[Galaxy S I9000 General] Coolgreek:
Just a new (and maybe last feedback from me on JVP) about battery drain on JVP (i will upgrade to JVQ):

I still seem to have the battery drain issue with custom rom Juwe 5.0 (JVP base). First custom JVP was criskelo's rom (with drain present too)! I have not tested stock JVP though so i can not be sure if stock JVP has the same behaviour...

Edit: I have to admit though the battery drain does

appear rarely

on JVP (as i explain it is partially fixed at 2.3.4 roms)

What is the battery drain:

Cpu is working permanently on 800mhz and thus consuming much more battery (thats the drain, cpu working at high speeds although it should not).

What is causing the drain?

Could be a lot of reasons, wifi and surfing at heavy pages for a long period of time can make it appear easier. Maybe it has to do with cpu reaching high temperatures, maybe wifi, maybe the useless "update service" or maybe all of those (and some more)...

What to do:

At JVP 2.3.4 the drain is

partially fixed

! That means that it may appear (reason still there?) but as i have seen (and tested myself) if you unlock the phone and just lock it again the cpu returns to normal state (deep sleep) by itself (not like in 2.3.3 roms that you had to reboot the phone)! That easily, meaning the process that makes it happen (update service as many 2.3.3 users reported? Or some other processes?) just gets back to normal ! Of course if the drain occurs and you do not know about it it could eat most of your battery (like at 2.3.3 roms)!

I hope this helps a bit people having it and also to help get it (fully and not partially) fixed!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Coolgreek:
Just to close this subject:

I had Juwe 5.0 based on JVP and i did see the battery drain occur!

However since i moved to Juwe 5.1 JVQ (i flashed no wipe) I HAVENT SEEN ANY BATTERY DRAIN! And i did try to make it happen (fortunately it didn't).

So it seems (personal observation, i hope more members can confirm this) that finally we have battery drain FULLY fixed on JVQ!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dimke_yu:
Hi all i too have battery drain issues with my Galaxy S, tried Darky 10.1, Milkys ROM few kernels and modems and everytime i got half day of battery use. I tried every possible solution i found on internet including from xda forums and none of them helped. In my case i dont have any app that is responsible for drain however my problem is that uptime and awake time are almost same. This is because my phone reception is somewhere good and somewhere bad. 3G is disabled. Phone is constatly looking for signal and thus cannot go in sleep when display shut of. I tried with airplane mode and even without sim card and everything is same.

If anyone has solution please let me know because im everyday thinkig of changing Galaxy for iPhone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
Use jpy 2.2.1 firmware.. that is what I am using in my 2 Sgs phones. No drain, 2-3 days of battery depending on use. The drain bug Is a Google bug in gingerbread 2.3.x firmwares. Not much new in gingerbread over froyo anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
no drain for me since jve
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dimke_yu:
Thanks for answers i will try suggested ROMs... I tried JVQ modem last time and it improved a little bit but i will see it is long and painfull process to test every rom, kernel and modem.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gaegin:
I solved the android os drain on my Galaxy S 2.3.3 JVO after a double hard reset, without changing official rom or kernel. I only did a factory reset from internal menu and a double wipe cache and data from recovery mode. Now it's more than a month that the bug no longer occurs

I haven't seen anything posted anywhere is a while about the Galaxy S GPS issue and wondering if people are still having issues? I can not get any signal at all with the GPS (get maybe 2 satellites buddy on Verizon with a HTC gets his in 2 seconds) and have tried all the fixes out there. Is there one I'm overlooking or did people just give up on trying to fix it? I was also wondering if it was a phone issue with just my phone, and if I should take it back to T-Mobile to get a replacement (just got the phone 3 days ago).

I'm on 2.2.1, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mad_fitter:
No complaints here. With custom roms and even stock I haven't had any issues.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elinca247:
I had the same issue . it seems that it is a hardware issue. search the vibrant thread for GPS super fix. the copper contact in the phone has a poor contact with the gps antenna . simple fix . I than used GPS aids to rebuild the gps data folder and bam awesome results.

found it here.

Thanks, looks like it would void the warranty? Plus I'm not that skilled at taking apart my stuff like that ha... I'll check into it though.

Not up on flashing and all that, do I have to root my phone first to use that GPS aids?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] elinca247:
Yes to use GPS aids the phone needs to be rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] r3dreck:
What is rooting? Is it safe?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
It most likely is the hardware issue. If I were you, it sounds like you just got the phone? I would exchange it.

It is a known issue with these phones. (sucks I know) but it only happened with my vibrant, not my sgs 4g yet......

Anyways, the hardware fix would technically void warrenty. But the good people at Samsung decided not to put any void stickers on the case of the device. So, unless you really messed something up when you did the hardware fix they would really never know....

:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] r3dreck:
I took it into T-Mobile and the guy factory reset it, seems to work well now? I noticed that quite a few things look very different like the Market and the Settings, think maybe I had a mix of some kinda old and new system which was screwing things up? Either way if it does it again the guy said he would replace the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chillipeper:
Hi all...I hope someone can help with my problem.

Background: After my stock phone 'crashed' last week I have spent a few days on the forum's and have learnt how to fix it.... First I created a goldcard and recovered the device using a stock WWE ROM (updated device using the PB.zip method). This all seemed fine, so then decided to use enrevoked3 to root....this went fine and I ended up with rooted version of a stock WWE ROM (I think?). It wasn’t until I decided to install a custom ROM (starting with a backup) that I found I couldn’t download anything from the app market!

I thought it was unrevoked that had caused the problem so re-flashed the WWE ROM, but found I still had the same issue (an no longer a rooted device ).

After researching on the forums it looks like I’m missing the gtalk.apk which is used by the app store (does this mean the WWE ROM I have is not up to date or complete?) However, this isnt so much of a problem if you reinstall the gtalkservices.apk, but after trying 3 different apk files from 3 different threads on this subject I still am unable to download anything from the app store (the apk's wont install and just come up with an error - 'application wont install' - also I tried this on the phone when it was rooted and after I reflashed back to the WWE ROM)

Can anyone suggest how I fix this?? I dont have a stock ROM that I can flash back to and I didnt have a backup of my original ROM as I hadn't expected to need it (as before last week my phone was 02 stock).

As a thought I wonder if I re-root with unrevoked and then installed a custom ROM (not the WWE ROM I currently have, something like Cyanogen or Miui) that maybe this would solve the problem assuming the custom ROM I installed included all the relevant gtalk apk’s etc??

I have tried to find the solution without posting another thread, but none of the other threads I have read seem to cover the same issue (most of the solutions are either re-flash your previos ROM, which I cant do, or install the apk, which doesnt seem to work..)

any and all help much appreciated

Hi,

the stock kernel has native support for CIFS, but obviously i can't see unicode text (in Greek to be more specific), i compiled the nls_utf8 form source, i have loaded correctly (both cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko) via insmod, but i can't see the folders with Greek characters.., what am i missing ? :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
I had no problem with greek support with the stock rom (and kernel of course) and i still have full support with the B160 i installed a few weeks ago.

If you dont find a solution i would recommend moving to the B160 with the overclock kernel from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059753

Works like a charm for me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] papatsonis:
you had CIFS manager installed and in the mount-ed folder you could see the greek chars from pc's folder? i might revert to B135-stock rom again to check... but as i used the stock .config from B135, i can't see why it didn't work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ardeloth:
Ok after a recheck i have the same problem through CIFS. The thing is i also accessed the same machine from the "network" tab of file expert to test it and it worked like a charm (with full greek character support).

Maybe thats the method i remember from the previous rom as well. Sorry for the mislead.

Recently noticed on my HTC Wildfire S that it sometimes doesn't wake up with the power button.

If I press the power button, it should wake up and show the lockscreen. Mine occassionally will take forever - and this also happens with my girlfriend's Wildfire S.

Have tried rebooting the phone to clear the memory, but that doesn't help.

Vodafone think I should try updating the firmware but the Wildfire S is not available on the UK HTC website...... :confused: help!!

Both phones are running:

If you have installed market applications, move them to SD card..well the ones which can be moved

There is also several task killers available on the market which allow to set a scheduled autokill. This will kill running applications and keep your running memory optimized. Advanced Task Killer will allow you to create an 'Ignore list' for the autokill feature.

[HTC Inspire 4G] adrian.lupas:
Fast and brief.

I want to buy a new, unlocked, HTC Inspire 4G.

I'm a noob, and don't know anything about rooting, Android, or whathaveyou, but am keen to learn and am not an idiot.

Should i buy a phone that's already rooted running on Inspired Ace or just buy a stock phone and root it myself and flash a custom ROM of my choosing?

In other words, can i, being a noob, handle rooting an Inspire and flasing a ROM all by my lonesome? What's the LATEST and BEST guide on rooting and everything else you need to get it working? I've seen a lot of literature with (outdated) near it and it's kind of annoying.

Another even stupider question. Since the phone is already rooted, i can, if i want to, flash another custom ROM if i don't like Inspired Ace without seriously f-ing it up, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DiamondJay20:
welcome to my world as of last week. This week, I've learned that rooting is easy on the Inspire 4G. You just have to get the hack kit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352 And I'm gonna quote attn1: READ THE EFFEN MANUAL.

I cannot stress that enough.

Once you've done all of this, you'll have a rooted Inspire 4G, but it will be on the Desire HD radio/ROM, and you'll need to flash an Inspire 4G radio, so you can have a solid base.

Go by http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042 to get a rooted Inspire 4G radio/Rom base with the latest HTC update. Then make sure you download ROM Manager, and from there you can backup your rom, and try out custom ROMs.

If you wanna watch how I did it, go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14618851#post14618851.

Get rooted in something Inspiring!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Mornin

1 IMHO, I'd get a new one so you have a clean, fresh slate to work with. You don't ever truly know how the previous owner used the device(excessive OC level on a regular basis...)

2 Yes, it's very simple. I feel it's best to get your contacts imported from the sim then sync w/Google but nothing more. This way you don't have to reconfigure your phone after rooting.

3 The Ace Hack Kit from att1 is the easiest and best way. Any other method is based on his work. All the info you need is in the first post. If you have an issue, search the thread. If a concise answer cannot be found, search the forum. If still no answer, post your question in that thread, then be patient and wait for a reply. If no one can answer, at the very bottom of the first post, att1 has a link to an IRC chat channel for helping w/ issues, try there.

4 Yes. The number one rule for flashing is ALWAYS make a nandroid(basically an exact image before any changes have been made) before doing anything. This is your safety net and gives you something to fall back on should there be an issue post flash.

[HTC Inspire 4G] adrian.lupas:
okay, so buy a new one. Check. Root using kit and read manual. Check. After i root, which comes first? A new radio or a new rom, or what order do you use? Can you recommend as advanced users, the most stable custom rom and radio for the inspire? This is where i usually get confused. What to do after rooting, in what order.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DiamondJay20:
After you root, your phone will say "HTC Desire HD" in phone information. before you install a custom ROM, install this: http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/Ace_Cingular_US_SL_1.84.502.11_Radio_26_06_06_30_M_PD98IMG.zip (from thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042) . This is both a ROM and a radio, and it will give you the most up to date stock rom for the Inspire 4G (not Desire HD), but still rooted with sideloading allowed. From there, download two apps: titanium backup (to backup apps), and most importantly, ROM Manager. ROM manager has links to download many different ROMS, but before it prompts installing them, it also gives you the option of backing up your current ROM and wiping data cache, and then loading the new ROM. The link I gave u will be your base ROM.

The most popular custom ROM tends to be CyanogenMod7. I've tried that, CoreDroid 6.6, and most recently, TB Fusion 1.1.8.3. If you like HTC Sense, go with the latter two, or other Sense ROMs. If you don't like Sense or don't care about Sense, go with something like CM7.

Always remember something here: Desire HD and Inspire 4G are largely the same phone, save a few things. Most custom ROMS are optimized for the HD, but hopefully that will change soon.
[HTC Inspire 4G] adrian.lupas:
Okay. Thanks. So root, install base radio and ROM, then install backup and ROM manager and then install custom ROM.

I see that the custom ROM is Cingular_US. I live in Romania and will be using the phone in Orange Romania. That's not a problem, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
No it wont be a problem. One note though. I don't know if you already knew this when you bought/buy the phone but the inspire uses north American bands for 3g(850/1900) you will not be able to use your 3g service as it runs on 2100. If 3g service is important and haven't bought the phone I would suggest you get the desire HD as it runs (900/2100) for 3g
[HTC Inspire 4G] adrian.lupas:
How do i find out what frequencies Orange Romania works on?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Orange Romania runs 3g on (900/2100)

[Q] What happens when I do a "Reset to factory settings" on my o2x that is using a CR

Hi All,

What happens when one does a factory reset on the o2x when it is rooted + using a custom firmware?

I'm currently using the MCR fr17 Fear Kill Edition. What happens when I perform a Factory Reset in recovery?

The reason I'm asking is because I managed to find some fixes for the battery drain issue for o2x but it requires us to do a factory reset. Not sure if it works but I wanna try it.

Battery life on the o2x is extremely lousy :( Unhappy with it.
[LG Optimus 2x] williemeiser:
Can u tell me how to fix the battery drainage? Coz ive done everything,even going back to stock using nvflash..
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It should work.

If it doesn't then you can wipe by manually booting into recovery and wiping.
[LG Optimus 2x] kelvin_tan:
Rusty,

My main question was what would happen if I restore to factory settings? What should I expect the next time I boot my o2x?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Not a lot.

An empty phone. You'll get the setup wizard where you're prompted to enter your Google account details etc.
[LG Optimus 2x] kelvin_tan:
Will my phone still have root access and MCR or I start from stock? Thanks :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It will be the ROM you have now, only empty, and it will still have root as that's part of the ROM.

Thank you so much rusty .. appreciate it a lot.. You've seriously been a great help and I take my hat off to you :)
[LG Optimus 2x] kelvin_tan:
@Williemeiser

One post I found online (forgot link sorry) requires us to totally drain out the battery, perform a reset to factory settings, fully charge it for 8 hours and then only proceed to use it.

He showed us the historical battery usage before and after.. it looks good. But whether does it work, another issue. Testing it now.

So here's what happened:

I just got my hTC HD7, it had some juice alredy so I played around with it, when the battery got empty, I charged it. But my plug has a on/off switcher. I tripped over it and turned it off. This was the first time I charged the phone. What shall I do? I put the phone back in the box. Shall I get a new battery or charge the phone again? HHHEEELLLPPP!!!!
[HD7 Accessories] Shadowise:
Just leave it to charge? Accidentally turning off the charger while the phone is charging doesn't do it any damage. I knock the plug loose all the time.
[HD7 Accessories] creamy:
A full charge for the first time can be interruped without issue, lithium-ion batterys do not carry a charge memory unlike older handsets where you did have to give a full charge from the outset.

To get the best life from your battery or spares try to do the following:

Try to keep the handset out of any heated environment (eg; a car on a sunny day with windows closed) as this could stress the battery and decrease the charge life.

Do not use another charger that could stress the battery with over voltage (keeping it plugged in after full charge with the regular charger will not affect the battery) the battery will degrage however if it were allowed to exceed the 4.20V/cell limit.

If storing a spare battery for an extended period of time it is recommended that the charge level is around 40% for optimum lifespan.

Hope this helps,

Creamy
