[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ristiisa:
The other day i flashed a few roms and because all except the first one were not of my taste, i flashed back to the first rom i tried that day. I was a bit puzzled that it seemed slower that it did before so i did Task29 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191) and reflashed. Now its like twice as slow as it was before Task29. Weird...

Is it possible that my X1 is getting more sluggish by every flashing i do?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
i had that problem, what worked for me, i flashed the stock r3a rom, task29 then flash the stock rom... now my x1 is perfecto
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ristiisa:
I guess thats worth a shot...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
sorry for the mistake, after flashing stock, task29, then custom rom
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briian_:
I never quite understood how that works?

Spike, mind explaining?

Like how if you flash back to stock, then task29 and custom again, how does that solve the issue?

I've seen chefs and others recommend this process, although i x1 is doing fine, but just curious (:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
It's like sightings of Big Foot, nobody can explain it.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ristiisa:
Thanks for the suggestion, it worked! It's operating in acceptable speed (my x1 has never been fast). It fixed also lagging of video recorder.

np, i thought you meant that ;) I have done it before when my x1 started hard resetting itself.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethanliew92:
how to find the stock rom? cuz what I see in the stock rom files posted in the rom dev section are .exe files.. I'm clueless about that..

and they have 2 links.. part1.exe and part2.rar

should I download 2 of those?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ristiisa:
Yes you should, the exe file extracts the rar archive.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
EDIT: SOLVED!

So, I'm waiting for my Nexus one to come in the mail, and I think to myself, "Why not give rooting the slide another go?"

Worked second try. How's that for random....

So, here's how I made it work...Dunno if it was 'luck of the draw', but here ya go anyways...Hope it helps someone!

1. Instead of turning off the phone normally, I rebooted straight into recovery, with the phone being on first.

./adb reboot recovery

2. While rebooting, MANUALLY search for devices as soon as you can type it in, repeating rapidly (This made the difference for me).

./adb devices

3. You should catch the device in offline mode right before the recovery screen. Unplug device for 5 seconds or so, then plug it back in.

./adb devices

List of devices attached
HT05MPS02279	recovery

4. You should see your device in recovery, then you're good to go. If not try again.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fordude:
No, simply hit <control> c from inside the Terminal app to break out of the shell script.

Not really, it may take you several tries to get this as it did for people using M$ Winblows. I tried it about 20 - 30 times on XP and never was successful. After switching to my mac, I got root on the 5th try!

My suggestion is to follow Eugene's guide, it worked great for me! If you have problems, post them here and myself or others will try to help you.

Good luck!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8rbebop:
So I set up my camera to record myself rooting my phone using OSX and a couple friends walked into the room. I got distracted explaining what it was I was doing and didn't make the how to. If I have free time tomorrow afternoon I can make a how to vid. My girlfriend just got her slide yesterday and I believe she wants me to root it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangri:
it's exactly the same doing it in Mac OSX as doing it in Windows except you don't have to worry about drivers. Make sure you get android SDK for Mac OSX and that you put it somewhere that is in your PATH variable.

But if you feel more comfortable doing it from Bootcamp Windows partition -- by all means do that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8rbebop:
Don't boot camp it... lol

I'll be posting a Mac OSX version of Eugene's Root Method shortly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
sk8rbebop, Fordude, stangri, Thanks for the quick replies! Wasn't expecting anything so soon!

I think I have tried to press CMD+C to stop the script, must have been my problem. lol.

@stangri What do you mean by PATH variable? I have the Android SDK installed in my home folder...

@sk8rbebop That's pretty funny :D. I'm going to have a go at it right now, I'll edit this post with my results.

edit: I don't know if this is right, but I stop the script when I see the device in offline mode. But when I unplug device, re-plug and run ./adb devices nothing shows up. The same happens if I don't unplug.

edit2: Still nothing. adb never recognizes device after I stop the loop.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk8rbebop:
I threw up a guide. Hope it helps.

Don't shut off the loop until something displays under the devices.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fordude:
Re: Question: How to root MyTouch Slide using OSX?

When u connect the slide to your mac and type "adb devices", do you see your phone listed? Crucial first step before moving on.

To make things a little easier for me, I put the sdk tools folder in my path so I could issue adb commands in any directory I want to.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
@sk8rbebop Read the guide and i'm still stuck at the loop. I'm having the same issues as earlier, the device will show for a little bit but right before the recovery screen shows, it dissapears. I was stopping the script once I saw the device, before it "dissapeared". Stopping the script after it dissapears does the same...

BTW, I've noticed that I need to start the adb daemon before I run the loop in order for it to even see the device in the loop. Odd.

@Fordude Yes, if I run ./adb devices when the phone is on I get my serial number and it says "device".

edit: I found that I am running an out of date SDK revision, so I am updating to the newest (revision 6), lets see if that makes any difference...

edit 2: No dice. Lame. Oh well I guess...Try try again. My mac seems to be determined not to let this happen

update: So, I'm getting a nexus. Thanks all for your help, happy hacking!

[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
This is a question that I have been thinking about for a little while. Even though I work from a home office, I have always had WiFi off (I usually keep WiFi and GPS off). But since I only get about 600-700kbps in my office and 1.1mbps in the kitchen and other parts of the house, I figured I'd just run WiFi on the phone (which by the way is not bad).

I have not noticed a significant change in my battery life. I still get over a day of battery life with moderate usage.

My thought is that the 802.11 radio probably uses less power than the 3G radio does for data.

Anyone care to shed some light? Maybe there are datasheets out for the chipsets that specify the power consumption?
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
The short answer is your observations are correct. It's pretty well documented and a lot of places will recommend it.

I am not sure where you would find the hard data you are asking for though.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
It has been known for a long time that wifi uses less power than 3G. It's part of the tips in saving battery life for many devices.
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
Forgot to mention, for $10 you can buy an app "Locale" that will turn on and off WiFi based on where you are. I have not tried it yet, but it seems highly recommended. It does the WiFi and virtually every other setting as well, ring tones, screen, etc...
[EVO 4G General] liquidkernel:
I figured I was right. Thanks for the info you guys!
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
WiFi will generally use less power if you are continuously streaming and pushing a lot of data, however, 3G will likely use less power for light use like occasionally checking email, twitter, light web browsing, etc.

So, use WiFi if you will be downloading and using a lot of data, like watching streaming video and downloading lots of apps from the market.

If you are just checking a couple of things here and there, and you're constantly turning your phone on and off between periods of light use 3G will use less power.

[HD2 General] Tommy.Donnelly:
Hi.

I need about a software, that allow to set multiple WIFI profiles, because in my home i need to SET MANUALY HD2 WIFI with net adress (192.168.1.1 etc.), but when i go out, i need to catch FREE WIFI SPOT so i need to set rapidly WIFI Configuration with AUTO IP (and when i'm at home, return to Manual Adress).

I had tried WIFI Profiles, but i can't understand how i can put AUTO IP ADRESS there.

Please help me !

Compliments for great site !
[HD2 General] watcher64:
There is a program called Wifi Monster, have not explored it a lot, but sounds like it might do what you want ...

Just search for it ....

Hope it helps ...
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
i'm curious about why you have to use a static IP for your HD2 at home. you can set your home router for DHCP (just like the rest of the WIFI hot spots you like to connect to). if assigning a specific IP to your HD2 or to other machines on your network is important, why not use "static DHCP"? static DHCP is configured in your router and will ensure that each device gets the same IP address every time.

i have configured my home router so that 10 IP addresses are available for machines. the first 5 IP addresses are assigned to specific machines using static DHCP. the rest of the slots are available for guests and friends who occasionally bring their laptops/smartphones to my place and need to get on my network. the router works intelligently by reserving the static DHCP IP addresses only for my specified machines and uses the rest dynamically for unspecified machines.

on top of all this, i have MAC address filtering to keep a tight ship.
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Maybe he needs a static IP for Work, some places still use statics ....
[HD2 General] Tommy.Donnelly:
Thanks ASCIIker & WATCHER64

I'll try all your suggestions, however the first work fine, i'll fix MANUAL ADRESS on DHCP and put AUTO on HD2.

All work fine now, but i'll try also WIFI Monster when i need only MANUAL ADRESS on my ROUTER.

Thanks to ALL !

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknee:
These type of questions belong in Q&A, not development.

None, if you run any ruu.exe you will lose root. Instead you have to flash a stock rooted ROM. All ROMs are available here.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team Scream:
This is my first post,

I am brand new to Android and this is my first "smart phone".

I am an old guy, some might call 48 really old, but I am good to go.

Anyway,

I tried a few times to root my phone and install a custom rom.

I got through the root process fairly easily, but was in a constant reboot loop when trying to flash to the RvU_1.3.2.zip rom from Android central.

In a panic, feeling like I was about to brick my new phone, I read the posts on this forum and downloaded a file linked in another post called:

RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.6_Radio_1.39.00.05.31_release_171253_signed.exe

Before I went through that process, I restored the back up I made during the rooting attempts.

Like an idiot, I did NOT make a back up BEFORE I started the root process, but instead, I made a back up once the phone was (theoretically) rooted.

So, once that restore was completed, I ran the RUU_xxx file above and here is what I went through:

The first time through, it got hung up about 80 seconds into the process.

I did not panic, instead, I launched the application again, and it went through the motions and restored my Evo to a factory fresh rooted ROM as far as I can tell.

So,

If it fails the first time, DO NOT panic, DO NOT disconnect the USB cable and do NOT hit any buttons on the phone.

Just launch the app again, and go through the motions, and it WILL succeed.

I have read posts from people who have had to go through the process 4 or more times to get back to the rooted factory state.

I had to do it twice.

[General Topics] Superman22x:
Looking into a new HTC phone. I can't get any phones from AT&T without a $15/month data plan... So I am looking at buying used, and my budget is around $200. Based on that, the two phones that look good are the Tilt 2 or the Mytouch. I like the android OS, but the big downside to the mytouch is the lack of a keyboard as I do a lot of texting. The new mytouch slide is out of my price range.

Is the onscreen keyboard with the mytouch halfway decent? I have the original Tilt/kaiser now, and I know the touch screen on that would suck for texting.

Any other phones I should look into maybe as well? Thanks!
