dude 19hrs and still 43% left is not 3to 4 days nobody is getting over a day and im not ranting just stating facts i have the phone too all im saying is your phone battery is not going to last under heavy use like cell phone back in the day now thats it all that stuff you posted dont mean nothing you went around and copy paste everbody **** to prove to me nothing there still not getting over a full day under heavy use also if i go cut off a bunch of stuff of course im going to get a little more but if you use your phone with out all the tricks like stop sync or anything else it wont last the phone came that way meaning it should last without cutting off anything but it dont you have to make sacrifices for it to last none of those pics showed 2days somebody said 2days but like you said pics is worth a 1000 words
[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
Perhaps you forgot your own words

.. you never said "heavy use". I was pointing out multiple examples showing use beyond 1 day, sometimes much more.

1d16hours and still showed 30% battery http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=652301&d=1310457931... pretty simple math, but let me help you predict the battery life based on those 2 pictures

1d + 16 hours = 40 hours = 70% of ?? hours

40*100/70 =57.14 hours... = 2d 9hours and change...assuming he continued to use it in the same manner

I made it >3 days.... just never got low enough that I bothered to charge... display at 40%, 30s display timeout, background data on, auto-sync, timeriffic set up to enable disable bluetooth, etc when I'm a) at work, b) asleep (I only use BT in the car), etc, also sets airplane mode from 11p-6a (if I'm not going to take your call, why waste battery for radio??)... I spent a whopping 5 minutes configuring Timeriffic .. a major "sacrifice" indeed..... so it can be done.. and easily.. but you have to divert your energy from complaining to doing...

Just took it off the charger.. will report back in 2-3 days ;)
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
ok you win but me i use my phone almost every minute of the day if i start off the day fully charge lets say 7am by 4pm im ready to charge now even thow im ready to charge my battery say i have about 40% when i see that im off to charge the phone, it dont take that long to charge anyway its just 40% is not battery to me i like to see 60 and over again i use my phone every second of the day surfing the net or playing music ,games or checking twitter all my sync are on so if any of these people using they phone like me and getting 2days tell me how i get 1 day if i dont use it normally
[HTC Sensation] secano:
All I know is that current widget AND Battery monitor widget do not display the accurate mA when draining.
[HTC Sensation] NRGZ28:
You're clearly been proven wrong several times. I'd quit arguing about it if I were you.

I can get 2 days of use EASILY, if I rarely use it, 2-3 calls a day AND NO BACKGROUND syncing.

Not everybody needs to sync that "big ass clock" or their "social networks". Keep that in mind when arguing with people.

p.s. Not everbody uses their phone "every minute of the day" like you :)
[HTC Sensation] pr0x2:
when I first got the phone I was gutted about the battery life. The battery would die on me in about 8 hours.

Now in about 10 days the battery is way better than in the beginning. I can spend the whole day and when it's time to charge it I still got like 15% left.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
that talk been over with and you dont get 2days so again it is what it is good for you if that what you want to here ill have cookies later
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
2 to 3 calls a day then what the hell you got the phone for remember you said if you dont use it ofcourse if you dont use it you will get more but i didnt buy a phone to not use it
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Buddy...he said "if". Key WORD, right there.
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
i barely get a day out of my phone under heavy use. but who dont use there phone heavy meaning taking calls,playing games,checking emails etc. i thought thats what its for
[HTC Sensation] SplitCold:
People can still use there phone a lot and not play games, Xbox360/PS3/PC games are much better... These phone games feel like a 10 year flash back when I was playing them on the computer browser.
[HTC Sensation] PSH1138:
239-274 mA @ idle polling every 30 sec. Did an update and it spiked to 430 mA. Most likely during a sync or something. I sync like mad, which is why my phone is dead by lunch :eek:
[HTC Sensation] daman215:
dude can you read i didnt just say games i also use the etc. mean whatever and who the hell have a xbox while there sitting on the train coming from work and need somthing to do so you play games or surf the net or again what ever and since when did a cell phone game ever look better than a console game never you sound stupid to me
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
yeah, i am with you. current widget on the hd2 was the bible for me. i got 4-6ma regularly. Despite them claiming it is fixed and works on the Sensation, it is not giving an accurate reading. I can wait though.
[HTC Sensation] E_Waqad:
At the first few hours the consumption was 6-7-8 mAh, but, suddenly it came up to 200 - 250mAh --- it is really a very strange behavior ,,, while, I am stopping all connections with the net and using GSM only, as well, the auto sync and updates connections for all programs are manual.

I am really wondering where does that power go ????!!!!! :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Andy-D:
Well I still think there is something wrong with the reading... as I mentioned previously, as soon at the tempreture drops below 25deg the mA reading drops to justa few mA's Cant see why there should be a great difference between 24.9 c and 25.0 c.

Also if you have dual graphs for Temp and mA as soon as you put the phone on charge the temp drops.... cant be right.

So I thinkt there are still some issues with the widget.
[HTC Sensation] E_Waqad:
I think so,,,,, since I watched the battery percentage, it is falling down 0.85%/hr which sounds good, while it is a clear evidence that the 250mAh figure is totally wrong

Hello,

I installed the Coginition ROM v1.08 and changed the theme for one of my friend but now he wants to go back. He prefers the theme by default on the Cognition ROM...

How can I do this? (i didn't make a backup when changing theme :mad:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicopat:
Hi,

simply reflash the ROM.

If it is a wype Rom, you will loose everything so make a backup with backup titanium.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godzifa:
I was tinking as you said but as it's a wype ROM, it's a bit anoying to re-do a backup, etc.

I'm going to tell to my friend that he must keep this theme or change to another one.

Maybe the developper of the Cognition ROM will post theme only? Cross my fingers :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicopat:
If your theme is a CWM update.zip.

In your theme, look (using 7 zip) witch files been modified :

systenUI.apk, framework-res.apk ... (in system/app and system/framework)

open with 7-zip your origial cognition ROM and find the corresponding files.

In your theme : delete this files and replace them with originals (drag and drop)

Then reflash your new CWM theme
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godzifa:
Good idea, but I just tried that and it didn't work. I didn't have any error when restoring the original theme but no file habe been replaced.

In the zip file of the theme I previously installed, there is a folder "META-INF" with 3 files: CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, MANIFEST.MF.

I opened them and saw some lines looking like a checksum (called "SHA1-Digest").

Do you know what it is? I'm going to investigate further.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godzifa:
After some tries, I successfully restore the original theme! :)

I needed to sign my .zip.

Thanks to sicopat, designgears and Vertumus.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Okay guys, so here's a weird one.

My g-tablet was working great. Was running VEGAn-Tab Build, BETA 5.1.1, no reason to update it, because it did everything I needed. I finally had it to where I wanted it, then it all kind of started falling apart. Here's how.

I power it on and notice my home screen got all messed up for some reason (using launcher pro). All of the settings defaulted to the original. I tweaked it back to more or less how I wanted it, and when I had it back to normal, thought nothing better of it. Must have glitched out some how.

Then I notice a bunch of things starting to force close, specfically android market, amazon market, titanium backup, google services framework, launcher pro, etc. Odd thing is it would do it one at a time, but otherwise my tablet would carry on as normal.

I go ahead and restart the tablet, to see if that helps at all, and what do you know, the homescreen is messed up again! I thought launcher pro might have been the culprit, so I un-installed the app and rebooted... And launcher pro is still there.

I go ahead and delete it again and start deleting other apps, restarting the tablet, and no matter what I do, everything stays the same. time for some clockwork mod action. I go into clockwork mod, and try to do the factory reset option, thinking what the hey, I'll try anything right now. Hit it, mourn the loss of my user data, and reboot the system... and again, everything is still the same.

I hook up my tablet to the computer via usb, and it looks like I'm able to at least delete misc. files that way. But when I return to good old Tabatha (my nickname for Gtab) everything is stuck just the way it is.

Needless to say, it feels like I'm stuck in the twilight zone.

I know I should have researched it by now, but I'm going to finally look it up to see if I can recover with NVFlash (I know I know, very noobish of me, using strange roms and not knowing any of the basics).... but I'm increasingly worried I've got some kind of a hardware malfunction on my hands. Could it be the memory? The internal SD card?

Oddly enough, my tablet still functions... I can browse the web, hook it up to my computer, etc etc, but no matter what I do I can't alter the data I already have on my tablet. Can't delete things, can't change settings, update apps, etc. etc. Which makes it pretty much useless for what I wanted to use it for.

I finally realized what this is like. The movie groundhog day, and I'm stuck in the same day, over and over again.

Any help or input that might get me out of this mess would be greatly appreciated.

Phil: "I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. *That* was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get *that* day over, and over, and over..."
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
This is now the second time that I've seen this exact same problem. I was in the process of troubleshooting the original one when the user returned his gTablet for replacement. If you can stand the deja vu, read this thread.

Do not nvflash your tablet--nvflash cannot fix SD-card related problems. Read this post for why not.

Instead, do this for me: Reboot the gTablet, then open a Terminal, or, use adb and run this command:

$ dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt

Attach that dmesg.txt which will contain messages from the kernel to your next post.

I'll check this thread in the evening.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Thanks for the direction, at least I know it isn't an isolated incident. It's 1:45 AM where I am right now, and I have to wake up for work in about 5 hours... So I probably won't be able to get in depth with the follow up on this stuff untill after work tomorrow night (so long as the wife doesn't hog the computer :P)

Again thanks for the quick response, I appreciate you pointing me into some sort of direction. Can't wait to try to get this sorted out!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Currently trying to figure out how to get ADB going.... pretty intimidating, but I'm trying. I got the Java JDK installed, installing the SDK, but can't find the "SDK Setup.exe" file or even a USB driver folder in the SDK directory. Got a good resource for getting ADB set up?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Save yourself some trouble. Got to http://www.knoppix.org/ and download the latest Knoppix live CD image.

Burn it, boot it, then use the adb executable from this post. For simple things like just running adb, you don't need the entire Android SDK.

Get me a dmesg while inside ClockworkMod:

$ [B]sudo ./adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt[/B]

ADB commands documentation
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Thanks, I'll try it out sometime this weekend!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Well, I really screwed myself now. I got the Linux distro loaded but still couldn't figure out how to get ADB to work. For whatever reason, When I boot from the DVD, I can't download the zip from within linux (get errors) and I could not open the ADB command by navigating to where I have it extracted in my hard drive. [Do I need to load the OS onto a flash drive instead?]

So I started messing with some stuff in clockwork mod. I apparently really goofed it, and I got a "Magic Value Mismatch" error everytime I tried to boot it up.

I looked up Magic Value Mismatch, and from there it pointed to using NVFlash to try to fix that problem. So tried that. After I flashed it, I thought for sure I finally had it back to stock, as the intro screen started to show the tap n tap logo... but i basically got stuck in a boot loop, tap n tap, then "n", then tap n tap, then "n", etc, until it dies.

I looked up this issue and apparently the key is to get into clockwork mod and do factory reset, reset cache, and partition the SD card to 2048 and 0, which I did... (per post #4 on this thread: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/17501-helpstuck-in-bootloop/ ) but still no dice.

Not sure where to go from here, or if I can even get it to interface with ADB in its current state. Looks like I'm done for :(

Thanks for trying though
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
On second thought, I may have had a breakthrough, at least in getting ADB to see my tablet!!! Woohoo! It finally sees the device and has a serial number. Was following the device on this thread:

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/viewsonic-gtablet-technical/5377-adb-g-tab-step-step.html

7. under the "[Google.NTx86]" section, paste the following:

Code:

;NVIDIA Tegra

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7100&MI_01

save the file and exit.

But I have a 64 bit machine, so I finally figured it out and plopped that into the 64 bit portion of the .inf file. DOH!

So now let me see what I can drum up through the previous commands above.... though the parameters have changed now to be sure... Due to my haste things may have taken a turn for the worse.

To recap, now my tablet is stuck in a boot loop after having done NV Flash, after having screwed up some settings in clockwork mod trying to fix a "Magic Value Mismatch" error.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Tried:

$ dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt

I just run this in the cmd prompt at my platform-tools directory where the adb is correct?

All it says is, "The system cannot find the path specified."

Am I doing something wrong, or is my tablet that messed up?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Okay, this is slightly weird. So I was browsing around in clockwork mod, and lo and behold, the original zip flies for vegan tab are all STILL THERE. So I reloaded them... And My tablet zips back to exactly the way I had it before!

Only this time, so far no force closes. This looks way too good to be true after what I've been through. I'm going to try modifying some files and settings and restart my tablet to see what it does. I'm pretty sure I can't be out of the woods yet. Allthough it is 3:33 AM as this is happening... magic hour. I may be going insane.

EDIT: Nope, was definitely way too good to be true. All my data is as stuck as it was ever was. But at least now I can get into it again. But now we're back to square one. Lemme figure out this dmesg business and get back to you. X(
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
So I would try issuing the following exactly in the command line at the adb platform tools folder:

$ dmesg > /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt

Is that code supposed to be copy and paste in? I don't seem to be getting anything. I can do the following command and get the info to pop into the command interface:

adb shell dmesg

But I can't figure out how to save that to a text file. And you want me to do that while the g tablet is in recovery, correct?

FYI, trying to do it through Windows 7. Would that command only operate in the linux environment via knoppix?

Thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Wow, you really know you're stuff! I'll see what I can get you later on in the day with regard to the dmesg, I'm currently still at work.

I had suspected a hardware error... bummer. I'll definitely be interested in seeing if I can just use the external micro sd slot to sub out for the internal sd card. I would at least like this thing to be functional again, though I suppose I'll never be able to try any of the honeycomb roms when those get past alpha. Oh well.

Do you know if this thing takes 32 gb micro sd cards? That would be pretty awesome, I at least wouldn't feel too limited on space.

By the way, thanks for all your help on this, I know I'm a huge noob. I greatly appreciate your patience and taking the time to break everything down for me. I have absolutely zero background in programming or anything computer related, though I do find this stuff extremely fascinating! If I could rewind the clock and study this stuff in school, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Again, thanks so much, can't thank you enough.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
No, you should be able to run whatever ROM you want. I'll send you an installable zip file, in a few days, which should get you going again on Vegan-Tab, at least. You'll just need to remember to flash this zip file right after you've flashed the ROM (of your choice).

Right now, I don't know if I need one zip file for each kind of ROM in existence for the gTablet, or, if I can use some scripting and do the internal/external SD card switch using just a single installable zip file. I'll look into this on the weekend.

Yes, it does.

I was a complete noob to Android myself back in April of this year. I've picked all of this up in just a few months. I'm pretty sure you can do it too, with a bit of poking around in the system. Of course, having a background in Unix/Linux helps a lot.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Can't see any problems in that dmesg output. Time for some tests on the internal SD card.

Boot into CWM, then run on PC (on Linux run: sudo ./adb shell):

C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell[/B]
~ # [B]mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard[/B] [I] Mount internal SD card partition[/I]
~ # [B]mkdir -p /sdcard/a/b/c[/B] [I]Make a directory tree[/I]
~ # [B]echo test > /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] [I]Create a file[/I]
~ # [B]cat /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] [I]Read it back again[/I]
test [I]Correct[/I]
~ # [B]echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches[/B] Flush kernel caches
~ # [B]cat /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] Read it back again
test Correct
~ # [B]umount /sdcard[/B] [I]Unmount[/I]
~ # [B]mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard[/B] [I]Remount /sdcard[/I]
~ # [B]cat /sdcard/a/b/c/test.txt[/B] [I]Reread file[/I]
test [I]You should see "test" here[/I]
~ # [B]umount /sdcard[/B]

You should see "test" after the kernel flush and the remount.

Next, reboot the tablet--back into CWM, then run the cat command again. `cat' should output "test", again, if the SD card is OK.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Here's a screen of the commands I entered and what I got back. Did I do anything wrong? Looks like something's a bit off.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The command is umount, not unmount.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Yep, I got that, I actually edited the attachment and re-attached it hoping I could do it quickly enough so that you would not be able to catch on to my ineptitude. DOH!

Here it is again
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
I just want to confirm: This was executed while the tablet was in CWM--and not Vegan, right?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Yep, that's correct, I made sure it was in recovery before starting anything.

So based on what we're seeing, does this confirm the SD card doesn't function?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
0. Run this command the first thing after "adb shell":

~ # [B]stty -echo[/B]

It will get rid of the double echos.

1. After you rebooted in that last sequence of tests, you just ran the cat command without mounting /sdcard first. Mount /sdcard, then run cat--otherwise, that test is useless.

2. Unmount /sdcard and attach a dmesg output:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell dmesg > dmesg1.txt[/B]

3. Run the same sequence of commands, but, this time on /data instead of /sdcard.

4. Attach dmesg2.txt for this run also.

5. Output of these commands:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell ps > ps.txt[/B]
C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell lsmod > lsmod.txt[/B]
C:\SOME\PATH> [B]adb shell mount > mount.txt[/B]
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titobetlogs:
Here go.

Hope I did that right. I rebooted as per the previous sequences of tests before I provided the dmesg.txts. Hope that's what you wanted, otherwise I can do it again. I attached a screen shot of my cmd prompt so you can see what I did.

EDIT - oh by the way, the lsmod couldn't get attached. It was blank anyway.

Thanks
