shrugs

the one in the recommended guide

all i want to do is get rid of the vodafone crap and start again

to be hones, i don't really understand much of th terminology or exactly what i'm doing. just following instructions. i'm ust a little nervous (and lazy) some of the guides (while great and accurate from what i have tried) assume a lot of knowledge and when i have to start learning stuff like this it confuses me and i tend to not achieve what i wanted.

my phone has developed some odd and irritating behaviour not to mention being slow as hell sometimes

i would quite happily swap this phone for something without a slide keyboard if there is a bit of the board where ican do that
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Well......again, what rom and spl do you have currently on the phone ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anagarika:
A good thing to do for someone scared ****less .. sit back, don't touch the phone, and go through reading the FAQ as posted by others. Especially flashing for noobs by mskip.

Then look up on the Kaiser Wiki on this XDA site (google Kaiser Wiki). Read through and understand what Hard SPL is, what it means to unlock your phone, and why it's important.

Combine those knowledge, you're ready to flash. Otherwise, go and pay a visit to nearest shop that offers flashing service. Pay them, and if it doesn't work, sue them. Here at XDA we can help, but you need to pickup something before we can do much help.

My artemis is in the white screen.after use the Artemis_USPL (in ROMUpdateUtility level).

please help me fast.please.:eek:
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
...

sounds like it went wrong.lol

you probably bricked device..

take sd card out, if device goes to bootloader - red,blue,green..

there is a chance to bring it back to life.

to do this you need the official rom that was on the phone, so first things first, download that!

secondly, download ''uspl cmon'' this will let you flash more roms to your device, - with old uspl it sometimes stops at 3% because of size.. but with cmon, it doesnt!

so flash with official rom, uspl cmon, then flash a new 6.1 or 6.5 rom!

good luck..

if you need more help, message me..
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
...

...try this beforeyou panic..

try uspl again, once dos screen has finished, (penguin) soft reset and update uspl. device should restart and spl should be

1.11.0000 - uspl

1.11.cmon - uspl cmon!

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] aflan:
I have a TP2 running WinMo 6.1 and for some unknown reason, the volume up/down buttons have been remapped to Scroll up/Down. Can anyone help with what registry settings might restore the original volume functionality? Soft resetting doesn't make any difference and I would like to avoid a hard reset. This not my personal TP2 but I am told that no new software was loaded or

other changes were made. Interestingly, my TP2 does this once in a while but it always goes back to normal after a soft reset.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] leepriestenator:
I second this...

Happened to me only once though.

You probably have some program that might map the volume keys to be used for UP and DOWN. I think CorePlayer does that sometimes. If the app doesn't successfully exit or crashes, I think the mapping sticks till you soft reset.
[Palm Treo 750] nariesg80:
I'm sure this has been done over and over again, but I've tried looking into the forums and tried doing it myself as well, but this is most likely a newbie question.

I'm trying to upgrade my treo 750 from windows 6.0 to windows 6.5.

I can't remember how to format my sd card to fat32 or format it in general, dont remember or cant find the option to do so on the phone.

2nd, is there a link or somewhere I can look to follow step by step how to upgrade it to 6.5.

Do i need to need to Hard spl the phone and just drag and drop files to the sd card for the phone to upgrade to the windows 6.5

Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry if this is an old topic.

Thank you for all the help!!

Why my treo750 doesn´t upgrade if I don´t put into a micro SD a file call cheeimg.md5????

[HD2 General] thegreatchin:
Hey everyone

Before I start I'd just like to say I'm completely stoopid and went ahead and rather hastily downloaded the Bandswitch.V2.8.CAB on one of the threads on this forum and wasnt so sure how to work it (or if im completely honest what the app even did!). Anyway I'm a little lost with it and was wondering how to get rid of it. Ive tried to get rid of it by deleting the initial file i downloaded from my laptop but the icon remains on my screen and I cant seem to switch my wifi or data connection buttons on or off.

I'd like to reiterate that I'm pretty dumb regarding this so a step by step guide would be much appreciated! thanks!
[HD2 General] lude219:
Wait, you installed the app on your laptop?
[HD2 General] thegreatchin:
well not not the app just put the program on my laptop to transfer to my phone
[HD2 General] Archer:
It will be in the programs list in Settings, System, Remove programs (or Settings tab, Menu, All settings, System, Remove programs).

You can uninstall it from there :)
[HD2 General] thegreatchin:
Okay so I'm getting a little bit of a panic on now everyone... I decided to do a hard reset because it wouldnt get rid of all of the bandswitch app using the 'remove programs' program and although the hard reset has got rid of the bandswitch icon and any trace of the app im having problems with my comm manager. My wifi has gone grey so I cant even hit it on or off (never happened before) and the data connection button (although not turned grey like the wifi one) will not be turned on or off...help?
[HD2 General] thegreatchin:
**** sorted it everyone phew thank god for that! sorry for being a pain in the ass!
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
Trying to figure out what's a problem and what's not. Advanced Task Manager....says 18 apps are open. Is that fibbing?
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
ok so not 18...10.

Voice search, gallery, maps, car home, clock, settings, gmail, voice dialer, weatherbug, mp3 store....the G1 never had that many going at once in memory.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
and the phone still zips around im hoping?
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
it does give very small lag when they are all running, then when i kill them all it speeds up. i actually recorded a video of the whole process.
[Nexus One General] setzer715:
Mine has 31 currently running?!?! WTF??? Some are running twice like AK Notepad and The Weather Channel? I'm thinking 2.1 is having issues managing applications. I keep hitting my end all widget and it's always like 20+ apps running. So much for the extra ram, things just keep restarting for now reason!

EDIT: After more playing around, it looks like the Back button does not close applications like it does on the G1 and MT3G. Great, better get used to using the Task Manager Widget or nothing will close!!!
[Nexus One General] spr33:
Do we *really* need to kill apps though? We have ample memory to cope, right?
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
Either that or Advanced Task Manager is giving a false report...I don't know which. But yeah the back button doesn't seem to exit the app.

I'm waiting for this video to finish rendering and I'll post it up on Vimeo. It clearly shows the phone lagging, then speeding back up when they are all killed.
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
I don't think they all need to be running at once though, no matter how much memory we have. I don't want it running unless I open it, with the exception of the few that have to run if your using widgets.
[Nexus One General] setzer715:
According to Task Manager before I started launching apps I had 109Mb avail mem. After launching and backing out of a bunch I was down to 49Mb. That was withing 5min. Can you imagine a full day of not ending apps?
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
I just emailed the developer to rule out a false report with his app and Android 2.1.
[Nexus One General] efeltee:
Android manages that for you, it utilises the most amount of RAM possible. It'll end apps once it needs more RAM
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
I never encountered this with my G1 though. It never ran that many apps at once.
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
OK video is here:

http://www.vimeo.com/8604778

Video mark 2:48 and go from there.

Some would probably call this "finicky" but I don't expect any lag on a $500 phone. I also understand that not everyone moves as fast as I do.
[Nexus One General] Nedlinin:
Like has been said.. Android is managing this for you. Unused RAM is worthless RAM. this is the same issue people tried to ***** about with Windows Vista. The system is keeping the application in memory incase you switch back to it. If you do, you avoid the load times. If you don't keep applications in RAM then switching between them would take forever and pretty much negate the ability to multitask.

THIS IS BY DESIGN.
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
I'd like to think that we could have a civil and professional conversation without jumping in with your panties in a wad. Do you see my post count? Do you tink I was here when people we're complaining about this? Oh that's right we we're born with knowing how Android works that's right.

At any rate....I appreciate your response.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I think he got irritated you were jumping the gun a bit, you went even so far to post a video of it lagging..that kinda seems to lower the credibility of the device for people without that specific knowledge.
[Nexus One General] Nedlinin:
My apologies for seeming harsh. But, there is another thread on this exact same topic already in which this answer has already been stated :-/

If for some reason it really worries you, just use the Taskiller widget or something.. but, it really isn't anything to worry about. The slight second long pause in your video is simply from Android being notified it is low on memory and killing off a background process to make room for the one you are loading up. You shouldn't see it too often and the fact that it keeps the programs/apps in RAM is part of the reason the phone feels so snappy compared to a G1/MyTouch
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
hmmm, the only lag I saw in the video was the occasional having to press the touch sensitive buttons one more time?

Correct me if Im wrong?
[Nexus One General] efeltee:
Thing is: the more you use taskiller the slower it'll get unlike what everybody thinks...

Just leave the apps in the RAM and they'll load from the RAM (= instantly) otherwise they'll load from storage card (=milliseconds of delay)

All I can say from the video is that the Nexus is hugely fast. When you started the camera I thought "alright sit back & relax for 5sec like on most Androids" but this was insane!
[Nexus One General] brummiesteven:
"It'll end more apps once it needs more ram".

The G1 had less rom and therefore had to end apps earlier because it needed to free up ram for the Os/new apps.
[Nexus One General] Ryanmo5:
I haven't had a bit of lag and i purposely opened every app i could to see if it would.
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
thanks! that answers my question of why they didn't always run my G1. I'll take y
[Nexus One General] nphaskins:
I agree it is wicked fast but I am a perfectionist, and I guess I'm looking for perfection on this device with zero hiccups at all for the price that was paid for it. Cool then, I'll leave them running and see what happens. I appreciate the responses from you guys.

*Edit - Here is the response from the developer.

No, that's not a false report. Some apps can start up automatically or be triggered by your phone when some events happen. In stead of killing some apps, you might want to ignore them, because most apps using this way to keep alive to do their work. I guess they must be some import apps. So I suggest you to ignore them instead of killing them.
[Nexus One General] brummiesteven:
Sorry. I meant RAM Btw. But glad I could help.
[Nexus One General] Land Of The Trill:
Some apps do tend to auto start even after they've been closed and can be triggered by other apps that require the service. I would have thought that the dev app didn't support the Nexus yet and needed to be updated aside from what I've already said.
[Nexus One General] eaglesteve:
Are these processes or applications? They are not the same.
[Nexus One General] stealthchicken75:
I just wanted to chime in on the comment about paying so much money and thus expecting absolutely zero lag. Not to be rude, but that's an extremely unreasonable expectation. No matter how powerful the hardware is that you're using you WILL, at some point, experience hiccups.

This will be due to any number of things, error correction, another piece of the hardware being locked up, some other app that currently is preventing code from running. It's just the way computers in general work.

You should totally expect a phone of this price to be fast and do a lot of neat things, which it is and it does, really well I might add.
[Nexus One General] dallastx:
+1 I wish all my electronics where perfect!! If i had the logic of "this better be perfect because it cost alot" I would probably have killed myself back in the 80's when i got my first computer.
[Nexus One General] mlevin:
Although I've seen as high as 110MB free in Advanced Task Manager on my N1 and occasionally 70-80MB free, more often than not it is 20-30MB free -- and about 18 apps running seems about right to me (that's what I usually have). Let Android manage the memory for you. It is keeping more apps running because it can. My G1 never had that many things running (and usually had about 10MB free) because it was killing things as necessary. They took longer to come back up. The N1 has a lot more RAM so it doesn't need to kill things. I'd say just leave it be.
[Nexus One General] carnegie0107:
A big part of the reason the N1 is so fast is that it DOES have so many apps running. By keeping them in RAM, you can switch back and forth lightning fast. If it constantly had to shut them down, you would have to wait for it to read the app from internal memory and launch it before you could switch. I do have Advanced Task Manager set to kill background apps every 30 minutes, though, so I don't have them running in the background when I won't be switching back to them for a while. I like my phone snappy and my battery life long.
[Nexus One General] atlp99:
main reason for killing apps

Android does not need apps killed off manually as aggressively as windows mobile does, it handles app management much better.

But I still use taskiller to kill processes that i wont be using for a while, like the browser, mainly to save battery life.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
I am on my 4th replacement HD2, for a variety of reasons. Now unfortunately this one has a loose volume button, as had my second handset. So this problem seems to be fairly widespread, having affected 50% of the handsets I've seen. I'm interested in seeing who on the forum has a loose volume button. By loose I mean that I can wiggle it around (slightly) and if I tap it I hear a rattle.
[HD2 General] tshizzle:
mine seems alright... i can wiggle it up and down(really slightly), but..it dosent seem 'loose' to me.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Most solid volume rocker I've EVER seen on a phone. No problems at all here.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
I think it's caused by the battery cover.. if it's not put on perfectly it will sit against the rocker and will make it feel more tight.. if not it will wiggle a little like it should so it can't get stuck..
[HD2 General] sunking101:
I think the solid buttons are solid even when the battery cover is removed...
[HD2 General] sunking101:
So it would appear to be a widespread fault. Slightly annoying for us with loose buttons to know that half of us have solid buttons! :mad:
[HD2 General] freyberry:
Yes they are always solid... rock solid.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Well, it seems there are more perfect ones than loose ones which is good I guess...but still far too many sloppy, loose volume buttons out there. Mine rattles every time I pick up my HD2, which is kinda annoying when the rest of the handset feels so solid.
[HD2 General] AbdullahT:
mine is loose, I had noticed that in the first use and I was woundering if all HD2 are the same but it seems more than 60% are ok and dont have this issue
[HD2 General] freyberry:
You think 29 is a representative number for hundreads of thousands of HD2 users?

Stop drawing any conclusions, that's silly.

If anything, then the low interest in this thread indicates that there's not many phones with loose buttons.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Au contraire, out of those who have responded the figures are quite interesting. If "hundreds of thousands" did vote, I would expect to see a similar pattern...
[HD2 General] deyanp:
This is my 2nd handset and the volume buttons are loose, but the button row below the screen is not. My first HD2 had it opposite ;) Having said that, neither problem is worth talking about, in my opinion (yes, I know it shouldn't happen with such an expensive phone, but still it's really NOT bothering me) ...
[HD2 General] sunking101:
You have a loose volume button....so can you vote in the poll please.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
You really should learn a bit about maths and statistics. With hundreds of thousands of HD2 owners, you can't draw ANY conclusion and not expect ANY pattern from 21 votes.

If anything, 31 votes show that there's not much interest in the topic.

But since I know you, I suspect you have created this thread solely for the purpose of damaging the HD2's reputation, cause that's what you've been doing for months now, so arguing about the significance of the numbers won't help anyway.

It just doesn't matter if those buttons are 'loose' as long as they work. Actually, they need to be 'loose', so that you can press them.
[HD2 General] adell_:
Mine is loose.
[HD2 General] deyanp:
I did already, of course.
