[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FantasmaTaans:
Hey everyone how's it going? I've been out of the rooting scene for while because I've been in South Korea and haven't rooted since my G1

My question is:

Is it better to get the Archos 101 and then root it with the 2.1 eclair then get the OTA (if it's possible with root), or should I do the OTA for Froyo first, then root it? I heard you have to also mess with setCPU when you get Froyo as well because they set the speed to 800mHz which is a bit slow. I searched and couldn't find it. I've been on the G1 section of XDA for a while, so nice to be here! Take care!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
You really should improve your search abilities.

1. The rooting in Eclair and Froyo are different and because there is no permanent root for the stock Android you have to use the version specific to your installed Android.

2. If you want the "real" thing, go into the http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=877 forum and install Uruk.

3. In std Froyo there is allready a setting for the 1Ghz. Don't belive old rumors.

my problem, if we may so call it, is as follows:

WP7 to flash, I installed the first Magldr and I followed instructions as stated in the forum.

Not having the satisfaction of the new OS, I run the normal procedure to downgrade back to WM6.5.5. The strange thing, and that is why I ask if it happened to you, is that when I turn on the device, I no longer imagine the white HTC where the lower left shows the data of the ROM and RADIO, ENERGIZE but the logo with black background (this picture is present with all that I try to flash ROM).

Without disrespect to its beautiful and amazing NRGZ28 ROM, you have no idea how to restore the image white HTC?

sorry for my bad English

il mio problema, se così possiamo chiamarlo, è il seguente:

per flashare WP7, ho installato prima Magldr ed ho eseguito tutto come riportato nel forum.

Non avendo piena soddisfazione del nuovo sistema operativo, ho eseguito la normale procedura di downgrade per ritornare al WM6.5.5. La cosa strana, ed è per questo che vi chiedo se è capitato anche a voi, è che quando accendo il device, non ho più l'immagina bianca dell'HTC dove in basso a sinistra sono riportati i dati della RADIO e della ROM, ma il logo ENERGIZE con sfondo nero (questa immagine è presente con tutte le ROM che provo a flashare).

Senza mancare di rispetto a NRGZ28 e alle sue bellissime strepitose ROM, avete idea su come ripristinare l'immagine bianca dell'HTC?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysosrslawl:
I have a question i was reading a post earlier on battery life and someone mentioned that having task killer was bad for batter life? Or something to that effect, I currently have task killer and Autokiller memory apps installed. Which one should I be using? Honestly I wish there was a better task manager or something that would allow me to pick and choose which apps stay running and which ones only run when I use them. Because I tend to see apps in my task manager list that I'm not even using like yahoo messenger, eBay, taskos, etc.

Any information/ assistance will be appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toosurreal01:
Uninstall both!

Only reason you should ever use a task killer is if the app stops responding, but the Android OS does a good job of taking care of those also.

If you need to freeze an app so that it never starts you can use Titanium Backup.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Honestly, I do not recommend using a task killer. There are all types of pros/cons to task killers and a quick google search will result in a lot of articles about it. If you can, try removing the apps (when rooted obviously) you do not want or freeze them using Titanium Backup like the other commenter suggested.
[XPERIA X10 General] paolo599:
hey guys, is there an app or mod of some sort that tells you if you have unread messages by say, pressing the camera button and the phone will vibrate if you have a message. that way i dont have to take the phone out of my pocket to check.
[XPERIA X10 General] MJ_QaT:
Have you though about Liveview from Sony Ericsson? very useful
[XPERIA X10 General] ellokomen:
I have a notification LED for that purpose, if you remove the charger tap the light will come out and you can see the LED blinking without taking the phone out
[XPERIA X10 General] paolo599:
i dont have the liveview accesory...
[XPERIA X10 General] paolo599:
i would still need to take the phone out of my pocket to check the LED light
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
If you have it in your pocket, wouldn't you feel the phone vibrate when the message actually comes in?

I don't think anyone developed something like this because you either feel the phone vibrate in your pocket at the moment the message arrives - or you don't feel it vibrate at all because it's in a bag or something, where you would have to take it out anyway.

So not much hope here.

Edit: The closest you will get to this are stock message replacements like Handcent or chomp sms, that have a reminder function to vibrate every x minutes if there are unread messages/calls on your phone. These apps are pretty customizable, take a look at them! Handcent sms has this function for sure, don't know about chomp sms, though.

I bought a second-hand HD2 off eBay which to all intents and purposes is in excellent condition, however it has lighter blotch where the backlight is brighter than the rest of the display. This is very clear on white backgrounds and I find it quite annoying.

Tomorrow I am getting the HD2 picked up for a (hopefully) warranty repair; I was hoping for some feedback from the good people on here as to their experience with the phone as I have FIVE friends with HD2s, ALL of whom have a lighter blotch on their display, some worse than others.

This makes me think that it CAN'T be an incredibly rare phenomenon for this device.

I have owned a number of capacitive screened devices and have never seen this on any other handset. Even battered up old iPhone 2gs don't seem to have this problem.

I'm a bit concerned about the screen developing a spot again; I'm also concerned that HTC will try to charge me for the repair....

Anyone got any stories to tell about their screens developing blotchy patches and how HTC responded? And has anyone owned a HD2 since launch that STILL has a perfect screen?

Just be interested to know :)
[HD2 General] Spendy:
Mine has 3 spots showing when on a white back ground but I choose to ignore them. Also sometime my whole screen goes white like a negative photo but I just reboot and the screen goes back to how it should.
[HD2 General] brandi:
I have them since i dropped it and the top corner of my screen got damaged. my gf does not have them at all!
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
No problems with screen here...purchased dec '09
[HD2 General] Spendy:
I contacted HTC (I purchased my phone off ebay) been told it's still under warranty they are collecting tomorrow and said it would be 10 days until I get my repair back :-)
[HD2 General] Kov3nant:
I don't have this problem, but i always keep it in the leather condom when not using it. I did have the negative looking screen once but that never happened again. I think as long as you are gentle with it after it's repaired then it shouldn't happen again.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
A picture of the screen would really help...
[HD2 General] tomksoft:
Had that problem with my first HD2(bought it the first day it was available at expansys). I sent it on warranty and they have replaced few things(including mainboard, lcd and touchscreen).

I have a new one as well and this problem is not present.

My hopes keep being put down after each big phone technology show :( First was CES in January, and not a thing for Sprint really ( meaning an upgrade to our beloved EVO ). Now it is MWC, and I was hoping for some announcement or rumors of the EVO 2 being in the shadows, with at least some spec's leaked out, but nothing, just some slightly updated HTC phones;

HTC refreshes Android lineup;

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/htc-refreshes-android-lineup-with-incredible-s-desire-s-and-wil/

The next big phone show is CITA in March, and I believe that is where our EVO made it's first debut. Lets keep fingers and toes crossed for the EVO2 there.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
yeah and the specs of those newer phones still dont meet up to the Evo really. as i said in the other thread, the next show is our last hope i guess. Hopefully it will be something along the lines of using the newer snapdragon chips with DRM and well get netflix. anything less would be a disappointment really.
[EVO 4G General] thenags:
What in the crap. All these other companies are making superphones and HTC just barely upgrades all these phones? There's gotta be something going on here.......
[EVO 4G General] scolex89:
Rumor has it....

www.engadget.com/2011/02/14/htc-revolver-a-flagship-honeycomb-phone-for-atandt/

Also if I'm not mistaken, HTC sources all their chips from qualcomm and qualcomm just doesn't have a dualcore chip yet so that's what they're waiting on. Can anyone confirm this?
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
The full next generation HTC phone is codenamed "Pyramid" it will have 1.2ghz dual core...double the RAM...double the memory...better screen technology...

It sounds like the perfect device to be the new EVO2...but the strange thing is that T-Mobile is getting this "Pyramid" for a May launch. At least according to the rumors I read.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Samsung flat out kicked HTC's ass at MWC. No ifs ands or buts about it.

[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
No wonder Sprint had a big event for the Echo. There isn't crap out there that will serve as the next flagship phone for Sprint. One last mobile event to go so hopefully I'll have egg on my face.

Dont meet up to the EVO? What the hell are you talking about? These phones aren't great compared to the new dual core super phones but they are definitely better than the aged EVO.
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
I'm with my Evo
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
Let put it all in perspective here. LG, Samsung, and Motorola showed off their v10 and v12 engine cars. HTC add 50 hp to their v8 beast. God help me. Yet, either way anything Samsung comes out with no matter how great the hardware is will be crap. Hence the moment and current galaxy S models that still don't have official Froyo. ;p Sorry I had to take my frustration out on someone.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I have hopes the EVO2 will be announced in March / April. Because Sprint would be silly to keep it too quiet for long otherwise buyers will start looking elsewhere. This Summer some bad ass phones coming out. The HTC Pyramid on T-mobile, and hate to say this but the iPhone5 with 4" screen, dual cote, and a rumored major redesign of iOS adding notifications and widgets. If Sprint doesn't at least announce an EVO2 by June, I will seriously think about that new iPhone5.
[EVO 4G General] disclosure:
It looks like at&t and tmobile will get the nice phones... My mt4g was fast but I prefer my evo.
[EVO 4G General] lvgiantfan:
I don't know about you guys but would love an evo 2 but my evo is still freakin fast and does everything!

[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
I do LOVE my EVO, with Myn's RL5 ROM, this phone is a beast, and much better on battery life. But seeing these new devices announced, makes me wonder what we could be playing with soon, I am addicted to cool technology.

I don't want much in an EVO2, mainly a thinner and less bulky device, and hopefully improved battery life, and for sure want GPU acceleration, and a better screen to match something like the Super AMOLED.

But if Sprint keeps quiet on a EVO successor, I will seriously look elsewhere this June. Because come this Summer, the EVO1 will be outdated compared to the other high end devices from Apple, Samsung, Motorola...
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
True that....its actually quite amusing seeing a company so great get raped by someone like samsung..lol here's to hoping CTIA brings us great volumes of wealth may the gods bless us with patience!
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Actually the best phone for 2011 will most likely be the Nexus-3.0 due out at the end of the year, it will ship with the newest Android OS, and have some amazing technology from what I hear. But if it is for T-Mobile only, screw that, their service sucks by me, and really blows inside buildings.

I hope the Nexus-3.0 is as future proof as the Nexus-One was, it came out with hardware that was like 6 months ahead of it's time. And I have heard that Motorola wants to get in on the Nexus game.

I am still thinking the top phones for 2011 will be;

- EVO2

- iPhone5

- Nexus-3.0
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
Yes let's hope and yes samsung pretty much bent htc over and gave it to them

from my phone duh
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Yes they did. You can hate Samsung for crappy updates, but the hardware on the new Galaxy S II, is pretty amazing. Dual core, more ram, more memory, way better improved screen technology, Super AMOLED+. These HTC devices announced today look like last years hardware compared to the Galaxy S II.

HTC better show off the HTC-Pyramid at CITA in March. That is supposed to be the phone the EVO2 will be based off or similar too.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
You guys have either short memories or haven't been around smart phones long enough. HTC hasn't always been a spec leader - the Snapdragon was kind of a fluke. Before the Snapdragon, HTC had a tendency to use the same crappy CPU/GPU for all their phones and they are now doing the same usual crap. Even their upcoming dual cores are based on the same modified A8 core where as everyone else already has or is going to move up to the updated A9 core.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I hate to say this, but the iPhone 5 is starting to look interesting. Anyone knows what type of specs it will have?

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Don't know if your serious but rumors are that it will have a similar dual core Cortex A9 that the new Galaxy S2 will have paired with a dual core PowerVR SGX 543 GPU (the new PSP has the same GPU but with four cores).
[EVO 4G General] ktarian:
"Chip-maker Qualcomm has announced its next generation Snapdragon chipsets, including a beastly quad-core part by the name of APQ8064 which will run at up to 2.5 GHz. APQ8064 is based on Qualcomm's new 28nm "Krait" micro-architecture, and also includes an Adreno 320 quad-core GPU.

The manufacturer says APQ8064 chipsets will deliver up to 12 times the CPU performance of the original Snapdragon and up to 15 times the GPU performance of the original Adreno, while reducing power consumption. Qualcomm likens the performance of the APQ8064's Adreno 320 to that of the current generation of games consoles. This extra horsepower will allow the chipset to power higher-resolution displays and handle 3D playback and recording, and Qualcomm will be targeting it at next-generation mobile devices."

Hopefully HTC will continue with this new Snapdragon processor on the successor to the EVO :P
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Ready to wait until at least mid 2012? NVIDIA will release their quad core Tegra 3 well before Qualcomm.

Has there been any new phone coming out that will have WIMAX support? Now that's what we should be worried about.
[EVO 4G General] backdown:
I don't care if Samsung releases a phone that can turn into a car, i will never own another one of their devices ever, ever again. I don't care if its the only electronic i can purchase, i will wait till another company makes something else.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Any possibility that Sprint goes to another manufacture for EVO2 ? Like the Nexus phones one made by HTC and the successor by Samsung.
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
No. Nexus is Google's phone. They can choose who makes it. The Evo is an HTC phone, not something Sprint designed or made.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
What else is there? Motorola shows no love for Sprint, HTC is starting to get lapped, an LG will get about as much community support as the Echo..?

Man to be honest, after hearing about the WP7 updates (multi-tasking, cut&paste, and most important to me, a very competent browser with IE9), I might just go with a next gen Samsung WP7 phone once the hardware/spec refresh happens. Dual core CPU/GPU with a SAMOLED PLUS display combined with HW acceleration, MS Office, Zune and XBOX Live games is starting to sound pretty good.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
From the rumors I have read, that is the exact problem with an EVO2 coming out soon. There are issues with WiMax and dual cores on the new Android OS, not getting along too well, and they have to figure it out properly before they can move forward, thus delaying the EVO from the expected June launch date to, later in the year. I heard that rumor couple weeks ago, not sure where, and not sure if it is just typical internet BS ?

I guess we have to wait for the HTC-Pyramid to reveal itself, that is supposed to be the true next gen 4.3" HTC smart phone. Supposedly coming first to T-Mobile in May.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
you think the "Incredible S comes with a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 backed by 768MB of RAM, a 720p HD video-capable 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash and autofocus, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing image taker, and a 1450mAh battery. Resolution is your standard-issue 800 x 480" is vastly better than the Evo? I wouldn't even think to upgrade to a phone with those specs, rather keep my evo till something better than that is out.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
I would think that they possibly will be gearing up to have dual WiMax/LTE chips in the phone and sprint announce there plan to offer both forms. But the longer that announcement lingers and lack of rumors of those chips existing leads me to believe that might be further off than originally thought.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
These new HTC phones are everything the EVO is plus more. So yes, they are better. The EVO's GPU is absolute ****. The newer Qualcomm GPUs are significantly faster. There's several times more internal storage, there's 50% more RAM, the CPU is faster and more energy efficient, and the LCD display is better.

I don't care if you want it or not (I wouldn't either, not because the EVO is better or because these new phones are **** but because there are better alternatives), my comment was that these phones are better than the EVO. Someone mention that these don't even reach the EVO's specs which is a ridiculous comment considering that they are indeed better.
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Yep. There is no question there will be an EVO2, with beastly spec's, it is not if, but when. I am afraid it will not be out in June. Mainly due to the WiMax and new dual cores having issues with each other in Android 2.4. I would expect it maybe later Summer or Fall.

And that makes me want to seriously consider the iPhone5 now, I hate to say. The early rumors of the iPhone5, have it with a larger 4" screen...better resolution...thinner phone...best battery tech in the industry, supposedly Apple spent big buck$ on this new battery, will be amazing...all newiOS5 adding Notifications and Widgets...if these rumors hold up to be true, and the new iPhone includes all these changes, I will be tempted to pick it up, especially if Sprint is mum on no EVO2.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
hows the display better? we have the same resolution as that. I'll give in that the chip is better though mainly more efficent 1GHz than ours, and the more Ram is a plus. Haven't seen a comment on internal memory so i wont comment on that, but something i dont really care about near as much past what the Evo already has.

main point is that those phones were still using what is going to be quickly old stuff since only using the 1GHz processor instead of the newer dual core ones or even the 1.2's.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
on another note i found it odd that The Desire and Wildfire will ship with Android 2.3.3 and the Incredible S will ship with 2.2 (to be updated to 2.3 in the near future).
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
These new HTC phones just announced, Incredible-2, are just side upgrades/revisions at best. Sure they are better, but for sure not worth leaving the EVO for. They are just slightly better;...not dual core...no 2.4 Android...not better screen technology...same crappy battery technology nothing new...

These are not bad phones, they are good if your in the market for something new right now today, but I would not leave my EVO for one, plus none of these phones are for Sprint :(
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Thats how I took it at best a slight upgrade but marginal at that. Really disappointing they didn't have anything with even a 1.2Ghz if not the dual cores there to show. I mean if LG can get the new DRM snapdragon wtf is HTC doing sitting on there hands?
[EVO 4G General] Zorachus:
Samsung kicked HTC in the nut sack at MWC. The Galaxy S-2, is light years ahead of what HTC just showed off.

I don't like Samsung phones due to lack of U.S. updates, but the new technology in the Galaxy S-2 is drool worthy that's for sure. Dual Core...2.3 Gingerbread...4.3" Super AMOLED+ :eek:...higher memory and more RAM... HTC did not show off anything even remotely close to that.

Really worried the EVO2 might be a pipe dream, or much delayed to the holiday season possibly :confused: And the EVO2 better not be some side/revision upgrade like the Incredible-2, that would make me leave in a heart beat.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Its like I said in another thread, im starting to believe more and more that Sprint getting the Evo was a fluke.
