[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] jesusice:
On our screens it won't make a difference if you use black wallpaper or not. If we had an AMOLED screen it would. On an AMOLED screen if there's black it will actually not light up that pixel, giving you true black and battery savings but on our screen it's still lighting up that pixel just lighting it up black. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Deleting the HTC lockscreen gives you the AOSP lock screen with the sliding tabs. When I was on stock rooted I noticed that it meant that when I plugged in my charger it no longer turned my screen on automatically and when playing YouTube videos I could lock the screen and still hear the audio. With the HTC lockscreen intact it'd stop the video completly whenever I locked the screen and the screen would turn on whenever I plugged in the phone.

maybe

The 2.2 for me works well. I use it mostly to watch shows, movies and listen to shoutcast at work. If 2.3 had an advantage i'd think about it but haven't read about any really.? I used the shiftrr last time. Awesome for people that didn't have a clue like me.

Am thinking about a rom or kernel to speed the phone up maybe but no overclocking,mainly need battery life at work.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] trsix:
i was warned

Deleted it a week or so ago. Used alarm for the first time last night, woke up couldn't shut it off lol. Fair warning. It does wake you up so much better though when you can't shut the frickin thing off. I rebooted the phone after realizing what was going on.

Battery life on Hd its very poor,,i know that but i want to know maybe i can recalibrate my battery like on Desire(standard Desire)

Tnx
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
Yes you can calibrate. Perform a full charge for 6 to 7 hours. Reboot in recovery with phone not plugged in and from advanced menu in recovery hit wipe battery stats. Confirm your choice. Reboot and put phone to charge again till it hits 100%

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
It should. If it is not, then something wrong with rom. You will have to wipe and reflash. But before better to check your background apps, sync servers, 2g 3g, wifi bluetooth, screen brightness etc.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Edit: ignore the serial number part, they start with a letter...d'oh! Maybe we can still see a pattern with IMEI.

I'm trying to see if we can determine a pattern to when people get OTA updates to the OS and/or the Market.

It's clearly not based on location, as people all over the world have received stuff before other people just around the corner from them.

I think it might be based on the IMEI or SN of the phone.

If you've received the OTA update, and only if you've received it, please vote in the poll and select two answers - the first for what # your IMEI begins with.

If we can determine this, we'll save a lot of frustration and forum traffic based on "I'm here and haven't gotten it yet"; we might be able to give people an idea of where they are in the queue from Google.

To see your IMEI and Serial #, go to Settings, About, Status, and scroll down for IMEI. Serial # is in the battery door, underneath the battery (edit: but they start with a letter, so the poll is screwed for that).

I can't participate in the poll because I pushed it manually, but I hadn't gotten the OTA notification as of 16:00 PST (Los Angeles) yesterday.

My IMEI starts with a 3 and my SN starts with a 1.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
After some further thought, I'll bet everyone's IMEI begins with a 3... Gonna have to rethink how to do this without asking people to divulge the complete number.

Hi,

Now that I have a full working nvflash setup as I described Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914039&highlight=nvflash

I want to try to use nvflash to make a COMPLETE backup.

What I mean by COMPLETE is that I could use the backed files to theoretically resuscitate a Gtab that has a completely empty/unpartitioned/unformatted internal SDCARD.

If anyone knows how to do that, please post.

Hey all, I have a LARGE spec of dust thats "stuck" on the inside of the plastic housing for my camera.

Ive tried bouncing it gently around, and trying to move it, but its firmly planted nicely there.

Is that a sealed unit, is there any "easy" access to inside or am I pretty much hooked. I took out all the screws to see if there was any easy access , but with them all removed, I couldnt get the back inside to come off, and didnt want to destroy my phone or ruin anything.

All for ONE spec of tiny dust!

i had emailed Sprint on a general inquire and asked about the 2.2 for the Epic. the response was that the "device" had no release date and to check back frequently on new device releases.

they actually thought i asking about a phones release. lol :confused:
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
They absolutely do not. I called a while ago because I was stuck on dg17 and I couldn't update OTA. I spoke with a rep and at first she said the new version isn't out yet (I assume she was talking about froyo). After I explained that I know froyo 2.2 isn't out yet and I actually have an outdated version of 2.1, she did a 'search' and was like, your your phone shows that its up to date. I said, no, I'm actually like 3 versions behind everyone else. Di18 is the current baseband version of 2.1 on the Epic. Then she put me on hold to bring a tech expert on the phone. He not so kindly told me updates are handled through the manufacter and I need to contact them. At that point I realized xda is the only way to go ;)

I cleared the cached the second time ( not data ) and switched on WiFi and all the images are now high quality again... but when I return back to 3G/H... some of the images are still showing high because of the cache... but any new images I've not seen before ( since the last time the cache was cleared )... show low quality again

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULoveAriana:
Umm well I'm not sure why you're having problems with any update, someone who's far more experienced can maybe tell you but as far as roms I think it depends on whether you like sense or wanna go froyo. Cyanogen mod 6.1 stable (2.2) is nice & highly customizable however there's also AOSP roms (2.2) that some people feel is quicker than cyanogen however they aren't as customizable as cyanogen, in addition there are tons of GREAT themes for both. Also we've had a ton of work on an odex AOSP gingerbread rom (2.3) not yet stable but works good for most & on that note a great themer also put together a themed AOSP gingerbread rom (2.3) that looks good & about stability I'm not so sure on but I would recommend those roms. Although with these roms YES you will lose sprint apps like TV & vvm etc. However people have posted these apks in the theme thread section to work on roms like cyanogen & AOSP. If you do like sense roms there's a couple that are still live in the development section like nfinite & nfx I believe. Hope some of that info helps
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkblots:
Thanks so much for your response. So Cyanogen mod 6.1 stable (2.2) is highly customizable... That's good.

So let me get this straight. I need to:

root (is one-click OS version specific? Can it be used on 1.5?)

backup

save to pc

update to 2.1 (if I can, and it needs to be the rootable version found here)

re-root

and flash Cyanogen

and setup

Is this correct?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ULoveAriana:
Sort of. I can't remember which version I was at when I rooted but I remember I downgraded to do it. But if you go in the development section you will find a thread that shows & gives you what you need to root. So you should root. Then flash a recovery image such as clockwork mod or amon ra. When I rooted I used the recovery from the downloadable app (Rom manager) in the market & that one was clockdwork mod. It's worked great for me so I've been using it ever since. Then backup whatever you are running currently. Then flash whatever rom you want. I'm about to see if I can link you to a root thread then once you do so I can give you a dl link to cm 6.1 stable. Will you be able to root on 1.5?? I don't completely know...

Edit: Ok this is the way I rooted mine, hopefully this will work for you

[HD2 General] STHNS:
OCing 1st gen of snapdragon which use higher wattage and scaling to 1.5mhz is bad bad idea. Make stable profile for your mCPU with SetCPU with max: 1.2mhz/avg: 768mhz/idle: 640mhz you wont have any problems. Had no issue with HD2 OCed 24/7 for months with LeoCpuSpeed back when it was out. Just use common sense and don't OC if you don't need it.
[HD2 General] FireDemonSiC:
Wow/ Thanks for all the words of warning guys.

Is this an issue with increased heat due to the higher wattage draw? Because one thing I have noticed strange about this HD2 is it seems to run alot cooler than my last one. My last one would get as hot as 104F. This one I can barely get to top 90F and a cool to the touch back of the phone confirms that.
[HD2 General] STHNS:
Well more current = more heat, as its basically supplying more to scale the frequency. But my question is what is it that you do on your end that needs 1.5ghz OC? Top of that on HD2 thats insane, don't say you are gaming.
[HD2 General] FireDemonSiC:
LOL not at all.

When you've been dabbling in overclocking since you were 14 and have gone as far as phase change cooling, you have an appetite to push things to their extreme limits.

I use to be like that lol held records in extreme overclocking forum but for my usage I hit my limit with quad core and stopped as any upgrade from then on for me is overkill as thats another matter not subjected to this forum.
