well, if you'd prefer to use the stock app for messaging, you can try SMS Backup and Restore from the Android Market [Link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore]

It has a backup scheduler feature, and you send backups via email. MMS backups are not yet supported though.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
I flashed the Glitch kernel...

this where I'm still a learning n00b...

I get the Glitch graphic when the phone is powering on but how do I know if this kernel is FULLY working? Or is it?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
If you get the glitch boot animation and your phone is properly running...odds are its installed fine, but you should go and grab voltage control from the market so you can overclock and under volt to gain the most from this kernel.

Voltage control will also verify whether or not you have the glitch kernel since it doesn't work with stock kernels.

As side note I also recommend grabbing cpu spy (also in market) to see what speeds your processor is running at.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrManiacNF:
I'm still a n00b too, but I'll try to help :)

well you're seeing the glitch image, so it is working. I can't remember if the lagfix is enabled by default, if so, then you really do nothing. If not, then enable it with clockworkmod.

What I usually do is download Quadrant from the market and run a benchmark. If lagfix is not enabled your score should be around 850ish, if it is enabled, you should get 1500ish score.

Hope this helps... which rom are you using? and how do you find it?

MTD doesn't use lagfix. Which the glitch kernel for vzw fascinate is only to be used on, mtd roms.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
I got everything you guys mentioned.

Ran the Quadrant thing, scored a 1784.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
I have CM7. I get the Nightlies daily.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageDieu:
Yeah it isn't voodoo lagfix, just voodoo sound and color. MTD runs better than voodoo ext4.

If you get the glitch boot logo then it worked, you're on glitch. To get the most out of it download Voltage Control and Voodoo Control from the market, voltage control lets you control the CPU and voltages to save battery and get performance customizations while voodoo control gives you some cool options with sound to enhance the quality of music and color to make the screen look however you want.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
Now I hit over 2,000. I have no idea what it means, lol.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrManiacNF:
It a benchmark.. quadrant runs a series of tests.. i.e. memory read/write speeds, cpu, graphics, etc.. the it gices a score on each test, combines them, and compares them with other phone models.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
I think I'm beginning to understand.

I went to the Voltage Control and jacked it up to 1700mhz and this phone basically flies out of my hand, and the battery life basically dies. So I lowered it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageDieu:
If you can do that without the phone messing up, you're on the right leakage. lol

The new glitch 12 release has some recommended setting you can try out.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
It's still beta, right? I want to wait until it's stable. Isn't that the best idea?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageDieu:
No, beta doesn't mean "it isn't ready for people to use" but just that it isn't fully 110% stable and still might have some bugs. It'll probably never be "stable" just because of the spotty hardware and other issues, but I've been on glitch since it came out and it has been perfectly stable. If you wait for an officially stable release you'll likely never get to experience the awesomeness that is Glitch.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4FatSno:
v12, like v11, has been rock solid for me as well.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
Ok so what level of leakage should I get??? Suggestions????
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordDenny:
Help me out, guys.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Start with high and with your way down in leakage and see which is the most stable or can handle the most overclocking...all phones are different and handle leakage values differently but i'm pretty sure that low leakage is the most efficient and generates the least amount of heat but some phones will preform the best and be the most stable on medium or high..experimentation is probably the best answer

hey guys. im tryin to put a file from my computer to my sdcard on my phone through adb and this is the path that im using

/Users/my name/androidsdk/platform-tools/adb push cm_supersonic_full-170.zip /sdcard/cm_supersonic_full-170.zip

and it keeps saying

cannot stat 'cm_supersonic_full-170.zip': No such file or directory

can anyone tell me what im doing wrong. i have the zip file in the platform-tools folder.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtLA:
It looks like adb may be looking for the zip file in whatever folder you're in when you run adb. You have the zip file in the platform-tools folder, but are you also running adb while in that folder? If not, try moving to the platform-tools folder and then running adb, or else fully qualify your zip file name.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quikswitch:
I do have adb in the platform-tools folder along with the zip file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khilbron:

The syntax error it is giving is saying that you are trying to push the zip to a folder on the sdcard called cm_supersonic_full-170.zip

i want to be able to get SMS on my HP Touchpad but so far you can only sync Palm Pre phones to it.

is there a way i can make it think im on a palm pre? can i change the build.prop some how?
[Vibrant General] KnowledgeBroker:
I am really thinking that a webos or touchpad forum may provide better answers since the question mainly involves what the webos can do.. I just can't imagine many active people that would be webos ppl but active in these forums. A quick google search and I didn't find anything that makes me think there may be any way to make them communicate directly, though I imagine you may be able to forward your texts, or possibly use a computer as a server that then communicates with your touchpad.. but I don't really know webos, and have no desire since I never thought it was a viable os(not trying to be negative, just realistic).

EDIT: Actually, I am curious to see if any of the android users here are knowledgeable about webos. I may have assumed it wasn't a desirable OS, but.. I could have been biased. The little I know is the frustration I have read about android devs have with webos hardware and that's it.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LeoBloom.:
Does anybody here experience poor GPS lock on with your Incredible 2's? I am coming from a droid pro which had no problem whatsoever establishing a lock, but the incredible 2 only seems to establish a lock after 5 minutes of having the google maps app on. The GPS status app doesn't seem to find any satellites out there either. I just got this phone from Costco and it's great otherwise but I want to know whether its this model's issue or if I got a defective phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seventystangfan:
Yeah mine	took about three minutes to lock on with navigation beta.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] LeoBloom.:
I also remember that my Droid Pro has aGPS but the incredible 2 doesn't seem to have such an option. Is it hidden perhaps and does it help?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] drcrawfo:
I was having the same problem of slow gps lock. I installed GPS Status & Toolbox from the market. There is an option to reset your GPS and redownload the A-GPS data. Immediately after doing so, I got lock in under 10 seconds.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zelmo88:
I believe there's been at least one Maps update which seemed to help GPS lock and corrected the compass direction problem.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Fusion.Coil:
My compass was always backwards facing when I got my INC2, quite annoying. The only thing that fixed it was the OTA to GB. However, now that I have rooted and dropped MIUI on it, I am back to the backwards compass.

As for the lock issue, I get intermittent issues with that. Some days, the gps will find my signal and bring up my location almost dead on, other days it puts me at the tower, still other days it doesn't find me at all, and once it actually pulled google maps all the way over to Portugal. Since rooting and flashing, it has been pretty quick to grab the signal and puts me pretty close to location - but with a messed up compass pointer.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
I am just outside of Rochester NY. Mine is working again. There was some kind of outage around here. GPS didn't work on my Inc2 or any of my friends phones for days.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] davewalker12000:
dinc2 gps trouble FIX!

After a couple of weeks out of country and using an extended battery with my Droid Incredible 2, then switching back I was unable to receive any gps data. After combing the net for solutions and nearly unrooting my wonderful dinc2 I remembered the antenna connections on the back cover. There are a total of 4 gold connections made for gps and radio and have wire receivers taped to the back inside cover. If you bend the gold connections on the edge of the phone back out towards the rear they will connect with the back cover and re-establish the radio connections for your gps. I tried that with mine and got a gps lock in about 5 seconds using Google maps and navigation.

Good luck!

[Defy Android Development] defw:
I open the thread in DEV because I haven't got convincing answer until now.

I found many junior ROM makers and users delete the system apps as many as possible to think it will bring a longer battery usage. I also listened someone got a faster battery drain after deleting some apps like DrmProvider.apk or others.

Could someone explain the real reason please?

Will the missed apps make the system try to read the 'file' again and again so the battery drain faster or some other reasons?

And as mentioned in the begining, deleting those apps that donot affect the system will really bring a batter battery performance?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] [] AL []:
I'm no dev myseld, but you might find interresting reading what I've recently posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16662568&postcount=10102

Don't take my words for it, but you can always delete apks one by one and carefully watch the logcat verbose to see if the system posts any strange behavior after doing so.

*** I take no responsibilty for you doing so - and do it at your own risks! ***

For sure deleting an apk that is needed by the Android system could make the battery usage worst; DRMprovider is probably a good example of a mandatory app - unless someone never listens to any audio at all.. I don't know the specifics for every error and what kind of energy the system would put into solving a bug related to a missing app -is this really important anyway?

I've deleted 30 apks myself from the system/app directory from CM7 and I did not see any drawback in doing so. Most of them are apks installed by the gapps.zip so they are not part of my stock rom per say -hence: both the system and myself can live very well without them.

I don't care much about saving battery by deleting them as much as: 1- saving space; 2-preventing the system to ever have to read or generate thumbnail previews (or anyhing else really) for those apks and most importantly 3- seeing apks listed in my "running apks" that I've never wanted to start in the first place.

I'm sure that you've read the comment that states that task killers are not needed with Froyo because the system now manages the ram usage very well..but I still kill aps many times a day. Some might say they're just listed but not using resources; well fine! But how can they prove that? If an apk is loaded in memory, it might do an update (or what not) once an hour or once day; that takes battery - not much- but it does and if it is not needed then...

One other good example would be my xda apk: it is always listed under the running task even though I logged out and exited the program. Checking it out with an apk like Process Explorer clearly shows that it still constantly uses up to 3%of the cpu unless I kill it properly... So all this to say: removing apks might not save you so much battery but it might save you some task killing.

Bottom line is: if you're sure that the apk is not needed why have it on the phone?

Battery saving might very well be negligeable and no one can say it's the case for every specific apks. Again, I removed those apks because they're of no use to me and my system seems to live well without them. But it's your job to make sure that deleting stuff is not detrimental for the system and that is the dev part of it.
[Defy Android Development] crz6662:
Personally I use a Startup Manager kill anything or most anything that's listed that starts by itself including my xda app. Never understood why on the Defy there's 15 to 25 apps up and running when they're not being used. And why they start themselves. I don't need my music apps starting by themselves.Or Documents to Go/Equalizer/GPS Tracker/Maps, etc., etc. I'll manage my own stuff, thank you. I would think all those apps running in the background would affect battery life. I have also deleted some of the crapware. Seems to me battery life has increased and when I run Advanced Task Manager I'm only killing 5-6 apps instead of 15-20.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
Seems like the phone is rooted...see chainfire root thread in the development section
[Galaxy S II General] galaxyII:
if you have purchased it from Samsung stores or any online mode, you should take return it back for safer side

BTW The yellow triangle means the phone has been rooted

To removed that you can flash back the original secure kernel or buy a USB Jig which costs around 4 euros.

There is nothing to worry about the yellow triangle
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Actually, the yellow triangle means that a non-official firmware has been flashed on it, and has nothing to do with rooting.

As the above post said, if you bought it from somewhere as new then you really should return it as it's very clearly 2nd hand. If you bought it as 2nd hand, ask the seller about it. I'd love to see what rubbish they make up!
[Galaxy S II General] jon3sh:
I asked the guy where I bought it from he said he use Odin and some CFroot or something. when I open applications there is an app called Superuser so that means its rooted right? I just wanna know now if I can just restore stock firmware or just to get rid of that triangle. i will be using it with Bell Canada also it will be operational right even if that triangle is showing
[Galaxy S II General] nomnompie:
Then what he means is he flashed one of Chainfire's modded CF-ROOT kernels on it which allows root (and superuser). You can use Odin to flash the stock kernel back on and the yellow triangle will go away. However Root will remain. I don't know personally how to unroot but there might be a guide somewhere. Or you can just use Odin to flash an entire stock ROM back on which should wipe root.

(Edit sorry I'm an idiot) THIS is chainfires link with the CFROOT kernels, this is what the guy you bought it from did. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

It has instructions for flashing CFROOT kernels. Flashing stock is the same. I thought there was a thread with stock kernels too somewhere but I have to look. Sorry I'm at work now and scatterbrained.

Thanks for the heads up but it looks ugly for some reason, Mm I still haven't decide which one to get tho
[HTC EVO 3D] simmer down:
it's only $18 on overstock.
[HTC EVO 3D] Marty:
Even though it is more expensive, I prefer and would purchase the Seidio kickstand case over this one (looks more professional IMO). Truth be told though, neither of them are suitable for me. I don't understand why all these kickstand cases have this one giant cutout in the back of the case for the entire camera module instead of just smaller, precise cutouts for the cameras and flash like some of the TPU cases (the smaller cutouts provide way more protection for the phone IMO). First manufacturer to make a case with a kickstand and just precise cutouts for the cameras/flash (instead of just one large cutout) will get my business (though I have a feeling I will be waiting a while for that). Until then, I will continue to use my case from tpu-cases.com, which with the exception of the lack of a kickstand, offers the best value and a good balance between protection and not adding too much bulk (at least IMO).
[HTC EVO 3D] PRELUDE777:
watch the video full screen hd. I think this's the best quality kickstand case out there IMO. why would you need a small cutouts for camera and ect? it's got G glass back and front, I honestly can't understand what in the world you have to do with the phone to have it all rapt up.
[HTC EVO 3D] Marty:
I don't know why people think that just because a phone has gorilla glass that its going to stand up to everyday wear/tear/scratches. I've seen numerous threads where the screens of phones with gorilla glass get scratched up just by putting the phone in the same pocket with keys, change, etc. As to why I want the smaller cutouts, I think its only logical that a case that covers up more of the phone is going to offer better protection than a case that covers less. I'm very careful with my phone (gets dropped maybe once per year if that) so while gorilla glass is a step up from regular glass, its no substitute for a proper case. However, if someone doesn't mind using a case with that large cutout in the back, that's their choice, but its just not my personal preference.
