[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slbenz:
If you are on a Gingerbread build like I am, you may want to uncheck the Data Enabled box found under Settings/Mobile & Wireless Settings. I found just by unchecking this on the Pongster CM7 build I am on, it stopped the frequent battery spikes I was experiencing. Also, like the other poster said, turn off all active sync, WiFi, GPS Bluetooth, etc. if your build doesn't do already. Use Current Widget found on the Market to determine stand by battery drain. After I unchecked the Data Enabled box, I went from an overnight drain of 20-25% down to 3-4%. On the Froyo build looking at my wife's Android phone, you would uncheck Enable Always-On Mobile box. Hope this helps your situation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
..must be any third party app. My drainage is 2% in flightmode every night. Already tried to find out which app cause your drainage?...also your standby drainage is a bit high. Im losing 1mah per hour or less with data on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
A steady 1mA or less is virtually impossible with the HD2...let alone any phone.

But as a rule of thumb, Android should drain 2-9mA when in standby, it just varies by build, location, what you have installed, signal quality, etc.

Where I live, I have full signal but only Edge and I have data, bluetooth, gps, and auto sync on and I drain on average 6mA when in standby.

You either have Wifi on (it causes weird drain issues), bad signal or an app that is eating your battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
of course i disable everything .....so if i go to setting/about phone/battery use may i see all what drain my battery or i have to get an application that can give exact informations ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
i installed the current widget and in the classic apprearence i see 204 mA and in the clear text apprence i see 204 mA with 89% in the battery. is it normal?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
Sry, I meant ~1% per hour :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
let your screen off for 2 minutes and then check your consumption with current widget(the widget should refresh the value every minute by default)

..so you can be sure that teh shown value is teh standyby value.

The standby value should be between 2-5ma.

When your screen is on it should drain between ~100 - ~300ma depending on your screen brightness.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
i did wait for 2 mn and here's what hapend:

at 10:38. 59 mA

at 10:40. 58 mA

at 10:41. 354 mA

the battery went from 98% to 90% with 10 mn in 3G in about 30 mn :confused:

if u undestand please tell me
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
Thats a big too much :)

Did you already checked the build in battery usage tool?

settings->about phone->battery usage?

What app has got the highest consumption?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deathknellx:
Maybe a little more information about what ROM you are using. There are quite a few experimental ones out there. I'm using CMYLXGO's Bluetopia usually, but I like to try different ones all the time. My battery is usually pretty good with about two days with medium to light use.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
in about phone i see systeme android 57% than standby gsm with 17% ...

i'm using now hyperdroid v12 but i used rafdroid, coredroid, and cm7 and almost the same battery draining ...

i thought it's my battery but when i used another one i saw no diffrence

with heavt use i cant stand a half of day
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
Are you restoring a backup after trying a new rom?

...try with a clean rom without any apps installed.

Seems that an app prevents your phone to go to standby.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mootmetal:
you right ... i did a restore i will try a clean install as u suggested and see the battery drain befor installing any application ...

i want to know if Clk or Magldr or the build version ( 2.3/2.4) have any realation with battery drain ...

i've read that the sense rom and rom based on hd build drain battery faster ... if u used much roms u would see that some roms use battery more than others ... so please i need a personal suggestion from u to use any special rom ( with fm radio if possible...too bad it dosnt work on hyperdroid)

thank u for ur support

CLK over MAGLDR

I was having problem with my NAND Android phone with MAGLDR bootloader. The problem was my phone is unreachable while it is screen off/sleep mode. There is no problem when the screen is on. I tried different versions of Android with all the recommended settings. There is an exemption for Windows 7 mobile, it was OK even when in sleep mode. Two days ago I started using CLK boot loader, and I never had this problem again. To confirm I tried various versions of android including doubleshot and kingdom with sense 3. The only problem I think is the unstable PPP internet connection. MAGLDR was good with its RMNET connection.

Anybody else observed this? Any comments or advise?

To the developers: Please include CLK version or update zip for your new ROM releases.

Thanks

Hi

My phone was bought from O2 last year and came supplied with 2.1

Since then I flashed it with a stock 2.2, now I'm looking to root etc so would like to have a RUU just in case.

Can anyone point me to the standard O2 2.1 & 2.2 RUU files ?

Also anyone got this RUU ( this is what I'm currently running ) :

BaseBand: 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Kernel: 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build: 2.29.405.2 CL263770 release-keys

Software: 2.29.405.2

Thanks :)
[Desire General] martijndutch:
Why would you need the originals? Simple make a backup of the stock you're running now and you'll be fine. As soon as you root you'll loose warrenty anyway.

I'm running the Reflex Rom with the modified hboot - runs great!
[Desire General] martijndutch:
I should had sent you here: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
[Desire General] EddyOS:
See your other post in ROM Development - I've posted it in there (2.29.405.5 is newer than yours so is needed instead of 2.29.405.2)

For reference, you don't have an o2 Desire but an unbranded Desire - if it was an o2 unit the software version would be x.xx.207.x

EDIT: This is a question and, as such, should be in the Q&A section ;)
[Desire General] Lothaen:
not having an o2 (or any) branded phone is normally a good thing in my opinion :)

2.29.405.5 is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869048
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Turns out (s)he debranded going by their other thread.

To the OP - you don't need the 2.1 RUU as I've linked to the 2.2 one in your other thread
[Desire General] andQlimax:
The RUU restore everything, after that you can get warranty again!
[Desire General] albert_htc:
Thanks for all the replies.

Yes it an unbranded Desire..

I want the original O2 RUU just incase I had an issue and my goldcard failed !!

Just need to decide on CM7 or GingerVillian and suggestions are welcome.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It's actually DEbranded - if it was unbranded you wouldn't need a gold card to flash an unbranded RUU ;)
[Desire General] albert_htc:
rooted fine.

Thanks :)

Does running unrevoked wipe any data from the phone or SD Card ??

No, it should not.

I have a problem with the camera, meaning that as soon as I open the application I hear a noise (two shots) and if I look at the camera in the meantime, I see that the sensor moves. What can I do?

I have a Litening 1.2!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
It's normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroat999:
I dont think that is a Problem had that clicking to on other phones its the lens that focuses, clicking 2 times when you aktivate the camera and when you switch

to Video mode,

The problem with the Cam for me is the real bad Focus, its almost imposible to scan barcodes etc. with google googles , etc..

im on newst Cam Firmware !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natascha303:
got 2 with this camera noise and 3 without.

no clue if it's okay ? why different... other lenses ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
for me the noise started after updating the camera firmware
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Salvador:
Did you update through Samsung apps on your phone?

If not, you might have installed a wrong version that doesn't match up with the cam hardware in your phone.

I'm not sure if this a valid reason, but there are some different cams out there which need different firmware versions
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TML1504:
this is mostly because there are at least 3 different cam manufacturers, you can see this clearly because of their different firmware versions (which is of course vendor specific)!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroat999:
Does anyone know what camera, what firmware needs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
ya, that clicking is part of your problem, it is sitting to far out and can't go back. It shouldn't smack the housing and make clicking noises. I have this issue to, might send it it to be fixed or wait for replacement parts to become available.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorti:
Same problem but worst

Me and a buddy of mine both bought the 9100 together of the same shlef. Mine does the clicking sound and his doesn't. But my problem is worst here because it seems that no photo outside of 20cm range comes out in focus.

I am just unable to take a decent photo of anything further than this.

Could a FW fix solve this? how do i know what is my cam mode is? and which FW belongs to it?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vilbrekin:
I also have issue with the camera: the auto focus is not working at all.

I can't tell if it's after flashing litening 1.2 or if it has always been the case...

I have applyed the samsung camera firmware upgrade.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natascha303:
hmmm...i think when designgears says the clickcklick sound of the camera is a defect, then it is one :(

i can't really belive in this vendor specific camera moduls for a noise reason... that whould be just to much quaility difference if samsung is doing that ?!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroat999:
I and 4 of my friends have the phone One with litening Rom1.2 the others all have stock one of them made yesterday the firmware update the other 2 not

and we all have the clicking sound !!

can it be that so many devices have this defective cam,

and non of us coud get a good focus on close distances 10 - 15 cm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroat999:
I just caled samsung support Austria and they sayd the clicking is normal !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D-m-x:
I also have the clicking from the beginning and i havent experienced any Problems. Neither with Barcodes nor with photos. But to be sure someone should test the exact same scenes with 2 devices and post the results.

I dont really remember but i think the clicking just started after the Camera Firmware Update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troed:
I have clicking with camera360 app and no clicking with standard camera .....

Focusses perfect down to 10 cm even when then going to max zoom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Natascha303:
how can i test if it is focusing good ? which mode and settings ? thx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalid:
Clicking sound; no problems.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorti:
It looks like the clicking is a symptom

It looks like the clicking is a symptom, and what I think it means is that the lens is not sitting in its right position.

I assume that the further the lens sits from its intended position, the worst the focus will be.

All in all, if the lens sits pretty close to its intended position then the photos will come out good even though you hear clicking.

On the other hand, other people might be less lucky and the lens position will be totally off and so will not be able to take decent photos at all...

This is of course my theorem, not my knowledgeable absolute...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalid:
It's funny how the clicking of the camera is ALWAYS an issue with every new phone for some people. Many phones have it (not only the SGS2) and it's normal. Some people might have problems with the camera and the focus, but it has nothing to do with the clicking sound. It's just the camera's initialization.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liorti:
Dont know about that...

this is my new phone, and the (very) old one (HTC HD) did not have it.

The thing is, that when one phone has it, and another (of the same make and model) doesnt, then it makes you wonder...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalid:
And not every phone manufacturer uses the same lenses ...

The clicking ones are camera modules from Sony. Non-Clicking ones come from other OEMs.

Be happy - you've got the better camera module. Here's a comperisonshot from a german android-board:

Clicking only post rom flashing

Hi,

My camera definitively started clicking post rom flashing, and is much worse with some roms than others.

One rom, I do not remember which one so not much use I guess, made the clicking hard enough to feel it. Actually as I recal this was with a stock rom I flashed after doing a full wipe.

Now with the latest Angel rom I still have clicking but not too bad.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoPower:
There are any comparison with the TB firmware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I downloaded both images and compared them, I cannot see any real difference. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenDroid:
also - despite the noise there is also a much difference in the cameras ability to focus with different roms.

I have observed low noise = ability 'macro' focus without macro setting - loud noise = nearly impossible to focus on a distance lesser than 20 cm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chalid:
There is a clear difference in sharpness and detail ... ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinessex:
im sick of all you pricks who keep telling people its normal. its fuking not. if it was normal then why did my phone have no noise till one day after installing a rom it started to happen. its firmware not hardware u fukin dicks if you dont know then dont tell people information whats not true. iv done long hard searches now and i think the answer is camera firmware. its the camera firmware telling the camera to do it. if some dev can get a list of firmwares for us to install and try i bet you everyone will eventually have quite phones

You have to load the .apk sideways but then it works fine.

Where can the correct .apk be found? I have tried a few so far and none of them seem to work. Any suggestions on where to get the correct .apk files would be greatly appreciated.

Update: I found a site that has working links to download the Yahoo Messenger v1.4 and the Yahoo Messenger Plug-in v1.4. Both install directly on the tablet and work as desired. The only issue is the video only works with the rear facing camera. Here are the two links:

I have phone numbers on my phone that aren't linked to google sync so when I load a new rom, I lose them. How do I move a contact from "phone" to "google". And please don't say sync because it doesnt
[Thunderbolt General] gixxertriplezero:
U have to save each one separate. Open contact edit save to Google. Should work. It's a known issue with the tbolt syncing new contacts to google

I don't see a save to google option
[Thunderbolt General] gixxertriplezero:
OK when u add a contact the first option is contact type. Make sure that's google

Even easier still.

1. On computer of choice log into google mail

2. Click contacts and add, update and save.

3. ???

4. Profit
[Thunderbolt General] bilbobrian:
Transfer them all from your address book on your pc to google contacts in your email account. They should all sync automatically then. I saved all my contacts from outlook and then imported them in a .vcf file. Google it, is really easy to do.

Perfect, thanks...

Go to contacts.

Export to SD

Export from phone

I thought I had heard of an app that looks at your text messages and if it sees one that is a custom word or phrase it would enable a function. Like you send it "gymnasium" and it would enable 3g. Any ideas or suggestions?

I have an HTC Evo that I usually have the 3g turned off and would like this option if it ever went missing or was stolen. Then I could do a remote wipe, scream, or locate with the Lookout Security app.

Hey guys,

You may have noticed the past few days that I have been on here less. I have been trying to get my new blog up and running:Link >>#NeverAgain

I am not leaving XDA, heck no... love this place too much for that. BUT, I did want to let you all know that I have a great Q&A with birgertime, who, lets be honest, has made ALL of our phones better.

I thought you all may like to learn more about the guy... not just the developer. Hope you enjoy. If you do (or do not), please leave a comment on the blog and help spread the word.

The more people I can reach... the better. Especially if we are going to need another #NeverAgain campaign for Gingerbread (Samsung reps are already aware of my blog - 3 days old today).

Hi there, I recently purchased the "powerskin" for my mytouch 4g. But what is super annoying is that the green charging light stays on ALL day while the powerskin is attached.

Unlike most other power skins for other phones apparently this one does not have the "on/off" button feature... which i really would like. Seems bad/silly to leave the phone charging 24 hours a day?

Anyways. I was curious if there was a way to disable LED while charging but still show my notifications? I'm rooted and running cyanogenmod nightly #93. I tried messing with "LED hack" from the market, but that just disabled the LED all together. I would still like to retain the blinking email/text/ect... abilities.

WTF powerskin?! put a damn ON/OFF button on this thing!

any help is appreciated.
