[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.lavin:
Anyone know how to turn the screen off without the power button other than waiting 15 seconds. Or how to launch the lock screen? Is there a way to use something like AnyCut to launch the lock screen? I can live with a broken power button if I can turn the screen off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunerclaps:
Trackball Wake/Lock is a utilty which functions the same as the power button - except its through the track ball instead. You can find it in most ROMS or you can install it yourself through Recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.lavin:
Thanks! I have Track Ball Wake with CM6, I didn't know it could lock and don't see that in settings. Is it a different version?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bullyfrog:
To turn off and lock the phone(Same as pressing power button)

Download lockscreen widget from market(free)

To Reboot into recovery

Download Quick Boot from market (free)

The two suggested apps above should help

HTC will send you one with a $529 deposit and you can send yours back when you get the new one. I did it. Whole thing should have taken 4 days, max. But, I am overseas and had to do it through my Dad stateside. It took a week through Military mail to get here and about the same back. Like three weeks total and I never got charged. The authorization only lasted 24 hrs. I just kept in touch with HTC.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.lavin:
Excellent, just what I needed. Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary.lavin:
Thanks, will try this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opusheks:
Thanks alot for this! Been looking for such an app for months.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klaudio_t:
I have the same issue like you, in my case I bought the pay apps Lock 2.0, Lockbot Pro and WidgetLocker Lockscreen because the Lockscreen Widget app some times not response and I can't wakeup my phone, the three options can replace the original lockscreen and looks like the original lockscreen except Lock 2.0.

To restart, restart to recovery, turn off etc options I bought reboot control widget excellent app.

To turn on your phone you have to do the charger and battery trick.

Hopeful this info helps you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rtx101:
Most of the lockscreen apps are to replace stock lockscreen with an alternation, if you want to use OS's stock lockscreen with a program then find LockEnabler on the Market. Use it best with CM6 because in CM6 setting you can change the 5 seconds lock delay after the screen goes black to "immediately".
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamboking:
I had the same issue ..end up sending the nexus one to htc .they changed the power button replaced the screen which I never complained about in the first place...changed the entire body dang I got a brand new phone back..:) its a hardware issue so i don't think it should be a problem.my nexus's button was completely beat up... one day i was installing a rom and i was pretty low on battery i had about 5% left i panicked because the power button was unresponsive so i used a knife to push it all the way and that pretty much left a very noticeable dent but thank god it did the trick..send it in if you still under warranty and even of you are not the issue is pretty popular at htc.. should take a lil over a week to get it back tho

Anybody notice that their screen is a bit yellowish? If yes, is there a fix or should I go to service center?

Appreciate any response. Thanks!
[Desire General] Tenhi:
That's something new :)! My was pinkish before, but isn't anymore...:)
[Desire General] steve228uk:
I guess this has to do with the calibration. As a graphic designer I know that screens should be set to a warmer spectrum (yellower) to display colours more naturally.
[Desire General] mnaeh:
Mine is a bit yellowish too and my colegues have those that are a bit pinkish. I thought I was the only one with yellowish amoled :) BTW in Gmail app gray color looks gray, unlike on pinkish amoled. I kinda like it this way. If anyone finds out this is a hardware flaw please let me know.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] kalairn:
urmmm i didn't know where to put this so mod please feel free to move it or delete it if already this solution been found :).

I was sorting my phone out after moving to the chocolate eclair rom and using anycut to rename the apps, I notice that in the list there an app called g-sensor calibration, if you just create that short cut it will bring back the missing G-Sensor calibration tool if you having problems with your G-Sensor :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Hey, this is the right place to put this, but its also a nice find :)

Mega congratulations if this works on all the roms, which I guess it does. You might even earn yourself a sticky out this if it helps people :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Or just install 3.32.405.2 OTA which was released couple of days ago that brings back G-sensor calibration.

I was trying to flash a rom but now, the phone keeps rebooting/hanging. I can access HBOOT using the volume down/power key but I have a mac so I cant use the .exe file to flash the image back. Is there any version that I could put on the SD card of the phone and get it to flash?

If you tried flashing a rom, you probably have a custom recovery, right?

Why not just boot to recovery, wipe and flash a custom rom.

Download the live CD in post 2 and boot your mac from it then in terminal type

sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom

sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

cd /mnt/cdrom/desire

sudo ./step2.sh

I had the same problem a few days ago and this solved it. Hope it helps.

By the way make sure you burn the disc as an ISO and burn it at the slowest speed possible or it will not boot.

[Desire General] teppic74:
You can't flash a generic ROM on a branded phone without a goldcard. If your phone was from Vodafone but didn't have any Vodafone branding it may be an unbranded phone, in which case this will work without one.
[Desire General] ajaffarali:
The phone doesnt have a Vodafone logo on it but when I start up the screen showed a vodafone logo before booting into HTC Sense.

When I do that, I get an error "CID Incorrect - Update Failed"

How can I make a Gold Card if this phone is not booting? Would REALLY appreciate if someone can help out.
[Desire General] ajaffarali:
Well- some progress:

If I hold the volume down and press power, I can see the HBOOT-0.83.0001 screen. From here, I went into Fastboot and connected the device through USB to a Windows PC. The screen on the Desire is still visible and says Fastboot USB.

I then try to flash "RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5.." since this is a Vodafone unit. The device is recognized by the Windows ROM Update utility and tells me the "From" Image Version is 1.24.161.3 and the "To" Image Version is 1.19.161.5. I click on next. It starts the "Sending" process , then Updating Signature but then gives a Bootloader Version Error saying Please get correct ROM update.

Any idea where I can get the correct ROM update which I'm assuming is 1.24.161.3?

Hello!

Like in title... I am developing my app which should to use Android Native Media Player (android.com.htc.music). I found information, how to do it: http://www.adityatalpade.com/2010/07/31/how-to-bind-to-services-from-the-android-source/. Everything is fine, because I can bind to service, but I can use it. Always I have exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.SecurityException: Binder invocation to an incorrect interface.

Full exception is: http://android.pastebin.com/Xj7WpiJ3.

I will be appreciate for advice, how to resolve this problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] j_r0dd:
that is because it is com.android.music
[Nexus One Android Development] gmadajczak:
OK... Could you elaborate a little more on that, please?

I know that is from com.android.music package, but according to article, which I mentioned in previous message - it should work.
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Has anyone noticed the stock Messages app has some glitches in it now. Specifically, I've found 2:

1. If I'm typing a text, about 50% of the time, the screen will suddenly jump to the very top of the conversation list. This also removes the window you are typing in and stops you typing. So if you have around 200 messages in that particular conversation, it can be quite irritating to have to start flicking back down to continue.

2. This one is less frequent but I'm now sure it exists. When I tap on a particular conversation from the main list, occasionally I get taken to a completely different name/conversation. I used to go back to the main list to see if I mis-tapped, but the conversation it went to wasn't even close.

I've now gone to Handcent because of the irritation, but I'm wondering if it was only me that saw this?
[Desire General] totti123456:

yep, got these problems too, however I'm not on stock froyo, NeoPhyTe 5.0. I have also noticed another problem, whenevery I'm scrolling through the widget, sometimes all messages seem to be from one contact, even though they're not! weird, but then I let it reload and all seems fine :)

Benchmark of different ROM

My intension of this thread is to publish some benchmarking of our different ROM.

of course small difference will show depending of installed apps.

I use Quadrant downloaded from market free edition.

I use Dalvik Debug monitor for screendump (android-sdk-windows/tools)

First out FROYO Android 2.2 versions

Ali ba's Very nice Azure 0.3

170MB free on clean install. All apps on internal memory

On top middle, Jit, Surface dithering on. On the top right, Compcache on aswell

No big difference with my class 4 SD.

Below to left, Compcache, JIT, and surface dithering off, Below middle, Compcache, JIT off surface dithering on. On right newinstall

Newinstall = signed in to my googleaccount updated market, installed quadrant and rebooted twice.

Ali ba's Azure 0.4

To the left "original" middle I turned off surface dithering. And to the right: Jit on, surface, off, compcache on

Ali ba's Azure 0.5

Left original, right mod with oc768-cm-2.6.29.6 kernel

Ali ba's Dark-Azure Nightly 0927

Kyosa fast CM6_RC2_build 66

New install in middle and to the right with Jit enabled.

167 MB free with qudrant installed and updated original apps

Will do some more benching for other ROM and add to this thread

Please if you want to contribute use similar test method in your post.

At least 1 "newinstall" and 1 "tweked" with some apps and different settings.

Do not post questions here! Nicer with a clean thread for this only

PM me instead if something is unclear or you need place to store images (scaled 200x300)

)

nice score uh ?
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Overclocking is like cheating :p.

Btw, I'm quite sure the compcache module can't be loaded with the kernel above. It includes aufs, sdio and tiwlan_drv but not ramzwap.ko and the extraversions certainly differ.

"adb shell lsmod" could give you more info on that.
[Legend Android Development] gregnapola:
Awesome!....I've just tried it but i find it's quite unstable and it causes random reboots... and this ROM is fast enough for my taste for now :-P
[Legend Android Development] xcrew:
im using azure 1.0 with the 806Mhz OC kernel to and i have never experienced any instabillity with it (used it with previous versions of azure to).

i get roughtly the same score 550-560. the batterytime will just about doubble if one forces the cpu to run at 245Mhz when the screen is of to.
[Legend Android Development] chefare1234:
What is the score of Linpack with Azure 1.0 ? Thanx
[Legend Android Development] gregnapola:
Mine is about 7.2 - 7.3 MFLOPS with stock kernel and JIT enabled....
[Legend Android Development] rajasyaitan:
Mine is around 7.9-8.1 with stock kernel. Btw, if Azure is JIT enabled, why is the Quadrant score almost halved of kyosa's CM rom?
[Legend Android Development] nofear2k:
ali ba answered that in kyosas thread:
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
This only applies to the VM, because dalvik can only unfold it's true potential if it has vfp available and also only to releases below 0.6.

If you compare the computing performance then kyosa's and mine will be equally fast and you should get the same results in Linpack for example (haven't tried that, could be wrong).

I think the scores are that much higher because kyosa compiled without support for the Adreno 200 gpu but I haven't had enough time to verify that could be anything.

Whatever causes the "speed boost", I won't know as long as kyosa doesn't jump in and clarify (if he can at all). I don't want to play detective and test all the possible combinations just for a number that reportedly doesn't affect the system noticeably.
[Legend Android Development] Caifan09:

[Legend Android Development] nafnist:
Ive been benchmarking hardware since before time itself, and I say dont put to much 'into it'.

It might not show the real picture.

Sent from my Legend
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Yes, exactly what I meant, but that doesn't say that trying to optimize for a benchmark can't give you any benefits.

For example Linpack only needs 60% of the time to complete now with vfp. That clearly affects the system's performance too.
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
nor do polls
[Legend Android Development] rajasyaitan:
So what you guys are trying to say is there isn't much difference between 800 and 500 quadrant score?

[Legend Android Development] rajasyaitan:
Ouch, way to burst my bubbles. I was really hoping by oc'ing can improve the performance. Well, back to not so smooth FIFA10.

[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Did you do blind tests?
[Legend Android Development] rajasyaitan:
Are u using dumfuq's one? I get bootloop when i flash his. Meh, probably got a sissy CPU.
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
the whole proceedure of overclocking is like trying to saddle a horse

the benefits are surely there. id recommend everyone to try it.

using dumfuq's oc kernel my benchmarks show definite improvements: 440 with Quadrant and plus 2.5 with Linpack.

battery life extended by extra 6-8 hours

all this without pressing too hard on the accelerator coz a phone is a phone and a horse is a horse ;)
[Legend Android Development] xcrew:
dont know what you mean by blind test but the fact is that scrolling becomes ALOT smoother. i get about 150 more points in quadrant. games run more smoothly. and my battery defenetly lasts longer as i downclock to 245Mhz when the screen is of. to me, atleast, the results are undenyable.

EDIT: im using "oc806-v3.1-legend-cm-2.6.29-signed.zip"
[Legend Android Development] ali ba:
Blind test = take two devices with the same ROM except for one uses a reasonably overclocked kernel. Let users try to find out which one is overclocked.

I personally did not find any differences with scrolling.

That's exactly what we were talking about. "150 points" means nothing at all. There is no conclusion to be made simply by some points a benchmark shows you. If you said "I get doubled framerate, 30 fps" instead of "more smoothly" then there would be significance.

Some time ago there was a study that showed people a progress bar and an animated progress bar. Even though the animated one took longer to reach 100% people thought it was faster.

There's always the fact that if you believe something it is true for you.

We were talking about overclocking and benchmark results, not about underclocking which definitely can give you improved battery life.
[Legend Android Development] Bricolo_fr:
isn't the CPU running at 245MHz anyway when the screen is off, with the stock kernel?
[Legend Android Development] lwiss:
i love overclocking...

i can not make an screneshoot...my device have 545 :D !!!

greetz lwiss
[Legend Android Development] xcrew:
aye, might be the placebo effect sure. I dont own 2 legends so kinda hard to test that theory. Anyway, in my experience its a difference. Cant give you any proof though, you have to try for yourselfs and make up your own mind.

And i know that your all talking about overclocking. I was just saying...
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
OK, finally did clean install of Azure 1.0 ROM (w/o Google apps) and thought why not to try dumfuq's OC kernel. The results are nice and device really feels faster, especially when using Galery 3D - images loads much faster. Live wallpapers also loves 106MHz increase :)

Linpack, Quadrant and Neocore:
[Legend Android Development] rajasyaitan:
Now that's an amazing score. 43FPS, nice.
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Isn't that 206Mhz increase? Legend processor has 600Mhz orignally, with dumfuq kernel "oc806-v3.1-legend-cm-2.6.29-signed.zip", you should have 806Mhz if I'm correct.
[Legend Android Development] Learners Lisence:
Not necessarily all the time. At any given point of time the scores depend on how the setCPU is caliberated ie the enabled profiles.If setcpu is not being used then the phone would work at 806 all the time till you see smoke coming out of your Legends ears lol

Thats what I have understood. Correct me if im wrong.
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Well nevermind :). I've flashed oc806-v3.1-legend-cm-2.6.29-signed.zip, then oc768-v3.1-legend-cm-2.6.29-signed.zip and even oc825-v3.1-legend-cm-2.6.29-signed.zip. No version worked with my legend. I'm using Azure 1.0, by the way. After flashing my my phone was only rebooting. The only version that worked for me so far from dumfuq kernel is oc768-v2.2-cm-2.6.29-signed.zip. I got 544 on Quadrant benchmark test and 37,5 FPS on Neocore :)
[Legend Android Development] AllWin:
Yes you are correct, that was my bad.
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Damn it this overclocking makes me angry, of all the legends I got the one with the ****y chipset I guess:mad::mad:. I wish ali ba would make his own owerclocked kernel for the specialy for the azure 1.0.1 and that it would work with my phone!:D
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
I'm in the same boat. Some can be got to 844, and I'm stuck at 768...
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Which OC kernel did you use, from dumfuq v3.1? Cause for me even that one doesnt work... I had to use v2.2:(
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Ouch, yeah I've got v3.1
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
One question, for those who use Azure rom and dumfuq OC kernel v3.1. Have you got SetCUP installed on the phone before you did flash OC kernel, and if, which version of SetCPU?
[Legend Android Development] yrref:
When installing Dumfuq's oc844-v3.1-legend-cm-2.6.29signed.zip, using setcpu, i cant use anything else then 844-600-400-245mhz, not 806. And 844mhz crashes.. How can I fix this?
