[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
Thanks for the replies guys.

@Quazis

intresting that you mentioned leedroid. i too had flashed that and to think of it i bleieve i've had problems since then when i wanted to revert to modaco's 2.2 official fro-yo release.

thanks for a reply to the matter. when i boot pressing volume down and power into the bootloader, then select recovery from there, press power to select and then i do not press any buttons until recovery is installed. but i will try again.

@LennyUK

whats perma flashing?

i have flashed using unrevoked and i have to select a custom recovery image and select the SLCD image.

could you please explain further?

i have also tried to redo this process when booting into recovery failed using other attempts.

thanks for your help guys :)

i may create a gold card and flash the generic RUU with hboot 0.83 onto the vodafone branded desire and then unrevoke that in an attempt to fix the problem
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
hi guys,

hallo to everybody, greats job here!

I'm just wondering witch is the right recovery image to use with unrevoked 3.1, I tried to use the default one and when I go into recovery mode my screen become black and I must to remove the battery before going on.

someone can please help me?

regards

Miniera77
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Well with Unrevoked once used you boot holding volume down and power

It then opens the HBOOT screen, wait for it to do its weird loading thing then select "recovery" using volume keys and hit the power button, the phone should then say "HTC" and should then proceed to boot into your recovery (I use Amon-Ra this way and then clockworkmod if I need it via rom manager).

I have not had any issues getting into recovery this way at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
Hi Lenny,

thanks a lot for your answer!

...my problem is that when I do the procedure you've written:

- root by unrevoked

- holding volume down and power

- waiting till SD checks

- select Recovery by power button

...I can see the HTC screen and after that everything is black, the phone power off by itself and I cannot see any Recovery Menu. Than I must to remove my battery to be able to use again the phone.

I've tried once with clockworkmod recovery image and once with Amon-Ra but nothing change... I really don't know how to going on!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

thanks a lot!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
Miniera,

I think you have the SLCD version of the phone. If you're using the stock image, it won't work cause that's for AMOLED screens.

If you goto the Desire development section, there's a tutorial in there how to root SLCD version of the Desire with HBOOT 0.83. See what you can find in there and I'm sure you can get it to work :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Or re-use Unrevoked, it has the SCLD compatible version of clockwork now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quazis:
I wish I could find change logs to this!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
me too lol

i will try unrevoked again (for linux) and see if this looses my recovery screen blank or not. if it does i will flash the SLCD.img version again.

again could someone explain what prema flashing is please? lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
well just flashed

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-froyo-pre-rooted-no-hboot-with-radio-deodex/

and everything works fine. except the recovery issue caused by the leedroid rom.

it took me 15 attempts to boot into recovery :(

got there and flashed this. and everything flies. sadly i had to reboot as i wanted to adb push some files from another build into this and well it took me a further 7 attempts to boot into recovery.

wish there was a fix for this :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miniera77:
I cannot use unrevoked now, I can switch on the phone only on boot mode (vol down + power button) but not able tu use recovery mode (no menu, black screen)...

grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
flash using the SLCD clockworkmod.img file found in the 0.83 hboot root guide in the development section. you will then see the menu
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Nino9:
Just to update if anyone else reads. flashed the WWE 2.1 T2 for hboot 0.83 on and then re-rooted. fixed the problem and roots into recovery every time.

leedroid blames on bad nand sectors. i doubt a new desire will come with such a defect. but im not going to insult his work because its good, maybe not for me but its still damn good!

in the end ive solved my problem

Which should I get from ATT?

Captivate or Xperia X10?

I know ATT Network Sux, but I am attached to my FAN# and Corp#.

Plus on a family plan, which 2 more than does not expire in 1 years or so.

Got this option to upgrade at 2 year $$$ for a choice of 1 year extension.

Captivate comes with Android 2.1 / Xperia X10 comes with 1.6

Captivate got latest Hardware components but lacks Flash for camera.

Xperia got better camera + with Flash

I got a spare 32GB MicroSD card to use, so internal memory does not matters much.

But which to choose and stuck for 1 year extension?

Anyone got an suggestions?
[General Topics] htc fan89:
If you are ok with no mt and late updates then go with x10. But for me x10 is very good even if its running 1. 6

Sent from my X10a

Multi-touch, I only had ATT Tilt and BB Storm, using Multi-touch I have not been looking for it much. But it will be good to have.

Is the X10 for ATT software enable? or Hardware Disable? Do you know?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chad_Petree:
I find it BEYOND strange that samsung hasnt addressed this as an issue, well get froyo but will froyo fix this? i dont think so , in order to fix ALL THE GALAXY S phones samsung would have to format the phones, and how would they achive that? i dont think an update will fix this :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spybreak:
I was just thinking about this today. We have seen that the main issue with the lag is that the filesystem sucks, so to fix it they would have to change the whole filesystem to ext or whatever, this means wiping the phone as I don't think there is a reliable way of changing the filesystem without deleting the data inside.

I doubt Samsung would release and update that requires users to delete all the data in their devices, so....who knows. As far as I know they haven't even acknowledged the lag problem yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MOJO783010:
who knows , maybe they'll recommend a "keis backup :D " (with a few extra HA HA HA's on the side) before wipe:).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danamoult:
Do you guys not read other SGS sections? :/

Go to the SGS Android Development forums, you will find 2-3 threads with lag fixes that people have used and have found to be very helpful, almost completely removing the lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spybreak:
It's not about the fixes that we have available now, but about seeing if Samsung officially fixes the issue. No matter how good the community fixes are, they are "hacks" that are not as good as Samsung actually fixing the problem, hopefully in the same way, but changing the phone's filesystem to ext.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's fixed already in the latest firmware official JH2
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Is that from Samsung or a community firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
from Samsung Kies

but you can get it from samsung firmware .com as usual as well
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
I have never been able to get Kies to see my phone and gave up on it. So is this a whole new ROM?

I notice running quadrant my phone sits on the i/o test for about a min or more.. its pretty sad a phone this powerful is gimped so badly in that way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
that's part of the new fix in the full new rom
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spybreak:
I can't find JH2 on Samsung-firmwares.com nor can I see any post on the forum confirming it has been fixed. Any hints?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MOJO783010:
that' s for Captivate, and as the I9000 and Captivate are not 100% the same thing i don' t recommend flashing this.

Spybreak That's for Captivate, don't flash. A new firmware will be out in less then a week for SGS , probably the same firmware as the captivate only for sgs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spybreak:
Yeah, I just realized that looking at the Captivate forums. Good to know it seems to have been officially fixed. Now let's see how long it takes them to release that firmware for Europe.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it's not for captivate, it is for the i9000m

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/Vibrant_GT-I9000M

which is the same as the i9000

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000

it's in the development section
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Ok, I got Kies working this time. And it says there is a firmware upgrade. JH2.

Is this safe?

NM I found the other thread about it. Installing. Weee.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DougEdey:
They're quite happy to do that actually, I got a brand new i9000 on Bell on Tuesday, I got an update today (their method of delivering these updates leaves a LOT to be desired) and it factory reset my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TriC_101:
That's because it was a full flash not just an update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Yea it did wipe the phone. Not a huge deal.

Phone is definetly smoother, I'm happy.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xZeDgEx:
Phone is smoother for sure. Quadrant is not much faster but it does not hang on the i/o tests like before. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chad_Petree:
thats the point why do we have to try different methods , we want it to work perfectly out of the box, or at least some minor bugs not bugs HUGE like this :confused: , btw this "design flaw/software flaw" only affects the galaxy s or affects the captitative,vibrant, epic 4g?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gnarlyc:
If you are wanting to run Windows Mobile on your Eris, it probably not going to happen. WinMo is not open source like Android. It's going to be much more difficult to port WinMo to a device that Microsoft hasn't ported it to. I'm sure that there is someone or a very few multiple someones who have the knowledge and skills, but they also have to be motivated to spend their free time working on it. It would really surprise me if it happened.

This is so funny, because of you=). You must read description, and posts by people, who installed this or that rom, witch your are looking for. The best rom is here http://www.gizmonder.com/2011/03/android-22-huawei-u8230.html (with no bugs and lags), you can translate it to your language using google translator. Huawei u8230 is very rare model, so no one is working hard about this phone.

I have downloaded the kingklick kernel and there is OC'ing available. It is capable of being OC'ed around 1.1ghz or so. Now I purchased the SetCPU from the market and I was wondering what to do next? Im afraid to just try to fool around with some stuff and mess up my phone. Anyone able to help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
go to setCPU and and click the about tab (i think thats what its called) the dev put a nice info page together that describes the ropes.

Other than that, it is pretty basic (although full of awesomeness). Just set the governor (how the cpu scaling is performed) and set the min max.

But the info page should describe most. There is also information around somewhere that goes more in-depth I am sure
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
this page helped me

http://www.pokedev.com/setcpu/#7

also, if you search around for 'setcpu profiles' and such, you can see where folks have posted their configs. look around in the thread of your favorite ROM, chances are folks are playing with setcpu in there...look for a couple that sound like they have a clue and ask them if they use setcpu (i'm thinking a direct message, not a thread posting) if they'd send you a screenshot to help jump start your understanding of the app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dictionary:
First off, thanks to Daneshm90 for both of his ThemePort.bat file, and his Update.bat file. Without those, this wouldn't have come to fruition. Also want to thank Ryanmo5 for his 2.10.2 port here. Also, to the originator of this theme, cubanaso here.

Now, the file is HUGE (99mb+). I have no idea how to just create an update for the theme only. Every attempt I've been making, has ended up failing on write. This will be the entire 2.11.3 build, themed already. You can just flash it on top of your current build. Sorry about that. If anyone would like to PM me on how to do this, it would be great.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equid0x:
How is your 3G reception on the Vibrant? I just purchased a Vibrant as a replacement for my aging and bluetooth handicapped G1 and I am disappointed with the 3G reception.

T-Mobile's coverage in my area is moderate, and the G1 has been able to hold on to a 3G signal in most locations. Typically, at home the G1 will hold on to 2-3 bars of 3G, and at work I am lucky to get 1 -- usually camps out on 2G with 4 or 5 bars.

The Vibrant pretty much always shows 0 bars of 3G while indoors, and may even flop back to 2G. It is fairly consistently on 2G in my home at 2 bars and at work I can only get 1 bar of 2G with this phone and spend the majority of the time with no signal at all.

I sat down and did some comparison between the Vibrant and the G1 and have found the following:

1. *#*#4636#*#* menu shows significantly worse signal levels on the Vibrant than on the G1, often times showing 0db and 0asu in the same location I am seeing -89db to -101db 3G on the G1.

2. The service menu on the Vibrant indicates a signal level which on 3G is fairly consistently 8db better than the one shown on the info menu. Interestingly, 2G signal levels as shown on the service menu seem fairly spot on with those shown from the info menu in Android.

3. The service menu 3G signal levels on the Vibrant seem consistent with those that I see on the G1 with a variation of perhaps only a couple of decibels.

That said, it seems interesting that battery usage on the Vibrant seems to indicate nearly 60% of its time with no service under cell standby when I get 0% in the same location with the G1. I am wondering if the time being recorded here is in fact the time spent with 0 bars being displayed even if the phone does, in fact, have a signal.

It is apparent that there is at least a software issue with the display here, as has been concluded in prior threads. However, ignoring the bar display I am wondering what others feel of the signal coverage with their Vibrant versus their old phone?

Does anyone have any experience with any of Samsung's other phone offerings? Do you think Samsung will post a radio update for this phone or possibly release one along with the GPS Fix/Froyo update in September?

I work in a position which requires me to be on-call a certain times during the year, and I can't really afford to have a phone that camps out at 60% no signal. I am really looking for reasons to keep this phone, as I like it otherwise, but practically, I need a phone that is going to receive phone calls. Any objective indications anyone can give that Samsung will continue to support this device may help sway my decision to keep it. My 14 days will be up on Thursday, so I need to make a final decision about keeping this phone before then.

Also, do any developers think that modifying the handling of the signal display in Android will cause a change in the amount of time the phone spends acquiring signal between 3G and 2G, or is this something that is purely handled within the radio firmware? If this is changeable, is this something that can be included in a future custom rom?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rishikesh:
I have pretty crappy 3g service here in new rochelle when at home the phone keeps fluctuating between 0-4 bars for 3G and the data speeds very inconsistent. Sometimes it even falls back to EDGE! This is pretty lame, i called t-mobile about it and they said there nothing they can do! If i am unhappy i should return the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PathogenX:
I live in NYC...

That is really all I have to say.

3-5 up speeds

constant 3g connection

The bars on the phone are funky though they look like there are none but you can still make calls. Its just the software is off just like the battery percentage.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
If you're at home why aren't you on WiFi?

Seriously it's the most puzzling thing ever. 3G or not, I wouldn't be using it at home. Are you trying to replace your ISP with your phone or something?

You should do a search. Are you aware of the fact that -0dBm is impossible? The bars are off on this phone and the G1 is mediocre overall. It can hold on to a 3G signal for longer because your hand isn't blocking the antenna but the antenna itself is truly mediocre in fringe areas. Move your hand away from the bottom hump on the Vibrant. A lot of questions you're asking.. you're answering yourself.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0080:
I am not all too impressed with 3G coverage here at my home, but I mostly blame the network at my location and not necessarily the phone. TMO has spotty coverage near my house....period, and I live less than a mile from the tower. I have a Blackberry 9700 and it has similar issues with 3G. I've called and complained and they give me the usual "you're green on the map...return the phone....blah blah". I was closer to downtown Dallas yesterday and the phone had full bars and never got higher than -80dbm. Speedtest app showed about 3mbps downloads on average. I wouldn't say it was stellar but it's nothing like at home either. Only thing is my phone never automatically drops from 3G to E unless I am making calls. Once again the Blackberry 9700 does the same thing.

However, I am not completely convinced the phone isn't to blame either. I had a week with the new Motorola XT720, aka AWS Motoroi/Milestone that Magenta is/was rumored (who knows?) to get, and if Moto hadn't skimped on the CPU/RAM/screen/app memory of that phone I would have kept it instead of this Vibrant. That phone seemed to get much better 3G signal and HSPA was excellent compared to the Vibrant. I'm lucky if the Vibrant gets HSPA here at all. Overall network performance just seemed faster. It was quite obvious when I powered up the Vibrant the first time that 3G coverage is going to be an issue at my home with this phone.

FWIW my wife has an iPhone 3G which gets great 3G coverage here at the house on ATT. So I borrowed her SIM to test after I unlocked the Vibrant and it didn't make much difference. It did get 3G which I didn't think was technically possible until I saw that this phone has 1900 3G support as well as AWS. I do think the bars and definitely the battery indicators are not accurate whatsoever. I use Battery Indicator Pro and it's definitely obvious Samsung needs a software re-work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
Just because you live within 1 mile of a tower doesn't mean it's 3G or that there isn't something in the way of it's signal and your house.. I live within 1 mile of a tower and it's not 3G. It's supposed to get 3G soon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] equid0x:
Maybe I don't have WiFi in my house?

Maybe I would love to reduce my monthly expenditures by the $60 I throw away to Comcast?

I am well aware of the fact that -0dbm is impossible. This is simply what the phone is displaying. I also agree that the G1's reception is mediocre, but this phone seems worse than the G1. Blocking the antenna with my hand doesn't seem to make much difference on either the Vibrant or the G1.

I asked for objective answers to my questions which basically boil down to the following:

1. Do you think Samsung will provide support for the software on this phone (including the radio) over the long term ie. do you think there will be upgrades in this department?

2. Do you think this is something custom rom developers can address purely via modifying the OS?

Thanks for your snarky comments, but if you haven't got any objective input into the situation maybe this thread is not for you.
