I don't know about MIUI, but on CM7 I just tried flashing it on a stable version and got those problem. Later found out that it was for the nightlies. Maybe there is a older version of lordmod that will work for you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Why not go into the threads of the rom/kernel in question and see if perhaps this problem has already been encountered? It may be faster and provide solutions tailored to your needs.

I doubt you're the first person to have run into issues like this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] brd912:
Agreed. There's a recent thread here in the general forum,where someone explained that all phones handle things differently so even if someone tells you what they undervolted to on miui,it mite not work for you. Best bet is to play around with different settings to see what's gives you the best results

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] denimjunkie82:
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

I don't have 3g signal or wi-fi at work, but I do have a laptop connected to a network. I use this trick to create an ad-hoc wifi connection from my laptop to my phone in order to get data:

http://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/7785.aspx

I've been using this for a while, for both my Nexus One and Nexus S. On both phones, the battery drains significantly while connected via the ad-hoc connection. The phone idles at 200 or so miliamp/sec according to Current Widget, compared to 7 to 9 mili/amp/sec when idling on regular wifi.

Anyone know what causes this, and if there's a way around it? It seems like the phone is treating the adhoc connection differently than a regular wi-fi hotspot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gusar321:
On my Defy I actually have a notification when connected to ad-hoc that this has implications on power consumption. So it seems it's normal. As to why this is so, finding out would probably require reading about the low-level workings of wireless networks. I'd guess it's because the two devices connected this way need to stuff themselves, stuff that is normally handled by the access-point.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] denimjunkie82:
Thanks for confirming that it's just not me. I guess it's unavoidable. I wonder if the constant increased battery drain diminishes the life of the battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorocker:
So I tried to get my work to get me a blackberry because I need to check my work email when I am not there at nights, weekends, etc. They saw I had a thunderbolt but I tried explaining how the battery wouldn't last. Well that wasn't good enough so today I synched my works email (corporate gmail account) to my phone and I am getting the push notifications just like I wanted, and the battery is terrible just as I said it would be. Is there any way to adjust how often it checks for new mail to push notifications through? I feel like there has to be some way but I searched and found nothing for the thunderbolt. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Not sure if this would work for you, but you could go into your accounts & sync setting and uncheck the autoupdate for your google business account (since I don't have one, not sure if it will allow you separate out google accounts). Then only go in and manually sync it when you need it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorocker:
The only thing with that is I have to manually sync which defeats the purpose of it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
How much mail do you actually get pushed?

I get quite a bit of mail to my regular google account because I've tied all my other accounts to my google account and I don't have any real issue with extreme battery drain?

I had an android since the G1 first came out and with each successive phone I've gotten, I've never noticed that mail is a real big battery drain on any of them.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorocker:
I would say 15-20 mails a day. However one of our clients is west coast based so I tend to get a lot after I leave work. This is definitely a battery killer by multiple hours. I'm going to try my damndest to get a blackberry and show them how awful it is but I need something in the mean time to get me through the day. My phone didn't last 9-6 today
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorocker:
I can't believe something as simple as an interval adjustment isn't built into the gmail app. I searched all over and several people have asked this but there is never a solution. I wonder if I could use another email app that is adjustable instead of the official gmail app.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreemanB:
The easiest solution is to check one of the apps, such as Juice Defender, that can turn off your network connection when not in use. You can set them to periodically enable them to turn data back on to allow things like emails to come through.

And GMail push notifications act just like Blackberry-style push notifications of email. It isn't constantly checking the server for new emails. It gets notified only when new emails arrive. Something else is likely causing your battery problems, not the push notifications. I'd check some of the battery threads around for other tips to increase battery life before making any major changes.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
I've never heard of email being the culprit to any battery problems, so you might want to see if there are some rogue apps you have that are causing this battery drain.

As for email, I use Tasker. I have a profile that turns auto-sync on at 6:15 AM and every three hours after that at a quarter past, then I have a profile that turns auto-sync off at 6:17 AM and every three hours, so I only get email at a quarter past, every three hours ;)

Not sure how elegant of a solution this is for you as you work for a company and might have some emails that you need to respond to ASAP.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreemanB:
I use Tasker as well, with it checking only between 6:30am - midnight. However, I check mine every 20 minutes normally. If they need to get in touch with me faster than that, they should have called in the first place. I played with Juice Defender prior to discovering Tasker though, and it is much easier to set up.(Just not nearly as powerful as Tasker, which I love playing with)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
Push is more efficient than interval, that is why you don't see interval adjustments.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
Well as others have said, I don't think it's the emails causing your issues. I get way more emails than that in a day and my phone comes off charger around 5am and doesn't usually get back on a charger until at least 9pm or later. I'm not saying I still have half a charge left, but I also don't have my phone yelling at me to plug it in either because it's low.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotorocker:
Hmm good to know about how those push notifications work. I guess it's just a coincidence that when I synched my email a couple days ago that I noticed the battery went noticeably down. I might try out tasker though. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dnakaman:
It could have been also your signal strength when you were trying to sync that could have caused a bigger drain.

If you had a weak signal, your phone would have been trying to "juice" up the connection to keep you connected resulting in a larger than normal battery drain.

Just a thought.

When I run the app "4th & Mayor" it shuts down all the time, it works sometimes after 10 times...

are there any other people who have the same problem with this app? I'm a frequent Foursquare user and there is no alternative anymore...

I contacted the developer but he doesn't know what can be the problem. I think it's a problem of the dell venue pro and not of the application themself.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Try rebooting the phone after a battery pull or holding the power button to shut down and holding it again to restart.

The app works fine for me though.
[Venue Pro General] DriesDeSchepper:
I tried this a 100 times. Every app works great but 4th & Mayor is the only one that doesn't work very well...
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Tried uninstall & reinstall?
[Venue Pro General] neogodless:
I would definitely try a reinstall, especially with all your other apps working. I've had 4th & Mayor quit, but usually only when the phone is being it's general unstable self. Other apps would behave the same way. Could possibly be installed on a less than perfect patch of microSDHC card, and we seem to have a pattern of the Dell Venue Pro being picky about that kind of memory...

"E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)"

I have been trying to flash the 3.2.2 ROM on my Verizon branded 4g+WiFi Xoom and I am receiving the same message when I choose apply zip from USB:

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

I have tried three different microSD cards, 512MB, 16GB class 4, and 32GB class10. I get the same message no matter what card is tried. It does not seem to be able to see its own internal storage or the external microSD card.

I was following the steps and another odd thing is that I do not have the options to perform and Nandroid backup. I have the purchased version of ROM Manager but I need root access to be able to install ClockworkMod... Since my tablet is already at 3.2.2 all I really needed was root anyway so I can run Cisco Anyconnect VPN that required root.

Any tips on getting the Xoom to see or mount the SD card, either one, would be appreciated.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Step 1: Getting Ready to Flash Rooted Honeycomb in Xoom

1. Download the ROM Android-HC-3.2.2-Stock+Rooted-1.1-SOLARNZ.zip and save the file on your desktop.

2. Once done, connect your tab to the computer, mount SD Card or SD Ext and copy the downloaded Zip file to SD Card root. .

Step 2: Put Motorola Xoom in Recovery Mode

First you need to reboot Motorola Xoom in Recovery Mode, after that you can perform a factory reset on Xoom. Follow the steps below:

1. Turn your device on, then switch it back on

2. On startup when Motorola logo appears, press and hold Volume Down button

3. When Android recovery text appears, press the Volume Up button. Your device will now enter in recovery mode.

Note: In recovery mode, you can navigate up and down using Volume Up and Volume Down keys while Power button can be used to select an option.

Step 3: Take Nandroid Backup

1. Once in recovery mode, press & hold Power button.

2. While holding the Power button, press & release the Volume Up button.

3. Navigate to “backup and restore” and select it.

4. Select “backup” to perform your data backup.

Step 4: Factory Reset Motorola Xoom

1. Once Nandroid backup is complete, navigate to Wipe data / factory reset, then press Power button to select it.

2. It will ask for confirmation, select Yes, delete all user data option to factory reset Xoom.

Step 5: Flash Rooted Honeycomb 3.2.2 ROM

1. Select Flash Zip from SD Card

2. Then select choose zip from sd card

3. Select the zip file that you put onto the root of SD card.

4. Wait for process to complete.

And there you go! You are now on the latest Android Honeycomb version and are all set to explore what’s new. In case you are facing any issues or just want to thank the ROM chef. Do let us know in the comments section just in case if you face any issues while updating your device in the comments section as just in case if you face any issues then we will try to solve them at the earliest.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
I suspect that you updated your recovery via ROM Manager to a version that doesn't recognize the external sdcard. You need to flash the solarnz R4C cwm

recovery v 3.2.0.0. Rom Manager is a pain.

Also please don't flash that 3.2.2 ROM. It will break your connectivity. If you have 4G, you can flash the Odachi kernel.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muffycheeks:
Had a problem similar to yours. Make sure you have your sdcard mounted completely in it's slot. Make sure you turn the xoom off when mounting.

ok i attempted the 5 steps but i dont get an option for a backup nor an option to install zip file, the closest is 'apply update from usb drive' then i get the E:/failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory). card is mounted correctly. i bypassed the backup and just did the rest, same issue. should i keep it plugged into pc while doing all this, i plug in to copy zip file then unplug it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Assuming that you have the correct recovery version installed (see my previous post), you should keep the sdcard mounted in your Xoom. Make sure it is actually mounted. A reboot with the card seated in its slot will usually do it.

You could at least read over this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

and check the steps listed against what you have done. That often helps.

[Q] Exchange Calendar & Contacts on Android always Push updates even if Auto-Sync=OFF

Fist off, my goal is manual SYNC of everything everywhere in Android. I want to save battery.

I have an Exchange account with which I sync email, calendar and contacts. In the email app I set the inbox frequency to check NEVER (i.e. manual updates). That works fine... my email only syncs when I refresh my inbox manually. GREAT!

The problem is my calendar and contacts always receive push/real time updates. I have tried everything I can think of to set up manual updates for my calendar and contacts but I cant do it. Is this possible? The whole reason I am syncing email manually is to save battery, but if calendar and contacts cant be changed then I guess there's no point, right?

The only way I could get it to work was by disabling Background data. but it seems like it should just use the same sync settings as my inbox. Do I need to get over my WM ActiveSync-esque expectations?

Hello,

I recently unlocked the bootloader on my new SE Arc the other day so i could root it. After rebooting the phone it said there was an update available OTA so i updated it not realising that it could seriously damage your phone & it updated, rebooted and now nothing.

It didnt switch on or repond to anything except "Back" and "Power On" - When i done this with the USB attatched i managed to get the x10 Flash tool to work with it so i sent it the LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_GenericUK.ftf firmware and it sent fine but the phone still will not switch on!

Now everytime i press the power on button the LED flashes green on the right hand side.

Its the Xperia Arc on Vodafone with version 2.3.2 originally.

I mean, one of my main problems is that sometimes when I'm in a phone call on the gtalk app, and I only have EDGE, the messages that got piled up don't come through. I don't know what the issue is there, but what I want to know if this is basically the same app as gtalk and if it uses push messaging (not like, oh say, IM+ which keeps the connection open unless you activate exit with push).

Thanks!

ANSWER: No, it doesn't. I manually changed it from 3G to EDGE, and sent myself from a desktop tons of messages, and none came through their IM app... LAME!
