[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
That IP Webcam app is decent. Been trying to use it to remotely monitor some newborn puppies. I prefer to just put a password up and use the TF's web browser to view in javascript.

I'd like a way to prolong my phones battery though. The phone gets too hot when plugged in via charger. I tried selecting the option to allow it to switch off the screen, as that gobbles a lot of power. Unfortunately this stops it broadcasting. I have my phone so it keeps the wifi on when the screen is off, but cant find out whether its switching off the camera, the cpu, or what its doing when the screen goes off.

Anyone know of an app to keep things alive when the screen is off please?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmullen:
Hi,

My brother recently got a Galaxy SII on T-Mobile (UK) from the Carphone Warehouse. He's had it around a week and is having a huge problem when connecting to his PC via USB.

Basically, whenever he plugs it in he gets a force close on com.android.systemui, which is the notification bar. It disappears and there's no way to get it back other than a factory reset. Rebooting the phone doesn't bring it back.

It's a stock handset, no custom ROMs, no modifications and it's not rooted.

I've search these forums and the only thread that comes close is this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069527

...although my brother has this issue whether USB Debugging is turned on or not.

Can anyone shed any light on this? If there's a known fix that would be great, otherwise I think he's just going to take it back to CPW.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.v:
Hi, has anyone tried the setting "touchscreen: sensitivity" in the Tweaks application installed as part of the CF root kernel for the new Gingerbread firmware?

Generally, it *seems* like the touchscreen is more sensitive anyway compared to stock froyo, but not sure if I'm just dreaming. Just wanted to know really if the setting in the 'tweaks' program to change sensitivity had any risk associated with it, and what is the expected change of behaviour - i.e. is it noticeable improvement, or does it have side-effects?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qdba:
For me it looks like it doesn't matter wether the option "touchscreen: sensitivity" ist set or not. :o

Credits:

birbeck for the usual random java guidance, slushpupie for his previous java guidance, dodgejcr for extreme amounts of testing, and one_love_420 and shift for some great graphics!

testers: JT-, couga6442, happytweak and many others I might have forgot in the furry of three days I built the initial app from scratch.!

Thanks to SDX

Background:

flash_image (bmlwrite) is an extremely useful utility for flashing custom kernels, boot logos and recoveries. This binary has made it possible to easily flash all these items and is used almost everywhere behind the scenes (i.e. in custom recoveries, packaged into kernel /sbin, etc).

Description:

This Android App is a GUI interface for the linux binary, flash_image provided by google in AOSP for loading custom kernels and recovery images onto the phone.

This app allows the flashing of kernels and recovery images in normal android mode.

No recovery or adb needed!

HTC EVO support includes flashing of anykernel type .zip files, boot.img type zip files and recovery.img files!

Current Device Support:

Full Kernel, Logo and Recovery flashing: Samsung Moment, Transform, Intercept and Acclaim - the s3c6410 series of devices

Full Kernel (Anykernel and boot.img) Flashing and Recovery flashing: HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO, Nexus S/Nexus S 4G & LG Optimus

Full Kernel (zImage) Flashing: Samsung Epic

Full Recovery Flashing: HTC Shift (need testers for kernel flashing)

Future Support:

Looking for feedback regarding making the app more user friendly or simplier to use for the HTC EVO. Thanks!

Install Directions:

Install process is the same as any other .apk. Download to computer and adb push or mount sdcard on computer and copy over or download directly to the phone. Use any file manager, adb, connectbot/terminal emulator to install.

My preferred method, maybe a bit technical: adb install c:\downloads\FlashImageGUI.apk

Download Locations

Market (99 cents!): Flash Image GUI

Release versions (free from my personal hosting): Flash Image GUI

Contact:

Any questions, comments, concerns, or issues, please post in this thread or send me an email! Thanks for all the help and support!

FAQ:

Q: Will this app support a marketplace to pick and chose kernels from?

A: No. Use Kernel Manager!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KBizzle:
So this can be used to flash boot animations as well?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mexlos:
Wow, joey, that sounds pretty awesome! :)

So if I flash to a different kernel from the app will the phone reboot itself? I'm guessing it would have to because your phone would have to rebuild the Dalvik cache after the app wiped it to install the new kernel...

And if that's the case, is it a hot restart? I know if you do a hot reboot with 4G enabled sometimes it breaks the 4G.

Anyway just some questions, gonna download the app and give it a shot. Thanks for sharing! Hope you don't get flamed for posting in the wrong section, I think an app like this belongs in the dev section. ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sirmx:
Do you have some decent error checking in this to prevent users from flashing something stupid? I know you can't prevent everything, and I'm looking forward to some "lols I flashed a radio to my boot image and now it won't work!"

Anyway, cool app. Kind of like Kernel Manager, but with some extra sauce on the side.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] joeykrim:
Great question. Originally I viewed loading boot animations as out of scope for tihs app as the boot animation is generally a single .zip file stored in /data/local or /system/media. Flash_image was designed by google to load images into specific partitions on the phone, i.e. boot (kernel), recovery, etc. Some phones varied in what was stored in the partitions but I don't think I've ever seen animations stored in a single partition requiring flash image to load.

In the sense of the term "flash" being used pretty liberally to "apply" or "load" something on the phone, I could easily add support to load boot animation.zip files onto the phone, but I think that would be out of scope for this app as the core linux binary, flash_image (app is named after and uses) doesn't support boot animation loading.

It is definitely a good idea and perhaps worth me putting together a small app to help manage boot animations? By manage I'm thinking, loading, backing up, etc?

Yea, the phone will definitely require a reboot after flashing a kernel with clear dalvik or cache checked and the app will prompt for reboot. Clearing dalvik/cache while android is running, in my experience, will require a reboot almost immediately and the app requires this with a large warning against waiting to reboot.

Post got moved pretty quickly to a diff board. I did think the app was more useful for developers to test their own kernels/recoveries (as that is what I use it for), but seems the moderator disagreed. Either way, I do appreciate the support!

Definitely have a lot of error checking in here. In fact, this app has way more alert dialog boxes than any app I've wrote before. I prompt and ask for confirmation at multiple points. Owning an EVO and developing for the last 11 months on it have given me great insight in how to customize the app for the HTC EVO. I don't think it is very easy to accidently flash the wrong .img w/o confirming at LEAST once the action you're taking!

If there are points in the workflow you think could use another warning or prompt, let me know and I can definitely add it in!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for all the support and I welcome feedback, positive or negative, as long as it can help me improve the app!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SteelH:
Honestly, your app should drastically reduce all the posting where people ask "how do I flash xxxx?" because now they can use a GUI to do the work for them!

[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
I keep reading about this new improved battery life with Gingerbread, however I've found the opposite.

By the time I leave off work, my battery is typically at about 84%, that's with no usage all day. Today is the first time at work I've been running Gingerbread, I'm only half way through the day and my battery is already at 69%, if it keeps draining at this rate, it's going to be down to about 30-40% by the time I've left off!
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
Did you do a factory reset ? It helped me a lot, i'm at 4 days 6 hours with 16% battery remaining.

Also check if you aren't scanning for wifi 24/7.
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
Have you checked what application is draining the battery?
[Desire HD General] beaverHausen:
Google

I had dreadful battery life and discovered that Latitude was polling constantly and also Google Talk.

Make sure you

sign out of both

and see if it makes a difference.
[Desire HD General] auricgoldfinger:
... and disable "Tell HTC" service, it'll help as well.
[Desire HD General] jackalac:
Disable? with force close? :)
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Right, I've disabled Tell HTC, signed out of Google Talk and made sure it doesn't sign in automatically. I've also signed out of Latitude.

The top four things listed on the battery usage are:

- Display = 34%

- Wi-Fi = 15%

- Android System = 13%

- Dialer = 13%

All others are pretty much under 10%.

I'd rather avoid doing a factory reset due to the amount of information and length of time it's taken me to get everything set up. However, I made the mistake of thinking that Wifi wouldn't be used if mobile network was on. My plan was that I would then connect straight away to Wifi when I was at home, and when it lost the signal it would switch to my mobile network. Well, this seems to work fine, however obviously as shown above, it's still using a fair bit of battery. I think I'll just start turned Wifi off completely until I'm going to use it.

I have had gingerbread RUU for 1 week now. With Froyo I used to get 15-30 hours depnding on wether I used 3g or Wifi(Wifi more conservative of battery). Since GB update my maximum battery lasts for 12 hours. I have noticed severe battery drain uder WiFi. Previously with 2.2 with the phoned switched off at night with Wifi enabled, the battery would drain approx 7% in 7 hours. Well today I did the same test switched off phone,left wifi enabled and the battery dropped from 90% to 46% in 7 hours which equates to 7% an hour with the screen off!:mad:

This is unacceptable! I sent HTC an email to expalin this but all I got was list of ways to reduce battery life such as swich off wifi, move to 2g, switth off live wallpaper etc etc. But all of this is absolutely of no use if the battery is draining at 7% an hour with the screen off. As I mentioned before with 2.2 the wifi drainage was small approx 1% with screen off.

Can someone suggest a solution?

1)Should I contact HTC again?

2)Try a custom ROM?

I havent tried a custom rom yet as the phone has been runnning well minus poor battery but I may have to if a solution cannot be found.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I noticed the same drain as well when I updated, but after a few days of testing I found that the problem was with one of my apps widgets. My guess is that the app is not efficient on gingerbread.

After removing the widget, everything was fine again.

I was looking at 3rd party apps because they are the ones that are less likely to have been tested for am update from HTC. I tried an old school trial and error methodology starting with the ones with active widgets.

About seemingly important process and built in apps, try adjusting the sync schedule instead of actually ending the processes. This will give you both functionality of the process while saving you power.
[Desire HD General] :
You guys seem to be getting pretty bad battery drain from quite a lot of things. To be honest, I'd say that if you were to wipe completely and switch to a different ROM, you'd probably sort out your problems. Not what you wanting to hear, but if you are getting drain like that then something isn't right.

[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
That may not be necessary. There is nothing wrong with HTC's Rom. I think we just need to adjust our settings and preferences. To be truthful, custom ROM's do exactly the same thing, just more elaborately.

I no longer have battery problems after moving forward from blaming HTC's update to thinking logically. As it turns out, app developers need to adjust to HTC's Rom and not the other way around.
[Desire HD General] Boomey:
Huh, this is strange. If I plug in my phone to my computer so it charges and after a couple of seconds unplug it, all of the battery statistics wipe itself, including all the power-hungry processes like the dialer and wifi, leaving me with the display having the dominant percentage with everything else hovering around 15%.

Now all I need is a constant power source and this will be temporarily averted. :D
