[G2 and Desire Z General] pearse:
I've been noticing the same odd battery usage on cm7.0.3. the past few days, getting 32% for cell standby and 25% phone idle :S. I've never really had usage this high for any rom except cm7, usually its my display around 80%.

I'm still getting average battery life (~18hrs on a charge) but nothing like the amazing battery life with rmk's g-lite 1.0.2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Allmaechtig:
I am wondering if i can flash a custom kernel over my stock 2.2 Rom? So that i can change the boot animation splash screen along with maybe overclock/undervolt. But mostly i want the bootanimation.zip splash screen. Any way i can do this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You can do that using Odin (not the one click).

I suggest you go check AdamOutler's video on how to flash a kernel from stock 2.2. It is well explained and will work on every kernel that has cwm recovery in them (speedmod, ursa minor, onix.. etc).

Post your uptime here. Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Up Time

e.g. 16:48:10

And does your uptime correspond to the last time your booted your phone? (If not, your phone has rebooted without you noticing it.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tgernon:
Phone rebooted as I was looking up its uptime... guess I'm off the list
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Camille68:
Uptime - 39:23:52, which is the last time that I let my battery completely die before charging it. I've never had my phone reboot, and I've had it since release day.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] SurgeCentral:
No reboots, but my phone has frozen while it was charging =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Barrnone:
So far I have not noticed any reboots. Uptime now is 91:32:10 and that would be about the last time I manually rebooted the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Just download uptime widget. It will display your current uptime and the longest uptime you've had. Very handy if you suspect reboots.

[HD2 General] promitheas73:
Hi there

My hd2 recenlty cause me trouble not charging. After a little try and no luck i decided to sent it back for repair.

So the question: how can i restore the phone to warranty status?

I' already flash the stock rom twice. Via activesync and then from sd card. Finally a hard reset is made just in case. Do i have to do anything else? Does anybody has prior experience with warranty issues?

Thx, in advance.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you have flashed the stock ROM for hour HD2 via SD card then you should be good to go for warranty reair. Just boot into bootloader to make sire you now have SPL o

not HSPL still. You ahould have SPL though now.
[HD2 General] promitheas73:
Ok, i have SPL. Thx mate

could somebody recommend a good facebook app? preferably something with a widget? thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
What are you looking for to make it "good"? Facebook has a good Facebook app.

So far as widgets, the Launcher Pro Premium version has great widgets for both Twitter and Facebook.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimzip:
I think the OP is looking for an facebook widget.

My vote for the Launcher Pro widget.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
Colorize widget is pretty good. It's a little more customizable than Launcher Pro, but I prefer LP the best.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madguitarist63:
Try the launcher pro widget thats what I use and an app called flow just for using facebook. I also like facebook apps widget so its all personal preference. I'd try flow's app in the market I personally like using it more than the facebook app

Just installed the samsung drivers on my fairly old PC because my laptop decided to break..

Anyway everything installed PC recognises my kies/mass storage/ADB etc

But when i go to flash a rom in odin it doesnt recognise download mode!

Nothing happens what so ever, and it normally says 'added'

So im kinda confused :/

p.s Yes i have reinstalled the drivers and cleared cache and temp and other crap like that, lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zidz:
I had that problem erlier. I didn't have a Windows-machine at home to use KIES and Odin with, use Linux normaly so I took a older computer and installed Windows at it to flash my beloved SGS.

But that computer didn't recognized my phone i Download mode either, but all other modes worked. After some time I'd saw that the USB ports wasn't Hi-speed. So I tried to put in a PCI card with USB Hi-speed ports and with those it works.

Maybe your USB ports aren't Hi-speed?

Hope this may help.

[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] kdub1987:
new to wp7 and just got an omnia 7 from germany, though it has an annoying tmobile splash screen and search in the explorer app. I cant update to nodo, and it wont let me go into download mode so iv ordered a jig, but i was wondering, are there any roms that are debranded, able to update to nodo and will keep my phone unlocked? the phone was new and sealed and was unlocked if this makes any difference?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xdamir:
As far as I know, Samsung have pulled out the NODO update. You may still update through ChevronWP7 Updater, not sure whether it would make any difference afterwords. Apparently, XEN, BSE and DBTJK1 are all unbranded Roms that are available from samfirmeware.com. You can unlock your stock Rom as well as all of the unbranded ones using Chevron, but you wont be able to get Nodo on any of the Roms for the moment as it is not officially available.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheChozen:
Not officially available? Did I miss something?

I flashed my O7 with the XEN-Rom, and immediately received the Post-NoDo and the NoDo, when connected to Zune?

This is for "3" in Denmark, but have I missed something about the "availability"?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] kdub1987:
are there any downsides to the chevron? like being blocked from future updates?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] xdamir:
You must have updated before 13th April, and NODO has not been available for Omnia 7 ever since. Interestingly enough, some one mentioned that it is Omnia 7 that is the point of dispute between Apple and Samsung and till that gets settled we are to suffer.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] TheChozen:
Yeah, just did a little diggin' ....what a shame!

I hope that it's "just" because of a dispute, and not "unknown issues/problems" as mentioned here and there :o/
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] StevieBallz:
As mentioned yesterday in a Microsoft comment on the Windows Phone Blog the rollout for the Omnia 7 was halted due to technical problems with the update package. Testing and repackaging seem to be progressing nicely so we can hope the update will be made available again soon.

Still makes me wonder what Samsung is doing to cause all this trouble. It was the same with the Pre-Nodo.
[Thunderbolt General] want a droid:
I'm on a college campus where my connection to wifi is continually going in and out based on my location.

I was wondering if anyone knew of an app that could do a good job controlling my wifi?

For example im currently using juice defender and it uses its location feature to determine whether or not wifi should be enabled. The problem is it is making each new latitude point a new connection.

I'm hoping someone will understand what I'm asking. Let me know if you need more information.
[Thunderbolt General] spyderman09:
I've been using Tasker and it's profile on WifiNear and Cell Towers - this has worked great for me and requires zero GPS input to figure out where I am. The only downside to this is that it likely wouldn't work for extremely close areas (since one cell tower can cover a wider area) and that you would have to purchase another pay app (Tasker). Anyway, I haven't toggled WiFi on or off when I am in or around my house - and never have to worry about turning it off for the commute to work, and back on at work,for about the last 7 months.

It looks kind of confusing, but the profile here at the Tasker wiki is what I used, and once I set it up (back in Nov.) I haven't had to alter a thing, and there is no impact that I've notice on battery (in fact, I presume that I've gotten better life since WiFi is turned off and not scanning when I don't need it)

Hope that helps.

[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
The entire thread is against the NDA. Get over yourself please.

You do realize that almost every android phone is locked, right? Save the few flagship devices, there really aren't many that aren't. Motorola is just the only one who does it worth a damn so that it doesn't get cracked a day after release.
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Actually that's my point. Htc keeps it easy so both developers and end users are happy. Motorola seems to work harder to lock it down than need be.

KefkaticFanatic maybe the guy is a little jealous that someone leak the update before get public, so he will not be the first to post a root process and get the donations $$$, but it seems he has his agenda already.

Tricky part of the email is “won't be able to flash back to previous versions”

So future road on the map will be gingerbreak root option
[Atrix 4G General] :
where do we sign up for these beta testings?
[Atrix 4G General] Ririal:
Yes, I'm an asshole. No, I don't care. :)

Most of my posts are just short, not aggressive. There is a difference. I'm a busy person and don't have time to sit and sugarcoat every response I make so that someone's feelings aren't hurt.

When the facts are right in front of you and you don't even bother to read them, then I get annoyed and a little aggressive, yes. In my experience, pleasant doesn't get results.

I won't be posting/watching this thread anymore. I reported it with my original post here, and it's up the mods at this point to care or not care. It's your choice whether or not to be respectful to Motorola and follow the NDA you agreed to, but failure to do so only shows that you can't be trusted, and that hurts the community as a whole. It's showing Motorola we can't even follow simple instructions. What reason do they have to meet our requests for a platform easier to work with? That's what this is all about, not some NDA you may or may not have even read.
[Atrix 4G General] stangy:
Hmm is it even possible to stop a SBF flash on a phone? Is it possible they are stating that you cannot roll back the update by any conventional uninstall methods?

[Xperia Play General] b4d5h0t:
Hi all im new to the forum and have a few questions about rooting my xperia play and wondered if some of you in the know could help?...

im interested in using gingerbreak v1.20 to do the root, i have read the tutorial and understand most of it and from what i have read on the forums other XP users have had varied success.

my questions are...

1. my phone is on a vodaphone contract and im not sure if its sim locked (to that specific network) and does this effect the root?

2. my phone had some kind of update downloaded to its software from vodaphone about 1 week ago gingerbread 2.3.2 build number 3.0.A.2.184 other people with this version root ok?

3. so just to clarify i was wondering if that update ive had has hindered my chances of the rooting also if my phone being locked to a specific network (e.g vodaphone) is a problem?

4. last but not least, if my phone fails to reboot after the rooting process, how hard is it to put it back to original version? (like do i need more software to fix the failure or can i just remove the battery wait 30secs and itll be back to normal)?

i know these may seem very basic questions to u veteran rooters, but id like to get involved i just wanna have more knowledge myself before i jump in, and would appreciate your feedback, loving my xperia play and i want to improve it and not brick it :confused:

cheers in advance
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
I am with tmobile and also received the ota update before I rooted.

SIM lock doesn't effect root.

I can tell you that the update won't effect running Gingerbreak at all.

You shouldn't have any worries using Gingerbreak as is.

It is purely an apk and will either successfully root your device or will not.

This is the easiest method of rooting i've ever used.

I was an android n00b when I got my hero & had to go through the method of creating a gold card & reverting to an older build & flashing flashrec!

To be honest, now my play is rooted in probably won't even bother using custom roms in the future.

I did all that with my hero and am happy with the plays UI.

I just wanted root to free up more space.

I'd also recommend researching setinstalllocation2 on here.

Doing this natively installs everything to sd and is worth the time.
[Xperia Play General] b4d5h0t:
cheers for the speedy reply DeadlyDazza, yeah id like to remove some of the stock rubbish to free up some space i was also hoping to do a small overclock, is this possible with a basic root? using the android overclocking apps?

im still nervous about the reboot and it not coming back on :S
[Xperia Play General] covux:
@DeadlyDazza did you use gingerbreak on an empty/formatted sd card like described in the tutorial or does it also work with a sd full of installed apps? ( i really dont want to delete all my apps and data)

cheers covux
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
I have a fair bit of installing custom Roms on Android phones and i can honestly say this -

Unless you are rooting the phone in order to help develop custom roms and tweaks there really is no point in rooting it at the current moment.

Gingerbread is excellent at managing apps and the Xperia Play is designed so that games run independently from your homescreen.

"Trimming the fat" will offer almost zero benefit at the moment.

My advice is to wait a while, let the experts put together some custom Roms and gain access to the Kernel, allowing us to overclock.

Until then, i do not see a reason to root at all.
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Unless you just, like me, wants to get rid of bloatware and ads in various apps and other benefits with root access ;)

+1 on liking the XP UI and don't want to flash and mod this phone as I did with my HTC desire hd :D

If you just want that, root it now and keep your locked bootloader and enjoy the XP as it is ;)

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Rooting does have many benefits, which mine was to free up more space on a device that, although is designed for gamers, seems to fall very short of.

Also to use root enabled apps such as cache mate.

Apart from the space issues, which have now been resolved by rooting & setinstalllocation2, I'm more than happy with my Xperia Play.

Will I be saying the same in 6 months? Probably not, I'll probably be wanting a fresher feel.

But that depends on how much support SE give the Play (my last device was the Hero & HTC was very slow with their support).

In answer to the question about running Gingerbreak with blank sd.

I had a spare 8gig that I formatted & used.

I didn't want to risk losing any data & couldn't be bothered to back up the 14gig on my card.

Although I have heard a few people say that running Gingerbreak is completely safe & won't erase any data.
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
Didn't erase anything on my sdcard when I rooted my XP, would still recommend a backup before using gingerbreak :) I was just lazy and went ahead without doing a backup. Did one today...

Regards Dousan...
