[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] shavenyaknz:
I'm using pm_sleep_mode=2 which seems to be a good trade off between battery and the sleep problem. Sometimes after the phone has been going awhile outgoing calls don't work but incoming ones do. That can be fixed by going into airplane mode and back out again.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] deechte:
I tried all values 0 to 4 for pm_sleep_mode, but no luck. I even made sure I had a new data.img created every time for every value. Nothing. First incoming call immediately goes wrong.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefudd:
It's a known bug in 2.2

supposedly pandora is working on it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwajr:
By the way Sprint bab works but it plays thru doesn't mute or pauses they talk over each other loved how Pandora would just pause and resume
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:
Yep it's from the 2.2 update. Pandora needs to update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
I was directed here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9569 the other day when I brought up the same issue on a different thread. Looks like it kicked in at the 1.47 ota, prior to that, the audio would go right back to playing pandora or whatever after nav told you to take a left.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefudd:
the problem started for me after the 2.2 update
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
thanks for the confirm, that's exacly how I remember it also (I can't remember exactly when the last time I used nav was before I went to 2.2)

The reason I posted the link though, was to show that it looks like it's been noted as a bug on android code, so I don't know if this is tied directly to Pandora. I'm thinking it's more of a bug with the nav app instead. I'm no expert though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurbineTester:
FWIW, I'm running the OMJ 2.2, and if i'm running googleNAV and playing a song with the native media player, it will pause while gnav give a direction, but it also won't resume play once the directions are finished. That would lead me to believe that the problems is not isolated to pandora....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwajr:
I just tried to day with last tm and it works as should so I'd say its Pandora code that broke
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scl23enn4m3:
It hasn't been working for me on Pandora or the HTC music player...Such a small detail is going to cause me a traffic accident soon...I just know it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nhutpham:
+1, this happens to me with music player also, a big disappointment after having it work in 2.1 and setting up a proper car dock with audio.

Also, I noticed when playing a movie in rockplayer you don't hear the navigation, and even after changing to the navigation app I wouldn't hear sound until I closed rockplayer and reopened the nav app.

I'm sure this is in a basic FAQ or something... but I ask anyway.

Is there some way to get the screen to NOT go black after what seems like 3 seconds? I want the screen to remain lit basically until I tell it to go off with a power button push.

Embarrassing. Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadefoot:
Is there a way to increase the timeout while the phone is dialing and connecting? The phone goes black before the 4th ring and you have to hit the power button if you want to end the call.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Little Dragon:
how about on the lockscreen??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadefoot:
Actually I would like to know about this as well, the lockscreen goes blank really fast too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Little Dragon:
Actually, if u have Widgetlocker you can set the timeout for your lockscreen. Mines set to turn off after 1 minute.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gruvngyrl:
My issue is that regardless of what interval I set my screen timeout to, it somehow always defaults back to 30 seconds. I'm not sure if it happens after the lockscreen comes up or what, but the setting never seems to actually stick. I'm using Widget Locker (set to 1 minute), and have that set to override the system setting (set to 1 minute as well), and nothing seems to work.

Any ideas on how I can get my settings to stick? Has anyone even heard of such a thing happening?

I'm trying to update to netarchy's HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed from my current 1.17.651.1.

Here's my Software Information:

Firmware version: 2,1-update1
Baseband version: 1.36.00.04.02
Kernel version: 2.6.29-ac94cf60
Build number: 1.17.651.1 CL160858 test-keys

I used toastcfh's method to get full root and nand unlock. Can someone point to me to pretty stupified tutorial that will get me from where I am to where I want to go?

I've spent a couple hours scouring the forums and trying a couple different methods, but have failed miserably.

I appreciate your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Since you've gone through the toastfch tutorial already I assume you will know how to do the following already:

1. Boot into recovery

2. Do a nandroid backup

3. Wipe data, cache and dalvik (wiping data may not be necessary but I always do it to be safe*)

4. flash the new rom.zip file

5. Reboot

If you want to save your settings, ect I suggest doing a titanium backup before doing any of this because *YOU WILL LOSE ALL SETTINGS AND DATA (apps, ect).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
you would think so, but I don't know how to flash the rom. :S

when I select "apply sdcard:update.zip" after wiping the cache and data, I get this:

"-- Install from sdcard...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted."

I copied netarchy's rom to the sdcard (with the 2 radios) and renamed it to update.zip.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Don't rename the new rom to update.zip. Leave it as the default name and flash it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
Doesn't seem to make a difference. I tried it originally with the full filename, then tried the update.zip, and now I renamed it and tried it again with the full name, but still getting the same message.

Do I need to change my recovery version? If so, how?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
What recovery are you using? If you don't know, is the font blue or yellow (maybe orange - can't remember)?

Download netarchy's rom again, you shouldn't be failing the signature. And don't rename it this time. And delete any update.zip you have on the sd card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
The menu text is blue on the recovery menu.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
Done. Same error.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
You have clockworkmod recovery. Install amon ra recovery and try to flash your rom.

If you don't know how to install amon ra, the easiest way would be to download rom manager from the market and there should be an option to flash amon ra from the inside the app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
Cheers, mate. Will post back with results. I'm sure I screwed things up pretty good now, though. I just did the Simpleroot OTA 1.47... lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
Ok, so I still have SU, but ROM Manager keeps giving me "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Arghh....

update: unrevoked fixed permissions.

installed ra amon, but recovery text is still blue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Alright the easy way might not work for you. search for a guide that will get amon ra installed for you. I think that should solve your problems once you have it installed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
Got it all sorted now.

Turned out my nand unlock wasn't successful. Went back through toastcfh's past 2 and that sorted me out.

In the processing of flashing Fresh 3.1.0.1.

Will post back with the results tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skrypt:
Everything looks good. Got Fresh 3.1.0.1 up and running.

Only problem is that Titanium isn't recognizing my backup files, so now I've got to figure that out.

I appreciate your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
You did Simpleroot which is the first step in rooting..... reverting your software to a earlier method....if you go into the boodloader screen, your hboot version should say .0.76.xxx...then you need to to toast's method part 2 to obtain full root and gain super user permission, also when you do Toast part 2..it will upgrade you to the 1.47. But in the end I guess if unrevoked is working ok for you and you can flash roms...go for it. And last, you will find you may need to switch recoveries between RA and Clockworkmod...because some roms perfer one or the other.
[Droid X General] Reddog80p:
Anyone have any recommended settings for best picture quality? The out of the box settings seem to be taking pictures that are dark and a bit blurry/washed out and pixelated.
[Droid X General] Eirikr88:
i've noticed this myself as well. I've seen the picture threads and know what this can do, but I'm wondering if i have settings messed up.
[Droid X General] caffeineighted:
This may sound stupid, but if you haven't, wipe your lens off.
[Droid X General] eighty1:
I totally agree the pics are not 8MP quality IMO. I did wipe my lens off to make sure but it didnt make a diff. Not happy with my cam at all. I have taken a few good pics but for the most part they look blurry and very pixelated.
[Droid X General] ixobelle:
one of the biggest disappointments of my Eris was how awful the pictures were.

My DroidX is taking awesome photos, though. I tend to keep the photo mode in steady hand mode, and am pleased with the quality overall. I don't expect images taken on a cell phone to match my Canon KissX2 (called the EOS Rebel XSi in North America), but in a pinch it takes nice pictures with a little forethought.

Here's a sample over the car seat photo of my son having some onigiri in a moving car... resized to 25% in photoshop, then saved for web at max quality... the jpeg itself is 400k+ but compressing it would produce artifacts, and you're speaking of quality. I suppose I could have left it full size, but then it's like 2MB+. You get the idea.

[Droid X General] titos1997:
I use a program called Vignette seems to help a lot on the quality
[Droid X General] Big Dawg 23:
Mine works great. Yeah there are some blurry pictures but 85% are clear and crisp. I played with both 6mp and 8mp. The 6mp for widescreen looks nice on my Vizio.

I have played with Panaoramic however the downside is 2mp.
[Droid X General] mtxpert:
I bought Vignette last night and it takes awesome pictures.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
You just need a steady hand and play with the settings.
[Droid X General] Reddog80p:
Close ups with flash are very clear for me but anything thats over 6 ft away seem to have the blurriness issue. I also have a Droid Inc and it does not have the same issues.
[Droid X General] meshdub:
My photos are great with good lighting, but pics with flash just SUCK. But I expected that tbh...
[Droid X General] Reddog80p:
I purchased Vignette from the market for the Droid X and with the camera set to fixed focus it helps the picture taking tremendously. Seems that the auto focus from the stock camera app is having trouble focusing. I wish there was an option to disable it.
[Droid X General] fmcgirt:
I think that Vignette is absolutely a must have for really crisp pics. I am using the Steady Shot option with 8MP Superfine and the onscreen touch to take the shot and it has made a huge difference for me. Thanks for the hint on fixed focus, I'll give that a try next. Since we know the hardware can take really good pics maybe Motorola will get on the stick too and improve the Camera app.
[Droid X General] possomcrast:
original factory settings are at 6 mp's not 8
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
So I noticed on the replacement X I got today that the shutter over the lens was closed..... I looked at my old X that was off and it was OPEN!

So, I tuned to the camera on the new X and the shutter opened up right away, cool.

But I CANNOT for the life of me get the shutter to close other than while taking pictures?!?!

I do QA for a living, I THINK I FOUND A BUG MOTO......
[Droid X General] jackstiefel:
UHHHHHH, no bug buddy, always open.

U mean the brand new out of the box has the shutter closed, then when you turned it on it opened? Was prob stuck closed from having battery pulled after refurb.

If you are in QA and think this, you might want to look at a new field... Just saying.

[Shift General] dervish666:
I have it running on my shift as we speak, (well it was till the screen turned off, now it won't turn back on again though didn't really expect the power management to work tbh)

Wifi : Not working

bluetooth : Not working

3g : Not working

Screen : Res 640 x 480 x 16 works nicely

Touchpad : works

Volume keys : works

Haven't tried anything else as it is not very stable,

I used this build http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/froyo-vm-20100812.iso which works if you write to a disk using unetbootin and boot using the Vesa mode then choose 640 x 480 x 16 mode.

I would have thought that it should be perfectly possible to get the touchscreen working as we can now get ubuntu with touchscreen working 100% and I'm sure the htcpen drivers could be adapted for android. Don't know about the wifi or 3g though as there still are no working drivers for ubuntu.

I would love to have android on the shift, tbh probably would prefer on the winmo side and ubuntu on the x86 side, but even on the x86 side it will make an amazing tablet.

Debian for Desire.

If you are able to try this on another android device, please do as I will be very interested in the results.

Download

http://www.multiupload.com/79TSI1AAF9

You will need.

-Root access.

-Busybox (included in most custom roms)

-1.4gig free on SDCARD

-VNC Client (ie. AndroidVNC)

-Terminal Emulator (ie. ConnectBot)

-7zip

Instructions

-Extract the file deSIREbian.7z on your PC using 7zip.

-Copy the contents (debian.img and deboot) to root directory of SDCARD.

-On your phone in terminal emulator type

You should get a blank screen showing "localhost:/#" after a couple of seconds.

-On your phone in your VNC client log in using these details

Nickname and Address are not needed, call it what you want though.

Changing the colour to 24bit and enabling local mouse pointer and full screen bit map are not neccesary but reccomended.

-Thats it. :)

Notes.

-You can log in via ssh, (gives a much better terminal, ie works properly with aptitude). Use root@localhost and password "toor"

-The version of Debian is Armel Lenny, installed using debootstrap.

-It is just the base package with LXDE on top, you only get a desktop, a file browser, an internet browser, and a pic viewer.

-If you want more packages there's tonnes of room on the image. eg apt-get install openoffice.org or apt-get install abiword or apt-get install any flipping thing u want

-You can access the SDCARD from Debian at "root/sdcard" (read-write)

-You can access Debian filesystem from Android (When Debian is running) at "sdcard/debian" (read only)

-debian.img is mounted at "sdcard/debian" using "dev/block/loop5"

-So far the only rom i have come accross that this dont work with is one of the cyanogen nightlies from last week. apart from that, working on opendesire, cyanogen, defrost, leedroid, official 2.2 with busybox...

Issues.

Debian cannot be shut down. You need to reboot the phone to do this. (You can kill the VNC server with "vncserver -kill :1" there is an icon on the festoons to do this.)

Update log.

deSIREbain.

-First release.

deSIREbain2

Fixed

-Loading a second terminal no longer breaks vnc.

-You no longer need to create the folder debian on sdcard.

Added

-ssh server (login with root and toor)

Removed.

-The image has been downsized from 2 gig to 1.4
