[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayXL14:
I'm using Cyanogenmod 7 and it's pretty damn good. What do you think is the best ROM with Gingerbread if it's more lightweight and easier on the battery? (I honestly don't think the ROM accounts for the 25% battery loss but we'll see)

MIUI or mexiDroid for me?

By the way, could it just be a bad battery? I was thinking about picking one of these up:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940263

$8 and people said it's okay.. What do you think?

Thanks, and I JUST calibrated recently, so once again I will leave phone off overnight and report.

-----------------------

As for the network issues, I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

I believe it was the Speedtest app itself that was messed up. Like I said earlier, I don't have live wallpapers (just info) on, and also NO GPS unless using Navigation.

Well, Speedtest was connecting to WICHITA, KANSAS. I AM IN NEW JERSEY. WTH??!!

Anyway, so I'm going to keep GPS (satellites) on, it connects to NJ, and Voila, GREAT SPEEDS!

HSPA about 3.5/1.0 DL/UL

HOORAY! Network problem fixed!!!

Only issue is battery still D:

Honestly, I think it may be a bad battery. Partial wake usage doesn't show any app going nuts.. Every refresh interval is like 4 hours. And I use Advanced Task Killer to kill all apps before going to bed. I downloaded "Watchdog," let's see
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barclays:
well... can't be that odd. Mine are

cell standby: 8%

Phone idle 6%

display 51% (highest)

dialer 11%

wifi 10%

....

about conn. speed. I haven't used speedtest yet but downloading speed on the phone is slower than on PC remarkably using the same internet connection
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
WiFi will always be slower than wired connection, probably about 50% if not more.

Also, what setting do you have your display on and how much would you say you use your phone/have the screen on and how often do you talk (hrs/day)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barclays:
I have auto brightness but I stay in office and not turn it on much (have to work though :) ) so the display isn't on much (when i said HIGHEST, it means highest in the list :p )

I have to phone connected to wifi all day but rarely use it

Mainly use the phone to text and talk less and 1/hr/day

Just try left the phone unused (stand by - airplane mode) for one day, drop about 20% or so
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayXL14:
Its seems like its getting a little better.. only lost 10% overnight. Guess its calibrating
[LG Optimus 3D] Bill F:
Does the Optimus 3D support USB OTG?

LG's euro site doesn't mention it.

The OMAP4430 supports it. (in fact it only has host USB ports, and USB OTG, no slave only ports)

Also it would be interesting if there was a way to solder up devices to the extra USB host interface, if it isn't already used in the phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] abo_mara7:
If the processor does support it, that would be great, but how we will enable it? What I can tell is that the Optimus 3D doesn't support usb OTG since I tried that myself.

[Android Themes] Xcor3:
I've been looking to find this launcher that I've watched on YouTube forever ago, in which I can not remember the name, to describe it, the launchers homescreen is some what minimalistic and doesn't show the status bar, when you swipe to the other homescreen it shows the weather with cloudy scene( on what I've seen). Im sorry that's all I could remember .

If anyone here knows what im talking please let me know.

Thanks in advance
[Android Themes] Chris95X8:
Many launchers have the ability to hide the status bar and as for the weather, it could have possibly been a widget. So what I'm saying here is that this information doesn't help at all.

"the launchers homescreen is some what minimalistic"

You mean the wallpaper? Or a combination or widgets and shortcuts?

The user can customize the homescreen as he/she wants so...it's impossible to find that launcher.

[HTC EVO 3D] Jeremiah239:
If you have them installed on the SD card move them to the phone then restart, that should fix it.

this happens because they are on the sd.

[Acer Iconia A500] Aneruin:
My question really is in general has anyone had any issues with the iconia and bluetooth? Specifically the Motorola keyboard that is "made for" motorola devices? Also, does anyone else have an immense amount of lag when typing in a browser (Android browser, SkyFire, Dolphin I experience it in them all)? It's pretty annoying but I'm not sure it's normal.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
The lag when typing in the browser depends on the keyboard you use....
[Acer Iconia A500] Aneruin:
It doesn't seem to matter which keyboard I use at all. Typing that I was using the Motorola keyboard but I have also used the thumb keyboard and experience lag. I get a little when I use it on my phone but it is significantly worse on the tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I can confirm thumb keyboard lags......do you experiance it with the default keyboard or t9 as well??
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
Typing with android keyboard... Lag

Typing with SlideIT keyboard... Lag

Typing with XT9 Keyboard... Lag

Typing with HP Mini USB Wireless keyboard... Lag

Typing with ancient Dell wired USB keyboard ... Lag

It seems no matter what I use, I have lag
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Where are you typing in the browser??...in the google search bar??.....it shouldnt lag on google.com
[Acer Iconia A500] Aneruin:
It doesn't lag on google.com so much as just whenever you're using a keyboard that isn't the Android stock keyboard (which obviously isn't the best or I wouldn't be using a different one) But only in the browser. It seems almost like a bad emulator...that's what it acts like anyway.
[Acer Iconia A500] vanisleguy1976:
It doesn't matter where I type in the browser... address bar, in the forums, (for example, replying to this). When I'm typing in, say, docs to go or calendar, it types smoothly, but anytime I type in the browser, there is considerable lag (somitimes 5+ seconds)
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
That's strange. I can't say I have had lag anywhere on any keyboard I have ever used on this tablet. I have the android keyboard, hackers keyboard, QQ (which is a chinese one), Swype, and the WiiControllerIME. I've also tried others and deleted them all, but I have never had lag.
[Acer Iconia A500] n1nj4dude:
im using the acer bluetooth keyboard with my iconia and i dont have any lag. i dont get any lag when using stock softkeyboard or hackers keyboard.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
I get lag only when typing in boxes such as that of quick reply on xda.....or that of captcha words.....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] nish7x:
I kinda freaked out when my phone just turned off randomly an hour back, and showed battery low icon while trying to boot back. It wouldn't charge with the power adaptor nor the USB cable. However I tried a trick which people in this forum had suggested to unbrick the device and get into download mode, and it helped me to get phone back in charging again :)

Just sharing this in case anyone encounters similar problem, so they can solve it themselves instead of going to service center.

Steps:

1. Remove battery

2. Connect charger

3. Keep power button pressed and insert battery.

Battery will begin to charge again :) Hopefully.
[Thunderbolt General] compnird:
All,

I have been unable to find a thread with this issue so I hope someone can help me.

I travel a lot and am in multiple timezones across the nation. When I receive an SMS or MMS text message it reflects the sender's time zone instead of whichever time zone I am in.

So my messages are all sorts of scattered when I hit more than 2 zones in a day. Example below:

Conversation:

Texter: 12:01 PDT - HI, How are you?

Texter: 12:02 PDT - Good to hear, Later!

Texter: 12:03 PDT - I am doing great!

Me: 3:01 EDT - I am good.

Me: 3:02 EDT - Thanks for asking, How are you?

SHOULD look like this:

Texter: 3:01 EDT - HI, How are you?

Me: 3:01 EDT - I am good.

Texter: 3:02 EDT - Good to hear, Later!

Me: 3:02 EDT - Thanks for asking, How are you?

Texter: 12:03 PDT - I am doing great!

Edit: Forgot to mention: Thunderbolt running MR2.5, BAMF 2.1
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I was in the same boat. What you need to do is set your phone to not get time/date info from the network. Set it for a specific time zone and that should fix it.
[Thunderbolt General] compnird:
Forced it into my current timezone on the east coast. I will be in Central tomorrow and Pacific on Sunday... It didn't change the times on the previously received messages so I presume that will happen on new texts.

Will see if this works. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] compnird:
This did not work for me. I forced it into whichever time zone I was in and the results were exactly the same.

Anything else I can try to show the local time on my phone when a text is received instead of when the message was sent? This did not occur in FroYo (BAMF 1.8)

Also tried Handscent with the same results.

[Acer Iconia A500] AWTrost:
You could try manually moving them over and making a symbolic link where they were originally. A pain but if its a proof of concept then an app can be made to do it.

From what I've surmized Acer (and perhaps all tablet makers) changed the name and/or file structure from that of normal android phones. App2sd expects to have the old file system. I'm not sure how app2sd works internally but the sym link thing would be a guess of top of my head.
[Acer Iconia A500] scubabear1:
yes your right but i dont have the skills to do it ill have to wait for the app if one ever is developed
[Acer Iconia A500] xda-dev2k:
for different reasons, I'd like to learn how to create symbolic links to folders. I'd like to place one in my /sdcard folder in order to point to /external_sd, this way I'll see the external sd directly when I browse the tablet with my PC, like it's possible with the virtuous_galaxy rom..

can U help?

[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
You might try using this simple method which I first posted in another thread and regarding a different subject. It might do what you want.

For anyone who wants to see the contents of their sd card on their PC and be able to copy/transfer files from one to the other, why not give this a try, it is very simple and works for my A500.

Before you start you need your A500 to be rooted and you need "USB Mount All version 1.3" from the Market cost $1.99

(1) Have your PC switched on, don't connect your A500 yet but switch the A500 on.

(2) Run USB Mount All and you will see your sd card as a "Device" named "ext_sdcard".

(3) Press the tab "Mount" next to your ext_sdcard. You will see two messages "Mount has been granted Superuser permission" and "Device successfully mounted".

(4) Press the "Menu" tab in the top Right hand corner of the screen, this opens a small box entitled "Settings". Press on "Settings" and you get 3 options, make certain all 3 options are ticked, ticking them if they are not. (The important thing is to have "Mount on Bootup" ticked"). Press the Back Arrow twice to get back to Home Page or where ever you started from.

(5) Re-boot the A500 and after it is back running connect it to your PC using mini usb connector.

(6) Now check your PC and open Windows Explorer, you will find under your A500 Device most of the folder/directories that are in /mnt/sdcard (which isn't all that relevent to this) BUT importantly you will find a folder/directory entitled "ext_sdcard" which for those of you who noticed is the exact name that "USB Mount All" called your sd card.

(7) Now use Windows Explorer to copy and paste whatever you want into the "ext_sdcard" folder.

(8) Please note that when you start to copy files you will get up a warning box stating "Do you want to copy XXXXX to your device?". You are given 2 choices (1) No skip this file or (2) Yes.

(9) Put a tick in the box at the bottom Left and click on "Yes".

(10) When finished safely disconnect your A500 from your PC and re-boot your A500.

(11) After re-boot go back into "USB Mount All", chose top Right menu and settings box and remove the tick from the 3rd option "Mount on Bootup". Each time you are going to copy, move or delete files first of all put the tick back in the 3rd box and when you're done take it out.

Your Done. If you use any File Explorer to look at /mnt/external_sd you will see all the files residing on your sd card including those you've just copied.

I haven't tried it, but it probably can, so long as you also flash Clem's HC kernel. Some of the drivers might not be there though, like wifi.

Ok, I nvflashed back to 1.2, installed adamcomb. wifi works. I'll start testing other things.

[G Tablet General] MicroChip:
As I suspected, adding pershoot kernel killed wifi. I know which files to move and from where, but will test that later or in the morning.

Once I have that, I don't mind packaging as a rom but could use a little advice (or a wiki somewhere) on how to take the rom, copy pershoot's kernel to it, sort out the meta-inf's or whatever I have to do to get it to install kernel, and rezip it.

If anybody can help me there, I'm willing to start maintaining this rom...

Meanwhile, our friendly developer tlbardelljr just ported some features from this rom to the Flashback rev 5.3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138100. However, I hope (perhaps many would agree) that you would continue your path. It is fun and educational anyway.

[G Tablet General] mydave1:
Great idea. Your works are much appreciated by a great many.

Dave
[G Tablet General] MicroChip:
As I hoped, Zhyong got it done. He's way ahead of me in terms of knowledge and putting roms together.

I found that using Adamcomb by itself didn't cause sleep of death, but when I added pershoot kernel, I got sleep of death and couldn't sort that out. Going to play with Zhyong's bl1.1 and 1.2 versions and try to see how he did it.

His roms based on Adamcomb are in the Rom dev forum here and it's his 3.0.

MC
[G Tablet General] schettj:
Sleep of death is usually due to undervolting. Pershoot's kernel does that. Some tegra-2 cpus can undervolt lower than others. If yours can't, the "sleep of death" is the result.
[G Tablet General] MicroChip:
Possibly, but it only happens with bl1.2 roms, and not bl1.1 roms. I'm pretty sure zhyong used the same adamcomb base, and pershoot kernel, and made one for bl1.1 and one for bl1.2 and I installed and got no sleep of death on 1.1. I'll try his 1.2 and see if the result is the same.

It would possibly make sense as I think originally roebeet built his 1.2 honeycomb roms with clemsyn kernel and switched to pershoot around his version 4 or 5 and before that I didn't have sod, but even now, if I take adamcomb and put clemsyn kernel on 1.2, I get sod. It definitely seems bl 1.2 related, though I know some people have the problem and some don't.

MC
[G Tablet General] ramerco:
GtabComb is basically a direct port of AdamComb, but with some very useful gTab optimizations. In my (limited) testing it is fully compatible with other Pershoot kernels as well.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fishfoot:
Hey Guys,

I did some work on an Incredible this past weekend and was really impressed with how seamless the installation of of CWM was and how simple it was to backup the rom and install CM7. I'd like the same ease of use for my Nook Color but I can't seem to get CWM to work when I "reboot to recovery". I can try it from the power button menu or from RomManager itself. As such there's no "one touch upgrade" for me and I need an SD card in order to upgrade the system.

For me, this isn't the end of the world but I'm setting up my friend and I'd like him to be able to keep his system current when good important updates come out.

I'm on CM7.0.0-encore. (I know, time to upgrade... I'm working on it :) )

Thanks

What happens when you try to re-flash CWM?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pk74:
I also have a Dinc, flashed it to CM7 first, and it took me a few tries to realize its a slightly different process on the NC. I had to open RomManager, choose my device (Color Nook is in the list, scroll!), and flash the recovery actually onto the device. I believe on the Dinc, it prompted me to do that when I first opened RM - not so on the NC.

Now, it behaves just like the Dinc - still easier to get into recovery by using the menus and rebooting into it, than getting the right key combos to work.
