[HTC Aria General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You're welcome.

I'm at 38% battery life as of right now after taking the phone off charge at 11am this morning. That percentage is despite heavy Internet usage and auto sync every hour. In addition, 90% of the time WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS are off.

I know I can improve battery life further if I simply shut off auto sync, but I don't want to.
[HTC Aria General] vesperwillow:
Any functionality differences between the FR8 kernel and the 004b kernel?

Also, I might try this in a few but is it possible to simply flash the kernel in place on top of a pre-existing setup without having to wipe the phone? Always time consuming for me to setup all of my accounts after each complete wipe, and to re-do my home screen.

Something I've noticed the past few days about the annoying clock icon, it seems to do it more when I'm home. I know that sounds odd. Also, later in the afternoon, the battery begins draining faster than normal. Almost as if some connection is going full speed, but I have nothing running

The clock icon is so annoying I'd love to know why it appears/disappears for no reason, even with the alarm disabled it keeps doing it.
[HTC Aria General] Ken1939:
Vesperwillow, I cleared the cache and Davlik cache, but did not clear any data, so lost nothing. Result has been much better battery life, so far, and loss of most ability to wake with the button. Am not now having the errors and reloading I experienced with vanilla FR008. Recommend try this.
[HTC Aria General] vesperwillow:
I'm about 3 hours late for bed and tried a quick search.. found 003b, can't find 004b. Can you provide a link to the thread? Much appreciated.. passing out now :)

[HTC Aria General] vesperwillow:
Thankies! Will look at it tonight or tomorrow :)
[HTC Aria General] vesperwillow:
Thanks again for linking 004b. I flashed it the next day and have been trying it out since.

It seems to have much better "idle" battery management, meaning just sitting doing nothing it uses much less of the battery. If I let it sit and don't do anything with it all day, I can come home with about 75+ left on the battery versus the 50% I'd usually have.

Light usage (a few texts here and there, no data/calls) also seems to have somewhat improved battery usage. By the end of the day with just some texting, I again have more than previous.

However, once I begin using data or making a call, the battery drops even faster than the FR0008 kernel. Also once it gets into the 30% range it seems to begin trickling off percent by percent. I actually sat a few minutes lastnight when I got home and watched it drop every other minute or so.. 29% .... 28%.... 27%.. with nothing running on the phone.

The original rom with FR0008 would do that, but only once it got into the teens. Either way I don't understand why it starts trickling off like that, never used to with the 2.1 rom.

Only other thing I could add is that the battery usage hardly falls when playing mp3's at 2/3 volume, which I find interesting because prior to this upgrade the battery would just piss out while playing mp3's and I'd often have to have it plugged in.

Would be great if there was a way to see why this is occuring. Again, nothing was running in any of these instances, no data applications, updates or anything.
[HTC Aria General] supetawesomedude:
Now that you mention it, it happens to me too!
[HTC Aria General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Time to hold HTC's toes to the fire then. :D

Seriously, the hoxnet kernel IS the stock kernel. The only change Gene Poole made to it was to change the frequency table so SetCPU would work. But if you're concerned, flash the HK kernel in the Liberated FR008 thread. That is an untouched kernel.

I got the same problem and I've tried this app to remove the carrier name before but failed.

The developer stated "This will probably not work on the evo with stock rom and will not work with any rom that only shows what network you're connected to. This app only changes the carrier name wich is taken from your sim card.", this may be the reason why I was failing to remove the name with the app.

This is a new concept that we are experimenting with, It is both a Live Wallpaper and a Launcher.

You could have icon anywhere on your screen and when click it will open the application of your choice, It could otherwise be a beautiful live wallpaper

You could customize everything, including making one from your own pictures

Comments and suggestion are greatly welcome

A really good concept! But it needs to smoother and less movement on the screen. It's a bit to much. Buy still, good idea, will keep installed for futher updates!

I was wondering if I flashed a different radio would this help with the issues I'm having with 4g drop offs on my Evo 4g?

Currently I'm running the 2.15.00.09.01 radio on my Evo 4g

I'm a newbie to CM7 RC2 so go easy on me lol anybody with any advice please post....Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrapkgb:
Well I know that the radios and AOSP don't matter like it does on a sense rom, but I am not sure about the wimax radio. It wouldn't hurt though if you did update everything. Calkulin has a thread in the dev section with the all in one combo. Give it a shot and see if it helps. It may not though since CM7 and wimax are still in the early stages.

and dont be afraid to chime in with advice instead of being a **** and pointing out flawes!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfusejc:
Point taken.

If you're downloading a zip file through Safari, which I'll assume you are considering what you're going through, the file is automatically unzipped for you and the files in it are what remains in the Downloads folder, while the .zip is moved to the trash. This would render you unable to flash it using any kind of Recovery.

Simply use a different (and infinitely better) browser, like Chrome.

Otherwise, in Safari -> Preferences -> General, make sure "Open 'safe' files after downloading" is not checked.

You'll be good to go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redsoxfan320:
Thanks for the response, sorry I'm so late. I waited a few hours and then gave up and started to download files straight to my phone. Funny thing about chrome is that i started using it 2 days ago, and man is it great. Read a lot about it on forums for macs.

OFF-TOPIC- just wondering you seem like you know a lot about the mac, do you know any good websites or forums. I've found a few but not any i got hooked on like xda. Thanks

Hey guys I am trying to figure out what is going on here. I have tried MIUI and CM7 and both have issues with the first boot and a reboot right away. I have figured out the CM7 with the stock kernel works ok but I can't load MIUI with its stock Kernel at all because it boot loops. Why is my phone acting so strange. I have wiped several times and ran both kings and chakins format all trying to get a clean install but its almost like something is stuck? Anybody have any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofslackerz:
Have you updated your radio recently, and did you use the all in one

There were reports of problems after flashing the all in one deal, or I suggest wiping again and reflashing each individual part.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seagrizzly:
I have the newest Radio but not sure about the others. I guess I can just try and flash them over the top of what I have. I know I did a PRL update a day ago in sense so that should be fine. I will try and see about flashing that other stuff.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seagrizzly:
I checked all the stuff in the list, only one that was older was hboot and I bumped that up to the newest version. Didn't help though. I have no clue what is going on and it sucks that I can't even use an ASOP rom because of reboots.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
What root method did you use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
I'll give you a hint:

There's no such thing as "ASOP". There's this thing called AOSP (the Android Open-Source Project) which you might be confusing it for.

As for helping, it would be most useful if you could grab a logcat of the booting of CM7 Nightly 28 after wiping /system, /data, /cache, dalvik-cache, and flashing only Nightly 28 and GApps 20110307.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roy Jovero:
Which version of MIUI were you trying? If you were trying 1.3.5 or 1.3.11, you need to flash 1.3.4 and then the hotfixes. If you tried to flash only the hotfixes, you'll get boot loops.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seagrizzly:
Well it seems more to do with kernel then rom, even in CM7 I get boot loops if I change up the Kernel from the stock one. This is with Savage or Tiamat.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Like the person above me said, or if you're hooked up to a computer, download and install the Android SDK, open your command prompt, navigate to the Android SDK/platform-tools folder, and run the following:

Windows:

adb logcat > %userprofile%\Desktop\logcat.txt

Linux:

./adb logcat > ~\logcat.txt

./adb logcat > ~\Desktop\logcat.txt

Those will put the logcat in a text file on your Desktop (or in Linux, your home folder).

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdinet:
Found a thread where a member had success bluetooth tethering his phone to the viewsonic gtab using tnt lite.

I am using vegan 5.1 and have gotten part way there, but having issues with ifconfig.

The script recommended was:

pand --connect <remote BT device hex address>

ifconfig bnep0 down

dhcpcd bnep0

setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8

I can get "pand" to connect to my blackberry, however when I run "ifconfig bnep0", it returns "no device found".

Does anyone know when devices are present in the vegan build, can someone confirm "bnep0" is present on the tnt build?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I had posted on my success with this (Something I found elsewhere on XDA... Not my own).

Since then, I've had mixed results. I can't seem to make it connect reliably.

I've now using Vegan Gingerbread and Pershoots latest kernel.

Last night I tried the gscript script I posted and got errors. However if I go into terminal emulator and enter the commands manually I can make it connect.

A couple of commands that might help you diagnose your issues from terminal:

pand -l : Lists your connections. Should show bnep0 connected to your phone.

netcfg : I've read that ifconfig is somewhat limited in androids linux version. netcfg will show you more results.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdinet:
running netcfg I see several networking devices, but bnep0 is not one of them. I am have tried TNT, vegantab beta 5.1 and the latest experimental version.

Did you install the driver/modules for bnep0 or have to do any configuration to interface with this device? Because it does not appear to be a stock device in any version of froyo/gingerbread I download.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
No, I did not have to install any modules. This worked for me both under TNTL 4.25, Vegan Ginger, and somewhat under TNTL5.0 (I had the BNEP0 entry, but had issues connecting to my phone).

I suspect bnep0 will not show up until you issue 'pand --connect <Phone ID>'

At that point the bluetooth networking device should show up.

You also need to be running some sort of Bluetooth DUN client on your phone. I've been doing this with my Droid X. I do not know the process for Blackberry's.

on my X, I've used Tethering for Root Users (unreliable for me on bluetooth... but does sometimes work) and PDANET (seems to work fine on bluetooth).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dony71:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonim1:
I stumbled upon this thread through Google, but I'm actually trying to do the same thing on a rooted Nook Color. Before you issue any of the commands, you will need to issue the command su to gain superuser access. The pand command should then work.

I can see on my phone that the Nook Color establishes a Bluetooth connection after the pand command. However, I'm having the same issue as the OP with regard to the ifconfig command.

There is a thread where a person used pppd and rcomm to dial and tether and are using the *99***1# dial requirement (google "tether blackberry 8830 rfcomm0" )

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dony71:
how to bind rfcomm and connect?

any script?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Make sure you are root when doing this? (enter SU at terminal before issuing commands)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
See the script listed a few posts back. I do this with gscript lite (it does need SU permission).

This technique does work for, but its not terribly reliable.

I start my DUN server on my phone (PDANet on my DroidX works best).

I then run the script from gscript.

I usually get the 'device not found' error as quoted above.

I just keep re-running the script and eventually I'll get a 'can't assign requested address'. At this point I am actually connected and can browse through the phone.

My guess is that it takes some amount of time from the first 'pand --connect <>' to actually make the connection. That's why we keep getting the device not found error.

At some point in me running the script over and over, the connection goes live and assigns a DHCP address. The NEXT time I run it, the IP is already assigned, thus the can't assign requested address error.

I think if I (or someone who has more linux experience) scripted a somewhat smarter script that actually waited and/or checked for connection, this process could be improved on.

However, what little bit I use it, I am able to make it work.

FYI I have done this on Vegan 5.1, tnt 4.X series, and now I'm on Vegan Ginger with Pershoot kernel.

Thanks for sharing. I use terminal emulator to type command. So I am not familiar with busybox. From Blackberry.txt file, I guess you may need the other script file to active with BB IP modem. Especially, you may need to add extra initialization command with the appropriate carrier-specific APN setting. For example, you need the following command for AT&T.

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","WAP.CINGULAR"

BTW, I tried this GUI DUN before. It is for SmartQ5 phone, isn't it. I always get pppd dialing fail when I execute the script.

Please advise what phone you have and which version android on your gtab .
