I just want to know... how is it that a big company with all these resources... couldn't make that good of an audio driver for our headset jacks... Really. Coming from an iPhone 3GS, I chalked the diminished volume and audio quality up to the audio capabilities of android itself... until I downloaded Voodoo and read how Voodoo Sound works. Poorly written driver? They let a poorly written driver out of the gates past QC? And someone in their free time (although very very extremely insanely talented) wrote a better one?

Voodoo really does make a world of difference... I love the new audio quality Supercurio gave us. My bass actually rattles my windows now! I can hear the extra quiet songs! :D

Maybe Samsung should let supercurio be in charge of all things dev. :p

In all good spirit and fun though, I really hope Samsung John is what and who he says he is, and can "get the ball rolling" as far as development goes.
[Captivate General] timmytim:
Haha! Hell no I'm not.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Unless Samsung releases an update that makes my phone amazing, i am selling my phone in the next month.

I have tried all the ROMs, and the Devs have done a great job, but the underlying architecture sucks. The default email and calendar is terrible. I switched to Touchdown but it has lag that is not present on other phones (even with Voodoo).

My Bravo is a better phone running 2.1 then the Captivate with 2.2 - I really like the form factor of the captivate, but the software that samsung put out is holding it back - even with Dev ROMs.

Never, unless you send them your phone and make them do the hardware fix.
[Captivate General] yourtvlies:
This is what it boils down to.

I think it's pretty silly that we don't have answers to these really fundamental questions despite half a year having passed since the hardware's been released.

I know it's a shared responsibility between the carrier and Samsung, though it seems to be that the manufacture should be in the best place to provide answers, at least on the hardware end.

[Captivate General] atldawg:
I agree. The email, contact, and calendar apps are awful compared to what else is out there (and has been out there for years). I too use Touchdown, but it lags the phone to a point of irritability (might as well be my 3G with ios 4.0)

Just waiting on refurbed Infuses to hit the warranty department, and I'm swapping mine out...
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
Amen. Considering I'm on my 6th captivate (first 5 - all hardware issues), I'm kind of curious to whether or not they even have a qc department. I know for a fact that I will never buy anything with the word Samsung stamped on it ever again.
[Captivate General] sclRanger:
I intalled can knockdown, the game samsungjohn said to try, it said my firmware was out of date and closed. Im running 100% stock, just had my phone replaced a couple weeks ago. Wonder what firmware he is running.
[Captivate General] ntothes:
So...where's this announcement? He said he would make it Monday, correct? Well, it's Monday, and it's almost 7pm. Shouldn't it have happened by now?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
My gut said return it before 30 days were up, but i love the form factor, and i kept thinking that "they must fix the lag, they use the phone too" ... i know better now. Probably never buy Samsung anything again. AT&T may hold up Froyo, but Samsung QA this crap.
[Captivate General] timmytim:
I was just wondering the same thing. Typical of Samsung though if you think about it.
[Captivate General] franksig:
talked to a Android Specialist from AT&T

I was on the phone with one of AT&T's Android support staff today going over another issue and asked what is going on with the Froyo update and he said that the reason it has been delayed is because they are making sure the update includes a working 4g Upgrade.

I wasnt realy pushing him for an answer and he was very knowledgable and open. He didnt claim to have a date, other then he had heard it would be fairly soon. I questioned him if the Cappy was able to handle 4g and he said "without Question and the phone is about as upgradable as possible"

Hate to stir things up but it does make more sense why the long wait.
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
Did they mean hsupa?
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
Considering the person you were talking to works in a call center and follows a script for a living... I would take all of that with a grain of salt. The cap's hardware is capable of 4g, but that will never happen. AT&T wants you to buy a new Galaxy S 2 4g (try saying that 5 times fast) in the summer. If they upgrade your old one to 4g then they can't lock you into a new 2 year contract.
[Captivate General] mark_20:
I am also on my 6th Captivate, and it has the same set of issues all the others had. Random Power Off, Bluetooth, Radio and stability issues, etc. It was so bad on one phone that a client gave me a NIB Nexus One. One guess where she works....

And guess what, other than the screen the Nexus One beats the Captivate across the board. Everything works, GPS can get a 2 meter lock and hold it while in motion. I am running CyanogenMod 7, and it runs Gingerbread very well.
[Captivate General] electroau:
Yes the at& t version of 4g works on the cappy. Flash the phoenix rom, they have it working, and yes its fast

Im not sure if HSUPA counts as well (H without +) but.I have that too; im using Paragon 2.2.1.

I get over 3 down and 1 up regularly.

True, it sucks that ATT didn't update, but I still would have installed a custom ROM regardless because this rom offers Overclocking and Undervolting, which is what I wanted.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JLneonhug:
Hello,

I recently upgraded from a hero which wad heavily tweaked thanks to this forum.

Now that I have tweaked the DHD to use evolution HD (great btw), I have a question about task managers etc.

People have said the built in management is much better etc etc. But how does it know when I have finished with a program? If it does not have an exit now button in the app will it effectively keep running? I used to use task killers just to kill everything after I have playing with the phone. Is this not needed?

Thanks for reading!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DN41:
just leave it then ;)

as you've got an DHD, you've really got enough RAM :P

so: if another process needs ram and nothing is left atm, android closes the one you left "running" some time before, etc..

don't use task killers...the integrated android "feature" does its work..for sure!

DN41
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
because you haven't used it for a while

in the back ground yes, until the resources are needed

No it's not and this is where the problem arises, if android thinks an app is required, it will respawn it after you have killed it using uneccessary cpu cycles, and it will do this repeatedly every time you kill the process. As long as you haven't got a rogue process eating all the cpu cycles when it shouldn't task killers are not required.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
Dont listen to people who say "uninstall your task manager it's not needed" its absolute crap, yes it is true that android's own internal memory manager does a great job on its own and yes having a task manager that kills task on some kind of schedule is just a waste of battery and resources, but if you need to run any kind of task that is resoure heavy it's imperative to have a task killer to free up some memory or that task could take forever. its also useful for playing demanding games ect. thats just my opinion anyway :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
thats just not true, my device usually has around 110-150mb of free ram when idol, if i use a task killer i can get around 300mb of free ram, if i dont touch my device, it will stay at over 280mb indefinitely untill i start using apps again .......
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphuyal:
NO TASKILLERS!!!!!....They mess up with your system + drain your battery + will leave you posting more on xda.....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Which benefits you how? Android isn't windows it doesn't run smoother because it has huge reserves of memory sat around unused, yes if you kill everything and leave your phone on idle it may well free up a huge amount of memory, but start using it and it will respawn important processes. For the undecided her'e some further reading Lifehacker, geekforme, Androidspin, Infoworld, talkandroid, tested and the last word to Google.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
Even Windows doesn't run smoother if there's lot of unused RAM. Even though the makers of those RAM "optimization" tools will tell you different. RAM is there to be used. Free RAM is like having your money in a sock under your bed instead of getting interest from it.

On my DHD Android will start killing background apps when the free RAM drops below 40 MB. And what more do you need? Why is 150 mb free RAM better than 40 mb free RAM? If an app needs more than 40 mb the missing RAM will be freed up almost instantly. I doubt anyone will notice. And almost no apps use 40+ RAM anyway.

And to those that are absolutely convinced background tasks eat their battery. That's wrong in 95 % of all cases as well. A background app that does nothing also uses no CPU = almost zero battery usage. So no harm done. And a background app that does something mostly does so because you the user told it to do so. What eats battery is the display, setting the brightness to 25 % or so really help. But that's offtopic... ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
yeah i understand that, but what im saying is SOME application and games (av suites, emulators eg psx4droid and fpsce, games like dungeon defnders ect) they generally require more ram to operate than the minimum android will leave free, so in thoes curcumstances, it is usefull to have a task killer to free up enough ram for thoes tasks to run optimally, i did a experiment the other week, and it took my av suite 17 minutes to do a full scan with no memory optimisation and 11 minutes to run after using a task killer, are you seriously telling me using a task killer once or twice a day will use more battery than leaving the phone scanning for an extra 6 minutes? also all these sites you quoted, i agree having a task killer on a scheduled auto-kill basis is a waste of time or battery, but people came to the conclusion not to use task killer 12-18 months ago when there were very few high powered devices and resource heavy tasks, now there are more and more apps that require a large amount of ram to run optimally..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
yeah but 12-18 months ago 512mb ram was a dream for most of us. I don't think the main issue with task managers is extra battery usage it's the unexplained anomalys with programs FC'ing or plain not working because some automated task killers has over zealously shutting down important services
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
exactly, when people started saying dont use task killers, devices had very little ram, but on the other hand applications required very little ram, things have moved on now, and with more powerfull devices come more powerfull applications, and although i agree with having a task killer on an auto-kill schedule is a waste of time, i think its useful to have one for thoes time you want to run a resource hungry app, but you know like they say YMMV :D

[Nook Color General] Keebler1175:
I did the Froyo to EMMC a while back, then subsequent had my nook reset itself to stock. What I've noticed is that the space available on the Nook now appears to be around 3.5 GB instead of the 5 GB I remember from stock.

I tried restore stock using a bootable CWR, and though it restores the stock OS, the space issue remains.

I tried using some of the part commands from the original Froyo removal instructions, but it doesn't want to access the partition I assume was shrunk.

I then put HC on the EMMC (v4) and it only shows about 800 mb of onboard storage.

Can anyone tell me how to wipe all partitions on the nook and get back to a true stock configuration?

I put this in the dev thread, if this isn't the right place please relocate.

Thanks all!
[Nook Color General] oplok72:
I am in the same boat. Did you find a solution? Thanks.
[Nook Color General] racks11479:
Take a look at EASEUS Partiion Manager. They have a free version that should help you out.
[Nook Color General] chrishuns:
I am having the same issue as well. I ran Auto nooter on a new stock NC, and when I looked in system info Internal storage only showed about 1GB total with 8 or 9 hundred MB available. What is the deal?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
You're looking at /data, the storage space on the NC is /media and that would not be affected by Auto Nooter.

It could be affected by other things which write to the eMMC, Nookie Froyo, CM7, NookHoney etc.
[Nook Color General] chrishuns:
Yeah. The other things i did was install clockworkrec prior to the nooter. I ahve also ran 3.0 and nookie froyo. Either way is there a post or a way that i can reformat the lost partition maybe an app that handles that?
[Nook Color General] oplok72:
I went to adb shell and did a df command. And calculated the free space and I actually have 4.9 gig but it only showed 3.7 on the gui.

Thatd great miro! i will test it out when i have my WiFi connection fixed to dowload it. atm i only have 2g and downloads are too slow... Thanks! In the other thread, Kevin said it bricked his device, i think it is because it is designed only for 6.1/6.5 roms and not 6.5.3. i will test on your miROM14 later, cheers!

p.s - is this uninstallable? thanks! also how did you make it? it would be nice to know :D

it works on my miROM1_beta_Sense2019 os 6.5.5. very well :D. i dont know why kevin has problem with it :confused:. i think work on all roms. AND yes you can allways remove! use 22 MB Storage.

for the best: before install the cab, disable all items in home menu, install the cab. no restart needed. go back in home settings, toshiba menu is selected. press ok and toshiStripes starts!

Assuming you meant me (?) - no, hadn't had any issues. But have not tried the stripes since very first encounter with the TG, since which I've been running debranded completely. I have looked at the multitude of files involve in the stripes UI, but I'm afraid purely from the persepective of stripping out rather than adding back.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
Sorry! I meant to say that it was the recent new member kevinchr not kevinpwhite, who had been requesting all l developers to create a cab file got him.

With 6.5.5 the red and green phone buttons are obscured and the blinds to not "turn". The Tosh interface uses a lot of memory too

[TG01 Themes and Apps] kevinpwhite:
I am not absolutely certain, but recall some commments a while back that the blinds only rotated on the original 6.1 edition and Toshiba made some changes with the 6.5 update which stopped that, presumably due reported problems...
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
Yes i think they removed it because many people found that it was slow and unresponsive in early ROMs. But it was still slow anyway. they were too lazy to rewrite the software.

Awesome thanks for pointing this out in the other thread! i'll try it later!
[TG01 Themes and Apps] drupad2drupad:
Miro I can confirm that this cab works flawlessly on ANY rom!! :D

It's got the 3D animation too and waaaaaaaaaay more smoother than original 6.1 roms.

I will advice anyone who wants to use this cab, to use on new kitchen's production. This extra RAM is very well used by this stripes menu!

I am LOVING it!! It's fresher than sense UI and I think if toshiba din't kill it with little ram and clunked up 6.1 OS, then original UI was attractive at least for the first sight. I've already been asked 'what phone is it' - 4 times after I installed this cab ;)

Only few huge request are:

Can you please look into trying to see if you can create something like 'StripeMenu Editor'?

An app that can edit i.e. give more options that can be added/removed to stripes?

An app that can let us have more than 3 colour stripe combinations?

An app that can let us remove the stripes we want to remove i.e. the Orange world stripe can be removed? - something like 'titanium editor' apps.

I know it's very big ask especially from someone who is crap at developing, but I think there is potential to lift this UI with that little app.

I've already given you all 5 thnx again ;) but will flow more towards your way :D
