So my friend has this issue with his Eee 1005HA Netbook, and it's bothering him.

When he minimizes a program, such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Powerpoint, and Word, the program "minimize animation" stutters and we could see the program "disappearing" from the top to bottom. Following that, the Desktop Icons appear to be permanently highlighted.

If anyone knows of a fix without having to reload the whole OS, we'd appreciate it.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
http://goo.gl/8ywff

lol :p

Had this on my PC when I put XP on it, I'm sure there is a setting to turn of animations in control panel though :D
[Off-topic] sumflipnol:
lol:D

The weird thing is switching between windows and launching programs is smooth. It's just minimizing that has the stuttering, and it's weird that the Desktop icons are highlighted.

He's using Ubuntu atm, but he'd rather use XP.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Is it laggy when scrolling? just trying to work out wether its what I had ;)
[Off-topic] sumflipnol:
Nope. Everything is smooth with the exception of the minimize animation, which causes the highlighting of the Desktop icons.

It's a small problem, but it does get irritating when he minimizes windows.

He now says the netbook has gotten really slow. He said the registry editor used to launch in seconds, but it now took 8 minutes to launch.:eek: A soft-reset didn't do much.
[Off-topic] MacaronyMax:
Hm.. Not what I had then.. If it's slow maybe he has caught some sort of Virus:confused: , I recomend reinstalling the OS, although I know he doesnt want to :)
[Off-topic] raving_nanza:
...

no its slow because the hard drive is probably full..

causing it to lag out..

the icon problem is:

right click the desktop/properties/appearance/advanced

or i suppose if you change the theme that should bring it back to normal..
[Off-topic] sumflipnol:
He has anti-virus software installed, so I doubt it's a virus. He probably will reinstall the OS because this thing's driving him crazy!:p

Hard drive, when I personally checked it was about two-thirds filled -- that's more available space than on my Toshiba laptop, and my laptop's still normal.;)

We'll see about the icon problem. Like I said, the icons only become permanently highlighted once he minimizes a program; they're normal after a boot.
[Off-topic] raving_nanza:
...

i suggest not to put anything on your hard drive..

there is only a small hard drive in a netbook..

i also suggest you invest into an external hard drive and install everything to it.. eg.. external hd/programs folder/all programs here..

try and keep your C: drive as clean as possable..

just thinking but it might be worth tweaking the page pool of windows on your netbook.. it might make your netbook a lot faster than what it is...

maybe try reinstalling the display drivers. or he has too many programs running and not enough memory.

i don't know why he is still using xp. ive been using 7 since jan 2009.

im still using windows xp..

when i get depressed with it i just re-install it and start again..

im gona hate the day i have to install windows 7, and that will be the day that they stop making games for xp (which will probably be coming sooner than we think)

anyway, thats why i use it, its the most reliable..

and it dont rape my ram like what vista and 7 will do ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] silvacrest:
basically every time i try to boot into the bootloader i am presented with a blank screen for about a minute then it reboots back into the OS

i tried letting RSD lite boot into the OS like i have done before but i just get a error :(

i have the exact same problem... please help!!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] a_username:
I don't have a milestone, but I presume the lumping w/ droid 1 is due to similarity

If you've got the "terminal emulator", you may try to do install the bootloader manually using "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-0.99.3b.img"

You can find "flash_image" & lots of recoveries over here (thanks, ted!):

http colon slash slash ted dot servepics dot com slash nap slash droid

[sorry for the 'literals' -- board doesn't want me to post urls until I hit 8 posts in count]

Also, check to see if you'e got a file /etc/install-recovery.sh

IF that file does exist, make it do nothing or even not exist at all -- it reflashes the "stock" recovery, upon reboot. That was very, very annoying; Rom Manager should warn you about the existence of this file in your filesystem.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
ROM Manager does not work on the Milestone, and I have never heard of a recovery_image file for the Milestone. It sounds like something Droid-specific. You have a Droid I presume?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] a_username:
yes, I do have a droid 1.

Hmmm, why'd they "lump us together" on this board - if we're so different?

When you say "rom manager" 'never worked' - what do you mean?

I prefer using flash_image via command-line - tells you when crud isn't working - but I'm a dinosaur unix geek. It was strange - took many attempts before the recovery flash_image succeeded.

I presume you have "root" - else you'd not be able to run "rom manager" at alll.

Check & see if there is a file "install-recovery.sh" is in your /etc directory - I dunno where I got this file, OTA or where -- it erased my bootloader/"recovery" on at startup after a second reboot.

There's got to be a reason they have droid 1 & milestone together - I could find this out - but eh, ask you anyways, increase my post count if nothing else: what processor does the milestone use? What kernel versions does it use?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Hardware-wise, Milestone and Droid are almost EXACTLY the same. That's why we are paired together. We have separate forums for development, but the General is for both phones.

It's what lies underneath the hardware that makes us so different. Your bootloader is unlocked, whereas ours on the Milestone is not. That allows you to flash custom kernels and modify the bootloader. Milestone users cannot. So we have to bypass that by hacking our stock Motorola recovery using a special sbf and then using a modded version of recovery called OpenRecovery.

I'm pretty sure the install-recovery.sh file that you have (we don't have it on MS), is because of an OTA update. There is a script I think that enables you to remove that script, as it checks for the version of the bootloader and might remove root, etc.

We cannot use ROM Manager or ClockworkMod, as they require an open bootloader. Many, many people have come into the forums and asked why their MS is bricked or bootlooping because ROM Manager isn't working for them. In that case, we need to reflash the 2.2.1 SBF, then flash the Vulnerable Recovery SBF and start over from scratch; A sort of "soft-brick".
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] a_username:
Thanks for clarifying!

That SBF is flash-data for use w/ RSD-lite? I think I've had to use that to unbrick my droid, long in the past.

Is the bootloader the only difference? That is, after SBF flash, etc., milestone can run the same kernel as droid 1?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Unfortunately, no. Flashing new kernels requires an unlocked bootloader, so we are stuck with the stock, Motorola-signed kernels.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernadou:
Before learning the basics about rooting and flashing ROMs (I still consider myself a noob though) I was using EasyTether for my laptop data connection and it was working great.

Recently I rooted so I could use WiFi Tether which seemed to work well for about a week. For no apparent reason I've begun having issues.

My brief history, in order, includes:

OTA 2.1

rootme.zip (problems began shortly hereafter)

FlashBack21_v1.zip

Tenzo-Official2.1-cache.zip

kaosfroyo-v38.zip (this rocks but...)

So, the problem is that after a few minutes (and I mean maybe 1-2) of using tethered data from my phone (in all ROMs listed after root) said data stops. Disconnecting/reconnecting has no effect. The only resolution is to restart phone and reconnect. Works for a few brief moments then stops. This behavior was consistent with USB Tether, Wifi Tether and Easy Tether.

When observing this behavior on my laptop and then browsing back on my phone there also seems to be no data connection. All is well when I restart the phone. So long as I don't tether my phone browses normally.

So, what should my next steps be here? How do I troubleshoot? Is it possible that Verizon can detect that I'm tethered and is shutting down my data?

Thanks

Bernie
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
They may have detected it. Wait for the bill. :P
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaceMN:
This crap has been happening off and on for me since I began tethering with my rooted Eris last May. Just in the past month, though, the symptoms seem to have become more frequent. Occasionally I'll have an uninterrupted session...but typically I'm frequently running to my phone, putting it in airplane mode momentarily, restarting tether, etc.

I've tried switching to hybrid PRLs, changing radios, updating towers, reactivating my phone, multiple ROMS...still pretty crappy. Also, in the past I noticed Windows 7 seemed to lock up tethering more frequently than XP...however, that has since become less true. My next step was to update my Windows 7 Wifi driver...did that this morning and have been going strong for 40 minute or so. I'm guessing it's just luck at this point.

BTW...Don't worry too much about your bill...I've seen no tethering charges and have been doing this for 6 months.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernadou:
So, I flashed back to an un-rooted stock ROM and installed EasyTether again and have tested a few times now using only USB tethering. No dice. Symtoms are the same. It works for a while then just stops. Won't work again until I restart phone.

When I disconnect the phone from the Laptop, the phone's browser doesn't appear to be getting data either. All pages/bookmarks just hang with the progress bar maybe at 20%.

So, I suspect this is either the network is picking up that I'm tethering somehow, or, the phone is jacked. The bummer is that I can only replicate this when tethering.

Someone suggested that tethering may be against the Verizon terms of service. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,

Bernie
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Tethering is against the TOS sure. I don't know man.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
+1 - I hate to say this and it's a cliche, but I'm glad it's not just me. Most of the time I have uninterrupted tethering for just browsing, but when I start downloading that's when it becomes more susceptible to the 3G going in and out.

I usually do an APN delete and restore but I still find that a reboot is necessary most of the time.

Sometimes I do have uninterrupted downloads but other times it gets interrupted all the time.

I am using Wifi tethering, too. I used to use USB tethering, but even though both get interrupted, Wifi tethering seems to work better. It's faster to connect.

Hi,

I'm using the bionix final R1 rom and I noticed that I don't have the latest market on it. I currently have version 1714 and the market updater is version 1000. I know that the latest version should be 200x. I've tried look it up but i couldn't find a working solution.

I've also tried what the market help suggested which was launch the market hit home wait 10 min launch the market again, but no luck.

What version of the market you currently have installed?

Any ideas what can fix it?

Thanks

I have the android 2.2 market, it has some little things that make the experience more convenient like automatic updating of apps, and one button you can hit to update all your available updates if you choose not to use the automatic update feature.

My recommendation: Flash a 2.2 ROM and upgrade more than just the market. If you're on bionix non-fusion, you're missing out on a lot of progress made since then. I recommend Axura, I've flashed the last couple versions without trouble and everytime it's worked beautifully for me, with no tricks or headaches. Check it out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] celltestr:
I'm really happy with the Bionix Final R1 and the Core 2 kernel. My phone is really snappy and the battery life is really good! I don't have any complains actually. Everything just works. I thought the the only difference between the bionix final to the fusion is the touchwiz. What other features\ improvements are there?

By the way my quadrant score is 2800+

Do you know if I can just take the Vending.apk from any 2.2 rom and push it to mine?

I've heard that data speeds vary wildly across carriers on our small island. I was with O2 last year and speeds were shockingly slow. I'm on T-Mobile now and everything is very fast, but I'm considering joining Vodafone instead as I like one of their exclusive phones.

Vodafone only gives me 500MB. T-Mobile gives me 3GB. Will 500MB be enough? I never really used my data allowance on O2 because it was so slow.

[Epic 4G General] stepchap:
Yeah baked snack is by far the best. I get 16hrs before 15% and I use my phone quite a bit
[Epic 4G General] thsisinsanity:
BS 1.6 with baby step kernel, 16+ hours battery life. By far the fastest and best rom out i think
[Epic 4G General] rjpaez:
Agreed. Running BS 1.6 w/ ultimate kernel, 18+ hours before it dies. 5-7% drain over night. Battery drains pretty quickly until it hits the 50s / 40s and starts to drain a lot slower from there (can js be my batt / % mod). Takes even longer to drain once it hits the teens. I keep my phone unplugged mostly to test battery (ordered 2 spares + ext. charger for about 10 bucks too).

In any case, I don't bother OC'ing w/ this rom. This rom / kernel is just so responsive. I was running Syndicate @ 1.6 and this rom / kernel set up honestly feels just as "snappy" if not more so (weird but true... I kept going back and fourth between the 2). You deff won't get the best bechmark scores, but the battery life more than makes up for the #'s (+ you can't tell the diff in real world usage... my phone is js fast).

Mods:

- stock battery w/ % mod (i feel it's a lot cleaner looking than the circle mod)

- flashed the stock icons from syndicate (again, cleaner than the evo wanna b icons from BS)

- pulled all notification / ringtones from syndicate (they did it right w/ all the extras)

Battery smart setup:

- No widgets what so ever (except Advanced task killer icon)

- No apps / services that constantly ping the cloud for refreshes (FB syncs once a day)

- No weather apps running in the background (I'll check the weather when I need to)

- Manually run "Lookout" ever so often, never let it run in the BG

- Black background (Colors app) / main "Home screen" is completely empty all apps are found on my other HS :)

- Always keep GPS / Wifi off unless I'm actually using either.

- Keep "JuiceDefender" on overnight, off throughout the day

- Advanced task killer is set to kill every 4 hours

- Use memory booster to kill a ton of apps after a reboot / system (app) to do the same (white listed any apps I need).

- Trickle charge (unplug for replug once you hit 100% until u hit 100% again... do that a couple times for max charge)

- Don't constantly drain your batt unless you're testing, keep it plugged in anytime available :)

Normal usage:

- Streaming music from Grooveshark (caches playlist / songs to SD to help w/ battery).

- Moderate FB, gmail usage + having the Good email client always running in the bg (for work).

- Light browsing on the internets (mostly testing if anything, I'm a web designer / dev).

- Always peak at the XDA forums (XDA app) to see if anything exciting is going on.

- Check out engadget (app) through out the day.

- Launcher Pro.

Hi, my friends, I'd want to buy a Desire Z on Ebay as there have no reseller selling it in Melbourne.

But some of them are marked as T-mobile G2 and some of them are HTC Desire Z.

Is there any special differences between them?

Because they look the same, their config are same.

But T-mobile got a cheaper price on Ebay.

And even here, in XDA forum, G2 ad DZ have different pages for them.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] SmoothGuy2000:
Okay first of I am a noob, I know I am, but i'm just experimenting with different things atm.. If you don't want to read my story you can skip to the bold text :)

Basic I had Froyo JPO.

Rooted it using z4root (Didn't know any other method)

Then applied OCLF Lag fix from the market.

Then I fancied putting the Doc Froyo custom rom on my phone :D

So I removed the Lag fix,

Backed up using Rom Manager,

Installed CT-Root thingy-majig to bring my Recover from 3e back down to 2e so I can run unsigned update.zip's.

I also installed clockworkmod recovery.

But something wen't work with the flash, (Probably when I modified the framework-res.apk for a custom notification bar) the phone freezes in black screen after I turn it on and it passes the boot animation of the 'Galaxy S i9000'.

I can still boot in recovery though.

So I need to put a update.zip from my computer on to my memory stick but when ever I use the option 'Mount USB storage' from the recovery menu, nothing happens. Only options are 'unmount' or 'go back'. /mnt/sdcard is set to 'mount' but my PC doesn't recognise anything?

Do I need special drivers or something? (Bearing in mind I've used Odrin * Kies before fine)

How do I get the Mass Storage to work?

Thanks guys.

Ignore my stupidity. A factory restore sorted it out straight away.
