[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
why do you need to have 100mb+ free? why this magic number?

linux based systems are very intelligent when it comes to memory management - if the ram is not being used then it is wasted is the way linux looks at it. 60-70mb free means nothing in the linux world - it keeps frequently used processes in memory so they launch faster but if another process comes along demanding ram the linux core will kill off the running-but-unused process in order to make space.

this is why task killers do more harm than good - constantly killing processes only to have android fire them back up again as it wants them running. you will find that a side effect of this is poor battery life also, as the system is doing much more work than it needs to.

basically, in android/linux - free ram does NOT equal a quicker running system.

First off, is it possible to play death.fm from my phone, and actually see who is playing? There are a few apps that play death.fm, but none tell me who is actually playing.

Can anyone point me in the direction of flashing a ROM with an SD card?

Can this be a custom rom?

I flashed via sync (cable) a zillion times, but latest chuckydroidrom I flashed, my phone can't be recognised anymore, so no active synch. but the phone does work. only I can't sync :( which is obviously a problem..

can anyone help me?

Thanks for the support

edit: I downloaded an older version of windows mobile device center and that did the trick!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
1) Prepares your SD (<8GB SD Card)

a) Format your SD by FAT32​

2) Take the "RUU_signed.nbh" from your ship ROM and copy it to the SD card.

3) Rename the "RUU_signed.nbh" to "leoimg.nbh".

4) Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

5) Follow the instructions on your screen.

Here you have the 1.66 NLD stock ROM and yes, flashing over SD will remove HSPL.

Hi,

I was wondering if nvflash can be used to do a full/complete backup image of a Gtab, and then a full restore.

I've seen threads on using it for restore from existing images, but, to do thebackup, do I just use nvflash to pull all the partitions?

Thanks,

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghmacdonald:
Help - I have been trying to get back to the stock rom load ever since I used the update.zap to get 2.2.1. I have trouble getting my XP system to see the Epic in download mode. Well today it saw it so I tried using the software in Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip. It failed once and then it looked like it worked (I think) but when I tried to power it up I got phone symbol connected to symbol with a ! in it connected to a symbol of a pc. Now I get the message on the pc that the device is not recognized.

Where do I go from here??????

If I can ever get the PC to see the phone, what files do I need to fix it.

Thanks for any help

George MacDonald
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koadic:
Ok, am assuming you have the following...

SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5

20100512.pit (I have never used the 528.pit file to flash DI18 back on to the phone, only the 512.pit file, which is why I listed it here)

I am going to assume the newer v1.61 of Odin which you have will work ok with the above pit file, but it is only an assumption.

(Listing all steps just for the sake of having it all together, not trying to imply you were doing anything incorrectly)

Pull the battery from your phone and restart your computer. When it is all booted up, start odin and load the .tar.md5 (PDA section) and .pit (the PIT section) files into their respective places. Also make sure that only 'Reboot' is checked.

Next, insert the battery into your phone and boot into download mode (keyboard '1' + the 'Power' button). After it has entered 'Download' mode, then connect your phone to the computer with the usb cable. You should now see a COM port in Odin, if you dont, you need to try a different USB cable or port and try again until you do. If you have exhausted your available options with possible USB cables/ports, you may want to try uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers and trying again (if somehow you installed kies, I recall reading that at least one other person had an issue with it being installed, so try uninstalling that too).

As soon as your phone is recognized by Odin, hit the Start button and wait for it to finish. If it fails, pull the battery of your phone, close Odin, restart phone and Odin, and try, try again (following the same steps as above).

Addition: If your still having issues getting your device recognized, you can try 'uninstalling' the Epic or any 'Unknown Hardware' (have to make sure the phone is connected to do this) from the Device Manager in Windows, just make sure you also click the box to 'Delete the driver software for this device' if possible. When you have removed the Epic from the Device Manager, unplug your phone, reinstall the drivers, then plug your phone back in to see if it loads the correct drivers and recognizes it. When in download mode, the items in the Device Manager will be 'Modems->SAMSUNG Mobile Modem' and 'Universal Serial Bus controllers->SAMSUNG USB Composite Device'

Good News

Well finally some good news. I got it to work this morning. Went back and redownloaded all the files. Uninstalled the drivers on my computer. Borrowed the cable from my wife's Samsung. Put the original battery back in my Epic. Then I tried again. Work just like I was told it should.

I think that the two I had used before are bad. It looked like it would try to start and then the connection would be broken.

Now all I have to do is rebuild the system (the dumps I had taken are missing things like email accounts.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izmar:
I'm on AT&T, which usually has pretty fast 3G speeds.

I've noticed that when I'm tethering, if I download a file on my computer, or watch a video online, it will load for about 5 seconds at great speeds, 100kbps or so. However, after those initial 5 seconds, the speeds will slow down to 10-20kbps.

I've found that if I refresh a small page on my phone while tethering, like the google search android home page, the speeds will increase if I continue to refresh.

Somehow initiating new data transfer "slaps" my connection, and increases it shortly!

Can anyone explain this?

It's quite annoying to have to keep refreshing a web page on my phone to get some reasonable download speeds..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan1431:
When I am xfering DATA while tethering generally speed are in excess of 200kbps.

I have not experienced any throtteling going on, but on occasion the site that I am connected too is overload and my speeds drastically decrease.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Very strange. ATT does not do any throttling that anyone has heard of so far anywhere on the web.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izmar:
That's what I thought too. So I am thinking it may not be an AT&T problem.

I've noticed also that when I am loading a page while tethering, if the page is taking forever to load because of slow speeds, I just have to unlock the phone and play with the screen for a second then the connection will jump back up.

It's like the tethering is going to sleep when the screen turns off...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houzuoguo:
When your screen is off, your wifi will enter a low-power mode no matter how you set "Wifi Sleep Policy".

You can verify this by ping from your laptop to your phone, you'll see that the latency greately increases when phone's screen is turned off.

So you have to keep your phone's screen on if you want full speed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izmar:
Thanks.

I can't seem to find the option that allows me to keep the screen on when charging though, do you know where it is?

As CES nears i began to thing about what phone will i upgrade to. I am using a Droid Eris with 2.2 right now and its becoming out of date. So like many of you I have been to look at upgrades and what I want to get. Then I thought.....do you have to root your android to enjoy it? I know you can wait for new software, but it seems that the hardware is moving aso quick that your phone will be "out of date" within a few months if you don't root it. EOL for the Eris was Mayish of 2010....not a long life for a phone that was released in November of 09. So I have looked elsewhere. I am looking for Verizon to show a WP7 device at CES and the iPhone to follow after that. What are you thoughts? Do you need to root your phone to enjoy it? Do you feel that Android is the "rebel" of the Smartphone world?

i had a Nexus One and EVO prior to getting my DroidX. which is very unfriendly towards custom roms and other hacking fun.

needless to say i miss the Nexus and EVO immensely, half the fun for me was flashing custom roms and tinkering with stuff.
[General Topics] 56K:
I agree it is fun messing with the Eris, but then i thought, what if my next phone I don't want to hassle with flashing roms, fixing things, and what not. Also My biggest issue with the software is not the software at all, its the app developers. It seems like it is 100% iOS4 first, Android second. I also like the intergration of Xbox Life with WP7.
[General Topics] mxcoldhit:
My thought is this. You must root your phone if your a phone junky. Other wise we would all get bored quickly. There isn't enough high quality apps to keep me from rooting and changing things on the phone. Also I feel like I need to change phones at least once a year or I'm not happy lol.

[General Topics] 56K:
No beef with rooting at all, but that is my point, do you have to root to enjoy your android? I know it ipens options but the developers from the big apps are slow to the android game.....
[General Topics] bnrbranding:
I don't think you have to root to enjoy a device, but for me, it allows me to enjoy it more. Why wouldn't you root? I like trying out different ROMs and tinkering with stuff and overclocking. Apps are fine, but those are only part of the fun for me.
[General Topics] 56K:
That's my point i guess. I'm an app guy, i like apps, want the latest apps, and U just don't feel i can get that with Android.

The Xbox Live integration looks really nice so again when the verizon WP7 comes out I may look at it.

Something that has bothered me is the fragmentation of the Android OS. There are some devices, that are not that old running 1.5 and 1.6, some on 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.....you get my drift.
[General Topics] TheBiles:
How does the fragmentation bother you if you're rooted? Any device with a decent community will have the latest OS.
[General Topics] 56K:
I agree but it seems that the Android devices are so spread out that it gives the developers hell. For example look at Angry Birds. They are developing 2 versions for "one" OS.
[General Topics] Akulamenuri:
(Wall of text approaches)

About Rooting:

I don't have to be rooted but I definitely enjoy the phone more because I am. I don't have to pay additional tethering fees to my carrier because rooting allows me to do this for free. I don't have to wait for carriers to send an OTA of the next version of Android because my rooted phone allows me to upload ROMs made by the awesome devs we have here at XDA.

About Apps:

Android's marketshare is rising exponentially. I am definitely seeing more application development for the platform and a lot of popular iPhone apps being ported over as well. I admit that Android's Marketplace isn't as intuitive as the App Store but it is getting better. I recommend checking out Appbrain if you want a better market experience on Android.

About Fragmentation:

Its openness is a double-edged sword in my opinion. Openness allows a multitude of different products to be running your OS but it also causes fragmentation because of all the skins manufactures choose to run on top of it. Take a look at the Motorola Droid, it runs Stock Android and it received Eclair and Froyo relatively fast because of it. Now take the Galaxy S series running a Touchwiz version of Android, all of these devices were released this year and have none have received Froyo when the Motorola Droid was released last year and does have Froyo. 95% of typical android users probably don't know what version of Android they are running anyway so it could be that manufactures aren't putting it as high priority because their customers don't care. 2.2 to 2.3 isn't a very big leap outside of aesthetics.
[General Topics] 56K:
Good post. I only started this thread to get some good conversation.. I am not against rooting, against Android, against iOS, or WP7. I just like to keep my options open.
[General Topics] vetvito:
^ we understand.

The fragmentation argument is nonsense. Any good developer will tell you its no different than developing for a PC. With a PC you have a infinite amount of hardware combinations same as Android.

[Desire General] godutch:
It remains a personal choice but if you are doubting between the two why not choose the nexus s, it does seem to have a flash (one of the big minuses of the galaxy s for me)
[Desire General] stats101:
After being familair with both devices, I'd opt for the Galqaxy S. It's build quality is inferior compared to the Desire (although you do get over that quite quickly), but with ample internal memory, it heavily overshadows the desire.
[Desire General] kay.one:
I originally got Galaxy S phone. and now have a desire.

let me tell you this. if you use your GPS avoid galaxy S. the GPS doesn't work. it might be able to lock on your location when you are standing still after a few minutes. but start driving around and all of the sudden you are jumping from street to street.

also. Galaxy S doesn't have anything near the size of the dev community that desire has. it all might change since its very close to nexus s. but at the time there were no AOSP roms for it available so you were stuck with roms based on samsung's original rom.

I pretty much like every aspect of the desire better than the galaxy phone except the screen. even then desire has a pretty nice screen on its own.
[Desire General] junooni.1980:

[Desire General] sterothery:

They are essentially the same phone so it comes down to the quality of the hardware and the desire wins by a clear mile. Desire for me.
