[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benefic:
Hi, I am new htc desire (unrooted, unbranded, 2.2 froyo) user and I got problem with GPS, I cant get fast sattelite lock, it lasts at least 10 minutes to lock. Forexample when i am using app GPS status, i got 9 sats in view but no one in use. It seems like my gps modul is getting signal from sattelites but cant use them. Any ideas of solving this issue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desireintoronto:
I've had the same problem (telus 2.1)

When using gps apps such as GPS test or Backcountry Navigator it will often take a few minutes to get a lock (and yes, outside with good visablility). It was a pain when using it backpacking (though it gave me an excuse to take a break).

Is it just me or does Pocket Internet Explorer work much, much better than it used to?

It uses plugins well, loads links to folders quickly. zooms in and out well. I don't use my phone to go out to the internet much so I can't speak to that, but it seems to be a much better behaving browser for "local" stuff than Opera 10. :eek:

[Droid 2 General] jamiedhouse:
I'm new to Android, but I have a rooted Droid 2 and I have gone through and renamed some of the bloatware apps already... I was wondering if there is a way to better control what apps auto run on start-up? Things like last.fm that have no reason to be running automatically at start-up. Right now I am manually killing those apps after a reboot, but that is a pain to do everytime. Thanks for the help!

I want to revert back to 100% stock, including radio so I can receive the 2.2 ota update from Verizon, or push it as a update.zip in normal recovery not clockwork. I searched the forums on here and could not find a complete guide, can anyone help me please?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACD168:
pretty simple. if you want to get the ota be on stock recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llas:
So even though i have a 2.05 baseband? on a 2.1 update incredible? How can I get it without manually pushing it to my phone in recovery, I haven't been prompted to upgrade yet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonTuffGuy:
I was prompted with OTA notification when I reverted back to a 2.1 rom, regardless of the radio I was on.

I went back to stock 2.1 backup, which was running 2.15 radio, etc.

I ran the RUU from 2.2 and it fixed me up.

Here's what happened:

>My at&t Fuze dropped as I was running for cover from the rain, so ironical, it landed in a pool of water.

>Some lady picked it up and didn't bother to remove the battery or catch up with me and giving it back.

>18 hours later I got it back, it still had the battery. I immediately removed it and put out to dry in the sunlight.

>For 7 full days I let it lay on top of a CRT monitor and dry by absorbing the gentle heat produced by CRTs.

>Today I tried powering it up, it vibrates like it normally does when starting up but nothing shows on the screen. It then turns off because pressing the power button again makes it vibrate again. What can I do????
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Whoareyou:
Take the battary out and put them in a ziploc bag of white rice for 3-4 days then try a little boot, then it sould work, then if not I have 1 word, Assurion
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jimenezboy:
I can't insure my phone, it's just not possible currently, thanks anyways.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jimenezboy:
I tried powering it up with a Nokia 6300 battery, it actually powers on, I can receive calls, texts and even connect it a PC via ActiveSync. But the screen shows nothing, and the five buttons in and around the scroll wheel do not work, neither does the "charging light". At least I know it's not totally bricked, what to do now with such screens?????
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Chamilli:
Most likely its a paper weight now, not sure about success rate with the battery still in it for a day. Sometimes submerging the phone in alcohol helps, but im not saying it will in this situation. Try looking on craigslist or ebay for another.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sauron4:
jimenezboy, I have one i dont need any longer if you are interested. Its an ATT FUZE model. phone worked great when i got my new one...it has been in my desk drawer since.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Moody:
Hello, I am about to buy an android phone, after patiently waiting a half year (because I've been scammed when I attempted to buy an iPhone)

So, I really love phones with a qwerty keyboard and I live in Europe.

The only phone I like right now is the Milestone, but motorola is really being a pain in the ... against us european costumers, but at least they promised us the froyo update at last. (probably because they had to, it said "Flash 10.1 compatible" on the box.)

So my question is, what is your advice for me? If I wait for the MS2 I will have 2.2 for sure, but I'll have to wait for the device to get rooted..

Right now I can buy the Milestone at a 2 year 15€/month contract. It's retail price is € 387,-

Does anyone have any idea at all about the milestone 2 pricing?

I would like to play some games on the phone like N.O.V.A. and Asphalt 5 by gameloft. But from what I've seen, the multi-touch is reaaaly messed up. Is this correct?

Greetings, Mike vHL
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Y.A.R.I.K.:
For myself i decided to wait Milestone 2. Buy new phone, when there is a upgrade of him its not reasonable.

Sorry for my bad english =).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Moody:
Thanks, but after watching a movie, I found out that the only thing that was changed that was really of impact to me was the processor, RAM and keyboard layout.

The processor doesn't make that much of a deal to me, since the games are still quite responsive. The keyboard layout isn't that much of a deal to me either. The ram would be nice, sure, but I don't care, since I've waited too long and really want an android phone, right now xD

About the multitouching thingy, the MS2 uses the same screen, so that isn't a deal-breaker either. I'm sorry for bothering the community with my stupid question.

Greetings, Mike vHL
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Y.A.R.I.K.:
I think that the new version of milestone its a work on the bugs.:rolleyes:

I like new proc,keyboard and ram. That why i decide to whait for the new phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] jaffarbp:
if there were no major hardware flaws, then its not really work on bugs rather than a work on buyers pocket with a 2 on the end ;)

I myself plan to get milestone 1 even if 2 comes out, for the following reasoning

- milestone 1 prices should drop radically

- anything they have to offer on mile2 would be an overkill for me, cause I dont even plan playing games

- design of mile1 blew me off with metal finish

- last but not least - I used all androids from 1.6version till froyo on my kaiser and tbh if they release 2.2 for mile1 with all features working well, I dont need anything else xD
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Habieru:
Get a Milestone 1. It may sound crazy, but i "upgraded" to a Milestone from a Nexus one. Sure, the Nexus had a snapdragon, 512RAM and proper froyo roms, but the Milestone has an ARM Cortex-8 wich can go beyond 1.2Ghz with absolute reliability while the Nexus was already unstable at 1.1Ghz, it has a PowerVR GPU wich beats the crap out of the snapdragon gpu even at the default 550Mhz. I don't know who told you about the buggy multitouch, but i can tell you that the Milestone has accurate multitouch compared to the Nexus that has a serious problem that snaps axis when they get close and mess everything arround. Seriously the milestone performance is almost unbeliebable and besides that, it's got a qwerty keyboard, i have seen better keyboards (HTC Universal) but at least we have one. Once we get a proper froyo release on the Milestone, you will forget about every other single phone, but for now you can use the latest MotoFrenzy if you dont care about the camera issue, or stick arround with the good old 2.1 releases.

Edit: Ah, sorry i forgot to mention the sound quality and built-in speakers. The Milestone has the best sound quality out of all the Android phones i have tried so far. (HTC Dream, Hero, Nexus One, Xperia X10 and Desire).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] leobg:
Milestone2 would still have Cortex A8 ARM cpu not qualcomm snapdragon as far as I know. PowerVR should still be in the game too. the extra RAM is going to make some difference especially when more apps are running. Phone will definitely feel snappier even compared to 1.1GHz overclocked MS1 (like mine ;)). Not to talk its going to run Froyo which is supposed to make things even smoother.

If you want to save money - get original Milestone, if you are ok spending a bit more and willing to wait - wait for the Milestone 2. I would wait for MS2 if I were you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Mackattack:
I am told the updated cpu in the Droid 2 and Milestone 2 is smaller, faster, yet more battery efficient. I know the D2 gets like 9 hours of talk time vs 7 for the original Droid and that is CDMA, where it uses a bit more battery than GSM. Something to think about.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] applebook:
Snapdragon, A4, Samsung's 1GHz, and the Ti OMAP processors in the Droids are all based off ARM's Cortex A-8.

Newer phones are upgrades over the Milestone in regards to pure CPU speed and RAM, but all of them, except for the Milestone 2/Droid 2 with the same LCD, have inferior screens.

I consider it an "upgrade" to move from the Galaxy S to the Milestone because the latter has a much better and more usable screen, which is more important to me than anything else, but the Galaxy S does have incredible touch accuracy.

If you have the funds, then the Milestone 2 is definitely a worthy upgrade. Personally, I wouldn't change my Milestone to anything else other than the Milestone 2, an international Droid X (due to its improved CPU, RAM, and camera), and the iPhone 4 --all of which are far more expensive.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Mackattack:
Droid X has the same amount of ram, and same exact cpu as the D2. The camera is an upgrade but it isn't that big of an upgrade from what I have read.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kangal:
The Milestone2 is definitely just another Milestone but with improvements.

Both devices have the same connectivities, same screens, same features and same physical hardware. The differences are

The biggest one is:

512MB RAM vs 256MB. The new processor will run faster and can multitask much better.

Next important thing is the camera difference, its the same 5MP shooter but it now does 720p video.

After that the next important thing is the physical hardware/keyboard: personally the Milestone does have a good qwerty so I'm not sure if this is an advantage or just a tie.

The last upgrade is the CPU: 1GHz vs 550MHz stock (O'C to 1.2GHz to surpass in performance).

Honestly, you can wait ~1month from now you can get the MIUI ROM (in development by dexter and the official miui team - better than MotoBlur)

with Froyo (so it will be tie),

800MHz (this is to increase battery life while giving good performance - better than Milestone2).

Or wait ~1month to get the Milestone2 and the only advantages it really would have is the 720p video and the extra performance and multitasking (from extra RAM). If you want the GameGripper for the Droid2/Milestone2 you will also need to wait for it.

The Milestone2 will get the locked bootloader so development on it will be slow or non-exsistant. If however it gets rooted and its ROM extracted, I'm guessing the camera stack will easily be ported to the original Droid/Milestone for 720p. The only thing is the Droid/Milestone would need to be overclocked (800MHz +) to be able to capture 720p video and that may not even be enough, maybe the RAM will be the limiting factor.

Well there's the information, now go make up your mind :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Mackattack:
Actually the biggest difference is the CPU, which is faster and give it longer battery life.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] applebook:
But the M1 can be overclocked to match the M2 (or be close), but the 256Mb RAM limitation cannot be improved. I personally have few problems with 256 megs, but with 512, you pretty much never need to close any apps.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Mackattack:
That maybe so, but the M2 cpu while smaller is more efficient, and faster(plus the better gpu that comes with newer chipset).

Hi,my father bought an acer e110 with android cupcacke.As you maybe know there are no coocked roms for this device (only one to be correct but in russian and with some bugs).I ve rooted the phone without installing any rom,I used only universalandroot,and it s working good because it give me the response after the installation and i can use bluetooth to transfer and receive files with bluex or other programs.Now i would like to install application to the sd card,because of the very little space in the phone memory.Can I use app2sd or any other programs to install apps to the sd without a custom rom?

Sorry if my question sound stupid,but i ve searched in the forum and in google,but the answer was ever: install a custom rom with app2sd and other things i can t remember

When you find out, please be sure to post here. I did a general search in the Moto Droid/Milestone forum for [ROM] Froyo and it didn't seem to come up with a whole lot.

I am also coming from Eris to Moto Droid, so I hear you! We were spoiled, and we need options! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] snackbarber:
Hey guys. Rom Manager in the market has lots. I think XDA doesn't have the best selection because for a long time they didn't support devices that weren't made by HTC. I am sure they will catch up eventually.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] netmommy:
Thanks! I am still on my Eris for another week or two and just read on the Kaos forum that flashing from that app can quickly brick a phone. Myth? Perhaps just an issue with Eris?

Again, thanks for you help! I scoured for info before posting as to not take a brutal hit for asking something that has been answered 100 times already in an obvious place. Is there a good, clear thread or forum you would recommend for new Moto Droid users? Coming from the Eris community this all sounds like French to me.... Lol!

Just saw other post suggesting RM so to make up for repeating, here's a protip... go to www.blackdroidmod.com, forums, downloads and pick up Ultimate Droid 7. My gf (schizodj24 on forums) has it and it is great, nice and stable, fast and LOTS of customization options built in. To get it on ROM Manager you need the paid version ;-) another tip... once you get yourself rooted and a new custom ROM, search the XDA forums for SetCPU, XDA members get it free but it's MORE than worth the $1.99 donation so after you use and love it, show the dev some love :-)

Edit: Stay away from Ultimate Droid 8 for the time being, still got some kinks to work out apparently...

not to bring up a thread thats over a week old......

never used rom manager on my eris (when i had one) too many horror stories.

as for my moto droid 1 the only problems i have with rm had to do with rebooting into recovery either from rom manager or using the power button to reboot the device. once in recovery the device would freeze and then reboot.

so the only way i can get to recovery safely is to manually do it (pwr +x).

Hi guys, first of all I would like to know where my original post is, did it get deleted??? it was about the warning message for the battery level right at the AT&T screen... but anyways....

I was recommended to flash the original ROM from HTC,(AT&T Pure) I did and Im having a big problem?, phone gets recognized as usb, flash process starts BUT right at 9% it seems that the device reconnects itself to the usb and then I get a BSOD with multiple IRQ requests error, tried 2 or 3 times disconnecting any other usb device from the pc and still get the same at the exact 9% of flashing...

Would that be a windows problem? Im using XP, please advise :)
