[Optimus One, P500, V General] terrycurls:
so i have a p500 with the CM7 rom on it

camera makes a noise when i take photos, and there is no setting in the camera or sounds settings to change it.

have researched and apparently theres something with the japanese and korean phones that they legally have to make a sound when a photo is taken. My one was singapore (? i think) or possibly hong kong but i think this may apply to it too.

i want to know if there is something i can do to change the camera noise. i know you can potentially locate the camera sound files and rename them but thats pretty hacky and seems like possibly a bad idea.

is there some app that augments the camera and could add this functionality?

Hi there!

Until yesterday, syncing Hotmail via Exchange worked like a charm for me using the stock Android Mail APK. But from 18:00 MET on syncing stopped, the app telling me, connection to server failed. Are there any known issues by now? I know that Microsoft is rolling out Hotmail Wave 5 these days, could this be a reason and did anyone have the same problems as I do?

=== sxSystemInfo HD v0.2.1a for Honeycomb 3.1 ===

*** The dock status is showing undocked when connected on some custom kernels (dock_status:1 and dock_level:0 from BatteryService in logcat.

*** Apparently this is effecting other battery info widgets also ... please post if it doesn't work so we can track it, thanks!

*** Tested on stock 3.0 and 3.1, tested on Prime 1.4 (stock).

APK Updated: 6/19/11 @ 2021 PST

I had a request today to create a resizable text based system info widget for 3.1 and had never done a widget before, so I figured I'd do one up. (HD in the title only refers to it being for a 3.1 tablet, should work on 3.0 also but won't be resizable)

So I decided to finally give my first contribution to the xda scene after lurking for many years. This is rudimentary at best at the moment, so please don't be too harsh, and only has basic information for the time being.

Currently shows:

Uptime in hours and minutes

Battery level for tablet in percent (displays if charging)

Battery level for dock in percent or "not docked" if undocked

Battery temperature for tablet battery

MAC Address

RAM Free MB/Available MB

upcoming additions:

internal memory free mb/total mb

sd card memory free mb/total mb

cpu freq

configuration screen to select and order what shows on the widget

... please test it out and let me know what else you would like to see..

There are some things that need to be fixed, and I have no skill in icon design, so until I can get an icon, i'm sticking to the default one =).

And the network communication permission is for MAC Address only! No communications are sent or received.

Thanks!

Bug List:

* Noticed when in dock and charging, shows it's undocked.. fixed.

* Temperature was displaying incorrectly.. fixed.

* memory mislabeled as "used/free" changed to "avail/total".. fixed

112C?? My tablet turns off when it hits 30+C ... 112C is past boiling! I don't think that readout is accurate...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seigex:
like i said i worked on it late last night.. i'm taking the readings from the data that the dock puts out.. i'm working on it today to shore up some of the stuff.. i also noticed it stopped updating when battery hit 50% so there's still work to be done..which is why it is version 0.1a (a for alpha)

thanks for testing it for me tho? =)

EDIT: i found the problem, guess that's how tired i was i just made a quick assumption, I was displaying it as Fahrenheit (202 degrees) when its actually Celsius*10 (should be 20.2C not 202F lol) oh well thanks for bringing it to my attention

[HTC Incredible S] daGUCCI:
Last friday purchased HTC Incredible S, since I'm kinda hardcore user of phones (previously had old crap Samsung Tocco Lite - was surfing on internet + listening music, without problem could survive 10-12hrs nonstop use), now when I tried same with Incredible S, it end up that after 2-3 hrs of surfing + some app using for awhile, I ended up at 30-35% from 100%. I did turned all syncs off, brightness to minimums, turned of almost everything and all tasks, so it was just like test for how long surviving it with no internet(wifi/mobile),any sync, any sound/vibration and low brightness - it survived 1 hour longer then before. Like srsly 400£ worth phone with battery what can't hold even 6 hrs?

P.S. first try with apps and such was record for 4 hrs, next test without any apps etc etc survied 5 hrs...
[HTC Incredible S] prinzhernan:
The battery gets better in time.
[HTC Incredible S] daGUCCI:
I see that you have Incredible too, how long your battery lasts when using atleast 2h of app/call/internet usage?
[HTC Incredible S] kakawong:
same here, I need to keep charging it. maybe upgrading the kernel and rom helps.:p
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
I'm seeing this aswell. The more i use my phone the better the battery gets.
[HTC Incredible S] bakili:
my battery does last 1day 12-15hr. All sync on, mobile networks on, background sync on. Normal use, that is incredible.
[HTC Incredible S] wpra3:
well when i first got my IS, the battery life is ridiculously short, from 100% -> 20% in 2 hrs of intense use!

But the battery life is getting better at day 3 (around 5x full charge cycle), do the calibration thing, use till 1%, but make sure phone is not dead, and recharge to 100%, redo for like 5 times.

If battery life still sucks, i think you get a bad battery

My battery lasts 9 hours of intense use (Wifi,3G,Games,Surf net,Listen to music)
[HTC Incredible S] stefanospizzica:
Hello

I have installed Battery Monitor Widget Pro to check battery consumption. You can see so which are the applications that drain more your battery, tipically the display.

My battery runs one full day, even one and half with Wifi and BT always ON and normal telephone usage but if I switch on 3G it decrease rapidly and sometimes cannot reach one full day.

So in my case the 3G connection drains a lot.

Stefano
[HTC Incredible S] mmmjon:
I've had mine since late april and I get a whole day, at least, out of it. Yesterday, I actually went 24 hours without charging it and I still had 30% left. The only "syncs" that are on, are my gmail, weather and Whatsapp. I can definitely confirm it gets better with time!
[HTC Incredible S] daGUCCI:
has anyone ordered from Amazon.Co.Uk, I was wondering if they can refund for phone, so I can take instead HTC Sensation :/

Anyways, I got this phone like 3-4 days ago, now I'm trying to maximally drain it with apps/games to get that battery life up
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
sense drains your battery...

and also 3g drains it if you have a unstable connection

what i allways do is out of the box, drain it 100%

charge it 100%

drain it 100%

charge it 100% and your done...

might be a ghost story, but surely seems to work for me, however 12hours and mine is empty as fk, with gaming, bad 3g connection, wifi, gtalk etc.etc. aka daily usage..

but thats cuz im running cyanogenmod, which isnt 100% stable yet
[HTC Incredible S] crecsky:
Do people not read anything these days? You're complaining about battery life of a smart phone... None of them last longer than a day or two max. Not to mention it's a new toy and you can find yourself on it more often. Checking the battery constantly kills your battery. Tones of widgets kill your battery.
[HTC Incredible S] daGUCCI:
I do understand about 1-2 days of uptime for phone is ok, but mine doesn't survive even 6h +_+ , contacted HTC and they said that battery is fauly.

ANyways... I dont use widgets and actually turned of all sync and stuff like that to prevent battery drain, even in airplane mode, it drains from 40 to 5% (to complete dead) in about 1-2 hrs
[HTC Incredible S] DJjay18:
I find battery life pretty poor. After charging to 100%, it can be down to 90% within half an hour - without really even using the phone. I can turn on the phone at 7am, and it will be down to between 50 and 40% by 11pm, never normally enough to get through the next day.

I'm going to try some overclocking to see if that helps.
[HTC Incredible S] daGUCCI:
Overclocking will drain even more battery, downgrade better speed of it and it should save battery
[HTC Incredible S] Omega_5:
I've found that for the first few weeks of having the phone, the battery life will be crap... cause you're generally always messing around with it.

Lately I've been getting two work days out of a charge (6am to ~6pm the next day). I rooted the phone, uninstalled a bunch of bloatware, and set it to underclock when the screen is off (although I'm having issues with that one at the moment).
[HTC Incredible S] daGUCCI:
I'm thinking to buy other phone instead of this (amazon is accepting this for refund/replacement now), so I was thinking if it's worth take Sensation instead of Incredible S?

[Vibrant General] jaikat:
hi guys..

i opened this thread in order to hopefully urge all developers, and kernel developers in particular, to consider adding the "smartass" governor to the list of cpu governors already available...

before anyone asks, here's what the governor developer said about it:

Technical Details-originally posted by erasmux :

smartass governor is based on the concept of the interactive governor. I have always agreed that in theory the way interactive works -by taking over the idle loop -is very attractive. I have never managed to tweak it so it would behave decently in real life. Smartass is a complete rewrite of the code plus more. I think its a success. Performance is on par with the "old" minmax and I think smartass is a bit more responsive. Battery life is hard to quantify precisely but it does spend much more time at the lower frequencies. Smartass will also cap the max frequency when sleeping to 352Mhz (or if your min frequency is higher than 352 -why?! -it will cap it to your min frequency). Lets take for example the 528/176 kernel, it will sleep at 352/176. No need for sleep profiles any more!

also here's more on other governors in addition to the smartass governor in this thread

so what is this about??

"almost" all kernels available for samsung phones are missing this governor, and as some might think "hey, we don't need it..", i suggest you try it first and then decide.. the only kernel that has smartass for (in this case) the vibrant is SuperDragonModz_v2.. and here's what one of the guys at the kernel's thread had to say about it:

this is about spreading the "smartass culture" among samsung rom/kernel developers..

what do you guys think?
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
Well, I will personally I feel smartass is a nice feature. It works for my kernel and my aim with it but it may not be the same for everyone. A properly configured conservative governor is also quick and good on battery and performance.
[Vibrant General] jaikat:
well, that coming from you (the first to add smartass to a non cm7 kernel for the vibrant) is not much for supporting our cause, and you didn't even vote :mad:

just kidding.. your work on adding smartass to the SuperDragonModz kernel is very much appreciated, and you know it..

and like you said, the least one could say about it is that its a "feature", and one that is still lacking..

as for me, i honestly think it does improve responsiveness, and still maintains the reasonable battery life offered by the conservative and ondemand governors..
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
More choices? HELL YEAHHHHHHHHH
[Vibrant General] nivek_k2020:
If it improves battery life count me in. :)

Thinking of getting a 3.5 external drive and filling it full of films.

When it comes to playing them, plugging the external into the transformer via USB then running the HDMI into TV :confused:

Anyone else tried this yet, or will i only be able to view films on the transformer screen :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cjwilber:
I have played films through hdmi connection to a TV. The only 'problem' was that you get the output on both the transformer screen and the TV screen, which can be a bit distracting.

I have also connected a usb drive OK.

I haven't connected a usb drive and played films over hdmi from it (because all my films are format that doesn't work on transformer), but see no reason why that wouldn't work, given that each component part of the activity works.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Badwolve1:
I do that with my Netbook, but I close the lid slightly and put it under a chair :p

I have a 500GB Seagate something USB HDD Formatted Fat32 with HD/SD films in MP4 and this plays on the Xformer fine :)

Hope this helps

[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
So you can have films on a hard drive in a format that's not readable by the transformer :confused:

What format is that then so i can try and avoid it :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Badwolve1:
NTFS (I think), EXFat and mac formats aren't supported.

Use Fat32 with MP4 Videos
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deadman3000:
It won't play AC3 or DTS audio files natively. Some players have the codecs like Vplayer but they do not seem to have hardware acceleration for the video. I am still waiting for a player that plays 720p MKV files with AC3 or DTS properly. Right now the best way I found was to use VLC Direct to stream transcoded content from the PC and let the PC do the conversion on-the-fly.

Also I noticed that videos judder when audio is present but do not judder when no audio is decoded. The only thing I have seen smooth audio and video playback from is streaming videos through something like Megaviewer for some reason.

Also HDMI output does not work on Panasonic plasma TV's from 2010 onwards for some reason.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cjwilber:
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The films were of various video codecs inside an avi wrapper. Transformer can't open avi files (actually, maybe it can now but it couldn't when I tried this).

It is formatted as ntfs.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
If you're playing 1080p video via the HDMI out on the TF, the TF screen goes blank due to the resolution not being supported on the internal LCD. That may be helpful if you feel that having both screens on is a bit distracting. Hopefully at some point Asus or a third party dev will figure out a way to manually turn off the TF display while connected to HDMI.

The problem is- i get constant freezes/crashes when i do more than one task,for ex. If i play a video file and someone calls it freezes, or if im playing a game it craches on loading screens, if i listen to music and browsing net and then someone calls, phone is dead...
