We need more details. Kinda hard to tell what exactly went wrong w/out details. Lol.

As far as overclocking go, what file manager did u use to make the edits? I found the easiest one to use for editing start up txts is gool ol File Explorer. I had issues using total commander. First, u have to make sure the spacing is right, when u enter in the edit. Its real picky and will trow out the previous or following command line in the txt, if its not spaced right. Plus the edit has to come b4 that phykeyboard command. That's probaly mispelled but u should know what I mean. Then u have to make sure that once ur done with the edit, it stays as a Txt file. Its gonna ask u to save and if u want to save it as a Doc., say No. That keeps it in its original format of startup txt. If u save as a doc. , then it definitely won't wrk.

If u still having issues, juss let me know. Or look a few pages back from the last, on the android rhodium thread. I had uploaded my overclocked startup txt there. All u would have to do is make a copy of ur original unedited startup txt(to hve juss in case), then delete that startup txt in ur andboot folder. Then download my overclocked one in there. It'll overclock u to 787MHz. ;-) make sure to read the notes on it though. So u will know the in and outs of it and what to do if issues arise. Its real easy once u get the hang of it. Try it out..let me know how it goes.

demandarin is right, and just like Johnny-5, we need more input!

It is important the 'set cmdline' line is all on a single line. All the options are listed with a single space between each option, and a double quote starting and ending the complete options list.

In the FAQ, it may appear that this line wraps or is two lines, but that is side-effect of the html page and narrow views/screen resolution.

I do all my editing with a vim editor...;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] richinlc:
Demandarin,

When I edited my startup.txt I just used file explorer. I put the oc line as the last line before the keyboard entry. It must be my spacing that is giving me problems.

I have looked through a ton of your posts, lol.I cannot find your startup.txt copy anywhere could you post it for me?

Also, I just noticed that when in android I cannot make outgoing calls, is there a fix for that ?

I tried to reply to you yesterday while i was at work using the onscreen keyboard but it kept correcting me with the wrong words how do I turn it off.

sorry for the format of my post I am running late and wanted to get back to you as soon as I could. Thank You
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
Yeah, u juss have to keep practicing at it. I usually put it somewhere in the middle to be on the safe side. Ill post my startup txt shortly in the main thread, so look for it after u see this post.

As far as ur outgoing calls not wrking, not sure. What device do u have? Is ur internet , incoming, and data wrkn though? If none are wrkn, then u probaly have to manually enter in ur carrier APN settings, which can b found on first page, thru link, of the rhodium android cab thread. Click on the download button. A whole slew of info and troubleshooting tips in there. If ur apn settings already in there, and other stuff wrks, then id say just delete ur data img. In the andboot folder in ur sd card.

You should keep trying the edit though, so u can have it downpacked. I couldn't get it right at first either..lol. tried a million times , kept getting errors. Then I finally got it. U know u got it when ur Android boots up without giving u errors that this or that is not a commandline. Ima boot back into windows now to post that in the rhodium android cab thread for ya.

here u go, this will put u at 787MHz ;-) dwnload the "systempanel" app from the marketplace. it does everything and will let u see ur processor speeds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] daddymikey1975:
This won't hurt the phone ? (just askin')
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
No, not that I know of or have noticed. The only thing is that if u let the phone go to sleep, in android, it doesn't like to wake up a lot of times. My solution for that is go into Android settings. Then go to display. Scroll down to screen timeout. By default its set to 1 minute. I put it at the max at 30 mins. So the phone won't go to sleep or timeout for at least that long. Everytime the phone is touched, whenever, it resets that timer. I also went into spareparts. Scroll dwn to end button behavior. Change it to "Home" only. Instead of sleep. I get about 6-7hrs off da charger with really, really heavy android use. When I boot into android, I'm on it. Lol. Plus another tip is if u leave it on the charger and use it, it won't fall asleep. Even if u put it to. Its still technically running although the screen is off.

As always, use at own risk. Juss like with any other program or anything u dwnload. I haven't had no problems other than what was stated. To me, the difference in everyday performance is greatly enhanced. The builds work perfectly fine without the overclocking. With the overclocking, it makes everything faster and smoother and a ton less lag. Try it and determine for urself. ;-)

Just got home from work. A little tired and a little drunk lol. thank you so much for your help. I will try to change the startup.txt in the morning when I can focus.

A few questions;

Have you tried the battery fix at all?

I see you have increased your clock speed. how do you like it ? does it still have the sleep problems?

What other things can you change in the startup.txt file?

Thanks and good night.one more beer and its bedtime. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] richinlc:
Demandaron,

Dude it totally Works. Thank you. Also I can confirm that setting the sleep mode to 2 works perfectly as a fix for the phone not wanting to wake up.

Edit: So this thing is awesome,everything is faster even web load times.

More questions:

Is there anything else i can use to enter text other than the tapatalk app? It keeps incorrectly correcting my words lol

How can i backup my settings/apps?

Random thing happened. I was using the slide out keyboard and all the sudden my tp2 goes dark like its sleeping (also it was plugged in). I had to pull the battery to get it to boot again.

No problem. I tried to reply to ur pm but I don't think it went thru. Xda havin issues or somethin..lol. I called n left u a voicemail.

As far as backing up ur settings, in Android settings, there's a place to check off backup settings. I'm not sure which one its under. Or if u trying to back up apps or whateva, use Astro explorer or titanium backup.

I think that pmem setting or battery edit for startup txt causes ur device not to charge when on the charger. I've read of that happening with a few people. Dats y I don't use it. 6ve never had my battery die not once while booted in Android. :P

With the keyboard thing, I think its a manufacturer thing or error. Me and several others noticed, in windows mobile, that if u open the keyboard to fast/hard or let it close too fast/hard..then it'll reboot or whateva. Something about maybe the battery contacts comin off for that split second. A simple fix for that is to wedge a piece of paper in between ur battery and battery cover. So it'll keep the battery pressed down and the power contact stays made. Regardless or keyboard or not. That's what I heard on that issue. I juss make sure to close the keyboard easily instead of letting it slam shut

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gman8966:
On my old iphone, when the screen went dim, if you were to tap the screen, regardless of where you tapped it would wake, but on the Evo when the screen dims if you tap it will not only wake the screen but click on whatever you tapped on as well. Pretty annoying when you're in a web browser and try to wake the screen but it clicks on a link.

Anyone know if there's a setting or fix for this?

I'm just looking to join the dev community and do some documentation for DC. I don't need to do anything underhanded like complain to Sprint and whine for a free upgrade or whatever. Just curious to see if anyone knows how or if there are any deals that'll knock a few bucks off the non-upgrade price for me.

PS: I can also wait, I don't need the phone immediately. Looking for July sometime when they're back in stock.

Search Bing for Wirefly. They're selling it for $480, but Bing Cashback will net you fifty dollars. In total, it will come out to $430. That isn't much of a difference, but it IS cheaper.

[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
I am not sure if you have a current phone with sprint. I got the Hero in November '09 and was not quite at my upgrade. I was able to go to the sprint store and trade in my Hero for $80. So the Evo was $449 - $80 which I paid $369 for it. The good thing is November if they come out with a faster phone I will be able to sell my Evo because it is unlocked and get a new phone with the upgrade discount and it will make up the difference.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
I think this is my best choice in all honesty. I have the same situation.

I COULD sell my launch HERO on eBay or Craigslist but I'm not confident that anyone would buy it for more than $100 anyway. A piece of the volume rocker cracked and some of the metallic paint is wearing on the back button.

I believe I'm also a premiere customer or whatever they call that, so yeah in October/November of this year if they release a new phone, I'd be eligible for $150 off or something.

EDIT: Another idea is to grab the EVO on Wirefly and get the $50 cash back, that's $430. Then try to give back my HERO for $80, that's roughly $350 for an EVO at that point. $350 isn't bad. It's kind of like a moron not mailing in his rebate and then ordering overnight shipping and having it delayed for 4 weeks. I could be comfortable being that moron.
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
I am not sure Sprint will do a trade in unless you buy the phone from them. If you decide to do this, ask to keep the battery for the hero. It is the same battery the Evo uses.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Get one for $450 and sell your previous phone to subsidize it. I got $225 for my Hero.

[EVO 4G General] IKMIKI80:
I bought mine for 439 on ebay without tax
[EVO 4G General] flexte:
try this. have someone else put the phone under their name so you will get it for $199, then do a change of liability and put the phone in your name. not sure if they pay an etf cause they are transferring the contract to you. if not your all good. what i did was open up a business account and only paid 199 then i ported my old number to tmobile. 3 days later i ported it to my business account. paid an etf but only paid 199 for the phone and can sell my old phone to balance out the etf.
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
I ended up having to grab it off the Sprint website because Wirefly, Newegg and all the others stopped offering the phone. Unfortunately this means that I have to pay a hefty tax for the device bringing the total up to about $495 for the phone. To subsidize this though, I'm going to attempt to sell my HERO for about $100. I might even try to participate in the recycling program instead so that I can get $80 back and keep my battery/sd-card.

Either way, if I find that the phone sucks hard, I can just turn around and sell it. Also, if something more awesome comes out by October (my 1-year contract mark), I can upgrade to it and sell the EVO for a decent price.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
consider this idea.. only an idea...

try Best Buy.. so they can give you instant rebate.

tell them you want to cancel your contract..pay the fee. i am guess it is $150.

get new contract.. have them port the number to new contract. get the EVO for $199.

Trade the Hero into BB for $80-100 (i have heard some have gotten $110)

if it works. 199 +150 - $100 = 250

maybe.. a shot :P
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
Wont work.

a. Unless you have another line available to add, you can't turn one off and then add a new one right away.

b. You can't port a number from a deactivated line (and usually not within the same carrier.)
[EVO 4G General] sidepart:
I suppose one could try to pay the ETF to have Sprint at least change the contract from 2-yr to month to month. Although they'd probably be confused by this, and probably wouldn't let you do it to begin with. Then just sign up for a new plan, and start a new 2-yr contract. I really doubt that could work.

Alternatively, I suppose if one didn't want to keep their phone number...they could just ETF, and purchase the new phone and contract.

Really I'm not willing to **** around with any of that though. I was more interested to see if someone like...knew a guy who had a trick or coupon code, or had access to some kind of super secret "knock-a-few-bucks-off-for-a-friend" deal.

[Desire Accessories] DashingGentleman:
Just got one of these smartcables from ebay for £4.99. Thought I would give you guys a quick review, because I think these are pretty cool. I saw a thread here where people claimed they did not work as sync cables, and only charged. I can confirm that my cable WORKS FOR DATA TRANSFER ON THE DESIRE.

This thing is great - the metal barrel unscrews to reveal an USB plug and a microUSB plug connected by about 7cm of cable. The tip of the USB plug itself is hollow and allows a microSD(HC) card to be inserted and read. The barrel is 16mm in diameter and about 3.5cm long, plus the loop of cable. Might be a bit too big a keychain for some of you - I don't mind as I carry a whole jumble of stuff anyways.

There is a tiny slide switch just above the USB plug which switches between connecting to the phone or the integrated microSD card reader - the computer can only see one at a time. While the switch is set to microSD, the phone can still charge. I think the people who couldn't get these to transmit data either didn't discover this switch or had defective cables. The switch really isn't obvious and requires something pointy to toggle (I find the end of a key just about works).

There are two LEDs - a red one which lights up whenever there is a USB connection and a blue one which indicates the SD card reader is active.

I would recommend these to anyone wanting a portable cable, either for sync of for topping up the battery. Coupled with a microSD card, this acts as a perfectly decent flash drive.

[Desire Accessories] kmetek:
what does thing actually do?

it charges and synces same time? what about synching and using as disk at same time?
[Desire Accessories] DashingGentleman:
It has a switch which can toggle between two modes:

- Charge and sync phone like any USB cable

OR

- Charge mobile and act as a microSD card reader
[Desire Accessories] Julian1984:
The seller just said me that it doesn't work for HTC Desire... :(
[Desire Accessories] DashingGentleman:
Yeah, the seller insisted that these only work on Nokia phones with a "5 PIN" connector when I asked him. Google reveals that these phones just use a standard micro-USB port. The cable arrived with a "For Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson" sticker. Again, mine works fine - the seller probably can't test this and would rather lose sales than have people complaining when stuff doesn't work.
[Desire Accessories] kmetek:
so using it as disk and syncing same time isnt possible?
[Desire Accessories] DashingGentleman:
Nope, you need to unplug the cable and toggle the tiny switch.
[Desire Accessories] alias_neo:
The switch is just a physical toggle on the data pin switching between the device connected to the cable and the data pin of the card reader in the head of the USB plug.

Switch it one way, one has data, switch it the other, the other does.

Keep it in the middle (astable) then either both or non do and you get a lovely mess :D
[Desire Accessories] Julian1984:
So it should work, right?
[Desire Accessories] @MARK:
I have one of these sitting in front of me.

Yes I can sync data with my desire, yes I can charge and (with a flick of the switch) I yes I can read a sd card however that last function is not important to me.

But for some reason, this is bigger than I expected it to be,
[Desire Accessories] Stubzz:
Mine works for data as well, as already mentioned its just a shame they couldn't have made it a bit smaller.
[Desire Accessories] Snowdan:
This looks like just what I have been after. I can only see them for £12.99 (not the £4.99 the link has and that seller has only SE and the wrong type of Nokia) on ebay. Before I place an order as it still seems worth it, does anyone know another place to buy from? Thanks.
[Desire Accessories] DashingGentleman:
Don't buy one for £13, wait until the seller updates their listings with more of the £5 ones.
[Desire Accessories] EroThraX:
The switch on this is insane it is almost completely hidden, it doesn't even poke out or anything.
[Desire Accessories] foxmeister:
Yes, but in general use you don't need the switch.

It's only there if you want to plug a micro-sd card directly into the USB connector.

If, like me, you just want it to charge/access your Desire, you can leave the switch in the other position.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Accessories] tinytom21:
Well I never! I've had this cable for about 2months now and not even realised there was a switch there! J changed it over last night and it didn't really work, 'connection failed' type thing came up on the pc, but the phone recognises the pc is there, so maybe I was just unlucky. Would highly recommend this cable..

[Desire Accessories] alias_neo:
it's not too big really, it's a nice size for a key-ring. If you took the little silver loop off that I have my pen drive hanging off it'd be a perfect size I think. The cable can't really be much shorter because it's restrictive enough as it is, but it's a great help in emergencies.

I may look at a nice, neat way of closing off the little hole on the end where my pen drive is hanging, it'll be much more elegent then.
