[LG Optimus 3D] largo79:
I have a developer phone which came with 4 games. There's a 3D games app or icon that comes with your phone which you click and it takes you to Gamelofts Optimus 3d game page. There's 5 games you can choose from there. And yes, you can play refrain games using Chainfire drivers. Search for the Chainfire 3D thread here on XDA then buy the application on the market.
[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
do I have to root my Optimus 3D to allow use Chainfire 3D?

btw is it possible to get a same loader or whatever it's called, when you drag down window from your (time/battery etc etc) top corner of your screen, on HTC there you can see recent used apps/stuff, but on my LG I cant, it's only showing quick turn on/off for bluetooth,wifi etcetc and music player, can I somehow add a extra line with recently used apps?
[LG Optimus 3D] snowing:
You will need root access to install and use Chainfire 3D

You can press your home button long enough and it will show you the recent accessed/used apps.
[LG Optimus 3D] daGUCCI:
googled chainfire 3d, is it new loader or its just support tool for 3d? if I dont have root access can I play tegra 2 games?

I use Folder Organizer. There's a paid version and a lite version in the market. Not sure what the difference is between the two or what features the lite version lacks.

SiMi Folder. Its the best imo

the new market is awful! i used to get on in the morning and scroll thru the "just arrived" apps with breakfast.. but theres no feature like that in the new market. not to mention the new interface is fugly and when you search for apps books show up.. i didnt search for books! i think they made a mistake with this version. what do you think?
[EVO 4G General] cwbristow@cox.net:
I preferred previous version,

the new market is cramped and busy, with less info,

went into manage apps and uninstalled update,

back to original..... yeah!

Try appbrain its a app market. Its gives you latest new, and populer apps out. Also you can set setting to your needs.

[Acer Iconia A500] chickin2000:
Ello guys and girls, just a quick question about the thumb keyboard! I have just installed it on my a500 and I go to use it and it forces close! Why? Is it because I'm a noob and i have set it up wrong or would it be something to do with the install? Thanks:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
Don't know. I've used it since day 1 on the Acer. Installation should be pretty straightforward (it just installs from the market, assuming you are installing from the market).

Then you enable it in settings and go through the setup choices.

Or did you install from an apk?
[Acer Iconia A500] chickin2000:
Thanks for getting back to me dude, its an apk! Is that bad?:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
Most likely there are other files you either; 1. didn't copy to the right folder, 2. didn't set the permissions properly or both.

I suggest downloading it from the market and paying for it. It is worth the money IMO.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Delete the one you have contour market install from there. I to have been using it from day one.and I pre ordered my tab.typing on it now never one issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] chickin2000:
Thanks to everyone that got back to me, i will get it from the market and see how i get on! :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniellekyle5:
I constantly am taking my phone outta my pocket, and it sometimes gets stuck when I wear jeans... Which case should I go with?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
If you are concerned with it getting stuck to your jeans, I recommend going with a case that doesn't have a soft rubber component to the case. Soft rubber in my experience will always stick more than just hard smooth case plastic. even the TPU cases seem to slide in and out of my pocket better than soft silicone (which is what I believe the seidio and incipio cases have exposed through the hard piece).

Other than that, I ordered the white and grey incipio and it should be here within the next couple days. I think it looks slick-as-snot (at least in the pics online). If you like, I'll let you know how much it sticks in my pocket when I get it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
the seidio surface that theatheistreverend referenced is a good one. so is the incipio feather. i have both but been using the incipio feather more just because it adds less bulk than the seidio. both are good and grippy without any issues of lint or getting stuck in pockets.

@theatheistreverend - look forward to hear what you think of the incipio white/grey. looks very nice but one of the reviewers did say the silicon seems to gather lint, which is why i went with the feather instead. at any rate, let us know what you think of it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daniellekyle5:
I failed to mention that I have the incipio case.. and that's what gets stuck. I'm thinking about trying out the Seidio though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
The Incipio is a great case for the Inc2, but it's a dust bunny, I had to get rid of it. TPU is great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
How do you like that feather? I have thought about trying one but I worry about it protecting the top, bottom and corners. Does it seem like it would protect well against dropping regardless of how it lands? Mine always seems to land on its corner.

I will let you know when I get the incipio.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bik2101:
Yeah I mean it probably wouldn't protect too well against drops especially to the top and bottom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Well, I have had my incipio case on my phone most of the day and though I cannot attest to it gathering lint, I will say I am disappointed.

It is a lot of trouble getting the case on and off. The hard shell is so tight and the silicon is so soft, the hard case pulls at the silicon and a lot of adjusting needs to be done to get it right.

The softness of the silicon felt cool at first, but now I notice that it feels like a wrapper made of baby skin. The slightest push on an edge and it gives way and folds over backwards like a weak fingernail.

I'll get back to you if I notice any excess of lint. That is if I can stand to keep this on for much longer.

I still say it looks pretty sweet though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] deaffob:
Buy from Amazon to save some money guys. A lot cheaper than their website
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Had my incipio on for a few days now. I have had to brush a hair or two from the silicon part of the case, but a lint magnet it is not. My house must just be a bigger lint magnet than my phone since everyone else seems to have lint issues with silicon.

I am beginning to really like my case, but I'll still try others as time goes on. I get bored.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I just ordered a Seidio Surface from Amazon. I got the case and a car charger for about $33 with shipping. I have an Innocase on my old Eris, and I liked it. They don't add too much size to the phone.

[HTC Desire S] codryn:
For those who don`t want to brick power button may be an answer beside using apps like tap tap or similar in using sensor and consuming battery life.

It is possible to do this with desire s? (for volume up/down or home key maybe)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683902
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:
Although I didn't try myself I've heard that tap tap is working on Desire S.

Another option is possible if you run CM7 rom (early beta can be found in this section). Within CM settings there is an option to enable volume keys to wake the device. I've tested it and it works perfectly. You can also use it in conjunction with Screen Off And Lock app (free version on the Market) which is fantastic app in itself. It puts a shortcut on your home screen and by tapping it you send your device to sleep. This is perfect combination for me since it actually enables me to skip using power button completely.

As for capacitive keys, afaik it's impossible to wake the device with them.
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
Would this method not cause battery drain as it either uses the proximity sensor or keeps the screen in partial wake mode?
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
I know that is working but at full recharge after 9 hours in the morning I checked battery status what is using it and tap tap app was using 46% of it... is a very good app but I don`t want to stay with recharger in my pocket :))
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
I have modified all saga_keypad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout, made key 114,115 (volume keys) WAKE_DROPPED and nothing... I can`t unlock screen with volumes.

CM7 rom can use it, LockBot can use it why we can`t use it by modify it in manual mode without any app?

edit: I have tried this using Root Explorer file edit. After I saw this:

Why only with adb ? Is not the same if I have DS rooted ?
[HTC Desire S] crubbish:
I believe the question was about Screen Off And Lock app? If that's the case then no, there's no extra battery drain. Tapping the shortcut puts the phone into proper sleep mode.
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
I`m using Screen Off And Lock too binded on search key to turn off. I liked to tap tap but I don`t want to have proximity sensor always on.
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
HEEEEELP. Now I can`t use my buttons :(((( what should I do please? I can use touch screen but no buttons :(( How can I enter in recovery to full wipe without buttons? :((
[HTC Desire S] bioan:
Through ADB.

adb shell reboot recovery
[HTC Desire S] andypig04:
use SEARCH key to lock screen

[YOUTUBE]2Mv4Hg-RK3A[/YOUTUBE]

key 217 SEARCH => key 217 POWER

The POWER button is not too weak

so I think we can UNLOCK screen by using POWER botton
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
i managed to go in rom manager > boot into recovery > wipe/format everithing and installing new rom.

In key test all keys are working. Now lets hope that keys are working in awake mode to.

yee keys are working now. so don`t use root explorer to modify keyboard settings :|
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
Ended to use WidgetLocker. Very good app and I can unlock screen with volume keys but I have to forget default lockscreen (lbc rom) :(
[HTC Desire S] vankox:
I'd love to be able to implement this feature as well!

I've used WidgetLocker which did the job but the lockscreens weren't quite to my taste.

Anyone else out there keen for this feature?
[HTC Desire S] codryn:
No luck until now...so I`m not the only one who doesn`t want to use 3rd app that drain battery to unlock screen :)) Welcome in the club bro...

update: after using ButtonRemapper v0.2.4.1:

1.volume +- with wake_dropped = didn`t worked to unlock screen.

2.volume +- binded as power and wake_dropped = when screen was on it worked to make screen off but when screen was off didn`t worked to unlock.

out of ideas :|

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MA14NEY:
Hi guys, a little information required.

I've had my GSII for about two weeks now and I love it. The one problem, however, is battery life.

I only get 10 hours on standby....!

My phone is not rooted and I have not made any modifications to bootloaders or such. My flatmate has the same phone and he can easily be getting 30+ hours with moderate use.

I have read some of the threads about battery life but was unsure if the problems (and solutions) were applicable to my situation.

I have tried a different battery so I know it's not the battery.

All help and information will be appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
1- Start using Advanced Task Killer aka ATK. Try the Free version from market first, if you like it then buy the paid one. It has worked splendidly well for me.

If you want to do it the hard way then the followings,

2- Root your phone, install Titanium Backup/Pro and Freeze/Uninstall the programs which are useless and you don't use. Apps like AP Mobile, SNS Accounts, Software Update always searches for update.

3- Make sure to Turn Off Wi-Fi, 3G, Packet Data, Auto Sync, Background Data when not needed.

4- Try to keep Manual refreshing in the application rather than Automatic refreshment.

5- Keep as low as possible widgets. More widgets equal to more battery drainage.

6- Install an app called Battery Calibration by Nema from and Calibrate the battery. It's a MUST step imo.

Regards.

Thanks for the replies.

How is it that in Engadget's review they lay claim to 20 hours of battery whilst using wifi etc and my phone can only manage 10 on standby with no wifi activated and refreshes are set to half-hourly...

Something seems to be fundamentally wrong with my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
It's not about the Standby Time, never was. Just check how long your display is on for, if it's above 4 or 4½ hours then you are in good postition.

Nah ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MA14NEY:
My phone was in my pocket doing nothing. I was working and used the display to check the time only, about 4 or 5 times.

10 hours is a pitiful amount of time for a phone to last on standby.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well, do the step/s I said above, do a Hard Reset before and see how you are going.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MA14NEY:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:

Post screenshots of settings > about > battery usage. Of both of the battery graph and the list of %'s.

Its most likely that something is keeping the phone from going to sleep, what rom version are you using? (in settings>about "build number"/"kernel version"/"baseband version")

A friend of mine said the same to me. But I really don't understand why I shall not use ATK when it is giving me a great result?

Is there an e-mail client I can use that won't have this problem...?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
You can try K-9 Mail or Kaiten Mail. They aren't bad :). But I frankly yet to find a good email client, tried those I said, and also, MailDroid, Enhanced Email, but none of them suited me. Finally back with stock GMail and Email.

***Update from my side,***

Installed Juice Defender Ultimate last night with Night Mode enabled on Customise profile and disabled ATK and at today morning I noticed there was no battery drain, it was 31% last night and the same today morning after 9 hours. With ATK it was around 2-3%. So far so good, but I will wait and see further.

I have a query, does the Preset work in JD? What preset is advised? Extreme or Advanced? or else to save more juice?

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MA14NEY:

Everything seems to be working fab now: Fully charged last night and then calibrated the battery.

Lost 5% in 10 hours 30min with sync set to half hourly!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
The problem with ATK is that is totally screws with 2.3's task management system, also it will be waking the phone up all the time, the longer the phone can be asleep the better.

Goodo! Im glad to hear its working for you.

with VR2.0 the less time your screen is on the longer you will get, some people have gotten 4-5 day battery life with almost no screen time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
Wtf, 10 hours standby? That's ridiculously bad, I'd say a hard reset or it's surely a faulty battery. I get 3 or 4 days on standby alone.

I always do Task Manager/RAM/Clear Memory and it physically shows me the amount of RAM becoming available again. What's the difference between killing tasks with that and ATK, and why do people say using a task killer is bad when presumably running tasks eat battery?

That sounds excellent. There are mixed reviews on the free version, but the ultimate seems fine. Is this app only for idle time or does it still improve battery drain during usage?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well I got confused. Where did I say that I get 10 hours of stand by time? I said it didn't lose a single battery percentage overnight, which was nearly 10 hours. It was 31% at 2 am and I went to sleep, then at 11-30 am I checked it, was same 31%.

Regarding the battery drain

Hi..

I purchased GS2 3 days ago and I was facing battery issues...I read this thread and rooted my mobile. I have attached the screen shots of my kernel version before rooting and after rooting.

Please note that it was XWKE8 before rooting and after rooting its XWKDD. I used Odin3-v1.85, SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse and XWKDD_insecure.tar for rooting.

I also installed Juice Defender (FREE version), calibrated my phone in the night. It did not lose battery in the night. However, in the morning, I can see that it has lost ~10% battery in 90 minutes.

I have already freezed Wifi Sharing and Software Update and have uninstalled Social Hub, Gaming Hub,Accu Weather,SNS Accounts, etc.

Can someone please help me with this really pissing battery drainage. I will be really thankful.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Arghhhhhh, had a bad last night. From previous nights NO battery drain last night it drained 5% battery! Though the Night Mode got skipped in JD-U. Why? Well I don't know. Now there is again a solid Awake bar present when Screen was off and that definitely caused the drain. But Why? Why? Why? I also asked for an optimal setting which should be used in JD-U in the JD thread in General section. Please HELP ME guys.
