After using 2.2.2 Froyo for about a week I have a few issues. The #1 issue is that it has a lag time that seems to be growing, and Android is rather sluggish now. Frustratingly so. Maybe I need to reformat my SD card and reinstall.

Also Android crashed a few times today, that is the first time it has crashed. One time it crashed while I was talking on the phone. Not sure what brought that on.

Also, lots of applications, like maybe a dozen, auto start and seem to slow down the O.S. I downloaded a task killer app, but not sure if that one is working exactly the way it should. I can't seem to find any pages that you can alter if the application starts or not on boot. I would like to have them not start.

so maybe I do need to reformat and reinstall.

FRX07 lag time issues sort of resolved on HTC TP2

Sharing more of my Android experience. Android Froyo 2.2.2 FRXO7 on an HTC TP2 off of a 2GB sandisk memory card. This Touch Pro 2 normally runs Windows 6.5 mobile. I start HARET.exe and it boots up Linux / Android FRX07.

I was going nuts on the task killer, killing my apps all the time, then even went so far as to set the task killer to auto kill. Response time was getting worse and worse. Finally, figured out the task killer was my main CPU hog problem. Instead of helping it was hurting. So I uninstalled the Task Killer and am letting Android figure out what processes it should end. That is helping, and Android is more responsive again. Of course, it can always be faster, so I will try a few more things. I do still have a task killer. I am currently using ES TASK KILLER, but I'm only using it mainly to see what processes are running and NOT setting it to automatic.

Here is an interesting page with the title:

FAQ: Why You Shouldn’t Be Using a Task Killer with Android

Explains you don't need to worry about memory usage with Android (Linux).

http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

Also, in my experience, important to not install more than one new app at a time. Otherwise you won't know which app is hurting response time. Install 1 (one) app, use it for a bit, at least maybe 30 minutes or an hour. You can tell right away if your new app is affecting your lag time or not. if so uninstall and find a new similar app and test it. For example: Opera mobile browser for Android seemed to be affecting my response time a lot (almost non usable), so I removed Opera Mobile and now I'm testing Dolphin browser and it doesn't seem to be slowing me down. I didn't test Opera Mini, I was going to but I saw Dolphin so I tried it instead, and the Dolphin browser is pretty nice so far.

just installed fxr07 yesterday... Had heck of a time getting sd card(s) to reformat to work for install.

really like it, after setup and several reboots, the Speed is very reasonable. Have had a few unplanned reboots into windows, but android loads rather fast now.

I did the install so I could use the androids tether WiFi hotspot to connect my new HP TouchPad to the internet when not at home. The winmo tether is ad-hoc so it would not work with Touch pad.

took 24 hours to get it to work (configuration difficulties with both devices), but got it to work!

if anyone needs help with this, feel free to pm.

Love the Touchpad, esp with overclock and performance tweaks and the fireside prices!

Intalled Gen.y Dualboot on HTC TP2 w detailed installation instructions

Nice! :)

I still feel that my android install is too slow. :( For instance, after I press the camera button it takes 5 seconds before the camera app pops up. Is that slow or not? Maybe my expectations are too high. 5 seconds to get into settings or contacts, but only 2 seconds to get into messages, 20 seconds to open a browser and see the google.com screen.

Also, am happy camper again, because I installed Gen.y dualboot on my HTC TP2. Since it wasn't super obvious how to install gen.y dualboot, here is how I installed gen.y on my HTC Touch Pro 2.

1) Boot into Windows Mobile on your HTC TP2

2) Open Internet Explorer in the Windows Mobile

3) Go to this page http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623792

4) Go down the page, find and click the link that says Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 CABs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)

5) A Megaupload web site page opens, wait 45 seconds for the timer to count down, then click Regular Download. (all this from your windows mobile HTC TP2).

6) A zip file of 4 cabs will download

7) Find the zip file you just downloaded to your Windows Mobile, and extract the cab you need. The HTC TP2 has a WVGA screen, so extract the WVGA cab. I have Total Commander on my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC TP2, so I was able to find and extract the WVGA cab to a folder using Total Commander.

8) Find and double-click that WVGA CAB you just extracted, and it will install (again I used Total Commander) but probably any file explorer will work. I installed it to my internal memory on the HTC Touch Pro 2

9) Reboot and you will see the dual boot screen. You can customize the dual boot however you like.

10) Optionally, you can delete the zip file and cab file if you want.

Thanks to whoever created the gen.y dualboot, it is pretty awesome.

:rolleyes:

Speeding up Android

I have been reading this good how-to thread about Android Speed Improvements

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218458

Topic #4. I tried this. I can't really say if it runs any faster or not, it feels faster AFTER it wakes up from a dark screen, once it wakes up it feels more responsive. It has not frozen up on me yet.

I put the line below into my startup.txt file and rebooted and now I am running at 710.4 Mhz Max on my HTC TP2.

acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=710400

Topic #5. To be fair, I also tweaked the OS with topic #5 in addition to topic #4 (kind of dumb of me to tweak two things at once, since now I don't know which one is helping).

I changed the last 3 variables on this line. So the speed up could be from this line also. I didn't do the line below, Instead I used a file manager, found the file /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree edited this file using a text editor right from the phone, then saved it. I did use the parameters below. BTW: You will lose these settings on a reboot.

echo "1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree

After tweaking the two settings above I tried a few benchmarks with my wireless on and sync on, GPS I had off and Bluetooth off.

16 sec = Camera open

03 sec = Chomp (text messaging) open

04 sec = Contacts open all 1000+

06 sec = Messaging (android classic) open

18 sec = Market open

06 sec =Opera Mini open

08 sec = Dolphin Browser open

I am curious how this was done? I have the HTC Rhodium 400 on Sprint. I have installed FRX 7.1 and as stated works great, however when i go into mobile hot spot, i can turn on the password encrypted wifi and connect my touchpad to it however the problem begins when i try to exit the wifi hotspot. The Rhodium will not disconnect and then hangs, freezes and then i have to pull battery and start over.

any suggestions?

[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
Hey everyone. Ive been searchnig around and cant find any information on this. I was told that the tablet enters a deep sleep mode to save battery. Ive noticed that while im playing music and the tablet screen times out, after the song finishes it never moves on to the next song. Also when it wakes up the screen is unresponsive for a few seconds. I have tried a few roms and thiese issues seem to be on all of them. Anyone else having this? Any fixes?
[Acer Iconia A500] simonsgray:
i have a similar issue where if the screen is off for longer than about 5 minutes, the wifi disconnects. its not really a problem since it jumps back on pretty quickly, i'm more wondering if anybody else has this. and sometimes, if the screen is off longer than a day or so, it worn't wake up - i have to powercycle it...
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Your wifi is disconnecting due to your wifi policy in settings.

As for the "deep sleep", I've seen this once or twice. Seems to be something endemic to the Tegra chipset itself, as it gets reported on all devices.
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
the screen not responding i can put up with if i have to. but i have never had these issues with 3.0.1 stock. im not downplaying any of the amazing roms out there. because i know this is an android related bug. i was told i should try another music player as some have a workaround for this issue. but google music on the tablet is the best music player imo. anyone know of a fix? can someone else also confirm that the music issue is present on their device?
[Acer Iconia A500] sisopetron:
Hi,

Same things here : when the screen is off, the player never goes to the next song.

Any fix ?

[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
I've noticed this deep sleep thing a few times with HC3.1. Can't seem to wake it backup up once it's in it. Don't know about the song issue with it.

Normally when the screen goes off, i just hit the power button and it's ready for me to do my unlock pattern. But when it goes into this deep sleep, it refuses to wake up. I have to hold the power button down for about 10 seconds (no vibration noted). let go, then hold it down for about 8 seconds until I feel the "boot up" vibration.

It hasn't bothered me too much yet. It doesn't seem to do it very often. I guess I use it often enough to keep it from doing it.
[Acer Iconia A500] simonsgray:
Yeah, that's what i was trying to describe in the second half of my post. Much better said here, anyone else experiencing this annoying if non-frequent issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] Chaz36:
yes, i have a few times, on 3.01 and 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
both of my issues where solved in android 3.2... i am once again happy :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
Can you all possible update your posts with what build of 3.1 you're using?

I am in the US and was on .08 and my sleep issues from 3.0.1 were completely resolved so I'm trying to find out if it still exists on foreign builds of the ROM.

If you're on the U.S version - I know you don't want to hear this, but you might want to try a factory reset. There could be some settings 'stuck' in the system. A file that didn't get overwritten which was supposed to by the update, etc. Anything can happen. It's like going from 1 version of Linux/Windows to the next using an upgrade when you don't factory reset.

Alternatively, you could also wait for the .10 version being seeded right now to see if that helps. But as I mentioned, I didn't have the issue on my tablet so it's likely some folks are experiencing a software glitch.
[Acer Iconia A500] M-XXXX:
Any solution to this? Any good players that would work as they should?
[Acer Iconia A500] gh123man:
it appears the issue was with android 3.1 itself. try a 3.2 rom. all of the issues are gone :)

i was installing some widget locker themes and somehow managed to get myself in a situation where .zip files open with rom manager without asking. i went into the applications menu to clear the defaults for rom manager, but they're not there. i can't figure out how to clear the default so i can open this file with widget locker. any suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Joyslan:
A possible solution.

Sorry for resurrect an apparently dead topic, but I think that someone else could be suffering with this, just like me.

I've found a "Default App Manager Lite" (and Pro) for Android. Just search for this on Market... err... Play Store! ;-)

Perhaps the only app to do something about this problem.

Hope to be useful!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdnetto:
You must be thinking of the volume size. The file size limitation is the main reason everyone uses NTFS on Windows these days (improved access controls being the other reason).

The filesize limitation is why MS went to the trouble of creating exFAT - FAT32 can handle TB sized volumes, and journalling file systems like NTFS shorten the lifespan of flash media.

Ok new thread. Postive feedback posts about the evo3d. While I was at mall with the wife I stopped at the iphone store to check out the iphone 4 and compared it to my evo3d needless to say it was no comparison at all. I had the apple rep in awe even when I was on mobile I totally smashed the iPhone in ever aspect. When I went on wifi the rep put his little I can't do anything phone away and asked to check out mine. Of course Im like no. No one touches the evo3d but me. I did go on to show him I was over clocked and that the 3d was an added bonus even though I used it all but like 4 times. Also showed him the evo3d has flash. He was shocked. I think he might be headed towards a sprint store lol. Just wanted to share. Also the screen size is way smaller than what I thought. On tv it always looked bigger, but its so tiny compared to my superior phone. And I see my thread got removed "bummer" but a it was fun while it lasted. Thanks to all who posted postive feedback about the evo3d. Gotta love xda.

My bad thought I should have mentioned that. Man the evo3d held up great. On some photos on the iphone looked better at first. And some looked better on the 3d. But then we blu toothed the exact pics to the opposite phone and the results were the same IMO. The iPhone screen was nice but its no qhd. The rep was even shocked at the 3d picture quality. Only thing I had to adjust was the brightness on the 3d because under that store light which I think is fluorescent I was seeing myself in the pics. On websites the 3d out performed it hands down I can say. On the iPhone websites look small for one and blurry. I cleaned my glasses off and the both phone screens and same thing the rep told me after you have the phone for a while it looks normal. My reply was mine wins.
