Adding to the pile of MikG Sense 2.1+3.0 recommendations. It's definitely not lacking in the "cool" department and I've been actually amazed at its stability. I figured that since it's based on a port from the Evo Shift that it would have weird issues, but I actually haven't run into any yet. It just works for me.

I've been using Decks ROM since about March and I can't see myself on another ROM at this point. You get spoiled by the battery life that's for sure. Solid as a rock too.

It's a pretty bare ROM. No fancy launchers or themes etc... It's a great blank canvas to work with.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haraldr Blaatand:
I would like to have the screen power down, but leave the touchscreen active. Then I can tap/swipe the screen to return the display, instead of hitting the power button. [Note: This is only for a "docked" state.]

Also, since "Display" is always the battery killer, this could prove useful for battery savings. With the screen dimmed to 20, I'm drawing about ~500mA. With the display is off, the power draw is ~100mA. Pandora is playing away the whole time. [Note: I'm not checking the power draw often, so take these numbers with a grain of salt.]

I would really like the nitty gritty details on how the power is routed to all the components (i.e. what can be independently powered up/down, and what is on the same power bus).

Any kernel gurus out there?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sealdog:
To be honest, this just sounds like a not-so-good idea.

Why not just flash something that gives your optical button joystick thing an unlock function?

And if you are just using this for when it is docked, why not just leave the screen on?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haraldr Blaatand:
:) So, flashing an unofficial rom is a good idea, but tweaking one is not? If people didn't try the "not-so-good" ideas, this site wouldn't exist.

I have CM7, so I have the feature... disabled. The OJ button pushes the phone "dock" across my desk, and unlocks my phone if I pull it out of my pocket the wrong way. Besides, this is only substituting one button for another.

At a minimum, it would be nice to get the backlight to <5 (out of 255, not %), but I assume a full power down is where the real power savings will come from. I just want to tap the screen to bring back the UI.

Charging + screen on + CPU active = overheating battery. (i.e. It's not good for the battery.)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
No need to get defensive but I see your point.

I think he just meant not optimal or efficient but it is your phone and actually sounded like an idea I thought of a while back. I'll be watching the thread.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haraldr Blaatand:
That was more after-work-commute mood than anything he said. I thought I caught the pissy bits (that isn't the original text), but apparently not.

So, sorry, SealDog. I didn't mean to be such an _____. :o

Anyways, here's another way to think about it, or just more info....

I just plugged in to AC, and the battery is at 23%. This means the charge current is at ~950mA.

With the screen off, it's putting ~800-850mA towards charging the battery (fast charge rate). With the screen on, it's only putting ~500mA towards charging (trickle charge rate), and burning up ~450mA.

Somewhere around 40-42 degrees C, the charge controller drops to ~500mA, because the battery is getting too hot. Yet, I'm still drawing ~450mA, leaving almost no current towards charging.

When it gets hotter (42-44 degrees C), the charger shuts off completely. Now, I'm just discharging the battery.

I have run into this too many times. 6+ hours on the charger, and the battery has only charged up 10-15%. Not cool. (In fact, the phone is freaking hot.)

BTW, I'm trying find every on/off setting I can (e.g. 1x/3G toggle). Mainly, I want to know what each unit's idle power is. I read about lots of battery saving things, but do they really help? Does 1x truly draw less idle current than 3G? Does shutting off wifi, gps, etc. actually save power when idle? Byrong did a nice backlight + CPU frequency examination. I'd just like to go further. I have an incomplete test built in Tasker (I have to fix the stinking task priorities, and remove all "sleeps").

My ultimate goal is to have a set of Tasker profiles that optimize power consumption for my purposes, without sacrificing functionality. For example, my mobile data choice is on or off, but off means C2DM can't reach the phone. I have plans for C2DM, so this isn't something I wish to sacrifice. But, if the screen is off and the network load is near zero, 1x is sufficient.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taronas:
Hi all,

I'm not yet allowed to post in the dev forum so my question goes here. I went with the mentioned ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080009 at version 0.2.4 and it is great, overall. But since I updated to 0.2.5 I have one issue: The system (really the whole system not only one app) cannot display special characters (Non-ascii?).

Example: Titanium Backup * Root. If you look at it's market entry it has a Star between the App name and "Root". I see only a empty box instead. Also, in the app itself, it has some bullets on the main screen (also small stars) that end up as boxes here. Web pages with such characters also don't show properly. I. e. a typical google code issue list has little triangles pointing up or down to indicate sorting: boxes here ... There are some place in the Android system setting screen where those boxes show up and probably more places I just cant remember right now. I posted about this in the issue tracker http://code.google.com/p/open-soju/issues/detail?id=7

Initially, I installed 0.2.5 right over 0.2.4 and I don't remeber seeing those boxes. But then I read in the announcement that a wipe is suggested and I did the wipe and reinstalled 0.2.5 and now I have this :(

Anybody else seeing this?

Any ideas about a fix?

thanks

There's an app on the market called TuneIn that play local FM radio stations, it work for EC05. Any who like to listen to FM radio should give it a try
[Epic 4G Themes] crawrj:
It is a great app but not really an FM player. It depends on your location and what channels are offered. None of the local stations that I listen to are available. Because of that I don't consider it an FM player. But it is a great app nonetheless.
[Epic 4G Themes] The Root:
I love it for listening to 660 WFAN in NY at work. I use MLB for actual games. I've also been able to use Tune-in to catch Seahawks games. Often it's the opponent's station, but hey, I'm not complaining.
[Epic 4G Themes] XxLostSoulxX:
its TuneIn Radio but none the less its amazing been using for a long time now and love the fact i can listen to radio stations back where i lived in Rochester, NY before i moved to Texas. One thing though is it doesn't play one of the stations i listen to is 102.1 the Edge it says restricted so that sucks but if you have a HTC you can listen to its because of its FM Radio.
[Epic 4G Themes] Grommish:

I was researching FM radios and Android and came across this thread. So, it's not really receiving FM signals?

So the Arc users who were on 2.3.2 and on build .181, who rooted their Arc, were able to update to 2.3.3 via OTA update?

What are you talking about? Are you saying people who rooted the rogers firmware wont see OTA updates? Im pretty sure this update is real. People on the arc fourms already got their rogers update as well. They updated OTA and still have root.:) BUT! I'm sticking to the generic UK firmware bc I know rogers updates will be slow and the generic one will get it first as always XD

[Xperia Play General] emann56:
You will lose root that way.

Oh no! .. maybe I should cancel then...

Is that why people are waiting for the update to be made available by OTA?

It's more stable, battery life longer,and it's basically the whole face book thing. Lots of Security updates too. Don't expect the camera to get updated. They shaved off the high mp camera to put in a game pad and slim the phone down.

Did you root first? If so did it keep the root?

Just updated to 2.3.3 here in Alberta... did it through the PC companion.. took not to long. the initial boot after update seemed to take forever.. roughly 8 minutes.

After everything booted up, i restarted the phone again .. and already noticed the boot time was alot faster.. faster than 2.3.2 for sure..

I was getting the same thing where the OTA update said the phone version was current .. but the PC companion found a new version and the install was easy as pie.

Dont notice anything else differant really. other than the boot time... hopefully ill notice the battery life increase everyones talking about..

** and maybe its just me . but my predictive text in messaging seems slightly diffearnt ? i dont know how . it just does.. :P maybe its just me.
