[Captivate Android Development] Vaanhoot:
It's a beta release but I don't experience any bugs in my everyday use. Running it with default kernel and modem and it is really stable for me. Give it a try, you probably won't experience any bugs if you follow the directions.
[Nook Color General] Kadin:
I have to say, my experience so far with getting my NC up and running with CM7 has been very positive so far. I'm running it from the SD and OC @ 1.1ghz. Just a great experience all around. I'm still considering a Xoom somewhere down the road but no rush now.

I wasn't going to buy it as I had a Kindle but I have to say, this really has so much more potential, I just couldn't say no.

Anyways, just wanted to pass along my positive experience and look forward to learning a bunch more from all the smart people around here. :D
[Nook Color General] Kadin:
I'm gonna add a question here as I don't want to make another thread.

One thing I'm slightly frustrated with, and really it's very minor, I have some difficulty with swiping through menus and accidentally selecting whatever happens to be at the location I start my swipe.

For example: When I'm scrolling through a web page, I'll press somewhere close to the bottom and drag up to scroll down the page. For some reason, this typically will launch a link if that happens to be around where my finger touches the screen initially. Or if I'm in 'Settings' and scrolling through the screen to go further down, this usually opens a misc option or checks/unchecks a box, etc. I don't know what else to do but is there a setting or something that will stall the OS from reacting so quickly?

If I click and hold, then drag, it seems to work ok. But this is something that's not really natural to me. I'll say now that I've used an iPhone and iPad and never had this type of quirky/touchy response. Is it just me?

[Nook Color General] Garoto1973:
Do you use your stock BN home? It is laggy but I overclocked with Dal's 1.1 oc kernel for bn 1.2 and now things are snappy! I also use Phiremod 6.2 from sd which is a rocket!
[Nook Color General] Jimbo67:
I had this same problem until I installed a screen protector and it solved all of my touch screen issues!
[Nook Color General] Kadin:
Interesting... I never thought about that. If I may ask, where did you get it and how much was it? Does it take away much from the image quality?

I use the stock 1.2 without any type of modifications. I haven't found the need to do much to it as it runs pretty smooth. Although I maybe only run that mode 10% of the time, if that...
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
I picked up an anti-glare screen protector on Amazon.com, but I can't remember which one it was. I bought it mainly to just protect the screen from scratches, but it really cuts the glare and doesn't show fingerprints as easily as the bare screen.

It doesn't degrade image quality at all, although I bumped up the screen's brightness just a hair to compensate.

[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
IDK, the stock interface is accessible for the computer-illiterate and the hardware configuration is equally accessible for all levels of power-users. I pretty much forgive all shortcomings in the stock OS because B&N made no effort to lock me into using it, aside from withholding the magazine and kids book functionality in their Android Market app.

Good morning.

As per title really. I'm getting my SGS2 in a couple of weeks, and the only thing I'll miss from my SGS is this theme - the best out there by a long way, IMHO.

Pele has kindly given permission to anyone who wants to port his theme to the SGS2 (page 166, post #1656 in original link):

Many thanks (and a donation once I get over my Paypal phobia:o) to anyone willing to try.

Are there any customisable lock screens out there that you can set to have a password in (the numeric number pad), rather than pattern or slide?

Also are there any lock screens about at all that cannot be bypassed by launching the task manager and killing the lock screen (kinda defeats any security purpose)?

I encrypted my tablet and everything seemed to work without a problem, but every time I restart the tablet, I get a dialog box that says:

Apkinstaller

All pre-installer processes complete!

[OK]

and, more importantly, it's reset my timezone to GMT 0:00.

Anyone come across this issue?
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
Yes. Both are known issues I believe. The timezone issue was heavily reported in Xoom forums. Neither affects usage of the device - it's just that you have to set the timezone at every reboot. Since I only reboot if mucking as root in the system and need to make some changes happen... it doesn't bother me.

I'm French,

I have an AZERTY Logitech keyboard. When I plug it into my Acer Tab A500, the tablet recognize a keyboard but use the QWERTY order instead french one.

Somebody has the same pb as me ?:(
[Acer Iconia A500] elouch:
HI,

I had the same problem; after a bit of looking around, I found that there were two files responsible for the layout of the keyboard:

/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

= what key you get by tapping on the keyboard

/system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm

= how the keys appear on the screen when you use shift, alt, ctrl

I made an AZERTY version of the files; you just need to backup the existing files (I think it's better if you clear them of their directories) using RootExplorer, and replace them with these files (erase the .txt):

View attachment 595990

View attachment 595991

Hope it works for you too!

The ^ sign didn't work to make â or ê, so to type them I decided to put Alt+a and Alt+e.

Dans "paramètres", "langue et saisie" tu choisis "mode de saisie actuel" dans "paramètres du clavier" tu sélectionnes "français (saisie de texte XT9)" pour moi c'est le dernier choix de la liste. tu vas ensuite dans "configurer les modes de saisie" puis dans "saisie de texte XT9" tu sélectionnes "modes de saisie actifs", tu décoches "utilisez la langue du système" et tu coches "français". Et là ça devrait être bon. Si le clavier n'est pas reconnu directement en XT9 tu as une icône en bas, à coté de l'heure pour sélectionner ce mode.

[Galaxy S II General] cavinsoo:
This doesn't work. Ignore this thread please. Android OS and Wi-Fi Sharing reappeared after a few hours even though I was in bed sleeping and not using the phone.

For those who have problem with Android OS and Wi-Fi Sharing draining battery, this is for you.

I think I have found a solution. I need someone to try it out with me. So far so good. The main culprit is Kies Air. If you are not going to use it, please do not tap on that app at all. If you can, hide it. Once you tap it, it will remain running forever even if you shutdown and restart your phone. So what can we do?

First, Factory Reset the phone. Then, make sure you do not launch Kies Air after Factory Reset.

That's all. Now all you need to do is monitor the battery graph and let us all know your findings. You should not see Android OS, Android System high up in the list. Wi-Fi Sharing will no longer appear in the list that consumes battery.

I have success with this.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
How long have you had it running like this?
[Galaxy S II General] m00moo:
why dont you just end the service in the settings?
[Galaxy S II General] Funkym0nkey:
I use Kies Air extensively. But it does not really keep running in the background here.

I dont keep my wifi on unless and until needed. SGS2 is very quick to get IP than my older phones, so i turn it on when needed from widget. Also you dont need wifi on before launching Kies Air. It will turn it on and off by itself.

when i close kies, it asks me if I want to disable wifi and it closes properly.

I tab of ATK and it closes on me never to turn back on by itself.

The only programs that keeps coming back are hubs and iplayer which to be honest does not seem to eat juice much. I will be getting rid of them soon enough.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
now that i think of it the nexus one doesnt have kies air does it ? and it has the same android os issue?
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
Kies air shutdown wont help, did not even have it installed and still have android os bug
[Galaxy S II General] dan13l:
I've had both android os and wifi sharing eating battery, and I've never touched Kies. So it's not that.
[Galaxy S II General] lgkahn:
not a soluton for me.. becuase i do occasionally use the wifi sharing so that i can tether over wifi.. the solution i am using which is kinda kludgy is to freeze the two wifi sharing apps with titanium backup (requires root).. works for me.. when i want to tether i will unfreeze them.. hopefully this will fix in a firmware update.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
sorry guys I am late to the party.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED to see for "Android OS" and "Android System"?

My phone right now is at 4 h 15 min (I charged it before going to bed, yes I sleep 4 hours a day). The phone did not do anything, but sounded Alarm to wake me up, and I had screen on for like 10 minutes total so far, plus the Alarm sounding and vibrating.

I have AOS at 37% up top, and AS at 3% on the bottom. This is not right?

I used Kies many times, but restarted the phone after the last time, and that was before the phone was charged last time.
[Galaxy S II General] StickyGeko:
my AOS is at 6% now - it was at 47% this morning... but i think that was because the screen was 0% whilst i was alseep, so yes your 37% is waaaay too high, mine was up at 15% but since i installed juice defender it has dropped to between 6-8%
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
Android OS / Android System percentages don't really matter that much - even if the device had a week long battery life, the percentages still have to add up to 100% - so something always has to be using battery. ;)

The main problem seems to be the 'wifi sharing' and 'wifi sharing manager' services, which start up whenever you connect to wifi...
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
I've frozen both of those (using titanium backup) and its helped the battery life noticeably. And my wifi is on 100% of the time.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Out off sudden my watchdog task manager caught wifi sharing at 40%.. :eek:

All these while will be only suspend, events/0 and android system. Both suspend and events/0 average on 35-40%. :mad:

Is this the reason my battery drain so much?
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Gonna test and froze those 2 culprit now.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
ANybody know what is Zinio Reader?
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
I use Kies for transferring files ect to my phone. SO if I have it on it stays on yeah? even if I exit oout of it?
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
You mean you're connected to Kies Air and wanted to play with your phone while waiting for files being transfer? The answer is yes, press the home button and do whatever you want, it will not be disconnected.
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Sorry, I meant when I finished and exit the program, something continues to run in the background (wifi share?) that drains the battery?
[Galaxy S II General] shabs52:
Damn...

Android OS @ 46% followed by Display at 21%. Android system however, at just 4%. Yeah 46 is just way too high...
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Oh.. my watchdog didn't report any app misbehave after I done with Kies Air.

My wifi sharing will keep on running on background at 3% regardless of whether I connected to Kies or not. Frozen it but it still there. LOL. Weird.
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
Did you reboot after freezing?
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Oppss.. forgotten. LOL.

Edit: Its still there. :(
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
Your sure you froze

wi-fi sharing 1.0

and

wi-fi sharing manager 1.0

?
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Yup.. is in the frozen list.
[Galaxy S II General] winwiz:
same here, disabled wifi sharing and its still there
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
It doesn't show up for me at all anymore. Let's figure out what we are doing different. After freezing mine, I use wifi all day, but I have NOT tried kies, kies air or mobile AP since freezing.
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
I on my wifi 24/7. No Kies Air. Rarely been out of the house due to finals exam this week. I hardly do anything on the phone and yet I get around 8hrs. I think i'm going to as for an exchange when stock available on CPW.
