Yeah, something doesnt seem right. The numbers are high but it doesn't seems to drain the battery too fast. I guess for now we can use this for relative numbers.

I remember when I had the g2x, standby was either 2mA or 5mA.
[HTC Sensation] ilovepiaggio:
Same with me, over 200ma - so high. My hd2 only 2-5ma

That why so hot and battery drain

Hope we have custom kernel soon
[HTC Sensation] hoops129:
I don't have any problem with battery drain or hot battery even though I'm seeing those high numbers from the widget. So I'm not convinced the numbers are correct.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Same here.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Have never understood why you guys are interested in the mA levels.. if its working ok why to dig in more :P LOL

I am using the Battery solo widget pro.. ofcourse no mA.. simple circular batt with digits in the center (%)

Because when you flash roms, you get different battery consumption, which is a main reason for many people what ROM to choose. So just call it a habit. :)
[HTC Sensation] vascocn81pa:
Hi, I upped this thread beacuse of I am new on Sensation (coming from DHD).

I tryed "CurrentWidget" and "Battery Monitor Widget" in combo with "Battery Calibration" for wiping battery stats.

I can see that all goes crazy! My battery go up and down on your own, sometimes It is at a percentage for hours then after rebooting for example go from 100% to 70%. The reading is crazy also, I have -200 in standby! :eek: and -800 in normal usage, if I select in setting "Sensation", if I select "Automatic" the values coming close to DHD with f.e. -24 in standby and -300 or -400 in normal usage.

I can see in every ROM thread many people had issue with this.

I read all this thered and I cant see a solution.

What to do?
[HTC Sensation] :
Have a look here:

http://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/135

Seems the weird values are caused by Sensation/Evo 3D.
[HTC Sensation] vascocn81pa:
yes i figured this, and i've thanked you for this. but my trouble is a little bigger, because of (with or without battery monitor) i have battery % really crazy. Every time I reboot my battery recharge on his own! If I shutdown the phone at 20% when I switch on I have 60% ! It is really crazy. I have usually 100% for two or three hours then in ten minutes i go for 80%. :eek::eek::eek:

I have been searching for an app for the last 3 days but couldn't find anything that fits:

Requirement:

*simple app for uploading and downloading (any, not only "office" files) to Google Docs, basically something like the Dropbox client but only for Google

* optional automatic sync over wifi

Am I really looking for something that does not (yet) exist?

Someone told me that an app with such functionality is unwanted by Google?!

Hi,

I am trying to Access via ADB in Recovery Mode. But I am not able to. Is this limitation of the device ? None of the devices is detected when tried to adb.

Thanks.

[GT540 Optimus General] davc:
i got only 20mb free place at mobile (internal)

but i dont get nothing instaled

I do not know what takes so much space

got all apps on sd card whit Link2SD

how can see all files on my mobile

whit ASTRO program ce see only files on my sd card
[GT540 Optimus General] marlboroazrag:
link2sd doesnt fully switch to sd use app2sd instead

Edit:

use root explorer to see system files
[GT540 Optimus General] davc:
what you mean how

use root explorer to see system files
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
he meant to use Root Explorer app instead ASTRO, it is better and you will be able to access to everything plus change permissions , edit system files and so and so.

Now in my opinion app2sd and link2sd have something is common and that is that both of them keep a part of each app you send to sdcard, the only different i see between both to my like is that with link2sd you can use widgets while with app2sd once you send apps to sdcard you will not be able to use their widgets.

BUT that is for me old stuffs as now a brand new solution has been released and im talking about data2system method.

Check development threads there are 2 method:

The first one created by Anton_ch and posted by me here in XDA

The second one created by Mu4ik and posted by fishears

Read about each one so you decide for one and try it, that is my suggestion.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
I haven't received my SGS2 yet, but I saw some reports saying, that the galaxy s II can handle external drives if formatted to FAT32.

However, it doesn't recognize EXT2/3/4 and NTFS.

The question is what modifications are to be done (kernel drivers, etc) for mounting an EXT or NTFS drive? The kernel supposed to be capable to handle EXT, because the system sits on an EXT4 partition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludow:
+1

Good question, since FAT32 has it's size limits for files (big video file).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
Exactly, this is one important motive. Another is the capability to manipulate files on an external hard drive.

I know, ntfs is tricky, but ext would do the job as well, just need a linux live CD or a driver for win7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
According to the Modaco forum (http://android.modaco.com/content/s...316579/format-type-for-external-microsd-ntfs/ )

it is possible to format a memory card with Busybox to ext2.

In the i9000 forum, one reportedly tried it with SGS but ran into issues.. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799054)

I don't know if it works on the galaxy s II...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
Linux can handle ntfs quite nicel ever since the ntfs-3g driver was released in 2006; I don't know how to get it working in android though, does android have udev rules?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
Indeed Android is a linux variant, however the ntfs support is not built in, the kernel is chopped quite a bit. I would be fine with ext2/3/4, but these have to be hacked as well:(

BTW, does anyone know if Busybox is working on SGS-2?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
Ntfs-3g is a userspace driver it is not included in the kernel, it needs fuse however.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorko122:
So NTFS won't work without a new (bigger...) kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciddy:
NTFS would be nicest, as it plays well with both Win and Linux.

Formatting a memory card to ext is easy from any Linux box, however ext was not designed to be used on memory cards (something about cluster sizes and write access frequencies; a buddy of mine strongly advised against it as it would kill my SD card much faster because of significantly higher random writes using ext).

Also, afaik there is no (usable) ext driver for Windows. I installed a ext2 driver a long time ago, and it made my system almost unusable and was unable to read the ext filesystem I wanted it to read.

Likely the easier way is to get ntfs-3g support running, but we'll see.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
I would be fine with ext2 and use a liveCD when moving data. compiling ntfs-3g is probably not healthy for the android kernel...

EXT3-4 are not that good for flash, because they involve much more writing (jurnal, etc) than ext2/fat/ntfs. Therefore ext2 seems to be the only reasonable solution for memory cards/SSD-s or ext3/4 for external HDD.

The question is how to make an ext2 formatted external HDD work with SGS-2? (OTG cable and powered usb hub given)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0rtiis:
Check this out: http://www.ext2fsd.com/.

Works flawlessly on my Windows 7 Professional x64.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
Now we only have to convince the Android sitting on SGS-2 to eat the EXT2 media:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
Which powered usb hub?

Does anyone know about restrictions on which powered USB hubs can be used?

I am planning to buy a powered USB 3.0 hub (backwards compatible), should it work with SGS-2's OTG?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
I don't see, that It's capable to CREATE or format EXT2 partitions, so that linux live CD is still needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0rtiis:
It isn't, that wasn't what I said. It was really off topic, but it works well if you want to read ext2 on Windows.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaBlo:
This can also be done using fdisk if you have Busybox with either ADB or a terminal emulator right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0rtiis:
Indeed, you can use mke2fs on phone directly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
I tried ext2, created with gparted/ubuntu->the phone (stock ROM, no root, no busybox) does not recognize it. Next step is rooting+busybox...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0rtiis:
Did you actually create the file system or did you just create a partition?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamas970:
I created the file system as well (linux had no problems reading/writing) and there were no other partitions on the card.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curioct:
I have compiled NTFS read write modules for my S2 which insert ok.

Not had time to test them myself (i used them simply to see if my tool chains and kernel source were correct for another project i am still working on)

I offer no guarantees but can tell you the insert just fine so I can see no reason why they should not be able to mount just fine with the correct mount command (i use connectbot from the market)

I have attached it to this post let me know if you have any joy with it

for the technical amongst you it was compiled against the latest samsung source files for kernel 2.6.35.7

obviously I offer no guarantees but I can see no reason it shouldnt work or any that it could do any harm

simply

su

insmod /pathtofile/ntfs.ko

make your mount directory and mount

something like :-

mkdir /sdcard/ntfspart

mount /dev/hda1 /sdcard/ntfspart -t ntfs -r

obviously might be sda sdb etc depending on device type used this will give you read only access if that works i'll take a looks at compiling a fuse version for you that works with the phone for read / write

I'd certainly be interested to know if they work for you

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3AstLyBLitZ:
1) are you on the right baseband

2) have you done a full wipe through xrecovery -cache,dalvik,battery stats

3) have you installed busybox

4) have you even got xrecovery

[XPERIA X8 General] ParadoxGuy:
Hello!

I have been searching the forums here about custom roms, and so far, I saw two methods of how to install them.

Method1. update.zip

Method2. Backup/Restore or just advanced restore.

(both in xRecovery)

What's the difference?

If the developer of the rom stated do Method1, can we still do Method2?

Will it affect anything?

Thanks. :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Fetz Braun:
You cannot do the other method, it´s not possible, because they are completely different .

Method 2"restore" is like you make a backup trougth xrecovery and restore it. You can do a complete restore (recommended) or only system (your data will be not deleted, but in most cases you will have some problems)

Method 1 update.zip is a kind of script.
[XPERIA X8 General] ParadoxGuy:
Thanks for that! :)

So you mean, Method1 is like, if you want to upgrade your rom?

Will doing Method1 erase all data?
[XPERIA X8 General] Graveir:
It depends on a script. There is a file called update-script in every update and custom zip, you can view it in notepad++. If it contains FORMAT command it will wipe any partition that is named after the command. Most ROMs update zips only wipe system, which is a necessity, since you need to put new system in. Some ROMs, like doixanh's one, also wipe cache to get rid of old ROM's stuff. If there is a format data instruction, all your data and apps are gone.

If I am forced to still see the stock one, I'll just continue to use it...

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] BLKOUT!:
I know you used to be able to make a different dialer the default, but after 2.1 I'm fairly sure you have to remove the stock one completely if you want to replace it. Don't know how to do that though, will have to look around.

I am interested in this too. I installed some custom dialers and some of them are very nice, but I don't like going back to stock dialer after finishing call...

I guess, you can remove stock dialer with Titanium backup (requires root), but I am not sure if you can do that. I guess, you should not remove it.
