Any sense 2.2 kernel should work. King's kernel #11 is out, you can try that one. All kernels unlock FPS so it's all good.
[HD2 General] burro breath:
So I have always wondered what the gold tabs are that are undernieth the battery cover in the lower lefthand side just below the battery? Are they for a wireless induction charger like the palm pre had as an avalibe accesorry?
[HD2 General] ag4vr:
Antenna?

I had an Aria for a short time, and it turned out that the phone's antenna was actually in the battery cover.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
according to the HD2 manual the area directly under the battery door is where the antenna is and they advise you not to hold the phone there.

It's proabably there to provide even grounding to the chassis
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
its for the car kit mode. when you slap it on the tmobile car kit it makes contact with a phone holder (back cover gets removed) and tells the phone to enter car kit mode.
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
wow didn't know u had to take the back cover off to use it in the car kit....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk262:
as soon as I use power to select "/sd" it flashes me back into the same directory tree like I didn't select it at all. Am I missing something obvious?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skater4690:
try using the back softkey as your select button
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
/sd is your ext sd card, roms should be installed from /sdcard (internal).

If you have it in the correct place, perhaps you are not scrolling to the very bottom of the list in cw recovery when you are selecting your file to flash.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk262:
Are you saying I should put the rom in the main memory (lacking proper term here) of my phone instead of the "external" removable sdcard?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
move the rom .zip file to the root of sdcard/ (this is the internal memory). If you are putting it at sdcard/sd, this is your external memory and is not correct.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk262:
Yay thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
So what rom are you running now?
[G2 and Desire Z General] genethebean33:
I hate to ask this........if its in another forum or not but do you guys have the same problem running your internet when you are on edge. What sucks is my house switches from H to E and when on E there is no action. If there are others let me know cause I this is my second phone already due to black screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
I get internet access on edge... it's slow but it works.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CyberWolf.K9:
I'm having the same issue with the edge... I'm in Salt Lake City, where are you?
[G2 and Desire Z General] genethebean33:
Im near Los Angeles about 20 mins out
[G2 and Desire Z General] Halotron:
Same here, in southern Arizona. This is also my second phone. First one bricked mysteriously ;) I can't access the app store or do ANYTHING data-related in EDGE mode. 3G works very well, but I get nothing whenever I'm in EDGE. At least I have wifi at home.

I've called customer support and their recommendation was to do a factory reset. I tried that, no improvement. I get slightly more stable connections after changing my radio to GSM (auto PRL) in the phone information menu, but it's still awful.

I'm thinking of calling back again in a week or so and bugging them to give me a third phone. Maybe the second batch with tighter hinges will be out by then...
[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I am on my third G2 and all of them have had much the same issues. All have had loose hinges. The last one I received started out by rebooting on its own as I charged it. With my Nexus One and my Vibrant I always get 1-3 bars of 3g with the G2s I get virtually no H consistently or 3g and 2-3 bars of E or a lot of G. This last one will go from suddenly having 4 bars of H to 1 bar of G it just does not stay on H and I get numerous No signals. Getting on the market at times is frustrating and downloading is a real adventure. I like the phone but am becoming disenchanted as it seems with this last G2 I am uncovering different problems every day. I have had black screen freezes random reboots etc. Also while in a conversation on the phone it put the call on hold without my doing anything. Perhaps the sensor malfunctioned and my ear hit the hold or mute button but this should not happen. I have also dropped calls and have had calls come in with no notification except for notice of voice mail after the fact. I am about ready to throw in the towel and send it back for a refund. If anyone has any ideas or fixes for any of the issues I have mentioned I would greatly appreciate hearing them

Just had a screen freeze and when it booted backup by itself it just went into a loop of home screen to black screen and home screen to black screen. Had to power off and pull battery and reboot and it now seems okay. That probably does it for me. I am tired of the constant problems and after 3 devices all with similar or same issues and more being uncovered every day,I am coming to believe that another replacement will not be the answer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
Yes this happens to me pretty often. I live in a building in Brooklyn NY, and when I am moving around in the building, my data connection goes out and I get 5 bars of signal but no data, no G, E, 3G or H+.

Also if I'm in an area where data connection or the signal is spotty, it will go from H to E and then back to E, and then give me a error about not being able to get any data connection.
[G1 General] he3:
Just went to look at the dev section. Come on... Really?
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
Is a big selection a problem?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
FYI about "all" the roms... in terms of FROYO roms, they are virtually ALL THE SAME -- CM6. The rest of them are actually just rebranded CM6.
[G1 General] fw_:
Thanks for the sweet input. I'm sure the community will decide to stop working on all of their different ROMs, themes, and whatnot to suit your belief.
[G1 General] raven_raven:
It's not that bad - there were times when you could choose from really different ROMs, but then Cyanogen started to support G1 with his CyanogenMod and these days there's only few the bravest who try to build their ROM from AOSP, not from CM source.

So it's like CM AND themed/renamed/scripted MC.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
That isn't a belief. Its a FACT.

And newbs like you should mind their manners.
[G1 General] he3:
In terms of trying them all to find a preferred one? I guess it's up to the person and how much time they have.

Sorry to offend you chap. I love innovation fwiw. I like the skinning of the CM base too. But again, wow, there are a lot. Thanks for commenting!
[G1 General] j0hnZ:
I miss this about my MT3G.
[G1 General] r3s-rt:
Do you seriously think there are a lot of ROMs? o.O

Maybe over time, not updated ones. You have no idea how sweet it was when Donut was still the big player.
[G1 General] he3:
Heh, it's like when I first got my G1 and watching the android store: "Oh! There's another one!".

I've been around since the beginning and you are right about how "sweet" and exciting it was when the updates came fast and furious. I guess I've been spoiled by that experience, and now it seems to me there are two pages of same ol' different bonnet.

To be clear, not saying this is a bad thing.
[G1 General] jinxie:
yeah, feel ya buddy, i got my g1 less than a week ago, and i felt exactly like you when i wanted to chose a ROM to flash.

I flashed CM6 just to try it out, then switched to biffmod 2.sth, which is like a shaved CM. biff runs a lot faster than CM for me, but i need some ROM that will let at leaste SOME ram free, and that wont kill my battery in just a few hours.. i guess ill have to go for eclair or donut,, i just didnt want to miss froyo updates..

so if you do find some good ROM, let me know
[G1 General] he3:
I always keep going back to Chromium.
[G1 General] jubeh:
Mine is most certainly not a copy of CM... It's incomplete (camcorder, video), but it's not CM.
[G1 General] jinxie:
I'll make sure to try that one, can you provide a link? (only few results in search and doesnt seem to be it,..)

Im looking for something like milestone's EclairLess, but that would work on the Dream.. anyone?
[G1 General] AdrianK:
True dat! I've been using since it was released, are you ever going to update it?
[G1 General] he3:
He said virtually. And cause yours ain't cm based, im DEF gonna give it a try! Are you planning on getting cam working? Is it you own kernel? Nm, I'll just go read your thread. =]

Oh wait! If I recall you had the first "froyo" right! I was just remembering how that rom was stable for a week with no slowdowns! It just had missing functionality.... I missed that your still developing, I thought you stopped on froyo cause of cm. Going to look for it now. Thx
[G1 General] he3:
Chromium 4.5. It's in the first two pages, I'm on an iPad now so posting links is like pulling teeth, sorry. I've been on Super F now for 24+ hours and it's pretty good too.

Anyone able to recommend a donut or eclair that is still being maintained I would be much obliged.
[G1 General] jinxie:
aaaah I think its called "Chromatic", not "Chromium", thats why I couldnt find it.. lol

ill give it a try, but anyways, Im still looking for a very light 2.1 to see if I can get more battery life and RAM
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinr6:
I have been having this problem for what seems like a few weeks now, but it has gotten worse over the past week or so. I rooted my Inc and have flashed a few roms to test them out ( got most from Rom Manager as I was told those are pretty reliable ). I have this issue that seems to be pretty constant now, I will be using my phone, like downloading an app from the market or listening to music and I will pop into google maps to get directions or see where my latitude friends and family are, and poof! my phone reboots, then it goes into a boot loop and doesn't usually fix itself until I pull the battery. I do notice that the battery gets pretty hot at the same time. If I pull the battery and keep it out till it cools, it will usually fix the issue for a short time... but then it happens again ( no matter what rom I am running) Someone told me the radio may be causing this, anything to that ?

I am currently running Redemptive R-EVO-lution 1.6

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilhunter101:
I don't know a whole lot about android but I do know most devices have builtin failsafes when it comes to batteries. So, your battery may be the issue here and not the device itself. If you know someone else with an incredible then try to trade batteries for a day. If the problem doesn't repeat, or even starts happening on the other device then you know you have a defective battery.

Other than that, you'll have to wait for someone more knowledgeable than I to give you their thoughts. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Install something to view your battery heat you may be over heating it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinr6:
will do

Is there an app you'd recommend for the battery app heat ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeProcopio:
pulling info will heat the phone...use setcpu it checks for battery temp and displas it on the widget... do you have GPS on? any downloads over 3g tend to heat the phone a bit too..as does anything that uses the GPS....

check your phone usage and see if anything looks out of whack, maybe an app that is drawing a lot of battery etc...

you can flash back to the stock rooted 2.2 and see if that does the same thing....i'm running the desire rom with adrynalyne SSUV kernel and phone is steady at 95*
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinr6:
:)

Installed setcpu... will keep an eye on that for the next 24 hours and see what happens. Do you have any recommendations on profile settings in setcpu ? Thanks again for the help.

-Steve
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 11RJB:
I was having the exact same issues, and thought it was heat for the longest time as well.

Digging around online, I found that my issue was related to the phone switching towers on a low signal. It seems that there may have been a bad batch of phones in there with this problem - because I found a LOT of examples when I looked for them.

Anyway, I had it replaced by Verizon and it's been great ever since. It hasn't rebooted on me once. Maybe you are having the same issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
The actual answer

All deference to the prior posters, but SetCPU has nothing to do with it.

I had this as well on my first Incredible (I am on #3). As the above poster indicated, there IS a problem with the earlier batches of Incredibles. They were built with faulty hardware radios. As they struggle to compensate to find a signal, they heat. Once they hit a point, they reboot. Mine would go into a reboot loop between 4-13 times before actually booting, and it would virtually never go into custom recovery (at least not unless it was off for a while).

You do not need a new kernel, you do not need SetCPU, you do not need a battery checker ... you need to call Verizon, tell them your phone gets super hot even with no use, and enters a reboot loop. They will send you a refurb (I received a refurb with a pre-blown speaker) and you will enter refurb-hell until you get one that works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinr6:
:(

I really appreciate your input, I put setcpu on my DInc. and have it set to drop the CPU to 600 if the battery temp hits 100, has been like that all day and so far, it hasn't rebooted once. If the problem continues, I will have to goto verizon and play the refurb game, but i HATE the refurb game and like so many of us, I NEVER:mad: win the first few times I play.

11RJB, what did you look up specifically to find out about the bad batch of phones??

Thanks again guys/girls
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x1208x:
Did you revert the phone back to stock and unrooted?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
You are few to do with your phone as you see fit but please understand you are now throwing a software band aid over a known hardware problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinr6:
respect your suggestion

If I did choose to bring the phone back to verizon, I would need to unroot it and put it back to stock 2.2 with sence, right ? Is the OTA rom out there anywhere ? I am not trying to argue with you, just trying to avoid dealing with the nards at the verizon store... LOL

-Steve
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Yes

There are so many threads out on XDA on unrooting an Incredible for warranty return that I weep a little bit. A little searching will bring them up. I too did NOT want to enter refurb hell, but when the phone would become unusable for hours (usually later in the day) because of the heat, I had little choice.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockinr6:
So you had to go through a few exchanges to get a good unit, right?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Unit ZER0:
Over at my job in Woods Hole, there is a project going on called "The Encyclopedia of Life" found at http://www.eol.org/ It is a massive taxonomic database of all the worlds known species. It is growing by leaps and bounds as new species are added. I guess you could call it a "Wikipedia of all living things" only with links for species, families, and other data for each entry. It is apparently intended for biodiversity professionals, and scientists, but they want to make it accessible to the average person as well. My question to them was did they have a mobile app? Their answer was that they had a "less than satisfactory" iPhone app, and nothing else. My question to the software developing community is this: Would anybody out there be willing to develop a "Portal" type app for the Windows Mobile and Android platforms that would enable a user to look up species entries on this site from their mobile device? they have an API here: http://www.eol.org/api and some more info on the way the entire site is set up here: http://www.eol.org/content/page/help_build_eol Sound like a project anyone might be interested in?

[G2 and Desire Z General] randomperson2:
So I bought Legends Arcana and started playing for about 15 minutes. As I was playing, I received a text message from T-Mobile saying my usage has reached the data threshold for my rate plan (which SUCKS because I never got that message when I was using my G1, and edge speeds after hspa+ is a total kick in the balls). I exited out from the game to look at the message and noticed that my screen was acting up...

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_TrJu5gP6RXk/TLPUEPZBoNI/AAAAAAAAAQo/2TjkJW_bsSo/bad G2a.JPG

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_TrJu5gP6RXk/TLPUEKfbxZI/AAAAAAAAAQs/CKiOerz3wSk/bad G2b.JPG

It's like there's a really bad James Cameron filter over my G2's screen. The camera app shows it the best... Neither a reboot nor a battery pull does anything. I'm assuming the overwhelmingly amazing graphics of Legends Arcana overheated the GPU. I'm going to see if Radioshack will replace it tomorrow.

Hooray for lemons! I was really enjoying this phone up until this point. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Maybe its that 100% brightness? But yea the screen looks like my xbox 360 after the gpu has messef up. Return it or try to overheat it again do a towel trick :p

Sorry tho it sucks tho
[G2 and Desire Z General] supernine:
I can tell you right away, it's very likely not your GPU..

It's likely the FLEX cable between the logic board and the LCD/upper board. It likely has a tear or crease causing a faulty connection/feed to the display. Open the hinge halfway and take a peek...

If you feel the FLEX appears solid, there's a small chance the LCD is damaged (usually from impact, do you recall dropping the device?)

Lastly, try a factory wipe, as it could be a software glitch.

[G2 and Desire Z General] randomperson2:
I definitely have never dropped it. I keep it in the case that came with my G1 and baby the thing constantly. I checked out the flex cable, and it looked fine to me.

I'll try the factory reset when I get home from work.

Update: factory reset did nothing. I'm pretty sure it was a hardware issue. Luckily Radioshack replaced the G2, no questions asked.

Today, when I check the updates of the apps, I found that this app keeps showing "installing" but the app has been installed properly yesterday.

I tried several ways to solve it but all doesn't works.

1.) Restart

2.) Unmount & Remount SD card

3.) Uninstalled it by Titanium Backup

4.) Restore the app with older version

5.) Kill "Market" in Taskiller

But all of these cannot solve the problem.

Current rom: mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8

Does anyone know how to solve it? thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] avocadopat:
1. go to your settings

2. select "applications"

3. then select "manage applications"

4. press menu and select "filter" then "All"

5. scroll down to:

- "Market" then select "clear cache"

- "Market" then select "clear data"

Does anyone else have issues with their phone acting erratically when connected to a PC? For example, when my phone is plugged in to the PC & I type with swype, the swype trail jumps all over the place and spells the words wrong. I have tested this with both debugging mode on and off.

Hey guys coming from the evo forums with a question for you all. My buddy has a Droid which I rooted for him yesterday and I was looking for some kernels for him. Do any exist?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] prohna:
There's a bunch in rom manager he can try. Personally I tried a handful and never noticed an improvement that was worth my phone seeming hotter and battery life decreasing even a little (I'm on my phone alot). I've had the best results just using setcpu and over/underclocking the stock cyanogen kernel.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] barnacles10:
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, cyanogen was the first thing I flashed for him. haha

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Xeronix:
What Rom is he running?

I know of no compatible Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 kernels in the Rom Manager, but I could be wrong.

Kernels are pointless, all they do is eat your battery.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] shmoo_45:
I have to disagree. I've been using OC kernels since first rooting my phone. I personally see a pretty sizeable difference between running 600mhz and 1000 or 1200mhz. There are many kernels out there that run at 1000 on less than the stock voltage. As for the battery life I really haven't noticed a difference. I gan get a full 10 hrs of moderate to heavy use out of my phone before I hit 20% battery. Cruise on over to droidforums.net if you like. They will have everything that you need to set your buddy up
