I'm new to the android OS and came from windows OS. If i flash a rom that doesn't delete "/data" and don't like that rom and I flash a different rom that doesn't delete "/data", will all my apps,settings,data will be intact?

Reason I'm asking is because I don't want to re-install all my apps and set up my settings/configs with each new rom. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] illogic6:
Yes. 10 chars
[Epic 4G General] dever76:
Be sure to make a backup with Clockwork Recovery before you install a ROM. This is for 2 reasons; 1) incase something goes wrong you can restore from your backup and 2) you can go into the advanced restore menu *after* you have installed a new ROM that required you to wipe /data and just restore the /data portion of your last backup and get all of your apps and contacts back.

yesterday I took my at&t SIM out to try to use my phone strictly over WIFI with google voice. I was nagged everytime the screen woke up and also when I tried to use my contacts to msg and voice. Even after I set GV to default everything.

This seems like it should be an easy work around yet I have not found any information about using a cappy without a sim.

anyone help would be grateful

thank you in advance!

Hi to all,

Just upgraded to ROM froyo2.2 and now I can't register the phone from wireless.

Phone has been rooted previously and was able to register the phone via wireless previously.

(I do not have a data plan but rather prepaid T-mobile SIMM....works for me ;-) )

After loading froyo 2.2 phone worked fine...then loaded google apps. rebooted and am stuck at the registration screen... I turned on the wireless via

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings using adb and was successful at doing that...but still can not register the phone.

Here's some info from fastboot

HBOOT -1.33.2005

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.23.02

Question would be is there a workaround to register the phone again?

If not in this case how would I go about just starting the process all over again

and then just not add the google apps...or can I remove them somehow?

THANKS!

Just threw in the towel...did a hardware reset...problem cleared...

Rock On :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
Hey everyone, I'm using vodafone in the uk and keep having strange signal fluctuations with wcdma, especially when using data.

My signal strength is generally really bad but frequently I will be on 0/1 bars then shoot up to full bars and then back down again in the space of a few seconds, this is with it locked to wcdma.

Gsm is fine...

The phone is in a case also

Can I blame vodafone for my crappy signal or does anyone else experience this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pixie77:
I get the same thing, I thought it was vodafone so tried my wifes o2 sim but did the same thing. My old Nokia (N85) was fine on vodafone I just assumed the antenna wasn't as good in the galaxy? just sitting at my computer my galaxy has jumped between 85 and 111 dBm and once 0 dBM 0 ASU. Unless I get really good coverage the reception is all over the place?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
The reception does seem really bad... Although I have a friend with a galaxy s using orange saying the reception is fine

The signal strength doesn't bother me, I can still make calls and do what I need to do, it's just strange because when using data, the signal jumps up to max, I get a big speed increase then it goes back down again.

Its like a bug...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bundao1:
Same problem here (on Vodafone UK). Always been in a strong signal area so never noticed a call dropping issue as such but the signal does fluctuate a lot when it should definitely be strong and solid.

Spending the next two weeks in a weaker signal area so it'll be put to the test I guess.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StevoLord:
Hi,

Ive been having problems installing Froyo 2.2 on my HD2 due to errors and also having a radio .51. Not wanting to risk bricking my phone I downloaded the new rom upgrade which came out yesterday and decided to try to run android without hspl 2 or 3, or doing any complicated flash rom stuff as I s**t myself incase I brick my phone.

So just letting people know that if ur having the same problems like me but want to try out android on ur hd2. I would upgrade your phone to 3.14 and simply download froyo 2.2 to ur stick. No need to do the other stuff and it hopefully should work like mine. This post could help people who just want a simple working android on their phone without having to follow some of the more complicated guides that ask you to install hdpl, custon roms, upgrade radios that could brike ur phone if u dont read them properly.

Sorry if this has been posted just I could not find this info anywhere... :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malaeus:
testing?

can you test and confirm that everything works?

phone calls (outgoing and incoming)

text messages (outgoing and incoming)

MMS (outgoing and incoming)

google account access (gtalk gvoice gmail)

camera+flash

camcorder+flashlight

GPS+navigation

WiFi

BT

G-Sensor

Compass

Market

that would be great. and would be the most help to any future android users on HD2

This sounds a bit fishy to me, I mean dont you need HSPL 2 or 3 to allow the phone to even boot into Android?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] petrosk73:
No, it will boot, but u have the Robotic voice problem!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StevoLord:
Yes I didnt install HSPL 2 or 3 because I was afraid of bricking my phone, all I did was upgrade to the new rom 3.14 on the htc.com website and tried the android that I put on my dou stick. Sorry if im not making sense just im new to this stuff and dont know how to explain very well. Anyways ive been playing around with it today and SMS works fine, market place but I get the robot voice on my phone calls, anyone know a fix for this, also battery life seems great if u get the settings right. Phone on standby all night and only lost 3% battery life :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ellisforheroes:
Robotic voice present

Hi, another newbie here.

The upgraded ROM from htc.com also inspired me to take the plunge and try Android. Android boots fine, and everything seems to be in good working order (GPS, Market, SMS etc), but unfortunately the downfall is the robotic voice.

Would I be right in thinking that as Radio 2.15 becomes the norm, that future Android builds may solve this problem?

As it stands, I don't believe it would be possible to roll back the radio to 2.14?

Thanks All.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StevoLord:
phone calls (outgoing and incoming) - Robotic Voice on both

text messages (outgoing and incoming) - Totally fine and working for both

MMS (outgoing and incoming) - Havnt tried yet

google account access (gtalk gvoice gmail) - Gmail works, havnt tested others

camera+flash - Camera works but no flash

camcorder+flashlight - Camcorder and light works

GPS+navigation - Used compass app and it found my location

WiFi - Fully works and connected

BT - Dont know what this is

G-Sensor - Dont know how to test

Compass - Works

Market - Fully works
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StevoLord:
Hi im also a newbie and hopefully it will,

also since this works can I take any future android build and put them on my phone?? Dont know how this works, do I just replace my old android folder with the new one on my duo stick??

P.S. how do you get the 5min reply block off my account? :)

Thx in advance :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rurph:
like OP i was also reluctant to install hspl, flash a new radio/rom and etc just to try android, since i was using stock 1.66 rom with 2.06 radio. yesterday after flashing the latest stock rom, I installed Froyostone Sence v3.17. Frankly saying I did not expect it to boot so fast and work so smooth. giving its my first try, the whole double OS experience on my HD2 is astonishing. Now i feel kind of less abandoned by the 'oh we love square blue tiles' Microsoft. So far I have sucessfully configured gmail/exchange accounts, as it has already been mentioned the market fully works (though could not install Angry Birds), also had a phone call but did not have a robotic voice though was told that my voice sounded as if i was far away from the phone, i guess this is normal considering that i was on a speaker mode.

p.s my sd card is Samsung 8 gb class 6
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StevoLord:
aww cool thats good to hear that u dont have robotic voice on ur build. I was only looking to use android to help me develop an app for my final year uni project and also to allow me to, browse web, facebook, make calls and texts so I might have to download ur build. Dont know what mine is atm but I guess everyone who does this someone will find the perfect build where everything works. Btw Rurph does ur light work when u take a picture? Mine doesnt but my camcorder does :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ellisforheroes:
Thats interesting - I will go ahead and try Froyostone Sense and see if that also solves my robot voice problem.

I had been keen to try a non-sense UI out of interest, but after a taste of android, I am keen to use android day-to-day!

I'll let you know how I get on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rurph:
have just tried the camera, the flash does not seem to work - not a big problem, since i rarely use the camera on my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dasf77:
Yep. Same here.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StevoLord:
Ah no probs, well at least the robotic voice is gone on ur build I can live without a flash :P Will have to download ur build tonight, hopefully I can call people :D

Hopefully someone can help me here.

I started the whole root/flash process and got here:

I did all the steps all but one, I forgot to put the radio.zip file onto the sd card and now I am already in the Clockwork Recovery Mode (green and black screen) I have done all steps right up until flash Radio.zip. Have no idea what I should do now. I have cleaned cache and data/factory reset.

What should I do since I cannot flash radio.zip?

Cheers all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
You could've flashed the ROM and then turned the phone off, copied the radio and flashed that. Also, depending on the ROM, it shuld boot up with the wrong radio anyway - just might not work properly!! :D

[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
If you're looking for a free option, even easier method is to use Overclock Widget. I believe Hero includes that in his ROM under /sdcard/app.

[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
Ran into the same problem, so I restored all my apps using CWM instead (boot up to CWM, advanced restore, choose the image that you want to restore from, restore data). Not really the best way to do it, but at least I got all my apps back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sndtubes:
I've installed this twice now. Both times I started from stock. It seems to work well so far, even at 1.3 GHz. All of the apps that I use that require root work fine. However, it seems that somehow he's disabled any access via adb or term. Anytime I try any command in adb shell or term, I get "permission denied". Has anyone else seen this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] troyolson92:
Been running this rom for almost a week. very stable and looks great no issues at all. have setcpu at 1.3 max and 100min conservative. quad scores 1029 best.

Wish hero could make a bare bones rom that has his great skinning, then have zip folder for all sprint, zip for all touchwiz, zip for misc. that why everyone gets programs they want without constantly removing crap and it keeps the rom small and light and fast!!!

great work hero!!!!

I just use WinRar to add and remove apk's from his ROM zip before I flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UnicronAlpha99:
Not a bad idea to format boot, cache, data, and system through the advanced mounts and storage menu in CWM when installing this rom. More or less no errors.... when oced to 1.3 there is virtually no load time with apps or rendering time for web pages.
[Epic 4G Android Development] scriz:
I'm most impressed by Baked snack..runs smooth and crisp, and I enjoy the all black everything. Although it doesn't work well with the DRM stuff removed..blah.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ragnarokx:
Don't remove the DRM files - use a startup editor to stop it from starting upon boot or just freeze the processes with something like titanium backup.

[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
i thought this was really nice. this is from member specialk on these forums

Since they closed another thread of yours please feel free to paste this wherever you want (if you even want to)

This is strictly coming from an UNBIASED epic user. Matter of fact, you could even say i opposed the whole paying for roms, etc. But i have been running this for 3 hours and it is INSANELY FAST!!! I have tried every rom/kernel Combo since the conception of epic android development and i must say, I've been running at 1.3ghz with ABSOLUTELY no problems. I realize processors might vary to a degree but even at any setting this is a monster. I tried to freeze this thing and no go. Its a simple as this, do all you speed freaks want 1.3GHZ? Do you want mid 10s on linpack? Want no lag time between switching, running anything? Want a **** ton of available ,customizing? This is what you want. Btw system info says 1.2 but build says 1.3ghz voodoo color di18. Again, this is coming from a non donating, non believing (at first anyway...sorry) epic user. Seriously well done sir.

Took me forever to write that **** and the damn thread closed. I wasn't wasting all that writing lol. Thanks again man. Good job

I have to agree - this is the fastest, most bug-free ROM I've run so far. Also AMAZING battery life. Went 14hrs yesterday with moderate usage and still had 65% battery life left (with data always on). Thanks for everything you do Hero_Over.

[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I went all day running 1.2ghz and then it licked up at the end if the day. The mix up legal would lock up 2-3 times a day. 1.3ghz is completely unstable for my phone. Battery life is amazing. I live the custom tones also. I was wondering if you can add the 2.2 market

You get my phone stable at 1.3 or 1.2 I will send you a generous donation. You truly deserve it then

Hello i have a 16gb Sandisk micro sd card which i was able to use to install a couple builds. I was able to format it in between however after this latest build my card is now unable to format and i get a write protected error.

Problems:

Using windows formatting software on the desktop it gives me an error saying the card is currently in use by another application.

using the formatter on the phone it'll just take ages to format and end up not erasing anything.

if i try to manually delete everything it'll take forever and the files will remain

Tried solutions:

I have tried sticking the micro SD into a sandisk adapter and played around with the lock mechanism with no success.

In addition, i tried loading up android again from the same card and attempted to unmount the sd card before removing it and trying to format through windows again. No success...

Suspected problem:

everytime i load up android on this card it starts from scratch asking me for the initial setup settings such as language, etc. My apps aren't saved either. So i suspect android has somehow write protected my card preventing any writing or deleting whatsoever.

help please?

Have a linux install you could try it on (or live CD to boot into)?

Could also try http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ instead of normal windows formatter.
