[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomicrat2552:
Hi there,

I got my Nexus S 4G today, and am noticing a very serious issue with it. While making any sort of screen input, the phone seemingly makes a random input (off and on). For instance, I might be typing a text message and press the 'H' and get 'hguygh' instead. Or it might open the notification drawer, or something of the like. I can't seem to find any similar issues either on the forum or by googling. Just a thought, but this didn't happen until after I installed CWM recovery and su.

Any help is appreciated
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughfitzgerald:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
That's interesting... did this only happen when it was plugged in? What charger were you using?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hobbescs:
I had that same issue, using a number of different non-stock chargers, until I switched to custom ROMs. So far I haven't had the issue with any of the other ROMs i've tried.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughfitzgerald:
It was only when it was plugged in, and only with the charger that came in the box with the phone. I switched to my work BlackBerry charger and all is good.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insight3fl:
I have had my tablet off the charger now for 1 day 14 hours and I have 61% battery left. I have used it periodically to read the paper and check email over the course of the least two days.

My settings include auto brightness, screen sleep after 10 minutes and wifi always on. I let the tab go to sleep on its own.. I do not force it with the power button. I revive it with the volume control.

I am running for months now tnt 4.1.0

I am not sure why there are complaints about a true "standby" or sleep state as I can not expect any better always on battery life than this.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
There are two levels of sleep. Screen off but CPU on and wifi on will run about 3% per hour. If you run the stock rom and let it go into deep sleep it will halt the CPU and shut down wifi after 2 minuets or so, and in that state it should burn about 1% per hour. It wont do alarms or reminders or check emails when in deep sleep.

So you can go about 33 hours without deep sleep. Or pretty much one day of use with alarms/alerts/push email. Or 3 days and off and on use with deep sleep. I prefer the one without deep sleep. I just charge it every night. I agree though, in with case it seems fine to me.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galapogos01:
There are so many threads on this issue... it'd be good for the mods to combine them or lock/link to one master? Much like the 96% issue... both need dev attention and less General threads!

I have raised a bug with CM7 on the idle power problem. Idle power usage is huge compared to other devices. Hopefully this can be fixed...

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=3714
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
"Currentwidget shows >300ma power usage at idle" from your report... do you happen to have the OC pegged high in SetCPU? Because wifi on, bt off, idle/screen on should be in the low 200s (214mhz clock scale) and wifi on, bt off, idle/screen off should come in at 100-120.

This isn't a "dev" issue - it's a hardware design issue. The gtab isn't designed for long standby, no amount of dev attention will fix that. 100ma seems to be the floor (with wifi on.)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zack407:
I agree, I can go about 30 hours before I have to charge it again. I do let it sleep but keep the wifi active as it has issues otherwise. It is a hardware limitation on the device not a dev issue.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galapogos01:
This was with wifi on, bt off, screen on auto brightness, cpu pegged to 214mhz with screen off, pershoot kernel.

I disagree that it's not a developer issue. Based on my experience with Android on the HD2, a lot of the battery usage issues eventually came down to kernel optimisation -- incorrect GPIOs causing devices/sensors to remain on when the kernel thought they were off, high bt idle drain, incorrect voltages against cpu speeds in the scaling tables, backlight driver loops, etc. I do not think this is related to the device itself.

I can get ~48 hours standby, but this thing should be measuring standby in weeks, not days. My HD2 can get >2 days standby, probably 4 or 5 in airplane mode. It draws 3ma!

Cheers,

Jason
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
Right - that would be a firmware deep sleep, where the firmware halts the cpu, and powers down hardware.

Note that when cpu halt ends the control of the OS right there.

The gtab's "deep sleep" isn't a whole lot better than "screen off, cpu lowest speed." No amount of kernel work is going to fix that.

[General Topics] karimin:
It may come as a surprise to many, that Sony's mobile smartphone division are actively encouraging developers to create, modify and install customised Linux kernels into their latest lineup of phones, including the Xperia Play, the device that was once known as "The Playstation Phone".

When Sony originally released their Xperia line of Android phones, many people were disappointed at how locked down the devices were. Many people consider Android's flexibility one of its best features, yet it's difficult if not impossible to install a customized OS if the phone's bootloader is locked down. This was particularly noticeable on Sony's phones as they were slow to roll out newer Android OS versions, leaving many users on Android 1.6 while different manufacturers happily rolled out 2.1 and even 2.2. Many users were annoyed at the lack of updates, but also at the inability to install an unofficial Android ROM.

Sony took a lot of this criticism on board and announced that their 2011 range of phones, such as the Xperia Arc and the Xperia Play, would have the ability to have their bootloaders unlocked. Before the phones were even in stores, Sony launched a dedicated site for unlocking your phone.

http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/

However, Sony has now gone a step further and given detailed instructions on how to create your own customized Linux kernel for the devices. The blog goes into great detail on how to build, assemble and flash a kernel using the source that Sony legally has to provide, thanks to the GPL license that the Linux kernels falls under. Customized Kernels are par for the course in the Android world. They're often used to extend the features and functionality of the device, such as allowing it to support additional file systems, improve the camera, increase battery life, and allow for overclocking, among many other things.

It isn't for the feint of heart, though and the blog does repeatedly state that doing anything of the sort could void your warranty, nor do Sony Ericsson promise any kind of support, however they have promised to monitor the community and help out where they can:

Sony Ericsson does not guarantee any support on this, but we will monitor the Building the Linux kernel for Xperia phones thread on the XDA Developers forum. However, we cannot guarantee an answer for every question asked in this forum.

This is a significant step forward for Sony, who appear to have made a complete 180 degree turn when it comes to their mobile devices. It also means that Sony is one of the most developer-friendly handset manufacturers out there, arguably making their phones as developer-friendly as Google's own-brand devices, if not more.

George Hotz once bragged that he would be the first to "hack" the Xperia play, but it seems Sony themselves beat him to the punch by opening the device up to everyone.

HELP ME...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, running Gingerbread XWKDD, Android 2.3.3, Samsung's Touchwiz 4.0.

Rooted my SGS2 and got Titanium Backup, I uninstalled the clock app because I thought it was a widget and I didn't want to see alot of widget. Anyway, turns out the clock 1.0 is actually a system app by the name of com.sec.android.app.clockpackage

and titanium backup can't reinstall it, when i extract the .apk from the backup file and try manually installing, it doesn't install either, just says application not installed.

I also can't find this on Android market.

ok, so after some digging i found that com.sec.android.app.clockpackage.apk still existed in system/apps but just wasn't running. I also noticed for almost every .apk, there was a .odex. But for my clockpackage, there was no .odex, maybe that's why it's not working?

on that thought, maybe anyone here can copy their .odex files for the 2 clock .apks and send them to me? Just use Root Explorer to see the system/app folder, mount R/W if you need to, then copy the 2 .odex files and then upload them somewhere? Pls?!?

if you want root explorer, holla at me via pm

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragon Whisperer:
Hello,

I'm hoping this is just something stupid on my part that's new to this ROM.

I upgraded my ROM to 3.14 WWE using goldcard method and since then, when I've left the phone sitting there for a period of time (sometimes a few mins, sometimes an hr etc) and I press the 'end call' button to turn the screen back on, the lights on the hard key buttons will turn on but the screen itself will still remain off. When I receive a call, I can hear the ringtone and I can answer it but the screen still remains off. Any ideas? When I take the battery out and putting it back, the screen turns back on but then I end up needing to do that several times a day so I can see the screen...

I've also put Artemis ROM on now but there's still the same problem.

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uli71:
What SPL and radio versions do you have after flashing ROM3.14?

Have you installed any additional apps, like CHT or something else?

Are you using your goldcard as SD?

Does your HD2 show the same behavior without SD?

Have you formatted your SD after upgrading to ROM3.14? (I recommend to use a card reader and SD Formatter 3.0)

How? Please give me tips and correct me if im wrong

1. Autobrightness

2. change from 3g to 2g if you're just using the phone to recieve notifications or use a small data program like for example whatsapp

3. deactivate data if you aren't using internet and you don't have any notification system for any kind of app

4. underclock choosing the right governor (ondemand?) put min. to 300 and max. to 600 if you're not playing heavy games you won't notice the difference (cyanogenmod -> system)

The last point I know that is not the best way to save battery, could someone indicate me how to underclock my phone (when switched the screen off consume a very few amount for ex. + which is the best governor to choose) I know setvsel is used for that but I don't know the correct values (and stables ones!) could someone help me so I can put it in the first post of this thread? thank you :)

I'm assuming for all of this that you give a normal use for your phone, some gps.. surf the web and recieving notifications + whatsapp :p could someone give me the setvsel values to this type of use? (assuming the max is 600 'cause I think I don't need more) thank you!
[Defy General] stewi21:
1. yes 2. yes, unless you find you are getting no signal. 3 yeah 4. you dont need to limit the system to 600 mhz just use set vsel and limit the up threshold to 100% and as for undervolting settings, everyones are different but check out this forum here :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13478605
