ANGRY BIRDS RIO WORKS FINE ON FRX07
I've pulled this discussion from another thread. Not a duplicate, just to further discuss without getting too off track in someone elses thread. This is mine, you can post anything you want here without getting crabbed at. If it's too bad, or I don't know... I'll probably just not respond :>)) (or life's got me way too busy :>))
~~~~~~ This may be simple common sense to many of us, but important to understand if you don't. ~~~~~~~~~~~
If your TP2 is slow, do this. Don't over think it... just do it.
- OC (Overclock): Put this in your startup.txt anywhere between the "" (ensure a space between any words, not quotes) acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=716800 then reboot, try again.. probably needs the boost in speed..
- DL Advanced Task Killer Froyo from market & kill all running apps before going into the game/application.
- Set your apps not to auto update in settings, so a bunch of other tasks & network access isn't going on at the same time your trying to play... settings, Accounts & sync, background data (UNCHECK IT).
- On the Windows side before going into Android, you should run "Field Trial" and check your reception is. Walk around & try to get in the -50 to -60dbm range before going into Android. Turning your TP2 even 180 degrees in the exact same location can bring the signal from -60 to -90 in a hurry, so ensure your in a good reception area. (-70's is OK most of the time also)

2nd i dont open any other application after rebooting other than angry birds. so tat no background application wud b running..
i tried feild test and it shows my network -99dbm (May be i m using GSM sim card)
i dont think there might be any restriction cuz angry bird works great on SGS(samsung galaxy)..

Point by point.
First, this isn't just about Angry Birds... it's about performance increase with the OS or any app.
i dont open any other application after rebooting other than angry birds. so tat no background application wud b running..
>> Dead wrong. DL the Advanced Task Killer for Froyo, open it. You'll see 10-20 running applications... everything from news & weather to email, maps, etc.. KILL ALL BEFORE ENTERING SLOW APPLICATION
i tried feild test and it shows my network -99dbm (May be i m using GSM sim card)
>> -99 is absolutely HORRIBLE. you could start losing calls much beyond that :>)) I've written tons on signal strength. Try a different room, I've moved my home office, why? Difference between 2 rooms on the same floor was 20dbm, in one windows turned a certain way, I can go from -52 to -70 just rotating it. Make sure you hold the TP2 on the BOTTOM HALF. The antenna is the black tape under the back cover that runs side to side just above the camera lens & speakers... IT MATTERS. I can't comment on GSM much, but assume signal is signal & if you are at a different location & get low 70's somewhere, then it's acting the same as cdma.
i dont think there might be any restriction cuz angry bird works great on SGS(samsung galaxy)..
Understood, thanks. Someone totally went off on the wrong track on a response to this... You were only using that as you stated... to confirm no "restriction" on the app... got it
Thanks for the comments cutecool, I'm not trying to be harsh, but you didn't do as I suggested (DL taskiller & kill apps) so I felt a need to make my point more clear.
...just for the record... i've seen similar responses to Sprint TV, other games, etc.. What's important to one person, may not be to another... Sprint TV & games on my TP2 has saved my a$$ many times with my kids, my fault pushing the kids sometimes... too long of a day, to hot, too long of a trip, etc.. I'm on the edge, they're over it, just needed something to keep the lid from blowing for the last hour... you probably won't know until you've been there.. :>))

Jerryyyyy: you said "My Titanium restore version would not install, so I downloaded a new version from the Marketplace. It would not run whether or not my install OCed."
So... you didn't say if it worked or not.. After you DL'd the new version, did it work?
Unless " this pig does not fly on this build.
" was your way of saying, it still didn't work? :>)) I'm guessing then, no matter what you tried, you couldn't get ANY of the Angry Bird DLs to run?
Hmmm, I'll go try right now..
OK here's what I found: ANGRY BIRDS RIO WORKS GREAT ON FRX07 BUILD.
