[HD2 General] stephancai:
I know that there are two version for HD2:T version and htc version.The T version's RAM and ROM is larger than the htc's.But I wonder why the T version's price is cheaper than the htc's.And some people told me that the T version is unstable and can't install some ROM.(By the way,I'm from China.If I buy the HD2,I need brushing machine.)

I'm hesitated for a long time:which version should I buy?

So,what's your guys' opinion?
[HD2 General] polo735:
The t-mobile version is cheaper because t-mobile lowers the price for starting a 2 year service contract. The import (I'm in the US) version is purchased without a contract and is therefore unsubsidized. From what I've gathered the two variations are nearly identical in performance, build quality etc.
[HD2 General] stephancai:
Thanks!This is my first oversea thread and I'm so glad that you give me a reply!
[HD2 General] yeoldgreat1:
I thought that the T-Mobile HD2 was the one sold in the US and the other HD2 is the one sold in the rest of the world. Correct me if I'm wrong but they are pretty much the same except slight size and memory changes.
[HD2 General] rexzooly:
T-Mobile is just the branding nothing more nothing less maybe the SD card is diff but I have the T-Mobile UK version there no different then any other HD2
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
The UK one is the same as everyone's except the T-Mobile US model.

The US T-Mobile HD2 has a similar spec to the rest of the world, except it has a larger on-board memory (1Gb I believe) and an 'unlocked' larger RAM.
[HD2 General] rexzooly:
Well FFFFFFFFF to them lol
[HD2 General] :
Actually that is not entirely accurate , the TMOUS has a different radio, as do some of the EU models , for instance if you want to use one on AT&T 3G in the states, you need the telstra model from OZ, as it supports the WCDMA 850 band , the US(TMO) version only supports 1700/2100 WCDMA for 3G.

Most all will work on all Providers , using standard GSM/EDGE freqs but not on 3G.

EDIT:

It seems though AT&T is cracking down on NON-AT&T devices though ....
[HD2 General] rexzooly:
Thanks for the details :) maybe I should get my hands on a US one for a hands on check :)

do you think t-mobile will run out of the vibrant on launch day? the reason i'm asking is that i don't get off work til late afternoon and i hope they don't sell out.
[Vibrant General] fisal:
you will get one tomorrow , there aren't many people mind vibrant

I figure out today I was the first & last customer for two weeks ago who pre-orderd this phone at Radio Shack(Boston-downtown) :D
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
At my store we got a pretty good supply of them, unlike the HD2. Its doubtful it will sell out but you could call your local store and see if they are willing to hold one for you till end of day.
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
I called my local T-Mobile Store yesterday, and they are holding a Vibrant for me til the end of the day, and they only got 4 in
[Vibrant General] BlackAccord:
call around, my store is getting 30 and we are a low to mid volume store
[Vibrant General] Supermighty:
I talked to a clerk and she said they were getting 15. Which she considered a lot. Said they only got 5 HD2 when it was released.

Still I'm not taking chances and will be at the store before it opens. :D
[Vibrant General] Perrosky:
I'm with you, I know that it's not like the iphone that people get crazy and stuff but I'll be there before they open just in case :D
[Vibrant General] chaoscentral:
I'll be heading out in about 10-15 minutes to go procure my vibrant. gonna show up a couple minutes early. I thought the HD2 launch was gonna be slow, and I was wrong on that, I showed up 10 minutes early then and there was already like 8 people waiting
[Vibrant General] Flak_Munky:
I just called the one near me, he said they got about 60 of them. No need to try to have them hold one.

Gonna pick it up after work. New Android phone to play with! Yay!
[Vibrant General] kizer:
Sadly I'm out of town and I'm not able to go roaming around for a T-mobile store so I ordered mine via CC service. They didn't seem to think there would be any shortages any time soon. I would be worried that they would run out of those screens since others like the Evo have been having issues. ;)

When I get home mine should be waiting for me.
[Vibrant General] Supermighty:
I was the only customer waiting at my store when I picked up my Vibrant. I was thankful I didn't have to wait in a line, but part of me hopes that popularity of the Vibrant grows. I'd like the largest dev community on the TMobile version of the Galaxy S.
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
The change in release date a week out might of changed initial demands?

I think Samsung has a LOT of the devices around though to be honest, and if a store ran out, tmobile will still have them in stock at a warehouse and be in stock within a day or two.
[Vibrant General] Supermighty:
True. The first clerk I spoke with at our downtown store thought the date was the 21st.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
when i picked up my vibrant today, there were a few people purchasing it, however the clerk said that the mytouch slide had a line thouroughout the day on it's release date. i guess the reason being is that t-mobile advertised the **** out of the mytouch. even in the store all you see is the mytouch all ove the place. i guess if t-mobile advertised this phone as much as the mytouch slide then more people would've been there purchasing the phone.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
I've read around somewhere that Samsung is going to be doing the advertising more than the carriers. I haven't seen any on TV or online, so I'm not sure if Samsung is going to start it any time soon.
[Vibrant General] kugeln:
I walked into the T-Mobile corp. store here in town around 11 CST. There were exactly one customer per sales rep, and the only other person in there looking for the vibrant was another guy from my job.

They had not even opened the shipping case of Vibrants until he arrived there. No displays, they had a demo unit, but it was locked in the drawer under one of the cash registers. They didn't even know if they were supposed to be selling them today.

I couldn't believe the total lack of advertising they had up--I'm talking none at all. Their "showcase" device was still the MTS. Go figure.

I rooted my X10 several time but i realize that the FW after rooted is not a clean one.

I've seen some screenshots of people having really big picture widgets on their screens, taking up 4x4 spaces.

I know that you can do that with ADW (resizing widgets) however I tried that and it looked like blurry, pixelated crap.

Perhaps I just used too small of an image? Or is there some mysterious larger picture widget I can't find in the market? I'm not a fan of ADW Launcher, so tips are welcome.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JadedTech:
Got tired of all the CM updates, each one breaking something different than the previous.

I'm sure at some point I'll do another modded ROM but I really do need something that is _reasonably_ stable.

Sure there'll be those who say "I've never had a problem"....good for you! I have followed many advice methods from many people. Hell, there have been some who have taken a bit of a written beating from my vents of frustration, and they still talk to me :) True dedication. On the flip side, if you ask a complete and intelligent question on Cyanogen's IRC channel, you'll get ignored, despite his wiki saying go there as one of the steps before reporting a problem (Hey Cyanogen, I'd like to report that the IRC channel is broken for anyone looking for help....:/ )

Been through the ringer with CMs and kinda sore over it. Will check other ROMs down the line because I've exhausted enough energy with this one.

Thanks for all your guys help. There are a few saints amung the 'uber coders' :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend221:
We all owe Cyanogen a debt of gratitude for his work and how it has inspired others.

However, not all roms are created equal and of course a Full wipe before flashing any type of NEW rom onto your device is the key to success.

Super D is definitely where its at if you want the best of everything the HTC Dream/G1 has to offer, see my signature for the correct version.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
Super D really was one of the fastest roms for me, but may I ask why you recommend 1.9.3 over 1.11?

OP, your sig says that you are running firmware 2.2. There is no stable 2.2 rom out there (CM6 is still in release candidate status...). If you want to use CM, stick with 5.0.8 it has less bugs.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aznneedlovetoo:
To be honest I respect Cyanogen for all their hard work, But Ive always

found their roms to be slow as heck.

You should try Htcclays Donut superbad. Fastest and most stablest rom ever!

Yes better than SuperD.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend221:
In regards to the best battery life, stability and FC free user experience Super D v 1.9.3. is simply the best in xda or any other website.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend221:
Its up to the interpretation of the user if one Rom is better than the other. Ive flashed them all and the Rom in my sig is most definitety the best Donut of them all. Why have hamburger when you can have steak?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoomBoomPOW:
Because it's so juicy...

​
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
I agree I've never liked cyanogen's ROMs. However, they are better than stock. He's also a damn good dev and most other ROMs have some bits from his work in there. Super E latest is what I'm on now. It's a piece of work, and the most stable Eclair I've found. However, if you want a pretty much guaranteed stable ROM, always go Donut. I like the features in Eclair, but nothing will compare to Donut on these devices in terms of speed and stability. That's just my opinion, though.

[XPERIA X10 General] SysGhost:
EDIT: Problem fixed, factory reset and reinstalling helped, see my next post further down.

Now testing Juice defender to see if it really improves things considering I am already managing phone features on my own. See post on next page.

Just like title mentions:

Juice defender drains my battery and overheats the phone.

This is what I did:

I downloaded and installed juice defender from the market.

I took a look in the program, it asked asked something about autodetecting the phone. I let it perform the autodetection.

Once in the program i took a fast glance ofer the settings (didn't touch anything or change anything after autodetection)

I thought that I'd deal with it later and then I put the phone aside.

A few minutes later, the phone beeps. So I pick it up to see what it "beeps" about.

A warning message that the temperature have risen over 50 degree Celsius (122 Farenheit)

The phone was HOT!

Also I've found the battery have drained over 25% during these few minutes I left it alone since Juice defender got installed.

Suddenly the phone reboots without any whatsoever reason, just straight into the boot screen.

From here on it all starts over again:

Phone overheats (as it is already hot), warning message about temperature, battery keeps draining FAST.

I check the SetCPU application and see that the CPU constantly at it's full speed.

SetCPU are set on "On demand".

I took the conclusion something are working hard and are loading the cpu to it's full capacity.

I shut down the phone, pulls the battery, let it cooldown for 30 minutes.

Once the phone is cool again I replug the battery, boots up the phone.

Now back into standby mode, the phone slowly gets warmer, the battery are almost empty and keeps draining fast.

Soon the battery are out of juice and the phone shuts off. The phone got hot during those few minutes.

Now I put the charger in, boot the phone up and the first thing I do is uninstall juice defender, reboot the phone to make sure it's not left in memory.

Now the phone are back to it's normal behavior, SetCPU reports low speed, still set on "On demand".

It charges normally and the phone keeps cool, even after 20 minutes.

Conclusion: Once I install Juice defender and let it "autodetect" it start loading the CPU to 100% and drains the battery without any message or whatsoever.

Killing juice defender itself does not help, draining and overheating keeps happening.

Uninstall and reboot got rid of the problem.

As of now, I will NOT use juice defender at all. Won't even touch it.

Maybe I don't have to. The R2BA023 firmware is good enough as it is.

Any ideas what's wrong here?

Phone: Sony Ericsson X10i

Baseband: 1.1.27

Firmware: R2BA023 (Rooted)
[XPERIA X10 General] Martin5000:
Same config, no problem.

I've also got an X10i with a rooted R2BA023 (or whatever it's called). I use Juice Defender with none of your described problems. I only charge my phone every other or third day. Have you tried reinstalling? I'm thinking that it could have been something that went wrong during the installation.
[XPERIA X10 General] james_lau80:
i've got unrooted X10i R2BA024 with juicedefender installed, but those issues didnt occur
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:

Did you turn everything off? :D:D

mine is rooted 023 with juicedefender, and I get x1.91

no heating issues though....

[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
as you can see no... i dont know what happened at that time it showed 4.99 lol after that with time it decreased to 1.7 might be a bug... thought it was good one to test shoot me so took a snap.. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] SysGhost:
You gave me an idea there, and helped me solve my problem.

Reinstalling Juice defender did not help. However, factory reset and reinstall did help.

Not sure what could have caused this, but something odd was in the way, and that "odd" whatever it was, went away with a factory reset.

Also a few other minor "jerks" vanished with the factory reset.

I would suggest anyone who have rooted the X10 according to the instructions found here at xda-developer, also perform a factory reset afterwards, if there are strange problems:

Jerky and/or laggy screen.

Applications suddenly closing without any messages.

Phone suddenly locks the SIM card in middle of anything, where you have to unlock it again with the pin code.

Phone completely freezes up for a minute or two, only to recover afterwards, as nothing happened.

Screen unlocking itself without anyone or anything touching it, or anything connected.

I also had to repeat Step3 according to the rooting instructions, where superuser.apk and some other nice applications gets installed after the factory reset.

Once this was done I resynced the phone to get my contacts back, then straight on to Juice defender.

Juice defender now works (I think).

What's left to do now is to play around with the settings and reinstall some other applications. I will also avoid using the last set of Titanium backups I have, due to the risk of the "problem" coming back.
[XPERIA X10 General] sim-value:
Mayve the problem is caused by JD + SetCPU?
[XPERIA X10 General] Ungruntled:
I use JuiceDefender and SetCPU together and they work fine for me. When the phone is idle, i.e. REALLY idle - no bluetooth, wifi off, APN off, no apps running other than SetCPU, JD and a few ignored ones - there are times when the battery drain is practically 0% over an hour. According to the JuicePlotter chart, anyway.
[XPERIA X10 General] SysGhost:
Next report:

So far, so good, Everything seems to be working, and no, the combination JD and SetCPU are not the cause of the problem.

I have both installed and both are playing nicely together, no fights in the sandbox so far. Maybe I don't need both?

I do however believe that Juice defender is a bit overrated (but not much).

I usually keep my wlan, bluetooth etc. turned off when I don't use em.

Juice-defender just makes this semi-automatic. So for me, who are already keeping my "bells and whistles" at a minimum, juice defender doesn't help that much.

The R2BA023 firmware/ROM/patch (or what it's called) does improve the power consumption ALOT by itself, and together with SetCPU and my manually handling of the phones features when I need em, maybe makes Juice Defender superfluous in my case.

I will now first let Juice Defender log my everyday usage without it being active (just logging).

After a few days from here on, I try with Juice defender "activated" and see if it improves anything in my case.

I'll be back...
[XPERIA X10 General] SpikeNaples:
I have Juice Defender Ultimate (purchased) and I have not had any problems with it ever since.

I'm currently testing it with my newly installed CM7-ZMOD CYANOGENMOD 7.

Hope I don't get anything bad from this. I don't even know if having Juice Defender is recommendd with mods as I am new to modding, rooting and flashing.

I have a noobe question, would it be a good idea to try to Deodex the /system/app folder & /system/Framework, Or would this be useless? And if it is, what, if anything, would this accomplish. What would it do to the "ROM"s.

I have noticed that some of the "ROM"s have Odex in place and some that don't. just not sure what the difference it makes.

I remember that when I had my Behold 2, Eugene had said something about not being able to Deodex the Frameworks because it would error out in the process using either using baksmali/smali or eclipse.

Guide

Yesterday I first successfully flashed G5 firmware + root. Later I unsuccessfully tried to make the lag fix for memory card. After that I recovered back up using Back UP Pro and restarted. Got a bunch of FC, so decided to reflash.

During the flash on first step odin crashed (just a nondescript message with attention sign and path to Odin) + second error right after first one, only with some strange symbals-hieroglyphs after the path to odin).

Edit - pics:

and

After that nothing is happening in odin and everything is grayed out. Error can be different (that was just my error), but the point is that phone is bricked (does not turn on). Causes can vary from you disconecting device during flash, computer crashing, ODIN crashing (my case), alien abductions and other very possible reasons =)

After that I always got the same problem - either stuck on reading file (or what is the first step analyses, etc) or crashes (mostly now).

Phone is bricked - I can either go to download screen, or some screen with phone and computer icons connected by dotted line with attention icon - screenshot, thanks to m3keni.

I looked at "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" (thanks goes to blackerwater) advice and several recovery advices (up + menu + power; down + power; laptop does not recognize apd device).
