Has there been any better battery life with a different kernel?

I'm trying pb&j @ minus 50mv.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ACLakey:
I have run this setup for several months with different Kernels and Roms. It was running fine until last last week when this gremlin popped it's head up.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ACLakey:
I was systematically eliminating scenarios to try and figure this issue out. I deleted all email accounts off the phone. Talked with the IS guy at work and he looked my phone up on the mail server. Some how there were six instances of my phone on the server so he killed them all. I went into my contacts in Outlook and I had close to 100 copies of every contact there. We think it was constantly pushing contact data to the mail server in the form of contact backups. I have reinstalled all my email accounts on the phone and synced the contacts with my work account. I then disabled contact syncing with that account. It has been a few hours but all seems right in the universe again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Onebryteday:
That is good news! I've been watching my data usage and it has been avg around 10mb/day.

I flashed back to pnp ee19 just to verify my data usage.

I think I'm going back to H57 tonight. Thanks for your update! :)

What happened to the GR-12 rom, the thread got closed..

also, whats the difference between the new serendipity and gr-12?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
you answered your own question...the gr-x series have become the new serendipity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samvillian:
Hmmm interesting. So I should regard the serendipity as an update?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
YUP.

the gr series were more of the beta version...its grown up into serendipity.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samvillian:
Thanks luda.

I went to the serendipity IRC but they weren't there :(... lol.

I love my gr-12... So it best be good!!!!!!!!!!!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siccminded:
Just got my Tmobile SGT last week and wanted to make it different from all my friends that had one. For the moment it was the talk of the crowd when it was running Gingerbread and unlocked to the network and running a bunch of nonsense/useless apps that made people laugh for hours. Well, somehow I ended up bored and ended up flashing it back to stock tmobile. Well, now it does not connect to the carrier and the power button just restarts the whole damn thing. And also it will not go into recovery nor download mode either. Can anyone guide me in the right direction to make it work like how it did before I owned it??? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Strange if your tab boots into gui but you cannot go into recovery or dl mode.......
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siccminded:
Today again I started tinkering with it and got it back running correctly. I ended up rooting it with z4root then put CWM Recovery to gain back the ability to get into recovery and dl mode. Yay! And so.... I ended up flashing it again, but this time used Overcome-Gingerbread and followed the directions CAREFULLY. Everything turned out just fine and dandy except I still cant connect to the service carrier. I think this happened when I removed the sim network lock thing. Any advice pls?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02xda1:
did you flash the correct modem?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siccminded:
Yup, I used the TMobile US one.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siccminded:
Okay I think I might be wording this wrong...

Noticed in the status screen it shows "T-Mobile" under Network and "In Service" under Service State. Meaning I am connecting to my carrier, correct??? And also TMobile shows up on the top right corner when on the lock screen.

But when I try to browse the Internet it returns with pop up "No network connection Unable to load page. Internet not connected."
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j@cks:
Mmmm your APN settings are correct?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siccminded:
Yep! Even try a few different ones also.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02xda1:
In light of this, I would be pointing fingers at the apn settings, that and silly but check to make sure data is turned on in the settings.

Other than that I'm out of ideas
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
i believe u must flash your old stock rom CSC or replace it via root explorer .. after u did that ... fire up the dialer .. write *#272*IMEI# then choose your country code

or if you are in euro just forget all this steps and do only the *#272*IMEI# STEP and you'll get your 3g up and work :)
[HTC Desire S] boxecutor:
Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there are any find about that are Honeycomb based. Have been looking and only found one which did not work and kept force closing on setup screen.

Many thanks

Boxecutor
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
no, i don't think there are any honeycomb roms for the desire S :(

if i am correct the honeycomb source code is not out yet (not sure about it though)
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I don't think honeycomb will look good on a phone. Just because it's 3.1, doesn't mean it's better than 2.3. It's optimized for tablets. There isn't one phone that has official honeycomb running.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
At least none that work as phones any more once it's ported
[HTC Desire S] Rexton270:
Wait for the new Sandwich :-) it'll have some HoneyCombe goodies ...
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
At least there's a Honeycomb theme for ADW. :D
[HTC Desire S] Malooga:
I've tried Honeycomb on my original Desire, it was a very early port though so they may have gotten further in development now. As for my experience it looked nice and a lot of it worked but our screens are way too small to use it on a regular basis.
[HTC Desire S] evannetuser:
i don't know why u want a honeycomb based rom, maybe google just release it for pad, and android 2.4 will be for both phone and pad (i forget where i read it). and now, the roms for desire s i know are all based on 2.3.3, even not 2.3.4. so i think a honeycomb based rom just can be build from the source code, and waiting for 2.4. [i hope u can understand these words, i'm not good at english.]
[HTC Desire S] andypig04:
the china android forum has the "no sense" +"android 3.0 theme"

is this u want?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] SirSid:
Hi,

Just as the title says, but does the transformer charge via the usb 3.0 ports on some modern motherboards?

Or will it only charge in sleep from those as well. I seem to remember reading that usb 3 had a larger power output, but I cant be sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] down8:
It seems to get a little juice from my GA-EP45T-USB3P - but just a little bit.

-bZj
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
It should charge at about the same speed as a USB port. The only reason ASUS uses a USB 3.0 cable is so that the AC adapter can deliver 15 (instead of the usual 5v USB) volts over the extra USB 3.0 pins. USB 3.0 ports can deliver 900mA (vs 500mA on 2.0 ports) but that is probably less than the discharge rate of the TF with the screen on.
[HTC Sensation] tenbeau:
I am deliberating on whether to get a refund or ask for a replacement. Along with overheating(or just getting a little too warm) and reboots(twice a screen has come up and stated that "the device has done an improper reset please send info on to HTC) and non responsive screens and lags(My G2x has some of those too.) I now have noticed that the screen on my Sensation is really washed out. I put it on the same live wallpaper on the sensation as the G2X and it just looks really washed out on the Sensation. The viewing angle is extremely small.It reminds me of theMT4G fiasco a while back. I really do like the Sensation and I can put up with the battery running hot etc. but not with washed out screen. Has anyone else had this issue? I am looking for reasons to get a replacement and not just turn it in for a refund. The Sensation is sweet in many areas but I just cannot tolerate a washed out screen. I had the G2x and went through 4 of them before I got a screen that was tolerable. I do not want to go through that again. Any and all input and info is appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
I have compared my Sensation side by side with my G2X to see the difference in screen and I would hardly call the sensation "washed out". The G2X screen is slightly brighter but that's about all the difference I really see. It sounds like (and no offense is intended with this statement) you're one of those people that are going to find a reason to have a complaint. I don't mean that to be offensive I mean that to say, the screen is what it is. If you feel like the screen is washed out, then there is no need for you to waste Sensations that other people could be getting. Just return it and move on to another phone.
[HTC Sensation] baymon:
doesn't G2X have IPS screen? It's kinda like comparing apple with orange there, you just can't compare the awesome viewing angle (170degree-ish?) on IPS screen with Super LCD.
[HTC Sensation] Hydroshock:
The screen to me seems washed out, but NOT in comparison to other LED panels, but rather the fact that I was using a galaxy s before and not used to a back light on my phone.

After using it a few days out it hasn't driven me nuts like it has, and I know the only phone that I may like the screen on is the galaxy s2, and that's just the deep blacks, and I prefer the cool color temp vs the warm I notice on this phone.
[HTC Sensation] swissman:
I had the same problems with the reboots. I've contacted HTC support and they advised to replace the phone as they don't have any fix for that yet.
[HTC Sensation] override182:
Washed out due to the 4.3inch factor.. desire S has the highest contrast for SCLD since its TINY. I feel colours are accurate on the sensation compared to desire s and incredible S
[HTC Sensation] wouwout:
I agree the screen gets washed out quickly due to narrow viewing angles. However besides this issue it's an excellent screen, both colours and resolution.

I haven't had any touch issues (not able to move the circle etc) after uninstalling laucher pro and other alternative launchers.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Is this lockscreen issue happening because of installing other launchers? Are you sure of that? There are people on this forum suffering from that.
[HTC Sensation] wouwout:
Yes, I had terrible touch and unlock issues, after moving back to sense and unnstalling it has been fine. For about a week now.
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Many HTC phones have the issue where there are Good/Bad screens, hope that is the only problem it has and hopefully no Bad Emmc Chips like on Current htc phones.
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
I have the Sensation and Galaxy S II here and head-on the difference isn't that huge.

Obviously the colours pop more on the AMOLED and the blacks are very deep, but to be honest I wasn't disappointed with the screen on the Sensation, its certainly sharper, which counts for a lot.

If you look from a tight angle the screen does look extremely washed out, but in real world use you probably are going to be looking at it head-on most of the time.

It could be worse on yours though and your phone could be faulty, so I'd get it replaced and see if the new one is an improvement.
[HTC Sensation] tenbeau:
I have experienced washed out screens with the HTC MT4G and after 4 I got one that was not washed out or had screen issues.If you check back in the MT4G thread you will see it was quite an issue and was widespread. I merely was attempting to see if others had the same issue or if it was just the way the screen is(head on fairly good, at an angle not good) so I could make an informed decision as to whether to just send it back or try one more. It appears(no offense intended) that you may be a fan boy who dislikes anyone bringing issues(or questions) to the forefront. I do not mean that to be offensive. I was not complaining but just gathering information concerning the screen so that I would not waste any of your Sensations. I am sure there will be more than enough to go around.
[HTC Sensation] Maedhros:
I find this extreamly hard to belive.

MANY PEOPLE who have the Desire S and the Inspire S have commented about how much worse the Screen on the Sensation is.

So then how can the SAMOLED screen not have a large difference when Comparing the Infuse (which has a crappier quality SAMOLED screen then the GS2) is a HUGE improvement over the Inspire 4g ?
[HTC Sensation] Robboftw:
You can believe what you like. There is no doubt that the SAMOLED screen is the best around (except maybe for the iPhone screen), but the Sensation screen is perfectly acceptable. The benefits of it are the extra resolution which is very noticeable in portrait operation and it is generally sharper and smaller text is much easier on the eye.

The Sensation has worse viewing angles than the non qHD SLCD screens, but head-on there is nothing wrong with it at all. I don't think most people are going to be too concerned about what the screen looks like at a fairly harsh angle. I'm certainly not. If you are, you want AMOLED.
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
Actually, I find the viewing angles really strange on this phone. I find that in some cases the screen actally performs better slightly off from a perpendicular angle.

For example, when viewing video in landscape on HTC watch. Dead on, the contrast is not great in dark scenes and detail is hard to make out (particularly in faces), but rotated a couple of degrees up or down is much better. I find that lowering the backlight (or using auto-backlight) makes things better for landscape video - note that the battery saver feature likes to disable auto brightness and neglects to re-enable it (i would not be surprised if this is to blame for many people reporting washed out colours, due to backlight being stuck at full power)

I'm not saying the screen is bad - it most certainly is not - but the incredible s has much better (but lower res) screen viewing angles. However, compared to the UK Desire HD screen (which is stardard lcd), the sensation screen is infinitely better.
[HTC Sensation] mysterioustko:
What he said is absolutely correct. There is not much difference. If you compare them side by side you will see what he means. But yes he is correct.
[HTC Sensation] freethinking:
I've had a MyTouch 4g with the crappy Sharp screen and a Mytouch 4G with the superb Sony screen. The Sensation screen, as far as viewing angles go, is between the two. It's a good screen, but not as good as they Sony screen in the MyTouch. The G2X has better angles and better colors (the G2X is actually a very nice screen, save for uniform black levels) but the Sensation has uniform blacks! I returned my G2X because of the light bleed and so far I'm very pleased with the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] feralicious:
Maybe the Sensation having a higher resolution balances out the viewing angle. Here's something I just read earlier today in the engadget review of the Sensation:

In our review of the Galaxy S II, we opined that though its display was of superlative quality, its pixel density left a little something to be desired. The Sensation gives us that extra flourish with a 960 x 540 resolution (35 percent more pixels than on Samsung's 800 x 480 panel) on a Super LCD screen that fails to match the vivid output or viewing angles of its Super AMOLED Plus competitor, but at least maintains a similarly hyperbolic naming scheme. There are two significant advantages to moving up to qHD resolution. The first and most tangible is that you get more of everything: Gmail displays more missives, the browser fits more of your favorite blog's content at a time, the calendar includes more agenda items, and you get to see more of your contacts without having to scroll (11 on the Sensation versus 9 on the WVGA Incredible S screen). Additionally, though the user interface sticks to the standard 16 grid slots for your icons and widgets, having them all in higher resolution lends an extra layer of visual polish, if nothing else. The camera and gallery apps benefit from having more dots to display your compositions and resulting images.

...

In terms of the Sensation's output quality, it merits noting that in spite of its 4.3-inch display bearing the same branding as the 4- and 3.7-inch ones on the Incredible S and Desire S, it is not up to the same standard. Viewing angles are the first giveaway, as they're nowhere near as expansive on the Sensation. At 45 degrees away from center, the Sensation's picture washes out, whereas the Incredible S maintains color fidelity until laid almost flat. Additionally, the smaller handset is brighter and better saturated than its newcomer buddy. None of this is to say that HTC has installed a poor LCD on the Sensation, we'd just refrain from calling it a Super one. As to our running tally against the Galaxy S II, the Sensation wins out on resolution, but loses by a big margin when it comes to quality and the sheer feeling of luxury that the GSII provides.

Real World Performance is What Really Matters But This is Still Surprising. Asus just needs to fix typing and browser lags and all is gravy for me. Oh Also Samsung 10.1 Doesn't have 3.1 yet so that might boost its quadrant scores.

Pretty sure the 10.1 is now shipping with (or being upgraded to) 3.1

[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
That's not fair to mention at all, since TF101 ALL benchmarks went down not up after 3.1 update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ericc191:
I hope someone can figure out why it's getting such poor performance results. What makes this really odd is that most reviews site its snappy performance when web browsing and its ability to play back 1080p movies very well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spawndk:
nothing odd about it - simulated benchmarks are useless because they can never properly simulate real world usage or properly simulate the differences in hardware and software on the devices being benchmarked.

For instance 1080p video playback has absolutely nothing todo with the instructions being simulated in benchmarks like these, videoplayback are handled by a hardware codec and the abilities of this codec has nothing todo with the rest of the cpu, or weather the cpu are 600mhz or 1.2ghz, single core or dual core etc.

Quadrant scores etc. tells nothing about how optimized the software on the device is - like how smooth the device feels in normal operations. Example, the same device will score the same quadrant score no matter which launcher is used, and no matter how smooth or how laggy this launcher operates when swiping homescreens. It will score the same result no matter how laggy a device may feel because of wrong memory management configuration and so on, it will score the same result no matter if the device has 512mb or 1gb ram, despite the device with 1gb will feel smoother in operations because it can store more open applications in ram. Etc. etc.

Quadrant score shows nothing except how good a device can run Quadrant, and this may differ depending on how Quadrant are optimised for the specific chipset/cpu.

It wont show anything else, it wont show how good the device can run specific games because this depends on the individual game and how this is optimised for the specific cpu/gpu, it wont show how smooth the device feels in general operation handling the gui or different applications because this depends on so many other things which cant be simulated, it wont show how good it can handle different video because this also depends on other things which cant be simulated.

Quadrant scores and other test scores like it are good for only one thing

They are tools for "big boys" that needs to compare "**** sizes"

- but since you cant go around showing pictures of your ****, you can allways show a screenshot of a quadrant score and go "mines bigger than yours" ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jhanford:
Great description of Quadrant. There's a t-shirt in there somewhere ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
Quadrant Envy? :D

Honestly the benchmarks results are the more relevant part of that review. Obviously that review was either paid for or the writer is devout samsung fanboy. I'm not going to to defend the benchmarks(which do have value), however to write a review where the reviewed device loses is almost every category and then summarize that the benchamrks you yourself chose to run are meaningless and that the reviewed device is obviously superior to the other devices is amazing. Rings of many ipad reviews.

[XPERIA X10 General] coverup:
Just wanted to post a notice of success story of getting SEUS and Flashtool working under Ubuntu 11.04 with Virtualbox installed from the repository running Windows XP. This means that it IS possible to use both of these tools just fine under Linux (with Windows running as a guest). Looking around the web a few weeks ago led me to believe that it couldn't be done, as some people (Mac users IIRC) were having issues getting Virtualbox to properly handle the X10 when it is in flash mode. Here are the steps that worked for me:

1. Install Virtualbox from Ubuntu Software Center

2. Create a Windows XP virtual machine and install Windows

3. Add your username to the group "vboxusers" in Ubuntu (this will allow the VM to use USB devices) and reboot to apply the change.

4. Create a blank filter under USB in the settings of the main Virtualbox menu so that all USB devices can be picked up automatically.

5. Run SEUS and check for updates, first time doesn't work because it installs the drivers for flash mode, second time worked fine for me.

6. Use Flashtool, etc. as you like - fully functional.

It was just nice to realize I didn't have to look around for a Windows machine to borrow for the amount of time it takes to test out different basebands and custom ROMs/kernels, so I thought I would share here.:D
