[HTC Sensation] MonkeyK:
Has anyone documented the battery life gain of freezing the bloat? I look through those bloat freeze threads every now and then, but have not seen anyone post number on how it affects battery life (I might have missed a post or two though).
[HTC Sensation] juice_cazarez:
I was getting about 10-12 hrs on normal/heavy use. Now with bloatware frozen I can squeeze an extra 2-3 hrs
[HTC Sensation] juice_cazarez:
As of right now the phone had been unplugged 8 hrs 6 mins. I'm at 47%
[HTC Sensation] durps:
What apps did you freeze if you don't mind me asking, i wouldn't mind some extra battery life lol.
[HTC Sensation] juice_cazarez:
Tmobile app pack, tmobile backup, telenav, wifi calling, htc hub, and other crap I don't use (radio, nova, etc..)
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
Well I think I'm getting good battery life on the stock OEM battery. I have frozen a lot of apps, I have no task manager cause that damages your system slowly, I don't use juice defender because I realize the setting this app has is already built into the phone. I uninstall apps that I don't use at all.i also dont use setcpu or any cpu managers, My 7 home screens are filled with widgets. I downloaded this app called battery calibration and I followed the steps to calibrate the battery properly, after I deleted the app cause I didn't have any use for it 4g data is always on. I send at least 150 text per day, some days at least 3 hrs of talking and browsing the web. I listen to music for at least 3 hrs also. keep the brightness at 40% no auto brightness cause that also adds to battery drainage. for email and social networks i have auto update to at least an hr to every 2 hrs...I drained my battery fully until it can't power on at least 3 times in a cycle and this is the results I'm getting with moderate to heavy usage

Just to let you know my battery is at 5%

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] github:
People get so excited over these things they forget to check the dates. :rolleyes:

You'll know when the source code for the kernel has been released. There will be 100 different posts over the span of a few weeks in every EVO 4G sub-forum.

edit: It will be posted here when it's ready. http://developer.htc.com/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pcchameleon:
Users that updated their G2X to V21E, you getting any random reboots or freezing? Please report in this post. Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] retropcdos:
Nope not yet and seem overall faster, but only time will tell.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bobdelt:
Is Wifi fixed?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pcchameleon:
Yea, the true test will be a couple of days of uptime...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aaron636r:
Been only a few hours guys. Take a day or 2 to test this out. Battery, WIFI, GPS, Reboots...etc
[T-Mobile LG G2x] liquidblue1985:
None so far... but the true test is when it's on my charger at night. So we will see...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
None so far. Definitely noticeable increase in speed. No wifi or GPS issues yet either. Only bug so far is the 4g and signal status not switching to green indicating network connection to Google. Does on my N1.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
my phone sometimes freezes or becomes unresponsive to my fingers...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I will be flashing back to 2.2. I never had a single reboot in the 4 months I've had the phone and now in 3 hours since I have updated, the phone has rebooted 4 times and froze twice. Also, my GPS would lock in 10 seconds with 20 feet of accuracy and now its taking a couple minutes to lock with 100 feet of accuracy. I really hope this isn't the finished product.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skye206:
My phone froze once so far since I updated my g2x was once off the lucky ones with almost no issues I hope it dont continue
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
no reboots, notice the same white 4g deal, not turning green though. Has anyone got superoneclick to work with this yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skye206:
Call me crazy but I don't notice anymore screen bleed after all mine was very minimal
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Your crazy. ;-)

Is your phone set to Max brightness or is it on auto? If its on auto, I bet LG reprogrammed the code to dim the backlight more than it was before so people don't notice it as much. Mine has always been minimal but its still the same at max brightness. A software update ain't going to fix a hardware issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
you stink of troll filth...

I have not had a single problem and ive been on the update since literally the first post was made about the update... the only thing i keep getting is a gtalk authentication error but i figure most of apps in the update are not quite up to date nor do i really use gtalk lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
That jrwingate6 guy is some sort of shill poster,

claims to love the phone,

the next day he hates it,

next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it,

next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone,

next day he is complaining that GB is never coming,

next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again,

next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it

And he continues. if he is not some sort of paid corporate troll....its a pity because he is working it hard.

jrwingate6, I called you on this before....its fine....if I see your reply you can assume, I passed it off as gar-bauge and moved on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
ok so at least my sense of smell is still working :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
not to mention his sig says he's on the Sensation lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Um, you guys know this is a test rom, right?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Docavelli:
Yeah, not a single problem with the update. No reboots (never had them to begin with). This may not be the final GB but so fast I'm completely satisfied.

XDA Mobile
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
OK, JR and I disagree more than we agree, and I'm sure he can defend himself but:

- claims to love the phone

He talks positively about aspects of it.

-the next day he hates it

He talks negatively about aspects of it.

-next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it

He kept it because he got it free from T-Mobile and it does some things better than the Sensation.

-next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone

I don't know where you pulled this from but it doesn't sound like JR

-next day he is complaining that GB is never coming

So?

-next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again

Lots of rumors about this. JR tends to quote from a source though.

-next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it

Too early to tell if others are going to experience the same thing.

Tom, you're the one that still believes the phone's not for sale on tmobile.com because it's so popular. You're no stranger to sharing and defending unique opinions so it's odd you chose to single out JR. You've gone after me too. I come here to hear different opinions. I can figure out which one's to believe without a self-appointed moderator telling me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Ok first off, when did I ever say I hated the phone? If I hated it, I wouldn't say I use it almost every day.

Second off, I never said I couldn't sell it now. I said I wouldn't sell it now because the price just isn't right. Nobody can deny it has lost a lot of value.

Third off, when everyone else was saying they were having problems with it, I WASNT. I have always said my G2X has had ZERO bugs except some minor screen bleed.

Forth off, I'm not the only one complaining of problems with the GB update. Someone else said there phone is freezing and the touch screen is becoming unresponsive.

Fifth off, who cares if my Sig says I use the Sensation. I ha e said many times I use it as my main device and I especially use it to read and browse forums due to the text being crisper and more content on the display.

Sixth off, when did I ever say the G2X was never getting gingerbread?

Seventh off, if you think I only talk **** about the G2X, you better check again. I have talked **** about the Sensation in the Sensation forum. If a device is lacking in a certain area then I'm going to call it out. I have no problem talking **** about the devices I buy. I'm not stuck with them like most of you. If I want a new phone ill buy it. I don't have to justify my purchase just to make myself feel good.

By the way.. The G2X might not ha e been fully recalled but you can't deny there is some shady **** going on with LG and T-mobile. If you can deny then you just don't like hearing the truth.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
I posted this in the update thread and got no answer... just wondering if anyone noticeed the lockscreen still not showing up immediately. Upon unlocking you would see the background for a half sec and then the lockscreen would pop up. Only happens if you lock and unlock. After once it will show up right away. Anyone experience this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
I thought they added a delay.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I never had this problem. What u did have was when I went to unlock the screen, sometime I had to swipe it a couple times for it to recognize. That's gone now. Seems like a lot of phones being released now have lock screen problems. On my last Sensation I had to pull the ring a couple times for it to unlock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
well, I just rattled if off by memory about JR. He was exposing he love to me for his G2x, and then 6 hours later telling me how he was exiting the forum and selling his G2x. Then he said I was scouring all of his posts to pick those out. I must have missed that he got his phone free from T-Mobile...at least he is not suing them (I think???)

He is already saying he needs to not use the GB release....I bit skittish IMO. I have no recollection of saying anything to you or about your posts....unless you are one of those saying you had screen bleed, but were unable to document or photograph it.

There were people saying the were going to return their cars because the sun reflected off the windshield and they were forced to do an unacceptable workaround of putting on Polarized sunglasses to fix. I know I am going to keep on returning my car until the Sun's reflection is not viewable on my own windshield....customer is always right you know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
When did I say I hated the G2X or that I was leaving the forum? Just because I talk bad about something doesn't mean I hate something. If you want to scour my past posts and try to find where I said those things than that's on you. All I can say is you must have a lot of time on your hands to care this much about what I say about your phone of choice. If I wasnt using my Sensation as my daily driver, I highly doubt we would even be having this conversation.

You act as if I'm the only one who has bad things to say about the G2X. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, the G2X is a love hate relationship.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
That happened all the time with the stock ROM. A few people complained about it when the phone was first released, but since it doesn't really affect usability, those complaints were quickly swamped by the ones about rebooting, screen bleeds, overheating, etc.

I haven't noticed any difference in that from the original stock ROM, except that the slider does seem to be more sensitive than it was (and there's a little haptic feedback when you grab the slider that wasn't there before).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlsolorio5746:
It's always been there, the feedback was so low that it wasn't even noticable lol

I have had no reboots yet and my GPS is finally locking on. Is anyone else's browser kinda flaky?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bimmer325:
Seems just as fast as when I had it overclocked. GPS connects in about 10 seconds. Wifi stays on when screen is off. No reboots, but I never had that problem.. Now to see how the battery life will be..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pdxmatts:
Same here. No problems so far. Running smooth and quicker. Battery life is slightly better as well.

I did a factory reset after because the update didn't and re-downloaded my apps fresh. That might be something other's with problems should try.

I have absolutely no reboots and no problems. My GPS is more dead on and battery life is slightly better. I've had the update for a couple days now and my phone is running flawlessly.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barlaw604:
I have tried to unlock and root my Nexus S. I achieved unlock, but I am having problems with ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2 When I reboot, all I get is "Google" in the middle of the screen, with an "unlocked" lock image at the bottom of the screen. I am a new to this, and may have done something wrong.

Paul

Nexus S (Rogers)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You have to be more specific on what you did.

Did you flash a ROM?

.. What did you do?

The "unlocked" image is supposed to be there.

Hold Volume up + Power then go into recovery. Upon there, you should be able to do something. Perform a nandroid restore, flash a ROM, etc.

Remember when you flash a ROM you must wipe: factory settings, cache, dalvik

I'm here thinking you flashed a ROM and didn't wipe so it's not loading the ROM.

If this is the case, just wipe the 3 things I said above and reflash the ROM and then reboot and you'll be on your way.

And please stop using the term 'brick' it is not bricked.

Brick doesn't mean your phone doesn't start and it seems like its broken. Brick means to the state where you CANT turn on the phone AT ALL.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
You need to flash the recovery image correctly.

Fastboot flash recovery cwmfilename.img

Then turn off phone and boot. Up by volume up and power to get to bootloader then select recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barlaw604:
Thanks for your help. You were right. I have everything working now. Thanks.

Does anyone know any good roms where you can set individual ringtones for contacts. I tried a few and can't seem to find one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
As far as I remember you can on all of them.

I have used AR-HD and I am currently using Inspired Ace and both will let you assign ringtones without any issue.

Thanks everyone. But im running cm7.1 rl and it wont let me, even when I go into edit contact.
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Try ringdroid
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
That is because of the contacts app, use a 3rd party to set ringtones. I use Whoisit. It controls your notifications like nothing else I have found. Well worth the money. There are a few free apps like the one newter suggested that allow you to select personal mp3 files for ringtones. Some custom roms come with an app already built in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I'm Currently running NINJA 716 which is based on CM and i can assign custom ringtones to different contacts on using the default contacts app. When you go into a contact hit menu then options and assign a ringtone.

i also tried this on my sister cliqxt running CM7.1 RC1 and it works
[HTC Inspire 4G] hungmung:
To select a ringtone for an individual contact in cm7 go to view the contact hit menu and choose option there will be an option to set a ringtone there.

Sent through the power of Cthulhu!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Justinfedor:
Oh yeah. Duh. I tried hitting menu as I was in edit mode and it gave no options. Totally forgot to just select contact an hit menu. Now I can rove the other apps to save space. Thanks everyone

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Reviewers:
So there's no way of getting a custom ROM on S-ON right ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
I thought HTC said they unlocked the bootloader for all HTC devices?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mpmilestogo:
I would have hoped that after the Sensation Evo 3d thing we would have seen this one ship S-OFF. I guess it means this one waits until September? I don't think that this one was on the list I saw on the updated FB posting. Probably has the same protections/encryptions as the Sensation. I remember when the G2 got S-Off, a few phones came long for the ride. Perhaps that will happen with the independent effort for the Sensation and the 3d.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
well good, thanks for saving me the upgrade(s) (i needed two).

I'll wait now and see if this gets s-off'd before i renew my contract in sprint.

I'll keep my G2
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nbetcher:
Wouldn't it be better said that the SUBSIDIZED units will not have S-OFF, versus "retail". When I think "retail" I think full retail sticker price, which would be S-OFF. :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] knowledge561:
The thing is that HTC kind of borked over on their unlocking promise. The Sensation and Evo3D both shipped S-ON. We recently found that the HTC CHA-CHA shipped with S-OFF. I think all of the phones already in production before and during that statement are shipping S-ON.

I Haz 3D!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AKfortyseven:
Can't say i'm surprised
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
How do we check if our unit is S-OFF or not? I don't know how to get to bootloader on this device. Been a while since I rooted a phone.

EDIT: Realized I had Fast Boot mode on. To disable it, go into: Settings > Power > Fast Boot. Once disabled, power down the phone. When powering it back up, hold the "Volume Down" key to get into Hboot to see if you have S-On or S-Off.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shizenyasuya:
that promise was made well after the devlopment of this device began but there are s-off devices out there so i think the hacking/rooting community will have a way to get s-on to s-off soon enough.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] shizenyasuya:
i still expect full retail devices sold by t-mobile to be s-on the difference isnt in what you pay for it, it's in the branding. those with s-off devices either have an htc branded double shot, or a pre-release demo mytouch 4g slide with t-mobile branding. either way, the phones sold by t-mobile, subsidized or otherwise are s-on.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eismcsquare:
So I just checked my phone and of course its S-ON.

My question is (sorry for noob question - this is my first android device) - along with tools to root, ROMs etc, would there be a way to turn this to S-OFF? In other words, earlier S-ON devices were 'hacked' too, right?

If not, I will have to return the phone - the bloatware on this phone is just unbelievable.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
Yes, I'm sure this will get rooted and/or get s-off shortly.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] waiting89:
Yeah, just give it time I'm pretty sure this phone will get rooted very soon. This phone has a lot of power not be played with lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] michaelmab88:
Just think of S to mean security.. So S-ON and S-OFF are describing the state of the phones boot loader. If the boot loader is S-ON (security-on) then it is "locked" and any changes made to the system will be reset every time the phone is rebooted. If the boot loader is S-OFF (security-off) then it is "unlocked" and changes to the operating system will not be erased when the phone is rebooted.

The "way" you seek already exists on the Sensation 4g, which has about the same hardware as the mytouch 4g slide. This tool for unlocking the phone's boot loader is called "alpharev X". The tool is in beta stages, so it of course has not been released to the public. Although I'm almost certain it will work on the mytouch 4g, there is however, no guarantee that it will. Since the tool is not available to the public, more than likely HTC would not have been able to fix whatever exploit alpharev X uses to gain control over the boot loader. Alpharev X already works on multiple devices so there is no reason to think that it wouldn't work on the mytouch4g slide.

I certainly hope that it does because mine will be delivered tomorrow :D

Can't wait to play with it!!!

Oh yeah... And I want to return the Sensation 4g I Just bought.. I don't like it at all :/

Edit: revolutionary is the name of the tool and it has been released for the sensation 4g.. So it won't be long now before the mytouch 4g slide gets S-OFF.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Root and S-Off are what's holding me back from getting this phone. It certainly holds a lot of promise to it, but I think I'll stick with my G2 for now.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Randomocity812:
Temproot has already been achieved, and considering the sensation and the mt4gs's bootloaders are near identical, when Alpharev-revoked releases their S-OFF patch for the Sensation today, I'd imagine that the mt4gs will only be a week behind.
