[Droid X Android Development] tdrussell:
Apex has been basically bug free for me. I refuse to run a ROM that does not include (or allow use of) the droid x camera and the gallery (with working HDMI), as panoramic pictures and HDMI out are two capabilities of the phone (as a piece of hardware) that i use regularly and should not be excluded. Vignette is NOT better than the Droid X camera. Vignette is different.
[Droid X Android Development] VaughnGo:
Thanks for your help bmac! I will try installing the blurcamera.
[Droid X Android Development] bladebarrier:
Which software for the camera you prefer is subjective, I suppose.

Either way, cell phone cameras are crap.

If I don't have my DSLR or compact with me, I generally just won't bother taking a picture at all. I suppose a lot of people could care less about image quality, or are taking pictures purely to be shared in small form on the internet, and that would be a fine use for a phone camera.

In all honesty, I would have preferred if they had left the camera off of the phone entirely, in order to make more room for a larger battery. Of course that wouldn't sell well to the masses.
[Droid X Android Development] Jaxidian:
I would encourage you to check out Chevy's SSX (Simply Stunning X). Its a good mix of blur and provides a handy utility to remove many blur components.

Well, don't know if this has been touched on yet but.. performance after permanently rooting the phone and installing BaconBits is awesome.

Here's my homescreen.. picture is from yesterday (before BaconBits), but I put it up here to illustrate that the scores below were achieved under normal circumstances (with widgets and such running).

Quadrant score. Achieved with maximum allowable overclock after BaconBits.

BenchmarkPi score. Test finished almost comically fast- crazy stuff

Results from the BenchmarkPi test. The fact that this phone can place in the top 100 with minimal effort, with widgets and apps running in the background, is awesome. Battery life hasn't suffered either!

How are things looking for everybody else out there?

So far, this thing is surprising me. I OC'd it, loaded up Quadrant and was pleased to hit the 2499 score threshold. I think I can punch to a solid 2500 but maybe later.

Now to just wait for the official ROM. I'm absolutely loving my phone even more.

[Desire General] Floris2310:
Hi all,

I have a new Desire since yesterday. I have to say the device is fantastic! There is just one minor issue:

The lights under the hardware buttons are sometimes off with nu particular reason. Sometimes they are turned on and off randomly. Sometimes they are just fine (always on when I'm using the phone).

Could somebody tell me when the lights are supposed to be on and when supposed to be off? Could this be a hardware problem, or is it software?

I run stock 2.2. No root. But there is one OTA update that I will download within the next couple of hours (not enough battery left for the moment).

If the problem is solved after updating, I will post it here :-)

Sorry for my english. I'm Belgian.

If there is no way to boot into the Galaxy Tab at all!

Is there any way you can restore the whole Galaxy Tab without taking it to Samsung Service Centre??
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Go to samsung.com and click on Galaxy Tab, then downloads and specify your type of carrier.... then you can download the manual... a great thing!

Here's what the one for t-mobile says to reset:

Factory Data Reset

From this menu you can reset your tablet and sound settings to

the factory default settings.

1. From Idle mode, touch ➔ Settings ➔ Privacy.

2. Touch Factory data reset.

This action erases all data from your tablet except current

system software and bundled applications, or SD card files

such as music or photos.

3. Touch Reset tablet.
[Galaxy Tab General] orosalsero:
You can try this hard reset method:

Reset Galaxy Tab with Hardware Keys

If Android OS is not loading then you can hard reset Galaxy Tab using hardware Keys combination.

* Make sure tab is turned off, Press and hold the Power button for about 10 seconds to turn it off.

* Press and hold the “Volume Up” and “Power” buttons at the same time, when logo appears on the screen release the “Power” button and continue press the “Volume” button

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gol_n_dal:
Hi folks,

Just a thought,

Is there a clear view on where real battery drain occurs, by this I mean (for example):

o Radio;

o Kernel;

o Keep Alive Apps / General Health Apps / Background Apps.

Incompatibility between components, e.g. Radio and ROM fight over timing or API issues or .....

Like dzontra11 I'm interesterested in having a phone (good battery life like my old 6210 or 6310i) and occasional Game Use with Internet Browsing (including Gmail sync). WIFI in the flat (90%) and a little 3G around and about.

So I guess I'm asking which combos work best for general use and still be usable. My phone (won't say which radio/ROM combo ATM) informed me earlier that the battery was low, which it was. The sodding phone turned off 2 secs later @ 17%.

In my past life I looked at a lot of system performance issues (usually the classic CPU, I/O & Memory). So I'm guessing where are the current thoughts on this are by people that know in detail.

Regards

Colin

[Captivate Android Development] realawill:
Thank you for this. Excellent information for someone like me who mixes and matches to get a custom rom to my liking!
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
I have a few questions. Why do some modems use more battery then others. If you have lets say jg8 or a jpp modem for example. I would believe they would draw the same amount since they all use the same bands. I'm sure their is more to this then just that like how specific algorithms are used to find a signal and perhaps maintain it.

I am interested in this because i would like to know for a fact which modems for i9000 and which ones for captivate would get the best battery life and signal. In order to find the best modem.

I know Eugene's old frankin twiz had the best battery life / signal i've ever seen on this phone and was wondering why it worked so well.
[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
Was eugene doing any UVing? I have turned off the WCDMA 1900 band on my phone as it seems to always have a weaker signal than WCDMA 850 in my area. If I go off to another city or something that I think should have WCDMA coverage but isn't working on 850, I'll re-enable 1900. So far it seems like my battery is lasting longer, but it's only been today that I made the change. No undervolting yet and standard overclock. How much battery life are you after? I was probably getting about 16 - 24 hours before I made the change. I was getting better battery life with Cog 2.1.7 and undervolting, but I expect the undervolting had a considerable impact. Your best option is probably to grab some more of the i9000 2.2 modems and just run them to see if they give you any better or worse life.

[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
HSUPA

Might want to add that only the I9000 modems support HSUPA.

And while HSUPA primarily benefits upload speed, there is a secondary impact on download speed. Received packets require acknowledgments (in the case of TCP, not UDP) that must be uploaded. If the upload path becomes congested, downloads will stop until received packets are acknowledged. This can happen if multiple PCs share the connection (tethering), or if multiple connections (socket connections) are in use. A single browser by itself can tie up 4 connections, more in some cases, per site. Have two browser tabs or windows open, do a file download etc., you can see how this can happen. HSUPA opens up that upload pipe.
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
Here is another AT&T (Captivate) Froyo 2.2 modem, JI2, and three more I9000 Froyo 2.2 modems, JP6, JPK, and JPA

These ARE NOT CWM ready, they are just the bin zipped up as XDA does not allow bin uploads.

[Captivate Android Development] lilmanx01:
Thanks!! I have been doing some reading on modems and was trying to understand it all. This is def. a big big help!

So if I understand this correctly...

1. The "UCJJ4 - AT&T Captivate (Uses WCDMA 850 by default)" is a HSUPA modem, and the HSUPA is what many are after?

2. If I am already using this modem and I see WCDMA 850 Band 5 when using *#0011#... I alread have HSUPA enabled, correct?

Based on my previous question:

3. And if I wanted I could set it to solely use this or set it to automatic for 850 and 1900, right?

Thank you in advance for any insight!!
[Captivate Android Development] mrkava:
clarifications needed

Thanks for the post. I've had a lot of modem questions, and I'm glad you started this thread!

1. Since JJ4 and JI6 are Captivate modems with WCDMA 850 enabled, are any of the steps with JG8 needed if you stick with a 2.2 Captivate ROM?

2. Is the reason we want WCDMA 850 vs. WCDMA 1900 primarily for the better distance 850 gives vs 1900?

3. Does WCDMA imply HSDPA and HSUPA (when enabled in the modem)?

4. Your instructions say (after the initial stock/JG8) to put a JG8 modem in the i9000 ROM, upgrade/reboot, then apply a "proper i9000 modem." Why? This seems to mix the 2.2 ROM with a 2.1 modem. Also, if the i9000 ROM already has a 2.2 modem, why flash the JG8 one first?

TIA! :-)
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
NO HSUPA on AT&T

No, read the first sentence of my post one page back on HSUPA. As I said there, NO AT&T modems have HSUPA. WCDMA implies 3G, which always implies HSDPA, but does not imply HSUPA. The highspeed upload will only be usable if you are running a correct modem/kernel pairing, and if it is available in your area.

HSUPA can be found on both 850 and 1900.

You should be fine on 850 on a Captivate rom without starting first with JG8. Just remember, this configuration will not have HSUPA if that is important to you.

Many areas only have 850.

You are correct, it does mix a 2.2 rom with a 2.1 modem. The purpose is ONLY to re-enable the 850 band. That's why you SHOULD NOT leave it this way, but replace it with a 2.2 modem as soon as you have your rom/kernel up and running on 850.
[Captivate Android Development] psxstudio:
hmm... this is interesting. I'm in southern cali and my cappy always stays on 1900 band and hsupa is great so far. On speedtest, I was getting 2-3K dl and 1.5-2K upload speeds with almost full signal strength. I gotta check the wifey's cappy (still stock) and see if we have 850 in our area.

Juice defender has a 2G/3G toggle option bit I can't get it to work with my ROM. it tries to install an AOSP helper.
[Captivate Android Development] NISMOFO:
Some literature i found on the juice defender forum.....

http://feedback.latedroid.com/forums/70437-general/topics/71011-hit-a-problem-have-a-suggestion-/category/6615-juicedefender/filter/completed

UPDATE: starting from v3.1.6, JD will detect if the ROM is compatible and only prompt to install the AOSP helper if it is.

________________

The AOSP helper nowadays is *only* used to toggle between 3G/2G only. If it can't be installed correctly, the relevant option in JuiceDefender will simply not be available. It does NOT affect in any way any other aspect of JD's functioning: if Setup fails to install it, there's really nothing to worry about!

As you might know Android doesn't provide an API to toggle 3G/2G - it can only be done manually by the user. The AOSP helper uses a "workaround" in order to do this, but it *requires* an AOSP-built ROM to work (hence the name). Note that this excludes, now and forever, carrier- or manufacturer-made ROMs, as well as *derived* ROMs - e.g. if you have HTC Sense, you won't get the AOSP helper. (An exception to this rule: some "leaked" ROMs *might* work)

In practice the only ROMs known to work are CyanogenMod (any version) and the Nexus One stock ROM - if you have a different ROM with a working AOSP helper let me know in the comments!

The AOSP helper might work on other "pure" AOSP custom ROMs - it just requires signing by the "cook". If you want the AOSP helper to work with your custom ROM, contact me - I'll send you the apk for you to sign. From v2.1.9 on 3g/2g toggling does NOT require UltimateJuice. I found that it can save tons of juice (on the N1), so it would be nice for your users to have it, and save a lot of battery with the free JuiceDefender! ;)

Modem version effect on battery life and call quality

I have tried to get the JPP modem to work in the past with my AT&T Captivate (WCDMA 850) but it didn't work. I've seen the only reliable way is to flash to stock, flash the JG8 modem, and then the JPP modem. However, I run a custom ROM - Phoenix 3.5 currently. Once I flash to that ROM (JK4 modem) will I then be able to successfully get JPP to work? Once I flash the new ROM, isn't what I had before irrelevant?

Also, I am using the KP1 modem right now. GPS is very good, speeds are very good, but my battery life is not great. I've done a battery stats wipe. Does the modem version have much of an impact on battery life or is it insignificant compared to running brightness at 100% and general usage? If there is a significant difference, I could try the JPP modem provided I should be able to get it to work with a custom ROM

Thanks in advance for any info.

Also, I "thought" the modem would only affect data transfer (GPS, upload/download speeds, etc). Does it make a significant difference on call quality? That with the best GPS are my main concerns - then speed , then battery life

[Captivate Android Development] Stealthed_Rouge:
I started off with cog3. 02 an amazingly just from stock rom... Then flashed ji6 modem battery life took a dump.. So i flashed FB2.. Which is not compatable with the ji6 to my understanding... (i live in central okla deep rural) But my gps and data was amazing gps would lock with two bars in under 10seconds and dl speed was around 1.2mb ul was averaging 300kb.. So in learning this i wanted to choose a modem that would not kill my batt so i flashed kp4. This was the worst modem choice for me batt usage was still bad gps wouldent hardly lock and dats speeds no good.. So i went with the jl3... So far so good data is good gps is decent (not as good as ji6) and batt consumption is way better.. As of now im at 12 hrs hvy usage and 20% batt life...

My two cents on what ive learned and used so far..
