[G2 and Desire Z General] Terrier Hockey:
I recently sold (or am selling, it's on ebay now) my Vibrant for a G2 and I am very please. Like you I do a lot of typing and there's simply no substitute for a physical keyboard. The G2 is just as snappy as my Vibrant was (rooted with Bionix), but I do notice a slight decrease in graphics quality in games, but probably only noticeable because I used the two phones back to back for a short time. I saw go for it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xandermpls:
G2. The mytouch4g is nice as well. I have both.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MajorTom_:
get the G2 man depending on what rom you have (if any) you can get excellent battery life. it took me hours to kill the battery with high brightness settings, music use, web use, and gps on. the physical keyboard is just great for typing a lot and for simple replies you can use swype. overall it's a reliable phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] noc215:
I'm contemplating on the exact same thing, EXCEPT...

1) I can't justify paying 560-ish for the desire z,

2) G2 is $440, but I will be restricted to 2G since I'm stuck on ATT for various reasons.

I was trying to read around but I couldn't really find exact answers to my queries; maybe some of you might know.

Over 2G, will I still be able to send MMS on the G2? I noticed on my captivate, whenever I send pictures that are 1200 kb, the phone automatically downsizes them to about 88kb or so before sending. Will pictures even send at all on edge?

Without 3G, will it affect aGPS?

Other than that, I never even use my phone for browsing or streaming over 3G. Should I settle for a G2 or just suck it up and pay for a Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z General] zirra:
I'd recommend saving up a little more and spending it on the desire z and/or waiting it out for a good deal. Paying over 20 dollars a month for edge simply isn't worth it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Athrun88:
Hey,

You should look at some of the used markets in your area. I know there are some DZ/G2's for sale around my area (Canada) for about $400CAD. These are naturally locked but you could always sim unlock it yourself for free.

Running Froyo 2.2 on my NC.

Google Reader was working for me perfectly before.

It patched over the weekend (I believe the new release was the 18th).

Everything seems fine now except when you get to the point where you are looking at the actual post, it is a smaller screen much like when you pull down the notification drawer.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I poked around in the config files but nothing stuck out at me. Have un-installed and re-installed... googled around for guidance or similar google reader problems... any thoughts?

Thanks,

Nathan

Just get the unofficial google reader. I think g reader? It has full screen all the time and is better imo. Links open within the program, so I don't constantly jump between google reader and opera just to view a funny image :P

Only issue with greader is it wont keep feed groups like Google reader does.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] unclebobbyc:
I was using the latest version of google reader with my rooted NC (stock 2.1 ROM), and it was working fine. I just updated to CyanogenMod 7 Stable, and I'm seeing this problem now.

I like the official google version better than greader.

[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
The Korean XT720 is actually OMAP 3430 but you're right otherwise it should be 3440 unless you have the Korean model. I don't use RSD Lite (I use sbf_flash in linux) so I can't vouch for the accuracy of what it reports in any case.

You can't get to the Motorola Recovery?

1. Pull battery

2. Remove SD and SIM cards (not necessary and unlikely but worth a try if nothing is working...)

3. Push and hold camera shutter and gallery select

4. Keeping holding the buttons while putting in the battery

5. Press power and keep holding all buttons until the triangle screen shows

6. Now it's OK to let go of the buttons

7. Press and hold the gallery and volume up buttons

8. While holding those buttions, tap the camera shutter button.

9. Android System Recovery menu should appear

Can you get as far as the Triangle screen?
[Milestone XT720 General] pajo985:
nope...

I can't get into recovery (I tried that many times :( - with/without sim/sd)

it just show white moto logo, which is shown for about 30-40 secs, and then it reboots...

from where u got your xt720? starhub singapore maybe? or else?i mean your original stock rom came from?RSD lite still recognize your xt?

[Q] Dexter Froyo Rom 1.1b

Has anyone managed to find out what is consuming so much ram in the rom. On stock 2.1 I had from 45-65MB of ram left at any given time. With the froyo ROM I now have from 20-30MB left.

I have noticed that when I start up memory intensive apps like navigation and then kill them that I am able to get back to about 60MB of free ram, but then within a few moments something starts up again and consumes it.

I suspect that it is OpenRecovery which seems to always be running in the background. Is it safe to kill it?
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
yes, I've found out. it's Android 2.2 which is consuming the RAM. :D ...

if u don't believe, try to flash Korean stock 2.2 on your phone and see. :)
[Milestone XT720 General] warrenkb:
Ok thanks for the reply. That sucks, maybe that is why Moto did not make a stock 2.2 rom for us.

I was hoping that there was a process or a service running that I could kill and remove to get more working space since my browser is randomly shutting down while in use.
[Milestone XT720 General] grigorbg:
To have free RAM is good (the idea si good) but it`s not so important if the OS can manage good system memory.

I don`t like to use memory boosters/task killers and other 3rd party tools because there is no improvement (IMO). I see that 2.2 can manage memory very well when some app needs it.
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
that's correct. I found my phone more responsive and faster when I'm not running any Task Killers
[Milestone XT720 General] pajo985:
no, my device is 100% xt720 :)

(I had bought it in Germany 5 months before, and there were no problems until now)

can you please make one test?

put device in bootloader mode (cam button + volume down + power), and tell me does RSD lite sees 3440 or 3430?

(I was looking at rsdlite.ini file, and there isn't configuration for 3440 processors, only 3430, so I am a bit confused now...)

[Q] HD Recording With Dexter's Mod v1.2

I am loving Dexter's work, and have been able to take some high quality pictures with it - though video either isn't working (in HD) or still has noise (in SD).

In HD the video simulates recording, it shows the timer counting, but the files don't play back in any players. In SD the video on the screen and the video itself still has the lines of noise moving throughout the video.

I bring this up only because I have seen posters in the Dexter threads say they are recording in HD and are also not having any issues with noise after the 1.2 update.

Can anyone confirm they are recording video without issue? I should note that I have a properly formatted class 6 card and with the stock firmware was almost happy with the results there. Again, love his work, but is there something else that needs to be done in order to not feel like I'm taking a step backwards with this version?

[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Pull the battery. While turning the phone on hold the volume up button, this should put you back in Open Recovery. Wipe user data (again?). Reboot

HTH
[Milestone XT720 General] Frisbee6:
Thanks for your reply, but it wont let me go to recovery, it crashes before that. These are the steps i used if they help.

Originally i had the US Firmware. Step 1 installs Korean 2.2.1.

1. Install korean sbf (STSKT_N_79.33.50R) using RSDLite ( link here )

- boot your xt720 into bootloader (press power up while holding VOL+ + and shutter button during bootup)

- when RSDLite application on pc says "connected" , your ready to flash

- select the SBF

- press start

2a. Set language to english, set usb mode into Charge Only and USB debugging on in the Settings->Apllications->Development menu.

2b. root it (using SuperOneClick)

3. install OpenRecovery , follow instructions on files included (OpenRecovery & OpenRecovery.zip )

5. copy the folder "nandroid" to root directory of your sdcard.

6. boot into OpenRecovery (adb shell reboot openrecovery)

7. restore the backup "stock22" in openrecovery

8. wipe / factory reset in OpenRecovery

9. reboot

Thanks again for your help
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
You want to start with a stock 2.1 kernal, I think Dexter started with the UK sbf, I just started with the US CBW sbf.

Hello everybody.

I'm now using Dexter's foryo remake for xt720 version 1.2a

[Q] [Dexter's Froyo 2.2.1 for XT720] MediaScannerService stuck in restart

This is the only problem that I cannot live with, can anyone help me figure out what to do next

The Mediascannerservice in running services is just stuck in restarting and when I remove the data from Media storage, restart the device, load up music it scans a couple albums and then stops after a dozen or so

I've tried apps like Rescan Media ROOT and SDrescan, tried reformatting SD card
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I think for the moment you have to choose between Media scan (1.2) or 720p (1.2a). The only viable alternative I've found is trying MortPlayer which reads the folder structure of your music library so you can access all your music, but it doesn't read tags so there is no sorting by artist or album & there are no play lists.

[Q] XT720 with Dexter's Froyo... miss my Froyo features!

OK, so I was spoiled on my kaiser with the myriad of kernels and froyo builds. But, not having 3g just was a pain, so I bought my xt720... All good and Eclair wasn't too bad, but due to wifi policy on some computers, really missed my usb tether...

I assumed (yeah, I know), that Froyo had that built in, but with the recent 1.2a nanrdoid, I don't see it on there...

Yeah, I know about PDANet, but seems that if it's in there somewhere, I should be able to coax it out...

Any ideas? Is it just me and it's there for everybody else?
[Milestone XT720 General] helmi666:

I'm curious about why such a few of you complained about the browser crashing problem.

[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
With Dexter's Froyo or with the stock 2.1?

[Milestone XT720 General] Shadowdancer123:
Works for me too, did you do a full reset when you installed the image?

Check if you have some application running that might be using all your ram.
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
I think there's some issue with camera writing to SD card. Try to format ur SD card and try again.
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
first of all, we've got different ROM versions at the moment. so at least, kindly let everybody know whether you're on stock or Dexter's ROM, and ROM version to everybody so they can help you.

If you're using Dexter's Froyo, try version 1.2 or 1.2a. Browser issue is already fixed.

AFAIK, bricking this android lineup is extremely difficult

there is no "wrong procedure", because everything could restore simply with flashing original sbf file..

that's why I had asked many times, does original SBF file flash and original recovery on phone, or not?

if it don't then something is definitely wrong with software, but if it does, then some hardware error is in the game

[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
First updates need to go in the /openrecovery/updates folder.

Second if you are talking about adding Dexters patch to go from 1.2 to 1.2a I believe he said that didn't work & you have to do a full 1.2a nanadroid restore.

is it worth it?
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
do you want a faster phone?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I didn't think 1.2a was really faster than 1.2. In version 1.2 the media scan works in 1.2a 720p recording works, you'll have to choose your priority. Personally, while I can live without media scan working, I was getting misc app closures in 1.2a, mainly in the stock browser & pulse, so I'm sticking with 1.2 for the time being.

bugs i've noticed with the 1.2a rom!

i have 2 motorola x720 phones, one is still factory 2.1, and the other is upgraded to 2.2.1- 1.2a dexters rom. putting the phones side by side i've noticed several bugs/ missing features.

1, browser crashes(a lot) appearently this was an issue on earlier builds but supposedly fixed... i still have this issue on 1.2a

2, doing an internet speed test, phone on 2.1 downloads very smoothly and consistant, dexters rom the data comes in bursts and not very consistantly... not a major bug but annoying as i tether my phone with other devices and peformance is poor....

3, missing feature- during texting you usually can easily go back and fix a typo by touching the text field and a magnifier will pop up on 2.1 and let you carefully select the place in the text you want to put the curser

4,volume on radio cant be changed (known bug)

i dont know if anyone is keeping a running tab on known bugs, since im new here and this is the only form i seem to be able to post on, if anyone can verify the above problems and post them where they can be put on an official list somewere it would be appriciated....

and a big thanks to dexter for putting this rom together!!!!
