[HTC Amaze 4G] minman:
Hi all,

I got a problem about update my Amaze 4G which I brought at 5/11/11.

I had already root my phone and flash the clockworkmod recovery,

but before a few day, my phone remind my to download a system update.

When I completed download and begin to install,

my phone reboot and turn into the page follow

I saw a port http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297467

Which tell the update information

Android version : 2.3.4

HTC Sense version : 3.0

Software version : 1.36.531.5

Kernel version : 2.6.35.13-g19a3d1a

htc-kernel@u18000-build-144 #1

Build number : 1.36.531.5 CL157207 release-keys

and I check my phone information is the same as the update

So I want to ask

1) Can I update the system update by HTC after I flash the clockworkmod recovery

2) If no, how can I update my system at the future or how can I flash back the original recovery

3) Is that update in the port is the latest one

4) If I already had the latest update, why my phone will remind me to download the update

Thank a lot!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Search for the stock recovery and flash it by hboot. Then update your phone and say goodbye to root. To obtain root again you will have to install busybox and superuser.

Honestly it'll be so much easier to flash a custom rom.

As you can see in the screenshot attached, the part that I've specified with red color (and bad edit!) shows that lots if my RAM capacity is consumed by something that has not being shown in the list above.

Its way smaller when I start up the device (or install a new ROM) but gets more space from RAM after a few hours of usage.

The other question is why this part gets bigger over time and is there a way to decrease it without rebooting the device?

My phone is a Nexus S with CM7.1 on it and I even use the ramscript tweek.

if it would decrease I had no problem and wouldn't open this new thread! It's about 50 hrs that it hasn't decreased a bit.

Android only closes the cached processes when needed.

I know how android's auto RAM management works, but it doesn't work as it should IMO.

I'm using android for 2 years and yet to find a solution for this other than rebooting the device, and it only solves it for couple of hours of heavy usage.

Yes, it is the same, but when you have a device with a lot of RAM (768mb+), it doesn't really bother you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fookxixi:
I noticed the same problem. The low RAM is the main reason for most of the system and app lags. When the free RAM is above 70MB, the system is pretty smooth, but after half-day usage, it drops to <40MB and it becomes very laggy. I really hate some apps, cuz once you open them, they never quit from the RAM like facebook, google +, etc..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsw5700:
To keep free memory art a certain value, you have to set the value of low memory killer, here is a script from semaphore kernel that sets free memory to 64 mb. There are many such scripts around. Place script in init.d directory if your kernel supports this, oh, and make it executable.

#!/system/bin/sh

I use the V6 SuperCharger from the first link. It works awesom :D . With the V6 SuperCharger you do a custom setting where you can choose how much free Memory you have. One last thing, i would stay away from task killers. They tend to use more Memory then they actually save. Most of the time they kill processes that need to be running. Then those processes have to restart using even more Memory.

[HTC Sensation] SensationNation:
Hello everyone, the HTC Sensation is my first smartphone and I've had it for about two happy months. However, just today, it flashes the message "There are no calendars selected" on the bottom of my screen. I then go to check my agenda, and it doesn't show. Also, when I try to edit a task using the HTC calendar app, it FC's. I did not do anything to immediately cause the issue. (As if I were to delete a file, I would experience the repercussions right away. Not the case here)

All of my events are still visible through the "Pure Grid Calendar" widget, but not through the "Business Calendar" agenda widget.

If the fix were to require a phone-wipe, is there any way I can save everything so that my phone shall be exactly like it is at the moment, aside from the issue? (Progress in games, song ratings, etc)

Thank you for your help.

[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
you can use an app called titanium backup to help you save your applications. you wont be able to do a backup of your current state without the issue because you dont now what the issue is. Titanium backup is going to be the best best for you so you can re-install your apps one by one to narrow down your problem apps. I personally think its Go Launcher. i hate secondary launchers lol, after wiping i would install app quarantine from the market and use that to "quarantine" apps such as stock browser, set up wizard, just apps you dont use so they dont take up ram or become active in the background. just something to think about. let me know if this helped
[HTC Sensation] SensationNation:
Yes, that will help me out when I need to do a wipe. However, I just can't reason why the launcher could cause the issue. It started without any recent change to it.

I did recently add the Pure Grid widget, but that was two days ago. Could be related.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
I think the launcher trying to use its own built in apps could conflic with stock apps. Idk just my beliefs lol. I've never had a successful secondary launcher. Something like that always goes wrong. But to each his own. Just try delete a few apps that you have suspect. Reboot after each one and see if that makes a difference before you take super wipeing measures. You never know it could be something simple
[HTC Sensation] SensationNation:
The issue becomes more interesting still.

I went back to HTC Sense and the Pure Grid Calendar widget continues to work while the Business Calendar widget states that no calendars are selected. However, the HTC agenda widget shows all the tasks, while the HTC calendar widget does not!

The one thing I did like about sense was the smoothness and finished feel. But I need the customization of something like Go Launcher. If I can solve this issue, I may go for a new ROM that can do that: Go Launcher customization and themes with Sense smoothness.

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] rddocke:
SENSE 3.5 allows you to customize the widgets and has a nice feel. Most users stick with it because of the flexibility that your thinking. Maybe think about trying arhd 4.1.6

I have the same problem. The difference is that I know it isn't the luncher. I deleted on purpose my calendar app, but i also deleted the calendar sync app and now I can't use any calendars. Anyone know where I can download the original calendar app and calendar sync app?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockingpants:
I believe alot of ATNT users are sticking to their $10 a month unlimited data plan. I have recently been charged $25 for the 2gb data plan on top of the $10 after switching to the UK version of i9100 Samsung galaxy S2. Is that supposed to happen? From what I read, there is an argument that they do not have a record of the IMEI if it is not an ATNT model so they have no way to track whether the phone is a smartphone or not. One reason why I bought an unlocked phone in the first place is to take advantage of the $10 a month and not pay the absurd $25. Is anyone having the same issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florelui001p:
Which version of the galaxy do you have? The white or black one, there is actually a difference. Also did you remove your previous data plan before adding the ten dollar one?

My plan has been the 10 dollars one all along. I changed from a nokia e75 (also unlocked and not from atnt) to a white galaxy s2. Right now, from the website, my phone is registered as a blackberry curve O.o What is going on ATNT...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zedd.:
Hey, all.

I installed an app named Juice Defender on my Arc yesterday (2.3.4, .42 FW, rooted with zergrush via DooMLord's one-click root V1, bloatwares removed), to take it out for a spin.

Now the problem seems to be that there are two icons for the same app in the app list (not the home screen).

When I tap on either of them, they take me to the same app.

Now, is it possible to remove the duplicate entry from the app list or should I uninstall/install as I'm putting that off as the solution of last resort, and does anyone know what is causing the duplicate entry?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterdan1506:
Hi, I know iv posted a few threads already asking about future proofing of the Galaxy S2 however i have a different question specifically related 2 gaming and game releases and updates not hardware or OS Software.

First question is: after the Galaxy S3 will launch, in other peoples experience with Android, will the games continue 2 be developed for the GS2..aswell as GAME updates, etc? I am fairly new to Android therefore dont know much about it yet or what to expect, but from others' experience, do games still get developed for "older" devices..and if so for how long usually?

Second Question: I always use my GS2 as im a pocket gamer, the big screen is marvelous, always gets me coming back 2 the GS2. Looking at benchmark tests in comparison to iphone 4s, it only has offscreen where the 4S wins hands down... however in Native Resolution(where most ppl play the games...on the phone screen) how much difference is the 4S GPU in terms of performance? Not including offscreen... or does anyone know where to fnd the benchmarks that ARENT offscreen?

the 1 site i found is here and it seems like the GS2 wins in Native Resolution GPU performance:

http://glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?D=Samsung+GT-i9100+Galaxy+S2&benchmark=glpro21 <---- Galaxy S2

http://glbenchmark.com/phonedetails.jsp?D=Apple+iPhone+4S&benchmark=glpro21 <---- iPhone 4S

I just want to get a bit better understanding of android and my GS2 thats all, thanks :)

When playing games on iPhone 4S and the Galaxy S2, i actually dont notice too much difference... what would others prefer 2 game on and why?(excluding the fact apple has more games to choose from)??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakgs:
If gaming is your focus get the iPhone 4s. It has the best GPU atm and games are released on iOS before they get released on Android.

That being said you can use Android to game, too (actually quite well) but the iPhone still wins in that department.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterdan1506:
....OH REALLY!!!???

i know the games get released on iOS first... but the small screen is annoying sometimes depending on the game.

I wanted an in depth answer from the benchmarks i posted and all

and btw, gaming is not just my focus, the whole phone is, screen size, how long it'll last, what you are able to do on it, etc... gaming is just my question in focus!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakgs:
Then your question is much more complicated as all those factors depend on personal perception. As such you should get a hand on both devices (preferrably for a day or longer) and see which one fits your needs.

There's not really THE "in depth answer", but many answers, based on personal opinion.

So all I can offer is my reasons why I went the SGS II route:

a) I love AMOLED

b) I wanted a big screen

c) The reviews I read about it were great

d) It's very light, despite being huge

e) It's so flat

f) More of a general statement about Android: the way to customize the phone I want it, in every single way.

That being said I can see other, huge advantages for the iPhone, too:

a) Retina, it has a higher resolution than the SGS II

b) A big screen is not for everyone as some people prefer smaller phones

c) I love the glass design of the iPhone 4s

d) More games, more apps

e) Strongest GPU on the market, only rivaled by the iPad 2.

Those are my opinions about both phones, based on personal perception (I even bought my girlfriend an iPhone 4s as she has much iTunes music/movies already) and the technical facts.

As I said, that's just my opinion but I hope that you understand now, why I believe, that there is no definite answer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omega Frost:
I think the 2.x.x is a problem, not being optimized for multi core can affect overall performance since the OS mediates all the function calls but i'm not sure.

And being the hardware and software manufacturer always will give Apple some advantage, they can fine tune the software, i honestly think the Android phone lacks this skills.

But AFAIK custom roms can be more optimized than stock ones, i don't know how, but they usually scores better in benchmarks.
