I (still) love my Desire, unfortunately after two weeks of usage or so the screen starts annoying me! Any live wallpaper is unusable due choppy home screen scrolling and some menus like "All Apps" or "Customize" become very slow at the bottom. At first I thought it was problem of custom ROM, but this is happening even on stock ROM, so it's probably a HW problem (GPU maybe?).

Can someone help me?

Thanks.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
HW problem? Don't think so. However, can be, but it's not likely.

I suggest to try a different kernel and if that not helps do a full wipe & reflash.

I see, that we use the same radio & kernel (except that I'm on LeeDroid) - but i never experienced that slowdowns.
[Desire General] Terepin:
Nah, coutts, CM, HTC, ziggy... All the same.
[Desire General] Nitin985:
Try changing your governor
[Desire General] Alex-V:
Maybe a ram thing .... i use (i know not all think this is good but) a taskmanager with a auto close apps widget

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire General] Terepin:
Still the same and I have plenty of free RAM.
[Desire General] mr.r9:
If your device can still play 3d intensive games without slow downs or errors then I doubt it's a hardware problem. So...Does it play games properly?
[Desire General] Terepin:
Recommend such game that is OK on your Desire, so we can compare.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Try nenamark (1.5 free in the market). I get 20.9 FPS with the stuff in my signature. So if you get more than 15 then I think it won't be a hardware problem.

Also I noticed the lag when something is installing. So can be the a2sd+ slowing down your phone.
[Desire General] Terepin:
It can't be due A2SD (read OP).

Btw, I got 18,6 FPS.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Hmm, then the gpu/cpu seems to be fine. Must be a software error.
[Desire General] Terepin:
But what SW? Every ROM and every kernel behave in the same way.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
That's what I try to figure out. So if you do a full wipe & changing ROM - Lag remains.

Changing kernel - lag remains.

Seriously, I have no idea. Usually a full wipe & reflash helps (ROM+kernel).

Can't it be the radio?
[Desire General] Terepin:
Can't be, this problem started in virgin stock ROM (I have copyright on that :D).
[Desire General] Nitin985:
Have you tried aosp roms its probaly a HTC sense issue
[Desire General] Terepin:
AOSP ROMs have the same issue.
[Desire General] gie62001:
maybe your NAND got corrupted in some way?

maybe after you install new ROM try not to restore your previous apps or system setting with neither titanium backup or mybackup, whichever you use.

however,i would assume you tried that already.

also you could try going back to stock ROM and or even HD rom which fits on NAND and try booting without SD card which maybe trying to read something and it cant.

so was your phone branded?

and when did you noticed this performance issue?
[Desire General] Terepin:
Unbraded. And I noticed it during using stock ROM.
[Desire General] hejhej.ac:
Don't know if its just imagination but i think my desire has also gotten more laggy lately.
[Desire General] donald-c:
My phone has definitely slowed down :( LWPs are pretty much unusable & Sense always slows right down at the bottom of some menus, including the app drawer.
[Android Apps and Games] sumfknguy:
I've had GMAIL since day 1.. NEVER had any issues with my account.. used it on a normal basis. Since getting into my Dinc, I've had to go through 2 account verifications with Google to get back into my account.. both times changing my password. I see that "something" has been spamming email from my account.. at first I thought it was spoofing my email address as the sender, but now I am seeing the email in my sent folder...

Question, is there an app that can monitor when this kind of activity is going on with my phone like this? It's not my computer... I forward all my GMAIL to my main email account (not gmail) so I NEVER log into GMAIL on a computer.. the only thing that is actively logged in is my phone..

Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] angel of other:
I've had the same problem, ended up restoring an old nandroid backup & reinstalling the things i''d lost.

seems t have fixed the issue but my gmail defiantly got hacked; everyone with a hotmail account got sent spam :(
[Android Apps and Games] Fenny:
Just because your email account was hacked does not 100% indicate a malicious program on your phone or computer.

For example: You could have signed up for a website or forum using the same password as your email account. If that forum DB gets compromised, then your password could have been decrypted from the sql database...
[Android Apps and Games] Brut.all:
It's possible some app has sent an email if:

You've entered your Google password to that app.

You've authorized that app for Google account using WWW (OAuth) or Android OS, but you didn't notice it requests permissions for sending emails.

You gave root permissions to that app and you have Google account set up in Android OS.

I think there is no other way to get access to your account.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus9988:
I Just got a new Mytouch 4G Black after my nexus one broke and After Rooting the phone and playing around with some roms. I find it a lil odd that I still find the Stock Rom with Bloatware much better and cleaner rom than whats out there. Seems its fast its useful and entertaining to work with.

Has anyone else felt that way about the stock rom being superior to custom roms?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
yes I do somewhat like the stock rom that was shipped. Only issue for me is I can use majority of the apps on there since Im not with tmobile. It is fairly fast and overall good performance. Ice glacier is basically same and then CM7 is nice as well. Not too many roms out there currently with the mytouch, missed the nexus one somewhat for roms. Other than that this phone is great, battery life typically two days with cm7
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:
Agreed... A rooted Stock ROM is already great as is, and so far the only customized ROM I've been happy with is Iced Glacier, Its coz its pretty much stock without the bloatware. I remember the days of the Nexus One where I had to flash ROM's 2-3x a day. whew!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus9988:
Yea I agree. I may give miui rom a go before i stick with stock and putt the buuf theme on it so it loooks like the rom came out of somthing from a gorillaz music video XD but all in all im seriously happy with the stock rom and bloatware =] it will keep me entertained for months to comee =D

Hello...

Maybe this is a silly question, but please do bear with me - I'm a newbie with Android, just managed to downgrade, root and install the Revolution HD ROM.

I was wondering - I've read about Nandroid, but the only specific thread I've found here is for the G1 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459830). Will this do for the DHD? Or is the Backup/Restore function of the ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3 the same?

Thanks in advance!

PS Android is so much more difficult to hack than WinMo... but so much more exciting :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksizzle9:
In theory you should be able to just boot into rcovery (power+volume down ) then in clockwork gobto backup and restore and and choose backup. This is how I would do it on my incredible so I assume it would be the same on another htc phone
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
Hmmm... thanks for your reply - actually I'm doing a Recovery backup as I'm typing this.

But if it's the same, then how come that so many procedures in here state "do a Nandroid backup" since the very same procedures also say you should have a recovery mode?

Thanks again :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
You can't afaik do a backup without a custom recovery.

"Nandroid" is the most common and is also used as a generic term. So do a "nandroid backup" or "recovery backup" are the same thing. They are just making a reference to the fact that you are making the backup using the recovery console (CWM e.g.) rather than through an App.

Or have I mis-understood your question?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
No, mate, that was exactly my question. Thanks for a complete and concise reply :)
[Captivate General] MagillaGorillaX:
I was looking at the phones memory and saw there was an internal sd which said 13g then theres external which i havent put in ten theres phone storage which shows i think about 1g. How can i use the internal 13g also says i can unmount it for safe removel. I dont see anything i can remove. Thanks for any info about this.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
The internal SD card is not removable. You can store data on it like your photos and videos or documents, but very few apps will install to it. Until we get Froyo there's no way to move apps to SD cards
[Captivate General] TLogsdon:
It's referring to "ejecting" it from your computer before you stop usb connectivity on your phone.
[Captivate General] MagillaGorillaX:
Thanks for the fast replys. I read somewhere that were getting the 2.2 update. Just dont know when. Thanks again
[Captivate General] TLogsdon:
I've got 2.2

Get the Phoenix Rising ROM.

I've never messed around with flashing ROMs or anything, but Samsung isn't going to release 2.2 any time soon, so I figured it out, and I'm glad I did.

Sorry if that doesn't make any sense, I've been at work all night.

Hi, i did a lot of seach in the forum and google as well to try to fix the time problem on my TP2. Every time i updated the weather or sync, the clock went one hour ahead. Y tried every Registry Tweak i found with the same results.

Finally i found the solution to my problem. It appears that WM6.5 has a bug with the DST setting. Currently i am in Argentina and here we do not have DST.

I found this update that helped me with this problem.

Additional Info:

ROM Version: 1.91.531.4 (74508) WWE

ROM Date: 12/15/09

Radio Version: 4.49.25.57

Protocol Version: 61.44tc.25.32AU

Hope this helps. =)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynotletmeusemyemailaddr:
I am a n00b humbly trying my best to read as much as I can to be able to flash my first ROM. There are some great stickies which tell me how to flash and allow me to skip the impossible task of reading the thousands of pages on the subject. So far I've rooted and installed ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, and thanks to some consolidated stickies posted by this great community, anticipate being able to flash my first ROM.

It seems impossible, however, to read enough about the different ROMs to make an intelligent choice of which one to flash. Nor can I find a sticky on the subject. I am not looking for others to put any other ROMs down, I just want to hear if anyone can give a positive recommendation for a ROM that you think is best for what I need (in order of importance):

Extremely stable on AT&T i897 (I am running stock JH7 right now). For example, I remember reading for Phoenix that there's a complicated process required to get the 850 MHz radio to work. That is not cool for my needs. I need both of AT&T's 850 and 1900 bands to work stably and without additional hacking.

Very large user base and very active maintenance of the ROM so that I know that the major bugs have been worked out (probably the same as criterion 1 above)

Great battery life (need not be the absolute best)

Better GPS than stock (I understand that doesn't take much)

Faster performance than stock (does not have to be very/blazing fast, and this is less important to me than battery life)

Good wireless tethering (I hear the "Wireless Tether" app is less than ideal because it is not visible to most phones)

Preferably would like to be able to upgrade to a newer version of the same ROM (if I choose the right actively-maintained ROM in the first place, I won't be looking to switch ROMs in the future anyway) in place, without having to use ODIN or reinstall any applications or reconfigure any settings (like my Dolphin bookmarks) every time I upgrade. I'm not sure if this is never possible, or perhaps is always possible with Titanium Backup.

I could not care less about themes, wallpapers, boot animations or anything related to look and feel. I'm by far a function over form kind of guy. Unless of course the theme, such as a dark theme, contributes significantly to battery life savings.

Thank you so much in advance for any recommendations you can provide!

Jason

try the rom in my signature.... Version 1.0

you wont be disappointed
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbcap43:
well, let me start of by saying, congratulations on posting in the correct area! you can catch quite a bit of $h.t for post in the wrong area! as far as the best ROM and well maintained, me, personally, I'm running Firefly 1.5 battery life is amazing. it comes with Mobile AP for tethering (which is extremely reliable) gps is awesome! HUGE user base, and the DEV's are understanding and will answer any questions you have! number 1 rule of flasing custom roms... BACK UP ALL INFO, I usually copy all files from internal SD and external SD to my desktop! as far as reinstalling your apps, TiBu is an awesome app, it saves a copy of the APK and the data you have with it, but it is time consuming to do a batch restore, but WELL worth it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbs11:
Yeah...I agree try Andromeda 1.0. If you are not a theme guy, then basically all the other ROMs are based on the exact same base with the exact same MODs. The only thing that really differs is a few tweaks here and there and the theme. Andromeda is build on the Armani Captivate build, and many people are finding it more stable. There is a 1.0 unthemed and a 2.0 themed. In addition, you can try out Cognition or Serendipity. Both are very stable
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
I'd look at DesignGears Cognition ROM. It's based off of SGH-i896 2.2 release in canada.

When I used it, I never had any problems with it, there are tons of additional features than stock, battery life is amazing, and it's just a much better ROM than the traditional i897 stock ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbcap43:
LOL, see everyone has their own preference! TRY THEM ALL! become a flash addict like the rest of us!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark1962nc:
Your requirements look a lot like mine. I'm sure there are many great ROMs - depending on what someone is looking for. I'm using DG's Cognition and have been very pleased! I find it to be tremendously stable, though obviously much better (and faster) than stock. Battery life is awesome. I generally end the day with 40-50% left after what I'd consider to be moderate use.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Everyone will have their own opinion on the roms they use. Also remember that the same rom with the same set up will not always run the same. Each device is different so. Sense you require such tight guidelines I would stay stock, and read each thread till you find one that you think is stable enough for your uses. There is never a promise that after flashing a rom that an issue will not pop up that only effects you and your device (seen that happen lol) Also if there is a major update to the rom you chose you may have to do a back up and restore of the apps you installed and set things up again as sometimes you just have to revert to stock (yes I know some say they never have, but then I have never had an issue other then the ones I have caused my self). Your best bet is sense you have such tight restrictions on what the rom needs to ba able to do is learn to make one your self so you will know it meets your rules.

We dont do best rom threads.

Could be some sort of malware or spam, I'm not sure.

The file date on the .apk is tomorrow too.

I'll let you guys try this out first.

Even if it's decent and legit, there doesn't appear to be any "owner" of the app, so it may never get updated. Is it a motorola product that was ripped from some phone that's out?

I believe that this is a legit music player from Motorola because I found a video on youtube from the site Mobileburn.com that shows a new connected music player on the Cliq XT.
