[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DeoreDX:
Using the mobilespeedtest web page is not very accurate when measuring your phone's connection speed. YOu have to know that something is not right when you are seeing 15,000k when the HD2's 3G radio is not capable of those types of speeds. It supports 7.2mbps 3G speeds max. If you want a more accurate number you need to tether off your phone and use something like speedtest.net to measure the connection. Or if you are on Android download the speedtest applications.

In the past the Android builds measured pretty slow with data speeds. But the latest tytung Gingerbread rom really sped up my data throughput a lot.
[Droid X General] Jon El Canche:
This rom is awesome. There is just one thing I can't figure out. How can I make contact groups like friends or family? Anyone?

I just turned on my Tab, launched the Market, and found that I had automatically gotten the new update! Anyone else get it yet? Looks great on the Tab! :)
[Galaxy Tab General] ayman07:
Yea its kinda weird because i recently upgraded the firmware and before i restored my apps i noticed that i had the new market. I mean i already had it before but that's because i manually installed the update but it's nice to see it being pushed out already to the tabs.
[Galaxy Tab General] shtinker69:
Yea, I got it on my Tab but not on my Nexus One, which is very surprising.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KKellett:
So I've tinkered with my incredible for months and finally got where I like it, better yet where my gf is comfortable using too. I was hoping for some help in getting a similar setup for her and wanted to reach out for some help in comparable ROM, kernel, radio for her.

ROM

I'm currently running skyraider vanilla

because I like some stock HTC but pretty stripped down but Facebook for sense is nice among others

Kernel

We have a new kernel that charges at about a % a minute or so. I also assume I am needing a sense version since I'm looking for a vanilla ROM

Radio

What radio seems to be best? Signal/battery life

Thanks for any input guys. These forums are the best.

Also I have read through some posts but figured I'd ask for some input on favorites here.

Thanks again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Not too familiar with your skyraider vanilla ROM but from the looks and sounds of it, it sounds similar to the Sprint Lover's ROM here on the Evo forums. You can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830153

Here is Myn's Warm ROM. Also a popular favorite based on HTC's Sense

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793471

As for kernels, she should try using Netarchy's Underclocked Kernels. They save power by underclocking dynamically.

There is also a test kernel for battery trickle charging to get the most out of your battery.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KKellett:
1

I like that my phone comfortable fits in my pocket

2

3

In Phoenix area my coverage and speed tests are much better then hers

4

Not knocking the Evo, just not the for me. I bought her the Evo and had to pry her old Blackberry out of her hands.

It will fit perfectly in her large purse though ;)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
Yes, when you use Odin One click, you revert back to stock JF6. JF6 doesn't come with Clockwork, so you'll have to get that back on your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehyecircus:
So I reinstalled packages, what should I do in Clockwork now before installing Perception 9?

Edit: And when should I reset battery stats?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEscapist:
Just hit install zip from sd, then the Perception zip, and then yes.

And you should reset battery stats if you're having issues with the battery being odd. If you want to do it, though, charge to full, boot to CWM, clear batterystats, then turn off your phone and let it charge to full.

[Nook Color General] dascud:
We now have a working cifs.ko and nls_utf.ko. I was able to mount my win7 shares using cifs_manager and stream a few movies using mvideoplayer from the mounted share.

My initial problem seemed to be that I used the android ndk toolchain and the nook kernel is compiled with the codeSourcery toolchain.

After I re-compiled using the codeSourcery toolchain everything works (at least for now)

For those who want to try this.

Download the cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko modules.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16190398/Nook Color 1.0/cifs.ko

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16190398/Nook Color 1.0/nls_utf8.ko

Mount /system as read write and create a directory under /system/lib called modules. Copy the cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko modules under this directory.

Type the following from your windows or linux console

adb shell

#mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

#su

#cd /system/lib

#mkdir modules

#exit

#exit

Now you are back in your windows or linux command prompt

adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules

adb push nls_utf8.ko /system/lib/modules

adb shell

#su

#insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko

#insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko

if everything went well you should see no errors.

#lsmod

(THis should give you a list of running modules)

You should see something like

nls_utf8 1856 0 - Live 0xbf153000

cifs 240060 0 - Live 0xbf113000

#exit

#exit

Download cifs_manager from the android market and follow the instructions from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756158

If you have Astro file manager installed then tapping on the mounted share from cifs_manager will automatically launch Astro and list the folder/files under that share.

BTW, you can copy the modules anywhere you like even under /sdcard/modules but the default path used by cifs_manager is /system/lib/modules. You can edit the path from cifs manager to point to the location of your cifs.ko module.

---- 05/06/2011 Update ------------

New version of cifs.ko, slow-work.ko for the 1.2 update. This is for kernel version 2.6.32.9

Note, cifs.ko requires some symbols from slow-work.ko so you will need to load slow-work.ko first. If you use cifs-manager, under advanced settings

you can check load modules at startup via insmod and put the path to multiple modules for e.g /system/lib/modules/slow-work.ko:/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko.

Everything seems to be working fine for me. Let me know if you run into issues.

[Nook Color General] isolated_epidemic:
Alright! This is fantastic! I can even play my SNES roms over wifi. Thanks for sharing.

The only issue I have noticed is that you need to run the insmod commands every time you reboot the device, and I reboot a lot. For now I'm just using gScript to run the 2 commands whenever I need, but it would be great to have them run when the program starts. I know you're just sharing and this has been mentioned in the app thread, just wanted to make my observations known.

Edit: Found a nifty toggle in the settings of cifs managaer that runs the insmod command at startup. I guess I should look before I complain...
[Nook Color General] thetoady:
any chance you can provide your build environment, so that the rest of us can work on hacking the kernel.
[Nook Color General] dascud:
Setting up the environment is ridiculously easy esp if you have access to a linux box. There is a very well documented wiki page which outlines the process of building your own custom kernel for the nook color.

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor:_Build_the_Original_Kernel

I downloaded the codesourcery tool chain and did the minimum install as I did not care about the IDE and added the path to my environment. THat was about it. Everything else I followed the wiki page.

Here is my .config file if you like. When you run "make menuconfig" you can choose to load an alternate config file instead of the default. Just put this .config (after renaming it to .config_myconfig or something) under your distro/kernel directory.

Let me know if you need anything specific and I'll try to help. I had to add the .txt extension to the config file for xda upload but you can rename it to anything you want.
[Nook Color General] pezhore:
Hrm, couldn't get that working on my system.

I'm getting this error:

Mountingthe share has failed with an error.

mount: Invalid argument

Thoughts?
[Nook Color General] dascud:
Seems more like an error in configuring CIFS_Manager.

If the module doesnt load you get a different error from Cifs_Manager

"No such device".

Can you try using adb shell and use insmod to load the module manually.

CHeck with lsmod if the module is loaded.

Can you post you cifs_manager screen for the share that you are trying to mount.
[Nook Color General] madrascafe:
I'm sure you noticed that there's an error in dascud instructions... the 2nd insmod command has a filename typo..

its should read

#insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko
[Nook Color General] madrascafe:
dascud.. thanks a ton... as mentioned in my previous post can you please make the change in your post
[Nook Color General] dascud:
Done. Were you able to mount the CIFS shares ?
[Nook Color General] madrascafe:
Yes. No problem at all. I even opened files from root explored & played some music. Thank you for this
[Nook Color General] ctos:
firstly thanks dascud's great work! Awesome!

I found a problem when mount with option iocharset=utf8, cifsmanager report below error message then failed to mount

Mounting the share has failed with an error.

mount: Can not access a needed share library

When I remove iocharset=utf8, mount success but I failed to access any folder including non-western characters.
[Nook Color General] dascud:
CIfs_manager only loads the cifs.ko modules. You will need to load nls_utf8.ko manually or using a script to display non-western character set. I think you can use something like gscript for the purpose.
[Nook Color General] cybergenie35:
I've followed the instructions, but trying to launch the cifsmanager I get

Application not installed on Device

from reading the FAQ on the cifsmanager page, it says its a problem with the launcher. is this because I've updated the NC to 1.01? thanks
[Nook Color General] ctos:
gscript works for me. thanks a lot!
[Nook Color General] bender29:
I got this when I put the computer name in the share path. I switched to using IP address instead and it worked.
[Nook Color General] succulent:
Hi,

Thanks for the files. I didn't follow the steps in the instructions because there is an easier way. Like mention before, ClifsManager only need cifs.ko.

I basically just copy cifs.ko to my sd card. In the CM setting, just change path to

/sdcard/cifs.ko

Setting up shares is easy too, share path is your ip/<sharefolder>, mount point /sdcard/<foldername> and your user/pwd. This worked with Windows 7.

ClifsManager is definitely one of the must have on the NC.

Hi,

I have a samsung galaxy s from Bell and the GPS doesn't work at all. I never locked and cant locate more than 1 gps. I waited for the froyo update but it didnt fix it. So I would like to return it for repairs. But, the phone is unlocked. I have searched but have not found an answer on how to relock the phone.

Thank you
[Fascinate General] zdlane:
ok, let me just say that I am a complete newb and I attempted to do things beyond what I should have been doing.

I have a samsung fascinate that I've had for about 2 months. Until today I have been prety conservative. I rooted on day 2, but all I did was remove all of the crap and run launcher pro as default UI.

Today I got the bright idea to add a custom rom and put on a voodoo kernel.

After realizing that I'd completely screwed up my phone I attempted to use ODIN to restore to stock. I was able to do so, but none of the apps were working correctly. I read on a forum that in order to fix the problem, I needed to follow a guide to completely rid my phone of voodoo. unfortunately in following that guide I ended up in a loop that will not let me get out of the android system recovery.

At one point I was able to load CWM, but I am no longer able to access those systems. I can give more details, but I am not sure what else to add right now.

Does anyone have any ideas?

[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
well I'm planning to get a new phone last next week

or sometime in Jan before my b'day

I'm just wondering, how does android on the HD2 compare vs the Galaxy S I9000?

Please don't turn this into a flame war

I just want some facts and figures :)

cheers all :D
[HD2 General] JesusFreak316:
Android is rather smooth on the HD2; just watch some recent videos on Youtube, but the specs on the Galaxy S, especially the graphics which are significantly better. If you aren't planning on playing many games, go for the HD2. It's builds are mostly smoother than on the Galaxy in my experience. Though a custom rom on the Galaxy S works wonders; I installed a bionix rom on my friends Vibrant. One major plus for the Galaxy S though is the fact that the Nexus S is basically a De-Samsunged Galaxy S device so you will get some great new roms on there soon. Overall, I'd get the Galaxy S if you are only interested in Android and/or want to game; and get the HD2 if you want to have the most hackable phone on the market. If dualbooting doesn't interest you; go for the Galaxy S. One last thing, I was able to get a US T-Mobile HD2 off-contract for $150, while Galaxy S devices are significantly more expensive off-contract. If you're on contract, they're about the same.
[HD2 General] Mr.Pie[OCN]:

how about compared to the Captivate?
[HD2 General] lude219:

[HD2 General] romka.t:
As it has been mentioned, if you're interested mainly in android, I'd get the Galaxy S, but if you like to mess around with stuff like roms and such, I'd get HD2.

Hardware wise - Galaxy all the way, though I like the HD2 build quality more mostly due to materials used.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
The captivate is a galaxy s... just a locked, branded one. But hardware on all the galaxy s phones are pretty much the same. Like everyone else said, if you just want to run android and not windows mobile, get a galaxy s series phone. My brother just ordered a mesmerize from us cellular... its free right now (after $80 mailin rebate) with a contract, plus they give $100 credit towards his monthly bills... not a bad deal at all!

If you use the phone before trying to use data (i.e. browsing the web), then the data connection goes away during a phone call.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
I have mine all set to Smartass.

If you select a governer leave setcpu turned on and let your phone idle with the screen on and watch it.

You don't want you CPU maxing out when it's not in use.

I find smartass to keep it at the lowest clock (245 for me) better than any other governers.

Probably should add, i'm getting 20+ hours off a charge with pretty heavy use. but that's with profiles scaling my cpu down as my battery dies, all set to smartass.

Battery isnt terrible on performance as if I stayed by a router for 60% of a full seidio 3500 would be 48-55 hours. This has been best combo for me for speed and life that I have found. no reboots or basic lockups occasionally for an extended time. Maybe its the way smartass looks for what to do by scaling when performance is all way looking for next task that would help it work. But thats my phone, my old droid reponded very dif to kernal swaps as I flashed many too. Battery life off the wifi more has netted me in the 40ish hour charge point.
