[HTC Sensation] odyoda:
Hey all, been on the forums a long time without much in the way of posting, but thought I would share some numbers with you all to see if others are in the same boat...

I love the Sensation, but I am highly looking forward to S-Off and rooting to get rid of Sense (Sure it's cool, but it's not THAT cool). However, I don't think that custom ROMs will help with my battery, as the major (read HOLY COW) drain on my MAh is from the Screen.

Currently:

Battery Level: 80%

Time on Battery: 3h 40m 41s

Display on: 48m 28s

Percent of Drain:

Display: 80%

Cell Standby: 8% (Time on: 3h 40m, W/out Signal = 16%)

Phone Idle: 6% (2h 51m 13s)

Wi-Fi: 4% (1h 25m 45s)

Voice Calls: 3% (50 seconds)

This is a pretty standard breakdown of my phone on a normal day by lunch.

The math itself becomes pretty easy:

Display = 80% of 20% = 16% of the battery over the course of 48 minutes (rounded down for easy math).

This means that every 3 minutes the display is on, I drop 1% of battery. That is 5mAH per minute. Mind you, this is with brightness set at 0%... When backlight is on at 100%, it goes to about 1% drop in every 2 minutes. (Unless I'm actually doing something and then i can drop almost 1%/minute)

This means to me that, if you are doing NOTHING on your phone, but have the screen turned on with 0% backlight, you will get 300 minutes, or 5 hours. That doesn't seem so bad, but if you are actually doing something on your phone (watching video, using any of the radios, etc.), you will get between 1-3 hours of usage.

This seems a little insane to me, as I am able to watch more than two full length feature films on my iPod Touch before the battery is anywhere NEAR drained.

How do these numbers stack up with what you all have experienced.

P.S. I know there are other battery discussions, but they all seem to be centered on extending battery life, which this is not. It is a simple discussion of the displays drain.
[HTC Sensation] Firefall!:
There's a problem: Your computing with 101% total :) Just kidding. I don't think the measurements are very accurate. For example, it showed me that 3% of my battery drain was due to the Dice application. Well, I rolled the dice about 3 times. Should not exactly drain that much... Now let me show you some other math: The Sensation battery has 1580 mah. There are various tools that will show you the current drain in ma. Dividing mah by ma leaves you with h, i.e. hours. Yesterday, I did the following: Turned on Wifi Access Point, Bluetooth, GPS, Mobile data connection, Music player, display @ max brightness and LED flash, plus me swiping the homescreens around for some time. The drain reached a peak of 900 ma. You will find 1580 / 900 = 1.75 which is already close to 2 hours for which you could do such funny things :) When watching a video, your power consumption will be much less (The flahs alone is like ~200 ma). I think you will get 4-5 hours with a moderate brightness setting and headphones if you're not streaming over WiFi or something. Try it out and tell us!
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Hey guys,

I love my Charge, but do wish the earpiece volume was louder. Anyone know of an app hack/fix that can increase handset earpiece volume?
[Verizon Droid Charge] aznxk3vi17:
Which is it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsitalon1:
Oops, haha, fixed the OP.

I want the earpiece louder if possible. Either through app or developer hack.

Is this possible?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DKYang:
Really? My earpiece is loud already. If I put it on max, people around me would be able to hear my conversation.

It is possible. I believe it was done on the Vibrant or maybe it was the G1. I'm pretty sure it was the Vibrant though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
Voodoo sounds seems louder to me but you need to be rooted and with a supporting kernel for that to work(I think) I did see some apps on the market but not sure if they work or not
[Android Software Development] stevew84:
I have a MT4G and I'm using the Cyanogenmod rooting technique. I'm at the part where i'm pushing certain files to the /data/local path.

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/

adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/

adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local/tmp/

adb push root_psn /data/local/tmp/

adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/

adb push su /sdcard/

adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

When i get to "root_psn", I get the error that I cannot push due to being read only...I dont understand because this is the same path as the rest of the files, and I have no problem with them.

I don't want to go any further until I know what's going on.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Are you sure your not just running out of space on your data partition?
[Android Software Development] stevew84:
It was actually a mistake on my part. I was typing only /data/tmp for some reason...

Anyway, I moved on from there, having trouble here:

adb push su /sdcard/

failed to copy 'su' to /sdcard//su': permission denied

Same error goes for Superuser.apk, and once i get into the adb shell I get permission errors for /data/local/tmp/psneuter.

I didnt go any further than this. My phone is still fine, I also do NOT have visionary installed. I also got rid of the superuser app that was already on my phone.

Kind of stuck.
[Android Software Development] stevew84:
ugh, wtf. More trouble.

Moved passed the previous error, now i have a new one:

./gfree -f -b hboot-eng.img -y recovery.img

"Error opening backup file"

I tried the next step, then get the error saying how Superuser.spk and SU cannot be found. I placed them directly on the SD card via usb cable since I got the error of write protected SD card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ninestraycats:
Some Aria users report low in-call & speakerphone volume. I personally keep my volume at max, use CM's DSP manager to boost the speaker volume maximally, and press the phone hard against my ear. Even with the windows up, the sound of the car is enough to make it very hard to hear.

I have to believe there is a way to overdrive the speaker... at least for me, even w/maximal volume settings, there is no crackle. It's as if the speakerphone is barely utilized.

On XDA I've found two relevant threads: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15406689 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15406735
[HTC Aria Android Development] churapa:
Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13811632

First, you have to disable or uninstall DSP manager, they don't get along well.

Just in case, I'm attaching his app (unzip the file, the apk is inside) for you to install with your favorite file manager. Enjoy your new sound boost!
[HTC Aria Android Development] bhannemann:
I just wish they would open up earpiece volume, since it is horrendously low on the Aria. I'm not sure if it's CM or what but it is too quiet on city streets.

At least now I'll hear when someone calls though, instead of finding out an hour later that my pocket silenced it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtnlion:
There are 2 different sense Rom ports by drowning child that have way louder in call volume.so to me it would seem that there would have to be a way to increase the cm7 volume in the rom itself.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bhannemann:
Funny you should mention that because it was the first thing I noticed after installing Pico :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Wow, finally a nice piece of app that does Sound Widening properly. I think I could start to forget my previous Nokia phone over that aspect now. Thanks!

But yes, regrettably earpiece volume is still too low.
[HTC Aria Android Development] unsivil_audio:
Cool app, my speaker crackles if any louder though, so I think I'll skip it as I would really like to keep the external speaker in tact.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I have downloaded this apk and installed it several times via clockworkmod, but there is no app to run on the phone after installing, nothing in sound settings to change. Please advise. Thanks!

I am running hoxnet_liberated_rc1 ROM with ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7. I don't believe that there is any DSP manager to disable in the this ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] bkmo:
The app is an apk that you have to install just like any other app and not in recovery. I also believe that it is designed for gingerbread roms. The rom you are running doesn't sound like a gingerbread rom to me.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
I'm thinking of flashing my phone with bionix-v, but was wondering which kernel I should use. On the Team Whiskey's official bionix-v page they have four compatible kernels to use. But my question is what does each of them really specialize in or do?

¤Here's the four kernels:

OverStock v1.3 by cmenard

DoW14 v1.1.1 by Morfic

Dragon v5.0 TEST1 by Ttabbal

Categorically Worthless by s0niqu3

Sent from my SGH-T959 (Vibrant)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peecs121:
I recommend Cmenards bullet kernel. There the best for speed and battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Personally if you're not planning on OCing my preference is always CwK(keep in mind that it is no longer supported by s0niqu3). If you do plan to OC my first choice is always TB.

- DOW was the first OC kernel flashed for me and I never really had any issues with it.

- Overstock is proven and stable, included in many ROMs as stock kernel and most people prefer it to others, just personal preference really. Good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] younix258:
DOW and overstock are both great, but keep in mind that while bionix lists tthose as the compatible kernels, you can use several other kernels, those are just tthe ones they recommend.

Also keep in mind that that post is very old so there are plenty of great New kernels
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FReQ Z:
When I ran Bionix, I used Overstock. I'm always a fan of cmenard's work, and that kernel ran great.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
Bullet. No question about it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xplred:
Bullet is great, you can also check out the new bali-x oc/uv capable. Have fun test em out i swear i switched kernels every 2weeks but i always get stuck on bullet kernels..just pure speed

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buchi89:
I was looking for some nice honeycomb touch for my 101. I already found a gingerbread framework wich looked very nice, however unfortunately my archos 101 gets bootloops everytime I try to install it.

I was wondering if its possible to move the buttonbar to the statusbar (with arctools maybe) and then move the bar to the bottom of the screen (as seen on honeycomb). I would also love to see the search icon removed, as its useless in my opinion.

Otherwise some help to get the framework from this post succesfully installed would be highly appreciated.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:

And i think this is possible, you have to find the right parameters in the right files..

I dont know anything about frameworks but msticninja and fisha21 should know this:)

Maybe you could pm ninja;)

We had have very much discussions about the soft buttons and or status bar:);)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buchi89:
Yeah shouldn't be too hard, as Cyanogenmod for Archos 101 has something like this already! However I will not PM anyone from this board since its a matter of respect, as I am being a newbie. I know how it feels like, if some newbie comes, demands something and already annoy some ppl. Maybe I am just being hypersensitive xD

If you want to i can pm him, we know us:):D
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
Moving the buttons to the notification bar is easy, just use urukconfig on uruk, or Arctools on stock.

I may be able to remove the search button as well by editing the virtualkeys files.

Moving the bar to the bottom though, I'll have to look into CM7 and see how they do it, but it may not be possible on froyo.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buchi89:
Thanks I am really looking forward to what you come up with!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
Thanks, ninja for joyning us!:)

Do could tell me the files?

I want to look me into tthis:)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
It looks like the virtualkeys files don't control the buttons once they've been moved to the notification bar. Not sure if I can remove buttons.

To move the bar to the bottom, CM7 did alot of java work. I can move it to the bottom, but I can't get it to expand upwards. I have to modify the logic in StatusBarService.java, particularly the performFling method on line 1159, but it's gonna be really hard. Not even sure if it will work with froyo. I'll keep trying.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
Thanks,ninja!:) You're our man for design/frameworks:);)

In java, i cant help you, just starting at the school with basic java projects...

But if there is any other thing i can help, ask!:);)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisha21:
I did try looking into this (before I got distracted by my shiny new Transformer ;) )

Once you move the buttons into the notification bar, the icons change. These new icons are found in the "drawable" folder of the framework-res.apk eg stat_sys_back_p.png. There are also associated .xml files, but these just tell the system which icon to show when the button is pressed. Haven't yet found where the appearance (order, size etc) are controlled.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
I'm still trying to duplicate the upwards fling. I've got it working sometimes, but when you hiccup or stop in mid fling, it gets stuck sometimes, usually causing a soft-reboot. See if you can find the button layout for me, I'll keep working on the bar itself.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Poopmonkey:
I recently revamped my HD2 from the stock Coutella Sense release of Android on NAND. A few weeks ago I reflashed to a CM7 Android Rom and changed my Bootloader to CLK, installed CWM and changed my splash screen as well. Now, I tried for about 4 days now to configure my MMS settings. I got them working when I had my previous rom but I cannot for the life of me to get them even though I googled and googled and re-entered my MMS setting into my phone over and over.

It just doesn't want to send. I try to send one and it just stays stuck on sending and do not see any little icon on the top of the status bar of my phone indicating that it is sending. I have come to the conclusion, that maybe CLK is to blame since it does not have RMNET. Can this be the case? Or can anyone help me with this problem?

My settings are as follows:

Name: ATT

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: <Not set>

Port: <Not set>

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com/

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: None

APN type: <Not set>
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Install a rom that your MMS does work on then go and copy the APN settings and then use them on your new rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Poopmonkey:
I really do not want to jump ship and jump from rom to rom testing settings. I mean, these settings can only work one way. I'd like some more light to be shed on this before I jump ship and go into another rom and lose all my configs from this one.

Anyone got any ideas? Did anyone have any success getting MMS to work on CLK?:(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
To me a CM6.x ROM would be the best because it would combine hardware acceleration (froyo drivers) with ability perhaps to stream netflix (only possible on CM roms afaik).

Does one exist at all?

Or any Froyo ROM that can stream netflix?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raphenucleus:
I think so. There's a link to 6.1.0-beta4 here. I've never actually tried it, so I can't say anything about it, but there's the link to it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
big ups, gonna try it
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Me too. Is there a particular kernal I can use for this ROM to really boost it even more?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EL TEJANO:
Well I tried it & the home button won't work under this rom. I also didn't like the fact that there were no options for the status bar i.e tablet tweaks.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathcipris:
CM6 is Froyo-based, correct? If so, that is the best (only) option for HD considering it is the the sole Android version that has full hardware acceleration support.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
Yeah but for some reason there is no CM6.x support, that one ROM isn't that great.

I would love any chef to cook up a good CM6 ROM that we can use.
[Nook Color General] BlindWolf8:
Hey guys,

Just as a note: the Nook Color has a 1 year warranty. Because of this, even if your Nook Color that you got off eBay (or wherever) has issues, just call (800) THE-BOOK ((800) 843-2665) and they'll replace it for you for free. They'll cross-ship it to you in a maximum of 3 days (YMMV) and you can just ship the old one back in the box that the new one comes in. They'll give you a shipping label for free and everything.

The Nook Color you get is certified pre-owned, which is good enough for me. (and CM7)

I don't know what the threshold is for them (B&N) to say "NO." (e.g., your Nook is totaled) Can anyone comment?
[Nook Color General] myersw:
One thing to add to this. I bought a Nook Color from an Ebay seller. The Nook Color was a Walmart open box return and had been registered to who ever tried it out and then returned it.

Required to calls to B&N support to get it registered. First person sounded new and would not deviate from the script. The second person I got understood the issue and got the old registration removed. I was then able to register without any issues. The seller said he had another buyer with the same problem.

Just be aware that a used/open box may already be registered and cause you issues.

--bill
[Nook Color General] BlindWolf8:
You know, I had the same thing! I called in because my SD card slot didn't work. They wanted me to verify the information they had on-file for that Nook. Even though I had registered the Nook my information wasn't in their system, which was really odd. I waited and I called back again to confirm that the older owner's info was still in there. Magically, my info was fine and in their system! They gave me the ol' chestnut about how their systems are slow to update...bah!
[Nook Color General] AidenM:
Yep. BN is really good with this. I actually screwed the power button and they replaced it. I also broke the cable 3 times and they gave me a new one each time. Also registration was down one day so I called them up and they fixed it up for me :D
[Nook Color General] BlindWolf8:
I also asked them about warranties. They mentioned that they will honor the

longer

warranty. For example, my NC's original owner bought it in November of 2010, thus the warranty expires November 2011. A pre-owned NC (which I got) gets a 90-day warranty. My replacement falls under the longer warranty. :) Sweet!
[Nook Color General] Tytanius:
The pre-owned nook has a 1-year warranty and a 90 day phone support, at least if you get it certified from B&N.
[Nook Color General] BlindWolf8:
I am assuming that's if you get a Pre-Owned Nook Color directly from Barnes & Noble. I got my Pre-Owned Nook Color as a replacement for another Nook Color so things are a little different for me. Just clarifying for others that may be reading.
[Nook Color General] pgrunwald:
I got in on the Overstock.com refirb deal and after a couple of weeks, mine got really flaky about being handled. If I touched the back of unit, 50% chance it would reboot. I called BN and they sent a new unit advanced exchange. The only thing I lost was a screen protector.

I was pretty impressed with their customer service.

YMMV,

Paul
[Nook Color General] quepaso:
I bought mine pre-owned and it was previously registered. The 2 people i talked to refused to delete the previous owners registration and refused to warranty my nook. Gave me a real sour experience for B&N.
[Nook Color General] BlindWolf8:
Sorry to hear that. You can easily overwrite that by just going through the stock registration. That will associate that NC's serial number with your B&N account, and thus you.
[Nook Color General] quepaso:
Seriously? So if i returned the nook to stock, and did the registration on it, i'd get warranty on it? I might try that if so, but would i have to re-do clockwork to get stock OS on it or can i do it from a SD card?
[Nook Color General] BlindWolf8:
Yup. Speaking of which, does anyone know of a way to run the B&N registration from a 3rd party ROM?
