Odd that they would prefer to get me to send a handset back rather than say... sorry.. it's a bug. S/W bugs happen. As long as they get fixed not a big deal (well no in the mobile phone sector). Planes :eek:

I have responded say that I don't believe it's a hardware problem. Opera loads the page fine. See what they come back with.
[Desire General] copex:
www.bbc.co.uk/f1 was causing the default browser to quit, but today it is working fine.
[Desire General] TractorMatty:
I've only seen this on BBC pages so far - there were a couple of threads in the Q&A section about this a few days back (here), but to date I know of no solution other than disabling the plugins. :(
[Desire General] spud_work:
I've just come back from a month travelling the states and since the official froyo release hadn't come out when I left I have been using Android 2.1 daily whilst in the USA to keep up with the football news at bbc.co.uk/football and never had a problem. Since I got back to the UK and upgraded to 2.2 I have problems accessing this page without getting a crash back to the homepage.

Therefore, I am certain that this is a problem caused by the official 2.2 rom
[Desire General] squared1200:
it's good to know I'm not the only one having these problems on the BBC site. I've been running 2.2 since the OTA launch and have been having no problems until now.

The problem seems to have started (at least for me) some time this week, as I was able to stream some of the BBC F1 content on Wednesday(25/08). It was only when I was trying to access content yesterday (27/08) that this problem started.

Is this happening just with the BBC, or are there other sites that have this issue?
[Desire General] spud_work:
I first noticed this problem on Monday 23rd August (when i updated to Froyo) and haven't encountered it on any other sites yet.

I have also tried the stock OTA 2.2 and a rooted custom 2.2 rom (leedroid) and both of them would crash on the bbc site
[Desire General] squared1200:
I seem to have fixed it for now. I just cleared data from the internet application and no more crashes on BBC pages. You will lose bookmarks so make sure these are syncd with HTC sync 3 first. This may be a temp fix, so let's see how long it lasts.
[Desire General] jeezers:
It's caused by flash overload as was mentioned above.

With the stock browser open go to Menu / More / Settings / Enable Plugins and use the arrow to select 'on demand' from the list.

Flash objects on the page will be replaced by a green arrow and will only load when clicked.

The pages should load ok now. If you have several windows open and try to load a heavy flash object the browser will force close.

It's not a perma fix but plugins 'On Demand' allows you to browse at least.
[Desire General] th3:
That's not necessarily always the case here. I only use on-demand and many BBC and such sites are crashing the browser in 2.2 whereas they aren't in 2.1. Now all those pages have embedded Flash content and there is never a crash on a Flash-less page so it might well be an Adobe Flash issue. I had no crashes before the last Adobe update.

How do you disable Javascript?
[Desire General] elbowz:
In the browser Settings there's an option to enable/disable it from there...
[Desire General] nasimdejai:
It's not just the bbc site,I've got this website where I watch live football online via my desire.it was fine before yesterday,but now when trying to view some of the matches it just crashes and returns me to my homescreen.it was a good thing I didn't do a factory reset,it would've been a waste time.
[Desire General] Tó Madeira:
That's fine for loading the page but if you try and play the flash content by clicking on the green arrow, it just crashes again. Kind of defeats the purpose of having the ability to play flash in the first place.
[Desire General] dougsdir:
major pain in the ass this

im getting it with a site which embeds justin.tv streams but if i load up the justin.tv site , the same stream plays fine straight from justin.tv!
[Desire General] Tó Madeira:
have just tried replacing the flash plug in with an older version and this seems to have resolved the problem for the time being
[Desire General] dougsdir:
how did u do that?
[Desire General] teffers:
Installing an older version of flash only seems to provide a temporary fix for me. Works for a while then it's back to crashing again.
[Desire General] madis25:
I can confirm its froyo and not only htc handsets have this problem. Some pages with lots of adds and other content crash the browser on samsung i9000 too. I myself thought its something to do with the flash player.
[Desire General] aL_aSeeR:
I don't think that the issue is FROYO related. I have both Galaxy S and Desire on 2.1 and my browser keep crashing whenever I visit any post from vbulletin forums version 4.0+.

I tried one of the cooked ROMs and the issue was not there at all but I didn't like that ROM and had to use another one which has the problem :(.

Regards,
[Desire General] emzed:
Issue solved here after clean wipe. Although that step was not necessary. Uninstalling flash 10.1 should do these trick, only use the default flash player.
[Desire General] DSF:
I have a question, does the browser consumes more RAM (&CPU) on your Desire Froyo in comparison with Desire Eclair?

On Galaxy S does this with Froyo (official or leaks). And it's laggy, makes the whole phone sluggish while browser is opened.

Just try to open pocketnow.com desktop version. Easily the browser consumes over 140MB. On Eclair this was not a problem..

If this happen to with Desire Froyo than it's a Google fault (thanks for promoting the javascript performance but not your general performance.. grr)
[Desire General] GSR-James:
Has anyone found a resolution to this issue yet?

I have Froyo 2.2 & having the freezing problem more & more recently.

Only started happening in the last few weeks & especially on google.ie, have to force stop, restart the browser but it freezes again :mad:
[Nexus One General] scote:
I have a couple of spare batteries and tried a hot swap of battery without powering down while connected to a charger, and it worked to my surprise.

handy for charging spare batteries, or popping on a fully charged one if you're on the way out somewhere or even keeping open apps in a running state.

I guess this may be common knowledge for some people, I never tried before with my N1 as I am sure I had tried it on other phones and they did not stay booted.

If it makes any difference I am running Cyanogen 6.0 rc3.
[Nexus One General] thatguyzx:
Don't know if it's the same, but on the back of my laptop battery, it says being connected without a battery may cause damage to your system.

Not sure about that, but just sharing.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Think batteries offer an extra degree of filtering.
[Nexus One General] clickwir:
I have tried this before, it did not work for me. Phone shut off as soon as I took the battery out. Was connected to USB at the time.
[Nexus One General] xm0is3sx:
Tried it with a car charger and it turned off :( lucky!!!
[Nexus One General] scote:
Appears not to work for everyone - I was using an HTC mains charger, maybe it has something to do with the type of charger or what ROM/kernel you are using?

As far as laptops are concerned, i am sure I read somewhere that it is beneficial not to have the battery connected if you use them on mains most of the time due to the heat degrading Li-Ion batteries over time, but I can see the point about the battery filtering and providing protection against spikes and brown outs
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Your car charger probably only provides 450mAh then.
[Nexus One General] jamezracer:
i wouldn't be surprised if it only worked with the htc charger plugged in. as long as the power is stable (aka won't dip in voltage when something high power like the vibrator turns on) then the phone will be fine. The phone knows if it's an htc charger, a computer usb power, or some 50c knock-off charger and it's understandable that it would protect itself by changing its behavior based on the power it can reliably draw.

macbooks, for example, will downclock their cpu when the battery is removed to make sure the silly little apple transformer can keep the voltage up.
[Nexus One General] MaximReapage:
Batteries provide voltage stabilization from wall power, so it's definitely safer to leave them in...but a few moments of wall-only power won't hurt. If you're really worried about it, hook up your charger to a power conditioner.
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Works for me via USB but only when ADB is running... if I kill the ADB server the phone shuts down... :cool:

Hi,

I am experiencing the screen automatically changes to sense hometab whenever i unlock my phone/wake up from standby . Is there anyway to disable this ? My job requires me take many pictures using the camera. This is very inconvenient for me as I always have to click the picture tab then camera icon again before I can take the picture, even if i didnt close the camera application previously. thanks !!!
[HD2 General] RandyWatson:
same here!! this is a real pain.

whenever i wake from standby with the end/power key it takes me back to homescreen. really anoying when im halfway through a text as i then lose everything ive writen.

same thing for email, opera etc.

Is this a universal issue on the latest 23xxx builds?

I wonder if its to do with the OBOE build this is taken from, i.e that device has seperate on/off buttons and end buttons.

either way there must be a reg hack for this. any ideas on hardware buttons or would it be to do with backlight reg?

help greatly appreciated

[Droid Incredible General] Ruggerxpunk:
So the apps NESoid & SNESoid are now version 2.0 which provides a feature called Net Play, which is described as "* Net-play through Bluetooth (requires Android 2.x) or Wi-Fi!"

The options in the menu provide this:

Bluetooth (Client)

Bluetooth (Server)

Wi-fi (Client)

Wi-fi (Server)

Now I was hoping to get a sweet multiplayer game of Street Fighter II Turbo going, so I loaded up that ROM, clicked "Menu" >> "Net Play" >> "Wi-fi (Server)" and it is trying to establish a connection, but never does. Do you think this means no one else in the world, at that moment, is trying to play Street Fighter II Turbo?

Would anyone like to experiment with trying to get a connection, or has anyone succeeded yet?

*Edit* After clicking on Wi-fi (Client), it is asking me to enter in an IP address...so I'm thinking one person would host by picking (Server) and then would tell the (Client) their IP address, and when they enter it in, they could play together! Who wants to try??
[Droid Incredible General] bradm23:
Not to hijack your thread, but where can I find roms to play with the emulator. I would love to past street fighter with you lol
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
I'm sorry but I don't think you're question can be answered per XDA rules, but just remember Google is your friend!

This is great to see and I might actually buy SNESoid to take advantage of this (I played through multiple TMNT and Kirby games with a friend that was 500+ miles away at the time via the ZSNES emulator and it was great, just like sitting beside one another).
[Droid Incredible General] Hatt:
I think you need to be on the same WiFi or be near another person using bluetooth.
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
I think I spotted a problem OP. In the screenshot you posted, the IP address listed is an internal IP (meaning that only people on the same LAN network you are on could have the chance to connect to you). I don't know if the devs did this on purpose or not, but a way around this is by going into your wifi router's settings and looking for a "Forward Ports" option.

Then you would input the internal IP of your Android (can be found in Settings/Wifi but is most likely the IP address in the screenshot) and the port it is using for the server. Then all the multiplayer traffic to your public IP should be automatically forwarded to you're Android and you should be able to play against people over the internet. Hope that helps!
[Droid Incredible General] gottifour:
Has anybody ever got this to work? I can get the phones to sync fine but with serious slowdown via WIFI and Bluetooth.

Anybody else mess with this?
[Droid Incredible General] bradleyw801:
I have tried it over bluetooth, and an old wireless B router. I was using the HTC Evo, and my wife has the LG Optimus S. In both cases, the game play gets pretty slow. I have tried adjusting frame rates, sounds off, etc. Nothing seems to get it to run full speed.

I emailed the Dev, who is incredibly responsive by the way, and he said that WiFi is better than bluetooth. So, I am trying to get my hands on a wireless N or at least wireless G router. I am going to plug it in, leave it open, and then not have any other traffic going over it, and see if that helps.

To be honest, I don't think it will. The way he has the netplay working is by having the client phone sync to the same state that the server phone is in. Essentially it's like loading a new save state every 10 seconds on the client phone, and the server phone waiting for it to catch up.

My bet is that he will continue to work on improvements. The best way to have it work would be have 2 identical phones, (processors, etc), same rom, same speeds and tweaks, and then try it on a wireless N if the phones are capable, with no other traffic on it, just the 2 phones. If that doesn't get it to run at full speed, then this is a beta feature, and we will have to wait for a better update.

I can say that games like tetris, or DR mario, although they run slow and a little choppy, are still playable, and are pretty fun, but I think something like killer instinct would be too choppy.
[Droid 2 Android Development] karnovaran:
Here's a rough tutorial to 'remove' some of the bloatware using adb. Since we don't have a working recovery or sbf file yet, it is preferable to rename files (change .apk to .bak) rather than completely removing them. This way you can simply rename them back if there's an issue. Keep in mind this is all case sensitive.

**NOTE: Do not remove BackupAssistantClient.apk, HelpCenter.apk or anything "Blur" related. As usual, proceed at your own risk**

Naturally, you need to be rooted and have adb installed before doing any of this.

Commands:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cd /system/app

mv CityID.apk CityID.bak

mv Skype_mobile.live.apk Skype_mobile.live.bak

(same syntax for each apk you want to rename - CASE SENSITIVE!!)

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

exit

exit

List of files ok to rename (case sensitive):

CityID.apk

Skype_mobile.live.apk

MyVerizon.apk

Skype_mobile.live.apk

Vvm.apk

WorkContacts.apk

amazonmp3_1.7.22_signed_zipaligned.apk

Blockbuster.apk (may need to uninstall updates first)

Mynet.apk (3G Mobile Hotspot)

redding-7648-signed-zipped.apk (Kindle - may need to uninstall updates first)

I'd like to know if there's anything else safe to "disable" beyond the list in the original post. There are some things that are always running, no matter how many times I force stop them. And these are things I have no interest in using, like:

-Social Networking

-News

-Weather

I keep killing them, and they keep coming back. Is it safe to "disable" them?

[Droid 2 Android Development] bcs296:
Thanks for the insight. I was wondering about those as well because my main concern is getting rid of all the apps running in the background sucking down battery and slowing down the apps and functions that I actually care about.

I removed the Social Networking already -- did you remove the Social Messaging apps?
[Droid 2 Android Development] illwill18:
Renaming dlna.apk doesn't seem to have caused any issues either.

After playing with this phone some more, I see two problems: Verizon bloatware and Moto Blur services.

The Verizon garbage is obviously just that, garbage. The MotoBlur stuff really pisses me off because when I go into Applications --> Running Services, there are WAY too many services running in the background sucking up CPU power and killing my battery. I killed off every Motorola service I could find in there and the difference was IMMEDIATELY noticable. Everything was smoother and quicker -- switching home screens, scrolling lists, loading different screens. I would love to just throw stock FroYo on this and see how nicely it performs.

We are all running fresh 3.1.0.2 with netarchy-toastmod-4.1.8 bfs, mine has 4.1.9 BETA, but my one friend is running CM6 RC2 because he loves it. Now all of these EVOs can overclock to 1.27 GHz but when we do it they freeze and crash. My one friend can go up to 1.22 just fine but the rest of us are stuck at 1.19.

I dont really care about performance I just wanted to know why this happens and dont get me started on benchmark numbers its just and ****ing number who cares as long as the phone is running fast and sable and has good battery life then its fine some people go out of there way to make there benchmark the highest like CM-snap ver.7.0 kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Simple answer, not all chips are made the same. They are made to minimum standards. Your chip is rated to 1 ghz, and thats what the chip company delivered.

Some chips can handle more, but thats just luck.

As far as why do people strive for the high numbers, thats personal preference. Not everyone here cares about 30+ hours of battery life. Some just like the bragging rights.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Unfortunantly, all EVO's are not created equal. You can have the same hardware and version numbers on 2 devices, but one may be able to OC that high, and one may not. This is also why not everyone can run the superbattery kernel from the Baked Snack rom. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

[General Questions and Answers] Innova133:
My wife an I currently use some older nokia phones. I am planning on doing some Android development, so I would like to get a newer phone.

We currently have our service through AT&T. They seem to have the best coverage where I live (North-Central WI).

When I went to AT&T's site, and looked to upgrade they didn't have many android options to choose from: Motorola Backflip Silver, HTC Aria, or the Sony Ericsson Xperia.

They don't have much information on what version of android these phones run, etc.

I would consider other carriers if their coverage map isn't bad in my area. I am more concerned about getting a good android phone, suggestions?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I have a PPTP account with HideIPVPN which works perfectly on my iPod Touch and on my XP computers. It does not work on my Motorola Milestone - the connection is "successful" but no data gets through. At some point on some build of Froyo (I can't remember which), I was quite successfully able to use this VPN on my Nexus One for long extended periods to listen to Pandora Radio.

Recently I tried CyanogenMod 6 RC3, and to my disappointment, I could connect to the VPN but not get any data to go through. So I restored to my nandroid backup on FRF91 (which I'd originally applied via the pre-rooted update.zip). I retried the VPN and it works but after 30-90 seconds the data cuts out and won't work anymore.

Has anyone here had consistent success with a PPTP VPN on FRF91 or CM6 RC3? If so, did you have to do anything special to make it work?

Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The "cut out" might be related to WiFi keepalive bug. Keep the phone awake and see if the connection still cuts out.
