gummy charged 1.5

I absolutely love the way this rom feels, but I did uninstall it to stock ee4 only because i was having trouble syncing my gmail. there is a simple fix, but you have to do it manually and i haven't fully tried it yet.

adb pull /data/system/sync/android.xml ./android.xml

open the file and mess with where it says "com.android.calendar" and switch it to say just "calendar"

then push the file back when you're done. you should make a backup of this file before you do it.

OR, you could trying pulling this file BEFORE you root and switch to gummycharge. and then push it back in once you see the error with the sync.

i would suggest the latter, but again, i haven't tried either method yet.

let me know what it goes for some of you.

meanwhile, greatjob kejar, looking forward to soft-bricking my phone with many of your new versions of gummy in the future. i am willing to test any beta's you're willing to put out :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] sarends:
I have been planning on installing this ROM for about a week now - this is the 1st I have read of the issue syncing GMAIL. This is a deal killer for me as I rely very heavily upon Google Apps sync in my business. Is the fix well documented somewhere?

Thx
[Verizon Droid Charge] dobo84:
Ok as far as the battery life Im a heavy user so I get about 5 hrs heavy use if its just normal casual use I can go all day...the video fix is in 1.5 and I have had no sd probelms. You have to keep in mind this is only version 1.5 so as kejar31 go's it will only get better.

If you don't try this rom you will never know if you truly like it!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] dobo84:
Oh and the case Is a incipio you can get them from verizon
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
With moderate use I've only been getting about 8-10 hours battery life. If I try not to use it hardly, I've gotten it up to 21 hours(like leaving it on while I sleep and then not much while I'm up). I'm on 3G, automatic screen, 15 sec screen hibernate. I had apps updating more frequently and 1 minute/30 sec screen hibernate the first couple days I had the phone, and was only getting about 6-7 hours.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
Yes, yes it is :P
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
I haven't heard anything about it either! I am also very dependent on Google apps. If you decide to give Gummy a try and have this issue sarends, let me know and I will help but I doubt you will.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ColonelSeitan:
I was surprised to see that too cause I read your entire gummycharged thread and didnt see any mentions of the gmail issue
[Verizon Droid Charge] dobo84:
I have had no issue with gmail and I have been on this r for several days. Most probelms don't really stem from the rom but from the install process and or missed steps
[Verizon Droid Charge] DeathWalking:
Which screen protector are you using?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dobo84:

No gmail problems here.... no problems at all! This rom with pbj kernel is a killer combination. Prolly the best out there.
[Android Apps and Games] tucci999:
So I believe this is the right place to post this.

I'm looking for an app that can save/sync games across devices. I lost my one phone and I had purchased some credits to support the game and when I lost is I lost all of the credits and I am playing a long RPG but there are times when I wish I could play it on my tablet instead of on my phone, but i dont want to play through it twice at the same time.

Does anyone know if there is an app that will allow me to back up and sync my application information across devices using something like drop box?
[Android Apps and Games] noonereallycares:
Titanium Backup does exactly that.
[Android Apps and Games] tucci999:
how does one do that, I'm trying to get a copy of spectral souls from my transformer over to my nexus S 4g, so i can be slightly more mobile and play?
[Android Apps and Games] NZtechfreak:
I'm sure there is a more elegant way, but what I did to transfer my Battleheart save game to the phone was copy the TB properties and tar files for Battleheart from my Tab to my phone, then rename them so the filenames matched the phone app data filenames and replaced the phone's ones with them. I did this because both devices are currently in use, obviously between new devices you can just use TB like normal to restore the apps+data. Wouldn't be something I'd like to do a lot, I'm sure there must be a more elegant solution (probably TB does it natively and I just didn't see it...).
[Defy General] shibabz03:
im using uk froyo i know when i charge my phone the charging light supposed to light up.. but now when i connect my charger the charging light just won't turn on but my defy is charging... used another charger but the same senario... tried wiping cache/dalvik/battery stats still the same... is my defy broken or just my rom?
[Defy General] salingpusa:
As long as it is charging it is ok. Mine is like that
[Defy General] farsight73:
Mine also doesn't have that charging light since 2.1, 2.2 and now 2.3.

So it's like that since the beginning. Nothing should be worried about.

I think Quarx's custom rom has it working.
[Defy General] memz180:
Yes Quarx does having it working on the Cm7 RCO starts of from red then mixed and then green
[Defy General] kapilgreat:
Also on MIUI ROM charging light is there.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
I bought my Defy about 4 days ago, first thing I did was update to Stock Froyo (DE - Blur) and root.

I dont have lights either, the LEDs only blink sometimes... I installed Lightflow from the market and now I have all kind of colored LEDs hehe, checking out if it drains batt or not.
[Defy General] shibabz03:
yeah.. i thought uk froyo has the charging light.. i get mixed up.. thanks guys!
[Defy General] riobenny:
absolutely ROM.

thats not a problem actually.

at some ROM, u can see even the light always on while charging.

no big deal

Just saw a commercial where a guy was using maps and the image of the location he was viewing was in 3d type of images of the area...showing the buildings in 3d and the roads...any idea what this is?

Sent from my Asus Transformer Tab
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
Its probably google street view, or the new google maps. The google maps our transformer shows 3d buildings as well, just use 2 fingers and slide down to show them :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
Its google maps. If you are in maps and slide down with two fingers it goes into a "birds eye view" instead of an overhead. If you are in an area (major city) they mapped in 3d then it will show the buildings. Just google Empire State Building, when it comes up slide down with two fingers and enjoy.

If you are in a smaller city it might not be mapped. Atlanta, where I live, is in 3d in Atlanta proper but it looks like Kansas City (where I am from) isnt.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
That should read major North American city, haven't found any city outsite the USA that works yet :(

I've noticed several german cities are in 3D, try Hamburg or Berlin.

East or West? ;) Just messing with you, for half of my life (I'm 39) it was a divided city by der Berliner Mauer, part free, part unfree, and wholly within East Germany, I digress though :D

I wish they'd do 3D of mountains and not just manmade landmarks, it'd be cool to look at Mount Shasta, Mount Whitney or Mount Lassen in 3D.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick0823:
so you think they will be able to root gingerbread
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Yeah, development may slow down, but the Evo still has more development than most other devices. Despite developers moving to the 3D, there will still be development, and unless the bootloader is now encrypted (I know it has always been locked, I've heard that it's encrypted but I've also heard otherwise) we'll definitely see root for the new update. It may take some time, but it'll come.

If you know anyone with an Evo that doesn't care about rooting and hasn't installed the update, trade with them. You can activate the phones on your individual accounts, keep your number, and root right away.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Z51:
Just bought it at the vzw store. Vry good build quality. Fits the phone awesome and doesn't bulk it up too much. Just a heads up it's 20% off
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
Its a decent case but mine got sent back 5 minutes after I opened it. No cutout for the hdmi port.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Z51:
I noticed that as well. Since I don't use the hdmi port it didn't bother me
[Verizon Droid Charge] haza12d:
Loving this case. It does make the phone bulkier, but I have big hands so it works out for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
The feather case was just released as well. It still does not have a cutout for the hdmi port. They said it would compromise the protection the case gives the phone. I don't get it, if everyone else can include a cutout for the port why don't they? I am disappointed because I used the feather on my Atrix and I have never used a case I liked that much.
[Verizon Droid Charge] immaage:
Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I don't use the hdmi port enough to care that much, but I have been wanting a super thin/light case for awhile. Kinda pricey though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
love this case, but it's somewhat hard to get the hard cover over the rubbery inside layer. I've ripped mine already. I'm still able get the case to work ok, but just wanted to let anyone know who owns this case that you have to be careful with the soft layer.
[Verizon Droid Charge] moondrius:
I don't use it that much either but its a pain in the ass to remove when I do want to use it. There is no reason they can't make the cutout, every other case has it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Droid800:
I couldn't get mine on! The corners would scrunch up on the side I was putting in last, and it made it impossible to fit properly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kgbeezr1:
You have to work it on slowly while pulling the edges of the hard cover outward with your thumbnails (until your thumbnail hurts, then you're pulling hard enough). Loosening the hard cover before installing by gently pulling the sides outward for a couple minutes also helps.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xceebeex:
Does anyone have a link to this case on the Verizon site? I just went to the Verizon store and they said they don't carry the double cover for the Charge and I can't find it on their site either.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
I have one, got it with the phone when I bought the phone off someone. I don't like it at all, makes the phone heavy and bulky but its free and im not spending money on a case when I know I will be selling the Charge as soon as the Samsung Galaxy S2 is out.
[Wildfire General] ricky20:
Hi, what are the main differences between my branded vodafone wildfire and an unbranded one, is it just the vodafone splash screen or are there anymore. Just wanted to know because many people want to root there phones and install a new rom etc, thanks.

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-948231.html

I don't know what the bloatware is in carrier locked phones. Since mine is not a carrier locked one.

And some carriers even disable the installation from unknown sources. Maybe just to increase the data stream through their network. My opinion was never look at the little difference in price and never go for a carrier locked one.
[Wildfire General] ricky20:
Thanks for reply, my friend just got a unbranded wildfire and it's nice not to have all that branded stuff, feels more like it's your phone and not the carriers.
[Wildfire General] Phatmikey:
I have a Vodafone Wildfire. To me it seems that the only branding is just the little Vodafone splash at the end of the booting process. None of the apps or menus are Vodafone branded, everything else seems to be stock HTC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurkingdevil:
I'm having pretty bad battery drain using WiFi.

Here is a screenshot of juice plotter, have a look :

View attachment 623738

I'm currently on Continuum v5.6 . I was also having this problem on 5.4 and earlier on cognition.

I don't have any 3G or gprs. Just WiFi.

With WiFi on and connected I get bad battery drain(10% in 90 minutes) even when wifi is not in use and phone is sitting idle as you can see above.

When I turn WiFi off or WiFi on but not connected, I get essentially flat curves with a battery drain of like 1-2% an hour. What gives?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
I get fast battery drain just like you, with wifi on at home. My router is D-Link Dir-655. Some people say they get low battery usage with wifi turned on, so I'm beginning to think it's more to do with the router than the phone. I've had the problem from day one. My first phone developed the random shutdown issue and was replaced by AT&T. The second phone is just the same running down the battery fast when wifi is on. I have gotten in the habit of turning wifi off when I'm not using it. It's a pain, but I don't know anything else to do. I'm certainly not going to replace my router just because of it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurkingdevil:
I have that same exact router! DIR-655.

I saw another thread in the dlink forums where a guy had that same router and the same issue. Here : hxxp://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=38655.0 (replace xx by tt)

Here as well : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1087278

Though he solved it by removing some HP printer drivers that were polling the LAN constantly.

Most people recommend leaving WiFi sleep policy to never, but I get better battery when leaving it to sleep on screen off. But thats just because wifi turns off about 10 minutes after screen is off so push updates like instant messages/email stop working until the screen is turned on again. (No 3G here)

I have acquired another captivate which is running the stock rom. I'm gonna run some tests on it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurkingdevil:
The second captivate also does the same thing.

I can see a constant trickle of data from wifi using the OS Monitor App when not using the wifi and background data is set to off. Its something like 200 bytes every 3 seconds. Accordingy the wireless light on my router also keeps blinking, albeit at a significant slow rate..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krook1:
Can the timeout for "Turn wifi off when screen off" be reduced to a few seconds instead of minutes??

I have a Zyxel WAP and a SonicWall router/firewall. So its definitely not Dlink only.

I see the same pattern as lurkingdevil.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSoaresan:
I lose 5% in 10 mins with wifi on :( it sucks. It also depends on which apps are running in the background and which ones update like Facebook or email
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurkingdevil:
I feel you..

I have now turned on 3G and it doesnt burn battery like wifi.

In OS Monitor when using 3G there is a static tx/rx value unless I do something that requires data transfer .

On the other hand with wifi on, tx/rx keeps going up even with everything off, some data is always transfering between router and phone...

I think there is some setting in the router that is causing this..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSoaresan:
I love the whole android development game but I don't think I'm techsavvy enough to mess with my router, ill stay tuned nonetheless incase some brave soul experiments and gets results
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurrptsenate:
I just switched to continuum 5.6 last night, but was constantly charging while using wi-fi. Ill look into it tonight to see if it affects me in the same way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lurkingdevil:
Ok so I dived into my router settings.

Good news is that I managed to nearly fix this issue. I have a DIR-655 , D-Link has done a great job by making a firmware emulator here : http://support.dlink.com/Emulators/dir655/133NA/login.html

Login with user : admin pass: admin

From the tabs at top choose ADVANCED --> ADVANCED WIRELESS (left pane)

Now you will see a bunch of things that have some value set to them. Here I changed DTIM from 1 to 200 . After doing this, I set wifi sleep policy to never and kept my phone aside. Checking after an hour and I had lost only 1%.

Bad news is that push notifications have gone flaky, I dont know what exactly the DTIM thing does so I'm still researching it. You can click on the "More.." link on the right pane and there is some info on it.

EDIT: I switched DTIM back to 1 and push is still not working perfectly. Can you guys check this?

Set WiFi sleep policy to never and log in on gtalk from the phone. Then send yourself some messages via another google account and see if you hear the notification sound on the phone when the screen is turned off. You might hear it the first time but try sending a bunch of consecutive messages.

For me, I hear it sometimes, sometimes I don't, but if I turn on the screen right after sending the message(and not hearing the notification) I can see the message in the status bar at the lockscreen.

EDIT 2: During my previous tests, I was logged in from my account on the pc as well as the phone. Notifications seem to work much better if I'm just logged in from the phone.

Seeing that you already run a custom ROM means you probably already have a custom recovery.

Boot your hero while holding the home button (so you will be holding the home and endcall button). It will boot into custom recovery. Be sure to know your stuff and read guides, do nandroid backups etc and don't go bricking your phone
