Okay thanks and sorry for the dumb question but i still have a few inquisitions .. if i am browsing the web and i go to the messaging app to send a text then when i go back to the internet browser the web page reloads . As i have a slow mobile internet connection that annoys me . Secondly if i am watching a video and again have to send a text when i go back to the video it starts from the beginning . Is tht how its suppose to be or am i doing something wrong ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
it more than likely means there wasn't enough free RAM available to run both applications (along with all other background applications) so it closes the previous app so that the current one can operate freely.

So what I'm expressing is that Android isn't closing the app because you switched apps, its closing in order to keep the other apps running properly when the system is low on RAM, rather than the phone freezing up.

Are you running stock HTC Sense? Because on MIUI I just loaded a page, then read a text, followed a link to the youtube app, watched a video, then toggled back to the browser and the page was still there...

If you're on stock HTC Sense I'm assuming thats why you're having RAM problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] talha92:
I like the htc sense look on my phone so i am using virtuous unity v1.31 that has sense 3.0 ..And i have the task manager application installed i have never seen my phones free ram lower then 65 mb . Its usually around 70-75.. so i wonder why my phone is closing apps by itself . :s
[G2 and Desire Z General] talha92:
I just checked 'running services' in the phone settings under applications . There the free ram.is ranging from 185mb to 165mb . :s
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
Do you have a ''how-to'' to disable or uninstall services that we dont need?

In the same way as msconfig on windows.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GinoAMelone:
This "Task Manager" you have running. Is it some app that kills other apps? If so, uninstall it. It is causing your problems and making your phone run poorly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
If you search around (maybe even on the Unity thread, if my memory serves me correctly . . . which it often doesn't!) there are some tweaks posted that are claimed to help memory management by slightly adjusting the parameters by which Android kills processes. I haven't personally tried them, so make a nandroid before changing anything, just in case.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
What 'task manager application' do you have running? If its killing processes prematurely then that can be a problem...
[G2 and Desire Z General] talha92:
the task manager app is the app already installed in the virtuous unity rom .. and i cant seem to uninstall it . and i dont think it would cause problems as it is packaged in the rom. would it ? .

thanks i am going to search for it in the virtuous unity thread and see if i am able to solve the problem .recently i noticed if i am playing music in the background and i open the messaging app or a big site like the desktop version of facebook on my browser the music application crashes so there is definately an issue with memory management in my phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
The main issue is that Sense 3.0 is not really meant to run on our phone, due to lack of memory. Sense 3.0 takes a huge chunk of memory, so it doesn't take much more to push the system over the edge. The tweaks I've read about won't be a huge change in memory management. But people on here swear they are helpful.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
With the new virtuous unity 2.37.0 (sense 3.0) I have an average of 130 mb of free memory. I use temp+cpu widget to monitoring.

Is it not enough?

I read an article about memory managing (auto killer apps) on GB roms, an apparently it wont give a faster speed or better battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
If the latest version of Unity uses less memory, updating to that version might help the OP with his particular issue. I'm personally on 1.29. I tried every version after that (with the exception of 2.37), and they all resulted in my battery life being cut in half, so I'm back on 1.29.

The memory management tweaks I spoke of are simply adjustments to the parameters by which Android's built-in task manager kills tasks when memory is needed, not a separate auto killer app. Android inherently kills idle tasks when memory gets low. The adjustment I've seen, if I remember properly, actually raises the threshold for how full memory is before it starts killing tasks.

I agree that 3rd party auto killer apps will not increase performance, except in pretty isolated cases (like a rogue app, badly coded app with a memory leak).
[G2 and Desire Z General] talha92:
Yes i was thinking of updating to v 2.37 nd see if tht solves my problem . And i was wondering if there was a simple way to stop android automatically closing applications till its down to more like 20-25mbs . But it will never go tht low will it ?

When I'm on the browser at times scrolling slowly it seems as if the scrolling gets locked until I lift My finger and scroll again. Does anyone else notice this or know why it happens?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
What ROM are you running?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nightf0x:
Happens to me sometimes too when using Opera Mobile. EB 2.0, also happened on EB 1.07 (2.3.3)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Those are both Stock based, correct?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nyyankees3511:
Im using stock tweaked EB. But it happened on completely stock GB also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nightf0x:
Eb 2.0 is 2.3.5, CM based

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a Stock Odexed Zip Aligned XXJVS ROM?

Don't really want any of the customizations coz I am more interested in optimizations ;)

I am on Milky's JVR Odexed ROM w/ Galaxian GT, Supercharger V6 and Acid Tweaks and it's stable, the performance is unbelievable. smooth and fast and 2 days battery on light use 24/7.

I just want the latest ROM ;)

If anyone has one post us the link ;)

Thank you

[Galaxy S I9000 General] krige:
Clock/Timer doesn't produce any sound when the time is up.

Does anybody know what could it be related to and how I could fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pharz:
are you sure the volume is up?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
maybe your theme creator deleted default sonds =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krige:
Yes, I have set all volumes to their maximum level.

I am not using any theme. Other users of my same rom state they don't have this problem. Do you happen to know the name of that sound file and where it is located?

i have a question is the g2x have a damage-resistant Gorilla® Glass

i though i saw that it does on another thread
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MisfitX:
Yes.. the LG G2x has Corning® Gorilla® Glass... (great stuff)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Ill put it to the test *grabs hammer*
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
no way who could have thought. there is nothing on the specs that says it does! maybe thats why i havent seen a single scratch on my screen since i got my phone april20th
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MisfitX:
Yeah one of the best things added to a cell phone. Found some of my older cells and can hardly see the screen lol my girl has the moto defy (first phone "I" had messed with that has the gorilla glass) and she is hard on phones and hers still looks new..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joseg1320:
Yup, it's on their website. It doesn't specifically list the G2x, but it does list the Optimus 2x, which is the same thing.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/lg
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
It used to be listed on the T-Mobile website under the phone's specs. Looks like they removed that part of the description.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
that wouldn't mean they started using a different type of glass would it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Not really sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MisfitX:
Its still on lg's site..

Anybody get Netflix to work? Mine opens then closes instantly
[LG Thrill 4G] baudilus:
Nope - mine does the same. I'd give Netflix a call, let them know about the problem.
[LG Thrill 4G] BigCiX:
there's a few apps that are yet compatible with out device. Chase, Netflx and Tango (ff camera doesn't work) to name a few
[LG Thrill 4G] tedjacob10:
this sucks

I hate that they would put the app out there and it wont work even though you can get it straight off the market. Oh well, I guess when gingerbread rolls out we will be able to get it to work hopefully. Supposedly it supposed to come out around a month after release, so lets see if att keeps their word this time, after all they did delay the phone several times and promised it would be soon. I guess soon to them was months because it said on their website coming soon for like three months at least lol

---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------

For some reason I keep checking every day to see if Netflix is gonna work lol, it never does just pretty much closes almost instantly. I know every time that I open the app its gonna close, oh well it is wishful thinking. I'm still gonna check it every day though lol

---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

Is it possible that a build.prop edit could get it to work I wonder?

[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
So Netflix is working, but my capacitive buttons stay lit the whole time I'm watching something. Is this happening to you guys? I tried to install "keep the lights on" but since it didn't work I uninstalled it. Does Netflix keep the lights on or did I do this?
[LG Thrill 4G] CXENTE:
Yea for some reason, my stay lit too
[LG Thrill 4G] Cthater:
As long as it works I'm happy.
[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
Me too. Glad to hear it's not cause of "keep the lights on"funny though how the only time i want them off they stay onnoh well. Now if we could only get Hulu Plus.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Hey guys I was Hoping someone could maybe Answer a few Questions I have about Restoring Nandroid Backups...

Ok First off I'm a Experienced Clockwork Recovery user, and because of that I guess you can say I'm kind of a Noob to Other Recoveries. Now even though Most Recoveries Do have the Same basic Functions ... I guess its the ones Not Available in Clockwork that I Need the Answers to...

I was Tempted to try TWRP for a while now, and just Yesterday finally Did! But Although its Installed I really Haven't made a Backup, or Flashed a Rom. So After going through the TWRP Recovery menu a Little, I was Curious How do you Compress a Backup? Is that a Option given After you go through the motions of making a Backup?

I'm thinking YES, but Haven't made one so figured I Ask first, seeing I'm Not sure I'll ever actually get that far!

Reason I'm saying this is because...

I have Nandroid Backups on my Sdcard which were made with Clockwork and if it Isn't Possible to Restore my Already Made Backups using TWRP, I'd Probably just go Back to Clockwork as my Default Recovery...

Anyone know if its Possible to Restore Nandroids made from Clockwork, with TWRP?

Thanx in Advance...
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Yes, you're correct. Would have to create a backup first, then you'd be able to compress it.

Great question. I hadn't ever thought of this ... but the question does make complete sense.

Short answer: Depends which version of CWM and TWRP .. some versions yes and some versions no.

Longer answer:

For starters, each recovery stores the their recovery files in separate directories and uses different "file extensions". I think they used to be compatible in the sense they both used images of the partitions. The most recent version of CWM, 5.0.2.0 is now using tar files for system and data which wouldn't be compatible with the TWRP restore process.

I think TWRP was/is using exact images of the actual partitions created with the 'dd' linux binary.

I haven't checked the TWPR or CWM in the last few months just followed updates on twitter, IRC and here. I'm sure if my information is out of date somebody will post up to correct.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] PdawG43:
On the compression is, when your in the backup screen and you see the options for you to select what u want to back up at the bottom there is a box that says compress backup and you would just select that before you begin the backup process. Compressed backups take a bit longer to complete but are worth the weight.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Thanx for the Reply man...

Hey you wouldn't happen to know the answer to my question about Restoring a Nandroid made with Clockwork from or to TWRP would you??

Thanks Either Way Tho...

He also says (or links to) a site that shows the first day of fall as 23rd September. I think we all know what he is trying to say ;)

[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:

[Windows Phone 7 General] CyK1:
Awww crap! that means it won't be arriving until AFTER september 23rd... I actually thought Microsoft would release something ahead of schedule but they never like to disappoint us do they.
[Windows Phone 7 General] joaodaega:
Today Microsoft has treated its customers like dirt, had many days to say that today was not the day of the update. It's just a shame the company can not say a release date.

Walk to complain that no sales? No one will buy an OS that only has 5 languages ​​in the operating system.

And then to make matters worse go all happy to show TV ads to show MANGO, WTF? And to show new apps with MANGO ....

It's just a shame .... They lost a customer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
It shows the attitude of the company. The customer is the last consideration. You can't expect anything good or satisfying from a company like that. If they can't see the dissatisfaction with what customers they do have, they certainly wouldn't consider anything the customer wants.

It seems like the customer is out of the loop as far as what MS is doing...like the customer isn't even a slight thought in their minds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
They never said it was 9/15 so what made you believe it? If I say its coming 9/17, will you believe this and blame MS if they don't deliver it by then?

They don't comment on speculation and they said before that it will come this fall and we still have summer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spookidoodles:
I explained this to like 5 people on Youtube earlier, received a lot of hate mail in reply lol people are complete idiots - they will make it widely known when it is getting released.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Microsoft is waiting for the iPhone 5 announcement to release Mango so that everyone pays attention to Windows Phone. Or will they?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I don't know what the real deal is with the Mango release date, but intentionally trying to steal attention from Apple by releasing it on the same day (or even the same week) as the iPhone 5 would be an epic mistake. WP7 is nowhere near popular (or even well-known) enough yet to compete with the cacophony of noise that the iPhone 5 will generate. It would be analogous to dropping a small stone into a pond, trying to make more waves than someone else who is dropping a 50 pound boulder.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jwalk74:
Iphone5??? More dumbass speculation, MS never once said 9/15... Xda is getting ridiculous, I just follow some tech news sites now, and some Wp7 dev forums here from now on
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
I'd like to add to this. They pushed quite hard every developer, in an announcement, to update their app to Mango like NOW or sooner if possible !

The hell I will ! If you push a Mango update, you can't update your NoDo version anymore, forever ! So basically I don't even know when the new features I add will become available to the general public (surely not before 1-2 months for most customers) and at the same time if I find a bug in my current version I won't be able to fix, never again.

So you're asking me once more a leap of faith, even after you provided a disaster of update schedule the last (and only) time around ? You must be kidding me...

Playing hide and seek games and having cryptic (supposedly funny ?) posts with release dates after the mess they did with their first one... doesn't feel right.

State a fixed date, well in advance and honour it
[Windows Phone 7 General] chevyrida:
well said my freind..
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
A lot of good logic in this thread.

To the poster who said "if I say it's the 17th, will you get mad at MS for not releasing it on the 17th?", that isn't what happened. EVERYONE for some reason thought it was the 15th. It wasn't just a few obsessed fans. It was engadget, wpcentral, etc. -everyone-. That was the rumor. And it would take 40 seconds to write a blog post saying otherwise.

Moronic public relations from Microsoft. Rule 1: OPEN COMMUNICATION.

If a rumor gets as substantial as the 15th one did, then you address, and dismiss it. You don't write (like someone above said) a cryptic tweet just to fuel more speculation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwajr:
all of yall must be idiots

they never said the 15th but yet yall hold them to it

even if they said go today your carrier would not be ready some still don't have nodo
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
Mostly the reason because everyone thought it was the 15th, is the absolute need for it to come out as soon as possible as it's too late already, the window is closing extremely fast.

The platform is freaking late and having a new major iteration of ios close at hand, contemporary to something that puts WP somewhere around a 2009 OS, well you get the picture...

But ultimately, it's just that being in this sh•••y situation, you would expect they would learn to communicate better with their public. It's not like you're Apple, you're the n.1, you've already made proselytises by the bucket who have never been disappointed by your products...again, this cryptic tweets and no updates make them look arrogant.
[Windows Phone 7 General] magicsquid:
I'm not a marketing expert but I would agree with you.

Matt Bencke from Microsoft has a post that explains it as follows:

"With any big launch, you want to have a big marketing push that coincides with your product launch, so divulging exact dates, takes away from our market impact, thus the vagueness of release dates."

Link below:

http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_.../09/14/mango-checks-in-at-build.aspx#comments
[Windows Phone 7 General] andycted:
the internet police should prevent "marketing" and "Microsoft" to appear in the same sentence. :)

Edit: as the post below this says, I was overwhelmed so much by that phrase, that the only thing that I could do was being sarcastic. Hiding inefficency behind the thrill of waiting... I'm very excited !
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I had a very long post typed up in response to this absurd comment, but at this point, I am too frustrated to post it. All I will say is Mr Bencke seems to have forgotten the legendary 8-24-95 date that was announced far in advance of the release of Windows 95. That didn't seem to take away from its market impact.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Just glad I ignored all the rumours and didn't get my hopes up
[Windows Phone 7 General] DJRedLine:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
AHAHAHA awesome post !!

A big difference from all the doom and gloom and angry little people :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] stevenmu:
To be fair to them they can't start commenting rumours, if they do it once then they have to do it all the time (kind of like negotiating with terrorists :)).

For e.g. lets assume hypothetically that the real launch date is Oct 15th, and that they openly denied the Sept 15th rumour. What happens then if another rumour starts saying Oct 15th? They can't deny it, or we'd all complain about them not telling the truth. So if they try to "no comment" having previously denied one rumour, suddenly the blogosphere posts it as "confirmed", and everyone gets their hopes and expectations up. And then if something goes wrong and they need to push the date back there'd be a huge outcry.

If they start responding to rumours they can only lose.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CreepinJesus:
I can't help but laugh at you. They've said all along that it will be a "fall release". We are not in "fall" yet, therefore anyone over the age of 4 can tell you it wasn't going to happen yesterday.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheus1982:
Thank you! Fall (Autumn) hasnt even started yet! So while it is frustrating that we are waiting so long, how can MS be blamed when from the beginning, Autumn was the season stated?

The Tech sites are just as stupid as most of the people complaining about it. Do a Google search and you will learn that Autumn (Fall) doesnt start until as least the 21st September. Once that date has passed, then we can start getting annoyed given that the operators and manufacturers recieved the final build on around the 26th July. Plenty of time in my opinion to have things (the upgrade) ready, seeing as new Mango phones are already waiting to be shipped.
