[EVO 4G General] SouthernEvo:
I agree with the statement that chips will become more energy efficent . But still having staying power should be a major sell point . As in they should put something bigger than a 1500mah battery into it . Or atleast have the option of an extended battery to be released when the phone is released . Granted Im sure companies like Seidio and all those will spearhead the extended battery front but still the company itself should plan or atleast make the phones correctly handle an extended battery should one be installed in the phone . Unlike the HTC EVO that will do nothing but recognize a 1500mah battery . Its a no brainer that most of us that have smart phones in this caliber do more than just text with the damn things . Hence the company should also anticipate that when designing a device . Granted it now falls into form vs function . Some customers are gonna prefer a device that is "pretty" ie thin , stylish and modern like in design . Some are gonna prefer brute processing power and the ability to handle several tasks at once , ie navigation voice emailing etc etc . I still find it hard to believe the developers of the HTC Evo never noticed its battery life when it first launched . Granted with rooting and OTA updates battery life has improved from its early days . But I also feel right out of the gates on launch day the phone should have had more staying power then it intially had . I only hope phone manufacturers learn from this and start applying this into the new phones of the future .
[EVO 4G General] thekingofmean:
rofl, no ATI please. I'm pretty sure that the reason the tegra is such a great processor for phones is it's ability to turn off the GPU part when it's not in use. Equals no battery drain unless you're actually utilizing it.
[EVO 4G General] Sener69:
I perfer HTC over Moto because of the community they have behind them customizing the phone & doing more with them than a moto phone. There phones are okay to me compared to HTC. The HTC phones were all great from what i've used in the past over moto.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Just keep your EVO in good condition, sell it when the new phone drops, and buy the new one for full-retail. You will spend less than the upgrade price for the new one, you don't extend your contract, and you get to use the EVO for 4-7 months until the new one drops.
[EVO 4G General] jahnile:
Saw it, all this is all rumor for now, plus Moto is not really good with the updates... Plus am Pretty sure HTC and others will follow, willing to wait for the HTC "superphone"....
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
I do believe the only phone to get updates faster than the Droid was the Nexus One. C'm on, HTC fanboys, this isn't Samsung we're talking about. I've honestly been impressed with what Moto has done not only with their phones but for Android as a whole! You can see in my sig that I've never even owed a Moto phone, but how can anyone deny that they've been doing a fantastic job lately?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
We probably wont see dual core Snapdragons until the second half of 2011. From what I've been reading this morning, the GPU in the Tegra 2 is better than anything on the market right now but will probably fall to next year's next gen GPU's - PowerVR/Adreno. They will also be paired with similar dual core Cortex A9's, this Moto will probably just have the advantage of being first to market by a couple of months.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
I prefer to wait for HTC's devices, 'superphone' or otherwise. I have found that Motorola Droids tend to have more issues with Exchange synch than HTC devices, whether they are WinMo or Android based. In fact, with the exception of just one unit, every single Droid device (original, 2, or X) I've deployed in my corporate environment (Exchange 2003, now 2007, soon 2010) has had issues with Exchange synchronization.

Moto's UI skin is more fluid than HTC's, but I have noticed that Sense typically gives you more customization options than Moto's skin. Of course, rooting makes the pervious statement irrelevant, but there are no rooted devices in my environment.

*I realize the following is subjective*

Droids tend to have a boxier, industrial 'look', and HTC devices tend to be more aesthetically pleasing, to my eye anyway. Hold an X and an EVO side by side, and flip them around - you'll get what I'm saying.
[EVO 4G General] gedster314:
I'll stick with htc. The phone does sound awesome but so far no moto Droids have a meid solution and I like my classic sero better then a phone.
[Droid X General] Godzillafan1964:
Ok, following the instrucions of Darkonions Easier 1-2-3 Droid Root, I am finding it a little compicated at step 6a, I entered ./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin just like it says, it starts it's process, installed my drivers, and then it booted me out, I waited for awhile, but nothing happened, It says to "To check if rageagainstthecage worked it's magic, enter the shell with adb shell. You should see a # sign. If you don't, you need to run rageagainstthecage again by entering the command from step six.

how do I check the adb shell?:confused: .. I apologize for the noob questions, but coming from an iPhone, this is all greek to me.
[Droid X General] sunder74:
hi,

to enter adb shell first make sure you are in your tools directory ex (cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) once your in the directory just enter adb shell on a command line. if your get the # you have root. I would also suggest looking at doroot the droid2 one click rooting method which works perfectly for me. Its a quick script install that basically runs all the commands for you. hope that helps.
[Droid X General] Sleuth255:
If you get a "$" prompt, type in "su" and hit enter to see if you have root. You will see SU permission popup on your dx which you should allow. If prompt changes to "#" then you have root.
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
No, it's not the difference in bars.

I just checked my phone outside (I should theoretically have full bars outside), and my CM6 was consitently getting 5+ dBm's higher than a stock here running 1.5 on 60671 PRL.

Indoors my CM6 may get 3 dBm's lower than the other one.

Also, I don't know what this means but my CM6 Hero always has 0 asu where as the Stock one will 9 or more.

Also, the CM6 is MUCH stabler when showing dBm and keeps the same one throughout where as the Stock one will be random at times.

I don't think this means anything but the CM6 hero has a TPU case where as the Stock one has a silicone one.
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
Of course the case can have some affect on the signal.
[Hero CDMA General] garbonzo134:
went from -79/-86 in my room on fresh 2.4 to -89/-102 on cm6.

dunno if it makes a difference, but on fresh it says my carrier is cdma evdo rev.a or something like that, and cdma rtt 1x on cm6.
[Hero CDMA General] justpyro:
RTT 1x is the lower-grade signal. It's what a "normal" cell/flip phone style uses for signal. EVDO Rev. A is 3g speeds. So it makes sense that you have better signal on 1x. It means your phone can't find a 3g signal (not available in all areas) and went to a standard cell tower reception.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
You might want to remove the fresh pri or prl fix that he includes and update profile and prl/pri. I forgot which one it is. Also flashing a newer radio might help.

Watch out!!!!!!!

Dual Boot is coming soon with a linux and windows script that fixes the issues with CM6.

This will be a temporary script until a new recovery or app is made to streamline the whole process
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
Cover you phone in a few layers of foil and copper, call it case, come back here, and tell me that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemsonboyz:
This will seem long, but I want to ensure whoever may be able to help has all of the info I can give. My vibrant is officially bricked..

1)I was on the newest official software JI6

2)I had installed RyanZA's One click lag fix

3)I reversed the One click lag fix

4)Got creative and decided to try voodoo lag fix for vibrant version 3

5)After installing voodoo, phone will not boot

6)Here are the symptoms after voodoo.....phone will turn on and attempt to boot, but then just sits there with the bottom four buttons lit

7)Next, I have tried the following:

a)Odin JI6 - same result, phone will not move past Galaxy S logo

b)Did a factory reset - then Odin JI6 again = same result

c)Odin stock 2.1 (JFD) with 512 pit = Same result

Please help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeFFeCTiVE:
I had to odin my phone like 4 times to get it to work... Odin is the way... Have you tried switching the usb port the phone is plugged into?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightykc:
Try using Odin and flash back to stock ROM prior to JI6 like JI2 or JFD. This should work
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemsonboyz:
I have tried 2 times now to go back to JFD. Same result, everything goes smooth, then the Galaxy S logo appears. Once the Galaxy S logo goes away, the bottom four buttons stay lit for a while, and then I just have to power on. It stays in this loop.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxwhitehawk:
I believe the reason your phone would not boot is b/c you were running JI6 and flashed the voodoo kernel. To the best of my knowledge ALL of the custom kernels available for the Vibrant are based off of the JFD build. You have to flash the zip from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804415 THEN flash the kernel you want to use. I also know that once you flash the .zip from that thread, if you try to revert to the STOCK kernel it will hang at the Vibrant screen. Only way to get back to stock STOCK is to use Odin. Now as to why Odin is not working is beyond me... I almost wonder if it converted your RFS to EXT4 even though it hung at the Vibrant screen. If this happened then to fix it I believe you have to use Odin to flash Eugene373's "Froyo that does not brick" then downgrade back to JFD and then upgrade back to JI6. It won't be fun, but hopefully this will help you get up and running again!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemsonboyz:
Update!

Tried again using odin to JFD.

I noticed that after the blue bar finished in download mode and the screen starts scrolling things...

there was an error. It said it was unable to reset data.

Afterwards, it reboots while odin is finishing, then it shuts the phone off...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemsonboyz:
I would love to try this, but I believe this is over my head. (No shame here!) I don't know how to flash using clockwork.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxwhitehawk:
I think its safe to say if you are having a data error then voodoo IS enabled on your phone. You either need to do what I said earlier and flash Eugene's Froyo that does not brick and then downgrade back to JFD OR you might be able to use adb to push a file named "disable lagfix" (no extensions) into the "Voodoo" folder on your sdcard to disable voodoo. You need to disable it before your phone will work.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xipher_zero:
Official Instructions for Reverting from a Voodoo Issue:

SOURCE

Taken from the Bionix Instruction Page

As a note this will WIPE all the data on your phone except for the external sd card. The internal 16gb card will get wiped. Using ADB I would pull the entire contents of your /sdcard/ to your Computer so that you can restore completely. The command is as follows:

[Droid 2 General] tsmally:
Every so often my Droid 2 will start to play a very annoying sound. The sound is difficult to describe, it starts low then goes high then starts going high and low rapidly.

This sound will start to play seemingly for no reason. I'm curious to know what it signifies. More importantly, I want to know how to disable it!

I was describing this problem to a co-worker whose girlfriend has a Droid 2, he seemed to think his girlfriend has experienced a similar phenomenon.

Can anyone help me solve the mystery?

Thanks.
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
go through your alert sounds and find which file it is. This will help us to know the default sound for the setting that is causing this issue.
[Droid 2 General] Hashbaz:
Maybe it's trying to warn you of impending doom! ;)
[Droid 2 General] tsmally:
So I checked every available alert, ringtone, noise, etc. and I was not able to find a playable file that matches the noise I've experienced.

I guess since no one else has had a similar problem, I'll classify this as an unsolved mystery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XorZone:
Is it possible to use it at all?

will it work as default?

There is an app on the market that says it works but I dont want to spend money on something that should already work.

the application is called Bluetooth GPS Provider

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XorZone:
Thx for replies. I'll probably will get one, seems like sammy have problems fixing gps.

So, as this solution do not require hacking, etc. we could add this into general or Q&A.
[Desire General] shorty_blitz:
I just tested this, I added the settings you mentioned and I can say.......it works! Nice one bruv! I haven't rooted either.thank you for this!
[Desire General] Roger_Dodger:
Phew. Good. Means I did indeed totally fail to notice the "Consumer Broadband" APN section before though. Doh.

I guess we can infer that Orange intends to use the Consumer Broadband APN settings for chargeable tethering packages at a future point then. Very cheeky.

I bet it was this evil genius plan that held up the Orange Froyo rollout.

To anyone who's got a 2.2 Desire who's NOT on Orange UK and who DOES have their Wifi Hotspot feature working fully after getting Android 2.2 Froyo without any messing around - could you post here and tell us if you've got the two separate Mobile Data APNs I mentioned above? I have a suspicion you've only got one...?
[Desire General] hd2biker:
Mines Stock htc desire 2.2 (Not rooted) and o2 sim. Only 1 setting for everything. mms, gprs and wifi hot spot.

Not one issue at all.:)
[Desire General] bh27:
You Legend Roger_Dodger

That is brilliant. I have NO IDEA how you managed to come up with that Roger_Dodger but that seems to have worked for me! I am on a normal Orange with NO ROOT!
[Desire General] Roger_Dodger:
I guess that settles it then, seems to me it's definitely a ploy for Orange to subsequently charge us for tethering on smartphones. Bugger that. I pay for my bundle as it is thanks.

New request: Any network gurus here who know the mechanics of How This Works able to tell us whether Orange, or indeed any mobile provider, can tell whether data is being drawn is being pulled by the phone itself for its own use or is being sucked over a tether?

Oh, can I also say - Conman Maples, the Orange PR guy who many of you doubtless follow on Twitter (conorfromorange), while of some limited value, should be treated exactly as he is, *PR* - people seem to miss that he's a PUBLIC RELATIONS guy? Like Max Clifford but not as sharp? His JOB, his FUNCTION, is to paint Orange in good light.
[Desire General] sam640:
Works good. No idea how you managed to figure that. Again on a non root.

[Desire General] lysergic:

[Desire General] Surfy89:
Really, is there a way for Orange to know whether I'm using the internet on my phone or I'm tethering the connection?

[Nexus One Android Development] nuggeo:
Hi.

This is my first try at a hack for android. Been readin java previously so i know the basics.

I think there are others that would enjoy this "hack" aswell.

So to the hack i want to make.

Remove notifications while in Car-Dock playing music.

Remove the 25% volume thingy for media volume.

These "features" are incredibly annoying.

If my N1 is in the car dock the media volume goes down to about 1/4.

My notifications go on top of the music. While my N1 is in the car dock im quite sure i would notice a incoming call / sms / email. So there is no actual need for a sound.

What i want to do is remove the lowered volume and all notification sounds when in car dock.

I already removed the car home screen becose its utterly useless.

But this didnt affect the volume as i thought.

If anyone wanna help out with this it would be greatly appriciated :)
[Nexus One Android Development] madj42:
You could use the app PhoneWeaver to fix both issues. It has a car dock trigger and you can turn off all the notification sounds. Also allows you to specify a level for the media volume.
[Nexus One Android Development] nuggeo:
I tried one of these previously.

It removed the sounds. BUT it still muted the music for the moment the notification was supposed to play.

So it didnt disable the notifications. Only muted them.
[Nexus One Android Development] disgustip8ted:
i would actually like to have mine lowered like you describe, it always seems to crank up the volume so much so that it distorts the sound when i dock it and it is then not adjustable through the settings or through audio manager pro.

I'll have to check out phoneweaver, i emailed audio manager pro and they said there was no plans to set up profiles automatically triggered by docking the phone...

the way i deal with this is i have two home screen shortcuts for audio manager pro that sets all audio and mutes notifications and another that sets it back to normal

holy crap...6.99 for the app, perhaps ill wait to try it out
[Nexus One Android Development] nuggeo:
Ill get to work on this project next week when i have some time.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] klausner:
I was having problems with 86000106 using ActiveSync, so I decided to use SK Tools to delete my calendar database, planning to allow the server (Google cal via NuevaSync) to overwrite everything.

However, now the calendar on my Touch Pro2 is empty, but ActiveSync seems to think it is up to date, so it won't download anything! The online calendar is fine.

Is there a flag or something to reset to force ActiveSync to download? There don't seem to be any options to force an overwrite by the server.

P.S. This is with WM 6.5 and a stock ROM.
[Touch CDMA General] BestHubris:
I'm probably looking at a new phone in about 6 months, maybe less. My HTC Touch is old and I'd love to see some of the new Android builds and software.

My question is, is it worth it to put the effort into finding, flashing, and tweaking a ROM for such a short period of time. More importantly, will the experience on this much older hardware be worth it considering my upgrade will likely be much newer and more powerful hardware-wise.

Along those lines, is a fully tricked out Android Touch worthy of forgoing the newest 4G phones and thus avoiding the $10 surcharge, assuming that my current 3G web browsing is tolerable as long as I get over the screen size issue?

Thank you in advance for any thoughts you have.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
Android on vogue is totally worth it. it runs really nicely. not as nice as a new phone, but, hey - you've already got it. and it's pretty easy to get installed. you can always run it via haret for a week or two to 'try before you buy'
[Touch CDMA General] mikurej95:
Yes, it runs nicely, although because of the somewhat low resolution, some apps are cut off like robo defense, but it's playable. (also kitten cannon, makes the menu buttons all squished up but it is still playable). Remember to use the NAND method because while i used the sd card method, its SUCKED. And you can test out android and all to see if you like it. Not sure if you can do this, but to my understanding you can use a phone for like 30 days and then return it if you don't like it. but that might only be if you are getting a new plan with a new carrier or something.
[Touch CDMA General] BestHubris:
Thanks for the answers and for the tip on which method to use.
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
One last thing, if you are thinking about getting a device with 4G to eventually ditch your Vogue, make sure that you do it when 4G is available in your area. Otherwise, you will find those extra $10 per month to be a cause for rage against an otherwise really good carrier.

The Vogue should be perfectly fine as long as you can use it.
