[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
I am actually running CM7+4G and had 1.77 and noticed that my 3G speeds were terrible. I was maybe getting .3 down and .4 up max every run. I flashed 1.90 and now my speeds are 1.10 down and .80 up. Much improved. I personally didn't notice a difference in battery life. Course I've had my phone off the charger a few times with over three days so unless I leave it unplugged forever I don't notice big differences. Using a 1750 MaH battery from BB.

3G fix for slow connections
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
for starters, it only is supposed to work in sense roms, as that post states it gets reset when you flash a new rom.

second, I have tried that "fix" and everytime it makes my 3G speeds even worse. Tried that fix on Myns warmtwopointtwo and fresh. kills my 3g speeds instantly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
I haven't had any issues running the 1.77 folks say faster 3g speed and better battery life so far everything been running great for me no bad slow data speeds.

I also went back to 1.77 from 1.90 and battery life went from about 12 hours to 18-20. A bunch of people at work did the same and are getting significantly better battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamcajun:
So how do you down grade the PRI and NV?Do you just flash it from recovery like a rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
yeah just download it out of the thread in the Dev section, and flash it like a rom, it will ask you to reboot your phone, it will then apply the "update" and the kick you back to the recovery and your done.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nYdGeo:
Since my 003 Evo appears to work fine, but I get the most pathetic battery life regardless of the ROM, etc, this is of great interest to me. Can anyone tell me if the poor battery life that they experienced using the 1.90 was only related to a sleep issue...as in the phone didn't sleep properly with the 1.90?

I ask because my phone appears to sleep fine. If I leave it dark overnight for 8-hours, the awake time is under an hour.

Also if one wants to experiement with this, should the PRI and NV always be flashed together? The versions appear to match exactly so it would seem to make sensethat they go together.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No they aren't the same; you should flash both of them though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdrew:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yes, you can do back if you don't like it or see changes, and no you don't have to update your profile.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Well, technically, you aren't a "friend" of yourself on facebook, nor do you follow yourself on twitter, so they have nothing to link to. Just download your profile picture onto your phone and manually attach it to your contact. I don't even have a contact for myself, I don't see the point.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beartard:
One potential reason for having yourself as a contact is having your own picture show up in SMS conversations.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Ah, I use handcent sms, where you can manually set your own contact picture without actually creating your own contact, I guess that's why I don't have a contact for myself.

Like I said, just download your profile picture to your phone and manually set it as your contact picture? That should work just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] returnix:
I have been using some custom rom's around here, Doc's and some Darky's and they were perfectly fine.

Some days ago, I started the SGS Tools application, and got to the "Secret codes".

I was just curious about it, and I got into the "Touch key firmware version"

So there was 2 options, to upgrade the Touch key, or the touch screen.

I pressed the touch key, and then the screen said "PASS" and boom !

The touch keys stopped working.

I tried everything, wipe all, flashing back to 2.1, then back to Darky's, and Darky's Odin. Nothing is working.

It's a driver problem as it seems, can anyone, anyone please help me?

Thanks, I will be so greatful!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlittle_lambx:
I came across a thread in another forum that discussed this touch key problem while I was trying to flash Darky's 9.2. You will need to flash to a stock rom. While in stock, go to your dialer and type the following:

*#*#2663#*#*

Then click Touch key FW update.

The touch keys become unresponsive if you try to update the firmware after a kernel change other than stock. Hope this helps.

Hey mate.

Thanks alot! but it doesnt work.

I flashed about 3 rom's. 2.1 rom, original from my country 2.2 rom,

and allways did fw update, but none working.

What can I do?!?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlittle_lambx:
Did you do a complete clean install of your stock rom? What I mean by that is you wipe data/factory reset before and after you flashed your phone's stock rom. As the guide I linked utilized a carrier stock 2.2 rom, try flashing the carrier stock 2.2 for your phone. Wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode, and try the firmware update again via dialer *#*#2663#*#* and select "Touch key FW update" . Reboot your phone.

I have the Bell Mobility I9000M model, as the guide is intended for, but it should work on the international version as well (I'm assuming you are from Asia or Europe?)

Hopefully your touch key issue will get resolved, if not by me, then someone else with more expertise in this forum.

Ditto, I had the same problem, bought the phone from a guy and it already had a custom firmware on it. I screwed up the menu and back keys by upgrading the touch key firmware.

I eventually found this thread, upgraded (or rather rolled back) to the original firmware (in my case I9000UGJL2) and re-applied the touch keys firmware upgrade and voila now my keys work again after a month or two of pulling hair.

This device for the price is actually very good. I love mine. I have a 32GB MicroSD in mine and I have plenty of Storage. Android 2.2 should be dropping on the device any day now. I heard tomorrow..

That's because whatever ROM you are installing is not wiping dalvik.

I personally was wiping data, cache, and davlik. When I installed a ROM (I install strictly through clockwork) I was still seeing GApps and settings that shouldn't be there. The solution I found that deletes all this is formatting boot, system, data, and cache, then do a wipe of data, cache, and davlik you will have a clean system to install on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wraithdu:
I don't understand this... if you are formatting boot, system, data, and cache... why on earth do you think you need to THEN wipe data, cache, and dalvik? Wiping data and cache is just a synonym for format, and dalvik is located on the data partition.

If you can provide proof that there is ANYTHING left on your phone after wiping boot, system, data, and cache (sdcard or emmc withstanding), I'll eat this post.

The above comments assume a properly working recovery. If your recovery truly is hosed, well, all bets are off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sucker4pa1n:
I Rom Manager has a part on the bottom of the list to flash older recoveries. Its is under all recoveries or something similar.

EDIT - did some Googling and found this site

http://thekilpatrickproject.com/downloads/koush/recoveries/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
Another explanation could be CM7's built in backup/restore script that runs from the updater-script during installation in recovery. It's found within the install zip under /system/bin/backuptool.sh

If you look in the updater-script you can see that it runs this backuptool.sh before formating.

package_extract_file("system/bin/backuptool.sh", "/tmp/backuptool.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/backuptool.sh");
run_program("/tmp/backuptool.sh", "backup");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);
format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system");

and then after it installs CM7...

package_extract_file("system/bin/backuptool.sh", "/tmp/backuptool.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/backuptool.sh");
run_program("/tmp/backuptool.sh", "restore");

So it looks like the CM7 installation script does a "backup" with this tool before installation, and a "restore" using the same tool afterwards.

However, I'm not really sure what it actually does, but it looks like it could be one of the reasons.:rolleyes::D
