[Droid 2 Global General] feildowheat:
I recently took a big step and rooted my D2G (had a bad expeirience last time when i rooted it and flashed a rom). ive read alot on overclocking and underclocking and have learned most of the basics about it but still have some little questions im unsure of. Btw i use setCPU with no roms or different kernals or any of those things. (btw im a noob when it comes to phone tech and stuff so be nice to me plz)

1. How do i overclock my phone past 1.2Ghz? I read that only certain kernals allow you to overclock past 1.2. If so does that mean all i have to do is install a different kernal or what? i was also reading about CM7 and was thinking about flashing to that to see what it does. Does CM7 come with like a different kernal when you install it that allows you to do that or what?

2. What are the risks of Overclocking/Underclocking. I know that overclocking lets makes ur phone overheat alot faster and that can easily damage the phone but other then that does it hurt ur phone in other ways? also what would underclocking do? I read that it can make ur phone a little laggy and can possibly freeze it but i read to fix that all you need to do is pull the battery and start it up again which doesnt sound that bad.

3. how far can i underclock my phone to where i cant use apps or surf the web. The one reason i ask this is because this summer i will be going on vacation and am going to be taking an airplane. to pass time on the plane i planned on putting a couple of movies on my phone to watch but i fear that this will drain my battery realy fast. what if i were to underclock down to 300Mhz and then play the movie? would that save me any batter life at all and what would happen to the movie? would it still be able to play fine or would it be all jumpy? Would i even be able to play an games on my phone with it underclocked that much?

Sorry if any of these questions have been posted in other threads before, i searched for a couple days and tried to do as much research as i could on my own before coming here and asking. Many Thanks

thanks ive read all those posts before and they didnt help me much. plus none of them helped me with my third question
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
so underclock and see what happens, not that hard, really depends on your phone

if it doesn't run smooth @ 300 bump up to 400 or 800

takes 2 secs

I would recommend quickclock, it's in the market and fully supports the d2g. It allows you to run a calibration test and determines stable oc and uv. I use it on my d2g and dx.

My new GNex is stock,rooted, w/CWM Touch 5.8.0.2 . If I flash back to stock unrooted, will I be able to receive OTA update to IMM30B?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diver47591:
Thanks for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No need to unroot. The update will still work even with root. However, you need to flash back the stock recovery, or the update won't install automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
If you get OTA root keeper https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper by supercurio you won't even loose root after the update, well thats the idea. Our phone is supported and I'm waiting to try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diver47591:
Flashed back to stock recovery,installed OTA Rootkeeper, selected "temporary unroot",checked for systems update, says"your system is up to date",still on 4.0.2 ICL53F. Any suggrstions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Do you have the GSM version or the CDMA version?

ICL53F is the latest update for the GSM version. If you have the CDMA version, just update it manually. Look here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] --GNex--:
Is there such a big advantage to be just rooted ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can run apps that require root... :)

Some examples: Root Explorer, Light Flow, AdFree, Market Enabler, Quick Boot, Titanium Backup
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can run root apps, but don't have a custom ROM. If you don't need root apps, then don't root :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Could be wrong but last I checked 4.0.2 was the last official OTA for the CDMA nexus as well. Only two or so people received 4.0.4 and that was a fluke. But like I said, I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
This is true. 4.0.2 is the latest official OTA for GSM and CDMA. Until 4.0.4 is rolling out to everyone, I don't call it "official".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It may not be widespread yet, but if there is an official download link available (i.e., like this http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-mysid-IMM30B-from-ICL53F.659e0a8f.zip), in my opinion it's pretty official.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Thanks, wasn't aware of that. I haven't had a nexus since right around the first two people got that update so I thought it was a fluke

[Focus General] samsungfocus12:
Hello Guys,

I have a new Samsung Focus, around 3 days old.. I have been given a 1650 mAH battery. The battery life is terrible, discharges like 10% in one hour with hardly any usage with Wifi OFF, Edge ON, auto brightness and all the power saver methods applied.

Should i charge it overnight or something ? Like 12 hours at a stretch or something?

Pls help
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
I'd take the battery out and feel it. If it's a Samsung battery, it should be perfectly flat on the sides. I was having terrible battery life, and it was because the battery had gone so bad that it was bulging.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Can you please detail your WP7 OS build, if it's an OEM Samsung battery or a generic one? It looks like you have a bad battery, same conditions as yours my one year+ OEM battery holds 3days+

There's also a specific thread for battery life I started a while ago over here
[Focus General] samsungfocus12:
The battery is curved on the left and right sides, flat on the top and bottom. Its a SAMSUNG battery EB575152LU 1650 mAh. I am not sure if its OEM or generic :(

OS version : 7.10.7720.68

Should i ask the seller to send me a 1500mAh NEW battery? mayb thats causing the issues?

Or I should wait for a few charge cycles to complete?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
With the infos that you just shared, it looks as the battery has gone bad.

I wasn't aware of an OEM battery 1650 mAh, see my reply here. Can you confirm it looks like that or maybe post a photo of it?

Keep in mind that cheap batteries look like those but there are significant differences, but you'd need an original battery for comparison.

Even one of my chinese cheap batteries still holds 70-80% of the regular battery... (that's 2+ days in the conditions you mentioned above)
[Focus General] samsungfocus12:
It looks just like the one in your post, except for 1650mAh. Looks like original/OEM Samsung.. will send pics once i get home.

Morning charge was at 100% . Hardly any usage, some amount of whatsapp texting, now phone is switched off :(

The seller has agreed to send a replacement battery. I am just hoping that it is not a phone fault or Mango update screwed it up. Can it be a phone issue?

Checked on amazon, one guy said The battery does not hold charge, otehr said that NEAR FIELD COMMUNICATIOn should be written below Samsung, which is not the case in mine.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
7720 has quite good battery life so shouldn't be a phone issue. I have 2 Focuses and both hold about the same and from what I've read so far, only a big hardware problem (like phone overheating) could cause so dramatic battery discharge. Also, weak network signal might cause faster drainage, but not at this rate. You can try switching 3G off (lowering to EDGE) and see if it makes any difference.
[Focus General] samsungfocus12:
Hmm.. I even turned off 3G. Let me check again.

If I install any customs WP7 roms , will it make a difference.?

I 'll re check once i get the new batteries..

Thanks for your help. Appreciated :)
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
The dft/miro custom roms offer better battery life, but by a margin, don't expect miracles. Your battery should be able to hold more than a day in your conditions, and I bet that's to blame in your case.

Let us know how it goes with the new battery.
[Focus General] samsungfocus12:
Thanks for your help.

Now, the battery life has increased quite a bit.. getting around 12 hours on a full charge using the same 1650mAh battery . new one is yet to arrive.

Heard 8107 update considerably increases the battery life? but i have ATT uncloked focus in India. If i use ChevronWP7 to unlock it , it gets relocked on zune sync right? I am confused as to "relock" here is whether Carrier relock like I cannot use my local GSM sim here? or developer relock? I am sorry, new to all this :)
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Read my post here. Ignore any flashing, just understand the steps and what's written there (eg: Flashing, downgrading, upgrading firmware etc does not affect Network Unlock). ;)

Basically, after you unlock with WindowsBreak project, you just need to run steps 3 and 4 there.
[Focus General] alejandroelmej:
what is the most powerful battery out there for our focus??? any suggestion?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Read this post on the battery life thread. It's a Samsung EB625152VA (OEM) battery of 1800 mAh. There are others labelled with more mAh, but many are scams, rebranded.
[Focus General] aFaridun:
15% in 1 hour

While surfing in internet via wifi, in 1 hour it drains 15% of battery, is it normal?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Continuous browsing/data transfer, yes, it's about normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EVOO2:
Hello all

I haven't seen the issue below posted so I thought I'd put it out there and maybe we can figure out whats going on.

I recently purchased an ATT Galaxy Note because of price and vanity :D. I have an ATT Galaxy Note which I have rooted using mashi's ROM. Its unlocked. It has Rogers LTE sim and I have an LTE data plan. However I do not appear to get LTE connection/speeds. No LTE indication in the top bar. Speed test reveals HSPA+ - esque speeds. This is throughout my LTE coverage area in my city. No LTE indication has ever been shown on my device. Support has confirmed everything is okay from their end.

I was under the impression that the ATT Galaxy Note used 1700 AND 700 for LTE or at least it had the radio enabled for said frequencies. Rogers network uses only 1700 I think (from what I understand the 700 spectrum in Canada has yet to be auctioned off for LTE). Only possible issue I see is that perhaps ATT Galaxy Note only has 700 band enabled for LTE and thus it makes sense that it doesn't work on Rogers' LTE.

The att website says band 4 and 17 for LTE on the galaxy note so I would think both 700 and 1700 are enabled for LTE. However further reading on the internets suggests that ATT only uses 700 for LTE, and Rogers only 1700 as suspected. I suppose my assumption was incorrect and ATT disabled 1700 LTE for fun (along with NFC and hspa+/LTE toggling).

Any one else experiencing the same issue? Maybe flashing Rogers radio onto the ATT Note will fix it (and break video playback)?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] netw0lf:
What are your APN settings? Can you flash the attached Rogers LTE APN Backup and Restore xml and see if you get anything? Make sure you are setup to use Rogers LTE apn settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EVOO2:
APN:

ltemobile.apn

apn type: internet+mms+supl

I double checked each setting on that setting page with support and they said they pushed the settings onto my phone, twice.

is the file you attached just all the settings for the access point settings page?

cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pterry30:
Hi,another option you have, now there is a custom Rom based off rogers software in the development section that you could flash. I have at&t software on my telus note and i have had some problems

I was having this problem on my Telus Note.. Not sure if you have tried this. Settings-Wireless and Network-Mobile Network,Network Mode.. Mine was set to GSM/HSPA Auto Mode, Switched to GSM/HSPA/LTE Auto Mode and all is good for me now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EVOO2:
Thanks taking the time for the suggestion, but the ATT Note does not have the network mode option in the settings (ie I cant enable/disable LTE), but the Canadian Notes do have this option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Apo11on:
Does anyone know how to disable the media scanner, that runs on every boot?

I don't want to uninstall it, because sometimes you'll need to run it manually to detect new media files, but I don't want it running on every startup
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Eric-1987:
I thought it was necessary so it can see what you have on your SD card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
Is this your first samsung phone? It always runs at the start by design in every samsung android phone, as far as i know there is nothing you can do about it unless a dev can find a way to change it in a custom rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Apo11on:
Media Scanner is a process and just like any other process it either runs as a service, or invoked by some init.* startup script. I'm simply asking for guidance how to modify phone configuration to disable the startup of this process.

Contents of /sdcard are cached, so the only price you pay if it doesnt run is that it wont see any changes, occured since it was last active. If you dont add/remove files on your phone all that frequently - disabling it wont have much impact and it will noticeably improve startup performance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
Back in the captivate days there was a script that as created to disable this but it proved to be more of a hinderence than a help, I don't recommend it. But if you really insist search the threads over there and see if you can find it. Who knows it may work maybe with a mod here or there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StaticMatt:
Rescan Media Root from the Market will disable the media scanner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bclark:
iirc Nitrality in the market can disable media scan too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
I disagree. I added a 32 GB card a few days ago, nearly full with songs, and my time from power button to lock screen didn't change at all. Yes, the scan takes a while and doesn't finish until well after the lock screen appears but it is a background process. It doesn't prevent you from using the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChemicalJasper:
Can you use the camera though?

I too have a 32 Gb card installed with a mixture of films, music and apps. My media scanner can take 2-3 hours to run and whilst I can use the phone for most things, it does prevent me from viewing photos and more critically taking photos.

I have on numerous occations not be able to take photos of the kids doing something funny, hours after unplugging my Note and it is very inconvenient at work when I need to take a photo of a business card or reciept or something.

To me this is a serious flaw on a device which is, as much as a phone, my on the go camera - and not a welcome feature of my first android phone!

I have tried a couple of methods (apps) but most of these seem to fill my notification area with adverts!:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Wow. Could there be somethinks wrong with your sd card? Have you switched it from using on one device for a while to your note? I have 23gb out of 29 gb available filled with 10gb of that being music and 3gb of pics and my start up media scan takes about a minute max. Maybe not even that long. I initially had a 16gb card that i used in my LG thrill that when i switched to the not would take forever to scan. It eventually quit working so i bought the 32 and no problems now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
2-3 hours is ridiculous.

What class card are you using? You may need to upgrade to a faster card.

I suggest formatting your card or replacing it. Bad sectors can cause funny stuff to happen. I couldn't even copy files using a card reader till I formatted it. Warning. This will erase all you files from the card, but you will have a clean slate to start.

Before erasing put the card in an adaptor and copy your stuff to a pc.

if android platform usb modem is disabled, enable it (in peripherals manager). this is what allows lg softs to detect proper phone presence and recognize firmware version. you might also reinstall latest drivers.

or maybe kdzu misses some dll files ? or a conflict with other peripherals ?
[HD2 General] alex.odell.2011:
Just for opinions really ...

So Which is best WP7 or Android on hd2,

Would say WM6.5 but I hate it!

Usability, graphics, performance...
[HD2 General] agastya154:
ask me?:D

i would prefer the android ROM, especially GB. smooth and fast for daily use.

coz i have got experience with W7..there's so much lock app or sometimes app/gall is locked too..

but, it's depend on what you need of course..
[HD2 General] enigma1nz:
I was jumping between Nodo and Gingerbread for over a month, as soon as I installed one I missed the other. Then Mango came out and I could no longer decide, so had them both. Now I have Mango and Ice Cream Sandwich. I am still not sure what I would keep if given a choice of only one.

My biggest bug with WP7.5 was inability to transfer .pdf files to be used with Acrobat reader. You could get the reader, but when it came to files it was a whole different scenario, as Zune transfers only media and photos, so there were suggestions of drop box, e-mailing yourself (yeah, the entire library), etc. Now there is a program that gets your files (I believe any files) loaded through USB and my WP7.5 is a lot more useful.

Android is a lot more democratic when playing videos. Full stop. Zune is too finicky with what it wants to play and the whole connect and synchronise routine can't win against the simplicity of plug and drop. So I have 65 movies on my Android and none on my Mango. Mango, however, has my entire collection of family photos from 2002 - all sorted by dates and readily available, my Facebook albums, my friends' albums and whatever else I might need to keep up with anyone I care about.

Mango takes better HD videos and I enjoy just sharing photos on Facebook, including tags and updates. Android allows you to use any tune as a ringtone, the procedure for WP7 is hellish nightmare for uninitiated.

I liked Mango's Zune player, so got it installed on Android, I liked WP7 keyboard with its uncanny word accuracy and prediction - same thing (in fact, after trying a whole lot of keyboards, I think none beats the one that came with WP7, not even in the same league). Even Metro messaging UI was ported over.

Social networking integration, however, places Mango way ahead of Android. The whole concept of People Hub, Pictures, Calendar, Me etc - perfect. And is the biggest reason I like Mango so much.

As far as games and apps - I like Sam, the Personal Assistant. It's similar to Iphone's Siri and I wish WP7 could get one just like it. Navigation, Google Goggles, Places etc - Android, games - Mango. Otherwise apps are more or less evenly spread, depending on your needs, of course. Other e-book format and readers - definitely Android, music - Mango. Zune got all my albums properly arranged, the album art was readily available and all the information was added perfectly well.

I never experienced any problems with Mango, but I did have occasional freezes and mishaps with Android. But then again, I am running Android off SD, the ICS is still in development, so it would be unfair to say Android is to blame.

I guess I got you even more confused now than when you started :) What I am trying to say is both are great, Android is perhaps a bit more versatile at the moment, but WP7 is catching up fast. Can't wait to see the next incarnation.
[HD2 General] OliverL66:
I would agree that Mango seems more stable as I was just out and about this evening trying the ICS-4.0.3-CM9-build15 I installed on my HD2 recently but I must admit it did hang and freeze on numerous occasions. I was taking loads of pics of Plymouth harbour and the gallery froze and had to be shutdown then Google maps blacked the screen which was annoying cos I was using it to find my way back to the bus! What was more annoying was that I didn't have the other sd card that I use when booting WP7.5!!

On that subject, any of you guys running HD2O_WP7_1.26_LEO71_8107_ WP7.5 off NAND with ICS-4.0.3-CM9-build15 using the same SD card? I have tried everything to get this to work but everytime I have gone through the procedure, easeus partition etc etc everything boots fine BUT Android says 'please install an SD card' it can't somehow read the SD card which it has just booted off!! The only way I can get the ICS to work is if I use a separate SD which I have formatted using sdformatter.

Pity cos I would love to have both on the phone at the same time without having to change the SD.
