[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Yup you do need to downgrade, as currently you can only temp-root OTA GB. It unroots when you reboot your phone, and that's why the downgrading starts at temp root. Downgrade to 2.1, where a perm root is available, then flash a PRE-rooted GB if stock GB is important to you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeNo:
Thanks guys. I had another question, They say look for the INFOCID, Where do I find that at? Because they don't really show a picture of it or explain how exactly to get it? Or do I not neeed to do that since I'm using a T-Mobile G2?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
I remember seeing it when rooting. One of the rooting steps would print out lots of text on your command prompt. Just scroll around and you'll find it.

Found it :

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem boot

Just scroll through the output and you'll find it :D

I was just asking as they are asking about a Goldcard method and I was trying to figure out if I needed to follow that or not. This whole down-grading method is slightly confusing for me. Would you guys be able to help me locate a video showing someone doing it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
A goldcard is needed. Process goes goldcard, temp root, downgrade, perm root then flashing a new ROM. Just follow the guides and you'll be fine don't worry :P

Thanks for the help lolz. That might be why I can't do anything. I generally just browsed over anything Goldcard, Cause all my other Androids used just ADB to push the files or I just had to flash stuff ah

Haha alright. If you still need help I might make a video this weekend as a guide.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
um no, G2's do not need goldcards.

G2's are only available from T-Mobile and thus all have the same cid.

A Goldcard is only neccesary if you are trying to flash an official PC10IMG that doesn't match the cid.

All right thanks. I think this is going to be my last question hopefully. I need to just follow all the steps after the Downgrading they talk about correct? I'm not trying to risk bricking this phone cause then I'm phoneless til I can get some spare cash -.-
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
The only way to brick, for the most part, when following the wiki guide is by mis typing something; so just double check everything before issuing the command.

There's no chance of bricking if you follow the steps. After downgrading, just look for a rooting guide. The wiki should cover everything.

[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
Homebase has dsp manager included. Not sure bout any others.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
Or wait a few more days for hopefully an alpha cm7 :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] 2JZ GZE:
Which build has DSP manager installed? I didn't see it in the deblurred version...
[HTC Sensation] jcalifornia:
I am having terrible battery life. Before upgrading to CM7 I never noticed my battery life being bad. That said I have scoured the message boards trying every solution imaginable. I typically lose about 11% of battery every 90 minutes while the phone is in standby. This bad battery life started right when I installed CM7.

What I have tried:

-Installed System Panel and I don't have any rogue apps

-Factory data wipe, cache wipe, battery stats wipe (with and without), dalvik cache wipe -> then reinstall CM7.

-Battery has been bad on Alpha 1,2,6 & 7.

-Tried both suggestions on battery life in the CM7 Bible thread under Battery Issues section

-Upgraded to FAUX kernel Joe's RCU 0.2.0

-Changed CPU to max 1026 MHz.

I have waited 1-2 days before making each change and nothing has helped or hurt the battery.

I am very happy with CM7 with everything except the terrible battery life I am experiencing.
[HTC Sensation] wixi909:
Use standard kernel without oc. It's really really good. Record us almost six days

sent from Sensation with awesome cm7!!!!
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
I am using Faux kernel with super undervolt. Battery life is still horrible comparing to other roms. maybe I will try using the stock kernel.

jcalifornia, are you also experiencing bad battery life with stock cm7 kernel?
[HTC Sensation] tuner562:
Have you tried a stock kernel, maybe GPU freq is running higher than stock.
[HTC Sensation] jcalifornia:
Yes, the bad battery life once I started using CM7. I used it for over 1 week.
[HTC Sensation] jcalifornia:
Yes, I tried the stock kernel for over 1 week and was experiencing bad battery life the entire time.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
What was your battery voltage right before it went dead? I have a feeling that our phones (or just these HTC batteries) are cutting out long before they are truly dead. I notice mine drops out at 3.4v. The battery itself is usually protected from UV at 2.8v. I am waiting for my chichitec to die now so I can compare cutout voltage.

For the record, I was seeing 18-20 hours with CM7 and faux's kernels. 1.56Ghz
[HTC Sensation] jayyo:
Since you have the issue on multiple ROMs/kernels, maybe your battery is bad/defective. Maybe T-mobile can send you a replacement under warranty? I'd call/chat with them to see. Worst they can say would be "no".

One other thing, you wouldn't happen to be using the performance governor?
[HTC Sensation] jcalifornia:
I thought the battery may be bad too, but I was getting great battery life before I went to CM7. Last night I did a "superwipe" and that seems to have fixed the problem. I am down to 71% after 9 hours when before the wipe I would be at ~25%.
[HTC Sensation] jayyo:
I guess you had something hanging around from a previous ROM somewhere. Good luck!
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
try tiamat kernel + VIpermod undervolting. It helped me a lot
[HTC Sensation] jcalifornia:
I have been using Tiamat kernel and still getting bad battery life. I flashed Vipermod and when I run su -> vipermod from a terminal it says vipermod: not found.
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
Yea Tiamat helps a bit but the bad battery life of CM7 is still inevitable I guess.

For Vipermod: (from viperboy's faq page)

or you can just use root explorer: extract the vipermod file from the zip, place it into /system/bin, change the file's permission manually, and you are good to go
[HTC Sensation] jcalifornia:
I have tried every radio and my battery life is still bad. If I recall correctly I was also getting bad battery life until the late August OTA and then my battery was great. I think I am going to have to switch back to the stock ROM because the battery life I am getting with CM7 won't cut it.
[HTC Sensation] darryll4sh0:
Try using the app battery calibrator. Or go in your recovery menu and chose advance(I think) and chose clear battery stats. But do this when your battery is full
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:

Good calibration guide, many have found that the calibration app isn't the only factor in calibrating. All it does is remove a file that Android recreates every boot.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
mine has a glitch where it switches the network it's assigned to by itself. Rogers shows up as two networks, one edge and one 3g/hspa, and I noticed if my reception is bad at a certain location it will sometimes switch to edge only, and not turn back. It's only been doing this after the update to 2.3.4

Edit/update: I figured out you can force the phone to never use edge, if you change it from wcdma preferred/gsm to only wcdma

*disclaimer, these are rom specific but I am a new register*

I am full S-off, and both roms were installed after wiping system, cache, data, and sd, as well as fix permissions (not sure what that does though)

1) In the Salt III, all wifi services are unavailable. It reports ERROR. Is this a recognized shortcoming of the rom or something that can be easily fixed?

2) In Infected: Eternity 1.3, the calibrate display setting is unable to find the service. I have noticed it in other roms as an htc package. Where can I find this package if I want to add it?

Both of these roms are excellent so far and I regret waiting so long to start rooting! Thank you in advance for any help or direction you can provide.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiZ51:
I'm going to do a factory reset on my Nexus S because I heard people who did it and managed to get a bit more of battery time (after having upgraded to a new Android version).

I bought my Nexus S about a week ago, and had to upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6, so I'm curious to see if this will do anything.

Note that it isn't rooted, so I don't know what choices I have available for backups...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
MyBackup Pro from Android Market will work to some degree on unrooted devices (paid app with free version also available)

Android will automatically save some settings if you go to Settings -> Privacy and make sure "Back up my data" and "Automatic Restore" are checked prior to factory reset

Otherwise, some apps (like launchers and alarm apps) let you save settings to the SDcard via built in menu options. this is the preferable method of saving settings, IMO
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaiZ51:
Thanks, I'll think I'll check that out.

I don't really care so much for the settings, but more the data itself. Also, if I backup using that app, will game saves like Angry Birds saves be backed up as well?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
When titanium backup backs up your stuff it will store it in your sdcard. After it does that, connect you phone to your mac or pc then copy over the titanium backup folder in your sdcard. After that root your phone, when connecting phone to mac or pc the copy backup to sdcard. Titanium backup should see it when you run the app again. ;)
