I have this phone since 2months only,it is pretty new...some one mentioned that there is a bug in Mik's Cm7 that causes this issue.To take to to the service centre i have to go back to the stock ROM .. flash oldbaseband ectra ectra..long process :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teddybig:
WAIT. Ciaox has a button remapper u can use. I mapped power to search. But that depends whether u use the search button.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] razorxcd:
Yeah but how do i switch off the phone if the power button is mapped to search?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teddybig:
Press and hold it? But you can't turn it on when off...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] razorxcd:
^ so what is the use? the problem is i to have press the power button for a long time to get the shutdown menu... it doesn't appear sometimes and to turn it on i have to struggle with it :(

Christ. Either fix your lame fingers in case the problem is there, or take the phone for repair. What is the problem with that?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DJBhardwaj:
Thats a GB source bug :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dr.notor:
The lame fingers? Did not know I could patch them... :D This worked just fine on v20a and v20g, sorry, do not intend to flash any others ATM. Also kinda missed the flood of complaints about people unable to turn off their phone with GB on LG FB pages. Must be a well hidden bug for sure.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] razorxcd:
Lame fingers eh? you love bashing people around you,don't you? :D

Anyways,my fingers are intact i am pretty much sure its either the GB bug or phone's fault, i just wanted to know which one out of the two.... Doctor;)

Umhmm, then i'll go back and see whats what.. if it prevails then i have no choice other than going back to the LG service center.. :)

Can anybody explain how android handle multitasking.How such a famous OS is poor at mutitasking?For example when iam using stock browser with stock music player running in background,iam not able to use other apps like webster dictionary or xda app.Everytime one of the task gets automatically closed..So kindly explain how android os closes apps without permission from user? or before closing why dont android warn user to manually close the task according to piority.I think even symbian can do better multitasking than android.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] androiderrr:
No expert to comment????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theos0o:
It's due to low RAM.

When there's low amount of free RAM, android will kill some running apps to free up some.

I don't really know more details, but you can tweak this behavior using RAM scripts or your own lowmemorykiller values.

I think ~1GB of RAM (like SGS2) will be really good for multitasking, but SGS1 RAM is a bit low. :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ccrows:
As much as I want to get a SGS2, the battery life on my SGS with a 1650mah battery is too good to pass up right now.

Plus the SGS2 is too big of a form factor for my liking.

Honestly if the SGS released the exact same identical form factor successor with 1gb on board, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I also have a Motorola Atrix, but I ****ing HATE Qhd! Sure the ram makes this phone much snappier, but the small text is a PITA that is almost a deal breaker for me... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
Doesn't the SGS 2 provide a better battery life than SGS without considering the extra battery?

For the Motorola Atrix, can't you try changing the LCD density or even the font size?

Anyone have any luck with printing to a non-HP networked printer using your Touchpad? I have a Brother HL-2170W (because it was dirt cheap and effective), which supports PCL6, but my Touchpad cannot see it.

I read over at the Precentral forums of jhoff80 finding a config file and trying to turn the non-HP filter off with no luck.

I spoke with HP tech support. They said it only wifi prints to HP printers. Even with inputting the printer IP address it still did not find it. Silly limitation IMO as my 2 HP laptops print to this canon wifi printer.

Again, another reason to be excited for an operating system modification, ie Android
[TouchPad General] bobmcbobman:
The printing support is currently only for the newest HP printers. Our only hope for expansion will be from homebrew developers to add support for other printers.

Yep, ****ing stupid. I have the same printer as the OP and two Touchpads and two HP laptops. Guess which ones have no issues printing?
[TouchPad General] Nomedias:
Not so sure about only "newest" HP printers. With my touchpad, I am able to manually add and print to a 7 year old HP LaserJet 4200. Not sure if it would autodetect as my Wifi and printer are on different vlans, I have a router policy allowing them to communicate. According to what I've read, as long as it is an HP printer supporting PCL6 it should work. Also, snmp must be enabled on printer. Found this out attempting to print to an HP CP1525nw.
[TouchPad General] koch121:
I am not really sure about newest HP printer. I think you should talk to your HP customer care. Also, snmp must be enabled on the printer as well.

Hi, guys!

(I searched on the forum but I didn't find any answer)

I'm new here and I'm using a doixanh ROM, GingerDX (but I already used Froyobread).

So, some time ago I had a problem...I couldn't connect my device (Sony Ericsson Xperia X8) to wifi.

What I did? I full wiped the phone...and that fixed the wifi issue.

But now I have the same problem...I can't connect my phone to wifi anymore!

I could do another full wipe, but this problem would just appear again and again...

I googled for some fixes and I found some answers...one of the solutions would be deleting one file (dhct or something) from the phone...the problem is: I don't have that file...

Another guy said (on a youtube video) to download an "hot fix" package with 3 files and place them on the phone...but the link that he gave is broken and I couldn't find those files on the internet.

So...can someone help me fixing this problem...?

NOTE: Like wifi, my phone's GPS doesn't work too.

Thanks in advance!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryzor:
Hi. I'm thinking about flashing my first ROM on the Droid Incredible for my wife. She is having terrible battery life with her phone, and I'd like to try and help her out. I really am not looking for much though. My order of prefs are:

Stability > Battery Life > Performance

Mods and tweaks and things of that nature are not really a huge concern for me. I just want everything to work well, and have great battery life. I'd love to hear some suggestions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kratz17:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Nobrainer, the newest leak 2.3.4. Its only sense 1.0, so it would be familiar to her, no lag, no issues at all, and the best battery life for me on any sense rom.

If ive helped you, please hit the damn thanks button!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'd go this route or something VERY similar to it. Just don't flash the RUU. Try to find a rooted version of the ROM.

As for AOSP, I've flashed about 5 different AOSP ROMs on my dInc and none of them have been what I'd call stable and reliable. I'm NOT a fan of any of the launchers and I do NOT like having to spend days trying to dig through the Market and threads trying to find the stuff to make AOSP do most of what Sense does right out of the box. My girlfriend likes AOSP... and I just can't understand why, but I'm always messing with it trying to figure out why it's restarting, being all herky-jerky, not responding, doing weird things for no reason... And frankly, I don't think the battery life is all that much better on AOSP than Sense.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I don't know what about CM7 or MIUI isn't stable or reliable? What doesn't work on those roms that works on sense roms? IMO, sense is bloated, slow, and outside of social networking (which I couldn't care less about anyway), adds no real functionality when compared to AOSP. Also, AOSP roms are infinitely more customizable than sense. For people that like to mess with their phones and make them their own (which being XDA, I'd think a lot are in this category), there's just simply way more you can do with AOSP, and better kernels too!

Again, some of this is just my opinion, but I fail to see how our AOSP roms can be called unstable or unreliable. It all boils down to personal preference but to say that AOSP is not stable or reliable is simply not a true statement.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
Going thru the miui or the cm7 nightly threads lately, it does appear that they also have their fair share of issues. The fact of the matter is, the leaked/rooted ota is very stable, very fast, and has great battery life. It also would have no learning curve for her and she could set up her screens to her liking with whats already familiar to her. Thats why i said no brainer. Aosp is nice, ive ran them all, but it really is just personal preference. Aosp battery can be just as bad if not worse than sense. I also found my self trying to make it look like sense, so now i use sense pretty much all the time. The diffrence between sense and aosp is preference and preference only.

If ive helped you, please hit the damn thanks button!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend the stock rom for someone that doesn't really mess with their phone that much and needs it to work without issue. I personally like to have a bit more control and feature additions. I mainly posted because it was being stated that AOSP roms were unstable and unreliable, and that's simply not the case. I have recently run CM7 nightlies and MIUI (current rom) without issue. I keep up on new features and bug fixes, and there isn't anything "buggy" about either of these roms. Pretty much the only things you're gonna be missing out on are 720p recording and tv-out functionality, but for me that tradeoff is well worth it considering the other benefits.

I can't really speak on battery life comparatively, because my phone hasn't seen a sense rom for more than a few hours since I got it, but I think the difference is mainly in the kernels. There are simply better options for AOSP (right now at least), the kernels have more battery saving features than what is available for GB sense. I see that they've gotten smartass working on the new GB sense kernel though, so I would think that would help. I imagine a lot of it also has to do with your accounts and sync settings as well, for example, I'd imagine if you had two phones (one on AOSP, one on stock sense) with the same governor settings and sync settings, battery life would be pretty similar.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
I would think your probably right on that. I personally have had no issues with aosp roms or any of the new gb roms. I run basic configurations with minimal apps and minimal syncing. I only install 4 apps, so i can get a rom runnin pretty good for what i need.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
OP you will be flooded with opinions going in all directions, it depends what you want. Pretty much any ROM here is noticeably faster than stock with better battery.

If you're looking something closer to stock, but faster and with better battery life than I would suggest Skyraider:

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1314

Agreeing with nivesout, Sense adds some bloat to your phone- but some people just like the UI and don't mind whatever minimal extra lag or battery loss they get from it.

CM7 is a great AOSP ROM and just in general one of the top choices here. If you get this then you should probably download Launcher Pro (from market) instead of using ADW, but it's up to you.

MIUI is more appearance based and offers lots of theming options, however the luancher that comes with it is not as smooth as other launchers (can always be changed like you can do with CM7)

All of these ROM's are stable and well polished.

I would also suggest that you use chad's incredikernel for a custom kernel (saves battery and increases performance) and also flash the latest radio because it's trending that most people get better battery and faster speeds with it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnyp1:
It seems like people are just reading his op title. Paragraph 2 states mods and themes are not what he is looking for. Its for his wife. If you go thru the new ota threads you will find people stating excellent battery life. The ota's are debloated and can be even more reduced with ti backup. His wife will have no issues with this rom, nor will she have to search market for apps, theme section for themes, install new kernels, yada yada ya.... The leaked, debloated, pre-rooted ota is a perfect solution for what he is looking for. Op, you can pm me if you have questions about which one to install.

@donnyp1 Thanks for your suggestion, and if you want to put your recommendation in this thread that would be great or PM works too. What you said is pretty head on, keeping it simple and similar to what she is already used to would be great. Just need to get that battery in check.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Div033:
The new OTA has given me the best battery life of any ROM I've used. However, HTC's kernel dislikes my car's Bluetooth module, so I'm back on CM7 for maximum compatibility till they or a kernel dev releases one that works with my car.

My vote is on the OTA. Fast, long lasting and very stable. As a second choice I say CM7. Only thing about CM7 is that she would have to spend more time setting it up.

The sense 2.1/3.0 and 3.0 roms still have some bugs and general performance issues without no real boon to battery life. Lockscreen and quick settings sure do rock though.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacrossjr:
Maybe I'm wrong but I was always under the impression that Kernel effects battery life not ROM. I have been going between CM7 Nighties and MIUI.US, with their kernel only get 6 to 8 hours. But if I use incredikernel with incredicontrol I get between 18-27 hours depending on use. Incredicontrol enables fast charge and sound boost, also allows you to set min and max volts. I'm undervolted min 750 and stable with CM7 Nightly 173. I loved Nils' Business GingerSense 3.0 but I personally decided I can't live without incredikernel, so I will wait until he releases a gingersense kernel.

[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
I'm wondering if this may work... :D

Please don't follow anything that I posted here, I'm just asking and would like to know if this is possible.

Read on and tell me what you think :)

Isn't the problem of installing OTA updates is the Recovery used by ClockWork mod? Why not just flash in the stock recovery instead of ClockWork mod?

I don't know if that is possible, but I'll just say what I see and tell me if I'm wrong :)

The PG58IMG.zip used for flashing ClockWork mod, contained an image called "recovery.img" which is basically available for those CIDs

HTC__001
HTC__E11
HTC__032
HTC__102
HTC__Y13
HTC__203
HTC__405
HTC__N34
HTC__304
HTC__A07
HTC__016
HTC__J15

So, my CID is HTC__J15, can't I use the "recovery_signed.img" in the "rom.zip" of the RUU to flash my old recovery? I can't see why it may not be possilble of creating a "PG58IMG.zip" and write in an andoid-info.txt with this:

modelid: PG5813000
cidnum: HTC__J15
mainver: 1.34.415.1
hbootpreupdate:0
DelCache:1

or just flashing using ADB the recovery_signed.img and we're done?

What you think?

Please gently tell me if I'm wrong, I'm just willing to learn and know more about this ;)

Thank you :)
[HTC Sensation] prank1:
You can flash

any

recovery through ADB using

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

where the file 'recovery.img' is the recovery file of your choice, which can be stock recovery, too.

You can get the update.zip from the OTA and use the option 'install update.zip' from custom recovery, I've never used this on the Sensation, but thats what we used to do back on the Desire HD forums.
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
Hmm....do you know if anybody has tried that yet. I'm trying to install the update and would have to flash a stock RUU to update. If this works, it would be so much easier.
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
Yes you can, absolutely. This is exactly what I did to get the OTA to work. I had CWM flashed so I created a PG58IMG.zip with the stock recovery image which i got from rom.zip. I then placed it on my SD card and booted in to the bootloader. Once stock recovery was back, the OTA update to 2.3.4 worked.
