[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vispe85:
Just a really wild guess, which launcher are you using? As I'm using launcher pro plus and it has a tendency to freeze after restart and the screen has no response for a while, usually it force closes automatically and restarts instantly after and works perfect. I'm on CM7 latest nightly and haven't tried other roms for a while so it might not be comparable. So if you are using launcher pro then try to manually restart it if it doesn't force close itself and start again. And if you're not, well just ignore this :p

hello all i have dj steve's 2.2 rom and having trouble putting my unlock code in that i just got i put a non 02 sim in me streak but it wont show the unlock screen can any one help me out please thanks.
[Streak 5 General] racesurg:
Hi. Can you boot directly into the Home Screen with your new SIM card in the phone? If you can, then maybe it's already network-unlocked. Just a maybe. :)
[Streak 5 General] fastwanabe:
This happened to me as well and I had to flash stock rom so that the unlock screen would show.... As far as I know there is no other way to do it.
[Streak 5 General] buff:
thanks but the phone wasnt unlocked before i dj steved it but yes it boots to the home screen i spose i will have to put stock rom on it i have spent ages updateing this to 2.2 as i can not run comand lines from my computer any one know where i can find a 1.6 or 2.1 02 offical zip thanks :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sharp Rock:
Your best bet is to head back to THAT forum (CoreDroid, or Simple Root), and post your problem there. Someone will help you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] LilGBlood:
I pasted it there, thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Can you get into recovery from the bootloader? If so wipe dalvik, data partition, and data factory reset. The flash the rom you want. Check the clockwork mod version your using. If you have 3.0. 0.5 you need to flash cm7. If you have 2.5. 1.3 flash your coredroid.

Coredroid takes about 5 mins to start
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nchall:
I am looking for an app/mod that will allow me to control music through headset buttons (via PowerAmp) and when the screen is off through the side volume buttons. All I need to replace my iPod!

I know this is possible on CM7, but I am wondering if there is a way to do this without installing a rom.

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] evilkorn:
Just root and install a custom rom. This is a system level change where root is required.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nchall:
Thanks for the reply.

Is it only CM7 roms, or do you think any others, in particular for p500/Optimus T would have it?
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
I bought a new sony headphone with microphone today. Though it says "headset for iphone calls", the mic actually works. The issue is that its sensitivity is way too low and people can hardly hear me through the headphone mic.

it's really frustrating cuz I already had a headphone and I buy this one mainly for making phone calls...

So my question is that, is there a way to control the voltage gain of the mic independently?

thank you guys in advance~~~~~

Has anyone tried installing the scrolling bookmarks widget from honeycomb? wondering if i could just pull it from the rom and use it on my N1 but im not sure if its compatible. i love that little widget.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
I am using TB for my backups and restores as I'm flashing roms quite a bit. The only problem I have is that my standard email (not the gmail app) accounts are not restored. This happens if I go from stock to CM or Axura.

I think i am probably just doing something wrong, but I don't know. Can anybody advise.

I searched before this post but didn't find the answer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Email is considered a system app. It won't save unless you want to save that, but it can cause FCs.

I personally use K9 Mail and it sticks for the most part. I prefer K9 mail over the stock Email app.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
Can't thank you enough zephiK.

I just installed and configured K9 and it is way better than the default email app. Many many thanks.

You the man :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Glad I could help :) Another tip is when you open up K9 go into Settings -> Display -> Theme.

Set the theme to dark and you'll save some battery by using a black background ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buachaille:
You certainly did help. Best tip I've had since I got my nexus s.

Gonna try the dark theme now.

And it seems a lot snappier and smoother. I'm running it on Desktop mode and I just loaded up a few pages to see, and it's definitely an improvement. Went to the Toshiba Tablet flash site and the flash was still a bit choppy, but not near as bad as it was when I tested it last night after installing the flash beta leak.

Agreed, this is a phenominal app, but there is one thing I'm trying desperately to figure out. I have of course changed the user agent to desktop, but I have no idea how to change the search function to the non-mobile version of Google (defaults to the mobile version). Anyone have any ideas??:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] futuremonkey:
WHAT I DID:

From stock ROM, albeit rooted -

opened ROM Manager

chose to download CM7rc2, also ticked Google bundle

allowed it to do its thing

Could not log into Google account, same as with CM6 - why does it hate me?

decided to flash back to previous backup

^^ that's where it gets stuck. I have 4 different nandroid backups, and none of them will restore. The best I can get is a boot loop. Right now I'm getting

can't open /cache/recovery/log

[G2 and Desire Z General] userfriendlyme:
What version of clockwork recovery are you using and are you trying to restore a CM6 backup or CM7. Did you wipe before installing CM7? Also its been posted several places about using rom manager to update some have had issues and posted. Its probably best to use it to download the rom you want but for best results installing it manually usually avoids issues atleast for me anyways.

I am using the current version, 3.0.0.5 or something like that (I can't get into my phone to check). I am trying to restore a stock ROM.

[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
The older versions of CWR 3.0.0.5 had some troubles retsoring their backups. Try to find a new one.

And regarding the boot problem.

Try to wipe cache

If it still does not boot, connect it to USB and run an adb logcat while it is booting. Ther should be some helpful information.
[G2 and Desire Z General] futuremonkey:
adb logcat just says "waiting for device" forever.

You can't restore a stock rom with clockworkmod 3, as the stock rom is based on froyo (2.2)

Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Simer03:
damn, that sucks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
You can use CWM 3.0.0.5 to flash between CM7, CM6, stock, etc and restore backups. I do it all the time. The newer versions (after 3.0.0.5) don't have that ability.

The output you provided most likely means you didn't wipe before flashing.

Reboot into recovery and wipe user data as well as cache. A nandroid restore from recovery should wipe automatically. I'm not sure Rom manager does it by default or you have to select the option. Perhaps that's why you got a boot loop.

If the restore fails Use ADB to push a rom. Sounds like it's not recognizing your device (perhaps a driver issue). If you can't use ADB, just mount usb in recovery and transfer a rom update. Remember to wipe cache and data, then flash. You will lose your apps and data, but you can restore them if you used Titanium Backup.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
I do it all the time. The legit version of 3.0.0.5 that's offered through rom manager will allow you to reflash any rom
[G2 and Desire Z General] QaeadarDAzeal:
It was my understanding, unless koush put a fix in recently, that CWM3 only works using the ext4 file system which isn't compatible with CM6 or stock-they use ext3.

What I'd suggest doing is

-downloading the most recent version of CWM3,

-flash that through fastboot,

-try to boot in to recovery,

-wipe the phone, and

-try manually flashing CM7 and then the gapps.

That should resolve everything. If it doesn't, let us know and we'll try something else. Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
He supposedly did but if that's true then why in the world didn't he fix the sd-ext aspect. Still doesn't see the ext partition *sigh*. Anyway, even if he did fix it doesn't mean it

will

work for everyone, especially when dealing with wildly different file systems. Especially with how different each phone can be. It just means it should work - no guarantee. If everyone else's suggestions don't work (which they should), then use rom manager to download and flash the most recent 2.x clockwork.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inthewayboy:
There is a website I go to that hosts flash videos...it's of the adult nature, but that's really not relevant...anyway, when using a previous ROM (Simply AOSP I believe) it would automatically open the video with an external app, which I set to use Rock Player. This was using the Dolphin HD browser, and I did no configuration/settings changes to get this to happen...in fact I found out about it by accident and was shocked it worked as it did.

Now I'm running ACS Frozen and it's back to "normal" where it'll play the video in the browser like it should...does anyone know what I'm talking about and how to get that working again?
[Xoom General] harajuka:
Doesn't look like the xoom did too well..

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4216/apple-ipad-2-gpu-performance-explored-powervr-sgx543mp2-benchmarked
[Xoom General] Vyse666:
To be fair, the Xoom has a higher resolution screen, so these tests are slightly more taxing on it.

However, even if the resolution was the same, the iPad 2 would still come ahead. So, the point still stands.
[Xoom General] jacksmind:
So what was the problem?

Is honeycomb not properly optimized for gl?

Is A5 that much better at 3d than terga?
[Xoom General] Vyse666:
A bit of both, but it's too early to tell.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
That was my first thought, is this a product of nvidia's drivers or out classed hardware. Have a feeling its drivers.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Who cares? I play games on my laptop or console. These are gpu benchmarks not overall performance. I have an ipad and the games get played once in a blue moon. The overall experience on Xoom is much better. Also this is the first release of android on tegra 2. It'll get better, remember the performance jump with Froyo?
[Xoom General] Vyse666:
I thought about this after posting too. The Tegra 2's GPU drivers are probably not up to snuff... yet.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Are we in denial, or do we actually know what we're talking about here?

Unless you simply just have to have Android it is becoming incredibly difficult to justify purchasing a Xoom over an iPad 2. I myself love customization, openess, and so forth... but without proper performance...
[Xoom General] muyoso:
To be fair, performance is pretty good on the Xoom from everything I read. Its not like one device completely outclasses the other one. It is a little annoying that the GPU in the iPad is just a better one than the Tegra 2, but what ya gonna do?
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
so get an ipad. The performance on the Xoom should be good enough for 99% of the people who bought it.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Hmm, I guess you're probably right. Performance doesn't seem to be a complaint, and I'm complaining about something I never do anyways (playing games on my mobile devices).
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Even if the Xoom was out performed (in a meaning full way)... even if it was VASTLY out performed by the I pad... I'd still have the xoom. Its the first viable non-apple tablet (IMO) and that's all I've been waiting for.

Truth be told, I'd rather have something jammed in my pee hole than give a single additional dollar to Apple. If they have their way, the future of technology as a whole will be changed for the considerable worse. Not now, at a time where they are simply one of the driving forces in the evolution of tech, but their vision of a world where Steve Jobs controls our computing destiny is one that I'd rather not see.
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
This is just kinda funny. The Xoom is all about better specs etc. etc. than the iPad, then when the iPad wins a GPU benchmark, the Xoom people just say 'who cares about games'...

Sure the Xoom will get faster with updates and drivers (like you said, Froyo bumped performance), and there will be another set of benchmarks when that happens, but right now these results are pretty definitive...

Gotta love the strict line in the sand between the Apple and Android people.
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
I wonder when will Android receive decent games anyways. Half of the games are quite pathetic, while there are a few that are at least decent... Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds become repetitive pretty quickly.

Android games are time-killers. They don't hold your attention or immerse you enough to play them for more than a few minutes.
[Xoom General] Srikar_NBK:
Hmm, outperformed by a huge margin. Thats bad for Xoom and Honeycomb :(

I think the Galaxy 10.1 would perform the same, with pretty similar hardware Tegra 2 :(
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I gotta say that this is surprising. I was excited about the Xoom and Android tablets because of the screen at first, due to the higher resolution and change in aspect ratio to better fit videos. Then it is revealed that the screen is a lower quality panel and the Tegra 2 is incapable of high profile h.264. Then I was at least excited because the Nvidia SoC was still pretty awesome for games and the like. Then it gets completely outclassed within 2 weeks of launch by the iPad2. WTH. I mean this is ridiculous. There is less of a gap between my single core phones performance and the Tegra 2 than there is between the Tegra 2 and the A5 in the iPad2. And the A5 is only a 900mhz dual core. I would be embarrassed if I was Nvidia right now.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
I love people who THINK :D I'm so tired of all these comparisons and biased reviews and experiences. Remember how much Android has grown as an OS and then look to iOS and its growth/change. Yeah... none. We all chose the Xoom for a reason... we want change.

Don't worry little birds... we'll get changes! This thing is like wine... gets better with age! Although sub out years and replace with weeks :D
[Xoom General] thefredelement:
Everyone relax, the GL Benchmark app looks like it wasn't updated for Honeycomb or the Nvidia OpenGL extensions. I'm not even sure if it runs native or runs in a Java VM.

I posted this at android central where it's getting all fan boy crazy:

I'm not saying the ipad2 is better or worse, all I'm saying is the benchmark app isn't reading the info right on the Xoom.
[Xoom General] aohus:
i'm a bit disappointed with NVIDIA for sure. They were hyping Tegra 2 all last year, leaking slides of the performance and what not, and it cannot do basic tasks like playing 720p playback without stutter. i was even thinking of buying NVIDIA stock too lol.

to be fair, i think we all need to wait it out a bit, and see what software changes are made to alleviate these issues. this doesn't mean the end of android tablets, far from it. i guess we could wait it out for a non-tegra 2 dual core tablet in the 2nd half of 2011 (qualcomm's 2nd gen snapdragon processor, samsung's orion processor, TI OMAP, etc).

what i love about honeycomb is that it isn't hardware specific, so we'll have plenty of choices by the end of the year.
[Xoom General] gogol:
That's true. And don't forget the higher price point of the Xoom. That's make it even harder to justify the purchase againt iPad 2.

And now this benchmark, the Xoom is simply out-classed.

Of course, for Android fans, the Xoom might be the best option for them.

Probably it is good to skip 2011 and wait the next new hardware? Like the Tegra 3 Quad Core? Well, probably it will still be out-classed by the next iPad 3? Yeah, if we follow this kind of thing, there will be NO END!
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Does the Xoom have the bottom bar visible when the GLBenchmark test runs? If so, then there are your missing pixels.

Also, it only uses 21 for Android phones as well, which means its probably only using 21 total. Its not like the iPad is using a bunch of different extensions. Its not testing those other extensions that the Xoom uses.
[Xoom General] eallan:
From having both of them side by side, the my iPad 2 is definitely faster than my Xoom. Obviously some of this is iOS, but the hardware absolutely screams. I'm impressed. I'll keep them both for a few couple weeks and see which one i wind up reaching for more often.
[Xoom General] jgrimberg1979:
I have an ipad and i have a xoom, and one thing that is more important than a cpu for my use is ram. The ipad just crashed all the time because they didnt put **** for ram in it. The iPad 2 has only double that which is 512mb which isnt that much for something with a dual core processor.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Did you have the iPad jailbroken? If so, that was probably 80% of your crashes right there. Especially if you used backgrounder. The iPad running 4.2.1 is pretty flawless. Of course you can notice the lack of ram while trying to browse and things like that, but a doubling should be plenty for the iPad2. The reason they didn't hit 1gb of ram was to save money and hit a price point. Price point is more important than hitting 1gb of ram. Allows Apple to spend the extra money on a good display, amazing SoC and quality speakers, which matter to most people.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
Apple could put 2gb of ram in and sell it for 299 if they wanted.

They make the majority of their money from iTunes purchases. They could sell the hw at a loss like video game consoles and still make a killing.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
They could, but they don't do that. They sell the hardware for a profit. To use a charlie sheenism, they #planbetter.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
I'm surprised those guys at Anandtech couldn't figure that out and disclose what you did. Someone should write to them.
[Xoom General] albundy2010:
I know. It was just overstated point about the entire 512mb vs 1gb ram thing.
[Xoom General] jgrimberg1979:
I have had crashes both when it was jailbroken and when it wasnt, and I never put backgrounder on it. I think if they put 768 it would be enough for that caliber of a tablet but putting the same amount of ram on a dual core tablet as t hey did in the iphone 4 is just a little pathetic.
[Xoom General] galtom:
And I still remember from Google presentation of Honeycombs how they were pointing many times that system was made from scratch (almost) with the performance, and especially video (2d and 3d) performance in mind. So much that even kernel was optimized.

Well... as much as I am waiting for Galaxy Tab 10.1 (Xoom is not in Europe yet) ... I am beginning to think of it is a right idea :-)

I got a feeling in my gut that honeycomb and xoom/GT 10.1 would be much better of with the new Samsung SoC (http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/productInfo.do?fmly_id=844&partnum=Exynos 4210) than with Tegra 2.

BTW: since all this chips (apple, tegra, samsung, etc) are ARM design... they should be pretty much identical? Or with every next generation each manufacturer is making changes to original design and this gives differences?

PS Is Apple A5 Samsung Exynos 4210?
[Xoom General] Eclair~:
It hasn't been confirmed that the GTab 10.1 will be using the Exynos. However if it is better than the Tegra 2, then go right ahead Samsung.
[Xoom General] packruler:
im not at all worried about this. Apple is still using the same base is as the original iPhone while honeycomb is new and lets be honest it was probably rushed out the door. However I feel over all the xoom ardware is more suited to what I will use it for and then some. Plus we don't have a corporation telling us how to use what we bought (thanks moto for not screwing that up)
[Xoom General] muyoso:
They didn't miss anything. If you do write to them be sure to post the response here.
[Xoom General] galtom:
Unfortunatley it has been... GT10.1 is Tegra based as is Xoom.

In general Xoom and GT10.1 it is the same device, with the same "intestines". My hope (after recent news from Samsung) is that it will be cheaper from Xoom and it is much lighter.

Another + i DLNA which Xoom does not have but I do not think Samsung will improve video performance (h.264 high profile support). :-(
[Xoom General] eallan:
I hear this a lot, I just don't believe it. 30% of apps and whatever little cut of music. It's not free for them to run the entire infrastructur, servers, programmers, app approvers, xcode, etc etc etc.

Apple is definitely a hardware company first and foremost.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
Its just a benchmark. Unless you plan on sitting there and running the benchmark over and over again.

Everything I've run on the Xoom runs great and that's all that matters.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
Yeah its just a simple benchmark test. With every new release/enhancement the Xoom continues to get faster and benching much nicer. The Xoom is brand new stuff here for the tablet world and for Android, and it has the power do be a beast. All the pieces are there but not all quite in place just yet.

Anyways, iOS is closed source and can't do jack squat. Stick with the open source beast know as Android. Right now we can have both cores on the Xoom at 1.5ghz without any issues, almost like it was stock. Poor Apple will never be cool.
[Xoom General] knut150:
Like somebody already said relax kids, yes is it just a benchmark? Is that denial or what? The reason that guides somebody who knows a little about hardware spcs when choosing between an Android device or an Apple one, is the fundamental difference that exists in those platforms. I must admit that it is getting harder to justify spending this kind of money on the xoom but it seems to me that is more like “delayed buyers remorse” and if this is the case, for us android users we better get ready for a rollercoaster ride; a rough one. The tablet war has just began, the feeling of obsolescence is something that tablet users will have to learn to live with every 3 or 6 months until all the players show their cards. Yes, the ipad has the lead now but as for me I didn’t buy a tablet to play games or watch HD movies all the time and so far what I want the tablet to do for me the xoom does. Honeycomb is just a new born, let’s talk about benchmarking in a few months.
[Xoom General] xlGmanlx:
Good for the I pad, I prefer the sniff test and the xoom passes for me case closed
