170+ apps = LOTS OF DALVIK CACHE. My 120ish is 110m.. Of course it depends on the app, but I'd say you're seeing all dalvik cache. If you really need more internal storage, you'll have to uninstall some apps or move dalvik to SD. (NOT /cache)
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
Yeap, i can confirm dat its all dalvik cache...so, should i move the dalvik to sd? Why? N why not cache?

Update:

Ive tried putting dalvik into sd but i had a system process error...what up? Luckily i did a nandroid before i moved it
[Nexus One General] nazrin313:
Another update

Tried dc to cache - everything loaded just fine but cannot install apps from market

Tried dc to sd - system error n fc's everything

Anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadjethead:
Heard lots about OCLF 2.1.2 speeding up the Samsung Galaxy S (I9000), so I accessed the install package via AppBrain.

Downloaded - no problem

Installed fix app - no problem

Rooted phone with inbuilt facility - No problem

Installed EXT2 files to SD card - No problem

Ran OCLF fix next. Default partition size was about 850meg. Moved sizing slider to maximum partition size (approx 1.2Gig?) and then started "conversion". All seemed to be progressing normally and had seemed to have finished. The phone indicated it would reboot to "check" (I can't remember actual text), and that is where it seems to have become "stuck". I was hoping that there was some reformatting going on, and that as I had increased the size of the partition, this would take some time. Not sure if 6 hours is normal though

I can still do a 3-button reboot and get to the android sytem recovery screen <2e> where I have 4 options available:

reboot

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

I'm not sure if I should perform a factory reset, especially as I don't wish to wipe my phone contact on the phone (not stored to SIM), plus I'm not sure it will boot again after

Can anyone help?
[TG01 General] bongo3:
i would like to turn off devices on my TG01 off to save power:

i use my TG01 just as a pocket pc, i.e. i have no sim card inserted. nevertheless, battery is down at 40% after 1 day of standby, even when in flight mode.

as i heard that flight mode does not really work on the TG01, i would like to selectively turn off devices like phone (gsm, 3g), wlan, bluetooth, motion sensor (all the things i don't need), while keeping the gps still working.

is there a rom version or a tool that allows me to really turn off devices separately?

or is there a rom version, specially made for people just using the TG01 as a ppc?

so far, i always have to keep bluetooth running, as the gps does not seem to work as soon as i turn bluetooth off (no idea why it is like that). maybe it's bluetooth that drains so much power...

i actually run the wm6.5.5 v5 rom from novembre5

or is there anything else i can do to save power?

btw:

i tried to measure the current, the device draws from the battery, to find a setting that is the most power saving. unfortunately, all battery meter tools i tried are not able to show actual current. is there a tool that supports the TG01?

please help!
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
Some tips...

Use wireless manager to turn off/on phone, bluetooth and/or wi-fi separately.

In settings/motion sensor settings disable autoscreen orientation, in settings/sleep mode indicator tick off, in settings/power saving settings un-tick automatic brightness and choose a brightness level according to your needs and so on...
[TG01 General] bongo3:
Does not really help!

...and with all those things disabled, the battery is down at about 40% after 1 day in stand-by (when the TG01 has not been used for 1 day)!

so i think there's still something drawing a lot of power!

to compare:

my hp ipaq 214 ppc, running wm6 too, is down at 40% after being in stand-by for 2 weeks, i.e. it's power consumption within 2 weeks is about the same as the TG01's power consumption within 1 day, when in stand-by...and the ipaq is much older than the TG01!

so it seem's obvious that the TG01 just tells to have everything turned off, while still having things running...
[TG01 General] Pere:
Very interesting...

Why don't you keep this thread opened in TG01 General , for instance? I'm afraid that your question it's not related with ROM development...(wrong subforum)

Best Regards
[TG01 General] bongo3:
i thought there might eventually be a rom version with the PHONE FUNCTIONALTY DISABLED, or with tighter hardware/power control!

or maybe, there is a rom version OPTIMIZED FOR LOW-POWER!

that's why i placed the thread here.

if there is no way to get help in the rom section, this thread can be moved to general, but i have no idea how to do this.

thanx!
[TG01 General] Mangasora:
I am also enjoyed my TG01 without a sim card and then be surprised that it holds several days without being charged. So if your battery falls on a day not to use it, then the battery has a reduced capacity. Try several cycles - full charge, use it while off and only then put it to charge. Maybe this will help you.
[TG01 General] bongo3:
hm 'holds several days without being charged' sounds good :)

so how are your settings for bluetooth, wlan and phone?

btw: i bought another battery because i first thought that it is a battery problem - but now it's the same with both of them.

i also turned the phone on once (but without a sim card), and it looked like the battery discharge was about the same as in flight mode.

i read somewhere, that because of a bug, the TG01 turns power of the phone chip on, when the device is set to flight mode, and therefore bluetoot or wlan has to be turned on to really turn off the phone (and save power).

on the other hand, i would like to use the gps, but the gps does not work when the unit is configured to flight mode.

so what is the ideal configuration for reducing power consumption?

thanx!
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
I believe you don't need a 1ghz processor device if you compare it with a 624mhz.

For tg01 you can even limit cpu speed for better power consumption in power saving settings...
[TG01 General] bongo3:
i think when in stand-by, the TG01 cpu does not clock at 1ghz.

i compare stand-by power consumption, i.e. the cpu has almost nothing to do then.
[TG01 General] bib*oops:
It's obvious you're comparing a ferrari idling with a (new)volkswagen beetle ...

...both standing in the garage!

Idling means with engine on, even in the garage!

Hi all

I have bit the bullet and purchased a T Mobile HTC HD2. Now I had this unlocked and use a O2 payand go sim. The phone is great as my previous phone was a XDA 2i. My problem is the settings on the phone. The Connection setup operator is T-Mobile and I cant change it to O2 as in the drop down box I only have T-Mobile to choose from. anyone know how to add a Operator? :rolleyes:

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squirreleater:
As it says in the title.

I have an orange (uk) branded SGS,( Three button recovery disabled) I'd rooted it and was running a rom but it was buggy, so I dragged new version to the sd card, wipe etc and on startup clockwork recovery won't boot/load and if I just try to start the phone normally it gets stuck in a FC loop on startup, meaning I cannot do anything with the phone.

I can boot into recovery via usb to recovery Utils but wiping does nothing and flashing a zip (no options what) tried to install clockwork mod, but it just hangs...

I'm stuck, there are roms etc on the sd to flash, but I cannot get to them...

Tried via Kies but it doesn't see the phone...

Help please....

Cheers.

haha I just posted exactly the same message. Seems we are stuck in the same boat buddy
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andypa1:
Hey mate. got a solution for you.

First go to the development section of the i9000. Download a rom that takes your fancy (I know have 2.2 froyo!) Then boot your phone into download mode. (Turn on while holding power button, volume button down and centre button.

It should now have the android fella with a shovel.

On your PC open up odin, (should be in the pack of the rom you d'lded).

Fill in all the files in Odin.

Click go and flash the new firmware, jobs a good un!

Im at work at the moment but if you get stuck let me know and i'll reply to the thread tonight.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squirreleater:
I don't have a three button mode, Orange disabled it.....

I don't actually know what Odin is? I have Kies on the pc, but always used rom manager after dragging roms to the sd card.

Looking like I ring the Orange business support and cry wolf.... :rolleyes:

Edit, downloading odin now....
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dude4:
ive been running myns warm donut on my sd card and its been overall good there have been minor issues with some programs requiring a newer version of android but nothing major

anyway, its been running really slow lately and ive been thinking of reformatting and and starting fresh

1st i wonder is there any way to backup my texts,contacts,call logs etc.?

also since i will most likely be reinstalling anyway

is it worth it to move to a froyo or a eclair build overall? are there any features they dont have that myns warm donut had? and what about speed?

and finally if i should update to a eclair or froyo whats the best build?

thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
i would recommend using froyo, you could use dzo, incubus or kyle's build and you could use atools to customise the speed. the dev's still developing on this but i think it is worth to try.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
If you think things are slow, go to nand. It's awesome.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mikurej95:
you can go to your contacts, press the menu button (power) and then click import/export and then choose export to sd card for the contacts. if you have a data plan, you can skip that and just sync with a google acount

the directions that i gave you comes from my experience with eclair and froyo.

i haven't used any other build.

i have used nand and the sd card method, and i prefer the nand method WAAAYYYY more. (faster, stable, and more stuff i can't think of)

you can use a third party app for the texts, call log, etc. i can't really recommend one because i haven't used one.

a quick google search will do

good luck ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] travikk:
Hello guys!

I've been running on a little bit of a problem lately. When I plug in HTC 3in1 adapter to my topaz the device makes calls automatically just by itself. I don't know what caused this, I woke up in the morning plugged in the adapter and I spot the problem, when I was listening to music and my friend started talking to me.

It calls the first person on a history list.

I was using EnergyROM from 28sep so I thought it was it's fault but no, I switched to 29oct one and the thing keeps happening to me all over again.

Any thoughts on the topic? Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Assuming you hard reset after flashing the ROMs, this sounds like a hardware issue (stuck call button).

You could try installing Tarkims Topaz keyboard remappper and set the call button to a different function to see if it activates that function.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] travikk:
Aaa you say that, but it onnly happens when I plug in the adapter...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] fighter7139:
Maybe there is a problem with headset's PTT button.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] travikk:
But my headphones does not have/support PTT button; they are normal sennheiser headphones.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Have you tried a different adaptor?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] travikk:
No I haven't
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] shazaani:
Different Adapter

I had the same problem and it was caused by the adapter. Replacing the adapter fixed it for me.

[HD2 General] Vertuas:
Hi All,

I have a strange problem going on with my HD2. I wondered if anyone could suggest a solution.

When i turned the phone on yesterday, I notice that the colours on the screen didn't look right.

The screen looks as if its is on a lower colour depth mode, like when you put a pc into 256 color display mode.

I have turned off the phone and removed the battery but that has made no difference.

As far as i am aware, there are no colour depth settings, on the phone software.

Has anyone seem this before?

Thanks
[HD2 General] Krle011:
Same problem here..
[HD2 General] Vertuas:
I just found the other thread about this issue, posted about the same time as mine.

It was suggested that the fix is to install the ROM upgrade from HTC. However I cannot do this as I have the lastest stock ROM and I have this issue.

I guess that as the phone is not yet a year old, and thus covered by manufactures 1 year warrenty, i can just sent it back to HTC and get a replacement.
[HD2 General] tfouto:
Do a hard-reset. If the problem persists, then send it to repair to HTC. Maybe HTC starts doing better LCD's when they see lots of people returning their defective LCD screens.
[HD2 General] Vertuas:
Thanks

I just hard reset it.....the issue persists.

[HD2 General] Vertuas:
Update for you all :

I just called HTC, my phone has been repaired in warrenty.

They have replaced the main board and the screen.

It should be getting shipped back today/tomorrow for delivery early next week :)
[HD2 General] Vertuas:
Yeah i here you on that one, i got an LG P100. Cost me 10 pounds from the t-mobile shop. All it does is text message and calls. In some ways it quite liberating that i can't sit and read my emails or facebook on my phone. I can spend the time doing other things instead. lol

I have only added people to contacts after they have send an text to me, or called me. If i need other numbers i'd have to get them out of outlook on the PC :(
[HD2 General] Vertuas:
YAY!!! Phone came back today.

It not my old one repaired, they have shipped a new phone, just with my battery and back panel. :o)

T-Mobile announced more cities now with HSPA+ during the myTouch release. Here's the list of cities:

With its latest expansion, T-Mobile’s HSPA+ footprint now includes Biloxi and Gulfport, Miss.; Denver, Colo.; Huntsville, Ala.; Knoxville, Tenn.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Norfolk, Va.; Omaha, Neb.; Phoenix and Tucson, Ariz.; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento, Calif.; and West Palm Beach, Fla. T-Mobile expects to reach 100 major metropolitan areas and 200 million people in 2010.

Source: Tmonews.

Personally, the fact that San Jose is getting is best news ever as I get my phone tomorrow. Hopefully T-Mo expands more, bringing the love to more people around this part of town. Chicago gets all the love all the time! :p

We deserve it more than any other city in the state :P
[G2 and Desire Z General] chrimage:
Yes, Huntsville is the place to be in AL.

Too bad I live just outside of Huntsville where I only get edge. I look forward to having faster podcast downloads on the way to work though, once we get HSPA+.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Definitely. Awesome city although I was admittedly hesitant to move to the hick-state initially. Great place to be in the tech business. Hopefully Google brings that lovely fiber here...

I actually am in Hazel Green so only get edge and 3G in certain parts, but most of my phone-using day is in Huntsville area. 3G leaked from Huntsville out to Hazel Green rather quickly and I hope it does the same with HSPA+... Actually, the first day I saw 3G symbol ever was within Hazel Green limits on my way to work with my new G1 one day...
[G2 and Desire Z General] logicsans:
It was the same post as their myTouch HD launch. TMo announced it, see if you can confirm it by reading a press release perhaps.

It's not updated at TMo's official website, but it should be here pretty soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ellessidil:
Couldnt agree more with the fiber comment, this town(Huntsville) could definitely use it, especially considering the massive growth its experiencing right now.

Ive noticed the HSPA+ for about a week now, I used to get intermittant HSPA connections on my myTouch slide a few weeks back, but nothing solid, however in the last week I had nothing but HSPA connection no matter where I was at, including the freakin psuedo-bunker I work in, which I had problems even getting Edge in before.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Wow, a lot of people here from the area.

Could definitely use the fiber boost. It's an extremely tech/research-oriented city. I understand the places where the work is being done already have commercial connections, but... just give me the fiber!

If you don't already know, we have the same icon for 3G/HSPA/HSPA+ (the 'H') so it will be hard to tell what network you're really on.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blueoval24:

[G2 and Desire Z General] kcm117:
Anyone Else from South FL Here?

Anyone else from South FL (Tri-County Area (Palm beach.Broward/Miami Dade))?

If Miami, Ft lauderdale and West Palm are getting HSPA+, does that mean the less-major cities between them are as well?

Like Deerfield, Boca, Delray, Pompano, etc since they are between these three cities

[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Norfolk in the house! I went to the Tmobile store on the 30th, when I received my phone, and the reps were surprised at two things:

I had the phone before them and the fact that the H was showing up in my device.

They concluded that the towers were upgraded, but they were just waiting to "flip the switch".
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Unfortunately, with the G2, it shows "H" for 3G/HSPDA/HSPA+/etc... The only data network that gets a different icon is G for GPRS or E for EDGE. Everything else gets an H, so AFAIK the only true way to know what type network you're using is to do a speed test.

Roms based on froyo or gingerbread?

The discussion in the thread "30/Jun r1 (JFB) - MoDaCo Custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy S with Online Kitchen" is a bit confusing so I thought it best to make it a new topic to get it straight.

Will it be possible to make roms based on froyo, gingerbread or any other coming android version, before Samsung makes an update? As I understand psychoace it will be ”near impossible to get roms from other sources like Sense roms or Froyo”. Others are not so sure.

This is important as Samsung is known for its lack of interest in OS updates. Who knows if they will take gingerbread to GS? If they won't can it be done by the really smart guys?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassan:
I don't think even HTC will update there top line to V3 (ginger bread). Froyo is coming any way to GS in near future. Now ginger bread should be possible too as GS is power full enough to run. When? we should wait and see. Nexus just got updated to 2.2.

Will see how things go in future.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimatrix:
Samsung has released there kernel sources and there software sources. I haven't had a chance to look in to it deeply but if it has the code of the drivers etc.. it should be possible to merge (with some work obviously) sources and to compile froyo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
But don't those drivers only work with 2.1 and just simply won't with any version higher unless samsung releases new source and drivers for 2.2 and then 3.0. So if say samsung never releases anything any source/drivers that work with 3.0 then you would be out of luck to actually get everything to work.
