I took your same approach and it went well. Hopefully the battery likes the results too.

Any different to renaming Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk to .bak? If I've already done this then there is no need for the adb stuff, right?
[Acer Iconia A500] lrs421:
When you rename it is there any risk of force closing on the phone.apk? I tried this on my gtab and the phone.apk continued to force close, I had to flash back to stock to get rid of it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Juzman:
I got Force Close continually soon as I renamed it. Turned it off / on and is working fine. On both mine and missus' A500.

Here is the step-by-step noob safe procedure for modifying the carrier mode:

- Download "sqlite3.zip" (can be found are the beginning of this post).

- Extract "sqlite3.apk".

- Open root explorer.

- Copy "sqlite3.apk".

- Go to '/system/bin/'

- Check the "Mount R/W" tab (left upper corner).

- Paste "sqlite3.apk".

- Select "sqlite3.apk" (long press), and choose "Permisions".

- Set the permissions to:

Owner: x x x

Group: x - x

Others: x - x (and press OK).

- Open a console emulation app (like Better Terminal Emulator).

- Type su, and press enter (now you are root).

- Type sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.DB 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'

- Type reboot, and press enter.

And that's all, folks. If you want to check if everything is OK, once it reboots, open root explorer, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ , open settings.DB with the internal explorer, go to secure and check if "preferred_network_mode" is set to "1".

[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
For some reason I was getting "SQL error: no table: secure" when I tried this. Using chdir a couple times to get into the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases directory appears to have worked though.
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Every time I try this, I get "value unchanged - database locked". I have given the permissions to the SQL Editor, etc..., and set to r/w with Root Explorer but no go. Can you help me figure out what's wrong
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Further to my post above, I am confused since I do not see the word "name" anywhere in your instructions for using the sqlite editor - will you please clarify?
[Acer Iconia A500] UberArtifex:
OK, here we go:

This process is very simple. All we have to do is change a value in a database from 0 to 1.

To do this we need a database editor (the sqlite3.apk). In order to use an app, we need to place it where apps go, and that's /system/bin/ folder.

Since it's a system folder it's locked against writing. If you want full access to it, you need to change it's state from R/O (read only), to R/W (read write).

So we set the /system folder state to R/W, and now we can tinker inside it, and put the sqlite3.apk file into /system/bin/.

The next step is to change the apk permissions so it can execute, and then, we do some wizardry, searching into a database and modifying a value.

And we reboot the machine.

Maybe if we do this using only bash, it will be more simple.

So here is the on-tablet bash-only Cell Drainage Fix Procedure. (all credits go to richardtrip, I'm only transcribing his instructions)

Before proceding, you must have downloaded sqlite3.zip, and expanded it's contents (aka sqlite3.apk).

Put sqlite3.apk into /sdcard folder (that's the internal flash), and type exactly the next lines of bash commands into your prefered terminal emulator (pressing enter after every command):

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system

cp /sdcard/sqlite3 /system/bin/sqlite3

chmod 6755 /system/bin/sqlite3

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'update secure set value="1" where name="preferred_network_mode"'

reboot

If you want to check everything's ok, open root explorer and:

Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/

Double tap on settings.db

Tap on secure

Look for "preferred_network_mode" (it's on row #10)

Check that its "value" is 1 and not 0 (default value, maybe "auto" mode)

Hope these instructions are more clear.
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Awesomely clear and it worked (now if you could only get the fingerprints off my screen LOL).

Thanks a million. And, BTW I was just wondering - one of the widgets I use (Weather & Toggle Widgets) has a widget to toggle 2G/3G, as do many others I suppose. Do you think that just using this would have the same effect as changing the preferred network mode value?

Anyway, thanks for being patient - I'll report back after a while with my battery info.
[Acer Iconia A500] Petros_tigra:
i type exactly the commands (with better terminal) but nothing happen (not even with the command reboot..)

EDIT

I use the copy-paste method to the commands and now all its ok...... ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Well, after going through all of the above, I still get cell standby usage of about 30% overnight, even with WiFi off!
[Acer Iconia A500] docfreed:
Wasted Effort

Either before or after applying the "fix", I only get about 5-6% battery drain when sleeping overnight, and I think the chatter about battery drain is meaningless. Sure, it says "cell standby" is 30% but, that is 30% of a small number , i.e., 30% of 6% = <2% loss

I think the whole thing is a waste of effort - the battery drain is no more than I had using CM7 on a rooted Nook Color - less than 1% per hour and I think all the related threads are probably solutions looking for a problem!
[Acer Iconia A500] deathbysnoosnoo:
Its clear by your 4 posts on how to apply the change that you feel its a waste of time.
[Acer Iconia A500] Canadoc:
Don't have my iconia yet but based on my experience with my nook, cell stdby is not actually draining anything. In an Os that is also used on a cellular enabled hardware, it reports standby time as phone idle or cellular standby. Think of this as just standby time when OS is not doing anything. Think about it if there is no 3G radio in the device how xan the hardware be draining battery using or searching for it.

Most battery drain is from an active radio be it wifi gps or Bluetooth. Of course screen us is number one however.

People doing same rename of those .apk files in nook forums also thought they had better battery life but formal testing refutes that.

Perhaps there is some process or app one has running that cause the drain that is the culprit.
[Acer Iconia A500] flipper2006:
This is a bit confusing thread, most people are saying it doesnt make a difference. Is there any point in doing this or not???

After a week of getting my Iconia, very happy with it. Battery life is good or better then the Xoom i think and screen is very impressive even though it's not IPS or like the Asus. I'm glad i didnt keep watiing for the Asus because i would still be waiting.
[Acer Iconia A500] 00mred00:
It has been a week and I am seeing no unusual drain. I charge it about every two days or so.

[EVO Shift 4G General] nvhush:
I have been digging around for a video player to use with my Shift that supports XviD and MP3 audio. Well I finally found one called RockPlayer, but it seems like it only works correctly on Sense ROMs. It is built off ffmpeg and works lag free 100% using NFX Shift 2.0, but the latest CM7 starts playing the first 0.5s and then stops. I attached the player APK; maybe some of you can take a look and report back what ROM you are using & your experience. Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
rockbox was cool but didnt play anything i had smoothly. i went from the epic (which plays virtually everything) to the shift with plays virtually nothing. i just downloaded arcMedia from the market (free) and it works very well. been watching movies off of it for the last week and never had a problem. this is running awesomerom (sense based).

just my $.02
[EVO Shift 4G General] nvhush:
Thanks for the response & advice. One conclusion from all my tests is that you need a SENSE ROM in order to get proper video playback using MPEG4+MP3. I've tried some ASOPs like CM7, Evervolv, and others, but none work so I will keep on trying until I can release a fix.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Philpot85:
Try using MoboPlayer. It's free on the market.

Hello!

This is the first time I'm trying to flash my SSPV210 tablet, I'm sorry if my question would sound stupid to someone.

Downloaded the fastboot tool, downloaded the firmware, now I insert the slave USB cable into the device & PC and boot the device with Back+Menu keys pressed together, so on the main screen I see:

CPU: Samsung ARM Cortex-A8 S5PV210
Memory 512M Byte DDR2

...

FASTBOOT update System
Focus mid device-000

Now I run on PC the command: sudo ./fastboot update 20110321-update.zip:

Bootloader Version...:
Baseband Version.....:

checking product... OKAY
sending 'boot' (4132 KB)... FAILED (data transfer failure (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))

Anybody can tell me what's wrong? Also, can anybody tell me where do I get the sourcecode of the fastboot tool? Maybe it's an outdated version (I got it from this forum on some devel thread), or maybe something changed lately in the usb stack of the kernel (my kernel is 2.6.35.12-90.fc14.x86_64).

I know there is guides everywhere but thats the problem not sure which to use to learn what to do before I try flashing new rom. What about kernel I really don't understand where to go from here. I am rooted and Clockwork recovery flashed but don't know where to go from here. I am not a idiot just a little guidance please!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
First of all, if you're certain that your recovery is installed, then you need to decide what rom and what type of rom you want to install? For instance, do you want a Sense based rom (the HTC overlay that your EVO came with) or an AOSP rom (Pure Android like on the Nexus)? For a sense based rom, I suggest Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5. You can see photos of it as well as download it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=793471 and for an AOSP rom, I suggest Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.salvage-mod.com/node/4. Make sure you download the Google Applications from the same page. Whichever you decide to flash or any others, put them on your SD card. Now shutdown your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. There will be a short pause and then a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, you will see a set of options. One of the options will be "recovery". By the way, look at the top of the screen and make sure it displays "S-OFF". If it displays "S-ON", you are not rooted. Anyway, select recovery. Your phone will vibrate and display a white EVO screen and then boot into recovery. Your recovery should be ClockworkMod. Go into the backup menu and select nandroid backup to make a backup of your current setup. You can always restore your device to the way it was if you don't like your new roms, mods, themes and kernels. After you've made your backup, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. After that, go to the flash zip menu and flash the rom you want to try. After it's finished, it should prompt you to reboot. Do so and be patient. You will appear to hang at a couple of places. Be patient. Let it finish. Be patient. Do not pull the battery. Be patient. After some time, you will see your rom's splash screen and then your new homescreen. If it is a sense based rom, go to menu-settings-system updates and select update profile after you've signed in with your Google credentials. Enjoy your new rom.
