[G2 and Desire Z General] Alluuu:
I got my DZ on Saturday morning, which is my first android device..

At first, all seemed swell, but yesterday I noticed, that the camera lags behind a bit and some times even snaps when moving (Can't make smooth videos :( ). I haven't downloaded many apps, but the whole device seems to have gone a bit slower, menu isn't as fluid and in the home screen when changing "workspace" it sometimes laggs a bit and get's especially slow with the locations widget. flipping the screen is slow also when sliding out the keyboard..

Can it be, that it keeps all applications ever opened open and that takes up memory? Because, the 2-nd gen snapdragon was supposed to be snappier and faster, but it doesn't feel faster than the n1 and regular desire with 1-st gen 1 ghz..

Anyways I wish to know if there is something I can do, and is it all normal (especially the camera part) plus some assurance, it isn't hardware fault or anything like that..

The battery drain is also massive, but that might easily be because of the new gadget affection and my playing around with it a lot.. Right now I have to recharge daily

Still love the device and all the capabilities though :)

Thanks for any help :)

Hey all,

Just got my Rogers Captivate Friday, and I love it so far... However I have one issue that is driving me nuts!!! When I want to preview a photo, most of the time it says, "an SD card is required to download", but sometimes it works just fine. This wouldn't be such a big deal if I could just somehow tell GMail to display small previews of all the photos in an email.... like it does sometimes as well.

Does anyone have any solution for me? I have searched around, and have yet to come up with an answer!

Hah. Very interesting question. Ok, so rooting lets you change the system as well as the other partitions. Froyo and eclair are both system changes, so try flashing a froyo rom. Didn't you research before rooting?

It's not actually a zip file; it's an apk that windows opens like a zip. You can either use adb on your computer to install it directly, or load it onto your sdcard and run it using an explorer like Astro or Root Explorer.

I think we all have the crAppy 720p video. I am assuming the 004 devices have a better camera, and if so it sure seems like we might have a leg to stand on in claiming that we have defective devices. They may not have an argument since they even replaced something in the new model in regards to the camera.

I love this phone but, don't you feel scammed with how crappy the 720p video is? It's worse then the lessor setting.
[EVO 4G General] orris:
I thought it only went up to 003? And I don't think that the camera is that bad after the update.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
I thought my video was good too until I noticed there was a setting for video recording resolution and it wasn't set at 720p. So I changed it to 720p and now I see why it wasn't set there by deafult, it looks crappy, choppy, and garbled at times. Its almost unwathable. Nothing like buying a phone with a advertised sweet 720p video camera that no one will ever use on 720p because its almost unwatchable.
[EVO 4G General] abrigham:
From what I understand the 004 devices don't have a better camera. HTC just added a second vendor to keep up with holiday demand. Iirc, Sprint will actually be selling 003 and 004 devices concurrently. The only difference will be the camera vendor. It's like they did w/ the screens...
[EVO 4G General] Samzebian:
I feel ya, I also would like a 004 evo, especially after today.

I literally got to my local Sprint store at about 2:45. I sat in my car to un-root my evo, which was running baked snack 1.9. I backed up via mybackup, did a nand-backup, downloaded the unroot files (via tethering! Took SOO long!) and put the stock 8gb card in, pre-formatted. This process took 2 hours! Then, I finally had a non-rooted evo, went in the store, and told them about my powerline crack problem. I was told I had to wait 1 to 1.5 hours.

So I looked around at the phones for 30-45 minutes, got bored, and sat there for an hour or so....

finally, around 6:30, the manager (or at least he seemed like it) was free and I asked him if my phone was done. He scanned my receipt, went in the back, and came back with a huge smile, probably because he was thinking "this guy's been in here for 2 hours now, at least he gets a new phone!" (he kept looking at me weirdly during the 2 hours. I guess most people leave the store)

So I got another 003 evo(nova), had an 003 Epson that had a powerline crack (which I neglected to get replaced for a month now), and I just rooted and re-flashed bs 1.9.

If only all that waiting would've gotten me a 004 evo...:(

I could always make an asurion claim, keep my replacement evo I got today as a PDA!

Honestly I was hoping somone would tell me that I can fix the video on mine with software or a tweak.also it looks inconclusive on weather video looks any better on 004. I really don't want another phone. I Like mine, except for the video.

I got a class 6 card, and it fixed the choppiness and freezing.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The newer camera will probably be worse if anything. The new provider was probably a second choice, plus with HTC's history with cameras and swapping components..
[EVO 4G General] potna:
so, your 720P video looks as smooth as wvga? and it looks sharper too?

maybe might micro sd card is bad. i ran a speed test on it and it said it was a class 2 but it wrote at 3MBps, i think.

i upgraded my card from the stock 8GB to a 16GB class 2. maybe i'll experiment with my older cards.
[EVO 4G General] Samzebian:
lol I was joking about the asurion claim... Although I would have loved for the 003 evo I got yesterday to be a 004, unless the newer camera isn't better
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
There is concern that the new hw revision will fragment the otas as well as hinder rom cooking. Currently 004 devices run a different kernel and are at 3.30.something new today. Meanwhile 003 devices are (supposed to be) at 3.29.whatever

Well, does anyone that has HW 0004 have the same stuttering/pixelation issues?

I'm trying to troubleshoot my severe issues @ 720p recording.. I have HW 0003, root performed, and setcpu installed, still on stock rom.. and have replaced the class 2 card with an 8GB class 6 that has consistently gotten 11.4 to 12.2 write speeds via crystal disk mark (external-dont really believe it) and 5.7-8.5 via SD Tools (internal).. ran chkdsk on it and it was fine..

I'm totally stumped here.. was thinking about getting a class 10, but there's possibly no need except for added size..

Again, does anyone that has HW 0004 have the same stuttering/pixelation issues?
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Again, the hardware version doesnt matter. If anything, the newest version will have a worse camera.

There is really nothing you can do about it. It's the crappy codec and bitrate that htc/android uses to record 720p. You will get about the same quality video by using the h264 codec at 800x480. Of course, the resolution wont be there, but its much smoother and less pixelated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IcedCube:
Howdy all,

I've ordered a HTC HD2 from the UK and it's on the way to my location in Australia. Now, I was wondering if you could help me out here, as I've actually burnt some midnight oil (ie. stayed up way past my bed time) reading a handful of threads of flashing new ROMs and whatnot.

Note that when I say it's on it's way, I *don't* have the phone yet.

Here's my roadmap:

Check SPL -> HardSPL -> Custom ROM Flash -> Install Android -> Use Android -> ??? -> PROFIT ;)

I have downloaded HardSPL, a custom ROM called "OzDroidROM" mainly because it was built by an Australian cooker :P, and MeeJay's Froyo Sense Clean Android build.

The first thing I'll do when I get the device is to flash HardSPL. In order to do that, what stock ROM do I need to have an SPL that will allow me to flash that? I did read that SPL 1.42.0000 is required in order to flash HardSPL, what stock ROM features that SPL? I'm asking this because I might have older version of the SPL when I get my HD2.

Secondly, I see some custom ROMs have filenames of RUU_Signed.nbh. Does this mean that I can just copy to MicroSD Card, boot HD2 into SPL and flash away, or do I need a Gold Card? (I'm making a gold card as I speak).

I prefer not to use RUU update tools (because they have issues on Windows 7 x64) and also, my work computers are not Windows (I use an eMac and my laptop runs Linux). Last time I used a RUU Updater, I almost bricked my HTC Snap.

Thirdly, how is android battery life on the HD2? Does the battery drain like there's no tomorrow or is Android on the HD2 stable enough to just 'sip' the battery, and guzzle the battery when under heavy load?

Lastly, how do you flash the Radio? Do you download the Radio ROM, name it leoimg.nbh, pop it onto MicroSD, boot into SPL and flash from there? What is the best radio for WinMo and Android use?

Thanks for clearing this up. My head is spinning with this all these forum threads, some info contradict itself, etc etc.

Cheers,

IcedCube

its not a light... its a dark red lens that covers the optical trackball... there is no (visible) light what so ever in there... you just held the phone at a odd angle in the right light...

go look at any other optical TB if you dont believe me...they all have a dark red hue (regardless of the battery status on the phone)

unplug phone from charger, pull battery and look closely, it'll still be red, and without power nothing could possibly be "lighting up"
