CWM version is 2.5.1.3. If I flash AR 4G 2.0.15 and add Performance Patch .16 the Recovery Mode does not appear while the phone is off and plugged into the wall for charging. The only difference is AR 4G 2.0.15/.16 vs AR 4G 2.1 i.e. no Recovery Mode in 2.0.16 and Recovery Mode in 2.1.

Edit: If needed on my Inspire 4G I can go back to the setup listed below:

Thanks for your reply. I'm sure this sounds like a very stupid question, but I don't know what "CWM recovery is and I don't know how to boot to it. Would you please advise? Again, thanks so much for your help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
You can do it from within ROM Manager - choose "Reboot into Recovery". I think fastboot needs to be off for this as well (see below)

Or, you'll need to turn off fastboot (Settings - Applications - Remove check from Fastboot), then power off the phone. Now, hold Vol - and PWR at the same time, for 5-10 seconds. Eventually it will load HBoot/Bootloader where you'll want to select "Recovery". Now you're in CWM Recovery

Or you can do it while restarting. Still turn off fastboot, while selecting the "Restart" option from the power down menu, hold Vol - It'll vibrate the whole time it's shutting down but that's ok, hold in Vol - until you see the HBoot/Bootloader screen, then choose "Recovery"

Note: when you're in CWM Recovery, or when you're in Bootloader, you use the Volume buttons to navigate through choices, and the power button to select the choice
[HTC Inspire 4G] preacher65:
Hi, sorry I didn't reply to your earlier question, blame the time zone difference. :) Yes it's okay to leave the phone in Recovery, but if you're worried about security or screen burn, just install the "Advanced Power Menu" and choose "Hibernate" instead of "Power Off" and then plug in your charger. The recovery won't appear.

Regarding the results you tested, I don't mean to be rude, as you've clearly put a lot of effort into testing different scenarios, but I guarantee this is not a ROM issue. It's not even a bug. Please see my previous post on why this happens, and then search XDA for "clockwork recovery bug charging" or similar, and you will find hundreds (if not thousands) of posts from people who have the same behaviour, on different ROMs and different phones, but all using Clockworkmod. :) It has also been asked all over the Modaco DHD forums since Paul O'Brien first released 2.1.5.2 for the DHDs there, before Mike had even released his ROM! (Paul modified Koush's recovery to make it work on DHDs.)

Some people can sometimes avoid it, through various combinations of what order they power off and plug in, but I've yet to see a reliable method that works every time for every person. I'm not sure why you're getting different results with different versions of ARHD, but I know Mike doesn't put any "special sauce" in his ROMs to change how this feature works, as he's been asked this a lot in the DHD forums. :cool:

Again, I don't mean to be rude, but this has been asked again and again for months and I'm pretty confident my information is accurate. If I'm proved wrong, I know several thousand people who'll be very happy. ;) :D The "Hibernate" trick is a good workaround, though, sorry I didn't mention it last night. :)

This is interesting. For what its worth, the other day I work CWM 3.0.0.6, flashed 2.1 full, no sense, rebooted, flashed audio fix, rebooted, OC to 1.2, rebooted... Quadrant scores of 2733. Haven't tried the booting into recovery while charging issue.

Update: You're not rude at all, This is all good information. I guess what makes me wonder is that on AR 4G 2.0.15 w/.16 patch the recovery menu did not show up while charging. This behavior started with AR 4G 2.1. All flashing was done with 2.5.1.3

P.S.

Can you provide a link for the "Advanced Power Menu" installer?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
I don't know if any one has mentioned this or tried it, but my mms wasn't notifying me/going away after I read them like a few people. I went into apn settings which for me is media.net , and under mms port it had 8080. I changed the mms port to 80. Since then I have been able to receive mms notifactions and they will show as read aswell and disappear from the notification bar.
[HTC Inspire 4G] joe7966:
What does it look like when I'm in recovery? All that is happening is I choose "recovery" and it is rebooting my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] directorfer:
This is a known issue. A fix is in the works.

I understand it is a known issuse. Which is why I changed my mms port under apn settings. I just wanted to see if it resolved the issue for anyone else.

Edit: never mind it only worked for about ten minutes.

I don't think I'm able to boot into recovery mode. I'm getting into bootloader and I choose "recovery" but it is simply rebooting my phone. The same thing happens when I'm in ROM Manager and choose "reboot into clockwork recovery" it simply reboots my phone and I'm back to the normal phone.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I was wondering do I still need to flash the radio? Having problems loading boot loader menu because of the clockwork recovery menu keeps coming up when phone is turned off and plugged in. I already flashed to android revolution 2.1 full and did the audio fix.

Mike1986,

I'm not going to repost the long test process but after AR 4G 2.1 FULL ROM has settled for bit i'm getting consistent Quadrant Scores like this 2851. If you keep updating this ROM I'm going to have to quit working to keep up......:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsasecure:
The "Hibernate" trick worked perfect thanks! Still not sure why I wasn't seeing this behavior in AR 4G 2.0.16.
[HTC Inspire 4G] preacher65:
I agree it's odd, but I've been using ARHD since 1.6, and I've always had this "bug". In fact I'm sure there are a few posts on XDA or Modaco with me asking very similar questions a few months ago. :cool:

The main thing I would say is that when you power off and plug in, Mike's ROM isn't even loaded, so any inconsistencies would seem to be caused by Clockworkmod. Unless some elements remain in memory using Fast Boot, I guess, but since this is Q3 in Mike's FAQ, that suggests anything he's done that has affected this behaviour isn't by design. ;)

The "Advanced Power Menu" is well worth having, it's in the Extras section of the 2nd post. There's a dropbox link there - I think the link works, but if not copy it to your own dropbox if you have one, or check out this mirror http://www.wbakkercomputers.nl/Advanced_power_menuNewScripting.zip

I've attached a screenshot from my phone (a themed version so the icon colours are slightly different).

Edit: Took too long to get the screenshot :D but I've left this post up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
You need to finish the hack kit, which upgrades the radio, then flash AR 2.1. You can skip a few steps since you are already rooted.

You shouldn't need to if you're just updating the ROM. You should only need to when you're switching ROMs. However I've done so much flashing in the last week it was probably a little confused. I was having a lot of weird issues so I wiped (Full Data Wipe, Wiped Partition, Wiped Dalvik Cache). Then I flashed a fresh install of Revolution and all has been well. I'm using the recommended radio, but others are using the stock radio and not having any trouble.

Inspire 4G Battery @ 46% after 4 hours on AR 4G 2.1

I'm running Android Revolution 4G 2.1 on my ATT Inspire 4G. From a full charge with light use (4 brief calls) the battery is at 46% after 4 hours. I have disabled the HTCSense account and stopped syncing news. Can anyone provide tips on how to make the battery last longer? Thanks in advance for the help.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
First delete your task killer it is not needed. It uselessly drains your battery. I recommend downloading watchdog lite, it monitors if an app goes rouge and hogs your cpu. Using your memory will not run your battery down using your CPU will. Also keep in mind that an overclocked processor is going to use more battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsasecure:
Thanks. I un-installed Advances Task Killer Froyo, Turned the SetCPU back to 1038Ghz (Stock) and installed Watchdog Lite (Set @ Moderate). Are there any special settings for Watchdog Lite that need to be set?
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
To question 1 as long as you have a working recovery you will be fine. Just make sure the text is green in recovery.

To question 2 it is done in the recovery. There is an option to wipe data/factory reset. Just select that. But make sure you backup anything u don't wanna lose such as contacts and apps. A word to the wise if you restore apps with titanium backup do not restore data you will have force closes. If u can help it, I would just download all your apps from the market I hear people are having issues with titanium backup.

Edit: I see this was already answered.

Speed test

I have installed version 2.1. Do I need to install anything else to get optimum performance? My internet speed tests are 1.89 down and .93 up. I tested my iphone 4 at the same time and I was at 1.41 and 1.31.

Also, is it safe to overclock the phone and to what extent?

EDIT: here's something I don't understand. The results above are via "Speedtest.net" Then I tried Extreme labs speed test and the results were much worst. 1.55 and .47
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Me too. I've mentioned this before... I thought I had it fixed. I did a full wipe a few days ago and reinstalled Revolution fresh, and everything's been working fine for the last couple of days. Until this evening. It lost connection again, I couldn't make or receive any calls. It was connected to HSDPA. I changed it to prefer GSM only (rather than GSM and WCDMA), and i'm able to make/receive calls, but on the Edge network. As soon as I turn it back to Auto GSM/WCDMA, it switches back to HSDPA network and I can't make/receive calls. I'm also using the recommended M2 radio, but the first time I noticed it I was using the stock radio
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
I overclock to 1.5 but every CPU is different. Take small steps up and see how your phone reacts. I have no issues at 1.5 and still get pretty good battery life. And also the speed tests will vary based on the network and the type of test I always use speedtest.net app. Whatever you use u should get a somewhat accurate result as long as it doesn't give you something crazy like 40mbps up lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Not really it will make a notification sound if an app goes rouge. I had my messages app go wacky, and hog like 80% of my CPU and I didn't realize it. I lost like 20% of my battery in an hour.

rsa, i am in the same boat with you... i am at the point where i am considering to just going to out of the box stage, BT answer/end button worked, battery lasted way longer than on any ROMs i've tested, video wasn't choppy like it is... it just seems like dev's are building ROMs for statistics like upload and download speeds, quadrand scores,... don't get me wrong i really appreciate the hard work, but i would just rather enjoy all of the functionality of the phone then some really high and some none at all....

now i just need to figure out how the heck do i go back to out of the box restore???

Battery

For everyone having battery issues try this......

Download currentwidget, put the widget on your home screen. Charge your phone untill the widget the reads 0mA, which means your battery is fully charged. Then use which ever app you want like Root Explorer, go to data/system and delete batterystats.bin. This will reset your battery stats from the point where your battery is 100% full. It works, I get 20+ hours at high use. Worked like a charm for me.

[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
Can any one confirm this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
It won't break any thing. The problem is that people reset their battery stats the second the phone reads 100%. The widget tells you how many mA is being pushed to your phone. This way you reset your battery at the exact time you are really full. Look at the Desire HD forum under development. I got it from there.
