[Q] Froyo SFR update.. - Legend General

HI all,
Despite almost a year since purchase, I still have a great reluctance to do the official update to Froyo in my HTC Legend SFR.
Can someone advise me to proceed the update or not?
thank you,
Weldmongi

just go for it! It's faster anyway...

you can update, but remember that after the update you can't s-off your phone anymore

My real problem with the update of SFR/HTC froyo, is that all the people find it bugger ! (it makes the legend veeery slow...) And there is no real solution proposed by SFR/HTC nor anyone other in any forum.
Has anyone dowload it and try it so he can give me advise.
Thank you,
weldmongi

HI,
any advise please?

I have a legend with Froyo @ SFR. After the update it was extremely slow after running for a few hours, and I found that it was the "system" process that was taking all the CPU (thus consuming battery faster, as a matter of fact). But I found somewhere how to get it working again :
The trick is to enable USB debugging in Settings->Applications->Development->USB Debugging (I guess you have it in French so that would be Paramètres->Applications->Développement->Débogage USB)
It won't get in your way, even when the phone's connected with USB, so don't worry. It is not really known why it fixes the problem, but it works, no more 95% CPU usage and battery drawn in less than a day !

My Magician freezes

Hello all,
last week I got my new HTC Magician, here in Austria so called "T-Mobile MDA Compact". Unfortunately I have the problem, that my device freezes from time to time (at least 1 time a day). This happens most of the time when using the T-Mobile IntelliDialer, but sometimes it happens even when I do not use the device at all.
When the problem occurs, I am not able to make or receive a call, the upper status LED is gone as well (no signal, no blinking).
When I got the device I had ROM 1.13 installed, but after I heard that maybe this could cause the problems, I installed version 1.12 from T-Mobile site, but still have the same problems.
Now I am really out of ideas, don't know what to do. It seems I am not the only one with this problem, so I am afraid it hase no sense to switch the device with a new one @ a T-Mobile shop. Or do you guys have a "good", normal running Magician w/o this bug?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetings, Matthias
Helle again,
As you've got the same problems on rom 1.12 & 1.13 and you got it just for a week I'd say go back and get another one. There are people with simular issues and I guess there are much more users without it, like myself.
So my advice use your warrenty, make a backup of your contacts etc. first with sprite (trial version is available) or AS or whatever, saves you a lot of times. I won't restore the apps just reinstall, maybe it is some combination of a faulty program & with a backup you get that back as well. And it gives you the chance to determine, if possible, what's causing the freeze.
Good luck, M
ok, then thanks again
Today I made a ROM update @ T-Mobile. If that did not the trick (I will look for errors the next days), then I will use my warranty and change the device itself. I hope they don't send it to technical support somewhere, but give me another one instead...
Greetings and thanks for your infos, Matthias

Hi,
I have been using my Magician for almost 8-9 months .. moving from ROM version 1.11 to 1.13 WWE BigStorage (radio 1.11 to 1.13 as well).Recently (last 1mth or so) I start to notice that I have a strange problem similiar to you, my 'radio' would 'hang' where I cannot receive or make calls, can't even receive or send SMS. However, my signal (the top bar signal strengh) will still work. This is really fustrating .. because the PDA still works, I won't know when my Magician 'hangs' ... (at least until I try to send SMS or make a call).
I've downgraded to Radio 1.11 & ROM 1.11 ... I'm still facing this problem, but not as often (sometime once in 2 days). The strange thing is that my wife who is using a Magician as well, is facing the same problem (symptom arrise almost the same time together). Both our phone used to be fine.
So far, no luck trying to locate the source of the problem, and I don't think both our magician's hardware got screwed at the same time ... I have a feeling, it has something to do with GPRS ... gut feel ... but cannot confirm.
Anyone face this problem and managed to solve it, I would appreciate any pointers ... Many thanks!
Note : I don't install additional ROM software such as CallerID, etc ... I only use intellidialer.
Hello, you could be right with your GPRS feeling, I have it as well...
Is the LED of your device blinking, when you have one of these freezes?
Hi guys,
Don't know if this gets you on the right track, but a few months ago I had major memory problems with my magician. Thought it was a virus, probably was one or two today plug-ins that consumed all of my memory very rapidly. Think of plug-ins like OO journalbar. Didn't look at the led blinking I just soft-reseted to solved the prob. for a few minutes. Very inconvenience when you're navigating in a car.
Since I ditched these plug-ins eveything is fine, tried them afterwards of course & noticed the memory leaks.
When you're not using anything like those apps. it must be something else. Maybe there's something on the forum.
Cheers, M
I thought about some apps or plugins as problem source too, so I refreshed my device without installing any additional app to it -- no success. So I still have these hangups, even if I have no tool installed...
Sounds like really s..tty problem.
Does the use of gprs or phone functionalities make any difference? what happens when you skip the ext-rom installation (hard-reset & soft-reset just before the customization kicks in) & go for basic WM2003, without all the TMO apps&branding?
M
... tried this allready, but without any difference, device freezes serveral times a day. I would say it's a hardware fault, can't think of another problem source.
Yesterday I spoke with a T-Mobile tech @ T-Mobile support. He told me, he is not aware of this problem and he always had "good" devices. And he updated my ROM to latest version...
Since I still have the problem, I will change my device now and see if this makes any difference!
haimat,
I think exchanging your magician is the best option, the techi might be right in saying he only encountered good ones. Haven't found much error reports like yours, so the rest must be good (look at the bright side). Hope you can trade it directly without any hassle & enjoy your magician for the rest of it's lifetime.
Found some people with a universal with simular probs. didn't read all posts though there were so many. So can't tell you how it ended, it's about a JasJas that hangs and hangs and ...
In the meantime good luck with the change of your device.
Cheers, M

Random device slow down: can i fix it?

I love my hd2, and no i have hspl on and a new radio rom things have gotten even better. Pretty much the last thing i would like to be fixed is the "random" device slow downs i occasionally get. The slow downs are pretty crippling effecting keyboard, scrolling and even unlocking!
Im guessing im not alone (and do remember one of the engadget reviews mentioning it), and would really like it fixed.
I am using the stock 1.48 windows rom with all the usual hotfixes applied. I close every app when im finished with it and rarely have more than activesync and the "in use" app running. (TO the extent that sometimes the device slows massively just typing a text).
Is this something that anyone else has had any success fixing?
Have you looked through the Hints & Tips thread on here? Also have you looked through the large SMS thread also on here which will throw some light on your SMS issue?
WB
it probably has something to do with the automatic updates. i deactivated all except mail every 2hrs and the phone runs like hell . mind you, i have artemis onboard....
maybe you have something against custom roms but why don't you upgrade at least to the official 1.66?
Normally when I get slow downs I just run htcaddicts.com's CleanRAM and the slow down seems to disappear.
It must be something to do with how WM manages memory...?
Can someone with a bit of tech knowlege confirm or discount this?
Ive been through all of the tweaks here thanks. Sadly the device slow down doesnt seem to be related to anything in particular althought maybe it is a background data update for shares/twitter/email?
I have tried cleanram but generally it gains less than 2mb even in level 3 as I close everything once Im finished with it.
I havent upgraded to 1.66 as i dont want to have to reinstall everything on my phone for pretty much unspecified "updates". If i could get exact details of what i would gain with 1.66 from 1.48 then maybe id upgrade..
slow downs and freezes still occur in latest rom unfortunately...
I read on another thread someone sent their phone back and got a working model - first Ive seen of it though so hopefully not a board fault.
I also had slowdowns with 1.48, and the stock 1.66. With my current ROM I haven't seen one, except for a couple of times with ActiveSync going mad when trying to sync over bluetooth.
I have to admit i kind of think its core to WM6.5 and sense so i doubt any rom would fix this. I am hoping that as WM7 gets sense then the new kernel will support Snapdragon so we get some processor head room.

Hi, I have one question.
If I have the permanent root from churli (I'm sorry if I miss-spelled it..), do I just updated it regularly? I used to update all the firmwares by just downloading the firmware right on my A70 and install it right away.. but will that work if I have the root? I just rooted my A70 yesterday...and I'm a newbie haha

I just followed Steps 2, 3, 4 of Chulri's post. Chulri already has the new files for "fw 2.3.26 +rw" for Step 3. I like the optional Step 4 because I don't have to worry about holding down the volume button everytime I boot to get root.
Hi,
Has somebody tested this new release?
I updated to version 3.2.20 last week and I was very happy when I realized that cinema plugin was not required to play all the formats which I was not able to before the update (AAC, AC3, MPEG2, etc)
Can somebody confirm if this has not been "fixed"?
Thank you.
Well I have tried this new release and all I can say is bootloop, oh and to top it off I think that my right speaker has blown.
Archos I hope you're reading this, you need to sort your firmware releases out. Whilst you're at it Gingerbread would be nice. If you can put it on the Arnova with inferior hardware you have no excuse but to port it to the 101.

I just noticed the update when I went to the archosfans 2.3.20 bugs thread to report wifi drop powersave disabled while running tunein radio...
OTA update went fine, just waiting for A43 to charge up, then I'm going to do the A32 as well...
[EDIT]
Power LED blinking -> UI batt meter (and About Device) say 98% charge...
had this once with 2.3.20 showing 97% when LED blinking but next charge and thereafter showed 100% when LED blinking...
[/EDIT]
I had this Problem from the first day.
LED blinks and the battery show around 90%.
If i unplug the power the status goes to 98-100%, most 100%.
If i reboot the device with plugged power, the status is 75-90% after restart.
Sometimes the status falls to 87-91% if i plugged the power in.
I can live with it, but it is annoying.
did they remove bluetooth PAN tether ? I had dun/pan option while setting up BT tether with 2.3.20. but now no more that option. the probken for me is, i am using cdma phone(bell htc touch) but with BT DUN the Archos cannot dial CDMA number #777. I set bell APN (pda.bell.ca) it's not working. Actully even if it works I worry about it because it may charge me more.
Before with 2.3.20 , it worked perfect with BT PAN and my phone set to Internet sharing.
This update cleared up my waking-up issue.
It's pretty much an instant on now after the monitor idles off. Before, (after being off for more than a few minutes) it was a crap-shoot as to whether or not the screen would come on and I often had to fight with it and double, triple, quadruple tap the power button to get things alive. No longer.
still reboot cycles problems when charging the 101..problem started with these last 2 updates.
twit.tv app FCs all of the time with this fw...
I wonder why they released this one OTA as it seems to be more broken than .20 was...
youtube and many other flash video played in the browser hangs after about 15 seconds or so. Soemtime this causes the whole system to freeze requiring forced reboot.
This is the worse build so far, my A70 was most stable at 2.1.08.
Wow. I am having the exact opposite experience with this firmware. I find the browser and flash to be very solid. Before I could never play even youtube mobile in HD without it freezing and forcing a hard reboot.
Also, i'm having less general freezes.
I am still having absolutely no luck whatsoever with tethering to my Android phone (cliq). It's driving me crazy cause this was one of the main reasons I went with Archos.
Have you guys done a full reinitialization? That's what I did and, even though it's a pain to reload all your files, it might help with many of the problems you are having.

As a matter of fact I did an Android reset to get away from some of the problems I was having with bootloops and such. This has helped with the general performance of the 101, which I'd say is down to the 64mb swap file I now enjoy.
I did have a couple bootloops until I enabled a lock screen pattern unlock and I have now experienced nothing but fairly good performance
It seems that 2.3.26 is different from vesions before

You'd probably be better off posting in the archosfans.com forum's bug list thread for 2.3.26 as Archos employees actually monitor that site and have actually even started some of the buglist/fw release threads... i.e. I'm not sure that they're even aware of the xda-devs gen8 section and even if they were would they bother to read it...

thanks for replying.
what is CM7? DO I NEED IT INSTALL CM7 AS WELL?
OR I CAN JUST USE 407 Olleh Rom?
CM(Cyanogen Mod)is one of the famous custom ROM at android.
Number follows at 'CM' is shows you that what's the base version of Android.
CM6 - It bases on Froyo version.
CM7 - It bases on Gingerbread version.
CM8 - (if it releases)It bases on Honeycomb version. But It didn't exists.
CM9 - It bases on Ice Cream Sandwich Version.
Originally this CM only supports limited kinds of devices but developers were edit it to able to use on other devices(this works calls 'porting'). Developer calls hPa ports other device's CM7 to Streak.(and also MIUI)
CM7 is fast and stable. But In my opinion, CM's battery consume late is higher than other ROM. I don't know other people agree with my opinion. But battery seriously drains.
Except that CM7 is fine. If you worry about this Problem. I recommend you to Use DSC ROM. It's also fast and stable. You can find it at below URL.

Dear warboat, thank you for those steps. I shall try to install cm7 today. One question though, am I required to root my steak? I am already running 407 olleh rom on my device. Do I just start with the latter part of instructions specific to cm7?

No, you do not need to root to install CM7. Installing CM7 will also root your Streak in the process.
Make sure you have the files needed and just start with instructions after the 407 install.

Dear Warboat,
Thank you for the prompt response. The following are the reasons why I am considering to upgrade to CM7.
Background of the device:
I purchased the streak about 2 months ago and it was shipped with ROM 357, Build 16864 being a Froyo 2.2.2. This device was purchased in India and used in India. However, I experienced the following problems with the device:
1. Frequent errors (viz. foreclose or wait)
2. Bad battery life (if the device were charged by 9 am in the morning, it would drain by approx. 6 pm in the evening.
Fortunately, the official 407 Olleh ROM was released of which i read good reviews. Hence, I immediately I upgraded my device to Gingerbread 2.3.3 without rooting the device.
I was happy with ROM 407 as it reduced the said frequent errors upto a great extent and drastically improved the battery life. (the device now stays alive throughout the day)
However, there are some different problems which have cropped up with the device on ROM 407. They are the following:
1. Sometimes I am unable to answer phone calls as the swipe fails to respond.
2. Sometimes, while on a phone call the phone screen freezes and fails to respond. Hence, I am unable to either END the call, or put it on speaker, or perform a conference call. This sometimes gets cured in the event I press the Power Button to turn the screen off/on.
3. The device fails to notify me of a 'call wait' when I am already on a call. Hence, I end up missing those calls (some being important and urgent) and my only option is to return those calls once I have disconnected the earlier phone call.
4. Automatic conversion of SMS into MMS. However, this was cured by installing Handcent on my device.
5. Bad phone call reception: Sometimes, the party on the other end of the phone call complains of my voice cracking up. This however happens only when I am indoors. Perhaps it is a network specific (Vodafone) problem, as I have used the sim card of another network (Airtel) and I did not seem to face this problem with the latter network. (Again, not sure/fully convinced). May be it is a software or a hardware problem. (Honestly, I am quite lost with this issue and am considering getting it checked with the Dell service centre). I came across something called 'Mod for Dell Streak 5 Increases Signal Strength'. http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/dell-streak/
If you are aware, how effective is this mod and would it work in India?
So my question... would upgrading to CM7 solve most/all of the above mentioned problems?
Also, you mentioned that upgrading to CM7 would root my phone in the process of the installation. Hence would rooting the device void the warranty of the phone. In any event, how important/useful is the warranty? (From what I understand, folks at Dell are not very helpful and their service is poor).
I mention warranty especially in light of the phone call poor reception problem mentioned above.
Also, some apprehensions about CM7:
earlier today I was reading yours and some other folks posts regarding CM7 and the issues regarding battery life. It is important for me that the phone stays alive throughout the day as I would not be having access to the charger during the day. However, I understand that the battery life reduces mainly due to the wifii connection being activated. Please note that I shall activate either data access and/or wifii ONLY when required to use the internet on the device (which is for a relatively shorter duration in the day).
Because of such usage, in your opinion do you believe that I should not have a battery problem with CM7?
In the event the above mentioned problems get solved without upgrading to CM7, would you still recommend upgrading to CM7 or any other ROM? Would there be a general/over all improvement in the device?
Additionally, by some misfortune, if I am unable to successfully upgrade or after upgrading, I am not very happy with the new ROM, is it possible to roll back to ROM 407 Olleh without any issues?
Your help and assistance is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Arjun Sheth
CM7
I haven't had problems with calls so far although I have not used it extensively with calls.
The issues with touchscreen during calls in 407 ROM is mainly due to the proximity sensor handling. This issue can be fixed by editing build.prop with proximity sensor delay changes. In CM7, the proximity sensor works fine during calls and there is no touchscreen issue.
SMS works properly and doesn't get converted like in stock 407 Olleh ROM (there is a build.prop fix for this).
I have always felt the Streak was not the best at reception compared to other smartphones I have. I have three Streaks and I have noticed slight differences in reception between them running the same ROM and using the same carrier. It is likely a hardware issue. I am not sure if there were slight changes in hardware in different production batches of Streaks or it may just be a quality issue where slight variations in the antenna and/or its contact with the logic board affects its performance. I have not tried mods to boost signal strength as I am satisfied with its performance.
You can flash any ROM by using the appropriate recovery.img first, just like you would have done with 407 Olleh ROM. The procedure is the same and links for recovery files and stock ROMS can be found in the wiki. If you do have any issues with ROMs or fear that rooting may void warranty, you can return it back to any ROM. There is no rollback mechanism although backing up your firmware setup can be done.
As for battery, I can't really answer it as most Streaks are running batteries of different ages and health. I notice different battery performance just among the batteries I have. I am not real fussed about battery as I mostly carry a spare with me and usually get around 12 hours or so on a single charge with a battery in good health. I don't use my main streak with wifi except as a wifi hotspot when it is plugged in to power. However, I did use my spare streak in wifi only (no SIM card) and using it maybe an hour or so everyday, I managed to run for 100 hours unplugged with more than 10% battery left. This was with unmodified CM7 and wifi never disabled. This particular battery was the stock Dell battery that has been in this particular Streak which I have used everyday for over a year. CM7 is not the most efficient with battery but I find it acceptable.
In the end, CM7 is the most stable ROM with the least bugs that I have ever used on the Streak. It is extensively modded and has good performance. I value that over any issues with battery usage.
hi, thank you for the detailed response. as regards the phone reception, it was probably a hardware issue as i had the phone replaced with dell and it now works just fine.
as regards upgrading to cm7, may be i will wait until mid of may since i have way too much on my plate till then. since time does not permit me, i shall continue to stick with rom 407 olleh atm and may be amend the build.prop file to fix the proximity sensor issue. when i get the time to work on it, i will contact u and wud be grateful if u cud help me out with it then.
thanks

With every ROM i try i have the same issue: Bluetooth makes wifi to go soooo slow, any help ?

Hello guys, i'm getting crazy about this because, after trying a lot of custom and some official roms i keep having this problem: when bluetooth is active wifi is slow and become useless many times, not every times tho, which makes me even more confused but i'm pretty sure i've made a right diagnose of the problem and it's BT and Wifi interfering...
It's logical to think this must be a hardware issue, specially if you havent experienced it, and i might even try it in another p8 i have (i havent tried yet because it needs a new screen)
As a user i just can't live without bluetooth, maybe some of you didnt noticed it but you also have this issue... i'm just almost all day using bluetooth audio.
In case you experienced this problem, can you suggest any solution ? i'm sure this has to be a repeated problem in many devices due to the similar frequency range BT and Wifi operates (congratulations to the ones who decided to make this standards this way)
In the moment i think every custom rom i tried had some little imperfection or issue and, right now my choice is EMUi 4.1, for me the most valuable thing is the feeling of the OS, the stability, fluidity, consistence, elegance of the interface, and i can have all that with this firmware despite this f***** problem which is a total red line for me. Of course i'd root and customize EMUI a little bit...
BTW... i seem to worried for a 7 years old phone that i just love to have in my hand but its supposed to be just a spare phone while my main one waits for a fix... well yes, i got excited, and frustrated, and excited again... but i guess i will have to accept this dramatic situation and fix my new phone asap.
Suggestion of any custom rom or general solution for this ? thank you guys
