[Captivate General] kashc2:
The android market on my captivate is slow, it'll take anywhere from 15-25 seconds to load a page sometimes. Also my music player is sluggish, I only have about 300 songs on there right now and the player lags a little bit. Anyone else having these problems?
[Captivate General] carporsche:
I also face the same problem with android market.

Any application takes a while to start installing, sometimes even upto 10-15 mins for the installation to start.

I reset my phone to factory settings a couple of times before and still this problem exists.

I know this may sound a bit crazy, i think the GPS malfunction on this device has got to be somehow connected with all the lag.. (Most of the applications required your current location, and maybe the GPS gets activated or something like that).

I know it may sound lame, am not a software guy, but i am just thinking that it may be the case!
[Captivate General] jjimenezjj:
Same for me with the Android Market lag... of course my GPS too but that's a given :-(
[Captivate General] systoxity:
hmm, i dont use the music player (pandora ftw) but i do use the market quite a bit. I havn't noticed any page loading lag (this could be due to you reception) but now that i've hit 50 apps, when i install new ones, the phone has a brain fart while its installing and becomes generally slower untill the install completes. However downloads and installs dont take any longer than normal...
[Captivate General] kashc2:
yeah my installing is fine, it's just when i try to load pages. Sometimes it'll take 15-20 seconds to load the page and it's quite annoying. I tried clearing the cache from manage applications settings but that didn't do much.

wheres FROYO!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate General] VerSeg:
Simple solution that helped for me on several phones.

Exit all applications.

Go to Settings => Accounts & Sync => Uncheck Background Data and confirm

Quit all screens with back button

Start Market => You will receive a message that Market can't run without Background Data => click Activate => Enable Background Data and click the back button

Now test Market again

Enjoy!

If you are rooted the OCLF helps this issue immensely. I had it installed and just uninstalled the OCLF to see if there was any difference in load times and I'm ready to reinstall, it helps out a lot!

[Desire General] adza:
Hi Guys,

Sorry for the stupid question, but I've updated to the latest HTC release and am aware that I can't root anymore. (Have not done it before anyway).

But does this mean that I can't download any Roms unless they're officially released by HTC, or that I can download other custom Roms, but just can't get root access to my phone, or something else?

Once again, sorry for the dumb question - but I just want to know what my limitations are now that I've updated.

Cheers

Adza
[Desire General] waebi:
until the new HBoot is hacked, you cannot root and/or use any other ROMs than provided by HTC themselves. If you intended to do it, you should have done it before updating :) Otherwise, just wait a bit until the devs figure out a way around it.
[Desire General] adza:
Hi Waebi,

Thanks for your reply. And I understand now - cheers.

I wasn't planning on Rooting, until I found that the official HTC release has screwed me over with no Bluetooth voice dialing. I've been hanging out for that with Froyo that I'm considering ditching this phone now and going to buy something else that has it included. :mad:

Cheers

Adza
[Desire General] waebi:
well yes, it's always sad to see a feature one wants isnt available :/

But I thought they had made quite a fuss about the voice dialing thingy and actually said it was included? Are you sure you didn't just not "find" it? :)
[Desire General] adza:
Hi Waebi,

There appear to be others who can't find it on the HTC Desire either.

Other phone releases seem to have it, as well as the custom Roms.

I naturally assumed that HTC's official release would also include it but it would appear as though they have deliberately removed it for some reason. :(
[General Questions and Answers] RedRamage:
Ugh... I'm having no end to issues trying to get the right unlock setup that I need.

I'm using the default lock program because I need something that prevents powering down when the end key is long pressed. But now it's unlocking whenever I open the keyboard. This is a problem because the keyboard often get bumped a bit when I take it out the case.

Anyone know how to make it so it doesn't unlock when I open the keyboard.
[General Questions and Answers] RedRamage:
After a lot of searching and a bit of luck I found the solution... It wasn't that the keyboard was opening, but rather that the Magnets of my belt holster were moving against the sensors enough to simulate a keyboard open, which was unlocking the phone. Either way it was still a problem, but the solution was to make a small change in the registry to not unlock on a keyboard open.

If anyone else is experiencing the same problem you may want to follow that line of thinking.
[General Questions and Answers] moheysaleh:
can u please tell me which registery value/key u changed to disable unlock when keyboard is opened?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
seriously, folks....

Did you not read any of the forum guidelines before you started posting? Did you not understand them? IF YOU AREN'T POSTING UP DEVELOPMENT MATERIAL (e.g a new ROM, a new kernel, a system hack, a new radio) STOP STARTING THREADS IN THERE.

the q and a forum is for questions.

and, if you are having an issue with a particular kernel, rom, radio, troll the thread concerning that particular item. chances are that someone else has had the problem, and that another person solved it. if it hasn't been solved, post in that thread, with specifics to your issue.

you do not need to start a thread. in fact, when you start threads that have to be moved, your leftovers have to be cleaned up behind you.

/rant

and no, i don't need some person (db, i'm looking at you) to come in here and say "blah blah blah you're just a wanna be mod", or some other non-helpful comment. the fact of the matter is that there is a place for everything. please keep it in its place. you're more likely to find your answer by searching first, and posting in the correct place. you will also find that you are not starting a load of silly flaming as people bicker and fight about stupid crap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
Wanna be mod.

Thanks. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.mauldin:
I agree with you. But why do you always have to be that guy who complains about eveyones posts. It gets kinda old also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If more developers came in here instead of developer wanna b's answering in such a way as to post boost, then we wouldn't have to...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnstarz:
nvm.............
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
why am i complaining? because why should i have to sift through 8 tons of crap because someone else can't read? the development forum is busy enough. if 15 threads weren't moved every day, you'd have to sift through page after page after page of complete nonsense just to find the actual things that belong in there.

sorry. i don't have the time to baby step someone through a complex process when they don't bother to read the simple things.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.mauldin:
I did say I agree with you. But you make yourself "that guy".
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
But "that guy" isn't alone. Lately I've noticed 8+ of us that are "those guys" and growing.

A simple analogy would be comparing parking in the handicapped space at the mall, not worth the risk so you don't... on XDA there is no risk so people park their Q's in the handicapped space (dev) all day long. Neither scenario is right, nor should be tolerated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crotchety:
I could honestly be missing the point here, but by posting your complaint in the Q&A aren't you just griping to those of us who are already in the correct place for general EVO questions instead of in the dev forum where the offenders actually are?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud858rk:
I think a developer wouldn't want to answer the question of some fool who can't even post in the right forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
yes, but what point would i be making by posting it in there? and, as mauldin pointed out, i answer enough of those threads.

however, unless i'm grumpy, i try to both answer their question AND point out that it should be posted in the appropriate place.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
I'm with you OP, its irritating and actually disrespectful to the community

BTW, this should have been posted in dev.. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
I hear you and I just joined XDA not too long ago at all. A few things I learned right away:

- USE THE DAMN SEARCH BUTTON

- READ READ READ READ READ READ

- If you can't find an answer using the search button, open a new tab and Google it

- Still can't find an answer? You'd better search through the other threads before starting a new thread

- These threads wouldn't be so long if people would simply read the OP

- Kittehz r dyin cuz u dont no how 2 reed :)

Seriously though, I hate to see a great community become angered over lazy people. It ruins it for those of us who do heed the rules.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
I am with the OP and to the persons aying if more devs came and answered there questions in QA they wouldnt ask in dev .... most of the people answering questions in DEv arent the DEVS. the DEVS are busy developing things and shouldnt be expected to waste there time answering the same 3 questions everyday all day.

Many people on the forum DO come to the Q&A and try to provide insight. Some are less helpful then others but in general you will get flamed less, you will get the answer and you wont cause issues with the "neatness" of the forums.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crotchety:
Fair enough. As a seasoned XDA vet of a whopping 3 posts (including this one), I would defer to you on this issue, but I just think it looks like you're complaining to the wrong people. We're already in the Q&A which means we're already doing what you devs have been trying to get the offending posters (who are over in the dev forum) to do. They're not gonna see your OP in here because they're too busy bypassing the Q&A and heading over to Dev to annoy you guys with generic questions again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blkout01:
Basically what has happened is the Evo and other somewhat likfe phones have blown up. Word spread like wildfire that XDA was the place to get any and all help with your phones. (Which don't get me wrong 99% of the people here are more then willing to help.) This brought a lot of new people on the scene and wanting information and help. Unfortunately some of those people don't want to play by the rules of the road.

Maybe it's just me but it seems like over the past couple months this is what's happened. I seem to remember another thread this was brought up and a suggestion was made about being a member for a certain period of time before being able to create a new thread. I'm not saying this needs to happen because I don't think that would solve anything actually.

Ok...my rant's over now too.

I need to return my phone because the earphone speaker is whacked out but I have spent the last couple hours trying to unroot it and NOTHING is working...

First I tried HTC Sync on my computer, and I get the Error [171]: USB Connecetion Error

Then I tried HTC sync on my bros computer (since I have unrooted using his laptop before with no problems) and I get a different error saying something about i have the wrong version of data utility updater or whatever.

I spent the last couple hours googleing both errors and looking for fixes, but for some reason I could not get any of them to work. I am as frustrated as can be rite now, and any help would be greatly appreciated....

I'd prefer some sort of "dumbed down" step by step process rather than being sent to a another link, because chances are I have tried that method already and I couldn't get it to work...

I also can not get adb shell to work. I installed the sdk, but it still wont show up...

Should work on any .79 HBOOT in theory, but you have to change it to the .76 one before the RUU or the zip step you are having trouble with. Do Toast's step two which is found in the thread linked above.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneelias:
Hi guys,

Firstly my apologies if this has been asked but i am relatively new to Android after coming from a Windows Mobile platform.

Basically, this is my story. After holding off rooting my phone waiting for the official OTA release of Froyo for my Desire i did the update. I was a little disappointed at the lack of programs that can be moved to SD and still find myself running out of space.

I then decided to bite the bullet and root my Desire using unrevoked and the guide located here http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-desire/124085-rooting-tool-one-click-program.html

After many failed attempts, i asked for help and was informed that you cannot root once the OTA Froyo update has been completed. Well that is not the best outcome so i am wondering if anyone has any ideas of how i could root already running Froyo.

Is it worth reverting back to 2.1 (Ecclair) and trying or am i stuck waiting until some one finds a way to root Froyo devices as there is sure to be demand for something like this as more and more devices start shipping with Froyo loaded.

Hoping for some positive news and thanks for any assistance.
