+1 one for me... I have got a TOPA100, it's almost impossible to wake up the device, sometimes the lockscreen is visible, but it's impossible to move the unlock slider. Usually I need about 10 times and something around 5 Minutes to wake up the device.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Klootzak NL:
Same problem here, would be great if this can be fixed...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] kmauch:
For me it's the same and the battery runs only for one hour, I think a (system?)process is running with 100% CPU time. I am new to android, so I don't know where to look. :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] eigenVector:
Same here on an AT&T Pure. Sure would love to get this fixed however I'm reasonably noob to the Android world (not completely novice to linux in general, and I have successfully flashed my AT&T TyTN II thanks to this site.) Fixing this would be a huge help!

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] eigenVector:
More specifically on my device I encounter. The following:

- Turn screen off via end button.

- Turn on screen via call button.

HW button lights come on for a few seconds then cut themselves off.

Screen does not turn on at this point.

- Turn on screen via call button again

- Screen comes on with HW button lights

about half the time screen is unresponsive and will not all me to unlock with swipe of finger

Other times will accept input and unlock to the home screen

When unresponsive repeating entire process above will likely allow me to unlock successfully.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] moharu:
same

my screen never wakes up

end up using soft reset to windows mobile

(it could be something to do with startup??)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seriouslyjeff:
I've got CM 6.1 right now and have trackball colors in succession. I have my handcent so it lights up different colors for different people using the notification settings within the app itself but I was wondering if there was a way to get different people to light the trackball in succession. Currently whoever has text me last will replace the color of the person who had text me before. For example Jane text me and it is purple, I get an email and it is red, missed call orange. so in succession purple-red-orange-purple-red-orange. If I get a text from joe it will replace the purple with his color which is blue making it blue-red-orange-blue-red-etc. Can it be made so that joe would not replace Jane adding an extra color for the two different people? As in; purple-blue-red-orange-purple-blue-red-etc?????? Lol this is just an example, names and colors are made up but the theory of what I'd like to accomplish is very real!:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i doubt you can do that. but i have a question, when you use color succession, do you see a decrease in battery life? i know the warning is there, but i never tried it. do you know the reason why they put that there, what findings did they conclude that from etc?

Can someone tell me how to copy the firmware from a Samsung Galaxy please? I know you use Odin to reflash it, but I would like to back up my phone properly before I do anything like this as a precaution.

What software do I use to do this?

Failing this is there anywhere I can get a copy of the O2 Andriod 2.1 * I9000ADJM1 ) firmware as it appears to be the only version I cannot find anywhere on the interenet?

You need to call T-Mobile and get a android data plan added to your rate plan for the internet to work. Yesterday T-Mobile started their 3 Tier data plans. 200mb = $9.99/amonth, 2gb = $15.99/amonth, Unlimited = $25.99/amonth.
[Nexus One General] wheelrandolph:
I recently canceled Android Data plan and got Web2Go and it works just the same. You need to change settings under Wireless & networks. There are a couple of threads here on this. Check Q & A for $10 data plan.
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
you need to change your APN, I bet you're still on epc.tmobile right?
[Nexus One General] smachine:
If OP signed up on weekend, then he has unlimited. Anyone who signed up before gets to keep unlimited, while from now on only 2 data plans are available for new customers : 200mb for $10 or unlimited for $30 (Preferred android $20 is just given by retentions if you call and get lucky).

Go to your APN settings and change it from epc to internet2.voicestream.com and for APN type put in default,supl and thats it.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsuujin:
So I was intending on buying the G2 when I came across an announcement for the MyTouch 4g. It's a fairly impressive phone, and in a couple of regards may be better than the G2... but what nags me more than anything is the HTC UI that clobbers Android 2.2's normal UI (which I absolutely love).

The question is (and deciding which phone to buy may hinge here): can I root the phone and destroy their UI in favor of 2.2s superior interface and still maintain the essential apps the phone needs, such as the videochat apps?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonlawrence:
Yes, the phone has been out about a dozen days and we already have full root and you can do anything you want to the sense UI if you don't like it. It has a LOT faster processor (1 ghz snapdragon 2nd gen compared to 800 mhz on the G2) and then you have to content with the G2 flimsy hinges. This is a better phone
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsuujin:
Excellent.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFeens:
and cyanogen mod is on its way we have a stock rom :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moustafaraslan:
Where can I find the stock rom you are talking about?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiian.monzta:
Under android development category. Search for cm 6.1 alpha. Its not an official rom yet but you are able to use it as an everyday rom if you can live without video playback or camera. Reason iz cuz the camera is really buggy and they have yet to find the problem for it. When they find the bug, well have a fixed camera and video playback.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon C:
Coming from the G2, I am much happier with the myTouch 4G. The phone definitely feels like it is more solid in terms of build quality. The camera shutter button feels amazing, whereas the G2's felt cheap. No annoying hinge issues, though, the included Swype keyboard lacks the microphone key (so annoying that they can't just standardize Swype across all phones with the same button layout).

The biggest and most annoying difference (besides the 'Genius Button' that I will speak of later), is that the back door on the myTouch 4G is awfully hard to remove. You will break your fingernail trying to pop it open. On the plus side, the Micro-SD card is totally hot-swappable; assuming you can ever get to it without a pry bar.

Problems that it shares with the G2 (and HTC phones):

Poor speaker quality; the camera's picture / video quality blows hard (doesn't hold a candle to the iPhone / Galaxy S). Though I will say this: pictures with the flash on this phone actually look pretty decent, whereas they looked absolutely abysmal on the G2.

The included solution for video chat is really quite poor. Qik does not work very well, cross-platform. I had a number of issues trying to talk to friends with other devices. Until the Nexus S comes out, video chat will remain a novelty. Once it is integrated into GTalk, it will become more standardized.

I really enjoy the myTouch 4G, but there are issues with MySense that annoy the **** out of me. For example: not being able to customize the launch dock to remove 'MyFaves'. Also, the Dragon Dictation 'Genius Button' is anything but. While the hands-free announcements are cool, everything else about it is wildly inaccurate and irritating. 9 times out of 10, I will command "More Options", and it will try to send a text message to 'Google'. How utterly useless. If the stock HTC Rom allowed you to toggle the Genius button between Dragon Dictation and Stock Google Search, I'd be 100% happy. Alas, one must root to acquire such no-brainer options.

I'm still on the fence, to be honest. I have about a day to decide. The Nexus S is a mighty nice phone, with a similar feel and weight. However, I really enjoy the HTC customizations that were lifted straight out of iOS (copy + paste w/ magnifying glass, alarm / date scroll wheels for the clock and calendar), and I'm looking forward to some official docks.

I came to Android from the iPhone hacking scene. I grew tired of playing cat and mouse (flashing and re-flashing), and hoped that I could just buy a nice Android phone and not have to worry about obtaining root and so forth. For once, I wanted to just 'go legit' and let the good graces of Android carry me up to heaven. Alas, nothing is ever as 'open' or modular as one would hope.

As far as the G2 is concerned: had the hinge not been a floppy POS which will inevitably cause you to drop your device / be the first point of hardware failure, I would've kept that phone. Amazing keyboard and everything on it worked. Otherwise, the myTouch 4G has the edge in construction, but you will have to hack around to get things your way.

Hope that helps you a little bit. :confused:

Can we enable fastboot after the phone is rooted? I know it had to be off during rooting but I haven't seen anything about being able to turn it back on after. The phone does come on really fast with it on and really do miss it..hope it can be turned back on after root
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grankin01:
I don't see why not. All it is is a kind of hibernate state(forgive the windows speek:D).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strapt:
That's what I was thinking but thought there would be something more to it since it had to be off to root it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghorn:
Think it just had to be off for root since the process involved full restarts/shutdowns & with it enabled the phone would've gone into "hibernate" vs full shutdown.

Should be fine to re-enable now that you have perm root.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbo1083:
You didn't have to turn it off if you choose restart. Fastboot was for when you hit power off, it didn't actually power off. Restarting goes through an actual restart. Rooted 3 phones now, 2 of them I left fast boot on.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] triscuit1983:
If he left the splash in there you can try flashing Sprint Lover's ROM. It's in PC36IMG.zip format so it flashes through bootloader and if the original splash is in there, it will flash that too.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] amircesc4:
All,

I try to make it as brief as possible.

this is what i post on the winmo section :

Now:

My battery drained even faster, 15% per hour

my idle process used 100% at all time

i cant "normally" enter bootloader anymore. see above quote.

i cant run Android anymore. i used to run on Android before. i took all action required provided in this forum. but still didnt success.

when running Haret, my screen stuck at green HTC logo and black background. i left it for night long, but still stuck.

i reformat sd card, not quick format, format thru pc and hp, still no luck

what should i do now?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Hope this helped

So let me summerize your probs,

1-Bootloader can't be accessed normally.

2-Android won't boot.

3-Battery Drains alot.

TBH I've never faced such problem, but try to start freshly, from scratch.

1-Run task29 to remove installed ROM.

2-Flash a new ROM, different than the old one.

3- Format Memory card (without putting the back up back)

4-Try to enter bootloader (vol v-^ boot) [Your first & third problem may be solved here,proceed to next step]

5-Put a fresh Android folder, without using the old one and without using a back up .

6- Boot Android

a few questions :

What radio did you have ?

Did you flash recently a stock rom with HSPL on ?

Does this problem happen with a certain Android build or all builds ?

Feedback what happened.

Faris,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] amircesc4:
Thanks, at last!

you are right, thats summarized what are the problems that ive been facing now.

I always ran task29 before any installations of new ROM

I flashed various of official ROMs and cooked ROMs. None of them giving the result that I want. The battery still draining like hell and I cant access bootloader normally. I have to pull out everything for 15mins 1st, put it back, then I can access bootloader by holding up -vol. But still, it wont solve my battery issue.

I formatted my SD thru HP, thru PC (full format, not quick format), nothing happen at all. Still cant load Haret/Android. I left it for night long, stuck at HTC logo with black background.

To Answer your questions

various Radio(s) I've tried; .50,.51 including the newest one.

yes, I flash stock ROM with HSPL on when I encounter this problem

Its happen to all build, Winmo and Android.

phew, I still believe that I've taken necessary steps in order to get back my HD2 to perform at its normal condition.

Thanks, Please advise. :)

Amir
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Maybe your HSPL is defected (Idk how would that happen)

But try to remove it, flash stock ROM 3.14, Don't HSPL, Try to run android, different build.

And never use 51 radio ! .. Always stick to 50 ;) .. also what class your sd-card is ?

Because I've never read about your problem anywhere ..

Faris,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] amircesc4:
ive tried flash various HSPL from 1.42 till 2.08. still have same probs.

and i already tried 3.12 official rom, still batt prob and wont solve bootloader prob.

yeah, im on .50 radio now.

ive 2 SD cards, 8GB each, class 1 and class 2.

thanks.

I got my wife the G2 after I had already purchased the Vibrant for myself. The G2 is a way better phone. While it is true that benchmarks aren't the whole story they are at least a big part of the story. Benchmarks with the G2 are better out of the box. It is just works and works fast. I am about sick and tired flashing various beta themes/roms for the Vibrant just to compensate for a crap file system and a laggy battery sucking phone. Of course I came from the MyTouch which was/is light years behind either phone.

Typical Vibrant user, "ROM x is the best ever all you have to do disable all of your running apps, wipe all of your data including SD cards, and stare at a black screen. The battery life is amazing after that. Yeah I know that I know that my internal SD card is no longer readable but ROM x is sooo fast." Well guess I am one of the those users and I am stuck with it for now. I think the best it ever ran was with the setup in my signature. Still I wish I could talk my wife out the G2 ;).

It blows. Advertised having 512MB ram but your only allocated to like 300 so the phone always slowed down for any little app.

Don't get me wrong, the AMOLED screen is gorgeous (yea its over saturated) but it is also a battery killer form my experience (regardless what others say)

The cheap plastic feel the phone had was horrible, the G2 feels 10x more sturdy and its sexy.
