The post about how megapixels don't mean crap in terms of picture quality needs to be made a sticky on this forum. I'm tired of it coming up. Take a Nikon dedicated camera that taps out at 5MP and compare it to a phone at 8MP and see which looks better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
If you have Google+ account, find Tim Bray and follow him.

He is one of the Android developer.

And he is testing the GN camera right now during his trip, posted in his Google+.

I saw the photos are amazing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
You're right the nonshaky ones look good. I'm not stunned but I would say it's really solid work for a phone camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
I'm not impressed. The night shot looked sharp for a night photo but the rest... no visible improvement compared to my Galaxy S. So much for sacrificing MP for quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sjael:
Comparison photos of the camera on the Nexus? Sure!

This is the Galaxy Nexus camera:

And this is the iPhone 4 camera:

Compare away!

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
+1 I'm actually excited to see what this camera can do. The 5 MP cam on this phone will probably blow the mytouch4g slides 8 MP away. Bottom line, galaxy nexus Is going to be one badass phone. Period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zacisblack:
Not sure what you're seeing. None of those pictures are any better than what my Fascinate takes. They should have went ahead and used the GSII camera. Seems much better than this one.

I was running .5.893 and wanted to update to .6.893. I reverted to stock .886 and applied forever root. I then installed the cheesecake app and went to staging and selected the first server. When I checked for update, it said I was up to date. Is there a way to flash the update without cheesecake, and if so, does anyone have a link to the update files?

EDIT:

Here is a solution provided by thejdog55 below. Thanks jdog.

Here's what I did:

Nandroid

One click back to stock and root/forever root: http://xdaforums.com/show...62&postcount=1

Download this: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/d...tml#post106190

Copy the file to SD card and boot into CWM and flash that. It will get your system up to 5.5.893, and reboot.

DL this: http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=450

Copy the 5.6.893 file to SD card and boot into STOCK RECOVERY(power down, hold volume down, then power on. Hold both volume buttons while in fast boot and press the power button)

Click apply zip from SD Card, make sure you choose the 5.6.983 file, it's going to say 5.5.893 so you may want to delete the 5.5.893 system zip so you don't get confused.

Nandroid again, this way if another update comes out, which 5.7.893 was just found, you can just restore to this and update instead of having to go through the whole process.

After it's done boot up and then you can boot back into CWM and restore your nandroid you made in the very beginning. The 5.6.893 updates the LTE radio mostly, but it seems to correct a problem 5.5.893 was having when switching between modes and losing data connection

The bootloader unlock research thread and Cheesecake thread have a lot more information, so I'd say read all of that before doing this because you don't want to mess up. If you don't really understand what I'm talking about RESEARCH! A lot! Rootzwiki and mydroidworld forums have a lot of information as well.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Hey dude, questions go in general! Not to mention, there are about 100000 threads already talking about the same thing. Maybe search before you post, and read!

Annoying.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
Gee with all the policing of threads you do, you would think they would make you a moderator already. Although maybe the fact that they have not should tell you to calm down a little. I have looked for threads, and searched. I have not seen anyone with the same issue of no update being identified.

You constantly tell people to search when the issue they are raising has not been raised before. Please think next time before you flame someone for the thousandth time. I am sure many people feel the same way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
someone has put up a link to the newest update, it is out there if you read through the pages

the method to use it is also out there for you to find if you read

use the damn search button instead of starting a thread looking for someone to give you the answer on a platter
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
I got the same problem.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
If you read the forever root + 893 = winning thread your problem has been asked and answered multiple times. Why should anyone help you if you're lazy and can't help yourself.

Also it belongs in general.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
I downloaded the newest update. I cannot find how to apply it.

It is amazing how many people have time to go around doing nothing else but criticize people who cannot find the information they are looking for.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
Did you read ALL 341 POSTS????? Just shut off if you can't get the answer. I can't find answer in forever root + 893 = winning thread
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
Ive looked in that thread too, and the answer is not there. Unfortunately, some people would rather be a**holes and tell someone to search than to be helpful. I guess for them it makes them feel better about themselves. If I find the answer ddv, I will let you know.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
has nothing to do with making myself feel better

it has everything to do with being tired of seeing the same questions asked over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over...

if I can use the search button so can you can you, help yourself
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
Yes I have read all the posts.

Listen its not about not wanting to help, but there is an ettique to follow. Do you stop at a stop sign even if no one is there?

In that thread there posts pointing everyone where to go if they didn't follow instructions, and how to fix it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
How are we the bad guys because you didn't follow instructions, and don't want to research your mistake?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
I can use the search button. What I cannot do is find an answer to my problem. You have responded twice, in neither case did you provide any help, but only scolded. If you were not going to be helpful, there is no reason for you to respond. Therefore, the only reason I can think of is that you get some feeling of joy being superior to others, and insulting them. Good for you.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
You don't want to research my mistake, well I did not ask you for any help. I asked those willing to help for help. If you are unwilling to help, move along. You are the bad guy for feeling the need to respond when you had no intention of being helpful.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ddv2005:
Did you check instruction NOW??? May be you have to shut off if you don't understand the question? It show update yesterday for me but NOW it is UP TO DATE and no update anymore.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:
Have you checked all the servers in cheesecake? Try the first option under staging
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
This is rich from the person who is trolling the thread. Take your own advice here, and next time you feel like responding to a thread you do not have anything helpful to contribute, move along.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lawtalking:
This is the one I have been checking. It is where I was previously able to get the update. Now it says I am up to date. And thank you for actually trying to help. I can assure you it is not just me and ddv who have been having this problem, and there is no place where a solution is easily found. If we can find the answer here, I can change the OP to let others know what to do. This will actually help avoid extra threads. But where the solution to a problem is contained parts in different threads, including threads that are hundreds of posts long, many people will not be able to find a solution.

OP, don't feel bad about asking questions. We all use this forum to be properly informed, if other members get pissy because you're cluttering up "their" precious forums with too many topics, they can f right off. Am I saying that the dev sections was the right section to put it in? That's for a moderator to decide, and as far as I can tell, no one that has posted is a moderator, so they can also f right off and take their bashing with them.

It's not like you have some sinister motive behind making this topic just to piss people off, you're just trying to enjoy the phone like the rest of us. And even if someone were doing just that...people need to report, not reply, and let the mods do their job. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Dakota0206:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
Hey guys.

A while ago I`ve rooted my hTC Desire and did an S-OFF, to be able to install custom ROMs.

I`ve "tested" a few custom ROMs, but none of them seemed to be stable.

Currently I`m on SuperNova_Classic_2.0.2.0 with built in Data2SD (iData2SD)(the idea is to have a stable rooted ROM, with DATA2SD and Sense), but every time I flash the rom, then install my fav apps, the phone keeps freezing at certain points, sometimes it runs OK for a week - with no freezing - other times it freezes in the first couple of days after ROM flash. I`ve tried not to install that many apps, but I`m still facing this freeze problem.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Here are the steps I took for ROM flashing

1. Created a 1GB ext4 partition on SD-CARD, preceded by a FAT32 partition(as required in the tutorial of Supernova)

2. Rebooted into Recovery - wiped data/factory reset; wiped cache partition; wiped Dalvik Cache

3. Installed the ROM zip file from SD-CARD; on first boot, except for the Wi-Fi connection, I haven`t touched anything(google accounts etc. - skipped all steps - ), waited for the system to stabilyze, then did a normal reboot in order for the DATA2SD function to work. After next reboot, DATA2SD was working properly(I even had the pink LED light up), Storage Information was showing the 1GB ext partition as an internal memory.

4. Installed all my apps, configured phone, widgets etc.

This way, at a certain point, the phone simply freezes, have to remove the battery to be able to use it again.

Here are my phone specs:

Bravo PVT1 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-6.93.1002

MICROP-031d

TOUCH PANel-SYNT0101

RADIO-5.17.05.23

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

Transcend class 4 - 16GB microSD card

I`ve searched and searched on xda-developers, but haven`t found an answer for my problem, yet.

What am I doing wrong here?

Any help would be DEEPLY appreciated !!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun442k:
This is no help to you.... but I'm having exactly the same issue.

Sometimes it freezes when starting a game, but most of the time it won't unlock(ie phone unresponsive when I try to wake it).

This is not ROM related as it happened on several different Roms, with a full wipe between. I'm not overclocking.

The only things I can think of are:

-Partially corrupt ext partition on SD.

-failing hardware.

-some other sw issue ie radio(which has worked for a while before this started happening).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
Thanks for your reply, Shaun - it does help, at least now I`m not alone in this :)

You`re right, it`t not ROM related, I`ve tried different ROMs myself, same problem.

I`ve also tried another SD CARD (class 2).

I don`t think it`s the radio, I have the latest version, the version required on Supernova tutorial for best compliance.

I really don`t want to believe that it`s a hardware fault, as I didn`t overclock either and always read/followed the exact right/official steps in root-ing/flashing ROMs.

I`ve reinstalled Supernova now, with absolutely no additional installation of fav apps. Going on 2 days with no freezeing, so far.

I`ll keep post-ing if any new developments occur.

Cheers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun442k:
You've not installed any apps at all? hmmm.

When you do re-install your apps(I assume from Titanium backup?), it'd be interesting to see if it starts freezing again.

This would then suggest either a dodgy app that we both have, or titanium backup itself causing the issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What SD card specs?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun442k:
I'm using the same card that i've had for the last 18 months-

it's an 8gb class 2 card with 768mb partition, the rest is Fat32.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
I`ve started reinstalling some of the apps, the most important ones, like iGo, YahooMessenger, YahooMail, etc., but didn`t use Titanium Backup, installed them manually using Market.

So far, so good, no freezing.

My SD CARD specs: Transcend Class 4 - 16GB; 1GB ext2 partition for apps, and the rest is FAT32.

LE

I could be wrong, but from what I`ve seen so far, I would recommend NOT to use widgets that require superuser permissions. Also, before flashing any pre-rooted ROM, be sure to turn "Signature verification" OFF, in the phone`s "Recovery" screen options. If your ROM has any kind of "Data2SD" scripts integrated, after flashing ROM - at first boot, DO NOT configure anything (google account, sync, etc.), DO NOT download/install any apps yet, ONLY enter the Wi-Fi settings(if that is the case); leave the system to stabylize, then do a normal reboot(if the ROM supports "Fast boot" - turn it OFF before rebooting). At second normal boot, the DATA2SD scripts should kick in ( u should see the phone`s notification LED turn to: pink or blue - depending on the script used by the ROM).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
A class 2 is a definite no no for Data2sd IMHO. Class 4 is debatable. I had a bit of lag with an older version of data2sd on a class 4. It may be better now, Depends what speed the card writes at really. If its minimum for class (4 MB/s) that could be a bit touch and go. EXT 4 would be the best option for the 2nd partition

I recommend using an a2sd+ solution temporarily to see if the freezes go away
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
I would mind the lag, I didn`t get any lag using my card though, but just saying, would mind if it would be laggy, the real problem is the constant freezing I`ve had.

If it`ll freeze again, I think I`ll go back to stock Froyo, use Apps2SD and install only the bare minimum.

U know, another thing I never quite understood, I think hTC makes one of the best smartphones on the market, but they limit their possibilites with small batteries and very little internal storage space. What`s up with that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun442k:
I'm not using Data2SD. I'm using A2sd+. Same partition that I used on my Hero, and now my Desire for the last 14 months. Still getting freezes.

I don't think it's a speed issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
a2sd should be fine on a class 2. What a2sd solution is it? Did you move dalvik too?

Its just a logical approach thats needed.

1) Eliminate the SD card by not running from it.

2) Change the rom

3) RUU

If after all that it still freezes, sounds like HW....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun442k:
Yeah that's pretty much what I was thinking.

I'm currently on InsertCoin with A2SD+. I was on LeeDroid, then RunnyMede before that with the same issue. I did a full wipe when swapping Roms. Not sure about Dalvik- if it's done in the Rom then yes, otherwise I haven't consciously moved it.

1) I might try a different SD that i have lying around- Nandroid it etc.

2) As above, already done that.

3) Last resort. Although a rooted RUU wouldn't be a massive issue for a day or 2.

If it's HW, I better get some insurance.

Edited to add: my SD card is actually a class 4. SD card tests suggests read speeds of 19-20mb/s and write speeds of 7-9mb/s.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun442k:
Fixed my issue. It's the Kernel. Apparently the latest 2 kernels have the ability to undervoltage when not in use. Unfortunately, this can also cause the lockups i've(and possibly you've) been experiencing.

The last kernel without this in is: 2.6.35.14_110911.

This has 100% solved my issue and I recommended flashing it if you still having the same issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
Great.

If I get another freeze, I`ll flash the 2.6.35.14_110911 kernel u`ve recommended.

Thanks a lot, dude.

If ever in Romania, look me up, got a few beers with your name on them :)

LE

If it`s not too much to ask, could you possibly post a download link for that kernel version?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun442k:
No problem. ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronok:
I'll join the club. I have 2 SD cards:

Samsung 16gb class 6

Sandisk 8gb class 2

Regardless of what ROM I use, I get random freezes with the first card (which should be the best of the two). I tried GB ROMs with sense 2.1, 3.0 and 3.5. The only ROMs that don't freeze are ASOP ROMs. I suppose that's because they don't use an EXT partition.

I tried to format, reformat, partition, repartition,... with different tools: windows, adb, Gparted Live, recovery. Recently I flashed 4EXT recovery to create a clean EXT4 partition, but the ROM (Runnymede 5.0) froze a few hours after first boot.

Well, at the moment I'm using the slower 8GB card, so I'm fine. I want to use the 16gb though... :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Just trash the card. It's bad.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronok:
I'll try to get a refund, It's quite new, and not cheap (not from eBay).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_cs_u:
Try ur class 6 card with Runnymede 5.3, it`s downloadable now.

Run the a2sd-b4 script right after flashing the ROM(with no reboots between the two flashings). Should run fine, if not, ur SD card is faulty.

Full wipe if coming from another ROM, wipe both cache and Dalvik.

I got a lot of freezes too, Runnymede 5.3 on the other hand took care of that problem for me.

I`ve flashed Runnymede 5.3 while on "HBOOT Data++" version.

Hope this helps.

Same Problem Here

I tried SuperNova, GingerBurst, AceSMod007, AcesMod007 3D but all of them had the same problem. The Touch Screen Freezes. The Stablest one's are AOSP ROM's currently I am on CM7.1 it runs very smooth.

Giving try to InsertCoin ROM though It is out of development.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehTerminator:
InsertCoin Works Great

I think InsertCoin Rom is probably the best among the sense ROms that I have tried. Internal storage is not that huge as compared to Supernova still is enough for my day to day use, after 1 day still no FC, Freeze, or anyother problem.

HTC Desire freezing

Hi

I've been having a problem with my HTC (unrooted) Desire freezing for a while now. It's been back to the manufacturer and had a new board fitted twice but still the problem continues.

As the problem started again I decided to try a factory reset as advised elsewhere on the Internet to see if it solved the problem but in a few days it was doing it again.

So after another factory reset I tried again but without re-installing apps.

To cut a long story short I found the culprit - FACEBOOK. Having uninstalled all the updates and being left with just the factory install that came with the phone the problem has disappeared.:)

Hope this helps.:fingers-crossed:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tad_gr:
I had the same problem for months

My desire was freezing without reason

I observe that the problem was happening when my sim card was into the phone, I put a new sim card but the problem was here

today i am very happy because found the solution, was very easy!!!

Buy a new SDCARD!!! the problem was coming from sd card because was corrupted for 1-2 seconds and the system of the phone was corrupted with this.

I hope you have your solution
