Yeah, I don't mean to swing on the G2's bozac but it's been pretty solid in all capacities for me.

You may very well have gotten a faulty unit. Try swapping it out for a new one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] user1307:
Hi all, just got my G2 and ran quadrant got a score of 1550 but have some concerns. When it ran the graphics test, I notice it was only averaging 16 fps (except on the planet and moon, it got 60 fps). Also when I try to play a flash game (canabalt) it was extremely laggy and the only key that worked was space, flash videos worked fine.

From previous posts, it sounds like the GPU should be better than this. I haven't tried playing any android games but from others' experiences, is this typical or did I get a defective unit?

LMAO!!!!:D
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
I thought my desire z had horrible reception to. But then I was looking through the safety info for some reason, nd stumbled on a diagram showing the area where the antenna is. It runs along the bottom of the back. When you touch a antenna you loose a lot of reception, making this the lamest spot to put it, since most people hold there phone by the bottom generaly. I get two more bars just by changing how I hold it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] juanshop:
Maybe you where expecting too much about the phone, even though is a fact that is one of the most powerful phones on the market.

About signal, in my experience is subjetive, 90 percent of the time I get exelent signal regardless on how I hold the phone, I might loose one bar at most, but during the holidays I been having reception problems because the lines are so congested.

My only real problem with this phone is the hinge and then again is not that big of a problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yashodhan:
I love everything about my G2 - except for the flimsy Z-hinge, of course.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Did your hinge actually break yet? No? Than you can't actually call it flimsy can you? Flimsy looking, perhaps. An overblown "issue", absolutely.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScooterG:
If the screen part of the phone moves/rattles when you type on it, I'd call that a little flimsy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bigtrouble77:
Ha, exact same result for me- loose 1-2 bars instantly. Definitely need to change the way I'm holding as my palm rests in that area.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bigtrouble77:
I think I was having some bad behaving app slowing things down. Looks like the G2 GPU is faster than the Galaxy S:

http://androidmods.com/samsung-vibrant/g2-vs-samsung-vibrant-galaxy-s-gpu-benchmark-neocore/

I'm not sure why the quadrant gpu part is much choppier on the G2 than the Galaxy S (from reviews I've seen).
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
I'd call it defective. Mine does no such thing.

The tightness of the hinge in the open/close positions can be improved. But I consider that a seperate issue from structural integrity. The posts that hold the screen to the keyboard LOOK small and thin. But I don't think any owners have actually broken it from normal usage. Comments on the strength of the hinge seem to be mostly assumption based on appearance and nothing else.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ScooterG:
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Still love the phone though ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
The hinge is fine. It does move if you hold it upsidedown, but why would you really want too? The keyboard is very easy to use. I prefer the gingerbread keyboard or the voice dictation over swype...I hate swypos lol. I did give it a chance and i got up to roughly 25 wpm, but it was annoying for me, oh well.

Reception is based entirely on how you hold your phone and where you are located. ON the G1, the cell antena was near the top middle, in a place that is not often covered by your hand unless you purposely clasp it. Recetion on my G1 was rought 25% worse than my old motorola RIZR. The G2 is the same as my G1, unless I'm holding it by the bottom edge. The wifi antena runs along the top.

Comimg from a G1, the graphics blew me away. Sure, I might be overclocked to 1.5 Ghz, but the phone plays games like NOVA, NFS shift, Angry birds all perfectly. I have reckless racing and it performs just fine as well. Hell, I listen to music and text whenever I play a game like nova and I can't remember any lag at all...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
make sure you have 2.08 or higher radio, and HPSL/spl 2.10 or higher
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zvieraoriginal:
i have Radio 2.15 and HSPL 2.08 but i can't find newer HSPL and Android is still not working...i tried about 10 different Androids..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
I dont see what your problem is then, HPSL 2.08 is the newest.

Make sure your SD card is fully formatted fat32 and 32/64 kb cluster size before you put the android build onto it, and the sd card should be 4gb or more.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zvieraoriginal:
SD card is 8 GB with FAT32 and 32kbit...everything is ready and prepared so i don't understand why it doesn't work :(

for running android you need atleast class 4 card............

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zohaibshaheen:
i personally experienced this problem......................... then i search and found that minimum class 4 card is required.......after i bought a new class 4 card then android worked............

(i will suggest you to burrow a mirco sd card (class 4)from your friend and check whether android works or not ,,,if it works then you might need to buy a new class 4 card
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pakure:
Dude just wait for it to boot.it takes ten to fifteen minutes for first boot
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pakure:
And it is crap to say class four card is needed.just class two is more than enough
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
It is. It's not more on the class but on the make.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] masondoctorjt:
Agreed, what brand SD card are you using? I can confirm that both adata 8gb class 6 and sandisk 16gb class 2 work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Samdeath:
sandisk 8gb class 2 also work, thats what im using
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
Sorry, but this is the biggest nonsense i have heard about running android on hd2. In fact a lot of users report (including myself) running android on a class 2 solves the most issues. For me the key was to format the sdcard with the SDFormatter. Well, its all there in the sticky...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Complete and utter arse vomit!

I have/had Android running perfectly on 3 separate class 2 SD Cards. As mentioned above its about formatting your card CORRECTLY and also making sure you have correct windows rom/radio version.

To format your card use this and set it to FULL format with ERASE ON. Then also either be patient while the build created the data.img or place one there yourself in the "Android" folder to skip that part.

If you fail after this then your an idiot or your phone is gay.
[Legend General] esset:
Hi there my xda-friends!

Every since I updated my phone to Froyo (official) I've had two problems. I unrooted my phone before I updated to 2.2.

The first one is pretty strange. A friend of mine says that my phone sends him a text with about five minutes delay, which says that I have received the text he sent me. He also has a Legend with Froyo on it, but so does my sister, and she doesn't receive any texts from me (except the ones I sent her of course).

This can be solved by restarting my phone, but it begins sending "I've read your text now"-messages to my friend again after about a day. Both me and my friend have tried to remove our conversations and such, (oh, and I still see the sort-by-time bug with my texts, but I think that's because the messages-app doesn't sort my seconds, only minutes).

The other problem I have is that I can't receive calls after a random amount of days, and I can see that my mobile-internet is trying to connect, gets a connection and drops it after a few seconds, and repeats, seen by the internet-icon in the system-bar(?). Then I know something is wrong with my phone (this time, I wasn't able to receive calls).

But again, this can be resolved by restarting my phone, but that shouldn't be necessary, everything worked in 2.1!

I would like Not to factory reset my phone, if you guys have any tips I could try before I'm forced to trying force-resetting.
[Legend General] alexnikitchuk:
Starnge...

I think only wipe can help you
[Legend General] esset:
Alright. That's too bad. But now I've factory-reset it, and so far it feels a little snappier than before, and I got the new market-app with the green skin almost immediately, so maybe something was aching up :)

* UPDATE *

I'm now a proud owner of a Nexus S :D.

Went into my local Carphone Warehouse and from the minute i held it i knew i would buy it!

In my opinion it's positives over the Desire HD are:

- Speaker clarity and volume is 10x better

- Handset feels like a perfect size and weight (Desire HD was very big and heavy)

- The Super AMOLED screen is amazing!

- The camera takes photos and videos that i'm more than happy with :)

Using Odin V1.3

did you disable lagfix before you did this? If you didn't have lagfix then I would try to go to stock 2.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475

If you had lagfix, its a little more complicated and you may need to use Android SDK. Search for lagfix and flash and the information should pop up.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcghee1973:
just use the JI6 PDA file that you used..... dont add the 512.pit file to it in ODIN
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,

Temporary Solution...

Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone can use it but no downloading or anything. Try to downgrade to stock rom but not luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
I had the same problem and had to start over again with JFD and the 512 .pit file. Afterward i went to JI6 through KIES and then used Eugene's Froyo ROM with root and took it from there. I had a weird problem where my drive letters went from e and f, to g and h (that's what they are now). I also had a problem with the CW file on my SD card. I eventually had to move it to the phone in order to flash CW recovery. Flashed and am running Nero V3. Best ROM i've ever used!! Highly recommend.....

[Nook Color General] okmd:
I'm having the same issues as takef0cusin above, arriving in a slightly different way. I was properly registered on 1.0.0 and used auto nooter 2.12.15. That went fine and there were no problems, but I decided to upgrade to 1.0.1 after some Wifi dropping issues. So I decided to flash back the the clean stock ROM.

I did the re-image holding down the power button 8 times, then I did the "three button data reset". Everything

seemed

to go fine, but it still started with the Logic PD Zoom screen and it never gave me the opportunity to re-register. Owner and Account are listed as unavailable. I then tried again using the "Erase and Deregister Device" method. Same results.

The new icons from the rooting are there, which makes me wonder if I actually had a successful flash back. I tried to register with the Gmail icon. It let me put in my email username and password. I acts like it is going to work, starts to load my conversations, then returns to the NC Home screen. I also tried to go through YouTube, but after registering I get "There was a problem with the network [401]". The Wifi still works, it still gets me the news, but the weather won't load because it says it there's location available.

What do I try next? I'm afraid to do anything because of all the warnings to re-register the NC first thing after any of these upgrades.

Thanks and Happy Holidays, OKMD
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
I've been through all this twice now. The second time was exactly as you have described and all I did was to redo the 3 button data reset. I was then able to re-register it.
[Nook Color General] okmd:
Did it pop up to tell/ask you to register, or did you have to go looking somehow? Mine isn't asking and I don't know how to force it. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
If memory serves, after clearing data it comes up with screens where you select time zones, state, city, etc and then it asks for your user name and password. All this happens automatically after you do the 3 finger data reset.

[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Right now, the previous rage/Visionary rooting methods do *not* work with the latest 1.72 ROMs for the Desire Z.

UPDATE - If you have upgraded to 1.72 already without S-OFF, then a temp root has been achieved for 1.72, which gives you the capability to downgrade to an earlier ROM (e.g. 1.34) where you can permanent root. The "psneuter" procedure is at via this procedure - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261

UPDATE 2 - This "psneuter" procedure can be used to achieve permanent root. If you obtain S-OFF at an earlier ROM level, *then* update to 1.72, you can get permaroot with psneuter, then use the usual methods to lock this in as a permanent root. This is because the S-OFF means the NAND write protection will not be enabled. If you are already at 1.72 without S-OFF, you will have to downgrade, obtain S-OFF, then upgrade again.

This ROM version is being rolled out as an OTA update to European DZ users. So far it doesn't seem to have been rolled out to other DZ carriers, e.g. Bell, Vodafone, though I suspect that it is only a matter of time.

This update does not *yet* affect the G2 running the stock T-Mobile ROM, though again I suspect this update will make its way to the G2 in time (so you might wish to turn off automatic checks for updates if you want to avoid the possibility).

This is an example of what is in the warning thread at the top of the forum, i.e. don't upgrade to this until we know how you can root it, assuming you are interested in root (which I think most, though not all, people here are).
