[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolin95:
So among all the flaming I decided to just post a quick answer to the OP and hopefully help a bit.

First of all ...do you need overclocking? Well, only you can answer that. Do you think you can use extra speed for things you are doing now? I for once, use the extra speed for emualtors like PSX ones and just like the overall snappyness of the phone.

Like it was mentioned you need the right kernel to overclock.

I prefer Paragon's kernel with Sucker Punch as the second choice.

Paragon is only included in the ROM so you would need to extract the kernel and flash that if you want only the kernel.

For overclocking tool is all about voltage controller. SetCPU used to have issues before , not sure now, so I dont use it.

PRO's faster phone, better performance if your apps needed the extra speed.

CON's less battery life I guess and possible damage to hardware but that I consider extremely rare since most kernels are very careful with the voltages plus if you feel your phone getting too hot perhaps you need to take it down a notch or two.

If you decide to go for it , I have a small guide below but it assumes you know what you are doing already so its not a step by step process from scratch.

Good luck...as an avid PC overclocker I dislike people who dis overclocking claiming damaging hardware etc etc etc...processors last a LONGGGGG time ...way past their useful life so if my i7 920 loses a few years of its life span...who cares, is not going to be useful way before overclocking effects will show.

That is, provided you know what you are doing...if you crank voltages with a stock heatsink then, first you are stupid and second, be ready to buy another CPU lol

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRide113:
Hahaha well I read through your guide and it seems like I can do it! I will try it out this weekend when I have some free time! Thanks a lot. I have the bigger battery I bought from Ebay, and created a backing for my phone that looks exactly like the stock one that I made (I am an amateur welder with a plasma cam :D). So battery life isn't a big deal for me, but I am deff going to try this out!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
You could say that OCing can shave a few years off of the life span of the CPU, but when you OC you are running the cpu faster than it is meant to be running which can damage the phone in many ways in a short amount of time. I'm neither with or against OCing because it has pros but I just see the cons as too great. Maybe as a student, I'm thinking about money, but for me, I would not be happy if a phone I loved and payed a pretty penny for, dropped dead. Yea, you can make your speed score 200 points better, but unless your phone is as slow as a tortoise, OCing (for me) is not another risk I want on my phone. That doesn't sound too impartial I know, but it doesn't really matter what we think, it matters if you want to. No matter what we say or do, the ultimate decision of what goes on your phone is all you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolin95:
Actually I am (dont consider myself a master) and the 95 is the year i got my black belt..that way I never forget :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaolin95:
The problem is you see a pattern of people against overclocking being people that have never tried it out of fear. I speak about it with many years of experience as I started with a T bird 1.4 back in the day :-)

Of course, there are no guarantees when it comes to OCing but I have yet to kill anything overclocking except a motherboard but that was not my overclocking per se that killed it but the stupid ocz ram booster that went crazy on me lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
believe me, I've tried it many times. I just dont see a reason to risk my phone, even if many people say the risk is tiny. I have to much to worry about, without my phone dying. OCing works for people, but for me my speeds are fantastic without it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spores:
Anyways... back on topic...

What are the voltages you guys are running at for each cpu state?

I'm running at 1.2v at 1.2ghz. Seems stable, I'm going to run the stress test in SetCPU to see how it goes.

Any other stress test tools you guys use?

EDIT: It seems that anything close to 1.125v causes the system to immediately freeze after applying the settings. Will have to investigate this tonight.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nado_x:
Ok I read a lot about rooting and tried CF-root. Now I figured I'll revert to an older stock XXJPU with pit etc. Won't that remove root and completely wipe my phone? Or do I have to revert to the original 2.2 that came with my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAKFOTO:
Log onto samfirmware.com and take your pick. Just stick to the intructions and you shouldn't have any problem.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAKFOTO:
Log onto samfirmware.com and take your pick. Just stick to the intructions and you shouldn't have any problem.

You don't have to revert to the original 2.2 - go for the 2.2.1 (JS5) and you won't even need any lagfix.

Flashing will remove root and will wipe your settings and apps so don't forget to backup.

Enjoy your SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nado_x:
Thank you for your response.

Yea I've flashed it with JS5 now (with voodoo lagfix) and it's very responsive. :)

I'm experiencing some force closes on certain apps though.. Either way it's the best phone I've used and indeed a very fun gadget.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanronin:
I bought a nexus one on ebay and I noticed that the trackball is black. Does this mean that someone opened it up (voiding the warranty) or that some N1s from google came with a black trackball as well as the white one?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Know-Fear:
I don't even remember what my trackball looked like a year ago, but it's nearly black now. It still flashes all the right colors though.

Here is a picture of what it look like (attached). I'm not sure if this is dirty or if someone opened it up and replaced it. Any info would be helpful. Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das_spektakel:
Hey, the black one looks even better than the original trackball :p

You can simple check if someone opened your N1. Just remove the battery cover and take a closer look at the upper left screw. There should be a "Void" - seal on top of the screw...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obsy:
I have 2 Nexus: one trackball is dark and the other is white... even the cases are different: brown vs gray.. so I think there are 2 different type, because one is from Google and another one is from SFR France. For me it looks good the dark one but the light of white is better... And if you say it is dirty then how is so uniform?!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DumbUglyDragon:
That doesn't look nearly as dark and uniform black as the one posted earlier. I'd be cautious also...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obsy:
Mine it's not black... more like dark brown... It matches with the back side of case.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
holy crap that is a dark trackball. surely it must be done on purpose, not just dirty...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaggy-h:
The trackball on mine is as bad as that, and I can assure you it was white when I bought it :( I think it's caused by the blue dye rubbing off from my jeans pocket. I wouldn't mind except that it's so bad now that I can hardly see the notification lights except at nighttime, and I find that really annoying.

I've tried just about everything to clean it short of taking the phone apart (which looks tricky...). Pure IPA, citrus cleaner, bleach, and various ways of rubbing/rolling it. Nothing has made any real difference unfortunately, but at least none of those have done any harm either.

If anyone has any better ideas I'd be interested in hearing them.

[Desire HD Accessories] ogezzy29:
Hi,

I got a DHD and for some reason I can't unlock my phone when its laying flat on a table.

I've recalibrated my sensors and still no change. The only way it unlocks is if I tilt it on an angle. This also affects games etc if its not on the correct angle.

(PS. This is the standard unlock slider on the DHD + not talking about the pattern unlock...)

Thanks in advance,

OGEZZY
[Desire HD Accessories] lucifaru:
cant unlock when slanted? you using pattern unlock or ??
[Desire HD Accessories] ogezzy29:
Sorry I didn't explain it correctly.

I can't unlock the fone via the normal slider. This only occurs when the fone is flat on a table. If I put the fone on an angle or hold the fone in my hands I can pull the slider to unlock the fone without any problems.
[Desire HD Accessories] DeathJester:
This makes no sense whatsoever! The g-sensor has no effect on the lock screen... Have you checked the tasklist to see if there's any background apps which might be overriding screen input? I know Handcent can popup SMS notifications over the lockscreen... Maybe there's an app waiting for input, prompted by the orientation of the phone...

It's a long shot, though. Does it do the same on any other horizontal surface?
[Desire HD Accessories] luminus:
It has to do with how a touchscreen works. When you don't hold your phone in your hand and only use your finger to touch your screen it is less responsive. Mine does it too, it still works but i did notice it is less responsive.

Thats how capacitive touch screen works, they need a guiding ( electricity) true the body of your phone true your finger. It is less when not holding your phone.
[Desire HD Accessories] Krzysiec:
That`s capactive touchscreen "issue". Holding phone in hand has better "ground" and touchscreen works better. Everyone has it ;)
[Desire HD Accessories] ogezzy29:
Ok I've posted a video on YouTube to show the problem.

[Desire HD Accessories] Tezray:
I had that. Calibrated my phone and it was a little better. Then after a while it was fine didn't come back. Forgotten about it until I saw this thread.
[Desire HD Accessories] frosty_ice:
Did you already try a factory reset?

It is always worth a try when dealing with any kind of computer problems :P

Another possibility may be that you have sweaty fingers or some kind of fluid on them that makes the touchscreen unresponsive.

If it still doesn't work, you should probably contact HTC about it. You may have got a bad device.

For the One-Click method, a developer would need to create an .exe that includes ADB, all required files, and scripts to automatically execute the steps you currently need to do manually. I don't see it being hard to do, just time consuming and pointless. The current method is very simple.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] strictlyrude27:
Hi guys -

I'm trying to set up Tasker and Ringleader Pro to make my Handcent SMS vibrate turn off when the phone is sitting on my desk.

Long story short, it doesn't work.

It looks like Handcent doesn't respect the phone's vibrate settings. The only options for Handcent to vibrate are "Always", "never", and "Only when device is set to vibrate".

Clearly when Vibrate is set to "Always" or "Never", Handcent will vibrate upon SMS receipt, well, always or never.

I have the phone set to vibrate "only when not in silent mode", which I would think means the phone is currently set to vibrate. But Handcent won't vibrate.

Am I stuck?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rmarquez1974:
Dude! This bugged me too! The thing is this, go into a message thread you have already read our whatever, hit the gears up in the right top corner, and select the vibrate option you want. It is set to "on" for each contact and the only way to change it is this way...lame but that's how it is done...
