Hey guys,

we've been screwed !!! The xperia play have a gingerbread non modified version !!!

Look at 4:00 (he speaks too much) android central

Why can't we have this version ?? I hate the text message app all blue and white
[Xperia Arc General] TheArcane:
That's the Verizon version only IMO
[Xperia Arc General] ajftl:
I kinda like the look and features of arc messenger ...the stock gb messenger its OK ..at least better than sense 2.1(sense 3.0 kick ass) the way you receives pictures here on arc its pretty cool. Big preview and u can add a comment to your pic without have to do a slide show or ur comment shows on a different page. So arc messenger remind me of wp7 messenger kinda.
[HD2 General] pmbellis:
I've picked up a strange issue in the last few days ... but I'm not sure it's a hardware/software/firmware problem.

Symptoms:

A. Pull battery & restart ... everything works fine no matter how long I use the phone AS LONG as I don't allow the screen to blank (lock is disabled).

B. If Screen blanks, push power button & it lights up again ... now the phone won't detect ANY touches on the screen, the HW buttons are fine, any programmes running that display, etc are still running fine, clock updates, music/video plays ... just no touch is detected.

History:

1.) All was fine, HSPL: 2.08, Radio: 2.15.50.14, WM: EnergyROM, Android: Cope'nWarren SD AmeriCanAndroid

2.) Decided I wanted to play with NAND Android

a.) Had to install MAGLDR for that ... worked fine

b.) Installed HyperDroid-GBX-v12-signed ... problem cropped up the 1st time the screen was locked, played with various settings, no joy.

3.) conclusion ... problem with that ROM, no problem, reflash Energy ROM

4.) reflash Energy ROM ... problem still exists ... uh-oh

5.) Task 29 ... successful

6.) Flashed stock shipped ROM (RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE-AFK_1.66.421.1_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship) which I got directly from HTC here in South Africa ... problem still exists. BIG UH-OH

So obviously the problem is ROM, Radio & Bootloader independant (because the shipped ROM replaces all of that) ... which seems to indicate a Hardware issue.

The reasons I am wondering if it is NOT a hardware issue are twofold:

1.) The problem appeared so abruptly, after flashing MAGLDR & HyperDroid

2.) The problem ONLY exists after a screen-blank and not between powering on & a screen-blank.

Anyone with any ideas I can try, or advice?

Regards,

Peter

I have the same exact problem, while im in the OS i can use it for a long time, but when I hit the unlock screen I cant do anything! it makes no sense!
[HD2 General] Dr.Move:
It is known for a while that something happens to the screen of certain devices after using NAND android. since I'm not using it I'm fine. You should search a bit before you do anything new.

I've seen plenty of milar threads before, try these keywords:

Digitizer touchscreen Unresponsive NAND Android etc.

I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for, not sure if anyone found a solution to that though.
[HD2 General] pmbellis:
Tx

Thanks ... suddenly a lot of old "screen locked" threads are "alive" & at the top of the forum! :D

You pointed me in the right direction ... now at least I can use my phone! :)

To anyone else who reads this ... use your OTHER hardware buttons to wake up the phone ... the END (rightmost) one is getting "worn" ... will eventually need replacing, but now it can be later ... hopefully MUCH later.

Seems MAGLDR isn't the cause, but because you use it (END button) so much when using MAGLDR, that's when the problem becomes evident ...
[HD2 General] pmbellis:
... Sadly ...

Sadly I have to let you know that it didn't taks so long for the problem to spread to all my hard keys!

I sent it in for repairs & was informed that they CANNOT only replace the "digitizer", but have to replace the entire screen (R2200-00 [South African Rands = ~ $300-00]).

I decided to rather get myself a Desire HD & am very happy with it.

My wife asked me to repair the phone anyway, so she could inherit it ... she's used if for a week now & the problem has reappeared ... On a brand new screen!!!! :mad: Am taking it back in.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kenren:
Hi ,

my p3300 is 4 years old, black-x rom , the battery is the original.

two days ago the p3300 starts to freeze, the screen become purple dark(almost blak) then i try to reset or to remove the battery, but almost every boot (or desktop screen) end with the same result.

i have tried to use the charger and seems to be more stable , but when i used an high intensive app like tomtom then after 5 minutes,black screen again.

the last night the battery has been under charge, and now the tomtom is running from 1 hour, always connected with the charger.

what do you think about that, where is the problem, battery? motherboard?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
definatly the battery dude, just simply buy a new one, but when you get it:

leave device off

charge it untill fully charged. (green led when full)

enjoy

Rn
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kenren:
bad news , i have the brand new battery, but the screen fade out in the same way, at time we speak, the p3300 don't want to go on.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
hi dude,

it really sounds like the battery is loosing its charge. (and only staying alive when on charge)

did you charge the new battery full while off before turning it on?

(sometimes a problem if you dont charge it while off!)

it might be also a good idea to open your device and clean all your contacts/connections on the motherboard (with cotton ear buds), it could be that your ribbon connecting your motherboard to the lcd is loose or has a dirty connection.

to open the device, unscrew the screws near the battery, 4 screws i think, now the back cover of the device unclips, i think there is 4 more screws that attatch the motherboard to the front cover, after that, unclip the ribbons connecting the motherboard with the lcd = lift the small black lever that clamps the ribbon into place but be very carefull with the ribbons, these break very easily! - trust me ;)

Rn

edit: what color is the led on the top of the device when on charge - while device is off?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kenren:
i will try to open the dear old arthemis.

the new battery seems to be full charged , when the p3300 is the today screen the icon say 100%, when is shut down mode the led is green, so i think is full.

i really hope to "repair" my p3300, is an old friends of a 1000 battles :D
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
yeah, thats how i see my artemis, i broke the miniusb and broke the ribbon too but im glad i got my blackstone ;) (artemis is in bits lol)

(thats why i said be carefull with the ribbon, the slightest damage to the ribbon and its knackered)

fyi, if your thinking it was a waste of money buying a new battery, it wasnt, its the most common problem with the symptoms you mentioned

Rn
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kenren:
you say right, 11€ of battery wasn't a waste of money, but after my "tecnical" intervention i think the probability to repair the artemis is around the 2% :( , I have broken all the one which was possible to break and some unlucky things.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] raving_nanza:
:eek: % that low?? lol

if you want me to have a look at it for you, i will, for free but at the price of trust.

private message me if you me to look at it for you dude, if you do not then that is no problem - i understand.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] kenren:
thanks a lot, but i have a friend of mine whit a repair laboratory near my house, i need only my feet to reach him, anyway i will remember your offer in case my friend fail.

[Desire General] c_man:
Hi all,

My partner has been experiencing a few issues with her 'stock' Orange branded Desire, not only being affected by calls dropping and Data being unreliable [sometimes works, sometimes doesn't], but also pretty poor battery life.

On that note, we think it may be a good idea to root her Desire and apply a custom ROM. Are there any ROMs out there which specifically target battery optimization?

I am assuming a new ROM/radio will help resolve her call/data issues, so battery is the next priority to look at.

I'm thinking CM7.0.3 is the safe bet [moreso because that's what I'm running on my Legend :D] but is there a ROM out there in the Desire community known for great battery performance?

On a side note, if you can also recommend the best radio to flash [unless it's part of a ROM already] that would be cool.

Thanks in advance,

c_man
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
At first reducing the brigthness-level, turning off 3g/hsdpa, gps and wifi (sleep policy to "never" [settings > wireless & networks > wifi settings > press menu > advanced and set wifi sleep policy to Never; press menu and save) and only turning them on when needed will improve battery life.

A rom with a good battery life is redux:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896213

I have installed it myself with the kernel in my sig. Especially the standby-battery-power is really impressive. IMHO all small aosp-roms like e.g. cm7, devnull, oxygen or redux will have good battery life. Furthermore, i good kernel with appropriate settings becomes important.

But final one can say, the battery life is most related how much you use your phone.

Hope, this could help you.
[Desire General] JokerNJ:
If your wife is used to the Desire as it is (inc. HTC Sense) then I would highly recommend LeeDroid.

Its well indexed and offers good battery life. The fact that it's based on Gingerbread (2.3.3) is a big help for battery. As far as I know Orange Desire is still on Froyo?

The big benefit with LeeDroid is that if your wife isn't as keen on trying to learn to use stock and likes HTC Sense, she will not notice any difference. It would be worth putting an ext partition on the SD card as well so she wont run out of room for apps.
[Desire General] alexander7567:
I have installed 7.0.3 and my battery life drains super quick. All i have enabled is mobile network. So if you ask me.. .I would say CM 7.0.3 is not a very good batt saver.
[Desire General] naf007:
Im using Redux at the mo

3ma drain on standby with GPS and BT enabled

ManU Havs Axi kernel undervolted with Vipermod

I found GV to be very good on battery drain too...
[Desire General] naf007:
In all fairness you wont believe the difference in battery life between stock and a custom rom imho
[Desire General] c_man:
Thanks for the replies so far.

@MatDrOiD - thanks, currently its between CM and Redux.

@JokerNJ - She doesn't mind having to use 'pure' Andoird, she's used my Legend on CM7.0.3 and know's its not massively different. We'll take a look at LeeDroid...

@alexander7567 - this is not what we wanted to hear. CM7.0.3 has done wonders for my Legend...

Positively or negatively!?
[Desire General] c_man:
@MatDrOiD - you mention that you run Redux with Kernel: 2.6.35.9-Redux-SVS_BFS + ULV-Script.

Is there a recommended kernel for Leedroid and also for CM7.0.3?

This is slightly offtopic but can you supply a link on how to install/flash a kernel? I've not done this before [for my Legend].

Also what radio should I go for her Desire?

EDIT:

Doesn't matter if the radio and kernel you suggest are not the latest/greatest/cutting edge, but as long as they are stable and known for good performance, that is good enough!
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Mobile network is one of THE battery killers at all. Turn it off and just turn it on, when you really need it.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
I do not know a recommended kernel extra for leedroid. For CM7 (or aosp-roms in general) the manu-kernel is very good:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883598

Furthermore the couttstech-kernels are very good (they can be used for sense-roms as well:

http://mirror.couttstech.com/android/index.php?dir=bravo/kernel/

But i would say, search for the corresponding threads of this roms, i think you will find a good kernel. ;)

Flashing a kernel is very easy:

1.) Download the kernel you want to flash as zip and copy the file without extracting on your sd-card

2.) Go into recovery

3.) Do a nandroid-backup, just in case. ;)

4.) Wipe cash + dalvik-cache

5.) Flash zip rom sd-card like you would flash a rom

6.) Reboot

You are done. :)

I would recommend to use this radio, which is the mentionend recommended radio in the corresponding thread for the rom. E.g. for leedroid it's 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08. If there isn't mentioned any recommend radio, just use the radio which comes with the rom. Nevertheless, you are free to update to the respectively newest one:

http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/03/htc-desire-radios/

You flash a radio like you flash a rom or kernel. But when you do this, DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE UNTIL IT'S FINISHED. With flashing the radio you update your desire's hardware. If there somehting goes wrong, your desire will be bricked probably. So before flashing the radio, check the md5-sum of the downloaded zip.
[Desire General] c_man:
Thanks! I didn't know the method to flash a kernel was the same :) I've done radio before for my Legend so that's all good.

Now all that is left is for my partner to choose a ROM and away we go...!
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Thanks, happy i could help. :) But after your last post i edited the procedure for flashing a kernel and named another recommend kernel. Take a look at it. ;)
[Desire General] c_man:
Just to be clear, which one? :confused:

This one? ManU-Version 1.4 :Gingerbread-HAVS-AXI-CFS

Thanks, I saw the link to couttstech-kernels however it's slightly difficult to make an informed decision/choice as to which one to go for!
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
You are free to choose. But this is the recommmended and most used one (also by developer).
[Desire General] c_man:
Danke schön...!

Fingers crossed for the root [will use unrEVOked 3 - this shouldn't be a problem even though her Desire is Orange branded as I understand it - someone please correct me if I'm wrong]

You Desire guys are lucky to have so many ROMs/Kernals to choose from.

For us Legend guys the choice is almost made for us :p [and I sold my Desire to own a Legend :D].
[Desire General] FlareHeart:
Another vote for LeeDroid here for the Desire. I have been using LeeDroid since I got mine and have never had a problem with my battery life at all. I can go for two days at normal usage without a charge. Even with heavy use I can go a whole day. I charge mine each night in a dock on my bedside.
[Desire General] c_man:
Thanks FlareHeart, is that running the radio/kernal that arrive with LeeDroid too? No other mods?

Now it's up to her to decide if she wants a ASOP ROM or one based on Sense :).

Hopefully we'll root tomorrow...
[Desire General] Harrysoon:
I used Amethyst a bit before the dev jumped ship to Nexus S. It used Coutt's kernel for it and the longest I got out of a full charge was 2 days. And that was general usage (few texts/phone calls a day, push email, Facebook/web browsing).

Using Oxygen now and I frequently get over a day and a half on general usage with thalamus's kernel.
[Desire General] anandpo:
best Rom for desire

I have used devnull then gingervillain, all vanilla roms. but without sense there is no sense!!. thus I went for insertcoin 1.0.5. which is stable, very nice. u need ext4 partition. 500 mb ok. use minitool partition wizard for Windows. everything is working fine.
[Desire General] puredesire:
What Leedroid version?
[Desire General] tbaxter08700:
So far mui Rom has been great for battery life.
[Desire General] c_man:
Thanks for the input everyone. She is now successfully running CM7.0.3.

We'll see how well battery performs over the next week or so.
[Desire General] El Scorpio:
I'm still searching for a ROM with good battery life myself..thing is, it seems the device itself doesn't offer mindblowing battery life anyhow, but the battery shouldn't be dead with after 12-14 hours with 1-2 hours screen on :/
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Reducing the brigthness-level, turning off 3g/hsdpa, gps and wifi (sleep policy to "never" [settings > wireless & networks > wifi settings > press menu > advanced and set wifi sleep policy to Never; press menu and save) and only turning them on when needed will help you. ;) If not done yet, calibrating your battery can also improve the battery life:

[Desire General] JokerNJ:
Gingerbread offers serious battery improvements over 2.1 and 2.2, especially when the screen is off. Realistically 2-3% per hour battery drop when in idling in standby.

LeeDroid, Oxygen, Redux, CM7 are your friend.
[Desire General] FlareHeart:
I am using the stock kernel, but I have updated the radio to the newest one (radios aren't part of the ROM). The radio version I'm using is the one that begins with 32.56. I just updated to LeeDroid 3.0.7 this weekend, and would recommend it, but read the instructions thoroughly since it can be a little wonky for a first time upgrade to Gingerbread.

I've used almost all of his. I was running on 2.3 and 2.4 for the longest times, but I just flashed up to 3.0.7 over the weekend and it seems great as well. Stock kernel, radio 32.56.
[Desire General] FlareHeart:
REMOVED: unnecessary second post.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
I think "i have the radio which begins with 32.56" will help nobody. Imho you should post your complete radio version here, if you have the intention to help with it. How to find it out:

settings>about phone>software information>baseband (in some roms directly under "about phone").
[Desire General] chigo58:
i'm coming from CM 703.. now Oxygen 213.. best ROM so far for battery consumption :) very much recommended.
[Desire General] puredesire:
Oxygen 2.1.1 and 2.1.3 ROCKS!!!! :D

Badass
[Desire General] Infineon12:
Also can say that my best battery life experiences where when I used miui Rom.

But also your usage regarding apps, services and settings can change battery life from hours to more than one or two days.

[Mobilerit]
[Desire General] Donnerwurm:
I currently use Reflex S 2.1.0 with Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08 and battery life is awesome. And you get new Sense 3.0 widgets & lockscreen.

I used MiUi mith ManU-Kernel before and battery life also was excellent. But i can't live without Sense for a long time :) Sadly ManU-Kernel doesn't seem to work with Reflex S. I'm getting graphic glitches with ReflexS + ManU.
[Desire General] erklat:
Of course it doesn't work. It clearly states [aosp] in the title. How did you managed to flash aosp kernel on the sense rom anyway o.O
[Desire General] tobydjones:
I use an app: Juice Defender Plus. Difficult to say how much it helps without doing repeatable testing, but since it switches off the network when on wifi, at night, etc etc, I believe it when it says it's given me an extra 80% battery life.
[Desire General] tobydjones:
starburst is another Sense-based ROM with data2SD. I've only just rooted and flashed starburst, so I can't compare with LeeDroid I'm afraid, but my phone is basically the same as it was (in a good way) with extra memory. And a few nice touches, like 'reboot' on the shutdown menu. I'm sure there's a whole lot more going on under the hood :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DR-EVIL23:
hi, new here... :o

i was wondering, when i'm doing a nandroid backup using CWM recovery does its backing up my current kernel and modem as well or just my current rom?

in other words, does the .zip backup file contains only the rom or the kernel and modem as well? :O

thanks. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
No. CWM only backs the rom. There is an app called SGS Kernel Flasher that is "supposed" to backup your kernel, I haven't tried that function. I don't know of a way to backup a modem.

What I do. I keep a modem and kernel zip on my SD. When you restore your backup in CWM you can install both of those before you reboot without affecting the backup.

yeah, i'm using Kernel Flasher for backing up kermels, but which app lets you back up a modem? :o
