un-root

do factory re-set

done. samsung dont care if you removed att-bloat. doubt they'd even check. you know how many phones get returned? and how little the replacement guts cost? and how each phone is not worth more than 15 minutes of human attention?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
SU is in the app list, as in the App Drawer? You mean SuperUser if that's what you're talking about. SuperUser is the GUI interface to the actual su binary.

The su binary (which should be located in /system/bin on the phone) is the actual file that grants root access rights. Can you confirm that that file has actually been installed and what its permissions are?

Will the SuperUser app let you download/update su? Also, you should be able to install it from CWM under the extras menu if I recall correctly.

My phone's not handy to confirm above, I'm doing by memory, which isn't so great these days, but hopefully this will give you some ideas of what's wrong.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] is95kiko:
Hello

I'm *quite* frustrated, I bought AT&T branded Atrix but I did not realize it was so restricted (cannot select network type GPRS/EDGE/3G, as non AT&T customer I cannot wifi-tether with built-in software, I have always roaming SIM but I cannot enable roaming etc).

I have RDS lite and 4.1.26 and 4.1.57 SPF files and can change between versions.

But I wonder, can I at some point in the future install some other SPF file (non AT&T) to the Atrix?

For example, if unlocked carrier free Atrix is released and SPF for that is available, can I install that to the AT&T Atrix or is the bootloader/other components tied only to AT&T version?
[Thunderbolt General] GoldenCyn:
Maybe because I have been using a Droid X and fiddling with my Daughters Droid OG for a year, I was used to losing the iPhone functionality of the earbuds button to double click to skip tracks when using a media player.

I was genuinely surprised to find out no less than to ten minutes ago that the Thunderbolt allows the same functionality! This is exciting to me at least since now I can keep my phone in my pocket and till skip tracks during my work commute.
[Thunderbolt General] squeeze:
Which earbuds are you using? The white iPhone 4 buds?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
I really did not like the gray background on the music widget so I made a transparent version that looks real good on the Xoom.

To apply the apk you will need adb and root running.

adb remount

adb push Music2.apk /system/app/Music2.apk
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
What exactly did you edit to get it to do that? I'd like to play around with it a little bit.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
Used Photoshop to edit the images. If you extract the files from the .apk using winrar or something similar you can find the background files in res/drawable-mdpi. There are 4 files in there that all start with bg_panel and are 9.png's.

Once I had the files edited the way I wanted, I just dragged and dropped them into the .apk using winrar.

Hope that helps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dadoc04:
great job on this
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PaulG1488:
why do you use advanced task killer?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ateld:
Works great, thanks.

Note to anyone trying to be lazy like me: You must use the ADB method he instructed how to use, simply trying to install the .apk doesn't work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
I use ATK more out of habit than anything else. I like to know what is running and kill what is not needed to reduce battery usage. Have used this since the G1 days :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Thank you! I knew how to edit them, I just couldn't track down the files.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
There is also a preview file that shows up when you are adding widgets to the screen. I don't recall which folder it is in but the name of the png is obvious.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] drziddo:
Please HELP

Ive tried to install this mod, but music app is now lost.

Anyone can help me on this one?

Thanks in advance!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
For simplicity put the music2.apk file in the same directory as adb. Then attempt to push the file again.

A reboot may also fix this.

If all else fails, download the official dump from the dev section and push the original music2.apk back to your device.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] alias_neo:
I havnt got a XOOM yet so I can only use the emulator but maybe I could make one with the blue "holographic" outline if anyone is interested. Just let me know.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] drziddo:
Downloaded the dump, pushed the apk, not working.

Any ideas?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] B Dizzle:
If I had to guess there is a permission issue if the music2.apk is actually in the /system/app folder. Check permissions on the apk. Check the owner of the file. Try replacing the file with another using Root Explorer.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Ive attempted a few kernels and some seem to have the same issue - incoming SMS does not get received.. I have to revert back to a previous image in CWM for it to work again.

Anyone know what could be causing this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mengsuan:
Are you having high battery drain with XXJVK firmware, or any other 2.2.1 firmware?

Does your Battery Use shows high CPU usage time on Android OS?

Then, check if you ever had Software Updates logged in! I noticed high battery usage once I logged in for OTA updates. Possibly, the device is retrying the connection to update server (which will always return timeout). You can see the Software Update service running all the time once you logged in.

If you have logged in Software Updates, go Settings->Applications->Manage Application->All->Software Update->Clear Data

Once you have logged out from Software Updates, the service disappears and personally, battery life doubled.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
Thanks, i will try it!

It really could be the last chance to solve my idle-drain-prob.

i'll report back.

//edit: cleared data, service automatically stopped. i'll report back tomorrow if it solves my drain-thing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] IINexusII:
Yup i had it running too since boot.. cleared data and will report back
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
Let's hope this is the answer. I've just took the drastic measure of doing a hard reset and now battery drain is pretty much zero and phone is idle when screen is off. I'll keep installing and enabling things and see what takes more battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] whatsek:
Very interesting, I did check if there were any updates, and I suffered from random battery drain. At first I suspected Google Maps/Navigation, but you could be right. I started Maps, and Navigation, killed en cleared OTA, and I am monitoring the battery.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] someguy1015:
I have found that when i use the built in task manager to "clear memory" as soon as i have done that the battery drains alot faster and my android OS in battery stats goes through the roof (from 5% to something like 14%). It has been running fine since yesterday and i cleared memory only to find my battery went very quickly from 28% to 9%. I rebooted the device and all is well, i wont be using that option anymore :)

After installing jvk full I installed jve modem, rooted and did battery stats wipe and battery issues went away.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
i lost 25% over night in airplane mode :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] gradash:
after clearing dalvik cache & battery recalibration using battery calibrator from market i have 5-7% drain per night, and 30-40% per day... last battery time was 2d 19h 14m, with some calls, some games, some wi-fi and some hsdpa & with weather widget update every hour.

info

i9000 + JVK (repartition 512, with bootloader) + CF Root

P.S before clearing dalvik cache & battery recalibration with same use i have maximum battery life - 23h
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dhiru1602:
Clear the data for "Samsung Account".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostfree:
There's something very wrong with your phone, either your battery's shot or there's a rogue program draining it, you shouldn't lose more than 1-2% overnight in airplane mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zalimtayyar:
Same problem here. I hate this device...:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kindaichi24:
Is it just me that think battery life is much better than on froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivan1975:
I have no battery drain since i upgraded to jvk.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ceriko:
I'm seeing huge battery drain like others, sometimes more that 50% in a few hours doing absolutely nothing, wifi & 3G off and OS takes up to 60% of the battery usage. I never activated Automatice Updates since I flashed JVK. I am now on Darky's v10RC3. Only a few people are having such problems, most users say they are experiencing their best battery life ever.

I noticed that this drain

always

happened to me after I used Maps / Navigation. So I suspect them to create problems, maybe kicking off Software Update in a bad way. And rebooting stops the drain (it once took as long as a full flash for my phone to reboot...?).

So I have bought for $1 this nice app called Autostarts that shows which apps autostart, what triggers them to start and it is then possible to disable by app / event.

When I tap on Software Update, I can see that it kicks in on these occasions:

- After Startup

- Application installed

- Application removed

- SMS received

- Secret code entered

I disabled everything as well as for Map, so now it's no longer showing in running apps / processes.

Will follow this thread !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
how did you upgrade?

odin? repartition? w/o bootloader? heimdall?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nadram:
Spot on.

My Android OS battery usage is down to 3-5%.

Great find guys, Thanks a lot!

Also, a little suggestion here but I need someone to confirm.

Regarding Google Maps, I was having some trouble getting rid of Hotpot and Rate Places processes as they were constantly running for no reason and restart after I kill them. Another 13% drain. So yesterday I updated to Maps 5.3 and the processes are no longer there even though I've used Maps, Hotpot and Places
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivan1975:
I upgraded with odin, repartition and bootloaders. Since now the battery life is very good, i can see the difference by eyes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mengsuan:
Good that it worked for you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grogdunn:
today the message is changed :) form "connection time out" to "no update available" maybe 2.3 is coming?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mcmac7:
This worked for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Grogdunn:
you get some update?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
Perfect example

Just look at this perfect example of what is happening to many people. Phone with everything off, resting on the table, battery dropping. Then after doing what's explained on this thread, situation changes drastically:

Just look at the second image, maintaining 40 - 41% for several hours. I enabled WiFi twice to see if it has any effect, as proposed on other threads.

I also launched a 3D intensive game. None of them seems to trigger the battery drain.

I'm pretty much convinced that if you even just enter the "software update" section, without logging in in the samsung account, this behaviour starts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedooo:
Please can you attach Maps 5.3 since I don't have it on Market, Thanks... :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scorpeeon:
well, i'm also suffering from battery draining (while it was fine for the first week, suddenly it began to occur randomly, explained in this thread), so i'll definitely try this. there's one thing i don't get about it: as mentioned before, software update tends to starts automatically after certain events. i cleared it's app data so it stopped. but then i installed something and it was active already with used application data. so:

-should i really clear it's app data all the time it starts for some reason? in this case wouldn't it be more simple just to remove it and kill it from everywhere with root privileges? (which leads to another problem: isn't it an important system component necessary for some things to work?)

OR

-is it enough to clear it's app data one time and even if it keeps running in the background it won't consume that much battery as long as you don't visit OTA updates?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
i am still having problems. cleared data, stopped it, then disabled software update with system app remover.

it drained pretty much the same as before. so, i am really having trouble figuring this one out.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJustin:
I think that I've found the source of my battery drain. I read someone on these forums that playing a gpu intensive game keeps the cpu load running very high when the phone should be sleeping.

I downloaded the app "Usage timelines" from the market and saw that my cpu load was around 50% when the phone should have been sleeping (screen turned off) after playing a game. I restarted the phone and things were back to normal..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
the problem for me is that even after restarting, the things remain the same...

i will paste hare ehat i wrote on another topic:

up till now i tried:

fresh install of rom - stock gingerbread, stock js8

root with cf-root, without cf-root,

log out of latitude, update maps to v5.3

disable software update, disable the app with system app remover

diffrent modems, diffrent csc,

battery stats removed - auto by cwm, manual delete the file,

"... but the memory remains ..." (Metallica)

so, every time i use gpu intensive apps - mainly dungeon hunter 2 - the battery keeps draining incredibly fast even after ending the game. it has the same slope as if i was still playing the game! and a restart does not solve the problem. for example, yesterday evening i did play it, restarted the phone 2 times, left it to charge over night, now, in the morning, the consumption is... 22% in about 2 hrs and a half. - android os is the biggest consumer

and, look at my cpu usage:

this is with no app running in the backgground, only when screen is off! when it is on, you can see the cpu usage at the end of the line.... why? why? why?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Xephonic:
I was wondering if anybody here knows or can point me in the right direction for finding a way to scan an android device for residual application data? I understand already how the security and application permissions for android are set up. So, is a scan for this kind of information on an android device even possible?

Also, I'd like to clarify this question is for security assessment reasons and NOT asked with any malicious intentions. I've been wandering around the xda forums for awhile and I figured this would be the best place to ask. You guys seem to know more about these things than the rest of the internet :)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] severusx:
Not too sure about that, I didn't use the stock android launcher for long enough to try that. Like I said, I recommend Launcher Pro. You can also try ADW or Zeam. Although Zeam is not longer being worked on.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
x2 on Launcher Pro. The only reason why I don't add that by default is that I think it should be the user's option. Some like LP, some like ADW. So, I add a stock Goggle Launcher just you have a basic Launcher until you replace it. :)

Basically the biggest benefit to rooting your phone enables you to switch the operating system/enviornment of your phone, basically you can get stock android, HTC sense with extra features, you can remove all that Verizon crapware from your Inc, and those are just a few of the benefits.

I also decided to buy the phone, but after finding that the price of the sensation is going to be $500, it doesnt make sense to me to pay more than $500 on the incredible. At that price, i would rather just get the sensation.. i dont see the point here

All prices on ebay from a trustworthy sellers are atleast $530. Also on Handtec.UK the price is above $550 and Clove is the same. As i live in the middle east, i need a place that ships worldwide and accepts paypal

Should i just wait for the sensation to come out and maybe the price will drop?

Who said the price of the sensation is $500, are you kidding me, it's 599 pounds in the UK, that's about nearly a grand in dollars, I aint saying its gonna be a grand here, but its not gonna be selling for $500. I highly doubt you gonna see the sensation for $500 here in the US, show me the proof!
