[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] unforgiven512:
Well, it didn't flash, but I did attempt it from the bootloader. What else shall I try?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Maybe I don't know how to flash an older build over...

Did you guys see this?

http://alpharev.shadowchild.nl/

I know its for s off but hardspl is something to look forward to. Can't we soft root, flash clockwork, mount system partition, and push what ever exploit needed to keep root forever? Can you get the phone into recovery through adb and stick but not go offline correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gariak:
Right, the leaked version is 0.76.2000. The version on my phone is 0.82.0000. Unless I'm missing something...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joackie27:
Did you just flashed whatever you've downloaded from Shipped-ROMs and then just renamed it to PC10IMG.zip? If that's what you did, then I think you need to extract the same file first inside that zip file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gariak:
The "Flash clockwork" step is where I think we're stopped. I haven't seen any indication that clockwork is updated to the newer 3e recovery version and I'm not ready to find out that it isn't the hard way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joackie27:
Based on the readings I have from the Evo thread, flashing the right zip file (PC10IMG.zip for the G2 or PC36IMG.zip for the Evo) in the bootloader is like running the RUU (Rom Update Utility) in Windows or flashing the Update.zip into recovery. My theory is that if you are able to flash the engineering build into the bootloader, you might be able to acquire root that will stick even if you reboot the phone. I may be wrong though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Well, I already tried lol! It just fail the sign...

I'm not expert when it comes to discovering exploits but I have flashed a bunch of phones in my life. I doubt we have anything to fear except flashing an update containing a hard spl that passes the signing process. Other than that it should fail before you brick, imo.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I've never heard of flashing an older bootloader without being heavily edited. I know it can be done but not sure how....

I'm gonna ask around for some help now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joackie27:
Ask toastcfh how he did it for the Evo.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] unforgiven512:
@joackie27 I did extract it...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techcraver:
Hello,

I'm using the latest Google Maps version on my Nexus One. I regularly get a message saying "Memory is Low, Traffic is disabled".

This is quite odd because I quickly go into my memory manager and see that in this case (and 2 others since Sunday), there are about 210 MB of RAM available.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curdog:
I'm seeing the same thing on my Evo running cyanogenmod 6.0. Sometimes it happens at all zoom levels, sometimes not all for several days. I can't pin it down. Restarting doesn't seem to help either, & I have the maps update from several days ago installed. I haven't tried flashing back to a Sense ROM, though.

I haven't seen much talk of the problem on google looking back several months.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -dlee:
Setting the VM heap size back to 24m fixed this for me on my N1 running CM6 final.

It's in Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Performance Settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curdog:
Thanks, dlee. I reduced the heap size from 32 & rebooted, but I still have the problem. Traffic is almost unusable. It will sometimes be ok for a minute, but once it happens the first time, it then happens again within seconds. I haven't tried flashing a nightly since I don't want to worry about backing up and redoing settings. I don't recall ever seeing this on a sense ROM, but I updated my google maps around the time I installed CM6. I'll try flashing back and checking again.

UPDATE: Same thing running Vaelpak sense ROM. Turning on the terrain layer seems to make it happen more quickly.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adnkhan:
hi brothers,

i have HTC touch diamond for around a year now, and all of a sudden its touch screen is behaving abnormal, when i touch "phone" it opens "programs" for me

my fone is HTC touch diamond orange one i want hardspl it but via active sync i have to press "yes" in my fone which is not possible since touchscreen doesn't response, i tried from the tri colored screen but it remains stuck at 0%

is there any way i can hardspl from storage card and how?

is my problem a hardware one?

thanks for quick replies
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Crocketeer:
I'm actually having this problem too, not really sure why. If I touch to the right of the icon it works, but sometimes even that fails me. I've been using the d-pad for most things, figure I'll try going back to stock HTC ROM and see if that works.

Probably won't be a while though, since I'm reformatting my pc, and since it's just a backup phone now :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] adnkhan:
by the way when i try to hardSPL from the tri color screen (it shows USB which means fone is connected) it remains at 0% for like 5-6 min and than gives error number 262
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
So I'm sitting here with a Samsung Cetus running Windows Phone 7 and beside the about menu in system settings, is there anyway to check for more specs.

I'm looking for CPU, RAM and so on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
There's a "more info" button on that page that shows the memory, etc. Don't think CPU or other chipset info is exposed anywhere.

And pics?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Woha, that's the only phone I think will have something else than Qualcrap, Cetus is the one I will buy.

Disassemble it now!! I want to know the specs :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
Sadly the more info button only shows model, Windows Phone 7 and storage. Total Storage: 7.39gb -- Ava. Storage: 6.88gb

And then revision of firmware, hardware, radio, bootloader and chip SOC.

Not sure I can share pics of it. It's not Cetus btw, my bad, had them mistaken. (CORRECTION: IT IS CETUS) It's the Samsung GT-i8700, not sure it has a name, unless they decide to call Samsung GT-i8700 Cetus.

Giz has pictures of it: http://gizmodo.com/5634058/leaked-shots-of-windows-phone-7+running-samsung-gt+i8700 The version I have is identical in looks, though a newer build in software.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Would probably require you to sketch up a quick application. Not sure if there's any APIs that allow you to read out any significant information.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
Yeah you are properly right, but I'm not even sure if I can install an app, if it's not on the market :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Should be able to hook it up to a pc and deploy one (might require you to be a dev in the marketplace though). That doesn't change the fact that we don't have an app to do the checking hah.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Hmm, using the GraphicsAdapter stuff from XNA you might be able to glean some information to close in on the stuff. For instance, would it say something like "Adreno 205" (assuming there's such detailed information there and that the WP7 XNA API supports it), you'll know that it's the second generation chipset.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
Good idea, installing XNA 4.0 now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Ideally the whole Visual Studio Express for WP7 shebang, or whatever it is called.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
http://www.storageserver.be/images/xnagraphics.jpg

The Vendor ID in there is the one from NVidia and the Device ID the one of the 8800GT. Coincidentally, there's a NVidia 8800GT in my system.

I figure that the ARM SoC's or the internal graphics devices have similar IDs registered.

--edit:

http://www.storageserver.be/gatest.zip

That silly project. It's possible that you need to register the device as developer device on the WM marketplace to deploy stuff. No idea.

Vendor ID's here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Mr.Sir:
Does it have a 4 inch screen?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
Doesn't look like this is going to be easy. Windows can't see the phone, because of missing drivers :)

It's a 4 inch screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Yea, you need the Zune 4.7 that's posted on the private Microsoft Connect site.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
Is that a late developer phone, or did you get your hands early on a different way?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
Hands early on a different way for a couple of days, giving back some feedback to one who lend me it.

I also had Desire HD for some days, I'm more impressed with this one though, but that's properly because everything is so new and fresh :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
OMG you lucky b*stard lol! Other than the 4in screen, and 8gb storage which you've mentioned. Things I (we) need to know:

CPU, GPU (if possible), RAM, overall device dimensions, and last but not least, Battery size. Hope you get back to us soon, I really like this device, cus its probably the only one that might not have a Qualcomm/Adreno200 chip.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
The battery is at 1500 mAH, but I have no way to check for CPU, GPU and RAM sadly. But it's really fast, even in this beta version of Windows Phone 7.

Dimensions:

Length: 122 mm (4.8 inches)

Width: 64 mm (2.52 inches)

Height: 11 mm (0.43 inches)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Thanks Erroneus.

Wow, battery and dimensions looks to be the same as the Galaxy S (tho about 1mm thicker). The 4in (super?) amoled screen and 1500mah battery has put this to the top of my wish list.

The LG phone supposedly has a speech-to-text feature. Would you know if this sammy device has that feature also?

Also does it have a front facing camera?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
The screen is very good, it looks like super amoled, because the colors are very vibrant comparing to iPhone 4 and Desire.

It has voice to command features, like "open internet explorer", I don't see any "speech-to-text feature", but the software is still beta and without special customizations from Samsung.

There seems to be a front facing camera, I just can't find anywhere to enable it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
Thanks for the quick reply. Can't wait for the official specs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
There's talk going around that the GT-i8700 is going to be called Omnia 7. What does your phone say in the system about page?
[Windows Phone 7 General] powersquad:
can you please do a video tour of the phone and post it on youtube. we want to see how fast this build is.
[Windows Phone 7 General] federaly:
With MSFT doing all the driver work I assumed that they will run on the same hardware internally to avoid complications and to minimize production time while increasing developer ease? I may be wrong but that is what I heard at MIX and aside form storage, screen, camera and build materials the CPU/RAM/GRAPHIC/etc are identical.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Cruzer1:
I'm just wondering if its that hard to make drivers for just 2 SoC? i.e. Snapdragon and Hummingbird...

I guess if we're stuck with Snapdragon, here's hoping it'll have the Adreno 205 in it :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Yes, it's my understanding that MS is doing all of that work as well. They plan on opening it up more in the future but right now their priorities are to keep it simple and do less things but do them well. That being said, I just can't see Samsung using a competitor's SoC. Maybe they are just holding their nose and going with it but I wouldn't be surprised if the Samsung devices are running the Hummingbird.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
The only problem is that all leaks right now point against the QSD8250, i.e. no 45nm or Adreno 205 :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I think you overestimate Samsung as a coherent well-organized entity. :) They have different business units with their own targets, plans, milestones, budgets etc. While Samsung tend to be more "use our own stuff" oriented than others, it's largely due to the fact that they do much more stuff than most their competitors.

Apart from that, there's a lot of sense in going Qualcomm in this case. Judging by what they say, they are far from being 100% sure that WP7 will be huge for them. In this case, their first devices will be to a large extent a trial, for which it makes sense to keep costs at minimum and not go into costly development just for the sake of selling some more CPUs of their own (it's not that big of a business actually). If/when WP7 takes off they may get more serious about putting Hummingbird (or whatever comes after it) there. Right now, with MS doing all the dirty work, it's more or less a risk-free endeavor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Erroneus:
Nothing about Omnia 7.

Gonna see if I have the time do a video-tour tomorrow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
However the WP7 phones are originating from the same business unit as all other mobile phones. And unless WP7's hardware requirements are wildly different from all other high performance smartphones, Samsung's more likely going to retool an existing platform (say Galaxy S) than design something new with a competitors product.

If anyone can help me, please do so!

I was messing around with the ONE-click-lag-fix thingy on this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8353541#post8353541

someone posted a "fix"

""you can fix the jpk issue by doing this:

after the failure, reboot the phone.

then with root explorer delete the file linux.ex2 in folder /data/ext2 this will give you back the space

open terminal emulator on phone and type:

su

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

press home button and reapply the lagfix.

wait...

profit!"

So I went into my phone in /data and found linux.ex2 (although it wasn't in /ext2 it was just in /data) and I deleted it

and used the terminal commands etc.

I reset my phone and it books into the logo then turns black and turns off

I don't have the 3 button recovery mode enabled... I have ADB and stuff though

Hello,

I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I pull out my x10 mini pro's qwerty keypad out, it tends to slam hard on the phone. I'm scared that something inside might break. I think the spring inside is tight so it slams hard when pulled out. Do experience the same thing as well? Do you think this is normal? I'm getting kinda paranoid whenever I pull out the keypad.

Thanks,
