A good investment

In addition, the DInc will be the last great AMOLED phone before the coming age of the locked bootloader. Even DInc's in the near future will have locked bootloaders (after the official 2.2 OTA). I fear the age of Android ROM cooking is coming to an end. I'm tempted to go out and buy another DInc, before the OTA hits and then it's...game over... Unlocked DInc's will be worth their weight in gold. Yep, just might be a good time to invest in a couple more unlocked DIncs... ;)

I never was an optimist... :p
[Droid Incredible General] dspero:
Well done xda! In just 5 replies I believe you have me convinced. Perhaps I will still try the x though... you know what I am really thinking? Keep the small screen (and customization) of the dinc and wait for a Android tablet to fill my large screen needs.

Thanks again, I will cancel my x order on Monday? :)
[Droid Incredible General] dhalem:
Naw...

The cat and mouse game will continue. Nothing is unrootable. You can't give someone the keys and the lock and expect it not to get picked.
[Droid Incredible General] Lexus One:
Rooting is a different process than flashing ROMs...or so I have read. But the only way a locked & digitally signed bootloader will get picked is with the appropriate key. And only Verizon has the key and will be able to update your ROMs. It's going to be a lot tougher now. Someone on the inside will have to leak the digital key. Not saying that this can't happen...but will it? Only time will tell...
[Droid Incredible General] Yodes:
Couldn't the new law on jailbreaking/rooting come into play here? It's now 100% legal so couldn't you go in and say (using vzw as an example any carrier will work) Verizon, I have this phone here I want rooted. Verizon then says ok we will give you access if you sign this saying you know and are willfully voiding your warranty. Or something like that. I just can't see how these scenarios or something similar won't happen with the new ruling
[Droid Incredible General] GMK83:
Its legal, but that doesn't mean they have to make it easy, and it sure doesn't mean that it doesnt void your warranty.
[Droid Incredible General] cobra-1299:
My brother-in-law has an X and I have a DINC. That phone is way to big and comparing them I feel mine works better "my opion". The only thing I like about the X is, it has a nice dash mount.

Tried updating my PRI and gave up after 32 attempts anyway here is my problem, was running baked snack and nandroided it before switching to rooted stock 2.2 so after giving up i tried switching back but it keeps telling me

Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb!

any ideas on how to fix this?

Edit: also using amon ra recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJStephens:
Did you buy any chance rename your Nand backup?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
Make sure your SD card has plenty of free space on it, that can sometimes cause it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindakrazy:
Well that was my first guess, yeah i renamed it...does this mean im screwed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJStephens:
Not really. Just make sure you dont have any spaces in there. If you do, replace then with underscores _______ like that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kindakrazy:

I posted a fix for this in the development forums. It has also been pointed out that this message appears when your battery charge is too low (
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd9900:
+ 1. Happened too me too and after getting the battery above 30% I was fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
Has anyone noticed this? Wherever there's something to scroll, web pages, menus etc., the motion is sort of stuttering as long as you keep your finger on the screen. When you release your finger and "throw" the page, it goes smooth. This makes me think that it's not a graphic performance issue, but it's more like if the resolution of the capacitive touch screen was lower than the actual display. I hope I'm wrong and it's software related...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
Software related, doesn't always do this.

Edit-

On second thought I am not sure, sometimes it does this really badly and other times it is completely smooth. If we didn't have full resolution touch you would notice it on a multi touch test app.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
I think I have found the cause.

Cpu scaling!

Lock setcpu to 1 ghz and it is much smoother.

What is happening is the cpu speed keeps throttling and jumping back to full speed causing problems
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
Actually...still unsure...ideas anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] miki4242:
"Problems" with CPU speed jumping up and down? Those are not problems but a design decision (jury is still out on whether the implementation is done right) to save energy.

Of course you can crank everything up to the max and never put peripherals or the CPU to sleep, but please don't start complaining when your battery runs flat before the day is done.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
They set the ramp down cpu speed timer far too short. This can be modded in a kernel anyway.

Using a multi touch test we have at minimum 600x300 touch resolution, way more then enough to have lag free scrolling.

There's an acer android phone out with only about 32x 24 touch resolution. They manage
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
I don't think it's related. I'm experiencing this even with the cpu locked in performance mode. On the other hand, using a multitouch test app, I was able to move a pointer pixel by pixel at what seemed to be the screen's full resolution, so touch res is not the cause.

It's quite annoying cause even if you want to launch a fast scroll of, say, your contact list, you get that initial ugly small stutter... when browsing the internet this ruins the experience even more, since you are likely to keep your fingertip on the screen more.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] The.Opethian:
Dunno about you guys but uninstalling Gesture Search by Google fixed it for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
Never had that on my phone...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
Bump... am I the only one bothered by this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
Am I?... :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
Could be, I had a HTC HD2 and it suffered from that problem alot. numerous videos have been posted on youtube because of it as well.

One possible way of minimizing the problem is to electrically discharge your screen, by putting an electric conductor, such as metal on it to remove and negative/postive ions still hanging around. Read that up somewhere and it somewhat helped my HD2.

Personally i have only experienced once on my Sgs and have not been able to replicate it since.

If you have big fingers that could also be a problem as the touch sensor can't decide on where to locate your finger...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
Thank you for your answer! The electrical conductor you mentioned should go somewhere to discharge though... I can't walk around with a ground wire hanging from my phone all the time :) Plus, I really believe it's software. I know it always goes there but... iPhones have similar technology but they always scroll smooth. maybe it's interpolation we're missing here.

Btw I have particularly small hands!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Qazz~:
Discharging it only has to be done only when the problem seems to be worsening. just try not to place your entire thumb on it but rather use the tips of yours fingers, that way it doesnt jerk.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
I have to say this problem is pretty consistent, hence not worsening (or improving) whatsoever in any circumstances. It's just not fluid, ah my Touch HD used to be, but that was because of poor GPU (driver); we know that can't possibly be the case here, and as a matter of fact, regardless of load, stuff in the background etc, it's there all the time.

But as soon as you release the fingertip, the "inertial" part of the scrolling just goes as smooth as possible.

So I'd dismiss the electrostatic explanation, it seems like it was a non-interpolated low touch resolution... except that it's not...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woz...:
Hi Folks, I have noticed the same problem running eclair 2.1 with Ryan's one click lag fix applied (the lag fix did speed it up quite a bit too!). It seems to do it after coming out of 'sleep' mode i.e when I wake it up from blank 'screen saver'. After a few scrolls or taps it starts to smoothen out a bit, but still not as I would like it to be.... Just my observations and sorry I can't offer up any Solutions... Any word if 2.2 update will make things better? Also, does anyone know when the update will hit Australia?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
Welcome to android world, iphone users.

The world where not everything is super-smooth.

Actually it might be related to smoothing of touch input. Btw my scrolling is quite ok, but I come from Sybian world, world of lag.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woz...:
'smoothing of touch input'? could you please expand on this?

BTW - I Never owned an iFone, and don't really go for it's comunistic ways... (although some people take comfort in it! :-) )
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
Hm, touchscreen sends raw data to driver (noisy, with peaks) to driver. Driver cleans and interprets them.. (unless its done in TS firmware)

I think that more cleaning and smoothing at this stage would result in smother scrolling, but not-so-precise tracking (when drawing, etc).

I'm just speculating here, because I have no real knowledge about this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woz...:
OK... Although it seems like there is a delay in reloading to short term memory when coming out of hibernation? Would this sound like a place to start looking? if so, anyone have any ideas on how to manipulate this function?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
Smoothening of the touch input seems to be the way to go. Unfortunately I'm afraid it's something deeply buried in the touchscreen driver so it would take a pro to tweak it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woz...:
OK -thanks. I did improve the response time by rooting the Phone and applying the OCLF from RyanZA. All was going smoothly. Then the update came through for 2.2 (Froyo) which doesn't need rooting or a lagfix, at least this is what I read about it. Phone seems slower now at time, especially when it 'wakes' up... SGS i900...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
We are talking different things here... I'm referring to a drop in framerate when your finger is touching the screen. I recently found out that there is a known bug in android that causes unexplainable spikes in cpu usage during touch events. They say it will go away with gingerbread... I really hope so!

the phone starts shaking and doesnt stop only untill i restart it.

any ideas?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Probably need to hard reset
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] stergiopa:
i managed to make it work well with v vibrate and vibro cfg but after restarted these settings lost again and the problem exists.

using these progrmmes second time and nothing happens.

i think its a registry setting not a hard reset but i cant find it.

where or how can i change these vibtation settings in the registry?

i use win 6.5

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
I've noticed that while recording a video, my sgs is having a hard time locking it's focus on close subjects (text on my pc monitor for example). you can see it's trying to focus but it doesn't get it right. with subjects few meters away, it seems to handle just fine.

still camera seems to work perfectly fine. I've tried several firmwares - it behaves that way with each one of them.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Spybreak:
It's a shame they didn't implement touch to focus on video mode. It takes ages to auto focus on close subjects while recording.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fatherboard:
The funny thing is that once it achieved proper focusing (during video recording), it looses the focus after few seconds and then trying to focus again. :mad:

Needless to say that during this time I didn't move the phone...

Anyone notice when you swipe to unlock the screen it's noticeably laggy?

Same with swiping across screens...

Any reason for why this is?
[Droid 2 General] ZeroOveride:
Actually I've had the opposite experience. I've noticed a big improvement in the touchscreen compared to my previous Nexus One. And the device has a nice speed to it.
[Droid 2 General] karnovaran:
Opposite for me too.. the unlock lag is nothing compared to the Nexus, even on CM6.
[Droid 2 General] shoman24v:
So when your guys screen is locked and you swipe the lock to the right to unlock, it's smooth? I'm talking about the part your finger follows.
[Droid 2 General] ZeroOveride:
Yes completely smooth. I would compare my touchscreen to the iPhones in relation to its responsiveness.
[Droid 2 General] shoman24v:
Hmmm maybe a hard reset would fix it?
[Droid 2 General] broonswick:
I've experienced the same lag that you are talking about. The unlock slider seems to lag behind my finger as I drag it over the screen, not smooth at all.
[Droid 2 General] th3drow:
everything about the homescreen on the droid 2 is laggy, go from that to adw.launcher or launcher pro and it is so much smoother. and the lock screen is decently laggy as well.
[Droid 2 General] eleventy:
Same here. Moto launcher and home screen are unnecessarily laggy.

Makes the whole phone experience seem slow.
[Droid 2 General] opcenter:
Same here. I went back and forth between LauncherPro and ADW and ADW won... and now it's perfectly smooth.

Why can't Moto just give us the damn stock launcher as an option? :)

I suppose I can't complain too much... at least they allow switching launchers at all.
[Droid 2 General] shoman24v:
I just put launcher pro plus and all is well. Damn lock screen lag is still there though

[G1 General] cmcginnis:
I was stupid and didn't pay attention when I installed the radio. I flashed the radio and then I flashed DangerSPL immediately after and now the phone will only boot to the G1 splash screen. home+power and camera+power aren't doing anything. Does anyone know a way to get in to recovery mode? The recovery image I used was Amon_Ra 1.7.0. I know it was an amateur move and a learned lesson not to do anything technical when hung over.

I realize that the phone is in all likelihood permantently soft bricked, but I am holding out hope that there might be something I could try.

Cannot fastboot.
[G1 General] ezterry:
Hope something is wrong with recovery and you can access fastboot and flash the 2.x radio while stuck at the splash screen.

For reference of safer methods of flashing danger spl see the (a) custom mtd partitions that works around it and (b) 1.33.2003 spl that allows more access and my posting of it how to safely use fastboot to flash danger if you did want 1.33.2005 without risking a brick.

Otherwise if you are bricked the options are:

1- jtag (yourself or get someone to do it)

2- replace the mainboard and daughter board, perhaps from a damaged phone and optionally sell that with the boards to someone who can jtag it

3- sell it as it

4- paperweight or decorative piece

If I do a hard (factory) reset, can I use app brain to restore my apps, or will they all have gone when I log back in? Alternatively, does Astro's back up do that - I want to restore them from the market so that they'll update

I think you have to use titanium backup for this operation. Also my backup can do this for you.
