[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
Why is used iPhone not an option? You'll still have to pay for data anyway and since she's comfortable with IOS seems like a no-brainer to me?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Because she doesn't want to spend that much. Inspire can be had for as little as 69 bucks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] uhmump95:
My wife is as non-tech as can be. She used to have an iPhone 3GS. I got the her the Inspire and she is loving it. Get the phone for your wife, she will love it. Just be tender guiding her through the features.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pokey9000:
Inspire can be had at Costco for free on a new or added line, and $20 for upgrades. So at the worst you can get a year's Costco membership ($50) and an Inspire for the same money.

That being said, you'll be buying a data package of at least $15 or $360 over 2 years or $600 for the 2GB plan. If you're paying that much for a data package, why cheap out up front so she can settle for something she doesn't want? Everyone here knows that stock has some serious issues, so your options are to root it and be your wife's phone IT support for ever, or get her an iPhone and let her visit the Apple store in the mall if she has any trouble. Domestic harmony is how I justify paying the Apple tax on my wife's iPhone and Mac habit, which smooths things over for my hackable gadget habit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
I would not be surprised if Captivates drop very quickly now with the Atrix and Inspire out on AT&T. I still enjoy playing with both of my Captivates as they are very forgiving and still have an awesome display.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] tomvankirk:
My wife and stepdaughter both got the Inspire after falling in love with mine. My other stepdaughter got the Iphone 3GS which, last I looked, AT&T had priced at $50.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
iPhone 3GS is $50
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Hey gunny, my wife tried out my inspire for a day and never returned it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] muthabusser:
XACTLY!! this is my problem too

Yep, I only get to play with it on the weekends, and I am stuck during the week using her European GSM Motorola A1200. :( -Glenn
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
And old.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, not my significant other, but my mom just got one, after me talking it up, and she's been using an iTouch, so an iPhone would've been the natural choice, but she insists on having any new gadget she gets being brand new, so a used iPhone was not an option.

Given the price of the inspire on contract at Costco, compared to that of an iPhone, not to mention my recommendation of the inspire, the choice was easy.

It'll take her some time to 'convert', but with my help she'll be ok.

She likes the phone, she's just overwhelmed by the newness of Android. I keep telling her that since she's already familiar with the touch screen type of device, she's got more of a head start on learning the new phone than she realizes. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
the inspire can be as user friendly as you want it to be. modders and devs don't like sense because its bloated and doesn't let you control a lot of things...but it does (generally) provide for a pretty smooth user experience. i know my wife was pretty interested in the htc weather widget screen animations and live wallpapers and other things like that.

that being said, maybe something as small as an aria would be a good idea...less of a powerhouse, better battery life and whatnot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
My wife used an Aria for about 8 months, her very first smart phone, and she was very comfortable using it. She describes Android as intuitive and easy to use, and it gave her plenty of options to customize her usage. 60% phone calls, 20% text, 20% weather/maps/internet search & games. I got an Inspire on day 1, and she was jealous from that moment on. We just go an Inspire last week for her, and now she even has a Google account.

Gunny, you may be the developer in the house, but your wife may surprise you and start tinkering when you put the right phone in your hand!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Just returned from the store. 2 INSPIRES in the house now
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Knew that was coming but did not want to be a Smart ---! LOL

I am sure you both will live happily ever after!:D

Hi guys could someone tell me what the best radio to use if your in the UK

[Desire HD General] Tiggymala:
I'm using latest Orange Rom.that was posted in radio thread seems to good here so far 1 of the recommended ones I tried gave me problems couldn't hear people n few other annoyances
[Desire HD General] PDub11:
Im using 26.06.03.24_M2 on ARHD 3.1 rom on orange UK, seems to work well. 3.0 had some funny feedback issue on the earpiece for what i was saying but 3.1 seems to work well. I tend to use whatever radio is reccomended by the dev.

Please post back any info if you do change up your radio.

Thanks.

Anyone notice the much slower boot time with cm7 compared to stock froyo? I remember the slow boot time was present with cm6 as well....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
My boot time has been 26-28 seconds on myns. After wiping caches it is slow though; for awhile.

Swyped from my sexy EVO.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
It's slow because it's loading up all the awesome.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
Lol that's one way to put it, but really though I don't have many apps installed. The only one that I know that starts and stays active is lookout.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImEVO:
Try getting rid of lookout maybe it will load faster:) you dont need all that anti virus crap anyways:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegregbradley:
I've noticed that my phone spends an inordinate amount of time at the white HTC EVO screen, but once the boot animation begins, it's pretty quick to load up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Same thing on mine, takes up to 3 minutes sitting on the white screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Maybe cuz eve hardwarewasnt made for cm7? Idk maybe HTC does something with sense

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
So I got my HTC hero updated to cm7 nightly 19 and updated my evo as well...and I compared boot times with the hero to the evo...and guess what...the hero boots up quicker!!! .....kinda sad don't you think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
That's because theres moar geebeez to load on the evo

Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m03sizlak:
My evo running cm7 also spends a very long time on the white htc evo screen. Once it hung there for 15+ minutes, had to pull the battery. Typically it'll sit there anywhere from 2-4 minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah this pretty much sucks when you have older phones beating the evo.....in boot time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
I'm on cm7 and it takes 1:30-3:00 minutes. I'm not used to that cause I just came from myn's 2.2 getting 26-28 seconds. At least cm7 has a cool boot screen minus the battery draining bright white EVO 4G screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diomark:
I just tried cm7 again - with nightly 21 - and had to come here to search as mine is spending a very long time at the white evo screen prior to booting... :(

Its never been this slow before :(

-mark
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orris:
I'm on RC2 with no nightlies and mine boots in about 30ish seconds. I have no idea what you all are talking about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
Lucky you.

I was on rc2 and it took 1-3 mins and on nightly 21 it takes about the same time.

Kinda lame how it takes so damn long, really annoying when your trying to 'show off' your boot animation or just trying to boot it up fast to use it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrpuffin:
yeah like the dude with hero was saying about his hero booting faster than evo

my mom has my old hero and it starts faster than my evo both are cm7

but one thing i noticed when i replaced my old evo for the one i have now is the boot times on this one are slower

(this was replaced back when cm6 came out)

replaced my 0002 (launch model) with a 0003 and the 0003 boots slower plus screeen has like a lag before the white htc comes on while the 0002 came on the second i hit power

so i'm thinking boot times may differ based off of your phones revision
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diomark:
This is really frustrating.. Cm7 nightly 30 makes it much worst.. Seems to have a timeout in there which eventually boots into recovery.. this is causing my Evo to always boot into recovery (after hanging at the white evo 4g screen/eventually timing out)

At least pre-nightly 30 eventually went through (although they took `5-10 minutes sometimes at the white evo 4g screen)

Anyone have any new updates on this?

will the firmware be updated along with the regular windows phone updates or do we have to update ourselves manually? I know microsoft said they will be adding software/updates from the device manufacturer included with the windows phone updates.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Casey_boy:
The updates each phone receives are phone specific. That is to say that in addition to the OS update there can be phone specific updates such as firmware updates.

[Samsung Mesmerize] tryan1977:
Just updated to 2.2 and my quadrant score is 898. Ive seen folks in the 1200 - 1400 range which is almost double. It stated to use the .pit file if thats the case. My question is do i need to reload both the .tar file and the .pit or just .pit via odin
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Do you have voodoo installed? If not 898 stock sounds about right.
[Samsung Mesmerize] chidesd:
Also which froyo rom did u flash? e11 or e16?

E16 with Voodoo I get around 1500
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
As stated here, 900~ is normal for a non voodoo set up, enable lagfix with a voodoo kernel and expect 1200-1500 quadrant. With the AOSP rom/kernel, we're going to expect 2000+ ratings (right now the showcase shows that with their release) our build is still in the works.
[Samsung Mesmerize] tryan1977:
No, I have not installed Voodoo - if you dont mind me asking what is it and what does it do? I have seen you guys talk about it here on the forums but im not quite clear as to what it is nor what it does.
[Samsung Mesmerize] tryan1977:
E11. Is E16 worth my time in upgrading again? If it is, whats different?

2.1 to 2.2 is a very welcomed upgrade. I am extremely please with the speed and the small changes they have made in functionality.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
EA11 was a previous "test build" of 2.2, test build only because it hasn't been released officially. EB16 is what we assume to be as close to the update that will be released from US cellular/Samsung. EB16 should be what you're running if you're running 2.2 at all.

"Voodoo" is referring to our "modded" kernel. Voodoo has many fixes/tweaks, one of which is called lagfix which when enabled changes the storage system to ext4 which in turn speeds up the system, this is the only one currently active in the EA11 voodoo kernel (which is compatible with both EA11 and EB16). Look for the post in the development forum, it's flashed in CWM. Once you have it flashed, you enable the lagfix through CWM and after booting you would see scores of 1400~ in quadrant.
[Samsung Mesmerize] vicous707:
i got a 1758 score with froyo eb16 pnp and vanilla froyo u guys should try it its pretty cool just some minor bugs though like no task manager, no youtube vids and thats about it i think:)
[Samsung Mesmerize] tryan1977:
Greatly appreciate the info. Will be upgrading shortly.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
if you meant AOSP, we haven't got a release for the mes yet but I heard it scores up to 2000, I'm sure we will have something in time
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
These are rudimentary directions for the time being. I will edit and make them more precise later tonight. Also included a few things for reference. Like I said, it is basic info for now and it will become more detailed and informative.

You will need a text editor to edit any of these scripts. I primarily use Notepad++ on Windows. If you are on a *nix box then I am sure you are more than able to find a text editor that suits your needs.

1. Unzip Wipe_Delete_Copy.zip

2. Navigate to *\META-INF\com\google\android\

3. You will see two files: updater-script and update-binary

4. Open updater-script with your favorite text editor. (In my case, I right click and choose "Edit with Notepad++")

5. Edit Away

6. Save

7. Rezip

For reference, these are the files deleted from /system/app:

ADW Launcher

Browser

Car Home Google

CM Wallpapers

Development

DSP Manager

Email

FM

File Manager

Google Quick Search Box

Genie Widget (News and Weather)

Live Wallpapers

Live Wallpaper Picker

Pro Tips (The CM Widget that appears after a clean install)

Sound Recorder

VoiceDialer

Notice "ADW Launcher." This means you will need Launcher Pro/ADW EX/etc before you flash this. Or you will need to remove this line from the script.

If you don't want to change your DPI settings:

1. Open up the script in your text editor

2. Delete

ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("");
ui_print("Copying build.prop to retain proper dpi");
show_progress(0.200000, 5);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

3. Save

4. Delete the "system" folder found in the original zip

5. Rezip

[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
I appreciate the thanks. I know the basic script will work just fine. It is very straight forward. The second one is kind of tricky because it uses an updater/binary. I just recently started working with them and had a few issues to begin with. The more feedback you all give me on this the better. Hope they help.
[EVO 4G General] dkdude36:
i dont know how to write in edify, but i would like to. if you dont mind whipping up a little tutorial, that would be fantastic so all the peoplez can stop complaining that they get an error after flashing my zips on cwm 3+. it would help me and a lot of others as well.

[EVO 4G General] sminker:
Anyway to update these to work on CW 3+ recoveries?
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
The second script should work because it is written in edify. I will update the first one so that it works. Leaving for work now but I should be able to do it all from my phone. Will post up the new version in a few.

[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Wait you flash first and then wipe caches? I've always done it the other way around. Does it even matter? Guess not...
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
You can do it either way. I always used to wipe and then flash.

The reason I am wiping after flashing the nightly is because of the other code in the second script. The second script deletes all of those system apps that I don't use and copies my edited build.prop back into /system. If I flashed the script before the nightly, then those system apps would be reinstalled and I would lose my edited build.prop.

In Menu/Settings/Wireless/Networks/APNs there is my service provider and service provider mms. I live in North Europe, near Finland.

But there is not specified Proxy, port, username, pass, server, mms proxy, mms port, authentication type. Can it be because of that? Any ideas?

Hey.

I had flashed bionix 1.3.1 onto my telus fascinate as well, and it did not have a bootloader. You might want o to follow the link v260 posted and double check the zip file.

I did not keep it for too long since as i read elsewhere on the forums, bionix did not give me a working gps. I'm not sure if others experienced it, but i also noticed a bit of battery drain (with and without voodoo enabled).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] eyeb:
I'm using sprint htc touch pro, using raph800 startup.txt.

When I turn off the android (not "off" but just press power to turn off screen), I can't seem to wake the screen back up, the real buttons (keyboard/volume) seem to work since I can hear them but the screen stays off. I have to soft reset it back into windows to be able to use phone again. I looked on around and found someone suggested changing the pm.sleepmode to something else, and I've tried them all and problem still persists.

Sorry if this isn't good place to post it, it wouldnt let me post in the android section where it's more relevant.
