Just got mine and ran Linpack and my phone is only hitting around high 18 max. I thought these things were pumping out over 30 easy?

Edit: Task kill, battery pull and a couple of minutes quiet time and consistent 32 to 33!

Also 57.4 Neocore, 1592 Quadrant and charges significantly faster then the Vibrant.

How is heat for you guys?

PS - build quality is excellent. I have an iPhone 4 and a Samsung Vibrant and the G2's screen has nothing to envy. I actually prefer it to the Vibrant for color and pixel density and it is reaaaallly close to the iPhone aside from resolution which in practice is really not a ton different.

Anyone out there who can recommend a good locator app for a lost phone? I'm specifically looking for one that can remotely turn on GPS as I keep it off most of the time. Thanks for any suggestions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
If you are rooted, then mobiledefense does the job, use the version that you flash in recovery and it'll remotely activate the gps if its deactivated. If you're not rooted though, then the best it can do is cell tower triangulation like google maps when gps is off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualSportDad:
there is a version that you flash in recovery? i have mobile defense and it's great, seems very accurate even before i was rooted.

Yes go to there website and download then flash the zip in recovery, uninstall mobile defense first of course. Doing this installs mobile defense as a service which then can turn on gps remotely. Must be rooted.

Tasker is a good option. You can just send your phone a specific text, and it will turn on the GPS and WiFi, get its location, then text back a Google Maps link. I've also got a profile that turns on sound to maximum and starts playing my most annoying ring tone when I send it another text.

Hey folks,

I understand that Android keeps apps in available ram and frees them up as needed, but what I don't understand is how come when I run adv. task killer, there are always apps running that I never loaded (like social hub, email, etc.).

Does the galaxy s load up particular apps based on previous usage history or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that was the original idea, but in reality it doesn't work that way

chances are you run out of RAM before it frees up anything if at all

the only certain way is to use AutoRunKillers apps and Task Managers apps to keep the software under control
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stickfinger:
I agree with AllGamer. Yes its supposed to load and unload tasks and services as it needs and thinks it needs but as AllGamer pointed out it doesn't work so well.

The best thing ive found so far and i'm sure it was AllGamer who put me on to this in his recommended apps list, is to use Autokiller Memory Optimizer. You will need to be rooted though, the program tweaks how the already built in task manager works in android. Ive set mine to moderate in the presets of the program, been running it for about a week and its been absolutely great.

The main thing to remember with good task managers and android is that you are not trying to 'free up ram' but to use it more effectively
[Epic 4G General] jojo08:
is there a way to check the amount of battery remaining, either in percent or time left. when i go to settings->about phone->status, it just says not charging, i can also go to battery use under about phone but that doesnt tell me the remaining percent or time left. if i need an app from the market recommend any?

also, is there a quick way to toggle between having sound on w/ no vibrate and sound off with vibration of calls AND text messages? again if i need an app recommend any?

thats all i have so far, just trialing this out, only had it for 3 days now, gps is spotty so far but other than that its a beast
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
Battery Indicator for battery

AudioManager for audio in general. I thought I remembered seeing a setting that lets you tie both call volume and notification volume to the same slider. But I don't see it right now.

On a related note though, while battery indicator is great, can you get rid of the default battery indicator so there isn't 2 of them?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Getting rid of the default battery icon involves changing the framework. This is the link to a mod that will change the default battery icon to a percentage.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793805

But you have to be using a de-odexed ROM for it to work. If you ask some of the Theme'rs, they might be able to explain how to get rid of the default battery icon.

OK guys (and gals) I'm a noob and totally confused myself trying to read 1000s of pages here in the forum. I'm currently running OTA 3.26.651.6 and understand there's a 3.29.****.5 OTA now available. I tried TheBiles idiot proof guide but the link in step 30 is broke. Most of the guides out there seem to be out of date. So I'm looking for some advice from the PROS on which to use and how to use. Remember im a noob so keep it simple. Also is there a glossory about all this like:

What is;(and what do they benefit)

ClokWorkMod

NAND

Rom Manager

ect.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmen:
unrevoked 3.21

You run it on your computer, plug in your phone, and follow the directions. You get full root and ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone, as well as unrevoked forever. It's super easy.

Pros:

It's super easy

It gives you full root

It gives you root forever (unrevoked forever)

Takes care of everything (root, custom recovery, "S-OFF" AKA unrevoked forever)

Thoroughly tested

Cross-platform support

You can actually set any custom recovery image you want through the menu

Cons:

You need a computer
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokinbanger:
sturmen - thanks for the quick reply. Also should i update to OTA 3.29*** before or after (or never) i use this method?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmen:
Don't update through Sprint (ever). That's not how we roll around here. You're gonna want to root your phone as it is, then flash a custom ROM. You can tell which ones are based on the latest OTA on that wiki page; flashing one essentially "updates" you to that version. Personally, I recommend Fresh Evo 3.3.0.1 if you like Sense, or CyanogenMod v6.0.0 if you don't.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sab3r One:

Straight from Unrevoked 3.21 RootWiki: here

Does this permanently unlock the NAND flash on my phone?

Yes. The default configuration of this tool disables the phone's security, which also disables the NAND locks placed on the storage by the bootloader. If you choose not to disable security, the /system partition will be read-only after the tool completes.

Using Old Backup's with this?

Here is my question on this. I just recieved my new phone today and I am planning on using this method to root my phone. Before I gave up my old phone I did a Nand backup which has all of my programs my "fresh rom" and ect. on it. Now on the old phone I used the Toast method and nand unlock to root my phone. Will I be able to just do a normal nand restore after I use the unrevoked3 to unlock my new phone? Or do I have to start all over? I checked on the sd card in the Nandroid backup is there. Thank you in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drakhar:
Thanks.

I read that the other day, but I kept reading posts stating to run unrevoked forever after unrevoked3 to make it permanent. Was a little confused... I guess unrevoked 3.21 includes unrevoked forever, lots of contradicting posts though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JtotheEremy:
one thing about that wiki that confuses me is when it talks about .ZIP ROMS, once i use unrevoked can I use Fresh's .ZIP?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICEReaction:
Unrevoked 3 was pre-Unrevoked 3.21. That did not do Nand unlock and S-Off and required you to flash Unrevoked Forever to get Nand unlock and S-Off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmen:
.zip ROMs are flashed via recovery. unrevoked should give you CWM recovery, and therefore you should be able to flash ROMs (including Fresh). Make sure you back up, and also wipe data, cache, and dalvik-cache before flashing. If you need help with that, here's a step-by-step:

Have full root with NAND unlock, by unrevoked 3.21 (recommended) or otherwise

Download the ROM you want in .zip format (Go for Fresh!)

Put the .zip into the root of your microSD card

Install Quick Boot from the Market

Use Quick Boot to enter recovery

Go to nandroid, then make a backup

Go to wipe, and wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik-cache

Select "Flash zip from SD card"

Select the one you downloaded

Let it run

Reboot your phone

Congratulations! You are now part of the cool kids club!

Alternately, purchase ROM Manager Premium which allows you to download, backup, wipe and flash all in one step from within Android and without interacting with recovery. $4.99 and totally worth it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shane112358:
OK, but what about those of us that don't want a custom ROM? Is there any reliable way of getting from root 3.26 to root 3.29 without a data wipe?

As far as I can tell my best reliable option is:

1) Use Titanium Backup to backup all my apps/settings

2) Use unrevoked3 and the stock 3.29 ROM here to upgrade to 3.29 and regain root

3) Reinstall Titanium and restore my apps/settings

Is this correct, or is there an easier way?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiffany84:


S-off is unrevoked forever. So if it shows S-off in the boot loader then your good, u don't need to do anything else.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jones79:
It is my understanding that as long as you have the same Recovery flashed (Clockwork or Amon RA) as you did on your old phone you should be able to copy the backups to your SD card (maintaining the same directory structure as they were before) and restore them without issue.

Careful! If you used Amon RA 1.80 (it backs up WiMax, including RSA keys) to backup your old phone and then restore to your new phone the old WiMax will overwrite your new phones keys...no 4G then and as far as I know no way to fix it. Believe you could remove the WiMax.img from backup and restore everything else.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgifford:
I used unrevoked, if you run into errors or problems search Google because we have all experienced them before and is most likely because you installed HTC sense.

I'm actually surprised at how tedious this stuff is compared to the Palm Pre. I figured coming over to Android was going to make the root process the same if not easier than the Palm.

From what I recall I used a Amon RA to root my 3.26 Evo. I would like to get to 3.29 rooted (Stock) but keep my apps/settings (either without wiping or having a reliable backup). I have already backed up with Titanium. Depending on where I look I am getting conflicting advice on what to do step by step......any help would be appreciated.

Believe that ROM had SU app but you may need to reinstall...DL SU app from market and run...also could load ROM manager from market and use the fix permissions option if force closes is an issue.

BTW did you also update your radio/wimax/pri with newest versions...don't believe they were in ROM I pointed you to. Look in your settings>about phone>software to see...if required they're available on XDA Dev area.

I fixed it by opening up the su app itself and it prompted me to update to a newer su binary. That did it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crackmunky:
Heya guys,

I had my G1 on charge on my desk and accidently stepped on the cable and it fell about 3ft onto wood flooring. Initially the phone wouldnt boot past the g1 screen, but it would go into fastboot strangely. So anyway after a while I figured out I need to squeeze the bottom right of the phone, opposite where you insert the sim card for it to boot.

Ive managed to get it working by stuffing it with paper to keep pressure on that spot and putting the battery case on. My question is what is under that which would cause the g1 screen to load and allow fastboot but not load up any further? I find it hard to understand o.0

Many thanks,

Apple has made its money, ipod, ipad, iphone, just about everything we have today has somthing for an "i" device.

Androiod is a great OS but after 4 years of all previous iphones i must say iOS can't be surpassed. =/

Maybe give android 4 years and iOS would be completely removed off the grid seeing how successful and convienient it has been.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] byrdman443:
I have had an unlocked iphone with tmobile since the 2g model. IOS is a great os, and if tmobile had a their own iphone, I probably would still have my iphone. Just dealing with having to unlock it and worring I might brick my just became too much, and it was time for a switch so I got the hd2 and discovered andriod which is a great os, but IOS definitely has it beat. Iphones are just very user friendly. The only reason those numbers from that link are in such a favor of android is because iphone's are only sold on att. If you open that market up to all carriers the Iphone would be on top.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Snarksneeze:
I disagree. I believe that the reason Android is on top is because it's not a phone, it's an operating system.

Apple and AT&T simply can't create hundreds of different versions of the iPhone in order to compete with Android. Instead, they are focused on improving the one they have, as they should be.

I'm really confused by all of the "Android vs iPhone" arguments out there. News flash folks: Android isn't a phone!

You can't compare apples and oranges (no pun intended). Now, put the HD2 or the Nexus One or the Droid up against the iPhone 4 and then come back and let me know how those numbers went.

This time next year, I want to hear how Phone 7 does against Android. That's OS vs OS and thus a valid argument. Android vs iPhone is not.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] byrdman443:
I would have to disagree with you there. iOS 4 is an operating system on a phone i.e. Iphone 4. Just because the os is locked to one phone or carrier doesnt mean it is less of an os. Just like mac operating system's are only on macs, it doesnt make it less of an os then windows. iOS 4 is even used in the iTouch and iPad. My god I sound like a complete apple fag lol. I wasnt trying to bag andriod. I am pretty content with sticking with android, its has alot of potential. Which alot of it has already been shown to us, especially in the ability of porting it to different phones that arent native for android.
