I checked your post history, and it does not appear any threads you posted in have been deleted.

Some of your posts were deleted by another mod, and I will be more than happy to explain via PM why that was, but those were individual posts as part of a cleanup.

Nobody here has time to be "biased" in favour of any one developer or another.

As Orb said, we just deal with what happens. If a thread has been totally derailed, it will just be cleaned out. As users in general, you have a responsibility to keep threads on topic, and to not flame other members.

Sometimes people ignore this, and that is when action is taken.

Deletion of posts is the standard procedure, and I can't see any threads that were removed. If you wish to raise specific concerns, send a senior mod a PM with the details, and we can find the thread and see what happened.

I flashed the kernel over my DL09 rom, and I just had a weird feeling it wasn't enabled, so I downloaded the "reboot button" app from the market and it said voodoo was disabled.

Also, under "about phone" it says my kernel is "2.6.29"

Did it not flash for some reason?
[Fascinate General] Powell730:
the kernel always says that.. until they are able to update it to .32 when we get froyo. if you boot into recovery by turning off the phone and then holding the vol +/- button and power then release power when samsung logo comes on what color is your letters?
[Fascinate General] brian85:
Hmm...guess it flashed correctly. I'm in recovery and the letters are red and it says "voodoo lagfix recovery v2.5.1.x"

Weird that it was disabled though...could it be because I had a voodoo kernel before and used adrynalyne's auto uninstaller?
[Fascinate General] s44:
You probably still have a disable_lagfix file in your sdcard's Voodoo folder.

[Legend General] zukа:
Hey guys,

I've got a question for those of you that have rooted your devices and flashed custom ROMs. Pretty much the only thing i dislike about the legend is jerky scrolling and laggy pinch to zoom.

I haven't seen this answered over in development because all discussions about ROMs seem to be centred around benchmarks, SetCPU variables etc. I'm interested in real world performance and I don't really want to go through all the effort of learning how to root the device and flash a custom ROM (either Blay0's or Paul's Modaco ROM) without finding out if it improves the things I've want improved.

So, just wondering: in your opinion, does flashing a custom rom speed up the device in real world, day to day terms or is it not really noticeable? I'm curious and I've never seen this answered before

Thanks

zuka
[Legend General] morpheum.:
I use blayo's b0.6 rom OC@768 and a2sd, and it definitely feels faster than the stock rom. No noticeably lag in scrolling or pinch-zoom for me.
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
BlaY0's ROM is genuinely faster, as is CM6.1 (or CM7 if you're feeling brave ;)). It's nice to see that you don't believe in benchmarks :D
[Legend General] jo3bar:
I used b0.6 OC@768 a2sd and now CM7 #19 same OC. Benchmarks are always over 1000 (200/400 with stocks) and b0.6 offers you to get more than 1700 :eek:

I'm coming from stock 2.2 SFR had lags as hell...the improvement is general for me :)

To compare, I tried the game angry birds with stock rom and it was unplayable: now it's simply perfect with these custom roms.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintyork77:
I rooted my Vibrant and have clockworkmod but after removing so of the embedded apps with titanium backup I no longer get the notification when I have a voicemail....I dont get the icon notification at all it just shows I have a missed callll......is there anyway to fix this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bartek25:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clintyork77:
I have it backed up in titanium backup but I cant figure out how to restore it...Does anyone know how to do this? I backed it up, than I deleted it off of the phone....ut I assume if I have backed it up than I can restore it right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmh1:
Anybody ever figure this out? Lost mine too and it gets a bit annoying.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tc7276:
In TI backup goto batch, the look for restore app amd data.

Then just check the box for voice mail

Im not sure if you tried this already
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wearmaize:
Possible workaround; install google voice (many ROMs include it as a default) and set it to be your default voicemail inbox for your phone.

Google voice allows you to:

- Save voicemails forever

- Automatically transcribes voicemails

- Email alert for voicemail (and link to listen to it) along with the normal alert in the status bar

- Listen to/download voicemails on any internet enabled device

- Visual voicemail

- All normal voicemail features

I've been using Google voice for my voicemail since I made the switch to android, and I love it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBluFusion:
Hey everyone. Last week I got the MT4G. I noticed that my GPS is acting funny. I am able to get a lock on to satellites on Google Map but it has the blue circle around my location and says approximately 20 meters (on average tho I can get 10m to 60m). I am using GPS Test (by chartcross limited) from the app store which has a section that shows the GPS's accuracy in feet. Both the GPS Test and Google Maps show the best my MT4G's gps is up to 20 meter(google)/feet(gps test). This is with 6-9 satellites. I live in NYC and my HTC TyTN II worked fine (which just got stolen after many years). It was able to locate me without any blue circle or approximation.

Can someone confirm that the GPS get around 20 feet/meter on Google Map. Maybe someone can download GPS Test and share there results. I need to know if the GPS is defected so I can replace the phone before the return period ends.

PS: I originally rooted it. Then used CM7 for a day. Tried to restore back to stock using clockwork mod 3 but that failed multiple times (i had 2 backups both failed) so I restored it using Football's Glacier_TMOUS (ROM). So I'm back to stock, not rooted (as of now). -This GPS issue exisited when I got the phone, after root, after CM7 and still exist. I know others have reported a similar issue, but I dont know what to do. (i am lucky to have the good screen, and really dont want to have to return it and gamble for a good gps and a good screen).

Many Thanks in Advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
as long as the ring is small your fine. GPS isnt exactly accurate down to the last foot or inches. honestly i think anything within the 5-25ft range is pretty normal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teejeaux:
Guys, I'm really starting to get seriously annoyed with my Captivate. I'm having multiple issues with it. I've got the "Power-Off" issue where it turns off when in standby, which has caused me no end of problems. I also am finding that I have to remove and re-add my Exchange account pretty regularly. It stops receiving mail, but doesn't give any errors. I can remove the account, and then re-add it, and it will work again for awhile. Third problem is that when I try and access Exchange mail from the quick toolbar at the top, it invariably crashes the Email app. These are all things that HAVE to work for me to have this phone. I was going to wait for Froyo to see if these things get fixed, because I really don't want to return the phone. I've put money into Zagg protection shields, and have all my contacts on here. Yes, I know I can back them up and do send the shields back to Zagg for replacements, but I'd rather not have a refurb phone. I'm quite seriously thinking about going back to the dark side and getting the iPhone 4 when Verizon comes out with it.

Sorry about the rant, here's the question. Does anyone know if these issues are fixed in the Froyo release?

Thanks!

Teejeaux

I do not think flashing a rom will cure your random shut downs. Sorry, I would go warranty exchange
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Power off issue is NOT a software issue. U could get ur phone exchanged under warranty exchange from AT&T. I had mine replaced 3 times.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Wow, exactly the same time, and a similar reply :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born_fisherman:
+2 :-)

Some say a different battery fixed the issue.. my phone shuts off about once a week.. I have 2 batteries and it turns off with both batteries.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Not a battery issue, with the experience I had:

Phone 1: 10.06 - Replaced due to battery life too low (within 30 days) - got phone 2

Phone 2: 10.07 - Sleep death issue - Phone - Warranty replacement - got phone 3

Phone 2: 10.07 - Sleep death issue - Battery - new battery sent - retained phone 3

Phone 3: 10.08 - Sleep death issue - Phone - Warranty replacement - got phone 4

Phone 4: 10.07 - --- this is working without sleep death or charge death ---

The phone I have now is a 10.07 build.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo5111:
well, you would be at least partialy wrong :p, my captivate had the issue on stock rom, hasnt done it since i put a custom rom 5 weeks ago ;) , some people it helps and some it doesnt :p

Hello all, First time poster. Full time troll.

I have just applied the NookColor_v1.1.0.zip. Everything works great. Only issue I am having is with VPN Connect now failing to connect. I am wondering does the TUN.KO file need to be recompiled? Was hoping people more brilliant than I could help out a poor old troll!

Thanks for all the great work of the Devs.

EDIT: It seems to be a problem with busybox or permissions. From ADB shell i can not execute busybox or any commands related to it. I get a permission denied.

Thanks to Decad3nce

Decad3nce thank you for fixing this bug. VPN problem fixed.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] aatrek:
I've been on the hunt for a really slim, lightweight case for my Incredible. I have the white HTC battery cover, so I was hoping for something like the iPhone "bumper" cases that allow the back to show through. Since there doesn't seem to be much in that department, I went hunting for the closest thing: the REVEAL by Griffin Technologies.

I really really like it, and couldn't find any other discussion of it, so I did a quick video review, and also took some close-up photos. I promise this isn't an ad, I actually do love this case!

[youtube]vAV1ApFOQ0I[/youtube]

Griffin sells it for $24.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] PGleo86:
Been looking for a new case... Rocketfish 2 piece case is absolute **** and I need a new one lol

probably gonna get one of these... and maybe a white back :p

I can't really find it anywhere except griffin and bestbuy. I found one for $17.99 from one place but it had terrible sales reviews and I didn't want to risk it.

You just sold me on this so hard. Buying right now. Looks amazing with the white back, I can't wait to show it off finally, haha.

Oh by the way, check it out all. Found a coupon code if you order direct from Griffin Technology's website. The code is PIRILLO1510, it seems to have been active for a few months and you get 15% and free shipping. I can confirm it works. Hope this will help someone else out.

Nice review :) I was in the market for a case earlier in January but I got one before I saw your review. Then again, maybe if I had a cool white battery cover it'd look cooler. I still have the stock black one.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] pete_kowalski83:
I actually just ordered one aswell with the discount code mentioned above the free shipping says it only lasts til feb 28 tho cant wait for it!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mikesincredible:
whoever buys this case will highly enjoy it! thanks to the OP for a great find!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hexon:
For those who have bought this case,

How rubbery is the black part of the case? Is there plenty of flex to easily hit all the buttons? Does it feel solid or cheap?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mikesincredible:
sides are flexable... real solid feeling and slim.. the buttons are easily pressed..by far the best case ive owned..I have the SPECK, otterbox commuter, and various "slim" fit cases and this case surpasses them by far...my case shopping days are over. :)

[Droid Incredible Accessories] fp99:
Good review. How is it compared to the 'High Gloss Silicone Protective Cover' from VZ? This is the one that I have and always used for my phone. It's lightweight, front of case comes a bit around the edges to protect the screen of phone, camera lens protection is ok (not the best, since it comes close to the surface when putting the phone down), and even after I have dropped my phone several times there has been no damage to screen or phone (knock on wood :)).

thanks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] aatrek:
The biggest difference is that it's not glossy, at all. The outside is a matte finish, and the back is solid polycarbonate - no flex at all there.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] fp99:
Is there a place where I can check out the case before buying it? I just want to see how it looks and feels before buying it.

As for my glossy case, I've never had a problem with it sliding on surfaces and it always slid easily out of my pockets.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] blockhead42:
If anyone has a photo with the red back, please post it! I'm undecided between the red and the white back, and will be using this case.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] jumperalex:
I picked mine up at a Best Buy so in theory they should have one for you to fondle :)

And allow me to chime in and say I love this case too. I used to have the all silicone one but I didn't like that I couldn't attache the metal half of a magnet mount to it and I didn't like any of the hard cases because ... well they were hard and offered no real shock protection.

This case solves both issues. The hard back will hold the magnet mount and the sides are soft.

The only thing I miss is that this case lets the phone slide off my leg unlike the grippy silicone one. Then again, it was a PITA to take the grippy silicone one out of a pocket and this one has no issues. Life is full of compromises.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mikesincredible:
... this one overlaps the screen and is slightly raised..about 2 creditcard width..I didn't really like the vz as it seemed loose..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] fp99:
hahaha...I can just see it now. I'm at best buy checking out the cases and saying, hmmm I really like how this one feels against my skin...lol.

thanks for the additional info on the case.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] fp99:

There are some in the OP, don't forget.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] fp99:
I did see the ones in the OP. Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DeaconBoogie:
Okay, these cases are ****ing sick... Put ours on. The fiancee has a red battery back on her's, and I a white one. We both have been huge fans of the TPU cases in the past. I had an eBay special, a clear one, and she had the red Verizon one.

These are awesome cases! Very thin! Thin as the TPU case but with a much less "cheap" feel to them.

I'm going to try to run mine "nude" in the case without the battery back. I've got some thin felt tape that I use for small projects that may provide the resistance necessary to keep the phone from sliding around inside the case when the battery back is off.

Regardless, these cases are the best we've ever had.

Pictures tomorrow!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] kioshi:
I've read the review and where to purchase. I went into my local bestbuy earlier today and couldnt seem to find this case. They had griffin cases for ipods and iphone 4s, but nothing for the incredible...

Are these special order through bestbuy online only?

I later tried calling bestbuy but their phone service is probably the worst i've experienced, even worse than those calls sent to india for computer tech support.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] aatrek:
I bought it right from Griffin and it was an easy process with fast shipping. If your local Best Buy doesn't have it, you may need to go right to the source.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
I posted some a coupon code on page 2, that'll probably be cheaper than anyhwhere else you could find it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] fp99:
I just ordered my case from Griffin. I can't wait, let's see how it is.

Thanks for the coupon code. I'm sure at best buy it would have been more expensive and plus tax and they might even try to sell me a warranty. :) (no offense to bb employees, it's just my experience with them)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mikesincredible:
hopefully soon they will offer a variety of colors
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DeaconBoogie:
I doubt it, unfortunately... The Incredible's launch was marred by availability issues due to the AMOLED shortage. Because of that, momentum for the phone swung to the EVO and new Moto Droids.

That said, despite an assload of Incredibles being sold, there are comparably very, very few accessories for it.

I am shocked that ten months later there is anyone introducing innovative cases for this device.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Majic_One:
Looks cool. Love my black and red Speck case tho.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] pete_kowalski83:
Youre absolutely right, and this is the exact reason no stores in my city carry any accessories for this phone at all
[Droid Incredible Accessories] kioshi:
I'll probably end up doing that. I just have had bad experience with companies shipping lightweight items that take longer to arrive than EMS shipping from overseas...

I'll use that coupon code too, thanks.

Otdered mine sunday had a delivery "attempt" but mailman didnt leave a pink sheet to say he tried. Had to track it online.So i picked it up from the PO today! Im very impressed, its a step up from the silicone ones from vzw. But nothinh cheap about it at all, the silicone sides are tight like the silicone vzw cases but it just feels nicer. Now just waitin for my white batt door!

3 days sounds bearable for wait times. Does the case get loose over time? Ie: removing and putting back on again...i clean my phone every now and then.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hexon:
The rubber is more of like a flexible plastic. I don't see it getting loose over time.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] pete_kowalski83:
It doesnt seem like it would stretch out at all, it looks more like rubber than it actually is. But ive only had it for a cpl days now but ill post back cuz i take mine out to clean it at least once a wk aswell
[Droid Incredible Accessories] StyrofoamTumor:
Got my REVEAL today, and wow. This case is awesome, it fits the phone so beautifully, the side buttons are easily pressed, the rubber on the sides has just enough tackiness to give you a bit of grip, but not make putting your phone in your pocket a total *****. The plastic seems very, very strong and resistent and it looks just KILLER with my white battery cover, and damn good with the standard black one.

My ONE qualm is that there's a slight "edge" where the rubbery sides connect to plastic back. It feels like there's a bit of flash still there, however, I feel that after a month or so of normal wear and tear, that edge will just disappear.

That said, this case is 9.5/10, for real. I love this thing. Get yours now! Remember to use the coupon code I posted on page 2 and maybe click that thanks button if it helped you out. :D

I've been using a seidio innocase 2 for quite a while, but have one of these on the way. Can anyone say if this will still fit nicely in the seidio's holster?

Thanks for the coupon code. I got the case on Friday, but I've been very busy over the weekend and can you believe it that I haven't even opened the delivery box yet? Hopefully tonight I will open it and check out the case.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] TheColorRed:
I too am going to jump on the bandwagon because of all the great reviews.

Hopefully it will be better than the siedo case that ruined my bezel. :D

Thanks for the coupon code :)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] blockhead42:
Any change we could get pictures of the red back?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] fp99:
I finally opened the box and unpackaged the case.....wow, it's really nice. It takes a while getting used to since I've always used the "High Gloss Silicone Protective Cover" and I really love that cover. This case has a different grip feel to it. This case has bigger openings for charging and aux (it has really helped when listening music in the car).

I highly recommend this case. Now the only problem is....which color battery cover should I get? :)
