Out of the blue my camera started taking tie dye-looking pictures. I can't think of any event (water, dropping etc.) that could have caused this. Any ideas?
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
Are you using windows mobile or android?

Camera is semi-broken under android.

If it's windows mobile...clean the lens, that's about all the maintenance you can do to it AFAIK.

If you prefer looking for new Android apps and games on your desktop computer rather than on a mobile device, this Yahoo Pipe I've created may come in handy.

It fetches content from AndroLib's "Last Games" and "Last Apps" feeds. You may input up to 10 keywords for apps and 10 for games which you want to exclude from the results. Let's say you don't want trial or demo games to be included, you also don't want soundboard, theme or wallpaper apps - just input those keyword and run the pipe!

After running the Pipe you may save your results as an RSS feed in which item titles are preceded by a tag - [apps] or [games].

ok, I sorry read all the subject, almost, regarding Bootloader and Hardreset...I tell you all I try all of it, and my present Rom version, is of course not the original, dit try a fews roms, and now, would like to try a new one, but, but.....

Since I did the Olinet Hds, and after I installed, like the Itje, Smaberg rom, and, their are still buggy to my taste, I had a real hard time to goes back to the R3aa UK but, I could....

Now, I can't anymore reverse to bootloader mode holding all the recepices we do have on the forum...

Meaning, I could reisntall not the original stock, with the white screen holding the Reset with the Styllus, and the 2 silver key and the power , but, I am not looking for that solution I am needing the one tho enter the bootloader, and no, no, no, each time, when i press the 2 silver one, the volume the power, short or long mode, the Reset buton, the microcard with or without, reformated the microcard 32, Xperia, always enter the Xperia bootscreen not the blue, green and red one....

I frankly do wonder, if all the troubles we have, I am not alone is not coming, sorry from the Olinet and, if so, could it be possible to truly remove the Olinet from the system, and that could perhaps help?

I do not like to point to anybody but, we do have something wrong with the booloader, since installing third party roms...

thanks, still any kind of help would be truly appreciated...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperrier:
OK, I found something, like

I had to do again and from the PC, the HardSPL, and, even, I could at least see the bootloader screen....

Then I removed the battery reinstalled the microcard, just reformated and with the new Kovsimg.nbh installed.....

Whent again to use from the PC, the ROMUpdateUtilite.exe with the Rom, PCTec4U.nbh, and from there after the activesync was ok, The kovsimg.nbh took over, and finally, Finally I could install that Rom...

In fact, I still do not know why the Xperia, by itself is not able anymore to enter bootloader mode anymore, and, second, I had a stong feeling, when the HardSPL is installed once, we do not need to use it anymore....I supose not...

Hope that would help othes members...:D:rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mr.denis:
Yesterday I received replacement for my broken fuze, and was going to do Hard SPL, in order to get cocked ROM installed but then i seen something was strange. Because it showed that on the phone i have 1.95.502.6 version of ROM. which is so unheard of.

Here some proof. Guys what should i do? May be i should dump it or some? For warranty reasons.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
It should be ok to flash hard SPL over that and then a custom ROM.

No Worries.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NotATreoFan:
There's no need to dump it. If you ever need a stock ROM for warranty purposes, you can download the 5.11 ROM update from HTC America's web site.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mr.denis:
i have deleted it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mr.denis:
Oh, alright guys. I just put NATF 5.3 on it :). I dumped it yesterday so just uploaded it just in case.

But anyways glad that i did, got my self some how familiar with the process.

Hi I"m regular visitor of this site. I wonder why even if I just put the TP2 on it start with 69-72% ram use.

How will this influence apps (like medical software) that I 'd like to use in the future?

Thanks in advance

Mine idles using about 40% after a soft reset then levels off at around 50% after a few hours of moderate usage. Such high idlle usage is a bit strange... Do a soft reset then take a look.

mine levels off at about 65% when idle. But i have t-mobile branded version. So could be there bloated software using extra ram. Can't wait for hard-spl so i can at least flash the latest stock rom

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jabberoo:
Mine is a Singapore unbranded (updated ROM) and the RAM usage is whacky.

Right now, i am at 71% with nothing running.

This has been an issue i have been watching as i think we are getting duped a bit here. Some users (me included on occasion) have not had enough free RAM to run a GPS app like IGO8 - this blows..!

On soft reset, 30 to 40mb of RAM gets used for ....who knows!

Consider this, from a potential 288mb, you have less than 60mb to actually run any apps, did i say it blows? Will be really interested to see if 6.5 will handle any differently.

Cheers to all.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Putra:
Mine's around 58%... (with 288MB Ram)

Using TaskManager, I have these processes running which I don't think are necessary. How can I kill them permanently, and is it safe to do so?

CommManager.exe - 151 kb memusage

JBlendDaemon - 63 kb

I also have these in the startup folder: HTCStartUp & PKG which I'm not sure what they are for. Found this in an old TyTn2 thread though...

pkg.lnk:

shortcut to pkg.exe. Psst don't tell anyone, it will run any application named "pkgautorun.exe" located in \Storage Card\2577 then the system will automatically delete pkg.lnk. Safe to delete.

HTCStartup:

shortcut to HTCStartup.exe. Read/Update/provide system status (Bluetooth, Calltimer, etc). Don't delete this shortcut.

Did you guys delete these?

Searched and didn't find an answer. Does it hurt your phone to leave your proc overclocked@ 528?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icebergxx:
The reason why stock phones are clocked at the speed they are is for safety and durability, overclocking your phone definitely does speed up the run down of your phone, but I'm sure many of us here have been over clocking out phones for awhile with no noticeable damage.

And p.s. I suggest overclockwidget on the market. Over set cpu for root users or whatever.

they do have a mobile app (beta) but it was created for WM. it was a big deal and they even raised a bounty to whoever can create it. check the general forums to check it out. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540504

back to the topic, i think it's possible. there is a widget in the market called web widget maker, that wraps a webpage inside of awidget so you can display it on your homescreen. it's very buggy and not worth the buy, but the concept is there and potential.
[G1 Apps and Games] nEx.Software:
It would be easy to wrap a static web site inside of an APK. If I am not mistaken, this is what the AndroidAPI app in the market has done with the Android documentation. Note also how large that application is. But to wrap an entire system such as vBulletin would be pretty tough, given no PHP in Android. I suppose there are options, but I highly doubt they are practical. The most practical option, in my opinion, is for someone to write a generic vBulletin API Interface (not even sure if there is a vBulletin API) and allow for that to be included in apps that call to the web for their data.

Couldn't you just load the page normally inside a webview but edit it to point to a heavily modified android resolution friendly css file instead of the reg. one. Does anyone know if you can edit html on the fly through a web view?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -nickx-:
Guys,

Browsing the web I stumbled up on to this article:

It describes how you are able to get a good performance out of your Hero, Hence that it's just a experiment so not sure if it will work!

http://www.majicware.com/HTC-Hero-Speed-Issues-Experimenting?vzWMwp

I'm going to post updates as I will test it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fl4r3:
The article actually sounds quite interesting...I've also noticed that killing tasks doesnt necessarily get rid of some of the lag (although I dont have that much lag to begin with).

I think I'll give this a try for a couple of days too.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] -nickx-:
Well lets keep us posted on this case. I will give a update tomorrow.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] trepaulo:
I'll see if that works for me =)

sounds promising =D

thanks for sharing
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] minogue:
ill give it a try!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lsim001:
If the phone is syncing then it is definitely very laggy. This is also the case when the memory us low. Obviously if u have apps like task panel or the,music player running at the same time things will slow down too.

For me task panel has worked well. If I keep the free memory at around 50megs then there is almost no lag. I'll keep an eye out for other things as well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
I have been using the Hero for a few days. On day one I hated it, it was so slow. Then I started using Taskiller to kill tasks like weather, clock, mail, peep etc that are running in the background. Not much help. In fact, it seemed the more frequent that I killed these tasks, the slower my Hero ran.

After a few days of use, I realized the trick to speed up the Hero (or android in general) is DO NOT kill tasks unless you are running our of memory. By running out of memory, I mean really out of memory. My Hero is using 160MB memory right now, which may seems a lot, but it is running very smoothly. Killing some tasks reducing memory usage to, say 90MB, wont' really speed it up. Unlike Windows Mobile, as long as your memory usage is not 99% and have memory left for additional apps to open, just leave it. Remember the Hero has 288MB memory, 100 MB is already reserved for the OS to run, and android memory management will kill unnecessary tasks for you when you run out of memory anyway.

Now, the important part. Do not kill tasks manually too frequently. You have to understand when does the Hero slow down: when it is fetching data. If you use an HTC widget, do NOT kill the relevant app that the widget requires it run in the background. For example, if you used the HTC music widget, don't kill the music app running in the background. If you killed it, you would notice a very significant lag when you go from another page to the page with the music widget. This is because the music widget is trying to open the music app and access the music on your micro SD. Once it is done, the music app will just become idle until you start playing music and there is no more lag. But if you killed it, the widget had to open the app every time you reach that page after killing the app. This causes lag.

The same go for the twitter widget. If you killed Peep running in the background, you will notice a lag when you go the page with the twitter widget. This is because the twitter widget is starting up Peep again and has to connect to your twitter account to check for new stuff. But if you leave Peep running, it will do so only at the regular time interval that you set.

I am now running the HTC clock widget, music widget, bookmark widget, twitter widget and full of stuff on all of my 7 pages home screen. I have clock, weather, music, peep, mail and many other apps running in the background. My Hero run very smoothly.

I hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dvrvm:
Hmmm... Well, I think it is pretty obvious and common sense that the apps used for active widgets should surely not be killed. For the others, I find that I am better off killing them. Even if this should not be the case, and the effect only "psychological", I still fail to see what would be a benefit of not killing the applications.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phel21:
Android market should define some criteria that applications must meet before they're made available. Applications should also be benchmarked and rated wrt connectivity requirements, CPU-load etc. This would be a deterrent against applications that load automatically even when there's no config (like peep when there's no twitter account), or puts such load on device that it runs out of juice in a few hours (power manager). If this is done on android market one could also hope that vendors also would put a bit more effort into optimising their own stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Phil_UK:
've stopped obsessively killing Apps...running smoothly. Android Dev video posted on similar thread reassured me that the OS is meant to take care of all that anyhow :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cdmackay:
Well, I dunno; that way madness lies, or at least iTunes Appstore madness, where new apps, and upgrades, take weeks to get approved, and are still equally buggy. And new apps often get refused, for no good reason.

I like the timeliness of the Android store; and I'm suffering with dodgy apps too - my Hero currently won't last overnight on standby - but it's still miles better than the iPhone nonsense :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fl4r3:
Well I stopped using the task manager to kill apps for a couple of days....but there is no real speedup and its just the same.

BUT it also means that its pointless to kill the tasks to begin with since it didn't make a difference either (like other people are now saying). If anything, the browser and apps like people/contacts load up faster beacause they are still somewhere in the background (I used to always constantly kill these apps).

The part about not suspending the phone straight away has made a slight difference. Before, when I turned the screen on I constantly had a lag especially sliding the screen left and right and going to the messages page. But if I let it go into standby by itself, when I wake up the phone, it barely stutters (and if it does, its only for like a split second on the first slide).

...if only there was a shortcut to just lock the screen....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tone-Fu:
I found uninstalling 'Power Manager' sped my phone up massively. I shall try this and see if he's onto anything.

Aren't there apps for locking in the market?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] suisen:
don't know will this speed up things and to whom it may apply, but until today i never ran my Stocks app, seeing as i don't care about stocks :D so i opened it, opened settings and found out it was set to update every 1h with 4 preset stock somethings....so those not using it might also wanna check that the thing is switched to Manually, one less task that shows up for no reason :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fl4r3:
I've only come across the likes of lock 2.0 but I thought that was an alternative lockscreen...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phel21:
Apple's problem is politics. I wasn't hinting towards any such subjective valuation for Android. What I'd like is a clear set of technical requirements (example: an application that auto-starts during boot even without necessary configuration data should not be accepted), and a site back-end with numerous emulators that runs applications through their paces to obtain performance/power/network rating before they are made available for download. Extensive testing would require manual configuration, test and monitoring, but even some simple automated tests could sort out the worst offenders. Ratings should be displayed with application descriptions on the site, and would also work as a simple form of tech feedback to developers about things they may need to improve.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cdmackay:
good points.

I've since discovered that any app that registers to receive async alarms will be started at boot, even though it doesn't necessarily need to be. not really a problem, but the cause of a lot of processes running at boot for no obvious reason.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Adam_S:
Hi Guys,

I'm Adam Saunders, author of the original article.

Just a thanks to everyone that is also trying the experiment. So far I've had a lot more positive results from people than negative, so the hunch is somewhere on the right track.

I was going to try and find an exact reason as to why killing tasks repeatingly will slow the device down. It's been said its the way that Android kills apps but saves the state, so the process isn't actually running, and by killing that off, the orphaned state is possibly the problem. Sounds feasibly, but not read anything official to back up that claim.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kyods:
Confirmed, it's been three days since I stopped killing the processes and any lagging (which was very slight for me in the first place) is gone. Thanks for the tip, Adam!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ghoonk:
Try logging out of Peep. There's another thread here that speculates that Peep takes quite a bit of juice when logged in. I've turned it off and am monitoring for a couple of days to see if this helps.

To log out of Peep, go to Settings -> Social Networks and tap on Twitter. You will be prompted to confirm if you wish to log out.
