[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechieGeek:
So - on an Android phone, do I need to check "Data Enabled" for the better voice quality, or will the 3G/4G for better voice be enabled by default?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ahoyboyhoy:
No, enabling or disabling your mobile data connection will not affect call quality directly. Your device will connect to the best network available regardless of data being enabled. The only setting you can look at is your preferred network type under mobile network settings.

[HTC Sensation] dontw:
im just curious to kno when we over clock this phone with temp root ...are we only over clocking one processor? im asking this because I've been reading that gingerbread doesn't even use both cores...and we have to wait until ice cream sandwich for both cores to be used like there supposed to be...I kno some games utilize both cores, but for the most part we only have a "single" core phone?
[HTC Sensation] Matt1408:
I'm interested in underclocking/disabling a core. Seeing how that would play out on battery life.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
A post I found online says it nicely:

As you can now see, even though the device is dual core, the OS and any applications won't make -full- use of both cores until they are designed to do so. Just like most applications these days won't utilize a quad core processor on your desktop. You are correct in saying that some games are designed to use both, which is noticeable. I don't see why an overclock wouldn't affect both cores.

By the way, your title is full of fail :p "Gingerbread only using one core?" would have been more suitable, since the device itself has nothing to do with how the OS utilizes its hardware.
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
I wonder if within the development here we can actually get that working?
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Get what working, the overclock on both cores? Or Gingerbread using both cores?

If A: Yes (once S-OFF update comes, or temporarily with Fr3vo until then)

If B: No.
[HTC Sensation] dontw:
haha I thought about that after I posted..I kno how some pple are on here...easy to flame ya...which is why I don't post often..just read...but thanks for the info...I figured that was the case...can't wait to see what this phone is really capable of....s-off will be here sooner then later
[HTC Sensation] The Radius Kid:
I agree with you.

It would be nice if both cores ramped up to full speed when even only one is needed.
[HTC Sensation] |ErosizeD|:
So in basic terms..

SGSII is a monster of CPU power....

you say its only using 1 core, and SGSII scores about 2-3 times more than our HTC Sensation...

When icecream will be released, the samsung galaxy S ii will socre even higher than our sensation....

I do not think android 2.3 is using one core for sure its using both .( even if the OS doesn't support )
[HTC Sensation] Paging Dr B:
Wait, huh? Are you saying that you think the GS2 is using both cores, and the sensation is only using one? That would completely explain the benchmark scores. Bring on 2.4
[HTC Sensation] glhturbo:
Where did you see a benchmark score where the SGSII is 2-3 times higher than the HTC Sensation?

The only one that I have checked was CF-Bench (which supports dual core) and the SGSII was about 20% higher. Certainly not 200%-300% higher.
[HTC Sensation] dontw:


this is gonna be a forever argument between the sensation and the gsII...on paper the sensation has better hardware ..Google it..its all over the forum ...the software is not optimized for the phone.with that being said..neither is the gsII...unless its running honeycomb somehow or ice cream sandwich ...gingerbread its self is the issue...now touchwiz may utilize both cores..im not sure..that may be why the gsII seems way smoother....just wait until this BL is unlocked...this phone will be monster

Hi everyone

I'm brand new in this forum ,and i found this web quite good and interesting

so I'm going with my question

Some days ago I was in Republic Dominican and I bought from Claro carrier RD a Xperia-X10 ,but normally I move a lot arround the caribean area and I'd like to unlocked it, so do I have to buy a code to unlock the phone that it depends from Claro Republican Dominican carrier?

,I was thinking that providing the IMEto have the code was enough + the tools and finish . but

I used to see people talking about code for the AT&T network , for the Vodafone etc

Could you explain me that ??

Can i buy a code from another Carrier to use it in my phone???

What is the impact?

What to do ?

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neuro_99:
Hi,

I needed to flash a ROM onto my phone (prev using leedroid), however as I was going about this process (after I had backed everything up using clockworkmod recovery, and begun wiping), the phone stopped detecting my SD card

this card had been working fine for well over a year before. now error in recovery is something like E: unable to mount xxxx

it is detected using SD card reader on computer, and I have tried re-partitioning it to no avail

now the phone can boot into recovery and also the rom, but the SD card isnt detected in either, and neither now is the SIM card.

normally I would search extensively for a solution myself before posting, but I have done as much as I can, in my current situation I have no WIFI, only an internet dongle with very slow connection.

currently I assume that there is a problem with the radio but I have not had experience flashing this without using SD card in recovery

also, due to the risks involved with flashing radio, I would prefer to try to flash a new rom first, but again I have no experience flashing a new rom without SD card in recovery.

I have adb installed on my computer but not much experience using it.

Sorry for all this, but I am not the kind of guy who flashes roms regularly, the last time I did it was a while ago, and cant really remember how I rooted in the first place (I think I used unrevoked) - therefore uncertain of S-off status - although not sure what the significance of this is

please help i dont know what to do

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
This is what you need to do (instructions I wrote for myself in case I ever broke it again) :-

To gain access to SD card:

Put phone into fastboot mode (back button + power)

In CMD, go to dir C:\Android\android-sdk\Tools

Type: path C:\Android\android-sdk\Platform-tools)

Input "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"

You'll need the Android SDK and once installed (along with the updated USB drivers that are available in the updates it finds) I discovered that 'Fastboot' was in a different directory to ADB so attempting to run Fastboot failed as it couldn't find ADB. My cure was to create a path to the ADB directory (as listed above). Be sure to change the path and directories to wherever you install them.

Alternatively (and far easier) search for 'Android Flasher' which is available on these forums. This has fastboot and adb installed in the same directory and is a much, much smaller download and run the above command from a CMD prompt from the directory that fastboot and adb reside in wherever you install Android Flasher to. I've never tried it this way but no reason why it shouldn't work and far easier than getting the whole SDK thing! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parva4:
Yep confirmed, Android Flasher will do it. A quick search should find the program, it's a very small download compared to downloading the Android-SDK (and the Java runtime module it requires). Simply change directory in CMD to c:\your android flasher dir\data directory and run that command from there with the phone plugged in and running fastboot, fixed. :)

Here you go :- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638&highlight=android+flasher

Ignore the S-Off bit, that's to do with the functions of the flasher itself, we're not actually using that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neuro_99:
thanks so much guys, that sorted the problem right out (used AndroidFlasher)

after reflashing the ROM, the problems with the SIM went away, so no need to flash new radio!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iceman1979:
Guys same problem here

I backed up, I changed my sd card to an 32gb, restored but then i had the "Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" problem

I solved the problem with your solution (fastboot oem enableqxdm 0) then full wipe then reinstall rom

But now windows can't see my device. On my phone there is no popup menu to ask me what do i want to do when i connect the usb plug

Also, in recovery, i choose mount USB storage but windows dont see my ds card (4gb or 32gb cards)

What is the problem?

ps

when i connect to windows, device driver installation says: device driver software was not successfully installed.

It also listes "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM No driver found" 3 times

[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:

[Thunderbolt General] METDeath:
I think the big hold up with dual boot is how much internal memory the device has or if it can boot from an SD card.

I know the nook has it easy with a 5GB EMMC on top of where the stock ROM resides, so people just partition off a portion of the 5GB EMMC and make it a custom uboot.bin (CM7.10 RC for the nook Color has one built in that will dual boot off SD or EMMC).
[Thunderbolt General] admiralspark:
The thunderbolts come with 8gb internal storage and a 32gb sd card (unless this is verizon only, idk)

Phones are not like computers--a pc can have a bootloader installed quite easily, because the BIOS initializes the system and hands the reigns over to the bootloader. A phone's boot mechanism initializes hardware and the operating system....but the firmware/bootloader is already compiled code (and proprietary usually). It's a bit harder when you have to poke in the dark...

HOWEVER!

It is possible. The software exists, it needs to be modified for the Thunderbolt though.

EDIT: check this:

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] nmyshkin:
If you access the Play Store on a regular computer you will see the Android version requirements for each app listed at the end of the app description. If your device is recognized by the Play Store (mine is seen as a "phone") then it will only allow you to download apps that it "knows" are compatible with your device. It can "see" that the NST runs Android 2.1. Even at that, some "compatible" apps simply fail to run on the NST or have limited functionality so it's a bit hit-and-miss. Sometimes you can track down an older version at the author's website (Perfect Viewer is an example) which will work on 2.1. So looking at the Play Store for something you want may not always be an exercise in frustration but you may have to go the extra km to get what you want.
