Awesome will check his thread now thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clivo360:
Since the video recording is now in .mp4 format after froyo, is the quality still the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NetCopAD:
3gp and mp4 are containers only. The quality depends on the method of compression and the bitrate. Haven't compared them, but noticed that JPM has a bug with audio sync on HD recordings.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_angel_moroni:
I am having a music stutter issue. I have read lots of related threads, but haven't been able to find too many (any except this one about sdcard problems: can't post link because I'm teh nub sauce, but the title is "Lingering EVO issues (SD Card, Camera, etc.)") that talk about the problem on the EVO. I am thinking it might not actually be a bug and could just be the fact that I have a crappy SD card (the one that came with the phone). I ran SD card speed test and got

10 MB/sec read

2 MB/sec write

which fits with the fact that it is a class 2 card. I do not get music skips that often, but get them particularly badly when I am downloading on 4g (which I do a lot using subsonic). I also think it could be because of a slow SD card because I have had problems with 720p video getting corrupted which apparently is a common symptom of slow SD cards. I do have 7 full homesceens with about 5 widgets. When music is skipping the whole phone is going laggy and slow, so maybe its processor speed? IDK. Has anyone else had this problem on an EVO?

Please halp.

Running newest FRESH rom, but it happenned on stock as well (actually one of the reasons I rooted).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tickitata:
Try upping the cache size to unlimited on subsonic. That did the trick for me.

If you ever want to delete music, just manually delete the subsonic folder using Astro or what have you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_angel_moroni:
But what about the fact that sometimes the normal music player will skip, again especially when I am using 4g? Is it possible that 4g is downloading so fast that my SD card is not capable of reading/playing 320 kbps mp3s and downloading on 4g at the same time? 4g speeds are about 2mbps (.25 MBps) and my write speeds are 2MBps (16mbps) so this doesn't seem like it could be the case, but maybe reading/writing at the same time significantly slows things down? I dunno.

Did you ever get stutters in the normal music player? Did it skip A LOT when you had a 4g connection?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tickitata:
I live in an area with no 4G coverage, so I doubt that's it. When I read your title, my first thought was "I bet he has subsonic installed".

I haven't read anything online about this, but I also came across this stuttering problem. It pissed me off to no end. What I ultimately noticed was that all the "stuttering" music was at some point downloaded via Subsonic (even if it is played with a different media player - Cubed in my case). At first I thought it was something to do with the data connection, but then I became suspicious of the cache size.

I suspect that Subsonic downloads the tracks as long as the cache is not full, but then if it becomes full halfway through downloading a track, it corrupts the mp3 with a skip (perhaps while it deletes another track in the cache).

Regardless, increasing the cache to unlimited is what fixed it for me. Give it a shot.

Btw: Using CM6, for what it's worth.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
I found that this was happening on the latest ota, so i downgraded and everything is working normally. There seem to be a couple of music problems with 3.29-although people aren't complaining that much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_angel_moroni:
I'll give it a try. I don't think it is a problem with the file itself, however, because I can play a song after everything is done downloading and it will work fine even if it was skipping before. It could be that between reading a 320kbps mp3, writing a new mp3 at 4g speeds, and deleting an old mp3 that the SD card is not fast enough?

I'll give it a try and get back to you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_angel_moroni:
So I did a couple things (stupidly at the same time).

First, I used the SD card from an old Evo (screen cracked, thank god for phone insurance) and reloaded everything on there. I think this is what actually fixed my problem. Read and write speeds should be the same as it is the exact same model of SD card, but I think it had the effect of defragmenting the card, enabling better reading and writing.

At the same time I tried Tickitata's idea and increased the cache size to unlimited. I streamed an album over WiFi and everything was fine (which it usually isn't). But then I noticed that I only had 2.6 GB of music on there and my cache limit had been 5 GB before, so I didn't think this was the problem and I changed it back. It still worked just as well afterward.

BTW Tickitata, were you having chronic stuttering problems that made the music almost unlistenable, or was it just a time to time thing?

In reply to sw99: I am using 3.3.0.1 not 3.29

I have someone on another forum that is buying a class 6 card to see if it resolves the problem for him. I'll let you know how it turns out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tickitata:
Yeah, it was awful. Definitely to the point of being unlistenable.

Well, glad to hear you got it worked out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk0358:
Music occassionally stutters for me too. I use Mixzing and the 10 band EQ it comes with so I just assumed that the processor was getting bogged down with too many apps running while music was playing. Never really figured out the true cause.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
Yep. I ca watch it through video player but not through the app
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkOrPn:
Of course it happened for everyone else. Its a custom Rom, not a stock TMo Rom. lol, sombionix isn't going to include avatar on his Rom, so just play the file through the video player. No need for a custom avatar icon. But if you need it back, just flash the stock Rom, or the nandroid backup you made before you flashed bionix.

Good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudedone:
I'm replying from my phone so I don't have the exact link at the moment but if you search there is a thread with the apk (installer) that you can use adb's push command to install which will return the Avatar movie launcher app.
[Fascinate General] Zirabius:
Hey guys,

I am pretty new with the android OS but I am trying my hardest to read up on it and wrap my head around it. so please bear with me.

I have a verizon fascinate that was purchased a week ago and I rooted it.

I have the Rom Manager installed and the OS is running smoothly. I was going to install a custom Rom on my phone but when I tried to back up the current Rom using the Rom manager. it will boot into the Android system recover (2e) and this is what shows up on my phone:

-- Install from Package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

verifying update package...

E:faield to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

with that massage I dont think that I have my current Rom backed up any where...

does any one know how I can get passed this step?

I dont have much knowledge about the android operating system so if some one can help me out with this it would be freaking awesome!

---

I have not installed anything crazy, Rooted with the One click root. and Used the Titanium back up software.
[Fascinate General] s44:
You have to flash the Clockwork kernel/recovery onto it to run the update.zip that activates the backup stuff. See here.

MAKE SURE YOU FLASH INTO THE "PDA" SECTION OF ODIN AND

NOT

THE "PHONE" PART. "Phone" will brick your device.
[Fascinate General] Zirabius:
Works perfect now!

Thank you very much!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azaria:
Hi,

I have a Blue-tooth hands-free set in my car.

Often I need to walk away from my car during a phone call.

It also happens that I am outside the car, a few yards/meters away from it when I make or get a call. when this happens the audio goes to the BT headset, but I can't hear it or be heard because I'm not near it.

So how can I make an ongoing call move from the BT headset back to my phone?

It has to be done from the phone only. No pressing buttons on the headset itself etc. (as I explained, I might be far from the headset and the car may be locked, etc.)

ThanX in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gryswynd:
Hey,

I have an ATT tilt 2, running an Energy rom. It worked great till 3 days ago, when I noticed a "light" spot on the screen (about 50mm in diameter) , like something had scratched some film away.

I disregarded it as just that, a scratch, but the next day the screen was completely unresponsive. If I press on the spot, it "fills" with a darker color, I am guessing this is the digitizer pressing into the LCD screen, the screen then becomes responsive for a few seconds (Just long enough for me to reset my alarms!), but not always.

I have ready through these forums and online, and it sounds like I damaged something, digitizer or LCD, but I am not sure which I need to replace.

Also, I have read that replacing just one or the other can be problematic as they need to be aligned just so and with no particles in between, but I cannot find any Digitizer+LCD assemblies online for Tilt2...

So I guess what I am looking for is:

Based on above, do I need just Digitizer or LCD or Both?

Can you point me in the direction of a good vendor? The ones I have found are either selling just tmobile or generic replacements (which if I understand are incompatible with the att version cause of camera placement?) or are very unclear which version they are selling and do not clarify it in emails...

Thanks XDA Forums, keep up the good work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Doo Doo:
Do You Have A Screen Protector On Your Phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] gryswynd:
@ Doo Doo

Nope, deluded myself into thinking I was careful enough to not need one... that mistake won't happen again ><
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
If it's under warranty, do an exchange. That would be the easiest/cheapest option. HTC provides a 15 month warranty normally. Going through your carrier would be a better option, however, as they usually just swap out the headset. If you have no warranty, then just search eBay or Google for the digitizer and LCD. They normally come together. Based on your description of the problem, you'll need both anyhow. Some come with instructions, and some don't. YouTube has a few videos detailing the replacement, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] jonrobertd:
I have had a very similar problem on two Tilt 2s now. Looks like the glue leaks out of the side of the plastic over the lcd. Both phones did this on the right side of the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] doodaa1:
Just in case anyone turns this up in a search like I did and can't swap the phone thru their carrier....

Global Parts Direct sells the ATT versions of these, though the LCD was out of stock at the time of this posting. (I'm too much a newb to post a direct link.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Rickgig:
I just had the same thing happen to me and I was able to swap the phone out with AT&T.

Oddly enough, the bubble wasn't there when I called AT&T but showed up the next day. My screen was unresponsive, called, went through a ton of questions but I had gone through this before with a couple of Fuze phones.

One thing I noticed before this happened which appears to be symptomatic before the phone becomes unresponsive is a large rectangle appears on the phone's LCD. It doesn't obstruct the viewing or anything I have just noticed that it has been on all my phones that have had trouble with the LCD/digitizer.

Has anyone else noticed this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
I know a lot of remorse periods are coming to an end. Is anyone considering returning their g2 and getting the Mytouch HD once its released??

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
Heck naw. I need my keyboard and stock android.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Yeah. No way... I had enough of cheap, plasticy phones when I replaced my MyTouch Slide with the G2. The only difference is the FFC (which isn't wide spread enough for me to care about) and the lack of keyboard (not a positive although if you really care.. its a bit thinner). Plus, the bloated, expresso garbage (the worst form of sense ui, ever). Not a good choice unless you're a tweener, lol
[G2 and Desire Z General] kylez64:
I agree the G2 looks way better and the genius button is pretty dumb.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
The genius button isn't too bad once it remapped to search button. Then you can map a long press to another app like a led flashlight or task manager. Basically, its the same guts as the G2 only no kb and add a ffc. It would a stupid upgrade from a G2. Waste of money, imo.
[G2 and Desire Z General] papeshfoo:
Exactly...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Arcadia310:
No it does not have the same guts as the G2. It features the 1Ghz MSM8255 chip which is substantially faster than the G2's MSM7230. Its not the same chip overclocked to 1Ghz; its an entirely different chip. Its the same one found in the Desire HD.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Turbo Brian:
heck no. having played with my wife's MT Slide, im not impressed with the plasticy feel of the phone or the terrible sense UI. the only thing this new mytouch has going for it is a bigger screen. the front camera is useless unless you know others with a front camera (i dont).
[G2 and Desire Z General] InGeNeTiCs:
I personally, am going to check out the new mytouch. When reviewed by engadget, the build quality was said to be very solid, with the same metal accents the g2 has. The front facing camera would be great for chatting with my daughter in georgia, I rarely use the keyboard on my g2(I was using my nexus one previously), and as soon as it's rooted I'll be switching to vanilla android with launcherpro anyways.

So what's the big deal? I don't buy a device for what it does, but rather for what it CAN DO.

Had I known about the new mytouch sooner, I would have waited. Now my 14 days are up and I'll have to sell/trade my g2.

As a side note: if anyone is going to be buying the g2 as new service or as an upgrade, get in touch with me. Maybe we can work something out where you get the new mytouch instead and I give you my flawless g2 and pay the difference.
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Great NY:
Won't be trading mine. This g2 is hot. Haha. the damn thing is fast as hell at 800mhz. I played with the droid x and droid 2. The speed of the g2 eats them alive and I think those are 1ghz phones? I could be wrong
[G2 and Desire Z General] InGeNeTiCs:
Optimization is key here. If anyone here has done anything with motorsports you know this very well. All the aftermarket parts in the world won't make you go faster without the proper tune. 1ghz means nothing if the code doesn't use it properly. This is why the g2 runs so well. The right hardware, coupled with a vanilla OS with no customizations.
[G2 and Desire Z General] 20FeeTaLL:
I will be getting one to go along with my G2. I've actually held the new MyTouch and it is not plastic or cheaply built. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how nice it was, I just wish there was no Genius button as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] The Great NY:
Haha...funny u should mention cars. I'm actually a builder and a tuner..lol. so I know exactly what u mean
[G2 and Desire Z General] sundar2012:
If the MyTouch is the North American version of the HD, I would suspect the G2 would be an overall better performer. Here is my reasoning, take it how you will:

The 1ghz scorpion that the Desire HD uses has a less powerful GPU than the 800 mhz processor the G2 and Desire Z use. Additionally, the g2 has a larger battery than the Desire HD despite the HD's larger screen ( 1,300mAh battery on G2 vsthe Desire HD features a 1230mAh ) which could suggest the need for more power under the hood despite lower clock speed.

Many have suggested that the 800mghz is deliberately underlocked and the fact that there is now an OC that doesnt require whole new kernel would suggest that this is true.

My personal take: going on pure processing specs alone (and assuming the MyTouch HD/4g is the same as the Desire HD under the hood) then the g2 is the clear winner.

Going on product design, it really depends on whether you want an FFC or a hardware keyboard.

Going on aesthetics i think the g2 wins - even if the MyTouch build quality is high, it still has a toylike look.

I suspect at the end of the day, out of the box the g2 runs faster w/ a better battery life given stock android, faster gpu, and smaller screen. It remains to be seen what root will do to these two devices and how the current g2 OC affects battery life.

I also suspect that if the g2 and mytouch ere to get gingerbread (unconfirmed), it would come slightly faster to the g2 OTA given that sense would not have to be ported.
[G2 and Desire Z General] diversificationied:
The mytouch4g isn't plastic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeybot:
No
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
I still have 6 days left and I'm loving the G2 so far that I don't think it'd be worth it to get the MT HD. A lot of my friends have the iPhone 4 and they rarely use the FFC, and I doubt I would too. And coming from a iPhone 3G I'm loving the physical keyboard.

I miss android, the way it handles everything, still remember when one user wrote reboot and we found root back in the G1 days.
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Not really...

A G2 running at 1Ghz will out-perform a G2 running at stock 800mhz 100% of the time (on CPU-bound operations), on 100% of devices. There is no hand-tuning for one particular speed.

Don't give HTC this much credit. All they do is take ASOP code and code in their little hacks to lock down the device. In the grand scheme of things, they know very little about tuning an OS to a particular piece of hardware.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ericc191:
Completely agree. Take a look at this site, if you think HTC has a clue about drivers and tuning.

http://htcclassaction.org/
[G2 and Desire Z General] diversificationied:
lol

HTC builds their devices to the specs of their customers (mainly carriers), if their customers don't want to dig deep in their pockets for HTC to build the proper drivers, HTC isn't going to waste resources on something their customers has not asked for.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jcX4ever:
FFC should be avoided for married people!

Now go get your MT4G married people and lets see how your life gets torn apart..

:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Superfrag:
You couldn't be more wrong about the Desire HD. The Desire HD uses the same chip as the G2/Desire Z, just clocked at 1 Ghz.. Both have the Adreno 205 GPU.

Check this page out :

http://www.qualcomm.com/products_services/chipsets/snapdragon.html

You'll realize that the Desire HD uses the MSM8255 chipset while the Desire Z/G2 uses the MSM7230 chipset.. (both being 2nd gen Snapdragon's with the newest GPU)

The MyTouch(HD) will use the same chipset(I'm assuming, going by the specs) as the Desire HD..

No idea about the battery differences though.. that is a confusing part, considering that they practically use the same chipset ; just clocked at different speeds.

Out of the box the G2 might run faster(again, I'm assuming, for all you know the MyTouch will run as smooth as the G2) because its stock Android while MyTouch(HD) will come with the Sense UI ( or whatever custom UI the MyTouch line comes with). The GPU in both are the same, the screen is practically the same.
[G2 and Desire Z General] InGeNeTiCs:
I should have clarified. Obviously if you overclock a g2 to 1ghz the performance will increase, especially since it's cpu is rated at 800-1000mhz, it's completely within spec. And I wasn't implying that HTC sat for months trying to make the g2 the perfect device(this is the farthest from true), I was merely trying to make the point that just because it says 1ghz, doesn't mean it's faster. All 1ghz cpu's are not alike.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jrios1129:
no i love my g2 and i NEED keyboard the dual processors sounds nice but not at the expense of a keyboard

besides the mytouch hd by what i been seeing correct me if im wrong its going to be the americanized version of the desire from uk
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Dear god....

Seriously....what phone are you talking about?
[G2 and Desire Z General] WilliamStern:
Hell no! I just can't stand the cheap look and feel of the MyTouch line. I also don't like how they all look the same either. I think T-Mobile needs to drop the line as a whole, or just state making them look better?
[G2 and Desire Z General] death1246:
had the G2 for a day and I have to say its a great phone despite its problems such as the screen sliding open on its own and the loose hinges... but Since my nexus I dont like the keyboard.. and the faster processor with better GPU... the HD will be mine
[G2 and Desire Z General] lukesky:
It's clear both phones use the same Adreno 205 chip, so how is it one can support more stuff than the other? Unless HTC purposely disabled some features on the Adreno 205 for the DHD and did the same for the Z? If it's true then maybe later on xda devs could hack it to release the hidden features on each phone since it could be already supported natively, just that it's turned off..
[G2 and Desire Z General] smooth3d:
Sorry you are wrong. It has the same gpu, a cpu that is clocked 200 mhz higher. It has a higher Quadrant score then a stock G2. This is not the Mytouch slid3 3g. This is a well built phone with aluminum just like the G2!
