I can't understand why some report apk to desappear during deodex process.

It'is working well for me. Try to manually deodex these apk.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sicopat:
In the root folder of the custom rom, there is a META_INF folder, navigate into it until a .script file. Edit this file with notepad and make the modification to personalise
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tygoger:
Thank you, found it! Works great making my own ROMS with your CustomROM template.

Is the ROM also rooted after install. Because you added bb, superuser and su? That is still unclear to me, because I always include Chainfire CF-Root kernels. .

I noticed itt stopped working saying "no new updates" a few weeks ago. Have triend telling it to sync manually throu the settings.

It keeps saying "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". .

Apparenly it hasn't been able to sync my contacts since 5/28...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
I know this has been discussed in the Gummycharge thread, but its buried pretty deep.

I know kej said that it has to do with the gallery, but I have uninstalled the Gallery3D.apk using the toolbox and I still seem to be losing about 10% per hour with the phone sitting idle on my desk.

Is there something we can use to quantify the appropriate battery drain rate? We all use our phones differently, so we need a way to standardize the battery drain so we can discuss it.

I saw someone mentioned that they were only losing 2% per hour while idle.

Currently, If i unplug the phone, and leave it sit for an hour (after a full charge) with only wifi on (gps, and bluetooth off) I lose about 10% per hour. If i use the phone at all, for example, When i wake up in the morning after a full charge and read the latest XDA posts, or some news articles, I can go from 100% to 85% in about 20 min.

this doesnt seem right.

Can we consolidate the battery drain issue to this post and post fixes and discuss reasons here?
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
This should have been posted in General first off.

Also, do you have SpareParts installed? If so, use that to check if your phone is entering sleep mode. You may have an app that is preventing your phone from sleeping, which will cause excessive battery drain like you are experiencing. My battery drain is <<1%/hr in airplane mode (I lose 1-2% over 8-9hrs in airplane mode) and when not in airplane mode, I'd say I loose at most 2-3%/hr if the phone is only sitting idle and I'm not using it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
OK cool, I wasnt sure if this was a general issue or not. Can a Mod move it? Or should I just delete and Remake?

Ive looked in spare parts and Im not sure where it would give that information, under battery history ive got running at 38.2%, screen on 25.2% phone on 14.5% and wifi on 100%

nothing mentions sleep mode
[Verizon Droid Charge] will2live:
I get a drain of about 3-4% an hour if mine sits. However I leave it on LTE and at the office there is no LTE service yet. Yeah I'm just lazy......lol.

Curious on your SpareParts thing tho. I've never used it much really. Where does it show/display whether or not it is going into sleep mode. now I'm kinda curiosu if mine is correctly or not. Not that I'm very concerned about 4% and hr as I make it threw a full day fine. TIA
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
If it's not running, it's sleeping. You're battery drain is likely caused by wifi being one 100%. If you are leaving the cell radio on, LTE, and also wifi, that is 3 radios on all at once, draining power.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
is that just an issue with the charge? with my Incredible, leaving wifi on saved battery as it did not need to talk to the cell tower and try to get a 3g signal. Also, Before I flashed, I was able to sit all day in school and still be at %80ish power.

I will see what turning wifi off does.. but to be perfectly honest. that seems a little inefficient, that would mean every time i turn on the phone to use it, i would have to turn on wifi and sync, then turn it back off again.

For example, since I wrote this post, my battery has gone from 87% to 70%. 17% in 66 min even with wifi on, that cant be "normal drain". And All i have done is looked at 2 text messages.

Please do not get me wrong, I am not complaining at all. but I would like to get to the bottom of this.

I was on my way to the store to return the charge I hated it so much, but after flashing gummy and your kernel, I love the thing more than any phone ive ever had. So please do not mis-judge my intentions here. I simply want to know if this is normal. In my experience with sell phones (Droid Incredible for over a year, Wife has htc thunderbolt, and now the charge both stock and now custom rom) It is draining much much faster than any phone I have used before.

If this is normal, then I will just deal with it.

I am going to put it in airplane mode for the next hour and see what happens
[Verizon Droid Charge] Serinety:
It is def something in connectivity. Still at 75% after 1 hour in airplane mode. going go turn on 3g only and check again in 30 min.

I was going through battery stats and saw that wifi ON was at 100% and Wifi running was also at 100%..

seems like maybe somethign is using my data. so if that is true, it should try while on 3g and I should get huge battery drain.

will report back
[Verizon Droid Charge] silenceforus:
Dude you are NOT alone. my phone drains like a siv, when its nt even being used. I always have LTE off, unless i tether wifi and I always plug it in when i tether so i dont drain. Itll just sit and be idle with NO use and lose 30%. i have gps, wifi and bluetooth off..... wth? this phone is looking ro get returned if i cant sort it out. i cant sit on a charger all the time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
If you are running Gummy, the gallery thing should not be an issue anymore (he fixed it a few versions ago).

When you go into spare parts, go to battery history and change to sensor usage. That will tell you immediately if you have some app that is draining your battery (ie the Gallery).

For the most part the battery killer for people is network searching. 3G,4G and WiFi are all in the same boat in that they will kill your battery if your phone has to constantly scan for them. To my knowledge using WiFi is better on power than 3/4G, but that is only if you are connected to a good signal and your phone doesn't have to search.

Also, I have noticed that the WiFi antenna on my charge isn't all that good, so you may want to keep an eye on it during your day. You may find that it is losing WiFi and scanning without you realizing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
The LTE radio in the Charge can be a huge hog. Especially if your in an area that likes to switch between 4G and 3G. Both my work and my home switch between 3G and 4G a lot and its not uncommon to see my phone drain almost 10% in an hour. On a good day it will be 5% an hour with LTE enabled. With mobile data and wifi off it can go down 0-2% per hour.
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
As far as I know, this is most likely just a sign of the Charge's battery. I'm not sure what Engadget was smoking in their review, but my Charge gets pretty horrendous battery life, especially in areas with dodgy signal (think constant switching between 3G and 4G). This is the first phone I've bought extra cables for charging in the car and office, but honestly, with these things getting as crazy as they are, I think this might be the norm in the future, what with battery technology lagging behind so much.

Some tips I've learned: turn the Wi-Fi radio off when not in use, and if you're in a really low-coverage area, consider even turning data off (you'll still be able to receive calls).
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kamar234:
I live in NY, which is absolutely blanketed by 4g. I get better 4g reception than 3g in some places. I am getting horrific battery life. I just wiped, then mounted each partition individually and wiped and then reinstalled gummy 1.8.5 and per imnuts' recommendation, not install the reboot options. I had a custom rom on this phone within an hour of purchasing this phone, so I can't compare stock to a custom rom's battery life. I just know over the few days I've had this phone, my battery has been terrible. I shudder to think what the Thunderbolt must be like.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlackMagicNights:
Your battery may be draining fast the first boot. Just reboot it. If that doesn't work then it didnt flash properly. Just reflash everything and remember to clear data, cache... hope it helps.

You can download an overclocking app and reduce battery use IF you already solved the battery drain problem.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nesincodrut:
My screen ocasionally shakes and turns half white and half with black stripes on a white background, it recoveres after i put it in standby.

I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem because if i press the phone (i press the top part against the qwerty keyboard part) the shaking goes off but the screen still turns white. I have sean a video on youtube on how to fix this but i don;t know how true it is and i don;t belive that is the solution. back home i have a spare motherboard... but home is farrrr away so i am looking for another solution.

I changed the rom thinking that was causing it but it was not. i am thinking about overclocking the cpu , maybe that will help ( you can see that i am desperate :P )

I hope you can come up with a solution.

thank you for taking your time to read my post.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nesincodrut:
since i did the trick presented on youtube i don;t have that screen shaking problem.. this is 1st day , i will come back after a week and tell you if it really works

I just ordered one of these on ebay from TPD Gear. It should come in a couple days and I'll post a review. This one looks promising, if its similar to the Senyx one I bought but with clips instead of straps.

Here's my quick and dirty review and some photos (see posts 9 and 10):

Actually looks like a good economical option. Do chime in when you get yours.

Does anyone else have one of these???

[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
First set of photos.

So I just got the case tonight, so this is more or less a first impression of it.

First thing I noticed is that its bulkier than my Senyx folio case, but a little more compact. It's actually really close to the dimensions of the A500, so there's not a lot of edge margin along the perimeter of the case and the tablet itself, as there is on the other case. That said, if you look at my second set of photos on the next post, you'll see that with the tablet in the Senyx case, its really close the same thickness as the TPD case.

The material looks good, and has very little odor, which I imagine will go away like it did on my other case. The stand function is quite functional and very well designed, as it doesnt fold in on itself like other cases do, so structurally the case doesnt really bend too easily. The one gripe I can forsee is that the slots that hold the tablet when in stand mode may slip over time, but we'll see.

An elastic band binds the case together when its being transported, as you can see in the second set of photos. This works well enough, and keeps the profile very flat.

Now, on to the main reason I bought this -- the clips that hold the Tablet in. I really do not like the pouch-design that the other cases use because the tablet can slip fairly easily in it. The Senyx case uses straps along the corners and I've noticed that these straps have stretched already in the 2.5 weeks I've used it so it also does slip sometimes. These clips work wonderfully. They feel like they have some rubber material coated on them so it would help alleviate scratching to the tablet, but it was a bit difficult to put on at first and to take off. I think you are suppose to slide it in from the bottom.

The clips DO block the SD slot slightly!!!! It's just a tad too long, and it blocks the very end of the port making it, so far, not able to open while attached to the clips.

As far as weight goes, its a little bulkier as I mentioned because of an added layer which acts as the rear leg in kickstand mode, and this adds roughly 0.40 lbs when compared to the Senyx case. Both of these are heavier than the Acer OEM case.

--added one more thing-- I just noticed that in kickstand mode, there's speaker cutouts hidden under the kickstand in folio mode. Pretty awesome :)

OK -- sorry this was quick and dirty.

So far so good though!
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
second set of photos -- the last couple are the Senyx folio case. Also a nice pick.
[Acer Iconia A500] timehunter:
Looks nice, but also looks like it adds a fair bit of bulk, thought not as much as the Targus model.

The Acer case isn't perfect, but is low impact on the foot print.

Your thoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
I just wrote a quick write-up on it in post 9.

I had the Acer case and I hated it. It's very slim, but I couldnt stand it as I felt it degraded the overall look and quality of my tablet. This case is definitely a lot bulkier then the Acer case and the Senyx case. I like the clips though -- The Senyx case with clips would be ideal for me, since I do not care for the kickstand function as much -- I have the Arkon stand already.
[Acer Iconia A500] deathbysnoosnoo:
Im more interested if you took these pics and did this write-up while "breaking bread with the porcelin god".
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
lol. it was the brightest area i could find to take pics quickly near my room. :P
[Acer Iconia A500] shdw03:
didnt even notice the toilet....haha. thanks for the w/u and pics.

this case its tops on my list so far....
[Acer Iconia A500] timehunter:
Got my TPD case today. It has very good contruction quality. It looks great and in the scope of its design it works very well as intended.

Since the components are all synthetic materials, it has an odor to it when brand new. That was easily dealt with, though, by a healthy dose of fabric freshener.

I love the plastic holder tray that is sewn into the case. It holds the device in place with a snap (pun intended) of authority and allows a nice view of the shiny toy it cradles so well. As mentioned in previous comments, the top bracket tab overlaps the SD card slot door. However, I don't see that as a show stopper. Unless you are using multiple SD cards to manage media, you won't need to bother with it much. I feel that if needed, the tab could be modified without any real impact to it's retention ability.

Other than that matter, the holder tray allows full access to all other ports and switches with no troubles.

I am not enamored of the extra bulk the case adds. But practically every case of this type has that issue to one degree or another. The Iconia already has significant thickness and this case adds to that in full measure. I'll take a few days with the case to see if I can live with it.

The case also makes the Iconia less comfortable to hold in portrait, at least to me. I do use it in portrait quite a bit, almost as much as landscape, but I'm willing to admit my use scenario is different from others. After all, all these tablets are designed primarily for landscape, so there you go. In landscape, especially when using it in easel mode, it is terrific.

In summary, it may not be perfect, but it is a very good option if you are looking for an executive folio type case that is also a landscape easel stand.

Here's the update.
[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
Anybody think like me, that by the time we have all bought multiple cases to try them out, and then discard them because they have a fault or two, we could have just stumped up the shocking price of the pdair case and had done with it :D
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
lol ya. i was able to return the acer case at least. but i do have two cases now. luckily my co-worker might be getting one of these tablets so i might sell it to him for a reduced price.

the TPD case is a bit heavy, but im starting to like it alot. there are times when i take the tablet out of the case when im going to be holding it for long periods of time, but it works great on the table or on my lap.

Tried this case out at Best Buy and hated the elastic band. After trying 3 cases and finding reasons to dislike them all, I splurged for the PDair v2 case. Im a little nervous but the reviews and the videos sold me - it looks perfect for my needs.

Bringing this thread back from the dead... anyone know what happened to the vendor "TPDgear"? I can view the case on a closed ebay auction, but their ebay store no longer exists. I really like the case in this thread, is there another vendor that sells it, if TPDgear is no longer?

[Acer Iconia A500] elborak:
That appears to be identical to the one I recently purchased. Pretty nice case for the money. I first tried a cheaper case which was of the "pocket with a window" type and couldn't stand that the border interfered with easy access to the bottom toolbar. The clip style is far superior for my purposes.

This exact same case appears from at least a half dozen different sellers on Amazon under different names, ranging in price from $17-$25.

I'm seeing a fairly consistent problem where I click to install an App, and it gets hung in "Waiting to install". Eventually it just stops trying.

Everything else on the pad works great. I've had no slowness issues, nothing at all wrong with the pad -- just randomly applications don't install. I've installed installing things from the web market because they always work there.

Ditto. Very annoying. I had hoped 3.1 would have fixed this, but it didn't.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] onebelo:
same here .. sometimes i would get connection failure and to 'retry' or 'cancel'

i would turn off wifi and back on and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. rebooting will make it work again but then the issue would occur at times. not all the time though.

or i would disconnct from my wifi and turn on wifi tethering on my phone and have it connect to their and market would load fine again. =/

Make sure that Google Talk is running in the background and you are logged in. For some reason the Market and Talk are related and killing Talk will cause the Market to hang.
