I cannot stress enough that using a task killer will cause more problems than it solves.

Using a task killer essentially thwarts all the things the OS does to conserve memory and battery and maximize responsiveness.

You're FAR FAR better off getting rid of poorly-written apps you may have installed.

A properly written app will not be using CPU when in the background unless it has a specific or periodic task, in which case it should ONLY operate until its task is completed.

There are a ton of apps out there written by people who didn't bother to read the application lifecycle documents, or any of the android developer blog entries, or the best practice documents, etc. etc.

Think of it this way: Junky apps are fast food. A task killer is lap band surgery. Sure, it gets rid of the fat, but it's horrible for your body in the long run.

I had a big post about this a while back, people still dont get it. When my Girlfriend bought her Epic the guy at sprint put ATK on it. I removed it as soon as she showed me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sic123:
my sister in-law has the LG Ally and it sucks ass and shes been having issues with it and the people at verizon tell her she just needs to use her task killer more

If you need to close an app because it hangs, use the built in task killer.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] mobius999:
System Panel ftw! I always have it on my devices anyways just to see what's what, and it has an added bonus of an included task killer widget. Doesn't run all the time, you can tune it like any other with what to kill/exclude, and it's just an on-demand kill button on your homepage without going into settings. Best of both worlds imo.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PaulG1488:
Yea system panel is good I love how it shows you what's actually killing the battery unlike the idiots using atk thinkingbtheyre saving battery

Hey peeps, new here. Having trouble with my headphones or rather 3.5mm jack, maybe you guys can help out.

Having just moved from the iPhone to my new xperia Arc. I brought over the headsets, a klipsch s5i. However it doesn't work properly with the phone. It as though there a fuzzy filter placed over the sound, only when i placed the buttons in the in-line mic, then will the music ring clearly. It happen with headphones that have in-line buttons, please advise.

THanks in advance
[Xperia Arc General] Imdking:
Welcome to SE. That is how it is with the x10, and x1. When you take SE's headphones to use on another devise (eg. Watch movies on ipod or laptop), you have to depress the button to get clear sound.

The solution is to use half of SE's head phones:

Connect your is5 to the lower half of SE headphones, then plug to the Arc's headphone jack. (Makes for an extreeeemly long headphone set, don't it? Hahahaha!)

To use the Arc's headphones, pull out the top half and connect it to laptop to listen. But your face wil have to be real close to the laptop! Hahahaha! Woooo!:D

Hey guys i just got my arc yesterday.... the thing is i am hearing static noice in the background when i am using the headphones.... both sony provided ones and creative ep630.... and the sony provided ones dont split so i cant use the bottom half and upperhalf method.... one more thing when i pause a song i hear static (like fuzzzzzzzz) for 2-3 seconds before it stops completely like how they should.

Is anyone else having the same problem???? PLease help me out as this is a really brand new one and i spent some hard earned cash here(no offence guys)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] absk:
After a lot of searching, I have narrowed down to Optimus One as my first Android buy. The only thing that bothers me is the dust under the screen problem. Since I live in Delhi, India, which is a generally dusty place, it scares me even more.

Is it a safe buy despite this? Has the problem been rectified by LG?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] FnH84:
Well my house is extremely dusty and this is why my laptop is hardly working anymore because it's so full of dust... there's nothing I can do about it, because this is how this city is. But my LG hasn't had any dust under the screen, only on top.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lerkin:
I don't have any dust under screen of my phone too..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ddjc:
I bought my 01 two weeks ago and it already has dust under the screen, so I do not think this problem has been rectified.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pwntigo:
been using the phone for about a month, and no problems here
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ligu:
no problem for me too. been using for 3 months, and always carry in my pocket, which is rather dusty.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
Bought mine in the first week of january. Its got loads of dust under the screen. The manufacture date is of november 2010 and firmware is 2.2

I think the newer model which has a revised hardware ( with the sd card slot on the left hand side of the phone) does not have this problem. The older model has the sd card hidden under the back cover and the back cover has to be removed to insert our remove the card.

You can also recognize the new model with its cover box. It is white in color and bigger than the older box which is small and black in color.

In simple terms check the manufacture date. Also buy a phone without insurance or hw related problem (dust under the screen) will not dealt by the lg service center
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
I think it just effects certain batches as I have the one with sd slot under the cover, and have no dust at all after 3 months.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
Try looking at the screen in broad daylight under the sun with the screen turned off.

I used to think the same until I looked at the screen in the outdoors.

The dust goes in though the physical keys.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] imp0ster81:
Hello!

Just bought Optimus one in Slovenia a week ago. Dust under screen in lower right corner. You can see it in under the sun.

What did you guys do about that? Is it better to open it up yourself and clean it and possibly put something on the lower part of the screen to prevent dust getting in (tape?, piece of foam?) or take it back to the shop? If they're just gonna clean it, it will happen again, can they ''fix'' it? Otherwise it's a great phone, but this issue is annoying.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
Dont open the phone your self. You will void your phone warranty. Better take it to the service center and tell them to put a piece of tape at the bottom portion of the screen. if they dont do it, dust will re enter the screen area.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] imp0ster81:
hmm i have a custom Rom on it but I guess they probably won't check that stuff for this kind of repair...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nac5000:
I think this may be just with some countries a lot of people are reporting no problems, so if you had red that indi optimus had this problem you could be another.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p3dr0maz:
Fonts on Froyo are stored in /system/fonts/

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWizKid95:
not necessarily, there is an app in the market that allows you to reboot the statusbar only. idk the name, but ill post a link when i find it.

also, i found another trick to doing this. if you have titanium backup, you can backup the status bar app in the Backup/Restore section of titanium backup.

Not that it's a big deal either way, but how often do you change themes? For my use (try a new theme every week at most), this seems pretty trivial, esp. if you are flashing nightlies already.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Get_Out_and_Push:
So my phone has this problem where my phone will randomly open the car dock. When the phones locked, unlocked, when I using it, it just randomly opens. I've reflashed roms to change and hope it was just one Rom but it still does it.

I even switched to miui which doesn't have a car dock and I got the car dock notification in the top bar and it kicked the gps on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
That is weird. Have you attempted to remove, freeze or rename the car dock app? If not, give it a try. Using a system level file manager like Root Explorer or adb, maneuver to the /system/app folder and either rename or delete .apk file associated with the car panel. I've deleted mine and I'm not sure of the exact name of it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Fitz:
I've seen where some usb cables have the extra pin grounded and the car dock will open when plugged into any sort of charger, unchecking the option to start automatically under settings/dock will fix that.

Are you saying it opens without being plugged into anything all by itself?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clay333:
I have had that same problem for about 5 months. I'm guessing u also have speakerphone active every time you start a call, right? What I always do is after I flash a new Rom go in to car panel- settings- and disable auto launch then open titanium backup and uninstall car panel. This doesn't work as good on sense 2.0 Roman tho, it won't ever actually pop up but it will be in your task bar constantly. Sorry u r going thru this too cuz I know how pissed it used to make me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:
You probably have a problem with your USB port. Best thing to do is take it in to Sprint and get it looked at.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Get_Out_and_Push:
Thanks for all the quick replies guys. Yeah I figured it's probably a grounded pin somewhere making the phone think that it's always docked. I'm using MIUI now and I don't think I can uninstall the car panel part.

But by far the most annoying part is the phone always defaulting to speakerphone, totally awesome when I'm at college haha.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike Fitz:
My girlfreind has the issue on her phone but only when using a certain charger. I didn't realize the problem she has with speakerphone activating were related. Does turning off the dock auto-launch also fix the speaker phone issue?
[XPERIA X10 General] MKD73:
Seems its gone quiet on the rom/updates for most cookers :), this prob because they are all at work on a new custom kernel for their roms like j, WB etc , what goodies will be activated by them and what release kernel will you be using ? as i see on freexperia hub both the .29 and 32 have been worked on? , will you all be dropping froyo and jumping straight to Gingerbread ? i like GB but for some reason i like froyo better WB v5 with custom .32 rom would be top notch

[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
I don't think the call volume is necessarily because of the kernel. Its not a problem for a lot of people, it seems to be a regional problem. There are volume hacks available already but I don't know for certain they work for in call volume.
[XPERIA X10 General] kultus:
Regional or not its problem for many people so why not...and as I know all sound hacks works only on hacked devices...correct me if Im wrong...

...another thing is NO exposure correction (+- EV) for 2.2+ camera and until now nobody answered me if we will have it on new ROMs as we already have on 2.1 stock camera...maybe Arc cam port will help...do somebody know why noone port Arc camera apk to X10? Just a question because Arc firmware is here in XDA for a long time...

1. FPS cap removal

2. 16mil colours

3. UNDERVOLT to save battery

4. tethering
[XPERIA X10 General] Teio:
Plus, it open doors to Cyanogen and MIUI teams to develop a version of their roms specifically optimized to our x10...

Also the possibility to port Sense Roms for those who like it, as jerpelea has tried unsuccessfully in the past...

And the possibility to develop optimized kernels, which will improve roms stability and speed...

Just look at G1 development section and you will see that there are some kernels that runs faster and better than anothers...
[XPERIA X10 General] Findee:
Well, fps cap doesn't really bother me. Considering the human eye can't see past 24fps and I don't really play any games to have seen the fps drop down to it being noticeable (except when the phone lags of course).
[XPERIA X10 General] Windst:
Human eye can percieve Much more than 24fps. 24 is a basis for smooth effects. 32 is generally the smooth media standard. Its a theory like gravity. Z"tests" have shown human eyes seeing past 60-100. Due to ram and higher fps would smoothen and speed up our phones. Much less lag. Better response time.
[XPERIA X10 General] JoeBananas_:
^just what i wanted to post :D

is it even possible to change to kernel so we have 16m colours? can our screen do that?
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
This and support for ext2 file system.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lofwyr:
Try using Z's custom kernel for 2.1 at least once (or just compare the smoothness of scrooling menus and screens on iPhone and Xperia X10)... the removal of the 32fps cap do a hell of a difference. First time i´ve tryed i -> :eek::eek::eek:

[XPERIA X10 General] vaguin70:
i think the most important reason to update is finally we will get Flash player...

the low in-call volume will not be fixed, our x10 earphone is hardware limited, i took apart mine and checked the earphone to change it for a better one but it is not possible, its a new generation of flex earphone, its tiny and slim thats why we cannot get a loud sound, not like the old generation of earphones which were bigger and better

so even if it was possible to enhance the volume by software, the crackling sound would encrease too
[XPERIA X10 General] Stef_dude:
Seeing my custom 2.2 ROM with Arc Rom vs a friend's Arc, the arc is much smoother and snappier, while the processor runs at same speeds, so 30+fps hack would be great!
[XPERIA X10 General] CMoney87:
You can have Flash now if you use any 2.2+ ROM and you can use Flash 10.1 in 2.1 but it wont work with many sites. I don't think the volume is hardware related maybe its a network issue. Many users have no problems with in call volume, I for one think its fine (I'm on AT&T in the U.S.)
[XPERIA X10 General] vaguin70:
yep i know about the 2.2, but it is not an official update, so its still faulty, i will wait for the 2.3, i live in colombia but sometimes i have to go to china to work and the sound is the same, its good but not good enough.

My earphone is ok but sometimes when somebody is talking a little louder on the phone i can hear some crackling sound, i used to have nokia phones my last one was a N95, that one i took it apart too.....and the earphone was bigger, the x10 earphone is too small and so slim

im not a sound engineer or profesional but when it comes to a good sound, the bigger and bulkier the better for earphones or speakers..

[XPERIA X10 General] agentJBM:
I have been following this bypass and custom kernel as closely as a non dev type can.

I have one question. If we have to use the 0.52 baseband kernel, aren't we only modifying the kernel rather than using our own custom kernel? Is this the next step, or will it always be based on 0.52?

No disrespect or ungratefulness intended. Just don't quite understand. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] compumasta:
Well think about it for a second. A .29 kernal will only do what a .29 kernal can do. Same with any kernal really. So why reinvent the wheel for the whole kernal instead of just tweaking one to behave as the developers choose? I don't see the need to write a fully custom kernal when a large portion will have to work exactly the same ya know?

mate, are you sure that we'll see any difference between 65K colors and 16M??cause i think that it is only a codification problem..24 bit instead of 16 bit codes..I don't really know if we will be able to see some difference like vivid colors or something like that!!

You know what works better than 16 mil colors? Try removing the factory screen protector. You won't believe the difference in clarity and responsiveness. The screen is made of hardened mineral glass, so it is very scratch resistant. Use a razor blade to pick up the corner of the thick scratched up factory screen protector.
