My Desire-friend said he has to set to Flight Mode in order to play Nova. And his is the *ahem* version.

Anyone tried the *ahem* version and do we have to set to Flight Mode as well?

Not too familiar with their rooting. But definitely not as EASY as our execute "update.zip" file rooting/flashing method. lol

Desire has 1 major problem that requires their user's time to root, which is to solve the bottleneck on the ROM space, which is 512MB. They are forced to use A2SD+, which requires a lot of modding here and there. My friend played with it the whole day to finally get it to work, then realised that the EXT2 he formatted can only utilize up to 1gb of space, which he allocated 2gb from his SD card. So ended up he has to re-partition the whole thing and redo again.

I guess I could say that I was luckier when it comes to this. lol.

Similarly, Google's voice recognition on Froyo requires internet connection as well. I guess the database is just too big to be stored in the phone's memory.

Added on October 24, 2010, 1:23 amI did my own recording based on the results from the Battery Stat widget, from time to time.

Yeah, I was really depressed on the weak battery life on my phone earlier. Which has improved much more after I did Voodoo Beta4 + display lagfix.

The calendar sync on Desire has got problems with Facebook. Hope they fixed this on DHD.

Added on October 24, 2010, 1:26 amYes you do, if you are going to be adventurous with your phone. Otherwise, don't bother.

Aside from that, try connecting your phone to PC USB. Then when the battery charging picture is showed, when you press on any buttons. Try the 3-button salute again. It might work.

Added on October 24, 2010, 1:29 amI noticed that, if I connected the cable to my PC before starting up my phone, the USB mount option will not appears most of the time. If I connect the cable when the phone is still active, then I'll see the USB mouting option. So I have to unplug the cable and plug it in again so I get that USB notification.

Perhaps the USB debugging mode does solve this minor problem.

Added on October 24, 2010, 1:37 amTry this. I used this for rooting. Don't bother running the EXE file. Just run the .bat files.

I've rooted my Eclair via rootme.bat. Make sure your adb.exe is in working condition, meaning your USB driver is correct. As for how to use ADB, check Google.

Desire HD was claimed to have a faster GPU than SGS.

Well, it's claimed by the manufacturer ma.

But initial benchmark does show a slightly higher fps in 3D games, compared with SGS.

Ooo, sounds nice...

Err... is it still on... RFS?

RM50 worth of calls, SMSes and/or MMSes. But do remember, these amount of calls, SMSes and MMSes that you've spent are taxable with 5% govt tax.

As for the other RM48, it's for your 500MB data transfer, be it GPRS, EDGE or 3G/HSDPA. MMSes download/upload are excluded from this.

All these specifics should includes roaming as well where roaming charges are applied.

Hope this clear things up for you. And yeah, don't bother trying to understand Maxis bill. It's bloody vague and complicated.

Does it? no idea on that.

The figure seems pretty odd to be capped though.

Added on October 24, 2010, 1:15 pmI think if the 3-button salute doesn't work. By plugging in the PC USB cable, it might work. For those who bricked their phone and never managed to get their 3-button salute to works.

Added on October 24, 2010, 1:16 pmI've spent RM50+ on my 3rd weeks on calls/smses. So I had to revert back to my Hotlink during the "waiting" period.

Due to certain circumstances, I don't always exceed RM50 calls every month. Eg, this month has been going slow. So I need the most economical plan right now.

Anyone noticed that their Google Goggle not working after applying Voodoo Beta4 lagfix on Eclair?

It gives error on Kernal doesn't support IPv6.

I assume you didn't reboot after the lagfix?

No idea why your phone stays awake, somehow Voodoo Beta4 works for me, especially on battery saving department.

Never notice that, whether I'm on/off BT/wired handsfree. Whether the other party hangup first or I hangup first.

As I always look at the screen to make sure it's disconnected before putting back into my pocket.

Could it be some other patch? Did you apply the display patch that comes with Voodoo as well, or just plain lagfix?

Added on October 25, 2010, 12:54 pmDoes it play by folders?

Not able to do that for Android at the moment.

1. Nope

2. Nope

3. Nope. Unread mail count would be refresh when you get new email push, provided if you use the Samsung Email push app.

My Eclair JG4 is 325MB as shown in the Samsung's Task Manager.

Swype is a rather "smart" keyboard.

For built-in apps, it will display a smiley icon ":-)" instead of carriage return "90-deg bent arrow". You just have to live with it, if you can't press enter. It's a discussed matter on the net and there isn't a fix to this so far.

If you are looking into entering carriage-return for SMS, you can either switch the input method (keyboard) or use 3rd party SMS application. Handcent SMS is a good start.

Added on October 27, 2010, 12:32 amReboot the phone. The lag is fixed again.

The only shortfall is access to database is slow on Voodoo. 1 example is my WhatsApp. Incoming/outgoing messages will jammed my phone for 1-2 seconds.

Yes it does. RyanZA of OCLF claimed that his lagfix would fix this issue which was caused by fsync call on file close. Due to the design of the NAND ROM on SGS, the fsync performance was really slow, hence his fix targeted on reducing the number of file close as well, which in turn reduces lag. The reason why Voodoo doesn't speeds up database write is because almost every apps are designed to execute file close, which in turns calls fsync (by the ROM's firmware) that has impact on performance.

That would be the explanations given by RyanZA, or somewhere along the line as I read from XDA.

I presume u can't use Samsung's Social Hub anymore after you upgraded to Froyo fw? The push email by Samsung is quite good.

Isn't that battery hogging as well?
