my 3g/wifi icons are sometimes white and stay white after switching... does this mean im not being connected to google's services? anyone else experience it?

when its white, the sync icon lasts around for a long time, too.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tecknical:
besides my WPA2 wifi not working this kernel is awesome. switch between 4g and 3g is quick and relatively painless, audio is loud and clear, battery is good.

I just hope the wifi gets fixed soon :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jakejonez:
I did a fresh install, and I wiped Dalvik and fixed permissions, as I am trying to narrow down the issue. Nonetheless, I'm on the standard battery, and I lose about 10% battery/hour—that's with the phone off, in my pocket, connected to 3G (no LTE here). Battery usage indicates cell standby as the culprit, as it has always been for me since the first pre-alpha of CM7.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drod2169:
Fixed already, run 0.5 :)

Edit: just kidding my camera doesn't show what I'm taking a picture of now.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill3508:
Running nice so far. 1400/conservative gov.

Thunderbolt CM7 Kang Bang
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Derrtydozen:
with regards to battery life, which is better conservative of LAGFREE?

Sorry if this is obvious but I'm just not seeing it clear
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drod2169:
I'd go for lagfree. Gives me great battery life. I haven't used conservative myself, but lagfree is based off conservative, with extra tweaks.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
How's the performance, though? Conservative was always pretty eh.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bill3508:
To me lagfree is smoother, but performance numbers are similar.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] SomeGuyDude:
Quadrant doesn't mean crap. I just took it for a test drive today and it's a no go.

Google's Music Beta app lags like CRAZY with lagfree. It takes FOREVER to load up all my music and select artists. I put it back on InteractiveX and all's well.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Derrtydozen:
But but, its LAGFREE!!! :p

Is there a way to get wireless charging in an AOSP kernel
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
Does anyone still have 0.6 and could spare a dl link? It's the last one that worked with my wired headset, I think because it's because it was based off the ace kernel.

It also correctly supports tty vco.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] drod2169:
Head set works fine for me in 0.8. I touched nothing that would affect that?

And as far as lag free vs interactive, of course interactive is gonna win, guys :)

Interactive is designed for speed. Lagfree is designed more-so for battery (a more aggressive conservative governor in a way)

OnDemand is what I run. Interactive drains too quickly. Ondemand is smooth as butter. Perfect blend of battery and performance.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lrs421:
It's bizarre as hell, these freakin headphones only work with the 0.6 kernel, once I install 0.8 the buttons no longer work. Weird. Freakin Monster Cable!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Seanren78:
Loving .8....using it daily after switching up various released kernel. Very stable.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] wrich73:
Great kernel!

Quick question, have you considered incorporating SBC into the kernel at any point in time?

I was running CM7 on my EVO before making the switch to the TB, and I miss the extra battery life I would get using the kernels (like SavagedZen) with the SBC mod.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] stanlalee:
Love this kernel, please dont abandoned support on it. Doesn't have a zillion user selectable customizations but it has a lot of frequency slots and governers and just works( I sound like one of those iphone fans talking about their device lol)!

good stuff so far and first time using your kernel. If fixing the car dock on the to do list? Also out of the box the highest clock speed froze my phone. So far those are the only two off things i've noticed. Running CM7 RC1.3, and the latest GB radio. Battery life is great thus far as are my 4G speeds.

[HD2 General] rysky007:
K before the flaming begins, i did search and its a mess, i wish important files and updates with instructions would be tagged up top and simplified.

I cracked my screen, and purchased a whole phone from ebay, the phone was service stock and works fine just crashes often, thought it was a sim issue, got a new sim still does it, it just randomly shuts down, reboots gets to the htc sense screen and then crashes again, getting stuck at the stick together loading screen.

I want to try to update the phone with the latest updates. But since windows mobile center is such a crappy software and does not show you updates there or allow to install them, I remember some were here was the update .cab file and how to do the update.

So if any one can show me were its at, be great full, also were do I check to see if the version of the OS i have is the updated one or if needs to be updated?

Thank you in advance.

With the European HD2 several carriers use it and there are several different official updates for them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h20pt:
Hello,

Seems that my brand new GS2 (arrived today) is not in its best shape.. First had problems with boot looping.. Now (and since the first time i turned on the phone) i can't get a GPS signal lock.. I've tried all different combinations with kernel's and rom's.

I actually can see the sattelites using GPS Status but it never gets a lock.. It just keeps trying and trying..

Anyone having this issue or know how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h20pt:
Anyone? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h20pt:
After a lot of cache and factory wipes still no luck..

GPS status can indeed see the sattelites but phone can't lock a signal...

I guess the best thing i can do is send it back to warranty right? It's probably a GPS hardware problem..

The binary counter is no longer at 0.. It's at 5 or 6 can't remember.. Is there a problem if i send the phone back to warranty with binary counter like that but with original ROM and kernel?

Thanks

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Hey Guys,

I live in Ontario, Canada and ended up buying an AT&T Atrix 4G online that was supposed to be unlocked however is not...(I'm with Rogers)

I know the typical unlock method buy purchasing an unlock code from some sites or a local cell phone unlock shop, however I have been hearing about how one can call the service provider and given the right reasons - receive an unlock code from them.

My problem is if I were to try this out, would I call my service provider? Rogers

OR

Would I call the original manufacturer of this phone? AT&T

I do understand that part of the process of getting the unlock code involves the IMEI # of the phone.

Thanks,
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
If it's an AT&T phone, they will have unlock codes. Worst that can happen is they say no. If they do, pay to get the codes from one of the reputable sites.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] v88p:
I have owned my SGS for around 9 months now, and have been downloading roms and tweaks from xdadevs for around 8 months for my SGS. There have been countless times where I have seen claims of batter life extending to 2-3 days, I have even seen claims of 4/5 days!

These claims are ridiculous, particularly if you utilise you smart phone as a SMART PHONE, and these claims are also hugely misleading to newbies. When I first started using XDA and read about 2-3 days battery life I was worried about my phone or battery being faulty. After using the phone for a few weeks and flashing countless roms I realised that around 7 to 10% is NORMAL if you utilise your smart phone for what it is.

The people who do get 2-3 days battery life why do you own a £300 phone and use it like a £10 nokia 1100?

A smart phone has so many features for a reason - they are to be used.

My day to day use on Juwe's Smart Edition v4.3.1 XWJVH Based On Official 2.3.3*

3G/H on

about 1 hour of calls

push email for three email accounts

live wall paper

a couple of widgets which download data every 3 hours

some gaming

approx 30-50 texts a day

whatsapp

liveprofile

1-2 hours music

automatic brightness

This sort of use will give me 10-12 hours battery life.

Can anyone who do claim heavy use and get 2-3 days battery life detail their use and set-up to justify claims of heavy use and make it clear to newbies what REALLY to expect from their smart phone.

Remember, this phone has an array of brilliant feature which have been made to be utilised.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] WarDrake:
48 hours of battery for me

Juwe's 4.3.1 based on JVH

3g/h on 24/7

wifi, gps, auto rotate on 24/7

2 hours of calls at least a day

30 to 50 sms daily

no widgets, i prefer a slick apearance

no live wallpaper

4 accounts with push from 9am to 6pm auto check every 15 minutes the rest of the time

1 hour of FM radio everyday

at least 30 minutes gametime everyday if not more

lots of internet usage

twitter : sync's every 1o minutes

facebook : sync's every 4 hours

sms/call log backup every 6 hours

watchdog software running 24/7

sync to dropbox of apps/sms/calllog/camera pictures every 12 hours
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xtoad:
Nice post...

In total agreeance with you. I am also a user of the phone and find it silly to have to turn stuff off or go into airplane mode at night, etc. I want to use my phone and not make it an exercise in restraint.

I've also noticed that, for my use, the battery life is pretty consistent. I get about 2 days with everything on, and fairly light use. There is no 'magic' tweak that will double it and stuff like calibrating and erasing battery stats make little difference. What makes the difference is how you use it... Overclocking, bright screens, games... the more you use the less battery life you have. Use the phone, that's what it's for. :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] agnivo007:
Half a day with that much use is OK... for the people who don't want to risk hooking to a charger often or on the move, I suggest buying a rechargeable portable battery pack which when plugged into the phone can recharge without AC mains; so you have a portable charger always around to fill up the phone juice whenever needed.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] vcespon:
Oh, come on, how difficult is for people to understand this?. You have a device with a 1 GHz CPU, a 4" AMOLED screen, 3G, Wifi, bluetooth radios.. Everything uses power, the more things you use, the more power it takes.

Of course if you have the screen off, WiFi off, 3G data off, bluetooth off, no data sync, not make phone calls... the phone can last one week on standby.

If you're USING the phone, the standard battery will drop 20% every hour or so. I've seen the battery gone down to 10% in a few hours. Battery hogs are in approximate order:

- Screen (even on low brightness)

- 3G data traffic

- Wifi traffic (wifi ON but no traffic has low impact)

- GPS on

- GPU (3D games)

- Voice traffic (screen is off during calls, does not take much power)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redstar2k:
Smart using the smartphone

3-4 days for me.

And no, I'm not using it as a Nokia 1100.

Have wifi turned on all the time so it automatically connects to home & work wifi when in range. I check the news every morning for about 10-15min @home when drinking my cafe and have a smoke before leave to work. Sync is ON, k-9 mail checking emails, GO Weather and other apps using data from time to time.

Couple of calls everyday, 5-10min total (I don't say stories on the phone).

I don't listen music from the phone (if I wanna do that I'll use the mp3 player which is built for that and can run 6-7h with a single AAA accu. Also I have a car radio and winamp on the work computer so why use the phone for such?)

Yes, it's a smartphone and I use it as a smartphone. Wonder if some users are as smart as their phone to use it properly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
as mentioned a few times before, for what the phone is capable of, amoled screen, wifi, gps, 3d gaming, mp3 player and so on. you can expect the battery to drain quick.

battery life dont bother me, ive always got a place to charge if needed, and i do abuse my phone, so its expected,

the makers are trying to cram all these goodies into a small compact phone, leaving not much room for a huge battery to power it all.

there are replacement batteries on ebay 3000Mah really big, and they come with the SGS back case to fit it, it doesnt look too bad really. and if battery is a big issue for you, invest in one. they are not too expensive and will give you juice when its really needed.

probably would work out cheaper than paying for apps to monitor and improve battery life....

if the SGS came with a battery the size of your fist, you would be complaining at that too.... even if it lasted a month on 1 charge lol
