[Galaxy S II General] CarpathianUK:
All depends what we and you mean by "constant usage". If you mean literally sitting and using the phone absolutely non-stop until it dies then of course you can't get 31hrs out of it but then I'm pretty sure nobody would do that anyway in the real world.

What I meant, as an example, is regular normal usage - after all that's what you personally need your battery to last for. If I listen to music walking to work, having it grabbing my mail and twitter feeds while on my desk, have a mess around at lunchtime, more music going home then on wi-fi in the evening while trying apps or watching videos then that's what I quoted my time as lasting for. My first charge out of the box when I couldn't keep my paws off it due to the novelty lasted around a full day and that was before I learnt what items to turn off or avoid - the time soon climbs on subsequent charges and falling into a normal pattern of use.

I have no desire to come here to "sell the phone" but I do try to answer the question.

It's all just for fun at the end of the day :)

Hi,

Would like ask about your help.

My omnia has weaker signal than my wave and my girlfriends GT540 in same place about one bar less. When i keep omnia in left hand signal drop down a lot - sometimes to 0-1 bar. Is this normal for omnia 7? (for sure wave and lg has better signal). I live in good coverage area.

many thanks for your help.

Looks like bottom left corner is very sensitive for touch.....rubber case should solve a problem.

Still would like ask omnia owners if expierience same thing please.
[Omnia 7 General] lysy201:
Could one of the omnia users spare 30 seconds and see if omnia loosing signal when cover left bottom corner, please?

I need know if my phone if faulty as i still have few days to send it back for exchange...

many thanks

[Omnia 7 General] hr_kaleu:
can confirm the signal drop of two bars when covering the left bottom area (without a rubber case)

if I put my omnia into a rubber case, the signal does NOT drop

weird, never noticed that before...

Thanks for your help.

I have try all firmwares from samfirmware.com - same thing. Have got rubber case and it help a bit. Still comparing to wave 8500 Omnia 7 has poor reception.

Thank you very much for this helpful thread, but can you explain me how to install an older version of cwm ?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You want a newer version, not an older version. Look for 4.0.0.5 in the dev forum.

Ignore the /sd-ext error, you don't have an EXT partition on the SD card (as it's completely unnecessary on the O2X)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kasimodo:
Hello,

I have an ASUS EEE Pad Transformer with Android 3.1

This TF101 is rooted.

I have added 2 modules (cifs.ko and tun.ko) from my PC to /system/lib/modules

My TF101 is connected in USB Mode to my PC. I've open a command line and type:

adb shell
# mount -o remount,rw /system
mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp /sdcard/cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/.
# chmod 755 /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
chmod 755 /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
# mount -o remount,ro /system
mount -o remount,ro /system

then I've tried my cifs module but it didn't work (invalid argument).

So I've searched and found the good one for my kernel module and would like to try it but can't because I can't replace the existant cifs module or delete it. :mad:

How can I do?

Best regards,

Kasi

[HTC EVO 3D] napalm5479:
I know this is the EVO 3D forum so opinions will lean that way but I'm going back to Sprint from T-Mobile. Should I get the 3D or wait a month and get the Motorola Photon? Which will be the better phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] eclipse13:
Depends on what you are looking for. If 3 matters obviously the 3d. If you are a sense fan then the 3d as well. However I kind of like that the photon has some of the things the 3vo is missing. For one the kickstand not deal breaker but it comes in handy and an 8Mp camera with 1080p video as opposed to 5mp with 720p. Now the big draw back. The motorolla is supposed to ship with a locked bootloader. So if you like to run roms you are rolling the dice. It may or may not be unlocked at a future date. Personally I trust the 3vo to be rooted much sooner than the photon. All that said check out the Samsung Nexus II as well. Looks to be a contender.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
Can anyone dispute the claim made in this article about Motorola?

http://www.nzweek.com/technology/motorola-will-unlock-bootloader-3573/
[HTC EVO 3D] eclipse13:
I'm just saying thats on the word of a dude on twitter and then it says at the end of the year and at the discrection of the carrier. Either way it is supposed to ship with a locked bootloader and you will likely be waiting a while. IMHO thats a crap shoot you may or may not get an unlocked bootloader. I wish it wasn't so I really like this phone better than the 3vo for my personal needs but what to do.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
Isn't the 3vo going to be locked as well to start? I know HTC came out and said they will no longer lock bootloaders, but there seems to be no confirmation on 1.) If they will even allow the 3vo to be unlocked, and 2.) If so, when that will happen. It's all a crapshoot I guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] THEGAMEPLAY94:
another turn off from the photon is the pentile screen
[HTC EVO 3D] eclipse13:
Good point maximus I'm just going off past performance and HTC's official stance to disable the bootloaders. I trust them more to follow through than Motorola but alas this is all just my opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
It all depends on HTC I guess. There are going to be a lot of disappointed 3vo owners if they finally realize after a few weeks that the devs can't work miracles and unlock encrypted bootloaders. No custom ROMs or modifications unless HTC comes through.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
HTC has already confirmed the 3d will be unlocked....they specifically said the 3d so that's not a question.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
Can you provide a link? I haven't read that yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
all of the phones are locked right? doesn't it come down to being encrypted or not?
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Its somewhere in this board back when HTC announced they changed their policy. The email directly from the CEO specifically said the 3d would be unlocked. Can't recall the title of the thread but there were multiple.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
That's great he said that, but will that be next month or in 6 months? No one knows really, and he may have said that at the time to calm people down who were angry over it. I'm not saying HTC is going to go back on their word, but there still is nothing set in stone in my book.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
OK. That's your opinion. But given that the appropriate devs have the Eng bootloader in hand already, I would expect root not too long after its released....assuming no encryption. But well see I guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] murusmaximus:
There's going to be a massive flood of these things on eBay in about 4-6 months if they don't unencrypt it, and the "next" best thing comes along. I think part of the success of the evo4g was the development aspect of it. I just hope HTC realizes that. Could have great potential if they push an update out fairly quickly so there is an easy method to root.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
If it is encrypted at launch I would expect an ota update fairly quickly the next day or so to fix it. After all the bad press I doubt they will drop the ball on this issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
As far as the Photon being locked it will be. Now As far as that memo, There are bits and pieces missing. However it's not the 1st Motorola has said it will no longer lock the phones down. in fact every time I have seen this pop up it's been almost the exact same thing, even the "by the end of the year." But I have also read multiple times that that statements means phones coming out at the end of the year the Photon is not included in that group. I believe if you look on XDA as well as the internet you can find that to be true.
[HTC EVO 3D] napalm5479:
I just want to make sure I get the best phone out there and don't miss out. I sign up with Sprint on the 23rd to take advantage of the switch over deal and will get the EVO 4g :D. The 3D comes out the next day and I read somewhere the Photon comes out in July possibly the 21st. I don't want to use a free exchange in the 1 month time period only to be disappointed I didn't wait for the other phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
The cool thing about the Photon is it has HDMI out AND Micro USB port (so it can charge while playing movies (using the two cables at once). As for the EVO 3D, it has a new technology that lets HDMI charge the phone while it's plugged into the TV for HDMI out, however NO tvs out currently support this feature, so you will have to buy an adapter.

Tegra 2 CPU (Photon) is weaker than Snapdragon (EVO 3D). They're both dual core and really fast, but EVO should be superior in most situations. Motorola has stated that the bootloader is unlocked, but some rumors have it that it's still locked down tight and uncrackable (see Droid 2). This definitely makes me lean towards HTC. One more thing, HTC seems to have alot more development behind it (far more than any other manufacturer (Samsung's catching up!). To be honest, your choices should be between the GSII (Samsung within for Sprint) or the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
That will not have any short term impact on HTC. The amount of us that would sell would have no effect on them.

However, it's people like us that most others go to for phone advice. Once as a company loses our trust and favor the fallout regarding future phones will be exponential.

The important thing is that it will hopefully not be encrypted.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
This is exactly what I love about Samsung, they're giving out phones to developers to encourage modifications and custom roms. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] Biofall:
The bootloader will still be locked, not encrypted. HTC just won't be going out of their way to make it impossible.
[HTC EVO 3D] napalm5479:
I want the GSII but there is now release date on that and since I'm taking advantage of the deal Sprint has going for coming over from another carrier and these 2 phones come out within a month of each other I think my choices are between the 2. I'm leaning to the 3D because of the boot loader being unlocked or at least unencrypted. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] regulator207:
the fact that the atrix now has an unlocked bootloader makes the photon more appealing. damnit, i'm still picking up my evo 3d tomorrow.

[HTC EVO 3D] AdamLeonard:
Not me. As much as I am jones'n to upgrade, I just can't see upgrading to the 3D when

1) it does nothing to address my biggest problem with the Evo: battery life;

2) it downgrades camera quality (8MP) for the 3d cameras (5MP)

3) there are 2 very compelling other options on the horizon in the Photon and the SGSII.

I'm waiting at least until all three come out and will then pick one. Like a number of the features of the Photon (world phone, laptop docking station, screen resolution vs the SGSII) but think the SGSII will have been battery life.

If Photon can get me through the day with heavy usage, I go Photon. Otherwise SGSII.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
1. Except many people have said it has a lot better battery life then the evo...

2. MP mean nothing in a camera... 8 mp is to much for a tiny lens..

3. The photon yes, sgsII no. We have no clue when its being released. Considering sprint hasn't even announced it i doubt it will be in the next month or two.
[HTC EVO 3D] jeffsanace:
Just my 2 cents, as far as the camera, the 3d camera is 10 times better than the og evo. I have been using it for a few days now, I'm very impressed with pic quality. Yesterday i got 17+ hours out of the battery with med to heavy use, so i would also say that is much better. The Photon does sound like a nice device, but after using the 3d I know I made the right choice. As a bonus, the 3d content available is awesome on this device. You tube has 3d videos all over now. And games are on the rise as well. And did I mention that the speed is absolutely lightning with zero lag, ever! Hope this helps someone.

Ps. Photon does not support the upcoming cdma800x that will deploy by years end. (Push to talk, and extended cdma coverage)

[HTC EVO 3D] AdamLeonard:
I have a 1700mah battery for my current Evo and can't make it 7 hours of it sitting on my desk doing nothing but push email without the phone asking me to plug it in. I can't imagine that the 3D is much better though it would obviously be nice.

The supposedly leaked Sprint roadmap suggests some kind of touch Samsung phone in the 3rd quarter. If that's the SGSII, I'm willing to wait so I can do a real comparison of the 3. I've actually been leaning more towards the SGSII since I wrote my earlier email - I have hopes that the SAMOLED screen will use less power and since the phone is so thin, putting an extended battery on it might only bring it up to Evo/Photon thickness.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Fyi there's a review just up on android central and they got 13 hrs on the battery during heavy usage. Also said the touch wiz was basic and unimpressive compared to sense 3.0.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
I think if battery life is one of your major issues you need to forget what all those reviews said and check out what real people are saying. I bet I'm using 3 hours of 3D a day . wifi, or 4G, and heavy usage, with 3 email accounts being pushed and 100+ text a dayand probably about 45 minutes of Google music streaming. Worst battery usage for me so far was 12 hours. some how am on 14 today and I think I'm pushing close to 4 hours of 3D and gaming today.

There is NO way Samsung will touch that. well not without root anyways.
[HTC EVO 3D] ninja_unmatched:
Yeah people are talking of getting better battery life out of their EVO 3Ds so far. Anyone ever notice that dock app on the 3D???? Anyone can enlighten us on its purpose??? cause it looks like a cheap attempted to compete with the Atrix. I am not a fan of SenseUI and at the same time not sure I want a Motorola phone, I don't care how well Droids have done. (Maybe cause I remember a time when having to edit Hex codes to get features on their phones like simple file transfering.)

So far the camera I can tell definitely is not better than the 4G camera. I find I have to actually sit still-er to get a picture. I want to switch from my 800Mhz crap Transform but rooting and bootloaders are a concern for me. Locking all that down takes a lot of fun out of having these phones and decreases their lifetime for me. I would literally have to switch a phone every 6 months to be content.
[HTC EVO 3D] ninja_unmatched:
I am going to suggest my sister take her phone back cause I burned through half the battery during the short time that I had it.
[HTC EVO 3D] hachiroku:
this is how i weighted my options. the things i cared about...

world phone vs faster processor...i'd rather have a faster processor as i do not travel internationally more than once or twice a year.

motorola does produce a nicer lcd panel though. so the comparision is very close, but at this point all that matters to me is sheer performance figures. also at this point the tegra2 cpu is utter crap for battery life from what i've heard and been told by atrix owners.

The new version of SDK has changed a few things within the file system, so I'm just writing something here to show how it will work fast for everyone.

1. Install Android SDK

2. Update Android SDK through the program first.

3. Go to "Android\android-sdk\tools" (or wherever you've installed the sdk-tools) and copy "fastboot".

4. Paste "fastboot" in to "platform-tools"

5. Once that's done, to get directly to "Android\android-sdk\" to run ADB and fastboot without having any errors (or command prompt irritations) press SHIFT then right click "Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" and select "Open command window here".

6. Then it's just the case of pasting your .img file in to the "Android\android-sdk\platform-tools" folder, and you're good to go! (for example, in command prompt type: fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img)

The reason why I have put this here is because I have had trouble trying to sort out the new SDK and I in fact had trouble with "missing files" within the folders. They weren't missing, it's just that the SDK folders have been cleaned up.

Follow this and you won't go wrong to flash anything through fastboot :).

But it didn't work kept on displaying Connection Error.I tried so many times but it didn't work out. Then I tried using the SSPL Manual as alternative.

I extracted and copied it to my device ( can't remember if my device was still plugged to my PC or not) and then ran the program.

My device went blank screen and I waited for some time and it didn't come on ( I waited patiently).

when nothing happened,I then removed the battery and tried hard resetting but it won't still come on.

Now,I cannot synchronized my device with my PC because it kept requesting for driver software for Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM (guess it no longer recognized my device) and my phone won't come. So I can't complete the flash.
