[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Easy

You might want to write down this procedure because it's pretty complicated.

Step 1. Mark batteries 1. and B.

Step 2. Use battery A until it dies.

Step C. Replace battery A. with battery 2.

Step 4. While battery B is being used, charge battery 1

Step Cinco. Once battery 2 dies, replace with battery uno.

Sorry for the overly complicated answer.

In short - don't stress out about it. Just replace the battery when it dies. Use the time you just saved yourself to do something useful like learning how to knit or something. ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
So i just received the battery i bought on Ebay marked as OEM New geniune, and its used, i can clearly tell by the contacts and the battery is scratched allover... Time to message the ebay seller -_-
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystycs:
I got battery left pro. Does it calibrate the system for me? Because I know your suppose to use battery calibrator app to calibrate one battery. But ihow would I calibrate the system for the second? Does battery left do that too?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
I have 3 batteries ...2 standard that I charge with an external charger and one extended life battery.......I don't bother calibrating anymore.....never noticed any difference
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
You're right. That's what I was trying to say to the OP but he ignored me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Second battery always seems to have a much lower life when I do this. Maybe my stats are just way off since it's a much older oem battery
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Are you judging this based off of the battery meter, or based off of how long the battery runs before it dies?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
When it dies..can't understand why.

Help Please!! I rooted my galaxy s 2 a couple of days ago, the screen got damaged. Still fully functional but need to unroot, any help please

And I know I sound like the biggest idiot ever, but im no rooting expert.
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
how did you root it? Use superoneclickroot to unroot it..

I havent rooted mine yet, so i may not be 100% sure.
[Galaxy S II General] peterfiile:
i used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056334, so yes essentially i must just be able to unroot and reflash the secure rom i guess

is there a secure wxdd kernel avaialbe
[Galaxy S II General] peterfiile:
ive got a link to the xwkdd, but its hotfile and really slow, are there any alternatives?
[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
You will have a counter to say you flashed a non-samsung kernel. Unknown if Samsung check this, but it might be a good idea to get a USB jig and reset it. Guide in the Dev subsection.
[Galaxy S II General] peterfiile:
im banking they dont. anyhow it will not be with samsung ittl be with mobiles.co.uk or ittl be insurance so im not worried about that. ive gone stock now all data deleted even with the widespread gradual blacking out of the phone screen. :) thanks for help.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
What happened with your phone if you dont mind me asking?
[Galaxy S II General] peterfiile:
it fell on the kitchen floor... kinda silly realy but it got nocked out of my hand, just one of those things. the screen then had a thin vertical purpleish bar and then it went all blue/black. basically completely unuseable now
[Galaxy S II General] seh6183:
You broke your phone by dropping it, I hope you're not going to try and warranty it. I assume this is why you're asking about un root.
[Galaxy S II General] peterfiile:
insurance.
[Galaxy 3 General] neoKushan:
I don't really claim to be an expert but I wrote this and nobody really chimed in to say anything was wrong, so hopefully it applies here.

I'll try to keep an eye on this thread in case anyone has questions.

[Acer Iconia A500] rog152:
from Google's I/O keynote today

Rejoice! Google has announced that they are putting together a team of people from many of our favorite carriers and OEMs, to commit to bringing the latest Android updates to users devices. These new guidelines will be constructed by folks at Verizon, HTC, Samsung, Sprint, Sony Ericsson, LG, T-Mobile, Vodafone, Motorola, AT&T and, of course, Google.

According to Google, new devices will receive the latest updates for 18 months after their release -- if the hardware allows. More to come. Be sure to follow our live blog here.

Also the Xoom will be receiving Honeycomb 3.1 update TODAY

no mention of Acer in this announcement.

What about you guys, worried about updates from Acer now?
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
I believe they stated that "other" Honeycomb devices would receive the update in the coming weeks. So, yes, I'm worried until the sources hit and we get custom roms. Then not so worried anymore.
[Acer Iconia A500] viking2.0:
it all depends on how quickly acer gives an update.. can we not install the honeycomb 3.1 as it is as there is very little change made to the OS by acer or do i have to root it before doing it?
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Well I'm worried, I think I'm taking mine back tonight as its tthe last day of my return. If the bootloader is cracked or Acer makes some statement or releases an update in the coming weeks than I'll buy it again. Otherwise ill see what the Samsung is all about.
[Acer Iconia A500] thiazzi:
Not worried. The Xoom wifi-only doesn't even have an update date yet. Most likely they just wanted to get it out quickly for all the Xoom 3g folks that have had buyer's remorse creeping up on them since launch.
[Acer Iconia A500] JoKu:
Per msnbc.com

"It's weird that Google is singling out the Xoom, on the tablet side. We've already tested three Honeycomb tablets in addition to the Xoom: LG G-Slate, Acer Iconia A500 and Asus EeePad Transformer, and they all work about the same, and share the same basic specs. Presumably they will be included in the whole "coming weeks" thing, but if not, that will be bad."

I agree with this; not worried. They said that others were going to be available at a later time (coming weeks).
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.r9:
First of all, lets give them sometime for the update to go out to the 'other' devices.

If Acer updates our Iconias, then all is well. If not, well just have to rape their support pages/email/everything :)
[Acer Iconia A500] jimbobtexas:
Not sure I see anything too ominous in this announcement. On the plus side, the consortium is designed to reduce fragmentation, a huge complaint from the Google developer/user community. Perhaps Google's influence will prevail over the commercial monsters.

Just because Acer wasn't mentioned doesn't really portend anything bad, IMO. Not sure if they're just courting the flagship platforms and using them for an example, but I doubt seriously that means they're ignoring all the other platforms.

Sure, I'd like to see an update from the manufacturer, but I'd rather have a recovery first. ;) I mean, I've only had the device for 2 weeks. How greedy can I really get?
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
I need to know they will be able to get recovery which is why I'm taking mine back. If recovery becomes available, I will purchase it again.
[Acer Iconia A500] kappen:
I'm more concerned that the movie tab isn't available to us. Will it happen in a few weeks or does it require the drm hardware the Acer is missing.
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
I'm not worried at all - about not seeing the onslaught of 'this update sucks' threads.
[Acer Iconia A500] edgie168:
Looks like you should have bought a Xoom or Tranformer.:rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
Yeah.....
[Acer Iconia A500] astang99:
What movie tab?
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelg1030:
I think he's referring to Google's newly announced movie rental service.
[Acer Iconia A500] astang99:
Well, if he would of read further down the announcement its only available on the web at the moment with an update to the xoom coming and than the Rest of us will follow
[Acer Iconia A500] Vintage144:
This sounds alot like the hysteria over updates Windows Phone 7 ,most of the **** isnt even noticable, the I cant wait for it to be perfect crowd!My suggestion is let Steven Jobs aupply you with there version of perfect and quit whining ,thank god the devs arent a bunch of titty sucking cry babies!

Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Not worried, Acer states they will release updates by June on their a500 website. My guess is 3.1 will be coming then as well:

"720p is the current resolution supported. 1080p will be available by June 2011 via software upgrade. "

It surprises me how many folks are returning these so fast. Gotta have some patience...everything will progress forward, it just takes longer than 14 days most of the time. Of course something better will come, it always does. But this is still a nice device for the times. I knew I was an early adopter of the OS and the hardware when I bought...I'm in for the long haul unless something breaks:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] panda.bear:
I agree, people tend to get overeager when the newest updates come out and tend to forget the big picture or the fact that the A500 is still a great device that you can actually buy today!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonpaz:
Is anybody seeing heavy battery loss during standby mode?

On average my TF is losing between 3.5 and 5% battery in standby mode. I have done a few tests with and with out airplane mode and it does not change.

I currently have an RMA setup with ASUS but I dont want to have to send it back and wait 14 days, so I wanted to reach out here first.

Thanks in advance,

Brandon
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akashhhhh:
Every device I've ever owned has lost power during standby. That's the tradeoff. Otherwise, you could, you know...turn it off?

Windows has that nice "hibernate" hybrid.

It's totally not worth an RMA...don't let your OCD win.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnycreature:
There are a few processes that run in the background like Android OS, WiFi, keyboard etc. It needs to be reactive to certain signals so it can't be off completely. The iPad has amazing stand-by times but I don't know why. I just saw it when I borrowed one for a day from a friend.

I would NOT RMA my device unless it's a significant drop in battery life (>10%/h); it's just the way it is mate!

But what I realized is after I rooted, installed SetCPU and set the governor to ondemand the battery life has increased significantly. It idles at 216MHz now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crimton:
mine doesn't have a great standby time either, pretty bad actually when you compare it to my xoom. however its an issue that should be fixed with a software update and it shouldn't require an rma.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishandr:
Check if you have your Wifi on sleep also?? Depending on number of applications that you use for updating it might be using your battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
There are a number of other threads already discussing the issue of battery life in standby, but here's my conclusion: the TF has an issue with wifi that if you set it to stay on while the TF's screen is off (a setting in the wifi section of system settings), it burns quite a bit of battery while on standby. If you set it to turn off when the screen is off, then it doesn't.

I know this is a bug with the TF because the Xoom does not exhibit this behavior. It burns less than .5%/hour when on standby with wifi set to stay on when the screen is off. The TF gets this same performance (<.5%/hour burn) on standby only if wifi is set to turn off. Otherwise, I'm getting the same as you: around 3.5%/hour burn rate.

I'm assuming that the TF's wifi just doesn't enter whatever low-power state it's supposed to enter while on standby. My second assumption is that this is something that will get fixed in an update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssj4vegita2002:
I just turn on airplane mode when I know it is going to sit, and it burns about 1% an hour.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakib:
+1 on this. Looking forward to the updates
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
Is there an adjustment for the Wifi and/or app settings. In general the second or third largest power consumer in these devices is the radios. The radio needs to be powered up whenever a connection needs data. This can be for keep alive messages that verify the existence of a wifi connection to an access point, or from an app such as gmail, calendar, etc. checking for new data. In any case there may be settings that allow one to decrease the frequency of these operations.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonpaz:
FYI, I did a few tests with airplane mode on and I was still losing around 3.5%-5% battery life.

I did do a few more tests, and my most recent test I found interesting.

I use my TF as usual and had a few applications running, I then turned off the screen and let it sit for an hour and 4% battery life was used.

Then I powered down my TF fully, then I powered it back up and turned off the screen. (Currently the TF is up and running but no applications have been opened aside from backround apps Syncing).

I put the TF into standby (turned off the screen) at 1:37 am and I had 53% battery life.

I checked on the TF in the morning at 8:51am, and I had 51% battery life.

So in just over 7 hours my TF only used 2% battery life in standby which is a very acceptable range.

Conclusion, what ever apps we are opening and using under normal use are not being fully closed out, and are running in the backround, not the backround services as per the airplane mode test.

I will do a few more tests tommorrow, I hope this helps and I look forward to others feedback!

Brandon
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Brandon - Please check out yours with wifi set to turn off when the screen is off. In all of my testing (similar to yours), that made the difference between great standby performance (<.5%/hour) and not-so-great (3.5%/hour or more). Nothing else seemed to matter, including manually turning off just about every app that normally runs in the background and verifying that they stayed off.

Hopefully soon Asus will also fix the battery stats bug so that we can see what apps/system components are actually using power on standby. Or they'll just fix wifi so that it sleeps as it should.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonpaz:
I have already done the tests with WIFI turned off and also with the TF in Airplane Mode.

So far the only time I have gotten great standby time was when I rebooted my TF and did not open any applications. (WIFI was on FYI)

Brandon
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazz87:
so, the last two night i've gotten great result from stand by mode. The first night i went and killed couple of programs, before putting in AP mode for the night. 12:45 am till 9:00 am from 78% 75%. Last night at 12:00am had 34% this morning at 8:00 it dropdown to 32%.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twirtle2:
I took a screenshot of the battery usage after waking up in the morning. Wifi was left on with the sleep policy set to sleep on screen off. It seems to turn back on intermittently but the awake bar seems to happen more often the longer it is in sleep. Is that meant to happen? What does awake signify? That the screen is on?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngryDinosaur:
background data probably running in the background

like weather updates to it to refresh every 4 hours or something
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twirtle2:
its weird though, towards the right theres like 2 times where the device is awake for long periods of time :S
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimi_Q:
Would you try "Task killer" for decreasing battery loss? ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mug2k:
My battery seems to be dying alot quicker now I have the dock. Hopefully a new firmware will come out that'll lower the battery consumption of the dock when its in standby.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spenceuiuc:
Feature request:

A mod that will allow the automatic brightness levels to be adjusted (maybe save some battery life when indoors, and kick it up while outside).

Is this feasible?
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
Just wanna let you guys know during google io today. When they were talking about 2.4 ice cream sandwich.The xperia play was shown to be one of the device to get the update!!
[Xperia Play General] matknny:
V cool
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
Does the xperia play qualify for that 18 months upgrade thing?
[Xperia Play General] Aightu:
Would be awesome if we where a launche product.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
*Sigh* And you believe the national oligopolies called "phone carriers" will agree with giving those timely updates?
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
not all of us have branded phones, :p thats why i refuse to go on a contract and saved up to buy a factory unlocked version off ebay :D
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Ya really I bought a branded phone and I wasted no time DEbranding it now I can't wait for all the updates that are sure to come much sooner than having rogers getting around to it
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
If it debranded wouldnt it register as r008i instead of r008a? I thought r008a means rogers
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
They were just using the Xperia Play as an example of the diverse device ecosystem that is Android, NOT on a list of what devices will receive Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
Im not sure why its like that but this is what I got now
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
How did you de-brand it?
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
I paid for it check out www.davinciteam.com

yo yo emann56 you got to have 10 credits for that
[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
I dont understand the point of wasting money debranding it, your phone is still unlockeable from bootloader, and if we are based on the same terms, its likely that off any direct updates that factory unlocked phones will have.

A debranding on a carriers phone is only a makeup, but will not affect in any way SE updates or changes, because they are likely based on your IMEI
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
I just realized, I think that image is misleading I mean the HTC EVO and Droid 2 and even that cheap LG thing. I don't think they are getting icecream they don't even have android 2.3.
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
who really gives a **** about unlocking bootloader now there is nothing out there yet i did it just to get completely away from rogers bull**** and plus its only 15 bucks to give a try which i dont really care about.....but maybe you do
[Xperia Play General] kenshindono:
Just got the info that Xperia X10 will get gingerbread so why Xperia play wouldn't get ICS...

Of course it will :D

Remember defragmenting android and globalization tools, apps and games for any device!

All that to **** Apple Isucks
[Xperia Play General] bitme30:
I'm a distrubutor and according to my sources in SE, they will update to ice cream - both neo, play and arc.

It's said that they won't do the silly mistake again in not having the newest os available to newer modells. (x10/mini/pro - 1.6)
[Xperia Play General] noxlord:
in the OP picture, the Play was shown to illustrate the fact that there a variety of devices running different versions of android on different hardware, enforcing the necessity of one single version of the android API's to simplify development and reduce fragmentation.

There is no promise of ICS.
[Xperia Play General] noxlord:
You payed for someone to flash your phone, something you can safely do yourself for free ??? :confused:

I hope you mean sim unlock :o
[Xperia Play General] thatsupnow:
dont be confused its not for you to worry about, you just go ahead anfd flash your phone with the free FW's and watch how fast you break it :)
[Xperia Play General] DeadlyDazza:
Now now children, let's play nice.
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
thats absolute rubbish, imo only a noob has to pay for stuff like that, they clearly dont have the know how to collect all the tools and software needed to do it themselves, so they pay some one to do it for them (not that there is anything wrong with that). i have been flashing phones for like 10 years (started with my k750) and have never paid or bricked a phone :)
[Xperia Play General] finty:
That's a pretty stupid statement to make on a site like this.
[Xperia Play General] sdlaurin:
Maybe. But there was no need to flame him and call him names for paying.
[Xperia Play General] finty:
Well if his post wasn't so patronising he likely wouldn't have got flamed so much. Anyway, enough of this derailment.
[Xperia Play General] techelec:
Bumpity bump bump.

Since ICS is now out, and announced, is there any news on this???
[Xperia Play General] Jack Shepard:
But this has been confirmed that PLAY will get an update of ICE CREAM.

And since I live in Middle East I can have it the moment SE releases it, no operator's approval stuff.
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
hey guys

we can't forget what SE have done to us on x10/mini pro !:mad:

we don't let SE to do it again , let's send our universal request to SE and i hope we ganna WIN :)
[Xperia Play General] :
Lets hope it comes out soon.

Apparently all 2.3 phones can support ICS.
[Xperia Play General] antispiral:
Seriously, where is everyone getting confirmation for ICS? I have not read anywhere about ICS on the play.
[Xperia Play General] techelec:
Second that. I've been desperate and looking searching the interwebs.

It does say the Ice Cream Sandwich platform SHOULD work on the Gingerbread phones.

Nexus S got the update, Droid RAZR might get the update....

Sony Ericsson, UPDATE OUR PHONES!
[Xperia Play General] Clienterror:
Thank God, I feel sorry for BB users. Any phone with OS 6 can't upgrade to 7 and all OS 7 phones can't upgrade to QNX in Q1 2012 lol. And no one is developing apps for OS 7 because they won't work on 6 or QNX lol. It's a serious cluster.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Blackberry does that because otherwise they won't sell premium phones. Since their best value comes from BBM and that works the same in an old Curve than in the Playbook, people need some leash-yanking for upgrading.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/20/sony-ericsson-bringing-ice-cream-sandwich-to-xperia-handsets/ yay!
[Xperia Play General] Nextron:
Nope it's real. When the 2.3.3 came, SE promised the ICS update nexht year and was written on the SE Nederland facebook profile.
[Xperia Play General] Abaddon:
don't worry. ICS will come to all gingerbread devices (pre-sold with gingerbread) an some older devices which is capable. aroung 80% on most devices.

google confirmed. wait for 2-3 mos.

and we all know what a great JOB SE is doing providing us updates frequently so that's a sign

now let's close this thread
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Google can't decide whether or not a device gets ics or not except for the googles nexus series. The creator upgrades are up to the dev team of the company that made the phone.

Nahhh i think i heard something abaut a 18 month thing that the manufactures have to update there divices if they can run the new android version or is that only for devices with pre-installed Ice cream sandwich?
