[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
I think the best app to go off of is "Network"...its a direct dialer code app
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
For those that don't know about CDMA Workshop and own a CDMA phone....please learn this program, it is very useful and the more people that know how to use it (and QPST), the more can develop with it...........It is kinda dangerous to play with tho
[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:

I tried to push the new PRL (60669) using CDMA workshop, but it says the prl file is not a valid prl file
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
same here go to write it says invalid prl
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Stupid Question....Did you unzip and point to the raw .prl file?
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
yes, i did unzip; maybe it's b/c i'm on CM6 nightly, could that be the reason?
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
"60669.prl is not a valid PRL file"

I can almost guarantee that this is the result of running CM6.
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Try connecting back to CDMA Workshop and see how your prl is being used with CM6...Go to PRL page and hit "read"...if you post your settings then we can compare yours and Sense's (AOSP-CM6) AOSP might use different settings than Sense's, using the PRL in another way?
[EVO 4G General] bradfox2:
Someone please develop an app for switching prls in froyo. Need it! Will donate.
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Now, when I write the PRL, it says failed, phone does not answer.

I looked into device manager and under Modems, there's 2 items listed:

Conexant HDA D110 MDC V.92 Modem (which uses COM3) and the Standard Modem (COM4).

I'm not sure which COM I'm supposed to select.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
cdma workshop says my phone isnt connected even though it sees it under the com port list.

any reason why this would be.

and yes i have not looked for answers on the CDMA workshop website.

i'm at work and dont have alot of time this moment. will tonight though.

just wondering if anyone has seen this and if there is a simpe fix.

What Froyo rom are you running? I was able to use ##775# with Fresh...
[EVO 4G General] SteelH:
Seriously, that sounds like taking the scenic route to do something simple. I am using the Froyo deodexed I posted. I went into menu/settings/system updates. I clicked Update PRL. It updated just fine. I'm not sure what version of Froyo you're using, but mine updates just fine the normal way.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Yours updates because you have the Sense/Stock 2.2. People with CyanogenMod or non-Sense ROMs can't use PRL/Software/Firmware update, nor can they use dialer codes like ##DATA# and whatnot.

As for me, I just did the smart thing, and kept a blank, freshly-wiped stock rooted 2.1 ROM in Nandroid. If anything ever goes bad, there's PRL update, or I need to access a dialer code, voila, just Backup current ROM, Restore old version, do whatever I need, and then Restore the latest backup. Works perfectly.

[EVO 4G General] airauto:

Does this have anything to do with why I plug in my evo to the pc the devicemanager shows three Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM devices with no drivers and I can't run ADB commands?
[EVO 4G General] joackie27:
I'm running CM6 with the 60669 PRL. What I did was nand backup my rom and then flashed Fresh v3. Update PRL and then restore the CM6 rom.
[EVO 4G General] Cohh:
For some reason my Evo won't show up as a modem. I have a couple unknown devices but I can't find a driver that will work for any of them. The only selectable modem is Standard Modem for the laptop, on Com3.

Any suggestions on getting the Evo to pop up in there? Using XP Sp3. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] n1gh7m4r3:
Have you installed htc sync yet?
[EVO 4G General] Cohh:
Yeah, already installed. It will show up as a NIC but no Com with that one.
[EVO 4G General] n1gh7m4r3:
odd, i have one xp box still and i had no problem after installing sinc, though after i did i had to plug the phone into the usb cable, and then switch through all the settings for it to update the different drivers. I.e. let it update a driver when its on charge, then change it to disk drive, then to the other 2, it updated all of mine, your not running 64 bit xp are you?
[EVO 4G General] Cohh:
Tried it now on three different machine; I cannot get this Evo to show up as a modem!

Just for reference, which mode does it have to be in to detect as a modem?
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
##DIAG# puts the phone in diagnostics mode...AKA modem
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:
Any espt working on cm6 yet?
[EVO 4G General] Cohh:
The code definitely works, but still nothing :mad:

Even with the diag screen up, no modem is detected.. We know of any other ways to push a new PRL on an unrooted 2.2 phone? I'd love to start receiving calls at home again :p
[EVO 4G General] gatorran:
After using 01337 prl for a few months... Tried to update to the new PRI and the phone applied the new prl 669 in the process. Now I tried to apply the 1337 with CDMA Workshop but everytime I make a call gives me a messages that the call cannot be completed as dial.. Anyone having the same problem??:confused:

Sprint signal sucks were I live and the phone never roams... Plus the data with the 1337 prl is like 10 times faster..
[EVO 4G General] snandlal:

[EVO 4G General] Cohh:

Why can't you just do the normal update profile?
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Is there any easier way of doing this yet? I'm on burnt droid - basically stock htc 2.2 rooted.

I have 1 bar just about everywhere I go, unless I'm within eye sight of a Sprint tower here in Idaho. 3G barely tops 0.8 and 4G is a joke; has to be plugged into a dial-up line - I'm not kidding.

[HD Mini General] stefanthege:
Hi,

When fully charged my battery lasts about 30 hours, which is totally useless! Therefore I am trying to set all possible powersaving options to the most "efficient".

I have:

- stopped animated weather backgrund.

- stopped automatic updates on weather forecast.

- lowered the background light to 40%

I believe one of the most efficient ways of getting longer battery capacity is turning off the 3G, but I can't get ActiveSync to work without it beeing on. When I turn the 3G off, and then ActiveSync, the 3G stays on when sync is done.

I only need 3G when surfing web-pages, I don't really care if synchronizing e-mail and calendar takes 10 or 30 seconds. Can anybody help me out here?

Any other settings to keep powerusage to a minimum?
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Shorten backlight duration.

Regularly kill background apps.
[HD Mini General] napster_doom:
Press power button manually after each use.

Disable vibration in setting > personalize > Vibration.

Turn off tapping sound.

Enable pocket mode in ring-tones settings.

Use short ring-tones.

Enable 3G/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth when required.

Make Bluetooth discoverable for 60 seconds only (not sure whether it saves battery)

Ok so here is the deal i ran into a macro lens home made for the nexus one, got me thinking! So i went ahead a took apart a camera to make a macro lens for my EVO! i had success, first try!! Before Doing this check out my pics

WHat you need

1. Disposable camera

2. Krazy Glue

3. Baking Soda

4. thin wire

5. Flat head to open disposable camera

steps

1. Ok so what i basically did was just take apart a disposable camera and i tore it to pieces until i got to the lens!

2. So just extract the first lens and thats all you need

3. i use blue scotch tape for the bottom of the lens so it wouldn't scratch my camera lens! (also just but a tinny piece of screen protector on you camera lens on the evo)

4. So i got some tie down wire and striped it to just bare wire!! ok so now you want to use like a AAA battery to round the wire in half, so it looks like a long U shape!!

5. Ok now you Krazy Glue and Baking Soda (baking soda is the activator for krazy glue) ok now just glue your wire to your lens that you got from the disposable camera! (all you need is 3 drops of glue to hold down your wire) now sprinkle baking soda to activate your glue and now your done

6. take your pics (make sure to clean your macro lens):D
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
Never heard of using baking soda as super glue activator.
[EVO 4G Accessories] afxtwn:
Neat trick but dealextreme has a macro lens for cheaper than a disposable camera costs :(

And is your !!!! button stuck? Ive never seen someone emphasize so many sentences.

I kid, good work though!
[EVO 4G Accessories] crazzysandman:
Haha yeah lol well my friend showed me a neat trick with backing soda and krazy glue and it works very good. And yeah thanks for the comments, its not perfect I have the Sprint rubber case and so I use that to hold my macro lens it does wonders. Yeah I like to emphasizes a lot. And the disposable camera was given to me so I didn't have to pay for anything, if you guys have better ideas let me know I might try them!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] crazzysandman:
Ok I did a few adjustment I used masking tape and a hole punch so it wouldn't scratch my evo camera lens. Just look at the pictures attacked to this and look at it . Thanks

Can I format the SD card without it ruining my phone?

will this mean i loose root access or anything like that?

Will the phone itself index the SD card with folders that it needs?

asking since im unable to repair the phone using Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0.

but am able to reinstall the firmware using seus.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pharaohdk:
well i just tried it out, formatting the card seems to work fine, looks like the phone itself creates the folders it needs when it needs it.

not sure how i can see if the phone is still rooted, since superuser and all that is removed from the sd card now.

---new---

so if anyone could tell me a way to see if the phone is rooted it would be much helpfull.

and could someone say how cellphone repaire shops see if the phone is rooted
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] skyleth:
try to install superuser.apk and a terminal and then type su in the terminal, if you get #, then your phone is still rooted. but i think it'll be rooted, but the only thing you're missing is the superuser app
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pharaohdk:
okay.

I´m asking since im selling the phone, and the guy would like it unrooted.

so atm it´s as unrooted as possible ? since we got no recovery for it yet.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
We do have recovery, just not custom recovery.

Use either PC Companion or SEUS, plug in the phone, select Update, it'll tell you that you have the latest version already, but there should be an option to force the update / repair, which should put you back to the default firmware without any mods
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pharaohdk:
Okay, I cant get the PC companion to work, it gives an error when I try to repair (thats after it have prepared and downloaded the file, errors comes when it tries to install it) Seus works fine, reinstalled the firmware it.

Thanks a lot guys

Adw is a home replacement and launcher x is a widget for contacts, apps...

Perhaps he meant Launcher Pro?
[XPERIA X10 General] x10klemi:
Maybe but launcher pro is 2.1
[XPERIA X10 General] the_ahmadzais:
no i meant launch-x pro not launcher pro , i dont know how to use it lol and there is no youtube videos to learn. cuz some1 commented on the review saying adw launcher can do the same thing. so i dont know which to use or buy.
[XPERIA X10 General] x10klemi:
Maybe he meand i can do shortcuts for directcall also with adw.
[XPERIA X10 General] parthabhatta:
Actually Launcher-X Pro is an app which helps to build multiple custom widgets and eep them in stoc for use on your Home Screen as standalone widgets as and when required according to your taste. Again each widget can be of single icon to 49 icons (7 icons in 7 pages). By icons I mean shortcuts to app contacts etc.

This is a versatile piece of software and really unique. There are lot op options available. Really good app. There is a trial version in maret which you can try before buying.

OT: I prefer adw for its customizations and themes along we can buy and apply which is a big + for me :).
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
Launch X Pro isn't a launcher/homescreen replacement, so you can't compare it to ADW launcher.

That's what the others are talking about. So no this isn't a thread that makes any sense.

Sent from my HAL 9000 from the future
[XPERIA X10 General] shahkam:
There is a home launcher named launcher pro x or something like this I know what he's talking about I tried both and like adw better.

That is LAUNCHER PRO not launch pro x

[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Look at this (from 1:44 on):

[YOUTUBE]TPYYlx4KJtw[/YOUTUBE]

It's a quadrant benchmark run on a android port on the HD2. Graphics are really bad, but in the end it has approximately the same score as the benchmarking score of the Galaxy with the original firmware. I mean what is in a score? If I look at the beginning of the movie, the UI is very slow and not as responsive as the Galaxy

(BTW i got 55.7 FPS with the neocore benchmark on JM2)

This is not to say that I don't have deep respect for what the HD2-android development team is doing. Really amazing job. I just can't wait to get my HD2 back from repair.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Quadrant scores have been criticized for their non-descript breakdowns, at least on their free suite. Also, the fact that they chose the weighting of the scores, so should they chose 2D is equal to 3D weight, I don't know their formula (and for all I know, they give equal weighting to all or they give equal weighting to all test where the CPU has 12 tests and the 3D graphics has 4), but the fact that we, as users don't have access to their formula on their website is a bit unnerving.

Add to that the fact that many reviews and videos rely on it so heavily leaves users a bit misinformed. In reality, and thorough review should definitely run a custom test suite to give individual scores to:

CPU

Memory

I/O

2D graphics

3D graphics

That way users can compare what's important to them. The Galaxy S suffers from terrible I/O and the hacks that have given the fixes typically boost Galaxy scores to nearly double their rates, and it's majorly attributed to improving a bunk I/O score.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Totally agree. In addition, it would be really nice to know which benchmarked factors are responsible for which functions. For example it is really interesting to see how the hd2 performs before the user is running the tests. When the user is scrolling through the setting menu there is a very noticible lag. Given the fact that the total score is nearly the same as the scrore for the SGS, and thar the graphic score of the hd2 is bad in comparisson to the SGS, I would conclude that graphic performance is very important for the way the ui responds.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
From what I can tell, the HD2 got a decent score 'cos it was running Froyo. When we get bumped up to an official froyo build with JIT fully optimized, We should be top of the pile. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scrizz:
don't forget, android isn't working 100% on the HD2.

I personally think it's pointless comparing to a not complete port.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scrizz:
woops dbl post
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Even then though, it's possible to write a benchmark which wins constantly for any phone.

In regards to "terrible I/O", that might even be due to a bug in the FAT32 drivers. Yes you can benchmark it, but it wont mean much. The best way is to actually TEST the applications you need, rather than select a phone based on benchmarks. However, you are possibly best off looking at the component specs, because they ignore software bugs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
But the topic is about "what's in a score". Maybe one can generally say that is pointless to compare devices this way. I think that such benchmark scores are only (a bit) relevant at the two poles of the benchmark score spectrum. Everything in between can be neglected due to the uninformed way sub-scores are evaluated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
You got 55.7 FPS on Neocore as the sgs has vertical sync enabled, the refresh rate on the sgs'es screen is 56 fps and thus you can only go up to 56 fps as the v-sync is on. This proves that the sgs is indeed a much more powerful device that is actually being held back. If you can disable the v-sync then you can get a higher fps score
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I just read in a post that the Galaxy S gets a 0 on the 2D score:

"JIT isn't fully enabled in the current froyo versions, and quadrant, frankly, is bull**** (for exmple, 2d acceleration gets the same weight in the final result as 3D. Due to the fact that the SGS doesn't have a dedicated 2D accelerator, quadrant doesn't try to use the cpu- it just gives a round zero in that part)"

I can't confirm this, but that definitely seems like a terrible set-up, seeing as how I'm pretty sure I have games run in 2D, so to say that it can't do it just seems wrong regardless of if the SGS has a dedicated 2D accelerator or not (so if you aren't testing the way it performs in real-world, why are you testing?)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737787&page=3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
It isn't really being held back - the screen can't display more than 56 fps as you say, and it wouldn't really be visible even if it could. Disabling v-sync isn't really that important, we need a benchmark that can actually use the advanced features in the SGS GPU (Neocore just pushes a fairly small amount of polygons with no real extras.) Using current 3D benchmarks to benchmark the SGS is like using quake 1 to benchmark the brand new ATI/nVidia cards.

The benchmark is what is at fault here, not the device ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I don't want to speak for the other poster, and I agree with your premise, however, it isn't actually solving the issue at hand. Better FPS wouldn't be noticed, however, it would give a better score and, more importantly, indicate it's potential. So, getting 56FPS isn't doing the phone any justice within the score, which is what reviews are using, giving it an artificially low score, and putting it more in line with units that can't compete on higher end games. So, when a site like anand pushes 150FPS on a game, I know that means that their rig is entirely too powerful for the game in question, but it still means something when you compare it to the lower end graphics card that only gets 90...then when they run Crisis you see these results play out more with differences that we can notice with the eye.
