If this has Tun built in then why do I get "Error: no access to TUN device!" in VPNC Widget?

Edit: I also get "root access missing" so that may explain it.

Edit 2: Looks like there are similar issues here. http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1075631.html

How's the battery life?
[Vibrant General] draikz:
So I was running Bionix 1.3.1 and by the end of everyday, I have like ATLAEST 50% battery left.

And now that I've switched over to Trigger, it's only been 8 hrs and my batter is at like 59.

I mean it isn't that bad, but it doesn't compare at all to Bionix.

Yes, I've use the BatteryCalibration app on Trigger.
[Vibrant General] deadpass:
What modem are you using? Bionix 1.3.1 was KA7 I think while trigger is KB5. Those are fairly different modems with KB5 known for good data speed at the expense of battery life. Flash KA7 or whatever modem Bionix was using and see if it helps. Could also consider another kernel.
[Vibrant General] sroach23:
did you give it a couple of days?
[Vibrant General] cannonbomb:
The simple answer is that trigger is a amazingly awesome experience. You find yourself unable to put your phone down resulting in faster battery drain. I had the same problem.

Samsung Vibrant

Trigger 2.9.3
[Vibrant General] kwes1020:
I can run the same bionix v 1.3.1 gaming all day and get 24hrs +. What modems/kernels are you using. And how can you know anything about a rom without giving it a week or so?

Sent from my badass t959 2543 quadrant, 20.193 linpack using bionix v 1.3.2 + bullet 1.42oc
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Of all the roms I ever used Axura hands down was best battery life and best GPS

You must be lucky on Bionix I never god very good battery life out of it

Trigger Is pretty good I get 14 hrs with mod to heavy use and still above 50%

You may have you phone set up in a way that is causing some drain. Look at the Gallery, that often is a culprit.

If you do not like battery drain then I would advise you to stay away from 2.3 roms they use more battery for sure.....
[Vibrant General] pdxmatts:
Try the Bali 1.8.4 Kernel. It really helped my battery life. I use the KB1 Modem because that is what the developer of Bali was using. Not sure if I should be using KB5 or not, but it seems to work well with Trigger 3.2 Final. Smooth, fast with good battery life.

Edit: Thanks to the link on the OP, I'm going to try KB5 modem and see if there is a difference.
[Vibrant General] pdxmatts:
I was using this same Rom and Kernel and only got 1600 for a quadrant score and never got 24hrs of use out of it. It was more like 6 to 7 hours. Can you elaborate more on how you got such good battery life and scores? I had SetCpu running the OC and used TB to freeze unnecessary bloat, but still no love.
[Vibrant General] Sdobron:
He was not gaming all day...guaranteed.

Display time is what it's about, which many people fail to mention.

The most display time you'll get on average is probably anywhere from 3.5 to 5 hours max on a basic 1500 mah battery. He probably got 24 hours with 3 to 4 hours display use. I assume with 6 to 7 hours of battery life, 4-5 of those are display?
[Vibrant General] reddragon72:
Im running trigger 3.02 or something like that with the overstick 154 and wifi calling installed and running from8 to 5 and I get 3.4 to 4 % battery drain per hour. I feel that is really good with wifi calling. If I freeze wifi calling I drop to 2-3% per hour hour. I have my setup phone setup to sync all the time and 1min display time out. I normally get about a full day(24 hours) with wifi calling calling 8 hours with 1 hour or so of calls on both wifi and network and 30-40 txt meshours and 1-2 hours of gaming. Oh and the display is set to minimum. I felt those are pretty good numbers. But my fiancees nexus one on 2.3.4 gets 4 hours of non stop gaming and still has 20% battery left.

Just wondering if anyone else has the burn in problem.. like for instance if I surf on my phone for a bit whatever was on the screen is still there lightly in the background til I turn of the screen for a few minutes.. maybe a refresh problem? Etc
[Droid Incredible General] spiritcrusher33:
Look at the top right corner u can see my burn in battery lol
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
I'm not seeing it, but it shouldn't show on a screenshot anyway?

As far as I know this just happens with the slcd (mine is AMOLED) so maybe some slcd owners could weigh in.
[Droid Incredible General] tcberg2010:
Never heard of a burn in effect on LCD screens. Never personally seen it on my screen...plasma yes..but not slcd
[Droid Incredible General] N-Forced:
Usually it's the exact opposite.

@ OP: I had a slight burn in problem awhile back but it was caused by hex defense wanting to be played at max brightness for an extended amount of time. The problem fixed itself by me turning the screen off for a couple of minutes. Now when hex defense asks to bump up the screen brightness I say hell no.
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
A quick Googling does show that OLED displays are perhaps more susceptible than LCD, I had it mixed up. Either way, I haven't personally ran into it on my AMOLED, sorry for the mistake!
[Droid Incredible General] pianoplayer:
I get it a crapload on my SLCD. Just gotta learn to live with it :/
[Droid Incredible General] donnyp1:
Lcd can burn in. In your instance, you would have had to left that screen on for a long time. Ive had a phillips plasma for 4 years with no burn in, it just seems wierd.
[Droid Incredible General] pianoplayer:
Well, actually I just noticed something. I get rapid, severe burn in on CM7, where I would get burn in after 5 - 10 minutes, but on Sense roms, I've never encountered burn in. Maybe it's something to do with the AOSP driver?
[Droid Incredible General] spiritcrusher33:
thats what i was wondering before.. cept the other way around. I was getting the burn in effect awhile back running senseless revo.. switched to cm7 to see but still get the burn in.. mostly on white or bright backgrounds.. mostly stick to dark themes. oh well.. gonna use this dinc til it dies.. then swap out to my new spare dinc..
[Droid Incredible General] EFoxwell:
I only use sense ROMs, and my brightness is typically very high, and i have never encountered any burn in. Can't speak for AOSP since I've never used them for more then an hour at a time. Just not my thing. lol

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rld187:
I searched a little for this but couldn't quite find an answer. I have a Galaxy Tab SCH-1800 on Verizon Wireless. I was trying to us z4 1.3 to root it. I hit permanent root and it runs for awhile and then it exits Z4 Root. It never goes back to the program either. I have to go to the z4 icon and open it from there. When I tap the icon, I get a blank screen and then a force close. How do you recommend I root my Galaxy? I was hoping to use z4. That's what I used to root my Droid X. Thanks for your time.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julian.kueh:
DO you know if it's actually rooted? Try downloading a root-required app. Maybe it is already rooted.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pendevous:
Use the superoneclick app. You can download it here in the forum somewhere.

To know if it's rooted. Download the root check app from the market, and then run it.

I don't know if XDA has any policy about linking to other forums, but I used this guide to root my Verizon Tab. I have had no problems whatsoever since I did this. It shows you how to restore to a rooted stock firmware, and update to an modified kernel for the latest version of the stock rom.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyallo:
How do I get Root (read/write) Access in Recovery Mode (Vol Up, Home, Power) with ADB ? I'm running SGS II rooted using Chainfire 's insecure kernel on XWKE7.

I can only access Superuser via ADB Shell when phone is booted.

If this has been discussed before, please direct me to where.

The point to this would be to be able to push/pull stuff to system on a device that won't boot cause I messed with the framework or something else.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
There is no adb in stock recovery I'm afraid
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyallo:
Wow, thank you! I suspected this, but you have no idea how much grief this has caused me.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I had this issue yesterday.

Flash Chainfire's rooted kernel. It has persistent ADB. I know you said you tried this, but it worked for me...

Failing that, wipe /data from stock recovery, ODIN a stock ROM, and then let it boot...

I'll need to find a better way to do this for future :) I had a bad bootloop that a stock ODIN wouldn't fix, until I remembered ODIN doesn't wipe /data :D

Please help. Can I UNinstall from recovery boot. Mistakenly put "setcpu" to "start on boot" now stuck in boot loop. Its an EVO rooted with un revoked and 4.3.4 nanarchy kernal.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
You can flash the rom over itself - wipe cache and dalvik, don't wipe data - and this may help. Otherwise you'll need to use ADB to remove the app or wipe data and reflash the rom.

Don't set on boot until you know your phone is fine with the clock settings. What were your settings, just out of curiosity?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joeyklatzko:
I was browsing reddit and somebody claims that they received a "Xoom" Music invite on their Nook Color since they were running Honeycomb and their build.prop was spoofed as a Xoom.

I was wondering:

Has anybody else received an invite under these conditions?

Could it just be a coincidence?

Would spoofing a Xoom build.prop work on a non-Honeycomb device?

I'm assuming you may have to browse/download from the market in order for Google to find you're using a "Xoom" being as that's how they collect info for their firmware distribution charts.

I am going to try this on my MyTouch 4G and my Acer Iconia. At the time of writing I have yet to recieve an invite.

Thoughts?

The "rooting" part was just in case anybody asked :)

Yes, I installed Skype, but the anomaly started quite a bit after. No tweaks, couple of programs that shouldn't affect anything. The thing is that it does pretty often for two hours and then stops :confused:

[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
Ok so today I mow my yard and I plug in my Thunderbolt in to the USB charger on my PC when I come inside my phone is bootlooping. So I think ok whatever I will flash one of the many backup's I made.

So I pull the battery and boot into the bootloader, then when I go into recovery after about 2 seconds the phone powers off and starts bootlooping again??? Ok that's a first for me and I have been flashing and rooting since launch day of the OG Droid, (ok, ok not since the first day but like a month later). So I pull the battery again this time for 30 minutes because I read someone else had something like this happen yesterday. When I put the battery back in same thing! Now I pull the battery for 4 hours...same outcome.

Now I'm thinking RUU time so I grab the stock RUU pull the SD card from my Thunderbolt pop it in my Incredible load the RUU renamed to PG05IMG.zip and put it back in the Thunderbolt. Load the bootloader and flash the RUU. Reboot after it's done and would you believe it...the same thing! the phone won't load past the splash screen before rebooting.

I forgot to mention before trying all this I tried using adb to reboot into recovery and I kept getting "error: device not found" and I know how to use adb.

It's only been about 9 hours since I've been able to use my 2.3.4 GingerBread with parts of 3.0 Sense Thunderbolt and I already having withdrawals how am I going to make the next 2 to 3 weeks while it's being repaired???

Ok end rant...

You may get away with getting it swapped through warranty. But I can't promise you it won't come back at you. Someone may have a solution for you though. Wouldn't give up yet. Sorry I don't.

Well then relate your problem with his. Just saying "your losing faith in Thunderbolt" tells me nothing. Don't mean to sound like an a$$, just saying. When I read your first comment I got nothing from it.

That being said...I haven't been a Bolt owner for long, but it does seem like a strange issue. You would think flashing a radio or backup would resolve the issue. But hasn't.

Definitely sounds like a Warranty Issue. I'd try to get it exchanged if no one can come up for a solution to the problem.
[Thunderbolt General] gospeed.racer:
I had a G1 back in the day that had some odd problem and I was rooted, Tmo looked at it and wouldn't touch it. So, I called HTC. I told them that I purchased the phone off Craigslist so Tmo couldn't help me, and asked how the warranty works on their end. They said that since the production of the phone started less than a year ago, they knew it was still eligible for warranty even without a receipt. There would be a triage fee if it was found to be a non-warranty issue, and it was something like $40 including the shipping back. I acted dumb when they asked if it was rooted...asked them what that meant? LOL. Sent it in, they fixed it and sent it back to me, no charge. Fast too. I was very happy and that is why I have stuck with HTC since then. It may or may not work for you, but it was painless for me.

[Thunderbolt General] AndroidGraphix:
Wow. I thought for sure hbooting the unsigned stock RUU would fix this. How about hbooting a signed ruu? It wouldn't hurt at this point.

Also make sure when you renamed the pgimg05. Zip that there was nothing at the end of the extention. I've heard some people say that windows has been known not to show that full file extension correctly.
[Thunderbolt General] bp328i:
I thought hbooting the stock RUU would fix it as well, and yep it was named correctly. It's funny because it would stay on the hboot screen as long as I let it with no issue what so ever but within 2 seconds of going into recovery it would reboot.

I went back to Best Buy today as that is where I bought it to see how much they would charge to ship it out to be fixed. The mobile manager remembered me because I was 1st on the pre-order list. (I'm sure we all remember the train wreck the Best Buy pre-orders became) So any way he really went out of his way to help me. He said he has had 3 other Thunderbolts brought in for the same issue. He was able to send my phone in under their Black Tie program.

I told him I rooted the phone and was willing to pay for the repairs but he said he was pretty sure that the other 3 phones were not rooted. He said that he knew FOR SURE that at least one of the phones was not rooted because the lady that owned it did not have any branches in her family tree:eek:, (his words not mine). Since he has seen it 3 times he was not charging me. He only asked that I had the stock hboot on the phone. I had already flashed that in my attempt to get it running.
[Thunderbolt General] TheAdmira1:
I'm with cstrife, I managed to destroy my tab with a mix of flashing and charging via outlets in India. It bootlooped for a while then just kind of gave up and began to display a strange download screen when I plugged it in to charge. I brought it to VZW and played stupid, I told them I woke up and it had this weird screen... I had a brand new one at my door the next morning and haven't heard a word from them... It probably just costs more to check it out deep enough to find out its rooted than it does to just give you a refurbished one, gut swap yours, and then send to someone else as a refurbished one...
