[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leenypost:
You can just flash the updated rooted OTA if you wish. You will have the same thing as everyone else that way, just not the radio and 4g and pri update that comes with it....

Unless you flash sprint lovers version (the all in one)

I personally have a launch day hw003 EVO and I was also already rooted via unrevoked. Unrevoked made an update to their unrevokedforever.zip that now supports the newest radio that comes with 3.70 so what I did was this

Download and flashed newest unrevokedforever.zip

used 3.29 RUU to revert phone back to stock but S-Off stayed on because of unrevoked forever

Accepted OTA update which updated my hboot to 2.10 as well as updated all my radios safely..

Then I insalled the custome version of Amon-Ra recovery meant to work with hboot 2.10

flashed the 3.70 base rom of my choice

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftgg99:
I have installed a light version of Revolution HD rom and am not overclocking past defaults.

I do however want to undervolt. ATM ive set screen off profile to max out at 600 - what can i do do undervolt?

Can i keep the rom but flash a different kernel? If so, which one?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesBarnes:
The kernal that rom uses is already undervolted, so you dont really need to unless you want to try and squeeze it as absolutely low as your handset will allow.

Hmm, i was under the impression that lower freqs were undervolted and as it approaches 1.2Ghz the voltage approaches the highest value of stock voltage.

The only way i can think of is copy the music file to the computer to the ipod, dont think you can send file bluetooth or maybe email as an attachment or use download app and save directly to the ipod however u may need to jailbreak to view the file..

[Streak 5 General] SoberGuy:
With the price drop, I'm seriously tempted to order one. I played with one at Best Buy for a few minutes (literally maybe 2) and I did like what I saw. That said, I have a few questions...

I think my primary device will remain my N1. I see it as a bit more portable. The Streak will certainly get some regular use when I need a little more size, once I get a good BT, that is.

At any rate, my questions are:

Does the Streak still suffer from large borders around most apps? I think most of this is probably dependent on the app, and the developer making it work for various sizes and resolutions. I know it was a decent complaint upon initial reviews. How's it look now?

I've read a lot of complaints about the 2.2 update. Is it better? Is it stable? Is it better to flash something like DJ Steve's (I think that's the name) or some other custom ROM?

How's the audio performance? Let's split this into three sections. First, audio on phone calls. Decent noise cancellation? Decent incoming sound? Any complaints from those you chat with?

Second on audio, how's the speaker? The N1 has a huge shortcoming there, in my ever so humble opinion. For speakerphone and audio from music/videos, the speaker on the N1 sucks. How's the Streak's?

Audio out and bluetooth audio. I listen to a lot of music at work, and I plug my N1 into my car stereo quite frequently. I can't imagine any issues here, but it's a prime function for me, so I want to sure I won't have any issues.

Video performance. Decent GPU? I don't do a lot of videos, but I can see myself doing more with the Streak. Additionally, I take my son on some road trips, and I definitely foresee him watching movies and playing games while on the road. Most trips are about an hour and a half, up to two hours. He sleeps in the car less and less as he gets older, so I see huge potential here. The N1 GPU isn't that great, sadly.

I've tried to read most of these threads, and I know the vast majority of you are very happy with your Streaks. I'm seriously tempted to pick one up. I also plan on getting whatever dual core comes to AT&T, so the Streak is basically just a bonus. I may hold out for a 7". Pretty torn, but that $400 price point is right up my alley and pretty hard to turn down.

Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
The new ones would be worth less than the old ones because it's worth less (they've spoiled it)

[Streak 5 General] Mobs69:
I said the same thing about my iPhone 3GS. But in the 10 days I have had my Streak, I have not even considered turning the iPhone back on.
[Streak 5 General] SoberGuy:
Thanks.

Any info on the questions? I've gathered that the vast majority of people here really like the Streak.
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
Every app I've used so far takes up the entire screen. Some pics in apps don't; TMZ is the one that comes to mind. Other than that it uses the entire real estate for me.

2.2 is very stable for me. The stock UI is pretty worthless so I'm running ADW.Launcher. I cannot speak for custom Streak ROMs; haven't tried any of them yet. Nor have I had desire to.

Phone calls via the handset are flawless for me.

I usually turn on the speakerphone only when I'm on hold waiting for the next available coordinator. It's pretty much like any other phone I've used. Sound is decent. I haven't listened to any music but I have watched a movie or two and it's not theater sound but it works. I have a Otterbox Defender case that might interfere with the sounds but I have no complaints.

I have a Parrot in my truck that I use for calls and the bluetooth sound for phone calls is great. No complaints at all. I haven't paired my Plantronics 590 headphones with it yet so I can't speak for music over bluetooth yet.

I watched Iron Man 2 on my Streak end-to-end and it was flawless. I was using my Denon headphones for sounds.

Now all that said, my ONLY complaints about the Streak are the battery life and trying to find a car charger that works unmodified. Battery life is to be expected the way I use it. Wifi, 3G, Bluetooth, all on 24x7. But the car charger thing miffs me. I bought a 1000mA USB charger but the Streak will not recognize/charge with it. I've read where you have to solder pins together to work. WTF?

My 2-cents.

Dude, thanks for the detail! Will have to look into the car charger issue.

[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
I just ordered the unlocked Streak today and they offer this bluetooth headset for 99 cents when you buy.

I don't know how good it is but for 99 cents I figured it was worth it. I have bluetooth built in on my vehicle radio, but will probably use a headset more with the Streak.

BTW - thanks for starting this thread to to those who responded, it's been informative.
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
The charger issue appears to be common with many of the newer phones. I know there are a lot of posts about this same issue in the Motorola owners forums. From what i have read the mod to a cigarette lighter to USB adapter is pretty easy.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secgeek:
Not sure if other users have seen this, but I found something interesting last night...

Since assurion screwed me and replaced my stolen amoled with slcd my options were somewhat limited in ROM selection. Skyraider was my goto previously.

I have been using Jaeger since my replacement got here about a month ago, and consistently have been having signal/radio issues. Data would randomly stop working, airplane mode would not work to recover, no signal at my desk, etc.. Battery poppin was a standard.

Last night I installed INCRom, and while the transitions & keyboard are driving me nuts the ROM itself is super fast, feels like a new phone. The reason for the post is, for the first time since I got the phone I have been able to wifi tether for longer then 4 mins without Data being disconnected. I was intermittently receiving e-mails in the train and full signal at my desk. I'm wondering if this somehow related to the ROM? Obviously no scientific testing has been done.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgourd:
Ya, this problem has been poppin up where 3G would just drop out. If you really like Jaeger, then try this fix. It might help, but I haven't personally tried it out.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
First of all, if you've been reading around, you know you can't "trust" the first 10% because of the way the EVO charges.

Depending on where you are in the charge/discharge cycle, you really could be anywhere between 100% and 91%
[Blade General] russellc1:
I have had the ZTE Blade for about a month now and I have noticed that sometimes it can become a bit slow and laggy but with the use of some free apps from the market I was able to help speed up the Blade's performance without much effort.

Advanced Task Killer

Launch the app > Press "menu" button > Go to settings > Change "Auto Kill Level" to "Safe" also change "Auto Kill Frequency to "When screen off"

AutoStart Killer

Disable all apps you don't need to start up when the phone boots

Launcher Pro

Make sure Launcher Pro is the default launcher. I recommend that you only have 3 homescreens with minimal use of widgets. i have found that keeping the default settings improves performance.

Zeam

I found that LauncherPro and Zeam are similar in performance but they are both great launcher replacements.

Titanium Backup

Only needed if you are using a stock rom or one with a lot of apps you don't use or want. Remove any Orange or ZTE apps you don't use to free up space on the phone's internal memory.
[Blade General] Jalfrezi:
Cheers for the info

ive been using TB to remove apps or old apps works well and seems to speed things up

ive also been using cache cleaner and rebooting (which i hope helps keep things running a little better)

Cheers

[Blade General] AtomicKoala:
Isnt Advanced Task Killer supposed to be evil? ;)
[Blade General] ashleypride:
You don't ever need a autokiller. Use auto-starts, and don't install crap apps!
[Blade General] gusthy:
If you want to change home launcher in order to optimize performance, Zeam is the best choice. It has a very low footprint (and a very handy home screen, btw.).
[Blade General] Eris Ed:
There's no way a task killer is going anywhere near my phone......
[Blade General] Gryph0nic:
Agreed - Zeam seems to be a bit smoother than launcher pro on the stock rom. On 2.2 theres very little difference between them. Personally i prefer ADW - although pretty much the only thing it has over Launcher Pro is the ability to set three columns instead of four in the app drawer. (sad i know)

The best optimization is to get 2.2 on there :)
[Blade General] rolfey:
I've not tried out zeam yet, but running Launcher pro on 2.2, with memory settings set to 10, and caching enabled, I find it hard to believe that much it going to beat it, mine is liquid smooth on the home screen.

Mike
[Blade General] rolfey:
I've just tried out Zeam, and actually I was suprised at how smooth it is, not quite a smooth going into the appdraw, but really quite good :)

Mike
[Blade General] linkinpark4175:
Wait till Launcher Pro get its rewrite, then we will see who is smoother ;)
[Blade General] targetbsp:
You shouldn't use an auto task killer. Autostarts is a better bet to prevent stuff you don't want starting the first place. And Watchdog if the reason you're wanting to kill stuff is that they're going wrong.

Zeam is faster than LauncherPro imo. It's just a shame it doesn't have the option to hide apps in the app drawer.
[Blade General] twistedvegan:
faster blade

use adw launcher it is the best homescreen by miles, once you get used to it all others will seem pointless, stick to a minimal amount of widgets and a max of 3 screens.

a good task manager I've found is task panel x. it gives you a widget for your homescreen with a kill all button and has ignore and autokill options to keep things running smoothly

avoid live wallpapers like the plague, try using something like wallswitch instead to auto change your wallpapers. there are loads of apps to get nice wallpapers and most of them look miles better than the gimmicky live wallpapers anyway.

I have spent hours trying out every widget and app out there and can highly recommend the following...

My current widgets

countdown timer widget,

mort player music widget,

sticky pad pro widget (totally customizable and great for shopping lists)

guage battery widget

jorte calander

wifi manager

task panel

widgetsoid

digital clock widget

favourite apps

angry birds

system panel light (best looking task manager by far)

app brain (better than the market)

chrome to phone

daily horoscope

ezpdf reader (has night mode)

laputa (excellent free ebook reader)

myplayer (old version still works)

Slideit keyboard (like swype but much better)

uk tv droid (excellent tv guide with reminders)

Uloops studio (THIS ROCKS, BEST ANDROID APP EVER)

wall switch

if anybody knows of any better alternatives to these I would love to hear about them.

what to kill though

hi,

I have had my blade for about a month now, and it is my first Android.

this thread is just what I am needing right now to try and optimize it

and get better battery life for use on my golf course with Freecaddie.

currently I am using 2 apps: Advanced Task Killer (the little green man icon) and 'Quick Settings'

and have set phone to 2G, with Auto sync and Background Data disabled.

I fancy trying Titanium Backup and Autostart Killer as mentioned earlier

but have not the faintest idea as to what Apps to backup, nor which to Autokill.

I actually only need my Blade for basic phone usage, as a Satnav, and for Golfing.

if anyone can advise me what to 'kill' I would be very greatful.

a great forum this, and a Happy New Year to all.

Kevin
[Blade General] carkev:
I have now installed Autostart Killer and quite like it,

but Titanium Backup seems to be for rooted phones only and mine is not rooted.

is there a similar app to Titanium Backup for non rooted phones ?

thanks,

[Blade General] olyloh6696:
Yeh, I'm kind of in a dilema whether to use advanced task killer or not..

can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Blade General] stylez:
Add to whitelist anything you want to keep open it doesn't display core processes anyway so can't go wrong.

There's an ilogic in the logic as far as android is concerned apparently there is no need for taskillers due to androids own task manager, happen to disagree as any process increases battery also many programs use net in background to which again uses battery, the argument you will find is in the clock we use to clear "doesn't need to be done every minute" also another app worth getting if rooted is Droid wall a firewall very handy to stop program communications..
[Blade General] carkev:
Launchers

I wholeheartedly agree with 'Twistedvegan' that the ADW Launcher is the best.

amongst it's many good points are the ability to change the 3 main launcher icons,

and to customomize what you add to each screen. (eg: I have just icons with no text for my main apps)

and I have tried all the most popular launchers
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] strykme:
I currently have x10 mini pro and thinking of getting x10 mini (do not use the keyboard much). Is it possible with the install of xRecovery to flash the backup from mini pro to the mini?

Also, is x10 mini back rubberized as in x10 mini pro?

Thank you

Thus, I'd recommend Titanium Backup.

[Galaxy Tab General] BryanForbes:
I've searched this forum for answers, but I wasn't able to find one for my particular situation. I have an AT&T Galaxy Tab that I would like to use as a wifi hotspot (wifi tethering, or whatever you want to call it). I do not want to tether this to another device that is running as a hotspot; I want the Tab to be the hotspot as this is the only device I own that can do this. I believe (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that I need to root it and install a different wpa_supplicant module to be able to set up the hotspot mode. I looked at installing z4root, but AT&T has disabled downloading that via the Market and also from running non-Market apps from the device (I tried putting z4root on the device via USB mass storage mode and running it with Astro file manager). Next, I tried using SuperOneClick by installing Mono for OSX (yes, I use a Mac) and running SOC from the command line using sudo, however "rageagainstthecage" failed to run and the process failed. I've searched for more information on the forums and I can't find anything so I'm asking for help getting the tab working as a hotspot. If I've made a mistake in my understanding, feel free to correct me. I don't own a Windows machine, so that's not an option for me. I have a Linux machine, however I'd really like to get this working on OSX as several of my friends and colleagues are in the same situation as me and only have OSX. Thanks in advance!
