This maybe inaccurate but I have a reasonable idea of what it is... it's just hard to explain.

If you look in the system/app and system/framework you will see the filename.apk along with it's counterpart filename.odex. With a deodexed rom it places the filename.odex and converts it to filename.dex (not odex) and places it within filename.apk. But most importantly the framework MUST support the deodexed files! If the framework is looking for filename.odex files that aren't there you will end up in a bootloop. It just won't work. But the benifits of having deodexed files is that it's easier to theme and replace. In some cases you can take a app.apk and replace it with differentappfromdifferentrom.apk. When you have a odexed rom you just can't do that.

You will notice that many themes and modifcations will not include support for odex roms so having a deodexed rom is definitly the way to go!

Some people have argued that having an odexed rom causes your device to perform better! But I have never noticed any difference personally and frankly I'm skeptical. Tasters choice.

Hello, just need to know should ext scard be in the phone while rooting with superoneclick? I have read somewhere not to mount sdcard while rooting. What does that mean?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fautpasycraindre:
I've unmount mine while using it without problem. Superoneclick check for all mounted disk and it could damage your SD.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
SO you mean to say remove the memory card while rooting with superoneclcik?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fautpasycraindre:
That's what I've done, and I works perfectly. I would advise you to do so.

(Thanks to superoneclick ;) )
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy27:
Ok, thanks for your reply
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
When you plug your device into your PC using the date cable, the phone prompts you to mount storage (which is what you would do if you were transfering files to and from your SD card). When you are rooting using SOC you would plug in using the data cable and ignore the prompt to mount.

Hello all,

What would cause the build in contact won't update ?

It synced okay at first time where I got now many contacts in there, just that any new contact I add from now on either in my web gmail account or in the handset Defy., the defy won't update.

Thanks!

Morning!

Not that I am one to dance on graves or imply than someone is 'gettingonabit'....but the inevitable truth is that our little Hero's have been overtaken by newer, faster and more powerful models with smaller chins.

So with upgrades, including mine, looming I'm asking... What handset will be next? Why that handset? Or will you be waiting for something even shiniererer to come out?

I for one am being drawn to the Desire Z although I'm not that keen ok it's looks. My ideal would be an Android version of HTC 7 Pro.

Ever since I was literally mugged of my T-mobile Vario, I've really missed a physical keyboard. I'm also hoping for something with a decent battery life, so the Desire HD has fallen like Naomi Campbell in high heels and is out it the running straight away.

Look forward to your replies, peeps!

Orangepeel.

*some words in this in this post were made up. A Countdown contestant I am not.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FuricTrax:
I'm starting to look around a bit right now too! My upgrade isn't due until about July, but figure unless some nice new phones come out in the next few months (which is highly likely, and they will probably have a price to boot), most of what I'll be looking at on contract is out now!

Desire HD - I like the power but not too keen on the size.

Desire Z - I like the size but it has an 800MHz CPU which is probably ample for my needs.

Galaxy S - I really like HTC Sense, infact it pains me I use a custom ROM on my Hero because Sense is just too slow for me.

I'm even considering a W7 phone - maybe, but I really love the customisability, and geekyness of the Android phones :)!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] etherspin:
my next handset doesnt quite exist yet. I'll retire the hero when I see, dual core, notification light and either a slide out keyboard or a screen above 4.1 inches .. Im hoping htc will bring it.. think I will avoid moto almost regardless as I enjoy custom roms which have kept my hero fresh, to be honest Im upgrading because I cant type easily on the smallish screen/ with lack of physical keyboard.. love the phone otherwise
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tfn:
I decided to take the plunge to WP7 and bought a HTC HD 7 on O2 pay as you go ..as I had never used a Winmob phone before

I love the Big screen and gaming is good although pricey

The phone has problems with the sound and camera but otherwise is a lovely phone

Also being WP7 the apps are slowly trickling in so have to be patient.

My Hero is due for upgrade around 2 months time

so the options I am thinking about are

LG Optimus 2x - Dual core

Motorola Atrix - Dual Core

Nexus S - all for the love of google and front facing camera

Samsung galaxy S - front facing camera

Desire HD - or if Htc comes with any new phones

Nokia N9 - If its worth it

Nokia N8 - Was a nokia fan all along untill Htc came up :)

Iphone 4 - ZZZzzzzzzzz

I hope HTC seriously comes out with New phones or even Nokia love them hardwares

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc has also, today, just taken my interest too! Due for around March/April release, looks nice, has Android 2.3 and a descent camera by the looks of things!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Metal_Scheich:
I am waiting to see which phone takes Feeyo :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Coedy:
My next handset doesnt exist yet :(

I want something the same size as the HTC Hero.

Bigger battery (1800amps+ would be great!)

1ghz ish (Not dualcore!)

dedicated gpu would be nice but dont care too much.

I dont care how fast it is (rooting can always get them faster ;) ) but I want the battery to last well before I root. That way it will get even better! :D

Also with a good Dev community... In fact put that to the top of the list after the past 2 days clusterfuck.... >_>
[Hero, G2 Touch General] saj222:
Heh, heh. I know you probably made an honest mistake but damn... I would love a cell phone battery with 1800 Amps! :-) It would last FOREVER. ;)

At work I do testing of electrical utility grade equipment. Our 2000 Amp transformers are so heavy I can barely move them. :eek:

i have hero magic galaxy and epad.

galaxy is beautiful gadget

epad is slow and bad touch. epad is helpful mostly big.

did magic then hero then galaxy. galaxy not as much systems then hero sadly.

best is galaxy with games!

:o
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dkelley:
which galaxy? I've read that galaxy S has lots of aftermarket roms available but galaxy captivate has issues running anything over 2.1 (like, it can even burn itself out!?)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mikeyd85:
Atrix is coming to Orange... I'm going to struggle avoiding it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zagielek:
Hi. Hero is my first android device. I am using it for more than a year and I have started to think about replacing it with something new. First of all I want to say that hero is a brilliant device and I am very happy that I have bought it in september '09. Secondly, I expect from my next cell to have a bigger screen with a bigger resolution, better CPU, more memory and ... a camera flash light.

The DHD is a very nice looking device but it is too big and the battery is weak.

Galaxy S is too shiny and plastic, but the gaming performance and speed is WOW! However it is a Samsung and I have bad memories with them.

So a perfect replacement for my Hero would be the Desire, but .... Motorola and LG are making a big performance leap forward with their dual-core devices. So buying now a Desire wouldn't be smart, cause in a year's time it will probably be like my current hero (quite good, but with many limitations).

So I am looking forward to MWC where there will be announced a replacement for the Desire and I think that will be my next android device.

Sent from my Gingerbread Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch General] FuricTrax:
@zagielek

You took the words right out of my mouth!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Explosive_Cornflake:
Something I am looking for in my next phone is ANT+ compatibility. Sony Ericsson is the only one announced so far, but I am not keen about them. A samsung or a HTC would be nice. I'm on my 4th HTC at this stage.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] orangepeel:
Well following MWC nothing really grabbed me.

There are three phones around that I would consider but:

Desire Z: is just a bit crude design wise for me; two tone grey, patches of metal etc. Plus the spec will quickly get dated.

Pro 7: Nice tough looking phone but Windows OS. I would actually consider it but just can't see it having the flexibility and apps of android.

Nokia E7: LOVE the form of this handset. If the little green android was running it I would get it in a heartbeat. But sadly it's Symbian, although a new version, I'm really not sure I'd be happy.

So generally feeling at bit miffed- right handset with wrong OS or wrong handset with right OS.

Might have to consider giving up the keyboard :(

Orangepeel.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Benzal:
I'm thinking Nexus S or Galaxy S2...

One thing for sure is this time I'm not tying myself up in a 24 months contract...

In a lot of cases it can work cheaper taking a monthly rolling contract (costs vary between £10-£20 instead of your general £35) and then buying the phone separately. With this option I would however have to downgrade my ambitions...

I could always go for a Droid X HD10 lol...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] minshell:
im going to get a galaxy s 2, really wanted htc to bring out a new device to compete with samsung and lg's new phones
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puppyko:
Still looking out for what my next handset it's going to be.

Hopefully, it will be lot's of fun (that is, not bored) like Hero, where there's lots of community forum support and plenty of ROMs available from developers every few weeks/months to flash :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] etherspin:
woooop , there it is .. The Evo 3D will do nicely when there is a GSM edition. notification light (massive plus in usability .. as hero owners can appreciate, if not, try using a phone lacking one) dual core 1.2ghz processor, 4.3 inch screen and ... 2 5 megapixel cameras to achieve 3D shots , 3D screen at retina matching pixel count.

the optimus 3D was nearly a winner but HTC has been far more reliable and of course, has a notification light . hero for another 3-4 months I reckon.
[Legend General] Papaniz:
Hey guys,

I have a few questions about unrooting my HTC Legend, just in case. So I went to the thread "Easiest way to unroot HTC Legend" and it was a straight forward guide. I just have a few questions. The guide gives you a link to 1.03 software version, and 2.03 software version to unroot to, and all you have to do is reboot your phone while holding down the DOWN volume button. If I were to unroot (Just in case for emergencies) I would choose to roll back to 2.03 software. I'm on software 3.15 and was just wondering if this will roll back successfully to the stock ROM for 2.03? Will my stock ROM after unrooting be Android 2.1? Will my phone's radio version change? That I don't want at all. Just wondering because if for emergencies I need to unroot my phone then I need a stock ROM and software number that are out here in Canada, currently my phone has Froyo which isn't out for us yet. I wish I could put up a link but I can't, I was told before I'm not allowed to. But what I explained about the guide is everything you need to know just in case you don't. Thanks for the help guys.
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
I'm not sure about the firmware given in the guide, but those RUU files usualy contain radio too..It can be extracted from it, but I think that radio from froyo might not work with eclair rom you'd roll to...But as this is just in case, I think you have plenty of time to find out ;)
[Legend General] Papaniz:
Actually the Froyo Rom I got didn't have another radio file in there, it kept the one I had with Eclair, so I'm sure it'll work. But what is a radio file do? I actually forgot to ask that, I always knew that it's needed but I actually don't like it when it gets changed, just because I was told if I flash the wrong radio, my phone will have problems. What happens when you change a radio file?
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Anyway, there are versions of radios that do not work with certain ROMs and vice versa...

Radio image is an intermediate between android system and a GSM/CDMA/3G (phone) hardware...it is referred to as a RIL (Radio Interface Layer) it sort of acts like BIOS on PC, just between certain hardware and in your phone's software...

And yes, if you flash a wrong radio, you legend can act up like not being able to make a call or establish data connecttion, no wifi etc...

As Canada doesn't run GSM as far as I know, I'd be very carefull about radio firmware.(most radios here are WWE or Vodafone UK based and I'm not usre if it'll work out there ;) )

You can check the zip files you update if they have radio update in them - easiest way is to remove the radio.img and re-sign them...
[Legend General] Papaniz:
I actually used an RUU to root my phone that was WWE, with "Theunlockr.com" and it was used to downgrade. So I think WWE would work. If I use a Nandroid backup and something goes wrong such as wrong radio version, and restore the Nandroid backup, will everything go back to normal? If that's the case then there's not much problem in taking a risk. How do you know if the radio version if right for the mobile carrier though? I'm guessing that's the hard part of updating software? :/
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
My push notifications from thirdparty apps and live tiles stop working very regularyly which is a shame since the platform heavily depends on this.

It fails to open a channel etc.

Is microsoft fixing this bug in the os? Since now they say yeah just do a factory rest and it should be fine. But i dont wat to lose my settings.

And a restart temporarely fixes it but after an hour or so its terrible again.

or are the ms servers just over crowded already? I dont like apple but my dads iphone just kept working while mine stopped receiving the toasts

...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sulphuricaciduk:
Toasts and tile updates come from the app developers servers, so depending on the platform they use there may be some down time. The Beezz twitter client occasionally stops working, but it's a free app and not ad supported so we should be lucky it has toasts and tile notifications at all.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
not really since tested with the same apps at the same time. Its probably because it goes to the ms servers and fails to deliver timely. Also the unable to open a channel is not related to their servers i believe? Its related to a channel not able to open on the ms servers. Downtime should probably be equal when using the same apps on ios and wp7 sending out to each other, the messages do get delivered in app just no or really really delayed notifications. Like 20 minutes and then it just works normal for a while.. Then stops again. Other than this i really like the platform.

So i wonder does anybody else experience trouble? And which is the program you use which seems to be stable all times?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylopath:
I'm experiencing the same troubles on my omnia 7.

Following programs do have some problems:

-Fim: Unable to open the channel - push notifications don't work anymore.

-TextMe: Push Notifications sometimes work - but with a delay of approx. 20 minutes

Following programs don't have any problems:

-Hotmail

-Messenger by Miyo

----------------------------------------

This is really annoying - since a "usual" restart of the device doesn't help, i think i will have to do a hard reset (i wonder if this will help at all). But i don't want to lose all my settings, installed applications, short messages etc. So this really is a PITA.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
hardreset, would that really help? I think it wont really help. I have the same phone same apps and same problems also with tigertext send to wp7 and notes to tile.

i dont have the time and or want to hardreset. It might be a driver thing with the 3g etc. If nobody with other phones is experiencing this. I think hardreset changes nothig and will return to same behaviour. I will hardreset when the update comes or see if this will fix it.

20 Minutes is just strange conpared to instant on iphone and happens a lot :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Pff

Did a hardreset. Tested the push again, ait a damn thing changed besides that I lost all my settings and stuff. Its just not working right. And probably a samsung driver or a ms server/os issue....

Does nobody else experience push notification downtime? Or delays? It's just not the way it should work. IM apps and Text replacement apps can never work properly in the background with these delays... :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
@Marvin_S which apps, specifically are you having trouble with? It could very well be that the developers servers have been down or slow.

I haven't had any Live Tile problems that couldn't directly be traced back to either the app dev's server or the way they've implemented notifications. Not on my Omnia 7 nor the HD2. Afaik, and I'm pretty sure I'd have heard about it - the wife's Omnia7 is doing just fine also. Have you tried flashing the new updated ROM? That seemed to fix a bunch of data issues.

Oh, as for the 20 minute thing, I've never seen this. Beezz for example notifies me (via toasts) in about a second or so.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayonical:
Beezz has never worked for me. I always get an error whenever I try to enable push. The same happens for GReadie. I get a fail to open channel error. The weatherbug app also stopped working.

Right now my HTC hub live tile works. Its the only 3rd party live tile app I use.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
Well I seem to be running the latest version pre-installed by samsung... i asked in the omnia7 forum what kind of rom I was running.

Well the thing is, it builds up all the notifications and than releases them all after each other 20 minutes later.

Basically these apps: Textme and tigertext (which I tried later to see if it could replace textme, very kind and responsive developers btw)

Also send to wp7, which often than comes up with the failed to open channel stuff.

If this rom should rely fix it, then I will just reflash it eve though its exactly the same rom... I think it has something to do with losing 3g+ signal, or wifi drops.

I'm testing the reliablility heavily since I such problems by sending constant test messages to myself (or to the echo server) the messages are received fine, but the toast is so unreliable.

Can you maybe type the versions of your firmware so I can compare it with mine? Because its for sure not an app problem since the messages all come later from diffrent apps. My test flow is like this: Open app, send message, close, send message with the second app, close and than wait. If it takes to long, open app again, resend. Sometimes it works quite right for a while, than teribly bad.

And note that I'm from a crowded area with lots of cellphone towers and have also good wifi coverage in the places I tested it. Same apps on the iphone work without problems, I compared side by side as well.

So it might just be my omnia, thats why I would like to hear which versions you are running. Since hardreset did not change a thing, I'm starting to believe its or a driver problem or ms-servers are overcrowded. I would like to try beez and see if its diffrent, however I dont havee twitter and i guess its required.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylopath:
I don't think the newer ROM from Samsung fixes anything, because i installed it. Version 2424.10.11.1

but perhaps the region affects this problem, e.g. North-American Azure-Servers work fine while European Servers are struggling.

I personally have massive problems with push notifications since monday or so, and it's really starting to pi** me off!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v hubris v:
Hard resetting idny going to fix anything permenitly because it is not the phone it is the apps just gotta wait for and update to fix
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
Weird. I'm using Beezz, SendToWP7, uController, eBay, Weatherbug and probably a few others using toast and/or live tile notification. Beezz server seems to go down every so often, but both uController and SendToWP7 notifies me real quick.

I'm running the latest Omnia 7 ROM as people said it was slightly faster and had a better data connection - that said, I was entirely happy with the phone even before updating.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmerrey:
I did a hard reset/reinstall of my apps and such, I'm still having intermittent push problems with some apps, and with others the push won't work at all. I will say that it seems to be the same apps having the same problems, and the ones that always have worked (weather bug) still work.

I'm thinking (hoping, praying!) this is a problem simply because of the infancy of the OS...I remember the first iphone, which I bought on day one, had all sorts of problems and "gaps" in technology
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
oKe im running the latest rom since the beginning. Created fake twitter account sended a ton of messages. Crap as hell, very unreliable and today i was not able to load fb app data on 3g full bars. So it can be a phone problem on drivers with data over 3g, while 3g+ works fine. Probably euopean servers are overloaded than. Does changing my location from USA based (im dutch) To germany change the servers as well? Bc germany is much closer thus more reliable?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v hubris v:
Its the apps not the phone the apps need to be updated inorder to work on the os not the other way around
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marvin_S:
this is not the case, read my post. Has nothing to do with the apps since ALL apps behave like this, it has nothing to do with the apps itself but probably slow ms servers. So no this is really an os or server or device firmware problem and not an app. Since all notifications come at the same time all after eachother highly delayed.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v hubris v:
Apps have own servers they Sony go threw ms os is not mad for apparently apparently are made for os if apparently no work on os they need update
