[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
ok i seriously need some help. MODs please delete this if you feel like it. but i really want to know the answer for this since i posted it in the OT but no one replied.

my problem is signal issue with the EVO roms. specially from Mdeejay EVO roms

i downloaded the cayanogen rom and i have no problem with the signal " specially if i use it in 2G connection. its almost all the time full bars. while on 3g it sometimes varies between 2, 3 or full.

however, with Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 1.6 Revolution" and the other "warm evo" rom the he made. i do have the signal problem .

it sometimes show to me no bars at all just dots. even tho, if i call, or someone call, it goes through ...i think lol

it keeps on playing with the bars.

whats up with that? i am using a Tmobile version of the phone. " no i am not in US but i wanted extra ram/rom

i have been told that the HD Euro version has better signal. is that bs ?

anyway please please please someone help me with my question about the signal. its killing me. i love this rom so much i want to keep it. even the wallpapers are ****ing amazing. but this signal bar thing is driving me crazy
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Life Engineer:
Honestly man i can't help you! I have signal issues also in all Android roms! I don't think Euro HD2 has a better signal!!! At least mine doesn't!

I feel so bad when i see an old nokia with a full signal and mine is 1 bar or none! I tried radio 2.12, 2.14, and 2.15 all the same and signal fluctuates a lot!

But i should tell you this: I like your nickname a lot!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
for startes, have you tried flashing a different radio?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i might be an idiot if i answer this honestly but so be it. i didnt really flash the system. my friend did it for me . he told me its the best and fastest rom available for HD2 to froyo " built in andriom app to boot also "

all i do is just change the andriod roms by changing the folder on SD card and it does the rest lol.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i see your from lebanon ? keefek 7abiby

anyway. actually if you install the cayanogen rom. and switch the network signal to 2G only. it never drops below 3 bars in my case. which is good for me " i dont use 3G at all. and never planing to. i have wifi all around me "
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hav0c:
I have the same problem with m-deejay builds.

The connection keeps dropping. Try using a darkstone build. Works fine for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
but i really like the evo theme the dude used. even the colors and everything. :/

its fast and stable without much of battery sucking.

if i put any other theme it will look desire. i dont want a desire i want EVO lol

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hav0c:
I've tried to solve it by using darkstone's kernel but this does not work as well.

Others have this problem as well if you search in m-deejay's threads. I think you should try solving your problem there :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i didn't know that there are other people who are having same problem.. i thought i am the only one and ur second in the whole world.

for period of time i thought my TMOB has a problem with the signal .

wtf i was searching in all his thread and i got tired after page 20 since i didnt see anything related.

ok i downloaded a program called no signal bar. from the market place.

it basically notify you when your phone is out of coverage.

and it works very well. so now. if i get a no signal bar from the rom, my signal notifier tell me that the phone is didnt lost signal. i try to make a call and it goes through. its accurate.

so i am happy for now. at least i am not afaird if losing signals when i see the fake bars from the rom playing .

i even tried to call my self when the signal no bars while the program " no signal bar"tells me i still have coverage. and it went through . i am happy panda... for now till i get a better fix for this
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hav0c:
3G does not work when the bars are not displayed.

You can see this in the phone info application when you type *#*#4636#*#*
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
1- for some reason this number doesnt work for me. i am using Tmobile HD2 and the Evo Rom . might have anything to do with it ?

2- i really dont care about 3g. i just dont want the signal bar to keep showing there is no signal with its 4 dots crap signal when there is in fact a very good signal.

its like how the iphone 4 used to display signal that is not true.

are we the only 2 here who have this problem ? lol might be defective phones? lol
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mynlal:
you can install the program called NETWORK from App store and basically change the setting to GSM (PRL) from that program
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hav0c:
I don't think there is anything wrong with the phone.

I never had any issues with Windows Mobile or with any other Android build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i have tried around 3 builds so far or 4.

the only builds that has perfect signal bar to me is Cayanogen Builds " where in the setting there is an option called " Use only 2G networks " and have that checked.

any other version " specially if its build based on EVO ? " has a problem for me.

i am surprised not many are talking about this really.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i cant find a program called " NETWORK" alone.

are you sure about the name ?

is it paid app ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] and2:
it´s called "secret setting"
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ll_l_x_l_ll:
for a second. i thought ur playing mind games lol.

but there is a program called secret phone setting. i tried that and i switched to GSM only.

i will give it few hours test and i will report back.

thank you for trying to help though. really

I have read all the threads, but as ever on the wonderful forum , they go off in all areas .

All I want to do is delete the APK's from the \system\app folder

I have Orange UK ROM ( 2.2) that works fab for me... but I'd like to delete some ofthe rubbish... ( stocks etc )

Will the "Unrevoked" work on my phone.... there seams to be some confussion now as if you need a gold card or not.

I do not want a new image , I do not want to unlock my phone .. I just want to delete the rubbish on the phone.

This also maybe in the wrong area. :)

Thanks for your help... just a simple yes or no will do .
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Download 'AndroidCommander' - it's a Windows-based app that basically uses adb but with a nicer GUI. You can then remove what you don't want quite easily and I don't think you have to be rooted
[Desire General] dgattenb:
stunning app.. but YOU NEED ROOT ACCES !!

Ant one else to my orginal question...??
[Desire General] EddyOS:
If you need to be rooted to use AndroidCommander (which just uses adb) then you'd need to be rooted to use adb as a standalone - which would lead to a no to your question...

I'm sure you don't need to be rooted to use adb, though
[Desire General] dgattenb:
Thanks, but Orange dont want a new rom .. will Unrevoked work with a gold card ... orginal question .....?????????????????????????????
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Ah, right!!!

You shouldn't need a gold card to root the phone, best thing is to wait for someone who has a branded Desire and see what they say. Mine was debranded and so didn't need one
[Desire General] gowm:
i rooted a branded desire with 2.2 froyo on orange using unrevoked, no problems, but if like me you want to remove the orange bloat ware, rooting alone wont let you, but it will let you flash a genetic rom

so in basic, orange froyo can be rooted with unrevoked without goldcard, but wont let you remove orange pish

Mike
[Desire General] Kizmet:
Anyone know how to remove the bloatware the easiest way, then?

I'd rather not have to flash a generic rom because I want to use some of Orange's facilities.. just not the game demos and other bloated apps.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You need to root using unrEVOked (which won't change anything bar giving root access) and then use AndroidCommander to remove the gumpf you don't want, leaving what you do!
[Desire General] dgattenb:
Yes yes yes , but will this work on an Orange UK Branded phone ? with out killing it ?
[Desire General] ste1164:
Yes it will work on an Orange phone.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Yes it will work otherwise I wouldn't have said to do it! :D
[Desire General] radine:
Once you have rooted with unrevoked you could try using titanium (from the market) to freeze or uninstall system apps. Sometimes its handy to freeze aps rather than uninstall them. Its less hassle than adb/adb commander but you may need the pay version of titanium.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
I get this :

The hbbot drivers worked and win xp sees phone correctly .

I then ran reflash.exe, came up after 5 mins Failed to flash recovery image .

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _sunz:
I'm sorry if this is somewhere, however, I can't find any cohesive info on it.

Is there a way to reduce the power consumption of the Evo 4g. I have done the typical power reduction actions like turning off unnecessary radios, dimming the screen a little. I only have the 3g radio run all the time. The phone is rooted however i just used the factory rooted rom. Is there a ROM that is geared towards low power consumption or some sort of app that will profile the phone for low power use by turning things off on a system level that I don't need?

Thanks for any help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oOflyeyesOo:
I would say the profiles on setcpu and juice defender will help you the most, juice defender can turn just about everything off while the screen is off.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnacles10:
Flash a different kernel. Undervolting seems to help with battery. Check out kings or Netarchys. A rom like fresh also provides a stock experience with little battery saving tweaks.

Oh and for future reference, questions like this should be in q n a
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownmc77:
Yah q & a blah blah blah, Instead can turn off mobile data always on instead of always on. That seems to help and definitely flash a different rom. Theirs plenty of roms with undervolting kernels.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
Hi I just bought a nexus one and was a little confused and was looking for some help. I looked around and couldn't find a solid answer. I want to root my nexus one running frg83 update. I saw there's a 1-click method recently made by I forget who which is supposed to work with almost all phones, nexus one included. Once I use that to root the phone, can I just download a rom, like evils desire rom, rename it to update.zip, put it on my SD card and flash through normal recovery? Sorry if that's a dumb question. Any help would be great. Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
You have to flash a custom recovery first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
Do u know which one works with this version of android? That ra one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
Yes, you could use the amon ra or the clockwork mod. Your choice.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
If it's a brand new Nexus One, it's probably SLCD, which means you can't use Clockwork until they make it compatible. The Amon recovery should work but it has to be 1.8 or up.

Also unless there's progress I'm unaware of, one click root won't work on this version. You'll have to follow the manual instructions for rageagainstthecage. And you can't use ROM Manager until Clockwork is fixed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
thanks for the help.. i used this to root and it worked: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

clockwork mod flashed too. it was a used nexus but i had google send me a replacement. still amoled i'm pretty sure. it has the red tint to it and blacks are really black so i think it's still amoled. anyways, so once it's rooted and i have the recovery flashed, i can just flash a rom right? no need for sd partitions or whatever?

[Hero CDMA General] Eric_1966_FXE:
OK, I did search for this before I posted so I hope I don't get anybody mad for starting a new thread if this has been covered.

Regarding security threats and android phones. I did see the thread about a malware program out of Russia affecting android phones (installed via a movie program?). But in general, security issues do not seem to be a big issue.

The other threads I've found seem to have conflicting opinions.

So my question(s) is, how much do you all worry about security issues? Does anybody use Lookout (free mobile security app)? I did see that it has high ratings on the market, but I put more stock in what this community has for opinions than the market users.

Again, if this has been covered to death and I missed it, I apologize.
[Hero CDMA General] dpeeps74:
I do have concerns over security and therefore really don't install many apps. Since I have had an android phone, my gmail account has been compromised once, allowing spam to be sent from my gmail account and also spam to be placed on my Blogger site. While I cannot be certain it was something on my phone that allowed this, I rarely use my computer to access any of my Google apps. I also had never had issues with any email or other accounts being compromised for as long as I've had a computer. I also rarely get spam. So while I can't be certain, the fact it showed my account being logged into by a mobile device in Malaysia makes me very suspicious.
[Hero CDMA General] Eric_1966_FXE:
Thanks for the reply. I take it you haven't used Lookout or any of the other security apps?

Lookout looks legit, but I am a little skeptical. Guess I'll wait and see if I get any other responses before I do anything with it.
[Hero CDMA General] dpeeps74:
I haven't tried it in the past, as I'm skeptical too. I went ahead and installed it though after my post just to see. It is now being installed by some of the carriers by default apparently and I guess has won some awards, so hopefully it's been poked at a bit by people to where it itself isn't a large threat. Figure if it doesn't impact performance a lot there can't be any harm in trying it. Now, as for how effective it really is, I'd imagine that's something many people will never know.
[Hero CDMA General] Eric_1966_FXE:
Again, thanks for your input.

Performance impact is basically what I was worried about. I actually installed it the other day but when I realized it was on ALL the time, I uninstalled it before really giving it a chance.

I guess it's worth a shot. I'll install it again tonight and run a couple before and after quadrant benchmarks to see how much of an impact.

If I don't get anybody else posting here, I'll still post my experience in a couple/few days, so if you're interested, check back later in the week.

Thanks dpeeps, have a good one.

[Hero CDMA General] Eric_1966_FXE:
Not paranoid .... just cautious.

There is so much good information on this site that when I search for something that sounds too good (for free), and I can't find anything, yes, I'm going to "err on the side of caution".

ngholson, thanks for the input.
[Hero CDMA General] ngholson:
you are welcome. i use it mostly for the lost feature. if i lose it i can activate the gps and locate it that way, and i can also make it scream (caution this is really loud, and the only way to stop it is a battery pull) if it is somewhere close to me. it is very effective.

EDIT: they changed the scream feature, now it will scream for 1 minute and you can stop it by turning the volume down on the phone.
