Just wondering if anyone has a hack or somthing if so what kernel to get it over 768 MHz?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
Not with a great deal of luck.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user7618:
I've been oc'd up to 844, but started to get the occasional reboot. I was stable at 821. I didn't notice any performance gain, but I did see a greatly increased battery drain. Truthfully, it isn't worth it.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Im oc to 806 runs great. But like user said battery drain for real. And some apps work funny so I agree not worth it. Plus it makes my phone screen warm.

I'll just add to the other remarks. I run 768 all day, but lose stability over 800. Good luck! :p
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtran2988:
I dont think going that far up really gives that much of a performance gain though. Just saying
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AspenTree:
Not really and my phone freezes at 844 but it is stable at 825 but the same minimal performance gain as 806mhz.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dralibak:
Hi, I've read in the forum about possibility of dual boot, android as application, etc etc.. inside the windows 6.5 htc tp2 sprint..

BUT... and excuse me if I couldn't find it in the forum here.. but did try to do search already... HOW would I do a total wipe of my windows and turn the phone into an ALL android phone ?

is this possible? if you've seen a thread, rather than telling me to go search more.. i'd appreciate you pointing me to the right direction.

thanks very much.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I'm guessing you've been told to search before.

It is a really good idea, to do that before creating a new thread. Search the forum for several different search terms before creating a new thread.

With that said, here is the NAND boot testing thread. It's not full NAND, but it does completely rid the phone of WinMo.

A) it's not nearly as stable as the haret builds and B) the potential for bricking your phone goes from 0 to... some number that would indicate danger. Yellow? :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] dralibak:
thank you very much. actually i have not been told to seach before.. but with all that i'm reading about people bashing at those who ask questions that might be in the forum... i thought i'd put the disclaimer that i tried ! :)

the haret builds ... that's the dual boot i assume.. are they not as a result slower and more restricted?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
If anything the haret builds are probably faster - NAND tree isn't quite up to par, although the devs are working to change that. In some ways NAND gets updates before haret, there's just a lot of things to work out because WinMo initialized all the hardware for us - now we must initialize the hardware ourselves.

At any rate, that's probably not what people mean by dual-boot - usually when I hear those words, I think "Gen.Y" - not necessairly supported by XDAndroid, but a very nice addition. Please get help with that app in their thread.

Technically just throwing Android on your phone would qualify it for 'dual-boot', but typically people refer to dual-boot as the option to pick an OS when the phone (or computer) first starts. Gen.Y solves that problem, if you so desire it!
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
Market flash just got an update, no change log. It might now work with tegra as per what they said on their last update.

Anyone have time to check this now?
[Vega General] simonta:
works a treat! Cheers.
[Vega General] Higgsy:
dunno but people are commenting on the market, that the update broke flash.

It would help if there was a changelog on the market.
[Vega General] demonknight9:
Can you please post the apk here?

Thanks
[Vega General] Higgsy:
I don't believe this works that well, the video quality is poor compared to the current version of flash I have installed, its as if its optimised for smaller screens and scaled up, as far as I can see flash player has no settings - can anyone else comment on this?
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
Strange from my experience the quality is the same if not better and the videos loads far faster and are much more responsive to touch inputs.

[HD2 General] fastenhard:
I have an HTC hd2 running nand android. Every thing works great. Added the apn for t-mobile and apn for mms. Now it gets goofy on edge. When I make a call the phone will freeze and will ask to force close or the call will go through but it will sound real bad where you can not understand what they are saying. Every thing else works on the edge. Text works the data works. Is there any thing I can do to fix this. I wouldnt mind a new Rom. Can some one give me a link to a good Rom. One that dosent have tethering issues or any other problems. Thanks for the help. I just can't find my problem any where.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silashack:
I noticed a few users here in PERTH on Vodafone are having issues with 3G, some may not know they have them, but the result is the same.

Calls going direct to voice mail

Dropped Calls

Failure to Connect

There are others but these are the first indications.

My initial test is to dial either 1555 or 1512 and see if it connects.

My settings are auto on GSM/WCDMA, if I then switch to GSM only the phone works OK

My main use is in post code 6027

I am using this radio 12.35a.60.140f_26.04.03.30_M

May be worth the poll to see the numbers?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivierlee:
I'm using Optus, but had a similar experience at Perth Airport with my phone refusing to connect to the Optus network. Setting it to GSM only solved the problem.

So I tried renaming my backups on pc, since rom manager would always mess up when trying that method. Both ways I get a "m5 sum incorrect " or something like that!

Any ideas, sometimes I have so many backups its hard to tell what's what
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ocelot4ark:
ROM Manager will let you name your backups. Only thing I can think of.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkeller96:
how do you use rom manager to rename them i renamed them all with ES File Explorer and now all my backups get that m5 sum incorrect thing
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbrewington75:
Already tried rom manager to rename, if I try and restore I get the "sum "error
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
I used to have this problem. What I currently do, is as follows, using Amon_RA 2.2.1 Located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

I use the recovery nandroid backup. When I do this it creates a folder under /sdcard/nandroid/...... where ...... is the folder nandroid will create upon your first backup. From there all your future backups will go into that folder, it will be something goofy, the folder for me is Ht096Hl01177 (path looks like this: /sdcard/nandroid/HT096H101177/New Backup, rename this folder, not the HT one), within that folder will be your actual backup. Create the nandroid backup, I use ROOT EXPLORER (Paid but worth it since you can do mounted deletes), to rename the newley created backup, do not change the parent folder. Then when I want to restore to that one, I make sure I do a full wipe including Dalvick Cache. Using this process I don't hardly ever get the m5sum error. Hope that helps. I currently have 4 backups under the parent directory and I can restore them fine as long as I wipe first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkeller96:
The easiest and cheapest way is by opening rom manager and scroll down to where it says backup/restore and on the backup you want to rename you hold it and then it will give you options like delete etc...chose rename and rename it example MikFroyo_1-24-2011 when you space make sure you _ for spaces and you should not get an error I segest you make a backup and use that to test it you can also rename it by clicking back up restore within rom manager and press back and rename it like showed in the example hopes this helps I have tested both with no problems what so ever
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
I always rename mine with no issues...so far. I just leave all the numbers then start at the end like this. 2010-11-20.07.24.51 then I add -MYN-01-HB-76. Dont know if this will work for everyone. I just didnt want to mess with the file name too much

Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandelay007:
The key thing to know about renaming nandroids is that you have to be sure to leave no spaces in the names...

You can name it CM6.Jan25 but not CM6 Jan 25

You do not need to save the given name of it, I assure you.

....this is true whether you rename with rom manager, root explorer or estrongs ..... that is all you need to be concerned with, as long as you do that you should be fine....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1975jamie:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayhem_:
I just went to the Sprint Repair Center yesterday for the exact same problem and they indicated I will get my replacement on Monday afternoon.

They never mentioned anything about getting charged the insurance deductible however.

I just called 5 mins ago to check if there's any cost associated to it - he said no.

So I guess cool :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakjak220:
You said "your replacement"... I've never had to use the insurance with Sprint and just had a question.. My port is loose too and wouldnt mind having it fixed but I'm rooted

So do I have to unroot and take my phone in or do they actually replace your phone with another one?... And if I have to unroot, are you w/o a phone for a couple of days?.. thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadimo305:
Nope not at all it doesnt have to be unrooted
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
you will not get charged they will see that it is loose nad give you a new one :) trust me i went in and they had to order me a new evo. i went in with myns rom, and he even booted up my phone and shut it down like 5 times and he was like "why does it boot up like this?" i said "its a theme from the android market" lmfao! so when i got home i unrooted and waited for my new evo to come in :) hehe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayhem_:
Didn't want the hassle of getting crap about the root (just in case) so I unrooted before I went there.

They sent me home with my phone BUT they replaced the battery with a full one to get me by.

It didn't even take 15 minutes. He took the phone back to the techs.. came back and said the port is all gone - they cant fix it (which I expected anyway).

He said tomorrow I give them my faulty one and they give me the replacement.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Has this always been the policy - replace the phone rather than repair? Or is this just something that the sprint store tech's don't have the ability and/or equipment to repair. I imagine there's at least 5 or 6 solder points that need to heated to install the new port.

Is this usb issue common with certain hardware revisions, or the replacement will succumb to this sooner or later too?

[Vibrant General] BMRbrnSNRbrd:
Hi all.

I have a Samsung Vibrant that's still on 2.1. I want to get into rooting and running custom ROMs, but my first attempt failed miserably. I had only rooted the phone and played with a little bit of overclocking for a couple of days when I received an OTA update announcement. Not thinking about it, I accepted it. After that, I got stuck on the "Vibrant" startup screen during the reboot. I took the phone and flashed it back to stock using the method most use (ODIN?). Anyway, even back to stock it would get stuck in a loop of running the media scanner during startup...needless to say I had to get a new phone.

My point is that I want to get my phone more personalized but I'm a bit stand-off-ish because of my prior experience. There is a ton of terminology I'm not familiar with at all...the most I can do with a computer is turn it on and use it.

Is there a place I can go that's an entry level course in rooting and the terminology associated with it? Thanks.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Check my signature. Noob guide. If something is not answered please pm me so I can add it.

I would not use kies to get 2.2.
[Vibrant General] BMRbrnSNRbrd:
What is "kies?" Also, I've been reading through (obviously there's a lot of reading to do) but I have another question that relates to my previous experimentation with rooting:

Is there ANY way to do a full back up of my phone now so that if I ever have to go back to stock using ODIN I can go back to how my phone is now? The last time I tried I could not find the same software I had before and a few things had been changed...basically like it wasn't a true stock file.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
OK, so you are nooBie

Here are a list of things you are going need if you want to update your phone to 2.2

1. If you do not know what you are doing (which is the case) then, read

member-s15274n Noobie guide in the Bible. This will get you up to speed on the knowledge necessary to modify the phone.

2. If you decide to do the factory (from tmobile/samsung) update, then read on that process. I personally do not recommend updating that way.

3. If you update via some of the excellent roms in the Dev section (which I recommend) then read up on them Master's Axura, Jellette's Einherjar rom and Team Whiskey's Roms are all excellent and there are others YOU NEED TO READ UP ON THESE,

4. If you go with a custom rom Then you need The following programs/patches:

A. Odin 1.7 (this installs on the computer)

B. Oneclick root. (Go to unlockr.com) they have a video easy to follow and have the links for this.

C. Clockwork (Rom Manager) free installs on the phone

D. Titanium Backup (installs o nthe phone)

E. Original 959JFD 2.1 stock ROM (in case you f#ck-up) you can odin back

F. The Custom rom of your choice.

That is all you need, read up and once you get going you will maybe have questions..... Ask in the Q & A we all here welcome a new person to the forum and help them.
[Vibrant General] Xan_Kriegor:
Samsung Kies is an official program that syncs your phone to your PC. This includes downloading and installing official OS updates to your phone.

A NANDroid backup can backup everything except the kernel. When you restore this backup your phone will go back to the state it was in when you backed it up.

Remember to always read a lot before doing anything.

I'm kinda new too. I personally chose Team Whiskey's ROMs. Their guide and s15274n's Noob Guide helped me a lot. :) Have fun!
[Vibrant General] BMRbrnSNRbrd:
Thanks for the information.
[Vibrant General] BMRbrnSNRbrd:
Ok, now I really feel like a noob....I am to the phone rooting idea, but not to forums...but I cannot for the life of me find the Developers section...

[Captivate General] opcow:
I recently sent my captivate to Samsung for repair. I sent it for the random shutdown problem. I wasn't actually seeing the problem, but the phone was in the group which supposedly has the problem and since my GPS was less than good I thought I'd go ahead and send it in.

When I got the phone back it was loaded with JH7. The first thing I did upon booting was to enter the unlock code I had saved from when I first got the phone. That worked. After rooting, I dumped /dev/block/bml3 and found that my old unlock and freeze codes were visible there as well. Then I backed up /efs and some /dev/block/*'s and powered off to check my button combos.

Volume buttons + power did not get me into recovery (I didn't try the download mode combo because I assumed it wouldn't work either). I flashed a new sbl.bin which enabled my recovery button combo and then just for gits and shiggles I flashed back to JF6 using the one-click flasher. Interestingly, although my recovery mode combo was wiped out as expected after the one-click JF6 flash, I still could initiate download mode using the volume rocker + USB, so it seems like I now have a permanent download mode combo, but not recovery.

<shrug> Maybe I have a locked/checksumed first boot loader now or something.

GPS

All driving tests were done using Copilot.

These obviously aren't good comparative before and after or modem vs. modem tests since I didn't do the same tests with different modems, nor did I test all modems before and after. I'm throwing in what I found using JL2 and JL3, but the main point is my KP1 experience.

I didn't really test the GPS with the JH7 firmware the phone came back with. I did try it after reverting to JF6 and it seemed as craptivatey as ever.

JL2 was slow to lock before and after the repair. I never tested tracking with JL2 (I don't really care how accurate it tracks if it takes 10 minutes to lock).

JL3 locked fast before and after the repair. Tracking prior to sending the phone in was sometimes good, but it could be horrible in areas where parallel streets were close together. Tracking my starts, stops and turns was very good so long as the streets weren't tightly packed. I haven't tested JL3 tracking since getting the phone back and I probably won't unless I find something wrong with KP1.

KP1 wasn't tested before sending the phone in (it wasn't available). Lock speed with KP1 is very fast (generally a matter of seconds). I drove though 2 areas which have pretty much always given everything else trouble tracking and it was perfect. I also tested walking and using the satellite imagery overlay in My Tracks and my postition appeared to be spot-on. I walked toward a double track trail, stopping in the center and my position shown on the satellite image looked to be within a couple of feet.

[Captivate General] opcow:
It's a 1008.
[Captivate General] fractaline:
1008

TESTING DOWNLOAD MODE

i bought my first captivate on ebay it hasen't arrived yet but i noticed after the fact that it is a 1008 (in the photo of the imei) i've since been full of panic because of the possible lack of button combos. i'm eased by the 3 button fix and now the one click to stock with fix. so i don't feel so afraid now. but i want to check it SAFELY..... i did search and found that in recovery you can select reboot but in download it says do not turn off target. so seeing that some of the worst brick situations are from interupting download mode , i felt the need to cofirm a safe way to exit download mode when testing.

a little paranoid maybe but all i've read here shows me you can't be too careful. thanks......:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Why repair and not just get an exchange?

[Captivate General] ZeroG1:
They exchanged mine for the shut down issue and I was way past the 30 day return window.Did it through AT&T, not samsung.
[Captivate General] opcow:
I didn't buy it from an AT&T store, I had had the phone for about 3 months and I had no contract nor service with AT&T, so I couldn't just walk in and demand another phone, but I wouldn't have anyway. I wanted a repaired phone, not just another broken one.

[Captivate General] shoman94:
Question.... how long to you hold the 3 button to get into recovery
[Captivate General] opcow:
About 3 seconds after I see the AT&T logo.
[Captivate General] shoman94:
See... I have a 1008 model and for me to go into recovery mode.... I hold all 3 down..... it shows the logo and I keep holding it....logo go away and comes back again.....I keep holding it until it does this 3 times then on the 4th time I let go of the power button 2 seconds after I see the AT&T logo.

[Captivate General] opcow:
All you are doing is rebooting multiple times due to your holding the power button. Try this if you have trouble getting the timing right: hold the three buttons until you see the AT&T logo, then release only the power button. Keep the volume buttons pressed until the recovery menu appears.
[Captivate General] shoman94:
It's the only way it goes into recovery ..... I just looked into it deeper. I have to hold all three down and keep holding it thru one cycle.... it boots again then let go of the power button 2 seconds after AT&T logo appears....

No matter what on the first cycle..... it won't appear... it will boot up instead
