[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
dude! your phone is something seriously wrong. most of the XT720 users don't complaint like this.

I've compared my phone with Nexus One (Running 2.1) and to my surprise, Nexus One is way too sluggish.

Moreover, you're comparing the phone with devices running Android 2.2 which obviously performs better than 2.1 regardless of hardware (just compare two Nexus One running 2.1 and 2.2 respectively) . So, wait till Dextor finished porting android 2.2 and compare again. you'll be surprised. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] ghuk:
hmm now I'm confused, half says that xt720 is a good phone, the other says it's sluggish and lags. hmm. I still can't decide. Wave is a good multimedia phone, but I'm not using it that much because I already bought an hdtv and I prefer watching in the bigscreen.
[Milestone XT720 General] anonaye2:
Then, obviously xt720 fails for not getting 2.2 from Motorola. Depite high hopes and expectations from Dextor (thanks and keep up the good work!); no offence but the port and time-line is not guarenteed. It's a risk-factor big or small.

For similar >priced< phone, I simply cannot see any reason to get xt720 instead of the HTC Desire -- already working at 2.2 means more features/ performance out of the box. There is no need to overlock, app2sd, JIT, etc etc.

Surely we all enjoy tuning and optimizing our phones (that's why we're here!), but this is no way to expect any average person to do all that just to make the one product "slighly on par" with the other. We are paying similar price afterall.

The xt720 has better xenon flash/ 8MP camera. But, if I want to take a good photo/video, it'll be coming from a proper camera/camcorder.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
have you ever though about the radio bands?

not all phones works on all 3G networks

maybe the OP is looking to buy a phone that works for the network he/she is using or planing to use.

that was exactly my case, i switched network and all the phones that i liked, did not work on the network, and the only 2 choices were XT720 or Nexus S

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thedarklion:
I am currently running Superram 1.5 and am trying to increase the "internal" storage of the phone. I have skewered the forums and I understand this involves increasing the Data.img size beyond the initial 256mb compaction. Using TopoResize I have resized my data.img to 1.9 GB, however, i still had access to only 256 MB. I reinstalled Superram 1.5 and tried again with a fresh data image and also failed.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please?

:confused:

Is there an XML i am to edit or something so the system recognizes the change?

App2SD just isn't cuttin it.:)

Much thanks to anyone who can help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Well once the data img is used I don't think you can simply just enlarge it, it has never worked for me that way.. The only solution I can think of, is for you to get a new data image, a bigger one than the one you currently use, and restart your rom with that data img. You can find lots of Build threads with blank data images in them, eg. JDMS/MDJ. If you want to back up stuff, use titanium backup from the market.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thedarklion:
data image resizing

Firstly, that should read "scoured" lol -not skewered. And "compaction" should read capacity. Sorry, was trying out swype with XDA App.

Now, more impotently. When you say "restart your rom," you mean to just substitute one image file for another in windows and restart superRAM, correct?

I will not have to reinstall SuperRAM 1.5?

Also, since superram runs off the RAM of the device, will using a image file from a different build cause a problem?

Finally, has anyone out there increased there Image file in size via TopoResize and had success? Was it before the initial launch of your android build or after?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks all:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
I big to differ. It can be increased. I used to do that during my android SD days.

@OP, you haven't scoured "a lot" yet. Search for datai.img maker, it can resize and create data.img.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thedarklion:
Issue resolved

Issue resolved.

In the interests of others who may encounter this problem, here is the solution.

Simply get titanium backup and back up all your apps and info, then find a 2GB image from another build and substituted the old image file (data.img) with the new image file (renaming in appropriately) and used titanium backup to restore mostly everything. Titanium backup does a very good job restoring, even Astrid tasks returned, yay.

I originally didn't what to attempt this because SuperRAM is a unique build in the way it runs but there seems to be no issue.

One thing did come up, however.

I attempted to use a 4GB image as a replacement at first and that did not work.

Something about it being too large.

I read someplace that android has a difficulty with image files larger then 2 GB, can someone confirm?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thedarklion:
Resize

@Jose - I have tried using toporesize, It seems to increase the size of the data.img but only allow me to use the original 256MB. End result is ineffective.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Sorry but I did not suggest toporesize but data.img maker.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] stephenyfc:
Easy enough mistake to make, but toporesize is data.img maker. To OP (and for posterity's sake), I don't know if you tried it but if you tried making a new data.img using toporesize/data.img maker, you "should" have achieved about the same effect. Glad you got this solved though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eclyptos:
Hey Guys. How are you toady?

I come here with new problems! Probably this thread is solved but i got problem with Toporesize.

Anyway I solved why my Android crash all the time! Was the sd and now I installed few games but I will be glad to install Chainfire also but no way to go true because I do not have storage enough.

I try to use toposize to resize my data.img (inside i have many app and I did a backup) but I got this error, see pic.

If I make the fresh data.img no problem, but the Android do not turn on with "new" data.img, i looking just to resize mine without compromise it.

someone know how to do it?

what exactly is app2sd??:confused:

I am using RAFDROID ROM on a TMOUS HD2

in the instructions he said that if I am using a euro HD2 with 512 rom I should partition my sd card

so I did not do that and flashed the rom on my NAND

then when I started using apps I noticed that after two weeks usage I have only 50 MB left!!!!:mad:

so I want to activate app2sd and move my apps to the sd card..

so please I need some help from the experienced users on this great forum that can advise me about what exactly is this and how to activate and use it

thanks in advance!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] freeincolorado:
Apps2sd moves your apps to the sdcard, usually to an ext 3/4 partition. I don't know about the ROM you're using, but on the one I use (mdj's Cyanogen 2.6), you can move apps to external storage like this: settings --> applications --> manage applications. Then select an app and there is an option to move to sdcard.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LiFE1688:
@freeincolorado, the method you described is not A2SD+, that method is called move2sd.

A2SD+ puts the dalvik cache as well as the applications in a EXT2/3/4 partition, usually called the sd-ext partition. This method will still show you that the application is in the ROM. However, the sd-ext is used instead, depending on the chief implementing A2SD+ in their ROM, the remaining ROM space is suppose to report the partition "sd-ext" free space, however, certain ROMs are not properly done in my view, and will report the userdata partition free space instead. Such as MDJ's Cyanomodgen 7+ Gingerbread.

How to use A2SD+

Usually, they require you to partition your SD Card into 2 primary partition. The first partition is FAT32 where you store all your extras, such as music, ebook, etc (Like how your SD card is presently used). The 2nd partition is EXT2/3/4 depending on your preference, most people do not use EXT2 anymore as it does not support Journaling, since data can be easily corrupted with a battery pull. EXT3 and EXT4 contains journaling feature, so when battery is pulled, data corruption is minimal.

NOT ALL ROMS SUPPORT EXT4. This is a kernel thing, so if the rom uses a kernel that does not use EXT4, then it will not read the partition.

A2SD+ has a nice feature as well, when you switch ROM, you do not need to re-install all the applications, since all applications are placed in the sd-ext folder, including the dalvik cache. However, this also includes the system default applications which might not be compatible with another rom build.

I have an 8 gig sdcard with ALL gameloft games, dungeon defenders and spectral soul, all run perfectly. I know what some of your problems are!

Dungeon defenders and spectral souls worked off the bat) unzip and viola! Gameloft games work!

Have fun looking for the right data packages! Took me a LONG time to find the right ones for each game! Especially spiderman hd (best gameloft game by the way!) 100% against pirating, seeing as that's how all multimedia venues will eventually get shut down... my aunt worked for virgin record and they were shut down here in northern cali because of down sizing due to cd burners!... ya pirating makes ppl lose jobs...

I have been playing alot of gameloft games on my g2 since i got it, including nova and now modern combat peg.

They have always run perfectly for me? currently on latest CM 7 nightly but have played on everything from miui rom, sense, stock and all the way from pre cm7 nightly to the current.

I guess try fix perm and clear data, its possible the issue relates to the sdcard you are using?

If you do a google search, you'll find here and there forum posts saying that it could be a problem on the AT&T side.

I had exactly the same problem (by the way Firefox was the only browser that still worked on 3G). I contacted a tech support through a chat on the website. It is easier this way because there will be mostly waiting and little interaction. The tech representative first restarted some service (I had to pull the battery out for this step). It did not worked, then he contacted some level 2 specialist (have no idea what's that means), after that there was Tier 3 (or Level 3 - don't remember) support, and at the end everything started working.

Don't know what they changed but apparently it was some setting that only Level 3 (or Tier 3?) tech support has access to.

Quadrant scores are harmed by rfs, the default filesystem on SGS devices.

Voodoo5 converts everything to ext4, which dramatically improves that section of the test.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Quadrant scores in the 800-900 range are common without the Voodoo lag fix installed. As Alex pointed out, the RFS filesystem causes lots of write lag, which significantly drags down the Quadrant score (if you had the full version of Quadrant, you'd see that). With Voodoo converting the filesystem to ext4, you'll see your Quadrant score practically double. Unfortunately, Quadrant doesn't use tests that are equal to all types of CPU architectures, filesystems, etc., so the results aren't really a fair comparison of real world performance.

Smartbench 2010 is much more accurate, according to everything I've read, although they're having a little trouble with it getting accurate readings on the Galaxy S series for some reason. They're working on it though, and will likely have an updated version soon that will fairly test the Galaxy S series alongside all other Android phones.

Curious if anyone has seen a similar experiance...and found a solution.

After the Dexter's Mod...(no issues performing the mod)....I was able to get market and all my favorite apps working, even skype.

Unfortunately, the following are not working

- Bluetooth stereo headset......when connecting, it goes into a connection loop and never actually connects.

- Internal microphone doesn't work. Thus, I can't use skype even with a wired headset.

If anyone has seem similar, I would appreciate any inputs. Thanks.

[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Honestly I don't know. I didn't work for me with the first dexter Mod and initially with the latest one. But I tried yesterday it logged in and worked. Never tried it with stock. You may want to try the latest dexter Mod, really no reason not to. You could always flas back to stock if the need arrised.

The the OP:

I think there are issue with bluetooth still. I was able to pair a Mini BT keyboard I had to type 0000 on the device (paired but not connected) then type 0000 in the keyboard then it would connect. Maybe there is something you need to press on the headset to finish the pairing process. This is just a guess on my part.

The internal mic works fine for me. Have you tried it with another app like sound recorder?
[A7 General] 855Elm:
