Was wondering for android devices if having wifi on is best for the power.. as phones use power trying to find better signals. I have a wifi, and a good signal at my house, what should i use?

And also for battery life, when i hold the off button, there is an option to turn Data network on/off, if i turn it off, do i save power? Thanks!

Also.. is it bad for my phone if i swap between 2 batteries that have different levels of power on the at the time? like 40% and 90%? Thanks!
[General Accessories] mmegalodon:
If you're at home with WiFi then turn it on and kill mobile data. WiFi can save more juice even if you don't necessarily have poor reception at your house. Your voice is still active. It's not like airplane which kills all the radios. But you can do that as well and still connect to WiFi.

As for the battery switching, I don't see why that would be an issue.
[General Accessories] MacaronyMax:
When out of range of Wifi, turn Wifi off, When in range turn it on for best battery life :)
[General Accessories] Deleted member 2182971:
There's an app called WiFi Status that I use. When you go out of a wifi range, it notifies you to remind you to turn off wifi. Saves a lot of battery, as wifi isn't constantly scanning.
[General Accessories] lonestarranger:
I think it's justified to make it stay on for smartphones. And my Atrix's battery life sucks. Irony is - it seems to be the best smartphone battery (for an Android device, yet).

And honestly, smartphones' battery benchmark tests should only be done with Wi-Fi turned on..
[General Accessories] staveandor:
I use an app called Y5 https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.polidea.y5&feature=search_result. The app can record your wifi zone, and will disable wifi when out of range, and re-enable when in range. It saves me time and energy when I get home from work.
[General Accessories] kidqian:
use wifi at home.
[General Accessories] JP35:
Yes turn on wifi only when needed.

[Xoom General] DroidHam:
So those haters saying 25,000 Xooms were sold were WRONG

Motorola released earnings today...

http://phandroid.com/2011/04/28/mot...xoom-tablets-shipped-increase-in-net-revenue/
[Xoom General] atoy74:
Glad to see the analysts were wrong. If Moto shaves a little off the price is think they'll fly off the shelves.
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
ya, 450-500 would really compete with the transformer, esp when all the people get to best buy and see its sold out
[Xoom General] almostinsane:
Actually you are wrong. They shipped 250,000, they did not sell 250,000.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Actually, that's money in their pocket, they sold 250k. Verizon and brick and mortars are the ones who haven't sold 250k.
[Xoom General] androidlurker:
You don't quite understand the concept as it applied to a public company releasing quarterly results. Why are you so intent on pooping on these threads? Does it piss you off so much that xoom sales weren't as bad as the apple slavelords demanded you to believe?
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
Glad to see the numbers reflect reality. The wifi xoom is sold out in retail stores here in st. Louis. Had to order it online
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
seriously, shipped or sold, every store in Montréal has sold all xooms and accessories since day one...
[Xoom General] muyoso:
I don't think you need to have an "apple slavelord" to see that the article that the OP linked to says in the TITLE that:

"Motorola Reports 250,000 XOOM Tablets Shipped"

and then the OP creates a thread that says:

"250,000 Xooms sold, NOT 25,000

So those haters saying 25,000 Xooms were sold were WRONG"

Its called reading comprehension. And yes there is a major difference between shipped and sold. If Motorola SOLD 250k tablets, then there would be significantly more in stores ready to be sold and various retailers would have to adjust their purchase orders from Motorola to compensate for that demand. If they SHIPPED 250k tablets, stores might have only sold 100k meaning that future orders for new Xoom's from Motorola will be slower as retailers have overstocked the item and can shift inventory from one location to another to compensate. That is why there are two separate words and they are not interchangeable.

Also, the entire point of this thread and especially dumb comments like yours, is to prove that the Xoom is popular among consumers. This article does nothing to help prove that point, as it gives ZERO sales figures. Who cares if Motorola shipped 5 million Xooms if consumers only bought 50 of them. I don't really understand why you would even want to bring up an issue like this as you will never "win" against Apple and the entire conversation is stupid to begin with. Who cares how popular your device is among consumers?
[Xoom General] IXIKelsonIXI:
I have no doubts that Xoom sales are good, but they are right. They shipped 250,000 units, that doesn't mean that 250,000 were sold to consumers--which is the important number to note.

Again, no doubts that Xoom sales are great, but jumping on a guy who is just pointing out a fact, calling him an Apple fanboy, etc, really not necessary.
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Random comment to help re-leave the tension: Tomorrow's sales are yesterday's sales today.
[Xoom General] Smokexz:
To be honest, why do we care how many sell? It's not like Motorola will stop supporting the

Xoom if nobdoy buys more. Still it's nice to know they had some sort of confidence in this device.

Sent from my Xoom
[Xoom General] martonikaj:
People like to justify their Xoom purchase. They wanna prove its selling well and that their purchase was good. They wanna know that everything's gonna be okay with their Xoom, so they're going to want to prove that other people are buying it too.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
They technically are sales figures for motorola, but they are not sales figures for verizon, costco, and any of the other countless retailers out there. At no point did the person you respond to say anything about apple, all he said were that people claiming only 25k had been sold were inaccurate, and he is right. This does in fact prove that the xoom has sold better than expected because those retailers don't keep that many units sitting in storage, and they certainly wouldn't keep ordering the tablet if it wasn't selling. I know for a fact that the tablet was fairly popular simply because they sold out in all the retail locations near me. I had to drive nearly an hour and half away just to find a best buy that had them in stock. This was the second week the xoom was out. Anyway you can get all bent out of shape if you want but the xoom was not as big as a flop as you seem to want it to be.
[Xoom General] DroidHam:
Motorola ships 250k to vendors = sales for Motorola, no?

The link was regarding Motorola's sales, which were 250,000. "Shipping them to vendors" is the same as selling them.

I never once talked about how many best buy, walmart, or any other store sold.

I said they shipped 250k, which means they sold 250k.

Did I miss something here? Why is this hard to comprehend?
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Some people just don't understand how a supply chain works, especially a J.I.T. one (typically what the US has is J.I.T.)

JIT = Just In Time. Most if not all any more, Major Retailers work off Just In Time, meaning the only stock they truly carry in store is what is sitting on the shelves, or what is soon to be on the shelves. This also means a stores warehouses, are nothing more than emptying Tucks A, B, C and D's contents into trucks E,F,G, and H. There is no physical inventory of anything, it is almost literally straight from manufacturer to sales floor.

JIT does several things:

1) In the event of an issue with a product (recall), the retailer has a very limited inventory to rope in.

2) Reduces Cost

3) Reduces storage space (See #2)

4) Reduces the volume a store actually purchases at one time (Again see #2, less items in the clearance bin) This also makes their financial figures looks a ton better due to the lower over head.

Motorola doesn't front the product to the retailers and say "Hey, pay me when you sell all these" - no, they have to recoup production cost - which means they probably have a net15-net30 contract with most retailers (meaning, 15-30 days to pay or your cut off the supply flow) regardless of how many units the retailer actually sold.

Now it is true that we don't know how many of these are in the hands of customers actually being used. Only Big G and Moto probably have any clue about that number. I would venture to guess, because retail stores don't keep "Stock" piled in the back - most of them are in the hands of customers.
[Xoom General] tumbes20000:
I work at a retailer and that is generally correct. You only want enough stock to get you through until the next shipment, ideally. There are times you load up, when demand is expected to be high and the manufacturer has had issues keeping the supply chan full-looks at nintendo.

You certainly don't want to have a lot of an unpopular product so when sales are unknown you go conservative. Our you end up like the nintendo 3ds in the us. It should have sold well, did not and now you have a crap ton of these things you can't give away.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I would take one for 1/4 the price....#justSayin

:rolleyes: Silly Nintendo :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Actually, to add a bit of circumstantial evidence, which I'm aware doesn't mean much, there are a lot of people that know what the Xoom is. I have my Xoom with me at all times, it's my data device, I got rid of my Droid and moved to a dumbphone. Anyways, everywhere I go, people recognize instantly it's not an iPad and usually ask me if it's a Xoom. People are actually interested in it and I've had many chances to demonstrate it's capabilities to people. There's a lot of interest, even if it doesn't translate directly to sales yet. I feel like the attention I get with my Xoom is likened to the attention the early adopters of the iPad got.

Also, you've not addressed my previous post.
[Xoom General] androidlurker:
The problem is, he didn't just state it in this thread, he stated it in the thread I started before earnings were released.

And it isn't about reading comprehension. It is about understanding how a public company reports. Apple gets to say that they sold every i-whatever that was shipped to an app,e store because apple gets to control how an apple store reports what it is selling. Motorola does not get to control what best buy states, as they are separate companies. Best buy will not allow motorola to ship more xooms than best buy is able to sell unless best buy is able to ship back unsold inventory. Motorola is a tier one producer, and it will not enter into retail agreements that are contingent on mass adoption - they don't need to.

When motorola ships a product, it is a sale for motorola. When the entity motorola shipped to agreed to the shipment, it is because that entity has projected the entire inventory to be sold at some point in the very near future.

Motorola is precluded by FINRA from overstating sales figures in quarterly reports. Motorola cannot count shipped units as sold if the inventory shipped is not sold or accounted for as sold. If moto says shipped, consider it as sold. And while I doubt you will take my word as gospel, just know that my job in the real world depends upon my ability to understand what a company is saying in quarterly reports.

You can find the complete system folder from galaxy s 2. I tried to install email.apk and video editor.apk but it doesn't let. I also copied them in system/apps folder but still doesn't show up in the app drawer.

I don't know why it can't even install. Maybe someone has to port it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] falcon3053:
The interface and functionality is superb for Video Maker on the S2. The only problem -- and it is a big problem -- is that the transitions do not work at all well. It's not at all smooth doing a dissolve, for example, and even just cutting between two clips on the timeline, and rendering into one movie, causes the second clip on the timeline to start from a "paused" position for a second, when it should be a competely smooth transition from one moving clip to another moving clip. Really hoping Samsung can fix this ... it's v v smooth on imovie for iphone4 with lesser hardware.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] landale:
I thought I had read somewhere that the Galaxy S II had custom controls over the lights under the capacitive buttons. I take it that can't be used to show notifications without a custom kernel though?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] NeoVR:
It works.. BUT. When noled is on and displaying, it keeps the phone awake which rubbed out 70% of my battery in 6 hours..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] padlad:
It was the first app i installed, have this on my Galaxy s also. I have always had noled set to turn off after 30 minutes if the phone is not used. I figure if you have not looked at your display for 30 minutes, then there is no point in having it continuing on, also, you can have it set the phone to minimum brightness when it is on, so battery consumption is not that bad. Works great though, best app developed for these Samsungs.

Hi there,

Has anyone got this to work for emails? I have several Email accounts set up, but the only one that shows in the email list is the Google one. I have tried putting watches on the Email app(s). With no joy.

Any tips?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] padlad:
For any email accounts other than gmail you have to open up 'Toggle notifications' which then should pop up asking you to enable noled in the accessibility settings. After that, just scroll down the list and enable 'Email'. If, like me, you have 2 email check boxes, just enable them both. Works great, with no problems
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hshah:
I read this as well...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] padlad:
The only controls you have for the capacitive lights is how long they stay on for when you are using the device.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BlueScreenJunky:
Which means that the software can somehow control the lights (telling them how long they should stay on), so with a custom kernel/ROM it should be possible to use them as notification lights.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Bart1981:
On the SGS though, there was a mod which used the bottom lights of the device... So maybe somebody can port that mod to the SGS2???
