[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] critterhart:
So, my GVoice app stopped working about a week ago. It would just crash on load. I went to clear the cache for it, and it was at 1.17GB. It wouldn't clear, I couldn't delete it with temproot. I renamed the folder, and that fixed it. The data is still there though.

The next day I went into my app management, and my browser, facebook, and a couple other apps have around 500-800MB. Again, I hit clear data/clear cache, it doesn't give me an error, but it also doesn't clear it.

Any idea whats going on? This happening to anyone else? I have run the cache cleaner from recovery as well. I just updated tot he new OTA, problem is still there. Everything seems to run fine though.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgifford:
Sounds like something you did in one of your applications or in the settings is "Protecting" the cache. My best suggestion when all else fails is backup using titanium backup and then do a restore to factory settings and data in both bootloader and in recovery. Backup the sd card and wipe it as well, then just put personal data back to your sd card and restore with titanium, and all problems should be resolved

Saw this over at android central and just wondering if we can install this on our phones?

And Here is the link for kies in europe

http://bit.ly/cfjJDa
[Fascinate General] fallingup:
no. do not even try.

And to anyone else that thinks they can flash other galaxy s device's software, stop, dont do it, it can brick your phone.
[Fascinate General] Chuban7:
i pretty sure that is for all galaxy s phone in general
[Fascinate General] marcviado:
actually its only for the uk galaxy s device

you need your phone to be in usb kies mode

which i dont think u.s galaxy devices have,my fascinate

doesnt have it..

sio i wouldnt recomend any u.s galaxy s users

to be trying this,and just wait for the u.s release

which is lookin to be nov.11

[anybody correct me if im wrong]
[Fascinate General] Chuban7:
Thank you for clear that up but has anybody even tried this just wondering?
[Fascinate General] CrushD:
This has been said multiple times, do NOT flash anything from any other Galaxy S variant. If it does not say for the Fascinate, you will be heading straight to brick. Please please just read around, never assume, you'll find this point has been gone over many times.

People who try have gotten bricked.
[Fascinate General] Chuban7:
well just saying isnt the kies app for any galaxy s phone

Did you even read your own link? Not one mention of the fascinate. If you have any sense you will have froyo when there is a rom posted here.

And now it's a non development discussion in the development section.

To keep the developers happy READ THIS.

good day.
[Fascinate General] anaphora68:
I would suggest reading every other 2.2 thread in this forum.

If you flash the UK 2.2 on the Fascinate, you might as well take your phone, throw it into a wall, run it over with a car, and set it on fire. You will have a brick.
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
You should try it then tell us how it runs after you brick it...

Do you want it to come with sense ui as well?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
When Samsung releases something for the Galaxy S, they mean the original one, the GT-i9000, which is the European GSM version. Every single US variant has slightly different hardware than that one, meaning the new release WILL NOT WORK on them!!! Anything Samsung releases will not work on US Galaxy S variants, and Samsung has warned people with US versions to not try to use Kies. The US variants will receive their upgrade from their respective carriers, NOT directly from Samsung.

There, end of discussion.

This is the battery life I got on Sprint's new Evo 2600mah extended battery with medium use. This was taken with 5% left on the battery.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Nice... i cant sacrifice the size for it though
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Have you found a cover for the Evo with the extended back.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Seido makes a case but its really pricey.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
yea not worth the increased size imho still nice battery life
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
Same here. Anything bigger than stock is too big.

Sent From My HTC Evo 4G Using Tapa Talk Pro!
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
No I have not found a case.

The battery is not something I would want to use on a daily basis but for traveling or if your going to be without a charger for an extended period of time it will be nice.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
I always keep a backup battery in my wallet, heh. I bought the 1800mAh battery from htcexpress that is said to last longer than the original, and you don't need another back.
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
I have the 3500 battery (for about 6 weeks now) and I don't notice the bigger back. It actually makes the phone feel better in my hand. The extra battery life is great. I don't use any kind of case or screen protector anymore. The phoneis doing just fine.
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
Same here, I was skeptical at first, but I like being able to actually use my phone. The extra bulk isn't bad.
[EVO 4G General] gigadigit:
what's the highest mAh i can get with stock back cover.
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
i believe 2200, but not sure... i know there is an 1800....
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
1800 for sure any more and the battery manufacturer might start stretching the truth about the actual mah especially if its a china battery.

[EVO 4G General] ifiwasperfect:
Stop complaining about a bigger back if u havent actually felt it IN HAND. Bigger battery back feels GREAT and makes the phone more manly. As adam carolla would say "in 50 years we'll all be chicks"! (no to mention the black on white on black looks sooooo sweet on my white evo!
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I switched back to my standard battery today and it was at 50% about a 1/3 through the day.
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
Yeah, the Sprint extended battery is great. It's a Li-Polymer.
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
Li-Polymer would be horrible with a device that requires much charging...
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
I've had mine since day one, and I've not had any issues. I can go 2 days on a charge with normal usage for me. It charges up in a decent manner too.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
I posted that I had switched back to the stock battery but I have now realized that the extended really spoiled me. Today I used the 2600 again, I took it off the charger at noon and its now almost 6pm @ 89% left. The extended battery is really starting to grow on me and it really feels good in hand.
[EVO 4G General] teshxx:
does it charge completely while battery is in the phone or do you have to charge it with the external charger like the 3500 seidio ?
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
I'm not really sure where some of you people sleep if you need to carry around a brick just to get 2 days battery life lol.

Joking aside, it's nice but just looks silly
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
I must have a very power hungry evo or a very poor battery. I got mine a few days ago, and mine lasts just a day with average usage.... About 20 minutes of phone calls, 20-30 minutes of wifi web browsing, 10-15 minutes of youtube, and quite a bit of texting. I took mine off the charger at 9am this morning, it's 7:51 now, and the battery is down to 49%...
[EVO 4G General] potna:
Every once in awhile my evo will go just over 2 hrs per

1% battery drain while not using it. I can go about 1.5 to 2 days per battery charge.

I think the battery issues have been resolved and I didn't sacrifice anything to get great battery life. It's too bad that web sites that did reviews on the evo back at launch wouldn't amend there opinions and reviews with all the nice updates and better battery life we all can get off of stock roms.

I bought a kit with 2 Chinese 1800 batteries and a wall charger for about $20. The cheap batteries do seem to last a tad longer then stock but I get so much variance its hard to tell, but the cheap ones do last just as good as stock.

I used to have one in the charger and one in my pocket and one in the phone, but I have gotten to where I just leave both batteries not in use at home.
[EVO 4G General] mackstuart:
They have other batteries that are better.

If you are going to get an extended battery, order it off of e bay. they have 3500mah extended batteries and 2000mah slim batteries that are better than any of the batteries sprint offer stock. Check them out.
[EVO 4G General] MattySauce:
Mugen power 1700

I have the MugenPower 1750mA battery which is the size of a regular and I definitely get more juice out of it than stock HTC.
[EVO 4G General] kybeck55:
same here i like the bulk it makes it easier to hold. and the extra battery life is great.. try ebay i got mine for $10.50 with shipping
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
The 1st time I had to use an external charger but since the first charge it seems to be fine. The external charger I use is a Seidio from Amazon I like it because I always have a fully charged battery. This is the link to to the charger I use it has worked great.

http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Multifunction-Battery-Charger-Verizon/dp/B00133YUOK/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289247482&sr=8-1-fkmr0
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Get an external charger. Read the post above this one. Your Evo is probably not putting a full charge on your extended battery so an external charger seems to do the trick.
[EVO 4G General] onyx00:
I disagree only because BatteryBoss has tested most of what is out there and nothing has really beaten the stock HTC battery in terms of actual mAh except the oversized batteries.

So unless you want to go oversized, then might as well stick to stock.

But yeah, I would like more life out of the stock sized batteries - it's always awkward going home with a girl and asking to plug your phone in to charge it...you know, before you get down to "business" :D
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
Just wanted to pass along information on how to get a discount from Sprint on this battery: if you are a Premier customer.

You will need to call them to purchase it. Sprint is usually good about waiving shipping charges if you ask.

Premier customer get a 25% discount on accessories if you buy two or more (they changed this policy back in July - it used to be 25% off all).

Get the battery and the Palm Pixi "Protective Leather Sleeve" which is on sale for $3.99.

My total for both was $44.24 plus tax. AND, I get a leather case to carry my stock battery in.;)

If you are not already a Premier customer, I believe all you need is 6 months of service with out any payment problems.
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
I'm sorry, I must not be understanding. What do you mean by an external charger?
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
I just purchased this from Sprint and must say it did not add much bulk at all, and is very worth it. Just sayin..
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
An external is a charger that you put your battery in once you have removed it from the phone. Here is a link to the one I have works great.

Hey everyone,

I've noticed that when I put a custom kernel on my Evo, it works great for the first few hours after reboot but then starts seriously lagging and I'm forced to reboot and it works just fine after that till the lagging begins again.

I've used the stock HTC kernel and my phone works fine for days without rebooting.

I've tried Netarchy's kernels, KingKlick's kernels, all the CFS/BFS/HAVS variants of them and they're still super laggy after a few hours.

Does anyone else have this same experience?

like do i need to wipe cache and dalvik as well as make a nondroid backup before doing so ?

2. should i flash the radio and then the pri before rebooting in between?

thanks in advance :D

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummygit:
I'll start by saying that I'm not very Android literate, but I need some help.

I bought my wife a White Xperia X10 in the last week from Expansys - unlocked and unbranded. When it arrived it came with a euro power adaptor and French leaflets in the box. Expansys also sent me a UK power adaptor and so a simple change of the language had it working fine.

Today it is not seeing the UK firmware update - does this mean I haven't got a UK phone, and how can I check? The back of the phone under the battery shows Sl 1232-4307 and with a google I think my phone is:

X10i GT-FR GENERIC 1233-2796 1232-4307 Customized FR/Luster white

Now I'm not very happy as I wanted to buy a UK phone, but knowing Expansys customer services its going to be easier to try to solve this myself.

Is it possible to make the phone believe that it is a UK Generic model so I can use SEUS to get the update and have it work as I wanted originally - as a UK handset?

I need some pretty straight forward instructions as I am not Android aware, although I am pretty IT literate.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypercore:
Why do you want it to be a UK handset? To update to 2.1?

If so, go to THIS thread and download the "Executable" file link or just click HERE to download it directly.

When the download is complete, just extract the files to somewhere on your computer, backup any contacts/apps (if any), and turn off your phone. Right after the phone powers off, take out the battery for 30+ seconds (to be safe), plug it back in, then hold the back (arrow pointing left) button and plug in the USB cable. Your LED should go a solid green. If this happens, execute the "X10Flash.bat" file from the folder you downloaded and wait. It should take about 2-5 minutes, and when it's done you will have 2.1 on your phone.

Enjoy.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brummygit:
Thanks very much for the information.

I wanted to become a standard unbranded UK handset to simply use SEUS to keep up to date afterwards. It's my wife's phone so it needs to be simple to keep it up to date.

I was also concerned that I might not get all of the right carrier settings etc unless I use UK firmware.

Finally I noticed this evening that there are some French apps on the phone for finding restaurants etc - I assumed that if I got a UK localised version I would benefit.

Are my assumptions wrong?

Thanks again for your help.

Is there a way to find out if one of your contacts have video chat compatibility?

And if so, a way to tell what app they use so you can use it to?

I don't want to have to ask every contact whether or not that have a front-facing camera and what app they use if they do.
[myTouch 4G General] dcam1075:
I am not totally positive but I noticed when I installed Tango it pulled over a few of my contacts and put them in the Tango contact list. I take this to mean that somehow Tango knows they also have Tango. Of course the contacts it brought over are not people I normally talk to much so I am not going to try and video chat them, but I am planning on testing it out later with a friend that has Tango on an i-phone.
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
also if you sign into qik, it will show you in your contact list who is also signed in by having a little green camera next to their name
[myTouch 4G General] hammondnav:
If people in your contacts are also on Qik you start getting those "link" notifications. Kinda like how you can link a person who's on your Google and Facebook contacts. Once the contact is linked to his/her Qik account, you'll see a small camera icon next to their name.

Yet another Q&D MOD. Trackpad wake. If you're like me, I hate the placement of the power button. I have used minotauri's ad block MOD as a springboard for this. So, enjoy!

Requirements:

Root or Temp Root via VISIONary or equivalent

Busybox

Gscript (included in the zip)

*1.22.531.8 FW - Recommended

Instructions Updated:

Download gscript.zip below

Copy the package to the ROOT of you sdcard and extract it to gscript *very important!

There will now be a gscript folder on your SDcard.

Using a file manager Install Gscript.apk (inside /sdcard/gscript)

Exit your file manager

Open Gscript via app drawer

Press Menu

Add Script

Load File

Select vision-tp-wake

Ensure "Needs SU?" is checked

Save

Run Script

**The phone will then do a "Hot Restart", let it boot again et voila!

If you want to use baconbits kernel, download the zip below and flash via clockwork.

If you have Temp-Root:

This needs to be ran again after every reboot.

If you have Perm-Root:

Run this once, that's it.

*Note - I am a poor script writer. :p

**This will probably work for other newer HTC devices with trackpad too. I.e. Desire Z, MT4G, etc...

***There is an incompatibility with cm's original baconbits. If you are using the stock kernel this will work fine. However, if you want to use baconbits, I have updated the kernel to now work with this mod. Download below.
