I started my journey in the Android world few days back. Previously I used Nokia 5800. Hearing so many good things regarding Android, I planned to buy an Android phone and at last bought HTC Desire.
My Desire in brief -
Screen: S-LCD (may be)
Model: A8181
Android version: 2.2
Baseband version: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Build Number: 2.12.110.4 ...
Made in Taiwan
#1 I observed that some applications (Android System Information, Elixir etc) shows Max. RAM 415MB in my Desire. But it should be 576MB, shouldn't it?
#2 It doesn't show call waiting on the screen when the called party is in another call having call waiting feature activated.
#3. I didn't find any indicator of showing a diverted call.
Could anybody please make clear the above issues?
I believe that is because they did not include the RAM used by system.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Is there any solution of point 2 and 3?
Hi, I have the following model :
Device: SGH-T999V
Region: VTR (Videotron)
Version: T999VVLALE6
OS: Android (4.0.4)
Release Date: 28.05.2012
Build Date: 27-05-2012
Changelist: CL633965
and i have issues where multi touch crashes some games. Worms, Street Fighter 4 and Eternal Legacy HD are all examples where after using multi touch functions, the controls will stop responding and the games will crash. I read that installing CM9 would fix such issues, but i dont really want to change ROMs only for that, as i am quite happy with Touch UI and the phone in general.
Is there a known fix for the issue? I have searched the forum high and low to no avail.
Thanks.

If you are on a stock rom may be you'll feel that the brightness is bit low. But on custom rom the same is not so.
If you have a matte screen protection you may experience the low brightness but not otherwise.

I have this phone from my brother, he used it about 1 year. It's my first Android phone.
All i know is, the phone have root / kernel AK 225 SKL /
How do i find if the rom is stock or modified ?
Thank you
LE : i read this, on xda forum :
" The screen seems to be limited in brightness from the factory, as a matter of settings. Using AOKP Rom and increasing the color multipliers makes the screen much, much brighter, but i've read speculation that it could cause the screen to burn-in images much faster, which logically speaking, seems to make sense. Maybe it's limited by Samsung for that reason. This particular panel seems slightly more prone to image retention than the one on my Droid Charge, granted it isn't the same as burn-in, but maybe an indicator of inclination toward it "
Should i try, maybe, AOKP Rom ?

Yes. but make sure that you know what you are doing. Follow the instructions of rooting, flashing custom recovery, so that you don't get stuck anywhere.

I wont make any step before i'm 100 % sure of what i'm doing
So, do you think that AOKP Rom will increase the brightness, like the guy said ?
What's the difference between Rom and kernel ? How do i find out which Rom i have now ?

Turn off the phone:
Press Volume up + Volume down simultaneously. While you hold both press the power button.
The screen will show the details where you may check whether the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
For checking which ROM you are on go to settings>About phone
Hit thanks if I helped.

Ok.
So, you think it's worth to try AOKP Rom, to increase the brightness ?

nope. Download Trickster Mod from the Play store and play around with the screen colors. I think Anarkia kernel uses the dark, bluish morfic settings by default

Hi, due to various strange issues, I decided to hit the upgrade button. After two major upgrades, my Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105 ended up Android version 4.3 , baseband version: N7105ZHEMK3, Kernel 3.0.31-2139143, Build number: JSS15J.N7105ZHUEMK3.
My first impression is that the UI became ugly. The icons seem to be crowded and the used-to-be beautiful blue became ugly blue. I cannot explain but the UI seems to be ugly. Know what is happening? Is it because of the way 4.3 looks?

I've recently been given a tablet and I'm looking for ways to improve its performance.
It's slow, freezes a lot and it's too outdated for most apps, including Galaxy Store. Google Play even crashes and closes itself regularly when I attempt app installations.
I'm a complete novice.
There are a few files around the forum from some time ago, are there any that are still good? Is there a list of downloads that I need, please?
Really appreciate any advice!
