[Vibrant Themes and Apps] All~G1:
On older "legacy" phones that were fighting for thier share of less then 128mb of RAM I could understand why you would need to free RAM (even though android does it in its own way). On the newer model phones I dont see a need unless you are loading every single screen possible with widgets & have tons of services running in the background.

Between a shortcut to "running services" and the new Task manager, you can see exactly what APPS & SERVICES are still running and which ones are using the CPU.

Simply put.... What app, or appssss for that matter, are you going to load that is going to need all 100+mb of RAM to run????
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Have you all not noticed the JI6 task killer shows CPU %... the ONLY thing that matters. I have never seen an app taking up my CPU... that's because android is doing what it's supposed to.

Do NOT use a task killer.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
Instead of writing all "Task Killers" off as bad...

You should generally refrain from use of task killers that automatically kill tasks or provide an "End All" functionality. However, I like AppSwipe (from the Market) which is more focused on "Task Switching" than anything else. It can be launched from long pressing the Search key. If you must kill tasks (limited functionality for this is available though the app), only killing the tasks you start (one at a time) is encouraged.

That's my take, anyhow...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
^ you suggested something that is already built into our phone. No need for an app.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] oka1:
Couple of things

If you get Watchdog or task manager or alike you will notice that when things are open it provides how much ram is being occupied and how much CPU (usually in %) is being burdened.

So you will notice that Almost all of the programs will be held in TSR (terminate and stay resident) type of stat use, but typically, do not need cpu resources.

So, in other words unless it is using resources like cpu or ram I wouldn't give it a worry
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kuhan:
Yeah, you can get your last 6 opened apps by long pressing the Home key...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ultra spikey:
Task killers now, are more for saving battery if anything. Apps that are written to stay running in the background are definitely going to kill battery.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
Seriously? I did no such thing. If you think that just having a limited "recent history" of apps that were running but may not necessarily be currently running at the time of display is the same thing as something like AppSwipe then just ignore my whole previous post. It was meant for those who aren't satisfied by merely long pressing home and want an actual task switcher instead.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
Task Killers drain your battery faster than letting apps run in the background.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ld006:
No it doesn't. Provide some facts to back up that claim please.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
That's reminds me...ideally if you must use one then at least choose one that can be invoked "on demand" by a hardware button / key when you need it and then ends itself immediately when you're done with it.

Does anyone know where i would put the APK and odex files in a Captivate to get this working?
[Fascinate General] sonofskywalker3:
you would need to put them in /system/app which requires root. that should work if you're running stock rooted. if you're running a deodexed system then you'll need a deodexed .apk or it will start rebooting.

So you can turn your phone off and on again without problems on another ROM?

It might be one of those peculiar problems with your phone. Auto-Rotate, or landscape in general doesn't work on my phone when using OpenDesire for example.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuskerWebhead:
I've got a strange issues and, unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure when it started. When I do a reboot or a shutdown of my phone it will not power back on after it shuts down. I can't push the power button to make it power back on. I have pull the battery first, then it will power back on without any issues.

I honestly don't reboot or shutdown my phone very often, so I don't really know when this may have started. I'm running Uncommon Sense v1.1 with the stock kernel. I also have a custom Boot Animation and Splash screen. I know I've done successful boot/restarts with the custom splash screen and with Uncommon Sense v1.0. Booting into Bootloader or Clockwork seems to work fine.

Any suggestions on what I should check?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HuskerWebhead:
I figured this out. I upgraded to Clockwork 2.5.0.5 a few days ago just prior to me noticing this issue. I downgraded back to 2.5.0.1 and everything seems to be working again. Weird.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] socrated13:
Hi guys,

So I recently flashed to the latest ChuckDroidRom and have had no problem so far except that my battery never charges past 68%.

I believe this is because that was the battery level when I flashed the rom...and I'm not sure how to fix this.

If I turn the phone completely off, charge until the phone is 100%(green light), and boot into the spl screen and then flash the rom again will it reset my battery indicator to 100%?

Just an idea, if anyone knows what to do please let me know thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reycharlesconrad:
If you are using the clockwork recovery image, just choose "wipe battery stats" option there to reset your battery stats OR you can delete the batterystats.bin in data/system if you are rooted. try to search this forum using "batterystats.bin" as keyword. Hope this helps!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Screemi:
turn your phone off, charg it till the led turn from amber to green, then boot android. now it should charge till 100%.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Try to charge it to 100% when it's off. Then boot to WinMo and use your phone till it dies (reaches 0%). Now charge it again when it's shut down.

Boot to WinMo and then to Android. That should reset your battery information. At least it worked for me.

Cheers

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddatearz:
Hi, I am swapping my phone out for a replacement but haven't rooted my slide since june and since then there have been a bunch of methods developed. I originally used eugenes with the eng build. Gonna root my new one and do a nandroid back to cm 6 but I have to root first. Is eng still necessary? I remember doing the boot loop unplug replug blah blah but since june what's the fastest simplest way to root? Is eng still required? Or is it just still the best method? I'm a flashing addict btw. Changes roms frequently. Thanks for your input. Maybe the mods can make one thread with all rooting methods compared for people without hours to search and read all of them scattered around the forum
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:

That's not a bad idea, we have a ROM Bible why not ask the Mods to make a ROOT Bible and sticky it in the forum.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
Because all the methods, other than nbetcher's, are either outdated or don't work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cingall:
Personally I don't recommend any other root guide than nbetcher's...BUT let me ask you this: do other methods not work because they are outdated or are they just outdated methods that still work?

The loop method worked before the OTA update.

Thanks!!!

Thanks everybody for your responses, honestly I'm lazy and would have just done the same as i did before I can honestly say that you guys have saved me a world of aggravation!! My wife too cause she hears all my *****ing, lol. nbetchers method seems so drawn out. I completely forgot about the last OTA update as I have been running eugene's roms since june. just recently switched to a cm nightly. my new phone will be here on wednesday so I'll be sure to post progress but i'll start with nbetchers method (much props btw, from the look of it it seemed difficult to accomplish!). Lets keep the slide alive!! @ least till the christmas time phones are cheap and the summer releases are here...lol

*EDIT* After rereading nbetchers method it actually looks really straightforward. Thanks NB!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
I disagree with nbethers being "drawn out". Hell, the original method was a PITA since you had to first coyp some files over, then get adb loop to work, then copy more over at a precise time etc etc...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddatearz:
Ya I pretty much retracted that statement. It seems really easy compare to the old original rooting method. Much props to the dev!!! Thanks for the first response too fermonky for pointing me in the right direction

^I used that to root my phone and it worked fine. I did this method cause i needed a visual of how to do it cause im a noob.

Then i came here and updated with this.

(for some reason it wont let me post link so look up - #TeamFenix v2.0 - Updated 9/14 - WiFi issue resolved!

and do that update

I did a nandroid backup for my phone the updated with that. and now im running froyo 2.2 on my phone and loving it. Although my market place seems diffrent. Like it came with a diffrent market than the sense. but overall its great. No problems with it.

Hope it helps.
[HD2 General] maseo:
Ok, i've given up.

My HD2 is driving me nuts, i've been taking it for granted for a long time, but i've decided to send my HD2 for repairs.

Maybe some users can identify themselfs in my symptoms and perhaps go for a repair as well. I'll try to keep you guys up to date on this situation.

Status:

18/10 - Received my repair ticket. Scheduled pickup tomorrow between 08:00 and 10:00 GMT +1.

19/10 - Phone got picked up by courier service, 8.30AM in the morning.

20/10 till 25/10 - No change in status and/or picked up!

26/10 - Decided to call after a prolonged status update. Summary of conversation: "Yes, everything is fine. No the status hasn't been changed, but you should receive your phone back in about a total of 2 weeks, so somewhere next week i guess."

27-10 till 2/11 -- No change in status and message.

3-11 - Received a package back with my repaired phone! Results: Boardswap, phone shutdown while diagnosing at the repair center. They even replaced my camera lens!

Total repair time due: 15 days

The following below describes the problems that occur (allot!), perhaps you can identify yourself in this as well.

Issie:

-	Phone restarts (randomly) and holds at the HTC boot logo when back(bottom)cover feels warm-to-hot.

-	Phone reboots when back(bottom)cover is warm, but not hot enough to hang at HTC boot logo, but soon after booting to Windows mobile, the device may reboot again.

Happens when:

- Browsing Internet (3G/HSDPA)

- Listening to Music (through SD card)

- Playing a game

- Having a (long) phone call the device

(temporarily) fix for issue:

1. Do a ‘Battery-Pull’ (extracting the battery) which shuts down the device.

2. Let it cool down for a couple of minutes until the back(bottom)part doesn’t feel warm enough anymore.

3. Re-insert battery, and restart phone.

4. If cooled down enough, the phone will restart correctly when powering up the device, until issue happens again, where step 1 needs to be done again.

The above mentioned issue don’t happen when the devise isn’t put under ‘load’ (I.e: use applications/browse(the web)/music etc). Putting the phone in sleep/standby or just sending a text message will not reboot the phone.

Tried the following official fixes:

-	Hard Resetting the device > Issue remains.

-	Updating to a new (official) ROM (RUU_Leo_HTC_NLD_1.48.404.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe )

> Issue remains, even after a Hard reset with above noted ROM.

-	Formatting and/or removing the SD card from the Device > Issue remains.

Tried the XDA fixes:

-	Different Radios: Any radio in the official HD2 Radio topic

-	Many different Roms

-	Formatted the SD card, tried a different one, and even None.

Concluding:

Seeing to have tried all options relating to a software issue, I think this might be a hardware issue.

Contact with HTC:

Having sent some messages over with HTC they sent me this last message:

I have the exact same problem and tomorrow it is going to the repair center. Unfortunately I have a crack in the digitizer, I hope they don't use it as pretext to charge me extra!
[HD2 General] maseo:
My screen is still in mint condition, only thing that cracked if my camera-glass due to a bump against my table at home.. :confused: But more then that it's nothing.

I've noticed more people having the problem, so i thought maybe more people have my issues as well and could go for a repair after seeing this topic.
[HD2 General] relic:
They will blame your problem on humidity in the device after the camera glass cracked. Did you change the camera-glass? I suggest you do that before you send it for repair otherwise you have to pay for the repairs as it does not fall under warranty (check on ebay for camera glass lens).

I think we're both in the same pickle:/

I am crossing my fingers they won't charge me.
[HD2 General] maseo:
I haven't. And a device breaking down from the camera end is highly unlikely.

It's impossible for me to replace it now as it's being picked up tomorrow morning. If they have to repair it, so be it. As long as it's not a outrageous high price..

You got experience in this, them blaming me in case of humidity, or you just guessing?
[HD2 General] relic:
After speaking with their customer rep they pointed out to me that it is possible that the device malfunctions because of cracks leading to humidity and temperature problems. And that is not under warranty.

If your camera lens is cracked, it is easy for them to blame it on humidity due to the crack. This is a possible scenario, I can't predict but if we learned anything from repair under warranty, companies will to blame it on the customer before they fix it under warranty.

My advice to you is to cancel the pick up and reschedule another one later, go to ebay and buy a second hand glass lens and glue it yourself. It cost you less than 5$ to do that. Better than relying on their repair and end up paying hundreds of dollars. This way you eliminate the excuse of them blaming the defect on you.
[HD2 General] maseo:
Sounds plausible, but that wouldn't make sense in the way the device is manufactured. The CPU/GPU/Radio base i at the bottom. Any malfunctioning due to possible humidity in the camera would only lead to a malfunctioning camera, and that's not the case at this time.

Given, if i had more time i might have placed it, but i'm not in the occasion to do that right now.

I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed, im more afraid they'll go at you for a broken digitizer..
[HD2 General] relic:
I wish you the best. Let's keep each other updated on the situation. I am curious to hear good news!
[HD2 General] maseo:
The same goes to you! I'm very curious on what will happen..!

[HD2 General] dipaolnv:
Double check this. Pull your battery and make sure that none of the pins are bent and touching each other. This has caused some issues, but not exactly the one you're describing but it can't hurt to check. If they are bent, straighten them out and see if the issue is resolved.
[HD2 General] maseo:
Thanks, but to no avail.

i also have a battery problem battery seems to be dying. under 30% phone becomes unstable. also sometimes doenst want to load or boot.

ive mailed custumer service, it must be part of the warranty so i want a new battery
