[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
compared to the iphone4 problem this is nothing. You have to litteraly cover the top half of the phone with your hand. When does this even happen? Not even when i text in landscape mode, do i hold the entire top half with my hand, my fingers are scattered over the top half, but it doesn't completely cover it.

I've tried to see if the same thing happens when texting, when holding the phone in calling position, browsing internet in landscape, and playing games in landscape. Doesn't seem to effect the signal since the top half was never completely covered.

on the iphone4 though, when holding the phone in the calling position, it causes the bars to drop. Same if you try to text.
[EVO 4G General] v_lestat:
The death grip on the evo is on the top where the friggin antennas should be and where your hand is not going to be unless you have a real big set of meat hooks.

Cup your hand over thentop and signal goes bye hye
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
The Evo only behaves like this because the antenna is weaker by design to compensate for it being near your head at all times on a call. Just like the G2, if you cover it signal drops drastically. This is horrible for use in landscape mode especially for any phone with a keyboard.

A phone designed with the antenna at the bottom doesn't drop signal as much when you cover it in normal operation. The iPhone 4 is a completely different situation.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
not sure how you hold your phone when you text but my hand barely even covers the back of the phone. My palms are at the top and bottom part of the sides, and then my fingers are scatter over the back. Shouldn't cause any problems when holding in landscape or texting, hence why this was just brought up.
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
That's nice, but not everyone holds their phones the way you do. It's a shocker I know!

I have noticed under the service tests, there is one for battery. And the mAh is always at 950 regardless of what capacity I throw at it since I have one at 1420 mAh and another at 930 mAh.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Maybe it's hardcoded? LOL.. Maybe the dev working on that part hardcoded it so he can tend his farmville or cafe world (which is maybe the reason why updates don't arrive in time):D... He/She thinks no one would try out other batteries...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Raph4:
other tips find on internet

Safe Mode, re-starts and when the phone vibrates, press and hold down left (the pictures) until it appears the sign “safe mode”

Using the phone without SIM, put the airplane mode option (left on the WiFi if you need), turn off and remove the SIM, the turn on

Test Menu, press the following sequence of buttons: menu / back / back / menu / back / menu / menu / back

Re-start, go to Settings / store / Restore factory default

Left-handed unlocking bar, press the top end of the bar and turn unlock

The Service menu is actually an APK and a shortcut to it can be easily done on LauncherPro (and probably other launchers supporting shortcuts to Activities).

How to do it on LauncherPro:

Create new shortcut > From the Select shortcut menu select: Activities > Service Menu > com.sonyericsson.android.servicemenu.ServiceMainMenu

Don't know if the APK can be successfully installed on a custom ROM :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] KickButts:

*#*#7378423#*#*

how that will be in use
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
That doesnt work.

only the first post works, but not the back menu thing. im using cm7 by naa and i guess what you guys have posted might work for the stock rom. doesnt work on custom roms.

*#*#4636#*#* that works. none other. maybe it is because of the custom rom.

Anyway, thanks all for the info.

Hi.

Due to the movement of the Huawei Devices (Not only Pulse/Pulse Mini), I want to request a generic Huawei forum for all devices, becouse we are poissoning the general android developing forum, and there's a lot of threads related on it.

Also there's some Huawei devices with similar specs that works with another ROMS, so thinks the best way to get organizated is to launch a new generic Huawei forums.

Where can I find the web site to download the android to hd2 file for USA hd2, and does it already contain the hspl 3 or do I have to down load that separatly ? Everytime I go to the xda site to down load the file it sends me to windows underground with lots of links that take me further away from what I am looking for. Theres lots of you tube videos that show how and what to do after you have the file but I need the file first before I can do anything, I dont care about the different roms for now I just want the correct download.

[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
I think it may be possible that it will be released next week.

All rumours have stated that Gingerbread will be ready/released in October. Paul O'Brien of MoDaCo posted on his Twitter, a week or so back, that there were gonna be big weeks ahead for Android and Windows Phone 7. Windows Phone 7 has officially launched so that is done, so just the big Android stuff is left which could be Gingerbread.

Also I think Gingerbread will actually be Android 2.3 and that Honeycomb will be Android 3.0. Andy Rubin mentioned 2.3 and 3.0 in a recent interview so as Gingerbread is coming out next, it must be 2.3!

All just speculation though! We'll find out next week!

EDIT: Just seen this article which states that video calling may be in Gingerbread and that several sources have said Gingerbread is going to “change the way we use our phones.”

Which generally means the full release won't be too far behind.

Besides, if it's really awesome, you can always recompile the SDK emulator code for the N1. It happened when 2.2 came out at least.

I also have had a few occasions where it swaps from speaker to earpiece and back again on its own!!

reboot download

hey guys.

i'm on CM6 final with the Snap v7.6 BFS kernel (no turbo).

i use SetCPU, 499-998 ondemand and 384mhz for screen off. this works fine for using the phone.

i ran quadrant like that and i got 14xx...i put it at 1.19ghz (both min and max) and on performance mode...and got 1668...so about a 200 point increase in quadrant.

however, in both an3DBench and Fps2D i got a slightly lower score while overclocked then while on ondemand mode at 200mhz less??

is setcpu really doing anything then?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Every phone responds to SetCpu differently. I look at its purpose more for improving battery life than performance. Our phones are pretty snappy to begin with. Also, Quadrant is a highly flawed application. I wouldn't rely on that to depict how well your phone is performing.

Sent from my HTC SUPERSONIC
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandpa:
I am not sure what exactly the latter 2 tests test but here's a guess : maybe they are testing the GPU performance and SetCPU probably does not affect the GPU frequency ? I know Quadrant is a bunch of tests that also include some CPU centric tests and that might explain the higher score.
