[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bluephantom3:
My friend has asked me to flash his phone with new firmware.

But he is on the Telstra network with 850MHz NextG so I want to keep the modem.bin file he has currently on his phone.

I would just create the firmware with the modem.bin file that he has but I can't seem to get it for download. there is one rapidfile link but it looks like it has been removed from the server and I can't seem to get I9000TDVJH3.tar anywhere.

I can only seem to get the CSC file.

If I flash his phone with Odin without that file would it just stay the same? And would I have to remove the dbdata.rfs?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
Hello everyone!

I have the usual problem with the system limiting my SMSs to 70 characters when using the Greek alphabet.... Someone suggested on the Smart Keyboard forum (http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=970&p=4484#p4484) that HTC has solved this. But for me, the problem persists in a weird way:

-Of course I type in all caps

-If I use any letters that are specific to the Greek alphabet (Ψ,Ω,Δ,Λ,Σ etc) the limit stays at 160 characters

-If I type a letter that is common to the latin alphabet it drops to 70 characters!

It's strange, but I haven't seen much talk about this issue here, though it was a big topic in WinMo discussions (WM has the same problem).

So:

-Can someone verify whether or not HTC has fixed this?

-Does anyone have a suggestion?

Using RevolutionHD 2.09 with 1.72.405.3 .

Thanks!

Anyone?.... I also tried the IME mod v27 to no avail... :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragunov:
Goodmorning my friend,

Unfortunately my friend you have to use the ACE HELLAS solution for this, which is a "top secret" info, they will never help you out with this.

Had the same problem with my previous phone (HTC Legend), and ended up using SlideIT with Greek add-on, which I remember that worked for SMS (ofcourse always caps). Give it a try and let me know.

In case you really need Greek, and you are willing to come back to ACE HELLAS stock, I can Nandroid mine when it comes back from service and upload the ROM for you.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
Good morning Kostantinos,

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply... I can't believe we're in the same s#!+ with Ace Hellas once more - it was the exact same situation some 4 years ago when I got my TytnII! Of course this is not the sign of a serious company (speaking both for HTC and ACE) since the fix should have found its way upwards and be included in the stock HTC ROMs.... but I digress.

I'm running a custom ROM, so I wouldn't want to go back to a stock one, but I guess that this could be rectified by just grabbing the relevant apk(s)?

Also,thanks for the SlideIt kb. I had tried it, but didn't remember it fixes the problem - will try again.

Thanks again, and have a great day,

Themis
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragunov:
I will let you know regarding APKs after I root my DHD, as soon as I receive it back from service (the blur picture left part camera issue).

Until then, you can also "dig" information and try the new Swype beta for DHD as well, but I dont think it supports Greek at the moment (not sure). If I find anything I will send you a link.

Yes, the problem is really frustrating, but at least the WM problem was a single HTC_ime.cab file, which worked in almost all devices. In Android it is a real pain in the arse!!! That is why I still stick with the stock ROM. :mad:

After 3 years of upgrading Android OSs, this problem should have been fixed generically, from the box.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragunov:
OK, you can try here... NOT tested, but you have chances to work :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
Thanks - I'll take you up on your offer, so please do forgive me if I bother you with a PM in a few days :)

Swype doesn't have Greek - at least didn't have the last time I tried it, so it's a no-go, but SlideIt is good enough I think - it's just that it's totally different and i happen to like the HTC Kyboard :)

Was it an IME cab for WM? I seem to remember it was a keyboard cab. And it seems to be the same here - there are messaging apps (call me Handcent) that solve it with the stock keyboard, but there are also third-party kb's that solve it with the stok messaging app! So it seems it can be fixed two-ways... If I could help in any way with digging into the ROM please do let me know!

Oh, just got a notification about your second post in a row - wow, it includes Greek! Lemme grab it, quick :D

Thanks once more mate, it's strange how not more people discuss this issue (time to visit the ACE Hellas fora again after several years I think! :D ).

Cheers

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
Ahhh yes I remembered the problem with Swype: it FCs whenever you switch languages... so kinda useless :(

[edit] and, also, it doesn't solve the 70-char issue, it's exactly the same. Gonna try SLideIt.

[Edit2] ..aaand SlideIt does the same as well.

[General Questions and Answers] mattress786:
the download link for |FrEak E Evo v3.0 does not work. anybody know why?
[EVO 4G General] Breaker253:
I apologize in advance if someone has covered this, but I discovered a nice little trick thats simple to perform and gives me roughly 2-3x additional battery life than before (if not more).

Recently I got a little fed up with my ~8hour battery life and decided to get a 3500mAh battery. Even after receiving my brand new fat battery, I was still only getting about ~16-18 hours on a charge. Well I decided to get to the bottom of this and see just what exactly was sucking away my juice.

I managed to find a handy little app named "PowerTutor" that gives a great reading of what applications are using power and approx how much. It even separates network usage from processing jobs as far as power consumption is concerned. After taking a few samples over various time frames and conditions I came to the conclusion that the biggest power consumer was actually the Google frameworks.

The simple fix to this:

Download "DroidWall", an excellent application that allows you to black or white list applications from data use. After blacklisting Google app frameworks. I saw a very significant change in battery life.

The next thing I did was grab "SetCpu" and set up a profile on event "Screenoff" to go to "powersave" mode and set my frequency 537max and 245min with a low priority. I set an additional profile for when my phone is active at full the frequency range with on demand scaling. Theres are better configurations out there I'm sure but this is just what I used on the fly. Feel free to set it up however you'd like.

I've been using my phone all weekend with moderate use (text, web, videos, etc) and now see an amazing standby time. The only problem with blocking the Gapps frameworks from having net access is that gapps specific applications can no longer update in real time. I'm a Google voice user so this started to present itself to be a problem. Luckily GVoice is capable of forwarding text to phone. And when you do that the Gvoice app will pick up the standard text as long as you have the option selected from your Gvoice account. So I just disabled standard text notifications on my phone. Now when I'm sent a text, Gvoice picks it up and I can respond with Gvoice just as nothing had changed.

Yes I already know turning your data connection would in theory do the same thing as listed above. However this way you dont have to toggle your data on and off constantly.

Hope this helps someone, if you get a chance to try this out post your results!
[EVO 4G General] brokentoaster24:
Interesting, may give this a shot
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Everything else you said has peaked my interest and so when I have time I will test these suggestions.

However, I just wanted to point out that the powersave governor locks the cpu speed to the min frequency and so there really is no reason to specify a max of 537 or anything else because the powersave governor won't allow the cpu to scale beyond the min value.

On the opposite side, the performance governor locks the cpu speed to the max freqeuncy and won't allow the cpu to scale below the max value.

If you intend on using the powersave governor and want your cpu to not go above 537 then set the min value in setcpu to 537. As I said earlier, the powersave governor will lock the cpu at the min value so if you do this you will always be at 537 during screen off.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Why set Max to 537? Powersave pegs CPU frequency to min value.
[EVO 4G General] Breaker253:
ah, didn't know that. I thought that on power save it just stepped the cpu frequency up slower and dropped it much faster. thanks for the correction :).
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
That's the conservative governor which I personally use for sleeping and I don't change the max/min values either.
[EVO 4G General] computerjunkie:
How does this affect google maps navigation, push gmail, and things like that?
[EVO 4G General] Breaker253:
Gmail seems to be pushing fine for me. Maps works also but you'll need to have gps active.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
Question for you OP. you said you blocked google frameworks. I don't use google voice, so that part won't be an issue. My question is, what else is affected by the framework being blocked?
[EVO 4G General] eventer289:
Just since I see this error all the time, the phrase is "piqued my interest," not "peaked."

From what I've experienced, clocking too low can use more battery since the cpu has to stay at the max clock for longer periods of time to complete a task, as it is not as efficient at performing it.
[EVO 4G General] Breaker253:
I've only noticed location services (not gps) blocked. Gmail seems to be receiving updates as far as I can tell. Other than that everything seems to be working as our should.
[EVO 4G General] datajosh:
Looking at the DroidWall screenshot, it appears the calendar and contacts won't sync automatically either. If it wasn't for that I'd probably give this a try.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I posted that with my evo using swype and I wasn't paying attention to the auto correct. Thanks for the correction though.
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
Going to keep my eye on this thread.... I use google calendar EVERY day, so I need that.... Anyway to unblock certain apps?
[EVO 4G General] mikeschevelle:
so if i already manually sync gmail, contacts, facebook, and gCalendar, will this still help me?
[EVO 4G General] Breaker253:
Unless you temporally disable the blocking of frameworks, calendar and contacts won't be able to update with what's NOT on your phone already. You can still use your contacts and calendar, it just won't update if you made any changes from the web and not on your phone.
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
I'm using juice defender on my ego and it seems to work great. I'm also using setcpu to knock the sped down to 245 when the screen is off. It's also set to gradually step the speed down as the battery drains. At 75% its at 844 at 50% its at 614 and at 25% its at 422. All of them have a min of 128. My off screen life is insane. In 7 hours it went from 100% to 90% with some light use and mostly sleep time. Right now I'm at 65% with a good 3 hours of net use on my wifi and a few other things. Before all this I was getting 8 hours total.

Once a get a good week of use ill try out droidwall. It looks neat and I like its charts
[EVO 4G General] freeza:
Will changes to the calendar and contacts from phone still sync to Google automatically?
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Wouldn't most of this be achieved by simply turning Auto-Sync off? (can be done using the Power Control widget for easy access.) Or am I missing something?

This is what I do when I want to save power. Then you can manually sync gmail and things whenever you like from within the respective apps.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
I've gotta feeling you used latitude in google maps and also have the location settings all checked under settings-> location in the main android settings panel. If your not on WiFi this will drain your battery pretty decently, and even more so if you are in not so great coverage.
[EVO 4G General] Breaker253:
Location settings would still be active. I've tried disabling auto sync all together and still have a significant battery problem.
[EVO 4G General] Breaker253:
None of the location settings were enabled when experiencing this problem.
[EVO 4G General] mmillercts:

[EVO 4G General] coiledwire:
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this next time I try to integrate my 2 profiles.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryn32:
Hey guys, im relativly new to all this stuff, and i decided to root my phone (Galaxy S I9000) and run One click lag fix, however, the problem being is i only temp rooted my phone, and when i did OCLF it rebooted, which will un root the phone, which will then not allow OCLF to run (is my understanding).

Now i try and trun my phone on and it loads past the "S" animation, but then goes to a black screen, with the menu and back button lit up, and vibrates every now and then. I can get into download mode, and i can get into recovery mode, my question is, is there a way to fix all this, without hard resetting, or losing all my apps/contacts/messages?

I only just did this and it was a bit of a pain, and i dont feel like doing it again, if all else fails i will have to do it but i would prefer not.

Since I installed CHT 2.0 battery drain is terrible: 20% lost in 10 hours during night, with all data connection off.

I have enabled three battery status indicators for battery temp, voltage and current: could some one please tell me what would be the correct values for a normal battery life?

Thanks
[HD2 General] Dave©:
To be honest, 80% battery after 10 hours is not bad...

I had a problem with battery only lasting 5 hours - turned out to be a faulty SD card...

Which ROM have you installed?

Dave©
[HD2 General] thegios:
yeah but actually before CHT2.0 I had 5% of drain in 8 hours, so jumping to 20% in 10 hours looks quite bad to me...

I have stock rom ita 1.66.408.1 with radio 2.15.50.14
[HD2 General] p107r0:
AFAIR monitoring widgets caused increased power consumption on my device,

what I'd suggest is installation of BattClock, which can display current (mA) usage, and checking what is idle usage with and without those widgets (or adding one by one until you find the culprit). Normally, idle power consumption - i.e. the mA you see after turning the device on - should be somewhere around 2-8 mA.
[HD2 General] thegios:
that's what I guessed but was not sure... I have uninstalled and reinstalled CHT 2.0 with no monitoring widgets and i have now installed batlog, so that tonite I will start the log and see what happens
[HD2 General] aboveluna:
how about cookie 1.85?

same battery drain or less?
[HD2 General] thegios:
less for sure
[HD2 General] thegios:
I have verufied: with only batlog running for logging, pushmail off but 3g on, I have a constant -75mA drainage
[HD2 General] thegios:
a little bit too much I would think... shouldn't it be around -5mA in standby mode?
[HD2 General] jumaba:
Solution

Hey there,

did you find any solution? I got the same problem.

With 3G and maybe 20minutes call I had about 10% loss per day. But with cht 2.0, it is about 25% per day without any programs running. When I check the CPU usage with battery clock, it's jumping on idle today screen between 8 and 40%. It is always over 100mA with 20% backlight and NO program running, just showing the home screen. That can't be normal. With old CHT no problems like that. Best was definitly without using CHT at all. Manila crashes around 1 time a week.

Regards
[HD2 General] st0rmik:
How many desktops are u using ?
[HD2 General] jumaba:
3 upper and 3 lower. But the lower ones are just direct links that extend full. so let's say 3 times the stock desktop.
[HD2 General] st0rmik:
Are you using many widgets that requires internet connection ?
[HD2 General] die_braut:
100mA with screen on (even with low light) is absolutely normal and ok.

Do you remember how huge our screen is?

I think your problem is caused by CHT, the effects use too much CPU-power.

I a think of the same problems when I was using WM.
[HD2 General] jumaba:
Well,

like I told before, without CHT I never had these battery drains!

Which effects do you mean? Just 16 more direct links, nothing else? That's a bad joke of software programming...

And it's also not the storage card. With it taken out it's the same.

I don't use any widgets for internet connection, 3g/2g/phone switch off does also not change a thing. It is really just CHT.

I use my hd2 for navigation, some chats and phone, internet like never. I dont need that facebook/twitter/weather **** on my phone.

I will go back to stock and just add all my small used tools via startmenu. Don't care about slappy programmed cht.

Is there an alternate tool just to get some more levels for desktop, nothing else?

Regards
[HD2 General] die_braut:
Take a look for SPB Mobile Shell. I think there is a trial version, you can check if that will resolve your issues.

[:german:] Schau mal nach SPB Mobile Shell, das ist eine Alternative zu Sense, vielleicht löst das deine Probleme.
[HD2 General] st0rmik:
I ve used cht 2.0 and I didn t notice more power drain. As I remember there are some settings for animations, try to disable extra animations. I am not sure if cht creates error logs. Try to look for logs from CHT maybe you have something corrupted.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jotekman:
So I have been searching the forum for a while but haven't been able to piece together a good answer from what I have been reading, so I decided to go ahead and ask. I know that these questions have been asked before, more or less, but at the rate development is going, and with the updated Android builds, I would guess things have changed even from 2-3 weeks ago, let alone 2-3 months.

What are the advantages of a NAND build (nowadays anyhow) over SD? Is it the speed?

Is battery life better on NAND or SD or it is really up to the kernel?

Are RAM editions somewhat speedier than their counterparts? if so, are they less stable or something than a regular NAND or SD version? I mean, if they are equally as stable, why isn't every developer doing RAM versions to get the most possible speed?

I know the speed of the SD card helps with SD versions to some extent. I bought a 16GB class 10 Wintec for that purpose, and it seems to do well. At that point, battery nonwithstanding, would be it worth it to go to a NAND build or would the speedy MicroSD make up most (if not all) the difference?

Thanks for the answers in advance. I just wanted to get a little bit of updated info from those in the know :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jotekman:
While I am at it, another question to add to the list.

Does the underlying OS make a difference with the SD build? I know that Android should shut down and supersede the WM drivers, but would having WM7 over WM6.5 as the underlying build make any difference whatsoever to anything when booted into Android from SD?

thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matejdro:
Main advantate of NAND is that you can replace SD card without turning off phone. And your build don't rely on speed of SD card. But due to small storage space, many builds still use SD which kinda defeats it's purpose.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jotekman:
No one has any idea on the other questions? Thanks for your input matejdo.

Again, some info is appreciated.
