[Atrix 4G General] mburris:
For what it's worth, my phone has been off the charger for 13 hours now and has 45% battery remaining.

I would say I've been using it moderatly: bunch of phone calls, lots of web browsing, and about 10 minutes of google maps navigation.

Using CM7 nightly 11 with stock radio and overclocked kernel running at 1.5 ghz with a screen off profile set to 300 - 700 mhz
[Atrix 4G General] plmiller0905:
That's good don't get get me wrong. But the Atrix battery still outlast that of the Inspire. Also keep in mind that the Atrix is stock, no custom roms nor any custom kernels unlike the Inspire that is running CM7 Nightly.

An even comparison would be a fully stock Atrix against a fully stock Inspire and see who comes out on top IMO.
[Atrix 4G General] Smith7018:
I understand what you're saying but that's not really true. No one here would use it stock, so I'd rather hear numbers on how I'd use it vs how I'd use the Atrix. Anyways, I'm getting the Inspire on Sunday. Moment of silence for my future lack of a front facing camera :(

Goodbye! XDA has a place for all of you non Atrix owners too so I wish you all the best ... just not in here!
[Atrix 4G General] planoman:
Good Post! Waiting

Real world post. Like you, the Atrix fits all the things I am looking for. I am just waiting for the first update or 2.3. I learned my lesson with jumping on phone when they first launch. Who knows the iphone 5 may just fit the specs if they put that A5 chip in there with a 4 inch screen!. hahaha!

Have two buddies that got the Atrix. One came from iphone the other from bb torch. The iphone user has returned the Atrix already and the bb user loves his Atrix! It was almost like they would talk about two different phones! Just updated my captivate to 2.2 so I can hold out a while longer. Might even have to give the Galaxy S 2 a look even thought I have sworn off Samsung.
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
Just letting you know, your logic here is completely flawed. Stock to stock is how that comparison should be made.

Anyway, to make a post toward the topic, I think tthe Atrix was slightly rushed and as a result, you're going to have a lot of small things that irritate tthe people here; bugs and the like.
[Atrix 4G General] Squadfer:
Your logic is flawed. you cant compare two phones when one is decked out with an overclock and what not when the other is bone stock. That is like comparing a stock honda civic to a modified honda civic... of course the modified one is going to win...

Also why would you compare an overclock phone to another overclock phone. Not all hardware can get the same overclock... Plus I dont see the reason in overclocking phones...overclocking produces more heat. What do you do with this extra heat inside this tiny little package. There is a reason why you must upgrade your heatsink in a computer when you overclock your CPU...
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
dude... an OC'ed Inspire will last about 2 hours on standby from what I experienced with mine... the battery is just TOO SMALL! There is a reason why it is priced so low. From owning the phone - although the initial build feel was one of a much more expensive phone - you could easily and quickly tell where the corners were cut. If you like being plugged in most of the day, the Inspire is way better than the atrix... as of now... until the atrix BL is unlocked... then you're just SOL with a tiny battery.
[Atrix 4G General] Squadfer:
I think you miss interrupted what I was saying. I dont own the inspire, I own the Atrix :).
[Atrix 4G General] acPIZZA:
Sorry man, I thought you were OP talking about the inspire... which I owned and loved... for about a week before it was unbearable to not hit the power button to light up the display for fear of killing the batt!

Man... that really was a super big dealbreaker... There were slight other things... but it was one physical thing that could simply not be fixed... I was sad to do it, but the thing was under-designed.

[Epic 4G General] mkasick:
I'm not sure it's worth maintaining specifically a list of patches, given that they're intended mostly for developers and not end-users. Plus, developers incorporate a bunch more patches than those posted in separate threads in Development--those are typically just high-profile ones that should be incorporated in all kernels/ROMs due to their significance. So such a list would almost always be incomplete.

However, I could see value in, for each stock release from EB13 forward, a list of known bugs (e.g., camera lag, dropped keys, gsensor miscalibration, etc.) with links to threads/posts containing known fixes and/or kernels/ROMs that fix them.

That way there's an easy starting point for end-users, when encountering a known bug, to figure out where/how to obtain a fix.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Like I said. The only patch for eb13 is the camera lag which is just a missing codeline. The hardware keyboard drops keys regardless. The malware removal thing is all phones.

And even so, those were the only 3? Do you think a wiki is needed? Id say you just created a thread that organized all the fixes needed for eb13 right there lol
[Epic 4G General] dmanwithnoname:
OK. Just checking. I guess a thread is all we need then. lol.
[Android Apps and Games] im_iceman:
Hi - Is anyone aware of an Android app that will allow you to access your Windows Media Player library over the internet, remotely (ie from someone elses house)?

I can access it in the house using 2player.. but what would be really cool would be able to access my media over the internet from a friends house, or even at work..

Or do I need to install a third party app on my PC at home too? (I'd rather not do that unless it's the only option... and if it is the only option.. which one is the best one to choose?)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] Abra_Cadabra:
I've been using Android for some time now first with the HTC Desire and now with the HTC Desire Z. I'm sorely tempted by the GSII and have already pre-ordered on clove (can always cancel :) but need to be in queue).

For me the app that I use the most is Exchange Sync (E-Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Corporate directory lookup). Something stock Android sucks at (and even Cyanogen mod doesn't help on that score) but HTC have done quite well with the HTC mail client on top of Sense.

Never used a Samsung device before and have been hunting high and low on how well they do Exchange sync. The press release does mention full support etc however can anyone point me in the direction of some screen shots or feature lists. Lots of minor niggles in stock android like inability to view inline images, unable to lookup corporate contacts, unable to forward calender invites I'm hoping don't get carried over to the Samsung implementation.

Please don't suggest third party mail clients.. I've tried them all and just don't like how they always feel like they are layered on top rather than fully integrated and a lot of them are resource hogs as well.

Any feedback appreciated. TIA.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] das8nt:
I have been scouring the interwebs trying to find the answer to my question, but nothing fits perfectly or completely confirms what I am looking for.

The Atrix currently has not custom recovery option, so we have no dedicated command to wipe just the Dalvik-Cache. In the stock recovery there is an option to Wipe Cache Partition. How do these two compare? Is the Wipe Cache Partition just as safe as wiping the Dalvik alone, and does it take care of the Dalvik?

I found a partial answer for a manual wipe, but it's instructions are incorrect for our file system. This is the Terminal code I could find:

$su
#cd /system/sd/dalvik-cache
#rm *
#exit
$exit

BUT, our Dalvik-Cache is not in system/sd, correct? I've only found it in /data. I can try this, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't clearing out something I wasn't supposed to. Is this just the new file/folder structure for 2.2+?

This would be what I'd try:

$su
#cd /data/dalvik-cache
#rm *
#exit
$exit

This correct?

Thanks in advance for the help!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgmichna:
Cache partition vs. Dalvik cache

Clear question, no answer! I stumbled over it because I have the exact same question.

Apparently, reading some vague information elsewhere, the two are not the same. The Dalvik cache can always be wiped---it will be rebuilt automatically. It contains the Java code that was translated on the fly by the just-in-time compiler.

I am not so sure about wiping the cache partition. Can that do damage?

We do have the option to wipe dalvik cache in the custom recovery options for Atrix both in Romracers or Rommanager 's recovery.

To access boot to the recovery and then go to advanced and then u should find wipe dalvik cache option.

[Android Software Development] dk_zero-cool:
I have used most of the day searching the web, downloading build tools, source codes etc. What I wanted was to build a new kernel for the Emulator, which I finally managed to do.

My problem however is that this did not solve the problem I was trying to fix. My Emulator shell does not act as it do on my phone. Example, if I try using "chmod a+x file" I get the message "Bad mode", even if a push the chmod binary from my phone. If I try to do anything with busybox, I get the message "[1] Illegal instructions". If I try to execute a regular shell script, I get "[1] Illegal instructions" unless I run it using sh "sh file" instead of "./file". If I try using "df -h" I get the message "Illegal option", again even if I push my phones df binary.

All of this works fine on my phone "HTC Desire, Oxygen 2.0 (2.3.3)".

How to I make this Emulator "Platform 10 (2.3.3)" work as my phone does?

[EDIT]

Sry, must have screwed something up when I was building Busybox the first time. Compiled it again (Don't know what I did different this time), and now it worked. Busybox installed, and the shell works normally.

Hi all,

I am completely new to smartphones, etc. searching the web I found reference to:

[APP][v1.1 release]Enhance your phone in one amazing toolbox——ZDbox by Ikaola and signed up and downloaded the file. My problem now is I do not know what to do with it. How do I install it?

It seems from the replies/comments that this is a very useful application.

Any help greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] alienhunt:
Don't bother

mate, if you are completely new to smartphones, then you shouldn't be messing with something you don't understand. I have been using my Desire (first smartphone) for 8 months almost, and I know I still know crap about it despite rooting it and flashing it.

Stay away from the toolbox and play with the phone in other ways.

Alternatively, if you want an easy way to install apps (.apk), go to your Market app and search for appinstaller. Using your SD card to download various apps from here and wherever else, you can install them without HTC Sync or a computer at all.

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] whatsitfor:
Thanks

Thank you for the advice.

When I posted the question I wasn't thinking clearly. I had downloaded the app to my PC and then wondered how to get it installed on the phone. The logical thing would have been to download directly to the phone. I will try to be more alert before asking another dumb question.

Thank you for your courtesy.

you can connect your phone to your PC in usb storage mode and transfer it to your sd card. from there I recommend using Astro file Manager from the market place to install it.:)

[Nook Color General] britoso:
Hi,

I'm in the process of preparing my sd card to try many of the available ROMs and noticed that common step is that a bootable sdcard partition is needed (either for clockwork recovery, or the actual bootable image)

I was thinking of partitioning my existing 4GB microsd card into 2 partitions 512MB,3.5GB and use the first partition for nook install purposes.

i.e the first partition/drive letter in windows will be the target of the image.

Will this work?

ps: created the two partitions using ubuntu's disk utility (virtualbox), the first one has the bootable flag..

Update:

Will attempt autonooter 3.0 like this!

dd command and output:

me@laptop:~$ sudo dd if=/mnt/share/auto-nooter-3.0.0.img of=/dev/sdb1
249344+0 records in
249344+0 records out
127664128 bytes (128 MB) copied, 32.303 s, 4.0 MB/s
me@laptop:~$ ls -l /dev/sdb1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 17 2011-03-02 17:58 /dev/sdb1

Update2:

It did not work. (autonooter didnt work/run)

I simply see two drives mounted (MyNOOKColor and AutoNooter2), NC reports a damaged sd card.

Update3:

All ok now, used one partition with autonooter

thanks

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RatRedux:
When I first got my Tilt, I had the mms settings set to use epc.tmobile.com. I got mms messages intermittently and sometimes incomplete. I couldn't send them at all. I then reset it to wap.voicestream.com (same as the web settings) and I haven't had any issues since.

FWIW, I had trouble with epc.tmobile.com on the Samsung Gravity T that I had before I got the Tilt.

As for a GPS app, just download the Google Maps app. It works just fine with the Tilt, though sometimes you have to play with the GPS port settings if it doesn't find the satellites right away.

As long as the phone is unlocked, a hard reset won't lock it back to AT&T (assuming you got a branded Tilt like me). I've done 3 hard resets and the only thing you have to do is pull the battery before the AT&T software reloads itself. The software won't lock the phone but it's pointless to have a bunch of apps taking up memory that you can't use. Supposedly you can alter a file in Windows that won't let them attempt to load in the first place but I've been unable to change it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisisCorE:
Hello there! I hope that I am not annoying you, but I am having issues with partitioning my SD Card, that have not yet been discussed here, so a step by step guide would be highly appreciated, because otherwise I am just too stupid.

I have a fully unlocked HTC Desire with alpharev's S-OFF, most recent radio & stuff. Partitioning my SD with Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.5 just won't work, it DOES something, but when plugging my Desire on my PC, it shows me ONE FAT32 partition, just as it was before, which takes up all the SD's space. Neither does it work with ROM Manager.

It got really weird when I manually partition it with GParted on my Ubuntu:

My Setup was:

1 FAT32 Partition, size: maximum what was left.

2 EXT4 Partitions, one 768MB, one 256 just as recommended for DATA2EXT HERE

No SWAP Partition.

Then my sdcard can't even be mounted by CWM-recovery - it says wrong parameter :eek:

I can still access it via 'mount usb storage', and fully access and format it in any way I like.

Any hints, step-by-steps or any help at all on how to correctly partition my sdcard? GParted there are settings like partition tables and stuff. what should I choose to make my SD Android-mountable??

EDIT: I think I got it. haven't yet tried it, but I think my fat pertition exceeded 2GB, gonna try later.

[About XDA developers] Shadow666walker:
I had an HTC Hero (CDMA) and decided to root it. After success and a few rom swaps a mislabeled rom killed it. BUT I was ready to upgrade anyway so I got my hands on an HTC EVO 4G. I read up on different root methods and scoured forums to gather as much info as I could to avoid any "mishaps". I noticed 80% of the information was coming from XDA, so I decided to stick with this forum. After an hour of getting my EVO I had root access. As of now I have full root with updated radio, etc. I've had very little issues with the process this time around and whatever problems I did have a quick search on XDA solved them rather quickly. Thank you to all the XDA devs that make information so easy to find. You guys truly rock. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Diablo009 for the advice. I am from Canada and I am running stock Rogers Froyo on my i896 Captivate. I am reading lots and taking small steps before flashing a custom ROM.

After that I want to flash Firefly on my phone restore my APN and TI backups. What I need to know is if in a few months Gingerbread becomes available and I restore my original ROM using Clockworkmod will Kies recognize my Captivate even though I keep a Custom Recovery?

Have you, or anyone for that matter, updated your ROM using Kies after adding a custom recovery to your Captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Nope. I am out of the service provider loop for everything. I get all I want from these forums, and don't even bother to connect to kies for anything. And long before the service provider can even think of GB, we'd be have many ROMs based on it.

If u plan to use kies for any updates, I would recommend to revert to stock and update.
