[Vibrant General] blackerwater:
I'm not a huge fan of twiz either just saying he could do anything he wants
[Vibrant General] zimphishmonger:
I actually like certain aspects of TouchWiz, mainly the ease of access to BT, WiFi, etc from the notification bar, but CM releases have always stayed away from any sort of manufacturer-developed modifications to Android like Sense, TouchWIz, Blur, etc. There are always ported builds using those UI's available and Im sure they will be eventually for the vibrant, but first we need a stock AOSP-based build.
[Vibrant General] blackerwater:
The settings in the notification bar are awesome . If cm did use anything I hope its that.
[Vibrant General] mattseg:
Cyanogen & Crew do like borrowing bits and pieces, so the setting in the notification bar could wind up on a release eventually. But TW will most certainly be out. Thankfully.
[Vibrant General] speedysilwady:
i hope we get settings in the notification bar at least, especially the slide to adjust brightness, it's pure genius!
[Vibrant General] rpcameron:
CM will not include TouchWiz because it is not open source software. The only part that Samsung has open sourced is the kernel, not any part of Android. They've provided the bits to allow other builds of Android to run on their phones (mostly), but not their version of Android.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samjpullen:
Howdy...

What's everyones Desire's temp via SetCPU :)..

Only asking as i have been using DeFrost for a little while and it was always around 30-ish but never a lot higher.

I then tried the CM RC1 and it was up at 39.3... the phone felt rather warm/hot as well and i was getting a little worried...

So i went back to my DeFrost rom...

Anyone know a reason for this ?...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
I've seen mine vary from 30 degrees to about 38 degrees depending upon use. Right now it's 34 degrees which is about where it normally sits.
[Captivate General] darth_vato:
Does it really matter what brand I choose? I'm looking at Kingston and SanDisk right now. Anything I should know?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate General] opiespank:
Personally I would try and get the fastest that you can find. I got a 8g Class 6 from newegg for 20 bucks coming.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
darth, it doesnt matter. get class 4 and up just in case but in reality the data cap is not from the card its gonna be from the phone side of things. Thats the way it is for most mobile phones.
[Captivate General] darth_vato:
I went ahead and got this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134717
[Captivate General] konawayne:
I always use my bluetooth headset when talking to family and friends(due to the length of time, hate holding phone). Since, I switched from my nexus one people have griped about the interference/noise they hear when I'm on my bluetooth headset. It is not my BT headset as I've tried a few(motorola S305, and two smaller bluetooth earpieces), all of which exhibit the noise. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem ? :confused:

Running the Galaxy S I9000 ROM rooted.
[Captivate General] macstibs:
Everyone complains about hearing me whenever I try to use a headset. Seems like the stack sucks or the radio is terrible.
[Captivate General] anosis:
Got the same problem. My bluetooth calls are loud and clear on my side, but everyone on the other side complains about static noice and I sound very distant.

I tried the original ATT rom (stock unrooted) and the most current 2.1 that is available for download. No difference.

Any ideas what to try to remedy this?
[Captivate General] wpb2:
I haven't noticed anything like this on my Motorola S9-HD headset.

I have noticed sometimes it will cut the music every once in a while, whereas my iPhone never did.
[Captivate General] jhernand1102:


This is a known issue with the I9000 ROM... Bluetooth doesn't work well for some...
[Captivate General] macstibs:
I'm running the stock rom... is that the I9000 rom?
[Captivate General] oswade:
None of my friends have mentioned such a problem when i've called them, although I've only made bluetooth calls a couple of times (including on the bus and at home).

Using after-market Nokia BH-503s.
[Captivate General] rob989_69:
I'm definately seeing the same problem on the stock rom. Not as bad as athe I9000 ROM but still bad enough for them to complain. Seems like it's made worse by the different roms/kernels we've been flashing but there's definately a problem.
[Captivate General] wildkarrde21:
I'm seeing similar symptoms, except my music cuts out every 30 seconds or so. My setup is a Kensington iPhone adapter connected through aux input in my car with an Anycom FIPO on the iPhone adapter (it converts the iPhone/iPod adapter into a bluetooth receiver). I then stream from my Captivate to the adapter and it works fine except that it cuts out every 30 seconds. Did you ever figure out how to fix it?

UPDATE: Just wanted to add that I figured out what was causing my problem: having Wifi turned on. Once I turned it off, my bluetooth streaming worked beautifully, with no hiccups.
[Captivate General] macstibs:
Still have a problem with this. Stopped using my BT headset completely... sucks having this thing stuck to my head for calls.
[Captivate General] gary_lankford:
I have encountered several problems:

Party can not hear me at all; though I can hear fine.

Party hears tinny sound to my voice.

Headset disconnects while playing music.

Using a Motorokr S9-HD. Works fine with Samsung A-737.
[Captivate General] klloyd:
I too have the static problem. This phone sounds wonderful on my end, but everyone complains that that can't hear me! This is so far the only complaint I have.... I hope someone will have a fix, or come up with something.
[Captivate General] monkas:
I have this problem too ! :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Hi all,

Im using Froyo on my Kaiser, ive tried using the different panels.

I have been using Myns Warm Donut with panel 3 and it was ok, but not using Froyo its playing up.

Using Froyo, when I slide my keyboard out it rotates right 90 degrees correctly, but when i slide it back in, it rotates it 180 degrees?

Help? lol

Thanks,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] akmalxxx:
try disable auto-rotate in settings-> display
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] XCougar:
Yes that worked thanks very much.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Siddhartha Valmont:
Thanks akmalxxx for the tip :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Sometimes someone asks a question like this, I often wonder if it would not just be simpler to unset that option in build, rather than relying on the user to know how to do this in advance, ( don't even know if it's possible ?).

Yes a lot of us 'old hands' do this almost automatically after installing a build, along with other settings we have come to prefer.

But the screen orientation one really catches a lot of newer users out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FenderGuy:
This morning I was watching youtube and had the phone on wifi, router is in my room and the phone would still have issues trying to play vidoes? It acted as if the signal was weak. I guess I feel asleep and woke up the phone being hot? I tried to restart the phone since it froze up...took the battery out when the reset did not work and the phone did not want to start up...tried to plug it in no light...took everything out sim card, sd card and battery and let the phone set for a little bit...turned on after 20 minutes....now the phone has been doing that all day...I'm so annoyed with it...what do you think, it could be?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daugusta12:
I have tried the RUU for the recent OTA update and the previous firmware, both gave me errors at one point during the process that i could not figure out how to fix, error 170 (i fixed with the drivers) then 171 witch i could not get around. I have also tried putting the recent OTA firmware on using the pc36IMG firmware, but for some reason my Evo will no longer check for that file on the root of the SD. I think it may be due to the fact that i have Amons(Think thats the name) Recovery on my Evo now. My Evo is currently fully rooted and NAND unlocked.(Using toasts method) But for some reason it has started freezing alot and not turning back on once the phone goes to sleep etc etc. I am running Fresh 1.0.1(The latest version, the # may be incorrect) And i want to go back to stock, unrooted, without NAND unlocked and then im just going to wait for Froyo to be pushed. If anyone knows a way to do it without the phone needing to check for PC36IMG, and without using the RUU that would be great, maybe an ADB way.

Thanks guys,

Daugusta

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Believer:
I've been curious if there is any difference between the two; mobile processors that go in cell phones and netbooks, and the 'regular' processors that are made for laptops and desktop computers as far as the processing rating for each go.

Somewhere I remember someone saying that there is a difference between a 1GHz mobile processor and a 1GHz desktop processor. If anyone coulf verify this or give some input toward this topic,it would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
Seriously, that is too broad of a topic. There are a ton of differences.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android Believer:
Ok, let me clarify a little better. What is the computing power difference between a mobile processor that is rated at 1 GHz and a desktop processor rated at 1GHz. That is my question. I remember someone saying that they were rated differently or something of the sort.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
You are still trying to compare apples to oranges. This is akin to comparing 2ghz Intel CPUs. There are several running at 2ghz, however there are a whole bunch of other architectural differences.

In an attempt to answer this question, I would say compare the mflops of each processor. People use linpack on the droids to measure this, I've seen as high as ~40 in linpack on the EVO with custom kernels, stock are are ~6.

Here is a good site with linpack scores for various mobiles.

Here are some linpack scores for desktop CPUs to give you a comparison.

1.26GHz Pentium III - 503

1.0GHz PowerPC G4 - 284

433MHz Celeron - 160

200MHz Pentium Pro - 62

There a ton more scores listed HERE. Tests are legit done by UT. But notice the old ass pentium pro 200mhz outscores the EVO's 1Ghz snapdragon? This just reiterates why I said it's apples vs. oranges.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dallashigh:
Most processors are rated by clock speed. "1 GHz" is talking about clock speed. A 1GHz processor goes through one billion cycles per second.

The reason this is hairy is because every CPU architecture is different. An Intel Core i5 will generally be slower than an Intel Core i7, even if the clock speed is exactly the same.

A phone processor is radically different from a computer processor. Most computers use an "x86" processor. Phones typically use an "ARM" processor, which is entirely different from x86. It may take longer than x86 to perform the same operation, because the actual "instructions" required for the operation are different than they would be on x86.

Certain processors have special "instruction sets" and other optimizations that allow them to accomplish the same amount of work in fewer clock cycles. There are also varying amounts of cache. A "cache miss" refers to a situation where the CPU needs data that is not in its cache. When that occurs, the processor has to go to RAM (very slow compared to cache) or heaven forbid mass storage (snail's pace compared to cache).

Most people don't know that a CPU spends most of its time waiting. Several times a second, the CPU has to wait while the RAM refreshes itself. That can burn millions of clock cycles. The CPU can easily spend billions of cycles waiting for data from mass storage.

There are several other reasons. I've tried to cover the big ones without getting too caught up in technical details.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I am one of the enthusiastic ones who upgraded as soon as the froyo leak came out...after applying the relevant bug fixes.....everything is working fine for me...my only issue being with the dropped battery life that I seem to be having.

But overall really I am not too thrilled since there is nothing major that came with froyo....the minor enhancements might as well have been minor updates to the 2.1....do you guys feel the same? Are you guys seriously that wowed?

Just wanted to see if I am missing something here.
[Droid Incredible General] jbrowning37:
I, like you, upgraded when the froyo Rom came out and I'm not super impressed with it but I do enjoy the 720 recording and the flash player. The flash player is awesome.
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
Froyo is "worth" it in the sense (no pun intended) that it is moving the Android platform into a place where it needs to be, but as far as use for the end user, you've pretty much covered the biggest highlights that will be used (and that's why I am still on a rooted 2.1 with a few fun hacks until the official update rolls around).
[Droid Incredible General] magneticzero:
It is def worth the upgrade for me...only one think that is broke and i cant fix(havent tried to start from the stock froyo rom, got things the way i want)....that is the youtube app...it fc on start...so i just removed and been happy watching stuff in the browser!
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
The hi def is not really a froyo upgrade. It came with the leaked OTA for 2.1.
[Droid Incredible General] onetimeuse:
Things that made it worth it for me:

-JIT

-ChromeToPhone

-Wifi hotspot (with the mynumber@dun.vzw to mynumber@vzw trick)

-Full flash

-720p recording (I didn't install the leaked ota on 2.1)

-Improvements to gmail (like being able to click between accounts easily and which address I'm emailing from)

-Some minor stuff (like improvement in Application management)

-Having the latest and greatest :)

Battery seems to last just as long as my 2.1 with undervolted kernel....very pleased with battery life and temps on froyo
[Droid Incredible General] Incredibuyer:
Installing the leaked 2.2 rom and updating the radio has been great so far for me.

WiFi no is N or has improved. Max reception throughout my home and extreme speeds. Multiple apps install before I can finish reading an email...

3g hotspot is nice.

Mflops improved from 6 range to 32. The phone is a lot faster. Example, prior to 2.2, Installing more than 2 apps at a time would slow the phone down....don't know if that's mflop related....

Gmail is vastly improved!

Prior to rebooting 2 times, I had the Gmail and 3g data bug but not since those reboots....
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
It is great.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
With regards to gmail, I hate the fact that whenever I get a new gmail and when I tap the gmail icon, instead of showing me my inbox with the list of emails, it directly opens the new email.

Does anybody know how to fix this.
[Droid Incredible General] Fuzzy_Dunlop:
Did you try clearing battery stats in recovery? I was getting pretty terrible battery life with Sky Raider prior to the leak (version 1.9 and below), especially when asleep. Now by battery life is just as good with the 2.2 as it was with 2.1.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
Thanks for the tip.. I'll try that.. meanwhile.. does anybody know how to get gmail to open my inbox with it's list of old and new emails instead of it directly opening a new email when I tap on it?

Bluetooth headset dialing works

makes all the difference for me...
[Droid Incredible General] nat4mac:

[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I installed the newest leak that came out on august 1st.. It seems to be pretty bug free and smooth.. I'll see how my battery works with this one.
[Droid Incredible General] nickespi:
WELL LET me know if froyo is worth it. Ive seen and read a couple reviews on it and people were not that impressed but yet i remain optimistic because i gutted it out and bought a Incredible cash as an upgrade to my droid. And to be perfectly truthful, i am not impressed one bit by the incredible. There is much to be said and the performance alone except maybe speed at the higher end may stand out a BIT. other than that not impressed so i just hope there are vast improvement with froyo and Development. It sorta seems like it has been left behind. I love htc and THE EVO!! rocks, i feel as if the Incredible has been left in a shadow.....
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
The 8-01-10 leaked Froyo seems to be working good .. and I have not encountered a single bug with this.. I guess the bluetooth dialing is a big deal after all.. I am able to pair it and use it with my car's built in bluetooth.. but again.. it didn't have to be Froyo delivering this.. this could simply have been achieved thru a minor ota update.

I guess unless there is a cosmetic change.. an update doesn't really feel like one.

for i always ues simplified chinese rom,so...

but i remember A4 IME can help you input traditional chinese.of course you have to check up whether "simplified to traditional" is on or not.

[Android Apps and Games] Spybreak:
I'm on Android 2.1 on a Galaxy S. Is there away to have the default browser zoom to text boxes correctly?

I'm basically comparing how it works to the iPhone, and when I double tap on a block of text I want to read it zooms in past the width of the text box and I end up having to scroll left and right or having to pinch to zoom out a bit.

Using auto-fit sucks because it reflows the text in a very ugly way, especially if there is an image on top of the article.

Practical example: going to Gizmodo, Engadget or NYTimes and double tapping on an article in the main page. On the iphone it frames it exactly right, you can see the image and the text just fine. On my Galaxy it zooms past the text and image. I tried changing the font size but it still does it.

Is there a browser on the market that does a better job at this? I've tried Skyfire, Opera and Dolphing and they all do the same.

Why is it so hard for the browser to detect the width of the block of text I'm trying to read and zoom just to that point? It's a pain having to pinch every time I want to read something.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samrozzi:
ok running a 2.2 rom now, love it but question on the apps 2 sd built in. I know only certain apps you can move to the sd card, but i was wondering where on the card do they save?

also if you wipe your phone does it wipe the apps off of the sd card as well? and if not, if you wipe your phone, the apps you moved to the sd card, do they stay on the phone and never uninstall?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epphllps:
Mine were placed in /mnt/asec if I remember correctly, or I at least found files for the apps that I was able to "move to sd" there. I would like to know more about this myself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samrozzi:
anyone know the answer to this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XmentalX:
as said above they go to /mnt/asec
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pHaez:

Yea the /mnt/asec is probably a symlink
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epphllps:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samrozzi:
well my other main question is, say you move some apps to the sd card and you wipe your phone, im assuming it doesnt wipe that part of the card, so when you reset your phone, are those select apps still on the phone/card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
