[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
Many of you may already be aware of this but thought I would post this for those that are not. The biggest drain on the battery is the display and screen brightness. Since many use their phones indoors, you can pretty much lower the brightness to near 0 by turning auto brightness off.

There is a feature on the phone where you can manually control the brightness by holding your finger in the center of the notification bar at the top for a second, then swipe your finger left and right across the notification bar to adjust the brightness up/down when needed, like when you are are outside. I find this manual control easy to use and significantly helps extend the battery. Note that this will only work with auto brightness turned off.

EDIT: I just learned something new with this trick. If you tap and hold the left most part of the notification bar, the brightness will change to the lowest setting. If you do the same on the right most side, the brightness will change to the highest setting. So no need to do the slide finger thing if you tap and hold the right spot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keithr1475:
Thanks for the tip
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carhigh:
oh sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Wow didn't know that, ty community growing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
or you can get the brightness widget on market.

i set it at 25%, when battery running low, i set it to 0%
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
True but it is nice to have control without having to go to a home screen where the widget is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarkDvr:
Best widget I found for this is Brightness Level. Free on market.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carhigh:
Nobody is asking for the best brightness widget. This was a tip on the little trick some of us didn't know about
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tight686:
What! This is awesome. Thank you.

Unfortunately I won't remember this... :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rjan22:
Wrong title on this thread IMO.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andrawer:
Now that's an excellent tip.

Now I can remove that screen brightness app.

Is this android specific or just the Infuse? Just wondering.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
Damn that is cool!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
I think it is a Samsung thing. It worked on my Captivate as well but not on my friend's Motorola.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] h8rift:
Yes. Its a TouchWiz feature.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ZzFDKzZ:
Nice, cool trick.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] abudabu:
Actually it's not working on my Nexus S. So it might just be a Touch Whiz thing
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
It is.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] brynwall:
I didn't know about it either! That saves me a ton of time!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] reefrunway:
Hmmm. Didn't work for me. I touched middle of notification bar, waited for a pop-up, didn't get one. Then tried swiping without a pop-up, didn't work either. :confused:

I'm running GO Launcher EX - not sure if that has anything to do with it...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] keitht:
There is no pop-up. You just slide your finger left and right across the notification bar and the brightness should change. Make sure auto-brightness is turned off or it will not work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mverrilli:
MetroPCS does not have this phone listed in it's list of flashable phones.

How might I get this working? If I were to get my hands on a MetroPCS ROM for another android device, is it possible I could piece together a working ROM? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

It's currently set up for Sprint (clean ESN for Sprint, not that it matters much for what I'm trying to do).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
....... no

one rom for 1 phone doesn't work for another. it requires work to port
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mverrilli:
Yep, I got that. I was more asking if there is something I can get from an existing metropcs ROM to clue me in onto what changes to make.

If I reset the SPC, upload a metropcs PRL, and I'm assuming change any wap settings to use metropcs's internet... is that enough? Or is there really more to it than that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
the answer is no.

WiMAX isn't even on MetroPCS. It uses LTE. There is just way too much difference in terms of radios and frequencies.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mverrilli:
Ahhh. Thanks for the info. Guess I'll activate on Sprint then. :( Anything to get away from AT&T right now, service in my areas has been horrible for months.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missingxtension:
Metropcs nexus S`

Well obviously the 4g portion of it is different.

Now the evdo and supposedly 3g should work on are where metropcs has it.

Its no problem otherwise you can do everything you can with the nexus, just at a slower Internet speed.

You should probably be able to follow a tutorial for a samsung phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thugbob:
Is it possible to get an unlocked CDMA Nexus S so that I can use it with Metro PCS. Which brings up another question, would Metro PCS allow me to use the Nexus S on their service?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Technically, the Nexus S as well as the Nexus S 4G are "unlocked" and can be rooted with no special hacks. I would imagine that MetroPCS can develop their own ROM along with a radio and make it available on their site if users choose to do that. I don't believe there is anything in Sprint's contract which would cause a lawsuit for doing that.

The question is if MetroPCS will allow this phone on their network... it's up to them but I don't see why not, as they don't make money on phones anyway (I think)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Why would MetroPCS make a ROM for a phone that is unsupported? They'd have to go to Google to make a compatible phone in the first place.

Why would they spend money on making a ROM for the Nexus S? That just makes no sense. A radio is also not open-sourced. Radios can only be created by Samsung or Google for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmashMatt:
Get your facts straight

Whoever asked the thread said nothing about ROMs. He asked if an unlocked nexus s could be flashed over to metro which it should be able to.

Hey guys I have ns4g just about everything works except for mms..if you want mms you have to use whatsapp...so if you guys can build a metro rom for the ns4g that will be great
[LG Optimus 2x] kingleroy85:
Hi there,

im new on the Optimus X2 and i am trying to figure out what you can do withit.

i got several questions and hope you can tell and or help me withit.

My first action on using Android was to put version 2.2.2 i think, on my HD2 Leo using clockwork and NAND. Had no experience to do stuff like that before, but great forum here helped me trough it.

so...

1.

I´ve heard about problems with the battery, that lifetime is not displayed right.

I think i may have something like that too. sometimes battery run out after only about 5-9 hours (using web and/or games)of course i am using it in that time but that seems to be a little bit too fast. In standby sometime it is turning off after 12-18 hours, of course using it with calls and sms sometimes.

2.

There normally should be an update or something, i thought the X2 is beeing delivered with android 2.3.? or will be updated soon after selling?

Are there any official information?

3.

I thought X2 will be out with 512mb ram?

when i start 3-4 apps and close them down, sometimes the advanced task killer shows before closing programs only 50-60 mb ram (is it ram?), after closing goes back up to about 180.

its not that nice when you want to take pictures or record video in F-HD is not working properly. have to close down everything before.

4.

What is this Cm7? i read alot about it, but i still dont know exactly what it is?

I`ve allready rooted my phone, whats a good app for deinstalling systemstuff and preinstalled games and apps?

5.

What are the 10 most useful and must have apps/programs to configure, style, and use youre phone?

6.

Are you guys using different roms? are there faster ones, more stable, less battery using?

7.

I got an 8gb external sd card, system only is showing , 4,9gb of 5,9gb free, maybe an sdcard bug like HD2 Leo had a time ago?

phone specification:

phone is rooted

I am using android 2.2.2

Baseband version 1035.21_20110405

Kernel version 2.6.32.9

Build number FRG83G

LG Version LGP990-V10d

Vodafone Germany Branding

thx for help and best regards
[LG Optimus 2x] eViLsTieFel:
Battery life is a bit of an issue with the stock rom, since, on Froyo, there apparently is a problem with idle power consumption. This is much better on some of the custom roms based on Gingerbread, e.g. CM7.

The "official" rumours are, that there will definatelly be a 2.3.* update, though when is not clear, we will possibly have to wait until fall to get it.

Ideally, Android should be managin the RAM for you. The device does have 512 MB RAM, but mind that there is alot of stuff on the stock rom. You can have more available to you by

deleting or disabling widgets on the stock rom

installing a custom rom

It is called CyanogenMod7, and is a very popular custom rom, which exists for a lot of different Android devices, including the LGOS. It is also based on 2.3.4, so it basically already is a Gingerbread Rom, but I think it still has a Froyo kernel and/or userspace, so not completely native.

I'm not gonna call out 10 apps here, but living in Germany, you should definatelly check out "Öffi" (free). I also find Maverick (payware), GPS Essentials (Free) and Dropbox (free) to be quite handy.

This depends on how happy you are with modding your phone and flashing things on it. There can be quite a bit of work necessary to get a custom rom running on your phone, but it might be worth your while. I've used custom roms mainly for the fact that they can have massively lower battery consumption when the phone is idling (e.g. display off, standby). When using the phone actively, I've not found differences to be that big regarding battery life.

You are probably confusing the internal sd card with your external one. Keep in mind that the LGOS has a 6GiB internal sd card.
[LG Optimus 2x] kingleroy85:
ok

thank you for this detailed answer.

i will take a look on the other Roms and will try it i think.

The problem with the sd card is not from confusing with the internal one.

Using the App, App 2 SD Free phone memory is showing me 1,45GB, on SD Card which must be the internal one shows me 5,51GB and on moveable which seems to be the external sd card it shows me 1,45GB again instood of my 8GB SD?

thx for help

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Well thing is the ultimate goal of a superphone would be to replace everything needed in your day right? So this is just another stepping stone cause allot of people use GPS now so it's a need and the smartphone/superphone steps in.

Now my guess if Google makes this service free then the GPS companies will take a major hit, if they do charge on the other hand I think they still have a chance because people are tempted to not mind paying for hardware but software lots of people dislike it (I'm talking average consumer) because you have nothing physical in the end, plus people already have Google maps for free so if Google randomly start to charge for this add-on I think many people will be disappointed (including me) because when you print the navigation instructions there free right so why should it be different to have them on your smartphone.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
I have come across at least 10 people now that the below method of restoring your phone, after trying EVERY other way that you can think of, works for :)

I can not, and will not, guarantee that this will work for you, but, it does seem to work when all else fails..

Now, i can expect of you to have tried at least a few of the following before doing this:

- a CWM Data Wipe

- a CWM Backup Restore

- a (EC07/DL17) clean rom flash (from within CWM)

- a (EC07/DL17) ODIN Restore (Be Careful, heed and read my warning i posted within this same thead before doing this)

IF you have exhausted your creativity with trying to fix your phone, try this:

First, download the following:

Heimdall Frontend: https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32.zip

Samsung Fascinate's Stock Param.lfs: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18259212/Phone/stock_param.lfs

Continuum Original Recovery [EC07]: http://www.mediafire.com/?pz8p4axk114092j

Continuum Original Param.lfs [EC07]: http://www.mediafire.com/?7isd5m1dbze6a0t

7-zip (or Winrar for the losers :P): You find it!

I am going to make this part quick :P

Put the phone is Download mode, and install the driver for Heimdall with ziag.exe within that zip... (you will need to check options --> list all devices).

Put the fascinate param.lfs into the param.lfs section.

Extract the original recovery with 7-zip (or other such programs)

Put the extracted file in the Recovery Section in Heimdall.

Click Start :)

From there, the program should flash the files, and your phone should reboot... You should see scrolling yellow text, and then.... Rejoice :)

Your phone should be working okay now, but Just to be safe, make sure you restore the original param.lfs before you get too comfortable :)

If you experience any difficulties, just post them down there vvv ... Again, this is only to be attempted if you have tried everything else :P
[Continuum General] spursrchamps2007:
First I can say this method works to get it back up and running (see threads below on what I went through.) With that trailblazer. I haven't re-activated this phone yet because I'm waiting to make sure it works this time. I wanted to turn on wifi to verify I have root (i.e setcpu, titanium, something to that affect.) I can see the wireless signals but I can't connect, any ideas. I would like to have this "stock" version working with a workable nandroid in case, but I guess I dont have to.

edit: you may also want to put this in development instead, probably doesn't matter but I look there first personally for fixes.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
yeah, i have heard of this issue with other people...... What other people did to finally fix it was restore a Nandroid backup.... In your case, you can't do that :P

I would suggest getting blue cwm up and working, and flashing any of the Clean Roms within it.... Making sure you do a data wipe... That's all i can really say :|
[Continuum General] spursrchamps2007:
Yeah I just did and its up and working now, i used this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008848, linked to http://forum.androidcentral.com/samsung-continuum/73450-rom-3-30-11-clean-continuum-dl17.html that for the DL. only problem is the browser fix link is broken now, you dont happen to have it :-) lol, and I like how you had your crack at me about winrar

hmm do you run the broswer fix through cwr im guessing I ran it and still getting the FC, sorry for the questions btw
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:

[Continuum General] trailblazer101:

[Continuum General] jakeschweinz:
hey, I don't know how to extract the original recovery from 7-zip. can someone please help me?

EDIT: okay, I extracted the recovery file and it turned into a .bin file and I cannot flash it on heimdall because it says my phone is not recognized.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Did you install the drivers?
[Continuum General] jakeschweinz:
yeah, I finally got it up and running. I kept trying to flash the new edify rom and things weren't working, so I flashed another rom and it works fine now.

EDIT: well, nevermind. now I'm getting a bunch of force closes. just about everything works except titanium backup, social networks, and ATK. any ideas?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:

Would just like to thank you for the guide. My Continuum has been down for a month or two after a bad Odin flash and just never saw the thread. Even bought a Fascinate to replace it. At least now I have a very functional backup phone/music player.

[Continuum General] shah456:
what PIT file should I be using in Heimdall?
[Continuum General] AstroKamel:
Just so that you know, I tried following this guide recently and wasn't able to follow it. I believe the reason for it was the version of heimdall linked is very different than the one given for the directions. I downloaded an older version of it and was able to follow your directions.

It didn't return to stock rom as I expected, left the same one on but my purposes weren't for debricking, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Camera and GPS still unoperational on phone after flashing. Waiting for replacement from verizon.

Edit: For further clarification, 1.3.0 doesn't appear to have the same options at all as 1.1.1.

This post has a screenshot of the one linked in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16431590&postcount=42

You need 1.1.1 to follow these directions.

Root solely for purpose of wifi hotspot

So I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I know very little about the Samsung Continuum. I have an HTC Inspire 4G I have rooted and mess with custom roms a bit.

But the reason I am here is for my brother. He has this phone and has moved across the country so I can't help him directly. Basically all he wants is to root his phone so that he can have free wifi hotspot to avoid buying home Internet.

I assume he will need to root and install a custom rom. He is not interested in any additional features beyond the hotspot. So if a custom rom is required he would probably prefer something similar to stock that unlocks hotspot.

So any help would be appreciated on how to accomplish this. Thanks guys! And I appreciate all those working away at "hacking" the various android phones.
