[Thunderbolt General] 1234567188:
I just went to Verizon and replaced my thunderbolt. However it seems the corner is broken, it doesnt seem to be attached to anything and there is some light leakage, Has anyone else had this problem?
[Thunderbolt General] LSUstang05:
What do you mean by broken corner? Just having light leakage? If that's the case, it's relatively common. You can either keep returning till you get a good one, or do like a few of us and buy some black caulk and seal it up that way. I did this and I don't have any issues with it and you can't even tell that I did anything to it...even if I tell you to look for it.
[Thunderbolt General] 1234567188:
If I push harder then normal I can see some lcd squirm in the corner plus it seems to be slightly off, but I might just be insane. If I can find a way to show it in a pic I'll upload it
[Thunderbolt General] r68camaro:
Might want to take it back.

Sounds like there may be a defect. I would suspect there is an issue. I have pressed and not seen the any interference with the LCD, or any movement.
[HTC Aria General] cHarley04:
I'm having an issue using bluetooth with CM7 that may be difficult for most users to duplicate or even experience. This problem has persisted from the beginning of CM7 up through N37 including using Ladios' kernel and the latest radio update.

I'm a long distance motorcycle rider and use a a2dp bluetooth equipped helmet. This enables the full use of the Aria's telephone & music functions, from streaming music via BT to the helmet, to answering phone calls.

It's taken me awhile to realize it, but running with CM7, I'm experiencing a significant number of what I call bluetooth dropouts. This is very noticeable because I always stream music to the helmet when I'm riding. The bluetooth connection doesn't disconnect, the signal just seems to drop dead (go silent) for anywhere from a couple of seconds to as long as 15+seconds. This is something I could easily attribute to BT signal interference from power lines or RF interference, etc, if it wasn't for ONE thing;

I also have a second Aria running Gene Poole's Liberated Aria 2.2.2 and the same latest radio. With this phone and OS, the BT dropouts are non-existent.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm really liking and well into being committed to CM7, but the BT dropouts are a real issue for me.

Edit: No, missing 10 or 15 seconds of music isn't a big deal, but when a phone call drops out for that long, it is.

Thanks, I'll see what I can find.
[HTC Aria General] BuckMulligan:
I have what I suspect is the same issue. In my case, it's localized and predictable - if I take my usual bus to work, it doesn't happen until I get off the bus downtown. If I take a different bus, it happens at certain intersections. It also happens when I walk the dog in my neighborhood. Obviously, there is some sort of interference occurring at these locations, but I can't figure out what.
[HTC Aria General] mtnlion:
Did they ever fix the issue with everybody running cm7 having the same bt address?maybe you folks are running across other root users running cm7 and a Bluetooth device.try loading cm7 on your wife's phone see if it creates the same dropout.
[HTC Aria General] plumberchuck:
No its not from being around rooted phones mine does it in towns, city's, and out in the country, around people and no people, there is something causing interuption within the phone or program itself.

The USB port (full-size) is /usbdisk as albright indirectly pointed out above.

I have found with mine, however, that it is best to plug it in and unplug

it when off. The way when the tab comes up it can find it an utilize it.

Android is not plug and play like Windows.

I think it will not read NTFS formatted drives without a little work. FAT32 may work better for you.
[Nexus S General] daft.71:
...when I take my phone out of Airplane mode is that my phone thinks I'm in Eastern Asia or Russia or something like that.

I have to get into Latitude or Google Maps to "resync" my phone to pick up the correct location and from then on, software like Foursquare works correctly.

Is this a known issue with the Nexus S? I didn't have that problem with the Nexus One.

As for my real location, it's in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

It's funny because people teased me the other day because I was in Sofia, Bolivia. :P
[Nexus S General] daft.71:
I even tried with a full wipe with the stock system and when I boot the phone or put it in airplane mode, my phone thinks I'm in the Middle East or Bolivia. Is there an issue with Google's location servers or do my phone has some form defect?
[Nexus S General] Haadkoe:
I have no idea what's going on with your handset, but had a somewhat similar coincidence recently with my Motorola Spice. I noticed that if I clicked the little "i" on any of the pictures I'd taken, then scrolled to the GPS Coordinates and and clicked on them, it would always open maps and show that I had taken the pictures somewhere in North Korea. Bizarre, I'm in BC Canada. Different hardware, different version of Android, and an unrelated issue, but both strange location-based occurrences nonetheless.
[Nexus S General] daft.71:
Well, I got a replacement phone, thinking the issue might be related to the hardware, but no luck. The phone still thinks I'm in Syria when I'm in my home (south shore of Montreal).

When I use the GPS and let Google Maps works a bit, then, it figures out my real location and all the other apps now report the proper location. I'm thinking the issue might be related to Google's location services problems for my phone.
[Nexus S General] mastiff78:
I had the same problem with my Nexus S as well. It sometimes shows its location in Jaipur, India or somewhere in Mauritius! I called the Samsung, and they asked me to do a hard reset which i did but after a few days it again shows my location in India! What a pain. This problem usually surfaces after i use google GPS navaigation.

I even reflashed the Android 2.3.3 manually but to no avail. My phone is not rooted, and runs stock android 2.3.3 I just hope this is just a GPS bug, and will be taken care of in future OTA updates.
[HTC Inspire 4G] see-me:
HI

i am using coredroid v5 rom on my inspire 4g

when i recorde video (of course with 720p)

the video recording is great however its stuck alot while the recording (there are a lot of small stucks during the recording)

i guess that this is accure because the 8 gb microsd is class 2 and the write speed is slow

is there any way to do that the video recrording will be save on the internal memory of my inspire 4g?

or do you have any ideas whay is it occure?and do you have another way to solve it?

thanks alot

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mudd_cat23:
Has anyone played with the profiles for this app to get optimal performance and better battery. Life of so post your results and share your profiles thank you
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Girgizzlemuf:
Other than that it is always set to 816/216.

I usually get about 5 hours screen time and about 20 hours standby. Email and Calender sync at 1 hr, with a custom power profile that turns data off after 15 minutes between 3a-9a. I'm happy with it :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crippenx:
Your profiles are similar to what I use, although I don't have one for charging/charging A/C

Also, you run 816/216 rest of the time? Aren't you short-changing your phone's capabilities a bit though ... ? I find the biggest different is having screen-off profile.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Girgizzlemuf:
Not really. I change it to 1000/216 if it's spectral souls, gun bros or a benchmark. Angry birds plays on my fuze (lol) so i don't change it there. I have noticed little to no difference running 1000/216 on launcher screens, pictures, data rates or anything versus 816/216. If i bump it down to the 700 range then things get laggy, but as it sits 816 runs everything almost flawlessly.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] crippenx:
Good to know, thanks! I'll try that, maybe squeeze out a little more battery life than I am now :D What are you averaging? I can go about 1.5 days with good usage as it stands
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] alex_herrero:
Strange, I can't have more than 15 hours if moderate usage...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] thunderpack:
I have similar profiles to the screenshot posted above, but I don't have one for when powered. The main profile on mine is 1000 max ~400 min. I've found that keeping the min ~400 makes the device always snappy without sacking much battery life.

I also use JuiceDefender to manage my data syncing. I leave the blur battery profile at high performance.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Girgizzlemuf:
Depends on the day. If its a day off, i get ~30 hours with ~6 hours screen time from 100%-10%. Most days though i don't notice much, I drive around a lot listening to pandora in my car dock so its constantly being charged :P

If I can tear myself away from pandora for a day i'll repost something more meaningful.

On a side note, I notice with circle battery widget I usually get the slowest drain between 80% and 40%, not sure if anyone else has noticed this.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Girgizzlemuf:
Small update to what I said earlier..

With my profiles, and all the crap running in the background this is what i got now from 100%-31%

1d3h11m since unplug

1d0h25m idle time

3h04m display

0h45m spectral souls (!)

Would go further but I am gonna be away from a charger all day tomorrow
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] franciscojavierleon:
i get the same battery life with setcpu and a display off profile than with no setcpu at all. my guess is that the battery saved gets wasted on setcpu itself.

I have the phone on from 7:30am to 12 midnight with no calls and 1 hour display time and i have just 40% less. No wifi at anytime.

Apps i only have gmail, no other email accounts, twitter at 15 minutes and whatsapp
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
You got something else wrong. SetCPU will definitely not drain the life it saves. you must have a beast app running in the back somewhere...

also, what kernel/rom are you running?
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] zen kun:
lol what??

what kernel? since when there its custom kernels :rolleyes

i get like 12 hours in my normal day i guess its to few :s but streaming music over BT like 4 hours and surfing web forums tweetdeck. not impressed battery for my usage :S

perhaps seems better than my N1. and seems when i enable data it drain more faster like 5% per hour screen off, and no data like 1% or 2
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dean_fx:
Yes, my question was pretty straight forward...what kernel are you running. From your response I see your English may be the issue here.

Anyway, reason I ask is because some kernels such as BFS kernels don't really play nice with my phone nor battery. So maybe the issue is with the kernel being used.

"::rollseyes::"
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Girgizzlemuf:
Bootloader is signed on the phone. No custom kernels.

We currently have 4 options on att and like... one on bell i believe. Mine is stock motorola 4.1.57 with gladiatrix2 pseudo-rom

I did forget to mention that i'd sent like 40 text messages and replied to a half dozen emails.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] garekinokami:
/sigh. XDA, a wealth of information, but a lack of patience and reading comprehension.

Anyway, I feel like the Atrix does better than the Evo with battery life. I might try fiddling with SetCPU, so thanks for the info.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bradavon:
HTC Desire with stock Froyo ROM

I've been using SetCPU 2.1.1a recently and have noticed no difference in battery life. Is SetCPU a placebo as far as battery life is concerned?

My settings:

Charging = Max. 998 / Min. 998

Screen Off = Max. 245 / Min. 245

Battery < 101% = Max. 998 / Min. 245

Battery < 25% = Max. 499 / Min. 245

If I "Disable Perflock" SetCPU says "Success: Perflock appears to be disabled".

Some say it increases their battery life, are they imagining it? I'm not interested in over clocking. I'd be very willing to buy it, if it increased my battery life. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] seven2099:
Why are people using Setcpu to try to save battery life?

The whole point of Tegra 2 is ultra low voltage operation when the system is inactive..

Its absolutely counter-productive to use setcpu to try to already do what the chipset itself is made to do and not half as effectively.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Because plenty of people say it helps. Hence my question. I'm guessing you pessimistic?

The Tegra 2 is only in certain Android devices.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] raybond25:
it may only be in certain ones, but it DEFINITELY in the atrix....which is this section in which you're posting...
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bradavon:
This thread is covering more than the Atrix. I didn't want to start yet another thread about this, when there are already plenty. Besides the main SetCPU thread (with the download links) is in the HTC Dream section and that phone's ancient.

If someone can answer my questions please.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] franciscojavierleon:
in my experience, setcpu saves very little battery life. what little battery is saved, most gets lost by the battery use of the application itself.

i just set the cpu to 216mhz when the screen is off. i may get a 10% better battery, but since the phone can't read the battery in 1% increments i don't know (and no i won't install a widget, that wastes the battery even more)
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] seven2099:
exactly.. the thread is about the Atrix only anyways.. its about setcpu on the atrix.

absolutely pointless to use it on the atrix as it is unless you wanna force the phone to run both cores at 1000mhz all the time.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] seven2099:
absolutely correct.

Messing with the already battery efficient Tegra 2 chipset with a 3rd party generic program will do nothing to help you save battery.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] bradavon:
Thanks.

Agreed, Android's battery value is annoying. It doesn't tell you at all how much is left in any sort of useful value.

I use the HTC battery widget. It's just an icon/shortcut but has a visual indicator in percentage.

I am having the same issue, and from what I have been told, you MIGHT need an external battery charger to get the battery to FULLY charge. Something with the Evo stops the extended batteries from fully charging to their capacity.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
There are many of us who believe that the algorithm used to determine battery charge capacity is flawed. When the 3500 mah battery is truly filled to capacity, battery life is amazing. I go through a routine to get my Seido 3500 to completely charge. Place the battery monitor widget on your main homescreen (it is free to download from the market) I charge it until the LED turns green or until the battery monitor widget alerts me audibly. Yes, it can be set to emit an audible alert when the battery reaches 100%. Afterwards, I unplug and wait 60 seconds. If after 60 seconds the battery monitor widget displays less than 100%, I resume charging. I repeat that process until after 60 seconds the widget still displays 100%. Once that happens, I can easily get over 24 hours of use from my battery. My routine is somewhat tedious, but it is effective. Like others have stated, a dedicated charger for the Seido may work better. Anyway, I use this same routine with the stock battery. I hope I was helpful to you.

I think I will give your method a try and see if that will work for me. I get approx. 5-6hrs on what shows a full charge on my 3500ma battery at this point.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
I charge my battery til light is green, then leave it on for ~2 hrs. Look at the waveform on bmw. You'll notice after the charge level reaches 100%, the mA waveform looks like a saw tooth waveform. Initially it will be a high frequency pattern, then it will begin to slow down... Once it reaches this slow down state, that's when I consider my phone charged.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Here's a visual of what I was referring to above. The phone's on the charger the whole time, unused (idling), screen off.

mA on top, % on bottom.

Same graph, mA on top, mV on bottom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madflasher:
to add another method to the mix it's similar, not trying to knock on any of the others mentioned at all

I found that the most accurate way to utilize the BMW for a full charge is reading the mA's..

..after either placing widget on home screen or activating >menu>settings>monitoring preferences>monitor without widget>history update rate>60sec..

..then after light turns green check mA's in history it will be positive mA until it goes from triple digits to double then single when it reaches zero its at capacity/full then it will stop charging and start to go into negative mA. unless its a sbc kernel it should keep bumping a single digit mA if nothing is keeping it awake..

..unplug at zero and it will stay at 100% for a long time on a extended battery. best I got was 10 hours (at100%) with minimal use and 5 with moderate on a 2400mAH.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I, too, watch the mA using the battery monitor widget (bmw) and many of us used to charge the battery and wait until the mA dropped to 0. The problem is that many of us could never get to 0 or by the time it got to 0 the phone had been charging for about 8 hours...of course I'm being overly dramatic here...lol...The point is this: when the phone's LED initially illuminates indicating a full charge, chances are it is not full and you will have to employ some additional charging methods to truly get a completely charged battery. Several methods have been offered here. Pick one or try them all and then decide which one is acceptable to your tastes and patience level. Take care.

@madflasher, your battery history log is indicative of a SBC kernel. Is that what you are using?

A non sbc kernel has a bump type strategy, while sbc is trickle.

[Hero CDMA General] ranger61878:
Compared to what it was, yes, but there is still Gingerbread deving going on...CyanogenMod and aosp's builds are still being developed. There's still a kernel that Deca and s0be are doing.

So I sold it, used my Hero again..got tired of the Hero and bought my friends Evo that he didn't want for 100 dollars .....Sold that Evo to my sister..back to the Hero..

and Now I'm back to the Evo again but keeping the Hero around just in case my Evo breaks ...
[Hero CDMA General] jasonmaloney:
Absolutely not! There's still so much more to do.

The CyanogenMod Heroc base still has a long way to go. It still ships with a 2.6.29 Linux kernel. It also ships with a bunch of proprietary files that are begging to be reverse-engineered. And the ones that have been (like libcamera) have a LONG way to go.

The 2.6.35 kernel is nearly stable for our devices, and once that's done I'm sure someone (perhaps yours truly) will work on porting a newer one. This should be exciting because Android additions were finally merged into the mainline kernel tree.

The other big thing for us is going to be replacing more proprietary libraries with source code. I'm personally planning to bring libcamera up in quality for the CM7.1 release. And it's about time for someone to start working on the OpenGL libs.

And there are always going to be more versions of Android in the future to port. And there are always going to be incremental performance tweaks.

I am going to keep my Hero until ether it dies and I can not rebuild it or Sprint drops the $10 fee that would bring me nothing but a lighter wallet.

I have 4 smart phone users in my house. 3 have Heroes and one has an LG Optimus we are all under the 2 year mark. I was going to upgrade under the Sprint Premier plan, but they changed that as well, so As long as it works my Hero well be with me.

So I hope the development on the Hero continues well into the future.
