Hello,

I am creating a skin and I just need a few people to confirm that it works on their device. You do not have to be rooted, but if you are, please be sure you are running a stock ROM before requesting the theme and reporting back. The theme is not completely finished yet, I am just trying to create a list of confirmed devices it works on. Thanks, PM me if you are interested.
[Nexus S General] evivbulgroz:
Hello,

I just bought a nexus s and I think I have dead pixels,Does some of you experienced this?

Here's a pic:

[Nexus S General] ghost010:
Return it now! Shoukdnt have dead pixels
[Nexus S General] DarkManX4lf:
Yes return the phone and get a replacement.
[Nexus S General] jgalan14:
Wow I never seen a dead pixel on a iphone last time I saw one was in my psps when I came out
[Nexus S General] Paleryder:
Yes those are dead pixels and they will exchange the phone no problem, you have quite a few also. You should be happy with a new phone.
[Nexus S General] bfksc:
Those are actually stuck pixels, not really dead pixels, but since they don't change they're useless and could be considered "dead". But you should get your phone exchanged for a new one as pixel issues in this day and age of display technology should never be seen. I once bought an LCD monitor that had about 15 stuck pixels in about 6 groups of 2 or 3 pixels. The "policy" of the store was not to exchange monitors with less than 20. But I looked at a display model which was 100%, and then opened another box and insisted he check that one and it was 100% too, so I asked him why should I be stuck with a less than 100% monitor? He reluctantly exchanged it and I still have that monitor 5 years later and it's still 100%. Since then I've never had another display (TV, computer, cell) that was less than 100%, so I would complain if even a single pixel was dead/stuck.

For the record, my Nexus S is 100%. My wife's HTC Desire (nee mine) is still 100%, and my daughter's HTC Legend is also 100% still. Don't hesitate or let them bully you - get it exchanged ASAP.

:)
[Nexus S General] ryno502:
The first thing I do when I get a new phone is check for dead pixels. I can live with a couple on a large monitor or TV, but not on a small screen like a cell phone.
[Nexus S General] BananaPhone69:
This is a problem! Also, if it has this and it is new, chances are things will get worse along the lifespan of the device. Get it replaced asap.
[Nexus S General] evivbulgroz:
I will get it replaced tomorrow, I hope they'll accept to exchange it...
[Nexus S General] docster121:
Shocking! Think you may have broken a world record. With that amount of dead pixels they cannot argue.
[Nexus S General] ptfdmedic:
Dead pixels on a samoled screen is not very common. One of the reasons I love the screens. However, I did have one on my last replacement Epic. LCD's like Evo's are more prone to dead pixels and they are pretty common. I had at least one or two in the couple I had.
[Droid X General] skate72w:
Hello XDA

I recently updated my phone through Verizon to

Android Version 2.3.3

System Verion 4.5.596

Before I was interested in rooting. I have been researching and tried everything I could find to root this version

but nothing has worked. (gingerbreak, z4root, easyroot, ect.) I did a factory reset/system wipe.

(still 2.3.3 - 4.5.596 on reset)

Am I doing something wrong? Should this version be rooting with GingerBreak or another root program?

(They all are stuck on loading screens never finish or reboot)

or (from what I have read) do I need to rollback to an earlier version to be able to load the 'prerooted'

gingerbread OS?

I am fairly new to this, and am sorry for my ignorance. If it is out there somewhere a link would safice

but as of now I haven't been able to find anything dealing directly with my situation. Thank you for any

and all help.

[Droid X General] RodrigoKim:

I don't want to sound redundant to skate 72w but I have searched the forums up and down.. Is there any other one-click way to root my stock GB 4.5.596 droid x? I found this article

I do not see where it talks about the 4.5.596...

If not, can someone please direct me in the right way to get froyo back so I can have my wireless tether back! :D

Thanks,

[Droid X General] taweekly:
There is a rooting method or p3droid would not have been able to root. Wish he would share.
[Droid X General] mrkite38:
p3 tends to 'find' things that other folks don't have. He has a rooted .596 but it's achieved through flashing. He has not announced a way to root the OTA, and I think he would do so if he had one.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:

OTA Root

I love my Droid X - hate the VZ CRAPWARE.

I now have the 4.5.596 (2.3.3) OTA update.

The only update method to obtain root is to SBF to Froyo - Root - and install the TBH/P3 Droid pre-rooted update.

At this point, I have too many apps installed and too many settings to reconfigure to take the route.

My main goal is to obtain root (such as a Z4 root style one click) so that I can maintain all my apps and configurations. Once I root, then I can freeze all the VZ Crap (every Google Maps update requires me to choose between GM and VZ Navigator the first time 1 click an address, and having to choose the contacts database EVERY TIME to Google is a PITA - Backup Assistant should be something I can DISABLE).

Sorry for the rant - to the point - does anyone know if ongoing efforts are being made to create a one-click Root for the Droid X? (Or a multi step that preserves data / apps / and settings)

guess what sucks about rooting leaks is that it gives the vendors the holes to repair.. if we didnt root the latest.. the ota probably would probably be rootable.

[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Hey guys, I have a problem with my Sensation. Whenever I fully charge it and then remove it from the charger, use it for like an hour or two, the phone still thinks the battery is 100% charged. When looking inside the battery usage, it shows the graph with 0s underneath it, while in the previous screen where you see the apps battery usage it says 2h 5m 13s or something like that.

This wouldn't really be a problem, but when I started up Maps Navigation and plugged the charger in the car, it wouldn't charge because it still assumed the battery was 100% charged!

Any of you also having this problem? Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Does it stay 100% forever? Then you may have the inexhaustible battery... (not sure if this is grammaticaly correct :p)

I wouldn't consider this a problem. You can download a battery monitoring app from the market and see what's going on with your phone and if the 100% that it's rerporting is correct. Also, check that the battery contacts are clean.
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
Not sure my phone does that but it can be on half charge then when I reset phone it's gone up a notch. This morning it didn't look like it had charged although it had been plugged in. When I switched it was on orange then it did the charging animation for a few seconds without charger plugged in then stopped on full. Odd.
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
Mine stays on 100% for a couple of hours too, has done since I got it.

I think perhaps HTC are "cheating" (or using "creative coding", whichever expression you prefer) in the way they report the battery percentage. Make the battery appear better than it is. Just a theory, of course.

That happens to me a lot too. Woke up this morning, phone had been charging for nearly 5 hours, but was only on 82%. After a couple of minutes of the screen being on, it had leapt to 100% and stopped charging.

Also, once the battery is below about 20%, it will sometimes drop 2-3% at a time. Odd.
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
Looks like they totally screwed the battery meter hardware or something in the software. Remembers me of my iPod touch :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] override182:
Experienced the say.. hopefully either it will auto be fine due to charge cycle or via updates
[HTC Sensation] platinumandroid:
The Battery driver that LG used for the G2X has the same problem,a simple reboot fixes it,hope this helps "temporarily" that is.Cheers

[HTC Sensation] n4sa:
I received my phone yesterday and charged it for 4-5 hours throughout the day. Last night it was close to 100% while I was playing with it (off the charger). I then charged it over night for 9 hours. This morning the battery says it's at 50% but has 15 hours left.

Weird :\
[HTC Sensation] EnhancerFIN:
Charge the battery with the power turned off overnight, in the morning unplug the charger, turn the phone on, and shutdown again, and plug the charger back for 30

mins phone still turned off. After that start using the phone normally, this way you calibrate the phones battery meter properly.

But out of the two; Motorola XOOM and ASUS EEE Pad according to me, ASUS EEE Pad is the winner with its stylish looks with Dock Keyboard and its Transformer Design.

So my vote is ASUS EEE Pad .

In the UK, the 16GB Transformer WITH the dock (and hence double the xooms battery life), is the same price as the Xoom. £430.

[Windows Phone 7 General] blindpet:
I was reading a scientific article on my phone today and thought that it would be cool if IE offered some built in dictionary. Since copy and paste was implemented when you press a word it is automatically highlighted and the little icon pops up that enables you to paste. I was thinking it would be awesome if, in addition to the copy icon, there was another icon that looked like a magnifying class and when you pressed it a mini popup came out of the word with the definition from dicitonary.com or something.

Is this possible?

Would anyone else welcome such a feature?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RGBell:
Highlight the word and press the Search button on your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blindpet:
Just tested this but it requires many more clicks/presses.

Your method:

Press word

Press search button

Press search result

My method:

Press word

Press define button

There would also be significantly less waiting on the data connection if my method was implemented, even more so if it was an offline method.
[Windows Phone 7 General] npoe:
I would welcome the feature, but there is no such or plans as far as I know. It was good back in the days that Encarta was available and we could use the accelerator in IE to find the meaning of words.

The option given by RG is good enough.

Cell standby.

W

T

F?

On my OG Droid, The largest battery consumer was almost invariably Display, followed by Browser. On my wife's Galaxy Tab, same deal. On the Streak 7, Cell standby is almost always at the top of the list; usually by quite a wide margin.

Why is this? It doesn't seem to matter if I leave it on WCDMA only or WCDMA/GSM; it always sucks. Is there a reason for this? Did Dell mess up on the hardware? Does HSPA+ really take that much battery (and, if so, why the same problem when setting it to EDGE only)?

There seem to be a lot of posts on this in the G2X forum, as well, so I'll go troll there for a bit. Any input or discussion on this would be nice, since it would be nice to fix the issue.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
I'm not finding any answers, but there is one glimmer of hope: people reporting 45%+ battery drain coming from Cell Standby on the G2X with FroYo say it's gone down to about 25% with Gingerbread. Maybe an OS update will fix the issue?

I'm also thinking this has to do with 4G. I get the issue regardless of the cell antenna I use, so I think there's something about the 4G antenna that simply kills battery, whether or not it's used. Don't know, just an impression.

Anyone having the Cell Standby issue on HoneyStreak? My battery was so poor on HoneyStreak I could almost watch the numbers go down in real time, so I didn't do much testing with it (the Streak 7's my main device, so I have to have a daily driver ROM with all or most features working).
[Dell Streak 7] metal1f3:
I have the same issue. Cell standby is usually around 71%, and my streak is wifi only? I don't get it.
[Dell Streak 7] Z4nd4r:
Your problem is fixable. Search around this forum and you'll find a few ways to disable cell standby on the wifi only model.
[Dell Streak 7] metal1f3:
Well if your talking about the build.prop fix, it didn't work for me. I have read three threads in their entirety including the honeycomb thread, streakdroid thread and one of the threads in the general section with the appropriate name that escapes me now. None of which solved my problem. Not to say they don't work, I've just had no luck with them.
[Dell Streak 7] FredOak3:
OK got rid of it finally, keep in mind this is on the WiFi version, not helpful for the phone versions.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sirejulius:
Hey guys, I really need some help here.

This morning there was a notification about system update, I bet it was the honeycomb 3.1 so I just let it run. However, it turned out that the update failed at last. Since then I can't get the system update notification anymore. I manually checked the update in settings and it showed that "There is no update available for your device currently." I have rebooted the unit several times and tried "Factory data reset" and got no change. I searched around the forum and found this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14345169

and tried the approach mentioned in it and it's still the same.

I even tried using the leaked update file to update the device and it still won't get updated.

Hey all, new poster to xda here, in need of some expertise :-)

A little while back I noticed that the battery life on my wifi xoom took quite a dive. I experimented with removing and reconfiguring several suspect apps, but wasn't able to pinpoint the issue. Then in the battery status screen in settings I noticed that the device is constantly awake, even through all hours of the night. Then in the android system screen within the battery usage section, I noticed a line "Keep Awake.....XXh XXm XXs" almost looks as though there's a setting somewhere telling tthe xoom not to go to sleep. Of course I cant find aany such setting.

Anyone have any thoughts??
[Xoom General] robbiev80:
there may be an app keeping it awake...
[Xoom General] ODog2323:
Of course, but I haven't seen any evidence of that. I've been using SystemPanel to check out app usage over time.

Is getting rid of each app individually the only way to accurately troubleshoot this?
[Xoom General] Old MuckenMire:
You always want to check to make sure your device is sleeping properly after EVERY new app you download AND after EVERY update to existing apps on your device. That way you are never forced to try and figure out which one is causing problems like this in the future.

I once got an update to WeatherBug Elite that kept my Nexus One from sleeping. Since that exprience I give every app update or new app install a half hour on my device before I download a new update or app so in case this sleeping issue happens I can quickly know which app/update is causing the problem.
