[G2 and Desire Z General] evilcuber:
set cpu only overclocks to 1.7ghz when you actually need it, like when you are running graphics heavy apps or you are multitasking alot. it underclocks to 1.2ghz at times because you dont need 1.7ghz and only need 1.2ghz, this also saves battery life. if you want it to run at 1.7ghz all the time you need to set your governer to preformance. hope this helps :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You shouldn't be using SetCPU if you are on Unity. There is already an OC interface built-in to the ROM, and it works better than SetCPU.

From the Virtuous website:

Virtuous. overclocking daemon will automatically be disabled if an overclocking tools (such as SetCPU or CPU Tuner) is installed. Installing these tools is not advised, as the virtuous_oc daemon responds far more rapidly to screen state changes than any Android (Java) application.

But as evilcuber already mentioned, CPU clocking down when not needed is normal. The OC you are setting is a MAXIMUM, not a MINIMUM. You set how high it can go, but that doesn't affect how the CPU can clock up and down below that upper limit. If you want, you can set the minimum clock speed higher (or as evilcuber mentions, use a different governor), so its running at 1.7 GHz all the time . But you are just wasting battery life when its not needed. You might see some slight performance increase by running at max clock speed all the time, as it avoids any delays in CPU speed stepping. But the battery trade-off is probably not worth it.

Think of it as your car's engine revving at maximum RPM all the time, regardless of what speed you are actually moving at, or even when your car is parked. It makes more sense to just rev the engine up or down when the speed is needed. Not a perfect analogy, I know. But you see what I'm getting at?
[G2 and Desire Z General] evilcuber:
also if u want a gui, u can download the virtuous overclock app
[G2 and Desire Z General] nicolaibaun:
ohh i may not have expressed my self good enough.. i know about how the governors works (at least some of them), and the problem is that, i choose 1.7 Ghz, and quit the app, and then when i get back, the clock is adjusted back to 1.2 Ghz. maybe i should just uninstall setcpu, and let the daemon do the work?
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Ah, I just upgraded to Unity 2.35 today, and noticed the OC GUI is no longer packed in. Just find the file by using the search function in the Unity thread, to install the GUI.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
FYI you don't post questions in the dev section, you post them in Q&A which means questions and answers
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
But which governor?

I would uninstall SetCPU. As I already said, the Virtuous team does not recommend it. It doesn't perform nearly as quickly as the built in daemon. Install the GUI app, if you want to tweak the daemon settings. If the dev of a ROM is as clear about recommended something as they are with the daemon (vs. SetCPU), its a good idea to follow their advice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
Got the same problem with setcpu.

You should try what they say above.

I run unity 2.37 : use virtuous OC gui(virtuous overclock controller) with temp+CPU widget to monitor your speed, temps, mem, etc.

With the new unity kernel you can OC up to 2.0 ghz
[G2 and Desire Z General] jamgirl:
solid advice

wow thank you for this enlightening advice, you have answered all my questions i had in my mind about overclocking my android

I have the virtuous rom version 2.39.0 just 2 days ago on my mytouch 4g, i'm new to rooting & roms & still happy that i took this risk and rooted successfully i was contemplating on pushing my luck a bit further by overclocking it with setcpu but thanks to you and other experienced members in this thread i now understand a lot that i didnt know
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
You're very welcome. Be sure to click the "Thanks" button, if my post helped you!

Also, on Sept. 12, the Virtuous team recommended OC/UV Beater as a interface for overclocking the Virtuous OC Daemon. I've been using this recently, and it works great.

Just got my View yesterday so I'm still breaking it in.

Whats on your Flyer/view ?

Thanks guys.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kardain:
Here is what I use on a regular basis... See screenshot.

Stock ROM, unrooted. Using GO launcher (has to download it on my phone first and backup/transfer to the Flyer) with a honeycomb theme.

Not displayed, Dolphin Browser HD (mapped to browser button on lower right) , SwiftKey for tablets, Connectbot, and Mint.com's application...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] r0ck09:
Has anyone had luck installing some of the Tablet specific apps made for honeycomb via apks ? There's a few apps I'd like to try out. How about launchers such as launcher pro or ADW etc..
[Desire Themes and Apps] Oy of Mid-World:
Hi there,

noob question: I would like to make a skin for Sense 2.1 (Desire HD) using the textures from the stock Sense 2.1 skin. In my "system/app" folder I can't seem to find these however (I can find metal.apk, slate.apk, etc.). Can anyone tell me where to find the stock textures, or upload them for me? I don't wanna root my phone though.

Any help would be great. :)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] dirtmaster88:
Good news to start off the day :-) Hopefully more info will come later as the rest of the country wakes up, lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mhotep06:
Cool.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TheLoonyRebel:
Called my local Verizon store. They had no clue as to when pre-orders will begin for the Bionic if at all. Verizon on Twitter just told me they have no info and then directed me to vzw.com/bionic which leads to the page with the countdown clock. I just asked Verizon what the clock is all about... we'll see if I get any answers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brad003:
I see no clock...I'm taking your word for it! :-P
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GertBFrobe:

[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Anyone know how to take screen shot on Fascinate? I know I have done it before, saves them in gallery! Lol
[Fascinate General] ccampos784:
Hold down the back button and the power button at the same time.
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Ahhhh ok. Thanks. Hey btw, read a lot of your posts. Very informative & helpful. Thanks for doing that!
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
I'm on stock GB right now from telus... but when I do this my screen just shuts off. Same thing happened on froyo. Realy wish I could figure this out, eliminate the need of an app.

Thx

Maniac
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Maniac - I believe you and I have the exact same configuration at this point. The other day I took 2 screen-shots - was pretty sure it was a double tap on home (I have the screen-shots saved in the gallery under screen-capture). For the life of me, I CANNOT replicate the behaviour - this has happened to me a few times.

Appears like the guts of doing it is in Android, but you sometimes just trip over the functionality every now and again. Not sure why they keep missing this one, seems like an obvious feature.
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
Thanks for the reply, I've never got it to work. Ever. So now that I know it is possible, I'm going to try to figure this out. It would be awesome, very simple, but awesome.

I will report back if I make any progress.

Maniac
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
I've tried every combination of buttons, none worked.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Do the telus roms include a (I may be wrong on the name) ScreenCaptureService.apk within system/app? Because that was needed for the above mentioned methods of stock froyo screen capture.

good day.
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
yea I do have that file in gingerbread, had it in froyo as well. I don't think it has anything to do with screencapture as such. I copied the file to my pc, extracted it and it contains a couple common .xml you find in all APK's and shutter1.ogg file. Which I'm thinking is the sound for the camera.

I've looked through the manual and I couldn't find anything about taking screenshots.

I bet if it can be done it's going to turn out to be something so small and easy.. that's always the way these things work out.
[Fascinate General] Kingali1997:
Maybe menu and down thats miui shortcut I believe
[Fascinate General] Hymizzle:
As of right now I have 43 unwanted screen captures. All from just pressing the power button alone. LAME!! and more so annoying because the screen won't turn off unless you back out of an app.

Keep me Fascinated.
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
How did you make this happen?
[Fascinate General] Kingali1997:
A button was probably phantom pressed along with power
[Fascinate General] bradlove17:
I'm on official 2.2

For me to screen capture I have to hold the back button until it vibrates (like one second) and THEN press the power button while continuing to hold the back button.

Works every time for me. Some applications don't handle it well and the long hold of the back button takes you up one level...
[Fascinate General] VGSmatt:
I am on ccampos's PWGB beta 3 and it works the exact same way for me. Long press on the back button and a quick click of the power button.
[Fascinate General] trav06:
On Gummy GBE I hold the back button and press the home button. The quality of the screen grabs is lower than drocap though.
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
Sorry for the upcoming caps.. but besides a video I can't get my point across any other way...

I"VE TRIED EVERYTHING.. to get a screenshot working without 3rd party app. Maybe I'm nuts, but, this is just something that is bugging me for some time now.. since 2.2... I won't stop until I figure it out.
[Fascinate General] Threadcrapping_Troll:
Take your phone, set it on the ground, get in your car, run over phone. There you go.....your screens shot. No 3rd party app needed.
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
HAHAHA LOL... nice.. I need that
[Fascinate General] Hymizzle:
No phantom button was pressed, just power button. My brother, friend and I have this problem and its very annoying. Maybe there's a screen capture flu going around in my area.

Keep me Fascinated.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aloo89:
Hi

I bought my X10 mini pro having android v1.6. I am trying to upgrade to v2.1 have followed the process provided on sony ericsson website, but its not working. Actually i am not getting any error at all :(

Also there is no Android market application on my miniPro ?? how should i get it?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dr.norton:
please write that what you've done until this point? does 1.6 work properly?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Hi there,

did you activate your Google Account on your device,

could be the cause of no market app on it.

Related to your update problem:

did you try to flash with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) ?

Seems to be the better choice with our devices :)

But more informations would be really good to know

Greetings

Marius
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dr.norton:
if it's a stock system there should be the market application. when you run it for the first time market app opens google account to log in or sign up.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Omario-242:
Oh sorry, my fault :P

Didn't know that... it's a long time ago ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dr.norton:
no problem :)

if it wasn't an official upgrade you were right. still, it's a weird situation. at least i haven't heard a case like this.

anyway, aloo89, if you don't have google apps, you can try to flash this package:

I was flashing Pudding_preroot. After it completed, it failed. Since then I get the attached boot screen.

I can't seem to get my phone to charge the battery enough to flash. I keep getting Battery is too low to flash

Is there any fix for this?
[Atrix 4G General] the2dcour:
You need a charged battery.

Use the menu to go to RSD and reflash. Then You'll probably have to go into fastboot and do the unlock.
[Atrix 4G General] shriva:
Also remember you can't charge a dead battery or near dead off usb.. need to plug it into the wall..
[Atrix 4G General] willgill:
Thanks for the help. Yep, I knew I needed a charged battery. Getting it charged is the trick. I had it plugged into the wall for 5 hours and still get that message. I knew plugging it into a compy USB port wouldn't do it.
[Atrix 4G General] barry99705:
Fairly sure that the phone won't charge the battery from the fastboot menu. You'll either need someone's charged battery, or an external battery charger. Looks like you need to do the fastboot oem unlock thing, once you get a good battery.
[Atrix 4G General] andrewthestudent:
barry99705 is correct. I had this same issue. I finally broke down and went to the AT&T store to ask if I could stick my battery into the display atrix for an hour. The manager said it wasn't possible due to the security system attached to the phone. I thought all was lost, but then he proceeded to take his fully charged battery from his atrix and switch it with my drained battery. Best customer support I have ever received.
[Atrix 4G General] hoodlikegaza:
do any of you rtfm before doing somethng as unlockng your bootloader and voiding your warranty?
[Atrix 4G General] leo5111:
dont post unless you want to help, we were all newbs at one time even YOU ;)
[Atrix 4G General] willgill:
Yep, RTFM, but my battery doesn't hold a charge too well. I had it at 65%. After all the flashing and reboots the battery level just dropped too low.

I'll confirm, it WILL NOT CHARGE FROM THE FASTBOOT MENU!

I swapped out the Atrix at the service center. I'm sure I could have got it back if I had some battery life. I have a pretty nice hobby LiPo battery charger that adjustable. I thought about charging it that way, but I just needed the phone back and didn't have the time.

Experimenting end-users: Make sure you have a good charge on your battery before attempting. "Good" being > 90% in my book.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnicGeek:
Often i get many applications getting updated at the same time which strains my HTC Desire S. Is there a way to set each application its own update time/interval in order not to conflict with others?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2582:
If you go into the Market and click on the apps that you have, there should be a box that is already checked to automatically update. Uncheck it so that it won't update for you in the background.

Also, when you do update those apps, you should update them when you're on a wifi network. It's much faster than using the mobile network.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnicGeek:
Yeah but what about scheduling? Or automatically updating specific number of apps every day?

Put this (Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25) file in the

of your sdcard.

If u already have ROM Manager downloaded and flashed CWM 2.5.0.7, then skip those 2 steps.

1 - Download ROM Manager from the market.

2 - Choose 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery', and follow the instructions.

Continue with these..

3 - When u are done with that, press 'Reboot into Recovery'

4 - Press the OK button, and then your device will reboot in the Recovery.

5 - Choose 'Install zip from sdcard'.

6 - Choose the Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25.zip.

7 - If you're done with this, choose 'reboot system now'.

Here you are ;)
[Wildfire General] rocker86:
No i am using CWM v 4.0.1.4 (Revolutionary)
[Wildfire General] Solar_:
Just follow these steps and it'll work 100% for sure.

The CWM u have (4.XXXX) is permanent.

The CWM by ROM Manager (2.5.0.7) is temporary.

U can have both at the same time.

No the rom is quite well... it was d issue with the USB port of my PC. when i hv connected to other port it works. :)
[Wildfire General] StarF:
So if i got clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.6 how do i install a new radio then? when i try installing the zip file, it just says something about some scripting that was removed. How do i get my radio updated?

figured out that i in rom manager could chose reboot to recovery there, and i would get the old version.

Hi mini users

I have xperia mini for few days and i wonder about poor flash playback. Xperia mini with latest firmware and flash 10.3, tested stock browser, dolphin browser and opera browser. When i try to play youtube content it can't handle even 480p in fullscreen mode? Sound is ok but movie is 2-5 fps (1 fps in 720p mode) WHY?

Older xperia x10i updated to android 2.3 can play even 720p movies smoothly! Xperia mini has lower resolution and faster processor so should be better.

Quadrant for mini is ~1700, for x10i is ~1200.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] matiparv:
It might be a strange question, but why would you want to play youtube videos in browser with flash (which sucks balls anyway, but that's another story) when there's a perfectly good and capable youtube app on the phone already?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sielik:
When i browse www pages there are many movies on them, not only on youtube, just want to see it in browser. If pages has many flash anims mini's pefrorm worse then x10i. But main reason of my question was why it can't handle play when it is faster then x10i?
