You should definately add the nightly builds as an option, i've been running one of the builds for..dunno coming up to a week i think, and its so smooth, consistently, no lag what so ever, and fast, and stable
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asalus:
also to add to the problem, i tried the bluetooth, i cant receive files but i can send files to others..

ooops wrong thread sorry..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -2y2k-:
yeah its been awhile... i forgot about Crono's ROM, going to flash it right now and compare it with Floyo.

took the advice that FroydVillain may be a bit older relatively and it seemed like the FusionROM wasnt so stable. might try elelinux after crono's but i doubt it... still need to see which one could possibly run Adobe AIR!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erasmux:
First any ROM with flykernel-11 (including Floyo 1.0+) will by default use smartass will automatically cap the speed when sleeping to 352. So actually that is much better for battery life when idle and it does not require any app.

Regarding floyd's policies, I am actually not aware of such an option. It's definitively not in the kernel, so if it does exist it's an option of the included CPU speed app....

That is very unfortunate, as that developer has chosen to keep all his work very private and "top secret" and will not share his knowledge, not even on problems he has claimed to solved and was asked to share his solution specifically.... I understand that such issues just look like power struggles to users which do not follow the technical development threads very closely but actually in this case there are very good reasons why this developer is not allowed on XDA.

In the long run such developers do not advance android/hero development at all.

Okay I noticed on the new nightlies (cm6) say anderiod version 2.2.1 thats because the original platform is from the Nexus (FRF91) which had an update (FRG83) now Im having problems with Themes. Even thru Theme Porter, does anyone else experience these issues or can I get some suggestions or tips for me? Thx in advance to helpful ppl.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Apparently there was a change with the framework-res file.

Hi

Is it essential to use a custom rom to run Android, or, can Android run fine with one of the latest offical roms?

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] random_username_:
im using the latest official t-mobile uk rom from the t-mobile.co.uk website and am having no problems, although i did have to change from the .51 radio included to a .50 radio
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shree.cse:
I am using the official 1.66 version Rom, its better to use stock even than custom roms. I found some issues with custom roms. But change the radio version with this stock Rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] saquib:
Thanks guys. Will try the latest official one released today and see how that goes.

[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Lack of support? GPS issues? Umm they just came out with an update that basically got rid of all the lag and makes the GPS a lot better... Lack of support... yea...

They are actively testing Froyo also so that should be coming very soon. Good luck with that G2 though. I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Can we all just agree to not post here so this thread dies soon... I hope this is the last post in this thread!
[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
its not

JI6 got me an initial satelite lock but once I was moving it was still horrible. I am really glad you all will be getting Froyo months after it has been available but Samsung chose to ship with an outdated OS.

This is the first phone I have ever owned that I literally hated. Even though the G2 isn't rootable ATM, I'll take an HTC on its worst day over any Samsung on its best day.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
your loss dude. The Bionix line of ROM's completely fixes the GPS and overclocks the Vibrant to 1.2. Blazingly fast and amazing battery. Enjoy the downgrade =/

[Vibrant General] vitalik228:
I like Samsungs hardware but the customer service SUCKS... My 2 friends got the update and both of them got stuck on vibrant logo (basicly bricked phones) this should not happen with a little simple maintenance fix. I can't imagine what the problems will be like with froyo. Look at HTC for example they updated their phones to 2.2 long ago with no problems.... Its all Samsungs fault, they're lazy to work on the updates..
[Vibrant General] boodies:
do you really think we care? you'll quickly realize the same old bs is inherent with all big companies. If you think SGS has crap performance, I can't wait till you get a G2 :D cya rudeguy

Your just slow how old are you 10? IMO the vibrant is the best phone tmobile has right now and the G2 is just ugly lol

Okay, how about we all stop talking, its just going to start bigger arguments, you guys remind of the people in the iphone scene (no hate on the actual iphone, its just most devs, noobs, and regulars seem to <3 drama)
[Vibrant General] DROID76:
Well I just did the opposite.I had nothing but problems from my g2. Dropped calls and the hinge kept opening and closing on its own but good luck.
[Vibrant General] mr2t32:
I don't think they are lazy. I think they try too hard their own launcher TouchWiz and they are having problem porting it over to froyo... They should have just left it the way it is like HTC and not trying to make their own launcher.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:

[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Were their phones rooted with custom roms, kernels, and/or lagfixes?
[Vibrant General] gbakabg:
I see some one said the gpsdon't lock when moving I drive trucks for a living and since the update everything has been great...maybe the vibrant don't like you lol...plus I'm running the bionix rom too it can't get no better ..I'm not knocking the g2 but its not the vibrant
[Vibrant General] grennis:
You might want to check the G2 forums.. I see that the honeymoon is over in there.
[Vibrant General] neoseal:
While Samsung's support hasn't been spectacular thus far, I don't think HTC has done much better. The G1 took forever to get updates, and the mytouch 2.1 is STILL waiting on getting 2.1. As for the mytouch slide, which came out months before the Vibrant, still doesn't have Froyo. The slide was suppose to get Froyo "soon" after release, but that never happened. HTC might be pushing out updates for their phones, but those updates have yet to hit any HTC phone at T-Mobile.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Yeah, it's not like there's one uber-Android phone manufacturer that totally outclasses the rest. Moto is certainly not super friendly with its Blur and locked bootloaders. HTC has many issues of its own (*ahem* G2). If Samsung cancels Froyo, yeah, I'll join the bandwagon of discontent, but up until this point I'm not complaining. The update works fantastic and I'm pretty happy with my Vibrant right now.

Personally, I think we'll see more dev support than the G2 for a while. Our hardware is tops and the phone is unbrickable. That last factor is key: People are way more willing to try out customizations when they know their phone is indestructible.
[Vibrant General] down8:
If I was within my return period, I'd jump ship, too. In fact, had I know the G2 was coming, I'd have waited patiently with my G1. The screen is beautiful on this, but it's not worth the hassle.

I think my lag issues have gotten worse since the update. And GPS is still just tollerable compared to most any other phone.

I couldn't give two ****s for 2.2 if they worked on fixing the lag issue (just use a normal FS, Sammy!).

And this kid.... You might want to type like an adult before calling someone a child....

[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
The vibrant is by no means perfect, but I currently have 3 right now, and none have any of the crazy lag issues I hear so much complaining about. All do have issues with gps occasionally, and SOME intermittent lag, but nothing that would make the phone junk. I got one using a line upgrade, the 2nd at full price for my wife, and the 3rd is a replacement I just received for one for the gps issues.(I'm not paying $500 for something with anything on it that's not 100% functional)

I was all excited about the g2 like everyone else until I actually got my hands on one this past weekend. It's not bad, definitely a slight bit snappier than my stock vibrant that has yet to receive an update. The looks aren't for me though. It's too chunky and clunky for me to want to dish out $500 for. It has it's own list of issues as well. The grass is always greener on the other side, just remember that if you're feeling down about your vibrant. I like the g2, but not anymore than my vibrant.

[Vibrant General] Taha24:
Wow what a stupid thread, you must have known you'd just get flamed.

I feel the same exactly way as you. And i'm switching to the G2 soon too, but why make a thread it on a Vibrant forum full of people that spend a good chunk of money on their new phone.

But yea, almost 10 people have bought a Galaxy S phone based on my recommendation and I feel embarrassed. I'll never recommend a Samsung phone again.

EDIT: Just one thing I wanted to say to the people being supportive of Samsung still not delivering 2.2..... The Galaxy S line is the ONLY "super phones" in America that are not on 2.2, and its the most recent one to come out, is that not embarrassing? Every "high end" phone from the Droid 1 and beyond has 2.2 except the Galaxy S phones (I think by now we should all know midrange phones like the mytouch and cliq, etc.. are gonna get **** for support)

I haven't put JI6 yet, but good lord the lag is horrible. I mean I came from the G1, and if i'm complaining then you know something is wrong. I don't understand how Samsung managed to mess up some amazing hardware. I'm savvy enough to root and run custom ROMs, but I just don't want to anymore, i'd like my device to just work.

It "Just" works
[Vibrant General] kgbkny:
Agreed 100%. I've had a few coworkers asking me about the Vibrant, and I told them not to get it. Although the JI6 has definitely improved the GPS performance by allowing the phone to actually lock onto satellites, the accuracy of the GPS is still way off. Also, the lag wasn't as bad prior to JI6. After the JI6, it's borderline intolerable. Absolutely everything lags, from homescreen switching to apps starting up. Yes, I've cleared the cache, but it still doesn't help.

The hardware of the Vibrant is amazing. However, when you fill up a Ferrari with 87, what do you expect to happen? I've flashed custom roms and various fixes, but I'm tired of all that. This was the first and definitely the last Samsung device for me.
[Vibrant General] designerfx:
bahahahaha honestly?

Vibrant is so much faster than every phone out there that even with some gps issues, it really just runs noticeably better at everything. Battery life, gaming performance, etc.

I might replace it GPS it doesn't get completely fixed soon, but I won't lie and say that I'm unhappy with it along with some backwards car analogy.
[Vibrant General] kgbkny:
Prior to the Vibrant's release, I did a lot of reading up on the Galaxy S series and couldn't wait to get my hands on a U.S. version. When the Vibrant came out, I really wanted to love that phone, despite all its shortcomings, even the GPS issue. Unfortunately, the handling of the issue and the eventual JI6 update (which, by the way, does NOT fix the lack of GPS accuracy - it only allows the phone to finally get a satellite lock) caused me to question the quality of Samsung products.

As far as speed of the phone is concerned, my wife's G2 blows the Vibrant out of the water, in terms of performance. I've run various apps on both phones side by side, and the G2 outperforms the Vibrant each time. I know that a lot of users attribute this to the fact that the G2 is loaded with 2.2, but let's not forget that the G2 also doesn't have the ridiculous RFS system that Samsung insisted on using in the Galaxy S phones.

I really don't think that my car analogy is ridiculous - the Vibrant has top-notch hardware, but the firmware that's used to run it is sub-par. I'm glad that you like your Vibrant; however, it's a phone that was supposed to have been great, but all the issues have made it fall short of that goal.

[Vibrant General] rudeguy:
cause I suck at updating :)

My last post in this thread. I might still jump into SVAD to help out n00bs. I really do appreciate all the work that Bionix and his team do. I just hated that phone. Its a great phone for someone that's more audio/video focused. I'm basically color blind so the screen wasn't that big of a deal. I do miss the brightness but I'm a cube dweller...I'm not outside that much :D

Again..thanks for all the work you guys are doing. Please don't feel like I'm putting any of you down.

Hello:

I try use the GPS of Sprint Hero in Argentina (there are no operators that use CDMA)

and I can not find the satellite signals, what I can do?

Thanks in advance

Gps will not work without a network location first. You may be able to connect to a wifi and it work, maybe.

Try to use the GPS while connected to wi fi and have not had luck. There fix something?
[Hero CDMA General] stayclean:
Are you using a custom ROM, or just stock 2.1?
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
Probably nothing you can do. The gps hardware is not powerful enough to work without a network location.
[Hero CDMA General] pablo2m:
Today i'm using CM6 but try with the original sprint rom
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
my thoughts are...

GPS works.. but without data it has no reference.

Maps must be downloaded via some internet connection. Maybe a wifi can help u.

or

you can download a stand alone GPS map app. CoPilot is a good one, but cost $30.
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
Yeah, but the gps can't even find a lock without a recent network signal to tell it where to start looking. It's not a full on gps antenna.
[Hero CDMA General] droideveloper:
I have been traveling around the world recently with my EVO and using the GPS to do so. It's GPS chip is no better than the Hero's I believe.

Things to keep in mind, without aGPS help, it can take these things up to 30 minutes to find your correct location. Usually it takes 4 strong signals to pinpoint it. Download GPS Status from the market and it will show you all of the satellites it is picking up as well as the strengths and you will know when you have a lock. It will also allow you to keep the phone awake and the gps active until it gets a fix. This is probably your main problem. If the phone is not actively using the gps, it turns off the chip and never gets a chance to get a fix.

You need to run GPS status preferably when you are connected to a wifi signal and outside with a clear shot of the sky. It can take anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 minutes depending on if you are on a wifi connection, how far away you are from the last known lock stored in the chip (GPS Status will display this for you) and also how far from the equator you are, etc. If you are very far south in argentina it can be a LOT more difficult GPS to work... I noticed my GPS had waaay more trouble up in sweden than it did down in central europe.

Also, Download mapdroyd and get the maps for the area you are in. It works pretty well for a free locally stored map app. GPS Status also allows you to add pins/labels to gps coordinates and then do a radar type guidance back to them. Between these two tools and now knowing how to connect your phone, you should never get lost again, providing your battery does not die. Luckily I brought 4 extra batteries with me!
[EVO 4G General] mmarcus:
Hey all,

Loving my Evo (running fresh 3.2 for battery life). One thing I miss about my old Pre was the integrated messaging app -- from one screen I could manage sms and gchat and have one integrated message inbox for them all. I find android's approach a bit kludgy in comparison.

Anyone have any thoughts/advice/recommendations?
[Wildfire General] zephyri-xr:
Hi guys.

I wanted to listen some FLAC with my Wildfire so I tested three free players which is on Market: Meridian, AMPlayer, andLess. I used the phone a lot before every test so I could get some realistic results. All of them were laggy :/ but I'm searching for best.

Meridian: Was the best of the three. Lagged lesser than the others. It has the best browsing feature. I wished that it gets browsing like TCPMP 0.81 which is on WM.

AMPlayer: 2nd less lagger of the three. It has a weird annoying and sucking browsing which pushes you to create a playlist :/ And I didn't like it :D

andLess: Most lagger of the three. Has a simple browsing which is better than AMP's. Worst thing about it is appers in notifications instead of ongoing so I hated it :D

Winner: Meridian. Until the CorePlayer released i think :D

Of course I can't get better quality than MP3 with Wildfire's stock speaker but I can listen them with headphones or power speakers. And I thought that can we replace the speaker with a better one?
[Wildfire General] genericmann:
I tried Meridian - works flawless :) Thank you for your review. I'm now listening only to flac format :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AER0:
1/4 of the time when I start up apps or games that include processing power and full screen usage,

the phone keeps lagging or crashing.

For example, I start up a game, the screen goes black for about 2 minutes then the game starts

(with additional lag during loading and gaming as well) or I try to get out via the menu button but

the response is extremely laggy.

Currently running stock firmware from i9000m and RyanZA's OCLF 2.0

(Rooted, ext2 tools, OCLF V2.1+)

and about ~100 apps/games installed.

Anyone know if there are ways to check and fix the integrity of files on the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GammaPaladin:
I'm thinking of installing the Cyanogen ROM on my MyTouch 3G 1.2, since the OTA FroYo update still has no official release date.

If I use UniversalAndRoot to get root, I should be able to use one of the root required backup apps to make a full ROM backup of the stock ROM for later reversion, yes? Because when the OTA update is released I'd want to use that instead of Cyanogen.

hey guys, just saw this on pocketnow.com so thought id forward it here, thats if its not already on here somewhere.

"An updated ROM is now available for HTC HD2 users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience". There are some changes mentioned though as this version includes all previously released patched and fixes, faster searching and locating of Contacts and, the interesting stuff, "enhanced handling for CPU processing that will quicken the background processes allowing for an overall improved experience". While this update is not intended for US (T-Mobile) HD2 devices, European Leos will have their version numbers boosted to major 3.14 with minor 2 for Norway, Spain, Portugal, France, Sweden and generic English.

Note: This update is not intended for use on T-Mobile(US) HTC HD2, and doing so may have undesired side effects.

[General Topics] pchaubal89:
ok im a noob and i dont know much but jtag (joint test action group) ports are ic debug ports for most of the embedded systems and are a IEEE standard.

Check wikipedia for jtag

Now if a galaxy s bootloader gets corrupted, there's no way the device is going to start. But using these jtag test ports we can flash the correct bootloader back onto the device. So at least the phone can be started for flashing the firmware.

Google for the riffbox method to flash the bootloader onto the galaxy s.

Similarly if the same unfortunate thing happens to a wave and its bootloader gets corrupted we can restore it directly without starting the device up.

Google the method to flash the bootloader onto the samsung wave using the riffbox.

Now along this train of thought if we flash the galaxy s bootloader instead of the wave bootloader into the wave using the jtag ports, the software shouldn't come to know the difference since the device will be powered down and the jtag ports provide unrestricted direct access to the internal memory of the device.

Basically:

1. Bootloaders can be loaded directly using the jtag ports.

2. If the bootloaders are in place there shouldnt be any problems for flashing the firmware.

3. If the device thinks its a galaxy s just because of a bootloader change, who are we to blame.

4. If the procedure fails, the correct bootloader can always be flashed back to the device.

Please can someone who has the riffbox try this and if it does work i just need a video as a proof of concept that it is possible.
