[General Questions and Answers] donisewell:
I have tried to flash the Cyanogen 6 rom for the Sprint Hero a few times and it hasn't worked. I think I may be missing something simple so maybe you guys could help. I've gotten either of the following two results after flashing: A never-ending boot loop OR it just sits on the HTC boot image and never finishes booting. I've left it for HOURS before with no results.

My setup:

*Sprint Hero

*Rooted with Androot

*Stock ROM (unfortunately)

*ClockworkMod recovery image

When I try to flash the image I have both the Cyanogen .zip and the Gapps .zip on the root of the SD and use the ClockworkMod recovery to "install from .zip" first the Cyanogen .zip and then the Gapps. Do I need a new kernel as well? Any other suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] xopher79:
I am having the same problem with my Hero. I downloaded the Vanilla CM6 build from another thread on this forum (can't post external link to it, don't know how to post internal link yet) and installed using Clockworkmod. It appears to install successfully, but then I just get stuck with the Cyanogen boot screen looping. The animation plays for several seconds (sometimes hitching slightly as if background processing is happening), then eventually freezes for a couple of seconds, then starts over. This happens indefinitely.

Are additional steps required beyond simply installing the ROM via Clockworkmod?
[General Questions and Answers] xopher79:
Nevermind. I had not chosen to wipe when installing Cyanogen from within ROM Manager. I did that this time and now it is booting successfully.
[Streak 5 General] deadb0y:
This has been covered before in the dell streak forum (which I've been reading for days now) but the thread died a death!

I've tried wiggling the phone around when its on my ear, wire head set, sennheiser headphones. I haven't tried a BT headset because I don't have one and I don't intend to either! It always sounds like the other end has a towel wrapped round their face while their talking to me...

They (O2) have sent me another one and that does it too... A few days back I was talking to a guy on orange and I have a few moments of perfect clarity so Occam's Razor would say "Loose wire :)"!!!

My query is this:

Is there a setting I missing, maybe in engineering mode or something. Does anyone know if the phone has some kind of audio muting/limitation software on it???

To be honest, I'm using my old Moto V3 at the moment because the dell sounds so very bad!

Edit: Just tried a BT headset, sounded clearer but so quiet I could hardly hear it :(
[Streak 5 General] jkim5708:
I have a US streak...currently in UK on buisness. I have been jumping between O2, Orange, and 3-Uk networks. I can honestly say that the streak in terms of call quality has been one of the best mobile phones Ive owned. I have not tried earpiece or bt Headset, but volume 0utput at least with the earphone jack is very low.

Running Eclair 2.1 build6941....Call quality State side is crystal clear as well on ATT
[Streak 5 General] bluefrog:
I get crystal clear call quality on the receive end, but have had to adapt to holding the mic away from my mouth a bit. It was breaking up quite badly according to my mate who was on the other end of the call (happened a few times). I accidentally moved the mic a few inches further from my mouth and it all went clear apparently! So is the gain set too high on the built in mic?

On bluetooth in my car its clear on Rx AND Tx but that's using a separate mic. The main issue there is that the Rx volume is much too low :mad:

Best call quality i've had in a phone so far tho :)
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
I've had no issues with call quality, always been crystal clear stateside on ATT.

Only issue i have is that you have to find a sweet spot for the earpiece to direct the sound into your ear, move it a little off and sound is too low. wierd but gotten used to it and know how to hold it up to my ear better then when i first got it

also i only tried one nokia BT headset and the sound was very low! I have 3 or 4 headsets laying around but haven't tested them out yet.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
If your download fully cancels in the middle, do not resume the download. When you try to resume - the phone will think you want to resume installation [it thinks the download is complete] and will update the phone with the partial firmware download.

For those phones that were bricked, that is what was said happened to them - myself included.

Now, why would the update not realize the firmware isn't complete and just abort the update is beyond me. Many of us ended up with paperweights from that. Had to go to AT&T to replace the phone last night.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Kinda like when you press check for update and it starts downloading something. No, mf, I just said to check, not download arbitrary files from at&t servers. That's what happened to me.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamUpNorth:
Hey Gang.

Last night I noticed that my phone didn't have full signal (4 bars) in my house. This is the first time since I've had the phone.

After playing with it for a while I noticed that if change from 3G to Edge then my signal strength goes from 1-2 bars (-110db) back up to 4 bars (-73 db).

I'm not sure if that's normal behavior. I've also noticed the the phone gets hotter than normal when transferring data via 3G and the battery drains like crazy (lost 50% charge over 2 hours of testing this morning).

I called my provider (Rogers - I'm just north of Toronto) this morning and they say that the one tower in my area seems to be working fine.

I did a factory reset using SEUS but still have the same problem.

Any ideas? I thought I'd try to reseat the antenna but I can't find the damn thing.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockjock007:
I am north of toronto Newmarket 4 bars -81db and 4 bars -87db ( 3g )

pm me and I can give ya a few tips hopefully to sort it out.

Post any tips here please as it may help others.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rockjock007:
Of course after all we are all here to help yeah?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamUpNorth:
So after driving around and visiting the local Rogers shop, it appears to be a tower issue. Looks like the phone was working fine in the store and in town. I called tech support and they're sending someone out to the tower near my house. (<1 km or 1.6mi from my house). There was a power outage yesterday so that my have caused a problem. I'll post an update in a few days after Rogers checks the tower out. I'm hoping it's that. I'm thinking the extra heat may have been from the phone cracking up the antenna to try to connect. I remember someone say that in low signal areas their batteries drain fast.
[Droid Incredible General] techie_babel:
What are your observations, settings, and thoughts about tweaking CM6's light sensor levels?

(Settings > CyanogenMod settings > User interface > Automatic backlight > Edit other levels...)

Observations...

I've noticed that the sensor seems to only pick up light levels only at specific intervals (raw values, not filtered)... for me that was 160 (never went lower), 640, 1280, 2600, and 10240.

When it comes to lowest level the sensor reads it isn't really that low. I can be sitting at my lightly lit room or in complete darkness and 160 is the reading I get. Also, the highest level the sensor reads isn't really that high. I can be standing outside on an overcast day or in full sunlight and 10240 is what I get.

Thoughts...

Basically, given the observed intervals above, I have been trying to find a reasonable screen brightness at each level, where the screen is bright and doesn't appear washed out, but isn't unnecessarily bright either.

What is the lowest screen brightness that looks descent when the light sensor reads 160, 640, 1280, etc?

Where I'm at...

upto 160 - 35

upto 640 - 50

upto 1280 - 75

upto 2600 - 100

upto 10240 - 125

I really would like to tweak the higher levels, but I'm having a more difficult time finding lighting that is in those ranges. I also setup the power control widget to toggle the brightness between Auto>Dim>75%>100% to cover the lower light levels not picked up (below 160) and the higher levels not picked up (above 10240).

Observations? Settings? Thoughts?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
So, what is the lock button suppose to do in camera mode? It would make sense for it to prevent you from accidentally pressing one of the touch-sensitive buttons, but it also prevents you from touching the screen and taking a snapshot. I can see it being useful for camcorder mode but that feature isnt used as much as the camera.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitalik228:
Yea I know its useless for taking pictures. But I do actually use for a camcorder, I went to puyallup fair and went on a ride and was taking a video of my friend and to prevent from exidentaly stopping the recording I just lock the screen...:-)...there are a couple of things that are useless on the vibrant like it will not let you listens music/view videos, if your battery is below 15%... Just pisses Me off.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidmonkey:
Oh, that pisses me off to!! I could shoot the guy who signed off on that "feature". So many times I wanted to take a picture but it wouldnt let me because of low battery. ITS MY PHONE, let ME be the one who decides how to drain what battery I have left.

[Captivate General] CougarBroker:
unplugged 2 hours, wifi on, gps on, auto update on, facebook, played friut ninja for about 20 minutes, 1 game of cribbage, and been getting 4-5 email per hour, battery at 86%, before I would have been at 60% with that much use.

Anyone else seen battery life increases?
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
This. It's noon and I'm still at 80%. I used to have to set my phone to flight mode all day at work just to make it through the day. Now I can leave 3G on all day and not worry about it. That's the best part of the update in my opinion.
[Captivate General] WD333:
I was about to post this also. Yes, I have noticed a dramatic increase in battery life since I've updated. Now granted, it's been less than 24 hours but it is noticeable. I'll see how it goes over the next few days. But I agree, I am very happy with the update so far.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Which ROM we're you guys running before? FJ6 (stock)? A lot of users noticed better battery life after updating to some of the leaked builds (JH2 onwards)

[Captivate General] noidd:
I actually have worse battery life since updating. Have background sync off,GPS off,push off and lost 30% from full charge in 2 hours
[Captivate General] r_3:

[Captivate General] iceman4357:
4h 45min since unplug.

Email push multiple times an hour, text messages, light internet use, light market use and 35 minutes of guns'n'glory. I am at 71%
[Captivate General] ukulele_ninja:
Glad someone else noticed this

I'm a victim of the partial update but my battery drain has been nearly half! I've actually left live wallpapers on and can make it through the while day at the rate I'm going
[Captivate General] Ikonomi:
6 hours 53 minutes since unplug and I'm at 23% battery. This is roughly on track with previous battery depletion, but today I've been doing heavier internet and Facebook use than usual. I think that, previous to this update, I would have had to charge by now. This is with background data and sync on, over wifi, with a combination of Google Listen, Music Player, and Pandora use.

The telling point is that screen battery use is about 10-12% lower than usual for this type of usage, at 54%. I've seen it as high as 70% on days when I'm playing around with the phone a lot.

I'm ready to call this an improvement.
[Captivate General] WD333:
My phone was at about 75% at around 8:00PM last night. It's currently 2:42PM now and it's only down to 25%. Granted, it was in sleep mode from around 12:30AM to about 7:00AM. But I did use it moderately last night and throughout the day today. So the battery performance has definitely improved for mine (stock with yesterday's update).
[Captivate General] ageros:
For those who have seen an improvement:

- Did you use a task killer pre-update?

- Are you using one now?
[Captivate General] WD333:
I was not using a task killer either pre- or post-update.
[Captivate General] travisryans:
Same here... I also let the phone drain to the point of where it shut off, charged and lost 30% in 4 hours!
[Captivate General] CougarBroker:
Yes

yes pre and post, I am using auto kill
[Captivate General] zevipa:
if i do this update do i lose my root?
[Captivate General] J M L:
Unfortunately my battery life has been greatly decreased by the update. My phone is rooted, but the update installed without any trouble on the first try. Before the update the phone was fine between 9am and 1-2am without charging it at all. That's being on wifi most of the time, and maybe a bit of talking, e-mail, and rss reading. Once asleep I'd let it charge overnight. Typically Display used the most battery, usually about 50%.

Since the update I find that I need to charge the phone in the middle of the day. The first full day of the update I used the audio player for several hours, so I thought maybe that was it, but I've done that before without a major impact on the battery. Today I didn't use the audio player at all, and after 8 hours the battery is down to 26%.

According to the power usage information the largest consumer is Voice calls, at 29%. That was 11m 46s of call time. Looking at Juiceplotter, for a typical day at work before the update my battery dropped about 2% in 2 hours, with the phone on wifi, and otherwise idle. Today the phone lost 6-9% in 2 hours of being idle.
[Captivate General] z28james:
The last time I charged my phone was yesterday morning. I just plugged it in an hour ago at 15%. Thats like, 35 hours on a charge after moderate usage. Not bad. Much better than my old G1 heh.
[Captivate General] waiting4gingerbread:
I'm at 45 hours, still at 29%. Light usage, probably ~12 hrs in flight mode, but music player on for about 5 hrs, 5 min voice call, a few texts, some facebook/web. Still very impressive!
[Captivate General] jsmith8858:
I've had slightly better battery life since the update.
[Captivate General] cellgeek:
Try this. It helped my phone a lot. All day (12 hours) and I end up at about 50% depending on phone usage. Mileage will vary depending on what (and how often) you run programs and updates in the background.

really well now the battery lasts much longer
[Captivate General] WD333:
So, after a few days of use after the update from last week, I continue to see battery life improvements. Some unscientific results:

Before the update:

Light usage - 19 to 20 hours

Moderate to Heavy usage - 12 to 15 hours

After the update:

Light usage - about 30 hours

Moderate to Heavy usage - about 20 to 24 hours
[Captivate General] othermark:
My battery seems to last way longer now, although the battery meter scale also seems to be 'optimistic' in it's scale for the amount of power left over (e.g. battery was at 75% but showed about 82-85% on the graphic).

It also seems to take a bit longer to charge, like they enabled a trickle charge default instead of a quick charge.

if you download the one that is in rom manager it is already deodexed and it is ota rooted. it works pretty good for me so far except it keeps trying to download a diff update and it always says that the download has failed. other than that works really well.
[Droid X Android Development] JinxtPhoto:
That's because the "Stock" 2.2 on ROM Manager is actually the original 2.3.9 leak and not the actual OTA 2.3.15 released on Sept 22nd.

The 2.3.15 deodexed "leak" through TBH is just that, the "leaked" 2.3.15, not the official OTA.

Be a little patient and wait for the real deal deodexed 2.3.15 OTA that is absolutely coming very very soon.
[Droid X Android Development] CaseV8:
+1. I used the TBH app and installed the deodexed R2D2 leak over the OTA 2.2, and it's working great!
[Droid X Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Maybe I'm missing something...

What is this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786541
[Droid X Android Development] JinxtPhoto:
That would be the pre-OTA leaked test build of 2.3.15 which has been deodexed and provided through TBH's app. There are reports that people are installing this over the official OTA without issue, but I'm personally waiting for a deodexed copy of the true OTA as I have found the OTA to be preferable to the leaked 2.3.15 I was running before going OTA (in every respect except for the stupid OTA forced screen lock BS).
[Droid X Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Can you quantify other differences? I've seen a lot speculation (me included) about which one is better, but no hard data.

I've using the leaked .15 and have had zero problems.
[Droid X Android Development] JinxtPhoto:
Truthfully I'm hard pressed to come up with any actual evidence in favor of one or the other. Based on my personal, subjective experience I've found the official OTA to be smoother, more responsive and more stable. When using the new universal rockplayer on all of the leaks there were typical formats (mainly xvid encodes) that wouldn't work correctly even though the older v7 rockplayer played them fine. With the OTA, the universal rockplayer no longer has these problems.

I've never really had any force close issues I can attribute to any of the updates (the only FC's I've run into throughout have been because of websites issues in Dolphin HD). I feel that many of the FC issues people experience may have more to do with the apps themselves than with the system.

I never had any market issues with any of the releases so I can't speak to that aspect (I've always used Beesley's build.prop mods including the current one for the OTA so I don't believe that to have an effect on anything).

My linpack and quadrant scores have been consistently higher with the OTA than with the 2.3.9, 2.3.13 or 2.3.15 leaks (though all that speaks to is a theoretical benchmark score and not much real value). That could be giving me a placebo effect, making me feel like it is more responsive just because there's some numbers evidence (even if the numbers are total BS, lol). I consistantly get mid 14's in linpack and mid 14's in quadrant where with the leaks I would really only hit high 13's in each (even with FlyX and Tranquility which I am currently not messing with until birdman tweets that things are set with the OTA and FlyX). I'm trying to stay safe since OTA updated the bootloader and has a different kernel than the leaks.

Has anyone else who have used both the leaks and official OTA actually kept track of anything they can speak about? I wish I would have kept notes throughout the process.
[Droid X Android Development] dekend:
well i was able to create my own 2.2 ota deodexed update.zip.. but as i began to modify it at 3am my lack of sleep caused me to take short cuts and make an incredibly stupid mistake. I ended up attempting to reflash my phone to test out my update.zip without thinking.. i completely forgot that there was no 2.2 sbf file and i used the 2.1 sbf file. So now i have a hefty brick in my hands, but already have a new one being sent to my house with next day shipping. I will test it out on the new phone and then post it here. It will be deodexed/png optimized/zip alligned/with blackbar modded notification bar.
