I'm new to flashing roms and... My first was a deodexed stock 2.2 from steelh.. With riptide theme.. Now I'm on fresh 3.2 and it nice very smooth and stable.. He is using a new kernel our something from htc it sprint.. I left phone idle/sleep and checked it every now and then.. Took 1 hour 50 mins to loose 1% battery..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ep3n3wp:
I think the next rom I'm going to flash is either going to be one of the xxxvirusxxx roms or the osx chihuaha.. Its as 50/50 sense/aosp rom..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
I have tried CM6, nectarchy's Burnt Dorid, and Virus new Carbon rom, but none have pleased me as much as netarchy's HTC OTA Froyo 2.2 final build.

This is by far my favorite rom, i have been testing a bunch to see what give's me the best result, so far with this rom and with netarchy's 4.1.9 cfs kernel my genius phone flies while being clocked at 1.19, i would not suggest higher then that as my phone freeze's after 1.19, i haven't found a kernel yet that is as perfectly matched to this rom as is 4.1.9. cfs

thanks netarchy, best setup IMO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nnyan:
Ok so I ran Fresh 3.2 with stock kernel and was impressed how stable (short term heavy use) and easy to flash. I was finally able to flash CM6 but only after running the NAND unlock flash I found on one of these forums. Only thing was that my bench was lowest on fresh followed by the stock and then CM6 was highest. CM 6 is fast and has some cool features but overall it just didnt fit me. I'm going to try fresh and kings #8 next followed by the netarchy suggestion.

Thank you all for your help! I have to say the friendlyness of this community to a new noob is refreshing!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
I've tried out many, many ROMs since I got mine and I like EViO the best. Using EViO 2 1.2 Beta 2 with King's #8 BFS kernel.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
A big drawback for me with Android is the amount of shortcuts you can have on your main screen compared to WINMO,is there a way of being able to have more shortcuts or is that it?

Also -how do i install apps onto SD card,and what does "unmount SD card" mean?

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Long pressing on the screen gives a selection. You select shortcuts!

Now if you already knew that then the amount of shortcuts is based on how big and how many icons/Widgets/shortcuts you already have!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jonny68:
Thanks for that i didn't know that i will give this a go, ive only just installed Android onto my phone and am still getting used to it, web browsing and email is a lot better but the actual interface compared to a my customised WINMO leaves a lot to be desired.

Actually ive asked this question elsewhere and no one appeared to have answered yet,i didnt want every single email address some going back years to be synced to my SIM contacts and now my phonebook is absolutely huge, is there an easy way i can delete the contacts i dont want.

Thanks for your assistance:cool:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
What you are looking for is a widget called MULTICON - it's free and you can find it on Android Market... What it does is widget fits 4 separate shortcuts into the space of one normal sized icon we all currently have. You can set in options to have customizable individual shortcut or leave it in sets of 4. Technically you can run 16 little (4 times smaller) shortcut icons in one line - times 4 = 64 shortcuts on one page of Android OS phone desktop - you get the picture now.

That is a fantastic tip! I am still a serious noob on Android, but that solved my last major gripe!

I have a huge problem.. Multicon is awesome, but I created a small widget (included) that controlled brightness, and for some silly reason I could choose 0% brightness! Now I dont know where I am on the phone to get it back to normal brightness.. Reboot doesnt help.. Anyone? Is there a file I can delete?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vulcZ:
Anyone know of an app or if there's a way to take actual panoramic pictures with the EVO 4G? My friend thinks he's tough **** with his iPhone 4 and when he asked if I can take pictures like that I was forced to reply "I'm not sure..." :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
lol....well, any iPhoner is going to try to hang their hat on the one or two silly thing that their phone can do and ours can't. While I agree it would be cool if someone developed and app that can do it, there is a list of things our phone can do that the iPhone 4 cannot, so I wouldn't stress it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clay333:
root it, start flashing new ROMs and overclocking, shoot incredible 720p video, and sit your phone up on the kickstand and watch them, or run them through the HDMI port to a HD TV. Then tell him to go shove his iPhone and tell him he needs to keep his personal preferences to hisself. As long as you are more happy with the EVO than an iPhone I don't think it's his business.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spy_owl2:
Have you tried PhotoStitch?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vulcZ:
I have, but it's not the same :(

I realize my phone is better in every other way, but I just want to be able to take those kinds of shots.

Is it all software in the iPhone that allows him to do that? Or does that phone actually have a wide angle lens? Excuse me if that's a dumb question :P
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezel29:
i would like to know too...my boss just got the epic 4g and it does the same thing and a couple other tricks with the camera too...gotta be a way to port that over from epic to evo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big-baloo:
Maybe can you try my app Andropan

let's me know how can I make it better
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
If I can remember I'll check when my phone gets done juicing. But I have been looking for a decent panoramic shooter too - photostitch doesn't cut it. At all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheldonbotha:
Ye I have been desperately looking for a good panoramic software for the EVO.

The PhotoStich app works....ok, but I want something like the Epic or Droid X as far as it helping me line the next shot up.

Andropan is pretty sweet but on my EVO at the moment, it seems to have a couple of issues with the lineup, in the end I get a picture that is not joined perfectly for many shots, this means I have items in the picture that are repeated again and again since they have not been over lapped.

As this software moves forwards though, I'm sure it could do the job nicely.

I wish andropan and photostitch would get together and have a kid or something :P

I'd gladly fork over 10 bucks for an app that can do what the Epic's Samsung software does, or even what the Droid X is capable of.

Love the new update Sprint just pushed out though, super smooth now :D

As you all know, the snapdragon SOC comes with a fairly powerful CPU, but we have the aging AMD Z430 GPU, which is trash. Can anyone with knowledge in this area tell me if it is theoretically possible to overclock the GPU so we can get some decent 3d performance out of our phones?
[Networking] thajacka:
I posted this at PPCGeeks but thought id post here as well:

OK so i recently moved from WA St to Oregon and into a new place obviously. Well my new house is pretty much a dead zone, i had to fight to get 1 or 2 bars, standing outside. I was missing important calls and was constantly dropping network and trying to regain, therefor chewing my Evos battery right up.

Well i saw an article last week that Sprint will be starting to give out Airaves for free to qualified customers. Well i decided to give retentions a call, told them that I might have to switch to att or verizon because i dont get any reception in my new place. They suggested and airave and what it cost, i mentioned that i read that they would be given them for free, with no monthly cost to qualified customers. The guy told me to hold, came back to tell me he will send me one for free with no monthly charge. Id only be required to pay the activation fee. I was like OK.

So today i received a package and a new Sprint Airave was inside. I was a little shocked to see the size of the unit, larger than a regular router or modem, i thought it would be a lot smaller. Anyways i hooked it up to my modem, plugged it all in, waited for about 30min for all the lights to go solid green, therefor it would be fully connected and activated. Came downstairs, looked at my phone and I HAD FULL BARS!!!!!! I jumped for joy, tested a call, had full bars while testing a call. Did a speed test and was received data at 1933kbps and uploading at 822kbps, faster than i ever get on regular 3g.

Overall im impressed that this thing actually works, and works really great. So for those of you with bad reception in your house, inquire about one of these.

If you have any questions feel free to ask, ill answer the best i can, and if you guys have any tests you want me to perform let me know.

Airave

I call Sprint tonight and there going to send me an Airave. They told me 3 to 5 days. I wanted to know the Make and Model of the Airave that you have. How long did it take for you to get yours and what is the range that it covers. Do it cover your back can front yard? Please let me know who make the unit. I want to see if i can find some reviews on it. Thank you in Advance.
[Networking] austontatious:
I just set mine up and its awesome! completely plug and play (although it took long enough to set itself up that I thought I had something wrong). I have good signal and fast 3g (no 4g version yet). if you can get sprint to give you one of these, totally go for it. even if you have to pay for it its probably worth it IMO.

[Networking] Product F(RED):
Did this a while ago as well and I confirm it works. You don't even have to call retentions. There are two ways to do this:

A) Just call them and say that you get no signal in your house and (and if you have an Evo/Epic), justify that you shouldn't pay extra for one by saying that you're already paying for 4G that you're not getting.

B) Tell them you were talking to a representative who was in the process of taking down your information so that he could send you one for free, but the call dropped.

Just make sure to tell them you want the newer model. It can handle more calls and puts out more signal (and supposedly does WiMax as well, but not yet. That's what a rep told me). It's called the "Airvana. NOT THE SAMSUNG MODEL (older one).

Proof it works (I used plan A):
[Networking] saw429:
Too bad, not for new customers

Its a shame i really like there prices and have great service everywhere but inside my house.

But they said I am a new customer and thats with the 30 days is for. I guess I got 27 more days to decide what other cell company I want.

OR I can pay a $130 for one :eek: Not going to happen already get raped with the phones!

LAME! :mad:

I dont think thats a way there going to get more customers I guess they will always be in 3rd or who knows maybe moved done to 4th.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
Look at the post above yours. I got one for free with no monthly charges. Also, if you have an Evo or an Epic (or Evo Shift) and it's rooted, download an app called Roam Control. You can turn on roaming and roam on Verizon for free (it's included in your plan).
[Networking] saw429:
Oh and when I asked to be transfered to cancel my acount, I guess they hangged up on me. Whats up with that?

Yeah i know about Roam Control But I wanted to save $10 bucks a month right before they increased the rate on all smartphones to $10 more a month. So I got 3g phones instead.

I was thinking of switching and getting the EVO and pay the extra $10 but its lame that i have to do all this extra work for them. It seems pointless to do so if I cant get a signal. Oh and when roaming it uses you minutes no matter what so that sucks for Roam Control.

Maybe I should call sprint again and give it another try. It makes no sense at all that they wouldnt give me one to keep me as a customer. Strange! Whats the difference between me 2 day customer and a 10 year customer leaving it a lost no matter what.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
Cancel and make a new account or ask to have it converted to this. It comes with a lot of perks and also $10 less for each plan:

I didn't have to complain at all...I just played dumb...yesterday I fixed my EVO's 3G problem (change CDMA to Auto PRL instead of CDMA Only) and was trying to watch Sprint TV (not available over WiFi, but is a service included with unlimited data), and just told them I have WiFi but can't watch Sprint TV with it, and that I got terrible service inside my house (2 bars) but I go outside and immediately have full 3G signal and Sprint TV works fine (100% truthful, didn't have to lie)...she asked me to go by a window, where I did get way better signal, and to go outside, and if I had high speed internet, then sent me to customer relations, who then told me I qualify for the Airave 2 and that they'd send it to me 100% free, no contract extensions, and no monthly charges...should be here Monday or Tuesday...will post back with my experiences.
[Networking] Matt262:
Got my Airvana today...this thing is AWESOME!! I live in an area with advertised awesome 3G but it flies now...I never could stream YouTube, or really do anything unless I was on WiFi, but now I have a choice...plus I can use Sprint TV finally, which is pretty neat...I'm looking forward to actually being able to use my phone now. Was plug and play just as described, but using the external GPS antenna made it ready to ride in about 10 minutes. I highly recommend if you have terrible coverage in your house and you're contemplating a new carrier, this thing works!
[Networking] Product F(RED):
This thing just uses your home internet connection to broadcast 3G in your home. If you want fast data, you might as well use Wifi since it uses less battery on your phone...
[Networking] Matt262:
Didn't see the part where I said I was unable to watch Sprint TV...? Sprint TV doesn't work on WiFi...this is a review thread, instead of flaming, contribute or don't say anything, or at least read AND comprehend ALL the posts before replying negatively...I do mostly use WiFi, but if I missed NCIS now I can watch it on my phone without having to go out to the driveway, or at the very least take advantage of it since it is a service that is included in my plan.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
You don't know the definition of flaming. Where did I flame? I stated facts. Forgive me for missing the "Sprint TV" part, but you don't have to go ape-**** over it.
[Networking] Matt262:
Flaming, also known as bashing, is hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users. Flaming usually occurs in the social context of an Internet forum, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Usenet, by e-mail, game servers such as Xbox Live or Playstation Network, and on video-sharing websites. It is frequently the result of the discussion of heated real-world issues such as politics, sports, religion, and philosophy, or of issues that polarise subpopulations, but can also be provoked by seemingly trivial differences. (straight from Wikipedia)

Why do I consider it flaming? Simply because this particular thread was about reviewing a device -- the Airave -- not about getting faster data speeds without using WiFi...but rather, does the device work or not, and if so, how well, which my whole point was that it DOES in fact work, not that I'm going to quit using WiFi in favor of the Airave. I don't need advice on getting faster data speeds because I'm well aware that my 20mb down/2mb up over WiFi is GOING to be faster than the fastest 3G, it's self serving, and thus pointless to even bring that up -- but especially in a device review thread. Counterproductive posts are a waste and a pain to read through to get to useful information, which is why no one searches. And on that note -- I'll be getting off my soapbox now.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
I wasn't hostile towards you. I just told you that you might as well use Wifi. Did I curse you out? No. Did I insult you? No. Please, show me where I was hostile, because you seem to be overreacting. Maybe you're reading the 3 periods as "F U" or something, but believe me, they're not.

You actually don't have to download or flash anything extra for a percentage. Go to settings>CyanogenMod Settings>User Interface or UI Tweaks>Status Bar Battery Percentage is the first option..Check it. If you need any more assistance just ask :)

Sorry man, but thats not really accurate. While both themes have the option of adding circular batteries, neither have an option of just a battery mod. Both are packaged with their respective themes. A battery mod like that would be more of a Metmorph kinda deal, and I dont use that program. Maybe someone who's into that can whip up some sort of mod.

I'd love to hear anyone's tips as well. As mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7959929&postcount=7622

Setting the sleep mode = 1 doesn't seem to work for me. The processor seemingly goes to sleep and enters a coma (yes, I set the clock speed back to stock in the startup.txt).

One quick tip to the OP is set the clock speed to stock.

Edit: sleep mode = 0 seems to work (GSM phone here). However, deleting the "acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXX" line from the startup.txt and setting sleep=1 just might work as well.

Edit2: sleep mode = 0 seems to result in the phone functionality breaking. It stopped waking up to phone calls after a while, and calling out wouldn't work either. Damn.. Just a heads up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
1. Close every program that you don't use on startup of android. You can do this with advanced task killer.

2. Run stock speeds.

3. Turn down the screen brightness.

4. Make sure your phone goes to sleep when you are not using it (green led = sleep)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] smithisize:
Is advanced task killer installed by default?

Also, how can I clock it to stock? I wasn't aware that it was overclocked past stock.

Screen brightness makes sense, I'll definitely do that.

So, if green is sleep, what is the orange?

Thanks

This is all true. I'll have to do that.

Still figuring it all out. Once I can get a solid 18-24 hour charge cycle out of it, Android will become my primary OS, easily. Simply works better, IMO
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anomoly:
For me sometimes it's green, sometimes it's Orange - not sure how to change it back green -

I use Advance Task Killer, but then i also read that Froyo 2.2 doesn't need a task killer?

The two things that have helped battery life the most were:

-Switching to stock clock speed (the reference over the overclocked BLZN which i loved but killed the battery life)

-turning off background processes... i only turn it on when i have to (using the market, etc)

I would love to hear more tips
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Lennyz1988:
The colours are not that hard.

Red/orange = awake

Green = sleeping

If the LED stays red, then your device is doing something, you can either wait or try closing the programs with the task killer. That will help sometimes.

For returning to stock speeds read the faq :) And advanced task killer can be downloaded in the market.

Indeed but that is something that they are working on it as we speak. Give them time
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Alcoholic:
I ran a test last night before going to sleep to see how long the phone lasts.

Charged my phone fully. Ran advanced task killer and killed all the programs. Put the phone in deep sleep ( green light).

Woke up 7 hours later and phone was completely dead. I do have auto sync turned on, but only over wifi, so it should not have used any data as i have the data turned off and no widgets on my home screens that auto-update.

I'll try again tonight for a shorter time (5 hours).

Running the blazn aug 30th build.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anomoly:
How did you 'put the phone in a deep sleep'
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Alcoholic:
I turned off all auto updates.

The next day i did the test again, charged the phone to 100% and used the phone moderately for 8 hours before the battery died.

Without overclocking i can safely say i can get the phone to last 8 hours with moderate to heavy usage, which is excellent.
