Hey, pardon the ignorance, but is there any reason why someone couldn't load the RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_rele ase_171253.exe (the first or second RUUs) first and then achieve root the old fashioned, easy way?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
If you have 2.2, it won't let you flash the older RUUs. If you have 1.47, there are problems where it finds a newer ROM already on it and gives a "Main Version is Older" error. Search, you'll see a lot of talk about that phrase. But it can be done from 1.47, it just takes some finagling. (Hey, I got through spell-checker the first time with that word! :) )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poops:
It's worth a finagle methinks :) Thanks a lot for you reply!

Hey, I am currently using an Evo i got from a friend who got his at Google IO. My problem is that I am currently still on build 1.32.651.1 but when I try to check for OTA updates in the settings, it says my phone is up-to-date. Is there a way for me to force update? Or can I get the update roms somewhere? I found the 1.47 update rom but it updates from 1.32.651.6 which doesnt help me.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XmentalX:
the 1.47 rom can be installed over any rom version as it will overwrite any past files so you can safely update from 1.32.651.1 with no problem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkatsev:
XmentalX: I tried flashing that rom on but it said that it failed to verify whole-file signature. I am guessing it is because the 1.47 rom I found was for upgrading from 1.32.651.6 build while I had the earlier 1.32.651.1 build.

does that not bring me to a rooted 1.47? If possible, for now, i'd like to stay unrooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XmentalX:
If you don't install the super user zip you will not have root
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkatsev:
Ok, thanks. I will try that then.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaEVO:
I think your confused. To my knowledge you cannot flash drive roms/updates manually without having root, via Clock work Mod (Nandroid). I tried updating via .zips from SD before rooting and installing clockwork mod and I was getting the same error. Why don't you want to root anyway? If you try to update using the OTA, you can't do froyo until the 3rd, if their even still releasing it. IF you don't want to root, your looking on the wrong web site. GO try HTC's site or Sprint. They can help you out since your still STOCK unrooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XmentalX:
on the older roms you can flash via hboot by putting the PC36IMG.zip on the root of the sd card and pressing vol down + power

they patched that on 1.47 but you can still downgrade and do it no problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkatsev:
I am not opposed to root but I have not seen anything that I really wanted that required root. Also, you are right, perhaps asking HTC/sprint directly first would be helpful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkatsev:
so, after a quick email with HTC, it seems that they do not officially support dev devices and thus no OTA updates. Thanks for your help.

Tried posting this in the creator's thread but no go. Maybe someone has seen it before and will know.

In the top bar of this theme, there is an ear icon where the battery should be. If I plug in USB then the charging battery takes its place. What is it? (Advanced question - How do I get rid of it?)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
That's for hearing aid mode.

Menu/Settings/Call/Hearing Aid

When enabled it boots audio for deaf people.

Alternatively, you have a buggy custom ROM.

[Droid X General] tx3kgtman:
I just got my droid x a few days ago and I'm having problems with battery life. I work 12 hour days at a state penitentiary which cell phones are not allowed to enter the building. My phone is rooted and I have about 8 bloatware apps removed like blockbuster, skype, ect in case that matters at all. My typical day is waking up at 4 AM unplugging my phone fully charged. I get to work at 5 AM and between 4-5AM I prolly send one text and sometimes visit one website. So at 5AM my phone is in standby mode until I take a lunch and come out to my car between 12-2. So the phone is on around 9 hours so far but not used much at all. Today I took my lunch at 1PM and when I pulled my phone out my battery was at 15%. The battery ussage is like 72% cell standby, 14% screen, and like 14% Phone idle. I checked my signal strength at work and it was like 99-102 dBm which I beleive sucks. Also today was very hot 100+F so that might also play a factor but I came from a iphone 4 last week that went through the same daily routine and never had battery problem (of course att may have had better reception at work which used less battery). So what do yall think? Is it because of the poor signal strength that runs the battery down within that time even though its in standby? Is there a problem with my phone?
[Droid X General] gefahr:
I know this isn't really a fix per se, but any reason not to put it in airplane mode?
[Droid X General] tx3kgtman:
yeh thats what Im going to try tomarrow. Just weird my wife has the same phone and in a full day of her using her phone it still has 70% battery life when Mine is in standby all day and it dies. But I do work at a prison out in the middle of nowhere and im sure the reception it very bad but i didnt think that would cause a phone in standby to go from 100% to almost dead without using it. Guess ill figure it out tomarrow when I try airplane mode.
[Droid X General] thorpe24:
Try juice defender
[Droid X General] jboris:
Try turning off GPS. That made my standby mode last 10x longer.
[Droid X General] tsanuri:
Just a thought are you using handcent? I was until 2 days ago after do some tracking it appears that it was not acting well with something and my battery died very quickly. Since my wife has it on her phone as well I am guessing it is with something else I have DLed but since my wife has not gotten many apps I have a hard time finding out what it might be. But changed to chomp yesterday and at the end of a 16 hour day while taking 130+ pics along with texting browsing ect was at 60%.
[Droid X General] Ezun:
Are you using an exchange account to sync email? I found that when I leave the exchange email sync set to "push" or "as arrive" (or whatever that setting is) it totally drained my battery. However, when I set it to sync every 15 min my battery life improved probably 2x.
[Droid X General] dr154:
battery usage all depends how the user phone is setup, if you have email clients with push activate, that will drain battery, having gps location on will drain battery, screen brightness will drain battery, widget that update though internet(3g, edge) will drain battery and etc; take all that into account and try out the battery manager on the phone that turns off data connection after 30mins of inactivity.

[Captivate General] nfsplayer99:
Hey I was wondering if it was possible to put on apps that I download online and install them on my captivate without rooting.

I know other phones have that check box thing to allow the installation of third party apps, but at&t was stupid and took this off.

I just don't want to root in case I return the phone, because rooting voids the warranty...right? Unless there's a way to unroot the phone and not letting at&t know that I rooted it in the first place...

Thanks
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Download the Android SDK and open the tools directory on terminal or the windows equivalent.

Then if you are on a UNIX based system type:

./adb install [location of .apk]

it should then install (note to make sure that you include a / before the file path

eg: /android/apks/app.apk vs. android/apks/app.apk

on a windows pc type:

adb install [location of .apk]
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
So you want to know how to pirate apps?
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I think he means apps that you can't find on the market such as slideme apps
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Search for the "side load" and you will find a couple for very long threads that give you alternate ways of doing this.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
He mentioned apps he would normally pay for. That made me think he was talking about pirating.
[Captivate General] nfsplayer99:
Well you're both kind of correct.

I know how to find the paid apps, it's just that I don't know how to install them. I'm not sure what those slideme apps are, so I'm not talking about that. I just mean apps that are on the market, but I don't want to pay for them.

Maybe sideloading is the answer...I thought that required rooting, but I'll go look into that. I'll look into the Android SDK thing later too, I just have been avoiding that because I was reading about it earlier and it looked long and confusing.

edit: ok so I'm under the impression side loading is for 3rd party apps, ie apps not sold/offered in the android market, which is not what I'm looking for.

Unless of course this method works with paid apps too?
[Captivate General] nbs11:
It does still work with paid apps. I do not know where you find those though.

A word of caution though. Not only is pirating paid apps illegal, it is also just plain wrong. People can argue that pirating music is ok, so I wont go into that. However, applications require hours upon hours of the developers time and effort, so pirating the app is on par with stealing.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
-1 for blatent pirating. get outa hur.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
agreed. its against the rules of XDA and its just wrong
[Captivate General] nfsplayer99:

[General Questions and Answers] joshw0000:
I've noticed a big speed difference on Froyo. I believe it partially opens all (or most) apps in the background so they'll open and process faster. I'm not 100% sure how that works, but yes it's faster on my phone.

It does have it's own tast manager in the settings but that was also in 2.1.
[General Questions and Answers] joshw0000:
You have the option to move downloaded apps to the sd card. You must be careful not to move any that you are using widgets with or they'll have errors when you reboot or connect to the computer (because the sd is unmounted)

I haven't noticed a jitter. But I believe that's all dependant on what home launcher you use. I use Launcher Pro.
[General Questions and Answers] AdrianK:
Yes, you can move apps without the 'protected' flag to the SD card. Pretty much all commercial apps are 'protected, but many hefty apps such as games allow you to dump game content to the SD card whilst keeping the launcher app protected.

Yes, it does :-(

It's working great, but not for pressing the power key like you said, only for EndKey... I prefer to use my EndKey to lock my device on a long press. It will be very usefull if this app will work with power key :rolleyes:

Thanks, hopping you will find a great solution even for replacing the small time clock on the up-right with an "x" or something to be possible to close a running program. And, ofcourse, something to close automatically "data connection" when the Mini is locked (nobody want to spend money for internet connection when the phone is not used...).

Thanks again, maestro!
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] emrause:
for closing the program (having a Task manager and the "x" button) first you can enable the Start and "X" button on bottom bar by modifying these registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\BubbleTiles]

"TextModeEnabled"=dword:00000001

"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001

"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:00000001

set all 3 values to 0

then I use the uTask 1.4 dated 260311 for HDmini (HVGA resolution) - can be find here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838858

then assign the Home button to task manager of your choice (I'm using nsourm ROM with Arkswitch cooked in)

uTask can also configure the "x" button to close the program instead of minimizing.

Good Luck

On 2.1 (standard Vodafone stock ROM), when playing music it would pause while the sat nav was speaking out directions and then resume.

Now on 2.2 (Both beta and todays official release) the music will stop when the sat nav is giving directions but it won't resume afterwards.

Can anyone tell me if its just a fault with my handset, or if its happening to all 2.2 handsets, as it is a major annoyance for me!
