Hi, everyone! I've forgotten password on my Blackstone. I need phonebook from it, so hardreset and reflashing is not decision for me. Does anybody know how can I get my phonebook? I see the only way is to dump all memory from the Blackstone, but I have no any experience. Please help me!

[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
So I just removed Ryan's lag fix (in preparation for the latest firmware update released by Samsung - I am waiting for OTA). Odd thing is, the Vibrant feels faster now. Of course quadrant is down to 900ish and I have no scientific data to back it up, but the Vibrant does feel minorly faster. For example, coming out of sleep is more snappy than it was with the lag fix.

Anyone else experience this or is it just in my head?
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
I always felt that the lag fix slowed down my phone. And please people, stop using quadrant to prove how fast your phone is...that benchmark app is useless to tell how snappy or fast a phone is on everyday use.

Go over to the development section. JAC just released the voodoo lagfix which is 1000x better than any other lag fix.
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
I used Method 1 of this post to fix the lag

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=727279

And it worked. My lag was dramatically reduced.

Then I switched to Ryan's lag fix because of the 130MB limitation. I found it to be quite a bit laggier than my earlier fix, albeit faster than stock. So I switched back to first lag fix hoping that a real fix would be available before I ran out of the 130MB. So far I'm still within the 130 MB and I have very little lag. The phone is pretty snappy.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aretzios:
I have a problem with my Tilt 2 for which I would appreciate some input.

If I "lock" the Tilt2 and put it in my pocket, soon the phone warms up, the battery is drained and the phone reports that all free memory has disappeared. Digging through the file structure, it appears that hundreds of emails have been written in the \Windows\Messaging directory. Deleting some of them frees memory but one cannot delete all of them.

This problem happened twice with the old ROM and once after the installation of the new ROM. I talked to AT&T and they are convinced that this is a "weird" malfunction and they are sending me a new phone. However, I wonder if anybody else has encountered the same problem.

PS: The phone has not been dropped and has not suffered any damage. The problem appears to occur only when the phone is pressed in my pocket.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Bbasso:
While I don't encounter the exact issues, mine over heats and locks up. once it cools off (battery out for 30 mins) it comes back on but nothing responds.

if I soft reset I still get nothing, hard resetting gets it working fine again.

I keep it rather empty, just two or three apps and google maps.

:confused::confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brainrepairer:
I believe I have encountered a similar problem before. Once in a while 1 of my yahoo email accounts would download everything in my inbox, not just the last 7 days as I have set. Phone slowed to a crawl, became hot, & drained my battery. I would go into options & clear the account, phone would seem to almost freeze for 10 minutes as it deleted 700 emails. I went to my yahoo account on my pc & archived all but 100 emails from past few months. It happened 1 more time since, but its much more manageable & doesnt freeze up my phone when downloading only 100 emails.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
I've actually had this problem with my yahoo account twice in the last week, and once in the past with my gmail account.

trying to view a 40x60 from an old camera phone with full-res could be the problem.

And you might want to try view attachments, downloading, and perhaps that will fix your little predicament. I had a problem with that for a while too, and then you just give up and find a work around.

How does the 3G work on the Captivate??

I put in my networks apn's (MMS and DATA) but it doesnt load a web page or send or recieve an MMS , the 3G icon shows up but doesnt show any activity and also if I delete the DATA apn the 3G icon keeps showing till I reboot the phone.

There is no setting in wireless and network setings to just have 2G on (it had it in the Nexus one).

A 3G toggle also doesnt make any difference.

Any ideas?

Its a widget that shows you the rate of charge when plugged in and rate of discharge when on battery.

Thanks guys! I've downloaded the program and the widget and both are very helpful.

Will post up results if I find anything interesting!

The widget is really slow to react (for example, taking more than 30 seconds to register that the power has been taken out) so I'm not convinced of its accuracy. If there are any other programs/widgets then I will use both to take an average which may be more reliable.

If anyone knows of any other programs or widgets, let me know please :) thanks!

Something that I thought should be simple but strangely (for Android) it's not.

If you get sent contact details in a vcard, it gets saved to the phone memory. I still can't see how to save that vcard info to my Google account.

Anyone got any ideas? A feature I've missed? An app? I use Handcent but that's a bit poo for vcards so I have to go back to the native Messages app to even view vcards.

Any ideas???

I too need it, by far couldn't succeed that. It would be the best way to keep your contacts with details that sim cannot store.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cleargrey:
This is the response I got from HTC when I asked for any method they know to get contacts from the phone to the Google account:

The only problem I had with these instructions is that I found exporting contacts is all or nothing. You can't pick and choose. Luckily for me, all my contacts are on my Google account so it was only the one vcard sent by MMS that I wanted to transfer over.

[HD2 General] bordman:
Hello,

I've had my hd2 for about 6 months now and about a month ago it started randomly crashing. I'd have to take the battery out and reset, but when i'd start about 1 out of ever 4 times it would show the inital launch screen, but the numbers in the bottom left would never come. So i'd have to remove the battery again and reboot.

Then it started happening more frequently. Random restarts, crashes, and the phone didnt like to boot at all most of the time.

Last night, it gets really bad and i am able to get into the phone once. After that it freezes always when you initially power on, you see the boot splash, but no numbers in the bottom left, no moving forward.

AND NOW when i power on, the screen stays black, and it just vibrates and will not stop at all unless i remove battery. In fact, as soon as i pop the battery in, it starts doing this.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 General] bordman:
anybody :(
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
Try doing a HARD RESET.

If that does not help it means you have a damaged HD2 motherboard, try contacting T-Mobile or HTC for a replacement.

I'm 100% sure it is a heat problem. I do have the same problem. With my HD2 disassembled I checked that "freezing" the motherboard make my phone boot without a problem... and it worked properly as long as it stayed cool.

I'm trying to replace the motherboard by myself as I do not live within the USA...

Hope it helps.
[HD2 General] richardqilu:
Same exact problem here, although it happens less often for me. How do we keep the motherboard "cool" so it won't happen? or is this a sign of motherboard going bad soon and it'll be replaced sooner or later??
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
I think it is a sign of a dying phone... or at least a dying motherboard.

Maybe (just a theory) these are signs of a "cold joint" similar to what happens to the Xbox 360... and the way to fix it is to "reflow" the motherboard... but we need a more technical point of view on this one...
[HD2 General] bordman:
Thanks for the replies. I have tried the hard reset, but it just vibrates with the screen off still, no success in any attempts to do anything. I guess i will have to contact htc since i did not purchase the phone from tmobile.

I did notice before this happened that the phone was getting hot after even a few minutes of use. So i have to assume it is a damaged motherboard or whatever it is inside of my precious hd2 that makes it bring me joy.

Now i am joyless and sad.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
Hey guys,

I have been trying to solve this on my own for two days now, but I would like to consult the forum now.

So, I was running Pink Sense 1.8 for about 2 weeks with setCPU profiles and was getting satisfactory battery life. I had re-calibrated the battery info maybe 2 weeks before flashing the Pinky ROM (as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755903).

All of a sudden, without any app installation or change to either the ROM or software/hardware settings I started getting horrible battery life. The battery would drain completely for less than 6 hours with GPS, 3G, and WiFi off.

*Another strange thing (which I don't know if it was related to my battery issue or not) was that when I would plug the charger it would turn the screen on but switch to the default clock app instead of the HTC sense homescreen. If I pressed home or back it would disappear. This would happen randomly and not always.

So, I figured it's time to jump ROMs and I decided on LeeDroid. I wiped cache, etc. and flashed the ROM. Out of the box the battery life was again pretty crappy (the battery was virtually disappearing in front of my eyes). I found some threads where it was suggested to disable market notifications and that slowed the battery drain a bit but it's still crappy.

I just charged it fully, 3G and WiFi off, and was with the screen off for 99% of the time and it still drained 18% battery in 1hour and 25 mins.

So, my question is - what the hell is going on???

Should I wipe battery info? Should I install a non-WiFi n rom? What more can I do?

I would really appreciate help and advice.

p.s. I am running the latest radio too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sithlord31:
wich radio have you the .23 drains the batery with my desire try with the .30_2

the battery life is better.

did you try reboot your phone maybe your optical joystick dead and drain your battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
load any new apps recently?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
As I said, the problem appeared with absolutely no new apps installed and persists after flashing a new ROM.

How do I know if my optical joystick is dead? It still works if that's what you mean (although I don't like using it).

I will try flashing the 30_2 radio, thanks for that suggestion.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sithlord31:
If it works he's not dead :D

after flashing your radio and if the battery still drain check if the rom you use has his own rules for the cpu freq. if you are in that case don't use cpufreq or something like that because of conflicts.

PS: Sory for my bad english
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
Thanks, I just flashed the 17_2 radio. It doesn't look like LeeDroid has any requirements for cpu frequencies. I will post an update after an hour.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
There seems to be no change with 17_2 radio. 15% drop for 1h45m. I will go through a charge/recharge cycle and if nothing has changed I will flash the 30_2 radio.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmaacc:
Some people had the same effect. It happens when you flash your ROM while the phone is connected to power/charging. The battery stats simply get messed up.

An easy indication for this is if you charge the phone fully while powered on, LED is green, as soon as you unplug the charger the battery drops to some 90%.

The fix is easy too. If the phone is fully "charged" while on, disconnect the charger and switch it off. Then plug the charger in again. The LED should turn orange again and the remaining percentage will be charged. Wait until you have a green LED and your problems are hopefully gone.

Look out for the battery calibrating thread here for more info.

Hope that helps...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
Thanks for the suggestions. I always thought it would be better to flash with the ac adapter plugged.

I have tried the method you described above but it hasn't really solved any of the problems.

The battery drain is now at least manageable - i had 50% drop while sleeping for 6 hours (at least it didn't drain it completely). I am going to flash the 30_2 radio and try again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pehkblui:
If you have access to a spare battery, maybe you can try that too?

Normally when I have unexplained problems with the phone, the last drastic step I would take is to wipe everything, data/app/cache. Do a nandroid backup first so that if that doesn't solve your problem you could always get back all your setups.

You could also try Titanium to help save your setup. But I would be careful with what I restore. The last thing I would want is to get the messed up setting back in.

I have noticed also whenever I flash a new rom, the battery seems to get worse. So I would always do a recalibration. The proper step is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755903 (and wipe the battery status on the last power up before using).

Lastly, I would use as stock as possible first to see if it is things that I introduce that cause the problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyn4ice:
I think I can definitely confirm the radio is the problem. There is barely any battery drain in airplane mode (1% drain per hour with WiFi on). I am back to 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 but it seems to drain battery faster than before.

Now that I think back, this battery problem started when i switched to the newer 32.47.00.32U_5.10.05.23 radio. No matter what I do now though even after rolling back to older radios it's still a problem. Damn it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
Don´t know (because i never updated radios above .20 and have no problems with battery)...but...maybe flash a original ruu rom...and root again

Ok, I have awesome news! Thanks to user "lenik" on modaco forums I got some extra RIL settings (radio settings) he found for Softbank (my cellphone company here in Japan). Here are the settings:

ro.ril.enable.a52=0

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.fast.dormancy.timeout=3

ro.ril.enable.sbm.feature=1

He said the first two should be found on most ROMs, while the last two are probably carrier specific for SoftBank. Anyways, I just downloaded the latest LeeDroid ROM, modified /system/build.prop file (none of the above settings were in there) to include the above settings and ... got a 5% drop in battery for 10 hours on standby (wifi off, setCPU set to 245Mhz when screen is off). This is unbelievable.

Anyways, here are lenik's blog posts about it:
