In taking it apart i found 4 in total; battery, under battery, on top underneath the smoked plastic in between headphone jack and power button( probably the one you see), and lastly again under plastic not to far below sd slot directly on circuit board. they will most likely reject it, unless you get lucky and don't know about the other two. good luck
[Desire General] madmaveric:
I have been searching for 20 mins and can't find an answer (first time using the app so may have missed something).

I was wondering if anyone had any data on brightness % and power usage. People seem to go to great lenghts to change the brightness levels but I remember something on last years Google dev. con. videos on YouTube that said it didn't make as much difference as originally thought. (i can't find the video either lol. Bad search day here).
[Desire General] k3an:
The biggest improvement in battery life (IMO) comes from setcpu. I also keep my screen at 40% which I suppose helps some. I've got a Mugen extended life battery and setcpu set at around 537 max (on demand) with the screen off. I get 2 days out of my battery... And I use my phone a lot.
[Desire General] erklat:
Lol, now uninstall it, set smartass governor and see how meaningless that app really is. :D

The bad thing is that on Sense roms, I have yet to see brightness going lower than 30%, even in pitch dark. Aosp does far better job as long as brightness is concerned. Setting it at low value is not an option for me either as it renders your phone unusable in direct sunlight.
[Desire General] erklat:
/accidental double post
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
How to set governor when i don't have an app which can do this any more? :D

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App
[Desire General] erklat:
Every rom has it listed under its changelog, usually it is smartass for sense roms. It isn't by accident either, some have reported lag waking the phone up. I haven't across almost all roms available, and even if I did I'd still prefer 20% less performance over 20% less battery life.
[Desire General] x潮騒x:
Why dont u test it wiht currentWidget or so? Okay, i did it:

0% -> 125mA

25% -> 150mA

100%-> 280mA

So what do we learn? Brightness and/or Screen has a big impact and probalby most people here trying kernel tweaks and whatever to improve the battery dont understand math.

You can just use the Terminal... its linux after all.
[Desire General] wl08:
Agree. Just check the battery usage, you will get the idea.

On mine, display usually uses 40% - 60%, with data always on.
[Desire General] madmaveric:
Apologies for the late reply. lost internet connection for a week then forgot I posted it :P

Thanks for the replies guys. I eventually found the video, took ages lol

(youtube.com/watch?v=OUemfrKe65c).

According to what they say in this the screen actually doesn't account for that much of the total battery usage (mainly due to the screen being off most of the day) overall given everything else using battery.

i.e. coming up with a way to keep the device asleep for longer when turned off would completely out strip any adjustment to the screen brightness in terms of battery life.

So things like lower cpu when in standby can be really good but only when not getting data transfer (as this needs to be done very quickly as its expensive).

As adjusting screen brightness is easy to do I think that is why so much time is spent on this. In reality though it seems like it is only going to give a limited battery life increase.
[Desire General] Gsanez:
But if you put low cpu, the cpu needs more time at low to do the same that a fast cpu, thats why the setcpu apps its a bit crap. I think that set low the brightness of the screen save more battery than putting the set cpu really low... (just my two cents)
[Desire General] SMF_12:
I leave the brightness on my phone to around 30% for better battery, and i can see it ok in the daytime. I have recently had it up at 100% and noticed how quick my battery goes dead.
[Desire General] madmaveric:
Very true.

I guess ideally you want the CPU low when its not doing anything and high when doing data transfers etc (to speed up the high current draw activities).

I guess a good app would be one that puts the phone in airplane mode for 90% of the time when inactive. Only coming out once every so often to check for text/data etc. I can see that giving better returns than anything else. from what was said in the video a phone in standby doing nothing would apparently last nine days (as apposed to one normally). Given this data I guess its possible to double the battery life with this kind of app.

I may have to have a go at writing one :P
[Desire General] madmaveric:
I agree that turning the brightness down makes sense and saves battery. It just seems a disproportionate amount of time people spend over brightness vs better ways of extending battery life.

I guess the rewards also depend on the amount of time you use the phone as the more you use it, the better reward from the screen and the less from the standby solutions
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
The new DolfinX looks very good performing Standards like HTML 5 and passing the Acid 3 Test. All other Systems are worser even Android don't supports more than the new Dolfin, i can only say thank you samsung for the good work even in a pre alpha release.

Performance Tests are currently not possible, cause the Emulator slows down the browser, only the real on device test would bring results. Testing on browserbench brings me only an fatal error while getting results, ...

The Pictures are made with Greenshot, the System is the Emulator 2.0.0b1rc1

The best thing Microsofts Internet Explorer 9 is worser than a mobile Browser :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] milli133:
Hey there! Thanks for sharing first of all. There is just one thing which is not clear to me ^^

What does the first picture show? Homescreen editor, theme changer or tab switcher of the browser?

Best regards.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] mylove90:
it shows theme switcher

good to know that new dolfin is that much powerful
[Bada Software and Hacking General] frxbg:
everything looks great but it seems again we can not switch the browser to full screen mode (like bada 1.0) or maybe I am wrong I hope:)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
i have already posted it that the address bar is like in android dolphin.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] frxbg:
sorry I have not read the other topic for some time. Can you do one more test browser (on exactly FlashLite 4) may have opened a website video "vbox7.com" (sorry it is in Bulgarian) who works with "Ajax" technology.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
yes on next sdk release, currently the flashplugin in the browser don't works correctly, it is still a beta sdk. please be patient, aslo performance test are not possible, error messages are shown after testing, on the site.

but there are also not much bugs left in the newest sdk revision, it smells like an early public version.

http://static.bada.com/releasenotes/2.0.0b1.html

this means that it deosn't work as accpected, many errors, maybe html5 will also get more features than yet, this is currently the beta 1 emulator. This would be cool, but as an alpha it supports more features than the opponents.

The older sdk 1.2.1 has more issues than 2.0 i think they wonna make it, nearly without bugs.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
DO you know if now it is possible to create folders on sd card with SDK 2.0 ..

and what about the sd card? is it still read only?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] secretwhite:
It's a good news. MAybe the public version will come first half of the July. I hope.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
@badamental yes

and the sd card isn't read only if so you would never be able to save something on it, or even delete.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] badelemental:
SD card and Phone Mem is read only Please refer http://static.bada.com/contents/doc.../basics_bada_programming/bada_file_system.htm

for read and write permissionon phone memory and SD card.

try to construct a file directly on /media/ or /storagecard/media/ in a app. your app will crash and give exception Access_violation (something like this). For Now there is a workaround to construct a file first in /Home/ folder and then move it to sd /Phone memory using content manager.And thats how we could save a file on SD card or on phone memory.

Any way i dont care about creating a file. Actually i cant find a workaround to create a folder on /Media/ or /Storagecard/Media. Thats why i am asking about write protection.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
You have understood it wrong man, yes it is read only for direct io writting, but think about, how you can download with youtube downloader videos on sd card?

You should also know that there is an extra api for such things with that you can delete, add or remove, replace content like video audio and image.

This is only for developers important not for a normal user, you can add remove blablabal files from windows or on the device. Apps must get a special api that they can use such things.

Or rather the privilege which is double testet by samsung to not hurt any personal informations. Funny you are installing apps on the sd card, replacing pictures, deleting files, renaming it, and you think it is read only.

It is a little bit complicated but i have no time to explain you how to develop an app in bada http://static.bada.com/contents/doc...rk/classOsp_1_1Content_1_1ContentManager.html

the content privilege is needet for the whole namespace

http://static.bada.com/contents/docs/apis/bada-V1.0.0a3/framework/namespaceOsp_1_1Content.html

The restrictions you posted are related to apps, they must be better programmed to use such functions.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] milli133:
Do we know something about text reflow?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
yes there is text wrapping as option in the other topic you can see a picture, should give you the answer i hope.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] MiAmRA:
This is really great. :)

Thanks for posting the screens.

btw do you know if it also has a 3D carrousel when you want to switch between different website that you running in the background?
[Bada Software and Hacking General] milli133:
I think I heared that this carousel is also used for tab switching. Searching... :)

EDIT:

There we go :D
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
yes definitely already implemented.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] saghlam:
looks great tbh,

but when when when ? hope we will not wait for another 6 months..
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
what about fullscreen navigation in new Dolfin X? the hateful lower and upper bars were finally removed as in Dolfin 2.0 or not (as Dolfin 2.2)?

thanks for your reply! :)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
look at third post beyond yours.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] guari:
ehm...I've looked at the whole thread before posting, you say:

- New UI like Android Dolphin (Address bar is always on sites Top)

ok, so the upper bar is not a problem but the lower bar? if I look at your screenshots I should say: 'No, the new DolfinX doesn't support fullscreen browsing yet', instead If I consider your comparison with the UI of Android Dolphin I should say: 'Yes, finally the new Dolfin runs in fullscreen mode and it's great', so what is the right one? :)

(the gui in your screenshot looks identical to the old one and not like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NCR8aW27xQ)
[Bada Software and Hacking General] larioteo:
a internal man said that this can be hidden the buttom bar, but i cannot test it, i have no access to full dolfin where you can change the settings, only the called one which is opening links from apps. It is a minimal version for such things.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] robavila721:
recently my phone ran out of battery and when i connected to a power source and turned it on only to have it boot into recovery and in recovery gave me the error cant mount e:/cache, tried to do a nandroid and it wouldnt let me, then after a couple of reboots it booted into the rom, now every time i restart my phone it goes into recovery and does the same thing, i updated to the newest Internal recovery, but it still does the same thing. Any Ideas of what it could be?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sincest:
sounds like what happened to my first phone, probably ended up wiping all your internal partitions , had to go in parted with adb shell and recreate all the 8 partitions on the internal memory to be able to flash anything on the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] robavila721:
how would i go about that, right now its working fine, but then i havent had to reboot it, my vibrant was alot easier to deal with with odin lol
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifelessRaptor:
I was trying to unlock the bootloader in my Atrix but I can't seem to get the fastboot to work.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. The adb works perfectly and when I run the fastboot command it gives me the list of syntax for it but when I try "./fastboot devices" it doesn't return anything. If I use sudo then it goes down to a new line and freezes. I'm assuming I need to edit something in rules.d but I don’t know how to get the proper information.

Any help would be great.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2dcour:
is your phone in fastboot mode? adb reboot fastboot
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dennis_:
If it freezes at devices it can't see you phone. Make sure your phone says it started fastboot. Hold volume down while booting. When it says fastboot on the phone press volume up.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifelessRaptor:
Well I tried running the unlock in fastboot mode last night.

./fastboot oem unlock

Waiting for devices.

That was as far as I got. My phone was in fastboot mode but it just wouldn't recognize it. I saw some other posts about it saying things about adding to rules.d but I need the right information for my phone.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
I didn't see a thread for the Crackle app from Sony that is free in the Market. This app gives you access to a lot of free movies and television shows. I have it installed on both of my gTabs (one running VEGAn 5.1.1 and the other running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (stable)) and it runs great. I have noticed that during some times of the day it seems that the network connection between Crackle's servers and my house come to almost a crawl. Other than that it's another great free way to watch movies and t.v. shows on our gTabs.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aasoror:
Can you please share the latest version of the apk, all searches outside US gives us the 1.0 version (which don't run on the gtab).

TIA
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
Here it is.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aasoror:
Works like a charm.

Thanks,
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] chucket:
works here too

I just loaded it on my gTab, with Ginger Edition, and seems to work like a charm. Thanks!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] stsrep:
I'm runnuing BOS from Roe with the latest edition and this will load and install.

Had audio for a while and no video.

Now nothing but a white screen when I hit the watch now button for Silverado which was the first movie listed.

How's this supposed to work-download the movie or is it streaming etc??

Saw a add to Que but don't know how this works.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
I've never ran that ROM so I can only speak to my experience with a gTab running CM 7.0.3.

It streams the video like Netflix/Hulu/Fox TV, it doesn't download it like the BlockBuster app.

Like I said on my original post, at certain times of the day or with certain videos it seems the network connection is super slow which can lead to white or black screens with only audio as the app is trying to buffer the video. Try it when you have the best WiFi connection possible. When at home I have 12 mb downstream and it plays fine for me 90% of the time.

As for the queue, it's just that, a queue like on Hulu. It's sort of a playlist so if you have several shows or movies in your queue they will play one after the other automatically.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] stsrep:
Well I'll try again and thanks for the info.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] scyld:
I must say, I'm pretty unimpressed with it. Its organization is a mess, and it looks like it just has rather unpopular shows and movies on it.

I might be wrong. But it seems to me that I'm sticking with Netflix for the time being.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Radon_22:
Some of us are too cheap to pay for Netflix. ;)

It's still got a few decent movies on there, and Seinfield and Married w/Children are a hoot for quick watching. It's at least worth a download, even if you only watch a couple of movies and uninstall it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] midnightslide:
Pretty awesome :) Running G-Harmony and watching Ghostbusters as I type this! Thanks for posting!!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] FlipMarc:
Thanks OP :cool: Great App. Works great on my GTablet and Droid X phone :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] cbay:
LOL Seinfeld and MwC...what else does one need :)

Works great on TNT Lite 4.4
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] luvduchovny:
It sounds like Crackle is using Flash. And it's a well known issue that flash only kind of works in Bottle of Smoke. Flash will play audio but not video. Knowing this I will not bother trying to install this on my tablet which is running GTabComb (which is a 1.1 bootloader derivative of BOS). The only reason YouTube app works on BOS is because it is probably using html5 instead of flash in the app.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] dell707:
Could you u post the latest version?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sjmoreno:
I would if I could find where the apk was saved to. I didn't find it in the usual \data\apps folder like all of my other apks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Sharpe351:
Like this app. Just watched Resident Evil. Good flick.
[Acer Iconia A500] rontopia:
I have a couple of quick questions. Firgive if already asked.

Why are the markets so different? Many of the appa I use on my phone are not there. For instamce I can't find words with friends. I did some google searching but could not fine the apk.. any help with that, I would be thankful.

I like the tablet just lots to get use to.

If I wanted to read about rooting this device what's the best site? Instructions. The only reason I would want to root is to get the real market ..
[Acer Iconia A500] JdgM3NT4L:
Sometimes it is because the apps aren't compatible. Other times the reason is hard to figure, because they work fine as they are.

One thing that you might try is to grab the app (.apk) from your phone and move it using something like a Dropbox app, or a simple file transfer through your pc would work too.
[Acer Iconia A500] rontopia:
first things first. I need to find the apk. Do you happen to know where i might find it? There must be a repo of some sort somewhere?

I relly like the device tho. Seems a little disorganized ... maybe thats true of android as a whlole. Not Android s fault but manufacturers not sticking to the spec?

Anyway. Thanks for the help
[Acer Iconia A500] interqd:
if your phone rooted, u can install the app and grab pk from /data/app
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
could think of a few ways

Most devs have a web page for their product out there somewhere - a lot of them will offer the .apk for you to download there. You can also try browsing the android market via web browser or trying one of the many external markets available (Appbrain/Amazon are great!)

Hope that helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] Dalrimple:
Hmm... I have words with friends, and it coordinates with my account on my Droid, up to date... I have no advice, but wanted to say it works great.. was on the market for the tablet for Me... still is I just checked.
[Acer Iconia A500] lord_voldemort666:
I find the web version of android market to be wayyyy better than the app...

I have the stock lancher apk called launcher2.apk it works but because the resolution is diff the app drawer is off is there a version of this app that's redesigned for the sensations resolution ... Don't wanna use Lp+ or adw

I know you said you didnt want to use lp+ but why not? i use it and have mine looking exactly like stock gingerbread launcher but with better widgets :)
[HTC Sensation] evo9mrjr:
It's not the same launcher is really basic and light
[HTC Sensation] cdstewart:
use HeLauncher

really basic, fast and can change dock from froyo to gingerbread to sense

Edit: after trying it out on the sensation is seems that the app drawer is particularly laggy :/
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathon2011:
I woke up this morning and could not get the display to change. I normally have auto rotate on but nothing happenes when i turn the phone. The only way i can get the display to change back is to uncheck auto rotate. Iv tried pretty much everything except a factory reset which id rather not. I have insurance but this is a pretty minor claim. Anyone that could help id love to hear from you.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It sounds like the accelerometer might have failed. There's a calibration tool built in that you can run to see if it's responsive there. It shows two bubble level indicators. There are also apps that have similar display information. If they don't move when you move the phone around, then accelerometer may have died and you need to exchange.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] androidbuff:
have you tried the htc auto rotate widget?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathon2011:
Yep, thats what i thought. The sensor isnt picking up anything using both the stock app and a third party one. Im on my way to Verizon right now. Good thing i have insurance :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathon2011:
Just an update on all of this, just returned from Verizon store after a nice birthday dinner, i started talking to a rep who didn't know what a g-sensor or anything else for that matter was. After explaining in extremely simple detail what its function was the man said that i was wrong and that my phone infact didnt have one of those sensors. I immediately requested to see a manager. This manager also happened to own a Droid incredible 2.. this is the best part, he said this was a brand new phone

With SENSE 3.0! After that i just walked out of the store. So ill be calling a service department im the morning. You would think if you work at the store you would know what parts of the phone are. Sorry for the wall of text. Hopefully this gets sorted out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
There is a device called a accelerometer and there is a device called a gyroscope. The I2 has an accelerometer, but not a gyroscope. I would be careful calling it a g-sensor as, yes, it can measure g-forces, but some may assume you are referring to a gyroscope.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonathon2011:
Well I used both terms in the store to avoid confusion, but it's fine my replacement came this morning and everything works just fine.
