[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ilabstudios:
My main problem with the new updates are that it constantly restarts or crashes after using it for less than 30 minutes while before I could use it for several hours. Not sure whether it's to do with battery life or not as when it boots back in WM the battery is near full.

The biggest things that have helped conserve battery life for me are disabling GPS and background syncing but some apps require this to be enabled. :S

Phone seems to recover from "sleep"

FWIW, I set sleep mode = 1 and removed the overclock line from the startup.txt and the phone SEEMS to sleep and "wake up" just fine. Previously, I had problems with the phone going to sleep and when waking up, everything seemed fine, but the phone didn't work. With the overclock line removed, it seems to "wake up" with the phone working now.

Just a heads up to anyone who wants to save battery life.. might want to remove the overclocking line in the startup.txt..

Will an unlocked orange Desire be no different from an ordinary?

So if i get a locked orange Desire and unlock it, will it be the same as a ordinary unlocked Desire?

So, no special radios or anything?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
unless you flash a generic rom it will still have all the orange branding, apps and everything. unlocking it only makes it sim free
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josasp:
That i understand.

What i mean is if i can treat it (root+rom+radio) as any other Desire without accidentally "relocking" it or something?

From what i gather you only need to use specific orange radios if you are still running simlock, right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
i think some of the early froyo radios network locked phones locked to orange but the 2 newer ones are ok even if you are simlocked :)

Anybody heard anything about when the ruu might be released? i rooted my phone and removed some of the sprint apps which i guess removed my stock 4g splash screen when the device boots.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
Wow, the EXACT SAME THING happened to my phone. The only thing is, I didn't remove my stock boot splash screen animation. It just disappeared after I did the permanent root method. All I hear is the stock boot splash screen animation sound but see nothing but a black screen. I also removed some programs thinking that a factory reset would bring them back but that didn't happen. They are permanently gone. Hopefully, someone can post an RUU factory image file for the epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
i didn't remove my stock splash screen either it just went away after i rooted and removed some sprint apps. Mine does the exact same thing you describe.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
Yup, I was thinking of returning the phone to sprint for an exchange but in my opinion, that's not reason enough to return it. I'll just wait till someone hopefully releases a factory rom/image for the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] skeeterslint:
If you used the joeykrim root method or the one click root it moved the logo file and replaced it with a script that is keeping your phone rooted.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
ahh thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
I tried the instructions to reverse the root process to make the phone the way it was before root but I still do not get the animation screen back. Does it permanently delete the file.
[Epic 4G Android Development] linckraker:
Samsung phones dont use RUU. the stock tar or tarball has been released. the sprint logo goes away because playlogo turns into a script like someone else said. if you dont want/need root anymore you can pull the playlogo file from stock system dump and replace the script with the original using the adb explot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
Thanks for the helpful info. Do you know where I can find the stock system dump or the tar file?

edit:nvm, got it. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
Sorry for noob question but how would one get back to a completely stock phone by using the stock tar? do you load it through the recovery manager? thanks in advance
[Epic 4G Android Development] ImSoHungry:
i do not think what you guys are saying about root is true. I rooted using Joeykrims method, and i still have the Sprint 4G splash screen, even after deleting some stock sprint apps. Maybe you guys are doing something extra that is not neccessary...
[Epic 4G Android Development] pvtdonuts:
There's a thread that has a tar file containing the epics firmware, my question is how do we flash it
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but evidently, I'm not the only one since others are reporting the same thing. I followed his thread step by step. I copied and pasted all the commands as he had them. All I know is that my animated splash screen is gone but the sound is still there. The splash screen is there, however, when I power the phone off.

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-development/successful-odin-v3-flash!!!/

here is how to return to full stock, who says we need recovery :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] rose1:
Alright OP, I solved the issue. I now have permanent root with my start up animation. Here's where I believe we went wrong. The file called playlogo is what's used to trigger the exploit which should be 114 bytes in size. What joeykrim's root method does is it renames the original playlogo (14.09kb in size) file in the system\bin to playlogo-orig. Then makes the os read the playlogo-orig for the animation instead of the playlogo. What I think we did was we ran the root method 2 or more times and by doing that, it took the 114 byte playlogo file that joeykrim included and renamed it to playlogo-orig so we had playlogo and playlogo-orig as identical files in the system\bin (both were 114 bytes)so there was no boot animation. What I did was I pulled the original playlogo file from the system dump and pushed it to the system\bin location, then ran the root again and now I have a playlogo file that is 114 bytes and a playlogo-orig that is 14.09kb. Look in your system\bin folder, I bet you that both the playlogo-orig and playlogo files are the same size.. 114 bytes. If you need the original playlogo file, I attached it here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] 2.0t03speed:
Woot i got it fixed all i did was take the file you posted rename it to paylogo-orig put it on my sd card and then move it over and replace it with root explorer. Thanks again!

Good luck trying to return a phone with "voided warranty" by rooting the phone. "Root=Voided Warranty." I'm a Sprint tech and I have had many people call and ask if rooting any of the Android phones would void the warranty, answer is yes so be careful.
[Epic 4G Android Development] khalaan:
Oni,

with enough careful measures it is very easy to remove all traces of ever having rooted in the first place. That is like custom roms on windows mobile, I sent in so many WM devices for advanced exchanges some even with the hacked SPL on them and sprint couldn't have cared less.
[Epic 4G Android Development] herbthehammer:
I don't know because I haven't tried it yet but what about a full factory reset? It's under settings privacy. Another idea I haven't tried yet is getting into one of the programming screens (I forgot the ##numbers# + msl) and do a FULL phone reset. I don't know if the same programming numbers work on different model and manufacturer's phones but there was something that said how to do this in the evo section. It was posts about people trying to trick the phone and tower to give the 1.40 PRI. I was lucky when I bought my epic, the girl gave it to me no problem (my msl).
[Epic 4G Android Development] raiderep:
I can say that all factory reset does is erase all data. If you want to flash back to stock the directions in the link to sdx posted above will work. I used it earlier myself.

There may be battery performance improvements in the next update. My battery life is actually stellar. I set Timescape to update every 3 hrs and have brightness at about 75%. Off the charger at about 7am and at midnight that night I'm usually at around 40%. That's plenty good enough for me.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam_a200:
I dunno about the update and battery life but, Its 100% to 20% in 25-27 hours for me which i think is awesome as my usage is high. :o

Try setting the updates of your apps lower, check the Batt usage history from the settings menu to see what sucks the juice more.

If you want more battery life then you'll have to sacrifice some updates, which according to me ruins the entire purpose of having such a high-end smart Android device. Just use the phone the way you like it, have the charger with you always :p

Whatever phone you choose i think you are going to have this issue since batt usage depends solely upon the way you use your phone. In 2.1 live wallpapers suck more juice so you'll be advised to turn it off :rolleyes: its either functionality or performance, the decision is yours :cool:

I'm a big user. Even with my G1, I was happy with a day's use. Anyone who thinks they're gonna get days of use without a charge is kidding themselves. A smart phone with a big screen us gonna suck juice regardless of what you do. As many an XDA user will tell you, keep your charger or at least the cable with you wherever you are.
