[EVO 4G General] syypher:
I didn't read the entire thread but just thought this might help. My phone was dieing almost every 6 hours or earlier... After I got the updates for my phone, didn't at first because I was scared of them messing it up, but after I did I last about 9-10 hours with moderate to heavy use.

Here are some things I do: Browsing, push email, Facebook Stream, play games, listen to music and occasionally RDP into computers

I've been using my phone for all of that today and I am at 74%. (Got an app that tells me battery life and %)

Ofcourse this is with only mobile on. No GPS, 4G, WiFi or other stuff to eat my batter. I also have Advanced Task Killer to auto kill tasks every 10 minutes. I'm not exaggerating but I was ready to buy a new battery and give up on the stock battery also but after the update...not anymore!
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Leaving Wifi on when in range of a wifi spot actually saves you battery over 3G.
[EVO 4G General] rockethot:
Sorry for the question, still a newbie, but once I flash the rom on there the kernel will also be on there as well right? Nothing else I have to do to make sure the kernel is running?
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
Yeah Baked Snack already has the kernel so you don't have to flash anything else.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
You may be in a marginal signal area. What is your db? Check outside and inside buildings where you spend a lot of time. My guess is you are in the 90 ish range and that will force the radio to use significantly more power. If you are any worse db wise you will stay pinging roaming towers and that is death for any phones battery.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] the_grobe:
I wanted to get rid of all the ugly live wallpaper that comes with the phone. Any idea on how to do this? I guess I just don't know where to look. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] yojoe600:
menu>wallpaper then choose something else
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] the_grobe:
that's really not what I meant. I want to remove it entirely. No sense having a bunch of stuff that I'll never use taking up space.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bcgaynor82:
While in adb shell in recovery, do

ls /system/app

Look for anything with "LiveWallpaper" in the name. You'll want to either rename or move any of those files to some other folder (I'd strongly suggest not actually removing them).

For example, you might have a command like

/system/bin/mv /system/app/HtcLiveWallpapers.* /sdcard/appbackups/

or something along those lines (your mileage may vary)

As with anything on these boards, I am in no way responsible for any damage you might do to your phone. But if you are careful this is a pretty simple and harmless operation.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IeU:
Can some one pleas explain me what

exactly

these options do ?

- wipe data/ factory reset

- wipe cache partition

- nandroid

Thanks !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjehsus:
Exactly what they say they do.. Nandroid backs up and restores your data/system/ext partitions
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IeU:
Does the wipe data delete everything on SD card and what about the space on the intern memory ??

Music, settings, photos, apps ? Everything gets wiped . . . ?

and what is saved in "partition cache", why would i want to wipe it ?

Why would i want to backup my partitions table ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
factory reset deletes all data on ur fone and restores it to its factory settings (this does nothing to ur sd card)

the cache holds program install data and other temp data

nandroid is a way to back up and restore your ext partition data :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pindemon:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin_216:
Factory reset also wipes the sd-ext partition if you have it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jonjon88:
Hi everybody,

I got a big problem: everytime I go on contacts I got the message "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" and the contacts app just close.

I also got some problems with com.google.process.gapps

Let me give you all the details:

I rooted my Motorola Milestone a few days ago and then put the 2.1 update from Moto.

I'm pretty sure I got problems after uninstalling some stuff with Titanium Backup.

I have also made some modifications to change the bootup animation with Android Mate but I don't think it has anything to do.

I uninstalled Motonav, Car Home, Corporate directory, corporate calendar and other stuff I thought it will be harmless but I cant remember of everything right now (looks like I was wrong).

So I had the first message with gmail so I decided to wipe the cache of gmail with Titanium backup, and then I noticed I couldnt access to my contacts.

I tried severals reboots, then I tried to re-update the rom. Still not working so I operate a master reboot/factory reset. And guess what? Everything is gone but I still go my error messages...

I tried another factory reset from the recovery menu but nothin...

Someone got a suggestion ? I'm pretty desperate and I would be really thankfull for any help...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jonjon88:
Ok Guys I finally find a way!

I found some clean roms there:

http: //and-developers.com/motorola_milestone:sbf#milestone_a853_xt702 (not allowed to post links so I put a space after http:/ )

And flashed my Milestone with the 2.0 in French version with RSDLite 4.6, and now everything is working fine!

The only thing is that for some weird reasons this rom doesnt allow me to autoupdate to 2.1 :p. So I guess I got to re-flash with the 2.1 one (I'm takin the service version)...

Anyway thank you for reading I hope this thread will help some lost googlers who got the same kind of problem.

BTW if anyone know what was the cause(s) of my problem please tell me!!!

Peace out.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Eggos:
com.google.process.gapps is used for communicating with the Google services, such as gmail, the market and therefore your synced contacts.

android.process.acore (If I'm not mistaken) is used to assist in launching and controlling applications and controlling overhead.

What likely happened is when you were removing stuff, you either

A) Removed something you shouldn't have leaving gaps or

B) Didn't remove all of the traces of the app, thus when a program that uses it tried to launch it, it couldn't find it and errored. This is like the case with acore.

Changing a bootanimation really doesn't touch anything else.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jonjon88:
Ok so what is the best way to remove stuff so I will not let any traces of it after? And is it possible to find a list of stuff you can remove somewhere (like vocal recognition or motonav)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dressanderc:
I'm glad to announce that come this Sunday when the Captivate drops on AT&T I will be done with windows mobile 6.XX for good. Being able to test out the Android OS on my Tilt 2 put the dagger in the heart of Windows Mobile for me. I was skeptical at first, but now I believe that the Android OS is far superior compared to any other mobile OS. I'm sure the developers are working hard on a 100% port, but I'm tossing the Tilt 2, all thanks to a tease. Anyone else in the same boat I am?

EDIT*----

Well, crap, I didn't even see the "Goodbye Rhodium" thread. My bad.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gface2k:
Hells yeah, unfortunately I'm on the sprint network so I have to wait a little bit more. The only reason I wanted to make android work on the TP2 was the size of the phone (I think the Evo is just a little to big for my taste) and the physical keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dboogie2288:
Dont feel bad. There are many in your boat. I was pretty skeptical of android myself, but I've also been pretty attached to google for a few years now. It just made sense really. Winmo just isnt getting the support they need to make their product better it seems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] uncleswoop:
I was thinking the same thing as well, until i realized that even if we could use the camera, bluetooth, wifi and sound on the with android... it's just not that great.

I get all the options of android, plus the support and compatibility of windows.

mobileshell and mobilesense allowed me to completely drop the android os.

i dunno, i just hate to see people let go of their rhodiums. best damn phone Ive ever had and guarentee it will be for years to come.

enjoy android. sorry to see another winmo go...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sebbo90:
I have agree even though I have moved on from the touch pro 2 the actual phone was amazing I was just gutted it was on windows mobile 6.5 which in my view didn't take advantage of the phone. I wish htc had released an android version of the tp2 rather than just making touch phones this year
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Using the newest Cyanogenmod nightly and loving it. Only issue for me is LED not working. I would like old style a2sd and was wondering if any of you experts could make it possible? I see a few people writing a2sd scripts for different roms.

Is it at all possible? I know it is planned for CMOD 6.1 but i'm impatient. :)

EDIT: Oh and i tried the one made for DJ Droid but that was obviously a bad idea lol. Did NOT work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbrf4:
Has anybody else had issues dealing with HTC support and been able to get any decent resolution?

I have been waiting for over 3 weeks since originally logging a support request on June 21 for my Google Nexus One to undergo a warranty repair because it would not power on, nor would it charge the battery.

I had shipped the phone June 23, and it had arrived at the Markham, Ontario facility on June 24.

On July 3, I had received a notification that it had finally arrived at the Houston, TX facility with the following status:

Status:	We have received your phone at HTC service center.

Service Type:	Repair

Issue Description:	power button is not working

It is now July 14, and there has been no change to status at all. This is well over 25 days from original shipment, when I was assured by HTC that it would only require 7 days to repair and return the phone.

I have made more phone calls to the support line than I feel should be necessary, and I have received the following excuses from HTC staff:

- Markham only ships twice weekly to Houston

- It's in the repair centre, so it will only be 2-3 days longer

- The Houston facility has relocated to a larger facility, so expect a 2 day delay

- There's nothing we can do but escalate your ticket, the repair facility and call centres are 1000 miles away. We just can't walk over and get an update.

On two occasions I have asked for escalation, and for a phone call to let me know when I can expect my phone to be returned in working order. The first time was 2 weeks ago, and more recently on Friday I had requested a re-escalation.

To date I have not received a phone call apprising me of the status of my repair. I have little confidence in the support processes that HTC has put in place to have my warranty repair completed in a timely manner.

This has been a very trying experience for me at a huge inconvenience in that I have no phone to conduct my daily business and the fact that I have to constantly call HTC support center to request updates and resolution to my incident.

In short, I feel that HTC support staff have not been forthcoming, and in general, their attitude, including the supervisors, is "Nothing we can do for you, we don't care and we'll say anything to get you off the phone."

I am at the point now that I feel that I must give up on HTC and go to a competitor, and also at the point where I feel I would recommend my colleagues also do the same. I feel that I have been more than reasonable in my expectations for resolution and I consider HTC to have completely failed to address any of my concerns.

Any feedback from forum members is greatly appreciated,

cbrf4
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
I live in GA. I have had only one experience with HTC customer service. I called about my battery and explained that it was draining very quickly. The representative I spoke sent a new battery to me overnight at no charge. They told me to keep the battery I had.

I think that customer service experiences vary and I don't know what makes this so but in my experience the service has been excellent.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KidTech:
You should ask since its been 3 weeks, to send you a new one or have it replaced. I heard HTC supports been pretty good, from what i've read on this forum. They usually send phones out the next day when their doing a warranty replacement.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunerclaps:
You should consider escalating your issue to higher-ups instead of talking to the phone reps. They will robotically feed you any line just to get you off the phone and move on to the next customer. Talk to a supervisor and make some demands. You are thier customer. Let them know that you are not happy.

It worked for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
I'm really sorry about your experience, OP, and if I were you, I'd probably be at least as upset as you are, if not spitting, screaming mad.

Everyone has bad experiences with every company sometimes. This doesn't mean HTC is a bad company. Google has pissed me off to no end a few times, but I still <3 them.

People get pissed at me all day long at work, but we're still amongst the best in the industry we're in.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
I've had good phone support experience with HTC. If I don't like a rep's answer & knowlege, then I would exculate to another.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingww:
I called for a replacement on 7/7, and they still haven't ship the replacement as of today. The return label is going to expire tomorrow...

sigh
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
Man, I really feel for you. Compared to your case, mine has been flawless and even I was extremely frustrated at the beginning.

I had issues with shipping the product there. They gave me a pre-paid shipping label paid by an account that Fedex claims was frauded and closed. My package spent 1.5 days extra in Montreal until I found out, but HTC was glad to call and give them another account number.

From that time on, the service has been FLAWLESS. The phone was received Friday at noon EST in Markham, Ontario. By MONDAY noon, it was in Texas :eek:

I mean, international shipping thousands of miles away in 1 day? And from Friday to Monday? To me that's absolutely fantastic.

I had read your thread and I was beginning to get nervous about the move affecting my repair, but as it turns out, the phone was put into repair today (Thursday), only 3 days after it arrived in Texas. The rep I spoke to on Monday told me that they run through a lot of testing, so the time frame means that they were well on schedule.

My phone is unlocked + rooted and has a custom recovery on it. The repair is being done free of charge! :D

The phone is currently running through its final rigorous testing phase and it should be shipped out tomorrow. Who knows, maybe I'll get it tomorrow evening!

The customer service reps have also been VERY helpful. They track everything. They know where the phone is and in what stage of the testing/repair its in. The guy I just spoke with who told me they're done the repair just took a few minutes to discuss HTC's repair policy with me and how they understand that this is a Google gadget and that people buy it ESPECIALLY to root it and have fun. He was even talking to me about the Droid X and how apparently they've put on a chip that will BRICK the phone if it's rooted (can't confirm/deny this).

I'd give the overall experience an 8.5/10 which would've been a 9.5/10 if they hadn't shipped me a pre-paid label with a closed account.
[Captivate General] LGSilva:
Hello, right now I have an iPhone 3GS with the unlimited data plan (yay for old contract!!) and Sunday I'm going to get the Captivate.

Does anyone know if I will be able to keep my unlimited data plan? I'm sure when I swap the SIM car their system will recognize that it's not an iPhone.

My wife have unlimited family data on her Nokia E71. I wonder if I give her the iPhone they could just swap the plans...
[Captivate General] iLoki:
You will be able to keep your unlimited data. I'm doing the same thing and I made the point to ask an ATT rep if I can keep my unlimited data. She said all previous unlimited data contracts have the option to keep it when renewing.

PS -- Yay for ditching iPhones for Android! ;D
[Captivate General] LGSilva:
Thanks for the reply. I saw the BB thread about the same thing and yes, I will be able to keep my unlimited data plan.

P.S.: Ditching the iPhone for the 2nd time: iPhone -> G1 -> iPhone 3GS -> Samsung Captivate (soon!)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikronix:
Im not a developer but, isnt all thats needed to make an aosp rom was the kernal source which we now have. yea i know there are some roms on the horizon but im just surprised we havnt seen a true aosp yet.

Or am i missing a peice of the bigger picture.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
youre missing a piece of the bigger picture. roms have to be developed and tested. source doesn't mean the rom is already ready to go for every single phone. you have to build the rom from source, this is not something that is done instantly, the same reason you have to wait for htc and sprint to release roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
Wrong forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikronix:
I dont understand how this is in the wrong forum...its a developement question. Why dont you contribute something helpful instead of trying to be a moderator by proxy. You know like directing me to the proper forum?

anyway

no i understand that portion of that. but I thought that it was easier to build the aosp roms then those with sense crap...when we got hero source there were aosp roms the next day.

Reason why I ask is because I am looking into cooking my own rom...and was basically wondering. as it sits now.is everything availaible to us to make a true aosp rom.

or are we still waiting on some htc bs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
surprisingly, i haven't been too impatient for an AOSP rom. The only reason i want one is for minimum bloatware and Wiimote gaming. And ofcourse, overall performance.

The ROMs that are out right now aren't too shabby, helping me cope with the delays for AOSP :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsallsubliminal:
how so? This is an android development question.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
it's the wrong forum BECAUSE it's a question. development forum is for posting up radios, ROMs, kernels, and dinking around solutions. it is not for question threads

wasn't darchstar donated an evo so he could get this working?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikronix:
I guess im not the only user that thinks this is in correct because in the first page there is at least 2 posts that are in par with my type of "question" posts as you put it

and ive counted at least seven more.

So im pretty sure this actually is the "right" forum and if its not im sure a mod will move it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
This is correct +1 and as far the OP question goes, it looks like Cyanogen Mod 6 will be the first true AOSP.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kykiskly:
I think you need to rephrase your words and not say "wrong forum", certainly it is not the wrong forum, but the wrong section. I believe this question belongs to the General section.

Here is a link of an AOSP ROM everyone here is expecting soon.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikronix:
i know his rom is comming out. I was more inclined of asking why there hasnt been one yet. i got that question answered

but my second question (which wasnt answered) was

do we have everything we need or are we waiting on some htc nonsense because im looking at cookin my own rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
We have everything we need. However it takes some pretty impressive coding to make everything work. Dual cameras and WiMax are new to everyone. This is the only Android phone that has them, especially WiMax. The fact that Cyan got the cams working just proves his coding prowess.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firemedic1343:
Sweet, my guess was that this belonged here, I reserved comments because I don't want to pretend like I'd be a good mod :)

Anywho, I am people other that myself are asking this question, I guess there are a ton of us eagerly awaiting an AOSP rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zonyl:
Here is my take on this:

The stock Android Source code does not have access to some of the hardware on the phone. Yes we haver kernel source, however, the stock Android software for 2.1 doesnt have:

1. Two Cameras

2. Wimax

3. HDMI

4. Kickstand notification? ;)

You either have to run HTC's Sense or use a Froyo with some custom Android Apps (What Cyanogen is writing)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firemedic1343:

[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
Look at this:

http://reviews.cnet.com/2722-6452_7-689.html

In that comparison, the same people slammed the EVO on call quality\general performance, giving it the same scores they gave the iPhone 4. In this case, they say the EVO's battery life is just as much of an issue as the iPhone4's antenna issue, as that is the reason they gave it low scores.

If they stayed consistent, the iPhone 4 would have won. I think they wanted the EVO to beat the iPhone 4. In my mind, it does. But I think CNET might be confused... :p
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
That review is written before the latest OTA, the prize fight is after. For a lot of people the OTA solved the battery issues. Me I was able to figure out which programs kept my evo awake before the OTA. The OTA just helped even more.
[EVO 4G General] Squirrelmayo:
That other comparison was probably done before the radio updates and all of the various ota pushes that sprint had.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
Unless you mean directly to the phone, any iDevice can do that too. Dl on computer, drag to iTunes, sync.
