[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Backdraft11:
Anyone have any tips/SetCPU profiles to save battery life? Coming from a Milestone I'm very disappointed in the battery life of the D2G, even with the latest Fission ROM. I was surprised at how the battery went from 100% to 20% in less than 7 hours (some mp3/podcast, a bit of WiFi, no phone or text) when before on my Milestone it could last many times up to a day.

Note that I've set all phone/ADW animations off and have Automatic brightness.

Thank you.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
I'll tell you my SetCPU settings.

Screen Off 600

Battery < 75% 1000

Battery < 50% 800

Battery < 25% 600

Works well for me.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
I would say yes to that, if I could think of any issues with the current rom...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Randy should check the manf site of his toaster. They just released the V2.0 firmware for his toaster. It features 2% gradiated light and dark settings but it only toasts one side. But they wanted to make sure he had it on a timely basis and released it early!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] randytheshiv:
lol. you guys really think he's working on the rom? it's be nice if he is. but i highly doubt it. he used to be a dev i praised for listening and responding quickly; but now we get a "there will finally be a D2 Global update." he said that a month ago and there's been no word since. that's wild.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Well thats what happens when your planning for your wedding!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] xploited:
lol... i can't believe these people throwing complaints at an open source developer / project.

devs spend their free time to improve the phone experience for everyone, and have private lives besides that. they aren't getting paid to please you with newest and hottest updates.

this is open source - either wait or take the code and do it yourself.

complaining won't get you anywhere. cheerz
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Toshik23:
You're right unless developers stated "donation" version, which is used by many people who donated. So...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] xploited:
The update will be publicly available no matter if you individually donate or not. Donating was your choice.

Anyway, when you bought a Motorola, you knew what you are getting yourselves into. If updates and custom ROMs is your priority, you should have gone with HTC. :p

I got Motorola for design, build quality and specs :D

My first phone was actually a super duper locked up Milestone, and what do you know? It's running CM6 smoothly now. My second phone is a D2G and I am sure by the time I get it delivered (month+), there will be a custom ROM available.

Just subscribe to the dev's twitter account / forum thread and get on with your life.

By waiting impatiently you are only making it harder for yourself. :p
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
If you have installed Fission then you already have the donation version.

You are also entitled to any new releases if and when they are ready and made available.

So anyone who donated got what they donated for.

Anything Ang releases after that (if anything) is a pure bonus!

And if I were him I see no reason to work on something or adding any features for people who don't appreciate the work involved.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] jones7773:
so true, AG, so true

there are Two types of people who replace Roms on phones,

1) those who back up their info

2) those who WISH they had backed up their info
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ZeroOveride:
With there being no SBF for the Droid2G it is a must.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
i know guys, im a retard lol. :( if my phone wont boot up, and ive done a wipe data in the stock recovery, will they be able to tell i rooted/rom'd it and charge me for it? could i somehow wipe the memory completely....like say a strong magnet in close vacinity...lol
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ZeroOveride:
If you have insurance, you could always report it lost for $130 then resell the brick on ebay to someone for parts.

Or wait for a leaked SBF
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
damn....why didnt i think of that. i already called and told them it wouldnt boot up, im getting the replacement tomorrow....i hope the sbf is released in the next 10 days, thats how long i have to send it off. what if i smash it and say it got broken in the time between my phoone call to vzw and the time i got the replacement?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Redneck Trash:
Do we really need to be discussing how to commit insurance fraud in any forum?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] newk8600:
I think this is a lesson for D2 G users to be really careful. If you have a chance try and check out my post in the general section. It might help you and if you can get back into recovery you can remove any and all modded software.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ZeroOveride:
Just saw AngDroid's tweet. New RC is up on FRM. RC6
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
how come all i see is RC3?

EDIT: nvm, didnt have the newest FRM. i see it now. scared to do it lol, i really wish we had an SBF.

pardon my newbiness for just a minute, but if i make a backup, and then lets say it happens to me again and all i can get to is the STOCK recovery (READ: not bootstrap) can i flash my backup from that and recover everything?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ZeroOveride:
I don't think so. But if you can reset in stock recovery, I bet you could re bootstrap and then restore from backup.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
well see with my last one, i could get to stock recovery, but no matter what i did in stock recovery, bootstrap never came back. i think im really gonna wait til theres an SBF before i flash again. call me a scaredy cat lol.

Also, thanks for answering alot of my questions, youre really helpful ZO.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ZeroOveride:
Don't thank me. Thank the developers. Its their hard work that brings us here.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
2.4 is now up on teamdefuse.com and FRM. Change log on home page. Updating threads now...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
Hnnnngghhhhhhh, want....to....flash.....

damn motorola/verizon for not releasing an sbf yet.

Hypothetical situation:

I make backup, i flash rom, brick, BUT i can get to bootstrap. i can then apply my backup and everything goes back to normal. right?

sorry, im just super scared to do anything after bricking the first one.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Yes you can use your backup if things go wrong and you CAN get into clockwork recovery.

If you follow all the instructions you should be fine. During install, the install script only deletes the system/app and system/framework file and writes new folder and files. It does not touch anything else, well it does write a to xbin and bin but nothing that should break anything.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
im doing it....im scared though lol.

EDIT: no brick :D lol
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] minh89c:
can i have a question.I have a Droid 2 Global.Use 2G and 3G carrier in my country.When i use 2G it's no problem.But 3G is slow.And the battery is very bad.I can use only 1 day no wifi and 3G.T__T.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
Loving it! Sooooooo fast! And after hitting it with task killer im running with over 300 mega of free ram. Insanity!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ZeroOveride:
Out of town right now, just popped on for a couple of minutes. I guess I will be up a bit longer. Installing 2.4 right now.

TeamDeFuse, Great Job everyone. I made a small donation earlier this week. If Angdroid gets the T-Mo and AT&T SIMs working, I got a nice bonus waiting for ya!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] newk8600:
Task killers should only be used for killing stubborn programs. You're going to make your phone work harder then it has to. Froyo keeps recently used programs in memory to speed up the access time for them.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] yzak47:
i got the issue of no connecting tone when calling out..

i found the issue list, here is the solution :

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Settings, Sound, Enable Call Connect

2. Call someone

What is the expected output? Tone should be heard right before ringing is heard.

What do you see instead? Nothing

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Fission 2.2.2 SP1 on the DX

Please provide any additional information below.

I like cake

http://code.google.com/p/fission-rom/issues/detail?id=64#c0

but i cannot even find the "enable call connect " in the D2G , how can my d2g solve this issue??
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Backdraft11:
After installing Green Power battery saver I am getting much better battery life, basically it will turn off WiFi/data whenever screen is turned off.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] shaddix2:
no update huh.

at least you can now flash the d2 roms
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] gifferjesus:
Their site just went out, as well as FRM. Something fishy here.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
it did the same last week, itll be back up soon
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] xploited:
the d2 romer has bugs (indicator lights, etc)

i hope that can be fixed
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Backdraft11:
Anyone else experiencing random restarts with this ROM, and how to fix it? I heard its an issue with many ROMs, and its not so bad (ie. doesn't do it every day), but still annoying.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
I switched to the Stock ROM and it still did random reboots as well.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
no random restarts here.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Haioken:
Just installed fusion rom approx 10 minutes ago, phone freezes when I do virtually anything.

Have attempted to install Facebook app five times, each time the app downloads and fails to install.

Locks up when accessing camera.

Locks up accessing settings for coder's wallpaper

Locks up when accessing many different settings pages (IE: SD card & phone storage) Or half the time when even moving from menu into settings.

Locks up when selecting power off!?

Is this a known issue, and are there any workarounds? All I wanted was to get rid of moto's blur crap, and in doing so I've ended up with something that's slightly less useful than a brick, as it's not heavy enough to break a mobile phone shop's window to 'obtain' a replacement.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] helmutiffe:
Did you clear both the data and cache partitions before installing Fission? Things tend not to work right if you don't.

I have touch screen freezes of a few seconds once every little while (few days); a workaround this is to turn the screen off/on. Random reboots are rare except for the occasional 'bad day', but I've had this behaviour even on the standard Moto ROM.

In my experience Fission is much faster yet no less stable than the standard ROMs (which unfortunately isn't a very high standard to meet).
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] anyok6:
Curious if anyone has had the same issue or know a solution.

I have been using Fission 2.4.3 on D2G and the vibrate refuses to work when I receive text messages. The phone will vibrate, for example when turning on/off but if I get a text or phone call it will not vibrate (yes I have vibrate always setting on).

Thanks,

sorry for the q/a.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Did you go into text messaging settings and turn it on there?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] billabong716:
does anyone have Tap Tap Revenge app installed with this ROM?

I cannot find anyone with this problem, but when I go to buy a track, I get an error that says "your transaction could not be completed...problem"

Can anyone confirm they have the same problem, or throw out any helpful hints as to what it might be?

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, etc.

Thanks for your help!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] phaim:
I have an issue when I put Fission on my D2G I could use help with.

I got my corporate email locked by my employer's IT department because it the device was registering as "Android". I noticed that Google Sync was similarly calling it "Android" when running Fission but it would call it "MOTOBLUR30" when it was running stock. Is there a way to install Fission but still have the phone be called "MOTOBLUR30" so I don't get my corporate email locked up again by IT?

Thanks in advance
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] thekidmoon:
You need the updated market and the only person who knows how to do it is Angdroid.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
I've noticed a new bug on mine. The TalkBack application fails to update. The market constantly tells me I have updates, because it's this stupid TalkBack business that refuses to update.

Anyone else have that?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] twistmac:
I have the same problem, I didn't think it was specific to fission though, maybe it is.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Not on that particular app but on others. when that happens first thing I do is cancel the update then restart it manually.

If that doesn't work I Uninstall the app go to my apps look for the purchased label (if it is a paid app) and install.

Free apps will not show up in My apps after you uninstall so just go to the market and re-install it from there.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
This app is not uninstallable.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Where can I get the koush bootstrapper? This is needed to flash this rom? I have the phone rooted. I can only find it for $2, is there a free alternative?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Ok, I bought the wrong bootstrap I think. I got the Droid X, instead of the Droid2. I didn't think it made a difference, but when the phone restarts I just get a black screen, and gotta yank the battery.

Do I need the Droid 2 version? If so, think there's a way to get my money back for Droid X?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
You need the droid 2 version, and android market policy is you have 15 minutes to try an app and get a refund, after that you cannot get your money back
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Dukenukemx:
Got it working, but sucks I had to "DONATE" twice.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] apollyon0810:
And im pretty sure the bootstrappers and recoveries are available for free on koushs website. I think the market versions are just if you want to donate.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] apollyon0810:
All the info is at the bottom of the page.

[Droid 2 Global Android Development] derte:
Holy Hell

Does anybody else check FRM daily to see if there is a new ROM sitting in there just waiting to be downloaded? feel cheated? feeling like a skank? Wish I could get my donation back so I can give it up to someone who would like to spend time on a ROM for D2G. Might just get a EVO Shift since it has a keyboard....

Sincerely;

Disappointed as hell
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
No I don't check FRM.

I follow Team Defuse and Angdroid on twitter. Any change to FRM will be reported there first.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] randytheshiv:
lol. i felt the same way bro. now im running liberty with the rommer v7. it'll hold me out until the iphone 5 comes out. i dont wanna deal with this incomplete software android stuff. why do we need to depend on an individual for what MOTOROLA AND/OR GOOGLE should've done? i am still upset that i gave ang my money but it's a lesson learned. i'm on to bigger, better, and COMPLETE things.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] shaddix2:
Switch to a tbolt. It's not too late
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] twistmac:
I think Fission is actually really nice (I'm just happy that someone did away with Blur), people seem to be upset just because there isn't something new and not because things don't work. hopefully they'll be something new when Gingerbread is out though.

sent from my amazing d2g
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] helmutiffe:
I too, am done with Android. It is a perpetual beta test, and the proverbial "box of chocolates" as for some people it works perfectly and is the best OS ever, and for others it's a buggy disaster that only gets worse with time.

One thing I've learnt to count on - and that's to not count on Google for following through on anything. With each new cutesy-dessert-named version the bugs don't get fixed, only extra features (with their own issues) that nobody really asked for.

Who gives a **** about whatever new trinkets are in Gingerbread, when the basics don't even damn work. Today was the last straw - for the umpteenth time, my phone failed to notice incoming phone calls (no ringing, no answer/decline popup - just a 'missed call' SMS), or have days where it just doesn't want to download email. Right now it's trying to connect to Vodafone, even though it's got a Telstra SIM and I have selected the network manually. Some D2Gs don't unlock enough - maybe mine is a little too unlocked? :D

A 1.2GHz smartphone whose user interface jerks more than a schoolboy on the internet. New software updates that do nothing but break the GSM radio even more than it already is. In addition to this, all those bugs and inexplicable feature omissions that were in my old Milestone running 2.0.1, are still there in the latest D2G software. (If it wasn't for Cyanogen 6 back then, I'd have flown the Android coop long ago)

If those of us frustrated with Android should be doing anything, it should be to thank the XDA devs such as Angdroid for making the Android experience that little bit more bearable. We all have to remember that Ang is just a guy, no more special than any other, trying to make these phones better. He doesn't have to do this. It is not his job to fix and futureproof the D2G on Moto's behalf, and one must be careful not to mistake "donation for current work" as "payment for future work".

It is the job of Motorola and Google to be the stewards of their product and platform, and time and again it is they who have failed. And a special cheerio to Verizon for taking a bad situation and making it even worse. Some of the crap US carriers pull would be illegal in many other countries!

To think I sold a perfectly good iPhone 4 (which I got free from my carrier) for this. :(
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] shaddix2:
I have two rl friends who don't like Android. Both of them had a moto as their first Android device. Do not think it is coincidence
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
You can thank Motorola and verizon for most of your problems, not google. After all, the leggy interface is made by Motorola, the crappy email client is made by Motorola, the gsm feature was locked down and crippled by verizon. Its the manufacturers and carriers that kill it for us, when you use a bone stock android phone and realize how beautifully smooth and stable it is (I also have a g2) you realize who's fault it is.

Back on subject, anyone notice they've run out of memory even when their phone isn't doing anything? I turn my phone on and don't use it for an hour, check back on it and it only has 20 MB left of memory, with very few processes running!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Toshik23:
teamdefuse.com=> "This Account Has Been Suspended"

No more Fission ROM ?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
seriously, this has happened several times already, it doesnt really mean anything, ang is still going to keep working, even though it seems he hasnt lately.

Clockworkmod Recovery?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
Do you have to do a Nandroid Backup before installing this ROM? If so, how do you do a Nandroid backup on a Droid 2 Global? I searched all over and all the tutorials I find are for other phones. Sorry for being such a newbie.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Ersdal:
If you have the Fission Rom Manager installed, you can choose to back-up before you flash.

Otherwise you'll have to boot into recovery (easiest would be to download Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery from the Market) and when it reboots into recovery there's a menu called "backup/recovery". It's in there.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
I would prefer to do first a Nandroid backup just in case. I already installed Droid 2 Bootstrap recovery but then how do you do to boot into recovery? Don't you also have to install Rom Manager from Clockwordmod? The thing is that I did it and there is an option there to do a Back up but there is no option for the Droid 2 global, just for the Droid 2 and I tried to back up anyways and it gets stuck in the process and never does it.

How do I do it? Thank you.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Ersdal:
Flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager first.

To reboot into recovery just open the Bootstrap application, select "Reboot Recovery". The phone will then reboot, and you will see a black screen with some green text. Along the bottom there's a menu that says something like "Backup/recovery". Press that one and you'll enter the submenu. Press "Backup" and the phone will make a nandroid backup. This'll take quite some time if you have many applications installed.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
What is the purpose of Flashing Clockworkmod recovery first. I finally did the backup but didnt flash it first. Is it wrong what I did?

Thank you.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ddk85:
after flashing fission it says "Activate your phone" and trying to call...

what to do?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
umm...activate your phone?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
Now after doing the Nandroid backup using the Bootstrap application, every time I turn off the phone and turn it on again, the black screen with small green letters comes up asking me if I want to reboot, and all the other options from the Bootstrap application. Why can't I go back to how a normal reboot used to be? Why is this happening? It will always be like this from now on after having installed the Bootstrap application?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] ddk85:
yes.

but with another sim-card it was possible to skip it, and all going fine.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] oberberg:
Milestone 2?

Is this working on a Milestone 2?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
Confused

Was there a response to this post?: (I didn't find any)

"I am using an unlocked D2G on a non-US sim card. The dialing feature works fine with stock ROM. I was able to install Fission rom (2.4.3) and sim card hot fix via FRM, but for some reason, I can't make phone calls using the Fission rom. Is anyone else having the same problem or did i miss something? Any kind of help would be appreciated.

I really wished the GSM dialling would work on the Fission rom because it's so much better than the stock rom."

I am also using an unlocked D2G on a non US sim card and I am concerned about installing Fission and then not being able to make simple phone calls. This was posted back in January, so was this already solved or it is better to not change the rom and stay with the stock one if we are outside the US on a non-Verizon carrier?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
hgrimberg, you can use GSM with Fission. All you need to do is to flash the GSM fix from FRM. Make sure you don't have PIN code on the SIM as Fission doesn't support PIN feature as far as I remember.

If I didn't like BLUR (:)) I would consider the recently released Phenom ROM. It is based on newer kernel and radio than Fission and feels like a better choice.
