I would urge people to be careful ordering from this company .... we ordered 2 units the beginning of the month (Sept) and have heard NOTHING from them about shipping or delays or anything ... you prolly want to avoid them .....

Cheers

Is this an issue with my new ROM or are the Google servers down preventing me from associating an account with my phone (so I can get to the Market)???

Edit- Did a factory reset (right after flashing the new stuff... Why the hell would I need to do that???) and now it works.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprior:
I'm not in a rush to hack my Droid Incredible right now, but want to keep the possibility open for after the official 2.2 comes out, so it seems the recommendation is to install Unrevoked Forever since we don't know if the Dinc will still be rootable after the update (I actually believe it will be eventually, but no guarantees). I am NOT planning to install a custom ROM right now, my entire goal is to have S-OFF and then go back to stock enough to catch the official OTA when it comes.

I've been reading the instructions (and the warnings) and just wanted to make sure I've got the idea before I do anything. Can anyone point out any flaws in the steps below:

1. I downloaded the ﻿HTC_Incredible_Downgrade.zip from xda forums which I believe has the stock recovery PB31IMG.zip (146,445,757 bytes).

2. Install unrevoked3 to root the phone.

3. Download unrevoked-forever.zip. Install it with the custom recovery that unrevoked3 installed.

4. reboot and see the S-OFF setting

5. Then use the custom recovery to install the stock PB31IMG.zip from step 1.

So before I do this I want to make sure:

* Will I then be back to stock in every way except that S-OFF is set?

* Will any of this procedure wipe my phone clean so I lose installed apps and data?

* Am I then ready to catch the stock OTA install of Froyo when it comes out?

I suspect a bunch of people are thinking of doing this right now.

Thanks in advance

Steve
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Welp

Remember that step 2 is far more involved; you need the special HBOOT drivers, and no HTC Sync.

I believe the 3 stars are:

* Yes

* No (since Step 5 is just flashing the original recovery)

* Yes
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprior:
Which step do you expect to wipe my phone? I wouldn't have expected the rooting part to wipe it since I'm not talking about installing a custom ROM. I was more worried about the recovery to stock to wipe it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Whoops

Whoops ... misread your step 5. No, you should be fine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MachString:
you dont really need to flash the entire stock rom just the recovery it can be found at http://adrynalyne.us/ here is a direct link http://adrynalyne.us/files/recovery/stock/PB31IMG.zip

Edit: in your step 5 you will need to use hboot to install a stock recovery

ps the stock recovery only is like 3.3mb the one you have is 140mb and will wipe your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berzerker7:
Uhm, you can't flash one part of the PB31IMG.zip, so if it's 146MB, it's most likely a system image with wiping data and cache, so yes, it will wipe your phone. You can find a stock recovery only PB31IMG.zip somewhere on the forums here. Search around.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron Rodgers Beard:
I'm currently rooted with unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever. I have yet to mess with my radio or flash any roms. So to be eligible to get the over the air update I need to just flash that stock recovery zip?

Yes.

oops. lol. delete.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprior:
OK, unrevoked3 and forever both installed now (everything went VERY smoothly), haven't done the recovery to stock yet.

So I notice that I've got the Superuser Permissions app installed now. Do I need to unroot before I can do an OTA update to Froyo, or can I keep root and still do the OTA? If for some reason I wanted to give up root at some point what would be the minimum I need to do?

Do I lose root when I reinstall the stock recovery to allow the OTA?

Steve
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprior:
Are there any docs or usage info about the Superuser Permissions app that unrevoked3 installs? I'm not sure what to do with it.

Steve
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverxbv2:
What I don't get is the part about regaining superuser access with an update.zip after receiving the OTA. Where can I find said file? I've searched and googled and can't find it.

I have rooted, s-off-ed, removed some apps, and got the stock recovery from adrenalyne and reflashed that back. now when i try to go to recovery, i come to just a phone symbol with a red exclamation mark and the only way to reboot is to pop the battery out. is that what stock recovery looks like? or have i boofed the process at some point?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patches152:
Yep, that's stock recovery. You need to load clockwork recovery, I think that's how you fix it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k.electron:
ok thanks. well i want to leave it at stock until after the OTA comes out. then i will put any custom recovery if i feel the need to.

also, titanium downloaded busybox, what is busybox and how does it affect my ability to apply an OTA?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MachString:
At the stock recovery you press vol up and power and you get a menu you where its possible to reboot, install undate.zip...ect...

From what I hear you only need the stock recovery and the stock build to get and install the official ota.

If your rooted that should be fine the ota will likely remove root but who cares with s-off!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron Rodgers Beard:
Ok so lets see if I did this correctly. Im rooted with unrevoked forever. So I just Downloaded the pb31mg file and did a reboot into recovery via rom manager. I then applied an (update.zip) from the sd card which was the pb31mg.zip. I then reboooted. Is there anything I can check to make sure Im stock enough to recieve the ota?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MachString:
A PB31IMG.Zip is installed with hboot not recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron Rodgers Beard:
Thanks , hope I diddnt screw anything up by doing it the other way....everything seems to be working fine. Ill do it threw hboot. I appreciate your help Mach String.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron Rodgers Beard:
When I go thru HBoot it says do I want to install recovery.zip, it doesnt say pb311.zip, should I remove anything from my sdcard so that it just reads that pb311 or is that what the recovery was...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MachString:
Hboot looks inside the pmg31.zip and finds the recovery.img so your all good.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I think, for internet reading this is a good test and producing the results we might expect, but for more general purposes this test is flawed. http://blog.laptopmag.com/android-b...d-handsets-trail/comment-page-1#comment-50669

Method:

"

First, we download My Settings and Advanced Task Killer, two free apps that are useful regardless.

Then, we open My Settings, and do the following:

Turn screen brightness to 40%, and turn off auto brightness.

Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS location, cell location, and auto sync.

Deactivate screen timeout; that is, make sure the screen stays on indefinitely.

In the Web browser, we turn off Flash support and plug-ins.

We placed the phone in an area that was receiving at least 4 bars of service."

I'm not trying to overly just support the device because I have it, I think many of us knew we wouldn't have great performance when reading black text on white background. So, this only tests on LCD's strength and AMOLED's weakness. Next, the SAMOLED specifically is way to bright to be reading indoors at this % brightness, LCD maybe not quite as much so it'd be best to have like either most common setting (you'd actually need to have devices report this for something accurate, not going to happen), auto brightness would've even been better even though you have manufactures (I think) being able to have too much control over 'perceived' best practice. They removed plug-ins, something I think the Streak might struggle with next to the mighty decoding ability of the hummingbird.

Also, one important thing to note is, they didn't make note of the fact that the Galaxy phones have independent brightness control within the internet browser, perhaps this was set too high/low, I'm not sure how it plays relative to the general brightness (e.g. does it add to the setting to make it even brighter within the browser? Does it override the setting for the browser?). Them not acknowledging this setting gives me some pause, even though it could come at the cost of the battery life even more.

Last and most important, we do more than just browse the internet on our phones. We do need things like video tests, white text on black backgrounds, gaming, audio and other tests run.

In the end, this'll confirm what some users have complained about when it comes to their battery life.

I put the leaked 2.2 update onto my phone and it has been great. I have only had one issue with it thus far. Starting yesterday my battery life plummeted drastically out of the blue.

Is your phone staying constantly awake? Is there an App causing it stay running? Are all of your apps up to date?

I use Advanced Task Killer and my phone goes to sleep after 1 min. 2.2 Worked perfect with great bettery life for about 2 weeks. But last night everything went downhill. It maybe an App i downloaded? but i looked in my apps and things seemed to look normal.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
Do you have the task killer automatically set to kill after a certain amount of time? If you do you may be killing processes only to have them be restarted right away by android system, then killed again, restarts...and so on. That will kill your battery like crazy! To be honest, try going 24 hours without your task killer and see what happens, I noticed an improvement. The way android manages it's processes there is no need for a 3rd party task killer. Also try the KingzKernel's they are fantastic with battery life.

Why Task Killers are not needed.http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/

I'm having the exact same issue. I just flashed SkyRaider 2.5.2 the other night and Radio 2.15.

The problem I'm having is that my charge is taking almost 4-5 hours to charge when it use to only take a couple hours. Also, my battery is draining QUICK.

I just clocked it and I went from 100% battery after a 12-hour charge to 93% in about five minutes.

PLEASE, someone help with this issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexdw369:
I never had any issues with the original 7/28 leak (or whatever the date was), and once having the bugs worked out, never bothered with the 8/1 leak. I did the 8/26 leak as soon as it came out and was plagued with charge times exceeding my 7-hour per day sleep schedule, and battery life that would drop drastically with the screen off. I literally went from 40% to 5% in a matter of two hours with my phone sitting on my desk, screen off. I used nandroid restore to go back to the 7/28 leak i had backed up. I'm not sure where the bug is, but I hope Verizon/HTC release this update soon, so the OTHER 95% of Incredible owners can start *****ing too. Then maybe something will get done.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anothen:
I tried bump charging this morning and it made no difference whatsoever. Withing 2 hours I'm at 35%. No Facebook syncing or really anything syncing for that matter... Just a crappy battery issue. Tried different Kernels and no difference which leads me to believe it may be Froyo or the Rom I'm using which is the virtuous Rom but that doesn't make sense....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viralwhite:
I'm surprised this has not been addressed on a much larger scale within the XDA community. There is no way anyone could enjoy their Dinc with that much battery drain.

I am using the 3500 mAh battery and with stock phone and no root I was able to charge my phone in about an hour and could get nearly 2 days with heavy usage. Now I'm not sure I can even get 12 hours, but I haven't fully tested that theory yet.

My plan today is to do a full charge (Which will be done in a matter of minutes) and then I am going to do some clocking to see exactly how long it takes to discharge.

Regardless, why is this not a major concern in the community? I only see a few posts relating to it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viralwhite:
Ok, so I think this has been brought up before.

When my phone is at a complete IDLE (89%), my CPU is rocking out at 900+MHz.... I think this is what is causing my severe battery drain. Can any developers respond to this or can someone else advise? My sister who uses her stock phone with no root, etc is idling between 245MHz and 320MHz.

My battery is dropping way to quick and this has to be the answer. Please help. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzmartipants:
Thing is...

If you're on this forum, you're probably a constant tweeker. The so called "battery issue" is all over the place depending on who you talk to. I wrote "Making Your Droid's Battery Incredible" over at my website, but essentially you need to figure this out yourself. Battery usage depends on so many things like the programs you run, the kernel you're using, and the battery you have (and the condition of said battery). If there were a uniform problem, it would be much easier to identify.

Oh, and if you're humming along at 900mhz while idle, try SetCPU.

That is possible. It may not be getting 2 way communication but still have +5v and gnd in working order. Does it show up as a problem device in system properties, assuming its windows? If the phone is charging, I would tend to believe it to be more of a driver issue rather than phone issue.

Q&A
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
Its strange but noticed that my phones whit coloring looks a little more greenish than my.friends vibrant. And then i compared my captivate to my gfs and here whites r more white colored like my friend.

I don't get it, did a lot if the models come with different screens that display differently?
[Captivate General] iamcombat:
The Captivate has the AMOLED screen.......the only one....
[Captivate General] Fortune090:
It has a Super AMOLED screen...
[Captivate General] labbu63:
seems like someone needs a little more research

wait what no the whole entire galaxy s line has super amoled hmm its maybe the tint thats changed a little
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
A Super ALOMED screen is still AMOLED.

Anyway, just because it is the same model screen doesn't mean there are not variations in the mfg process that could cause slight differences. With the amount of screens that they are pushing out I am sure they are using equivelent components that may not be exactly the same.

Also depending on the allowed tollerances, 2 screen with slighly different temperature ratings could both still pass QA.

Personally my screen is very cold, whites tend to have a slight tint of blue to them. I prefer warmer displays but the SAMOLED is too nice to ignore even if the picture is cold.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
It's possible that the screens are going through a rapid break-in process and the screens look different because they have been used different amounts.

Or it could just be differences within manufacturing tolerances.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
Well this all makes sense. Mine has a greenish tiny, my gf and frie.d have a warmer orange redish tint and i have a lil blue green tint.

This follows the rgb thing in a way. I think different screen manufacturers favor one of the latter.
[Captivate General] iamcombat:
That's funny cause the AT&T commercial specifically says "The first and only Super AMOLED screen" or something of that nature....
[Captivate General] FIREONHIGH:
screen is fine, got mine on launch day,,,im sooooo loving this phone,i was using omnia2....
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Only samsung makes the the screen for this phone.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
AT&T says a lot of things.

The entire Galaxy S line up has Samsung's "Super AMOLED" screen.

They may make the screen, but that doesn't mean they make all the materials used to manufacture the screen.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Different materials cause wider manufacturing tolerances. It's not different manufacturers favoring one color over another in this situation.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
I really wish there could be a straight answer instead of speculating why our phones are cooler and warmer in color. I mean the screen still looks freakin great, but i wonder if there is a way to manipulate it through software.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I agree. I would love it if phones finally started letting you adjust color temperature like computers.
[Captivate General] Amoled:
My screen is also blue. I´m waiting it to go away in time, but I´m really sceptic about it...

It´s easy to test after you download somekind of a flashlight app and use it in the dark, mine gives the same blueish light like those cheap led-flashlights, so definytely not real whites in my unit...
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
There is no such thing as real white when it comes to light (what your screen is putting out). I would prefer the screen to be warmer, but it is still white.

For more information look up color temperature.
