I live in an HSPA+ city, and I haven't logged above 1.35mbps on the old speed test (usually far less -- around .5). Is that just the way the cookie crumbles (signal strength, etc.) or is that freakishly slow? (Going by the numbers cited in this thread, it sure sounds slow...)
[Vibrant General] beren28:
I get about 0.5 at home, but 4-5 at work.
[Vibrant General] pavvy:
I'm jealous! -- I get mostly EDGE at work... :(
[Vibrant General] acjames:
I only get edge at home. I live right outside of the hspa network...
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
I'm about 45 mins outside of hspa/3g networks, on most days around town, I stay on 3g
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
curious if your phones are showing the "H" icon at the top when you're pulling HSPDA+
[Vibrant General] acjames:
Nope. our phones are not HSPA phones, but T-Mobile says that most phones will get faster speeds.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
No the h isn't turned on... Gotta check in settings... Only stock phone that shows h is the n1..
[Vibrant General] acjames:

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Looks like the HSPA+ network to me. You didn't notice anything because you we're already on it. They only announce it after it has a good amount of coverage over the existing HSPA/3G network. It actually starts to come online far before they announce it. I noticed HSPA+ 2 months before they said it was live (outside of the strip where it was turned on during CES or CTIA)
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
thought our phones were HSPA, but not HSPA+ - are you sure they're not HSPA??

reason i asked, mine has shown the "H" icon where the 3G icon usually is, but only "blue moon" events and maybe for a few hours duration when it does (according to Tmo's map, i'm in a "moderate" coverage area, and in a shallow valley in that area)

on a couple of those occasions i pulled 5.4 - 5.6 Mbps speedtests where i normally pull 1.1 - 1.4Mbps
[Vibrant General] acjames:
Interesting. I havent noticed mine doing that. But i cant say i have paid much attention to it either tho.

I am trying to debrand but half way through the ruu it says get correct ruu error ?

I have a gold card is there anyneed for debrand can I go straight to root ?
[Droid 2 Android Development] djh816:
Once you have achieved root (see other thread), to update the Superuser.apk to the latest version, run these commands:

adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
pm uninstall com.noshufou.android.su

Then search on the market for Superuser and download the one by ChainsDD. Confirmed working on latest Droid2 2.2 ota.

EDIT: To be safe, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Superuser. Then clear the data. This should prevent any of the Superuser issues discussed.
[Droid 2 Android Development] metman87:
sorry..new to the whole android scene. are there any advantages to updating the superuser app the the latest version and can this command be input on the droid itself through the terminal app?
[Droid 2 Android Development] djh816:
i like the interface much more and its got a new autoaccept after 10 seconds if you arent paying attention when the popup shows. it's up to you. i'm sure future root tools will just include it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] metman87:
alright thanks. is it as simple as installing the new version and uninstalling the old? or does one need to enter the command prompts listed above?
[Droid 2 Android Development] djh816:
that is what the commands do. unfortuantely, the old version is on the system partiton. this means that we must first mount the system and read/write and then manually delete the old version ourself. then the new version can be easily downloaded through the market. anyways, adb shell means it's done via your computer so its very easy to copy and paste like 3 commands.
[Droid 2 Android Development] rdmerck:
Instructions work perfectly... thanks!
[Droid 2 Android Development] greg25:
I need Mac instructions
[Droid 2 Android Development] michael573114:
These instructions are not specific to the OS on your computer, they work with anything.
[Droid 2 Android Development] makickal:
Perfect!

Worked great! Thank you!
[Droid 2 Android Development] n0yd:
Instructions worked fine (I just made them up for Linux), but the newest SuperUser is giving me weird results. Every program that requests root access will ask me numerous times, like it never remembers that I gave the app access. Like removing one app with titanium will it will ask me 4 seperate times to accept or deny permission. Other apps do this also. Anyone have a copy of the old apk I could reinstall? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks :D
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
I had the same thing happen to me. Launch the new superuser app and go to settings. Unselect and reselect Notifications. Apparently it shows it being checked, but you have to recheck it for the actual setting to get saved.

After I did this, it only asks once for a program, and then I never see it again.
[Droid 2 Android Development] n0yd:
Nice, thanks! :D
[Droid 2 Android Development] dragoniusFUZE:
I had that issue too. I ironically un-installed superuser and re-installed it and it worked fine too :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] jmonte345:
I used Root Explorer to delete the old Superuser.apk from /system/app. Then I rebooted and installed the new version from the market. Worked great.
[Droid 2 Android Development] djh816:
that works too though without having the superuser apk and rebooting, that could be a little dangerous for others hence my adb tutorial. no need for a restart either. could easily just use root explorer, delete the old, download new from market.
[Droid 2 Android Development] newk8600:
Worked great

I just renamed Superuser.apk to .bak then tried to install. Don't forget the last step. I had to adb (I was using terminal emulator) to do the last step then installed fine and removed Superuser.bak.

Thanks I like the New look.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jerseyh22accord:
yeah i can't get superuser from the market to install, keeps telling me unsuccessful
[Droid 2 Android Development] jmonte345:
I had the same problem. I rebooted my phone and then it installed fine. Not sure if it's risky to reboot once you remove the apk or not. However, it didn't cause any problems for me.
[Droid 2 Android Development] SangYuP:
I basically did the same thing except I renamed instead of deleting it. Well, once I installed SU from the market, I can't find the .apk file even though it's running and launching correctly. I assumed it would be called superuser.apk in the system/app folder but only my old renamed superuser.bak is there. I'm just worried if there is an update in the future, I won't be able to rename since I can't find the .apk file. Anyone know where the .apk file is for this new version of superuser?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Hulkcrawler:
Tried this, and it didn't work for me. With Titanium Backup in particular, it will literally ask upwards of twenty times for permission. It's insanely annoying. Any other tips?
[Droid 2 Android Development] kageurufu:
Sangyup

Its in /data/app, and market will keep it updated if you installed from the market.

Bought my new battery from my local Sprint store last Friday. It came with the new back. Does anyone know where to find cases for these? It is the same back that johnnychimpo has in his post.
[EVO 4G Accessories] potna:
Does it charge to 100%? also does it definitely give you longer life?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
As far as charging, I can't be positive, but it does show 100% on the battery app I downloaded. As far as better life, heck yeah!!! I tried my hardest to kill it today.what would have killed my stock battery, this one went 6 hours longer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pongoface:
I dont use a case for mine. I have a body glove flip leather case for it with invisishield. Could you post some pics of the battery. Wondering if that sprint store is selling chinese batteries or if this one is oem or name branded. Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] gtkansan:
You can buy a 2700 directly from Sprint now? Do you have a pic of it ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
I can get a pic tomorrow. I'm unsure why my Sprint store sells them, because I called 3 others near me, and my store is the only one that has them.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Doward:
Can you post a SKU for it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
they are buying chinese knockoffs

shame on your store!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
I'm sure they are, but the battery life is awesome!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Here's the sku from my receipt. CABAAF000146 HTC EXTENDED BATTERY.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
oh i aint hating. i got 2 - 3000mah as well lol it is awesome.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
im wondering if i leave off the battery plate/cover will i be able to put it in an otterbox...

what yall think? i know it'll be a tight fit, but **** it
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
I know you weren't, lol! it does say on the battery, made in China. But, it is at least a lipo and not a lithium ion. this is day two of using it, gonna see how it does today!
[EVO 4G Accessories] VW91N3:
So does the factory HTC battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
True
[EVO 4G Accessories] MSmith1:
Did sprint give you instructions on how to charge it being that the phone can't properly charge it on its own? I find it interesting that sprint is selling extended batteries now because if they/HTC don't come up with a fix for the charging problem they are going to be getting a lot of calls!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Unfortunately, no. I'm probably gonna take it back tomorrow. I can't find a case??
[EVO 4G Accessories] Crossfire9:
Was this purchased @ a third party retailer, or the actual corp Sprint store? Do you still plan on posting a pic?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Beastn:
What charging problem?
[EVO 4G Accessories] cmdauria:
I would also like to know, What charging problem?
[EVO 4G Accessories] yamaford:
Check your stock batter. There all Chinese.
[EVO 4G Accessories] goodelyfe:
lol thank you captain obvious.....i know they are all chinese (mostly anyway)

apparently that wasnt i meant.... in other words, why would i go buy sprints chinese battery for more money, when i can go straight to the source?

so yea in turn, i say they selling the knockoffs for higher pricing
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Val3r10:
Hi there. I'm a i9000 TouchWiz lover, moreover it's app's drawer management: I use grouping a lot of apps by type.

About this, I'd have a couple of questions:

- is there a way to insert blank pages among the application to keep up the grouped icons together, without moving them to the end again and again ?

- is there any backup tool to save the application layout or some file to copy in a rooted SGS to have the sequence stored in case of reset ?

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] marty1976:
How do you "group" icons?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Val3r10:
... simply by putting them together by kind. And moving again and again to reserve space for news.

My problem was actually a way to put a new blank page among the others, not only at the rightmost end of the sequence, just like on the homescreen...

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] marty1976:
Oh, I see. I thought there it was possible to group them like various apps do...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Val3r10:
Actually I'm looking for one of these apps, which should be able to create folder/groups on the application dock, not on the homescreens.

Any hint about ?

Have anybody figure out a hack to keep the EVO from double compressing recorded videos? Now since we have h.264 why is it still saving videos in 3gp? I once saw this hack in Droid incredible forum. Wondering if this been done on EVO?
[EVO 4G General] goldt:
Are you saying that H.264 has better quality than 720p?
[EVO 4G General] chiwo:
He was talking about the compression of the videos, not the resolution..

Even with 720p, the way the Evo compresses the videos make them all look like crap
[EVO 4G General] goldt:
So the best way to record is still 720p? Video is not very good on this phone.
[EVO 4G General] ewilson:
Yes I'm talking about double compression which make the video crap and sound crap. Instead of it just compressing it once its doing it twice meaning the quality of the video is lessen.it should give you the option to compress in 3gp along with the others. I know dumb phones can't play h.264 only 3gp. If you where to send video mms.
[EVO 4G General] monadzback:
A fix would be great. I swapped from the iPhone4 to.my evo and the 4 kills video in every way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CWHam:
Hello everyone,

I am using a Rogers HTC Magic 32A phone. I am trying to upgrade using the cyanogen mod RC2. As far as I understand, I need to go back to cupcake and use sapphire recovery in order to do this. When I try and use the RUU to flash my phone it will always tell me that my phone is not connected to the computer even though it is (I am able to transfer files and connect to Sync). This occurs on more than one computer.

I have gone through and tried one of the 'universal root' steps, I was able to root my phone no problem, but when I attempt to use flashrec to backup recovery image I get the error "Backup FAILED: Could not run command.".

I am not sure what else I can do. I have tried various unlocker steps, each have failed.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Coreplayer on Windows mobile was the best media player period, but it's not available on Android.

Which media players will do slowmo playback ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Piny12:
What Im also interested in is, can the Galaxy S do high-fps recording?

The Wave does it and its nearly the same hardware. I wonder why Samsung didnt built this in. The Droid X has it too afaik.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] drnajmu:
Supports 30fps video!
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Piny12:
That's not what I meant...

Do you know those slow mo vids of exploding ballons filled with water etc.?

I want to record videos like that.

It's recording with like 200fps!

The Samsung Wave and Droid X are capable of doing so, but the Galaxy S isn't.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Phandroid:
I wants to know, too.

The resolution would surely have to be downscaled, I suppose.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] forcedv:
After much debate I finally got hold of the Galaxy S because I thought it would be the ultimate multi-media device (being able to play 720P mkv's and other media without conversion), so I put the iphone 3GS away.

Lo and behold, it has the same crappy media player controls as the iphone.

Play , Pause and scroll slider.

Come on!!!!

Even my 5 year old windows mobile smartphone (SPV C500) had the ability to play media at variable speeds .inc variable speed slow motion (coreplayer).

Please tell me that there's a fully loaded media player available for Android that does this device justice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] forcedv:
anyone seen anything new similar to Coreplayer?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] cristipurdel:
RockPlayer on the market is for armv6...but I remember that one friend manage to install the v7 from market.

Regarding 720p mkv playing, some videos were running even with subtitles rendered, while others no. Others couldn't play at all, like the 1080p mkv. Anyone knows if there is a bitrate limit or why others 720p mkv don't work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Phandroid:
What does this have to do with a slomo feature?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SGSI:
I am not aware of any media player for Android that can play slowmo, but I think there is one way you could do this indirectly using the "VLC stream and convert" app. Stream your movie from your desktop to your phone in slowmo via VLC media player which can play movies in slowmo.

I have not tried this myself but I guess it should work. I know this is not the ideal solution.

I backed up my ROM before the upgrade, so thought I restore it back then back up my apps as well & re-run the flash. When the ROM restores it just gets into a boot loop at the initial splash screen.

Any ideas?

[XPERIA X10 General] juhalhamid:
Hi,

As everyone will probably know, the x10 automatically turns on when you put the phone on charge.

I'm just wondering if there is a way to turn the phone off permanently e.g. so it only turns on when manually turned on.

I find that when my phone fully charges at night and is left with charger connected, the battery drains really quickly and when it gets to about 90% it starts charging again, this really bugs me. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to turn this auto feature off, so I can just turn my phone on in the morning and have it fully charged.
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
Have you tried turning the phone off after you plug it in...? I haven't so I can't say whether it works or not, but it isn't a problem for me either...

BTW, the drain to 90% is a feature to stop the phone from overcharging and destroying the battery...
[XPERIA X10 General] Gentimp:
At the moment you can not charge your phone while it is off. Regarding the post above, it might not be implemented in the future either since you will have a risk of crushing your battery.

What you could try turn off all what you can (wifi, bluetooth, 3G and applications), this should make the battery drain less.

I haven't tried this myself, but you could also try restarting it before charging. The idea is to leave it charging while the pin code still is asked. This should keep wifi and the other basic functions like 3G disabled. This should decrease the drain usage.

You could also change the profile into flight mode, this should have the same effect unless some applications are prevented from starting up without your pin inserted.

Turning off the phone while it is being charged will just turn it on again.:p
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
I think the drain to 90% will be exactly the same even if you do turn things off... the way I have my phone set up, it actually drains slower once unplugged... In short, I think you're stuck with it...
[XPERIA X10 General] cybrid3:
Download an app called hibernate. PM me if you cant find it but search google, it is there. One touch of its short-cut of widget and you can then tell all radios off and make the screen turn off quicker. Everynight when I go to bed I put the phone in hibernate and plug charger in. When I wake up I have 97% battery, sometimes more.
[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
Do you have a battery widget installed because I read on one of the forums that this stops it charging, so once I removed mine the phone would charge to 100%.
