[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
Cool, thanks. I will try that app out.

Is this the native Froyo one or is this a 3rd party apk?

Is there any reason it was removed from the stock Froyo build?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I think the 'built-in' tethering was for USB, not wifi...

I have an option in the default settings app that has tethering, but only for USB. Since USB is relatively useless to us, the only way to tether is wifi.

I'm not sure who built that tether app, I want to say stinebd. Not positive tho. That app is provided by an XDA dev tho, not Google or HTC...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manekineko:
It seems like Froyo is supposed to have another built-in tethering over wifi option. You can see screenshots of it around the net:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...wifi-access-pointmobile-hotspot-capabilities/

But on our Froyo when I go to that screen I only have USB.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Meh, devs probably just disabled it... not sure. That APK should work flawlessly tho... always did for me, even if my phone did heat up like a fireball. I also found that it would discharge the battery faster than my USB port could charge it... Beware.

it works great doesn't get too hot and the charger keeps up just fine. I use it to get net on my ipad!

for first thing, my rom is leon 4.3

I have done different settings to adjust the battery life and they allowed me to take the phone from morning 100% and at tonight (at 1.30) to 77%, which I am very satisfied.

My settings:

_ I left as the default power saving tweaks HTC

_ the Radio is 2.12.50.02_2

_ I removed the check of "mode switch to 3G" in the settings (very very important for people that does not use of 3G connections but only the usb connections with active sinc)

_ I removed the lock screen, so when I block it looks like this:

View attachment 396395

this allow to consume low memory and battery and I must only enter unlock buttom. (it's possible to do it installing the default lockscreen .cab and another edited (for example dinik lockscreen) and after that disinstalling them.

_then I put "decrease volume when arrive a calling"

_then I put automatic dimming backlight and reduction after 30 seconds, locking after 5 minutes.

Write me if you note any differents for the battery life.

Use my settings at your risk,although there aren't.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisb:
Hi guys. I would like to adress a seroise issue that some of the nexus owners have.

I am one of them.

Most of the roms on the forum are not flashable due to a status 7 error. I got the same error using amon ra and clockwork recovery.

I underatand that the issu happend because i have some bad blocks or that the immages are bigger and could not be flashed. I can asure you that this is how i got my phone from google and i bought it on the first day it was availble online.

At this mpment i am seeking a solution that can solve my problem so i will be able to flash any rom ( rodriguez, enomether, cm6 , or evil nexus).

I was able to fflash some of the roms but i would really wanna be on the cutting edge.

probally a solution is to split the roms into 2 updates.zip.

i do not expect the prnogrammers to do it only for a small number of people but if you will be able to help me out and explain how to i will really appriciate this.

I am really desperate and need your help.

Thank you
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisb:
Hay... Any one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Are you bootloader-unlocked? try re-flashing a new recovery. That's all I can really think of. Splitting the update won't do anything, to the best of my knowledge.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisb:
Of course.

I flashes AMON RA 1.08 and clockworks.

Same deal. Nothing helps. I cannot install CM6 but I can install kang-o-rama that is based on CM6.

I am also able to flash emonther official but not the micromod that is based on that rom.

The rom just need to be smaller.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisb:
OK. This is what I have found out.

I cant flash the boot.img separately .

It has to be lower than 2.5. Thats why I am able to flash KANG O RAMA> couse its image is 2.35

I need a method in which the images will be lower.

How come some of the developers are unknown to this and some do?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Some of the Nexuses came out with bad blocks in the boot partition. It limits their ability to use custom ROMs, since custom ROMs usually include more options, newer kernels etc, which in turn makes the boot.img grow in size. Nothing much to do. Some of the ROM developers account for these devices and try to make boot.img smaller, some don't - or can't.

Micromod changes the original TheOfficial kernel to another one, with another boot.img - that's why you're unable to flash it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisb:
OK, What can I do then?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
What I wrote in the other thread, in General section - change the kernels of the customized ROMs based on Enomther or CM6 sources back to their original ones.
[Captivate General] blackinches:
Flashed(2 time since ownership) my cappy a week ago with SRE 1.2.1 thenthe lagfix. Everything ran just great and still does but taskiller never goes above 100mb after killing eveything. It used to average in the updder 160s all the time. Don't have a lot of things running really, no different than what I have had running since I bought the phone.

Any ideas why lost 100mb of memory?!
[Captivate General] blackinches:
nearly 100 views and no answers?:confused:
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
My phone has 71 MB free. but it runs like a top so I don't care. Obsessing over numbers is pointless really. If it works, it doesn't matter. And task Killers are silly on this phone. It has more memory than just about anything else out there
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
I agree. I had a task killer when I first got the phone and I felt it was always freezing up on me. I stopped using it along time ago and my phone runs a lot better. I guess eclair is designed to close apps by itself when memory is needed
[Captivate General] myx0mop:
There is another reason to use a task killer - to stop certain apps from draining the battery while they are sitting in the background. Just be discriminate, and pick which apps to kill and which to leave running..
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I just don't use apps that are that poorly written.
[HD2 General] Rosco911:
My friend showed me his new HD2, after a reboot to get my sim back, the phone wont turn back on!

Is it bricked?

And is there anything we can do? :(
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
Your really not giving us enough info. Why were rebooting, what was wrong with your sim? What does your computer say when you plug it in? What did you install before the reboot?
[HD2 General] Rosco911:
Nothing wrong with my sim... i was trying the phone, since I have 3G and he doesnt.... we were checking it out... nothing was installed, we realy just did some browsing....
[HD2 General] gaarry:
Look at the battery pins, are one of the bent?
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
It's only bricked if you installed a custom ROM with an incorrect radio on it or installed just an incorrect radio...

If you didn't it's something to do with your battery or battery pins. Even without a SIM they will turn on.
[HD2 General] articulatekevin:
phone wont turn on!!! help someone

i just flashed a radio last night. stock rom ..the flashed finished completely. the phone looked like it was going to restart but never came back on. and wont turn on no matter what i do. wont go into bootloader...wont charge. wont do anything!!!! did i brick my phone? i did have hspl

us htc hd2 with tmobile

the radio was 2.05.50.11

any help would be helpfull
[HD2 General] crisisinthecity:
Sorry to break it to you but there are two .50 radios that will brick your phone... 2.05.50.XX and 2.04.50.XX.

This is why it's so important to search before you flash a radio. A quick search of this site will show you this thread which contains the ONLY radios that are safe. It's also a sticky on the TMOUS ROM development forum.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fuzzysig:
while phone looks like its sleeping the apps are still working and using the processing power for whatever they are doing there behind the black screen.

and theres alot of apps that need to sync or update or pull data off the internetz

would that be a possible issue of standby battery drain?

i mean i can turn my phone on at random times and there will be 10-20 apps running in the background when i didnt even use them.

they just start check something and sut back down.

can i stop the apps from autolaunching?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
remove task killer and run auto killer .. also use autorun killer to stop certain apps from starting. I would caution you to be careful what apps you stop. You make cause important apps not to work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MvP77:
If there are apps running its cause they have a task to do. You can manually change your syncing to stop these apps from starting. Also try autokiller and set it to aggressive. This way the apps continue there task and android shuts them down faster than normal
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ddgarcia05:
Thanks for the tip. I have both running. I haven't stooped any apps from running with autorun killer, I'm hoping it does it on its own. The other is set on aggressive.
[EVO 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I got an EVO right after launch and loved it. I had a problem with the camera not working (defect). Best Buy didn't know when they were getting any back in so I canceled my upgrade and waited for the Epic. The Epic is an amazing piece of hardware. The screen has to be seen to be believed. That being said my first Epic was returned because the capacitive buttons didn't work at all. Best Buy swapped me out without a problem. My second one seemed to to be perfect (aside from the movement of the screen when the slider was closed).

After having it a few days I really liked the screen and the idea of the physical keyboard. However, I soon realized that the honeymoon phase was over when I tried to use the GPS and could only lock 1 sat no matter where I was. Then I noticed that I was getting what appeared to image retention. For example the notification bar left a faint image on the screen when on a all white screen (I only noticed cause I started hiding the notification bar with LaunchPro). Then I noticed that I could also see a faint image of the dialer buttons when on the same all white or blue screen. There are threads on here as well as other sites that detail how and why AMOLED screens have this issue. I guess the Nexus 1 had the same issue.

The keyboard was nice but the buttons were to spaced apart for me. I also didn't like the location of the power button it was awkward. I know that Samsung is "supposed" to fix the GPS but that remains to be seen. In my experience the screen was REALLY nice but if the image retention happens that easily it kinda ruins it for me. It's like the old school plasmas.

I was going to just swap it out again but honestly I expected the same problems. I called Best Buy this morning and told them what was happening and I asked if they had any EVO's and they actually received 1 white EVO this morning. They held it for me and the rest is history.

I have to say that coming full circle back to an Evo really feels great. I know on paper the Epic is supposed to be better and many like me were on the fence but the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The Evo feels better in my hand and it works. I just thought I would share my experience with switching to the Epic.
[EVO 4G General] sopel10:
I was actually considering a switch but the more I read about it the more I want to stay with our evo

Swyped from my cm6
[EVO 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I took the plunge cause I couldn't get a hold of a replacement EVO. I really liked it at first but then all the negatives present themselves. The GPS is a HUGE deal for me and the image retention that I experienced was a deal breaker. I wish I took pictures of the the retention but the only camera I had was on the Epic.

I couldn't believe I found an EVO again. My new EVO came with 2.2 already on it.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
thats what she said!

j/k, month 4 and i'm still loving my evo man
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
That's what she said! (I'm her Evo man.)

Ha ha! Punctuation.
[EVO 4G General] tdusen:
This was the reason I returned my AT&T Captivate and switched to the EVO. Samsung claimed that the GPS was fixed in the Epic. Thanks for confirming that I made the right decision.
[EVO 4G General] rogerwalker22:
Yeah I've had my EVO since launch day June 4th, coming from the Touch Pro 2 I was honestly thinking of taking it back with in my 30 days and holding off for the Epic as well. Good god am I happy I didn't now. Even though I'm currently waiting on my 2nd replacement so in all my 3rd one since launch, it still beats all the bulls*** problems the Epic has. I mean image retention? really? The biggest deal breaker of them all has to be the fact that it's a SAMSUNG though. F*** SAMSUNG! HTC for life! I've been nothing but happy with HTC since the 6700, to the Mogul, to the Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2 and now my amazing EVO =]
[EVO 4G General] makoute:
You know what, I was playing with my friends Epic this past Saturday, for about 4 hours, and I never got a lock on the gps, during those four hours.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
meh, aesthetically the evo wins in art design. too sleek, too minimal, light red/chrome accents.... love it.

never liked samsung's cellphone designs or their logo.

would like to have the improved graphics capabilities in the evo though.
[EVO 4G General] twilk73:
The screen issue should have been expected lol. I bet the hardware keyboad would be nice to have but I am getting better with this on screen keyboard. The multi-touch droid x keyboard is nice for landscape and swype is great for portrait.

Samsung still makes crappy phones I guess lol. On another note I have never said I "love this phone" as many times as I have with the Evo. Im afraid to upgrade to the next best thing. I feel like a freaking power house with the Evo. Yeah there are other phones with the same or better specs but man this phone just does it all and does it all well. The FPS is arguably the biggest down side and I havnt had any issues with that yet. I do have it unlocked to almost 60 FPS though with CM6.
[EVO 4G General] ricersniper:
Epic Fail

Epic Fail!!
[EVO 4G General] appzattak:
I carry both at all times and love them both...although the evo is my main.
[EVO 4G General] oxeneers:
I got the Epic the other day, had it for about 6 days, then returned it today and put myself on the waiting list for a White EVO 4G. I got a free EVO from Google's developer seeding program, and it is starting to have that "white spot" where the B on the soft keyboard is - and it's driving me crazy. Since I was given a complimentary EVO, I cannot have it serviced. So, White EVO 4G for me it is.

The EVO is a one of a kind device. The battery drain and TIME WITHOUT SIGNAL issues on the Epic are a dealbreaker. The GPS sucks, yeah, but it still WORKS. The screen door effect on the screen sucks but oh man is that screen beautiful. The hardware keyboard is good but I found myself using Swype 90% more of the time with the Epic.

HTC makes some solid stuff, and this is definitely a solid phone. The Epic 4G had major creaking issues, instantly out of the box - and that is just inexcusable for a $249 phone. The EVO is better built than the Epic and it costs .. less? Hmm..

Anyhow, obviously we're all different, but the battery drain issues were too much for me.
[EVO 4G General] dabezt1:
Im currently in the process of switching to Sprint from tmobile and looking into these two phones. Im coming from the samsung vibrant which should be an easy transition to the epic but i dont now if i can deal with the keyboard. Ive been playing around with my freinds evo alot and LOVE the size. 4.3 in display is awesome. Most people think 4in is just right but im one of those guys that think bigger is better :D.

Here are my pros for both

Epic

FAR better screen.

Better battery life.

Far better 3d perfromance

Slightly Better processor

Evo

Awsome 4.3 screen size

Better Development support

Dual LED

Better design/look

Leaning towards the evo right now only because im not a keyboard guy.
[EVO 4G General] Hanson68:
I would add to your pros list:

Epic

Far better video recording and dedicated shutter button

Evo

Froyo

Sense copy/paste

BTW, battery life on the Epic, depending on the user, is anywhere from a lot better to a lot worse than the Evo. The issue is the SAMOLED screen and the increased power consumption it needs to produce whites. If you watch a lot of video, especially movies with dark scenes, the battery will last a good while. But if you primarily surf the net and those pages are pretty much black text on white background, your battery experience will be worse. So battery life is a YMMV. Some reviewers thought it was better than the Evo, but Anandtech uses internet surfing to gauge battery life, and it was significantly shorter than the Evo when using 3G (but a skosh higher over 4G). The Evo lasted much longer over wifi.

[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
I have had several Samsung devices. The i760, The Moment etc and EVERY one of them has GPS issues that Samsung "tries" in vain to fix down the road.

It is just frightening how you can count on some companies to make the same mistakes over and over again!
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Just curious, does the Epic have that same "cheap plastic" feel that the other Galaxy S phones have? One thing I love about the EVO is its solid, heavy feeling.
[EVO 4G General] dabezt1:
Its more solid than the vibrant, but it still feels lighter than evo. I guess its personal preference. Since i got used to the vibrant is feels great. First time i picked up the evo it felt to heavy, and because of its size i could really feel it when I put it in my pocket, but loved how it looked. But after playing with it for most of that day i got used to it and had no problems
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
the keyboard does feel cheap. didn't like the buttons at all.
[EVO 4G General] oxeneers:
The phone has severe creaking issues even a few days after purchase. This is a minor example.

[EVO 4G General] dboogie2288:
I second the EPIC FAIL here. I got one from radioshack last week, and it goes back tomorrow. My unit had some sort of failed audio...I reflashed different kernels, factory reset, nothing. The cap buttons didnt cause me much trouble, but I definitely did notice some lacking response to the back button.

HTC makes great devices, and I really hope that they make a similar device to the Epic, much like the touch pro/2...
[EVO 4G General] buckrub58:
Got my Epic on launch day. Liked the colors on the screen. Found out I actually didn't need the keyboard like I did on my TP2. Had all the known problems, battery drain, weak signal, upload cap, GPS, facebook contact pictures blurry, and plenty of network connection issues.

Took it back to Best Buy, and am now sporting a brand new EVO w/ 2.2. Best decision I've ever made on a cell phone. This thing is great. Feel and works so much better. I just didn't have faith that Samsung would fix all the issues.
[EVO 4G General] dboogie2288:
I'm really surprised at how HTC is smacking the market with their awesome phones. Samsung used to be a leader, along with sanyo, but nowadays I wouldnt touch them. That said, I did have a moment, loved it, with a few exceptions. Like EVDO Rev 1, and a crapaliscious processor- that said it was a great introduction to the android market for a phone with a physical keyboard.

Then samsung released the intercept....a moment in a smaller, prettier package. Another EVDO rev 1 phone, so data speeds were horrible. Toss in similar problems as the moment, and a lower res display, I think people just ignored it.

Now comes the epic, a long awaited phone, and they dropped the ball big time. I would understand if they were just coming to market too early, but it doesnt seem the case here. I'm sticking with HTC.

what screen size? the 5" archos tablets are pretty cheap.

One thing you should know. Unless the tablet can make calls, it will not have the android market on it. Its a google policy (and makes sense to an extent). I am sure as tablets become a more viable form of electronics google will change this though.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilco:
First you will have to remove all references to the failed usb connection:

as Administrator,go to My Computer <Right Click> Properties <Left Click>

select tab "Advanced"

Click Environment variables

Create following Environment variables in the system section:

DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS

and assign it a value of 1

DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES

and assign it a value of 1

Click OK twice

Next: go to My Computer <right-click> Manage <Left-click>

go to device manager.

select view > show hidden devices,

then:

Remove all devices with a questionmark

Remove all devices which are greyed out and which you can relate to your mobile

Once you have done this, reboot for certainty.

Try again, making sure to insert USB connector first in your Phone, afterwards in a fast, secure way in your PC. Do not "hesitate" while connecting USB connector. (sometimes slow/not complete insertion may cause this problem too)
