Check out the Sony dr bt21g http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DRBT21G-Stereo-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B000PCCLPA

been using it for over a year now and still performs well, battery lasts about 10-12 hours continuous playing, good sound quality, great build (friend sat on it once and it didn't break).

the mic is pretty much useless outdoors specially when there's a lot of noise around you, but good enough indoors.
[General Accessories] droid_does:

how about something for outdoors use as well?

Try the Plantronics Backbeat 903 (http://www.harveynorman.com.au/product/1256976452319/plantronics-backbeat--stereo-bluetooth-headset) in my experience, these are great quality and perform well indoors & out - that and the fact that they are somewhat unobtrusive... to the point air-stewards dont notice I have them on when they do their "dont use devices" crawl through the plane.
[General Accessories] droid_does:

I use the Jawbone ERA. Good sound quality and I quite like the motion sensor function (so I can double tap to recieve calls or hang up).

If you want something stereo, try looking at the Sony Ericsson MW600. It's basically a Bluetooth recieveing that you plug in your own earphones into.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
Hey,

I have extremely annoying issue on my Desire. Everytime I am opening an app there is a delay between tapping the icon and displaying app (full loaded screen of the app). Sometimes it takes 3-5 seconds. You can imagine how bothering it is. I found out that when I do full wipe it is great again but it takes less then two three days and lags are back. The biggest dealy has Handcent, Gallery, etc. Sometimes opening settings is laggy too.

Any idea how to get rid of this lags? I think it started some time after rooting my phone. Could be the problem the number of apps installed on a2sd storage? I have currently 106 apps.

I am really desperate! I love Android but this is not the user experinece I would expect from such a system and such a smartphone!!

I use GingerVillain 2.7 based on CM7. I used CM7 before and it was the same.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Do you use software like setcpu to control the cpu frequency or using scripts/software to control the voltage?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
I used JuiceDefender but I had this problem before I use it. There is also some performance settings in CM7-settings. Do you think the problem is somewhere in CPU settings?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
I don't think so. Given the fact that after a wipe it works fine, I'd put my money on your davlik cache. As it grows bigger in size, combined with probably low class sd card, it gets slower. You have some tips&tricks how to move davlik to /data in the development section. Or simply buy a faster sd card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
I have Kingston 16GB class4. I know that class4 is not the biggest number but I read that Kingston is as fast as some other cards class6 and that in fact it is not necessary to have so speed card :( This is a new want I don't really want to pay for another one...

Move dalvik to /data? Do you think this helps? And a2sd storage will work the same way?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Moving dalvik cache to internal /data partition often solves perfomance problems. That's why some developers do not move it to sd.

It won't disturb the working of a2sd, because has two different versions:

A2SD: All apps you install will be automatically moved to sd-ext

A2SD+: All apps you install plus dalvik cache will be automatically moved to sd-ext.

So when you move dalvik cache to /data, you are using "only" a2sd, but it's still working the same way.

But before this I would try wether wiping dalvik cache in recovery solves your problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
Oh. Thanks! I will try! But I am afraid that I tried an app moving dalvik in the past and my phone got extremely laggy and buggy. Maybe it was not compatible app with my ROM :confused:

As I said when I do full wipe (so wiping dalvik as well) it is quick several days but then it gets back to laggy phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
GV 2.7 - I have dalvik cache on Internal memory with Cm7r2 Hboot - no delays like you have, instead instant opening.

You can move it easily by using any terminal (I have better Terminal Emulator Pro).

Commands:

a2sd cachesd - moves Dalvik to SD

a2sd cachesdreset - moves Dalvik to SD, but firstly it wipes it.

a2sd nocache - moves Dalvik to Internal NAND.

a2sd nocachereset - moves Dalvik to Internal, but firstly it wipes it.

Personally, I prefer the "reset" commands.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devcager:
And when it is not enough space on internal??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Change your partition table. With aosp rom you waste almost 150mb on /system. That is one hefty davlik with 110 apps approximately.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bazrippa:
Hi guys, I wonder if anyone else has the same problem as me using Skype.

I don't have any issues with it over Wi-Fi but it is very choppy and broken over 3g and is un-useable.

Iv had the same problem with every ROM, kernel and Skype version I have used..

Do you think its an SGS hardware problem?, a problem with the app or a carrier fault?

I'm with UK T mobile and currently using the hacked video call Skype version for SGS.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] slaphead20:
At a guess its simply a matter of insufficient data speed :)
[HTC EVO 3D] smalltownbird:
I used revolution to get s-off and root last night. Is it possible to take the original ota so I can stop the nagging and have the newer hboot? Or will this cause me to lose s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXPCS:
You will likely have to root again, which isn't a problem. You could have taken the OTA a month ago. It's better to have your phone working 100% than crippling it.

Now that we have S-OFF/Perm ROOT..all will be ok.
[HTC EVO 3D] aixer:
Teamwin's recovery does not work to flash the OTA. Anyone do this with clockwork from the s-off load?
[HTC EVO 3D] 87Octane:
Why take OTA? If you have s off just flash a rom that is based on the OTA version. I would recommend that you never take an OTA now just incase.
[HTC EVO 3D] aixer:
Good point... most OTA will overwrite Su binary and patch the hole that allowed root. This OTA does not.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:

I'm with Three UK, will this remove the Three splash screen I see everytime I boot up and shut down my phone?
[HTC Sensation] Trekest:
One question - will flashing the RUU using this method (or by running it normally) revert the device to S-On?

I'm asking this for warranty purposes if in any case I'll have to send in my phone for repair.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
DEFINITELY if you install the unbranded 1.35.401.*
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Nope it stays S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Played with this process... pretty happy with the results on my TMOUS S4G. Haven't tested everything, such as the 4G radio, but I will report back.

Another step I think is worth doing if you're coming from ANY other ROM and would like to totally start clean:

After copying PG58IMG.zip to the SD card, shut your phone off. Pull the SD card out of it. Boot into recovery, and then fastboot over USB.

Issue this: 'fastboot erase system -w'

It will completely clear anything related to your current ROM. Now, shut your phone off again, put the SD card back in, and boot into recovery. The flashing process should begin as described in the OP.

Of course, before you do any of that, make sure you can get into clockwork recovery and do a nandroid backup. :-)

Update: Looking good. No '4G' icon, instead it shows H for HSPA. Don't really care about that... it works as it should. Speed tests showing 6586/1724 HSPA and 21415/4134 cable/wifi.
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
No, but it DOES change the hboot back from Revolutionary's hacked 1.17.1011. Redoing rev will put it back the way it was.
[HTC Sensation] astragreen:
lost cwm

After this i lost my cwm recovery :confused:
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Yep, you have to put it back. The RUU undoes everything except for S-off essentially.
[HTC Sensation] astragreen:
How put i back it again??? My cwm was from revolutionary...
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
In fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery path_to_cwm_file.img

Edit: You will probably have to re-run revolutionary; I did. I don't know if rev will offer the CWM again... give it a shot.
[HTC Sensation] astragreen:
ok thanks where did i get the cwm img file???
[HTC Sensation] astragreen:
i did re run it, but it says my ruu is not supportet
[HTC Sensation] binarybulge:
Hmm it worked for me using the RUU in the OP. Maybe it's because you flashed the ENG HBoot.

No worries though you're already unlocked. I tried to dig up the link to the CWM image they're using but I didn't have any luck. Check out their IRC channel #revolutionary and ask them for a link to the CWM image. (Be careful though they're getting a LOT of questions and will ban you if you're annoying or off-topic even in the very least...)

Edit: Got it...

[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
OTA?

Ok, so if the CID is left unchanged, how will OTA work? I mean, will it want to check the CID and fail because the unbranded OTA doesn't match the CID, or will it try to OTA to a branded version?

Is there a straightforward way to change the CID on the Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] mipepim:
Is it by debranding with laked rom, SIMLOCK 100% disappeared? Thanks

Sorry for my bad english
[HTC Sensation] Fritti:
Wow, good question, never thought of that. Then again, it is possible to apply an OTA as a .zip file so it might become "just" a wait for the right person to upload it here...
[HTC Sensation] alexp999:
From what I know, the cid is not checked for ota. It's based on firmware version. So euro unbranded ends 401.1
[HTC Sensation] rahiljnmc:
I tried, it debranded my phone to the RUU i chose to flash

BUT IT DOES NOT CRACKS THE SIM LOCK. Its still present on my phone :(

[HTC Sensation] Apache0c:
You forgot to actually remove the bloatware? Pretty sure that Debranding doesnt remove applications.
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
... Debranding doesn't remove the bloatware... Soon what did I do to my phone that is considered debrand?

Debranding removes all carrier customization, splash screens, carrier apps, market links, my Vodafone branded sensation even had their logo in the music player, and kept reinstalling a rescue app even after I disabled it with temp root.

[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
DeBranding made Easy

This has to be the most painless method of debranding there is...

Acquire S-OFF using Revolutionary (no need to root).

Install Android SDK on PC.

On phone, Reboot to boot loader, then select Fastboot from menu.

On PC, open Command Prompt shell and cd to your android sdk tools folder. At the prompt, type

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

You now have SuperCID.

Now install the appropriate unbranded RUU.

Note: Root is *not* required, ENG HBOOT is *not* required, extracting the ROM from the RUU is *not* required.

With thanks to ironeagle!
[HTC Sensation] alexp999:
If that enables SuperCID, is there a way to write it to an unbranded handset?

Its what I always use to do, on old SE phones.

Do we have a list of codes anywhere?
[HTC Sensation] potblack2win:
QUESTION

Once I have debranded my phone will I be able to update my firmware in future using the software update feature in phone.

also does that mean it will search for HTC stock rom and not branded vodaphone updates.
[HTC Sensation] Fritti:
Maybe there's a command to print the CID first? If so we only need someone with an original unbranded Sensation to run it.
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
I though "Debranding" was supposed to remove the bloatware added on from the carriers?

I also followed all the steps and I still have all of my bloatware on my phone. TeleNav GPS, Visual Voicemail, T-Mobile TV, Transfer, T-Mobile Mail, My Device, Stocks, etc..

So all it really did was bring my phone to factory settings.

It's a really simple process, unfortunately it didn't work for me using the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed file.

Also looks like it removes Super User access. bummer.
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
Thanks,

Just finished this process on a Vodafone UK sensation. This method sounds more future-proof to me than the longer method in the first post. I remember from my last phone (HTC Legend), that a load of users who de-branded later got bricked phones when HTC suddenly made the Froyo OTA update check for valid CID.

Came across problems with Android SDK (AdpWinApi.dll error) which can be resolved by reading this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=781386 and following the post by espanten.

Thanks to everyone involved. Great work.
[HTC Sensation] Fritti:
Eh, did you run this RUU? Of course this is not removing the branding stuff, since you are installing a T-Mobile branded RUU....
[HTC Sensation] darkjuan:
So what should I run to get the bloatware removed? I guess I'll have to shop around the Sense 3.0 ROM's and see what's out there.

[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Try again. After 3 times it seems to work. From what I can gather it's meant to do all 3 steps (reboots) in one session but it fails after each step so you have to do them one at a time

It will then you already have root, do you wish to install CWM y/n?
