But most of the stuff is pretty useless anyway all this Samsung bloatware is guaranteed to drain your battery, i don't see it as sacrifcying anything, ive got email on push and i still get over 25+ hours battery,i used an iPhone 4 for a few weeks and id be lucky to get 16 hours with medium to heavy usage.

My data is always enabled too, you can save a lot of battery if you use apps like Juice defender plus and system panel will also tell you which apps,etc are using up more than others.

At the end of the day smartphones are always going to use up much more battery than normal phones and this isn't going to change anytime soon until such time a revoultionary new battery is designed that lasts for days on end.

Until then people have to deal with it,follow the tips and you'll get good battery life, if you want absolutely everything "on at the same time" your simply not going to get it, not on the iPhone 4 or any phone.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
indeed this is very true.

It's not parked.

Your Engine is still running on idling mixture.

That's a difference. ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
Has not been properly addressed. Thats why its not even included in 90% of the custom roms.
[Focus General] slum_dawg:
Just bought a Samsung Focus used, but SIM/Carrier unlocked, Update-7390. The previous owner mentioned about replacing the battery for the Phone.

Is there any other way to determine whether the phone is rev 1.3 or rev 1.4 ?

I've read on the forums that the downgrade only works on rev 1.3.

Thanks !
[Focus General] foxbat121:
The revision # is printed on a label underneath the battery on the phone, not on the battery. So, take the battery out and take a look.

Revision 1.4 phones are not capable of receiving 7390 NoDo update. So likely your phone is rev 1.3 or earlier.
[Focus General] fc000:
Where exactly? I feel like an idiot staring at this label and not seeing a revision number...
[Focus General] PsychoAssasin:
yeah i was looking for this number too but i couldnt find it either, and felt it would be too stupid to ask lol. Mine is a I917R from rogers and cant find the revision anywhere
[Focus General] fc000:
I've also got a Focus from Rogers, and there's nothing like a "rev:" or "revision:" on the white label under the battery. The only items listed are Model, FCC ID, IC, IMEI, S/N, UPC, and on the same like as the S/N, there's a "10.11".
[Focus General] slum_dawg:
Yes Thank You,

Found the revision it's 1.3.

Will post a picture soon, so others can know where to look for it.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
It shows like 'Rev. 1.3' on the label. Can't speak for Canandian versions of Focus. They may not have this printed on like the AT&T versions do. They also run different firmware than AT&T version.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Focus from Rogers (Canada) doesn't have the revision anywhere under the battery. Here's a photo of what it looks like (note: IMEI and SN have been edited):

From the codes, I was able to find out.

In Diagnosis (##634# in Dialer), enter *#32489#

press Back button on the screen 4 times (lower right)

until you see:

1. debug screen

2. version information

3.....

here, type 2 (version information)

after, select 2 (HW VERSION)

after, select 1 (READ HW VERSION)

Mine is "REV1.3"

btw, sw version: i917RUXJL2

I am having issues with my 3G Xoom... Yesterday I went out on the road and my 3G showed full strength (4/4 bars) on 3G, but it says "No internet connection" in the status. WiFi works fine.

I was Stock rooted with the 1.4.4 Tiamat kernel. I tried everything known to man, including wiping everything and flashing Tiamat ROM 1.1 w/1.4.5 kernel. (Also tried toggling airplane mode, changing roaming options, etc.)

I heard rumor of a "3G Fix" in the Tiamat 1.0 ROM, but didn't want to load the full ROM if at all possible if I can stay stock by flashing a Radio, Kernel, etc.

My APN is fine. I called Motorola and they ran me through those settings. I ended up shipping it back to them, so I will have a fixed Xoom, or a new Xoom sometime next week. My guess is the radio and/or antenna is somehow messed up.

To everyone / anyone lucky enough to recieve the 4.010.08 update or any update. Please download alogcat from the market and run during acceptance of the update so we can log the ota location and make it available to the less fortunate.

This will help millions!

Please share if you have 1.141.07 and going to 4.010.08

Special thanks to Vache for starting the log, Just wish people would continue to log the OTA update locations.

Please note which update you were on prior to update when posting.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bryan858:
If you can't figure out alogcat, Whenever you get an update prompt on your tablet, look in the /cache/recovery of your tablet while it's downloading and copy and paste the filename somewhere then you can post it publically and it can be downloaded from http://cdn.acer.futuredial.com/Acer_A500_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.zip

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Hi there,

Ok, here is my last try to get a fix before I quit. I have a problem only related with Custom ROMs so I expose it in the Dev zone. Sorry if it is not correct.

For those who haven't follow the Perfect Recovery topic, I have one of the so called X5 Black Sheep. Initially these X5's appeared in Portugal and the synthom was stuck forever on IDEOS screen when enter in CWMv4.0.0.5 from genokolar. Finally stockwell have modified the CWMv4 with the kernel from MIUI and we can now enter in and flash the new Custom ROMs.

The thing is, my X5 keeps freezing and restarting in ALL custom ROMS. I have tried Oxygen, CM7, void and MIUI. ALL with same result. Even the ClockWorkModv4 from stockwell freezes and restarts sometimes when making or restoring backups.

I think it is something related with I/O SDcard as the reboots/freezes happens 90% when making something with it (mounting SDcard in PC through USB, or in Antutu when testing SDcard) but I have tried without SDcard and also with 3 different SDcards. All with same result.

I have absolutely no problem with Official and stock B137 ROM. Only with custom kernels (except SuperBoot from Paul fo Modaco that works 100% stable). Another example is I am absolutely stable with B137 stock but, if I put the boot.img from franciscofranco kernel for void, I can boot but again I have freezes and restarts.

What do you think the problem is? Do I have a faulty X5? Although is strange that with official kernel or SuperBoot everything works stable.

Any help, please?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maxusz:
I have exactly same problem!

I bought a x5 2 days ago. Catched up to the rom scene and tried to root the phone.

The phone was also stuck on ideos logo when trying to boot recovery 4.

Tried the recovery for the black sheeps and worked! Installed the rom and was amazed by the speed and usability.

Downloaded a lot of apps's and it started crashing. So I tried to remove app by app and the problem remains!

The first time it crashed I had problem turning the phone again (even after taking the battery out!).

Now sometimes crashes on standby and turns off.

Most frequently crashes during phone calls.

In one afternoon more then 8 crashes!

Tried to remove the SD card and now i'm waiting to see if the problem is solved.

So the problem is real. I must have a black sheep. And the cure for the black sheep is partially working since it must have some bugs in it..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
maxusz, are you portuguese? Because I only have knowledge of Black sheeps in Portugal. At least here in xda never saw anyone complaining from any other country except Portugal, which is odd.

Regarding your problem, it is a bit different than mine. When I flash a custom ROM or put a different boot.img (except SuperBoot), I get freezes and restarts right off the boot. Sometimes I have time to complete a Antutu, but that is rare. Most of the time it hangs within 2 or 3 minutes after booting.

And, as I said, even in stockwell's CWMv4 I have freezes and restarts because it uses MIUI's kernel.

It seems that I have a different hardware from other X5's but... on the other side, I have no issue at all running B136 and B137 ROMs. :( I really can't understand what is the problem and I am very sad as I bought this model because it was getting a very good development community and now... I'm stuck with stock firmware.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
Go to TMN and demand to change the device for a new one.. tell them that it doesn't boot.. if you are in those famous 15days after buy.. if it goes to warrantly you may not have lucky.

Or demand you money and wait for the new remittance of ideos x5, once TMN x5 is out of stock, at least at Lisbon. good luck m8
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Been there, done that and I got another black sheep... I am still in that 15 days period although I don' t want to spend my life doing this until I got a normal one.

I would rather prefer to understand and fix whatever is wrong with these X5. :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] randomparanoia:
Go there get your money back and wait for brand new X5s in a couple of weeks. Much better than waiting for ever for a working fix which might never happen, since not everyone has the same issue.

best of lucks Royal ;(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lourenzo:
If I have to guess - and watching the differences in consistency of the product - I would say there's some difference in HW and thus missing a driver for something. unfortunately, this is just a guess that need proper investigation if this is plausible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
I might do that. :( I just hope that TMN have stock again very soon.

I am no dev nor programmer but I really like to know the technical difference between these models and the normal ones.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Anything I can do to check that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lourenzo:
Probably the easiest way to do this is find out why/when it is rebooting... noein already tried to help you, right? try to catch is attention: is examinations must be all done by now :P

I'm no expert - just guessing...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] atiatinini:
After a restart, use an app like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer (or adb) to grab the /proc/last_kmsg file and post it here. That should help the devs to find out what is different with your phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maxusz:
I am from Portugal!

Bought mine from TMN Aveiro!

Mine also got stuck when installing recovery. I had to try differente boot.img and then the one it worked was the one for the black sheeps
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Before testing I was checking and I can confirm that I do not have any file or folder inside /proc named "last_kmsg". :confused:

Any clue?

I was thinking... Could this be caused by I have upgraded to B137SP04 Official ROM and this changes anything in the system that is used by any custom kernels?! Does this makes any sense?

Because the B137SP04 is later than any custom ROMs. For example, void was first created based on FLB (I think) that was based on first B137 ROMs. SP04 came after.

Just a shot in a dark. :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lourenzo:
nope - I also cheked and couldn't find that file (unless it's hidden).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rimsilva:
I don't think so... I had the same problem... CWM 4.0. I upgraded from TMN ROM to B137 (Czech Omitel) and afterwords I've instaled MIUI custom ROM (with CWM 3...) and upgraded to CWM 4 after stockwell update.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maxusz:
can't find that file either! did a search of it and it's nowhere to be found!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
And you have no problem, right?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rimsilva:
no problems!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] atiatinini:
That's odd... Try to do an adb logcat until your phone restarts and post it here. Or you can do it directly from your phone: install the 'Terminal Emulator' app, open it and enter 'su', and then 'logcat > /data/logcat.txt' commands. Wait until your phone restarts. Then use Root Explorer or ES File Manager to grab that file (/data/logcat.txt) and post it here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korpenkraxar:
Hmm... This sounds a bit like the issue I am having with custom kernels on my X5, bought in Sweden in April or so.

I tried a couple of overclocked kernels on top of the stock ROM a while back and they all crashed my phone in less than an hour so I gave up on those. I am still on the original ROM (no OTA updates here in Sweden) and have not tried or moved to recovery v4 yet.

Which custom ports and ROMs actually work well on the black sheeps?

Need I say I am little disappointed in Huawei...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] atiatinini:
There is nothing wrong in the logcat... And the proc/last_kmsg file isn't being generated... Sorry, but I have no idea of what's wrong in your phone. :( Maybe some smarter developer will figure it out ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Thanks anyway. :( :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maxusz:
ok, i've installed miai and the latest franco kernel for it and the reboots/crashes stopped.

i'm really liking miai.. it has a lot of nice touches.

if the camera/video/crackling gets fixed it will be perfect for me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Can you do a similar thing but instead do dmesg instead of logcat? I'm interested more in seeing the kernel messages from where it's initializing the hardware.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RoyaL:
Hello stockwell. Thanks again for your help on this. I have my X5 already in package and I will swap it again in a couple of hours. Later today I come here to say if I got another black sheep or not. If I do :( I'll do the dmesg and post it here.

Meanwhile, if someone that has freezes and restarts want to do it, it would be nice.

EDIT: I just came here to say that I finally got a WHITE sheep. :) CWMv4.0.0.5 from genokolar runs fine on my new X5 so I won't be able to help anymore on this topic. Although I will follow it with great attention as I would like to understand what have TMN/Huawei done to some X5's.
[Defy General] Titankahn:
16) My GoogleMaps (or other application that uses OpenGL) is freezing/irresponsive. What can I do?

Open terminal or adb shell and type these commands:

Code:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

# echo sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096 >> /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

# chmod 744 /system/etc/install.sh

# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Hi all i have some question about this!

So this is a countermeasure like a mod? I type it in then everything goes well?

Or i have to type it after every restart?

and if i write this it kills the app or it will run before the freezing?

is this working with opengl games?.

Thanks!

Ernő
[Defy General] Titankahn:
when i tried typing this line

# chmod 744 /system/etc/install.sh

no such file exists

maybe this?

# chmod 744 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

PS: Has this anything to do with recovery 2ndinit or something?
[Defy General] efpob:
not exactly sure what this does, I think it makes sure at least 4096kb of RAM is free.

but try

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

# echo vm.min_free_kbytes = 4096 >> /system/etc/sysctl.conf

# mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

# sysctl -p

it worked for me and has kept the setting after restarts
[Defy General] salingpusa:
Just download sysctl in market and set it at 4096 it higher. If you have setvsel, it had option to increase min kb to 4096
[Defy General] vap_66:
My Defy 2.2 also freezes when trying Maps (the only one that works is 5.0.0) - so I've tried sysctl with 8192 at min. kb. free.

No success, still freezing with 5.6.0/5.7.0 :(.
[Defy General] salingpusa:
Uninstall updates in maps then update a fresh one.

[Android Apps and Games] thiagolr:
Download: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wiirecords.localizedapps

This app allows you to create shortcuts and choose which language each shortcut will use.

Extremely useful for people who like to use the phone in english and want to use a specific app on another language!

EXAMPLE: android system in english and run google maps in portuguese

Using a localized shortcut is slower because it has to change the language and then change it back after exiting the app. Please be patient!

The localization depends on the 3rd party app, this app will not translate it!

Android does not have support to launch applications on different languages. The workaround is to change the system language during the app execution.

You should use ISO639 languages (en, pt, fr, es, de, it, etc) and ISO3166 countries (US, BR, FR, ES, DE, IT, etc).

i entered de an DE

THX anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] thiagolr:
Dave,

If you go to settings -> languages and change it to german. And then open navigation (NOT from my app's shortcut), does it speak in german?

Did you create a shortcut for maps or for navigation?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jfmart:
I've tried it with Navigon from spanish to english and it works (both menus and speech), but doesn't go back to spanish when I exit the app. Is that the expected behavior?
[Android Apps and Games] thiagolr:
jfmart,

no, it should have gone back to spanish! i will check what might have gone wrong! thanks for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] thiagolr:
For those who are trying to use Navigation, try pointing to Maps and then launch Navigation from there!
[Android Apps and Games] Dave-Kay:
OK, that fault was up to me! I checked Language settings and they were messed up. i switched back to english and made a new icon which works fine till now.

THX!
[Android Apps and Games] thiagolr:
Perfect! =)
[Android Apps and Games] Ghazkul:
So ehm, isnt this supposed to restore back to default lanuage after you are done with an app ? I just tried Localized Apps and it doesnt restore it :(

Ok I noticed this did work for maps but not for Navigon, I am not sure if its Navigon fault or if its because I use tasker to increase media sound and brightness when running the app and then lower them back to default afterwards.
[Android Apps and Games] Ghazkul:
I did some more testing, I disabled tasker and created a new shortcut to NAVIGON, and still it did not swap back to correct language afterwards. It do work with other apps but just not navigon for some odd reason.

I do have a feature request:

Can you implement so that your app appear on the list of supported shortcuts making apps ? eg when you long press on the home screen and select shortcuts then your app will be on that list. This means that apps like Folder Organzier can create a shortcuts using your app.
