The camera app drain is one thing... I deleted some SE stuff which was still working in the background, so it reduced first draining way...I was happy few days, because battery life was cool, after 14 h of use it has about 40% left. Till today, the drainig came back and I dont know why:

I checked running process and there was something like that com.sonyericsson.usbdevice (dont know exactly but something with usb) I closed it and draining stopped...:-[

I suppose this process is related to charging and plugging to usb as the name suggest. Now I wonder if I can froze or delete this app?

My battery life has been increased after rooting and removing bloatware apps & moving all my apps to sd.

The only issue is with the camera, after using it my battery goes up to 40-50 mAh, while im normally on 4mAh. So, we all hope for a software update by SE to fix it..
[Xperia Arc General] piercewei:
My battery is awesome. With 3G on, BT on, my Arc lasts at least 2 days under moderate use.

However, it seems that someones really have the battery drain issue. I dont understand why and how to solve it. Just like my X10, I got serious battery issue while I read many posts showing how good their battery time were.

Quick one on undervolting

When i start the app .. at the top right i limit the cpu to 1ghz (dont want to overclock)

then under the 1ghz option below i select -200 for undervolting.

then press apply for now.

My Q ... does one need to set -200 for each of the clocking levels? Or how do i affectively get a consistent -200 across all clocking levels?

many thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
First test in -75 mV increments. Under each frequency with upper level your max clock speed (1 Ghz in your case). Then test for freezes lags and death sleep (dont panic death sleep is NOT a brick!your UV tab doesnt wakeup from standby on a hard boot flushes the uv settings to default and your tab is up and running). If you hve stable settings uv more till you to the right voltage that causes no issues. You can uv to -200 mV from the start. But this the way the experts taught me so :)

I'd like to know if there are any efficient and dependable apps for Syncing (Both Backup And Restore) SMSes with GMail.

I tried SMS Backup+; it does backup all the SMSes to GMail pretty well, but when it comes to restoring it - does not restore all the SMSes.

I tried many other apps as well... All of 'em seem to have a problem with restoring the SMSes.

So, I'd like y'all to suggest some good apps that serves my purpose.

Thank You. :)

I'm running Free X10 at the moment. I've been away for abotu a month and just checked the dev forum which appears to be swamped with roms and other things...

So... which is the latest, stable rom with a fully working camera and camcorder please (i.e. which rom should I be using to keep full functionality of my phone)?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aval1392:
Welp if you woulda asked yesterday i woulda recommened Trips MIUI but im gonna have to go with wolfbreaks ROM or Z's 2.2 if you want a smooth and complete ROM. Both are basically almost 100% stable.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
There are a few 2.2 roms. I've only really used wolfbreaks and kxhawkins, both are stable, with full functionality. rdannar has a stable 2.3.3 rom(which I'm currently using as my baseband is 54 and don't want to change), very fast and stable but, as with all 2.3 roms, no camera.

trip's Miui 2.3.4 was having working camera....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khimera:
It basically depends on what type of rom you want.

2.1 roms

2.2 roms

2.3 roms

MIUI is the way to go if you like iphone like style. Currently you have few versions floating around and one of the best MIUI roms is not available anymore. These MIUI ROMS are again based on 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 versions of android. 2.3 is the lastest and greatest and is lamost fully working when it comes to MIUI. I think the one you can get from forum is rdannar's and formels and rdanner's MIUI roms

If you want the Android like roms, then there are lots of 2.1 roms are floating around. If you want to be with stock SE features along with a nice root and camera, then 2.1 rom is the way to go

2.2 roms which were intermediate (intermediate because now we have 2.3 roms) which was originally unstable but now is 100% stable thanx to all our important developers which may not (or may ) have all the SE features.Once you step to 2.2 and above roms, you will lose the SE syncml options (the one which syncs to SE site) and you will be dependent on the google sync mostly. Wolfbreaks and Rendiero's roms were extremely popular in 2.2 roms

2.3 roms which is the latest and greatest of all but not many roms to choose from. We have SuperAOSP, SuperARc and now HD MIUI from rdannar, Cyanogenmod7 from Jerpelea which are popular but you have many new chefs now so you can expect to see more ROMS

I am not biased towards any developer. I just look at the way the ROM functions and also these are my views. So dont use this as means of fighting. I personally like Android based style more than iphone style so i have tried only one or two MIUI roms so far (One was Trips MIUI and the other was formel's by rdannar (i think) were very stable and fun to use)

But personally, I like Android style a lot. So i was always juggling between Wolfbreak's and Scamble's rom before i completely shifted towards 2.3 roms.

Now i juggle between CM7 from J, SuperAOSP and SuperARC with greater affinity towards SuperAOSP since i find it very stable

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Fitted a new LCD screen to a friends Topaz as LCD had 2 greenish black ink blotches near centre of LCD.

He thought they had been caused by a recent small drop onto a carpet floor from bed height.

No visual damage is visible (no cracks or impact marks what so ever)

The new screen was fitted & worked perfectly but now about a month or 2 on these ink blotches are appearing on the new LCD.

I am assuming now this could be heat related damage perhaps due to a faulty battery unit or charger ?

Any opinions on this from others who may of had similar LCD failure ?

Have yet to test battery/charger for temps under use & charging but thought came to mind when he mentioned battery life seemed poor.

No impact or pressure is possible to lcd directly, replacement screen was original with padding tape already applied & no mechanical defects could be seen to hinder problems to LCD function.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hamsn:
I had this problem earlier with my phone. The issue was that the battery was not in a good condition and the size of it had increased abnormally, it had bulged and become thicker. This caused the back panel to fit tightly on to the phone creating a thrust inwards towards the LCD. Since LCD was fixed in place, it experienced pressure at the center causing an issue similar to yours.

Also, as you said, heat could also be the fault.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
Was this also on a Topaz Diamond 2 ?

The battery on this device did not look swollen (yet to check it during charging cycle for temp/swelling)

Find it hard to believe battery could swell against 2 panels & board with enough force to emit a load on the LCD ! will investigate the possibility of this further when I strip device down.

Did you replace your LCD & battery ? LCD still ok & how long has your new LCD been functioning for ?

Thanks for reply ...

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobbones:
So I ordered a gtablet and read that flashing it will improve its performance, so I plan on doing that.

I read the guide on how to do it.

I realize each one has its good and bad points.

I am not sure what rom to use. I was going to put vegan on it as I have seen a few people recommend it. I was going through posts on the ginger edition of vegan and saw posts of people having trouble with videos. SO I am leaning towards the vegan 5.1 as people say its stable

I mainly will use the tablet to watch movies, read digital books/comics/magazines and web surf. Would vegan ginger be good pick? Seemed like people were having trouble with video.

When the tablet arrives Im assuming that I should not update it to the latest firmware? Ive seen posts about 1.2 not being compatible. Do I need to make sure I am on certain firmware to root/flash?

.

One other quick question. In the tutorial it mention that when you put clockwork on you make new partition. Does this affect the external sdcard, or is it referring to internal memory?

Just want to make sure as I ordered a larger microsd card so I will wait to flash if its needed to partition.

Thanks. If anyone has any tips or tricks you could offer Id appreciate it as well.

THank you
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoreToast:
I'll let others answer your questions since I'm fairly new myself, but I wanted to mention a couple things.

As someone that's certainly computer literate, but completely new to tablets and android, I was able to install Vegan 5.1 following the instructions here. I've been happy with it, but still learning the ropes.

My main issue came from not having a gmail.com email address. My google account was linked to a yahoo email address and that caused issues with Google Talk (which also caused issues with the android marketplace). Other than that, it was fairly painless.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
all of the things you want to do, watch videos, read books, and surf the web can be done on a Stock G-tablet. If you don't like the visual appeal of the stock rom, or want to have root access to flash kernels, etc, then you'll need to flash a custom Rom.

More than likely, the G-tablet will not be on a 1.2 firmware out of hte box. Viewsonic pulled the 1.2 update a day after releasing it. The 1.2 branch of development is working under the assumption that all future updates will be of the 1.2 form. So, if you flash a 1.1 Rom now, you may need to be prepared to flash a 1.2 rom later on, if you want future official updates.

I was usuing Vegan 5.1.1, and it worked well. It was stable, I could watch videos, read books, and surf the web, just like you want to. Recently, I flashed Brilliant Corners, which is a 1.2 version of Vegan 5.1.1. It works just the same, but now I'm prepared for any future 1.2 Roms with updates that may include hardware acceleration. The only Honeycomb rom, right now, is being developed on the 1.2 development branch. It's still in the Alpha stages, but if you ever want ot check it out, you'll need to be on 1.2.

The partitioning in the instructions does refer to the internal SD card. With any Vegan rom (from what I've observed) including Brilliant Corners, you need to add a file to each folder, including the root of the external SD card if you plan on putting any music or video files on it. You need a ".Nomedia" file. If you don't have that file, for some reason, the media gets wiped occasioanlly on reboot, waking, etc.

I have never tried any of the "ginger" roms (CM7 and Veganginger) Neither have true official hardware acceleration from NVidea, which is what causes some of the video issues.

My personal opinion...since you are a new user, and have a virgin G-Tab, I would suggest that you flash a 1.2 Rom. If you like Vegan-Tab 5.1.1, then flashing Brilliant Corners gives you the same thing. It's not that hard a process, but it's more involved than just flashing a 1.1 rom. The advantage you have right now is that you are bone stock, so you're already halfway there.

Regards,

Todd
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobbones:
Doesnt flashing make the tablet run smoother and give you the android market so you have more apps to choose from?

I'll admit Im getting discourage from reading the forum. Seems like after you flash a rom then you have to do alot of this to get that working again afterwards. Like it will be one problem after another.

Is this the case? Or is it just that people dont post when it works only when it doesnt making it seem worse to people looking around.

I was looking around and see some posts about running nvflash first before anything else.

I tried searching for a guide on it but couldnt find one on how to make initial back-up before I start flashing.

Can anyone post the correct link?

I see other posts about clockwork recovery.

So I am not sure what to do.

Should I just follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

or should I do something more?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stipo42:
Don't be discouraged, the problems don't happen to everyone, and most are resolved.

If you know how to work a computer and can follow instructions you should be fine.

I got my g Tablet in april, it still had the original ROM on it, from the time I opened the packaging to the time I got VEGAN Ginger running on it was about 40 minutes, and most of that was from downloading and installing things on my windows machine, lol.

Once I got VEGAN ginger running I haven't had any major issues with it. I have full access to the Android market, the Amazon market, and the NVIDIA market.

The VEGAN ginger runs Tegra games great BTW, Dungeon defenders and GunBroz both run flawlessly.

It's definitely worth it to put a custom ROM on, and VEGAN ginger is a good choice.

If you'd like, later I'll try to put a few movies on it and play them, that's one thing I haven't done. Also I've heard theres a netflix app available, I'll try that as well.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
I would say that originally customs roms made it run smoother, only becuase the original stock rom was pure garbage. As for android market fixes, you don't need a custom rom for them.

It depends on the rom, I think. Some of them are still in development, so aren't the completed versions yet. I can tell you that my first flash of Vegan 5.1.1 worked flawlessly. Everything worked as I expected it when I was done flashing.

This is preventative mantainence...being comfortable with NVflash will help you in case anything goes wrong. People suggest that you are familiar with it because many times, it's the only way to recover from a soft brick.

As I mentioned before, just about everything you want to do can be done on stock firmware. Rooting your device will give you more options, like overclocking, or running custom kernels. It will also give you the option to flash the custom roms, if you ever want to. CWM will give you more recovery options, enabling you to make a backup of your system, etc.

If you find that stock firmware isn't workign up to your standards, then by all means, take the plunge and root your device, install CWM, and flash the rom of your choice.
