[General Questions and Answers] tombarr:
Honestly I prefer straight C for a lot of things because it has the most strict code. It is so strict that code in and of itself is easier to follow. C++ being a superset of C is nice, and of course it adds OOP functionality. I just think C++ can get a bit too confusing sometimes, and I am always learning about new ways to do things that I never knew before.

Java is quite the opposite with syntax and garbage collection (which I am generally not a fan of outside of scripting languages). It is easier to use OOP in Java than C++ sometimes you forget about performance that way. You start initialising objects left and right, forgetting about their overhead and faster, more creative ways to do things.

or

plug usb into pc

pull battery

plug usb into phone

hold both volume buttons

push battery back in

should get you to download mode, took me 2 hours of trying once so keep trying if it doesnt go first time and try different usb ports :)

EDIT: or it might not go to download mode but it can still connect to odin from that screen and has the blue progress bar like odin under them icons :)

[HTC ChaCha] leoni1980:
I've only just got the ChaCha so am unable to get a good impression of battery life yet, but does anyone know if the built in Facebook Chat widget/app uses the C2DM framework (like the official app, Beejive, IM+ and others) or does it simply constantly poll the network and drain battery?

The app seems really good and it would be a shame if I had to remember to log out all the time to avoid sucking the battery dry. I'm used to leaving Beejive running all the time as it has VERY little hit on battery.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Cheers.
[HTC ChaCha] inny2:
You have to remember to log off all the time :/

It started to pissing me off not because of the battery drain but because wherever I am I seem like a facebook addict meaning that im constanly logged in FB chat :rolleyes:

I'm thinking to uninstall the widget since facebook app has chat if i ever want to chat with FB friend (which is something i dont do often).

But yeah end of the line it seems to have push notifications and when you are on the pc and log in FB chat its turned on the cell phone too.

Want an option like to never go online automatically but only manual because its a nice widget from time to time.

Hi sense I got the Infuse almost two weeks ago the phone is getting slower and slower and app's are starting to crash more. Has anyone experiencing this? It reminds me the Captivate and the Vibrant.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carhigh:
Mine seems to be getting laddy. Cant really tell for sure yet why. Apps open slower, such as root explorer and some others.....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] samomamo:
Mine too, I have all the same apps installed sense I got it and I font know why but its getting laggy. I have it rooted and has stock. I restart then its on for couple of hours then gets laggy, and I check the processing nothing out of the ordinary.

I used to have the problems you guys are all talking about...

Root - Bionix Rom - 1.5Ghz OC/UV... Never rebooted ever again...

Seriously no joke guys....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassistguy:
I agree. Using custom ROM's are pretty much like getting a heart transplant. I am running Infused 1.5, and my phone seems like a totally different device. It's more stable, and a lot more responsive, plus all of the AT&T bloatware has been removed. The only time I have to reboot is when I make a change that requires a reboot (i.e. changing LCD density). If you are up to it, I seriously recommend looking in to a custom ROM. Check out the "Infuse 4G Android Development" forum.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] millerja01a:
Backup Apps and Data- Wipe - Don't restore everything at once

I've had this happen to me on both my Captivate and now the Infuse running stock or custom ROM's.

The fix I tracked it down to was...drum rolll. APPS!!!!!

Each app thats installed takes phone resources. If the app is active in the background, when others are all active together, just like a PC, it'll slow it down.

Don't restore all apps at once. Troubleshoot by noting each app install and how the phone behaves. If you were fine before an app or other behavior then things slowed down after, reverse what you did by uninstalling and rebooting. See if the behavior persists.

I had Infused running fine till I added CNN and HuffPo apps. Both of which have background notification services running. After installing them, my battery life went to pot even with JuiceDefender ultimate. So I uninstalled them, fully charged up, went to CWM and reset battery stats.

Upon reboot without CNN and HuffPo, battery use is way better. I did that a couple of days ago so I'll install HuffPo and CNN again one at a time to see if the problem comes back.

Moral of the story. Watch the apps you install. These phones are like small PC's. Be mindful of the effects of the software you install.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] samomamo:
I think its same as captivate Samsung is doing something on the file system that's why it gets slow after a week
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hydrogenman:
as a general rule I automatically disable background updates of every app I install
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Emandab1:
Infused 1.5 was a big win over stock. Switched to Bionix 2.0 and now on Infused 2.0. I think Bionix was slower but more stable than Infused 1.5 (both Froyo). Infused 2.0 (GB) seems to be faster and more stable though only running it for a couple of days. About to drop in Infusion-GB OC/UV kernel. Looks like it will make it even faster.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Emandab1:
Can't be sure but it may be that you have too many apps running on. Each widget from a different app runs an app at startup. I just run Battery Monitor Widget.

Lots of other apps run at startup too. Astrid, Skype, and other calendar/messaging apps are included. Some games (eg:"4 in a row") start at boot though I don't know why.

And the stupid Google market has the startup on boot permission hidden.

Some apps allow you to disable auto start, others don't. I tend to delete those unless I really like them.

My new favorite app manager, Gemini App Manager, makes it real easy to find these apps. Just scroll the list of apps looking for ones that have an orange "AU" icon. Gemini App Manager runs better with root but fine without it. And, yes, I know it has an orange "AU" icon next to it. I just think it's worth it. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Many of the complaints I saw from the OP are complaints I've heard frequently about RFS. One of the main reasons why Stock Is Bad.

RFS is so awful that converting it to ext4 has a well-known name - Voodoo Lagfix.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Auto-Android:
You can also try advanced task manager
[Samsung Infuse 4G] superweapons:
+1. Any "lag" issues, particularly responsiveness after extended usage, can be attributed to RFS. Install Voodoo Lagfix (standard on most if not all ROMs and kernels in the dev section) and begin enjoying great performance after more than one week's usage.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
The longer you use it, and the more apps you install, the laggier and crappier it gets.

Same as the Captivate. Probably the same as all Android.

EXT4 does little, if anything.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] novicebg:
Hello, guys!

Sorry for the question, but how can I install xRecovery 2.5 or 2.6, after I've already updated to CM6-1.0.2 with CWM 3? I've read a lot of topics, that say there is need to install an earlier version of xRecovery in order to be able to install .zip applications like themes for example.

I've tried to do it with ROM Manager, it says then I've xRecovery 1.7, 2.4 or another one, and when I choose to reboot in Recovery, Clockworkmod recovery 3 appears again, instead of the version that ROM Manager has reported.

Could you please explain me how to install recovery.img manually step by step or another way to install xRecovery over CWM 3? I've tried also to install it manually by copying chargemon and busybox files in bin folder, but after that the phone can not load the system - a lot of errors appear on boot.

I'll be very thankful to you for your help!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] novicebg:
Thanks for the "answers", guys! Over 12 hours of fishsilence, thank you very much! You all are so "helpful" here as like we all are developers and should understand from a few words in your developers' slang!

Anyway the CW supports Xrecovery backup files.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] novicebg:
Nope, I know about it, but the problem was I was unable to istall .zip files under CWM 3 for the lack of Edify script in it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] matmutant:
yes you can't flash old .zip with amend script but this one allows you to flash old xrecovery above cwm (i tried myself.)

then you'll be able to flash old .zip but no more the recent with edify scripting

xrecovery backups need to be placed in cwm folder to be used :-)
[Venue Pro General] Sandbunny:
I just installed the beta 2 for the developers what is published today on my dell venue pro and I wanted to share my first impressions with the community. I will update this thread with my findings (positive or negative).

First some history:

I bought the phone in the US beginning of January. I live in Europe, Spain and I have my phone developer unlocked. So now you know where my phone came its maybe comparable for some of you here in the forums.

After update my phone have the following software specs:

DVP 8Gb model upgraded to 16gb

OS: 7661.WP7_6_Trial (mojobld).20110607-1657

Firmware: 2250.1500.7004.105

Hardware rev. 112.576.2.0

Radio software: 2.2.5.15

Radio hardware: 8250

Bootloader: 7.27.1.0

After update:

I noticed that the phone contained all my data, installed programs telephone numbers ect. what I didn't expect after doing any flash.

Positive points:

- Reaction speed is much better then NODO

- Stable OS (BETA 2 is mostly stable)

- The new functionality of course.

Negative point

- I noticed that background programs like eg. 4th and mayor are closing down out of them self. I'm not sure if multi-tasking is fully implemented.

- Some times I have a white glim's if I start an app in the overlay

Still need to try

- I have the feeling the software for the phone is indeed better but need some more testing.

- Somehow get a benchmark program to see if the performance is really better.

- I think the battery is also better but i'm not sure yet.

Maybe people who have access to the beta can also share their experience. I can confirm the BETA will not brick our phones :D

Here you can download the beta. There is a manual to install without dev unlocked device!

I will report back with more info.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:

update ran smooth on both the firmware updated and non updated devices. The experience is fantastic. There is no question of that. Mango is a demon

I need to test on the old f/w but users let me say this. New update + mango == you may think you are in mobile heaven

It's really funny that the devices are using 2 year old tech for all intents and purposes and it is outperforming android by leaps and bounds!

I should do a benchmark
[Venue Pro General] synergeia:
can we update to Mango beta first, then only upgrade the firmware when it comes out? or is it better to wait until the firmware update is applied before installing Mango beta?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
If you don't have a spare device, i would recommend waiting it out for the FW to come and then update to Mango beta. All sources info lead to FW only update and no OS level update - still i would be cautious..becos you don't want the Mango experience to be ruined by the wifi crash.

[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
And shot themselves for this long and got their image tarnished (if not already).
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
For sure. People are looking for 32GB WP7 phones but the Dell is not mentioned despite being the first OEM to ship legit 32GB devices. They would have been second only to Samsung IMO for best WP7 device. Should have got on top of the issues we reported faster letting positive word of mouth spread and capitalised on the form factor but I have to say, they seemed strangely uninterested in actually making an impact (even with the Venue android version). And the resulting bad rep is now really affecting their perception. Sad.
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Without question...

What remains to be see is if they can do something to regain a lot of what they lost. I think if they make the concessions right they can convince a lot of customers to talk highly of Dell and that would go a long way.

If they just drop the firmware and continue as if nothing happened then the last memory they will have in many people's minds is the failed DVP start and that can sag their reputation for a LONG time. Ford comes to mind in that regard...
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Back to Topic - One good thing with DVP and Mango compared to other devices:

Since DVP never had much homebrew action due to it not exposing API's as other vendors, it became a good thing with Mango. The reason is now Homebrew apps are either killed or don't work with Mango beta. I feel sad for HTC folks :) I am sure they will resurrect.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
But the approved homebrew solution from chevronlabs should remedy that, right? BTW what is the best thing about Mango in everyday use?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
I hope Chevron comes to rescue.

Linked Inbox, Chat (Messaging), improved Contacts Live tile (with who commented on FB status) and better people hub (groups - i dont want to Swift tons of Vendor garbage in FB.) - so far.

[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
One thing i am noticing with Mango is if one uses the full Mango experience, the battery will be drained in 1/2 day. I used my phone the same way as i would+Mango and it drained in 8 hrs. Pre-Mango, i used to get 15 hrs.
[Venue Pro General] omaropa:
It's not auto-fix. :) What auto-fix does is adjust lighting I think.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
I've found it also does a few things on contrasting and shaking too...its not nearly as bad...

I should check the old fw though

[Venue Pro General] lemonspeakers:

[Venue Pro General] Sandbunny:
Some people asked me to share the BETA 2 update files. The problem is during update the program seeks contact and looks up if you have your dvp dev unlocked. I think this will prevent the update for folks who dont have a dev account.

I think the experienced devs here will break it open by time.
