[Thunderbolt General] nyvideo1:
I am visiting Orlando and have gotten much better battery life.

I am from Central NJ and work in NYC. At home in NJ I get a good 4G

signal but it keeps switching to 3G. I will lose 20% battery within an hour, and even with it on LTE only will lost battery. In NYC I get a sold 4G signal and it never switches to 3G, and there will still have to charge the phone within 4-5 hrs.

Where I am staying in NE Orlando Verizon coverage inside this house has always been poor for anyone phone. We need to go outside or the back porch for a decent call. 3G was getting no data so I switched to 4G. Even with 1 bar or no bars I had decent data. Yesterday we drove to Disney and I left the phone on CDMA+LTE so I would have data. As the day went on I was checking e-mail and also keeping an eye on battery. I had 3 bars in many places in Hollywood Studios and many time 1 or no bars. The phone stayed on 4G and I never once saw the phone change to 3G.The battery stayed all day. I made a couple of calls, texted lightly and received a lot of e-mail all day.

I had take the phone off the car charger at 10am, and at 10pm still had 45% battery left. This is far better than I have ever gotten in my home area.

Even though my usage was lighter I never would get anywhere near this in the NY/NJ area even with almost no use.

Has Verizon changed anything or has anyone else noticed a difference in other areas? Like everyone else I have been leaving my phone on 3G only to save battery.

My wife took her Evo to the Sprint store to get a new cover for her phone. She set her phone on the counter to get a credit card when a Sprint employee grabbed her phone and hooked it up to a computer. Any ideas on what they did..... btw she is rooted and now recovery is acting all screwey. Thanks in advance.

Dave
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
How long was it on the computer?

They may have run SLATE on it, which goes through all settings in the device to check for errors and battery saving methods. It shouldn't screw with recovery but it WILL NOT work on a rooted device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdave12118:
She said it was pretty quick. Maybe the saw the super user icon or whatever and didn't do it. But her recovery is acting weird.... when I hit reboot it goes to the cwm icon and I have to do a battery pull to power down. Not a big deal I can still backup, restore, flash etc but can't power down from recovery screen.

I would be pissed, if someone grabbed my phone and just stared hooking it up and messing with it without my permission I would be talking to a supervisor and complaining. They have no right to do that.

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yea, I think that feature was implemented in the last update of the xda app. It definitely has not always been there. I just figured it out a short while ago myself! It comes in handy, for sure. Burn up those 5 thanks per day even quicker! Haha.

And yea, why the heck did the employee just grab it and hook it up??! Did he ask for permission? My anger level would not have remained low.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdave12118:
Yeah my wife was pretty pissed off. She just told me it was someone training at the store. My wife is a softy also. Me???? I wouldn't have asked for a supervisor..... I would have jumped over the counter. Lol

I get pissed if my charge cycle is interrupted never mind some schmohawk touching my device without authorization. if i bring my phone anywhere for any reason(a store, etc.) it does not leave my sight and i refuse to let it. if i have to walk out cause they wont or cant do the work in front of me, so be it. lotta private, personal info on one's mobile.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
While the techs at the Sprint store were working on my phone, they had another phone that someone had left with them so they could move everything over to their new one (or something to that effect). There were nudie pictures that the dude had taken of his girlfriend, and instead of just looking past that & moving the files, they were actually looking at the photos. They told me that they get that a lot - people bring in their phones with dirty pictures of their girlfriend and ask them to move them over. I guess that's what you get for not knowing how to transfer files AND leaving said files with horny 20-something male employees. So you know they do look through people's phones instead of just doing their jobs.

But yeah, they shouldn't have just picked up the phone & started messing with it. Call Sprint and complain... if you complain enough you might get something out of it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chefdave12118:
What would I say? They effed up my wifes rooted Evos custom recovery? Her phone has been acting a little dopey since they did whatever they did.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
For your recovery issues... have you tried reflashing the recovery?

And I would definitely call up Sprint. You just tell them that your wife was in there, buying a case, and was getting her card to pay when they took her phone without asking or explanation and plugged it up. Tell them that buying a case is irrelevant to running tests on the phone and demand an explanation for it. Tell them that your phone is acting finicky and that it wasn't before they plugged it up. They'll have to explain for themselves or back into a deal. Oh how many times I have called, and they have offered something to make up for their mistakes....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
true.

im contract free because sprint sucks and i call them on it. ive also received hundreds in credits...your voice needs to be heard. dont feel bad about complaining...it may take many calls and many different reps but stick with it. escalate, escalate, escalate. also, dont forget the better business bureau is on your side.

i hope you(op) get this rectified to your satisfaction...

i myself am disheartened about sprint services being turned off, disabled or roaming agreements being terminated across the country and may switch to either other carrier.

That is what Photoshop is for!;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
heh...I meant I'm not sure how to get a themed wallpaper into a flashable zip. Like the ROM kitchen lets you make changes, then it creates a flashable zip for ya...(I'm sure you know all this) but I haven't figured out how to get that themed wallpaper to flash with those changes.

Hello,

I am trying to port the Honeycomb Lockscreen to Galaxy S. I have almost got it working.

The new Lockscreen uses android.animation classes which are of API Level 11 and they belong to Honeycomb. I had no other option other than implementing those new Animation functions into Gingerbread framework of Galaxy S.

The new ported animation functions seem to be loading, but there is a Problem. One of the class requires access to Native function, which is not registered in the libandroid_runtime.so. Hence for this I need to edit the libandroid_runtime.so, so that these native functions are loaded during boot.

Since the above file is in Binary format, I wanted to edit it and add the new native function registers so that it loads up during boot. Any idea how i could edit the stock samsung libandroid_runtime.so and get it working?

Can I recompile the sources from samsung to achieve this? I have downloaded the source from Samsung, but I don't see any lib folder in it.

Please help me. I am very close to this and totally clueless about how to proceed.

Thanks!

Don't you need Radio-Off to flash radio?

S-off and ENG S-off is for roms only I think.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

Check out that guide aswell :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
You require s-off to flash custom ROMs and kernels. You require ENG S-off to flash a radio.

Edit: To quote from the above thread "After running this tool, you can flash any ROM and kernel to your device using ClockworkMod"

To quote from the same thread FAQ:

"Q: Why is this Radio Tool, does it flash a radio?

- From end user's view, it has nothing to do with radios, the name comes from the S-OFF technique this tool uses."

"Q: I tried to flash a radio, but it says not allowed!

- You will also need ENG S-OFF to flash radios, because ENG S-OFF enables fastboot commands"

Maybe pay to actually have a read of actually what your posting first, and if you'd read a few post's earlier, the OP said he was already ENG S-off? ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterDer:
Read on another forum about radio-off. Didn't know eng s-off was the same, sorry.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
No, its not the same. I know it can be hard to get your head around it at first, But if you ENG S-off, you will also need S-off first. If you have both, Bootloader will show only ENG S-off.

Edit: assume the op has managed to flash the radio?.. as we haven't heard back.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterDer:
I read the other thread about Radio-Off and ENG S-off and I think I got a hang of it now :D

I have both so that's why I got a bit confused. Good to learn new things everyday ;)

What could possibly cause battery tl go down 25% in 8 hours while in airplane mode screen turned off???

I used autostarts to stop anything from starting up on its own. If this is a bad idea what should I re-enable?

I looked in spare parts and battery usage but I can't really make sense of it. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
25% in 8 hours is pretty darn good. Besides, isn't the autostart app using power to constantly stop apps from automatically starting?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I don't know what autostart is but I think it may be the problem.

I think something is wrong. I don't lose that much when I go into airplane mode.

Edit: OP, check spare parts for partial wake usage and see if there are any rogue apps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
If my phone was in airplane mode with screen off for 8 hours, I wouldn't lose more than 5 %. Hell, I only lose 5% with screen off over 8 hours, even with my radios on.

If he was using it, that's way different, but I picture "airplane mode with screen off for 8 hours" to be like if the phone was idle on the night stand, during a night of sleep. In that case, 25% is excessive, IMO. Autostart would be my first thought, I'd ditch it.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TD22057:
FYI I had a more extreme version of this happen to me on an airplane. Battery started dropping at like 1% every 20-30 seconds after enabling airplane mode. I killed every task I could find and it stopped. Seems like it's caused by an app that isn't checking for airplane mode before trying to make a connection. Never figured out what app it was but something similar could be causing the problem here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge561:
Re-enable everything in autostarts and delete the app. Boot into recovery and wipe your battery stats, cache, and dalvik-cache. Turn off the phone and take the battery out for like 5-10 minutes and leave it somewhere without heat, like a dark closet. Put the battery back in and boot up the phone, turn on airplane mode and see if it does the same thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
so you guys think autostarts could be causing the problem? from the way I understood the application, it does not run in the background - just modifies entries in the android system to avoid triggers calling programs.

That said thanks for the suggestion and I will try it out!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge561:
