better battery with gingerbread

I've flashed the official gingerbread leak, battery life is much better. will test more in the next few days.

Cell standby still high (25%), but lower than it was on Froyo (50%)

ok so i see that the galaxy tab got a port of the honeycomb and i was wondering wat about us...do u think we might can get one too?

honeycomb is MADE for tablets, so don't expect it for our epics :(.

Is there even a honeycomb "port" of anything that's not a tablet?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magic Oreo:
not only does the evo have the devs and support but porting on htc phones is so hella easier, samsung does all this random stuff to the framework and such or something that makes everything harder :).

Not a developer (well I AM trying, but I am still very new. Like really really new). But why not? We have a good deal of people making ROM's for the epic. And by "weird things to the frame work", do you mean software wise? or hardware/software interfacing? Because if its just software, whoever eventually takes this on, would probably be better suited making the ROM from scratch. Correct?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Things like this are exactly why Google isn't releasing the honeycomb source code (yet). It's made for tablets, not phones. If you get an SDK port working it will run terribly.

The port to the evo is nothing but a "look it boots".

It is not useful and very laggy, I know because I ran it for all of 5 minutes before nandroiding back.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erismaster:
I have 2 droid incredibles. The first has water damage to the motherboard so i purchased a broken one online. after i had switched out the touch digitizer and the lcd(the working one is amoled) and put it on the good motherboard the phone will vibrate once and will not boot. using the cracked screen the phone came with it will boot all the way(i can hear it say droid). I am sure all the connections are good. I'm pretty sure both phones are the amoled model. the one i bought broken is an adr6300vw(original) and the water damaged one i have is an adr6300vw2(also amoled) the only thing i can think of is that the broken lcd phone was flashed back to stock using an ruu and was flashed for the slcd and not the amoled. if thats a possibility. if anyone has any insight or suggestions please help.

thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tspace75:
Had the same problem

I had one each, an incredible with a cracked LCD and an incredible with a cracked digitizer. Took the digitizer off of one, and replaced it, but put the wrong motherboard in. My edumicated guess is that the mother boards are programmed to a specific LCD screen and won't work apart from each other.

If I buy the phone in Canada from SonyStyle rather than Rogers, will the bootloader be unlockable?
[Xperia Play General] Laird_Attwood:
I would imagine that SonyStyle would sell 'generic' handsets rather than Rogers customized handsets. I guess you'd have to check with them to be sure.

hmm ok thanks about that.

Does anyone that works at a sonystyle know?

Just spoke with an associate from there and they will be carrying the Rogers version ONLY.

Ordered and waiting for my A7 to get to me :D

Do I...

Download ElocityMod v1.41 then Wipe/factory reset update with it

and then Download ElocityMod v1.42 patch and update with it without doing a wipe/factory reset or do I just update with 1.42 without 1.41?

(Sorry if this is a stupid question)
[A7 General] smallba:
Wipe everything and flashing 1.41

Flashing 1.42 over top of 1.41 without wiping, 1.42 is a patch.

Hope that helps

Im curious to know if anyone uses a custom kernel daily..

If you do, would you mind letting me know what kernel/rom versions your using and possibly battery life.

I've tried freekernel and freexperia but both have shocking battery use and is pointless to use daily.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brent0r:
would it be fair to say custom kernel for daily use isnt a good idea?

Anyone having any luck

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
I see scattered posts all over the forums about taking pictures with the G-Tab's camera - only to have them come out highly pixelated and very, VERY low resolution. It happens to me under CM7, and has been just as bad with other ROMs I've tried.

And taking videos is simply a non-starter. Freezes after 2 sec and nothing is saveable.

Has anyone come up with a solution/fix? Thanks!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
I believe the video recording issue is due to the lack of hardware drivers for video encoding/decoding for Gingerbread...
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
Definitely Video recording is because there are no hardware drivers available for gingerbread from what i read and for the camera you may want to try another camera app, but it could be related to not having hardware drivers.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
Makes sense...except for anyone with Gingerbread! :( Thanks, all.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
BTW, check out the latest CM7 nightly 42... the camera works great including video recording!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
(slapping forehead) I just went back to VEGAnTab to use the camera. #$@%#^&!

Okay...thanks! Back to CM7.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanaraya92679:
Is this a new release? Last cm7 i tested was nightlies 41 and cam/ video was all bugged up.

[edit]

WOW awesome they fixed this issue. I'm almost convinced to flash this back on my g tab and test it out again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
Well, sorry. Flashed and still very pixelated stills. Recording a video doesn't crash the app, but nothing in playback except inky darkness. Sigh.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
Video works "OK"... not great... pics are still pixelated tho!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toonvox:
Well that's not quite "the camera works great including video recording!!!" - is it, Craig? Come on, man. Test it before making declarations like that.

Sorry. A little peeved since I reflashed my tab for this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
yeah... it seemed to work great... I wasn't expecting great video quality, so it was what I expected... but the photos looked good in the Gallery app... but were pixelated when I viewed them on my PC...

really sorry for "semi-false" news!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albertgalpin:
Still no photo and video for GTab Ginger?

This really is too bad. I have Gingerbread on my GTab and the photo quality is terrible (pixilated) and the video does not work. The photos were really clear before I flashed to Gingerbread. I can't seem to find a satiffactory solution anywhere. Then there is the whole issue of video chat....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
gojimi is working on a fix for his VEGANtab ginger edition, no eta yet but like all things gingerbread, eventually it will work.

If you must have camera/video/hardware acceleration for video playback, stick with froyo based roms for now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] abakja1:
I flashed the ROM yesterday and noticed a couple of things.

When I went to People and did a contact search by name, the result came up with a black screen. I hit menu and I could edit the contact and the all the information would come up. I could dial from that point on.

Also, I had a call come in and the screen was blank with no contact info or incoming call on the screen.

Lastly, went to change the Theme on ADW Launcher, and when I switched Themes, a bunch of apps were opened and I had to back out or close everything. The web browser was one app that opened, and I had to hit the power button off, then back on, as hitting the back arrow would not close the app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
I had the odd call thing happen today as well. First and only time it has happened. The phone rang, or appeared to, yet when I went to grab the call there was no screen notification of any call and no way to answer it. To top is off, the phone app never showed either a missed call or a left voice mail. Made me wonder if instead of a call, it was a random triggering of my ringtone with no call behind it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] abakja1:
There are a few quirks that Im finding out.

Most annoyingly is that the phone does not have my contact number or cell number.

is there a way to fix this as Ive read its the SIM that needs to be identified and I guess flashing the ROM erased my identity to the Inspire when I did this?

I cannot use TiKL or people do not have my number appear on their phone if I call them....
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
So i am running the new radio that was leaked in the RUU a couple days back. I dont see any improvement in either battery life or reliability of my data connection nor is 4g/3G/1x/noG hand off any better. I live in pasadena ca, and trvl all through LA which is blanketed and EXCELLENT 4G coverage according to vzw.

anyone else? i am running das-bamf 1.5 remix. Also i just got a replacement phone this morning and still the same issues... Bleh. why cant people write radio code properly. Hire more proficient software engineers HTC!
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
Try just using stock. I used stock everything was a ton better then flashed das bamf and everything seemed to get worse. Just an idea.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Come on. How is it that others are seeing improvements, and that you are not is HTC's fault?

That, and its the FIRST LTE device. Early adopters get to deal with growing pains. Blame HTC all you want, but its no different than buying a 1st gen car.

I'm not trying to be rude, but how can you whine about this, when you arent even running official software?

[Thunderbolt General] Andehpwn:
I am experiencing a completely different situation, I'm just outside of downtown LA and travel to the valley fairly often. My battery life was good to begin with and since flashing the new radio, whilst staying on stock ROM, it has just gotten better.

Currently running on 25% battery, been off the charger for 23 hours with moderate usage.

If you wanna replicate what I have, feel free....

ROM: stock

Radio: latest leak.

Kernel: imoseyon battsaver 1.11v

Running juice defender.
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
well you are using all these battery saver stuff like juice defender which i refuse to use because i dont want my data connection to die after 5 mins of the screen being off. i may try another battery sipper kernel or something. the stock battery would never last me the whole day and even with the extended battery i see it go down about 8% an hour
[Thunderbolt General] slckofit:
Can't say anything really changed for me. I've been getting good battery life since I got my phone. With the new RUU, it's still the same.

I'm still only on 3g btw, no 4g in Sacramento yet.
[Thunderbolt General] whoisyasin:
i kno right
[Thunderbolt General] Andehpwn:
The TB snaps right on to 4G when I come out of screen lock. No issues here.

Definitely has to be something you're doing, cause the overwhelming consensus is that the battery life us improved.

Best of luck getting the most out of the phone though!
[Thunderbolt General] jasonxlee01:
I too am getting very good battery life with the new leak. my battery is currently at 52% and its been unplugged for 10 hours. I leave LTE always on. Ive been using it with moderate usage. Could it be a defective battery? Or maybe a poorly coded app thats draining the battery in the background?
[Thunderbolt General] nkd:
Using Tesla Coil 1.7 here and it works great. I never get reliable service at my house, dont know why even though it is blanketed with 4g according to verizon. I do get better coverage then I did with older radio.

I unplugged my phone at 10 in the morning and eleven hours later I am at 45%. Well at my house I drop out of 4g alot and thats when I loose battery when it keeps cycling between 4g and 3g, but outside and work, school, driving around I get great 4g, I do get decent 4g at home but not nearly as good as I get outside.

When I left home I was already at 85% battery so sitting for 40 mins after I woke up the phone went down 15% it is because if I forget to turn on wifi the phone will keep switching radios if I put it somewhere in my room where I get bad signal, lol.

I was at work for 9 hours and came back I still had 60% battery and I used it for moderately as well and 4g was on the whole time. and used it after I got home. Right now I have it sitting next to me with wifi enabled and the battery hasn't gone down even 1% in the last 15 mins. Plus I am overclocke to 1228mhz on the cpu.
[Thunderbolt General] cuguy:
I am kinda new to HTC and such but my advice for you is try to get a new phone from Verizon. There is a way to change back to stock ROM. On a side note, half your Max CPU speed and put it on conservative. That aught to save some juice with very very small compromise to your daily routine performance.

[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
I've seen a considerable increase in battery usage since the update... Here are my stats... Juice Defender is running but I DO NOT HAVE IT KILLING DATA when the screen is off. I like my data and I didn't buy the phone just to neuter it.

I live in a solid 4G spread and I don't use WiFi... My 4G is way faster than my cable hook up. :)

I am running the stock leaked RUU. I Only DeBloated it.

These are perfectly acceptable to me for a device of this caliber. This was an average day in the life of my TB.

[Thunderbolt General] Ovrclck:
I noticed yesterday evening my phone was dropping 4G constantly, usually it's spot on, maybe Verizon was tweaking the towers in Socal? Just an idea, it's fine for me today though. :)
[Thunderbolt General] crazed_z06:
The data connection being always on is what's killing the battery.

With all the battery tweaking Ive done, Ive determined that having the mobile data always on is the quickest way to drain your battery. At first I unchecked "always on mobile data" and that saved a bit of battery. Im using JD now, and saving even more.

I understand if you depend on Push notifications, this isnt a solution, but for me, nothing is so important that I need to get the notification right away. With data off, you get Calls and SMS when they come through and that's what really matters.

When you power the screen on, the data connection establishes and stuff comes through. What's nice with JD is you can have it turn on data periodically to let push updates come through.
[Thunderbolt General] ddarvish:
okay is this the stock battery or extended? what other settings on juice defender are u using then if it is not killing data which i thought was the biggest thing it does? those hours are insane.. i cant believe you are getting such great battery life without turning off your data.

BTW i know many people thing some rouge app or something is killing my battery but i looked at both my battery stats and spare parts and see nothing of the sorts. in addition i have had the same apps on my fascinate and OG droid and that was never issue on the phone.

just an update for the day i have used my phone for a few emails, listening to 15 mins of music via wired headphones and a 5min phone call ALL using the extended battery. my phone has been unplugged for 2hr40min and is at 88%
[Thunderbolt General] DroidTh3ory:
I have it set to manage my apps, what connects, when it connects, etc. It manages my display, WiFI, etc.

Other than that... Nothing. It is the stock battery. After flashing the RUU, I did calibrate the battery. Charged to full, deleted the battstats.bin file, unplugged and ran it back up to 100%.

I'm having the same problems as you on the east coast as well. I just got a new replacement phone from VZW because of battery issues and 4G dropping in and out even though I had full bars.

I think the rest of the guys are right in that it's probably some piece of software running in the background that's not playing nice with services somewhere causing the phone to stay partially awake.
[Atrix 4G General] fffourtwenty:
Hello everyone

I've had this phone for almost 30 days and so far, so good. Seems to be impossible to slow it down. I do have a few questions, however. Does anyone else have to take two pictures to get the digicam to focus? If I take a snap, the first picture is taken as-is, no focus. If I take a second snap of the same subject very quickly thereafter it seems to focus *then* take the snap. Common?

The display seems to be Corning-made GG For Mobile. If that's the case, why does my phone show many small, light scratches on the face after just 28 days' use? No keys or diamonds were in my pocket with the phone. Thanks for any responses.

D
[Atrix 4G General] xl DIGITAL lx:
For the scratching part of your question, it might be sand that scratched it. I read that sand can scratch gorilla glass displays.
[Atrix 4G General] Purple Drama Llama:
I read lint can too.
[Atrix 4G General] fffourtwenty:
so does your atrix show signs of minor hairline scratches like this on the display? i prefer to go without cases or other additions to the phone's original design, maybe it's time to bend the rules a bit

[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Studies have recently shown that its worst enemy may in fact be minute particles floating around in the air.

To the TC, I've had the same problems...I was all excited for this magical gorilla glass, so I left it naked for like 2 weeks after I got it. Numerous scratches appeared from seemingly no where, so you're not alone...
[Atrix 4G General] newter55:
The glass is not as resistent to scratches as the captivate. If it is gorilla glass, something is different between the two. I was testing the phone for the trial period and did not apply a screen protector. Wound up with scratches even though I was always careful with the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
The camera app does fail to focus on the first try for me too. Definitely a bug that they should fix, but for now I just hold for focus, slide away from button (to not take a picture), lift, hold for focus again, and then lift to take the first picture. :o
[Atrix 4G General] colin725:
My Gorilla glass has been great so far. Naked since buying it two days after release, no noticeable scratches.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Never had issues with my iPhone 3GS when I had it, and am not having issues with the glass in the Atrix. Both were/are naked. I wipe the screen very regularily to get prints, etc. off it, and always make sure it's a soft material that is very clean. (After 1-1/2 years and a full cycle wash in the washing machine, my iPhone still looked brand new all over, albeit after the wash cycle it became a paperweight).

I'm assuming people who suffer a lot of scratches aren't as careful as they say they are with their phones.
[Atrix 4G General] bongd:
Damn, what do you guys do with your phones? I rocked an Xperia for months and never scratched it despite dropping it. This Atrix screen is damn near indestructible compared to other screens I've had!
[Atrix 4G General] darklipslide:
My motorola milestone screen was practically unscratchable but I have a very deep scratch on my Atrix. However I will admit I got it in a freak accident, so I imagine under normal circumstances it should hold up pretty well
[Atrix 4G General] rsprec1:
This screen is really great. I'm a mechanic and I have my phone in my front pocket all day. When I'm under a truck and other vehicles, a lot of dirt usually falls in my pocket. When I take it out, my hands are dirty and greasy and I just wipe it off with my work shirt. I bought my Atrix around four days after it was released and the screen has always been nude. Don't have any scratches that I can see and the screen still looks great after a month of owing it.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
That's how it works: Tap and hold for focus until the frame turns green, then release and it takes the picture.
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
Thank you... apparently saying thats what I did implied I didn't know what I was doing.

It does not turn green the first time, ever.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
So if you tap and hold on the shutter button it never turns green? I misunderstood you I think. I thought you meant that if you just tapped it wouldn't focus. That's how mine works too, I have to tap and hold.
[Atrix 4G General] palmboy5:
When I first run the Camera app and tap and hold the shutter button, the camera will sometimes try to focus but after a second it just gives up. Other times it doesn't try to focus at all. Either way whatever focus it stopped at is incorrect and the framing at the center stays white instead of turning green. If I lift it will take an out of focus shot, so I slide off before lifting. Subsequent pictures while the app is still running focus fine.

I can reproduce this problem 100% of the time in rapid succession just by pressing Back and rerunning the Camera app.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
Mine doesn't do that. Sounds broke. I'd exchange it if possible.
