[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambalam:
Hey,

I flashed lighting rom yesterday and was my first custom rom I have ever experienced. I love it, however battery life is worse than stock rom and I have done a recalibration of the battery. Is there something im not doing because I was lead to assume that my battery life would improve.

If there is something I am not doing, please enlighten me.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __NBH__:
From my experience a custom rom uses power pretty much the same as stock but once you root the phone you can freeze processes which then save the battery.

On stock I was getting screen on time of about 4.25 hours but now on villain rom I got just over 5 and still had 22% battery left.

I use ant tek app manager to freeze the processes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoolzo:
I am sure people are going disagree with me here but I really think people are expecting a little too much out of this liddle-o-battery, if your phone is running at 1.2 all the time then its gonna suk-da-juice. I don't pick ROMS based on its battery performance as most now have battery optimisations cooked in as soon as they are found anyway. I just make sure I have some practical SETCPU profiles set to keep those megahertz at bay but also charge my Phone at work so it don't cost diddly anyway.

I also have a spare batter just in case :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambalam:
When the phone turns on, the camera makes a noise like it is coming on, is this normal? If not this could be it, however I have also noticed that the drain is absolutely massive when the screen is on (almost 10% in 20min)

To have ANY idea about whats going on with your phone post screenshots of settings > about phone > battery.

Of both the graph and of the list of %'s

Also what rom/kernel/modem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambalam:
Only thing which is suspicious is that display is a lot higher than normal, possibly due to the crt bug where auto brightness is not very good, have now set it to manual.

hi

Be gentle im very new to this please.

i have a HTC Desire A8183 GSM 850/900 with telstra Branding, I would liketo install a custom Rom without the telstra Rubbish on it .

im running 2.2 at the moment .

if there is a 'Vanilla " Android Rom where would i find it please ?

Thank you for your patience and understanding .
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wte75:
Haven't seen downloadable plain Android ROM anywhere (just screenshots), but MODs are plentifull. E.g. Redux if like minimalistic approach or always popular CyanogenMod.

If you just want to get rid of telstra stuff, check official HTC RUUs/ROMs from this thread. That way you'd have Android+HTC SW (e.g. Sense). Or, to save you the trouble of rooting, pick one from here.

Have fun with experimenting1

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
As you wrote, Mango is still beta. So, Marketplace does not accepts apps with new API. Wait for official release plus few month...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breus:
Of course I wasn't talking about app in the marketplace, cause as u wrote,there can't be any mango app in market. I was talking about announcements of developers or software house, which till now have not been made.

For example BBC already demoed his mango app...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
I'm thinking it's because:

- VOIP apps requires a lot of investments to infrastructure, servers, customers support etc. Also cell providers not welcome that kind of apps ;)

- also everybody are waiting for MS/Skype release. It's too risky to invest some money without knowledge of future WP7 Skype features.

We have to wait for the public to get their bootloaders to be S-OFF. :) Once we have S-OFF (whether its through an update pushed by HTC/your US carrier, or an exploit such as Fre3dom through a developer on this website), we'll be able to develop and flash custom roms such as MIUI and CyanogenMod onto our Sensations.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zjoske:
I've had the Galaxy S2 for about 2 months now without any problems.

As of last Friday, I can't receive incoming calls. People who try to call me hear one beep and then they get my voicemail.

Outgoing calls work just fine, as does SMS (incoming and outgoing).

I've put my T-Mobile SIM in another phone and then it is able to receive a call. Another SIM in my phone -> same problem: no incoming calls.

So I figured it must be the phone.

Customer support has started an investigation but that can take up to 1 week, so I thought let's ask XDA.

Can it be a simple setting that I've accidentally changed? Pretty often when I take my phone from my pocket, the screen is unlocked so that could be a cause.

If anyone has a clue or an identical situation, please let me know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
Does your phone ring when a call comes in and also does it go straight through to your voicemail?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zjoske:
Straight to voicemail. But I've figured it out after 3 days ;)

There's an option to automatically block all incoming calls in the settings. Must have accidentally been activated when the phone was in my pocket.

Hello my girlfriends SGS 2 has almost the same problem it cannot receive calls sometimes even though she can call everyone. The problem seems to fix by itself sometimes and it appears random.

I read that there was a problem with the samsung galaxy s when using 2G/EDGE connection with data activated and the problem was that the user could not receive calls randomly.

Can you confirm that you are using 2G/EDGE connection and Data activated? I am also trying to find the cause of this problem...

Hope my research helps good luck and waiting for your reply. (http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...eive-incoming-calls-and-sms-while-using-edge/)

She also has a vodafone provider but i have the same provider and never had this issue. Also no call filtering is done.

Make sure Call Forwarding is Disabled under Settings- Call- Call forwarding. And also try to delete the Voicemail number if you had set any.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sboganx:
it's nothing Call Forwarding is Disabled related it is because of EDGE connection you can't have a sync or internet connection and while "dialing" data receive calls if you want to call anyone the network prioritizes and let's you dial whoever you want but it is not the same thing for incoming calls

I'm starting college next month (I'm 18) and I'm trying to decide which laptop to purchase.

I had a thought about the Asus Transformer tablet/dock combo as I wanted to remain in the android modding field, but then I kinda realised that it's not going to be powerful enough, so my mind switched to a solid laptop/notebook instead.

I think I need a 14-15 inch led screen with core 2nd gen i5 (i7 is too expensive for me.) and as lightweight as possible. I'm going to be doing Bachelor in Electronic and Communication Engineering so the graphics should be good enough for some engineering drawings and picture editing, and for some nice gaming if possible. I don't have any knowledge about graphic cards, cache memory and RAM stuff btw. I'm thinking something not above $1000.

Which good models do you guys recommend me?

PS: I don't want Mac stuff, I need Windows 7 to work.

EDIT on 2nd of September:

Sorry to revive this old thread, but fact is, I still haven't purchased my laptop.

I'm looking for something (at max $1000) with core i5 and some other good specs as well as those 2 things:

1. HD webcam

2. backlit keyboard.

Those are very important. Thank you :)
[Off-topic] ExMM:
I am a very happy owner of the Dell XPS 17 which I found really powerful, more than enough for gaming as well, and right now is probably one of the best choice on the market (from what the reviews said as well).

Anyway, you can start to customize the 15" inch version, the XPS 15 ,from 899$ with and I5 second generation (Sandybridge) and an Nvidia GeForce GT 550M 1GB RAM with Optimus Technology (saves battery).

it offers USB 3.0 as well, with the latest HDMI 1.4, card reader,1600x900p resolution screen, excellent Audio with Sub, and comes with a HD webcam integrated for HD video calls.

Enought for gaming (medium settings) and decent professional rendering.

Hope it helped. :)
[Off-topic] Vip_blast:
Really nice reply, I'm having a look at the XPS 15 right now, thank you very much. I tried running some search, came across the Lenovo IdeaPad 14" and the HP ENVY 14. What do you think about those?

I heard from user opinions that Dell are pretty good, and HP's build quality is kinda bad. I'm searching for some more models.

I had a look at the Alienware 14", kinda expensive for a laptop with no multitouch input :/
[Off-topic] ExMM:
HP in general, is famous to have issues cooling problems, but not obviously on every model, Dell is definitely not a "saint" but they do the job, and from what I have read and my experience, they do it well.

The Alienware 14" is a good choice and it does have the same GPU on my XPS 17, which is the Nvidia 555M 3GB (pretty powerful card).

I wouldn't recommend thus a 14".

If you are planning to use it for casual gaming, but specially for professional rendering the resolution of the screen, is generally 1200x800, which is too low (HP Envy 14"; Lenovo IdeaPad), and it does bother you, if you have ever seen a 1080p or at least a 900p.

The alienware does have a 900p resolution, but you have to pay more.

With the alienware 14", anyway you will end up to have a smaller screen , which for a less amount of money you could get for a 15" inch with a very decent specs.

I also read in other forums people not really recommend a 14" inches, or at least they wouldn't buy it again. But this is just an individual opinion, depends entirely on you.

Personally, stick with the 15" and at least a 900p resolution, which you can find already in the basic configuration for a 899$, in the XPS 15, and if you want to reach a 1000$ customize it to have more power, except RAM, which you can upgrade by yourself for a cheaper price.

I have a 14" HP laptop and I love the size and portability... but the battery life is abominable. It gets maybe 90 minutes to a charge. I wouldn't recommend one for college use where you're going to be mobile for hours at a time.

My work laptop is a 14" Dell and I learned last week I can get 6 hours out of my battery (forgot to plug it in).

One thing to keep in mind with 15" or larger laptops is alot of them include a numpad with the keyboard these days. That means the QWERTY part of the keyboard is off-center to the left. I find this awkward to type on. I would recommend trying out this type of keyboard before committing to it.
