[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBigFeathers:
I was looking to see if anyone else is having this issue I am having. I have had two different Incredibles. I have rooted each one multiple times and gone back to completely stock with the RUU file multiple times. I have noticed that when I am running completely stick with stock recovery neither phone will randomly reboot. As soon as I root with Unrevoked I start getting random reboots with the stock ROM. I do always install the same apps after I root so I don't know if it's one of the apps.

The only apps I install after root are:

ROM Manager

ShootMe

Wireless Tether

That's it. I noticed my phone generally runs a little slower also after rooting. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhornbeck123:
Are you running a custom kernel? The only time I have had issues with random reboots was when I installed a kernel that my phone did not like. For instance, I can run hydrakernel 1.13, but if I try to overclock to 1.15, I tend to get random reboots. One other possibility would be to try a new kernel, that could help with the reboot issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Also, try running fix permissions in ROM Manager, or run it from recovery.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I realize that most of the apps I install simply crash (almost 20% or 30%).

Also, sometimes they are totally buggy because they do not respect the specifity of local markets where they are made available (e.g. in France apps will not work with researches including French accents, or coma "," instead of dot "." before decimals), which means the developers actually did not respect MS' guidelines.

Examples:

- FourSquare that does not accept french accents

- IMDB that crashes in France,

- Factbook quiz that crashes,

etc, etc, etc

In my opinion such high number of buggy apps is totally not acceptable.

Why Microsoft validate all those apps that are not reliable ? ? ? !

I am fed up. It gives a very bad image of the Marketplace. And it makes me waste my time.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Infuriated-Germ:
Starting to feel the same way too after what looked like a promising start to the OS. The quality of some of these apps is incredibly low.

And what is Microsoft doing with postponing these much needed updates?

Their SDLC for the platform appears to be falling apart.

Having been a MS Phone user since WinMo5, I'm seriously starting to regret investing in WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
The problem is probably that Microsoft want to claim as soon as possible that they have more than 10.000 apps available on the Marketplace.

But what's the use if most of these apps are actually not reliable and crash ??

Quantity is one thing, but WP7 customers are also entitled to some quality apps.

It's a shame that developers do not respect MS' guidelines with respect to local market rules (decimals, accents, etc.) and that Microsoft do not verify this.

I could make a very long list of apps I tested and immediately uninstalled because they crashed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
I think this could be easily fixed by limiting certain Marketplace apps to certain regions. It's not the developer's fault if they're from the US if they don't want to or see a need to support French characters and accents... MS just needs to make the app unavailable in France. Would you prefer MS to do that, than to let you try it and fail?
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Yeah, I'm in the US and very few app issues here... guess it's just elsewhere.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jgcaap:
Hello. I think i know what you guys mean, but this has to do with the OS . After the updates i'm sure everything will become much more fluid and less buggy . :) Its normal !

I've found alot working apps. Btw apps wich you used and downloaded from the market homebrew aplication, it'll give alot of problems. Oficial paid apps, are working very fluid!

Never had issues with facebook app

:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Hrmmm . . . I guess I need to start downloading more apps. I have not come across any that crash. I have had an issue where the app will not launch, but restarting my device permanetly fixed the issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] CSMR:
Microsoft should't be responsible for this directly.

What Microsoft can do is:

-Create better ratings so you can judge what apps are good, including stability.

-Efficiently ensure you get a refund when apps are unsatisfactory.

-Prevent a crashing app from taking down the system. I guess this is already done.

-Make it easy to write correct, therefore stable apps. This is already done quite well with .NET.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cervtel:
I dont get it either how can someone that is tring so hard phail so bad (limiting apps, multitasking). They humor us with their claim that no multitasking will make it more stable but i have never had a phone that crashes so much; my droid has possible crashed once every quarter this phone crashed daily/weekly.

For restricting so many apps from the market WP7 apps are so unstable even default apps i.e Market place, web, anything in zune, would not mind if they crashed but christ can you add a app manager so i dont have to reboot the phone. and god what pisses me off the most is that if you have multiple alarms going off at the same time (snooze(im a heavy sleeper)) the screen will freeze but still allows the stand by button to work; like dang its still 6am (oh **** its frozen im late, thanks wp7)
[Windows Phone 7 General] iwantnokia:
Crazy... most is user problem.... my HTC 7 Mozart very smooth.... after change memory to 16GB.... one word "Power" next target "32GB"

Sometime problem come with you internet connection instead of OS itself.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] thepinkrabbit:
Too many different devices. Different hardware. Many bugs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] iwantnokia:
Choose HTC...... lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Actually, that's the problem in many cases - consumers have chosen HTC and are being penalized for it because of the [at times] sub-par SD-card used rather than NAND.

I had a HD7 for a while before getting the O7's and it [HD7] crashed far more often than the Omnia has ever done. Not just the marketplace/zune crash but also applications refusing to start because they're taking too long to load etc. I've seen similar problems on my HD2 and a Mozart but not on either of my O7s or the LG I used for about a week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jiv3turk3y89:
Your right, M$ does need to stop validiating so many apps
[About XDA developers] dave_27:
Hi all,

i made a very very simple application that is just a link to xda forum for google chrome and chromium browsers.

Hope you enjoy!

Dave
[About XDA developers] svetius:
Neat! What are the steps to get this to work?
[About XDA developers] mrgreeny:
not to slate your work or flame etc, i'm sure its pretty cool (without testing it). but can't that just be done like through bookmarks? :)
[About XDA developers] Kent_Davis:
REALLY?

Is it necessary to do this? someone is trying to better this community and then sure enough somebody else comes along and wants to show them up. PLUS you did not even test it to see what it does.

Amazing the audacity some people have shame on you Mr. Greeny!
[About XDA developers] dave_27:
You have to use chromium or google chrome, unzip folder, then

Bring up the extensions management page by clicking the wrench icon and choosing Tools ->Extensions.

If Developer mode has a + by it, click the + to add developer information to the page. The + changes to a -, and more buttons and information appear.

Click the Load unpacked extension button. A file dialog appears.

In the file dialog, navigate to your extension's folder and click OK.

Hope you'll like it!
[About XDA developers] dave_27:
newer version

I've made a .crx file extension, now it's easy to install, just open it with chromium or chrome and then click install.

Dave
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
I installed it, but can't see any change? Where should it be adding the link? :confused:
[About XDA developers] dave_27:
if you have the latest version of google chrome or chromium you should see it every time you open a new tab, just near all other google apps....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobis1dm:
Flashed a new ROM last night, and when I did, I cleaned house on a lot of the apps like normal. However, I got rid of Peep too, not thinking about the FriendStream I'd like to use. So I tried installing a copy from a previous backup, and it told me no. The setup won't even list Twitter as an available account sync. Is there a way to get it up and running without flashing again?
[Atrix 4G General] Notacop:
I have a rooted Atrix 4G and I am having a very weird problem with it.

If I go into Settings->SD Card & Phone Storage while no USB is connected it shows the following:

[B][SIZE="2"]Internal Phone Storage (media area)[/SIZE][/B]
[B]Total Space[/B] - 10.71GB
[B]Available Space[/B] - 10.60GB
[B]Unmount Internal Phone Storage[/B] (selectable option)
[B]Format Internal Phone Storage[/B] (grayed out/unselectable)

Makes sense... all is good right? Until I plug in USB (debugging mode selected, USB mass storage for connection type). The Notification bar shows:

[B][SIZE="4"]Ongoing[/SIZE]
USB debugging connected[/B]
Select to disable USB debugging
[B]USB connection[/B]
Select to manage your USB connection
[B][SIZE="4"]Notifications[/SIZE]
Internal phone storage is unmounted[/B]
Internal phone storage is unmounted

Going into Settings->SD Card & Phone Storage now shows:

Internal Phone Storage (media area)
Total Space - Unavailable
Available Space - Unavailable
Unmount Internal Phone Storage (grayed out/unselectable)
Format Internal Phone Storage (grayed out/unselectable)

What is going on, and how can I get it to mount the internal storage while connected with USB debugging?
[Atrix 4G General] harolds:
Instead of "USB Mass Storage", "Motorola Phone Portal", or "Windows Media Sync" choose "None".
[Atrix 4G General] daniellaury:
Internal Phone Storage is Unmounted - Motorola Atrix

Having the same problem. Seems like when you power off and reboot the phone, while still connected through the USB port, the problem goes away, but I am not really sure. Help would be appreciated.
[Atrix 4G General] kreikins:
I got the same message but it wasn't connected via usb yet i've tried to mount the internal thru recovery settings but it keeps going back yo being unmounted
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Do what he said!

Pull down notification bar > select USB connection > Select None
[Atrix 4G General] GhostOps:
hello i to had this problem but after messing around with different settings i tried to start from the begining so that didnt work and then i wiped everything and i do mean everything if it could be wiped i wiped it clean and installed my download rom i had gotten and still didnt work but i wiped it again and did this 3 times in a row and installed my rom again and it worked so try wiping everything and about 3 times and install a custom rom and see if that works
[Atrix 4G General] ashhanlove:
FIS

The best way to fix it is too... first all the apps from the internal storage... the once that you cannot uninstall move the app and then uninstall and use the format option.. it will def. do it... i had the same problem but in the end it worked.
[Nook Color General] BLKTUT:
:confused: I'm a new to nook color roms but not android. is their any roms currently out that will allow the kids nook color book to be played/read? :confused:
[Nook Color General] C Dippa:
Well, my friend, you now have 1 "Thanks", since I accidentally thanked you instead of hitting reply...hehe

The stock rooted eclair allows for the Kids books, magazines, etc., but none of the other ROMs support the B&N software.

Your best options are dual-booting Eclair and the ROM of your choice, or booting the ROM of your choice from an extra SD card. With the SD card, you just pop the SD card out, and you're back to stock/rooted where the kids can read their books.
[Desire HD General] lejars1:
I've had a very sudden and dramatic improvement in battery life and I thought that I'd post what seems to have worked for me.

I installed setCPU and set it for

768/254 on demand - main

245/245 performance screen off

368/368 performance - battery<41%

battery<101% 768/245 on demand

I installed Ultimate JuiceDefender and set it for extreme - blocking all connectivity except for a white-list

I decided that I could do a better job than the auto screen, so I installed Brightness level and I keep it generally at about 20% and then flick it up a bit if I need it.

I disabled auto rotation and now toggle the screen with a widget.

I've taken phone calls, recorded phone calls, checked email a few times, tweeted - very often using wifi which I operate using a toggle widget

I had the phone on charge all night switched off.

Disconnected it at 8.00 this morning and at 6.30 this evening, the JD widget tells me that there is still 12hrs and 28 mins of battery time left.

Considering the size of the screen and what this phone does. And considering the very poor battery life - 8hrs max I was getting before, I am far happier and the phone now becomes a practical item to have.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Whats your percentage battery left?
[Desire HD General] lejars1:
seems to be saying 72%

I also noticed that for the first time screen usage is less than running usage.

Screen consumption has always been the big factor on phone - and I see that is what people say on the forum, so I'm very pleased to have reduced it so well.

The Brightness level app allows a variable control whereas all the other screen controllers have seen allow you only to rotate through three or four preset brightness levels.

Brightness Level lets you do that with a widget but it also has a slide bar, which is what I was looking for
[Desire HD General] Vispe85:
So basically you've downgraded the DHD to a level of a Nokia S40 device imo :D As this has been covered by many others in many other battery life related threads I'm just saying this short and simple. Just use the device as it is supposed to, enjoy the awesome features it provides at the full potential and don't get fixated on the battery life, it'll get you through the day no problem (doesn't include playing angry birds for three hours straight :p ) and just plug it in when you have the chance.
[Desire HD General] mstevan:
About battery, some tips, my battery life is around 2 days with normal usage of phone, only i dont use 3g only wi-fi:

Brightness - between 25% and 50%

When you on the internet and use native explorer for android go to "Menu-more-settings-enable plugins" and set it to "On demand"

Tupe *#*#4636*#*# - "Phone information" and set "Preffered network type" to "GSM Auto Prl"

Android Revolution HD 2.15 rom
[Desire HD General] lampz:
your on stock rom mate?

i can see that you can charge your phone while its turnd off..

i think on customized ROM like ARHD LD CORE cm7 and etc cannot charge their phone while its off because iT will BOOTup to recovery mode :)
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
Doesn't performance mode just keep the CPU clock on it's maximum? It would rather shorten the battery life than prolong it.
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
Why buy a smartphone and use it like a landline lol i hammer my phone and still get 10-14 hours out of it, thats fine for me, i only get 3hrs out of my laptop lol
[Desire HD General] Locster126:
Mate there is something eating your battery if u only get 8 hours battery life.

These adjustments you made are unnecessary if you find the culprit that is eating your battery, why get a phone like the dhd and run it on 20% brightness and lower the cpu to such a level.

Have you used spare parts to check your battery usage?

Im currently on 40% and my phone has been unplugged since 27 hours and I don't even have setcpu installed.

Maybe you should post details on your barret usage!

Swyped from my sexy galaxy tab
[Desire HD General] lejars1:
But I'm not compromising anything now. I'm completely happy with the way that the phone works for me now.

I'm actually operating the screen at 12% for most of the time - when I am not outside and it doesn't present any difficulty for me.

Obviously I would always like better battery life and I'll look for more ways to improve it.

According to setCPU, if you set it to on demand, it will keep on scanning for required power level. Performance automatically goes to the max. Apparently on demand uses slightly more power so they advice to use performance when possible. So I set the same max/min figure and use a performance governor.
[Desire HD General] darren486:
i would actually consider rooting the phone as an alternative, or getting a bigger battery. i have alot of issue with the battery life previously, but after switching rom, it actually help alot
[Desire HD General] lejars1:
Well it is rooted to enable JD and setcpu to work. But I haven't dared go further because I am still trying to understand the entire process - and also the way back!

I probably will eventually.

I've ordered a 1500 Mugen - and if that actually exists and if it is an improvement on the stock battery then that will advance things as well.

I'm very pleased with the improvement I have achieved so far because at least I'm able to take the thing off the tit for a full working day and use it as a real mobile phone!!
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
this is only true if you're using CMW Recovery 3.x.x.x
[Desire HD General] AndroHero:
No, its on all versions of cwm, you can still charge your phone though, even in recovery
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Yup2x, it's true that we can charge it very well while in recovery mode. I was referring to the situation wherein the printer reboots to recovery as soon as you plug in the charger to your DHD. Some users have reported that and they are all using 3.x.x.x.
[Desire HD General] Fihlvein:
As far as I've understood, you will always have max frequency when performance is applied. So there is no use setting min value really as it doesn't matter.
[Desire HD General] rubenswing:
By far the most excellent advice. I totally agree with you.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exzacklyright:

Check out this thread in the Desire forums http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960076.

Wow, this is the best thing since slided bread (assuming it works). Just called 1-877-724-4659 and a human answered on the first ring. Just asked if I got any type of 3g signal and I said only at front door (true) and that my wifi calling sucked because of my lousy Fios wifi router (true). She said ok and they are shipping it.

It seems that the reason you need a landline is because the 3g repeater throws off the location that 911 will get if you call from your cell phone in your house. She said it can throw it off by 5 miles which would suck in an emergency. They don't want to be responsible for a bad 911 result.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Letting my parents know about this now, Thanks for the heads up.

they have HSPA but a stupid low signal at their house.
[myTouch 4G General] TJBunch1228:
It works, I started a thread exactly like this in the G2 section. It came in less than a week and was literally a plug and play setup. And it works great. I get almost 5mbps now in my house instead of Edge speeds.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
Just tried, can't do it if you live in a condo/apartment since it would have the potential to throw off a neighbor's 911 location as well. Just a heads up to anyone in a similar situation.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
does this have any impact on our HSPA+ speeds?
[myTouch 4G General] Freek91:

also...any cost to this device or is it just call the phone number and voila they send you that big cell antenna ?
[myTouch 4G General] cybereclipse:
umm so I called and I have to pay for shipping...cost me $5.43 for shipping and handling and they send you 3 surveys you have to take

other than that..its free...
[myTouch 4G General] syaoran68:
as of right now its only for residences though so if you live in an apartment your kinda SOL. and for employees its a no go too :( they wouldnt let me get one haha.:D
[myTouch 4G General] Freek91:
cool thanks for the info

so has anyone seen improved 4g speeds? obviously 3g and 4g work off different cell freq but im curious as to if the overall speed across all cell freq are improved
[myTouch 4G General] crxtasi:
Thanks OP I just got done and getting mine shipped free.
[myTouch 4G General] TJBunch1228:
I'm not sure if it increases 4G TBH. Because I have never seen higher than 6.5mbps in my whole city. But it shot my 3G WAY up.

I used to get .05-.50mbps, Edge only in my whole house except up in the corner of one upstairs room. I put the repeater in the that room and the transmitter in my living room and now I see 3-4mbps in my whole house during peak traffic. In the middle of the night I randomly run speedtest (yes, I'm a junkie) and I'll see 6mbps.
[myTouch 4G General] Amd4life:
BIG thanks to the OP, as I needed on of these bad

Pretty sure that's how it started, but this deal has been going on for like 6 months now. I'm sure it has well over a thousand participants by now. When I got mine last month, the chick even told me they have all the survey data they need and wouldnt even be sending me any.

Also you are supposed to live in a single family dwelling and have a landline, however they do not verify either, so if you really want one, just tell them what they want to hear.
[myTouch 4G General] jester450:
called 877-724-4659

just played really stupid

told them my connection is really bad, which it is

toggles from no bar H to full bar E, which would be ok if i got data through E, but 99% of the time i dont. have to toggle from GSM/WCDMA auto to GSM only, then back. though it was the phone, but other places i get E there's no problems. anywhooooo

some things that may help

1. tell them you're getting really crapy reception at your house - this is key. make sure you tell them it's a detached house

2. tell them you DO NOT have internet at your home

3. tell them you use the phone for work

they're shipping mine out today with free ground shipping.

So I called and I live in an apartment. Of course they knew this because of my billing address. my apt # is 2. It's a 4 family apartment building. I lied and basically said that it's a two family house and my mom lives in the apartment downstairs so even though I have an apartment # that there are only 2 apartments. They approved me and are sending it to me!! Thanks OP!

edit: It was free shipping.. they offered express shipping for 19.99 but I just chose standard
