[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've put in a request for a Kyocera Echo forum, but have not heard anything. I realize it's not a real popular phone, but there are still those of us that bought it and even love it.

Are there any other XDA Echo owners?

J
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kertong:
Me :)

I've had pretty much every flagship phone from all the carriers, and I consider myself pretty technologically capable (I recently left my sr. systems administration career, doing software/firmware engineering on broadcom/mips boards now). I just recently had the evo 4g (on sprint, tmo/verizon is a diff story haha), and dumped that for an echo. I was a bit hesitant at first, but after 3-4 days with the echo, I no longer regret/worry about it :)

Seems like I'm in the minority though, most of the people enjoying these are fresh former-feature-phone recruits.

I'd love to see some active dev support for this device on XDA though - aside from the atrocious battery life and black bar, all problems and quirks I see with the device are software related. Nothing a custom ROM can't fix.. I'm no stranger to compiling linux kernels, porting hardware SDKs over, etc, but I am pretty new to it when it comes to android-specifics. Would love to help, though.

I imagine if/when kyocera releases the source for the echo, we'll see more activity here? One can only hope... :) How is everyone liking their echo so far? Seems to be so polarizing, you either love it, or you hate it (without even having to try it out).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
That has been my experience when reading people's comments about the Echo. And to be honest, I feel like my battery life hasn't been that bad at all. Perhaps, I don't use the phone like others, I don't know. But I barely use it as a phone, and more like a small computer (especially since I have the dual screens). My Echo gets WAY more use than my previous phone ever did.

That being said, my previous phone was a rooted Hero running AOSP Gingerbread, Fire Rats custom partitions, and a custom kernel (though I can't remember what). I pretty much squeezed all the performance out of that little phone that I could.

I would love to see some dev love for the Echo. I would attempt it, but I know next to nothing about coding, and have very little desire to learn, I have enough other hobbies in my life.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kertong:
Oh, hey, jasonkc25!! I didn't see your username at first. Just wanted to thank you - before I bought the echo, I was surfing and scouring the internet for every "non-megasite review" I could find. Your post on the echo on page 3 of one of the xda echo threads was what sealed the deal for me.

And like you, this phone gets WAY more use from me, always with both screens, which probably explains why the 2 hours I spend on it feels like 30 minutes, making the perception of battery life a lot worse. But yeah, if I leave the phone idling, it'll go all day and then some, so I guess everyone's mileage varies :)

Thanks Jason! It's a great phone, and I too would love to see some dev love. I *think* I can get a very bare bones, vanilla, single-screen android running on the echo, but it'll be next to useless until Kyocera releases their source for their dual display drivers, tablet mode extensions, simultask framework, etc...

I hope somebody much smarter and more experienced than i fall in love with the echo the same way we have. :)

And good news. Gingerbread for the Echo on August 1:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-gingerbread-update-coming-starting-august-1/

Of course, I could never install the last update and the local sprint store said there wasn't an update. Hopefully, this one will actually work.

I love the comments from non-Echo owners pissed off that the Echo is getting an update so soon and phones like the Epic 4g are still missing GB. And then they blame Sprint, I think they should be blaming Samsung personally. Perhaps Kyocera is a little more on the ball with their devices.

Is anyone else having issues with their keyboard backlight with the official non-rooted gingerbread leak? Mine seems to not stay lit in dark rooms, and I don't remember having as much of an issue with this with froyo. Trying to narrow this down to either the rom or the sensor itself. Putting my thumb over the sensor also doesn't consistently trigger the light back on either.

It did that for me with several roms. I reflashed the final gingerbread leak and seems to have gone away. Actually I was having problems with the test leak not lighting up keyboard, but for some reason after flashing the nandroid I made of the leak and light worked fine.

[Shift General] Flanimal:
I'm still running my Shift with the original 1Gb of RAM and its original slow 40Gb hard drive.

Readyboost using the SD card has been discussed plenty on these forums, with the general conclusions that it doesn't make much difference because the extra processing probably eliminates the gain in read speed.

But I am surprised that no-one has discussed using readyboost with a USB stick. Obviously this is only of use when the HTC Shift is sitting on a desk. This site has concluded in the past the read/write speed to the SD card is limited by the shift, and using a faster SD card does not make a difference. But USB memory is quite different, and the HTC Shift is capable of reading and writing to the USB memory stick very quickley indeed.

So I would have thought it would be a no-brainer, when using your HTC Shift on a desktop, to bung in a modern 8Gb USB stick with Readyboost enabled for the full 8gb (or more). I do this, and although I don't perceive any increases in speed, I would have thought an 8Gb cache would really help a slow 40Gb hard drive bottleneck. Unfortunetely I'm too rubbish technically to perform any sort of performance text.

I'm running Windows 7 BTW, but the same idea applies to Vista.
[Shift General] axelTP2:
Probably readyboost is efficient when Shift has to deal with a lot a small files requiring frequent reads and writes, where the flash memory has better access times than the HDD. I'm not experienced to point out to such cases, but as you say in most of the cases you cannot perceive an increased speed.

But maybe there are other members here who can be more specific.

Anyway, I'm using XP for which readyboost does not work, but there are commercial programs available,

Ugh.

I've been through most ROM's and numerous Kernels. Sense ROM's. AOSP ROM's Froyo. GB.....

I am still absolutely totally frustrated by the battery life.

I am currently running SR4 with Lou's number 8. SetCPU with screen off setting 245000

I unplugged my phone at 8:04 this morning. Some light Foursquaring, light Facebook chatting (about 10 messages in total) 4 minutes of phone calls

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisPeezy:
it sounds like there might be something keeping your phone awake or you got a bad battery? I've been running SR4 with Lous 8 and easily get a full day's use out of it. bump charge gives me a couple extra hours of juice too. stock battery btw
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhetstone02:
Also, if you do not have a constant signal, you can say goodbye to your battery. I work in a plant and my phone searches in and out for signal all day. Sometimes bounce from 0-2 bars all day. It doesn't help that I live out in the boonies either :(

I unplug my phone at 6am every morning and a few text messages and a couple emails later, I'm looking at 25% at 9am.

To back that up, I went to Charlotte this past weekend, I had full service. My phone was off the charger Thursday at 3pm, and headed to Charlotte. My phone did not die until Friday night/ Saturday morning. And I constantly used Facebook BC I was so happy I had enough signal to have it load everything :D and text like crazy when I went out with my friend.

And now I'm back home, back at work ... enjoying this 3-5 hour use of a battery.

SN: I am using the stock battery. ROM and Kernel is in the sig.

I'm using the second beta of Chads Incredikernel. It can be found here:

http://chad0989.dyndns.org/2.6.38.6-incredikernel-beta2.zip

I'm also using an undervolt script that he made, and made some adjustments for even better battery life. There are 3 different undervolt scripts on his downloads page ( http://chad0989.dyndns.org/). They are:

setvdd_levels-4202011_signed.zip

setvdd_levels-5052011_signed.zip

setvdd_levels_signed.zip

The bottom one with no date is the most aggressive, giving you the overall lowest voltages for your CPU. But, it may result in reboots, depending on whether or not your phone will be stable with such low voltages. The 4202011 one is a bit less aggressive, but should be stable on more phones. Finally, the 5052011 one is the least aggressive out of them, but it should be stable (your mileage may vary lol).

If you get reboots with one, flash the next one thats not as aggressive and hopefully it'll work for you. If you get reboots on the least aggressive one, just remove the 95havsvdd file from /system/etc/init.d.

I hope I helped you (and anyone else that may have read this hefty post! Lol)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris7os:
try this

Two things that will kill your battery faster than anything:

-Anything that syncs

-your screen

So, turn your brightness and screen timeout down and turn off anything you don't need syncing all the time, or at least turn the sync frequency down.

Also, keep your wifi, vibration, tactile feedback, and gps off unless you really need it.

Kernels, roms, undervolting...no where near as effective.

Think about your phone as a smaller version of a laptop (which it pretty much is), what's going to save you the most energy: throttling your cpu speed, or turning the screen brightness down?

Much love brother

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I bought a G2 second hand a few months ago and it's served faithfully, but I think by using a belt pouch with a magnetic closure hosed it up - if not, then the timing is one hell of a coincidence as these both started right at about the same time.

First problem - car home keeps popping up. I've been able to disable it, but if the G2 is like many other phones, it uses a magnet to sense whether or not it's in a car dock.

Second problem - speaker phone. The phone defaults to the speaker phone when I place a call or answer one, leaving me to have to turn off the speaker in favor of the earpiece.

It's not ROM specific - I've tried various ROMs in an attempt to remedy but I think the damage is done.

Any thoughts? Am I completely off in left field here?

Edit - 5/17

Issue resolved by performing a SuperWipe and then reinstalling ROM!

[General Questions and Answers] Corey Bryant:
I thought I read it on this board but now I cannot find it. It was something about a user taking the beta packages on here and then registering the name on the Android Market.

The post went on to say the user should register the name before posting the beta.

Do you have to be signed up as a developer before registering these names?

And if so, if I am paying a person to create the app, should I register myself and upload the app?

A few things come to mind - if I pay the developer and he uploads it, I won't have access to it or anything, right? But if I upload it and the developer puts some type of an Easter Egg or something, then I would be liable and Google would not allow me to upload any more apps?
