[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DavidMc0:
I don't agree that overclocking is dangerous if you're careful with it. I can't remember the last time I had a PC that wasn't overclocked, and I've never had one fail on me.

As long as you don't put the voltages too high & make sure the temperature is kept cool, it's not very risky or dangerous - it's just taking the hardware above the usually conservative guaranteed fully-stable speed set by the manufacturer.

With the HD2, it shouldn't be too different - as long as it's not overheating, it should be fine.

Also, if it's running stable at 1.1ghz, then that indicates that it's happy running at that speed.

The only possible side effect I could think of it potential data corruption if overclocking the CPU/GPU also overlocks a memory bus or whatever. There is no indication so far that this is happening to those who overclock.

I'm not sure about safety features, but I think the phone would become unstable before safety became a concern.

[Droid Incredible General] ananth001:
Since upgading to stock 2.2 Froyo youtube videos have started buffering on my HTC Incredible in 1X mode. Earlier while on stock 2.1 youtube videos used to play out without any buffering stop - even the lengthy ones used to play in one shot without any stops - have no issues with signal strength. Do I need to change VM Heap values to correct this, if so how.

[XPERIA X2 General] JJRockford:
Just noticed that sometimes when I return from the lockscreen, I can't start any programs. Get a dialog box which says that "there are no certifacates, or some components of the program is missing".

And when I check the certificates in the settings->systems, there are not certificates on any level. When I restart the phone, there are a lot of certificates.

So I guess this is the problem, that the certificates disapear. Any idea of how to solve this?
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
It happens every week or so. I just reboot and the problem is gone...
[XPERIA X2 General] JJRockford:
For me it happens AT LEAST once every day, sometimes several times, so the reboot-solution (which I have to use at the moment...) feels somewhat strenuous :)
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
Lol. That may be some software causing this or the tweaks made?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boogey:
The other day one of my friends told me that when he rings my phone lately (since I've started using Android) it always diverts to my voicemail. I did a bit of testing, and figured out that is seems to be happening when 2G/3G data connection is active. Has anyone else had this problem, and can a few people test this out?

I've tested this with 2 radios:

Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2

Leo_RADIO_2.07.51.22_2

and 2 android builds:

30.08.2010¦ ?shubCRAFT 1.5?CM6 Final?¦ ?Kernel: ElBartoME 2.6.32.9 #1? ¦

New Nexus One Android 2.2 Build FRG33 [ mccm v1](5.9.2010)

I have tested on WM and this problem isn't happening there. I am on O2 UK Post Pay.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] z_rudy:
I have this problem and it happens when my phone is sending/receiving data, not when the data connection is idle. It happens on WM, Android, and on my iPhone too. My provider says this is normal and nothing can be done.

Switching from 2.12 radio to 2.10 in my sig helped this a lot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boogey:
I gave 2.10 a go, but it seemed to make little difference for me. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ddgarcia05:
I had the same problem with the 2.12 radio. I wouldn't get any calls from sprint users.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jldiablo:
This is normal with GPRS aka 2G. It's like you go online with a modem and a phone line in the old days (dial-up). Even when you are trying to send a txt, and a call come in at the same time, the text sending will fail. This is very annoying.

not sure about 3G tho, some say that the 3G can handle data and calls at the same time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nks:
I get this too, Plus when i recieve a call i cannot hear the caller for 10 seconds or so ? but the caller can hear me straight away ?

I did post this in the HD2 general thread but got no responce...

Have changed sim card as i was told this could be the issue but no luck also tried various radios/Builds inc android again with no luck..

Looks like were gonna have to live with it

GPRS/Edge does not necessarily allow simultaneous voice

Well I had no idea. I thought that one of the main advantages of GRPS/Edge was simultaneous voice and data, but I guess not. Apparently it is dependent one the cellular network configuration/capacity.

Here's an MSDN article related to it (not that I consider MS a reliable source of anything, but worth a read :p)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYRican:
I had this exact problem. For me it started after using android on my HD2 then whenever i had my phone on UMTS i could call it with another phone and 4 times oout of 5 i would ring all the way to voicemail and never notify me. I first thought it was ATT but i tested my sibling's phone and it was fine, i even switched SIM cards. the problem seems to have gone away with my HD2 after two weeks however I ended up ordering a telus desire with ATT bands. Although now my HD2 reboots in android randomly whenever using UMTS data.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FromToronto:
This is what I get as well, except the caller doesn’t hear me for 5 secs or so. I end having to say “hello” 3 times before they can actually hear anything and by that time they usually hang up. I’ve had this problem with WinMo as well, using Telstra on Rogers. It’s kind of annoying since I end up having to use daytime minutes to call them right back.

I found that some x.51.xx radios helped but Android as far as I know is only compatible with x.50.xx radios. So hopefully a new radio will help with this though I’m not really counting on it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] paulglover70:
I thought I was going mad

I have the same problem but only just found out. I use my Google navigation a lot, but just discovered when I do that incoming calls are routed to voicemail. I have tried 3 different Radio's from the recommended Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 down to 12 and even 08 nothing seems to work.

I have also tried different ROM's from HD Desire to Gingerbread, again no difference.

Not sure if the problem existed on the SD ROM's but it is sertantly an issue on the NAND ROM's.

I am using RMNET as this is the only one that seems stable on O2 in the UK.

This problem is driving me crazy.

Someone else please HELP!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Singhman:
My phone is fighting to find reception all day, and it does a number on my battery. Is there a way i can force the phone to not go on hspa and just use 3g, or 2g or whatever? Dont need internet access at work, just calls. thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DagsJT:
Settings -> Wireless & network -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode and choose "GSM only" and that'll keep it on GPRS/2G.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ollie2:
Click

Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks

and then tick the 'Use only 2G networks'.

This helps battery life a bit but if you're still in a bad 2G area it will still flatten the battery quicker than normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ollie2:
D'oh, too slow :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
use this

[Vibrant General] 98classic:
Settings>wireless n networks>mobile network>use only 2g networks

Thats what u need
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
This phone is only capable of 3g not HSPA+ however, we can go up to the threshold of 7.2. You can only turn off the 3g and will only get edge from the comment above.
[Vibrant General] Singhman:
My phone does not have that option. I think Bell is different
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
The OP's thread title says that he's in Canada and using Bell Mobility not T-Mobile.

http://www.simplymobile.com/wireless/data-device-details.asp?PhoneID=1230 says that it does indeed support HSPA.

And HSPA != HSPA+ (I believe.. would make sense since theres two difference names to it)

@Singhman: 98classic said it wrong. It's in Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network -> Use Only 2G Networks
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
Im pretty sure i read his post correctly he only wants to use 2g and 3g.... however with most people confusing HSPA and HSPA+ i just guessed he was referring to HSPA+
[Vibrant General] hondaguy:
bell mobility's network does not work on edge (2g). it is a 3g network only. the bell version of the phone shows the option to use 2g, but people using a bell sim can only use 3g.

i have the phone unlocked and on the rogers network and while my phone will switch to 2g when rf is very low, i cannot manually set it to lock to 2g with the stock rom. i have flashed to the jm6 rom and this one gives me the option to switch to 2g and lock it in, but i have issues trying to manually switch back to 3g when i do this.

if you are in an office with poor rf strength, try leaving wifi on so that your data connection will not have to work as hard to maintain a connection. thats what i do when i get home and i find it eats less battery.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
No. use the app "APNdroid" @ http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.google.code.apndroid

Leaving Wi-Fi on without actually being connected to a Wi-Fi network actually drains your battery since it scans for nearby WiFi networks especially ones that are public and alerts you.

@Talltexan: No you did not read it right

you said:

On the Vibrant, HSPA, HSDPA or whatever are still listed as 3G and not H. The OP said HSPA not HSPA+
[Vibrant General] hondaguy:
if the op does want to totally disable the apn then apndroid will work but i wont use that kind of stuff as i seem to have all kinds of issues after installing apps like this. i am sure it works well for some, but not for me.
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
I wont continue this any further but he wanted to force it to stay on 3g or 2g and not hspa..... thanks have a great day! (see the part i highlighted in yellow in my previous app)

To answer the op's question maybe you can use Tasker to set up a task to turn off data at a specified time during the day, but its a paid app.
[Vibrant General] talltexan:
Yah unfortunately i have a T mobile branded Vibrant so its hard to tell what has been changed between ours and the one for Bell.

i'm using opendesire 4.0.4 combined with launcher pro plus. the problem is, everytime when i push the homebutton of my desire i get back to the opendesire home. and also i get the opendesire keyboard instead of ma swype keyboard...

is there any setting i didn't edit or is it a bug or what's my problem???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsn84:
I use OD as well, though 4.0.2 and Pro Launcher Plus.

Have you checked the preferences of ProLauncher?

when at home screen press menu and preferences, go to "behavior settings" and click "home key action". What is it set for? mine is for "Open/close screen previews"
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wernout:
...thx for answering...

yeah i've the same settings. so that can't be the reason of the problem. i think there is a more dominant setting of od. but i didn't find it. there is just the possibility to change the settings if you hold the homebutton.

another way to solve the prob?

it really sucks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3LZ3r:
i think he means, that launcher pro can't be set as standart launcher. so the the standart android launcher activates every time pushing the home button...

[Desire General] machine man:
Hi all,

did a manual check for updates this morning and 2.2 is available, yay!

The trouble is, I'm to frightened to download it as a couple of people on the O2 forum have said it's bricked their phones-stuck on the startup/splash screen!

A few people complained about this happening with their Dell Sreaks with 2.1 a couple of days ago.

What we gonna do guys?
[Desire General] A|ex:
I dont get the point in the post, either go ahead and update or dont update? Firmware bricks are a grey area with warranty, i would imagine if its non HTC official update HTC may not fix it, if it is HTC i would imagine they would.

I dont know if you can enter recovery to backup your current rom if you have not rooted yet
[Desire General] nssundaram:
I did my update without any problem. I too got scarred when the device restarted 2 times. Everything going good. Started to see some battery improvement too
[Desire General] machine man:
The point of the post is to warn others to hang a little till O2 sort this out, might save a bit of anguish, unless people want to take the risk.....
[Desire General] EddyOS:
How long were peoiple waiting on the boot screen? Can take 5-10 minutes sometimes on first boot...did for me going from 2.1 to 2.2 on my SIM-free Desire
[Desire General] Rastaman-FB:
can they not download the RUU o2 update from shipped roms and apply it manually if it gets to that state?

getting stuck at splash screen tends to mean that the bootloader and recovery is intact
[Desire General] RudidasRentier:
Well my Desire is bricked by the update. bootloader still works. I guess ill wait a bit. Maybe o2 will release something to recover the phone. Otherwise ill try to go with the warranty ...

edit : recovery mode works ... so a working update.zip + any way to get it on the phone could solve the problem ...

[Captivate General] breakformula:
I recently just bought my first Android phone. The Samsung Captivate. I love this phone. My most favorite phone ever. I've been looking online. And I deleted all of the atnt bloatware off. rooting, then using titanium backup and such. Then awhile ago I used the one click lag fix app. I used the "Quadrant Standard" app to just see where i phone was at. 850'ish before root. 940'ish after root and now it's at around 2025 with lag fix and rooted. Is that good?? I wouldn't know, with this being my first Android phone. I would like to overclock it as well and get the Froyo 2.2 whenever I can. But being a noobie to this. I don't know how to quite go about it. Suggestions? Help? all are appreciated. Thanks :)
[Captivate General] glio1337:
Quadrant is a terrible benchmark so don't pay attention to it.

I recommend SuperRooterExtreme for all your Rooting + Bloatware Removal + Overclocking needs.

Froyo 2.2 is not out yet for the Captivate, not even the test versions. Some people have done some hacking to get an I9000 2.2 test ROM to run on their Captivate but it has it's share of bugs so it's not worth it.

Froyo should be out officially by the end of the month so it's probably best to just wait. Enjoy your Captivate!
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Welcome! Ditto above post, grin and bear it unless you want to deal with buggy rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scutworker:
I see that several ROMs now have settings for "CPUfrec interactive, powersave, ondemand".

What do these do?

I am aware of SetCPU that was used to save battery, but how does this fit in with the above?

Do I need to use SetCPU on these ROMS, or is it automatic? Is it better with these new settings? What about Perflock?

An explanation of what all this is about would be useful.

Cheers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
Interactive is the one to toggle if you want performances with acceptable battery time. Ondemand is a little less reactive but saves more battery witout harming performances too much. Use powersave instead if you only care about battery time. That's it (i guess).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scutworker:
Cheers, that explains it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kinma:
Keep in mind that Powersave keeps the phone running at 245 MHz. That is the very reason battery time becomes longer.

For me this is too low - the machine becomes too slow - and I did not buy a 1 GHz phone to only have it running at 245 MHz all the time.

Just play with the settings and see what works best for you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dunbad:
An example of decent settings by people who know what there doing would be good.

Mine is set at screen off, 245min 245 max powersave.

Main profile is 998 max 245 min, interactive, with set on boot ticked.

Temp selected to 38 degrees, 245/245 powersave.

If battery becomes more or less important, what to change to in terms of govnor but also up threshold on advanced settings.

Thanks

Any ideas?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
I've noticed that sometimes newly added pictures take a while to show up in Gmail, but they seem to turn up eventually - It's possible that it does a text-only sync first, then syncs the pictures later

[Legend General] evank418:
I think another reason this phone can't be a big hit in the states is because of Samsung. AMOLED is pretty much only available for galaxy s at this point, they have difficulty making the phone. Korea just released legend, but it is limited to 20000 unit. How can it make impact when they can't make it to let people buy legend?
[Legend General] Firen89:
Seems like the Legend is gonna be a limited Smartphone ;)

From Twitter:

"@sloy5101 @Warrior_Of_Ice @Tole16v un comunicado oficial de htc dijo que llegaría Froyo para Desire,Legend y Wildfire a partir de este mes!"
