[Galaxy S I9000 General] NightOrchid:
Many thanks for both replies...

Ill remove the update and report back., but give me a few days though :).

There are many threads all over the web about this Google Maps problem, but ill have a look at the ROMs Thanks.

I did buy this phone pre-owned and just replaced the battery (official Samsung 1500mah one), but its still drinking it.

My HTC Wildfire got 5 days out of its battery with the settings above, to be fair, now that SamsungApps are buying up android apps such as Angry birds, accuweather & clock, Sms widgets & news.. I wonder if I need android at all.

A few questions..

Do I need "Use Wireless Networks" switched on for the phone itself. I have read of folk using GPS ON instead.

I do realise that google android powers the phone so dumping their maps may affect the phone & sms itself, but Is there an alternative to Google Maps, which whern active might deactivate theirs.

Thanks

Night

Thanks Devenblue4u.... sorry, you were typing as I was replying.. hehe. Will definetly try this because ReChild App Killer isnt that good.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] NightOrchid:
Ok, Ran a few battery tests and using the settings in my OP, I also turned off "Use Wireless Networks" and got the Battery to 3days, 17hours, which is good.

I did try the Autostarts app as well, but it kept locking uyp and resetting my phone.

I uninstalled Googles update, but that didnt help.

TO test I.. Force stop all the 3 instances of google Maps > Clear maps Cache > Turn off Wireless Networks, and this seems to stop Maps from searching my position.

Although this solves my battery issue, which is great.. It does just become a Samsung Wave, which means, I have to turn it all back on again to do any of the Galaxys good stuff, which makes me wonder if im not crippling my phone.

Any thoughts from anyone would be great

Cheers

As suggested m8, flash another rom, look for something that has good reports in the thread comments, jvq as mentioned.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Quatrix:
NightOrchid, there's nothing wrong with your phone. It's a bug in Google Maps since 5.4.0. If you check the user reviews on Android Market, you'll see that many people have the same problem. Mine also uses a chunk of the battery when I don't even use it. The phone reports that it keeps using the GPS with Latitude turned off. I have to force-stop it twice after restarting the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Uncheck the network location and kill the Map's Network Location Service from running apps.

This worked for me on JVQ, Maps 5.7 (modded version for world navigation)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mawardi:
Try Autorun Manager if Autostarts failed. In Advanced mode, you can search for Maps and disable event triggers like startup, application removed, replaced and installed. And if it's running as service, don't kill it by task killer, use the built-in one, just force stop and you'll be okay.

I can only wonder if Angdroid is really going to backup what he said in that post. I also wonder if he is planning on using 2ndinit to make an actual AOSP rom or an AOSP-like rom, as the previous fission builds were.

If this proves worthy I could actually consider the new fission rom as a daily driver.
[Droid X General] bigshotrob22:
From what I read he's "supposed" to use the 2nd init but who knows. I cant believe there hasnt been any custom AOSP Roms. I know Jrummy is almost done with one but I thought we would have a bunch of AOSP Roms by now.

HTC dialer have great search like when u search Mr Mike Scofield.

u need tap only 676459 and it will show

Mr Mike

Scofield.

In SGSII dialer, it wont show Mr Mike if u type 676459. because the contact(Mr Mike) have a space.

I am about to get a replacement Captivate from AT&T. What is the best way to transfer my apps, data and files to the new phone if both are stock firmware?

with thanks
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
Use back up apps like My Backup Root and of course Titanium Backup is a must have...then move all of that data off of your phone to your PC.

When you get your new phone transfer the data folders back to their original spot on the phone from your PC and install the same apps you backed up with from the market and start restoring.

Restore app data but not system data.
[Captivate General] javi80:
Is there anyway to do this without rooting?
[Captivate General] KonaZXIII:
The best/easiest way is to root.

It can be done w/o but more work involved and it takes longer (think manually reinstalling each backed up app one at a time from the market).

No root required - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result

Wit that said, it's fairly easy to unroot or return to stock so it can be turned in to at&t.
[Captivate General] javi80:
ok this sounds like what I needed thanks. Can you point me to more info on rooting / unrooting

Hi team,

First post so be kind.

I did post this on an andriod forum and someone suggested I come here.

I've had a HTC Sensation for a while, since first released. After around 2 weeks of getting it I was experiencing an issue with the screen not being very responsive. Difficult to unlock, text, answer calls! It's sooo annoying. Luckily I had my phone swap not problem by Vodafone. Now it's been around 4 weeks now since getting my replacement and just yesterday I've started with the same f-ing problem!

I've tried the usual stuff, clean screen, clear cache, kill programs, remove battery.

Anyone else having problems like this?

I can't bloody answer calls !

My advice, discharge till it dies, put it on charge from USB port, don't touch it till it's fully charged. Might fix it.

Oh, btw, welcome to XDA. :)
[HTC Sensation] Kenman345:
I noticed the same problems. I am getting the same issue i had on my Droid Incredible where if i am not holding the device and its on a table, i cant seem to unlock it. I've been draining the battery down to 2% or less before recharging it each night i've had the phone and nothing has changed relating to this issue. I think it's just something that if a lot of people complain about, HTC will try to make some software changes in an update to address the issue somehow.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shady108:
ok guys heres what I have done:

1) ive rooted my phone using Superoneclick

That worked fine....

2) Next I have installed Root Explorer

3) I have installed Xrecovery - xrec given super user to my folders( i tried the other one you guys suggest but it kept asking me for which phone i had and mine wasnt listed (x10 mini pro)

4) Next I downloaded and put the ROms onto my sdcard

I put on Srom-2.2.1 Froyo-v8.zip, slade87_MiniCm7_v15.0.zip (and the CM6 one), robynten.zip and Andread 2.2.1 pro v4.zip

5) Ive gone into XREC after Sony Logo and installed one of the ROMS

6) rebooted phone, either stuck on splash screen or in a loop

7) gone back into XREC and tried a different ROM

8) same problem!

tried all the ROMS, none of them will boot up my phone...

According to Superoneclick im rooted ok, even tried reformatting card and doing again...

None of these work...

Any ideas where I am going wrong here?

would appreciate any help
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shady108:
pulling my hair out

seriously guys whats going wrong?

ive reinstalled the rom from sony update service and started again completely from scratch...

I have done this -

Root : Automate Installation

1. Download attached file "SuperOneClick".

2. Enable "USB Debug".

3. Connect phone to "PC" and select "Charge Phone".

4. Open "SuperOneClick" and select "Root".

5. Wait!

6. When it is done, reboot.

xRecovery : Manual Installation

- Phone must be rooted

- Download and install Titanium Backup. Run it and press Problems to install busybox or you can install standalone busybox in market !

- Download attached file and unpack the recovery package in to sdcard

- Use Root Explorer to remount /system rw

- Copy the content of the package (3 files) into /system/bin folder

- Chmod 777 for 3 files copied !

How to use xRecovery :

- Reboot your phone !

- Press BACK button few times right after white SE logo appears.

- Use VOLUME-UP and VOLUME-DOWN to browse, HOME to select, BACK to go back.

Ive done exactly as above and gone into XREC and installed the CM6 V5-XRECOVERY ROM and the phone is stuck on the splash screen

im pulling my hair out now as ive followed that guide exactly with a ROM which everyone says is stable

I have an X10 mini pro phone, all rooted, correct permissions and cant get it to boot with any of these custom roms :(

please help guys ill buy u beer! lol

Hello

This is the info from the service menu:

phone software version: 1235-3411_2.1.1.A.0.6

File system: World-1-8_2.1.1.A.0.6

The ROM you linked to is the one I tried to install, i believe there is one the says for XREC and one that says for CWM

I didnt manage to get either to work and infact after installing one ROM instead of back button taking me into XREC program, it then took me into the CWM Recovery so i guess the ROM also installs that?

I will try to install this ROM you linked again, is this for 2.1.1.A.0.6 and XREC or is it for CWM?

thank you
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Deleted member 3979716:
It's for xrecovery, yes, the rom installs CWM 3.2.0.0 instead of xrecovery, but xrec and CWM are kinda the same, so it shouldn't be a problem

hi galvic

just doing that now, im away on holiday in a few hours so ill finish it when i get back

ive been through this process quite a lot now so i think im missing something. Ill have a reread through the guides and see if i did miss anything

My whole reason for updating is because my screen isnt rotating. It is stuck in landscape mode (some apps like pinball play in portrait though?)

I downloaded some calibration apps and it shows the phone is rotating on x y and z but the software doesnt rotate(the option is ticked in settings)

Is there a sensor for the keyboard opening and closing? maybe i have a hardware issue?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] galvic:
If its a hardware issue than stock 2.1 shouldnt work? Is it working correctly???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eyama:
you need to have right Baseband version

Most of all rom need M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015 baseband version and 2.1.1.A.0.6 frimware.

For SonyBread same basedand version and new 2.1.1.C.0.0 frimware.

i think that's why you have problem with keyboard and sensor.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] shady108:
half fixed :)

sorry for late replies ive been on holiday :)

retried everything and still was stuck on the "slide keyboard back to continue" message

finally got the latest Andread rom to work

my screen doesnt rotate (the reason i wanted to update in first place)

Im assuming theres a hardware fault with the keyboard not being detected as nothing happens when i slide the keyboard

thanks for all your help going to stick with this andread 2.2.9 pro v8

So far I have learned how to make a USB host cable and a universal charging cable. I have shared this in a few post but I figured it would be good to have them all in one place with a diagram.

I will update this drawing as I learn how to build the other cables.

Thanks goes out to pokey9000 for sharing how to do the USB host and nudging me the right way for figuring out the charging!

Update:

I guess the titles of each is not enough to properly relay what each does so here is a quick description of each.

1. USB Host - Puts the Tab into host mode so that you can use items like thumb drives and keyboards. If you want to use a USB powered hard drive, you will need to use a powered hub.

2. USB Host w/ Power - Puts the Tab into host mode but also allows you to charge the unit at the same time.

3. Universal Charging - For making a 30-pin cable that will let you charge your Tab off any 5V source so that you don't get the red X over the battery. When doing this, data transfers will not work.

4. Universal Charging Inline cable - For if you don't want to buy a 30pin connector or cut up your OEM cable, you can put this in line with your OEM cable and use any 5V source.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] dwa012:
do you have a picture of a real example of the USB host w/power
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ericlmccormick:
Not yet. I haven't built the USB host cable myself as my connectors are in the mail. I built that diagram from a mixture of what pokey9000 discovered plus what the pin outs are for the OEM cable.

Hopefully by the end of the week I will get the connector and will build this into a project enclosure which will also have a switch to change this between charge only, USB slave and USB host.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] thatdude90210:
Cool. Seems like it would be easier to just grab a few of these cables, cut the cable and connect rather than soldering to the naked connectors from Kineteka.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ericlmccormick:
Mostly likely, like the OEM cable, the connector is not fully populated. You would be able to easily make a charge only cable the will charge off anything, but to do other things like USB hosting, you need another pin, or rearrange the pins that are there which are probably a pain to do too.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] thatdude90210:
Ah, true. Most likely lot of those pins don't have wires connected.

First off, thanks for this awesome discovery ! ;)

But I've still got some questions..

what is the difference between the usb host and the usb host w. charging?

And what should the universal charger do?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] ericlmccormick:
The USB host should be pretty much the same as the OEM dongle. The host with power should allow you to charge the unit when also attached to a power supply. I have not tested this but I expect should work without a problem. The reason people might just opt to not have the power is to make a smaller package.

The universal charge cable puts the unit into charge mode no matter what your 5VDC power source is. Without this, you must use the OEM charger (or aftermarket adapter) else get a red X over the battery.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jeffcrilly:
Anyone know if it would be possible to hack a USB port into the multimedia-dock? It has the 30pin male and female.. probably passthru.. I've yet to take it apart (I suspect there are screws on the bottom). Anyhow I figure the dock should work with the USB adapter, so maybe all the wires are there inside the base. Then it would just be a matter of adding a female USB (with appropriate resistor). And possibly this would allow charging, audio, etc WITH USB attached. Best part is that multimedia docks are available at local bestbuy, etc.

alternatively, i'm considering a keyboard <sigh>.. but only if usb host mode works with it.
