getting read to just swich to one of the hero roms at this point but figured before i do i'll see if any of these can be fixed.
This all started right shortly after the 1.51 update
First of all, I've wipped the phone and reinstalled twice now and left the battery out and did formats and tried new SD cards and all that and these are the problems i'm having.
-Camera will not save once finished. It takes the picture but it never saves to the SD card.
-Screen randomly changes orientation by itself when the phone is not moving at all. on a table
-Lots of random crashes
-and the worst. Certain apps will only download 50% of the file size when i download them making them never work, If this happens it's impossible to ever download it. Even after wiping and reloading the phone the same thing happened again. It also happens in updates as well. Killed mybackup pro and i had to go download it off rapidshare because i needed to make backups and the market download would never download properly.
So basically, is there any way to fix all these problems or am i better off just going through everything and flashing to a new rom now.
very strange, never had problems on JF1.5 or 1.51. Have you tried flashing JF1.5? If that's still causing problems I'd try Cyanogens build. Sorry I can't help much, but you've already tried everything I would have suggested
yeah i've posted on a few forums and did everything there. then figured i might as well post here as a last resort.
I did try going back to 1.5 and things worked fine, then went to 1.51 again and everything happened again. I'd like to be running the latest release of any custom rom, and hero looks awesome so i'm thinking that if i can't fix this i'll just go through everything to upgrade to hero
There are no major changes from my JFv1.50 release, except a few new kernel modules.

Hardly anything to update for, but whatever, have fun with hero Don't flash the SPL without the Radio (seems obvious but loads of people are spamming looking for a nonexistent solution to unbrick :< )
yeah i guess. Just me being myself wanting the lastest things. And don't worry i won't do that. been reading all about it for the last few days after i decided to give up on jfs 1.51
thanks!

The Hero build certainly looks nice, but it might take you a while to get used to the slight slowness compared to the non-Rosie builds. Still... very pretty, keeps me mesmerized while I wait for my stuff to load... j/k
I've been using aHome for 5 months, i'm used to lag. lol.
nothing prepares you for Hero lag!!! just kidding, with linux-swap or compcache, its pretty snappy, but not comparable to non-hero builds.
well i'll find out soon enough. If it ends up being really bad then i may just go to some other ROM but i'm really hoping to have hero run good. Unfortountly i just have a normal Micro SD 2GB which has no class distinction so hopefully it'll be alright. If not i may have to go get another 8GB.
When i tried to format the last 8GB to get apps2sd working one program destroyed the card. shows up as 8MB now instead of GB. lol.
use cyns rom. most fastes freshes bestes cupcake ever. even tastes better. and his recovery also.

there is a way to fix that on linux mentioned somewhere here on the forums...
it involves just writing 0's through the card

I too noticed alot of lagging in jf1.51 after moving all apps to sd so I took off Ahome and openhome and it runs alot better. I also need to get a class 6 sd card which will help speed things up. currious...does anyone know if there are limitations on the size of the sd card for G1? I looked on HTC's site and T-mobile's as well it just says micro sd 2.0.
didn't know that. guess i'm gonna have to grab that and try to fix my 8GB
and i thought that the G1 was capped at 8GB but i've seen people say they have 16GB cards so i guess you can go up to 16gb. which i think is the largest they make in micro sd

I'd wait til CM6 becomes final. 2.1 IMO just doesn't run well enough on G1's hardware. The speed is there, but apps get killed too easily for memory.

Well, I couldn't run Pandora and then check my email and do gchat. Pandora would shut off when I try to do other things. Didn't have SWAP set up. Didn't have this issue with 1.6.

There is a lot of good custom ROMs. Go check The Rom Bible and look at the ratings of every ROM there. You will find something good.
And I agree that Eclair is usable, but not to fast. You have to set up a swap partition to run it good enough to be a daily driver. However, you will not find as fast 2.1 ROM as stock Donut. G1 has too little RAM memory (processor is good enough). But something for something - if you once see 2.1 ROM you won't want to go back, trust me .
If you're looking for speed - check Dwang, it's very good.
BUT! Very much depends how your son will use the phone. If his gonna do a lot of multitasking and play with the phone 24/7 then he should stay on 1.6 or start reading how to really set up an Eclair ROM to run smooth. If he is really casual user then almost every ROM will be OK for him.

2.1 sucks for multitasking. My widgets update 5 minutes late on average and sometimes they never do and I have to open the app to get them to update. Horrible.

that problem went away for me as soon as I ditched all Widgets that required a background dedicated service.. rather than just using the widget API to update from application data.

Interesting.
If he's anything like my son, he'll be using the phone for messaging. I would definitely avoid Eclair and Froyo for now. No need to root it - stock 1.6 is fine for most everyday purposes. If he starts to want to install tons of apps, then you can root and start investigating your options.
lol that happened to me my first day having the phone >.<
Not a fan of mobile gaming, but purchased this today as it looks awesome for a phone, though after downloading, damn thing downloads again, taking ages, some reported it taking half an hour, and it causes error at 13% on my phone constantly, so I opened this thread to see if anybody can help on troubleshooting, so far, I've deleted the app in the SD card, un-installed and have started it again.
Got it to work, was low on memory on SD card.

Tried it for a bit and runs perfectly on the desire hd. Problem is there isn't a demo so its all or nothing. Its a 7mb download but then need another couple of hundred after you download it. Which will take a while over 3g killing any chances of a refund!

I'm using Sense, ROM: Revolution HD, it's working perfectly, I'm enjoying this game, very addictive, onlines pretty good, but disconnects at time, can get annoying, nevertheless, very good game. It's a strategy/RPG, you will not be unhappy, especially at that price.

Make sure you have plenty of space on your memory card, for some odd reason it gives error, just keep relaunching it and it continues from where it stops.
wow looks pretty awesome actually. Might have to buy that

Hi folks, I have the original amoled sim free HTC Desire and I'm wondering if it's worth replacing it with an Incredible S? To be fair I probably wouldn't be considering doing this if it wasn't for the current deal at CPW.
What do you think?
Definitely this phone rocks....
The newer gen chipset makes a huge diff imo.

I just traded my x10 for this recently lol
Best trade ever..
This phone is easily the best I've ever owned.
Does the IS need to make use of a2sd, or does it have enough app space as standard? Apologies but I don't know much about this phone.

It has a full 1.1gb of internal storage available to the user.
You can use apps2sd on any froyo or GB ROM for any phone so you can use that if you like. I haven't had to yet and I have a ton of apps.
Seriously, this phone is pure win
I also came from the desire amoled and now the IS. Sure worth it! The newer sense and the phone just runs a bit smoother.

I agree. There is plenty of internal storage that I haven't had to consider A2SD at all. I still have over 700MB free.
Brilliant, thanks for your replies. I've got got home with my new phone.
My phone shows that there's a system software update available, is it worth having? I'm on 2.3.3 now.
EDIT: Well that's odd, I've just checked again and now there isn't an update available! I must have been seeing things.

Hmmm, I have very poor phone signal here compared to the Desire. I've tried the GSM/WCDMA option too. Has anyone tried the 'foil' antenna boost trick?
Also just done a factory reset and I now have the 'software update available' message, installing it now.

What version were you on? What version is it after you installed the software update?
I don't have this at all, I actually find my signal pretty damn good. Might be because it is the canadian version of the inc s perhaps?
Software number is showing as 2.30.405.1, I don't know what is was on before.
I believe one of the things from the update you just installed was providing a better signal... I also did the foil thing when I was on froyo. Now I removed it and signal is doable.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
My phone signal might well be showing a bit stronger than it was before the update, I'll give it a few days and see how I get on with it.
The foil antenna mod is interesting, but I wonder if it has any negative effects, aren't antennas usually a specific size/ratio?
The antennas on this are on the phone cover. Try cleaning them.

I sort of went down the rooting route due to everyone saying it was a MUST - even though the LG ran well, everything worked well and battery life was OK if not groundbreaking. So I was kind of half-hearted to start with.
Well, after 2 days of having to keep re-romming after this didn't work and that didn't work (Bluetooth in particular) I just can't get MIUI to see the 16gb card as the 16gb it is, it shows as 5. Now I had read this before. But that the LG software had this problem not the rooted stock. I even tried to go back to LG's original - It didn't work. The download on here (UK version of original Optimus 2x) doesn't install. Says "aborted" - this after horrendously slow download speeds. Keeps saying it's part of a multi-pack on my PC. Put them both on, but....
Anyways. The 16gb card. Ive tried another 16gb card with the same end result.
Can anyone PLEASE help me. Ive got no help on the MIUI site, and just lost. I tried to install Navfree and another navigation prog (Navfree UK maps don't download properly - keeps demanding more and more downloads. Ridiculously so - had to be uninstalled) tried another one, and it said it needed a 750mb download and there wasn't enough room - there was a MOUNTAIN of room. But its showing as 5. (Even there, theres not close to 5gb used)
Can anyone PLEASE help ?
All Ive got so far asking on half a dozen sites, is silence so far in 4 days
I doubt what is 'seen' as 5 gb by your phone is your SD card. I haven't ever heard of such problems. Big chances are, which often happens, that you're mistaking the internal memory as the sd card.
Stock MIUI mounts the internal and external cards the same way as stock LG ROM, but there could be a chance you used a swap mount mod without knowing.
I actually wanted to laugh, here i upload a file just for you
Here is the link for the sd mod.

You might have fake memory, memory thats been hacked to look like it has more than it does....the chinese do stupid s**t like that. Sometimes when the card is formatted the true memory capacity is revealed.

Er.....I checked, and yes, a big thanks given to you for your help. Quite profuse, actually. Ive just noticed the "thanks" button - but you could have done it with a LOT more grace.
Clearly, being thanked profusely didn't do it for you ?
Hard man to please.
I'll click the button then that I missed until er.....reminded of it a little too grumpily for me - hopefully that'll tick the box for you.
Still, while being a little miffed at the attitude, Im still very grateful for your help, for all that.
