[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
Is anyone having any issues with their zio being laggy while typing with the keyboard in the browser? I'm currently using,skyfire, and the keyboard laggs horribly, ill hit a key and 2-3 seconds or so later it will show up on the screen! Also it does this in the stock browser. If I type at a slower pace it seems to register quicker. This is kind of an annoyance. It seems like a memory issue?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I don't have that problem at all. However if you are experiencing this issue, lag is not really a problem of memory so much as it is usually a problem with processor speed and number of apps being run in the processor at once. In laptops and desktops lag is often the result of slow hard drives. In the Zio however It is most likely processor load, especially since Android closes out processes when memory gets low.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
I tried all the optmize this and that utils. What i found out is that if i removed everything it ran much faster. I would lke to learn how to move things to my SD card. Like "My Tracks" The latest version seems to not close when I stop using it. I know its supose to close as other things are open. It seems to be faster when I do a force stop from settings/applications/long press on application. From what i've read some like app killers but the purists do not. Is there a way to force installs on your SD card?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] seabhac:
I know it has to be rooted to be able to force apps to run completely from the SD card, but how that's done I don't know. What I've found frustrating is I copy everything from 1 SDcard and paste it into another formatted SDcard and the phone doesn't recognize most the camera pics or files for my programs. I have to put my old card back in for them to all be recognized. In the new SDcard the phone thinks 80% of the videos and camera pics and others are corrupted files when I try to copy them from 1 SD card to another. not sure why. but I would also like to know how to move and run apps from the SDcard as I'm getting an 8gb card to replace my 1gb card and would like to save space on my phone's memory.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] seabhac:
Network Sharing

I had another thought I wanted to run by you all. I have issues on my home computer with the USB ports having issues reading memory cards from flash/thumb drives and phones like my Zio etc.. Windows recognizes the drive there but acts like there's no media in it. I've tried it all to get them to work but for some reason my USB ports on my system will ONLY allow me to use input devices like mice, keyboards etc.. happens on multiple windows systems, vista 64 and 7 64bit. updated drivers and all.. believe me I've tried it all to the point where I'm jsut planning to replace the motherboard.

The point of that preamble is that I know we can connect into a local network for internet access and the like, I know I can tether and use my device as a wifi,. the question is this.. could I ever connect to a local home network and share my SDcard as a shared folder on my network so I could bypass the USB issue and access the SDcard through a network. I've never heard of it yet, but I thought I'd see if anyone here has any idea if it's possible. Thanks!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Has anyone been able to stream audio to their car/bluetooth radio using the zio? My gf's car has a2dp streaming capability but I can't seem to get zio to stream audio. It pairs up flawless but no audio streaming(sigh) please offer help
[Kyocera Zio M6000] razor950:
I don't mind helping out with getting Clockwork Recovery on this phone.

If your phone is rooted, please do the rest and if not try out z4root on market.

Using terminal on phone or adb shell on pc

cat /proc/mtd

then based on that change the # to what it should be

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/system.img bs=4096

Then zip/rar those img files and upload to sendspace or mediafire and post here.

it's possible that phone doesn't use mtd partitions so if you get a error with cat /proc/mtd please let me know...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
It is ported (notice my sig?).

Word of warning, running clockwork WILL do a format, so be sure to have Ti Backup or something to restore your apps/settings.

Also if you do a nandroid restore of a backup you WILL also lose the Kyocera boot logo, replaced by a white bar.

http://db.tt/txPHr0M

To get in to clockwork, reboot in to recovery (use koushes ROM manager to do it from the phone or use adb from your computer or from a terminal emulator on the phone) and as soon as you see the android w/ the box, press the red power key and it will then fully boot to Clockwork.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
@Yanily66: No you wont have to unroot when the update comes, although it is extremely easy to root/unroot. Like a single click of a button. No worries. :)

Thought I would quote this again, to drive the nail in a bit further. :p

Clockwork is definitely ported, although wiping data/cache on reboot-to-recovery.

We could use some help in porting 2.1 over though (efforts have stalled).

Im personally thinking of just waiting for the 2.x release. The fact that the zio can easily run 2.2, perhaps Kyocera will surprise us with a 2.2 update.

In the meantime, I wait. *****ing about something we have no control over is pointless.

/me retreats to the shadows...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Don't know if it will help the cause, but I've posted (a while ago, and someone else actually jumped in to bump it!), a call for help @ Modaco
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
I did a factory reset, and downloaded opera mini browser and it seems the problem has fixxed! Also is anyone using Setcpu? Id like to hear some input on how the device handles using setcpu!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
Yea I"m LarryP :)

Has anybody thought of buying a Droid X with bad ESN and flashing to cricket? I don't want to get stuck futzing with setting though. In a previous life I Had a WM Omnia i910 that was flashed to Cricket but setting would not stick.

The problem that I see is the processor speed I'm afraid well never be qute happy with the Zio.. thoughts?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] XboxOmac:
What makes it so hard for CricKet to let the update go? People are annoyed being stuck in 1.6. And I want a ROM for it so that my Zio is focused on speed. :(
[Kyocera Zio M6000] XboxOmac:
The processor speed is quite low with the Zio. I don't think the Zio deserves it's $250 worth. It's not worth it. I've been regretting of having bought the phone.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
I'll try it right now, I too am interested. I'll post a quick experience review tonight and then a more in depth review of battery life and perceived reaction time over the next couple days seeing how it handles at different clockspeeds
[Kyocera Zio M6000] yanily66:
Ok so i did the root.. and it made my phone go crazzy.. too slow.. its it because i have to many apps? how many memory should i leave in my phone unused? i have 53MB Internal storage free? its that to little? whats the diffrence between internal storage and Internal memory because i have 53MB Storage, but only 26MB Memory.. please let me know thank you
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Dont know why it affected your phone negatively. No one I know has had any problems with the 1 click root app. You may have too many processes running in the background?. Try reducing the number of apps installed, ie: removing apps you no longer use. Or, if you have no practical use for your phone being rooted, then just unroot your phone, and uninstall the app. ;)

Also try installing some sort of advanced task killer so you can see what is running in the background. android 1.6 doesn't do very well at managing its memory usage (2.1/2.2 do a much better job and dont really need a task killer app to be ran), so a task killer is a plus -- allowing you to see and kill any apps that are running in the background that you dont wish to be running.

Internal memory = RAM

Internal storage = your space available for apps installed/to be installed.

Because it is a co-op effort between kyocera and cricket. 2 companies working on one product = delays. You all should know this...

Again... This is a low-to-midrange phone. Had you done your research beforehand, Im guessing you would have seen this and probably not bought the phone.

For a lower end droid with the system stats this has, the price is definitely reasonable. The cpu and memory enable this phone to run 2.2 easily.

The majority of the performance issues are not phone related, they are operating system related.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Wow, did you actually pay full price for the phone? I don't know anyone (at least in person)who has actually paid $250 for it. There are usually so many specials going on for the online Cricket store and here in town most of the cell phone stores run discounts out the wazoo... I actually got this phone for under $200 (a fair amount under actually) and for what I paid for it, I have yet to see anything for the price that comes close.

Of course being someone who is used to shopping for PCs, I knew the specs before I bought it.

Now that I think about it...I am not sure I have ever met anyone who has paid full price for any Cricket phone. This is my 3rd phone from them and I have never paid full price for any of them.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
SetCPU froze my phone up constantly, couldn't check it out XP

And putting my two cents regarding purchase price I got my Zio for $125 (+ 1 free month) from some guy on Craigslist
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:

I love that it takes over 6 months to update our phones from an operating system that's 2 years old to begin with
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
First, Android 1.6 was released in 2009, not 2008 so it is still not 2 years old nor was it 2 years old when the phone went on sale. It is still not even close to being 2 years old.

That being said, you're the one that bought the phone not knowing when it would be updated so...don't cry about it now.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
I tried out setcpu and was a little laggish for me as well, on the otherhand overclock widget seems to be working fine!

[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
Thanks for letting new know I'll try it out
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
so is there a noticeable improvement in response time?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
Yea I actually think it did improve the response time, apps pop open quickly, the screens swipe smooth and fast. Also I like the option to clock it down while the screen is off!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
If you don't mind sharing, what speeds do you set it at?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] chris.ana25:
setcpu has done a lot for me, never made mine lag, its always speedy just the way i like it:)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
I have it clocked to 480 min and 600 max screen on and 320 over 320 while screen off. Setcpu is a nice app, what I really didn't like is if you have a profile set for screen off it would hang up for a few seconds when turning the screen back on. Oc widget seems to wake up quicker.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
Overclock Widget offers the option to set clockspeed >600.... Hmmm.....
[Kyocera Zio M6000] chris.ana25:
clockwork recovery. I am doing what u guys told me to press the red button when I c the status bar but it boots up normal
[Kyocera Zio M6000] chris.ana25:
Is there any way to use the track ball to lock the screen but it dont turn off. Like when i watch movies i could hit it so when i touch it nothing happens
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I would presume that this would be easy to find out. Just play a movie and give it a shot...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
setcpu it tells me slower is better for every test. I guess that means you spent 1.99 for no reason?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
Didn't pay for it ;) lol got a promotional 1 year membership with appbucket.net for $10 = "free" paid apps for a year

Zio internet issues

Can someone tell me if it's just my device or is it the device itself, but I tend to lose internet capability/connectivity throughout the day. At first I would just pull the battery for a few seconds and when I powered the device on again, it would work. Once I rooted my phone, I was able to use quickboot to "one click" reboot the phone. Ive been using that method for about 3/4 months now. So back to the question at hand...is it just my phone or is it everyones phone that has consistent internet connectivity issues.

**my internet on the phone works along with barnacle wifi tethering so it's not a matter of my account not having the "right plan".

SUMMARY:

1. Does zio have known issues with internet connectivity?

2. Can someone confirm that firmware version 2.2 can/cannot be root?

Any thoughts/answers?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] XboxOmac:
1.6 (Donut), seems to have glitches and thing bugs. I sometimes have Wi-Fi on all night connected to my internet, next morning, it is unable to turn off Wi-Fi, until I reboot the phone. I have problems with airplane mode, too, but everything fixes once I reboot. I could never keep the phone on for more than a day. It freezes, or these bugs pop out.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Who says it can not be rooted?

Seriously...it takes all of 20 seconds to find dozens of websites with "how to root FROYO" videos and howto guides...

Now my question, you're posting in a Kyocera Zio thread about Android 2.2 but as far as I know, no one has a Zio with 2.2 on it and except for one post from some random poster in this thread, no one is saying that Cricket is going to provide a 2.2 upgrade anytime in the foreseeable future. So..are you just curious or do you know something we don't?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
would anyone consider buying their android phone (or tablet) Q1 2011?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
setcpu is free for XDA users...

but even if it wasn't, why would you pay to get it illegally? it's not like what those warez sites do is in any way difficult or time-consuming.

edit: just read your post again and realized you were talking about overclock widget instead of setcpu... the part about paying for warez still stands, tho.

also, i hope you didn't give your credit card info to people who don't think there's anything wrong with stealing money.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Judging from just about any given conversation on almost any website, I don't think more than a very small handful of people have a problem stealing things online. I mean look how many people don't see it as dishonest to steal music. That in and of itself shows the mentality of "right and wrong" these days. I mean, stealing isn't like raping baby seals and clubbing baby puppies to death so...it is no big deal (or so that seems to be the standard justification for almost everything dishonest).
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
i'm just saying that stealing money from independent developers and stealing money from you aren't much different. it's one thing to steal from massive corporations, but most android developers are ordinary people like you and me. and they're already trying to con you into paying them for something they didn't pay or work for, when you could just get it the same way they did. i certainly wouldn't trust them...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Stealing is stealing period, corporation or not (some people seem to forget that corporations are made up of individual people, the vast majority who are just trying to get by paycheck to paycheck...not everyone at a company is a billion dollar a year CEO). The fact that you would make this statement proves the point of my previous post about attitudes towards stealing on the internet.

Even if I was given to this argument however, I would submit that not all musicians whose music is running rampant on the internet are represented by a "large corporation".
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
What case do u guys use for zio? I got a cheapo one on ebay but it makes typing so difficult
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I just use a leather case for carrying it in. I don't use one that the phone is still in when I type on it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
so when someone downloads setcpu for free from xda, that isn't stealing?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I believe the developer has provided the download links in a thread on the forum. So, I am guessing that if you download it from the links he provided then...no,it is not stealing.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:
well that shut me up.

has anyone thought about modding a hero froyo rom? I know it sounds stupid but a friend of mine was telling me that he was working with one for a non-htc phone ( can't remember which) because it was the easiest solution

[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
While it is undeniably true that stealing is stealing, whether be from a corporation or an individual, it does make a difference. Even though a large corporation is made up of individuals, those individuals aren't going to suffer like would an independent individual. The corporations make enough as is and are taking advantage of this capitalism to the maximum extent that they can. The upper management would rather cut the peons pay and/or jobs rather than lower their own salaries and profits. Those in the lower income brackets should feel no remorse for pirating as it's this capitalism that is driving a quickly increasing rift between the income brackets.

It is a problem when people in the lower income brackets go cannibalistic and feed off each other. For example, while I have no issues with most piracy, I have huge issues with people selling bootlegs in parking lots. If someone gets paid, it should be whoever put the work into it. Getting it for free is much more 'just' than paying an illegitimate middleman. In this case the dude in the parking lot is on a similar level to the RIAA. This is also why services like appbucket.com are messed up. People should only feed off of the larger corporations, I feel they have a right to it, and I present this as evidence:

http://www.ourfuture.org/institute/blog-entry/2010124802/income-gap-will-grow

http://washingtonindependent.com/91038/with-income-gap-at-80-year-high-solutions-remain-elusive

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21yrBbhLTV8

Now I realize with Android apps, most are from little developers so the whole 'corporations are big and rich' argument doesn't stand. I just felt like ranting a bit :p

This is quite off topic, but it seems most of this thread is off topic since I created it for the purpose of only discussing porting/rooting and requested people to create their own threads so perhaps the mods would get the point and give us our own sub-forum.
