[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mdpearo:
app helped my battery life

I'm new here and the TB is my first Android phone. I came across an app that has helped with my battery life..... called keyboard backlight controller. It allows you to turn off the two lights that eluminate the four soft keys on the bottom of the phone. I've only been using it a couple days, but really seems to have helped by having those lights off, not HUGE diff, but anything helps.

Not sure if this was the right place to post this, but thought it might be helpful to others. It does require root.

hi,

i tried to root my htc wildfire,

now when i reboot it it won't get pass the white HTC load screen.

i can go in Hboot menu though and i have the Clockworkmod on it through recovery .

is it broken or can it be fixed?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
im no expert but others here are and i think we need more info to help you,explain the process you followed to help us understand what if anything went wrong. have you tried flashing a custom rom ???? if you can access recovery mode download a rom ie cm7,jokerdroid or wildpuzzle then go into recovery and install from zip then choose zip and see if it loads up....... now give it time cos it could take a while. 3xeno is magic with his help so if 3xeno posts any help then follow his instructions. cheers and i hope i have been of any assistance. slymobi.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Definitely can be fixed.

Maybe little bit more helpful if u tell clearly what have you done.

Ok. Download a custom rom. Then reboot into clockworkmod recovery. Then first wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik-cache, factory reset. All these are must and can be done from recovery. If you wont do these, i think u wont get pass that logo.

After wiping and factory reset, select "install zip from sdcard". Then select "choose zip from sdcard". Then add the zip file . And that's all.

And if u have clockworkmod 3.x recovery better go with cm7 rom first in the present situation. If 3.x recovery, then select the rom android 2.3 and AOSP from below link..

And custom rom index here under section 2:

i used an other zipfile from the link you gave me and used that one to udate/instaal a custom rom, now i get past the white load screen thx very much

i have the blue android man and cyanogen mod7 under it.
[Vibrant General] swehes:
So have been thinking. As we did a pretty good #NeverAgain campaign way back to get Froyo to our Vibrants we could try a new approach.

We may be waiting for Samsung and T-mobile to come out with Gingerbread for the our Vibrants. I don't know what the chances for this is. But if they are planning on retiring the Vibrant (or already have) than there shouldn't be anything that keeps Samsung from releasing the sourcecode for the Vibrant. The good press that Samsung would get by releasing the source code (and I'm talking about the kernel) for the Vibrant, can be tremendous. If they are not planning on using it, than great if they release the source. If they do plan on releasing it, but also hand it over to the developers like the CM team, how much more grateful will we be as their power user group.

Keeping on the developers good side should be important for Samsung and the other manufacturers, as that also leads to a very happy power user group. Which in turn refers their products to their friends and families.

So just checking to see what the interest would be for us people that are left with the Vibrant would be involved in making a campaign like this to succeed?

You made some spelling mistakes :)

But yes its pointless to do that, once something is used with success it won't touch the crowd the same/losses its meaning
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
I agree. The first campaign worked because it was something new and half way legitimate. If they are working on GB for us, a year after release, I don't think we have much ground to complain. Not that you can't, feel free, but now people are starting to hit the down hill slope of looking forward to their next upgrade.

Just my opinion.

Edit: I am 'tarded
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
The Vibrant is powerful enough to maintain a long lifespan. There really are only about 2 phones I'd consider a strong enough upgrade to even consider jumping ship.

Ice Cream Sandwich isn't far away. Since it's meant to work on all devices (phones, tablets, pc's, etc)... I really hope drivers aren't the reason I can't use this phone for long time to come..

Well, that and AT&T. BOO.
[Vibrant General] joshyy_rey:
As much as we love this phone it won't live forever. We can't beg for every update

Sent from Moto Atrix
[Vibrant General] swehes:
I know we can't ask for the update. Don't really care. But we know they are sitting on the code and if they are not planning on giving us GB at least they could give us the code. Especially the kernel so that CM can get a perfectly working CM7 for the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
The problem is that if it's not finished (which is very likely) and we use the code a lot of misinformed people will complain about how we were given buggy code. Then the conspiracy theorists will assume that Samsung sabotaged the code just to get people to hate their phones and want to buy a new one.

All of this will go back to Samsung and they will be labeled as bad for not knowing how to program, or hurting development, or being evil, or ...

Perfect world they could just make all their code transparent for us all to see as soon as it happens, but they would rather be like every other company and hold out on giving out source until they feel it is ready than risk being hurt by trying to help out.

If the code was finished they would be pushing for an update. I doubt they have anything complete for the vibrant.

External mic on (Beats Studio) headphones, not working.

So no handsfree calling. Could anyone confirm please?

Is this due due to the audio issues which are already being worked on?

This ROM ROCKS!!! Insanely fast and smooth. Everything works fine but there's a couple of glitches that I've found

1) the bottom 4 navigation buttons does not rotates

2) there is a missing font from the ROM. Under the language, android keyboard - one of the language's font is missing

3) PPTP VPN is not working with Windows 2008 (Used to be working on Original HTC Sense rom and Rev rom.

Wishes

1) can we have native chinese input added to android keyboard?

Much appreciated if you can kindly look into the above mentioned.

Thanks.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing? I've been having trouble with GPS and have the same radio installed as you

Audio Settings

Although this ROM is amazing fast and working for most applications I have still some audio bugs/issues.

1. PowerAmp SRS Enhancement still not working same as DSP which doesn't effect sound.

2. UKW-Radio always switches on Bluetooth although different settings.

Radio without Bluetooth does not work.

Nice work, I hope you get the audio fixed ;-))

[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
Nope did not wipe at all.
[HTC Incredible S] John Anderton:
Wipe only if you're moving from Stock/Other ROMs. Else direct flash. Correct?

I seem go get 16-19 hours on the first 50% charge and hardly 5 hours on the last 50% O.o

Li-Ion battery usage is really supposed to be the other way around :S

Any ideas what's going on?
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
I'm currently on 72 % after 15 hours today, but I have to say apart from my auto sync use has been pretty low. Still very pleased
[HTC Incredible S] attn1:
The FM radio uses the same chip as the bluetooth, which is why it is switched on. HTC switches it on, too - they just don't tell you.

HTC style DSP is not going to work. However, CM7 style DSP does work. I know we still have some audio bugs to iron out, and we're working on them.
[HTC Incredible S] DaanJordaan:
Correct, but also when you're experiencing issues.

Try to calibrate your battery first.

Because battery life is fine for alot of users (including me). Are you sure you didn't just use it alot in the last few hours?

If you wan't to calibrate your battery, use the Google to get some anwers:)

The hands free isn't working for me in this release. It shows up as a earphone and I can listen to what people say on calls but when I speak into the phone mic or the hands free mic, the person on the other side can't hear me.

Queries are

1) Why doesn't it show up as a earphone+mic instead of just a earphone

2) Why doesn't it allow me to use the phone mic if it is detected as a earphone.

Flashing a Sense based ROM to confirm if this is an issue with my phone or with CM7 :)
