As I said, that's normal
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lemillion:
I hope So.. but this ROM is awesome and features also cool :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
No offense taken.

Its just for a quite a long time now it was known to just about everyone that smartphones are very battery hungry and it is good to get a full day from one charge.

And yet we see still such post about battery. Kind of pisses me off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jna9000:
Well in the case of osasih we have 85% at 05:25 and 82% at 05:59 which makes 3% in 34 minutes. That equals to 5.3% per hour, so that the phone should last almost 20 hours - that's fine.

However, in my case I see a drain of almost 9% per hour which is far too much IMHO. I logged yesterday when I left work charging until 65%. Whith 9% per hour it should have lasted until midnight, but suddenly it dropped from 33% to 2% in only one hour!

You cpould see this effect in the attached graphic
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lemillion:
Yes right saying But some how it drain so much like if i listen songs yesterday i was listning songs and i fall sleep the battery was full and wen i wakeup the battery all most finish..and even wen i clos the mobile put the batter out and reopen it again so i see batter is 10% befor closing the mobile it was 53%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theduckking:
I'm going to assume that you read my post on the first site^^

try rebooting the phone and look whether the problem persists. I know it sounds stupid but I think there's a bug somewhere that eats battery after flashing or randomly after boots. I only experienced signs of it after flashing since I don't really shut down my phone on any other occasions
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lemillion:
OK i will try to flash again and see how it takes but rather flashing will break the mobile isn't? lets try wth darky final rom 9.4
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon_x:
Over the last few weeks I've been trying out the different custom ROMs to see if there's really any performance benefits... My conclusion is that there isn't. For the most part.

My baseline for comparison is stock (Bell) JL2 2.2 + speedmod 13C. I've tried all the JS5/7/8 ROMs I can find (Doc, Darky, Serendipity, even the deodexed JS8 via Odin from the armani thread). No matter what rom, I always switch to speedmod 13C and I always restore all my user apps with Titanium and set my widgets/homescreen config exactly the same. I always use the JL2 modem.

In every case, stock 2.2 has consistently shown smoother animation - most noticeable in the notification drawer dropdown, but also in list scrolling. I also notice more frequent "lag" when switching between the app drawer and home screens with the custom ROMs.

App start times are virtually the same. Battery life is too close to call. GPS is more or less the same - 5-10M fix in < 30 seconds, but the accuracy is sometimes off by ~50M no matter what ROM. The only area where I find there is an improvement in the 2.2.1 ROMs is the browser - which obviously due to the new rendering is smoother when scrolling desktop web sites.

At the end of the day, the custom ROMs seem overall slower then stock 2.2 + hardcore. The only advantage I really see is the theme options and the browser. Just curious if anyone else has come to the same conclusion...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
Hi dude

According to me the Galaxy S custom ROMs are quite a bit faster in general performance and also in benchmarks

With Darky's 9.3 Extreme Edition i get above 1700 on quadrant with all lagfixes enabled, voodoo kernel, XWJS5 firmware and XXJPY modem

Wish we could measure and compare the smoothness of ROMs somehow

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Quadrant is useless in measuring performance .

But 2.2.1 was much improved and the dependant upon what custom rom and settings you use it might be a bit or a lot better .

Personally i would have no problem using stock 2.2.1

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P4ndur:
For me the miui Rom is the fastest I run on my Sgs, even it is just a beta.

Ok it is a 2.3 Rom based on the cm7, so I don't know if this counts for u.

Note: this is a personal feeling of the speed of the miui.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbraaker:
in my experience the 2.2.1 roms are a lot faster. in general you cannot compare a 2.2 rom with ext 4 (probably even nj) and speedmod kernel with a stock 2.2.1 rom.

the 2.2.1 rom may be a bit slower in your quandrant benchmarks but it is not noticeably slower with stock kernel in daily use and has twice the battery life. on custom kernels do not use any "lagfixes" with 2.2.1 roms, theres no benefit, i even dare to say they tend to make things worse (performance and of course battery life).

Js8, hardcore's kernel without any applied lagfix is the way to go for me. erm sry thats wrong, its miui now :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
i tend to agree. everytime a new 2.2.1 comes out .. "this is faster and smoother"

well off course it is right after install till things settle with no apps installed it is always faster..

i have not found any benefit from custom 2.2.1 roms or any other rom than the original jpy ( and that they are de-odexed to allow themes, but i prefer stock with minor tweeks (see below))

also using speedmod kernel.. jl2 modem (for usa 850 wcdma) recommended tweeks and do use ext4 and ext4nj as i find it does make installing apps, shortcuts, and gallery and my email program run much faster.

although rfs is pretty good now in 2.2.1

quadrant and other benchmarks are similiar but do vary between runs..

i have customized jpy myself with custom icons in framwork-res

and the modified twlauncher for landscape mode and transparency

and the custom camera that enables the power button

and a wifi config to enable adhoc

etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitro_123:
Totally agree about the quadrant issue. It was given to provide a relative measure.One which usually doesn't work well :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbatman:
using Doc's Rom with 2.2.1 and I can't see how i could benefit from it being faster. It's great, much better than the 2.1 I had previously.

Why would 2.2.1 stock be much different in peformance to a 2.2.1 ROM?
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
just thought i throw it out there. The app store via Amazon.com is official.
[Nook Color General] goblinpunk:
I like to use Battery Indicator so I don't need to have the 2nd battery icon in the title bar but could not find any way to disable it. Is this in the settings somewhere that I am just not seeing?

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] danger-rat:
I believe it is the Super Circle Mod, which uses a modified framework-res.apk. You may be able to pull the standard CM framework-res.apk from the CM ROM, and replace it. The CM battery has an option to disable it...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jrharvey:
Has anyone been able to port these to a Vibrant ROM?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dan_Brutal:
If your talking about the aosp contacts app, yes. It does work. It is buggy though. I have been testing the app for stability, as im going to include it in my rom when I feel its stable enough for every day use.

sent from malice 2.0
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jrharvey:
Thanks for the reply. Yes I was talking about the AOSP. I noticed its not as simple as throwing it in with abd so I figured some modifications would have to be made to either the apk or framework. I just kept getting force closes.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Dan_Brutal:
The aosp contacts would need to be ported in order for it to work. Can't just throw any aosp app in.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Janis:
There's always CyanogenMod. That's pretty much what they're about, plus thier own very nice tweaks,

For Vibrant, however, the GPS isn't working yet, and I hear the camera's a bit off, but useable. I need my GPS, not daily but close, so I'm holding off.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jrharvey:
I was using and VERY MUCH enjoying CM7 but I just could not use it for more than a week without GPS and with the bad battery life. Also your right, the cameras pics are fuzzy.

Hey guys!

How can i make screenshots with my U20i device with Android 2.3? I have the CM7 V5 mod version
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pixies2:
Try the application "shootme", and if it doesn't work (in X10 mini with official SE Android 2.1 it doesn't), try "dropcap2".

[Xoom General] Baconstrip:
Ugh. I can't post an outside link because I'm too noob. There's a story if you go to google news, then search for Xoom, from tablet planet about production ending in June. Can anyone grab the link and post it for me? Thanks :)

If this is true, it kind of makes me maybe want to reconsider picking one up. It seems unlikely... but it also makes me worry about future Xoom support! Though, even if they do stop supporting the Xoom, at least this community will always allow me to have the latest and greatest software :)
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110321PD230.html

Seems like if they've already made 1/2 million of them, and lets say 400,000 of those are still unsold, then it would make sense to taper off production and let the existing stock sell. Not everyone has to stick to an apple-like year after year release schedule, they could come out with a slightly or even completely revamped version this summer.

Android tablets are not going anywhere, and we already have Xooms, they aren't going to take them away.

They probably stopped producing the OG Droid a year ago, but they still update it.
[Xoom General] gogol:
Here it is:

http://tablets-planet.com/2011/03/22/motorola-to-slowly-bring-xoom-tablet-production-to-end-in-june/

Would you believe Motorola would be stopping production of their new Motorola XOOM tablet as soon as June? Well that’s the exact scenario being painted by a new report published by Digitimes. The new report cites unnamed, as per usual for Digitimes, sources that are closely involved in the upstream supply chain for the XOOM Android 3.0 tablet.

The source claims that Motorola will be slowly reducing supply orders for the XOOM until they eventually end production in June of this year. That’s right if this source is to be believed Motorola would have been in production for just about 4 months, short lifespan isn’t that?

At their current rate Motorola is expected to have produced between 400,000 and 500,000 XOOM tablets for this month and in the month previous (launch month) Motorola had an estimated 70,000 and 80,000 units produced. At this time Digitimes is reporting industry speculators believe Motorola will reach 3 to 5 million units shipped for the XOOM for the year of 2011.

This new report shouldn’t affect you too much if you are an Android 3.0 fan though. Other makers like Samsung (Galaxy Tab 10.1) and ASUS (Transformer) have some very compelling 10.1″ devices in the pipeline for this year that could very easily fill any void that an absent XOOM could leave. [Via]
[Xoom General] Baconstrip:
Good point bauxite, I didn't necessarily put that together before I posted. If there's a few million produced they should still have a ton to sell.
[Xoom General] Squeak22:
Why does everyone have to make a separate post?

Motorola already put out a press release that this report is bogus.
[Xoom General] drowens:
I wouldn't freak out to much, the same thing happened to the Nexus one and it is still going strong in the forums.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
BGR just updated their article with a response from Motorola -

"UPDATE: Motorola just gave us a statement on the DigiTimes report, letting us know that its report isn’t accurate and Motorola will continue to manufacture the Motorola XOOM."

Never mind.. Someone already posted the correction/update.
[Xoom General] qipengart:
I can't wait to get the Xoom soon. So noooooooooooooooooo to that end of production!

Hey could we have more useless unconfirmed rumor threads please?
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Don't be afraid to read the thread...
[Xoom General] Baconstrip:
Look, I posted this rumor prior to seeing it posted anywhere else. Chill out :) I don't think its irrelevant to post xoom info that I found on Google news ;)

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-and-new-galaxy-tab-10-1-thinner-than-the/

I think the original has been left behind, no mention of updates for it ?

Wonder if the new 3G models will have phone thats the one thing about the current tab that sets it apart.
[Galaxy Tab General] Tinderbox (UK):
The current 7" fits in my coat pocket perfect, so 8.9" and 10.1" are not of interest to me.
[Galaxy Tab General] Jyveafk:
If nothing else, hopefully they'll release later 7" Tabs that are thinner.

Then again, if there was an extended battery option for these larger tabs to get a bigger back case but another 6 hours, I'd probably be fine with the extra size/weight too.

All about choice, and we're certainly getting it.

(but yeah, I totally prefer the existing size, the best Tablet to have is the one with you, and I can't imaging lugging a 10" tablet around with me as easily as the 7" models)
[Galaxy Tab General] jackie_jagger:
They both interest me and good potential upgrades over my current tab !! I'd pick it up without any hesitation - although I'd prefer a stock honeycomb UI over the TouchWiz crap :\
[Galaxy Tab General] noobporter:
I wished they make another 7", although google doesn't like honeycomb running on anything smaller than an 8" screen. Best part about my tab is putting it in my back pocket.
[Galaxy Tab General] codewisp:
Google doesn't want that?

HTC's Evo View 4G is getting Honeycomb, and it's a 7" with specs similar to the HTC Flyer.
[Galaxy Tab General] waltah!:
I waited to see what they had to announce today......then I went out and got my new Tab. The others don't fit in pocket and wifi only prices are ok, but I want 3G for on the go.
[Galaxy Tab General] DDReaper:
+1, the acer iconia A100/A101 and i think the MeMo from Asus are both running honneycomb aswell.
[Galaxy Tab General] EDV11:
After they have left behind the original model so early (I bought mine only 2-3 months ago!!!), I won't ever look again at any Samsung tablet, so I don't care too much what they showed yesterday.

Is not the fact that we won't have Honeycomb (officialy, I'm quite sure that the developers will get it fully working, because the device is totally capable). Is the fact that it seems that they forgot they ever had an original Galaxy Tab. They don't even say that support will be discontinued, although we all know it.

At least Apple says "ok guys, you had support for your 3G for two years, is time to move up if you want further upgrades". Samsung throws a device to the market and then they change their mind and say "to hell with early adopters".

I will keep my original Tab until I feel I need a change (because it's working fine and it does what I need). But when the need for a new device comes, I will surely look out of Samsung catalogue, no matter what they offer. Let it be Xoom2 or iPad3 or whatever, but they will not "cheat" me again.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
How do you *know* they've left the original Tab behind?

Last rumour I heard Samsung said that we would get an update to at least Gingerbread.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] albireox:
Bought it one week ago knowing that the future support will be uncertain. But, as I've read these days, the Gingerbread seems to be a sure bet for the first Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] EDV11:
Someone from Samsung was asked about this in MWC in Barcelona. This is the translation

As we all have seen, some developers made it to run already, so the resolution is not an issue.
[Galaxy Tab General] Sarsippius:
The new tabs look really nice to me although I'm happy with the Gtab & don't need anything bigger. Knowing Samsung the hardware like the screen will be very nice & we have XDA for the software side. Not sure why they insist on touchwiz although it doesn't look too bad as far as skins go. Would be a shame if using an alternative launcher lost the cool new features of honeycomb like the status menu & new notification bar.

Overall I think we'll soon have a clear leader in the tab market that's android based. Apple really need something special with iOS 5 to compete.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
They look....Interesting.

[Galaxy Tab General] alphard_alshua:
Tab 7" won't be abandoned, because it's at the limit of being mobile, but also not too small like phones. I usually bring my tab when I'm jogging, see how far I already run and then while drinking coffee, using it for browsing or swyping. It is the perfect size. I can't imagine bringing 9 or 10 while I'm jogging or anything else outside office or house without attracting too much attention and it fits my back pocket or my suite just fine! For phone or messaging I have my bb 9780 for massive and fast texting without worrying it's gonna break soon as I use it pretty rough.

I can imagine tab 7"with dual core, amoled display for 30% more battery life, 4g, thinner design, more lightweight, matured android os, more apps, better camera, more battery life, it would be perfect!

if that not going to happen, I'm jumping to playbook. :D

Hi XDA members,

First of all, I know this has been asked pretty much before, but all those topics were pretty old and dead. That's why I started this thread, to get more up-to-date information.

Now my question, is there a app which can overclock the Xperia X1 without problems? No crashes and stuff like that.

Thanks for reading!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackersdoom13:
plz search before asking.

I don't think there exists a overclocking app that is 100% work. Just look if an overclocking app is perfect then we could run our Xperia x1 cpu's at like 1.3 GHz blah blah blah blah blah blah. just search around and hopefully u'll find one that doesn't brick your device. goood luck ocing
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
All,

I've read so many threads about the different displays on the tablets currently out there. Most of them, of course, deal with the iPad's IPS vs regular TN screens (e.g. here or here or here ) or the Samsung tablets (e.g. here or here or here).

Many complain about the viewing angles of the regular TN display on the Xoom but others actually requested a privacy screen. So I was wondering how much emphasis the regular user puts on privacy vs having wider viewing angles. Sometimes I personally wish that the colors would be a bit more intense and accurate when the tablet is flat on the table for example but on the other hand I don't always need everyone around me to see what I'm doing (especially during meetings when I'm distracted with the Xoom)...

What's YOUR opinion?
[Xoom General] e.mote:
A tablet is a more social device than a smartphone, ie there'll be more instances of multi-user viewing and interacting. The wider viewing angle is a necessity in these cases.

Another use-case where viewing angle matters is for games and other apps (aug-reality) where the tab is manipulated into various degree of inclines. More games/apps will make use of the tab's built-in accel/gyro. Ironically, this would argue against the use-case of a 3-D screen, as this latter has a very narrow viewing sweet spot.

For viewing privacy when in traveling situations, the tablet would be in a traveling case, with a flap that can be used as a blind.

[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
I found a minor scratch in my screen today. most likely from having it in my pocket with keys, though I've been careful to not do that.

I've had touchscreen phones for 3 years now and I've never had a scratch on any of my screens (cases, yes)... what gives?!

I'm going to go get a screen protector, but what's different with this phone? I've kept my other phones (BB Storm and OG Moto Droid) in my pockets with keys in the past and never had an issue.
[Thunderbolt General] javawolfpack:
Check out Zagg's Invisible shield. I've had it on every screen of my phones since my first touch screen phone. I love the material have it on all my phones, my iPad, and my laptop.
[Thunderbolt General] adamhlj:
Yes, zagg is pretty swell, tho after awhile it can get a little bit of dust accumulation around the edges. Its also nice because even if you have a scratch on your screen, the material does a pretty good job of hiding the scratch.
[Thunderbolt General] jacobk:
that sucks! coming from a droid1 with gorilla glass i was hoping that even though this doesnt have the market name glass that it would be as tough :/
[Thunderbolt General] gsxr1kmatt:
yea, it's not :(
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
sadly gorrila glass isnt scratch proof either :(
[Thunderbolt General] javawolfpack:
I agree the dust accumulation to eventual need to replace the shield is kinda upsetting, but otherwise it's amazing stuff. Pretty much impossible to scratch and keeps your device looking new even if you do need to periodically replace the shield due to the dust issue, which is really due to either not letting it adhere correctly or the fact that their fabrication tolerances aren't as high as they need to be. I've had a few not fit exactly; however, in that case they replaced the shield for me at no extra cost sending me out a new one.

And yeah Gorilla Glass isn't impossible to scratch, just significantly more resistant than others.
[Nexus S General] dccxviii:
I was just wondering, now that i've unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Nexus S, can I still get OTA updates from Google?

I'm still running the original bootloader and rom (does that make any difference?).

[Nexus S General] NeoA:
rooting by itself does not inhibit OTA, you would still get it but however, try not to disturb system relevant folders such as /system/app or kernel/boot.img files since these are crc checked during the update.
