I run mine at 1.5ghz, see no need to push it further. Im getting all the performance I need at 1.5ghz. I use setcpu profiles, one to severely underclock when it reaches a certain temp and a charging profile that runs at stock clock to reduce heat when charging.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
1.3ghz. Not like i feel it however. But 1.4ghz one they have posted wasnt 100% stable for me.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark3637:
Ive taken all the steps, rooted with visionary, s-off, downloaded rom manager, flashed to latest clockwork mod recovery, then ive tried to download cyanogenmod from rom manager, it downloads then reboots and goes to the recovery screen and i select reboot and when the phone comes back on nothings happended? can some one please tell me what im doing wrong?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blinkydamo:
Have you flashed clockwork recovery? Shut the phone down and start it holding the volume down button. In to recovery and see if it goes into clockwork, if it doesn't then you need to install the custom recovery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timefalls:
Try downloading directly from the CM website on your PC, then puttin the .zip file in the root of your SD, then once you're in clockwork, choose "update from .zip file"
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jqmn:
On a recent trip, with the autoupdate time on, the phone time changes correctly to the current time zone. However, every calendar appointment changes by the offset from the original time zone time to the local time. For appointments, reservations etc. this requires you to remember the timezone and time of the appointment as opposed to what the calendar shows (i.e., meeting at 3 p.m. which is now showing as 4 p.m. since you moved from CST to EST). Samsung confirmed that this is the case and had no workaround. I see this with other Samsung phones going back to 2008. It looks like you can either have accurate time or a hosed calendar. Is there a fix other than using some other calendar or synching to to some other calendar?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misled3k:
Have you tried creating the events on your google account, instead of the phone's "My Calendar"?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jqmn:
Thanx but no, I am looking to use the phone and its calendar only.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieranc:
I consider this to be the best change I've made to my phone, dropping the dpi setting in build.prop from 240 to 200. You can fit so much more on screen, menus look awesome and you can always tweak the font size in individual apps if it's too small.

It always shocks me how huge everything looks after re-flashing, it's the first thing I change every time.

So, does anyone else use a non standard dpi setting? If not I urge you to try it!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomb:
I love having my N1 set at 200 as well. I also have a Viewsonic GTablet that I have dropped to 140. I use LCD Density Changer to change the resolution as it is quick and it stays set through reboots (requires root).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onesavior:
How does one go about doing this?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwinger79:
I had not ever tried this till seeing this post. Now that I have tried it, I am not sure if I will be able to go back to 240. Thanks for the heads up OP.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rori~:
..yeah, always set to 220.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raviff:
170 here. Stayed at 200 for a while but then I went further, couldn't go back...

My gf keeps hers at 240. I can't stand looking at her screen! lol
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] overthinkingme:
I found 200 almost mandatory on my Evo but on my nexus.. stock is fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mik101:
IMO only some of the settings look "right" whereas others distort things.

I use 240, 192, 180 depending on what I'm doing on my Nexus1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treatcon:
Wonders the same thing.

Edit... LCD Density Changer
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieranc:
Or if you'd rather not pay, remount /system rw and find this line in build.prop:

ro.sf.lcd_density=240

Set it to whatever you like and reboot :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Just tried a few densities and like 200 :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
Thanks for the info.

I guess some apps don't work if you mess around with the density. I liked 220 but the app 'RadioRip' stopped working, so I have to settle with 230 as the app still works with that setting.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan2552:
I'd love to use my phone at 180 but the stock keyboard goes too small. I can't live without gingerbread keyboard :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieranc:
It might be worth trying unticking compatibility mode in spare parts, seems to fix most issues that changing the DPI causes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryce2010:
Thanks again..That worked

Edit: ok now Skype is all messed up

Think I'll just stick with 240 :-/

[Galaxy S I9000 General] janepen:
Phone has signal when 3G covered. When there is no 3G covered, it shows emergency call only

I just found that when shows emergence call only, the GSM or WCDMA (*#0011#) show 'limited', band is GSM900/1800 OR WCDMA/2100.

What is the problem? I can use the simcard normally on Blackberry at the same place and same time. Does it mean the phone has some signal problem like iphone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] keulieminogue:
Hi Guy

i guess you activated only 3g - just use gsm/3g (gsm/wcdma) than it should work
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yeah if you selected wcdma only

you will only get signal when there's 3G
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
or if your carrier doesnt support gsm.. didnt say who your carrier was but i remember reading there are some that support 3g but no gsm?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sysiphus1981:
or the carier covers gms with a contract from another carier. here in austria we had this problem with dataconnections and android and roaming disabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] janepen:
Mine is UK Orange network. I always used the GSM/WCDMA (AUTO) so it is not the setting problem.

I have tried lots of firmwares with no success. I am not on the Orange stock firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
I have tried lots of firmwares with no success. I am not on the Orange stock firmware.

If it fails on stock firmware take it back under warranty .

If it fails under a flashed custom ROM its the ROM .

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] dyawlak:
I had to hard reset my Diamond 2 due to some problems.

B4 the reset, when clicking SMS notification at the top status bar for a of message I sent, it showed who the message was sent to.

Since the reset, that information is missing.

I'm using the HTC stock ROM WM6.5 sense 2.5.

Any ideas/suggestion as to how I can turn this back on really appreciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] chacik:
I wish I could help, but can you, please, be more specific about the actions you take?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rew64:
I've just done a Nandriod restore and now I have no installed apps. Problem is the market app has gone so I can't download Titanium backup to restore them.

Anyone know of a solution? Surly the market app is part of the ROM? Anyway to get the market program back?

Using Pre-rooted Stock Froyo (2.29.405.5) [Optional mods} by teppic74 with his A2SD+ scrip.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Did you make a nandroid with ext3? Not a normal nandroid? Otherwise you programs would not be backuped. You could try flashing the rom you used, then wiping your phone (exept your ext3) Then restoring your nandroid. Then your apps should be back (most of them)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rew64:
Yes it asked me something about the ext partition and I answered yes to it. If you watch when it's restoring it gets to a bit near then end when it says restoring ext partition.

I've sort of fixed it I just wiped every thing and installed the ROM with the add-ons then installed TB and most of my apps. Just spent the last hour putting all the home screens rite :rolleyes: never agian.:( I've got my text messages backed up on the computer.

Wish I never started messing with it now :mad:
[Droid X General] crobs808:
I am using a dot pattern for security to unlock my phone now so how do I make the initial drag/slide lock go away? I want the dots to show as soon as I turn on the screen, rather than having to slide unlock first everytime.

Thx
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
You can't do it. I managed to do it by keeping a titanium backup file of Settings Storage from version 2.1 u1. I restore it, set my lock pattern, and it completely disables the slide to unlock.
[Droid X General] SayWhat10:
bummmer

is this still the case? no way to turn off slide to unlock and keep pattern?
[EVO 4G General] ttieder:
I am following ces and everyone is getting dual core phones with crazy specs and sprint all they have announced is the shift hope this changes cause I really like sprint how does everyone else feel
[EVO 4G General] alex2792:
I'm sure that sprint well get a dual core phone, but they never get,cutting edge technology first.
[EVO 4G General] ttieder:
I really thought they were going to announce the HTC sabor guess that not going to happen pretty disappointed so far
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
Links to Dual Core PHONES mentioned Ive been scouring engadget and Cnet and phone arena but to no avail!
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Probably won't see much from Sprint here. Maybe at MWC for Spring/Summer announcements. BTW, some of these phones are crazy good. AT&T is surprisingly looking on top with their Android phones now. First the Inspire 4G with a non gimped 4.5" SAMOLED and 1.2 GHz Hummingbird and now the Atrix w/ dual core and a HUGE battery (I knew dual cores would be battery eaters).
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/motorola-atrix-4g-announced-for-atandt/

Dual core + HSPA+/"4G" + 1GB (!) of RAM + 1900 mAh battery

Edit: As cool as dual cores are, I wonder how a updated <45nm 1 GHz Cortex A9 and 1900 mAh battery would be like. It'd be a lot faster than the current single core 1 GHz phones and probably would last 24 hours with moderate to heavy use. I know a ton of people would disagree but my dream EVO 2 would include something like that plus a really powerful GPU.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
When is Sprints big event? Its so fracking laughable, they announce the Shift, a G2 just remodeled like it is some revolutionary phone and these other companies are getting monsters I am so disappointed Sprint, like I said the hilarity at us loyal customers getting shafted is funny!
[EVO 4G General] mykenyc:
Great minds think alike, i seriously was about to write this! I'm getting a little irate at the moment, i really hope they at least getting the LG Black since it hasn't been announced to any carriers yet.
[EVO 4G General] sling:
Hmm the first 4G phone with front facing Camera.

If that's not cutting edge you must be a time traveler....Dr Who kind of ****.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
He cannot be a time lord because Dr Who is the last of the time lords you NOOB! :p

I really do hope Sprint gets SOMETHING though.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Might have been the first pseudo 4G phone but not the first with a front facing camera. And if you're argument is that it had both, I could just pull out two obscure features and call a lot of phones the "first".
[EVO 4G General] sling:
Ha

Dr who has a son named alex2792 floating around out there that truly is the last time lord.

This will be reveled to all next session so bookmark this thread ;)
[EVO 4G General] sling:
Its the first phone with 4G and front cam.

Combined they are cutting edge what do you not understand about my original post?

If I stated Its the first 4G phone with the first front cam your post would make sense.

Anyway Enough word games Alex is a time traveler
[EVO 4G General] T3hPWN:
in the poor guys defense it was the "1st" 4G phone in america to go public.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Like I said, it's a poor argument. Front facing cams on phones were cutting edge when they were being pushed along with 3G way back when. It just never caught on and is still pretty fringe today. I've always said this, and it sure to piss you off, but aside from being a WiMax phone the EVO was nothing more than a HD2 with Android on it. Hardly cutting edge.

These phones on the other are clearly on a new level.
[EVO 4G General] sling:
they were cutting edge together because owners of the combo can truly preform quality video chat without wifi.

That's cutting edge combo my friend.

It also opened the door for cross platform cam apps...Tango etc
[EVO 4G General] ttieder:
I really hope the LG black is for sprint to or something the shift can't be all that would be really sad if they get dominated like that
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
A processor battery eating bump & what NFC? Big whoop. They all seem to follow the EVO's theme.

The guy was right, nothing match the EVO (feature for feature) and at the time it launched & it was "the biggest reveal" at the show.

Show me some battery innovations, removable ram & graphics, USB OTG, Biometric capacitive screens, etc in these new phones & then I'll say ok a "whole new level".
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
There are a ton of new better phones in CES and a few of them are ushering a new level in smartphones. Maybe it's not just one, but these all ARE on a new level. I'll focus on one: The Astrix.

The Tegra 2 it has is a dual core Cortex A9. That's a next gen CPU. Everything out now (the old Snapdragon, the new Snapdragon/Scorpions, Hummingbird, and OMAPs) all have Cortex A8's. A single core Cortex A9 would handily out perform any of those right now, now add in the fact that it's a dual core.That's a new level if I've ever seen one. Battery life with dual cores have ALWAYS been a concern for me but it looks like this phone has that covered with a whopping 1900 mAh stock battery.

Now let's talk about memory. 1 GB of RAM, double ups on all phones except the MYT4G and Desire HD which have 768 MB. 16 GB of internal storage not that new but combined with a preloaded 32 GB micro SD and it's most I've seen out of a Android phone out of the box.

The screen is a 4" 960x540 resolution display (16:9). Not the first but definitely next gen compared to the current gen of Androids phones.

Some usual suspects: front facing camera, HSPA+ for "4G" speeds. Some new/different ones: Fingerprint reader, computer docking.

When the EVO was announced it really was just a HD2 with WiMax and Android. It was the Android phone we were all expecting but aside from WiMax it was current gen. This and a few other phones shown today are absolutely next gen with no 2010 phone being able to compare. Bottom line, the EVO was Android hardware catching up and introducing WiMax; this phone is setting a standard for all phones.
[EVO 4G General] nabbed:
Perhaps sprint is waiting to see what is coming out, so they can grab another deal with htc for a killer phone.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
Wrong

It had a Kickstand, Front Camera, HDMI, Capacitive buttons, 8 MP camera & QSD8650 chip.

The HD2 had none of this,

And as far as the current CES phones go it is an natural bump in power/graphics, NFC in some, yes they are stonger but feature wise, I call BS. It is not a far cry from the EVO, Samsung Galaxy S Epic, Nexus S or Desire HD 2010 phones.

Hell the Nokia N8 is a contender for some of these phones if you look at the hardware, Its just a powerhouse with crap software.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Kickstand, ground breaking stuff. FFC, not new. HDMI, wow. Capacitive buttons, not new. 8MP camera, not new. That chip? Just the CDMA variant of the same damn chip.

It's laughable that you even try to compare this phone to any phone currently out. It's not even close.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The N8, really? WOW.

Look at the CPU, GPU, RAM, resolution etc. The things that matter. The N8 is weak.
[EVO 4G General] svinyard:
I believe the gentleman was stating that the EVO was far from just an HD2 clone as you had stated. I don't understand your retort though?

lets be honest, more powerful basics...thats about it. Certainly not seeing any WTF BBQ sauce by any means.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I'm not denying that the EVO was feature rich phone but it didn't advance the standards or expectations. It used stuff that was already used; most not even being remotely new. This phone brings a whole lot of new and current stuff to the table. The EVO did not do this, this phone does.

Edit: To be clearer, when I say new, I mean next gen. Or in an analogy: The EVO was like getting last years car but fully decked out with all the features.
[EVO 4G General] IEatRoots:
Can you people shut up about whether the Evo was revolutionary or not and contribute to the thread. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking we don't need 2 or 3 retards arguing about this.

Back to topic:

There is no news currently besides the announcement of the MiFi and Shift.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
Patience, everyone. I'd love for these phones to be coming to Sprint, but this time last year I was on AT&T clamoring for the Supersonic and mad that AT&T favored the iPhone. Now that the iPhone won't be exclusive, it makes sense for them to come out swinging.

Sprint will get a quality phone that has actual 4G and a better phone plan.

It sucks but our day will come again. We're rapidly approaching an age where added specs won't be necessary. Dual core processors with a gig of memory? Battery life and efficiency is going to be the next big thing.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It's because there's nothing to be said about Sprint and CES. We knew about the EVO before it was announced. Similarly, all of the just announced phones were rumored too (like Sprint with the Shift).
[EVO 4G General] mykenyc:
Lol, thanks for this. Think it's irrelevant arguing about a phone that came out 6-7 months ago, whether you accept the EVO was evolutionary - which is subjective - the consumer market decides that. It's like saying the iPhone isn't revolutionary, which we know as geeks is not, but according to the average consumer it is, plus the Evo grabbed a lot of market attention considering the iPhone 4 came out, Evo held its own, albeit i understand both points. To get back on topic, we still have a few days, seems like today was AT&T day, i'm not losing hope, because i know Sprint will release something.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
^Exactly...
[EVO 4G General] ttieder:
Im still hoping one of the LG phones is coming to sprint
[EVO 4G General] adamr240:
How was the iphone not revolutionary? It pretty much changed the touchscreen phone paradigm. It has obviously influenced many devices since.
[EVO 4G General] mykenyc:
I think the LG black will be like the optimus line, at least i'm hoping.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
I'd rather a new phone mid year. Hope they got something better coming in June.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
I believe they will, lets hope it is HTC and not LG, although I cant judge LG devices never had one. Anyone have any input on a good LG device?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I see your point but I think Sprint's timing is stupid. They'll be competing with the iPhone every year that way. Verizon is inches away from getting a iPhone so then it'd be even worse for them. On top of that, it seems like mid-year is a transitional period where tech is slightly bumped. So all the good stuff comes out now, Sprint adapts that same tech to the Summer, and then a month later, all the early stuff gets updated, making what Sprint released look even older.
[EVO 4G General] EricSS619:
Sprint has gotten lots of stuff first in its history. A few things I owned over the years from them were the first cell phone with a color screen in the US, the first phone with a 1 megapixel camera, and now the evo, the first 4g phone (if wimax isnt 4g then what is it cuz it aint 3g)
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
The Optimus One line was a surprisingly good line - bought two for relatives in fact. It was a low end line though. LG looks like they are trying to break into the high end market but I can't shake off the low end feel to even their high spec'd high end phones.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
SMH @ Sprint. One power phone a year just isnt going to do it.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
This is what im afraid of, I had an Epic and I can tell you it just felt "cheap" I know the slide out keyboard didnt help but I would like to compare the shift and the epics feel on the same grounds of keyboards.
[EVO 4G General] mykenyc:
I agree with this, i think people need to really check out the optimus line, for the price, it is exceptional. I think LG got it right, first android phone i owned that was buttery smooth; overtime too.
[EVO 4G General] scirio:
Perfect example of someone who speaks from their ass.

Sprint was the first in the US to bring:

Camera phones

later followed by the first video phone

2G

3G - 1x

3G - EVDO

4G
[EVO 4G General] Shigster:
I think Sprint is holding their cards close to the chest until revealing time. I really hope they go for the Wow factor "I didn't expect that" feeling. Sprint was losing customers and then the EVO and the Samsung Epic and the consumers went to Sprint. Don't forget that AT&T changed their data plans, so no matter if they come up with new high hend phones, I think some peple are going to be kinda put off because they can't Wifi Tether (mostly our community).
[EVO 4G General] jzajzz:
STOP COMPLAINING !!!!!!

and

STOP LYING!!!!!

Who's everyone??

Only AT&T has announced a dual core processor phone and that's the Motorola phone. Verizon has yet to announce anything. Tmobile is not even mentioned.

AT&T is the only carrier that had an event so far .. so hold your horses
[EVO 4G General] EShy:
None of the phones that are about to be announced are ground breaking next generation phones. It's just a progression in specs, nothing else.

It's not even a big enough difference to make me want one of these phones.

In the last coupld of weeks, when people who are about to be eligible for upgrade or don't have a smart phone asked me what to get I said wait for these announcements, but I don't see anything in these phones that makes me wish Sprint had them (as an Evo owner).

Better specs are expected over time, I'd rather wait for something really ground breaking for my next phone.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
I guarantee that if the Atrix 4G was released on Sprint, everybody would be hailing it as next gen and revolutionary. How people don't already see it as that is beyond me. The EVO 2, if it will even exist, will be nothing more than what the Atrix 4G already is, just 6 months late.

The Atrix blows everything on the market out of the water.
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
I know dude, that thing is beast as HELLLLL, I want sprint to get a phone like that *pouts* I dont feel loved SPRINT!!! :P
[EVO 4G General] TheMatrixx:
I've gotta agree.

I don't understand all these people saying the phones at CES this year aren't any big deal and aren't ground breaking. If phones with dual core processors, amazing GPUs, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, etc aren't "ground breaking", then what is?

Yet people are praising the EVO for being the first with a kickstand? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
my money is waiting on the evo successor, nicknamed "hypersonic" with its 4.3 in super retina beating display, tegra3 graphics, dual 12mp cameras for 3d images and wimax/lte compatability for 4g roaming
[EVO 4G General] sling:
^^^^

The kickstand is ground breaking lol
