Yeah, well whenever im using my GPS im usually not using it as a phone. But when I do happen to get a phone call, its like putting a hot coal against my face X.x.

I mean it's hotter than a laptop would be if it was running full on. Maybe I will exchange it...I don't want there to be problems in the future.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
What temperature does it get to? Was it charging while using it? Was the sun on it at all? Was the air on in your car, or was it hot? All of those things can.play a role as well, especially while using gps.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legion21:
Is it normal for the cpu temp to be 140+ while browsing the internet? I'm running gingerbread from the sbf in the development section, and I am rooted. Haven't really changed anything other than that though. Anyone else get high temps? I'm not even don't ng any 3d gaming or anything
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceo.mtcl:
I think no... Do you have oc kernel?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fablife:
Im wondering what normal as well. I'll monitor my CPU temp; but I know my battery temp went as high as 51 degress Celcius while browsing or watching a movie.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
I have got that high myself without problems. Can't remember for sure, but I think at 65C phone will shutdown to protect CPU.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viamonte:
edgar's OC kernel worked wonders to dimish my Atri's temps, which was hovering aroudn the 60's, and now doest go over 45.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legion21:
So having a over clocked kernel actually helped in reducing temps?

Edit: I have the stock kernel
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legion21:
also, I'm not so much concerned about damanging the phone itself, it just gets very uncomfortable to hold at that temperature haha
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autumn_leaf:
i find it hot running at 45c never mind 60c+.

i'm running stock everything on GB, even on Froyo i only got to around 45c with gaming,
[HTC Sensation] r3dlined:
Im going to be switching to T-Mobile and the Sensation looks like the top phone at the moment. Unfortunately, sense slows this phone BIG TIME. Can i just bypass that with another launcher?
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
Yes, just install one from the market, push home and it will give you an option. that's just the launcher tho, not the whole system sense integration. But this phone was made for sense (interface not launcher, I personally use go launcher), I haven't noticed any lag.
[HTC Sensation] Bxsteez:
Yes and no. The problem most people have isn't with the interface but with how much resources it takes up. If you add another launcher you don't reduce the usage of sense. If you just want a different interface then yes you can drop another one on top. From my experience ADW is slow as dirt on this device so i wouldn't recommend that one but i've heard people have had success with launcher pro
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
For me launcher pro and adw are slow. The but go Launcher runs great. Very smooth.
[HTC Sensation] r3dlined:
Its quite sad as the hardware is pretty solid. They killed the phone with the overhead of sense 3.0 though
[HTC Sensation] themoebius:
Yeah even though they are simply overlays and would only take up more resources, I tried both ADW and Launcher Pro (my usual) on my Sensation... both were ridiculously slow to the point of "Well screw this I'm sticking with Sense till they root this thing!" :(
[HTC Sensation] r3dlined:
Im sad to hear that as this is the phone to get with T-Mobile currently. I couldn't believe how laggy it was in the store after a reset.
[HTC Sensation] themoebius:
Well hang on there a sec, I didn't say the phone itself was laggy... in fact quite the opposite this thing flies. It was only ADW/Launcher Pro that lagged it out. I have had NO complaints with it's snappiness at all, and I'm harsh on judging my phones! This one has given me no reason to ***** about the speed... I just prefer stock Android over Sense, which even though it has some great features, still bugs me aesthetically.

I too was worried after I played with an in-store unit and noticed it laggy, but I think that is a simple result of everyone and their mother going in there and messing with it. All I can say is don't take the in-store performance too seriously... mine has acted nothing like the store unit did.
[HTC Sensation] r3dlined:
Cool thanks for that. I am trying to get over sense being just too much(I have an X now) as I like more clean and mean. Yeah, pure google does lack a lot. If the galaxay II doesn't hit sensation it is.
[HTC Sensation] themoebius:
I have been VERY happy with mine and I don't regret not waiting for the Hercules at all.
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
Sense is an entire UI integration made by HTC. It is not just a simple home app that you can replace (although you can replace the Sense launcher with something better like ADW). Unless you install an AOSP ROM like CyanogenMod when the phone is rooted you will NEVER be rid of Sense no matter how many bloatware apps you remove or HTC components you freeze. Period. End of story.

Is there anything about that you didn't understand?
[HTC Sensation] r3dlined:
Got it thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I really have to laugh at those who say ADW is slow on the Sensation. Maybe you all don't know how to optimize the settings gs but you couldn't be more wrong. I have been running ADW for the past month and everything in the UI is instant and much faster than Sense. I will make a video tomorrow night so there is no issue of he said, she said. Ill just be right and you'll be wrong.:-)
[HTC Sensation] themoebius:
I love to see a post with a mature, dignified, helpful approach... So, what approach were YOU going for?

Listen bud... try to imagine a world where posting unnecessary (ie completely unhelpful and rude) garbage like this does NOT in fact impress

anyone

. I know man... I sure wish it did too. I'm super glad that ADW runs buttery smooth for you, and had you responded with a helpful "Hey ADW runs great for me, here's how I have it configured..." I would have listened and actually could have respected you. Instead, you post trash like "I laugh at those, I'm right you're wrong" etc... As such I couldn't care less what you have to say.

Mm'kay? Thanks buddy...
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
Would setting Go Launcher as the default launcher, then freezing HTC Sense via Titanium Backup work or would it cause me to have to factory reset?
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
sorry if this is a little off topic... but when there is a bunch of sense-free roms out... can you then just find an apk of the launcher, etc and install that to rid the rest of the bloat? as i find the menu layout of sense a little better than the menu/quick buttons of things like ADW, etc
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
I would think you if you like sense then you wouldn't get a sense free rom. Or do you want sense on something like CM7?
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
I use go launcher and froze sense using viperbloat and it is works. Not sure how titanium works but you can also use viperbloat to enable sense again.
[HTC Sensation] BlackElvis79:
Were there any side affects from freezing Sense? Crashes or freezes?
[HTC Sensation] RestInPieces209:
None at all.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
Well sense is not just the launcher I would like to do away with most of the bloat and just use the launcher...
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
See the Smiley at the end of my post. I was saying it in a joking matter bud. Don't get you panties in a bunch.
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
Not gonna happen. Plus, the Sense launcher sucks big ones. Just get an AWD/LP skin that copies it.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
Cheers bud.. My gripe was mainly with the buttons for the quick actions both left and right and the all apps button being white plain and boring and on an old tablet i could never get them any different.. But thats good to hear
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
Exactly what I did.

Just be carefull to this, something that happens to me, maybe not to everybody:

-when rebooting the Sensation, Launcher Pro, if immediatly choosen as the Launcher, may completly freeze. No problem if you have another launcher, just press the home button, use the other launcher to go to the app manager and kill Launcher Pro. Start it again and it works

- So since I've removed Sense (at least Sense launcher, as said above, Sense is not only a launcher but fully integrated), I got Android Mate beside Launcher Pro, just to use it for a few seconds before LP, when rebooting, thus avoiding LP to freeze, since LP may freeze only if choosen first as launcher after a reboot.

And like for adw, don't forget to go to Launcher Pro settings to set performances and memory usage. Once set to fast-cache everything, to scroll fast, etc, it's definitly NOT SLOW, just the default settings seem to be set for low range Android devices :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] schlouchy8:
I know on the fascinate there was a need to Odin a package using the atlas and a repartitions check in order to revert to a touchwiz rom. Is there a need to do any such thing through recovery or adb in order to go from MIUI/CM7 to a sense rom on the inc 2? Just want to be safe if I decide to revert to gingersense. Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] schlouchy8:
*Sorry wrong section... Please feel free to move*
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bangdrum:
Nope. I was worried to. Also came from fassy. No bs Odin. I'm guessing the files are already in mtd format which the fassy were rfs.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
no need, HTC doesn't do any crazy partitioning like Samsung. Just wipe/install and you're good to go
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] schlouchy8:
Haha that's a relief. Thanks for confirming :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tnez:
On a side note, how do you go back to a stock official vzn package? For like if I need to send the phone back to vzn or want to receive an ota?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] schlouchy8:
+1... I would like to know this as well. From what I've read there's no way to re-achieve s-on so I'm not sure anything can be done to get back to complete stock. I think you can just try to mask it with a sense rom that hasn't deviated too far from stock.

[Thunderbolt General] imanust:
I plugged my thunderbolt into my pc for the first time and tethered with pdanet and it went great. Averaged like 20mbps over 4g. When trying today I only get like 3mbps despite having the same signal strength. Whats even more odd is that when I perform the speed test on the phone itself im back up in the 20mbps range. Any suggestions? i'm running bamf 3.0
[Thunderbolt General] RunNgun42:
Dont use PDAnet. Cant you use the built in tethering option if you're running a cooked rom?
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
I would just like to double check if this is possible since I have never done anything like it before and don't want to risk my money.

But I found a place (Costco) that will sell me a Bell SGS2 unactivated and not tied to any account and I wanted to make sure that I can get far enough without a Bell SIM card to root it then using WiFi install the Market app to sim unlock the phone for use on Telus.

I am pretty sure I can but just would like to make sure that nothing strange like files get generated when Bell would first activates the phone, that I would not have. I don't even have any friends with Bell sim cards to use.
[Galaxy S II General] cue_32:
they're ready to go... nothing else gets added by Bell upon activation.
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
Thanks I was sure but since this is going to be my first time ever unlocking a phone or even getting a phone outside of a 3 year contract pricing I wanted to be sure.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
The SIM unlock isn't garenteed to work, but it took about 1min to generate the codes, and worked perfectly first time for me!
[Galaxy S II General] 0mega1:
CF-Root + Galaxy_S Unlock (market app, free) = Good to go for Bell/Virgin, took a few minutes total once I got mine home.

You will however, have an annoying yellow caution symbol on boot for a while.
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
Yep I have been reading a few threads and that was my exact plan.

I just wish I could of found concrete reports of Heimdall working under Linux for the SGS2 so I wouldn't have to drive to my mom's house to use Odin on her Windows computer.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
The people who make villainrom and the ninphetamine kernel use heimdall on linux with the sgs2
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
I tried searching xda and even just Google but could not find anything stating that so either my search terms are bad or I just unlucky. Either way I will take you at your word and at least try. Hopefully I wont wreck anything before a good backup and learning the differences in backup/restore compared to my Motorola Milestone.
[Galaxy S II General] shadowofdarkness:
Just wanted to thank everyone for the input, it worked out fine. I flashed cf-root with Heimdall then SIM unlocked with Galaxy_S Unlock.

Now to play with the new phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jthornton71707:
Is there a fix for this yet? The only fix I've found is rebooting the phone. But it still gives me the error after a day of use or so.

I am having a very hard time getting these two photos to work as wall paper for my android device. It only allows me the top half and I would like the whole thing. my phone size is 3.6 400x800. In about a week or so I will have the photon 4g and would like to use these pics with that phone as well. Could anybody help me?:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] theo80:
Use a ROM that allows for portrait selection of wallpaper. Or get a wallpaper that is 800x800 in size.
[General Questions and Answers] B-Real206:
Thanks, that is the only size I could find and when I get the photon 4g I won't be able to use a rom. Is that the only two ways. I've tried shrinking the photo but that doesn't seem to work either. I really want this as my wallpaper. so sad :(

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berserk87:
I'm about to get a X10 from a friend of mine, and was curious about what the best rom/kernel for the phone is.

So far it looks like cyanogen mod 7.0 is going to be the best thing I could flash it with, but it kinda bugs me that the camera doesn't work 100%.

I'm also hearing that 2.3 will be officially released soon, but knowing how my carriers usually operate with updates that will be 3 months till I see that.

Whats the closest thing to a vanilla android experience with full functionality?

or what Rom/Kernel are you using and why?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aval1392:
Wolfbreaks 009 isnt quite vanilla but is my favorite thus far. Has some new ported gingerbread features from achotjan and it's speed is unreal. I use it with the 3.62 kernel by goro, doomlords, and zkernel are all amazing. Just amazing all around, and if not that use erickwill's 2.1 ROM. When gingerbread comes out the camera drivers will be ported to gingerbread ROMs so you shouldnt worry about not getting a working 2.3 ROM
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berserk87:
good to know.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
If you're looking for some extra speed, take a look at Power To The People kernel. Overclocked to 1.2GHz, but might cause some instability, and fry the device if used for a long time.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berserk87:
I wouldn't want to overclock.

I don't see the point in doing it on smartphones, especially when the battery life is already low.

Right now im leaning towards cyanogen or ultima 4. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1095637

just finished rooting it, now im running titanium backup.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
Then for kernel you might want to check out zKernel-failsafe, no overclock, no underclock. Stable and fast. The stock kernel is slow.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NascarFastcar:
This has been happening for awhile and I know it happens to others. I believe it only happens when my phone is rooted (always happened if I kept my sdcard in while rooting).

Ive running offical froyo 2.2 rooted. Basically all my photos and videos (external sd) thumbnails become duplicated or even more. Theres still only 1 real image but gallery will display x3x4x5 of the same thumbnail. Does anyone know a permanent fix to this? Only way I've been able to resolve it is by deleting the thumbnail folders via my pc.

go to

manage applications, then touch "All" at the top of page.

scroll to Media storage and touch it

clear data and force close (clear cache may help too but I never had to do cache for this fix to work)

then reboot.

It should solve the problem.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
Hey guys,

i've a problem with my radio (wrong radio for the rom, high battery drain and so on, the same old story...) and need to flash another one.

my problem is that i don't have access to a computer within the next few weeks, so I can't flash it via fastboot like always. and it's really annoying to have a battery drain of 100-200mA/h...

my question is: there is a executable script for terminal emulator (like mkdir, md5sum and so on) called flash_image. it's included by default in some roms, but i can upload it if you want to.

i have successfully flashed things like boot (flash_image boot boot.img) and recovery on the fly using this method, but i'm unsure about whether i can flash a radio or not.

so can I flash a radio image (flash_image radio radio.img ?) with this method? or will it brick my phone?

cheers.

Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jess086:
best bet is to go to radio thread either here or in inspire thread which is great, get the p-zip file and ril file and download on phone. use astro file manager to check the md5 sum and then copy and past both to the root of sd card from download folder. boot into hboot, u may have to hit the power button in bootloader to switch from fast boot and wait as it finds the radio zip then press volume up button and install. once done it will ask u to reboot, do it. then go into recovery and mount system then flash ril if u need to
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flussen:
oh right... totally forgot the pd98img method.... thanks ;)

btw, i'm still curious if the flash_image method works or not

Sent out of my Free Candy Van.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jess086:
the thing is ive never hurd of anyone doing a radio that way so i cant tell u for sure. i assume that u r eng s off right? the radio flash is the most likely time u could brick the phone. so when there is a much easer and pretty much totally same way to do it with the zip i just wouldnt chance it. ive downloaded and flashed radios from just my phone along with almost erverything else and never had an issue. i also am not eng s off. never found a reason to need it

Above, instead of radio .png, I meant the PD98img.zip. Not sure where .png came from

Don't drink and post! Thanks again for anyone who may post an answer..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techlivezheng:
You can't flash radio from inside a Terminal App, it only can be flashed by the fastboot on a Eng s-off machine or *IMG.zip on any radio s-off machine.

It's because flash_image utility can only flash system partition, so we can flash recovery image with it, but the radio is not a system partion, it's in the system firmware.
[HTC Sensation] manish2039:
So i bought a Samsung phone which isn't that bad until i started finding out the faults! The problems that i came a cross were the fact gps was poor and so was the network, yet apart from that the phone is not that bad. nevertheless I am going to get a replaced for a sensation so is that good or a bad idea?

ps i had a HTC hd 2 before :)
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
You posted in a Sensation forum.Of course we are going to say its a great idea lol
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
its a terrible idea you have the greatest phone on planet earth and you wanna give it up?
[HTC Sensation] shadowboy23:
I wouldn't go that far calling it the greatest lol. But he has a point they are good phones. If your network is poor it night be the carrier itself. At least SGS2 is quadband 3G/UMTS/HSPA
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
None of us can speak for the things that matter to you. The things that make us love the device might not matter to you. Try it and decide for yourself.
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
its all personal preference. i would say that even though i have the sensation, i would rather have the SG2 because it seems like its more faster and the whole touchiwiz 4 looks clean. im not saying that sense 3.0 isnt clean and isnt fast, i actually love it, but in the end its all personal preference and its up for you to decide. i suggest you try messing around with the sensation before you switch
[HTC Sensation] saffant:
Even though i myself am a Sensation owner, i can tell ya the SGSII, despite the lower res and the tad inexpensive build quality/looks, it's still a lot better phone.

Probably your carrier. However if u still wanna go with the Sensation.. then by all means; it is after all your call at the end of the day.
