The following are some of the old kernel files on my phone :

This files are not all as this files are what still resides in my sd card. If there is a version not here and is also from v15 and up, please upload it and pm me the link so I can add it in.

Severe battery drain was reported on v18.1 so I went back to v18.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lcas:
How I go back to v18 without restore?

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ot3pch4n:
Kernel

I think you can just flash v18 over v18.1 though I haven't tried it or you can just reflash your ROM & kernel again.

I did a clean flash by the way :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lcas:
So, anyone have certain about just flash v18 over v18.1?

Tks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] killerdude:
Which App is this ??
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ot3pch4n:
Battery

^^ It is not an app but a feature of CM7 based ROMs.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] TimeWalker75a:
You're mistaken actually, it is a Gingerbread feature.

If you got to Settings> About Phone > Battery Use and tap the graph at the top you'll end up seeing the very same details page.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] digkong:
Yes u can simply flash the kernel to revert..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] teddybig:
Is 18 better than 18.1?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] antifaust:
Franco kernel v18

My experience with Franco kernel v18 is that for the first day it has bad battery drain (lasted about 12 hours) because something was preventing the phone from sleeping. After the initial run though, the phone starts sleeping again and lasts about 40-48 hours (some wifi, SMS, short calls). Didn't try 18.1.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Lcas:
what is you rom, antifaust?

Can someone post working links to v17 and v18 BFS kernels? I've seen links to these before here and there, but can't find them again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Agent3:
Awesome post (until the dl links work lol), I was looking for these. I get better battery on v18 than 18.1.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idrinkbleach:
I was wondering if there is any way to modify an apps permissions on BAMF or by using any root app. I believe cyanogenmod offers this feature and I was curious I'd BAMF or a general app could do this as well. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idrinkbleach:
Also I'm aware that you can use sdk tool to do this if you feel like extracting if to your computer but if possible Id like to find an app that can do this and save a little time.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daimoncode:
there are two apps that i know about, lbe privacy guard, and permissions, or permission dog. cant remember that last name. i personally use lbe and find that it works in most cases such as denying an app access to messages or contacts and such and network access. permissions work the same way i think but it requires a reboot to apply affects and i think it denies a category throughout all apps, not just a certain one
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
Hey everyone, need help pleeze! Last night, i fully charged my x2.. I have a custom night time saver on that it doesnt really sync at night anything except my work email every hour..

So went to bed was 100%.. Woke up it was 17%.. What the heck is that?!? I looked at running applications found nothing out of the ordinary.. I have seesmic's sync turned totally off..

Im running launcher pro, but i had widgets on the motoblur screen when i installed could they still be running? How can i find truly what is killing my phone? I looked at the battery settings in settings and it shows like phone idle and such but nothing taking up THAT much battery?

I also am using the extended battery.. I have to keep it constantly plugged into the wall charger right now or it will die, it even loses juice on the USB...

I dont think its a defective battery, but just incase i still have the original battery i can try too.
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
Just an FYI, the only things i have running right now in Task manager:

LauncherPro 0%CPU 21MB

Better Keyboard 8 0% CPU 7MB

Scanner Radio Pro 0% CPU 3MB Ram (its not an open app)

Battery Circle 0%CPU 2MB

Digital Clock Widget 0% 2MB

BluetoothDUN 0% CPU 2MB (Have it on Autoend List)

Now the weather channel and espn scorecenter was running, but i ended them and added them to autoend list.. It definatley feels like something was running and tryingto update or grab net stuff and was not shutting down.. Has to be.
[Motorola Droid X2] kc9bvl:
I had a problem with something not allowing the phone to sleep. but the battery would still last 8-10 hours. I ended up using the SBF file and doing a factory restore. Rerooted and supercharged now I can go 36 hours with moderate use. Also using juice defender app has helped a great deal.
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
I have thought about going the SBF route as well.. if it doesnt improve tommorow or by weeks end, on the weekend ill wipe it and start over..

Right now its fully charged here in the office, i have it on the wall charger.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
Try a battery calibration with the extended battery?
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
Is there a built in callibrate tool? Or do i need a download?
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
nbm, im downloading the battery calibrator free from the app market.. ill give it a try.. Thx dude
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
Nothing is working :( .. I calibrated to no avail.. I was using my phone, was at 47%, it turns off (supposedly to go to sleep), i turn it on 3 mins later, its at 41%. Im gonna restore it to factory with the flash from RSD and start over.. Somethin isnt right.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
Bad battery would be my bet how old is it?
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
3 weeks? Its a brand new extended battery... No something was running i know it that wasnt letting go of system resources.. i SBF'd and fully restored, now freezing bloatware and its running better already
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
Use system panel next time it cost money but it will save you headaches in the future when figuring out what apps are chewing your battery
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
Will do Lance ty.. I will say this, after i SBF'd the phone, did a full system restore, the battery issue has been solved, and my phone is running much better overall then it did before..

I fully charged it last night, then this mornin sent some emails (exchange), and had to take a train to work, so was listening to winamp and setting up some apps that i didnt finish last night, sent a few texts, used the camera once, and i have only lost about 15% battery.

So far so good..

This time i deleted the bloatware (froze) before i did anything, and i think the key is that i did not setup facebook or twitter inside of blur... instead using their own apps (facebook / Seesmic) so i can tell them i want them to sync manually.. Plus i used that SyncmyPix to grab the facebook pics into my contacts, and again manual sync..

So far so good..

WHat i installed on it last night:

AndroIRC

Astro

Battery Circle

Better Keyboard 8 pro

bloat freezer

blogger

busy box

digital clock widget

facebook

fartdroid full (woot!)

gingerbreak

google+

hd wallpapers

big lebowski soundboard

mobile hotspot

scanner radio pro

scoremobile (had ESPN Scorecenter but i think that was one app that was consistantly hitting the net cause the widget would never update right)

sd speed increase

script manager

superuser

syncmypix

spare parts

winamp

Looking for someone who can change language on the phone. Only we have is the phone itself (not any flashing tool) and translated text in xls.

Model is Simonsen S-310.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surcha:
Hi,

I have my phone configured to use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync which retrieves emails, calendar & tasks.

I only want the calendar to be retrieved and not the emails. I can't see a way to do this, although my previous HTC Hero on Android 2.1 was able to do this.

I can see that someone else has asked the same question a month go but there are no responses. Please can someone help?

Thanks

[G Tablet General] cjack2036:
Is there a way to lock prevent the use of wifi and usb? I would like to deploy the tablet with data that i do not want users to be able to email or copy off the tablet. Is there some way to do this?
[G Tablet General] fosser2:
That is a tough request because aside from wi-fi and usb there is also bluetooth, microsd card and I'm sure a few other ways. So I guess to answer your question, No there is not a way. Basically in disabling all of these services you lose the entire purpose of a tablet...
[G Tablet General] brettdwagner:
A Kernel dev may be able to help you out here. They do a lot of work to get interfaces such as wifi working well on the gtab, but I imagine it would be a pretty simple task to disable them.
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
App lock on the market will disable almost any function including the settings so that you can lock people from getting where you don't want them. You can lock almost anything.
[G Tablet General] EL TEJANO:
While the app does allow such functions, it does not allow locking the app (App Lock) itself. All one needs to do is uninstall the app & they will then have access to settings etc. etc.

Edit: I also found some bugs & loopholes. If running CM7, long pressing the back button kills the app, thereby leaving one vulnerable to access to the supposed "locked" apps.
[G Tablet General] tenet420:
+1 El tejano

It is Perfect AppLock and I couldn't find a way around it, even after killing it with a task manager. Not on CM7 so can't test that.
[G Tablet General] minotaur507:
Why not just remove the bcm*.ko driver file from /system/lib/modules? Or simply rename it...that would prevent the WiFi driver from ever even loading.

Of course, this wouldn't help with USB or MicroSD, but since the original question was for WiFi, this certainly should do the trick...
[G Tablet General] EL TEJANO:
Thanks, just tried it on my phone & so far it looks like everything works. I'll play with it a bit longer to see if I can find any vulnerabilities.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
There is a Sikai case for the transformer that looks alot like the Asus branded case which is very thin (like original apple ipad case.) However this one folds in a few different ways that appear alot more like the new smart cover for the ipad2.

It is selling for 24$ with free shipping on ebay. Just ordered one can't wait to get it
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] stujuk:
any links or pictures?

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ky3bmu4:
Funny , coz there is original asus case with asus logo on the last photo ))
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ilgadets:
I'm not getting how the upright angle works. The folded portion looks like it sits so low; seems like it would tip back over pretty easy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] slopokdave:
Heh I thought the same thing. Looks like it i just kind of floating there, doesnt it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
No it says sikai
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ky3bmu4:
But still the cases are different in first and last photos.

Look at the bezel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
I guess i am blind since I fail to see the difference
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] kevpuk:
Looks nice :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ky3bmu4:
just look at this picture)

http://upload.alibaba.com/wsproduct...7/485/1307504974852_hz-fileserver1_718246.jpg

it's the last at the link from ebay. And there is original Asus case on it instead of Sikai))
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dedalum:
Hi, I have my sikai case since monday.

I only can speak good things about this, I recomend it.

Perfect fitting, nice material, only the hole for the camera isn't perfectly centered but it dosen't afect to the optics.

and of course with the case fitted it won't be able to dock at the keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Steve182:
Looks pretty nice actually. Definatley interested to see your review on this one, I might snag one if its decent quality.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
Agreed that pic looks like the OEM case
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
How does the lid stay closed? Magnets? The folding of the lid to make a stand, is it stable?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dedalum:
yes, it closes with two magnets.

and it's stable in the two positions shown in the pictures.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
Awesome. Seems the folded positions work much like apples smart covers for the ipad 2
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] iamonfire:
Can you post some pictures or a review of this case please?

Tnx
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] signops:
I just got it today. It got a little bent in the process of getting to my home in the mail.

I'd say a nice decent case. Due to the bending, it seems a bit odd to look. But fit is perfect and snug. All functions and keys are accessible. Camera holes are visible with no blocking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Reeves360:
Charging Port

Are you able to charge the TF while using the Sikai as a stand?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dhamma110:
I will order one today. Will see how long it takes to ship to Taiwan, since it's around the corner. But of course at doesn't mean anything.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] naturecannon:
They say 15-20 days for delivery. Ghee z, Transformer will be outdated before the case arrives!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Poetik:
Post some pictures please!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] haddis:
Some pic's:
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] iamonfire:
Thanks for the pics... looks pretty ok to me...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Poetik:
I'm curious, how does the case look when the cover is folded all the way behind the tablet? ?the reason I ask is because on my casecrown it's really awkward to use it like that since the flap is longer than the back. When using it portrait, the back flap sticks out almost an extra inch which isn't really intuitive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] bipolarbear187:
I ordered one of these as well. Says it has shipped already, and I've had good luck getting things quickly from China in the past, so hopefully this is the same. I'll try to answer any (unanswered) questions once I receive it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
Me too. Ordered last week.

Of all the cases except the OEM apple style case this one seems the thinnest and wit the way it folds and has magnets it appears to be the most functional.Price was much better than the asus case too.

For me for this tablet to be portable it can't be made huge with a bulky case so this one fits the bill for when not using with the keyboard dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] isolated_epidemic:
I find it funny that even though you cant dock your tablet with this case on they were nice enough to still make cut outs for the docking latch holes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mnemm:
I was thinking the same thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
maybe we can dock wit it? Anyone try? it does seem thin
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] signops:
I tried the dock with the case on, and yes, while there are cutouts, its plainly not possible to insert the tablet into the dock. Thats because the tablet and dock itself are a tight fit and the fabric will prevent them from locking.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dhamma110:
I ordered mine yesterday and they already shipped it today! Will see how long it takes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Ellingsoc:
Iam also looking at getting one being that its the only good case it seems we have right now as i hate the look of leather ones

Can you adjust the angles?

Thanks...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] krash183:
Been back and forth between the sikai and the acase..... I leaning toward the academy just because it has more angle options and seems to be able to protect better.

Really wish they has silicone cases those....those would be much better
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] tksc23:
Also ordered mine from ebay (China), will take 10-20 days... :cool:

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dhamma110:

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Androidin':
Not sure if it's been mentioned or not yet but the same seller is selling it without the screen protector for $23.99 as well
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] hbcovn:
so when folded it is not fit children?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Capitan Trueno:
Hello dedalum,

Do you have any information about the effect of magnetic case closures on the screen and maybe the gps or compass? I am intrigued, for its effect since the Asus case does not use magnets to close.

Thank you very much.

Regards!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] 4700user:
Got mine today.

Was initially pleased with the worksmanship and how it fit nicely.

However, my joy was shortlived when I launched Google Maps and after a while it prompted me to calibrate the compass by waving it in the figure of eight pattern. Did that but realised that the compass didn't calibrate.

I launched Smart Compass Lite app and discovered that the compass was affected by the magnets on the case and couldn't point to the north correctly and the magnetic field strength indicated was in the red portion!

What strong magnets!

Was wondering if my experience is unique or did others face similar situation?

How about the other cases which use magnets to secure the covers? Which ones affect the compass and which ones don't?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Canadoc:
Considering the ipad uses magnets I would not be concerned.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] player911:
magnets won't damage the components but it still is bad news about the compass getting hosed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] agentgreen:
Can anyone else confirm the magnets cause issue with the compass?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dhamma110:
Confirmed! I got my case yesterday and I tried the compass. It's a problem, the magnets interfere a lot.

I ordered the screen protector as well and it came with one corner bend. I still tried to use it and I scratched it in a second. Really bad.

Their packing is not good enough, the things get bend to easily.

While the workmanship is excellent you still have to take out the eee pad if you want to take out the SD card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Jetchn:
I don't like this one very much. Because when you touch it, it will leave some fingerprints.Especially when your hands sweat.

How about this one, Seems it has a 4 angle viewings. But the material is general PU leather. I don't know if it is good enough. Any one has a review?

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] samuelong87:
I have seen this on ebay and considered it before too. Seems really functional but kind of thick
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SwiftLegend:
Looks nice, but 20 days for it to arrive? That's a long time.. Is it multiangle or just 2 set ones. I want to be able to adjust the angle.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] tksc23:
Does the problem goes away if you remove the cover? or you have to re-calibrate everytime you install and remove the cover? That would be really annoying... :cool:

It wouldn't really concern me if everything back to normal if I simply remove the cover since I don't use the Maps much. (already ordered the same case and waiting for it to arrive... :mad:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] peyman_2002:
Ordered mine 2 days ago!

I honestly think that's the best looking case you can find..to me thickness is a big deal..other cases are too thick but this one is slim and the fact that it has those magnets is kinda cool looking forward to it..just the waiting game is annoying.

The seller replies promptly I would recommend it
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Lawliet:
It's a problem with Android 3.2 update.

EDIT: I asked the manufacturer about the case working with the dock and this is what they wrote (quoted ad verbatim)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Esoth:
That's great news! The inability to dock with it on is the only thing stopping me from buying one right now. Hopefully they release it soon!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xiophyte:
Hey All I got my case Monday, and i thought i'd share some pictures.

I was able to attach the dock with the case still on. It moves the entire case up a little bit, but its still usable. The front cover also tucks neatly under the dock.

If anyone wants any other pics just let me know.

Video review

Here's a video review for anyone interested.

Great case IMO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtXQd_FDpRs
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Just wondering, many developers I talk to tell me people want their tiles to use the phone's accent colour. Some of them even though not very impressed with the results gave in under feedback pressure and created a tile that fits in with the theme.

I personally like it when a tile shows some personality and value my AMOLED screen with vibrant colours. To take to recent examples, even if the bright yellow hurts the eyes I still prefer IM+'s tile over Kik's that I find very bland.

If all developers were using accent colours homescreens would just be unicoloured massive blocks, which isn't very flattering (my opinion).

I took 2 pictures of my phone to reflect the difference, what do you think?

PS: You've got to love that Accuweather Live Tile :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] FTC:
...I believe it depends about your habits and how you use your phone. If you like to walk through your life, staring at the screen, then colourful tiles might be less boring. However this is exactly what WP7 wants you not to do (Really?)....

I for myself, I prefer simple, unicolour, but informative tiles. It tells me on one glance what's up on my mails, calls, contacts, calender etc. and I can either interact or put the phone back in my pocket for later. This is why I love WP7. But this is just me...
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
I am mixed. I like it when apps follow the theme especially if its a live tile that shows a counter like say Rowi or Birdsong twitter apps.

I prefer official apps to have their own unique icons like you stated im+, vevo, imdb etc, makes it much more recognizable on the phone.

So 3rd party apps follows the phone theme, first party apps follow their trademark logos :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
I am mixed to ... something like this
[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
I like a combination of the two. If all tiles were a plain color with a white icon it would be boring and if all tiles were detailed pictures and animations it would be too busy. I have mine all spread out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I understand what you mean but it's like saying I don't care what my car looks like as long as it has 4 wheels. A nice touch of paint is always nice :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Actually that's what I wish for mainly. Official apps at the very least should stick to their colours, I just find that Kik tile weird.

Like thesecondsfade says a good combination of the two is nice. Live tiles also go a long way towards improving the homescreen, Flixster and Prime TV seen above being good examples.
