[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
i think that ROM doesnt have the right current file because someone else posted the same issue a few weeks ago. something about the ROM they were using did not work with the current widget, it always showed 0mA. a different ROM is all i can suggest. and i dont know why this would happen in the first place. all ROMs should be using the same battery driver, which outputs the same sysfs files that the current widget reads.

though i have seen this be different. if your ROM is say, based on the desire HD, which may use a different battery driver, then the file would be different, hence current widget breaks. you would have to "trick" the current widget into looking for the other phone's current file and use that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gordec:
Resolved

So apparent Setcpu interferes with current widget. After removing setcpu mA displayed fine. Worth a try for those having similar issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kofrad:
This should not be the case. I have had current widget and setcpu both working on my device before. At the time I would have been running CoreDroid.

However, I'm now using LeeDroid and current widget is showing a constant 0mA. Setcpu is also installed and working fine.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on under the hood for all this, but I'd like my milliamps back! :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
My idle MA shows nothing less than 37mA - I only have gmail sync on - stock rom, BUT not OEM battery (using the Seidio 1300mAh battery) http://store.androidcentral.com/seidio-innocell-1300mah-extended-battery/8A37A8029.htm

Any other reason I might be experiencing this much drain when idle?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kofrad:
Maybe some sort of difference in readings due to different battery sizes? Thats my best guess.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
This is my overnight current draw using inspired saga.
[HTC Inspire 4G] born_fisherman:
I'm assuming the lower idle mA is from using gingerbread?

I would think the larger battery would last longer (theoretically it should right)

I'm going to give stock ROM a day or two more to give it some break in time
[HTC Inspire 4G] newter55:
Mine is not quote that low overnight but I don't turn anything off and range from 4-7% with spikes every half hour during syncing on inspired saga.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
Damn you that is freaking good numbers.

To the person seeing 37 mA, may be your ROM, or likely you have stuff running using CPU cycles. Try system panel, over night test, and see what shows up in your list. Only the paid version does that though unfortunately, but its so worth it to own that app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
This is the most relevant topic I could find to post in.

So when I originally rooted the phone and was running the stock rooted ROM, I tried Current Widget and my log was showing drops of between -1 and -5 mA's, but I tested again recently and I'm regularly showing drops of between -60 and -70 mA's.

I've tried with both the stock radio (26.06.04.06M) as well as the updated radio from the recently released HTC WiFi update (26.06.06.30M) and several different ROMs (MIUI, CM7, Inspired Saga, Inspired Ace) and am still noticing significantly higher drain then when I first got the phone. I've since RUU'd back to stock and am now testing that way.

I have noticed that with WiFi OFF, I'm only seeing the expected -1 to -7 mA drain. As I understand it, WiFi is supposed to be more battery efficient than the mobile network, so this I don't get.

Can anyone explain why this might be happening or a possible resolution?

I don't know if this is in the right area so if it's not please move it. I know there is a lot of questions revolving around the GPS for the Vibrant.I was just curious to see how you guys are getting the best performance from your GPS using Bionix 1.3.1. So please post and tell me, my GPS sucks and I've tried all fixes that I know of including the hardware fix. THIS QUESTION IS FOR BIONIX 1.3.1 USERS ONLY THANK YOU!!!

Mine works great with bionix after i got the samsung gps fix off market
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony yayo:
my gps never worked until they sent me an exchange. now it is amazingly good. i even tried walking from one end of the driveway to the other using My Tracks and it had me the whole way. i think one night i even locked on to 9 out of 16 birds. i never even heard of anyone seeing more than 13 birds! sometimes when i first turn it on it has me a few blocks away but within ten seconds i'm locked on. even works pretty well inside. the warranty exchange definitely did the trick, although i believe i got a brand new phone, who knows? definitely a hardware issue IMHO
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Any idea what kind of accuracy you get?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenfiji0327:
It will find sometimes up to 13 sats, but from that point it will never lock. I've left it on for 30 minutes before trying to get it to work. It never wants to lock though. The accuracy is always terrible to, it always ranges from 3500 to 2700 meters never gets below that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Yeah, that is terrible. Did your GPS ever work? (Before Bionix)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenfiji0327:
I got it to lock one time. I had to leave it on for 45 minutes though before it would lock and after that it never locked again. I know this is one of the devices mfg before OCT 2010. I already called them and they want me to send it in. If there is a fix that I can use to get it working before I send it in though, that would be great.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenfiji0327:
Oh and I have tried the gps restore app from the market and that always fails too.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanton93:
Well .. It's a little bit awkward, because everyone here says gps on bionix 1.3.1 it's working well but mine sucks. Utterly bitterly sucks. It always says "could not get your location" and stuff..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug2060:
Mine works great with Bionix 1.3.1 & Sgps. I flash it at the same time I flash Bionix. I don't know if it makes a difference to do it that way. I'm also running Overstock. I can usually get a lock in 5 to 20 seconds even indoors. I've had lots of trouble getting it to work in the past but Sgps seems to work for me.

PS: Before launching my GPS app I use GPS test to get a lock then launch my GPS app of choice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanton93:
Hmmm... Sgps? Where is that? I'm gonna give it a shot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenfiji0327:
Okay I guess I'll just have to send it off lol. I've tried all of the software fixes and I've done the hardware fix and none of that has helped in anway. I think the GPS in there is just bunk lol. Thanks for all your suggestions though guys. I appreciate it. Well a week without my phone, I don't know how I'll live.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jefe21:
Update?

Where is the GPS data/cold start options?

what is that?

Using GPS test it shows 11 sats in view but no signal strength from any.

Never had any GPS problems on my G1...What is SGPS?

How do I do this?

Searched on all these and the threads are all over the place
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbamade:
I imagine you are using SGS Tools to find the satellites...what worked for me on other ROMS when you found them but didnt lock them, was: after you find a bunch of them. hit back until you exit out of SGS Tools...then restart it real quick and go right back to the GPS test. It will see the satellites again. It may not lock on still though. Now go to settings and set it to "cold start" and go back. Now exit. Open it again real quick and go back to GPS test. it will see the satellites again, and it may start locking on to a few. If it doesnt just exit out and go back in real quick. after a few times you will start to lock on!

works best when done outside!

:thanks? did it work?::
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenfiji0327:
No I was not using sgs tools to find the satellites but nice try. Anyway like I previously stated I had to send it in and of course they said it was repaired and it's not so I'm going to call them once again and see what happens.

Posted this into the android apps section but got quickly put to the second page so here it is in the G2 section. There is a Tiny Wings clone available now called Dillo Hills. It has a couple more features than tiny wings, for instance the ability to change your character (default is an armadillo), change the graphics between low, medium and high, and the ability to glide for a short while.

There is a paid and a free version. As far as i can tell the free version just wont let you change characters. Have Fun
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Mylenthes:
Played the free version for like a week now and I loved it. Key word loved. This game is like fruit ninja and those type of games, I can play them for like a week then I just get bored.

Another thing with this game, its way too hard. When you get to zone 6 it seems you can't go fast enough and your health slowly goes down and the only thing I can do is rush to get through zones so it raises my happiness. I think I may be playing the game wrong, but as hard as I try I can't go faster than the halfway mark on zone 6 and on.
[Android Software Development] liranc:
So I had an idea today, and for all I know it could already be implemented somewhere but I haven't found it.

I always have several web pages open on my desktop that I read through, either news, or other things like that.

I would love to be able to leave the computer, open my android browser and it be exactly where i left off on my desktop browser... then click links read some more, and when i come back to my desktop it's updated to where the mobile browser left off.

Thoughts?

[General Questions and Answers] RaptorGuy:
I know this is probably the 100th thread about forced data plans on AT&T.

My wife and I have been using our unlocked Windows Mobile phones for a couple of years now. We recently switched from Centennial Wireless to AT&T, since the two companies merged.

When we went into the AT&T store to set up our plan, we took our phones in with us. I specifically asked the sales rep if we were required a data plan, and he responded with "no". We were not put under contract since we had our own devices.

Since then, AT&T has an automated system that recognized smartphones and other similar devices. This system adds a data plan to your device and notifies you via text and email.

Neither of us use the internet on our phones. Each phone has wifi, but my wife doesn't know how to use much on her phone. We mostly use our phones for texting and thats about it.

I've called AT&T, to make a long story short, nothing happened.

Going to try to switch to the GoPhone setup and use our smartphones on that.

Getting tired of all this forced B.S.

I'm just about ready to ditch cellular companies and go back to the "string and cup" method.

Are there any programs that mask your IMEI number?
[General Questions and Answers] inconceeeivable:
Pretty sure you're out of luck if they've already recognized your smartphones. :(

It's a horrendous policy...one of the main reasons I switched actually. Probably going to be forced to leave T-Mobile if the merger happens. (AT&T will surely put a stop to prepaid smartphones, won't they?)

I'm not sure, but I think hiding/altering your IMEI is illegal? Don't quote me on that, though.

[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Nonsense, you use the name as-is.

OP,

Sounds like you're just not getting into recovery right, it takes some practice with the timing. And you can't 'shut down into recovery', AFAIK that does not work. You'll have to hold the right combination of buttons bootup.. You'll need to look for your particular recovery, but for me I hold Power and the N button during the boot process and let go of the Power button about 5s after seeing the "Reading" message.
[Nook Color General] fow99:
Thanks. It looks like khaytsus is right: I need to let go of the power button but hold on to the N button for a bit.

Works now!

Browse the following list:

Choose a ROM which you think will suit you and read the thread carefully ,especially the bits of the ROM that work and the bits that DON'T work(I.E. GPS)

Then follow the instructions on the [OP] carefully,paying attention to the required system partitions.

Good luck :)

Now that the Airplay private key has leaked, is anyone aware of a project to write an app that mimics an airport express?

I actually wouldn't expect that from apple. The guy found the key also wrote a script to use it (http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2...irport-express-to-receive-airplay-streams.ars). I would have expected Apple to say something then if they were going to say anything. Also, there are airport emulators that only lack the private key, (I think XBMC has one). It's possible Apple will say something, but just as likely they'll ignore this the same way they (for the most part) ignore jailbreaking.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
They don't ignore jailbreaking at all, they tried to sue the lead jailbreak devs but a recent court ruling that determined that you are free to do whatever you want with your device stopped them. Apple are notorious patent trolls and I suggest anyone who pursues it have a good lawyers number.

[HTC Aria General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I recently sent my daughters ARIA in for a screen replacement. The repair shop was in Texas and did a good replacement (of the screen) but messed up the phone. Sense we have gotten the phone back the proximity sensor only works in extremely bright light (the repair shop says it was faulty when it came into their shop and that I would have to pay to have it repaired:mad:). At times it won't come back on unless the battery is removed. I have been reading that the prox sensor is a somewhat sensitive item with HTC's. It would appear this is a common problem after repair, with many HTC models. Does anybody have steps on how to rectify this problem or does anybody recommend a repair service that is know to be able to fix this issue?
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
That sucks that they are not taking responsibility for the problem, especially since it is actually a pretty common issue for the proximity sensor to stop working properly after replacing the digitizer. I doubt the sensor itself is damaged. Most likely the problem is that they didn't get everything lined up exactly right when they put the new digitizer on.

If I were you, I'd probably try to force their hand and make them fix it, but if you can't get them to do it without having to pay for it, then instead you might consider disabling the proximity sensor on the phone. A less drastic thing you can do is to set the phone so that the proximity sensor is only used when the phone is held vertically (i.e. up to your ear) and not horizontally (like when you're holding and looking at the screen). This is possible with the CM6/CM7 ROMs but I don't know if it is in the Sense ROMs.

Is your phone rooted? If not, are you willing to root it for this purpose?
[HTC Aria General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Agreed what i did, because of there lack of offering to fix there problem, was put a claim in through paypa.l Paypal then, made them refund my payment. So having them fix it now, is out of the question!

So there is no way for me to fix the sensor, nor have it fixed?

It's NOT part of sense
