[Desire General] Ronok:
Instead of starting a new one, I'll just post here.

If stock froyo has 150mb free space, there's something wrong with my internal memory. I just did a count (manually) of all apps (>100kb) and the total space was 40.43 MB. I excluded apps smaller than 100kb, which were the last 10-20 on the list, thus not a big difference. At the moment I have 27mb free space. I can imagine there's some "lost space" due to fragmentation, but 80mb ... :confused:

I already did the setInstallLocation mod to move some apps to SD. I think the next step is rooting... But I don't really want to do that before I figured out where those 80mb are.

The Desire is an amazing phone, but the internal memory makes it a prehistoric device. I mean, today we can cram terabytes in a wallet-sized case, but I'm still counting the kilobytes that would fit on my device...:rolleyes:

EDIT: I updated google maps (4.5.1) and went to 19mb free space, there we go again...

[General Questions and Answers] can90:
Hi. I bought a LG VS750 Fathom from ebay 2 months ago. Then I purchased so many unlock code orders from different sellers. However, the only answer I got is "unlock code is not found from the database, sorry.". Then I started to think that maybe my IMEI number has changed before I bought my phone. IMEI isn't written in anywhere on the box or on the phone, it is only appear when I press *#06#. On the box and on the phone, just MEID number is written.

I really need to know that the MEID and the IMEI number fit fot the same device. I asked to Verizon and LG to check but they said they can't check that information.

Do anybody know how can I check my IMEI? Can you please tell me if you how any way to do that?

I'm very desperate, I couldn't unlock my phone. Please help me:(

Can somebody please help me take this app out of my phone... its the default app.. i want to use one from the market.....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
Assuming you are rooted and have Android sdk on your computer you need to do this in the command prompt......

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/xxxxxx.apk

HTC also has the messaging widget which you can remove.

To see all the apps do this in the command window....

adb shell

cd /system/app

ls

Then just replace xxxxxx with the app you want to remove. I'm on my phone so I can't tell you off hand what the name is.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorbisloth:
I was under the impression that you shouldn't remove the stock messaging app because regardless what program you use it needs the mms framework from the messaging app to function. You can turn off all notification for the stock messaging app so that it doesn't pop up for texts though.

I'd be sure to do a nand backup before removing this.

If ur removing mms ur correct. If ur talking am the IM apk then that can be removed. If u want to use a text message app from the market u have to leave the mms app on the phone. Just go the settings and turn off auto retrieve and notifications. All the text message apps use the mms to send messages. Hope that helps

I used SU File Manager and mounted the system folder as read and write then went into system/apps/ and deleted MMS.apk. This removed the entire Messaging App from my Hero and I only use Handcent now and haven't had any issues.

or from your computer's terminal you could do:

[Desire General] ddsp:
Hey guys,

I've got a BIG problem here with my new HTC Desire. First thing I've done was to root it (to join an ad-hoc network). For this I used the unrevoked³ tool (linux version), which just worked fine.

Trying to upgrade to Android 2.2 I read, that i have to unroot my phone first, so I did this.

After installing the HTCSync.exe shipped on the SDCard under Win7, I executed the RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe (md5sum bb0aa8f1bd5e7543aa84144beb81363e).

Basically the installation went well, a progress bar was shown on the PC and on the phone and afterwards the phone restarted... at least I think it did, because - here comes the problem - in the middle of the progress the display turned off and never turned on again till now :(

So I tried various other RUU_*.exe's but each one failed with a ERROR[140] wrong Bootloader-Version.

As far as I can say, the phone still works: it vibrates when pressing the power button and then - after a while - plays the boot sound (so i'd say it boots properly but stops waiting for PIN-Input).

So the only problem is, that the display doesn't work (which is quite a big issue...)

Any ideas??

This is just a suggestion, don't go all crazy on me please.

I noticed that users who complain about the issue like my self, have CM.

AndroidPolice

"I noticed this yesterday after I updated my Facebook app the night before, but I also flashed a new CM6 nightly and I (incorrectly) assumed that was the cause of the power drain."

He has CM and downloaded the new FB update.

Either this or Apple's behind this. That actually makes sense. Apple does this so everyone gets there attention off the antenna issues. Specially new Android users who don't visit blogs and forums and have updated there facebook, unknowingly will blame the Android OS for having horrible battery issues.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
lol apple?

The facebook app calls a partial wakelock for the device, keeping it "on" while the screen is turned off. That's the cause of the battery issue.

Looks like the facebook devs have to dig a little bit deeper in how android works.

I tried searching around for an answer, but couldn't find anything. I am noticing that after my phone being on the charger for awhile (read 30+ minutes), and I unplug it it is sluggish. I go to SetCPU's main screen and it says I am currently at 245Mhz, and the max is 245, with min of 245, and an on demand scaling profile. If I let it sit there for about 10-15 seconds, it then seems to jump to 1113 Mhz for a max, and once agian the phone operates smoothly.

I am running the Netarchy kernel for Froyo, along with his Odexed Froyo. My SetCPU profiles are set just as in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=721156&highlight=setcpu

Can anyone think of something here that would explain this? The only profile in SetCPU that would explain this is the "Screen Off" from the above reference thread, which matches what I am seeing exactly. But the screen is never off. In fact I have the screen set to not turn off when plugged in to the charger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Could be that SetCPU thinks the screen's off, and the "keep screen on" setting doesn't get recognized properly by SetCPU, which just sees the "screen timeout: two minutes" and then throttles back after two minutes of inactivity.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] RADLOUNI:
Hi I've read some where in this forum that the galaxy S has some I/O problems which are leading to the frequent lags that the phone experiences

Frankly I do not know what I/O is but my question is whether I/O problem is a hardware or software problem. If it is software then fair and well, I'll wait for samsung to ooptimize the software

I have noticed that the benchmark software (Quadrant) runs relatively smoothly all the tests except the I/O test at which it stops for a while before moving to the next test. I dont know if this relates to the I/O problem.

Thanks for your answers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Theres still no solid proof that its a software issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RADLOUNI:
****

****...............then you're saying its hardware ??????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] djglenn1337:
He is not saying its hardware, just that there is no solid proof that its software.

However, based on the amount of working fixes, and reports of great improvements using Froyo I would put money on it being software related.

In fact...I am!

I am ordering a SGS in 3 days when my contract is up for renewal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bitbang3r:
Actually, I think everyone's overlooking another obvious possible source of lag: clock-scaling for power conservation. If a phone slows down to 200MHz when it thinks it's inactive, and won't speed up until it sees evidence of activity lasting for 400ms, well... that's 400ms of lag you wouldn't get if the phone were running full-bore 1GHz all the time.

There's even an easy way to test the theory (on a rooted phone, at least) -- take two otherwise-identical phones, fully-charged, root one (while keeping the same rom), then install SetCPU and lock it into 'performance' mode so the phone can't slow down.

If the one locked at 100% CPU speed doesn't lag, and the one that's allowed to slow down to prolong the battery life does... well... there's the answer.

I mention this because I just experienced the night-and-day difference between the CDMA Hero's default power/speed (528MHz max, going down to 250MHz or less when "inactive") and with it locked to 712MHz in performance mode. Pretty much all of my lag problems vanished instantly when I locked it to performance mode. I have a hunch right now that perceived lagginess is almost entirely due to cpu scaling (particularly the time it takes to scale back up, and the criteria used for doing it).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RADLOUNI:
Makes Sense

Very interesting theory, and it makes sense to be frank.

Are there any software out there that would enable me to lock the CPU speed to 1 GHz. I am willing to try this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
The guy just told you, root phone and install "Setcpu". That's the only way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andars05:
Looking at the benchmarks and the various fixes implemented I tend to lean towards the opinion that it may be hardware related.

hxxp://twitter.com/koush/status/20321413798

I'm not familiar enough with the internals of the phone. If there is faster flash memory located on the phone, then a repartition may be enough to fix the device. If not, then I'm afraid we may be stuck with some lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kpkpkpkp:
Would anyone be so kind as to explain what I/O is and why the setup in the SGS causes lagging while other android phones with similar specs don't seem to suffer from the same problems?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
not very interesting, as it's closer to the truth than you think.

think about it, Android OS is really Linux, the SGS is a miniature PC with phone capability.

everything else aside for the phone part, works just like a PC running Linux.

even on a Windows PC the Duo Core or Quad Core machines that has the Power Saving option enable behaves the same, when they are on iddle mode they run at 50% CPU power or less, and it takes them a fraction of a sec to speed back up, people that don't like that tiny lag, they always set the PC on performance mode, or always on, or simply not install the power saving software that comes with the PC.

we can do the same on the SGS phones, the only downside is that your battery will be out of juice faster than you think.

not to mention the Screen is the most power hungry part in the phone, just like most other phones with large LCD displays
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RADLOUNI:
did the install and...

Hi

I just did the install of setcpu and i will monitor the device for sometime before i give some feedback. My initiall impression is that the performance got better.

i set the software to performance mode and kept the limits between 100Mhz and 1000Mhz

i will also try to set the min limit to 800Mhz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bitbang3r:
Actually, that reminds me... the other thing I've seen cited a lot for causing lag is the way Android manages memory by terminating apps instead of using a swapfile. This can cause lag, because it simply takes time to call onPause()/onStop() and wait for it to finish, compared to unceremoniously just suspending the app and dumping a few megs to the microSD card.

Apparently, manufacturers don't use swapfile because most/all Android phones ship with class 2 microSD flash, in which case it would hurt performance more than it helped.

With that in mind, I'd say the following two things should be tried:

1) Buy a class 6 (or better) microSD card, format a swap partition, and use a rom on a rooted phone that supports it. For the record, swap with class 2 would be detrimental; swap with class 4 would be of minimal benefit; swap with class 6 is a big improvement; class 8 basically doesn't exist, and class 10 in real-world use -- with small, scattered files and random read-writes -- is only a little bit faster than class 6, because at that point the time it takes to deal with protocol matters becomes huge relative to the time it takes to actually DO the flash write (the SD card SPI and 4-bit protocols are *really* ugly, and overwhelmingly optimized for sequential reading and writing of bulk data. The moment you start doing random-access rewrites, their performance -- regardless of class -- goes to hell. That's part of the reason why pro gear still tends to use CompactFlash... it still has to deal with flash a page at a time, but it can access arbitrary tiny chunks of data scattered all over the place a lot faster and with a lot less ceremony than (micro)SD).

2) Install SetCPU and lock the CPU to max speed in "performance" mode.

SetCPU alone seemed to make the biggest difference with regard to keyboard input lag. My guess is that Android (or HTC's modifications for the Hero, Evo, etc... and quite possibly Samsung's too) slow the phone WAY down whenever an input area is displayed, on the theory that "most" apps at that point are just displaying the picture of a keyboard and waiting for the user to mash the screen with his finger. Without SetCPU, Graffiti is almost unusable and makes weird errors. With SetCPU locked to performance mode, Graffiti is almost flawless. It's literally a night-and-day difference.

Input/Output -data communication to/from the phone and other devices/networks

It's like when you are writing information to the system that comes from downloads, so whether you are syncing files, downloading from the marketplace or uploading...you are doing I/O....

"In computing, input/output, or I/O, refers to the communication between an information processing system (such as a computer), and the outside world possibly a human, or another information processing system. Inputs are the signals or data received by the system, and outputs are the signals or data sent from it. "

Wiki
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
To ask a question and summarize, if you were given a choice of any class card to put in your phone you'd chose a class 6 because of the performance benefit here? Or would you maybe go with a higher class because it'd get greater benefits in other areas? Thanks for the help, again, don't consider money as a factor for the main issue, just trying to learn a bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RADLOUNI:
result

HI I tried setCPU at performance mode , and i have to say that it improved the perofrmance A BIT. But i would not say that much has improved.

I guess that the class6 SD card option has more bearing on this issue than CPU speed scaling
[Galaxy S I9000 General] borchgrevink:
Does the SD card lag fix option REQUIRE a class 6 card? That limits the size a bit, doesn't it? What is the biggest class 6 card available?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
16GB

no, it does not need to be Class 6, it depends on the SD card build quality, some Class 2 performs as good as a Class 6

but it's a luck of the draw, if you have a known good Class 2 or Class 4 microSD card, then use it, no need to buy a new one

i suggest you to test the speed of the SD card before you do the mimocan thing

use this app, it's pretty accurate

[Streak 5 General] Cypher84:
Same here, plus Im using ADW launcher now with the droid X theme (looks great) which kind of negates a lot of the Dell stuff already and gives me loads of layout and UI options and portrait everywhere. So the things I really need now to make it a great experience is a better dialer. Keyboard fix - though I will prob install HTC multitouch, and most importantly proper multitouch which I assume this 2.1 build has.. which will finally allow for a decent gaming experince with emulators etc. I was actually quite happy with the camera interface, but the HD video is a big plus.

Sadly Dell screwed up with the software from the beginning and now they are rapidly losing potential customers with all this waiting around. The custom taskbar has its plusses but they would have won big if instead of wasting time customising the UI they launched this awesome device with a stock froyo build from release and then added custom touches, anyway lets hope 2.2 is on the way as the performance improvement would be great.
