way to get them back? I know the screen is a touch narrower but I miss my 4g's arrows.
[HTC EVO 3D] dalex7777:
[A]This is a change from later HTC Sense kernels where they use the green "pebble" and the magnifying glass for locating text edits. I missed the arrows at first too but the "pebble and glass" seems to be a smoother more touch-friendly way of placing the cursor.

[EDIT] I came back to edit this post and can say that the pebble and glass interface works much better in portrait mode than it does in landscape. Trying to precisely place the cursor with the full keyboard doesn't leave enough screen real-estate for everything to fit on screen.

The FroYo 2.2.1/Sense 2.1 on the Thunderbolt has both the arrows and the pebble, and shares the EVO's screen size and aspect ratio. The 3D's aspect ratio is much closer to the iPhone 4 than any other current Android phone (with the Sensation) and there probably just wasn't enough space for the arrows.

With root, we will most likely be able to run the older HTC keyboard, but it will probably look ugly. I've seen some pretty sloppy screens from WVGA apps (Asphalt 5) that don't know how to properly fill the 3D's qHD screen.

If you haven't discovered it yet, make sure to turn on the Trace mode for the HTC Touch Input keyboard in settings. It's everything we love about the HTC keyboard with the power of Swype.
[HTC EVO 3D] xlaw:
You can try the Hacker's Keyboard. It's cramped in portrait mode, but gets the job done.

[HTC Inspire 4G] King Askaba:
What I am wondering and before you attack me I did research this and couldn't find anything specific to the Inspire. I want to know generally what is a good speed to underclock the inspire to achieve maximum batter and before you say every device is different I'm asking for a general idea not a specific one. Also do you think that overclocking has a big impact on batter I am overclocking right now at 1.3 ghz do you think that I'll notice a difference. And I know I have to test it myself but I just want others opinion on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ratchetandclankf:
I have the same question.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
FWIW, I run the OnDemand Governor and underclock at 883200 (245000 min) and don't notice a slowdown in any apps I run except angry birds (I ramp it up to 1.2 to play that). I haven't run any benchmarks or anything to see how it might improve the battery, since I really don't need to worry about it. It goes on the charger every night and I've never seen it below 50% when I plug it in.

I've been running a relatively stock DesireHD Gingerbread ROM based on the Asian WWE GB (2.37.707.3) but as of yesterday, I've been running one based on the telus GB released a few days ago (2.43.661.1). My kernel is custom based on stock HTC source for the 2.6.35.10 with OC/UV support added as hacked from the LeeDroid kernel tree. My source is here:

https://github.com/hoxsiew/ace-2.6.35-gb-mr
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I'm running at my rom's default (1017mhz). Instead of underclocking, I use the conservative governor. Battery life is good, but I also haven't noticed a battery drain when overclocking (I've been up to 1228mhz). I didn't test/run it for an extended period of time (1 day), but I only noticed a slight bump in performance.

I've heard of people on my rom (GingerBeast), clocking down to 768mhz without noticeable slowdown. As you stated, it just depends on the rom.

I hope my response wasn't considered rude, but the question really is too vague to answer. If there were some magic combination of OC/UV that worked for everyone, everyone would be using it.

They say that if you ask five New Yorkers their stance on an issue, you'll get six different opinions. Similarly, five smart phone users probably have six different opinions about the best setup for their device and none will be applicable to your situation.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evi1st3wi3:
Now that the Atrix has an unlockable bootloader, Gingerbread, and is only $100 on contract, should I wait for something better (Galaxy S II or HTC Holiday) or go ahead and upgrade? Is the Tegra 2 as good as the Exynos? Is the WVGA SAMOLED Plus display better than a qHD screen? Will the SGS2 be worth an extra $100 on top of what the Atrix costs now?

My only real problems with the Atrix were the fact that is wasn't very hackable and that it only had two touch points (which really wasn't a big deal to begin with) and now that both have been fixed, I want to know if the Exynos (or dual-core qualcomm) is a better processor and if the phone as a whole is worth the wait and extra cash.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npoc:
Exynos will be faster as it has support for the arm neon commands and both are cortex a9. Although I'm pretty sure the tegra 2 is faster than the qualcomm proc in the sensation and evo 3d.

I got frustrated with t-mo today, and returned my lightly used sensation and bought a used atrix off contract in the hopes that it will tide me over till a Nexus 3 (it's a longer story). So far I'm happy with my decision simply because of the recent bootloader unlock.

I like the qHd over the samoled simply because I don't do much phoning outside, and the extra pixels are worth it. I can deal with the slightly worse contrast ratios to benefit by having more pixels to play with.

btw today fry's has the atrix for $49.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evi1st3wi3:
Thanks for your opinion npoc, it was really helpful. $50 is a hard deal to pass up and I don't know if the increase in processing power will be worth a price tag that's 4x the atrix's...but idk I always like having the latest and the greatest. I may have to sleep on this one.

I'm sure whatever I get I will be happy with it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KefkaticFanatic:
If you care about games, Tegra 2 is preferable though not required, as though games will be developed for Tegra 2 you can use apps like Chainfire to get around that restriction albeit dealing with some bugs.

The Galaxy S II is a very promising contender, but the quality could be different than seen in Europe with the US carrier models. Also, the deal with the screen not being as nice or something is still around.

And I think the Atrix is 1 penny at Amazon right now :P
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evi1st3wi3:
Ya, I found that 1 cent deal, the only problem is I'm not a new customer...and I'm on a family plan so I can't even get the $30 deal. But, I don't know the logistics of the Fry's deal so it could be something similar.

Ugh, I just wish the SGS2 would be released on AT&T already so I could just go in the store and see them both in my hands to figure out which one I really want.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I'm thinking of now getting the atrix as well. I'm sick of my nexus one amoled screen using so much power displaying white colors.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evi1st3wi3:
I couldn't stand it anymore and I went ahead and bought the Atrix! When I was in the store the guy said the unofficial word on the SGS2 is August and that was too long for me so I made the executive decision to buy the Atrix. From the hour that I've had it, all I can say is I think I am going to be very very happy with my decision :D

I compared the Atrix screen to the Infuse and honestly, the extra brightness and saturation didn't make too much of a difference. I think I will enjoy the 4" screen size as well as the qHD resolution more than the 4.3", WVGA screen the SGS2 has. Even without rooting and bootloader unlocking, this seems to be awesome phone and I can't wait till tonight when I have time to sit down and hack this thing up!
[Samsung Mesmerize] kallell:
Anyone getting sick of only having 1 bar with 3g being flaky? Maybe it's my area (milwaukee), maybe its the new ee19 radio, maybe it's the rom. Is it just me or are other experiencing issues?

p.s. Yes i've done *228
[Samsung Mesmerize] sidicious:
I have my mesmerize fully flashed to boost mobile. All settings are in place correctly, and I get 1x constantly.... when 3g pops up it stays dormant, or I get 1 up arrow, one down arrow, and then bam back to 1x. Speed tests on 1x reveal that it is clearly 1x, as the speeds are never higher than 200kbps. I think the mesmerize has a weak antenna and I have read non stop **** about the flaky failure 3g. I have been toying with the idea of flashing the fascinate radio to my mesmerize to see if thatd help, but honestly have just been wishing there was a sprint radio I could flash.
[Samsung Mesmerize] kallell:
Heh I've considered going to at and t or verizon. I've used probably 4 Diff radios including a fascinate one and it didn't make any Diff.
[Samsung Mesmerize] das1116:
I'm using EE19PnP and having bad data connection that comes and goes. Only issue I've had with the ROM. We'll see what happens.
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
After flashing The 6/22 Heinz rom, I've lost all data connection while roaming. I've tried everything I can think of to fix. The latest I tried was I just flashed the full EE19 build and dialed *228 to update prl and left everything completely stock, still no luck. Before that, I tried a nandroid restore to prior to the flash where everything ran great and I was getting 2 days out of the battery. I can't figure out what happened or how to fix it. Any ideas?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
I had the same issue. Called the tech at my local store and he knew exactly what was wrong. They have to change a setting on their (USCC) side after you update to ee19. Since then, not a problem with data connection
[Samsung Mesmerize] kallell:
Wait, so you had flaky data or literally no data at all?
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
I talked with uscc. She said they had a problem with roaming 3g in the update that was performed by a uscc store, but not the Kies. Does anyone know if the full EE19 retore in the "get your phone back to stock" was pulled from what the uscc stores received to update phones in house? This way they'll know how to fix it.

I am also in the Milwaukee area, with Heinz57 v1.3, and get 1-2 bars with flaky 3g, I would love to know what they did as well, I've been searching all over for any kind of fix, but have not found anything very useful at all yet, other than external antennas which is a path I would rather not try if there is a simpler option.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
I wonder if it's an area thing?

I'm running a completely different ROM (MIUI 1.7.1.3), but running the EE19 radio, and my 3g seems fairly good. I haven't been running it *that* long, less than a week, but it still seems pretty stable/fast. I used to have occasional problems with the EC10 radio on the old froyo MIUI v8 Mes port dropping to 1x (sometimes staying in 1x for hours), but eventually I could get back to 3g. I'm only ever showing 1-2 bars, but if I recall our MIUI port may not correctly display reception bars relative to actual phone reception (especially the case in old MIUI, where I ALWAYS showed 2 bars no matter what, I swear).

I'm not sure how helpful this really is, since I'm in a different location and running a different ROM, but at least thus far, I'd observe EE19 to have better reception/speed than EC10. Just my own limited experience though.
[Samsung Mesmerize] fooxz:
Chromwolf; thats a good point about the EE19 radio... im running the newest Heinz, which shows EE19 in the build number, but EC10 in the "Baseband version" which i might assume to mean EC10 radio...

It might be an area thing, but I have been much more north, where other people get 3+ bars, and I struggle to get one. I have the dBm show in my statusbar, and it actually varies from the dBm in the phone status though, but that might just be a refresh discrepancy.

Did you flash the EE19 radio seperate from the MIUI rom? I would like to give that a shot, but a quick google search didnt give me any places to download the EE19 radio by itself.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
We don't have a stand alone radio file (that I'm aware of). Just update to stock EE19 and reflash the ROM.

According to the TSM guys the dBm that shows in status bar is being pulled from a different place than it is in the phone status menu. No idea what the difference is but that's what I was told when I saw the same thing a while back.
[Samsung Mesmerize] fooxz:
gotcha, Ill do that and see what happens. I missed that line in the Heinz post, to update to EE19 before flashing Heinz, so I suppose thats my fault :P
[Samsung Mesmerize] knoxjon:
FWIW I have had this phone since December, and I have taken it from the South Carolina coast up through Tennessee and into Chicago (which probably doesn't count, since US Cell is the biggest player there), and I've found the coverage maps to be pretty accurate. I've never had a trouble getting a signal or getting solid 3g, unless I'm in a building. The only issue I've ever had was running cm7 and my phone messing up and thinking it was supposed to be on verizon. Then I did get 1x and a flaky connection.

If I were in your shoes, I'd do a complete wipe, etc, with EE19. Not the update package. Take it to stock like a new phone and see how that helps, and if it doesn't, take it to the store.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Actually, I'm almost positive I've seen separate Odin flashes for both the EC10 and EE19 radios buried in a different thread somewhere care of Phidelt82, but I couldn't tell you which thread that was in. XP

I grabbed the full EE19 ROM Odin Phi originally posted, picked the TAR.MD5 apart, and Heimdall'd just the modem while on old MIUI v8 (Froyo), then flashed to GB MIUI MTD.

That said.....

I think I like this advice better for your issue. It weeds out the possibility for other stuff getting in the way. I'd Nandroid first, Titanium Backup all your apps, then Odin fresh to EC10, then EE19 like knoxjon suggests (from what I saw in the EE19 package I used, it's not a full package and won't repartition since it doesn't flash any bootloaders---but I could be wrong), and finally, flash H57.

EDIT: Actually, "not the update package"... is there a full EE19 with bootloaders and everything I'm not aware of..?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
There's a full EE19 build in the "how to get back to stock" thread.
[Samsung Mesmerize] fooxz:
Long story short, just did this;

Tried straight flashing to EE19 from current status, nearly bricked my phone when ODIN froze mid-flash... (my fault, was doing a bunch of other system heavy stuff at the same time) got it to re-flash to Dl14 even though the phone was @ the phone ! computer screen (scary :'( )

(tried just going to EE19, but once it booted, it went to the samsung recovery, with mounting errors, so i flashed the Dl14 with a re-partition just to make sure, which worked marvelously.)

then did a factory reset to make sure everything was cleaned up...

flashed to EE19 from there, and signal was just the same as it was before, so now i've flashed back my heinz and in the process of restoring all mah stuffs.

Ill see how it is over the next couple days and comment again, but so far the EE19 radio seemed nearly exactly like EC10 radio.

That being said... would the *228 option 2 update thing help out any? I didn't do that yet since I wiped it.

If nothing else, ill bring it in and tell them the reception is garbage :/
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Unlikely *228 will help with reception as that simply updates the roaming tower list. I suppose if you are close to a roaming location it's possible it could help but I would doubt it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] fooxz:
Gotcha, figured I would ask :P
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
He said something about a triple (aaa) switch needed to be changed. It has to do with data roaming, but it's made a big difference in home area as well as when I'm roaming.

That being said, I think my data was better before ee19. I never had my 3g go dormant before. Now it does a lot and it doesn't matter what radio I'm using or where I'm at.
[Samsung Mesmerize] fooxz:
I just stopped by my local USCC store, expecting to either get a replacement mes or a desire since my gf's gets a f-ton better reception, and they also "reset" some switch, she didn't say what kind of switch, but it did fix the complete inability of my phone to send/receive MMSes.

The craziest thing was that the woman I talked to had the same exact phone w/ the online upgrade, and she had three bars, while I had two, and they were right next to each other, so I am thinking it may be a hardware thing.

She said the next step if issues continued was to call for a replacement, which i will play around with mine for now, but might try adding an external antenna if I do end up having to have a service replacement :P
