[G2 and Desire Z General] sev:
Is there anything I can do to allow the phone to be in HSPA more often? My fiancee has a Mytouch 4g and I have the G2, her phone is almost always in HSPA and mine seems to always be in Edge, even when we are next to eachother. Is this a known issue???
[G2 and Desire Z General] nikon1b4:
Try this *#*#INFO#*#* this is the phone testing option. Try turning radio off and on and set it to wcdma preferred that could get you bettter speed . Also give us more info. Are yo rooted? Which radio are you using stuff like that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sev:
Thanks for the quick response, I'm running 100% stock tmobile rom.

The *#*#info#*#* says wcdma preferred. Not sure what radio Im running, could you guide me on how I can tell?

Seperate issue but the bluetooth on this phone is HORRIBLE!!!! Everyone always complains that they have a bad echo/cant hear me/it is crackly. Ive tried a jawbone 2 and a jabra bt-350. The jawbone is marginally better than the jabra but really the bluetooth is unusable!
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
My phone is on EDGE 100% of the time!

/Live in Montana and use a local CellOne provider...
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
Forget "preferred"... set it to wcdma ONLY, but it will NEVER connect to EDGE.... but sorry, you can't have it both ways.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
I don't know anything about the MT4G, so I'm jyst guessing here. But is it really in HSPA or is it just reporting that wrongly ?

You can always try flashing a different radio (see the radio thread in the dev forum) to see if that improves your reception.

I presume your phone has the right hardware bands for your carrier, i.e. you're not trying to use a G2 on, say, AT&T, which will stay on Edge at best because the phone doesn't have the right hardware radio bands to do 3G.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James.q:
Hi,

I've been recently playing some Dungeon Defenders on my SGS and well it is still sort of choppy when under stress. What bugs me is the fact that some people (with the same phone) claim to be having a clear lag-less game experience.

I've tried to switch ROMs and went from 2.1 stock eclair, trough 2.2.1 stock EU to latest Darkys 8.0 (with voodoo enabled). I have to say that there was some improvment, but it still has a long way to go.

Now, as Im looking for better gaming experience, I would like to ask if there is better ROM (not that I wouldn't be satisfied with this one though :)) gaming-wise.

I also noticed, when running Quadrant Advanced (now getting 1350-1650 which is wierd. I mean 300 difference between two runs ??) that my CPU was, at the time, running at 400MHz with minimum frequency set as low as 100MHz, which seems ridiculous to me. I mean I know that CPU frequency changes in accordance with how much stress are we putting on it, but isn't it possible that even under stress my CPU runs "slower" ?

I would love to somehow improve my phone but as I already have voodoo in place, the only way to do so would be to overclock CPU right ? Or am I missing some other way to improve my phone ?

If Im not, than how safe is the overclocking ?

what would you suggest ?

Thanks everyone for your answers !!!

btw, Im sorry if I misplaced this message !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freakfingers12:
Uhmm, I can't advice you about the lag. I don't find it choppy playing Dungeon Defenders. Everything is smooth sailing. But it is safe to overclock. There might or might not be stability issues with your phone. Every phone varies. Like mine, I could get max OC to 1.3GHZ and then the phone freezes but I have friends who can OC to 1.6GHZ.

I don't recommend you to overclock though, I have some freezes in game (gameloft games especially) when OCed to 1.2GHZ.

hi :) I found this version on the site:

voodoo.advanced.v69-20101223-19.49.tar

I have a product code of BMC (Bell Canada) with JL2 installed.

I have a few questions that going through the official thread didn't asnwer fully or maybe I missed it.

Will this let me use unsigned zips?

Can I revert back to my regular zImage (stock)?

What do I gain/lose if I switch to this kernal?

I appreciate all your efforts :)

On a side note I <3 darky's rom but is there a way to install it with a product code of BMC rather than XEE?

I don't want to mess up my IMEI or nv_data.bin. I backed them up just in case however.

Thanks!

I rooted my vibrant galaxy s. Now what all can I do and whats the best things to use?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethal_NFS:
You will want to read the stickies first and learn everything you can about how to flash your phone. What apps you need and such.

1. OCLF

2. Root Explorer

3. Superuser (Rom Manager)

4. Clockwork mod

5. Titanium Backup

Those are must haves for me.

Look for threads that start with [ROM]. Those are custom modded firmwares for you phone. I personally like the latest AXURA 2.2.5.9 the best. Most of the threads will have instructions on how to install the rom. Always create a backup of your current rom before flashing.

Somebody know how to cook a nand rom for HTC HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maff1989:
This stuff is no cakewalk man.. I haven't even tried coding/programming/cooking because it's WAY too much to get into.. But that's me. If you really have the dedication to learn, you should consider htc-linux-chat or whatever the IRC channel is.. That's where the dev's (michyprima, MDJ, gauner1986, etc) go to exchange information regarding cooking ROM's for the HD2. Or just ask a developer yourself. Maybe a PM? Quite possibly, a google search could point you in the right direction... Well I hope this helps. Good luck :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] michael9196:
i do not know how to cook; but i know that you surely have to know how Linux works for cooking a rom; and be good at math for the codes ( i think); this guys have studied computer sciene or programming (i dont know what you really need) or have a pretty good mentor.

FWIW, my wife's myTouch 3G got an OTA update from v1.6 to v2.2 in Dec. 2010 from T-Mobile (after they've been promising updates "just next month" since Feb. 2010 ^_^ )

Hopefully the 2.2 update for the myTouch 3G Slide isn't too far behind... then many apps should be able to partly migrate to SD automagically.

Of course, I have CM 6.1.1 (based on Android v2.2.1) on my 3G Slide and still run out of space even with most of the apps on SD. Next update I'll try to repartition the internal storage using customMTD to reallocate maybe another 50-100 MB from /system to /data , which is probably a better solution for the brave/crazy.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] KCRic:
Umm, why aren't you guys using a2sd (ext)? You'll never run out of space that way, plus it mounts the partition on boot and moves the entire app not just 1/2 of it to the sdcard.

Are you just not rooted or in refusal to root? It's your choice but there's nothing that can be done otherwise. Check my signature for the link to acejoker25000's thread about darktremor's a2sd package.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Ready to ROM but first a few questions please.

I think I know what I am doing had a N1 before some @!!@ walked off with it.

I am rooted, thanks to XDA

I am going to use Titanium backup to back up my Apps

Use ROM Manager to back up my current OEM Rom the flash new ROMs

Coming from N1 I ran nothing but Cyanogenmod and I loved them they were clean and very stable. Looking in the ROM section I do not see Cyanogenmods?

I want a ROM that is really clean, fast and completely unbranded. I mean when it powers up I want no AT&T logo or Rogers log for the matter.

My current Rogers ROM has little bloatware but I get the feeling some of the ROMs here may have AT&T junk.

Any recommendations on a ROM that I would be happy with? Stable, clean and completely unbranded?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabamaroping:
Clean Roms

Well, the original boot will have the white AT&T screen for just a moment on all ROMs that I've seen.

Other than that, ALL custom ROMs get rid of AT&T bloatware and unlock potential of your phone. Most work well with most phones.

A few additional steps you want to take before going further... know your make number (1008, 1009, 1010, etc). You need to know you can flash back to stock using Odin in some form, shape and/or fashion in the event it all goes to hell.

You need to know if you can boot into download mode using the button combinations included in the threads. If not, you need to be sure to get the right ODIN package that will enable you to do so. If you don't, if you get hung, you're really hung.

As far as recommending a ROM, I personally prefer AdamHolden's ROM's. I think he does good work. He is currently working on the PHOENIX ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892973

DesignGears also does very stable ROMs (Cognition and Perception). My first ROM I ever flashed was his cognition ROM, and it clued me into the true potential of the phone and of custom ROMs.

[Touch Cruise Android Development] Lord Meshadieme:
First of all i would like to thank all the devs who spent alot of time and effort in developing android for us.

Down to business i finally got time to spend trying out android, im using haret method and i know its not as fast and complete way of using android, but im just gonna do this to provide feedback.

Alright heres my setup,

Using Atool

Polaris, 320x240 panel 1 (pola 100), no vibrate on boot, sd system, sd data. made the default.txt.

2.6.32_zImage-11-29-10-liquid-latest

androidinstall.tgz from Super Froyo release 16

androidupdate.tgz from androidhtc

Initrd from androidhtc

Installscript from atools, erase data and system, advance mode, install system, install update, fix permission, clear davik cache.

The install begins and never finishes, it keeps repeating infinitely around

INFO: task kadspd:17 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

and alot of other memory address related stuff

i did check this thread, but after a few pages i didnt see a solution there

Kaspsd:17

after some testing i think it was the initrd because i changed it dzo's last initrd from dzo and it worked. could this have to do with my sd card being class 2.

I hope this can help you guys. I'll post further results when i get more testing done.

Update:

Ok it seem, the loop is not within the install script, but the boot up process although i saw it say "Install module for this kernel", why is it installing again when the last script is still disabled?

Btw, this occurred when i tried replacing the initrd back again after the install was successful using dzo's initrd.

Dzo's initrd was causing a weird issue on wake up, the lock screen, was inverted like in a mirror. wth?

Regards,

Lord Meshadieme
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
waiting for more detailed results...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Lord Meshadieme:
Um, can you be more specific im not very linux oriented.

Lets see, here's the steps, starting trying to do a fresh install which basically succeeded (this is using your kernel and initrd), but concurrently its stuck booting. BTW why does the booting process have a line saying "Install modules for this kernel" so here's the dmesg from the successful install. no bootlog since it never completes booting in the loop..

It does boot using dzo's initrd, although quite buggy, (the bootlog below is from that successful boot using dzo's initrd) i'm gonna try it again and see what works and what doesn't. anything specific you want me to check?

Update:

So far testing shows BT turning on, haven't testing file transfer or headset.

Turning on Wifi freezes the phone, already applied the androidupdate..

Calling works GSM.

Battery is showing incorrect value, there's a fix for it somewhere right? i'll search for it.

Waking up from sleep does that weird inverted screen for like a second then it goes to normal. (it is literally like a mirror, text is even flipped)

USB Mass Storage, is connecting but the drive does not show up in windows.

can't test market without internet, not sure how to use internet through usb yet.

no gprs/edge/3g to test right now.

Camera, is weird i was able to take a picture but it was a dark shade of green... but now i cant the app hangs.

cant test gps since the default map tool asks for internet too.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
I think you did a really mess!!

what you call "kadspd error" is when kernel kill a script due to long time execution (you probably wait too long). The action is the message "install modules!!!!".

Please next time pay more attention!

Follow all the steps

in atools guide. You forget to mix the rom with the module update!!!!

BTW install MY kernel, and apply update before the first boot.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Technomancer:
Hi guys,

Compiled Cyanogen 6 from sources:

All right folks, everything is now part of CMSGS project. See http://cmsgs.com and http://github.com/cmsgs

Use build instructions from http://cmsgs.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Building_from_Source

Before building apply local patches from device/samsung/galaxytab/patches

After building use tools from device/samsung/galaxytab/tools to build kernel and build factoryfs.ext4 from system.img, read the readme files

Thanks to Deodexed, who provided his hosting, we now have public beta

Only for people with GSM tabs who know how to use adb and heimdall

If you dont know how to backup and restore your tab don't try it!

Grab: http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Technomancer/cm6beta.zip

Read the readme file and have fun ;-)

The Tab should be partitioned with P1_add_hidden like for JJ4 or later ROMs.

If anyone wants to use Odin, rename factoryfs.ext4 to factoryfs.rfs and tar all rfs files and zImage and Odin should be able to flash it too.

Status:

What works

Phone calls, data

Wifi

Bluetooth Keyboard

GPS

Buttons backlight - linked to LCD backlight

Sensors:

- BMA020/BMA150 Accelerometer

- AK8973B

What doesn't

Camera

Sensors:

- BH1721FVC light sensor

- L3G4200D gyro

- Some are probably screwed up because of hwrotation = 90

Bluetooth Audio

Issues and workarounds

* Stuck on CM boot ani after flash

Probably / data is not mounted.

run "adb shell mount"

it will show list of mounted partitions, if /data is not mounted to /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 as rfs, format the /data partiton.

To do that "adb reboot recovery". "adb shell" when in recovery, "parted /dev/block/mmcblk0", initialize/format partition 2 to fat32 using "mkfs 2 fat32"

* BT doesnt start

Try again

Try rebooting

If that doesnt help try "adb shell stop hciattach" Sometimes hciattach service gets stuck when starting. I have added code to stop it automatically.

Latest fixes:

2011-01-20

Replaced lights with my own built from source

The linking of backlight and button light is now done in lights module instead of java LightsService

Replace copybit and s3cjpeg modules with ones from noobnl's samsung/common

2011-01-19

2011-01-17

Fix p1_keyboard.kl, remove key codes unsupported in CM. add left and right alt.

Fixed exec flags on recovery executables

2011-01-16
