Hi.. Thank you for your response.. Is it possible to fix it if I flash it with a new ROM? Or is it becuse of hardware issue?

Thanks

Hey topgun I had a problem like this when I bought my phone and a hard reset fixed it. Since then I've been flash happy

Well, if you have odin it won't hurt to try Bionix Final with the JI6 update built in and if that doesn't work you can always call TMO, odin back to stock and then trade it for the replacement they sent you. But in my case a new flash was all it took. Been over a week now without the issue where as before it was an everyday annoyance.
[Vibrant General] herebox:
This is a common issue and is solved by cleaning the USB port.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmace:
Im currently running the MIUI rom, however the H icon does not get displayed when connected to the HSDPA network.

Ive read on quite a few roms that this has been fixed but im unable to find any reference to what the actual fix is.

Ive checked and i am connected to a HSDPA network and ive checked that the icon is present in the framework.res folder, which it is.

Im guessing its an edit to a xml, but i dont know which one.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigblueshock:
May seem kind of weird and you may be asking why I want to do this.

I have a little minitop PC set up and hooked into a TV. The way it's layed out, a mouse and keyboard would not fit in at all. It seems logical I can somehow use the evo as the mouse and/or keyboard on demand.

I see two general possibilities...

1) Using Bluetooth (I'd assume it would be using an AOSP rom such as Cyanogens because of the BT stack)

2) Some sort of remote desktop software that *doesn't* log out the computer once the evo logs in. Windows built in remote desktop is great, however when you log in remotely it brings the computer to the login credentials screen where it says someone now is logged into the computer.

What do you guys think? Is it a possibility?

Hey guys

I am looking for a very fast and stable Custom ROM and i really can´t decide wich one to choose. Please tell me what do u think and what do u use for ur own???

I used to have this one SLIDEVILLAIN 1.1.0 RC but it was not possilble to calibrate the G-Sensor.

Sorry for my bad english :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdejager:
The question is, what do you want or like, you want sense? or vanilla, then 2.1 or 2.2. I use Floyo 2.2, for the stability and speed. But its up to you, just try some, not a problem to flash more then once on your phone :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QuAn64m:
i would like to have the 2.2. i dunno what the vanilla looks like. i am not afraid of something diffrent then sense :D ok 1 point vor floyo 2.2 sofar =)

but i am a little lazy to check all the custom roms :(

is this Floyo 1.01 based on android 2.2 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlanal:
tra a few roms out for yourselve and then tell us which one is the best
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
No custom rom has this option afaik... Its cuz the devs dont believe us and tell us to rotate the phone in crazy directions to reset the sensor.... (like that ever worked)....

Anyway there is a manual way to do it. First you need to find your values takes about 3-15 mins. Then always when reflashing changing to those values (1min)

You wont do it so many times so there is no problem. (am lazy to find you the guide :P , use search)

[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
It struck me that since we can access the bootloader to place a ROM image onto the phone could we not access the bootloader, (or a modified bootloader), that would "suck" the entire image of the phone, (and SD Card too would be nice though that could be imaged independently), off onto a PC.

It would be a nice backup and would be brilliant for "fiddlers" like me that want to make changes but want a quick and accurate method to go back if I don't like it.

Is there any reason why this couldn't be done? It would be a most powerful backup system.
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
The question is too difficult, eh? ;)
[HD2 General] PINki92:
Hmm, thats not possible. Haven't seen anyone did it.
[HD2 General] compact_bijou:
Sprite backup (others are available) is probably as close as you'll get to a quick revert app.
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
I have sprite backup... I don't think that it is a ROM image though... It would be nice to image the current system bit for bit and the Radio too would be nice.

Happy to be corrected on the "I don't think that it is a ROM image though" thing...
[HD2 General] troed:
did an extensive search on that topic in xda and general google: no outcome !

There seems to be no method to extract the entire rom/radio directly from a wm device although this would make flashing cooked roms for trial and revert to stock or previous rom a "blink of the eye".

wonder why nobody developed sashimi further to do this job ......... :confused:
[HD2 General] Airborne Aircrew:
I looked at Sashimi and, unless I missed something, it's really a batch script that automates the reinstallation of applications etc. after you change ROMs fro example...

I was just hoping there was a way, while you are in bootloader, (and therefore have complete contol of the phone but without opening any files in the ROM or Radio), you could not remotely image the phone.

Oh well, if there's anyone out there that has a better understanding of these things it would be a great piece of work...:D
[HD2 General] smeddy:
All I can suggest is that CHTS and XUA etc. can make it less than a 10-min job between flashes now, but I agree a complete back-up would be very ueful.
[HD2 General] compact_bijou:
"is probably as close as you'll get" Is as straightforward and accurate an answer as you are likely to get.

If it was as straight forward you make it sound, don't you think a man like Cotula who knows our devices inside out would have already released such a tool?

currently have a iphone 3g but i really want to switch over to android
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Mine is a insurance replacement so it is refurbed, have had other refurbed phones and haven't had any problemss out of either. I love the phone itself. Go to any sub forum and you can tell the phone has gps issues, some worse then others. This is my 3rd (first couldn't go into recovery, and second was lost), and gps is worse then all the previous ones. Even with the problems, I still wouldn't give this phone up. Probably because I love the hardware and its my first android device and apple wasn't a choice for me. As for the network I hadn't any problems with att since 2004. I'm sure that depends on you location tho.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgernhardt:
Two weeks ago I bought the HTC Aria with rebate for $29. Then another employee wrote saying they wanted to upgrade their phone, and wanted the Captivate. I looked online and saw that it was $299. A few days go by and he agrees to the price, and when I go to order it, lo and behold ATT has refurb for $50 each! I bought two, one for him and one for me :). I like the aria and it is now my backup, but I love the Captivate and for $50, it's hard to go wrong.

tl;dr, buy it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dai505:
I have a refurb......... no major issues. One thing to look for though.......... I got my first one 4 days ago, worked fine, but after being on for a little bit the battery went completely dead after being on standby for 30 min. yeah, something was wrong with the battery, on top of that it would randomly exit me out of screens.

turned out they sent me one that had NOT been fixed yet, their boo boo. They sent me out a new one and I got it today. This one looked brand new, all the stickers from samsung still on it and everything. Let it charge and turned it on....... no more issues.

It lags a little and the battery life REALLY sux, but those are issues with brand new ones also. I turned on my task killer and put the security level to low so that I could kill everything but non essential apps. Now the battery life seems MUCH better. It seems like this phone takes a long time to charge as well though. I think i wll just allow the battery to fully drain then plug it in, see if that will work, maber get rid of any potential battery memory.

Are the refubs typically better since they have had more extensive testing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenacious--M:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
with anything there are defect but these phones are built like a rock and if you think about it, if there is a x probability that a device has a defect the probability that it has 2 is x^2(in theory, obviously the nature of the defect factors in) so if the phone had a defect that was fixed there is a pretty slim chance that it will be defective after it is repaired.

i wouldn't worry about a refurbished phone, there may be cosmetic damage ect. but i would recommend this phone to anyone on build quality alone. wear and tear related problems should be minimal. id say go for it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kytrauma:
Any one who has replaced a phone using insurance or warranty thru ATT is most likely using a refurbed phone. I have replaced every phone i have ever had in 10 years with ATT due to my being really hard on phones at work and all the replacements have been refurbed. I personally have never had an issue with a refurb, they all lokked and performe like new. I actually just got my cappy a few weeks ago and ordered the refurb cause i knew i would end up with one anyway.( and got lucky in doing so and got a batch 1007 phone so my 3button download mode doesnt get wiped.)

Works Perfecly and only set me back $50

[Android Software Development] gogol:
Hi,

Everyone might knew "Quadrant", app to benchmark our Android phone.

However, so far, there is no app to benchmark battery.

NONE!!!

The idea is quite easy. Run the battery benchmark app and show the result at the end.

It should not be too difficult, too bad I am not Android developer.

Anyone can take up the challenge? To be THE FIRST creator of battery benchmark for Android :)

Here is the basic idea for the app:

Start the app with 100% Battery life

Some options in the app (for features that might NOT be in an Android phone or might not be available at the time?):

[ ] Turn on Wifi

[ ] Turn on GPS

[ ] Turn on Bluetooth

Set the app to WAKE all the time, display turned ON all the time of the test

Set Keyguard to OFF (device will not be locked)

Set Brightness to AUTO

Set all speakers to SILENT

Set vibration to OFF

Then loop until battery down to 5%, perform the below tasks in sequence:

* Play movie for 15 minutes [speaker muted]

* Browse to website??? be careful not to overload the website :P

* Doing arithmatic (counting pi?) that increase to 100% CPU

* Doing 3D animations

* Play MP3 [speaker muted of course]

* File I/O

* etc.

As soon as the battery down to 5%, app stop and display result ...

"Battery Benchmark result: XX hours YY minutes ZZ seconds

And of course restore all the settings.

App should use generic and known to work Android API, not hack or proprietary library.

Anyone???

BE THE FIRST!
[Android Software Development] prosciutboy:
Good idea

In fact I am surprised this app hasn't been created yet.

We could imagine automatic tests to be conducted for 1 or 2 hours on a clean ROM (fresh install with no additional apps installed).

The tests could be such as:

- taking pictures

- playing a music file

- playing video

- standby consumption testing

- ...

Browsing could be tested but it depends a lot on wifi or Network infrastructure so it might not be a good idea to compare the results.

Every minute some data could be saved to then generate some graph:

- current (mA)

- Battery Voltage (mV)

- CPU freq

- Battery %

Of course the tests initial conditions have to be clearly established (screen brightness, wifi/BT/Network status...).

At early stage of development such an application could perform very simple tasks but would nevertheless be a great tool to compare ROMs in terms of consumption.
[Android Software Development] omnia-one4all:
stability test from marked would do the trick. With 100 % battery run the app for 30 min and see how much power was used. You would probably not be able to compare with other users as kernel, modem(3g) and rom might differ.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intheb0x:
As the topic says, I'm currently looking for all the different kernels I can did that do not use HAVS, I'm doing a test with battery tweak and trying to find the best kernel to use with it.

It does not play well with any stock kernels (like in myns rls2) or any kernels with HAVS.

IRT this article:

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-sour...r-android-becoming-a-political-liability/7588

Just wondering about T-Mobile's stance in essentially going against this by openly preventing customization of the OS, if this is enforceable and if they are in fact in violation of anything at this point. Thoughts?

Is this something that could lead to a class-action lawsuit..? Just curious. Looked and didn't see if there were any other threads related to this issue.. if there is, sorry for the redundancy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
Hate to be an the apologist here, but I just don't see how this is T-Mobile's fault.

That claim could have passed a month-two ago, but now we have the Desire HD and Desire Z which have similar/same protections yet are unbranded, simfree HTC devices. It definitely seems like this was more of an HTC idea that T-Mobile embraced.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Agreed.

Overall this isn't T-Mo's fault and we shouldn't be pointing the finger at them. HTC is the culprit. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this.

My original understanding of this "agreement" was that Apple/Microsoft/Google couldn't sue the people that jailbroke/rooted/hacked the phones. Meaning, the jailbreakers of the iPhone could literally parade in front of Job's face that "Hey, I am the one who created the jailbreak software" and Apple couldn't sue them. I didn't think the "agreement" had anything to do with companies preventing such customizations. Maybe I just missed it.

I would much rather see these eFuse type chips and what not go away. I understand that root shouldn't be a push button option but a few hours of work by a smart dev should be enough of a deterrent from your avg joe to prevent random bricks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
I agree with what is above - this is in no way T-Mobile's fault. Also, this is a repost as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bigstunta101:
have you guys ever heard "you are the company you keep" or "aiding and abetting" or "accessory to...." bottom line t-mobile has their name branded on the phone and in the phone. they knew about this sh*t so they are just as responsible. trust me i've had my run in's with the law a couple of time to know how technical stuff like this gets.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nighthawk626:
t-mobile knew what was in the phone when they received it and even before so why shouldn't they be held just as responsible. If my name and signature is on a product I sell and endorse then why shouldn't I be held responsible? Its common sense
[G2 and Desire Z General] elreason4:
t-mobile has responsibilities for any t-mobile branded phone

I have faith the G2 will be fully rooted, in spite of HTC and/or T-Mobile.....HTC really pulled a Motorola on this one (trying to lock the phone up)....I have no doubt that if t-mobile pushed HTC an easy root solution could easily be forthcoming, but T-mobile is just playing the 'not my fault' bs game....

I have to be content knowing the G2 is the best Android phone currently on the market, and that the dev community will defeat root (once radio/hboot is fully dealt with....)....at least VISIONARY temp root allows easy wireless tether and Titanium in the meantime....
[G2 and Desire Z General] gaalaagaa:
Its wrong. As soon as you buy something and becomes yours nobody should tell you how to use it or what to use it for. If I buy a phone to wipe my ass that shouldn't be tmobiles bussines. All they should be worried about is to sell phones and give services, but forbidding ppl to do what they want with what's theirs its very very wrong....and idiotic
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
All they did was slap their name on something HTC created. You can't tell me you actually hold T-Mo responsible for something they didn't engineer? If they knew about it and didn't like it what do you think HTC would have done? Gone to ATT or switched it to a CDMA radio... oh wait they already basically have a copy cat coming out for Verizon. HTC can deal without selling through T-Mo. They'll survive.

You're common sense misleads you.

If you think T-Mo really has ANY influence over HTC you are mistaken. HTC sells through all 4 of the major carriers. They would just take their "G2" somewhere else. Blame the person that engineered the phone not the carrier to prints their name on it and throws a SIM card in it.

One problem...

There is a pesky thing called a warranty. If T-Mo/HTC provide a warranty, which they do, then they are obligated to fix/exchange a phone which cannot perform for its intended use. So if you bought a phone, rooted it, and royally F'ed it up because you are stupid and don't know what you are going you could then take it back to T-Mo and say it doesn't do what I bought it for and they would be obligated to fix it/provide a working one.

Consequently, to ensure as few people as possible root it they locked it down with this read-only NAND. They are protecting their arse.

Do I agree with it? No but I understand why they do what they do.

Warranty exchanges costs HTC money... so they want to ensure that as few warranty claims as possible are related to idiots doing something they shouldn't be or don't comprehend what they are doing.

It's a money game... nothing more nothing less.
