I am running UD .8. When I first flashed the ROM my phone was snappy but over the weeks has started to lag. Is there a way to gain the speed back without reflashing?

Will a Smoked Glass update delete or overwrite my flashed Motorola Droid thats currently on the Cricket service or in other words will it mess up my flashed service causing me to have to get it re-flashed back to cricket? Or is it like a somewhat update for ROOTED phone users that want to increase there phone's capabilities as compared to the stocked Android versions that were already released? I would hate to have to re-flash it even though its simple.Ok I did the update and so far the only problems are:
-That my 3G, or internet access through Cricket doesnt work anymore
-I cannot gain access to the Android Market, neither through Wifi or 3G (But as I mentioned my 3G doesnt work any more)
-I cannot gain access to GMAIL through App, even on Wifi
-GPS switch doesnt turn on GPS feature nor does the switch within the [Location & Security] enables the GPS feature
-In the [Add an account] the Gmail account has been deleted
-In the [Privacy settings] the only option available is "Factory data reset," Im not sure if thats a major problem but I thought I'd mention it But the plus's that I noticed so far are:
-The speed of my phone has increased greatly
-Youtube videos are now playable through the pre-installed app Does anybody know any possible fixes to the above problems, if so i'd appreciate it?
-Or to answer my question would my problem be fixed if I return back to my previous ROM that I backed up and then update it in order from v7 to v8 to v9 then to v10?
-Cause my previous ROM was Smoked Glass v6.0
-And if I do a factory reset will it delete my FLASHED service causing me to have to re-flash my phone?
The Verizon charger doesn't supply enough power to make up for what GPS uses, and I know I read of some kind of adapter that makes the car lighter output a higher charge for micro USB, but I can't seem to search for the right terms, can somebody help me?
View 14 Replies View RelatedWell, upon attempting to read as much as possible before taking the plunge, I've run across a few methods to accomplish the same thing. I'm currently running 2.1 OTA(stock) and wanted the most basic way to root with the least chance of bricking.
I've gone through the guides, but have also run into DroidMod's guide on flashing 2.1 with recovery.
RSD is a little intimidating to me and I'm afraid if I breathe wrong on the phone, it will become a paperweight.
Is using RSD the only/easiest way to gain root? Sorry for the redundant question, however there are a few threads on this topic and dated within a few months of one another and I'm which route to take.
I am a new Motorola Droid user. My phone came with 2.0.1 installed. I installed Instant Root 1.04 and attempted to run it but got a message "unble to gain access". I started down this road because I wanted to backup my phone so I could do a hard reset. So installed "Titanium Backup". It wouldn't run because my rom wasnt rooted. So i have spend 4 hours researching and each item i find leads me to another issue or program to install. Most everything seems to involve rooting. One question I have is if there is a difference between 2.0.1 preinstalled an 2.0.1 ota?
For background I wanted to reset the phone because none of the 3rd party contact or phone dialing packages will read the native phone list or contacts. I owned a Omnia i910 and did a considerable amount of customization on it to I am reasonably familiar with digging around in the guts for a general user.
I have heard the Eris Qualcom processor actually has GSM radio capability. Is there any way to gain access to this so as to enable some use of the device in Europe for traveling? Or would that require a SIM card on the device- end of story?
I'd love to get the Eris, or new N1/Passion when avail, but not having it operate internationally is a problem.
Could some one give me a definitive set of steps for reflashing the ROM back to original HTC? I'm getting quite confused. Is there an official HTC ROM that can be downloaded or do they all come from enthusuats' bedrooms? Also, does this equate to rooting and will it invalidate my warranty?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWell I had some issues trying to goto the i9000 rom so I had to reflash back to stock. I had one paid app SystemPanel App / Task Manager and now its asking me to buy it again. I wasn't rooted so couldn't do a backup with titanium but will find a back up program for future backups of paid apps. So can anyone tell me how to get it back or did I just pee a way 3 bucks
View 8 Replies View RelatedDifference between rooting and just debranding/reflashing? Will an Orange branded phone need SIM-unlocking first? Hboot is 0.83 - do I need a Gold Card? What's the best source for the new ROM/firmware? - I like the HTC stuff as it is, and want to keep Sense. In which case, should I flash generic HTC Android 2.1 and then do the official Froyo OTA?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI traded my Dinc in for an X. I was getting about 2mb down and 1.8 up. Now with the X I am at .5 to .8 and less for up. This is very noticeable! Surfing the web on the X is too slow. Anyone else considering getting rid of the X for something faster? I am at about 74db signal strength and 4 bars.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have noticed much better download speeds since updating to the most recent 2.2 leak (same as the OTA) even though i dont have the new radio. i rarely (if ever) got above 1Mbps. now i've been hovering anywhere between 1.8 and 2.0. i'm very happy about this. before, i was around 600-800k. Where is everyone else? I'm curious about how speeds are in different parts of the country, and if you have before/after results.
View 11 Replies View Relatedi just downloaded the speedtest app and i am curious if my speeds are average or sub par. my results are as follows:
down: .21mbps
up: .49mbps
ping: 189ms
i ran my taskiller to kill other apps thinking it would speed my rates up but no real improvements. the funny thing is if i tether my phone via easytether and run the speedtest on my laptop my rates jump to over 1 full mbps. not sure why though
I just wanted to get some thoughts on this. I have been using the Mflops people post to judge how fast a ROM is running, but I just came across something that seems to contradict what I had thought. I have been using ultimate droid at 1250mhz and was able to get about 10mflops out of it. I thought it ran pretty darn fast compared to some others I tried. I now loaded up cyanogen with Bekit Kernal 7X1300LV. The operating system and all the apps are running at incredible speeds when set to 1100mhz (slower that where I was with the ultimate droid). Now I am getting 8-9mflops but it is clearly running a lot faster. Can someone explain the relationship? Is it incorrect to judge soley on Mflops?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo i rooted and overclocked to 800.. and frankly, i dont really see a difference.
contacts/msg loads just as quick as stock. browser still has the same speed (somewhat choppy, not silkly like the iphone but still fast, im assuming it has to do w/ the way the developers coded the scrolling).
so am i missing something? went back to unrooted stock and i dont feel the phone being any slower..
so I'm just curious where you guys see the blazing difference
I was trying to update my Moment to 2.1, but something went wrong in the update process. I've tried simply restarting the process from the beginning, but that didn't work, and the progress bar still goes nowhere. If I turn the phone on i get a white screen that says "can not find jpg or png" at the top. If I do volume down+call+end, I get the same thing, but under the "can not find" error it says "recovery mode." But that's it. There are no options to select, and the buttons and touchscreen are unresponsive. However, I can still get to download mode with vol down + camera + end. What is the process for re flashing the phone using download mode, and where can I get the software?

Anybody else see that they have the speed in MPH at the top of your map. This is one feature I have been hoping they would add to Google maps for a long time. Is this a Droid X feature only?
View 5 Replies View RelatedFirst off, let me just say that I recently switched over to the Droid from my Palm Pre on Sprint, which was a huge letdown for me. I'm loving my Droid so far and I just rooted it today with Sholes 1.2 ROM. I'm not that impatient to install a 2.1 ROM on my phone, as I already like 2.0.1 enough to keep it stock.I was curious about installing some of the 2.1 apps on it, which is why I ended up installing Sholes 1.2. However, I've noticed that it seems to take quite a bit of my memory compared to stock 2.0.1. In fact, it seems to run slower in general than the stock 2.0.1. Is there any way to improve this, or should I just wait for the 2.1 OTA?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just recently got the D2 after having the D1 for a year. I loved the D1 and loving the D2 as well, except for a couple of minor issues, but one that is really bugging me is the speed of the network on the D2. I've tested with the D1 and was getting over 1Mbps frequently. I have tried in numerous locations, different parts of the city, different times of days, and keep getting very slow test results. On the status bar it reads 3G, and the tests come back at 129kbps, 102, 165. Horrible IMO. I have *228 many times, is there anything else I'm missing? Or is this a known problem? I've searched and came up with nada.

View 2 Replies View RelatedHas anyone else downloaded this app. And if so what was your results using Verizon and not wifi.
My scores were:
Download- 15kbs
Upload- 45kbs
My pings average 19 to 36
I don't know if these are good or bad since I'm new to verizon so figured I would ask and compare.
WITH WIFI I GET
DL-500+
UL-100+
JUST FIGURED I'd through that in the mix also.
How are people with the X getting these high of MFLOPS and how is that guy at the top have a 1.154 MHz speed on his x? What gives...are these fake and if so, how are they tricking the system?
The best I get rooted and all, bloatware removed, Autokiller set to ultimate and I get 8.22
How do you overclock Droid (rooted)? How do you confirm or examine clock speed?
View 23 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to show your current speed while using google navigation or google maps? I see a couple of aps in the market that show your speed on the whole screen, but that is it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering how they actually reach their max speed? If you have a kernal that has 250, 600, 800, 1000, 1200. Does it start at 250 then go 600, 800, 1000, then finally hit 1200? Or does it jump to the necessary speed that your using (like start at 250 then it could go to 1000 then 1200)? Because if it has to go through each speed to get to its max, then a kernal with 5 different ones would be much better than 10 wouldn't it? I've never seen this question asked before, so does anyone know how they actually get up to their max?
Just so everyone knows I'm rooted and running overclock of 1200.. I have it set up. Just want to know how it works.
Just tried to oc to 1.3 ghz, tons of random reboots so i went down to 1.1 ghz, with the same thing. So I guess I'm stuck at 1ghz for now. Could this be the ROM I am running (smoked glass v4.0) or is 1 ghz just the max for my phone to be stable? How fast are you guys going while staying stable?
