This thread is ridiculous...

"You know what I like about Sense 3 ? It has very beautiful color !!!

You know what I like about CM7 ? It so fast and useful !!!"

You know what I like about MIUI ? It look so pretty and feels like an iPhone !!!"

Please, just be grateful for the versatility of our devices and to the devs still working on it, although it's getting old.

The rest is just personal tastes and doesn't deserve to be discussed...or polled...:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rauschkugl:
if you use this features it's ok but i never needed them. tablet tweaks are for tablets and i personally don't like my statusbar on the bottom. but this is all personal liking. i also never needed additional display or light sensor settings. sure it's good to have it implemented but i never missed it on other roms. and most of this are things that can also be done by a third party app. the only thing i would like to have from cm are the toggle additions where you can automatically switch off 3g when your connected to wifi and something like that. these are really useful but most other things are not really needed for a phone. at least i don't need them.

miui just looks like ios. it's still open source and who cares how the settings look when you installed another launcher? i go to settings once per month or less. and i think that they aren't bad on miui. you can find what your searching for very fast.

but as said this is all personal taste and there are enough developers to make roms for the tastes of every people, so there's no need to concentrate on developing one kind of rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arminvm:
Yes i do agree about not cancentrating on one kind...

But the features,i think are really useful,and lots of people are using them,i myself use lots of them daily.

By the way about being this discussion personal...,yes sure it is.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arminvm:
thank you very much :-)

althought everyone including me accepts that its really a personal thing, but i believe that it worth discussing because it will help us to have a more and more real and better HD2 Android...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InZoner:
Hello,

I have a problem with my NC. I am a CyanogenMod user so when CM7.1 RC1 came out I'd decided to install it.

Befor doing that I had CM 7.0.0. I had a problem with stable version 7.0.3 but I've restored my CM7.0.0 backup and continue to work with it.

So I've dowloaded 7.1 RC1 and intall it. After doing so only a Loadind screen appears at the NC and not CM was loaded successfully. So I've decided to create a bootable SD card - bootable-cwm-clockworkmod-version-3-2-0-1-recovery-sd-card. And to restore my last backup. Unfortunetly I couldn't finish the restore.

I don't know why but because I've had backups of my phone(N1) on the SD card I choose to restore some N1 backup on my NC. It was completed successfully.

It could boot properly with that restore so I've decide to wipe all cache and data and to install again CM 7.0.0. The install was completed successfully but after rebooting the NC was enable to start at all. Nor with a bootable SD card nor without it.

Any suggestions what to do? Another question I have is "Is NC have a JTag?" because I couldn't find any information about that.

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AidenM:
Your boot loader is screwed. The only way is to have a ClockworkMod sd card available, and wipe boot, system, data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats. Everything, in other words. Then flash the latest CM7 Nightly.

Ok guys, I've read a lots of posts of people having sleep problems with frx07.

I installed it and I didn't had them...in the very first days...

After something has changed and my phone never went to sleep again.

I've read lots of post trying to fix it (hoping that someone already found what was keeping the phone awake) but I didn't found anything useful.

So I tried to solve it by myself and... i did it.

Using getlogs I tried to diagnose the problem but it contained nothing useful.

I killed every process, uninstalled from /system/app the apps I don't use (like chinese/japanese IME) and I left running only "really necessary" processes.

PS show only few (system's processes) but the phone didn't go to sleep aswell.

(I can upload the ps results if you need it)

Initially I thought it was something I installed (because the stock FRX07 didn't had the problem) so I made a complete backup (of the sleepless system) with titanium.

I removed the data.img and I started "from scratch" without replacing kernel/rootfs.

The phone could successfully sleep again.

I did a total restore from titanium and the sleep problem appeared again.

I deleted data.img again, letting the system to create again an empty one.

As I said before the default data (empty phone) works and the phone sleeps.

I thought "if an app I installed caused the problem let titanium restore system data only (without restoring any user app)"

I restored system data only and... SLEEP PROBLEMS APPEARED AGAIN. :eek:

It was not an app I installed!!! I deleted again data.img.

I restored only GREEN items in titanium (that means only user-changed data like messages, apn, contacts, accounts, wifi, calls and so on) AND my applications (and their data).

The phone can successfully sleep now.

So..if you have a sleep problem:

open sd card and move titanium apk from andboot/apps/other to andboot/apps (in this way you will have titanium installed by default when you delete data.img)

boot into sleepless FRX07.

open titanium backup and make a full backup.

reboot into winmo.

delete data.img

boot into android (you will have a "just installed system")

open titanium backup and restore "user apps+data" and the green system data.

reboot android.

you should not have sleep problems again.

Now... it should be useful to investigate further and find out what system app DATA is causing frx07 to stay awake (because the system app only without data actually work).

Let me know if this works for you :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I'm not sure I can agree with you. I use TB to backup all the time, and use the batch features to backup every thing in addition to restoring everything... So I am questioning those results... I've never had issues with sleep - assuming I don't have GPS enabled or there's not some app screwing it up, honestly...

I'd have to say your experience was unique - unless someone else can reproduce these results, I'm going to say there's something else going on here...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] prexzone:
this orange light is killing me too n i really dont knw wat to do....i have to quetion ur #8 step thou...how do i reboot to android? never heard of that
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Eodun:
Ehh... shut off phone, boot WM, launch haret?

P.S: English is not my first language and I had trouble understanding parts of your post, hope that's what you asked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
I'm sure he means reboot the phone to WinMo, then hit HaRET to get back to Android.

You really should take a little more time compiling your posts. They are quite difficult to read at times... It would be appreciated, as others obviously have problems reading your posts as well...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] maff1989:
+1.. Haven't experienced this issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] LinoX:
Yes. Did someone with the sleep problem tried my steps? Did you solve the problem? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] LinoX:
If you don't have the problem then you don't need the solution and you don't have the possibility to agree. I have titanium backup too with scheduled backups. The problem is not in tb, I never said it, it's in FRX07 actually. :) I'm saying that there's something in frx07 that causes the phone to stay awake. (And trying step by step I found the problem to be related to some system app data).

You could say "you messed up your install" (I thought it too!!) but this "phone not sleeping" seems to be a

common

problem (so maybe I messed up but more likely there's something that's not working as expected and on some models or after some user operations the system "hangs")

So... If you have (or will have) sleep problems then you can try to do the steps I suggested to fix it. In my case it worked and it solved my problem it could be worth to try, no? :)

BTW: even the clockworkmod recovery restore problem seemed to be only mine.. lots of people said "it always worked, I'm using it since I was a baby".. but on some special conditions the bug was replicable and I fixed it.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Ok, so you messed up your install. Happy? :p.

I'm honestly not sure. Until it can be recreated, I'm going to have to err on the side of user err ;).

I'm honestly glad that you resolved the sleep issues on your device. I just don't think it's a very good assessment of the sleep issues (you never really seemed to pinpoint it?) and I don't think it's a very good solution for newbies to try. Perhaps if they've exhausted all other avenues and your solution works - then we do have a bug. But now let's try to track it down... where is this happening? Why is this happening? I have a feeling that something you have done has caused this, but there's no way I can be for sure... other than not many people have persistent sleep issues. If they do, it's pretty much always been an app/widget assuming they follow the rules on GPS ;).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Starfox:
One thing I just found: com.android.email has a MAJOR cpu hogging bug. If you have an exchange account set up and have it polling instead of push or manual, AND you have a situation where data is unavailable, it goes into this braindead malloc/free cycle that eats up CPU like no tomorrow. If you google com.android.email cpu, this is a known issue that has been unfixed forever.

Not sure how many of those having sleep issues have this setup, but I recommend anyone using email to access an Exchange server to set it to manual or push. You can check this bug by running top, and cross-check via logcat -v time where the pid for email is doing a malloc spam.

-- Starfox
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] LinoX:
That was not my situation. Before wiping the phone I disabled the automatic data-sync (sync on background) and I didn't have an exchange account set up. (but i's nice to know about this bug maybe someone could benefit from your hint) :)

[Omnia 7 General] feronovak:
I would like to know Omnia7 owners opinions on this phone.

All the reviews I read are reviewing Omnia 7 last year october/november/december.

I would like to know whether there are updates which solve most criticized problems with version used for review.

Also whether it is easy to synchronize Google contacts and emails, whether there are apps for navigation and other common tasks.

Thank you.

[Omnia 7 General] b16b:
only if you have the galaxy sii stay on android otherwise come to omnia7

no prob here with omnia7 i have march firmware and mango 7712
[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
If I had a chance, I would go back to Android in a blink of an eye!

WP7 in general is very slick and complete (more complete when mango arrives). But Omnia 7 has been a let down to me as a phone, not for its "smart" features but for its lack in ability to make clear crisp calls..

I had my dad and gf both get new androids (Galaxy SII and Incredible S) and they are definitely more customizable and have a large market of apps for everything. I borrow their phones for the day whenever I know important calls are coming my way.. and the fact that Samsung are failing to recognize the problem and act fast, sucks..

I am waiting out my 2 years contract rofl -.-
[Omnia 7 General] skycamefalling:
I switched from Samsung Galaxy SII to Omnia7 two weeks ago. SGSII is full of bugs and Android cannot compete with WP7 in terms of usability.

Android has every feature and function you can think of but only few of them are really working without problems.

For me, WP7 ist much better -even though the SGSII is a fine piece of hardware, the software sucks.
[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
I would have gladly gladly swapped with you :)

Because you have only been on Omnia 7 for 2 weeks, you may not have noticed any of the bugs and issues yet (or if lucky, wont run into them at all).

Because of the immense customisation capabilities of Android, there would be a few compatability issues here and there. But there is most likely a identical app that supports the particular rom, overclock, or launcher.

SGS and SGSII's display is much more vibrant than the omnia 7. Just need to wait and see how Mango can improve on this item..
[Omnia 7 General] UranusHertz:
I played with the SGS2 over the weekend and I must say I'm very impressed at the improvement over the Galaxy S. Display has very nice contrast and everything was smooth. Device was very light too.

However, I still hate the UI. Never could understand what's with the grid layout and the constant necessity flip between the home screen tabs for apps and widgets. And at version 4.0, I STILL can't set the Calendar week to start on a Sunday.

So I'm sticking with my Omnia 7, at least until Mango shows itself to be a failure (no Smart Dial, seriously MS???).
[Omnia 7 General] AngryNil:
There's some omissions in present-day WP7 that seem to be ridiculous. Come Mango, I would consider WP7 to be up there (or almost there) in terms of functionality.
[Omnia 7 General] skycamefalling:
No, that's not the point. I bought the Omnia7 at the day of the release last Autumn. Then I've used it until May, bought the Galaxy SII and gave my Omnia7 to my girlfriend.

After 3 months I couldn't stand Android anymore and sold the SGSII for a new Omnia7 (and some bucks spare, of course:p )

I've really tried both of the system for some time and for me, personally, WP7 wins :)
[Omnia 7 General] hungelt8:
It is not the right time switching to Windows Phone 7. There are too many fundamental functions not implemented with the OS. Also there are only few useful apps available on the Marketplace.
[Omnia 7 General] fzncloud:
My thoughts exactly. no apps, no solid games, no proper phone call ability eheh

If you get an android and are happy with it, then its all good. but if your not, there is so much room for modding and overclocking and customising.

With my omnia7, the best customisation i have is dark blue tiles lol.

I'm sure as mentioned earlier, when mango comes around, things may get better
[Omnia 7 General] fed44:
I have no clue how many games you play, but there are currently a lot out there. Most of the XBox Live games are good quality, the most popular from other OSs have been ported (like Doodle Jump, Angry Birds, ...). You can't exactly say there are no apps out there either. The main limit which is a bit sad is the lack of sockets (also sensors, will also be fixed) support which limits the types of apps available but this will be fixed in mango. I really don't know what applications you are looking for but im sure that some alternatives probably exist unless it is not available because of API restrictions, most of which will be resolved in mango. You could also always start developing yourself ;)

Now I know there are some features like wifi tethering which would be cool to have, but most of the modding and overclocking seems kinda pointless on a phone and you may just want to play one of the many great games out there instead...
[Dell Streak 7] TheNeck:
I was thinking about getting the Streak from Staples but mainly just for gaming, would all of you recommend it for gaming only?

I would love to get a Asus TF but for 1/2 the price and i only want to game with it, the streak seems perfect.

What do you think?
[Dell Streak 7] RavenSEAL:
If you're never to far from a power plug, it's really no different than any other portable gaming console but with more features.
[Dell Streak 7] TheNeck:
Do most market games run pretty decent on the streak, i was wondering also?
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Every one I've played runs fantastically; especially the Tegra Zone games, of course (not because they run any better, but because they're ususally a higher quality in terms of graphics and frame rate).

Basically, you can expect the S7 to run everything from the Market as well as any of the top dogs out there because they all run the Tegra 2 processor (XOOM, ASUS Transformer, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Atrix, G2X, etc.).
[Dell Streak 7] TheNeck:
Thanks for the info, you pretty much made up my mind to get one now. :D

Also anybody recommend any particular custom ROMS for just gaming by chance as well?
[Dell Streak 7] slayerpsp:
use strekdroid 1.3 for gaming you can overclock it. Just know that gameloft doesnt support the dell streak 7 sucks but you can get most of there games to work just use tegra based games i have 21 gameloft games on my streak all work perfect also if you root it you can use chainfire to get more games to work that dont support tegra chip set like Madden
[Dell Streak 7] TheNeck:
Sorry for the noob question, what exactly is chainfire? I googled it, but im still not sure what it is/does. Thanks
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I second StreakDroid 1.3, but be advised it doesn't support bluetooth, so no Wiimote+classic if you're using emulators. Honestly, though, you ought to be fine on stock. Just replace the homescreen.
[Dell Streak 7] sdelliott31:
Thas why I cant get Asphalt on the 7 like I can the 5. How did yu get th games on yours as I cant even see them n the market? Tegra games like riptide are swwweeet. Good ebook reader and movie watcher for netflix. If hbogo gets working then yesss!
[Dell Streak 7] slayerpsp:
i guess you can say i steal them but i have bought over 20 games from gameloft for my other phones so if they dont support it what am i to do.chainfire 3d emulates other chipsets so you can play games made for powervr and anderno on your tegra device

Hi,

I run my app on Archos 43 with firmware version 2.3.81. This app uses Wifi, after sleep it takes about 6 seconds to reconnect to the AP, is it possible to reduce this time? I already set static IP adresses and tried to use WifiManager.reconnect() after wakeup in my application. Keeping Wifi alive in sleep mode is not a possible solution for this issue.

Thanks for any ideas.

Best Regards

I haven't had much luck reducing the time it takes to connect. In fact it tends to vary based on what access point I'm connecting to. At work it takes a few seconds like you described, but at home I can connect in less than 2 seconds.
