[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi all,

I am using the following 'mail' programs :

TouchDown for Exchange Mail

Gmail for my gmail

Mail (the standard HTC Sense one) for a pop3 mail account

I can adjust the polling frequency in TouchDown and in Mail, but do not seem to find the frequency in Gmail. Am I blind :), did it change in my last Android update or is this on push all the time.

If it is on push, what alternatives do I have to mail (TouchDown does not take non-exchange accounts). I want the notification to be different from my TouchDown and mail account. Any ideas.

Thanks in advance,

Ruud
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
I don't think you can change the frequency on Gmail as new emails are psuhed to your phone as you receive them.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruud Westerhout:
Hi Olivierlee,

thanks for your reaction. That's exactly what I am afraid of. But what I want to achieve is a not so frequent polling of gmail, I am not using it so much and would hope to save some battery time. Touchdown is also not at push for the same reason.

What other software would be good to recommend allowing to install polling frequency and notification variants.

regards,

Ruud
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
Why don't you set up Gmail from the Mail app?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruud Westerhout:
I guess the main reason is that I am afraid that I can set only one notification sound for incoming mail from both my pop3 account as well as gmail. Now (while using different programs) I can set different sounds, and I really do prefer that.

I will be playing around with the HTC mail client somewhat and eventually decide what way to go. Anyway thanks for confirming gmail is actually a push only client.

Regards,

Ruud

I suggest you try a free app from the market called k-9 mail. Its got all the features of the stock htc mail app and then some. Including the ability to set per account ringtones.

I know its still really early in the life of GB, but I have pretty much tried every gb rom out there, and, as fast and as slick as they look, every one I have tried seems to still be unstable; that is random reboots, which are bad when you are in a phone call, to FC's, screen refresh lag, and everything else that be annoying..

I have tried stock kernels, add on kernels, and everything else in between, and, even though some roms are more stable than others, I still cant find a combo that works properly 100% of the time.

I guess I have been spoiled with CM6 6.1.1, working perfectly, and as much as I want to be on a GB rom, is it me, my phone, or just the state of the GB code at this point?

Thanks for any input you might have into this! ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dutchI3:
about it re-locking
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seo-agentur:
yes

correct! but for safety make a backup of the nv_data.bin on the external sdcard, it's anytime good to have one. Additional save the nv_data.bin.md5 file.

there's very specific/unique information coded in the nv_data file that fits ONLY to YOUR phone, like IMEI and other hardware specific stuff.

the phone won't relock at update. NV_DATA means non-volatile and is loaded at boot, stored in ram, and while you flash the phone this

section will be read out and verified if it's (un)locked. The lock status keeps the same as before upgrade.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuggZaPoppiN:
Yesterday I picked up a replacement evo. The replacement was a brand new phone, not a refurbished.

Sprint swapped out SD cards at the store from my old evo to the new one and had issue starting it. Phone froze up a several times before he could see if it made phone calls.

I fully charged it and updated prl and profile and still had constant reboots and freezes.

So I rooted my phone to see if a different rom would help and I'm still having the same issues.

My question is, do I need to maybe format my SD card? If so do I need to save any files and folders?

Also I'm currently running cm6, do I need to unroot and put the default rom back on?

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
I think the cleanest method would be to unroot and put the original ruu on the phone. Either way you should back up your sd card on your pc so you dont loose any information.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuggZaPoppiN:
What files if any do I need to put back on the SD card?

Or do I just format it and restart the phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
Just your personal files.....any files needed for re-rooting can always be downloaded again....additionally, you don't want to assume the method you used to root your old phone would be the same way for your new one...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuggZaPoppiN:
So if unroot my phone and go back to the stock rom, I can then proceed to format my SD card and my evo will still boot?

same problem

I have a similiar issue where my evo is not reading my SD now. Tried to backup and retore nandroid and it would never complete. I am assuming the SD may be damaged, however when I boot into recovery it reads everything that is on the SD when I go to flash ROM from SD. I would like to format and see if this is the problem, but will that erase the rom i am currently using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Formatting your SD Card will do nothing to your ROM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Yes, your phone will still boot. Do not transfer over system files or folders, just transfer pictures/video/etc. from your SD card to your computer, unroot, run the RUU (DO NOT RUN THE 2.3 RUU YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT), then format your card. Oh, and do not accept the OTA Update they are pushing.

Or, you could format it in recovery and see what happens. If you are using AmonRa, go to Wipe ---> SD Card. (Remember - transfer your files to your computer)

Hey all,

My current forum status is lurker, owing to the fact that I rarely post here (This is actually my first post). All the cooks/coders/et al know what an awesome job they're doing, and most threads are now "Do not post thanks".

But I was thinking (due to current circumstances ;) ) would a blank, built-from-source kernel with all our collective mods, etc. be particularly useful?

I was thinking that, in order for Android to run on our HD2's, it needs kernel modifications. Would it be better to build this kernel off the Android git? Is this what happens now anyway? Is there a need for this?

I was also curious if someone would mind posting a sticky, where people could go to look for things to help on. Sorta like a grand central job hut. Do people in this sector of XDA need help? Or are cooks, et al mainly solo players?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhan032:
I found a Bug in the Backup & Restore application of the new new 2.1 firmware for the X10 .

If your sim card is password proctected & if the Backup & Restore application is killed - your SIM card gets locked & you phone will loose your cellular signal .

This is pretty silly because the priority for the backup & restore is 500 (No Running Code) so whenever Android kills it to free memory ..the phone looses its signal !!

Is anyone else also facing this issue?

Made a small video as well of the problem :

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmax74:
I'm experiencing the same problem, even if my simcard is not locked!

I have a AT&T branded X10a updated to '2.1 Nordic X10i' and then reflashed to the standard S.E. 2.1 X10a.

I thought I had this problem due to the 'unofficial update'... Sometimes (even more frequently) during a phone call my cell phone hangs. Also data and SMS are not working. The only way I found to reset it without rebooting is to set it to the airplane mode and normal mode again. This force to register the cell phone again over the network and makes it stable for a while. But the problems repeats...

My idea was to flash it back to AT&T and look if something happens...

With MYN's assistance and encouragement I've been toying with Release 5. So far I've got a Semi-transparent Lockbar and a Clear Lockbar.

Flash as you would any flashable zip. Make sure you do a Nandroid, (or any Backup) first, as I am not responsible if you bork your set-up, or brick your phone, or run over your dog as you angrily back out of the driveway, or get caught cutting heads off your sister's Barbies so you can send them to me in protest, or...well, you get the point...BACK UP FIRST.

As they're based on the raw (virgin) ROM, they should not interfere at all.

But you get to be first!!!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tuscolavol:
I can post pics when I get home but I downloaded the clear lockscreen and I have some black/black issues that (I think) Rujelus has fixed. The pop-ups when you press menu from the home screen, from the browser and long pressing a post on the XDA app are what I've noticed so far. It would be great if your mods would work with his.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Persnlmgr:
First, if you can confirm that those were fixed, and the lockscreen mod reverted them, that'd be great.

If so, one last test...can you try flashing the clear lockscreen first, then the fixed GB keyboard? I know there's some "brain-damage" involved in doing a restore to stock, then flashing this stuff, but you'd be helping me, and the whole Warm community.

I think, because my stuff's based on a virgin install of the ROM, if you flash mine first, everything else should work. But any input you can provide would be a MAJOR help.

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tuscolavol:
I would be honored to be your crash dummy. I've gleaned so much from you guys on Myn's thread I would jump ay a chance to give back.

First, when I nan'd back, all the menus were fixed.

But I haven't flashed a keyboard of any kind. Just the MynMod from that thread I linked. Would you want me to flash Myn5, flash your mod and then flash his? If so. I wouldn't need to wipe data, correct?

Edit: Let's make it test dummy instead.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Persnlmgr:
Awesome, thanks! (And for this you'll get a custom service of your choosing...like putting your name in your lock and status bar).

Back up your exisiting set-up.

Use Calk's Format All, (the best and easiest way to wipe everything), flash the rom, check menus and keyboards. They should all stay/look perfectly stock. If they do...

Flash my clear lockbar, reboot, check all menus and keyboards. They should all still look stock.

At this point do another back up, so you have 1 clean virgin and 1 clean with clear lockbar. (hope you have a 16+ SD card, if not, just dump the backups on your computer).

Then install the GB menu. Check all menus and keyboards, and also, please check for the weird timecode issues in SMS.

Report your findings.

And a quick recommendation: there's an awesome app in the market, PicMe. It loads your active phone screens into your browser (change a screen on the phone, hit F5 on your browser, VOILA) so you can take and store PNGs right to the computer. I use it A LOT. It's a semi-painful extra step, but documenting each step with a few pics would be AMAZING....

Okay, so what appears to happen is, if you install the GB menus after my lockscreen it gets "broken", and if you apply lockscreen before GB the lockscreen screws with some of the menus. Is this right?

The only real difference I see on one of them is no text under the arrows....

I'll PM rueljas (?) and see if we can work on it together. In the meantime, install the GB first, then the lockscreen, and if it's only those arrows, well you know what they mean so, for the time being, that should be bearable, no?
