[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taoistman:
Hi All,

I have an ATT Atrix and I flashed the 2.3.4 beta from http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1159385 and forgot to unlock the bootloader. I already have the 1.8.3 radio. Right now the phone froze on Dual Core Screen. I guess this has something to do with not unlocking the bootloader. The phone can still boot to fastboot, the original Android recovery and RSD. But, It won't flash all roms I downloaded saying the signature validation is incorrect. And I tried to flashed the unlock sbf and try to unlock the bootloader. And the RSD lite kept saying unable to retrieve interface and thereby failed.

What do I need to do on this case?

Thanks for you help!!! Sincerely!!!!!!

Hello,

I just wanted to know if there was any way to block non-android apps? I know you can do it from settings, then applications, but you can enable installation of apps by just checking that option. Is there any way I can block them? Thanks, and I want to do this because my brother keeps installing useless games and apps again and again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j7jman:
I don't think you can any other way.. but one thing you can do is install a app that can hide your android market app or any other app you choose so he cant access the market... I can't quite remember the name of it but its a pretty cool app.. you can also hide pics, movies, and other media on your phone.. wish I could help a little more

Ok so i got my first rom and was messing around with it ( bi winning v3) and i went to the SGS tools app and selected the option to update stock apps and this is where i screwed up , i tried to install the modded 3d gallery and the hacked camera.apk but after i downloaded both of them , and went out of the app , i noticed my gallery and camera are both missing from the app menu and if i try to open something that has to do with the gallery the app would crash , so does anyone know how to get back my camera app and gallery app? i read you need to flash , but what do i flash exactly??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:

Or else you can just unzip the ROM using.go to system/app in extracted file..there you will find the original gallery and camera apps.just replace the gallery and camera apps using root explorer in system/app

Hi all just wanted to leave my impressions of the diablo skinz decal pack.

What comes in the box :

* front skin that covers everything but the screen and camera sensor holes.

*back battery skin that covers the entire battery cover apart from 2mm at the bottom( for some reason ).

*hump skin this covers the samsung hump but has a speaker hole.

Application:

Application was very easy just like a sticker, the material is very sticky and thin but not to thin.

Also when sticking on my battery with the textured surface it had no problems sticking.

Fit and Finish:

The fit was not perfict in all places, around the camera the lines were not cut 100% straight and are not up to the edge also the battery sticker does not cover the whole of the battery cover lol if that makes sense ( you will see in the pics )

Note: there are no pictures of the front sticker i dont use it because i dont like the look, also i dont like to feel a bump on the edge of the screen when scrolling.

However you can see examples on there website:

P.S I had applied the front skin and it does fit very well with no miss alignment.

So on my fascinate i've done everything correctly. Got it back to stock with odin, flashed clockwork recovery. I wipe all the user data, cache, and the dalvik. when I go to install the CM7 zip it gives me an error and aborts the installation. It says (Status 7). it's the 7/13 build. I tried a previous build too and it didn't work. I've also tried re-downloading the zip. everyone else seems to be doing it fine, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong?

BATTERY LIFE ON NEW EVO 3D:

90% battery after 12.5hrs!

I keep all the radios on (4G, 3G, wifi, bluetooth, gps) and brightness set to auto.

...

I couldn't do a screen shot from the phone cuz no root yet :(

Manl, that's insane how efficient the new dual cores are!
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
Only if you dont use the phone. Hence your display percentage so low. Mine went about 12.5 hours on battery with the display on for 3h total
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
That is one thing that I don't understand about this phone. Sometimes, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it for 12 hours and the battery will still be in the 90's like you see above. Other times, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it and it will just slowly drain and be into the 60's or 70's after 12 hours (and it's still sleeping). Don't get it. Signal is always good here too.
[HTC EVO 3D] EricSS619:
I get about 3 hours of battery, and I don't even use it for calls really.

[HTC EVO 3D] demo27vol1:
After 7 or 8 hours I hit about 20-25%. With Juice Defender Ultimate I get about an hour more of battery. But thats still not enough for me hah.
[HTC EVO 3D] Quis89:
What are you guys' usage patterns like? My battery life is no where near what I'm seeing in this thread. Maybe I use my phone too much.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
I know why my battery life sucks. I use it way too much... Lol... Underclocking to 685mhz works pretty well and the phone isn't all that laggy. It is definitely bearable.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
The only days I get battery life anywhere close to that are the days that I am super busy and just don't touch my phone, except to answer a call or text. Days where I have too much time, I'll constantly be on my phone playing games, researching things, youtubing stuff, listening to music, and on those days I'll get 9-12 hours, which is still good in my book. It'll easily go over a day with very light usage. I can leave it off the charger at 100% over night, and it'll be at 97% or so when I wake up, but as soon as I get on that XDA app for 20 minutes I'll be down to 75%, lol. It's ironic that the XDA app is such a major battery drain, and that is one of the apps that I use the most.
[HTC EVO 3D] jamaicansolja:
If you get '3 hours of battery and don't use it for calls' then you either have a defective phone or lying. I do vallet and play Video's all day work 5PM-4AM and I never have to charge my phone although close to dead by the time I leave. 3 hours? I don't think so.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Fact 1: 9 times out of 10, if you don't use your phone at all, the battery will barely drain.

Fact 2: If you were to actually pick up and use the phone, you wouldn't get nearly as long out of the battery.

That's something that baffles me about people and keeping track of battery usage. They leave their phone sitting there over night and all day without touching it, and then have kittens when the battery percentage barely goes down. Well.. newsflash, that will happen if you don't use the phone at all. I guarantee that if you were to use the phone for any length of time the battery would drain a lot faster than that. So that isn't an accurate indicator of the phone's battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] lrosenman:

[HTC EVO 3D] RedWingsFan:
I'm not sure exactly how many hours I'm getting, how many text messages i'm sending, how long i'm online, or how long i'm using other apps. All I know is I'm getting a lot better battery life than I did with my EVO 4G.

If I'm at work and it drops around 50%, I'll throw it on the charger. When I go to bed, if it is under 70%, I'll throw it on the charger. There have only been a few times where my battery has dropped below 20% because I was using it a lot all day.

Just in case I bought a 3 battery + charger combo off ebay. So anytime I'm going somewhere that won't give me access to a charger, I throw one in my pocket. This is very rare though.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Difference is... same usage on a stock evo (never tried the gingerbread update) ... i would be almost dead by 4 or 5 pm... now it does around 1 or 2 am before its almost dead.

anyone can get great battery life if you don't turn your screen on and leave your phone in a place with good service.

Nope, if my screen is on then my battery is draining fast. This morning after being unplugged for 35mins my battery was down to 73%. All i did was browse the internet for 20mins. That is what i hate about this phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Drachen808:
I average about 16 hours a day (plugging in with about 15%) with what I would think would be moderate usage. I check my display on time and it is usually about 2-2.5 hours. One day I had the screen on for 3:13 and I only got 13:45 before I had to plug in.

And this is the final conclusion in a nutshell

Hell i go to sleep for 8 hours and my phone will only use a couple percentage points of battery.

I used to use Simi, till I found out that it sometimes caused my phone to have insomnia (fail to go to deep sleep).

This battery indicator thing is awesome, don't have any problems with that anymore!

BTW, I use this app to see if my phone is deep sleeping properly:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy

If your phone's not deep sleeping, just reset the timer and remove all the "updating" widgets one at a time till you find the offending one. If you don't find it, then target the apps.

BTW, the clock and weather parts of Simi work fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
But it is a great indicator that this phone is better than my coworker's iPhone 4 at standby mode. Even if he never touched his phone he wouldn't get results this good. Plus, he always has to turn on/off radios and keep his display at almost the lowest setting to save battery.

Hell, I didn't even get this great of standby time on my Evo 4G! Basically same use, I used to get 1.5-2.0 days before I need to recharge. You have to admit that there's something improved in the 3D over the 4G model Evos. I dunno if it's the dual cores or maybe it's GB or both?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yeah, but the thing is you need to state in your post that the readings only shows how your battery handles sleep mode which in all honesty most of us don't really have a problem with or care to much about.

We want to actually use our device and not watch it sit on our nightstand with great battery. Most people that do not know what they are looking at here just see a lot of battery life over a long period of time and start freakin out because they use their phone constantly for 3 hours and need to re-charge. Then they think they need to return it because it is defective.
[HTC EVO 3D] lrosenman:
Neo3d, thanks for those two apps.
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
I'm now at 69% after 10 hours (just got home from work). Screen on time is 9 minutes. This is about how my Epic did on battery when it wasn't even sleeping. According to the battery stats on my 3D though, it is sleeping, yet still draining the battery at a steady pace (3.1% per hour). At that pace, I would only have 32 hours of standby. Terrible!
[HTC EVO 3D] VintageSin:
That day it was about 2 hours with gps on for about 1 hour on with navigation. Also I used WiFi as much as possible. Lasted for 26 hours before power saver as it was a low usage day. Medium usage is around 17 hours. High usage is around 12 hours.

[HTC EVO 3D] Neo3D:
Well, this is my use during the work week, a few calls, a few texts, a game or two. Of course, YMMV if ppl use navi + mp3 + videos, or whatever etc.

I disagree, good deep sleep is important. Some phones drain just sitting there doing nothing. It's good to know that when ppl are not using their phones, it's not slowly sucking away all their juice. I basically have the same usage habits as my Evo and it lasts almost 50% longer. Honestly, this surprised me, I never expected anything this good.

Again, anyone not getting similar results from

similar use

, download CPU SPY and check your deep sleep. Reset the timers and troubleshoot to see what's giving it insomnia.

I don't think people are thinking you'll this kind of battery life from watching a 3D movie on it all day. All they gotta do is see the screen shot and know that. We're Android users, not iTards, I think we know better ;)

I dont care what anyone says... when I had the Evo 4G whether I was using it or not while I was at work, just with the phone sitting there and things running in the background id be lucky if I made it to 1 or 2 pm without having to charge it. That was with no 4G, no wifi, no gps. Under the same conditions with this phone when I leave work I still have roughly 70% of my battery left. All that other stuff I dont care about.

[HTC EVO 3D] gfullwr70:
OK I just took my phone off charge surfed XDA till I hit 90% checked batt stats display 92% screen on time 1hr.18 min. So from 100% to 90% took a lil over an hour. My og Evo would go from 100 to 90 in about 15 min.
[HTC EVO 3D] macramentonate:
It's all the display's fault

Over 5 hours screen on low brightness (%40%) :cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] borgqueenx:
With all due respect that is impossible unless maybe you have brightness on 1% and all antennas off. And didnt do 3d stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] devgrp:
The high display percentage should'nt be a problem for anyone. Remember its just calculating the display being on based on the time the phone is awake. So if the phone was being used for 2 hrs after you took it off the charger, it gonna be based on that. So your display may say 70%, but if you click on it will probably say it was on for 1hr.

Right now my display shows the highest usage at 45% when I click on display it shows my screen has been on for 8 mins and its been off the charger for 1hr 29min
[HTC EVO 3D] sidepart:
My battery life has been ridiculous. I've had my phone off the charger sometimes for two days in a row.

I was really worried too after Engadget said:

"

"

No idea where they got their phone from, but that's not what I've been seeing. STILL though, they call the battery life abysmal...lasting only 15 hours with ALL the radios on checking 3 e-mail accounts, etc. I would've expected my EVO 4G to die in 3-5 hours at that rate. So abysmal? Sure as hell was better than before.

I was really anxious to see how this phone would last with only the 3G on and I haven't been disappointed.
[HTC EVO 3D] hydrogenman:

Well my iphone 4 lives about 4-5 hours on constant 3g radio streaming with screen off.

And can do like 4 hours of offline gaming....

This is with all functions on. Including gps(but i dont think gps is updating constantly) only bluetooth is off.

And i have 4 email accounts that check for updates at 15 minutes, over 3g.

Hows the evo3d compared to that?
[HTC EVO 3D] 350zfern:
I don't know how you all are getting these numbers, but this is my plead for help. I've been surfing on 3G for two hours and nine minutes and I'm down to 50 percent. GPS, WIFI, 4G and BT are all off. My display has used 90 percent and I have display at 40 percent brightness.

Minimal apps installed and I monitor my services closely. What am I doing wrong ?
[HTC EVO 3D] arqbrulo:
The case with my 3d, as it was with my 4g also, is that once it reaches about 30% or so, it starts draining a lot faster. I can usually go 24 hours per charge.
[HTC EVO 3D] scyy:
That is likely because you probably have a bad signal at work and the phone is constantly looking for signal.

on topic about the evo 3d, I get great battery life. I'm at 52% after 10 1/2 hours with wifi on at work, screen has been on for two and a half hours with an hour if netflix and about 2 hours of music using google music.
