[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
Tell me about it, and the store I bought the phone from won't exchange it for me.

At first I thought I was just using the phone a lot, until I started logging my use, and sure enough I get less than 2 hours of use before the phone says plug me in.

If it doesn't get better in 7 days I'm returning and maybe going to verizon.
[Epic 4G General] pjree:
What's running on your phone that drains the battery in two hours? I easily get 12+ hours with around 25% of the battery to spare. Today I've been streaming Pandora for almost 4 hours and still have over 75% battery. That includes taking calls, text, and emails.

One thing to add to battery to the list of big drainers. "Use wireless networks." It's found under "setting" > "location & security." When this is turned on and you have Google Maps installed, it keeps "com.google.android.apps.maps:LocationFriendsService" (Latitude's friend location service) running in the background whether you are signed into Latitude or not. Killing the service is no good as it will keep popping up. Unless switched off, it will constantly ping wireless towers around you.

If you're using a weather widget, or another app that requires location service and you're not traveling out of town, just use "allow mock locations." Found under "settings" > "applications" > "development." That way whatever software you are using that needs your location will just use the last one it recorded and not send out requests to the nearest tower.
[Epic 4G General] syntax_erorr:
I thought too maybe I had a rouge app sucking my juice. So I hard reset the device, it is setup just like it is out of the box.

I would love to get 4 hours of streaming audio. Right now I get about 2.
[HD2 General] OHHitsKB:
Right now I have a Samsung Vibrant. Back when the HD2 came out I bought one, hoping that a solid Android ROM would come out. But after a while, I got sick of laggy WinMo and I sold the HD2 and went back to a G1 for a while 'til the Vibrant came out. However, I really miss the form factor of the HD2 (Even though Super AMOLED is aaawesome). The sturdy metal body and big screen were great. Of course, after I sell it, Android ROMs start popping up. So Now, I'm considering going back to an HD2. But before I do this, I was hoping I could get some feed back on the quality of the ROMs out there. Are the latest Froyo ones fully functional or are there still things that don't work in them? Also, is rooting a WinMo phone different from rooting an Android phone, or does it even need to be rooted at all?
[HD2 General] motoman234:
There are still a few bugs to ring out but for the most part its fully functional, the only problem im still dealing with are freezes, which dont come around too often. The way progress is coming along it wont be long at all till its perfected (hopefully with functional recovery in the future). As for your question about if windows is alike android in rooting, not at all. Its MUCH easier.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shidell:
I've made this post in the Development section to little avail--CM RC1 BT works great for me in my car, yet RC2 and Final fail.

I haven't seen other posts depicting problems, so I'm at a loss as to why it's only me with the issues. For reference, I have a 2009 Elantra with the built-in BT headunit.

Re-flashing RC1 works every time--I'm presented the "BlueConnect(TM) wishes to Pair." dialog via the Notification Bar, and selecting it begins the pairing process flawlessly.

Here's what I've tried:

Modifying the CM-6.0.0-Final.zip archive, replacing these files with the ones from the RC1 archive:

\bin\bluetoothd

\etc\bluetooth\audio.conf, auto_pairing.conf, blacklist.conf, input.conf, main.conf

\lib\bluez-plugin\audio.so, input.so

\lib\libbluedroid.so, libbluetooth.so, libbluetoothd.so

Flashing this "modified" zip archive does work/boot successfully, but still no luck in getting BT to pair.

I was hoping the above test would work, to indicate a problem with a shared object library or driver, but as it does not, I'm left to wonder if it could be an Android system modification as part of the CM build process that's affected?

Any input or help would be appreciated. Am I really the only person with BT issues in this RC1/RC2&Final scenario?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
RC2 (and the prior nightlies) fixed a lot of Bluetooth issues for people. I'd recommend reading the instructions, and getting a logcat of the error, then heading over to the CM Issue Tracker.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shidell:
Thanks for the reply, and the advice--but my concern is how will logcat show any deficiency in regard to this issue?

Do you expect that perhaps I'll see some BT-related activity and a failure on my phone? I guess I was interpretting this as it'll probably do/show nothing, but anything is worth a shot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirkland signature:
Hello everyone. I'm pretty new to rooting and flashing ROMs and everything. I was playing with my buddy's rooted Incredible (CM 6.0.1) and I was amazed. I just recently rooted my Incredible and flashed a couple different versions of CM with the same outcome. My phone freezes and then reboots randomly after a couple minutes of it being on. I've tried wiping and restoring factory settings, wiping the cache and wiping calvik. I also tried clearing the storage and then flashing the ROM with no luck. Is it possible that CM just doesn't work with my Incredible or is there any possible way to fix the constant reboots? I apologize in advance if this has been covered already. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0xdroid:
Yes, I had the exact same problems. Impressed with the features, but disappointed with stability. I switched for now to VirtuousROM and have been happy. Also, check forum.cyanogenmod.com. Several people facing the same problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirkland signature:
Is it just by chance that it's so unstable? My buddy has been running CM 6.0.1 for awhile now with no reboots at all. In any case, thanks for the info. I'll give the cyanogenmod forms a try.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
If I recall, CM 6.0.1 had a default overclock of 1.15 which some phones can't handle. But CM 6.0.2 restored default setting to 998 (stock), which should solve the problem! :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirkland signature:
I tried both CM 6.0.1 and CM 6.0.2 and both had the same results. They both of them did the freeze and reboots over and over again.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julesism:
I've had great luck with CM nightly builds starting from 9/6 which was released after 6.0.2. I'm currently running the 9/8 nightly. If you decide to try a nightly, do a full wipe first.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuraixzodus:
Don't feel alone I have struggled with cm as well. Im using. 92 hboot 2.15 radio and still get splash freeze and reboot upon install. I have wiped: data,cache& dalvik...still no success. Any help.would be great. I've tried almost all nightlys rc3 6.0 6 6.1 6.2.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirkland signature:
Do I need the sd-ext partition to run CM? When I go to wipe everything it always returns with the message "sd-ext partition does not exist" but it still wipes everything else. If so, how do I go about creating that partition? Thanks for all the help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermanBrat:
You don't need the sd-ext partition. I would download set-cpu, you can find it free on xda, and make sure that it is not overclocking for you.

[Vibrant General] Tempott:
on the Galaxy S?

http://www.samsunghub.com/2010/09/0...-core-cortex-a9-processor-for-mobile-devices/
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
uh. maybe you should read the article you LINKED yourself

It won't be on the Galaxy S since the Galaxy S is using Hummingbird already. It'll most likely be the Galaxy S2 (or whatever Samsung wants to call it)
[Vibrant General] Tempott:
Hmmm, pretty sure the article didnt mention when it would be on the Galaxy S.

Nonetheless, the thread was started as a point of interest. No need to get all crabby.

Umm, no shiz? Wasnt talking about current Galaxy S. Thought it would be obvious that I meant the Galaxy S series phones.

Wow, just wow. Turn that frown upside down.

Hello! When i first got my Captivate, the daily buzz widget was on one of my desktop pages. I really like that widget, but the problem is it wont work with Open Home or ADW.

Does anybody know of another widget like this that works on Open Home and/or ADW? The standard facebook and myspace widgets are garbage and hardly usable...

4gb internal memory with 8gb sd on top of hspa+? Sign me up! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mingkee:
If UMA and mobile hotspot are included, please sign me up as well (and I can let go of nexus one).
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
No uma. Sorry... I never used uma. What is the big deal about it? So it's like voip, right? Why not root the damn thing and you've got uma and wifi tether will work as mobile hotspot. Tmobile MIGHT leave the 2.2 usb tethering option available. I'm sure they will and wifi tethering is as simple as installing an app. You know that crap already so why ask? Who cares if the other "basic" users don't? I am excited about having 2 GB of rom available. I'm used to stupid phones like the G1 and MTS that have no space available plus A2SD ain't perfect. Nice, nice phone! Can't wait till Oct and dump this lack luster MTS.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mulletcutter:
yes cant wait, now it will be so much more enjoyable to play angry birds.
[G2 and Desire Z General] silverwolf0:
Things I find a bit disappointing.

1. 184 grams, or 6.5 ounces. One of the heavier HTC QWERTY phones. Competing phones like the Epic and 3G Slide are 150~ grams, although those are cheap plastic. Is the HSPA+ antenna heavy?

2. 800Mhz processor. Yeah that was obvious.

3. 1300mAh battery. Isn't the norm 1500mAh?

4. Why do all HTC phones look identical? It can still be manly and stylish...
[G2 and Desire Z General] mulletcutter:
i think the DROID is 5.9ounces and MT slide is 5.8. time to wear a belt. atleast its not a samsung
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hayzie:
Guys, the phones aren't even heavy. I have no problem carrying it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bunu:
This new 800 mhz processor performs better than the old 1 ghz processors in phones like the N1. Also has a faster GPU
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
1. Heavier, but that's fine by me.

2. This is the reason manufacturers push specs like the ridiculous "dynamic contrast ratio" ratings. You can't only go by clock speed to determine whether one processor is better than another. As the previous poster said, this outperforms the 1ghz Snapdragons and has a better GPU. Also, as soon as this is rooted, you will be able to easily clock it to 1ghz if it bothers you that much. The proc is underclocked in the G2.

3. Yeah, this kind of disappointed me. Hopefully the move to a newer generation 45nm processor will negate this concern... I want to believe that T-Mobile/HTC wouldn't release something with relatively poor battery life again after the whining when the G1 came out.

4. What? It's all opinion. I don't see how this doesn't look manly or stylish. I like the design and IMO is a step away from your typical glossy black phone everyone else has. I like the enterprise, tech-ey look and reminds me of a Nexus 1. I hope you don't consider an iPhone a "manly" phone, and look how many use one. Furthermore, I'm rocking a G1 so you can see what priority the style has for me :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mylenthes:
Does anyone have a clue as to what the screen resolution is going to be on the g2? Hopefully the same resolution as the Nexus one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
haha, I'd hope it'd be better than the iPhone's 'Retina Display' (seriously..it actually looks quite good!). But I would be expecting a WVGA screen res - this seems to be the industry standard now
[G2 and Desire Z General] uelsimon:
looks like it's 800x480
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidtoy09:
Ooo my, the more I look at it, the more I cant wait to have it...lol I'm a sucker when it comes to smartphones.

btw, does anyone know a good high quality screen protector for smartphone like this one? I've seen millions of them out there but alot of them are crappy, thick and dull plastic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
The screen is S-TFT WVGA 800 -480. Doesn't touch SAMOLED or Retina, but better than Evo or Droid 2 screens.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mulletcutter:
Heard this somewhere, but since 3.0 is in development don't phones need a 1ghz processor to get it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
No one knows the official required specs of gingerbread. I'm guessing better GPUs will be needed for it, but I don't see why an 800Mhz phone wouldn't be able to run it smoothly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mulletcutter:
just asking, cuz the G1 is able to run froyo, so i guess anything is possible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidtoy09:
To me, it seems stupid to think G2 won't be able to get Gingerbread.

I just want to see the black square in action that seems to be replacing the trackball. Also looks like no led notification light like the nexus one. The later is the most dissapointing feature to lose.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidtoy09:
That "black square" is called trackpad. it's been implemented on many smart phones recently. I have a BB9700 and it works flawlessly.

There IS Notification LED. Have you not looked at recently release videos of the Desire Z which is essentially European version of the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
That was a comparison between Amoled and SLCD, not Super Amoled. And no, SLCD looks nowhere near as good as Super Amoled, it was made to replace regular Amoled screens.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamVib:
I cannot use ROM Manager to preform a backup. When I select "Backup Current ROM" it reboots, goes to recovery starts "backing up" and doesn't do anything. I waited there for 20 minutes and it didn't move. Took out the battery and tried again. Same deal.

Any help? :mad:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
I dont use that menu, whenever I make a nandroid backup, I go into clockwork recovery, select nandroid, then select backup.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamVib:
Odd. I don't see an actual "nandroid" to select. Can you elaborate?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Yep, rom manager and clockwork recovery are 2 different things packaged together. Look at the top 2 options in rom manager. First, click flash clockworkmod recovery and choose vibrant. Once done click reboot into recovery. If you see your normal recovery screen thats ok. Click reinstall packages and you will be taken to clockwork recovery and see the nandroid menu. Volume keys for up and down. Power key to select.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Also, one thing to keep in mind, this puts an update.zip in the root of your sdcard.(internal) keep it there. Never remove it. If you need to flash a different zip file like you may have done to root it, use clockwork recovery. There is an option to choose the zip you want to flash without renaming the file to update.zip. The reason being is if you move or delete the update.zip from your root, if something does go wrong you will not be able to get to clockwork recovery by reinstalling packages in your normal recovery screen to restore the backup you will have made.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wink4life:
ok si i have a similar issue, i rooted fine, i installed rom manager i did the clowork download for the vibrant but when i click boot into recovery it says installing package or whatever but then it says it couldnt verify signature and then yeah it fails and reboots. its never happened to me before, i tried to factory reset, unroot and try from fresh but still no go

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
i use linux on my home pc and i have not seen a thread or qestion answered about flashing odin from linux so i tried it myself, forgive me if it has been covered before.

i was able to successfully flash with odin using windeows running inside a vm. my vm software is sun virtual box.

before you do this read the instructions for running odin in widows as i dont go into odin specific detail here.

1. created virtual machine.

2. installed windows XP sp2 on virtual machine

3. installed the newwest version of .net framework(i read that helps but it may have been in reference to kies)

4. dowloaded odin and the proper windows drivers and .pit file and jh2

5. shut down the virtual machine

6. put phone into download mode

7. plugged phone into usb port

8. went into virtual box without the VM running and select

machine>settings>usb

9. clicked the add device icon on the right and clicked on samsung_android[0400]

10. started virtual machine

11. started odin and added the proper .pit file and .tar file

12. pulled batery from phone and put into download mode again and connected the usb and selected devices from the top of the window, selected "samsung_android [0400]"

at this point odin should see the device. if not you may need to reselect the phone in the vm window, do this quickly as there seems to be a time window to start the conection.

simply click start!

this may work in vmware and other vm type software for mac and linux as long as you can mount usb devices to the vm as soon as they are hooked up. if it can be done by com port and not device that may be even better.

i have only done this with virtual box 3.2 running widows XP inside mint 9

if it fails i am not responsible for damage to your device. and in the event it doesn't work go find a friend with windows and run it the proper way! windows machines aren't hard to find!

this worked for my iphone with itunes but was trickier as the driver changes halfway through and that is why i thought this would work.

wine does not work, i have not been able to use wine with software for any device that need drivers when running in widows. so please dont ask!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
wine will not work. it doesn't support USB plugging
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unhelpful:
Wine is a set of libraries and a loader providing a windows-compatible environment for applications, so in general windows drivers do not work with it. There are patches for USB driver support, but installing drivers is a tedious manual task and results are not consistently very good. VBox is known to work and is fairly easy to set up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponack:
Yeah, I figured that out after I posted - I was like wait, there's drivers that need to be installed. Oops. :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
Couldn't have said it better, I have tried wine with lots of software but never got the usb end of things to work. Odin does open under wine but I have no idea how to tell it to see the phone as it would see a windows driver that sees the phone.if that makes sense.

There are things I can try but if feel I'd be wasting my time as I don't know enough to be sure I'm on the right path.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
I'm not sure if I'm on the right track here. To use usb you need to add the device to a list of mountable devices to the vm. With the virtual machine off go settings> devices> usb. The phone should be hooked up and in download mode to ensure that it is seen to the vm exactly as it will be during the odin flash. Once it is on the list it should work. If this is what you are doing I'm not sure I can help, maybe the devs will have more insight.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
So if you do a "lsusb" form the linux box when your phone is in "download" mode do you see the phone?

I can only get it to show up in "recovery" mode... there for I'm having a bit of a problem getting the VM to see it is not seen in linux...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pietro_spina:
well I can see it in download mode now... It was just the stupid front ports on my computer. Seems to prefer the back ones...

so now a device is visible in my windows VM but it is called "Gadget Serial"

When it is in "recovery" windows VM can see it as Samsung etc.. and Odin can connect... But obviously odin needs it to be in "download" not "recovery" for it to work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z80imo:
I've problems trying it...

In normal mode all works and VM detects correctly...

But when I put the phone in Download Mode, "lsusb" freezes...

any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Maybe I'm missing the point of this thread, by why would you go to all the trouble of hacking around to try to make buggy Odin work under Linux instead of just using Heimdall, which is supported natively under Linux?
