[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
Mate, if it keeps restarting, return it. Not worth the trouble IMHO. Unless of course, its a really good price.

Id suggest benchmarking it as those tests will strain the system:

neocore

quadrant

Check for hanging/restarting. If it does, you need no further reasoning to return it.

Good Luck!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0mmy:
out of all the phones I had in my life, the nexus one has the top build quality.. I bought mine new though so I shouldn't really comment on this
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
N1 can restart alone due to a bad custom ROM or even not compatible kernel.

If it's rooted install CM6 R3 or Enom Rom they are the most stable roms right now.

I am getting restarts near big cellular antennas (mountain relay) or when a politician's bodyguard is carrying a mobile phone scanner/scrambler. I remember my uncle saying his nokia fried when entering the prime minister office :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
Ive noticed that every single ROM has this line in their build.prop has this

#Modify MTU from 1500 to 1472 on 3G network

ro.ril.set.mtu1472 = 1

why would I want a lower MTU, that can cause a higher ping rate and limit BW, sure it can be helpful for people with ****ty data signal... but... "Im in Miami, *****" :-p

Anyways... A little insight on this? I usually remove the whole line or set to 0.
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
1472 mtu sounds like it has been adjusted to allow the ip overhead in an ipsec tunnel.

if youre phone had the ability of a cisco 2811 and could send 120-160,000 packets a second, then i would fret the 28b. with your phones processing power, you may gain <1kb per second....

Also, this has nothing to do with ping rate nor does it limit your bandwidth. it is only the size of each packet that is leaving the interface. it may cause a 1500 byte ping to fail, or in the case of a packet, it will defragment it. bandwidth is more or a ppsxmtu than mtu alone. If a cell phone user was having to retransmit packets due to corruption or loss from a weak signal, what is the difference in MTU supposed to help? Having a smaller MTU in cases of tcp resync or retransmit, will cause more PPS which actually clogs up the buffer quicker than sending a bigger packet. Its not the size, but the number of packets it can send a second that is gonna make the difference.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
lol a kilobit isnt necessarily my worries... im looking to lower latency...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
and what about reverse tunneling... wouldnt that play nicely with 1500units...

i remember in WinMo we had our MTUs at 1500... i would play halo on XBL no lag... and on a TP2 with 528mhz CPU and a way lower milliwat[ted] antenna
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
I wouldn't expect it to hurt no more than having a 1472 might actually help. Depends on the media (ethernet,dsl,frame-relay,oc,ds,and serial links all have varying MTU's. So what works for some may not work for others. If you really are after latency, then i would set my mtu to 1200, test latency and make 20-40 byte jumps till i found my sweet spot.....and i doubt it will be 1500.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
lol so very true.... thanks for that... its only logic! lol dont know how i didnt think to start low
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
It would still depend on the media and the protocol used to transmit across the media. Example. If you're packet leaves your phone at 1500byte, and travels to Raliegh, NC-You will more than likely travel through several providers. Level 3, sprint, twt, and maybe a few locals/ If one of them paths has an mtu set lower than your 1500, that packet will get fragmented into smaller pieces and reconstructed at the other end. If that is the case, you will get better latency with an MTU that is smaller than the lowest hop's MTU. Also, some equipment reaches peak performace at a certian size MTU, and its not always 1500. And also,,,it depends on the traffic you are sending. It also depends on the size of the packet that the app on your phone is generating as well. . So there is a whole lot of variables that play into MTU size, and more i didn't mention.
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
Do let me know what ends up working for you!

Glad i could help :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
lol i prob wont even bother... just a tweak freak...

if only setprop (command) didnt require reboot... any way around?
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
I have had a lot of issues lately on the 1.4 pri as well as the earlier on with ****ty signal strenth with some roms. I swear, im in downtown GBO, and with CM nightly, my signal is -80dbm, and with any htc rom, same spot gets me -60 with full bars. Some roms drop calls on the way home when switching from tower to tower, some roms don't. But damn, even with no 4g, and crappy signal, CM has been my daily driver for about 3 weeks now....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
dude I know exactly what you mean@!

srsly how the hell can a rom do that... perhaps they are doing like apple? using a 'bad formula to display signal strength' lol.

Maybe they modded their fieldtrial

**** i gotta go bbl bro
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
Anything old that is left in a modded rom or residual or even introduced into a new rom cleary stands a chance of screwing things up.

This is just common sense really.

You never introduce old code into new code and expext equal results unless bit for bit the old and the new code are identical.

There is also the theory that by modifying a rom it can break things.

Then again a flakey phone could do the same thing.

That was with regards to the pri 1.4 comment.

With regards to the MTU... any mtu will work as long as it is a match all along the way. But as it was stated if there is a change it could be fragmented.

Im a little rusty but thee are commands or rather homemade programs to test for mtu limits/point of dragmentarion.

Every single 1500 mtu is really 1472 underneath the overhead if i remeber correctly. Add 28 for the headers???

It may be very very well worth changimg it to 1500 and trying it out.

Now days mtu wont kill speeds or ping unless it is way off.1472 isnt going to be.much different than 1500 but it could verywell create issues sometimes.

Here is a link on dslreports to test for best mtu. Not sure how we can do this on our phones
[EVO 4G Android Development] welrope:
Not to sure what all that was about..

1. If there is any residual code or modded code in my rom, it was put there by cyanogen. Also, I think most.people could tell a flacky phone. Point blank..stand in one location with ANY HTC based rom and have neg65 signal. Flash cyanogen it my go into 1x. Its simply a incompatibility between his code and sprints pri.

2. 1500 includes all the over head needed when using Ethernet. DSL uses 1492, due to the overhead of the "timing bits. Ipsec tunnel uses 1472 to allow for the IP header in the tunnel....over Ethernet. Most of this has already been discusses in the thread anyway.

Feel free to search any of CM threads for countless others with the same issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarDestructo:
Is anyone having issues with 'tinny' and distorted sounding audio while streaming via A2DP? I'm using a Blackberry audio gateway that worked flawlessly with my old G1 but with the Vibrant I find the audio quality so appalling I can't even listen to it. It's definitely not a question of the volume settings being too high. It also does this for EVERY program so its a global problem, possibly with the bluetooth stack. For now I'm coping with the 1/8" jack but thats starting to drive me nuts.

Anyone experience this? Is there a way to force the stack not to use A2DP or other protocols?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadti99:
Yes A2DP sounds bad for me as well. I'm using a kenwood bt-200 made by parrot for my kenwood head unit and the audio is distorted at higher frequencies and it's missing a lot of mid bass. With my wifes mytouch the same setup sounds excellent.

Samsung released an update for improved A2DP streaming in korea so maybe well see it here as well? Like you I've just been using an rca cable for audio because A2DP is simply unusable with the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarDestructo:
The more I listen to it the more I think its a volume/clipping issue than an encoding issue. Thank christ I'm not alone I was beginning to suspect I was being a whiney brat about the quality.

I just tested the gateway with a third phone and it also works flawlessly. Getting frustrated...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarDestructo:
So does anyone have experience extracting files from Samsung .rfs files? I'm trying to do so via adb and failing miserably. I'm hoping to snag the new bluetooth.apk from the 2.2 developement build from Samsung to see if it has the sound quality updates.

Anyone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wade-0:
I'm trying to determine if it's just the crappy TouchWiz Music Player they replaced the default Android player with. When I stream from other apps it sounds noticeably better (like Last.FM or Pandora), and I tried the Cubed player for a comparison of MP3 audio and it also sounded better.

Have any of you done a comparison like that?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarDestructo:
I carried over the heavily modded cyanogen music player and besides that I use slacker. Still sucks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadti99:
Yep pandora, slacker, and the music player all sound terrible through A2DP.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadti99:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadti99:
It looks like the Vibrant isn't the only Android phone suffering A2DP quality issues. Please vote on Android issue 9888 if you are experiencing subpar A2DP audio quality from your Android device!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
I am well aware that MMS sending works for sprint, so if your a sprint customer, I don't care that yours works.

I have successfully input my carriers mmsc settings into multiple roms. I can get mms sending to work under any sense rom just fine. I cannot get it to work under AOSP, I have tried under CM6, DD2.8, and Csrom.

Has anyone who is on a carrier other than sprint ever gotten mms sending to work in an AOSP rom?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwheel596:
Yeah I have the same Issues.Also on all the AOSP roms my carrier still shows as Sprint, wish i could change that one too
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
dont think they will until someone cracks the MMS.apk for sprint.

FROM WHITERABBIT

"Sprint uses "Picture Mail" instead of MMS, which probably saves them some money or something, but causes problems when using phones off of Sprint. Maybe that isn't the case any more, but it definitely was within the past year or two."
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
I don't get what your implying here. I can send mms with my carrier no problem using sprint roms, its the aosp ones that give me trouble.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesubliminaljuggalo:
Any update on this? I, too, am on ACS.

I've been trying to soak in as much information as possible browsing these forums so that I can tweak my phone to my liking without bricking it. I finally jumped in and rooted a little over a week ago and flashed the Aloysius ROM I found on here. I lost my voicemail notifications, but thanks to another thread, I got that back. Now, I just need a cure for the MMS on AOSP ROMs.

Don't want this thread to die. (:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
Aloysius is not an AOSP rom, its based off of damage control which is sprint based and thats why you didn't get voice mail notifications. This of course means you should be able to get working mms.

Download apn backup & restore from the market. extract the attatched zip file and stick the xml file in a folder on your sd card named ApnBackupRestore.

Run the app and delete all apns. then restore from my acs.xml file and you should be good to go.

O/T good to see more ACS customers on here!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
You're welcome. You can also get that theme by downloading the new adw launcher and theming it in adw settings with the free theme from the market.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
I've tried the theme but its kinda half assed compared to the fully themed rom. This is getting way off topic so I'll end it there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
This may be a dumb question but how are you running Eris roms on your Hero? Can I run Hero roms on my Eris?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
I changed the kernel. You could run hero roms on your eris by flashing an eris kernel into the hero rom. I didn't have working wifi, bluetooth or rotation sensors but I can probably get those working if put some effort in. Wifi I don't care about as the wifi on these phones is a JOKE seems to cap out at 1.5 to 2mbit throughput so might as well just use 3g.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
I haven't got that far yet. I'm not brave enough (or I should say don't know enough) to do that yet. But thanks for the insight.

Battery may not be calibrated correctly. I have to say my only major disappointment with the EVO is how the battery life is so tied to the particular rom I'm using.

Hello

What is a nandroid backup? How do i do a nandroid backup? I have a nexus one flashed CM 6.00 RC2

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
basically a nandroid is a image of your phone, like a backup in windows, when you restore a nandroid it puts your phone back how it was when you made it, with data and apps and everything.

well, first you gotta boot into recovery.

which did you install? Clockwork or Amon_Ra? Not that they are that different

Then go to backup/restore and select nandroid backup then restore it whenevery your phone/rom is not working correct.
