[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob dylan:
yeah i know its the correct behaviour, i just wasnt sure why other reboot methods didnt reboot into the newest version, now i know.

the latest version of unrevoked, v3.14 includes clockworkmod recover 2.5.07 as its default image anyway.

as i am already rooted using unrevoked can i just use unrevoked again? ie nandroid backup>root again with latest version of unrevoked>restore nandroid backup? will that work do you think?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Yes - it should be fine. You shouldn't technically need to backup/restore either since only recovery is affected.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob dylan:
yes, just done it, no need for nandroid, many thanks

Same Problem

I have the same problem after getting to over the air upgrade to FRG22D from Verizon this morning.

Nice to know it is not just me.

also have problem

Hi, I also have this issue. Hopefully someone has had some luck.

I have a droid 1 on 2.2.

For reference, several other of my coworkers have successfully set up their hd2, droid x, and droid 1 phones to work with our exchange, so I know my settings are good.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clambert11:
So last night I received the official OTA update on my phone. I'm not really ready for it (mainly because Lockpicker doesn't work on 2.2 yet).

Anyway, I digress. Anyone know the physical location of the update.zip file is downloaded to? The one on the root of my sd card is way too small to be the right one. I've searched through the directories with Astro File Manager and came up empty. It's on there though. I just can't seem to find it.

I just want to move the file for future use. The dialog box to update is already getting on my nerves and the day just started. :)

On a side note, is it safe to assume my update will fail with any changes I have made to the system folders? I haven't done a lot but I know I have done a few things. I may end up just going the RUU route when I'm ready. I think I've just renamed some bogus apps (City ID, etc.), updated the kernel to allow wireless tethering, installed boot animations with sound, and updated the splash screen after enabling S-OFF. I'm going to try and restore as much as I can to stock up ultimately will probably forgotten something I did. The boot animations and splash screen are probably not part of the update checksum, right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
I believe it's in /cache. I'm not 100% sure though, never actually had to check, just what i've heard. Try using root explorer and checking.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clambert11:
Is Root Explorer really better than ASTRO File Manager? Would it allow me to access this directory? ASTRO File Manager didn't see anything due to rights probably. Root Explorer nice but I'm not sure if it's worth the cash. Worth it?

I was able to pull the via adb by mounting the system.

Thanks for the help. The location was dead on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clambert11:
Any ideas of what files I can delete other than the .zip file? I deleted the zip file but still am getting the update dialog.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupcakera:
Out of curiosity, does anyone know that update.zip can be used on any Incredible, or is there some sort of authentication process?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Any Droid Incredible that is at the proper level can use the update. Same as getting it Over The Air.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmanzbo:
Does anyone know what files I should delete in the /cache folder to get rid of whatever files the OTA pushed? It tried to update but failed and am trying to get rid of all traces of it.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
First - are you talking about the T-Mobile G2 or the T-Mobile G2 Touch?

Second: (if you're talking about the G2 Touch)

You realise that there is no difference between the "Stock G2 [Touch] 2.1 Rom" and "Stock 2.1 HTC Hero ROM" right? Aside from some T-Mobile advertising...

If you do fall into this category and install the linked exe above then you'll probably be able to update that release to official t-mobile but it is a 1.5 release not a 2.1 release.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
What do you mean by: you have issues with "data drop out"?

You mean your 3G connection is dropping? It's unlikely that going back to stock and updating again will help but it couldn't hurt.

Chances are you need to boot into bootloader mode (Vol Down + Power) and install the correct driver "My HTC" in windows (instead of the "HTC Bootloader" driver).

Hi gang,

Plugged my headphones in this morning and only the right ear worked. There was no sound at all coming out of the left side.

I've soft reset the phone.

I've confirmed the headphones work on both sides using my laptop.

I've tried plugging and unplugging.

I've blown into the headphone jack. Hoping it's just a bit of dust.

All to no avail.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
[Touch HD General] shamham:
I guess the headphone jack is busted? Maybe you could try another set of working headphones in the phone just to be sure, or stereo bluetooth headphones if you happen to have some layin around lol. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, good luck.
[Touch HD General] BlueChan:
Ok the problem appears to have gone away. I tested out another set of headphones and they had the same problem.

But when I plugged my normal set back in it worked.

Later that day only the right side worked. So I unplugged and re-plugged the headphone jack and they came back to life... Not sure what the problem is.
[HD2 General] theboyrob:
Having some problems with my HD2, in android of windows.

The battery gets down to 35% then just drops straight to 2%.

I bought a new battery from ebay and this does exactly the same thing. Going to try and do a hard reset tonight, could it be a faulty handset?

I've noticed on the contacts for the battery on the handset there's 3 connections, 2 groups of two and a single one. One of the groups of two was slightly bent, does the battery have 3 cells and each contact gives 30% of the power from the battery? Wondering if one of the contacts is faulty?
[HD2 General] zeroSIXzero:
I think it's more a thing with the battery meter than the battery itself. It probably need a calibration.

How to do that I do not know, but normally its by letting the phone charge fully out and fully up sometimes in a row.

There is supposed to be a battery trick for the Desire. Search for that. And try the same.
[XPERIA X10 General] miguelsantos1979:
Hi guys,

I own a Xperia X10 ( latest firmware version available)and i had the opportunity yesterday to use a Samsung Galaxy S for the whole day. SGS belogs to a friend of mine.

Here are my impressions of the Sam G. S in comparasion to our "beloved" X10.

1.Screen

Colours are more vivid on SGS, but X10 has better resolution. I could differentiate the pixels on SGS, but not on X10. I'm quite picky with screen resolutions. I own a Iphone4 aswell and i can say X10 its not very behind iPhone4 concerning the screen resolution and crispness image. X10 just needs the 2.1 to boost to 16 million colours and get more vivid contrast.

2.Touch screen.

Exactly the same. They're balanced. I just wish to get MT on X10. MT can be useful in certain situations.

3. UI Performance.

Although X10 has the old 1.6 Android, i had the impression that lags less (mine doesn't lag at all and i´ve plenty of applications installed) than the SGS. I felt that the fluidity of X10 is pretty good, now that i've used my friends SGS for a whole day. Switching screens was more laggy and the refreshment rate was worse than on X10 - i couldn't believe what i was experiencing.

4. Multimedia.

Oh god. I've just to say that there isn't any phone with such a great audio quality as the X10. Miles ahead of the SGS and even Iphone4 that i also own. Crispy and balanced tones on X10. SGS was pretty average.

Video is also interesting: Refreshing rates / fps were the same watching the same movie. X10 is more crispy and the SGS has more vivid colours.

conclusion:

Android 2.1 will leverage X10 to a much higher level and it will be on pair or even better than almost all Android phones including those with the 2.2 version.

I'm not replacing my X10 for the SGS as i was planning before.

Hope it helps!
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
That seems like a fair comparison and is very inline with what I experienced using the AT&T Captivate. I had that device for 28 days and replaced it with the X10.

The lag is generally believed to be because of the file system Samsung chose (RFS). It's not clear why they chose RFS and the lag fixes floating around basically make a new data partition with EXT2, EXT3, or EXT4. It doesn't matter for me at this point but I'm glad I don't have to rely on Samsung to fix all the issues on their Galaxy S devices. There are many other annoyances on the Captivate but I won't bother listing them. The bottom line is that for me the X10 is a much better device.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
Thank you very much for an interesting post in a long time and thank you for a good clean review! Very much appriciated :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] mayamo:
REALLY??? I hope you are not talking about x10's speaker audio quality..

i LOVE x10.. but seriously.. i have to listen to everything through bluetooth headset or an earphone.. the sound is HORRIBLE when you just have it on the speaker, and it hurts my ears.. especially on higher volumes...and yes.. i've compared it to other phones.. my lg new chocolate sounds a lot better compared to x10.. (only comparing the speaker audio quality)
[XPERIA X10 General] sofir786:
Seems fair both phones have their positives and negatives, i think the 2.1 update will make the x10 a lot more solid, some people think theres not much difference between between 1.6 and 2.1, but it has its obvious advantages. preferably i would have liked to have seen 2.2 on there but hey il take whatever i can get.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
I have both phones and I agree with some of what your saying,yes it lags a bit and text in definitely not as sharp

but in the multimedia you made no sense... The sgs is far better when it comes to watching movies the sharpness is basically the same as the x10 plus more vibrant colours (it also has divx support out of the box). Audio quality is superior on the sgs without a shadow of a doubt even the gsm arena say so(lets not forget it has an equaliser). It has a better battery life and its fully rooted with full boot loader access you have missed out so many sections, sigh maybe i should make my own proper comparison.
[XPERIA X10 General] waltah!:
I agree having owned both. SGS colors "pop" more, but the colors are not accurate at all. I used to compare to my Nexus One and colors were actually way off on the Samsung.

SGS plays just about any video codec you throw at it which is nice. Listening through headphones the X10 kills it. The screen is just a smooth I think as well.

Go on a Captivate and read web text while scrolling very slowly. There is a really bad "rolling" effect that actually bugged me while using it.

When the X10 gets 2.1 it will certainly hang with the Galaxy S models in my opinion. I just wish the Xperia had the internal storage of the SGS line.

btw, gps performance on the X10 is spot on where Samsungs tend to not be great in that area. Even after their gps "fix" it won't be as fast and accurate as the X10.

I work for AT&T and I see many problems coming in with the Captivate. The browser crashes often and the phone reboots itself a few times a day sometimes. I owned one and my gf still owns one and her's has some of these issues.
[XPERIA X10 General] miguelsantos1979:
Just for clarification:

i meant that the audio quality via headphones...using high quality headphones. Yes X10 is the best in the market. I owned a Nokia N900 and i did the comparasion as well.

Sorry for disagreeing, but the X10 is also more sharp watching videos than the SGS. SGS has to saturated colours.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Well i have to disagree in the audio department but thats down to audio taste i guess. But the sgs video quality is better than the x10 i have viewed the same HD video on both, side by side and you would be a fool to tell anyone the the x10 is better to look at.

Edit: In fact im looking at both now, the sgs blows it out of the water sorry. I can upload pics if you want proof.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
Since tihs is a VS. Thread any proof can be uploaded.

I would like to ses the pics:)

[XPERIA X10 General] anjo2:
What is the rom from SGS? I know that Sony Ericsson have 1GB SLC, 50% to ROM and 50% to Storage, in some websites shows 15GB of ROM to Samsung, others 2GB of ROM, 16GB os MLC in SGS is for ROM+Storage like the 1GB SLC in X10?
[XPERIA X10 General] skydirt:
My best mate has a SGS. We compare all the time. For those in this thread that think the SGS screen is producing more saturated colours etc...

You are just not used to the REAL colours. The SGS has the best screen on the market. It has a 50000:1 contrast ratio! The blacks are near perfect. Which makes the non-black elements "pop" off the screen.

When we both load up the exact same black screen on the same brightness, my x10 looks like it's GREY compared to his SGS. I can use my full black screen in a dark bathroom as a dull light, he can not. As for video watching, the SGS screen is much clearer and and crisp. This is because of its extremely high contrast ratio. Moreover, the x10 on 1.6 can only show 65k colours on a TFT screen. While the SGS SAMOLED screen on 2.1 uses 16million!

I love my x10 guys, but the SGS screen and display is far superior and certainly looks like it when placed side by side with an x10.

Now, when x10 finally gets 2.1 which will allow the x10 to display 16m colours, it will be a whole lot different for comparison, but it still won't match up to the super high contrast ratio that the SGS has.
[XPERIA X10 General] anjo2:
Samsung uses fake colours, the sony dont have the best screen, but is good, and with great resolution, Sony have 13.3' screen with 1920x1080 in notebooks, and others better than this, Apple and Sony are the kings of resolution :)
[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
REAL colours and 50000:1 contrast ratios? HAHAHA. First off, maybe a handful of lcds in current production produce accurate colors and they're not put in mobiles. Secondly, 50000:1 contrast ratios is a marketing gimmick and means something, but it isn't an objective measure in any sense as different companies scale it differently.

Now that there is a huge exaggeration. Also, video quality also varies depending on the media file, player, And screen. Either way, lcd screens on mobiles aren't that great to begin with.

Maybe, but you certainly don't have any compelling arguments as to why the Galaxy S is better than the x10. Even with the increase in colors, how many can the eye actually distinguish from another? Certainly not 16 million.

Once again, contrast ratio is a subjective metric defined by manufacturers used as a marketing gimmick.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Whats your point ? the x10 has a better screen?
[XPERIA X10 General] anjo2:
He is suggesting that the samsung dont have a fantastic screen as it appears to be...
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
well in all honesty its quite an amazing screen and down playing the specs doesnt make any less amazing.
[XPERIA X10 General] Ballfuzz:
Samsung is known for it's great picture quality, from it's out of this world LED Tv's to it's cell phones.

the Samsung Galaxy is a superior phone. The X10 better get a lot better with the 2.1 upgrade. Otherwise, Im upgrading it to 2.1 just to add a selling point.
[XPERIA X10 General] anjo2:
In 2009 it stays in 4th place in TVs...

1º Pionner Kuduro

2º Philips

3º Panasonic

4º Samsung

5º Sony

Something like that, so, nothing impressive... btw, i dont like the samsung colors, totally fake...
[XPERIA X10 General] skydirt:
Look, the contrast ratio alone makes my x10 look dull and old when sat next to his. The blacks are amazing. I am not exaggerating. Test this yourself. Pull up an all black screen, and go into a dark room. In our case it's his apartment bathroom that has no windows. It's pitch freaking black. You can actually see my grey x10 screen and after a few second of adjusting to the low light it can actually be used as a dull light. His SGS screen is so dark and it's hard to see. Placed side by said together on the counter, the full black screen on my x10, which again looks grey is bright enough to filter out all site of the SGS!! you can't even see the SGS cause of the brightness of the x10's "black"

Why do I mention that so much? true blacks is what makes great screens great. Not just in phones but any screen. Monitors, HDTV screens... the higher the contrast ratio, the darker the blacks appear and when viewed it makes the colours next to the those blacks pop out more making the picture seem to have more depth and adds more pop to those colours because the black light isn't bleeding into them. Which in all cases produces a more lively crisper picture.

will.m; I'm not trying to convince you of some improvable magic here. Go ahead, get a SGS and put it up against a x10 side by side. Not "oh i played with one and it didnt seem so great" and going by memory.

When one holds them next to each other, showing the same apps, videos, games it's clearly evident on how much clearer, richer and crisper the SGS screen is over the x10.

X10- TFT 65K colors 2500:1

480 x 854 pixels, 4.0 inches

SGS- Super AMOLED 16M colors 50000:1

480 x 800 pixles, 4.0 inches

The specs alone are evidence. Saying otherwise is just ignorant, blind fanboi'ism.
[XPERIA X10 General] se_dude:
The SGS uses a pentile subpixel matrix unlike the X10 which uses "proper" RGB subpixels. The resolution is interpolated to the published one rather than actual. Its way lower than the actual resolution advertised. The ppi is way higher in the X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
I have owned both devices. Samsung has better contrast, Sony has better text. Once you turn off auto brightness, the X10 really comes to life.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
No one can argue about the x10 being sharper on text, because that is a fact. Everything else is the sgs territory, Im uploading pics now.
[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
My point is that although they may be the top of the line for mobiles, both screens are more than sufficient for a vast majority of users, the screens aren't really that great muchless amazing(just based on relative terms), and that the specs you trot out as being benchmarks of quality are really bunk marketing terms.

Don't be an ingnoramous and go learn about how companies rate contrast ratios.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
WTF when did i go on about specs(quote the right person)? this a comparison thread, the x10 screen is being compared to the sgs's screen.
[XPERIA X10 General] rocketpaul:
Believe it or not, the sgs screen is actually on.
