Same, the new update seems to have fixed it.

I had to delete all 3rd party keyboards I had installed before it would work.

Just selecting the ASUS one as the default would not work for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbur-force:
nope. just click on the keyboard icon if/when it appears in the status bar (it seems a bit hit and miss) and you can then set the specific keyboard type for the hardware keyboard :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mic_888:
Yeh I had the same problem before I got the keyboard update tonight. All fixed now.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I'm sure there are others who have experienced this problem. Even though I show no wake locks my phone drains at an unacceptable rate while on my Wifi at home. My phone can have a 60% battery when I go to bed, and be almost dead by the time I get up. The only clue that shows up in Android System Info or Spare Parts is network usage by '0' which is something with root access.

This is happening regardless of Rom. I've tried stock, Syndicate Frozen, Urban Fury, Bonsai, Stock Plus, and maybe another I'm forgetting. They all drain the crap out of my battery with wifi on at home so obviously this isn't a rom issue.

This leaves me to believe that either something on my network is forcing data to my phone keeping it from deep sleep, or the router itself is the cause. Turning on my phone to 3G, my battery life is spectacular overnight. It deep sleeps like it's had a case of beer with a bottle of nyquil as a chaser before bed. 1% an hour.

So, I've ordered a different router to see if that's the issue. I've googled my current router which is a D-Link DIR-655 and seems like others have had similar battery drains using that router but no one can emphatically say it for sure is the router. Guess we'll see when the new router arrives if it is indeed the DIR-655. Otherwise the next step is disconnecting everything else that is connected to my network (3 computers, 2 printers, XBox, Wii and a Blu-Ray player. I just wanted to point out to anyone else having issues with wifi and weird battery drain, that it may not be the phone that is the problem.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
I too have massive battery drain when using Wifi. It doesn't matter what Wifi network I'm attached to (work/home/friends/etc), I burn about 10% + per hour on idle; whereas on 3G is burning only ~2%/hour on idle. On stock, Wifi was my battery saving grace.

I've just given up on using Wifi for daily use. I use 3G for everything now. :rolleyes:

I hope the newest version of SFR (whatever the new one will be called) will remedy this problem I have. I haven't posted about it in the rom thread since I had a feeling it was just my phone or another bad flash in CWM.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I've been using that OS Monitor app to try and find the problem. On 3G all the network interfaces have static receive and send amounts as long as I'm not doing anything that requires data. Connected to my home wifi, there is a constant trickle of data.

When I let the phone sit overnight, there was over 4mb of data received, even if I turn off any kind of auto syncs on the phone.
[Epic 4G General] android_mp99:
wifi settings

Don't know if this will work for you but you can try. In the wifi settings click the menu button and select advanced then set the wifi to never sleep. I know it's counter intuitive but I went to sleep last night at 61% and woke to 57%. Wifi has been fine for me since changing that policy in the wifi advanced settings.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
Mine has been set at never sleep since I got the Epic in September, and I double-check after each custom rom flash. :) Good looking out though.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Same here. Mines always been set to never sleep.

Edit: I just tested my phone on my work's wifi network. CPU Spy says it's going into deep sleep just fine. OS monitor shows a static data received/sent number once I was connected. Obviously something about my home network is the problem.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
That is my general experience, too. These settings usually keep my WiFi usage low overnight.

But some nights, inexeplicably, I will wake up to find a large battery hit from WiFi. I don't think it is my WiFi router's problem, unless there is some outage duirng the night I am unaware of. Come to think of it, I had that problem last night but did not investigate early this morning before I left. When I get home, I will check with my laptop to make sure my router is running.
[Epic 4G General] grandmasterjrp:
I have noticed this too and in particular over the past few days. I'm on the latest bonsai build which does have amazing battery life on 3G but now wifi does draithe battery much more than 3G. This never happened before. I have had my wifi set to never sleep. Any other suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Obviously haven't tested it overnight yet, but I shut down my one laptop and the constant data trickle immediately stopped. Right now it's looking like something my computer is running might be the culprit. Going to leave it sit overnight to see how it goes.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I found the cause of my drain! Narrowed it down to something from my laptop as when I shut my computer down at night, the drain would go away. The culprit was the HP Printer software for my wireless printer. Once I uninstalled it, the drain went away. Noticed in resource monitor that HPZinw12 was sending a constant stream of data from my computer. Why in the hell it would be also sending to my phone keeping it from sleeping seems pretty odd, but I recommend if anyone else who is having battery problems over wifi and happen to also have an HP printer, you might want to look into this as well.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I'd also add that my solution to getting rid of the problem and still being able to use my printer was just to uninstall the crappy HP software that came with the printer and add the printer through the control panel and let windows 7 install it. It doesn't throw on that HPZinw12 file that apparently polls the entire network constantly.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Since I have been experiencing similar symptoms intermittently and I also have a WiFi printer, I have tried to eliminate this as a potential cause. (I don't run an HP control app on my laptop, but already map the printer directly in Windows 7 like you suggest.)

In my case, I still get the excessive WiFi battery drain, and low battery level upon waking, sometimes overnight. But other nights the problem does not occur. So lately I have made sure that my laptop and printer are powered down before bedtime. And like you, a always have my WiFi sleep policy set to "never" and have a strong WiFi signal. But last night I still had the problem, and awoke to find the battery drained to 45 percent instad of its typical 90 percent.

Interestingly, I noticed not only high WiFi battery usage but also high "Cell standby" usage attributable to the well-known Time Without Signal problem -- and this despite my habitual use of the Airplane toggle workaround, which usually works.

Somehow, something caused both WiFi and cell radios to go crazy overnight.

BTW, I run a stock, unrooted Epic.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
So far with SRF v1.1.1, my Wifi is back to normal.

On my work network, I've dropped 4% in 3.5hours with my work email syncing every 15mins. So that's pretty good usage given that sync interval.

I also do not have a printer at home, so the printer bit wouldn't have been a cause for me.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
While the printer thing took care of the biggest problem for me, I still don't get as good of battery life overnight leaving my phone on WiFi rather than 3G. There is still something my computer is doing that wakes my phone up occasionally, but at least I'm not going to bed with a 70% battery then waking up to a dead phone. At least I have it narrowed down to one computer (total of 3 on my network), as when I shut that particular one down battery life for my phone is back to 1% an hour while sleeping. If I had to take a guess at this point, might be something with media sharing as I use that one as my primary location for music/videos to stream via Windows Media Center.
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
How do you know it is your computer? Have you tried just turning it all the way off?

Do you watch the services running on your phone? I routinely stop the DRM service, for example.

Except for the mysterious episodes when I experience this intermittent problem, my overnight battery usage is typically about 1 percent per hour.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I've tested over a few nights with a mostly full battery off the charger and reset the timer on CPU Spy. The nights I shut that computer completely off, I get very little battery drain and the phone is mostly in deep sleep according to CPU spy. When it's on, the phone shows a good chunk of CPU at 800mhz and more battery drain.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smidley:
I am trying to troubleshoot an issue I am having with SD cards on my HTC Evo 4G.

I'm trying to reproduce the issue while monitoring logcat filtering with grep for the following strings: mnt card /dev storage

What should I be grepping for while troubleshooting the SD card?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smidley:
I've just reproduced the issue, but I did not see any error indicating what went wrong.

To reproduce, I installed a couple of apps from Amazon Appstore, moved them to the SD card, and rebooted. During the boot up, I saw the SD card go through all of the phases to get mounted and scanned, but none of the typical permissions messages from SD apps were being displayed indicating that the issue had reoccurred.

Still, I must not be grepping for the right term, because no error messages were displayed. I can try again without the grep, but it will be a lot more difficult to find the information in the loads of unrelated log messages.

Again, any ideas on what I should be grepping (filtering) for in the logcat output?

10 minutes later, and I am still unable to run any apps that are on the SD card, and I am unable to unmount the SD card from the settings menu. I get the following exception when trying to unmount:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smidley:
I think I solved my SD card issue. I decided to just capture the full verbose log and then analyze it in Notepad++. Eventually I found that I should have been filtering for 'Vold' as this appears to be the volume manager daemon.

Here is a log with a filter for 'Vold' after reproducing the problem:

I/Vold ( 59): Vold 2.1 (the revenge) firing up
D/Vold ( 59): Volume sdcard state changing -1 (Initializing) -> 0 (No-Media)
D/Vold ( 59): Volume sdcard state changing 0 (No-Media) -> 2 (Pending)
D/Vold ( 59): Volume sdcard state changing 2 (Pending) -> 1 (Idle-Unmounted)
D/VoldCmdListener( 59): volume list
D/VoldCmdListener( 59): share status ums
D/VoldCmdListener( 59): share status ums
D/VoldCmdListener( 59): volume mount /mnt/sdcard
I/Vold ( 59): /dev/block/vold/179:1 being considered for volume sdcard
D/Vold ( 59): Volume sdcard state changing 1 (Idle-Unmounted) -> 3 (Checking)
W/Vold ( 59): Skipping fs checks
I/Vold ( 59): Device /dev/block/vold/179:1, target /mnt/sdcard mounted @ /mnt/secure/staging
D/Vold ( 59): Volume sdcard state changing 3 (Checking) -> 4 (Mounted)
D/VoldCmdListener( 59): asec list
W/VoldConnector( 108): Bad msg (alRecorder-1)

What should normally come after the "D/VoldCmdListener( 59): asec list" line is a listing of all the asec files for the apps that have been moved to the SD card.

I found that "alRecorder-1" was actually just a truncated name for the Virtual Recorder app. I put the SD card into my computer slot, deleted the ix.com.android.VirtualRecorder-1.asec file from .android_secure, and then the phone would boot up fine with all of the remaining SD card apps available and operational.

I could then reproduce the problem by installing some more apps to the SD card. I checked the log again, and this time it was a different app triggering the "W/VoldConnector( 108): Bad msg (...)" message. Hmmm...

I also noticed that the SD card's filesystem was not being checked ("W/Vold ( 59): Skipping fs checks"). That prompted me to again insert the card into my PC's reader slot, and then I ran a check disk against the volume including a scan and recovery attempt for bad sectors.

Lo' and behold! It found and fixed a problem - even recovering a file - and it seems I am back to normal now! After nearly a week of troubleshooting, it all makes sense that this was caused by a bad sector, as the card would work fine until I hit those bad sectors for a write operation and then FAIL.

I hope this information will help someone else in the future.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Smidley:
I eventually found out that my problem was due to Froyo's 123 app on SD card limit. I just got the Gingerbread update for my Evo last night, and now the issue is gone. Glorious!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] davidw2k4:
Is there any way to get the thunderbolt camera working on the Droid incredible stock Rom
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Isacc565:
no up to this point there is not
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] TokedUp:
I think its because TBolt runs sense 2.0 and we have don't have it yet. Try flashing Incubus sense 2.0 rom, it might be installed with the ROM. I tried getting the TBlot music player ported and it was a no go because of sense 2.0 The Evo cam works well with the Inc just in case ur interested, you can get it in Rom Manager, under Virtuous/extra goodies

Sorry if posted elsewhere.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/19/verizon-finally-killing-unlimited-data-plans-this-summer/

"Verizon's been telegraphing its intent to drop unlimited data plans for nearly a year, and despite the fact that LTE smartphones launched with all-you-can-eat options, those plans haven't changed one bit. Reuters reports that Verizon will finally nix the megabyte buffet this summer, replacing it with a fully tiered data pricing scheme, though CFO Fran Shammo also floated the idea that tiered data could open up an avenue for family data plans. We've never really enjoyed sharing minutes, so we doubt counting our kilobytes will be much fun, but we suppose there's always room for Verizon to pleasantly surprise us with a really low price for mobile web browsing. Right? By the by, Fran also reiterated claims that the next iPhone will be a global device, and said that when it launches on AT&T, it'll hit Verizon stores at the very same time."

[Networking] lude219:
That's probably because it's been in discussion for about a year now. This was known since last year when AT&T start slashing unlimited data. Even at the beginning of the year, Verizon has said that they'll do away with unlimited data by summer and what do you know...it's summer time.

Even then, I figured most people would be reserving their full blown opinions until it actually happened/didn't happen.

Complaining about it on a message board accomplishes nothing.

Leaving Verizon for Sprint, on the other hand, will absolutely get noticed.

Sadly sprint have consider going the tier route as well. the solution is not about playing a game of hot potato by dropping one carrier for another, its about changing the ways we use the internet and make use of the wifi capability of our smartphones.

Can someone give me a hand here.

i have a powermat received which has 2 wires on it a red and a black, and i am trying to find a way to connect theses wires to the 3 side pin connectors on my MyTouch 4G.

anyone have any ideas on how to do this,

Please all help is greatly appreciated
[myTouch 4G Accessories] 808HD2:
Lol that looks like my pic lol.. I wanted to do a powermate for my phone to, but jus a fyi, you wont get a AC quick charge from the pins, it will be a usb charge..

But all you gotta do is what you see in the pic, red pos on the left pin next to volume rocker and neg on the pin next to the usb port.. If you want you can put the neg on the middle pin also, that will activate desk mode :) when you charge ur phone..

Good luck, and show the final product when done..
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rinnycoop121:
yeah i got that i idea, but how would i be able to keep it hidden?

I just went and purchased the PowerMat Door for the Droid X and as you can see in the pics below it has a Micro usb connector on the battery door it self.

Maybe cuttign a custom sized door to fit the MT4G, what do you think?

you see what i amtalking about?

Oh and P.S. it is your pic LOL
[myTouch 4G Accessories] rinnycoop121:
Do you this it can work?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] 808HD2:
Sorry for the late reply havent been on here for awhile!!! Ummm the hardest thing would be to find away to hook it up to the pins.. I know there is already a power extender thing for the mytouch but looks ugly lol.. I would say try to get another batt cover for cheap and see if you can mod that with the power mate..
[myTouch 4G Accessories] warriorprophet:
I prefer to use touchstone kits for modding from the palm pre, I find it charges my device the same speed as the A/C charger when I hook it up by soldering from its leads to the usb port on the device. It may require a nearly complete tear down of the device, but that gives you all the protection of the charging circuits and the fully charged message on android etc so your device will stop charging, if you hook it up using the 3pins on the battery connector then you are bypassing the charging circuits, possibly with disasterous effect, but certainly with no way to stop charging other than removing it from the charging mat.

Hope that makes sense...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] slydog43:
I have many touchstones from the palm pre (my old phone). This is a great way to do the mod, wondering if you have any pics of internals after a mod (any phone)
