[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Dude, this almost sounds like a hardware issue or something. How's the rest of the phone? Like when you open apps or browse web pages. Honestly i've used every froyo build and ive never had it that bad. Sluggish for me would be a second or two nothing more than that. Like in my previous comment if you're upto it you could try setting up a swap partition as a final test. After that maybe you need to reflash an sbf and go through the upgrade process from scratch. That always fixes things.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
Yeah, when I had reloads it was generally not that long. If I had a lot of widgets out it might take longer to load up but I don't recall it really being 8 seconds or so...
[Milestone XT720 General] spectacle:
Hey hows spb on miui? I can't seem to find it on market. How do I get it? Is it smooth like go or launcherpro
[Milestone XT720 General] punchback:
I do have some weirdness when the battery goes dead. The phone has problems seeing the sdcard after I charge. That happens occasionally but other than that no major problems.
[Milestone XT720 General] syrenz:
SPB is buttery smooth. Amazing launcher - check out reviews for it online (there are a bunch). However, currently it only runs well for me on either MIUI or 2.1 (on Dexter or WanHu ROMs it has issues). And while it doesn't reload every time like other launchers, it does have to load itself up once in a while when things run out of memory (it's pretty memory intensive I think). They really need to provide it with an update already though (more widgets + features + performance improvements should come sometime, but I don't know when...).

For some reason SPB won't show up in the market on MIUI (there were a bunch of missing apps for me). I emailed SPB support about it and they gave me a copy of one from their website to install as an apk and it worked perfectly. I did already own SPB from android market. You can go to their site and buy the apk directly if you want. It is more expensive than most apps, so you may want to wait until they do that long expected update before diving in. Still, it's a fantastic launcher.

Hi!

I'm about to put my SNS up where the sun don't shine..

I've followed this guide:

But when i come to part 2 i have some problems.. The Command Prompt hangs at < Waiting for Device > and nothing happens from here.

All drivers are installed as they should. What would be wrong?

Phones info:

Baseband: I9020XXKD1

Please help my phone to survive :)
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
What operating system are you using? If you're using windows going to device manager and see what it says for android devices.
[Nexus S General] Hansen1142:
I'm using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate - And it says what it should:

When phone is turned on normally:

Android Composite ADB Interface

Phone in Fast-Boot:

Android Bootloader Interface

Nothing should be wrong there..
[Nexus S General] cteneyck:
i would try another usb cable. they have been know to not work. also make sure that your android sdk has been updated fully before starting step 2
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Installing PDAnet had proven time and time again to be the easiest and most foolproof method of getting the correct up to date drivers installed. Please try that. Install PDAnet on your machine and follow the prompts. Then try again.
[Nexus S General] simms22:
truth!

here is their site http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php install the free version onto your computer then just follow the on screen instructions. itll install the proper driver for you.

[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Does ADB work?
[Nexus S General] q711179:
I am having same problem, so I can relate, but not unhappy with stock. I also can not find anything wrong even on device manager everything looks like out ought to work.

I tried adb fastboot devices and my phone is supposed to show up, but didn't. You might try yours as well, probably get same result.

Makes me think still a problem with the driver.
[Nexus S General] Hansen1142:
No idea, i actually don't know what ADB actually is and does?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
It is a Command Line Interface application that comes packaged with the Android SDK, just like fastboot. ADB is used to interface with your device while it is booted normally, and fastboot interfaces with your device at the bootloader level.

With your phone booted up into Android, plug in USB and do "fastboot devices". What happens?

But before you do that, let me ask: are you sure when you were having trouble with fastboot that you had the phone in bootloader? You have to hold volume up + power until you see a screen that says FASTBOOT MODE at the top with a lot of other text. You can only use fastboot commands such as "fastboot oem unlock" when the phone is in bootloader.
[Nexus S General] Hansen1142:
I am sure i'm in fastboot, and not Android system :)

The ADB finds a Device - Screenshot added..
[Nexus S General] q711179:
If you are not sure what adb is, I am wondering what method you are using to root?
[Nexus S General] Hansen1142:
I am following the guide i'm linking to in first post ;)
[Nexus S General] q711179:
Sorry, but using phone and didn't catch the first post after reading	few of the others. Since we having same problem I will try it tuesday, which is my next day off work and let you know how out goes.

If you do get this resolved, let me know how you did out.
[Nexus S General] q711179:
Possible problem

So I checked on my device manager and the android device driver says; Android ADB Interface, rather than Android Bootloader Interface.

Anyone that can help me change it to the correct one as I can use ADB to get phone to bootloader but when I type bootloader devices my phone is not found.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S General] q711179:
Figured it out (maybe lucky guess)

I moved a copy of bootloader from tools folder to platform tools then opened a terminal from that window and it worked.

Bootloader unlocked and on way to full root. :D
[HTC Desire S] boyan.orion:
Is it possible to flash a stock rom on s-off ( alpharevx ) device by removing the hboot and recovery image from the package on the Desire S, or the stock rom will force check if all components from the package are present and deny installation ?

On the Alpharev 1.8 website it says that this is possible for the original desire.

I assume that if this was 100% possible the alpharev team would already provided it as a solution but i thought i'd still ask about it.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I like what your saying in theory and can't see why it shouldn't work...although never done anything like this myself........
[HTC Desire S] boyan.orion:
Well never mind, I just cooked my own rom from the original RUU.

Thanks for the reply.

Reason was that i had to check file permissions on rooted and nonrooted clean rom because of some small anomalies found by enabling superuser.

Playing with Hboot and Fastboot in this way is VERY dangerous and can easily lead to a brick, unless you know what your doing leave well alone.

Hello everyone, I recently got a new Mytouch 4g because my last one was faulty, but I can't seem to do something I was able to do with the last one. How do you set up the text message previews on the lockscreen? Trust me, I've went to the message settings and checked display preview but it still will not work.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themoebius:
When you say you went into "Message settings"... do you mean the stock message settings or the settings in GoSMS? If I were to guess, going into stock message settings wouldn't affect anything if you have GoSMS set as the default messaging client.

It would be a setting inside gosms if it is possible. Stock settings wouldn't change anything if you're not using it.

Hi! I've just changed my phone from htc Legend to IncredibleS, and the sound quality is awful, i almost can't understand the othes side, its like that he/she is talking from a deep pipe, if i increas the volume, than its become distorted, and even worst. Also sometimes its ecchoing like hell. Did u notice any problem like this or is it a hardware failure?

noone has any call sound problem? then i shall take it to the service, except that its a very great phone.
[HTC Incredible S] firesting:
Yup Im having the same issue. Lots of echo during calls. But only from incredible s to another person who has the same phone. I tried flashing both phones with ARHD and it seemed to have gotten a lot better, but i still hear my echo sometimes. I'm going to try to disable the secondary mic and see if that makes a difference, if not i'll have to find a way to lower the mic sensitivity.

Well Im going to test that tonight.. One thing I noticed is that if im talking on 3G, there's no echo, as soon as it switches to 2G (since im in a basement), i hear the echo again... But I will try to deactivate the noise cancellation mic and see what happens. I'll let you guys know of the results. I'll test on 2G and 3G

if you call *#*#4636#*#*, you'll get to some kind of info/settings menu, and can change encryption/mobile network settings, for me turned off encryption, and changed to wcdmw preferred (if i recall correnctly) made the voice a bit better, but there was still rattle in it, so its in the service now

Noticed on virtuousroms that Ext4 journaling is used. Didn't see a way to upgrade the SD partition to 4 in CMR3.0.08. Will the default work? Also any recommendation on the partition size and do we need to specify a swap file? I am figuring with a 378MB file Dinc will need some help, lotsa help :)

Take a look inside the rom. It actually has the setup for every phone inside it. So i'd imagine the final rom is around 260-270 for our phone. It also has some ebooks inside and a pretty large theme.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdog94:

anyone know why ?????
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rmk40:
Would you guys prefer using /data rather than /sd-ext? It's a fairly easy change. It'll mean less room for Market applications but makes it easier on most people also.

We may also be able to detect whether sd-ext is available and use it if it is, otherwise fall back to data.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdog94:
i would say either

with complete instructions

is this why i can only get to the white htc screen????

I don't know if anyone else is using their EVO as a backup, WiFi only device...I'm guessing with the Evo3d's release, that I'm not the only one...If so, (and I found this info in the Flyer forums) there is a free Market app called Line2 that let's you make free unlimited phone calls and texts over WiFi...It takes about 30 seconds to set up, and works flawlessly, assigns a new # based on where you live, and even includes a voicemail service...

Also, I found out that HTC included a native screenshot function in the Flyer (WHY NOT THE EVO3D, HTC?), that works WITHOUT that stylus/pen. Apparently, if you press/hold power, then press home, a screenshot is taken..Does anyone else know if that is still a working function in the port, and if so, where are the .jpgs stored?

I've included a few landscape pics that show the Carousel, the pull-down notification bar that has a scrolling Quick Settings section (different than ours) and that 'Line2' dialer...Am loving this ROM, it got me to finally replace the shattered digitizer on a backup Evo.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] maxawesome:
We have a thread for SD cards. Why are you posting this??

There seems to be a lot of confusion and FUD over in the "Confirmed Working SD Card" thread, so I thought I would share my knowledge about WP7 and my findings.

All SD cards are not created equal

There are 2 main measurements that differentiate SD card performance in terms of what we care about in WP7 phones:

Random Read IOPS

Random Write IOPS

IOPS ARE THE #1 FACTOR that determines if your card will work fluidly with WP7!!

I won't tell you exactly how I know this, but let's just say that I have discussed this at length with the people at Microsoft who built WP7.

Sequential Read/Write are a nice figure to look at, but doesn't mean much in terms of phones. Think about how phones behave. Most of the data and work they do is fleeting, and involves a lot of very very small transactions. IOPS are what we care about.

That's nice. How is this a guide, exactly?

Ok, smarty pants. This guide will show you a quick way of determining if your SD card will r0xx0r or suxx0r when you load WP7.

The steps

Go and get yourself a copy of CrystalDiskMark (it's free!)

Throw your microSD card into a USB or SD card adapter

Plug that bad boy into your computer

Launch CrystalDiskMark

Select your microSD in the drop-down list of disks

Run ALL tests for a couple of the data sizes (I like to do 50MB, 1000MB, and 4000MB). You can pick 1 pass or 5 passes. I like 5 because it eliminates the possibility of a spike or dip giving you false results.

Pay attention to the output.

Here are some samples:

Wintec 16GB Class 10

SanDisk 8GB Class 2

SanDisk 8GB Class 4

Transcend 8GB Class 4

How to choose

As you can see from the examples above, the Class rating of the card means diddly squat.

What you'll want for a smooth-as-butter WP7 experience is the highest IOPS ratings you can get (on average) for both Random Read and Random Write. In the case of the examples above, that means using the SanDisk 8GB Class 4 card.

It's IOPS measurements mean that it will likely perform very smoothly in nearly every situation. Sure, a couple of the other cards beat it in Random Read IOPS, but remember that your phone will be reading and writing to the SD card constantly, since the nature of WP7 is to create a synthetic RAID across the internal storage and your SD card.

Comments, questions, and feedback

Hopefully this guide is helpful. If you find anything to be glaringly in error, or if you know better from your personal experience, please PM me and I'll make an update once I verify your correction.

Thanks and enjoy!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
haha, i wish you had posted this a few hours earlier, i just wrote exactly the same thing :)

To add to what you have here ive copied some of what i was going to post

i dont think thats the full picture and after looking at 3 different cards, 2 of which dont work, 1 does, it does give a bit of a mixed bag of results

The first card listed below is slower in random reads, but just as quick in random writes as the working card, and yet it doesnt work

The last two cards are identical in reads but the working card is almost twice the speed in writes, what complicates things is the random write speeds on the working card is the same as the first card below, meaning it can not be just down to random writes, it must be a combo of read and writes or something else we're not seeing, anyone else confirm this?

Now there is only around 400KB difference in terms of random read speed between the first Dud card and the working card, or 100 IOPS

So from My tests we need to have a min of around +600 IOPS read and +10 IOPS for write on 4 k sectors

Also something else i noticed, if i changed the sector size to 4K it actually performed worse, ive not tried other sector sizes as it takes ages to completely format an 8GB SD card and im still using the working one so that would have to wait until i re flash it.

I think we need to be very very clear for this thead, this is not a thread for telling people what card does and doesnt work (please correct me if that is not the case?), its about trying to work out why cards do not work and if there is anything that can help with increasing the odds of getting a working card. Currently there is no way of knowing if a card will or will not work other than trying it!

Ive attached the file for testing the cards, but please visit the site as they deserve all the credit for this program

http://crystalmark.info/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] maxawesome:
You're absolutely right!

This thread is about how to PICK the right SD card, not about exactly which one is the right one.

And from my list above, I used the SanDisk 8GB Class 4 because it had such high IOPS in all 4 tests that CrystalDiskMark runs: 600+ IOPS in both 4k Random Read tests and 100+ in both 4k Random Write tests.

It's working quite well, and actually if you were to go to AT&T and buy an approved WP7 upgrade microSD (they do sell them, because on the Samsung Focus it is replaceable), you'd likely find that it will test the same -- higher IOPS in these 4 test scenarios.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
thats a huge increase in write speeds, 10x mine, this is going to be completely subjective but i dont notice any lagging at all, perhaps a tad slow when buying something from the marketplace but otherwise its always very very quick, do you notice anything like that?.

what should be pointed out to anyone reading this is both the OP and myself have the same card, and yet there is a significant difference in write speeds, this is why you cant say one brand/model is compatible, its all to do with batch numbers :)

aye, the AT&T cards, ive heard about them, but being from the other side of the pond ive never seen one, couldnt see anything on ebay either. Im gussing they are quite expencive?

it would be quite intresting for others to drop a list of their cards speed and to note if its fully working, slightly laggy, random restarts or wont install. may be able to work out a base line for the min spec needed.

oh what would you think about standardising the way its tested?, i dont have a card reader so i did it via the phone, perhaps that makes a difference, USB speed and HUB also, file size needs to be 100MB too or it wouldnt work on a card thats already in use for WP (only 200MB visible), tomorrow i shall mess about with sector sizes to see what happens, i dont think it will make a big difference as WP formats the card anyway and im assuming it would set its own sector sizes.
