it is a great app... it regulates all of your connections in which if you were to use your wifi, then turn off your screen, juice defender will turn it off, but it will turn it back on when you unlock your phone... its great, highly recommend

It's a neat idea in theory but if you go with the free version it really sucks for trying to stream internet radio like sirius or Pandora.....when the screen is off it shuts off your data connection so radio apps stop playing... just a heads up

Its a great app, you have to get the paid version though. There's so many features it's a little overwhelming lol According to the app itself I get about 1.86 times my normal amount, which turns out to be around 15-24 hours depending on usage.

[Intercept General] peridot10:
I have the Virgin Mobile Intercept with 2.2 and I would like to root and use a custom ROM. I have been searching everywhere on how to do it, but all I'm finding is either how to root an intercept running 2.1 and how to upgrade to 2.2. So my question is can I follow the 2.1 root instructions or is there a link that tells how to root if your phone already has 2.2? Also what are some good ROMs to consider. Any link or advice is appreciated :D

Now, a big issue I have with WP7 is the integration with my mac. Now the WP7 for mac transfer program is 100000 times better than Zune, and much faster.

The only issue I have right now is I want to get my contacts off my phone, and onto my mac and put into address book.

Where I can mix them and organize them in my address book, then put them back on my phone.

Anyone have an idea how to do this?
[General Questions and Answers] jeanclaudevandamme:
so i've bought myself a samsung galaxy s2, or i-9100, supposedly the best phone on the market, but ive only used nokia keypad phones before, and I'm pretty sure i'm not using my new phone to its full potential.

some questions, what is rooting? i get the idea it lets me do whatever i want?

if I root my phone, does that wipe my Operating System (gingerbread 2.3.3?) and all settings and installed things? Does it also wipe user data like texts or photos?

what's a kernel, or kernel version, kernel source code etc...?

I want to get rid of some of the samsung branding software, because i can't see an option to install them. but some features like swype i like, can i "selectively" debrand the phone?

The general point of what I want is I want my new phone to work like my computer, uninstall programs i don't want and install ones i do want. (i've only ever used Windows) But i don't seem to understand almost everything on this forum :(
[General Questions and Answers] zookeeper525:
Rooting your phone allows you to change roms, boot up themes and will let you remove most apps and allow you to get some you can't have with out root axx, but most roms already remove the carrier bloat ware. It will remove all your apps etc though and txt. Think of it like reinstalling your os on your pc, rooting your phone will make you admin on your phone instead of a normal user.

You can also underclock your phones cpu to save some battery life if you want when it's rooted.

You can just move your photos to your pc/sdcard...

Point is though, rooting your phone is worth it give yourself some time getting use to it maybe read up on it on here there are tons of great tuts to show you and explain things to you.
[General Questions and Answers] BigBadBuddy:
Like @zookeeper525 said, rooting gives you full access to your phone. The process does not erase data or settings. You can root on a stock ROM, then flash a rooted custom ROM. There are a lot of good ROMs out there, and you can usually get great performance and improved battery life from a custom ROM. Every device is different, so your experience may vary.

A kernal is the core of the Android operating system. Custom ROMs come with a kernal that has usually been tuned for their specific ROM, but there are also custom kernals available that have even more features (overclocking, underclocking, undervolting, etc.).

With any of this, you stand to gain lots of control over your phone, but can also brick it if you're not careful. My advice is read, read, read, then read again before you proceed.

Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
Historically, before a wipe I run a TB batch and backup all my user apps. Then after I put on the new rom, I drop on the full version TB and do a batch reinstall. Unfortunately this doesn't reset my screens, and it's a pain in the butt.

I'm wondering two things:

1. I saw this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=965594 and I wondered if this works on Gingerbread roms (no reason it shouldn't, right? but I can see going from Froyo to GB it may not...) (Also, I don't see a way for TB to restore home screens, am I missing something?)

2. I've cheated before and dropped some non-provided system apps directly into the system-app folder. If you drop your favorite app .apk's into the system-app folder within the rom zip, will it install them even though that's the protected folder?

Really, it's just time consuming to reinstall all the apps and reset the home screens, especially when Mix Master Mikey drops a new GR version approximately every time I get the last one updated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Updating home screens is a pet peeve of mine too.

I have been using SGS tools going from each release of GR to the next. But, it only works with touchwiz.

Now I'm on Mosaic (seems more stable but TW 3 instead of 4) it mostly worked, except Widgets.

This is the reason I don't even use 3 screens .... too much a pain to reset every few days.

I wish there was a better universal solution to this problem.

I use launcher pro and my apps are all in place when I restore that. I believe also if you go to restore apps and system data deselect everything then press data only then select the green items one of those will put ur apps back in place. That is what I do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
All right. I've been toying with launchers for a while, right now I'm on Zeam, I've used launcher pro and ADW in the past. ADW had the ability to restore screens, I suppose I should look more into that. I like how Zeam lets you put 0-7 icons in the dock and lets you auto-center them, but I suppose I can find a good alternative.

Right now I double-tap to get my dialer, swipe up for apps and down for notifications and it seems to work pretty well. I'll get my fiddle on this next week.

Thanks again.
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] stan.s:
I ran some tests on two different usb cables, and the supplied USB device from Lexar that came with this card using Crystal Disk Mark 3.0.1

I setup CDM as follows:

1. 5 reiterations of 100mb for testing.

2. The same USB port on my PC was used for all tests. This was a powered USB hub.

3. The two wire tests were with the card in the X10a running SE 2.1 update-1

4. The third test was done with the card in the Lexar usb device that came with the card in the same port that the wires were connected. Sorry that the drive letter changed.

One cable was a Belkin retractable cable, with thin flat wires, not shielded, no ferrite core, cost about $5.

One cable was the SE-OEM cable, with thick rubber cover, possibly shielding around cable and a ferrite core.

Look at the cable tests, sometimes the cheap Belkin was just as fast writing as the OEM; I think it's within the margin of error, for the test. I don't want to burn out my cards with hundreds of tests to work out the variation. What it really shows is that the cards will transfer. read/write better outside the phone - but you knew that already.

The Kingston class 4 32G was put into the Lexar usb holder rather than the usb holder that came with it for the test. Read speed is surprising isn't it? But the Kingston is much slower in the write and doesn't perform as well when installed in the X10a than the external test. Also the Kingston is 95% full, not as empty as the Lexar since I use it to play some of the 4500 songs on it in the car. This MAY have a bearing on the write tests, but there's at least a Gig of open space, and the test was only 100mb.

Here's a surprise, the Sony 8G Class 4 card that came with the phone, just as good as a class 10! Put into the Lexar reader, too.

[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] Eugene1991:
Furthermore, now the ROMs have the SD Card Speed Boost mod.
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] stan.s:
I have that, it's significant for read speeds, but it's not in place when the SD card is a mount point on another computer; the SD card can't be used by the phone. So if you have apps or icons (as I do) on the SD card, when I mount it, the running apps can't locate the needed icons for the home screen, etc.

I read bad things about the Lexar, data corruption and write speeds 10MB/s.

Because of that I bought the Patriot 32GB Class 10, which writes @ 10.5MB/s in my phone.

Bad thing is that the Patriot costs around 10€ more.
[Sony Xperia C4 Questions & Answers] stan.s:
I have a Lexar 32G Class 10 as well as the Kingston 32G Class 4. The Lexar write speeds are fantastic, and I don't feel any lag like I do with the Kingston. and in some months of use, I've had no problems or errors. I keep most stuff pretty matched between the two, but have all my music on the Kingston which is on that tiny usb reader in the photo of the unit. It's a 'charm' on on my keychain. Nothing like having 32 extra gig handy.

:D Every time I write this stuff, I remember the first commercial computer I programmed on - outside of college; the hard drive was as big as a tire and 256mb. It only had 48K of memory (but you could program as if it had 64K) and 32 people could work on it at the same time. No one thought at the time that anyone a) needed 32G or that it would b) be the size of a thumbnail.

I thought the issue with 1.9 PRI causing bad battery life was that certain combinations of custom ROMs or Kernels didn't play well together. Out of the box, I think a 1.9 PRI should play well with everything else that came in the stock ROM.

Not saying you shouldn't consider rooting anyway, but if it's just to downgrade PRI, I wouldn't think you would need to do that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Yes, you can downgrade, but you're going to have to root her phone first. If you root it, you can download PRI 1.77_003 from the link below. You will have to flash it from recovery.

Now, being that your mom "just got one", give her new phone time to settle. Don't rush off to downgrade her PRI. The EVO, when properly charged, can give a decent battery life depending on her usage. You may have to charge her phone until the LED turns green, wait 60 seconds, charge again until it's green and repeat the process until it stays green after 60 seconds of being unplugged. That is my routine for very good battery life. There are others. Give it a try.

All you have to do is delete the partition table and remake the partitions with a program such as fdisk. AFAIK the internal memory is just one (or two) flash chips that are partitioned off and mounted to separate directories. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's all you have to do.
