Hi.

I noticed that my Fancy Widget and other clock-widgets doesnt update anymore when i open apps, documents or other services. Example:

Clock shows 19:21, Widgets shows 19:21. As long as my phone stays on one of the 5 homescreens, the time updates as usual. But when i open an app (browser, mail, gallery, or any other app) or game and return to my homescreen i can see the time didnt update since i opened the app or game. Lets say i open my browser 19:22, i visit some websites, and switch back to my homescreen 5 minutes later (19:27), the widget didnt update the time within these 5 minutes. When i stay on the homescreen and wait for next minute, the widget updates the time correct.

Whats wrong?

I dont have any task-killers installed. I have 2.3.3 rooted. I didnt remove any bloatware.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
I take it you haven't moved the app to the SD either?
[Xperia Play General] Montechristo1979:
What app you mean? Widgets cant be moved to SD, because they wont work when placed on SD.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Are you using SE launcher or a 3rd party one? Try installing https://market.android.com/details?id=com.th.android.widget.gTabsimiClock&feature=search_result and see if its the same. I am using that clock/weather/battery widget with no problems.
[Xperia Play General] Montechristo1979:
I am using SE Launcher again. I used ADW Launcher EX, but got to many errors, so i went back to my stock SE Launcher.

Edit: I tried simiClock, it happens too. It doesnt matter what clock-widget i am using. It doesnt refresh/update when apps/games are running and i switch back to the homescreen.
[Xperia Play General] dsswoosh:
Most clocks do not update if you have moved them to the SD card.

Make sure it is installed on the phone.
[Xperia Play General] dassub:
My stock weather widget never updates the location in the background, only when launching it manually will it update on the home screen.
[Xperia Play General] Montechristo1979:
@dsswoosh

As i posted just before....clocks/widgets dont work at all when moved to SD. I install all my widgets on the phone!!
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
You mean Go launcher ex? try launcher pro, i have tried Go launcher ex, Adw and launcher pro and cannot seem to replicate the problems you are describing, also not had any errors or force closes on any. Do the clock widgets that come with SE launcher do the same? or just 3rd party clock widgets you install? If the stock clocks dont work then maybe reinstalling the fw will fix it.
[Xperia Play General] Montechristo1979:
I tried ADW Launcher EX again (yes, its ADW EX ;)). Time updates in the background as it should. It seems that its only an SE-Launcher issue. Can someone try?

Maybe it is always like this and i never noticed this before while using the stock SE Launcher?! I think i can live with it, but maybe there is a way to fix it without using a different launcher?
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Indeed your right its ADW Launcher EX :p ive always just called it adw. Well using the stock SE launcher my clock widgets update in the background so im guessing its a problem with your SE launcher. Possibly reinstalling the fw will fix the SE launchers bug? Worth a try i suppose.
[Xperia Play General] bloomer2011:
I've been experiencing this on my Xperia Arc too. It has nothing to do with launchers or task killers in my case (I use neither). I have been able to reproduce it three times:

1. after a week using my Arc, I noticed a new clock widget wasn't updating except when foregrounded, and not until the next minute ticked over. I also noticed a weather widget wouldn't update reliably.

2. after two months without a solution, i completely reset the phone. All good. While playing a game, I received a call. Afterwards, the above widget types wouldn't refresh except as above.

I deleted an unrelated widget because I didn't need it, and (perhaps coincidentally) the other widgets started refreshing properly.

3. a week later, I received a call while using the calendar app. Widgets no longer refresh, except as above. I haven't been able to find a fix this time. Tested widgets like the stock digital clock shows the same problem.

So for me it looks like the common thread is an incoming call while using an app. I would guess this must be happening to a few other people, as it's the same symptoms as the OP described.
[Xperia Play General] smartmale2006:
If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..

Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..

1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation

2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets

3. uninstall beautiful widgets..

Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem.. :D:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNoir:
Just noticed that for me, bluetooth audio to a Sony Ericsson MH100 headset will skip and drop out for periods as WiFi is active in connecting/disconnection to a network, or actively transferring data.

- Tried PowerAMP with various buffer settings, but audio cuts out instantly when activating WiFi, so audio buffer doesn't even have time to run out, and music is still progressing within the played track as the audio cuts out.

- Tried Samsung Music player, still same issue.

This can happen in some phones/cases and is not uncommon, but it never happened with my SGS1. Are the WiFi and Bluetooth functions sharing the antenna now, and weren't in the SGS1? Poorly written drivers for the Stock ROM in the SGS2 (I was using CM7 for a long period with my SGS1)?

Anyone else care to test this, maybe there are some details that makes this preventable, depending on how the phone connects to certain networks or such? Currently I don't have any other headphones to test, though I mildly doubt that will make a difference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3waygeek:
BT & WiFi both use the 2.4GHz band, so interference between them is not unusual. If you can, try a different WiFi channel; it's usually a setting on the WiFi router/access point.

I've read that the SGS2 supports the 5 GHZ WiFi band, so that may be an option. However, I just tried it on my SGS2, with my Netgear WNDR3700 router, which has both 2.4 & 5 GHz access points. The SGS2 couldn't see the 5 GHz network, but works just fine with the 2.4 GHz network.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
They use the same frequency, and many phones share the same antenna for Bluetooth and wifi too. My Nokia n95 would stutter Bluetooth music when I used wifi to load pages, due to throughput constraints I assumed at the time. Looks like this is still the case with phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNoir:
Thanks for the reply, when you say that it works fine on the 2.4GHz band, it doesn't interfere with bluetooth audio for you when using WiFi? That's hopeful, I just hoped it wasn't a 100% limitation with the phone, that it constantly has to switch between either bluetooth audio or WiFi activity.

So lately I've been getting some odd stuff popping up in my sd card and I have no clue where they are coming from! :eek:

For example, within these past few days I've been getting videos in my sd card under the folder location of "Jlive Camera" and I don't have any apps called jlive nor do I have any random camera apps watching people. They only come up as temp files as well which is a little concerning. I haven't the slightest clue where they are coming from but I would like to know because I want to harness this unknown surveillance power for my own evil plans. :cool:

Well, there was a new plankton virus discovered in the market recently and it downloads .jar files to an infected phone.... I should know... Sparky downloaded it and I had to clean it up..... :mad:

Bad answer, gtfo my thread!

Possibly, but it's a .mp4 file, not a .jar.

Right but it somehow uses/needs the .jar files to download other crap and send stuff from your phone. I'm no engineer or coder but it's related somehow....

What did he download to get that virus? AND what were the videos of on his?

-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
A bunch of useless crap. :p However, on a serious note...I believe it was Angry Birds Rio Unlocker that was the culprit. (you are supposed to, be rooted to use an, unlocker app...)of course Sparky has no clue what "root" is and downloaded it. (I have a feeling he downloaded the first one he saw). Unfortunately for you I didn't play any of the files. They were in a temp folder one was jliive and there was another I think. I wiped his phone and formatted his card cuz I'm not taking any chances on his stupidity....

I didn't write that. ;) Prove it!!!
[Off-topic] twitch351:
What kind of crap to be specific?

But I haven't downloaded anything stupid like that. Hmm, so the only way you got rid of it was through complete wipes?

-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
The angry birds app for one...

I did a complete wipe for TWO reasons 1) It's Sparky. He did something stupid let him learn not to randomly download sh1t 2) I don't wanna take chances on this virus "phoning home" and costing me money

I didn't write that. ;) Prove it!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Hei guys, I'm really, really new to this.

I've just flash andy's port of CM7 based on 2.3.4. I'm having a really though time with the battery, it goes down 50% faster than on my previous 2.2.2 official Froyo from LG.

Anyway, this question is about overclocking.

So, inside CM7 settings there's this "Performance" menu, in which you can go to "CPU", I've set there smartass governor, minimum 122 and maximum 768.

What does that mean? Does that mean I'm overclocking my CPU? Does it mean that smartass will allow or push the CPU to 768 when it's needed? Do I need to do something else in order to achieve that? (i.e - use get the CPU at 122 while screen off and increase it according to demand up to 768). - that's what I'm after.

Any response on the topic(s) much appreciated.

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sholimar:
Regarding battery - calibrate it with the app from the market

Regarding OC - yes, when you'll use the phone your cpu will run at 768 mhz (note that you might get kernel panics). Your minimum speed is pretty low and it will take a little longer to get to 768... you will see some skips or lags.

Oh, and yes! :D You're overclocking and smartass will do what you're looking for (idle-122/in-use-768).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lawful123:
I would kick the min up to 480. That usually gives you a good balance.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Thanks for the fast response.

As for the battery, I tried calibrating it and still the same.

I'm reporting 10% (exactly) each 2 hours, in idle, screen off, everything turned off except mobile data on EDGE.

At this rate, the phone goes dry in exactly 20 hours with minimal to no use. This isn't normal.

It heats up when charging (more than usual).

In battery stats I have all the four ones (android system, cell, etc.) at 25%.

No apps installed.

Just a few hours ago I tried replacing the stock kernel of andy's with the latest from franco (16) and zram.

Exactly the same.

I don't know what else to do, I already reflashed it twice. Same results. I can't post to the development forum just yet (not enough posts).

I guess I'll just go ahead and try mik's port... although I wouldn't want to, I love this one, everything works perfectly except the battery thing.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] soberspine:
Did you use google maps?

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
i think smartass does automatically change your cpu's frequency when you need it..but your minimum frequency is too low..change it to 320 Mhz....and are you using 3g all time..??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Yes, used google maps but killed it. Second reflash didn't even install it and still the same problem.

No, I didn't use 3g at all.

I only kept mobile data active on EDGE. and as I said, it was in idle. it's like the phone was used 24/7 even in idle.

and why is my cpu to low? the phone works like a charm with that frequency.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
Check the 2 g networks only box in settings-networks- mobile networks....that may be the reason
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
It's checked alright. Like I said, I used it on the EDGE (2G) networks.

Anyway this doesn't matter anymore since I've switched to mik's rom.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
you can give void# forever a try too...gives me two days battery life on moderate use...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
Okay, I will.

Does anyone know how to get the qriocity app released yesterday on the x10 mini ?

Is it possible to hide the security pattern used to unlock the Evo (and I assume other HTC phones) when you input the wrong pattern?

I've hidden it when I input the correct pattern but it still shows up in a red line if I input the incorrect pattern. The problem is that if I put in the wrong pattern it is usually close enough to the correct pattern that somebody could guess the correct one if they really wanted to.

Does anybody know if this is possible?

i just got my atrix which happened top be rooted and aparently has gingerblur which i dont like to much

can i do a master restore and not worry about it getting bricked?

sorry if this is a newb question but this is my first android device
[Atrix 4G General] Tao_Man:
Short answer is Yes it is safe.

you can flash a sbf file and be back to stock, there is a lot of info on this board on how to flash an sbf so you should be able to find it pretty easily.

So you wont brick your phone if you follow the directions but you will lose root and sideloading, if you want those you can look into GingerBreak and GladEnable, also on this board to re do those after flashing back to stock

check out this thread for the sbf file you will need

so far.. the only problem I found is in the settings menu it looks like the graphics options are formated for a larger screen.. just that last quality slider which is at full by default.. and doesn't seem to slow down the g2x at all...

ARESOME

pretty cool game tho, nice graphics
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JonEk@t:
Just finished my install. Got to the title screen and my phone completely froze up. I launched the game again after a battery pull and got into the menus. Brightness and graphic settings go off-screen. Has anybody else noticed the big black square at the start of the campaign? Looks like a bug or driver issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
When I launch the game it freezes for a second or two but the music still plays. does it resume soon after for you? I just started a new campaign to check on the black box but didn't see anything. if you're on the stock rom, the screen shot still works. can you grab a shot of it?
