Market deception? Swype errors?

HEY ALL, HOPE SOMEONE CAN SHARE YOUR OPINIONS OR KNOWLEDGE

I noticed with the last few froyo roms (currently on this one) , swype has been absolutely terrible with accuracy: And when downloading from the market, it downloads, gets to 100 percent and just stops in the status bar... when i go to the market to see what the progress is, it says downloading but is just sitting there....I have to download numerous times in order for an app to install... this uses up a lot of data im sure.

can someone shed some light on these issues?

i would appreciate it good people

Market issue: Settings>applications>manage>market>clear data>reboot.

Don't use swype but try pushing one from euguenes Rom or installing and re installing. Kraft clear data on that as well.

GPS and data...

I have two questions, if anyone that is using this can answer I'd be very thankful.

How accurate is GPS? On Bionix Final R1 I get around 12-22mts, which is terrible by today's standards; on my previous phone (HTC Aria) I used to get 3-6mts.

Does this constantly kill your data connection and you have to toggle Airplane Mode like Eugene's ROM?

Thank you!

I have been messing around with this ROM for a while now and it has some real problems when booting into ROM Manager. Gets stuck on the Vibrant screen nearly every time. Abandoning this and trying to get another stock version else where. Does anyone know of a good base to work with that's out there?

[Vibrant Android Development] Keslynn:
I have the same issue. Any solutions?
[Vibrant Android Development] Keslynn:
I found the answer to the recovery issue in another thread:

1. Download Busybox Installer from the Market

2. Install the latest version of Busybox

3. Go into ROM Manager and select Flash Clockwork Recovery

4. Reboot into recovery via ROM Manager

5. It'll boot into standard recovery so select "reinstall packages" (you may have to do this twice)

6. Joy!

Hello,

I a newbie at this but was able to flash this rom from original samsung vibrant firmware 2.1 . Before I flashed the file, I used clockwork to make a back up of my system. Now that I have flashed this rom, what would happen if I go into the clockwork rom manager and flash my backup[recovery} that I made before ? Would it take me back to stock 2.1 or would it brick it ? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
i think you will be stuck on vibrant screen because 2.2 kernel it is not the same as 2.1 you just can use titanium backup for restoring your apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] ibnturab:
Thanks Reyland. What would be the best way to go back to stock. I searched and saw several different files for stock samsung vibrant but most of them appear to be from the summer when it first came out. My vibrant had the J2V or something like that.

I have been using this rom with the A14 kernel clocked out to 1200...not one issue or hiccup. Fast as **** and loving it. Don't plan on changing any time soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] Reyland:
Well , if you want to go back to 2.1 try flashing a 2.1 compatible kernel then restore you backup, that ,if you can get to recovery, if not you will need to use odin!

My question is after I installed this rom, everything on my phone was erased including the rom manager ap. Do I have to redownload rom manager, should I revert back to stock? Or is it saved on my SD and just go to recovery mode?

Has this been confirmed to work on the T-Mobile SGH T959V? I have bricked my phone because I installed other rom that were said to be compatible with the this model of phone. The other issue I have had is that the rom flashed okay but then I had no signal and could only used wifi calling to make or recieve calls. It seems that no one has the stock T959VUVKD1 Rom that is originally installed on the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
No this will not work for you. I know the modems are different and not sure what else. Either keep looking for KD1 or flash the latest (KF1?)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkalo:
I've tried many: cliquick, finger keyboard, swype, slideit, resco keyboard, spb keyboard - each one has advantages - concerning type speed or available languages, or size of buttons etc. But I finally stayed at the default HTC keyboard with reduced screen sensitivity (through BsB tweaks) and I've used to type quite fast. It just takes some time and training especially if you've used to a resistive screen device.

There is nothing special with my screen, because when I am using Android it is without problems, and the same is with keyboard replacement, because touch area for the keys is redefined.

The problem here is just simple design of the default keyboard and hypersensitivity, so something from area such as WM touch drivers and HTC keyboard. But that's another story :)

I guarentee this will fix it. The rom is not that good though. I'd stick with CORE CELLV3 if I were you. The COOKIES HOME TAb 2.0 BETA thats in V4 causes many problems and even COOKIEMONSTER advised against cooking it into roms.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fly1nP4nda:
Long story short, I flashed to CM6 a while back when RC1 was released and was happily using it for a bit. I encountered a situation that randomly appeared somehow (probably involved using a non-mt3g usb car charger but I don't recall the specifics) where my USB functions did not work anymore.

The phone will not mount the sdcard via usb, adb and fastboot does not detect the phone via usb, and the phone does not charge when "on" but I found out it charges normally when "off" using any charger (official mt3g charger or the usb car charger) and will be fully charged within 2hrs on the 1A wall charger.

I haven't found a solution yet and I've been debating whether it is a hardware/software issue. Any input would be helpful :)

Oh the headphone/mic attachment works fine as well but that is probably not related to the standard mini usb port/pins since the htc extusb includes pins for audio in/out
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
This has happened to me twice now, I've had to replace my D2 because it keeps bricking for some reason. I don't know why, but now whenever I try to download something from my SD card (a rom or a theme) It just bricks. I go to mounts/storage, click on that then I go to download from SD, I select my rom and it doesn't work. It'll go to the boot logo, show Matt's logo (I used Matts Epic2.5) and won't stop repeating it over and over again.

Sometimes it'll show the whole logo, then after maybe 5 times it'll show half the logo then stop and keep repeating this process. I don't know why, but it used to always work in the past. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to wipe my data and cache every time now? I never had to before.

I really miss my Droid 1 (root wise lol)
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
BTW, I don't know if this means anything, but do I need to deodex my phone or however you say it :S, sorry I'm really new to droid 2. I don't even know what deodex means lol. Anyone help me on explaining what that means?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Deodexing or de-odex-ing is how it makes more sense to me just means that all of the apk's or applications on your phone are together and don't have stray .odex files in the /system/app folder (or wherever they're located). Phone dev's will leave these .odex files out of the .apk's so that load times are supposedly faster but the file called services.jar which needs to be edited for detailed themes has to be de-odexed before it can be edited and if one file is de-odexed then the others should all be.

I'm not sure what specifically the problem is and please don't be offended if I'm going too far but in order to mount /system the entry in mounts/storage has to read "unmount /system". Make sure the you've got the entire ROM, but wiping cache and data is worth a shot too.

Also if you have a major problem with your droid 2 you just need to flash the .sbf there are two different ways to do it (and two versions of the sbf). One in windows and the other in linux and (thanks to me lol) the linux version is available to anybody with a windows computer too.
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
Yeah I fixed my phone today using the windows sbf. Do you think it's worth it to deodex my phone? And I don't know what the problem seems to be I have the full rom and I never had to wipe before :/ I guess I'll just wipe every time now.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Most of the ROM's now are de-odexed so you shouldn't have to the only reason you would need to is to theme. To check and see if it's deodexed just use Terminal emulator and enter

$ cd /system/app
$ ls

This means change directory to /system/app then list the files in there.(it's a lower case L)

If there are files that end in .odex then it's not de-odexed.
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
UPDATE: I sbf my phone and got it "unbricked". So I just got root access and then I tried to instal the 2.5 Epic Rom. These are the steps I went through.

1. Went to Titanium Backup and restored my Droid Bootstrapper app.

2. Opened the app and did the Flash Recovery, is said success then I went into recovery mode.

4. I went to Mounts and Storage, pressed OK on Mount/system

5. Went to Install from SD Card.

6. Went to EUnleashed2.5 (however it is)

7. It installed only halfway and said install is complete and the screen would just sit there when it was only less than halfway full.

9. Now my phone is bricked again and I am currently unbricking it.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: By the way, if those things that I clicked on aren't exactly right, it was because I was typing it from memory because my phone was bricked and I couldn't actually see them.
[Droid 2 General] karnovaran:
First, you have not been bricked - you've had bootloops, which means some files are corrupted, missing, or incompatible. You can cure a bootloop, but you can't cure a brick.

My guess is you're trying to install Epic 2.5, which has 2.2.20 baseband/kernel dependencies, over your new 2.3.20 baseband/kernel from the sbf. In other words, Epic 2.5 can't and won't install on your phone anymore. You'll have to wait for Epic 3.0 or use another ROM that has been built off 2.3.20.
[Droid 2 General] HerroMoto:
Lol thanks, that makes a lot more sense to me now. I just saw his post about 3.0, I can't wait till it comes out. Thanks for the help!

Alright, having had stock android for almost the last 2 years I really want to keep an open mind about the genius button. It's actually really nice when driving but sometimes takes kinda long to initialize.

When I press the button it instantly opens the genius app but takes another 3-6 seconds (sometimes longer) before it is ready to receive the voice command. Is that normal? Sometimes it goes faster, almost instantly, but there's so much variation that it's kinda annoying.

What are your experiences? Is it just my phone that does that?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supraman123:
hi everyone, i'm no expert on phone, so don't kill me if i sound stupid

been using my galaxy S for about 4 months now. and yes it does lag compare to the iphone, or other HTC phones. so i been trying to find out, what's going on? why is my top end phone lagging? here's what i found:

1) when does it start to lag badly?

i installed system panel which gives me a nice list of active and inactive apps, and how much free ram i have left. the phone ALWAYS starts to lag like crazy when ram gets below 60mb. this is a problem - samsung is not giving us enough free ram to play with as once we run a few apps (market, internet especially), we're reaching the 60mb point already. when the phone gets to the 60mb mark it tries to manage the apps by closing some less important ones. but it lags BADLY while doing so.

what's gonna happen is the phone gonna get into this never ending cycle of closing apps and laggin as it's stuck in around the 50mb-60mb mark.

i can solve this by going to system panel and closing all inactive apps. then the ram is gonna go back to around 140mb. however after opening a few apps, once again it goes back to below 60mb and the lag starts again.

2) autokiller

guys been saying autokiller is great and they go with the aggressive settings. i tried it and it made the phone worse. why? because instead of killing apps at the 60mb mark it starts killing apps even sooner! that's wasting battery, wasting free ram, and making the phone even slower. we don't have enough free ram to begin with, so we should make max use of it. here's how i do it:

1) root the phone. install autokiller from the market.

2) instead of using high aggressive settings, use the LOWEST settings. i use advanced mode and then enter all values to 8mb only.

now it is awesome!! the phone never lags until you get it down to around the 20mb mark. you now have around 40mb of extra ram to use (of course autokiller does use some ram but no big deal). the lag starts much latter. u may not think 40mb is a lot but it is in practice!

if you dont believe me, you can try it. it may or may not work for u, but it's definitely working for me. of course, once the ram falls below 20mb, it may be a good idea to close some inactive apps yourself, LOL

but really, samsung should give us at least 100mb more free ram, i can't believe i even have to do this!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DamianGto:
Well you point one issue that lag happens, but almost every custom kernel/Rom use memory tweak that Make you around 40MB more to start with.

And yes autokiller don't work good.

The program in the phone is the best to use.

The main lag issue is the filesystem.

Even these can be fixed with many different kernel/Rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supraman123:
i don't disagree with what you're saying. but a few things to add:

1) i have not applied lag fix myself but i have a friend who has. i dont feel his phone is much quicker than mine in reality. also, his phone crashed after a few weeks and he had to do a hard reset. what we REALLY need is more ram. if we have lots of ram, who cares about the file system? we don't even need any swap from the file system. just let everything stays in ram where it is the quickest.

2) i'm not using any custom roms. if custom roms give me extra 40mb, and then i adjust the auto killer setting to low, that gives me 80mb extra to play with. great.

autokiller DOES work good i feel if you're doing what i'm saying. maybe u have already tried what i'm doing, i don't know, but if you have not, then i highly recommend you to try it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supraman123:
like i said i'm no expert on this, but autokiller is so easy to install and adjust, and that i feel anyone here can use it

maybe flashing custom firmware is easy to do, i haven't tried it, but it sounds complicated to do for me, and i don't want really big changes on my phone, i want it to be extremely stable and safe as i use it a lot for business. i don't really want to risk any data or risk reinstalling stuff.

so maybe i sound uneducated but like i said i suggest everyone to try this method if they're newbies and don't wanna do too much
