I 2nd that. I installed Keep Alive because my would shut down once a day after full charge but only if GPS is on. Mine doesn't shut down if GPS is off. Now it's been 3 days without any shut down and I leave GPS on continuously.
[Captivate General] netnerd:
my phone shut down (1 time) daily, and i'm unable to reproduce the shutdown. maybe it' a memory leaks, it shuts down when it runs out of ram. going to reboot my phone (1 time) daily to see what happens...
[Captivate General] sblees:
I concur, I never had any shutdowns until I went to cog 7... And for the first week I didn't have any shutdowns, only after installing apps did this problem start. So I think you are correct that out has something to do with certain apps. Probably an app that is not fully compatable with android 2.2... I just wish I could figure out which app is causing this issue.
[Captivate General] samtr87:
My phone keeps shutting off also. At first thought it was software, but even with a clean install of 2.1 with Odin and nothing added to it, it still did it. Then I thought it was the SD card, but still not it. I started noticing a pattern with it doing fine for 11-16 hours with a full charge depending on how much I used it, but it eventually shuts off. Every time I turned it back on, the battery is at <65%. I completely drained the battery last night and charged it back up and now it's doing it at 70%.
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
Anyone in this thread that has had at least 1 random shut down, or more, should look into a warranty replacement. A perfectly good working phone shouldn't shut down for the hell of it or because it "runs out of memory"

I went through this before and messed with the phone for a few days taking off apps, re-flashing etc... ultimately the problem went away when I simply just asked for a replacement unit.
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
What do you think Androidcentral was talking about when they said "Quadrant benchmark (which is about useless on a Galaxy S phone -- blame the cheaters and developers lack of fixing the I/O scoring algorithm for that one)" Are they blaming EXT2 and EXT4 lagfix or the developers of the program? Just very curious.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Probably both. With a loopback filesystem, Quadrant is only reading and writing to a buffer instead of the actual disk. So the numbers are insanely high compared to true R/W scores. However lagfixes like Voodoo and Z4mod are not creating loopbacks and instead are converting the actual disks to another, faster, format. So Voodoo scores are real.

FWIW, I don't really think Quadrant as a whole is useless, just the overall score. I think Quadrant Advanced is actually a very good benchmarking program.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Not useless

Just not representing real life. They are good for setting a comparison, but in real life, the phone, computer or anything else with arbitrary measurement tools does not getting the whole story.

Case in point, my computer does not have have the fastest cpu but out performs my friends with the fastest components, Why, because there is more to a computer than just a fast cpu and vdo card. Same for the phones.

The real life tests i did with a G2 and Vibrant side by side did not make any of us go WOW about either phone, but on a whole All of us who were there left with " the Vibrant performs better overall.

Anyway, they are fun to use and do generate conversation.
[Vibrant General] tissimo:
The benchmark. The insane score of the I/O makes the score meaningless. You can have a phone with awesome I/O and a horrible cpu/gpu and itll score higher then a much faster phone (evo,vibrant, etc).
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
Thanks for the answers and your opinions, guys. All very good points.

Hey, I was wondering what are the most commonly used apps/must buys? and maybe some important ones that you may list out please, I'm really new to android phones :/ and thank you!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] d1g1talphyre:
launcher pro (adw), titanium backup * root. must have paid apps
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mcord11758:
Depends on what you want

+1 launcher pro

Games: angry birds, or a system emulator like gameboid (rom buddy. To find games )

Vlingo for voice dial

Twicca for twitter

If you are going to root your phone

Titanium backup

Rom manager

Captivate

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Themes and Apps] s1l3nt:
launcher pro

beautiful widgets

gameboid

flikie wallpapers hd
[Captivate Themes and Apps] GTFO!:
hmm I know beautiful widgets and launcher pro+ cost money, but are the others free? and is launcher pro+ really that much better? and do these developers upgrade the apps too?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] koreancanuck:
If you don't need the widgets on launcherpro +, then it should be fine with the normal launcherpro. There are other widget alternatives you can find elsewhere as well.

+1 for LauncherPro but also you may want to try ADWLauncher. Used it on MT3G before and it is just as good as launcherpro (diff features here and there).

+1 for angry birds, also try handcent sms. I find touiteur to be a good twitter app, but you have tons of options for that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
quickdesk

itching thumb

superpower* root

handcent

pandora
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
+1on pandora its a must on any smart phone.

Launcher pro has a free version last I checked. Only launcher pro+ is pay. But it does come with widgets that replace the samsung ones that don't work without touchwiz.

Beautiful widgets is nice bt there are free alternatives that are close but not as good.

Angry birds

Any game loft game.

Google goggles is cool but kinda useless

Barcode scanner.

Widget locker (pay)

For rooted phones.

root explorer

Rom manager

Titanium backup

Terminal emulator

You guys are all forgetting the most important app!! Xda forums. Also I can't live without smart keyboard pro (paid).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] GTFO!:
Do you have to root before you can back up your phone?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] provoked:
I believe titanium backup requires root and you could use clockwork mod without root if you get the update.zip on the sd card and reboot to recovery.

[HD Mini General] PopulationOne:
Hello new to the forum and just got my new HD mini a few days ago. I have seen many post about the HVGA resolution and app compatibility. But cold some one tell me why it is HVGA? I mean my old I-Mate Ultimate 6150 has a 2.8in screen and a resolution of 640 x 480. So why does the Mini have 320 X 480?

BTW I love my new Mini.
[HD Mini General] ericsonicsson:
HVGA eats battery less

and a bit cheaper for HTC to build :)
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
hmmm..i'm not agree about battery thing..it drains pretty fast :(
[HD Mini General] PopulationOne:
So is it the screen itself that is not capable of higher resolutions or is it software?

The first one.

[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
For some reason it feels like the speaker is considerably lower than the speakers in the D1. Is there any app/script or something I can do to make my speakers louder?
[Droid 2 General] Redneck Trash:
Good question. There is a noticeable difference in the volume.
[Droid 2 General] karnovaran:
This has been asked many times and there are no solutions yet. It's still much louder than HTC phones, so we should be thankful for that.
[Droid 2 General] ljbaumer:
I know you can boost the volume on iphone's which are jailbroken...

I'll check out what they did to boost the volume, maybe that will help a bit i guess
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
There's an app in the market called louder volume hack... Not sure if it'll work on the droid, but it works well for me on the hero :)
[Droid 2 General] dtmorgwsu:
On the devs website they say that LVH won't work for any of the motorola phones.
[Droid 2 General] theimpaler747:
Ok, never mind then ;)
[Droid 2 General] dtmorgwsu:
I checked into it yesterday after reading the orginal post. He has the files that you could push manually to your phone. Someome could probably get the files and figure out why it doesn't work and patch it? Not sure though.
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
I really hope so because this phone is ridiculously quiet. I really like some hardware updates on this phone compared to D1, but the D1 just seemed like a more user-friendly device.

Hey guys,

This has got to be the best locklscreen I have seen to date.

I have a HTC HD2 and would love to have this. I imagine you would have a black 480 x 800 png for the background, but can change anywallpaper to the same file name and have it as the background with the text on top.

Is anyone interested in making this?

I have see some similar, but nothing as good as this.

I would like to use them with my htc hd2 while calling.

Since the audio cable from the device to the headphones is removable, is it possible to have a 3.5mm female/male cable with a mic and audio controls in it?

I mean something like this:

I've done a slightly different take on this, I snipped the lead between the control module and the headphones and soldered a inline 3.5mm jack socket. This enables me to plug my Sennheiser HD-25 headphones in without having to damage the lead and in fact plug any standard set of headphones in whilst keeping the full functionality of the remote module...

Is there anyone else here who uses a BOSE in-ear headphones?

I've got one and I read a few reviews AFTER I bought it that it's not loud enough. I'm not sure if this is something to do with the phone or the product is just like this.

I've had Klipsch Speakers for my PC before but unsure if their earphones are also very good compared to BOSE.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phrag:
Hi Guys,

I have had an ongoing problem with my phone for some time, persisting throughout different ROM flashes and full wipes.

I use Handcent SMS, and have notifications turned on, it's a blue icon.

I receive this notification, and another mysterious one from i don't know where.

The other one is white and displayed in the photo below.

One would assume it's the default SMS app that's displaying it, but...

I have most definitely turned off notifications in the default SMS application, and have no other SMS apps installed, just the default "Messaging" and Handcent.

Also, when i read the message, it doesn't clear until i manually "Clear all notifications". IIRC, i even removed the default SMS app and still got those messages, but i can't be certain of that as it was awhile ago.

Has anyone else experienced this, and know of a way i can fix?

Any help would be most appreciated.

The notifications appear as such...

"You have an unread message"

"You have 0 unread messages"

(Can't post screenshot until account is verified by Admins)

[HTC Hero GSM - Floyo 1.1.8 - Android 2.1]
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmux:
A bit hard to to be sure without a screen shot - try uploading it to imageshack and posting a link (you'll to need to change the link a bit such that XDA doesn't recognize it as a link).

Most likely it is the default messaging app, Please recheck that notifications are disabled there. If they are, you can also try to enable them, and see if you now get 3 notifications on each SMS....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phrag:
Hi, Thanks for the reply =)

Interesting, I enabled notifications in the default sms app and now i get 3 notifications!

So i can only assume it's something else!

I have two screenshots...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] phrag:
This is a photo with the 3 notifications (if i enable notification in the default sms app)

phra.gs/img/sms3.jpg
[Hero, G2 Touch General] erasmux:
Ok, so it aint the default messaging app. What happens when you press on the notification? Maybe it opens this app?

I guess this might be a little extreme, but you can always do a full wipe, and then do a clean install - verify you get only one notification with a clean install (no apps). Then start installing your apps and try to find out which is the offending app. If you do want to do this, I suggest you wait a few days, I should release a bugfix version 1.1.9 shortly.

BTW, there are easier/better ways to take screen shots, like "ShootMe" on the market, or the ddms utility which comes with the andoird SDK if you have adb working.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] phrag:
Great, thanks very much for the advice. I'll wait for the new Floyo release and try a process of elimination.

Also, loving your Floyo ROM.. it's improved my Hero immensly \o/

Much appreciated, keep up the good work =)

then after one final reboot the phone stopped turning on completely.

i tried plugging the phone into the computer and running SEUS and it doesnt even detect the phone.

i've tried taking out batteries, swapping batteries with a friend's phone, and leaving the battery out overnight.

what now? should i call rogers and get a replacement?

Reflash using SEUS or the java flash tool. If that doesn't work it's warranty time.

Edit, oh damn if you can't get it to detect at all (or flash mode by holding back with it completely off and plugging it into usb) then it is warranty time for sure. Another of my friends did that -- his replacement should arrive Monday. Just call them up.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellSassa69:
Hi peps!

My Desire is stuck within a boot loop (CM6.1 RC1 logo shows up again and again!)

This morning I flashed CM6.1 RC1 with rom manager! I noticed that i flahes it without GApps so I flashed again and now I got this anoying boot loop!

I think that its because of my old radio but strange thing is that it worked before and without the GApps!

in the bootloader screen it says

Radio:4.05.00.11

and when I enter recovery it starts "Android system recovery (2e)" and I cant install a new radio because it says the file isnt certificated!

Whats the best and simplest way to get clockwork mod (I KNOW that I had installed it once on my phone but now it doesnt seem so -.-) or a newer radio onto my phone?

Are there other older roms which will boot/flash with my recovery?

plz help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellSassa69:
okay I solved it! The tricky part was, that I had no nandroid backup (anymore) and surprisingly no longer access to clockwork.

I downloaded fake-flash from modaco.com. This packs clockwork into a signed update.zip which can be launched from within the normal racovery.

You can grab it here:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...unching-recovery-on-your-device-without-a-pc/

no I reflashed my radio, CM6.1 RC1 and then the gapps!

everything works now :D

[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
Hi,

I have spent the last 6 hours trying to downgrade my 2.05 phone to 1.31.

Gold card, hack for legend, etc all works and went by smoothly. The major bump is getting the damn 1.31 to install. I keep getting error 171 and 170 saying there is a USB error; connect cable. I am running 32bit Windows 7.

- I have downloaded the RUU twice, it is the right size and works.

- I have tried the unplug/replug/no unplug and executing the RUU but it fails and gives the 170/171 error again.

- I have downloaded the whole SDK/Eclipse/USB driver and tried using them instead for ADB

- I have tried updating through HBOOT but getting error 170 again

- I have (this is getting repetitive) tried the unRevoked universal HBOOT usb driver but no success

- I tried installing HTCSync drivers but fail once again

- I have done countless reboots of both the computer and phone between drivers, correctly uninstalled them with device manager, etc

I don't know what else to do and noticed a ton of people had the same issue but solved it using with the above steps. None works for me. :(

Any ideas? I'll donate beer money at some future date if this can be sorted out. I need to root and get Froyo cos its just too slow right now.
[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
Believe it or not, it is upgrading now! To whoever has the same problem, just follow the above steps, spend six hours scratching your head, keep the phone over 30%, and there you go. No idea why it worked! :D:D:D Case closed.

[Legend Android Development] sz1a:
Yeah it's weird, doesn't seem to be any logic to it. I got it all working now anyways and running froyo with 767 MHz overclock. After figuring out how yo use rom manager, clockwork flash and getting gapps on there I am never returning to sense. Stock android is just so much more streamlined, fast, and no-frills. I even like the keyboard better. Yay. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pete2s:
In the current lineup of Windows Phone 7s, some phones have 512MB ROM while others have 1GB ROM. In Blackberries, Androids and Pres, this would mean the 1GB phones have double the storage space for apps because apps can only be installed on ROM memory (though Android now allows Apps2SD).

But in Windows Phone 7, I thought the OS created a single volume of the ROM + other memory (Flash or SD), meaning the apps can be installed anywhere. If the ROM only stores the OS and at max 60MB of pre-installed apps, what's the advantage of having 1GB ROM?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Haven't heard of any max. So no worries.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ckacey:
My guess is that if any updates require a good bit more space, only those phones will get it, like how the G1 was left out for not having enough ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ckacey:
Though with that said I don't think Microsoft will be looking to make that mistake anytime soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The G1's issue was compounded by the fact that Android < 2.2 does not support installing applications to SD card. Windows Mobile devices didn't have all that much trouble getting upgrades from 5.0 to 6/6 to 6.1/6.1 to 6.5 with small ROMs because users could just install their applications to the SD Card (and Sync their media there as well).

Android didn't, so even if the OS could barely fit into the ROM, it would make the phone borderline unusable since unless it was an upgrade to 2.2 the applications and data/cache files woulnd't have anywhere to fit.

The HD2 came with a 1GB ROM/576 MB RAM for the US Market.

I personally hope that when Samsung releases the Vibrant FroYo, that it allows installing apps to the INTERNAL SD card, because I do not like installing apps to removeable media - personally.
