Thumb Keyboard...

Just wanted to bump this and let everyone know that Thumb keyboard is free on the Amazon App Store today.

I'm loving the gingerbread theme on it and the 5" tablet mode in landscape.
[Droid Pro General] clueless77:
I have a pro rooted, running gingerbread, flashed cm7 902 build.

it works great, having nothing to compare it too as this is my first custom rom flash (long story if you would like to hear it to learn from my mistakes just ask), one minor issue i have seen is if you choose to let battery die till it suts down when you power back up you will not have data. Easy fix is just restoring to stock rooted and re flashing 902 and voila data is back, and oh yeah dont let battery die completely

thanks to dutchbastard, CrackMonkey91, jackpotclavin (for the build), and motorolaoneclick root method Pete Souza (spelling)

any question just ask i am an open book

when i installed newest 9-02 update the phone gets stuck in bootloop whats up with that
[Droid Pro General] jakejake2934:
I had the same issue with a bootloop, just in a different situation. Go to recovery (Take out battery, hold Power+R+M, wait for the green Android and the ! in a triangle, then let go, then press both volume keys at once(Gingerbread) or the @ key(Froyo), use volume buttons to scroll up and down) and wipe the phone. It should say something like wipe, factory reset, restore, you get the point. Wait for it to finist, then reboot. If it shows an error, dont mind that. Mine did too but its fine.

I just partitioned my EVO 4G and did everything "to a T" but I am not sure if it worked or not.

I am running a ROM that doesn't HAVE to have the SD card partitioned (Kingdom Rewind 3D) but I flash ROMs frequently & figured 'what the hell'.....

now I read in all the posts about partitioning the SD card that I should have around 300-400MB once partitioned...now when I went into SD & Phone Storage I see the following:

total space-12.98GB

available space-12.65GB

and for internal storage 97.66MB...

but in Titanium Backup it shows the a2SD with almost 2 GIGs of free space (see screens)...

my question is- did the partition work correctly or do I need to run a script or something?

Type

a2sd reinstall

That will move all your apps to the partition also you can type

su

a2sd help

That will give you a list of commands that you can run.

The datasd or cachesd can make you phone lag if that happens try

su

a2sd nodata

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broad_st_bully:
first-thanks!

second- I did what you said...entered a2sd reinstall & hit enter but it said a2sd wasn't installed...later checked my sd & storage & see there is 357 MB free...on Synergy RLS1...

sound strange?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I'm pretty sure synergy uses cm a2sd scripts those commands are for dta2sd but its normal and your fine but if you start to get some lag you could flash dta2sd you'll need to find the moded version on that thread somewhere then run the command "nodata" I believe thats the one or "nocache" hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broad_st_bully:
everything seems to be running smooth right now....although the commands didn't work there is 357MB internal storage showing....so I guess I'm good for now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1seven:
There are a few threads in the dev section that have pretty detailed instructions for using a2sd scripts.

I just recently started using this myself, and have found two things to be pretty handy. First--and this won't help you on Synergy--but if/when you're using a CM7-based ROM, try this s2e app. I've been using it on CM7 and Deck, and it works great, basically gives you a GUI to manage the options from:

https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.krikun.s2e

Second, and you can use this tool with any rom, is another utility by the same dev called freespace--you can tell at a glance where your stuff is and how much space you have in /system, /data, /sd-ext, etc:

https://market.android.com/details?id=ru.krikun.freespace

I also just noticed this one for managing the darktremor a2sd script. I haven't used it, but if somebody wants to try it out, it's got 97 reviews and an avg rating of 4.7 stars:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
Trying to make my phone connect to my wireless-n network so that I can get much faster speeds on it. right now it seems to connect at wirelessg mode, and I know my internet can get around 35mbps. Getting very flaky 4g and 3g signal in my apt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Yes, it does (depends on the kernel most likely though). However, you don't need a wireless N router to reach 35mbps. Wireless G will do 54mbps. My old wireless g standard wrt linksys router with ddwrt firmware on it outperforms a lot of stock wireless N routers you buy in the store. If you weren't aware, routers have lots of various after market firmwares like android phones do and are substantially better.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
realistically, i get only about 21mbps on wireless-g (i think thats the real world speeds), and ddwrt is not exactly working properly on my router.

i have stock rooted rom with stock kernel.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttereve:
I'm sure this has been asked quite a bit but I'm just trying to nail down which one to get. Basically I just hit my upgrade date and was planning on a DInc2 until a verizon rep told me I would be grandfathered in for unlimited data at the same price, and he claimed that would include 4G (can anybody confirm?) so I decided to go the 4G route and either get the bionic or thunderbolt.

As i see it the bionic destroys the thunderbolt spec-wise, but am wondering if things like a dual core processor or 1080vs720 will ever be noticeable? I owned both a nexus 1 and droid X previously and have handled a few other phones from moto and HTC and have always found the HTC offerings much nicer built. I guess I really want to go with the t-bolt, but don't wanna regret buying a phone with last-year specs.

opinions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HafizNafes89:
Man get the bionic. The thunderbolt has outdated hardware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MDicnMan:
Even as compared to new releases like th RAZR and Nexus, I would still say that you can't go wrong with the Bionic. It is solic hardware and with the latest update, it is running well. The only limitation is that there is not al ton of development going on with it.

Gingerbread Problem

There are several posts on this it is caused by the faulty Gingerbread update no fix available yet. Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] pagereborn:
you sure it's a software problem?
[Atrix 4G General] g2tegg:
I have a similar issue. Some users reported that Touchscreen Booster from the Marketplace helped. Give that a shot. It says its for the SGS but install it anyways, select "super optimized" and hit apply.

Unfortunately for me, it doesnt do a thing. I actually think I figured out whats causing my phone to screw up. Whenever its hot/humid outside, thats when it starts to glitch. For instance. I was watching a movie through the HDMI cable. The phone is overclocked to 1.3Ghz, so about 45 minutes in the phone was getting hot. It was in a Otterbox case as well which doesnt help. It randomly started showing the progress bar and disappearing. Once I took the case off, and let the phone sit for a bit it started to work fine again.

I have a new digitizer on order and hopefully that will fix the issues. Hopefully for you it isnt hardware like mine!
[Atrix 4G General] pagereborn:
it doesnt work for me either.

[Motorola Droid X2] snowman7:
I've noticed my data speeds getting slower over the past few days. I thought it might have been the new Atrix Rom I am running. However, I just read an article from Droid Life and it seems Verizon is now trying to throttle the data usage.

Does anyone know if we have any way to remove the data throttle from the Droid X2?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] Igtenio:
Data Throttling is typically done on the carrier-side of things, meaning that modifying the phone itself won't accomplish anything.

It's similar to how they filter out certain apps from the Android Market; there's no way for us to get around them doing so, because the data is filtered before it ever reaches the phone. The best we can do is use a different source(i.e, Wifi) to access it.

The same principle applies to throttling.

The article mentions something about a notification on your billing statement ... either way, I wonder if this 'change' constitutes grounds for early termination of your contract without penalty?

Pj
[Motorola Droid X2] singlesword:
They might give you a option to get off the contract if you are being throttled, but remember if you do so you would never be able to go back and get the unlimited data package. When i worked for clear(4G wireless company) we had a process called N.I.M.S (network integrity management system) which means a stupid computer that was programmed with different levels and data usage values and if you went above these values guess what :D you just got on the N.I.M.S list and when you get on it once you never get off, sad i know but its true. I recently got fired from there because the closed all the US call centers and the moved the operations to the Philippines, damn US government to allow moving jobs over sea's :'(

Forgot something, the policy at clear was that if you were on the N.I.M.S list you were able to get out of your contact with no early term fee's. But you worry not allow any kind of refund for the most recent bill cycle and i mean NONE even if you paid the bill less than a week ago, you would get denied of a refund.
[Motorola Droid X2] flamebeats:
If its only 5% of us using over 2gigs of data,(which is b.s.), how is it a problem for the biggest network in America? Im going to sprint. Hello photon!!
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
It's the top 5 percent of unlimited data users, so I doubt 2gb is the likit
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
I seriously doubt it's 5% of anything, I think Verizon throttles all of it's customers on the fly when the system sees a heavy data usage beyond a certain amount of time (Example, streaming) regardless of data plan.

I have unlimited data, this month I have only used 267MB of data on their network, streamed some ESPN the other night, and what do you know... throttled.

Verizon is a bunch of liars and cheats... that said, I do my share also. Thanks Verizon.

How can u tell when u r throttled?

And I remember seeing a file called throttle or similar when going through root explorer one day. I forget where but I will look again tomorrow ...man I should be sleeping right now

I swear if I been getting throttled and I have only been a customers for few months I will snap on some reps lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Killz86:
you can take this as you want,

belive me or not, but i went to a verizon store to get replacement droid x2, and me and this tech got talking, he had his phone rooted with custom roms and the whole lot, and knew alot about rooting, he told me they throttle you on the phone aka software, if you run custom com and are rooted, you wont get the throttle problem.

I was going to buy full price for the droid bionic, but he told me that verizon will get the Samsung galaxy S II phone, i dont think it will happen but he knew what he was talking about.

but overall take it how you want it.

but when i was running Eclipse 5 i hit on download speed 1.7mbps/800kps upload, the lowest i hit was 1.2mbps/500kps upload.
[Motorola Droid X2] AtLemacks:
This is probably my lowest month ever, but I use my car dock to play Google Music in my car and I stream it. This month in 26 days I have only used 1.16GB of Data and on the outside of town I am getting 1.6mbps down 253kbps up on Eclipse Rom.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Okay I found where I saw throttle before in root explorer

[Motorola Droid X2] PetrichorXFi:
The possible "issues" in these theories

While this data throttle removal may be possible, some are confused as to the basic details.

So lets look at the start... what is throttling? My understanding is simple, slowing down the transfer speeds (both upload and download) after reaching a predefined usage.

Now, what is this predefined usage? I have not looked into any details of throttling for those who have purchased contracts post-Verizon stating they will throttle, but I did look into how it affects people like myself who purchased my Droid X2 about a month or two prior to Verizon stating they would have datacaps. Verizon said something about those with "unlimited" data will begin getting capped at 5GB.

Lets assume that in my particular case, this is true: Verizon throttles me only when I exceed the 5GB usage. This would mean that they would not, at least based on bandwidth usage, throttle me for my first 5 GB of monthly data... correct?

Now, I see some users are posting things about speeds increasing, yet not stating they are over their "predefined cap".

So to continue with this thread, we should all state our predefined cap, if we have reached the cap upon the bandwidth tests we run, and show multiple bandwidth tests such as hapyman did below

Happyman, thank you very much for not only taking multiple tests, but also posting a picture with the tests highlighted in color. Also thank you for stating you have been in one room, and also having the tests all within the same day.

We should all keep in mind though that 4 hours can change a lot of the stress on the cell towers. at hapyman's first tests many may be getting home from work, or "slacking off' during their last hour or two at work, and thus be putting more strain on the towers. By 10pm many of the 8-5pm workers may be settling down to bed, or watching Netflix on their cable internet.

To have reliable numbers we should:

--Have many of us test

--Test in the same location EVERY time

--Test at the same time of day, for more than one week as weekends for example may have different usage than weekdays

--State our individual datacaps and the data used up till the day/time the speed test has been performed

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

AtLemacks, please be sure to state what device you are performing the speed tests on. I ask this because this is on the "Droid X2 Q&A" parent thread, yet the speeds your image displays are above what is possible with 3G, meaning you must be on 4G, thus NOT the Droid X2.

I personally feel that despite this being under the "Droid X2 Q&A" parent thread, we should feel free to post up generalities such as "Here is my speed test on my Incredible 2 using 4G. As seen in the image, my speeds are also increased by the methods referenced in this post"

I would prefer to keep things such as "Android Throttle Removal" in one thread to allow the entire XDA Developer forum community to work together, opposed to having fragmented ideas throughout the forum.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Just wanted to say that Verizon doesn't do "true" throttling.

They use network optimization

Meaning u only get throttled when in top 5% pf data users and ONLY when the tower u are connected to is under heavy usage (high traffic)
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Thanks Ash....

But for the record, these are probably(?) some of the settings use to implement the tame VZW method.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I am not saying that throttling doesn't happen. Im saying why some it most people say they don't experience it. Its cause it isn't a constant thing.

Im not sure what you are trying to tell me lol sorry

I was the one who pointed out the throttle files in /data and have tried this mod a few times. I just never see any results really.

The TRUE unthrottle requires an edited services.jar

The powerboost mod is supposed to have a universal unthrottle.

[Motorola Droid X2] phieta:
What the heck. I'll believe that when you post a screen shot.

I don't know how much you know, but you can easily search the market for a screen shot app and with a data app. Verizon's My Verizon Mobile is simple enough.

The most I've ever heard was 50gb. What the heck are you downloading? People talk about hooking their phones to their Xbox or PS3, but how could anyone play anything on a 3G or 4G connection.

Maybe you're a middle school boy whose parents work nights and you never leave home. Idk. It would explain a few gigs of data.

Anyways, for others, this link

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11110-mod-powerboost-v25-in-the-kitchen-featuresto-do-in-op/

is the script that Ash referenced and it edits the throttle services in services.jar, what skwoodwiva posted a screenshot of the settings.

It edits all throttle values to 0.

I use it, but things got finnicky when I flashed CM7 Beta to test it out. HBO GO used to stream flawlessly for me. Before unthrottle it buffered. Unthrottled-no buffer. CM7- worse than ever. Maybe just a bad flash.

[Motorola Droid X2] SynisterWolf:
heads up. when the phone is being throttled you will see it in the notification bar. as far as i know. the only 2 carriers that throttle still, from the phone. They are t-mobile and Bell in Canada. CDMA is more controlled on the provider side then on the phone.

one of the rumors of why its still on the phones is because Google had it written into android OS so company's would want to buy there OS license over anyone else. (free gimic that screws there users....)
