[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I left stock due to the horrible battery life and bugs. I have ran BAMF since I got the t bolt shortly after release and it is much better than stock in every way. I have tried almost all roms but all others besides BAMF have either had bugs or just didn't have the performance and battery life like BAMF. The only problems I've had with BAMF stripped and remix up to 1.8.6 are problems I've had with every sense Rom including stock, only the asop roms have fixed these minor bugs but they had there own cons that (for me) were worse. I'm not sure what you guys are doing to think stock is best but it is one of the worst roms available for the t bolt, yes some roms have bugs but several do not. I used to get 2 hours with constant use, and 6 hours of battery with minimal use on stock, now with the same settings I get 4 hours of constant use and up to 18 with very minimal use on BAMF.
[Thunderbolt General] EchoX860:
I was going through the same issue. I ended up reverting back from M0N0LITH to INFUS3 and then back to stock and then back to INFUS3 again. While I do like the 4 App Drawer and having my stock voicemail work. I couldn't get past the horrible battery life
[Thunderbolt General] lije927:
I understand where you are coming from OP. But I just couldn't stand how Sense makes the screen transitions laggy. I went to CM7 once it was stable and turned off wallpaper scrolling and now it has a great frame rate. And as far as radio issues and the like I have had no problems. So it just boils down to what rom suits you I suppose.
[Thunderbolt General] iastonish:
There's more to it than just the kernal. Alot of roms debloat and trim down the framework so the rom itself is lighter.
[Thunderbolt General] DNak206:
Did not expect this type of feedback, thank you all for the input. I guess I learned I'm not the only one frustrated but I obviously haven't given all the GB (or Froyo for that matter) ROMs a good try before concluding I wanted to go back to stock. Running Synergy now and if it isn't MMS issues, it's BT Phone functionality I lose. Constant force close on accepting calls is absolutely a deal-breaker. I will give DT a whirl and then CM7.. If those both fail, back to stock I'll go.
[Thunderbolt General] movielover76:
Best rom

I've had the best luck with chingy's gingeritis, it doesn't tweak the system to much, which imho tends to lead to instability, (I think it's the melding sense 3.0 into synergy that makes it slightly unstable, I was running that for a while) he's not on xda anymore and I don't think I'm allowed to post the link but a quick google will find it
[Thunderbolt General] RunNgun42:
I feel your pain OP. I was perfectly happy with Froyo stock, but Verizon kept trying to ram their update down my throat 10x per day, which would remove the mobile hotspot feature. So I finally flashed a new ROM to make it stop for good. I really love the new Synergy rom, but it does have its issues. A few force closes here and there, but what was more alarming was some of the system hangups. I started charging my phone around 7pm last night, and when I went to bed at 12 I notice that the backlight was on. The phone was frozen, warm to the touch, with the backlight on at full power. This cant be good for the device, especially displaying a static image. Who knows how long it had been like this, 1 hour? 4 hours? I had to do a battery pull to fix it.

I would never have flashed if I could just get verizon to stop trying to force my phoen to update. Even the reject option didnt work, as sometimes I would just find my phone halfway through the firmware download process! It was going to install all by itself it seems.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
One of the advantages of going back to stock is no longer being addicted to your phone. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to just use the phone as is, no checking xda multiple times a day for updates. Not worrying if that fc I experienced is related to the rom, kernel, radio or whatever. Stock has its disadvantages but boring is simple. Some people don't have the time to be consumed with such things.
[Thunderbolt General] :
His ROM is the first one I've use for about 2 weeks straight without the need to flash something else. It's amazing.
[Thunderbolt General] thinkncode:
I loved haveing rooted phone on my 4g. But when I saw the new interface on the 3d I had to have it and I don't want to root my 3d. So one suggestion which is what I've done is with Sprint I added the hotspot feature to my plan. And use my rooted EVO 4G for roms and development. It will also give you to cool feeling that you have to advanced pieces of technical in your pockets. I'm not a kid its a way to have fun. So If you have sprint and willing to pay the extra $30 then keep your rooted phone by a new one keep it stock use hotspot. And have fun.
[Thunderbolt General] CharliesTheMan:
You should really check out the new uber BAMF. It's an amazing ROM, runs REALLY good on stock speeds and is super smooth and fluid.

It's very customizable to in the settings you can swap from a 2.1 ROM to the sense 3 with carousel rosie

Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.
[Thunderbolt General] swamp2:
Good topic and encouraging posts as well.

I'm still sitting on the out of the box ROM and unrooted. I'm not a phone noob but I do like to use my phone more than "fiddle" with it. Perhaps that is just semantics though... I've read a ton about many of the available ROMs but most seem to have some (IMHO) show stopping bugs (camera(s), GPS, WiFi, radio, BT, etc.). I'm certainly an early adopter in some ways (no where close to some of you hard core flashing addicts...) and am quite keen to try out GB on my device. At the same time I'm not prepared to pour a lot of time into an "upgrade" and then regret the decision.

My dead stock phone is one of the most reliable I have owned. My only major complaints are the slow GPS lock and occasional problems (temporary loss of data) when switching among various data sources (3G, 4G and WiFi). Of course I would like to get rid of ads in free apps and have free tethering. Based on my requirements I think a root and use of a basic debloated ROM should fit my needs well.
[Thunderbolt General] racedog:
I'm one of those going back to stock unrooted with the new leaked gb RUU. It was great fun but I use the phone for serious business and its clear that VZW is in the process of working out ways to track down rooted users. I don't need issues when doing business and I need it to be clean.

I need the phone to be useful, working and reliable when I need it. The rom train was fun but its time for me to hop off, at least for now.

R
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
They aren't so concerned about root as they are about tethering. I would wait for the official ota if you're considering getting out of the rom game. I believe this latest leak still has issues with voice mail notifications.
[Thunderbolt General] xTFGx:
just change the camera resolution to 8MP and it will work flawlessly.
[Thunderbolt General] xTFGx:
try DroidTH3ORY'S ROMS they are the best ever especially AOSPTH3ORY
[Thunderbolt General] swamp2:
Until I can get multiple folks to confirm to me that a given ROM is more robust and reliable than the stock ROM I'll probably simply go with a root/stock ROM with debloat.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoCalMario:
The phone has a "remove 3D" feature for photos but not for movies. The only way I know how to do this for video is to upload to youtube and watch online since it lets you remove the 3D off of videos. But how can you remove already recorded videos in 3D to play in 2D? Maybe there is a but what am I missing. And before you bash me, I have done a search everywhere on this topic and I cannot find the answer.

Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Not gonna bash. There isn't a function for that for videos on the phone. Well, there is for small ones I believe. Like if your going to mom's a video to someone. I think it asks if you want 2d or 3d. But a regular 3D movie is too large.

Is that what you meant?

Are We Not Phones?

We are EVO.

ARE WE NOT PHONES?!

3DEVO!
[HTC EVO 3D] SoCalMario:
Well you see, I recently took a trip to Mexico (various places) and I could not help taking 3D video of various natural places I went (ie water falls, huge rocks, canyons things of that nature) But now that I am home, I would like to convert that video back to 2D for playback on my non 3D tv to show the family. There is no feature on the phone to convert the 3D video to 2D like with the pictures. Right now my only option is to upload the video to Youtube and play it from there because youtube gives you the option of taking the 3D off. When I play the 3D video off my PS3 or from the EVO 3D streaming feature, you see both left and right video. Makes it hard to watch.

Thanks for help.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Oh sweet.. did you happen to actually upload any of the 3D versions to YouTube? Link if you did!

In terms of doing this from the phone. No, not possible. But there is PC based software that can so it. http://stereo.jpn.org/eng/stvmkr/ try that, I saw it in my searches for video conversions. Obviously not convenient. :-\

Honestly, I don't see why this feature isn't just available. Its just removing one of the images from the video. Can't be that hard to do that right?!

Are We Not Phones?

We are EVO.

ARE WE NOT PHONES?!

3DEVO!
[HTC EVO 3D] SoCalMario:
I wonder if that PC software will work with the mac..... I did post a few videos when I had wifi in parts of mexico. Here is the link to one of my videos. HERE the videos from your EVO 3D.

Thanks for the tip!

Enjoy
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Just play the 3d movie in galley, while its paused or playing, click the screen, click the 3d icon on the top right and it plays in 2d.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
.....

oh my god. :D

no **** huh?. apparently if it's recorded from the actual phone, it's as easy as hitting the 3D icon in the upper right hand corner.

I kept doing it with stuff I converted and it would come back as a SBS video. I feel retarded now.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mdickyb:
I am new to WP7 from Android. I was worried about it's lack of customization and settings but must say I have already grown to love its simplicity.

A few things bother me though:

LED does not indicate any missed messages (maybe calls but have yet to miss any)

When hanging up a call a loud tone comes through the speaker

The keypad lights only illuminate when they're being pressed.

Are these bugs that I will have to deal with or are fixes available?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
well, if that is all the problems you have noticed with running WP7 on your HD2 then think yourself very lucky ;)

but seriously now, there are issues with WP7, and the chances of them getting fixed are slim, the things you mentioned are relitively small compared to the touch screen, battery, camera, volume etc, but even with all of this, i still find the HD2 with WP7 on it quite remarkable, ill not be changing back to android.

So the answer to your question is, at the moment, and probably for the foreseeable future, your going to have to live with it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mdickyb:
Thanks for reply and the heads up on what else I should look out for. Not had any problems with touchscreen so far. Not really tried the camera but I had the green tint issue on android. External speaker volume seems very, very loud. In call volume however seems really quiet. From what I have read a couple of registry tweaks can help with volume. Had better battery life trying a NoDo rom but using Green Mango at the moment. Perhaps I could try a different radio? Any

recommendations. I don't really want to go back to Android, its so cluttered and unorganized in comparison, so any tips and tricks would be much appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
ive not noticed a difference between radios, there is a couple of tweaks you can use to help, first is to restart your phone before you set it to charge, then when it thinks its charged, restart it again and charge some more, quite a few folk who complained about very poor battery life simply didnt have a fully charged battery

another tweak that has had some success is to fully charge using teh above method, then use the keys to get the camera open, turn it on to video recording, then hit the home button, that for some unknown reason seems to reduce the standby current draw in some situations.

[Nexus S General] Klk450:
I gotta say.... what a beautiful device.. So light, and the screen so much better than my previous device the HTC Evo which ain't that bad of a device, but the screen is phenomenal.
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Nice you like it, but what make you choose this over the 3d? If I can know
[Nexus S General] LowQue27:
Ice cream sandwich
[Nexus S General] Klk450:
THIS, and that i don't want a phone too big, so the Nexus S is just the right size.
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
I just got one as a replacement for my EVO 4G as well. I chose it for a few reasons, but primarily because on my old EVO (before I had to get it replaced) I was running Deck's EVO ROM which was basically AOSP modified to look and work just like stock 2.3, and I really liked its simplicity while remaining fully-functional.

Now using it on the Nexus, it's a marked improvement. I don't really care about dual-core processors and what-not with my phones. Not having Sense by itself makes it worth have one core to me, frankly. ;)
[Nexus S General] Klk450:
I was thinking the same thing.. lol i also love how smooth it is, but if i ever do miss the sense widgets, I have Launcher Pro, and Beautiful widgets.
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
I never used the Sense widgets anyway, so it's no loss for me. And I hated the dialer, though I seem to be in the minority on that one.
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Well I'm asking cause I got both and I can't decide which one to keep nexus s screen is really nice and the camera is OK but no 720p I got a 32 micro SD card but I can't use it here and I don't know if this one will last me a year, root is easy and I got both rooted, the qhd is nice cause you can see more text while browsing xda which I love, but the evo won't get updates as quick, I'm really trying to figure out which one will be better for me but I'm having a hard timetrying to decided. Games seems to play better on evo 3d and battery sees better too, idk is hard :(
[Nexus S General] scmurphy13:
I'm in the same boat. I've got the T-Mo variant of the Nexus S and I've got a Sensation. Not sure which I want to keep at this point. I like Sense and I like the qhd display, but I also like the simplicity of stock Android and I really like the SAMOLED display. The Sensation isn't a whole lot faster than the Nexus, and when it comes to updates, we know the deal there. I switch back and forth, but I'm getting tired of doing that.
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
At least you can swap sim cards I need to call sprint everytime :( the evo 3d has great development support but no cm7 or miui, if I had cm7 I would be definetely take the 3d , and yeah sampled is great, sense 3.0 is amazing but no enough IMO, the screen density on evo 3d is good too
[Nexus S General] pitmaster:
Hated sense.....hated dialer.....don't use Widgets.....love my Nexus S 4g......do miss the bigger screen though .......

ahhhhh...........gone todash..............
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Yeah screen is definetely a plus for 4.3 inch devices :)
[Nexus S General] scmurphy13:
I do use the wifi calling a lot on the Sensation.
[Nexus S General] LowQue27:
I do miss the wifi calling.
[Nexus S General] scmurphy13:
T-Mobile sucks at home and at my job. I pretty much rely on wifi calling when I'm at those two places. I don't know. I'm leaning towards the Sensation. I might just hold on to the Nexus S for when ICS comes out.
[Nexus S General] Klk450:
I feel you, at home my reception sucks but luckily, I use wifi, I'm Loving my Nexus S 4G although my 3g sucks. Plus this phone will get ICS first.
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
My 3G has been comparable to my EVO, so I feel no loss there. My reception sucks at home but it does on every network; Sprint gave me an Airave to resolve that problem.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
Hi Guys,

I have been working on a storage widget/app for a while now focusing mainly on the XOOM.

As I am nearing a market release I would like to test its compatibility with your Iconia tablets for which I have been working on support.

The support is preliminary and is as of yet untested because I don't have an Iconia.

I would appreciate if anyone could test it and provide screen shots of the app and widget and if there are any, logcat error logs.

I hope you enjoy the application/widget and I look forward to sorting out support for you guys!

Don't mind the image above, it's out of date but it's just there to give a little idea and visual.

Screenshot

​

So, I have attached a special build that should work for you guys on the Iconia - One thing I will point out is that when you add the widget, read the name carefully, the one for your device says "Acer" in the label. Enjoy.
[Acer Iconia A500] otto888:
Very nice. You should allow custom paths. As you can see my post says that I posted from the Xoom. I'm using a Xoom based rom. And external SD does not show up in the widget.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
I used to have custom paths but decided to remove it. I may put it back at some time in the future.

Can you find out where your memory card is mounted on your xoom based ROM and ill look into it.

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
Nice idea.

The colors of the widget arebhard to see on my backgrou d.

The widget sees my sdcard, but i can't select it in the app.

good work! nice app! :D

work fine on my device
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
works but does not see external sd-card. the path on iconia is /mnt/external_sd

in fact you can just look into /mnt, there you will have all volumes including usbdrive and usb_storage.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
What, all of the colours? What background are you using?

I know they are in /mnt/ that's why I asked you guys to tell me, I don't have an Iconia, I have a xoom :D

Does it not show up in the app, or the widget, or both?
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:

I have made some fixes that might help, new version will be attached to OP.
[Acer Iconia A500] verdigny:

Widget:

OK

USB: NTFS(DriveMount): Not present

App:

Internal Storage: OK

MicroSD Card: OK

USB: FAT32:OK

USB: NTFS(/mnt/sda1/ - DriveMount): NOT SHOWN

EDIT: First time, I loaded the ASUS version :o
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
No problem, as for the ntfs mount, if you mount it at /mnt/usbOTG it should show up, if you can't change where its mounted I can look at adding support but I can't keep addind mount points for every app that mounts somewhere, maybe I'll look at reintegrating custom mount points.
[Acer Iconia A500] verdigny:
usbOTG

Sorry, but I don't know what "usbOTG" is. :o

I don't think we can choose the mounting point with Drive Mount.

Thanks for your efforts.

PS (Off topic): What is the différence between "usb_storage" an "usbdrive" in mnt?
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
No problem, usbOTG is just a directory that the appliation supports already for external HDD, if you can change drive mount mount point that would fix it.

As for the two directories usbdrive and usb_storage I don't know, do you have several connection inputs on your tablets? One is obviously for a USB HDD, the other i'm not sure. USB pen drive? Maybe if you have a hub?
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
usb ports/mounts

The USB drive is a micro USB port used for mounting,connectiong you tablet to computer or device.

The external USB is a full size port.this supports drive and devices.the USB drive I think is connected to main internal storage only.

Hope this helps.

Lame blonde chic here

Thanks for the nice app. Works perfectly for me. Stock 3.1.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Does everyone get the same amount free in the widget as in the app itself?

My numbers:

Widget: internal 6.73gb/12.71gb

Microsd 13.71gb/29.81gb

App: internal 5.99 gb/12.71gb

Microsd 16.10gb/29.81gb

The widget numbers are what's wrong, going to settings and storage the numbers match the app numbers.
[Acer Iconia A500] ix3u:
I love this widget. But.... It would be nice to be able to choose some settings. Since I'm running the xoom rom, that is the option I have to pick for my numbers to be right, but I would love to be able to pick one of the other two and just direct it where to look to male the read outs correct
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
That's interesting, they use the _exact_ same code for deleting the space so It's strange that theyre different. I'll look into it.

I have released SE Widget on the market which aims to do that, and it will likely replace this build. "SE Widget" aims to be customizable to be able to run on any device without a whole bunch of widgets. At the moment it can have Data, Storage and a third set to a location of your choice.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
Alias_Neo, I figured out the problem. The widget and the app are not reporting the same info. The widget is reporting used/total memory while the app is reporting free/total memory. At the time I was close to 50% usage so thats why the numbers were close but not the same, after adding some more files I figured out what was going on. You were just reporting different info. I just thought the numbers reported were the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] alias_neo:
I see, that makes sense, can you tell me which build you are using because the latest (T4) which is after 16 beta builds and 3 RC builds should have that fixed.

Bit new to samsung phones. . .and didnt venture into rooting etc when I owned my HTC hero :rolleyes:

my current kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100BOKF3-CL255512

Build GINGERBREAD.BOKF3. . .Is this newest firmware without rooting??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
LOL, you have KF3, why you bother for KE7, which is an older version?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILS_SuperNova:
As i say Im still new with it all . .. so is KE7 older then my current firmware??

Meaning I'm running current firmware without rooting of course. . .

When will 2.3.4 be out?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Of course KF3 is newer than KE7 sir.

If I am not wrong 2.3.4 will be out within this month.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] granilith:
Just to clarify, even if 2.3.4 is released at some point this month by Samsung, based on T-Mobiles previous performance with updates its unlikely that a update for T-Mobile branded phones will be available anytime soon.
