It is a known problem, especially with the older firmware. Sometimes the FC's are so bad that you can't even get into the settings to do a data wipe.

I've actually called CS about this, as an example of why they need an offline updater of some kind to get around issues like these. Suggestion: if you don't want to install clockworkmod, at least try to update the firmware to the latest and greatest, via one of the newer stock ROMs we're retrieved:

That might get you enough access to get into the Settings menu and do the factory restore.

Little new to NAND Android builds! just got my hd2 back!....Anyway!

Why are my Quadrant scores so low , im gettin about 1300-1590 with all builds....and thats overclocked

Im seeing people get in the 2000 ish scores...What am i doing wrong?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
You're paying attention to quadrant scores. They're irrelevant, and you'll see them vary from build to build. Just ignore it and judge the speed of the phone & OS by your overall satisfaction. If it feels slow, then it is. If it doesn't then it's not.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Hardcore kernel is good for battery. What type of life are you getting
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PizzaAmerican23:
depends. Sometimes its really good. But sometimes it seems like its draining at 10-15% per hour in standby.

I thought it might have had something to do with my battery stats, but i reset them and it still happens sometimes.

The weird thing is it will start draining really quick, and then ill plug it in to charge for like 5-10 mins, and then it goes back to normal and only drains maybe 2 percent per hour (in standby).

I've tried restarting the phone when this happens and it doesn't help at all. I'm beginning to think there might actually be something wrong with my battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Sounds like some odd behavior. I am on andromeda I have been off charge for 11hrs of solid use 3hr + screen time. I am at 33%

I found them using 'treesize mobile', available on the marketplace for free.

There is obviously a problem updating OTA. Rather they release it this way as soon as they can and then OTA when they are sure its stable.

And after a little browsing of the captivate forum it looks like they are having a lot of problems with both kies and the froyo update.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Lol, so basically it breaks down like this:

-Tmobile received a ton of bad press over entire delay of Froyo.

-They cave and release the update that Samsung had given them MONTHS ago but they didn't release because of z4root and they only release it through kies so that enthusiasts will STFU while a majority will not receive the easily rootable update.

-They announce that there will be a mandatory OTA update later, which will obviously be 2.2.1, updating everyone to the z4root proof Froyo.

[Nook Color General] deitiphobia:
Editing the build.prop file to change the LCD Density from 163 to 250, to match the Samsung Galaxy Tab, makes the Nook color icons and graphics seem very cartoonish and blurry.

I'm wondering, do the images on the Samsung Galaxy Tab look blurry and unsharp also at it's default of 250 LCDD? If not, does it use a different set of images at a different resolution or something?

Is there any way of improving the appearance of icons and graphics on the Nook Color at LCD Density of 250 so it doesn't look so blurred and un-sharp???

Does anyone have a suggested LCD Density that gets as close to 250 without things looking un-sharp and dull?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] tech_head:
I don’t like anything above 190.
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
Doesn't the galaxy tab use 240?

The graphics that don't look very good are raster so they wont scale to a larger size without looking worse. Don't know of anything that you can do.
[Nook Color General] aludal:
Galaxy Tab can use whatever Samsung wants for their default hike of their "native", aka physical pixel density which is somewhere between 168 and 170 dpi. Their approach might include enhanced (for 240 dpi) rendering of icons and probably enhanced rendering of fonts. Both are dependent on how good the device's Open GL ES 2.0 works, especially how much hardware assitance in rendering is involved.

Our hardware might be not involved at all, especially being pre-A2.2 (or I'd rather say, pre-Android 2.3).

As NookColor stands today (even with Nookie Froyo), I can't recommend doing any DPI hikes (like to 180, or to 200, or even to 240 dpi) as unsupported at the present level of Open GL implementation. Some tweaks around 168...170 may prove more productive in gaining better readability though, see it in my blog fineoils.blogspot.com: a recent post, and throughout.

180 here.. perfect and tack sharp for me
[Nook Color General] 12paq:
I played around with my density levels after reading a post from a prominent participant here in the Nook section of XDA.

When the idea of the adjusting pixel definition first came we were all lowering our densities for sharper screens on our phones.

To raise it on the Nook to come close to the Galaxy Tab seemed counter intuitive and the amount of apps made for tabs size at the time was poor at best and still is. Yet so much is determined by software and hardware. So after fiddling with my density I settled with stock 160. I need that sharpness. My Samsung Vibrant's screen is so good. Picking up my phone after my tab was disapointing.

As a photographer I stare and gauge sharpness all day long, so I am probably guilty of over thinking it.

As stated previously, software limitations currently apply so maybe in the future going up in desity will yield great results. I think we have only begun to what this screen can do.

Given all that I surmise its a matter of taste and one more tool in our tool box as things evolve, and they are evolving fast and fun.
