assuming you have it rooted, you still

need to login to your Gmail account in Android Market

else the installer will not work, it will say DONE but it did nothing.

the only way to install properly is via Android Market busy box
[Droid Incredible General] jpiermarini:
Hi there,

Not sure if this is the right place to be asking this question but i'll give it a try.

I am running handcent on my incredible for handling my sms, I have this odd problem where handcent just stopped recognizing messages from one of my contacts. Is there anyway to get it to start recognizing it again?

This happened to me back in june and I ended up resetting the phone to get it back working again. I really don't want to do that. My phone isn't rooted or anything so everything on it is stock. any suggestions would be great.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
I had a similar issue once and it was caused by the area code. I didn't have it listed as part of the number for my contact, IIRC.
[Droid Incredible General] jpiermarini:
I do have the area code listed, i also tried deleting the contact from my phone and recreate it.
[Droid Incredible General] TheWhiteBandito:
Could you have possibly "blacklisted" the contact? If so, none of the SMS's will show up in the main screen until you Check off "Show Blacklist" in settings under Security and Privacy.
[Droid Incredible General] jpiermarini:
That's what it was. i have not idea how he got on my black list, looks like i had a few other contacts black listed as well. Figures it was something so simple.

The original thread can be found here ... And all credits for this go to chopsui for an amazing LWP!! Enjoy.... CR

PS... My setup for this on CM6 is tunnel set to white, cubes set to blue only.... Try it for urself and find what u like...
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] heybobitsme:
Ooh...

It runs pretty good too! :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] Stratis1978:
Amazing!
[myTouch 3G Slide Themes and Apps] HighSnobility:
This looks cool.

i got a class 6, 4gig card at kmart for like 9.99 on sale..seems to good of a price. how can i check to see what my sd card speed atually is?

thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] OrionBG:
Put it in a Card Reader and then run CristalMark on it! Be sure to select 100MB test file or the test will continue for eternity!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dvigue:
how about if i dont have a card reader?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ehartung:
Which card should i Use?

Which of the 2 cards should I use?

The only con of the 4GB is that the seq write is slower than the 8gb. I've attached the tests.

Thanks

ok so my mt3gs is rooted blah blah blah but it wont book to clockwrk thrw the rom manger it just comes up with a triangel and the ! mark (cant spell it) my question is y ? do i need to flash the eng spl or what ? thanks in advanced
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
Yes, you do.

Edit: And your post would be Q&A, not development.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poacher2010:
Did u try pressing volume down and power at the ! Screen? I know clockwork usually comes up directly using rom manager, but you can still get to clockwork that way.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstevens86:
You need to update the recovery from rom manager.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
None of these suggestions are going to do any good if he hasn't the flashed the engineering image.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rok0187:
ok just relized its in the wrong section and yea i read some wear u didnt need to flash the eng spl but i guess i have to so off to do that
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
I did previously flash the ENG build and I have to go through the first part of the root process every time I want to use Clockwork. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rok0187:
for real well iam not in any rush to flash the eng spl so i think iam just stick with the push methoid
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
Why would you not flash the eng? It takes 5 minutes that save on asking repetitive questions. Many people will tell you that you DON'T need to flash it, but if everybody flashed the eng build, everytime there was a problem people wouldn't have to ask, "Did you flash the eng build?" Kind of a time-saver and yes it irons out ALL the kinks other than user error.

The belief that it WASN'T necessary was started by Wes Garner because one of his ROMS never installed correctly, but to this day, it still remains uninstallable...so it has nothing to do with the eng build being the prob.

Just my 2 cents, bro.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
The engineering rom being optional is like saying leaving gas in your car is optional. I mean, sure, you could always leave it empty and walk to the gas station with a can and come back every time you wanted to start it, but its a heck of a lot easier if you just leave some gas in the tank for next time. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
Tick...tick...tick....

BOOM!!!!! goes the ATOM BOMB! :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstevens86:
is the update.zip file on your memory card. If it is then all you have to do is flash the update.zip from the recovery menu or just use rom manager
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
It is on my SD card but I have to do the adb loop process and push the update after unsuccessfully flashing the update just like the first time I rooted. Rom Manager is not getting me into Clockworkmod recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstevens86:
did you use eugene's eng on your phone or wes's champion build
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
Pretty sure it was Eugene's. I also later ran the corrected .nbh file.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
What an odd typo. I meant the ESPRIMG.zip.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
You have restored your phone back to stock recovery doing that. You need to reinstall the engineering image.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstevens86:
Yeah Falken is right reinstall the engineering image. And that should solve it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleef:
Even before I ran the ESPRIMG.zip I couldn't get straight into Clockworkmod.

Thanks for helping, by the way. I have to go into work now but I'll give re-flashing the ENG build later.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstevens86:
Just make sure you keep the update.zip on your sd. It didn't let you get straight into clockwork anyway. You need rom manager or bootloader to recovery then update.zip will get you in everytime with the ENG build
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ozkaya:
OK, everybody is claiming that low in call volume is fixed after 3/8 kernel, but try this: dial a number by keypad (with dial pad tones enabled) and make a call. listen to the volume level. Then disable dial pad tones and call again. there should be a huge difference in volume level. You can experiment the same thing by quickly enabling and disabling speakerphone while in a call. I guess the problem is, when a sound is played back (like a ringtone or dialpad tone) in call volume is reduced for a short time. This can be eliminated for outgoing calls by disabling dial pad tone or waiting 2 seconds before pressing call. But for incoming calls, even disabling ringtone is no good. I also tried LVH v3.6 to boost the in call volume but no good. I tried almost all builds, ROM and radio combinations. With the new kernels, all have this problem. The most important function for me is the phone part, anyone has a solution for this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maseo:
Did you really need to make a new thread for this? Couldn't this been posted in one of the -post your questions here- topic?

Fix: No, there's no obvious fix (yet). Best fix is to use the supplied (or custom) ear-piece. Never any problem with that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ozkaya:
I felt the need to make a new thread as the old threads were referring to old kernels and most people tend to read only the first post. I wanted to present my observations, which I believe are not stated before, in the original post. Sorry for bothering you and thanks for the info.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maseo:
I understand why you'd want to open a new thread for this, but this topic will just as much go down under as soon as it's solved or (more not-so-useless) threads get added later on.

Your observations + results could be stickied/hotlinked in the answer topic if they seem to be right-on the money. That way we keep it all nice and tidy, ánd more people would find a quick answer ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xkravenx:
I have the same exact problem. I hope there is a fix for this soon. Searched multiple times, but haven't found any answer.

I notice when you pick up an incoming call. The volume starts from soft and goes a little louder after about 2-3 seconds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RowinnDinosaur:
hi im also suffering from a low in call volume as well with my HD2 has there been any way to resolve this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
iam facing low rington and media volume , i can hardly hear my ringtone when on other room
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuppaacc:
I disagree with maseo I found this thread useful,

THANKS DUDE :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jays3l33t:
hey, try this

when u wait for the other side to pick up the phone or u pressed the answer button when a call comes in

press on the Speaker button to use the speaker phone, then turn it off

repeat it again once

your volume will get lounder just like in WM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AlCapone:
Edit: oops. it was just a hardware failure, the front speaker had bad connection, there are another speaker in the chassis that worked.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Mikemcdold:
thanks

i press the speaker on & off and then is more louder. i wish this will be fix soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RickyS94:
IT WORKS!!

Hey, so I was/am having this problem but i tried the mute/unmute during a call and it worked. Incoming and outgoing. Only problem is seems to be low every new phone call. So i have to do the mute/unmute at the beginning of each call for it to be ok!

Hopefully there is a permanent fix soon?

Thanks for the post.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dennis.vallente:
I have this same problem. I read somewhere someone having a fix on this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dennis.vallente:
One more thing, any of you guys had the robo-voice?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SecondNipple:
Got the same issue. Still no fix out there?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomagik:
Does anyone know of a way I can install the original Froyo Dialer including the in-call screen on a Sense rom effectively overwriting the Sense Dialer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomagik:
I would really appreciate a bit of a steer on this.

Can it be done simply by extracting the dialer via adb from a stand-alone Froyo rom and pushing it to a Sense rom. If so, which files would I pull/push?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomagik:
I see that some sense roms now have the option of choosing between the sense or android dialer but both still have the sense in-call screen. I need to completely remove the sense dialer and in-call screen so that it is only the android version.

Can someone please let me know if this is possible. The sense in-call screen causes terrible echo with my bluetooth car kit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomagik:
Someone must be able to help??? If only to say that it's possible or not??
[Captivate Android Development] mykenyc:
Ha! it worked thanks dude you should rename this thread with brackets. " [Fix][Lag] Alternative by {author name} - alpha " .. so it can gain more attention. Just we need two more fixes GPS and my attenna issues then i'm good with my captivate.

[edit]omg my phone is flying see this is how my phone should have been out the box it flies!
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
rebooting from this now. I should not that I had to run the shell script manually because it kept not prompting me for SU...? No biggy though.

Will test, can't post screen from work though.

Edit: running quadrant....

Edit: ... *thud* 1961, 2237 ( FB, gmail, etc were running & syncing in background last time!)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Title change done!

Glad this is working for you guys, I've tried every fix so far and this one is MILES ahead of the others in terms of real world improvement (At least for me).
[Captivate Android Development] mykenyc:
I agree! waking up this morning in fear of being fired from my job, this made my day a little lol. :D
[Captivate Android Development] LockeCPM4:
Besides downloading the .zip file, do i need anything else?

Also, i am assuming we install this by booting into recovery mode?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mykenyc:
Nope just run lagfixme.bat this in the zip file, run and leave your phone screen on so you can see the root request permission.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Nope, you don't need anything else. Also nope, no recovery mode shenanigans, just unzip the file, turn on debugging mode on your phone, plug her in, and run the batch file!
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
Also you MUST undo any prior lag fix
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
again, those high quadrant scores mean nothing unless you get no lag in real world testing. Such tests can be done in the following apps: Dolphin HD browser, facebook, twitter, touchdown, k-9 email

All common applications that have serious lag on the SGS. Assuming that this method does fix I/O problems (Especially the I/O quadrant tests), there should be no lag in those apps. Anyone try?

I noticed this in the original thread:

Sounds good, I'll give it a try
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I know you have your reservations about these fixes, and you've been very vocal about your opinions on the matter. I happen to agree with you on most points, but as someone who has tried all of these, I can tell you this doesn't feel like the placebo effect. I'll install DolphinHD and toy with it, but everything I've messed with so far seems much snappier. Feel free to try it yourself, it literally takes less than 5 minutes to install, and is completely reverse able.

Edit: So far with dolphin HD things feel snappy, the only exception is pages absolutely laden with flash lite ads... but that's not really an I/O issue, if you've got any particular web site recommendations I'd be glad to check them out and let you know my mileage
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
So far so good, I recently erased my phone (130mb lag fix not big enough). And this is working wonderfully so far, dolphon browser HD(my favorite browser) works very fast. So far so good, I'll report back when I've tried it for the whole day.
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
Thanks! I'll give it a try as I don't like being tied down to 130mb for application storage using the NAND fix.

Basic usage should be snappy:

- opening\closing\switching tabs

- scrolling with the volume buttons

- pinch zooming

- loading multiple pages

On stock, and even mimocan's fix, it would lag horrible to the point of unusability.

The only way to make it run smoothly and quickly was to move all your /data/ to the /dbdata/ on the NAND (but limited to 130mb of app space)
[Captivate Android Development] LockeCPM4:
I guess my install question wasnt answered. You said run the .BAT file, do i run it on my pc? And what software on the pc side must i have installed?

Thanks for helping a noob!
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
Tested:

Gmail, FB (official), GVoice, messaging, TWC, stock browser, andoku (yeah, I can SEE it faster. and thats a simple app!)
[Captivate Android Development] tbae2:
Plug it into your pc making sure the USB debugging is on. Download the zip file, extract all of it. Run the Lagfixme.bat and make sure you leave the phone screen on (tap it if low time out) to accept the super user permission request. After that it will finish on it's own. Just reboot the phone by shutting it down. The zip file contains all the necessary files.

Edit: and make sure your phone is rooted / has the drivers installed!
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
The zip file actually contains a copy of the adb as needed, so other than the drivers to be able to connect via USB Debugging, nada.
[Captivate Android Development] naplesbill:
All I can say is wow. Definitely not placebo. Certain apps used to take forever to initialize (i.e. Facebook, Market). They now start up almost instantly.

I have not tried any of the other "fixes" because to me they break more than they fix. I don't want to use my external SD in a way that makes it non-swappable and I don't want to be restricted to 130mb for apps. This fix is the best so far. I'm guessing it may not be necessary once we have Froyo (double the RAM) but it does the trick for now.
[Captivate Android Development] dougp.me:
Seemingly didn't work for me, my Quadrant scores are still sitting at 948. I'm on the stock ROM, and undid the previous speed fix I had.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
It was answered:

You need root

Download zip file- unzip it.

Put phone into debug mode and plug in USB

run the included .bat file from the zip file and it will do the rest for you.

It has it's own adb.exe but you might need to install the SDK if you haven't already. That's it though.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
Are you rooted?

If so, the next thing is to toggle off mounting your phone for file copying (If the drives are mounted to windows ADB can't modify the contents).
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
You didn't read what I said did you? Android doesn't unmount anything but the sdcard on shutdown, so you might as well be pulling the battery every time. And journaling in a parent file system does nothing inside the image file you've created. That's why having a separate image makes this faster.

Furthermore, reading the original thread in the I9000 section, the OP mentions "no need to deal with /data" and "the major thing is /dbdata/databases". Do you know why? Because the DB read and write are boosting the scores in Quadrant, and not in real life. Quadrant does an INCREDIBLY fast file system speed test which could never actually give a solid file system speed testing, so the increased DB scores are likely the reason for the boosted scores, and then you have a fast benchmarking phone that acts nearly no different in real life since DB writes and reads are a very small and fast part of what you do on a daily basis, and writing larger amounts of data is what takes more time.

YOU can be happy with your phone if you want, but I'm trying to warn you all that having a really high Quadrant score means nothing in this case and is at the expense of your phone's stability.
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
@hellwynn

Was the sdcard mounted to the PC/mac?

(yeah... SU did that to me too...)
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I think what it all boils down to is: We're using file systems that were never intended to be used for devices as volatile as cellular phones. Ext3/4 will eventually screw up your flash memory from continually writing the same blocks for journaling, and EXT2 will break down over time due to the lack of journaling- EXT2, at least in my opinion wins due to the fact that no permanent damage is done, and the phone can be restored to functionality through either a nandroid image or just a rewipe- if your internal media gets hosed you're up the creek.

IDEALLY we'd be in a good place if we could get something like YAFFS as it's actually DESIGNED to function on flash media, but doesn't include the horrific performance of RFS
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
Please guys, seriously reconsider this fix unless someone can prove me wrong. But I read through the oneclick thread and other people feel the same way.
[Captivate Android Development] Hellwynn:
Got it to take this time, thanks guys that was my problem. Will post results shortly.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
this man is completely right, listen to him. You guys are blinded by high numbers.
[Captivate Android Development] max_warheads:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext2:

I understand the journaling argument.. but that is a two way street.

We've disabled atime and mtime, reducing the writes further..
[Captivate Android Development] novaIS350:
No more start up lag for me.
[Captivate Android Development] SlimJ87D:
But is it smart to do all this stuff on the internal memory card?

I just think it's smarter to use an external memory card.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
We're not blinded by fast numbers. I've tried all the fixes, including the ext3/ext4 kernel fixes and saw no improvement outside of quadrant, in addition got fun little problems like 3-4 second lag out of sleep. This fix actually DOES improve real life performance, the phone operates faster- period.

Quadrant can give a placebo effect, I agree, but this fix actually improves performance. I'll update the OP a little bit to give people further warning that the file system can/will degrade over time and frequent backups are recommended.
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
I'd like to see someone who can show numbers of a phone dying from using a certain file system. Wear balancing has been in existence for YEARS, and allows flash media to be good for FAR longer than you're going to keep this phone. I've yet to read a report that made it sound like anything you do could kill flash media within a few years.

However, I can tell you for sure that using ext2 will corrupt your files, and probably won't take long either. It'll all depend on what exactly was happening when it was unmounted as to whether you'll get noticeable corruption tomorrow, or maybe years from now. It'd be impossible to say, but it may start with random crashes here or there, or corrupt files, there's no telling.

All I'm saying is that people who know what's going on have said several times that ext2 is a bad idea (people like Cyanogen), and people who don't even really know what they are talking about are the ones saying it's not bad. You decide who to listen to. I'd personally much rather take the chance that somehow I'm going to wear out my memory within the 2 or 3 years (max) I'm going to have this phone rather than the good chance that files will get corrupt using ext2 and I'll have 100 more points on my Quadrant score.

Possible problem with fix found

So I loaded up my browser, the stock loaded internal one...and everything went fine (google.com is my homepage) and it acquired my location just fine and asked if i would like to search near me, and when I do follow the drop down links in the search near me by my listed location i get an error that also shows up when I click the "Local" link on the google homepage on my phone.

Error is as follows:

---------------------------------

Failed getting media.

Technical Description.

Content error - the requested file was too large for conversion in the Gateway/Proxy
