[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Hey guys, I was just wondering where everyone goes to read their news, and also trying to get other options for good tech-related stuff.

Typically I'm on Engadget, and while the site is usually decent, the last few months some of their articles are clearly being written for the Apple/Android trolls, it's a bit disappointing that they seem to post stories just to rile up the rampant trolls and get page views.

Of course, I've also used Gizmodo, but they seem to even worse as far as posting about anything and everything related to Apple and giving Android-related news the shaft.

I use MaximumPC magazine Maximum Tech's websites. They do a great job to test, review and are not so biased, although they are very Microsoft friendly. They recently reviewed Win7 Phone vs Android and gave Win7 the win because of battery drain and ease of use, but to me the customization and the thousands and thousands of apps on the market make Android much much better than Win7. I can't say for sure because I have never used it though.

Engadget is the best out there, IMHO. However, I also have Electronista (for more dry numbers reporting) and Gizmodo on my RSS feed. Gizmodo has gone seriously downhill in the past year and while I continue to read it for the off the wall stuff they dig up, their gadget coverage and especially commentary is now trash.

I highly recommend listening to the Engadget podcasts (I listen to Classic and Mobile) as well as watching the Engadget Show. They are funny, informative, and well produced.

This thread is OT by the way.

Hello..anyone can teach me how to overclock xperia x10
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlz:
Bootloader is not unlocked. It's impossible at the moment.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokbiel:
First, you crack the bootloader.

When you've done that, I'm guessing you allready figured out how to OC the CPU ;)

Sent from my FreeX10i beta2.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
For now just use the overclock widget. set top two settings as high as you want up to 998 click on off screen frequency. set between 246 and next number you choose. set at boot save. define settings at what mhz you like and experiment. do not run on screen and off screen freq at max. i have had my battery sweating and even plugged in all day and not gained a single % of charge. until boot loader is cracked.... this is all you can do.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perceval from Hyrule:
Although it's impossible today because of bootloader, note it's always dangerous and not great to overclock embedded cpus.

You can't overclock a lot, as you have a battery (X10 works about 5-10 hours with full speed - 998MHz), and the CPU only has passive elements to cool. Overclock can damage your CPU and your motherboard, stress all elements and low your battery life (battery charge and cycle of charge). (Even there's a self shutdown when too hot)

You can get an idea of overclock on Nexus forum, as we have the same CPU (Snapdragon 8250) - I saw overclock up to 1300 MHz, but it's really not looking safe to me :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satAxOnic:
Thanx everyone..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiscidtox:
Depends also on the voltage (as long as your voltage isn't increasing as you overclock, it isn't really that harmful as long as you watch the heat), and what you have your underclock speed set to with screen off (as this can in some sense reverse some of the possible "damage")...

I had my htc hero overclocked to 710 with the screen on, and underclocked 176 with the screen off and it ran a lot better.

I digress, I see no purpose in doing so when you already have a 1ghz processor that is super fast. I only really see a point in overclocking if the possible benefit is greater than the possible harm, and in this circumstance, I really don't think you would see that much benefit.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
I have seen considearable difference when maxed out. however the dangers are high of overheat. ive done it once and onetime only. kept on and off screen at 998 and hat it plugged in all day with out a single gain of battery. it was like on life support and was hot enough the phone was sweating even when sitting next to a fan blowing on it constantly.:-( since then i have made adjustments to run between 700 and 998mhz on screen and min 246 and 400mhz when screen off.

if looking for better performance without the overclock and good drain of battery, download and install sysctl from market and follow settings below.

OC can damage yo device. Id say its better to hv a lil slower device than a dead device ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewddickey:
Not in all instances. Depends on the quality of the chip. Lot of chips are capable of handling higher speeds and temps but are set lower quality assurance.

For instance, I've got a NookColor that has base CPU set at 800MHz and is now overclockable to 1.2GHz

We'll have to do stress tests on some to see what they're capable of.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrmshadow:
Agreed.

My Motorola Defy has a Omap3630 that comes at 800MHz,stock but can be easily overclocked to 1.3GHz without a sweat.

Just depends on the chip's capacity of "Stress".

While I was taking a dum.. I mean i was sitting down I started wondering if it would be possible to flash the vibrant with window mobile 7. Is it possible?

[General Questions and Answers] sW333t11:
Hello,

I need some help with my evo...i have it running on the fresh 3.5 ROM and netarchy-toasts kernel, latest version and all. I am overclocking as well, but nothing to drastic. Until recently, the battery life on my phone went into the ***** literally. Before it went 24 hours plus with medium to heavy usage. Now i can leave the screen on and literally (no exaggeration) watch the battery drain sliver by sliver. I just did a complete data wipe and reflashed the rom and kernel both in hopes of resolving the issue, but its still draining. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really need this fixed but cant figure it out on my own :/

edit: the only time this happens is when the screen is on, when the screen is off it STILL DOES drain more than usual, but nothing compared to what happens when its unlocked. My though is that an app is running in the background eating up my batter life, but i have no clue what it is or how to locate it.
[General Questions and Answers] sW333t11:
This is what the battery usage is looking like. Always Android system up at the top
[General Questions and Answers] youngkalico:
Disable your mobile connection when not using it turn auto brightness off off auto sync but the main factor is.the mobile connection turn that off when not using and u we get better battery results

What's gd for these kind of things is juice defender
[General Questions and Answers] sW333t11:
I forgot to mention that i have juicedefender installed already, and set cpu with profiles as well. one of the profiles is for when the screen is off, set for 300/300 (not accurate, but is set around that)
[General Questions and Answers] bjames23:
If its going as fast as you say (literally draining in an hour or so) I would say check your batter, try a new one. Otherwise you already have juice defender (which I tried and it really didn't do much else) so everything should be covered. Try wiping Dalvik cache, also try wiping batter stats (both are in clockwork recovery under the "advanced" tab.

Good luck and sorry if this doesn't help
[General Questions and Answers] black6218:
Hey,

Download Juice Defender and AutoKiller fro the market and watch the Magic. me and you have the same phone and same rom. Note: delete any tsk Managers ou have because they will interfere with juice defender..
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Saw this article from Phandroid earlier. Seems interesting that T-Mobile would push this update *yes, probably to shut us up* but then sit on some other updates *possibly KA7?*

Here's the read.

Samsung Vibrant Froyo Update Available Only as an Optional Kies Update, Mandatory OTA Coming Later?

http://phandroid.com/2011/01/21/samsung-vibrant-froyo-update-available-only-as-an-optional-kies-update-mandatory-ota-coming-later/
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
I just posted that thought in another thread.

I bet that's exactly what happened.

There was a lot of heat going on. ka6 is "good enough" so they posted that. Anyone complaining would know how to use kies, update and stop complaining. They'll update the masses later on with a final build via ota.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
A lot of people on here including me skippes the kies KA6 and went to 7. For me its a good build but maybe another one will follow. It seems some people are very disappointed by the update. And then we have another leak the day of the "official" makes the "we'll update later" seem real.
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
Hmm, this article definitely is giving me food for thought.

I think I'm gonna wait until the real update pops up.
[Vibrant General] guilhermedsx:
Well, they'll have to give us 2.2.1 soon, right? Or people will set T-Mobile HQ on fire.

So I'm pretty sure that KA6 is just a "to shut us up" release.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
^^ Pretty much yes.

Who know's if we will see 2.2.1. They're HQ might still start on fire if people's phones don't work after their "official Froyo" release.. lol.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Actually. Posted this in the thread that phandroid used for their speculation. :) they by using kies got the update out to people who wanted it. But the lack of source code suggest it is not the upgrade samsung and tmobile wanted to push as samsung usually lets go of the source code at the same time as the upgrade which makes this a "Here is your upgrade now be quiet" type of upgrade.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
My thoughts exactly. The source they eventually release will probably be KA7 or later. The good thing about the release is that it puts them on the clock to release source:D.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
yeah, but maybe a lot of people will still be happy for the ka6. It will be a huge impact to them.(people who don't flash custom roms)
[Vibrant General] swehes:
I agree. It is good they released it. But it was because of the bad press. If it wasn't they would have released the source code by now.
[Vibrant General] wrxpirate:
File this under conjecture:

Just talked to a t-mobile mobile rep who owns vibrant and said he didn't download froyo because gingerbread will be released ota in the next 4 weeks. This is why froyo isn't a mandatory upgrade.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
So funny :)
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
Why don't they train their reps on the phone to just STFU lol.

They constantly just give out false info.

Yes I know I can not know for a fact that what that rep said is a lie. But we all know it is...
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Really? My uncle said the same thing, that's crazy!
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
Those damn T-Mo reps are at it again 8|
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Okay so if you release a update (froyo) you MUST release a source code? I didn't know that, I though they choose to do that, lol I learn something new everyday on here.

Gingerbread in 4 weeks? Doubt it, froyo isn't even working right yet, if anything Gingerbread will be on the Vibrant 4g..
[Vibrant General] richiehd:
Since Android is free code, you have to release the source of everything non-proprietary that you've done to it.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Right, so in a few weeks they'll release the Vibrant 4G, their new flagship 4G phone, with Froyo, and at the same time they'll update the original Vibrant to Gingerbread? I... just don't believe that.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
These phones finally support necessary Exchange policies. It was a necessary update for business users. The Exchange client also isnt killing the battery in half a day anymore.

I do wish they had kept the Android keyboard in it, though :(
[Vibrant General] nyc3:
There is a topic over at the tmobile forums where someone got off the phone with a rep saying that the rep swore that they where not getting an update yesterday. The dope then tried the tech support online and they repeated this.

2 hours after this brillant topic was created we all had the update that 2 REPS said we wouldn't. Point of this story? STOP POSTING THESE FRIGGING STORIES THEY ARE NEVER RIGHT

You actually need it LOUDER than the maximum? What the hell.... The max is way louder than my old iPod went and that thing's max was too loud
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockehill10:
Try PowerAmp. It really increases both the headphones and the external speaker. Open the program, go into Menu/Equalizer, then you'll see a button labeled "Pre", open that and you will see a series of presets. Look for the "Phone Speaker (Loud) and click on that. You should definitely see a major increase in loudness.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksidirt:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokedUp:
this has been my #1 gripe about this phone since day one, also the stock music app is so boring but anyway..... Unfortunately I have never found a solution. What I did do is format all my mp3's to 320kbps and up and bought a pair of super bass sony earplug headphones, the ones that have a shiny color (ex: gold, silver, red) Now when Machinehead or Tool are killing it I just turn the volume up to max and its almost enough to rock out. You would figure HTC could fix this kind of easy and yet here we are.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
It seems not many people have this problem. I have a pair of cheapish headphones and you can hear them across a room when its 3/4 Max volume.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTekk:
The problem isn't the phone, it is the headphones themselves. The headphones impedance is too great for the phone to handle. For example, I own a set of Beyerdynamic DT 770's. The impedance on them are 250 Ohms. Not able to really get them loud but plug in my Denon buds that are 16 Ohms and the difference is night and day. Don't blame the phone. Want it louder? Get a portable amplifier. Namely the Total BitHead is amazing and I am a current owner of it and use it with my DInc. Again, it's not the phones fault or HTC's fault. Get new headphones or use an amp.

[Captivate General] apexofservice:
Just got my captivate today.

I'm a noob at mobile phone dev, but I've been using linux as my primary operating system for years now.

I'm trying to root the phone.

I've attached the file that I used.

I mounted the phone as a mass storage device, it showed up in /media as /media/6F...

I copied the file (attached) to the top level directory of the mounted device and named it update.zip.

I rebooted the phone into recovery mode (using the hold down all three buttons method). I select "reinstall package" and get this error:

"assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-I5800" || getprop("ro.build.device") == "GT-I5800" || ..."

There are several other disjuncts in the statement, it seems to be trying getprop for "ro.product.device" and "ro.build.device" for GT-I5800, GT-I9000, and SGH-T959.

Then I get the error message and exit with status 7, installation aborted.

I'm guessing that I'm having this problem because I've got the wrong file for this phone, since the wiki seems to suggest that the att captivate is actually an SGH i897.

So, questions are:

*should i go get a different file, or edit the one I have?

*if the former, where can i get the file? if the latter, does anyone have instructions about what needs editing?

Thanks to all, I'm really looking forward to learning all about linux on my mobile.
