[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
yeah using oxygen is a good idea..

Problem is i couldn't flash it so maybe if u

could make a soft-mod on it i could use that!! :):)

Also i never use theme chooser! :):)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
OK. I see that Theme Chooser is not essential. To me, speed and battery life is more important. I will base R4 on the Oxygen ROM.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
yeah oxygen is good
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
yeah i think speed and battery is more important

than themes!! :):)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
I guess the base rom will remain Swiftdroid, but SDSL 2 with SDSL 1 boot.img. I hope it's a good choice!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
LOL! lets see how that turns out!! ;)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fdespotovski:
I guess the development of R4 will start tomorrow.
[Dell Venue] bizkdigy:
Hi there!,

I have a Dell Venue (not Pro) locked to AT&T, is there any way to unlock it to any GSM carrier?, Ive tried to buy an unlock code on ebay but no one seem to find the code on the database..

Any help would be appreciated!,

Thanks :)
[Dell Venue] Corias:
Almost same thing as threadstarter. Could I get rid of SIM lock through flashing another region's ROM?
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
Here's what I know: I bought the unlocked version and it is compatible with both at&t and t-mobile, all I have to do is sawp sim cards. Try that and see if it works. There's not that much difference between the two, they are both gsm carriers. let me know if this helps.:)
[Dell Venue] coolmen777:
Unlocked Venue

I wasn't aware that Dell was selling any locked versions of its Venue. I thought there were only 2 versions (AT&T vs T-mobile) but they were both unlocked and can be used for voice on any GSM network. The difference would only be noticed on a data connection (3G) as AT&T is using (850/1900/2100) and T-mobile is running on AWS (900/1700/2100). T-mobile's version would run on EDGE with AT&T SIM and vise versa. Is that the general consensus?

Source (scroll down to bottom)
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
All Dell Venues are unlocked, you have 3 options: 1. buy without contracts, 2. buy with at&t contract, 3. buy with T-Mobile contract

for me 2 and 3 not an option, I went with the full price $350 with no contracts attached.
[Dell Venue] Dr_Wolodya:

I need unlock Dell Venue.

Any news?

I am ready to buy unlock code.

Locked to ATT.
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
Dr_Wolodya,

Try this. Send an email to UnlockCodeRequest@Dell.com and in the body of the email write something like:

"Hello,

I am scheduled to travel overseas and would need to use my phone internationally using a different SIM card. I initially contacted ATT but they told me to contact you and provide my IMEI number. Could you please assist me with the unlock code for my Dell Venue phone? The phone IMEI is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Thank you in advance."

See if that helps. Good luck!
[Dell Venue] Dr_Wolodya:
Unfortunately me - here is answer:

Dear Customer,

The below device is a retail piece. Please contact carrier with proof of payment in order to procure the code also do let the carriers know that the below device is a retail piece.

[HTC Amaze 4G] greengoldmello:
HTC has always seemed to ship their nice phones with a ****ty headphone amp. I have owned about 5-6 HTC android devices and NONE have been loud enough. I am wondering if this one will be comparable to the Galaxy S II in volume?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Reviewers:
It's pretty good , but download the PowerAmp music application , it has a built in EQ so you could get it way louder .

Hello,

Is it possible to make an zip of a running rom,

I ask this because I always flash a other rom and really like the one I'm running now with al my personal changes, and in the past the backup recovery didn't work for me
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowch31:
Have you tried bart or switchrom from the recovery console?

If all else fails Titanium Backup on market can save apps and setting and restore from a clean install, tis better than nowt lol

[LG Optimus 2x] raliSHA:
I am currently using a Motorola defy but am looking at upgrade options. The 2x is by far the cheapest dual core regarding the plan i have in mind of taking with my provider. So, Im interested if someone could tell me what were your experiences after some time of use....i am mostly concerned by the reliability and the number of different problems that people seem to be having with this model hardwarewise...is the build quality really somewhat below standard od are those just som erotten apples? :D

Also, regarding rooting, flashing and all similar procedures, how would you rate the respective ease of those activities on the 2x comparing to other handsets? :)
[LG Optimus 2x] ghadap:
Not recommended.. buy Samsung Galaxy S II..
[LG Optimus 2x] gaspernemec:
Yeah, if you want good dual core phone go for Samsung galaxy sII, HTC sensation or simply wait for nexus prime.
[LG Optimus 2x] sanriver12:
hell no.

if you want a cheap dual core, get the atrix

if you want to be absolutely satisfied with your phone, get the galaxy s2
[LG Optimus 2x] raliSHA:
wow, that bad or are you just being ironic :D

Guess it is going to be saving time then because the other options are at least 50% more expensive from my standpoint.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Optimus just needs more ram
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
There are better phones out there, I agree, but the 2x holds its own. I'd say go for it if you are on a tight budget.
[LG Optimus 2x] raf2k:
We are not ironic, just do a search on xda, and you'll find 20 more topics about how ****y o2x is.
[LG Optimus 2x] SunSetsForever:
No.

As others have pointed out:

Sensation (and XL) and Galaxy S2:

- Have much better versions of Android installed by default.

- Have better screens and hardware in general.

- Have companies who have improved their updating policy greatly.

Not to mention Nexus Prime, if the one who is asking is willing to wait.

Even after installing custom ROMs on this thing, I sometimes miss my HTC Desire with Oxygen ROM.
[LG Optimus 2x] vtracer20:
no due to the fact it's a LG phone. Spec wise the phone is great, stock software is ****. Other phones and companies seem to get updates out faster i would recommend anyone other one of them.
[LG Optimus 2x] ThePigletWhisperer:
Like i keep saying.

Optimus 2x = Great hardware and built quality (GS2 built quality sucks IMO)

= Bad stock Rom.

So!

If your planning on installing a custom rom, like cyanogenmod, its probably the best device for the price by a mile. Am more than satisfied with CM. It's super fast stable and responsive.

If your planning to stay on stock, dont bother.

Period
[LG Optimus 2x] luka2858:
I am on stock euro open v10d,and it is flawless!
[LG Optimus 2x] rQvsnaps:
If you plan on using custom firmware I would recommend it, especially cm7 feels great if you can do without fm radio.

If you're buying a phone planning to stay on the default firmware, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
[LG Optimus 2x] d4m4n:
I can really recommend this phone. Good bang for the buck.

I have no BSOD. Maybe a reboot once a month.

Good camera. Latest software quite good.

I'm going to try CM7 next since it got A2DP support now.
[LG Optimus 2x] ico86:
Do contacts link with facebook contacts? (profile picture, status update...)

Witch one would you buy: optimus 2x or xperia arc ??
[LG Optimus 2x] CescMusta:
It is a great phone, but if you want good service , then buy another one ...
[LG Optimus 2x] mh1337:
Don't buy lg, no updates
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
It's a good phone.

Stock software was really bad at first, latest Froyo (and baseband) works good but flashing newer custom ROM's based on GB leaks made it awesome :cool:

Our developers always have something better to work with, even without full support by LG or nVidia. I mean, just look what Samsung and Sony Ericsson did by recognizing community efforts and I believe LG will do the same, in time. After all, Optimus 2X was their first attempt to play hi-end game and was released only 9 months ago. So stop whining. HTC was on the same level just last year... Been there, done that - I had HTC Hero. Now they are praised, but last year only hated. :rolleyes:

Never tried CM, there were too many setbacks at first, some are solved by now but really never had any need... Just waiting for Topogigi's 2.0 and new HP kernel. Don't expect too much from LG, follow xda devs and Paul from MoDaCo of course. Flashing is easy and device is un-brickeable :D
[LG Optimus 2x] raliSHA:
Yeah, I was thinking if I buy it to definitely flash some custom rom so this is good info, thx . :)
[LG Optimus 2x] gladfisk:
I can only recommendation the phone, i know five people with the ox2 and no one has hade any problems. I have tried cm and the leaked ginger but i am back on stock rom now.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Sonofagun72:
So im a long time lurker back all the way to the OG Incredible and never experienced a problem like this before. My problem first started with Cyanogen Nightly 71 I had been using it as my daily for a few days when the lockscreen started to no longer function. :confused:

The softkeys light up but the display is off and doesn't come back on. I figured restoring would fix the issue but ended with the same result. I've tried restoring older nighties, factory reset, clearing caches, fixing permissions, and installing other ASOP roms like liquid and the CM7.1 "Stable" but as soon as the phone locks it no longer wakes up. Currently i was able to restore to Newts Incredible HD but i cant live without ASOP if you have any ideas on what has happened or how to fix this please help out and thanks in advance.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Beefcake550:
Hi All,

I'm a new registered user, so I can't put this in the developer forum yet.

I noticed a problem where I was losing battery power quickly, so I foudn a posting that said to do a "super" wipe. This was to one click recovery to stock, root, bootstrap, then boot into recovery to wipe cache, data, dalvik, format /system, wipe cache, data, install theory ROM 1.7. after clearing dalvik the second time, I threw in a "clear battery stats" for good measure.

What I noticed was this: prior to attempting any of this, the phone reported to be 96% to capacity and said it was "full" so it wouldn't charge any longer. After doing the sequence above, upon initial boot up, the battery was now reporting 88% and was charging again.

It would seem like the mechanism for reporting the battery usage is flawed in some way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
I am running a few days of testing but the calibration methods are to drain fully, and charge (while device is off) to 100%, unplug and before turning on, charge additional. Before my full charge read 95%, on 1.7. I did the above and now it read 100%.

From the beginning, here's how my battery life was:

Day one: full drain with performance mode, I received 8-9 hours. Used maybe 60 mins of voice, email sync w gmail and touchdown, sent about 100-150 texts. Watched 2 episodes of the community streaming from zumocast on 4g radio all day, used Pandora a few times.

Night one: night time saver mode, this is where I discovered my full charge was only 95. My night time mode activates at 10pm, my "full charge" completed at 7pm, used Pandora

On the ride to the gym, had minimal texts, email sync, twenty min phone call, 4g radio on. Went to bed at 10pm left phone idle, no charge. Woke up at 630am night time saver ends at 5am, device reported almost 12 hrs idle time, 40% battery left. Pandora to work, 4g only, synced mail, browsed YouTube, Facebook, no calls. phone full drained around 1140am. So almost 16-17 hrs on one charge, but the high light was 5 hrs from 40% battery... Last to note, I never turned off blue tooth.

Currently, after full charge 100%(not like previous 95) I'm at 1hr26 mins and at 85% bat...same usage, same battery mode

Ill get further results soon.

Update: now at 55%, 3:55hrs on track for about 8-9hrs ... Not using app killers to add or any battery apps. Problem seems sporadic but I'm going to try to run full battery to full drain on performance mode to optimize..in my past experience Droid 1 and Droid x, over time the battery adapts or the phone adapts to the battery usage ... Could be a myth or fantasy ...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Beefcake550:
Thanks a bunch for the info. I am in the process of doing the full drain right now. Hopefully, it will show some results.

-Brian
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Our phones read fully-charged at 95 percent, but if you keep it plugged in it will get to 100 - it just takes a good while.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MillionManMosh:
There's a trick to that. Yank the back back cover, pull the battery, and unplug the phone. Plug the phone back in and wait for the "missing battery" icon to show, then slide the battery back in. It will initially read 5%- wait for it to charge to full, which should take 10-15 min. Repeat this process until the status reads 100% charged within a few seconds of putting the battery back in. Reboot into CWM and wipe the battery stats (or use the battery calibration app that's on the marketplace, if you don't use CWM) and you should be seeing a batter that's not only noticably more accurate in its charge level, but also charges more completely, resulting in somewhat better longevity.

You want to drain it fully and let it charge back up fully at least once after this process for best results.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
This is a good trick, one I was taught by juhde. I used it on my x2 to great results.

However, I can't get it to read on my bionic. I get the '?' but nothing after I reinsert the battery.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MillionManMosh:
I find it only works when I unplug it and plug it back in just before inserting the battery. It sometimes also helps to hold down the power button for a few seconds with both the battery and charger out in between 'bumps'.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jandik22:
my fix

I have flashed every update since the first post and had battery issues starting around 1.5. After reading through the dev thread a bunch it seemed as the when performing wipes, they did not come out "clean" after one wipe. So I started at one wipe of each (factory reset, system, cache and dalvik) and the problem persisted. I then did 2 wipes of each, then 3 and 4. after 4 wipes of each all my issues had been resolved. not sure if it will work for everyone but it was the turning point for my device and might be a good starting point for anyone who is as annoyed as i was. good luck!!!!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
Update:

Was able to repeat 17 hrs with custom settings: data off @30 min peak/off peak. Blue tooth was on the entire time, cell idle and Bluetooth were 30% consumption each.

Right now I'm in full performance on track to do 9.5 hrs. I've been playing Pandora for an hour every other hour, and did not kill its process.

I think the most practical usage is to cut data when not used for 30 min, I couldn't imagine anyone on their phone doing multiple things for 8+ hrs STRAIGHT. I'm running unleashed 1.7, no radio problems and no slow downs.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kredlash:
My brother has been getting twice the battery life that I am getting. The only difference is I have rom installed, and he just debloated. I have a switch out extended battery coming from Verizon and if that doesn't work I may just drop back to stock debloated.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
I'm at 10hrs 11 min running performance mode, Bluetooth had been on all day. Cell idle 32%, blue tooth 30%, phone idle 25%, display 7% consumption. No data sync interrupts.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kredlash:
And your battery is drained? Or at a certain percentage?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nosit1:
I think I have a faulty battery, I can't last 5 hours on a battery anymore. I'm going to go to VZW and see if I can pickup a spare and test that one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] volcomguyaz:
This rom has absolutely nothing going for it. v1.7 and $6 will get you a cup of coffee from Starbucks. I have never flashed to stock as quickly as I did with this rom, since my first smart phone. Is this guy/team the only Dev with a Bionic??

Downloading/flashing on the fly (streamlined) is great however, what are we going to flash folks? 1.8??

Yes I know theory is only playing the hand he was delt but its clearly time to fold.

This makes me nervous.

For the issue regarding battery life..flash back to stock. Wait for the next developer.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
Yeah? And what was the issue you had? ANY ROM you flash will nuke the battery stats and need to be recalibrated. Simple as that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
Sorry, yes it was at 5% when posted that, and that was right before my car ride with Pandora playing through Bluetooth.

The end time was 10hrs 35mins.

Since then, I have done a 4x complete wipe, cleared previous traces of unthrottle and flashed 1.7 again, disabled automatic restore apps while synching with google. I used the battery calibration app from the market this morning and have set custom battery management to turn data off every 15 mins of non use. This is practical since the power boost script shortens the time to speed up, so data on/off shouldn't affect performance. I'll update at the end of the work day. Currently at:

85%

1Hr 21mins

Maps 43% consumption (I'm adding GPS on all day in addition to blue tooth all day)

Cell idle 19%

Blue tooth 18%

Phone idle 14%
[Motorola Droid Bionic] efingguy:
I just want to add, I'm absolutely loving this ROM. I would advise to check your steps if you are experiencing problems, and as always, keep in mind that its an ongoing development.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jblade:
By your justification you are not getting normal/average battery life.

You are disabling data and your cellphone when not in use just to get close to average.

My battery drain has been pretty bad.

I have done all required steps (multiple times) but it still seems like the phone is just flushing the battery out of it.

The best life i have gotten is when (the other day) I was working from home and completely forgot about my phone.

I left it unplugged and after about 8 hours (of literally ZERO use no WIFI) the battery was at around 36%

Its like its pumping it out at full blast no matter what.

Note: I have all powerboost mods installed.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kredlash:
I just flashed back to stock, have the same apps and still getting the same battery life. I am actually getting more network disconnects for some reason, however common sense says that has nothing to do with stock rom or DT rom. Its a driver issue that will be getting resolved in Nov (hopefully) . Flashing back to my sexy DT rom tonight, with a full wipe.
