[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duncan_donut:
Make a gold card and flash the RUU file which matches your phone (it's important to know is it AMOLED or SLCD screen, drivers are different), you could choose 2.1 or 2.2, branded or unbranded as far as I know, there is a leaked o2 branded 2.2 available.

I recently reflashed mine to unbranded 2.2, it was branded o2 before that. Really I am thinking myself of binning it and going to opendesire myself.

It is really easy to make a gold card and reflash. My only problem was I didn't have a windows PC for the actual flashing the rom part. The gold card is easy to make in linux but the flashing part won't work even running windows in a virtual machine. Lucky for me I got an old laptop to fix for someone that had XP on so I just used that.

It only takes a few minutes, my only gripe is I lost all my contacts and texts, despite 2.1 having a backup option and the backup files are there, I can't restore them.

You can use the existing microSD for the gold card, I didn't even erase it, just write the code to boot sector of the card, everything else stays the same so you don't lose anything from the card.

HTH
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrol:
can anyone help me out? i rooted my desire with unrEVOked 3 (no goldcard needed) would i still need a goldcard to unroot my Desire with the RUU?

also, which RUU should i use to get back to Froyo T Mobile official?

i've looked all last night and tonight for answers for these questions,

any help would be great, thanks :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
If you look in the development forums there is a list of RUUs. Insert your goldcard and run the ruu relevant to your phone. Op does your desire have an Orange logo on the back?

Hello guys! I'm currently using Handcent but I just don't like how the default Messaging app is always on. Is it possible to remove the default since I have Handcent or it is needed for Handcent to work? Handcent is not a standalone messaging app?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntredgo:
If your talking about the notification on the status bar, you can turn the stock messaging app's notifications off by pressing menu in the app>settings>scroll down to notification settings and uncheck the first option.

If you want to uninstall the stock completely, you would have to do it through titanium backup.

Hope that helps!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xr4v3nx:
Uhm, I'm not bothered by the double notifications but the stock messaging app. Without that, would I still be able to use the sms feature only using Handcent? Or is it dependent on the stock?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshw0000:
Why not make a nandroid and play with it? You can remove it with root explorer but the best way to do it would be to use adb commands while booted into recovery. More than likely, if you remove it with an app like root explorer or titanium, the app will be running at the time of removal and screw things up.

If you remove the app and something is screwed up, just restore the nandroid.

I'd be interested to know if things still work properly as i use handcent too.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xr4v3nx:
Oh, good idea! I'll try it but can you teach me how to use adb to remove it? :confused: I have adb working, I just need the commands xD
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huntredgo:
Oh ok, that makes htc sense.

The best and easiest way to do that from your phone would be to download titanium backup off the market, which can uninstall stock apps like the messenger.

Just tried it, still recieving texts from handcent only, but you might still want to do a nand just in case.

OK so I've been running many version and builds of android since day one on my tmous hd2. At first it was with the stock 16gb sdcard, (till it got corrupted, LOL) so then I switch to a 2gb I had around. I have only formatted this 2gb card once in the begging and never again.many times I have deleted the android folder and many times I has switch to new builds ( I think I try everyones.latest I been using n very stable JDMS 1.3) n haven't had any issues. Like freezing or SOD. Now two days ago I help my friend with his and his wife's tmous hd2 with the 16gb card. So I did a fresh format fat32 then flash the same rom (ozDroid) and radio I been using for months. It results they are getting freezes and occasionally SOD. So for a test I took my wife's tmous hd2 with 16gb card did the hole setup an guess what the freezing and SOD is the more often..when I don't get any with my sdcard 2gb. Could there be an issue with high capacity cards. And could that be the reason why many tmous have the more problems with freezes and SOD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prking07:
I use stock 16gb and dont have those issues.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] evilclark:
this is common knowledge in the IT field. the larger the card, the more slowly it will write and access small files, such as the files needed to run android. take 100 small text files and copy them to a 256 thumb drive, and an 8 gb thumb drive. you can copy them all to the 256mb drive, and delete them all again, before the are all copied to the 8gb thumb drive. the 8 gb drive, will work much faster copying an .avi, or large file than the 256, but it sucks at lots of small files.

but it's good that you're posting your exp here. many people would not know this otherwise, and may stop experimenting with android due to frustration, when all they need is a $10 2gb card from walmart.

another couple tips when dealing with solidstate memory. just like a harddrive, files can become fragmented if you have multiple tasks or file transfers going at the same time. to avoid this, make sure each is done before starting another set of files. next, do not defrag solid state drives. they only have a limited amount of times they can read and write to each sector, and defragging, and excessive copying/deleting, wears down the material, and kills sectors of the drive. and last but not least, watch your battery. just as it says not to attempt an install with less than 50% battery, don't run your phone down to a dead battery when possible. because your booting of the microsd, it's constantly being accessed by read and write functions, and if the battery dies before it finishes writing, you get corrupted files, and you'll have to do your install all over.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anap40:
I haven't noticed any difference between a Class 2 2gb, Class 2 16gb, or a Class 4 8gb - they all run about the same with not noticeable differences in boot time, smoothness, or SODs, even though the class 4 is 2x as fast.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qingcai:
hi guys,

before you post any comment, you can grab a none SDHC card, and do a comparison.

if you have benchmark software, please look at the "access time", the None-SDHC card always faster than the SDHC card. not the speed, but the access time.

after I change to 2GB SD Card, I never meeting any sleep, lag program with any version of roms.

if you don't have none-SDHC card, please do not make any conclusion.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Showtime7:
I can confirm, going from 16gb to 8gb, I've had far less issues with the 8gb card using the same setup. 0 SODs when I'd get them daily with the 16gb card. May or may not have anything or everything to do with it, but I'm sticking with the 8gb card. lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] msoler8785:
My experience has been that performance has been about the same whether using a 2 GB SD card or a 16 GB SDHC. However, it seems that my 16 GB card was slower at one point because I had an excessive number of individual files on it. It's a double edge sword because you have all that capacity but the more you use it the slower it seems to run.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] prince13:
I had this issue aswell but I updated my radio to 2.12.xx.xx. and since then I have not seen any performance issue due to the SD card size.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] apallohadas:
That's very presumptuous of you.

I fixed all of my lag and screen freeze problems with a combination of setCPU settings, ADW launcher settings, and updating my radio rom.

Before I finished doing all of that this morning, I'd get a freeze from wake fairly often. Since then, not a single freeze, and trust me, I've been trying to get it to freeze up.

Believe what you will my friend, but punishing yourself with a 2GB card just seems silly when people are outright telling you that the size isn't the problem.

Good luck either way!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nieves53:
Yes ur are right with the new builds and using setting and programs like setcpu or even auto killers will help eliminate this problems. But I I said in the first post was that high capacity cards tend to give u more problems, using my 2gb (I think all the way to 6gb is non high capacity) I have no need for such adjustments to whatever build I use..u can read post 2, is very well explain there.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhester1967:
My captivate is always fluctuating between the edge and 3g network. My iPhone never had these fluctuating issues like this phone and ive tested both in the same area's. Is there an explanation or possible fix to have a stronger signal while on AT&T's 3g network?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
Short answer, no.

If before you had a solid 3G connection in the area you're having trouble with now, then chances are it will return. Data connections are typically like that and although it may have something to do with the Captivate itself, there's nothing you can do there either. As far as I know, there haven't been any major connection issues with the Captivate. Nothing like Antennagate (The iPhone 4 hassle), at least. AT&T will release updated software and radios in the future, these typically come with better connections. Best recommendation I can give you would be to buy a Wi-Fi router, if you can.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhester1967:
Thanks for the info I already talked to AT&T and they said it should be replaced. So i contacted Amazon wireless, who i upgraded through and they are sending out a new one. I hope this fixes the issue cause this phone is sweet and setting everything up all over again always sucks. Thanks again

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChancellor:
I've had my phone for just over a month and I've only gone as far as rooting and flashing through Kies. I was one of the unlucky ones to have my 3BR disabled, and I managed to get that back through editing the registry of Kies. This is all I've managed to do with my phone, as I'm too scared to do anything else.

I'd like to use this thread as a guide of what we, as Bell Galaxy users, can do with our phones when it comes to flashing firmwares. Obviously we have to be selective of which ones we use.

My first question would be... Has any Bell Galaxy users flashed other firmwares besides GJ9 and JH2 with good results? When I say good results, I mean no further tweaking of the phone to get it to work the way it should. If you have flashed other firmwares, what did you find was the most stable?

EDIT: Holy crap guys... I'm so sorry. There's already a thread that's damn near identical to this one and I didn't spot it. Thank goodness I double-checked. Mods have my permission to delete this one if they'd like. I'm going to post a link to the other thread, which may help seeing how I think this thread title is a little more fitting.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
To recover you password for you Gmail account, you should send a request for one.

HERE

As far as sending ringtones as MMS, that's easy.

1. Create a new message to send to a friend.

2. Press the Menu key on your phone while in the message and choose "Attach"

3. Your Attachments list will appear, choose "Audio"

4. Your SD card directory will appear. All you need to do is browse to the folder you're keeping the ringtone you want to send and select it.

There's nothing you can do about speeding up your connection, other than switching to Wi-Fi if you have that access. I hope that all helps.
