[Nexus One General] Deathwish238:
The speed difference I'm talking about is what I experienced when running CM beta3 and CM beta3 w/ highmem. The difference was huge. I assumed the change was mainly attributed to the double RAM available.

Even now with the full RAM available, things run faster when I end the other apps running. It's not necessary, but the difference is there.

It would be nice to be able to pinpoint which apps caused slow downs.
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
The best way I've seen this put I found in a thread where someone wanted to disable apps from auto-starting entirely. I saved it, because I though it was very elegant way to explain androids mem management.
[Nexus One General] Deathwish238:
Good read.

So then given that...only services running should slow down the phone and not the background apps running.

However, this doesn't really answer the OP's question. If it's not a memory issue...what's causing his slowdowns?
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
Could be too many widgets on the home screen, I don't run that many but its possible that while in an app for a while, and switching back to home the OS may have to kill a whole bunch of apps to allow it to reload all the widgets on the home screen.

I tested this, and loaded the crap out of my home screens with widgets, and then launched a game. When I exited the game there was a good 500ms - 800ms delay in my homescreens from displaying anything other than the background. However, after it loaded, scrolling between screens looks smooth. The new kernel with highmem support can help this, but I would suspect some crazy widget filled homescreen with a 3rd party live wallpaper (star's configured with too many stars) and all of that combined could be an issue even still. Apple combats this by allowing only one app at a time, they know people will go overboard if allowed.
[Nexus One General] equid0x:
There's probably no easy answer to this question. There could be IO contention, a runaway process, high CPU usage, a memory leak, shoddy code in some app, etc etc... One would really have to take a look at the whole state of the system at the time the problem is happening to be able to ascertain what is causing the slowdown.

The phenomenon is in no way unique to Android. I'm sure nearly everyone is familiar with the common complaint "my computer is running slow". The reasons that can happen on a common PC are the very same reasons that can be happening here, and unfortunately there are many of those reasons. While in many cases, throwing memory at the issue may appear to solve the problem temporarily, it often is not a permanent fix.

The amount of userspace memory available really amounts to 1 thing and 1 thing only -> the total number of running processes that we can keep totally in memory at any given time. On stock android, slowdown due to an OOM condition should be minimal, since stock android doesn't swap. Discounting any other bottlenecks, there is a practical limit to the number of programs once would be able to run in the memory space that is available. Realistically speaking, android programs tend to be fairly small, so you'd really have to be running a lot of them to exhaust this space. It is far more likely one or 2 poorly written programs are hogging huge amounts of memory (and probably other resources), which is causing constant killing and restarting of other apps you are trying to run concurrently. You end up with contention on the slow flash, resulting in poor performance.

You can't even really compare the Nexus One to the G1 in this regard, because the G1 truly is terribly deprived of memory. Though, the argument in both cases could really be made that you are attempting to run the hardware beyond its design specifications...

Its been my experience that the culprit is usually one or 2 specific programs. Sometimes the best, although inconvenient, way to figure out which programs these are, is to keep watch of your usage habits, and if you suspect something is the problem, uninstall it, and see if the issue persists. Its time consuming but there really isn't any better way to figure it out without using all kinds of tools that android doesn't really provide convenient access to. There are a few apps on the market that help with this but I am not sure what they are called offhand.

Programs that were identified as sources of slowdown for me have been:

Weatherbug

The Weather Channel

Calorie Counter

Locale

SMS Popup

10000

USA Today

National Geographic Wallpapers

CNN News Widget

Streamfurious

Nav4All

Waze

Just about every app with Admob Ads

And this is really just what I can think off offhand... there are more...
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I'm banking on it being an issue with an app that the OP has installed as well...not the phone or Android. I have only a handful of tried and true apps, and haven't experienced a slowdown even after 150 hours without a reboot.

OP... start uninstalling apps a couple at a time and wait several hours in between to narrow down the problem app.
[Nexus One General] stickerbob:
I can't speak for the OP, but when I was having that problem I had 5 widgets running on my home screen. The Google Search, Sports Tap, Power Control, Calendar, and The Small Weather Channel. Does this seem like too much? I hope not.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
It's not just widgets that you should be thinking about... any app you've installed can throw something off.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
I removed the weather & news widget and the phone seems much faster now. I'll keep it like that for a day, see if it stays fast.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
Sorry if this is an idiot newbie question :o but I'm curious: can one use Skyfire to watch flash videos from the desktop-PC version of BBC iPlayer? I've tried using Pocket Internet Explorer, and that initially looks like it's going to work - the counter starts to tick over as if the video were playing - but there's no actual picture. Using Skyfire it complains that I'm trying to access iPlayer from a non-UK site (presumably because the Skyfire proxy server is outside the UK) - is there any way around this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
And yes, I know all about using myplayer and the user-agent hack in Opera. :) It's specifically desktop (rather than mobile) iPlayer material I'm interested in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] turborider:
yes u can play iplayer from skyfire but dont like to watch in there tho
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] leoni1980:
The answer you want is 'yes', so long as you are in the uk, since Skyfire now uses localised proxy servers. Video quality isn't all that great in Skyfire but I watched a whole episode of BBC Click without any major issues.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] sulphuricaciduk:
myPlayer does a very good job of sorting out iPlayer streams for you; it can also download higher quality videos.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Shasarak:
Okay. How? :)
[Nexus One General] Delarock:
Hi dudes,

what is now the fastest solution for my phone?Fastest i mean smoothest scrolling and changing desktops etc.

I have rooted phone,installed cyanogen 5.0 BETA 4,google aps and latest MT update and my Nexus looks slow :( Cube animation isnt smooth too
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
Home++

much faster and smoother than stock home.
[Nexus One General] Delarock:
thx and what is faster CYA beta 4 rom or enomther?
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
I've been using enomther.

working great.
[Nexus One General] Delarock:
and did you tri cyan too ?
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
No, i didn't.
[Nexus One General] Delarock:
i installed home++ and it works brilliant.is there any possibility to port into home++ CUBE effect as it is in stock??
[Nexus One General] GodDriven:
Cyanogen 4

I Have been using every rom. Cyan Roms are the most tweaked and tuned roms you'll get. The Enom roms are close to stock but deo-dexed for theming and apps. Of course Modaco, Modaco is the mose optomized stock versions of any rom you could get. Use his rom with the makin bacon add-on and smoke is what you'll leave behind. Cyan has this of course built into his roms. :cool::D
[Nexus One General] Deathwish238:
Looks pretty nice, installing now. I hope Live Wallpapers works with it
[Nexus One General] Delarock:
i have problems with home++.i installed it and begin problem with receiving calls and sms. i tried to call me and it always says that iam unreachable.that afther two minutes came notifications sms.when i uninstaled home++ everything works.whats the problem ?
[Nexus One General] Deathwish238:
Live Wallpapers don't work. Cool concept though, if it supports Live Wallpapers I may use it in the future
[Nexus One General] cwtaylor:
To be honest I am now using Stock Rom w/Update and Bacon addon and the think flies, i mean really does. Have used slidescreen pro and that also is very smooth on the nexus compared to the G1's render of it.
[Nexus One General] Deathwish238:
Why use a stock rom with bacon instead of one of the full ROMs?

:(

I'm in desperate need of help!! i've tried searching and it seems liek everyone didn't have a real brick..

i have a real brick!!! NO button combinations work.. my computer doesnt even detect it thorugh usb!!! ive tried so many different things and i have NO CLUE why none wont work!!!

i have the ROGERS DREAM so i know its different from the t-mobile one....

please!!! i'm DESPERATE!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
if you truly have a "real brick", there's nothing that can be done.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:
are you serious?! i'm really hoping for a fix because according to most threads..people say that most of the time when peopel say they have a brick..they dont!! :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeepy2:
Well, what did you do.

If you have a real brick you are SOL.

I bricked mine last week. Told rogers that the update did it and I just got a "new" one. It's refurbished but at least it's not bricked.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:
i did a ONE CLICK ROOT and i think that was successful.... and then i flashed it to the CYANOGEN latest update...and now.. i can't do anything.. stuck on the rogers logo boot up screen.!!!

what sorts of files should i be putting on my SD card?? (not partitioned either) is theres some sort of file that will trigger the phone to go into any other screen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
What you did is you failed to read the instructions.

There is a particular order to changing out the radio and spl images.

You did it wrong and therefore have a brick.

Good for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeepy2:
Sorry but I think your toast.

I don't know the 1 click root method but I am guessing it is a radio/spl issue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:
i guess so... :( i'm going to try to get my sister to do what you did and see if she can blame it on the rogers update and get a refurbed one...

thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
Can you atleast go to the recovery screen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
=(....want me to pay for the burial? lol jk

but no seriously that sucks man im sorry to hear it.

ive had a whole bunch of close calls -.- you could always make a fake eBay account,sell it as if its new and get another?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:
LOL thanks :( one of the nicer comments i've received so far .... i was just being really hopeful that it could be recovered but i guess mine is one of few lost causes...

and nah.. i can't do that.... sell on ebay and stuff.. too unethical for me haha
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxmonsterx:
im sorry man r.i.p.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:
its okay...btw..i'm not a man.. hhaha
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macrophage001:
O.O alien?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:
lol what?!?! is there a rule where there isnt women allowed?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdfry:
no we love women:)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomBoomPOW:
If it's stuck at Carrier logo, then you could possibly blame Rogers for the recent update and get a new device. Just make sure to leave no traces that you've rooted the device.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agychan:
DONE.. thanks :)

just called rogers.. and they had me hold home+power twice to try and get that exclamation mark symbol..but it was just hanging at the rogers screen..

so right after that, they told me they'd send me a replacement to exchange this bricked one for the new one...

problem somewhat solved... now i know not to attempt rooting again .. ^_^ thanks for all quick replies!

Hello all,

if I make a photo or a video with my HD2 the phptos are not visible in the HTC Album. There are in the folder Storage Card\DCIM\100Media. If I save the photos on the mobile itself they are visible.

Is there something I can check? Maybe a path in the registry?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] k9vegas:
I'm having issues with my Tilt 2. I bought it used and it does some strange things. Email login pops up out of no where. Can't get the phone to accept any Hot Fixes. Clock numbers on Home Page go from Large to small and can only return to Large if I restart the device.

Think my phone needs a reload. Problem is I'm just not savy enough to do this. Is there anyone in Las Vegas that actually knows how to do this?

Recommendations Please.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Montea:
Do a hard reset on the phone.

Menu-->Setting-->System-->Clear storage
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
Make a note of any software you have installed

Do a backup of your texts and emails etc with PIM backup (here on forum)

Do a hard reset. Its really easy.

1) turn off phone

2) hold send and end key down at same time

3) while those keys are pushed down, press the power button to restart the phone.

4) follow instructions on screen

Once reloaded reinstall software you want and restore your stuff with PIM back up. Resync with computer and off you go again.

Once you know its working the way you want it, back it up with Sprite Backup or other utility and next time somthing gets corrupted just restore your known good backup.

Be brave, take a chance. You will be better in the long run. The old teach a man to fish analogy. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] k9vegas:
Just wanted to say Thanks for the help. It went easier then I had thought. Only thing is now, I went to add the two Hot Fixes for Caller ID and SMS and when I copy them into the phone and execute them, I get an error message that says, these are not compatable with this device.....

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
which files are you using? There are reports of a couple people having issues. There are some ATT specific files from thier website that I used. They took no problem. The files may already be on the phone if it was used.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] k9vegas:
I took a look on my friends Tilt 2 and the files show in the root directory as being loaded. I down loaded the AT&T specific Hot fixes for Caller ID and SMS Freeze...Just thought they should be on here...

Thanks

Very interesting read-

iPhone vs. Nexus One: a tale of two phones

by Dwight Silverman (of the Houston Chronicle)

~

Some of his obversations- from his blog:

iPhone

• My iPhone was indeed painful to use in San Francisco, and my most acute problems were with AT&T's voice service.

• AT&T's 3G data network was slow but for the most part it worked.

• When I was able to make, receive and sustain a voice call, people on the other end often complained my voice was "breaking up", or that it was garbled.

Nexus One

• Voice calls made on the Nexus One — which works over T-Mobile's network — were much better.

• The Nexus One has had problems with staying connected to T-Mobile's 3G data network.

• I was particularly impressed with the Nexus One's ability to deliver quality video over a live, streaming connection.

His final conclusion-

Overall, the Nexus One made for a better travel experience, at least to San Francisco which, ironically, is in Apple's backyard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] slamdunker23:
Hello together,

a few days ago, I've found a thread with a program here.

This program show you a list with programs like you see it on the iphone.

Can someone give me the thread please?

Big thanks,

Slamdunker23
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
I don't have a link to the thread, but it's called myAction v2.0, developer is noiseRobert. You'll findi it using this info for search (if this IS the iPhone-style prog launcher you're looking for, I'm sure there are a few out there ; maybe also myToday, or iToda, not sure on those)

But I am sure about noiseRoberts myAction 2.0 - I've tried it (nice work, but I don't care to use it, personally)

Thank you very much. This is the right program I am searching!

I have a T-mobile touch pro 2, running windows mobile 6.5, i also have hdwallS set up and using it. after i finally got my home page and tabs pages to look the way i want, i noticed that my messages tab is showing i unread message but there is no "new message."

is there anything you guys could do to help me out. im not using any specially made roms, just the stock one. sense 2.1 i think. obviously im not very savvy with all these things, but if anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it

thanks

HERE you go. Copy to phone, run, Reboot. A simple search would have found it.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
OK, so for the first time ever in all the HTC phone's i've had, this is the FIRST one i'm truley impressed with. Fast, responsive and easy to use for an experience winmo person such as myself. I had a couple of lock-ups to start with but soon found the errant programs and removed them... back to the land of stability! :D

I can't help but notice though that I can sit here with a full signal and yet people can ring me and get sent to voice mail (as if I had no signal). This is sadly, a major flaw, if the only one I can find with the device.

Im running XannyTechs Rom - EVO Final 1.0.0.202, based on CE OS 5.2.28205 (23518.5.5.0) with Radio 2.05.51.05_2 and protocol 15.28.50.07U

Have you guys heard of this? Is this a common issue or just one i'm experiencing?

Thanks!!!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
this has been mentioned before, you can update just the radio without affecting the installed rom. go read the radio roms sticky thread in rom development section.
[HD2 General] Monty Burns:
Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I've just upgraded x.02 levels.... hope that solves my only issue. Wonder if it also solves the mildly irritating 3g data connection issue as well......?

Hello, i was searching a looong time for the perfect music player.

At the moment I am trying the 2d Manila Player.

It is almost perfect, but I have a problem, because actually it is in QVGA.

With a Fix (attached File) I could make it WVGA, but I still have 2 graphical Bugs.

In the Standard Player-View the buttons are too small (see Pic Bug1) and

in the Library-View there is a black box on the top (see Pic Bug2).

Hoping for help. :)

If you wanna try it too, please be aware that I dont know if it destroys your standard manila 1 or 2.1 music tab, I disabled the tab.

I think deinstalling the app should fix it, if it crashes.

Please dont wonder why I use the TouchFlo2d Player, although I have Manila 2.1...:D

[HD2 General] kelvinchewsg:
hi guys,

i still have a list of hd2 issue yet to be solve, can any kind soul reply with solutions here in sequence.

1) when i am on my wired earpiece, the volume is so max that it can be unbearable at times. i know i have the volume rocker to up and down the volume to suit my hearing but then if i lower my volume it also carried the low volume to the connected calls. is there a workaround for this?

2)when i am on a connected call, i can hear hissing sound which is so irritating and the other party on my line ask if i'm on speakermode. workaround? volume is soft as well by the way.

3)phone hangs alot and i have to remove the cover and battery, the usual standard procedure. i know it could be manila.exe accumulating resources so high that it can be disruptive. the only solution i have now is restart at periodic time to maintain phone usefulness.

4)Weather not updating.

5)Flash player on HD2 if there is.

i cant think of anymore now.. maybe later..

sometimes when i felt my phone was stable for a few days it hangs unexpectedly. but there so much tweaking that needs to be done on this phone that i have to take a risk bricking the phone. there is really endless tweaking to this phone. imagine if i were to hardreset and reinstall all tweaks and stuffs .. it will be a nightmare when i have gone so far in tweaking it.

thats WM..

one question here, when im on Ring config, i press the volume rocker up and down, i get almost the same sound level whether im on on max vol or min vol

i do hear a difference on the System config when i up/down the volume..

do u have this issue?
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
soft reset and see again as i don't have this problem. you must adjust the ring not during the phone is ringing but before it tell me if it works
