O RLY? what about HTC Desire HD ? :D

iphone 4 is much more expensive than x10, and between these phones Desire HD , and other phones, are.

i would recommend you getting both phones to play for a few seconds.

obviously:

- not only screen counts

i have an x10, previously iphone 2g. i would never switch to iphone again. but i dont think X10 is the best engineered product on the phone market

x10 pros:

- sd card

- replaceable battery

- 4" screen, nice for ebooks

- android: you can replace phonebook, dialer, almost everything

- "tasker", script (almost) every action, but it cannot bind action to every key (android limit)

- best bang for the buck: cheapest phone for 1Ghz and 800x480 4" screen (at least in poland)

x10 cons:

- no custom roms :)

- no multitouch really not needed except for games? also I think my typing suffers from that too.

- SMALL keys. especially annoying is "back" key (lets talk about it when you click it for a 1000th time) and "up/down" keys - when riding a bike this was annoying, now i press without feeling the keys, so with a little practice this can be worked around. also see how bit htc keys are

- annoing "it recognized click whereas i was swiping" - i dont know if this is only x10 or other androids-related issue. perhaps 2.1 FW will somehow fix this.

- USB port on TOP! who the hell designed it that way? it makes using phone when loading or connected to PC very ANNOYNG. ALSO, forget about easy switch-on car DOCK or desktop dock.

iphone pros:

- ACTIVATOR: usafter jailbreak you use this an bind EVERY key to some function, android is limiting that and will limit that more on 2.1, unless you hack it per single phone (like desire's search key hack - but they CAN patch kernel... on x10 - currently not possible). for example you can EASILY bind your button to unlock after single click - no more boring swipes to answer call.

- much EASIER to touch: im not the only one on this: iphone is somehow better at predicting that user wants to SWIPE, NOT CLICK.

- interface is easier to read and better thought.

compare iphone's settings screen vs android settings screen.

compare media players: on iphone player you can use it by only touching the screen. android has: "menu" key, which often is hiding some functions, and "long touch" thing, which further hides and slows down the experience. of course android is due to change, there are some apps on android written in this philosophy - see "xiaaLive"

bottom line: i wanted android, and i wanted cheapest 1ghz android phone. i've got x10 and im happy what i get for the money.
[XPERIA X10 General] downesey:
Also, if you look at the backlight on the iphone4, youl see its incrediby bright , thus giving the impression of better colours. I saw my cousin using his while outside at night, and it it up lit hands and face, wheras mine bearly iluminated my thumbs.
[XPERIA X10 General] goothu99:
samsung galaxy vibrant >>>>iphone4>x10, screen wise
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
All phones by default use automatic brightness, if it is dark the screen goes dim to be easy on the eyes. I suppose he selected manual brightness and you got automatic - normal :)

Or the iphone puts more light in automatic mode... anyway im too for some screen comparison - night and sunny day...
[XPERIA X10 General] nycko_h:
Thank s !

Thank you all for your answers, unfortunately nobody has the two phones (x10 iphone4) for a comparison of video playback. The technical aspects are not important to me. just the visibility of videos. It is a simple comparison I wanted, normally you can try out the phones in stores, but once again the iphone is never next to other devices to compare. If the Internet can not help my choice I really know how I will do as a purchase without subscription is still a large sum of money.
[XPERIA X10 General] Cinner:
You will get bigger black bars on your iPhone due to the aspect ratio of the screen. Viewing angles will be better though, which is also important for video.
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
You can go to store and play with it without buying.

And as always, this is forum, you asked the questuon and people talk about the topic not only to answer your problem.

Go to store, ask clerk to run a test movie on it.

I wonder, if someone here told you " i have both phones, i assure, x10 has superior screen, BUY IT!!", you would buy without even looking at many other phones?

Chit chat, and i can answer like that, again, I am "the internet" too :) eh.
[XPERIA X10 General] nycko_h:
very nice DEVEIN to answer me in private, I will certainly follow your advice. I had fun with both phones but the Apple marketing is very good and the videos arranged their demonstration unit occupies the whole screen because they did well not to the attention of 16 / 9, and more with the black design of the iphone this gives an impression of (big screen) and after viewing his screen trying the x10, the proportions are distorted. That's why I wanted a video with the two phones side by side
[XPERIA X10 General] devein:
As you need your phone to play video files, take a good look at video apps.

There is vlc player for iphone but if it is good for playing divx/xvids with subtitles - i dont know. Also check if it can play any file on filesystem or just only these uploaded through that damn itunes.

For android there is rock player and it has subtitles :)

On both phones you can have sshd daemon and their fileeystem visible through sshfs for windows: "webdrive" mounts ssh as a drive letter. For linux and mac there are similar programs.

Regardless of screen paraneters, i would keep with android as it is more open by default for playing any files, you can take out sdcard nd copy or mount the phone as usb drive.

Iphones is a major pain in the butt, ipod mp3/video app plays files uploaded only through itunes(upload only from your computer, you cannot upload from elsewhere, you cannot stick phone to friends computer and copy the songs), you cannot mount phone as usb drive, and it doesnt have sdcards. ive tested some alternative iphone players but they are in very early stages, basically you have to stick with original ipod player. I dont know about this vlc iphone port, though.
[XPERIA X10 General] Wisenos:
i used to run an iphone 3g (2nd gen) before my x10

and now everyday when i see my brother play with my ex iphone i wish i kept it

(might buy it back)

but i love the stock "navigation system" of the x10... with voice directions step-by-step (wich iphone doesn't have "dunno for iphone 4")

yes apple is bad, yes apple wants everything their way (everyone have the same phone with settings and ...) the iphone was fully charged 3 weeks ago(without any simcard) and still around 70% left on battery... (something wrong? or apple knows how to work with "mobility")! To me, apple is a reference in sound/photo/video editing/playback where Sony is a reference in Electronics (TV, Sound system, VHS, Blu-ray player, DVD...)

as back in late 90s till 2005-2007 nVidia WAS the reference in videocards and AMD in cpu (still cheaper than Intel)

So i installed Froyo rom

And it works great but i keep getting a notification saying New Voice Mail(1) Dial *86.

when i call it, it calls my voice mail and says it's says helio is no longer available. How do i get rid of this?

thank you.

------------------

Come on, doesn't anyone have an answer? this is what's keeping me from staying on a froyo based rom. How can i get rid of the new voice mail notification.

I have already changed my voicemail number to my own number and that hasn't worked... anyone????:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Did you ever solve this? I've changed my number in voicemail as well. Still get the notification when the phone boots up. Frustrating, to say the least!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JensHTC:
Clear the Notifications

Hi,

I am not sure if anyone has found the answer to this question yet but if you have not, here it is. I just re-flashed my EVO 4G with the Warm Z TwoPointTwo (RLS 1) custom rom. I had the same problem, the voicemail icon in the upper left corner and it said, dial *86. I went into Menu>Settings>Call>Clear voicemail notification. This fixed my problem.

FYI...The Warm Z TwoPointTwo Custom Rom Rocks. I have my phone over-clocked at 1.2MHz.

The rom is amazing. I am running 2.6.32.27-netarchy-toastmod-4.3.4-cfs-nohavs-noUV-nosbc Kernel

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _emmegi:
Hello,

I've recently bought a Google Nexus One with Vodafone Spain that comes by default with android 2.1 EPF30 and i would like to upgrade to 2.2 froyo.

I was following the guides in this forum, but I get stuck when using the command

fastboot erase cache

It says

erasing 'cache', but it hangs

I could successfully unlock the bootloader, and with adb devices, the mobile is recognized.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sh4d0w86:
i am trying to change the splash screen on my custom rom.

but can't figure out where the file is located.

on the gsm version the file is located at...

Sources\OEM\Rhodium\OEMDrivers

the file is called welcomehead.png

but on the cdma version.

the file isn't there.

and isn't called welcomehead.

yet.

when looking on the phone.

the file is called welcomehead.

can anybody point me to the location of the splash screen?

thanks.

if it helps. i am using osKitchen v1.25.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PRBajista:
I'm currently using a custom rom from mobile underground "L3GION ROM BLUE ARK V1" but I found mine in the windows folder. You just gotta make sure that you select the option "show all files" in file explorer and you will see it. If you use total commander or a similar program then you should find it using the same setting. Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mattgrantlackey:
you could also just use Advanced Config..... no searching or anything.

I assume you want to transfer the EVO to a another cell phone company, and the answer is no. This has been asked many, many, many times before. Please search next time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkyHD2:
I'm sorry, ok thanks
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
Thanks for this, I'll try this now.
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Let us know if it works for you!
[EVO 4G General] berkmanmd:
Thanks man. Looking good so far
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:
Awesome, Something to tinker with all night.
[EVO 4G General] kthejoker20:
download link for setcpu plz...
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Trust me, it's so goddam easy to find. It's even on this forum!
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
I was putting in the info exactly the way you had it in your screen, now I'm attempting to put the "screen off" setting into the profile and every time I try it reboots the phone. I'm running baked snack 9.6 the normal volted (Flashable ZIP - Normal-volted kernel v5.1.1 for use with 2.1 (Eclair) ROMs) kernel.

Any ideas what could be causing this and how to fix it?

---> clicking on the widget also causes a reboot
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Whao, weird. Try enabling Notifications on the Profiles tab to see if it tries to change into a certain profile that's clocked too high or low.
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
I can't, as soon as I tap the Profiles tab it reboots, just tried it... :(
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Which version of SetCPU do you have? 2.0.1? Don't know if it's going to help, but try something in between 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 like 2.0.0b.

Does it happen only after you do the Perflock Disabler? Or does it happen every time you use SetCPU.

Try another kernel. There are tons. Maybe try this one that I'm using here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711964
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
That is the kernel I have, normal volted one - Normal-volted kernel v5.1.1 for use with 2.1 (Eclair) ROMs

I am using 2.0.1, I'll see if I can find an earlier version and see if that works...actually I'll try reinstalling this one and giving it a try again and see if that works first.

Edit : It tells me I don't need to do the perflock
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Yea that's really bizarre. we have almost the same setup. Except I'm running the under-voltaged one.

Edit: Actually, that kernel already has Perflock Disabled by default. You shouldn't have to follow this tutorial. SetCPU should "just work" with your kernel.
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
just got another reboot, maybe I'll try the under-voltaged one and see how that goes :D
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
Flashed the under voltaged kernel and it still rebooted on the profile tab....time to uninstall setcpu for now I suppose?
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
I guess so. Since this custom kernel already has perflock disabled, you can use another app like OverclockWidget to underclock the CPU. Try it out and let us know maybe.
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
appears as thought the overclockwidget works...just wish it had the profile setup like setcpu does.

I'll look and see if I can find an earlier version of setcpu.
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Nice, glad it worked out. OverclockWidget has very basic profiles, but they do the job. Any version of SetCPU should work for you, since you dont need the Perflock Disabler with that kernel.
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
ok, I got setcpu 2.0.0c and started doing the profile like yours, got to the second seting about the charge/full and saved, got the reboot...
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Lol I don't know what to say man. Something's screwy.
[EVO 4G General] davida72:
I skipped the charge/full setting and did all of the other settings and it's working fine with no reboot

:confused:

edit: nevermind - getting the reboot again lol....this sucks
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
uhhh.... glad it worked out LOL
[EVO 4G General] yarrimapirate:
Since he's rebooting at the Charge/Full setting, I suspect that he's trying to overclock his CPU to 1190 MHz like you have and his CPU is overheating and rebooting the phone.

Try replacing 1190MHz with the 998Mhz setting on the main screen and in the Charge/Full profile (and the 100% profile). If you don't get a reboot then start working your way up in clock speed one step at a time.

(OMG Unlurk!)
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Haha great first unlurk. Yea definitely try lowering the max CPU speed. Maybe performance+max is too much for your phone to handle.
[EVO 4G General] newone757:
Yes in my experience most people get reboots when overclocking past 1152. Thats my sweet spot anyway

and to the OP, those comparison shot before and after perflock disabler are completely inaccurate and misleading. Look at the device usage on the two shots, you used to hell out of it on the before, and it sat idle the WHOLE time on the after shot. Dont get me wrong, it helps, and ive been using it for a while. But if youre gonna conduct test like that you have to use the device the same way each time if youre using it as evidence
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
You're right that before was from a while ago. I don't have a good screenshot a before. Let's just say that I've never idled for 8 hours and get only a 5% battery drop before (compared to my first picture). Maybe I should do a test tonight and see how the battery holds up without SetCPU profiles. Thanks for pointing it out.
[EVO 4G General] newone757:
no worries, just wanted to say something before somebody comes in here and tries to slander the whole thing. Cause it actually works preety well. Good guide
[EVO 4G General] acrh2:
Agreed. I've been playing with SetCPU for the last week.

My conclusions:

1) Using profiles increases the battery drain while the phone is sleeping. It's much better to just set lower clocks manually.

2) I'm using the 30fps fix for epson panels kernel. At least with that kernel, the lower speed setting of 128MHz prevents the phone from sleeping properly. The default setting of 245MHz should be used instead.
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
I've been using this app since it came out for the G1 and have been using it since the perflock update and in my personal opinion, setting sleep profile to 245/245 has helped noticeably w bat drain, i also have been experimenting using 768/245 for every day use while at work.

Sent telepathically via my Evo.

-_-
[EVO 4G General] trentlythp:
Same results here. For the sleep profile I use 245. For some reason I get better battery this way. While I am at work I set it to 499 just for texting and calls. After work I bump it back up to 998. With these setting I consistently get a day and a half sometimes 2 days depending on usage. Thanks OP for some tips that I didn't think about!
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Whao weird. I'll have to test this myself. Is 128Mhz unstable with the 30fps-fix-kernel or something?
[EVO 4G General] IOInterrupt:
What kind of Long Bench results are you guys getting on the EVO? The OP was claiming 1000ms, but I am getting about 4000ms with the EVO clocked at 998mhz.

SetCPU v2.0.1

DamageControl 3.2.3 w/Performance profile
[EVO 4G General] trentlythp:
I just tested it and got 1018 ms. That was when I was clocked to 998

Tested it with 499 and got 2111 ms

I verified these results with a CPU benchmark app. That was DC 3.2.3 with battery saver
[EVO 4G General] IOInterrupt:
It must have been an issue with DCConfig not changing my profiles correctly. I rebooted and now I am getting about 950.
[EVO 4G General] IOInterrupt:
Ooooookay. How about any issues changing the min or max clock speeds? When I change the min and max sliders the app always shows and stays with the 998 max and 245 min setting.

I got it to work once, but then went back to 2.0.1 and found this issue present. I figured it was a problem with 2.0.1, so I uninstalled and installed 2.0c and it's doing the same thing. Tried rebooting the phone, but no luck.

EDIT: NM, I am an idiot...forgot to redisabled perflock after rebooting again. Time for a custom kernel....
[EVO 4G General] PAPutzback:
quote--- What are your settings?

---, Advanced Task Manager set to SAFE kill tasks when screen is off.

Is that the name of the App killer app you are using or do you use the system panel app to auto kill. There are a dozen or so task mangers. And do I need the paid version for auto kill options.

Also I don't seem to be able to overclock. My slider for max only goes to 998400
[EVO 4G General] :
this is a great thread!

using 5.1.1 nova kernal underclocked,

definitely reboots if i go to 1190

and definitely doesn't sleep right at 128 (been running that way for a day, was wondering why the battery life was terrible, and it was charging slow)

looking forward to any battery improvements!

im sure this is a dumb question that i should know, but whats the battery graphing program seen on the OP?
[EVO 4G General] trentlythp:
Haha Sorry I had too... It's a great app though :D
[EVO 4G General] trentlythp:
Are you using the stock kernel? If that is the case then you will not be able to overclock. If I understand this correctly then disabling the perflock only allows you to underclock your cpu. I dont believe it gives youthe ability overclock. This will only be allowed through a custom kernel.

I hope I explained that right. If I didn't then someone please correct me for the benefit of all of us :)
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
Crap, I should change my OP. The program is actually Advanced Task Killer Pro. I don't know if the free version has auto-kill, but you can find out for us right? ;)

correct. It's also in the FAQ i put at the end of the tutorial.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
That is not necessary. I feel like you end up consuming more juice when running so much apps when screen keeps turning off (SetCPU already runs everytime it goes off and on to adjust clock settings).
[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Not necessarily..

If you set the freq to 245 min and max when screen is off then battery waste is very minimal.

Remember, it's not whats in the memory but the cpu cycles that waste battery.
[EVO 4G General] pingpongboss:
I'm running a task manager "just in case". Since it's set to the SAFE setting, it should only reclaim memory from the tasks/apps that have no activity at all. Not sure if it saves any battery, but it hasn't done any harm.
[EVO 4G General] BobFromAccounting:
FYI - I get the exact same SystemPanel battery drain graph over 8 hours without doing anything above of the sort. I'm currently running an unrooted, totally Evo-launch stock phone (bought on Day 1 and no patches applied at all).

That's my device usage over the last 8 hours. The spike at 6:15ish is me firing up the phone and checking the weather and news, and the one at the very end is me firing up ShootMe and taking a shot. Notice how low my CPU Activity sits at? That's the secret to keeping the battery lasting as long as possible.

I run no task killers, no Facebook apps, no Live Wallpaper, no Bluetooth/GPS/WiFi, nothing that auto updates short of my weather app (Google's News and Weather, or Genie, or something that's a native app from another phone - not sure what it's called).

The only thing outside the ordinary I've done is that I run Auto Memory (modifies when Android's built in system will shut things down), and under Wireless & Networks, I have Enable always-on mobile flipped off.

Make of it what you will.
[EVO 4G General] twe90kid:
that's the key point. but, afteer running setcpu and tweaks, I can have GPS on, 3G on, Bluetooth ON, Gmail syncing on auto, facebook on auto, and weather on auto. with all those on, i'm getting the same battery life as your graph. now what can we say? :D
[EVO 4G General] thecrackbaby:
That will make your battery last longer but at that point you might as well get a regular phone... The reason you get this wonderful device is to be connected and play, not to not sync and leave the screen off all the time
[EVO 4G General] twe90kid:
i hope your talking about

BobFromAccounting
[EVO 4G General] BobFromAccounting:
GPS drains very little if it isn't being called upon. Same as Bluetooth. As I said, I am running a syncing weather/news app, and Facebook is a waste of time in my eyes.

And that drop was from an overnight run when you wouldn't be using the phone because you're sleeping.

Oh, and look at the Device Usage graphs between the two charts (first post). Same. Because the phones were off in both cases. Mine just 'rests' lower as you can see from the CPU graphs. Either that or it's about the same once you factor in the lower CPU sped verses mine.

My point is that you don't have to go root and run an underclocking utility to get great battery life. You just have to not go overboard with apps running all the time in the background.
