[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] jay_jay_n:
well i use the tab a lot and when browsing any site with flash and graphics the avail memory drops to 40mb or less then thats when its gonna crash especially if you get a call at the same time.. i use advance task killer froyo just to free up memory here and there but since froyo the task killers can't really force close the tasks thats why the stock manager works well but doesn't show what background services are taking up memory and thats a major problem im still looking for a good task killer that will show and kill but not take up a large footprint in the memory , a program that seems to work well with my ATK is Fast Reboot its restarts all the apps running and frees up memory greatly helps a lot , for some reason the pro version disappeared that allows you to exlude certain tasks from restarting on click.

I really don't think if you use the tab a lot and as a phone you can't live without a one click task killer, don't really trust android os managing my ram, as well noticed when something such as yahoo mail eats up ram and cpu, it doesn't get closed automatically by android , big alternative i've noticed was uninstall it and use the stock email app and works so much better on memory and cpu.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] le3ky:
i use the tab lots, as a phone too. I survive great without a task killer. I trust android to manage my free memory. I don't trust all apps to respect the os tho.

[Nexus S General] audi_rs:
hey all, just a quick question that im looking to get a quick answer for. i have a pending sale for my nexus one, but i want to confirm before i go through with the sale.

will the nexus s work on rogers 3g bands? iirc rogers is 850 and 1900 and according to google.com/nexus it supports those GSM bands

Connectivity

* Quad-band GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900

* Tri-band HSPA: 900, 2100, 1700

* HSPA type: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) HSUPA (5.76Mbps)

TIA
[Nexus S General] mingkee:
Currently NS only has AWS version, which works with T-Mobile, Cicinnati Bell, I Wireless, Stelera Wireless; Wind Mobile, Mobilicity.

Hopefully there's 850/1900 variation like nexus one for ATT and Rogers, Bell

thanks for the quick reply. looks like i will be pulling my for sale ad
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
I've been using Android on my TP2 for most of this year - 24 hours a day (subject to reboots) for most of that time.

The day before yesterday, my phone wouldn't wake up. Nothing too unusual, simply reset, WinMo, HaRET, I'm back.

But then it froze again, about 2 minutes after getting to the lock screen. So I went through the cycle again - same results. Since then I have tried:

Deleting (renaming) my data.img

Creating a completely fresh install (FRX03, latest kernel and rootfs, no data.img)

Reformatting my SD card (which has never needed reformatting in all the months I have been using Android)

Using a different SD card

Removing any overclocking in startup

All of the above result in the same freeze. If I don't attend to it, then it goes into a sleep that it never wakes from. If I attend to it, it stays awake then freezes. It takes about as long as it takes to unlock the screen, menu, options, get as far as selecting my APN, then it freezes. This would be on a completely fresh install.

Windows Mobile seems to continue to work just as well as it ever has. I've had to use it for the last couple of days as I couldn't get Android running, and I hate it! I haven't changed anything recently on WinMo. As I don't use WinMo I haven't got anything installed that isn't stock after having to hard reset when the startup utility somehow messed it up. I don't overclock in Windows.

I am at a loss as to what to try next!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
You've tried all the usual stuff...

What about your pm.sleep setting? You've also removed any scrap of overclocking? Please post your startup.txt.

Also, do you use the so-called 'startup utility'? You mention haret so I didn't think so, but then you mention it later in your post. This tool will change whatever is in your startup.txt, so for troubleshooting purposes I'd like to leave it out. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
This is the one I have been using with my setup with F22's rootfs (see the b4=HOME option):

set ramsize 0x100000009
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 force_cdma=0 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=1 b4=HOME physkeyboard=rhod100_uk"
boot

However, I have also used a virgin setup both on my regular card and on the other card, which looks like this (only the keyboard changed from default):

set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2292
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=240 msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 clock-7x00.a11=500 msmvkeyb_toggle=off pmem.extra=1 force_cdma=0 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 pm.sleep_mode=2 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod100_uk"
boot

As far as sovereignty's startup app - I haven't used that since he launched it as whilst it appears to work fine, after I have used it I get the issue of not being able to run anything in WinMo until I hard reset :-( So I just use a shortcut link to HaRET.

Something else I forgot to mention in the original post was the the format of the main card was done using gparted.

What do you reckon arrrghhh? You may have noticed that I have been hanging around and posting on this forum for many many months, so I've seen and therefore tried most of the usual troubleshooting steps!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Oooh! Very excited! I'm writing this from XDAndroid!

I tried booting into it again after that last post, and lo and behold it didn't crash... yet!

I'm hoping now that the problems I've been having were a transient glitch that won't return!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Unfortunately the excitement was short lived :(

It lasted about 45 minutes, then died in its sleep. Next boot was shorter, and now it dies after about 10 minutes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Indeed, which is much appreciated :D

At any rate, let's break down your cmdline, as both of your startup.txt's are a little wonky.

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 [B]msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78[/B] [B]clock-7x00.a11=500[/B] msmvkeyb_toggle=off [B]pmem.extra=1[/B] force_cdma=0 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 [I]pm.sleep_mode=2[/I] rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=1 b4=HOME physkeyboard=rhod100_uk"

Please remove anything in bold, those are 'deprecated' commands - shouldn't hurt anything tho, they should be ignored by the kernel (I thought).

Now my next question, is why do you have 2 different ramsizes? Mine is

set ramsize 0x10000000

which is what you have in your "vanilla" startup, but it doesn't look very vanilla to me... Let me break that one down as well:

set cmdline "lcd.density=240 [B]msmts_calib=0x9f.0x39a.0x35c.0x78 clock-7x00.a11=500[/B] msmvkeyb_toggle=off [B]pmem.extra=1[/B] force_cdma=0 gsensor_axis=2,1,3 [I]pm.sleep_mode=2[/I] [I]acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800[/I] rel_path=andboot hw3d.force=1 physkeyboard=rhod100_uk"

Now in both, anything that is in bold should be removed, anything in italics you should consider changing to see if it has an effect. First, in this second cmdline statement I would remove the OC statement entirely, just to rule it out. Second, you may want to try a different pm.sleep setting. With that said, mine is set to 2 and works just fine :p

Hrm... Just had a thought. Did you update to the 12/04 kernel? Perhaps something in that kernel broke rhod100's again. Not saying that's the case, just a shot in the dark. Revert back to the next oldest kernel if the cmdline monkeying doesn't change anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] snalbansed:
Thanks. I've removed the extra guff, and removed the extra '9' - that must have got in there when trying to edit the file in WinMo!

This is the startup on my regular build, so I'd already removed the overclocking, and I left the sleep on 2.

And touch wood, it's working... it's been 2.5 hours so far...

Thanks again!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] sad0felix:
Now that you are in testing mood (:P) try setting pm.sleep_mode=1.

If it doesn't lock up, can't be worse for battery duration.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] G.Hook:
I kept searching for a BIOS boot screen for the Samsung Captivate, but could not find one. So I created my own. I took the energy star logo, format, and android end animation from frysee's Nexus post. So thanks frysee!

This is tweaked with most of the information from the Captivate (example: Hummingbird Processor and 512MB RAM).

I know there are multiple ways of installing this, but the way I do it is to save it to a location on your SD card and then use Root Explorer to copy it into your system-media folder. (back up your original bootanimation.zip first!)

I am not responsible for any damage you may do to your phone by using this, but it does work on my phone :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ravensysteam:
Hey guys, for usually I don't do this and try to help myself on my own when I brick stuff but this time after trying and failing all possible methods for about 10 hours Iam finally here to ask you what I can do...

------ SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!! HALLELUJA GUYS I REVIVED MY MAGIC!!!!! ------------------

SOLUTION:

-> I used the Arabic RUU, which was only SLIGHTLY (But nonetheless somehow!) newer than the Asian RUU I had before!

I checked the size of the RUU and it was 60 MB, thus small enough to might have a suitable system.img!

Then I downloaded it, ran the RUU and checked the temporary files for the ROMs and there was only ROM.zip. I tried to just ran the RUU upgrade but it got stuck again (as always)

NOW I could use the rom.zip from my original RUU (Vodafone Germany, 32B!) and insert in in the Temp.File of the Arabic version, then just run the upgrade as usual.

SO TO ALL WHO GET STUCK WHILE UPDATING: Search for a RUU which contains the ROM in the same way (There are 3: rom.zip, rom.nbh and rom.zip/rom1.zip) and copy your original Files into it! The only thing you need is a newer RUU, then it will run despite the fact it wont install the System img!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phk:
But where were you stuck? At which screen?

I was flashing my friends HTC Magic 32A to put a new recovery, hboot and SPL.

When I was upgrading the SPL from 6.xx.08.xx to 6.xx.10.xx (i flashed an update.zip with AmonRA recovery) the flash went OK and then it said: "Reboot to complete upgrade"

So I rebooted, and this image appeared:

And now nothing else shows up. Not fastboot, not recovery, nothing. Just this damn icon.

I heard that the solution could be to put a new update.zip on the SDCard, and let the installation of new SPL continue...

Afterall, this update for SPL was an update(3mb), not a complete SPL (20mb)...... But i really don't know what new update.zip to use...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ravensysteam:
Tried to use a RUU.exe? from the HTC Page or here from the forums?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phk:
From htc.. But phone was not even detected
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Ravensysteam:
Well my solution obviously only does work if the phone got bricked by RUU and you get to the RUU screen. Have no clue about your problem tho, Guess you can only try some Update.zips and see what happens
[HD7 General] anwei40:
Edited:

I'm getting the phone repaired through Clean Planet Repair (iphonerepair.com).

I had some problems with them the first time I sent it in, but the manager(?) contacted me and we came to a pretty reasonable solution.

That repairs in progress, so, if your HD7 is cracked there's a place that will have done at least *one* HD7 repair there...
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
$100 to fix a screen (replace it) is a good deal, please get it done, as HTC will charge u more for sure..
[HD7 General] nrfitchett4:
I'm sure its the same deal as the hd2, you can replace just the lcd, but usually will damage the digitizer in the process so it's easier to replace both pieces together.

[General Questions and Answers] JediFonger:
just curious :D

afaik, no one sells microSDXC yet and no hardware sets support SDXC yet.

i still have a hermes and original rom didn't support SDHC... but custom ROM sw upgrade did the trick.

will it be the same for current generation of phones whether WP7, DROID and any phone? will current gen. be able upgrade from SDHC->SDXC? :o
[General Questions and Answers] JediFonger:
any1? SDHC is still 32GB max. i'm out of room already ;)
[General Questions and Answers] MartyLK:
Unlike SD > SDHC, SDXC is a hardware spec. It's not possible for a custom ROM to implement SDXC unless the hardware supports it.
[General Questions and Answers] tolis626:
Yep.As Marty did well to say,there is no software trick to make SDXC to work.If you want more space than 32gigs,then you have two choices:

1)The 64gb version of the iPhone,and that's only if you want to fill your space with music,video and pictures or

2)With Android,get a Samsung device.Most come out with 16gigs of space(there are 32gb versions of some) and have a microSD slot for up to 32gigs more,totalling at about 45gigs(You can't use the whole space of the internal memory,some is reserved from the system).More than enough I think,and it can store any kind of file.

The choice is yours. :)
[General Questions and Answers] mwarner:
I understood that the hardware specification has remained unchanged, but the card is formatted as exFAT on SDXC rather than FAT32 on SDHC.

The simplified specification implies this too, although I am not 100% sure.

https://www.sdcard.org/developers/t...ified_Specification_Ver_3.01_Final_100518.pdf

The relevant bits seem to be "Card Initialization and Identification Flow", which only checks for SD 2.0 (HC) for initialisation purposes, and the following text, which mentions Physical Layer 2 in conjunction with SDXC but is a bit more ambiguous:

Card Capacity Classification

In terms of card capacity, three types of SD Memory Cards are defined:

• Standard Capacity SD Memory Card (SDSC) supports capacity up to and including 2 G bytes (231 bytes). All versions of the Physical Layer Specifications define the Standard Capacity SD Memory Card.

• High Capacity SD Memory Card (SDHC) supports capacity more than 2 G bytes (231 bytes) up to 32G bytes and is defined from the Physical Layer Specification Version 2.00.

• Extended Capacity SD Memory Card (SDXC) supports more than 32 G bytes (235 bytes) up to 2TB.

Only hosts that are compliant to the Physical Layer Specification Version 2.00 or later and the File System Specification Ver2.00 or higher can access High Capacity SD Memory Cards and Extended Capacity SD Memory Cards. Other hosts fail to initialize High Capacity SD Memory Cards and Extended Capacity SD Memory Cards.

Only hosts that are compliant to the Physical Layer Specification Version 3.00 or higher and the File System Specification Ver3.00 or later (exFAT supported) can access Extended Capacity SD Memory
[General Questions and Answers] lado44:
I am in the same boat needing 50GB for MP3's. I will be waiting until an Android phone supports SDXC to buy a new device.

There is no such animal as 64GB iPhone yet, perhaps within the next 30 days?

Any Android music app I've tried, you can not have your music library span two drives. So on a Samsung Galaxy you either choose the 16GB internal storage or the 32GB removable card - not both at once.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quarkstring:
My question. At what point will I no longer be able to use the latest and greatest Android version? IE windows 7 isn't going to run on a windows 95 machine. When will my Vibrant be the windows 95 machine? From 95 to 7 might be to much a jump but you get my point.

Its already clear that this time is soon. With all this near field stuff that if I'm correct my vibrant can't do. And of course I only have one camera so all this video phone stuff isn't going to happen....

I also have read that google is going to slow down its releases. Will I be installing Android 2.5?

Just a question I dreamed up falling asleep last night, interesting to think about. I dread the day!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Why isn't this in q&a? Anyways gingerbread requires a 1ghz processor. So you are good for that. As for further releases let me dust off my time machine. Considering the nexus s is virtually identical in specs to the vibrant aside from the ffc, I think we may be able to support past 2.3 but don't know.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBrandonWRX:
You need to do some more research to get a better idea what Nexus S is and what the NFC chip does. This topic belongs in general for starters. Realistically there is no one who is going to have an exact answer although chances of you owning a new phone by the time your Vibrant stops getting updates is pretty high.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashyftw:
I'm sure we'll be able to get past 2.3 there's so many nods these days, that I'm sure we will be fine.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jibreil:
My doubt in particular - especially towards the NFC Chip and Gyro Sensors.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBrandonWRX:
Why? These are hardware and driver related. What is the issue removing the drivers? Like the FFC mod just needed the drivers and implementation into the Rom. Or are you referring to what these do and Vibrant being outdated?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmas0n:
The issue we will meet first is not whether our hardware is up to the task, but whether we have a kernel. The original Nexus One is actually slated to get Android 2.3 before the Nexus S launch date and both the Nexus phones will go well beyond Android 3.0 because there will always be kernel source code available. Contrast that with the Vibrant where we have to rely on Samsung's good will to release a kernel. We'll probably get one for 2.3 (albeit several months if not a year from now) but I would not be surprised if 3.0 is out of the question. Once Samsung stops releasing kernels, it will be entirely in the hands of developers who will be working without source code.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Have those "previously suggested but also previously confirmed to be innacurate spec requirement rumors" now NOW official? If that makes sense. .. (?)

SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASUDave:
Have no fear. As near as I can tell, the Nexus S is basically the same hardware as the Vibrant + FFC. Eugene tweeted that he plans to port 2.3 over to the Vibrant once the Nexus S source is released. If he can get it to work, I see no reason our vibrant's will not be able to be updated anytime the Nexus S is for the foreseeable future.

And its not necessarily Samsung that's causing the update issue. T-Mobile is pretty dang slow when it comes to releasing updates. I'm sure, if the Nexus S is supposed to be next in the line of Google dev phones, that Google has some kind of contract with Samsung about developing drivers for any new version of Android that gets released.

[Fascinate General] BigBonkers:
Ok so i have had the fascinate for a while. I switched to Verizon because they have the best service in my area. I was on ATT with Iphone before.

The phone feels cheap but a great screen

It feels smooth when useing the apps but horribly slow when using the UI itself.

99% of the market is themes and ringtones.

No new games all are ports and old games that I had on the iphone a year ago.

The UI is ugly to me unless I use Launcherpro then it gets Nice. There are no Good scrollable widgets in the market at all. So far without Launcherpro widgets would be pointless!

The GPS lock time is horrible (Yes I know theres a fix coming, which some say realy does nothing)

Ive used some of the roms with kernels in clockwork mod... honestly I see no Improvment compared to Launcherpro... touchwiz sux.

I love the hardware of this phone...except the plastic feel. But coming from a Iphone i can say It just doesnt compare. Push notification apps are rare on android.

I know this is the best option ...only option on Verizon. But I do miss my JAILBROKEN IPHONE. With a jailbroken iphone I was able to do so much more. better theming, skins , even widgets.

Just my thoughts. I expected so much more from Google.
