[Galaxy S II General] SBS_:
If it stays awake all the time, something is _wrong_. If I don't use my phone the only awake time I can see in the battery status is every 15 mins (approx) when it goes "awake" a couple of seconds to update all the **** I have updating. It never stays awake all the time.

edit:

And just to give some more info. Mine is still stock on KE2 with all the crap Samsung put in the phone still in place.
[Galaxy S II General] marvi0:
sorry for highjacking your thread, but how do you guys get all this awake battery time info, is there a particular app you guys use.?
[Galaxy S II General] Sanchless:
Tap the graph at the top of the battery page.
[Galaxy S II General] El Salvador:
I think I experienced the same thing this night. I lost about 10% in 7 hours but the graph still showed that my phone was awake all the time.

Again, I turned the Wifi and 3G off. I'm still running the stock KE2 firmware together with all the Samsung apps. I haven't rooted it yet.

Also, Maps and Social Hub seemed to be active a lot when I look at their stay awake times.
[Galaxy S II General] rassnik:
bump.

to much awake time here as well.

how can i find out whats causing it?
[Galaxy S II General] TheBishopOfSoho:
I'd put money on it being widgets. Remove all the widgets from home screens, restart the phone and see if that fixes it. You can thank me later ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] dseo80:
try watchdog, or adb logcat
[Galaxy S II General] drspikes:
I have this problem from time to time, killing wifi sharing stopped it for me. Comes back once a day for no reason I can see. 1 Kill a day keeps the phone last a full day for me.
[Galaxy S II General] qasdfdsaq:
Yeah I also see the occasional WTF moment when the phone suddenly decides in the middle of the day to stay awake 100% of the time. Battery then drains about the same 5-10% an hour you see. Not sure what causes it but a reboot usually fixes it, battery drain goes back to 0.5%-2% an hour that it usually sits at.

Sometimes I also see wifi sharing eating a constant ~50% of CPU, at which point battery drains more like 25% an hour, though not sure if it's related. If only I could disable the damn thing without rooting.
[Galaxy S II General] kj789:
I also have this weird problem. My 2g data connection remains on because I receive a lot of emails so Ive enabled push notifications. However the problem is even when the screen is off, the phone stays awake 100% of the time.

I went to sleep after completely charging the phone at around 11pm and when I woke up at around 9 am, the battery was at 30%. That is 70% battery gone for not doing anything at all. Really need a solution for this guys. Or should I just turn off my data connection?
[Galaxy S II General] ProNewb:
i had this prob with Widgetsoid installed.

Problem gone when i removed it.
[Galaxy S II General] yooyo3d:
Find on XDA BetterBatteryStats app.. Use phone for a while then run app. Check detected wakelocks. Based on that you can hunt which app or widget keep device always on.

Phone works normally if you compare Screen On and Awake graphs. Both graphs should match. Awake periods can be sometimes be out of screen-on intervals, but no too often.

In my case, I found that maps keep my phone awake.. then I figired that weather widget kep tracking my location (and uses maps for this). Also Lattitude uses maps to track location. When I configure weather widget to not track my location (im usually always in a home town) and turn off latitude, lots of awake periods dissaperar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] chrispazz:
Best way to integrate flickr in gallery (like picasa)?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] timtlm:
I have been looking for this for the past year on my evo using cm7. I really wish Flickr would come out and make their own app. This shows how much yahoo is not invested in improving the existing Flickr experience. Most people are satisfied with using low res Facebook, and Flickr has become stagnant from an investors perspective.

Anyway, there are a number of different apps out there that you can view Flickr photos with. There's "just pictures", which acts as a replacement gallery, and you can view Flickr, Facebook, and others. Flicka was the most promising app with a lot of features. It hasnt been updated in a long time, but according to the website it is going through a rewrite, and hopefully will get a lot better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Hi,

Ive just come across SPB Shell 3D and although it costs $15 or something on the market it seems really nice. Has anyone tried it on their G2X?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Nah. Not because I have a problem spending $15 on a quality app but because it would remind me of the horrors I put up with in the WINMO days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Carloswithac:
I liked it, but right now there isn't enough customization to justify the price. The widgets are nice, but it's mostly eye candy. I went back to LauncherPro.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheBigSaxon:
I'm using and I really like it. I think it's actually alot more customizable than people think but it all depends on what type of customizations you want. I like widgets and SPB has the best widgets I've seen since Sense.

I use SPB and Widgetsoid to my homes. I will also add that since doing the root and freeze I have a near perfect G2X. I also use the FlexT9 keyboard which resolved the keyboard lag issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zspy1985:
I would say get Launcher Pro Plus. It it has a cube effect for the different screens kinda like the 3D effect in the app draw (that comes with it as well) it will bend an entire screen.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sobis1dm:
I've read conflicting reports on whether this process is necessary or as beneficial as with a non-SBC kernel. When I reboot, my battery percentage jumps pretty wildly (sometimes double) and I know it's probably because I've avoided calibrating it... How many here calibrate/wipe with their SBC kernels?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootny:
All the time...no problems here...look up tips to extended battery life also try different kernels

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarlowXim:
I'll be getting a galaxy tab soon and I'm familiar with galaxy s series modifications and kernel hacking.

I've seen the phone hack modification and basically is speaker phone. However is it possible to use an inline 3 prong or the jack doesn't support it?

Or it does support it such as audio comes out wrong on the headset and it needs to be remapped and no one has attempted to?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssserpentine:
It comes with headphone that have a mic on it. I use the headphones for all my calls. Speakerphone creates feedack.

Hit the thanks button if I have belped at all!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarlowXim:
OK thank you. Thought had to do some kernel hacking with the headset to get it to work.

Thanks for the heads up

I would like to watch movies stored on my shared hard drive of computer desktop from the Asus transformer MyNet. I can see my share drive on the left hand side of the panel; but when I go to that drive, I could not see the SMB drive where I stored the movies in. Could someone help?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jms_uk:
Cant say about My Net, but I can browse Samba shares just fine using Ghost Commander if that's useful info for you..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marinierb:
MyNet is a DLNA client, not a Samba or CIFS client. You need a DLNA server on your desktop in order to stream your media.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bithir:
I use ES File Explorer and it works for copying to local disk. For direct viewing, UPnplay, Moboplayer and Mediatomb works very well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itaintrite:
Ditto. I use PS3 Media Server. Works very well.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miopets:
I installed Ghost Commander and the SMB plug in; but still don't know how to connect with shared samba drives.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
Same here, please anybody knows how to connects, let me know!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbs:
Try ES File Explorer... it supports SMB streaming and it doesn't copy the files anymore.

Works great with MoboPlayer :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soniboy84:
Hm.. that should be smart, I actually have Mobo player on my TF.

I only like the double view of Ghost commander, and ES is too much eyecandy for me.

Still, if anybody knows it, please help!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tau_:
I was lucky enough to receive a GT 10.1 from Google I/O, however when I do not use it for some amount of time, it behaves as if it shut down. Pressing the power button for about 10s will cause it to boot normally. The time needed for this to happen is the range of a few hours, I mainly notice it overnight. Has anyone else had this problem?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aygriffith:
It's happened once on mine. There's a thread about it on the forum. I think most users are having to hard cycle the power by holding down the power button for about 10+ seconds. Hopefilly its another pre release oddity that gets solved with a software update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jdavet:
I haven't experienced that in mine. Hopefully it somehow gets fixed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tau_:
I think it has happened two or three times on mine. I did root it and froze some of the samsung apps with titanium backup. I restored them thinking that might help. At any rate, I'm hoping that the 3.1 update will fix these issues.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aygriffith:
Mine isn' t rooted, so i don't think that's the issue.

There seems to be a laundry list of stuff I'm finding, this problem included. I hope that 3.1 update is indeed in "a few weeks" like they said in the keynote and doesnt turn into months. If the I/O GT-P7510 was a consumer facing product we'd all be reading stories about high return rates by now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] oxeneers:
Yeah, this has happened to me many times. The "sleep" mode apparently turns the device off completely. Ugh.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tau_:
I have tried looking at the logcat but it doesn't seem to have any entries from before I powered it on from sleep (at least none that show up in DDMS in Eclipse). Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can try to get some info about the device during a long idle period.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] enisoc:
Try leaving it plugged in to your computer with DDMS running overnight. That should preserve the log even after it freezes. Be sure to unplug it from the computer before rebooting the tablet or it might clear the log upon boot.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Chandelure:
It has to be. Didn't google say they were forcing OEMs and carriers to update?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sloppyjimbob:
I've noticed the same issue as well, probably 4 or 5 times. I'm going to leave it plugged into my computer to night to see the logcat file.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tau_:
The power issues are becoming more frequent. In the past two days I have heard two spontaneous reboots from my GT 10.1, with perhaps others that have gone unnoticed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sloppyjimbob:
So i left it plugged in to logcat last night, and there was no shutdown. It looks like mine only turns off when charging via power outlet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] -Pagan-:
Just adding that I'm not having any issues with crashing or reboots at all with my IO 10.1. Maybe I'm in the minority but my Sammy has been flawless since the first boot. My only complaint is that it think I'm in the U.K so my clock is always off (heard there's an app to fix that but too lazy to deal with it at the moment).

I will watch for the charging bug and see if I can replicate it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EvoXOhio:
I Had this issue a lot with my Xoom and my transformer. That was o of the biggest reasons that I returned them. It's looking like it's a honeycomb issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] aygriffith:
Well when they went over that whole "forcing" of carries to update in the press only event after the keynote it came out that its a goal more of a requirement. So don't hold your breath. It surely does not mean that when the Nexus devices get a new build of Android that your average skinned carrier phone will the next day.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Viperoz:
Mines powering off 4-5 times a day and I have seen a few reboots. I must say its not impressing me at the moment seeing I was ready to launch my Xperia x10 out the window for rebooting for no reason.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Viperoz:
SO my tab shut down again last night. So I just left it didn't need it on Saturday just too busy. I turn it on tonight and to my amazement the battery is at 24% from nearly full. It sorta confirmed my suspicions the GT isnt shutting down its locking up with the screen off. Has anyone else noticed this or suspected it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] enisoc:
I always suspected it was locked up with the screen off because if it was shut down, it wouldn't need a super long press to power on again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bcmobile:
I have the Vodafone 10.1v and it has the same issue. I have only ever seen it when connected to my PC though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tau_:
I agree, if mine locks up overnight it usually has lost 10-15% battery by the morning. Which is much more than if it was actually off.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Viperoz:
Im running google maps alot use it for work. Getting very sick of the lock ups i installed an app called Watchdog that tracks CPU usage and alerts when a program gets out of control. Well a few hours after i installed it "com.google.android.apps.maps:BackgroundFriendService" pops up and I cant kill it like your ment to be able to. So I kill off the google maps which is still running then kill it it came back again but at 0.0% instead of 94% of cpu. Lets see if I get a crash overnight now.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Mr17:
Did anyone ever get this resolved? I've been having this issue a couple times a day... This is the only thread I found that talks about it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Viperoz:
No still has random lockups/shutdowns not as many recently but still have the same issues. Still waiting for my replacement from Vodafone for this issue and for bad screen bleeding.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
I know exactly what you mean. At the same time, consumers outcry when manufacturers delay devices to address problems. I'd much rather manufacturers delay devices to fix issues like these than to release on time with the intention of fixing later (and at the risk that sometimes those fixes never come). I do honestly believe these devices were really rushed for the Google IO event which is probably why some of these issues are coming about.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeff.hillman:
My Google IO Galaxy Tab 10.1 didn't start doing this until I had been using it for about three weeks. I did a full factory reset and it hasn't it done it since. A reset is a pain, but it worked for me. Based on my experience I'm guessing that it is a software issue; hopefully 3.1 will resolve it....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] divineblue:
I dont have the I/O version. i have the grey 32gb model and it shut down last night while it was plugged in. I have only seen it do this while it has been plugged in after battery reaches 100%
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] donharden2002:
I just got home with my new infuse a little bit ago and have it rooted already.

I used super one click latest version which I believe is 1.9.1

Worked like a charm. Now we just need some dev support and a version if cwm that will work.

GG.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] donharden2002:
Tried the inspire liked it but was too heavy. Screen wasn't nearly as nice as the infuse though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eroracing:
cant get mine to root just says waiting for device. What am i doing wrong
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zardos66:
That phone's battery is way to small.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] donharden2002:
I had to restart my laptop and then it worked for me. I was getting the same thing at first. Try downloading the samsung usb drivers again also. Had to do that also.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] donharden2002:
I agree, the inspire should have had already a 1500 battery. The 1750 on my infuse seems to be doing pretty well so far.

I just sold a nexus s and would say the screen on it was as nice as the screen on the infuse.

I thought the ns screen was better than my captivate even though they were basically the same.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eroracing:
where did you get the drivers?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] donharden2002:
Do you have any samsung drivers installed at all?

I d/l the drivers for my captivate a long time ago and they have updated themselves with each new phone.

I started with the drivers from ponack.net in the installing cognition post.

I'm not a dev so I'm not much help but I will try as much as possible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] donharden2002:
Someone else posted the site where I got the latest version of super one click.

You can also search super one click in the forums and I think there will be a link for the drivers there also.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alephnaut:
Had it. Dual led flash ruins indoor low light shots. Plus no front facing cam....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] crawlgsx:
Not to mention the Screen is way nicer, you can actually HEAR the sounds with out any boost, it's thinner and lighter, and You can get the battery door off without breaking something.

My Inspire goes to Ebay today, loving my new Infuse!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] eroracing:
No I don't have any drivers. When I plug myinfuse in it say driver not installed. When I go to device manager it has a yellow ! And when I try to update drivers it says drivers cannot be lockated. I gave up last night but will try again when I get off of work.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacoden:
Hi!

I just got my nexus s. When Im talking to someone else on the phone, the person I'm calling sounds very crackly. The crackling appears while having the volume > 50%. If its at 50% and lower the speaker sounds just fine. Another thing I noticed is that holding my thumb onto the speaker eliminates the crackling.

I think that I'm going to return the phone. Just wanted to know if I'm the only one having that kind of trouble.

The exact description of the phone is GT-I9023FSAC NX in case some one asks.

Thanks a lot!

[EVO 4G General] MultiDev:
Since there was no unified thread for this, I created one.

As everyone knows, Netflix is working on the Evo, but only on CM7 and Froyo Sense ROMs.

Those of us with the gingerbread sense (1, 2 or 3) ROMs don't have working Netflix.

I have been reading through the various ROM's threads and it seems that we don't really know what is going on. The app makes it as far as the loading/buffering screen before turning completely white and then goes back to the app home screen.

So I create this thread with 2 purposes

-to keep a central thread that all Evo owners can discuss the issue

-to attempt to find out what is wrong

-to hopefully fix a workaround/fix.

I know we can simply switch to CM7 or rollback to 2.2, but I really like having GB with sense and I'm sure others agree with me.
[EVO 4G General] Warboy:
I agree, On all the Gingersense roms I've tried it does the same thing.

[EVO 4G General] MultiDev:
Does anyone know what the specific issue is?

It is it something that can be fix via flashable zip or does it require significant changes that necessitate a complete ROM flash?

Does anyone know what the fix is or does?

I'd like to try it out and if possible, make it usable on all ROMs, so we don't have to rely on his ROM (not that there is anything wrong with his ROM).

netflix on 2.3.4

Netflix is working on my Evo and I'm running deck's 1.2c, which I believe is 2.3.4 . I'm don't remember re-downloading netflix when i flashed 2.3.4 because I came from mikfroyo's 4.62 . I used TB to restore and it works just fine.
