downloading now. will give update in a few min

also does it matter that my phone will not go past the white htc screen?
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
Are you saying that your phone shows the white HTC screen then fades to black?

if so, no, it doesn't matter...just press the power button to reboot your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyamoV2:
when i reboot i don't get past the white screen. also for some reason i am unable to push to the sd card

i run the command and i get

"..." not recgonized as internal or external command

never mind, stupid noob thing, is pushing now

cannot find path to sd card
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
so it's working or not???
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyamoV2:
it tries but fails to write to sd card, so its a no go
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
Step through process

You need to hit me up on SKYPE and I will walk you through the process.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyamoV2:
no mic at current locatoin.... aim work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
google talk is my username @ gmail dot com

i don't have a mic either but i can chat you through the steps
[HTC Inspire 4G] GunFishin:
For those that are having the black screen when going into CWM Recovery. I had the same problem. Make sure your phone has ENG-off and you'll be good to go. Looks like CWM has some kind of bug with SLCD displays.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyamoV2:
habanosrus was great. patient and walked me through my kinda broken phone. had to pull the pdm58.img or whatever it was on the the sd card so i could get back to having a working phone past my white screen of death by htc. also cwm now works just fine from following his guide here at post #2400

and if you have s-off it makes it really easy and pretty quick. thanks again

[HTC Inspire 4G] luar949:
I have the same issue how do I turn radio s off???
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
The hack kit thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352) will walk you through the procedure to get radio s-off and root. You have to downgrade your ROM/radio to get S-Off on the Inspire, and this requires you create a gold card. Instructions are in the hack kit

Alternatively, you can use Bubby's easy root GUI (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961406) which will also leave you rooted and S-Off (you'll still need a gold card)
[HTC Inspire 4G] luar949:
Cool I'm already rooted so I have to go through the whole thing again cause I'm can't reboot into recovery thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] bmolloy:
Hey habanosrus, could I get those directions as well? I am having the exact same problems. I am rooted, tried to do flash CM7 with The latest version of CWM and now I have the White HTC Screen which fades to black. I can get into the HBOOT screen and I am S-Off but I am dead in the water from here.

Did I just create a $500 paper weight?
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
You're far from a $500 paper weight.

Take a look at post #2400 for instructions to get rid of the problem. Just follow the easy directions step by step (even if you mess up it is difficult to brick your phone).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961406&page=240

Just don't ENG S-OFF. I think most people (including myself) that have bricked their phone was during this process.
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
The good:

- The screen is pretty good. Not as vibrant or saturated in color as an AMOLED screen, but not bad either. Very comparable/narrowly better than the Droid X.

- The screen itself is pretty comparable to other offerings as far as how responsive it is. Its still behind the iPhone in terms of ease of swipe, BUT, the swipes are SUPER responsive. Faster than the Incredible and the Droid X and even my Fascinate. Fastest screen transitions of any phone out of the box, in stock form.

- The kickstand is a brushed aluminum, very nice and feels sturdy.

- The back of the phone is FLUSH. As in, the camera lens isn't sticking out like it is with the EVO or virtually all the other Droids on Verizon.

- The buttons are capacitive, and seem to be pretty responsive to the touch.

- The unit itself has a good color and feels sturdy and solid in your hands. Think EVO but less plastic

The bad:

- Its heavy. Heavier than the EVO, which is pretty heavy compared to other phones of its size (definitely heavier than the Droid X)

- The LED light is BEHIND the speaker screen, so its a bit tougher to see compared to other phones.

- The SIM card can be a pain to get in, and requires pulling the battery out.

- The SD card also requires taking the battery out

- The back cover requires "snaps" at the corners to get it to shut completely.

Anything else I'm forgetting, feel free to ask.
[Thunderbolt General] GermanGuy:
Call quality?

Loudness? Ringtones loud enough when kickstand is down?

Reception?

Quadrant benchmarks?
[Thunderbolt General] youneek:
Can you post comparison pics of your fascinate and the thunderbolt?

Which do you prefer so far?
[Thunderbolt General] jdposhkus:
I abused one in the store today. Very snappy. feels nice in your hand. I was pleased enough to have them hold me one for the morning...I was hoping the screen would be as nice to look at as my inc Ill agree is was more responsive...it is hefty but I wouldnt say is is a brick...

An incremental upgrade from my Inc. but not a monumental one.
[Thunderbolt General] Pete2s:
When you have a chance, please let us know about the battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
Ringtones are a good volume, tried a few different volumes.

Works fine with kickstand and ringing, you can still hear it just fine.

Quadrant is 1735.

I will post up the pictures later tonight when I get home from work
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
Call quality is good, same as any htc.

The phone stays at work. I'm actually gonna get a replacement through work and its gonna be this one. Im just playing with it and setting this one up for today.

I still prefer my sf, but then again, I've got it all customized to my liking, plus I have spb shell 3D =)
[Thunderbolt General] GermanGuy:
What are the data speeds?
[Thunderbolt General] Cozmosis:
Thanks for the detailed impression, but it IS lighter than the evo. By fractions of ounces, but it is.
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
8-12 down, and we were getting crazy, and I mean, CRAZY high upload speeds. We ran 5 tests, and they were all 22+ upload, it was insane....
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
It DEFINITELY doesn't feel that way. I held both in my hand, and so did the owner of the EVO, and she agreed, the Thunderbolt felt heavier.
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
As promised, here are the pictures:
[Thunderbolt General] bokechukwu1:
How much memory is dedicated for app storage, I heard 5 gb please tell me that is true
[Thunderbolt General] mexiken:
The internal is 8 Gigs, with I believe a total of about 6.7 or something in there available for apps
[Thunderbolt General] bokechukwu1:
I heard it has about 2 gb available just for apps so I hope you're right I guess ill just find out tomorrow morning

[Thunderbolt General] leith51:
hi could you tell me the battery dimensions was wondering if it would fit the dhd
[Thunderbolt General] snerfu:
I got a quadrant standard score of 1767. I went to play a game of angry birds and browsed a website, reran quadrant and got a 1343. I rebooted it and again got my 1767 score. But the demo still looked smooth on the 1300's score. I lost half my battery in 4 hours with wifi turned off. I didn't get my service hooked up yet as verizon's registration was broken all last night
[Thunderbolt General] magnafides:
You lost that much battery in 4 hours with none of the cellular radios or wifi on? How much of that was you running quadrant/playing angry birds? That's not encouraging at all...
[Thunderbolt General] Cynicalsomething:
Screen

How is the screen? Is it plastic or glass?
[Thunderbolt General] Thrillhouse847:
I'd love to hear a comparison in battery life between the Tbolt and Fascinate. i have a Fascinate and am considering making the switch but all the bad battery life rumors are making me reluctant.
[Thunderbolt General] snerfu:
That was just leaving it idle. I went to the midnight launch and then came back home and went to sleep, it was fully charged when I initially got home. Wifi is definitely turned off, the 3g radio might be on, I don't have service so I am not sure, but I think it is on.
[Thunderbolt General] winston856:
I really want to get an idea of what battery life is on this phone. I know time will tell but does it drain quickly using anything else besides 4G?

I'd be interested to see results with 4G off to see if it's just that radio that's the cause of such poor life.

What size is the stock battery?
[Thunderbolt General] magnafides:
I guess if the radio is on and churning as it would if it were searching for signal, that would explain the battery drain. Let's hope that's it.

1400mAh
[Thunderbolt General] snerfu:
I am having some trouble with signal strength to, I am going from one bar to no bars. I have a blackberry on the same network sitting right next to me and it has full bars. Finally got my phone activated though.
[Thunderbolt General] craighwk:
Couple easy questions I think :)

Do you know if a fully charged battery drops to 90% after just a few minutes like the Incredible?

Is the LED notification light as bad as the Incredible? It was VERY hard to see and it only has two colors. Are there additional colors? Your original post is discouraging in that department.
[Thunderbolt General] snerfu:
I have some updates, my battery did drop to 90% after the first few minutes. But it has actually stayed at 90% for the last 3 hours after I got my phone activated and with mild use. My bar issue doesn't seem to be affecting my phone calls so it must just be displaying wrong.
[Thunderbolt General] ApplCobbler:
This phone is merely a stepping stone to my Droid Bionic. I'm going to sell this one on craigslist before the Bionic comes out, and buy that off contract. The idea was to get the contract with unlimited before it goes away. Battery life isn't going to be a huge issue for me, for now.

So far, it seems like a pretty solid device.
[Thunderbolt General] brownhornet:
Good phone but the battery is simply putrid.
[Thunderbolt General] lwright84:
The cons are all extremely negligible. The biggest con at the moment is battery drain from LTE\3G switching, but that's easily offset with an extended battery (or alternatively, some OS tweaks). The size is perfect imo, a teensy bit shorter, thicker and fatter than the DroidX with rounded edges. The audio is better than the DroidX (both external speaker and for calls). The screen is much better than the DroidX as well... my X looks bland and washed out by comparison, and feels less responsive. And HTC's camera is obviously superior as well.

I must also say, after falling in love with the Incredible but trading it in for the DroidX... I am so happy to be rid of Blur and back on SenseUI. It is such a sleeker, smoother, prettier, and friendly experience. I had a few ROMs on the X that were nice, but I prefer the stock experience of SenseUI.

Anyway.. no major complaints so far, I only wish I had consisted 4G everywhere.
[Thunderbolt General] buffalowolff:
I had only 2.46 GB available for apps on internal storage and have seen others reporting the same number. Honestly its still plenty, but I'm wondering why so much is reserved......

VZW bloatware. Can be removed when rooted.
[Thunderbolt General] senate6268:
Picked mine up last night. I got tired of slow 3G/4G data speeds with Sprint. Well worth the ETF from Sprint for this phone. The LTE is crazysickwickedfast!!! I was getting 16 down, 10 up on my laptop while tethered to the phone.

Battery life with the phone is god awful according to reviews of the phone since the LTE is designed to stay on 24/7. Sub 4-hours is what reviews are saying. However, I don't that the battery manager was properly calibrated when these tests were run. Battery life should be around 7-8 hours with LTE on all day once a couple of charging cycles have occurred. I turned the LTE off using the *#*#4636#*#* phone information menu the second the phone was handed to me. The battery life on 3G with occasionally turning on LTE for videos and web is comparable to the Evo with turning 4G on and off when needed. I've been off charger today for 3h 19m 18s and I'm at 80-90% battery life from the following:

- Connected on WiFi at home for about 30 minutes between off charger and leaving for work

(turned off WiFi when I left home)

- Streamed Pandora for 30 minutes while driving to work

- 2 Gmail accounts and 1 work Exchange ActiveSync both set to automatically update

- Turned on LTE for about 20 minutes while a co-worker played with the phone checking out the web, YouTube, etc. (he's sold and is gonna get one this weekend)

- Some Google Talk with friends.

- Checking stocks with Google Finance app

- Checking Google Reader feeds

This was the same routine that I did with my Evo every day and my battery would be around 60% or so on the drive home.

I think the Thunderbolt is right on par with the Evo once you make the LTE on-demand as needed instead of draining the battery like a madman. This was a great feature to have on the Evo. I actually still like the Evo better asthetically. I really like the full glass face it has compared to the Thunderbolt's design cues around the screen. But specwise, this phone is exactly what I wanted the Evo to be. The only thing the Evo was missing was a proper network behind it. I have that now with the Thunderbolt and don't regret my decision to switch one bit.

Not to mention that VZ is offering TRUE unlimited 4G and free hotspot until May 15th for the Thunderbolt. You would be a fool to turn that down if you're still on the fence. I feel bad for anyone that gets a Thunderbolt after May 15th and gets shafted on data and hotspot. I think there will be major uproar about this when it comes around. Mark my words.

All in all, sick phone with a sick network behind it! Now back to The Root Thread to keep hitting F5... ;)
[Thunderbolt General] mcmillanje:
As to the battery quickly dropping to 90%, that is true of all newer phones with li-ion batteries. They don't stay at 100% while plugged in even if it shows 100%. This is to protect the life of your battery. Usually if you charge your phone overnight it will say full but really be 80-90%.

Just my 2c. Awesome phone overall. Love the snappyness, and sense 3.0 is nice.

so

is there's any way to fix this problem ?

coz i try many fixes before but i have no luck with that

thank's for all

try the app sgs tools from the market. there is a an option "gps fix", once enabled, your phone should find gps signal much faster than before.

works great for me

Do you mean unaffected or is Froyo Native Apps2SD not working?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Yes. You are correct native Apps2SD is NOT affected by disabling the automatic apps2ext. Thanks for catching that quickly!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c_urbanek:
tried to apply over last 1.3 bugfix patch.... "installation aborted".
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
I have installed it over the first bugfix. It works perfekly! Where i can see if it applied?

Whats is the diffrent between app2ext an link2sd?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It's kind of a Hail Mary. It did work in my testing and I just tried it again with success. One thing is the new patch is signed so it could also be that your zip got corrupted in download. I've gotten installation aborted messages when the zip was corrupt, but there are probably other ways for it to fail. The md5sum should be

a93cfa1d6ea73a4ee8ff6ec4afc72baa stock221v13-bugfix-2_signed.zip
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
If you can see a /system/etc/init.d/00_memfree file on your phone, the update was applied.

App2ext moves all apps to the ext partition. Link2SD lets you do it selectively. This isn't a tremendous gain on Froyo, because we have the native move to SD. One difference is that using app2ext apps will be available while the sdcard is being accessed over USB. Also widgets should work for app2ext. At one point I unscientifically convinced myself that app2ext was faster at loading apps than the native move. That said, I'm not currently using either app2ext or link2sd except when testing. I did a big app purge recently and combined with the memhack I'm not running out of space (yet :) )
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] smoki3:
Okay the patch works very good! I have more memory now and it seems like it is very fast now! Great work :-)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Tavinsky:
Thanks for this new update.

I have installed the patch stock221v13-bugfix-1, means that the new patch stock221v13-bugfix-2_signed what I can get to the Updates folder and apply it without restoring the data from the factory?

Means that the Dalvik-cache will automatically be going to SD?

Still need to partition the SD?

What about applications that are currently in the SD, which were moved to app2sd?

Thanks!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
By default, what bugfix-2 does is move dalvik-cache to a different partition inside the phone, not to the SD card. /data and /cache are two different internal partitions. /data is what the phone GUI calls "Internal memory", but both are internal.

Why do this?

Eclair 2.1 wasn't designed for JIT so dalvik-cache didn't exist. New in froyo 2.2, JIT creates a lot of data in /data/dalvik-cache (at least 50mb, often 70-80mb). To accommodate for this increased use of /data in the Korean Motoroi froyo, Motorola adjusted the partitions to take 50mb from /cache and 20mb from /system to grow /data by 70mb. Dexter's 1.3 is built off of the 2.1 kernel and partitions and we can't change Motorola's partitioning (because of locked bootloader). So we end up losing space from /data. What we can do is put dalvik-cache on /cache (the one Motorola shrank) instead. That's what the update does.

Moving dalvik-cache to sd-ext is different. If you did not do that while running bugfix-1 (believe me you would know if you did), then you should be able to just apply bugfix-2, select wipe dalvik and reboot (the first boot after wiping dalvik is always slow). It should find your apps. There is a small chance you will have to wipe data / factory reset. I cannot guarantee it will work in all circumstances but it's worth a try. Take a nandroid backup of system, data, cache before applying bugfix-2 just to be safe.

If you did move dalvik-cache to sd-ext, then OpenRecovery doesn't know how to wipe dalvik-cache correctly, so you'd have to do that manually. If you set up dalvik-cache on sd-ext, then you probably already know how ways to do that.

It should not affect any apps that are on SD.

If I was really clever I would figure out how to make the update clear dalvik-cache on install... hmmmm.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Tavinsky:
Thanks for your prompt reply, I have the question of how to move the dalvik-cache, you told me that "Would you believe me know if you did", then I'm sure they did not. Then, after applying the new patch, how should I move that dalvik-cache?.

Just to make sure, when making a backup nandroid, I mark all partitions, excluding Basband software, linux bootloader, logo and device tree? If something fails, with this new backup can restore the phone as it was after applying the ROM of Dexter's, and the data and preferences?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
It should move automatically. You don't have to do anything :)

That sounds right. I can't remember exactly which ones can't be backed up. To undo trying the patch you need to restore System, Data, Cache (maybe), SD Data (possibly, if you have one). It doesn't hurt to get more. Just read the nandroid output carefully to make sure no errors happened.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] c19932:
I did not apply your patch because I am not really running out of storage memory on my phone and seems like that's the main focus of this patch. Just want to drop by and say thank you for your work and the clear description of the changelog, instead of the typical "optimal performance" and "faster system and more internal memory" that other posters do :p

While I appreciate the work and contribution by all members, I surely hope they will also post a more clarified changelog like yours
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Thanks. Maybe I should break the changelog into subsystems. That might make it easier to scan.

The main non-memory improvements over bugfix-1 is xav's egl.cfg which really does help speed up the interface considerably and is the secret sauce of the recent themed ROMs here. We discussed it on the main thread just after bugfix-1 was released and a lot of us adopted it, but it seemed too experimental to push out as a default at the time. I've been running it since then without a problem and forgot that not everyone has it. Since khal and xav have been including it in all their ROMs, I decided it was probably time.

I also get a little annoyed at having to dig out these basic improvements from mostly theme and app-choice packages, but it does hone my understanding of android :). I try to not push these things immediately out of respect to khal and xav. There was enough complaining yesterday about how to remove a theme get a "fast" stock ROM, that I decided it was probably time. There really hasn't been too much innovation lately between the ROMs, it's mostly been theming. It's sad xav's selling his phone.

The big problem still remains RAM use. Tweaking the minfree parameters seems more of a band-aid than a fix. That seems to be universal across all the froyo ROMs. Something isn't right. Maybe now that the Milestone froyo is finally released we can get to the heart of the problem.
