Well we can at least expect original sense considering its an HTC device right? They aren't just gonna throw us into the dark without sense UI?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renzo.olivares:
Of Course

Yup we will get HTC Sense UI with our gingerbread update but what version of sense all depends on HTC and what the HTC Droid Incredible is actually capable off but as we have seen sense 2.0 and 2.1 have been ported to the htc droid incredible but with those sense ports many things are taken out of it by the DEVS to make it fit the required 256mb file size to actually load it on to the INC. We can only hope now.

When I unroot my phone, will I lose all my data?

i.e text messages, call history, game saves
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
Dont you guys mean sense 3.0? IIRC we already have Sense 2.0.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] douger1957:
I think I read that tenatively speaking, Incredibles won't get Sense 3.0...the hardware's supposedly not up to it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericDylan:
I thought sense 2.0 was what the desire z had... if so, we don't have that.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
No matter what, even if you're guaranteed to not lose anything, use Titanium and do a backup of everything in Batch Mode. It's better to be safe than sorry.... Save a copy to your PC of the backup just in case the SD Card decides to take a nose dive.

If you do a RUU Recovery, YES, You'll lose everything. Haven't unrooted as it wasn't necessary as the super smart Devs figured a way to update without unrooting... even kept S-Off
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anticimex:
I use My Backup Root. I thought apps that backup your data only work on rooted phones. That being said, if I back it up the data would be useless until we can root again, correct? There's no other application that will allow me to restore a backup with out having root access?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenHolliday:
Not that I know of as a lot of the data is collected from internal storage.

Key for us is patience, enjoy testing out everything you feel comfortable trying and enjoy the ride. I wouldn't stress the root issue as these Devs are some of the smartest people around it would seem as they keep pulling new tricks outa their bag every day.

When the Nov OTA update came around so many people were stressing going back to factory so they could get it right then and there..... a whole lot of Bloatware really all it was. For those that had patience, we were rewarded with the Devs knowledge as they figured it out again:

http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/

So, we got the update, didn't lose root, and S stayed OFF.... Those who weren't patient had to wait for Unrevoked to figure root out again, this time for two different screens.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4dfl4:
Does anyone use Green power or Juice defender app on thunderbolt, and if so is it really saving battery life and are they working ok .
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dg 3:
I couldn't ever get juice defender to work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidTh3ory:
All those apps... Battery, Task Managers, etc are nothing but a farce. Fundraisers.

IMO :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thechopster:
I believe that both work from my experiences. I have both but only tried Green Power on the TB. I am still determining how well it works for the TB. I used GP with the Incredible and I was quite pleased. I have the paid version and it allows for night profiles which is nice. The difference for me between JD and GP was ease of use- both are very good and very tweakable but GP was about as simple as it gets.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paulb787:
I will have to give that a try which one do u reccomend
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BotsOne:
I've been using juice defender for a while now and it works great. It basically just turns off your data while the screen is off, except for every 15 minutes (or whatever you define) it turns on and checks for push notifications. saves me a lot of battery life. I tried green power but I was having some issues with data not being turned back on after I turned the screen back on. DroidTh3ory - I agree that task killers are unnecessary fundraisers, but these data switching apps have a genuine use and do work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moemoney12:
Try super power. It's the same as juice defender. Works great.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4dfl4:
Thanks everyone for a feedback ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phyrephx:
Thanks for the question
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trevlo:
Me neither. It got an error every time I tried to run it after getting my parameters set up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobk:
i use green power pro and its great.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 66dude:
Green Power did not work well with my TB for some reason. Once I turn the screen on, I lost WiFi and Mobile Network, and could not get it back unless I rebooted the phone. Tried Juice Defender Beta, and it works much, much better. The latest release of JD Beta even fixed whatever TB issues it had, which was why I uninstalled JD Beta in the first place in favor of GP.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holyzombiejesus:
I don't have a thunderbolt, but I love green power. I started off with Juice Defender and found the free version way too limiting. If you want proof that green power works, run juice plotter with it for a day. With juice plotter, you can clearly see 3G being turned on and off at exactly the times you specify and the resulting increase to your battery life.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intangibleDroid:
Anyone having issues with Juice Defender should download the "Juice Defender Beta" version from the market. It worked for me.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyTekInsights:
Currently using JuiceDefender on the ThunderBolt. They finally fix the problem with the ThunderBolt on the last release. Is working VERY good so far today. I'm at 11hrs/22%. I had 3 may be 30mins calls today, two 15mins video calls and normal txt, web browsing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaghetti_monster:
ran both of em, the one that was kinda cool and shut of wifi and data when inactive was nice, other than that they kinda blow. To be honest all you need is a nice all that can find detect the brightness arround you and adjust the screen accordingly, for me it's what is sucking up my batt.

Coming from a BB, I discorved there was a light sensor on the storm in the LED area. In the engineer settings that you could get too by some special combo which some1 made a keygento access it. *Hidden dev section they locked it out w/ a time sensitve code* It measured the light in lux, if the tbolt has something like this it would be nice or have the front faceing cam turn on in the background for the shortest time possible *under a sec* to measure the light every XX seconds.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pzyborg:
Had Juice Defender with Ultimate Juice on my Thunderbolt and it kept stopping on its own without me knowing. Switched to Green Power Pro and it works flawlessly with my Thunderbolt and yes, I do get better battery life while using it. Just sometimes you need to turn it off to be able to download data. Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afleaddog:
Juicedefender didnt work for me until yesterday...it updated and has worked great since
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jateelover:
have tried green power and juice defender on mt4g..really the only thing that matters is that they stop data from being collected and used all the time...both work well, i like green power better because its far more simple..but for someone who wants to tweak to the optimum level, juice defender has more settings...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xTFGx:
the thunderbolt has a light sensor too, but i have no idea if its possible to access its settings to adjust screen brightness.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
I've used both. I personally like green power better. Its a little more user friendly. I did have a friends with an optima s who used green power and it broke his wifi. Had to do a factory reset to fix it. Works great on my thunderbolt though.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyMeth:
i am using juice defender ultimate so far it gives ma an additional 1.5 hrs of battery life
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacque:
green power works flawlessly
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbosrrgood:
These types of apps save battery by turning off data, when the phone is not in use. For me, that basically doubles my battery life.

Neither of the two apps above worked that reliably for me, however battery defender has been great. Very simple, and reliable.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Exactly right. These apps only save you battery WHEN YOU AREN'T USING YOUR PHONE. If you use your phone heavily, they won't help much. Before I got my extended battery, green power worked get well for me, but I find I don't need it now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmolloy:
Juice defender works. Run it for a few days, then take it off. Youll see the difference
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
All its doing is shutting off services apps that you are not using at the moment. You can do that manually and save a little more power.

Just think, you could make shortcuts onto your homescreen and shut off the same services it does and save the same power plus save a little more power because you dont have the juice defender app or whatever your using running in the back ground.

Personally for me, I bought the phone to take advantage of what it can do, I dont want to have to add extra steps just to get my location working or use gps. When you buy one of these phones, you should expect battery to be an issue if you plan on using it alot.

Im not trying top knock anyone here at all as each user has their own reason or obstacle that may give them a need for this but for the normal user, they put so much time and effort into finding the exact settings that are going to save them an hour or 2 when they simply could add a rezound battery or the extended battery and not worry about anything and use the phone the way it should be.

If you are against the bulk size thats added, before you get caught up on it, you really should try it. After a few days you wont even notice it and most actually wind up liking the grip and feel...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfetaz:
Thats true but these apps automate that to your liking so you never forget to do it. It would be annoying to do it all manually everytime i pick up and put down my phone.

I use juice defender and it works well for me. Only problem i have is when it lowers network mode down from 4g it doesnt go back to 4g unless i do it manually.

On page 2 of this thread xcrazydx said that juice defender uses up more power than it saves because it's a process that runs in the background. That being said, I also use setcpu to save power and it runs as a process.

I'm not sure about what xcrazydx said is true but can anyone with knowledge about juice defender elaborate on whether or not this is true or not?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
Its bullshiat. Green power and juicedefender have added hours to a single charge on the bolt, and almost a day on my old incredible. Just because its a process doesn't mean it is battery intensive. Its not like it keeps the CPU pegged at 100% constantly. Don't trust anyone that uses x's before and after thief user name IMHO. They're usually 14, and a virgin :p

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watt9493:
I have green power set to turn data off if no traffic exists after 3 minutes and to turn it back on as soon as I hit the power button to wake the screen. Its easier then doing it manually as I'm constantly running and don't have the time to check if I turned my data off. I leave GPS enabled so your location argument is kinda invalid (probably for everyone on cm7) plus, why would I want my phone burning through battery when I'm not using it? Ill sync my stuff when I want to.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartnphone:
Okay yeah I figured as much. He didn't back it up other than that it runs as a process. I may try green power later..

Anyone else looking to save battery who has a Amoled screen should try a Black background, black lockscreen, and bgoog.com as their home page in browser.

This along with setcpu, juice defender, and a good debloated custom rom has my Galaxy S2 lasting for much more than a day.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacque:
Green power is the best.have had a paid version from when I had a desire.it just works .and the Dev supports it too
[Streak 5 General] duckydan:
When I go on facebook it tells me I'm using an Optimus Black. When I use the MLB App it tells me I'm using an HTC phone. And when I send an e-mail it says that I'm sending it from my Galaxy S phone.

Is there any setting I can change so that apps either see it as the Streak or mask it so that apps that don't support the streak will provide support to it. (i.e. the MLB TV app doesn't support video on the streak.)

I am running StreakDroid 1.9.0

Thanks.
[Streak 5 General] media_11:
Streakdroid has email app ported from samsung galaxy tablet. That is why when you send email it says sending from galaxy s. You should be able to change it in the settings where it says signature or something like that.
[Streak 5 General] duckydan:
Oh I k.ow about the signature I was just curious about other apps... Possibly tricking then into thinking.i have a supported phone and such.
[Streak 5 General] wolverine9827:
Funny... when I called att to give them my imei and sim info for my streak it came up in their system as a dell latitude! LOL

[Android Apps and Games] stinkypete:
So basically it's StubleUpon?
[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
A kind of it yes, but it deals also with whole the apps you have installed and the entire android market :-)

It will tell you to play that game you were not aware of its existence before launching SerendApp...and you'll have also the possibility to uninstall it directly from SerendApp :-) (click on a thumbnail in the sliding gallery at the top)

Why not sending a message to a friend or send an email to a contact as proposed by SerendApp ..why note writing some notes or tasks to do as the app is now launched (ColorNote, NoteEverything..etc)...etc

It can be helpful when you don't want to do something specific from your drawer...just let SerendApp decide for you :-)

You can repeat the experience as many times you want.

As a consequence...you can install far more apps to test them at random from SerendApp and uninstall them also directly, it is no more necessary to search them (as far as the random law is satisfying :-) )

As it was helpful for me, i hope it will be so for you :-)

As a first version, will bring very soon customization features :-)

[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
Interestingly, the more you install apps, the better your user experience will be :-)

So, do not care about installing as many interesting apps as you want (in the limit of your memory card or your internal system of course ...) and let SerendApp pick each time one for you :-)
[Android Apps and Games] deejaylobo:
I like the idea! Fun :)

Would like to have more choices.

- Play/find from market a random game only(pre select Paid or Free)

- Same as above for apps

- Or maybe integration with folder organizer to launch a random app from a specific label or the ability to label all apps from within your application. Basically create my own random buttons.

- Integration with Facebook/Twitter/Other social network apps to view a random friend's page or even a non-friend's page.

- Integration with gallery and music player

-Bring up a random contact to call, or even open up a random chatbox with a friend who's online on Gtalk.

Good work!

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback and for these constructive suggestions and ideas.

Some of them are aldready on the road :-) and we will consider all of them for next releases (if ever possible ...as possible limitations may be for reluctance of users concerning too much Permissions required as View/Read Contacts for bringing at random a contact, difficulties to have app categories, number of buttons/dialog boxes in the user interface...etc all but if there is no solution, it means there is no problem (Schadock))

Thank you gaain for your feedback :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] scooter1979:
Very cool! Apps, Wiki, and Videos have taken up the past two hours of my life! Thank you!

If you have discovered something interesting with SerendApp, let us know ;)

Enjoy with SerendApp !
[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
Hi,

New version of SerendApp available in the Android Market (Version 1.2).

Version 1.2

-beta banner for future improvements

-bookmark feature (launch at random bookmarked apps): click on a thumbnail and bookmark

-app categorization (same ~30 categories like in the android market) => filter options

-hidden features:long click on "My Apps" launches "bookmarks", on "web" launches "i'm feeling lucky", on app categorization (in menu/parameters/apps) shows associated apps (click to launch apps)

-images and slideshows from Google image/flickr/picasa

-news from Google News

-(the Market app do not accept filtering options such as price and sort filters like its web counterpart, perhaps in near future)

Hidden options:

-long click on "My Apps" (green droid): launches Bookmarked apps

-long click on "Web": launches "I'm feeling lucky" behavior

-long click on a category: shows associated apps

Filtering apps by category: some apps may not appear if they are not listed in the android market (manufacturer such as Motorola/samsung or operator's apps); it is not recommended to filter (let all categories uncheck to avoid filter) as you may miss a special app or a special config :-)

More options are coming soon :-)

Share your discoveries on our blog :-)

Enjoy with SerendApp :-)

Version 1.1.1:

-Much faster + more relevant keywords generation

Version 1.1:

-added video features

-compact view mode+settings

-launch automatically an activity when SerendApp starts (like widget functionality; see settings)

Some screenshots:
[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
List of installed apps are now available :-)

You can choose the apps you want to play with using SerendApp, for instance all your last games or tools or quiz and launch them at random :-)

Selected installed apps have priority over categories,i.e. if you selected Brain & Puzzle apps category and you selected in the list of installed apps GMail, Facebook and Messaging, only these three installed apps will be launched; to retrieve apps of the selected category, do uncheck selected apps (there is a check button for select/unselect all) :-)

screenshots are there: https://picasaweb.google.com/quintessart/Serendapp

And download here: SerendApp
[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
You have 3 or 4 or ...n favourite daily apps ?

Just select them in SerendApp (menu/parameters/my apps) and only these apps will be launched, with no effort and at random :-)

You can also bookmark them (so that you can launch them as "bookmarked apps" in long click on "My apps"-green droid- button). Click on a thumbnail to bookmark; we will add this option in apps selection in next release.

Shortcuts are upcoming in next release with new "local" features :-).

Shortcuts, by definition, will be associated with one or more features (All stuff, My Apps, My Bookmarked Apps, My Selected Apps, My Apps Categories, videos, images, web pages, i'm feeling lucky, social, market,wiki...etc), directly from your homescreen, without opening SerendApp :-)

This will simply save your time and make you use your apps (and your smartphone) more often :cool:, while discovering new things. Interestingly, the more apps you install, the better is your user experience ;)

Stay tuned and enjoy with SerendApp ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] masterdevx:
Hi,

Suggestions of using SerendApp with friends :cool: :

1) install several games (e.g. quiz..brain & puzzle, arcade...etc)

2)select them in SerendApp (menu/parameters/My Apps) or select Games categories (menu/parameters/categories: unselect "selected apps" in "My apps" if you choose categories as the priority for launch will be for selected apps)

3)the first user will launch "My Apps" (green droid) and start playing with the randomly launched game => 1 point or score if he wins

4)the second user launched identically "My apps" and so on ...

For Quiz games, the user who launches "My apps" could ask the questions to the candidate player :-)

Enjoy with SerendApp !!
