To everyone havinf issues getting 60667:

Sometimes you have to tell it to update more than once (It's taken me up to five tries before). Update your profile, too. I don't know why it helps, but it seems to. I always do this:

Update profile ->

Update PRL->

Repeat until I get the update.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damiandarkwater:
Sweet beans. Got the new prl (:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreptom:
Hm. I'm on 60664..

Edit:

I'm just lazy because I'd have to do a nandroid backup of Darch.. then install fresh. I've had so much problems with soft reboots when I do a nandroid backup of Darch.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doeboy711:
where was the 666 update?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damiandarkwater:
With the unholy father ofcourse. O:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meixner76:
I was at 66, first try...no result. Updated profile, then PRL, and am now at 67 :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyturtle:
Haha... Listen - I used to work for Sprint on the network. PRL = Preferred Roaming Lists and is in a nutshell an updated list of towers in your immediate area along with some other information such as which neighboring towers your call can hand off to and under what circumstances (power levels, traffic congestion levels, etc.).

You're not necessarily going to automatically see some REALLY GREAT coverage improvement just by updating this. The reason some of you will and some of you won't is pretty simple: Geographical location. Maybe your neighborhood got a new tower (on Sprint's profit margins [well, now Ericsson actually since THEY maintain the network] there aren't very many new towers going up in a hurry), or maybe the RF Engineer for your area identified a problem or an expanded coverage need and tried to tweak the BTS (cell tower) parameters to improve coverage in that particular area. When the RF Engineer makes changes to parameters they are uploaded to a central location where when your phone either resets or is updated (PRL update) it gets the new PRL sent to it.

If your area had nothing changed... expect to see nothing different. :o)

If your neighbor just got a new monopole erected in his backyard and he's leasing it to Ericsson for $4k+ /mo. and beaming out airwaves, well then you can expect to notice a HUGE difference.

In the end, it's never a bad idea to do a PRL update manually once in awhile anyhow - especially if you're travelling out of your normal area. Doing so will get you optimal coverage for the area you're currently in. If you ever have signal issues - try the PRL update just for good measure, but don't hold your breath.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Careful with this one. A guy on PPC said he lost his evdo when he updated. Not sure about the credibility but thought Id put it out there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyturtle:
This happens sometimes briefly when you refresh the PRL list (loss of EVDO), particularly if it's on a busy cell tower. If it happens, rebooting your phone brings it back right away (heck you can even turn "Mobile" off & back on again and it should bring it back). If not, then move to another location where you'll be on a different tower.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Good to know. Like i said not sure of his credibility or anything so I take no stock in it. But thanks for that tidbit of info turtle. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kfunk:
I updated and ended up with 60666
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Update profile and then try again it should happen.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kfunk:
You're a friggin genius! i now have 60667 and an extra 2 bars of reception!:D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyturtle:
Bars of reception come & go within seconds merely depending on how you hold your phone, tilt it, rotate it, what people/vehicles/objects are moving around you or near you that reflect & bounce RF - Want to know if it REALLY increased your reception? You, sit your phone down; you sit down [and stay in the same position], get the -db reading for the signal ([dummy] reception bars mean nothing and are anywhere between 7-15 seconds behind what your REAL-TIME reception is). Take an average over 5-10 minutes (without you or your phone moving - and hopefully with nothing moving around you in your local environment). THEN update your PRL, take another 5-10 minute average -db reading. Compare the two. IF it was a stellar improvement, then you MIGHT have actually gotten a benefit; though it could still be some big moving truck outside your residence just happened to move, or the cell tower you were on was busy when you started (coverage for each CDMA cell tower SHRINKS as more users jump on the same BTS) and now it's shed some traffic to neighboring cells.

Am I being critical? Yes. I have a right to. For me it's sort of like when you go into Best Buy/Geek Squad and you know they don't know **** but they act like they do.

If you REALLY want an improvement, get an airave. You'll have a solid connection the entire time, but unfortunately you'll have to stay put local and Sprint will CHARGE you $5 /mo. to increase THEIR coverage area... because you can't limit who uses YOUR Airave and YOUR broadband connection it rides across.

To sum it up - I'm saying a PRL update is not a reliable way to expect better signal. It has almost nothing to do with how good of a signal you'll get because RARELY does Sprint make drastic changes to the BTS parameters that would SUDDENLY give you a miraculous signal improvement.

Okay... I'm stepping down from my soap box now.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animal7296:
Not a genius just kinda a been there done that kinda thing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raz699:
Is there a way to show -db instead of bars on top info bar? I was able to do it on my blackberry.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyturtle:
Settings > About Phone > Network

The closer to 0 [ZERO] the better your signal (remember you're looking at a NEGATIVE number. Having a tower nearby and best coverage would be -65db. -95 or less will get audio loss & close to drop call territory (the person you're talking to will actually get the loss of audio first, since your phone is the weaker/less powerful link). As long as you're -90 or better, you're good, for voice. EVDO on the other hand has a direct relationship with throughput [bandwidth/speed]. The crappier your connection/signal, the lower your speed/bandwidth; no matter whether it says "EVDO" or not on your phone.

How do we make a rom with the best battery life? In this thread, we will make it.

​

Food for thought:

Underclocking

*#*#4636#*#* configurations (wcdma, gsm only, what is best)...}These two will help with the "mobile network" process,

lower gprsclass........................................................}that uses so much in the "battery usage" breakdown in settings

undervolting

wifi scan time

2g networks only

Battery-optimized kernel

NO Swap or Ram Hack or CompCache

ETC.

Anyone have ideas.

I will now list the rom with the best battery life (that i've ever tried)

Htcclay's Superfast 1.3.3

Please post the roms you think have best battery life.

I'm going on a vacation and will not have a charger handy at all times. What is best for me??? contributions are welcome (until we make the ultimate rom discussed in this thread.)

enomthers official AOSP 1.6..
[G1 Android Development] yoson13:
i am running superbad cm51.2.3gj4 and i get around 24-30 hours on a single charge
[G1 Android Development] shamo42:
I'm running SuperD 1.11 with SetCPU @ 384/128 and get about 4 days on a single charge. 3 days with heavy usage and 6 days without any data transfer (only sms and sometimes phone calls).

This is by far the best ROM for battery life I've used. Haven't tried Superfast 1.3.3.

Is it possible to undervolt G1s or MT3Gs?
[G1 Android Development] reserek123:
jumped to almost every 2.1 rom out, Chromatics 3.5 being the last 1 and all of them are battery hogs. I was tired of it so decided to revert back to 1.6 roms (htc clays super csdi) and must say that Im staying here..Its much faster and the battery life nearly doubles. and also with ADW launcher, it gives you everything you need besides MT. Again battery is amazing on csdi roms. just make sure you turn off modder cpu and turbo mode in supsetup and use setcpu clocked at 128min 528max..
[G1 Android Development] shamo42:
I agree. Battery life with 2.1 roms is terrible compared to 1.6 roms (which last up to 50% longer).

Something doesn't seem right with 2.1 roms. I hope Froyo will be better.
[G1 Android Development] zwiebug:
i really like the idea of a battery-optimized rom for g1/32b.

i also made the experience that 1.6 roms are better in terms of battery life than 2.1 based roms. they also are much faster :rolleyes:

btw: the best 2.1 based rom for battery is speedtest 1.2
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
I agree that the 2.1 roms are all terrble, and that something uniform must be wrong with all of them in order to have ALL of them have such bad battery

wow that was horrible... im tired

I'm glad that many of you are interested in a battery-optimized rom. I'll be trying out SuperD today, but its use of swap is detrimental to battery life... I'll have to see.

Any other suggestions?
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
that's attractive... are you using ram hack or not? swap/compcache settings?
[G1 Android Development] MaSt3rGrIfF:
I remember some of the older 2.1 (Not CM 5 based) roms being not nearly as bad on battery life, like KingKlick's. It wasn't as fast and stable as Cyanogen's, but I remember being able to easily go through a full day and half without needing to charge (with moderate use, and an 8 hour gap of nothing for sleep). Maybe digging some of them up and doing some tests?
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
i remember gamercore tweeted about openeclair 1.1 being really good, and i tried it, and it was quite good, but the rom sucked and it was hardly comparable to donut.
[G1 Android Development] MaSt3rGrIfF:
Hmmm, well didn't OpenEclair go up to 2.2.1, before Wes joined CyanogenMod? Do we know what the big difference is between those older roms and Cyanogen's implementation and why there's such a drastic battery (and performance) difference? I always thought it was just lack of drivers and Cyanogen did extensive work to various driver projects to get workable drivers. Would his drivers be the cause of poor battery life? I'm grasping at straws here, but that seems like one of the only things it could be to me.
[G1 Android Development] shamo42:
No compcache/swap but with ram hack.

2.1 roms are using a lot more ram then 1.6 roms.

With 1.6 I have about 40 to 50 MB of free ram after using taskiller.

With 2.1 only 20 MB. This is just a guess but whatever is using these 20-30 MB of ram might be partially responsible for the battery drain.

If additional battery drain is the nature of Eclair (which clearly wasn't built with our "old" phones in mind) then Froyo might bring some improvement.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
I've noticed the same thing. 2.2 seems to be better... but jubeh's rom quit apps in the background much quicker than the other guy who compiled from source and posted in this forum (his had no wifi tho, but i liked it better because of memory management)... i don't know what the difference was, but i liked the other guy's froyo rom better.

Back on topic, I still think that 1.6 remains the best rom for battery life.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
and I heard that 1.10.2 was even better than 1.11 for battery life... (dusty donut as ben called it), is this true? and i can't assess how much changed between 1.10.2 and 1.11 because ben buchacher's changelog is down... somebody help me out here?
[G1 Android Development] shamo42:
v 1.11 release date : 2010 04 29

Change Log:

-Updated Frameworks and Settings from latest Cyanogenmod Donut tree

-Proxy Settings in Wireless Settings

-WIFI in Airplane mode

-USB Debugging notification option

-5 minute screen timeout option added

-Updated Working Renice script -thanks to merlos

-Media to SD -thanks to merlos

-Exchange Work Email app fixed

-Battery percentage option in SpareParts

-Live Folder FC fixed

-Portrait / Columns bug fixed

-Remove Launcher script – This fixes the battery life.-thanks to merlos

– from terminal type remove_launcher then the one you want to remove nexus or stock

—-EXAMPLE: remove_launcher stock

-Other Crap

Maybe the claim that 1.10.02 has better battery life is because of the "Battery percentage option in SpareParts" Some people think it drains the battery. For users of 1.11 I recommend to disable it (Settings -> Spare Parts -> Battery Status Display)
[G1 Android Development] r3s-rt:
I would like to add something about RAM hack... Some games don't appear as "3d" but still need that RAM. As I remember running a 3d game on a ROM with the RAM hack would drain your battery horribly fast and make the game horribly laggy. Well some games can handle the lag, but still destroy battery life.
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
I think the main idea about this thread/rom is to make a rom for the g1 that makes for great battery regardless, so ram hack could be an option that will be disabled for this rom.
[G1 Android Development] r3s-rt:
I know what the thread's about, silly. :P But RAM hack has a great chance of just destroying the whole "better battery life" aspect and I don't think there's really a way around that, that's all I was trying to say.

If you do end up making a ROM with crazy good battery life, I'll definitely keep it around for vacations. I made the mistake of going on vacation with a 2.1 ROM - my phone lived for two days out of a week (and that's with charging every chance I got) so I'm all for you. =]
[G1 Android Development] jcarrz1:
This would be the exact purpose of this thread. and if you read my post, i wasn't trying to say you weren't on topic... just agreeing with you that since this rom will be focused on battery life, the ram hack may be removed to save battery, even at the compromise of speed.
[G1 Android Development] :
Oh oh oh, no need to be all hasty. I read your post. I double read it, I do every post. ;)

I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood you. :)

A n00b question..

ENVIRONMENT

Visual Studio 2008 C++

MS Mobile Pro SDK

MS Mobile OS 6.x

I want to add the HTC HD2 to the Microsoft Device emulator.

I got Josh's .NBH file and tried to convert it to a .BIN, but the resulting file could not be read by the emulator.

Is there someplace I can find the .BIN (preferably with the skin (.XML and .PNG/.BMP files))??

Thanks so much.

As far as I know, there is no way to emulate a device rom using the MS Windows Mobile emulator.

Could someone be so kind as to point me to emulation alternatives, preferably accompanying MS Visual Studio?

[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
coming from a palm pro-....this new phone is my dream device.

but first of all this has been a total headache for me. i purchased the phone on june 4th on the sprint website. i received the phone couple days later. i noticed the back light was shining under the "home" screen and decided i would get a replacement one. i did the 100 dollar MIR thing(which is still being processed) so i had to go trough orders support and they said i had to take the phone to a sprint corporate location so they can verify that it was defective and make a note on my account. they noted the fact that it was a cosmetic issue and a replacement would be granted. when i called orders support so that the exchange process can be made they gave me a curve ball. they said that for them to ship out a new phone they would have to charge me another 299 which i would get back once i send out the defective one and they receive the defective one. if i do not send the old one or they do not receive it i would be charged 200. the worst part is that since my MIR is still being processed it would be denied and and i would loose the first 100 from the MIR she did say that the "new" device would come with a new updated MIR so that i could get the second MIR from the 299 i would have to pay upfront for the replacement(which is supposedly going to be credited).....i think this is too troublesome for me as much as i want to keep this phone. i want to return it. but i want to keep it if i can live with the backlight shining trough. she noted that i would call back within my 30 day for an exchange.(indecisive if i will)

have any of you guys who purchased the phone trough sprint dot com have to go trough this? or is this something new. they also told me i could walk into a corporate location and ask for a replacement if they have it in stock-and could possibly and most likely be a refurbished one. (i might go this route)

sorry for the super long post...but any feed back would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Personally that seems like complete BS on Sprint's part. I've never had to put a "deposit" down on a replacement. They should send you a replacement and then you have something like 10 days to return the other one or they charge your account.

If this really is how "orders support" works then I would recommend that you either wait until the MIR has processed and then do the switch, or walk into a local Sprint store and play dumb and see it they will order the replacement for you.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
It really depends on how much credit you have with them.
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
thanks for the reply ramiss,

i dont think the playing dumb part will work. i dont look at part. also im sure when they pull up my account they will see all the notes posted up on their screen.

as much as i want to wait on that mail in rebate to process.....the rep said it will most likely process past the 30 day limit and i will not be able to claim a-replacement.(what i dont understand is how they can process a claim by charging me ahead of receiving the phone if its not even instock) i would have to play the waiting game untill they get a shipment wich she said would be in 2weeks (past the 30 day)

which to that she replied with-

"but sir because your processing your claim now, you can be sure that you will receive your replacement and then your 299 will be returned to you as soon as you send back the defective device"

then i gave her my rebuttal of " so you want me to send you out the defective device before i even receive my "on back order" device?" -then she stayed quiet and i changed the conversation letting her get herself back into the "lets play a game of who can sell more BS to who"
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
i dont owe them anything if that your reffering too. actually i have a credit of 60 dollars that they still owe me(they will use it for my first months bill cycle under this new plan) that credit is for paying the ten dollar premium web access when i had my prior device and never logging on to the web for 6 months:D
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
I am pretty sure the 30 Day limit is only for returning the phone or swapping it for a different phone. The manufacturers warranty on every electronic device in the US is 1 year and Sprint should honor replacing defective units way past 30 days.
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
im way ahead of you. thanks for pointing that out. because i didnt tell the reps that even if i do have TEP im not going to claim the defect under my insurance....id definatly claim under the one year manufacturers warranty.

hey ramiss, lets say i decide to keep the phone as is, and in lets say 6 to 8 months down the road my screen begins to separate from the base. would u say i could claim it under the manufacturers warranty-but is there a deductible for claiming that instead of TEP?
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
If you are a brand new customer then this may be an understandable policy, but I still don't see how Sprint couldn't send the unit to a store and have you swap them without worrying about who has too many phones at one time.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
There is always grey area as to what caused the issue but if it is a known manufacturing flaw, like the screen separation issue, then it is covered under the manufacterers warranty and you do not need, and should not use, your TEP.

Edit: There is no deductible for manufacturers warranty.

I should point out that my information comes from my experiences with Verizon. I have been a customer of Sprint for only 9 months now but their policies should not be different.
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
ya im pretty sure your right though. im with sprint for 4years and have their premier plans "sero" and also have discounts added to my account and credits from years ago. and i still take advantage of any possible way i can. as i said before after finding out that on sprint dot com they advertised the same plan i had for ten dollars less, i called them and they credited my account with 6 months credit. but after i got the evo the price went back up to what i was originally paying with the extra ten dollars a month fee. which in reality didnt matter to me since i was already paying that and got credited some months back and i browse the internet like an addict on the device.

back to topic-i plan to walk into the corporate store and see if they can swap my phone there. "with the possibility of it being a refurb being above 80 percent" or just wait till the MIR is accepted and sent out to me. then wait half a year and claim under manufactures warranty. (this sounds like the most logical way to do this) but im still considering calling member services and asking them if they could ship out the replacement to a store that i could pick up from.

Hi all, I am using a froyo rom based on richardtrips rom.

I'm trying to push a themed facebook apk. I have placed the apk in the tools folder.

This is what I did.. Boot to recovery, then open a cmd on my windows laptop. I then did the cd to go to my adb tools folder.

Then I typed

adb remount

This gave me an error saying error 0.

So I tried while the handset was booted normally. The remount was successful.

I then typed

adb push system/app/facebook.apk

This just gave me the help list with details of all the commands.

Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
how about

adb shell mount /system

adb push C:\Facebook.apk /system/app/
