Motorola Droid X :: Advantages Of 2.2OTA Vs Leaks?
Oct 14, 2010
Now that it looks like the 2.2 SBF is online, how many people who are running leaks are going to upgrade to the 2.2 OTA that supposedly include an updated bootloader/kernel/radio? For those who did already, do you see any differences at all? Moto made some claims that the new one was better (i.e. that switching between wifi and 3g would be more seamless), but have people noticed differences? I guess I held out on upgrading to OTA because of the no SBF and the whole episode of the unlocked bootloader, but now should I consider upgrading? Would I lose any advantages of staying on the old boot loader?

Is it just me, or does it seem like it's been, what, a couple months since the last Froyo RC leak? Ok, maybe more like several days, but aren't you guys starting to jones hard for a newer 2.2 leak? When the first couple came out so quickly one after the other (along with the multiple new baseband versions) it seemed like it was going to be raining Froyo leaks (that sounds odd, doesn't it?) on an almost daily basis. I'm running well on BB Froyo v.2.0 plain vanilla, but looking forward to the next 2.2 RC to stumble out of Moto/Verizon's castle so we can continue the informal beta testing for them.

experts and newbies. What is the 3p baseband? What do we benefit from it? What baseband are we currently running? I have a Motorola Droid.

I root all my phones for various reasons, and have flashed ROM's before on the original Droid. On that device there were clear reasons to flash ROM's and since the community was ginormous, there was lots of information about the stability of various ROM's. So I'm new to the DroidX and wondering if there are any stable ROM's out that might be worth loading up (for fun and for performance boosts - not necessarily speed). I use my phone as a primary phone for work and home, so it has to be stable.

I have been messing with my eris. I held the power and send button and as usual it checked the leak file and asked if I wanted to update. At this time I noticed a list from one to four., one thing that was listed was bootloader and another was hboot My question would there be a way to get into the 2.1 leak file and some how switch the hboot and bootloader in it with the hboot and bootloader that is on the official ota file or some other jnoot or bootloader. Then convert it back to a zip file and reinstalling it like out was a v4 leak. Sorry if this was a stupid post but just trying to help leak users or devs brainstorm a little.

I found this on Android Central (thanks to IzelTokatl) and someone there did verify it worked for OTA 2.1 phones. I tried it on my leak version 3 phone and I got the Hboot error again. I'm thinking this does not bode well for phones with the leak as once Verizon releases the upgrade for download from PCD or HTC we still won't be able to use it until the Hboot problem is fixed. The following instructions for doing the downgrade to 1.5 are cut and pasted from the Android Central forum and I edited them for PC's: Download the MR2 Upgrade Eris ROM from verizon partner: personal Communications Devices
1. Unzip the file
2. Plug your phone into your PC.
3. Navigate to folder ADR6200_MR2_Upgrade
4. Run .exe file in the folder (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.17.605.1_release_signe d_with_driver.exe)
5. follow on screen instructions.

I have read through a nuber of posts but cannot seem to find an answer to this question:
Is there a way to disable the haptic feedback (vibration) from the HOME keys - I have successfully stoped this function for the touchpad.:
1. My phone will access YouTube but does not play all videos. It plays about 30 % of the ones I select - is this a phone problem? Is than an update?
2. I charge my phone each night, 11p to 7a and plug it in to the car charger for longer trips (use a bluetooth while driving) - am I killing my battery?
3. What will be the major advantages of an upgrade to Android 2.0 which I hear is rumored for the Eris in 1stQ 2010>
Love the phone...can't wait to try the GPS 'Where Am I' app on a local golf course (can it identify the bar also?)

Will the code cause a memory leak? Essentially I switch between various layouts in my application using setContentView(), and I have member variables of my activity that maintain references to various views (buttons/text views) on the layouts. Am I correct in thinking that if the activity class has a reference to a button and then changes layouts the layout wont be garbage collected because it will still hold a button reference? If this is the case, can I just null the button variable before changing layouts?

I bought an EVO off of Ebay about a week or so ago and just noticed my light leakage is getting pretty bad. I have sprints insurance on it so I was wondering a few things.
1. Will it be a pain to turn it in for a new phone, and what do I have to pay to do so...I'm guessing they will send me a new one then I'll mail mine back to them>?
2. Would it be the smarter thing to do to wait just a little bit to see the new builds? I'm using a 0003 with a nova screen.

When start Activity A, I found the memory usage of application is about 5MB. Then start Activity B from A via startActivity. In Activity B, I created a thread, and traverse file system in this thread, after traversing completed, call finish() and to return to Activity A. At this time, I found the memory usage of application is about 8MB (GC is forced before check memory usage). How to find Where memory leaks? By the way, I checked the memory usage with DDMS.

I have a very simple application which has a problem with getting ListViews to be freed by the GC. i have a ViewGroup which has a ListView. When the page with the ViewGroup no longer has any references to it, and I force a GC, the ListView is not freed. The project in question is quite small and can be found at http://gabysoft.com/download/MemoryLeak.zip. If you run it, the first page has a button and a ListView (which has no items so you cannot see it). When you press the button it switches to a second page which has just a button. When you press the button on the second page, it creates a new ViewGroup and ListView and sets that as the current view. Thus, every time you switch pages, a new ViewGroup/ListView is created, and all references to the old one go away. Hence the old one should be GC'd. However if you switch views 20 times and then force a GC you will see that the ListViews are never freed (i.e. their finalize method (which is logged) is not called). Now here is the really weird part. This happens ONLY if I build my project using Eclipse. If I use Ant to build and install the project, the ListViews are all freed when I do a GC as you would expect. Why would the Eclipse version exhibit this behavior?

I was trying to find out were my apps memory was being leaked and was able to discover that when calling registerCallback(...) it would lead to a memory leak after a screen orientation change. What could be some possible things that are causing the leak? I've tried many things. And I do have a unregisterCallback(..) call.

I've read that it is a mistake and a source of memory leaks in Android application to keep a long-lived references to a Context.
But I don't understand if it is ok to create an class that looks like this one:
CODE:..........
And call it from an Activity:

Any user friendly android app which can effectively show which apps cause memory leaks on a phone?
I can only find developer tools to detect memory leaks within apps like Eclipse MAT. Sadly I'm not a developer so I would rather prefer just a list of apps to uninstall and not the exact cause of memory leak within a specific app.

I'm writing a widget. Currently, I'm have a simple ImageView, and calling RemoteViews.setImageViewBitmap(). I'm using a service to do the updates.
I thought it might be a good idea to reuse an existing RemoteViews instance, so I'm only querying it the first time around, and subsequently simply call setImageViewBitmap() with the new image.
This works well initially, but after some time I first start getting "!!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!" errors, and later, an OutOfMemory exception.
Simply creating a new RemoveViews instance every time works flawlessy on the other hand. I'm just curios why that would be, any ideas?

I am currently running Evil Eris 3.0 and over clocked with setcpu and it seems to run pretty good. Recently, I have seen messages about Froyo and now an updated Evil Eris 4.0. Can anyone give me a quick run down on the advantages / disadvantages of each ROM? My primary needs are to have the device respond to phone calls quickly and to be able to tether to my laptop when WIFI is not available. However, I do like all the other cool features like sense.

From what I understand, these are two very popular roms for n00bs to start with.
