Ya, if you get the Goldcard Helper app (note that Goldcard is actually one word), you can effectively skip steps 1 to 8 in this method:

[Can't post links yet. Just google "unlockr how to create gold card"]

And no need for ADB! You will still need a PC to use that Hex editor. Are you using a mac?

After you get a goldcard, doing the normal dowgrade to 1.5 and one click root works pretty good, and there are many guides to doing that around here and on other forums.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Hmm.. I had tried to use my brothers Nexus 1 T-Mo with my AT&T sim and I could only get Edge.

I could have sworn that the two networks are incompatible due to the internal modems and the bands that they are using like zelendel said before.

Otherwise I would've gotten my hands on a Nexus S :)

From what I remember reading AT&T uses three bands for data and T-mobile only uses one.
[EVO 4G General] bobng:
I just rooted my phone and want to remove the bloatware. Several posters recommend Titanium and to freeze the programs rather than uninstall. Doesn't this still leave them to eat up memory space?
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
Personally, I'd NAND and then uninstall, but that's me.
[EVO 4G General] skylar.sutton:
Memory and disk are not the same thing. Think about your computer at home... it has a disk where it stores files, and memory to keep track of which files/programs are being used at the moment.

"Freeze" will leave it on the disk but kill the app / stop it from running. It's a safe way of freeing up MEMORY but not DISK space. Uninstalling it will give you DISK space back... but your phone should have more than enough to spare.

(I know "disk" was the wrong term to use, it's "storage"... but sometimes it helps to think in the old terminology)
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
May be way off the mark here but I'm fairly sure that Android uses the disk space as memory allocation too.
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
Do a nand backup then start deleting stuff....if the phone goes haywire just nand restore.
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
I first freeze the app and leave lille that for a few days. Ifc nothing bass happens, then I uninstall it.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Even if you remove them, most of the "bloatware" is in your /system partition. The amount of space you have for installing apps and such is your /data partition. Simply removing an app from /system won't give you any more room in /data. You can, however, manually move apps (ideally ones that don't update often) into /system, making use of the space you've freed there and then in turn opening up more space in /data.

[G Tablet General] geomez:
I got a G Tablet for Christmas and there are three specks of dust under the glass! Oh so frustrating. I'm gonna exchange it (not looking forward to shipping fees and waiting;)) because it drives me crazy.

I'd hate for my replacement to have the same problem.
[G Tablet General] mcbooth:
I have the same problem, 2 decent sized pieces of dust under the glass. Since i'm in Australia I'm not about to ship it back to the US for a warranty replacement.

I will probably try to disassemble it and see if I can lean it myself. Pretty ordinary QA..

I replaced my first gtab because of dirt behind the screen. I opened the replacement in the store before I took it home, just to make sure.
[G Tablet General] Dakotah:
Dust under screen - Solution!

I had this issue come up after about 1 1/2 months, about 5-6 annoying white specs appeared between the touchscreen and the lcd panel. I really did not want to return yet another gTab (first one had bad power port) so I took a chance with some canned air. Being very careful not to allow any of the propellant inside, I removed the memory card and gave a couple of quick blasts of air into the memory slot and again in the usb port. Problem SOLVED! All of the dust specs under the screen disappeared and the display is once again flawless and clear. I suggest giving this a try before committing yourself to going through the return process.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] cr08:
I have been playing around with trying to get MS's Voice Command application fully operating on my Q9c and the last and only thing left is getting caller announcements working which seems to be a big issue all across the board.

Message announcement works just fine either from email or text message. But the incoming caller announcement does not. As the subject already states: I have done some investigating and I have yet to see the appropriate wav file produced under \Application Data\Volatile\ or the same folder under the Storage Card. Curious if anyone else has any idea on this? Any diagnostic logging that can be done? Under my own research I am simply at a dead end on where to go from here.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
Like to say put one of the new mobile dual core processors in it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
No
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Just to expand a little, the processor is not socketed here like it is on most desktops and laptops, so it's not as simple as dropping in a new one. I think it's actually a BGA soldered down on the board.

From a pure theoretical standpoint, if there is a pinout compatible processor in the same BGA form-factor, you could remove the existing processor (cover everything else on the PCB with kapton tape, heat it in a special oven, pop off the BGA, clean off the solder pads) and then solder the new one down (precisely align the chip, a task typically handled by a machine during assembly, and then bake it in the oven again). I actually have seen technicians successfully replace BGAs by hand before (using tweezers, soldering irons, and heat guns no less), but the success rate is understandably not great.

So realistically, it's not possible...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
and were it to be done, it could potentially either cost me a phone, or cost more than a phone to have done. What about replacing everything inside the phone? like, because i really like the look of my g2 more than anything. I mean dont get me wrong the speed is why i got it, but the look has certainly grown on me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmanxda:
I wouldnt think about it to much its almost imposible because even if you manage to replace the cpu on your g2 with a dual core its not gonna work because the board is not gonna support it and other componants too. its like trying to replace a celeron M on on a laptop with an i5 without changing your motherboard .

its gonna take a while for dual core smart phones to take of and by that time there is gonna be a successor for G2 that will look better. if you are not happy with the speed you are getting maybe you should look into trying different ROMs and kernels to OC .

and for changing everything in your phone all together where are you going to find a board and otherthings to fit into g2 easily ?

imho its just a bad idea
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
I think he's just having a little buyer's remorse. Seeing as how those dual-core phones are in sight now :) I know I feel the same way, but all in all, the G2 is an awesome device and I don't think I'd trade it for that Tegra 2 garbage :) (yet :rolleyes:)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
With enough resources (skills/time/money) almost anything is theoretically possible, for example it's theoretically possible to turn a Honda Civic into a rear wheel drive sports car with a Corvette engine, but the effort and money it would cost would make doing so an unwise proposition.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
in two years with g3 comes out itll have 4 cores. lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenlow:
Oh, buyers remorse is not the issue. I'm simply thinking of the future. My phone is hella fast now, i just know that the things they'll be able to do once they start really adding dual cores to phones are going to be downright ridiculous. I mean, my g2 is oc'd stably to 1.5 ghz up from 800 mhz. It's literally so fast that when i first got it it annoyed me, because everything happened instantly compared to my cliq. so accidental screen touches were common. But the reason why i ask, is because if the trend continues, In about 6 months we'll have ~1.3 ghz dual core processors in phones, with better video cards, and hella memory. And with 4g internet speeds becoming the norm. So the reason i ask, is because if you're phone is that fast, in the form factor of the g2, you could basically have your self the worlds most portable netbook. I would like this. ha ha. luckily i wouldnt have to wait too long, as i have an upgrade every year.

edited: because oh hell no was my phone running at 800ghz
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nospin:
You'll drive yourself nuts thinking like that. In another six months the tegra devices will be outdated, the best you can do is just get the best you can when you have the opportunity and wait for the next upgrade cycle. Just think, when all these tegra guys are still under contract, we'll be upgrading to a newer generation of processors. It's an endless cycle.

That screen shot from your phone that's in your signature looks amazing ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
Just remember what you need your phone to do. Not what's the best of the best. For me the reason I got a g2 is because my cliq didn't have flash and didn't run gba and snes as fast as id like. Once those two problems were solved I was very happy and am right now.

Sure once in a while I think it sucks that the nexus s hits higher benchmarks etc... but my phone does everything I want it to as of right now. So I am very content.

ZING! lol nice one
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ninj:
Hi guys!

I recently came up with a new issue on my HTC Vision (Desire Z, french).

The screen would eventually lag while in an intensive CPU program. But by lagging, I mean something very specific, let me explain through an example:

If i'm in a game (it depends which one but it's obvious with Angry Birds or Armored Defense) then i get the screen lag 9 times out of 10.

I hold a bird, then pull it to the left... aim... and let throw! That's the normal way but when I'm pulling, or aiming (moving up/down) the bird would go, without me having released my finger. And often also, it would tap the screen again just a millisecond after, catching again the screen touch. I see it because the bird do its special ability just after the launch in theses cases.

Same thing with tower defense games: i'm dragging a tower to a place and before i can reach the location, the tower places itself on the way. Then the map would drag as if i caught again the screen touch.

If i'm on the homescreen and have fun with sliding between screens, no problem, i can keep my finger on the screen and move it right, left, fast or slow, that will just move the screen fine, as intended. It's smooth. Same with the notification bar. I can move it down/up fast, smooth, for half an hour if i would like to.

So, basically, that's what I call my "screen lag". It's absolutely annoying, in games as in other apps sometimes (it affects pinch zooming as well...).

I noticed though, that in my processes, the android system process is always running high. Is it normal? In OS Monitor, CPU usage is always at 97~98%, from which system takes a fair 70% (more if nothing else runs). Is that a problem? If not, could that be the cause?

Would you like a video with this problem illustrated to understand or was it clear?

Thank you for your time and help! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
If lag is your enemy, crank up the CPU you must.

On a side note, I'm not experiencing any lag at all, just tried angry birds and Need for Speed Shift, all seems fine @ 806 MHz
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Same here, nfs shift, angry birds,

Aasphalt, fifa,.... all fine on stock speed. Only reason I've oc'd is to get rid of that millisecond lag on the homescreen, not that it was an issue, I'm just anal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rajackar:
You can use a process monitor (like watchtower) to find out which process is messing with your CPU.

I'm having a problem where bluetoothd and logcat2 are using up the cpu when I enable BlueTooth. You could try turning it of to see if you have the same problem.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ninj:
Hi.

Thank you all for your answers.

@omarsalmin, @wileykat

As i mentioned, i did not have that before. Not at all, I played the three first packs of Angry bird just fine. It has to do with some app installation I guess. But I don't know which one, and I'm not rooted. So probably ockling the CPU won't help. What's more, i'd like to keep my battery life as now, which is already so low...

@rajackar

I used OS Monitor to notice that I had a process taking over 70%. And as i wrote, it's "system" (named "Système Android" in french). Also, I keep having he problem with everything off (all i can turn off has been so), and just after a reboot (fast reboot disabled).

How could I find the cause of my system process eating all CPU?

Big thanks guys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Your not running any task managers are you?.... I used TaskPanelX on my Hero for about 9 months thinking it was beneficial but when I uninstalled and rebooted everything ran smoother. I have tested on the DZ and got the same result.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ninj:
I'm only launching OS Monitor from time to time, to check things, but close it then (the clean way, complete exit, not just minimize). I'm not running anything else, at least which I know about. Anyway, the problem came before I installed tools for checking. And also, the process involved here is "system".

Can anyone tell me if OS Monitor (or another process monitor but I would like to compare with same app) shows a low CPU usage when not doing anything? Or is it a OS Monitor issue, showing the system process to take all the remaining CPU power?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motoemt:
So my brand new 7 day old vibrant is not working now. yesterday i was surfing the droid store, and looking for new apps, and installed a text editor, afterwards i made a text file. and saved it, that's when things went awry, I got a force close message, so i figured no big deal, i'll just reboot the phone. Well after cycling the power, now all i get is the initial splash screen saying samsung galaxy s gt-i9000m and it blanks out, then continues an endless loop. Only way to stop it is to pull the battery. the 3 button combo for force downloading works, but the 3button combo to get the recovery menu doesnt.

Question is can my phone be fixed? is it possible to recover the data ie pics/videos i had on it? or is it borked and i need to take it to exchange it.

Technical information

i doubt that the app you downloaded had anything to do with it. I hade the same prob. kept rebooting, 3button download mode works. 3 button recovery mode didnt, you need to call bell and get it sent away basically.

If that doesn't work, call it in to Bell and do me a fav and report this failure in the i9000M hardware fail poll. This is the first 10.11 fail I've seen.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motoemt:
Well after searching all over the forums, and finding some similar situations and methods used to correct them.

I've flashed my phone probably 12 times, today and nomatter whatrevision or options i use with odin, it always hangs, in some cases, I'd get past the gt-i9000m black screen, to the galaxy s splash screen, but not past there, i9000ugjh2 seems to get me the furthest along @ the boot screen.

Anyone looking to reflash to a different version, before returning i suggest using the i9000ugjh2 image since it resets the model number to gt-i9000m which, maybe be changed by some of the other firmwares/roms

anyways back to the store tomorrow, since i got snowed in today.

Good luck to anyone else, I will post information on the new hardware tomorrow, If it's 10.11 again i'll have to try and force a failure. But we'll see what we see.

hey guys.

i just want to know if you guys can replicate a problem i found and see if the problem i have is isolated or not.

so i've been charging my phone today and noticed that when i try and power down the phone while it is charging, the phone hangs at the shutdown circle and freezes.

when i unplug the charger (wall charger), then the phone immediately turns off.

at first i thought it was because of low battery ( i ran the phone until it died).

then i thought it was because i had no wireless connection (was in building-no signal).

when there was enough juice, i shut down the phone (not charging this time) and the phone powers down.

if this has been already covered, i apologize...
