[EVO 4G General] topdawgn8:
Not quite. The reason you usually see higher downloads than uploads is synchronous vs. asynchronous service. On residential lines you usually see asynchronous service (higher dl than ul) since the typical residential customer has no need for an insanely high upload. Synchronous service (same up as down) is useful for individuals or businesses hosting something that requires that much bandwidth, like a data center hosting music or games for thousands of users. As you could imagine, service charges for synchronous service is much higher than asynchronous. Which is the true reason you don't see it used often by individuals or residencies often, because it makes no sense to offer a service that won't be utilized at that price point.

I also agree that the changes in speeds are due to network load. I will get 2.5-5 Mbps down through the city, but when I get on campus I get 7-9 Mbps. Clear has been advertising around here for WiMax hard and it's showing. I'm still waiting for them to turn the tower on next to my work building...I want my 4 gees!
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Think of data as a highway the lager the highway the more data can flow Sprint/Clear have 3 lanes open but when the time comes will open up more. Also the close you are to a "tower" the better your speeds will be.

I keep seeing the theme download thing for Tron, but it's only for the ADW Launcher.

I'm using LauncherPro Plus and I'm wondering if there's anyway I can get the icon set from that download? I can't find the zip file or anything like that anywhere.

I'm trying to downgrade my phone back to AT&T 1.6. I've read just about every post on this issue and tried several recovery images. I either get stuck on Dell logo or get a black screen when I enter recovery mode. I see several references to "recovery.stock.new.img" but when I try to download the recovery file, the link is broken or the actual .img file in thew downloaded zip isn't called "recovery.stock.new.img".

Can someone please repost this file?

Thanks,

Christopher

I used this to downgrade before a warranty repair, worked for me :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Turbozilla:
YEEEESSS!!!!!!!! Finally! :D This is the file referred to on all these guides across several sites but all links are broken! This file worked and finally took me down from O2 2.1 build 8105 to O2 1.6 build 4399!

missing recovery

downloaded this recovery and it still bricks my phone and I have to use streak flash to get the phone back to fast boot it will only boot to 2.1 and about trying to get back to 1.6 please help!
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
@kanjimaster: Kudos to you for using the search engine and searching before you posted. :D

I'm going to make an assumption here and guess that you're needing to exchange your device? Dell and the carriers really won't care if you have a 2.1 or 2.2 ROM on the device as long as it meets the following two criteria:

1. It's a stock ROM that has no evidence of being rooted. This is ridiculously easy to accomplish since in almost every instance, you have to flash the stock recovery before you can flash the package. Simply DON'T root afterward.

2. The ROM matches the equipment. For example, if you received your Streak from O2, you use an O2 ROM. If a retail Streak you use a retail ROM, and so on.

Now if I'm wrong, and you want to go back to 1.6 for the hell of it, you may not be able to depending on how you went from 1.6 to 2.1 to begin with. Personally, I don't see the need to go back to 1.6 so....
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Rom region isnt device region dependant.

There are downgrade guides from 2.1 -> 1.6 but they havnt been updated since they stopped being relevent.

Only thing i can say for sure is 2.2 -> 1.6 in one step simply wont work.
[Streak 5 Android Development] kanjimaster:
ya I had originally went from att 1.6 to 2.2 with qdl so I dont guess I can go back to 1.6 cuz i haven't read about anyone using QDL and being able to go back to 1.6
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Correct, but if the Streak was being exchanged for warranty reasons the carrier would be within their rights to refuse warranty service because the correct ROM was not on the device. That was why I said what I did in my second point. Whether it is possible or not was never the issue.
[Android Software Development] DawidD:
So, here is the situation:

I'm a Magic: the Gathering player and I love to design cards for fun. There is a bit of software called Magic Set Edtior that lets you make and store collections of custom made cards on the PC. My goal is to make a similar program for android. However, I'm relatively unfamiliar with how android apps are developed, and I have one major problem starting out:

Basically, the program needs to be able to open, create, edit, and save sets of cards that each have a few features. How do I store data for these sets? How would I accomplish that sort of file system? Should I just have the app create a internal database for each set the user makes? Are there limits to how many databases can be created by a single app? I'm probably not being as clear as I could be, and I realize that this project is probably (far) beyond my abilities - but I'd appreciate any help and would be happy to clarify anything that doesn't make sense. I'll post progress once I get this off the ground!
[Android Software Development] Chalup:
Check out the notepad demo at developer.android.com, it should be a good starting point for what you are trying to do :)
[Android Software Development] DawidD:
Sweet! I'll take a look. Thanks for your help ^_^

One more thing about databases, then: If the app has an internal database and I release an update for the app that modifies fields in the database, does the information get wiped? (for example, say that the tables in the db have three fields: name, cost, rules, and i issue an update that adds a "stats" field. Would that clear out the current cards in the database?)

Basically, I just want to be sure that using databases to store the sets of cards is the best, most efficient way to do this (So I won't end up having to re-code that entire bit of app).
[Android Software Development] DawidD:
So, databases are confusing... At least, how android works with them sure as hell is @_@

So, what ive got now is that I need to make a database to store the individual card data... however, I also need to store general information about the set as well. So, do I make one new writeable database per set created, or is there a way to just use one database, and one table per set? (though I dont think you can store general info about a table that applies to each row, can you?)
[Android Software Development] Roid1:
Or apply for appinventor from googlelabs. Its fast and easy, should suite your purpose. Also has ability to communicate via web.

goodluck
[Android Software Development] DawidD:
I did apply. I'm hoping they get it too me soon. :(

UPDATE

Dec 9:

ALL

i did was use Autoboot (Exceller Multiple Build Loader) set at 3 seconds

Try this setup if all else fails

Rom: ChuckyRom Lite HERE

Radio: 2.15.50.14 HERE

Droid: HyperDroid 1.7 HERE

AutoBoot: Exceller Multiple Build Loader for Android/Ubuntu HERE (Comes preinstalled in ChuckyRom)

PLEASE KEEP LEAVING RESULTS AS I TRY THEM, AND CAN UPDATE THE FIRST POST

10/25:

I have been reading and in a recent post I read HAVE THE BUTTON LIGHTS ON WHEN U BOOT ANDROID and u will save battery and its true try this!

AGAIN, PRESS A BUTTON IN WM AND HAVE THE KEYPAD LIGHTS ON.

THEN AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BOOT ANDROID.

I AM CURRENTLY GETTING 3MA WITH SETCPU

I had to try this twice before it worked but THE KEY IS TO BOOT ANDROID AS SOON AS THE KEYPAD LIGHYS TURN ON!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reocej:
I just posted this in another battery thread but I think the real key is booting Android as quickly as possible and not really the lights so much as I have achieved similar results just using Exceller Multiple Build Loader app and not even touching the keys/lights. C/P from the other thread-->

Tried different techniques to get better battery and found that even on the same build with exact same setup would give varying results. Here's my setup that I would like others to try and post their results. SetCpu with screen off profile set to 245min/max 100 priority and whatever main profile you like; but use conservative preferably or interactive for best battery performance. Any task killer that auto kills all tasks with screen off (be sure to add SetCPU to ignore list). And here is the most important step, use an auto android booting app with minimum boot time setting. I have been doing some experiments with this and found that if you boot into Android as soon as possible, it seems to give better battery performance as opposed to playing around in WM then booting Android. Have tried this with several WM/Android combos. For the first time ever I'm able to get comparable battery performance out of Android as WM. I'm running a bare bones WM (but should work with and WM rom) and using Exceller Multiple Build Loader app set to 3 secs. Even running several sense builds I was able to achieve 3-7 mA draw during standby according to current widget. Took my phone off the charger at about 6:30 a.m. and it is now 11:15 and I still have 25% battery left after pretty heavy usage on standard battery. This is as good or better than what I usually get from WM! Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nova hands:
This was the one thing that was ruining my Android on HD2 experience. I finally got this step right after a few tries.

I've been using it for two days now, and getting consistent 5-8mA readings on standby. There's definitely something to either booting Android quickly and/or hitting the back button to turn on the LED backlight on the buttons.

I just checked my phone, and it's reading 5mA.

And I don't even have SetCPU on my phone. Should I try it out?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] leeyunfook:
I think HTC winmo sense is the culprit. I disable the sense in winmo and get very low Android battery usage during standby. Sometimes around 3mA.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafpigna:
I also suggest to disable sense and put wmo in offline status.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hebbe:
why should turning off sense be good when it comes to battery usage under android? this would mean winmo and sense are running in the background of android...which is not the fact! :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rjones9902:
i agree with you guys but let me just throw this observation into the mix here. i've read somrthing here in these forums regarding the sd card that came with the phone had something wrong with it ( don't really remember the exact issue ) and if you swapped it out for another sd card, there would be less SODs and a better battery as well.

i've tested this as i have a 4gb sd card and have had no problems whatsoever. everything runs smooth as silk. and, once again, the battery life is great.

NOTE: i do use the keypads lights on trick as well.

Most of us don't need to do keypad gymnastics to get those same results.

Just use the exceller boot loader and set it for 3 or 6 seconds. Having stuff turned off till you need it is a great way to preserve the battery.

Sorry thats all not working for me :(

i'm still having about 60 mA with VBNROM reloaded - 2.15.50.14/ Bangster 1.5 / Scandisk class 2 - 8 GB

I realley tryed everything and have read a lot of posts. I'm really distressed at the moment.

The best battery cosumption i ever experienced was with mccm 2.5 But that one was not stable for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reocej:
1. Are you using SetCPU with a 245 max screen off profile? 2. Are you disabling WiFi, data and GPS when not using it? 3. Are you using a auto task killer with only SetCPU and Current Widget in ignore list? Also, I don't have 3g in my area but if you do I guess it could account for increased battery drain. If you're in an area that is in/out of coverage, this will cause higher battery drain as well. I get spotty coverage where I work and the battery drain is terrible.

Try mdeejay sense rEVOlution 2.0 androind build with your vbn wom rom - works great !

Try this:

1. switch phone radio off in winmo

2. power off and charge until green light comes on

3. boot winwmo on vbn, then immediately click on EBL

4. boot into mdeejay sense rEVO 2.0

5. turn sense off and use LauncherPro

I get *very good* battery life now with avg 5-7mA draw as evidenced by currentwidget.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aussiebum:
no need for keypad gymnastics or other weird and wonderful combinations - before booting into Android, just use KeypadLedControl to force the keypad lights to stay on, then fire up Android using your loader of choice (I use Android Loader, modified to automatically call KeypadLedControl to turn on keypad lights, instead of just letting it run on WinMo startup).

Been rebooting 5-6 times now with consistent low 5-10ma standby current.

The Solution....kind of ;-)

Thx for u'r replys.

I considered all u'r tips and sry dudes it didn't work for me :( I think the problem was related to the Bangster Build, even though i have been lonesome with my issues.

I changed the LED lib, and tryed to let the LEDs on while booting, set CPU is in condervativ mode/screen off 245min/245max 100% interactiv. And yep, GPS and Wifi where off. I even searched for any SD-Card related Problems in regestry. But Chucky did some great work i think. (i switched again concernig to faster boot)

At some time i think each Leo is different to the other. I changed to Hyperdroid 1.7 with 2.14 Radio and the results are definitely mind blasting.

12 hours on the road, did some surfing, some calls, 2 h musik.

Strange though i used the same kernel and same Radio. Something must have gone wrong by flashing Bangster or something.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisizzle492:
a couple of days ago there was an article on the main page about tk's on froyo, basically saying that the programs just start up again thus draining the battery. i have to agree but to an extent, because at start up i always have around 15 ma until i use atk, then it goes down to 3-5 ma. so if anything i think it is handy for after booting but after that not really. if anything its just a waste of space after using it once, but i still dont see it affecting my battery if i leave it on autokill. but thats just me :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kdeguy:
display drivers?

I'm using the HD2, while my wife uses the desire. Using all the common tweaks, mine usually runs for 12 hrs or so with moderate usage, single digit for standbys.

One of the curious things i've found is checking whats been using the battery, the HD2 shows display at over 70%, where as for the desire, the generic android phone, display uses 3 to 4% of batt. This over 70% has been consistent across different roms, recommended setcpu settings, and different winmo roms (right now its on chucky lite), and i use a near dark setting with auto brightness off.

Could the battery drainage be due to faulty display drivers? Not a programmer so i can't decipher obviously, but I am not sure how much attention has been paid to them in the subsequent kernel revisions once they got working.

I guess this will solve the problem

Initially i was using this (MCCM SE v3.4 (27.11.2010))Android build...this has the htc sense built onto it. It looks good works fantastic...but eats a lot of battery...i had nearly 74% battery when i went to sleep at 3 am without keeping the phone on charging and plus everything unnecessay was already killed by autokiller....and when i got up in the morn at 10am the phone had already switched off and that when i started reading all the post related to battery drain in htc hd2.

After couple of days of research and some days of reading lot of things on the web i found out that the nexus build does not eat a lot of battery...

so i backed everything using titanium backup and renamed the android folder to something else...so that if i want to switch back. i can just rename and start using it again...

Then i downloaded and installed this Android build (NexusHD2-FRG83D v1.7 (20.11.2010))and vola...this has been running like a charm...it is just that i had to manually enter the APN settings...with the previous android build it automatically identified my APN settings.

I have been using this android build for nearly a week now and i had literally only 55% battery in the night and when i got up in the morning it was still about 38%.

Last but not the least i using Energy Rom v1.7( i guess, dont remember the version).

HTC HD2 is a UK phone that i got from a friend and using it in India.

Thanks to all the Developers for the hardwork and efforts they have put for making our lifes with HTC HD2 better.

Also i have installed brightness locker light(Set to 10) and Autokiller memory optimizer and my updates with facebook and gmail are running all the time. Wifi and GPS used rarely....
