Hehe I misread this part at first as you saying there are water damage spots on the phone. In your final advertisement you might want to reword that a bit. Maybe say something like, "The test strips that are used to indicate water damage show that there is no water damage."
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Or just don't mention it at all lol. When you're selling a car you don't put "Never been flooded!" in the ad. Just raises suspicion.
[Captivate General] madzozs:
Can't get in there. I'm assuming I need more posts.

I'll keep it in mind, but I'd prefer to sell to a person.

I just put that in case someone was curious as to why I had pictures of white squares.
[Captivate General] rsunny:
Odd, I cant seem too PM you. I would be interested. Let me know
[Captivate General] boborone:
Keep the pics of the litmus strips. I bought five phones off craigslist and ebay. If someone went to trouble to prove to me that there were no problems with the phone, I paid more for those than ones with a few pics and little description.

When selling on the internet, the more pics you have the better. A person buys something in the store after holding it and thoroughly looking into it. Tutu have to recreate that. Be honest and show it all.

From a phone
[Captivate General] madzozs:
Well feel free to pass this on to anyone you know that may be interested. Like I said, I can get more pics if needed. As soon as I have enough posts, I'll put a thread in the marketplace as well.

Case is no longer with the phone. Still not enough posts to get into the marketplace.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envoykrawkwarrior7:
is it possible that because i had a cpu governor set from an older kernal still active, that it could cause big problems for my battery [i had some smartass governors from net 4.2.1 and changed back to 4.1.9, also bfs to cfs] and ive been noticing my battery dying beyond rapidly, from 100 to 40 in just 4 hours with nothing more than a few..hundred.. texts, but usually that only eats up about mabey 20% battery, and the governor was the only thing i could find to possibly cause to problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyloof:
It's possible that an application is keeping your phone on wakelock.

Download system panel and spare parts so you can see which app's and using all the juice up. I highly doubt its an old governor from another kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envoykrawkwarrior7:
probably shoulda mentioned, i checked all that, im not new to my battery dying but its just never been so horrible in my life and that was literally the only thing out of the norm i could find anywhere. could it have been a bad kernal flash? it was probably the first time ive not flashed after a fresh install and mabey something went wrong?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jbcarrera:
what hardware are you on? could be the rom that your running no offense to any of the devs but myns is running on 3.30 and that has had some bad battery effects for people with any phone running 0003 and below unless your your phone came with 3.30
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] envoykrawkwarrior7:
it is 0003 so you think so? i mean i love my rom but if thats whats keeping it down i could always try another i guess or go back to an older version on myns

This is second day on my G2. I have been unpleasant so far about using this as I come from using Nokia n900, iphone..

ever since using stock rom outta the box, the internet seems to be very sluggish.

Fast forward, I am now using Virtuous Desire HD rom, and the internet performance is very slow again.

Is this a problem with g2 radio band or something missing here?

Thanks

download speedtest app and/or go to speedtest.net and give some more concrete numbers, also where are you and what kind of signal do you have, are you in HSPA+ area?
[G2 and Desire Z General] corrado85:
I am in a major metropolitan area inside HSPA+ footprint. (5bars and 3G logo)

haha going to speedtest.net, the site loads except for the main part of the page, the flash api and therefore I am unable to conduct the test. Maybe that will help you analyze how slow it's going.

Those are the correct settings... its sounds like your area has serious congestion issues. Can you put your sim in another tmobile 3g phone to confirm its the network and not your hardware?

[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Oh course it is but this guy is having major issues with hardware or congestion. with a normal situation... like most others... the G2 blazes. but this guy has a issue needing resolving so no silly comments please!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
the slowest speed i have gotten was .15 - .25 mbps down 1.5 megs up there was a lot of congestion at my job at the time. avg i get is 3.45 mbps and peak was 5.5 mbps. I would definately call tmo for the issue
[G2 and Desire Z General] cparekh:
This is not at all what should be happening. I have sometimes gotten very slow speeds like 0.2 Mb/s down, but a quick reboot has solved the issue. Try the suggestion of putting the SIM in another phone or duplicate this in the store. Might be the phone, because if it were the network, many, many people would have complained.
[G2 and Desire Z General] autoexec.bat:
My G2 is the same way. I am in Arlington/Alexandria, VA which is supposed to have HSPA+. Even when my device status says "HSDPA" I am usually only getting about 500kbps down. The funny thing is I still often get 1mbps up!

Right now here is what my "4G Speeds" are getting me:

Ping: 151ms

Down: 127kbps

Up: 330 kbps

Signal Strength: -85dBm

Network Type: HSDPA

I am running the updated stock 2.2 from TMO. I have gotten downlink speeds faster than 1mbps only a handful of times since I bought the phone in early October. What gives?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sephron:
I just recently purchased my G2 a few days ago and it has speed issues as well. I live in Las Vegas which is supposed to have HSPA+ coverage, but my phone has been stuck on Edge since my purchase. My speeds have been horrible and TMo has no idea why.

Right now these are my speeds

Ping: 379 (Los Angeles,CA was the closest being only 75mi away)

Down: 35 kbps

Up: 26 kbps

Network type as of since I purchased the phone: EDGE (Been all around the city with same results)

Heading to the TMo store later tonight will update if it duplicates or not.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
HSDPA != HSPA+

HSDPA = 3G

Try checking then unchecking the "Use only 2G networks" under Settings>Wireless & Network settings>Mobile networks.
[G2 and Desire Z General] thenotoriouspie:
This made me laugh so hard
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sephron:
Thanks for the reply. That was one of the first things I have tried, but alas I am still stuck on Edge everywhere. Maybe I have a bunk phone or something is wrong with my account. I have actually been receiving a text consistently since 4am this morning. It's from 10076200000 the only thing it says is <sisa:39972758:1:1:199:14095402>10hbrZBycJABgDIpGQ1XGw. It may be an error code of some sort from the network. I could be wrong, but from what I have been reading TMo sends out a similar error code (From 10476000000) for an error in their email systems.

I am heading over to TMo in about an hour. We will see if they have any insight as to what is going on. I will post back the results of the visit if it will benefit this topic.

wuz up Trini? how da hell u gettin 5 down, the most I get is 2 down, i'm in ft laud, im getting like 3g speeds typically
[G2 and Desire Z General] autoexec.bat:
Yes, I am aware that HSDPA is not the same as HSPA+, however the Signal Type screen does not appear to distinguish between "HSDPA" and "HSPA+". Case in point, later that same day I tested my connection at Reagan National Airport only .5 miles from where I tested earlier in the day and here were my results:

Downlink speed: 5393 kbps

Uplink speed: 1282 kbps

Ping: 102 ms

Signal Type: HSDPA

I assume that at those speeds I was definitely pulling from an HSPA+ capable tower, but the signal type still reads HSDPA. So what gives?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sleef:
Just read the thread and I'm sorry if I missed it if someone wrote this but could it be that your data plan hasn't changed from your previous phone?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j41:
Well First off I gotta say some of the things here are pretty damn super.

But the thing I find is most of these roms take up too much battery all too quickly, even when i barely use my phone.

So which rom should i try and stick in order to maximise my battery life?

Quick response would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louis0815:
Well, the question is what you really want to have in your ROM and what is obsolete for you. Eye-candy needs power....

Switch of all automatic Facebook, email, weather, stock, twitter etc. updates, switch off 3G, dim the light and use wifi only when necessary - this will increase your battery life significantly.

And you might try the link in my signature as well.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymailx:
I'm not an expert but according to my experience for cooked ROMs,

- Xara & Vision and (this ROM is similar to Jeperlea's) is very good bettery drainage but the HTC Calculator annoy me very much. Anyway, -Jeperlea has been back to continue his ROM, but I really feel boring of his ROM's inconsistence

- Russell Eclair's, his ROM is also very impressive for me, unfortunately his Final ROM has some trouble in the first usage. Over all, like it.

- SGXU XPERIA UNOFF, like this ROM too, unfortunately some program isn't working properly.

- 826X-peria, some version is great in battery drainage and performance but some isn't. This ROM is also stopped due to stolen willyung's gadget.

The worst; Energy ROM, I dunno know why people flash this **** to their phone because it's the worst ROM I've ever used. Good interface (Kinda boring), but really poor performance, u can't use this for daily used.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] louis0815:
Sorry to the OP for slightly drifting off topic.

Well, maybe because not everybody acts according to your standards.

I won't go through all the "fantastic" ROMs you listed above just to verify whether Energy ROMs are that bad or not. It's just strange that you kind of recommend ROMs which obviously have problems running at all and contain annoying software.

><(((º>

I am happy with Energy, it is way more performant than others I tried before - and it just works out of the box.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Gunlance:
I'm new to android and trying to figure out how to get this kernal installed. I tried it with CM and it worked beautifully. I switched back to the stock rom and every single time I try to install this kernal I get a boot loop. Does this work with the stock Rom? I have flashed through recovery and rom manager. I've cleared caches(all of them) and even tried a phone wipe.

My question is...should this work with the stock rom?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pershoot:
It should, yea. Fastboot flash the zimage and push the wifi module.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nitemare3219:
Yes, try this:

Put the zImage from the .zip into your ADB working directory (mine is C:\Users\myusername, but it also may be the folder where adb.exe is located

Open ADB and boot your phone into fastboot: adb reboot bootloader (or touchpad + power)

In ADB, type: fastboot flash zimage zImage

At this point you might also have to push bcm4329.ko to fix the WiFi if it doesn't work. You can use ADB to do this as well, but it didn't work for me so I used terminal on the phone. A reboot may be required afterwards. If you use these commands for terminal, make sure you have bcm4329.ko copied to your /sdcard/ either by pushing it with ADB or just by copying it over with your computer. This is what you type in terminal when bcm4329.ko is on your sdcard directory:

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

cp /sdcard/bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

Other than that you should be good to go.

I was starting to think battery life would be the downfall in choosing this device, but then I stumbled upon this kernel. Absolutely loving it except for one issue.

I'm using a HTC DZ with sense. After flashing the kernel, I can't connect to any BT devices. Sometimes they will show up during a device search and eventually sync, but following that they constantly are disconnecting and sometimes stating that they are connected when in fact they are not. Anyone have any solutions for this? I have tried wiping data, still same issue.

What rom are you using? it seems that CM roms wont overclock very high without freezing. on rooted stock ota deodexed rom (fastludeh22's rom), I can overclock at 1.7 with no freezes. thats with the 1.8 kernel of course. this one is nice too and saves battery. but it does seem that the rom you use makes a huge difference in overclocking.

I did a clean install of RC3, tested out gps worked. Installed Pershoot kernel and now it seems gps is broken. Can anyone confirm this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amack10:
No that's completley wrong cm can clock as high as ne one on rc 1 I used the 1.8 kernel. Its that the kernel requires special caches and stuff to be compatable with cm. And since the kernel that clocks ur phone higher than 1.5g doesn't have those caches and what not it won't work. As for people not being able to clock past 1.4 remember everyones phone is different. Some can some can't. If u can only clock to 1.4 there's aboslutly no reson to be complaonning ur phone can only go 600 mhz past stock. Most phones are lucky to get 200 mhz more out of their cpu

Edit. U can even download cm's kernel source and enable "jesus mode" and recompile. that allows u to clock to 1.9
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Kind of contradicting yourself... its totally cm that is doing it. Sure all phones are different. One example is the MTS. I couldn't overclock past 806 with stability while others were getting past 900. But were aren't talking about just a few MHz here... some folks like yourself are freezing up past 1500 while others are pushing 1900. That's almost half a GHz and they all seem to be using CM... this is just a theory and nothing is been proven but... just from what it seems, CM is the cause whether its the kernel it uses or whatever. Try flashing a stock OTA rooted rom and see what you can get. It would be nice to figure out what's going on and get some facts here. In theory... you should be able to get to around 1600-1700 with stability. The differences can't be that substancial in which some G2s overclock at almost half a GHz faster. that just doesnt seem right to me... maybe since we are overclocking with processors that exceed 1GHz now, having a 400 MHz difference isnt that big of a deal anymore. It just seems like a larger number than actually is. I'm still remembering the days of the 200 MHz OMAP850, lol!
