[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
In my opinion there are key steps to insure a good battery life I perform this process every time I turn my phone on for daily use

First in settings/wireless/mobile networks I turn off data also roam and I change the signal to home only then in account and sync I turn off automatic sync and back ground data also i make sure that wireless is off as well then I turn my attention to applications and I clear data and force close any running program I'm not using for example gmail e mail browser Google search blue tooth I only force close apks that I know wont affect the system and how it runs also I should mention that this is done after I had calibrated my battery also I in spare parts I choose to make my end button put my phone to sleep these two steps are only done once now back to the process I run the over clock widget with dead3nce 9/14 stable kernel but also with every stable release he has put out I set the feq to 710 Max and 710 min and diff feq when screen off with 384 Max and 245 min this setup gives me high performance and long battery life I get 14 plus hrs with heavy use before ill hit 50% so u can imagine with moderate use will b or even standby time so I basically kill my phone if I'm not using it its in what I think is its lowest power state that I can get it at but its still on and ready so wen Im ready to use it I activate it and turn on what I need when I'm done I kill it again short of turning it off just thought I put this out in case it helps also I'm running cm6 rc1 and the 8/22 nightly I switch back and forth because of themes but the process is the same and so are my results so hope this helps good luck

It's 3G. Turn off your Mobile data when you going to be in an area with a bad signal for a long time.

As someone else said the collin_ph battery tweak works wonders too.

So I know his thread has been inactive for a bit, but after searching and reading for literaly hours ... I am still having issues trying to flash a custom splash screen to my Evo.. I got it to go once but have no idea how I did it.

Now I have the second EVO and want to change its screen but again no luck.

I am using flashboot but it keeps giving me the " failed " message.

Thanx for ANY help with this.

In a zip file

You can just rename the image to splash1.img and put it in a zip file with an associated text file. Here's the Android HTC screen from above.

Boot holding Volume down and Power down and answer yes to install.

I just installed it on my EVO via the zip file. It is a lot simpler that way to me.

Note the zip file is PC36IMG.zip, it is different for different Android phones. Been beating my head against the wall for a while.

Thanks,

Coty

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Cotys:
Image to Zip instructions

Graphic

1. Locate the graphic you want to use and size it (480x800).

2. Download the conversion tool (evosplash.zip I think) from Post #3 of this thread.

3. Run the EVOSplash.exe converter, click open and load your image, then click convert.

4. The resulting file will be something like evosplash1.rgb565, in the same location as the original file.

5. Rename "evosplash1.rgb565" to "splash1.img"

Text

6. There must be a .txt file to identify the image and what to do with it, I've attached the file for an EVO - it must be named "android-info.txt" (You can just use the one attached.)

Zip

7. Create a zip named "PC36IMG.zip" (must be uppercase before .zip). There will be only 2 files in this zip. Add your graphic "splash1.img" and the text "android-info.txt" to this zip.

Install

8. Copy the zip to the root of your SDcard - I normally use the Disk Drive option, email works also.

9. Hold down the power button and shutdown the phone as normal.

10. Reboot - Hold the volume down button and the power button simultaneously until the hboot screen loads. It may take a second, but hboot will find the zip and ask if you want to install.

11. It will ask if you want to install - Volume up for yes

11. It will then ask, do you want to reboot, volume up for "yes" and your EVO reboots and your new boot screen is there.

I just created the PC36IMG.zip attached in about 2 minutes and tested the instructions on my EVO. It worked for me. Good Luck!!!

There are some awsome graphics on the XDA site for other model Androids. You can "Steal" their graphics and go through the process above to make an EVO version. Just be careful with the .txt file, EVO uses PC36IMG, others use a PC32IMG. EVO must be PC36IMG and the text file must contain the PC36000.... text file attached.

Hi guys,

If you have or have had the X10 aswell as the Samsung Galaxy S, please give me some feedback in this thread.

Thanx

- Martin
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peo306:
my advice x10 coz sony ericsson more trusted mark and not big different in specifications

regards
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berbecverde:
I took a look to the thread,and everybody is saying the Galaxy is way faster and 100 times better, so there is no point for us X10 user to go there and tell that the X10 is better.There are a lot of threads here about the X10 Vs. Samsung ,Desire etc. I choosed the X10 with the best build,design,and almost if not the same specs as the other phones around.(and multitouch is not an issue for me).:)

So choose what you like.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin5000:
Being a thread in the Galaxy S forum, I am aware that people there might be a bit biased. However, I must say that the Samsung does feel snappier so apparantly the better hardware aren't just there to look good on the specs. The display also looks good but I'm a tad worried about the pixel density on the Samsung after being an X10 owner (which I still am, for that matter).

However, you don't get better tests than from people using it every day, so I was wanting to hear pros and cons from people who have or have had both devices.

- Martin

EDIT: In the other thread, I've made a list of what I think are the pros and cons of each phone. However, I've only read about the Galaxy S and spend a little time with one in a store.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
I'd wait for the 2.1 upgrade and see how they compare then.... I'm anticipating some significantly noticeable improvements...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martin5000:
My contract ends on september the 26th, so I can't get the new phone until the day after. I hope the 2.1 update is release at least a week before that. The same goes for the 2.2 update for the Galaxy, which is to be released soon(ish) aswell.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
Hi if you put the thread in galaxy s forum I'm sure you will get mainly positive answers. I have a galaxy s and I will just list what I think.

First the bad

GPS is currently not very good, sometimes it works well and usually gets a fix very quickly but all too often it will randomly put you facing the wrong way if you stop in a queue and sometimes will not get a signal or lose signal

The screen although perfect size and excellent multitouch response uses a strange subpixel layout which when you look closely you can see the individual leds this makes the text fuzzy when small and also makes edges fuzzy (most people don't seem to notice this but I look close at my screen)

no camera flash - night vision mode is good though and prob gives better pics of outdoor night images than most - not good for close/indoor night stuff

The good

Im not gonna say a lot here (I'm sure you have already heard loads) but I will say this is the fastest phone I have used, no other android I've used is as fast, good at playing games and general use. It's a nice size - seems small even though it has a large screen (which contary to what I say above is the best screen I have used on any phone - just wanted to let you know it is not perfect - all amoled screens seem to have that effect)

Another big plus is that it's just about the most popular android phone there is and likely to be very well supported by Samsung and all of us.

It also has a few bonuses which you are unlikely to see on most other phones (tv out, free good apps from samsung, dlna, wifi tethering etc)

As you can tell the galaxy isn't perfect but it's the one I waited for so that's where my vote lies (especially if like me you like to play a lot of games many of the best need multi touch)

still you may have different needs than me, I suggest reading all the reviews you can find and trying them out if you can (try gsmarena for reviews I find them nice and detailed and generally unbiased)

EDIT - Just looked at your other post and see you already have a x10, my advice then would be to wait for the 2.1 update coming soon and see what you think, unless you have lots of money or can do an exchange relatively cheap then you might just wanna do that. Otherwise you might wanna hold out and see if anything even better comes out soon, im thinking 4.3" super high res dual core or 2ghz I'm sure they can't be too far off and your x10 should do until they do
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viks X10i:
very unbiassed reply..i'd like you to wait for some time... and compare both phones with upgrades.. every device has its pros and cons.. so know what you want out of a device and make your decision. possibly by that time something better than these two may come out in the market... theres no ending for this..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunswick000:
Id have to say that if the Samsung S had a decent flash (why they wouldn't include one is crazy), i would be pretty tempted to jump ship. They've already ported CM6 to it so the guys at Cyanogen must think its a worth while device and there support would be good enough for me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcticreaver:
galaxy is way better in almost every way. co-worker has it. played with it and from the first few minutes i knew that the galaxy s was a better phone. no question.

and every phone that came out or recently came out this year is moving on to 2.2 or even to gingerbread. x10 only going to 2.1? while 2.1 is better than 1.6, i'm still a bit disappointed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badasschris:
The news of a psp phone intrigues me. If you like games I'd wait to hear more about that.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naplesbill:
I cant speak for the actual Galaxy S model but I did have the Captivate for 28 days. I loved the screen and it did play Asphalt HD very well. The GPS was mostly uses less and I wasnt crazy about the soft buttons. The lack of a camera led or notification led is a real bummer.

I have to be honest though. The Captivate was the buggiest Android (oem build) I have ever used. There are ways to "fix" some of the bugs but the GPS and shut down/reboot seem to persist.

Every phone has issues but the Captivate had a couple that I just couldnt live with.

The X10 has been a completely different experience for me. Very well built and very stable OS. I am not sure if this is thanks to AT&T having a newer build or not. I have no regrets with switching to the X10.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nankov:
+1 The led light and the notification led are very important to me. I agree with everything naplesbill said. Just to add a few more things, the screen on the x10 i think produces more realistic colors and thats with 16k atm so should be even better with 2.1 and 16m also text is sharper on the x10 vs the galaxy so if you browse and read things alot that is somthing to consider. The x10 is very stable and no lag like the samsung, its very well build and its beautiful. Overall great powerfull stable phone with unique looks. X10 hasnt let me down.

Ok - yes I use hotmail....

I see andriod 2.1 is not yet supported but 2.2 seems to work.

I would really like to use it on my Wildfire - calendar and contacts sync is very important for me.

So how can we make it work?

I've looked around and seen a froyo client won't work nor does the Touchdown or K9 apps (I tried K9).

But the galaxy s email client is reported working - I've found the apk but am not sure how to install it (usual install fails on my rooted phone).

Anyone any ideas?

I'm assuming you're talking about this PC36IMG.zip from this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7978758#post7978758

If so, it seemed to work fine for me...make sure you're flashing the one in post #18 not the OP.

the only thing I can guess is to make sure you wipe your cache and dalvic before flashing the rom and/or restoring a nand backup.

I had flashed fresh 3.2 and I flashed the pc36img file and I didn't even need to flash the rom again or my nand backup.

I would pull the battery, boot to bootloader, check what hboot you have to see if the pc36img flashed correctly, then go into recovery and make sure the recovery updated to 1.8 (look at the bottom of the screen in recovery), then do a factory data reset, wipe data twice, wipe dalvic twice, and then try to restore your backup and report back.

You mention you cant get past hboot or the fresh flash screen. Do you mean fresh's boot animation?

when I've flashed fresh roms the boot animation usually is on for about 5 minutes before it proceeds. Make sure you're waiting long enough once you get to that point.

I'm interested also in removing those specific icons. The battery indicator is very inaccurate.
[Vibrant General] sj_martin:
There is a "fix" for the inaccuracy. It's just loading up more graphics with incremental changes.

I use the switch pro widget which already contains a very accurate battery meter along with a bunch of other goodies.

The clock is useless to me simply because the lock screen before you get into your home screen contains a huge clock.

Hey dear XDA people :D

I just wanna know if its possible in anyway to get the stock launcher from the normal Android Donut (1.6) or the one from Motorola Droid/Milestone in a Froyo ROM like CM6 final instead of ADW launcher?
