[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usfslacker:
A buddy's girlfriend just picked this phone up and she had me check it out and show her the ropes (I own an Epic 4g and came from a Hero) and I just couldn't get over how incredibly slow it was. It installed and opened apps slowly, it changed screens slowly, I honestly thought it was a 500Mhz phone until I looked it up. Now, I know these custom UI skins have a tendency to drag down performance, but my Hero never ran like this and neither does the Evo which is a similarly spec'd phone with the "same" software. Its so bad at this point even she's fed up with it and the only Android phone she's had before is the Vortex which is a 600Mhz device.

Now, I know that this phone is capable of more given its hardware and I'm going to get right to hacking it up for her and getting CM6 or 7 (nice btw, I wish we had CM7 going on the Epic) but is the stock software it comes with supposed to be this bad or is this an atypical experience that if I were to do a factory restore (via RUU or w/e file type they chose to load software with) would fix it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
Definitely unusual, my gf has a stock that she abuses, installing everything she finds and never uninstalling or rebooting and her phone still runs smooth. Might happen to have an app misbehaving...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usfslacker:
Thanks, I've worked many an HTC phone and hers is a disaster. I can't imagine what app could have been misbehaving, but I assume it'll stop once I wipe everything and load some vanilla Android goodness. I'll admit, I'm more excited to mess around with CM7 than I am to root around in her stock phone to find whatever's causing the problem.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
I'm still running stock on my MT4G, and it's quick as can be. Been using it a month or so and virtually no lag.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick34609:
My stock mt4g wasn't slow either. But definitely root it. Much faster ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunsean:
Lol, yeah I'm sure performance would be even better after rooting and optimizing, but I'm not there yet. I had my MT3G for like 6 months before I got bored and decided to root, after which I tried about 20 different roms. I'm sure I'll follow a similar pattern with this phone - in a few months I'll get bored and root to start switching things up. But still enjoying the stock experience as it offers everything I had to root the MT3G for. Plus rooting after running stock for a while will really make it feel like getting a new phone without actually having to buy one :P
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootaToota:
I just bought one as well on the 12th of Feb and it's VERY slow. Annoying. I DID run a Quadrant standard test on it and it scored about 1660 which is nice. No matter how many factory resets I do, it doesn't change the crappy smothered OS.

My stock EVO was very fast. Other MT4G's I've worked with are able to be rooted and are very snappy STOCK. This one is slow and giving me a headache.

I am unable to root it with any method available. I can't find Visionary 11, which supposedly is the problem...

I'm waiting for another method to come out. I've tried about 4 different methods...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
Install iced glacier rom on it and maybe faux's kernel and you're done. It should be smooth as butter. I don't know how tthat stock is slow but I've played with a buddies stock phone and its still quick. No lag. Definitely a app misbehaving
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marine6680:
If wiping does not fix it, then I would say there is a hardware issue. It should not be slow at all.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nick34609:
Yeah. Took me about a week before I decided lol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
It seems like a factory reset wouldn't fix any core issue, since there isn't an image kept on the phone's memory. It just wipes all of your user data and returns the phone to an original state, but if the original state is in some way corrupted you would have to flash a known good image of the stock ROM to correct any problems. You can find good post-OTA PD15IMG.zip files on these forums.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $pitacular1:
Misbehaving apps or hardware problems are not the only reason for slow down.

If you have your phone syncing a ton (facebook, twitter, Qik, weather, stocks) it will appear slow as it becomes sluggish during the sync process.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cal3thousand:
You should be able to run 7 screen full of active push widgets and full syncs without the type of lag he is describing.

He said he thought it was a 550MHz phone until he looked up the specs. There's got to be some rogue program controlling things. Check out the running apps / services and also check the battery usage.

Finally, if a wipe doesn't fix it, send 'er back!

Hi,

I have just switched to a rooted HTC Desire using the ROM Ginger Villain 1.0.

I must say that its a great success but one very anoying thing.

I can't get the MediaProvider to index my wma files. MP3's show up correctly but no wmas!!

If I try opening a wma file using astro filemanager and choosing music player - it tells me that wma is not a support audio file!

Has wma format totally been removed in 2.3.2 which is used in Ginger Villain 1.0...

BR Flemming
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jensenflemming:
Seems like google is not supporting wma as a native format...

Strange... I am quite confident that my old android version 2.1 supported wma...

Maybe its a royalty problem??

Try googling "android native formats media"

(I can't post outside linkt yet)

Really nice base on SM. Downloading for testing later on.

Does it support app2ext? Ext2 or Ext3 or both?

Thxk.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zeppelinrox:
Fixed that for you.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
this working for everyone? not for me
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] silencer51:
Works great for me. I would like however to add Maps. I can't find it in the Market - can I use the gapps package for CM6 or 7?

EDIT: Copying the .apk from another Gingerbread rom worked fine.

I think this is the fastest of the GB roms I've tried so far!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ovitz:
1/3 of my touchscreen is death... on CM7 works great
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
Hey, just want to ask, why is this rom suffering the dual boot problem like Edgard's GB ROM? Its that reboot problem when you start up the phone it boots and after reaching the lockscreen it dose a hot boot from the android logo again... any ideeas
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] motorator:
Because this version is built on Egdard's ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] klhk:
what is the different between this rom and iceandfire 1.2 rom?

Any update coming for this ROM? It's the fastest GB ROM I've tried and I quite like it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] iceandfire:
Unless edcastro updates his, I cant. :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jiddahidda:
Oh so this is currently based on his latest, Build 7? Ohkay I'll forgive you! :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] James91:
I haven't seen this post before,

why it tanks so quickly??

BTW, is it based on shadowmod b7??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jiddahidda:
Yes it is based on b7. It won't get an update untill edgardcastro who is the dev of Shadowmod updates his mod, which he hasn't done in over a month.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
Anyway to get battery percent on this?

ROM download links..plz!!

Could someone please post download links to this ROM? For some reason, multiupload website is down. Thanks in advance!!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvictor:
so the question, with the newly build cm7 that just release few days ago, is it better then the cm6 rc2? I read on the forum that cm6 was better but that was before the new cm7 rc1 release. any input?

I am about to flash cm6 to test, as far as cm7 I have issue with navigon not working, some app crashing, I have yet to test extensively.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radamo:
I would love to hear some feedback on this as well.

RA
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
It's going to be a little different for everyone as far as connectivity, GPS, etc. There's a FAQ with suggested fixes for some of these issues. Obviously there are features in CM6 that aren't in CM7 and vice versa, so it sorta comes down to personal preference. Quite frankly, both are great.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvictor:
That is interesting how the phone are not consistent I like cm7 more then cm6 but cm7 is giving me some issue I have to reboot many time
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
The gps issues in cm7 can be fixed by flashing the newest nightly.

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=glacier

They're both great roms, cm7 is just the newest stuff.

Clockwork recovery 3.0.0.6 is fully compatible with both froyo and gingerbread roms and nandroids.

On any flash, wipe data/factory reset, flash rom, flash gapps, then let it sit on first boot and give it some extra time to finish loading before setting up. Reboot again after you've signed into google and done the basic set up.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
I think I'm gonna flash cm6 rc2 first as well before I go to cm7 rc1. I'm aware that they're both different him their own way, so I think it'll be best if I gave both a try.

Only thing I need now is to get back the 2.2.1 update from tmobile cuz I had to flash pd15img after my first root went haywire
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
There's actually a new pd15img.zip that includes the 2.2.1 update. Link in my sig.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo221:
both are great. I use both, right now on cm7. it maybe buggy depending on what you do. for the apps i use, it's ok but cm6rc2 is pretty much solid all around. upgrade cwm recovery 3006, very easy to switch.:D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
Thanks Phateless.......Here's a question though, would you recommend flashing over the pd15img in your sig with the update or should I try manually doing the update(I saw a thread on here about it some while back)???
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
I say give up on the update and just flash the one in my sig. Be aware that this will wipe your phone though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
Alritey, Just gotta make a list of all the apps I downloaded, hate starting over lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Froyo and above will automatically restore all your apps when you sign into Google.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
Oh yea you're right! So unzip the file, copy the extracted folder, place it in my sdcard & do the 'vol down+power button' then select fastboot and it should search for the pd15img & load it up right???
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
No. DO NOT UNZIP. Rename the file to pd15img.zip and place on root of your sdcard. Then boot up as you described, DO NOT SELECT FASTBOOT.

When you boot up into hboot, the phone will automatically detect the file and ask you if you'd like to begin the update.

Make sure that your windows pc displays file extensions and that you are naming the file pd15img.zip and not pd15img.zip.zip (with the second .zip being invisible)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
Since I did it before with the pre ota update, I went back in my sdcard & look at the file. So I realized I didn't extract the zip lol, good thing cuz man I would've screwed lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Yeah you'll need to remove the other file from your sdcard.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
Yea i Switched em so it wouldn't conflict and I rename the old one & add (pre_ota), not sure why I'm keeping it, but just incase.

I'm about to permroot again but I can't find visionary, any idea how I can get back?

*UPDATE* No worries, I did the "alternate method" using sdk so I got it done!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Right on. I have visionary r11 and r14 so I was gonna link you but I guess it's a moot point now. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paso876:
So I'm about to flash Cm 6.1.2 rc2 and I remember seeing seeing a thread where there was a clockworkmod version worked for both CM6 & CM7, what version is that again?? And can I flash it through Rom Manager?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Version 3006. If you follow drew's method you can flash via rom manager. Look around in the development section.

For some reason whenever I click on "reboot into recovery" nothing happens, it just asks if I'm sure then thats it. So I was wondering if I can go down to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" & select 2.5.1.4/.2 & use that for CM6.1.2 rc2 for now instead of using 3.0.0.6 since I'll be running ROM for quite sometime
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Yeah that works. Instead of using rom manager to boot into recovery, use the power button on the phone. Choose reboot, then recovery.

Darn, I don't get it. I try selecting 2.5.1.2 & I keep getting....."An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". Before I select it I also cleared the download cache so I dunno what could be wrong and I'm certain I'm properly rooted cuz I did hboot about 4 times now & S=off

Did you perm root with visionary after getting s off? If not you need to slow way down and read the instructions.

Well I couldn't get visionary to download so I did the steps in "Guide to permaroot, s=off..... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834225.

So after that I downloaded Rom Manager & did a backup of my current rom first then I tried switching the 2.5.1.2 when I got the error message

AFTER you have s off you need visionary to achieve permanent root and flash a recovery.

You click on it with a file manager from the market. But first you go into app settings and enable install of non-market apps.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoffman1984:
Maybe... If the code that does the rotating could be found, it might be feasible to add it into OrientationEventListener in the framework.jar

You might run into some copyright issues, though. As i'm sure bejeweled code isn't for the taking.

[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
Is that I have not seen a review of the Xoom anywhere. Has anybody else? Somehow Motorola was able to get a Xoom in Chad Ochocinco's hands a month ago but I haven't seen any evidence that Motorola has shipped review units to media members. Will we have to wait until after release on Thursday to see any reviews? This release has been so shady that I'm waiting until after I see a credible reviewer verify all of Motorola's claims before I consider purchasing.
[Xoom General] setite:
There have been countless reviews. You mean you want an in-depth detailed review from someone who gets to use the device "in the wild". That is not out yet, and that is normal for a new device of this sort. The devices we have seen so far aren't ready for primetime, and we can only hope that the XOOM I pick up in 4 days is ready.

The release isn't shady, it's just a little rushed. They are trying to bring the device to market ASAP. Would you rather they push the release by a month and send out samples to reviewers? I think the review I put on YouTube will be better than most professional reviews, except for the methodical, if anecdotal, reviews Engadget and other upper echelon tech blogs post.
[Xoom General] keitht:
I disagree. It is shady in the way they are forcing people to pay an extra $35 activation fee plus $20 min service just to activate WiFi. Yes, it is stated in the small print but still, bad business and shady in my mind.
[Xoom General] setite:
If you consider that Verizon has put money into this project, it's fair to expect them to make a profit on each unit. I think that they should have worked something out with Best Buy that allowed them to take a cut from the 800$, but the result would have been the tablet costing 850$.

Hasn't a rumor been floating around that buying direct from Verizon would require no activation? As counter-intuitive as that may sound, it tracks as Motorola is selling the XOOM 3G wholesale for 550$. So if BB sells it, they keep the 250$ difference, if Verizon sells it, they don't need you to pay for a month of service because they have already made 250$.

It's not shady, but arguably bad business from a consumer image angle. People who don't understand what is going on, or people who simply don't care will look poorly upon the policy. Knowing that there is a WiFi Only version for 200$ less down the road should assuage any issues. But you still have the right to be mad, even if it just gives you heartburn :)
[Xoom General] keitht:
You sound like a lawyer :) It is bad business and consumers will speak with their wallets. This price point will not ultimately work. And we still do not know actual issues with the device including what is going on with the SD support. I was all excited about this before but now, I cannot see paying $900 without a single accessory.
[Xoom General] setite:
Yup. I am planning to go to law school :). I agree with you. I just have a habit of playing devil's advocate, and trying to inform other consumers so they don't get enraged and end up hurting themselves by getting angry and making sweeping statements they can't take back. Like when Steve Jobs got angry and committed to never having flash, and forever people like me who need flash can't buy an iPad.
[Xoom General] Jrockttu:
I haven't seen a single review, just a few hands-on impressions in a controlled environment. I want something that validates the 10 hour battery life and that tells me if the OS is buggy, etc.

I consider it a shady release for the reasons already covered in this thread. The $800 price tag is high, but reasonable, until you consider that it's a $200 premium for 3g/4g, you have to activate data to unlock wifi, and they'll charge you an activation fee of $35 any time you turn on the data. That last part is the biggest kick in the nuts. Motorola, Verizon, and the retailers are all trying to get their cut of the device and the consumers are the ones being punished.
[Xoom General] setite:
Agreed. The last part is indeed a true roshambo kick in the nards. I am quite cross about that particular detail as it sort of defeats the purpose of month to month, and makes no sense given my admittedly limited knowledge of how CDMA works. AFAIK all that should be necessary is an OTA provisioning of the tablet when you want to enable service. Something I do on a regular basis for my dad who goes through a new phone every 6 months. He buys crappy flip phones on ebay for 20$ and I activate them using a combination of the Verizon website and a # code on the phone. Easy Peasy, no cost. This makes it clear that they are trying to get you to just keep a minimal data plan month to month, because without a gap of 2 months or more, you will be paying more in the grand scheme if you pay an activation fee each time you lapse. It's almost like a late fee.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
It's up the the manufacturer to release the reviewers from the NDA and let them post reviews. The sheer number of developers that have the Xoom is proof that reviewers have had them for a while. Usually reviews don't come out until the device is actually for sale.
