hi all

i have hTC HD Mini with ROM version 1.07.707.1. my phone is bought from italy however i myself am living in UAE and know only english language. Currently all menus in my mobile are in english only.

i found a ROM version updation in HTC italy website which is 1.36.408.1, however when i downloaded the version and tried to update my mobile, i found out that all installation instructions were in italian language so i didnt updated ROM version thinking that doing that may change the OS language of my mobile set? Can anyone suggest should i update my ROM version, if yes how do i do it without changing my mobile current language ENGLISH??

This sounds interesting, is there any one has done one Bird Identification App for Android that has images of birds, audio of bird calls, searchable database and ability to "tag" birds that I've spotted.
[Android Apps and Games] barbo:
eBird Pro for Android

eBird Pro (found in the Android Market) works very well on the Nook Color.

It is like a "super dooper" fireld guide. It has artwork, photos, maps, description of plumage, notes on behavior, glossary, and a searching feature. It is quite well done. Today it was only $9.99 which I think is a great price for such a complete app.

Beware: it will take up 400mb (on SD card) to download all the info. You can also use it without downloading everything but then you must be on wifi so it can pull down whatever it needs as you ask for it. The total download took over an hour but I feel it is well worth it.

All you bird watchers out there: enjoy!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberenz:
Clear appears to have turned on their 4G system in South Florida yesterday and I can see that they have from viewing their "solid" coverage on their CLEAR app available from the android market.

My question is.... are you guys down here in the South Florida area getting 4G on your Evo's?

If Clear is switched on, shouldn't the Sprint 4G be turned on too? I ask because I get no 4G on my phone anywhere on the east side of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach for that matter. I'm afraid my phone's 4G radio is dead...maybe from the dreaded missing RSA certs after rooting. Please let me know what you guys are experiencing down here with 4G since CLEAR switched the system on yesterday so I can make a determination if my phone is dead and have to go stand in line at Sprint tomorrow.

Thanks all!

Does anyone have an eclair system version of the newest ADWLauncher(1.3.3)? It seems Anderweb is not posting system versions on his site anymore.

Thanks!!
[Android Apps and Games] double_ofour:
what do you mean by system version?.. a pre installed ADWLauncher once you flashed a ROM?..

if i understand you correctly, maybe putting ADWLauncher.apk to /system/ dir then flash..
[Android Apps and Games] yobazpagan:
there are 2 versions of ADWLauncher a system and a standalone version.

when the system version is installed you can see the settings menu of the ADWLauncher in the system settings pages. while the standalone version is installed you can access the settings with menu button only.

(if there are any differences i am not aware of them.)
[Android Apps and Games] double_ofour:
I see, in our latest cyanogen mod nightly build the updated ADWLauncher 1.3.3 is a system version.. will it simply just ripping it?
[Android Apps and Games] jdh2001:
I am running CM 5.0.8, thats why I need an eclair system version. the version that is on the market is the standalone version, and wont work. the one that is in the latest nightly is for froyo and wont work.

1.3.3 for Eclair

Ditto!! Many of us are still running CM 5.0.8 Eclair, but no one is posting the apk.

Please, anybody!!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoeVibrant:
Hello All,

My Market App is not downloading all the free apps (like facebook, espn, etc) on my Samsung Vibrant phone using my home WiFi connection. I go into the market app, use the search to find the app, click and scroll down to the app where it stays install. when i click install it says "starting download" and thats it.

I can browse the web, check my gmail and use pre-existing apps from my Vibrant using my home WiFi, however downloading new apps through Market app is still a problem.

I have read some forums and did Force Stop on Market Apps and Download Manager, and that did not resolve the issue; also tried rebooting. Also it downloaded some apps using another WiFi connection. I don't think its my WiFi at home, because my Laptop, iphone and iTouch all work fine in my home WiFi connection.

How can I download apps using WiFi connection at home? Is there another way to download apps, such as connecting the phone's USB cord to my Windows Desktop PC and downloading apps into the computer. Please help me out, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Moe

OK so I just updated to the new cm release canadate and I love it!

Only problem is that when you delete things from the home screens you now bring it to the top of the screen instead of the bottom to delete it. Well I was re-doing my home screen and accidentally dropped my messaging app in the place were the adw launcher should go (dock at bottom of screen). So now I can't get into my apparently drawer :(

How do I put adw back onto my dock?

Also is there a way to lock them in place?

Thanks in advance

[Vibrant General] larryvand:
...and I can say with 100% certainty that the GpsRestoreSamsung app DOES make a difference with JI6, as I've had JI6 and was locking just fine outside but I would never lock inside the house. And now after running the GpsRestoreSamsung app I can lock both inside and outside almost instantaneously.
[Vibrant General] ZX3ZX4:
larryvand- Are you running rooted or stock?
[Vibrant General] darkside79:
No difference. Epic Fail!
[Vibrant General] larryvand:
I'm running stock JI6 that is rooted with Rom manager. There is no question anymore that the GPSRestoreSamsung app is making a huge difference on GPS performance. I now I'm getting maximum number of satellites and locks both inside and outside, and accuracy in the 15feet range. And the lock happens almost instantaneously. It is very clear that the GPSRestore app is doing something that is benefiting the Vibrant's GPS big time. And that is well and beyond what the stock JI6 improvements already did with the GPS.
[Vibrant General] blushrts:
Are you navigating with it? Mine locked outside too, but at some point while driving, would become confused and jump over a few streets. Also kept moving while stopped at stoplights. Would have to shut down Google maps and restart. The kids did like it when the phone would tell you to turn every two seconds. Download gps test and look at the compass, mine would move all over the place. Sometimes would flip 180 and then back.
[Vibrant General] larryvand:
Downloaded GPS test and compass and both were rock solid (just a very slight few pixels movement back and forth). Stayed in the same place for about 5min and no change on the compass. I then moved around and the compass would just correctly every time. So far so good. I plan on using it tomorrow on a trip that I'm going.
[Vibrant General] jamesyl:

[Vibrant General] samnada:
Just tried GPS Restore. Please correct me if I'm mistaken but I thought "Hotstart" was the default setting in LBSTest. I've been leaving mine set to "Coldstart" because it seems to give me a faster lock. After running GPS Restore it's still set to Coldstart (all other settings default). Not complaining really, since my locks are still within seconds, but just noting it doesn't look like the app restores all the default settings. So far at least the app doesn't seem to have broken anything, which is always nice.

I'm on pure stock JI6, only non-default setting is as noted above re: Coldstart, and I always turn off wifi when testing GPS. I virtually always get an initial lock in less than 30 seconds. My accuracy after a few minutes settles to 10m or less. My GPS Tracks are acceptably close to my actual path, not exact, but definitely not wildly jumping around.

I think some people do have HW issues, perhaps a bad antenna connection, but the stock JI6 is working well on my phone.

Okay I flashed Blackhole and worked fine then I went to clean and now I'm still on Blackhole with FCs all over the place. I'm new to the Facsinate.

Try wiping data in recovery. That should get rid of the fc's.

[Fascinate General] ktez:
Hope that will work - usually its not good to flash a ROM over another one without wiping data and cache first. That could be why you're having issues. Odin should do the trick though to get you back to stock.
[Fascinate General] cstrife999:
Okay back to stock but still getting FCs like crazy. Now I'm gonna whipe again and see.

[Fascinate General] Redwing:
You must uninstall Voodoo before you flash anything new or create a backup. Go to the development section to the "how to remove voodoo" sticky, Download the uninstaller and follow directions.
[Fascinate General] cstrife999:
Yea where would I drop that on my SD card? Just in the root? I have it there now I can't do much with it. I only have the normal recovery not clockwork I can't get into clockwork.

----------------------------------------------------------------

What overclocking set up are your using ??

What Quadrant benchmarks are you getting ??

Which ones have you tested and what's your oppinion ??

What 'bout battery life ??

----------------------------------------------------------------

My experience:

1.- Stock experience.

I've been comparing the DZ to an X10 (1GHz SoC), performing the same tasks simultaneously on both. Without any overclocking, the Desire Z really blows the antenna off the X10.

IMHO HTC did a great job with the DZ and Sense here, this phone was already smooth as butter beforehand. I love scrolling with the "Asteroid belt" live wallpaper, full web browsing, viewing pics... everything is slick.

My batt life was pretty decent but not overstanding (it barely makes it to the end of the day, but I am aware I really sqweeze it, heavy user am I :D).

2.- After Overclocking.

I've got some days with the godspeed overclocked (stock) kernel @ 1.42 GHz, no particular SetCPU profile set, just flashed and went staright to my standard everyday use:

- Battery life barely affected, I'd say unnoticeable unless I start to play games :rolleyes:.

- Heavy tasks do run better @ 1.42 GHz, I can notice the improvement from loading angry birds to viewing powerpoints to web browsing, but I really don't notice any difference when using small "normal" apps.

- Quadrant score: 2471 @ 1.42 GHz :eek: (range fluctuates from 2100 to 2500)

Can somebody recommend me a good Doom/Quake like game ??
[G2 and Desire Z General] ayewhy:
I tested overclock temporarily to about 1.3Ghz via the old temp root method (before we got the full root) and in all honesty I feel the stock default speed is very fast as it is. Until I actually come across a laggy situation (a high end game or something) then I am not really going to both with overclocking.

But would love to do it using a method not requiring flashing - something just done under root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Stock Experience

This is my third htc android phone after having a hero, desire and now the z. Nothing about battery life on the z was going to surprise me after owning the desire. Stock battery life on the desire was shocking! underclocking saved it completely. Now although the Z is better its not much.

Battery life on stock you would be lucky to last a day, even without much use.

Custom Experience

Now to get the best out of all my android phones battery life I do 2 things. Underclock for screen off as low as your phone will allow (and powersave governor), on the desire and the z I could go as low as any kernel would allow us too, my hero was not so good and didn't like the low speeds

Overclock when in use (I got to 1.4ghz and get a nice experience), with a good governor, ideally the new "smartass" governor, but interactive or ondemand will be fine.

I now get about 48 hours from it, with a descent amount of use. Which is great for me, I charge it every night anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:

Stock Experience

Day two after getting my DZ I installed Quadrant Standard and performed a benchmark. The best I got was 1588, and that was completely stock with a few apps installed. The more I seemed to install on it the "worse" the numbers seemed to get..although my lowest score was only around the 1400 mark.

As far as battery went I was lucky to get 8 hours out of the phone (although I was obviously tweaking and playing with it alot). I followed a few of the battery saving tips here http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/05/20-tips-to-improve-htc-evo-4g-battery-life.html and it seemed to improve it so I could at least get 10-12 hours from it.

Overclocking

Since going to the 1.4Ghz overclock kernal this morning, the highest Quadrant score i've seen is high 1800's. Not a huge jump imo over the initial stock clock i was running..but I can definately tell the phone is running faster now.

Battery has yet to be determined as I just installed setCPU last night and havent' fully had a chance to gauge whether it's impacting battery yet or not.

EDIT: After flashing 1.4 on my phone in the morning..by the afternoon I was getting some funky things happening with the phone (weird sound quality during calls, getting stuck on reboot screen) so I uninstalled and flashed the 1.2 on to try it out. After rebooting I did a Quadrant test, but this time I put SetCPU from On-demand to Performance..and my Quadrant score broke 2k. So now i'm curious as to what I would get with the 1.4 kernal running Performance mode..but i'm leery about the way my phone was acting while using it..
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Been trying to flash 1.4 but my phone freezes at boot and does not happen anything, however with 1.2 ghz I get a quadrant of 1900 - 2000.

Any ideas what I can do so my phone can flash the 1.4 ghz kernel? Or simply my phone can handle it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
a) try the new s-off method (uber root with scotty2's gfree)

b) download the 1.4Hz update again, and check the MD5 checksum
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
MD5 checksum are correct, I used your method for "dummies" and was able to flash the 1.2 ghz, why should not I be able to flash the 1.4?

Why trying a) will help me?

Thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
just for testing purposes...

it is a full mystery to me, why you can flash the other two and not this one :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
I did now the uberrot method and tried to flash your 1.4 ghz and no succes it gets stuck in the htc quietly brilliant splash :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
You're just putting on a new kernel, right ? What ROM version do you have ? I wonder if there's an incompatibility.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tbalden:
1.4ghz setcpu with the vision_oc.ko module load after every boot, oldest method found on this forum, stock rom, quadrant around 2200.

[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
Yes what I am doing is download the zip enter into recovery mode and flash zip from sd card. No wipe since I am on stock Rom rooted and s-OFF. I can flash the 1.2 but not the 1.4
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
I don't use that method. There's an easier way without rebooting to bootloader:

Open the ROM Manager app

Tap "Install ROM from SD card"

then, scroll to choose the OC Kernel Update

ROM manager will do the rest.

Try this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] buzmay:
This was the first method I tried following your guide but not even like this. I wonder if it is the phone that cannot simply take the overclock isn't it a way of getting a kernel with standard 800 able to overclock to 1.4???
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
you are not alone, another user has reported problems not being able to flash the 1.4GHz update, but the other ones flash OK :confused: this is curious

please follow the thread @ android dev

I have a Desire Z with the 1.8GHz kernel and CyanogenMod 6.1 CR1.

I got a Quadrant score of about 2842 with no other apps running afterboot.

I upgraded from a HTC Magic and I had a X10 Mini in between (dont ask)

I missed the keyboard and this was cheaper then a desire HD with the same screen res (I know the physical size is smaller)

With the kernel hack and cyanogen im getting about 36hours of battery life but I am a relatively light user and generally keep my phone on charge at night/in the office

Im tempted to try the 1.9GHz hack but I want to make sure the 1.8 is stable for a week or so first. However the bottle neck is now more around memory/2d graphics so increasing the speed wont add much

This question might be stupid. Anyway, Doesn't overclocking harm the processor?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nighte:
1.4GHz

Not sure how the battery life is, it was dying before I could get home during the first week I got it (probably cause I was constantly tweaking it), but hopefully now that I'm using it more like I usually do, it will last me at least 24hours.

I have it running at 1.4GHz when the screen is on and bare minimum (248MHz or something) when the screen is off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
No, it's a good question. The answer is that we don't know for sure. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.

But usually with overclocking phones, just as with PCs, they either handle it fine, or they don't (e.g. start freezing etc, at which point you know you've gone too high).

Maybe you shorten the processor's life, but even if you do, I personally suspect that you'll have upgraded the phone before it becomes a problem, given that processors aren't usually the thing that fails on a phone (more likely to be screen, battery, USB connector, etc).

But at the end of the day, it's up to you to decide if the potential risks outweigh the benefits.
