[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3722:
The "accounts&sync" should be already in your standard settings option, it's not "hidden" as the privacy settings.

Try allowing google search to search only for settings, without web and other. Also you can try to type "back" instead of privacy, as it should bring the option too (because backup settings are in "privacy).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackb1ade:
Hi - many thanks for your reply.

Unfortuantely I've already tried restricting the search parameters across a number of variations (including only checking 'settings') but it seems to completely ignore that and perform a google 'web-wide' search no matter what - so what exactly the point of being able to manipulate the search perameters is I have no idea (seems like it's simply window dressing!?)

Same story searching for back or back up (and variations thereof)

Yes - the Accounts and Synch appears to be the way to access the account screen - The Account screen doesn't appear to exist as such, however I can get to what it (as in the manual) refers to by tapping on Accounts and Synch and then tapping on individual 'accounts' - to alter what does/doesn't synch for that particular account

Thanks again - still searching for these elusive 'Privacy Settings' though - I even just tried using Astro file manager to search for some terms that may indicate where some of the access files are located and nothing :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spannaa:
I too had problems using the method below to find the Privacy settings:

From the Home screen, press the search button.

Press the menu Button & select "Search settings".

Select "Searchable items" and tick Settings.

Press the back button twice.

Touch the icon to the left of the search input & select "Settings"

Type "Privacy"

Privacy (HTC global search) should appear - select this.

I found that the setting wasn't appearing because I was using Swype!

A long touch in the search input brings up a menu.

Select Input method.

Select Touch Input.

Repeat the privacy search as above.

Voila - the Privacy setting appears!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackb1ade:
SPANNAA - you are a GOD!! :)

Brilliant walkthrough - worked a charm

Many thanks mate, much obliged :D
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
1 with the Lag fix and one without? I wanna see a vs video. Ive done all lag fixs and have not seen a difference other that quadrant scores. I never had lag to beging with even coming from a Nexus one running FRF91 Froyo.

I dont get the lag thing. Maybe a video could help me see the difference.

Where is the lag? All my menus open quick, apps open fast etc. When I did the lag fix I tested everything and it just all around felt the same... Not slow becasue I dont think it is either way, but not faster than without the lag fix. I just dont know if its worth the 1 gig or 512 mb rom.

A video would be cool, im sure no one has this or even 2 vibrants to test this out with.. I think it would really make a statement if a video showed the difference...

ANYONE? Or WILLING?
[Vibrant General] Calcvictim:
not sure why your Vibrant doesn't exhibit the behavior but pretty sure that if it did you would notice.

Sorry no video.
[Vibrant General] jrharvey:
I completely agree with you. I had a mytouch before this phone and have yet to notice any sort of lag at all. Of course the lag fix didnt do anything for my phone, it was already faster than anything else out there anyways. Personally I dont use the lag fix any more because I dont see the point.
[Vibrant General] dcam1075:
I did not notice any lag either for about the first 72 hours I had the phone. But once I started installing all the apps I usually use it became quite apparent. To the point that I had to go back to using my myTouch Slide until I could take the time to root and apply the fix. I experienced lag mostly with the market, corporate email and really any app that was pulling info from the web. The market was most noticeable with it taking a full 10 seconds to get into the download area. Corporate email was the deal breaker, it would take 5 to 10 seconds to delete each email and move onto the next one. Multiply that by 100 to 150 emails a day and you would want to pull your hair out! Luckily the lag fix corrected almost all the lag for me in comparison to my MT3G Slide. Now when I delete an email it instantly deletes it and moves on to the next one, phew!

As for other people not experiencing the lag that is a mystery. Perhaps it has something to do with specific applications our maybe the number of applications being installed. All I know is for me personally the phone was unusable in its original state, and the lag fix has made all the difference for me.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I've had the phone since release and have aver 120 apps installed. Market downloads takes about 1 second. Every now and again some stuff takes a couple seconds, but only sometimes, most the time things are instantly ...

Don't know, like I said I think a videobwould be helpful ..

Or even a before lag fix test and a after lag fix test...
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
If you don't see a need, then don't use it. No one is forcing you.

Those of us who multi task heavily on our phones see a huge improvement.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Yep I too have had no clue what people were complaining about with the lag. I installed the lag fix anyways and didn't notice a difference. My best friend just bought her Vibrant a few weeks ago and I compared to hers last week and noticed no difference in between the two identical Vibrants.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
What kinda response is this? I know I don't have to that's why I don't.. I multitask plenty I bet I use my phone more than you. 16 hours a day non stop. This ain't a contest I'm just trying to see some proof
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
"Hi, i'm zaduma, a self-important armchair diagnostician. I know nothing about your usage, but I know you don't know how to use your phone and you're an idiot."

I multi-task "heavily" as well and have yet to experience the lag symptoms i've seen described here.

Maybe you should describe what "heavy" multitasking you're referring to so we can replicate it?
[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
As others have stated I saw a huge lag in the market place, it was near impossible to navigate taking well over 5secs to load. I didn't have a huge issue with other apps, but some ran slower. I had a 870ish score in Quadrant.

I installed the LAG FIX, which if I remember right, is very similar to a ram hack. It basically moves it to write on the SD Card, which is much faster. I now score 2155 in Quadrant and the market place loading screen in there within 1-2secs of loading in.

I personally think its a great fix, not sure why yours didn't work.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
Wasn't there some post a few days ago about how easy it was to boost quadrant scores using software, without providing any actual real world improvements?

My market screen loads up in a second or two, and my quadrant score is 870ish.
[Vibrant General] oc3rulz:
anything is possible with software. I just know that my phone is working much better now, I wish it would help others too
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
I was pointing out that if you don't see a need, and do not see a difference, then don't use it. What do you care if someone cranks out a video showing the difference? Would you use it then, even though you don't see it yourself? I mean do you seek validation for the other things you do in life from strangers on the internet?

"Hi I'm reuthermonkey, I imply that I am an enlightened guy, while making fun of others because it strokes my ego. Then I go about and put words in people's mouths."

Anyways, I do not use my phone straight for like 16 hours like OP, but when I do use it, I use it as such:

- Stream Pandora over Wifi (well I try to use wifi, tmob's 3g is **** around where i live.)

- Browse Web / browse marketplace for new apps I'd like to try.

- Test out those apps.

- Text my friends and family bout **** to catch up.

- Switch back to ninja's live every 4-5 minutes to play out some more stamina points.

And guess what guys, while I am switching between these I notice pretty substantial delays, 3, 4, 5 seconds sometimes. With lagfix it might lag for a second, maybe two.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Nope. I never said I'd use it if I see a difference in a video. Now your putting words in my mouth saying now I need validation?

Dude take your negative butt outta here. I'm just saying I don't see no lag and wondering maybe I'm missing something.

****. Got a video? No cool, anywhere to check to see if I have lag and where the lag fix is supposed to blow my mind besides quadrant ....

Please no negativity ...

Edit: just tested with Pandora on and I'm right now typing away with ease. I actually believe its now faster with Pandora playing. Thanks for the tip..
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
For me the Lag Fix didn't make much of a difference. In fact I got random pauses on my phone more with the Lag Fix than I did with out it. The only difference between the two was the Market loaded faster and my games loaded slightly faster, like 1 sec faster. I used the Lag Fix for about 4 days then I got a low memory warning and couldn't get text.

Its def a step in the right direction but for me the cons out weighed the pros. Benchmarks are great and all but stable real world use trumps that.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I've heard a lot more negative issues from trying to do the lag fix. I understand WHY a fix is needed, but my phone performs more than adequate for me... MUCH faster than my Cyanogen Froyo G1 did.

Quadrant scores means absolutely nothing.

I too would like to see a video... mostly because I think it would point out that though there would be an increase in opening apps... thats it, apps open faster, wooptie doo.

I'm waiting for froyo since this will also incorporate samsungs fix for this (my guess since both have been announced for possible Sept release).
[Vibrant General] applebook:
I don't think Zad's post was meant to be offensive.

Anyway, I have no lag on either my Bell or TMO Vibrant, although I confess that I don't install 100s of apps, but I do multitask and run intensive stuff like uncompressed 720p MKV files and The Sims 3!
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
I had my vibrant since launch day and have never had any real lag problems. But a few days ago when JAC released his new kernal w/ the lag fix, I thought I might give it a try. Boy am I happy I did it. Browsing websites are a lot faster. Some apps even open faster.

One app that was bugging me was ROM Manager. Don't get me wrong, I love the app, but it literally took a good 5 seconds to open (All I would see is a black screen for 5 seconds), but now with the lag fix, the app opens up in less than 2 seconds. I still see a black screen, but it's a huge improvement.

I also came from a MT3G and never thought the Vibrant had any type of lag. But after installing the Lag Fix, I can see what people are talking about now.

You can always try it and if you dont like it then nandroid back.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
What's the lag fox do to make web browsing faster?
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
In the second post of the thread about RyanZa's One Click Lag Fix v.2

I think his commentary is more about JAC kernel + lag fix however.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Alright is there any new good ones that are low on memory. I don't want it to use a gig is there a better one?

Is the 2-3 a good one? Only taking 512 rom?
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
Eugenes vibrant6 with the recommended lag fix. Check eugenes thread both are listed on the first post. I have 580mb left internal with 80+ apps installed. Still haven't tried JAC's kernel, but the 2 second wake lag doesn't really bother me and its the only lag I've experienced after applying.

Vibe the XDApp
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I don't have any major lag either. I uninstalled the fix and NANDROID created tons of problems for me.. WiFi was really slow all of a sudden in my room, etc. plus my phone would constantly freeze. Instead of messing with ODin I just exchanged my phone and will wait on GPS/Speed improvements from Samsung. It's not worth the instability.
[Vibrant General] atoz350:
Try applying the lag fix and use it for a week, then Odin back to stock. You'll notice the difference then.
[Vibrant General] sl0play:
I'm surprised anyone can't tell a difference. I put it off until about a week ago and the difference is welcome indeed. Ofc its a fast phone without it but I was always bothered by the glitchy feel of when it lagged, especially when installing apps. That is now entirely gone. Uninstalling now takes under a second for anything.

Texted While Driving
[Vibrant General] The_Chrome_Coyote:
If you're concerned about low disk space with ryanZA lag fix, you can use ttabals scripts and JAC s kernel for app data to external SD on an Ext 4 partition... that's up to 2GB.

I had terrible lag on the phone when I first got it. So a lag fix made it usable for me. That said, I also experience lag with ryanZAs lag fix, and much prefer the smoothness of the app data to external SD fix.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I too bought the Vibrant on Day 1. It worked great for a couple of days and then started lagging rather badly. After a week or two, I used the copy to NAND fix (Method #1 at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727279) . It worked beautifully. Almost all lag was gone.

I was concerned about the 130 MB limit though. I had used about about 70MB. So I backed it out yesterday and installed Ryan's app from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760571.

It's noticeably slower than the NAND lag fix. But it's still much faster that the 10 minutes that I was playing around with the phone in between the two lag fixes. I'll stay with this for a while and might just go back to the NAND lag fix. The only problem is that after undoing the NAND lag fix, the Apps storage had jumped from 70MB to 90 MB. I'll have to see why.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
The 16GB internal memory is NAND. More foolishness spread around.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Just wait for the Sept release before doing this...
[Vibrant General] STi489:
I notice a huge diff on things like quik app cache and a few other things...Glad I decided to do the fix!
[Vibrant General] STi489:
If the video is still wanted..I can make one when my other vibrant arrives in the next day or 2.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Definitely still wanted.....
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
Are you referring to moving of the apps to dbdata? If so, I can assure you that that fix works. It certainly worked wonders on my Samsung. Worked on my friend's Vibrant as well.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
STi, that would be awesome, for everyone... thanks man.
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
This is just a quick video I made and posted... I apply RyanZA lagfix alpha 1 because it's the only one i've been able to use which lets me change the font.. if there is another one let me know!

Please don't flame about whether or not it's stable etc. I just took a few minutes to film this just to show a couple differences..

I know it's a terrible quality video and no voice narration lol sorry guys! i did what I could.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMVmL87H17c
[Vibrant General] AquaeAtrae:
Thanks for this thread and the video response. It gives me a much better sense of what the lagfix can do for my phone.
[Vibrant General] koreanjhee:
Okay, I got the lagfix two days ago and I was wondering if it was worth it to lose my CUSTOM fonts over a slight speed fix.

I saw the video and went back to my phone and realized it's still not that fast.

Definitely not as fast your phone in the video.

The lock screen takes some time to load, and home key seems to be even LESS responsive. hmm. the apps are crazy fast I realize now but it's making me re-evaluate the lagfix.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Thanks for the video. I see why you all do the lag fix then. Fortunately mine is as fast as the lag fix one..... sometimes the downloads in market will take like 5 seconds but mostly instantly...

Thanks again. I will not be applying the lag fix.. I got lucky cause that did take forever before the lag fix ..
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Same for me. I should do a video of my stock Vibrant. I have a ton of apps, no nasty slowdown like that..
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Ill do one also from a crappy dash, but it should hopefully show OK....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJmTBw_BR4Y

ok heres mine without the lag fix. Sorry for the horrible quality of video, but its taken from a old school Dash.....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobjase:
This has probably been discussed somewhere else but my searches have thus far proved fruitless.

In case you missed it from the subject: I like BakedSnack but I would like my phone to be as fast as possible (e.g. 2200 on Quadrant).

So I wanted to know if it was possible to run the CM6 Snap kernels on BakedSnack's ROMs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
nandroid backup and flash it? the worst that can happen is that it wont work.

However cm6 results are not just the kernel. Baked Snack is a sense driven rom, so its got all the htc bloat where as cm6 is built of AOSP which is what sense is built ONTOP of.

so you have this car thats already fast, AOSP; however you want a prettier chassis (HEAVIER) the car is now slower.

Changing the kernel wont give you those scores. However! it will depending on how its setup, i dont know much about the snap kernel( other than it being a kernel), will raise your quadrant scores.

also using setCPU and disabling many other services.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobjase:
For anyone curious: it does not work

Not the older snaps or the newer one. they all bootloop.

Thank goodness for nandroid
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:
Snap only works with CM6.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
So what is the best kernel to use with BakedSnack?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryohei47:
Baked kernel 5 if you want battery life, 4 if you want performance

Anyone using the 2.1 update in the UK. Notice if the constant. Network dropouts have been fixed?

Same Problem

I have the same drop out problem on my 1.6 O2 Streak. It goes from 5 bars to nothing without any intimation!

Also, it takes long to connect calls. Is there any improvement in connection time in 2.1?

US Streak flashed to 2.1

No dropouts or delays.

I installed this app yesterday, and I like the functionality, but I just noticed today that the clock isn't updating when the time changes. I selected the "Weather service indication" option which is supposed to fix the clock to it'll keep up with the time, but no luck yet. Any ideas? If the clock won't update itself, I don't see myself keeping the app. :/

Edit: I have a Droid X, so it's running the supported 2.1.

Edit again: Ok, after rebooting my phone, it seems to be keeping the time. Hopefully it'll keep working now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] djfuego:
Can you boot android off the internal memory that is not the 4 gig space?

Just to load a partitioning script that will format and partition the ext 4 gig space automatically using the phone?

I'm sure you can as some cooks have built roms incorporating android. So this would solve the partitioning issue for windows users..

Surely this can be done through the boot script?

Hello,

FYI, I use Galaxy S GT-I9000.

I bought on ebay a charger for car, offering 5V and 700mA (as the sector charger).

The product: http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290453364639

Unfortunately, I loose 3% of battery load within 20 minutes. I observed this behaviour with copilot 8 and Google Nav.

Did one of you guys solve the issue ? Do I need a charger that is not a USB-cable like ?

Would a 1000mA solve the problem ?

IE : http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40470

Even if a comment says that : "This will charge my HTC desire, however when using the GPS it actually fails to sustain the battery and it goes gradually flat "
[General Accessories] RedRamage:
I've never run into a problem with this myself, but I've always used the adapter that has the cord on it and ends with the mini USB. I'll have to check mine and see what the mA is on it sometime.
[General Accessories] netimes.com:
I can safely assume that the charger does not have 1000mA output... so chances are it will be more or less the same as your existing 700mA charger (which, of course, i

Of course, it's only 3 bucks to lose and you still earn an extra charger.

You may search from NeTimes for Universal 145cm Long Cable Car Charger - microUSB, it's more expensive but I am using it with HTC HD with Google Maps on for an hour without losing battery.... the phone gets pretty hot though. :o
[General Accessories] hav0c:
If the phone does charge on usb it should work on 700mA as well. usb is only 500mA
[Android Software Development] bas85:
Ok so im looking at purchasing another phone. I have a few options that i can go so im looking for opinions. Im Looking at letstalk.com and i notice that i can get the galaxy S for 49.99 or i can get the HD2 for free by tmobile. Im currently with ATT and sporting the Tilt2 which im thinking of unlocking because i need a windows mobile phone to run the programming for my business. But what im thinking is should i get the HD2 and put andriod on it or should i just spend the extra to get the galaxy S. Is i far more superior?

Thank you for your opinions. As you can see by my number of posts im a bit of a noob but been lurking around for a lil.:D
[Android Software Development] TP-Power:
I would definitely go for the samsung galaxy S. I tested them both at home. In the beginning the HD2 will do just fine but once you'll want to have some more apps you will regret you bought the windows mobile phone. I had bought the HTC Touch HD almost 2 years ago and I recently sold it to get myself the HTC Desire.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of windows mobile despite the fact that you can modify alot on these devices. I think that for most of the people android based phones are the best option.

Don't understand me wrong: android phones can be modified pretty easily too, but not as easy as a windows mobile phone.

Something about the Samsung Galaxy S:

- It feels a little bit cheap (casing)

- You get a lot of bangs for your bucks (Playing games on it will definitely be better seen the fact that it has PowerVR, correct me i'm wrong, and a A8 cortex cpu)

- It has a screen that had more vivid colors than the HD2 (and a little bit more than the HTC Desire).

- Camera works very well in the dark, even though it hasn't got a flash. (That's my thought.)

If you have any further questions, don't bother to ask!
