Yessir. I have only one small complaint but it runs great. It's annoying when you hit back out of a PM, it exits the app. That's the only complaint I have right now.

Ok I've made a goldcard and can get to where you do the hackerize-ace install-downgrade and it does the sd checking and says loading PD98IMG.zip then goes to a checking PD98IMG and says model ID incorrect update fail. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or how to fix this. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
model ID incorrect update fail is a bad gold card. at least that's what the other hundred posts of users with the same error are told.

yep. RE-do your gold card. Make sure you format the card fully and not a quick format. Try different micro sd cards as well. There should be a gold card helper tool floating around here to help you out too.

Hi Guys

This may be a very dense question and I appologise if it is, however seen as I'm rooting a phone by proxy (my friend lives in Canada) I want to make sure he doesn't end up with a bricked phone on the other side of the the Atlantic :(

I've rooted android phones before and the process for the G2 doesn't look like it'll give me any difficulties in guiding my friend through it. My question is this;

Is the process for rooting the G2 the same for the DZ or have HTC added anything extra onto the hardware or software that necessitates an extra step or different method??

Again sorry if this is a dense question but thought I'd check to be sure
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guhl99:
Well if the main firmeware version of the DZ phone is higher then 1.34 then it is different to root the DZ because you have to downgrade to 1.34 first.

There are several threads about this here in the forum and there is a comprehensive guide for the DZ here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting or the longer guide (if the CID of the phone is not supported by the 1.34 rom you need a goldcard first) here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905261

So microsoft releasing their second online survey on the experience or lack of it on windows phone 7

So rather than ranting here it would be better to send the feedback to MS directly

So heres the link :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Sweet! Gave 'em a piece of me ol' mind.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Me too.

I'm fairly forgiving when it comes to Microsoft, but this takes the cake for sure. I urge everyone to rip'em a new one on this survey and I bet you we won't see a 90% plus satisfactory rating next time they release any numbers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ wanna make a bet on it
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
LOL

I actually don't think they would manufacture numbers. I am confident that the numbers they reported earlier were real. What will happen now is that they'll simply leave the satisfactory rating out of the press release ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
You sure this a new one? The copyright date is 2010 and it has the same questions as the other one
[Windows Phone 7 General] evolutionqy7:
Ah sure :) people discover new things over time. And it still contains what would you change and your favorite feature texts box :)

It has a few changes in it though
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i personally don't even think this is an MS survey... wouldn't they use their own systems not some third party to take a survey?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Nope, it's official. Been tweeted by various MSFT employes/teams for a while now. You should probably use this Uri though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
thanks for the link. Biggest gripe is the delays on the updates. When they announced wp7, they promised an aggressive update schedule that would get to all phones around the same time. Still no pre- nodo updates in the usa and apparently nodo has been finished by MS since december and still not released....

Other than that, I do love my phone, just give me the updates you have promised.

And how about updating IE separate of the OS so it doesn't get the carrier run around.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Perlnx:
Is it survey from MS ?

If it from MS, here we go..
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Did it......!
[Windows Phone 7 General] wp7dev007:
survey

I too, ragged about the updates.

I like the phone, but the updates need to come faster. Maybe that is what the ill-fated update to help the update process is supposed to be -- making things easier.

Let's hope so.

The real problem is these sites which incessantly get our hopes up because they want to one-up each other and get the "word" (which turns out to be poppycock) out and announce that they have learned (guessed, or completely fabricated is more like it) the actual update time. Then all us users hope its true and actually get pissed when it isn't.

They are all brainwashers! Believe none of them unless they refer to a Microsoft URL.

Enjoy Windows Phone 7!

wow

hey , sound good,

i hope working an topaz,too

i think they both phones have similar technical data.

i dont understand why cpu is to slow, lenin reds built with sense

run much more faster from sdcard than this nand built ????

btw good work from the DFT Team , thx

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Zimaia:
Well, i don't know if this will be the same decision for topaz. But if yes then it's a bad bad info for me :(:(:(

I just hate pure android and sense in android rocks!!

I also don't understand this because i have lenin build and it's fasttt from sdcard!!!

Shouldn't be even faster from nand??

Anyway thanks for all who make this possible even if it no feet my needs!!

Thank you
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] wavesshock:
AFAIK nand is not faster than sd-method. But it would allow you too get rid off winmo. :p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] stirkac:
actually guys, your phone won't improve that much after NAND. believe me i'm hd2 user and i have used android since first versions based off xdandroid..

as far as speed goes, read/write is actually faster on sdcard!

only andvantage of nand is stability and power consumption, ofcourse after all quirks are polished.

qc's 528 msm's are too slow to run sense well. it can get slow even on 1ghz. wvga is too much to handle, and sense is very ram sensitive! maybe if someone could get it upscaled from hvga, but in that case it would be streched..

i also own both diamonds(I and II) and i would love to see winmo gone. but on good port like leo(feels like native device) we had advantage of few devices with same components built in and much work being already done, and i do not see wvga android with small screen and 528mhz released by htc.

i'm just being realistic here, not mean or anything else.

1 - Topaz is very small mobile phone. I am don't wants to use such big phone like HD2.

2 - Battary life in topaz is more longer

3 - It have smaler screan and that is why it is more clear.

you misunderstood my post, i'm just tryin to say how thing are and hd2 was best example i could think of. i like my diamonds very much. first gen was really awesome on looks, but low on hardware(slow and small ram..etc).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
It was closed-source, and I don't believe they ever made a public release. Since none of the code is available to the public, no other dev can pickup where they left off...

Crappy model to go with. Were still pushing forward with NAND using open source concepts, and RHOD is getting there (just very slowly). I'm hoping each device will have at least one dev that will step up and get the dirty work done to look towards NAND on all devices... but that hasn't happened yet. There's not even that much (developer) steam behind NAND on RHOD...

maybe this sounds funny but on windows mobile 6 i guess i use elecont weather, this weather app created a calendarhistory for the weather, so you can check the weather from last week, last month... :)

I try Elecont Weather for Android, but this feature are not in, so i´m unsure was it Elecont Weather ?

Anyone have idea which weather app can do this ?

I try Google Calendar Weather but it give you only a 4 day forecast and on the next days the weather are gone for last days :(

Hiya guys,

Just tried to flash my Galaxy S i9000 to Froyo following Virnik0's post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818556

After doing the first part of the process Odin said 'reset' and then said '1 success/0 failed'

I then tried to go to step 8 but the phone wouldn't reboot itself. I was able to get it into Download mode so I just continued all the way to step 17.

Again it didn't reboot itself.

Now nothing is working.

When USB is connected it just shows the loading circle again and again.

With USB disconnected it just shows the Samsung Galaxy in white logo again and again.

I am able to get it into Download mode.

However I am unable to get it into Recovery mode.

Any help to get this baby working again would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastPwnz:
I'm currently debating buying WidgetLocker, but I'm a bit skeptical since I'm not sure how bad it will lag with my current sleep profile. Can any WidgetLocker users possibly shed some light if they think it will lag on my phone? I'll put my profiles below.

Temp > 38.6C, Priority: 100, 480 max 160 min, ondemand
Charging/Full, Priority: 75, 710 max 245 min, ondemand
Battery < 25%, Priority: 50 ,480 max 245 min, ondemand
Screen Off, Priority: 25, 245 max 160 min, ondemand

If my sleep profile would make it lag, would bumping it up to 245 max 245 min help any?

Profile recommendations are welcome as well if theres anything that could be done to improve performance without sapping an excessive amount of battery. I have noticed my phone lags waking up sometimes and occasionally just when it's being used.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I would put your sleep profile at either the 2nd or 3rd highest priority - either right after the overtemp profile, or after the "on charger/full" profile.

my profiles usually look something like this (ordered from highest to lowest priority) :

- temperature (can have more than one; highest (over-)temp has highest priority)

- charging/full

- screen off

- battery (can have more than one; lowest battery % has highest priority)

- battery < 101% (this is the sort of like the "off charger, not overtemp, screen on state)

If the "screen off" profile has a higher priority than all the battery conditions, then all the "battery" conditions certainly can only be effective when the screen is on. (Note that the way you have it now, your < 25% battery condition always "wins" over the screen-off profile)

Also, note that your profiles don't contain anything matching the "off charger, 25% < battery < 101%" condition as they stand - what is controlling that, the default profile?

I'm not sure that there are big gains to be had by ratcheting down the min/max cpu frequency for low battery conditions: when you have the display on, it could well be drawing more power than the CPU - so, if your goal is to save battery, it would make sense to have whatever it is you want "computed" to show up on the screen as quickly as possible - so that you can shut the screen off that much quicker.

For the same reason, if most of the time the phone is on you are just "staring at the screen", and nothing is going on in the background, allowing the rate governor to drop to a low frequency saves you only a little bit (if the screen is really the dominant juice-user in that scenario.)

My GSB v1.6 Eris reports using only 2-3 % overnight - it's screen off profile is set to 160/245 - and I seem to be using the "interactive" governor on all profiles ... but I also use Toggle2G with a 10-minute sleep onset delay.

( Probably that means that I don't get email notifications as soon as I could, but that doesn't bother me much - I get them as soon as I unsleep the phone. If you are the type of person that needs to look at their phone every time your facebook updates, then Toggle2G perhaps isn't for you.)

I can't prove it, but so long as you don't peg your CPU minimum frequency too high, and rely on the rate governor to do it's job, most power savings are likely to come from managing the radio state and the screen brightness.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
What percentages do u recommend bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastPwnz:
Never a post that isn't enlightening from you. :p

Yes my default clock profile (710 max 160 min, might bump it up to 245 min) is the one managing the clock rate when the phone is off the charger. As for Toggle2G that might not be a bad idea, I keep my phone on Airplane Mode most of the time I'm at school (horrible signal = battery draining out the wazoo) but it might not be a bad idea to have for when I'm not at school. Of course I'm not sure I would need it though since I have an extended battery, maybe something to experiment with.

As for profiles, something like this?

Temp > 38.6C, Priority: 100, 480 max 160 min, ondemand
Screen Off, Priority: 75, 245 max 160 min, ondemand
Charging/Full, Priority: 50 ,710 max 245 min, ondemand
Battery < 25%, Priority: 25, 480 max 245 min, ondemand
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you are already using Airplane Mode because of poor signal conditions, Toggle2G won't help much - the battery will drain just looking for voice/1xRTT service (not to mention 3G). I have a pretty good signal where my phone spends most of it's time, including overnight ( -70 dBm to -80 dBm )

Seems OK. I have a couple of battery profiles where I slowly drop the max frequency, and make the default condition explicit by using a "battery < 101%" profile, as in:

Pr Min/Max Governor Condition

90 245/480 interactive Temp > 50.0 C *audible alarm

80 245/604 interactive Temp > 45.2 C

70 528/710 interactive Charging

60 160/245 interactive Screen Off

50 160/480 interactive Battery < 15%

40 160/528 interactive Battery < 25%

30 245/604 interactive Battery < 40%

20 480/710 interactive Battery < 67%

10 480/729 interactive Battery < 101%

I'm not sure this really produces much effect in terms of battery savings, though - for instance, it runs counter to my suggestion (above) that it might actually hurt to slow things down with reduced battery reserve because you just end up with the screen on longer.

I'll also mention that for a period of time I was actually convinced that using setCPU was causing random freeze-ups when used with certain combinations of the CFS kernel, governor choice, and min frequency - and so I didn't even have it installed on my phone. I only recently put setCPU back on my phone because I was noticing that CPUboost settings did not seem to be sticking even within the same session (perhaps I was misinterpreting something, I'm not sure). No random freeze-ups lately.

Because some of the things which actually drain the battery - cell radio, screen time on & brightness, 3G activity level, etc., are so highly variable, I'm not sure that any of the reports on this forum (including mine) can be regarded as particularly meaningful. It takes real dedication to the task (creating reproducible signal conditions and compute/activity workloads) to be able to produce quality data about battery usage. Most folks need to use their phones throughout the day (moving continuously from place to place with widely varying signal levels), so they can't set their phones aside to do such things; their usage is not repeatable, so it is hard to believe them, whether they are saying "great battery life", or "battery life sucks!".

Heck, even at night, when my phone isn't "doing anything", (which you would think would be sort of "reproducible") if I move it 8 inches one way or another on the nightstand, my signal level can change by 10 dBm. That means that if I don't use Airplane Mode overnight, it is really not too meaningful to compare "configuration X" to "configuration Y" on successive nights - because the battery usage by the radio is not reproducible.

I guess the bottom line is - if you can get a full day out of the phone, be happy with that; it's just about what the phone was designed to do.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastPwnz:
Hm, I might try those profiles with a few tweaks, or I might just end up bumping up my screen off profile in terms of priority, not sure yet.

Another question, what do you suggest as far as governors go? I seem to have the most success with ondemand, but I've never tried interactive. I learned the hard way that smartass lags my phone horribly, not sure why.

With my extended battery, I've gone roughly 65 hours total uptime with about 45% battery left with moderate use. I guess I should be proud of that. :p
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wow you actually set a max of 480 for merely being over 38.6C??? I think that's a bit extreme. Other than that your profiles aren't that different than what I use (using Conap's CPUBoost tool, what are you using?).

I love WidgetLocker, and yes it's one of the only two apps I've actually purchased. Lag or not I wouldn't trade it.

The only "issue" (not necessarily WL's fault) is that using the Theme Chooser under GB ROMs, at least with the Speedometer Battery theme, definitely causes WL to lose what widgets are on it between reboots, although not always every reboot, but most of them.

It's confirmed that the solution is to not use Theme Chooser, at least with the Speedometer Battery theme. I don't know for sure if other themes cause it as well, but it's easily reversed (go back to the stock theme) if it does.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastPwnz:
I'm still using SetCPU.

Yes I do knock it down that far, my phone heats up like crazy while I'm at school (terrible signal) and once it reaches 100F I could use the phone as a hand warmer and if I take off the back I can smell burning plastic. Maybe thats normal for the Eris, but I use it just as a precautionary measure.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I haven't spent much time trying to figure out the "best" governor - I tend to use either "ondemand" or "interactive" without giving it too much thought. I tried smartass for a while, and remember being not happy with it for some reason or another; but I don't remember what those reasons were. ( It might have been nothing more than "choppiness" of scrolling behaviors. )
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastPwnz:
Now my curiosity is getting the best of me. Whats the difference between ondemand and interactive? (Sorry for all my questions <.<)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I don't know for sure...

... but I can tell you that the exact answer to your question is right here.

:)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToastPwnz:
Hidden within that garbled mess. :p

I kid, I think I found the explanation you had in mind, and from what I can find the only major difference is that interactive is more aggressive then ondemand. I'm not sure if I should take that governor for a test run or not, I do notice that my phone lags when waking up occasionally. It kind of sounds like switching to interactive might help that.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
You probably have your reasons, but when you're at school, why don't you put it in Airplane mode and just take it off it between classes to check emails and such? Save your battery and the heat of your Eris a bunch.

Or do you and you just use the temperature profile as a fallback in case you forget to put it back in Airplane mode? :)
